Prevalence and long-term effects of occult hepatitis B virus infection in HIV-infected women.

2007

Authors: Tsui JI, French AL, Seaberg EC, Augenbraun M, Nowicki M, Peters M, Tien PC

View Abstract

Occult hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is of concern in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected persons. We observed that 2% of 400 HIV-infected women with antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen alone had occult HBV infection (i.e., detectable HBV DNA in the absence of HBV surface antigen). CD4 cell counts of <200 cells/mm3 were more common among occult HBV-infected women than among those without occult HBV infection. Aminotransferase levels did not appear to be associated with being positive for HBV DNA.

Untangling klotho's role in calcium homeostasis.

2007

Authors: Strewler GJ

View Abstract

klotho was first described as an aging gene and was later shown to be a regulator of phosphate and vitamin D metabolism, acting as a coreceptor for FGF23. Imura et al. (2007) now report that klotho also regulates calcium homeostasis.
