Fluorescent nanodiamonds encapsulated byCowpea Chlorotic Mottle Virus(CCMV) proteins for intracellular 3D-trajectory analysis

2021

Long-term tracking of nanoparticles to resolve intracellular structures and motions is essential to elucidate fundamental parameters as well as transport processes within living cells. Fluorescent nanodiamond (ND) emitters provide cell compatibility and very high photostability. However, high stability, biocompatibility, and cellular uptake of these fluorescent NDs under physiological conditions are required for intracellular applications. Herein, highly stable NDs encapsulated with Cowpea chlorotic mottle virus capsid proteins (ND-CP) are prepared. A thin capsid protein layer is obtained around the NDs, which imparts reactive groups and high colloidal stability, while retaining the opto-ma…

La criminalización de la transmisión de VIH en los medios: periodismo de sucesos entre el sensacionalismo y la homofobia = Criminalization of HIV tra…

2019

Resumen: Introduccion : La informacion periodistica actual aborda mayoritariamente el VIH como una epidemia de caracter global y ha abandonado el discurso de los grupos de riesgo que vinculo al virus con la comunidad gay. En los ultimos anos, el VIH ha sido objeto de atencion mediatica por la judicializacion de la transmision deliberada del virus. Objetivos : Este trabajo analiza la cobertura periodistica en torno a dos hombres europeos juzgados en 2017: el escoces Daryll Rowe, condenado a cadena perpetua por tratar de infectar con VIH a 10 hombres, y el italiano Valentino Talluto, sentenciado por transmitir el virus a 32 mujeres. El estudio busca identificar las caracteristicas dominantes …

Interpretation of epicardial mapping by means of computer simulations: Applications to calcium, lidocaine and to BRL 34915

1992

The aim of this work was to compare experimental investigations on effects of lidocaine, calcium and, BRL 34915 on reentries to simulated data obtained by use of a model of propagation based on the Huygens' construction method already described in previous works. Calcium and lidocaine effects are investigated on anisotropic conduction conditions. In both cases, reduction in conduction velocities are observed. In lidocaine case, a refractory area is located along the longitudinal axis. In agreement with experimental electrical mapping, the simulations show that the stabilization of reentrant excitation is mainly due to the existence of this refractory area around which the reentrant circuit …

Sexual Compulsivity Scale: Adaptation and Validation in the Spanish Population

2013

Sexual compulsivity has been studied in relation to high-risk behavior for sexually transmitted infections. The aim of this study was the adaptation and validation of the Sexual Compulsivity Scale to a sample of Spanish young people. This scale was applied to 1,196 (891 female, 305 male) Spanish college students. The results of principal components factor analysis using a varimax rotation indicated a two-factor solution. The reliability of the Sexual Compulsivity Scale was found to be high. Moreover, the scale showed good temporal stability. External correlates were examined through Pearson correlations between the Sexual Compulsivity Scale and other constructs related with HIV prevention. …

Investigating the cryopreservation of nodal explants of Lithodora rosmarinifolia (Ten.) Johnst., a rare, endemic Mediterranean species

2012

In this study, we investigated the possibility of using the droplet-vitrification technique for cryopreserving nodal segments of in vitro plantlets of the endangered plant species Lithodora rosmarinifolia. Among the three vitrification solutions tested, only solutions B1, containing (w/v) 50 % glycerol and 50 % sucrose, and B3, containing 40 % glycerol and 40 % sucrose, were able to induce cryotolerance in nodal explants, resulting in intermediate survival and recovery after cryopreservation. A three-step vitrification protocol, including an additional dehydration treatment with half-strength vitrification solution for 30 min before the treatment with full-strength vitrification solution, d…

INFLUENCE OF THE ANODIZATION CONDITIONS ON THE ELECTRONIC PROPERTIES AND CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC STRUCTURES OF THE CORROSION LAYERS ON TUNGSTEN. A PHOTOELEC…

1983

ABSTRACT The influence of morphology, composition and crystallographic structure on the photoelectrochemical behaviour of anodic oxide films on tungsten obtained in various conditions of anodization has been investigated. Different photocurrent spectra and absorption edges were obtained for each type of film. Optical band gaps ranging between 2.55 eV and 3.15 eV were determined for crystalline and amorphous WO 3 films grown in different conditions. The low quantum efficiency of the anodic films must be attributed to the presence of an amorphous (a-W0 3 ) film which controls the transport of the injected photocarriers.

Valutazione di ecotipi siciliani di melone d'inverno coltivati in regime seccagno

2010

The increasing cultivation of hybrid melon cultivars has caused the loss of several Sicilian landraces characterized by a high level of diversity, tolerance to environmental stress, disease resistance, and high quality fruits. Although the majority of hybrid melon fields in the Sicilian countryside are nowadays irrigated, many farmers are still growing melon landraces without irrigation. In this trial, eight Sicilian landraces of winter melon (Cucumis melo L. var. inodorus Naud.) with yellow skin and three with white skin were compared with the commercial cultivar Helios. Plants were grown at a density of 2080 plants ha-1. without irrigation. ‘Locale di Ustica’ and ‘Giallo di Recattivo’ gav…

Vairogdziedzera vēža sastopamība pacientiem ar akromegāliju

2016

Akromegālija ir reta endokrīna saslimšana, kas raksturojas ar paaugstinātu STH un IGF-1 sekrēciju. Zināms, ka akromegālijas slimniekiem ir paaugstināts audzēju risks. 54-65% akromegālijas pacientiem ir nodoza struma. Pēc literatūras datiem 5-10% mezglu ir maligni, kas liek domāt, ka arī vairogdziedzera vēža risks akromegālijas pacientiem ir lielāks. Literatūrā ir dažādi pētījumi, kuros ir minēta cukura diabēta (CD) saistība ar audzējiem. Glikozes regulācijas traucējumi ir bieža akromegālijas blakus slimība un ir maz pētījumu par to lomu vairogdziedzera patoloģiju attīstībā. Vēl joprojām akromegālijas pacientiem tiek pētīti iespējamie audzēju attīstības mehānismi. Pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidr…
