Abstract

Background: Mutations within the hepatitis B virus (HBV) reverse transcriptase (RT) gene have been associated with drug resistance against nucleos(t)ide analogs (NAs). Objective: This study aimed to identify mutations in the RT gene among patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) before receiving antiviral therapy and its relationship with the HBV genotypes. Methods: A total of 26 HBV DNA was extracted from the blood plasma of CHB patients. HBV RT gene was amplified and sequenced using the Sanger dideoxy sequencing method. The HBV genotype was determined through phylogenetic analysis using the Maximum Likelihood method. Results: The study subjects comprised 14 CHB patients without complications and 12 CHB patients with cirrhosis/hepatoma. CHB patients with cirrhosis/hepatoma were older than those without complications. The HBV genotypes comprised 15 (57.7%) genotype C and 11 (42.3%) genotype B. All treatment-naïve CHB patients did not demonstrate any classical NA resistance mutations within the RT gene. However, several putative and pretreatment resistance mutations, including F221Y, N238H, and V224I, were high frequency in more than 40% of study subjects. In addition, F221Y and N238H/Q mutations were frequently observed in genotype B, while V224 I was only found in patients infected with genotype C (p=0.000). Conclusions: There was no evidence of classical RT gene mutations associated with NA resistance in treatment-naïve patients with CHB. However, several putative and pretreatment mutations were identified as genotype-specific mutations and may contribute to antiviral resistance against NAs.

Abstract

Hirschsprung disease (HD) is a congenital anomaly due to intestinal aganglionosis starting from the internal anal sphincter and spreading to the proximal area with varies extension of the segment. Definitive treatment for this abnormality is to perform surgery to remove the aganglionic bowel and can be carried out in one-step and multi-step procedure. In the process of wound healing after surgery, it involves inflammatory mediators as a marker of whether there is a stress response from the endocrine system such as neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). This study aims to compare NLR as an inflammatory biomarker in one-step and multi-step procedure of hirschsprung disease patients at Arifin Achmad Hospital. The design of this study was cross-sectional using medical records and using total sampling for number of samples. Age, gender, and method of surgery were evaluated by univariate and bivariate to determine whether there were statistical differences. Seven HD patient taken from Mei-October at Arifin Achmad Hospital taken for evaluated. The results showed that the most samples were in < 1-month-old (42.9%) and male (71,4%) for gender. The average number of NLR was in 7.33 after one-step procedure and 2.77 for multi-step procedure. This number of NLR both not statistically different neither for the post-operative examination nor the comparison between procedure.
