The aim of the present study was to re-establish a set of normative data for serum thymidine kinase 1 (STK1) for the Chinese population.
The study included 14,960 Chinese subjects (9586 males and 5374 females) from 20 to 79 years old. Subjects suffering from diseases that could affect STK1 levels were excluded. STK1 was measured by a sensitive chemiluminescence dot blot assay. The reference intervals were calculated using the LMS method.
Peak thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) serum levels were observed at 20 years of age for both genders. After the age of 20 years, serum TK1 levels decreased slowly from 0.51 to 0.36 pM, reaching a plateau to a mean of 0.35 pM in late adulthood. The mean pretreatment STK1 Z-scores in patients with solid malignant tumors obtained from related studies for cancers were 0.01 ± 0.99 (males, -0.07 ± 0.97; females, 0.09 ± 1.02).
The present study established age- and gender-specific normative STK1 data for the Chinese population and showed the utility of these references for screening patients with solid malignant tumors.
本研究旨在重新建立中国人群血清胸苷激酶1(STK1)的一组规范数据。
该研究纳入了14960名年龄在20至79岁之间的中国受试者(9586名男性和5374名女性)。排除患有可能影响STK1水平疾病的受试者。采用灵敏的化学发光斑点印迹法测定STK1。使用LMS方法计算参考区间。
男女两性的胸苷激酶1(TK1)血清水平在20岁时均观察到峰值。20岁以后,血清TK1水平从0.51缓慢下降至0.36 pM,在成年后期达到平均0.35 pM的平台期。从相关癌症研究中获得的实体恶性肿瘤患者的预处理前STK1 Z评分均值为0.01±0.99(男性,-0.07±0.97;女性,0.09±1.02)。
本研究建立了中国人群特定年龄和性别的STK1规范数据,并显示了这些参考数据在筛查实体恶性肿瘤患者中的效用。
