The Emotional Re-Experiencing of the Hortatory Narratives Found in the Admonition of the Damascus Document
Authors: Harkins Angela Kim
Published: November 2015

This article proposes that the emotional re-experiencing of the hortatory narratives found in the Admonition section of the Damascus Document (cols. 1–8; 19–20) may have been instrumental in preparing the community for an optimal reception of the laws that follow. The sectarian’s imaginative and egocentric re-enactment of the negatively valenced emotions in these vignettes could have made foundational events of covenant re-making accessible with the vividness of first-hand experiences. The generation of self-diminishment that arises from re-experiencing these negative emotions could have staged an experience of God’s immediacy, thereby replicating the conditions of divine encounter associated with the covenantal reception of laws.

Authors: Toumi H. , Bejaoui M. , Boumaiza M.
Published: November 2015

In the present study, we investigated cyclomorphosis in two cladocerans,DaphniamagnaandCeriodaphnia reticulata, sampled from northern Tunisian groundwater (wells) during two seasons (spring and summer). Seasonal distribution of the two species was apparent, with dominance ofD. magnaonly in spring andC. reticulataduring the whole study period. Our results showed correlations between caudal spine length ofD. magnaand water temperature (, ), and between caudal spine length and the density of coleopteran larvae (Stictonectes escheri,Graptodytessp.,Gyrinus urinator, andHaliplus lineaticollis) (, ). InC. reticulata, we registered a correlation (, ) only between its size and the density of larvae of Ephemeroptera (Cloeon cognatum) but no correlation with water temperature was found.
One new species of a new genus, Kuwaitupogebia gen. nov., in a new family, Kuwaitupogebiidae fam. nov., from Kuwait, and two new species of the genus Upogebia from the Red Sea (Decapoda, Thalassinidea)

The infraorder Thalassinidea Latreille, 1831 [sensu stricto] includes three families: Thalassinidae Latreille, 1831; Upogebiidae Borradaile, 1903; and Laomediidae De Haan, 1849 (cf. Sakai & Sawada, 2006). However, recent examination of material from Kuwait in the Pershian Gulf, showed the occurence of a new species,Kuwaitupogebia nithyanandangen. et sp. nov., and this has made it possible to establish a new family, Kuwaitupogebiidae fam. nov., based on that new genus. The genusUpogebiaLeach, 1814 is known to include nine species from the Red Sea area, yet herein two new species,Upogebiaspongicolasp. nov. from the Reef at Hurghada, Red Sea, Egypt, andUpogebia jizanensissp. nov. from off Jizan, Saudi Arabia, Red Sea, can be added, based on material lodged in the collections of the museum in Frankfurt a.

Published: November 2015

Two full-length cDNA sequences of14-3-3genes were isolated from the mud crab,Scylla paramamosainEstampador, 1949, using RT-PCR and RACE (rapid-amplification of cDNA ends). Sequence analysis indicates that both14-3-3genes contain an open reading frame of 744 bp with a deduced 247-amino-acid protein. The gene and protein sequences of Sp14-3-3genes show 96 and 97% identity, respectively, and both Sp14-3-3cluster together with other animal 14-3-3 proteins in phylogenetic tree analysis. Tissue specific expression analysis reveals that both Sp14-3-3genes are ubiquitously expressed, however, their expression patterns are different from each other. Expressions of both Sp14-3-3genes are sensitive to salinity decrease, even a 5 ppt drop from 30 ppt to 25 ppt, indicating that Sp14-3-3genes are involved in osmoregulation. Our observations may contribute to a better understanding of the molecular and functional evolution of the14-3-3family in both crustaceans and (in)vertebrates as a whole.
The Politics of Contextualism
Authors: Koikkalainen Petri
Published: November 2015

A central purpose of historicist contextualism, or the “new history of political thought”, the central methodological ideas of which were laid out between the 1950s and the 70s, was to liberate the history of ideas from distorting influence of political ideology, nationalism, and other presentist narratives that ascribed past events under false teleologies. From the 1980s onwards, it has been possible to find explicitly normative statements in the works of the leading contextualist historians and scholars influenced by their work, for example, Skinner’s defences of neo-Roman republicanism. This article examines the normative content of contextualism. Instead of arguing that the normative aspect was a novelty introduced after the 1980s, the claim here is that contextualist theorising was socially and politically implicated and arguably normative from its very beginning. To substantiate this, the article offers an interpretation of the normativity of early contextualism based on its relationship towards broader socio-political themes such as ideology, agency, emancipation, progress, and societies’ relationship with their pasts. Early contextualist normativity assumed that the professional research of history would be a suitable and sufficient way of generating also socially desirable outcomes. Later, as the political and academic background conditions changed, this normativity was given more explicit (e.g. republican) formulations in order to keep up its political relevance.
Carex huangshanica (sect. Rhomboidales, Cyperaceae), a new species from Anhui, eastern China
Authors: CHEN WEI-JIE , Jin Xiao-Feng
Published: November 2015

Carex huangshanica X. F. Jin & W. J. Chen, a new species from Anhui Province of eastern China, is described and illustrated. It belongs to Carex sect. Rhomboidales and resembles C. longirostrata in having perigynia gradually contracted into a long beak at apex; orifice 2-lobed with long teeth; achenes abruptly contracted into a beak at apex. It differs from C. longirostrata in having upper spikes aggregated, pistillate scales shortly awned at apex, perigynia nearly glabrous, and achenes ovoid. Micromorphological characters of the perigynia and achenes under scanning electron microscope are compared between the new species and C. longirostrata. Carex huangshanica has glabrous perigynia (vs. pubescent perigynia in C. longirostrata), achenes abruptly contracted in a short curved beak at apex, and only one silica body is present in each epidermal cell (vs. achenes of C. longirostrat that are contracted in a short coiled beak at apex, and without silica body in epidermal cells).
Does the NMME Capture a Recent Decadal Shift toward Increasing Drought Occurrence in the Southwestern United States?
Authors: Barnston Anthony G. , Lyon Bradfield
Published: November 2015

A global-scale decadal climate shift, beginning in 1998/99 and enduring through 2013, has been documented in recent studies, with associated precipitation shifts in key regions throughout the world. These precipitation shifts are most easily detected during March–May when ENSO effects are weak. Analyses have linked this climate shift to a shift in the Pacific decadal variability (PDV) pattern to its negative phase. Here the authors evaluate the predictive skill of the North American Multimodel Ensemble (NMME), and the CFSv2 model alone, in maintaining the observed precipitation shifts in seasonal forecasts, emphasizing the southwestern United States where deficient precipitation has tended to prevail since the late 1990s.

The NMME hindcasts out to 6 months lead are found to maintain the observed decadal precipitation shifts in key locations qualitatively correctly, but with increasingly underestimated amplitude with increasing lead time. This finding holds in the separate CFSv2 model hindcasts. The decadal precipitation shift is relatively well reproduced in the southwestern United States. The general underestimation of the precipitation shift is suggested to be related to a muted reproduction of the observed shift in Pacific sea surface temperature (SST). This conclusion is supported by runs from a different (but overlapping) set of atmospheric models, which when forced with observed SST reproduce the decadal shifts quite well. Overall, the capability of the NMME model hindcasts to reflect the observed decadal rainfall pattern shift, but with weakened amplitude (especially at longer leads), underscores the broader challenge of retaining decadal signals in predictions of droughts and pluvials at seasonal-to-interannual time scales.
The target orientation of the multivariate analysis using algebraic model of constructive logic
Authors: Fedorov S. , Kitanina K. , Khromushin V. , Khromushin O.
Published: November 2015

Multivariate analysis, including algebraic model of constructive logic, is often used in medical practice and biological research. To carry out such studies, it is necessary a array of source information (analyzed cases) and purpose, which is most often selected one of the values of the factors. At the same time, in the practice of analytical calculations there are cases when the target value cannot be set explicitly. The aim of this work is to provide a method of calculating target values for specific cases of morbidity and mortality.

The proposed method is based on counting the number of instances of each value of each factor and their share in the total number of cases. The product of the assessed values of each involved factor, compared with the set of the threshold value, determines a value corresponding to the achievement of the goal. To confirm the proposed method on the array of 208269 deaths, the authors built a mathematical model using algebraic model of constructive logic. Evaluation of a mathematical model confirmed the performance of the proposed method of calculating the target value, since the simulation results are most consistent with known estimates obtained by other methods.

Authors: Mirghasemi S. A. , Rashidinia S. , Sadeghi M. S. , Talebizadeh M. , Rahimi N.
Published: November 2015

Objectives

There are various pin-in-plaster methods for treating fractures of the distal radius. The purpose of this study is to introduce a modified technique of ‘pin in plaster’.

Methods

Fifty-four patients with fractures of the distal radius were followed for one year post-operatively. Patients were excluded if they had type B fractures according to AO classification, multiple injuries or pathological fractures, and were treated more than seven days after injury. Range of movement and functional results were evaluated at three and six months and one and two years post-operatively. Radiographic parameters including radial inclination, tilt, and height, were measured pre- and post-operatively.

Results

The average radial tilt was 10.6° of volar flexion and radial height was 10.2 mm at the sixth month post-operatively. Three cases of pin tract infection were recorded, all of which were treated successfully with oral antibiotics. There were no cases of pin loosening. A total of 73 patients underwent surgery, and three cases of radial nerve irritation were recorded at the time of cast removal. All radial nerve palsies resolved at the six-month follow-up. There were no cases of median nerve compression or carpal tunnel syndrome, and no cases of tendon injury.

Conclusion

Our modified technique is effective to restore anatomic congruity and maintain reduction in fractures of the distal radius. Cite this article: Bone Joint Res 2015;4:176–180

The Impact of Female Education on Teenage Fertility: Evidence from Turkey
Authors: Güneş Pınar Mine
Published: November 2015

This paper explores the causal relationship between female education and teenage fertility by exploiting a change in the compulsory schooling law (CSL) in Turkey. Using variation in the exposure to the CSL across cohorts and variation across provinces by the intensity of additional classrooms constructed in the birth provinces as an instrumental variable, the results indicate that primary school completion reduces teenage fertility by 0.37 births and the incidence of teenage childbearing by around 28 percentage points. Exploring heterogeneous effects indicates that female education reduces teenage fertility more in provinces with lower population density and higher agricultural activity. This paper also disentangles intensive- and extensive-margin effects and explores various channels, such as postponing marriage and contraceptive use, linking education and fertility. Finally, this paper demonstrates that there are additional social benefits of education in terms of child health.
Invariant torsion and G2-metrics
Authors: Conti Diego , Madsen Thomas Bruun
Published: November 2015

We introduce and study a notion of invariant intrinsic torsion geometrywhich appears, for instance,
in connection with the Bryant-Salamon metric on the spinor bundle over S3. This space is foliated by sixdimensional
hypersurfaces, each of which carries a particular type of SO(3)-structure; the intrinsic torsion
is invariant under SO(3). The last condition is sufficient to imply local homogeneity of such geometries, and
this allows us to give a classification. We close the circle by showing that the Bryant-Salamon metric is the
unique complete metric with holonomy G2 that arises from SO(3)-structures with invariant intrinsic torsion.

Masculinity, Moral Agency, and Memory: The Spirit of the Deity in Judges, Samuel, and Beyond
Authors: Murphy Kelly J.
Published: November 2015

“Masculinity, Moral Agency, and Memory: The Spirit of the Deity in Judges, Samuel, and Beyond” examines the use of the “spirit of Yahweh/Elohim” in Judges and 1–2Samuel as it relates to questions of masculinity, moral agency, and memory. The article argues that the presence of the “spirit” stories in the narratives of the so-called judges and the figures of Saul/David reflect different conceptions of ancient masculinities, and sometimes function to challenge the masculine ideals of earlier memories from ancient Israel in order to pave the way for the institution of monarchy in the final form of the texts. Additionally, the article examines later interpretations of the stories and how they have been interpreted and used to promote certain contemporary ideas about masculinity while also often ignoring the troubling implications about moral agency vis-a-vis the way that the “spirit of Yahweh/Elohim” functions in the narratives.

The Knobe Effect, Indifference, and Constitutional Law
Authors: Cohen-Eliya Moshe , Porat Iddo
Published: November 2015

Some constitutional accounts, in particular in the U.S., emphasize government attitudes to harming rights. Up till now, such accounts have primarily concentrated on intention to harm rights and on government acts of illicit intentions. However, such accounts have neglected a large scope of government attitudes that indicate indifference to harming rights rather than intention. In our article we use insights from experimental philosophy to develop an account of the role of indifference in constitutional law. We propose that the results of the Knobe Effect experiment show that the correlation between intent and indifference can be explained by the idea that indifference shows a lack of respect for the value or for the person harmed. Indifference, therefore, manifests a similar wrongness in terms of moral attitude as intent. The implications in terms of constitutional law are substantial. In principle, government actions manifesting indifference toward harming rights should be reviewed on the same lines as government actions based on intention to harm rights.
Moral Resources, Political Capital and the Development of Environmental Protection Organizations in China: A Case Study of City J
Authors: Xu Ying , Wong-Kim Evaon C.
Published: November 2015

This article combines the moral resources and political capital perspective with the theoretical arguments of guanxi and resource dependence theory to explore the strengths and weaknesses of both the Chinese government-organized and the grassroots environmental protection organizations (ENPOs). Qualitative methods were applied in this study, and the impact of these two entities on environmental protection was also analyzed. The findings mainly include: First, the ascribed political capital can ensure good guanxi with governmental departments, and thus improve an NPO’s opportunities to receive resources. Second, although the ascribed political capital enables government-organized ENPOs to run smoothly, their transparency and management need to be improved. Third, though grassroots ENPOs have little of political capital, they possess advantages in terms of the self-chosen moral resource, which can help them become relatively independent from the government and assume responsibility for monitoring the environment. The article concludes with a discussion of implications for policy highlighted by the findings.
Analytical microscopy of iron-based superconducting materials
Authors: Speller S.C. , Mousavi T. , Dudin P.
Published: November 2015

Inhomogeneity and phase separation in unconventional superconducting materials is a topic of increasing interest, as the competition between phases with different types of ordering is thought to play an important role in the emergence of the high temperature superconducting state. A wide range of experimental techniques are available for investigating the crystallography of these complex materials, however the majority are bulk probes. Here we briefly review some spatially resolved techniques that are being used to investigate phase separation in ironbased superconductors, with a focus on analytic Scanning Electron Microscopy techniques and synchrotron-based Photoelectron Microscopy.
When the intrinsic algebraic entropy is not really intrinsic
Authors: Goldsmith Brendan , Salce Luigi
Published: November 2015

The intrinsic algebraic entropy ent(ɸ) of an endomorphism ɸ of an Abelian group G can be computed using fully inert subgroups of ɸ-invariant sections of G, instead of the whole family of ɸ-inert subgroups. For a class of groups containing the groups of finite rank, aswell as those groupswhich are trajectories of finitely generated subgroups, it is proved that only fully inert subgroups of the group itself are needed to comput ent(ɸ). Examples show how the situation may be quite different outside of this class.

Nous nous intéresserons ici à la fortune littéraire de Baudelaire au Québec en faisant ressortir l’influence décisive qu’il aura exercée sur trois de nos grands poètes. Saint-Denys Garneau, Anne Hébert et Jacques Brault ont en commun d’avoir fait la connaissance de l’auteur des Fleurs du mal dans leurs années de formation et de n’avoir cessé par la suite de fréquenter ses écrits. Il importe de marquer l’ascendant exercé par celui qui fut pour eux un éclaireur, pour mieux comprendre l’idée de modernité et ses manifestations littéraires au Canada français, dans la mesure où ces poètes sont devenus eux-mêmes des « phares » de la poésie québécoise.
The iIllegal Immigration Law: A Regime of Law, Discourses, and Police Practices
Authors: Fabini Giulia
Published: November 2015

The article reflects on three levels of illegality embedded in the immigration control regime in Italy: the illegality of the law, the discourse on illegal immigrants, and the non–legal space of police practices. The illegality of the regime does not emerge from one level or the other, but from the complex relationships among them: the Italian immigration law is an illegal one, and it founds its legitimacy on discourses claiming about the illegality of undocumented immigrants; police practices occur in a non-legal space, and it is the law itself that sets the boundaries of that space. Through history of the law, analyses of the discourses, and one case study I made about the interaction between undocumented immigrants and police officers in Bologna (Italy), I argue that we need focus on the links among the three levels, in order to effectively address the illegality of the regime. However, the link between police practices and legal discourses turns out to be especially very problematic, and raises the question about how to use empirical research to undermine the legitimacy of the illegal immigration control regime.

Indigenous Children’s Right to Learn Their Mother Tongue at School: Implementation and Realization in Russia
Authors: Zmyvalova Ekaterina Andreyevna
Published: November 2015

According to official statistics, there are decreasing numbers of Nenets people – the largest group of indigenous small-numbered people in Russia – who know their native language. Moreover, it is mostly elderly people who know the language. Even though children learn the Nenets language at school, they do not know it properly. This is especially true in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug in northwest Russia. In the eight-year period between the population censuses of 2002 and 2010, the number of Nenets speakers in this area decreased threefold. While many factors have contributed to this decline, this article focuses on the legal issues that have impacted the situation. Particular emphasis is given to the inadequate implementation into national legislation of international commitments that guarantee the right of indigenous children to learn their mother tongue at school and the ineffective realization of legal commitments of national legislation concerning this right. This article examines how sources of law concerning indigenous children’s right to learn their mother tongue are implemented and realized in Russia. The focus is on the Nenets Autonomous Okrug.(Published: 6 November 2015)Citation: E. A.

Authors: Toledo José , Cubillo Gabriel , Gómez Oscar
Published: November 2015

Antecedentes: Desde hace más de dos décadas se reportan observaciones que plantean que la obesidad se asocia a la presencia de infecciones. Sin embargo, los diferentes hallazgos han sido contradictorios y la dirección de la posible asociación no ha sido clarificada. En nuestro país no se encontraron trabajos al respecto que contribuyan a aclarar esta pregunta.

Métodos: se realizó una serie de casos retrospectivo (N= 4840 con muestreo por conglomerados n= 100), evaluando Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC) e infección por Helicobacter pylori, Strepto- coccus β Hemolítico, Infección Urinaria (IVU) y Vaginosis. Se obtuvieron estadísticos descriptivos y se realizaron cruces de variables para obtener OR.

Resultados: 85% sexo femenino, procedentes de la zona andina en un 77% que consultan en su mayoría para lipólisis laser, IMC: 32 (DS 5,4), la relación entre infección y obesidad fue: IVU OR 1,4 (IC 1,02-3,62), (p:0,042), VAGINITIS: OR 1,4 (IC: 1,09-3,019), (p:0,028), Helicobacter pylori: Pearson 0,25 (p:0,064) y Streptocccus: 0,56 (p:0.046).

Conclusiones: La presencia de infección Urinaria y la vaginitis se asocian a la obesidad. Estos hallazgos confirman previos estudios, se discuten las implicaciones de los mismos.

La Teoría de la Acción Razonada (TAR) ha permitido identificar las variables que predicen la intención de los y las adolescentes para comenzar a tener relaciones sexuales, y se ha demostrado que la inclusión de la variable norma moral incrementa el poder explicativo de la TAR para las adolescentes mujeres, pero no se había establecido si ésto aplica a los hombres. Es por ello que este estudio pretendió, en primera instancia, corroborar la consistencia de la TAR y la inclusión de la variable norma moral, para predecir la intención de los y las adolescentes para iniciar sus relaciones sexuales, así como establecer si las variables que predicen la intención son las mismas para ambos sexos. Se tomó una muestra de 355 estudiantes voluntarios de tres colegios privados de Bogotá, Colombia, militar (33,5%), laico (32,7%) y religioso (33,8%). Del total de la muestra el 52% fueron hombres y 48% mujeres. El 41% pertenecían al 9º grado, 42% a 10º grado y 17% al grado 11. La edad promedio fue 15,33 años (DT = 1,03). Se les aplicó un cuestionario estructurado de autoinforme con 136 preguntas, previo consentimiento informado pasivo escrito de sus padres de familia. Para este artículo solamente se tuvieron en cuenta las variables: actitudes hacia las relaciones sexuales en la adolescencia, norma moral, norma social subjetiva (norma de padre y amigos) e intención de tener relaciones sexuales. Con el análisis de regresión múltiple se confirmó que la variable norma moral mejora el poder predictivo de la TAR para predecir la intención para iniciar a tener relaciones sexuales en la adolescencia, que la norma social subjetiva de los amigos es determinante en la intención de los hombres, mientras que para las mujeres es la norma social subjetiva de los padres. Los hallazgos son determinantes para el diseño de estrategias que permitan prevenir el embarazo adolescente.

Introducción: Dentro del espectro de las enfermedades cardiovasculares, la enfermedad isquémica del corazón se encuentra dentro de las dos patologías con mayor tasa de discapacidad y mortalidad. La Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 es uno de los factores asociados a peor pronóstico en sujetos con esta enfermedad. Hoy en día se conoce que sobre el miocardio en isquemia, la hiperglicemia aumenta el estrés oxidativo, la hipoxia y por ende su necrosis. Objetivo: Establecer si existe una relación entre los niveles de hemoglobina glicosilada de pacientes diabéticos tipo 2 con un primer infarto agudo de miocardio y la función del ventrículo izquierdo intrahospitalaria, medida por la fracción de eyección. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio observacional en el que se realizó la caracterización de 36 pacientes con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 y un primer episodio de IAM hospitalizados en el Hospital Militar Central. Resultados: Con el test de exactitud de Fischer se obtuvo que los pacientes diabéticos tipo 2 con primer infarto agudo de miocardio y valores de hemoglobina glicosilada por encima de 8,5% presentaron una tendencia a tener fracciones de eyección por debajo de 50% (P= 0,019). Conclusiones: Se necesitan más estudios en los que se evalúen poblaciones más grandes de pacientes para lograr representar todo el espectro de valores de hemoglobina glicosilada y con ello, establecer un punto de corte más exacto a partir del cual sea válido sospechar una disminución de la función ventricular izquierda en el escenario de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 y un primer infarto agudo de miocardio.

Published: November 2015

La importancia de la Epo como hormona central en los procesos de ambientación a la altura es clara dado su efecto estimulante sobre la producción  eritrocitaria. Su naturaleza hormonal ha llevado a que algunas investigaciones evalúen su circadianidad con reportes no contundentes e inclusive contradictorios al respecto. Objetivo: Analizar la circadianidad de la Epo en sujetos que realizan entrenamiento aeróbico en la altura intermedia (2600 msnm) comparando diferencias entre hombres y mujeres. Materiales y métodos: Se reclutaron residentes a la altura intermedia de por lo menos 18 meses, de ambos sexos y que tuvieran entrenamiento aeróbico al menos durante 8 meses previos a la realización del estudio para medir su Epo cada 4 horas durante 24 horas y correlacionarla con algunas variables fisiológicas y ambientales. Resultados: Existe comportamiento circadiano en la Epo tanto para hombres como para mujeres, con un mesor para hombres de 20:10 h y 16:33 h para mujeres. En cuanto a la acrofase, esta se presenta hacia las 17:52 h para hombres y a las 15:50 h para las mujeres. El análisis de diferencia de medias muestra una diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre los dos grupos Conclusión: Existe circadianidad diferencial entre hombres y mujeres en cuanto a sus niveles de Epo, la cual es independiente de variables fisiológicas y ambientales. Tema: Ritmo circadiano. Subtema: Eritropoyetina.

Al momento del nacimiento se encontró que al 98.8% de los recién nacidos se les colocó brazalete de identificación, también al 98,4% de los RN se les aplicó las vacunas (BCG, anti-hepatitis B), en el 83,9% de los partos se realizó un pinzamiento tardío del cordón umbilical; al 99,6% profilaxis ocular, 99,7% profilaxis muñón umbilical. Al control del tercer día se observó que el 13,4% de los recién nacidos presentaron ictericia, el 3,8% presentaron anormalidades al examen físico siendo la conjuntivitis la más frecuente con un 0,7% y el 90,1% asistieron a este control. Conclusiones: En los hallazgos de esta investigación se concluye que en los cuidados que se le brinda a esta población, se cumplen los parámetros establecidos por la Resolución 0412 del Ministerio de la Protección Social de la República de Colombia.
Oxígeno hiperbárico en el manejo de radionecrosis del tallo cerebral en una paciente con méduloblastoma
Authors: Durán Pinilla Eduardo , Valderrama Serrano Germán , Buitrago Salinas Alejandro
Published: November 2015

La radionecrosis del tallo cerebral es una de las complicaciones de la radioterapia en pacientes que han recibido tratamiento para un tumor, y aunque afortunadamente no es lo más frecuente, sus consecuencias pueden ser devastadoras, pues la importancia del tejido comprometido hace que se generen lesiones que pueden producir secuelas altamente incapacitantes y hasta la muerte del paciente como en efecto sucedió en el presente caso. Según la FDA (Food and Drug Administration) el Oxígeno Hiperbárico (OHB) se encuentra indicado en la radionecrosis ósea y radionecrosis de tejidos blandos, incluyendo en esta última al sistema nervioso central. El caso reportado es el de una paciente de 28 años de edad, con un meduloblastoma de fosa posterior que fue tratado con cirugía y químio-radioterapia. 21 meses después del tratamiento inicial presenta síntomas que sugieren una lesión en el tallo cerebral, por lo que nuevamente consulta y posterior a estudios imagenológicos se logra determinar que se trata de una lesión del tallo cerebral por radionecrosis. En julio de 2011 la paciente ya presentaba disartria, bradilalia, lateropulsión izquierda, diplopía, cefalea, marcha atáxica y espasticidad simétrica con predominio del hemicuerpo izquierdo. Al momento de iniciar el tratamiento con OHB (septiembre de 2011), se encontró cuadriparesia no funcional. Se realizaron 6 sesiones con OHB, tratamiento con bevacizumab y corticoides, a pesar de lo cual, la evolución de la paciente fue tórpida y rápidamente fulminante llevándola a la muerte en menos de seis meses. La discusión que surge con este caso clínico, es si el tratamiento con OHB debería ser más enfocado a la prevención y profilaxis que al tratamiento de lesiones que por su ubicación anatómica revisten una alta gravedad y pueden ser irreversibles, una vez que se encuentran instauradas.

El objeto de este estudio fue identificar el estímulo eléctrico que debe aplicarse en cultivos celulares de osteoblastos (Ob) para aumentar la expresión del gen de Fosfatasa Alcalina (ALP) y el factor de transcripción Runx2. Se cultivaron Ob de la American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) Ref. CRL 11372. Los cultivos se estimularon del día cinco, cuando las células presentaron confluencia, hasta el día ocho. El estímulo aplicado a cada grupo experimental fue de 100mV, 200mV, 300mV, 400mV y 500mV respectivamente, se cultivó un grupo control no estimulado con cada grupo experimental. El campo eléctrico se generó con corriente alterna (AC) y se aplicó mediante dos placas de aluminio ubicadas de forma lateral y paralela a los frascos de cultivo de 25cm2. Los niveles de expresión de mRNA se midieron con la técnica quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT–PCR). Con la aplicación de campo generado con AC aumentó la expresión del factor de transcripción RunX2 en proporción directa al aumento del voltaje aplicado. La expresión del gen de ALP fue inversamente proporcional a la aplicación del estímulo y se identificó una diferencia significativa entre la presencia y ausencia del estímulo, siendo mayor en ausencia del estímulo. El campo eléctrico generó una señal que puede aumentar o disminuir la expresión de los genes que median la formación de tejido óseo. En el caso de Runx2, favoreció la diferenciación de células mesenquimales a Ob con la consecuente actividad de remodelación y formación del tejido óseo.
