摘要:
目的 分析HBV相关肝细胞癌患者经长期抗病毒治疗后HBV RNA水平及意义。 方法 本研究选取2019年6月—2020年8月天津市第二人民医院收治的HBV相关肝细胞癌患者60例。入组患者至少2年接受核苷(酸)类似物(NAs)抗病毒治疗,至少2次间隔3个月经罗氏试剂检测高敏HBV DNA<20 IU/mL。所有患者均进行肝功能、HBV血清标志物及HBV RNA检测。多组间比较运用Kruskal-Wallis H检验,两组间比较采用Wilcoxon秩和检验。应用Pearson相关分析探讨HBV RNA影响因素。 结果 60例HBV相关肝细胞癌经长期抗病毒治疗患者,HBV RNA检测阳性者9例,占比15%。根据AFP结果,分为AFP阳性组及AFP阴性组,两组HBV RNA水平分别为0(0~3.57)、0(0~2.00),差异无统计学意义(Z=-1.474, P=0.141);根据BCLC分期不同,分为BCLC A期、B+C+D期,两组HBV RNA水平分别为0(0~2.0)、0(0~2.0),差异无统计学意义(Z=-0.607,P=0.544);根据HBeAg水平不同,分为HBeAg阳性组和HBeAg阴性组,两组HBV RNA水平分别为2.99(0~4.80)、0(0~0.50), 差异有统计学意义(Z=-3.400,P=0.001)。根据HBsAg滴度不同,分为HBsAg≤100 IU/mL、100 IU/mL<HBsAg<1500 IU/mL、HBsAg≥1500 IU/mL 3组,3组HBV RNA水平分别为0 (0~0)、0 (0~0.20)、2.00 (0~4.54),差异有统计学意义(H=-7.899,P=0.019)。纳入年龄、ALT、AST、GGT、ALP、AFP、HBsAg、HBeAg进行Pearson相关分析,HBsAg水平与HBV RNA定量相关(r=0.292,P<0.05)。 结论 长期NAs抗病毒治疗的HBV相关肝细胞癌患者,在HBV DNA低于检测下限后,HBV RNA仍可检测到;HBsAg滴度可能与血清HBV RNA水平相关。 Abstract:Objective To investigate HBV RNA level in patients with HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma after long-term antiviral therapy and its clinical significance. Methods A total of 60 patients with HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma who were admitted to Tianjin Second People's Hospital from June 2019 to August 2020 were enrolled in this study. These patients received antiviral therapy with nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) for at least two years, and high-sensitivity HBV DNA detection showed a HBV RNA level of < 20 IU/mL at least twice at an interval of 3 months. Liver function, HBV serum markers, and HBV RNA level were measured for all patients. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison between multiple groups, and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison between two groups; a Pearson correlation analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors for HBV RNA. Results Among the 60 patients with HBV-related hepatocellualr carcinoma who received long-term antiviral treatment, 9 (15%) tested positive for HBV RNA. According to the level of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), the patients were divided into AFP positive group and AFP negative group, and there was no significant difference in HBV RNA level between the two groups [0(0-3.57) vs 0(0-2.00), Z=-1.474, P=0.141). According to Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage, they were divided into BCLC stage A group and BCLC stage B+C+D group, and there was no significant difference in HBV RNA level between the two groups [0(0-2.0) vs 0(0-2.0), Z=-0.607, P=0.544]. According to HBeAg level, the patients were divided into HBeAg positive group and HBeAg negative group, and there was a significant difference in HBV RNA level between the two groups [2.99(0-4.80) vs 0(0-0.50), Z=-3.400, P=0.001]. According to the titer of HBsAg, they were divided into HBsAg≤100 IU/mL group, 100 IU/mL < HBsAg < 1500 IU/mL group, and HBsAg ≥1500 IU/mL group, and there was a significant difference in HBV RNA level between the three groups [0(0-0.0) vs 0(0-0.20) vs 2.00(0.0-4.54), H=-7.899, P=0.019]. A Pearson correlation analysis was performed for age, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, alkaline phosphatase, alpha-fetoprotein, HBsAg, and HBeAg, and the results showed that HBsAg level was correlated with HBV RNA quantification (r=0.292, P < 0.05). Conclusion In patients with HBV-related hepatocellualr carcinoma receiving long-term antiviral therapy with NAs, HBV RNA can still be detected after HBV DNA is lower than the lower limit of detection. HBsAg titer may be correlated with serum HBV RNA level. -
