Bleomycin-Induced Subcutaneous Fibrosis and Autologous Fat Graft Remodeling Assessed by Ultrasonography in a Rat Experimental Model [PDF]

Bioengineering
Radiation-associated soft tissue fibrosis represents a progressive structural remodeling process characterized by extracellular matrix accumulation, septal thickening, and reduced tissue compliance, which complicates reconstructive interventions ...

Effect of interferon-alpha on experimental septal fibrosis of the liver - study with a new model [PDF]

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2001
Interferon-alpha is used in antiviral therapy in humans, mainly for viral hepatitis B and C. An anti-fibrotic effect of interferon has been postulated even in the absence of anti-viral response, which suggests that interferon directly inhibits ...

Progressive Right Ventricular Obstruction Caused by a Double-Chambered Right Ventricle Resulting in Shunt-Reversal via a Concomitant Congenital Ventricular Septal Defect and Subsequent Erythrocytosis in a Dog

Veterinary Sciences, 2023
A 3-year-old Chihuahua was presented because of exercise intolerance, respiratory distress, and syncopal episodes. At the age of 10 weeks, the dog was diagnosed with a congenital small left-to-right shunting ventricular septal defect and a mild right ...

Comparison of typical and atypical computed tomography patterns regarding reversibility and fibrosis in pulmonary sarcoidosis

Annals of Thoracic Medicine, 2021
PURPOSE: This study aims to investigate whether there is a significant difference between typical and atypical parenchymal patterns in the development of fibrosis, which is the most crucial factor affecting morbidity in pulmonary sarcoidosis. METHODS: In

Pathogenesis of hepatic septal fibrosis associated with Capillaria hepatica infection of rats Patogenia da fibrose septal hepática associada com a infecção por Capillaria hepatica em ratos

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2001
Septal fibrosis is a common form of hepatic fibrosis, but its etiology and pathogenesis are poorly understood. Rats infected with the helminth Capillaria hepatica constitute a good experimental model of such fibrosis.

Regression of fibrosis and reversal of cirrhosis in rats by galectin inhibitors in thioacetamide-induced liver disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Galectin-3 protein is critical to the development of liver fibrosis because galectin-3 null mice have attenuated fibrosis after liver injury. Therefore, we examined the ability of novel complex carbohydrate galectin inhibitors to treat toxin-induced ...

Experimental hepatic fibrosis due to Capillaria hepatica infection (differential features presented by rats and mice)

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2004
Rats and mice are among the most susceptible hosts for the helminth Capillaria hepatica. More information on the similarities and differences between the hepatic pathology presented by these two parasite hosts are needed, since they may represent good ...

Evaluation of diastolic dysfunction in children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and its relationship with development of myocardial fibrosis

The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2023
Background Patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy may develop symptoms of shortness of breathing due to diastolic dysfunction which is not related to the severity of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
