Objectives: To determine the presence and prognostic value of PD-L1 and PD-L2 expression, and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) of non-smokers and non-drinkers (NSND).

Materials And Methods: Clinical characteristics and tumor tissue of 86 NSND with OSCC were retrospectively collected and analyzed for protein expression on tissue microarrays. Immunohistochemistry was performed for expression of PD-L1 CPS, PD-L2 TPS, and PD-1, CD45, CD8, CD4, CD3, and FoxP3-positive TILs/mm.

Unlabelled: Information regarding the possible carcinogenicity of human papillomaviruses (HPVs) in bladder tissue might pave the way for the prevention of bladder cancer through improving HPV vaccination of the at-risk population. To address this, this study was conducted to detect HPVs in bladder cancer tissues in the South of Iran. Bladder biopsy samples of 181 patients with bladder cancer were included in this study.

Objectives: To investigate the prevalence, genotype distribution, and risk factors of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among patients undergoing regular hemodialysis in Bushehr province in southern Iran.

Methods: All chronic hemodialysis patients from the cities of Dashtestan, Genaveh, and Bushehr participated in this study. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect anti-HCV antibodies.

Considering the potential risks associated with occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, this study was designed to investigate the magnitude and genotypic pattern of occult HBV infection among hemodialysis patients. All patients on regular hemodialysis attending the dialysis centers located in southern Iran and 277 nonhemodialysis controls were invited to participate in this study. Serum samples were tested for detection of hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) by competitive enzyme immunoassay and sandwich ELISA, respectively.

This study was performed to determine the prevalence, genotype distribution and risk factors of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection among β-thalassemia patients. ELISA was used to detect HBsAg and HBcAb. Molecular evaluation of HBV infection was performed by nested PCR, targeting S, X and pre-C regions of the genome, and sequencing.
