These preliminary results demonstrate that the combination of the two ELISA methods increased the positive rate of anti-p53 antibodies in patients with ovarian cancer and provided a useful marker to complement routine clinical diagnosis for patients with ovarian cancer.
Objective: To investigate the treatment efficacy of adefovir dipivoxil combined with a corticosteroid on hepatitis B virus-associated glomerulonephritis (HBV-GN). Methods: A total of 38 patients with nephrotic syndrome induced by HBV-GN were treated for 36 weeks between 2010 and 2012. Results: The efficacy analysis showed that 11 patients achieved complete remission and 17 patients achieved partial remission, and the effective remission rate was 73.7%. In addition, 10 patients achieved no remission. Conclusions: Adefovir dipivoxil combined with corticosteroids has a certain efficacy on the HBV-GN and displays few adverse reactions. A large sample, randomized double-blind controlled study and long-term follow-up are needed to verify the efficacy of adefovir dipivoxil combined with corticosteroids.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
