| genomic aberrations in human hepatocellular carcinomas of differing etiologies. | we sought to assess whether genetic abnormalities in hepatocellular carcinoma differed in geographic locations associated with different risk factors. comparative genomic hybridization (cgh) was applied to the genome-wide chromosomal analysis in 83 tumor samples from four different geographic origins. samples were obtained from regions that differed in aflatoxin exposure: china (hong kong with low aflatoxin exposure and shanghai with moderate aflatoxin exposure), japan, and the united states (ne ... | 2000 | 11051249 |
| hcv subtype characterization among injection drug users: implication for a crucial role of zhenjiang in hcv transmission in china. | hcv transmission is closely associated with drug-trafficking routes in china. however, the transmission route of hcv in eastern china remains unclear. here, we investigate the role of zhenjiang city of jiangsu province, an important transportation hub linking shanghai with other regions of china, in hcv transmission. | 2011 | 21304823 |

| a cohort study of serum testosterone and hepatocellular carcinoma in shanghai, china. | a nested case-control study of hcc based on a cohort of 18,244 middle-aged men in shanghai, china, who had been followed for an average of 5.3 years, was conducted. our hypothesis dealt with the possible role of testosterone in the etiology of hcc, which shows a minimum of a 2- to 3-fold male excess in all populations world-wide. seventy-six incident cases of hcc and 410 control subjects drawn from the cohort and individually matched to the cases by age (within 1 year), time of blood sample coll ... | 1995 | 7591255 |
| virological features of hepatitis c virus infection in patients with liver diseases in the inshore area of the yangtze river. | the prevalence, genotypes, coinfection and putative core gene sequence of hepatitis c virus (hcv) were investigated in the inshore area of the yangtze river, where hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) is thought to be very common. most patients with liver diseases were infected with hepatitis b virus (hbv), but the incidence of anti-hcv was very low, being 3.4% in patients with acute hepatitis, and approximately 7% in those with chronic liver diseases. the rate of coinfection with hbv and hcv in patie ... | 1994 | 7524191 |
