Effectiveness and safety of protease inhibitors for the hepatitis C treatment in a hospital of South Brazil: real life data

The combination of Inhibitors of protease boceprevir (BOC) or telaprevir (TLV) concomitantly with peginterferon (PEG) and ribavirin (RBV) constitute the triple therapy (TT) for Hepatitis C treatment. Objective: To describe the experience of the TT treatment of chronic hepatitis C patients, besides discus...

O papel da concentração salivar e sérica da proteína SLPI (inibidor de protease secretada por leucócitos) na progressão do carcinoma epidermoide da cavidade bucal

Introdução: A avaliação dos processos inflamatórios em pacientes com tumores de boca é assunto atual na literatura científica. Poucos estudos, entretanto avaliaram a expressão da Proteína Inibidora de Protease Secretada por Leucócito (SLPI), marcador específico de inflamação, em pacientes co...

Curing Chronic Hepatitis C: A Cost Comparison of the Combination Simeprevir Plus Sofosbuvir vs. Protease-Inhibitor-Based Triple Therapy

Ann. hepatol; 16 (3), 2017
ABSTRACT Introduction. Interferon-free, multi-direct acting antiviral (DAA) therapy for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is highly effective and well tolerated, but costly. To gain perspective on the evolving economics of HCV therapy, we compared the cost per cure of a multi-DAA regimen with th...

Aplastic Anemia and Severe Myelosuppression with Boceprevir or Simeprevir-Containing Hepatitis C Virus Treatment

The combined antiretroviral therapy (cART), a multidrug combination regimen, usually consisting Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors, non- Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors and Protease Inhibitors has altered the morbidity pattern affecting HIV-infected individuals to include non-AIDS-de...

Papel das proteases na erosão dentinária

Na dentina, a matriz orgânica desmineralizada tem um papel protetor contra desafios erosivos subsequentes. Porém, essa camada pode ser degradada por proteases, como as metaloproteinases da matriz (MMPs) e cisteína catepsinas (CCs). Recentemente, o uso de inibidores de proteases da matriz surgiu como u...
