Changes in food habits amongst Norwegian adolescents in 2016 and 2019 according to gender and socioeconomic status

2021

Background: Monitoring dietary habits is important in order to identify risk groups and as a basis for targeted public health initiatives. Objective: To study trends in consumption of selected foods and beverages from 2016 to 2019 amongst Norwegian adolescents according to gender and parental education. Design: Repeated cross-sectional study amongst 25,996 adolescents, aged 14–17 years old. Consumption of selected food and beverages was measured by an online food frequency questionnaire and general linear models were applied to estimate changes in dietary habits. Results: Between 2016 and 2019, we observed a reduced frequency of consumption of vegetables (from 4.7 to 4.4 times/week), fruit …

Estrés por disulfuro en pancreatitis aguda experimental. Implicaciones fisiopatológicas

2014

El estrés oxidativo se define como la alteración en el equilibrio entre las especies oxidantes y antioxidantes, a favor de las primeras. Mientras que hay muchos tipos de daño oxidativo, cada vez más pruebas sugieren un papel importante en la oxidación de proteínas en múltiples enfermedades. Los puentes disulfuro se forman en el citosol durante el estrés oxidativo y funcionan como intercambiadores redox. El glutatión es un tripéptido y es uno de los principales antioxidantes, lo que le confiere un papel clave en numerosas funciones celulares. El estado redox del glutatión se considera el mejor indicador de estrés oxidativo en las células, ya que refleja el equilibrio entre el estado antioxid…

Efectos del Sorafenib, un inhibidor tirosina quinasa, en el control del tono vascular.

2018

El carcinoma hepatocelular o hepatocarcinoma (HCC) es uno de los tumores sólidos vasculares más conocidos, representa uno de los mayores problemas de salud en todo el mundo, siendo una de las enfermedades más comunes del hígado (70-85%) y una de las mayores causas de mortalidad relacionadas con el cáncer, siendo la tercera causa más común de muerte por cáncer Varias rutas carcinogénicas se han identificado en el desarrollo y progresión del HCC, proporcionando nuevas dianas moleculares para el tratamiento del HCC. Algunos fármacos que afectan a estas rutas incluyen, entre otros, el receptor del factor de crecimiento endotelial vascular (VEGFR). El sorafenib es un fármaco sistémico aprobado p…

Real-world experience with obeticholic acid in patients with primary biliary cholangitis

2021

Background & aims Obeticholic acid (OCA) is the second-line treatment approved for patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and an inadequate response or intolerance to ursodeoxycholic acid. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of OCA under real-world conditions. Methods Patients were recruited into the Italian PBC Registry, a multicentre, observational cohort study that monitors patients with PBC at national level. The primary endpoint was the biochemical response according to Poise criteria; the secondary endpoint was the biochemical response according to normal range criteria, defined as normal levels of bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and alanine aminotransfer…

Maternal weaning practices and their impact on infant's acceptance of new food

2010

Objective. The introduction of solid foods is a major step in the development of food behaviour. Previous studies showed that higher sensory variety in weaning period can later influence infant's acceptance of new food. The aim of the present study is (i) to describe precisely the different maternal weaning practices, (ii) to relate them with the individual mothers' and infants' characteristics, (iii) to study if these practices could impact infant's acceptance of new foods. Methods. Mothers (n=121) were requested to record each food proposed to their infant detailed from a sensory point of view and to score the level of its acceptance at the 4 first presentations. The beginning of the wean…

Eating a variety of vegetables: the importance of feeding practices at weaning and onwards

2013

Présentation sous forme d'un diaporama (24 diapositives) classé confidentiel; International audience; Eating a varied diet is known to improve the food intake from a nutritional point of view. Weaning (i.e. introduction of complementary foods) is a transitional process between the consumption of a unique food, milk, and family foods. This is the time when the diet gets progressively diversified. Accumulating evidences point towards the role that eating a varied diet as early as the beginning of weaning plays in the development of further food acceptance and healthy eating habits. These studies will be reviewed, as well as other studies underlying more broadly the role played by parental fee…

Characterizing the bacterial fish pathogen Flavobacterium columnare, and some factors affecting its pathogenicity

2010

Flavobacterium columnare is a bacterial pathogen of fresh water fish causing lethal columnaris disease worldwide. At Finnish fish farms, columnaris disease has occurred since the early 1980s, and is a serious problem in salmonid farming in Finland. Currently, the only effective treatment is with antibiotics. Factors related to the pathogenicity of F. columnare, transmission of columnaris disease and the immunity of salmonids to columnaris infections are poorly known. F. columnare strains isolated from Finnish fish farms were characterized geno- and phenotypically, virulence and transmission experiments were conducted, and the efficacy of two immunostimulants against columnaris infections in…

Modulation of Hepatitis C Virus NS5A Hyperphosphorylation by Nonstructural Proteins NS3, NS4A, and NS4B

1999

NS5A of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a highly phosphorylated protein involved in resistance against interferon and required most likely for replication of the viral genome. Phosphorylation of this protein is mediated by a cellular kinase(s) generating multiple proteins with different electrophoretic mobilities. In the case of the genotype 1b isolate HCV-J, in addition to the basal phosphorylated NS5A (designated pp56), a hyperphosphorylated form (pp58) was found on coexpression of NS4A (T. Kaneko, Y. Tanji, S. Satoh, M. Hijikata, S. Asabe, K. Kimura, and K. Shimotohno, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 205:320‐326, 1994). Using a comparative analysis of two full-length genomes of genotype 1b…
