However, micronutrient deficiency is a major public health problem, particularly in developing countries. This study aimed to establish reference intervals (RIs) for vitamin E in black Congolese people of childbearing age using an ELISA method to provide a reference for clinically assessing vitamin E status. Methods: A total of 127 healthy people between the ages of 20 and 42 who underwent check-ups were randomly selected for the study. ELISA method measured the level of vitamin E. The effect of gender on vitamin E level was assessed, and RI was established using a parametric approach. Results: Women showed significantly higher levels of vitamin E than men (p = 0.01). The RI of vitamin E in people of childbearing age was 3.71 to 13.72, 4.52 to 14.64, and 4.17 to 13.52 mg/L, respectively, for the whole population, women and men. Conclusion: Using an ELISA method, this study established RI for vitamin E in the black Congolese population of childbearing age. We also found that women had significantly higher vitamin E levels than men. The results could provide a scientific basis for interpreting vitamin status in people of childbearing age in our setting.展开更多
目的 建立云南安宁地区高原老年人血细胞分析及血细胞分析衍生指标淋巴细胞/单核细胞比值(lymphocyte to monocyte ratio,LMR)、中性粒细胞/淋巴细胞比值(neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio,NLR)、血小板/淋巴细胞比值(platelet to lympho...目的 建立云南安宁地区高原老年人血细胞分析及血细胞分析衍生指标淋巴细胞/单核细胞比值(lymphocyte to monocyte ratio,LMR)、中性粒细胞/淋巴细胞比值(neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio,NLR)、血小板/淋巴细胞比值(platelet to lymphocyte ratio,PLR)参考区间,观察与多中心调查的差异,以确定建立该参考区间的必要性。方法 回顾性收集2022年6月至2022年9月安宁市第一人民医院信息系统中60岁以上体检人群分析结果。根据国际CLSI EP28-A3c指南中间接法建立安宁市健康老年人生物参考区间。结果 共纳入8 877例研究对象,红细胞计数(RBC)、血红蛋白(HGB)、红细胞压积(HCT)、平均红细胞血红蛋白浓度(MCHC)、血小板计数(PLT)、淋巴细胞百分数(LYM%)则随着年龄增大而减低,且男女之间差异具有统计学意义(P <0.05),仅红细胞体积分布宽带变异系数(RDWCV)随着年龄增加而升高。白细胞计数(WBC)、中性粒细胞绝对值(NEU#)、嗜酸性粒细胞绝对值(EOS#)、中性粒细胞百分数(NEU%)、嗜酸性粒细胞百分数(EOS%)、平均红细胞体积(MCV)、红细胞体积分布宽度标准差(RDWSD)、血小板体积分布宽度(PDW)仅在男女间差异具有统计学意义(P <0.05),其余项目则年龄和性别差异无统计学意义(P> 0.05)。NLR随年龄不断升高,且男性明显高于同年龄段女性。LMR、PLR均为女性高于男性。结论 自建参考区间内WBC、RBC、HGB、PLT、HCT等结果与多中心调查参考区间结果有较大差异。展开更多
