Human Herpesvirus 8 Seroprevalence, China
To summarize the seroprevalence of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) in mainland China, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis based on available literature. Data show that differences in HHV-8 prevalence vary considerably among different ethnic groups and geographic regions. Blood-borne transmission could be a potential route for HHV-8 infection in China.
متن کاملSeroprevalence of human herpesvirus 8 infection in Northern Thailand.
BACKGROUND Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is associated with Kaposi sarcoma (KS) in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and KS, classical KS, or endemic KS. Because human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections and HIV/AIDS are common in Thailand but KS is very rare (only 0.2% of reported patients with AIDS in Thailand had KS), we determined the HHV-8 seroprevalence among popul...
متن کاملSeroprevalence of Human Herpesvirus 8 and Hepatitis C Virus among Drug Users in Shanghai, China
To elucidate and compare the seroprevalence of human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) among Chinese drug users, a cross-sectional study of 441 participants, was conducted in Shanghai, China, from 2012 through 2013. Seventy-seven (17.5%) participants were found to be positive for HHV8 antibodies, while 271 (61.5%) participants were positive for HCV. No significant association bet...
متن کاملSerum thyroid-stimulating hormone is elevated in men with Gleason 8 prostate cancer.
OBJECTIVE To measure the levels of serum thyroid- stimulating hormone (TSH) in men with prostate cancer, as those with a Gleason score of > or = 8 are at high risk of skeletal metastases (and should be considered for bone scintigraphy at diagnosis), and because the structural integrity of the skeleton depends on constant remodelling controlled by many local and systemic factors, including TSH, ...
متن کاملSerum interleukin-8 is elevated in men with prostate cancer and bone metastases.
Aalinkeel et al. (1) have recently reported that gene expression of angiogenic factors correlates with metastatic potential of prostate cancer cells. The rationale for the study of Aalinkeel et al. is that a variety of growth factors, among them interleukin-8 (il-8), can induce angiogenesis (2). Further, parathyroid hormone related peptide (PTHrP) acts to induce il-8 production in prostate canc...
