Aspectos importantes de la anatomía funcional del abdomen para la actividad física

El propósito de ésta ponencia es analizar cuestiones que posiblemente estén estrechamente vinculadas con una problemática que actualmente sufre gran parte de la población, que son los dolores lumbares y cómo profesionales del campo de la Educación física, podemos aportar análisis, ideas y ejercicios concretos para su prevención. Pasando por una breve introducción de anatomía descriptiva y funcional de la zona, me enfocaré tanto en la filogénesis, como en la óntogenesis del ser humano y, a partir de allí, me detengo en destacar el papel fundamental que desarrollan los músculos intrínsecos, de sostén y estabilizadores del complejo lumbo pélvico y el hecho de generar engramas motores que anticipen la contracción (protección) de dichos músculos antes de cualquier movimiento en el que se requiera movimiento de grandes masas musculares

Molecular characterization of a mutable pigmentation phenotype and isolation of the first active transposable element from Sorghum bicolor

Accumulation of red phlobaphene pigments in sorghum grain pericarp is under the control of the Y gene. A mutable allele of Y, designated as y-cs (y-candystripe), produces a variegated pericarp phenotype. Using probes from the maize p1 gene that cross-hybridize with the sorghum Y gene, we isolated the y-cs allele containing a large insertion element. Our results show that the Y gene is a member of the MYB-transcription factor family. The insertion element, named Candystripe1 (Cs1), is present in the second intron of the Y gene and shares features of the CACTA superfamily of transposons. Cs1 is 23,018 bp in size and is bordered by 20-bp terminal inverted repeat sequences. It generated a 3-bp target site duplication upon insertion within the Y gene and excised from y-cs, leaving a 2-bp footprint in two cases analyzed. Reinsertion of the excised copy of Cs1 was identified by Southern hybridization in the genome of each of seven red pericarp revertant lines tested. Cs1 is the first active transposable element isolated from sorghum. Our analysis suggests that Cs1-homologous sequences are present in low copy number in sorghum and other grasses, including sudangrass, maize, rice, teosinte, and sugarcane. The low copy number and high transposition frequency of Cs1 imply that this transposon could prove to be an efficient gene isolation tool in sorghum.

msg1, a novel melanocyte-specific gene, encodes a nuclear protein and is associated with pigmentation.

Messenger RNA transcripts of the highly pigmented murine melanoma B16-F1 cells were compared with those from their weakly pigmented derivative B16-F10 cells by differential display. A novel gene called msg1 (melanocyte-specific gene) was found to be expressed at high levels in B16-F1 cells but at low levels in B16-F10 cells. Expression of msg1 was undetectable in the amelanotic K1735 murine melanoma cells. The pigmented murine melanocyte cell line melan-a expressed msg1, as did pigmented primary cultures of murine and human melanocytes; however, seven amelanotic or very weakly pigmented human melanoma cell lines were negative. Transformation of murine melanocytes by transfection with v-Ha-ras or Ela was accompanied by depigmentation and led to complete loss of msg1 expression. The normal tissue distribution of msg1 mRNA transcripts in adult mice was confined to melanocytes and testis. Murine msg1 and human MSG1 genes encode a predicted protein of 27 kDa with 75% overall amino acid identity and 96% identity within the C-terminal acidic domain of 54 amino acids. This C-terminal domain was conserved with 76% amino acid identity in another protein product of a novel human gene, MRG1 (msg1-related gene), isolated from normal human melanocyte cDNA by 5'-rapid amplification of cDNA ends based on the homology to msg1. The msg1 protein was localized to the melanocyte nucleus by immunofluorescence cytochemistry. We conclude that msg1 encodes a nuclear protein, is melanocyte-specific, and appears to be lost in depigmented melanoma cells.

The genetic basis of epidermolysis bullosa simplex with mottled pigmentation.

Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is a group of autosomal dominant skin diseases characterized by blistering, due to mechanical stress-induced degeneration of basal epidermal cells. It is now well-established that the three major subtypes of EBS are genetic disorders of the basal epidermal keratins, keratin 5 (K5) and keratin 14 (K14). Here we show that a rare subtype, referred to as EBS with mottled pigmentation (MP), is also a disorder of these keratins. Affected members of two seemingly unrelated families with EBS-MP had a C to T point mutation in the second base position of codon 24 of one of two K5 alleles, leading to a Pro: Leu mutation. This mutation was not present in unaffected members nor in 100 alleles from normal individuals. Linkage analyses mapped the defect to this type II keratin gene (peak logarithm of odds score at phi = 0 of 3.9), which is located on chromosome 12q11-q13. This provides strong evidence that this mutation is responsible for the EBS-MP phenotype. Only conserved between K5 and K6, and not among any of the other type II keratins, Pro-24 is in the nonhelical head domain of K5, and only mildly perturbs the length of 10-nm keratin filaments assembled in vitro. However, this part of the K5 head domain is likely to protrude on the filament surface, perhaps leading to additional aberrations in intermediate filament architecture and/or in melanosome distribution that are seen ultrastructurally in patients with the mutation.

Mutations in the rotated abdomen locus affect muscle development and reveal an intrinsic asymmetry in Drosophila.

In bilateral animals, the left and right sides of the body usually present asymmetric structures, the genetic bases of whose generation are still largely unknown [CIBA Foundation (1991) Biological Asymmetry and Handedness, CIBA Foundation Symposium 162 (Wiley, New York), pp. 1-327]. In Drosophila melanogaster, mutations in the rotated abdomen (rt) locus cause a clockwise helical rotation of the body. Even null alleles are viable but exhibit defects in embryonic muscle development, rotation of the whole larval body, and helical staggering of cuticular patterns in abdominal segments of the adult. rotated abdomen is expressed in the embryonic mesoderm and midgut but not in the ectoderm; it encodes a putative integral membrane glycoprotein (homologous to key yeast mannosyltransferases). Mesodermal cells defective in O-glycosylation lead to an impaired larval muscular system. We propose that the staggering of the adult abdominal segments would be a consequence of the relaxation of intrinsic rotational torque of muscle architecture, preventing the colateral alignment of the segmental histoblast cells during their proliferation at metamorphosis.

Aprendizaje asistido por pares cercanos como estrategia para el desarrollo de un curso de anatomía humana de abdomen

La demanda de matrícula para ingresar a estudiar la carrera de medicina ha aumentado sustancialmente, además de ser siempre una carrera muy atractiva para la población estudiantil. Esta demanda ha hecho que aumenten las presiones sociales para que las universidades públicas abran más espacios e incrementen la matricula, sin considerar la necesidad de cambios en la infraestructura y el aumento que genera en la plantilla docente. Teniendo en cuenta estas presiones sociales y siguiendo la directriz de lo que hoy en día es la visión 2020 de la Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León, la cual se sustenta en un eje transversal basado en la innovación académica, con grupos pequeños y con atención personalizada para el alumno, y con dos ejes estructuradores en donde la educación se centra en el aprendizaje y las competencias, nos vemos obligados a considerar técnicas de enseñanza con la intención de cubrir las necesidades elementales para dicho fin. Lo anteriormente expuesto parece indicar que vamos en direcciones opuestas, pues por un lado se incrementa la matrícula y por el otro se implementan grupos pequeños centrados en la atención personalizada del alumno, además la infraestructura de las escuelas públicas no crece de acuerdo a esta demanda y se tiene el mismo número de maestros...

Genomic amplification of the caprine EDNRA locus might lead to a dose dependent loss of pigmentation

The South African Boer goat displays a characteristic white spotting phenotype, in which the pigment is limited to the head. Exploiting the existing phenotype variation within the breed, we mapped the locus causing this white spotting phenotype to chromosome 17 by genome wide association. Subsequent whole genome sequencing identified a 1 Mb copy number variant (CNV) harboring 5 genes including EDNRA. The analysis of 358 Boer goats revealed 3 alleles with one, two, and three copies of this CNV. The copy number is correlated with the degree of white spotting in goats. We propose a hypothesis that ectopic overexpression of a mutant EDNRA scavenges EDN3 required for EDNRB signaling and normal melanocyte development and thus likely lead to an absence of melanocytes in the non-pigmented body areas of Boer goats. Our findings demonstrate the value of domestic animals as reservoir of unique mutants and for identifying a precisely defined functional CNV.

Effect of salinity on growth, pigmentation, N2 fixation and alkaline phosphatase activity of cultured Trichodesmium sp

Trichodesmium sp. isolated from the Great Barrier Reef lagoon was cultured in artificial seawater media containing a range of salinities. Trichodesmium sp. actively grew over a wide range of salinities (22 to 43 psu) and hence can be classed as euryhaline. Maximum growth occurred with salinities in the range 33 to 37 psu. Chl a content and alkaline phosphatase activity were found to increase with salinity over the range 22 to 43 psu, but the N-2 fixation rate was reduced at salinities below and above the range for maximum growth. Growth in media exhibiting maximum growth was characterised by well-dispersed cultures of filaments, while significant aggregations of filaments formed in other media. It is proposed that the tendency for Trichodesmium filaments to aggregate in media with salinities outside the range for maximum growth is an opportunistic response to a deficiency of cellular nitrogen, which results from the reduced N-2 fixation rates, and the aggregation occurs in order to enhance the uptake of combined N released within the aggregates and/or the N-2 fixation within the aggregates.
