Journal ArticleDOI
Spread times of hepatitis C virus estimated by the molecular clock differ among Japan, the United States and Egypt in reflection of their distinct socioeconomic backgrounds.
TL;DR: Infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is taking an ever increasing role in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) over the world as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Classifying genotype F of hepatitis B virus into F1 and F2 subtypes.
Hideaki Kato,Kei Fujiwara,Robert G. Gish,Hiroshi Sakugawa,Hiroshi Yoshizawa,Fuminaka Sugauchi,Etsuro Orito,Ryuzo Ueda,Yasuhito Tanaka,Takanobu Kato,Yuzo Miyakawa,Masashi Mizokami +11 more
TL;DR: Classifying HBV/F isolates into two subtypes (F1 and F2) would be more appropriate than providing them with two distinct genotypes (F and H).
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular dissection of HBV evasion from restriction factor tetherin: A new perspective for antiviral cell therapy
Kei Miyakawa,Satoko Matsunaga,Koichi Watashi,Masaya Sugiyama,Hirokazu Kimura,Naoki Yamamoto,Masashi Mizokami,Takaji Wakita,Akihide Ryo +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that HBV surface protein (HBs) plays a crucial role in counteracting the IFN-induced antiviral response mediated by tetherin (also known as BST-2), and strategies to augment the antiviral activity of tetherin by impeding tetherin-HBs interactions may be viable as a therapeutic intervention against HBV.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pyogenic granuloma of the stomach successfully treated by endoscopic resection after transarterial embolization of the feeding artery
Atsunori Kusakabe,Hideaki Kato,Katsuo Hayashi,Tsuyoshi Igami,Hiroshi Hasegawa,Toyonori Tsuzuki,Ryuzo Ueda,Masashi Mizokami +7 more
TL;DR: An 82-year-old man admitted to hospital because of melena of more than 3 months, duration, was diagnosed as a pyogenic granuloma arising from the gastric mucosa and there was no evidence of tumor recurrence on follow-up EGD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular and humoral immune reactions against autoantigens and hepatitis C viral antigens in chronic hepatitis C
John Koskinas,B.M. McFarlane,Kayhan T. Nouri-Aria,Christopher J. Tibbs,Masashi Mizokami,Peter T. Donaldson,Ian G. McFarlane,Roger Williams +7 more
TL;DR: Specific immunocompetence against HCV-related antigens can often be shown in patients with chronic hepatitis C but is infrequently accompanied by autoreactions against liver-specific or nonspecific antIGens.
