ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of 3 therapeutic schemes in the treatment of chronic Hepatitis B with YMDD mutation.METHODS: 90 patients were randomly assigned into three groups: the patients in Group A were assigned to receive Adefovir Dipivoxil in combination with Lamivudine for 12 weeks followed by administration of Adefovir alone for 36 weeks;Group B received Adefovir in combination with Lamivudine for 48 weeks,while Group C received Entecavir alone for 48 weeks.The cost-effectiveness of the 3 groups were analyzed.RESULTS: In the three groups(A,B,and C),the cost-effectiveness ratios for HBV DNA negative-conversion ratewere 12 685.6,15 481.3,and 31 462.2,respectively and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratios of Group B and Group C were 29 501.5 and 106 907.8 respectively as against Group A.The cost-effectiveness ratios of the three Groups(A,B,and C) for serum alanine aminotransferase normalization rate were 12 685.6,14 284.9,31 462.2 respectively,and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratios of Group B and Group C were 19 618.5 and 106 907.8 respectively as against Group A.The cost-effectiveness ratios of the three Groups(A,B,and C) for HBeAg/HBeAb seroconversion rate were 76 227.9,93 120.3,and 209 664.0 respectively,and the incremental cost-effectiveness ratios of Group B and Group C were 178 350.0 and 1 267 621.4 respectively as against Group A.In Group A,1 case showed rtA181V mutation and another one showed rtN236T mutation after 48-week treatment.CONCLUSION: Group B(ADV in combination with LAM) is more cost-effective in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B with YMDD mutation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between apolipoprotein (Apo) e4 allele and endothelium dependent arterial dilation in females with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods One hundred and one female type 2 diabetic patients without angiopathy, aged 40 71 years, and 95 healthy female individuals were selected. PCR/allele specific oligonucleotide probes were used to determine Apo e genotypes, and high resolution ultrasound was applied to measure brachial artery flow mediated endothelium dependent dilation and glyceryltrinitrate (GNT) mediated endothelium independent dilation. Results (1) In both diabetic patients and healthy individuals, the flow mediated endothelium dependent arterial dilation in subjects with e4/3 or e4/4 genotypes was (3.22?0.29)% and (3.78?0.34)% respectively, which were significantly lower than those in subjects with e2/2 or e3/2 genotypes 〔(3.96?0.33)% and (4.74?0.41)%, P
