Hepatitis B/C virus co-infection in Iran: A seroepidemiological study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background/aims: As hepatitis B and C virus have the same transmission routes, dual infection may occur. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of HCV in HBsAg-positive subjects.

Insights into the Dynamics and Binding Mechanisms of the Alkhumra Virus NS2B/NS3 Protease: A Molecular Dynamics Study

open access: yesAdvanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.
The ΔRMSF$\Delta {\rm RMSF}$ analysis reveals significant flexibility differences between free NS3 and the NS2B/NS3 complex, with notable deviations in specific regions. Key residues driving NS2B binding are identified, and the protonation state of catalytic serine affects oxyanion hole formation.

Influence of hepatitis G virus infection on liver disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The influence of hepatitis G virus (HGV) infection on disease activity in hepatitis C related and unrelated liver disease was investigated in 254 individuals using an EIA polymerase chain reaction assay for HGV. One hundred patients had chronic hepatitis

Interferons and hepatitis C virus

open access: yesSwiss Medical Weekly, 2012
Interferons are not only the first line of defence against viral infections such as hepatitis C virus infections, but they also have important roles during the chronic phase of viral infections. For over 20 years now, recombinant interferon alpha has been used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C.

Viral‐Mediated Connexin 26 Expression Combined with Dexamethasone Rescues Hearing in a Conditional Gjb2 Null Mice Model

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
AAV2.7m8 serotype combined with the gfaABC1D promoter targets infection of supporting cells (SCs). AAV2.7m8‐gfaABC1D‐Gjb2 administration to mice results in excessive immune responses. The combination of AAV2.7m8‐gfaABC1D‐Gjb2 with dexamethasone (DEX) shows a synergistic effect and enhances the gene therapy effect in a conditional Cx26 null mice model ...

Strong correlation by ultrasonography of hepatomegaly and the presence of co-infection in HIV/HCV cirrhotic patients

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
OBJECTIVES: Progression of hepatic fibrosis is accelerated in patients co-infected with human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis C virus compared to hepatitis C virus mono-infected patients.

Modeling the dynamics of Hepatitis C Virus with combined antiviral drug therapy: Interferon and Ribavirin [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2011
A mathematical modeling of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) dynamics has been presented in this paper. The proposed model, which involves four coupled ordinary differential equations, describes the interaction of target cells (hepatocytes), infected cells, infectious virions and non-infectious virions.

The impact of illicit drug use on Spontaneous Hepatitis C Clearance: Experience from a large cohort population study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background and Aims: Acute hepatitis C infection usually ends in chronic infection, while in a minority of patients it is spontaneously cleared. The current population-based study is performed on a large cohort in Golestan province of Iran to examine the

Risk factors and outcome among a large patient cohort with community-acquired acute hepatitis C in Italy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
BACKGROUND: The epidemiology of acute hepatitis C has changed during the past decade in Western countries. Acute HCV infection has a high rate of chronicity, but it is unclear when patients with acute infection should be treated.

Correlation Between Fecal Microbiota and Corticosteroid Responsiveness in Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia: an Exploratory Study

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uses gut microbiome data to predict corticosteroid response in patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Fecal samples from 212 patients with ITP are sequenced. Six machine‐learning algorithms are used to train predictive models. The support vector machine‐based model integrated clinical data and selected microbial species, diversities ...
