A study of the hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase gene R453Q and 11 (beta)-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 gene 83557 ins a polymorphisms in the polycystic ovary syndrome.
No full textContext: The R453Q variant in the hexose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase gene (H6PD) and 83557insA mutations in 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (11βHSD) type 1 gene (HSD11B1) interact, resulting in cortisone reductase deficiency (CRD), a rare disorder characterized by a polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)-like phenotype.Objective: The objective was to study these mutations in PCOS.Design: The design was a case-control study.Setting: The study was conducted in an academic hospital.Participants: A total of 116 PCOS patients and 76 nonhyperandrogenic controls participated.Main Outcome Measures: Genotype distributions and influence ofgenotypes on clinical and biochemical variables and, in 28 patients and 12 controls, estimates of 11βHSD oxoreductase activity were the main outcome measures.Conclusions: Digenic triallelic genotypes of the H6PD R453Q variant and HSD11B1 83557insA mutation do not always cause CRD. On the contrary, the H6PD R453Q variant is associated with PCOS and might influence its phenotype by influencing adrenal activity
Biodiversity and biogeography of hydrothermal vent species: thirty years of discovery and investigations
No full textAuthor Posting. © Oceanography Society, 2007. This article is posted here by permission of Oceanography Society for personal use, not for redistribution. The definitive version was published in Oceanography 20, 1 (2007): 30-41.The discovery of hydrothermal vents and the unique, often endemic
fauna that inhabit them represents one of the most extraordinary
scientific discoveries of the latter twentieth century. Not surprisingly,
after just 30 years of study of these remarkable—and extremely
remote—systems, advances in understanding the animals and microbial
communities living around hydrothermal vents seem to
occur with every fresh expedition to the seafloor. On average, two
new species are described each month—a rate of discovery that has
been sustained over the past 25–30 years. Furthermore, the physical, geological, and
geochemical features of each part of the ridge system and its associated
hydrothermal-vent structures appear to dictate which novel
biological species can live where. Only 10 percent of the ridge
system has been explored for hydrothermal activity to date (Baker
and German, 2004), yet we find different diversity patterns in that
small fraction. While it is well known that species composition varies
along discrete segments of the global ridge system, this “biogeographic
puzzle” has more pieces missing than pieces in place.E. Ramirez-Llodra is supported by

Microvesicles from indoxyl sulfate-treated endothelial cells induce vascular calcification in vitro
No full textVascular calcification (VC), an unpredictable pathophysiological process and critical event in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), is the leading cause of morbi-mortality and disability in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients worldwide. Currently, no diagnostic method is available for identifying patients at risk of VC development; the pathology is detected when the process is irreversible. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) from endothelial cells might promote VC. Therefore, their evaluation and characterization could be useful for designing new diagnostic tools. The aim of the present study is to investigate whether microvesicles (MVs) from endothelial cells damaged by uremic toxin and indoxyl sulfate (IS) could induce calcification in human vascular smooth muscle cells (VMSCs). Besides, we have also analyzed the molecular mechanisms by which these endothelial MVs can promote VC development. Endothelial damage has been evaluated according to the percentage of senescence in endothelial cells, differential microRNAs in endothelial cells, and the amount of MVs released per cell. To identify the role of MVs in VC, VSMCs were treated with MVs from IS-treated endothelial cells. Calcium, inflammatory gene expression, and procalcification mediator levels in VSMCs were determined. IS-treated endothelial cells underwent senescence and exhibited modulated microRNA expression and an increase in the release of MVs. VSMCs exposed to these MVs modulated the expression of pro-inflammatory genes and some mediators involved in calcification progression. MVs produced by IS-treated endothelial cells promoted calcification in VSMCs

More than just a Green Façade: Vertical Gardens as Active Air Conditioning Units
No full textAbstractThis paper explores the potential of a vertical garden to function as an active evaporative cooling air conditioning unit. It builds on previous work by Davis, Ramirez and Vallejo [1]. This study shows the results of a full scale, building incorporated vertical garden that measured 1.5 m wide by 2.8 m high. Air flowed behind the garden substrate, where it was cooled and humidified as it flowed down the back of the garden through its contact with the humid surface. The experimental results were compared to the mathematical model developed by Davis and Hirmer [2]. Overall, it was suspected that variations in ambient temperatures during the measurements taking process had a major influence on the results. In taking the data considered most reliable into account however, the results of the mathematical model end experimental data were within 0.44°C. The results indicate that such gardens show great promise for building climate control, but where further research is needed in order to mitigate the influence of fluctuations in ambient temperatures
