Candida albicans Increases Tumor Cell Adhesion to Endothelial Cells In Vitro: Intraspecific Differences and Importance of the Mannose Receptor

The dimorphic fungus Candida albicans is able to trigger a cytokine-mediated pro-inflammatory response that increases tumor cell adhesion to hepatic endothelium and metastasis. To check the intraspecific differences in this effect, we used an in vitro murine model of hepatic response against C. albicans, which made clear that tumor cells adhered more to endothelium incubated with blastoconidia, both live and killed, than germ tubes. This finding was related to the higher carbohydrate/protein ratio found in blastoconidia. In fact, destruction of mannose ligand residues on the cell surface by metaperiodate treatment significantly reduced tumor cell adhesion induced. Moreover, we also noticed that the effect of clinical strains was greater than that of the reference one. This finding could not be explained by the carbohydrate/protein data, but to explain these differences between strains, we analyzed the expression level of ten genes (ADH1, APE3, IDH2, ENO1, FBA1, ILV5, PDI1, PGK1, QCR2 and TUF1) that code for the proteins identified previously in a mannoprotein-enriched pro-metastatic fraction of C. albicans. The results corroborated that their expression was higher in clinical strains than the reference one. To confirm the importance of the mannoprotein fraction, we also demonstrate that blocking the mannose receptor decreases the effect of C. albicans and its mannoproteins, inhibiting IL-18 synthesis and tumor cell adhesion increase by around 60%. These findings could be the first step towards a new treatment for solid organ cancers based on the role of the mannose receptor in C. albicans-induced tumor progression and metastasis.

Las indicaciones de origen protegidas como elemento de diferenciación de los productos agroalimentarios: el caso del jamón en España

El origen es una de las estrategias utilizadas tradicionalmente por parte de los productos agroalimentarios para diferenciar una oferta de otra en el mercado. En nuestro país existen más de 140 Indicaciones de Origen reconocidas por la Comisión Europea que abarcan diferentes alimentos y bebidas. De todas ellas, las seis denominaciones de jamón existentes aportan casi el 15% del valor económico conjunto, aún suponiendo únicamente el 4,26% del total. A partir del análisis cuantitativo, y del desarrollo de un análisis DAFO del sector, se realiza una reflexión acerca del papel que el origen puede jugar como elemento de diferenciación y se ofrecen recomendaciones prácticas para incrementar el conocimiento y la notoriedad de las denominaciones en el mercado

Las prácticas en empresas: una realidad emergente

Este artículo trata sobre las prácticas en empresas. En el caso de la Escuela Universitaria de Estudios Empresariales de San Sebastián son voluntarias. Este carácter facultativo imprime un doble carácter a estas prácticas: por una parte, toda persona que manifiesta su deseo de hacer una práctica es consciente de que su consecución representa un acto de opción por cuanto que precisará de un determinado número de horas en su desarrollo, y por otra, directamente relacionada con la anterior, la convicción de que, entre varias alternativas la de las prácticas, es una vía que les ayuda en su proceso de formación.

Gipuzkoako Udalen aurrekontuen analisia: 2008-2012 epealdia

Jada sei urte igaro dira azkeneko hamarkadetan pairatu dugun krisialdi ekonomiko gogorrena iritsi zela eta, kimuak kimu, oraindik ere egundoko sarraskiak sorrarazten dihardu. Urakan bat bailitzan agertu zen gure artean eta guztiongan aparteko eragina izan du: gure kontzientzia ekonomikoa astintzeaz gain orain arte normaltzat ematen genituen hainbat portaera kolokan jarri ditu. Kaltetuen zerrenda luze horretan herritarrengandik gertuen dauden erakunde publikoak agertzen dira: udalak. Artikulu honetan krisiak Gipuzkoako udalen finantza-egoeretan izan duen eragina aztertuko da, eragin negatiboa pairatu zuten lehendabiziko urtetik abiatu (2008) eta aurrekontu likidatuak dauzkagun azkeneko urtera (2012) iritsi arte. Udalen egoera ekonomiko-finantzarioa zein den jakiteko baliagarriak diren, transferentzia arruntekiko menpekotasuna, funtzionamendu gastuak, aurrezki gordina, aurrezki garbia, legezko zorpetze maila, zor bizia eta gastu orokorretarako diruzaintza-gerakina adierazleen egoera eta bilakaerak aurkeztuko dira.

Downscaling of surface moisture flux and precipitation in the Ebro Valley (Spain) using analogues and analogues followed by random forests and multiple linear regression

In this paper, reanalysis fields from the ECMWF have been statistically downscaled to predict from large-scale atmospheric fields, surface moisture flux and daily precipitation at two observatories (Zaragoza and Tortosa, Ebro Valley, Spain) during the 1961-2001 period. Three types of downscaling models have been built: (i) analogues, (ii) analogues followed by random forests and (iii) analogues followed by multiple linear regression. The inputs consist of data (predictor fields) taken from the ERA-40 reanalysis. The predicted fields are precipitation and surface moisture flux as measured at the two observatories. With the aim to reduce the dimensionality of the problem, the ERA-40 fields have been decomposed using empirical orthogonal functions. Available daily data has been divided into two parts: a training period used to find a group of about 300 analogues to build the downscaling model (1961-1996) and a test period (19972001), where models' performance has been assessed using independent data. In the case of surface moisture flux, the models based on analogues followed by random forests do not clearly outperform those built on analogues plus multiple linear regression, while simple averages calculated from the nearest analogues found in the training period, yielded only slightly worse results. In the case of precipitation, the three types of model performed equally. These results suggest that most of the models' downscaling capabilities can be attributed to the analogues-calculation stage.

Somatisation in primary care: experiences of primary care physicians involved in a training program and in a randomised controlled trial

Background: A new intervention aimed at managing patients with medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) based on a specific set of communication techniques was developed, and tested in a cluster randomised clinical trial. Due to the modest results obtained and in order to improve our intervention we need to know the GPs' attitudes towards patients with MUS, their experience, expectations and the utility of the communication techniques we proposed and the feasibility of implementing them. Physicians who took part in 2 different training programs and in a randomised controlled trial (RCT) for patients with MUS were questioned to ascertain the reasons for the doctors' participation in the trial and the attitudes, experiences and expectations of GPs about the intervention. Methods: A qualitative study based on four focus groups with GPs who took part in a RCT. A content analysis was carried out. Results: Following the RCT patients are perceived as true suffering persons, and the relationship with them has improved in GPs of both groups. GPs mostly valued the fact that it is highly structured, that it made possible a more comfortable relationship and that it could be applied to a broad spectrum of patients with psychosocial problems. Nevertheless, all participants consider that change in patients is necessary; GPs in the intervention group remarked that that is extremely difficult to achieve. Conclusion: GPs positively evaluate the communication techniques and the interventions that help in understanding patient suffering, and express the enormous difficulties in handling change in patients. These findings provide information on the direction in which efforts for improving intervention should be directed.
