Enteroparasitosis asociadas a trastornos intestinales crónicos
2021
Las enteroparasitosis afectan a la estructura y ambiente intestinal generando sintomatología en pacientes susceptibles. Éstas podrían llegar a desencadenar, agravar o confundirse con Trastornos Gastrointestinales Crónicos (TGC), cada vez más frecuentes en la población. En el presente estudio, se analiza la prevalencia de parásitos intestinales en 295 pacientes con TGC y/o sintomatología mediante la combinación de métodos diagnósticos. Giardia intestinalis fue el parásito más prevalente (61,7%), seguido de Blastocystis sp. (13,2%), con una prevalencia de parasitación general del 67%. El análisis molecular halló los genotipos A (96%) y B (4%) de G. intestinalis, y cinco subtipos de Blastocyst…
A luminal glycoprotein drives dose-dependent diameter expansion of the Drosophila melanogaster hindgut tube
2012
An important step in epithelial organ development is size maturation of the organ lumen to attain correct dimensions. Here we show that the regulated expression of Tenectin (Tnc) is critical to shape the Drosophila melanogaster hindgut tube. Tnc is a secreted protein that fills the embryonic hindgut lumen during tube diameter expansion. Inside the lumen, Tnc contributes to detectable O-Glycans and forms a dense striated matrix. Loss of tnc causes a narrow hindgut tube, while Tnc over-expression drives tube dilation in a dose-dependent manner. Cellular analyses show that luminal accumulation of Tnc causes an increase in inner and outer tube diameter, and cell flattening within the tube wall,…
Impact of BMGIM Music Therapy on Emotional State in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial
2021

Este artículo pertenece al número especial "Novel Insight into the Diagnosis and Management of Crohn?s Disease". Background. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have a high prevalence of emotional disturbances which worsen the symptoms of the disease. As a therapeutic alternative that is part of a comprehensive care alongside medication, the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (BMGIM) music-assisted therapy has achie…

Inflammatory hemocytes in Ciona intestinalis innate immune response
2009
In the present paper an attempt is carried out to revise Ciona intestinalis inflammatory hemocytes according to their morphology as formerly observed by light and electron microscopy, and taking in account recent reports on innate immunity gene expression. We also examine hemocyte morphofunctional aspects as derived from previous papers that refer to the tunic and body wall inflammatory responses challenged by corpusculate or soluble agents. LPS inoculation into the body wall or treating hemocytes in vitro with LPS have also been taken in account. LPS inoculation stimulated the expression of CiTNF alpha, CiFACIT- alpha chain collagen, CiC3a, CiCD94 and enhanced phenoloxidase activity. These…
DEFECTS IN DOPAMINERGIC PATHWAY AFFECT CONTRACTILITY OF COLON FROM HYPOXANTHINE-GUANINE PHOSPHORIBOSYLTRANSFERASE (HPRT) KNOCKOUT MICE.
2010
Lesch-Nyhan disease is an X-linked neurobehavioral and metabolic disorder caused by lack of hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT), a housekeeping enzyme responsible for recycling purines. The mechanisms underlying the neuropathology are not well understood, but the main neurochemical defect, in central nervous system, is linked to a dysfunction of dopaminergic pathway. In the enteric nervous system the dopaminergic nerves are a subset neurons of regulating gut motility, thus we investigated possible changes in colonic motility of HPRT ¯mice related to the dopaminergic control. We evaluated, in vitro, the mechanical activity of circular muscle strips from wild type and HPRT – mouse c…
