Pathological characteristics of liver biopsies in eight patients with hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma.

We aim to investigate the pathological characteristics of liver biopsies and their implications for the prognosis of hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE). Clinical data of eight patients (5 male, 3 female) with HEHE were analyzed retrospectively. Expression of CD34, FVIII, AE1/AE3, Hepa-par1, GPC3, CK19 and the proliferation index marker Ki-67 were determined by immunohistochemical staining.

[A retrospective study of clinical and pathological spectrum in 91 patients with chronic severe hepatitis B].

Objective: In China, liver failure is also termed as severe hepatitis in whom chronic severe hepatitis B (CSHB) is most common. The aim of this study was to assess whether CSHB based on different liver injury extent can meet the international definition of acute-on-chronic liver failure(ACLF)criteria, according by their clinical and pathological feature.

Methods: A total of 91 patients with CSHB were involved in the study.

[Histopathological changes in livers of patients with chronic severe hepatitis B].

Objective: To investigate the histopathological features in livers of chronic severe hepatitis B (CSHB) patients.

Methods: Histology of 42 livers was studied. HE, Masson, Sweet and D-PAS staining and cytokeratin 7, CD68 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen immuno-histochemical staining were used in the study.
