The global results obtained showed a viral eradication rate close to that published by controlled and randomized studies. Key Word(s): 1. Chronic hepatitis C; 2. Pegylated Interferon; 3.

Methods: 75 CHB patients with HBeAg positive
were enrolled into this study. 45 patients received the monotherapy of pegylated IFNα-2a (group A),and 30 patients Selleck Ganetespib were treated with PEG INFα-2a combined with recombinant hepatitis B vaccine(group B). The two groups were compared clinical features, such as ALT, HBsAg levels and HBeAg seroconversion rates, HBV DNA suppression,at different time point(At 0, 24, 48,72 week). Results: At week 0, levels of aminotransferases ,HBsAg and HBV DNA were not statistically significant between the two groups(P > 0.05). But the level of HBeAg in group B was much more than
that in group A. This diversity show statistical significance (P < 0.05).During week 24 to week 48, rates of aminotransferases normalization HBsAg seroconversion HBeAg seroconversion, and HBV DNA suppression were also not statistically significant between group A and B(P > 0.05).At the 72W of follow up,levels of aminotransferases , HBeAg seroconversion rate and HBsAg levels were not statistically significant among the two groups(P > 0.05),but the negative conversion rate of HBV DNA drop in group B was much more than that in group A, the difference was statistically significant (P = 0.032). Conclusion: The combined
treatment of PEG INFα-2a and recombinant hepatitis B vaccine in CHB patients with HBeAg positive can improve the negative conversion rate of HBV DNA 72 weeks after the end of the 48 week of treatment, but wasn’t associated with HBeAg seroconversion and HBsAg Aprepitant levels.
