目的探讨聚乙二醇干扰素a2a治疗慢性乙型肝炎(CHB)患者血清干扰素浓度和干扰素抗体水平的变化,以及其对疗效的影响。方法41例CHB患者皮下注射聚乙二醇干扰素a2a(派罗欣,罗氏公司)180μg,每周1次,在0、4、12、24和48周时用ELISA法检测干扰素浓度和干扰素抗体水平,并在停药后24周检测干扰素浓度。结果干扰素浓度在0、4、12、24、48周和停药24周时分别为22.9(3.1-45.8)pg/mL、2734(9.2-4224)pg/mL、4025(269-4462)pg/mL、3884(14.5-4567)pg/mL、3978(76.9-5227)pg/mL和62.1(52.3-74.6)pg/mL。干扰素浓度在4、12、24、48周和停药24周与0周相比,差异有统计学意义(t=9.481,P〈0.01;Z=-6.862,P〈0.01;Z=-6.969,P〈0.01;Z=-6.477,P〈0.01;Z=-4.204,P〈0.01);12、24与4周相比,差异有统计学意义(Z=-4.316,P%0.01;Z=-3.830,P=0.0001);24周与12周相比,差异无统计学意义(Z=0.367,P=0.7136)。干扰素抗体水平在4、12、24、48与0周相比,差异无统计学意义(Z=1.035,P=0.3007;Z=0.101,P=0.9192;Z=0.158,P=0.8748;Z=1.779,P=0.0752)。结论聚乙二醇干扰素α2a治疗过程中,患者血清干扰素浓度在12周达到稳定浓度,停药24周血清干扰素浓度仍略高于治疗前,而干扰素抗体浓度变化不大,二者无明显相关性。
Objective To detect serum interferon concentration and interferon antibody levels in chronic hepatitis B patients treated with pegylated interferon and its role in interferon efficacy. Methods Forty-one chronic hepatitis B patients were treated with pegylated interferon a-2a at a dose of 180μg/week. Levels of serum interferon concentration and interfer- on antibody levels were detected by ELISA at weeks 0, 4, 12, 24 and 48, and the levels of serum interferon concentration were detected at 24 weeks off-treatment. Results The levels of serum interferon concentrations were 22. 9(3.1-45.8)pg/mL, 2 734(9.2-4 224)pg/mL, 4 025(269-4 462)pg/mL, 3 884(14.5-4 567)pg/mL, 3 978(76.9-5 227)pg/mL and 62.1 (52.3 74.6)pg/mL at weeks 0, 4, 12, 24, 48 and at 24 weeks off-treatment, respectively. Compared to the level of interferon concentration at week 0, there was statistically significant difference at weeks 4, 12, 24, 48 and at 24 weeks off-treatment (t=9.481, P〈0.01; Z=-6. 862, P〈0.01; Z=-6. 969, P〈0.01; Z=-6.477, P〈0.01; Z=-4. 204, P〈0.01). Compared to interferon concentration at week 4, there was statistically significant difference of the level at weeks 12 and 24 (Z=-4.316, P〈0.01; Z=-3.830, P=0.000 1). Compared to serum interferon concentration at week 12, there was no statistically significant difference at week 24(Z = 0. 367, P = 0. 713 6). Compared to serum level of IFN antibody at week 0, there was no statistically significant difference at weeks 4, 12, 24 and 48(Z =-1. 035, P = 0. 300 7; Z = 0. 101, P = 0. 919 23 Z= 0. 158, P = 0. 874 8; Z = 1. 779, P = 0. 075 2). Conclusion The level of serum interferon concentration reached a steady concentration at week 12 with pegylated interferon α-2a therapy, and was still a little higher at 24 weeks off-treatment than that at week 0. The level of interferon antibody was not significantly changed at each time point, and it had no correlation with the level of interferon concentration.
