Mechanisms of occult hepatitis B formation are reviewed, among which the most important is co-infection with other hepatotropic viruses. Diagnostic significance of anti-HBcAg antibodies is shown. An algorithm of occult hepatitis B detection developed by the authors involves two stages: detection of viral markers in serum and liver tissue. Attention is drawn to the role of morphologic methods including histochemistry, immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy in verification of HBV infection and direct visualization of virions in cytoplasm of hepatocytes.","PeriodicalId":130011,"journal":{"name":"Gastroenterology: Medicine & Research","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128978482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, we conducted network analyses to compare treatment efficacies. Materials and Methods: The Cochrane controlled trial registry, PubMed, China Biology Medicine disc (CBM disc) and Embase were reviewed, focusing on the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of rectal NSAID and PDS prophylaxis throughout the PEP prophylaxis process On September 25, 2019. Reviewers extract data independently and randomly. The Cochrane handbook was used as a standard to assess migration risk, and intervention management was implemented in a systematic way. The rationality of the evidence is determined by means of grade evaluation, proposal formulation and evaluation, and the main output result is the effect of intervention. Results: OR= 0.38 95% CI 0.19 to 0.78. Network analysis of all trials demonstrated the quality of PDS OR 0.32 95% CI 0.21 to 0.48, DIC: OR 0.30 95% CI 0.18 to 0.49, ID: OR= 0.55 95% CI 0.39 to 0.77, NAP: OR= 0.55 95% CI 0.39 to 0.77. Network analysis ranking showed that PDS placement was the best way for preventing PEP, followed by NAP, ID, and DIC. Conclusion: This evidence suggests that PDS placement is most effective in reducing PEP risk. However, rectal NSAIDs may be more ideal due to decreased costs.","PeriodicalId":130011,"journal":{"name":"Gastroenterology: Medicine & Research","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115805339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
