Research Interest

Dr. Liu Xudong research interests are hepatitis virus and microbiology associated with liver disease. I was principal investigator or co-author of original papers reporting a possible novel mechanism that indicates how CpG DNA of Hepatitis B virus may contribute to the malignant transformation of benign liver cells. I also presented in an original paper that bacteria may be ignored by immune systems and directly promote adhesion and invasion of hepatoma cells through lipopolysaccharide. A ongoing study, supported by Guangxi Natural Science Funds, is about the affect of hepatitis B virus surface antigen on liver fibrosis.
