摘要

摘要: 目的评价S(Shengxiang)公司、X(Xinbo)公司两种实时荧光定量聚合酶链式反应(real-time PCR)方法定量检测HBV RNA结果的一致性。方法从2007年7月—2008年8月组建的108例慢性乙型肝炎(CHB)前瞻性随访患者队列中，选取HBeAg血清学转换患者20例进行1∶ 1倾向性评分匹配未转换患者20例，采用S公司和X公司两种real-time PCR定量检测方法，回顾性检测基线、12周、24周及48周血清样本HBV RNA。符合正态分布的计量资料组间比较采用配对t检验；不符合正态分布的计量资料组间比较采用Mann-Whitney U检验。计数资料采用χ²检验。通过Pearson相关系数、组内相关系数(ICC)和Bland-Altman法评价检测结果的一致性。结果 S试剂检测132份血清样本，X试剂检测154份血清样本，两种试剂对送检样本中HBV RNA检出率均为100%。两种试剂共同检测血清样本131份，在基线、随访12周、24周及48周分别检测34、29、35及33份血清，X试剂检测HBV RNA定量数据分别为(5.75±1.64、5.43±1.73、5.13±1.54、4.76±1.55)log₁₀拷贝/mL，均高于S试剂(4.80±1.48、4.52±1.53、4.10±1.50、3.92±1.43)log₁₀拷贝/mL，差异均有统计学意义(t=8.348、t=5.341、Z=-5.086、Z=-4.762, P值均＜0.001)。两种方法相关性分析中，r及ICC值分别为0.915(95%CI：0.836~0.957)与0.771(95%CI：-0.021~0.931)、0.849(95%CI：0.701~0.927)与0.733(95%CI：0.138~0.902)、0.951(95%CI：0.905~0.975)与0.776(95%CI：-0.058~0.942)、0.933(95%CI：0.867~0.967)与0.804(95%CI：-0.014~0.944) (P值均＜0.05)。Bland-Altman分析表明，两种方法检测结果中96.18%(126/131)的样本差异位于平均差±1.96标准差之间。结论 X试剂的HBV RNA定量结果高于S试剂定量结果，但两种real-time PCR定量检测HBeAg血清学转换和未转换CHB患者HBV RNA结果的一致性良好。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the consistency between Shengxiang (S) and Xinbo (X) real-time PCR methods in the quantification of HBV RNA. Methods In the prospective follow-up cohort of 108 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients established from July 2007 to August 2008, 20 patients with HBeAg seroconversion were selected, and 20 patients without seroconversion were selected by propensity score matching at a ratio of 1∶ 1. The two quantification methods from S and X companies were used, and a retrospective analysis was performed for HBV RNA in serum samples at baseline and weeks 12, 24, and 48. The paired t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between groups, and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between groups; the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data. The Pearson correlation coefficient, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), and the Bland-Altman method were used to evaluate the consistency of the two quantification methods. Results A total of 132 serum samples were tested by S reagent, and 154 were tested by X reagent; the detection rate of HBV RNA was 100% by both reagents. A total of 131 serum samples were tested by both reagents, with 34 samples at baseline and 29, 35, and 33 samples, respectively, at weeks 12, 24, and 48 of follow-up; at these four time points, the HBV RNA quantification data detected by X reagent were significantly higher than those detected by S reagent (5.75±1.64/5.43±1.73/5.13±1.54/4.76±1.55 log₁₀ copies/mL vs 4.80±1.48/4.52±1.53/4.10±1.50/3.92± 1.43 log₁₀ copies/mL, t=8.348, t=5.341, Z=-5.086, Z=-4.762, all P < 0.001). The correlation analysis of the two methods showed a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.915 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.836-0.957) and an ICC of 0.771(95%CI: -0.021 to 0.931) at baseline, a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.849(95%CI: 0.701-0.927) and an ICC of 0.733(95%CI: 0.138-0.902) at week 12, a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.951(95%CI: 0.905-0.975) and an ICC of 0.776(95%CI: -0.058 to 0.942) at week 24, and a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.933(95%CI: 0.867-0.967) and an ICC of 0.804(95%CI: -0.014 to 0.944) at week 48 (all P < 0.05). The Bland-Altman analysis showed that the difference of 96.18%(126/131) samples tested by the two methods was within the mean difference±1.96 standard deviation. Conclusion HBV RNA quantification by X reagent is higher than that by S reagent, while the two real-time PCR quantification methods show a good consistency in CHB patients with HBeAg seroconversion and those without seroconversion.
