Abstract
Cystinuria is a hereditary disorder caused by a defect in the apical membrane transport system for cystine and dibasic amino acids in renal proximal tubules and intestine, resulting in recurrent urolithiasis. Mutations in SLC3A1 and SLC7A9 genes, that codify for rBAT/b0,+AT transporter subunits, cause type A and B cystinuria, respectively. In humans, cystinuria treatment is based on the prevention of calculi formation and its dissolution or breakage. Persistent calculi are treated with thiols [i.e., d-penicillamine (DP) and mercaptopropionylglycine (MPG)] for cystine solubilization. We have developed a new protocol with DP to validate our Slc7a9 knockout mouse model for the study of the therapeutic effect of drugs in the treatment of cystine lithiasis. We performed a 5-wk treatment of individually caged lithiasic mutant mice with a previously tested DP dose. To appraise the evolution of lithiasis throughout the treatment a noninvasive indirect method of calculi quantification was developed: calculi mass was quantified by densitometry of X-ray images from cystinuric mice before and after treatment. Urine was collected in metabolic cage experiments to quantify amino acids in DP-treated and nontreated, nonlithiasic mutant mice. We found significant differences between DP-treated and nontreated knockout mice in calculi size and in urinary cystine excretion. Histopathological analysis showed that globally nontreated mutant mice had more severe and diffuse urinary system damage than DP-treated mice. Our results validate the use of this mouse model for testing the efficacy of potential new drugs against cystinuria.

Abstract
The platinum mixed-phosphine complexes (SP-4,2)-[PtCl(8-MTT)(PPh3)(PTA)] (2) and cis-[Pt(8-MTT)2(PPh3)(PTA)] (3) (MTTH2 = 8-(methylthio)theophylline, PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane) have been prepared from the precursor cis-[PtCl2(PPh3)(PTA)] (1), which has been fully characterized by X-ray diffraction determination. Antiproliferative activity tests indicated that the presence of one lipophilic PPh3 and one hydrophilic PTA makes 1-3 more active than the analogues bearing two PPh3 or two PTA. The reactivity of cis-[PtCl2(PPh3)2], cis-[PtCl2(PTA)2], and cis-[PtCl2(PPh3)(PTA)] with the bis(thiopurines) bis(S-8-thiotheophylline)methane (MBTTH2), 1,2-bis(S-8-thiotheophylline)ethane (EBTTH2), and 1,3-bis(S-8-thiotheophylline)propane (PBTTH2) has also been investigated. New binuclear complexes have been prepared and identified by spectroscopic techniques and their antiproliferative activities on T2 and SKOV3 cell lines evaluated.

Abstract
A survey was carried out to investigate the presence of cranial helminths in 337 American minks (Mustela vison) from Spain. This information was obtained partly in order to evaluate potential conservation problems and sanitary risks to the congeneric European mink (Mustela lutreola), one of the most endangered carnivores in the world. Skulls and rectal faeces of each specimen were simultaneously analysed. Troglotrema acutum and Skrjabingylus nasicola were found in 5.6% of the M. vison analysed. No cranial lesions were seen in any of the examined skulls. The finding of both helminths in Spanish free-living M. vison specimens enlarges their natural definitive host spectrum in Western Europe. One relatively important focus of T. acutum in M. vison was detected (30.4%) in the Spanish Alava province while S. nasicola was found to be very infrequent. The suitability of both analytical methods was assessed in order to know to what degree coprological analysis reflects the real prevalence of cranial helminths in this host. It is possible to conclude that coprological analysis can be used instead of necropsies to analyse the possible incidence of pathogenic cranial helminths in mustelids. This aspect is very important and useful when trying to analyse the helminthological status of endangered species such as the native mink (M. lutreola) particularly in areas where both congeneric species are present and strict competition occurs.

Abstract
Cystinuria is a common recessive disorder of renal reabsorption of cystine and dibasic amino acids that results in urolithiasis of cystine. Cystinuria is caused by defects in the amino acid transport system b0,+ (i.e. the rBAT/b0,+AT heteromeric complex). Mutations in SLC3A1, encoding rBAT, cause cystinuria type A, characterized by a silent phenotype in heterozygotes (phenotype I). Mutations in SLC7A9, encoding b0,+AT, cause cystinuria type B, in which heterozygotes in most cases hyperexcrete cystine and dibasic amino acids (phenotype non-I). To facilitate in vivo investigation of b0,+AT in cystinuria, Slc7a9 knockout mice have been generated. Expression of b0,+AT protein is completely abolished in the kidney of Slc7a9-/- mice ('Stones'). In contrast, Stones expressed significant amounts of rBAT protein, which is covalently linked to unidentified light subunit(s). Stones mice present a dramatic hyperexcretion of cystine and dibasic amino acids, while Slc7a9+/- mice show moderate but significant hyperexcretion of these amino acids (phenotype non-I). Forty-two per cent of Stones mice develop cystine calculi in the urinary system. Calculi develop during the first month of life and grow throughout the life span of the animals. Histopathology in kidney reveals typical changes for urolithiasis (tubular and pelvic dilatation, tubular necrosis, tubular hyaline droplets and chronic interstitial nephritis). The fact that some Stones mice, generated in a mixed genetic background, develop cystine calculi from an early age, while others do not develop them in their first year of life, suggests the involvement of modifier genes in the lithiasis phenotype. Thus, Stones provide a valid model of cystinuria which can be used in the study of genetic, pharmacological and environmental factors involved in cystine urolithiasis.

Abstract
The present study was undertaken to determine if red foxes are natural intermediate and/or definitive host for Neospora caninum and to study the importance of infection of N. caninum in this species in North-eastern Spain. Faecal samples and brain tissues were obtained from 122 foxes from 21 rural areas of Catalonia. Faeces collected were examined for parasite eggs and coccidian oocysts using sucrose flotation. For PCR-based diagnosis of N. caninum in brain tissues, the specific genomic Nc5 region was selected as the target sequence for DNA amplification. To control for PCR failure and facilitate identification of truly negative samples, the competitor pNc5C molecule was added to all negative samples in a second round of PCR reactions. Of the 122 foxes analysed, 13 (10.7%) were positive by PCR for N. caninum. Signal intensities of all positive samples were relatively weak with the exception of one sample from a 3-month male animal, that also showed the highest repeatability. No differences were observed by sex, age or area of sampling analysis. Detection of stages of N. caninum in brain from naturally infected red foxes demonstrated that red foxes are a natural intermediate host for N. caninum. Faecal samples were analysed for the presence of N. caninum oocysts, however, no oocysts compatible with N. caninum were found. A widespread latent infection of red foxes in North-eastern Spain found in the present study indicates that red foxes could have a very important role in the epidemiology of neosporosis in our area.

Abstract
Serious declines in populations of native European mink (Mustela lutreola) have occurred in Europe. One responsible factor may be infectious diseases introduced by exotic American mink (Mustela vison). In order to investigate a possible role for Aleutian mink disease parvovirus (ADV), we surveyed native riparian carnivores and feral American mink. When serum samples from 12 free-ranging European and 16 feral American mink were tested, antibodies to ADV were detected from three of nine European mink. ADV DNA was detected by polymerase chain reaction in whole cell DNA from four of seven carcasses; two American mink, one European mink and a Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra). Lesions typical of Aleutian disease were present in one of the American mink. A portion of the ADV VP2 capsid gene was sequenced and the results suggested that two sequence types of ADV were circulating in Spain, and that the Spanish ADVs differed from other described isolates from North America and Europe. Future conservation and restoration efforts should include measures to avoid introduction or spread of ADV infection to native animals.

Abstract
Metastasis is a highly complex process involving the survival of tumor cells, both in the blood stream and within specific organs. Cell-death and survival are determined by a number of gene products from an expanding family of the Bcl-2 gene, either promoting or preventing apoptosis. Furthermore, the survival of tumor cells may favor the accumulation of additional genetic alterations causing further growth and invasive opportunities which may lead to metastasis. To examine whether the prevention of cell-death influences the metastatic behavior, we transfected a human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-435 with the Bcl-xL cDNA and then studied metastatic ability of the selected clones in vivo. Our results show that Bcl-xL-clones had a decreased tumor growth latency and an increased metastatic ability. Apoptosis-resistance to cytokines was induced in 435 cells by Bcl-xL-expression with minor modifications in their proliferation rates. These cells also showed diminished adhesion to extracellular matrix proteins and a survival advantage in suspension over 435/Neo cells. Moreover, to determine survival in blood stream and in cells lodged in the lungs, we injected 435/Bcl-xL and 435/Neo cells at 1:3 proportion i.v., and animals were killed at intervals of 15' to 16 h after injection. Tumor cells were recovered from the lungs and Southern-blot analysis revealed the presence of exogenous Bcl-xL cDNA. These results showed that 435/Bcl-xL cells had a survival advantage in circulation over 435/Neo cells. This advantage in vivo was attributable to Bcl-xL expression. We conclude that Bcl-xL expression in breast cancer cells can increase metastatic activity. This advantage could be created by inducing resistance to apoptosis against cytokines, increasing cell survival in circulation, and enhancing anchorage-independent growth.

Abstract
Expression of the death-related proteins (DRPs) Bcl-2, Bax, Bcl-x and Bak that regulate cell survival and death was examined using immuno-histochemical methods in a group of 142 T1 (<2 cm) ductal breast carcinomas. Immunostaining results were correlated with loss of apoptosis and clinicopathological parameters such as histological grade (HG) and lymph node involvement. Expression of anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-x was found in 57.0% and 62.75% of tumors, respectively. Bcl-2 expression, but not Bcl-x expression, was related to loss of apoptosis. Expression of the apoptotic proteins Bax and Bak was present in 58% of Bcl-2-negative tumors and associated significantly with an increase in apoptosis. Expression of these DRPs was associated significantly with the HG of the tumors: Bcl-2 and Bak expression was predominant in HG I/II tumors, whereas expression of Bcl-xL and Bax was commonly observed in HG III tumors, as occurs for p53 over-expression. Our results suggest that the loss or gain of apoptosis is regulated tightly in T1 breast carcinomas through the expression of different effectors along with tumor cell differentiation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to evaluate cerebral maturity by means of quantitative analysis techniques applied to the electroencephalogram (EEG). MATERIAL AND METHODS A transversal study of cerebral maturity was carried out in 403 persons who had undergone an EEG. A previous pilot study had been carried out of 103 persons. A series of spectral parameters of the EEG were selected so that all those studied were in the most similar conditions possible. Different frequency bands were analyzed choosing the one with best discrimination of the maturity aspect. Classification of the different levels of cerebral maturity was done with the help of multivariant analysis. The value of the median of the frequencies and the spectrum of relative potencies at the moment when a frequency band is at a maximum are the parameters which evolve best with age and best discriminate maturity Spectral analysis allows selection of the frequency bands most suitable to the problem. Working with two frequency bands is sufficient to evaluate cerebral maturity. RESULTS The variables obtained in the occipital channels were sufficient for evaluation of cerebral maturity. Those of the right hemisphere were more significant for diagnosis. The occipital channels are the most relevant in the study of cerebral maturity. CONCLUSIONS The neuronal network is the most efficient classifier for classification of different groups of maturity The next most efficient method is by quadratic discriminant analysis. Consideration of the variables, taking into account the factors of stability and regularity of the EEG signals improves discrimination with respect to the average of those recorded during the entire procedure.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE The aim of this job is to evaluate brain maturation by means of Electroencephalogram (EEG) and Visual Evoked Potentials stimulated with flash (VEP-flash) quantitative analysis techniques. MATERIAL AND METHODS The transversal study is made on a sample of 96 subjects in which EEG and VEP-flash, first isolated and then joining both, are analyzed. The selection of spectral parameters was done taking care of all the subjects were selected in the sense of maximizing brain maturation discrimination. Multivariate analysis techniques for classifying subjects were used. EEG and VEP-flash variables were selected with the linear discriminant analysis. In the EEG case the variables take into account, as a reference, either the median of the power spectrum or either the time instant in which the spectral power in every band reaches its maximum value. In the joined EEG-VEP-flash the VEP variables which give more information were related with the slopes and distances between the basic peaks of the evoked response (N1, P1 and N2) and age. For brain maturation evaluation the variables in the occipital channels are sufficient, being those of the right hemisphere the most diagnostic significative ones. CONCLUSION The joined use of EEG and VEP-flash means an improvement in the maturative level discrimination regarding to the isolated consideration of any of them. Variables obtained from the EEG-VEP-flash are enough for brain maturation evaluation.

Abstract
Quantitative electroencephalographic (EEG) signal analysis has revealed itself as an important diagnostic tool in the last few years. Through the use of signal processing techniques, new quantitative representations of EEG data are obtained. To automate the diagnosis, a problem of supervised classification must be solved on these. Artificial Neural Networks provide an alternative to more traditional classifier systems for this task. The objective of this paper is to perform a comparison between several classifiers in a particular problem, the brain maturation prediction. The data preprocessing/feature extraction process and the methodology for making the comparison are described. Performance of the methods is evaluated in terms of estimated percentage of correctly classified subjects.
