Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) infection shows obvious regional and ethnic differences. Although studies have shown that these differences may be associated with lipid metabolism, to date, no large-scale studies have explored this. This study explored the seropositivity rate of HHV-8 among 2516 residents from 10 regions of northwest China and then the correlates of HHV-8 infection with lipid profile.

At present, the v-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 (BRAF) gene mutation has been observed in esophageal cancer and is associated with poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the protein expression of BRAF in esophageal cancer and determine its effect on patient outcomes.

- - The GerdQ questionnaire was used to assess inpatients with reflux symptoms, focusing on factors like heartburn and nausea, and scored on a scale of 6 points.
- - A total of 1233 patients participated, with 538 diagnosed with reflux esophagitis (RE) via endoscopy, revealing a significant correlation between GerdQ scores and the presence and severity of RE (p < 0.05).
- - The study suggests that GerdQ is a valuable screening tool for RE diagnosis, showing strong links to both diagnosis and severity across different patient groups, including Uygur and Han populations.
Objective: We aimed to study the association between HLA-DRB1 alleles and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) among Uyghur and Han patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) in China.
Methods: Altogether 160 UC patients and 466 healthy controls of Uyghur and Han groups residing in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China were included. HLA-DRB1 variants were identified from genomic DNA using polymerase chain reaction and gene sequencing.
Aim: To evaluate the association between HLA-DRB1 alleles and Han and Uyghur ulcerative colitis (UC) patients residing in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China.
Methods: In this study, 102 UC patients (53 Han including 22 men and 31 women, and 49 Uyghur patients including 25 men and 24 women; aged 48.07 ± 15.
