Objective To analyze the efficacy and prognosis of different antiviral agents on compensated hepatitis B cirrhosis.Methods Eight hundred and sixty-five cases of Hepatitis B patients with compensated cirrhosis were randomly divided into five groups:A group(n =143,subcutaneous injection interferon 3 million U every other day for 48 weeks),B group(n =171,orally treatment with lamivudine 100 mg/d for 48weeks),C group(n =137,orally treatment with adefovir 10 mg/d for 48 weeks),D group(n =83,oral treatment with entecavir O.5 mg/d,for 48 weeks) and E group(n =331,treated with general hepatoprotective drugs).Clinical symptoms and signs,changes in liver function were observed and prothrombin time activity degrees (PTA),quantitative HBV-DNA,HBeAg seroconversion and HBeAg/HBeAb conversion situation were detected.Results There were significant differences on HBeAg seroconversion between A group and other four groups after treated for48 weeks(31.5％ vs 13.5％,22.6％,18.1％,5.7％,x2 =58.56,P ＜0.01) and at the end of follow up (33.1％ vs 14.2％,23.3 ％,23.6％,6.4％,x2 =52.87,P ＜ 0.01).Patients' condition in A,B,C,D groups progressed slowly,and their incidence rates of decompensate cirrhosis were significantly lower than that in group E(x2 =122.41,P ＜ 0.01).The incidence rate of liver cancer in group A was significantly lower than that in B,C,D,E groups (x2 =19.61,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Antiviral therapy of interferon and nucleoside drugs can slow the progression of compensated Hepatitis B cirrhosis and reduce the incidence rates of decompensate cirrhosis.And interferon can significantly reduce the incidence rate of liver cancer.

Background and purpose:Loss or altered expression of Ras association domain family 1A gene (RASSF1A) through DNA methylation has been associated with the pathogenesis of a variety of cancers, which suggests the tumor suppressor function of this gene. This study aimed to explore the effect of DNA methyltransferase inhibitor 5-Aza-2’deoxycytidine (5-Aza-dc) on demethylation and expression of RASSF1A in cervical cancer cell lines. Methods:HPV positive cervical cancer cell lines HeLa and Caski, HPV negative cell lines HT-3 and C-33A were treated with two different concentration of 5-Aza-dc (5 μmol/L, 10 μmol/L). MSP (methylation-specific PCR) and Bisulfite genomic sequencing PCR (BGS) combined with TA clone were used to investigate methylation status of RASSF1A gene promoter and exon 1 before and after treatment of 5-Aza-dc. RASSF1A gene mRNA expression was detected by RT-PCR. Results:Two HPV positive cell lines showed hypomethylated RASSF1A promoters and expressed RASSF1A mRNA, and after treatment with 5-Aza-dc, the mRNA expression of RASSF1A did not change significantly (FHeLa=3.003, P=0.125; FCaski=0.045, P=0.956). Two HPV negative cervical cancer cell lines showed hypermethylation status of RASSF1A promoter and silenced RASSF1A. After treatment with 5-Aza-dc, demethylation occurred in the promoter region of RASSF1A gene, which subsequently induced re-expression of this gene in HT-3 and C-33A. The F test (FHT-3=18.002, P=0.03;FC-33A=17.179, P=0.03) and LSD-t test (P<0.05) demonstrated that significant difference in the expression of RASSF1A was found upon two different concentrations drug treatment.Conclusion:The methylation status of promoter and exon 1 of RASSFIA gene in HPV positive and HPV negative cervical cancer cell lines are different. The promoter hypermethylation is correlated with RASSF1A gene expression in HPV negative cervical cancer cell line HT-3 and C-33A, and plays a key role in RASSF1A silencing. 5-Aza-dc may effectively reverse the methylation status of RASSFIA gene promoter in cervical cancer HT-3 and C-33A cells and reactivate gene expression silenced by aberrant hypermethylation in a dose-dependent manner within certain extent.
