Therefore, 90 consecutive Italian patients anti-Hepatitis C Virus positive with a broad spectrum of chronic liver disease, have been analysed to observe prevalence of various genotypes of Hepatitis C Virus. Genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction with a set of nested biotinylated primers, located in 5'UTR region. Genotype 1b and genotype 2a were the most commonly encountered (respectively, 50% and 37%) whereas other genotypes were rare. The unexpected high prevalence of genotype 2a allowed direct comparison of clinical characteristics and response to therapy between patients with genotype 2a and those with 1b. Genotype 1b was more prevalent than 2a in patients over 60 years (29 vs 12) and in those with more severe liver disease (34 vs 16). In a univariate analysis, genotype 2a was associated with less severe liver disease (p = 0.02) and younger age (p = 0.018), in comparison with genotype 1b. Patients with genotype 2a responded to interferon alpha therapy better than those with 1b (p = 0.007). In a multivariate analysis, only younger age was associated with genotype 2a. Genotype 2a (in comparison with 1b) and absence of cirrhosis were independent predictors of response to interferon alpha. In conclusion, genotype 2a is playing an emerging role in younger Italian patients and seems more sensitive than 1b to interferon alpha therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":22546,"journal":{"name":"The Italian journal of gastroenterology","volume":"28 8","pages":"452-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19990272","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}

This study aims to show whether the three main bile salts of human bile differ in their action on pancreatic secretion, and whether they enhance or inhibit each other after combined use. Furthermore, the effect on gastroenteropancreatic peptide release is evaluated. Twelve subjects were provided with a gastroduodenal double-lumen tube. Equimolar doses (0.6 mmol) of taurocholate (322 mg), taurodeoxycholate (313 mg), and a combination of both stimuli were given intraduodenally. Another 12 subjects received taurochenodeoxycholate (313 mg) instead of taurocholate. Volume, bicarbonate, trypsin, and lipase were determined in duodenal aspirates. Cholecystokinin, pancreatic polypeptide, and somatostatin were measured radioimmunologically in plasma samples. All bile salts and combinations exerted a significant hydrokinetic and ecbolic effect. The hydrokinetic response of the combined stimuli was significantly higher as compared with taurocholate and taurochenodeoxycholate, respectively. As far as concerns the ecbolic response, the difference was significant only for trypsin output as compared with taurochenodeoxycholate. Plasma cholecystokinin rose significantly only after the combined stimuli. Pancreatic polypeptide and somatostatin increased significantly after all stimuli, except pancreatic polypeptide after taurocholate. Combined use enhances the hydrokinetic and ecbolic effects of single bile salts. Cholecystokinin may, hereby, be involved as a mediator of the ecbolic effect. Pancreatic polypeptide release indicates cholinergic mechanisms as further mediators. As demonstrated by somatostatin release, counter-regulatory mechanisms are also triggered by intraduodenal bile salts.</p>","PeriodicalId":22546,"journal":{"name":"The Italian journal of gastroenterology","volume":"28 8","pages":"421-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19990268","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}

In patients with persistently normal serum transaminases, infection is often a benign condition which does not require therapy. By contrast, treatment with antiviral drugs is advisable for recipients of renal or liver grafts who may have shortened life expectancies as a consequence of hepatitis C. However, interferon alpha, which is the only available anti-hepatitis C treatment, has limited efficacy in immuno-compromised patients and it may accelerate graft rejection in some. Patients coinfected with the human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV-1) are another group for which treatment is uncertain, mainly because of the short survival times due to HIV-1.
