Evaluation of a high-resolution electrophoresis system.

A high-resolution electrophoresis system (Panagel) is evaluated by comparing the results with Microzone electrophoresis and with quantitation of individual protein fractions by the radial immunodiffusion technic and by the SMA system. The high-resolution electrophoresis showed a higher percentage of gamma globulin and a lower percentage of albumin than the Microzone system, with the alpha-1, alpha-2, and beta globulins being similar in quantity. The eight protein fractions studied: albumin, alpha-1 antitrypsin, alpha-2 macroglobulin, haptoglobin, beta-lipoprotein, C3 complement, and gamma globulin, correlated very well with the corresponding components in the various methods used. The normal values of the protein fractions were determined.

A walking donor program for an intensive care nursery.

Repeated transfusions of small increments of blood are frequently required for the sick newborn infant to correct endogenous hypovolemia and/or to replace blood obtained repeatedly for monitoring purposes. Current practices of blood banks are rarely geared to supply the small amounts of blood used for these individual transfusions. To provide a more efficient system, a walking donor program was established in which an appropriate hospital-based individual is cross matched as a donor for an infant for the duration of the infant's hospital stay. The program eliminates wastage of blood and donors and reduces the number of infectious agents to which the infant may be exposed.
