Long-Term, Low-Dose Exposure to Microcystin-LR Does not Cause or Increase the Severity of Liver Disease in Rodents
Background. Acute exposure to high concentrations of microcystin-LR (MC-LR) can cause significant hepatocyte injury. Aim. To document the effects of long-term, low-dose MC-LR exposure on hepatic inflammation and fibrosis...
Feasibility and reliability of the FibroScan S2 (pediatric) probe compared with the M probe for liver stiffness measurement in small adults with chronic liver disease
[b]Background[/b]. The success of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography (TE, FibroScan) is influenced by anthropometric factors. In smaller adults, the M probe may fail due to narrow intercostals sp...
Acute liver failure in under two year-olds - are there markers of metabolic disease on admission?
Introduction. The early establishment of an etiology for acute liver failure (ALF) in infants is essential for the start of adequate treatment in the shortest timeframe possible.Aim. To identify markers of inherited meta...
Peginterferon alpha-2b plus ribavirin for chronic hepatitis C virus mixed genotype infection
Background and aim. The treatment efficacy of peginterferon plus ribavirin for patients with HCV genotype 1 is inferior to that in patients with HCV genotype 2, but the efficacy among patients with mixed HCV genotype 1 +...
Role of nitric oxide in liver regeneration
The liver has a remarkable ability to regenerate in response to surgical removal or chemical insult. The mechanisms regulating regenerative processes are complex, and incompletely understood. A large number genes, whic...
