    The Development of Peptide-Based Tools for the Analysis of Angiogenesis

    SummaryLimitations to the application of molecularly targeted cancer therapies are the inability to accurately match patient with effective treatment and the absence of a prompt readout of posttreatment response. Noninvasive agents that rapidly report vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels using positron emission tomography (PET) have the potential to enhance anti-angiogenesis therapies. Using phage display, two distinct classes of peptides were identified that bind to VEGF with nanomolar affinity and high selectivity. Co-crystal structures of these different peptide classes demonstrate that both bind to the receptor-binding region of VEGF. 18F-radiolabelling of these peptides facilitated the acquisition of PET images of tumor VEGF levels in a HM7 xenograph model. The images obtained from one 59-residue probe, 18F-Z-3B, 2聽hr postinjection are comparable to those obtained with anti-VEGF antibody B20 72聽hr postinjection. Furthermore, VEGF levels in growing SKOV3 tumors were followed using 18F-Z-3B as a PET probe with VEGF levels increasing with tumor size

    Emotion Regulation Ability and Resilience in a Sample of Adolescents from a Suburban Area

    Earlier research has identified a remarkable number of related factors to resilience during adolescence. Historically, theoretical treatments of resilience have been focused almost exclusively on psychosocial levels of analysis to derive explanatory models. However, there is insufficient understanding of the role of emotion regulation explaining competent functioning despite the experience of adversity (resilience), especially during adolescence. This study explores the relationship between both, emotional regulation abilities and strategies, and resilience in a sample of adolescents from suburbs high-schools (Jerez de la Frontera, Spain). The study also examines how using different emotional regulation strategies may help the development of resilience levels at this stage. Participants of the study were 164 adolescents ranging from 13 to 16 years old (M = 13.98; SD = 0.66). Emotion regulation was measured using the Cognitive Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ, Garnefski et al., 2001), and sections D and H of Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test, a performance test (Emotion Regulation Ability sections, MSCEIT, Spanish version, Mayer et al., 2003). Resilience was evaluated with ERE (Educative Resilience Scale for children and adolescents, Saavedra and Castro, 2009). Verbal Intelligence (Yuste, 1997) and personality traits (Cattell and Cattell, 1986) were assessed as two independent variables. Results supported the idea that emotion regulation ability (MSCEIT, D and H sections, Extremera et al., 2006) is a significant predictor of adolescents' resilience. Moreover, cognitive regulation strategies, such as positive reappraisal, predicted perceived resilience among students. Sociability (A factor of HSPQ, sociability) also correlated with resilience levels. Hence, these results are promising, implying that emotion regulation ability may act as a helpful tool preventing adolescents from irrational risky behaviors, commonly assumed at this developmental stage.INDESS (Instituto Universitario del Desarrollo social y Sostenible

    Esta propuesta de investigaci贸n analiza la importancia de incorporar estrategias de gesti贸n e innovaci贸n para el desarrollo de competencias cient铆ficas de los docentes en formaci贸n con el fin de caracterizar el uso y apropiaci贸n por parte de ellos de 茅stas estrategias, generando espacios de intercambio de ideas, trabajo colaborativo y aprendizaje permanente que conlleven al mejoramiento continuo de su proceso de formaci贸n y lo sensibilicen de la responsabilidad social que asume desde el ejercicio de su profesi贸n. Durante el desarrollo de esta propuesta investigativa se tuvo en cuenta conceptos como las competencias cient铆ficas, las percepciones de los docentes en formaci贸n, estrategias de gesti贸n e innovaci贸n, a partir de una serie de sustentos te贸ricos del modelo pedag贸gico social- cognitivo implementado en La Corporaci贸n Universitaria del Caribe (CECAR), que contrastado con los conceptos previos de los docentes en formaci贸n permitieron caracterizar las estrategias de gesti贸n e innovaci贸n que utilizan en sus pr谩cticas pedag贸gicas. El desarrollo metodol贸gico de la investigaci贸n se ubica dentro del paradigma cualitativo, de tipo acci贸n-participaci贸n el cual permiti贸 la aproximaci贸n del grupo investigativo, la intervenci贸n y participaci贸n de los sujetos de estudio, resaltando a todos los actores de la investigaci贸n como agentes activos en el proceso a trav茅s de talleres, conversatorios, entre otros, lo que gener贸 una propuesta de incorporaci贸n de estrategias de gesti贸n e innovaci贸n para el desarrollo de competencias cient铆ficas.PregradoLicenciado(a) en Educaci贸n B谩sica con 脡nfasis en Ciencias Naturale
