To determine whether the TTV infection occurs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with chronic hepatitis B (of medium degree) and in HBsAg positive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
TTV DNA in PBMCs was detected by nested-polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and in situ hybridization (ISH).
7 of 26 cases of chronic hepatitis B were positive for TTV DNA by nested-PCR with a positive rate of 26.9% that was significantly higher than that of normal control(chi 2 = 14.3, P < 0.001); 4 of 21 HBsAg positive cases were positive for TTV DNA by nested-PCR with a positive rate of 19.0%, also significantly higher than that of normal control(chi 2 = 4.86, P < 0.05). 4 of 7 TTV positive patients with chronic hepatitis B tested by nested-PCR were positive for TTV DNA by ISH in PBMC cytoplasm, with a positive rate of 57.1%.
(1) A higher incidence of TTV DNA in PBMCs of patients with chronic hepatitis B and in HBsAg positive HCC was identified by nested-PCR and ISH; (2) TTV DNA was in the cytoplasm of PBMCs in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
确定TTV感染是否发生于慢性乙型肝炎(中度)患者的外周血单个核细胞(PBMC)以及HBsAg阳性的肝细胞癌(HCC)患者中。
采用巢式聚合酶链反应(PCR)和原位杂交(ISH)检测PBMC中的TTV DNA。
26例慢性乙型肝炎患者中,7例巢式PCR检测TTV DNA呈阳性,阳性率为26.9%,显著高于正常对照组(χ2 = 14.3,P < 0.001);21例HBsAg阳性患者中,4例巢式PCR检测TTV DNA呈阳性,阳性率为19.0%,也显著高于正常对照组(χ2 = 4.86,P < 0.05)。7例巢式PCR检测TTV阳性的慢性乙型肝炎患者中,4例PBMC细胞质ISH检测TTV DNA呈阳性,阳性率为57.1%。
(1)通过巢式PCR和ISH检测发现,慢性乙型肝炎患者PBMC以及HBsAg阳性HCC患者中TTV DNA的发生率较高;(2)慢性乙型肝炎患者PBMC的细胞质中存在TTV DNA。
