Hepatitis B : an oral treatment with combinations of antiviral drugs has been effective against hepatitis

A team of American researchers has successfully treated chronic hepatitis B (HBV) in marmots orally.

The researchers evaluated the antiviral effect of orally administered adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), alone or in combination with lamivudine (3TC) or emtricitabine (FTC) in marmots with chronic hepatitis viral.
It was found that the treatment administered once daily for 48 weeks with ADV more than 3TC or TDF FTC has greatly reduced viral levels from those pretreatment.

The team, comprising researchers from Cornell University and Georgetown Universtiy Medical Center, found no toxicity after administration of a drug or drug combinations.

"In conclusion, oral administration of 3TC, FTC, ADV, and TDF alone and in combination, is safe and effective in the Woodchuck model for HBV infection, the researchers said.
An article describing the study was published in the Journal Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy. (ANI)

chronic hepatitis C: more likely to be recovered from an old drug

Based on two important discoveries in the fight against hepatitis C, researchers at Stanford University say that an old drug may be effective against hepatitis C.

It was also discovered that an obsolete anti-itching, clemizole hydrochloride could obstruct the protein and reduce the replication of the virus.

Dr. Jeffrey Glenn, associate professor of gastroenterology and hepatology, has been quoted in the journal Nature, by stating, "We are excited about this and we are actively moving towards clinical trials." The research team studied more than 1200 candidates. According to Stephen Quake, PhD, professor of bioengineering, microfluidic technology has been used for the first time to discover a specific drug.

Co author Doron Gerber, with a PhD in bioengineering, when searching for specific drug has discovered 18 other drugs that substantially reduce the 'NS4B but focused on clemizole because, as noted, is believed to be safe for 'man.

Regarding the clemizole, Glenn said it could become an essential component of a new class of multidrug treatments for hepatitis C.

Hepatitis: hiding in the bathroom

The risk of contracting hepatitis C is hidden in the bathroom of his home, traveling the bristles of the toothbrush and razor blade. Objects of daily use which mixed use sometimes hides dangerous pitfalls. So not only do piercings or tattoos done in centers that do not meet the necessary hygiene standards required by law. Toothbrushes, razors, and manicure and pedicure instruments should be used only by one person, and avoid that they become household items in common use.
