APRI Index Changes After 4 Weeks Treatment of Pentoxifylline in Chronic Hepatitis B [PDF]
Nowadays studies have shown that liver fibrosis is a reversible process. Theraupetic target on hepatic stellate cell (HSC) through inhibition of fibrotic signaling transduction is one of the way to treat liver fibrosis (e.g. pentoxifylline).

Bicarbonate is required for migration of sperm epididymal protein DE/CRISP-1 to the equatorial segment and expression of rat sperm fusion ability [PDF]
Numerous studies have demonstrated that sperm capacitation is a bicarbonate-dependent process. In the rat, capacitation has not been studied as much as in other species, mainly because of the difficulties in carrying out functional assays with this ...

Photoelectrochemical Iron(III) Catalysis for Late‐Stage C─H Fluoroalkylations
Efficient electrophotochemical C─H fluoroalkylation of complex bioactive substrates with abundant fluoroalkyl carboxylic acids employing an inexpensive iron(III) catalyst accompanied by hydrogen evolution reaction has been developed. Abstract Chemo‐ and site‐selective functionalization of complex molecules poses a fundamental challenge.

Abstract The immune system has long been recognized as a key driver in the progression of heart failure (HF). However, clinical trials targeting immune effectors have consistently failed to improve patient outcome across different HF aetiologies. The activation of the immune system in HF is complex, involving a broad network of pro‐inflammatory and ...
