TDF reduces HBV DNA burden and liver immune microenvironment in CHB patients

Summary The first source discusses the effectiveness of oral antiviral medications for Hepatitis B (HBV). While these medications are primarily thought to inhibit viral replication, recent studies show that they may also play a role in reducing the amount of viral DNA within the liver. This finding challenges the traditional view that these medications only prevent new infections. The second source provides evidence from a study that shows how tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), an antiviral medication, impacts the liver's immune microenvironment in HBV patients with mild liver damage. This study reveals that TDF treatment significantly reduces the amount of both integrated and non-integrated HBV DNA within the liver, suggesting that it may be more effective than previously thought. The third source highlights the characteristics of HBV integration in pediatric patients with chronic HBV infection. This study suggests that integration is more common in children compared to adults and may contribute to the accelerated loss of HBsAg in pediatric patients.

一刀未剪～亞龍的B肝人生 | #B肝之聲 #BtheVoice 亞龍在專科學校健康檢查時發現B肝帶原，當初並未在意。當兵前體檢肝指數異常，但身體無異狀，因此仍未在意。直到出社會開始工作，公司健康檢查發現肝發炎指數急速上升，食慾不振，且出現黃疸現象。住院幾週後又恢復正常。之後經過10年，肝臟持續輕度發炎，被診斷為肝硬化，且肝臟超音波影像出現陰影。現今他持續服用B肝抗病毒藥物，並成功減肥消除脂肪肝... 採訪者：楊淑貞小姐 Unedited - Ya-Long's Life with Hepatitis B！ #BtheVoice Stanly discovered he was a hepatitis B carrier during a health check-up at his technical school, but didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Before his military service, his medical examination showed abnormal liver indices, but since he had no symptoms, he still didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until he started working and a company health check revealed a rapid increase in liver inflammation indices, along with loss of appetite and jaundice. After a few weeks in the hospital, he returned to normal. Over the next ten years, his liver continued to have mild inflammation and he was diagnosed with cirrhosis, with shadows appearing in his liver ultrasound images. Now, he continues to take antiviral medication for hepatitis B and is actively losing weight to eliminate fatty liver. Host: Ms. Susan Yang
