ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy of peginterferon alpha (PEG-IFNα) initially combined with lamivudine (LAM) or adefovir (ADV) in treatment of HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. MethodsWe electronically searched databases including The Cochrane Library (Issue 11, 2014), PubMed, CBM, CNKI, VIP, and WanFang Data from inception to December 2014, to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about PEG-IFNα initially combined with LAM or ADV for HBeAg-positive CHB. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.2 software. ResultsA total of 11 RCTs involving 2031 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: After 48 weeks of treatment, the HBsAg seroconversion rate of the PEG-IFNα plus ADV group was significantly higher than that of the PEG-IFNα monotherapy group (8.6% vs. 0%, OR=7.73, 95%CI 1.53 to 39.05, P=0.01) or the ADV monotherapy group (8.5% vs. 0%, OR=7.75, 95%CI 1.07 to 56.23, P=0.04); and the HBsAg seroclearance rate in the combination therapy group was significantly higher than that of the ADV monotherapy group (10.5% vs. 1.2%, OR=5.56, 95%CI to 2.14 to 14.47, P=0.0004). After 52 weeks of treatment, the HBsAg seroconversion rate of the PEG-IFNα plus LAM group was significantly higher than that of the PEG-IFNα monotherapy group (11.6% vs. 5.6%, OR=2.21, 95%CI 1.04 to 4.72, P=0.04). After 26 weeks of follow-up, no significant differences were found between the combination therapy group and the PEG-IFNα monotherapy group in HBsAg seroclearance rate and HBsAg seroconversion rate (all P values >0.05). ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that, compared with PEG-IFNα, LAM, or ADV monotherapy, PEG-IFNα plus LAM or ADV could improve the HBsAg seroclearance or seroconversion rate after 48-52 weeks of treatment for HBeAg-positive CHB, but this effect is still limited. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
ObjectiveAntiviral treatments could benefit chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients with the regression or improvement of liver fibrosis. However, the degree of dynamic change of liver fibrosis for patients who had not received antiviral treatment remained to be studied. The current study aimed to observe the long-term variation of liver stiffness measurement (LSM), virological and biochemical response on patients without standard antiviral therapy.MethodsA total of 220 patients who were diagnosed with chronic HBV infection, who had not reached the standard of antiviral therapy, and completed a follow-up date of over 2 years in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University from 2012 to 2018 were retrospectively enrolled. According to the changes of LSM in baseline and follow-up period, the patients were divided into regression group, non-progressive group, and progressive group. The virological and biochemical characteristics of each group were analyzed.ResultsAmong the 220 patients, 153 patients (69.5%) had no progress in LSM degree. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), HBV DNA, and HBsAg in a few patients increased or slightly decreased, while the vast majority remained in a relatively stable state. 89.5% (137/153) of the non-progressive patients were in grade F0. In addition, 58 patients showed spontaneous improvement with a decreasing rate of 0.460 kPa per year. Patients with ALT of 1-2 ULN had a statistically significant decrease in LSM improvement compared to patients with normal ALT. 82.8% of the LSM-improving patients showed baseline LSM of F1-F3. Only 9 patients showed LSM deterioration, however, which could not be explained by virus replication or necroinflammatory activity. ConclusionsFor patients unsatisfying standard antiviral therapy, most patients with baseline LSM of F0 grade fail to progress, and patients with baseline LSM of F1-F3 show a decrease during follow-up, LSM progression occurs in 4.1% of patients.
【摘要】 目的 分析慢性乙肝患者血清生化、血常规、血清病毒载量及乙型肝炎标志物与肝组织炎症分级、纤维化分期的相关性,以找到有较好相关性的临床指标；通过肝活检证实临床诊断与病理诊断的符合情况,探讨肝活检的重要性及价值。方法 对2007年6月—2009年8月在传染科行肝穿刺活检的359例慢性乙型肝炎患者的血清丙氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT)、门冬氨酸氨基转移酶(AST)、总胆红素(TB)、白蛋白(ALB)、球蛋白(GLB)等指标,白细胞(WBC)、血小板(PLT)等指标,凝血酶原时间(PT),血清HBV DNA定量及乙肝标志物的不同状态与肝穿病理分级、分期的相关性进行分析；统计慢性乙肝患者临床诊断与病理诊断的符合情况。结果 肝组织炎症分级及纤维化分期之间有一定相关性(Plt;0.05)；血清ALT、AST、ALB、GLB、PT有助于判断肝组织炎症程度(Plt;0.05)；ALB、GLB、WBC、PLT、PT对肝组织纤维化程度的评估有意义(Plt;0.05)；HBV DNA复制水平与肝组织炎症及纤维化无关(Pgt;0.05),但存在负相关的趋势；纤维化程度高的患者HBeAg阴性组较HBeAg阳性组更多(Plt;0.05)。慢性乙型肝炎患者临床与病理诊断总符合率为56.3％。结论 动态监测慢性乙肝患者肝功能、血常规、凝血常规在一定程度上有助于判断疾病的程度,但要确诊肝组织炎症分级及纤维化分期,肝组织病理活检是必需的。
目的 比较拉米夫定+阿德福韦酯联合治疗与阿德福韦酯单药治疗对阿德福韦酯停药后出现病毒学反弹而无基因型耐药变异患者的疗效及安全性。 方法 回顾研究2007年1月－2012年1月在传染科门诊就诊的67例阿德福韦酯治疗获得病毒学应答但停药后出现病毒学反弹的e抗原阳性慢性乙型肝炎患者，分别给予拉米夫定+阿德福韦酯联合治疗（联合组，n=35）和阿德福韦酯单药治疗（单药组，n=32）。 结果 治疗1年后，联合组（32例，85.7%）较单药组（21例，65.6%）有更多的患者重新获得了丙氨酸转氨酶复常（P=0.009），联合组34例（97.1%）乙型肝炎病毒DNA阴转，单药组22例（68.8%）阴转，两组差异有统计学意义（P=0.002）；在血清学转换方面，联合组和单药组分别有4例（11.4%）和1例（3.1%）患者获得了e抗原的血清学转换。在治疗中所有患者均未发生任何严重不良反应。 结论 阿德福韦酯停药后出现病毒学反弹，选择拉米夫定与阿德福韦酯联合治疗可使患者重新获得较好的生化学和病毒学应答。

ObjectivesTo systematically review the risk factors of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with hepatic B surface antigen (HBsAg).MethodsScopus, EMbase, PubMed, and The Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched for relevant studies on HCC after HBsAg seroclearance from inception to October 31st, 2017. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted the data, and evaluated the risk of bias in the included studies. Meta-analysis was then conducted using R 3.5.3 software.ResultsA total of 28 studies involving 105 411 patients were included. Among 105 411 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), 7 656 patients occurred spontaneously HBsAg seroclearance, while 1 248 patients had HBsAg seroclearance after interferon or nucleoside analogue therapy. The rate of HBsAg seroclearance was 6.77%. Meta-analysis showed that risk factors for HCC after serum HBsAg conversion included cirrhosis (OR=6.43, 95%CI 3.56 to 11.60, P<0.001), male (OR=2.72, 95%CI 1.66 to 4.46,P<0.001), and age ≥50 years at HBsAg seroclearance (OR=3.71, 95%CI 2.17 to 6.35,P<0.001).ConclusionsPatients with CHB after HBsAg seroclearance are still at risk of developing HCC. Therefore, periodic surveillance is recommended, especially for male patients, patients with cirrhosis, and patients who experience HBsAg seroclearance when over 50.
【摘要】 目的 分析腺苷蛋氨酸治疗慢性乙型肝炎高胆红素血症的临床疗效。 方法 回顾性分析2010年1-12月28例接受腺苷蛋氨酸（2 000 mg静脉滴注，1次/d）治疗慢性乙型肝炎高胆红素血症患者的临床资料，并对腺苷蛋氨酸治疗慢性重症乙型肝炎高胆红素血症后症状、体征及实验室检测指标的改变情况进行总结，利用多因素logistic回归分析方法探索与疗效相关的预测因素。根据相关症状、体征和实验室结果的不同，将疗效分为显效、有效和无效3类。 结果 28例患者使用腺苷蛋氨酸治疗4周后，显效20例（71.4%），有效4例（14.3%），无效4例（14.3%）。多因素logistic回归分析提示病程短、并发症少是影响腺苷蛋氨酸疗效的独立预测因素。 结论 腺苷蛋氨酸是治疗慢性乙型肝炎高胆红素血症有效，发病时间短及并发症少的患者退黄效果更好。【Abstract】 Objective To investigate the curative efficacy of ademetionine in the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia for chronic hepatitis B patients. Methods The clinical data of 28 chronic hepatitis B patients with intrahepatic cholestasis receiving intravenous ademetionine treatment (2 000 mg per day) were retrospectively analyzed. Patients’ symptoms, body signs and laboratory examination results were summarized, and predictors for efficacy were investigated using multiple regression analysis. In this study, the curative efficacy was classified into remarkable efficacy, efficacy and inefficacy, according to the clinical data. Results After one-month treatment with ademetionine, the percentage for remarkable efficacy, efficacy and inefficacy was 71.4%, 14.3%, and 14.3% respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that short disease duration and fewer complications were independent predictors for remarkable efficacy of ademetionine treatment. Conclusion Ademetionine is an effective agent for the treatment of hyperbilirubinemia in chronic hepatitis B patients, and the result is especially good for patients with short duration and fewer complications.
Objective To compare adefovir monotherapy with adefovir-thymosin alpha-1 combination therapy for chronic hepatitis B. Methods We searched The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, PubMed, the Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM), CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases up to February 2010 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing adefovir plus thymosin alpha-1 versus adefovir alone for chronic hepatitis B. We also scanned references of all included studies and pertinent reviews. The methodological quality assessment and data extraction were conducted by two reviewers independently according to the Cochrane Reviewer’s Handbook 5.0.2 . Meta-analyses were performed using RevMan 5.0 software. Results Eleven trials involving 895 patients were included. The results of meta-analyses shoued: the HBeAg seroconversion rate of the combination therapy group was higher than that of the monotherapy group, both at the sixth month and the twelfth month (RR=1.77, 95%CI 1.38 to 2.27; RR=1.74, 95%CI 1.44 to 2.10); and there were also significant differences between the two groups for secondary outcomes including HBV-DNA negative, ALT normalization, etc.Conclusion Adefovir-thymosin alpha-1 combination therapy might be more effective than adefovir monotherapy for chronic hepatitis B. Significant differences are even observed at the sixth month. However, the results should be interpreted with caution because of the low quality of the included studies. High-quality, large-scale RCTs are needed to further prove the results.
