Abstract Ultramicro procedures requiring 5-10 µl of serum or blood per analysis were used in determining blood constituents of healthy full-term newborns during the first four days of life. The resulting values appeared to be influenced by age, sex, and race. Values for total protein, albumin, urea nitrogen, and uric acid in serum decreased with time; serum inorganic phosphorus and whole-blood aldosaccharoses increased. Serum from females had higher values than that from males for total proteins, albumin, and inorganic phosphorus. The values for serum calcium and alkaline phosphatase were consistently higher in Negro than in white infants; values for uric acid were higher in the latter.

Abstract In the RA-1000, a random-access discrete analyzer, an inert fluorocarbon fluid is used to prevent interaction and carryover. Production-model instruments were evaluated in two laboratories with respect to determination of glucose, creatinine, total protein, inorganic phosphorus, cholesterol, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, gamma-glutamyltransferase, and aspartate and alanine aminotransferases. Within-run, among-run, and day-to-day (for 15 days) precision was assessed, and results were correlated with those obtained by the methods routinely in use in our departments. Precision was excellent, correlation acceptable.

Abstract We studied the effects on 25 analytes of duration of contact of serum with non-anticoagulated blood and of temperature. Serum was separated after blood was allowed to stand, for 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 24, or 48 h at 4, 23, or 30 degrees C. Results obtained for bilirubin, albumin, zinc sulfate turbidity, thymol turbidity, cholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.8), alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1), leucine aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.1), amylase (EC 3.2.1.2), total cholesterol, triglycerides, beta-lipoprotein, serum urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid, and gamma-glutamyltransferase (EC 2.3.2.2) were not influenced by storage at 4, 24, or 30 degrees C for as long as 48 h. Negligible differences were seen for potassium in sera in contact with cells as long as 24 h at 23 degrees C and for inorganic phosphorus after 48 h at 4 degrees C. However, at 4 degrees C we noted an increase at 8 h, a slight decrease at 30 degrees C. Statistically significant changes were seen for total protein and calcium after 48 h at 30 degrees C; for aspartate aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.1), and alanine aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.2), between 8 and 24 h at 23 degrees C and as soon as 6 h at 30 degrees C; for lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) after 8 h at 30 degrees C and between 8 and 24 h at 23 degrees C; for glucose at 24, 4, or 2 h of storage at 4, 23, or 30 degrees C, respectively; for inorganic phosphorus after 48 h at 23 degrees C or 8 h at 30 degrees C; for potassium after 4 h at 4 degrees C or 24 h at 30 degrees C; and for sodium after 48 h at 4 degrees C or 6 h at 23 or 30 degrees C.

Abstract We investigated the in vivo effects of acetylsalicylic acid, diclofenac, indomethacin, ibuprofen, and ketoprofen on the concentrations of various blood constituents. Total protein, glucose, calcium, and inorganic phosphate were not significantly affected by any of these drugs. Ketoprofen had no definite influence on any constituent. Acetylsalicylic acid induced an increase in cholesterol, triglyceride, and iron; albumin, uric acid, and creatinine decreased with ibuprofen therapy. Urea nitrogen increased in patients treated with diclofenac or indomethacin. Our protocol for the study of in vivo drug effects is discussed.

ABSTRACT: In face of the few reports found in national literature analyzing the potential influence of parturition number in serum proteinogram and biochemical profile in the peripartum period of high yielding dairy cows, the aim of the present study was to comparatively evaluate the dynamics of these serum constituents’ concentrations in blood samples obtained from primiparous and multiparous Holstein cows, 60 and 30 days prepartum and in the day of parturition. Data were analyzed by repeated measures variance analysis (ANOVA) and differences between groups and moments were analyzed by Tukey’s test. Results were considered significant when P<0.05. Parity influenced levels of total protein, albumin, globulins, magnesium, cholesterol, which were higher in multiparous cows, as well as concentrations of ceruloplasmin, total calcium, chloride and alkaline phosphatase activity, which were higher in primiparous cows. Parturition influenced serum concentrations of ceruloplasmin (+58%), transferrin (-25%), haptoglobin (+33%), total protein (-17%), globulins (-25%), immunoglobulin A (-43%), immunoglobulin G (-24%), total calcium (-12%), inorganic phosphorus (-10%), chloride (+5%), sodium (+4%), cholesterol (-23%), triglycerides (-38.6%), as well as activities of aspartate aminotransferase (+14%) and alkaline phosphatase (+28%). A decrease in serum levels of total calcium, inorganic phosphorus, cholesterol and triglycerides was more pronounced in multiparous than in primiparous cows. These results demonstrate that the interpretation of proteinogram and serum constituents should take into consideration lactation number and the moment of parturition as relevant factors in high yielding dairy cows in the transition period.

This study assesses the potential for using mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectroscopy of dried serum films as the basis for the simultaneous quantitation of eight serum analytes: Total protein, albumin, triglycerides, cholesterol, glucose, urea, creatinine and uric acid. Infrared transmission spectra were acquired for 300 serum samples, each analysed independently using accepted reference clinical chemical methods. Quantitation methods were based upon the infrared spectra and reference analyses for 200 specimens, and the models validated using the remaining 100 samples. Standard errors in the IR-predicted analyte levels (Sy/x) were 2.8 g/L (total protein), 2.2 g/L (albumin), 0.23 mmol/L (triglycerides), 0.28 mmol/L (cholesterol), 0.41 mmol/L (glucose) and 1.1 mmol/L for urea, with correlation coefficients (IR vs reference analyses) of 0.95 or better. The IR method emerged to be less suited for creatinine (S y/ x = μmol/L) and uric acid (S y/x = 140 μmol/L) due to the relatively low concentrations typical of these analytes.

The functional state of liver in 112 term newborns, who depending on their antenatal ontogenesis were divided into 4 groups, was studied. The first group (control) was made of 30 healthy newborns from mothers with physiological course of pregnancy; the second group consisted of 30 children whose mothers suffered influenza A(H3N2) (antibody titers were 1:4-1:16), the third group had 27 newborns with antenatal anamnesis complicated with influenza A(H3N2) (antibody titers were 1:8-1:32) and the fourth group had 25 children whose mothers suffered A(H3N2) (antibody titers were 1:32-1:128) at early stages of gestation. In newborns in the serum of the umbilical blood there were found the contents of total protein, albumins, total, indirect and direct bilirubin, activity of alanine aminotransferase, serum glutamate-oxaloacetate-transaminase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, lactic dehydrogenase and alkaline phosphatase, concentration of total cholesterol, lipoproteins of low density and triglycerides. In babies from mothers who suffered influenza infection with antibody titers 1:32-1:128 there was the decrease of total protein till 55.1±1.27 g/l (in the control group it was 62.1±1.45 g/l; р&#60;0.01) and albumins till 34.2±1.01 g/l (in the control it was 38.2±1.13 g/l; р&#60;0.05) against the increase of total bilirubin till 35.5±1.29 mcmole/l (in the control it was 25.3±1.67 g/l; р&#60;0.001), of indirect bilirubin till 33.2±1.28 mcmole/l (in the control it was 23.4±1.67 mcmole/l; р&#60;0.001), of direct bilirubin till 2.33±0.10 mcmole/l (in the control it was 1.91±0.09; р&#60;0.01) and the activity of alkaline phosphatase till 175.7±10.62 МЕ/l (in the control it was 141.6±6.39 МЕ/l; р&#60;0.01). This showed the suppression of protein-synthesizing and pigment function of the liver as well as of the process of cholestasis. At the same time there was the decrease of total cholesterol till 1.83±0.06 mmole/l (in the control it was 2.08±0.07 mmole/l; р&#60;0.01) and lipoproteins of high density till 1.02±0.06 mmole/l (in the control it was 1.27±0.06 mmole/l; р&#60;0.01). Their concentration causes the stability of cellular membranes and hypothalamic-pituitarium-adrenal system in newborns to unfavourable factors in the early postnatal period of their development.
