Introduction: This study analyzes the changing levels of circulating inflammatory cytokines Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and interleukin (IL)-10 (as the main cytokines of T-helper-1 and T-helper-2 immune responses) in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection undergoing therapy with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) and to correlate them with laboratory markers.
Methods: This Pilot study included 50 HCV monoinfected patients who received DAAs for 12 or 24 weeks. They were followed up monthly during therapy and 3 months after the end of the treatment.
Introduction: Adiponectin is anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor cytokine secreted exclusively from adipocytes.

We aimed to study and characterize the different endoscopic and transabdominal ultrasonography (TUS) features of gut lymphoma and to assess whether TUS has a complementary role to endoscopy in the diagnosis of GI lymphoma.
Methods: This study was conducted on 21 patients with GI lymphoma, attending the GI endoscopy and liver unit, Endemic Medicine Department and Oncology Department in Kasr El Aini Hospital, Cairo University.
Utility of point shear wave elastography in characterisation of focal liver lesions.
Expert Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol

Background: The present study aimed at evaluation of the usefulness of point shear wave elastography (pSWE) in characterization of FLL(s) by quantifying their stiffness.
Methods: In total, 197 patients (mean age was 56.57 years) with FLL(s) on conventional ultrasound were included.
