The Macroscopic, histological and immunohistochemical aspects of lung acinar adenocarcinoma and the presence of nodules in the abdominal cavity of an adult female bovine are reported. In the necropsy analysis samples were collected from the: lung, heart, spleen, liver, pancreas, kidney, uterus, intestine, brain, and from nodules found in the lung and abdominal cavity, which were routinely processed to be stained by hematoxylin-eosin and for an immunohistochemistry exam with the antibodies: cytokeratin (dilution 1:200 μL) and vimentin (dilution 1:1000 μL). The histopathological examination revealed neoplastic epithelial cells with acini formation. The immunohistochemical examination of the tumor cells showed positive marking for cytokeratin and the absence of marking for vimentin. According to anatomical, morphological, and histopathological findings, as well as the result of the immunohistochemical examination, the tumor was characterized as lung acinar adenocarcinoma.

Introducción. La producción de una proteína viral recombinante facilita la aplicación de diversas metodologías bioquímicas en investigación básica de los virus con relevancia clínica. Además, la obtención de un anticuerpo policlonal dirigido contra la proteína P permite el estudio de su función y está soportado en la inexistencia de un anticuerpo comercial dirigido contra esa proteína. Objetivo. Producir y caracterizar un anticuerpo policlonal dirigido contra la proteína P recombinante del virus de la rabia expresada en Escherichia coli. Materiales y métodos. El gen P que codifica para la proteína P del virus de la rabia, fue amplificado por reacción en cadena de la polimerasa de transcriptasa reversa y clonado en el vector de expresión PinPointTM Xa-1 T (PROMEGA). La proteína recombinante P fue expresada en E. coli purificada por cromatografía de afinidad y usada para la producción del anticuerpo policlonal anti-P. El anticuerpo obtenido fue purificado y caracterizado por inmunocitoquímica con un sistema enzimático, inmunofluorescencia, Cell-ELISA fluorométrica y Western blotting. Resultados. La proteína recombinante se expresó eficientemente como una proteína de fusión biotinilada de aproximadamente 50 kd, que corresponde a la forma completa de la proteína P del virus de la rabia. El anticuerpo policlonal anti-P detectó con alta especificidad la proteína P en cultivos de neuronas sensoriales infectados con el virus de la rabia. Conclusión. La proteína P recombinante expresada en E. coli se constituyó en un antígeno específico para producir un anticuerpo policlonal que reconoce la proteína P nativa en células infectadas con el virus de la rabia.

[spa] El desarrollo de biosensores para la determinación de biomarcadores de interés en el ámbito clínico es uno de los retos más importantes en el análisis de determinadas enfermedades, como las cardiovasculares. Por tanto hay una necesidad por parte del ámbito clínico de desarrollar herramientas que permitan realizar un diagnóstico y pronóstico de estas enfermedades de una manera rápida y eficaz. Además, teniendo en cuenta la portabilidad que pueden tener este tipo de dispositivos, podrían ser utilizados tanto a nivel de consultorio primario como en urgencias (dispositivos para el diagnóstico inmediato, PoC, point of care devices). Actualmente, los laboratorios centralizados usan instrumentos específicos para cada grupo de biomarcadores de la enfermedad a determinar, incrementando de esta forma el coste y el tiempo necesario para obtener un resultado. Existen evidencias de que es posible realizar un seguimiento del estado de salud y desarrollo de la enfermedad cardiovascular de un individuo mediante la monitorización de varios biomarcadores. En el caso de las enfermedades cardiovasculares, varios biomarcadores para el diagnóstico temprano o tardío han sido bien identificados, llegándose a conocer su cinética de liberación en aquellos que son indicadores de fallo cardíaco y necrosis miocárdica. En el transcurso de esta tesis doctoral, se han desarrollado anticuerpos específicos y diferentes herramientas de diagnóstico para la detección de un biomarcador prematuro de enfermedad coronaria, como es la Lipoproteína (a) (Lp(a)), y un biomarcador de etapas más avanzadas, la Troponina I Cardíaca (cTnI), claro indicador de infarto de miocardio y necrósis miocárdica. En el caso de ambas proteínas, se ha realizado un estudio en profundidad para conocer su estructura y todos los fenómenos relacionados con su inmunodetección. Finalmente, se ha conseguido producir anticuerpos específicos para cada uno de los biomarcadores y se han implementado en diferentes superficies sensoras. Para el caso de la cTnI se ha desarrollado un inmunosensor amperométrico que permite obtener un resultado fiable en tan solo 30 minutos, con una detectabilidad de 5 ng/mL. Del mismo modo, se ha desarrollado un inmunosensor potenciométrico combinando los anticuerpos producidos con distintos nanomateriales como partículas magnéticas y Quantum Dots. Para la Lp(a) se han desarrollado haptenos específicos y producido anticuerpos monoclonales de forma innovadora para la detección de este biomarcador. Del mismo modo, se ha demostrado la especificidad y validez de estos anticuerpos mediante técnicas tipo Western blot, indicando su viabilidad para el desarrollo de una herramienta de diagnóstico precoz para las ECVs., [eng] The development of biosensors for the determination of biomarkers of interest in the clinical setting is one of the most important challenges in the analysis of certain diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Therefore there is a need on the part of the clinical setting to develop tools that allow for a diagnosis and prognosis of these diseases quickly and efficiently. There is evidence that it is possible to track the status of health and development of cardiovascular disease in an individual by monitoring several biomarkers. In the case of CVDs, several biomarkers for the early or late diagnosis have been well identified. In the course of this dissertation, specific antibodies and different diagnostic tools for the detection of a biomarker of early stages of the coronary heart disease, such as lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)), and a biomarker of more advanced stages, the cardiac troponin I (cTnI), a clear indicator of myocardial infarction and myocardial necrosis, have been developed. In both cases, an in- depth study to learn about the structure and all the phenomena related with their immunodetection, has been done. Finally, antibodies specific to each of the biomarkers have been successfully produced and these antibodies have been implemented in different sensing platforms. In the case of cTnI, considered as a golden biomarker for cardiovascular risk stratification, an amperometric immunosensor has been developed allowing a reliable result in only 30 minutes, with a detectability of 5 ng/mL. In the same way, a novel potentiometric immunosensor has been developed, combining succesfully the antibodies produced against this biomarker with different nanomaterials as magnetic particles and Quantum Dots In the case of Lipoprotein (a), a macromolecular complex found in human plasma that combines structural elements from the lipoprotein and blood clotting systems and that is associated with premature coronary heart disease and stroke, a broad new specific haptens have been developed and a set of monoclonal antibodies have been produced for the detection of Lp(a). The specificity and validity of these antibodies was established by Western blot techniques, indicating their viability for the development of a tool to diagnose and stretify the risk associated to CVDs.

La detección de cambios en los niveles de un neurotransmisor, como la dopamina o de su cascada metabotrópica que se inicia con la activación de sus receptores tras la realización de una conducta o un tratamiento farmacológico en estructuras cerebrales concretas, puede ser realizada con técnicas inmunológicas. Los métodos inmunoquímicos en general se fundamentan en la utilización de anticuerpos específicos para el marcaje de una proteína concreta. En el caso de que se quiera localizar la proteína en áreas o neuronas concretas por inmunohistología, los anticuerpos unidos a enzimas (peroxidasa o fosfatasa) o a fluorocromos aplicados a cortes histológicos de cerebro, se unen a la proteína antigénica de interés permitiendo su marcaje mediante una reacción colorimétrica o emisión de fluorescencia, respectivamente. Esta técnica nos ofrece la oportunidad de realizar un mapeado cerebral y observar en qué regiones la proteína de interés está presente y en qué medida. Por ejemplo, se han utilizado estas técnicas para el marcaje y/o cuantificación de algunos marcadores dopaminérgicos, como el DARPP -32, en el núcleo accumbens. Además, esa proteína puede ser cuantificada mediante la técnica western blot (WB). El WB requiere de la homogeneización del tejido, desnaturalización de proteínas y su separación por peso molecular mediante electroforesis y da como resultado una reacción quimioluminiscente detectable por una película fotográfica. Ambas técnicas son complementarias, pues ofrecen información de localización y permiten cuantificar la proteína. Detecting changes in the levels of a neurotransmitter such as dopamine or changes in the metabotropic cascade initiated by the activation of its receptors in specific brain structures after performing a behavior or receiving a specific drug therapy, can be accomplished with immunological techniques. Immunochemical methods are based onthe affinity of antibodies for a particular protein. The antibodies are bound to a marker that provides color or fluorescence. In the immunohistological methods, after the antibody is applied to a specific brain section where the antigenic protein is localized, neurons containing the targeted protein show the color or fluorescence, and they can be identified and quantified by microscopy and imaging processing techniques. For example, these techniques have been used for the localization and quantification of some dopaminergic markers such as DARPP -32, in the nucleus accumbens. This protein can be quantified also by western blotting (WB). The WB requires tissue homogenization, protein denaturalization and separation of proteins by molecular weight with electrophoresis, and results in a detectable chemiluminescent reaction by an X-ray film. Both techniques complement each other providing information about localization, as well as quantity of protein present in the tissue.

- Abstract
Faecal immunochemical tests for haemoglobin (FIT), as an adjunct to clinical information, assist in the triage of patients presenting in primary care with lower abdominal symptoms. Controversy remains regarding whether and which qualitative and quantitative FIT can be used, which groups of patients would benefit most from FIT, whether FIT should be done in primary and/or secondary care, and how FIT should be incorporated into diagnostic pathways. Controversy also exists as to the optimum cut-off used for referral for colonoscopy. A single sample of faeces may be sufficient. Reporting of results requires consideration. FIT provide a good rule in test for colorectal cancer and a good rule out test for significant bowel disease, but robust safety-netting is required for patients with negative results and ongoing symptoms. Risk scoring models have been developed, but their value is unclear as yet. Further evaluation of these topics is required to inform good practice., (Copyright © 2018 Elsevier España, S.L.U.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a incorporação de telas de poliéster revestido em uma de suas faces por colágeno (Parietex, Covidien) e polipropileno recoberto por ácido poliglicólico (Optilene Mesh Elastic e Safil, BBD Aesculap) no reparo de defeitos da parede ventral de coelhos avaliando a cicatrização no aspecto macroscópico, o depósito de colágeno e a imunomarcação tecidual pelos anticorpos MMP-1, MMP-8 e MMP-13. MÉTODOS: Utilizaram-se 16 coelhos, divididos em dois grupos de oito animais, avaliados após eutanásia após 30 e 60 dias de pós-operatório. Os animais foram submetidos à realização de dois defeitos simétricos na parede ventral do abdome, à direita e esquerda da linha alba, que compreendendo todos os folhetos musculares e o peritônio. O reparo dos defeitos foi realizado mediante implante intraperitoneal de dois modelos diferentes de telas. Utilizou-se a tela de poliéster revestido com camada protetora de colágeno (grupo controle) e a tela de polipropilene revestido com malha de ácido poliglicólico (manufaturacao própria, grupo de experimentacao). A avaliacao constou de aspectos clínicos, achados macroscópicos, análise dos colágenos tipos I/III e avaliação imunoistoquímica de metaloproteinases. RESULTADOS: Os resultados da avaliacao clínica e os parâmetros macroscópicos foram semelhantes entre os grupos. 50% dos animais do grupo Parietex tiveram ausência de aderencias intraperitoneais a no 30° dia de pós-operatrório. Em ambos os grupos observou-se reducao das aderências entre o 30° e o 60° dias de pós-operatório, contudo sem diferenca estatística. As aderências observadas foram classificadas principalmente de frouxas. Nao se observou a ocorrencia de complicacoes envolvendo vísceras intraabdominais. No Grupo Parietex houve a ocorrência de formacao de ulceracao da pele que recobria a tela em quatro animais, em comparacao com um no grupo de experimentacao. No Grupo Parietex foi observada uma insuficiencia de reparo após 60 dias. Quanto ao depósito do colágeno tipos I e III, nao houve diferenca significativa entre os grupos. Os resultados da imunoistoquímica referentes aos anticorpos MMP-1 e MMP-8 também não demonstraram diferença significativa entre as telas. CONCLUSÃO: As duas telas pesquisadas obtiveram resultados semelhantes tanto nos aspectos macro como nos microscópicos, podendo ser consideradas semelhantes quanto ao reparo de defeitos cirúrgicos da parede ventral do abdome em coelhos.

Problema: solo conocemos tres informes para Colombia de la prueba diagnóstica de malaria Now ICT Malaria Pf/ Pv ® (NowICT); esos estudios tuvieron resultados de sensibilidad y especificidad muy diferentes. Objetivo: evaluar la capacidad diagnóstica de NowICT frente a la gota gruesa para el diagnóstico de infección plasmodial en sangres periférica materna, del cordón umbilical y placentaria. Metodología: diseño paralelo y enmascarado para evaluación de una prueba diagnóstica. El tamaño de la muestra se calculó con parámetros epidemiológicos y estadísticos y fue de 131 muestras de sangre periférica materna; también se examinaron sendas muestras de sangre placentaria y de cordón umbilical. Resultados: se evaluaron en total 386 muestras. La sensibilidad de NowICT para P. vivax no alcanzó 70% en ninguna de las fuentes (madre, placenta, cordón). La especificidad mínima fue de 99% . Los valores para P. falciparum no se calcularon porque los casos fueron pocos. Conclusión: Now ICT malaria Pf/ Pv® no es una herramienta diagnóstica útil en Colombia porque su sensibilidad para P. vivax es muy deficiente y en el país esta especie es la que predomina en la generación de malaria en humanos. Esta interpretación concuerda con las conclusiones generales de la OMS sobre el estado de desarrollo de las pruebas diagnósticas rápidas para malaria. Problem: To date, there are only three reports from Colombia about the malaria diagnostic test Now ICT Malaria Pf / Pv ® (NowICT). The results from these studies showed major differences in sensitivity and specificity Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of NowICT compared to thick smear for the diagnosis of Plasmodium infection in matched blood samples from mothers (maternal peripheral blood), umbilical cord and placenta. Methods: We used a closed (blinded/ masked) and parallel design for the evaluation of a diagnostic test. The sample size was calculated with statistical and epidemiological parameters; this consisted of 131 thick smears from maternal peripheral blood. Blood samples from placenta and umbilical cord were also studied (386 samples tested in total). Results: The sensitivity of Now ICT for detection of P. vivax was below 70% in any of the samples (maternal blood, placental blood or cord blood). The specificity was greater than 99% . Values for P. falciparum infection were not calculated since too few cases were detected. Conclusions: Now ICT Malaria Pf / Pv ® is not a useful diagnostic tool in Colombia since the sensitivity for the most frequent species in the country, P. vivax, is poor. This interpretation is consistent with the WHO's general conclusions about the state of development of rapid diagnostic tests for malaria.

Los receptores esteroidales sexuales del tracto genital de la hembra tienen importancia dado que, a través de ellos, actúan las hormonas responsables de su desarrollo y de sus cambios morfofuncionales. En su mecanismo, uno de los factores a considerar son las posibles diferencias entre las distintas especies. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar, en la especie canina (N=8), la presencia de receptores de estrógenos (RE), progesterona (RP) y la presencia de proteína ligadora de corticosteroides (CBG) en ovario, oviducto y útero de 3 hembras prepúberes (N=3) y 5 hembras adultas (N=5). La evaluación morfológica se realizó con tinción de hematoxilina-eosina (H-E) e inmunocitoquímica, según la técnica de Sternberger (1979). Los resultados revelaron en animales ciclando, inmunorreactividad (IR) positiva, RE en útero, oviducto y ovario siendo marcada en oviducto. La IR para RP fue leve y variá según el estadio del ciclo. En hembras prepúberes, los RE y RP no fueron evidenciados. La CBG mostró positividad en el tracto durante el ciclo y fue negativa en prepúberes. Se concluye que la presencia de RE y RP es detectable en útero, oviducto y ovario de la hembra canina adulta habiendo variaciones de concentración según el estadio del ciclo estral, siendo su presencia en las preúberes no evidenciable, a diferencia de otras especies (oveja), donde son detectables en este estadio del desarrollo. La presencia de CBG constante durante el ciclo estral y variable en los otros estadios indica su posible participación en los procesos reproductivos. The sexual steroid receptors of the genital tract of the female have significant importance since though them the hormones responsible acting. In their mechanism one of the factors to be kept in mind is the possible differences among the diverse species, the objective of this study was to evaluate in canine (N= 8) the presence of receptors of estrogens (ER), progesterone (PR) and the presence of corticosteroid binding globuline (CBG) in ovaries, oviduct and uterus of prepuberal female (N=.3) and matures: (N=5) It was used H-E and immunohistochemical study according to the technique of Stenberger (1979). The results during the oestrus showed: Immune reactivity (IR) positive, ER in uterus and ovary being much stronger in oviduct. The PR varied according the stage of oestrus cycle. In puberal female dog ER and PR were undetectable. The CBG revealed positive in reproductive tract of cycling females but negative in prepubertal. It was concluded that the presence of ER and PR are detectable in uterus, oviduct and ovary of mature female dogs varying their concentration according to the cycle. In prepuberal, its presences come undetectable differing from other species (ovine), in which they are detected at this stage of development. The constant of CBG presence during oeustrus cycle and such variation in other stages of the cycle, it might suggest its participation in the several reproductive activities.

Introducción: Las líneas celulares y los cultivos primarios son una excelente herramienta para el estudio de la biología, desarrollo y respuesta a la terapia en tumores cerebrales. Objetivo: Establecer y caracterizar una línea celular derivada de un glioblastoma multiforme como un modelo de estudio in vitro para la extrapolación y aplicación futura en terapia génica. Material y métodos: Se obtuvo una muestra de un paciente con diagnóstico clínico e histopatológico de glioblastoma multiforme, se caracterizó mediante inmunohistoquímica en cortes de tejido y por inmunocitoquímica sobre células cultivadas a partir del tumor desde el inicio del cultivo y durante los seis primeros pases, con dos tipos de marcadores específicos para glía: GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein) y S-100 (proteína de unión a calcio). Además, se evaluó la expresión de p53 y Bcl-2, como moduladores de apoptosis. Por último se hizo la caracterización citogenética. Resultados: Histopatológicamente, se confirmó el diagnóstico de glioblastoma multiforme. En los cultivos primarios se encontraron características citomorfológicas propias de un glioblastoma: células fibroblastoides planas, células con escaso citoplasma con 3 ó más procesos y por último bipolares o unipolares. Se encontró una expresión diferencial con los cuatro marcadores, con un patrón de marcaciones a nivel citoplasmático y nuclear a través de los pases estudiados. La línea celular se caracterizó por ser en su mayoría aneuploide con un número modal cromosómico entre 43 y 45, con un gran número de poliploidías (55-102 , XXYY) y endo-reduplicaciones (end 45, X, -Y). Conclusión: Se estableció una línea celular derivada de un glioblastoma multiforme con un fenotipo estable, con un notable mantenimiento del perfil glial y citogenético. Introduction: Cell lines and primary cultures are a useful tool for studying basic biology, development and therapy responses in cancer and nervous system tumors. Aim: To establish and characterize a human glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) derived cell line as an in vitro biological model to study nervous system cancer chemotherapy and gene therapy. Materials and methods: A resected tumor piece was obtained from a patient with clinical and histopathological diagnosis of GBM. It was processed to obtain viable cells to culture and histological sections, which were immunostained to glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP) and S-100 protein (calcium binding protein) and to evaluate expression of apoptosis related proteins p53 and Bcl-2. Finally a cytogenetic evaluation was carried out. Results: Histopathological examination confirmed classic findings of GBM. Typical cytomorphological features of GBM were found in cells of the primary cultures: bipolar or unipolar cells, flat fibroblastoid cells, process-bearing cells with scant cytoplasm and 3 or more processes. It was found a differential expression of the four markers, which had a nuclear and cytoplasmatic staining pattern throughout studied subcultures. Cell line exhibited a high level of aneuploidy with modal chromosomal number between 43-45, with presence of poliploidy (55-102 , XXYY) and endoreduplication (end 45, X, -Y). Conclusion: It was established a GBM derived cell line with a stable phenotype, maintaining morphological cell and cytogenetic characteristics.

A detailed study was made in this doctoral thesis on the development and differentiation of the vertebrate pituitary gland, with the aim to establish a fate map in Rathke's pouch of the origin of different hormone producing cells present in the adult pituitary gland, that explain if the differences observed in the distribution pattern of different hormone producing cells in the adult is the consecuence of differences in their development. For this reason, the study was made in two vertebrate groups, Mammals and Avian, that present notable differences in their hormone producing cell distribution patterns. The results allowed us to conclude that the origin of different hormone producing cells in Rathke’s pouch determine their definitive distribution in the adult gland. At the same time, the relationship between proliferation and differentiation was studied, showing us that after differentiation, hormone producing cells continue proliferating with a low rate, contributing to the establishment of differentiated populations. Using immunochemicals and in situ hidridization techniques, the expression of different molecules such as hypothalamic releasing factors; different peptides, whose role as modulators in different pituitary axis have been proposed in the adult animal; different calcium binding proteins and transcription factors in relation to the differentiation of different hormone producing cells, was also studied in this work, allowing us to establish different relationships between some of these factors and specific aspects of the development and differentiatin of the pituitary gland.

- Abstract
Objective: Detection and differentiation of various types of carbapenemases is crucial to their control and dissemination. OXA-48 is the most common carbapenemase in Spain and in our environment. The aim of this study is the evaluation of a new immunochromatographic test OXA-48 Card letitest (Coris, BioConcept Belgium) to detect this carbapenemase from solid media., Methods: During the last year 151 strains of carbapenemase producing bacteria have been isolated, of which 136 were OXA-48 (126 Klebsiella pneumoniae, 1 Klebsiella oxytoca, 5 Escherichia coli, 4 Enterobacter cloacae), and 15 producing other carbapenemases . These 15 strains with other 73 carrying other resistance mechanisms (54 extended-spectrum β-lactamases producers and 19 with other mechanisms) were used as negative controls., Results: One hundred and thirty six strains carrying OXA-48 were positive with the test OXA-48 Card letitest and the 88 species used as controls were negative, resulting in a sensitivity and specificity of 100%., Conclusions: The OXA-48 Card letitest is simple, quick, safe and cheap (approx. 6€/test) and can be used in microbiology laboratories to confirm the production of OXA-48 carbapenemase in clinical isolates.

- Abstract
Objective: To describe interval cancers (IC) and the sensitivity of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programmes., Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted through a MEDLINE (PubMed) search. The search strategy combined the terms 'interval cancer', 'false negative', 'mass screening', 'screening' 'early detection of cancer', 'colorectal cancer' and 'bowel cancer'. Inclusion criteria consisted of population-based screening programmes, original articles written in English or Spanish and publication dates between 1999/01/01 and 2015/02/28. A narrative synthesis of the included articles was performed detailing the characteristics of the screening programmes, the IC rate, and the information sources used in each study., Results: Thirteen articles were included. The episode sensitivity of CRC screening programmes ranged from 42.2% to 65.3% in programmes using the guaiac test and between 59.1% and 87.0% with the immunochemical test. We found a higher proportion of women who were diagnosed with IC and these lesions were mainly located in the proximal colon., Conclusion: There is wide variability in the IC rate in CRC programmes. To ensure comparability between programmes, there is a need for consensus on the working definition of IC and the methods used for their identification and quantification., (Copyright © 2014 SESPAS.

- Abstract
Introduction and Objectives: It has been suggested that high doses of statins can be more effective in reducing the incidence of new cardiovascular events than conventional doses. The present study analyzed the effect of increasing the atorvastatin dose to 80 mg/day on indices of inflammation (C-reactive protein or CRP), thrombogenesis (prothrombin fragment [F1+2]) and fibrinolysis (tissue-type plasminogen activator antigen, t-PA, and its inhibitor PAI-1) in high-risk patients with ischemic heart disease., Patients and Method: We studied 27 patients with high-risk coronary heart disease who had lipid levels above those recommended despite treatment with atorvastatin at 40 mg/day. At baseline, patients were compared with 21 normocholesterolemic subjects without arteriosclerotic disease. Twenty-four patients were reevaluated 3 months after the atorvastatin dose was increased to 80 mg/day., Results: The CRP, F1+2, t-PA and PAI-1 levels were significantly higher in patients than control subjects (all P<.05). After the atorvastatin dose was increased, significant reductions in CRP, F1+2, and PAI-1 levels were observed (P<.05). There was a significant positive correlation between the reduction in cholesterol level and that in F1+2 (r=0.43; P=.023). No other significant correlations were found., Conclusions: In a group of patient with high-risk heart disease and elevated lipid levels, increasing the atorvastatin dose led to significant improvements in inflammatory, thrombogenic, and hypofibrinolytic states.

- Abstract
The toxicity and immunochemical properties of Tityus pachyurus Pocock scorpion venom was characterized, as well as the neutralization capacity against it by three anti-scorpion antivenoms (Alacramyn, Instituto Bioclón, México; Suero antiescorpiónico, Instituto Butantán, Sao Paulo, Brasil; and Suero antiescorpiónico, Centro de Biotecnología, Universidad Central de Venezuela, Caracas, Venezuela). The venom yield, obtained by manual milking, 680+/-20 microg venom, a 50% lethal dose in mice was 4.8 microg/kg (90 microg for an 18-20 g mouse). The most common symptoms of venom poisoning in mice were sialorrhea, respiratory distress, profuse sweating, ataxia, behavior alterations (restlessness, somnolence) and hyperglycemia at 3 and 24 hours after subcutaneous venom injection (0.5 LD50). The neutralizing capacity of Bioclón (México City) and Butantán (Sao Paulo) antivenoms (for a 50% effective dose) was 330 and 292 microg venom/ml antivenom, respectively. The Biotecnología (Caracas) antivenom did not neutralize the lethal effect of venom. By electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was demonstrated that the venom contains proteins from less than 14 kd to 97 kd. The Western blots indicated immunological reactivity of the three antivenoms with most of venom components, including proteins of low molecular mass (<14 kd). The results allow to conclude that T. pachyurus venom is neutralized efficiently by anti-scorpion antivenoms produced in México and Brasil.

- Abstract
Cryoglobulins were measured in 29 patients (24 female, age 53.8 +/- 9.8 years) with rheumatoid arthritis (70% active). The cryoprecipitate was isolated, characterized and quantified. Cryoglobulinemia, always polyclonal or type III, was found in 83% of patients. The most frequent immunochemical isotypes found were IgG and A. Acrocyanosis was found in 50% and Raynaud phenomenon in 32% of patients with cryoglobulinemia. It is concluded that exhaustive detection of cryoglobulinemia in rheumatoid arthritis demonstrated a higher frequency than previously reported an is important for understanding pathogenesis of the disease.
