Analysis of a soluble lipid-protein complex carrying endogenous 11-cis retinaldehyde from bovine retinal pigment epithelium.
1989
A soluble lipid-protein complex in bovine retinal pigment epithelium is shown to carry endogenous 11-cis retinaldehyde, in the extent of 15% of the total 11-cis retinaldehyde found in this tissue. The complex, analyzed with respect to its chemical composition, exhibits a lipid composition close resembling the lipid composition of the rod outer segment membrane; the SDS-PAGE evidences the presence of a number of protein bands, two of which of 34 and 27 kDa appear glycoproteins. Finally, the lipid-protein complex exhibits a discrete level of a Cathepsin D-like protease activity. From the above, the possibility is discussed that the soluble lipid-protein complex could represent some phagolysos…
Is COVID‐19 infection more severe in kidney transplant recipients?
2021
International audience; There are no studies which have compared the risk of severe Covid-19 and related mortality between transplant recipients and non-transplant patients. We enrolled two groups of patients hospitalized for Covid-19, i.e., kidney transplant recipients from the French Registry of Solid Organ Transplant (n=306) and a single-center cohort of non-transplant patients (n=795). An analysis was performed among subgroups matched for age and risk factors for severe Covid-19 or mortality. Severe Covid-19 was defined as admission (or transfer) to an intensive care unit, need for mechanical ventilation, or death.Transplant recipients were younger and had more comorbidities compared to…
Neural Mechanisms of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Chronic Pain: A Network-Based fMRI Approach
2021
AbstractOver 100 million Americans suffer from chronic pain (CP), which causes more disability than any other medical condition in the U.S. at a cost of $560-$635 billion per year (IOM, 2011). Opioid analgesics are frequently used to treat CP. However, long term use of opioids can cause brain changes such as opioid-induced hyperalgesia that, over time, increase pain sensation. Also, opioids fail to treat complex psychological factors that worsen pain-related disability, including beliefs about and emotional responses to pain. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be efficacious for CP. However, CBT generally does not focus on important factors needed for long-term functional improvement, i…

Memoria y paz. Perspectivas decoloniales en la construcción de la memoria colectiva
2018
The objective of this article is to analyse methodological principles in studies that link the construction of memory with decolonisation. Based on two decolonial approaches, the colonial and epistemic difference, a comparative study of collaborative research on memory in Latin America was carried out. This analysis contributes to the conceptual-critical reflection of the construction of memory in a decolonial framing and presents through innovative methodologies meaning shifts of official narratives. In conclusion, it proposes the integration of the territorial dimension and the subjectivity of the participants and their communities as a way of transformation towards peaceful societies
Decomposition Process of Carboxylate MOF HKUST-1 Unveiled at the Atomic Scale Level
2016
HKUST-1 is a metal-organic framework (MOF) which plays a significant role both in applicative and basic fields of research, thanks to its outstanding properties of adsorption and catalysis but also because it is a reference material for the study of many general properties of MOFs. Its metallic group comprises a pair of Cu2+ ions chelated by four carboxylate bridges, forming a structure known as paddle-wheel unit, which is the heart of the material. However, previous studies have well established that the paddle-wheel is incline to hydrolysis. In fact, the prolonged exposure of the material to moisture promotes the hydrolysis of Cu-O bonds in the paddle-wheels, so breaking the crystalline n…

Presentiamo la nostra esperienza riguardo la progettazione e l'utilizzo di un plug-in per il software open-source di visualizzazione di immagini DICOM (OsiriX 32-bit; GNU General Public License) per la valutazione dei criteri dimensionali e densitometrici di metastasi epatiche in TCMS.
Methyl Radical in Clathrate Silica Voids. The Peculiar Physisorption Features of the Guest-Host Molecular Dynamics Interaction.
2016
EPR line shape simulations of CH3/SiO2 clathrates and comparison to CH3/N2O and CH3/SiO2 experiments reveal the motional conditions of the CH3 radical up to the unusual regime of its stability, the high-temperature diffusional regime, at 300 K. In the low-temperature region, the CH3 in clathrates is found to rotate around the in-plane axes even at as low temperatures as 3.8 K. However, nonrotating methyls performing only libration about the C2-axes as well as around the C3-axis are also found, proving the existence of special sites in the clathrate voids that begin to accumulate a significant fraction of methyl radicals at temperatures below approximately 7 K. A distinctive feature in the s…
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis and its distribution in healthy subjects
2016
Mūsdienās Staphylococcus epidermidis ir nozīmīgs oportūnistiskais patogēns. Tas ir viens no biežākajiem nozokomiālo infekciju izraisītājiem. Staphylococcus epidermidis celmu vidū plaši izplatīta ir rezistence pret antibakteriālajiem līdzekļiem. Maģistra darba mērķis bija izpētīt meticilīna rezistentā Staphylococcus epidermidis izplatību veseliem cilvēkiem. Meticilīna rezistentais Staphylococcus epidermidis netika konstatēts nevienā acs apakšējā plaksta konjunktīvā. Meticilīna rezistentais Staphylococcus epidermidis tika konstatēts 5 no 42 degunu nāšu paraugiem, kas sastāda 11.9% ± 5%. 1 no 5 meticilīna rezistentajiem Staphylococcus epidermidis paraugiem, kas sastāda 20.0% ± 17.9%, bija biop…
