چکیده

Reproducibility of reading "N-Multistix" dipsticks by a semi-automated urinalysis instrument (Ames' "Clini-Tek") has been described for artifically prepared samples. Glucose, ketone, urobilinogen, and nitrite showed high reproducibility (greater than 90%) for reading multiple samples at predetermined analyte concentrations. Determination of proteinuria showed the lowest proportion of false positives (2-3%) and false negatives (0%). Determination of hemoglobinuria and bilirubinuria by dipsticks were the least reproducible. Urobilinogen showed no interference from bilirubin in concentrations up to 32 mg/liter. Precision was high for results for quality-control capsules provided by the manufacturer.

Evaluation of Mutagenicity of Mebudipine, a New Calcium Channel Blocker

Mebudipine is a new dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, synthesized in our laboratory, for treatment of hypertension. It has shown a better efficacy than other drugs in this group. For assessing the risks of this drug, certain safety tests in the preclinical stage have been performed. In this study mutagenic effect of mebudipine was evaluated using Ames assay that could assess the mutageni...
