Kinetics of hepatitis B viral load during 48 weeks of treatment with 600 mg vs 100 mg of lamivudine daily.

abstract：:Injecting behaviour in people who inject drugs is the main risk factor for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Psychosocial factors such as having a partner who injects drugs and living with other drug users have been associated with increases in injecting risk behaviour. This study aimed to investigate changes in inje...

abstract：:Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a human hepatotropic virus, but many hepatoma cell lines are not permissive to this virus. In a previous study, we observed that SNU-182, SNU-398 and SNU-449 hepatoma cell lines were nonpermissive to HCV. To understand the nonpermissivity, we evaluated the ability of each cell line to suppor...
