Anatomic resection of segment VIII of liver for hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhotic patients based on an intrahepatic Glissonian approach.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Isolated segmentectomy VIII is a technically demanding operative procedure and is reported only rarely. To our knowledge, no reports on anatomic segmentectomy based on an intrahepatic approach have been described. For cirrhotic patients ... Read more...

Variants of CTGF are associated with hepatic fibrosis in Chinese, Sudanese, and Brazilians infected with schistosomes.

10 Oct 2009 Abnormal fibrosis occurs during chronic hepatic inflammations and is the principal cause of death in hepatitis C virus and schistosome infections. Hepatic fibrosis (HF) may develop either slowly or rapidly in schistosome-infected subjects. This ... Read more...

MicroRNA expression, survival, and response to interferon in liver cancer.

6 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma is a common and aggressive cancer that occurs mainly in men. We examined microRNA expression patterns, survival, and response to interferon alfa in both men and women with the disease. METHODS: We analyzed three ... Read more...
