False Negative Results

Abstract When a series of patients' urine samples supplemented in vitro with chlorpromazine or imipramine was assayed with the Forrest qualitative assays, we observed an occasional false-negative result, which we found was attributable to interference by ascorbic acid. It interferes with the reagent, not with the analytes, in both assays. We easily eliminated this interference with the phenothiazine test by using an anion-exchange resin. Eliminating the interference with the assay for imipramine, however, is more difficult; false-negative results can be obtained even after ion-exchange chromatography if the imipramine concentration is less than 50 mg/L.

In Vivo Testing

Abstract Background Aspiration testing before filler injection is controversial. Some believe that aspiration can help prevent inadvertent intravascular injection, while others cite false-negative results and question its value given that the needle position always changes somewhat during injection procedures. Objectives To test the relation of false-negative results to the viscosity of the material within the needle lumen and determine whether a less viscous material within the needle lumen could decrease the incidence of false-negative results. Methods In vitro aspiration tests were performed using 30-G and 27-G needle gauges, two cross-linked hyaluronic acid fillers, normal saline bags pressurized at 140 and 10 mmHg to mimic human arterial and venous pressures, and three needle lumen conditions (normal saline, air, and filler). Testing was repeated three times under each study condition (72 tests in total). For in vivo correlation, aspiration tests were performed on femoral arteries and central auricular veins in three rabbits (4–5 aspirations per site, 48 tests in total). Results In vitro and in vivo testing using 30-G needles containing filler both showed false-negative results on aspiration testing. In vitro and in vivo testing using needles containing saline or air showed positive findings. Conclusions False-negative results from aspiration testing may be reduced by pre-filling the needle lumen with saline rather than a filler. The pressurized system may help overcome challenges of animal models with intravascular pressures significantly different from those of humans. The adaptability of this system to mimic various vessel pressures may facilitate physiologically relevant studies of vascular complications.

SUMMARY The uptake of 65Zn and [1,2-3H]testosterone by minced tissue of human benign hypertrophic prostates and the subcellular distribution of radioactivity were examined. The nature of steroid and 65Zn binding by the cytosol (105000 g supernatant) fraction was investigated by gel filtration, ion-exchange chromatography and electrophoresis. It was found that steroid binding after incubation at 4°C was specific. One or two regions of steroid binding were observed after gel filtration of the cytosol using Sephadex G-200, depending upon incubation conditions. Binding of 65Zn was found in the low molecular weight peak after G-200 gel filtration. Equimolar CdCl2 and 65ZnCl2 were incubated with [1,2-3H]testosterone and minced tissue and the cytosol was subjected to gel filtration. Compared with control values, without CdCl2, reduction of 65Zn binding by about 50% occurred, while binding of 3H-labelled steroid was unaffected. Electrophoresis and ion-exchange chromatography showed that 65Zn and 3H-labelled steroid were bound to different proteins. A sample of the zinc-binding protein was prepared by ion-exchange chromatography and the homogeneity was checked by electrophoresis.
