OBJECTIVE: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are major risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The role of a novel DNA virus, designated SEN virus (SENV), in the etiology of liver cancer remains to be established. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between SENV infection and the risk of HCC by conducting a hospital-based, case-control study among Thai patients. METHODS: Eighty-six patients with HCC were enrolled and matched individually to a control according to sex, age (+/- 5 yr), and geographic background. The presences of HBV DNA, HCV RNA, and SENV DNA in stored serum samples were detected with the use of semi-nested polymerase chain reaction amplification. RESULTS: Individuals who were infected with SENV did not have increased risk of developing HCC (OR=1.49, 95% CI=0.50-4.42). In contrast, those who were positive for HBV markers (hepatitis B surface antigen and/or HBV DNA) or HCV markers (anti-HCV and/or HCV RNA) had significant risk for HCC (OR=19.91, 95% CI=8.26-47.98 and OR=7.97, 95% CI=2.15-29.54, respectively). Moreover, coinfection with SENV did not further increase the risk of HCC among patients infected with HBV and/or HCV. CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that, unlike chronic HBV or HCV infection, SENV infection is not a risk factor for developing HCC in Thai populations. 相似文献

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The incidence of primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is greater in black Americans compared with white Americans. The aim of this study was to better define racial disparity in HCC patients in the United States. METHODS: We compared HCC risk factors in 158 black and 701 white HCC patients > or = 11 years of age in the Nationwide Inpatient Sample for 2000. RESULTS: Black HCC patients were younger than white patients (mean age, 54.1 +/- 17.1 vs. 65.1 +/- 13.7 y; P < .002). Sixty-two percent of black HCC patients were age 60 or younger, whereas 68% of white HCC patients were age 61 or older. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) (25.4%), diabetes (22.1%), alcohol (15.1%), cryptogenic cirrhosis (8.6%), and hepatitis B virus (HBV) (7.3%) were the most prevalent risk factors for HCC overall. HBV (22.8% vs 3.9%, P < .0001; adjusted odds ratio [OR], 5.3; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.0-9.2), HCV (34.8% vs 23.3%, P = .0003; OR, 1.3; 95% CI .9-1.9), concurrent HBV and HCV (8.2% vs 1.7%, P < .0001; OR, 4.5; 95% CI, 1.9-10.4), HBV plus diabetes (2.5% vs .3%, P = .002; OR, 14.1; 95% CI, 2.2-88.2), and HCV plus diabetes (8.9% vs 4.4%, P < .02; OR, 2.3; 95% CI, 1.2-4.6) were more common in black HCC patients. There was no racial difference in the frequency of alcoholic and cryptogenic liver diseases and diabetes. CONCLUSIONS: Higher rates of HBV, HCV, concurrent HBV and HCV, and viral hepatitis associated with diabetes might explain the greater burden of HCC in black Americans. 相似文献

AIM:To assess the role of the major risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) development in the western part of North Africa.METHODS:A multicenter case control study was conducted in Tunisia,Morocco and Algeria in collaboration with Pasteur Institutes in these countries.A total of 164 patients with HCC and 250 control subjects without hepatic diseases were included.Prevalences of HBsAg,anti-hepatitis C virus(HCV)and diabetes were assessed.HCV and HBV genotyping were performed for anti-HCV and HBsAg positive patients.RESULTS:The mean age of patients was 62±10 years old for a 1.5 M:F sex ratio.Sixty percent of HCC patients were positive for anti-HCV and 17.9% for HBsAg.Diabetes was detected in 18% of cases.Odd ratio(OR)and 95% confidence intervals(CI) were 32.0(15.8-65.0),7.2(3.2-16.1) and 8.0(3.1 -20.0)for anti-HCV,HBsAg and diabetes respectively.Multivariate analysis indicated that the three studied factors were independent.1b HCV genotype and D HBV genotype were predominant in HCC patients.HCV was the only risk factor significantly associated with an excess of cirrhosis(90% vs 68% for all other risk factors collectively,P=0.00168).Excessive alcohol consumption was reliably established for 19(17.6%) cases among the 108 HCC patients for whom data is available.CONCLUSION:HCV and HBV infections and diabetes are the main determinants of HCC development in North Africa.An active surveillance and secondary prevention programs for patients with chronic hepatitis and nutrition-associated metabolic liver diseases are the most important steps to reduce the risk of HCC in the region.Salah Berkane,Department of Gastroenterology BologhineUniversity Hospital,Bologhine 16090,Algiers,Algeria 相似文献

AIM To uncover novel genetic markers that could contribute to predicting hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)susceptibility in Caucasians. METHODS The present retrospective case-control study compared genotype frequencies between a cohort of HCC cases and two,independent,HCC-free,age/sex-matched control groups.The HCC cohort comprised 192 homogeneous patients that had undergone orthotopic liver transplantation.The first control group comprised167 patients that were matched to the HCC cohort for the percentage of hepatitis B(HBV)and/or hepatitis C(HCV)infections.A second control group included192 virus-free,healthy individuals that were used to evaluate the generalizability of the identified predictive markers.All cases and controls were Caucasian.The three study populations were characterized with a panel of 31 markers derived from 21 genes that encoded key proteins involved in hepatocarcinogenesis-related pathways.The study end-point was to assess the association between genetic variants and HCC onset. RESULTS Five genetic markers were identified as risk factors for HCC in high-risk patients infected with HBV/HCV.According to a dominant model,reduced HCC risk was associated with three polymorphisms:ERCC1rs3212986(OR=0.46,95%CI:0.30-0.71,P=0.0005),GST-P1 rs1138272(OR=0.41,95%CI:0.21-0.81,P=0.0097),and CYP17A1 rs743572(OR=0.50,95%CI:0.31-0.79,P=0.0032).Conversely,according to a recessive model,increased HCC risk was associated with two polymorphisms:XRCC3 rs1799794(OR=3.70,95%CI:1.02-13.39,P=0.0461)and ABCB1 rs1128503(OR=2.06,95%CI:1.18-3.61,P=0.0111).These associations remained significant in a subgroup analysis,where patients were stratified according to viral status(HBV-or HCV-positive serology).Two variants exhibited a serology-specific effect:ABCB1 rs1128503(OR=4.18,95%CI:1.55-11.29,P=0.0048)showed an effect in the HBV-positive subgroup;and ERCC1 rs3212986(OR=0.33,95%CI:0.18-0.60,P=0.0003)showed an effect in the HCV-positive subgroup.Among the five markers identified,ERCC1 rs3212986(OR=0.43,P0.0001)and CYP17A1 rs743572(OR=0.73,P=0.0310)had a different distribution in patients with HCC compared to healthy individuals.With a recursive partitioning approach,we also demonstrated that significant gene-gene interactions between ERCC1rs3212986,CYP17A1 rs743572,GST-P1 rs1138272,and the previously described UGT1A7*3 predictive marker,played a role in the complex trait of HCC susceptibility.CONCLUSION We identified five polymorphisms and interactions that contributed crucially to predicting HCC risk.These findings represented an important step towards improving HCC diagnosis and management. 相似文献

AIM: To assess the role of hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and alcohol intake as risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in the presence or absence of cirrhosis in Indian population. METHODS: A total of 213 patients with HCC and 254 control subjects not affected with hepatic diseases or neoplasm were recruited. Odds ratios (ORs) were estimated for each risk factor and synergism among various risk factors was also studied. RESULTS: The ORs and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of HCC were 48.02 (25.06-91.98) for any HBV marker, 38.98 (19.55-77.71) for HBsAg positivity, 12.34 (2.84-53.61) for HBsAg negative and antibody positive (either of anti-HBe or total anti-HBc), 5.45 (2.02-14.71) for anti-HCV positive and HCV RNA positive, and 2.83 (1.51-5.28) for heavy alcohol use. No significant risk increase was evident for subjects who were anti-HCV positive and HCV RNA negative. Synergism between alcohol and HCV infection in causing HCC was found, but not between alcohol and HBV. Overall, conclusive evidence of the presence or absence of cirrhosis was reached in 189 (88.73%) HCC patients; cirrhosis was present in 137 (72.48%) of them. ORs with 95% CI of HCC in the presence and absence of cirrhosis, respectively, for HBV were as follows: (i) 48.90 (24.61-97.19) and 35.03 (15.59-78.66) for any HBV marker; (ii) 39.88 (19.41-81.97) and 24.40 (10.60-56.18) for HBsAg positivity; and (iii) 12.10 (2.67-54.88) and 19.60 (3.94-97.39) for HBsAg negativity and antibody positivity. Significantly increased risk was found among cirrhotic patients for anti-HCV positivity and HCV RNA positivity [OR = 7.53 (2.73-20.78)] and for heavy alcohol use [OR = 3.32 (1.70-6.47)]; however, in the absence of cirrhosis, no significant risk increase was evident for subjects who were anti-HCV positive and HCV RNA positive [OR = 0.97 (0.11-8.54)], or who had history of heavy alcohol use [OR = 1.58 (0.55-4.53)]. CONCLUSIONS: Infection with HBV and HCV are the major risk factors for the development of HCC in Indian patients. Presence of HBV antibodies even in the absence of HBsAg conferred increased risk for HCC in the presence or absence of cirrhosis. Anti-HCV positivity in the absence of HCV RNA conferred no increased risk. HCV RNA positivity and heavy alcohol use significantly increased the risk of HCC among cirrhotic patients, but not non-cirrhotic patients. 相似文献

Background:
Association of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype C with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development remains controversial. HBV basal core promoter (BCP) double mutations (T1762A1764) are very strong confounding factors of genotypes B and C in HCC development.Objectives:
To investigate the association of HBV genotype C with HCC development after controlling for BCP double mutations.Materials and methods:
Four hundred and two serum samples from patients with HCC, liver cirrhosis (LC) and chronic hepatitis (CH) and also from asymptomatic HBsAg carriers were analyzed.Results:
Genotypes B (31.1%), C (62.8%), and I (6.1%) were detected. With the severity of liver disease the prevalence of genotype B decreased, but genotype C increased. No trend was found for genotype I. The prevalence of BCP double mutations in genotypes C and I viruses was significantly higher than genotype B. BCP double mutations are risk factors for CH, LC and HCC. Genotype C was not identified as a particular risk factor for HCC prior to the stratification analysis but after that genotype C viruses with BCP double mutations were found to be a particular risk factor for HCC (P = 0.008, OR = 17.19 [95% CI: 2.10 - 140.41]), but those with the wild-type BCP were not. In the interaction analysis, genotype C and BCP double mutations were found to have a synergistic effect on HCC development (P < 0.0001, OR = 52.56 [95% CI: 11.49-240.52]).Conclusions:
The effect of HBV genotype C on the development of HCC differs between wild-type viruses and those with BCP double mutations, suggesting that not all individuals infected with genotype C HBV are at increased risk of HCC. 相似文献9.
Genetic link of hepatocellular carcinoma with polymorphisms of the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase UGT1A7 gene. 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hepatocellular carcinoma is associated with risk factors including hepatitis C, hepatitis B, cirrhosis, genetic liver diseases, and environmental carcinogens. Uridine 5'-diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferases are a superfamily of detoxifying enzymes capable of tobacco-borne carcinogen detoxification and cellular protection. This study examines the association of UGT1A7 and UGT1A9 gene polymorphisms with hepatocellular carcinoma. METHODS: Genomic DNA from the blood of 59 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and 70 control subjects without evidence of cancer was analyzed by UGT1A7- and UGT1A9-specific PCR, sequencing analysis, and temperature gradient gel electrophoresis. RESULTS: Three UGT1A7 missense mutations were detected defining the UGT1A7*2, UGT1A7*3, and UGT1A7*4 alleles. Wild-type UGT1A7 alleles were present in 41.4% of controls but only in 6.8% of cancer patients (P < 0.001; odds ratio [OR], 9.73; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.17-29.83). UGT1A7 polymorphisms were present in 93.2% of hepatocellular cancer patients, 74.5% carried the UGT1A7*3 allele (P < 0.001; OR, 10.76; 95% CI, 4.75-24.38), which combines the W208R, N129K, and R131K mutations and encodes a protein with low carcinogen detoxification activity. No UGT1A9 polymorphisms were detected. CONCLUSIONS: The significant association of hepatocellular carcinoma with the UGT1A7*3 allele encoding a low detoxification activity protein is identified and implicates UGT1A7 as a risk gene of hepatocarcinogenesis in addition to a role as potential marker for cancer risk assessment in chronic liver disease. 相似文献

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most frequent cause of death in patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV)-induced cirrhosis. Despite a number of studies in different populations worldwide suggesting an association between HCV genotype 1 and the risk of HCC, no consensus has emerged yet on this matter, which is still controversial. In an attempt to clarify this issue, a prospective study of 163 consecutive HCV-positive patients with cirrhosis, who were enrolled between January 1989 and December 1990, was carried out. HCC occurrence was detected by ultrasound surveillance every 6 months. Independent predictors of HCC were assessed with a Cox regression analysis. After a median follow-up of 10.7 years, 44 [4.26/100/year, confidence interval (CI) = 3.11-5.68/100/year] of 104 patients infected with genotype 1b developed HCC versus 10 (1.69/100/year, CI = 0.82-3.09/100/year) of 52 patients infected with genotype 2a/c (P = 0.0001). Multivariate analysis showed that HCV genotype 1b was independently associated with HCC development [hazard ratio (HR) = 3.02, 95% CI = 1.40-6.53]. Other predictors of HCC were esophageal varices (HR = 2.15, 95% CI = 1.03-4.47), male gender (HR = 2.12, 95% CI = 1.10-4.11), and age over 60 years (HR = 5.96, 95% CI = 1.23-28.8). Conclusion: HCV genotype 1b is associated with a statistically significant higher risk of developing HCC. Patients with cirrhosis that are infected with this genotype require more intensive surveillance for the early detection and aggressive management of neoplasia. 相似文献

BACKGROUND/AIMS: To evaluate the strength of association between parenterally transmitted viral hepatitis and specific types of invasive procedures. METHODS: Data from the surveillance system for type-specific acute viral hepatitis (SEIEVA) during the period 1994-1999 were used. The association of acute hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with the potential risk factors (odds ratios (OR)) was estimated comparing 3120 hepatitis B and 1023 hepatitis C cases with 7158 hepatitis A cases, used as controls, by multiple logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: Most procedures resulted in being associated with the risk of acquiring acute HBV or HCV. The strongest associations were: for HBV infection, abdominal surgery (adjusted OR = 3.9; 95% confidence intervals (CI) = 2.0-7.5), oral surgery (OR = 2.7; 95% CI = 1.6-4.5) and gynaecological surgery (OR = 2.6; 95% CI = 1.2-5.5); for HCV infection, obstetric/gynaecological interventions (OR = 12.1; 95% CI = 5.6-26.3), abdominal surgery (OR = 7.0; 95% CI = 3.2-14.9) and ophthalmological surgery (OR = 5.2; 95% CI = 1.1-23.2). Biopsy and/or endoscopy were associated with HCV, but not with HBV infection. CONCLUSIONS: Invasive procedures represent an important mode of HBV and HCV transmission. Since a large proportion of the adult general population is exposed to these procedures and an effective HCV vaccine is not yet available, non-immunological means of controlling iatrogenic modes of transmission are extremely important. 相似文献

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Risks of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) following hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C virus (HBV/HCV) infection are well known, those for other cancers are less well understood. The aim was to quantify the risk of cancers among persons diagnosed with HBV/HCV infections. METHODS: The data from a cohort of 39109 HBV, 75834 HCV, and 2604 HBV/HCV co-infected persons notified to the State health department, 1990-2002, were probabilistically linked to the Cancer Registry and standardised incidence ratios (SIRs) for cancer were calculated. RESULTS: The match rate for any cancer was 2.7%, 2.3% and 3.3% for HBV, HCV and HBV/HCV co-infected notifications. SIRs for HCC were 30.6 (95% CI 25.7-36.5), 22.7 (95% CI 19.1-26.5) and 30.3 (95% CI 13.6-67.5), respectively. Increased risk was detected for Burkitt's lymphoma and HBV (SIR 12.9, 95% CI 5.4-30.9) and immunoproliferative malignancies following HCV (SIR 5.6, 95% CI 1.8-17.5). CONCLUSIONS: The risk of HCC in the infected cohort was 20-30 times greater than in the uninfected population with SIRs two to three times greater than those for the other HBV/HCV infection associated cancers. The modest though significant risk of immunoproliferative malignancies associated with HCV infection is consistent with recent findings. 相似文献

Association of pre-S deletion mutant of hepatitis B virus with risk of hepatocellular carcinoma 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

BACKGROUND: Pre-S deletion mutant of hepatitis B virus (HBV) affects the expression of middle and small surface proteins, resulting in intracellular accumulation of large surface protein. The correlation between pre-S deletion mutant and risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in hepatitis B virus carriers remains unclear. METHODS: Using molecular assays, pre-S deletion mutant of HBV were determined in 266 patients with chronic HBV genotype B or C infection. They included 202 asymptomatic carriers and 64 HCC patients. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of pre-S deletion mutant was 16.5%. Hepatocellular carcinoma (odds ratio [OR], 3.23; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.23-8.48, P = 0.02) and genotype C (OR, 3.19; 95%CI, 1.54-6.62, P = 0.002) were independently associated with the presence of pre-S deletion mutant. The prevalence of pre-S deletion mutant was comparable between HCC patients with genotype B and C infection. Nevertheless, in asymptomatic carriers, patients with genotype C infection were significantly associated with the presence of pre-S deletion mutant compared to those with genotype B infection (20.8% vs 7.2%, P = 0.007). Compared with age- and genotype B-matched asymptomatic carriers, young HCC patients (<50 years of age) had a significantly higher frequency of pre-S deletion (3.4% vs 20%, P = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS: Pre-S deletion mutant is more frequent in HBV carriers with genotype C infection, and those with pre-S deletion mutant may be associated with the development of HCC, irrespective of HBV genotype. 相似文献

AIM: To assess the rigorous relationship between human leukocyte antigens (HLA)-DR alleles and outcomes of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections by means of meta-analysis.METHODS: Medline/PubMed, EMBASE, CNKI and VIP were searched to identify relevant studies. Study quality was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were pooled using Stata 11.0. Subgroup analyses were performed by ethnicity. Heterogeneity and publication bias analyses were performed to validate the credibility.RESULTS: A total of 2609 patients with chronic hepatitis B and 2606 controls spontaneously recovering from prior HBV infection were included. Meta-analysis showed that HLA-DR*04 (OR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.60-0.85) and DR*13 (OR = 0.27, 95% CI: 0.19-0.37) alleles were significantly associated with HBV clearance while patients carrying HLA-DR*03 (OR = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.16-1.87) or DR*07 (OR = 1.59, 95% CI: 1.24-2.03) alleles had a significantly increased risk of chronic HBV persistence. For the HLA-DR*01 polymorphism, a significantly association with HBV clearance was found in Chinese Han group (OR = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.26-0.86), but not found in other ethnic groups (P = 0.191). For other polymorphisms, no association with the HBV infection outcome was found.CONCLUSION: HLA-DR*04 and DR*13 alleles may be the protective factors for HBV clearance and HLA-DR*03, and DR*07 alleles may be the risk factors for HBV persistence. 相似文献

AIM: High incidence rates of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in Guangxi, China, are primarily due to heavy aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) exposure via corn and groundnut consumption. This study was designed to examine the polymorphisms associated of three carcinogen-metabolizing genes (namely: GSTM1, GSTT1, and HYL1*2) and one DNA-repair gene (namely: XRCC1), and investigate their role as susceptibility markers for HCC. METHODS: We conducted a case-control study including 257 cases of cancer and 649 hospital-based age, sex, ethnicity, and hepatitis B virus infection-matched controls to examine the role of genetic polymorphisms of four genes (GSTM1, GSTT1, HYL1*2, and XRCC1) in the context of HCC risk for the Guangxi population. Genomic DNA isolated from 2ml whole blood was used to genotype GSTM1, GSTT1, HYL1*2, and XRCC1 by means of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. RESULTS: GSTT1-null genotype was not significantly associated with the risk of HCC, but GSTM1-null genotype [adjusted odds ratio (OR)=2.29, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.59-3.31], HYL1*2 genotypes with 113 His allele (namely: YH/HH, adjusted OR=2.55, CI=1.78-3.65), and XRCC1 genotypes with 399 Gln allele (namely: AG/GG, adjusted OR=2.47, CI=1.72-3.54) increased the HCC risk. Compared with those individuals who did not express any putative risk genotypes as reference (OR=1), individuals featuring all of the putative risk genotypes [GSTM1-null, HYL1*2-YH/HH, and XRCC1-AG/GG] did experience a significantly greater cancer risk (adjusted OR=10.83, CI=5.44-21.59, P(interaction)<0.01). Additionally, the risk of HCC did appear to differ more significantly among individuals featuring risk genotypes and high-level or long-term AFB1 exposure, whose adjusted ORs (CIs) were 52.44 (17.51-157.08) and 326.93 (38.58-2770.52), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that carcinogen metabolism and DNA-repair pathways may simultaneously modulate the risk of HCC for Guangxi population, and, particularly for these having high-level or long-term AFB1 exposure. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms in the uridine-diphosphoglucurono-syltransferase (UGT) UGT1A7 and UGT1A1 genes and patients suffering from colorectal cancer (CRC). METHODS: A case-control study was designed in order to investigate the genotypes of the UGT1A7 and UGT1A1 genes, which were identified by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method, for 268 CRC patients and 441 healthy controls. RESULTS: The results of simple logistical regressions revealed odds ratios (ORs) of 1.97 (P<0.001),1.91 (P<0.001),and 2.03 (P<0.001) for patients who carried the UGT1A7*1/*3 genotype,UGT1A7*3 allele,and variant-211 UGT1A1 allele.The interaction of UGT1A7*3 allele and variant-211 UGT1A1 allele produced an additive effect on the risk for the development of CRC [observed OR (2.34) greater than expected OR (1.59)]. For the 268 patients, the results of simple logistical regressions indicated that the OR of developing metastases was 4.90 (P<0.001) and 4.89 (P<0.001) for the individuals possessing UGT1A7*3 allele and variant-211 UGT1A1 allele, respectively. The results of multivariate logistical regressions confirmed these findings (OR = 2.51, P= 0.01; and OR=2.71,P=0.01,respectively).The interaction of these two variants resulted in an additive effect on the risk for metastases amongst patients [observed OR (6.83) greater than expected OR (4.56)]. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, carriage of the UGT1A7*3 allele, as well as variant-211 UGT1A1 allele represents a risk factor for the development of, and a determinant for, metastases associated with CRC patients. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND AIM: To estimate the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in non-alcoholic patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections, 118 patients who were admitted to a regional hospital in Saudi Arabia were compared with 118 age- and sex-matched healthy individuals. RESULTS: The prevalence of HBsAg in HCC patients (67%; 95% confidence interval (CI): 57.7-75.3) was significantly higher than the rate (6.7%; 95%CI: 3.0-12.9) in the controls (OR: 28.4; 95%CI: 12.6-63.9; P < 0.001). There was a high risk of HCC in the presence of HBsAg alone (OR: 34.3; 95%CI: 14.8-79.1, P < 0.001) and anti-HCV alone (OR: 12.2; 95%CI: 3.2-47.2; P < 0.001). Although HBV and HCV were independent risk factors in the development of HCC, there was no interactive relationship between the two viruses. Dual infections occurred in only 3.4% and were associated with only a moderate increase in the risk of HCC (OR: 14.6; 95%CI: 1.57-135.9). In 24.6% of the cases no virus was identified as the etiologic factor. CONCLUSION: Hepatitis B virus constitutes a major risk factor and HCV contributes a less significant role in the development of HCC. The ongoing program of HBV vaccination may significantly decrease the prevalence of HBV-associated HCC in this population. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence and severity of steatosis and possible interactions between steatosis, host factors, viral factors, and treatment for HIV infection in HIV-hepatitis C virus (HCV) coinfected patients. METHODS: Steatosis was assessed among 395 HIV-HCV coinfected patients who were enrolled in the ANRS trial HC02 Ribavic and for whom histological data were available. Steatosis was graded as follows: 0 (none); 1 (< 30% hepatocytes containing fat); 2 (30-70%); 3 (> 70%). RESULTS: Steatosis was present in 241 patients (61%), of whom 149 (38%) had grade 1, 64 (16%) grade 2 and 28 (7%) grade 3. In multivariate analysis, the following five independent risk factors were associated with steatosis: HCV genotype 3 [odds ratio (OR), 3.02; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.91-4.79; P < 0.0001], the mean METAVIR fibrosis score (OR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.11-1.84; P = 0.0053), the body mass index (BMI; OR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.05-1.21; P = 0.0013), HCV viral load (OR. 1.65; 95% CI, 1.22-2.23; P = 0.0012) and ferritin (OR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.06-1.21; P < 0.0003). As HCV genotype 3 was a risk factor for steatosis, further exploratory analyses were stratified according to the HCV genotype (1 and 3). Factors independently associated with steatosis were BMI and HCV viral load in patients with HCV genotype 3 infection and the mean METAVIR fibrosis score, the BMI and ferritin in patients with HCV genotype 1 infection. CONCLUSION: Steatosis is particularly frequent in HIV-HCV coinfected patients, who appear to have the same risk factors for steatosis as HCV monoinfected patients. None of the characteristics of HIV infection, including antiretroviral therapy, was independently associated with steatosis. 相似文献

Both hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses (HBV and HCV) infection are common in HIV-infected individuals as a result of shared risk factors for acquisition. A serological study for HBV and HCV was performed in 251 HIV-positive individuals from Medellín, Colombia. A qualitative RT-PCR for HCV was done in 90 patients with CD4+ T-cell count < 150 per mm(3). Serological markers for HBV infection were present in 97 (38.6%) patients. Thirty six of them (37.1%) had isolated anti-HBc. A multivariate analysis indicated that the following risk factors were significantly associated with the presence of these markers: age (OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 1.01-1.08), pediculosis pubis (OR = 1.83, 95% CI: 1.01-3.33), men who have sex with men and women (OR = 3.23, 95% CI: 1.46-7.13) and men who have sex only with men (OR = 3.73, 95% CI: 1.58-8.78). The same analysis restricted to women showed syphilis as the only significant risk factor. Thus, HBV infection was considerably associated with high risk sexual behavior. HCV was present in only two (0.8%) of HIV patients. Both of them were positive by RT-PCR and anti-HCV. This low frequency of HIV/HCV coinfection was probably due to the uncommon intravenous drug abuse in this population. The frequent finding of isolated anti-HBc warrants molecular approaches to rule out the presence of cryptic HBV infection. 相似文献
