Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major risk factor for developing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The host genetic factors that are involved in the development of HCC in patients with HCV infection remain to be investigated. To search for single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in HCC susceptib

The purpose of this study was to determine whether interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 gene polymorphisms were markers of susceptibility to or severity of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Chinese patients. The study included 150 Chinese patients with SLE. A total of 130 unrelated healthy individuals li
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most frequent malignant neoplasms worldwide, and is the second leading cause of cancer death in Taiwan. Eβcadherin is an epithelial cell adhesion molecule, and decreased Eβcadherin expression in HCC is associated
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after liver transplantation (LT) remains a major cause of postβLT death. However, currently there is still lacking the markers to reliably predict recurrence. This study was undertaken to evaluate the association
