Mucocutaneous diseases with manifestations in the head and neck region: 24 years of experience in a Dermatology service
2023
This study aimed to evaluate the clinicopathological features of mucocutaneous diseases with manifestation in the head and neck region. A retrospective analysis of a dermatology reference center database was carried out. Over 24 years. Clinicopathological data were collected from medical records and the data was analyzed by descriptive statistics. A total of 11.538 medical records were analyzed, being 152 cases of mucocutaneous diseases with manifestations in the head and neck region. Cutaneous lupus erythematosus was the most prevalent diagnosis (66.4%). Face (44.1%), females (79.6%), and patients with 45 years mean age were the most common features. In the oral cavity, the most affected r…
Estudio in vitro de la respuesta osteoblástica sobre discos de titanio en función de su rugosidad y la aplicación tópica de melatonina
2017
La implantología dental es una rama de la odontología que tiene como objetivo reemplazar las funciones masticatorias, fonéticas y estéticas de los dientes perdidos gracias a la colocación quirúrgica de uno o varios implantes dentales en el hueso maxilar o mandibular, y su posterior rehabilitación protésica implantorretenida. La implantología dental está en constante evolución, respondiendo a la demanda de la restauración estética y funcional que exigen los pacientes con la mayor brevedad posible. Según Branemark “El éxito clínico de los implantes dentales está basado en la oseointegración”, es decir, “la conexión directa estructural y funcional entre hueso vivo, ordenado y la superficie del…
Nutritional properties and plausible benefits of Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) on bone metabolism and osteoimmunology : a mini-review
2020
Bone is a hard connective tissue that undergoes a systematic renewal. This highly dynamic organ is made up of four different types of cells, however, bone formation is commonly attributed to osteoblasts and bone resorption to osteoclasts. Bone tissue formation occurs during embryonic development and in certain post-birth pathological conditions. The immune system could influence the functions of bone cells, and the crosstalk between hematopoietic, immune, and bone cells is known as osteoimmunology. Indeed, cytokines produced by immune cells, including TNF-α and IL-6, are critically implicated in bone pathogenesis. It is well established that diet plays an important role in bone health and f…

Epigenetic siRNA and Chemical Screens Identify SETD8 Inhibition as a Therapeutic Strategy for p53 Activation in High-Risk Neuroblastoma
2017
Given the paucity of druggable mutations in high-risk neuroblastoma (NB), we undertook chromatin-focused small interfering RNA and chemical screens to uncover epigenetic regulators critical for the differentiation block in high-risk NB. High-content Opera imaging identified 53 genes whose loss of expression led to a decrease in NB cell proliferation and 16 also induced differentiation. From these, the secondary chemical screen identified SETD8, the H4K20me1 methyltransferase, as a druggable NB target. Functional studies revealed that SETD8 ablation rescued the pro-apoptotic and cell-cycle arrest functions of p53 by decreasing p53K382me1, leading to activation of the p53 canonical pathway. I…

Molecular mechanisms of MYCN-dependent apoptosis and the MDM2-p53 pathway: an Achille’s heel to be exploited for the therapy of MYCN amplified neurob…
2012
The p53 oncosuppressor is very seldom mutated in neuroblastoma, but several mecha- nisms cooperate to its functional inactivation in this tumor. Increased MDM2 levels, due to genetic amplification or constitutive inhibition of p14ARF, significantly contribute to this event highlighting p53 reactivation as an attractive perspective for neuroblastoma treat- ment. In addition to its role in tumorigenesis, MYCN sensitizes untransformed and cancer cells to apoptosis. This is associated to a fine modulation of the MDM2-p53 pathway Indeed MYCN induces p53 and MDM2 transcription, and, by evoking a DNA damage response (DDR), it stabilizes p53 and its proapoptotic kinase Homeodomain Interacting Prote…
Nitinola matricas ar bioaktīvo slāni izveide pielietojumam asinsvadu ķirurģijā
2022
Darba mērķis bija izpētīt Nitinola matricas ar bioaktīvo slāni biosaderību un izvērtēt tās priekšrocības salīdzinājumā ar Nitinolu. Lai sasniegtu mērķus, tika veikta izpēte un apkopoti aktuālie zinātniskie dati par Nitinola pielietošanu asinsvadu ķirurģijā, plazmas elektrolītiskās oksidācijas Nitinola izveidi un biosaderību, nanodimantu biosaderību. Tika veikta Nitinola plazmas elektrolītiskā oksidēšana un iegūto biomateriālu raksturošana ar skenējošo elektronu mikroskopa metodi. Tika apstrādāti nitinola ar bioaktīvo nanodimantu pārklājumi un veikta to raksturošana ar fizikālām metodēm. Eksperimentāli tika izpētīta Nitinola matricas ar bioaktīvo nanodimantu slāņu biosaderība ar cilvēka fibr…
