Monitoring fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) is an important management strategy. We have already reported a novel stacked microvascular imaging (SMVI) technique and an examiner scoring evaluation method to improve fibrosis assessment accuracy and demonstrate its high sensitivity. In...
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the feasibility of this method to assess the severity of liver fibrosis and the reversal after the fibrotic stimulus withdrawal. METHODS: Liver fibrosis of different stages was induced by thioacetamide (TAA) injection for 2, 4 and 6weeks (n=6 for each ...
It remains unknown whether liver fibrosis stage influences the CHF risk or if HIV or hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection modifies this association. Our objectives were to assess whether 1) stage of liver fibrosis is independently associated with incident CHF and 2) the association between stage of...

The active efflux of potassium changes its cellular concentrations with a subsequent passive shift of chloride regulated by CFTR, the gene affected in patients with cystic fibrosis. Transport of these ions causes the flow of water in and out of cells, thereby regulating cell volume, which is ...
liver fibrosis.The HVAT,VAT,VVT decreased with increase of liver fibrosis(P0.05).HVAT,VAT,VVT correlated negatively with the development of fibrosis(P0.01).The correlation coefficient of VVT was highest(r=-0.88).Conclusion HVAT,VAT,VVT are closely associated with the stage of liver fibrosis,...

1 There is an association between liver fibrosis and incident heart failure (HF).2 The mechanisms for this association, currently unclear, may be of particular importance for people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and/or hepatitis C, both of which are chronic infections with ...
[67]. Additionally, it was demonstrated that liver fibrosis was reduced in an animal model that received transplants of human FLPs and that the majority of the human hepatocytes still present in the mouse livers were from proliferation rather than the original transplant [68]. In an immuno...
2. Fig. 2. Pathological mechanisms of CKD-to-ESRD progression. Full size image One of the most important factors in the development of renal pathology is inflammation [15, 17, 18]. ESRD can also accompany glomerulosclerosis, tubulointerstitial fibrosis, and atrophy [15, 19]. Finally, ESRD is...
