Abstract
Introduction Focussing on the potential role of cardiovascular cell therapy, we investigated the spatial relationship between pericytes (cells with cardiac repair capabilities that ensheath blood vessels) and endogenous cardiac progenitors within stem cells' niches. We explored possible changes in their co-localisation in developing human hearts from foetal to adult stage and following ischaemia. Methods Foetal and adult human heart specimens, obtained under ethical consent (University of Edinburgh ethics committee), were used for immunohistochemistry, cell isolation, culture and differentiation. Multi-lineage differentiation in culture, by single and double staining was completed for CD 146+ foetal pericytes and c-kit+ cells. Endothelial markers (CD31) gene expression was quantified by qPCR. Results c-kit+ cells frequency and coexpression with pericytes decrease with heart development, already evident by gestation week 19th. Pericytes and c-kit+ cells express the early cardiac transcription factors Nkx2.5 and Islet 1. Only c-kit+ cells express the stemness marker SSEA3 (24%), known to progressively decrease with cell differentiation. Endothelial differentiation assessment shows that cardiac pericytes and c-kit+ cells do not form CD31+ networks. This finding correlates with absence of staining for CD31 marker in both cultured cells' types. The cardiac marker α-actin was present in both cell populations. In healthy adult heart, pericyte markers CD146 localise within the vasculature. Following ischaemia this pericyte marker becomes also evident outside the vasculature.In healthy adult atrium, c-kit expression is low and coexpression with other markers inconspicuous. Ischaemia leads to increased c-kit expression, particularly in blood vessels <50um diameter. Furthermore, following ischaemia c-kit, endothelium and pericyte markers co-localise within the same atrial cells. Blood vessels >50μm diameter showed mostly only staining for endothelial (vWF) and pericyte (CD146) markers, with no co-expression of c-kit marker identified. Staining patterns within the ischaemic regions of the right and left atrial appendages revealed low levels of colocalisation between vWF and CD146. Acute ischaemia of the left ventricle affected the detection of cardiac stem cells markers in the area of injury, due to myocardium disruption. Conclusion Foetal heart pericytes and c-kit+ cells express early cardiac transcription factors and show trans-differentiation potential, which decreases in healthy adult hearts. The preservation and activity of cardiac stem cells niches within the atrium vasculature appears re-activated in post-ischaemic hearts. Better understanding of cardiac c-kit+ and pericyte cells during-human embryonic development and during ischaemia may identify alternative novel therapeutic strategy against coronary artery disease.

Abstract
Scapular notching after RSA may, in part, be related to a patient's scapular morphology. The purpose of this study was to develop a novel 3 D measurement technique to describe infraglenoid tubercle morphometry. We hypothesize that the parameters describing infraglenoid tubercle would be normally distributed and would correlate with individual's demographics and glenoid morphometry. A group of 110 subjects treated with RSA were evaluated. Scapular geometry was obtained from pre-operative CT scans. The scapular neck length was defined in anterior and posterior view as the orthogonal distance between the glenoid surface and (a) the point of most significant change of curvature on lateral pillar; (b) the most lateral portion of the infraglenoid tubercle. Scapular neck angle, maximum anatomical adduction angle, glenoid width, height and version were also measured. Scapular neck length measured in the anterior and posterior view were normally distributed with mean values of 17.6 ± 2.8 mm and 7.9 ± 2.5 mm, respectively. Scapular neck angle was on average 112.4 ± 10.6° and maximal adduction angle was 17.6 ± 2.8°. No significant associations between infraglenoid tubercle morphometric parameters, demographic, glenoid size or version were identified. Improved understanding of the patient-specific risk factors for scapular notching will help surgeons with pre-surgical planning and implant selection. Parametrization of the infraglenoid tubercle presented in this study showed normal distribution in the population unrelated to gender, side or demographics. The size of the infraglenoid tubercle is a unique trait, pre-operative evaluation of the scapular neck should be always warranted to decrease the incidence of post-operative notching. Clin.

Abstract
With the development of the non-surgical deep uterine (NsDU) embryo transfer (ET) technology, the commercial applicability of ET in pigs is now possible. There are, nevertheless, many factors that influence NsDU-ET effectiveness that need to be addressed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the weaned recipients' parity on fertility and prolificacy following NsDU-ET. The recipients (n = 120) were selected based on their reproductive history and body condition and grouped into three categories according to their parity: primiparous sows, sows of parity 2 and sows of parities from 3 to 5. Thirty fresh embryos (morulae and unhatched blastocysts) were non-surgically transferred into one uterine horn of each recipient. It was possible to insert the NsDU-ET catheter through the cervix along a uterine horn in 98.3% of the recipients. The parity had no influence on the difficulty grade of the insertions or on the percentage of correct insertions. The cervix and uterine wall were not perforated during the insertions, and vaginal discharge was not observed after transfer in any of the recipients. There were no differences in the pregnancy rates (74.8%), farrowing rates (71.2%) or litter sizes (9.6 ± 3.3) between groups. Also, there were no differences between groups regarding to the piglets' birthweights or piglet production efficiency. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that weaned sows from parity 1 to 5 are appropriate to be used as recipients in NsDU-ET programs, which increase the possibilities for the utilization of ET in the recipient farms.

Abstract
The application of trait-based approaches has become a widely applied tool to analyse community assembly processes and dynamics in phytoplankton communities. Its advantages include summarizing information of many species without losing essentials of the main driving processes. Here, we used trait-based approaches to study phytoplankton temporal succession in a subtropical reservoir. We applied a combined approach including morphological traits (i.e. volume, surface) and functional clustering of species (morphology-based functional groups (MBFG) and Reynolds' groups) and related the clustering of species with the environment. We found that this reservoir is characterized by a low richness and a bimodal distribution of phytoplankton biomass. Taxonomic and functional classifications were coincident, and the dominant species and groups biomasses were explained by the same group of variables. For instance, group X₂, MBFG V and Carteria sp. biomasses were explained by: pH, Secchi disk depth, N-NH₄; while group B, MBFG VI and Cyclotella ocellata biomasses were explained by stability of the water column, incident solar radiation, Secchi disk depth and N-NH4. From our results, we state that functional and taxonomic classifications are complementary rather than opposed approaches, and their specific uses depend exclusively on the aim of the study and the characteristics of the environment under evaluation. Our work is the first description of phytoplankton dynamics in a reservoir in the arid central western Argentina (Cuyo region).

Abstract
The present document has been prepared by a group of experts, members of cardiology, endocrinology, internal medicine, nephrology and diabetes societies of Latin American countries, to serve as a guide to physicians taking care of patients with diabetes, hypertension and comorbidities or complications of both conditions. Although the concept of metabolic syndrome is currently disputed, the higher prevalence in Latin America of that cluster of metabolic alterations has suggested that metabolic syndrome is a useful nosography entity in the context of Latin American medicine. Therefore, in the present document, particular attention is paid to this syndrome in order to alert physicians on a particular high-risk population, usually underestimated and undertreated. These recommendations result from presentations and debates by discussion panels during a 2-day conference held in Bucaramanga, in October 2012, and all the participants have approved the final conclusions. The authors acknowledge that the publication and diffusion of guidelines do not suffice to achieve the recommended changes in diagnostic or therapeutic strategies, and plan suitable interventions overcoming knowledge, attitude and behavioural barriers, preventing both physicians and patients from effectively adhering to guideline recommendations.

Abstract
Background People living in rural areas are prone to move to urban cities experiencing a dramatic change in the type of protein consumed. However, it is not know if those changes are associated with changes in the plasma amino acid concentration, especially the branched chain amino acids. Thus, the aim of the present study was to evaluate, in a rural Mexican population, the plasma amino acid profile after consumption of typical Mexican rural or urban diet. Results We evaluated the plasma amino acid concentrations of women from a rural population at 0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180 and 240 min after ingestion of a typical Mexican rural or urban diet. Ingestion of a Mexican urban diet induced a higher increase in leucine, isoleucine, valine, phenylalanine, tyrosine and proline than ingestion of a Mexican rural diet in women from a Mexican rural population. Arginine, histidine, lysine, threonine, alanine, glycine and serine had the same area under the curve regardless of the experimental diet. Conclusions Ingestion of a Mexican urban diet induced a higher increase in leucine, isoleucine, valine, phenylalanine, tyrosine and proline than ingestion of a Mexican rural diet in women from a Mexican rural area.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Maternal nutrition is the main source of Poly-Unsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA) for the fetus. PUFA may influence the accumulation of fat in early life. OBJECTIVES & METHODS In 33 breastfed infants born appropriate-for-gestational-age, we studied whether body composition (judged by absorptiometry at 2 wk and 4 mo) relates to PUFA levels (assessed by gas chromatography) in the maternal or fetal circulation at birth. RESULTS Abdominal fat at 2 wk associated negatively to umbilical-cord levels of separate PUFA (linoleic, arachidonic, eicosapentanoic and docosahexaenoic acid; all P between 0.001 and 0.015). Collectively, the assessed n-6 PUFA on one hand and the n-3 PUFA on the other hand associated negatively to the absolute amount of abdominal fat (in grams; P = 0.001 and P = 0.002, respectively) and to the relative amount of abdominal fat (fraction of total fat; P = 0.001 and P = 0.006, respectively). No other significant associations were observed. CONCLUSION In conclusion, newborns with lower levels of circulating PUFA were found to be abdominally more adipose. The mechanisms underpinning these associations remain to be determined.
