Reduction of the amount of intestinal secretory IgA in fulminant hepatic failure.

Glyphosate Poisoning with Acute Fulminant Hepatic Failure

Background: Glyphosate containing herbicides are widely used the world over. They are marketed as nontoxic to humans, but numerous studies have showed that these glyphosate-based herbicides (GlySH) can cause multiorgan damage.1 Recent reports of animal studies on rats have raised a doubt of liver damage after long term exposure to GlySH. Case Presentation: a young male had chronic exposure to G...

Biochemical and Molecular Roles of Nutrients Reduction in the Quantity of the Polymeric Immunoglobulin Receptor Is Sufficient to Account for the Low Concentration of Intestinal Secretory Immunoglobulin A in a Weanling Mouse Model of Wasting Protein-Energy Malnutrition

The main objective of this investigation was to determine the influence of protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) in weanling mice on the expression of the hepatic and intestinal polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR), a molecule that transports mucosal immunoglobulin A (IgA) into the intestinal lumen. An experimental system was used that produces systemic wasting (loss of approximately 1.9% of in...

A Rare Presentation of Multiple Myeloma: A Case Report of Hepatic Amyloidosis

The clinically reported case of liver involvement with multiple myeloma (MM) is rare. Amyloidosis, defined as a tissue deposition of clonal light-chain fibrils, has been reported in 10-15% of the MM patients. We described a rare MM patient with the primal presentation of fulminant hepatic failure and biliary system involvement due to amyloidosis. Our patient had the primal symptoms of hyperbili...
