n: Number; responders: Patients who had normal ALT and HBeAg and HBV DNA after treatment; non-responders: Pa-tients who had abnormal ALT, HBeAg and HBV DNA after treatment; normal: Normal group; Pre-T: Before treatment; Post-T: After treatment;

^aP < 0.05, vs before treatment in the same group,

^bP < 0.01, vs normal group.
