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 evaluated the performance of the Kodak DTSC Module for determination of alanine aminotransferase (ALT; EC 2.6.1.2), aspartate aminotransferase (2.5.1.2), alkaline phosphatase (3.1.3.1), creatine kinase (2.7.3.2), gamma-glutamyltransferase (2.3.2.2), and lactate dehydrogenase (1.1.1.27). The DTSC is a "special chemistry" accessory for the DT60 analyzer; the same multilayer film technology as that of the Ektachem 700 is used. The overall precision, assessed over a three-month period with two serum-based quality control materials, ranged from 2.2 to 8.0%. DTSC results for patients' specimens correlated well with those by the Technicon RA-1000 analyzer. The performance of the analyzer in linearity and interference studies was satisfactory for clinical use. The DTSC is simple to operate and has no technique-dependent step; it should be useful for the physician's office laboratory.

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 evaluated the analytical performance of the EPOS (Eppendorf Patient Oriented System) Automated Selective Chemistry Analyzer, using the following tests for serum analytes: alanine and aspartate aminotransferases, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, gamma-glutamyltransferase, alkaline phosphatase, and glucose. Results from the EPOS correlated well with those from comparison instruments (r greater than or equal to 0.990). Precision and linearity limits were excellent for all tests; linearity of the optical and pipetting systems was satisfactory. Reagent carryover was negligible. Sample-to-sample carryover was less than 1% for all tests, but only lactate dehydrogenase was less than the manufacturer's specified 0.5%. Volumes aspirated and dispensed by the sample and reagent II pipetting systems differed significantly from preset values, especially at lower settings; the reagent I system was satisfactory at all volumes tested. Minimal daily maintenance and an external data-reduction system make the EPOS a practical alternative to other bench-top chemistry analyzers.

Abstract Kits of five different suppliers, composed according to the Dutch recommendations for determination of the enzyme activity of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, gamma-glutamyltransferase, alkaline phosphatase, and creatine kinase, were intercompared. Activity concentrations of the enzymes in human sera were measured under defined conditions, evaluated, and related to the actual composition of the kits. Concentrations of all kit components were determined by various analytical techniques. The overall results of the activity measurements and the composition of at least three kits inter-agree well. We found deviations as great as 10% in our analytical evaluation of the kits of the other two suppliers, which can partly be accounted for.

Term Newborns

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.

Muscle Breakdown

Abstract Hepatic infarction was observed post mortem in a 27-year-old man who died of aortic dissection. Blood had been sampled at admission and 12 and 19 hours later. Values for aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase in serum were markedly above normal, whereas those for alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyltransferase were only marginally increased. A threefold-increased creatine kinase was ascribable solely to isoenzyme CK-3, suggesting muscle breakdown. Moreover, total lactate dehydrogenase activity was increased threefold, accounted for by a ninefold increase in LD-5 isoenzyme. Those enzyme activities in serum that evidently are associated with acute hepatocellular necrosis increase quickly in hepatic infarction, and CK isoenzyme assay is a useful adjunct if LD-5 increases are significant.

Abstract The effect of hemolysis on several assays performed with the Hitachi 717 was quantified by relating the amount of error to the concentration of hemoglobin. Hemolysis interference was judged clinically significant when analyte concentration varied by > 10% from the initial value. Hemolysis interference was significant for alkaline phosphatase, aspartate aminotransferase, alpha-amylase, bilirubin, creatine kinase, gamma-glutamyltransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, lactate dehydrogenase-1, potassium, and theophylline assays. Error (expressed in absolute terms) was linearly dependent on hemoglobin concentration and independent of the initial analyte concentration in each case, except for bilirubin and theophylline, where multiple regression analysis was required to quantify the effect. Relative error was dependent on the initial analyte concentration in all cases. Correction formulas were calculated from linear regression of absolute error vs hemoglobin concentration. Clinical application of correction formulas and mechanisms of hemolysis interference for each assay are discussed.

Over Time

Physical exercise strongly affects human metabolism and causes biochemical changes. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between routine plasma biomarker levels and recovery efficiency in soccer players during an entire competitive match season. The players participating in the study were divided into a midfielder/defender group (seven midfielders and seven defenders) and a goalie/substitute group (six persons—goalkeepers and players with a short cumulative match-time). The fasting capillary blood samples were taken 17–24 h after each competitive match. The blood plasma was used to determine the creatinine, urea, alkaline phosphatase, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, aspartate and alanine aminotransferase, iron and magnesium levels of the athletes. The levels of (AST) (aspartate aminotransferase), (ALT) (alanine aminotransferase) and (Cr) creatinine were higher in the midfielder/defender group than in the control group, but only AST and Cr significantly varied over time (AST decreased, and Cr increased with time). The (LDH) (lactate dehydrogenase) activity and urea level were significantly lower in the midfielder/defender group than in the goalie/substitute group, and it significantly varied over time (LDH decreased, and urea increased with time). No differences in the (CK) creatine kinase and (ALP) alkaline phosphatase activities between the groups was found, although CK increased significantly with time in the midfielder/defender group (particularly midfielders in the spring round). In midfielders, the AST activity and the iron level were significantly lower in the spring than in the autumn round. On the contrary, ALT, CK, urea and magnesium levels were significantly higher in the spring than in autumn round. A long-term measurement of biochemical parameters in elite soccer players indicated that AST, CK, LDH and creatinine levels, when analyzed together, could constitute a useful set of markers for monitoring recovery periods.
