TGF-β signaling is activated in patients with chronic HBV infection and repressed by SMAD7 overexpression after successful antiviral treatment
(2016)Objectives: Although animal studies demonstrated that Smad7 induction ameliorates TGF-β/SMAD-mediated fibrogenesis, its role in human hepatic diseases is rather obscure. Our study explored the activation status of TGF-β/activin ... -
Total antioxidant status and erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activity in patients with chronic hepatitis B and C
(2004)Damage of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected hepatocytes is mediated by both a direct cytopathic effect of the viruses and by immunologic response of T-cells. However, other mechanisms such as ... -
Tuberculous pyomyositis: A re-emerging entity of many faces
(2016)Tuberculosis (TB) has become a global concern due to its increasing incidence, particularly in immunocompromised patients, closely following the migratory patterns of populations. TB pyomyositis is a rare extrapulmonary ... -
Unsaturation: An important structural feature to nucleosides' antiviral activity
(2014)In the search of effective, selective and nontoxic antiviral agents, a variety of nucleoside analogues have been synthesized, with different functionalities in the carbohydrate moiety and/or the heterocyclic base. Nucleoside ... -
Vaccination Coverage of the Elderly in Greece: A Cross-Sectional Nationwide Study
(2020)Vaccines are important for older adults, and the morbidity and mortality of vaccine-preventable diseases among older adults are high. There are limited data on vaccination coverage among elderly people in Greece. The aim ... -
