Patología de los tumores neuroblásticos: evaluación pronóstica. Experiencia del centro español de referencia de la SEOP para estudios biopatológicos …
2007
Resumen Antecedentes Los tumores neuroblasticos son los tumores solidos extracraneales mas frecuentes en la infancia y se caracterizan por una evolucion clinica heterogenea que va desde una progresion rapida a una regresion tumoral espontanea. Existen factores pronosticos conocidos que determinan dicha evolucion como son la edad, estadiaje, histopatologia, estatus de MYCN, ploidia y diversas ganancias y perdidas cromosomicas. El objetivo del trabajo es describir nuestra experiencia como laboratorio de referencia espanol para la determinacion de estos parametros pronosticos. Metodos Material tumoral de pacientes con neuroblastoma, remitido a nuestro laboratorio desde 1992 hasta 2005, ha sido…
Evaluación de la calidad de los diagnósticos premortem de causas de muerte en las autopsias del Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valencia (1985-1992)
2009
Se estudiaron 998 autopsias realizadas en el Servicio de Anatomía Patológica del Hospital Clínico Universitario de Valencia entre 1985 y 1992, introducidas y procesadas en el Sistema Automatizado de Registro y Control de Anatomía Patológica (SARCAP) en el Hospital «Hermanos Ameijeiras» de La Habana, Cuba. Los principales resultados fueron: predominio del sexo masculino y las edades avanzadas; las principales causas básicas de muerte fueron los tumores malignos, la ateromatosis coronaria, la cirrosis hepática y el SIDA, y las principales causas directas de muerte fueron la bronconeumonía, la extensión del cáncer y el tromboembolismo pulmonar. Hubo 10,6% de discrepancias diagnósticas premorte…
Deglycosylated bleomycin triggers apoptosis in laryngeal carcinoma cells in a caspase and reactive oxygen species independent manner
2008
Background: Bleomycin-A2, a member of a family of glycopeptide antibiotics, has potent antitumor activity against a range of lymphomas, head and neck cancer and germ cell tumors. However, little is known about the biologic activity of the carbohydrate moiety in Bleomycin-A2-induced cytotoxicity. Methods: We compared the capacity of Bleomycin-A2 and its deglycosylated form (deglycoBleomycin-A2) to induce cell death. Apoptosis was analyzed by cell nuclear staining with Hoechst 33342 dye and DNA fragmentation. The signal transduction pathway was measured through Western blotting and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Results: When tested on HEp-2 laryngeal carcinoma cells, Bleomyc…
Peroxisomes and Hepatotoxicity
1995
Peroxisomes are ubiquitous organelles of eukaryotic cells and are present in significant amounts in hepatic liver cells. Peroxisomal enzymes contribute to several metabolic pathways including fatty acid, purine and amino acid catabolism or bile acid synthesis. The peroxisomal oxidative reactions produce hydrogen peroxide, mostly degraded by catalase which prevents oxidative stress. Moreover, peroxisomes are involved in arylderivative drug detoxification through its epoxide hydrolase activity.
The chemistry of death--Adipocere degradation in modern graveyards.
2015
The formation of adipocere slows further decomposition and preserves corpses for decades or even centuries. This resistance to degradation is a serious problem, especially with regard to the reuse of graves after regular resting times. We present results from an exhumation series in modern graveyards where coffins from water-saturated earth graves contained adipocere embedded in black humic material after resting times of about 30 years. Based on the assumption that this humic material resulted from in situ degradation of adipocere, its presence contradicts the commonly held opinion that adipocere decomposition only occurs under aerobic conditions. To test our hypothesis, we collected black…
Biochemical identification and tissue-specific expression patterns of keratins in the zebrafish Danio rerio
1998
We have identified a number of type I and type II keratins in the zebrafish Danio rerio by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, complementary keratin blot-binding assay and immunoblotting. These keratins range from 56 kDa to 46 kDa in molecular mass and from pH 6.6 to pH 5.2 in isoelectric point. Type II zebrafish keratins exhibit significantly higher molecular masses (56-52 kDa) compared with the type I keratins (50-48 kDa), but the isoelectric points show no significant difference between the two keratin subclasses (type II: pH 6.0-5.5; type I: pH 6.1-5.2). According to their occurrence in various zebrafish tissues, the identified keratins can be classified into "E" (epider…
Nachweis von alpha1-Fetoprotein an Blutspuren mit Hilfe der Celluloseacetatfolien-(CAF)-Elektrophorese
1977
Die von Patzelt, Geserick und Lignitz fur Agargelelektrophorese zum Nachweis von alpha1-Fetoprotein beschriebene Technik konnte mit Erfolg auf das Celluloseacetatfolien-(CAF)-System ubertragen werden. Die Unterscheidbarkeit von Neugeborenen- oder Fetalblut und Erwachsenenblut wurde an 219 Neugeborenenbluten gepruft, die auf verschiedenen Spurentragern (Glas, Holz, Filterpapier und Leinen) getrocknet worden waren und gelang ausnahmslos nach Lagerung bei Zimmertemperatur bis zu einem Spurenalter von 8 Monaten. Die Spurentrager beeinflusten die Darstellung nicht.
