A case of acute hepatitis E associated with multidrug hypersensitivity and cytomegalovirus reactivation

A 65-year-old Japanese man was hospitalized because of acute hepatitis and severe cholestasis due to hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection combined with a drug reaction to a cold preparation. He died of disseminated intravascular coagulation and severe intestinal bleeding due to systemic cytomegalovirus reactivation following the development of severe eruptions with marked eosinophilia due to drug hypersensitivity to taurine and ursodeoxycholate preparations. The close interaction between viral infection or reactivation and drug hypersensitivity was considered as a pathophysiology in this case, which emphasizes the need for further study of the immunological mechanism of the interaction.     

C4d in Acute Rejection After Liver Transplantation—A Valuable Tool in Differential Diagnosis to Hepatitis C Recurrence

Hepatitis C is the most common indication for liver transplantation. Recurrence of HCV is universal leading to graft failure in up to 40% of all patients. The differentiation between acute rejection and recurrent hepatitis C is crucial as rejection treatments are likely to aggravate HCV recurrence. Histological examination of liver biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosis of acute rejection but has failed in the past to distinguish between acute rejection and recurrent hepatitis C. We have recently reported that C4d as a marker of the activated complement cascade is detectable in hepatic specimen in acute rejection after liver transplantation. In this study, we investigate whether C4d may serve as a specific marker for differential diagnosis in hepatitis C reinfection cases. Immunohistochemical analysis of 97 patients was performed. A total of 67.7% of patients with acute cellular rejection displayed C4d-positive staining in liver biopsy whereas 11.8% of patients with hepatitis C reinfection tested positive for C4d. In the control group, 6.9% showed C4d positivity. For the first time we were able to clearly demonstrate that humoral components, represented by C4d deposition, play a role in acute cellular rejection after LTX. Consequently C4d may be helpful to distinguish between acute rejection and reinfection after LTX for HCV.     

江门市区实施乙型肝炎免疫策略16年的效果评价

目的：对江门市区1986年1月1日起全面实施的乙型肝炎(乙肝)免疫策略进行效果评价。方法：运用血清流行病学调查和疫情资料对比分析，比较实施“免疫策略”前后江门市区0～15岁人群乙肝发病率和感染率变化情况和乙肝表面抗体(抗-HBs)增长情况。结果：实施“免疫策略”后16年，0～15人群的乙肝发病率由1985年的367．39／10万，降至2001年的21．10／10万，下降94．26％；HBsAg阳性率由1985年的9．17％降至2002年的0．6％，下降93．46％；乙肝病毒总感染率由1985年的35．82％降至2002年的1．20％，下降96．65％；抗-HBs阳性率由1985年的24．64％上升到2002年的93．00％，上升2．77倍。结论：江门市区现行乙肝免疫策略效果显，能有效预防和控制地区性大面积的乙肝流行与传播。经过一代人的努力，能彻底改变人口乙肝高发病率和HBV高感染率及高携带率的状况。     

重型病毒性肝炎合并急性胰腺炎的临床分析

目的通过对重型病毒性肝炎合并急性胰腺炎的病例进行分析,以找出其临床特点.方法对上述病例的临床症状、实验室检查、治疗情况、病情的发生发展及预后进行分析.结果少数患者表现不典型或胰腺炎的症状被重型肝炎的严重症状所掩盖,容易发生漏诊及误诊;且病情发展快、预后差.结论只有对相应患者尽早做血、尿淀粉酶的测定并反复复查,才能做到及时诊断和治疗.     

Chronic delta hepatitis in haemophiliacs

The seroepidemiological profile of HBV and HDV was investigated in 640 male haemophiliacs. Twenty-seven of forty-four HBsAg carriers were anti-HDV-IgG positive, 22 were also anti-HDV-IgM positive. A markedly lower prevalence of HDV infection was found in patients with anti-HBc in the absence of HBsAg and anti-HBs (6/41). Repeated detection of anti-HDV-IgM in 5/41 individuals of this group indicates that circulating HBsAg is not an absolute prerequisite for chronic HDV infection. Overall, chronically active HDV infection was detected more frequently in quiescent than in active chronic HBV infections. Anti-HDV-IgM was not detected in the absence of anti-HDV-IgG antibodies. Anti-HDV-IgG may disappear after resolution of HDV infection, as indicated by the low prevalence (1/42) in such individuals with past HBV infection as well as by loss of anti-HDV-IgG observed in two patients.     

Fumonisins as a possible contributory risk factor for primary liver cancer: A 3-year study of corn harvested in Haimen, China, by HPLC and ELISA

Employing HPLC fluorometry, gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) and a novel enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on a monoclonal antibody, 40 corn samples, each collected in 1993 from agricultural stocks for human consumption in Haimen (Jiangsu County) and Penlai (Shandong Province), high- and low-risk areas for primary liver cancer (PLC) in China, respectively, were analysed for fumonisins (FBs), aflatoxins (AFs) and trichothecenes. Levels and positive rates of FBs and deoxynivalenol (DON) were significantly higher in Haimen than in Penlai. ELISA of the 40 corn samples harvested in the two areas in 1994 revealed that FB contamination levels and rates in these areas were comparable to those observed in 1993 in Haimen. ELISA analysis of 1993 and 1994 products revealed a wide occurrence of AFB₁ but the positive rates as well as levels were not significantly different between these areas. ELISA of the same sample number of corn harvested in 1995 revealed that FB contamination in Haimen was significantly higher than in Penlai. These 3-yearly surveys of corn samples (240 in total) demonstrated that corn harvested in Haimen was highly contaminated with FBs and that the contamination level, as well as positive rate in 1993 and 1995, were 10–50-fold higher than those in Penlai, suggesting FBs as a risk factor for promotion of PLC in endemic areas, along with the trichothecene DON. Co-contamination with AFs, potent hepatocarcinogens, was assumed to play an important role in the initiation of hepatocarcinogenesis.     

非放射性HBV－DNA探针在乙型肝炎病毒检测中的应用

以地高辛甙元随机引物法标记ＨＢＶ－ＤＮＡ探针，以此探针检测慢性乙型肝炎患者的血清、肝组织，同时以ＥＬＩＳＡ法检测血清ＨＢｅＡｇ、ＨＢｃＡｂ。结果：血清ＮＢｅＡｇ阳性率２７％（１０／３７），血清ＨＢＶ－ＤＮＡ检出率５７．１％（２０／３５），两者有显著性差异。血清ＨＢｃＡｂ阳性率７８．４％（２９／３７），肝组织ＨＢＶ－ＤＮＡ检出率８３．８％（３１／３７），两者无显著性差异。血清与肝组织ＨＢＶ－ＤＮＡ检出率有显著性差异。提示：血清ＨＢＶ－ＤＮＡ检测是较ＨＢｅＡｇ更为准确客观反映血液带毒状况的指标。而准确反映肝脏带毒状况的指标是肝组织ＨＢＶ－ＤＮＡ检测。当ＨＢｅＡｇ阴转，血清ＨＢＶ－ＤＮＡ阴性而肝组织ＨＢＶ－ＤＮＡ阳性时，需注意肝硬化及肝癌的发生。     

乙肝核酸疫苗在BALB/c小鼠体内的生物分布情况

目的：了解DNA疫苗在BALB／c小鼠体内的生物分布情况，建立DNA疫苗体内生物分布情况研究方法。方法：乙肝核酸疫苗(HBV DNA)经^32P标记、分离、纯化、鉴定后，胫前肌注射给药，结合三氯乙酸(TCA)沉淀，研究肌注乙肝核酸疫苗后BALB／c小鼠体内的生物分布情况。结果：质粒DNA疫苗除注射局部肌肉分布较多外，其他一些重要组织也有分布，其中腺体组织(肾上腺、胰腺、胸腺)中的浓度最高，其次为排泄物(尿、肠内粪)，脑组织中浓度最低。各组织中可沉淀放射性按血浆浓度时间曲线下面积(AUC)从高到低排列依次为胸腺、肾上腺、膀胱、生殖腺、脂肪、肠内粪、胰腺、颌下腺、脾、小肠、眼球、肝、肠内容、肾、甲状腺、肺、淋巴结、对侧肌肉、心脏和脑。结论：^32P标记DNA疫苗后各组织β计数结合三氦乙酸沉淀法研究核酸疫苗生物分布情况，方法灵敏、可靠，易于分析。     

慢性乙型肝炎病人血清中游离白细胞介素2受体升高的意义

应用放射免疫分析法测定慢性活动性肝炎(CAH)和慢性迁延性肝炎(CPH)病人及健康人血清中游离白细胞介素2受体(fIL2R)水平,CAH和CPH病人的cpm分别是2326±617及1277±397,健康人仅为343±213。结果发现:CAH和CPH病人血清中fIL2R水平均显著高于健康人(P<0.01);CAH病人血清中fIL2R水平高于CPH病人(P<0.01)。提示,慢性乙型肝炎病人血清中fIL2R水平升高可能与其免疫应答异常及炎症活动性有关。
