AIM To compare the clinical classification of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) by different methods and analyze their relationship with the pathological features of the liver.METHODS In this study,133 patients who were clinically diagnosed with DILI and underwent liver pathological examination were enrolled.We adopted the criteria established and updated by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS classification standard) and the guidelines developed by the European Association for the Study of the Liver in 2009 (EASL diagnostic criteria) for DILI clinical classification.The classification results were compared with liver pathological damage types to analyze the relationship between different classification standards and liver pathology.RESULTS The results of classification using "R value" were consistent to those using "R'value".The differences among the results of classification using the CIOMS classification standard,EASL diagnostic criteria,and liver pathology were statistically significant (P < 0.01).The percentage of cases with hepatocellular type and the overall percentage of cases with cholestatic type and mixed type diagnosed by the three methods were as follows:(CIOMS:79.70% vs 20.30%;EASL:54.89% vs 45.11%;liver pathology:37.59% vs 62.41%).Based on liver pathology,the diagnostic accordance rates of "R value","R'value",and EASL diagnostic criteria were 41.35%,41.35%,and 51.13%,respectively.During the one-year follow-up period,24 (18.05%) cases developed chronic DILI,including 15 (62.50%) cases with cholestasis in liver pathology.CONCLUSION The biochemical method based on the CIOMS classification standard and the EASL diagnostic criteria cannot objectively reflect the pathological manifestations in the liver.
Objective To analyze the relationships of serum ferritin ( SF) level, degree of Liver inflammation and types in patients with liver disease.Methods Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and albumin ( ALB) ( by automatic biochemical analyzer ) and SF ( by immune turbidimetry ) , serum iron ( SI ) ( by complex legal) were detected and analyzed in 203 hospital patients of acute or chronic liver injury , whose SF were higher than nor-mal.The correlations between SF , SI and indicators of liver inflammation were analyzed as wel as the changes of SF and SI in patients with different liver cancer types and pathological degrees .Results Positively correlation was detected between the SF, SI and the ALT, AST (all P<0.01).SF was negatively correlated with ALB (P<0.01).The degree of elevated SF was the order of HEV infection , drug-induced hepatitis, HBV infection and HCV infection (χ2 =13.551, P<0.01) in different etiology , and meanwhile , ALT and AST followed the same order .The SI levels showed no statistical significance in different etiology(P>0.05).The levels of serum ferritin in acute hepatitis and liver failure patients were significantly higher than those in chronic hepatitis , liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma .SI level was the lowest in hepatocellular carcinoma, and the difference in the remaining four groups performed no statistical significance (P>0.05).Conclusions SF is positively correlated with indicators of liver inflammation ( ALT, AST) .In patients with hepatitis C and liver fail-ure, SF can evaluate liver function more objectively and accurately than ALT and AST in clinical .

Objective: To retrospect clinical efficacy of entecavir in the treatment of chronical hepatitis B.Methods: 56 patients with chronical hepatitis B were recruited as subjects.Half of the subjects were assigned into the investigational group in which entecavir was taken in a dose of 0.5 mg per day and the left given 100 mg of lamivudine daily into control group.Normalization of ALT,negative rate of HBV DNA in the serum and the seroconversion of e-antigen in the two groups were detected at 4,8,12 and 24 wk respectively.Results: Normalization rate of ALT,negative rate of HBV DNA and serum conversion rate of e-antigen in the treatment group and the control group were 25% and 21%(P> 0.05),50% and 25%(P> 0.05),0% and 5%(P>0.05) respectively at 4 wk;36% and 29%(P> 0.05),71% and 32%(P<0.05),19% and 21%(P> 0.05) at 8 wk;54% and 39%(P> 0.05),75% and 71%(P> 0.05),31% and 32%(P> 0.05) at 12 wk;75% and 61%(P>0.05),89% and 75%(P>0.05),44% and 42%(P>0.05) at 24 wk.Conclusion: Entecavir can suppress the replication of hepatitis B virus more effectively in an earlier stage,compared with lamivudine.There is no significant difference in normalization of ALT and serum conversion rate of e-antigen between the two groups along with the decline in the level of HBV DNA.
Objective To investigate the clinical and pathological characteristics of patients with chronic hepatitis B virus(HBV)infection in immune tolerant phase.Methods Ninety-eight chronic HBV carriers in immune tolerant phase were enrolled in this study.The age,gender,serum HBV DNA level,hepatic inflammatory activity and fibrosis,hepatic HBsAg and HBcAg expressions were analyzed.The grade of inflammatory activity and stage of fibrosis were also compared in patients with different levels of serum alanine aminotransferase(ALT).Data analysis was done by chi-square test. Results In 98 patients,83(84.7%)were<30 years old and 15(15.3%)were≥30.Patients whose mother was HBsAg positive were 48.0%.High levels of serum HBV DNA were found in all patients, with 78.5% were>1×107 copy/mL.Only 5 cases(5.1%)were G0 of the inflammatory grade;whereas,64 cases(65.3%)were G1,29(29.6%)were G2.There were 56 patients(57.1%)had no significant liver fibrosis;and 23 cases(23.5%)were S1,14(14.3%)were S2,5(5.1%)were S3;none of patients had cirrhosis.The HBsAg and HBcAg in liver tissues were positive in 79(80.6%)and 80(81.6%)cases,respectively.The fibrosis stages of patients with higher ALT levels were significantly greater than patients with lower ALT levels(X2=8.112 3,P=0.043 7).Conclusions Most of patients with chronic HBV infection in immune tolerant phase present mild inflammation in liver,some of them have already developed fibrosis.Therefore,liver pathology is recommended for these patients to help understand the patients' conditions and make correct therapeutic decisions.
<正>HBV所激发的免疫应答和免疫病理反应是乙型肝炎发病机制的关键。其中细胞毒性T淋巴细胞(CTL)是细胞免疫反应的主要执行者,而针对HBcAg的CTL应答决定病毒是否被清除。当HBV基因发生变异,可改变氨基酸分子的表达,尤其当CTL识别的重要表位发生变异会改变机体对病毒的免疫反应。本研究通过对HBV DNA C基因区进行核苷酸序列分析,并同时检测患者外周血
根据乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)全基因组序列差异≥8%或S基因序列≥4%,可将HBV分为A~H 8个基因型.不同基因型的产生反映了HBV变异进化的特点.目前有很多研究显示,HBV基因型与病情轻重有较密切的关系.本研究用S基因序列测定法对天津地区223例HBV DNA阳性的乙型肝炎患者进行基因分型,并分析其与临床的相关性.

OBJECTIVES:To study the relationship between the mutation of Leu60Val in HBV core region and the cellular immunity in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).METHODS:HBV DNA C gene mutation was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequencing the products directly. The cytokines (IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha and IL-2) levels in serum were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The distribution of T-lymphocyte subpopulations in peripheral blood was detected by flow cytometry (FCM).RESULTS:The mutation of Leu60Val was found in 19 out of the 91 CHB patients. With the CHB severity, the mutation rate was getting higher, especially in the severe hepatitis group. The IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha levels were much higher in mutant strain group than those in wild strain group (t=2.584, 4.766, P<0.01), so was the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ (t=2.275, P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The mutant strain of 60Val may increase affinity to HLA-I molecule, or up-regulate the expression of HLA-I molecule, resulting in the activation of CTL to release the cytokines and cause immune response in liver.
Objective:To study the relationship between serum retinol_binding protein(R BP)and prealbumin(PA)in patients with viral hepatitis and its clinical significa nce.Methods:Nephelometric assay was used to detect serum RBP and PA in 113 patie nts with viral hepatitis.Twenty healthy persons were control.Results:Levels of s erum RBP and PA were correlative with the degree of liver damage.The level of se rum RBP and PA declined with thedecrease of liver function.There was a positive correlation between serum RBP an d PA,and the correlation coefficient was 0.83.Conclusion:The level of serum RBP and PA is a marker to reflect the degree of liver damage.The half life of RBP is significantly shorter than that of PA RBP is more sensitivity than PA and can be used to predict liver damage.
