For interests in clinical translation of 68Ga-BMV101, an open-label dynamic whole-body PET/CT study was designed to investigate safety and diagnostic performance of 68Ga-BMV101 in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). A single dose of nearly 111 MBq 68Ga-BMV101 will be intravenously
1. HYPOTHESIS AND OBJECTIVES PEG-IFN as an immunomodulatory agent could potentiate the antiviral efficacy of patients on long term nucleos(t)ide analogue therapy and improve early indicators of efficacy, HBeAg loss and reduction in qHBsAg. This study will also test whether add-on compared to switch
Immunosuppressive therapy with the calcineurin inhibitors (CNI) Cyclosporine (CsA) and Tacrolimus (Tac), have radically changed the field of organ transplantation. Ironically, although extensively and effectively used for kidney transplantation and other solid organ transplants, CsA and Tac cause

Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) is a potent inducer of extracellular matrix production and of fibrogenesis and has been associated with the occurrence of diabetic micro- and macrovascular complications. Several in vitro and in vivo studies have implicated TGF-beta 1 in the
Alport syndrome (AS) represents a form of progressive hereditary nephritis in which the genetic defect resides in the synthesis of one of several subunits of type IV collagen, the predominant constituent of basement membranes in glomeruli, eye, cochlea. From a genetical point of view, the disease is
