Morphological types of hepatocellular hyalin in Indian childhood cirrhosis: an ultrastructural study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Morphological variants of intrahepatocytic hyalin in Indian childhood cirrhosis have been analysed by electron microscopy. This structure, morphologically identical with Mallory's alcoholic hyalin, is encountered in three different forms. The most common one is composed of randomly oriented fibrils. The next common type is composed of smudgy homogeneous or finely granular material, while the least common type consists of parallel fibrils with gentle curves giving a 'finger-print' appearance. Fragmented endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes were frequently associated with hyalin suggesting that these organelles contribute to their formation.

Liver cancer is the one of most common types of cancer and the 2nd cause of cancer-associated mortalities worldwide. Establishing appropriate animal models of liver cancer is essential for basic and translational studies. The present study evaluated the effects of the combined use of alcohol with a conventional chemical-induced mouse liver cancer model. The treatment of alcohol/diethylnitrosami...
متن کاملEvaluation of serum AFP (α-fetoprotein) level in HBsAg carrier patients for diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is common all over the world as well as Iran. The incidence of HCC is higher in hepatitis B carriers and it is highly recommended to periodically screen these patients by serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and liver ultrasound (US) every 6 months. We explore the diagnostic accuracy and the performance of (AFP) in cases of hepatitis B carriers as a scree...
