| 1 | Triglyceride levels and apolipoprotein E polymorphism in patients with acute pancreatitis显示文摘BACKGROUND:Hypertriglyceridemia is an unusual cause of acute pancreatitis and sometimes considered to be an epiphenomenon.This study aimed to investigate the clinical and analytical features and the APOE genotypes in patients with acute pancreatitis and severe hypertriglyceridemia.METHODS:We undertook a one-year,prospective study of patients with acute pancreatitis whose first laboratory analysis on admission to the emergency department included measurement of serum triglycerides.The APOE genotype was determined and the patients answered an established questionnaire within the first 24 hours concerning their alcohol consumption,the presence of co-morbidities and any medications being taken.The patients' progression,etiological diagnosis,hospital stay and clinical and radiological severity were all recorded.RESULTS:Hypertriglyceridemia was responsible for 7 of 133 cases of pancreatitis (5%);the remaining cases were of biliary (53%),idiopathic (26%),alcoholic (11%) or other (5%) origin.Compared with these remaining cases,the patients with hypertriglyceridemia were significantly younger,had more relapses,and more often had diabetes mellitus.They usually consumed alcohol or consumed it excessively on the days before admission.Also,the ε4 allele of the APOE gene was more common in this group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:One of 20 episodes of acute pancreatitis is caused by hypertriglyceridemia and it is linked to genetic (ε4 allele) and comorbid factors such as diabetes and,especially,alcohol consumption. | Radka Ivanova Susana Puerta Alfonso Garrido Ignacio Cueto Ana Ferro María José Ariza Andrés Cobos Pedro González-Santos Pedro Valdivielso | 2012 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2012,11,1: | 26 |

| 3 | Recruitment maneuvers in acute respiratory distress syndrome: The safe way is the best way显示文摘Acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS) represents a serious problem in critically ill patients and is associated with in-hospital mortality rates of 33%-52%. Recruitment maneuvers(RMs) are a simple, low-cost, feasible intervention that can be performed at the bedside in patients with ARDS. RMs are characterized by the application of airway pressure to increase transpulmonary pressure transiently. Once non-aerated lung units are reopened, improvements are observed in respiratory system mechanics, alveolar reaeration on computed tomography, and improvements in gas exchange(functional recruitment). However, the reopening process could lead to vascular compression, which can be associated with overinflation, and gas exchange may not improve as expected(anatomical recruitment). The purpose of this review was to discuss the effects of different RM strategies- sustained inflation, intermittent sighs, and stepwise increases of positive end-expiratory pressure(PEEP) and/or airway inspiratory pressure- on the following parameters: hemodynamics, oxygenation, barotrauma episodes, and lung recruitability through physiological variables and imaging techniques. RMs and PEEP titration are interdependent events for the success of ventilatory management. PEEP should be adjusted on the basis of respiratory system mechanics and oxygenation. Recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses suggest that RMs are associated with lower mortality in patients with ARDS. However, the optimal RM method(i.e., that providing the best balance of benefit and harm) and the effects of RMs on clinical outcome are still under discussion, and further evidence is needed. | Raquel S Santos Pedro L Silva Paolo Pelosi Patricia RM Rocco | 2015 | World Journal of Critical Care Medicine2015,4,4: | 19 |
| 4 | Bartter's syndrome:clinical findings,genetic causes and therapeutic approach显示文摘Backgound Bartter's syndrome(BS)is a rare group of salt losing tubulopathies due to the impairment of transport mecha-nisms at the thick ascending limb of the Henle's loop.Data sources Literature reviews and original research articles were collected from database,including PubMed and Scopus.Results According to the time of onset and symptoms,BS can be classified into antenatal and classic BS.Molecular studies have identified different subtypes of BS.BS types Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ are caused by mutations on genes encoding the luminal Na^(+)-K^(+)-2Cl^(-) co-transporter,the luminal K+ channel ROMK,and the basolateral chloride channel ClC-Kb(CLCNKB),respectively.Loss-of-function mutations of Barttin CLCNK type accessory beta subunit cause BS type Ⅳa.Simultaneous mutations of CLCNKB and CLCNKA cause BS type Ⅳb.BS type Ⅴ consists in a novel transient form characterized by antenatal presentation due to mutations in the MAGE family member D2.Severe gain-of-function mutations of the extracellular calcium sensing receptor gene can result in an autosomal dominant condition of BS.Main clinical and biochemical alterations in BS include polyuria,dehydration,hypokalemia,hypochloremic metabolic alka-losis,hyperreninemia,high levels of prostaglandins,normal or low blood pressure,hypercalciuria and failure to thrive.Treatment focuses mainly at correcting dehydration and electrolyte disturbances and in measures to reduce polyuria,including the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications to control excessive renal prostaglandin E2 production.Conclusions Early diagnosis and treatment of BS may prevent long-term consequences such as growth failure,nephrocal-cinosis and end-stage renal disease. | Flavia Cristina Carvalho Mrad Sílvia Bouissou Morais Soares Luiz Alberto Wanderley de Menezes Silva Pedro Versiani dos Anjos Menezes Ana Cristina Simoes-e-Silva | 2021 | World Journal of Pediatrics2021,17,1: | 10 |
| 5 | Clinical and pathological characterization of epstein-barr virus-associated gastric carcinomas in portugal显示文摘AIM To determine the prevalence of epstein-barr virus(eb V)-associated gastric carcinomas in the North Region of Portugal and to study its clinicopathological characteristics. METHODS We have performed a retrospective study including a total of 179 consecutive patients with gastric cancer(GC) submitted to gastrectomy during 2011 at the Portuguese Oncology Institute of Porto. Clinical and pathological data was collected from individual clinical records and inserted on a database with unique codification. Tumour tissues were collected from the institutional tumour bank. eb V was detected by in situ hybridization for the detection of eb V-encoded small RNAs(ebe Rs) and eb V latent proteins(LMP1 and LMP2 A) were detected by immunohistochemistry.RESULTS The analysis showed that eb V-associated gastric carcinomas(eb Va GC) represents 8.4%(15/179) of all GC cases, with a significant differential distribution among histological types(P < 0.001): 100%(3/3) of medullary carcinomas, 100%(1/1) of adenosquamous carcinoma, 8.7%(8/92) of tubular adenocarcinomas, 8.0%(2/25) of mixed carcinomas and 2%(1/51) in poorly cohesive carcinomas. The analysis revealed a higher predominance of eb Va GC in the upper third and middle(cardia, fundus and body) of the stomach(P = 0.041), a significant lower number of regional lymph nodes invasion(P = 0.025) and a tendency for better prognosis(P = 0.222). eb V latent protein expression revealed that all eb Va GC cases were LMP1-negative, nevertheless 6 cases(40%) expressed LPM2 A, which reveals that these cases show a distinct eb V-Latency profile(latency II-like).CONCLUSION eb Va GC represents 8.4% of all GC in the North Region of Portugal. The eb V-infected patients have specific clinic-pathological features that should be further explored to develop new strategies of management and treatment. | Joana Ribeiro Andreia Oliveira Mariana Malta Claudia Oliveira Fernanda Silva Ana Galaghar Luís Pedro Afonso Maria Cassiano Neves Rui Medeiros Pedro Pimentel-Nunes Hugo Sousa | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,40: | 9 |
| 6 | Biometric and ICL-related risk factors associated to sub-optimal vaults in eyes implanted with implantable collamer lenses显示文摘Background:To identify biometric and implantable collamer lens(ICL)-related risk factors associated with suboptimal postoperative vault in eyes implanted with phakic ICL.Methods:This study reports a retrospective case series of the first operated eye in 360 patients implanted with myopic spherical or toric ICL.Preoperatively,white-to-white(WTW),central keratometry(Kc)and central corneal thickness(CCT)were measured using the Pentacam.Anterior-segment optical coherence tomography(AS-OCT,Visante)was applied preoperatively for measuring the horizontal anterior-chamber angle-to-angle distance(ATA),internal anterior chamber depth(ACD),crystalline lens rise(CLR),anterior-chamber angle(ACA)and postoperatively the vault.Eyes were divided into three vault groups:low(LVG:≤250μm),optimal(OVG:>250 and<1000μm)and high(HVG:≥1000μm).Multinomial logistic regression(MLR)was used to find the sub-optimal vault predictors.Results:MLR showed that CLR,ICL size minus the ATA(ICL size-ATA),age,ICL spherical equivalent(ICLSE)and ICL size as contributing factors for sub-optimal vaults(pseudo-R2=0.40).Increased CLR(OR:1.01,CI:1.00-1.01)and less myopic ICLSE(OR:1.22,CI:1.07-1.40)were risk factors for low vaults.Larger ICL size-ATA(OR:41.29,CI:10.57-161.22)and the 13.7mm ICL(OR:7.08,CI:3.16-15.89)were risk factors for high vaults,whereas less myopic ICLSE(OR:0.85,CI:0.76-0.95)and older age(OR:0.92,CI:0.88-0.98)were protective factors.Conclusion:High CLR and low ICLSE were the major risk factors in eyes presenting low vaults.In the opposite direction,ICL size-ATA was the major contributor for high vaults.This relationship was more critical in higher myopic ICLSE,younger eyes and when 13.7mm ICL were used.The findings show that factors influencing the vault have differentiated weight of influence depending on the type of vault(low,optimal or high). | Santiago Cerpa Manito Angel Sánchez Trancón Oscar Torrado Sierra António Manuel Baptista Pedro Miguel Serra | 2021 | Eye and Vision2021,8,1: | 5 |

| 8 | Cerebrospinal fluid phosphorylated tau,visinin-like protein-1,and chitinase-3-like protein 1 in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease显示文摘Background:Visinin-like protein-1(VILIP-1)and chitinase-3-like protein 1(CHI3L1 or YKL-40)in cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)are newly discovered markers indicating neuronal damage and microglial activation,respectively.Phosphorylated tau(p-tau)reflects the neuropathology of Alzheimer’s disease(AD)and is useful as diagnostic markers for AD.However,it is unknown whether these biomarkers have similar or complementary information in AD.Methods:We stratified 121 participants from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative(ADNI)database into cognitively normal(CN),stable mild cognitive impairment(sMCI),progressive MCI(pMCI),and dementia due to AD.Analysis of covariance(ANOVA)and chi-square analyses,Spearman correlation,and logistic regression models were performed to test the demographic,associations between biomarkers,and diagnostic accuracies,respectively.Linear mixed-effects models were used to evaluate the effects of CSF amyloid-β(Aβ)on above biomarkers within diagnostic groups,the combination of diagnostic group and Aβstatus as predictor,and CSF biomarkers as predictors of AD features,including cognition measured by Mini–Mental State Examination(MMSE)and brain structure and white matter hyperintensity(WMH)measured by magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).Results:P-tau,VILIP-1,and YKL-40 were all predictors of AD diagnosis,but combinations of biomarkers did not improve the diagnostic accuracy(AUC 0.924 for p-tau,VILIP-1,and YKL-40)compared to p-tau(AUC 0.922).P-tau and VILIP-1 were highly correlated(r=0.639,p<0.001)and strongly associated with Aβpathology across clinical stages of AD,while YKL-40 was correlated with Aβpathology in CN and AD groups.VILIP-1 was associated with acceleration of cognitive decline,hippocampal atrophy,and expansion of ventricles in longitudinal analyses.YKL-40 was associated with hippocampal atrophy at baseline and follow-up,while p-tau was only associated with worsening WMH at baseline.Conclusions:CSF levels of p-tau,VILIP-1,and YKL-40 may have utility for discriminating between cognitively normal subjects and patients with AD.Increased levels of both VILIP-1 and YKL-40 may be associated with disease degeneration.These CSF biomarkers should be considered for future assessment in the characterization of the natural history of AD. | Hua Zhang Kok Pin Ng Joseph Therriault Min Su Kang Tharick APascoal Pedro Rosa-Neto Serge Gauthier the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative | 2018 | Translational Neurodegeneration2018,7,1: | 5 |
| 9 | Glycoprotein biomarkers for the detection of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma显示文摘Pancreatic cancer(Pa C) shows a clear tendency to increase in the next years and therefore represents an important health and social challenge. Currently, there is an important need to find biomarkers for PaC early detection because the existing ones are not useful for that purpose. Recent studies have indicated that there is a large window of time for PaC early detection, which opens the possibility to find early biomarkers that could greatly improve the dismal prognosis of this tumor. The present manuscript reviews the state of the art of the existing PaC biomarkers. It focuses on the anomalous glycosylation process and its role in PaC. Glycan structures of glycoconjugates such as glycoproteins are modified in tumors and these modifications can be detected in biological fluids of the cancer patients. Several studies have found serum glycoproteins with altered glycan chains in PaC patients, but they have not shown enough specificity for PaC. To find more specific cancer glycoproteins we propose to analyze the glycan moieties of a battery of glycoproteins that have been reported to increase in PaC tissues and that can also be found in serum. The combination of these new candidate glycoproteins with their aberrant glycosylation together with the existing biomarkers could result in a panel, which would expect to give better results as a new tool for early diagnosis of PaC and to monitor the disease. | Esther Llop Pedro E Guerrero AdriàDuran Sílvia Barrabés Anna Massaguer María JoséFerri Maite Albiol-Quer Rafael de Llorens Rosa Peracaula | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,24: | 4 |
| 10 | Lymphocyte subsets in alcoholic liver disease显示文摘AIM:To compare lymphocyte subsets between healthy controls and alcoholics with liver disease.METHODS:The patient cohort for this study included individuals who were suspected to have alcoholic liver disease(ALD) and who had undergone liver biopsy(for disease grading and staging,doubts about diagnosis,or concurrent liver disease;n = 56).Normal controls included patients who were admitted for elective cholecystectomy due to non-complicated gallstones(n = 27).Formalin-fixed,paraffin-embedded liver biopsy specimens were sectioned and stained with hematoxylin and eosin and Perls' Prussian blue.The non-alcoholic steatohepatitis score was used to assess markers of ALD.Lymphocyte population subsets were determined by flow cytometry.T lymphocytes were identified(CD3+),and then further subdivided into CD4+ or CD8+ populations.B lymphocytes(CD19+) and natural killer(NK) cell numbers were also measured.In addition to assessing lymphocyte subpopulation differences between ALD patients and controls,we also compared subsets of alcoholic patients without cirrhosis or abstinent cirrhotic patients to normal controls.RESULTS:The patient cohort primarily consisted of older men.Active alcoholism was present in 66.1%.Reported average daily alcohol intake was 164.9 g and the average lifetime cumulative intake was 2211.6 kg.Cirrhosis was present in 39.3% of the patients and 66.1% had significant fibrosis(perisinusoidal and portal/periportal fibrosis,bridging fibrosis,or cirrhosis) in their liver samples.The average Mayo end-stage liver disease score was 7.6.No hereditary hemochromatosis genotypes were found.ALD patients(n = 56) presented with significant lymphopenia(1.5 × 109/L ± 0.5 × 109/L vs 2.1 × 109/L ± 0.5 × 109/L,P < 0.0001),due to a decrease in all lymphocyte subpopulations,except for NK lymphocytes:CD3+(1013.0 ± 406.2/mm3 vs 1523.0 ± 364.6/mm3,P < 0.0001),CD4+(713.5 ± 284.7/mm3 vs 992.4 ± 274.7/mm3,P < 0.0001),CD8+(262.3 ± 140.4/mm3 vs 478.9 ± 164.6/mm3,P < 0.0001),and CD19+(120.6 ± 76.1/mm3 vs 264.6 ± 88.0/mm3,P < 0.0001).CD8+ lymphocytes suffered the greatest reduction,as evidenced by an increase in the CD4+/CD8+ ratio(3.1 ± 1.3 vs 2.3 ± 0.9,P = 0.013).This ratio was associated with the stage of fibrosis on liver biopsy(rs = 0.342,P = 0.01) and with Child-Pugh score(rs = 0.482,P = 0.02).The number of CD8+ lymphocytes also had a positive association with serum ferritin levels(rs = 0.345,P = 0.009).Considering only patients with active alcoholism but not cirrhosis(n = 27),we found similar reductions in total lymphocyte counts(1.8 × 109/L ± 0.3 × 109/L vs 2.1 × 109/L ± 0.5 × 109/L,P = 0.018),and in populations of CD3+(1164.7 ± 376.6/mm3 vs 1523.0 ± 364.6/mm3,P = 0.001),CD4+(759.8 ± 265.0/mm3 vs 992.4 ± 274.7/mm3,P = 0.003),CD8+(330.9 ± 156.3/mm3 vs 478.9 ± 164.6/mm3,P = 0.002),and CD19+(108.8 ± 64.2/mm3 vs 264.6 ± 88.0/mm3,P < 0.0001).In these patients,the CD4+/CD8+ ratio and the number of NK lymphocytes was not significantly different,compared to controls.Comparing patients with liver cirrhosis but without active alcohol consumption(n = 11),we also found significant lymphopenia(1.3 × 109/L ± 0.6 × 109/L vs 2.1 × 109/L ± 0.5 × 109/L,P < 0.0001) and decreases in populations of CD3+(945.5 ± 547.4/mm3 vs 1523.0 ± 364.6/mm3,P = 0.003),CD4+(745.2 ± 389.0/mm3 vs 992.4 ± 274.7/mm3,P = 0.032),CD8+(233.9 ± 120.0/mm3 vs 478.9 ± 164.6/mm3,P < 0.0001),and CD19+(150.8 ± 76.1/mm3 vs 264.6 ± 88.0/mm3,P = 0.001).The NK lymphocyte count was not significantly different,but,in this group,there was a significant increase in the CD4+/CD8+ ratio(3.5 ± 1.3 vs 2.3 ± 0.9,P = 0.01).CONCLUSION:All patient subsets presented with decreased lymphocyte counts,but only patients with advanced fibrosis presented with a significant increase in the CD4+/CD8+ ratio. | Luís Costa Matos Paulo Batista Nuno Monteiro Joo Ribeiro Maria A Cipriano Pedro Henriques Fernando Giro Armando Carvalho | 2013 | World Journal of Hepatology2013,5,2: | 4 |
| 11 | 未处理或上游法处理后精子的DNA碎片能否预测使用赠卵ICSI后的妊娠?显示文摘本研究比较了未处理的精子和上游法处理后精子中的DNA碎片值(SDF)预测使用赠卵ICSI后妊娠的可能性。总共81例不孕女性接受通过夫精和赠卵ICSI后的胚胎移植。这种方式排除了目前公认的影响精子DNA修复的女方因素。在ICSI受精时,同时使用DNA碎片率检测试剂盒(Halosperm)进行盲法检测未处理的和上游法处理后精液中的精子DNA碎片。经上游法处理后的精液样本中SDF值呈显著下降。有趣的是,未处理的或上游法处理后精液样本中的SDF值均能预测妊娠。通过ROC曲线和其衍生的约登指数计算得出未处理前和上游法处理后精子sDF的临界值分别是24.8%和17.5%。未处理精子SDF预测妊娠的敏感性和特异性分别为75%和69%,而上游法处理后的精子SDF预测妊娠的敏感性和特异性分别是78%和73%。虽然SDF值增高与生育呈负相关,但我们发现在精子筛选降低sDF值后再与赠卵进行ICSI并不能保证获得妊娠。这表明目前的技术手段对于一些DNA损伤仍无法探及,从而相对影响辅助生殖成功的机率。因此,我们认为对目前的“冰山模式”作一些修饰后可以用来解释SDF在生育中的作用。 | Jaime Gosálvez Pedro Caballero Carmen López-Fernández Leonor Ortega José Andrés Guijarro José Luís FernAndez Stephen D Johnston Rocio Nufiez-Calonge | 2013 | Asian Journal of Andrology2013,15,6: | 3 |
| 12 | Complex patterns of environmental niche evolution in Iberian columbines (genus Aquilegia, ranunculaceae)显示文摘Aims This study explores the patterns of niche differentiation in a group of seven closely related columbines(genus Aquilegia,ranunculaceae)from the Iberian Peninsula.Populations of these columbines are subject to complex patterns of divergent selection across environ-ments,which partly explain the taxonomic structure of the group.This suggests the hypothesis that niche divergence must have occurred along the process of diversification of the group.Methods We used maxEnt to build environmental niche models of seven subspecies belonging to the three species of Aquilegia present in the Iberian Peninsula.From these models,we compared the envi-ronmental niches through two different approaches:ENmtools and multivariate methods.Important FindingsmaxEnt distributions conformed closely to the actual distribution of the study taxa.ENmtools methods failed to uncover any clear patterns of niche differentiation or conservatism in Iberian columbines.multivariate analyses indicate the existence of dif-ferentiation along altitudinal gradients and along a gradient of climatic conditions determined by the summer precipitation and temperatures.However,climatic conditions related to winter tem-perature and precipitation,as well as soil properties,were equally likely to show conservatism or divergence.The complex patterns of niche evolution we found suggest that Iberian Columbines have not been significantly constrained by forces of niche conservatism,so they could respond adaptively to the fast and profound climate changes in the Iberian Peninsula through the glacial cycles of the Pleistocene. | Rafael Jaime Julio M.Alcántara Jesús M.Bastida Pedro J.Rey | 2015 | Journal of Plant Ecology2015,8,5: | 3 |
| 13 | Second-look surgery plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for patients with colorectal cancer at high risk of peritoneal carcinomatosis:Does it really save lives?显示文摘The treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) of colorectal origin with cytoreductive surgery(CRS) plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has a 5-year recurrence-free or cure rate of at least 16%, so it is no longer labeled as a fatal disease, and offers prolonged survival for patients with a low peritoneal carcinomatosis index. Metachronous PC of colorectal origin is so predictable that there is a model which has been used to successfully determine the individual risk of each patient. Patients at risk are clearly identified; those with the highest risk have small peritoneal nodules present in the first surgery (70% probability of developing PC), ovarian metastases(60%), perforated tumor onset or intraoperative tumor rupture(50%). Current clinical, biological and imaging techniques still lack sufficient sensitivity to diagnose PC in its initial stages, when CRS plus HIPEC has a greater impact and a higher cure rate. Second-look surgery with HIPEC or prophylactic HIPEC at the time of the first intervention have been proposed as means of preventing and/or anticipating clinical or radiological relapse in at-risk patients. Both techniques have shown a significant decrease in peritoneal relapses and should be considered essential weapons in the management of colorectal cancer. | Delia Cortes-Guiral Dominique Elias Pedro Antonio Cascales-Campos Alfredo Badía Yébenes Ismael Guijo Castellano Ana Isabel León Carbonero JoséIgnacio Martín Valadés Jesus Garcia-Foncillas Damian Garcia-Olmo | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,3: | 3 |

| 15 | Immunomodulating effects of antibiotics used in the prophylaxis of bacterial infections in advanced cirrhosis显示文摘The use of norfloxacin either as primary or secondary prophylaxis of bacterial infections in advanced cirrhosis has improved patient's survival. This may be explained not only due to a significant decrease in the number of infections, but also because of a direct immunomodulatory effect. Selective intestinal decontamination with norfloxacin reduces translocation of either viable bacteria or bacteria-driven products from the intestinal lumen. In addition, norfloxacin directly modulates the systemic inflammatory response. The proinflammatory cytokine profile secreted by neutrophils from these patients shows a close, significant, and inverse correlation with serum norfloxacin levels. Similar effects have been described with other quinolones in different clinical conditions. Although the underlying mechanisms are not well defined for most of the antibiotics, the pathways triggered for norfloxacin to induce such immunomodulatory effects involve the down-regulation of pro-inflammatory inducible nitric oxide synthase, cyclooxygenase-2, and NF-κB and the up-regulation of heme-oxygenase 1 and IL-10 expression. The knowledge of these immunomodulatory effects, additional to their bactericidal role, improves our comprehension of the interaction between antibiotics and the cellular host response and offer new possibilities for the development of new therapeutic strategies to manage and prevent bacterial infections in cirrhosis. | Pedro Zapater José Manuel González-Navajas José Such Rubén Francés | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,41: | 3 |
| 16 | Heart rate variability to assess ventilatory thresholds in professional basketball players显示文摘Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine if heart rate variability(HRV) during incremental test could be used to estimate ventilatory threshold(VT) in professional basketball players, with sufficient precision to be used in their training. Furthermore, the second aim was to analyse the association between HRV and 3 methods of VT determination by gas analysis.Methods: Twenty-four professional basketball players(age: 23.4 ± 4.9 years; height: 195.4 ± 9.8 cm; body mass: 92.2 ± 11.9 kg) performed an incremental running test to exhaustion. First ventilatory threshold(VT1) was determined by ventilatory equivalent(VE) and HRV and second ventilatory threshold(VT2) was determined by 3 methods of gases analysis(V-slope, VE and gas exchange ratio(R), and HRV). Pearson's coefficient(r) was used to detect differences between data and the strength of each relationship. The mean of absolute differences and Bland–Altman analysis were used to evaluate whether there was agreement.Results: The results showed no significant differences in HR and oxygen consumption(VO2) at VT1 between the 2 methods. Furthermore, no significant differences among the methods of gases analysis and HRV were observed in speed, HR, and VO2 at VT2. Moreover, VTs estimated using HRV and gas methods were significantly correlated. Correlation in HR values was higher between R and HRV(r = 0.96) and VE and HRV(r = 0.96) than V-slope and HRV(r = 0.90).Conclusion: These findings provide a practical, inexpensive approach for evaluating specific training loads when determining VT2 in basketball players. Therefore, HRV is an alternative method to determine VT2 without the application of expensive technology that limits its use to laboratories. | Domingo Jesús Ramos-Campo Jacobo A.

| 17 | Potential Use of a Poultry Manure Digestate as a Biofertiliser:Evaluation of Soil Properties and Lactuca sativa Growth显示文摘Anaerobic digestion is a process that is widely used for the treatment of organic wastes. The digestate can be used as a soil amendment or crop fertiliser. The aims of our work were to evaluate 1) the physicochemical composition and pathogen content in a digestate from poultry manure, according to international regulations, and 2) the effect of its soil application on the major chemical and biological soil properties and on the growth of Lactuca sativa. The experiment consisted of two groups of pots(with and without crop). Treatments applied to each group were as follows: low and high doses of digestate and inorganic fertiliser, and no application(control)(low dose: 70 kg nitrogen(N) ha^(-1) and 21 kg phosphorus(P) ha^(-1); high dose: 210 kg N ha^(-1) and 63 kg P ha^(-1)). Soil samples were taken 7 and 34 d(harvest) after treatment applications. Heavy metal and pathogen contents in the digestate were below the upper limit values. Despite the high pH and electrical conductivity values of the digestate, both soil parameters presented acceptable values for crop growth. Although there were no initial increases in total inorganic N and available P in soil with digestate application, an increase in the fresh weight of crop was observed with the high dose application. This is probably associated with the slow nutrient release from the digestate during the development of the crop. Changes in the microbial community were temporary and occurred at the initial sampling stage of the experiment. | Natalia MóRTOLA Romina ROMANIUK Vanina COSENTINO Maximiliano EIZA Patricia CARFAGNO Pedro RIZZO Patricia BRES Nicolás RIERA Marcos ROBA Mariano BUTTI Daiana SAINZ Lucrecia BRUTTI | 2019 | Pedosphere2019,29,1: | 2 |
| 18 | Conservative management of perforated duodenal diverticulum: A case report and review of the literature显示文摘Duodenal diverticula are a relatively common condition. They are asymptomatic, unless they become complicated, with perforation being the rarest but most severe complication. Surgical treatment is the most frequently performed approach. We report the case of a patient with a perforated duodenal diverticulum, which was diagnosed early and treated conservatively with antibiotics and percutaneous drainage of secondary retroperitoneal abscesses. We suggest this method could be an acceptable option for the management of similar cases, provided that the patient is in good general condition and without septic signs. | David Martínez-Cecilia Alvaro Arjona Sánchez Manuel Gómez álvarez Eva Torres Tordera Antonio Luque Molina Victor Valentí Azcárate Javier Briceo Delgado Francisco Javier Padillo Pedro López-Cillero Sebastián Rufián Pea | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,12: | 2 |
| 19 | comLocal adaptation to distinct elevational cores contributes to current elevational divergence of two Aquilegia vulgaris subspecies显示文摘Aims Phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation of populations at their distributional limits are crucial to understand species colonization and persistence in novel or marginal environments,as well as spe-cies divergence and niche width evolution.We assess the contri-bution of these processes to shape current elevational limits and determine elevational phenotypic divergence between two subspe-cies of Aquilegia vulgaris(subsp.vulgaris and nevadensis).Methods We conducted sowing and transplant experiments considering four elevations throughout the current elevational range of A.vulgaris in southern Iberian Peninsula.Experiments were designed to explore,on the one hand,local adaptation through three components of performance(germination,survival and growth)and,on the other hand,the phenotypic differentiation and/or plasticity associated to local adaptation.Four populations per subspecies(three from the elevational core and one from the elevational boundary)were used as seed sources.Patterns of local adaptation and phenotypic differentiation are examined in the context of the‘centre-periphery’hypothesis.Important Findings Central populations of both subspecies performed better at their local elevations while marginal populations were maladapted,confirming the hypothesis and contributing to explain the current elevational segregation of these subspecies.Density of glandular pubescence and germination timing seem to be related to local adaptation,through phenotypic differentiation between subspe-cies or elevations.The widespread subsp.vulgaris showed signals of adaptive plasticity in the timing of germination while it was not the case in the endemic subsp.nevadensis. | Jesús M.Bastida Pedro J.Rey Julio M.Alcántara | 2015 | Journal of Plant Ecology2015,8,3: | 2 |
