大鼠肝纤维化病理分期与肝纤维化血清标志物相关性研究

目的：研究肝纤维化病理组织学分期与血清纤维化标志物门冬氨酸氨基转移酶（AST）与血小板（PLT）比值指数（APRI）、透明质酸（HA）及基质金属蛋白酶抑制物（TIMP-1）的相关性,以探讨非创伤性检测血清蛋白和联合分析血清纤维化标志物的诊断价值。方法：将75只成年健康的SD大鼠采用改良式复合因素法构建大鼠肝纤维化模型,分别在5、6个周后,进行大鼠肝脏穿刺活检病理学组织检查,HE、Masson染色后进行病理组织学分期,同时检测大鼠血清门冬氨酸氨基转移酶（AST）与血小板（PLT）比值指数（APRI）、透明质酸（HA）及基质金属蛋白酶抑制物（TIMP-1）水平。结果：肝脏组织病理学检查发现肝纤维化的分期与炎症活动程度呈明显的正相关（P〈0.05）。而对于区分显著肝纤维化（≥S2）血清标志物指标诊断纤维化的ROC曲线分析发现,HA、TIMP-1、APRI曲线下面积分别为0.921、0.732、0.905。HA＋APRI联合诊断灵敏度为84.1%,特异度为91.2%。TIMP-1＋APRI联合诊断灵敏度为83.2%,特异度为91.7%。结论：利用检测血清纤维化标志物这种对患者无创的检测方法虽不能完全取代病理学活检,但预测肝纤维具有一定的诊断价值,当联合分析两种血清纤维化标志物时,灵敏度和特异度都比单独分析一种标志物要高。     

慢性肝炎血清学指标与肝组织病理的关系

病理诊断是各种临床及实验室诊断中的“金标准”。慢性肝炎时肝穿刺活组织病理检查对于判断肝脏损伤程度及指导治疗、评估预后有非常重要的意义,但因其有创性尚未普遍开展。目前有数种血清学标志物用于慢性肝炎时肝损伤的评估,部分学研究了其与肝脏病理的关系,希望找到能够较好地反映肝组织病理改变的无创性指标,近年来研究显示部分血清学指标在不同程度上准确反映了慢性肝炎时肝组织炎症活动程度和纤维化程度,虽然其中某些项目尚存争议。现将其中有代表性的指标作一综述,以便于参考这些血清学指标指导临床治疗。

Performance of Transient Elastography for the Staging of Liver Fibrosis in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis B: A Meta-Analysis

Background

Transient elastography (TE), a non-invasive tool that measures liver stiffness, has been evaluated in meta-analyses for effectiveness in assessing liver fibrosis in European populations with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). However, these data cannot be extrapolated to populations in Asian countries, where chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is more prevalent. In this study, we performed a meta-analysis to assess the overall performance of TE for assessing liver fibrosis in patients with CHB.

Methods

Studies from the literature and international conference abstracts which enrolled only patients with CHB or performed a subgroup analysis of such patients were enrolled. Combined effects were calculated using area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUROC) and diagnostic accuracy values of each study.

Result

A total of 18 studies comprising 2,772 patients were analyzed. The mean AUROCs for the diagnosis of significant fibrosis (F2), severe fibrosis (F3), and cirrhosis (F4) were 0.859 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.857–0.860), 0.887 (95% CI, 0.886–0.887), and 0.929 (95% CI, 0.928–0.929), respectively. The estimated cutoff for F2 was 7.9 (range, 6.1–11.8) kPa, with a sensitivity of 74.3% and specificity of 78.3%. For F3, the cutoff value was determined to be 8.8 (range, 8.1–9.7) kPa, with a sensitivity of 74.0% and specificity of 63.8%. The cutoff value for F4 was 11.7 (range, 7.3–17.5) kPa, with a sensitivity of 84.6% and specificity of 81.5%.

Conclusion

TE can be performed with good diagnostic accuracy for quantifying liver fibrosis in patients with CHB.

Liver Stiffness Measurement-Based Scoring System for Significant Inflammation Related to Chronic Hepatitis B

Objectives

Liver biopsy is indispensable because liver stiffness measurement alone cannot provide information on intrahepatic inflammation. However, the presence of fibrosis highly correlates with inflammation. We constructed a noninvasive model to determine significant inflammation in chronic hepatitis B patients by using liver stiffness measurement and serum markers.

Methods

The training set included chronic hepatitis B patients (n = 327), and the validation set included 106 patients; liver biopsies were performed, liver histology was scored, and serum markers were investigated. All patients underwent liver stiffness measurement.

Results

An inflammation activity scoring system for significant inflammation was constructed. In the training set, the area under the curve, sensitivity, and specificity of the fibrosis-based activity score were 0.964, 91.9%, and 90.8% in the HBeAg(+) patients and 0.978, 85.0%, and 94.0% in the HBeAg(−) patients, respectively. In the validation set, the area under the curve, sensitivity, and specificity of the fibrosis-based activity score were 0.971, 90.5%, and 92.5% in the HBeAg(+) patients and 0.977, 95.2%, and 95.8% in the HBeAg(−) patients. The liver stiffness measurement-based activity score was comparable to that of the fibrosis-based activity score in both HBeAg(+) and HBeAg(−) patients for recognizing significant inflammation (G ≥3).

Conclusions

Significant inflammation can be accurately predicted by this novel method. The liver stiffness measurement-based scoring system can be used without the aid of computers and provides a noninvasive alternative for the prediction of chronic hepatitis B-related significant inflammation.

Use of Non-Invasive Parameters of Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis and Liver Fibrosis in Daily Practice - An Exploratory Case-Control Study

Background

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the hepatic manifestation of a metabolic syndrome. To date, liver biopsy has been the gold standard used to differentiate between simple steatosis and steatohepatitis/fibrosis. Our aim was to compare the relevance of serum non-invasive parameters and scoring systems in the staging of liver fibrosis and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in patients with NAFLD.

Methods and Findings

A total of 112 consecutive patients diagnosed with NAFLD were included. A liver biopsy was performed on 56 patients. The Kleiner score was used for the staging and grading of the histology. Non-invasive parameters for fibrosis (hyaluronic acid; AST/ALT; fibrosis scoring indexes OELF, ELF, BARD score, APRI, NAFLD fibrosis score); and inflammation (M30 and M65 cytokeratin-18 fragments) were measured and calculated. The same analyses were performed in 56 patients diagnosed with NAFLD, who were not indicated for liver biopsy. Based on the liver histology, NASH was diagnosed in 38 patients; simple steatosis in 18 patients. A cut-off value of 750 U/L of serum M65 discriminated patients with and without NASH with a 80% sensitivity and 82% specificity (95% CI:57–95). Fibrosis stage F0–F2 was present in 39 patients; F3–F4 in 17 patients. Serum concentrations of hyaluronic acid were higher in patients with advanced fibrosis (p<0.01); a cut-off value of 25 µg/l discriminated patients with F3–F4 with a 90% sensitivity and 84% specificity from those with F0–F2 (95% CI:59–99). When applying the non-invasive criteria to those patients without a liver biopsy, NASH could only be diagnosed in 16%; however, advanced fibrosis could be diagnosed in 35% of them.

Conclusions

In patients with NAFLD, non-invasive serum parameters with a high accuracy can differentiate those patients with NASH and/or advanced fibrosis from those with simple steatosis. A substantial portion of those patients not indicated for liver biopsy might have undiagnosed advanced fibrosis.     

Comprehensive Comparison of Multiple-Detector Computed Tomography and Dynamic Magnetic Resonance Imaging in the Diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma with Varying Degrees of Fibrosis

Methods841 patients with liver tumor who had liver CT or dynamic MRI examinations followed by surgical resection were included in the study. We defined typical HCC imaging characteristics as early enhancement in the artery phase and early washout in the venous phase. The tumor size was recorded based on pathological examination after surgery. The pathologic fibrosis score was verified by the METAVIR scoring classification.ResultsAmong the 841 patients, 756 underwent liver CT and 204 underwent dynamic liver MRI before surgery. The etiologies of chronic liver disease included hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, hepatitis B and C virus, and non-hepatitis B or C virus. The sensitivity and accuracy of liver CT or MRI for HCC diagnosis was approximately 80%~90%. Liver CT had a diagnostic accuracy for HCC similar to that of dynamic MRI, and liver fibrosis stage did not influence their diagnostic efficacies.ConclusionsThe application of 4-phase dynamic CT and MRI exhibit similar diagnostic accuracy for hepatocellular carcinoma, in tumors of sizes 1 to 2 cm and >2 cm. Liver fibrosis status did not affect the diagnostic accuracy of liver CT or MRI for HCC. The AASLD and EASL restrictions of dynamic imaging studies for HCC diagnosis to cirrhotic patients alone are unnecessary.
