Gestational hypertension and risk of atopic diseases in offspring, a national-wide cohort study
IntroductionGestational hypertension can lead to complications, such as preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is one of leading causes of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Abnormal placentation, immune dysregulation, and maternal inflammatory response are possible etiologies. The burden of atopic diseases is…

The de novo methylation activity of Dnmt3a is distinctly different than that of Dnmt1
BACKGROUND: Though Dnmt1 is considered the primary maintenance methyltransferase and Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b are considered de novo methyltransferases in mammals, these three enzymes may work together in maintaining as well as establishing DNA methylation patterns. It has been proposed that Dnmt1 may…

Novel Lines of Evidence for the Asymmetric Strand Displacement Model of Mitochondrial DNA Replication
The mitochondrial genome, which consists of 16,569 bp of DNA with a cytosine-rich light (L) strand and a heavy (H) strand, exists as a multicopy closed circular genome within the mitochondrial matrix. The machinery for replication of the mammalian mitochondrial genome is distinct from that for…

In Vivo Activity of Murine De Novo Methyltransferases, Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b
The putative de novo methyltransferases, Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b, were reported to have weak methyltransferase activity in methylating the 3′ long terminal repeat of Moloney murine leukemia virus in vitro. The activity of these enzymes was evaluated in vivo, using a stable episomal system that employs…

Evidence that Protein Binding Specifies Sites of DNA Demethylation
It has been hypothesized that protein factors may protect CpG islands from methyltransferase during development and that demethylation may involve protein-DNA interactions at demethylated sites. However, direct evidence has been lacking. In this study, demethylation at the EBNA-1 binding sites of…

Decreased Incidence of Intraventricular Hemorrhage in Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants Using Customized Circulatory Management to Evaluate the Hemodynamic Change of Patent Ductus Arteriosus
Background: In extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants, the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) with left-to-right shunt and an increase in systemic artery resistance may cause increasing preload and afterload of the left ventricle. The immature myocardium in ELBW infants has a limited ability to…

Development of hepatocellular carcinoma in treated and untreated patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is responsible for more than 50% of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in HBV hyperendemic areas, such as the Asia-Pacific region. Several hepatitis B viral factors are involved in HBV-related hepatocarcinogenesis. Hepatitis B viral load is the most important risk factor of HCC…

Hepatitis B viral factors and treatment responses in chronic hepatitis B
Baseline and on-treatment hepatitis B viral factors are reported to affect treatment responses. A lower baseline hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA level is a strong predictor of the response to antiviral therapy. HBV genotype A/B patients have better responses to interferon-based therapy than those with…
