Chronic hepatitis B（CHB）is one of the major challenges in the global public health field. As of 2022，approximately 254 million people worldwide were infected with the hepatitis B virus（HBV）. CHB is one of the main causes of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma（HCC）. Nucleos（t）ide analogs（NAs）and interferon therapy can delay the progression of liver fibrosis by inhibiting viral replication，but they cannot completely avoid the problem of heterogeneous treatment responses. Some patients are in a state of low-level viremia（LLV）during treatment. The persistent LLV state can induce chronic inflammation and the progression of liver fibrosis，ultimately increase the risk of HCC. In patients with poor treatment responses，the continuous active viral replication can induce immune disorders，accelerate the evolution of fibrosis to the decompensated stage of liver cirrhosis，and increase the risk of patient death. This article aims to review the definition，mechanisms，and impact on treatment outcomes of LLV and suboptimal response based on the latest research，provide a basis for optimizing antiviral therapy for CHB.

To find a new preventive strategy for the infection of Schistosoma japonica, plasmid pIRES-Sj97-Sj14-Sj26 that contains fatty binding protein (Sj14), GST (Sj26) and paramyocin (Sj97) that are expressed on the membrane, was constructed. RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of Sj14 mRNA, Sj26 mRNA and Sj97 mRNA in the Hela cells, the indirect immunofluorescent test was employed for the detection of the expression of trans-membrane Sj26 after the plasmid was trans-fected into Hela cells. Fifty BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 5 groups and pIRES-Sj97-Sj14-Sj26 plasmid DNA, pIRES-Sj14-Sj26 plasmid DNA, plRES-Sj26 plasmid DNA,plRES blank vector and normal saline were respectively injected into the quadriceps muscles of thigh.Eight weeks after the immunization the mice were killed and significantly higher level of IgG was detected in the pIRES-Sj97-Sj14-Sj26 group as compared with the plRES blank vector, normal saline and pIRES-Sj26 groups (P<0.01) and the pIRES-Sj14-Sj26(P<0.05). Single splenocyte suspension was prepared to detected the level of IFN-γ by ELISA and the lymphocyte stimulating index (SI) by MTT SI was significantly higher of in the pIRES-Sj97-Sj14-Sj26 group than in other groups (P<0.01), while the IFN-γ, level was significantly higher the pIRES-Sj97-Sj14-Sj26 group than in pIRES blank vector and normal saline groups (P<0.01), but no significant differences were found when compared with pIRES-Sj14-Sj26 and pIRES-Sj26 groups. Flow cytometery showed that the percent-ages of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were much higher in the pIRES-Sj97-Sj14-Sj26 group (P<0.01,P<0.05). It was concluded that pIRES-Sj97-Sj14-Sj26 vaccine may induce stronger immune response in BALB/c mice.
