Efecto de la sobrecarga oral con grasa insaturada sobre los marcadores de estrés oxidativo e inflamación : estudios de lipemia postprandial en sujeto…
2011
Objetivos: Estudiar el efecto en los marcadores de estrés oxidativo (EO) en linfomonocitos circulantes y de inflamación sistémica relacionada con la arteriosclerosis tras un sobrecarga oral con grasa (SOG) monoinsaturada en sujetos con hipercolesterolemia familiar (HF) heterocigota y comparar esta respuesta con la obtenida en sujetos normolipémicos normoglucémicos. Sujetos y métodos: Se estudiaron 14 pacientes FH y 22 voluntarios sanos como grupo control. En ambos, se determinaron el cociente glutation oxidado/reducido y niveles de malondialdehido en linfomonocitos y niveles plasmáticos de IL-6, IL8, TNFα, eotaxina, MCP-1 y MIP-1α en ayunas y a las 2, 4, 6 y 8 horas tras una SOG. Asimismo, …
Extracts deriving from olive mill waste water and their effects on the liver of the goldfish Carassius auratus fed with hypercholesterolemic diet
2014
The present research aims to evaluate the beneficial effects of polyphenols derived from waste water from a olive mill, obtained by non-plastic molecular imprinting device, in a hypercholesterolemic diet on Carassius auratus, commonly known as goldfish that was selected as experimental model. The study was conducted with morphological and histochemical analyses and also the data were supported by immunohistochemical analysis. Results show the beneficial activity of polyphenols with a reduction of the damage in the steatotic group, confirming that they may be suggested in the treatment of diseases by lipid accumulation, and used as any addition in feed for farmed fish, in order to improve th…
Necrológica del <i>Outsider</i> Reinhart Koselleck: el «historiador pensante» y las polémicas de los historiadores
2007
Reinhart Koselleck is an author difficult to classify, since his conceptual history is rejected, and at the same time taken advantage of, by both philosophy and historiography. This paper analyses Koselleck’s attitude, sometimes tactful, at other times passionate, towards the polemics of the historians and philosophers of his country, and particularly towards the controversy concerning the involvement of both groups in Nazism—a controversy that has provoked a debate, still open, about the affections and disaffections between the science which studies the past, and memory, and has also unleashed a dispute about memorials motivated by the monument to the victims of the Holocaust. Koselleck tr…
Being Itself and the Being of Beings : Reading Aristotle’s Critique of Parmenides (Physics 1.3) after Metaphysics
2018
The essay studies Aristotle’s critique of Parmenides (Physics 1.3) in the light of the Heideggerian account of Platonic-Aristotelian metaphysics as an approach to being (Sein) in terms of beings (das Seiende). Aristotle’s critique focuses on the presuppositions of the Parmenidean thesis of the unity of being. It is argued that a close study of the presuppositions of Aristotle’s own critique reveals an important difference between the Aristotelian metaphysical framework and the Parmenidean “protometaphysical” approach. The Parmenides fragments indicate being as such in the sense of the pure, undifferentiated “is there” (τὸ ἐόν)—as the intelligible accessibility of meaningful reality to think…
Impact of hepatitis C virus clearance by direct-acting antiviral treatment on the incidence of major cardiovascular events: A prospective multicentre…
2020
Background and aims: HCV is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events (CV). Whether HCV clearance by direct-acting antivirals (DAA) reduces incident CV disease is poorly understood. We investigate whether HCV eradication reduces CV events. Methods: In a prospective multicentre study, 2204 HCV patients (F0–F2:29.5%, F3–F4: 70.5%) were enrolled. Males were 48%, median age was 68 (59–74) years and BMI 25.9 (23.1–28); 24.7% were smokers, 18% had diabetes, 13.2% had cholesterol levels >200 mg/dl and 9.1% took statins, 44% had hypertension. During an overall median follow-up of 28 (24–39) months, incident CV events, such as ischemic heart disease (IHD) and ischemic cerebral st…
Long-term albumin administration in decompensated cirrhosis (ANSWER): an open-label randomised trial
2018
Background Evidence is scarce on the efficacy of long-term human albumin (HA) administration in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. The human Albumin for the treatmeNt of aScites in patients With hEpatic ciRrhosis (ANSWER) study was designed to clarify this issue. Methods We did an investigator-initiated multicentre randomised, parallel, open-label, pragmatic trial in 33 academic and non-academic Italian hospitals. We randomly assigned patients with cirrhosis and uncomplicated ascites who were treated with anti-aldosteronic drugs (≥200 mg/day) and furosemide (≥25 mg/day) to receive either standard medical treatment (SMT) or SMT plus HA (40 g twice weekly for 2 weeks, and then 40 g weekly…
Early Steroid-Free Immunosuppression With FK506 After Liver Transplantation: Long-Term Results of a Prospectively Randomized Double-Blinded Trial
2010
Background. The aim of this prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled single center study was to evaluate an early steroid-free immunosuppression in liver transplant patients. Methods. From March 2000 to October 2004, 110 patients were included. All patients received tacrolimus and steroids during the first 2 weeks after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Thereafter, patients in the steroid group (n=54) received steroids and the remaining 56 a placebo. After 6 months, the immunosuppression for all was steroid free. Thirty patients were hepatitis C positive. Five years after inclusion, patient survival, organ survival, steroid side effects, and recirrhosis in hepatitis…
