RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo investigate the influencing factors for persistent low-level viremia (LLV) in chronic hepatitis B(CHB) patients receiving long-term entecavir antiviral therapy. MethodsThe CHB patients who received entecavir antiviral therapy for at least one year in The Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from November 2018 to June 2020 were enrolled as subjects, and according to HBV DNA load at the end of the observation period, the patients were divided into LLV group and sustained virological response (SVR) group. Demographic features and laboratory markers were observed for all patients. The independent samples t-test or the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors for LLV in patients receiving long-term entecavir treatment. ResultsA total of 560 CHB patients were enrolled, with 204 in the LLV group and 356 in the SVR group. There were significant differences between the two groups in age (Z=-3.530, P＜0.001), sex (χ2=4.270, P=0.039), presence or absence of liver cirrhosis (χ2=53.879, P＜0.001), medication compliance (χ2=5.326, P=0.021), HBeAg positive rate (χ2=90.681, P＜0.001), baseline HBV DNA load before treatment (Z=-8.337, P＜0.001), baseline HBsAg quantification (Z=-10.472, P＜0.001), and medication type (χ2=7.558, P=0.006). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that baseline HBeAg status before treatment (odds ratio ［OR］=3.381, 95% confidence interval ［CI］: 1.985-5.756, P＜0.001), HBV DNA load before treatment (OR=1.223, 95%CI: 1.050-1.424, P=0.010), and HBsAg quantification before treatment (OR=2.448, 95%CI: 1.743-3.438, P＜0.001) were risk factors for LLV in long-term entecavir antiviral therapy. ConclusionIn clinical practice, CHB patients with high HBV DNA load, high HBsAg quantification, and positive HBeAg tend to have a high risk of LLV even after long-term entecavir antiviral therapy. Therefore, such population should be taken seriously with the dynamic monitoring of HBsAg quantification, HBV DNA load, and HBeAg status.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate whether myricetin (Myr) exert protective effects on acute lung injury induced by LPS and to explore its underlying mechanisms. Methods A total of 72 mice were divided into the control group, model group, myricetin group and active group, 18 in each group. Male BALB/c mice of the myricetin were given an intragastric injection of Myr (50 mg/kg), and the active group dexamethasone (Dex, 5 mg/kg) 1 h before intranasal instillation of LPS. While the other groups were given the same volum saline. 24 hours after LPS exposure, mice were sacrificed and various samples were collected for further analysis. Both levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were measured by ELISA kits. The numbers of total cells, macrophages, and neutrophils in the BALF were also determined using differential leukocyte cell count method. The phosphorylations of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) and IκB were further detected by western blot analysis. Results Compared with the model group, the levels of macrophages and neutrophils in BALF in the myricetin and active groups significantly decreased (P<0.01), while the total protein and W/D ratio of the lung tissue significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the levels of TNF-α (5.47 ± 2.54 pg/ml, 4.19 ± 0.50 pg/ml vs. 15.28 ± 1.27 pg/ml), IL-1β(336.20 ± 41.06 pg/ml, 247.99 ± 25.12 pg/ml vs. 464.88 ± 34.51pg/ml), the MPO (0.74 ± 0.12 U/g, 0.61 ± 0.08 U/g vs. 1.66 ± 0.07U/g) in the myricetin and active groups significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the expression of p-IκB/IκB (0.61 ± 0.01, 0.59 ± 0.01 vs. 0.95 ± 0.01), p-NF-κB/NF-κB (0.54 ± 0.01, 0.59 ± 0.03 vs. 0.96 ± 0.02) of the lung tissue in the myricetin and active groups significantly decreased (P<0.01). Conclusions Collectively, these findings revealed that Myr may alleviate the LPS-induced acute lung injury via relief of inflammatory reactions associated with blockage of the NF-κB signaling pathway.

For controlling the quality of sea buckthornoil, a reversed phase-high performance liquid chro-matography (RP-HPLC) method was establishedto determine the a-Tocopherol contents. Aftersaponated, the sea buckthorn oil samples were ex-tracted by ethyl ether. The extraction liquid wascondensed and tben dissolved in anhydreousethanol for liquid chromatographic analysis. Chro-matographic conditions were as follows: ZORBAXODS column (4. 6 ? 150 mm); methanol as mobilephase (1. 0 ml/min); the wavelength of UV detec-tor: 280 nm. Three branches of sea buckthornseed oil and three branches of fruit oil which wereproduced by Yongshou County, Shaanxi Provincewere determined. The average contents of a-Toco-pherol were 989 mg/kg, and 1745 mg/kg, respec-tively. The recoveries of this method were 98. 6%(for seed oil), 102. 2% (for fruit oil) with CV lessthan 5. 44%.
