Use of existing data for public health planning: a study of the prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen and core antibody in Al Ain Medical District, United Arab Emirates

Bulletin of the World Health Organization, 2000
INTRODUCTION: Hepatitis B is of major public health importance. Accurate information on its occurrence, with particular reference to the prevalence of immunity and chronic infection (marked by the presence of hepatitis B core antibody and surface antigen,

SCREENING OF HEPATITIS G AND EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUSES AMONG VOLUNTARY NON REMUNERATED BLOOD DONORS (VNRBD) IN BURKINA FASO, WEST AFRICA

Mediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases, 2013
In most sub-Saharan countries screening of blood-transmitted infections includes mainly HIV, HBV, HCV and syphilis. Many viruses such as Hepatitis G (HGV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) which also carry a risk of transmission by blood transfusion raise the

SUMOylated DDX3 Promotes HBV Replication and Tumor Growth of Hepatocellular Carcinoma via TRIM28‐DDX3‐KLF4α Signaling Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
TRIM28 binds to DDX3 protein to catalyze the SUMOylation of DDX3 (S‐DDX3), thus the S‐DDX3 involves in aberrant alternative splicing of KLF4 mRNA, and the splicing variant KLF4α‐mediated cell cycle and signal transduction, weakens tumor suppressor function of DDX3 protein, which promotes progression of HBV‐HCC.

Glycoproteins Associated with Hepatitis B Antigen

Intervirology, 1973
The total carbohydrate content of purified hepatitis B antigen (HB Ag) ranged between 3.6 and 6.5% as determined by the phenol-sulfuric acid method. Disc-sodium dodecyl sulfate PAGE of purified HB Ag followed by periodate-Schiff staining revealed one major and two minor glycoproteins with molecular weights of 22,000,27,000 and 32,000 daltons ...

Mac‐2 Binding Protein Glycosylation Isomer (M2BPGi)–Based Risk Stratification Refined by Tumor Metabolic Activity in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
M2BPGi reflects background liver fibrosis and hepatic functional impairment. PET SUVmax reflects tumor metabolic aggressiveness. Their combination identifies a dual‐high subgroup with the poorest recurrence‐free and overall survival. ABSTRACT Aim To evaluate the prognostic significance of preoperative Mac‐2 binding protein glycosylation isomer (M2BPGi)

Preoperative Total Iron‐Binding Capacity Is a Potential Surrogate Marker of Long‐Term Outcomes After Pancreatectomy for Pancreatic Cancer

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Preoperative low serum total iron‐binding capacity (TIBC) was associated with poorer overall survival and recurrence‐free survival after pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer. These findings suggest that preoperative serum TIBC may serve as a simple surrogate marker for long‐term outcomes in patients undergoing pancreatectomy.

Genomic modeling of hepatitis B virus integration frequency in the human genome.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Hepatitis B infection is a world-wide public health burden causing serious liver complications. Previous studies suggest that hepatitis B integration into the human genome plays a crucial role in triggering oncogenic process and may also constitutively ...

Impact of Laparoscopic Liver Resection on Long‐Term Outcomes and Non‐Liver‐Related Mortality in Elderly Patients With Primary Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Multicenter Propensity Score‐Matched Analysis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
In this multicenter, propensity score–matched study of elderly patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma, we compared long‐term cause‐specific mortality between laparoscopic (LLR) and open liver resection (OLR) using a competing‐risks framework. Among patients aged ≥ 80 years, LLR was associated with a lower 5‐year cumulative incidence of death ...

Host genetic factors in hepatitis B infection, liver cancer and vaccination response: a review with a focus on Africa. [PDF]

, 2012
The disease burden due to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains significant; 350 million people are infected world-wide, and around half a million deaths each year are due to HBV-related liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
