BACKGROUND: Although interferon (IFN) has been approved in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B in children, it is effective only in 30-40% of patients. In some studies it has been suggested that therapeutic use of anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine may be beneficial in patients with chronic hepatitis B. The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of hepatitis B vaccination and IFN-alpha-2b in combination and IFN-alpha-2b monotherapy in children with chronic hepatitis B. METHODS: Fifty treatment-naive children with chronic hepatitis B infection were randomly assigned to receive either 5 million units/m(2) recombinant IFN-alpha-2b subcutaneously three times per week for 9 months, and pre-S2/S vaccine at the beginning and 4 and 24 weeks after initiation of IFN therapy (n = 25) or recombinant IFN-alpha-2b (5 million units/m(2) subcutaneously thrice weekly) alone for 9 months (n = 25). Children were followed for at least 6 months after the end of therapy. RESULTS: There was no statistically significant difference in the mean alanine aminotransferase levels, histologic activity index and fibrosis scores between combination and IFN monotherapy groups at the end of the therapy and end of the follow-up period. When combination and monotherapy groups were compared, the mean HBV-DNA values were significantly reduced in combination group at the end of the therapy (P = 0.004), but no statistically significant difference was found at the end of the follow up. Sustained HBeAg seroconversion with clearance of HBV-DNA was obtained in 13 of 25 children (52%) treated with combination therapy, and in eight of 25 patients (32%) treated with IFN monotherapy (P = 0.251). CONCLUSION: Although the difference was statistically insignificant, the sustained response rates were better in the combination therapy group than in the monotherapy group. The potential benefit of combining IFN and hepatitis B vaccine should be investigated in further studies with different regimens of combination therapy. 相似文献

We describe 120 patients with regional lymphadenitis following intradermal BCG vaccination. Seventy-eight of the patients were given medical therapy to prevent drainage and suppuration, and 42 patients were followed up without such treatment. The medical therapy group is divided into three subgroups: 36 were given erythromycin stearate, 21 isoniazid, and 21 isoniazid plus rifampin. No statistical difference in the incidence of spontaneous drainage and suppuration was found between the "no therapy" and the "medical therapy" groups. No significant superiority of any specific therapy was shown. If lymphadenitis develops rapidly (in two months), the incidence of spontaneous drainage and suppuration is significantly higher than in patients with slowly developing lesions. Total surgical excision is recommended to prevent spontaneous drainage and chronic suppuration in these rapidly evolving instances. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The pathogenic role of TT virus (TTV) is not clear in patients with chronic hepatitis B. The aims of the present study were to determine the frequency of TTV positivity in serum and saliva samples and the possible role of TTV in children with chronic hepatitis B. METHODS: Sera and saliva from 29 healthy children and 25 children with chronic hepatitis B were tested for TTV-DNA by means of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). RESULTS: Fifty-two percent (13/25) of the serum samples and 32% (8/25) of the saliva samples were positive for TTV-DNA in children with chronic hepatitis B. In healthy non-transfused children, TTV-DNA was detected in 58% (17/29) of the serum samples and 41% (12/29) of the saliva samples. Six (46%) of 13 children with chronic hepatitis and 10 (59%) of 17 healthy children had TTV-DNA positivity both in serum and saliva samples. Two serum samples were negative for TTV-DNA while the saliva samples were positive for TTV-DNA in chronic hepatitis B and control groups. Mean age, sex, serum alanine aminotransferase levels, hepatitis B virus (HBV)-DNA values were similar in TTV-positive and -negative children with chronic hepatitis B. However, total histologic activity index (HAI), periportal necrosis and portal inflammation scores were significantly higher in children with HBV-DNA and TTV-DNA viremia (P = 0.013, P = 0.008, P = 0.015, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Because total HAI, periportal necrosis and portal inflammation scores were higher in children with TTV coinfection, TTV infection may contribute to the progression of liver damage in children with chronic hepatitis B. 相似文献

Background: Helicobacter pylori infection has been proposed to have a role in the development of atherosclerosis preceded by endothelial dysfunction. The aim of the present study was to determine if a relationship exists between H. pylori infection in childhood and endothelial dysfunction and level of high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hsCRP). Methods: Between October 2003 and November 2004, 28 subjects who were anti‐H. pylori IgG‐positive and 25 who were anti‐H. pylori IgG‐negative were included in the study. Mean ages of the H. pylori‐positive and negative groups were not significantly different. Endothelial functions were evaluated on Doppler ultrasonography of the brachial artery. Percent ratio of the change in systolic diameter during hyperemic phase to the basal diameter was evaluated. Each subject’s serum was tested for hsCRP, homocysteine and lipids. Results: Percent ratio of the change in systolic diameters during hyperemic phase to the basal diameter was not significantly different between the H. pylori‐negative and ‐positive groups (P > 0.29). Mean levels of hsCRP were also not significantly different (1.48 ± 1.8 g/dL vs 2.35 ± 3.33 g/dL; P > 0.24). Similarly, serum levels of lipids and homocysteine were not significantly different (P > 0.05 for all lipids). Conclusions: Non‐invasive techniques used in the present study were not indicative of early findings of atherosclerosis in H. pylori infection during childhood. Further studies are required to evaluate the relationship between early endothelial dysfunction and H. pylori infection in children with cardiovascular risk factors. 相似文献

Leukotrienes (LTs) are cell-membrane derived lipid inflammatory mediators, synthesized and eliminated by the liver. LTs have effects on liver cells in some pathological conditions. In this study, we measured plasma endogenous and liberated leukotriene (LT) concentration in peripheral blood leukocytes stimulated in vitro by the calcium ionophore (CaA23187) and platelet-activating factor (PAF). Production of LTs was measured in type A (n=37) and type B (n=10) acute hepatitis patients and control subjects (n=10). LTs levels were measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and radioimmunoassay (RIA). The concentration of LTB4 measured in plasma and stimulated peripheral blood leukocyte supernatants of children with hepatitis A infection was found to be statistically elevated and in positive correlation with serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels. In plasma samples of hepatitis B patients, LTC4 and LTE4 were measured in significantly elevated concentrations. These results suggest that LTB4 may be a critical mediator of hepatitis A virus-induced hepatocellular injury. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND AIM: The aim of the present study was to compare the therapeutic efficacy of three different regimens in childhood chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection. METHODS: A total of 182 children with CHB infection were prospectively allocated to three random groups. Sixty-two patients in the first group received high-dose interferon (IFN)-alpha 2b (10 MU/m2) thrice/weekly alone for 6 months. In the second (n = 60) and third groups (n = 60), IFN-alpha was used for 6 months (5 MU/m2) thrice/weekly in combination with lamivudine (LAM) (4 mg/kg, maximum 100 mg/day) for 12 months. Lamivudine was started simultaneously with IFN in the second group, while it was started 2 months prior to IFN injections in the third group. RESULTS: The initial mean alanine aminotransferase (ALT) values for the first, second and third groups were 109 +/- 93 IU/L, 101 +/- 64 IU/L and 92 +/- 42 IU/L, respectively (P > 0.05). At the end of the therapy, ALT values decreased to 82 +/- 111 IU/L, 38 +/- 41 IU/L and 29 +/- 16 IU/L in groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The mean ALT value of the first group was significantly different to the second and third groups (P = 0.046 and P = 0.002, respectively) at the end of the therapy and these differences were found to be sustained after 18 months. However, results in the second and third groups were similar (P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in HBeAg clearance and anti-HBe seroconversion at the initial stage, 12 months and 18 months between the three groups (P > 0.05). Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA clearance in the first group was different from the second and third groups, while the second and third groups had similar HBV DNA clearance ratios at 12 and 18 months. No significant difference was found in the complete response (normalization of ALT, clearance of HBV DNA and seroconversion of anti HBe) ratios of all groups (at 12 months: 28.8, 45.5, 35.8% and at 18 months 33.3, 49 and 34% in groups 1, 2 and 3, respectively, P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Although the ALT normalization and HBV DNA clearance ratios of IFN plus LAM combination groups were better than the high-dose IFN-alpha monotherapy group, no significant difference was found in the complete response ratios of all three groups. 相似文献

Thirty-six patients with intrabiliary rupture of hepatic echinococcal cysts were managed between 1974 and 1993. Clinical findings, skin tests, serologic tests, and imaging techniques were used to establish the diagnosis. Twenty-five (69.4%) patients had pain, 24 (66.6%) jaundice 22 (61.1%) fever, 20 (55.5%) chills, 10 (27.7%) malaise, and 7 (19.4%) other symptoms as the major causes of admission. All patients underwent choledochotomy and T-tube drainage. Treatment directed to the cyst was cystectomy and capittonage, cystectomy and drainage, and partial hepatectomy in 22, 12, and 2 patients, respectively. Omentoplasty was added to the treatment in 10 patients. Seven (19.4%) patients had complications. The period of hospitalization for patients with and without complications was 34.6±18.1 and 15.1±2.7, days, respectively. This study indicates that better results are obtained in patients with cystic lesions of the liver by avoiding percutaneous puncture or biopsy, the early use of ultrasonography and computed tomography, evacuation of the cyst together with its germinative membrane and the involved biliary tract under adequate care to avoid spillage into the peritoneal cavity, treating the remaining cavity according to its location, size, and the presence of infection, and decreasing the pressure in the biliary tract by T-tube drainage.
Resumen Treinta y seis pacientes con ruptura intrabiliar de un quiste equinocóccico fueron manejados entre 1974 y 1993. Se utilizaron los hallazgos clínicos, pruebas cutáneas, pruebas serológicas y técnicas de imagenología para establecer el diagnóstico. Como causa principal de la hospitalización, 25 (69.4%) pacientes presentaban dolor, 24 (66.6%) ictericia, 22 (61.1%) fiebre, 20 (55.5%) escalofríos, 10 (27.7%) malestar general y 7 (19.4%) otros síntomas. La totalidad de los pacientes fue sometida a coledocotomía y drenaje con tubo en T. El tratamiento específico contra el quiste consistió en cistectomía y capitonaje, cistectomía y drenaje y hepatectomía parcial en 22,12 y 2 pacientes, respectivamente. Se añadió omentoplastia en 10 pacientes; 7 (19.4%) de los casos desarrollaron complicaciones. El período de hospitalización en los pacientes con y sin complicaciones fue de 36.6±18.1 y 15.1±2.7 días, respectivamente. El presente estudio indica que se logran mejores resultados en el manejo de las lesiones quísticas del hígado evitando la punción o biopsia percutáneas; utilizando precozmente el ultrasonido y la tomografía computadorizada; practicando la evacuación del quiste junto con su membrana germinativa y del tracto biliar afectado bajo con meticuloso cuidado para evitar la contaminación de la cavidad peritoneal; haciendo tratamiento de la cavidad residual de acuerdo con su ubicación, tamaño y la presencia de infección; y disminuyendo la presión en el tracto biliar mediante drenaje con tubo en T.
Résumé Trente-six patients ayant une rupture dans les voies biliaires d'un kyste hydatique ont été traités entre 1974 et 1993. Les données cliniques, les tests cutanés, sérologiques et des techniques d'imagerie ont été utilisées pour arriver au diagnostic. Vingt-cinq (69.4%) patients se sont plaints de douleur, 24 (66.6%) d'ictère, 22 (61.1%) de fièvre, 20 (55.5%) de frissons, 10 (27.7%) de malaise et 7 (19.4%) d'autre symptômes comme motif d'hospitalisation. Tous les patients ont eu une cholédochotomie et un drainage par drain de Kehr. Le traitement du kyste a été une kystectomie associé à un capitonnage, une kystectomie associé à un drainage et une hépatectomie partielle chez 22, 12 et deux patients, respectivement. On a ajouté une omentoplastie chez 10 patients. L'évolution a été compliquée chez sept (19.4%) patients. La durée d'hospitalisation avec et sans complications a été de 3.6±18.1 et 15.1±2.7 jours, respectivement. Cette étude indique que de meilleurs résultats sont obtenus lorsque l'on s'abstient de la ponction percutanée ou de biopsie percutanée, lorsque l'on utilise l'échographic et la tomodensitométrie pour le diagnostic à un stade précoce, lorsque l'on évacue le kyste et enlève la membrane germinative et la portion de la voie biliaire intéressée, sans déversement du contenu dans la cavité péritonéale, lorsque l'on traite la cavité résiduelle selon son site, la taille du kyste et la présence d'infection, et lorsque l'on diminue la pression dans la voie biliaire par un drainage externe.相似文献

The aims of our study were: (1) to evaluate the frequency of asymptomatic fatty liver disease (FLD) using both Doppler and
B-mode ultrasound (US) in overweight and obese adolescents; (2) to compare metabolic findings of fatty liver (FL) assessed
by two methods; and (3) to evaluate metabolic predictors of FL shown by these methods. Fifty-nine overweight and obese adolescents
aged between 9.0 and 17.0 years and 41 non-obese healthy adolescents were included in this study. B-mode and right hepatic
vein Doppler ultrasonography (US) were performed and anthropometric indices, lipid profiles, and adiponectin levels were evaluated
in all adolescents. HDL-C levels were significantly lower in patients with FL detected by Doppler US compared to patients
without FL (p < 0.05). HDL-C levels were inversely correlated with presence of FL assessed by two methods (r = −0.285, p = 0.004; r = −0.328, p = 0.001, respectively) and adiponectin levels were correlated with presence of FL only detected by B-mode US (r = −0.263, p = 0.008). Adiponectin levels were significantly lower in patients with FL than those without FL assessed by B-Mode US (p = 0.049). Multiple regression analysis revealed that HDL-C levels was the most important predictor of FL assessed by Doppler
US (p = 0.027), while body mass index was the determinant of FL assessed by two methods (p < 0.001) in asymptomatic overweight and obese adolescents. It was found that FLD, identified by both B-mode and Doppler US,
is seen frequently in asymptomatic overweight and obese adolescents. Elevated BMI is associated with increased risk of FL
assessed by two ultrasonographic methods. When using Doppler US, low HDL-C levels can be used as a good predictor for presence
of FLD in overweight and obese adolescents. 相似文献

Ectopic thyroid tissue can be seen anywhere along the path of the descending glands, but it is rarely seen in the abdominal
cavity. An ectopic thyroid was encountered incidentally in the pancreas of a 50-year-old woman who underwent a bilateral truncal
vagotomy and pyloroplasty for a duodenal ulcer. There were no signs or symptoms of a thyroid tumor. 相似文献
