background: the association between hepatitis b virus (hbv) mutations and hepatocarcinogenesis were reported in the literature. preference for g over c in the leading dna strand has been reported to account for the asymmetry in nucleotide (nt) composition. the aim of this study was to analyze the complete genome sequence and compositional asymmetry of hbv in different stages of hepatitis b. met...

Objective(s): In this study, we aimed to describe the characteristics of portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT), complicating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in contrast-enhanced FDG PET/CT scan. Methods: In this retrospective study, 9 HCC patients with FDG-avid PVTT were diagnosed by contrast-enhanced fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET/CT), which is a comb...
