Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesInflammatory Effects of Co-Exposure to Heavy Metals (Cd and Pb) and Respiratory Viruses (229E, OC43, and H3N2) on IL-6 and IL-8 Responses in U87 Glioblastoma CellsHyeokjun Yun, Qian-Wen Wang, Jae Kyung KimCo-exposure to heavy metals and viruses can pose threats to cellular health by increasing cytotoxicity and inflammatory cytokine expression. We aimed to elucidate the interactions between these factors inhuman glioblastoma cells (U87). U87 cells were exposed to influenza A virus (H3N2), coronaviruses OC43 and 229E, and heavy metals Cd and Pb. Cell viability and cytotoxicity were assessed through WST-8 and … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 5 Jul 2025 · 5,505 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesDiagnostic Potential of Inflammatory Biomarker Levels in the Serum of Patients with Hepatitis B Infection: A Retrospective StudyHyeokjun Yun, Bo Kyeung Jung, In Soo Rheem et al.This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic biomarker potential of C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Procalcitonin (PCT) levels in the serum of individuals infected with the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV). The patients were divided into two age groups: Younger (<60 years) and older (≥60 years). An Electrochemiluminescence Immunoassay (ECLIA) platform was employed for the serological analysis to quantify the biomarker levels. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 10 Aug 2023 · 5,270 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAssessment of Thyroid Hormone Level Alterations in Hepatitis B-Positive Serum Using a Quantitative Immunofluorescence Assay: A Randomized Controlled TrialHyeokjun Yun, Bo Kyeung Jung et al.This retrospective study aimed to assess the differences in serum biomarker levels, specifically thyroid hormone (free T4 and Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone [TSH]) levels, according to the presence or absence of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection. Using a quantitative immunofluorescence assay, we analyzed serum samples from patients with confirmed HBV infection at Dankook University Hospital in Cheonan Province, Republic of Korea, between … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 31 Jul 2023 · 5,030 accessesView PDF Cite
