Abstract

In the present study, hepatic venous distribution per unit of liver surface area on normal wedge biopsies from man (n = 11) and baboon (n = 8) were analysed and compared. Terminal hepatic veins (THV - man: n = 100; baboon: n = 200) morphometric size variables were obtained with a Leitz ASM 68K morphometric equipment. THV, defined as hepatic veins up to 150 microns in internal diameter (ID), in the centrolobular position and with sinusoidal openings, represented 84% and 74% of hepatic veins of man and baboon, respectively. Four or more THV were generally found on 8 mm2 of liver surface. Transversely sectioned THV selected by the ratio IDminimum/IDmaximum greater than 0.67, was found to be only 25% of the total THV. In baboon, THV merge with other terminal veins and the interlobular veins present sinusoidal inlets. The baboon THV wall surface (WS) and wall thickness (WT) values were higher than in man. Positive correlations between the number of mesenchymal cells (Mc) in the vein wall and wall surface of terminal hepatic veins (man: r = 0.79; baboon: r = 0.83) and between wall surface and internal surface (IS) (man: r = 0.80; baboon: r = 0.72) were found. Two ratios were selected as the most reliable parameters: (1) for the THV w...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
