Association between Hepatitis B Virus Infection and Metabolic Syndrome in Southwest China: A Cross-sectional Study.

abstract：:Biological armors such as mollusk shells have long been recognized and studied for their values in inspiring novel designs of engineering materials with higher toughness and strength. However, no material is invincible and biological armors also have their rivals. In this paper, our attention is focused on the teeth o...
