Emergence of highly profibrotic and proinflammatory Lrat+Fbln2+ HSC subpopulation in alcoholic hepatitis

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Lrat+ quiescent hepatic stellate cells (qHSC) give rise to Lrat+Fbln2+ activated HSC (aHSC) in alcohol‐associated hepatitis and this subpopulation is highly profibrotic, inflammatory, and immunoregulatory based on their single cell transcriptomic profile. Abstract Background and Aims Relative roles of HSCs and portal fibroblasts in alcoholic hepatitis (

Current diagnosis of occult or cryptic hepatitis B [PDF]

open access: yesEinstein (São Paulo), 2005
The present article presents a kind of hepatitis B in patients whodo not have the surface antigen (HbsAg) detectable in sera. It hasbeen described in different parts of the world and is known todayas “occult or criptic hepatitis B” and its importance has

Baseline quantitative HBcAb strongly predicts undetectable HBV DNA and RNA in chronic hepatitis B patients treated with entecavir for 10 years

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The predictive effect of quantitative anti-hepatitis B core on double-negative HBV DNA and RNA remains unstudied. We observed dynamic changes in this measure in chronic hepatitis B patients receiving entecavir for 10 years, evaluating its predictive ...

Atopological Model for Hepatitis B Surface Antigen

open access: yesIntervirology, 1992
A model of hepatitis B surface antigen has been derived, based on extensive sequence analysis and biochemical data. The surface antigen sequences of the human, woodchuck, ground squirrel and duck hepadnaviruses were examined using hydrophobicity, hydrophobic moments, flexibility and secondary structure prediction.
