Metabolomic Profiling for Identification of Novel Potential Biomarkers in Cardiovascular Diseases
Metabolomics involves the identification and quantification of metabolites present in a biological system. Three different approaches can be used: metabolomic fingerprinting, metabolic profiling, and metabolic footprinting, in order to evaluate the clinical course of a disease, patient recovery, changes in response to surgical intervention or pharmacological treatment, as well as other associated features. Characteristic patterns of metabolites can be revealed that broaden our understanding of a particular disorder. In the present paper, common strategies and analytical techniques used in metabolomic studies are reviewed, particularly with reference to the cardiovascular field

Surgery and radioembolization of liver tumors
Surgical resection is considered the curative treatment par excellence for patients with primary or
metastatic liver tumors. However, less than 40% of them are candidates for surgery, either due to nonmodifiable factors (comorbidities, age, liver dysfunction. . .), or to the invasion or proximity of the tumor
to the main vascular requirements, the lack of a future liver remnant (FLR) adequate to maintain postoperative liver function, or criteria oftumor size and number. In these lastfactors, hepatic radioembolization
has been shown to play a role as a presurgical tool, either by hypertrophy of the FLR or by reducing tumor
size that manages to reduce tumor staging (term known as downstaging ¨ ¨
). To these is added a third factor,
which is its ability to apply the test oftime, which makes it possible to identify those patients who present
progression of the disease in a short period of time (both locally and at distance), avoiding a unnecessary
surgery. This paper aims to review RE as a tool to facilitate liver surgery, both through the experience of
our center and the available scientific evidence.La resección quirúrgica se considera eltratamiento curativo por excelencia para los pacientes con tumores
hepáticos primarios o metastásicos. Sin embargo, menos del 40% de ellos son candidatos a cirugía, ya
sea por factores no modificables (comorbilidades, edad, disfunción hepática. . .), como por la invasión o
proximidad del tumor a los principales pedículos vasculares, la falta de un futuro remanente hepático
(FRH) adecuado para mantener una función hepática postoperatoria, o criterios de tamano˜ y numero
tumoral. En estos últimos factores, la radioembolización hepática ha mostrado tener un papel como
herramienta prequirúrgica, ya sea mediante la hipertrofia del FRH o mediante la reducción del tamano˜
tumoral que consigue disminuir la estadificación tumoral (término conocido como “downstaging”). A
estos se suma un tercer factor, que es su capacidad de aplicar el test del tiempo, que permite identificar
aquellos pacientes que presenten en un plazo corto de tiempo progresión de la enfermedad (tanto a
nivel local como a distancia), evitándoles una cirugía innecesaria. En este trabajo se pretende hacer una
revisión de la RE como herramienta facilitadora de la cirugía hepática, tanto a través de la experiencia de
nuestro centro como de la evidencia científica disponible
Gold(III) Porphyrin Was Used as an Electron Acceptor for Efficient Organic Solar Cells
[EN] The widespread use of nonfullerene-based electron-accepting materials has triggered a rapid increase in the performance of organic photovoltaic devices. However, the number of efficient acceptor compounds available is rather limited, which hinders the discovery of new, high-performing donor:acceptor combinations. Here, we present a new, efficient electron-accepting compound based on a hitherto unexplored family of well-known molecules: gold porphyrins. The electronic properties of our electron-accepting gold porphyrin, named VC10, were studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy and by cyclic voltammetry (CV) , revealing two intense optical absorption bands at 500-600 and 700-920 nm and an optical bandgap of 1.39 eV. Blending VC10 with PTB7-Th, a donor polymer, which gives rise to an absorption band at 550-780 nm complementary to that of VC10, enables the fabrication of organic solar cells (OSCs) featuring a power conversion efficiency of 9.24% and an energy loss of 0.52 eV. Hence, this work establishes a new approach in the search for efficient acceptor molecules for solar cells and new guidelines for future photovoltaic material design.F.L. and P.d.l.C. thank MCI (Spain) (PID2019-105049RB-I00), MICIU (RED2018-102815-T), the Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha, and the European Social Fund (SBPLY/17/180501/000254) for financial support.
