ABSTRACT
Objective To study the correlation of blood drug concentration determination of sodium valproate in children with epilepsy by using enzyme-multiplied immunoassay test (EMIT) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), so as to provide basis of selection in clinical determination of sodium valproate ( VPA) .Methods 200 blood samples of epileptic children taking sodium valproate were collected, blood concentration were determined by EMIT and HPLC method, and the correlation was analyzed.Results The following regression equation was obtained by determination results of HPLC (X) and EMIT (Y): Y=1063.517X-331.351(r=0.933), which had significant correlation (P<0.05).The plasma concentration of VPA determined by EMIT was higher than that by HPLC.Conclusion The determination results of VPA concentration in epileptic children by using EMIT and HPLC has significant correlation, and it should choose the suitable method to determine the blood drug concentration of VPA based on the actual situation.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the difference and correlation of HPLC and enzyme-multiplied immunoassay test( EMIT) for the determination of CsA in human whole blood. Methods:A total of 119 clinical samples at different concentrations of CsA were collected and respectively determined by HPLC and EMIT. The difference and correlation of the two determination methods were investigated. Results:There was significant difference in the blood concentrations of CsA determined by HPLC and EMIT(P<0. 05). CsA concen-tration determined by EMIT was 26. 2 ng·ml-1 higher than that determined by HPLC, and 95% CI was (14. 6-37. 7) ng·ml-1 . A satisfactory correlation was achieved between the two methods(r=0. 997 4). Conclusion:There is statistically significant difference in the CsA concentration in whole blood respectively determined by EMIT and HPLC. Attention should be paid to CsA monitoring by E-MIT and HPLC, and relevant adjustment should be carried out.
