Importancia de biomarcadores inflamatorios en la ateroesclerosis subclĂnica asociada a sĂndrome metabĂłlico: modelo experimental y clĂnico
Tesis-Doctor en Medicina y CirugĂa-Universidad Nacional de CĂłrdoba. Facultad de Ciencias MĂ©dicas, 2014164 p.Existen evidencias que asocian biomarcadores inflamatorios con sĂndrome metabĂłlico (SM), insulinoresistencia y enfermedad aterogĂ©nica subclĂnica (ATS), pero no está clara su interrelaciĂłn y como contribuirĂan al desarrollo de estas patologĂas multisindrĂłmicas. El componente inflamatorio serĂa la vĂa final comĂşn reflejada por la disfunciĂłn endotelial y la inducciĂłn de estrĂ©s oxidativo. Se diseñó un modelo experimental de SM mediante la administraciĂłn de fructuosa al 10% diluĂda en agua de bebida por 6 semanas y de ATS inducida por hiperfibrinogenemia (HF) en diferentes perĂodos experimentales. Se determinĂł en todos los grupos estudiados: glucemia, insulinemia, perfil lipĂdico, cálculo de HOMA (homeostasis model assessment) y se cuantificaron por espectrofotometrĂa biomarcadores inflamatorios y de estrĂ©s oxidativo: fibrinĂłgeno, oxido nĂtrico (NO), L-citrulina, adiponectina y superĂłxido dismutasa (SOD). Se analizĂł por microscopia Ăłptica la anatomĂa patolĂłgica de aorta torácica e hĂgado. Se determinaron las probables alteraciones morfolĂłgicas mitocondriales en cĂ©lulas musculares lisas aĂłrticas por microscopia electrĂłnica y para valorar funcionalidad se determinĂł la actividad enzimática de Citrato Sintasa y los complejos I, II, III y IV de la cadena respiratoria mitocondrial.There is evidence to associate inflammatory biomarkers with metabolic
syndrome (MS), insulin resistance and atherogenic subclinical disease (ASD), but it is unclear their interrelationship and how would it contribute to the development and progression of these multisindromical pathologies. The inflammatory component would be the final common pathway reflected by endothelial dysfunction and
induction of oxidative stress. An experimental model of MS was designed by administering diluted fructose to 10% in drinking water for 6 weeks and ASD induced by hyperfibrinogenemia (HF) in different experimental periods. Glucose, insulin, lipid profile and HOMA calculation (homeostasis model assessment) was determined in all groups studied. Inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers: fibrinogen, nitric oxide (NO), L-citrulline, adiponectin and superoxide
dismutase (SOD) were quantified by spectrophotometry. Thoracic aorta
and liver histopathology were analyzed by optical microscopy. Probable
mitochondrial morphological changes in aortic smooth muscle cells were determined by electron microscopy and functional alterations were
measured by the enzymatic activity of citrate synthase and complex I, II, III and IV of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. 72 male rats, Wistar
strain, distributed in 6 groups (n12): control, HF for 30 and 60 days,
MS, MS + HF 30-day and 30-day HF + MS. In addition, to assess the behavior of proinflammatory, prooxidatives and antioxidants
biomarkers in patients with MS, a clinical model was designed. For
statistical analysis, quantitative variables were tested with MANOVA. Post hoc test used was Hotelling. The correlation degree between the
biomarkers was established with the Pearson correlation coefficient. Axiovision 4.8 program was used to analyze mitochondrial morphology.
A p<0.05 was considered in all cases. Groups with MS experimentally
induced showed hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, increased HOMA and hypertriglyceridemia typical of this syndrome. All groups with MS and HF in the differents experimental periods showed significant
difference of the biomarkers associated with ASD pathognomonic
changes. The liver sections of the groups with MS compatible changes with nonalcoholic liver disease were observed. In all groups were observed mitochondrial morphological changes associated with an enzymatic activity progressive decrease of citrate synthase and
respiratory chain reflecting mitochondrial dysfunction. Patients with MS
showed biomarkers levels significantly altered with HF, SOD increase and NO decrease. The increased cardiovascular risk MS patients have might be explained by the atherogenic changes. The impairment of mitochondrial function would be the main unifying mechanism of various risk factors such as metabolic syndrome and atherogenesis. The
implementation of early biomarkers in ischemic vascular disease and MS would be a valid strategy in early diagnosis in patients and to overcome barriers in the management of these diseases with high epidemiological impact in countries with low budget in health.Fil: Tarán, Mariana Denise.

Soul's Tools
This paper explores the various ways Aristotle refers to and employs “heat and cold” in his embryology. In my view, scholars are too quick to assume that references to heat and cold are references to matter or an animal’s material nature. More commonly, I argue, Aristotle refers to heat and cold as the “tools” of soul. As I understand it, Aristotle is thinking of heat and cold in many contexts as auxiliary causes by which soul activities (primarily “concoction”) are carried out. This, as I argue, is what it means to call them “tools” of soul. An upshot of this investigation is the fuller picture of Aristotle’s conception of efficient causation it provides in general, and the better understanding of the efficient causal operation of an organism’s nature or soul it provides in particular
