Authors: Pérez González B. , Burillo P. , Sánchez Burón A. 
Published: April 2018

<p>Esta investigación analiza el trabajo que realizan las marcas deportivas para estar presentes en la mente del consumidor, midiendo la percepción de la Personalidad de Marca de algunas de las más importantes. Utilizando la versión adaptada al mercado español de la escala de Personalidad de Marca creada por Aaker en 1997, fueron medidas las percepciones de cuatro de las más importantes marcas de material deportivo presentes en el mercado mundial y particularmente en el español – Adidas, Nike, Puma y Decathlon-. El estudio se realizó con una muestra de 424 individuos que mayoritariamente eran practicantes de actividad física y deporte. Se midieron las diferencias existentes en función de si el encuestado practicaba habitualmente deporte, de la edad, del género o de si tenía licencia federativa. Para hacerlo se analizaron las diferencias por medio de la t de Student para muestras independientes entre dos grupos o el análisis de varianza (ANOVA) con prueba post-hoc de Schefé para comparaciones con más de dos grupos. Tener una Personalidad de Marca perfectamente deinida facilita la elección del consumidor, ayudando a la toma de decisiones en un entorno de sobreabundancia de información. Los resultados de nuestro estudio conirman que Adidas y Nike son las que obtienen mejores puntuaciones en todas las Dimensiones de Personalidad de Marca, principalmente entre los más jóvenes, que son justamente el grupo de edad al que suelen dirigir sus acciones de promoción. Por su parte, Decathlon, destaca por su buena valoración en la dimensión de Tranquilidad, un aspecto que puede resultar atractivo al creciente grupo de nuevos practicantes de actividad física.</p>

Published: April 2018

BackgroundIn China, there is insufficient evidence to support that screening programs can detect breast cancer earlier and improve outcomes compared with patient self-reporting. Therefore, we compared the pathological characteristics at diagnosis between self-detected and screen-detected cases of invasive breast cancer at our institution and determined whether these characteristics were different after the program’s introduction (vs. prior to).MethodsThree databases were selected (breast cancer diagnosed in 1995–2000, 2010, and 2015), which provided a total of 3,014 female patients with invasive breast cancer. The cases were divided into self-detected and screen-detected groups. The pathological characteristics were compared between the two groups and multiple imputation and complete randomized imputation were used to deal with missing data.ResultsCompared with patient self-reporting, screening was associated with the following factors: a higher percentage of stage T1 tumors (75.0% vs 17.1%,P= 0.109 in 1995–2000; 66.7% vs 40.4%,P< 0.001 in 2010; 67.8% vs 35.7%,P< 0.001 in 2015); a higher percentage of tumors with stage N0 lymph node status (67.3% vs. 48.4%,P= 0.007 in 2010); and a higher percentage of histologic grade I tumors (22.9% vs 13.9%,P= 0.017 in 2010).ConclusionScreen-detected breast cancer was associated with a greater number of favorable pathological characteristics. However, although screening had a beneficial role in early detection in China, we found fewer patients were detected by screening in this study compared with those in Western and Asian developed countries.

Nigeria lacks an equitable healthcare system. Low earnings characterize the income in rural areas where 55% of Nigerians who cannot afford basic medical care live. An organized rural medical and surgical outreach program can augment the formal healthcare system.

Objective:
To key into the International College of Surgeons Humanitarian Surgery Program by providing surgical specialists through collaboration to a sustainable free medical and surgical program.

Methodology:
International College of Surgeons (The Nigerian National Section), Imo State zone collaborated with Mbano National Assembly Inc. USA to do a Free Medical and Rural Surgical Outreach Mission at Mbano Joint Hospital March 14–18, 2016. Personnel to cover the clinical and nonclinical areas were recruited by the zonal branch of International College of Surgeons. Mbano National Assembly funded the project with $22,963.83.

Results:
Some 5028 patients attended. Of these, 2900 received attention, 800 medical, 512 surgical and urology, 262 obstetrics and gynecology, 270 pediatrics, 800 ophthalmic, and 500 received counseling, while 1500 received health education and 25, physiotherapy. Screening for prostate cancer was done for 146, 200 for human immunodeficiency virus and 110 for Hepatitis B virus. Surgical procedures on 88 patients, 1193 outpatient pharmacy dispensing, and 31 in-patients were recorded.

Conclusion:
Collaboration between sections of International College of Surgeons and non-governmental organizations already involved in rural free medical missions is feasible.

Disulfide‐Bridged Organosilica Frameworks: Designed, Synthesis, Redox‐Triggered Biodegradation, and Nanobiomedical Applications

Published: April 2018

AbstractOver the past few years, silica‐based nanotheranostics have demonstrated their great potential for nano/biomedical applications. However, the uncontrollable and difficult degradability of their pure silica framework and long‐time in vivo retention still cause severe and unpredictable toxicity risks. Therefore, it is highly desirable to design and synthesize materials with safer framework structures and compositions. To this aim, the introduction of disulfide bonds into the silica framework can not only maintain high stability in physiological conditions, but also achieve a stimuli‐responsive biodegradation triggered by intracellular reducing microenvironment in living cells, especially in cancer cells. Once nanotheranostics with disulfide (i.e., thioether)‐bridged silsesquioxane framework are taken up by tumor cells via passive or active targeting, the disulfide bonds in the hybrid silica matrix can be cleaved by a high concentration of intracellular glutathione, enabling redox‐triggered biodegradation of the nanosystems for both concomitant release of the loaded therapeutic cargo and in vivo clearance. It is envisioned that such hybrid materials comprised of disulfide‐bridged silsesquioxane frameworks can become promising responsive and biodegradable nanotheranostics. This review summarizes the recent advances in the synthesis of hybrid organosilicas with disulfide‐bridged silsesquioxane frameworks, and discuss their redox‐triggered biodegradation behaviors combined with their biocompatibility and nanobiomedical applications.
In Vitro Tissue‐Engineered Skeletal Muscle Models for Studying Muscle Physiology and Disease

Published: April 2018

AbstractHealthy skeletal muscle possesses the extraordinary ability to regenerate in response to small‐scale injuries; however, this self‐repair capacity becomes overwhelmed with aging, genetic myopathies, and large muscle loss. The failure of small animal models to accurately replicate human muscle disease, injury and to predict clinically‐relevant drug responses has driven the development of high fidelity in vitro skeletal muscle models. Herein, the progress made and challenges ahead in engineering biomimetic human skeletal muscle tissues that can recapitulate muscle development, genetic diseases, regeneration, and drug response is discussed. Bioengineering approaches used to improve engineered muscle structure and function as well as the functionality of satellite cells to allow modeling muscle regeneration in vitro are also highlighted. Next, a historical overview on the generation of skeletal muscle cells and tissues from human pluripotent stem cells, and a discussion on the potential of these approaches to model and treat genetic diseases such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy, is provided. Finally, the need to integrate multiorgan microphysiological systems to generate improved drug discovery technologies with the potential to complement or supersede current preclinical animal models of muscle disease is described.

Published: April 2018

Deaths among children with Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS) are often related to only mild or moderate upper respiratory tract infections, and many causes of death remain unexplained. Several reports have hypothesized that patients with PWS may experience latent central adrenal insufficiency. However, whether PWS subjects suffer from alteration of the hypothalamus‐pituitary‐adrenal (HPA) axis remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the HPA axis on PWS. We evaluated the HPA axis in 36 PWS patients (24 males, 12 females; age range, 7 months to 12 years; median age 2.0 years; interquartile range [IQR], 1.5–3.4 years) using an insulin tolerance test (ITT) in the morning between 08:00 and 11:00. For comparison, ITT results in 37 age‐matched healthy children evaluated for short stature were used as controls. In PWS patients, basal levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) were 13.5 pg/ml (IQR, 8.3–27.5 pg/ml) and basal levels of cortisol were 18.0 μg/dl (IQR, 14.2–23.7 μg/dl). For all patients, cortisol levels at 60 min after stimulation were within the reference range (>18.1 μg/dl), with a median peak of 41.5 μg/dl (IQR, 32.3–48.6 μg/dl). Among control children, basal level of ACTH and basal and peak levels of cortisol were 10.9 (IQR, 8.5–22.0 pg/ml), 15.6 (IQR, 11.9–21.6 μg/dl), and 27.8 μg/dl (IQR, 23.7–30.5 μg/dl), respectively. Basal and peak levels of cortisol were all within normal ranges, but peak response of cortisol to ITT was delayed in the majority of PWS patients (64%). Although the mechanism remains unclear, this delay may signify the existence of central obstacle in adjustment of the HPA axis.
Robust Preparation of Atomic Concatenated Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger States via Shortcuts to Adiabaticity
Authors: Lin Jin‐Zhong 
Published: April 2018

AbstractHere, a protocol for robust preparation of an atomic concatenated Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (C‐GHZ) state via shortcuts to adiabaticity (STA) is proposed. The devices for implementing the protocol consist of atoms, cavities, and the optical fibers, which are feasible with current technology. The atoms are trapped in the separated cavities allowing individual control over each atom with classical fields. STA helps to design Rabi frequencies of classical fields so that the atoms can be driven from the initial states to the target states. The numerical simulations show that the protocol holds robustness against atomic spontaneous emissions and photonic leakages. Thus, the protocol may be realized by experiments in the near future.

Published: April 2018

AbstractPrecise control of the molecular arrangements at the interface between the electron donor and acceptor in mixed bulk heterojunctions (BHJs) remains challenging, despite the correlation between structural characteristics and efficiency in organic photovoltaics (OPVs). This study reveals that the substitution patterns of linear and branched alkyl side chains on electron‐donating/‐accepting alternating copolymers can control the positions of an acceptor molecule (C60) around the π‐conjugated main chains in mixed BHJs. Two‐dimensional solid‐state NMR demonstrates a marked difference in the location of C60 in the blend films. A copolymer with an electron‐accepting unit positioned in close proximity to C60 demonstrated higher OPV performance in combination with various fullerene derivatives. This molecular design offers precise control over the interfacial molecular structure, thereby paving the way for overcoming the current limitations of OPVs comprising mixed BHJs.
