Effect of histamine on the electrophysiology of the human parietal pleura
(2011)Introduction: Histamine is involved in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases and regulates the permeability of different tissues. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of histamine on the electrophysiology ... -
Expression patterns of endothelin-1 and its receptors in colorectal cancer
(2012)Background and Objectives Endothelin-1 (ET-1), a potent vasoconstricting peptide, plays an important role in carcinogenesis. Previous in vitro studies have shown that colorectal cancer cells produce ET-1. Methods: ET-1 and ... -
Gray and Color Doppler Ultrasonography in differentiation between chronic viral hepatitis and compensated early stage cirrhosis
(2007)Aim. To assess the value of Gray scale (GS) and Colour Doppler Ultrasonography (CDU) in differentiating the progression of chronic viral hepatitis (CVH) and compensated liver cirrhosis (CIR). Patients and methods. Seventy-two ... -
Hepatitis B virus and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma
(2007)Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is a rare type of primary liver cancer that arises from intrahepatic bile ducts. Its etiopathogenesis has been considered to be independent of the presence of chronic viral hepatitis ... -

Permeability Alterations after Surgical Trauma in Normal Rabbit Peritoneum
(2010)Background: To investigate whether surgical trauma in a rabbit adhesion formation model and the administration of normal saline (N/S), icodextrin (ID) and/or dimetindene maleate (DM) changes the permeability of the normal ... -
Prevention of postoperative adhesion formation by individual and combined administration of 4 per cent icodextrin and dimetindene maleate
(2009)Background, To date, no single method has been successful in eliminating peritoneal adhesion formation after major abdominal surgery. This study evaluated the individual and possible synergistic effect of a local intraperitoneal ... -
The role of antibiotic prophylaxis in elective tension-free mesh inguinal hernia repair: results of a single-centre prospective randomised trial
(2007)Hernia repair is one of the so-called clean operations. Many surgeons, however, use antibiotics, especially in the mesh repair era, without strong evidence to support this policy. We conducted a single-centre prospective ... -
Role of Histamine in Altering Fluid Recycling in Normal and Post-Traumatic Rabbit Peritoneum
(2014)This study aims to investigate if histamine induces electrochemical alterations in the normal and post-traumatic peritoneum. Peritoneal rabbit specimens were obtained before surgery and 10 days post-operatively and were ... -
Safety and Efficacy of Transcatheter Arterial Chemoemboliazation in the Real-Life Management of Unresectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma
(2013)Background: Trans-arterial chemoembolization (TACE) is associated with better survival in BCLC-stage B patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and Child-Pugh A whereas in Child-Pugh B there is no definite evidence of ... -
