El líder comunitario del siglo XXI: un verdadero gestor social

El líder del siglo XXI como gestor social, resalta la labor del líder comunitario del barrio Carrizal, ubicado en el sur occidente de Barranquilla, y su participación como elemento generador de cambio y de transformación. Este es un líder comprometido, participativo, dinámico, que maneja canales de comunicación, solidario, constante y cooperativo. Aquí se encaran las diferentes clases de líderes. Se hace un análisis de cómo el mismo estado, y las entidades gubernamentales tienen en el olvido a los barrios más vulnerables, y cómo desde estos barrios existen personas con capacidad de liderazgo que mitigan ciertas problemáticas sociales, haciendo un llamado a la escuela, a la educación y a la sociedad, para que transforme y posibilite al individuo.The XXI Century leader as a social manager highlights the communitarian leader labor in Carrizal neighborhood, located at the southwest part of the City of Barranquilla, and his participation as a generating element of change and transformation. This is a compromised, active and dynamic leader, entitled to handle communication channels at the same time of being very supportive, persistent and cooperative. Here the different types of leader are faced. An analysis of how the very same State and the governmental entities have forgotten the most vulnerable neighborhoods and how from the same neighborhoods there are people with leadership capabilities that they mitigate certain social matters, making a call to the school system, education and society, in order to transform and allow the conditions for the individual leader to face the various challenges of the modern and post modern reach out

Prototype Drop Tests of Cube and Cubipod Armor Units

In this paper, an experimental methodology is described to assess the structural strength of unreinforced concrete armor units (CAUs). The methodology is applied to measure the structural integrity under impact loads of the new Cubipod CAU compared with the conventional cube CAU. The casting systems and clamps are described for manufacturing and handling the 15-t conventional cubic block and 16-t Cubipod prototypes used for the drop tests. Two separate reinforced concrete platforms were used for overturning and for free-fall tests, respectively. Compared with conventional cubes of similar size and concrete strength, Cubipods withstand drops that are more than 50% higher. Two extreme free-fall tests confirmed the structural robustness of Cubipod armor units. Manufacturing cycle time, as well as storage and handling procedures, are similar for both Cubipods and conventional cubic blocks. © 2011 American Society of Civil Engineers.The writers are grateful for the logistic support provided by the Port Authority of Alicante and the consortium TMS.

Activated Lymphocytes and Increased Risk of Dermatologic Adverse Events during Sorafenib Therapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Altres ajuts: Asociación Española Contra el Cáncer PI044031Hepatocellular carcinoma is the second cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Of those advanced-stage patients who are treated with sorafenib, those who develop early dermatologic adverse events have a better prognosis. These events are possibly immune-related. Therefore, we analyzed the phenotype of 52 sorafenib-treated patients' circulating lymphocytes throughout treatment. We found that different co-stimulatory and immune exhaustion markers, such as Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and DNAX accessory molecule 1 (DNAM-1) amongst others, correlate with the probability of developing these adverse events, both before and during the treatment. We also compared the phenotype of those lymphocytes expressing DNAM-1 with those that do not, and while NK DNAM-1-expressing cells have a co-stimulatory phenotype, T DNAM-1-expressing cells are immune-suppressors. Overall, we set a rationale for the combination of sorafenib and immune-targeted therapies; and for the use of immune markers (such as DNAM-1) for patients' prognosis evaluation. Advanced hepatocellular carcinoma patients treated with sorafenib who develop early dermatologic adverse events (eDAEs) have a better prognosis. This may be linked to immune mechanisms, and thus, it is relevant to assess the association between peripheral immunity and the probability of developing eDAEs. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 52 HCC patients treated with sorafenib were analyzed at baseline and throughout the first eight weeks of therapy. T, B, Natural Killer cells, and their immune checkpoints expression data were characterized by flow cytometry. Cytokine release and immune-suppression assays were carried out ex vivo. Cox baseline and time-dependent regression models were applied to evaluate the probability of increased risk of eDAEs. DNAM-1, PD-1, CD69, and LAG-3 in T cells, plus CD16 and LAG-3 in NK cells, are significantly associated with the probability of developing eDAEs. While NK DNAM-1 + cells express activation markers, T DNAM-1 + cells induce immune suppression and show immune exhaustion. This is the first study to report an association between immune checkpoints expression in circulating immune cells and the increased incidence of eDAEs. Our results support the hypothesis for an off-target role of sorafenib in immune modulation. We also describe a novel association between DNAM-1 and immune exhaustion in T cells

Biophysical and lipidomic biomarkers of cardiac remodeling post-myocardial infarction in humans

Few studies have analyzed the potential of biophysical parameters as markers of cardiac remodeling post-myocardial infarction (MI), particularly in human hearts. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) illustrates the overall changes in proteins, nucleic acids and lipids in a single signature. The aim of this work was to define the FTIR and lipidomic pattern for human left ventricular remodeling post-MI. A total of nine explanted hearts from ischemic cardiomyopathy patients were collected. Samples from the right ventricle (RV), left ventricle (LV) and infarcted left ventricle (LV INF) were subjected to biophysical (FTIR and differential scanning calorimetry, DSC) and lipidomic (liquid chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry, LC–HRMS) studies. FTIR evidenced deep alterations in the myofibers, extracellular matrix proteins, and the hydric response of the LV INF compared to the RV or LV from the same subject. The lipid and esterified lipid FTIR bands were enhanced in LV INF, and both lipid indicators were tightly and positively correlated with remodeling markers such as collagen, lactate, polysaccharides, and glycogen in these samples. Lipidomic analysis revealed an increase in several species of sphingomyelin (SM), hexosylceramide (HexCer), and cholesteryl esters combined with a decrease in glycerophospholipids in the infarcted tissue. Our results validate FTIR indicators and several species of lipids as useful markers of left ventricular remodeling post-MI in humans
