25. Depression rather than liver impairment reduces quality of life in patients with hepatitis C
Objective: Patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) have a poorer quality of life than those with other chronic liver diseases. However, some of the factors that determine health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in these patients, such as the degree of liver fibrosis, are still controversial. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the impa

26. Coffee has hepatoprotective benefits in Brazilian patients with chronic hepatitis C even in lower daily consumption than in American and European populations
The potential role of coffee as a hepatoprotective substance for chronic liver diseases has been widely discussed. Our main aim was to evaluate the effect of coffee intake regarding clinical, biochemical tests and liver biopsy data in treatment naïve patients with chronic hepatitis C. One hundred and thirty-six patients with chronic hepatitis C, diagnosed t

27. Histone demethylase retinoblastoma binding protein 2 regulates the expression of α-smooth muscle actin and vimentin in cirrhotic livers
Liver cirrhosis is one of the most common diseases of Chinese patients. Herein, we report the high expression of a newly identified histone 3 lysine 4 demethylase, retinoblastoma binding protein 2 (RBP2), and its role in liver cirrhosis in humans. The siRNA knockdown of RBP2 expression in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) reduced levels of α-smooth muscle actin

29. Strong correlation by ultrasonography of hepatomegaly and the presence of co-infection in HIV/HCV cirrhotic patients
OBJECTIVES: Progression of hepatic fibrosis is accelerated in patients co-infected with human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis C virus compared to hepatitis C virus mono-infected patients. This study aimed to compare ultrasound features and selected clinical and biochemical variables between patients with human immunodeficiency virus/hepatitis C virus co

30. Efeito do Ácido Gálico sobre a fibrogênese hepática murina / Effect of Gallic Acid in murine hepatic fibrogenesis
The fibrogenic processes activate by mechanisms such as oxidative stress can lead to a picture of liver cirrhosis, which represents a major cause of death in West. However, in some studies, phenolic substances, such as Gallic Acid (GA) shown to inhibit and even regress theses processes. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the phenolic com

31. Indicadores laboratoriais e ultrassonográficos preditivos de varizes esofágicas em crianças e adolescentes com hepatopatia crônica e obstrução extra-hepática da veia porta / Laboratory and ultrasonographic predictors of esophageal varices in children and adolescents with chronic liver disease and extra-hepatic portal vein obstruction
Objetivo: Identificar preditores não invasivos de varizes esofágicas em crianças e adolescentes com hepatopatia crônica e obstrução extra-hepática da veia porta (OEHVP). Casuística e métodos: Estudo prospectivo que incluiu 53 crianças e adolescentes com hepatopatia crônica ou OEHVP, sem antecedente de hemorragia digestiva ou tratamento de varizes

32. Wilson's disease: an analysis of 28 Brazilian children
OBJECTIVES: Clinical-laboratory and evolutionary analysis of twenty-eight patients with Wilson's disease. METHODS: Twenty-eight children (twelve females and sixteen males) with Wilson's disease were evaluated retrospectively between 1987 and 2009, with a follow-up of 72 months (1 - 240 months). The clinical, laboratory, and histologic features at diagnosis w

33. The presence of Helicobacter pylori in the liver depends on the Th1, Th17 and Treg cytokine profile of the patient
The hypothesis that Helicobactermight be a risk factor for human liver diseases has arisen after the detection of Helicobacter DNA in hepatic tissue of patients with hepatobiliary diseases. Nevertheless, no explanation that justifies the presence of the bacterium in the human liver has been proposed. We evaluated the presence of Helicobacterin the liver of p

34. Long-term follow-up of patients with chronic hepatitis C with sustained virologic response to interferon
BACKGROUND AND AIM: The durability of the sustained virologic response (SVR) in patients with chronic hepatitis C after treatment and the ideal follow-up time for these patients remains undefined. The objective of the study was to evaluate the durability of the virologic response in patients with chronic hepatitis C followed up for at least 12 months after S

35. Potentiation of carbon tetrachloride hepatotoxicity by pentosan polysulfate in rats
Few data are available in the literature regarding the effect of pentosan polysulfate (PPS) on normal and fibrotic rat livers. In addition, the combination of PPS and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) has not been studied so far. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of PPS on rat livers treated or not with CCl4 for the induction of liver fibrosis.
