First finding of Ityogonimus lorum and I. ocreatus co-infection in the Iberian mole, Talpa occidentalis.
2018
Abstract The Ityogonimus lorum-I. ocreatus co-infection is reported for the first time in the Iberian mole Talpa occidentalis in Asturias (NW Spain). Both Ityogonimus species are stenoxenous helminths of insectivores of the genus Talpa and they have often been found parasitizing the Iberian mole and also the European mole T. europaea, but a mixed infection had not been previously reported. The present study also highlights the main differential morphometric characteristics between I. lorum and I. ocreatus such as the body length, the ventral sucker diameter, the ratio between suckers and the distance between suckers.
Hnf4α is a key gene that can generate columnar metaplasia in oesophageal epithelium
2017
AbstractBarrett's metaplasia is the only known morphological precursor to oesophageal adenocarcinoma and is characterized by replacement of stratified squamous epithelium by columnar epithelium. The cell of origin is uncertain and the molecular mechanisms responsible for the change in cellular phenotype are poorly understood. We therefore explored the role of two transcription factors, Cdx2 and HNF4α in the conversion using primary organ cultures. Biopsy samples from cases of human Barrett's metaplasia were analysed for the presence of CDX2 and HNF4α. A new organ culture system for adult murine oesophagus is described. Using this, Cdx2 and HNF4α were ectopically expressed by adenoviral infe…
Histological differences in the adherence of connective tissue to laser-treated abutments and standard abutments for dental implants. An experimental…
2017
Background The goal of the current study is to assess the difference in connective tissue adherence to laser microtextured versus machined titanium abutments. Material and Methods Six patients were selected and each of them received 2 implants, one combined with a laser treated abutment and one with a machined abutment. After three months, the abutments were retrieved together with their surrounding gingival tissue for histological analysis. Qualitative and quantitative evaluation of microscopical images was performed to assess the presence or absence of adherence between the soft tissues and the abutment, and the percentage of soft tissue adhered to the two different surfaces. Results Inti…
1p36 deletion results in a decrease in glycosaminoglycans which is associated with aggressiveness in neuroblastic tumors
2018
Despite our deep understanding of neuroblastic tumors, some patients still suffer treatment failure, so pre-treatment risk stratification still requires improvement and the search for new therapeutic targets must continue. Here we correlated prognostic clinical and biological features of neuroblastic tumors with the density of extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycans (the main components of the extracellular matrix ‘ground substance’), in nearly 400 primary samples. We also studied the relationship between the density of extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycans and the expression of B3GALT6, an enzyme required for their synthesis. We associated a decrease in glycosaminoglycans with neuroblast…
Digital morphometric analysis of skin elements.
2014
Objetivo: Proponer el uso de la infraestructura digital morfométrica para la cuantificación microscópica objetiva de elementos celulares y de la matriz extracelular en heridas y cicatrizaciones de la piel. Descripción de posibles usos, ventajas e inconvenientes. Presentación de una propuesta en diversos cortes histológicos del sistema tegumentario. Material y métodos: En el ejemplo empleado se utilizaron cortes de piel fina sana teñidos con técnicas histoquímicas e inmunohistoquímicas. Las muestras se digitalizaron con el escáner Panoramic MIDI (3D Histech Ltd.) y las imágenes obtenidas se analizaron con el software Panoramic Viewer v.1.15 (3D Histech Ltd) para cuantificar elementos celular…
Aminopropyltransferases involved in polyamine biosynthesis localize preferentially in the nucleus of plant cells
2012
Plant aminopropyltransferases consist of a group of enzymes that transfer aminopropyl groups derived from decarboxylated S-adenosyl-methionine (dcAdoMet or dcSAM) to propylamine acceptors to produce polyamines, ubiquitous metabolites with positive charge at physiological pH. Spermidine synthase (SPDS) uses putrescine as amino acceptor to form spermidine, whereas spermine synthase (SPMS) and thermospermine synthase (TSPMS) use spermidine as acceptor to synthesize the isomers spermine and thermospermine respectively. In previous work it was shown that both SPDS1 and SPDS2 can physically interact with SPMS although no data concerning the subcellular localization was reported. Here we study the…
Aportaciones e influencia del valenciano Luis Simarro Lacabra (1851-1921) en la neuro-histología española
2021
El pasado 19 de junio del 2021, se cumplió el centenario de la muerte del histólogo valenciano Luis Simarro Lacabra (1851-1921). La figura de Simarro prácticamente ha desaparecido, en el momento actual, de la memoria del panorama científico y cultural espa¿nol, siendo sus aportaciones micrográficas escasamente conocidas, probablemente debido a que su producción científica escrita fue muy reducida. En el presente trabajo, las aportaciones micrográficas de Simarro, de las que tenemos conocimiento, son revisadas en el contexto de su biografía, analizando su influencia en el origen y desarrollo de la escuela neurohistológica espa¿nola que, liderada por Santiago Ramón y Cajal, es hoy universalme…
A analise comparativa da junção dentina-esmalte em mamiferos
2021
Orientador : Sergio Roberto Peres Line Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Odontologia de Piracicaba Resumo: O estudo da morfologia e da micro-estrutura dos dentes tem provido boas informações a respeito da função e evolução dos mamíferos. Entre as características estruturais estudadas a junção dentina-esmalte tem recebido relativamente pouca atenção. Neste trabalho nós realizamos uma análise comparativa da micro-estruturas da junção dentina-esmalte entre diversos mamíferos. Entre as espécies estudadas somente duas (HUMANO e Miguelsoria parayirunhor) apresentaram um complexo tipo de junção dentina esmalte. Nossos resultados mostraram a topografia da junç…
The association between appendicitis severity and patient age with appendiceal neoplasm histology—a population-based study
2022
Abstract Purpose Recent studies have reported alarming appendiceal tumor rates associated with complicated acute appendicitis, especially in patients presenting with a periappendicular abscess. However, the data on histology of appendiceal tumors among acute appendicitis patients is limited, especially in patient cohorts differentiating between uncomplicated and complicated acute appendicitis. We have previously reported the association of increased appendiceal tumor prevalence with complicated acute appendicitis in this population-based study. The objective of this secondary analysis was to evaluate the association of both appendicitis severity and patient age with appendiceal tumor histol…
The effects of dietary fumonisin B1 on growth and physiology of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
2016
Kalanrehuissa on perinteisesti luotettu kalajauhoon ja -öljyyn rehujen pääasiallisina proteiinin- ja energianlähteinä. Näitä raaka-aineita on nykyään alettu korvata kasviperäisillä ainesosilla niiden edullisemman hinnan ja helpomman saatavuuden vuoksi, esimerkiksi maissilla, vehnällä ja soijalla. Pilaantuneen kasviperäisen raaka-aineen mukana rehuun pääsee haitallisia mykotoksiineja. Mykotoksiinit ovat homesienten sekundäärisiä metaboliatuotteita, joita ne pääasiassa tuottavat kilpailuun muita homeita vastaan, ja joiden on havaittu aiheuttavan kasvun heikentymistä ja sairauksia monilla eri kotieläimillä, mutta niiden vaikutuksista kaloihin tiedetään varsin vähän. Yksi yleisimmistä mykotoksi…
