Abstract:

Objective To investigate the reference intervals of serum pepsinogen(PG) Ⅰ,PG Ⅱ and gastrin-17(G-17) levels among healthy population in some areas of Shanghai.Methods Serum PGⅠ,PGⅡ and G-17 levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) in 1 235 healthy subjects,and PGⅠ/PGⅡ ratio was calculated. Results In 1 235 healthy subjects,the levels of PGⅠ,PGⅡ and PGⅠ/PGⅡ ratio showed a skewed distribution,and the reference intervals were established by percentile method. The levels of G-17 showed a normal distribution,and the reference intervals were established by x±1.96s. Males had lower serum PGⅠ and PGⅡ levels than females(P<0.05),and there was statistical significance for different ages(P<0.05). It was necessary to establish age-specific and sex-specific reference intervals. There was no statistical significance for serum PGⅠ/PGⅡ ratio between males and females(P>0.05),and there was statistical significance for different ages(≥4.79 for 18-44 years old,≥5.40 for 45-59 years old and ≥4.35 for ≥60 years old). For serum G-17 levels,there was no statistical significance for different ages and sex(P>0.05),and the uniform reference intervals could be established(2.22-6.26 pmol/L). The reference intervals of PGⅠ were 57.31-159.42 μg/L for males and 60.07-169.68 μg/L for females at the age of 18-44,57.96-158.33 μg/L for males and 64.84-183.50 μg/L for females at the age of 45-59 and 65.28-200.04 μg/L for males and 67.15-188.35 μg/L for females at the age of ≥60. The reference intervals of PGⅡ were ≤12.59 μg/L for males and ≤20.72 μg/L for females at the age of 18-44,≤20.85 μg/L for males and ≤25.33 μg/L for females at the age fo 45-59 and ≤23.10 μg/L for males and ≤27.22 μg/L for females at the age of ≥60. Conclusions The reference intervals of serum PGⅠ,PGⅡ and G-17 levels and PGⅠ/PGⅡ ratio are established for healthy population in some areas of Shanghai.
