Eosinophils and their secretory proteins are important in necroinflammatory processes. In this study we surveyed eosinophilic infiltration of the liver in 176 liver biopsy specimens from patients with primary biliary cirrhosis. A considerable number of eosinophils were found in the portal tracts in

To evaluate serum hyaluronate as a marker for progressive liver injury in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis, a longitudinal study including 48 patients was conducted with a mean follow-up time of 40 months. The patients were examined every 6 months with a standardized set of conventional liver
A major enigma of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is the selective targeting of biliary cells. Our laboratory has reported that after apoptosis, human intrahepatic biliary epithelial cells (HiBECs) translocate the E2 subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex immunologically intact into apoptotic
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is an autoimmune disease of unknown etiology, often associated with other autoimmune conditions. Controlled studies have so far provided conflicting data on risk factors and comorbidity rates in PBC. We enrolled patients with PBC (n = 1032) from 23 tertiary referral c
The recent epidemiology and outcomes of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) in North America are incompletely described, partly due to difficulties in case ascertainment. In light of their availability, broad coverage, and limited expense, administrative databases may facilitate such investigations. We
