HONG KONG Cheap Carl Soderberg Jersey , Sept. 14 (Xinhua) -- Hepatitis B virus (HBV) treatment is confirmed an effective way to reduce liver cancer incidence, according to a study by the University of Hong Kong which made the results public on Thursday.
The university's research team obtained 14-year (from 1999 to 2012) HBV treatment data in specialist out-patient clinics in Hong Kong and statistically studied the effect of HBV treatment on liver cancer trends.
It is found that HBV treatment is associated with a reduction in overall liver cancer incidence, and the effect is the most obvious among the age group of 55-64 years.
The liver cancer incidence is reduced by 24 percent among men who received HBV treatment in the age group of 55-64 years and reduced by 8.5 percent among women who received HBV treatment in the same age group.
This could be explained by a high treatment prescription rate and high clinic attendance rate among this age group, the researchers said.
The preventive effect of HBV treatment in the elderly age group (over 65 years) is diminished. This might be because drug prescription rates and clinic attendance rates among the elderly population are lower.
Generally speaking Cheap Tyson Jost Jersey , Hepatitis B can be monitored through regular check-up if the level of activity of HBV is low. If the HBV level of activity is high and elevated liver enzymes occur, HBV treatment may be considered.
The study confirmed the effectiveness of HBV treatment in reducing the burden of liver cancer. The university encourages HBV-infected patients to receive long-term follow-up and receive treatment when necessary.
Richard Yuen Man-fung, chair professor of gastroenterology and hepatology of the university's medical department, said that the study confirmed HBV treatment can reduce liver cancer incidence rate. "Through strengthened community outreach Cheap Mikhail Grigorenko Jersey , there will be a better control in liver cancer incidence in Hong Kong."
VILNIUS, Sept. 14 (Xinhua) -- The Baltic state of Lithuania has played down the threat and fear arising from a large-scale joint Russia-Belarus military exercise called Zapad-2017, which started on Thursday.
Zapad 2017, a joint strategic exercise of the Russian and Belarusian armed forces Cheap Ben Smith Jersey , is scheduled for Sept. 14-20. It is one of Russia's biggest military drills in the past several years. It is held on the border with Lithuania, Poland and Belarus.
Lithuanian Defense Minister Raimundas Karoblis said his country "has been frightened too much" about the military training by its borders.
"That causes me the biggest concern. It seems that we are frightening ourselves more than the adequate situation is," Karoblis told the country's national radio LRT on Thursday.
Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite said the Baltic country is prepared for the Zapad 2017 military exercise near its borders "better than ever before".
"We are better prepared than we were during Zapad exercises in 2009 and 2013," Grybauskaite told LRT in an interview aired on Thursday.
"We have more deterrence and defense instruments in our territory. We are also supported by our partners from NATO Cheap Rene Bourque Jersey ," she added.
According to local media reports, Lithuania has found itself under security threat and asked for additional defense assistance from NATO amid tensions in Eastern Europe in recent years.
