Immune memory is crucial for preventing hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection. Our study aims to investigate immunological memory characteristics and differences between vaccination and natural HEV infection, taking into account that both can induce immune memory. We recruited 60 HEV-infected patients, 58 contingency HEV-vaccinated individuals and 4 controls from an outbreak of hepatitis E in a nursing home between June and August 2023.

Los Angeles County has a high prevalence of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, but resources and infrastructure to notify and increase treatment uptake among county residents are absent. Through an innovative academic-public partnership, we developed a linkage-to-cure program utilizing the Department of Public Health's HCV surveillance registry. Case workers contacted reported cases via phone, to offer education, and treatment referral.

Dysfunction of peripheral blood neutrophils occurs in acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). However, the molecular mechanisms of neutrophils involved in the pathophysiology of the ACLF remains poorly understood. Data downloaded from the GEO database (GSE142255) was used to identify both ACLF and neutrophil-related genes with the help of the limma package and Weighted Gene Co-Expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) algorithms.
