Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Xianglong Lan"
- Xianglong Lan's recent research focuses on the co-infection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), exploring the role of HBV pregenomic RNA as a potential biomarker for determining functional cure in HIV/HBV co-infected patients experiencing HBsAg loss, indicating a significant advancement in hepatitis B treatment strategies.
- Lan conducted a molecular genetic characterization of a novel HIV-1 circulating recombinant form (CRF156_0755) in Guangdong, contributing to the understanding of HIV-1 genetic diversity and the prevalence of different subtypes in China, which is crucial for effective epidemic management and treatment approaches.
- The author also investigated the epidemiological and clinical features associated with children affected by the Omicron BA.5.2 subvariant in Guangzhou, addressing the public health implications of emerging COVID-19 variants in vulnerable populations.
