conclusions this study showed that cccdna can be detected in the plasma specimen of 17.9% of iranian treatment-naive patients with chronic hepatitis b infection. therefore, designing prospective studies focusing on the detection of cccdna in these patients would provide more information. results the mean (sd) age of the patients was 41.1 ± 12.4 years (range, 20 - 62 years). from a total of 106 ...

Introduction: The hepatitis B is a viral infection that causes a big problem globally. About 2 billion people worldwide are infected and there are now about 400 million HBV-DNA carriers around the world. HBV infection is the ninth cause of death worldwide and infects about 350 million new cases each year in the world. HBV-DNA can be spotted in different body secretions and fluids, including se...

background and objective: rapid diagnosis of pertussis is important for the timely isolation of the infection source and early prevention measures among the contact persons, especially among non-vaccinated infants for whom pertussis is life- threatening. materials and methods: targets is481 , is1001, bp0026 and human gapdh gene were used to develop a multiplex real- time pcr assay based on the ...

the purpose of this paper is to study the higher order asymptotic distributions of the eigenvalues associated with a class of sturm-liouville problem with equation of the form w??=(?2f(x)?r(x)) (1), on [a,b, where ? is a real parameter and f(x) is a real valued function in c2(a,b which has a single zero (so called turning point) at point 0x=x and r(x) is a continuously differentiable function. ...
