alpha globulin/hepatitis

BACKGROUND Liver biopsy, which is considered the best method for evaluating hepatic fibrosis, has important adverse events. Therefore, non-invasive tests have been developed to determine the degree of hepatic fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis B. OBJECTIVE To verify the usefulness of a new

OBJECTIVE To bring forward a suggestion about clinical diagnostic standard and clinical typing for chronic and severe hepatitis. METHODS To make a comprehensive study on clinical features and pathology of 895 cases of severe and chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis after hepatitis based on the viral

Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) is detected in the serum of some persons infected with hepatitis B virus. Owing to a close correlation of HBeAg and hepatitis B virus in the serum, it has been used as a practical indicator of infectivity. Two entities of HBeAg activity physicochemically different from

In a recent issue of the Revista Española de Enfermedades Digestivas, we read with interest the article by Coskun et al. "The diagnostic value of a globulin/platelet model for evaluating liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B patients". However, we wanted to emphasize some points about the article.

Immunosuppressive activity of alpha-globulin fraction of human blood plasma (Cohn fraction IV) was studied to determine the possible clinical utilization of this fraction as such, purified, or as the starting material for isolation of the active factor. The ethanol fractions IV, isolated and waste

Materials of epidemiological analysis of familial infectious hepatitis nidality in 104 families are presented. The data obtained pointed to the preponderant affection of children constituting 97.1% of primary and 87.7% of subsequent cases in familial foci. Infection was brought to the families by

OBJECTIVE To investigate the outcome of the kidney transplant recipients with different grades and stages of chronic hepatitis B virus after receiving renal transplantation for 3 years.

BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a cancer of poor prognosis, with limited success in patient treatment, which it makes an excellent target for gene therapy and viral oncolysis. Accordingly, herpes virus simplex type-1 (HSV-1) is one of the most promising viral platforms for transferring

Electrophoretic patterns of normal dog plasma in veronal buffer at pH 8.5 are shown to be essentially similar to patterns of human plasma. Dog albumin has a higher mobility than human albumin and in a mixture of dog and human plasmas migrates as a partially separated peak. Normal dog plasma
