1. Abstract 1.1. Background: Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis (SBP) is a big complication of liver cirrhosis with ascites. Ascitic Fluid Total Protein (AFTP) is still used to determine the risk of SBP in cirrhotic patients with ascites. There are single reports of the role of serum-ascites albumin gradient (SAAG) in the diagnosis of SBP. 1.2. Aim: …

1. Abstract 1.1. Introduction: This study aimed to investigate whether pancreatic secondary signs on contrast-enhanced dynamic CT are really specific for patients with pancreatic adenocarcinomas. 1.2. Methods: A retrospective review of dynamic CT findings was performed for 93 patients with suspected pancreatic adenocarcinomas and with any secondary CT signs. Among these 93 patients with secondary …

1. Abstract 1.1. Aims: The poor prognoses of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection are correlated with hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg). Current antiviral therapy does not directly interfere with HBeAg synthesis. HBeAg formation depends on proprotein convertase furin. To block HBeAg synthesis on purpose, galactosylated arginine-rich macromolecular furin inhibitors were developed and evaluated. DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.47829/JJGH.2021.51002

1. Abstract 1.1. Introduction: Acute small bowel obstruction is a problem of modern surgery. It is not possible to study morphological and functional changes in the walls of the stomach in acute small bowel obstruction on clinical material, performing a biopsy in the dynamics of the development of the disease. Therefore, our work is experimental.

1. Abstract 1.1. Aim: The aim of this study is to make our contribution to the study of acute generalized peritonitis of typhus origin at the Kankan Regional Hospital. Typhoid perforation is defined as the opening of a hollow viscus in the abdominal cavity due to salmonella. 1.2. Methodology: We carried out a 6-month prospective …

1. Abstract Coinfection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) is often associated with a higher risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here, we found that HBV X protein (HBx) and HCV core protein cooperate to inhibit p16 expression via DNA methylation in human hepatoma cells. For this purpose, they additively upregulated both …

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: The aim of this study was to assess the quantitative composition of muscle and adipose tissue in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients on the basis of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry for the diagnosis of obesity and sarcopenia. 1.2. Methods: Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was administered to 50 patients with T2DM. Evaluation of …
