1. Solid Tumor Opioid Receptor Expression and Oncologic Outcomes: Analysis of the Cancer Genome Atlas and Genotype Tissue Expression Project

Abstract: Background: Opioid receptors are expressed not only by neural cells in the central nervous system, but also by many solid tumor cancer cells. Whether perioperative opioids given for analgesia after tumor resection surgery might inadvertently activate tumor cells, promoting recurrence or metastasis, remains controversial. We analysed large public gene repositories of solid tumors to investigate differences in opioid receptor expression between normal and tumor tissues and their association with long-term oncologic outcomes.; Methods: We investigated the normalized gene expression of , kappa, delta opioid receptors (MOR, KOR, DOR), Opioid Growth Factor (OGFR), and Toll-Like 4 (TLR4) receptors in normal and tumor samples from twelve solid tumor types. We carried out mixed multivariable logistic and Cox regression analysis on whether there was an association between these receptors' gene expression and the tissue where found, i.e., tumor or normal tissue. We also evaluated the association between tumor opioid receptor gene expression and patient disease-free interval (DFI) and overall survival (OS).; Results: We retrieved 8,780 tissue samples, 5,852 from tumor and 2,928 from normal tissue, of which 2,252 were from the Genotype Tissue Expression Project (GTEx) and 672 from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) repository. The Odds Ratio (OR) [95%CI] for gene expression of the specific opioid receptors in the examined tumors varied: MOR: 0.74 [0.63-0.87], KOR: 1.27 [1.17-1.37], DOR: 1.66 [1.48-1.87], TLR4: 0.29 [0.26-0.32], OGFR: 2.39 [2.05-2.78]. After controlling all confounding variables, including age and cancer stage, there was no association between tumor opioid receptor expression and long-term oncologic outcomes.; Conclusion: Opioid receptor gene expression varies between different solid tumor types. There was no association between tumor opioid receptor expression and recurrence. Understanding the significance of opioid receptor expression on tumor cells remains elusive.

Abstract: Purpose: To investigate age-related differences in outcomes of critically ill patients with sepsis around the world., Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of data from the prospective ICON audit, in which all adult ( >16 years ) patients admitted to participating ICUs between May 8 and 18, 2012, were included, except admissions for routine postoperative observation. For this sub-analysis, the 10,012 patients with completed age data were included. They were divided into five age groups - 80 years. Sepsis was defined as infection plus at least one organ failure., Results: A total of 2963 patients had sepsis, with similar proportions across the age groups (80 = 30.9%). Hospital mortality increased with age and in patients >80 years was almost twice that of patients 70 years was independently associated with increased risk of dying., Conclusions: The odds for death in ICU patients with sepsis increased with age with the maximal rate of increase occurring between the ages of 71 and 77 years.

3. Intraabdominal Pressure Targeted Positive End-expiratory Pressure during Laparoscopic Surgery: An Open-label, Nonrandomized, Crossover, Clinical Trial

Author: Mazzinari G, Diaz-Cambronero O, Alonso-Iñigo JM, Garcia-Gregorio N, Ayas-Montero B, Ibañez JL, Serpa Neto A, Ball L, Gama de Abreu M, Pelosi P, Maupoey J, Argente Navarro MP, and Schultz MJ
Abstract: Transpulmonary driving pressure (ratio of tidal volume to respiratory system compliance) increases with increased intraabdominal pressure during laparoscopic surgery. High transpulmonary driving pressure during laparoscopic surgery is associated with increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications.Intraoperative positive end-expiratory pressure prevents atelectasis, but may also cause overdistension.

4. Effect of an individualized versus standard pneumoperitoneum pressure strategy on postoperative recovery: a randomized clinical trial in laparoscopic colorectal surgery

Author: Díaz-Cambronero O, Mazzinari G, Flor Lorente B, García Gregorio N, Robles-Hernandez D, Olmedilla Arnal LE, Martin de Pablos A, Schultz MJ, Errando CL, Argente Navarro MP, and on behalf of the IPPColLapSe II study investigators
Abstract: Background It remains uncertain whether individualization of pneumoperitoneum pressures during laparoscopic surgery improves postoperative recovery. This study compared an individualized pneumoperitoneum pressure (IPP) strategy with a standard pneumoperitoneum pressure (SPP) strategy with respect to postoperative recovery after laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Methods This was a multicentre RCT. The IPP strategy comprised modified patient positioning, deep neuromuscular blockade, and abdominal wall prestretching targeting the lowest intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) that maintained acceptable workspace. The SPP strategy comprised patient positioning according to the surgeon's preference, moderate neuromuscular blockade and a fixed IAP of 12 mmHg. The primary endpoint was physiological postoperative recovery, assessed by means of the Postoperative Quality of Recovery Scale. Secondary endpoints included recovery in other domains and overall recovery, the occurrence of intraoperative and postoperative complications, duration of hospital stay, and plasma markers of inflammation up to postoperative day 3. Results Of 166 patients, 85 received an IPP strategy and 81 an SPP strategy. The IPP strategy was associated with a higher probability of physiological recovery (odds ratio (OR) 2 center dot 77, 95 per cent c.i. 1 center dot 19 to 6 center dot 40, P = 0 center dot 017; risk ratio (RR) 1 center dot 82, 1 center dot 79 to 1 center dot 87, P = 0 center dot 049). The IPP strategy was also associated with a higher probability of emotional (P = 0 center dot 013) and overall (P = 0 center dot 011) recovery. Intraoperative adverse events were less frequent with the IPP strategy (P < 0 center dot 001) and the plasma neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio was lower (P = 0 center dot 029). Other endpoints were not affected. Conclusion In this cohort of patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal surgery, an IPP strategy was associated with faster recovery, fewer intraoperative complications and less inflammation than an SPP strategy.

Abstract: BackgroundWhile guidelines for laparoscopic abdominal surgery advise using the lowest possible intra-abdominal pressure, commonly a standard pressure is used. We evaluated the feasibility of a predefined multifaceted individualized pneumoperitoneum strategy aiming at the lowest possible intra-abdominal pressure during laparoscopic colorectal surgery.MethodsMulticenter prospective study in patients scheduled for laparoscopic colorectal surgery. The strategy consisted of ventilation with low tidal volume, a modified lithotomy position, deep neuromuscular blockade, pre-stretching of the abdominal wall, and individualized intra-abdominal pressure titration; the effect was blindly evaluated by the surgeon. The primary endpoint was the proportion of surgical procedures completed at each individualized intra-abdominal pressure level. Secondary endpoints were the respiratory system driving pressure, and the estimated volume of insufflated CO2 gas needed to perform the surgical procedure.ResultsNinety-two patients were enrolled in the study. Fourteen cases were converted to open surgery for reasons not related to the strategy. The intervention was feasible in all patients and well-accepted by all surgeons. In 61 out of 78 patients (78%), surgery was performed and completed at the lowest possible IAP, 8mmHg. In 17 patients, IAP was raised up to 12mmHg. The relationship between IAP and driving pressure was almost linear. The mean estimated intra-abdominal CO2 volume at which surgery was performed was 3.2L.ConclusionA multifaceted individualized pneumoperitoneum strategy during laparoscopic colorectal surgery was feasible and resulted in an adequate working space in most patients at lower intra-abdominal pressure and lower respiratory driving pressure.ClinicalTrials.gov (Trial Identifier: NCT03000465).

Abstract: Purpose: To investigate age-related differences in outcomes of critically ill patients with sepsis around the world. Methods: We performed a secondary analysis of data from the prospective ICON audit, in which all adult ( >16 years ) patients admitted to participating ICUs between May 8 and 18, 2012, were included, except admissions for routine postoperative observation. For this sub-analysis, the 10,012 patients with completed age data were included. They were divided into five age groups - 80 years. Sepsis was defined as infection plus at least one organ failure. Results: A total of 2963 patients had sepsis, with similar proportions across the age groups (80 = 30.9%). Hospital mortality increased with age and in patients >80 years was almost twice that of patients 70 years was independently associated with increased risk of dying. Conclusions: The odds for death in ICU patients with sepsis increased with age with the maximal rate of increase occurring between the ages of 71 and 77 years. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc.

7. CRISPR-Cas systems: ushering in the new genome editing era

Author: Rojo, FP, Nyman, RKM, Johnson, AAT, Navarro, MP, Ryan, MH, Erskine, W, Kaur, P, Rojo, FP, Nyman, RKM, Johnson, AAT, Navarro, MP, Ryan, MH, Erskine, W, and Kaur, P
Abstract: In recent years there has been great progress with the implementation and utilization of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated protein (Cas) systems in the world of genetic engineering. Many forms of CRISPR-Cas9 have been developed as genome editing tools and techniques and, most recently, several non-genome editing CRISPR-Cas systems have emerged. Most of the CRISPR-Cas systems have been classified as either Class I or Class II and are further divided among several subtypes within each class. Research teams and companies are currently in dispute over patents for these CRISPR-Cas systems as numerous powerful applications are concurrently under development. This mini review summarizes the appearance of CRISPR-Cas systems with a focus on the predominant CRISPR-Cas9 system as well as the classifications and subtypes for CRISPR-Cas. Non-genome editing uses of CRISPR-Cas are also highlighted and a brief overview of the commercialization of CRISPR is provided.

8. Biocontrol Activity of Bacillus altitudinis CH05 and Bacillus tropicus CH13 Isolated from Capsicum annuum L. Seeds against Fungal Strains.

Author: Espinosa Bernal MA, Mena Navarro MP, Arvizu Gómez JL, Saldaña C, Ramos López MÁ, Amaro Reyes A, Escamilla García M, Pacheco Aguilar JR, Moreno VP, Rodríguez Morales JA, Álvarez Hidalgo E, Nuñez Ramírez J, Hernández Flores JL, and Campos Guillén J
Abstract: In this study, seed-surface-associated bacteria from fresh fruits of Capsicum spp. were analyzed to explore potential isolates for biocontrol of phytopathogenic fungal strains. A total of 76 bacterial isolates were obtained from three different species of chili pepper ( C. annuum L., C. pubescens R. & P., and C. chinense Jacq.), and two isolates were selected via mycelial growth inhibition assays based on their production of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) against six fungal strains. Genomic analysis identified these isolates as Bacillus altitudinis CH05, with a chromosome size of 3,687,823 bp and with 41.25% G+C, and Bacillus tropicus CH13, with a chromosome size of 5,283,706 bp and with 35.24% G+C. Both bacterial strains showed high mycelial growth inhibition capacities against Sclerotium rolfsii , Sclerotinia sp., Rhizoctonia solani , and Alternaria alternata but lower inhibition capacities against Colletotrichum gloesporoides and Fusarium oxysporum . VOC identification was carried out after 24 h of fermentation with 64 VOCs for B. altitudinis CH05 and 53 VOCs for B. tropicus CH13. 2,5-Dimethyl pyrazine and acetoin had the highest relative abundance values in both bacterial strains. Our findings revealed that seed-surface-associated bacteria on Capsicum spp. have the metabolic ability to produce VOCs for biocontrol of fungal strains and have the potential to be used in sustainable agriculture.

Abstract: Maintaining patients' temperature during surgery is beneficial since hypothermia has been linked with perioperative complications. Laparoscopic surgery involves the insufflation of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into the peritoneal cavity and has become the standard in many surgical indications since it is associated with better and faster recovery. However, the use of cold and dry CO 2 insufflation can lead to perioperative hypothermia. We aimed to assess the difference between intraperitoneal and core temperatures during laparoscopic surgery and evaluate the influence of duration and CO 2 insufflation volume by fitting a mixed generalized additive model. In this prospective observational single-center cohort trial, we included patients aged over 17 with American Society of Anesthesiology risk scores I to III undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Anesthesia, ventilation, and analgesia followed standard protocols, while patients received active warming using blankets and warmed fluids. Temperature data, CO 2 ventilation parameters, and intraabdominal pressure were collected. We recruited 51 patients. The core temperature was maintained above 36 °C and progressively raised toward 37 °C as pneumoperitoneum time passed. In contrast, the intraperitoneal temperature decreased, thus creating a widening difference from 0.4 [25th-75th percentile: 0.2-0.8] °C at the beginning to 2.3 [2.1-2.3] °C after 240 min. Pneumoperitoneum duration and CO 2 insufflation volume significantly increased this temperature difference (P < 0.001 for both parameters). Core vs. intraperitoneal temperature difference increased linearly by 0.01 T °C per minute of pneumoperitoneum time up to 120 min and then 0.05 T °C per minute. Each insufflated liter per unit of time, i.e. every 10 min, increased the temperature difference by approximately 0.009 T °C. Our findings highlight the impact of pneumoperitoneum duration and CO 2 insufflation volume on the difference between core and intraperitoneal temperatures. Implementing adequate external warming during laparoscopic surgery effectively maintains core temperature despite the use of dry and unwarmed CO 2 gases, but peritoneal hypothermia remains a concern, suggesting the importance of further research into regional effects.Trial registration: Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT04294758., (© 2024.

10. Role of Volatile Organic Compounds Produced by Kosakonia cowanii Cp1 during Competitive Colonization Interaction against Pectobacterium aroidearum SM2.

Author: Mena Navarro MP, Espinosa Bernal MA, Martinez-Avila AE, Aponte Pineda LS, Montes Flores LA, Chan Ku CD, Hernández Gómez YF, González Espinosa J, Pacheco Aguilar JR, Ramos López MÁ, Arvizu Gómez JL, Saldaña Gutierrez C, Rodríguez Morales JA, Amaro Reyes A, Hernández Flores JL, and Campos Guillén J
Abstract: The competitive colonization of bacteria on similar ecological niches has a significant impact during their establishment. The synthesis speeds of different chemical classes of molecules during early competitive colonization can reduce the number of competitors through metabolic effects. In this work, we demonstrate for the first time that Kosakonia cowanii Cp1 previously isolated from the seeds of Capsicum pubescens R. P. produced volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during competitive colonization against Pectobacterium aroidearum SM2, affecting soft rot symptoms in serrano chili ( Capsicum annuum L.). The pathogen P. aroidearum SM2 was isolated from the fruits of C. annuum var. Serrano with soft rot symptoms. The genome of the SM2 strain carries a 5,037,920 bp chromosome with 51.46% G + C content and 4925 predicted protein-coding genes. It presents 12 genes encoding plant-cell-wall-degrading enzymes (PCDEWs), 139 genes involved in five types of secretion systems, and 16 genes related to invasion motility. Pathogenic essays showed soft rot symptoms in the fruits of C. annuum L., Solanum lycopersicum , and Physalis philadelphica and the tubers of Solanum tuberosum . During the growth phases of K. cowanii Cp1, a mix of VOCs was identified by means of HS-SPME-GC-MS. Of these compounds, 2,5-dimethyl-pyrazine showed bactericidal effects and synergy with acetoin during the competitive colonization of K. cowanii Cp1 to completely reduce soft rot symptoms. This work provides novel evidence grounding a better understanding of bacterial interactions during competitive colonization on plant tissue, where VOC synthesis is essential and has a high potential capacity to control pathogenic microorganisms in agricultural systems.

Abstract: Chili powder is an important condiment around the world. However, according to various reports, the presence of pathogenic microorganisms could present a public health risk factor during its consumption. Therefore, microbiological quality assessment is required to understand key microbial functional traits, such as antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). In this study, metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) and bioinformatics analysis were used to characterize the comprehensive profiles of the bacterial community and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in 15 chili powder samples from different regions of Mexico. The initial bacterial load showed aerobic mesophilic bacteria (AMB) ranging between 6 × 10 3 and 7 × 10 8 CFU/g, sporulated mesophilic bacteria (SMB) from 4.3 × 10 3 to 2 × 10 9 CFU/g, and enterobacteria (En) from <100 to 2.3 × 10 6 CFU/g. The most representative families in the samples were Bacillaceae and Enterobacteriaceae , in which 18 potential pathogen-associated species were detected. In total, the resistome profile in the chili powder contained 68 unique genes, which conferred antibiotic resistance distributed in 13 different classes. Among the main classes of antibiotic resistance genes with a high abundance in almost all the samples were those related to multidrug, tetracycline, beta-lactam, aminoglycoside, and phenicol resistance. Our findings reveal the utility of mNGS in elucidating microbiological quality in chili powder to reduce the public health risks and the spread of potential pathogens with antibiotic resistance mechanisms.

12. Quantum Molecular Resonance Radiofrequency Disc Decompression and Percutaneous Microdiscectomy for Lumbar Radiculopathy.

Author: Canós-Verdecho Á, Robledo R, Izquierdo RM, Bermejo A, Gallach E, Abejón D, Argente-Navarro MP, Peraita-Costa I, and Morales-Suárez-Varela M
Abstract: Within the practice of pain management, one of the most commonly encountered events is low back pain. Lumbar radiculopathy (LR) is a pain syndrome caused by the compression or irritation of the nerve roots in the lower back due to lumbar disc herniation, vertebra degeneration, or foramen narrowing. Symptoms of LR include low back pain that propagates toward the legs, numbness, weakness, and loss of reflexes. The aim of this study is to assess the long-term effectiveness of quantum molecular resonance disc decompression and its combination with a percutaneous microdiscectomy using Grasper© forceps (QMRG) in patients with persistent lumbar radiculopathy (LR) in relation to patient physical stress status. The main outcome measures of this prospective observational study were DN4, NRS, ODI, SF12, PGI, CGI, and MOS Sleep Scale. An improvement 12 months post-intervention was observed in patients without physical stress, presenting better overall results. The mean change was over the minimal clinically important difference in 64.3% of outcome measures studied for the whole sample. QMRG appears to be an effective treatment option for LR, but a reduction in physical stress is needed to ensure long-term effectiveness.

Abstract: Background: Paliperidone palmitate 6-monthly (PP6M) is the first long-acting antipsychotic injectable (LAI) to allow for only two medication administrations per year, though there is presently limited insight into its effectiveness and potential added value in real clinical practice conditions., Objectives: To present our ongoing study and draw its preliminary data on patient characteristics initiating PP6M and adherence during the first year of treatment., Methods: The paliperidone 2 per year (P2Y) study is a 4-year, multicentre, prospective mirror-image pragmatic study taking place at over 20 different sites in Europe. The mirror period covers 2 years either side of the PP6M LAI initiation. Retrospective data for the previous 2 years are collected for each patient from the electronic health records. Prospective data are recorded at baseline, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months of drug administration and also cover information on concomitant psychiatric medication, relapses, hospital admissions, side effects, discontinuation and its reasons. Meanwhile, here we present preliminary data from the P2Y study at basal and 6-month period (first and second PP6M administration)., Results: At the point of PP6M initiation, the most frequent diagnosis was schizophrenia (69%), the clinical global impression scale mean score was 3.5 (moderately markedly ill) and the rate of previous hospital admissions per patient and year was 0.21. PP6M was initiated after a median of 3-4 years on previous treatment: 146 (73%) from paliperidone palmitate 3-monthly, 37 (19%) from paliperidone palmitate 1-monthly and 17 (9%) from other antipsychotics. The mean dose of the first PP6M was 1098.9 mg. The retention rate at 6 months and 1 year of treatment on PP6M in our cohort was 94%., Conclusion: Patient and clinician preference for LAIs with longer dosing intervals was the main reason for PP6M initiation/switching resulting in high treatment persistence. Future data are needed to evaluate the full impact of PP6M in clinical practice., Competing Interests: JAGC received speaking honoraria from Janssen-Cilag Inc., advisor honoraria from Teva and research and speaking honoraria from Neuraxpharm, all of them outside the submitted work.

Subjects: Humans, Cross-Over Studies, Postoperative Complications epidemiology, Postoperative Complications prevention & control, Anesthesia, General, Neostigmine, Delayed Emergence from Anesthesia, Neuromuscular Blockade
Abstract: Background: The incidence of postoperative residual curarisation remains unacceptably high. We assessed whether an educational intervention on perioperative neuromuscular block management can reduce it., Methods: In this multicentre, cluster randomised crossover trial, centres were allocated to receive an educational intervention either in a first or a second period. The educational intervention consisted of a lecture about neuromuscular management key points, including quantitative neuromuscular monitoring and use of reversal agents. The lecture was streamed to allow repetition. Additionally, memory cards were distributed in each operating theatre. The primary outcome was postoperative residual curarisation in the PACU. Secondary outcomes were frequency of quantitative neuromuscular monitoring, use of reversal agents, and incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications during hospital stay. Measurements were performed before randomisation and after the first and the second period. The effect of the educational intervention was estimated using multivariable mixed effects logistic regression models., Results: We included 2314 subjects in 34 Spanish centres. Postoperative residual curarisation incidence was not affected by the educational intervention (odds ratio [OR] 0.90 [95% confidence interval {CI}: 0.51-1.58]; P=0.717 and 1.30 [0.73-2.30]; P=0.371] for first and second time-period interaction). The educational intervention increased the quantitative neuromuscular monitor usage (OR 2.04 [95% CI: 1.31-3.19]; P=0.002), the use of reversal agents was unchanged (OR 0.79 [95% CI: 0.50-1.26]; P=0.322), and the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications decreased (OR 0.19 [95% CI: 0.10-0.35]; P<0.001)., Conclusions: An educational intervention on perioperative neuromuscular block management did not reduce the incidence of postoperative residual curarisation nor increase reversal, despite increased quantitative neuromuscular monitoring. Sugammadex reversal was associated with reduced postoperative residual curarisation. The educational intervention was associated with a decrease in postoperative pulmonary complications., Clinical Trial Registration: NCT03128151., (Copyright © 2023 British Journal of Anaesthesia.

15. Effects of high-intensity interval training with an eccentric hamstring exercise program in futsal players: A randomized controlled trial.

Author: Gómez EM, Atef H, Elsayed SH, Zakaria HM, Navarro MP, and Sulé EM
Subjects: Humans, Young Adult, Adult, Exercise, Exercise Therapy, High-Intensity Interval Training, Sports, Hamstring Muscles
Abstract: Background: Physiotherapy protocols based on high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or eccentric hamstring exercises like Nordic Curl (NC) have been scarcely studied in futsal players. The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of a HIIT combined with an NC exercise program versus a HIIT-only program in futsal players., Methods: Twenty-one futsal players were divided into (1) HIIT + NC group (n = 11, mean age = 21.55 [4.25]); and (2) HIIT group (n = 10, mean age = 20.90 [1.29]). The HIIT + NC group performed a HIIT circuit combined with 3 sets of 10 NC repetitions for 4 weeks, while the HIIT group performed the same protocol without NC exercise. Body mass index, intermittent work performance, vertical jump performance without and with arms, isometric strength of quadriceps and hamstrings, and the isometric hamstrings/quadriceps (H/Q) ratio, were assessed before and after the interventions., Results: The HIIT + NC group and the HIIT group showed a significant improvement in intermittent work performance after the intervention (P = .04 and P = .01, respectively). Also, both groups showed a trend of increasing quadriceps and hamstring isometric strength, although no significant changes were found (P > .05). In addition, neither the HIIT + NC protocol nor the HIIT protocol was sufficient to yield changes in body mass index nor to improve the vertical jump performance (P > .05)., Conclusion: Both an isolated HIIT protocol and HIIT in combination with NC exercise improved intermittent work performance in futsal players. The present study's findings may guide futsal players' physical preparation and injury prevention programs., Competing Interests: The authors have no conflicts of interest to disclose., (Copyright © 2023 the Author(s).

Subjects: Male, Adolescent, Humans, Female, Cross-Sectional Studies, Colombia epidemiology, Students, Dental, Pandemics, Feeding and Eating Disorders epidemiology
Abstract: Background: Eating disorders (EDs) are considered a public health problem. Scientific research has focused on teenagers due to their higher prevalence in this population. However, other groups, such as university students, may be exposed to suffering from EDs due to their academic, social and personal characteristics. Identifying the magnitude of EDs and the associated characteristics may impact the generation of prevention strategies., Objectives: The aim of the present study was to establish the prevalence of the risk of EDs (anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN)) and the associated factors in dental students at the University of Antioquia, Medellín, Colombia.., Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 278 students (76 males, 202 females) with the use of a Google-Forms survey. The validated Spanish version of the Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26) and the Sick, Control, One Stone, Fat, Food (SCOFF) questionnaire were used. Other recorded variables included sociodemographic data, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related factors, health, and social support (the Duke-11 profile). The bivariate analysis of the risk of EDs was conducted according to different variables (95% confidence interval (CI)), followed by the logistic regression models adjusting for different variables (adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR) and 95% CI)., Results: According to EAT-26, the risk of EDs was 27.6% (18.8-38.6) for males and 28.7% (22.9-35.3) for females. However, differences between males and females were higher when the SCOFF questionnaire was applied (males: 6.6% (2.8-14.5); females: 22.3% (17.1-28.5); p < 0.01). According to the SCOFF instrument, after adjusting for sociodemographic and health variables, women were more likely to report the symptoms of EDs (aPR: 2.20; 95% CI: 1.06-4.57). Women receiving information from social networks were more likely to report the symptoms of EDs (aPR: 1.85; 95% CI: 1.19-2.88). Multivariate models showed that women reporting poor self-rated health and some symptoms during the mandatory confinement caused by the COVID-19 pandemic were more likely to report the symptoms of EDs., Conclusions: A higher risk of EDs was found in dental students. Healthcare, psychological and/or psychiatric interviews, and educational/early prevention strategies are required.

17. An Individualized Low-Pneumoperitoneum-Pressure Strategy May Prevent a Reduction in Liver Perfusion during Colorectal Laparoscopic Surgery.

Author: Olmedilla Arnal LE, Cambronero OD, Mazzinari G, Pérez Peña JM, Zorrilla Ortúzar J, Rodríguez Martín M, Vila Montañes M, Schultz MJ, Rovira L, Argente Navarro MP, and On Behalf Of The IPPColLapSe Ii Investigators
Abstract: High intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) during laparoscopic surgery is associated with reduced splanchnic blood flow. It is uncertain whether a low IAP prevents this reduction. We assessed the effect of an individualized low-pneumoperitoneum-pressure strategy on liver perfusion. This was a single-center substudy of the multicenter 'Individualized Pneumoperitoneum Pressure in Colorectal Laparoscopic Surgery versus Standard Therapy II study' (IPPCollapse-II), a randomized clinical trial in which patients received an individualized low-pneumoperitoneum strategy (IPP) or a standard pneumoperitoneum strategy (SPP). Liver perfusion was indirectly assessed by the indocyanine green plasma disappearance rate (ICG-PDR) and the secondary endpoint was ICG retention rate after 15 min (R 15 ) using pulse spectrophotometry. Multivariable beta regression was used to assess the association between group assignment and ICG-PDR and ICG-R 15 . All 29 patients from the participating center were included. Median IAP was 8 (25th-75th percentile: 8-10) versus 12 (12,12) mmHg, in IPP and SPP patients, respectively ( p < 0.001). ICG-PDR was higher (OR 1.42, 95%-CI 1.10-1.82; p = 0.006) and PDR-R 15 was lower in IPP patients compared with SPP patients (OR 0.46, 95%-CI 0.29-0.73; p = 0.001). During laparoscopic colorectal surgery, an individualized low pneumoperitoneum may prevent a reduction in liver perfusion.

Abstract: Purpose of Review: Antagonists of mu-opioid receptor role in cancer progression remains to be elucidated. The objective of this review was to summarize the available evidence on antagonists of mu-opioid receptor effect on tumor progression and prognosis in different types of cancers and an evaluation of the available findings on their mechanism of action., Recent Findings: We have found studies related to methylnaltrexone (MNTX) and naltrexone (NTX) usage in cancer outcomes-related setting. We found consistent preclinical evidence of a potential action of MNTX and NTX on cancer growth and spread mediated mainly by effect on the opioid growth factor receptor (OGFr) axis, which results in depressed cell replication. However, clinical results are scarce and limited to poor-quality evidence. Further high-quality studies are warranted to study antagonists of mu-opioid receptor role as a therapeutic option in different types of cancer, especially in patients where the classical treatment causes unacceptable side effects., (© 2022.

19. Thermal and Rheological Characterization of Aqueous Nanofluids Based on Reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO) with Manganese Dioxide Nanocomposites (MnO 2 ).

Author: Lozano-Steinmetz F, Ramírez-Navarro MP, Vivas L, Vasco DA, Singh DP, and Zambra-Sazo C
Abstract: Nanofluids have become of interest in recent years thanks to their improved thermal properties, which make them especially interesting for microchannel heat sink applications. In this study, we prepared two aqueous nanofluids based on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) decorated with manganese dioxide (MnO2) at a concentration of 0.1 wt.%. The difference between the two nanofluids was in the preparation of the reduced graphene oxide decorated with MnO2. In the first case, the manganese salt was mixed with ascorbic acid before GO reduction with NaOH, and in the second case, the GO reduction with NaOH occurred under ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid not only plays the role of a non-toxic and ecofriendly reducing agent but also acts as an important parameter to control the reaction kinetics. The structural, microstructural and spectral characterizations of the MnO2/rGO nanocomposite were conducted via X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, FT-IR, TEM, SEM and EDS analyses. Moreover, the synthesized MnO2/rGO nanocomposites were utilized as nanofluids and their stability, thermal conductivity and rheological behaviors were studied. The thermal conductivity of the MnO2/rGO and MnO2AsA/rGO nanofluids was 17% and 14.8% higher than that of water for the average temperature range, respectively, but their viscosity remained statistically equal to that of water. Moreover, both nanofluids presented Newtonian behavior in the analyzed shear rate range. Therefore, both MnO2/rGO and MnO2AsA/rGO nanofluids are promising alternatives for use in applications with micro- and millichannel heat sinks.

Subjects: Bradycardia, Colonoscopy, Humans, Hypnotics and Sedatives adverse effects, Anesthesiology, Propofol adverse effects
Abstract: Introduction: Out of operating room sedation with propofol by non-anaesthesiologists (Non Anaesthesiologist Administration of Propofol: NAAP) is a growing practice. This is due to the increase in minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures requiring sedation, and the difficulty of anaesthesiology services to respond adequately to this demand., Objective: The main objective of this study is to assess the safety of a programme of nurse sedationist-administered target controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol in colonoscopies supervised by anaesthesiologists., Material and Methods: Over a period of 6 months, all ASA I and II patients who required colonoscopy and met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. A total of 381 colonoscopies were performed. Episodes of desaturation, hypo- or hypertension, bradycardia or tachyarrhythmia and the need for anaesthesiology assistance during sedation were analysed. After the procedure, patient satisfaction was assessed on a scale of 1-5, and pain was assessed on a numerical verbal scale of 1-5., Results: A small percentage (5%) of patients presented oxygen saturation of less than 90%, without requiring mask ventilation; 7.35% presented hypotension, 3.94% presented bradycardia, and the supervising anaesthesiologist was called in 22% of cases. Patient satisfaction at the end of the procedure was 4.27 out of 5., Conclusion: Sedation during colonoscopy in ASA I and II patients following an agreed protocol can be safely administered by nurse sedationists under the supervision of an anaesthesiologist., (Copyright © 2021 Sociedad Española de Anestesiología, Reanimación y Terapéutica del Dolor.

21. Opioid Receptor Expression in Colorectal Cancer: A Nested Matched Case-Control Study.

Author: Belltall A, Mazzinari G, Garrido-Cano I, Giner F, Marí AM, Eroles P, Argente-Navarro MP, Cata JP, and Diaz-Cambronero O
Abstract: Background: There is growing interest in the possible effect of perioperative anesthetic management on the growth and spread of cancer. The impact of perioperative use of opioids on cancer recurrence remains controversial and an assessment cannot yet be established based on current publications. This study aimed to assess the differential expression of opioid receptors between healthy and tumor tissues in patients with stage II and III colorectal cancer undergoing elective surgery by immunohistochemistry (IHC)., Methods: Propensity-score matched case-control study nested in a retrospective cohort of patients with stage II or III colorectal. The primary endpoint was the difference in µ-opioid receptor (MOR) expression measured by IHC between tumor and healthy tissue in subject with or without recurrence. Secondary endpoints were to evaluate the differences in Opioid Growth Factor Receptor (OGFR), cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) production and protein kinase A (PKA) in the matched sample and from a from samples of colorectal cancer stored in the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype Tissue Expression Project (GTEx)., Results: There was a significant difference in MOR receptor (median 3 [intequartile range IQR: 1-3] and 0 [IQR: 0-2], P<0.001) and OGFR receptor (median 6 [IQR: 5-6] and 2 [IQR: 1-2], P<0.001) in tumor and control tissue respectively. However, there were no significant differences in cAMP nor PKA expression between both types of tissues and in expression in any of the analyzed variables by recurrence status. The MOR and OGFR expression data from TCGA database were similar to our sample size data with lower expression of MOR and higher expression of OGFR in tumoural samples with a skewed distribution for MOR expression in tumor tissue both in patients with and without recurrence., Conclusion: In patients with stage II and III colorectal cancer, overall expression of MOR and OGFR was significantly increased but was not different between previously matched patients with or without recurrence. No differences were found in the analyzed metabolic pathway of cAMP-PKA: These results were confirmed by an in silico analysis of samples from the TCGA-GTEx database., Competing Interests: OD-C: Received payment for educational talks and scientific conferences from MSD (Merck Sharp & Dohme, Inc.). The remaining authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2022 Belltall, Mazzinari, Garrido-Cano, Giner, Marí, Eroles, Argente-Navarro, Cata and Diaz-Cambronero.)

Abstract: Background and Objective: Inappropriate prescribing (IP) is an important cause of health problems among elderly and complex chronic patients (CCPs)., Objective: Surveillance of IP prevalence among elderly and CCPs in a health department. IP time trends across the period 2015-2019., Method: Descriptive population-based study., Setting: 'València-Clínic-Malvarrosa' Health Department, Valencia, Spain., Period: 2015-2019., Subjects: Complete set of CCPs in the department, defined by clinical risk groups. Number of CCPs (annual average in the period): 9102 (75% ≥65 years of age). IP was measured using an indicator consisting of 13 specific types of prescriptions defined as inappropriate., Analyses: frequencies and time trends, both overall and by specific type., Results: Overall prevalence of IP ranged from 0.276 (2015) to 0.289 (2018) per patient, without time trend. The most frequent inappropriate prescription was type 1: "≥75 years of age with inappropriate medication", which showed a stable rate across the period. Some types of inappropriate prescriptions displayed favourable decreasing time trends, while others showed no change or an unfavourable trend (i.e., joint prescription of absorbents and urinary antispasmodics)., Conclusions: IP prevalence is a serious and persistent problem among the elderly and CCPs, especially in the oldest. It is therefore necessary its continuous surveillance (overall and by specific types of prescription). As well as interventions to optimise prescribing, thus improving the quality and efficiency of care for the elderly and CCPs., (Copyright © 2022 SEGG. Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L.U.

Subjects: Administration, Oral, Delayed-Action Preparations, Humans, Injections, Spain, Antipsychotic Agents administration & dosage, Borderline Personality Disorder drug therapy, Off-Label Use statistics & numerical data
Abstract: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the use of oral vs. long-acting injectables (LAIs) antipsychotics, as well as, to compare the effectiveness of different LAI antipsychotics [aripiprazole-1-month, paliperidone-1-month (PP1M), paliperidone-3-month (PP3M) and risperidone long-acting injectable (RLAI)] in patients diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD), by evaluating the following clinical outcomes: (1) the number of hospital admissions; (2) the number of documented suicidal behaviour/attempts; and (3) the use of concomitant treatments, including benzodiazepines, oral antipsychotics and biperiden. We included a total of 116 patients diagnosed with BPD and treated with antipsychotic medication: 50 using a LAI antipsychotic formulation and 66 using the equivalent main oral antipsychotic. Patients treated with LAIs showed a decreased ratio of visits to emergency compared with the oral treatment group, and between LAIs, PP3M vs. aripiprazole-1-month group. Furthermore, patients treated with LAIs used lower number and dose of concomitant antipsychotics compared with patients treated with oral antipsychotics. Moreover, PP1M and PP3M used lower daily dose of diazepam equivalents compared with the aripiprazole-1-month and RLAI treatment groups. In conclusion, the use of LAIs may play a role in the management of BPD., (Copyright © 2021 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved.)

Subjects: Abdomen, Adult, Bayes Theorem, Humans, Pneumoperitoneum, Artificial, Abdominal Cavity, Insufflation, Laparoscopy, Pneumoperitoneum
Abstract: During pneumoperitoneum, intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is usually kept at 12-14 mmHg. There is no clinical benefit in IAP increments if they do not increase intra-abdominal volume IAV. We aimed to estimate IAV (ΔIAV) and respiratory driving pressure changes (Δ P RS ) in relation to changes in IAP (ΔIAP). We carried out a patient-level meta-analysis of 204 adult patients with available data on IAV and Δ P RS during pneumoperitoneum from three trials assessing the effect of IAP on postoperative recovery and airway pressure during laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia. The primary endpoint was ΔIAV, and the secondary endpoint was Δ P RS . The endpoints' response to ΔIAP was modeled using mixed multivariable Bayesian regression to estimate which mathematical function best fitted it. IAP values on the pressure-volume (PV) curve where the endpoint rate of change according to IAP decreased were identified. Abdomino-thoracic transmission (ATT) rate, that is, the rate Δ P RS change to ΔIAP was also estimated. The best-fitting function was sigmoid logistic and linear for IAV and Δ P RS response, respectively. Increments in IAV reached a plateau at 6.0 [95%CI 5.9-6.2] L. ΔIAV for each ΔIAP decreased at IAP ranging from 9.8 [95%CI 9.7-9.9] to 12.2 [12.0-12.3] mmHg. ATT rate was 0.65 [95%CI 0.62-0.68]. One mmHg of IAP raised Δ P RS 0.88 cmH 2 O. During pneumoperitoneum, IAP has a nonlinear relationship with IAV and a linear one with Δ P RS . IAP should be set below the point where IAV gains diminish. NEW & NOTEWORTHY We found that intra-abdominal volume changes related to intra-abdominal pressure increase reached a plateau with diminishing gains in commonly used pneumoperitoneum pressure ranges. We also found a linear relationship between intra-abdominal pressure and respiratory driving pressure, a known marker of postoperative pulmonary complications.

Subjects: Drug Prescriptions, Female, Humans, Risk Factors, Spain, Benzodiazepines adverse effects, Mental Health
Abstract: Purpose: we aimed 1) to evaluate the risk factors associated to the benzodiazepines intake; 2) to assess the impact about the use of long acting injectables antipsychotics (LAIs); 3) to assess the risk in severe and affective disorders and 4) to identify the prescription patterns of use in mental health in a cohort of patients from Spain., Methods: 735 outpatients from Mental Health were included. Demographic and clinical data were collected. In order to compare the use of benzodiazepines we calculated the daily dose equivalents (mg/day) to diazepam as standard., Results: The most commonly prescribed benzodiazepine was clonazepam (33%) and the mean daily dose of diazepam equivalents was 24.9 mg. It was higher in affective disorders (40.35 ± 3.36) and lower in patients using LAIs antipsychotics (17.50 ± 1.39; p = 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that to be women (OR = 1.559, 95% CI = 1.059-2.295, p = 0.024), the use of drugs (OR = 1.671, 95% CI = 1.127-2.477, p = 0.011) and suffering any affective disorder (OR = 1.542, 95% CI = 1.355-1.826, p = 0.040) increased the risk of benzodiazepine intake. In contrast, the use of LAIs antipsychotics significantly reduced it versus oral antipsychotics (OR = 5.226, 95% CI = 3.185-8.575, p = 0.001)., Conclusions: benzodiazepines are widely prescribed, mainly clonazepam followed by lorazepam and diazepam. Most of patients used at least one benzodiazepine and the mean daily intake was 25 mg diazepam equivalents. Therefore, benzodiazepines are extensively prescribed and used at higher doses than desirable. These, findings could be useful for clinicians and their practice., (Copyright © 1964–2019 by MedWorks Media Inc, Los Angeles, CA All rights reserved. Printed in the United States.)

Abstract: To date, only a few studies compared some long-acting injectables (LAIs) antipsychotics showing similar symptom improvement, relapse rates and adherence to treatment. We evaluated the use of LAIs antipsychotics [aripiprazole-1-month (A1M); paliperidone-1-month and 3-month (PP1M and PP3M) and biweekly (2w)-LAIs] and their corresponding oral formulations through (1) the number of hospital re-admissions, (2) the number of documented suicidal behaviour/attempts and (3) the use of concomitant benzodiazepines, oral antipsychotics and biperiden. A total of 277 patients, ≥18 years old, were included if were treated with the corresponding oral or LAI antipsychotic during at least 12 months and were previously diagnosed with schizophrenia. Our results showed that LAIs associated significantly lower suicidal behaviour, reduced the number of hospital admissions, lower diazepam and haloperidol equivalents and mean daily dose of biperiden intake versus oral antipsychotics. Furthermore, significant differences were found between LAIs. Specifically, PP3M was associated to lower hospital admissions versus A1M; PP1M and PP3M lower doses of diazepam equivalents versus 2w-LAIs and finally, PP1M lower antipsychotic intake versus 2w-LAIs. In conclusion, LAIs improved clinical outcomes by reducing the need for concomitant treatments and hospital admissions over oral antipsychotics. PP1M and PP3M showed better outcomes versus A1M and biweekly LAIs.

Abstract: Objective: To determine micafungin plasma levels and pharmacokinetic behavior in patients treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation., Methods: The samples were taken through an access point before and after the membrane in two tertiary hospitals in Spain. The times for the calculation of pharmacokinetic curves were before the administration of the drug and 1, 3, 5, 8, 18 and 24 hours after the beginning of the infusion on days one and four. The area under the curve, drug clearance, volume of distribution and plasma half-life time with a noncompartmental pharmacokinetic data analysis were calculated., Results: The pharmacokinetics of the values analyzed on the first and fourth day of treatment did not show any concentration difference between the samples taken before the membrane (Cin) and those taken after the membrane (Cout), and the pharmacokinetic behavior was similar with different organ failures. The area under the curve (AUC) before the membrane on day 1 was 62.1 (95%CI 52.8 - 73.4) and the AUC after the membrane on this day was 63.4 (95%CI 52.4 - 76.7), p = 0.625. The AUC before the membrane on day 4 was 102.4 (95%CI 84.7 - 142.8) and the AUC was 100.9 (95%CI 78.2 - 138.8), p = 0.843., Conclusion: The pharmacokinetic parameters of micafungin were not significantly altered.

Abstract: Background and Objective: Long-acting injectable antipsychotics (LAIs) have been widely studied in schizophrenia and evidence suggests that they could be also used for the treatment of bipolar and schizoaffective disorders. Nonetheless, there are no studies evaluating their role in other psychiatric disorders. We aimed to evaluate the use of the newest monthly and 3-monthly LAIs-aripiprazole once monthly, paliperidone 1- and 3-monthly (PP1M, PP3M)-against the 2-weekly LAIs, using the following clinical outcomes: (1) the number of hospital re-admissions, (2) the number of documented suicidal behaviors/attempts, and (3) the use of concomitant treatments, including benzodiazepines, oral antipsychotics, and biperiden., Methods: A total of 431 patients were included who were treated with the corresponding LAI over at least 12 months and were previously diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder. Statistical analyses were performed using an ANCOVA model, Student's t test, and the Pearson's r test., Results: Our results showed significantly decreased re-admissions using PP3M versus the bi-weekly LAIs and aripiprazole once monthly, while no significant differences were found in suicidal behavior. Furthermore, we found a significantly lower intake of benzodiazepines in PP1M and PP3M groups versus the bi-weekly and aripiprazole once-monthly groups. In addition, patients treated with PP1M and PP3M used a significantly lower dose of haloperidol equivalents versus the bi-weekly LAIs group. Finally, significantly higher doses of biperiden were used by the bi-weekly LAIs group., Conclusion: In conclusion, paliperidone LAIs reduced hospital re-admissions and, as aripiprazole once monthly, lowered concomitant psychiatric medication versus the bi-weekly LAIs. Further research and analysis of subgroups are needed; however, these findings might be useful for clinicians.

29. Mu Opioid Receptor 1 (MOR-1) Expression in Colorectal Cancer and Oncological Long-Term Outcomes: A Five-Year Retrospective Longitudinal Cohort Study.

Author: Díaz-Cambronero O, Mazzinari G, Giner F, Belltall A, Ruiz-Boluda L, Marqués-Marí A, Sánchez-Guillén L, Eroles P, Cata JP, and Argente-Navarro MP
Abstract: Preclinical evidence has shown increased expression of mu opioid receptor 1 (MOR-1) in colorectal cancer although its association with disease-free and overall survival (DFS and OS) has not been investigated. We hypothesized that MOR-1 was overexpressed in tumor samples compared to normal tissue and this was associated with decreased DFS and OS. We carried out a retrospective study assessing the association of MOR-1 tumor expression with long-term outcomes by immunohistochemistry in normal and tumor samples from 174 colorectal cancer patients. The primary endpoint was five years of DFS. Secondary endpoints were five years of OS, the difference in MOR-1 expression between normal and tumor tissue and the occurrence of postoperative complications. Multivariable Cox regression showed no significant association between MOR-1 expression and DFS (HR 0.791, 95% CI 0.603-1.039, p = 0.092). MOR-1 expression was higher in tumor tissue compared to non-tumor tissue. No associations were found between MOR-1 expression and OS or postoperative complications. These findings suggest that although MOR-1 is over-expressed in colorectal cancer samples there is no association to increased risk of recurrence or mortality. Future studies are warranted to elucidate the role of cancer stage, genetic polymorphism, and quantitative assessment of MOR-1 over-expression on long-term outcomes in colorectal cancer.

Abstract: Background: A recent study shows that a multifaceted strategy using an individualised intra-abdominal pressure titration strategy during colorectal laparoscopic surgery results in an acceptable workspace at low intra-abdominal pressure in most patients. The multifaceted strategy, focused on lower to individualised intra-abdominal pressures, includes prestretching the abdominal wall during initial insufflation, deep neuromuscular blockade, low tidal volume ventilation settings and a modified lithotomy position. The study presented here tests the hypothesis that this strategy improves outcomes of patients scheduled for colorectal laparoscopic surgery., Methods: The Individualized Pneumoperitoneum Pressure in Colorectal Laparoscopic Surgery versus Standard Therapy (IPPCollapse-II) study is a multicentre, two-arm, parallel-group, single-blinded randomised 1:1 clinical study that runs in four academic hospitals in Spain. Patients scheduled for colorectal laparoscopic surgery with American Society of Anesthesiologists classification I to III who are aged > 18 years and are without cognitive deficits are randomised to an individualised pneumoperitoneum pressure strategy (the intervention group) or to a conventional pneumoperitoneum pressure strategy (the control group). The primary outcome is recovery assessed with the Post-operative Quality of Recovery Scale (PQRS) at postoperative day 1. Secondary outcomes include PQRS score in the post anaesthesia care unit and at postoperative day 3, postoperative complications until postoperative day 28, hospital length of stay and process-related outcomes., Discussion: The IPPCollapse-II study will be the first randomised clinical study that assesses the impact of an individualised pneumoperitoneum pressure strategy focused on working with the lowest intra-abdominal pressure during colorectal laparoscopic surgery on relevant patient-centred outcomes. The results of this large study, to be disseminated through conference presentations and publications in international peer-reviewed journals, are of ultimate importance for optimising the care and safety of laparoscopic abdominal surgery. Selection of patient-reported outcomes as the primary outcome of this study facilitates the translation into clinical practice. Access to source data will be made available through anonymised datasets upon request and after agreement of the Steering Committee of the IPPCollapse-II study., Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT02773173 .

Abstract: Overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system and central endothelins (ETs) are involved in the development of hypertension. Besides the well-known brain structures involved in the regulation of blood pressure like the hypothalamus or locus coeruleus, evidence suggests that the olfactory bulb (OB) also modulates cardiovascular function. In the present study, we evaluated the interaction between the endothelinergic and catecholaminergic systems in the OB of deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertensive rats. Following brain ET receptor type A (ET A ) blockade by BQ610 (selective antagonist), transcriptional, traductional, and post-traductional changes in tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) were assessed in the OB of normotensive and DOCA-salt hypertensive rats. Time course variations in systolic blood pressure and heart rate were also registered. Results showed that ET A blockade dose dependently reduced blood pressure in hypertensive rats, but it did not change heart rate. It also prevented the increase in TH activity and expression (mRNA and protein) in the right OB of hypertensive animals. However, ET A blockade did not affect hemodynamics or TH in normotensive animals. Present results support that brain ET A are not involved in blood pressure regulation in normal rats, but they significantly contribute to chronic blood pressure elevation in hypertensive animals. Changes in TH activity and expression were observed in the right but not in the left OB, supporting functional asymmetry, in line with previous studies regarding cardiovascular regulation. Present findings provide further evidence on the role of ETs in the regulation of catecholaminergic activity and the contribution of the right OB to DOCA-salt hypertension., Competing Interests: The authors declare no conflict of interest.

Abstract: In recent years there has been great progress with the implementation and utilization of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated protein (Cas) systems in the world of genetic engineering. Many forms of CRISPR-Cas9 have been developed as genome editing tools and techniques and, most recently, several non-genome editing CRISPR-Cas systems have emerged. Most of the CRISPR-Cas systems have been classified as either Class I or Class II and are further divided among several subtypes within each class. Research teams and companies are currently in dispute over patents for these CRISPR-Cas systems as numerous powerful applications are concurrently under development. This mini review summarizes the appearance of CRISPR-Cas systems with a focus on the predominant CRISPR-Cas9 system as well as the classifications and subtypes for CRISPR-Cas. Non-genome editing uses of CRISPR-Cas are also highlighted and a brief overview of the commercialization of CRISPR is provided.

Abstract: Bread crust (BC) is one of the major sources of Maillard reaction products (MRPs) in the Western diet. This work was designed to analyze the impact of diets containing important levels of MRPs from BC on intestinal bacterial growth and short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) production in adult rats. Additionally, the pools of compounds excreted in feces attending to their molecular weights were analyzed. Rats were fed for 88days a control diet or diets containing BC or its soluble high molecular weight (HMW), soluble low molecular weight (LMW) or insoluble fractions, respectively. Intestinal (cecum) microbiota composition was determined by qPCR analysis. Consumption of the BC diet lowered (P<0.05) Lactobacillus spp. and Bifidobacterium spp. log 10 counts (8 and 14%, respectively), an effect for which soluble LMW and HMW fractions of BC seemed to be responsible. In these same animals, Escherichia/Shigella counts increased by around 45% (P<0.05), a fact which correlated with a higher production of formic acid in feces (r=0.8197, P=0.0458), and likely caused by the combined consumption of all MRPs contained in the BC. A significant 5-fold increment (P<0.05) was detected in the fecal proportion of propionic acid in the BC group, one of the products that have largely been associated with anti-inflammatory actions. Regarding the distribution of MRPs in feces, only the LMW fed group exhibited a predominance of those ranging between 90,000-1000Da, whereas the rest of the groups presented higher amounts of products above 90,000Da. It is concluded that dietary Maillard reaction products are in vivo fermented by the gut microbiota, thereby changing both the pattern of SCFAs production and the microbiota composition., (Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract: Purpose: To investigate the effects of the consumption of Maillard reaction products (MRPs) from bread crust (BC) on iron, copper and zinc body retention and tissue distribution, determining whether these effects are related to the molecular weight of browning products., Methods: During an 88-day study period, rats were fed a Control diet or diets containing BC as source of MRPs, its soluble high or low molecular weight fractions (BC, LMW or HMW diets). A mineral balance was conducted throughout the experiment to determine iron, copper and zinc retention. At day 88, animals were killed, blood was drawn for haemoglobin determination and some organs removed to analyse minerals., Results: Copper and zinc balances were unchanged, and scant modification detected in their body delivery. However, the Fe retention rate from the diet increased (13, 22 and 32 % for BC, LMW and HMW diets), and a parallel higher Fe body concentration was observed (13-18 % higher than the Control group). Incoming iron accumulated particularly in the liver, femur and small intestine, but functional iron tended to decrease, as reflected by haemoglobin levels., Conclusions: The long-term intake of BC or derivatives did not produce a notable effect on copper or zinc balances, although slightly increased iron retention rate and the body concentration of this mineral were observed. Iron accumulated in some organs, but the production of haemoglobin was not improved. In view of the differences observed between the effects of BC and its derivatives, our results underline the importance of working with real food matrices, where the joint presence of different components modulates the in vivo final effects.

35. Assessing the effects of model Maillard compound intake on iron, copper and zinc retention and tissue delivery in adult rats.

Abstract: The behaviour of dietary Maillard reaction compounds (MRP) as metal chelating polymers can alter mineral absorption and/or retention. Our aim in this study was to analyse the long-term effects of the consumption of model MRP from glucose-lysine heated for 90 min at 150 °C (GL) on iron, copper and zinc whole-body retention and tissue delivery. For 88 days, weaning rats were fed a Control diet or one containing 3% GL, until reaching the adult stage. During the experimental period a mineral balance was conducted to investigate the mineral retention. At day 88, the animals were sacrificed, blood was drawn for haemoglobin determination and some organs were removed. Copper and zinc balances were unaffected (Cu: 450 vs. 375 μg; Zn: 6.7 vs. 6.2 mg for Control and GL groups, respectively) and no change was observed in whole-body delivery. Iron retention, too, was unaltered (11.2 mg for Control and GL groups) but due to the tendency toward decreased body weight in the GL group (248 vs. 233 g for the Control and GL groups), whole-body iron concentration was 13% higher in the GL group than in the Control group. Absorbed iron accumulated particularly in the liver (144 vs. 190 μg g(-1) for the Control and GL groups), thus reducing haemoglobin levels. The long-term intake of MRP induced iron accumulation in the body but this did not result in enhanced iron functionality, since the haemoglobin concentration declined. Taking into account the findings of our research group's studies of young and adult rats, we now corroborate the hypothesis that the negative effect of GL MRP consumption on iron functionality takes place regardless of the animals' stage of life.
