Prophylactic effect of tenofovir on viral reactivation in immunocompromised pregnant women living with hepatitis B virus

Le Zhang, Shaoying Yang, Yongfu Yu, Suli Wang, Yuetian Yu, Yi Jin, Aimin Zhao, Yimin Mao, Liangjing Lu – 19 May 2022 – The appropriate prophylaxis for hepatitis B virus reactivation (HBVr) during gestation for immunocompromised pregnant women has yet to be determined. The prophylactic efficacy and safety of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)–positive patients and the HBVr risk in hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb)–positive patients during gestation were investigated.

Beyond circadian rhythms: emerging roles of ultradian rhythms in control of liver functions

Gad Asher, Bokai Zhu – 18 May 2022 – The mammalian liver must cope with various metabolic and physiological changes that normally recur every day and primarily stem from daily cycles of rest‐activity and fasting‐feeding. Although a large body of evidence supports the reciprocal regulation of circadian rhythms and liver function, the research on the hepatic ultradian rhythms have largely been lagging behind.
