School of Global Health, Chinese Center for Tropical Diseases Research, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.
Background: Dogs-whether pets, rural, or stray-exhibit distinct living styles that influence their fecal microbiota and resistomes, yet these dynamics remain underexplored. This study aimed to analyze and compare the fecal microbiota and resistomes of three groups of dogs (37 pets, 20 rural, and 25 stray dogs) in Shanghai, China.
Results: Metagenomic analysis revealed substantial differences in fecal microbial composition and metabolic activities among the dog groups.
Background: A multivariate predictive model was constructed using baseline and 12-week clinical data to evaluate the rate of clearance of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) at the 48-week mark in patients diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B who are receiving treatment with pegylated interferon α (PEG-INFα).
Methods: The study cohort comprised CHB patients who received pegylated interferon treatment at Mengchao Hepatobiliary Hospital, Fujian Medical University, between January 2019 and April 2024. Predictor variables were identified (LASSO), followed by multivariate analysis and logistic regression analysis.
