Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMeasurement of the Gene Expression and Polymorphisms of c-myc and p53 Genes in HBV Infected PatientsFayed Koutb, Salah Abdel-Rahman, Ehab Hassouna, Amany HaggagThis study explained the c-myc and p53 gene expression and polymorphisms in chronic (40), cirrhosis (30) and Hepatocellular Carcinoma, (HCC) (30) patients related to Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection and healthy control (50) in Egypt. Where, c-myc (intron 8) and p53 (codon 72) gene expression and polymorphisms were determined using qRT-PCR and PCR-RFLP techniques. The results showed that c-myc gene … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 22 Feb 2021 · 7,229 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDihydroartemisinin Attenuates HBV-Induced Proliferation and Migration in LO2 cells via EMT Pathway ModulationYingde Nong, Caifang Ma, Wei Huang et al.Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), a derivative of artemisinin, possesses well-documented anti-inflammatory properties. This study investigated the inhibitory effects of DHA on hepatitis B virus (HBV)-induced cellular alterations in LO2 cells and elucidated underlying molecular mechanisms. Serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were measured in HBV patients and analyzed for correlations with HBsAg, anti-HBs, and HBeAg. In vitro, LO2 cells were infected with clinical HBV … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 8 Jan 2026 · 2,071 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAssessment 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

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHepatitis B Virus DNA Can be Amplified Directly From Dried Blood Spot on Filter PaperNaglaa Fathy Alhusseini, Mamdouh Z. Abadeer, Sheref M. El-TaherHepatitis B Virus (HBV) infections represent a major public health problem because of the ability of HBV to cause a chronic carrier state. Even though chronic carriers remain largely asymptomatic, a large number of these individuals subsequently develop cirrhosis and primary hepatocellular carcinomas. Dried Blood Spot (DBS) samples are a simple and inexpensive sampling method, especially useful for blood collection … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 22 Jun 2012 · 8,454 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUltrastructural Evidences of Hepatitis B Infection in Human Liver Biopsies Disclose Complex Assembly and Morphogenesis Pathways for Hepatitis B VirusViviana Falcon, Ivon Menéndez, Nelson Acosta-Rivero et al.Despite of recent advances on acknowledge of hepatitis B virus (HBV) structure and biology, little is known about the morphogenesis and release of virions. In this study, the ultrastructural analysis of HBV components in liver biopsies from chronically HBV-infected patients disclosed complex assembly and morphogenesis pathways for HBV. HBV core (HBcAg) and surface (HBsAg) antigens were specifically identified in all … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,091 accessesView PDF Cite
