background immunomodulators and nucleotide analogues have been used globally for the dealing of chronic hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection. however, the development of drug resistance is a major limitation to their long-term effectiveness. objectives the aim of this study was to characterize the hepatitis b virus reverse transcriptase (rt) protein variations among iranian chronic hbv carriers wh...

conclusions this study demonstrated the detection of hcv-specific ifn-γ responses in hcv antibody and rna negative individuals, with a tendency for hcv-specific ifn-γ responses to be associated with hcv exposure. the potential role of hcv-specific ifn-γ responses in those who remained hcv rna negative is of value for the development of novel hcv therapeutics. objectives in a cohort of hcv antib...

Mitochondrial injury contributes to severe drug-induced liver injury. Particularly, mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) is thought be relevant cytolytic hepatitis. However, the mechanism of MPT unclear and prediction not adequately evaluated in preclinical stage. In a previous study, we found that troglitazone, drug withdrawn due injury, induced via mild depolarization probably resultin...
