Emilio Fábrega, Marcos López‐Hoyos, David San Segundo, Fernando Casafont, Fernando Pons‐Romero – 28 May 2009 – Interleukin‐23 (IL‐23) and T helper 17 (Th17) cells have been cast as major players in autoimmunity, but their role in transplantation immunity remains to be specified. The aim of our study was to investigate the time course of serum levels of IL‐23 and IL‐17 during hepatic allograft rejection. Serum levels of IL‐23 and IL‐17 were determined in 20 healthy subjects and 50 hepatic transplant recipients.

Dar‐In Tai, Shi‐Ming Lin, I‐Shyan Sheen, Chia‐Ming Chu, Deng‐Yn Lin, Yun‐Fan Liaw – 28 May 2009 – The baseline alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level was reported to have prognostic value in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, during which ALT may change over time. Instead of baseline ALT, this study aimed to study the prognostic value of the height of ALT during the course of chronic HBV infection.
