Abstract:
Objective To investigate the serum levels of biochemical indexes such as calcium,phosphorus,iron,zinc,and alkaline phosphatase of children in Kaschin-Beck disease areas and control areas in Qinghai Province.Methods According to the results of Kaschin-Beck disease monitoring in Qinghai Province,Tangnaihai Township of Xinghai County and Gandu Town of Hualong County were chosen as Kaschin-Beck disease areas and Qushian Township of Xinghai Country was chosen as a control.Children aged 7 to 15 in boarding schools in these areas were chosen as the study subjects in June 2014.Serum alkaline phosphatase level was determined by enzyme colorimetry and the serum iron,zinc,calcium and phosphorus levels were determined by colorimetry.Calcium to phosphate ratio was calculated at the same time.Results Fifty-nine qualified serum samples of children were sampled in Kaschin-Beck disease areas and 45 in control area.Serum alkaline phosphatase levels in Kaschin-Beck disease areas and control area were (311.34 ± 85.31) and (264.09 ± 73.44)U/L,respectively,and the difference was statistically significant (t =-2.97,P ＜ 0.05).Children's serum phosphorus levels in Kaschin-Beck disease areas and control area were (1.62 ± 0.17) and (1.43 ± 0.13)mmol/L,respectively,and the difference was statistically significant (t =-6.29,P ＜ 0.05).Calcium to phosphorus ratio were 1.62 ± 0.17 and 1.82 ± 0.21,respectively,and the difference was statistically significant (t =5.53,P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the control area,the level of children's serum zinc was (19.96 ± 1.70) and (20.59 ± 2.45)μmol/L;the level of serum calcium was (2.59 ± 0.11) and (2.57 ± 0.11)mmol/L;and the level of serum iron was (15.06 ± 7.02) and (17.01 ± 6.70)μmol/L.The differences between these three biochemical indicators were not statistically significant between Kaschin-Beck disease areas and control area (t =1.39,-0.64,1.44,all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion In Kaschin-Beck disease areas in Qinghai Province,the level of children's serum alkaline phosphatase and phosphorus have increased markedly and the calcium to phosphate ratio has decreased obviously.
