A bibliometric analysis and literature review on emotional skills.

The content, management, and implementation of social skills have been developed since the end of the 20th century as a model of capabilities. Thus, as human beings develop and train their basic cognitive and perceptual-motor functions, they increase their ability to solve and cope with difficulties. This article aims to present a bibliometric and systematic review of social skills, using query sources in databases such as Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus between the years 2000 and 2022, with platforms such as Bibliometrix and Gephi. This search yielded a total of 233 records in WoS and 250 records in Scopus that were merged and, after eliminating 143 duplicate data, were consolidated into 340 records that enclose the academic production of 20 years. Through scientific mapping, the main authors, journals, and countries in this field were determined; similarly, the most relevant studies were classified into three categories, namely, classic, structural, and perspectives, which were represented by means of the metaphor of the tree of science. In addition, a program for further studies was planned, such as in-depth qualitative research measuring observationally and directly taking into account emotional expressiveness, emotional understanding, emotion regulation, and behavior, and the impact of social skills training on social problem-solving. Finally, another important aspect to mention is that this research work is useful for the scientific academic community in many areas of knowledge such as psychology, education, and managers of educational institutions.

Muscle-like Scaffolds for Biomechanical Stimulation in a Custom-Built Bioreactor.

Tissue engineering aims to develop in-vitro substitutes of native tissues. One approach of tissue engineering relies on using bioreactors combined with biomimetic scaffolds to produce study models or in-vitro substitutes. Bioreactors provide control over environmental parameters, place and hold a scaffold under desired characteristics, and apply mechanical stimulation to scaffolds. Polymers are often used for fabricating tissue-engineering scaffolds. In this study, polycaprolactone (PCL) collagen-coated microfilament scaffolds were cell-seeded with C2C12 myoblasts; then, these were grown inside a custom-built bioreactor. Cell attachment and proliferation on the scaffolds were investigated. A loading pattern was used for mechanical stimulation of the cell-seeded scaffolds. Results showed that the microfilaments provided a suitable scaffold for myoblast anchorage and that the custom-built bioreactor provided a qualified environment for the survival of the myoblasts on the polymeric scaffold. This PCL-based microfilament scaffold located inside the bioreactor proved to be a promising structure for the study of skeletal muscle models and can be used for mechanical stimulation studies in tissue engineering applications.

Valoración y tipificación de perfiles de salud mental positiva en confinamiento por la COVID-19 / Assessment and classification of positive mental health profiles in confinement by COVID-19

Introducción: La situación actual dada por la COVID-19 no solamente ha afectado la economía y la salud de muchos países sino también ha ocasionado un sinnúmero de problemáticas en la salud mental de la población en general. Por lo cual, es menester el compromiso y la investigación por parte de profesionales de las Ciencias Sociales y la Psicología. Objetivo: Estructurar un método de análisis para valorar y tipificar perfiles psicométricos de salud mental positiva en población colombiana en situación de confinamiento por la COVID-19. Material y Métodos: Se revisó la literatura relacionada con salud mental positiva y la técnica multivariada de análisis de conglomerados; se tomó una muestra de 270 hombres y mujeres con edades comprendidas entre 18 y 75 años, a los que se les aplicó la escala de Salud Mental Positiva, propuesta por Lluch, relacionada con los factores satisfacción personal, actitud prosocial, autocontrol, autonomía, resolución de problemas y autoactualización, y habilidades de relaciones interpersonales; se aplicó la técnica multivariada de análisis de conglomerados para establecer los perfiles psicométricos de Salud Mental Positiva. Resultados: Muestran 4 perfiles que tipifican la Salud Mental Positiva en confinamiento, fueron valorados el perfil 1 con un promedio de 2,05 y el perfil 2 con 2,69, situándose en una clasificación media, mientras que el perfil 3 con un promedio de 3,13 y el perfil 4 con un promedio de 3,32, se sitúan en una clasificación alta de salud mental positiva. Conclusiones: El método de análisis propuesto es significativo para valorar y tipificar perfiles psicométricos de Salud Mental Positiva en situación de confinamiento por la COVID-19(AU)

Introduction: The current situation given by the COVID-19 has not only affected the economy and health of many countries, but has also caused a number of problems in the mental health of the general population. Therefore, the commitment and research among professionals in the social sciences and psychology is necessary. Objective: To structure a method of analysis to evaluate and typify psychometric profiles of positive mental health in the Colombian population in a situation of confinement by COVID-19. Material and Methods: We reviewed the literature related to positive mental health and the multivariate technique of cluster analysis. We took a sample of 270 men and women between the ages of 18 and 75, to whom we applied the Positive Mental Health Scale proposed by Lluch related to the factors of personal satisfaction, prosocial attitude, self-control, autonomy, problem solving and self-updating, and interpersonal relationship skills. We applied the multivariate technique of cluster analysis to establish the psychometric profiles of positive mental health. Results: Four profiles that typify positive mental health in confinement were shown, with profile 1 being rated with an average of 2.05 and profile 2 with 2.69 being in a medium rating, while profile 3 with an average of 3.13 and profile 4 with an average of 3.32 being in a high rating of positive mental health. Conclusions: The proposed method of analysis is significant to evaluate and typify psychometric profiles of positive mental health in confinement by COVID-19(AU)

Proliferación linfoide atípica intravascular de linfocitos T-CD30+ sobre granuloma piogénico (hemangioma capilar lobular) / Intravascular atypical T-cell proliferation T-CD30+ in a pyogenic granuloma (lobular capillary hemangioma)

En este trabajo presentamos el caso de una proliferación linfoide atípica constituida por una población de linfocitos T-CD30+, que ocupa los vasos de un granuloma piogénico (hemangioma capilar lobular). Esta población linfoide T (CD4) presenta atipia y alto índice proliferativo, por lo que resulta necesario descartar un linfoma intravascular. Se ha descrito recientemente una proliferación de estas características que puede ser malinterpretada como un linfoma intravascular debido a la atipia y al alto índice mitótico. Los pacientes tienen buen pronóstico y no presentan signos de linfoma. El reordenamiento T resultó nulo, y la paciente continúa asintomática hasta el presente. Nuestro objetivo es presentar esta nueva entidad de carácter reactivo que simula un linfoma, y resaltar la importancia de su reconocimiento en el diagnóstico diferencial de un linfoma intravascular cutáneo (AU)

We report a case of atypical intravascular CD30+ T-cell proliferation in a patient with pyogenic granuloma (Lobular Capillary Hemangioma). The T (CD4) cell population showed cell atypia and a high proliferation index, thus it was necessary to discard an intravascular lymphoma. Cutaneous intravascular lymphoma commonly represents a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with predominantly intravascular growth, although it could be also represented by intravascular T cell lymphomas. Recently a CD30+ T-cell proliferation was described that could mimic an intravascular T cell lymphoma. In our case TCR rearrangement was null and the patient remained healthy. We report a new case of this benign reactive process and discuss the importance of its differential diagnosis (AU)

Rickettsiosis tras la picadura de una garrapata: una clínica sutil en muchas ocasiones, debemos estar atentos / Rickettsiosis after tick bite: A subtle clinic picture on many occasions, we must be vigilant

Las rickettsiosis constituyen un grupo de enfermedades transmitidas por la picadura de garrapatas, clasificándose en 2 grandes grupos: fiebres manchadas y fiebres tifíticas. Además, recientemente se ha descrito una nueva entidad conocida como linfadenopatía por picadura de garrapata. Presentamos una serie retrospectiva de casos pediátricos diagnosticados de rickettsiosis durante los años 2013-2014. Se incluyeron un total de 8 pacientes, 2 de ellos diagnosticados de fiebre botonosa mediterránea y 6 de linfadenopatía por picadura de garrapata, identificándose en 3 de ellos Rickettsia slovaca, Rickettsia sibirica mongolitimonae y Rickettsia massiliae. Se describen la etiología, las características clínicas y el tratamiento realizado en cada uno de ellos. El interés de estos casos radica en que aunque mayoritariamente presentan un curso benigno, la elevada sospecha diagnóstica y el inicio precoz del tratamiento parecen ser beneficiosos en su evolución

Rickettsia diseases are a group of tick-borne transmitted diseases, classified into 2 large groups: spotted fevers and typhus fevers. In addition, a new condition has been described recently, known as tick-borne lymphadenopathy. A retrospective series is presented of paediatric cases of rickettsia diseases diagnosed in 2013 and 2014. A total of 8 patients were included, of which 2 of them were diagnosed as Mediterranean spotted fever, and 6 as tick-borne lymphadenopathy. Rickettsia slovaca, Rickettsia sibirica mongolitimonae, and Rickettsia massiliae were identified in 3 of them. Aetiology, clinical features and treatment carried out in each of them are described. The interest of these cases is that, although most have a benign course, the high diagnostic suspicion and early treatment seem to be beneficial for its outcome

The rapid effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 require the vitamin D receptor and influence 24-hydroxylase activity: studies in human skin fibroblasts bearing vitamin D receptor mutations.

If both rapid and genomic pathways may co-exist in the same cell, the involvement of the nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR) in the rapid effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25-(OH)(2)D(3)) remains unclear. We therefore studied rapid and long term effects of 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) in cultured skin fibroblasts from three patients with severe vitamin D-resistant rickets and one age-matched control. Patients bear homozygous missense VDR mutations that abolished either VDR binding to DNA (patient 1, mutation K45E) or its stable ligand binding (patients 2 and 3, mutation W286R). In patient 1 cells, 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) (1 pm-10 nm) had no effect on either intracellular calcium or 24-hydroxylase (enzyme activity and mRNA expression). In contrast, cells bearing the W286R mutation had calcium responses to 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) (profile and magnitude) and 24-hydroxylase responses to low (1 pm-100 pm) 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) concentrations (activity, CYP24, and ferredoxin mRNAs) similar to those of controls. The blocker of Ca(2+) channels, verapamil, impeded both rapid (calcium) and long term (24-hydroxylase activity, CYP24, and ferredoxin mRNAs) responses in patient and control fibroblasts. The MEK 1/2 kinase inhibitor PD98059 also blocked the CYP24 mRNA response. Taken together, these results suggest that 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) rapid effects require the presence of VDR and control, in part, the first step of 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) catabolism via increased mRNA expression of the CYP24 and ferredoxin genes in the 24-hydroxylase complex.
