BACKGROUND
Obesity among children and adolescents in the United States has tripled since 1980, and has become a major public health concern.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential relationship between exposure to organic mercury from Thimerosal-containing hepatitis B
OBJECTIVE
Several studies have noted that obese adolescents and adults achieve lower titers of antibody in response to vaccines such as hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine. The objective of this study was to determine whether use of a longer (1.5-in) rather than a standard (1-in) needle to penetrate the
OBJECTIVE
Although many studies on evaluating the safety of liver resection in obese patients have been conducted, the results remain contradictory. The aim of our study was to investigate the safety of overweight and obese patients undergoing liver resection for hepatitis B-related hepatocellular
Decreased responses to hepatitis B vaccine have been associated with some host conditions including obesity. Susceptible non-responders to a primary three-dose vaccine series should be revaccinated. Those who maintain a non-responder condition after revaccination with three vaccine doses are
A hepatitis B virus (HBV) transgenic mice model was used to establish the fatty liver superimposed model by feeding the methionine choline-deficient (MCD) diet for 8 weeks, with or without the gavage of 2 mg/kg zeaxanthin dipalmitate (ZD) three times per week. Both wild-type and HBV transgenic mice,
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to investigate the association between serum adiponectin and chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
METHODS
We conducted a campus-based cross-sectional study in Northern Taiwan, an HBV-endemic country. A total of 506 participants, including 147 chronic HBV-infected
Several studies have reported that obesity and diabetes are important risk factors for elevated blood aminotransferase activity in individuals with no underlying causes of liver disease. The aim of this study was to determine whether obesity and fasting glucose level were associated with hepatic
Obesity is associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL), which may progress towards non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Occult hepatitis B virus infection (OBI) may contribute to hepatic damage in patients with chronic liver disease BACKGROUND
Globally, chronic B viral hepatitis (HBV) is a major health problem. Obesity is a common problem among patients with HBV. Several studies have reported that obesity is an important risk factor that alters immune system response in individuals with no underlying cause of liver disease.
BACKGROUND
Bariatric surgery is the only effective and long-lasting treatment of morbidly obese patients. However, the safety and efficacy of bariatric surgery in patients with hepatitis B viral (HBV) infection is not clear. The aim of the present study is to investigate whether HBV infection
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical impacts of obesity and hazardous alcohol use on the outcome of entecavir (ETV) therapy in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients.
METHODS
The medical records of 88 treatment-naïve patients who were diagnosed with CHB and received ETV between
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to clarify the effect of obesity on the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients receiving antiviral treatment.
METHODS
This study applied a retrospective analysis to a historical cohort in Bundang Jesaeng Hospital. In total, 102
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its associated risk factors in a cohort of university freshmen.
METHODS
A cross-sectional study in a university health center in North Taiwan.
METHODS
A total of 8226 students (mean age: 19.2+/-2.3 years) receiving pre-entrance health
Factors associated with lack of antibody response to the hepatitis B virus plasma vaccine were retrospectively evaluated by means of a logistic regression in 194 previously seronegative staff members of a community hospital. All subjects had received three doses of vaccine by intramuscular buttock
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to investigate the metabolic risk factors of high hepatitis B viral load.
METHODS
Large-scale, community-based cross-sectional study.
METHODS
A total of 3587 hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected participants without liver cirrhosis at study entry were investigated. High HBV
