A comparison of different APTT-reagents, heparin-sensitivity and detection of mild coagulopathies
(1992)
The activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) is widely used to detect coagulation abnormalities or to monitor heparin treatment.
Many commercial aPTT-reagents are available which contain different phospholipid reagents and activators. In the present study 3 aPTT-reagents (aPTT-D, Instrumentation Laboratory, Neothromtin, Behring, PTTa, Boehringer) were compared using a computerized centrifugal analyzer. One aPTT-reagent (Pathromtin, Behring) was tested on a semiautomated coagulometer. Instrument precision was evaluated using aPTT-D as reagent.
Comparative tests were performed on plasma samples of 40 healthy donors, 3 patients with mild von Willebrand's disease (vWd), W patients with heaemophilia or subhaemophilia A, 1 patient with subhaemophilia A and vWd, 8 patients treated with subcutaneous injection of unfractionated heparin (UFH) and 14 patients treated with subcutaneous injection of a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH).
aPTT-D was the most sensitive reagent to detect mild vWd while Pathromtin detected none of these defects. In patients with heamophilia A and subhaemophilia A aPTT-D, Neothromtin and PTTa detected the abnormality in nearly all tested samples while Pathromtin was less sensitive.
Patients treated with subcutaneously applied UFH or LMWH often had a prolonged aPTTt especially when aPTT-D and Neothromtin were used as reagents.
Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is the main cause of herpes genitalis, a recurrent sexually transmitted disease. By the use of routine Serologie methods (complement fixation test, enzyme immunoassay), virus carriers are difficult to identify because of strong antibody cross reactions with antigens of HSV-1 which is ubiquitously spread throughout the population. We introduce a microtechnique Western blot system loaded with HSV-1 and HSV-2 type-specific and common antigens on separated nitrocellulose strips. By the simultaneous evaluation of Immunologie reactions with both strips, the occurrence of HSV-2 specific antibodies can be sensitively detected in serum specimens containing antibodies to HSV-1. A total of 158 serum specimens were analyzed and the results obtained by Western blot were compared to those of a screening ELISA and virus isolation performed with smears of herpes lesions.
An agreement of 97.9 % was assessed between Western blot and virus isolation to detect an HSV-1 and HSV-2 infection. Less specific serologic results were produced by the screening ELISA on HSV-2 antibodies which correlated in 85.4 % (41/48) with virus isolation and typing. Concerning HSV-2 antibody testing, Western blot and ELISA showed an overall agreement in 89.8 % of the sera investigated.
As shown by our data, the HSV type specific Western blot proved to be a specific, reproducible and standardized technique. It can be utilized for both sero-epidemiological surveys and determination of the HSV immune status.
Zum Screening auf Bence Jones-Proteinurie wird die Immunfixations-Elektrophorese (IFE) des unkonzentrierten Harnes empfohlen. Aufgrund einer Nachweisempfindlichkeit für freie Leichtketten zwischen 9 und 65 mg/1 werden die klinisch relevanten Bence Jones-Proteinurien erfaßt.
Der VK-Wert der Intraassay-Präzision der IFE zum Bence Jones-Proteinnachweis beträgt 12 %, derjenige der Interassay-Präzision 30%.
Mit der Ausbildung eines Zonenphänomens in der IFE beim Screening auf Bence Jones-Proteinurie muß gerechnet werden, wenn die Bence Jones-Proteinausscheidung vom Kappa-Typ über 1,4 g/l und vom Lambda-Typ über 0,7 g/l beträgt.
Die Konzentrationsbestimmung von Bence Jones-Protein sollte mit der Biuret-Methode erfolgen. Mit der Coomassie Brilliant Blau G 250-Methode wird Bence Jones-Protein nur in sehr unterschiedlichem Ausmaß erfaßt.

On tradition
(1992)
Es wird über die Herkunft von Lysichiton americanum aus Anpflanzungen und dessen Verbreitung im Gebiet des Großen Feldbergs im Taunus (Hessen, Deutschland) berichtet, Die bekanntgewordenen Fundorte aus den Jahren 1982 bis 1992 werden beschrieben und auf einer Verbreitungskarte dargestellt. Auf Ausbreitungstendenzen von Lysichiton americanum und die dadurch mögliche Gefährdung der autochthonen Bachauenvegetation wird hingewiesen.
In einem 50 qm großen, im Naturschutzgebiet "Heiliges Meer" bei Hopsten gelegenen Dauerquadrat nahm das Heidekraut (Calluna vulgaris) von 1985 bis 1987 sehr stark ab. Der Rückgang beruht auf strengen Frösten bei fehlender oder lückiger Schneedecke der vorhergehenden Winter, in denen Calluna erfror. Dementsprechend vermehrten sich der Kleine Ampfer (Rumex acetosella) und die Jungbirken (Betula pendula und B. pubescens). 1988 nahmen die Flechten vorübergehend zu.
