Objective To investigate the incidence and possible related factors for fatty liver among workers engaged in light manual labor in Tianjin, China. Methods Among 800 healthy workers engaged in light manual labor randomly selected from a company in Tianjin, a total of 602 healthy workers completed physical examination and data collection. The content of fat and liver stiffness were determined by controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) using FibroScan, and the disease history, body mass, height, blood pressure, and living habits in all subjects were investigated. The possible related factors for different degrees of fatty liver were analyzed. Between-group comparison of continuous data was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis H test, and comparison of categorical data was performed using χ2 test with row×column tables. Pairwise comparison was performed using χ2 segmentation method, and the agreement between CAP and color ultrasound was analyzed using the Kappa coefficient. Results Among the 602 subjects, there were 180 (29.9%), 195 (32.3%), and 227 (37.7%) subjects with severe fatty liver, moderate fatty liver, and no fatty liver, respectively. There were significant differences in age, body mass index, waist-hip ratio, smoking, drinking, history of diabetes, and family history between the above three groups according to CAP (P<0.05 for all). With higher sensitivity, CAP achieved a significantly higher detection rate of fatty liver than traditional color ultrasound (62.3% vs 44.0%, P=0.000). The agreement between two methods was poor (Kappa value <0.4). Conclusion Among the so-called “healthy people” engaged in light manual labor, the incidence of fatty liver has exceeded 60%, which is associated with body mass index, waist-hip ratio, bad living habits, history of diabetes, and family history of fatty liver. CAP can noninvasively detect fatty liver with higher sensitivity and less time; however, its clinical significance needs further studies.
目的 了解慢性乙型肝炎病毒感染患者部分肾功能早期损伤指标变化及其影响因素. 方法 对2012年4月~2013年6月于武警后勤学院附属医院和天津市第三中心医院就诊的慢性乙型肝炎病毒感染患者90名进行调查,患者分别诊断为慢性乙型肝炎、乙型肝炎肝硬化及乙型肝炎病毒相关肝癌.进行尿微量白蛋白、尿转铁蛋白、尿IgG、血清β2微球蛋白检测评价患者早期肾脏功能.并同时检测患者肝肾功能,测算患者eGFR水平,并记录患者性别、年龄、血压、体质量及药物使用情况等一般信息.比较不同诊断乙型肝炎感染患者肾脏早期功能损伤的程度是否存在不同.随后按照是否存在肾功能早期损伤将患者诊断、一般情况等纳入多因素分析,找出慢性乙型肝炎病毒感染者肾功能早期损伤指标异常可能相关因素.结果 所有检测慢性乙型肝炎病毒感染者的血清肌酐水平均在正常检测范围.所有患者的eGFR异常率为12.7%,但肾功能早期损伤指标异常率高达72.2%(x2=56.25,P=0.000).患者疾病状态不同则肾功能早期损伤指标异常情况也不相同.尿转铁蛋白在慢性乙型肝炎、乙型肝炎肝硬化及肝癌患者数值分别为(1.91±1.06) mg/L、(2.66±3.01)mg/L、(6.73±8.32) mg/L,3组间比较差异有统计学意义(F=7.669,P=0.001);尿IgG的异常率在3组分别为4/30 (13.3%),15/29 (51.7%),11/30 (36.7%),差异有统计学意义(F=10.39,P=0.006);血清β2微球蛋白异常率分别为10/30 (33.3%),18/29 (62%),23/30(76.7%),差异有统计学意义(F=12.75,P=0.002).经Logistic回归分析,慢性乙型肝炎病毒感染者肾功能早期损伤指标异常的独立危险因素为患者年龄及疾病状态.结论 我们的研究初步表明,慢性乙型肝炎病毒感染者中,肾功能早期损伤异常率明显高于eGFR异常率,患者年龄和疾病状态是导致肾功能早期损伤指标异常的独立危险因素.但这种异常的具体临床意义有待进一步观察研究.

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.
Objective: To establish a direct gene sequencing method of HBV DNA P gene and discuss YMDD mutation of HBV DNA P gene in chronic hepatitis B patients and related factors. Methods: HBV DNA P genes were amplified by PCR and HBV YMDD mutations were identified by direct sequence compared with Genebank standard sequence. HBV P gene sequence analysis was conducted in 107 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. Results: YMDD mutation, rate was 32.7% in 107 chronic hepatitis B patients including YIDD mutation in 17, YVDD mutation in 15 and multi-mutations in 3. Serum ALT level before therapy in patients without YMDD mutation was higher than those in patients with YMDD mutation, and HBV DNA level in pretreatment patients without YMDD mutation was much higher than those in YMDD mutation patients. There was no significant difference between the pretreatment patients without YMDD mutation and with YMDD mutation in sex, age and the state of HBeAg. Conclusion: HBV YMDD mutation may be related to ALT and HBV DNA level before treatment and not related to sex, age and the state of HBeAg.
OBJECTIVES To study the relationship between HBV genotypes and the efficacy of antiviral therapies. METHODS HBV genotypes of 90 hepatitis B e antigen positive patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) were determined by PCR sandwich hybridization-ELISA technique. Forty-one patients with CHB were treated with lamivudine (100 mg/day) for 48 weeks and 49 patients with CHB were given alpha-interferon (3 MU/QOD) therapy for 48 weeks. The serological, biochemical and virological symbols were measured before, during and after treatment for all the patients. RESULTS Of the 90 patients, genotype B HBV was found in 16 and C in 74. There was no difference in the rate of response to lamivudine treatment between patients with genotype B or C HBV (33.3% vs. 20.0%) after 48 weeks treatment with lamivudine in the 41 patients. Of the 49 HBeAg positive CHB patients treated with alpha-interferon for 48 weeks, in HBV genotype B and C patients the rates of normalization of ALT were 60.0% and 20.5%; the rate of HBeAg turning to negativity was 50.0% and 17.9%; and the rate of HBV DNA undetectability was 50.0% and 17.9%. The rate of response to the interferon treatment was significantly higher in patients with HBV genotype B compared to those with genotype C. CONCLUSIONS Our study shows that there is no influence on the lamivudine treatment effects for the HBV genotype B and C CHB patients, but the alpha-interferon treatment for HBV genotype B CHB patients is more effective than that for the genotype C ones.
<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
Almost all patients with HCV has HCV recurence after liver transplantation.Its pathogenesis is different according to different phases of this diseases.Fctors affecting its recurence includes HCV genetype,quasispecies,virus load,HLA matching between donator and recepptor,recurrence time,donator age and so on,in which the application of immunosuppressant is the most important influencing factor.There is still disputation about starting therapeutic time of antiviral drug because of its high price,limited efficacy and low tolerance.At present,the most possible therapeutic plan is to apply interferon with prolonged action alone.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the liver pathological changes and the clinical features of patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in their immune tolerant phase and non-active status. METHODS Fifty-four patients with chronic HBV infection in their immune tolerant stage and another 47 patients with the same infection but in non-active status were involved in this study. Statistical analysis including the ages and sex of the patients, their serum levels of HBV DNA, hepatocytic expression of HBsAg and HBcAg and their liver pathology were studied and statistically analyzed. Histological grading of inflammation and staging of fibrosis in the livers were also compared and analysed in patients with different levels of serum ALT. RESULTS The sex ratio of the two groups was of no significant difference. The average age of the patients in the non-active status [(28.11+/-8.60) years.] was older than that of the patients in the immune tolerant stage [(24.93+/-7.21) years], showing a significant difference (P < 0.05). The serum levels of HBV DNA of the patients in the immune tolerant stage were high and 94% of them had a HBV DNA higher than 106 copies/ml. In the non-active status group, 89% of the patients were HBV DNA negative. Between the two groups of patients there were no significant differences in the histological grades of liver inflammation or in the hepatocytic expressions of HBsAg and HBcAg. The stage of fibrosis was higher in the non-active status group than in the immune tolerant stage group, showing a significant difference between these two groups (u = 2.004, P < 0.05). The fibrosis stages of the livers of patients of a higher but within normal ALT level were markedly higher than those of a lower but within normal ALT level patients (u = 3.274, P less than 0.01). CONCLUSION Patients infected with HBV in non-active status may have experienced some occult courses of immune active stages; they are older in age and have higher levels of fibrosis. ALT sustained at a high level but within the normal range may indicate a higher degree of fibrosis, therefore liver pathological studies should be recommended for this kind of patient.
