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.

Background: C-X-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CXCR5)CD8 T cells represent a unique immune subset with dual roles, functioning as cytotoxic cells in persistent viral infections while promoting B cell responses. Despite their importance, the specific role of CXCR5CD8 T cells in chronic hepatitis B (CHB), particularly during interferon-alpha (IFN-α) treatment, is not fully understood. This study aims to elucidate the relationship between CXCR5CD8 T cells and sustained serologic response (SR) in patients undergoing 48 weeks of pegylated IFN-α (peg-IFN-α) treatment for CHB.

In this article, we provide commentary on the recent article by Zhao . We focus on the shifts in the gut microbiota of patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-associated cirrhosis/portal hypertension (PH) following transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) and the implications for understanding the mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment. By comparing the gut microbiota composition and dynamic changes before and after TIPS in patients with and without hepatic encephalopathy, the authors found an increase in non-probiotic bacteria in those who developed hepatic encephalopathy post-TIPS, with species present only in the hepatic encephalopathy group.
