Infección por el virus de la hepatitis C y nuevas estrategias de tratamiento

Hepatitis C is a major public health problem worldwide. This disease is caused by the hepatitis C virus, which is characterised by its genetic diversity. The infection is usually asymptomatic. However, between 60% and 80% of HCV-infected individuals will progress to chronic hepatitis, 20% to liver cirrhosis in the medium-to long-term and, each year, between 1% and 4% of these patients with cirrhosis will develop hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A Spanish consensus document has recently been drafted to diagnose hepatitis C in a single step, consisting of active investigation (antibodies and viremia) in a single sample, which according to the experts, would reduce the time to access treatment and avoid tracking losses. To definitively change the hepatitis C treatment paradigm, direct-acting antiviral drugs (DAAs) have been approved, whose development has been based on achieving cure rates close to 100% regardless of the genotype of the virus, ie, pangenotypes, with good tolerance and bioavailability. These drugs have constituted a real therapeutic revolution. Supplement information: This article is part of a supplement entitled «SEIMC External Quality Control Programme.

Everyday footwear: An overview of what we know and what we should know on ill-fitting footwear and associated pain and pathology

Footwear has been used to protect feet for millennia with socially exclusive population adopting stylish and fashionable shoes with expensive materials. In terms of historic timeline, only more recently footwear has been worn by all classes in the western world as an integral part of their apparel. Traditionally, footwear has been constructed from natural materials, mainly leather, but has recently benefitted from the flexibility that technology has provided with a plethora materials and new design innovations. Although it has expanded the availability for a variety of consumers, the choice and fit continue to be problematic with many individuals wearing shoes that are ill-fitting. Provision of specific footwear advice for problem feet is poorly evidenced and is heavily practitioner dependant limiting its efficacy. There is limited understanding as to the changes that can occur from regularly wearing footwear that is unsuitable in shape, style and construction which is referred to as ill-fitting. Current research on the effect that everyday footwear has on foot function and pain focuses mainly on women’s shoes, particularly high heels. Defining what is a good fitting shoe, that does not damage the foot or mechanics of walking, may need to be individualised, but best fit is based on loose historical parameters rather than research evidence. The aim of this overview is to highlight aspects of current research, establishing what is known about the effect’s shoes have on the feet as well as exploring the mythology around footwear fit and advice that is often historical in nature.     

Association of genetic variants at MYP10 and MYP15 with high myopia in a Han Chinese population

Background: Previous genome-wide association study (GWAS) has revealed the association between MYP10 at 8p23 and MYP15 at 10q21.1 and high myopia (HM) in a French population. This study is managed to discover the connection between some single nucleotide polymorphism (located at MYP10 and MYP15) and Han Chinese HM.

Methods and Results: This case-control association study contained 1673 samples, including 869 ophthalmic patients and 804 controls. Twelve tag SNPs have been selected from the MYP10 and MYP15 loci and genotyped by SNaPshot method. Among 12 SNPs, rs4840437 and rs6989782 in TNKS gene were found significant association with HM. Carriers of rs4840437G allele and rs4840437GG genotype created a low risk of high myopia (P = .036, OR = 0.81, 95%CI = 0.71–0.93; P = .016, OR = 0.73, 95%CI = 0.56–0.96; respectively). Carriers of rs6989782T allele and rs6989782TT+CT genotype also had a decreased risk of high myopia (P = .048, OR = 0.82, 95%CI = 0.71–0.94; P = .006, OR = 0.74, 95%CI = 0.59–0.92; respectively). Other 10 SNPs displaced nonsignificant association with HM. Additionally, the risk haplotype AC and the protective haplotype GT, generated by two SNPs in TNKS, were considerably more likely to be association with HM (for AC, P = .002 and OR = 1.26; for GT, P = .027 and OR = 0.84).

Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that some heritable variants in the TNKS gene are associated with HM in the Han population. The possible functions of TNKS in the development and pathogenesis of hereditary high myopia still require further researches to identify.     

灯盏乙素介入IP3R-Ca2+途径抑制β淀粉样蛋白诱导的神经细胞凋亡

目的：观察灯盏乙素（Scu）对β淀粉样蛋白（Aβ）诱导的细胞模型中1，4，5-三磷酸肌醇受体（IP₃R）-Ca²⁺途径的影响，探讨其在阿尔茨海默病（AD）病程中可能发挥的积极作用。方法：选用神经母细胞瘤细胞分为对照组、Scu处理组、Aβ处理组、Aβ+Scu （高、中、低）处理组及Aβ+IP₃R拮抗剂组，用CCK-8法筛选药物浓度并检测各组细胞生存率；用酶联免疫吸附法检测各组细胞中1，4，5-三磷酸肌醇（IP₃）的含量；用蛋白印迹和实时荧光定量聚合酶链反应方法检测各组细胞IP₃R和凋亡相关因子Caspase-3、Bcl-2、Bax的蛋白及mRNA的表达水平；用激光共聚焦显微镜观察各组细胞内Ca²⁺浓度的变化；用AnnexinV/PI双染法测定各组细胞的凋亡率。结果：与对照组和Scu处理组相比，Aβ处理组细胞存活率下降，IP₃含量升高，IP₃R、Bax和Caspase-3的蛋白及mRNA表达上调，Bcl-2蛋白及mRNA的表达下调，细胞胞浆内Ca²⁺浓度及细胞凋亡率升高；Aβ+Scu处理组细胞中各检测指标的变化与Aβ处理组的结果正好相反，IP₃R通道下游指标的变化与Aβ+IP₃R拮抗剂组基本一致。结论：Scu能够下调通路蛋白IP₃、IP₃R的表达，抑制Aβ介导的Ca²⁺内流所致的细胞凋亡，可能通过对IP₃R-Ca²⁺途径的调控来影响AD病程。     

The relationships among monocyte subsets,miRNAs and inflammatory cytokines in patients with acute myocardial infarction

Background

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) causes irreversible myocardial damage and release of inflammatory mediators, including cytokines, chemokines and miRNAs. We aimed to investigate changes in the levels of cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α and IL-10), miRNAs profiles (miR-146 and miR-155) and distribution of different monocyte subsets (CD14++CD16-, CD14++CD16+, CD14+CD16++) in the acute and post-healing phases of AMI.
