Inhibitory effects of Spirulina in zymosan-induced arthritis in mice
No full textThe anti-inflammatory effect of microalgae Spirulina was studied in zymosan-induced arthritis in mice. Four days after the intra-articular injection of zymosan (15 mg/ml), Spirulina (100 and 400 mg/kg per-orally) was administered to animals for 8 days. The mice were than killed and β-glucuronidase was measured in the synovial fluid. Each knee joint was totally removed for histopathological studies. Spirulina significantly reduced the levels of β-glucuronidase that had been increased by zymosan. Histopathological and ultrastructural studies showed inhibition of the inflammatory reaction, whereas no destruction of cartilage, well-preserved chondrocytes, and normal rough endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria were seen. The anti-arthritic effect exerted by Spirulina as shown in this model may be at least partly due to the previously reported anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties of its constituent, phycocyanin. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the anti-inflammatory effect of Spirulina in an experimental model of arthritis

Graphics: Photographs (jpg) - 132.8K ABSTRACT A modified method for
processing plant tissue is proposed. The main changes are in the
prefixation, infiltration and embedding steps, using low vacuum in the
first one and a resin with low viscosity for the others. This method
allows us to obtain good results and a high percentage of
repetitiveness. Key words: low viscosity, repetitiveness, low vacuum,
embedding Resumen Se propone una metodologia para el estudio del tejido
vegetal, donde se introducen modificaciones fundamentales a las
tecnicas utilizadas anteriormente. Estas modificaciones consisten en el
uso de bajo vacio en el paso de prefijacion y en el uso de resina de
baja viscosidad en los pasos de infiltracion y de inclusion. Esta
metodologia permite lograr resultados de calidad satisfactoria con una
alta repetibilidad. Palabras claves: baja viscosidad, repetibilidad,

The New Normal in Education: A Challenge to the Private Basic Education Institutions in the Philippines?
No full textThis article aims to examine and discuss the challenges faced by the private basic education institutions in the Philippines as an effect of the Covid-19 pandemic. This pandemic has brought a dilemma to educational institutions especially when the government announced and ordered not to open face to face classes for Academic Year 2020 – 2021 until the Covid-19 vaccine. In response to this order, the Department of Education (DepEd) released department order nos. 007, 12, 13, and 14 series of 2020 instructing all basic education institutions to come up with their learning continuity plan (LCP) and health and safety protocols in the new normal in education during the pandemic. The bigger challenge is now passed on to the private basic education schools. Literature cited herein develop a framework as to the necessary measures every private basic education institutions must do in the re-opening of the schools. As there are limited studies written on the same nature, the author suggests a thorough study on the various facets of the online learning involving the children of the private basic education institutions
Efecto neuroprotector del péptido 6 liberador de la hormona del crecimiento (GHRP6) sobre el ganglio espiral. Estudio ultraestructural
No full textObjetivo: estudiar el efecto del GHRP6 sobre la ultraestructura de las neuronas y los procesos periféricos del
ganglio espiral en un modelo de ototoxicidad inducida por Kanamicina.
Material y Método: ratas machos Wistar, con audición normal, se dividieron en tres grupos. El grupo control,
otro grupo tratado con Kanamicina y un tercero con GHRP6 más Kanamicina. Las cócleas obtenidas se prefijaron
por perfusión en el canal perilinfático, con una mezcla de Paraformaldehido y Glutaraldehido después fueron
descalcificadas con EDTA y posteriormente procesadas para su estudio por Microscopia Electrónica de Trasmisión.
Resultados: las neuronas y procesos periféricos del ganglio espiral del grupo control presentaron características
normales. En el grupo de Kanamicina, encontramos alteraciones en las células y en los procesos periféricos. En
el grupo tratado con el GHRP6 la ultraestructura de las neuronas y de los procesos periféricos del ganglio espiral
mostraron mejor conservación.
Conclusiones: la preservación de la ultraestructura de las neuronas y los procesos periféricos del ganglio espiral
tratados con el GHRP6 nos induce a considerar el posible uso del mismo para incrementar los beneficios de los
implantes cocleares en individuos sordo
Tareas docentes con vinculación básico-clínica para el tema Ontogenia humana
No full textIntroduction: societies across the planet undergo profound
transformations and this requires new forms of education that
foster the skills that societies and economies need today and
tomorrow.
Objective: to describe the theoretical and methodological
foundations of the teaching task system with basic-clinical linkage
in the teaching process of human Ontogeny.
Development: a bibliographic review was carried out. The
teaching task was identified, as the basic element of the teachingeducational process and the elementary link that links the
activity of the teacher and that of the student, the fundamental
contradiction of the pedagogical process is presented, which
is established between the level of knowledge and skills of the
student and the level of requirements that are posed to solve the
task. In the medical career the system of teaching tasks is required
to motivate the student from the first year, starting from the basicclinical linkage, which allows to exercise the operational system
of skills and promote independent and team work, awaken the
student learning interest by linking it with real or simulated medical
practice, promoting participatory class with students active in the
classroom, and inducing the search for information to find the
solution to the problems posed.
Conclusions: a system of teaching tasks for human Ontogeny
with basic-clinical linkage will contribute to the improvement of the
teaching-learning process of the subject, this allows an adequate
treatment of the basic biomedical and clinical contents in the
medical careerIntroducción: las sociedades de todo el planeta experimentan
profundas transformaciones y ello exige nuevas formas de
educación que fomenten las competencias que las sociedades y las
economías necesitan hoy y mañana.
Objetivo: describir los fundamentos teóricos y metodológicos del
sistema de tareas docentes con vinculación básico-clínica en el
proceso enseñanza aprendizaje de Ontogenia humana.
Desarrollo: se realizó una revisión bibliográfica. Se identificó
la tarea docente, como el elemento básico del proceso docenteeducativo y el eslabón elemental que enlaza la actividad del
profesor y la del estudiante, se presenta la contradicción
fundamental del proceso pedagógico, que se establece entre el
nivel de conocimientos y habilidades del estudiante y el nivel
de exigencias que se le plantea para solucionar en la tarea. En
la carrera de Medicina se requiere el sistema de tareas docentes
dirigidas a motivar al estudiante desde primer año, a partir de
la vinculación básico-clínica, que permita ejercitar el sistema
operacional de las habilidades y propiciar el trabajo independiente
y en equipo, despertar el interés de aprendizaje de los estudiantes
al vincularlo con la práctica médica real o simulada, promover la
clase participativa con los estudiantes activos en el aula, e inducir
a la búsqueda de información para encontrar la solución a los
problemas planteados.
Conclusiones: un sistema de tareas docentes para
Ontogenia humana con vinculación básico-clínica tributará al
perfeccionamiento del proceso enseñanza aprendizaje del tema,
esto posibilita un adecuado tratamiento de los contenidos básicos
biomédicos y clínicos en la carrera de Medicina

No full textYouths on labour market.Features. Particularities. Pro-mobility factors for graduates. Elements of a balanced policy for labour migration
No full textThe youths’ labour market, and especially insertion employment has a series of particularities defined by aspects such as: flexibility, efficient employment, interest for career but also informal employment, external mobility, including brain drain, segmentation, employment precariousness, income disadvantages, etc. Therefore, also the labour market policy and particularly managing labour mobility especially through the economic and social effects that might be triggered on the local labour market in the origin country, presents a special importance under the conditions of the economic turnaround stage, by promoting new and sustainable jobs, based on knowledge and competences. In the present paper an analysis is made about the youths’ labour market features, and the outcomes of an empirical analysis about graduates’ migration propensity are presented. Suggestions are made for developing a balanced policy for youths’ labour mobility to the benefit of the country of origin.youth employment, labour force mobility, labour migration/mobility management

El desarrollo y seguimiento de las políticas para la educación y atención de la primera infancia en el contexto europeo
No full textEl presente artículo persigue revisar el mo do en que se desarrolló el derecho a una atención y educación de calidad durante la primera infancia a partir del análisis de las distintas políticas de educación y atención de la primera infancia (eapi) en los sistemas europeos, así como de su seguimiento, especialmente en los procesos de inclusión de los niños en situación de riesgo y exclusión social. Se concluye que la situación actual en materia de educación y atención de la primera infancia presenta rasgos diferenciales en la mayoría de países de la Unión Europea, es decir, se provee de muy diversas formas y desde argumentos muy dispares que no siempre se sitúan en el marco de los derechos de los niños más pequeños y, sin embargo, determinan el alcance de la equidad en la provisión de la eapi.This article has as purpose to examine the way in which the right for a quality attention and education for early childhood has developed based on an analysis of the different educational and early child care policies (educación y atención de la primera infancia, eapi) in the European systems, and also how it can be monitored, particularly in the inclusion processes for children in situation of risk and social exclusion. The author concludes that the current situation for what regards to education and early child care presents distinctive features in most of the countries of the European Union, this means that they deal with the problem in very different ways and with dissimilar arguments that do not always take into account the rights of the youngest although they determine the scope of equity in the eapi's supply
