There are many observations in man which describe the frequency and severity of bacterial infections of the hepato-biliary system in association with common bile duct obstruction.:` This association has been corroborated in animals by observing the frequency with which complicating bacterial infections interfere with experiments designed to study the effects of sterile biliary obstruction.5" In...

Professor Brice Gayet of the Institut Mutualiste Montsouris in Paris, France, has developed totally laparoscopic techniques for all segments of the liver. As a pioneer in the field of minimally invasive hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery, he started a Minimally Invasive Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Fellowship in 2006. A retrospective review of all hepatic cases performed by a single surgeon since com...

Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder caused by abnormal carbohydrate metabolism, and closely associated with abnormal lipid metabolism and hepato-renal dysfunction. This study investigated the anti-diabetic and hepato-renal protective properties of ziyuglycoside I (ZG01) derivative on type 2 diabetes. ZG01 was isolated from roots of Sanguisorba officinalis and chemically modified by deglycos...

Many herbaceous plants contain compounds that have biological effects in addition to their medicinal properties. They have compounds with numerous properties, including hypo lipidemic, hypoglycemic, antioxidant, and hepato protective ones, which have been analyzed at different levels. One of these plants, with the scientific name of Berberis vulgaris, is barberry. The most important compounds i...

Liver damage caused by pathogen as well as chemical reagents are of similar nature and a proper treatment regime is absent for both. Most of the hepato toxic chemicals damage liver cells mainly by inducing lipid peroxidation and other oxidative damages. Lack of allopathic medicine for the cure of hepatic injury exhorted the scientist to explore herbal medicine. Thus we have attempted to establi...
