Abstract
Introduction This study evaluated the immune response to a multiepitope recombinant chimeric protein (CHIVAX) containing B- and T-cell epitopes of the SARS-CoV-2 spike's receptor binding domain (RBD) in a translational porcine model for pre-clinical studies. Methods We generated a multiepitope recombinant protein engineered to include six coding conserved epitopes from the RBD domain of the SARS-CoV-2 S protein. Pigs were divided into groups and immunized with different doses of the protein, with serum samples collected over time to determine antibody responses by indirect ELISA and antibody titration. Peptide recognition was also analyzed by Western blotting. A surrogate neutralization assay with recombinant ACE2 and RBDs was performed. Intranasal doses of the immunogen were also prepared and tested on Vietnamese minipigs. Results When the immunogen was administered subcutaneously, it induced specific IgG antibodies in pigs, and higher doses correlated with higher antibody levels. Antibodies from immunized pigs recognized individual peptides in the multiepitope vaccine and inhibited RBD-ACE2 binding for five variants of concern (VOC). Comparative antigen delivery methods showed that both, subcutaneous and combined subcutaneous/intranasal approaches, induced specific IgG and IgA antibodies, with the subcutaneous approach having superior neutralizing activity. CHIVAX elicited systemic immunity, evidenced by specific IgG antibodies in the serum, and local mucosal immunity, indicated by IgA antibodies in saliva, nasal, and bronchoalveolar lavage secretions. Importantly, these antibodies demonstrated neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro. Discussion The elicited antibodies recognized individual epitopes on the chimeric protein and demonstrated the capacity to block RBD-ACE2 binding of the ancestral SARS-CoV-2 strain and four VOCs. The findings provide proof of concept for using multiepitope recombinant antigens and a combined immunization protocol to induce a neutralizing immune response against SARS-CoV-2 in the pig translational model for preclinical studies.

Abstract
Background Malignant Superior Vena Cava Syndrome (SVCS) corresponds to the clinical manifestations due to the restriction of venous return to the right atrium secondary to obstruction of the superior vena cava and/or its main tributaries for a tumor. Endovascular management has proven to be safe, effective and cause a fast symptomatic relief in patients with SVCS. There is limited evidence in factors associated with outcomes in malignant setting for this procedure. Materials and methods An analytical retrospective study was conducted and included patients that underwent endovascular management for malignant SVCS at the National Cancer Institute of Colombia between May 2016 and May 2021. Clinical and technical variables were analyzed to found associations with outcomes in these patients. Results 54 patients were analyzed. Successful procedure rate was 94.4 %. At 10 months, the OS of the entire cohort of patients was 25 %. Patients with breast or lung cancer (P = 0.031), unsuccessful procedure (P = 0.011), and also with short time of symptoms to the date of the endovascular procedure (P = 0.027) had worse OS. Multivariate analysis showed that lung cancer [HR = 2.55, 95%IC:(1.21-5.36)] and left internal jugular vein or left Innominate vein distal stent attachment [HR = 3.27, 95%IC:(1.31-8.15)] were independent factors for worst OS. Conclusions Based in the high success rate of the endovascular management and the better outcome in patients with early and successful procedure, this procedure should be considered as part of the multimodal treatment in patients with SVCS independent of the clinical scenario and the oncological diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES HIV infection and its treatment are associated with dyslipidaemia and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Accurate high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol values are necessary for the management of these abnormalities, but current methods have not been properly assessed in these patients. The aim of this study was to assess in HIV-infected patients the consistency and accuracy of a synthetic polymer/detergent homogeneous assay used to measure HDL cholesterol concentrations and to evaluate the impact of storage. METHODS HDL cholesterol was measured using a synthetic polymer/detergent homogeneous method in samples from HIV-infected patients and healthy subjects for each of the storage regimens: baseline, after 1 week at 4 degrees C, and after 12 months at -80 degrees C. The ultracentrifugation and precipitation assays were used for comparison. RESULTS Three out of every 20 samples from HIV-infected patients had discrepant HDL cholesterol values with respect to the ultracentrifugation method. Overestimation was associated with high C-reactive protein concentrations and underestimation with plasma gamma-globulin concentrations, an effect that was amplified by any of the storage conditions tested. CONCLUSIONS Caution is needed when using the synthetic polymer/detergent homogeneous method for direct measurement of HDL cholesterol concentrations in HIV-infected patients. This assay is of limited use in clinical trials in which frozen samples are analysed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES HIV-infected patients show an increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk resulting, essentially, from metabolic disturbances related to chronic infection and antiretroviral treatments. The aims of this study were: (1) to evaluate the agreement between the CVD risk estimated using the Framingham risk score (FRS) and the observed presence of subclinical atherosclerosis in HIV-infected patients; (2) to investigate the relationships between CVD and plasma biomarkers of oxidation and inflammation. METHODS Atherosclerosis was evaluated in 187 HIV-infected patients by measuring the carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT). CVD risk was estimated using the FRS. We also measured the circulating levels of interleukin-6, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and paraoxonase-1 activity and concentration. RESULTS There was a weak, albeit statistically significant, agreement between FRS and CIMT (kappa=0.229, P<0.001). A high proportion of patients with an estimated low risk had subclinical atherosclerosis (n=66; 56.4%). In a multivariate analysis, the presence of subclinical atherosclerosis in this subgroup of patients was associated with age [odds ratio (OR) 1.285; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.084-1.524; P=0.004], body mass index (OR 0.799; 95% CI 0.642-0.994; P=0.044), MCP-1 (OR 1.027; 95% CI 1.004-1.050; P=0.020) and oxidized LDL (OR 1.026; 95% CI 1.001-1.051; P=0.041). CONCLUSION FRS underestimated the presence of subclinical atherosclerosis in HIV-infected patients. The increased CVD risk was related, in part, to the chronic oxidative stress and inflammatory status associated with this patient population.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated higher concentrations of some histocompatibility antigens in Mapuche people compared with non-Mapuche Chileans in the renal transplantation program. With the aim of evaluating whether those antigenic differences might induce differences in the outcomes of renal transplantation among patients belonging to that ethnic group, we reviewed HLA studies and at least 6 months follow-up of all patients with a first kidney transplant between 1980 and 2006. The 248 patients had a mean age of 37.6 years, 40% were females, and 48% had living related donors. The mean kidney follow-up was 90 months and patient follow-up was 106 months. Thirty-nine patients (16%) were classified as Mapuche, according to their surnames, including 16 women with overall mean age of 34.5 years, and 14 had been transplanted from a living related donor. Mapuche patients received organs with better HLA matching expressed as number of identities (3.4 +/- 0.1 versus 2.8 +/- 0.1 among non-Mapuche; P < .05), and the proportion receiving organs with > or = 3 compatibilities was significantly higher (Mapuche 38% versus non-Mapuche 22%; P < .05). Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed nonsignificant differences in kidney survival: 86% at 5 years and 68% at 10 years in Mapuche; and 83% and 65%, respectively, for non-Mapuche. Patient survival rates were 97% at 5 years and 86% at 10 years in the Mapuche group versus 91% and 79%, respectively, in the non-Mapuche group; both results were not significantly different. Our results showed similar outcomes of kidney and patient survivals among Mapuche people even when they received organs with better HLA matches.

Abstract
Disease progression and soil population dynamics of Monosporascus cannonballus ascospores were studied and compared through the entire growing season in muskmelon, watermelon, and watermelon grafted onto Cucurbita rootstock crops. In muskmelon and watermelon, there was a decrease of ascospore counts in soil from transplanting until first symptoms of vine decline were observed. This decrease probably was related to ascospore germination and subsequent root infection. Later, there was a remarkable increase of ascospore counts in a parallel way to the quick development of vine decline symptoms, which lead to plant death. In these crops, root colonization adjusted to first-order linear equations and vine decline progression best correlated with exponential and logistic models. In contrast, there were no symptoms of vine decline on grafted watermelon. Furthermore, the isolation of M. cannonballus from Cucurbita roots was considerably lower, perithecia were never observed, and ascospore soil populations remained stable. These results suggest that disease control by grafting onto genus Cucurbita seems to be related primarily by the increased resistance of its root system to infection by M. canonballus, and provide further evidence of the use of grafting as a disease management measure for this disease.

Abstract
The occurrence of off-flavours in wines and especially the so-called "cork taint defect" represents one of the most serious problem in wine industry in which 2,4,6-trichloroanisole has been blamed as the main responsible. The development of analytical methods for haloanisoles determination in wine/cork represent a challenge, mainly due to food matrix complexity and low taste and odour (T&O) threshold levels which are generally beyond the sensitivity of the analytical systems. In this work, a method based on the combined use of the recently developed multiple headspace solid-phase microextraction (MHS-SPME) and gas chromatography-ion-trap mass spectrometry has been optimised for the determination of haloanisoles in wines. This powerful analytical methodology is compared with several analytical approaches based on pervaporation, an innovative membrane-based technique similar to dynamic headspace. Analytical features of the methods assayed reveal their suitability for the appraisal of haloanisoles in this matrix in which threshold odor concentrations are in the range 4-40 ng l(-1). The analytical approaches have been applied to the analysis of haloanisoles in different Spanish white and red wines, in which spiking experiments showed good recoveries for the methodologies assayed.

Abstract
During the winter of 2003-2004, dieback symptoms were observed on Pinus radiata and P. pinaster in pine nurseries in Asturias (northern Spain). Small groups of affected seedlings appeared randomly distributed throughout the nurseries. The seedlings died rapidly, showing basal needle dieback, stem lesions, resin exudations, and wilting. Isolations from infected material onto potato dextrose agar (PDA) supplemented with 0.5 mg/ml of streptomycin sulfate and Komada's medium consistently yielded Fusarium sp. cultures. The isolates were transferred to PDA and Spezieller Nährstoffarmer agar and incubated at 25°C for 10 days with a 12-h photoperiod. The cultures were identified as Fusarium circinatum Nirenberg & O'Donnell (= Fusarium subglutinans Wollenweb. & Reinking), causal agent of pitch canker disease, on basis of the presence of polyphialides and characteristic sterile, coiled, hyphae (2). To further confirm their identity, a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) based on histone H3 gene sequences (4) and a test based on the F. circinatum-specific primers, CIRC1A-CIRC4A, which amplifies a 360-bp DNA fragment of the intergenic spacer region of the nuclear ribosomal operon (3), were used. Results obtained with both techniques confirmed the morphological identification of the cultures. A representative culture has been placed in the Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures (CBS 117843). The pathogen was isolated only from seedlings of P. radiata and P. pinaster. Other species such as P. nigra, P. sylvestris, and Pseudotsuga menziesii, which were also grown in these nurseries, did not show symptoms. Pathogenicity was confirmed by inoculating 6- to 9-month-old P. radiata and P. pinaster seedlings. Small strips of bark (10 × 1 mm) were cut from the stems and similar sized pieces of PDA colonized by F. circinatum were placed in contact with the open wounds and covered with parafilm. Basal needle dieback was observed 10 days after inoculation that resulted in wilting of the seedlings. F. circinatum was reisolated from the affected stems fulfilling Koch's postulates. Later in the year, symptoms of pitch canker were also observed on 20-year-old P. radiata in one forest plantation in Cantabria (northern Spain). Infected branches and shoots of the trees exudated abundant resin, resulting in resinous cankers. The needles, distal to branch tip infections, wilt, fade to yellow then red, and fall from the tree. Affected trees showed noticeable crown dieback. The isolations from the cankers also yielded F. circinatum cultures that were identified as described above. Although a nonrefereed report appeared in 1998 (1), to our knowledge, this is the first report of F. circinatum on P. radiata and P. pinaster in Spain and in Europe. References: (1) L. D.

Abstract
In the present work, Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) processes in the Chorrito Stream, which flows into the Cobica River (Iberian Pyrite Belt, Southwest Spain) are characterized by means of clustering techniques based on fuzzy logic. Also, pH behavior in contrast to precipitation is clearly explained, proving that the influence of rainfall inputs on the acidity and, as a result, on the metal load of a riverbed undergoing AMD processes highly depends on the moment when it occurs. In general, the riverbed dynamic behavior is the response to the sum of instant stimuli produced by isolated rainfall, the seasonal memory depending on the moment of the target hydrological year and, finally, the own inertia of the river basin, as a result of an accumulation process caused by age-long mining activity.

Abstract
Approximately 15,000 ha of melon (Cucumis melo L.) are grown in the northeastern section of Brazil, mostly for export to Europe during the winter months. Surveys for melon vine decline diseases were carried out in farms in the municipalities of Mossoró (Rio Grande do Norte) and Quixeré (Ceará) during 2002 and 2003. Symptoms typical of vine decline were observed in several fields and included yellowing of crown leaves just prior to harvest and collapse of many of the vines. Affected plants exhibited necrotic root systems and lacked most of the secondary and tertiary feeder roots. Numerous perithecia were observed on roots which, when examined with a microscope, showed characteristic asci and ascospores of the fungus Monosporascus cannonballus Pollack & Uecker (2). Isolations were made from the crown region and primary and secondary roots of affected plants by excising 4- to 6-mm pieces that were surface sterilized for 30 to 60 s with 1.5% active chlorine solution. Seven tissue pieces from each plant part were placed on potato dextrose agar (PDA) containing 0.5 g liter-1 of streptomycin sulfate. Plates were examined daily for fungal growth for 7 days, and hyphal tips from all colonies were transferred to PDA for subsequent growth and sporulation. M. cannonballus was isolated from 50% of the root sections. All isolates produced only one ascospore per ascus. Pathogenicity of four isolates was confirmed in the greenhouse on the muskmelon cv. Temprano Rochet. Inoculum was produced in a sand-oat hulls (Avena sativa L.) medium (0.5 liter of sand, 46 g of ground oat hulls, and 37.5 ml of distilled water) and incubated at 25°C for 1 month. Colony forming units (CFU) were quantified by serial dilution using 1% hydroxyethyl cellulose. A sterilized mixture of equal portions (vol/vol) of sand and peat moss was used to fill plastic pots (17 cm in diameter), and inoculum was added to produce an inoculum concentration of 20 CFU g-1. Five melon seeds were planted in each pot and after germination, were thinned to one seedling per pot. There were five replicated pots for each treatment with an equal number of uninfested pots. Plants were evaluated for disease 45 days after sowing. Roots were exposed by carefully washing the potting mix away. All isolates of M. cannonballus tested were highly aggressive and caused severe root necrosis compared with the noninoculated control plants. M. cannonballus was reisolated from symptomatic plants, confirming Koch's postulates. Double cropping in the same fields for several years has created serious problems in Brazil, which are related to this soilborne pathogen that also causes root rot and vine decline of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai) worldwide (1). To our knowledge this is the first report of M. cannonballus in Brazil and South America. References: (1) R. D. Martyn and M. E. Miller. Plant Dis. 80:716, 1996.

Abstract
The presence of heavy metal concentrations was examined in surface sediments from 27 sites within the Odiel river in the southwest Spain suffering inputs from industrial and mining activities. The interest is specially focused on the final delta located in the Odiel Natural Park, which constitutes a feeding ground of international importance for migrating birds. The behavior of 10 heavy metals (Zn, Cd, Pb, Cu, Cr, Mn, Ni, Fe, Hg) is conditioned by chemical properties of sediments such as acidity and carbonate or the presence of sulfate Very acidic sediments in the medium course of river contribute to the lower presence of metal as a consequence of leaching process. However, tidal action raises the pH in the marshes of the delta with correlative metal accumulation. In accordance with the Müller [Umschan 79 (1979) 133-149] scale for geoaccumulation index, the entire watercourse could be considered polluted by Zn and Pb, while Cu exhibits a high presence in the delta marshes of the river.

Abstract
Zinc induces transition of a d(GA.CT)22 sequence to a novel DNA conformation, called *H-DNA. In this paper, the structural characteristics of this altered DNA conformation are determined. Formation of *H-DNA is induced at zinc concentrations higher than 70 microM (Zn/P = 2) and it is favoured by negative supercoiling and low ionic strength. Two different structural conformations of the d(GA.CT)22 sequence are observed upon increasing the zinc concentration. At low zinc concentration (Zn/P < 15), half of the purine strand falls back upon itself giving rise to the formation of an RRY intramolecular triplex (H*-triplex). At higher zinc concentration, the complete pyrimidine strand is single-stranded and an RR hairpin is formed (*H-hairpin). Protection towards dimethylsulphate modification suggests that zinc binds to the N-7 group of guanine residues in the *H-hairpin with a higher affinity than in B-DNA. The dissociation constant of the *H-zinc complex is estimated to be in the range of 10(-3) M to 10(-4) M.

Abstract
Repetitive d(CT.GA)n sequences are commonly found in eukaryotic genomic DNA. They are frequently located in sites involved in genetic recombination or in promoter regions. To test for their possible biological function, a d(CT.GA)22 synthetic sequence was introduced into the genome of SV40, since it constitutes an appropriate model system for eukaryotic chromatin. When SV40 infects permissive cells, it proliferates in the form of a minichromosome. The simple repetitive sequence indicated above was inserted at the unique HpaII site of SV40 (at nt 346), and the genomic stability of SV40 recombinants carrying the d(CT.GA)22 sequence (SV/CT22 viruses) was analyzed. Upon serial passage through permissive CV1 cells, SV/CT22 recombinants show an increased production of defective viruses. Generation of SV/CT22 variants is likely to take place via recombination between and within viral molecules. The enhancement of the rate of recombination induced by the repetitive sequence is likely to be related to its known propensity to form triple-stranded structures. Many different variants coexist in the same viral population indicating that the mechanism by which they are produced is not unique. One variant (SV/X), showing a replicative advantage, was characterized in detail. Variant SV/X accounts for a large proportion of the total viral population. Its genomic organization corresponds to a tandem duplication of an early SV40 DNA fragment spanning from approx. nt 3200-nt 160. Variant SV/X contains a duplicated SV40 ori.

Abstract
The homopyrimidine-homopurine sequence d(CT/GA)22 undergoes, in the presence of zinc ions, transition to an altered DNA conformation (*H-DNA) which is neither H-DNA nor B-DNA. *H-DNA is characterized by a peculiar chemical reactivity pattern in which most of the polypyrimidine strand is hyperreactive to osmium tetroxide and the central part of the polypurine strand is sensitive to diethylpyrocarbonate. Formation of *H-DNA is specific of metal-ion. *H-DNA is detected in the presence of Zn++, Cd++ and Mn++. The efficiency on promoting the transition is in the order of Zn++ greater than Cd++ much greater than Mn++. Formation of *H-DNA is also specific of nucleotide sequence. From all the different homopolymeric sequences tested only the d(CT/GA)22 sequence showed the zinc-induced transition to *H-DNA. These results suggest that stabilization of *H-DNA involves the formation of a specific complex between the metal-ion and the nucleotide sequence. The biological relevance of these results is discussed in view of the important role that zinc ions play on many nucleic acids processes.

Abstract
In this paper, we have analysed the conformational behaviour shown by the homopurine--homopyrimidine alternating d(GA.CT)22 sequence cloned into SV40. Our results show that, in the presence of zinc ions, the d(GA.CT)22 sequence adopts an altered secondary DNA structure (*H-DNA) which differs from either B-DNA or H-DNA. Formation of *H-DNA is facilitated by negative supercoiling and does not appear to require base protonation, since it is induced at neutral pH by approximately 0.4 mM ZnCl2. The patterns of OsO4 and DEPC modification obtained in the presence of zinc are compatible with a homopurine--homopurine--homopyridimine triplex, though other structural models for *H-DNA are also possible. The hypersensitivity to S1-cleavage of the d(GA.CT)22 sequence is reinterpreted in terms of the equilibria between the B-, H- and *H-forms of the sequence. These results reveal the high degree of structural polymorphism shown by homopurine-homopyrimidine sequences. Its biological relevance is discussed.

Abstract
The unsatisfactory dental health situation in the majority of the Latin American population, presently not covered by existing dental services, led to a serious questioning of the educational process directed to prepare human resources in dentistry. At the present time, many dental schools in Latin America are trying to find and implement new teaching methods, different curriculum patterns, and even seeking to define new professional and non-professional profiles, in order to meet the tremendous challenge that requires the formation of a different type of dental health personnel capable of introducing definite changes in the way dentistry is conceived and performed in order to cover the needs of a constantly growing population.
