Abstract
BACKGROUND During pregnancy, immunological and hormonal alterations place women at increased risk for influenza-related severe illnesses including hospitalization and death. Although A(H1N1) pdm09 infection resulted in increased disease severity in pregnant women, the precise mechanisms responsible for this risk have yet to be established. OBJECTIVES The present study was aimed to investigate the role of host chemokines and cytokine profiles in A(H1N1) pdm09 infection regarding disease severity in pregnant women. STUDY DESIGN This retrospective survey examined 41 pregnant women with confirmed A(H1N1) pdm09 infection. Of them, 12 died (D), 29 survived (S), and 17 remained uninfected and served as controls (C). Antiviral response was evaluated for IFN-β expression and gene expression profiles of cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-12, TGF-β) and chemokines (IL-8, RANTES, MCP-1, IP-10), and the viral Matrix (M1) gene was quantified and normalized using the housekeeping gene product β-actin mRNA. RESULTS Higher IL-8 and TNF-α mRNA expression were found in D and S compared with C, while IL-6 showed higher expression in D. Interestingly, these results were associated with a decrease in the anti-inflammatory response of TGF-β mRNA and IFN-β. These alterations would lead to an imbalance in the immune response of those patients. CONCLUSIONS Pregnancy-related reductions in IFN-β and TGF-β expression levels and elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines could explain the increased severity of infection and death of pregnant women. These findings may help improve the understanding of the high susceptibility and disease severity to influenza virus infection during pregnancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Oral mucosa shortage may limit or condition some clinical approaches in maxillofacial, periodontal and implant treatment. The availability of a human oral mucosa model generated by tissue engineering could help clinicians to address the lack of oral mucosa. In this work, we carried out a sequential maturation and differentiation study of the epithelial cell layer of an artificial human oral mucosa substitute based on fibrin-agarose biomaterials with fibroblasts and keratinocytes. MATERIAL AND METHODS Histological, immunohistochemical and gene expression analyses were carried out in artificial human oral mucosa models developed and cultured for 1, 2 and 3 wk. RESULTS Artificial oral mucosa models showed expression of tight junction proteins and cytokeratins from the first week of in vitro development. Mature samples of 3 wk of development subjected to air-liquid conditions showed signs of epithelial differentiation and expressed specific RNAs and proteins corresponding to adherent and gap junctions and basement lamina. Moreover, these mature samples overexpressed some desmosomal and tight junction transcripts, with gap junction components being downregulated. CONCLUSION These results suggest that bioengineered human oral mucosa substitutes form a well-developed epithelial layer that was very similar to human native tissues. In consequence, the epithelial layer could be fully functional in these oral mucosa substitutes, thus implying that these tissues may have clinical usefulness.

Abstract
The human ATRX gene encodes hATRX, a chromatin-remodeling protein harboring an helicase/ATPase and ADD domains. The ADD domain has two zinc fingers that bind to histone tails and mediate hATRX binding to chromatin. dAtrx, the putative ATRX homolog in Drosophila melanogaster, has a conserved helicase/ATPase domain but lacks the ADD domain. A bioinformatic search of the Drosophila genome using the human ADD sequence allowed us to identify the CG8290 annotated gene, which encodes three ADD harboring- isoforms generated by alternative splicing. This Drosophila ADD domain is highly similar in structure and in the amino acids which mediate the histone tail contacts to the ADD domain of hATRX as shown by 3D modeling. Very recently the CG8290 annotated gene has been named dadd1. We show through pull-down and CoIP assays that the products of the dadd1 gene interact physically with dAtrxL and HP1a and all of them mainly co-localize in the chromocenter, although euchromatic localization can also be observed through the chromosome arms. We confirm through ChIP analyses that these proteins are present in vivo in the same heterochromatic regions. The three isoforms are expressed throughout development. Flies carrying transheterozygous combinations of the dadd1 and atrx alleles are semi-viable and have different phenotypes including the appearance of melanotic masses. Interestingly, the dAdd1-b and c isoforms have extra domains, such as MADF, which suggest newly acquired functions of these proteins. These results strongly support that, in Drosophila, the atrx gene diverged and that the dadd1-encoded proteins participate with dAtrx in some cellular functions such as heterochromatin maintenance.

Abstract
Angioedema refers to a localized, transient swelling of the deep skin layers or the upper respiratory or gastrointestinal mucosa. It develops as a result of mainly two different vasoactive peptides, histamine or bradykinin. Pathophysiology, as well as treatment, is different in each case; nevertheless, the resulting signs and symptoms may be similar and difficult to distinguish. Angioedema may occur at any location. When the affected area involves the upper respiratory tract, both forms of angioedema can lead to an imminent upper airway obstruction and a life-threatening emergency. Emergency physicians must have a basic understanding of the pathophysiology underlying this process. Angioedema evaluation in the emergency department (ED) should aim to distinguish between histamine- and bradykinin-induced angioedema, in order to provide appropriate treatment to patients. However, diagnostic methods are not available at the ED setting, neither to confirm one mechanism or the other, nor to identify a cause. For this reason, the management of angioedema should rely on clinical data depending on the particular features of the episode and the patient in each case. The history-taking should be addressed to identify a possible etiology or triggering agent, recording complete information for an ulterior diagnostic study in the outpatient clinic. It is mandatory quickly to recognize and treat a potential life-threatening upper airway obstruction or anaphylaxis. This review focuses on the underlying mechanisms and management of histamine- and bradykinin-induced angioedema at the emergency department and provides an update on the currently available treatments.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To report a case of premacular hemorrhage treated with Neodymium (Nd):YAG laser puncture. CASE REPORT A 54 year-old Caucasian female was seen in the emergency department with complaints of sudden loss of vision in her right eye (RE), detected on the previous day. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in the RE was reduced to light perception, and fundoscopy evidenced a large and dense premacular hemorrhage. An Nd:YAG laser puncture was performed that day to drain the hemorrhage into the vitreous cavity. The intravitreal hemorrhage cleared in about 1 month, and the BCVA of the RE was 20/25 after 3 months.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic disease of the connective tissue, whose pathogenesis involves abnormalities of the immunological system. It has a variable course and there is a subgroup of patients with rapidly progressive disease or unresponsive to conventional treatment. These patients can benefit from intensive immunosuppression and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant. CLINICAL CASE 19-year-old (y.o.) woman diagnosed with SSc at the age of 13 y.o. with cutaneous, vascular and articular involvement with initial response to methotrexate. Three years later the disease progressed with severe digestive involvement (dysphagia, delayed gastric emptying and weight loss) needing gastrostomy for nutritional support. She was treated with cyclophosphamide without improvement In May 2012 she had an autologous transplant with myeloablative regimen (BEAM): carmustine 300 mg/m2x1 day; etoposido 120 mg/kgx4 days; cytarabine 120 mg/kg 12/12:hx4 days; melphalan 140 mg/m2x1 day. A year and a half after transplantation she is asymptomatic, without any signs or symptoms of the disease, feeds by mouth and the gastric emptying study is normal. Currently she is free of medication.

Abstract
I.v. BU is frequently used in the conditioning regimen prior to allogeneic hematopoietic SCT (allo-HSCT); however, overall outcomes, incidence of hepatic sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (SOS) and its risk factors are not well known. With this aim, we performed a study on 257 AML adult recipients. Seattle Criteria were used for diagnosis and classification of SOS. The median age was 44 years. Donors were HLA-identical siblings in 60%, HLA-matched unrelated in 29% and HLA mismatched in 11%. Conditioning regimen was myeloablative in 84% (i.v. BU with CY was the most frequently used regimen) and it was reduced intensity in 16% (i.v. BU associated with fludarabine). Acute and chronic GVHD was observed in 28% and 44%, respectively. Two-year incidence of non-relapse mortality was 16±2% and 2-year leukemia-free survival for patients in CR1, CR2 and non remission at HSCT were 55±4%, 58±7%, and 20±5%, respectively. At 6 months, incidence of SOS was 7.8±2%; and it was severe in eight patients (3%). Factors associated with the occurrence of SOS were: HLA-mismatched donor HSCT (P=0.002) and patients transplanted in non-remission (P=0.002). In conclusion, outcomes of HSCT using i.v. BU are encouraging in this setting, SOS incidence is low and it is influenced by the type of donor and disease status at the time of transplant.

Abstract
BACKGROUND GH release after stimuli classifies short children as severe idiopathic isolated GH deficiency (IIGHD), mild IIGHD, dissociated GH release (DGHR) and normal GH release (NGHR) and anthropometric birth data as adequate for gestational age (AGA) or small for gestational age (SGA). GH release after stimuli classifies AGA patients as IIGHD or as idiopathic short stature (ISS). AIM To compare height gain induced by GH therapy (31.8 ± 3.5 µg/kg/day, 7.7 ± 1.6 years) started at prepubertal age and stopped at near adult-height age. METHODS A retrospective longitudinal multicenter study including 184 short patients classified as severe IIGHD n = 25, mild IIGHD n = 75, DGHR n = 55 and NGHR n = 29; or as IIGHD n = 78, ISS n = 57 and SGA n = 49. Height gain was evaluated throughout GH therapy and at adult-height age. RESULTS Height-SDS gain at adult-height age was similar among severe IIGHD (1.8 ± 0.8 SDS), mild IIGHD (1.6 ± 0.6 SDS), DGHR (1.7 ± 0.7 SDS) and NGHR (1.6 ± 0.7 SDS), or among IIGHD (1.7 ± 0.7 SDS), ISS (1.7 ± 0.6 SDS) and SGA (1.6 ± 0.8 SD). CONCLUSION GH-release stimuli are of little help for deciding on GH therapy in the clinical management of prepubertal children with IIGHD, ISS or SGA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Retroperitoneal schwannoma is a rare nerve sheath tumor; the surgical removal of this tumor is sometimes compromised by its location. The aim of this study is to analyze our experience with the diagnosis and treatment of this type of tumor. METHOD We present our experience between 1999 and 2011 in the diagnosis and treatment of retroperitoneal schwannoma. During that time, we diagnosed and treated five female patients (four adults and one infant) with the condition. The tumors appeared sporadically and were not associated with neurofibromatosis or other syndromes. Diagnosis was performed by computed tomography (CT) imaging in four cases and by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in one case. RESULTS All patients underwent surgical treatment and complete resection of the lesion. An open resection was performed in four cases, and in the most recent case, the excision was conducted laparoscopically. In all of the cases, the histological diagnosis was retroperitoneal schwannoma, and in one case, there was a melanocytic variant that was not associated with Carney syndrome. At the time of this report, there has been no evidence of recurrence. CONCLUSION Retroperitoneal schwannoma is a tumor that is difficult to diagnose with imaging techniques, and because of its localization, the tumor is difficult to remove surgically.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Mexican population is aging, which makes the fact that there is no regional information on the health of the elderly, including those in the northern region of the country. OBJECTIVE To examine nutritional, functional, and cognitive impairments, as well as depression, in non-institutionalized elderly Mexicans along Mexico's northern border. DESIGN Observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS AND MEASUREMENTS Demographic and anthropometric measurements were screened and the following scales were applied among 760 elderly individuals in Chihuahua, Mexico: Katz index (for activities of daily living, ADL), the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), the Yesavage (depression), and the Pffeifer (cognitive decline). RESULTS 7% prevalence of malnutrition, a 18% prevalence of functional disability, a 44% prevalence of depressive symptoms, a 33% prevalence of cognitive impairment, and a risk of disease in almost half the population, without differences between genders. Malnutrition, functional disability, and cognitive impairment increased with age (P <0.001). Functional disability, depression, and cognitive impairment also increased the risk of malnutrition 3.0, 2.9 and 1.4 times (P <0.005). Other factors that may affect nutritional status included isolated living and illiteracy. CONCLUSION Levels of malnutrition, functional disability, depression and cognitive impairment are higher than those reported previously and are closely related to one another, so detecting alterations in primary care is important in order to improve quality of life and reduce complications.
