Pregnancy and fetal outcomes of chronic hepatitis C mothers with viremia in China.

Background: Data that assess maternal and infant outcomes in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected mothers are limited.

Aim: To investigate the frequency of complications and the associated risk factors.

Methods: We performed a cohort study to compare pregnancy and fetal outcomes of HCV-viremic mothers with those of healthy mothers.

2-Phenyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium hydrogen fumarate-fumaric acid (2/1).

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(9)H(9)N(2) (+)·C(4)H(3)O(4) (-)·0.5C(4)H(4)O(4), consists of one 2-phenyl-imidazolium cation, one hydrogen fumarate anion and half a fumaric acid mol-ecule, which lies on an inversion center. N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the cations, anions and fumaric acid mol-ecules into sheets parallel to the (102) plane.

[Characteristics of the condylar movement traces during lateral excursion of the unilateral posterior buccal crossbite].

Purpose: To investigate the characteristics of the condylar movement traces during lateral excursion of the unilateral posterior buccal crossbite and to compare the difference with the individual ideal occlusion.

Methods: Twenty-six subjects with normal occlusion and 26 subjects with unilateral posterior buccal crossbite were tested by CADIAX for the condylar movement. The lateral excursion traces were recorded.

[Fast image denoising based on mathematical morphology].

There is a contradiction between image denoising and protection of the useful information in the image. To deal with this contradiction, we use the approach of mathematical morphology. In this paper, we expound the method and effectivity of mathmatical morphology in image processing.

[Study on the changes of T-lymphocyte subsets in the patients with endometriosis].

Objective: To investigate the function of T-lymphocyte subsets in patients with endometriosis.

Methods: The levels of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the serum, and peritoneal fluid of 30 cases with endometriosis were detected using enzyme linked immunoabsorbent assay and compared with those of 20 non-endometriosis cases. The expression of IL-2 and IL-6 in ectopic endometrial tissue from the patients with endometriosis and the endometrial tissues of 10 normal women was investigated by immunohistochemistry method.
