Abstract. Residual insulin secretion, reflected by the presence of C-peptide in serum and urine, has been demonstrated in 5 of 10 insulin-requiring diabetics of less than 10 years' duration tested. The C-peptide response, in the C-peptide secretors, showed a significant increase in both serum and urine after 4 weeks' treatment with 15 mg glibenclamide daily in addition to their usual insulin regime although no beneficial effects in metabolic control were detected. It is suggested that glibenclamide might be a useful adjunct to insulin therapy in insulinrequiring diabetics who still secrete C-peptide.

Abstract Objectives Determination of LH in urine has proved to be a reliable method for evaluation of pubertal development. The human LH assay based on time-resolved immunofluorometric (IFMA) technology (AutoDELFIA, PerkinElmer, Wallac) has been found to be suitable for this purpose thanks to its high sensitivity but other assays have not been evaluated. We have analyzed our data obtained by another potentially sensitive detection technique, enhanced luminometric assay (LIA) with the objective of finding a viable alternative to IFMA since these may not be available in the future. Methods LIA was used to measure LH and FSH in serum and urine samples from 100 healthy subjects of each Tanner stage and both genders, whose pubertal development has been determined. Results Urinary gonodotropin concentrations measured by LIA correlated well with Tanner stage [(r=0.93 for girls, r=0.81 for boys; p<0.01 for LH) and (r=0.81 for girls, r=0.73 for boys; p<0.01 for FSH)]. LIA determinations revealed the increase in U-LH concentrations during the transition from Tanner stage 1–2 in both girls and boys (p<0.001), whereas U-FSH and S-LH were able to detect the increase from Tanner stage 1–2 only in boys or girls, respectively (both p<0.001). Conclusions Measurement of urinary gonadotropin concentrations by LIA may be useful for the evaluation of overall pubertal development and also in the detection of transition from prepuberty to puberty.

We measured plasma and urine ATIII and FgE levels by specific and sensitive radioimmunoassays (RIA) in 25 patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN) (proteinuria > lg/day) and in 17 patients with non-diabetic glomerulonephritis (GN), matched for degree of proteinuria. Plasma ATIII in DN (mean ± SD, 19.37 ± 2.40 mg/dl) were lower than in diabetics without renal involvement (21.84 ± 2.86 mg/dl). Total urine ATIII was directly related to proteinuria and inversely to creatinine clearance. In GN patients, plasma ATIII levels were even lower (16.84 ± 3.78 mg/dl), but the amount of urine ATIII fell when creatinine clearance decreased to below 37 ml/min. Serum FgE levels were elevated in both groups and this was associated with increased total urine FgE excretion. In DN, serum and urine FgE were directly related to proteinuria but inversely to creatinine clearance, indicating an increase in intraglomerular fibrin deposition as the disease progressed. These findings suggest that in DN, intravascular thrombosis might play an intermediary role as mediator of glomerular injury. Furthermore, the monitor of urine ATIII and FgE reflected the severity of DN and could be useful indices of the progression of the disease.

Abstract We described the principle of a new enzyme-immunoassay, competitive enzyme-liked immunoassay (CELIA), for quantitative measurement of soluble antigens and haptens. In the assay, binding of antibody to antigen-immunosorbent is competitively inhibited by the free antigen to be measured. The amount of first antibody bound to the immunosorbent is measured by an enzymatic technique in which a heterologous bridging antibody and a soluble antibody/enzyme immune complex are applied in sequence. The soluble complex we used was rabbit antiperoxidase/horseradish peroxidase. Peroxidase activity is inversely proportional to the concentration in the original sample of the substance to be assayed. The enzyme-linked reagents are potentially widely applicable to any substance to be measured. To demonstrate the feasibility of CELIA, we report a preliminary study of its application to the measurement of human chloriogonadotropin in serum and urine. The assay described for this hormone has a working range of 1 to 50 int. units per milliliter of sample. The technique obviates the disadvantages associated with measurement and handling of radioisotopes in radioimmunoassays and the only major instrumentation required is a centrifuge and a conventional spectrophotometer.
