ObjectiveTo establish pediatric serum CysC reference intervals based on the children's hospital laboratory data in Zhejiang Province and analyse the effects of CysClevels on age and gender. MethodsCysC was one of tests of a routine biochemical screening panel employed for most outpatients and inpatients in the children's hospital, and 8 127 subjects (4 264 boys and 3 863 girls) were selected from 13 567 subjects from laboratory information system according to the exclusion criterion with seriously systemic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases, elevated values of creatinine, urea or ALT for which 1.5-fold upper limit, serum samples with hemolysis, icterus or lipid turbidity, same patients with non-first-time CysC results and living addresses which were not in Zhejiang. The serum CysC was determined by transmission turbidimetry on Roche DPP modular automatic biochemical analyzer. SPSS 17.0 software and EXCEL 2003 were employed for statistical analysis in this study. Results The serum CysC concentration was a Gaussian distribution after log transformation. The mean Log-transformated CysC lg (CysC) concentration of boys in five age groups ( < 1 month, 1 to 3 months, 4 to 11 months, 1 to 2 years and 2 to 16 years) were 0. 224,0. 170,0. 112,0. 061, -0. 011 (mg/L,lg) respectively, and the mean Log-transformated CysC lg(CysC) concentration of girls in five age groups were 0. 222, 0. 164, 0. 089, 0. 057,-0. 010 ( mmg/L, lg) respectively, and no statistically significant differences between Ig( CysC ) and gender in five age groups were found ( t values were 0. 174, 0. 362, 0. 445,- 1. 464 and - 0. 093, respectively,and corresponding P values all were greater than 0. 05 ). The mean lg ( CysC ) concentrations in five age groups were 0. 222,0. 166,0. 100,0. 059, - 0. 010 ( mmg/L, lg), and significant differences between Lg ( CysC ) and ages by Analysis of Variance were observed ( F = 309. 785 and P = 0 in between-groups totally,P = 0 in any two groups). Serum CysC levels were highest in the age of < 1 month, then declined to the age of 2 years and kept stable in the age of 2 to 16 years. The serum CysC reference intervals for children were as follows:0. 95 -2. 92 mg/L in the age of < 1 month, 0. 81 -2.67 mg/L in the age of 1 to 3 months, 0. 65 -2.45 mg/L in the age of 4 tol2 months, 0. 56 -2. 35 mg/L in the age of 1 year and 0. 45 -2. 13 mg/L in the age of 2 to 16 years. ConclusionsThere is no significant effect on pediatric CysC levels with gender but close correlated with age below 2 years old. It is necessary to establish appropriate age-related reference intervals of serum CysC for efficiently evaluating renal function in local children.

Objective:To explore the clinical features of acute pancreatitis in pregnancy (APIP) and the risk factors for fetal death.Methods:The clinical data of 90 patients with APIP in the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University were retrospectively analyzed from January 2013 to June 2020. Based on the severity, the patients were classified into MAP groups ( n=41), MSAP groups ( n=33), SAP group ( n=16). According to the presence of fetal deaths, the patients were divided into fetal death group ( n=13) and fetal survival group ( n=77). The clinical characteristics and indicators of patients in each group were compared. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed on the variables with differences between groups to explore independent risk factors for fetal death. The receiver operating characteristic curves of laboratory indicators were drawn to evaluate their diagnostic efficacy. Results:Hyperlipidemia was the main cause in 90 APIP cases (42/90, 46.7%). The levels of LDH, CRP, blood glucose, D2 polymer, albumin and ApoA1, the 1-min and 5-min Apgar scores of neonates were statistically significant among MAP group, MSAP group and SAP group (all P<0.05). There were no maternal deaths in 90 cases and 13 fetal deaths (14.4%). Fetal mortality increased with the severity of APIP. APIP combined with hypertension ( OR=14.742, 95% CI 1.157-187.890, P=0.038), ketoacidosis ( OR=19.587, 95% CI 1.789-214.469, P=0.015) and CRP level ( OR=1.013, 95% CI 1.001-1.025, P=0.031) were risk factors for fetal death. ApoA1 level ( OR=0.118, 95% CI 0.021-0.664, P=0.015) was a protective factor for fetal death. The sensitivity and specificity of ApoA1 for predicting fetal death were 84.6% and 79.2%, the sensitivity and specificity of CRP for predicting fetal death were 76.9% and 84.4%, and the sensitivity and specificity of the combination of the two indicators for predicting fetal death were 100% and 67.5%. Conclusions:The severity of APIP was closely related to fetal death. Hypertension, ketoacidosis and blood level CRP were independent risk factors for fetal death, which should be paid special attention.
