Journal ArticleDOI
Chili protects against aspirin-induced gastroduodenal mucosal injury in humans.
TL;DR: The median gastric injury score after chili was 1.5 compared to 4 in the control group (P<0.05), demonstrating a gastroprotective effect of chili in human subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recombinant DNA hepatitis B vaccine containing Pre-S components of the HBV coat protein--a preliminary study on immunogenicity.
Yap I,Richard Guan,S. H. Chan +2 more
TL;DR: A high level anti-HBs response to Sci-B-Vac was indicative of its immunogenicity and an immunogenic advantage was suggested by the rapid onset of antibody response.
Journal Article
Fine needle aspiration biopsy of hepatocellular carcinoma: diagnostic dilemma at the ends of the spectrum
TL;DR: The general inclination is still toward a diagnosis of HCC if the aspirate is from a focal lesion or lesions in a hepatitis B surface antigen-positive, cirrhotic liver, and the serum AFP levels are not always elevated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of cost-effectiveness of different strategies for hepatocellular carcinoma screening in hepatitis B virus carriers.
TL;DR: A mathematical model was used to calculate the efficacy of screening to detect hepatocellular carcinoma at a resectable stage in hepatitis B virus carriers, and the results would be significantly altered if tumour growth times were markedly different from those reported in the literature.
Journal Article
Fine needle aspiration biopsy of hepatocellular carcinoma. Some unusual features.
TL;DR: The cytologic features of fine needle aspiration smears from 28 hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) were reviewed and the identification of fatty change in dissociated well-differentiated hepatocytes or cytologic Features suggestive of an adenocarcinoma do not preclude the diagnosis of HCC.
