An escalating dose regimen of pegylated interferon and ribavirin in HCV cirrhotic patients referred for liver transplant.

13 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: To lessen the severity of recurrent hepatitis C virus (HCV) postliver transplantation (post-LT) by treating HCV patients with cirrhosis, we assessed the safety and efficacy of an escalating dose pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN)/ribavirin ... Read more...

Development of gastroenterology and hepatology in Iran: Part II- advances in research and therapeutic modalities.

30 Aug 2009 Following the establishment of Gastroenterology and Hepatology Fellowship Programs in 1987, significant developments in research and health care delivery have been achieved. The number of published articles has increased significantly and now more ... Read more...

Antifibrotic effect through the regulation of transcription factor using ring type-Sp1 decoy oligodeoxynucleotide in carbon tetrachloride-induced liver fibrosis.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Liver fibrosis is characterized by the excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM). Recent advances in the knowledge about the cellular, molecular and genetic aspects of fibrosis have opened a new era of research on liver ... Read more...
