N-(2-methyl-indol-1H-5-yl)-1-naphthalenesulfonamide : a novel reversible antimitotic agent inhibiting cancer cell motility
2016
Este es el post-print que se ha publicado de forma definitiva en: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0006295216301423 A series of compounds containing the sulfonamide scaffold were synthesized and screened for their in vitro anticancer activity against a representative panel of human cancer cell lines, leading to the identification of N-(2-methyl-1H-indol-5-yl)-1-naphthalenesulfonamide (8e) as a compound showing a remarkable activity across the panel, with IC50 values in the nanomolar-to-low micromolar range. Cell cycle distribution analysis revealed that 8e promoted a severe G2/M arrest, which was followed by cellular senescence as indicated by the detection of senescen…
Extracellular Vesicles From the Helminth Fasciola hepatica Prevent DSS-Induced Acute Ulcerative Colitis in a T-Lymphocyte Independent Mode
2018
The complexity of the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease) has led to the quest of empirically drug therapies, combining immunosuppressant agents, biological therapy and modulators of the microbiota. Helminth parasites have been proposed as an alternative treatment of these diseases based on the hygiene hypothesis, but ethical and medical problems arise. Recent reports have proved the utility of parasite materials, mainly excretory/secretory products as therapeutic agents. The identification of extracellular vesicles on those secreted products opens a new field of investigation, since they exert potent immunomodulating effects. To assess the ef…
Determinación de la respuesta bronquial a adenosina 5'monofosfato y de la concentración de óxido nítrico en aire exhalado en pacientes con colitis ul…
2009
Las manifestaciones pulmonares de la colitis ulcerosa son una de las manifestaciones extraintestinales menos frecuentes. La afectación pulmonar subclínica es mas frecuente que la enfermedad pulmonar activa. En una revisión publicada en el año 2003, los autores destacan como un 62,5% de los casos registrados presentan afectación pulmonar subclinica (alteraciones en la espirometría, volúmenes pulmonares, difusión pulmonar, permeabilidad pulmonar o hallazgos en el lavado broncoalveolar). La determinación de óxido nítrico en aire exhalado (ENO) y la provocación bronquial con adenosina 5´-monofosfato (AMP) y metacolina han permitido estudiar la inflamación y las alteraciones estructurales bronqu…
Efecto protector de oleuropeina en inflamación intestinal
2015
La colitis ulcerosa (CU) es un desorden inflamatorio intestinal crónico que se caracteriza por la inflamación recurrente del colon. Debido a su desconocida etiología, la búsqueda de nuevos tratamientos farmacológicos está enfocada a mejorar la calidad de vida de los pacientes y reducir la inflamación. Sin embargo, aún con un amplio espectro de medicamentos, un cierto porcentaje de pacientes son resistentes a estas terapias, y además, los efectos secundarios asociados son elevados y, algunos de ellos muy graves. A esto se le suma la aparición de cáncer colorectal asociado a colitis en un 25-40% de los pacientes, tras 40 años de enfermedad. En este sentido, la búsqueda en la medicina compleme…
Clinical prognostic factors in advanced epithelioid haemangioendothelioma: a retrospective case series analysis within the Italian Rare Cancers Netwo…
2021
Background This multicentric, retrospective study conducted within the Italian Rare Cancer Network describes clinical features and explores their possible prognostic relevance in patients with advanced epithelioid haemangioendothelioma (EHE) started on surveillance. Patients and methods We collected data on adult patients with molecularly confirmed, advanced EHE consecutively referred at five sarcoma reference centres between January 2010 and June 2018, with no evidence of progressive disease (PD) and started on surveillance. Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) univariable and multivariable Cox analyses were performed. In the latter, due to the low number of cases and …
Congenital Müllerian anomalies: diagnostic accuracy of three-dimensional ultrasound
1996
Objective To determine whether it is possible to identify and diagnose accurately Mullerian anomalies with three-dimensional (3-D) ultrasound (US). Design Controlled blinded clinical study. Setting Normal human volunteers undergoing infertility evaluation in a university hospital. Patients Forty-two patients who underwent laparoscopy and hysterosalpingography as part of their work up for infertility and were found to have either a normal uterus (30 patients) or a Mullerian abnormality (12 patients) consented to be evaluated with 3-D US by sonographers who were unaware of their infertility history or of their laparoscopy and hysterosalpingography diagnoses. Interventions Transvaginal 3-D US …
Initial experience of a new linear everting falloposcopy system in comparison with hysterosalpingography
1993
Objective To assess the endolumenal portion of the fallopian tube from ostium to fimbria using a specially designed linear everting catheter and microendoscope. The study compared falloposcopy results with those obtained with hysterosalpingography (HSG) in the same patients and explored the system's ability to classify internal tubal conditions. Design A prospective study of a new diagnostic technique, falloposcopy, versus conventional means of evaluating tubal status. Setting A tertiary university infertility center. Patients Eighteen infertile patients with a previous history of infertility of at least 2 years duration. Intervention Diagnostic falloposcopy was performed on a total of 31 t…
Piroxicam-induced photosensitivity and contact sensitivity to thiosalicylic acid
1990
A photocontact dermatitis developed in three patients after the application of gel containing 0.5% piroxicam. Patch tests were positive to thiomersal and thiosalicylic acid. Photopatch tests with piroxicam at several concentrations were positive in the three patients but negative in 62 normal volunteer subjects. Patch tests performed on 14 patients with proved systemic photosensitivity to piroxicam were positive for thiomersal and thiosalicylic acid. Nine of 12 patients previously sensitized to thiosalicylic acid and with no history of exposure to piroxicam showed positive photopatch test reactions to this chemical. These results support a relation between piroxicam-induced photosensitivity…
Tuberous sclerosis complex with oral manifestations: A case report and literature review
2011
Introduction: Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a neurocutaneous syndrome produced by a number of genetic mutations. The disease is characterized by the development of benign tumors affecting different body systems. The most common oral manifestations of TSC are fibromas, gingival hyperplasia and enamel hypoplasia. Clinical Case: A 35-year-old woman diagnosed with TSC presented with a reactive fibroma of considerable size and rapid growth in the region of the right lower third molar. Discussion: In the present case the association of TSC with dental malpositioning gave rise to a rapidly evolving reactive fibroma of considerable diameter. Few similar cases can be found in the literature. P…
Liberalizing Industrial Relations in Southern-Europe: Towards the End of a Coordinated and Egalitarian Model
2016
The paper focuses on the changes that occurred to the architecture of industrial relations in Southern-European countries during the last decade. In particular, the bargaining systems of Italy, France, Spain, Greece and Portugal are compared, with a particular attention to the legislative measures enacted under the influence of international institutions after the 2008 financial and sovereign debt crisis. The theoretical framework, under which the process of transformation is analysed, is the literature on comparative politics as recently reviewed by Thelen. At the same time, the work takes into account the labour law dogmatic category of "inderogability", represented by the couple law-bran…
