Up to date,in literature,it is still debated the role of anti-tumor necrosis factors(TNF)-α treatments in hepatitis C virus(HCV) patients.TNF-α performs a lot of functions,it is an important pro-inflammatory cytokine and it is involved in the host’s immunity.Since TNF-α is implicated in the apoptotic signaling pathway of hepatocytes infected by HCV,anti TNF-α therapy may increase the risk of viral replication or their reactivation.However the treatment of anti TNF-α could have a healthful role because TNF-α appears to be engaged in the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis,inducing apoptotic pathways.We describe the case of a patient with plaquetype psoriasis and concomitant chronic HCV,who was treated successfully with anti-TNF agents simultaneously to cyclosporine without sign of reactivation of HCV and increase of liver enzymes.Our personal experience shows that anti-TNF-α agents are not only effective but also safe.Furthermore the combination therapy of cyclosporine and anti-TNF-α appears to be well-tolerated and able to reduce the amount of liver enzymes as well as HCV-viral-load.However systematic,large-scale studies with long follow-ups will be needed to confirm our results,in association with close liver function monitoring.

认识一青年才俊,刚刚30岁出头,年薪就接近百万。  即便优秀得如此出类拔萃,也不能保证他日子过得舒畅。他整天不是在机场,就是在前往机场的路上,忙得把娶妻生子的大事都耽误了。  对于这类高人,我一向喜欢用鄙视掩饰妒忌。在我看来,他们的人生哲学,大不了就是“以最大的付出,换取最大的回报”,而我算计的是如何“用最小的付出,获得恰好够用的生计”。毕竟人生苦短,何必把自己搞得像宠物店蹬飞轮的松鼠?  为此,

爱情本是一个模糊不清、无边无际的影子,大可以美而化之;而婚姻却将这个影子定格为一个完整而清晰的现实人形,所以常常遭人诟病。因为短暂,爱情的形式可以有很多,梁祝的生死相随是,许仙蛇精的殊世之恋是,泰坦尼克号勇敢的独活是,为爱而作奸犯科的又何尝不是?而婚姻很长,长长的人生就是它的形式。懂得厚积薄发,懂得见好就收,懂得量力而行,懂得适可而止,这样,婚姻才能与人生齐寿。  婚姻是一种决定。受异性、利益吸引
