Background
There is increasing awareness of HBV reactivation in HCV-RNA-positive/HBV-coinfected patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) treated with oral direct-acting antivirals (DAAs).Aim
To provide figures on the prevalence of HBV markers in HCV-RNA-positive subjects in Italy, where these findings are lacking.Methods
All subjects aged ≥18?years with CLD consecutively referring to Italian liver units located throughout country were prospectively enrolled in two national surveys in 2001 and 2014.Results
The total number of HCV-RNA-positive cases was 6984; 356 (5.1%) subjects vaccinated against HBV were excluded. A total of 6628 cases were evaluated. The prevalence rates of HBsAg, isolated anti-HBc and anti-HBc/anti-HBs-positivity were 2.9%, 8.1% and 14.7%, respectively. Among the estimated one million HCV-RNA-positive subjects in Italy, a substantial number of subjects are at risk of HBV reactivation due to DAA therapy. The prevalence of liver cirrhosis was higher than that of CLD in HBsAg-positive subjects (4.4% vs. 2.6%, p?<?0.01) but not in those positive for other HBV markers.Conclusions
These findings outline the burden of HBV markers among HCV-RNA-positive subjects in Italy, where in 2017 reimbursement for DAA therapy by the National Health System became universal for all patients with chronic HCV infection. HBV vaccination coverage should be greatly extended, since nearly two thirds of subjects in this study resulted negative for any HBV marker. 相似文献3.

Background
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection in patients with pre-existing liver disease has shown high morbidity and lethality. The consequences of HEV superinfection in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are not fully understood. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the presence of anti-HEV antibodies, liver cirrhosis, and insulin resistance.Methods
A total of 618 patients chronically infected with HCV were included from three reference centers for viral hepatitis in São Paulo, Brazil. Presence of anti-HEV IgG was assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (WANTAI HEV-IgG ELISA).Results
The seroprevalence of anti-HEV in patients with cirrhosis was significantly higher than in patients without cirrhosis (13.2% vs 8%, OR = 1.74, p = 0.04). Seropositivity for anti-HEV, adjusted for sex, age, and HCV genotype showed an association trend with hepatic cirrhosis (aOR = 1.75, p = 0.059). Presence of HEV antibodies, adjusted for age, body mass index and cirrhosis, was shown to be independently associated with insulin resistance (aOR: 4.39; p = 0.045).Conclusion
Patients with chronic hepatitis C are under risk of hepatitis E virus superinfection in Brazil. The trend toward association between cirrhosis and previous HEV infection suggests that it may accelerate liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C. In addition, previous infection by HEV is independently associated with insulin resistance in the studied population, which may be an extra-hepatic manifestation of hepatitis E that persists after resolution of the active infection, and may contribute to fibrosis progression. 相似文献4.

Background
Reflex testing of antibodies and viral load in the same sample for diagnosing hepatitis C virus infection speeds up access to treatment. However, how hepatitis C is diagnosed in Spanish hospitals is unknown.Objective
To describe the available resources and procedures for the diagnosis of hepatitis C virus infection in Spain.Methods
Survey sent to public and private Spanish hospitals with teaching accreditation with at least 200 beds.Results
Of the 160 hospitals that met the inclusion criteria, 90 centres (response rate 56.3%) completed the survey. Two hospitals (2.2%) have no diagnostic resources, 15 (16.7%) can only test for anti-hepatitis C virus(Ab), 9 (10.0%) for Ab and viral load, 47 (52.2%) for Ab, viral load and genotype, 2 (2.2%) for Ab, viral load and core antigen, and 15 (16.7%) can perform Ab, core antigen, viral load and genotype tests. When an Ab test is positive, 28 (31.1%) hospitals perform reflex testing. When an active infection is diagnosed, some communication strategy is used in 62 (68.9%) hospitals. Approximately 44.2% of the respondents believe that all determinations needed to reach a definitive diagnosis should be done on a single blood sample.Conclusion
Although 81% of Spanish hospitals have the resources to perform reflex hepatitis C virus infection testing, it is only done in 31%, and less than a half of respondents believe that the definitive diagnosis should be performed on a single sample. 相似文献5.
Introduction
Chikungunya virus infection causes arthralgia and arthritis in the acute phase of the disease but, in more than half of the cases, musculoskeletal manifestations can be prolonged over time and, in some cases, become chronic. Although polyarthralgia is the most frequent chronic manifestation, forms with polyarthritis, tenosynovitis and enthesopathy are also common.Objective
To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with persistent articular manifestations after infection with the Chikungunya virus.Patients
Report of 3 cases of chronic arthritis after infection with chikungunya virus diagnosed at outpatient care in a university hospital of Catalonia, all of them imported after exposure in areas of epidemic infection between 2013-2015.Results
All three patients had inflammatory joint pain for more than one year after acute disease (3, 2 and 1 years, respectively). In all cases, it appeared as polyarthritis with involvement of small joints of hands and feet (pseudorheumatoid arthritis-like). Laboratory tests showed a slight elevation of acute phase reactants, and analyses for immune markers were negative. Two of the patients required treatment with glucocorticoids and hydroxychloroquine. The course led to slow clinical improvement, but only one of them came to be completely asymptomatic.Conclusion
In the differential diagnosis of chronic polyarthritis, Chikungunya virus disease should also be considered in areas in which it is not endemic. 相似文献6.

Backgound
A significant proportion of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) negative/anti-hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) positive patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) undergoing rituximab-based chemotherapy (R-CT) may suffer hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation.Aims
We wanted to assess efficacy and safety of lamivudine (LMV) prophylaxis to prevent this complication.Methods
Eighty-five consecutive HBsAg negative/anti-HBc positive NHL patients (71 years, 100% serum HBV DNA undetectable, 74% anti-HBs positive) received LMV coadministered with R-CT and for 18 months after the end of R-CT. Serum ALT, HBsAg, anti-HBs and HBV DNA were assessed every 4 months during and after end of LMV.Results
During 39 (2–108) months of study period, including 21 months of LMV and 27 additional months after LMV discontinuation, one patient (2%) had HBV reactivation, 31 months after stopping LMV and during administration of new immunosuppressive regimens, without LMV prophylaxis, owing to incomplete oncological response. A 50% decline of anti-HBs titers occurred in 22/63 (35%) patients, including 12 who became anti-HBs seronegative. Five (6%) patients had ALT increase during R-CT but none required R-CT discontinuation. Seventeen (20%) patients died, all for tumour progression.Conclusion
LMV prophylaxis is safe and effective in preventing HBV reactivation in HBsAg negative/anti-HBc positive NHL patients receiving R-CT. 相似文献7.

Objective
The atrial fibrillation-related stroke is clearly prevented by anticoagulation treatment, however, management of anticoagulation for AF in patients with cirrhosis represents a challenge due to bleeding concerns. To address this issue, a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature was performed.Methods
A literature search for studies reporting the incidence of AF in patients with cirrhosis was conducted using MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Database, from inception through July 2018.Results
7 cohort studies including 19,798 patients with AF and cirrhosis were identified. The use of anticoagulation (%) among included studies ranged from 8.3% to 53.9%. Anticoagulation use for AF in patients with cirrhosis was significantly associated with a reduced risk of stroke, with a pooled HR of 0.58 (95%CI: 0.35–0.96). When compared with no anticoagulation, the use of anticoagulation was not significantly associated with a higher risk of bleeding, with a pooled HR of 1.45 (95%CI: 0.96–2.17). Compared to warfarin, the use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) was associated with a lower risk of bleeding among AF patients with cirrhosis.Conclusion
Our study demonstrates that anticoagulation use for AF in patients with cirrhosis is associated with a reduced risk of stroke, without increasing significantly the risk of bleeding, when compared to those without anticoagulation. 相似文献8.

Background
The long-term management of perianal Crohn’s disease for patients on anti-TNF-α therapy remains challenging.Aim
To evaluate the long-term course and complications of patients with perianal fistulas treated with anti-TNF-α based on their clinical remission and healing on MRI.Methods
Patients were evaluated clinically and by MRI. Deep remission was defined as clinical remission associated with the absence of contrast enhancement and T2 hyperintensity on MRI. Flare-free survival, surgery and hospitalizations were compared based on the presence or not of deep remission.Results
Forty-eight consecutive patients were included with a median follow-up of 62?months after anti-TNF-α first administration. Deep remission was observed in 16 patients (33.4%). For patients in deep remission, the median time to any perianal event was 116?months (95–130) versus 42?months (8–72) in patients with pathological MRI (p?<?0.001). Sixteen patients (50%) with pathological MRI had perianal surgery versus 2 (12.5%) in the deep remission group (p?<?0.05). The mean duration of cumulative hospital stays was 0.75?±?0.52?days in the deep remission group versus 19.7?±?7.4 in the pathological group (p?<?0.05).Conclusions
Higher flare-free survival and lower rates of surgery and hospitalization were found in patients achieving deep remission. 相似文献9.

Background
The current definitions and etiologies of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) are clearly very different between East and West.Aims
This study aimed to develop an effective prognostic nomogram for acute-on-chronic hepatitis B liver failure (ACHBLF) as defined by the Asia Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL).Methods
The nomogram was based on a retrospective study of 573 patients with ACHBLF, defined according to the APASL, at the Beijing Ditan Hospital. The results were validated using a bootstrapped approach to correct for bias in two external cohorts, including an APASL ACHBLF cohort (10 hospitals, N?=?329) and an EASL-CLIF ACHBLF cohort (Renji Hospital, N?=?300).Results
Multivariate analysis of the derivation cohort for survival analysis helped identify the independent factors as age, total bilirubin, albumin, international normalized ratio, and hepatic encephalopathy, which were included in the nomogram. The predictive value of nomogram was the strongest compared with CLIF-C ACLF, MELD and MELD-Na and similar to COSSH-ACLF in both the derivation and prospective validation cohorts with APASL ACHBLF, but the CLIF-C ACLF was better in the EASL-CLIF ACHBLF cohort.Conclusions
The proposed nomogram could accurately estimate individualized risk for the short-term mortality of patients with ACHBLF as defined by APASL. 相似文献10.

Background
Anti-TNF therapies infliximab (IFX), adalimumab (ADA), and golimumab (GOL) are approved for treating moderate to severe ulcerative colitis (UC). In UC, only the switch from IFX to ADA has been investigated, reaching no more than 10–43% remission rates at 12 months.Aim
Of the present study was to investigate disease outcome after a switch from subcutaneous (SC) agents to the intravenous (IV) agent (IFX).Methods
In this retrospective multicentre study, we analysed the charts of UC patients unresponsive/intolerant or with secondary loss of response (LOR) to ADA or GOL who were switched to IFX. We evaluated clinical response and remission together with adverse events at 3, 6, and 12 months follow-up.Results
Seventy-six patients were included; 38 patients started ADA and 38 started GOL for a mean therapy duration of 6?±?6 months. Indications for switch were adverse events in 3%, primary failure in 79%, and LOR in 18% of patients. Clinical remission was reached by 47%, 50%, and 77% of patients, respectively. Patients that switched for LOR did numerically, but not statistically, better than patients who switched for primary failure.Conclusions
Our data show a superior remission rate in SC to IV anti-TNF switch in UC compared to the IV to SC switch reported in literature. 相似文献11.

Background
There is no single reliable marker of iron homeostasis in inflammatory bowel disease.Aims
To determine diagnostic usefulness of soluble transferrin receptor and soluble transferrin receptor/log ferritin index in iron deficiency anemia in children with inflammatory bowel disease.Methods
We assessed soluble transferrin receptor in serum and calculated soluble transferrin receptor/log ferritin index in 75 children with inflammatory bowel disease. Diagnostic ability to identify iron deficiency anemia was examined by receiver operating characteristic analysis.Results
Study group comprised 27 cases of iron deficiency anemia, 6 anemia of chronic disease with iron deficiency, 5 anemia of chronic disease. Soluble transferrin receptor was significantly increased in children with iron deficiency anemia (median: 1.63?μg/ml) compared to non-anemic children (median: 1.02?μg/ml). Soluble transferrin receptor/log ferritin index was significantly higher in iron deficiency anemia (median: 1.76) than in anemia of chronic disease (median: 0.55), anemia of chronic disease with iron deficiency (median: 0.68) or patients without anemia (median: 0.72). Soluble transferrin receptor and its index were not correlated with disease activity or inflammatory markers. Diagnostic power for soluble transferrin receptor/log ferritin index (0.864) was superior to soluble transferrin receptor (0.768) in iron deficiency anemia recognition.Conclusion
Soluble transferrin receptor/log ferritin index has better diagnostic utility than soluble transferrin receptor for iron deficiency anemia detection in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease. 相似文献13.

Objectives
To investigate the prevalence of human polyomavirus (BK and JC viruses) infection in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy blood donors.Methods
The study included 250 healthy blood donors. Five-milliliter blood was drawn into sterile EDTA tubes and PBMCs were isolated from whole blood. The isolated PBMCs were counted and stored at ?70 °C for future investigation. DNA was extracted and subjected to simple, sensitive and specific semi-nested PCR as well as QPCR using both general and specific primers for different assays.Results
Of 250 blood samples, 66 (26.4%) were positive for BKV DNA (146–34,514 copies/106 cells). JC DNA was found in 45 (18%) blood samples (65–21,250 copies/106 cells). Co-infection with these viruses were found in 11 (4.4%) out of 250 blood samples.Discussion
Our study provides important data on polyomavirus infection in peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes in immunocompetent individuals. These data indicate significant differences between the prevalence of BKV and JCV infection in healthy blood donors. The prevalence of BK and JC virus infection is higher in the age range 30–39 years compared to other age ranges. 相似文献14.

Setting
Community based five pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) surveys among adults.Objectives
Estimate sensitivity and specificity of screening tools for PTB and sputum microscopy.Methods
For each survey site, we estimated sensitivity and specificity of different screening criteria and microscopy against culture; pooled estimates were obtained using Random Effects Model.Results
Sensitivity of cough alone, screening for any symptom (persistent cough ≥2 weeks, fever or chest pain ≥1 month, hemoptysis), any symptom or history of anti-TB treatment (h/o ATT) were 56.2%, 66% and 71.2% respectively; specificities were 95.3%, 93.8% and 92.7% respectively.X-ray when used alone for primary screening had sensitivity and specificity of 76.6% and 97.3% respectively. When used along with screening for cough, these figures were 94.3% and 93.1%, and 100% and 97.3% when used with any symptom and h/o ATT. When used for secondary screening, sensitivity and specificity of X-ray was 66.8% and 87.8% respectively after primary screening for cough, 65.0% and 89.8% after screening for any symptom, and 67.1% and 86.7% when used after screening for any symptom or h/o ATT.Pooled sensitivity and specificity of smear was 46.2% and 99.3% respectively.Conclusion
Program managers may use these estimates while evaluating algorithms for active case finding. 相似文献15.

Background
Sigmoid volvulus is a common cause of colonic obstruction in old and frail patients. Its standard management includes the endoscopic detorsion of the colonic loop, followed by an elective sigmoidectomy to prevent recurrence. However, these patients are often poor candidates for surgery.Aim
The aim of this study was to compare death rate between elective sigmoidectomy and conservative management following endoscopic detorsion for sigmoid volvulus.Methods
The medical records of 83 patients undergoing endoscopic detorsion of a sigmoid volvulus from 2008 to 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups: ‘elective surgery’ and ‘no surgery’.Results
Patients in the ‘no surgery’ group (n?=?42) were older and had more loss of autonomy than in the ‘elective surgery’ group. Volvulus endoscopic detorsion was successful in 96% of patients with no complications. The median follow-up was 13 months (1 day-67 months). The death rate was 62% in the ‘no surgery’ group versus 32% in the ‘elective surgery’ group (p?=?0.02). In the ‘no surgery’ group, 23/42 of patients had volvulus recurrence. No recurrence occurred after surgery.Conclusion
Elective surgery must be planned as soon as possible after the first episode of sigmoid volvulus. In frail patients, other options must be developed. 相似文献16.

Background
Mother-to-child-transmission (MTCT) is the main route of HIV-1 infection in children. Genetic studies suggest HLA-B alleles play an important role on HIV-1 transmission, progression, and control of HIV-1 infection.Objective
To evaluate which polymorphisms of HLA-B are involved in HIV-1 MTCT.Methods
Two independent reviewers performed a systematic review on search engines PubMed, Europe PMC, Cochrane, Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), and Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Lilacs), using the following key terms: “HIV infection”, “HIV newborn”, “HLA polymorphisms”, “HLA-B”, and “Mother to child transmission”. All studies focusing on evaluation of HIV-1 MTCT, HIV infection evolution, and molecular analyses of HLA-B in children were selected.Results
Nine studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Sixteen HLA-B alleles groups were associated with HIV-1 infection; seven of them (43.8%) were related to slow disease progression or reduced risk of MTCT, while six (37.5%) alleles groups were linked to a faster progression of HIV infection in children and to increased risk of MTCT. The available evidence suggest that HLA-B*57 group allele is associated with slow disease progression, while HLA-B*35 group allele is associated to increased risk of MTCT and rapid disease progression in infected children. The role of HLA-B*18, B*58 and B*44 are still controversial because they were associated to both, protection against MTCT, and to higher HIV replicative capacity, in different studies.Conclusion
HLA-B*57 group allele can be protective against MTCT while HLA-B*35 groups alleles are consistently associated with HIV-1 MTCT. 相似文献17.

Background
Cough of more than two weeks has become sine quo non with pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in a developing country like India. The causes may be different in patients reporting to respiratory OPD vis a vis general OPD.Aims and objectives
To study the prevalence of PTB and causes of cough other than PTB among respiratory OPD attendees with cough of more than two weeks duration.Methods
A cross sectional study was carried out over two years in respiratory OPD of a tertiary care chest center of Indian armed forces. Of the 13,004 patients, 505 non HIV PTB suspects were included. Patients with definitive diagnosis of chronic cough were excluded. Efforts were made to establish diagnosis of pulmonary TB using clinical, microbiological and radiological features. However, patients were also subjected to further evaluation (spirometry, bronchoscopy, CECT) based on clinical features, radiological and lab profile to establish definitive diagnosis.Results
Out of the 505 patients, 10.5% patients had smear positive pulmonary TB, 13.5% smear negative PTB, bronchial asthma (24%), COPD (9.3%), diffuse parenchymal lung diseases (DPLD's) (12.5%), bronchiectasis (6.3%), lung cancer (5.3%) and congestive cardiac failure (4.2%).Conclusion
Though prevalence of PTB in the study correlated well with the national statistics, but a significant number of patients had other causes of chronic cough, especially, obstructive airway diseases and DPLDs. Thus, there is a need to spread awareness regarding other causes of chronic cough and all efforts should be made to establish alternate diagnosis especially in patients who do not conclusively have PTB. 相似文献18.

Background
Biologics against tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) have dramatically changed the management of moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis (UC). In pivotal clinical trials, golimumab showed efficacy as induction and maintenance therapy in anti-TNF naïve UC patients. However, confirmatory data on effectiveness in the real world setting are needed.Aim
to summarize recent evidence on the effectiveness of golimumab in observational real-world studies.Methods
A literature search was conducted using Medline, Embase, and congresses databases for English language articles or abstracts on the effectiveness of golimumab published between January 1, 2014 and May 15, 2018. Pooled short-term (6–14 weeks) and mid- and long-term (24–54 weeks) clinical response and remission rates were calculated.Results
24 abstracts were included; of those 8 were published full-text articles and 16 were abstracts from medical conferences. Overall, pooled short-term clinical response and remission rates were 59.3% (range 35–85.5%; 13 studies; 1429 patients) and 35.9% (range 14–51.7%; 9 studies; 666 patients), respectively. Pooled mid- and long-term clinical response and remission rates were 60.3% (range 37.1–89.5%; 4 studies; 356 patients) and 39.2% (range 12–84%; 8 studies; 822 patients), respectively.Conclusions
Results: of observational studies confirm that golimumab is an effective therapy for UC in clinical practice. 相似文献19.
