Abstract We report a new potentiometric method for determining pyruvate kinase (PK). Enzymatic activity is measured by monitoring the change in pH produced in the reaction buffer under International Committee for Standardization in Haematology (ICSH) standardized assay conditions, and the lactate dehydrogenase reaction is automatically subtracted in each measuring cycle. The analysis, performed at 37 degrees C, requires a 10-microL sample (isolated erythrocytes or whole blood) and is completed in 2.5 min. The intra-assay CV is < 4% (PK between 3 and 35 U/g Hb); the interassay CV is 4.0% (PK 15 U/g Hb); results are linear from 3 to 30 U/g Hb. A good correlation with the ICSH reference method (x) was found: y = 1.011x - 0.05; n = 32; r = 0.9939; Sylx = 0.75 (units: U/g Hb). The reference intervals of the PK activity in isolated erythrocytes (RBC-PK) were estimated in 89 normal subjects. We found that women possess a higher RBC-PK than do men (P < 0.0001) and that the biological variability (CVb) of RBC-PK is 13.5%. Applications of the proposed method to the hematological routine are reported.

In studying ion implanted semiconductors and fast neutron irradiated metals, the need for characterizing small dislocation loops having diameters of a few hundred angstrom units usually arises. The weak beam imaging method is a powerful technique for analyzing these loops. Because of the large reduction in stacking fault (SF) fringe spacing at large sg, this method allows for a rapid determination of whether the loop is faulted, and, hence, whether it is a perfect or a Frank partial loop. This method was first used by Bicknell to image small faulted loops in boron implanted silicon. He explained the fringe spacing by kinematical theory, i.e., ≃l/(Sg) in the fault fringe in depth oscillation. The fault image contrast formation mechanism is, however, really more complicated.
