[Electronic data transfer from computer to computer in blood banks using HL7].

To date on national, european and worldwide level, different groups and committees are working on making a compatible transfer of data in all areas possible. The Working Party on Automation and Data Processing of the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) has implemented a task force, which, together with HL7 (Health Level 7), is trying to realize a practical concept for a flexible and standardized transfer of all relevant data on blood banking.

[Pre-stained slides for differential blood counts (author's transl)].

A new method for differential blood counts using pre-stained slides showed it to be suitable for routine use. To differentiate white blood cells the same experience was needed as for conventional stainings. Normal and abnormal blood pictures can be reliably distinguished. The particular advantage of the method is in the simple preparation of the smear and in avoiding the need for time-consuming staining.

Relation between concentrations of free glycerol and triglycerides in human sera.

The concentrations of total glycerol, unesterified glycerol, and glycerol deriving from triglycerides (triacylglycerols) were measured in 468 fresh human sera from unselected outpatients of a municipal hospital. The distribution mode of free glycerol was log-normal; that of triglycerides was neither normal nor log-normal. A weak but statistically approved correlation between these variables was demonstrated. A comparison of triglyceride concentrations corrected for unesterified glycerol with those based on total glycerol shows that, for the triglycerides determination, analysis for total glycerol and substraction of 0.11 mmol/liter from the resulting value appears to be justified in clinical routine. Subtraction of individual sample-blank values is unnecessary. In a triglyceride concentration range from 1.71 to 2.85 mmol/liter the 95 percentile for the possible error of this procedure ranges from + 0.04 to - 0.08 mmol/liter.

[A fully enzymatic triglyceride determination in a continuous flow 12-channel analyzer (author's transl)].

A fully enzymatic triglyceride determination utilizing enzymatic hydrolysis with a lipase-esterase mixture and subsequent enzymatic glycerol determination, has been adapted for use in a continuous flow 12-channel-analyzer. The method is linear up to 7.9 mmol/l (700 mg/100 ml). The analytical precision in the concentration range of 1.5 to 5.4 mmol/l (133 to 478 mg/100 ml) is characterized by relative standard deviations of 0.8 to 4.8%. In the lower measuring range at concentrations around 0.7 mmol/l (62 mg/100 ml) a mean relative standard deviation of 7.2% is found for 1140 measurements under routine conditions. For triglyceride concentrations of 0.9 to 7.7 mmol/80 to 680 mg/100 ml) a mean relative coefficient of verspill Q = 2.0 is determined. Bilirubin caused no observable interference in the determination. In comparison with the manual method by Eggstein & Kreutz (1966) Klin. Wochenschr. 44, 262-267) the results from the fully enzymatic method on the 12-channel-analyzer were lower by approximately 16%, corrected by an additive factor of 0.029 mmol/l (2.59 mg/100 ml). The accuracy controls with controls sera showed a difference of 10%.
