Uridine Diphosphate Glucuronosyl Transferase 1a1 Promoter Polymorphism Is Associated with Choledocholithiasis in Taiwanese Patients

, 2010
Background and aims: The gene product of the uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) is crucial to bilirubin metabolism. Mutations in this gene subsequently result in disease presented with unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia.

Imaging of Abdominal Complications in Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is the most common paediatric malignancy and remains one of the most common causes of cancer‐related death in children and adolescents. Five‐year overall survival rates now exceed 90% with current multidrug chemotherapeutic regimens. This improvement, coupled with the toxicity of chemotherapy, has led to the
