Hepatoma cell density promotes claudin-1 and scavenger receptor BI expression and hepatitis C virus internalization. [PDF]
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry occurs via a pH- and clathrin-dependent endocytic pathway and requires a number of cellular factors, including CD81, the tight-junction proteins claudin 1 (CLDN1) and occludin, and scavenger receptor class B member I (SR-BI).

Refractory Hepatic Hydrothorax in Chronic Hepatitis C Controlled by Direct-acting Antivirals
Hepatic hydrothorax is a transudative pleural effusion that complicates advanced liver cirrhosis. Patients refractory to medical treatment plus salt restriction and diuretics are considered to have refractory hepatic hydrothorax and may require ...

Treatment of anicteric acute hepatitis C with peginterferon alpha-2a plus ribavirin [PDF]
Background. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the most frequent cause of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma in the world. Acute hepatitis C is the most commonly asymptomatic liver disease with the development of chronic HCV ...

Including osteoprotegerin and collagen IV in a score-based blood test for liver fibrosis increases diagnostic accuracy [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Noninvasive methods for liver fibrosis evaluation in chronic liver diseases have been recently developed, i.e. transient elastography (Fibroscan™) and blood tests (Fibrometer®, Fibrotest®, and Hepascore®).

Characterization of nonprimate hepacivirus and construction of a functional molecular clone [PDF]
Significance The origin of hepatitis C virus (HCV) has long remained a mystery. Unexpectedly, a plethora of HCV-related hepaciviruses was recently discovered in horses, monkeys, rodents, and bats. These discoveries are of particular interest and may aid in understanding HCV evolution, molecular biology, and natural history.

Therapy of chronic hepatitis C: Virologic response monitoring [PDF]
Background/Aim. Virological testing is considered to be essential in the management of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in order to diagnose infection, and, most importantly, as a quide for treatment decisions and assess the virological response to ...
