The aim of this study was to determine semiquantitatively megakaryocyte glycogen and related parameters as an aid to diagnosis and treatment of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). The tests were applied to 100 patients diagnosed with ITP from various hospitals and clinics, and 100 apparently healthy subjects who was gave informed consent according to the Declaration of Helsinki. Investigating the presence of glycogen in megakaryocytes of bone marrow smears using the method of peryodic acid-Schiff and complementary tests of hemostasis: platelets by the method of Rees-Ecker, mean platelet volume (MPV) using the automatic analyzer Sysmex XE-2100, prothrombin time, partial thromboplastin time (PTT), bleeding time, fibrinogen, hemoglobin and red blood cell count by the usual methods. We conclude that patients with ITP megakaryocyte glycogen had decreased (100%), alterations in some coa...

Se determinaron las concentraciones séricas de colesterol total (CT) y triglicéridos de 400 personas que acudieron a un centro asistencial del Cercado de Lima, en Lima Metropolitana, con edades comprendidas entre 20 y 70 años, entre los meses de octubre de 2008 a enero de 2009 y se relacionaron dichos parámetros bioquímicos con las siguientes variables: edad, sexo e índice de masa corporal (IMC). Los valores medios obtenidos fueron: CT: 169,66 mg/dL; triglicéridos: 161,76 mg/dL, e IMC: 27,01 kg/m2. Se encontró que para el CT, 60,5% tenía niveles normales y 39,5% presentaba hipercolesterolemia. Para los triglicéridos, 50,8% tenía niveles normales y 49,3% tuvo hipertrigliceridemia. En cuanto al IMC, 2% tenía IMC bajo; 34,8% IMC normal; 38% sobrepeso y 25,3% obesidad. Se halló relación estadísticamente significativa al confrontar los niveles séricos del CT con la edad (p=0.0...

ABO and Rhesus blood group system were determined from 3655 patients attending The Assitentíal Service of Clinical Ana1ysis bclonging to Facultad de Farmacia y Bioquímica of Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos in the period of time betwccn 2003 and 2005, the goal of this study was to estímate the frequency of blood group system ABO and Rh in the population under study and to compare our findings with other investigations. It was used specific anti serum; moreover, all test were conducted following conventional methodology. The statistic analysis of results provided the following frequencies: 73.36%0+, 0.38%0-, 18.85%A+, 0.27 A-, 5.85%B+ and 1.45%AB%+. The differences of frequencies of ABO and Rh blood system were related to the Peruvian geographic region to which patients carne from. Also, it was found slight differences when thc results obtained from this investigation were comp...

Biochemical tests were performed to assess the hepatic performance of 50 native subjects from highlands (Community Villa Junín, 4105 m) and a similar group from sea level (Lima, 150 m). In fasting state were determined albumin concentration and the performance of hepatic enzymes, GPT, GOT, ALP, GGT and LDH. Were found significant differences between these parameters; with major difference in albumin, GPT, LDH and lower for FA, comparing natives from highlands front to the ones from level of sea. We also found differences between enzymatic activities of GOT, GPT, LDH and FA according to gender, age and place of origin of the subjects at 95% confidence. Exists correlation between the values of GOT and GGT, and between GPT and GGT, for the native subjects from highlands. Likewise a correlation between GPT and FA, between GOT and GPT; and between albumin and GGT, for subjects from the level...
