| Research Abstract |
In Japan, there are over two million hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected people. HCV infection is the nation's largest infection. On the other hand, HCV causes various kinds of extrahepatic manifestations as well as liver diseases. Oral lichen planus (OLP), Sjogren's syndrome are the representative diseases of extrahepatic manifestations. It was found that an insulin resistance that HCV infection caused was associatedwith not only oralcancerbut alsothemultipleprimaryneoplasm.Furthermore, we clarified follows: (1) Dental problems delaying the initiation of interferon (IFN) therapy for HCV-infected patients, (2) branched-chain amino acids (BCAA)-enriched supplementincludingzincimprovesthesensitivitytotasteinpatientswith HCV-infected liver disease, (3) Candidiasis and other oral mucosal lesions during and after IFN therapy for HCV-related chronic liver diseases, (4) A retrospective case-control study of HCV infection and OLP in Japan: association study with mutations in the core and N5A region of HCV.
