conclusions erα expression in liver was inversely correlated with liver fibrosis among patients infected with chronic hcv genotype 1b. patients and methods all the consecutive patients who received the same standard treatment protocol for hcv genotype 1b were subdivided into two subgroups according to their fibrosis scores as fibrotic stages < 2 in mild fibrosis group and fibrotic stages ≥ 2 in...

Abstract A first hydrostatic core (FHC) is proposed to form after the initial collapse of a prestellar core, as seed Class 0 protostar. FHCs are difficult observe because they small, compact, embedded, and short lived. In this work, we explored physical properties two well-known FHC candidates, B1-bN B1-bS, by comparing interferometric data from Submillimeter Array (SMA) 1.1 1.3 mm Atacama Larg...

Teaching point: Extrahepatic portosystemic shunt is a rare congenital condition, associated with other anomalies, for which prompt radiological diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent complications.

Background: DNA immunization is an appropriate method to produce an immunological response. Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces exotoxin A which is highly cytotoxic for eukaryotic cells. Since domains II (translocation domain) and 1b of the toxin have antigenic qualities, so they could be  useful candidates to protect against pseudomonas infections. Objectives: To evaluate if recombinant plasmid co...
