[Recommended algorithms of prescription in the diagnosis of iron deficiency and overload].

In view of the recent development of new tests of biochemistry and molecular biology the assessment of iron status should be reconsidered and updated. The French Society of Clinical Biology (SFBC) and the French Society of Hematology (Cellular Hematology Group) recommend algorithms in the diagnosis of iron deficiency and iron overload bearing in mind the best efficiency and health economy. These recommendations are based on the known sensibility and specificity of each test. The analytical requirements for the determination of the tests as well as the clinical and biological signs evoking an iron deficiency or overload are recalled.

[A cell-line with 27 chromosomes in a human acute leukemia (author's transl)].

Chromosomal analysis of the bone-marrow aspirate of a five years old girl suffering acute leukemia revealed a cell-line carrying 27 chromosomes. Banding by controlled heating denaturation showed that, in these cells, all chromosomes are haploid, except chromosomes: X, 10, 18, 21. This cell-line, not seen during remission, was found during relapse, in addition to another one with 54 chromosomes. The caryotype of this last clone corresponded to the duplication of the chromosome set found in the first cell-line. The authors discuss two problems: the possible correlations between the clinical evolution and the biological data; the problem raised by the survival and proliferation of such an hypodiploid cell-line.
