    Objectives: There are several risk factors contribute to the development of the B-cell Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (B-NHL) among which hepatitis B, hepatitis C virus (HBV, HCV) infection, as well as old age, are known to have a signi cant effect. Previous studies examining the relationship between HBV, HCV infection and B-NHL show inconsistent results in different endemic areas. Methods: We compared the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and antibody against the HCV (anti-HCV) positive incidences among aged 40 years or older patients who have been newly diagnosed with B-NHL, between 2015 and 2018, to prevalence of hepatitis B and C virus infection in the general population of Mongolia in the same age by data of the general population in hepatitis screening and the results of previous studies on the Mongolian population. Results: A total of 187 patients, newly diagnosed with B-NHL ≥40years of age took part in our study. In case of these two groups, the prevalence of HBsAg in the B-NHL population was close to the general population while anti-HCV positive was signi cantly higher in the B-NHL group (p<.00001). Conclusion: Further studies are needed to clarify the reasons and contributing factors which result situations where the HBV prevalence among B-NHL patients and the general population are not signi cantly different.

    Objectives: Direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) have successfully eradicated chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Since chronic HCV is known to have an increased risk of developing B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL), successful HCV treatment may have virologic, hepatic, and oncologic benefits for B-NHL. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the efficacy of DAAs combined with chemotherapy in B-NHL patients with chronic HCV in Mongolia. Methods: This case-control study included newly diagnosed B-NHL patients with chronic HCV who received DAAs before chemotherapy (with DAAs group). The other is comprised of controls who have been treated by chemotherapy without DAAs. Patients who received courses of DAAs were monitored by the virological and hepatic responses. Results: Eleven patients received DAAs and none of them developed chemotherapy-associated hepatitis flare. Of the DAAs group, during DAAs treatment, 90.9% were clinically stable. In all cases of DAAs in combination with chemotherapy, the Sustained Viral Response (SVR)12 and 24 were 100%. However, 47.4% of those who received DAAs after chemotherapy developed hepatitis flare during chemotherapy. Patients with hepatitis flare had higher serum level of ALT before chemotherapy (15.7 U/L vs. 40.2 U/L; p = 0.014) than those without. Conclusion: DAAs administration results in a significant clinical benefit to B-NHL patients with chronic HCV.

    Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Standard Triple and Sequential Regimens for Helicobacter pylori Eradication
    (Mongolian National University of Medical Sciences, 2016-11-25) ; ; ; ;
    Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare effectiveness of sequential therapy to the standard triple therapy to eradicate Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in Mongolia. Methods: From September 2014 to February 2016, 140 patients with confirmed H. pylori infection (upper gastrointestinal tract (GI) endoscopy, rapid urease test, histology, H. pylori stool antigen test (HpStAg)) randomly received 10 days standard triple therapy (20 mg pantoprazole, 1 g amoxicillin, 500 mg clarithromycin, all twice daily for 10 days; STT group, n = 70), and sequential therapy (20 mg pantoprazole, 1 g amoxicillin twice daily for 5 days followed by 20 mg pantoprazole, 500 mg clarithromycin, 500 mg metronidazole twice daily for 5 days; SQT group, n = 70). Successful eradication therapy for H. pylori infection was defined as a negative HpStAg test 4 weeks after the end of eradication treatment. Results: The eradication rates by intention to treat (ITT) analysis were 71.4% (50/70) and 50% (35/70) in the STT and SQT groups, respectively (p = 0.033). The eradication rates by per-protocol (PP) analysis were 72.5% (50/69) and 51.5% (35/68) in the STT and SQT groups, respectively (p = 0.018). The adverse event rates were 7.6% (5/70) and 18.6% (13/70) in the STT and SQT groups, respectively (p = 0.043). Conclusion: The eradication rate was significantly higher in the STT group compared with the SQT group. But the eradication efficacies of both STT and SQT for H. pylori infection in Mongolia are unacceptable.

    Initial Trials With Susceptibility-Based and Empiric Anti-H. pylori Therapies in Mongolia
    Background: Mongolia has a high prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection and gastric cancer. We conducted a prospective, randomized, single-blind study to evaluate the efficacy of common regimens in Mongolia and to obtain specimens for susceptibility testing. Methods: Empiric treatments: 270 patients with confirmed H. pylori infection were randomized to receive 10 days clarithromycin-triple therapy (Clari-TT) (n = 90), modified bismuth quadruple therapy (M-BQT) (n = 90), or sequential therapy (ST) (n = 90). A second group of 46 patients received susceptibility-based Clari-TT. H. pylori was cultured from 131 patients and susceptibility testing was performed. H. pylori eradication was confirmed by stool antigen 4 weeks after the therapy. Results: Intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis cure rates were 71.1% (95% CI = 61.7-80.5%) for Clari-TT, 87.8% (95% CI = 81-94.6%) for M-BQT, 67.8% (95% CI = 58.1-77.5%) for ST vs. 89.1% (95% CI = 86-98.2%) for susceptibility-based Clari-TT. Per-protocol (PP) analysis results for these therapies were 72.7% (63.4-82%), 89.8% (83.5-96.1%), 68.5% (58.8-78.2%), and 97.6% (89.5-99.8%), respectively. Among 131 cultured H. pylori, resistance rates to amoxicillin, clarithromycin, and metronidazole were 8.4, 37.4, and 74%, respectively. Conclusion: In Mongolia, the prevalence of H. pylori resistance is high requiring bismuth quadruple therapy or susceptibility-based therapy to obtain acceptable cure rates.
