Macrophages play key role in host defense and tissue repair, and thus understanding regulation of their function is important. For instance, our previous results have shown that in chicken macrophage system (CoMA cell line), application of a pulse of electromagnetic fields of frequencies 0.618,

We report on a 62-year-old man with chronic hepatitis C who developed rapidly growing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after achieving sustained virological response at post-treatment week 24 (SVR 24) by direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatment. In 2008, he failed interferon therapy at 56 years of age.

OBJECTIVE It remains controversial whether direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) accelerate the recurrence of hepatitis C-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after curative therapy. This study aimed to evaluate HCC recurrence after DAA treatment of chronic hepatitis C. METHODS We enrolled patients with

Several of many tested plant lectins induced interferon (IFN) production in cultures of human peripheral blood mononuclear leucocytes (PBL). The mannose-binding lectin obtained from Lens culinaris (LCL) was a particularly efficient inducer of trypsin-sensitive antiviral activity, which qualified as

OBJECTIVE We evaluated the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with Child-Pugh (C-P) class A based on FIB-4 index, which is a liver fibrosis marker. METHODS A total of 915 HCC patients with C-P class A were investigated. We assessed the prognosis using FIB-4 index, and factors

In herpes simplex virus-infected (HSV) cells, the antiviral nucleoside analogue 5-n-propyl-2'-deoxyuridine (PdU) may, under certain circumstances, induce a pattern of interference with late steps in formation of N-linked glycans, resulting in increased availability of viral glycoproteins for

Induction of porcine interferon (PoIFN) with different lectins (phytohaemagglutinin, Lens culinaris lectin, Arachis hypogea lectin) in various concentrations (500, 50 and 5 micrograms/ml) was studied. Kinetics of PoIFN appearance was analyzed by antiviral and antiproliferative tests in human

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has been one of the most fatal malignant tumors worldwide and its associated morbidity and mortality remain of significant concern. Based on in-depth reviews of serological diagnosis of HCC, in addition to AFP, there are other biomarkers: Lens culinaris
