    Este trabajo está dividido en dos: Primero sigue un recorrido histórico desde la dictadura franquista hasta la actualidad con la finalidad de comprender los antecedentes que han marcado la posición de la mujer en la sociedad. En ella se analiza la situación social, educativa, legislativa y laboral del territorio español desde una perspectiva de género en las diferentes etapas históricas.Durante la dictadura, el Estado junto a la Iglesia y la Sección Femenina marcaron las pautas que determinaron el establecimiento de la mujer en el hogar. A partir de la Transición, veremos cómo las mujeres se han ido incorporando al mercado laboral.La segunda parte se centra en el análisis de la posición de las mujeres tanto en el mercado laboral como en el hogar y la valoración de los factores polarizadores de los roles de género: brecha salarial, techo de cristal… y los medios de comunicación como condicionante social.<br /

    A combination of Rosa canina extracts and gold complex favors apoptosis of caco-2 cells by increasing oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction

    Given the alarming increase in colorectal cancer (CRC) worldwide, novel therapies are urgently needed. Plant-derived extracts have gained considerable interest in the last years due to their strong anticancer effect mediated by their unique bioactive compounds. Specifically, rosehips from Rosa canina have been successfully tested against several cancer models, including colon cancer. Moreover, gold derivatives are a promising alternative to the current platinum-based drugs commonly used in CRC chemotherapy due to their lack of affinity for DNA. Herein we have investigated the antitumor potential of a drug combination made of acidic polyphenols extracted from R. canina and the gold complex (Au(C=C-2-NC5H4) (PTA)) in Caco-2 cell line as a model of CRC. The combination triggered strong apoptosis mediated by a blockage of the autophagic flux, which might be a consequence of a reactive oxygen species (ROS) increase and mitochondrial dysfunctionality. Our results suggest that the clinical application of plant polyphenols might enhance the anticancer effect of metallodrugs and reduce drug exposure time and therefore its side effects

    Rosa species, rose hips, are widespread wild plants that have been traditionally used as medicinal compounds for the treatment of a wide variety of diseases. The therapeutic potential of these plants is based on its antioxidant effects caused by or associated with its phytochemical composition, which includes ascorbic acid, phenolic compounds and healthy fatty acids among others. Over the last few years, medicinal interest in rose hips has increased as a consequence of recent research that has studied its potential application as a treatment for several diseases including skin disorders, hepatotoxicity, renal disturbances, diarrhoea, inflammatory disorders, arthritis, diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, obesity and cancer. In this review, the role of different species of Rosa in the prevention of treatment of various disorders related to oxidative stress, is examined, focusing on new therapeutic approaches from a molecular point of view.The work of this group was supported by projects from the Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (SAF2016-75441-R), funding from the Gobierno de Aragón/European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) (A-32), and Proyect Interreg Sudoe REDVALUE (SOE1/PI/E0123) Co-financed at 65% by the European Regional (A-32), and Proyect Interreg Sudoe REDVALUE (SOE1/PI/E0123) Co-financed at 65% by the European Regional Development Fund.

    Objetivos: Evaluar la adecuación de los sitios web destinados a proporcionar información para la realización de seguimiento farmacoterapéutico a 4 códigos de conducta. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo del cumplimiento de los criterios de calidad de 19 sitios web seleccionados por ser los de mayor utilización por los farmacéuticos en un estudio previo. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo y se estimó el coeficiente kappa para valorar la concordancia entre evaluadores (criterios de Fleiss). Resultados y conclusiones: Fisterra fue la página mejor valorada en los 4 códigos, y la fuente de acceso a guías clínicas mejor calificada. La Cochrane Library y Pubmed las mejor valoradas en revisiones y fuentes secundarias. JAMA y British Medical Journal fueron las revistas mejor calificadas seguidas de Atención Primaria y Medicina Clínica. Entre los vademécums, el BOT y el Martindale obtuvieron las mejores calificaciones y el Boletín Terapéutico Andaluz y el Butlletí Groc recibieron altas calificaciones de entre los boletines de medicamentos. La Organización Mundial de la Salud fue la agencia mejor calificada. Los sitios con menor calificación fueron Pharmaceutical Care, Seguimiento Farmacoterapéutico y el Vademécum Internacional España MediMedia-Medicom. La concordancia entre evaluadores fue aceptable para los 4 códigos. Conclusiones: La calidad de los sitios web que utilizan los farmacéuticos es muy variable, aunque la mayoría superan los 60 puntos (sobre 100) en los 4 códigos de conducta usados en la evaluación.Objectives: To assess adherence to four codes of conduct in websites providing information useful for pharmacotherapy follow-up. Methods: We performed a descriptive study of adherence to quality criteria in 19 websites. These sites had been identified in a previous study as being those most frequently used by pharmacists. A descriptive analysis was performed and the kappa coefficient was calculated to evaluate interrater concordance (Fleiss' criteria for evaluation of the kappa index). Results: The most highly rated source of clinical practice guidelines and that which adhered most closely to the 4 codes of conduct was Fisterra. The websites most highly rated in reviews and secondary sources were the Cochrane Library and PubMed. The most highly rated journals were JAMA and the BMJ, followed by Atención Primaria and Medicina Clínica. Among drug information guides, the highest scores were obtained by BOT and Martindale's. The highest rated drug bulletins were the Boletín Terapéutico Andaluz and Butlletí Groc. The most highly rated agency was the World Health Organization. The journals with the lowest scores were Pharmaceutical Care and Seguimiento Farmacoterapéutico followed by the Spanish Internacional Vademecum MediMedia-Medicom. According to Fleiss's criteria, interrater concordance was acceptable for the 4 codes. Conclusions: The quality of the web sites evaluated varied widely, although most received scores of more than 60 points (out of 100) in the 4 codes of conduct used for evaluation
