Abstract
Low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is associated with an increased risk of developing abdominal obesity (AO), but it is not known if and/or how changes in CRF affect AO. We examined the relationship between changes in CRF and the risk of developing AO. This is a retrospective observational study of a cohort of 1883 sedentary patients, who had participated in a clinical trial of physical activity promotion carried out in Spain (2003-2007). These data were not used in the clinical trial. At baseline, they were free of cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and/or AO; with an indirect VO2max measurement; 19-80 years old; and 62% were women. All the measures were repeated at 6, 12, and 24 months. The exposure factor was the change in CRF at 6 or 12 months, categorized in these groups: unfit-unfit, unfit-fit, fit-unfit, and fit-fit. We considered fit and unfit participants as those with VO2max values in the high tertile, and in the moderate or low tertiles, respectively. The main outcome measure was the risk of developing AO at one and two years, as defined by waist circumference >102 (men) and >88 (women) cm. At two years, 10.5% of the participants had developed AO: 13.5% in the unfit-unfit group of change at 6 months; 10.3% in the unfit-fit group (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 0.86; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.49-1.52); 2.6% in the fit-unfit group (AOR 0.13; 95%CI 0.03-0.61); and 6.0% in the fit-fit group (AOR 0.47; 95%CI 0.26-0.84). Those who stayed fit at 6 months decreased the probability of developing abdominal obesity at two years.

Abstract
The dietary behaviour of pregnant women, as well as the socio-cultural conditions in which pregnancy takes place, influence obstetric outcomes. To analyse the influence of socioeconomic factors and dietary habits on obstetric outcomes in Spanish and foreign pregnant women living in a rural environment, a population-based, prospective-observational study in a cohort of Spanish and foreign pregnant women in the town of Yepes, in the province of Toledo, Spain was conducted. Foreign pregnant women are ecodependent on their partners, have secondary education and low socioeconomic level. Spanish pregnant women have secondary education, a medium socio-economic level, live with their partners and are economically independent. Moreover, 85% of Spanish pregnant women gave birth at term and reached a gestational age of 40 ± 1.83 weeks. However, only 55% of foreign pregnant women reached a gestational age of 39.72 ± 2.28 weeks. Through health education, pregnant women in this geographical area of Castilla la Mancha, Spain, adopted bicultural dietary patterns, thus reaching the prescribed diet of 2000 Kcal. Through this diet, both Spanish and foreign pregnant women maintained albumin and plasma protein levels within the established range, with no significant differences in obstetric outcomes among pregnant women in the study.

Abstract
Spa mineral waters are used for the treatment of chronic diseases' symptoms. Anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-ageing and tissue repair effects have been attributed to them. This work seeks to improve knowledge about the effect of spa mineral waters on human cells. For this, human lung fibroblasts were treated with mineral waters from Ledesma, Paracuellos and Archena spas, three Spanish health resorts with different water chemical composition. A significant increase of cell proliferation together with an enhanced antioxidant capacity (reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, glutathione levels and superoxide dismutase activity) in mineral water-treated fibroblasts compared to control fibroblasts was observed. Moreover, cytokine profiling revealed an increase in the release of MIF, IL-6, CL-1, CCL-5 and ICAM-1, which are described as mediators in proliferation, wound healing and cell migration processes. In conclusion, our results could be in line with the effects attributed to spa mineral waters in wound healing strategies and oxidative damage protection.

Abstract
With the completion of the human genome sequence, biomedical sciences have entered in the “omics” era, mainly due to high-throughput genomics techniques and the recent application of mass spectrometry to proteomics analyses. However, there is still a time lag between these technological advances and their application in the clinical setting. Our work is designed to build bridges between high-performance proteomics and clinical routine. Protein extracts were obtained from fresh frozen normal lung and non-small cell lung cancer samples. We applied a phosphopeptide enrichment followed by LC-MS/MS. Subsequent label-free quantification and bioinformatics analyses were performed. We assessed protein patterns on these samples, showing dozens of differential markers between normal and tumor tissue. Gene ontology and interactome analyses identified signaling pathways altered on tumor tissue. We have identified two proteins, PTRF/cavin-1 and MIF, which are differentially expressed between normal lung and non-small cell lung cancer. These potential biomarkers were validated using western blot and immunohistochemistry. The application of discovery-based proteomics analyses in clinical samples allowed us to identify new potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets in non-small cell lung cancer.

Abstract
To study the role of c-Src in breast cancer tumorigenesis, we generated a cell line derived from MCF7 carrying an inducible dominant negative c-Src (c-SrcDN: K295M/Y527F) under tetracycline control (Tet-On system). c-SrcDN expression caused phenotypic changes, relocation of c-Src, Fak, and paxillin, and loss of correct actin fiber assembly. These alterations were coupled to increased Fak-Tyr(397) autophosphorylation and to inhibition of Fak-Tyr(925), p130(CAS), and paxillin phosphorylation. An increased association of total Src with Fak and a decreased interaction of p130(CAS) and p85-PI3K with Fak were also observed. SrcDN inhibited cell attachment, spreading, and migration. Serum and EGF-induced stimulation of cell proliferation and Akt phosphorylation were also significantly reduced by SrcDN, whereas p27(Kip1) expression was increased. Consistently, silencing c-Src expression by siRNA in MCF7 cells significantly reduced cell migration, attachment, spreading and proliferation. Inoculation of MCF7 cells carrying inducible SrcDN to nude mice generated tumors. However, doxycycline administration to mice significantly reduced tumorigenesis, and when doxycycline treatment was installed after tumor development, a significant tumor regression was observed. In both situations, inhibition of tumorigenesis was associated with decreased Ki67 staining and increased apoptosis in tumors. These data undoubtedly demonstrate the relevance of the Src/Fak complex in breast cancer tumorigenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND METHODS In the search for new factors of cardiovascular risk associated to diabetes mellitus (DM), special attention has been paid in recent years to hyperhomocysteinaemia. Therefore, we have established the concentration of homocysteine (Hcy) and other biochemical parameters in the plasma of a group of 57 type 1 and 32 type 2 diabetic patients and 54 control subjects and studied whether plasmatic homocysteinaemia was related to macroangiopathy, nephropathy, retinopathy and neuropathy. Because of significant differences for plasma Hcy values between men and women in the control group, we distinguished between both groups throughout the study. RESULTS Patients with DM had higher Hcy than control subjects (11.7+/-5.4 vs. 10.1+/-2.4 micromol/l, p<0.05). Fasting hyperhomocysteinaemia was considered as the mean of the plasma Hcy for control subjects+2 SD (14.9 micromol/l in total group, 15.6 micromol/l in males and 13.9 micromol/l in females). In the studied groups with complications, we found significant differences between normohomocysteinaemic type 1 diabetic patients and those considered hyperhomocysteinaemic by us. On the other hand, patients having type 1 DM and complications had higher plasmatic Hcy concentration than those with no complications. CONCLUSIONS We have found a relationship between high Hcy levels and prevalence of macroangiopathy, retinopathy and nephropathy in the type 1 diabetic patients, which was not been observed in the type 2 diabetic patients of our study. As a result, we consider plasmatic Hcy a complication-risk indicator in type 1 DM, and we recommend its use together with already established biochemical parameters in the control of the evolution of the disease.
