[One case of sternal hydatic cyst]

The hydatic cyst is a parasitic disease quite common in endemic countries. It is frequently situated in the liver and the lungs. Its location in the bone is rare. We report a case of a 45-year-old woman consulting for anterior cervical swelling. The diagnosis of sternal hydatic cyst was suspected through imaging and confirmed at the pathological study of the specimen. The sternal hydatic cyst is rare, the diagnosis is radiological and the treatment is surgical

Dosage de l'hemoglobine glycosylee A1C par chromatographie en phase liquide et par immunoagglutination

Glycated hemoglobin A[1]c assay is performed using HPLC on cation exchange TSK SP 5 PW column. Separation is obtained in 10 minutes using graduated elution with sodium chloride and Bis-Tris buffer. Hb A[1]c is resolved from the other hemoglobins [F, A0 and S]. Reproductibility of method is quite good and can be correlated with an immunologic method [DCA 2000]

Incidence de l'amplification du gene C-erb B2/her - 2/neu dans le cancer du sein humain

Activation of cellular proto-oncogenes can be detected in several human cancers. In the current study, alterations of C-erb B2 gene in primary human breast cancers were investigated. It was found to be amplified from 2 to 30 fold in 25% of the tumors. Correlations of gene amplification with several disease parameters was evaluated

Apport de la synthese de l'hemoglobine in vitro dans le diagnostic des thalassemies

The authors show that the, incubation techniques of reticulocytes, are able to appreciate accurately deficiency of the globin chain synthesis, so they allow to apply certainly diagnosis of thalassemia
