RESUMO

Pollen is one of the primary causes of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis in urban centers. In the present study, the concentrations of 39 different pollens in the Santiago de Chile metropolitan area over the period 2009-2013 are characterized. The pollen was monitored daily using Burkard volumetric equipment. The contribution of each type of pollen and the corresponding time trends are evaluated. The concentrations of the pollens are compared with the established threshold levels for the protection of human health. The results show that the total amount of pollen grains originating from trees, grasses, weeds and indeterminate sources throughout the period of the study was 258,496 grains m-3, with an annual average of 51,699 ± 3,906 grains m-3 year-1. The primary source of pollen is Platanus orientalis, which produces 61.8% of the analyzed pollen. Grass pollen is the third primary component of the analyzed pollen, with a contribution of 5.82%. Among the weeds, the presence of Urticacea (3.74%) is remarkable. The pollination pattern of the trees is monophasic, and the grasses have a biphasic pattern. The trends indicate that the total pollen and tree pollen do not present a time trend that is statistically significant throughout the period of the study, whereas the grass pollen and weed pollen concentrations in the environment present a statistically significant decreasing trend. The cause of this decrease is unclear. The pollen load has doubled over the past decade. When the observed concentrations of the pollens were compared with the corresponding threshold levels, the results indicated that over the period of the study, the pollen concentrations were at moderate, high and very high levels for an average of 293 days per year. Systematic counts of the pollen grains are an essential method for diagnosing and treating patients with pollinosis and for developing forestation and urban planning strategies.

RESUMO

The activation domain of class I aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases, which contains the Rossmann fold and the signature sequences HIGH and KMSKS, is generally split into two halves by the connective peptides (CP1, CP2) whose amino acid sequences are idiosyncratic. CP1 has been shown to participate in the binding of tRNA as well as the editing of the reaction intermediate aminoacyl-AMP or the aminoacyl-tRNA. No function has been assigned to CP2. The amino acid sequence of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans TrpRS was predicted from the genome sequence. Protein sequence alignments revealed that A. ferrooxidans TrpRS contains a 70 amino acids long CP2 that is not found in any other bacterial TrpRS. However, a CP2 in the same relative position was found in the predicted sequence of several archaeal TrpRSs. A. ferrooxidans TrpRS is functional in vivo in Escherichia coli. A deletion mutant of A. ferrooxidans trpS lacking the coding region of CP2 was constructed. The in vivo activity of the mutant TrpRS in E. coli, as well as the kinetic parameters of the in vitro activation of tryptophan by ATP, were not altered by the deletion. However, the K(m) value for tRNA was seven-fold higher upon deletion, reducing the efficiency of aminoacylation. Structural modeling suggests that CP2 binds to the inner corner of the L shape of tRNA.

RESUMO

Introducción. Se ha propuesto que la presión financiera de los hospitales para reducir costes ha forzado a los médicos a acortar las estancias, de forma que los resultados a largo plazo podrían verse comprometidos por cambios tan sutiles, como por ejemplo haciendo una cirugía menos extensa. Objetivo. El objetivo principal del presente trabajo fue definir los factores peroperatorios que afectan de forma significativa la estancia media y valorar si la duración de la estancia hospitalaria de los pacientes intervenidos de cáncer colorrectal (CCR) se asocia con el pronóstico. Pacientes. En los últimos 8 años fueron intervenidos en nuestro hospital un total de 215 pacientes por CCR La estancia hospitalaria mediana de los pacientes fue de 13,9 días (rango, 3-52). Tras agrupar a los pacientes según la estancia hospitalaria fuera menor o mayor que la mediana, el 60 por ciento de éstos (n = 129) tuvieron un ingreso inferior a la mediana y el 40 por ciento (n = 86) igual o superior. Resultados. Al comparar dichos grupos en el estudio multivariante, sólo evidenciaron significación estadística la menor frecuencia de infección de la herida quirúrgica (p < 0,001) y de abscesos intraabdominales (p < 0,05) en los pacientes con estancias más cortas. Los pacientes con menor estancia presentaron una supervivencia más larga (el 66 por ciento a los 5 años con una mediana de 90 meses frente al 42 por ciento con una mediana de 60 meses) (test de rangos logarítmicos, p < 0,05).Sin embargo, la estancia no fue un factor independiente en la regresión de Cox, donde únicamente evidenció significación la presencia de metástasis ganglionar (p < 0,05). Los pacientes con estancia menor presentaron una supervivencia libre de enfermedad a los 5 años del 55 por ciento con una mediana de 79 meses frente al 38 por ciento con mediana de 49 meses en los de mayor estancia, pero sin alcanzar significación estadística. Conclusión. Los pacientes intervenidos de CCR con estancias más largas presentan mayor frecuencia de infección de la herida quirúrgica y de abscesos intraabdominales. Una estancia hospitalaria más corta no afecta de forma negativa en la supervivencia ni en la misma libre de enfermedad. (AU)
