Kupffer cells play an important role in liver function and phagocytosis of foreign particles in the hepatic portal tract. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of several hepatotoxic chemicals (allyl alcohol, ethylhexanol, and menadione) and hypoxia on phagocytic
CVD (cardiovascular disease) is associated with abnormal liver enzymes, and NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease) is independently associated with cardiovascular risk. To gain insights into the molecular events underlying the association between liver enzymes and CVD, we developed an HFD
METHODS
Male, 52 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: L-asparaginase associated steatohepatitis and pulmonary Pneumocystis Symptoms: Cholestasis • hepatomegaly
METHODS
Corticosteroids • atovaquone • antioxidant therapy Clinical Procedure: Liver biopsy Specialty: Hematology • Infectious Disease •
Chronic alcohol causes hepatic steatosis and liver hypoxia. Hypoxia-regulated hypoxia-inducible factor 1-α, (HIF-1α) may regulate liporegulatory genes, but the relationship of HIF-1 to steatosis remains unknown. We investigated HIF-1α in alcohol-induced hepatic lipid accumulation. Alcohol
We studied, retrospectively, 92 children who were first seen with neonatal cholestasis and who were followed up until liver test results normalized. Among the 92 children, 81 displayed factors responsible for chronic and/or acute perinatal distress. Onset of jaundice was recorded at a mean age of 7
Hepatomegaly is a common manifestation in Gaucher disease. In some patients with the disease, hepatic fibrosis and portal hypertension are observed. A patient with Gaucher disease with the hepatopulmonary syndrome associated with severe cyanosis and hypoxemia was examined for intrapulmonary
BACKGROUND
Hypoxaemia constitutes a possible complication of severe respiratory illness which is often under-reported in developing countries. Therefore, the current study was carried out to determine the prevalence and clinical predictors of hypoxaemia in hospitalized under-five children with
We report a case of a female neonate with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome who manifested upper airway obstruction soon after birth and suffered from intractable hypoglycemia and abdominal distention caused by nephromegaly. She was delivered at 31 weeks of gestation with 2480 g and was diagnosed as
Clinical and epidemiological features of syphilis and the course and outcome of pregnancy were studied in 155 pregnant women infected with syphilis; 95 (61%) women were unemployed, 47% were unmarried. Syphilis proceeded without clinical manifestations in 121 cases (78%). Discordant results of
This double-blinded, randomized, crossover study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of 20 mL/kg aliquots of packed red blood cell (PRBC) transfusions versus 15 mL/kg aliquot transfusions in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants with anemia. The study enrolled 22 hemodynamically stable VLBW
The methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MARS) mutation is a very rare cause of congenital pulmonary alveolar proteinosis.We report a 6-month-old boy born with symmetrical intrauterine growth retardation presented with unexplained persistent tachypnea and hypoxemia associated with severe failure to thrive,
Although dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is often caused by viral infections, it frequently involves autoimmune mechanisms associated with particular HLA-DR and DQ alleles. Our homozygous HLA-DQ8Ab(0) transgenic mice in the BALB/c background (HLA-DQ8(BALB/c)-Tg) developed early and progressive fatal
For over 15 years, upper respiratory tract obstruction due to adenotonsillar hypertrophy has been known to cause hypoxia, hypercapnia, increased pulmonary vascular resistance and thereby cor pulmonale and congestive heart failure. This is now an uncommon but not rare entity and three recent cases
Extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection has been proposed as a rational alternative to the lateral intra-atrial tunnel for complex congenital cyanotic heart diseases undergoing univentricular repair. In five patients, aged 4 1/2 years to 27 years, an extracardiac lateral conduit was used for
A 62-year-old female suspected of malignant disease underwent a splenectomy that revealed noncaseating granulomas in the histological specimen. Chest X-ray (CXR) and lung CT scans suggested sarcoidosis stage II. TBLB showed noncaseating granulomas. A diagnosis of sarcoidosis was made. Initially no
