conclusions patients with chronic hepatitis c and with a ciscun ≤ 1 had a very low rate of cirrhosis while those with a ciscun = 4 had a high risk of cirrhosis. patients with ciscun = 2 or 3 had an intermediate rate of cirrhosis, and therefore needed to perform a liver biopsy to receive a reliable diagnosis. results we enrolled 249 patients who had complete laboratoristic data, and sufficient l...

Delayed clearance of hepatitis B surface antigen was previously reported in a 38 year old woman after high dose chemotherapy with autologous peripheral blood stem cell rescue. Sixteen months later, this patient remained hepatitis B surface antigen negative, hepatitis B surface antibody positive, and serum hepatitis B DNA negative by polymerase chain reaction. Serial liver biopsies (one at hepat...

BACKGROUND Different factors are responsible for the progression of hepatic fibrosis in chronic infection with hepatitis C virus, but the role of nutritional factors in the progression of the disease is not clearly defined. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional status and dietary profile among patients with chronic hepatitis C who were candidates for treatment and its association with hi...

in this study response surface methodology was used to optimize process conditions and to evaluate the effect of ultrasound on quality attributes (antioxidant activity, ph, total soluble solid, turbidity) and the inactivation of escherichia coli bacteria in carrot juice. independent variables in this study were temperature (25-50°c), time (20-40 min) and frequency (0-130 khz). in this study the...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency causes accumulation of mutant alpha-1 antitrypsin molecules in hepatocytes, and is attributed to severe liver injury even in heterozygous state. However, there is a question as to whether alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is only a cause of liver injury or has a worsening effect on the underlying liver disease. We aimed to determine the role of alpha-...
