概括
在C型肝炎病毒 (HCV) 治疗启动率和治愈率在各个种族/族裔群体的监狱环境中相似. 然而,只有不到三分之二的慢性HCV患者在监禁期间开始直接作用的抗病毒治疗.
科学领域:
- 肝病学 肝病学是一种肝病学.
- 传染性疾病 传染性疾病
- 公共卫生 公共卫生
背景情况:
- 美国惩教人口中,特别是按种族/种族分类的,C型肝炎病毒 (HCV) 护理级联数据有限.
- 了解这些差异对于监禁人员的有效公共卫生干预至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 评估C型肝炎病毒 (HCV) 护理级联按种族/种族在州惩教人口.
- 确定不同种族/民族群体在HCV检测,诊断,治疗和治愈率方面的潜在差异.
主要方法:
- 使用康涅狄格州惩戒部门 (2019-2023) 的数据进行了一项回顾性队列研究.
- 这项研究包括监禁的个人进行了测试,诊断并用直接作用抗病毒药物 (DAA) 治疗慢性HCV感染.
- 通过Poisson回归来比较跨种族/种族群体的HCV护理级联结果,并根据人口和法律因素进行调整.
主要成果:
- 在24867名接受HCV检测的人中,慢性HCV感染率在白人中最高 (15.2%),在黑人中最低 (2.6%).
- 虽然63.2%的慢性HCV患者在监禁期间开始接受DAA治疗,但根据种族/民族,这一比例没有显著差异.
- 在那些有治疗后数据的人群中,HCV治愈率超过了所有种族/族群的98.8%.
结论:
- 只有不到三分之二的慢性HCV囚犯开始接受DAA治疗,几乎所有人都治愈了.
- 尽管在HCV暴露和慢性感染方面存在差异,但在治疗开始和治愈率方面,种族/民族差异并不显著.
- 需要增加HCV治疗的努力,特别是对监禁时间较短的人来说,以改善护理级联结果.

Retrovirus Life Cycles
45.8K
Retroviruses have a single-stranded RNA genome that undergoes a special form of replication. Once the retrovirus has entered the host cell, an enzyme called reverse transcriptase synthesizes double-stranded DNA from the retroviral RNA genome. This DNA copy of the genome is then integrated into the host’s genome inside the nucleus via an enzyme called integrase. Consequently, the retroviral genome is transcribed into RNA whenever the host’s genome is transcribed, allowing the...
