HBV Outreach Programs Significantly Increase Knowledge and Vaccination Rates Among Asian Pacific Islanders.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) testing and vaccination rates remain low among Asian-American/Pacific Islanders (APIs) despite high rates of HBV infection. The aim of our study was to assess the effectiveness of an outreach campaign to increase HBV knowledge, testing, and vaccination among a cohort of APIs. Vietnamese Americans were invited to participate in a free HBV screening and vaccination outreach program though pubic service announcements.

Analysis of the components of Lycopus europaeus L. in body fluids during metabolism studies. Comparison of capillary electrophoresis and high-performance liquid chromatography.

During pharmacokinetic studies with extracts obtained from medicinally used plants, analysis in body fluids is mainly performed by HPLC, an established separation method. In this paper high-performance capillary electrophoresis (HPCE) is investigated for its ability to separate such complex extracts. Crude extracts of Lycopus europaeus L.
