107), ALT (p = 0.925), serum albumin (p = 0.212) between CX 5461 4 groups, platelet count was significantly decreased along with the extension of cysts volume (p = 0.030). Overall, mean FANLTC score and FACT-Hep were 71.8 ± 12.5, and

32.4 ± 5.8, respectively. FANLTC (p = 0.017) and FACT-Hep (p = 0.003) were significantly decreased with the increasing cyst volume. Conclusion: In this cross-sectional report, we could clear the relationship between liver cyst volume and QOL in ADPKD patients. We will show the long-term influence on QOL in this ongoing prospective longitudinal study.

Polymorphisms in promoter region (G-800A (rs1800468) and C-509T (rs1800469)) of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), gene play a pivotal role in several infectious diseases but the association of these polymorphisms with recurrent UTI SPTLC1 is still

unavailable. The correlation of TGF-β1 G-800A and C-509T polymorphisms with recurrent UTI young women was assessed in this study. Methods: This study was conducted with case-control study, TGF-β1 G-800A and C-509T polymorphisms among 34 recurrent UTI patients and 34 healthy subjects, that were aged 15–50 years old, adjusted

in 5 year differences, were evaluated with polymerase chain reaction – restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and confirmed by DNA sequencing. All of the subjects were collected in the same hospital and diagnosed in the same day as in the clinic. This study was conducted with the approval of the Ethics Committee of School of Medicine, Syiah Kuala University, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. The subject recruitment and sample collection were done only after obtaining written informed consent of the participants. Results: At position −800 genotypes and allele frequencies showed no significant differences between recurrent UTI patients (GG 97.1%; GA 2.9%; AA 0%) and normal control (GG 97%; GA 0%; AA 2.9%) young women. Dominant and recessive models analysis also did not find significant correlation between recurrent UTI patients and normal control young women. At -509 position, genotypes and allele frequencies showed no significant differences between recurrent UTI patients (CC 20.6%; CT 61.8%; TT 17.7%) and control individuals (CC 2.9%; CT 73.6%; TT 23.5%). However, a significant correlation were found in this study in dominant model analysis (p = 0.027).
