Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2001;0(03):-
This paper demonstrated the importance of Homocysteine detection. It was proved that Hyperhomocysteinemia has the evident relationship to the Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and homocysteine is a new independent factor of danger and prediction, and more attentions should be given on homocysteine in clinic. As regard to the situation that Homocysteine detection has not been popularly used in China, the authors give some advice in homocysteine detection, such as: population choosing, normal range defining, quality insurance and so on.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) barrier membrane in guided periodontal tissue regeneration(GTR) . Methods:Nine patients with Ⅱ~Ⅲ furcation lesions were treated by guided tissue regeneration using ePTFE membrane. The membrane was retrieved 5 weeks after operation and examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) . Results:Large amount of lymphocytes were found on the external upper surfaces of ePTFE, with a little bacteria. The external lower surface of ePTFE was full of fibrocytes, red blood cells and lymphocytes.Conclusion:ePTFE membrane is biocompatible and can close the primary wound over a barrier which stops the downgrowth of junctional epithelium at the early stage of periodontal tissue repair after operation.

Objective To evaluate the analytical variables of the reversed-phase high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) with 5-Fluorouracil(5-Fu) as an internal standard for determining creatinine in human serum and urine. The method was used as a candidate reference method for accuracy assessment of routine creatinine test kits.Methods We tested the accuracy, precision, linearity of the reversed-phase HPLC.We analyzed split samples of a panel of 85 patients’ serum and 94 patients’ urine and compared the results of the routine test kits and HPLC by means of bias plots (percentage differences of results) and standard linear regression.Results The linear range of HPLC method was up to 2 210 ?mol/L, the within-run CV(n=5) was below 2.5% and the between-day CV(n=10) was less than 4.5%. The analytical recovery rate was 96.3%~102.4%. All of the test kits correlated very well with HPLC.Conclusions We recommend the reversed-phase HPLC with 5-Fu as an internal standard as a candidate reference method for determining creatinine in human serum and urine.The enzymatic method with creatininase coupled sarcosine oxidase is suitable for routine work in clinical laboratories.
