El artículo establece, en primer lugar, las bases de una antropología pragmática - principalmente el interés por la pregunta "¿cómo hace la gente?" - que deben orientar la investigación etnográfica. Posteriormente, describe por medio de un extracto etnográfico, diferentes prácticas en la fiesta de San Juan/Inti Raymi en Otavalo (Andes ecuatorianos). Éste, es una construcción textual elaborada a partir de una perspectiva pragmática. Por último, se desarrollan cuatro puntos que apoyan la descripción pragmática y minuciosa: la acción en situación, la superación del intelectualismo, las relaciones situacionales de poder y la co-experiencia de los lectores.

Within the Predict-IV FP7 project a strategy for measurement of in vitro biokinetics was developed, requiring the characterization of the cellular model used, especially regarding biotransformation, which frequently depends on cytochrome P450 (CYP) activity. The extrahepatic in situ CYP-mediated metabolism is especially relevant in target organ toxicity. In this study, the constitutive mRNA levels and protein localization of different CYP isoforms were investigated in 3D aggregating brain cell cultures. CYP1A1, CYP2B1/B2, CYP2D2/4, CYP2E1 and CYP3A were expressed; CYP1A1 and 2B1 represented almost 80% of the total mRNA content. Double-immunolabeling revealed their presence in astrocytes, in neurons, and to a minor extent in oligodendrocytes, confirming the cell-specific localization of CYPs in the brain. These results together with the recently reported formation of an amiodarone metabolite following repeated exposure suggest that this cell culture system possesses some metabolic potential, most likely contributing to its high performance in neurotoxicological studies and support the use of this model in studying brain neurotoxicity involving mechanisms of toxication/detoxication.
