Rs1310191201(C>T) Polymorphism in 3‘UTR of BIRC5promote Carcinogenesis of Human Gastric Cancer by De-Regulation by Mir-330-5p in Chinese Population

1. Abstract Previous reports have revealed that down-regulation of miR-330-5p expression can promote os- teosarcoma growth and invasion by targeting oncogene Baculoviral IAP repeat-containing pro- tein 5 (BIRC5). However, the function of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located in the 3’UTR of BIRC5 regulated by miR-330-5p has not been investigated in human Gastric Can- cer …

Rapid SARS-Cov-2 Infection Spreading within a Family Cluster: The Importance of Gastro-Intestinal Symptoms

1. Abstract 1.1. Background: In Phase-2 COVID-19 pandemic, timely control of new outbreaks is pivotal to avoid an epidemic rebound. A better knowledge of clinical disease profiles and the development of sensitive diagnostic flow charts will help to take more effectiveactions. 1.2. Patients and Methods: We studied an outbreak occurred in 3 families during a …

Undertreatment of Hepatitis C Virus Infection in Elective Total Hip Arthroplasty

Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) are known for poor outcomes increased risk of iatrogenic infection. New Direct Antiviral Agents (DAA) can now cure HCV infection. However, undertreatment is still common in patients undergoing THA. Our aim was to assess the prevalence of HCV infection and treatment rates inpatients with …

Epidemiological Characteristics of De Novo Hepatitis B Infection in Liver Transplant Recipients – An Experience from a Tertiary Care Centre in Qatar

Emergence of Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg) in a patient with previously negative Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) serology post Orthotropic Liver Transplant (OTLX) is known as De-novo Hepatitis B (DNHB). To study the clinical profile and epidemiology of patients with DNHB in Qatar. This descriptive epidemiological study was done by retrospectively reviewing records of 159 …

A Hepatocelluar Co-Culture System for the Investigation of Cellular-Based Mechanisms of Troglitazone-Induced Liver Injury

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a serious issue faced by the pharmaceutical industry, and often leads to drug withdrawal once patients experience drug-induced severe hepatic failure. We developed an in vitro assay system that enables to assess cellular damage and immune reaction responses that ultimately result in DILI using troglitazone as a model drug….

Prognostic Variables for Patients with T2N0M0 Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

To explore the variables which could predict the prognosis and might be considered as staging factors in patients with T2N0M0 Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC).Records of 525 patients with pathologic T2N0M0 ESCC who underwent surgical resection were reviewed. The T2 category was further subdivided into T2a (circular muscle layers) and T2b (longitudinal muscle layers)….

Immunological Pathways in the Development of Postoperative Hyper- amylasemia and Postoperative Pancreatitis

Postoperative pancreatitis complications can be separated into two main groups based on literature reviews and clinical trials. Some authors suggest that postoperative pancreatitis is a severe complication that should be treated conservatively and operatively if needed. Other authors defend an opposite opinion that only postoperative hyperamylasemia exists, which is a transitory condition with no risk …
