Reactive arthritis after COVID-19 vaccination.

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2-induced coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has had a global spread. Vaccines play an essential role in preventing the spread. However, almost all types of vaccines have been reported to be associated with adverse events.

HBx-related long non-coding RNA 01152 promotes cell proliferation and survival by IL-23 in hepatocellular carcinoma.

Accumulating evidence suggests that long-noncoding RNA (lncRNA) plays important roles in hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections. However, the mechanism underlying how lncRNA regulate hepatocellular carcinoma process remains largely unknown. In this study we found that the expression of LINC01152 was significantly increased in HBV positive HCC tissues and cells and was induced by HBx in vitro.

Blockage of Notch1 signaling modulates the T-helper (Th)1/Th2 cell balance in chronic hepatitis B patients.

Aim: Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is thought to involve the imbalance of T-helper (Th)1/Th2 cells. Many procedures found Notch signaling involved the proliferation and differentiation of T lymphocytes during development and peripheral functions. The aim of this study was to discover the effect of blockage of Notch1 signaling to Th cells and the mechanisms involved in chronic hepatitis B patients.
