Application and evaluation of flow fluorescence assay in detection of serum pepsinogen Ⅰ and Ⅱ / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the clinical application value of flow fluorescence assay in determination of serum pepsinogenⅠ and Ⅱ.Methods The precision of flow fluorescence assay in the detection of serum pepsinogen Ⅰ and Ⅱ were evaluated. Methodology comparison were conducted between flow fluorescence assay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)kit through detecting clinical samples.The reference ranges for PGⅠ and PGⅡ/PGⅠ ratio of healthy population were established. The levels of PGⅠand PGⅡ/PGⅠ ratio were detected in serum samples of patients suffering superficial gastritis,atrophic gastritis and gastric cancer.Results The within-run and between-run coefficient of variation of PGⅠ were 4.26%-5.35% and 6.73%-7.75%,respectively.And those of PGⅡ were 5.48% - 6.42% and 8.46% -8.85%,respectively.Methodology comparison be-tween flow fluorescence assay and ELISA demonstrated good linear correlations.The linear equation wasY =0.91 1X -22.635(r=0.966,P <0.05)and Y =0.892X -0.548(r=0.980,P <0.05)for PGⅠ and PGⅡ,respectively.The lower limit of the reference range of PGⅠ and PGⅡ/PGⅠ ratio were 32.77 ng/mL and 4.1 6,respectively.The PGⅠ and PGⅠ /PGⅡ ratio of patients suf-fering atrophic gastritis and gastric cancer were statistically significantly lower than those in patients suffering superficial gastritis (P <0.05).Conclusion The flow fluorescence assay could conduct simultaneous detection of PGⅠ and PGⅡwith good methodo-logical performance and high efficiency.The determination of PGⅠ and PGⅡlevels through flow fluorescence assay could provide laboratory basis for the screening and diagnosis of atrophic gastritis and early gastric cancer.
