TITLE & NUMBER: FUNDAMENTALS OF ANALYTICAL CLINICAL CHEMISTRYPA-2

SERIES INDEX

INTRODUCTION: The techniques in analytical chemistry(PA-2-A) (gravimetric and volumetric) are the

basic fundamentals of all clinical chem-istry techniques utilized in the medicallaboratory. Clinical chemistry tech-niques require the knowledge of organicchemistry and physical chemistry measure-ments. Dr. Nicholas gives a brief historyof progress related to instruments usedin analytical clinical chemistry. Hestresses that colorimetry, use of colorfor measurement, is used in 90% of alldeterminations.

LECTURE I:(PA-2-A)

LECTURE II:(PA-2-B)

Chemistry of Solutions: defines density,specific gravity, per cent solutions,methods of preparing (weight-weight,weight-volume; volume-volume, volume-weight), saturated solutions. Cautionsabout compounds which are anhydxmo orhyditou4 when preparing solutions.Introduction to standard solutions--twotypes: defines molar and normal.

Standard Solutions of Analytical Chemistry--Acids: Molar and normal solutions. Explainsfundamental formula for preparing and usingnormal solutions. Stresses ionization andvaJence. Defines valence of a chemicalcompound, gives example problem with H2SO4,and explains process of standardizacion.Sulfuric Acid Solution: a primary standard,why a primary standard, and importance inclinical Ikboratory.

LECTURE III: Standard Solutions of Analytical Chemistry--(PA-2-C) Bases: Preparation and standardization of

TaTUTion of NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide). Titra-tion procedure to balance with H2SO4 solution.Other systems involving standard solutions:importance of knowing valence, or how thecompound will act under certain conditions.System: oxidation/reduction ("Redox" 2systems) (1) permanganimetric analysis:titration procedure, balanced with oxalicacid [or sodium oxalate]; (2) iodimetricanalysis: use of iodine in a quantitativevolumetric procedure; free iodine willreact with sodium thio-sulfate to formsodium iodide and sodium tetra-thionate.

LECTURE IV:(PA-2-D)

LECTURE V:(PA-2-E)

LECTURE VI:(PA-2-F)

LECTURE VII:(PA-2-G)

Any substance that can release free iodinefrom potassium iodide can be determined byiodimetric titration. Iodimetric titraticnis the most universal of all of the oxida-tion/reduction determinations and volumetricanalysis in general.

Dynamic Equilibrium: defines and illustratesionization of H20 as basis of all pHmeasurements. Law of Mass Action: ioniza-tion constant derivation of Sorensennotation for pH. "pH is the log of thereciprocal of H+ion concentration inmoles per liter." pH really measures"activity" of H+ rather than concentra-tion. Ionization Constant (Kw) Detail:discussion in determining K. pH definition:detailed discussion of pH system andactivity. How to change and produce pHvalues.

pH System and Activity (cont.): usingcombinations of salts to get solutionsof various pH values. Discusses andillustrates double dynamic equilibrium.Buffers: defines and illustrates how tomake a buffer. How to determine pH values:(1) Colorimetric (details of system anduse); (2) Electrometric: evolution of thepH meter (description of parts, construction,voltage). Compare with automobile battery.Calomel cell: description and illustrationof construction and utilization.

Nernst(1889) Esuation of Voltaze: use andapplication of equation. Use and applica-tion of buffer solution (use of a weakacid).

Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation: derivation,calculations of pK value. Problems relatedto determination of pK value.

TITLE & NUMBER: THE FAMILY TREE: CANCER GENETICS MP68-3

PROGRAM LENGTH: 25min.

ABSTRACT: The early and accurate diagnosis of a chronicdisease, especially cancer, is a responsibili-ty which all physicians feel deeply. Thisprogram illustrates the importance of therole of the general practitioner in earlydetection of cancer, particularly in regardto those malignant neoplasms with a classicalhereditary etiology.

The problem of hereditary cancer is beingstudied at institutions such as The Universityof Texas M. D. Andc,rson Hospital and TumorInstitute at Houston, where scientists andresearchers study the genetic characteristicsof numerous cancers through pedigree analysis.As the program demonstrates, genetic knowledgecan help in early cancer detection in certain"hereditary" cancers, such as the nevoidbasal cell carcinoma syndrome, von Reckling-hausen's neurofibromatosis, familial poly-posis coli, and many others.

Field trips for cancer genetic studies arean innovation that have proven useful atthe M. D. Anderson Hospital. This cooperativeeffort between the investigating team andthe local physician pays dividends to research-ers, physicians, and patients. The final partof the program shows a typical field tripto a small Texas town where an alert generalpractitioner has found early signs of here-ditary cancer. And the importance of theinformation gathered by the multi-disciplinedteam is emphasized.

TITLE & NUMBER: THE GROWTH OF TUMORS GSBS-5

PROGRAM LENGTH: 24 min.

ABSTRACT: Of interest to medical or informed lay audiences,this presentation develops a model of the growthof cancer. It is oased upon the concept of linearexponential growth. This proposes that the rateand pattern of cancer growth, which togethercorstitute behavior, are at least as characteristicof Individual cancers and types of cancers as isthe morphology on which we commonly base diagnosis,prognosis and treatment.

The thesis is supported by the relentless con-sistency of the statistics of age incidence, sur-vival rates and mortality rates. Examination ofexponential growth indicates that under optimumcircumstances two-thirds to three-quarters of thetotal duration of the course of cancer transpiresbefore the time of discovery and diagnosis.Attention is directed to the probable inceptionof cancer, which must have the same consistencyas the age distribution curves for diagnosis andshould be the focus of investigation for studyof the nature and action of etiologic factors.

STEPHEN GALLAGER, M.D.Department of Pathology

Because rapidity and precision in diagnosiscontribute to the improvement of patientsurvival, pathologists are concerned withimproving diagnostic methods.

Directed to both surgeons and pathologists,this program illustrates the use of thecryostat at M. D. Anderson Hospital and TumorInstitute in providing rapid frozen sectioningof surgical specimens.

Though machines and techniques are featuredin the program, of primary emphasis is theconcept of a complete pathology team applyingits special skills and knowledge to patientcare and to control of malignant disease.
