Pediatría: un enfoque integral desde sus orígenes hasta la actualidad / Pediatrics: A Comprehensive Approach From its Origins to Present Day / Pediatria: uma abordagem integral desde suas origens até o presente

El término pediatría surge del griego paidos (niño) e iatrea (curación). Inicialmente, la pediatría fue descrita como una de las ramas independientes de la medicina en Europa Central durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX; se independizó de áreas como la obstetricia y la medicina interna de forma progresiva. Fue descrita por primera vez en 1722 en el tratado Paedojatreja práctica por el profesor de anatomía y teoría médica Theodor Zwinger de la Universidad de Basileam. Los escritos más antiguos de los que se tiene conocimiento de enfermedades en población pediátrica datan de 2100 a. de C., en donde primaba el componente mágico-religioso (1). En Colombia, sus primeros reportes inician en 1868 con el inicio de la época denominada «Segunda etapa de la medicina colombiana¼, tras la fundación de la Universidad de los Estados Unidos de Colombia en Bogotá, en donde se implementa la cátedra de obstetricia y patología especial de las mujeres y niños, por el médico y presidente Santos Acosta. Posteriormente, se separan las asignaturas de obstetricia y patología especial de las mujeres, originándose la cátedra opcional de patología e higiene de la infancia. En 1891, José Ignacio Barberi, bogotano graduado de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia en el año 1881, se convierte en el primer especialista en dictar la asignatura Clínica infantil. En 1911, con la cátedra de pediatría en la Universidad de Antioquia, nace la especialidad en ese departamento, y el 27 de julio de 1917 se funda la Sociedad Colombiana de Pediatría, la cual propende por el bienestar de los niños y adolescentes, su familia y la sociedad, para el desarrollo de la pediatría como disciplina del hombre (2,3).

The term pediatrics comes from the Greek paidos (child) and iatrike (medicine). Initially, pediatrics was described as one of the independent branches of medicine in Central Europe during the second half of the 19th century. It progressively became independent from areas such as obstetrics and internal medicine. It was first described in 1722 in the treatise Paedojatreja práctica by the professor of anatomy and medical theory Theodor Zwinger of the University of Basel. The oldest known works on diseases in the pediatric population date back to 2100 B.C., in which the magical-religious component was predominant (1). In Colombia, its first reports begin in 1868 with the start of the period called the "Second stage of Colombian medicine". After the foundation of the Universidad de los Estados Unidos de Colombia in Bogotá. The subject of obstetrics and special pathology of women and children was implemented by physician and President Santos Acosta. Subsequently, the subjects of obstetrics and special pathology of women were separated, creating the optional subject of childhood pathology and hygiene. In 1891, José Ignacio Barberi, a Bogotá native graduated from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia in 1881, became the first specialist to teach the subject Children's medicine. In 1911, the specialization was born in the department of Antioquia with the subject of pediatrics at University of Antioquia. The Colombian Society of Pediatrics was founded on July 27, 1917, which advocates for the well-being of children and adolescents, their families and society, to develop pediatrics as a human discipline (2,3).

Objective@#To investigate the associations between early life exposure to particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM 2.5 ) and the risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) among school aged children.@*Methods@#A total of 165 children with ASD and 165 age and gender matched typical development (TD) children were recruited. Children s basic information were obtained via questionnaires, and the severity of ASD symptoms was assessed with Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS). Early life PM 2.5 exposure (preconception, entire pregnancy, and the first two years after birth) were extracted from the Tracking Air Pollution in China (TAP) datasets. Conditional Logistic regression and generalized linear model were used to evaluate the associations of early life exposure to PM 2.5 with the risk and the ASD severity symptoms, respectively.@*Results@#The PM 2.5 exposure of ASD group during preconception[(55.08±9.34)μg/m 3], entire pregnancy[(50.44±8.71)μg/m 3], the first year after birth [(45.04± 8.25 )μg/m 3] and the second year after birth [(40.19±7.12)μg/m 3] were significant higher than those in TD children [(47.66± 7.63 , 44.19±7.16, 38.95±6.07, 35.76±5.65)μg/m 3]( t =7.94, 7.13, 7.70, 6.32, P <0.05). After adjusting for potential confounding, each increase of 1 μg/m 3 in PM 2.5 was associated with higher risk of ASD during preconception ( OR=1.21, 95%CI =1.13-1.29), entire pregnancy( OR=1.18, 95%CI =1.11-1.26), the first year after birth ( OR=1.30, 95%CI =1.18-1.43) and the second year after birth ( OR=1.29, 95%CI =1.17-1.42). No similar results were observed regarding the analyses of SRS total and sub scale scores( P >0.05).@*Conclusion@#Early life exposure to PM 2.5 is relate to the risk of ASD, these findings indicated that more attention should be paid to ambient PM pollution in the early life prevention and control of ASD.

Thinking on Clinical Key Problems During Transformation of Preparations in Medical Institutions to Innovative Chinese Medicines / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Under the national policy background of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM）registration review and approval reform， TCM preparations in medical institutions（hereinafter referred to as medical institution preparations） have human use experience， conform to the characteristics of TCM clinical practice， and have advantages in the research and development of innovative Chinese medicines. Therefore， the research and development mode based on clinical experience prescription-medical institution preparations-innovative Chinese medicines has attracted widespread attention from the industry. However， in the process of development and use of medical institution preparations， there are generally clinical problems that restrict their transformation into innovative Chinese medicines， resulting in a relatively weak collection basis of human use experience and insufficient clinical evidence for supporting the research and development of new TCM medicines. In this paper， on the basis of sorting out the supporting regulations and relevant technical requirements of human use experience， and analyzing the clinical problems restricting the transformation of medical institution preparations， it provides suggestions for medical institutions to carry out high-quality research on human use experience of preparations in the process of TCM clinical practice from the aspects of continuously exploring clinical value， improving the construction of information system， focusing on the TCM clinical practice and giving full play to the advantages of discipline cooperation. By realizing the whole life cycle management of medical institution preparations based on three-combination evaluation evidence system， we can promote the transformation of medical institution preparations into innovative Chinese medicines.

Problems and thoughts in clinical safety evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine / 中国中药杂志

Amid the modernization and internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM), the safety of TCM has attracted much attention. At the moment, the government, scientific research teams, and pharmaceutical enterprises have made great efforts to explore methods and techniques for clinical safety evaluation of TCM. Although considerable achievements have been made, there are still many problems, such as the non-standard terms of adverse reactions of TCM, unclear evaluation indicators, unreasonable judgment methods, lack of evaluation models, out-of-date evaluation standards, and unsound reporting systems. Therefore, it is urgent to further deepen the research mode and method of clinical safety evaluation of TCM. Based on the current national requirements for the life-cycle management of drugs, this study focused on the problems in the five dimensions of clinical safety evaluation of TCM, including normative terms, evaluation modes, judgment methods, evaluation standards, and reporting systems, and proposed suggestions on the development of a life-cycle clinical safety evaluation method that conformed to the characteristics of TCM, hoping to provide a reference for future research.

Life cycle analysis comparison between textbooks and e-books in Philippine public schools

BACKGROUND@#Early studies show e-reading to be better in some impact assessment indicators. However, newer studies on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) devices shows various role of user behavior, device properties, and media properties in calculated environmental impacts. There is a need to study scenarios of media use such as printed media and its digitized forms to determine use scenarios that would minimize environmental impacts.@*OBJECTIVES@#The objectives of the study are the following: to model the life cycle from cradle to use phase of reading one textbook in both print and e-book format and to compare the impact of reading textbooks in print with impact of reading textbooks in E-book format.@*METHODS@#A functional unit of 280-page textbook read in 1 year was the basis for modelling life cycle from cradle to use phase of both print and e-book formats of a textbook. Processes related to paper production, printing and manufacture are based on United States Life Cycle Inventory Database. Processes related to E-book reading are taken from the Life Cycle Analysis of Sony Z5 mobile Phone. Normalized outputs on impact assessments were compared using Tools for Reduction and Assessment of Chemicals and Other Environmental Impacts (TRACI 2.1).@*RESULTS@#Use of Mobile Phone to read e-books is better in 4 out of 7 impact categories (Acidification Potential, Human Health-Cancer, Human Health – non-Cancer and Ozone Depletion) than reading using traditional textbooks. Reading traditional books is better in 2 out of 7 impact categories (Eutrophication and Freshwater Ecotoxicity). Global warming potential has comparable values between reading in print and in soft copy. @*CONCLUSION@#Depending on impact assessment of concern, either reading using mobile phone or thru printed textbook would give a better impact. It is also suggested to create hybrid activities that could model scenarios using both printed and soft copies of textbooks.

Bridging the Gaps in Social Life Cycle Assessment: Theoretical and Practical Contributions / Avanços à Avaliação Social do Ciclo de Vida: Contribuições Teóricas e Práticas

Abstract Sustainable development is based on three pillars: environment preservation, cost-effective production and human development. Within this context, emerges Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), a solid methodology for assessing the impact of products and services. Whereas Social LCA (S-LCA) is an early-stage approach, currently under development, requiring theoretical and methodological improvements. This study aimed at mapping the main gaps in S-LCA to identify potential contributions from the Psychology field. A preliminary literature review indicated several constraints: consensus between social indicators; methods for measuring subjective data; predominance of secondary data; underutilization of the Social Sciences, etc. Therefore, this study outlines multiples intersection points where the Social Sciences, more specifically, psychology could contribute to filling some of the theoretical and methodological gaps in S-LCA.

Resumo O desenvolvimento sustentável ocorre por três pilares: preservação do meio-ambiente, produção com custo econômico eficiente e desenvolvimento humano. Nesse contexto surge a Avaliação do Ciclo de Vida (ACV), que determina métodos para avaliação de impacto de produtos e serviços. A ACV Social (ACV-S) é uma abordagem em desenvolvimento, requerendo avanços à plena aplicação. Este estudo objetivou mapear as principais lacunas teórico-metodológicas da ACV-S para a identificação convergências com a psicologia. A revisão da literatura indicou diferentes lacunas: consenso entre indicadores sociais; métodos para mensuração de dados subjetivos; primazia de dados secundários; subemprego das Ciências Sociais etc. Assim, este estudo apontou pontos de interseção onde as Ciências Sociais, especificamente, a Psicologia poderá contribuir para preencher algumas das lacunas teórico-metodológicas da ACV-S.

Cognitive Reserve in Older Adults: A Cluster Analysis / Reserva Cognitiva em Adultos Idosos: Uma Análise de Cluster

Abstract Cognitive reserve (CR) is a construct generally associated with neurodegenerative diseases in aging. The aim of this paper was to examine the CR profiles of older adults at different stages of their lifespan and evaluate the importance of: (a) gender and CR; and (b) CR, cognition, and symptoms of depression. A sample of 195 older adults volunteered to participate in the study, and a cluster analysis was carried out on their responses in terms of the Cognitive Reserve Scale. The cluster analysis depicted two different profiles. Furthermore, women had a better CR than men. The results provide an important contribution to understanding the variables related to the CR construct.

A amostra contou com 195 adultos, e uma análise de cluster foi realizada a partir dos escores obtidos na Escala de Reserva Cognitiva. A análise de cluster descreveu dois perfis diferentes. Além disso, as mulheres apresentaram maior RC em comparação aos homens. Os resultados fornecem contribuições importantes para as variáveis relacionadas ao construto da RC.

Effect of parental weight and early life factors on overweight and obesity in children and adolescents / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#To investigate the association of the risk of overweight/obesity in children and adolescents with their early life factors and parental weight.@*Methods@#From June 1 to June 30 of 2022, the stratified randomized cluster sampling method was used to collect information using questionnaires from 5 370 primary and secondary school students in Hohhot City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and multivariate analysis were performed using multiple Logistic regression model estimation in a generalized linear model for parental BMI and early life factors in children and adolescents.@*Results@#The prevalence of overweight/obesity was 32.2% , and the prevalence of overweight/obesity among male students was 37.8%, which was higher than that of female students 26.1% χ 2= 84.59 , P <0.01). The results of the multirariate Logistic regression anaysis showed that the prevalence of overweight/obesity was higher in only paternal overweight ( OR=1.52, 95%CI =1.30-1.77), only maternal overweight ( OR=1.61, 95%CI = 1.31 -1.97), and parentl overweight ( OR=2.42, 95%CI =2.03-2.87)( P <0.05). The risk of overweight/obesity was higher in children with high birth weight ( OR=1.29, 95%CI =1.08- 1.55 ), children born by caesarean section ( OR=1.32, 95%CI =1.17- 1.48 ), and children whose mothers gained excessive weight during pregnancy ( OR=1.24, 95%CI =1.06-1.46), and the results were statistically significant ( P <0.05).@*Conclusions@#Overweight parents, excessive maternal weight gain during pregnancy, cesarean delivery, and high birth weight are associated with increased risk of overweight/obesity in children and adolescents. Attention should be paid to these aspects in obesity prevention and control.

The study involved 1 197 subjects for whom completed anthropometric examination and blood biochemistry testing data, as well as early life data. Early life and sociodemographic data were obtained through questionnaire surveys, while cardiometabolic indicator data were sourced through physical examinations and blood testing. Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the impact of early life factors on the cardiometabolic risk factors after adjusting for gender, age, and family history.@*Results@#The prevalence rate of cardiometabolic risk factors clustering in children and adolescents in Xiamen was 17.96%, with boys (26.67%) reporting higher rates than girls (9.64%), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ 2=57.69, P <0.01). For every additional early life risk factor, the risk factors of obesity increased 0.35 times ( OR=1.35, 95%CI=1.03-1.78, P <0.05). Post term pregnancy may be a primary early life risk factors for cardiometabolic risk factors, and it was associated with an increased risk of cardiometabolic risk factors clustering (OR=2.45, 95% CI =1.11-5.41) and high triglycerides ( OR=3.25, 95%CI =1.39-7.61)( P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#Increased cardiometabolic risk factors in youth is associated with early life adverse factors. It is crucial to pay greater attention to post term pregnancy as an early life factor and to consider obesity as a cardiometabolic risk factors. Controlling early life adverse factors is important for the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

Gestión de riesgos aplicado al diseño de un nuevo proceso productivo de un inmunoterapéutico del Centro de Ingeniería Genética y Biotecnología / Risk management applied to the design of a new production process for an immunotherapeutic from the Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology

El estudio expone las acciones dirigidas a la reducción de los riesgos en el diseño de un nuevo proceso de producción del ingrediente farmacéutico activo de un inmunoterapéutico producido en el Centro de Ingeniería Genética y Biotecnología. El análisis modal de fallas y efectos fue conducido por un equipo multidisciplinario del referido centro. La administración de riesgos a la calidad se aplicó a la tecnología de obtención de una proteína recombinante con uso diagnóstico que se proponía transferir a la Dirección de Desarrollo Tecnológico. El riesgo en el diseño de un nuevo proceso de producción evaluó las fallas de mayor influencia en el bajo recobrado y el incumplimiento de las especificaciones de calidad del inmunoterapéutico. Las causas potenciales de estos fallas fueron: la insuficiente cantidad de viales de los bancos de células, el medio de cultivo complejo con componentes de origen bovino, la incorrecta manipulación de las muestras por los operarios, el uso de equipamiento no adecuado, los parámetros de operación (agitación, pH y conductividad) fuera de límites de especificación con efecto sobre la pureza por el alto porcentaje de contaminantes del hospedero; así como, un medio filtrante inadecuado unido a una incorrecta preparación del sistema de filtración redundantes en un producto no estéril. Las acciones llevaron a modificaciones en la tecnología propuesta por la Dirección de Investigaciones Biomédicas que permitió el diseño de un nuevo proceso productivo para un biofarmacéutico destinado al tratamiento de enfermedades virales crónicas(AU)

The study aimed at reducing risks in the design of a new production process for the active pharmaceutical ingredient of an immunotherapeutic produced at the Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology. The failure mode and effects analysis were conducted by a multidisciplinary team from the center. Quality risk management was applied to the technology for obtaining a recombinant protein for diagnostic use that was proposed to be transferred to Technological Development Division. The risk analyses evaluated the greatest influence on low recovery and non-compliance with the immunotherapeutic quality specifications. The potential causes of the failures were: the insufficient number of vials in cell banks, the complex culture medium with components of bovine origin, the samples handling errors by the operators, the use of inappropriate equipment, the parameters of operation (agitation, pH and conductivity) outside specification limits affecting purity due to the high percentage of contaminants from the host; as well as, the inadequate filtering medium together with an incorrect preparation of the redundant filtration system in a non-sterile product. The actions could modify the technology proposed by Biomedical Research Division that allowed the design of a new production process of a biopharmaceutical product for the treatment of chronic viral diseases(AU)

Recent Advances on the Structure, Genomic Arrangement, Life Cycle, and Virus-Host Proteins Interactome of SARS CoV-2

Novel coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) is a highly contagious disease that has been recorded as a third global pandemic caused by the coronavirus (CoV) family in the past twenty years in the aftermath of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and middle east respiratory syndrome (MERS). COVID 19 is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that is transmitted by person-to-person transmission and it remains asymptomatic or presented with mild flu-like symptoms in most occasions, while in some instances, it may progress to severe life threatening and potentially fatal illnesses. This disease is now imposing immense negative influences across the world due to the highly contagious nature of the disease as well as due to the absence of effective treatment targeting the disease. This review addresses the recent advances on the structure and genomic arrangement of SARS-CoV-2 as well as the viral entry, replication and virus-host protein interactome that potentially contribute to cell infectivity, immune evasion, and viral spread. Unveiling the details of such aspects of SARS-CoV-2, therefore, possibly has paramount importance for discovering therapeutic targets.

Beneficios ambientales del reciclaje de residuos plásticos posconsumo para la producción de postes en Mendoza, Argentina / Environmental benefits of recycling: A case study on post-consumer plastic waste to produce poles in Mendoza, Argentina

RESUMEN Argentina, se encuentra entre los países de Latinoamérica con el mayor consumo de plásticos por habitante, con un valor de 42 kg, por año. El reciclaje mecánico de plástico, se presenta como una estrategia para recuperar los residuos y, de esta manera, evitar el uso de materia prima virgen, contribuyendo en la reducción de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar el desempeño ambiental del reciclaje de plástico para la elaboración de postes en Mendoza, Argentina. En la evaluación, se utilizó el indicador tasa de beneficio de la reciclabilidad, adaptado para ciclo abierto y para su cálculo, se utilizaron los resultados del análisis de ciclo de vida de dos escenarios (vertedero y reciclaje). El valor del indicador resultó, para este caso de estudio, en 22 %. Este resultado positivo indica un ahorro ambiental de reciclar residuos plásticos posconsumo con respecto a la producción del producto, a partir de materia prima virgen (madera) y la disposición final de los residuos plásticos en el vertedero. Posteriormente, se realizó un análisis de sensibilidad, para el parámetro del indicador que considera la vida útil de los productos y los resultados mostraron la necesidad de evitar su suposición, mediante su correcta determinación, con base a aspectos técnicos, económicos o de la calidad.

ABSTRACT Argentina is one of the largest consumers of plastic materials in Latin America; the average consumption is 42 kg per capita per year. Mechanical recycling of plastics is a process for recovering plastic materials, and this practice produces recycled plastics substituting virgin materials. Substituting virgin materials with recycling plastics is a common practice that contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This work aims to assess the environmental performance of a case study on plastic waste recycling in Mendoza, Argentina. We applied the open-loop recyclability benefit rate indicator in the plastic waste treatment, which is based on an LCA approach. The indicator results in 22 %, this result indicates a potential environmental saving related to the recycling of the post-consumer plastic waste compared to the production of virgin material (wood) and landfilling of waste in terms of GHG emissions. Furthermore, a sensitivity analysis was performed to study the effect of the parameter that considers the lifetime of the products. There is a need to account for the lifetime of the product made from recycled material and the one made from virgin material. The accounting could be determined based on economic aspects, technical aspects, or material quality.
