Subjects in the control group (52 cases) received no specific treatment. Blood specimens were tested for HBsAg, HBeAg, and HBV-DNA in all maternities at 28-wk of gestation, before delivery, and in their newborns 24 hours before the administration of immune prophylaxis.RESULTS: Reductions of HBV DNA in both treatments were significant (P＜0.05). The rate of neonatal intrauterine HBV infection was significantly lower in HBIG group (16.1%)and lamivudine group (16.3 %) compared with control group (32.7 %) (P＜0.05), but there was no significant difference between HBIG group and lamivudine group (P＞0.05). No side effects were found in all the pregnant women or their newborns.CONCLUSION: The risk of HBV intrauterine infection can be effectively reduced by administration of HBIG or Lamivudine in the 3rd trimester of HBsAg positive pregnant women.展开更多

Fifty seven cases in th HBIG group received 200 IU (unit) HBIG intramuscularly every 4 wk from the 28 wk of gestation to the time of delivery, while 55 cases in the control group received no special treatment. HBsAg, HBeAg, HBcAb, HBeAb, HBsAb and HBV DNA levels were tested in the peripheral blood specimens from all of the mothers at 28 wk of gestation, just before delivery, and in blood from their newborns within 24 h before administration of immune prophylaxis.RESULTS: The intrauterine infection rate in HBIG group and control group were 10.5% and 27.3%, respectively, with significant difference (P<0.05). It showed ascendant trend as HBV DNA levels in the peripheral blood increased before delivery.CONCLUSION: HBIG is potent to cut down HBV intrauterine infection rate significantly when administered to pregnant women regularly during late pregnancy. The possibility of HBV intrauterine infection increases if maternal blood HBV DNA≥10^8 copies/mL.展开更多

METHODS: Retrospectively reviewed 320 cases of chronic liver failure caused by hepatitis viruses. An improved group and an ineffective group (IG) were made to compare and analyze their clinical manifestations, laboratory examination indices and complications. Logistic regression was also carried out. RESULTS: There were significant differences (P<0.05) between the improved group and the IG upon such indices as age, bilirubin, prothrombin time, albumin, alpha fetoprotein, the size of liver and complications (P<0.05). The regression formula was as follows: P=1/(1+e^(-y)) (y=1.7262-0.0948X_1+2.9846X_2+0.6992X_3+1.6019X_4+2.0398X_5). (Note: X_1-Prothrombin activity; X_2-digestive tract hemorrhage; X_3-hepatic encephalopathy; A_4-hepatorenal syndrome; X_5-pulmonary infection.). CONCLUSION: Laboratory examination such as bilirubin, prothrombin time and alpha fetoprotein can be regarded as indices of the prognoses of chronic liver failure caused by hepatitis. Moreover, the regression equation can evaluate prognoses more comprehensively and direct our treatments.展开更多
