Retreatment of patients with chronic hepatitis C, subtype 3a, and cirrhosis, who previously failed a regimen containing second-generation NS5A inhibitors with sofosbuvir + glecaprevir/pibrentasvir and ribavirin for 16-24 weeks.

The outcomes of retreatment patients infected with hepatitis C virus genotype 3, cirrhosis, with velpatasvir may be affected by treatment failure with velpatasvir. The efficacy of SOF+GLE/PIB+RIB 16-24 weeks of treatment has been shown. The presence of NS5A resistance-associated substitution mutations, including Y93H, and the number and regimens of the past failed therapy do not influence the likelihood of achieving sustained virological response.

Effectiveness of retreatment with ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir+sofosbuvir+ribavirin in patients with chronic hepatitis C, subtype 1b, and cirrhosis, who failed previous treatment with first- and second-generation NS5A inhibitors.

The use of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) in patients with chronic HCV genotype (GT) 1 infection results in sustained virologic response (SVR) rates of 95%-97%, but 3%-5% of patients experience virologic failure. We observed 41 patients infected with HCV subtype 1b who failed previous treatment with DAAs, including 37 subjects (90.2%) with liver cirrhosis.

Retreatment of patients with chronic hepatitis C, subtype 1b and cirrhosis, who failed previous direct-acting antiviral therapy including first- and second-generation NS5A inhibitors with ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir, dasabuvir + sofosbuvir + ribavirin.

The use of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) in patients with chronic HCV genotype 1 infection results in sustained virologic response (SVR) rates of 95%-97%, but 3%-5% of patients experience virologic failure. We observed 17 patients infected with HCV subtype 1b who failed previous treatment with DAA, including 13 subjects (76.5%) with liver cirrhosis.

IL-28B genetic variation, gender, age, jaundice, hepatitis C virus genotype, and hepatitis B virus and HIV co-infection in spontaneous clearance of hepatitis C virus.

Background/aims: Spontaneous viral clearance observed in some patients is one of the variants of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection natural history. We aimed to look at the complexity of factors affecting the spontaneous clearance of HCV (SC HCV).

Materials And Methods: A total of 357 anti-HCV positive patients (309 with chronic hepatitis C and 48 patients with SC HCV) were included into the study.

Reduced Graphene Oxide Obtained by Hummers and Marcano-Tour Methods: Comparison of Electrical Properties.

The aim of this paper is the comparison of structural, morphological and electrical properties of graphene oxide synthesized by Hummers and Marcano-Tour approaches and reduced graphene oxide obtained by hydrothermal hydrazine-assisted route. Obtained materials were characterized by XRD, scanning electron microscopy, low temperature nitrogen absorption and impedance spectroscopy. It was determined that reduced graphene oxide obtained by Hummers route is formed by plate-like agglomerates with respectively short distance between graphene layers that consist of plate-like particles with smaller average diameter and larger average thickness.
