Difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy and preoperative predictive factors
2021
AbstractLaparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the standard technique for treatment of gallbladder disease. In case of acute cholecystitis we can identify preoperative factors associated with an increased risk of conversion and intraoperative complications. The aim of our study was to detect preoperative laboratory and radiological findings predictive of difficult LC with potential advantages for both the surgeons and patients in terms of options for management. We designed a retrospective case–control study to compare preoperative predictive factors of difficult LC in patients treated in emergency setting between January 2015 and December 2019. We included in the difficult LC group the surge…

Fast evaluation of enantioselective drug metabolism by electrophoretically mediated microanalysis: application to fluoxetine metabolism by CYP2D6.
2013
In this work, a capillary electrophoretic methodology for the enantioselective in vitro evaluation of drugs metabolism is applied to the evaluation of fluoxetine (FLX) metabolism by cytochrome 2D6 (CYP2D6). This methodology comprises the in-capillary enzymatic reaction and the chiral separation of FLX and its major metabolite, norfluoxetine enantiomers employing highly sulfated β-CD and the partial filling technique. The methodology employed in this work is a fast way to obtain a first approach of the enantioselective in vitro metabolism of racemic drugs, with the additional advantage of an extremely low consumption of enzymes, CDs and all the reagents involved in the process. Michaelis-Men…
MS4A12 is a colon-selective store-operated calcium channel promoting malignant cell processes.
2008
AbstractUsing a data mining approach for the discovery of new targets for antibody therapy of colon cancer, we identified MS4A12, a sequence homologue of CD20. We show that MS4A12 is a cell surface protein. Expression analysis and immunohistochemistry revealed MS4A12 to be a colonic epithelial cell lineage gene confined to the apical membrane of colonocytes with strict transcriptional repression in all other normal tissue types. Expression is maintained upon malignant transformation in 63% of colon cancers. Ca2+ flux analyses disclosed that MS4A12 is a novel component of store-operated Ca2+ entry in intestinal cells. Using RNAi-mediated gene silencing, we show that loss of MS4A12 in LoVo co…
Improving Fractionation of Human Milk Proteins through Calcium Phosphate Coprecipitation and Their Rapid Characterization by Capillary Electrophoresis
2018
This work describes a simple sample pretreatment method for the fractionation of human milk proteins (into their two main groups, whey and caseins) prior to their analysis. The protein-extraction protocol is based on the addition of calcium phosphate to nonadjusted pH human milk. The combination of calcium ions with phosphate results in an effective coprecipitation of caseins. To assess the suitability of this fractionation protocol, the protein extracts were analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), LC-MS/MS, and capillary electrophoresis (CE) analysis. The results evidence a significant decrease in contamination of casein fraction with whey proteins…

Annexin II is present on renal epithelial cells and binds calcium oxalate monohydrate crystals.
2003
Attachment of newly formed crystals to renal epithelial cells appears to be a critical step in the development of kidney stones. The current study was undertaken to identify potential calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM) crystal-binding proteins on the surface of renal tubular cells. Apical membranes were prepared from confluent monolayers of renal epithelial cells (MDCKI line), and COM crystal affinity was used to isolate crystal-binding proteins that were then subjected to electrophoresis and electroblotting. Microsequencing of the most prominent COM crystal-binding protein (M(r) of 37 kD) identified it as annexin II (Ax-II). When exposed proteins on the surface of intact monolayers were bio…
Efectos de la aplicación de un protocolo de entrenamiento de fuerza previo, a la cirugía de artroplastía total de rodilla en pacientes mayores de 60 …
2015
La indicación mas frecuente para implantar una prótesis total de rodilla es eliminar el dolor y restaurar la movilidad causada por una gran destrucción articular en el cartílago, como ocurre con la osteoartritis. La cirugía de reemplazo de articulaciones es una intervención eficaz utilizada cada vez más para osteoartritis de cadera y de rodilla. Los pacientes diagnosticados de osteoartritis primaria avanzada que son susceptibles de recibir una prótesis total de rodilla, debido al dolor y la rigidez articular evitan utilizar la articulación durante las actividades de la vida diaria, como caminar y subir escaleras, de forma que adoptan una actitud sedentaria, afectando a la musculatura implic…
