Abstract
Background Childhood obesity represents a global public health crisis: the number of obese children and adolescents (aged 519years) worldwide has risen tenfold in the past four decades. The vast majority of overweight and obese children live in high-income countries, and low socio-economic status (SES) is a significant risk factor. Family Based Interventions (FBI) have demonstrated positive results in preventing obesity, although these results are strongly influenced by SES. Moreover, we still poorly understand how FBI can determine a positive trend in weight status in low-income communities. Therefore, there is an urgent need to define and evaluate innovative and multi-target projects to reduce obesity risk behaviors and health inequalities and the present study aims to present the study protocol of FIVALIN a FBI that pretends to achieve this goal. Methods We will conduct a quasi-experimental design within 60 Community Child Centers (CCC) in Barcelona metropolitan area. Each cluster (CCC) will be assigned by convenience to the intervention and control groups. For the whole study, a total of 810 children aged 812years and 600 parents will be recruited during 3 consecutive editions (1st 2019/2020; 2nd 2020/2021; 3rd 2021/2022) of 10months each. The action is a regular multicomponent health-promotion intervention targeting children, families, and CCC. All activities are based on the Motivational Interviewing (MI) approach and will focus on promoting good dietary habits, physical activity, appropriate screen time and sleep duration, and psychological well-being. The control group participate in a unique workshop on general awareness of healthy lifestyles for families. We will perform a comparative analysis of the evolution of weight status, healthy lifestyles, and socioeconomic variables, between the intervention and control groups. Discussion There is a need for more evidence on how to target and evaluate holistic interventions in low SES families. Our multi-targeting intervention for obesity prevention tackles risky behaviors that go beyond diet and physical activity (PA). Therefore, future interventions can effectively promote all the behavioral domains that determine trends in the weight status. Trial registration ISRCTN Registry: ISRCRN12682870.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) is a useful therapeutic option. However, some patients respond poorly to it and can even show tumor progression. It is important to define factors that can predict response to NAT. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study to define histopathological factors predicting response to NAT in gastric tubular carcinoma. This study has enrolled 80 patients receiving chemotherapy for locally advanced gastric carcinoma. RESULTS 44.5% of the patients were men; mean age was 64.49 years. Only 5.7% of the patients showed a complete response to therapy, 10% had grade 1, 21.4% grade 2, and 62.9% grade 3 regression. On follow-up, 43.8% of the patients showed recurrence of disease (57.1% distant metastasis) and 33.8% eventually died of it. We found a statistically significant association between response and prognosis. We found a statistically significant association between regression and perineural, vascular, and lymph vessel invasion. Logistic regression model showed that only lymph vessel invasion had independent influence. Lymph vessel invasion not only indicated lack of response to therapy, but also higher incidence of lymph node involvement in the gastrectomy specimen. DISCUSSION Our study indicates that the presence of vascular or perineural invasion in the endoscopic biopsies and high histopathological grade predict poor response to therapy. This seems peculiar, for undifferentiated tumors are supposed to have better response to therapy. CONCLUSION Our study indicates that undifferentiated tumors respond worse to therapy. Furthermore, studies are necessary to define lack of response, to help avoid neoadjuvant therapy in unfavorable cases.

Abstract
Polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) is a serine/threonine-protein kinase expressed during mitosis and overexpressed in multiple human cancers, including leukemia and also many solid tumors. PLK1 knockdown has been shown to block proliferation of leukemic cell lines and the clonogenic potential of tumor cells grown from patients with cancer. PLK1 inhibition is a promising strategy for the treatment of some tumors. We aim to analyze expression of PLK1 in metastatic colorectal carcinoma. Retrospective analysis of colorectal carcinomas with hepatic metastasis during follow-up receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), based on oxaliplatin. Immunohistochemistry for PLK-1 in paraffin-embedded tissue from the primary and also from the metastasis. 50 patients. 32% showed good histopathological response. 43% of the primaries were positive for PLK1, as opposed to 23.5% of the metastasis. Expression of PLK1 was significantly reduced in metastasis compared with the primaries (p = 0.05), what could be due to therapy or to a phenotypic change of the metastatic nodule. Analysis of the prognostic influence of PLK1 expression showed significant association between PLK1 expression in metastasis and lower overall survival (p = 0.000). We have also found a significant association between PLK1 expression and histopathological response (p = 0.02). All the tumors with high expression of PLK1 showed minor response (11/11). This study shows the association between survival and poor histopathological response to therapy and high expression of PLK1 in metastasis. Our results could open a new therapeutic approach through the inhibition of PLK1.

Abstract
Neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) is mainly indicated for locally advanced rectal carcinoma. Many reports have shown that regression of the primary tumor is a prognostic factor. However, few reports to date have analyzed the potential prognostic significance of lymph node regression in rectal carcinoma. The aim of the present study is to describe the pattern of tumor regression in lymph nodes after NAT for rectal carcinoma and its potential prognostic significance. We have retrospectively reviewed 106 cases of rectal carcinoma treated at a single institution. We have retrieved data from the patients and reviewed the histopathological slides to evaluate tumor regression both of the primary tumor and of LN metastases. Prognosis has been defined both in terms of disease-free survival (DFS) and disease-specific survival (DSS). Of the patients, 16% showed complete response of the primary tumor, while 24% showed poor response, according to the CAP regression grading system. Absence of lymph node involvement after therapy was found in 80% of the patients (ypN0 cases), while 20% were ypN+. We reviewed 639 LN; 85 were involved by tumor, and 170 showed histological signs of tumor regression. The main pattern of tumor regression in lymph nodes was fibrosis (66.3%), followed by hystiocytosis (29.1%) and mucin pools (4.6%). We found histological signs of regression in 57% of ypN0 cases and 76% of ypN+ cases. We found a significant association between regression grade of the primary tumor and of lymph node metastases. For ypN0 patients with persistence of the primary tumor after NAT, the median DFS was significantly shorter in patients showing tumor regression in the LN. In a Cox multivariate survival model for DFS, this prognostic influence was independent of the regression grade of the primary tumor and also of the ypTNM stage. We found no significant association between any factor and DSS. The pattern of tumor regression in lymph nodes was not significantly associated with prognosis. Tumor regression in lymph nodes is an important prognostic factor in rectal carcinoma after NAT and should be specifically looked for and included in pathology reports.

Abstract
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is the most aggressive subtype of lung cancer in its clinical behavior, with a 5-year overall survival as low as 5%. Despite years of research in the field, molecular determinants of SCLC behavior are still poorly understood, and this deficiency has translated into an absence of specific diagnostics and targeted therapeutics. We hypothesized that tumor DNA copy number alterations would allow the identification of molecular pathways involved in SCLC progression. Array comparative genomic hybridization was performed on DNA extracted from 46 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded SCLC tissue specimens. Genomic profiling of tumor and sex-matched control DNA allowed the identification of 70 regions of copy number gain and 55 regions of copy number loss. Using molecular pathway analysis, we found a strong enrichment in these regions of copy number alterations for 11 genes associated with the focal adhesion pathway. We verified these findings at the genomic, gene expression and protein level. Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK), one of the central genes represented in this pathway, was commonly expressed in SCLC tumors and constitutively phosphorylated in SCLC cell lines. Those were poorly adherent to most substrates but not to laminin-322. Inhibition of FAK phosphorylation at Tyr(397) by a small-molecule inhibitor, PF-573,228, induced a dose-dependent decrease of adhesion and an increase of spreading in SCLC cell lines on laminin-322. Cells that tended to spread also showed a decrease in focal adhesions, as demonstrated by a decreased vinculin expression. These results support the concept that pathway analysis of genes in regions of copy number alterations may uncover molecular mechanisms of disease progression and demonstrate a new role of FAK and associated adhesion pathways in SCLC. Further investigations of FAK at the functional level may lead to a better understanding of SCLC progression and may have therapeutic implications.

Abstract
In this work we describe the present status of an ongoing project to develop a tandem-electrostatic-quadrupole (TESQ) accelerator facility for accelerator-based (AB) BNCT at the Atomic Energy Commission of Argentina in Buenos Aires. The project final goal is a machine capable of delivering 30 mA of 2.4 MeV protons to be used in conjunction with a neutron production target based on the (7)Li(p,n)(7)Be reaction slightly beyond its resonance at 2.25 MeV. These are the specifications needed to produce sufficiently intense and clean epithermal neutron beams, based on the (7)Li(p,n)(7)Be reaction, to perform BNCT treatment for deep-seated tumors in less than an hour. An electrostatic machine is the technologically simplest and cheapest solution for optimized AB-BNCT. The machine being designed and constructed is a folded TESQ with a high-voltage terminal at 1.2 MV intended to work in air. Such a machine is conceptually shown to be capable of transporting and accelerating a 30 mA proton beam to 2.4 MeV. The general geometric layout, its associated electrostatic fields, and the acceleration tube are simulated using a 3D finite element procedure. The design and construction of the ESQ modules is discussed and their electrostatic fields are investigated. Beam transport calculations through the accelerator are briefly mentioned. Likewise, work related to neutron production targets, strippers, beam shaping assembly and patient treatment room is briefly described.

Abstract
Growth factors have proved to be an effective therapeutic strategy. However, some controversies have arisen concerning their efficacy in topical wound treatments. Stabilization of epidermal growth factors at the wound site and long-lasting receptor occupancy are important factors for wound repair. This study evaluated the cumulative profiles of two jellies containing 10 or 20 microg of 125I-rhEGF per gram of jelly, in a rat full-thickness skin lesion model. The prolonged time-courses at the wound sites for both strengths compared with saline solutions previously evaluated using a similar skin lesion model are reported. It seems that these two topical formulations that provide more sustained amounts of 125I-rhEGF over the period of sampling, would probably achieve the required wound healing response in terms of cell proliferation, collagen deposition and protein synthesis. Further studies need to be developed in order to elucidate whether such an in vivo disposition pattern is consistent with an earlier and stronger promotion of wound healing events.

Abstract
FGD1 mutations result in faciogenital dysplasia, an X-linked human disease that affects skeletogenesis. FGD1 encodes a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that specifically activates the Rho GTPase Cdc42. To gain insight into the function of FGD1, we have isolated and characterized fgd-1, the Caenorhabditis elegans homolog of the human FGD1 gene. Comparative sequence analyses show that fgd-1 and FGD1 share a similar structural organization and a high degree of sequence identity throughout shared signaling domains. In nematodes, interference with fgd-1 expression results in excretory cell abnormalities and cystic dilation of the excretory cell canals. Molecular lesions associated with two exc-5 alleles affect the fgd-1 gene, and fgd-1 transgenic expression rescues the Exc-5 phenotype. Together, these data confirm that the fgd-1 transcript corresponds to the exc-5 gene. Transgenic expression studies show that fgd-1 has a limited pattern of expression that is confined to the excretory cell during development, a finding that suggests that the C.elegans FGD-1 protein might function in a cell autonomous manner. Serial observations indicate that fgd-1 mutations lead to developmental excretory cell abnormalities that cause cystic dilation and interfere with canal process extension. Based on these data, we conclude that fgd-1 is the C.elegans homolog of the human FGD1 gene, a new member of the FGD1-related family of RhoGEF genes, and that fgd-1 plays a critical role in excretory cell morphogenesis and cellular organization.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the incidence of acute Rheumatic Fever (ARF). PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective, descriptive, observational study on the first attack and recurrence was performed in a general hospital and a reference center. RESULTS By Jones criteria: 67 cases, 39 women and 28 men; 58% first attack, 42% recurrence. Higher incidence during spring-winter. The most common major criteria were: carditis, polyarthritis. The most common minor criteria were: fever, arthralgias and acute phase reaction markers. No differences between hospitals were noted. Evidence of contact with streptococcus was found. Mitral, aortic and tricuspid valves were commonly affected. Incidence in the age group > 5 < 20 was 7/1000. DISCUSSION Incidence of ARF has decreased, but has not been eradicated. It occurs in developing countries, where it remains an issue of public health. Failures in clinical suspicion, prophylaxis, and adherence to treatment influence this situation. Education for health, early diagnosis, and primary and secondary prophylaxis should be reinforced.

Abstract
FGD1, the gene responsible for the inherited disease faciogenital dysplasia, encodes a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that specifically activates the p21 GTPase Cdc42. In order, FGD1 is composed of a proline-rich N-terminal region, adjacent GEF and pleckstrin homology (PH) domains, a FYVE-finger domain and a second C-terminal PH domain (PH2), structural motifs involved in signaling and subcellular localization. Fgd1, the mouse FGD1 ortholog, is expressed in regions of active bone formation within osteoblasts and in the osteoblast-like cell line MC3T3-E1, a finding consistent with its role in skeletal formation. Here, we use subcellular fractionation studies to show that endogenous Fgd1 protein is localized in the cytosolic and Golgi and plasma membrane fractions of mouse calvarial cells. Immunocytochemical studies performed with osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells and other mammalian cell lines confirm the localization of Fgd1 and show that the proline-rich N-terminal region is necessary and sufficient for Fgd1 subcellular localization to the plasma membrane and Golgi complex. In contrast, the FYVE-finger and PH2 domains do not appear to direct the localization of Fgd1 or the activation of Cdc42. In addition, microinjection studies indicate that the N-terminal Fgd1 domain inhibits filopodia formation, suggesting that this region down-regulates GEF function. These results characterize the function of the Fgd1 domains for both protein localization and Cdc42 activation and indicate that the Fgd1 Cdc42GEF protein is involved in the regulation of Cdc42 activity at the subcortical actin cytoskeleton and Golgi complex.

FGD1 encodes a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that specifically activates the Rho GTPase Cdc42; FGD1 mutations result in Faciogenital Dysplasia (FGDY, Aarskog syndrome), an X-linked developmental disorder that adversely affects the formation of multiple skeletal structures. To further define the role of FGD1 in skeletal development, we examined its expression in developing mouse embryos and correlated this pattern with FGDY skeletal defects. In this study, we show that Fgd1, the mouse FGD1 ortholog, is initially expressed during the onset of ossification during embryogenesis. Fgd1 is expressed in regions of active bone formation in the trabeculae and diaphyseal cortices of developing long bones. The onset of Fgd1 expression correlates with the expression of bone sialo-protein, a protein specifically expressed in osteoblasts at the onset of matrix mineralization; an analysis of serial sections shows that Fgd1 is expressed in tissues containing calcified and mineralized extracellular matrix. Fgd1 protein is specifically expressed in cultured osteoblast and osteoblast-like cells including MC3T3-E1 cells and human osteosarcoma cells but not in other mesodermal cells; immunohistochemical studies confirm the presence of Fgd1 protein in mouse calvarial cells. Postnatally, Fgd1 is expressed more broadly in skeletal tissue with expression in the perichondrium, resting chondrocytes, and joint capsule fibroblasts. The data indicate that Fgd1 is expressed in a variety of regions of incipient and active endochondral and intramembranous ossification including the craniofacial bones, vertebrae, ribs, long bones and phalanges. The observed pattern of Fgd1 expression correlates with FGDY skeletal manifestations and provides an embryologic basis for the prevalence of observed skeletal defects. The observation that the induction of Fgd1 expression coincides with the initiation of ossification strongly suggests that FGD1 signaling plays a role in ossification and bone formation; it also suggests that FGD1 signaling does not play a role in the earlier phases of skeletogenesis. With the observation that FGD1 mutations result in the skeletal dysplasia FGDY, accumulated data indicate that FGD1 signaling plays a critical role in ossification and skeletal development.

Abstract
A system consisting of five purified proteins: Hsp90, Hsp70, Hop, Hsp40, and p23, acts as a machinery for assembly of glucocorticoid receptor (GR).Hsp90 heterocomplexes. Hop binds independently to Hsp90 and to Hsp70 to form a Hsp90.Hop.Hsp70.Hsp40 complex that is sufficient to convert the GR to its steroid binding form, and this four-protein complex will form stable GR.Hsp90 heterocomplexes if p23 is added to the system (Dittmar, K. D., Banach, M., Galigniana, M. D., and Pratt, W. B. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 7358-7366). Hop has been considered essential for the formation of receptor.Hsp90 heterocomplexes and GR folding. Here we use Hsp90 and Hsp70 purified free of all traces of Hop and Hsp40 to show that Hop is not required for GR.Hsp90 heterocomplex assembly and activation of steroid binding activity. Rather, Hop enhances the rate of the process. We also show that Hsp40 is not essential for GR folding by the five-protein system but enhances a process that occurs less effectively when it is not present. By carrying out assembly in the presence of radiolabeled steroid to bind to the GR as soon as it is converted to the steroid binding state, we show that the folding change is brought about by only two essential components, Hsp90 and Hsp70, and that Hop, Hsp40, and p23 act as nonessential co-chaperones.

Abstract
The human N-acetyltransferase (Nat2) genetic polymorphisms have been modeled in mouse strains. We determined the phenotype and genotype of the N-acetyltransferase 2 (Nat2*) gene among outbred CD-1 mice and found a mixed population of heterozygous and rapid and slow homozygous genotypes. Phenotypes determined with p-aminobenzoic acid demonstrated complete concordance of slow and rapid genotype and phenotype. The kidney p-aminobenzoic acid/Nat2-acetylating activity of CD-1 female mice showed a 2.5-fold increase at 80 days of age compared with day 1, whereas males showed a 4.3-fold increase at 25 days and a 5.8-fold increase at 80 days. Immunoblot analysis revealed a 2-fold increase in male kidney Nat immunoreactive protein at 80 days of age, whereas no significant differences were detected in female mice. Likewise, the Nat2 mRNA levels determined by ribonuclease protection assay showed an increase in transcript levels in kidney of male mice during postnatal development, whereas they remained unchanged in females. Gender-associated differences of Nat2 activity, protein, and transcript levels were absent in liver. These observations suggest that the increase in Nat2 enzymatic activity in kidney is accomplished by an increase in transcript. We propose that the observed increase in Nat2 transcript expression in male mice may be a result of androgen regulation during development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In a relatively short period of time, therapeutic laparoscopy has become an everyday part of the general surgeon's life. Although laparoscopy provides distinct clinical advantages, it is not yet clear that it lessens the stress response typical of elective surgical procedures, and as such, the morbidity of surgery. The hypothesis that laparoscopic cholecystectomy produces less of a metabolic and stress hormonal response than open cholecystectomy was tested in a prospective randomized trial. STUDY DESIGN Twenty otherwise healthy women between 18 and 45 years of age with a history of uncomplicated symptomatic cholelithiasis undergoing either laparoscopic (n = 10) or open cholecystectomy (n = 10) were studied. The hormonal response of the adrenocortical (serum adrenocorticotropic hormone, cortisol, and urinary free cortisol), adrenomedullary (plasma and urinary epinephrine and norepinephrine), thyroid (thyroid-stimulating hormone, thyroxine, and triiodothyronine), pituitary (antidiuretic hormone and growth hormone), and glucose (serum glucose, glucagon, and insulin) homeostatic axes were measured serially over a 24-hour period. RESULTS No difference was seen between the laparoscopic and open groups in operative time (mean plus or minus standard error of the mean, 70 +/- 6 minutes compared with 77 +/- 6.3 minutes) or hospital stay 1.3 +/- 0.2 compared with 1.1 +/- 0.1 days). Assessment of postoperative pain using an analog pain score was less in the laparoscopic group (4.9 +/- 1.3 compared with 12.3 +/- 2.5, p = 0.01). The response of the adrenocortical, adrenomedullary, thyroid, and glucose axes were similar or identical in both groups. Antidiuretic hormone levels were greater in the laparoscopic group at one hour intraoperatively (281 +/- 79 pg/mL compared with 54 +/- 18 pg/mL, p < 0.01), and at extubation (122 +/- 18 pg/mL compared with 36 +/- 7 pg/mL, p < 0.01). Serum glucose levels were greater immediately following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Glucose and insulin levels were greater at four, 12, and 24 hours after open cholecystectomy. CONCLUSIONS Elective laparoscopic and open cholecystectomy for uncomplicated cholelithiasis result in similar degrees of perioperative hormonal stimulation. The different hormonal responses in the immediate and later postoperative periods after laparoscopic and open cholecystectomy suggest differential stressful stimuli between the two procedures.

Abstract
The present study includes 178 Haemophilus influenzae strains isolated in different pediatric hospitals from Havana, Cuba, during 1991-1994, associated to divers infections (meningitis, respiratory sepsis, primary bacteremia). A combination of various typing and subtyping methods was used as epidemiological markers: serotyping (slide agglutination with diagnostical serum a-f and latex agglutination), biotyping according to Killian's procedures (by determination of indole production, urease and ornithine decarboxylase activity), subtyping by fermentative profiles according to Roberts' methods (glucose, maltose, xylose and fructose) and outer membrane protein profile subtyping (vesicles extraction by a modified Barenkamp's method, analysis by lineal and gradient SDS-PAGE and assessment according to our own classification system). Serotype b was identified in 89.3%, biotype I was the most frequent (79.1%), other biotypes (II, III, IV and V) were also identified. Fermentative profile D (glucose, maltose, xylose and fructose positive) was the most frequent (52.8%) while profile G (glucose, maltose, xylose positive and fructose negative) represented 20.2%. Other known profiles were present. PA2 (33.7%) was the most frequent OMP subtype. Even though 11 different protein subtypes were found, the 77.5% of the strains were located in only three OMP electrophoretic subtypes (PA2, PC1, LA2).

Abstract
The authors examined 21 major health data systems of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and concluded that data on Hispanics are not included in several Departmental national health data collection systems, and that even when collected, data on Hispanic subpopulations are found in few of the systems. Of the 21 data systems, 6 do not collect Hispanic population data, including the Medicare statistical system. Only the National Vital Statistics System was found to collect data for all major Hispanic subpopulation groups. Seventeen of the 21 data systems do not collect sample sizes adequate for analyzing any one of the four major Hispanic subpopulation groups. To address that lack, Hispanic health leadership agendas have recommended collecting data on Hispanics in all systems, where possible, to provide samples of a size adequate for detailed analysis of Hispanic subpopulation groups, for support of researchers and a Hispanic research infrastructure, and for broad dissemination of data findings, including dissemination in useful formats to Hispanic community-based organizations.

Abstract
The fate of 248 patients diagnosed of colorectal malignancies between 1973 and 1982 and subjected to radical surgery with curative purposes was analysed. The effect of peroperative whole blood and packed red cells transfusions, along with other co-variants, on the survival of the patients was studied. It was found, by means of the Cox analysis, that whole blood and the Duke's staging system had the most important correlation (p = 0.003 and p = 0.02, respectively) on the patients' prognosis and survival, no such relationship being found with packed red cells transfusion (p = 0.25). Dose-related association between the relapse index and the number of whole blood units transfused was shown by the Mantel's global trend test (p = 0.015). The different effect of the transfusion products would confirm the hypothesis that the relationship between transfusion and poorer prognosis, thought to be due to patient's immunosuppression and hence higher relapse index, could be determined by any ill-defined plasmatic factor.

Abstract
Azotemia is an ominous prognostic sign in cirrhosis with ascites. To investigate whether other renal disturbances are also prognostically significant, we studied the renin-aldosterone system and sodium excretion (UNaV) in 75 patients who had nonazotemic cirrhosis with ascites and related these to survival. On the basis of plasma renin activity patients were classified in two groups. Group I included 34 patients with normal renin activity (1.13 +/- 0.69 ng/mL . h) and Group II, 41 patients with high renin activity (7.46 +/- 3.86 ng/mL . h). The two groups differed significantly (p less than 0.001) in plasma aldosterone, UNaV, and wedged hepatic venous pressure but not in clinical features, liver function, glomerular filtration, and renal plasma flow. Patients of Group I lived significantly longer than those of Group II (the 50% survival rates were 28 months and 6 months, respectively). Survival curves obtained after grouping the patients according to UNaV (higher and lower than 10 meq/d) were almost identical to those obtained according to renin activity. The study results indicate that plasma renin activity and UNaV are of prognostic value in nonazotemic cirrhosis with ascites.
