Hepatitis B virus ( HBV) is an important pathogen threatening to human health. Up to date, various of cell infection models and animal models for HBV and the host are widely used in the exploring research of infection mechanism, new drug development and effective therapeutic method for HBV. However, these models have some defects, such as low infection rate, rather short infective stage, and comparatively large species differences with human, and so on. Among them, the biggest problem is that these models cannot completely simulate HBV infection process and pathological changes naturally occurred in human. Herein, the major HBV infection models developed in the past fifteen years, as well as the latest research progress, are presented as a brief review, to provide a reference for constructing novel HBV infection models in the future.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of linked color imaging (LCI) technology on Helicobacter pylori (HP)-related gastritis. Methods Forty patients who were diagnosed as chronic gastritis using blue laser imaging endoscopy in Shenzhen Hospital of Southern Medical University during November 2016 to June 2017 were enrolled in this study. The appearance of gastric mucosa was observed using conventional white light imaging and LCI. Biopsies were taken under white light imaging according to biopsy pathological diagnosis consensus, and the ones from abnormal reddening area were taken under LCI. 13C-urea breath test (13C-UBT) was performed in all 40 patients. The consistency between the two observation methods and final pathological diagnosis was evaluated using Kappa test, and the diagnostic consistency of the two methods was compared using Mc Nemar paired Chi-square test.Results The positive predictive value of white light imaging and LCI for prediction of HP infection was 54. 5%(6/11) and 81. 5%(22/27), respectively.The consistency between white light imaging diagnosis and final pathological diagnosis was 0. 475 (19/40), Kappa=0. 635; the consistency between LCI diagnosis and final pathological diagnosis was 0. 875 (35/40), Kappa=0. 741. Mc Nemar paired Chi-square test showed that the consistency between the two methods had significant difference (P<0. 01). 13C-UBT showed that 19 patients were positive and 21 negative. Among the 19 positive patients, 1 case was diagnosed as HP negative by pathology under LCI; and among the 21 negative patients, 4 cases were diagnosed as HP negative by pathology under LCI.The consistency between pathological diagnosis and 13C-UBT was good (Kappa=0. 751). The red-white boundary and diffuse redness of gastric mucosa were observed in 15 and 11 cases under LCI, respectively, while unobserved under white light imaging.The Wilcoxon signed ranks test showed that there was a significant difference between white light imaging and LCI on the appearance of gastric mucosa (Z=-4. 455, P<0. 01). Conclusion LCI is more useful for diagnosis of HP-related chronic gastritis than white light imaging.

Objective:To explore the value of linaclotide combined with compound polyethylene glycol electrolytes powder (PEG) for bowel preparation for colonoscopy.Methods:A randomized and single blind prospective clinical study was conducted in patients who intended to receive colonoscopy at the Department of Gastroenterology in Shenzhen Hospital, Southern Medical University from June 2021 to August 2021. One hundred and fifty-two patients in the experimental group were treated with 580 μg linaclotide + 2 L PEG, and 152 patients in the control group were treated with 3 L PEG. The bowel preparation effects including Boston bowel preparation scale (BBPS) score, bubble score and lesion detection rate, and safety (adverse events) were compared between the two groups.Results:The total BBPS scores were 9 (8, 9) in the experimental group, and 9 (9, 9) in the control group with no significant difference ( Z=0.141, P=0.888). The bubble scores were 1 (1, 2) in the experimental group, and 1 (1, 1) in the control group with no significant difference ( Z=1.788, P=0.074). There was no significant difference in detection rate of lesions between the experimental group and the control group [37.50% (57/152) VS 33.55% (51/152), χ2=0.517, P=0.472]. There was no significant difference in safety including incidence of nausea [7.24% (11/152) VS 13.16% (20/152), χ2=2.910, P=0.088], vomiting [2.63% (4/152) VS 7.24% (11/152), χ2=3.436, P=0.064], abdominal distension [7.89% (12/152) VS 11.84% (18/152), χ2=1.331, P=0.249] and abdominal pain [2.63% (4/152) VS 4.61% (7/152), χ2=0.849, P=0.357] between the experimental group and the control group. Conclusion:Linaclotide combined with PEG for colonoscopic bowel preparation reduces drinking water volume. The cleaning effect and safety are comparable to using 3 L PEG. It can be recommended for bowel preparation for colonoscopy.
