Filter by:The anti-HBs produced after hepatitis B vaccination will decrease over time. College students are vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine at birth, and their antibodies may have decreased significantly. In addition, college students are sexually active population, which has a high risk of HBV infection. It is necessary to study the anti-HBs level of college students, and analyze the strengthening immunization for this special group. This study will analyze the immunogenicity, immune persistence, and safety of booster dose of intramuscular 20 µg recombinant hepatitis B vaccines. Different booster vaccination including one-dose (0 month), two-dose (0, 1 months), or three-dose (0, 1, and 6 months) was given according to the antibody production level after booster vaccination among college students.
This prospective cohort study is initiated to evaluate the compliance improvement to the standardized follow-up and clinical management in the population of compensatory hepatitis B cirrhosis with a mobile health application (APP). Patients were enrolled and divided into APP self-management group (APP only ) and APP intelligent-management group (APP and online interaction). The compliance to the standardized follow-up and clinical management (every six months) under the two clinical management modes would be evaluated and compared with the history data extracted from the platform of China Registry of Hepatitis B (CR-Hep B).
The aim of this study is to assess the HCV screening rate in Arizona by identification of potential HCV patients/subjects through different methods of communication - text message, email, social media, radio, newspaper ads, and flyers.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the prevalence and the clinical impact of Orthohepevirus C infection in different human populations, and to determine its zoonotic origin comparing the sequences obtained in both human and animal populations. This is an ambispective study where Orthohepevirus C infection will be evaluated in four high risk human population: i) patients with acute hepatitis, ii) patients with positive IgM antibody against Hepatitis E virus infection with undetectable viral load, iii) HIV infected individuals, and iv) solid organ transplant recipients. Furthermore, we will analyze three animal populations: i) suburban rodents, ii) domestic rodents, iii) wild carnivores. Viral sequences identified in both human and animal populations will be compared to evaluate the zoonotic origin of the infections.
China has the world's largest burden of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and will be a major contributor towards the global elimination of hepatitis B disease by 2030. One of the main issues in the management of patients with chronic HBV infection (CHB) is to maximize the individuals who need the treatment engaged and retained in care. However, our investigation revealed that 21.1% patients were treatment eligible but not treated based on Chinese 2019 CHB treatment guidelines, while only 213 (13.9%) patients were indicated-but-not-treated according to AASLD 2018 Hepatitis B guidance in a real-life cohort study. To maximize the individuals who need the treatment engaged and retained in care, integrated intervention strategies to address these treatment barriers are urgently needed. Therefore, we aim to propose a study to narrow the gap between in accordance with guidelines and consent to treat CHB population in EAST of China.
To investigate the safety and efficacy of tenofovir alafenamide (orally 25 mg per day) treated in inactive chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV)-infected pregnant women with high viral load from the late pregnancy until the delivery date or postpartum 1 month.
Obesity is associated with a variety of co-morbidities. Children with obesity are more likely to have risk factors associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and CVD risk markers (e.g. hypertension, elevated serum cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes mellitus), but also with organ specific pathologies such as a non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). A recent meta-analysis has shown that the prevalence of NAFLD in obese pediatric populations is approximately 35%, compared to approximately 8% in general pediatric population, making it a very important health threat in these populations. Successful pharmacological interventions to treat or prevent NASH are not yet available and so far only weight loss has clear benefits. However, it is well known that sustained weight-loss is difficult to achieve on the longer-term. The investigators recently demonstrated in mice that plant sterol and stanol ester consumption inhibited the development of liver inflammation. Moreover, Javanmardi et al. recently demonstrated in a population of adult NAFLD patients, that plasma concentrations of Alanine Transaminase (ALT) were reduced after daily plant sterol consumption (1.6 g/d) for 6 weeks. In this study, the investigators propose to evaluate the effect of consuming soft chews enriched with plant stanol esters (3 grams/day) on ALT concentrations in children with overweight or (morbid) obesity who are at risk of developing NAFLD, in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double blinded study with an intervention period and follow-up period of 6 months. 52 overweight and obese children with elevated ALT concentrations (>39 U/L for boys and >33 U/L for girls) will be included. All children will be randomly allocated to consume control or plant stanol ester enriched soft chews on a daily basis for a period of 6 months. After 12 months there will be an additional blood sample to evaluate whether the 6 months intervention is still effective.
Development of preclinical translational models for chronic liver tumors and diseases study, such as spheroids cultured in autologous medium and murine xenograft models to test the efficacy of new therapeutic strategies.
The purpose of this study is to provide theoretical and real world evidence for the optimization of antiviral treatment by IFN combined with Nucleosides analog in HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B patients aged 1-16 years，so that the functional cure could be achieved in the greatest extent in pediatric patients
Carvedilol has been shown to be more potent in decreasing portal hypertension to propranolol. A lot of studies have shown that the imbalance of flora and the progress of portal hypertension are mutually causal. Berberine can regulate the intestinal flora.In this study, we evaluated the effect of carvedilol and berberine on reducing portal vein pressure by observing the changes of endoscopy，endoscopic ultrasonography and intestinal flora.
