Objective To present the computed tomography (CT) findings and associated pathological features of eight cases of primary hepatic angiosarcoma (PHA) .Methods All cases were confirmed by pathology.After a CT scan of the upper abdomen, all cases of PHA underwent enhanced scans in the arterial phase, p...
Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of terlipressin combined with albumin in management of patients with hepatorenal syndrome.Methods A retrospective study enrolling 46 patients with hepatorenal syndrome from May 2011 to August 2013 was conducted, in which 22 patients were allocated to contr...
Objective To compare the levels of Golgi glycoprotein 73 (GP73) , alpha- fetoprotein heterogeneity 3 (AFP- L3) , alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) , and α- L- fucosidase (AFU) between patients with different liver diseases and the diagnostic value of any or a combination of these makers for liver cancer.Metho...
Objective To investigate the role and action mechanism of chemokine (C- X- C motif) receptor 3 (CXCR3) in hepatic ischemia- reperfusion injury (IRI) .Methods Forty- eight mice were divided into operation group and sham- operation group.The operation group was treated to establish a mouse model of IR...
Abstract: In recent years, there has been increasing evidence that microcirculatory disturbance, including vasoconstriction, shunting, inadequate perfusion, increased blood viscosity, and coagulation, is closely associated with the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis (AP) .These processes may be exacerbated by...
Abstract: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) is an intermediate replicative episome which is stable and not easy to eliminate.cccDNA serves as the template for HBV replication and plays an important role in persistence of HBV infection in hepatocytes, and it is also a biomarker of...
