Mucin 1 deficiency mediates corticosteroid insensitivity in asthma
2019
BACKGROUND: The loss of corticosteroid efficacy is an important issue in severe asthma management and may lead to poor asthma control and deterioration of airflow. Recent data indicate that Mucin 1 (MUC1) membrane mucin can mediate corticosteroid efficacy in chronic rhinosinusitis, but the role of MUC1 in uncontrolled severe asthma is unknown. The objective was to analyze the previously unexplored role of MUC1 on corticosteroid efficacy in asthma. METHODS: Mucin 1 expression was evaluated by real-time PCR in human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC) and blood neutrophils from uncontrolled severe asthma (n=27), controlled mild asthma (n=16), and healthy subjects (n=13). IL-8, MMP9, and GM-CSF …

Dexamethasone premedication suppresses vaccine-induced immune responses against cancer
2020
ABSTRACT Glucocorticosteroids (GCS) have an established role in oncology and are administered to cancer patients in routine clinical care and in drug development trials as co-medication. Given their strong immune-suppressive activity, GCS may interfere with immune-oncology drugs. We are developing a therapeutic cancer vaccine, which is based on a liposomal formulation of tumor-antigen encoding RNA (RNA-LPX) and induces a strong T-cell response both in mice as well as in humans. In this study, we investigated in vivo in mice and in human PBMCs the effect of the commonly used long-acting GCS Dexamethasone (Dexa) on the efficacy of this vaccine format, with a particular focus on antigen-specif…
Impacto clínico de la telemedicina en la enfermedad de Crohn y colitis ulcerosa
2021
Introducción: Los datos de eficacia de la telemedicina en enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal (EII) no son consistentes. Se desconoce su impacto en el manejo de la EII moderada-grave. Además, no existe evidencia sobre el perfil de coste-efectividad de la telemonitorización en este contexto. Objetivos: Evaluar el impacto de la monitorización remota vía web (Telemonitorización de la Enfermedad de Crohn y Colitis Ulcerosa: TECCU) sobre las variables de salud y su perfil de coste-efectividad en pacientes con EII moderada-grave, comparado con el seguimiento presencial y el telefónico. Material y Métodos: Ensayo clínico aleatorizado con 3 grupos. Se incluyeron consecutivamente pacientes adultos de…
Impacto clínico y coste-utilidad del tratamiento de la osteoporosis en España
2021
La osteoporosis es una enfermedad metabólica generalizada que se caracteriza por la pérdida de la cantidad y la calidad de hueso. Provoca dolor de espalda y aumenta el riesgo de sufrir una fractura ósea por fragilidad, produciendo mayor morbilidad y mortalidad, junto a un incremento del dolor y disminución de la calidad de vida. Constituye un problema sanitario y de Salud Pública debido al aumento del coste socio-sanitario producido por las fracturas. Existen diferentes fármacos para el tratamiento de la osteoporosis, se diferencian en aquellos que previenen la reabsorción ósea o los que forman hueso. Entre ellos, la teriparatida es un inductor óseo que tiene efectos positivos en la microar…
Can adjunctive corticosteroid therapy improve patient-centered outcomes following third molar surgery? A systematic review
2021
Third molar surgery is frequently associated with postoperative discomfort such as pain, edema and trismus. We aimed to evaluate the current evidence on the efficacy of adjunctive corticosteroid therapy in improving patient-centered outcomes following third molar surgery.This systematic review assessed and searched PubMed, Google scholar, Scopus, web of science, clinicaltrials.gov and Cochrane central for controlled trials, up to May 2021. The primary outcome measures were patient-centered outcomes such as quality of life following the use of adjunctive corticosteroid therapy in third molar removal. Only randomized controlled trials published in English language were included.A total of 355…

Short-term responses of Rana arvalis tadpoles to pH and predator stress: adaptive divergence in behavioural and physiological plasticity?
2022
Environmental stress is a major driver of ecological and evolutionary processes in nature. To cope with stress, organisms can adjust through phenotypic plasticity and/or adapt through genetic change. Here, we compared short-term behavioural (activity) and physiological (corticosterone levels, CORT) responses of Rana arvalis tadpoles from two divergent populations (acid origin, AOP, versus neutral origin, NOP) to acid and predator stress. Tadpoles were initially reared in benign conditions at pH 7 and then exposed to a combination of two pH (acid versus neutral) and two predator cue (predator cue versus no predator cue) treatments. We assessed behavioural activity within the first 15 min, an…
