Impact of Fuzheng Huayu tablet on antiviral effect of entecavir in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis

BackgroundFuzheng Huayu tablet is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) used for the treatment of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. However, whether the combination with Fuzheng Huayu tablet could affect the antiviral efficacy of nucleos(t)ide remains a concern. The objective of this trial was to explore the impact of Fuzheng Huayu tablet on antiviral effect of entecavir in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis.MethodsA prospective, randomized control trial was conducted. Patients with compensated hepatitis B cirrhosis were randomly divided into the treatment group (entecavir capsule plus Fuzheng Huayu tablet) and the control group (entecavir capsule plus simulant of Fuzheng Huayu), and followed up for 48 weeks. The dynamic changes of HBV DNA load, the rate of serological conversion of HBeAg, liver function, renal function and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) were monitored. The general clinical data and adverse events were also recorded.ResultsThere was no significant difference in the rate of virological response and cumulative virological response between the treatment group and the control group (P > 0.05). After 48 weeks of treatment, the HBeAg seroconversion rate, biochemical response rate and LSM value were 21.05% and 4.76% (P = 0.164), 86.96% and 65.96% (P = 0.017), 9.5 kpa and 10.6 kpa (P = 0.827) in the treatment group and the control group, respectively. No serious adverse events related to the study therapy occurred during the trial.ConclusionsThe antiviral entecavir combined with Fuzheng Huayu tablet did not affect the antiviral efficacy of entecavir, but could improve the rate of biochemical response, and had a tendency to improve the rate of serological conversion of HBeAg and liver fibrosis in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis. Fuzheng Huayu tablet is clinically safe for patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis.

Validation of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF/CCN2) and its gene polymorphisms as noninvasive biomarkers for the assessment of liver fibrosis

Summary.  Clinical and experimental studies have demonstrated that connective-tissue growth factor (CTGF) expression is increased in fibrotic human liver and experimental animal models of liver fibrogenesis. CTGF has been linked to transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) pathways in fibroproliferative diseases and specific polymorphisms within the CTGF gene may predispose for fibrosis in systemic sclerosis. As CTGF is detectable in various human fluids (serum, plasma and urine), it may provide information about fibrotic remodelling processes and reflect hepatic TGF-β bioactivity. We established a novel ELISA for the measurement of serum CTGF and tested its clinical value in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and chronic liver disease (CLD). HCV infected patients ( n  =   138) had significantly higher serum CTGF levels than healthy controls. CTGF was linked to the histological degree of liver fibrosis. To expand the results to other aetiologies, a separate cohort of CLD patients ( n  =   129) was evaluated, showing higher serum CTGF than healthy controls and again an association with advanced stages of liver cirrhosis (Child B and C). Although independent of the underlying aetiology, serum CTGF was most powerful in indicating fibrosis/advanced disease states in HCV-related disorders. The genotyping of six polymorphisms (rs6917644, rs9399005, rs6918698, rs9493150, rs2151532 and rs11966728) covering the CTGF locus in 365 patients suffering from chronic hepatitis C revealed that none of these polymorphisms showed a genotypic or allelic association with the severity of hepatic fibrosis. Taken together, serum CTGF is suitable for determination of hepatic fibrosis and most powerful in patients with chronic HCV infection.     

Diagnostic value of serum type IV collagen test in comparison with platelet count for predicting the fibrotic stage in patients with chronic hepatitis C

BACKGROUND: AND AIM: The serum type IV collagen test is now used as a diagnostic aid for the detection of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. Recently, a platelet count has been reported to be a useful marker for assessing the fibrotic stage in chronic hepatitis C. The aim of this study was to compare the usefulness of the serum type IV collagen test and platelet count for diagnosing the fibrotic stage in chronic hepatitis C patients. METHODS: The diagnostic values were assessed by the use of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis in 165 patients with chronic hepatitis C, with the exception of those patients with cirrhosis. RESULTS: The serum type IV collagen level increased, and the platelet count decreased significantly with the progression of fibrosis staging. As judged from ROC curves, the serum type IV collagen test was more useful than the platelet count for differentiating moderate or severe fibrosis from no or mild fibrosis. At a cut-off value of 110 ng/mL, the serum type IV collagen test had an overall diagnostic accuracy of 75%, while at a cut-off value of 16 x 10(4)/mm(3), the platelet count had a diagnostic accuracy of 70%. The serum type IV collagen test and platelet count were similar in differentiating severe fibrosis from no, mild or moderate fibrosis. Both serum type IV collagen (at a cut-off value of 130 ng/mL) and platelet count (at a cut-off value of 14 x 10(4)/mm(3)) had a diagnostic accuracy of 73%. CONCLUSION: The serum type IV collagen test was slightly superior to the platelet count for assessing the fibrotic stage in patients with chronic hepatitis C.
