ABSTRACT

El Programa de Neurolépticos de Acción prolongada (NAP) es único en su género en el país. Nació con el propósito de evitar las recaídas y posteriores hospitalizaciones y evitar la larga permanencia de pacientes psicóticos en el Hospital "Víctor Larco Herrera". Si bien estos propósitos se mantuvieron, el programa necesitó de una reorganización que mejorase sus procesos. En la actualidad, el número de pacientes casi llega a los 500 y a pesar de que el sistema hospitalario aún acoge la idea de los programas organizados y sistematizados y no haberse desenvuelto al óptimo de su capacidad, el Programa NAP ha demostrado su eficiencia al conseguir con pocos recursos, una organización y un equipo cohesionado, disminuir los modos y frecuencias de aplicación, elevar el cumplimiento, disminuir las hospitalizaciones y contribuir a crear más conciencia de enfermedad en sus pacientes. Esperamos que en el futuro se creen en nuestro Hospital más programas que sistematicen y especialicen la atención en beneficio de los pacientes que acuden a él.

ABSTRACT

Background: The most important identified pathogenic factor for breast cancer is the presence of mutations in BRCA1 gene. These are associated with familial breast cancer in up to 80 percent of cases. The most frequent mutation of BRCA1 gene in Caucasian populations is the exon 2 185AG deletion. Aim: To study the presence of 185AG deletion in Chilean women with sporadic or familial breast cancer. Patients and methods: We studied 15 women with familial breast cancer, in whom at least one close relative was affected, and 40 women with sporadic breast cancer. In genomic DNA obtained from a blood sample, an allele specific polymerase chain reaction was done. This reaction allows the identification of 185AG deletion and uses two pairs of primers. One for the native form that renders a 118 base pairs product and one for the deletion that renders a 170 base pairs product, both with a respective 280 base pairs internal control. Results: The diagnosis of breast cancer was done at 40ñ5 and 65ñ10 years old in women with familial and sporadic breast cancer, respectively. In none of the samples, the amplification of the 170 base pairs band that corresponds to 185AG deletion, was obtained. In both groups, the product of the amplification was the 118 base pairs band, that corresponds to the native form of BRCA1 gene. The polymerase chain reaction was optimized for a duration of 90 minutes. Conclusions: 185AG deletion of BRCA1 gene was not detected in this group of Chilean women with sporadic or familial breast cancer
