Abstract
Abstract
We also studied progression of fibrosis in relation to rs12979860 C/T genotypes over two years.
82% of the patients were on HAART (74% without detectable HI viremia) and 67% were haemophiliacs, respectively. HCV genotype 1 was present in 62%. Cross-sectional median liver stiffness wa...

Abstract
An alert system in a hospital information system (HIS) would be helpful for physicians to prescribe medication appropriately. In this study we developed an alert system that extracts target problems from the raw data and verifies whether contraindicated medication is prescribed.

Abstract
Unbalanced Th1/Th2 T-cell responses in the liver are a characteristic of hepatic inflammation and subsequent liver fibrosis. The recently discovered Th17 cells, a subtype of CD4(+) T-helper cells mainly producing IL-17 and IL-22, have initially been linked to host defense against inf...

Abstract
This study investigated the time course of heme oxygenase (HO)-1 expression and the role of endogenous HO-1 in hepatic ischemia and reperfusion (I/R). Rats were pretreated with hemin, an HO-1 inducer, and zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP), an HO-1 inhibitor. Hepatic HO activity increased at...

Abstract
Liver disease is the fifth commonest cause of death in the UK. Observational and case-controlled studies have suggested that coffee is beneficial in liver disease, but this evidence has yet to be evaluated or placed into the context of the natural history of liver disease.

Abstract
Hepatocyte injury is ubiquitous in clinical practice, and the mode of cell death associated with this injury is often apoptosis, especially by death receptors. Information from experimental systems demonstrates that hepatocyte apoptosis is sufficient to cause liver hepatic fibrogenesis. The mechanis...
