Methods: Forty-seven hepatitis B patients were trea- ted with oral lamivudine. ALT level and HBeAg were detected in the treatment on the zero, 3rd, 6th and 9th month respectively. The levels of HBV DNA and YMDD resistants were analyzed with PCR mi- croplate hybridization-ELISA. Results: After 9 months of treatment, HBV DNA be- came negative and ALT level was normal in 74% pa- tients. Among these patients, 17% patients had HBeAg converted to negative and anti-HBe antibody positive, whereas another 15% patients showed HBeAg negative. YMDD resistants appeared in 19 % patients (9/47). One, three and five resistants were detected in the treatment on the 3rd, 6th and 9th month respectively. Conclusions: Most HBV DNA in serum became nega- tive after 9 months of treatment, and the rate of HBeAg seroconversion was 17% (HBV DNA level was lower than 100 pg/ml before treatment). YMDD resistants appeared in 19% patients.展开更多

METHODS: The common coated probes were synthesized according to the conserved regions of the preC gene of hepatitis B virus (HBV). Different colorized probes were chosen from the sequences of different genotypes of HBV (A to F), BCP and YMDD wild types and mutants, respectively. HBV DNA levels, HBV genotypes, BCP and YMDD resistants were analyzed by PCR microplate hybridization ELISA at the zero and 6th month after the patients were treated with lamivudine. RESULTS: HBV genotyping results showed that HBV types B, C, D accounted for about 30%, 36% and 23% patients respectively. Thirteen BCP mutations (type B in 1 patient, type C in 8 and type D in 4) were found before treatment with lamivudine. HBV DNA levels were lower than 100 pg/ml in 2 patients anti higher than 100 pg/ml in 11. 9.4% of the HBV patients (5/43; type C in 3 and type D in 2) showed YMDD resistants and 4 BCP mutations at the same time. CONCLUSION: Oral treatment of lamivudine decreases the level of serum HBV DNA. The appearance of HBV YMDD resistants is related to certain HBV genotypes, and most of them are BCP mutations.展开更多
