As this fibrotic tissue builds up, it starts to compress the central veins and sinusoids.

堆起的纤维组织会挤压中央静脉和血窦。

But due to the periodic nature of sinusoids, these waves of different frequencies overlap in a predictable way.

但由于正弦曲线的周期性，这些不同频率的波以可预测的方式重叠。

Well fibrosis is a process mediated by special cells called stellate cells, that sit between the sinusoid and hepatocyte, known as the perisinusoidal space.

纤维化的过程是由星形胞调控的；星形胞位于血窦和肝胞之间，即窦周间隙。

Frequently affected organs include the liver, where the bacterial toxins damage liver sinusoids and hepatocytes, causing bilirubin to spill into the bloodstream - which clinically translates as jaundice.

肝脏是常见的受累器官，菌释放的毒素破坏肝窦及肝胞，导致胆红素释放入血，临床上表现为黄疸。

As the central veins and sinusoids become compressed and push on the fluid inside, their pressure starts to build up, leading to intrasinusoidal (or portal) hypertension, which is this higher pressure in the portal veins.

中央静脉和血窦的受压导致它们中间的体也受到挤压，导致门静脉高压，即门静脉的压力升高。

Here's a pretty basic layout of the basic functional unit of the liver, you've got the portal vein and hepatic artery that combine into a sinusoid, which then goes into the central vein, and these are all lined with hepatocytes.

这是个肝脏基本功能单位的简单示意图，你可以看到由门静脉和肝动脉来的血血窦汇集，然后流入中央静脉，这些都与干胞相平行。
