Abstract: Time resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TRFIA) was used to detect the serum level of pepsinogen (PG).And the 13C urea breath test (13C-UBT) was employed to detect the Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection rate for 1060 subjects of health check-up.Statistics showed that the serum PGⅠ level of males was significantly higher than that of females.And the ratio of females with PG Ⅰ ＜ 60 μg/L and PG Ⅰ ＜ 60 μg/L + PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ ＜ 6 was significantly higher than that of males.The PG Ⅱ level increased with age while PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ decreased.The PG Ⅰ level rose gradually until age of 60 and then maintained at a high level.For the HP-positive group,the serum levels PG Ⅰ and PG Ⅱ were significantly higher than those of the HP-negative group.And the PG Ⅰ/PG Ⅱ ratio was significantly lower than that of the HP-negative group.
