【Abstract】ObjectiveTo investigate the prophylactic effect of lamivudine monotherapy on the recurrence of hepatitis B after liver transplantation. MethodsThirtyone patients with hepatitis B related benign decompensated cirrhosis who underwent liver transplantation between February 1999 to June 2002 and survived more than 3 months were analyzed retrospectively. Lamivudine was administered to each patient after operation and some patients before operation for the prophylaxis of HBV recurrence. The HBV markers and HBV DNA in serum and bioptic liver tissues in all patients were evaluated before and after operation. ResultsTotal HBV recurrence rate was 19.4％（6/31） during average 38.2 months (3.2-70.2 months) follow up. HBV recurrence rate was 7.1％(2/28), 16.0％(4/25), 26.1％(6/23) and survival rate was 87.1％(27/31), 80.6％(25/31), 66.1％(20.5/31) after 1-, 3-and 5-year, respectively. One hundred milligram lamivudine administration peroral daily for 2 weeks prior to transplantation enable HBeAg 54.5％(6/11) and HBV DNA 50.0％(5/10) positive patients convert to negative respectively. ConclusionPreoperative administration of lamivudine monotherapy can effectively prevent allograft from HBV re-infection after liver transplantation. Lamivudine should be used to convert HBV DNA and HBeAg to negative.

Methods : Outatients from our hospital between June, 2006 and August, 2007, who received lamivudine 100 mg and adefovir dipivoxil 10 mg per day were screened. And the level of ALT, HBV DNA, and urea nitrogen, as well as the statue of HBsAg and antiHBs were detected at week 12, 24, and 48 Results : The undetectable rates of HBV DNA were 17%, 43%, and 87% at week 12, 24, and 48 respectively, and the difference in response rate were statistic significantly (Plt;005). The ALT normalization rate were 13%, 67%, and 100% at week 12, 24, and 48 respectively, and the difference in response rate were statistic significantly (Plt;005); During the course of antiviral therapy, the loss of HBsAg was not observed and all patients were well tolerated. Conclusion : The combination of lamivudine and adefovir dipivoxil were effective for HBeAgnegative CHB patients, and this treatment strategy provided us a new option in clinical antiviral practice.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy of peginterferon alpha (PEG-IFNα) initially combined with lamivudine (LAM) or adefovir (ADV) in treatment of HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. MethodsWe electronically searched databases including The Cochrane Library (Issue 11, 2014), PubMed, CBM, CNKI, VIP, and WanFang Data from inception to December 2014, to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about PEG-IFNα initially combined with LAM or ADV for HBeAg-positive CHB. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.2 software. ResultsA total of 11 RCTs involving 2031 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: After 48 weeks of treatment, the HBsAg seroconversion rate of the PEG-IFNα plus ADV group was significantly higher than that of the PEG-IFNα monotherapy group (8.6% vs. 0%, OR=7.73, 95%CI 1.53 to 39.05, P=0.01) or the ADV monotherapy group (8.5% vs. 0%, OR=7.75, 95%CI 1.07 to 56.23, P=0.04); and the HBsAg seroclearance rate in the combination therapy group was significantly higher than that of the ADV monotherapy group (10.5% vs. 1.2%, OR=5.56, 95%CI to 2.14 to 14.47, P=0.0004). After 52 weeks of treatment, the HBsAg seroconversion rate of the PEG-IFNα plus LAM group was significantly higher than that of the PEG-IFNα monotherapy group (11.6% vs. 5.6%, OR=2.21, 95%CI 1.04 to 4.72, P=0.04). After 26 weeks of follow-up, no significant differences were found between the combination therapy group and the PEG-IFNα monotherapy group in HBsAg seroclearance rate and HBsAg seroconversion rate (all P values >0.05). ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that, compared with PEG-IFNα, LAM, or ADV monotherapy, PEG-IFNα plus LAM or ADV could improve the HBsAg seroclearance or seroconversion rate after 48-52 weeks of treatment for HBeAg-positive CHB, but this effect is still limited. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of lamivudine combined with low-dose hepatitis B immune globulin to prevent HBV reinfection after liver transplantation. MethodsThe clinical data of 76 cases of HBV-related liver disease after liver transplantation using lamivudine combined with low-dose hepatitis B immune globulin to prevent HBV re-infection were retrospectively analyzed, and the HBV re-infection risk factors were analyzed. ResultsSeventy-six patients' HBsAg became negative after liver transplantation, HBV re-infect in 9 cases.The re-infection rate was 9.2% (7/76) and 11.8% (9/76), respectively, in 1-year and 2-year after liver transplantation. ConclusionsLamivudine combined with low-dose hepatitis B immune globulin after liver transplantation can be effective preventing re-infection with HBV.HBeAg positive and HBV-DNA positive before liver transplantation is risk factors of HBV re-infection.
Objective To assess the efficacy of lamivudine in patients with HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B.Methods MEDLINE, SCI, Current Content Connect, The Cochrane Library, and Chinese Biomedical Database were searched from the beginning to September 2005, and the references of eligible studies were manually screened. R.andomized controlled trials comparing lamivudine with non-antiviral interventions （ placebo, no treatment and standard care ） in patients with chronic hepatitis B were eligible for inclusion. Two investigators independently assessed the quality and extracted the data. Heterogeneity was examined by Chi-square test. Fixed and random effect meta-analysis were used to pool the data. Subgroup analyses were used in treatment course. Results Eleven R.CTs were included （ n = 1 237 ）. All reported the effect of lamivudine （100 mg/d） , and one of them included lamivudine （25 mg/d）. The treatment duration of 52 weeks and less than 26 weeks were reported in eight and three RCTs, respectively. Six RCTs adequately applied randomization, while other five RCTs were not reported in detail. Four RCTs adequately enforced allocation concealment, five RCTs enforced blinding bitterly. The others were not reported in detail. It was found by meta-analysis that, compared with the control, lamivudine （100 mg/d, 52 W） could significantly clear HBeAg [42.6% vs. 13% , RR 3.20, 95% CI （2.33, 4. 38）] and clearHBVDNA [71.78% vs. 20, 36%, RR3.42, 95%CI （2.80,4.19）], normalize ALT [65% vs. 34.9%, RR1.91, 95%CI （1.64,2.21）], achieve HBeAgseroconversion [16.1% vs. 7.29% , RR2.12, 95%CI （1.24,3.80） ] and histology response [57. 9% vs. 26.2%, RR 2. 17, 95% CI （ 1.67,2.81 ） ] ; Lanfivudine （100 mg/ d, 12 W） could effectively clear HBV DNA [ 50.7% vs 3.92% , RR 8.68, 95% CI （1.72,43.74 ） ] , but was not effective in loss of HBeAg, HBeAg seroconversion and normalization of ALT, Lamivudine （25 mg/d） could effectively clear HBV DNA [97.7% vs. 22.2% , RR 4.41, 95% CI （2.86,6.79） ] and improve histology response [59.3% vs. 30% , RR1.98, 95% CI （1.31,2.99 ） ], but was not effective in HBeAg seroconversion. Conclusions Lamivudine （100 mg/ d） is effective in clearing HBV DNA and HBeAg, normalizing ALT and achieving HBeAg seroconversion.

ObjectiveTo systematically review the efficacy of lamivudine (LAM) plus adefovir (ADV) versus entecavir (ETV) monotherapy for LAM-resistant chronic hepatitis B patients. MethodsWe electronically searched databases including PubMed, The Cochrane Library (Issue 12, 2013), CBM, CNKI, VIP, WanFang Data from their inception to December 2013, to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or cohort studies of LAM+ADV versus ETV for LAM-resistant chronic hepatitis B. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data and assessed the methodological quality of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.2 software. ResultsA total of 13 RCTs and 5 cohort studies involving 1 336 patients were included. The results of meta-analyses of RCTs showed that:there were no significant differences between the LAM+ADV group and the ETV group in the negative rates of serum HBV-DNA (RR=1.00, 95%CI 0.91 to 1.10, P=0.94), HBeAg (RR=0.90, 95%CI 0.70 to 1.17, P=0.43), serum ALT recovery rate (RR=0.97, 95%CI 0.90 to 1.05, P=0.45) and serum HBeAg conversion rate (RR=0.71, 95%CI 0.40 to 1.24, P=0.22) at the 48th week. The results of meta-analyses of cohort studies showed that:there were no significant differences between the two groups in the negative rates of serum HBV-DNA (RR=1.37, 95% CI 0.91 to 2.06, P=0.13) and serum ALT recovery rate (RR=0.99, 95%CI 0.87 to 1.12, P=0.87), but the ETV group had higher serum HBeAg conversion rate (RR=0.24, 95% CI 0.07 to 0.79, P=0.02). ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that the efficacy of LAM+ADV is similar to ETV at the 48th week for LAM-resistant chronic hepatitis B patients. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
