Hepatitis B Seroepidemiology Among Young Adults

Hepatitis B

Taiwan has launched a successful nationwide neonatal hepatitis B immunization since July 1, 1984. It successfully decreased the incidence of hepatitis B virus infection, the hepatitis B carrier rate as well as liver diseases among children and adolescents. The sexual transmission route is another important way of hepatitis B infection aside from the mother and child vertical infection, especially for youth and adults. Hepatitis B vaccination cohort refers to those who were born after 1986 and received hepatitis B vaccine immunization during newborn period. They are gradually entering into young adults and adolescent age. Among them, there is no empirical evidence to show the actual infection rate and to help implement hepatitis B vaccine booster policy for those who had three seronegative viral markers of hepatitis B. Therefore, the study design is to collect three consecutive years graduate school students school entry health examination data and undergo three hepatitis B viral markers checkup and blood types. The data linkage includes their health checkup data in the freshmen period, Taiwan CDC databank for neonatal hepatitis B immunization records, pregnancy and birth record registry, Taiwan cancer registry and Taiwan death record registry.

Study on Gut Microbiota in Chronic HBV Infected Patients

Chronic Hepatitis B InfectionHealthy

Hepatitis B Virus(HBV) infection is a common infectious disease affecting up to 2 billion people worldwide. Around 650 thousand people died of liver failure, cirrhosis and primary liver cancer caused by chronic hepatitis B every year. Age is the main factor affecting the chronicity of hepatitis B, while 90% and 25% to 30% of hepatitis b virus(HBV) infection in perinatal and infant period will develop into chronic infection respectively. Whereas the proportion in patients above 5 years old is only 5% to 10%. Intestinal microbiota plays an important role in maintaining nomal physiological function of the intestine and the immune function of the body. It has been found that the disorder of intestinal microbiota is associated with numerous intestinal and parenteral diseases. Recently, the relationship between immune response and intestinal microbiota has been claimed. In a previous study using IMT to treat HBeAg positive chronic hepatits B patients combined with antiviral theraopy, 80% of them has reached HBeAg clearance. Increasing evidence suggests that the gut microbiota has evolved as a new important player in the pathogenesis of hepatitis B virus-induced chronic liver disease. However, the composition and structure alteration of the gut microbiota associated with the stage and progression of HBV infection remains unknown. Hence, we proposed a trial to detected gut microbiota of chronic HBV infected patients high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing to elucidate the microbial influence which contribute to the microbial shift of patient in different stage.

Creation of a Cohort for the Quantitation and Characterization of Circulating Viral RNAs as a New...

Hepatitis B

The " CirB-RNA " cohort aims to create a biological collection associated with clinical and biological data from patients with hepatitis B infection. This project is part of a much larger program that aims to characterize and quantify circulating viral RNAs as a possible new biomarker of hepatitis B functional cure.

Re-compensation and Its Clinical Characteristics in HBV Decompensated Cirrhosis

Hepatitis BDecompensated Cirrhosis

In this study, treatment-naïve HBV-related cirrhosis patients were retrospectively enrolled at the first episode of decompensation (ascites or variceal hemorrhage). Patients were followed up every 6 months until death /liver transplantation or for 5 years. Clinical data from medical records about past history, first decompensated events, second /further decompensated events, HCC, and death/ liver transplantation were retrospectively collected. In this retrospective study, the incidence of re-compensation and its clinical characteristics were mainly explored.

Cohort Study of Clinical Outcomes in Chronic HBV Infection Patients With Low HBsAg Under Unplanned...

Chronic Hepatitis B Infection

All chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients were diagnosed and treated in the liver disease department of the Hepatology Center of Beijing Ditan Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University and those who received antiviral therapy (interferon and nucleoside analogues) reached HBsAg<100 IU/ml. The enrolled subjects were divided into the following six observation cohorts: 1) CHB patients in the immunological control period, without any clinical treatment intervention; 2) After interferon therapy, HBsAg<100 IU/ml, continued interferon therapy; 3) After interferon therapy, HBsAg<100 IU/ml, stopped interferon treatment; 4) After interferon therapy, HBsAg<100 IU/ml, sequential nucleoside analog treatment; 5) After nucleoside analogue treatment, HBsAg<100 IU/ml, sequential interferon treatment; 6) After treated with nucleoside analogues, HBsAg<100 IU/ml, continuing the nucleoside analog treatment. The follow-up observation period was 96 weeks under non-planned intervention. During the observation period, HBV indicators and biochemical indicators, serum AFP and liver imaging (liver ultrasound) were examined regularly. The main evaluation index was the incidence of HBsAg disappearance during the observation period. Secondary evaluation indicators: the rate of HBV DNA turning positive, the rate of HBeAg turning positive and hepatitis incidence. To observe the inactive carrier status of low HBsAg content and the incidence of HBsAg disappearance, clinical outcomes and influencing factors in patients with CHB under different antiviral interventions.

Epidemiology of Hepatitis B, C and Delta in Reunion Island

Hepatitis BHepatitis C1 more

Viral hepatitis B, C and Δ represent a global public health problem for which France was very early mobilized. Despite this, in its foreword, the Dhumeaux report on "Management of people infected with hepatitis B or hepatitis C viruses" identifies a residual area of weakness in this care that is the incomplete regional epidemiological data in the Overseas Territories. The specific ethno-socio-cultural characteristics of these territories make it difficult to transpose data from the mainland France. This study aims at improving our knowledge on the characteristics of patients with hepatitis B, C and Δ in Reunion Island, their follow-up, their evolution and complications.
