Objective To judge the effect by understanding the change of the blood related indexes before and after the applica-tion of lamivudine combined with silibinin treatment for treating E antigen positive chronic hepatitis B to provide the basis for the individualized therapy.Methods 226 cases of E antigen positive chronic hepatitis B were selected and divided into the mild group (55 cases),moderate group (94 cases)and severe group(77 cases)according to the degree of liver function injury.The 3 groups were given oral lamivudine 100 mg once daily and oral silybinin 70mg,3 times a day.The course of treatment was 6 months;the re-lated blood indexes before and after treatment were analyzed.Results After 6 months of treatment,the recovery rate of ALT,E an-tigen negative conversion rate and HBV-DNA negative conversion rate in the mild group and the moderate group were improved in different degrees,and those in the severe group were significantly increased(P <0.05).Conclusion Lamivudine combined with sili-binin treatment can inhibit the replication of HBV-DNA more effectively,promote the recovery rate of serum ALT significantly,im-prove the E antigen negative conversion rate,especially for the patients with severe liver function injury;which improve the curative effect in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B in some extent.

Objective To analyze clinical features of patients with chikungunya fever and provide future reference for prevention and control of the disease. Methods Forty-six confirmed chikungunya fever inpatients were included. Their clinical symptoms, signs, blood count, key biochemical indicators and treatments were analyzed. The comparison between groups were done by ttest. Results The percentages of total cases presenting with fever, rash and joint pain were 100. 0% (46/46), 91. 3% (42/46) and 89. 1% (41/46), respectively. Fifteen (32.6%) cases displayed leucopenia. Increases in lactose dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase (CK) were observed in 45. 5%(20/44) and 28. 9%(13/45) of the cases, respectively. Three cases displayed an increase of alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Administration of ribavarin extend febrile time compared to symptom-relieving treatments (t=2. 588, P = 0. 013). Conclusions Clinical features of chikungunya fever include fever, rash and joint pain. Good prognosis can be resulted from symptom-relieving treatment. Antiviral treatment may not be beneficial to reducing course of disease.
