conclusions hiv/hcv co-infection is an important medical problem in north-eastern poland. a history of incarceration and younger age at hiv diagnosis were additional to idu risk factors for hcv seropositivity in this cohort. patients and methods adult hiv-1 infected patients, with at least one antihcv result, treated in one of polish hiv/aids reference centers, participated in this cross-sectio...

This report from the Australian Rotavirus Surveillance Program, together with collaborating laboratories Australia-wide, describes the rotavirus genotypes responsible for the hospitalisation of children with acute gastroenteritis during the period 1 January to 31 December 2013. During the survey period, 1,035 faecal samples were referred for rotavirus G and P genotype analysis. Of these 828 wer...

conclusions the majority of hiv-infected persons in the city of kashan were also hcv positive. genotype 1 was the predominant type, alongside subtype a. considering the high prevalence of hcv among the hiv-infected persons, as well as the impact of occupation, education, illicit drug use, and imprisonment on the incidence of both infections, health policy makers must introduce health programs a...

INTRODUCTION Porphyromonas gingivalis is associated with periodontitis and exhibit a wide array of virulence factors, including fimbriae which is encoded by the FimA gene representing six known genotypes. OBJETIVE To identify FimA genotypes of P. gingivalis in subjects from Cali-Colombia, including the co-infection with Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Treponema denticola, and Tannerell...

Results: The XRCC1 Arg399Gln genotype did not exhibit any significant correlation with the susceptibility of BC (odds ratio [OR]=1.45, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.60-3.51) (p=0.47). Likewise, XRCC3 M241T genotype did not show significant correlation with BC (OR=2.02, 95% CI: 0.50-8.21) (p=0.40). However, distribution of XRCC3-5’UTR (rs1799794 A/G) genotype showed a significant difference be...

To date, methods of studying the effects drugs at molecular-genetic level are widely used in pediatric practice. The aim our work was to evaluate effectiveness effect β2-agonists on clinical course recurrent bronchial obstruction (RBO) children, depending variants polymorphism ADRB2 gene. salbutamol children with RBO and asthma(BA) evaluated distribution alleles genotypes Argl6Gly Gln27Glu gene...

BACKGROUND Previous evidence has shown that the FOXP3 gene was involved in the pathogenesis of several tumors; however, the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the FOXP3 gene and the susceptibility to hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. METHODS We analyzed two SNPs in the FOXP3 gene, rs2280883 and rs3761549, in 392 patients with HCC, 3...

In this study, molecular characterization of Echinococcus granulosus sample obtained from water buffalo originating from southwest of Iran was performed using comparative sequence analysis of cox1 mitochondrial gene. DNA was extracted from protoscoleces removed from hydatid cyst from the liver of a 2-year-old male buffalo slaughtered in Khuzestan province. Molecular and phylog...

BACKGROUND Genotyping of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) and assessment of viral load is important for designing therapeutic strategies and region specific diagnostic assays. OBJECTIVES To determine the distribution of HCV genotypes among patients attending a tertiary care hospital in south India, and to correlate this with viral load. STUDY DESIGN Ninety HCV RNA positive patients were recruite...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system, with a complex etiology that includes a strong genetic component. The chromosome 19q 13 region surrounding the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene has shown consistent evidence of involvement in MS. In a cross-sectional study, to show the APOE genotype and allele frequency in the MS population of Iran in comp...
