Abstract
BACKGROUND The standard treatment of T2-T3ab,N0,M0 rectal cancers is total mesorectal excision (TME) due to the high recurrence rates recorded with local excision. Initial reports of the combination of pre-operative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) have shown reductions in local recurrence. The TAU-TEM study aims to demonstrate the non-inferiority of local recurrence and the improvement in morbidity achieved with CRT-TEM compared with TME. Here we describe morbidity rates and pathological outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a prospective, multicentre, randomised controlled non-inferiority trial including patients with rectal adenocarcinoma staged as T2-T3ab,N0,M0. Patients were randomised to the CRT-TEM or the TME group. Patients included, tolerance of CRT and its adverse effects, surgical complications (Clavien-Dindo and Comprehensive Complication Index classifications) and pathological results (complete response in the CRT-TEM group) were recorded in both groups. Patients attended follow-up controls for local and systemic relapse. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT01308190. RESULTS From July 2010 to October 2021, 173 patients from 17 Spanish hospitals were included (CRT-TEM: 86, TME: 87). Eleven were excluded after randomisation (CRT-TEM: 5, TME: 6). Modified intention-to-treat analysis thus included 81 patients in each group. There was no mortality after CRT. In the CRT-TEM group, one patient abandoned CRT, 1/81 (1.2%). The CRT-related morbidity rate was 29.6% (24/81). Post-operative morbidity was 17/82 (20.7%) in the CRT-TEM group and 41/81 (50.6%) in the TME group (P < 0.001, 95% confidence interval 42.9% to 16.7%). One patient died in each group (1.2%). Of the 81 patients in the CRT-TEM group who received the allocated treatment, 67 (82.7%) underwent organ preservation. Pathological complete response in the CRT-TEM group was 44.3% (35/79). In the TME group, pN1 were found in 17/81 (21%). CONCLUSION CRT-TEM treatment obtains high pathological complete response rates (44.3%) and a high CRT compliance rate (98.8%). Post-operative complications and hospitalisation rates were significantly lower than those in the TME group. We await the results of the follow-up regarding cancer outcomes and quality of life.

Abstract
We describe an experimental system based on optical microscopy, permitting the analysis of the four dimensional structure of the flow inside evaporating sessile droplets by monitoring the motion of tracers in horizontal planes localized at different heights. Inter-plane particle identification is accomplished via 3D tracking algorithms. The multiple plane observation is achieved using a piezoelectric device to make the microscope objective oscillate vertically, while a high-speed camera captures images. The droplet evaporation process lasts several minutes and greatly accelerates as the fluid advances toward complete evaporation. In order to capture the dynamics of the whole process, two cameras with the same optical output but different temporal resolution are used sequentially. Using image processing algorithms, we obtain the full trajectories of multiple tracers, velocities of particles on the free surface of the droplets, and velocity fields. The information available may be used to understand the geometry of the sedimentation pattern.

Abstract
Introduction: Besides the well-known increased risk of developing HIV-related infectious comorbidities; compared with the general population, people living with HIV (PLHIV) may also have an increased risk of developing noninfectious comorbidities (NICMs). This is the first study intended to determine the NICMs rates affecting PLHIV who were under cART regimen in Ecuador. Methods: A total of 503 HIV-positive patients were evaluated during the period June 2015-November 2016 and included in a multicenter retrospective, cross-sectional study conducted in seven main government and nongovernment community-based hospitals in Ecuador. Results: The average age of the participants was 39.2±11.9 years old and the majority of them were male (67.2%). The average age at HIV diagnosis was 34.1 years old and cART in average was started 15.9 months after HIV-diagnosis. Recruited patients were receiving cART for an average of 59.2±40.2 months. Only 9.9% (n=50) of the patients did not show any NICMs. Diabetes and pre-diabetes was found in 6% (n=30) and 16.3% (n=82) patients, respectively; however, dyslipidemia and overweight/obesity was frequent, as they affected 41.4% (n=208) and 36.4% (n=183) patients, respectively. Sixty patients (11.9%) were diagnosed with depression and 28.2% (n=142) of the studied subjects were found to have other NICMs. Conclusion: Prevalence of NICMs among subjects under cART was greater than that reported among the Ecuadorian general population, therefore specific public health actions are required to make patients aware of and prevent NICMs among PLHIV in Ecuador.

Abstract
In this work, gold nanoparticles protected by the macrocycle cucurbit[7]uril were used as a catalyst in the reduction of the hazardous antimicrobial nitrofurantoin. 4-Nitrophenol was also employed as the substrate of the reduction for comparative purposes. The kinetic data were modeled to the Langmuir-Hinshelwood equation to know the affinities of the reactants for the surface and the real kinetic constants, a comparison at the molecular level that is made for the first time. From the results, it was observed that the adsorption of nitrofurantoin was stronger than that of 4-nitrophenol whilst the kinetic constant on the surface was higher for 4-nitrophenol than for nitrofurantoin. Additionally, shifts in the nanoparticle surface plasmon band permitted insights to be obtained into the adsorption rate and strength. The reaction induction times were also investigated and were highly dependent on the borohydride concentration and, due to the higher surface affinity of nitrofurantoin compared with 4-nitrophenol, an increase in nitrofurantoin concentration increased the induction time, while a lag phase was not observed for 4-nitrophenol.

Abstract
A divergent selection experiment for intramuscular fat (IMF) of LM at 9 wk of age was performed in rabbits. The objective of this work was to compare the lipid metabolism in muscles and fat tissues of the high-IMF and low-IMF lines. Lipogenic, catabolic, and lipolytic activities were studied in 2 muscles with different oxidative patterns (LM and semimembranosus proprius) and in the perirenal fat depot at 2 ages, 9 and 13 wk. In addition, adipocytes were characterized in perirenal fat. In the fifth generation, direct response to selection was 0.26 g IMF/100 g muscle. Lines showed differences in their lipogenic activities of muscles and fat tissues at 13 wk but not at 9 wk. The high-IMF line showed greater glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), malic enzyme (EM), and fatty acid synthase (FAS) activities in LM than the low-IMF line, with probabilities = 1.00, 0.93, and 0.90, respectively. Differences between lines were particularly great for G6PDH activity, representing 1.13 SD. The high-IMF line also showed greater G6PDH and FAS activities in semimembranosus proprius (P = 0.98 for G6PDH and 0.95 for FAS) and perirenal fat (P = 0.91 for G6PDH and 0.96 for FAS). However, in perirenal fat, EM activity was greater in the low-IMF line (P = 0.90). No differences between lines were found in almost any catabolic or lipolytic activities of muscles. Regarding adipocyte characteristics, the high-IMF line showed larger adipocytes in perirenal fat depot tissue (P = 0.97) compared to the low-IMF line, but no differences between lines were observed in the number of adipocytes. This study sheds light on the metabolic activities involved in the genetic differentiation of lipid deposition in rabbits. This study shows that lipogenic activities in muscles and fat tissues, in particular G6PDH in LM, are involved in the lipid accumulation in muscle and adipose tissues.

Abstract
Itolizumab is a humanized anti-CD6 monoclonal antibody (mAb) that has previously shown encouraging results, in terms of safety and positive clinical effects, in a 6-week monotherapy clinical trial conducted in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. The current Phase I study evaluated the safety and clinical response for a longer treatment of 12 itolizumab intravenous doses in subjects with active RA despite previous disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) therapy. Twenty-one subjects were enrolled into four dosage groups (0·1, 0·2, 0·4 and 0·8 mg/kg). Efficacy end-points including American College of Rheumatology (ACR)20, ACR50 and ACR70 response rates and disease activity score in 28 joints (DAS28) were monitored at baseline and at specific time-points during a 10-week follow-up period. Itolizumab was well tolerated up to the highest tested dose. No related serious adverse events were reported and most adverse events were mild. Remarkably, itolizumab treatment did not produce lymphopenia and, therefore, was not associated with infections. All patients achieved a clinical response (ACR20) at least once during the study. Eleven subjects (55%) achieved at least a 20% improvement in ACR just 1 week after the first itolizumab administration. The clinical response was observed from the beginning of the treatment and was sustained during 24 weeks. The efficacy profile of this 12-week treatment was similar to that of the previous study (6-week treatment). These results reinforce the safety profile of itolizumab and provide further evidence on the clinical benefit from the use of this anti-CD6 mAb in RA patients.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to (1) optimize a method for the measurement of parabens and phenols in adipose tissue, (2) evaluate the stability of chemical residues in adipose tissue samples, and (3) study correlations of these compounds in urine, serum, and adipose tissue. Samples were obtained from adults undergoing trauma surgery. Nine phenols and seven parabens were determined by isotope diluted TurboFlow-LC-MS/MS. The analytical method showed good accuracy and precision. Limits of detection (LOD) for parabens and phenols ranged from 0.05 to 1.83ng/g tissue. Good recovery rates were found, even when biological samples remained defrosted up to 24h. Benzophenone-3 (BP-3; range of values: <LOD-1.48ng/g tissue) and methylparaben (MeP; <LOD-1.78ng/g tissue) were detected in >70% of adipose tissue samples, while bisphenol-A (BPA; <LOD-3.28ng/g tissue) and 2-phenylphenol (2-PP; <LOD-0.78ng/g tissue) were detected in >40% of adipose tissue samples. In general, levels were similar between adipose tissue and serum, while a correlation between adipose tissue and urine was only found for BP-3. In conclusion, adipose tissue samples in this study were found to contain environmental chemicals considered to be non-persistent, whose levels were weakly or not at all correlated with the urine burden. Therefore, adipose tissue may potentially provide additional information to that obtained from other biological matrices. Further investigations are warranted to explore whether adipose tissue might be a suitable matrix for assessment of the consequences for human health of mid/long-term exposure to these chemicals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of perineal hernia after abdominoperineal excision and extralevator abdominoperineal excision ranges from 1 to 26%. In this systematic review, we compared surgical options and postoperative outcomes of perineal hernia repair in this setting from 2012 to 2016 with findings in a review of publications 1944-2011. METHODS We searched the PubMed database using the keywords "hernia" AND "perineum" identified 392 papers published from 1946 to 2016. Two hundred and ninety-six papers published before 2012 were excluded and 96 were found to be potentially relevant. RESULTS Twenty-one studies with a total of 108 patients were included in the final analysis. Perineal hernia repair was performed using the perineal approach in 75 patients (69.44%), the laparoscopic approach in 25 patients (23.14%), the open abdominal approach in three patients (2.77%) and the laparoscopic perineal approach in three patients (2.77%) and the open abdominoperineal approach in two patients (1.8%). Non-absorbable mesh was used in 41 (37.96%) of cases, composite mesh in 20 (18.51%) and biological mesh in 19 (17.59%). Flap reconstruction was used in 25 patients (23.14%). First and second recurrences were observed in 26 (24.07%) and 7 (26.92%) cases, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Comparison of perineal hernia repair from 1944 to 2011 and from 2012 to 2016 showed that perineal and laparoscopic approaches are currently the most commonly used techniques. Primary defect closure was abandoned in favor of synthetic or composite mesh placement. Use of flap reconstruction spread rapidly and the recurrence rate was low. Randomized control trials and a larger sample size are needed to confirm these data and to develop a gold standard treatment for secondary hernia repair after abdominoperineal excision or extralevator abdominoperineal excision.

Abstract
Young rabbits, the dams of which came from a full diallel cross among four maternal lines (A, V, H and LP) and the sires from a single paternal line (R), that produce sixteen genetic groups, was carried out to evaluate the genetic groups and to estimate the crossbreeding genetic parameters of meat quality. The meat quality traits were recorded by NIRS from a sample of 285 longissimus lumborum muscles. Crossbreeding parameters were estimated according to Dickerson model. No differences in protein were found. The line A had significant differences with V line for intramuscular fat, and fatty acids groups. Significant differences for these traits appeared between the crossbred AH and VV (in favor of AH). As conclusion, the significant contrasts between genetic types for chemical composition of the meat are mainly consequence of direct-maternal genetic effects, having grandmaternal and maternal heterosis effects a less relevant role.

Abstract
Intramuscular fat (IMF) is one of the main parameters affecting meat quality. This work analyzes the effect of selection for IMF on sensory attributes and instrumental texture parameters in rabbit meat. A total of 115 rabbits after 6 generations of divergent selection for IMF were slaughtered at 9 or 13 wk (57 and 58 animals, respectively). For each animal, the left longissimus dorsi muscle (LD) was analyzed by near-infrared spectroscopy to measure IMF whereas the right LD was used for the sensory or instrumental texture analysis. Sensory attributes measured were rabbit odor, liver odor, rabbit flavor, liver flavor, aniseed flavor, hardness, juiciness, and fibrousness. The instrumental texture parameters maximum shear force, shear firmness, and total work to cut the sample were measured by a Warner-Bratzler shear test. The line selected for high IMF showed 58% greater IMF than the line selected for low IMF. This divergence affected firmness that was 9.9% greater in the low-IMF line, although no effect was found for the other instrumental texture traits. No effect of selection was observed in any odor or flavor, except for aniseed flavor, which was greater in the high-IMF line than in the low-IMF line. Age had an effect on IMF, instrumental texture parameters, and sensory attributes. Rabbits at 13 wk showed greater IMF and instrumental and sensory hardness and more intense odor and flavor and lower juiciness than rabbits at 9 wk.

Abstract
The effects of different cooking techniques on the lipids of pork meat were evaluated. The assayed cooking techniques were deep-frying (DF), shallow-frying (SF), roasting (RO) and boiling (BO). Modi fication of the roasting meat due to reheating in a microwave oven after 24 h at 4 °C (MW), was also studied. In DF and SF significant increases were found in the lipid content (13.7 and 16.7 g/100 g of dry basis, respectively) and in the nun-polar lipids (11.2 and 14.2 g/100 g of dry basis, respectively) due to the absorption of the oil used in these cooking treatments. The main variations in the fatty acid composition of phospholipids and non-polar lipids were observed in the polyunsaturated fatty acid fraction. There was an increase in the content of free fatty acids (SFA, MUFA, PUFA) after MW, BO and RO. By contrast, free fatty acid content in DF and SF was similar to the content of initial raw meat. MW showed the greatest degradation of the phospholipid fraction, with a significant decline in phosphatidyl ethanolamine. All cooking treatments produced an increase in lipid oxidation, this be ing higher in RO and MW treatments.

Abstract
The optimal approach following the isolation of Staphylococcus aureus from an intravascular catheter tip in the absence of concomitant bacteremia remains unclear. We aimed to determine the rate of delayed complications in these patients. We performed a retrospective observational study (during the period 2002-2012) including patients with a catheter tip culture yielding S. aureus. Patients were followed up for ≥6 months. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of delayed staphylococcal complications (either bacteremia and/or metastatic distant infections). A total of 113 patients were included (75 % male, median age 61 years): 46 and 67 with negative and positive blood cultures, respectively. We found a lower rate of delayed staphylococcal complications in cases with no bacteremia within 48 h since catheter removal than in cases of confirmed S. aureus catheter-related bacteremia (0.0 % vs. 25.4 %; p-value < 0.001). In the group without bacteremia, there was a subgroup of 15 patients (32.6 %) who did not receive antimicrobial treatment. Again, delayed complications occurred less commonly in this subgroup of patients without bacteremia (0.0 % vs. 25.4 %; p-value = 0.033). In contrast to patients with S. aureus catheter-related bacteremia, no delayed infectious complications were observed in patients with an isolated catheter tip culture yielding S. aureus and negative blood cultures within 48 h of catheter removal. Futures studies are needed to assess if the therapeutic approach could be different for this group of patients.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to analyse the survival rate and cause of death in children with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) during the past 30 years in Chile. A retrospective analysis was performed between 1969 and 2000 on patients attending pediatric rheumatology centres in Santiago, Chile. Survival and causes of death in 31 children followed from 1969 to 1980 fulfilling the 1982 American College of Rheumatology criteria for SLE and treated with oral steroids were compared with 50 other patients who were treated with oral steroids and an aggressive treatment of IV bolus of cyclophosphamide (38 patients) and azathioprine (12 patients). Global survival at five and 10 years follow-up for the patients studied from 1969 to 1980 was 68 and 40%, respectively. During the second study period these values were significantly improved and global survival reached 95% at five years and 90% at 10 years follow-up (P, 0.05). Survival at 10 years follow-up for patients with lupus nephropathy increased from 28% (study period 1964-1980) to 86% (study period 1984-2000). Twelve children died (38%) during the 1964-1980 study period. The causes of death were six due to kidney failure, three due to infectious conditions and another three of unknown causes. During the 1980-2000 study period mortality reached 6% (three cases), two cases died of a lupus flare-up and one case due to infection. In the last three decades, we have seen an important increase in the survival of children with SLE, especially in those patients with renal involvement. Management with immunosuppressive drugs, such as IV cyclophosphamide or azathioprine has changed the prognosis in these children. These results demonstrate that our children with SLE increased their life expectancy but are now faced with new types of morbidity because of the sequelae related to the disease itself.

Abstract
In order to ensure flexibility and rapid new product development, the mold industry made use of soft materials for cavity inserts in injection molds. However, materials of this kind are prone to wear. This article analyzes the topographic characterization of the surface and wear processes in injection molds cavities. Two materials have been used to produce the cavities: aluminum alloy EN AW‐6082 T4 and copper alloy Cu Zn39 Pb3. The surface topography was measured with the use of optical interferometry profiling technology; roughness and surface parameters were determined according to ISO 4287, ISO 25178, and EUR 15178N. In order to complete this research, an experimental part with different thicknesses and shapes was designed, and cavity inserts of aluminum and copper were made. Polyamide PA6, with 30% fiberglass reinforcement, was employed in the experimental procedure. Measurements of cavity mold surfaces were performed after 9,200 cycles on each mold and at different locations on the mold. The surface measurement was made with a white light vertical scanning interferometry, also known as coherence scanning interferometry (ISO DIS 25178‐604). The results are analyzed and differences between the two types of cavity inserts materials are discussed.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the selection response on intramuscular fat (IMF) content of LM after 3 generations of divergent selection. Heritability and genetic means for IMF content were also analyzed. Selection was based on the phenotypic value of IMF content measured in 2 full sibs of the first parity. Selection pressure on females was 13% in the base generation and 26% for the next generations. Males were selected within sire families to reduce inbreeding. Line size was 13 males and 83 females in the base population and approximately 8 males and 40 females for high (High) and low (Low)lines in the next generations. A total of 668 records were used to estimate the selection response on IMF. The pedigree file used to estimate heritability and genetic means contained 1,332 animals. Data were analyzed using Bayesian methodology. Differences between lines for IMF were 0.08, 0.10, and 0.09 g/100 g muscle in the first, second, and third generation, respectively. These differences represent a direct and cumulative selection response of 9% of the mean, of which 6.8% was obtained in the first generation. Heritability of IMF content was moderate to high (0.37) with a probability of 97% of being greater than 0.20. The response to selection estimated using an animal model was 0.033, 0.052 and 0.054 g/100 g muscle in line High and -0.032, -0.046, and -0.051 g/100 g muscle in line Low in the first, second, and third generation, respectively. Results of the present experiment confirmed that IMF content can be improved through selection in rabbits.

Abstract
Carcass and meat characteristics of rabbits from two synthetic breeds of different size were compared. Breed R had a higher adult weight and reached slaughter weight 1 week before breed V. Sixty rabbits of each breed were slaughtered when they (approximately) reached the Spanish commercial liveweight of 2 kg in order to compare their carcasses and meat quality. The carcasses were measured and retailed according to the norms of the World Rabbit Scientific Association. Breed R had a considerably more developed liver, a less developed hind part, and a more developed thoracic cage. Dissectible fat content was 3.1% and 2.5% of the carcass weight for the breeds V and R, respectively. Meat content was higher in the V breed than in the R breed (53 and 51% with respect to the chilled carcases). The ratio meat bone was better for breed V (2.18 and 2.05, respectively). Muscular fat content, estimated in the meat of one side of the carcass, was higher for breed V. All these differences are related to the lower degree of maturity of breed R at equal weights. Muscular pH, measured on the B. femoris and on the M. Longissimus lumborum at the level of the 5th lumbar vertebra, was the same for both breeds. Colour was measured on the carcass surface and in cuts of the M. Longissimus lumborum. Some colour differences were found for the carcass surface, but not for the meat.

Abstract
Lipolytic and oxidative changes were studied in two typical meat products from pork loin, dry-cured loin (DCL) and pickled-cured loin (PCL). Neither product registered changes in the percentages of the main lipid fractions: non polar lipids, phospholipids and cholesterol. However, in dry cured loin an important decrease was recorded in the main phospholipid classes, phosphatidyl choline and phosphatidyl ethanolamine. Muscle lipolytic enzymes were active in both products, and were accompanied by a significant increase in free fatty acids, from 0.580% (of total lipid) in fresh loin to 5.65 in DCL and 2.95% in PCL. With respect to oxidative changes, the peroxide value decreased in both products, and the TBA number only increased in PCL.

Abstract
Cork manufacturing is a traditional industry in Southern Europe, being the main application of this natural product in wine stoppers and insulation. Cork processing begins at boiling the raw material. As a consequence, great volumes of dark wastewaters, with elevated concentrations of chlorophenols, are generated, which must be depurated through costly physicochemical procedures before discarding them into public water courses. This work explores the potential of bacteria, isolated from cork-boiling waters storage ponds, in bioremediation of the same effluent. The bacterial population present in cork-processing wastewaters was analysed by DGGE; low bacterial biodiversity was found. Aerobic bacteria were isolated and investigated for their tolerance against phenol and two chlorophenols. The most tolerant strains were identified by sequencing 16S rDNA. The phenol-degrading capacity was investigated by determining enzyme activities of the phenol-degrading pathway. Moreover, the capacity to form biofilms was analysed in a microtitre plate assay. Finally, the capacity to form biofilms onto the surface of residual small cork particles was evaluated by acridine staining followed by epifluorescence microscopy and by SEM. A low-cost bioremediation system, using phenol-degrading bacteria immobilised onto residual cork particles (a by-product of the industry) is proposed for the remediation of this industrial effluent (self-bioremediation).

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate the possible change in the optics of the human eye after iris constriction. Methods Ocular aberrations were measured under natural viewing conditions in 26 eyes. The measured eyes fixated on a dim target while the contralateral eye was either occluded (so the measured eye had a large pupil) or highly illuminated (so the measured eye had a small pupil). The measured eyes fixated to a dim target placed 0.5 D beyond the subject’s far point. Zernike values obtained in both situations were compared within the same pupil diameter corresponding to the one obtained under the high illumination condition. Results Significant variation in some aberration coefficients were found between the two illumination conditions. Specially, spherical aberration (SA) increased significantly after pupil miosis (P = .0017). The mean increase of SA measured was 0.018 microns, for a 3-mm pupil. Mean values of other ocular aberrations also vary significantly after pupil miosis (changes were larger than the standard deviation of the repeated measurements). A mean paraxial hyperopic shift of one third of diopter was found after iris constriction. Conclusion Iris constriction slightly modifies the optics of the eye. The small hyperopic shift of the best image plane after iris constriction may be explained by a change in the lens shape and/or position.

Abstract
Sixty Hereford (H) and Braford (B: 3/8 Zebu and 5/8 H) steers were finished on: D1) rangeland plus corn grain (1% of live weight) (H n=15, B n=15); and D2) high quality pasture (H n=15, B n=15) to study the effect of diet, temperament and lairage time on carcass and meat quality. Steers were slaughtered the same day in two groups, spending 15 and 3h in pens, respectively (50% from D1, 50% from D2 in each group). Animals from D1 had better carcass performance without effect of the diet on meat quality. Regardless of breed, calmer steers showed higher average daily gain and lower shear force values. Carcasses from animals in the long lairage group had a better rate of pH decline and more tender meat, suggesting that more than 3h preslaughter time should be necessary to rest and recover, mainly depending on lairage conditions.
