Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Cancer Syndrome in Spain: Clinical and Genetic Characterization
2020
Simple Summary Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) syndrome is a very rare hereditary disorder characterized by cutaneous leiomyomas (CLMs), uterine leiomyomas (ULMs), renal cysts (RCys) and renal cell cancer (RCC), with no data on its prevalence worldwide. No genotype-phenotype associations have been described. The aim of our study was to describe the genotypic and phenotypic features of the largest series of patients with HLRCC from Spain reported to date. Of 27 FH germline pathogenic variants, 12 were not previously reported in databases. Patients with missense pathogenic variants showed higher frequencies of CLMs, ULMs and RCys, than those with loss-of-function varia…
Long-Term in vivo Evaluation of Orthotypical and Heterotypical Bioengineered Human Corneas.
2020
Purpose: Human cornea substitutes generated by tissue engineering currently require limbal stem cells for the generation of orthotypical epithelial cell cultures. We recently reported that bioengineered corneas can be fabricated in vitro from a heterotypical source obtained from Wharton’s jelly in the human umbilical cord (HWJSC). Methods: Here, we generated a partial thickness cornea model based on plastic compression nanostructured fibrin-agarose biomaterials with cornea epithelial cells on top, as an orthotypical model (HOC), or with HWJSC, as a heterotypical model (HHC), and determined their potential in vivo usefulness by implantation in an animal model. Results: No major side effects …
Identificación y caracterización de precursores mesodérmicos con capacidad hematopoyética en el tejido adiposo humano
2013
La fracción vascular estromal (FVE) del tejido adiposo humano contiene precursores mesodérmicos con capacidad de generar in vitro unidades formadoras de colonias hematopoyéticas (CFUs) y colonias mixtas de células hematopoyéticas y endoteliales. El trabajo realizado en esta tesis doctoral ha tenido como objetivo el estudio de estos progenitores hematopoyéticos. Para ello, se aislaron las diferentes subpoblaciones celulares que componen la FVE y tras su caracterización inmunofenotípica, se determinó su capacidad formadora de CFUs y la expresión de los principales factores de transcripción implicados en la hematopoyesis. Para estimar la ontogenia de los progenitores hematopoyéticos contenidos…
Síntesis y caracterización de scaffolds poliméricos para la ingeniería de tejidos
2013
El desarrollo del campo de la ingeniería de tejidos surge ante la necesidad de dar solución a las deficiencias asociadas a la sustitución de tejidos cuando se han producido pérdidas irreparables de los mismos o no funcionan correctamente. Muchos tipos de células necesitan scaffolds para guiar el desarrollo de nuevos tejidos con la función apropiada, servir como sustrato para la adhesión celular y al mismo tiempo proporcionar un soporte mecánico para el nuevo tejido que ha crecido. El objetivo principal de este trabajo ha sido desarrollar métodos de síntesis de scaffolds poliméricos, basados en el método convencional denominado colado de sólidos en combinación con el lixiviado de partículas,…
Organ Donation Related With Attitude Toward the Law of Presumed Consent: Spanish University Medical and Nursing Students Study.
2020
Information provided by health care professionals is crucial to create a climate of social opinion. This is important in organ donation and transplantation (ODT), where the participation of the general public is essential to obtain organs. Objective To determine the attitude toward the Law of Presumed Consent (LPC) among Spanish university students and to analyze their relation with attitude toward ODT. Methods and design. The type of study was a sociologic, multicenter, observational study. The population included medical and nursing students in Spanish universities. Database of Collaborative International Donor Project was used stratified by geographic area and academic course. A validate…

Arte Textil y tradición en la Provincia de Catamarca, Noroeste Argentino
2019
espanolLas tradiciones textiles en la Provincia de Catamarca, constituyen parte de una identidad cultural conformada a partir de elementos muy pujantes provenientes de distinto origen. Estos se traslucen tanto en estilos y tecnicas de piezas de exquisita estetica y calidad. Evidencian ademas, la historia de las industrias y manufacturas textiles que aportaron al desarrollo de esta actividad, considerada por sus habitantes como parte de su idiosincracia que -lamentablemente- con los anos tiende a desaparecer. EnglishThe textile traditions in the province of Catamarca, are part of a cultural identity formed from very vigorous elements from different origins. These are permeated both styles an…
Relación entre el proceso histórico: Tartessos/ colonización fenicia y la alta Andalucía
1996
-Paz.Garcia-Gelabert@uv.es Los fenicios y tartesiosfueron losfundamentales transmisores de la cultura semita hacía el hinterland, concretamente hacia la alta Andalucía. la antigua Oretania, rica en minas. Allí se han hallado huellas abundantes de la impronta orientalizante que imprimen un lluevo carácter al ambiente materiaL e incluso espiritual nativo. Ella lo apreciamos en numerosos rasgas en los múltiples yacimientos de esta región. Ile ahí el ejemplo de Puente Tablas, y más intensamente aún el de Cástulo. Concretamente en su santuario de la Muela, de la edadfinal del Bronce, hallamos huellasfehacientes de préstamos materiales y espiritualesfenicios, que desarrollarnos en antplftud. En o…
Characterizing the Invasive Tumor Front of Aggressive Uterine Adenocarcinoma and Leiomyosarcoma
2021
The invasive tumor front (the tumor–host interface) is vitally important in malignant cell progression and metastasis. Tumor cell interactions with resident and infiltrating host cells and with the surrounding extracellular matrix and secreted factors ultimately determine the fate of the tumor. Herein we focus on the invasive tumor front, making an in-depth characterization of reticular fiber scaffolding, infiltrating immune cells, gene expression, and epigenetic profiles of classified aggressive primary uterine adenocarcinomas (24 patients) and leiomyosarcomas (11 patients). Sections of formalin-fixed samples before and after microdissection were scanned and studied. Reticular fiber archit…
The Genotype of the Donor for the (GT)n Polymorphism in the Promoter/Enhancer of FOXP3 Is Associated with the Development of Severe Acute GVHD but Do…
2015
The FOXP3 gene encodes for a protein (Foxp3) involved in the development and functional activity of regulatory T cells (CD4+/CD25+/Foxp3+), which exert regulatory and suppressive roles over the immune system. After allogeneic stem cell transplantation, regulatory T cells are known to mitigate graft versus host disease while probably maintaining a graft versus leukemia effect. Short alleles (<=(GT)(15)) for the (GT)(n) polymorphism in the promoter/enhancer of FOXP3 are associated with a higher expression of FOXP3, and hypothetically with an increase of regulatory T cell activity. This polymorphism has been related to the development of auto-or alloimmune conditions including type 1 diabetes …
