Possible mechanisms involved in the discrepancy of hepatic and aortic endothelial nitric oxide synthases during the development of cirrhosis in rats.

25 Nov 2009 BACKGROUND/AIM: In cirrhosis, systemic nitric oxide (NO) overproduction and hepatic NO hypoproduction lead to arterial vasodilatation and portal hypertension. The mechanisms involved in these alterations in endothelial NO synthase (eNOS)-derived NO ... Read more...

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...

Natural history of compensated hepatitis C virus-related cirrhosis in HIV-infected patients.

13 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To provide information about the incidence and predictors of liver decompensation and death due to liver failure in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients with compensated hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related cirrhosis. METHODS: ... Read more...
