Alcoholic liver disease and autoimmune hepatitis: Sometimes a closer look under the surface is needed
(2021)Aims: Differential diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) incorporates various liver diseases, including alcoholic liver disease (ALD). We report on clinical, laboratory and outcome characteristics of AIH patients who ... -
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1B1: Molecular cloning and characterization of a novel mitochondrial acetaldehyde-metabolizing enzyme
(2010)Ethanol-induced damage is largely attributed to its toxic metabolite, acetaldehyde. Clearance of acetaldehyde is achieved by its oxidation, primarily catalyzed by the mitochondrial class II aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2). ... -
Anti-mitochondrial antibody immunofluorescent titres correlate with the number and intensity of immunoblot-detected mitochondrial bands in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis
(2007)Background: Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC)-specific anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA), routinely detected by indirect immunofluoresnce, immunofix various mitochondrial antigens by immunoblot (IB). We have investigated ... -
Antimitochondrial antibodies of immunoglobulin G3 subclass are associated with a more severe disease course in primary biliary cirrhosis
(2007)Background/Aims: Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is characterised by the presence of immunoglobulin (Ig) G antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA), which are routinely detected by indirect immunofluorescence (IFL) using composite ... -
Assessment of copper accumulation in archived liver specimens from cats
(2021)Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess hepatic copper concentrations and zonal distribution in cat liver specimens. Methods: For this study, 121 archived, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded liver specimens from ... -
Association between the primary biliary cirrhosis specific anti-sp100 antibodies and recurrent urinary tract infection
(2003)Background and aims. Recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTI) have been suggested to be involved in the induction of anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA), the serological hallmark of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), in ... -
The canine copper toxicosis gene MURR1 is not implicated in the pathogenesis of Wilson disease
(2006)Background. It has recently been demonstrated that the Wilson disease (WD) protein directly interacts with the human homolog of the MURR1 protein in vitro and in vivo, and that this interaction is specific for the copper ... -
Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein on the spot for liver fibrosis evaluation: Too early or too late?
(2017)[No abstract available] -
Celiac Trunk and Hepatic Arteries: Anatomical Variations of Liver Arterial Supply as Detected with Multidetector Computed Tomography in 1,520 Patients and its Clinical Importance
(2020)Hepatic arterial variations are relatively common, but usually overlooked by radiologists, leading to iatrogenic complications or prolonging interventional or surgical procedures. Michels in 1966 classified hepatic arterial ... -
The challenges of primary biliary cholangitis: What is new and what needs to be done
(2019)Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is an uncommon, chronic, cholangiopathy of autoimmune origin and unknown etiology characterized by positive anti-mitochondrial autoantibodies (AMA), female preponderance and progression ... -
Clinical and virological heterogeneity of hepatitis delta in different regions world-wide: The Hepatitis Delta International Network (HDIN)
(2018)Background & Aims: Chronic hepatitis D (delta) is a major global health burden. Clinical and virological characteristics of patients with hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection and treatment approaches in different regions ... -
COMP serum levels: A new non-invasive biomarker of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic viral hepatitis
(2017)Background & aims Recently we have shown that cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), a fibrillar collagen assembly regulator, is strongly associated with cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma progression. Therefore, ... -
Control of liver abscesses in lambs by using marbofloxacin
(2012)We describe cases of liver abscesses in a group of newborn lambs. Diagnosis was based on the combination of clinical signs with the findings of ultrasonographic examination of the abdomen: oval, hypoechoic structure with ... -
Current research and application of stem cells in the dog and cat
(2021)Stem cells (SCs) are multipotent cells with differentiation and proliferation capacities in many cell lineages. The majority of literature applications are about bone marrow derived stem cells (BMSCs) and adipose derived ... -
Effects of sheep/goat whey protein dietary supplementation on the redox status of rats
(2018)The purpose of the present study is to estimate the effects of sheep/goat whey protein dietary supplementation on the redox status of blood and tissues of rats. Twelve male Wistar rats were divided into the control group ... -
Effects of short-term saffron (Crocus sativus L.) intake on the in vivo activities of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes in healthy volunteers
(2019)Crocus sativus L., a perennial plant grown mainly around the Mediterranean and Iran, has many medicinal properties including anti-inflammatory, anti-depressive and cancer preventing properties. Aqueous herbal extracts may ... -
Efficient liver gene transfer with foamy virus vectors
(2013)Liver gene transfer offers hope for the correction of genetic and acquired disorders. Efficient gene transfer in large animals can be obtained with hydrodynamic gene transfer (HGT), a method that can achieve sufficient ... -
