Serum IL-33 Levels Are Associated with Liver Damage in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C
Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is associated with the development of Th2 responses. This study examined the potential role of IL-33 in the pathogenic process of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) in Chinese patients. The levels of serum IL-33 and sST2 in 154 patients with CHC, 24 with spontaneously resolved HCV (SR-HCV) infection and 20 healthy controls (HC), were analyzed by ELISA. The concentrations of serum ...
متن کاملHepatitis E Virus and Serum Level Aminotransferases in Blood Donors
Background: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is a self-limiting viral infection that can lead to severe complications and death. In different regions the epidemiology of this infection varies. In this study we evaluated the seroepidemiology of hepatitis E infection in Jahrom, a city in southern Iran. Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive study of serum samples from 477 subjects, i...
متن کاملMerging models of hepatitis C virus pathogenesis.
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is one of the major causes for development of liver cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease. This article reviews two contrasting models of HCV pathogenesis, discusses the merits of each, and presents a rationale for combining the two models into one. Any successful model of HCV pathogenesis must explain how the characteristic features of cirrhosis and en...
متن کاملHepatitis C virus induces interleukin-1β (IL-1β)/IL-18 in circulatory and resident liver macrophages.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-mediated chronic liver disease is a global health problem, and inflammation is believed to be an important player in disease pathogenesis. HCV infection often leads to severe fibrosis/cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, although the mechanisms for advancement of disease are not fully understood. The proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18 have crit...
متن کاملQuantification of serum hepatitis C virus core protein level in patients chronically infected with different hepatitis C virus genotypes.
BACKGROUND/AIM A novel fluorescent enzyme immunoassay (FEIA) for the detection and quantification of serum hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein was developed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation among serum HCV core protein level, HCV RNA level, and HCV genotype in patients with chronic HCV infection. PATIENTS AND METHODS Serum HCV core protein, HCV RNA, HCV genotype were deter...
