Abstract:

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 [25(OH)D3] levels and the efficacy of antiviral therapy and liver inflammatory stage in patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB). Methods Totally,120 patients with CHB were enrolled and classified into auxiliary group(65 cases) and conventional group(55 cases). They were classified into stage G1 group(12 cases),stage G2 group(54 cases),stage G3 group(39 cases) and stage G4 group(15 cases) according to the Scheuer scores of liver inflammatory stages. Pearson or Spearman correlation analysis was used to assess the correlation between the indicators. Results The differences in the rates of hepatitis B virus(HBV) DNA and hepatitis B e antigen(HBeAg) conversion between conventional and auxiliary groups at 12 weeks of treatment had no statistical significance(P>0.05),and the differences in the rates of HBV DNA and HBeAg conversion at 24 weeks of treatment were statistically significant(P<0.05). The difference in serum 25(OH)D3 levels between auxiliary and conventional groups before treatment was not statistically significant(P>0.05). After 24 weeks of treatment,serum 25(OH)D3 levels in the 2 groups were higher than those before treatment(P<0.01),and those of auxiliary group were higher than those in conventional group(P<0.001). Serum interferon-gamma(INF-γ),interleukin-6(IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-α) levels were increased with the increasing liver inflammatory stages in CHB patients(P<0.05),and serum 25(OH)D3 levels were decreased with the increasing liver inflammatory stages(P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that 25(OH)D3 was negatively correlated with liver inflammatory stage(r=-0.715,P<0.001). Pearson correlation analysis showed that 25(OH)D3 was negatively correlated with IL-6 and TNF-α(r=-0.262 and -0.216,P<0.05) and had no correlation with INF-γ(r=-0.053,P>0.05). Conclusions Serum 25(OH)D3 levels in CHB patients are related with liver inflammatory stage and antiviral therapy efficacy.
