TGFBRAP1 and TGFBR2 play important roles in the TGF-β/smad signalling pathway and may disturb liver homeostasis by regulating liver injury and renewal. However, little is known about the association between their genetic polymorphisms and antituberculosis drug-induced liver injury (ATDILI), so we explored the association between their variants and the susceptibility to ATDILI.

- High HbA 1c level is correlated with blood-brain barrier disruption in syphilis patientsAbstract Diabetes mellitus (DM) and neurosyphilis (NS) may both damage the blood-brain barrier (BBB). It seems that non-neurosyphilis (non-NS) patients with high HbA1c levels are likely to develop into NS. However, the correlation of HbA1c level with BBB disruption in syphilis (non-NS) patients is unclear. In this study, we used dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI to quantify regional BBB permeability in syphilis (non-NS) patie
