Confirmation of herpes simplex virus (HSV) from genital lesions of obstetrical (OB) patients may affect both the management of the delivery and of the neonate.(l,2) During 1992 and 1993, 4,450 genital specimens from OB patients were submitted in viral transport media for herpes culture. The specimens were inoculated into MRC-5, Vero, and A-549 tissue culture tubes, incubated, and examined daily for 7 days for cytopathic effect (CPE). The original specimens were frozen at −70° C until final reports were issued. Culture tubes with CPE were tested by the Dupont Herpchek enzyme immuno assay (EIA) to confirm the presence of herpes simplex virus (HSV). (3,4) 170 OB patient specimens were positive by culture and confirmed by EIA.There were also 63 cultures exhibiting CPE ressembling HSV which were negative by EIA testing, which failed to pass in fresh tissue culture cells or progress to more enhanced CPE in culture. These original specimens were screened by electron microscopy after direct ultracentrifugation employing the Beckman airfuge with the EM 90 rotor on to formvar carbon-coated 300 mesh copper grids and negatively stained with 2% PTA.

The aim of the present hospital based study is to assess the serum levels of 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) among 152 subjects. A total of 152 subjects, categorized into 3 groups: (i) pesticides exposed group (N=60), (ii) pesticide un-exposed group (N=42) and (iii) healthy controls group (N=50) were recruited for the study following the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The blood was drawn from the eligible subjects and Enzyme Immuno Assay (EIA) was performed to assess the 8-OHdG levels in serum. Appropriate statistical methods were used to analyse the study data. Assessment showed that pesticides exposed group has higher levels of serum 8-OHdG as compared to un-exposed group and healthy controls. Age and duration of exposure had an impact on the levels of serum 8-OHdG.The higher serum levels of 8-OHdG may be a marker for pesticides-induced oxidative DNA damage. Key words: pesticides; exposure; oxidative stress; 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG).

Steroid receptor assays have clinical relevance in selecting women who would benefit from endocrine intervention. As the degree of benefit from endocrine therapy is directly related to the quantity of receptor present in the tumour, the quality of the steroid receptor assays is important. Moreover, since patients entered in multi-centre trials often include stratification based on the receptor status, receptor assays should be comparable between different institutes. ER- and PgR-assays have been evaluated in quality assessment studies for almost 20 years by the EORTC Receptor and Biomarker Study Group. During the QA trial 1998/1999 results were reported by 42 participants performing the Ligand Binding Assay (LBA) and by 39 participants using the Enzyme Immuno-Assay (EIA) kit. Each participant received a set of 12 QA vials to be analysed two at a time at two-monthly intervals. The between-laboratory CVs of ER LBA and EIA amounted to 40–50%. For PgR the between-lab CVs for the EIA method are lower as compared with LBA but still are approx. 30%. Notwithstanding the high deviation in reported values and the high between-lab CVs, the consistency of the participants over the year is acceptable, which pave the way for calibration. Indeed, after normalization of assay results the mean between-lab CVs dropped to 11% for ER LBA, 14% for ER EIA, 9% for PgR LBA and 11% for PgR EIA. Such a reduction of between-laboratory CVs is an essential requirement for the use of steroid receptor data in multicentre clinical studies.
