## Abstract ## Background We investigated the optimum conditions for gene transfer into the liver by injection of plasmid via the portal vein combined with electroporation. ## Methods In anesthetized 7βweekβold male Shionogi Wistar rats, a tapered 3Fr. catheter was inserted through a branch of t

## Abstract ## Background Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has multiple biological effects on a wide variety of cells. It modulates intestinal epithelial proliferation and migration, and critically regulates intestinal wound healing. ## Aims To investigate the therapeutic effect of HGF gene transf
## Abstract ## Background Previous studies demonstrating the efficacy of insulin gene therapy have mostly involved use of adenoviral vectors or naked DNA to deliver the insulin gene. However, this procedure may not guarantee longβterm insulin production. To improve the performance, we prepared rec
