Article Abstract

Due to the high prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, a significant proportion of patients suffer from both conditions simultaneously. The management of NAFLD in patients with concurrent HBV infection presents unique challenges, primarily due to the complex interplay between these two diseases. Nanomaterials have gained widespread attention due to their ability to overcome the limitations of conventional therapies. This review provides an overview of the current advances in therapeutic nanomaterials for NAFLD and explores their potential applications for personalized and effective management in patients with concurrent HBV infection. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges and future directions in the development of nanomaterials for the treatment of coexisting liver diseases.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Biejia-Ruangan (BRG) has been approved in China as an antifibrotic traditional Chinese medicine for patients with chronic liver diseases; however, data on the reversal of hepatitis B-related cirrhosis by BRG are still limited.

Aim Of The Study: To investigate the reversal effect of BRG in patients with hepatitis B-related cirrhosis.

Materials And Methods: Hepatitis B-related cirrhotic patients who received either entecavir (ETV) monotherapy or combination therapy with ETV and BRG for 7 years, were analysed.

Interferon-induced miR-7705 modulates the anti-virus activity of cholesterol 25-hydroxylase.

J Virol

Unlabelled: Cholesterol 25-hydroxylase (CH25H), an interferon-stimulated gene (ISG), has been implicated in broad-spectrum antiviral immunity. Here, we identify CH25H as a potent suppressor of hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication that significantly outperforms IFN-α in reducing HBV DNA, pregenomic RNA (pgRNA), HBsAg, and HBeAg, without inducing cytotoxicity. However, CH25H is weakly expressed in hepatocytes and only modestly induced by type I interferon.

Background: Vaccination is a key strategy to reduce infectious disease mortality. In pediatric heart transplant recipients (HTRs), the use of immunosuppressive therapy weakens immune responses, increasing the risk of viral infections. This study aimed to evaluate the immunogenicity of hepatitis B virus (HBV) revaccination in this vulnerable population.

Type 1 regulatory cells suppress T-cell cytotoxicity to alleviate liver injury during acute hepatitis B virus infection in mice.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) exclusively infects hepatocytes and produces large quantities of subviral particles containing its surface antigen (HBsAg). T cells play a central role in controlling HBV infection but can also mediate liver injury and contribute to disease progression. However, the mechanisms that regulate T-cell responses to eliminate the virus without causing immunopathology during acute HBV infection remain poorly defined.
