Sistemas genéticos para un nuevo abordaje del riesgo de progresión de la retinopatía diabética
Resumen Objetivo Evaluar el riesgo de progresion de la retinopatia diabetica (RD) utilizando nuevas estrategias para obtener informacion genetica en diabeticos tipo 2 (DT2) basadas en interferencia por acido ribonucleico (ARN). Material y metodos Estudio multicentrico, prospectivo de casos-controles en 132 participantes divididos en: grupo DT2 (GDT2) con RD (+RD) y sin RD (−RD) (n = 77) y grupo control (GC) (n = 55). Tras entrevista personal y examen oftalmologico, se extrajeron lagrimas para analisis molecular (expresion de micro-ARN [miARN] [miRCURY™ ARN Isolation Kit, Qiagen]). En 18 muestras (GDT2+RD = 6; GDT2–RD = 6; GC = 6) obtuvimos librerias de 137 vs. 140 pares de bases (GeneMapper…
Identificación de nuevos genes candidatos para la retinopatía en diabéticos tipo 2. Estudio Valencia sobre Retinopatía Diabética (EVRD). Informe n.° 3
Resumen Objetivo Identificar genes implicados en los mecanismos patogenicos de la retinopatia diabetica no proliferante, como estres oxidativo, alteracion de la matriz extracelular y/o apoptosis, para valorar el riesgo de desarrollo de la misma en una poblacion de diabeticos tipo 2 (DM2). Material y metodos Estudio de casos y controles en 81 participantes del Estudio Valencia sobre Retinopatia Diabetica (EVRD), de ambos sexos y con edades comprendidas entre los 25 y 85 anos, clasificados en: 1) grupo DM2 (n = 49), con RD (+RD; n = 14) y sin RD (−RD; n = 35), y 2) grupo control (GC; n = 32). Se realizo entrevista personal, examen oftalmologico estandarizado y extraccion de sangre que se proc…
The Large Hadron–Electron Collider at the HL-LHC
The Large Hadron-Electron Collider (LHeC) is designed to move the field of deep inelastic scattering (DIS) to the energy and intensity frontier of particle physics. Exploiting energy-recovery technology, it collides a novel, intense electron beam with a proton or ion beam from the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). The accelerator and interaction region are designed for concurrent electron-proton and proton-proton operations. This report represents an update to the LHeC's conceptual design report (CDR), published in 2012. It comprises new results on the parton structure of the proton and heavier nuclei, QCD dynamics, and electroweak and top-quark physics. It is shown how the LH…
Identification of new candidate genes for retinopathy in type 2 diabetics. Valencia Study on Diabetic Retinopathy (VSDR). Report number 3
Abstract Objective To identify genes involved in the pathogenic mechanisms of non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), among which include oxidative stress, extracellular matrix changes, and/or apoptosis, in order to evaluate the risk of developing this retinal disease in a type 2 diabetic (DM2) population. Material and methods A case–control study was carried out on 81 participants from the Valencia Study on Diabetic Retinopathy (VSDR) of both genders, with ages 25–85 years. They were classified into: (i) DM2 group (n = 49), with DR (+DR; n = 14) and without DR (−DR; n = 35), and (ii) control group (GC; n = 32). The protocols included a personal interview, standardized ophthalmologic…
Clinical and Molecular-Genetic Insights into the Role of Oxidative Stress in Diabetic Retinopathy: Antioxidant Strategies and Future Avenues
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) overproduction and ROS-signaling pathways activation attack the eyes. We evaluated the oxidative stress (OS) and the effects of a daily, core nutritional supplement regimen containing antioxidants and omega 3 fatty acids (A/ω3) in type 2 diabetics (T2DM). A case-control study was carried out in 480 participants [287 T2DM patients with (+)/without (−) diabetic retinopathy (DR) and 193 healthy controls (CG)], randomly assigned to a daily pill of A/ω3. Periodic evaluation through 38 months allowed to outline patient characteristics, DR features, and classic/OS blood parameters. Statistics were performed by the SPSS 24.0 program. Diabetics displayed significantly h…
Genetic systems for a new approach to risk of progression of diabetic retinopathy.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the risk of progression of diabetic retinopathy (DR) using new strategies to obtain genetic information in type 2 diabetes (T2D) based on interfering ribonucleic acid (RNA). MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective multicentre case-control study of 132 participants was distributed into: T2D with (+DR) or without (-DR) (T2DG; n=77), and a control group (CG; n=55). After an eye examination and personal interview, tears were collected for molecular analysis (expression of microRNAs [miRNAs] (miRCURY ARN Isolation Kit, Qiagen)]. Libraries, 137 vs. 140bp (GeneMapper, Applied Biosystems), were obtained in 18 samples (T2DG+DR=6; T2DG-DR=6; CG=6) by performing next-generation sequ…
