Association between microRNA‑527 and glypican‑3 in hepatocellular carcinoma

Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Sheep

Hepatocellular carcinoma in a sheep

At necropsy of a five-year-old sheep, a pear shaped, lobular yellow-brownish mass measuring about 12 ×15 × 20 cm was found to involve the right hepatic lobe. Microscopic examination revealed two trabecularand solid patterns of neoplastic hepatocytes. In solid pattern, there were numerous tumoral giant cells thatcontain one or more large hyperchromatic bizarre-shaped nuclei scattered among clust...

The association between hepatitis B mutants and hepatocellular carcinoma

BACKGROUND More and more studies focus on the relationship between hepatitis B virus (HBV) basal core promoter/precore (BCP/PC) mutations, but it remains controvercial, we conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the features of hepatitis B virus basal core promoter/precore mutations on the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted for article...

Significant Association Between Adiponutrin and Hepatocellular Carcinoma Risk

ADPN I148M polymorphism has been consistently reported to play a role in liver-associated diseases, such as alcoholic liver disease, chronic hepatitis C, and liver fat and fibrosis in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. This significant association was also indicated in a series of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) studies, where the significance may be affected due to the small sample sizes. The ai...

 Association between metabolic abnormalities and hepatitis C-related hepatocellular carcinoma.

BACKGROUND AND AIM Metabolic syndrome is recognised as a potential risk factor for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The association between metabolic factors and hepatitis C (HCV)-related HCC has not yet been well clarified. This study was conducted to elucidate the role of metabolic factors in HCV-related HCC. MATERIAL AND METHODS We recruited 147 HCC patients and compared ...
