AIM to assess the safety and efficacy of telbivudine therapy in adult patients with CHB in Indonesia. METHODS the study design was prospective cohort study. Multicenter study of adult CHB patients requiring oral antiviral therapy in daily practice setting. All patients received 600 mg of telbivudine daily for one year. Recruitment and decision to start telbivudine therapy was based on clinica...
Each phase of hepatitis B infection stimulates distinct viral kinetics and host immune responses resulting in liver damage and hepatic fibrosis. Our objective has been to correlate host inflammatory immune response including circulating Th1 and Th2 cytokines in patients with chronic hepatitis B infection with liver histopathology. Sixty-four patients with chronic hepatitis B without previous tr...
BACKGROUND Lamivudine has been shown to be an efficient drug for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) treatment. AIM To investigate predictive factors of response, using a quantitative method with high sensitivity. METHODS We carried out a prospective trial of lamivudine in 35 patients with CHB and evidence for viral replication, regardless to their HBeAg status. Lamivudine was given for 12 months at ...
There are about 350 million chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers worldwide. A proactive approach to the management of this disease is likely to reduce the morbidity and mortality caused by HBV. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of a novel tool for discriminating between infected and noninfected subjects, the hepatitis B sAg/eAg test (Binax Inc., Portland, Maine). The t...
Weak T-cell reactivity to hepatitis B virus (HBV) is thought to be the dominant cause for chronic HBV infection. Treatment with adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) increases the rate of HBV e antigen (HBeAg) loss; however, the immune mechanisms associated with this treatment response are not understood. Serial analysis of HBV-specific CD4+ T-cell reactivity was performed during 48 weeks of therapy with AD...
BACKGROUND/AIMS Although there have been a few reports regarding the effect of basal core promoter (BCP) double mutations (A1762T and G1764A) on hepatitis B viral loads, the association remains uncertain. We aim to determine the association after controlling for HBeAg - a strong confounding factor. METHODS We selected randomly 190 individuals from a Chinese cohort of 2258 subjects for cross-s...
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a serious and life-threatening disease afflicting 350 million of the world's population. So far, current monotherapy with conventional interferon-alpha, lamivudine, and adefovir dipivoxil remains unsatisfactory. In addition, the use of conventional interferon-alpha needs to be administered subcutaneously daily or thrice weekly and is associated with frequent a...
The aim of this study was to determine the neopterin levels and peripheral blood lymphocyte subgroups in HBeAg-positive and -negative chronic hepatitis B patients. A total of 89 patients were included in the study. The mean serum neopterin level of patients with chronic hepatitis B was significantly higher than that of the control group. In HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B patients, the mean ...
The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between dynamic changes in serum cytokine/chemokine expression levels in response to entecavir (ETV) treatment and HBV e antigen (HBeAg) seroconversion in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Four cytokines (interleukin [IL]-4, IL-6, IL-8, and interferon-γ) and five chemokines (macro-phage inflammatory protein [MIP]-1α, MIP-1β, platelet...
A number of nucleoside analogues such as lamivudine (LAM), actually used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B, can suppress HBV DNA replication, improve transaminase level and liver histology, and enhance the rate of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) clearance. The responses to LAM therapy involve HBeAg clearance and HBV DNA conversion of negative. However, the associations between HBV genotype...
