Simultaneous absolute protein quantification of carboxylesterases 1 and 2 in human liver tissue fractions using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry The aims of this study were to develop a robust method for simultaneous quantification of carboxylesterases (CESs) 1 and 2 and to quantify those ...
Liver tissue was fragmented in 24.7% of cases performed with the Cook system and 14 % with the Patel system (P=0.1 [NS ] ). The Cook system yielded 58 (50%) TLB that were good for staging and the Patel system 45 (58.4%) (P= 0.3 [NS ] ). The mean number of CPT per TLB ...

Comparisons of TSL and CPT among the 3 groups were done with Wilcoxon rank sum tests. Results Wilcoxon rank sum tests indicated that EUS-LB of both liver regions produced significantly more tissue in terms of both TSL and CPTs compared with a PC-LB (P聽= .0000 and .0006). EUS-LB ...
According to recent literature, specimens with [greater-or-equal, slanted]6 complete portal tracts (CPTs) are needed for histological diagnosis of chronic liver disease but [greater-or-equal, slanted]11 CPTs to reliably stage and grade. Mean CPT number in PLB series is 7.5; more passes ...
IntroductionLiver biopsy (LB) remains central to the diagnosis and accurate staging of liver disease. It is, however, an invasive procedure with recognised morbidity and mortality. It is imperative that biopsy samples are adequate for histological assessment.The guidelines vary considerably with regard ...
Variability in individual capacity for hepatic elimination of therapeutic drugs is well recognized and is associated with variable expression and activity of liver enzymes and transporters. Although genotyping offers some degree of stratification, there is often large variability within the same genotype. ...
