La influencia del cine soviético de los años veinte en La aldea maldita (Florián Rey, 1930)
1992
Esta comunicación reflexiona sobre las razones que han llevado a los estudiosos a sostener la posible influencia del cine soviético de los años veinte en la película española La aldea Maldita (Florián Rey, 1930). Para ello analiza las circunstancias de producción de ambas cinematografías, española y rusa, entendidas en su contexto sociocultural. This paper reflects on the reasons that have led researchers to support the possible influence of the Soviet cinema of the twenties in the Spanish film “La aldea maldita” (The Cursed Village, Florian Rey, 1930). It looks at the circumstances of production of both cinemas, Spanish and Russian, understood in their cultural context.

Hepatic enhancement in cirrhosis in the portal venous phase: what are the differences between gadoxetate disodium and gadobenate dimeglumine?
2020
Purpose: To compare the level of parenchymal and portal venous enhancement in the portal venous phase (PVP) in cirrhotic patients undergoing gadoxetate disodium- and gadobenate dimeglumine-enhanced MRI. Methods: In this retrospective study, 84 cirrhotic patients (mean age ± SD: 66 ± 13 years) who underwent contrast-enhanced MRI with both gadoxetate disodium and gadobenate dimeglumine between 2012 and 2018 were included. Two readers measured signal intensities of hepatic parenchyma, portal vein and psoas muscle on precontrast and PVP. Relative enhancement (RE), image contrast, and portal vein-to-liver contrast difference were calculated. Intraindividual differences were compared with the Wil…

DNA delivery to 'ex vivo' human liver segments.
2011
Hydrodynamic injection is an efficient procedure for liver gene therapy in rodents but with limited efficacy in large animals, using an 'in vivo' adapted regional hydrodynamic gene delivery system. We study the ability of this procedure to mediate gene delivery in human liver segments obtained by surgical resection. Watertight liver segments were retrogradely injected from hepatic vein with a saline solution containing a plasmid bearing the enhanced green fluorescent protein (eGFP) gene, under different conditions of flow rate (1, 10 and 20 ml s(-1)) and final perfused volume. Samples were cultured for 1 to 2 days and used for microscopy and molecular analysis of gene expression. The fluore…
Dysbiosis and zonulin upregulation alter gut epithelial and vascular barriers in patients with ankylosing spondylitis
2017
BackgroundDysbiosis has been recently demonstrated in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) but its implications in the modulation of intestinal immune responses have never been studied. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of ileal bacteria in modulating local and systemic immune responses in AS.MethodsIleal biopsies were obtained from 50 HLA-B27+ patients with AS and 20 normal subjects. Silver stain was used to visualise bacteria. Ileal expression of tight and adherens junction proteins was investigated by TaqMan real-time (RT)-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Serum levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), LPS-binding protein (LPS-BP), intestinal fatty acid-BP (iFABP) and zonulin…
A BMP7 Variant Inhibits Tumor Angiogenesis In Vitro and In Vivo through Direct Modulation of Endothelial Cell Biology
2015
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), members of the TGF-β superfamily, have numerous biological activities including control of growth, differentiation, and vascular development. Using an in vitro co-culture endothelial cord formation assay, we investigated the role of a BMP7 variant (BMP7v) in VEGF, bFGF, and tumor-driven angiogenesis. BMP7v treatment led to disruption of neo-endothelial cord formation and regression of existing VEGF and bFGF cords in vitro. Using a series of tumor cell models capable of driving angiogenesis in vitro, BMP7v treatment completely blocked cord formation. Pre-treatment of endothelial cells with BMP7v significantly reduced their cord forming ability, indicating …

Establishment of a quantitative RT-pCR for detection of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 transcripts in endothelial cells after stimulation with adv…
1998
Advanced glycation endproducts (AGE) are supposed to increase endothelial expression of adhesion molecules like vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) by inducing an intracellular stress with subsequent activation of nuclear transcription factor NF-kappa-B. Quantitative analysis of VCAM-1-transcription has not been demonstrated concerning this topic. Thus, the aim of this study was to establish quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays using a spacer gene in order to measure the amounts of specific mRNA for VCAM-1 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) which were stimulated with AGE-albumin (AGE-BSA). A recombinant RNA-standard was synthesiz…
Donor/recipient algorithm for management of the middle hepatic vein in right graft live donor liver transplantation
2010
Abstract Background The aim of this study was to delineate an algorithm for donor and recipient criteria and middle hepatic vein (MHV) management in right-graft live-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) on the basis of computerized 3-dimensional computed tomographic image analysis. Methods Data on 94 consecutive right-graft LDLTs were prospectively collected. Graft and remnant data for the first 23 cases were retrospectively evaluated by means of 3-dimensional computed tomographic reconstructions, and on the basis of that preliminary series, a graft selection algorithm using 3 parameters—hepatic vein dominance classification, graft and remnant graft volume/body weight ratios, and congestion v…
