Anthocyanin composition in fig (Ficus carica L.)

[EN] The anthocyanin composition was analysed in fig fruit (Ficus carica L.) from five different varieties (Colar, Cuello de Dama (green), Cuello de Dama (dark purple), Granilla and Bursa Siyahi). Fifteen anthocyanin pigments were detected, most of them containing cyanidin (Cy) as aglycone; some pelargonidin (Pg) derivatives were also found. Rutinose and glucose were present as substituting sugars, as well as acylation with malonic acid. Minor levels of peonidin 3-rutinose (Pn 3-rutinoside) in the pulp were also detected. Other noticeable aspects in the pigment composition of the fig were the detection of anthocyanidin-derived pigments, namely 5-carboxypyranocyanidin-3-rutinoside, a cyanidin 3-rutinose dimer and five condensed pigments containing C–C linked anthocyanins (Cy and Pg) and flavanol (catechin and epicatechin) residues. Total anthocyanin content in the skin ranged between 32 and 97 mgg 1 and between 1.5 and 15 mgg 1 in the pulp. The main anthocyanin in both parts of the fruit was Cy 3-rutinoside (48–81% in skin and 68–79% in pulp) usually followed by Cy 3-glucoside (5–18% in skin and 10–15% in pulp). Malonyl derivatives were more abundant in the skin (1.2–6.5%) than in the pulp (1.0–2.6%)

Case studies in physiology: Training adaptation in an elite athlete after breast cancer diagnosis.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity to return to competition of a 28-yr-old female 400-m hurdle elite athlete after a diagnosis of breast cancer. The study lasted 14 mo after diagnosis. She was tested four times (T1–T4) to measure body mass (BM), body mass index (BMI), percentage of total fat mass (TFM%), total fat-free mass (TFFM%), bone mineral density (BMD), one-repetition maximum (1RM), and maximal power (MP) in bench press and half squat, maximum oxygen uptake, and 400-m dash and hurdles. T0 (baseline time) was established with values before diagnosis. BM and BMI increased from T0 to T1 (5.3% and 5.2%) and remained stable. BMD experienced no change. TFM% values decreased from T1 to T4 (3.5%). TFFM% values increased from T1 to T3 (0.9%). During T1–T2, the athlete presented a global decline from T0 in 1RMSquat, 1RMBench, MPSquat, and MPBench (32.6%, 27.2%, 37.5%, and 27.6%, respectively). Results during T3–T4 were also lower for these parameters from T0 (23.3%, 20.6%, 23.4%, and 11%). During T1–T2, the V̇o2max declined compared with T0 (1.8% and 6.4%), showing a small increase at T3 (+1%) and reaching the lowest level at T4 (9%). During T1–T2, the time record of 400-m dash (8.3%) and hurdles (7.4%) increased. However, a slight improvement was found at T3 (1.3% and 0.6%, respectively). The results of this case study reflect that exercise training improved body composition, maintained BMD and TFFM, but could not completely reverse the worsening of the cardiorespiratory, muscle strength and power, and running performance levels.pre-print325 K

Valoración del alumnado sobre distintos formatos de vídeos utilizados en docencia inversa en prácticas de laboratorio

[EN] The students’opinion about the videos used in the flipped teaching in laboratory sessions is analized in this work. A survey with 7 multiple choice questions and one open question has been performed, obtanining 54 replies, from a total number of 155 students whi are attending the laboratory sessions. Students were asked about their preference between videos and written material (with some images), and about their preference between the three types of videos pffered: screencast (one of them including the image of the teacher and the other one with his/her voice only), and “Polimedia”. Results have shown that students prefer video files instead of written docuements when they have to prepare their laboratory sessions. Moreover, there is a statistically significant preference for the videos where the image of the professor is shown. On the other hand, despite the format of video “Poliformat” has been the best valuated, there are certain aspects to be added, as the valuation thay made of the other types of videos (which is also good), or the critrica comments on this format shown in the open question of the survey.[ES] En este trabajo se analiza la opinión de los estudiantes sobre los vídeosutilizados en la docencia inversa de prácticas de laboratorio. Se ha realizadouna encuesta con 7 preguntas de respuesta múltiple y una de respuesta abierta,contestada por 54 alumnos de los 155 que asisten al laboratorio. En ella sepregunta sobre la valoración del video frente documentos de texto e imagen,y sobre tres modelos de vídeo: dos de ellos responden al modelo de“screencast” (en uno de ellos está presente la imagen del profesor y en otrono) y el tercero es un “Polimedia”. Los resultados indican que los estudiantes,en general, prefieren archivos de video a documentos de texto para lapreparación de las prácticas de laboratorio. Además, se observa unapreferencia estadísticamente significativa a favor de los videos en los que semuestra la imagen del profesor. Por otra parte, aunque el formato de video“Polimedia” ha sido el mejor valorado, hay ciertos matices a destacar, comoes la valoración que hacen de los otros dos tipos de vídeos, que también esbuena, o los comentarios críticos con este formato mostrados en la preguntade respuesta abierta.Los autores agradecen al Instituto de Ciencias de la Educación de la universitat Politècnica de València su apoyo al grupo de Innovación e-MACAFI y al Proyecto PIME/2016/A/017.Gómez Tejedor, JA.; Martínez Sala, RM.; Meseguer Dueñas, JM.; Molina Mateo, J.; Quiles Casado, SDLS.; Riera Guasp, J.; Serrano Jareño, MA....

Long-Term Treatment and Effect of Discontinuation of Calcifediol in Postmenopausal Women with Vitamin D Deficiency: A Randomized Trial

Vitamin D plays a major role in bone health and probably also in multiple extraskeletal acute and chronic diseases. Although supplementation with calcifediol, a vitamin D metabolite, has demonstrated efficacy and safety in short-term clinical trials, its effects after long-term monthly administration have been studied less extensively. This report describes the results of a 1-year, phase III-IV, double-blind, randomized, controlled, parallel, multicenter superiority clinical trial to assess the efficacy and safety of monthly calcifediol 0.266 mg versus cholecalciferol 25,000 IU (0.625 mg) in postmenopausal women with vitamin D deficiency (25(OH)D < 20 ng/mL). A total of 303 women were randomized and 298 evaluated. Patients were randomized 1:1:1 to calcifediol 0.266 mg/month for 12 months (Group A1), calcifediol 0.266 mg/month for 4 months followed by placebo for 8 months (Group A2), and cholecalciferol 25,000 IU/month (0.625 mg/month) for 12 months (Group B). By month 4, stable 25(OH)D levels were documented with both calcifediol and cholecalciferol (intention-to-treat population): 26.8 ± 8.5 ng/mL (Group A1) and 23.1 ± 5.4 ng/mL (Group B). By month 12, 25(OH)D levels were 23.9 ± 8.0 ng/mL (Group A1) and 22.4 ± 5.5 ng/mL (Group B). When calcifediol treatment was withdrawn in Group A2, 25(OH)D levels decreased to baseline levels (28.5 ± 8.7 ng/mL at month 4 versus 14.4 ± 6.0 ng/mL at month 12). No relevant treatment-related safety issues were reported in any of the groups. The results confirm that long-term treatment with monthly calcifediol in vitamin D-deficient patients is effective and safe. The withdrawal of treatment leads to a pronounced decrease of 25(OH)D levels. Calcifediol presented a faster onset of action compared to monthly cholecalciferol. Long-term treatment produces stable and sustained 25(OH)D concentrations with no associated safety concerns.This study was funded by Faes Farma, S.A. and Bruno Farmaceutici S.p.A.

Calcifediol is superior to cholecalciferol in improving vitamin D status in postmenopausal women: a randomized trial

Vitamin D has shown to play a role in multiple diseases due to its skeletal and extraskeletal actions. Furthermore, vitamin D deficiency has become a worldwide health issue. Few supplementation guidelines mention calcifediol treatment, despite being the direct precursor of calcitriol and the biomarker of vitamin D status. This 1-year, phase III-IV, double-blind, randomized, controlled, multicenter clinical trial assessed the efficacy and safety of calcifediol 0.266 mg soft capsules in vitamin D-deficient postmenopausal women, compared to cholecalciferol. Results reported here are from a prespecified interim analysis, for the evaluation of the study's primary endpoint: the percentage of patients with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels above 30 ng/ml after 4 months. A total of 303 patients were enrolled, of whom 298 were included in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population. Patients with baseline levels of serum 25(OH)D <20 ng/ml were randomized 1:1:1 to calcifediol 0.266 mg/month for 12 months, calcifediol 0.266 mg/month for 4 months followed by placebo for 8 months, and cholecalciferol 25,000 IU/month for 12 months. At month 4, 35.0% of postmenopausal women treated with calcifediol and 8.2% of those treated with cholecalciferol reached serum 25(OH)D levels above 30 ng/ml (p < 0.0001). The most remarkable difference between both drugs in terms of mean change in serum 25(OH)D levels was observed after the first month of treatment (mean ± standard deviation change = 9.7 ± 6.7 and 5.1 ± 3.5 ng/ml in patients treated with calcifediol and cholecalciferol, respectively). No relevant treatment-related safety issues were reported in any of the groups studied. These results thus confirm that calcifediol is effective, faster, and more potent than cholecalciferol in raising serum 25(OH)D levels and is a valuable option for the treatment of vitamin D deficiency
