“Clareo y Florisea" o la historia de una mentira

La novela “Clareo y Florisea” del novelista Alonso Núñez de Reinoso es considerada la primera novela bizantina española. Apareció en 1552 y ha sido considerada una imitación de la obra “Leucipa y Clitofonte” por la similitud de situaciones y semejanza de historias.

"El Grao de Valencia"en los orígenes de la dramaturgia barroca

“El Grao de Valencia” (aprox. 1589-1590?) es un trabajo perteneciente al primer período de las obras dramáticas de Lope de Vega aunque pueden encontrarse recursos propios del teatro del siglo XVII. Es además innegable la existencia de algunos errores en la composición y estructura de la obra. Comparando esta comedia con otras obras de Lope, parece experimental o de transición en muchos de los personajes, en gran número de las escenas, en la ausencia del "gracioso", en las descripciones de los personajes. Los temas no están todavía codificados... deberá pasar algún tiempo para que el teatro de Lope alcance la categoría de «teatro nacional» y su esquema dramático sea imitado por el resto de los dramaturgos de su época que se inicia ya en este Lope-preLope.El Grao de Valencia (aproximately 1589-1590?) is a work belonging to the first period of Lope de Vega's dramatic plays. Although, some basic recourses of 17 th century theatre can be found, it is also undeniable the existence of some mistakes in the composition and structure of this play. Comparing this comedy with other Lope's works this seems experimental or transitional in many of the characters, in many scenes, in the absence of "funny", in the descriptions of the characters. Topics are not yet coded ... should spend some time for Lope's theater until it achieves the category of "national theater" and its dramatic scheme was imitated by other playwrights of his time.notPeerReviewe

Exploring the keys to the success of crowdfunding campaigns in Ecuador

[Resumen] En este documento se identifican los factores con mayor incidencia en el éxito de las campañas de financiamiento colectivo en las plataformas ecuatorianas de crowdfunding. Basados en la información disponible de todos los casos de las 4 plataformas que actualmente operan en el país (98 campañas) y empleando como estrategia econométrica la implementación de un modelo logit, se determinó que las consecuciones de fondos dependen de las variables asociadas al marketing y a la organización. Los resultados mostraron que las variables monto recaudado y número de patrocinadores están asociadas al éxito de las campañas. Este artículo abre el camino para profundizar el análisis de los elementos claves para aumentar el éxito de las campañas en las plataformas de recaudación de fondos en la web.[Abstract] This document identifies the factors with the greatest impact on the success of collective financing campaigns in Ecuadorian crowdfunding platforms. Based on the available information of all the cases of the 4 platforms that currently operate in the country (98 campaigns) and using the implementation of a logit model as an econometric strategy, it was determined that fund acquisitions depend on the variables associated with marketing and of organizational type. The results showed that the variables inherent to the amount collected and number of sponsors are associated with the success of the campaigns. This paper opens the way to deepen the analysis of the key elements to increase the success of the campaigns in the platforms of fundraising on the web

Sequential Colocalization of ERa, PR, and AR Hormone Receptors Using Confocal Microscopy Enables New Insights into Normal Breast and Prostate Tissue and Cancers

Multiplex immunohistochemistry (mIHC) use markers staining different cell populations applying widefield optical microscopy. Resolution is low not resolving subcellular co-localization. We sought to colocalize markers at subcellular level with antibodies validated for clinical diagnosis, including the single secondary antibody (combination of anti-rabbit/mouse-antibodies) used for diagnostic IHC with any primary antibody, and confocal microscopy. We explore colocalization in the nucleus (ColNu) of nuclear hormone receptors (ERa, PR, and AR) along with the baseline marker p63 in paired samples of breast and prostate tissues. We established ColNu mIHCF as a reliable technique easily implemented in a hospital setting. In ERa+ breast cancer, we identified different colocalization patterns (nuclear or cytoplasmatic) with PR and AR on the luminal epithelium. A triple-negative breast-cancer case expressed membrane-only ERa. A PR-only case was double positive PR/p63. In normal prostate, we identified an ERa+/p63+/AR-negative distinct population. All prostate cancer cases characteristically expressed ERa on the apical membrane of the AR+ epithelium. We confirmed this using ERa IHC and needle-core biopsies. ColNu mIHCF is feasible and already revealed a new marker for prostate cancer and identified sub-patterns in breast cancer. It could be useful for pathology as well as for functional studies in normal prostate and breast tissuesThis study has been supported by projects from the State Research Agency (AEI), and Ministry of Science and Innovation, Spain, MINECO-FEDER PID2019-110437RB-I00 (to CVA) and Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII)-FEDER PI19/01316 (to JMCT).

Lat-1 and glut-1 carrier expression and its prognostic value in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors

Cancer cells develop mechanisms that increase nutrient uptake, including key nutrient carriers, such as amino acid transporter 1 (LAT-1) and glucose transporter 1 (GLUT-1), regulated by the oxygen-sensing Von Hippel Lindau-hypoxia-inducible factor (VHL-HIF) transcriptional pathway. We aimed to analyze these metabolic players in gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET) and correlate them with tumor malignancy and progression. LAT-1, GLUT-1, and pVHL expression was analyzed in 116 GEP-NETs and 48 peritumoral tissue samples by immunohistochemistry. LAT-1 was stably silenced using specific shRNA in the human NET BON cell line. LAT-1 expression was significantly increased in tumor tissue compared to non-tumor tissue in both gastrointestinal (67% vs. 44%) and pancreatic NETs (54% vs. 31%). Similarly, GLUT-1 was substantially elevated in gastrointestinal (74% vs. 19%) and pancreatic (58% vs. 4%) NETs. In contrast, pVHL expression was decreased (85% vs. 58%) in pancreatic NETs. Tumors with metastases at diagnosis displayed increased LAT-1 and GLUT-1 and decreased pVHL expression (p < 0.001). In accordance with these data, silencing LAT-1 curtailed cell proliferation in BON cells. These findings suggest that specific mechanisms that increase nutrient uptake, such as LAT-1 and GLUT-1, are increased in GEP-NETs, whereas pVHL is decreased. These markers might be related to the proliferation and metastatic capacity of these tumors.This work was supported by the following grants: Proyectos de Investigación en Salud (FIS) PIE13-0041, PI16-02091 and PI19-00584 (funded by Instituto de Salud Carlos III), TIRONET2-CM, B2017/BMD-3724 (funded by Comunidad de Madrid), GETNE G1707 and GCI1901 (funded by Grupo Español de Tumores Neuroendocrinos y Endocrinos) and cofinanced by FEDER funds to M.M.
