Despite the development of an effective vaccine, Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a major public health problem worldwide with a significant proportion of chronic HBV infected patients developing liver cirrhosis, liver failure, and primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Chronic hepatitis B is one of the 10 major causes of death worldwide. Although a number of antiviral agents against HBV are now available, proper selection of patients who would be ideal candidates for therapy is essential. The rationale for treatment is to reduce the risk of progressive chronic liver disease, transmission to others, and other long-term complications from chronic HBV such as hepatocellular carcinoma. The decision to commence treatment must balance the likelihood of a sustained treatment response, with the future risk of liver-related morbidity and mortality. Consideration of further factors, including patient age, concurrent illness, medication compliance, liver disease activity, likelihood of long-term benefit, and potential therapeutic risks such as side effects, must be included as part of a risk-benefit analysis. A large amount of new data have become available in recent years, suggesting that conventional criteria for treatment initiation based on existing disease progression do not necessarily correlate with the future risk of disease complications. This review summarizes the various factors which have to be considered before selecting the patient for treatment.
尽管开发出了有效的疫苗,乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)感染仍然是世界范围内的一个主要公共卫生问题,很大一部分慢性HBV感染患者发展为肝硬化、肝功能衰竭和原发性肝细胞癌(HCC)。慢性乙型肝炎是全世界十大死亡原因之一。虽然现在有许多抗HBV的抗病毒药物,但正确选择患者是治疗的理想候选者是至关重要的。治疗的基本原理是降低进展性慢性肝病、传播给他人的风险以及慢性HBV的其他长期并发症,如肝细胞癌。开始治疗的决定必须平衡持续治疗反应的可能性,以及未来肝脏相关发病率和死亡率的风险。进一步考虑的因素,包括患者年龄、并发疾病、药物依从性、肝脏疾病活动性、长期获益的可能性以及潜在的治疗风险(如副作用),必须作为风险-收益分析的一部分。近年来获得的大量新数据表明,基于现有疾病进展的常规开始治疗标准不一定与未来疾病并发症的风险相关。这篇综述总结了在选择病人接受治疗之前必须考虑的各种因素。

Over 350 million people worldwide are infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV), and patients with HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B constitute a major proportion of this population. Mutant varieties of HBV resulting from mutations in the precore or core promoter region of the viral genome give rise to HBeAg-negative CHB, and these cases must be differentiated from the inactive carrier state. These patients with HBeAg-negative CHB must be managed judiciously and in certain situations kept under close follow-up instead of rushing to treatment. However, this does not mean advocating adoption of a too conservative approach, allowing many to proceed to irreversible and progressive liver disease. This article provides an overview of the management of HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B.
全世界有超过3.5亿人感染乙型肝炎病毒(HBV), hbeag阴性的慢性乙型肝炎患者占这一人口的很大比例。由病毒基因组的前启动子或核心启动子区域突变引起的HBV突变品种导致hbeag阴性CHB,这些病例必须与无活性携带者状态相区分。这些hbeag阴性慢性乙型肝炎患者必须谨慎处理,在某些情况下应密切随访,而不是急于治疗。然而,这并不意味着提倡采用过于保守的方法,允许许多人继续发展为不可逆转的进行性肝病。这篇文章提供了hbeag阴性慢性乙型肝炎的管理概述。

Management of HBV-related cirrhosis: Role of nucleoside analogs hbv相关肝硬化的治疗:核苷类似物的作用
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.4103/0972-9747.76909

In the management of HBV related cirrhosis of the liver, viral suppression with safe and effective antiviral agents is essential. Besides, antiviral therapy for long term use in cirrhotics should be safe and affordable with low risk of drug resistance. Treatment of compensated HBV cirrhosis can diminish the risk of hepatic decompensation and progression to hepatocellular carcinoma [HCC]. Regression of fibrosis and reversal of cirrhosis have also been reported with antiviral therapy. Further, in decompensated cirrhosis, although liver transplantation is considered as the definitive therapy, inhibition of viral replication before transplantation can delay the need for liver transplant and also prevent HBV recurrence in the post-transplantation period. These patients while on antiviral therapy need close monitoring for viral resistance and adverse events, besides continued surveillance for HCC. This article reviews the literature on the role of nucleoside analogues in the management of HBV related chronic liver disease.
在HBV相关肝硬化的治疗中,使用安全有效的抗病毒药物进行病毒抑制至关重要。此外,在肝硬化中长期使用抗病毒治疗应该是安全和负担得起的,耐药风险低。代偿性HBV肝硬化的治疗可以降低肝功能失代偿和进展为肝细胞癌的风险。抗病毒治疗也有纤维化消退和肝硬化逆转的报道。此外,在失代偿性肝硬化中,尽管肝移植被认为是最终的治疗方法,但在移植前抑制病毒复制可以延迟肝移植的需要,并防止移植后HBV复发。这些患者在接受抗病毒治疗时需要密切监测病毒耐药性和不良事件,并继续监测HCC。本文综述了核苷类似物在HBV相关慢性肝病治疗中的作用。

Hepatitis B is a well-recognized global public health problem. It is estimated that nearly 2 billion people around the world have serologic evidence of past or present hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, while 350 million people are chronically infected. This worldwide burden of hepatitis B mandates accurate and timely diagnosis of patients infected with HBV and the use of treatment strategies derived from evidence-based guidelines. HBV is a DNA virus that produces a series of viral protein products. Serologic and nucleic acid testing are critical to disease prevention and treatment objectives. Information from such testing helps determine patients' infectivity and immune status, appropriate monitoring strategies, and the efficacy of treatment, as well as providing data that contributes to a better understanding of the natural history and epidemiology of the disease. This article reviews the clinical use of serologic and nucleic acid tests as markers of disease activity.
乙型肝炎是公认的全球公共卫生问题。据估计,全世界有近20亿人有过去或现在感染乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)的血清学证据,同时有3.5亿人患有慢性感染。这一全球性的乙型肝炎负担要求对乙型肝炎感染患者进行准确和及时的诊断,并采用基于证据的指南制定的治疗策略。HBV是一种产生一系列病毒蛋白产物的DNA病毒。血清学和核酸检测是实现疾病预防和治疗目标的关键。来自此类检测的信息有助于确定患者的传染性和免疫状态、适当的监测策略和治疗效果,并提供有助于更好地了解该疾病的自然史和流行病学的数据。本文综述了血清学和核酸检测作为疾病活动性标志物的临床应用。

HBV drug resistance : Its relevance in clinical practice HBV耐药:与临床实践的相关性
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.4103/0972-9747.45087

Drug resistance can be considered as a natural response to the selective pressure of the drug. An increase in HBV DNA can be a good indicator of the presence of a resistant HBV mutant population. The nucleoside analogues Lamivudine, Adefovir, Entecavir etc. are oral drugs used for Hepatitis B viral infection. Resistance to HBV drugs arises due to mutations in the polymerase gene. The HBV polymerase can be divided into 4 domains: 1) the terminal protein, 2) the variable spacer domain, 3) the polymerase/reverse transcriptase and 4) the RNase. Drug resistance to Lamivudine is associated with mutations in the very conserved catalytic polymerase /reverse transcriptase domain, located specifically at a locus of four amino acids consisting of tyrosine-methionine-aspartate-aspartate, termed the YMDD motif at position 204:M204V/I. Adefovir resistance mutations are at amino acid residues 181,236/238:A181T/V and N236T/N238D. The Entecavir resistance mutations are at amino acid residues 184, 202 and 250 of the polymerase: T184X, S202I/G/L and M250L/V. There are several assays available that identify resistance mutation like polymerase chain reaction, real time PCR with specific probes, hybridization methods (line probe assay) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP).The best approach for patients with Lamivudine resistance is to continue Lamivudine and add Adefovir. Lamivudine is effective in suppressing serum HBV DNA levels in patients with Adefovir resistance. Entecavir resistance mutations are sensitive to Adefovir and Tenofovir. The careful selection of a first-line agent is essential to avoid the occurrence of resistance and the development of cross resistance to other agents. The most effective therapy of antiviral-resistant HBV is prevention through judicious use of nucleos(t)ide analogue therapy.
耐药性可以被认为是对药物选择压力的自然反应。HBV DNA的增加可以作为耐药HBV突变群体存在的良好指标。核苷类似物拉米夫定、阿德福韦、恩替卡韦等是用于治疗乙型肝炎病毒感染的口服药物。对HBV药物的耐药性是由于聚合酶基因的突变引起的。HBV聚合酶可分为4个结构域:1)末端蛋白,2)可变间隔结构域,3)聚合酶/逆转录酶和4)rna酶。拉米夫定耐药与非常保守的催化聚合酶/逆转录酶结构域的突变有关,该结构域位于由酪氨酸-甲硫氨酸-天冬氨酸-天冬氨酸组成的四个氨基酸位点,称为YMDD基序,位于204:M204V/I。阿德福韦耐药突变位于氨基酸残基181,236/238:A181T/V和N236T/N238D。恩替卡韦耐药突变位于聚合酶的184、202和250个氨基酸残基:T184X、S202I/G/L和M250L/V。有几种方法可用于鉴定抗性突变,如聚合酶链反应,使用特定探针的实时PCR,杂交方法(线探针测定)和限制性片段长度多态性(RFLP)。拉米夫定耐药患者的最佳方法是继续使用拉米夫定并加用阿德福韦。拉米夫定可有效抑制阿德福韦耐药患者血清HBV DNA水平。恩替卡韦耐药突变对阿德福韦和替诺福韦敏感。仔细选择一线药物对于避免耐药性的发生和对其他药物的交叉耐药性的发展至关重要。抗病毒耐药HBV最有效的治疗方法是通过明智地使用核苷类似物治疗进行预防。

Hepatitis B virus is the most transmissible virus and is very resistant to heat and chemicals, because of its unique structure. Blood has the maximum concentration of the virus among all the body fluids and the risk of transmission is related to the presence of HBeAg and the Hepatitis B virus DNA level in the blood. In India, about 1-10% of the healthcare workers are HBsAg positive. Healthcare workers, especially surgeons, and laboratory technicians are at a high risk of developing Hepatitis B infection. Transmission from Hepatitis B positive surgeons to patients has been well-documented. However, the risk of transmission from a patient to a surgeon is higher - about 30% - following a needle stick injury from an HBeAg positive individual. In India, there is low awareness among healthcare personnel about Hepatitis B vaccination and its related issues, and there is no health policy in this regard. In relation to the healthcare workers, there is an urgent need to formulate guidelines on HBsAg testing, hepatitis B vaccination, restriction of exposure-prone procedures that have to be performed, the extent to which their serological status can be revealed to patients, implementation of universal precautions, and post-exposure prophylaxis.
乙型肝炎病毒是传染性最强的病毒,由于其独特的结构,它对热和化学物质具有很强的抵抗力。在所有体液中,血液中的病毒浓度最高,传播的风险与血液中HBeAg和乙型肝炎病毒DNA水平的存在有关。在印度,约有1-10%的医护人员HBsAg呈阳性。卫生保健工作者,特别是外科医生和实验室技术人员是乙型肝炎感染的高危人群。乙型肝炎阳性外科医生对患者的传播已得到充分证明。然而,在HBeAg阳性个体被针头刺伤后,从患者传染给外科医生的风险更高,约为30%。在印度,卫生保健人员对乙型肝炎疫苗接种及其相关问题的认识很低,而且在这方面没有卫生政策。对于卫生保健工作者来说,迫切需要制定乙肝表面抗原检测、乙肝疫苗接种、限制必须进行的易暴露程序、他们的血清学状况可以向患者透露的程度、实施普遍预防措施和暴露后预防的指导方针。

HBV therapeutic end points HBV治疗终点
Pub Date : 1900-01-01 DOI: 10.4103/0972-9747.162150
A. Arora
Chronic hepatitis B [CHB] is a major health problem especially in developing countries. Defining the end point of therapy is a key issue in management of CHB patients, since a judicious balance has to be maintained between containing the virus and its sequelae and futility of continuation of therapy beyond a point. The major goals of antiviral therapy are to prevent the complications of CHB such as the development of liver cirrhosis, liver failure, HCC and death. Major advances have been made in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B, which led to significant improvements in the management of the disease. Several virologic end points have been used to evaluate the efficacy of therapy, including HBsAg loss, HBeAg seroconversion and HBV DNA undetectability. It was shown that viral suppression induced by antiviral therapy is a major treatment end point because it is associated with an improvement in liver histology and clinical outcome, and is now achievable in the majority of patients. New end points for the treatment of chronic HBV infection are emerging in the light development of more potent drugs and availability of more sensitive assays with the quantification and kinetics of serum HBsAg, intrahepatic cccDNA and analysis of specific immunological responses.

There is no ideal endpoindr for evaluation of therapies for hepatitis B at the moment, and future research should be directed at development and validation of endpoints that could precisely foretell or reflect outcomes in patients with CHB.This review which discusses the various end points of treatment of CHB should be of immense benefit to the practicing clinicians.
慢性乙型肝炎(CHB)是一个主要的健康问题,特别是在发展中国家。确定治疗终点是慢性乙型肝炎患者管理中的一个关键问题,因为必须在遏制病毒及其后遗症和超过某一点继续治疗无效之间保持明智的平衡。抗病毒治疗的主要目标是预防慢性乙型肝炎的并发症,如肝硬化、肝功能衰竭、肝细胞癌和死亡。在慢性乙型肝炎的治疗方面取得了重大进展,使该病的管理得到了重大改善。一些病毒学终点被用来评估治疗的疗效,包括HBsAg损失、HBeAg血清转化和HBV DNA不可检出。研究表明,抗病毒治疗诱导的病毒抑制是一个主要的治疗终点,因为它与肝脏组织学和临床结果的改善有关,并且现在在大多数患者中是可以实现的。随着更有效药物的开发和更敏感的血清HBsAg、肝内cccDNA和特异性免疫反应分析的定量和动力学分析的可用性,慢性HBV感染治疗的新终点正在出现。然而,肝活检仍然是金标准,但由于其侵入性,采样误差以及出现变化所需的明显延迟而不切实际。目前尚无评估乙型肝炎治疗的理想终点,未来的研究应着眼于开发和验证能够准确预测或反映乙型肝炎患者预后的终点。这篇综述讨论了治疗慢性乙型肝炎的各种终点,对临床医生有很大的好处。

Defining the end point of therapy is a key issue in management of CHB patients, since a judicious balance has to be maintained between containing the virus and its sequelae and futility of continuation of therapy beyond a point. The major goals of antiviral therapy are to prevent the complications of CHB such as the development of liver cirrhosis, liver failure, HCC and death. Major advances have been made in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B, which led to significant improvements in the management of the disease. Several virologic end points have been used to evaluate the efficacy of therapy, including HBsAg loss, HBeAg seroconversion and HBV DNA undetectability. It was shown that viral suppression induced by antiviral therapy is a major treatment end point because it is associated with an improvement in liver histology and clinical outcome, and is now achievable in the majority of patients. New end points for the treatment of chronic HBV infection are emerging in the light development of more potent drugs and availability of more sensitive assays with the quantification and kinetics of serum HBsAg, intrahepatic cccDNA and analysis of specific immunological responses. However, liver biopsy still remains the gold standard but is impractical due to invasive nature, sampling error, and the significantly delay it takes for changes to appear. There is no ideal endpoindr for evaluation of therapies for hepatitis B at the moment, and future research should be directed at development and validation of endpoints that could precisely foretell or reflect outcomes in patients with CHB.This review which discusses the various end points of treatment of CHB should be of immense benefit to the practicing clinicians.","PeriodicalId":345516,"journal":{"name":"Hepatitis B Annual","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129316897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
