September 29, 2009, in the digestive system by the Taiwan Medical Association's "2009 Asia-Pacific Digestive Medicine Week," Annual Meeting (AsianPacificDigestiveweek2009), China Hepatitis Prevention Foundation (referred to as: Liver Foundation) Executive Vice President Wang Zhao appeal: should be multi-disciplinary joint, sound referral system, so that hepatitis C "is nowhere to hide!"
Wrong! 8 percent of people mistakenly think that hepatitis C vaccine
We all know, China is a big country of hepatitis B, but it's brothers, "hepatitis C", people they know and how much? There are 180 million hepatitis C patients worldwide, is AIDS 4 times the infected person; world caused by the hepatitis C-related liver disease deaths doubled every 10 years; in China, in 1992 national survey found that among all levels of hepatitis C antibody positive rate of 3.2%, estimated that about 38 million patients in recent years, the national epidemiological survey results are not yet officially announced, the positive rate level may implement voluntary blood donation, strict management of blood collection, blood products and other measures has been reduced, the statutory annual infection Epidemic Reporting system shows the incidence of hepatitis C showed a rising trend year by year: 2008 Report of the hepatitis C incidence of about 12 million, six times in 2003.
"Hepatitis C virus found in late, the last century, about 90 projects have hepatitis C diagnosis. Because the symptoms are hidden, hepatitis C generally have to 'hide the '10-20 years after the symptoms begin to show, which also is why in recent years started a large number of patients were diagnosed because, "Wang Zhao said.
The same as infectious diseases, hepatitis C and hepatitis B transmission is similar, is different: There is no vaccine to prevent hepatitis C, because hepatitis C virus genetic variability, resulting in the body and antibody is difficult to cope with the many new varieties. Therefore, the prevention of hepatitis C key is to take effective measures to cut off transmission, strict screening of blood donors to eliminate hepatitis C virus through broken skin, mucous membranes, caused by dirty means of sexual and perinatal transmission, and to early diagnosis and treatment patients infected with hepatitis C, to minimize the source of infection.
Urgent! Let patients know that hepatitis C cured
Statistics, the initial incubation period of hepatitis C virus infection is 2-16 weeks, the average is 6-7 weeks, 80% of patients with acute hepatitis C have no symptoms, about 50-85% of acute and chronic hepatitis C patients will progress , among which about 10-15% of patients may be around 20 years after infection and the development of liver cirrhosis, once the development of cirrhosis in each of the 1-7 percent will turn into deadly Hepatic carcinoma . Caused by the hepatitis C disease burden and death toll is doubled.
For patients, HCV infection does not mean the end of the treatment? No! Through the standard system of treatment, some of hepatitis C can be cured! HCV treatment in accordance with current international best solution: pegylated interferon + ribavirin, using adequate doses of treatment for one year, the cure rate of hepatitis C can reach about seven to Bacheng.
Treatment of hepatitis C is mainly with the role of interferon. Interferon specific cell surface receptors, thereby inhibiting the virus within the infected cell replication, inhibition of cell proliferation, and immunomodulatory effects, blocking the spread of hepatitis virus. The data show that successful treatment by pegylated interferon in hepatitis C patients, mean follow-up after treatment to 4.1 years, 99% (989/997) of patients with lasting effect, the effect achieved clinical cure.
Liver Foundation has to be a one survey 99% of the people in Mainland China on the route of transmission of hepatitis C disease, there was no correct understanding of preventive measures, making hepatitis C only 10% attendance rate. Wang Zhao said: "The more important task is: to make known hepatitis C infection severity of disease, if treated early, methods, drug properly, hepatitis C is completely curable."
Good! Multidisciplinary joint, sound referral system, hepatitis C scares
Long been engaged in the work of Wang Zhao hepatitis prevention and control in recent years more to consider is: how hospitals across the country bring together multi-disciplinary, and establish a rational screening and referral system, effective control of HCV. I am an expert from China Quality Lighting, usually analyzes all kind of industries situation, such as winstrol depot , injectable vitamin.
