Abstract: Objective The aim of this study was to investigate gastric mucosal lesions in patients with hepatitis B and hepatitis B-induced liver cirrhosis. Methods 70 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), 56 patients with liver cirrhosis and 50 healthy persons were enrolled in our hospital between January 2017 and January 2019, and all underwent gastroscopy. Serum PGI and PGII levels were detected by ELISA, and peripheral blood CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+ cells were detected by FCM. Results Serum PGI level in patients with hepatitis B-induced liver cirrhosis was(93.8±28.3)μg/L, significantly lower than [(135.7±21.6)μg/L, P<0.05] in healthy persons or [(116.3±32.4)μg/L, P<0.05] in patients with CHB, serum PGII level was (13.3±5.7)μg/L, significantly higher than [(9.2±2.4)μg/L, P<0.05] in healthy persons, and the ratio of serum PGI/PGII was (7.1±2.3), significantly lower than [(14.8±3.4), P<0.05] in healthy persons or [(9.6±2.9), P<0.05] in patients with CHB; the prevalences of chronic superficial gastritis in healthy persons, in patients with CHB and in patients with cirrhosis were 68.0%, 32.9% and 19.6%(P<0.05), and the incidences of mild, moderate and severe chronic atrophic gastritis in patients with cirrhosis were 37.5%, 25.0% and 17.9%, significantly different compared to 8.0%, 6.0% and 2.0% (P<0.05) in healthy persons or 37.1%, 11.4% and 5.7% (P<0.05) in patients with CHB; the percentage of peripheral blood CD3+ cells in patients with cirrhosis was (62.4±7.9)%, significantly lower than [(68.3±5.8)%, P<0.05] in healthy persons or [(66.4±7.4)%, P<0.05] in patients with cirrhosis, the percentage of CD4+ cells was (35.7±7.4)%, significantly lower than [(50.3±6.6)%, P<0.05] in healthy persons or [(45.4±6.4)%, P<0.05] in patients with CHB, while the percentage of CD8+ cells was (34.4±4.7)%, significantly higher than [(27.2±4.3), P<0.05] and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ cells was (1.8±0.3), significantly lower than [(2.8±0.9), P<0.05] in healthy persons. Conclusion The chronic atrophic gastritis in patients with hepatitis B cirrhosis is common, serum PGI and PGII levels change obviously, and the mechanism involved needs further investigation.
