"It is estimated that worldwide 300 million individuals are chronically infected by the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), a cause for a great number of mortality due to chronic liver disease. It is also estimated that at least 30% of chronic hepatitis B patients will suffer from liver cirrhosis. Young patients, who are infected by HBV during infancy or childhood, have a higher incidence rate of cirrhosis compared to those who were infected as adults.1Additionally, chronic HBV infection has also been acknowledged as the most important causative factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), especially in areas with an epidemiologically high incidence rate of HBV infection. Beasley et al found that adult males with chronic HBV infection have a relative risk for HCC 200 times that of uninfected individuals."

"Genotipe virus hepatitis B (VHB) mempunyai hubungan yang erat dengan prognosis dan terapinya serta diperlukan untuk studi epidemiologi. Pemeriksaan ini hanya bisa dikerjakan di kota-kota besar saja karena kesulitan pengiriman sampel akibat masalah geografis maupun fasilitas. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah genotipe VHB dapat ditentukan dari serum kering pada kertas saring dan membandingkan hasil tersebut dengan serum yang diambil langsung dari pasien hepatitis B kronik (HBK) dan hepatoma. Dua puluh tiga sampel dapat diambil dari pasien HBK dan konsentrasi DNA VHB di tentukan dengan Cobas Amplicor HBM (Roche Diagnostics GmBH, Germany) kemudian diteteskan pada kertas saring (3 x 1 cm). Setelah dikeringkan dalam kantong plastik, diletakkan dalam amplop tertutup dan disimpan selama 1 minggu dalam suhu kamar (27 – 33 oC). Ekstraksi DNA dilakukan dari kertas saring tersebut setelah diinkubasi dan penentuan genotipe VHB dilakukan dengan PCR menggunakan primer-primer spesifik. Untuk perbandingan, telah didapatkan 20 sampel pasien HBK-HBe (+) dan 29 sampel pasien hepatoma yang tidak dikeringkan. Genotipe VHB dapat dideteksi pada 18/23 (78,2%) serum kering pada kertas saring sedangkan pada serum yang tidak dikeringkan, dari pasien HBK-HBe(+) 20/20 (100%) sampel terdeteksi dan dari pasien hepatoma 24/29 (82,7%) sampel. Proporsi genotipe yang terdeteksi sesuai dengan proporsi genotipe yang pernah dilaporkan di Indonesia. Kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah genotipe VHB dapat dideteksi dari serum kering pada kertas saring yang disimpan selama 1 minggu. (Med J Indones 2005; 14: 215-9)

HBV genotype has a close association with prognosis and therapy as well as for epidemiology study. However, this examination can be done only in large cities that are not practical to send serum sample due to geographical burden and facilities. The aim of this study is to know whether HBV genotype can be determined from dried and stored serum on filter paper and compare the result with sera drawn directly from chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and hepatoma patients. Twenty-three serum samples were obtained from CHB patients. HBV DNA were quantitatively determined with Cobas Amplicor HBM (Roche Diagnostics GmBH, Germany) and dropped on to 3 x 1 cm filter papers. After allowed to dry in a plastic clip, it were put in a closed envelope then stored for 1 week in room condition (27 – 33 oC). DNA extraction were done from the filter papers after a short incubation period and HBV genotypes were determined with PCR and specific primers. For comparison, 20 CHB-Hbe(+) samples and 29 hepatoma samples were drawn directly and not dried. HBV genotype were detected in 18/23 (78.2%) from dried serum samples on filter paper while in sera that were not stored, from CHB-HBe(+) samples, 20/20 (100%) could be determined while from hepatoma patients, 24/29 (82.7%) samples. The proportion of genotype were in line with other reported HBV genotype examination for Indonesia. It is concluded that detection of HBV genotype can be done from dried serum in filter paper and stored for 1 week. (Med J Indones 2005; 14: 215-9)"

"ABSTRAKInfeksi oleh virus hepatitis B (VHB) dapat menjadi infeksi akut yang berakhir dengan resolusi infeksi ataupun berlanjut menjadi infeksi kronis. Resolusi infeksi dalam infeksi VHB ditandai dengan hilangnya hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) dan keberadaan antibodi terhadap HBsAg (anti-HBs). Kemampuan sel B dalam mensintesis anti-HBs dipengaruhi oleh sel T helper 1 (Th1) ataupun T helper 2 (Th2). Sekresi sitokin yang terkoordinasi dari Th1 ataupun Th2 sangat dibutuhkan mengingat sitokin yang dihasilkan oleh kedua sel T helper (Th) tersebut memiliki peranan yang berbeda dan dapat bekerja secara antagonis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kemampuan pasien hepatitis B kronis dalam mensintesis anti-HBs dan membandingkan pola sintesis sitokin IL-10, IFN-gamma dan IL-2 dari pasien hepatitis B kronis dengan pasien yang mengalami resolusi infeksi. Pada penelitian ini sel mononuklear darah tepi manusia (SMDT) diambil dari 10 subjek pasien hepatitis B kronis, 10 subjek pasien yang mengalami resolusi infeksi dari hepatitis B dan 10 subjek individu sehat yang berhasil divaksinasi. SMDT dikultur dengan stimulan HBsAg rekombinan (rHBsAg) atau fitohemaglutinin (PHA) untuk sintesis sitokin dan pokeweed mitogen (PWM) untuk sintesis anti-HBs secara in vitro. Hasil dari penelitian ini ditemukan produksi anti-HBs secara in vitro dari 70% individu sehat yang berhasil divaksinasi dan 40% pasien hepatitis B yang mengalami resolusi infeksi, sementara pada pasien hepatitis B kronis tidak ditemukan hal tersebut. Pola sitokin IL-10, IFN-gamma dan IL-2 antara pasien hepatitis B yang mengalami resolusi infeksi dan pasien hepatitis B kronis tidak memiliki perbedaan yang bermakna. Akan tetapi, respons IFN-gamma terhadap rHBsAg pada pasien hepatitis B yang mengalami resolusi infeksi cenderung lebih kuat. Korelasi antara sitokin IL-10, IFN-gamma dan IL-2 dengan produksi anti-HBs secara in vitro tidak ditemukan pada kedua kelompok tersebut, sementara korelasi IL-2 dengan sintesis anti-HBs in vitro ditemukan pada individu yang divaksinasi. Penelitian ini menunjukkan SMDT dari pasien hepatitis B kronis tidak dapat mensintesis anti-HBs secara in vitro dan pada pasien tersebut tidak memiliki perbedaan pola sintesis sitokin IL-10, IFN-gamma dan IL-2 jika dibandingkan dengan pasien hepatitis B yang mengalami resolusi infeksi.

ABSTRACTHepatitis B virus (HBV) infection can lead to acute self-limited infection or lead to chronic hepatitis B infection. Resolution of infection is marked by seroconversion of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) to antibody to HBsAg (anti-HBs) which also give protection to HBV reinfection. Anti-HBs is produced by B cells as response to HBsAg. B cells response to HBsAg is affected by cytokines from T helper 1 (Th1) and T helper 2 (Th2) cells. Coordinated cytokines secreted by Th1 or Th2 cells is necessary due to the fact that they could work antagonistically. Th1 cytokines, such as IFN-gamma, are known to induce cellular immune responses, while Th2 cytokines, such as IL-4, -5 and -10, are known to induce humoral immune responses. This study aimed to investigate the capability of chronic hepatitis B patients (CHB) to synthesize anti-HBs in vitro and to compare IL-10, IFN-gamma and IL-2 levels between CHB patientis with resolved hepatitis B (RHB) patients. In this study, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were taken from 10 CHB patients, 10 RHB patients and 10 healthy hepatitis B vaccinated individuals. PBMCs were cultured in presence of recombinant HBsAg (rHBsAg) and PHA to cytokines synthesis and pokeweed mitogen (PWM) to anti-HBs synthesis in vitro. As results, synthesis of anti-HBs in vitro were found in PBMCs from 70% of healthy hepatitis B vaccinated individuals and 40% of RHB patients, while PBMCs from CHB patients could not. No significant differences were found in IL-10, IFN-gamma and IL-2 cytokine levels between CHB patients and RHB patients, although IFN-gamma responses to rHBsAg had a tendency to be stronger in RHB patients. Correlation between IL-10, IFN-gamma and IL-2 cytokine levels and anti-HBs synthesis in vitro was not found in CHB patients and RHB patients. Meanwhile, IL-2 and anti-HBs synthesis in vitro were correlated in healthy hepatitis B vaccinated individuals. In conclusion, this study showed that PBMCs from CHB patients were not capable in synthesizing anti-HBs in vitro and had no differences in IL-10, IFN-gamma and IL-2 cytokine levels with RHB patients."

"ABSTRACTHepatitis B virus (HBV) infects hepatocytes and causes acute and chronic hepatitis that can lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in both animals and humans. Early detection of HBV infection assists in monitoring the patient's response to anti-HBV therapy, blood donation screening, and disease management, control and eradication. This research focused on development of LAMP assay combined with lateral flow dipstick (LFD), gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) and real-time turbidimetry for screening of the hepatitis B virus. Analytical sensitivity, analytical specificity, diagnostic sensitivity, diagnostic specificity, accuracy and predictive value of each technique were determined and compared to conventional PCR and real-time PCR (gold standard method). The analytical sensitivity of LAMP-LFD and LAMP-AuNPs was 1.24x101 copies /mL, LAMP-real-time turbidimetry was 1.24x102 copies/mL, while that of conventional PCR was 1.24x104 copies/mL. Examination of the analytical specificity of all LAMP-based combinations and conventional PCR showed no cross-reactivity with HCV or human plasma. Upon exploration of one hundred unknown samples, in comparison to real-time PCR, the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of LAMP-based assays were 100% and 90%, respectively. The accuracy, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of the LAMP-based assays were 98%, 97.56%, and 100%, respectively. While that of conventional PCR were 60%, 100%, 68%, 100% and 38% of diagnostic sensitivity, diagnostic specificity, accuracy, PPV and NPV, respectively. LAMP-based assays need to be simplified in terms of achieving single-step diagnosis using one master mix solution that is suitable for a point-of-care diagnostic test. "
