An L-lactate amperometric enzyme electrode based on L-lactate oxidase immobilized in a laponite gel on a glassy carbon electrode. Application to dairy products and red wine

A biosensor based on the immobilization of Lactate oxidase in laponite - organosilasesquioxane films on glassy carbon electrode for the quantification of l-lactate in wine and dairy products is presented. The bioelectrode showed a very high sensitivity (0.33 ± 0.01) A cm-2 M-1 and a short time response (10 s) for less than 1 U of enzyme. No significant interferences, including ascorbic acid, were detected. For red wine, matrix effects assigned to polyphenols and anthocyanins were observed, which ware easily overcome by sample dilution. Our l-lactate determinations were in good agreement with those of two standard methods.Fil: Paz Zanini, Veronica Irene. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.

Effects of Anionic Liposome Delivery of All–Trans–Retinoic Acid on Neuroblastoma Cell Differentiation

All–trans–retinoic acid (ATRA) has long been known to affect cell growth and differentiation. To improve ATRA’s therapeutic efficacy and pharmacodynamics, several delivery systems have been used. In this study, free ATRA and anionic–liposome–encapsulated ATRA were compared for their effects on SK–N–SH human neuroblastoma cell growth and differentiation. Anionic liposomes made of L–α –phosphatidylcholine (PC) and L–α –phosphatidic acid (PA), empty (PC–PA) and loaded with ATRA (PC–PA–ATRA), were characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and electrophoretic mobility measurements, and drug entrapment efficiency (EE%) was measured to evaluate the applicability of the new colloidal formulation. The results of brightfield microscopy and cell growth curves indicated that ATRA, whether free or encapsulated, reduced growth and induced differentiation, resulting in SK–N–SH cells changing from epithelioid to neuronal–like morphologies, and producing a significant increase in neurite growth. To further characterize the neuro-differentiation of SK–N–SH cells, the expression of βIII–Tubulin and synaptophysin and mitochondria localization were analyzed via immunofluorescence. Increased expression of neuronal markers and a peculiar localization of mitochondria in the neuritic extensions were apparent both in ATRA– and PC–PA–ATRA–differentiated cells. As a whole, our results strongly indicate that ATRA treatment, by any means, can induce the differentiation of parent SK–N–SH, and they highlight that its encapsulation in anionic liposomes increases its differentiation ability in terms of the percentage of neurite–bearing cells. Interestingly, our data also suggest an unexpected differentiation capability of anionic liposomes per se. This work highlights the importance of developing and carefully testing novel delivery nanocarriers, which are a necessary first “step” in the development of new therapeutic settings

The 2017 PREDICT Key Facts Report. An Analysis of ICT R&D in the EU and Beyond

The 2017 PREDICT Key Facts Report provides a detailed analysis of the state of ICT R&D activities in the European Union. This is the tenth edition of a series that is published annually. Like the previous editions, an online version is available at: https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/predict. The PREDICT dataset 2017 is based on the latest data available from official sources (such as the Eurostat and OECD, National Accounts and R&D statistics). It also includes the novelty of backwards reconstruction of the series from 1995, which allows it to cover the period from 1995 to 2014. Therefore, it provides a long-term analysis of the EU ICT sector and its R&D, covering a whole cycle since the initial expansion years, the double recession that began in early 2008, and the most recent evolution up to 2014.JRC.B.6-Digital Econom

El Modelo de Feminidad Franquista a través de la Música. Del Adoctrinamiento a la Transgresión

La historiografía no ha prestado especial atención a las expresiones musicales y folclóricas como nexo entre la historia cultural y la historia política; sin embargo, como trataremos de demostrar en las próximas líneas, dicha conexión será clave como herramienta legitimadora del régimen franquista, proporcionando al sistema político una continuidad fundamental y atemporal, un instrumento privilegiado de mediación entre el pueblo y la estructura política. A través de una revisión de la documentación legislativa, bibliográfica, documental y audiovisual del primer franquismo (1939-1955), con una metodología ensayística, nos hemos propuesto entender, en primer lugar, la instrumentalización de la música, y en concreto el folclore, como herramienta legitimadora de los pilares del estado franquista: clasismo, patriotismo y modelo de feminidad, vehiculizado a través de la Sección Femenina. Como segundo aspecto analizaremos cómo el jazz y la copla, músicas situadas en la alteridad de las fuentes oficiales del franquismo, constituyeron un espacio de libertad expresiva y subversión biopolítica, concluyendo que pudieron convertirse así en la supervivencia desde la otredad, en un modelo de feminidad anti-hegemónica.Esta investigación se ha realizado y financiado gracias a la subvención concedida por el Instituto de Estudios Giennenses (Resolución de 19 de septiembre de 2023), para la realización del Proyecto de Investigación "Jazz en el primer franquismo: un estudio desde la perspectiva de género y antirracista en la provincia de Jaén”

Serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines in prostate cancer

Prostate cancer has become an important public health problem affecting millions of men worldwide every year. Like other malignant tumors, prostate cancer shows evidence of a strong inflammatory component that is dependent on the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines,which might play a major role in the development and progression of the tumor, helping in its early stage, progression and aggressiveness. Aims: The goal of this study was to determine the relationships between the serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the different stages of prostate cancer. To this end, sera from patients enrolled by The Laboratory of Metabolic Diseases and Cancer of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Biochemistry at the University Juan Agustín Maza in Argentina, were analyzed through ELISA and their pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α and MCP-1) quantified. Patients were first classified into three groups (Control, at Risk, and Cancer subjects) and anthropometric, biochemical and histological parameters of prostate were then determined for all groups. Results and Conclusions: Despite displaying elevated serum concentrations of IL-6 and TNF-α in the Cancer and the Risk groups compared to the Control group, the differences did not reach significance. However, there was a positive correlation between these cytokines only in the Risk and Cancer groups, showing a general inflammatory behavior in these patients. The results obtained provide general data about the behavior of pro-inflammatory cytokines in prostate cancer. However, they do not demonstrate a direct correlation betweenserum levels and neoplastic progression. Nevertheless, these findings do not rule out a possible relationship between prostate cancer and serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines.Fil: López Fontana, Constanza Matilde.

Insights into Mechanical Behavior and Biological Properties of Chia Seed Mucilage Hydrogels

In this contribution we report insights on the rheological properties of chia (Salvia hispanica) seed mucilage hydrogels. Specifically, we studied the influence of temperature and polymer concentration on the viscoelastic properties of resulting networks. Creep experiments performed in steady-state conditions allowed calculating Newtonian viscosities for chia hydrogels at different polymer concentrations, pointing at inter-chain interactions as the main responsible for the different behavior toward network slipping under constant stress. The combination of oscillatory frequency and stress sweep tests highlighted a moderate effect of temperature in influencing hydrogel mechanics. The latter results prompted us to investigate potential biological functions for this set of biomaterials. Lactate Dehydrogenase assay proved lack of cytotoxicity of chia suspensions toward Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells from adipose tissue here used as cell model. Differentiation experiments were finally undertaken to verify the influence of chia samples on osteo-induction triggered by chemical differentiation factors. Alkaline Phosphatase enzyme activity assay and Alizarin red staining demonstrated that chia mucilage did not alter in vitro stem cell differentiation. Collectively, this set of experiments revealed an almost inert role associated with chia suspensions, indicating a possible application of chia-based networks as scaffold models to study osteogenesis in vitro
