Filter by:This study is a randomized control prospective study. The aim of this study is to establish an all-round and convenient follow-up strategy of Chronic Hepatitis B for early detection and diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC), by investigating whether different surveillance time intervals and surveillance methods are beneficial for chronic hepatitis B and cirrhotic patients with different risk of HCC.
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an emerging disease. The genotype 1 and 2 are predominant in Asia and Africa, and are responsible for recurrent epidemics. Genotype 3 is the main genotype found in Europe and North America and is responsible for sporadic infections except for travel associated diseases. HEV had a principally asymptomatic form. However, it was recently demonstrated that it could lead to a chronic form, especially in immunosuppressed patients. Moreover, in liver transplanted patients the infection could mimic a rejection and lead to the loss of the transplant. In other immunosuppressed patients, chronic hepatitis lead to cirrhosis and its well-known complications (ascitis, digestive hemorrhage, liver failure...). There is a lack of information about the prevalence of this disease. In Canada the incidence of HEV infection was high (15-86% for liver transplanted children with liver tests disturbed). In Germany the prevalence was lower: 3,2% in liver & kidney transplanted children whereas 7,4% in control. It was shown in a retrospective study that in liver (and liver+kidney) transplanted children the prevalence in Lyon was around 8,3%. This study will determined in a prospective approach the HEV prevalence in kidney, lung, heart and bone marrow transplanted children in Lyon.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a challenging health problem. According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 240 million individuals (3.7%) suffered from chronic HBV infection worldwide. After acute hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the disappearance of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) had generally been believed to signify viral elimination. However, it now becomes clear that those subjects may have occult HBV infection which is defined as the presence of HBV DNA in the liver in the absence of HBsAg in the serum. Occult HBV infection usually accompanies antibody against hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) and/or antibody against HBsAg (anti-HBs), but some cases might not have these serological markers (seronegative occult HBV infection) .
More than two billion individuals have serological evidence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection worldwide. Of these, 240 million are chronic carriers and approximately 786,000 hepatitis B related deaths occur annually. Currently available hepatitis B vaccines are extremely safe and have an efficacy of >90 percent against all HBV serotypes and genotypes. Thus, HBV infection can potentially be eradicated through global vaccination. A positive immune response to the vaccine is defined as the development of hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) at a titer of >10 mIU/mL. Although anti-HBs titers decrease with time, the duration of protection is long. Protection has been estimated to persist for up to 22 years after the primary vaccination schedule. Protection from clinical disease, despite declining or even undetectable anti-HBs levels, is probably due to the priming of memory cells, which are capable of eliciting an anamnestic response when challenged. This is supported by the rapid increases in anti-HBs titers in previously vaccinated individuals who administered booster injections.
There has been no report on whether the patients with colorectal cancer who are also inactive Hepatitis B Carriers should receive Prophylactic Use or preemptive Use of an Anti-viral Drug Entecavir. This open, randomized controlled clinical trial aims to compare the impact of the prophylactic use or preemptive use of an anti-viral drug Entecavir on the outcomes of patients with colorectal cancer who are also inactive hepatitis B carriers during chemotherapy and the subsequent follow-ups.
There has been no report on whether the patients with gastric cancer who are also inactive Hepatitis B carriers should receive prophylactic use or preemptive Use of an Anti-viral Drug Entecavir. This open, randomized controlled clinical trial aims to compare the impact of the prophylactic use or preemptive use of an anti-viral drug Entecavir on the outcomes of patients with gastric cancer who are also inactive hepatitis B carriers during chemotherapy and the subsequent follow-ups.
NPC1L1 is a key transporter in the enterohepatic cycle of cholesterol. Initial in vitro and in vivo data show that blocking this receptor with ezetimibe results in delaying infection in these models. The investigators hypothesize that HCV has an enterohepatic cycle, being secreted in bile and reabsorbed either in the canalicular membrane or in the intestine by association with NPC1L1, following a path similar to the cycle of cholesterol in humans. To prove this hypothesis the investigators propose to assess the effect of ezetimibe treatment in HCV infected individuals undergoing liver transplantation to avoid or delay HCV infection. For this purpose, the investigators propose to administrate ezetimibe 10 mg/d for 12 weeks to 12 patients with chronic hepatitis C infection listed for a liver transplantation.
The purpose of this study is to further evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of 10μg/0.5ml Recombinant Hepatitis B Vaccines(Saccharomyces Cerevisiae) in the Healthy Neonates.
As HBsAg clearance is uncommon in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients on nucleoside analogues (NAs) therapy. The purpose of this study is to optimize HBsAg clearance in CHB Patients with sequential treatment of pegylated interferon alpha and NAs.
