A Memorial for William V. Sliter

William V. (Bill) Sliter, an internationally known micropaleontologist and research geologist for the U.S. Geological Survey, passed away suddenly, October, 1997, while talking to a colleague in his office. In his honor, B. Huber, T. Bralower, and M. Leckie organized a keynote symposium ‘‘Paleoecological and Geochemical Signatures of Cretaceous Anoxic Events’’ at the 1998 annual meeting of the Geological Society of America in Toronto, Canada. This theme issue of the Journal of Foraminiferal Research contains the published papers from the symposium and is dedicated to his memory.

La brecha entre el reconocimiento y la implementación de los derechos territoriales de los pueblos indígenas: análisis sobre su configuración en las normas, las políticas y los jueces, tras la aprobación de la Constitución Política de 1991

La del acceso a la tierra y su distribución, ha sido una problemática transversal a la historia de los conflictos sociales en el país. En el caso de los pueblos indígenas, la existencia de todo un marco jurídico nacional e internacional que reconoce sus derechos territoriales, así como de importantes avances que a este punto se han producido en cuanto a titulación de tierras de resguardo en nuestro país, fueron dos factores que invitaron a preguntarnos en este trabajo por las dinámicas que, a pesar de ello, subyacen a un permanente desconocimiento de tales derechos. Con este objeto, en él se caracterizan las disputas que, desarrolladas en el marco del ordenamiento jurídico e institucional de la Constitución Política de 1991, han llevado a la existencia de una contraposición entre el reconocimiento y la eficacia de los derechos territoriales de los pueblos indígenas en Colombia. Desde una perspectiva crítica, la mirada propuesta presenta un abordaje a tales disputas que abarca una aproximación a sus antecedentes históricos y posterior configuración a instancias de la expedición de las normas, la formulación de las políticas y el ejercicio del control judicial constitucional, en los años posteriores a 1991. Resultado de tal caracterización, se demuestra de qué manera dichas pugnas, que tienen expresiones normativas, administrativas y judiciales, y a su vez son determinadas por factores sociales, políticos, económicos y culturales, han llevado a la existencia en nuestro país, de una brecha de implementación de tales derechos.

Los cursos de Biología B.S.C.S. (Biological Sciences Curriculum Study).

Se desarrollan los objetivos del BSCS (Biological Sciences Curriculum Study), que surge para dar solución al problema de la enorme expansión de conocimientos y la limitación de tiempo y capacidad de los estudiantes. Se crea en 1958 en el Instituto Americano de Ciencias Biológicas, y en él se exponen los conocimientos y la experiencia de cientos de profesores y biólogos profesionales, con el fin de lograr un conocimiento más racional y significativo de la Biología.

Stromal-derived factor-1 alpha (CXCL12) levels increase in periodontal disease

Background: The CXC chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) and its ligand, stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1 alpha or CXC chemokine ligand 12) are involved in the trafficking of leukocytes into and out of extravascular tissues. The purpose of this study was to determine whether SDF-1 alpha secreted by host cells plays a role in recruiting inflammatory cells into the periodontia during local inflammation. Methods: SDF-1 alpha levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of 24 individuals with periodontitis versus healthy individuals in tissue biopsies and in a preclinical rat model of Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide-induced experimental bone loss. Neutrophil chemotaxis assays were also used to evaluate whether SDF-1 alpha plays a role in the recruitment of host cells at periodontal lesions. Results: Subjects with periodontal disease had higher levels of SDF-1 alpha in their GCF compared to healthy subjects. Subjects with periodontal disease who underwent mechanical therapy demonstrated decreased levels of SDF-1 alpha. Immunohistologic staining showed that SDF-1 alpha and CXCR4 levels were elevated in samples obtained from periodontally compromised individuals. Similar results were observed in the rodent model. Neutrophil migration was enhanced in the presence of SDF-1 alpha, mimicking immune cell migration in periodontal lesions. Conclusions: SDF-1 alpha may be involved in the immune defense pathway activated during periodontal disease. Upon the development of diseased tissues, SDF-1 alpha levels increase and may recruit host defensive cells into sites of inflammation. These studies suggest that SDF-1 alpha may be a useful biomarker for the identification of periodontal disease progression.

Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans lipopolysaccharide-mediated experimental bone loss model for aggressive periodontitis

Background: Bacterial constituents, such as Gram-negative derived lipopolysaccharide (LPS), can initiate inflammatory bone loss through induction of host-derived inflammatory cytokines. The aim of this study was to establish a model of aggressive inflammatory alveolar bone loss in rats using LPS derived from the periodontal pathogen Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans.Methods: Eighteen female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into LPS test (N = 12) and saline control (N = 6) groups. All artimals received injections to the palatal molar gingiva three times per week for 8 weeks. At 8 weeks, linear and volumetric alveolar bone loss was measured by micro-computed tomography (mu CT). The prevalence of inflammatory infiltrate, proinflammatory cytokines, and osteoclasts was assessed from hematoxylin and eosin, immunohistochemical, or tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-stained sections. Statistical analysis was performed.Results: A. actinomycetemcomitans LPS induced severe bone loss over 8 weeks, whereas control groups were unchanged. Linear and volumetric analysis of maxillae by mu CT indicated significant loss of bone with LPS, administration. Histologic examination revealed increased inflammatory infiltrate, significantly increased immunostaining for interleukin IL-6 and -1 beta and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and more TRAP-positive osteoclasts in the LPS group compared to controls.Conclusion: Oral injections of LPS derived from the periodontal pathogen A. actinomycetemcomitans can induce severe alveolar bone loss and proinflammatory cytokine production in rats by 8 weeks.
