It is recognized by two main characteristics: absence of HBsAg, and low viral replication. The previous two decades have witnessed a remarkable progress in our understanding of OBI and its clinical implications. Appropriate diagnostic techniques must be adopted. Sensitive HBV DNA amplification assay is the gold standard assay for detection of OBI. Viral as well as host factors are implicated in the pathogenesis of OBI. However, published data reporting the infectivity of OBI by transfusion are limited. Several aspects including OBI transmission, infectivity and its relation to the development of chronic liver diseases and hepatocellular carcinoma have to be resolved. The aim of the present review is to highlight recent data on OBI with a focus on its virological diagnosis and clinical outcome.展开更多

Compared with other biological nanopores and solid-state nanopores, the glass capillary nanopore has low cost, easy availability and stable mechanical characteristics, thus it has been widely used in the nanopore technology for single molecule detection. In this review, we will focus on the studies of the glass nanopore sensors. The popular glass nanopore fabrication methods would be introduced, and the applications of glass nanopores in the detection of nanoparticles, proteins and DNA molecules would be presented. We hope this review will help widen field of vision and promote the development of the nanopore technology based on the glass capillary nanopores.展开更多
