Introduction: Interferon therapy, used in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB), is one of the means by which patients can achieve a functional cure. Pegylated interferon is currently used in the treatment of CHB. There are two main types of pegylated interferon: α-2b and α-2a.

Methods: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to induce an ALI cellular model in HL7702 cells, in which lentivirus vectors containing MALAT1/EZH2/GFER overexpression or knockdown were introduced. A series of experiments were performed to determine their roles in liver injury, oxidative stress injury, and cell biological processes.
Background: Although China has entered the post-malaria-elimination era, imported cases remain a public health concern in China.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from cases of imported malaria from January 2017 to December 2020 in Chengdu Public Health Clinical Center. We assessed potential clinical, epidemiological, geographical, and seasonal effects on duration of hospital stay.
Background: Various noninvasive liver fibrosis assessment tools are available. Here, we evaluated the performance of the asparagine aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI), the fibrosis-4 index (FIB-4), transient elastography (TE), and the globulin-platelet (GP) ratio for identifying liver fibrosis in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
Methods: A total of 146 patients were assessed using TE, FIB-4, APRI, the GP ratio, and liver biopsy.
