Methods: From Jan. 2000 to Dec. 2003, 70 patients with HCC coexisting chronic hepatitis B infection with active virus replication were prospectively divided into two groups: control group (n=35) received hepatectomy only; treatment group (n=35) received hepatectomy and lamivudine plus Tα1 therapy postoperatively. The suppression of HBV-DNA, HBeAg seroconverted rate, tumor recurrent rate and the median survival for the two groups were observed and calculated. Results: In treatment group and control group, the 2-year HBV-DNA suppression rate was 100% vs. 4% (P=0.0000); HBeAg seroconverted rate was 73.0% vs. 7.5% (P〈0.05); the recurrent rate was 10.0 vs 6.5 months (P=0.0032); the median survival time was 12.5 vs. 6.0 months (P=0.0023), respectively. Conclusion: Antivirus therapy using lamivudine and Tα1 postoperatively may suppress the HBV reaction, delay the recurrent time and prolong the survival for HCC patients coexisting chronic HBV infection with active virus replication.展开更多

METHODS: The apoptosis of duck embryo fibroblasts (DEF) induced by NGVEV was investigated by fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) and fluorescence microscope after the cells were stained with Annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide (PI). RESULTS: By staining cells with a combination of fluorescein annexin V-FITC and PI, it is possible to distinguish and quantitatively analyze non-apoptotic cells (Annexin V-FITC negative/PI negative), early apoptotic cells (Annexin V-FITC positive/PI negative), late apoptotic/necrotic cells (Annexin V-FITC positive/ PI positive) and dead cells (Annexin V-FITC negative/PI positive) through flow cytometry and fluorescence microscope. The percentage of apoptotic cells increased with the incubation time and reached a maximum at 120 h after infection, while the percentage of non- apoptotic cells decreased.展开更多
