We conducted a retrospective study of 65 patients with chronic hepatitis C, to determine whether the secondary structure of the amino-terminal 120 residues of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS3 protein is associated with an increased risk of development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The cumulative incidence of HCC was highest among patients infected with group B HCV-1b, wherein the risk of HCC significantly increased compared with that among patients infected with group A (hazard ratio, 4.95 [95% CI, 1.43-17.11]) after adjustment for age and histological stage. This HCV-1b grouping may be a useful marker for detecting the risk of development of HCC.
我们对65例慢性丙型肝炎患者进行了一项回顾性研究,以确定丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)NS3蛋白氨基末端120个残基的二级结构是否与肝细胞癌(HCC)发生风险增加相关。HCC的累积发病率在感染B组HCV-1b的患者中最高,在调整年龄和组织学分期后,与感染A组的患者相比,HCC风险显著增加(风险比,4.95 [95%CI,1.43 - 17.11])。这种HCV-1b分组可能是检测HCC发生风险的一个有用标志物。
