To explore relations between ALT level and hepatitis B virus (HBV) specific CTL and non-specific CTL in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
148 cases of CHB were divided into three groups according to ALT level. 35 cases in group A, ALT > or =2 x upper limit of normal value (ULN)--5 x ULN (100-250 IU/L); 53 cases in group B, ALT > 5 x ULN-- < or =10 x ULN (251-500 IU/L); 60 cases in group C, ALT > 10 x ULN ( > 500 IU/L). Flow cytometry is used to determine non-specific CTV. HBV specific CTL was tested on 74 cases of CHB (17 in group A, 27 in group B and 30 in group C) with positive (HLA)-A2. Compare HBV specific CTL, non-specific CTL, HBV DNA levels and positive rate of HBeAg.
HBV specific CTL: Group A (0.42 +/- 0.10)% is higher than group B (0.25 +/- 0.08)%, t = 6.37, P < 0.01, group B is higher than group C (0.17 +/- 0.004)%, t = 5.14, P < 0.01; Non-specific CTL: Group A (15.01 +/- 3.01)% is lower than group B (18.1 +/- 5.02)%, t = 2.81, P < 0.01, group B is lower than group C (21.5 +/- 6.11)%, t = 3.07, P < 0.01; HBV DNA level: Group A [(4.97 +/- 0.86) log10 copies/ml] is lower than group B [(5.92 +/- 0.92) log10 copies/ml], t = 4.87, P < 0.01. Group B is lower than group C [(6.37 +/- 0.71) log10 copies/ml], t = 2.92, P < 0.01; Positive HBeAg: Group A (15 cases, 42.86%) is lower than group B (32 cases, 60.38%), chi2 = 2.59, P > 0.05. Group B is lower than group C (41 cases, 68.33%), chi2 = 0.78, P > 0.05. Group A is lower than group C, chi2 = 5.929, P < 0.05.
The higher the non-specific CTL of patients with CHB is, the higher the ALT level would be, whereas the lower the HBV specific CTL is, the stronger the HBV replication would be.
探讨慢性乙型肝炎(CHB)患者丙氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT)水平与乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)特异性细胞毒性T淋巴细胞(CTL)及非特异性CTL之间的关系。
148例CHB患者按ALT水平分为三组。A组35例,ALT≥2倍正常上限值(ULN)且≤5倍ULN(100 - 250 IU/L);B组53例,ALT>5倍ULN且≤10倍ULN(251 - 500 IU/L);C组60例,ALT>10倍ULN(>500 IU/L)。采用流式细胞术检测非特异性CTL。对74例CHB患者(A组17例、B组27例、C组30例)进行(人白细胞抗原)HLA - A2阳性的HBV特异性CTL检测。比较HBV特异性CTL、非特异性CTL、HBV DNA水平及HBeAg阳性率。
HBV特异性CTL:A组(0.42±0.10)%高于B组(0.25±0.08)%,t = 6.37,P<0.01;B组高于C组(0.17±0.004)%,t = 5.14,P<0.01。非特异性CTL:A组(15.01±3.01)%低于B组(18.1±5.02)%,t = 2.81,P<0.01;B组低于C组(21.5±6.11)%,t = 3.07,P<0.01。HBV DNA水平:A组[(4.97±0.86)log10拷贝/ml]低于B组[(5.92±0.92)log10拷贝/ml],t = 4.87,P<0.01;B组低于C组[(6.37±0.71)log10拷贝/ml],t = 2.92,P<0.01。HBeAg阳性:A组(15例,42.86%)低于B组(32例,60.38%),χ² = 2.59,P>0.05;B组低于C组(41例,68.33%),χ² = 0.78,P>0.05;A组低于C组,χ² = 5.929,P<0.05。
CHB患者非特异性CTL越高,ALT水平越高;而HBV特异性CTL越低,HBV复制越强。
