The ES 300 system, a fully automated multichannel immunoassay analyzer, was evaluated simultaneously for 9 weeks in four major centers. Precision, accuracy, carryover, comparison to in-house methods, and interferences were assessed for the following 17 tests: T4, T3, FT4, TSH, TBK, TBG, LH, FSH, prolactin, HCG, digoxin, cortisol, ferritin, IgE, insulin, AFP, and CEA. All centers reported good intra-lab and inter-lab precision. Accuracy was judged to be good based on correlation with in-house methods and recovery of target values in commercial and proficiency control materials. Linearity was evaluated for 14 analytes. Method biases were observed for T3 and insulin that were attributed to differences in standardization. No significant interferences from bilirubin, lipemia, and hemolysis were observed for all methods except insulin and AFP. Featuring random access capability, low daily maintenance, and high throughput, the ES 300 system performed well and met the stated claims of the manufacturer.

This study evaluated the performance of the HCG STAT Elecsys assay in 8 European laboratories using the Elecsys 2010 system. Analytical sensitivity was < 0.5 mlU/mL. The analysis of concentration series prepared by mixing serum pools with high and low HCG concentrations proved linearity up to 10.000 mIU/mL. A high-dose hook effect was not seen up to HCG concentrations of 430.000 mIU/mL. The medians of the within-run CVs (n = 21, 3 series) were 3.0% (2.1-5.8% CV; 10.4-14.4 mIU/mL), 2.4% (1.7-6.1% CV; 35.6-88.6 mIU/mL) and 2.3% (1.7-6.1% CV; 282.3-643.8 mIU/mL). The medians of the between-day imprecisions (n = 10-21) were 7.0% CV (5.2-12.0% CV; 4.0-14.0 mIU/mL), 5.5% CV (3.1-7.2% CV; 35.4-92.7% mIU/mL) and 4.1% CV (2.8-5.1% CV; 270.8-658.0 mIU/mL). The median recovery of two external quality control samples with assigned values of 9.39 and 10.40 mIU/mL) were 101.2 and 104.3% (ranges: 94.8-116.1%, 98.6-117.8%, n = 10). The assay was compared with five non-isotopic automated routine immunoassay systems (x). Slopes ranged from 0.87 to 1.15 and intercepts from-0.53 to 12.50 mIU/mL. The coefficients of correlation were with one exception (0.898) > or = 0.960. The distribution of HCG in samples from non-pregnant women and healthy men was very similar to that observed with other automated routine methods. The HCG Elecsys assay is very specific for the intact holo-hormone. Nicked HCG dimer, nicked and non-nicked beta-subunits are weakly recognised or not detected. Hemoglobin, bilirubin and lipemia (tested up to: Hb, 3.7 g/L; bilirubin, 500 mumol/L; triglyceride, 37.6 mmol/L) did not interfere the assay. The HCG Elecsys assay is well suited for the early and fast diagnosis of normal pregnancy and the detection of tubal pregnancy.

A novel series of 5-fluoro-N-(9,10-dihydro-9,10-dioxoanthracen-8-yl)-1H-indole-2-carboxamides (3c-3g) were synthesized. The present study was undertaken to investigate the possible antihyperlipidemic effect of these novel compounds on hyperlipidemic rats. Hyperlipidemia was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of Triton WR-1339 (300 mg/kg). The tested animals were divided into normal control (NCG), hyperlipidemic control (HCG), compounds 3c-, 3d-, 3e-, 3f-, 3g- and bezafibrate (BF)-treated groups. At a dose of 15 mg/kg, compounds 3c-3g and BF (100 mg/kg) significantly (p < 0.0001) reduced elevated plasma triglycerides levels after 12 and 24 h compared to the hyperlipidemic control group. However, only compounds 3e and 3g obviously showed a significant (p < 0.0001) reduction in plasma total cholesterol levels after 12 and 24 h. Moreover, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were significantly increased in all treated groups. The current study demonstrates that 5-fluoro-N-(9,10-dihydro-9,10-dioxoanthracen-8-yl)-1H-indole-2-carboxamides (3c-3g) have a definite antihyperlipidemic potential and these beneficial activities may contribute to their cardioprotective and antiatherosclerotic role.
