Clonorchis sinensis is a food-borne trematode that infects more than 15 million people. The liver fluke causes clonorchiasis and chronical cholangitis, and promotes cholangiocarcinoma. The underlying molecular pathogenesis occurring in the bile duct by the infection is little known. In this study, transcriptome profile in the bile ducts infected…[Read more]

oscopic therapy, and the incorporation of newer therapies, are needed for stricturing Crohn’s disease.National mortality statistics commonly provide disease-specific absolute and relative frequencies of death by sex and age, but not by exposure status. However, it is often of interest to know how many of the diseased individuals, that is the…[Read more]

Currently CD4+ T lymphocyte counts and HIV-1 RNA levels are being utilized to predict outcome of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) disease. Recently, the role of immune activation in HIV disease progression and response to treatment is being investigated. This study focused on the expression of CD38 and HLA-DR on lymphocyte subsets in various…[Read more]

Upon heating or (slow) cooling, the Al metal can repeatably move in and out of the Si x Ge1-x alloy nanowire while maintaining the rodlike geometry and crystallinity, allowing to fabricate and contact nanowire heterostructures in a reversible way in a single process step, compatible with current Si-based technology. This interesting system is…[Read more]
