Mesenchymal stem cells: A novel treatment option for primary sclerosing cholangitis

Cell Biology International, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 467-479, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a progressive liver disease for which there is no effective therapy. Hepatocytes and cholangiocytes from a PSC patient were cocultured with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to assess in vitro change. A single patient with progressive PSC was treated with 150 million MSCs via direct injection into the common

Silymarin retards collagen accumulation in early and advanced biliary fibrosis secondary to complete bile duct obliteration in rats

Hepatology, 1997
Silymarin (SIL), a standardized plant extract containing about 60% polyphenole silibinin, is used as a hepatoprotective agent. Its antifibrotic potential in chronic liver diseases has not been explored. Therefore, we applied SIL to adult Wistar rats that

Histone Deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) in Ciliopathies: Emerging Insights and Therapeutic Implications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
HDAC6 regulates primary cilia, crucial for cellular signalling and environmental responses. Dysregulation of HDAC6 contributes to ciliopathies, affecting multiple organs. This review examines HDAC6's role in ciliogenesis, its interaction with signaling molecules, and its potential as a therapeutic target.

Six Rare Biliary Tract Anatomic Variations: Implications for Liver Surgery

Eurasian Journal of Medicine, 2011
Objective: The variations in the anatomy of the biliary tract need to be recognized in modern liver surgery. The purpose of this clinical and anatomical study is to describe several novel biliary tract variations and to outline their practical importance

Biochemical research of hepatoprotective activity of Lavaflam tablets in rats with subchronic hepatitis

Current Issues in Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, 2020
Liver damage is a common problem all over the world. To optimize the drug provision in the limited financing of the Health Care System, it is necessary to develop new drugs with hepatoprotective properties that are highly effective and of low cost.

Snare-assisted precutting and dual-knife fistulotomy performed during difficult biliary cannulation in a patient with an ectopic papilla of Vater

Journal of International Medical Research, 2021
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatobiliary diseases; however, successful biliary cannulation is a prerequisite for this operation.

Probabilistic self-learning framework for Low-dose CT Denoising [PDF]

, 2020
Despite the indispensable role of X-ray computed tomography (CT) in diagnostic medicine field, the associated ionizing radiation is still a major concern considering that it may cause genetic and cancerous diseases. Decreasing the exposure can reduce the dose and hence the radiation-related risk, but will also induce higher quantum noise.

Hepatocyte growth factor attenuates liver fibrosis induced by bile duct ligation.

American Journal of Pathology, 2006
Hepatic fibrosis is a common outcome of a variety of chronic liver diseases. Here we evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) on liver fibrosis induced by bile duct ligation (BDL) and investigated potential mechanisms.

A Compound Screen Based on Isogenic hESC‐Derived β Cell Reveals an Inhibitor Targeting ZnT8‐Mediated Zinc Transportation to Protect Pancreatic β Cell from Stress‐Induced Cell Death

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Pancreatic β cell loss by cellular stress contributes to diabetes pathogenesis. The study demonstrates that WFS1–ZnT8–zinc axis regulates vicious cycle of zinc transportation and cellular stress in pancreatic β cell. Based on that, the study applies a strategy for compound screening targeting ZnT8 based on human models, and identifies anisomycin, as a ...
