Filter by:Pegylated interferon α-2a(Peg-IFN-α) not only inhibit viral replication, but also play an important role in immune regulation, while Nucleoside analog(ue) drugs only inhibit viral replication. In hepatitis B infection, cytokines played a vital role. This study was aimed at investigating the changes of cytokines during Peg-IFN-αand nucleoside analog(ue) therapy.Meanwhile, the investigators wanted to verify whether Peg-IFN-α therapy resulted in the secretion of cytokines.
Pegylated interferon α-2a(Peg-IFN-α) not only inhibit viral replication, but also play an important role in immune regulation, while Nucleoside analog(ue) drugs only inhibit viral replication. In hepatitis B infection, Treg cells Regulatory T cells played a negative role in immune. This study was aimed at investigating the changes of Treg cells frequency and function, and the expression of costimulatory molecules during Peg-IFN-αand nucleoside analog(ue) therapy.Meanwhile, the investigators wanted to verify whether Peg-IFN-α suppressed the virus, which led to the decline of Treg cells frequency and function;negative regulation of Tregs for immune cells diminished, hence, the function of immune cells recovered.
Pegylated interferon(IFN) α-2a(Peg-IFN-α) not only inhibit viral replication, but also play an important role in immune regulation, while entecavir(ETV) drugs only inhibit viral replication. In hepatitis B infection, Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells（pDCs） are the main effector cells in early antiviral innate immune response. This study was aimed at investigating the changes of pDCs frequency and function, and the expression of costimulatory molecules CD86(Cluster of Differentiation antigen 86) during Peg-IFN-αand entecavir(ETV) therapy.Meanwhile, investigators want to verify whether Peg-IFN-α suppressed the virus and the reduction of virus led to the recovery of pDCs function, or Peg-IFN-α enhanced pDCs function which gave rise to the decline of the virus.
Pregnant women carry high HBV DNA loads before delivery, which is the most important factor leading to mother-to-child transmission of HBV. Nucleoside analogue antiviral treatment during late pregnancy can significantly reduce the incidence of HBV MTCT, but security problems of using NA treatment during pregnancy has not been eliminated, Therefore, the aim of our study is to explore the effect of starting to use Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate(TDF) antiviral treatment from the 32 weeks of gestation to block mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus(HBV MTCT).
Pegylated interferon α-2a(Peg-IFN-α) not only inhibit viral replication, but also play an important role in immune regulation, while Nucleoside analog(ue) drugs only inhibit viral replication. In hepatitis B infection, CD8+T cells are the main effector cells in adaptive immune response. This study was aimed at investigating the changes of CD8+T cells frequency and function, and the expression of costimulatory molecules during Peg-IFN-αand nucleoside analog(ue) therapy.Meanwhile, the investigators want to verify whether Peg-IFN-α suppressed the virus and the reduction of virus led to the recovery of CD8+T cells function, or Peg IFN - alpha enhanced CD8+T cells function which gave rise to the decline of the virus.
Pegylated interferon α-2a(Peg-IFN-α) not only inhibit viral replication, but also play an important role in immune regulation, while Nucleoside analog(ue) drugs only inhibit viral replication. In hepatitis B infection, CD4+T Cells are the main effector cells in adaptive immune response. This study was aimed at investigating the changes of CD4+T Cells frequency and function, and the expression of costimulatory molecules during Peg-IFN-αand nucleoside analog(ue) therapy.Meanwhile, the investigators want to verify whether Peg IFN - alpha suppressed the virus and the reduction of virus led to the recovery of CD4+T Cells function, or Peg IFN - alpha enhanced CD4+T Cells function which gave rise to the decline of the virus.
Pegylated interferon α-2a(Peg-IFN-α) not only inhibit viral replication, but also play an important role in immune regulation, while Nucleoside analog(ue) drugs only inhibit viral replication. In hepatitis B infection, NKs are the main effector cells in early antiviral innate immune response. This study was aimed at investigating the changes of NKs frequency and function, and the expression of costimulatory molecules during Peg-IFN-αand nucleoside analog(ue) therapy.Meanwhile, investigators want to verify whether Peg IFN - alpha suppressed the virus and the reduction of virus led to the recovery of NKs function, or Peg IFN - alpha enhanced NKs function which gave rise to the decline of the virus.
To determine the treatment efficacy, safety and long-term outcomes of chronic hepatitis C patients receiving directly acting antivirals in Taiwan
Autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura is an immunological disorder characterized by increased platelet destruction due to presence of anti-platelet antibodies. Hepatitis C virus infection, which is one of the most common chronic viral infections worldwide, may cause secondary chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura. It seemed to play a pathogenic role in autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura. Moreover, the successful response (negative hepatitis C virus - ribonucleic acid) to tapered steroids and antiviral therapy was useful to revert thrombocytopenia
It has been known for many years that the heart and the liver are intimately related. There is a mutual interaction between the function of the heart and the liver and a broad spectrum of acute and chronic entities that affect both the heart and the liver. Chronic hepatitis C virus infection affects more than 3% (170 million) of the world's population.
