conclusions cd5l might be a useful biomarker for early diagnosis of hcc in hcv cirrhotic patients. lrg and hp α2 isoforms could be potential markers for distinguishing viral hcc. our results also further support the presence of varying molecules involved in hepatocarcinogenesis in hbv when compared with hcv infection. patients and methods two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis combi...

conclusions hbv and hcv are important culprits of hcc in emro countries and the middle east and different nations need different strategies to tackle them accordingly. countries with high rates of hbv such as turkey should continue their hbv vaccination and also increase sanitation. nations with high hcv rates such as egypt should maintain their blood product monitoring in addition to increased...

Due to multiple hospitalization and blood transfusion, thalassaemic patients are at higher risk of this infection. Duration of the immunity after vaccination in this high-risk group and the need for booster vaccination is uncertain. The aim of this study was to find antibody titration and immunity to Hepat...

transfusion-transmissible infections such as hepatitis b and hepatitis c are among the greatest threats to blood safety for transfusion recipients and pose a serious public health problem. the aim of this study was to assess the epidemiological aspects of hepatitis b and c in kazakhstani donor's blood over the period 2000-2011.the data were obtained from the annual reports of the republican blo...

Vitamin D deficiency is associated with several adverse health outcomes, and vitamin D appears to have systemic antimicrobial effects that may be crucial in a variety of both acute and chronic illnesses. In the present study, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) levels were compared among patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection, naturally immunized individuals and control individuals. Thirty-...

BACKGROUND Oxidative stress can be defined as an increase in oxidants and/or a decrease in antioxidant capacity. There is limited information about the oxidative status in subjects with hepatitis B virus infection. We aimed to evaluate the oxidative status in patients with various clinical forms of chronic hepatitis B infection. METHODS Seventy-six patients with hepatitis B virus infection, i...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) are the two most common blood borne, hepatotrophic viruses. HBV and HCV are important causes of liver related mortality and morbidity. Hepatitis B and hepatitis C are significant public health problems especially in developing countries like India. Hepatitis B was first reported in 1963 and hepatitis C in 1988 (Blumberg, 1997; Bonkovski et al....

Background: Hepatitis B virus is known as one of the most common pathogen in the world. 350 million people are chronic carrier in the world and more than 3/4 hepatitis B virus infection are in Middle East and Africa. Various statistics of this infection has been reported in Iran. Since vaccination plan of 1989 born not only in Zabol but through Iran, will be performed and there is no exact info...

INTRODUCTION Acute hepatitis E virus infection may cause mild, self-limiting hepatitis, either as epidemic outbreaks or sporadic cases, the latter of which have been reported in industrialized countries. Chronic infections are uncommon and have been reported in immunosuppressed patients, patients with human immunodeficiency virus infection, and patients with hematological malignancies. CASE P...
