Open AccessSerum IL-1β predicts de novo hepatitis B virus reactivation during direct-acting antiviral therapy for hepatitis C, not during anti-cancer/immunosuppressive therapy
De novo hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation occurs during direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatment in hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients with resolved HBV infection. We evaluated the predictive factors,...

Colorimetric Sensor for Thiocyanate Based on Anti-aggregation of Gold Nanoparticles in the Presence of 2-Aminopyridine
Based on the anti-aggregation mechanism of citrate stabilized gold nanoparticle (AuNPs), a new specific and sensitive colorimetric sensor for thiocyanate (SCN−) was developed. In this scheme, the AuNPs were aggre...
