Rheumatology (Oxford) 47:1422-5. 2008..To assess the annual direct, indirect and total societal costs, quality of life (QoL) of AS in a Chinese population in Hong Kong and determine the cost determinants...
Short-term efficacy of combination methotrexate and infliximab in patients with ankylosing spondylitis: a clinical and magnetic resonance imaging correlationE K Li
Department of Medicine and Therapeutics, Prince of Wales Hospital, Hong Kong, China
Rheumatology (Oxford) 47:1358-63. 2008..To examine the short-term efficacy and safety of MTX in combination with infliximab compared with infliximab and placebo in the treatment of AS using MRI to monitor its effect...
Economic analysis of four triple regimens for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori-related peptic ulcer disease in in-patient and out-patient settings in Hong KongJ H You
School of Pharmacy, Faculty of Medicine, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China
Aliment Pharmacol Ther 15:1009-15. 2001..One-week triple regimens have been shown to be effective for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori-related peptic ulcer disease...
Identification and purification of an intrinsic human muscle myogenic factor that enhances muscle repair and regenerationM Li
Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Prince of Wales Hospital, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, NT
Arch Biochem Biophys 384:263-8. 2000..These newly regenerated fibers originated from the fusion of differentiated satellite cells as revealed by BrdU-labeling analysis. In contrast, the injury site of muscles treated with BSA control protein contained mainly fibroblasts...

Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, Hong Kong
Dev Dyn 209:206-16. 1997..Finally, we used in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical techniques to determine the distribution of myogenic cells and FGF-2 protein in the day 11.5 mouse forelimbs...
Substitution for natural musk in Pien Tze Huang does not affect its hepatoprotective activitiesW Y Chan
Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, Hong Kong, China
Hum Exp Toxicol 23:35-47. 2004..It is also postulated that both formulations protect the liver through regulating signal transduction in the cell...
