OBJECTIVE To explore the prevention measures against HBV infection among surgeons.METHODS On the basis of the comparison of the current prevention measures HBV infection during operation in the Eastern and Western countries,new prevention measures that HBeAg serves as a supervising and controlling index of HBV were studied.RESULTS The concentration HBV of HBsAg negative,HBeAg negative and HBeAg positive patients were(100-104),(100-106) and(102-109) ID/ml,respectively.HBV infective threshold value of single layer gloves was 105ID/ml,and that of double layer gloves was 106ID/ml.The viral concentration of all the HBsAg negative patients did not reach the infective threshold value of single layer gloves.83.88% HBeAg positive patients reached the threshold value,from them 80.65% was protected by HBV vaccine and 3.23% remainders exceeded the protection.CONCLUSIONS HBeAg serving as a supervising and controlling index of HBV infection can be an effective indicator which can reduce the risk of infection.It is more suitable for the current condition of our country.
