Methods There were 295 patients 265 healthy control subjects (HCs) enrolled study. Clinical data blood samples collected from patients. The genotypes detected SLE HCs. Results A total 74 on loci determined 288 as well 57 re...

The removal of organic micropollutants (OMPs) has been investigated in constructed wetlands (CWs) operated as bioelectrochemical systems (BES). operation CWs BES (CW-BES), either the form microbial fuel cells (MFC) or electrolysis (MEC), only recent years. presented experiment used CW meso-scale applying a realistic horizontal flow regime and continuous feeding real urban wastewater spiked with...

Context: Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection is a major cause of chronic cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Approximately 30% infected persons with HCV spontaneously clear the viral infection; but, some remaining patients develop HCV. Studies show that HLA molecules play an important role in outcome by influencing efficiency antiviral immune response to infection. It now known polymorphisms ...

  Background and Objective: The outcome of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection may be influenced by host factors like Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA). We have investigated HLA-A and DRB1 alleles in patients with persistent hepatitis B infection compared to subjects who had spontaneously recovered from HBV infection. To complete the findings of this study we performed another survey in certain HLA ...

BackgroundIn patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), autoantibodies are associated specific clinical phenotypes suggesting a pathogenic role of adaptive immunity. We explored if autoantibody profiles HLA genetic variants and manifestations in IIM.MethodsWe included 1348 IIM determined the occurrence 14 myositis-specific or –associated autoantibodies. used unsupervised cluster an...
