Objective: To investigate the correlations of hepatitis B virus markers and hepatitis B virus -DNA vectors in blood between women in perinatal period and cord blood, and to assess the risk of HBV infections status in pregnant women to intrauterine fetal infective.

Methods: We selected 612 pregnant women who decided to delivery in hospital, in compliance with the principles of informed consent. According the difference of hepatitis virus serological markers existing in pregnant women, samples were divided into six groups. We used enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to detect hepatitis virus serological markers, existing in serum of mother and cord blood. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was supplied to test HBV-DNA load levels in these two kinds of biological specimen.

Results: In group A, hepatitis B virus "big 3 positives" or 1,3 positive 149 lying-in woman examples, two positive rates of HBV-DNA about pregnant women and cord blood are 99.33% and 32.21%; in group B, positive rates of HBV-DNA in two kinds of specimen are 20.00% and 3.08%; in group C and D, two positive rates are and the average contents of HBV-DNA, the results as mentioned in each group respectively are 65.52%, 12.07% and 13.56%, 1.69% respectively. Control group is group E, 86 lying-in woman examples and the detecting results orderly are 1.16%, 0. There was a significant difference in positive rate of HBV-DNA in cord blood between group A and group B subgroups (chi2 = 54.09, P < 0.01). There is significant positive correlation between HBV-DNA vectors existing in mother's serum and the positive rate of HBV-DNA in cord blood. Hepatitis B virus the mother blood " big 3 positives " is the umbilicus blood HBV-DNA 6345 times that carries quantity in average.

Conclusion: (1) During the perinatal period, along with the HBV-DNA load levels arising of pregnant women, the risk of HBV infections status in pregnant women to intrauterine fetal infective increased. (2) Suggested to develop the compound pattern human hepatitis B immunoglobulin: Increase the composition of efficient price HBeAb-can be combinated HBeAg, HBsAb can be combinated HBsAg, strengthen the hinderance and break hepatitis B virus disseminate. (3) Our government should strengthen the propaganda of hepatitis B virus education. Establish and perfect to surround and produce the system of health protection.

Undetected chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections can lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer. Syrian migrants are the largest non-European migrant group in the Netherlands with HBV and HCV prevalence rates above 2%. This study aimed to reach Syrian migrants for HBV and HCV testing using point-of-care tests (POCT).

Hepatitis and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are major public health issues in developing countries, including Ethiopia. These viruses can be transmitted from mother to child during birth or through contact with contaminated blood. In many areas of Ethiopia, viral hepatitis and HIV infections are significant health concerns for pregnant women.

Background: Hepatitis E virus (HEV) stands out as a significant transfusion-transmissible infection, yet it is not included in the screening protocols of many countries. The present study was conducted to assess the cost-benefit implications of incorporating HEV screening among blood donors which is one of the preventive strategies in reducing transfusion transmissible HEV.

Methodology: A decision tree model was prepared to assist the cost-benefit analysis.

Objective: To analyze the clinical effectiveness of Entecavir (ETV) and Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate (TDF) Tablets for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB).

Methods: Clinical data from 100 CHB patients admitted to our hospital from April 2022 to April 2024 were retrospectively reviewed. Of these, 45 cases in the control group received ETV, and 55 cases in the research group received TDF tablets.

Direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy is associated with a significant reduction in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence among patients with cirrhosis, but data are conflicting about the risk of recurrence following DAA therapy. DAA-PASS was a prospective, pragmatic, observational study designed to estimate the risk of HCC recurrence associated with DAA therapy exposure during routine clinical care. Eligible patients were DAA treatment naive with Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage A.
