Nicotine metabolism in liver microsomes from rats with acute hepatitis or cirrhosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Nicotine exerts a number of physiological effects. Nicotine is absorbed through the lungs with smoking and is rapidly metabolized in humans. Although it is mainly metabolized in the liver, the effects of liver injuries on nicotine metabolism are not clear. The purpose of this study was to clarify

Hepatitis C in patients with co-occurring mental disorders and substance use disorders: is tobacco use a possible risk factor?

Only registered users can translate articles

This study of a dually diagnosed population in Colorado estimated the prevalence of hepatitis C to be 29.7%, or sixteen times higher than that in the general population. In attempts to determine possible risk factors, a surprisingly high correlation was found between the use of tobacco and HCV

Expression and characterization of an anti-(hepatitis B surface antigen) glycosylated mouse antibody in transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants and its use in the immunopurification of its target antigen.

Only registered users can translate articles

Transgenic plants expressing recombinant immunoglobulins have arisen as an alternative technology for the large-scale production of antibodies useful in therapeutics and in industrial processes. In the present paper we report the expression in transgenic tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum ) of an

Tobacco Smoking Is Not Associated With Accelerated Liver Disease in Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Hepatitis C Coinfection: A Longitudinal Cohort Analysis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Background. Tobacco smoking has been shown to be an independent risk factor for liver fibrosis in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in some cross-sectional studies. No longitudinal study has confirmed this relationship, and the effect of tobacco exposure on liver fibrosis in human immunodeficiency

Alcohol, tobacco and coffee consumption and liver disease severity among individuals with Chronic Hepatitis B infection in North America.

Only registered users can translate articles

The prevalence of alcohol, tobacco, and coffee use and association with liver health among North Americans with Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) infection has not been well described.The Hepatitis B Research Network includes an observational study of untreated CHB

Detection of Rubisco and mycotoxins as potential contaminants of a plantibody against the hepatitis B surface antigen purified from tobacco.

Only registered users can translate articles

Antibodies have been one of the proteins widely expressed in tobacco plants for pharmaceutical purposes, which demand contaminant free preparations. Rubisco constitutes 40-60% of tobacco leaf soluble proteins; therefore it is the major potential protein contaminant of plantibodies, while mycotoxins

Expression of human hepatitis B virus surface antigen gene in transgenic tobacco.

Only registered users can translate articles

Expression of Human hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) gene in plant was reported for the first time. The recombinant plasmid pRoKII-HBsAg was constructed by inserting HBsAg gene into the downstream of CaMV 35S promoter of binary vector pRoKII and then introduced into Agrobacterium

[Analysis of transgenic tobacco plants carrying the gene for the surface antigen of the hepatitis B virus].

Only registered users can translate articles

The plasmids carrying the gene encoding the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) under the control of 35S RNA single or dual promoters of the cauliflower mosaic virus CaMV 35S were constructed. These constructions were used for obtaining transgenic tobacco plants that synthesize the HBS antigen. The

Hepatitis viruses, alcohol, and tobacco in the etiology of hepatocellular carcinoma in Italy.

Only registered users can translate articles

Mortality rates of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are high in Italy compared with other Western countries. To elucidate further the role of hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), alcohol drinking, and tobacco smoking in the etiology of HCC, we carried out a hospital-based case-control

Secretion of hepatitis B surface antigen in transformed tobacco cell suspension cultures.

Only registered users can translate articles

Six different expression cassettes of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) were used to transform tobacco cell suspension cultures. The transgenic nature of the cells was confirmed by PCR. The secreted HBsAg was assayed by ELISA and analyzed by Western blotting. A maximum of 31 microg antigen/l was

Tobacco and other factors have a negative impact on quality of life in hepatitis C patients.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is known to adversely affect general, social, emotional and mental health domains. This study was designed to identify variables that may be associated with these measurable outcomes. We conducted a cross-sectional retrospective review of demographic and clinical data from

Expression of hepatitis B surface antigen in tobacco cell suspension cultures.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hepatitis B virus ' s ' gene coding for surface antigen was cloned into plant transformation vectors pHER100 and pHBs100 with and without endoplasmic reticulum retention signal, respectively. Transformed tobacco cell lines were analyzed for the integration of the transgene by PCR and Southern blot

Hepatitis B virus, tobacco smoking and ethanol consumption in the etiology of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

Tobacco smoking and alcohol drinking histories were obtained from 194 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 456 hospital controls, and the results were analysed in conjunction with the results of serological determinations of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), antibody to HBsAg

Epidemiologic assessment of interactions of hepatitis-C virus with seromarkers of hepatitis-B and -D viruses, cirrhosis and tobacco smoking in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Only registered users can translate articles

A recently introduced enzyme immunoassay procedure for antibodies against the hepatitis-C virus (HCV) was used to test samples from 185 cases with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 432 hospital controls. The anti-HCV results were examined in conjunction with previously reported data from this study

Large-scale purification of an antibody directed against hepatitis B surface antigen from transgenic tobacco plants.

Only registered users can translate articles

The application of bioengineering to plants for production of biological products for human and animal use has expanded in recent years. The reasons for this expansion are several and include advances in the technology for novel production systems and the need for very large quantities of
