Ultrasound-assisted extraction of fructans from agave (Agave tequilana Weber var. azul) at different ultrasound powers and solid-liquid ratios

Abstract The effects of ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) at different ultrasound power densities (UPDs; 40, 80, and 120 mW/mL) and solid:liquid (S:L) ratio (1:2, 1:3, and 1:6) on the extraction of carbohydrates from Agave tequilana plant of different ages were evaluated. Extracts obtained (6- and 7-year-old plant) were analyzed in the yield of carbohydrates (YC), fructan (FRU) content, simple sugars, fructan profile and the average degree of polymerization (DPn). UPD, S:L ratio, and plant age all affected YC, FRU, and DPn. Maximum YC and FRU were obtained from the older agave with UPD and S:L ratio of 120 mW/mL and 1:6, respectively; while glucose, fructose, and sucrose were highly released from the younger plant. Agave of 7-year-old presented the highest DPn. Fructan degradation occurred at high UPD, increasing the simple sugars and decreasing the DPn. Thermal-traditional extraction without sonication caused more fructan degradation; and overall, ultrasound enhanced fructan extraction and minimized fructan damage, representing a technological alternative for fructan extraction from agave. Keywords: agave; fructans; ultrasound; power density; solid:liquid ratio; plant age. Practical Application: Agave tequilana Weber var. azul plants have significant amounts of fructans. Extraction of these components by alternative methods such as ultrasound could represent advantages, improving the extraction and product quality. This research presents an alternative for the extraction of fructans assisted with ultrasound, evaluating different powers and solid-liquid ratios from agave heads of two different ages. Both variables, as well as age of agave showed a strong effect on fructan extraction. Ultrasound enhanced the extraction and minimized fructan damage, representing a technological alternative

Screening for Prognostic microRNAs Associated with Treatment Failure in Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) treatment with R-CHOP regimen produces 5-year progression-free survival and overall survival of around 60-70%. Our objective was to discover prognostic biomarkers allowing early detection of the remaining 30-40% with poor long-term outcome. For this purpose, we applied a novel strategy: from a cohort of DLBCL patients, treated with standard therapy, a discovery group of 12 patients with poor prognosis (advanced stage III-IV, R-IPI > 2) was formed, consisting of six chemoresistant (refractory/early relapse 3 years) subjects. By using microarray assays, the most differentially expressed miRNAs were defined as an initial set of prognostic miRNA candidates. Their expression was then analyzed in a validation cohort of 68 patients and the three miRNAs with the most significant impact on event-free and overall survival were selected. In the DLBCL cell line U-2932 the transfection with miR-1244 and miR-193b-5p, but not miR-1231, blocked the effect of CHOP on cell viability. A subsequent gene set enrichment analysis in patients revealed the implication of the first two miRNAs in cell cycle control and chemoresistance-related pathways, whereas the last one was involved in immunological processes. In conclusion, this novel strategy identified three promising prognostic markers for DLBCL patients at high risk of failure with standard therapy

Case Report: Characterization of known (c.607G>C) and novel (c.416C>G) ELANE mutations in two Mexican families with congenital neutropenia

The most common causes of congenital neutropenia are mutations in the ELANE (Elastase, Neutrophil Expressed) gene (19p13.3), mostly in exon 5 and the distal portion of exon 4, which result in different clinical phenotypes of neutropenia. Here, we report two pathogenic mutations in ELANE, namely, c.607G>C (p.Gly203Arg) and a novel variant c.416C>G (p.Pro139Arg), found in two Mexican families ascertained via patients with congenital neutropenia who responded positively to the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) treatment. These findings highlight the usefulness of identifying variants in patients with inborn errors of immunity for early clinical management and the need to rule out mosaicism in noncarrier parents with more than one case in the family

Petrography and application of the rietveld method to the quantitative analysis of phases of natural clinker generated by coal spontaneous combustion

Fine-grained and mainly reddish color, compact and slightly breccious and vesicular pyrometamorphic rocks (natural clinker) are associated to the spontaneous combustion of coal seams of the Cerrejón Formation exploited by Carbones del Cerrejón Limited in La Guajira Peninsula (Caribbean Region of Colombia). These rocks constitute remaining inorganic materials derived from claystones, mudstones and sandstones originally associated with the coal and are essentially a complex mixture of various amorphous and crystalline inorganic constituents. In this paper, a petrographic characterization of natural clinker, aswell as the application of the X-ray diffraction (Rietveld method) by mean of quantitative analysis of its mineral phases were carried out. The RIQAS program was used for the refinement of X ray powder diffraction profiles, analyzing the importance of using the correct isostructural models for each of the existing phases, which were obtained from the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD). The results obtained in this investigation show that the Rietveld method can be used as a powerful tool in the quantitative analysis of phases in polycrystalline samples, which has been a traditional problem in geology

Reflexiones en torno a un proyecto educativo. Universidad Católica de Colombia y su aporte al pacto educativo global

Este libro conmemora las Bodas de Oro de la Universidad Católica de Colombia, 1970 -2020, así como los veinte años de vida de su Departamento de Humanidades y Centro de Pastoral Universitaria. En este marco celebrativo, la presente publicación recoge una colección de selectos artículos de gran valor académico y ofrece profundas e interesantes reflexiones en el campo de las Humanidades. El volumen se divide en dos partes: la primera fija su atención en el estudio teórico de los fundamentos misionales de la Universidad; la segunda se enfoca en la aplicación práctica de la Misión en las distintas actividades propuestas por la Alma Mater. La primera sección, “Elementos históricos y misionales”, analiza los lineamientos de la Misión desde una triple perspectiva: antropológica, educativa y filosófica, con el fin de resaltar la raíz más genuina y profunda de la identidad de la Universidad. Asimismo, presenta una reseña histórica del nacimiento y consolidación académica tanto del Departamento de Humanidades como de la Pastoral Universitaria, y aborda de manera original la concepción de educación como acto humano de naturaleza moral. La segunda sección, “Iniciativas y desarrollo académico”, presenta las diferentes iniciativas de formación que, en consonancia con la Misión de esta Casa de Estudios y su Proyecto Educativo Institucional, se han adelantado en los últimos años. Se hace aquí el análisis y reflexión sobre el matrimonio y la familia a la luz de la enseñanza de la Iglesia y los Principios de la Universidad; el voluntariado universitario y su servicio a la Misión Institucional; la lectura y la escritura como eje transversal del Departamento de Humanidades; y otras perspectivas de igual riqueza. Las valiosas reflexiones antropológico-educativas, cobijadas al calor del nacimiento e historia de la Alma Mater, brindan al lector razones potentes para internarse en la lectura de esta obra, que marcará un hito significativo en la vida universitaria.PRÓLOGO. PRIMERA PARTE: ELEMENTOS HISTÓRICOS Y MISIONALES. SEGUNDA PARTE: INICIATIVAS Y DESARROLLO ACADÉMICO.1a
