Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Department of Internal Medicine, National Medical Center, Seoul, Korea.
Background: Coinfection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) can cause more rapid progression to cirrhosis than HCV-monoinfection. In this study, incident HCV case (IHCV)s were investigated in a HIV clinic in Korea.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective HIV cohort was constructed who visited National Medical Center in Korea from 2013 to 2022 and performed ≥ 1 anti-HCV antibody tests (anti-HCV) during the study period.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting PD-1/PD-L1 are gradually being applied in the treatment of advanced urinary system tumors. Immunohistochemical analysis of PD-L1 expression is the most popular method for screening suitable patients for immunotherapy and predicting therapeutic efficacy. The current application status of PD-L1 detection for urinary system tumors (mainly urothelial carcinoma), methods of the different antibody tests and the precautions, challenges and solutions in the interpretation of immunostaining were summarized in this review.

Evaluation of self-collected dried blood spots for detection of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid antibodies shows low sensitivity.
J Immunol Methods
January 2025
Cantonal Hospital St. Gallen, Clinic for infectious diseases and hospital hygiene, Switzerland; Children Hospital of Eastern Switzerland; Switzerland. Electronic address:
Background And Aims: Dried blood spots (DBS) have been proposed as a cost-effective surveillance method for population-wide screening of SARS-CoV-2 immunity but sensitivity of DBS based on self-collected DBS samples is unknown. To evaluate the success of vaccination strategies, it is necessary to differentiate vaccination from natural infection. Therefore, a test for antibodies against the viral nucleocapsid protein (anti-N) is desirable.

Background: To date, a growing body of evidence suggests that unfolded protein response (UPR) sensors play a vital role in carcinogenesis. However, it remains unclear whether they are involved in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and how they relate to clinical outcomes. This study aims to investigate the biological function and mechanism of how a novel UPR sensor, CREB3L1 works in PDAC and further evaluate its clinical application prospect.
