introduction: the principal dose-limiting factor in the use of cisplatin as an antineoplastic drug is its hepatic toxicity. this study was designed to investigate the protective role of taurine against cisplatin-induced hepatic injury. methods: male albino rats (180-220 g) were divided in to 4 groups (n=8) as follows: (1) saline-treated group (2): cisplatin-treated group (10 mg/kg ip) (3): grou...

Objective(s): Liver transplantation is the most important therapy for end-stage liver disease and ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury is indeed a risk factor for hepatic failure after grafting. The role of miRNAs in I/R is not completely understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential protective role of the mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and ischemic pr...

results the basic mechanism of hepatic ischemia – reperfusion injury is one of blood deprivation during ischemia, followed by the return of flow during reperfusion. it involves a complex series of events, such as mitochondrial deenergization, adenosine-5'-triphosphate depletion, alterations of electrolyte homeostasis, as well as kupffer cell activation, oxidative stress changes and upregulation...

Objective(s): The objectives of the current study were to evaluate the effects of hepatic ‎ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury on the activity of antioxidant enzymes, biochemical factors, and ‎histopathological changes in rat kidney, and to investigate the effect of crocin on IR-‎related changes. Materials and Methods: Thirty-two male Wistar rats were randomly allocated into four groups (n=8). The...

conclusions despite the adverse effects of inhalational halogenated anesthetics (especially halothane) on hepatic patients when necessary. the effects on all systems must be considered and the necessary preparations must be provided. these drugs are still used, if necessary, due to the presence of positive effects and advantages mentioned in other studies as well as the adverse effects of other...

conclusions hepatic shock is detected in ill patients, especially those with hemodynamic disorders. it can be prevented by early treatment of underlying disease. there is no definite treatment for hepatic shock and should be managed conservatively. hepatic shock in patients can increase the mortality rate. results different causes can lead to hepatic shock. most of these causes can be prevented...

introduction drug-induced liver injury is a frequent cause of hepatic dysfunction. several drugs have been identified to cause autoimmune hepatitis (aih). environmental chemicals are capable of triggering a certain degree of liver injury. however, toxin induced aih is rare. conclusions chronic (long-term) exposures to dichlorvos can lead to aih. a detailed inquiry of medical history and liver b...
