Infección simultánea del Injerto Renal por virus BK y CMV: reporte de casos / Simultaneous infection of the renal graft by BK virus and CMV: case report

RESUMEN El camino para llegar a la diálisis peritoneal (DP) como tratamiento de la enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) avanzada estuvo jalonado por hitos a lo largo de la historia. Los conocimientos sobre la anatomía del peritoneo fueron aportados por los embalsamadores egipcios, Galeno (siglo II), y Vesalio (siglo XVI). Recién en 1628 Asellius Gaselli describe los capilares linfáticos abdominales. El siglo XIX fue rico en avances: se identificarn la célula como unidad de los seres vivos y el fenómeno de ósmosis (Dutrochet, 1828), los cristaloides y coloides y su pasaje o no a través de una membrana (Graham T, 1850), el flujo de solutos y partículas a través de la membrana peritoneal (v.Recklinghausen, 1863), la absorción de sustancias hipotónicas y el aumento del efluente con las hipertónicas (Wegner G, 1877), y experimentos en animales confirmaron que la remoción de fluidos y otras sustancias ocurría primariamente a través de vasos sanguíneos (Starling & Tubby, 1894). Pero recién en el siglo 20 se utilizó la DP como tratamiento. El primer intento de utilizar el peritoneo para tratar la uremia lo realizó Georg Ganter en 1923, primero en animales con ligadura de uréteres y luego en dos pacientes. Recién en 1937 se publicó el primer caso que sobrevivió a un "lavaje "peritoneal (Wear y col), pero fueron Fine, Frank y Seligman quienes inicialmente en perros nefrectomizados y luego en pacientes con injuria renal aguda (IRA) demostraron que el método no sólo era viable, sino también efectivo. Luego continuaron los progresos, sobre todo para pacientes con IRA, pero también en algunos casos con ERC avanzada: el doble frasco colgante (Maxwell M, 1959), la diálisis crónica intrahospitalaria con cicladora (Tenckoff y col, 1965), las bolsas plásticas para DP, hasta que en 1975 Moncrief y col pusieron en marcha la DP continua ambulatoria, y en 1981 se introdujo la DP automatizada. Los años noventa fueron de expansión de la DP, hoy instalada como una de las alternativas de tratamiento de la ERC avanzada.

ABSTRACT Milestones throughout history marked the path to reach peritoneal dialysis (PD) as a treatment for advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). The Egyptian embalmers, Galen (2nd century) and Vesalius (16th century) provided knowledge about the anatomy of the peritoneum. It was not until 1628 that Asellius Gaselli described the abdominal lymphatic capillaries. The 19th century was rich in advances: the cell was identified as the unit of living beings and the phenomenon of osmosis (Dutrochet, 1828), crystalloids and colloids and their passage or not through a membrane (Graham T, 1850), the flow of solutes and particles through the peritoneal membrane (Recklinghausen, 1863), the absorption of hypotonic substances and the increase in effluent with hypertonic ones (Wegner G, 1877), and animal experiments confirmed that fluid removal and other substances occurred primarily through blood vessels (Starling & Tubby, 1894). But it was not until the 20th century that PD was applied as treatment. The first attempt to use the peritoneum to treat uremia was made by Georg Ganter in 1923, first in animals with ureteral ligation and then in two patients. It was not until 1937 that the first case that survived a peritoneal "lavage" was published (Wear et al), but it was Fine, Frank and Seligman who initially in nephrectomized dogs and later in patients with acute kidney injury (ARI) demonstrated that the method was not only viable, but also succesful. Then progress continued, especially for patients with ARI, but also in some cases with advanced CKD: the double hanging bottle (Maxwell M, 1959), chronic intrahospital dialysis with a cycler (Tenckoff et al, 1965), plastic bags for PD, until 1975 when Moncrief et al launched continuous ambulatory PD, and in 1981 automated PD was introduced. The 1990s saw the expansion of PD, to date installed as one of treatment alternatives for advanced CKD.

Surgical strategy and procedure of adrenocortical carcinoma with retrohepatic inferior vena cava tumor thrombus with intraoperative ultrasound guidance / 中华肝胆外科杂志

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) with inferior vena cava thrombosis is rare and has a poor prognosis, and the current literature overwhelmingly supports aggressive surgical intervention. This article summarizes the management of a patient with ACC with inferior vena cava thrombosis, and discusses the feasibility of detailed preoperative imaging data and intraoperative ultrasound to assess the superior and inferior boundaries of ACC with inferior vena cava thrombosis, while describing the intraoperative ultrasound-guided surgical planning and procedure for ACC with retrohepatic inferior vena cava tumor thrombus.

Knowledge, attitudes and perceptions on the use of telemedicine among adults aged 18-34 in Manila, Philippines during the COVID-19 pandemic

@#<p style="text-align: justify;">Telemedicine has been an emerging method for delivering healthcare services due to the challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. This descriptive quantitative correlational study is aimed at assessing the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions (KAP), and their relationship among adults aged 18-34 without prior experience in the use of telemedicine in Manila, Philippines during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study had 322 eligible respondents who answered an online survey questionnaire of three parts that asked for their socio-demographic profile, KAP on telemedicine. Descriptive statistics, profile analysis and Spearman's rho were utilized as statistical tools. The respondents' knowledge was on an average to low level, and attitude and perception towards telemedicine were both neutral. Results showed no significant difference between the KAP of the respondents when analyzed according to socio-demographic variables. Knowledge and attitude have a weak positive linear relationship while knowledge and perception have a moderate positive linear relationship. A strong positive linear relationship was indicated between attitude and perception. A positive attitude can be attributed to a positive perception towards telemedicine but both do not consequently come from high knowledge levels of it.</p>

Effects of astaxanthin supplementation in fertilization medium and/or culture medium on the fertilization and development of mouse oocytes / 대한생식의학회지

We investigated the effect of supplementing fertilization medium and/or culture medium with astaxanthin (AST) on the two phases of in vitro fertilization: gamete fertilization and embryo development. Methods: Mouse cumulus-oocyte complexes were divided into four groups with 5 µM AST added to the fertilization medium (group 3, n=300), culture medium (group 2, n=300), or both media (group 4, n=290). No AST was added to the control group (group 1, n=300). Results: The fertilization rate was significantly higher (p<0.001) in the groups using AST supplemented fertilization medium (group 3, 79.0%; group 4, 81.4%) than those without AST (group 1, 56.3%; group 2, 52.3%). The blastocyst rate calculated from the two-cell stage was significantly lower (p<0.001) in the groups using AST-supplemented embryo culture medium (group 2, 58.0%; group 4, 62.3%) than in those without AST (group 1, 82.8%; group 3, 79.8%). The blastocyst rate calculated from the number of inseminated oocytes was highest in group 3 (189/300, 63.0%) and lowest in group 2 (91/300, 30.3%) with statistical significance compared to other groups (p<0.001). There were significantly higher numbers of cells in the inner cell mass and trophectoderm, as well as significantly higher total blastocyst cell counts, in group 3 than in the control group. Conclusion: An increased blastocyst formation rate and high-quality blastocysts were found only in the fertilization medium that had been supplemented with AST. In contrast, AST supplementation of the embryo culture medium was found to impair embryo development.

Study on relationship between caffeine intake level and metabolic syndrome and related diseases in Korean adults: 2013 ~ 2016 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey / 한국영양학회지

PURPOSE: This study examined the relationship between caffeine intake and metabolic syndrome in Korean adults using the 2013 ~ 2016 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data (KNHANES). METHODS: The caffeine database (DB) developed by Food and Drug Safety Assessment Agency in 2014 was used to estimate the caffeine consumption. The food and beverage consumption of the 24 hr recall data of 2013 ~ 2016 KNHANES were matched to items in the caffeine DB and the daily caffeine intakes of the individuals were calculated. The sample was limited to non-pregnant healthy adults aged 19 years and older, who were not taking any medication for disease treatment. RESULTS: The average daily caffeine intake was 41.97 mg, and the daily intake of caffeine of 97% of the participants was from coffee, teas, soft drinks, and other beverages. Multivariate analysis showed that the caffeine intake did not affect metabolic syndrome, hypertension, low HDL-cholesterol, and abdominal obesity. Diabetes and hypertriglyceridemia, however, were 0.76 (95% CI: 0.63 ~ 0.93), and 0.87 (95% CI: 0.77 ~ 0.98) in third quintile (Q3), and 0.66 (95% CI: 0.53 ~ 0.82) and 0.83 (95% CI: 0.73 ~ 0.94) in fourth quintile (Q4) compared to Q1, respectively. Therefore, caffeine intake of 3.66 ~ 45.81 mg per day is related to a lower risk of diabetes and hypertriglyceridemia. CONCLUSION: The study showed that adequate caffeine intake (approximately 45 mg) was associated with a lower prevalence of diabetes and hypertriglyceridemia. Therefore, it can be used as a guideline for the adequate level of caffeine intake for maintaining health.

Combination of mRNA of Repair-related Genes in Rat Skeletal Muscles for Wound Age Estimation / 法医学杂志

Objective To investigate the estimation of early and mid-term wound age by a combination of four mRNAs, the DNA polymerase delta-interacting protein 3 （POLDIP3） mRNA, regulator of chromosome condensation 1 like （RCC1L） mRNA, proline-rich 5 （PRR5） mRNA, and ribonucleic acid export 1 （RAE1） mRNA in rats skeletal muscles. Methods The model of rat skeletal muscle contusion was established, and then contusion area muscle tissue was extracted 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44 and 48 h after injury. Histomorphological changes during the repair process after rat skeletal muscle contusion were observed. The relative expressions of Poldip3, Rcc1l, Prr5 and Rae1 mRNAs were detected by reverse transcription real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （RT-qPCR）. Different stages of wound age were classified by using the expression patterns of four genes at various time points after injury. The accuracy of the results was verified by Fisher discriminant analysis. Results Histomorphological results showed that the repair process after skeletal muscle contusion occurred with the prolonging of time. Through combination of the expression trends of the four kinds of mRNAs, the 48 h after injury could be divided into three periods, 4-12 h, 16-28 h and 32-48 h. The Fisher discrimination method showed that the classification accuracy rates of the three periods were 83.3%, 75.0% and 73.3%, respectively. Conclusion The classification discrimination based on the relative expression of every gene has a higher accuracy, and the accuracy of wound age estimation with combination of mRNA relative expressions is higher than that with a single indicator. By combining with Fisher discrimination method, this method can be used for early and mid-term wound age estimation.

Research progress of IL-33/ST2 signaling pathway in bone metabolism / 口腔疾病防治

@#Interleukin-33(IL-33) is a new member of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) cytokine superfamily. It can activate mast cells, lymphocytes and macrophages to produce Th2 cytokines and plays a very important role in inflammation, infection, and autoimmune disease. The classical signal pathway of IL-33 includes the isotrimer of ST2 and interleukin-1 receptor accessory protein (IL-1 RAcP), which transduces signals into cells. The IL-33/ST2 signaling pathway affects bone metabolism by activating T and B lymphocytes. This article reviews the role of the IL-33/ST2 signaling pathway in bone metabolism. The results of a literature review showed that at present, scholars at home and abroad still dispute the role of IL-33 in bone metabolism. Some scholars believe that IL-33 can inhibit osteoclast formation, and IL-33 has been recently implicated in physiological bone remodeling. However, other scholars believe that IL-33 can promote osteoclast formation and differentiation, which leads to bone absorption. IL-33 and its signaling pathway are involved in bone metabolism of alveolar bone in periodontitis and periapical periodontitis. The specific mechanism remains unclear, and further studies are warranted.

Homogeneity of Different Functional mRNA Indicators for Wound Age Estimation / 法医学杂志

OBJECTIVES@#To explore the homogeneity level of four different functional mRNA （PUM2, TAB2, Cx45 and CHRNA1） expressions in rats with skeletal muscle contusion.@*METHODS@#The relative expressions of PUM2, TAB2, Cx45 and CHRNA1 mRNAs were detected by quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction （RT-qPCR）. The coefficient of variation （CV） of the relative expressions for different individuals in each injury group was calculated. The extreme value of CV, cumulative variability, and CVCV were compared.@*RESULTS@#A high CV of PUM2 and TAB2 mRNAs appeared on several different time points. However, the CV of Cx45 and CHRNA1 mRNAs was relatively low. The cumulative variability from high to low was PUM2, CHRNA1, TAB2 and Cx45 mRNAs. The relative expression of PUM2 mRNA was significantly higher than that of TAB2, Cx45 and CHRNA1 mRNAs （ P<0.05）. There was no statistical significance （P>0.05） in the CVCV of the relative expression of TAB2, CHRNA1 and Cx45 mRNAs.@*CONCLUSIONS@#As the mRNAs involving in biological process regulation, PUM2 and CHRNA1 mRNAs show a lowest individual homogeneity of the relative expression followed by TAB2 mRNA. As the mRNAs participating in the composition of cellular structure, Cx45 and CHRNA1 mRNAs show a high individual homogeneity of the relative expressions. The functional classification should be considered for the screening of the mRNA indicators used for wound age estimation.

Percepção de pacientes oncológicos sobre terminalidade de vida / Perception of oncology patients on the terminality of life / Percepción de los pacientes oncológicos sobre la terminalidad de la vida

Resumo Objetivou-se analisar, por meio de pesquisa descritiva, a percepção de pacientes oncológicos diante da terminalidade da vida. Aplicou-se questionário para 100 pacientes oncológicos, dos quais 85% desconheciam testamento vital/diretivas antecipadas de vontade, 81% desconheciam cuidados paliativos e 70% desconheciam ordem de não reanimar. Após esclarecimento sobre os termos empregados, 62% concordariam em elaborar testamento vital/diretivas antecipadas de vontade, 82% concordariam em receber cuidados paliativos no domicílio e 64% em ser reanimados em qualquer situação, mas a maioria (73%) discordou da prática de distanásia. Apenas 11% referiram inadequação na forma de comunicação de seu diagnóstico pelo médico. A presença de metástases suscitou reflexão mais ampla sobre terminalidade da vida. Os resultados permitem inferir que é necessário incentivar a discussão sobre terminalidade da vida na população durante a assistência aos pacientes, bem como estimular o debate sobre o assunto durante a formação de profissionais de saúde.

Abstract With the aim of analysing the perception of cancer patients towards the end of life, a questionnaire was applied to 100 oncologic patients, of which 85% were unaware of living will/advance directives, 81% were unaware of the terms palliative care and 70% were unaware of order to not reanimate. After clarifying the meaning of the terms used, 62% agreed to make living will/advance directives, 82% to receive palliative care at home and 64% to be reanimated in any situation, but the majority (73%) disagreed with the practice of futility. Only 11% reported inadequacies in the communication of their diagnosis by the physician. The fact of having metastases elicited a broader reflection on the termination of life. The results allow to infer that it is necessary to encourage the discussion about termination of life to the population during patient care, as well to promote the respective training to health professionals since the undergraduate course.

Resumen Con el fin de analizar la percepción de los pacientes con cáncer frente al final de su vida, a través de una investigación descriptiva, se aplicó un cuestionario a 100 pacientes de cáncer, entre los cuales el 85% desconocía las directivas anticipadas de voluntad, el 81% desconocía los términos de cuidados paliativos y el 70% desconocía la orden de no reanimar. Después de la clarificación del significado de los términos utilizados, el 62% estaba de acuerdo para elaborar su testamento vital/directivas anticipadas de voluntad, el 82% para recibir los cuidados paliativos en el hogar y el 64% para ser restablecido en cualquier situación, pero la mayoría (73%) no estuvo de acuerdo con la distanasia. Tan sólo el 11% consideró inadecuada la comunicación del diagnóstico por el médico. El hecho de portar metástasis amplió la reflexión sobre el final de la vida. Los resultados muestran que es necesario fomentar la discusión del final de la vida en la población durante la atención al paciente, y promover la respectiva formación a los profesionales de la salud desde el pregrado.

El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la eficacia a corto y a largo plazo del taping combinado con la Escuela de Columna en el tratamiento de la lumbalgia cronica. Materiales y Métodos: Ensayo clinico controlado aleatorizado. El grupo experimental utilizo cinta (tape) y realizo Escuela de Columna, y el grupo de control solo realizo Escuela de Columna. Al comienzo y al final del tratamiento, se registraron el dolor con la escala analogica visual, la flexibilidad con el Modified Finger Tip-to-Floor Test y la funcionalidad con el Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire. Solo al inicio se midio la depresion con el Beck Depression Inventory. Resultados: Se incluyeron 220 pacientes, solo 42 del grupo experimental y 33 del grupo de control completaron el tratamiento. El delta de dolor entre la primera y la quinta sesion no mostro diferencias entre los grupos, independientemente del tiempo (p = 0,329). Tampoco hubo diferencias entre los grupos en las determinaciones de depresion, funcionalidad (p = 0,75) y flexibilidad (p = 0,20). Conclusión: El taping combinado con Escuela de Columna comparado con el tratamiento exclusivo de Escuela de Columna no resulto mas eficaz para disminuir el dolor, aumentar la funcionalidad y la flexibilidad en los pacientes con lumbalgia cronica.

Introduction: From 70% to 85% of the general population suffers from back pain. Back School programs have been effective in the treatment of chronic low back pain. Taping may be useful in reducing pain and normalizing muscle function. The objective of this study was to evaluate the short- and long-term effectiveness of combining taping with Back School. Methods: Randomized controlled clinical trial. The experimental group used tape and made Back School and the control group only made Back School. At the beginning and the end of treatment, pain was evaluated with a visual analogue scale, the flexibility was determined with the Modified Finger Tip-to-Floor Test and functionality was calculated with the Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire. Depression was recorded with the Depression Beck Inventory just at the beginning. Results: Two hundred and twenty patients were enrolled, only 42 in the experimental group and 33 in the control group completed the treatment. Pain variation between the first and the fifth session showed no differences between groups regardless of time (p = 0.329). There were no differences between groups in functionality (p = 0.75), flexibility (p = 0.20) and depression. Conclusion: The combination of taping and Back School compared with only Back School was not more effective in reducing pain, increasing functionality and flexibility in patients with chronic low back pain.
