黑龙江省乙型肝炎血清流行病学调查分析

为了掌握黑龙江省乙型肝炎(乙肝)病毒(HBV)流行现状和人群免疫水平,评价我省儿童乙肝疫苗预防接种效果,为制订乙肝预防控制策略提供依据。采用横断面调查方法,选择全省7个国家级疾病监测点,在每个监测点随机抽取2个乡级单位,1～59岁作为目标人群共调查3337名人群。黑龙江省1～59岁人群乙肝病毒表面抗原(HBsAg)阳性率、乙肝病毒表面抗体(抗-HBs)阳性率和乙肝病毒核心抗体(抗-HBc)阳性率经标化后为5.65%、55.45%、30.50%,1～3岁人群乙肝表面抗原阳性率明显低于15～59岁人群。1～3岁、4～10岁和11～14岁人群乙肝疫苗全程接种率为99.43%、89.40%和64.81%;首针及时接种率分别为86.64%、75.57%和49.87。城市和农村HbsAg阳性率分别为3.26%和5.04%。医院出生儿童乙肝疫苗首针及时接种率高于在家出生儿童。结果显示接种乙肝疫苗可明显提高抗-HBs阳性率,提高人群对HBV的免疫保护能力,降低HBsAg携带率。     

HBV感染中抗-(抗-HBs)独特型抗体的研究

1.75％聚乙二醇(MW6000)沉淀血清免疫复合物后,采用ELISA法检测上清中抗独特型抗体〔抗-(抗-HBs)〕。56例急性HBV感染患者血清IgM抗-(抗-HBs),第一周检出率最高(60.00％),1个月后大部分阴性,IgG抗-(抗-HBs)维持时间略长。IgM抗-(抗-HBs)较HBsAg/IgM和IgM抗-HBc消失早,将有利于急性HBV感染的诊断。27例CAH和29例CPH,IgM和IgG抗-(抗-HBs)阳性率约为38～52％,两型间无显著差异(p>0.5)。3例无症状HBsAg携带者和12例HBsAg血清疫苗接受者血清,抗-(抗-HBs)阴性。115例HBV感染者中,IgM抗-(抗-HBs)阳性者HBsAg阳性率(93.62)显著高于IgM抗-(抗-HBs)阴性者(52.31％),p<0.005;反之,HBsAg阳性血清IgM抗-(抗-HBs)阳性率(55.5S％)显著高于HBsAg阴性血清(9.68％),p<0.005;IgM抗-(抗-HBs)阳性和阴性血清的HBVDNA阳性率有显著差异(p<0.025),IgG反应到类似的结果。以上资料表明,抗-(抗-HBs)提示了一些HBV感染患者体内可能存在一种缺陷的反馈机制,导致抗-HBs产生不足而容许更活跃的HBV复制。本文证明了HBV感染患者血清中存在的抗-(抗-HBs)可能是共同决定簇“a”特异性的,还表明抗-HBs人抗-Id反应可能被纯化人血清HBsAg抑制,提示人抗-(抗-HBs)与抗-HBs结合的位点可能在HBsAg与抗-HBs结合位点内或在其附近,这和一些动物抗-(抗-HBs)的研究结果是一致的。     

新生儿接种10μg3针乙型肝炎血源疫苗5年内的免疫效果观察

1986～1958年,对广东3个城市1～5岁儿童乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)感染做横断面调查的基础上,给新生儿普种乙型肝炎血源疫苗。出生后24小时内接种1针,1、6个月接种第、3针,每针10μg,共接种1万余名。免疫后抽查HBsAg阳性母亲新生儿血380人份,HBsAg阴性母亲新生儿血1466人份。同时采集同期出生的未免疫的新生儿血116份作为内对照。以放射免疫法(RIA)检测HBV指在。结果,新生儿免疫后1～5年,标化抗-HBs阳转率为67.3％～79.1％。免疫后1～5年HBsAg阳性率与免前HBsAg阳性率比较,其保护率为65.8％～92.1％;与平行内对照的HBsAg阳性率比较,保护率为58.6％～88.1％。且发现HBsAg阳性母亲的新生儿,随免疫年限延长,HBsAg阳性率有降低趋向。

新婚夫妇HBV感染的研究

为了研究性因素在乙型肝炎传播中的意义,对1697对婚前登记的男女用RIA法检测血清HBV指征(HBsAg、抗-HBs、抗-HBc)。选出57对一方HBsAg和抗-HBc阳性,另一方为HBV易感者做为实验观察组,61对双方均为HBV易感者做为对照观察组。婚后27个月第二次抽血,双份血清用同一批RIA试剂检测HBV指征。结果,实验组HBV易感方HBsAg阳转率为14.04％,HBV感染率为52.63％;对照组HBsAg阳转率为1.64％,HBV感染率为16.03％。两组比较,相对危险性为:HBsAg RR=8.6,HBV RR=3.1,差异非常显著,P <0.01。     

婴儿围产期感染乙型肝炎病毒后各项血清学指标的动态变化

本文观察了102名新生儿出生后至18月龄的HBV血清学指标的动态变化,婴儿分成乙型肝炎疫苗按种组(63人)和对照组(39人), 观察期间HBsAg始终阴性的70名婴儿,出生后6、12和18月龄的抗-HBc阳性率依次为90％、30％和4.3％;而HBsAg阳转的27名婴儿,18月龄时抗-HBc全都阳性,但仅有6名婴儿在6月龄时测出IgM抗-HBc,疫苗接种组婴儿出生后1、3、6、12和18月龄的抗-HBs阳性率,依次为28.6％、76.2％、77。8％、82.5％和82.5％;对照组婴儿18月龄时抗-HBs阳性率仅为12.8％。     

四川省自贡市幼儿园3至5岁儿童乙型肝炎病毒感染情况及影响因素

为了解四川省自贡地区3～5岁幼儿乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)感染情况,并探索与感染有关的因素,1985年调查了1167名幼儿,其HBV总感染率为41.13％,HBsAg阳性率12.68％。幼儿的HBV感染与母亲HBsAg阳性密切相关。共检查母亲409例,38例HBsAg阳性,其幼儿HBsAg阳性率为50％(19/38),HBsAg阴性的母亲371例,其幼儿HBsAg阳性率9.97％(37/371),来自HBsAg阳性母亲的阳性子女占33.3％(19/56)。1986年随访HBV易感幼儿448例,HBV年感染率为12.95％(58/448),HBsAg年阳转率3.79％。HBV年感染率与原幼儿班级HBsAg阳性率的高低有关。     

输血后乙型肝炎的研究

对204例首次受血(1～2单位)的外科手术患者进行了随访,以观察输血后HBV的感染和发病。血源来自224例HBsAg阴性(RPHA法检测)的献血员,受血者于受血前及受血后6～7个月各采血1次,连同献血员献血前的血清,用同一批RIA试剂检测HBsAg、抗-HBs和抗-HBc。发现用RPHA筛选的HBsAg阴性献血员,用RIA检测时,仍有2.2％(5/224)HBsAg阳性。70例HBV易感者中,受血后13例发生HBV感染,其中2例输入HBsAg阳性血液者发生急性肝炎(2.86％),1例为黄疸型乙型肝炎,另一例为NANB肝炎;11例发生HBV感染,其中8例为输入HBV-DNA阳性血液。以上结果表明,RPHA筛选献血员仍不能杜绝输血后肝炎,RIA筛选献血员后不能杜绝亚临床感染。部分HBV感染不能排除医院内感染的可能性。     

四省观察点人群中血清乙型肝炎病毒表面抗原消长趋势调查

本文以前瞻性血清流行病学方法调查了人群中血清HBsAg消长趋势。观察了3 096名HBV易感者,其人年总感染率为7.0％;HBsAg人年阳转率为0.68％,两者之比为10.3:1.0。HBsAg阳转者中51.2％发生在0～3岁时期。调查了772例HBsAg携带者,其人年标化阴转率为2.01％,阴转者主要发生在10～29岁和50岁以上年龄组,占总阴转数的66.7％。以人群HBsAg阴转率加上因自然死亡而损失的HBsAg携带率和人群中HBsAg年增长率进行分析计算,得出HBsAg在观察点人群中的消长状况是呈上升趋势,即年增加率为0.370％,年减少率为0.264％。     

Asymptomatic hepatitis among the Asmat

An investigation for HAV and HBV markers of infection was carried out among the Asmat population of Irian Jaya (Indonesian New Guinea). 158 serum samples were examined: besides the HAV-IgC marker, total-HBV and HBsAg, anti-HBs, anti-HBc were investigated. 98.7% of total sample were found positive to HAV and 83.3% were positive to at least one HBV serum marker of infection. The results are analyzed according to sex, age and locality of residence. Males show a higher positivity to HBV, but the difference is not statistically significant. The highest infection rate is present in the young age group (11–20 years), this phenomenon being and index of high endemicity. In the subjects belonging to a missionary school community, positivity and prevalence of infection are high and equally distributed in both sexes, while in the village sample males show a higher infection rate. The tropical environment, the nutritional imbalances and the village hygienic conditions are considered responsible for the spread of HAV infection. Since HBV affects our population precociously, the family and especially the mother can be regarded as the first vehicle of infection transmission. Among the possible causes of HBV diffusion outside the family, the custom of ear and nose piercing as well as the use of recently introduced items are taken into account. Traditional and ritual heterosexual as well as homosexual behaviours are then considered among the possible causes of infection diffusion. Finally, the reasons why HAV and HBV affect the population under an asymptomatic or an unrecognised form are suggested.     

Epidemiologic features of hepatitis B virus infection in northern Labrador.

We studied the epidemiologic features of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in northern Labrador to determine the prevalence of the infection and to obtain a database to develop a vaccination strategy. The study population included seven communities in which five ethnic groups were represented: Inuit, Innu, mixed Inuit and European ancestry ("settler"), nonnative/nonsettler transient population ("white") and people of Innu-white or Innu-Inuit origin ("mixed"). Blood samples from 2156 people (62% of the area residents) were tested for antibody to HBV core antigen (anti-HBc), HBV surface antigen (HBsAg), HBV e antigen (HBeAg), anti-HBc IgM and antibody to the surface antigen (anti-HBs). The overall crude prevalence rate of HBV seromarkers was 14.7% and the HBsAg carrier rate at least 3.2%; the rates were highest for Inuit (26.4% and 6.9% respectively), followed by settler (10.0% and 1.9% respectively) and Innu (7.6% and 0.4% respectively); the white and mixed groups had the lowest overall rates (2.5% and 3.3% respectively). Although the overall prevalence rates were about the same for the two sexes, the HBsAg carrier rate was higher in males (male:female ratio 1.6:1.0). No HBV carriers were positive for HBeAg or anti-HBc IgM antibody. The rate of exposure to HBV was 4% for those below the age of 20 years and reached a peak for those aged 45 to 54 years (85% for Inuit, 40% for settlers and 37% for Innu). There was also a wide variation in the age-standardized prevalence rates (0% to 27.9%) among the ethnic groups in the seven communities surveyed.     

Seroprevalence of Hepatitis B virus infection among an Afro-descendant community in Brazil

Furnas dos Dionísios is an Afro-Brazilian black community whose descendants were mainly fugitive slaves that established themselves in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), Brazil. The population is comprised mainly of low socioeconomic individuals who are engaged in agricultural activities. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of hepatitis B (HB) and its correlation with epidemiological data obtained from the community. The studied population totaled 260 individuals with ages varying from 1 to 79 years (median 20). One hundred thirty-three (51.2%) were females and 127 (48.8%) were males. A high prevalence for anti-HBc was observed (42.7%), with present infection detected in 9.2% of the subjects who were also HB surface antigens (HBs Ag) positive; 27.3% were anti-HBc and anti-HBs reactive, and 6.2% had anti-HBc as only marker. The prevalence for anti-HBc was proportional to age, reaching its highest peak in age categories greater than 50. No serological marker was detected in children under the age of 2 years, however anti-HBc was present in 12 subjects with ages between 2 and 14 years, of these 8 (7.4%) were HBsAg positive. Among individuals over the age of 15 years, 99 were anti-HBc reactive, of these 16 (10.5%) were also HBsAg positive, thus suggesting an increased prevalence of HBV carriers among children and adolescents. The risk factors observed in this community that were significantly associated with anti-HBc positivity were age (over 20 years) and having an anti-HBc positive mother. Both HBeAg and anti-HBe were detected in 44.4% of the samples tested. HBsAg subtypes found in the studied population were adw2 (77.7%) and ayw2 (23.3%). While intrafamilial transmission was most likely responsible for HBV infection among children, other routes such as sexual contact might be considered for individuals with ages over 15 years.     

新生儿国产重组(酵母)乙型肝炎疫苗免疫效果考核

为了考核新生儿接种国产重组(酵母)乙型肝炎(乙肝)疫苗后的免疫效果,并与血源乙肝疫苗效果比较。对1997年出生并接种重组(酵母)乙肝疫苗的新生儿隔年随访一次,采血检测乙肝病毒表面抗原(HBsAg),乙肝病毒表面抗体(抗-HBs)和乙肝病毒核心抗体(抗-HBc),1998年以后对乙肝免疫人群开展急性乙肝发病监测。显示五年期间3次随访检测HBsAg阳性率平均为1.5%,较免前本底的HBsAg阳性率呈较大幅度下降,疫苗保护率为83%(95%可信区间为76.97%~89.02%),无论母亲HBsAg阳性或阴性,使用不同乙肝疫苗的儿童HBsAg阳性率没有统计学差异。接受重组(酵母)乙肝疫苗免疫的对象中,无一例急性乙肝病例报告。重组(酵母)乙肝疫苗有较好的近期保护效果和免疫原性,与以前使用血源乙肝疫苗效果相当。
