Congenital Hepatic Fibrosis (CHF) is a rare disease that affects both the liver and kidneys.  Congenital hepatic fibrosis (CHF) is an autosomal recessive inherited malformation defined pathologically by a variable degree of periportal fibrosis and irregularly shaped proliferating bile ducts. Affected individuals also have impaired renal function, usually caused, in children and teenagers, by an...

Background: Post-operative fibrosis related pains and functional anomalies  can be serious problems for patients. Radiotherapy (RT) could inhibit fibrosis which may occurs post- operation especially following laminectomy. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate the effect of peri-operative RT on the prevention of post-operative fibrosis and scar formation on rats. Materials and Method...

airway remodelling is characterized by the thickening and reorganization of the airways seen in mustard  lung patients. mustard lung is the  general description  for  the  chronic obstructive  pulmonary  disease induced  by  sulfur  mustard(sm). pulmonary  disease was diagnosed as the most important  disorder in individuals that had been exposed to sulfur mustard. sulfur mustard is a chemical w...

objective(s):fuzheng huayu recipe (fzhy) exerts significant protective effects against liver fibrosis by strengthening the body’s resistance and removing blood stasis. however, the molecular mechanisms through which fzhy affects liver fibrosis are still unclear. in this study, we examined the expression levels of factors involved in the inhibitor κb kinase-β (ikk-β)/nuclear factor-κb (nf-κb) an...

Background: The aim of our study is to investigate the impact simple breathing exercises (LHP’s respiratory rehabilitation for pulmonary fibrosis, LHP’s RRPF) on patients with idiopathic fibrosis (IPF).

background: in patients with hepatitis b and c, environmental factors such as smoking and alcohol can cause liver fibrosis progression. but opium effects on liver fibrosis progression are not clear. this study was designed to assess the relationship of opium user and liver fibrosis progression. methods: in this case-control study, sixty patients in hepatitis b group and sixty patients in hepati...

objective(s): gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd) is one of the most common digestive disorders that frequently lead to pulmonary complications due to gastric fluid aspiration. in the present experimental study, chronic aspiration of gastric fluid, its components and bile salts in rat lung was performed to find out the main factor(s) causing pulmonary complications of gastric fluid aspiratio...

background: vitamin d, especially its most active metabolite 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin d₃(vit d) is essential in regulating a wide variety of biologic processes, such as regulating mesangial cell activation. the objective of this study was to assess the histopathological changes of effectiveness of vit d as a protective agent against radiation induced lung injury. materials and methods: eighteen wi...
