Abstract

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The outcome of HBV infection, including the dynamics of HBsAg and HBV virological reactivation, among patients coinfected with HCV receiving direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) remains unclear. Thus, we aimed to analyze HBV-related outcomes in these patients. METHODS: Serial HBsAg and HBV DNA levels were measured in 79 HBV/HCV-coinfected patients receiving DAAs (13 receiving anti-HBV nucleot(s)ide analog [NUC] therapy simultaneously). The endpoints included HBsAg dynamics and seroclearance, HBV reactivation (HBV DNA >1 log increase or >100 IU/ml if undetectable at baseline) and HBV-related clinical reactivation. RESULTS: HBsAg levels declined from a median of 73.3 IU/ml at baseline to 16.2 IU/ml at the end-of-DAA treatment and increased to 94.1 IU/ml at 12 months post-treatment. During a mean 11.1-months of follow-up, 8 (10.1%) patients experienced HBsAg seroclearance and 30 (38.0%) HBV reactivation (12-month cumulative incidence, 10.3% and 40.4%, respectively). Patients with pre-treatment HBsAg ≤10 IU/ml had a significantly higher rate of HBsAg seroclearance (hazard ratio [HR] 8.52; 95% CI 1.048-69.312) and lower risk of HBV reactivation than those with pre-treatment HBsAg >10 IU/ml (HR 2.88; 95% CI 1.057-7.844) in multivariate analyses. Six patients (4 cirrhotics) not receiving NUC therapy experienced HBV-related clinical reactivation; 3 of the 4 cirrhotics developed liver failure and 2 died despite immediate NUC therapy. Compared to untreated HBV-monoinfected patients, HBV/HCV-coinfected patients without NUC prophylaxis had a similar rate of HBsAg seroclearance, but a significantly higher risk of HBV reactivation following DAA therapy (HR 6.59; 95% CI 2.488-17.432). CONCLUSIONS: DAA-treated HBV/HCV-coinfected patients had significantly higher rates of HBV seroclearance, particularly among those with low pre-treatment HBsAg titer, but were at higher risk of HBV reactivation, particularly among those with higher pre-treatment HBsAg titer.

Abstract

Motivation toward learning is crucial factor for the students from the beginning of their education and motivation toward learning is changing during education of students and the motivation is influences by many factors. The main aims of the research was to find out the motivation of high school students toward learning, the personality traits of high school students and also relationship between motivation and personality traits. The research was also focused on the examining of variables like gender, grade level and achievement on the motivation and personality of students. The sample size was created from the high school students (n = 201). In the research were used two research tools Academic Motivation Scale and NEO Five-Factor Inventory. The gender and achievement of students had got an influence on the motivation toward learning. The relationship was detected between some subscales of motivation and some personality traits. In conclusion are presented some implications for pedagogical practice and suggestion for further research.

Abstract

29th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition; 1756-1758, This study examines the enhanced photoelectric conversion observed in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) solar cells with a flexible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) antireflection layer (ARL) with embedded ZnO nanorods fabricated using an aqueous solution method. The cell with the PDMS antireflection layer with embedded ZnO nanorods enhance the short-circuit current density from 18.27 to 21.12 mA/cm2 under a simulated one-sun condition. Because of the sun’s movement, the broadband and omnidirectional light harvesting is important. Therefore, the omnidirectional anti-reflection of CIGS solar cells with the various ARL is also investigated.
