Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the correlation between serum chemokine CXCL13 (CXCL-13), interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels and liver function damage and hepatitis B virus replication in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
Methods:Eighty patients with CHB who were treated in Jiyuan People′s Hospital of Henan Province from January 2016 to December 2018 were selected as the study subjects. According to the severity of the disease, the patients were divided into mild group (34 cases), moderate group (26 cases) and severe group (20 cases). Eighty healthy people in the same period were selected as control group, and the serum levels of CXCL-13, IL-1β and IL-6 were detected and compared. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the relation between CXCL-13, IL-1β, IL-6 and ALT, AST, HBV-DNA.
Results:The levels of ALT, AST, serum CXCL-13, IL-1β and IL-6 in patients with CHB were significantly higher than those in control group (P=0.000 for all comparisons); the levels of ALT, AST, HBV DNA and serum CXCL-13, IL-1β and IL-6 in patients with CHB were significantly higher than those in control group (P=0.000 for all the comparisons). Serum CXCL-13, IL-1β, IL-6 were positively correlated with ALT and AST (P=0.000, P=0.006, P=0.003, P=0.000, P=0.000, P=0.001), CXCL-13 level was positively correlated with HBV DNA (P=0.014), IL-1β and IL-6 were not correlated with HBV DNA. There were positive correlations among CXCL-13, IL-1β and IL-6 (P=0.012, P=0.019, P=0.008).
Conclusions:Serum CXCL-13 and IL-1β, IL-6 were closely related to the degree of liver function damage and disease progression in CHB patients. The level of CXCL-13 is positively correlated with the amount of hepatitis B virus. Therefore, close monitoring of serum CXCL-13, IL-1β and IL-6 in CHB patients is of clinical reference value for judging the patient′s condition.
