Aims/introduction: Diabetes and hepatitis B are both global problems. The influence of diabetes on complications and prognosis of hepatitis B has been widely studied. However, the association between hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and the prevalence of diabetes-related complications is less documented and is uncertain.
Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective study. We collected information from a large clinical database. A total of 1,090 Chinese inpatients with type 2 diabetes were included.
Results: The participants were divided into two groups, including 135 patients with HBV infection and 955 patients without HBV infection. Patients with HBV infection were younger and had worse control of blood glucose than those without HBV infection. No significant difference was found in the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy, diabetic ketosis or diabetic ketoacidosis between the patients with HBV infection and the patients without HBV infection. The prevalence of macrovascular complications was 54.1% and 64.4% in diabetes patients complicated with HBV infection and without HBV infection, respectively. The P-value was <0.05. However, through the logistic regression analysis, we found HBV infection was not an independent risk factor for macrovascular complications of diabetes.
Conclusion: There was no significant correlation between the prevalence of macrovascular complications, microvascular complications of diabetes, diabetic ketosis or diabetic ketoacidosis and HBV infection status.

Background: Patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection are characterized by impaired immune response that fails to eliminate HBV. Immune checkpoint molecules (ICMs) control the amplitude of the activation and function of immune cells, which makes them the key regulators of immune response.
Methods: We performed a multiparametric flow cytometry analysis of ICMs and determined their expression on intrahepatic lymphocyte subsets in untreated and treated patients with HBV in comparison with non-pathological liver tissue.

Background: Inflammation is a critical component in the process of resolved hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) serves as a sensitive indicator of systemic inflammation and immune activation. Our study aimed to investigate the correlation between elevated NLR levels and the risk of all-cause mortality in patients with resolved HBV infection.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) accounts for over 80% of primary liver cancers and is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is the primary etiological factor. Disulfidptosis is a newly discovered form of regulated cell death.

Background: HIV and HBV remain significant public health challenges characterized by high prevalence, morbidity, and mortality, especially among women of reproductive age in Uganda. Patients with HBV do not receive routine counselling and education, and there are limited resources for laboratory investigation coupled with a high loss to follow-up. This study set out to assess barriers and facilitators of integrated viral hepatitis B C and HIV care model to optimize screening uptake among mothers and newborns at health facilities in Koboko District, west Nile sub-region, Uganda.

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by severe infection and often complicates acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute lung injury (ALI) due to the collapse of the oxidative and inflammatory balance induced by microbial pathogens, including lipopolysaccharides (LPS). In sepsis-related ARDS/ALI, NADPH oxidase (NOX) and toll-like receptors (TLR) in neutrophils and macrophages are key players in initiating oxidative and inflammatory imbalances. Although NOX and TLR activation has been linked to carbon monoxide (CO), the mechanism by which CO affects sepsis-related ARDS/ALI through NOX and TLR remains unknown.
