Article Abstract

Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients who have sustained virological suppression (SVS) still develop hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC), and the risk factors for developing HCC in these patients are not fully understood. This study included a total of 5234 patients who achieved SVS. After SVS, the incidence rate of HCC was 1.9% in 1-8 years and 1.33% in 9-16 years. There was a significant difference between the two periods (P < 0.001). After 1-8 years and 9-16 years of SVS, after multivariate analysis and IPTW adjustment, the factors related to the occurrence of HCC were men, hypertensive patients, diabetes patients and high FIB-4 scores. In summary, patients with CHB who have achieved SVS may still develop HCC. Among them, men, hypertensive patients, diabetes patients and high FIB-4 scores should be listed as the key monitoring objects of HCC. Clinical trial number: Not applicable.

For a long time neglected, the mpox virus has caused two public health emergency declarations by the World Health Organization in just two years. Rapid detection and characterization of the viral strains involved are crucial for better control of the disease. Recent work on viral genome sequencing in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has shown the emergence in 2023 of clade Ib, with sustained human-to-human transmission and rapid spread to several other non-endemic neighboring countries, as well as outside Africa.

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a major global health burden. While interferon-alpha (IFNα) therapy demonstrates antiviral and immunomodulatory effects, reliable prognostic markers for sustained response are needed. Transaminases, hematological parameters, and cytokines may serve as potential predictors, but their dynamic changes during IFNα therapy remain poorly characterized.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection poses significant challenges in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients, impacting graft outcomes, morbidity, and in some cases survival. The ESOT CMV Workshop 2023 convened European experts to discuss current practices and advances in the management of CMV with the aim of improving the quality of life of transplant recipients. Discussions covered crucial areas such as preventive strategies, diagnostic challenges, therapeutic approaches, and the role of cell-mediated immunity (CMI) monitoring.

(γ-CoV) primarily infects poultry, wild birds, and marine mammals. The widespread distribution and circulation of γ-CoV in the ecological environment may lead to sustained transmission and economic loss. To better understand the diversity of γ-CoV in wild birds, we collected 482 wild-bird faecal samples from Yunnan, encompassing 14 bird species.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) clearance markedly reduces the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); however, HCC continues to develop in a subset of patients, particularly in those with advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis. Leading hepatology societies, including Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver, European Association for the Study of the Liver, American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, Korean Association for the Study of the Liver, Taiwan Association for the Study of the Liver, and Japan Society of Hepatology, have issued divergent guidelines for HCC surveillance after sustained virologic response, which reflects variations in regional patient populations, healthcare infrastructure, and policy priorities. While traditional risk stratification primarily centers on histological staging of fibrosis, an array of additional host-related factors, including age, sex, alcohol use, metabolic comorbidities, and genetic and epigenetic profiles, further influence individual HCC risks.
