Adaptive Evolution and Distinct Mutation Signatures of Full-Length HBV Quasispecies in HBeAg-Negative Chronic Hepatitis B. [PDF]
HBeAg‐negative chronic hepatitis B harbors a highly heterogeneous HBV quasispecies shaped by region‐specific selection. Adaptive strategies underpinning viral persistence include: BCP/PreC mutations supporting replication, PreS/S mutations enabling immune evasion, and overlapping Pol/S mutations maintaining viral fitness.

Disease Progression Mathematical Modeling With a Case Study on Hepatitis B Virus Infection. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Chronic Hepatitis B presents a significant health and socioeconomic burden. The risk of hepatocellular carcinoma remains elevated although treatments are available. Achieving an optimal treatment regimen necessitates a deep comprehension of the dynamic relationship between the virus and its host across disease states.

Sulforaphane effectively inhibits HBV by altering Treg/Th17 immune balance and the MIF-macrophages polarizing axis in vitro and in vivo [PDF]
Background: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major public health problem. After HBV infection, viral antigens shift the immune balance in favor of viral escape.

Reactivation of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is known to occur frequently after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The reactivation can be prevented by nucleos(t)ide analogue (NA), but it is unclear how long NA should be continued.

Reactivation of hepatitis B virus in HBsAg-negative patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. [PDF]
Despite increasing attention to hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation in hematologic settings, information on reactivation in hepatitis B surface (HBsAg)-negative patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unknown.

Assessment of Liver Morbidity in Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Chemotherapy in Suez Canal University Hospitals [PDF]
Background and study aim: In Egypt, breast cancer, representing 18.9% of total cancer cases and 35.1% of cancer in women. Potential interactions between the liver and chemotherapy fall into direct chemotherapy-induced hepatotoxicity and Potentiation of ...

A sensitive single reverse passive haemagglutination test for detecting both HBsAg and anti-HBs. [PDF]
A trial of a modified reverse passive haemagglutination test for HBsAg using a 0.1% cell suspension instead of the recommended 1% showed an approximately eight-fold increase in detection sensitivity. The test can be performed within 30 minutes and lends itself to mass screening techniques. Confirmation tests can be done using the 0.1% method.

Although rare patients with chronic hepatitis B can achieve HBsAg loss on oral nucleos(t)ide analog (NA), the optimal timing of stopping oral NAs safely has been considered when HBsAg and HBV DNA are negative in the serum because HBsAg loss induced by ...

Reversal of B-cell hyperactivation and functional impairment is associated with HBsAg seroconversion in chronic hepatitis B patients [PDF]
B cells play an important role in the clearance of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and protection against reinfection. However, the functional characteristics of these cells that are associated with the outcome of chronic HBV infection remain unknown. We comprehensively investigated the frequency, phenotype, and function of peripheral B-cell subsets from CHB ...
