| silent transmission of the dengue virus in southern taiwan. | immunoglobulin m (igm) antibody to dengue virus was examined from a total of 3,099 serum samples collected in southern taiwan. of 1,232 sera collected from a junior high school and four elementary schools in liu-chiu, 35 were igm-positive, demonstrating that the dengue virus has been circulating on the island, despite the fact that no epidemic has been reported in the past 10 years. sixteen of 925 sera collected from three elementary schools in tung-kang in 1991 were found to be igm-positive and ... | 1996 | 8702015 |
| novel cytotoxic annonaceous acetogenins from annona muricata. | seven new annonaceous acetogenins, muricins a-g (1-7), as well as five known compounds, a mixture of muricatetrocin a (8) and muricatetrocin b (9), longifolicin (10), corossolin (11), and corossolone (12), were isolated from the seeds of annona muricata. the structures of all isolates were elucidated and characterized by spectral and chemical methods. these acetogenins showed significantly selective in vitro cytotoxicities toward the human hepatoma cell lines hep g(2) and 2,2,15. | 2001 | 11473425 |
| determinants of fast repeat migrations of the labor force: evidence from the linked national survey data of taiwan. | "the main objectives of this paper are (1) to identify the determinants of job-related fast repeat migrations of individuals in the civilian labor force of taiwan, and (2) to examine whether the effects of these determinants are largely consistent with the existing theories and with the findings of other empirical studies. our study is based on the linked microdata of the annual national migration surveys of taiwan from 1980 through 1989.... we review the main theories of repeat migrations and f ... | 1999 | 12322173 |
| decreasing rates of resistance to penicillin, but not erythromycin, in streptococcus pneumoniae after introduction of a policy to restrict antibiotic usage in taiwan. | a 16% decline in rates of penicillin resistance in streptococcus pneumoniae isolates in taiwan between 1998--1999 (25%) and 2001 (9%) was associated with a 46% decrease in total penicillin and other cephalosporin usage in 2001 compared with 1999. however, erythromycin resistance in s. pneumoniae remained high (94%), despite a 45% decrease in macrolide consumption between 1999 and 2001. | 2005 | 16216110 |
| functional assays of hla a2-restricted epitope variant of latent membrane protein 1 (lmp-1) of epstein-barr virus in nasopharyngeal carcinoma of southern china and taiwan. | human leukocyte antigen (hla) a2 was consistently associated with increased risk for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (npc) in chinese populations. previously we have reported that an epstein-barr virus (ebv) strain carrying an hla a2-restricted epitope variant of lmp-1 is prevalent in npc in southern china and taiwan (lin et al., j. gen. virol. 85: 2023-2034, 2004). the variant has mutation selectively involved one of the two anchor residues in position 2 (125 l-->f) and an additional mutation in posit ... | 2005 | 16307312 |
| seroprevalence of antibodies to pandemic (h1n1) 2009 influenza virus among hospital staff in a medical center in taiwan. | the pandemic (h1n1) 2009 influenza emerged in april 2009 and spread rapidly and broadly all over the world. in addition to specific antiviral agents, massive vaccination is thought to be the most effective way of controlling the transmission. to understand the prevaccination status of certain risk groups, this study compared the baseline sero-prevalence of antibodies to the pandemic (h1n1) 2009 influenza virus among hospital staff with different contact risks and that of the general population. | 2010 | 20171584 |
| association of vntr polymorphisms in the maoa promoter and drd4 exon 3 with heroin dependence in male chinese addicts. | to explore the involvement of variable number tandem repeat (vntr) polymorphisms in the monoamine oxidase a (maoa) promoter and exon 3 of the dopamine d4 receptor (drd4) gene in heroin addiction modulate the vulnerability of individuals to heroin addiction. | 2010 | 20218801 |
| hepatitis c virus seromarkers and subsequent risk of hepatocellular carcinoma: long-term predictors from a community-based cohort study. | hepatitis c virus (hcv) contributes to one third of hepatocellular carcinoma cases worldwide. long-term predictors for hcv-related hepatocellular carcinoma are essential for early intervention. serum hcv rna and alt levels and hcv genotype were assessed for their predictability of hepatocellular carcinoma risk. | 2010 | 20855826 |
| traumatic brain injury causes frontotemporal dementia and tdp-43 proteolysis. | traumatic brain injury (tbi) is a major risk factor for dementia. recently, tbi has also been suggested as a risk factor for frontotemporal dementia (ftd), and plasma immunoreactivity to the tar-dna binding protein 43 (tdp-43) has been observed in both patients with acute tbi and long-term survivors of this condition. we used a population-based study to estimate and compare the risk of ftd in individuals with and without tbi. furthermore, we used a rat model of tbi to show that increased tdp-43 ... | 2015 | 25982564 |
