Composite cellulose fibre for affinity chromatography application

Affinity chromatographic supports is nowadays one of the most used and expensive consumable material for protein purification at the laboratory and industrial scale. The introduction of cost-effective materials is an important issue to address to spread the usefulness of this technology. Cotton fibres are a highly available natural material with excellent mechanical and structural properties which can be used for this propose. Nevertheless, fibre insolubility and low chemical reactivity are the major drawbacks to use this material for protein chromatography.In this work, a composite material prepared from polymethacrylate/cellulose fibres were used for the preparation of chromatographic materials containing immobilised proteins as adsorptive ligands. A green fluorescent protein and a protein A simil ligand containing cysteine in the terminal tags were immobilised onto the fibres by the epoxy-thiol chemistry. Buffer salt, pH, reaction time and pre-swelling procedure were optimised. Materials were characterised by fluorescence and electron microscopes, in addition to the binding capacity of the adsorbent materials.Fil: Carbajal, Maria Laura.

An arsenic fluorescent compound as a novel probe to study arsenic-binding proteins

Arsenic-binding proteins are under continuous research. Their identification and the elucidation of arsenic/ protein interaction mechanisms are important because the biological effects of these complexes may be related not only to arsenic but also to the arsenic/protein structure. Although many proteins bearing a CXXC motif have been found to bind arsenic in vivo, new tools are necessary to identify new arsenic targets and allow research on protein/ arsenic complexes. In this work, we analyzed the performance of the fluorescent compound APAO-FITC (synthesized from p-aminophenylarsenoxide, APAO, and fluorescein isothiocyanate, FITC) in arsenic/protein binding assays using thioredoxin 1 (Trx) as an arsenic-binding protein model. The Trx-APAO-FITC complex was studied through different spectroscopic techniques involving UV-Vis, fluorescence, atomic absorption, infrared and circular dichroism. Our results show that APAO-FITC binds efficiently and specifically to the Trx binding site, labeling the protein fluorescently, without altering its structure and activity. In summary, we were able to study a protein/ arsenic complex model, using APAO-FITC as a labeling probe. The use of APAO-FITC in the identification of different protein and cell targets, as well as in in vivo biodistribution studies, conformational studies of arsenicbinding proteins, and studies for the design of drug delivery systems for arsenic anti-cancer therapies, is highly promising.Fil: Femia, Lis.

Emerging technologies for the integration and intensification of downstream bioprocesses

Downstream processing is currently the major bottleneck for bioproduct generation. In contrast to the advances in fermentation processes, the tools used for downstream processes have struggled to keep pace in the last 20 years. Purification bottlenecks are quite serious, as these processes can account for up to 80% of the total production cost. Coupled with the emergence of new classes of bioproducts, for example, virus-like particles or plasmidic DNA, this has created a great need for superior alternatives. In this review, improved downstream technologies, including aqueous two-phase systems, expanded bed adsorption chromatography, convective flow systems, and fibre-based adsorbent systems, have been discussed. These adaptive methods are more suited to the burgeoning downstream processing needs of the future, enabling the cost-efficient production of new classes biomaterials with a high degree of purity, and thereby hold the promise to become indispensable tools in the pharmaceutical and food industries.Fil: D’Souza, Roy N..

Cohort Profile: The Cohorts Consortium of Latin America and the Caribbean (CC-LAC)

Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) are characterized by much diversity in terms of socio-economic status, ecol�ogy, environment, access to health care,1,2 as well as the fre�quency of risk factors for and prevalence or incidence of non-communicable diseases;3–7 importantly, these differen�ces are observed both between and within countries in LAC.8,9 LAC countries share a large burden of non�communicable (e.g. diabetes and hypertension) and cardio�vascular (e.g. ischaemic heart disease) diseases, with these conditions standing as the leading causes of morbidity, dis�ability and mortality in most of LAC.10–12 These epidemio�logical estimates—e.g. morbidity—cannot inform about risk factors or risk prediction, which are relevant to identify pre�vention avenues. Cohort studies, on the other hand, could provide this evidence. Pooled analysis, using data from mul�tiple cohort studies, have additional strengths such as in�creased statistical power and decreased statistical uncertainty.13 LAC cohort studies have been under-repre�sented,14 or not included at all,15–17 in international efforts aimed at pooling data from multiple cohort studies. We therefore set out to pool data from LAC cohorts to address research questions that individual cohort studies would not be able to answer. Drawing from previous successful regional enterprises (e.g. Asia Pacific Cohort Studies Collaboration),18,19 we established the Cohorts Consortium of Latin America and the Caribbean (CC-LAC). The main aim of the CC-LAC is to start a collaborative cohort data pooling in LAC to ex�amine the association between cardio-metabolic risk actors (e.g. blood pressure, glucose and lipids) and non�fatal and fatal cardiovascular outcomes (e.g. stroke or myocardial infarction). In so doing, we aim to provide re�gional risk estimates to inform disease burden metrics, as well as other ambitious projects including a cardiovascular risk score to strengthen cardiovascular prevention in LAC. Initial funding has been provided by a fellowship from the Wellcome Trust Centre for Global Health Research at Imperial College London (Strategic Award, Wellcome Trust–Imperial College Centre for Global Health Research, 100693/Z/12/Z). Additional funding is being provided by an International Training Fellowship from the Wellcome Trust (214185/Z/18/Z). At the time of writing, the daily operations and pooled database are hosted at Imperial College London, though a mid-term goal is to transfer this expertise and operations to LAC. The collaboration relies fundamentally on a strong regional network of health researchers and practitioners

Impact of common cardio-metabolic risk factors on fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular disease in Latin America and the Caribbean: an individual-level pooled analysis of 31 cohort studies

Background: Estimates of the burden of cardio-metabolic risk factors in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) rely on relative risks (RRs) from non-LAC countries. Whether these RRs apply to LAC remains un- known. Methods: We pooled LAC cohorts. We estimated RRs per unit of exposure to body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), total cholesterol (TC) and non-HDL cholesterol on fatal (31 cohorts, n = 168,287) and non-fatal (13 cohorts, n = 27,554) cardiovascular diseases, adjusting for regression dilution bias. We used these RRs and national data on mean risk factor levels to estimate the number of cardiovascular deaths attributable to non-optimal levels of each risk factor. Results: Our RRs for SBP, FPG and TC were like those observed in cohorts conducted in high-income countries; however, for BMI, our RRs were consistently smaller in people below 75 years of age. Across risk factors, we observed smaller RRs among older ages. Non-optimal SBP was responsible for the largest number of attributable cardiovascular deaths ranging from 38 per 10 0,0 0 0 women and 54 men in Peru, to 261 (Dominica, women) and 282 (Guyana, men). For non-HDL cholesterol, the lowest attributable rate was for women in Peru (21) and men in Guatemala (25), and the largest in men (158) and women (142) from Guyana. Interpretation: RRs for BMI from studies conducted in high-income countries may overestimate disease burden metrics in LAC; conversely, RRs for SBP, FPG and TC from LAC cohorts are similar to those esti- mated from cohorts in high-income countries

Mortality from gastrointestinal congenital anomalies at 264 hospitals in 74 low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries: a multicentre, international, prospective cohort study

Summary Background Congenital anomalies are the fifth leading cause of mortality in children younger than 5 years globally. Many gastrointestinal congenital anomalies are fatal without timely access to neonatal surgical care, but few studies have been done on these conditions in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). We compared outcomes of the seven most common gastrointestinal congenital anomalies in low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries globally, and identified factors associated with mortality. Methods We did a multicentre, international prospective cohort study of patients younger than 16 years, presenting to hospital for the first time with oesophageal atresia, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, intestinal atresia, gastroschisis, exomphalos, anorectal malformation, and Hirschsprung’s disease. Recruitment was of consecutive patients for a minimum of 1 month between October, 2018, and April, 2019. We collected data on patient demographics, clinical status, interventions, and outcomes using the REDCap platform. Patients were followed up for 30 days after primary intervention, or 30 days after admission if they did not receive an intervention. The primary outcome was all-cause, in-hospital mortality for all conditions combined and each condition individually, stratified by country income status. We did a complete case analysis. Findings We included 3849 patients with 3975 study conditions (560 with oesophageal atresia, 448 with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, 681 with intestinal atresia, 453 with gastroschisis, 325 with exomphalos, 991 with anorectal malformation, and 517 with Hirschsprung’s disease) from 264 hospitals (89 in high-income countries, 166 in middleincome countries, and nine in low-income countries) in 74 countries. Of the 3849 patients, 2231 (58·0%) were male. Median gestational age at birth was 38 weeks (IQR 36–39) and median bodyweight at presentation was 2·8 kg (2·3–3·3). Mortality among all patients was 37 (39·8%) of 93 in low-income countries, 583 (20·4%) of 2860 in middle-income countries, and 50 (5·6%) of 896 in high-income countries (p<0·0001 between all country income groups). Gastroschisis had the greatest difference in mortality between country income strata (nine [90·0%] of ten in lowincome countries, 97 [31·9%] of 304 in middle-income countries, and two [1·4%] of 139 in high-income countries; p≤0·0001 between all country income groups). Factors significantly associated with higher mortality for all patients combined included country income status (low-income vs high-income countries, risk ratio 2·78 [95% CI 1·88–4·11], p<0·0001; middle-income vs high-income countries, 2·11 [1·59–2·79], p<0·0001), sepsis at presentation (1·20 [1·04–1·40], p=0·016), higher American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score at primary intervention (ASA 4–5 vs ASA 1–2, 1·82 [1·40–2·35], p<0·0001; ASA 3 vs ASA 1–2, 1·58, [1·30–1·92], p<0·0001]), surgical safety checklist not used (1·39 [1·02–1·90], p=0·035), and ventilation or parenteral nutrition unavailable when needed (ventilation 1·96, [1·41–2·71], p=0·0001; parenteral nutrition 1·35, [1·05–1·74], p=0·018). Administration of parenteral nutrition (0·61, [0·47–0·79], p=0·0002) and use of a peripherally inserted central catheter (0·65 [0·50–0·86], p=0·0024) or percutaneous central line (0·69 [0·48–1·00], p=0·049) were associated with lower mortality. Interpretation Unacceptable differences in mortality exist for gastrointestinal congenital anomalies between lowincome, middle-income, and high-income countries. Improving access to quality neonatal surgical care in LMICs will be vital to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 of ending preventable deaths in neonates and children younger than 5 years by 2030

Are gender biases reproduced in current biotechnology learning? Study case: classroom of “protein recovery and purification” of the Bachelor of Biotechnology at Quilmes National University

A partir de producciones escritas de dos cohortes, y mediante el análisis discursivo cualitativo, se pretende visibilizar y diagnosticar en qué medida el profesorado y el estudiantado de esta asignatura mantienen concepciones, supuestos, asunciones y valores sesgados acerca del género. Se asume la hipótesis de que existen sesgos de género en las ciencias (investigaciones y teorías) y que se transmiten en la educación y formación científica, perpetuándose. En un primer estudio, se propone analizar con perspectiva de género el material didáctico generado por el cuerpo docente, desde el punto de vista del lenguaje (sexuado o inclusive) y los modelos de ciencia que se transmiten en las representaciones semióticas. Luego, se propone analizar, por medio de dimensiones psicosociales, la producción escrita de las personas estudiantes (en particular las reflexiones sobre la práctica), en la búsqueda de creencias, expectativas y valoraciones. Y por último, también en las reflexiones sobre la práctica, se busca comparar las autopercepciones sobre el rendimiento académico. A partir del análisis cualitativo propuesto, se detectaron sesgos de género en el aula de “Recuperación y Purificación de Proteínas”, de la carrera de biotecnología de la UNQ, validándose la hipótesis propuesta. Por lo cual, se proponen diferentes acciones para promover la equidad de género a través de la comunicación en el aula.The aim of this work is to make visible and diagnose to what extent the teachers and students of this subject maintain gender biased conceptions, assumptions and values. The hypothesis assumed it that there are gender biases in the sciences and that they are transmitted and perpetuated in scientific education. In goal to achieve it, written productions of two cohorts were analyzed it through qualitative discursive analysis. Then, it was proposed to analyze, by means of psychosocial dimensions, the written production of the students (in particular the reflections on the practice), in the search for beliefs and expectations. In addition, the didactic material generated by the teachers, were also analyzed it from a gender perspective. It was focus on the point of view of language (sexed or inclusive) and on which model of science was transmitted it in semiotic representations. Finally, on student’s reflections on own practice, it seek to compare self-perceptions on academic performance. Based on the proposed qualitative analysis, gender biases were detected it at the “Protein Recovery and Purification” classroom of the UNQ biotechnology career, validating the proposed hypothesis. Therefore, different actions were proposed to promote gender equality through communication in the classroom.Fil: Carbajal, Maria Laura.

The eco-epidemiology of Triatoma infestans in the temperate monte desert ecoregion of mid-western Argentina

BACKGROUND The eco-epidemiological status of Chagas disease in the Monte Desert ecoregion of western Argentina is largely unknown. We investigated the environmental and socio-demographic determinants of house infestation with Triatoma infestans, bug abundance, vector infection with Trypanosoma cruzi and host-feeding sources in a well-defined rural area of Lavalle Department in the Mendoza province. METHODS Technical personnel inspected 198 houses for evidence of infestation with T. infestans, and the 76 houses included in the current study were re-inspected. In parallel with the vector survey, an environmental and socio-demographic survey was also conducted. Univariate risk factor analysis for domiciliary infestation was carried out using Firth penalised logistic regression. We fitted generalised linear models for house infestation and bug abundance. Blood meals were tested with a direct ELISA assay, and T. cruzi infection was determined using a hot-start polymerase chain reaction (PCR) targeting the kinetoplast minicircle (kDNA-PCR). FINDINGS The households studied included an aged population living in precarious houses whose main economic activities included goat husbandry. T. infestans was found in 21.2% of 198 houses and in 55.3% of the 76 re-inspected houses. Peridomestic habitats exhibited higher infestation rates and bug abundances than did domiciles, and goat corrals showed high levels of infestation. The main host-feeding sources were goats. Vector infection was present in 10.2% of domiciles and 3.2% of peridomiciles. Generalised linear models showed that peridomestic infestation was positively and significantly associated with the presence of mud walls and the abundance of chickens and goats, and bug abundance increased with the number of all hosts except rabbits. MAIN CONCLUSIONS We highlight the relative importance of specific peridomestic structures (i.e., goat corrals and chicken coops) associated with construction materials and host abundance as sources of persistent bug infestation driving domestic colonisation. Environmental management strategies framed in a community-based programme combined with improved insecticide spraying and sustained vector surveillance are needed to effectively suppress local T. infestans populations.Fil: Carbajal de la Fuente, Ana Laura.
