[Late p53 mutation in head and neck oncogenesis].

p53 mutation are currently recognized as the commonest genetic event in human tumors. In this paper are studied, through immunochemistry, the p53 protein expression of 25 carriers from squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx and hypopharynx as well in the non tumoral mucosa of the larynx removed and corresponding metastases. Because of the great overexpression of this protein among tumors and its metastases, aside with the low expression in normal far-off mucous membranes of the studied growths, the AA. draw out the conclusion that p53 mutation is a late event by neck and head oncogenesis.

[Evaluation of a totally automated alternative system for determining the rate of erythrocyte sedimentation].

The Ves-MaticR system (VS) for evaluating erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is compared to Westergren method. A good correlation between both methods is obtained in spite of small differences observed; the accuracy of the VS is also studied. Concerning the time variation, a small reduction of the ESR in the first seven hours is observed, being significant at 24 hours. The most important advantages of the VS are the near complete disappearance of the contamination risk, the reduction of the time employed in setting up, sedimentation and reading, and the reliability.
