Response to reviewer 1:
1. Response to comment:The paper was written in unsatisfactory English.
Response: We are ashamed for our unsatisfactory English and thank you very much for your cautious correction. We spent a lot of time, after we received your email, working through the paper and made some small changes marked in red in the paper to improve the English expression.Because the minor modifications are so many that we do not enumerate them.
2. Response to comment:The paper submitted has the drawback of excluding healthy female subjects from evaluation.
Response: Our data was derived from the Fangchenggang Area Male Healthy and Examination Survey (FAMHES) which was designed to investigate the effects of environmental and genetic factors and their interaction on the development of age-related chronic disease. But female subjects were not investigated in the project. It's a pity that our reference interval study is lack of female subjects. However, the lack of female gender investigation, as the reviewer said, is partially compensated by the fact that other authors of large and recent studies have not found a gender-related difference for AFP and CEA.
3. Response to comment:Beneath other factors the difference in ethnic samples and determination methods as discussed by the authors may be a main reason.
Response: The reference interval study was performed in accordance with standard operating procedures and the operational errors should be minor. Therefore the discrepancy in the results of reference interval studies is mainly due to the differences in subjects and diversities of measurements.
4. Response to comment:Therefore it would have been helpful, if the authors had investigated this question by log-transformation of the AFP and CEA values and testing for normality by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov-test.
Response: After log-transformation, the results of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov-test showed thatthe distribution of AFP and CEA, as you have said, conformed to a Gaussian distribution with Z=1.138 (P=0.150) and Z=0.901 (P=0.391), respectively. The parametric reference intervalswere then calculated. The content about this topic has been added in line 8, page 2, line 16, page 6, line 3, page 7 and line 3, page 9. The table II and III have also been edited. Moreover, histogram of log-AFP and log-CEA values has been added to figure 1.
5. Response to comment:Table I-III: the abbreviations of M (mean?, median?), R (range?), Q(?)R and RI should be indicated in the heading of tables.
Response: We are sorry for forgetting to interpret the abbreviations of M, R, QR and RI in the heading of tables and this oversight has been corrected.
