Radial "high-performance" thin-layer chromatography used to assess fetal lung maturity.

چکیده
A radial "high-performance" thin-layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method is described by which the percentages and ratios of phosphatidylinositol, sphingomyelin, lecithin, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, and dimethyl phosphatidylethanolamine may be determined simultaneously. An additional method for radial HPTLC determination of saturated phosphatidylcholine is described. We report results of application of these methods to greater than 2000 specimens of amniotic fluid from both diabetic and nondiabetic cases.

Improved thin-layer chromatography of disaturated phosphatidylcholine in amniotic fluid.
We describe an indirect test of fetal lung maturity: the quantitation of disaturated phosphatidylcholine in amniotic fluid. The lipids in samples of amniotic fluid from 172 patients were reacted with osmium tetroxide, and disaturated phosphatidylcholine was then isolated by thin-layer chromatography. Interfering substances were retained by a pre-adsorbent layer. The charred disaturated phosphat...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Amniostat-FLM assay for assessment of fetal lung maturity.
Results of the "Amniostat-FLM" assay, a rapid semiquantitative test for phosphatidylglycerol, were compared with determinations of the lecithin/sphingomyelin (L/S) ratio, with phosphatidylglycerol measured by two-dimensional thin-layer chromatography, and with results of the "shake test" for 94 specimens of amniotic fluid. Correlation between results with the Amniostat and the other tests was e...
متن کاملLiquid-chromatographic estimation of saturated phospholipid palmitate in amniotic fluid compared with a thin-layer chromatographic method for acetone-precipitated lecithin.
The "high-performance" liquid-chromatographic method we report for measuring palmitate derived from saturated phospholipids in amniotic fluid is sensitive and precise and possesses a wide dynamic range. Palmitate from nonsurfactant sources is largely excluded. The procedure involves oxidation of the chloroform/methanol-extracted lipids with osmium tetroxide, precipitation of the resulting phosp...
متن کاملThe relation between the choline containing surfactant phospholipids lecithin and sphingomyelin in amniotic fluid and fetal lung maturity
The relation between the choline containing surfactant phospholipids lecithin and sphingomyelin in amniotic fluid and fetal lung maturity is well established. An enzymatic method that had been automated and optimised for use on a centrifugal analyser was used to measure the total choline containing phospholipids in amniotic fluid. The total time taken for this assay was 10 minutes. The results ...
