Efficacy and safety of autologous platelet rich plasma for the treatment of vascular ulcers in primary care: Phase III study

Background: Vascular ulcers are commonly seen in daily practice at all levels of care and have great impact at personal, professional and social levels with a high cost in terms of human and material resources. Given that the application of autologous platelet rich plasma has been shown to decrease healing times in various different studies in the hospital setting, we considered that it would be interesting to assess the efficacy and feasibility of this treatment in primary care. The objectives of this study are to assess the potential efficacy and safety of autologous platelet rich plasma for the treatment of venous ulcers compared to the conventional treatment (moist wound care) in primary care patients with chronic venous insufficiency (C, clinical class, E, aetiology, A, anatomy and P, pathophysiology classification C6). Design: We will conduct a phase III, open-label, parallel-group, multicentre, randomized study. The subjects will be 150 patients aged between 40 and 100 years of age with an at least 2-month history of a vascular venous ulcer assigned to ten primary care centres. For the treatment with autologous platelet rich plasma, all the following tasks will be performed in the primary care setting: blood collection, centrifugation, separation of platelet rich plasma, activation of coagulation adding calcium chloride and application of the PRP topically after gelification. The control group will receive standard moist wound care. The outcome variables to be measured at baseline, and at weeks 5 and 9 later include: reduction in the ulcer area, Chronic Venous Insufficiency Quality of Life Questionnaire score, and percentage of patients who require wound care only once a week. Discussion: The results of this study will be useful to improve the protocol for using platelet rich plasma in chronic vascular ulcers and to favour wider use of this treatment in primary care.

Landscape Genetics for the Empirical Assessment of Resistance Surfaces: The European Pine Marten (Martes martes) as a Target-Species of a Regional Ecological Network

Coherent ecological networks (EN) composed of core areas linked by ecological corridors are being developed worldwide with the goal of promoting landscape connectivity and biodiversity conservation. However, empirical assessment of the performance of EN designs is critical to evaluate the utility of these networks to mitigate effects of habitat loss and fragmentation. Landscape genetics provides a particularly valuable framework to address the question of functional connectivity by providing a direct means to investigate the effects of landscape structure on gene flow. The goals of this study are (1) to evaluate the landscape features that drive gene flow of an EN target species (European pine marten), and (2) evaluate the optimality of a regional EN design in providing connectivity for this species within the Basque Country (North Spain). Using partial Mantel tests in a reciprocal causal modeling framework we competed 59 alternative models, including isolation by distance and the regional EN. Our analysis indicated that the regional EN was among the most supported resistance models for the pine marten, but was not the best supported model. Gene flow of pine marten in northern Spain is facilitated by natural vegetation, and is resisted by anthropogenic landcover types and roads. Our results suggest that the regional EN design being implemented in the Basque Country will effectively facilitate gene flow of forest dwelling species at regional scale.

Estudos dos polimorfismos dos genes da apolipoproteína E (ApoE) e do receptor de LDL (RLDL - A370T) em indivíduos jovens pertencentes ao estudo do Rio de Janeiro em seguimento de 28 Anos

Estudos demonstram a associação de alterações da apolipoproteína E (ApoE) e do receptor do LDL (RLDL) com a ocorrência de doenças cardiovasculares e dislipidemia. O objetivo principal deste trabalho foi investigar a associação entre genótipos diferenciais da ApoE e do RLDL com a persistência de alterações de variáveis lipídicas em indivíduos jovens acompanhados há 28 anos no Estudo do Rio de Janeiro (ERJ). Através de um estudo longitudinal, tipo coorte, investigou-se 56 indivíduos (35M) em três avaliações. Em A1 (13.301.53 anos), A2 (22.091.91 anos) e A3 (31.231.99). Nas três ocasiões foi realizada avaliação clínica. Em A2 e A3 foram dosados colesterol total, HDL, LDL e triglicerídeos. Em A3 acrescentou-se o estudo dos polimorfismos genéticos da ApoE e do RLDL. Os fragmentos de interesse neste estudo foram amplificados por PCR (polymerase chain reaction) e os genótipos foram identificados através de reações de restrição. As frequências genotípicas de ApoE foram ε3/ε3 (62,5%), ε3/ε4 (25%), ε2/ε3 (5,4%) ,ε2/ε4 (5,4%) e ε4/ε4 (1,8%) e para os genótipos de RLDL foram AA (85,7%), AT (12,5%) e TT (1,8%). O genótipo ε2/ε2 não foi observado. A análise da distribuição dos genótipos de ApoE segundo a permanência de dislipidemia mostrou que todos os indivíduos com genótipo de ApoE dos tipos ε2/ε4 e ε4/ε4 mantiveram pelo menos um lípide alterado em A2 e A3 entretanto, todos os indivíduos com genótipo de ApoE do tipo ε2/ε3 não apresentaram lípides alterados em A2 e A3. Para o genótipo do RLDL não houve diferença significativa. Quando analisadas isoladamente, não foi identificado nenhum resultado significativo em A2 e/ou A3 associado a estes genótipos. O polimorfismo do gene da ApoE esteve associado à permanência de dislipidemia em indivíduos jovens acompanhados em estudo de seguimento longitudinal

In Vitro Surfactant and Perfluorocarbon Aerosol Deposition in a Neonatal Physical Model of the Upper Conducting Airways

Objective: Aerosol delivery holds potential to release surfactant or perfluorocarbon (PFC) to the lungs of neonates with respiratory distress syndrome with minimal airway manipulation. Nevertheless, lung deposition in neonates tends to be very low due to extremely low lung volumes, narrow airways and high respiratory rates. In the present study, the feasibility of enhancing lung deposition by intracorporeal delivery of aerosols was investigated using a physical model of neonatal conducting airways. Methods: The main characteristics of the surfactant and PFC aerosols produced by a nebulization system, including the distal air pressure and air flow rate, liquid flow rate and mass median aerodynamic diameter (MMAD), were measured at different driving pressures (4-7 bar). Then, a three-dimensional model of the upper conducting airways of a neonate was manufactured by rapid prototyping and a deposition study was conducted. Results: The nebulization system produced relatively large amounts of aerosol ranging between 0.3 +/- 0.0 ml/min for surfactant at a driving pressure of 4 bar, and 2.0 +/- 0.1 ml/min for distilled water (H(2)Od) at 6 bar, with MMADs between 2.61 +/- 0.1 mu m for PFD at 7 bar and 10.18 +/- 0.4 mu m for FC-75 at 6 bar. The deposition study showed that for surfactant and H(2)Od aerosols, the highest percentage of the aerosolized mass (similar to 65%) was collected beyond the third generation of branching in the airway model. The use of this delivery system in combination with continuous positive airway pressure set at 5 cmH(2)O only increased total airway pressure by 1.59 cmH(2)O at the highest driving pressure (7 bar). Conclusion: This aerosol generating system has the potential to deliver relatively large amounts of surfactant and PFC beyond the third generation of branching in a neonatal airway model with minimal alteration of pre-set respiratory support.

Novel equation to determine the hepatic triglyceride concentration in humans by MRI: diagnosis and monitoring of NAFLD in obese patients before and after bariatric surgery

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is caused by abnormal accumulation of lipids within liver cells. Its prevalence is increasing in developed countries in association with obesity, and it represents a risk factor for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Since NAFLD is usually asymptomatic at diagnosis, new non-invasive approaches are needed to determine the hepatic lipid content in terms of diagnosis, treatment and control of disease progression. Here, we investigated the potential of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to quantitate and monitor the hepatic triglyceride concentration in humans. Methods: A prospective study of diagnostic accuracy was conducted among 129 consecutive adult patients (97 obesity and 32 non-obese) to compare multi-echo MRI fat fraction, grade of steatosis estimated by histopathology, and biochemical measurement of hepatic triglyceride concentration (that is, Folch value). Results: MRI fat fraction positively correlates with the grade of steatosis estimated on a 0 to 3 scale by histopathology. However, this correlation value was stronger when MRI fat fraction was linked to the Folch value, resulting in a novel equation to predict the hepatic triglyceride concentration (mg of triglycerides/g of liver tissue = 5.082 + (432.104 * multi-echo MRI fat fraction)). Validation of this formula in 31 additional patients (24 obese and 7 controls) resulted in robust correlation between the measured and estimated Folch values. Multivariate analysis showed that none of the variables investigated improves the Folch prediction capacity of the equation. Obese patients show increased steatosis compared to controls using MRI fat fraction and Folch value. Bariatric surgery improved MRI fat fraction values and the Folch value estimated in obese patients one year after surgery. Conclusions: Multi-echo MRI is an accurate approach to determine the hepatic lipid concentration by using our novel equation, representing an economic non-invasive method to diagnose and monitor steatosis in humans.

Revisión bibliográfica del tratamiento de biogás por biofiltración.

[ES]En el siguiente trabajo se ha realizado una revisión bibliográfica en la que se muestran los resultados obtenidos al llevar a cabo la purificación del biogás y/o la eliminación del metano, en los casos en los que su valorización no sea posible, mediante métodos biológicos (biofiltración). Se recogen asimismo las diversas fuentes desde las que se genera el biogás (generación incontrolada o producción controlada) junto con las concentraciones típicas de todos los compuestos que pueden formar su composición. En la purificación del biogás se ha estudiado la eliminación de compuestos perjudiciales para el aprovechamiento energético del biogás, como son el sulfuro de hidrógeno (H2S), los mercaptanos y los siloxanos. Para el estudio de los compuestos a eliminar se ha diferenciado entre distintas configuraciones de biorreactores (biofiltros, biofiltros percoladores y biolavadores) y para cada una de ellas se han recogido datos representativos como la temperatura óptima de operación, las diferencias entre operar a pH ácido o básico (teniendo en cuenta que el pH natural de operación es ácido pero que en estas condiciones la solubilidad del H2S es menor y el relleno se deteriora con mayor rapidez). También se ha analizado la influencia de la cantidad de oxígeno necesario para garantizar la degradación total de los contaminantes y evitar la acumulación de depósitos de azufre, llegando incluso a necesitarse proporciones de O2/H2S de 49.2 para la oxidación completa del H2S. Se ha estudiado también la cantidad necesaria de nitrógeno (nutriente) en los procesos llevados a cabo en condiciones anaerobias (cercana a 200 mgN-NO3 -/L), así como el efecto que tienen los compuestos producidos en la oxidación parcial (azufre elemental (S0), metanol, formaldehido, etc.) en el funcionamiento del sistema.
