Resumen
El carcinoma hepatocelular (HCC) es una complicación fatal de la enfermedad hepática, pero sus principales causas, la hepatitis B y C, son prevenibles. La vacunación y las técnicas médicas mejoradas pueden interrumpir la transmisión viral, ofreciendo esperanza para reducir la incidencia de cáncer de hígado.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Hepatología Hepatología.
- Oncología Viral Oncología viral.
- Salud Pública La salud pública.
Sus antecedentes:
- El carcinoma hepatocelular (HCC) es una complicación terminal de la enfermedad hepática crónica.
- Los tratamientos actuales para el CHC son en gran medida paliativos, con rara supervivencia a largo plazo.
- Las causas globales primarias de CHC son las infecciones virales conocidas y prevenibles.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para resaltar la naturaleza prevenible de las principales causas de carcinoma hepatocelular.
- Para enfatizar la importancia de interrumpir la transmisión del virus de la hepatitis B y C.
- Discutir las estrategias actuales para prevenir el cáncer de hígado relacionado con la hepatitis viral.
Principales métodos:
- Revisión de los datos epidemiológicos mundiales sobre el carcinoma hepatocelular.
- Análisis de la dinámica de transmisión del virus de la hepatitis B y C.
- Evaluación de las intervenciones de salud pública para la prevención de la hepatitis viral.
Principales resultados:
- Los virus de la hepatitis B y C son exclusivamente patógenos humanos sin reservas no humanas.
- La infección por el virus de la hepatitis B puede prevenirse mediante la vacunación.
- Las mejoras en las técnicas médicas pueden reducir la transmisión de la hepatitis C, aunque todavía no hay una vacuna disponible.
Conclusiones:
- La incidencia del carcinoma hepatocelular puede reducirse significativamente mediante la prevención de las infecciones por hepatitis B y C.
- La vacunación contra la hepatitis B es una estrategia clave para la prevención del CHC.
- Los avances continuos en las prácticas médicas son cruciales para controlar la hepatitis C y mitigar su papel en el desarrollo del cáncer de hígado.

01:23Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells
After cellular or tissue damage, the resident stem cells present in the human body can locally repair and regenerate the damaged tissue or organ. However, even though some tissues do not have stem cells, they can repair and regenerate with the help of pre-existing cells. For example, beta cells of the pancreas and hepatocytes of the liver can divide to renew and regenerate the tissue. Here, both cell division and cell death are well regulated by homeostasis.

01:24Liver Regeneration
The liver is an important organ in vertebrates that plays an essential role in metabolism. It is also responsible for storing and redistributing nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins in the body. Additionally, the liver releases bile salts which are critical for digesting food and eliminating toxic metabolites from the body.

The liver comprises four major types of cells— hepatocytes, stellate, Kupffer, and sinusoidal endothelial cells. The hepatocytes are large...

01:27Liver Histology
The microscopic anatomy of the liver is a complex and intricate system that comprises numerous structural units known as liver lobules, each of which is comparable in size to a sesame seed. These hexagonal structures consist of plates of liver cells or hepatocytes, which are characterized by their versatility and abundance of cellular apparatus like rough and smooth ER, Golgi apparatus, peroxisomes, and mitochondria.

01:25Hepatitis
Hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver most commonly caused by hepatotropic viruses (A–E), though non-infectious causes such as alcohol and drugs also exist.Hepatitis AHepatitis A virus (HAV) is a non-enveloped RNA virus of the Picornaviridae family. It is primarily transmitted via the fecal-oral route, typically through ingestion of contaminated food or water. After ingestion, HAV enters the bloodstream through the oropharynx or intestinal epithelium and reaches the liver. The...
01:23Cirrhosis I: Introduction
Cirrhosis is a chronic, irreversible liver disease characterized by the widespread replacement of healthy liver tissue with fibrotic scar tissue and the formation of regenerative nodules.Etiology of cirrhosisCirrhosis results from sustained liver injury that triggers progressive fibrosis and structural remodeling. The underlying causes are diverse, encompassing common and less frequent clinical conditions. Regardless of the origin, all causes lead to chronic inflammation, hepatocyte loss, and...
01:24Cirrhosis II: Pathophysiology
Cirrhosis is a progressive chronic liver injury caused by prolonged inflammation, excessive fibrotic remodeling, and impaired regeneration. Over time, repeated hepatic insults disrupt the liver’s architecture and function, leading to reduced blood flow, impaired bile drainage, and diminished metabolic capacity.Pathophysiology of cirrhosisCirrhosis arises from three main responses to chronic liver damage: inflammation, immune activation, and hepatocyte death. These processes lead to structural...
