Abstract
Naphthoquinone (NQ) was tested on voltage-gated ion channels expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. The activity of potassium Shaker channel with Inactivation domain Removed (ShIR) was not affected; in contrast, NQ diminished Kv1.3 currents. A current decrease was barely observed with the oxidant H(2)O(2). These findings suggested that redox properties were involved in the naphthoquinone-Kv1.3 channel interaction. NQ and some derivatives (NQs) were characterized in DMSO and physiological (ND-96) media by cyclic voltammetry. A typical two-stage mono-electronic reduction mechanism was observed in DMSO, while a one-stage bi-electronic reduction process was found in ND-96 medium. NQs with the lowest and the highest redox potential values were tested on both channels. Voltage-clamp recordings showed that inhibition of Kv1.3 was dependent on NQs redox potential. Results demonstrated that structural features (aromaticity and substituents prone to hydrogen bonds formation) of NQs were also important. This effect could be explained by interactions of some channel residues with NQs that contribute to favor their reduction process in the protein surroundings. The electrochemical strategy presented to simulate the cellular environments (aqueous and non-aqueous) that NQs may face, is an important contribution to pre-select (in a fine and simple way) the best redox compounds for electrophysiological testing.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the results of total hip arthroplasty in patients with osteoarthritis and to identify predictors of poor functional outcome. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective observational study in patients operated on in 2006 with total hip arthroplasty in 4 hospitals in Guipúzcoa, followed up for 1 year. OUTCOME VARIABLES pain, physical function, complications, mortality, quality of life by WOMAC and SF-12 (at 0, 3, 6 and 12 months) and «Poor functional outcome» at one year (last quartile of the WOMAC in function area). Logistic regression was performed to examine predictors of poor functional outcome. RESULTS A total of 166 patients were followed up. The incidence of systemic and local complications was 6.3% and 14.5%, respectively, 4.3% readmissions and no deaths related to surgery. Close to 40 points improvement in pain, stiffness and WOMAC functional limitation, mainly in the first 3 months after surgery. A similar trend was seen, but lower in the physical and mental component of the SF12 (12 and 8 points, respectively). The previous score on the WOMAC function area and the physical component of SF-12, and the existence of any complications, are predictors of poor functional recovery. DISCUSSION The improvement experienced after the surgery is already very important before the third month. The functional and physical status before surgery and possible complications of surgery are significant determinants of the results.

Abstract
The loss of heterologous protein expression is one of the major problems faced by industrial cell line developers and has been reported by several authors. Therefore, the understanding of the mechanisms involved in the generation of stable and high producer cell lines is a critical issue, especially for those processes based on long term continuous cultures. We characterized two recombinant NS0 myeloma cell lines expressing Nimotuzumab, a humanized anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antibody. The hR3/H7 clone is a stable producer obtained from the unstable hR3/t16 clone. The unstable clone was characterized by a bimodal distribution of intracellular immunoglobulin staining using flow cytometry. Loss of antibody production was due to the emergence of a non-producer cell subpopulation that increased with cell generation number. Immunoglobulin heavy chain (HC) and light chain (LC) ratio (HC/LC) was lower for the unstable phenotype. Proteomic maps using two dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE) were obtained for both clones, at initial cell culture time and after 40 generations. Fifteen proteins potentially associated with the phenomenon of production stability were identified. The hR3/H7 stable clone showed an up-regulated expression pattern for most of these proteins. The regulation of recombinant antibody production by the host NS0 myeloma cell line most likely involves simultaneously cellular processes such as DNA transcription, mRNA processing, protein synthesis and folding, vesicular transport, glycolysis and energy production, according to the proteins identified in the present proteomic study.

Abstract
IntroductionEarly onset forms of bipolar disorder may be difficult to distinguish from schizophrenia. Although operational criteria have become more precise, and there are more diagnostic systems to catalogue a psychotic adolescent, the clinicians continue having difficulties.ObjectiveTo know the stability of the diagnosis of definitively bipolar patients with psychotic symptoms during the episodes, and factors that can influence other psychotic diagnoses in the first episode of the illness.Method140 bipolar patients of Araba, (Basque country) were included during 2 years. Patients were divided into two groups: unstable diagnoses (UD)(bipolar patients with an initial diagnosis of other psychosis) and stable diagnoses (SD) of bipolar disorder. Clinical and sociodemographic data were obtained.ResultsThe mean age at onset was significantly lower in the UD group (p = 0.004). It was rare to have an unstable diagnosis when the first psychotic episode occurred after age 38 (p = 0.008). There were more singles in the UD group (p = 0.010).The presence of mood incongruent psychotic symptoms was more frequent in the UD group (p < 0.001).Mood incongruent psychotic symptoms variable was the only independent factor significantly associated with an unstable diagnosis in the multivariate analysis (p = 0.036).DiscussionOne third of the patients have been previously diagnosed with other psychotic illness.This study suggests that the most important factor is the clinical picture, especially the presence of mood-incongruent psychotic symptoms. A correct diagnosis is important because patients who are prescribed mood stabilizers have lower rates of rehospitalisation than those who are not treated with mood stabilizers.

Abstract
Carbon paste electrodes (CPEs) modified with a biosolid, two types of soils with different amounts of organic matter (OM), and two biocomposites (soils mixed with a biosolid) were used to assess and compare the Cu(II) ion retention properties of the organic matter contained in the samples. The accumulation of Cu(II) on the surface of the modified carbon paste electrodes (MCPEs) was performed under open-circuit conditions. When comparing the response of the MCPEs while assessing parameters such as pH, preconcentration time, and adsorption/desorption capacity, it was found that the reaction mechanism of the two soils is different between the soils and dissimilar from the biosolid; while the biocomposites show reaction mechanisms that are intermediate between those of the soils and the biosolid. This was proven with the use of infrared spectroscopy, since the FTIR spectra show similarities between the two soils and significant differences between the soils and the biosolid.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cognitive impairment is frequent in multiple sclerosis (MS) and lacks effective treatment. Cognitive rehabilitation is widely applied in neurorehabilitation settings. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) may help in investigating changes in brain activity and provide a tool to assess the efficacy of rehabilitation. AIM To investigate the effect on brain activity as measured by fMRI of a cognitive rehabilitation programme in patients with MS and cognitive impairment. METHOD Fifteen patients with MS and cognitive impairment and five healthy subjects were recruited. Neuropsychological assessments were performed in patients with MS at study entry and after rehabilitation to assess cognitive changes. fMRI scans were performed at week -5 (baseline), week 0 (immediately before rehabilitation) and week 5 (immediately after rehabilitation). The fMRI paradigm was the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT). The cognitive rehabilitation programme was composed of 15 computer-aided drill and practice sessions and five non-computer-aided cognitive stimulation group sessions (over 5 weeks). Strict guidelines ensured comparability of all rehabilitation interventions. RESULTS Patients had increased brain fMRI activity after rehabilitation in several cerebellar areas when compared with healthy subjects. After rehabilitation, patients had significantly improved their performance on the backward version of the Digit Span Test (p = 0.007) and on a composite score of neuropsychological outcomes (p = 0.009). CONCLUSION The results of the present study indicate that this cognitive rehabilitation programme increases brain activity in the cerebellum of cognitively impaired patients with MS. The role of fMRI in the assessment of neurorehabilitation schemes warrants further investigation.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to determine the effectiveness of using multiple choice tests in subjects related to the administration and business management. To this end the authors used a multiple-choice test with specific questions to verify the extent of knowledge gained and the confidence and trust in the answers. The analysis made, conducted by tests given out to a group of 200 students, has been implemented in one subject related with investment analysis and has measured the level of knowledge gained and the degree of trust and security in the responses at two different times of the business administration and management course. Measurements were taken into account at different levels of difficulty in the questions asked and the time spent by students to complete the test. Results confirm that students are generally able to obtain more knowledge along the way and get increases in the degree of trust and confidence. It is estimated that improvement in skills learned is viewed favourably by businesses and are important for job placement. Finally, the authors proceed to analyze a multi-choice test using a combination of knowledge and confidence levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE It has been reported that the presence of COPD and emphysema is associated with an increased risk of lung cancer, but the prognosis significance of these two conditions is not well known. The aim of our study was to analyze the influence of COPD and emphysema in the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS Three hundred and fifty-three patients with cytohistologic diagnosis of NSCLC were prospectively collected. The relationship between survival at two years and the following variables: age, sex, smoking habit, comorbid diseases (cardiovascular diseases, previous tumour and COPD), weight loss, presence of emphysema on CT scan, performance status (PS) and treatment, was analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test were used for survival analysis. A multivariate Cox proportional hazard model, stratified by TNM stage, was used to evaluate prognostic factors. RESULTS Emphysema was present in 110 patients, associated with COPD in 78 (70.9%). In univariate analysis, survival decreased with age>70 years (p=0.01), presence of emphysema (p=0.02), weight loss (p=0.00001), PS≥2 (p=0.00001) and symptomatic treatment (p=0.0001). Multivariate analyses identified emphysema (HR=1.49 (95% CI 1.11-2.01)), PS≥2 (HR=2.12 (95% CI 1.31-3.38)) and treatment: surgery (HR=0.3 (95% CI 0.15-0.56)) and chemotherapy (HR=0.34 (95% CI 0.31-0.57)) as independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSION The presence of emphysema affects the prognostic outcome of patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Emphysema should therefore be considered for prognostic studies on comorbidity.

Abstract
A PCR assay was developed for the identification of meats and commercial meat products from quail (Coturnix coturnix), pheasant (Phasianus colchicus), partridge (Alectoris spp.), guinea fowl (Numida meleagris), pigeon (Columba spp.), Eurasian woodcock (Scolopax rusticola), and song thrush (Turdus philomelos) based on oligonucleotide primers targeting specific sequences from the mitochondrial D-loop region. The primers designed generated specific fragments of 96, 100, 104, 106, 147, 127, and 154 bp in length for quail, pheasant, partridge, guinea fowl, pigeon, Eurasian woodcock, and song thrush tissues, respectively. The specificity of each primer pair was tested against DNA from various game and domestic species. In this work, satisfactory amplification was accomplished in the analysis of experimentally pasteurized (72 degrees C for 30 min) and sterilized (121 degrees C for 20 min) meats, as well as in commercial meat products from the target species. The technique was also applied to raw and sterilized muscular binary mixtures, with a detection limit of 0.1% (wt/wt) for each of the targeted species. The proposed PCR assay represents a rapid and straightforward method for the detection of possible mislabeling in game bird meat products.

Abstract
CASE REPORTS We present four cases: two males with Horner Syndrome, who were diagnosed by means of apraclonidine 0.5% and cocaine 4% tests respectively. Two children with anisocoria, one of whom had Horner Syndrome confirmed with apraclonidine 1% and the other, in whom an apraclonidine test ruled out this syndrome but in whom pilocarpine 0.125% confirmed Adie's pupil. DISCUSSION Apraclonidine drops (1% and 0.5%) may aid in the diagnosis of Horner Syndrome and are easier to obtain than cocaine.
