Infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a major problem worldwide. The histocompatibility complex plays an essential role in host immunity and can help eliminate the HBV of infected hepatocytes. Our study aimed to determine certain human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II molecules (i.e. HLA-DRB1 HLA-DQB1) persistence or removal HBV. Sixty patients confirmed be HBV-positive via real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), i.e. people chronic active hepatitis, were included along control group...
(1) Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is one of the most studied rhinological disorders. Modifications respiratory mucosa in COVID-19 patients are so far unknown. This paper presents a comparative morphological characterization CRSwNP versus and tissue interleukin (IL)-33 concentration. (2) Methods: We analyzed samples through histopathology, scanning transmission electron microscopy performed proteomic determination IL-33. (3) Results: Histopathologically,...
At present, the autopsy reports are based on a subjective, descriptive method. The technical progress of imagistic domain led to development objective, non-invasive and non-destructive methods, whose utility manifested itself within forensic medicine, too. It developed concept virtopsy, an alternative conventional autopsy, using modern techniques, results were quantified in comparison this. Results show that case this uniform objective method preserves evidence, some data important for...
