Abstract

Mutations of precore (A1896) and core promoter (T1762/A1764) of hepatitis B virus can reduce HBeAg production. These mutations are frequently found in the late HBeAg seroconversion. However, it has been a controversy about the role played by precore and core promoter mutations in determining outcome of chronic hepatitis B. In the present study, the variability of precore and core promoter of hepatitis B virus were analyzed using PCR amplification and sequencing, according to the outcome (viral load and HBeAg/anti-HBe) in chronic hepatitis B patients in Surabaya. The study groups included 5 patients with uncomplicated chronic hepatitis B and 10 patients with chronic hepatitis B and liver cirrhosis in Dr. Soetomo Hospital, Surabaya. The control group included 6 blood donors obtained from Indonesia Red Cross, Surabaya. All groups were HBsAg positive. Precore mutation A1896 was predominant in all groups (60%-67% of each), together with precore variant T1858. As reported, precore variant T1858 is a prerequisite for precore A1896 and characteristic for viral genotype. Nevertheless, core promoter mutations T1762/A1764 were predominant only in LC patients (60%). All of these mutations were found mostly after HBeAg seroconversion (anti-HBe+). Of most samples with anti-HBe+, precore mutation was related with low viral load (<105 copies/mL), but core promoter mutations with high viral load (>105 copies/mL). Precore mutation A1896 was predominant in all groups, but core promoter mutations T1762/A1764 were only predominant in LC patients. The precore mutation alone is possible not critical to indicate a poor outcome, the core promoter mutations must be considered also.

Abstract

The pathogenesis of dengue virus infection is still being debated.  Based on the existing data, there is a strong evidence that the immunopathological mechanism plays a role in dengue virus infection with various complications.  Some unknown immune responses play a role in the pathogenesis of dengue virus infection. Researchers are trying to establish the role of several inflammatory mediators such as PLA2, IL-1, TNF-, PGE2, PGI2, Thromboxane A2, Leucotrien and MPTP, in relation to the severity degree of the dengue virus infection.  The aim of this study is to recognize the relation between the severity degrees of DHF (Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever) patients and the immunological profile in the sub-cellular level, such as PLA2, IL-1, TNF-, PGE2 and PLA 2.  The collected data was processed and presented analytically. The relation between each parameter (TNFα, SPLA2, PGE2,IL-1β) and the degree of DHF was analyzes, using Spearman's correlation analysis, ordinal regression, and using ANOVA.  It was shown that there was no relation between the levels of TNF-ά, PGE2, IL-1β, and SPLA2  in patients with various degrees of DHF, but there were significant differences between DHF grade 1 and 3, and also 2 and 3, on IL-1β.  There were increased levels of the four parameters in dengue grade 1 to 2, but decreased levels in grade 3. This can be caused by inflammatory processes, but the severity degree of DHF can also be influenced by complement, thromboxane, and leukotrien.
