Serum non‐coding RNAs for diagnosis and stage of liver fibrosis
Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, Volume 36, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022 MicroRNAs, lncRNAs, circRNAs and exosomes which were released from liver enter into circulating vessels. The blood which contain these molecules are drawed from patients. Then the blood specimen are tested for diagnose of early fibrosis or stage fibrosis in patients with liver diseases. Abstract Background All chronic liver diseases could lead to liver

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Schistosomiasis remains a major global public health concern. Currently, the control of this neglected tropical disease still depends on chemotherapy to reduce the prevalence and intensity of the parasite infection. It has been widely accepted that praziquantel is highly effective against all species of Schistosoma, and this agent is virtually the only

Higher frequency of circulating Vδ1 γδT cells in patients with advanced schistosomiasis
Parasite Immunology, Volume 43, Issue 10-11, October/November 2021., 2021 Abstract Gamma‐delta (γδ) T cells are the bridge between natural and adaptive immunity. In the present study, peripheral blood was collected from 13 patients with advanced schistosomiasis (schistosomiasis group) and 13 uninfected people (control group) to investigate the γδ T cells and their subtypes in human schistosomiasis.

PAMAM-Lys, a novel vaccine delivery vector, enhances the protective effects of the SjC23 DNA vaccine against Schistosoma japonicum infection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 BACKGROUND: Schistosomiasis japonica remains a major public-health concern in China. Praziquantel-based chemotherapy effectively reduces both infections and intensity; however, it can not prevent re-infection.
