    Introducción: Las fracturas de tobillo son extremadamente comunes y suponen importantes implicaciones biomecánicas, al ser la articulación del tobillo la encargada de soportar fuerzas equivalentes a cuatro veces el peso corporal total. Actualmente, la heterogeneidad de los pacientes que han sufrido una fractura de tobillo supone un problema para diseñar un plan de intervención de fisioterapia. De cualquier forma, el plan de intervención debe aplicarse según lo tolerado por el/la paciente y en relación con sus propios objetivos funcionales y debe centrarse principalmente en la movilidad de la articulación del tobillo, la fuerza muscular, el equilibrio y el entrenamiento funcional. Objetivos: Describir un caso clínico de una paciente con fractura bimaleolar a la que se le realiza un plan de intervención en fisioterapia específico. Metodología: Estudio intrasujeto de tipo AB. Mujer que sufre una fractura bimaleolar por accidente de motocicleta. Se realiza una valoración inicial del edema, de la cicatriz, de la atrofia muscular, del dolor, valoración articular, muscular y de la funcionalidad de la extremidad inferior. El plan de intervención fisioterápico consta de 48 sesiones y se plantea en conjunto con los objetivos funcionales de la paciente. Desarrollo: Se realizan técnicas de movilización, ejercicios de fortalecimiento, reeducación de la marcha, ejercicios de propiocepción, tratamiento de la cicatriz y estiramientos, entre otros. Tras las 12 semanas de tratamiento se logran todos los objetivos planteados al inicio del trabajo. Conclusiones: El plan de intervención en fisioterapia diseñado individualmente para el tratamiento de la fractura bimaleolar ha sido eficaz en el caso presentado.<br /

    Chondroitin and Dermatan Sulfate Bioinks for 3D Bioprinting and Cartilage Regeneration

    No full text
    Cartilage is a connective tissue which a limited capacity for healing and repairing. In this context, osteoarthritis (OA) disease may be developed with high prevalence in which the use of scaffolds may be a promising treatment. In addition, three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting has become an emerging additive manufacturing technology because of its rapid prototyping capacity and the possibility of creating complex structures. This study is focused on the development of nanocellulose-alginate (NC-Alg) based bioinks for 3D bioprinting for cartilage regeneration to which it is added chondroitin sulfate (CS) and dermatan sulfate (DS). First, rheological properties are evaluated. Then, sterilization effect, biocompatibility, and printability on developed NC-Alg-CS and NC-Alg-DS inks are evaluated. Subsequently, printed scaffolds are characterized. Finally, NC-Alg-CS and NC-Alg-DS inks are loaded with murine D1-MSCs-EPO and cell viability and functionality, as well as the chondrogenic differentiation ability are assessed. Results show that the addition of both CS and DS to the NC-Alg ink improves its characteristics in terms of rheology and cell viability and functionality. Moreover, differentiation to cartilage is promoted on NC-Alg-CS and NC-Alg-DS scaffolds. Therefore, the utilization of MSCs containing NC-Alg-CS and NC-Alg-DS scaffolds may become a feasible tissue engineering approach for cartilage regeneration.The authors thank the Basque Government for granted fellowship to S.Ruiz-Alonso (PRE_2020_2_0143).

    Crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction studies of the BTL2 lipase from the extremophilic microorganism Bacillus thermocatenulatus

    BTL2, a thermostable enantioselective biocatalyst of interest for industrial applications, has been crystallized using the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion method. Preliminary X-ray data to 2.2 Å resolution allowed the determination of its unit-cell parameters and space group and initiation of its structure determination

    Activation of bacterial thermoalkalophilic lipases is spurred by dramatic structural rearrangements

    8 pages.-- PMID: 19056729 [PubMed].-- Available online Dec 3, 2008.Supporting information available at: http://www.jbc.org/cgi/content/full/M808268200/DC1The bacterial thermoalkalophilic lipases that hydrolyze saturated fatty acids at 60–75°C and pH 8–10 are grouped as the lipase family I.5. We report here the crystal structure of the lipase from Geobacillus thermocatenulatus, the first structure of a member of the lipase family I.5 showing an open configuration. Unexpectedly, enzyme activation involves large structural rearrangements of around 70 amino acids and the concerted movement of two lids, the α6- and α7-helices, unmasking the active site. Central in the restructuring process of the lids are both the transfer of bulky hydrophobic residues out of the N-terminal end of the α6-helix and the incorporation of short side chain residues to the α6 C-terminal end. All these structural changes are stabilized by the Zn(2+)-binding domain, which is characteristic of this family of lipases. Two detergent molecules are placed in the active site, mimicking chains of the triglyceride substrate, demonstrating the position of the oxyanion hole and the three pockets that accommodate the sn-1, sn-2, and sn-3 fatty acids chains. The combination of structural and biochemical studies indicate that the lid opening is not mediated by temperature but triggered by interaction with lipid substrate.This work was supported by Grant BFU2005-01645 from Dirección General de Investigación and by "Factoria de Cristalización," CONSOLIDER INGENIO-2010.Peer reviewe
