Abstract

Objective: To understand and compare the differences between age, sex and liver diseases-related mortality risk in patients with hepatitis B virus-related liver cirrhosis. Methods: Based on the front-page inpatient medical record database and the death registration system of Beijing patients with hepatitis B-related liver cirrhosis from 2008 to 2015 were included. The survival information of all patients were traced up to the occurrence of liver disease-related mortality event or until December 31, 2019. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the cumulative incidence of liver disease-related mortality in patients with liver cirrhosis. Cox regression model was used to analyze the effect of age-gender interaction on liver disease-related mortality risk. Results: A total of 16 738 patients with hepatitis B-related liver cirrhosis were included, of which 13 969 cases (83.46%) were in compensated stage and 2 769 cases (16.54%) were in decompensated stage. Liver cirrhosis complications mortality risk in patients with compensated stage cirrhosis at 3, 5, and 8 years were 10.84%, 12.70%, and 14.37%, respectively; while in decompensated stage patients, the mortality risk was 16.70%, 19.02%, and 20.73%, respectively. The 3, 5, and 8-y...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
