Hepatocellular carcinoma risk in HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B patients with or without cirrhosis treated with entecavir: HepNet.Greece cohort
(2015)
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may still develop in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients treated with lamivudine. Whether HCC rates are comparable in patients treated with the current first-line antivirals remains uncertain. ...
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 ...
Pegylated interferon-based treatment in patients with advanced liver disease due to chronic delta hepatitis
(2012)
Background/aims: The safety and efficacy of interferons in advanced delta hepatitis have not been explored. The aim of this subanalysis of a multi-center clinical trial was to compare the efficacy and safety of 48 weeks ...
Real-time quantification of human telomerase reverse transcriptase mRNA in liver tissues from patients with hepatocellular cancer and chronic viral hepatitis
(2007)
We determined, for the first time, the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) mRNA expression, using real-time quantitative PCR, in liver tissues from patients with hepatocellular cancer (HCC; n = 13), chronic ...
Low prevalence of HCV, HIV, and HTLV-I/II infection markers in northwestern Greece: Results of a 3-year prospective donor study (1995-1997)
(2003)
Background: The risk of infection with transfusion-transmitted viruses has been reduced remarkably. A zero-risk blood supply, however, remains a popular goal. A 3-year prospective donor study was conducted in the Epirus ...
Multiple autoimmune propensity and B-Non-Hodgkin lymphoma: Cause or effect?
(2011)
We report a case of multiple autoimmunity consisting of the presence of autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA), antimitochondrial antibodies (AMAs), and antiphospholipid antibodies (APLAbs) as the presenting manifestations ...
Primary biliary cirrhosis and Henoch-Schonlein purpura: report of two cases and review of the literature
(2007)
We describe, for the first time, two adult patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) who presented palpable purpuric lesions on the lower extremities and buttocks. Skin biopsy was consistent with Henoch-Schonlein purpura ...
Hepatitis C virus survival curve analysis in naïve patients treated with PegInterferon α-2b plus ribavirin. A randomized controlled trial for induction with high doses of PegInterferon and predictability of sustained viral response from early virologic data
(2006)
Aim. To evaluate the significance of induction with high doses of pegylated interferon α-2b (Peg-IFNα-2b) and the predictability of sustained virologic response (SVR) in naïve patients with chronic hepatitis C. Methods. ...
Occult hepatitis B virus infection in Greek patients with chronic hepatitis C and in patients with diverse nonviral hepatic diseases
(2004)
Occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has been reported in patients with chronic hepatitis C who are negative for HBV surface antigen (HBsAg). However, the significance of 'silent' HBV in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection ...
On-treatment prediction of sustained response to peginterferon alfa-2a for HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B patients
(2015)
Background & AimsWe assessed predictors of response in HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B patients treated with peginterferon alfa-2a in routine clinical practice. MethodsNinety-five HBeAg-negative patients received ...
