Objectives To evaluate the relationship between the expression of B7-1 in liver tissue and the effect of interferon- alpha(α- IFN) treatment in patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB).Methods The expression of B7 -1in liver biopsy specimens from 68 CHB patients was studied with immunohistochemistry before α-IFN treatment.Results B7-1 was expressed in 45(66.2%) liver tissues among 68 patients with CHB,but none in 5 normal controls.The total response ratio of α- IFN in patients with B7-1 positive was 66.7%(30/45),which was significantly higherthan 39.1%(9/23)in the patients with B7-1 negative(x2 =7.20,P <0.01).B7-1 expression was closely corelat-ed with the histological activity grade(HAI) and serum alanine transaminase(ALT) level.Conclusions The level of B7-1 expression in liver tissue may be regarded as an effective parameter for predicting α-IFN response in patients with CHB.

A solid-phase radioimmunoassay (RIA) method was developed for detection of HBsAg. Its reprodu-cibility. sensitivity and specificity were evaluated, and these results were compared with the Abbott kit (AUSRIA).Horse anti-HBs was used both for coating solid phase and iodination. Normal horse serum was applied in the labelled antiserum to prevent the non-specific reaction between different species of animal sera.The cutoff was 2.21? negative control value. The factor 2.21 was derived from the mean S/N value and its 3 SD of 553 normal sera, while the factor of AUSRIA was 2.1. The lowest detectable amount of HBsAg by our RIA method was 4. 1ng/ml, while that by AUSRIA 2. 1ng/ml, which was about 2 times more sensitive than our system.The prevalence of HBsAg in normal population detected by this RIA ranged from 12.9 to 17.7%. that in the patients with acute viral hepatitis was 60.6%. and in chronic viral hepatitis patients 89.9%.As hepatitis B virus infection is quite common in our country, it is important and urgent to use RIA widely to detect HBsAg carrier in the clinical diagnosis, selection of donors and epidemiological investigation.

Objective To detect the virus in the feces and sera of patients in an outbreak of enterically transmitted non-A,non-E hepatitis,and this review covers the epidemiologic features and experimental infection of this novel virus.Data sources Data sources come from our own work on this subject,published and unpublished.Study selection Mainly our own work is included,and related literature is collected.Results In an outbreak of enterically transmitted non-A-E hepatitis among students,a total of 381 cases (60.7%)were documented.Viral fragments identical to transfusion transmitted virus(TTV)were detected in both serum and stool samples.Asymptomatic virus carriers among the staff had positive serum(32.1%)and feces(24.6%),clearly a potential source of infection.This viral infection prevalence in 2 remote villages in northern and southern China was 9.2% and 10.6%,respectively,suggesting that China is an endemic area.In this study,groups of 3 Rhesus monkeys were infected via oral or intravenous inoculation with patient feces.Two additional monkeys were infected by passage.The virus was detected in serum,peripheral blood mononuclear cell(PBMC),liver,spleen and small intestine,while the virus positive single strand,which might be a replicative intermediate,was only in liver,intestine and PBMC of all animals.Conclusions This nonenveloped DNA virus might be transmitted both by blood and enteric routes.Considering its wide distribution and high prevalence,we suppose that nonparenteral transmission is more important.

Objective To compare the effect of carvedilol and motoprolol on high altitude chronic congestive heart failure (CHF). Methods Ninety patients with high altitude chronic CHF were divided into three groups randomly:Twenty patients in the regular treatment group treated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) ,diuretics and digoxin; motoprolol (50 mg twice daily) was given in the motoprolol group( 34cases) additional to regular treatment; carvedilol (25 mg twice daily) was given in the carvedilol group(36cases ) additional to regular treatment. All the patients were followed up for six months and measured the changes of cardiac function by echocardiography. Results Left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD) was ( 57. 3 ± 6. 5 ) mm and (57.2 ± 6. 9) mm in the carvedilol group and the motoprolol group respectively, and left ventricular end-systolic dimension (LVESD) was (46. 6 ± 7.0) mm and (44. 0 ± 6. 9 ) mm in the carvedilol group and the motoprolol group respectively, which were all significantly smaller than that in the regular treatment group ([64.7 ±9. 1]mm and [53.4 ±9.8]mm for LVEDD and LVESD,respectively) (Ps ＜0.05). Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the carvedilol group and the motoprolol group ( [47.5 ± 8. 1] % and [52. 9 ±8.5] % ,respectively) was higher than that in regular treatment group( [42. 8 ±9. 2]% ) (Ps ＜0. 05).The improvement of LVEF in the carvedilol group was better than that in the motoprolol group (P ＜ 0. 05 ). One case died in the motoprolol group and no death in the carvedilol group,4 cases died in the regular treatment group,the mortality in the motoprolol group and the carvedilol group was significantly lower than that in the regular treatment group. Conclusion Carvedilol and motoprolol significantly improved cardiac function in high latitude CHF patients,and the effect of Carvedilol is slightly better than that of motoprolol.

Objective To histomorphometricly assess changes occurred in the alveolar ridge following different methods of socket preservation and to compare them against natural healing without interventions. Methods The second、 third and fourth mandibular premolars were extracted from six beagles. Six extraction sites in each dog were randomly assigned to three treatments as follows:natural healing (T1), Bio-Oss Collagen (T2) and immediate implant with Bio-Oss (T3). Six month after surgery, the dogs were euthanized and tissue samples were sectioned, fixed and mounted, then were stained with toluidine blue. The histologic studies and morphological measurements were performed by using an optical microscope and a digital image software. Results Reabsorption in the buccal aspect of the alveolar crest of ridge was showed in all groups. With respect to the mean vertical bone loss of the buccal bone plate, T3 is lower than T1 and T2(P<0.001 ), while no significant differences were observed between T1 and T2. With regard to horizontal dimension of the alveolar process , a statistical significance could be found at 3mm and 4mm below the crest of ridge in group T1 and T3(P=0.017, P=0.042), while no statistical differences were found between other groups. Conclusions Both techniques of alveolar ridge preservation were not able to completely preserve the original bone volume after tooth extraction. Immediate implant placement in combination with Bio-Oss seems to have the potential to limit the reabsorption of the alveolar process efficiently , but the bone preserving effect of Bio-Oss Collagen is undesirable.
