background: the use of stem cells is considered as an appropriate source in cell therapy and tissue engineering. differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hipscs) to hepatocyte-like cells (hlcs) on mouse embryonic fibroblasts (mefs) feeders is confronted with several problems that hinder the clinical applications of these differentiated cells for the treatment of liver injuries. ...

BACKGROUND Associating liver partition with portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy induces more extensive liver hypertrophy than ligation alone; however, the mechanisms underlying the accelerated liver regrowth and the functional quality of the hypertrophic liver are presently elusive. This study, therefore, investigated the effect of parenchymal transection on liver volume and function af...

PROBLEM Due to the relative scarcity of crashes, there has consistently been a problem with analyses that use crashes as a criterion measure in their analyses. METHOD Previous analyses of the relationships between functional capacity measures and at-fault crash involvement for older drivers as reported in the NHTSA Model Driver Screening and Evaluation Program Final Technical Report have been...

Setting standards for medically based running analyses is necessary to ensure that runners receive a high-quality service from practitioners. Medical and training history, physical and functional tests, and motion analysis of running at self-selected and faster speeds are key features of a comprehensive analysis. Self-reported history and movement symmetry are critical factors that require foll...

Interpretation of abnormalities in liver function tests is a common problem faced by clinicians. This has become more common with the introduction of automated routine laboratory testing. Not all persons with one or more abnormalities in these tests actually have liver disease. The various biochemical tests, their pathophysiology, and an approach to the interpretation of abnormal liver function...

Background: Doxorubicin (DOX) is an effective anti-cancer medicine with serious side effects on healthy organs, especially the liver. Objectives: The present study aimed to investigate histopathology and of Livergol (Liv), a product Silybum marianum, serum levels hepatic parameters in long-term DOX-treated rats. Methods: Sixty three male Wistar rats were divided into seven groups, namely contro...

conclusions it seems that surrogate liver function tests and adipocytokine levels were correlated with the histologic findings of the liver. objectives the aim of the study was to evaluate the correlation between serum adipocytokines and the histologic findings of the liver in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld). patients and methods this case-control study was performed on ...
