Adolescent alcohol exposure modifies adult anxiety-like behavior and amygdala sensitivity to alcohol in rats: Increased c-Fos activity and sex-dependent microRNA-182 expression. Pharmacol Biochem Behav 2024; 238:173741. [PMID: 38437922 DOI: 10.1016/j.pbb.2024.173741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 02/12/2024] [Accepted: 02/29/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024]
Abstract
Adolescent binge alcohol drinking is a serious health concern contributing to adult alcohol abuse often associated with anxiety disorders. We have used adolescent intermittent ethanol (AIE) administration as a model of binge drinking in rats in order to explore its long-term effect on the basolateral amygdala (BLA) responsiveness to alcohol and anxiety-like behavior. AIE increased the number of BLA c-Fos positive cells in adult Wistar rats and anxiety-like behavior assessed by the open field test (OFT). Additionally, in adult female rats receiving AIE BLA over expression of miR-182 was found. Therefore, our results indicate that alcohol consumption during adolescence can lead to enduring changes in anxiety-like behavior and BLA susceptibility to alcohol that may be mediated by sex-dependent epigenetic changes. These results contribute to understanding the mechanisms involved in the development of alcohol use disorders (AUD) and anxiety-related disorders.

Emergence of epizootic hemorrhagic disease in red deer (Cervus elaphus), Spain, 2022. Vet Microbiol 2024; 292:110069. [PMID: 38569324 DOI: 10.1016/j.vetmic.2024.110069] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2024] [Revised: 03/27/2024] [Accepted: 03/30/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
Epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD) virus serotype 8 (EHDV-8) emerged in Spain in autumn 2022. In this study, we aimed to (1) characterize the clinical and lesional presentation of EHDV infection in European red deer (Cervus elaphus), and (2) study the spatial spread of the virus in wild ruminants in Spain after its introduction, in 2022/2023. We confirmed EHDV infection in two clinically compatible sick red deer by PCR and detection of anti-EHDV specific antibodies. EHDV infection occurred in red deer with hyperacute to acute clinical signs and lesions associated to vascular changes leading to death of the animals. Partial sequences of variable segment 2 (VP2) and segment 5 (NS1) genes of the detected viruses had >99% nucleotide identity with EHDV-8 sequences from Tunisia and Italy. In a cross-sectional serological study of EHDV in 592 wild ruminants, mainly red deer (n=578), in southwestern Spain, we detected anti-EHDV antibodies in 37 of 592 samples (6.3%; 95% confidence interval: 4.3-8.2), all from red deer and from the localities where clinical cases of EHD were confirmed in red deer. We conclude that EHDV-8 infection causes severe EHD in European red deer. The serosurvey revealed a limited spread of EHDV-8 in Spanish wild ruminant populations in the first year of virus detection in Spain.

Sexual selection in seaweed? Testing Bateman's principles in the red alga Gracilaria gracilis. Proc Biol Sci 2023; 290:20231668. [PMID: 37700657 PMCID: PMC10498045 DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2023.1668] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/14/2023] Open
Abstract
In anisogamous species, sexual selection is expected to be stronger in males. Bateman's principles state that the variance in (i) reproductive and (ii) mating success is greater for males, and (iii) the relationship between reproductive success and mating success (the Bateman gradient) is also stronger for males than for females. Sexual selection, based on Bateman's principles, has been demonstrated in animals and some angiosperms, but never in a seaweed. Here we focus on the oogamous haploid-diploid rhodophyte Gracilaria gracilis in which previous studies have shown evidence for non-random mating, suggesting the existence of male-male competition and female choice. We estimated mating and reproductive success using paternity analyses in a natural population where up to 92% of fertilizations occurred between partners of that population. The results show that the variance in mating success is significantly greater in males than in females and that the Bateman gradient is positive only in males. Distance to female partners also explains a minor part of the variance in male mating success. Although there is no evidence for sexual dimorphism, our study supports the hypothesis that sexual selection occurs in G. gracilis, probably on male traits, even if we cannot observe, characterize or quantify them yet.

Results of the compassionate program of inotuzumab ozogamicin for adult patients with relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia in Spain. Eur J Haematol 2023. [PMID: 37381686 DOI: 10.1111/ejh.14031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Revised: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/15/2023] [Indexed: 06/30/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The prognosis of relapsed B cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is poor and few patients can be successfully rescued with conventional therapies. Inotuzumab ozogamicin (IO), an antibody against the CD22 antigen linked to calicheamicin, has been approved as a rescue treatment in relapsed/refractory (R/R) B-ALL. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was an observational, retrospective, multicenter study of adult patients included in the Spanish program of compassionate use of IO in centers from the PETHEMA group (Programa Español de Tratamientos en Hematología). RESULTS Thirty-four patients with a median age of 43 years (range, 19-73) were included. Twenty patients (59%) were refractory to the last treatment, IO treatment was given as ≥3rd salvage treatment in 25 patients (73%) and 20 patients (59%) received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation before IO treatment. After a median of 2 cycles of IO, 64% of patients achieved complete response (CR)/complete response with incomplete recovery. The median response duration, progression-free survival and overall survival (OS) were 4.7 (95%CI, 2.4-7.0 months), 3.5 (95%CI, 1.0-5.0 months) and 4 months (95%CI, 1.9-6.1 months) respectively, with better OS for patients with relapsed B-ALL versus refractory disease (10.4 vs. 2.5 months, respectively) (p = .01). There was a trend for better OS for patients with first CR duration >12 months (7.2 months [95%CI, 3.2-11.2] vs. 3 months [95% CI, 1.8-4.2] respectively) (p = .054). There was no sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) event during IO treatment, but three patients (9%) developed grade 3-4 SOS during alloHSCT after IO treatment. CONCLUSIONS Our study showed slightly inferior outcomes of the pivotal trial probably due to poorer risk factors and late onset of IO therapy of recruited patients. Our results support early use of IO in relapsed/refractory ALL patients.

Factors associated with discontinuation of biologics in patients with inflammatory arthritis in remission: data from the BIOBADASER registry. Arthritis Res Ther 2023; 25:86. [PMID: 37217997 PMCID: PMC10201751 DOI: 10.1186/s13075-023-03045-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2022] [Accepted: 03/31/2023] [Indexed: 05/24/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The objectives of this study were to assess the discontinuation of biologic therapy in patients who achieve remission and identify predictors of discontinuation of biologics in patients with inflammatory arthritis in remission. METHODS An observational retrospective study from the BIOBADASER registry comprising adult patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), or psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and receiving 1 or 2 biological disease-modifying drugs (bDMARDs) between October 1999 and April 2021. Patients were followed yearly after initiation of therapy or until discontinuation of treatment. Reasons for discontinuation were collected. Patients who discontinued bDMARDs because of remission as defined by the attending clinician were studied. Predictors of discontinuation were explored using multivariable regression models. RESULTS The study population comprised 3,366 patients taking 1 or 2 bDMARDs. Biologics were discontinued owing to remission by 80 patients (2.4%): 30 with RA (1.7%), 18 with AS (2.4%), and 32 with PsA (3.9%). The factors associated with a higher probability of discontinuation on remission were shorter disease duration (OR: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.91-0.99), no concomitant use of classic DMARDs (OR: 0.56; 95% CI: 0.34-0.92), and shorter usage of the previous bDMARD (before the decision to discontinue biological therapy) (OR: 1.01; 95% CI: 1.01-1.02); in contrast, smoking status (OR: 2.48; 95% CI: 1.21-5.08) was associated with a lower probability. In patients with RA, positive ACPA was associated with a lower probability of discontinuation (OR: 0.11; 95% CI: 0.02-0.53). CONCLUSIONS Discontinuation of bDMARDs in patients who achieve remission is uncommon in routine clinical care. Smoking and positive ACPA in RA patients were associated with a lower probability of treatment discontinuation because of clinical remission.

Evaluating remission and low disease activity from the perspective of the patient with axial spondyloarthritis: The cross-sectional ConREspAx study. Joint Bone Spine 2023; 90:105505. [PMID: 36493989 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbspin.2022.105505] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2022] [Revised: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 11/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the properties of a single question to determine patient perception of remission and disease activity; to compare this with existing definitions for remission and low disease activity (LDA). METHODS Single-center, cross-sectional study in a tertiary care hospital. Patients with axSpA (fulfilling ASAS criteria) were consecutively included. Both the patient's perception of remission and LDA and that of the physician were evaluated with a single question. Agreement between the patients' perception and other current definitions was tested using the prevalence-adjusted and bias-adjusted kappa (PABAK). The sensitivity (S) and specificity (Sp) of current definitions of disease states were tested against the patient's perception as the gold standard. RESULTS The study population included 105 axSpA patients (63.8% males; 67.6% with radiographic sacroiliitis). Patients considered themselves to be in remission in 21% of cases and in LDA in 51.4%; physicians considered patients to be in remission in 45.7% of cases and in LDA in 35.2%. The poorest agreement was recorded for the patient's and the physician's perception of remission. The best agreement for patients' perception of remission was for a BASDAI < 2 and normal C-reactive protein values. This definition was also the most sensitive (S=72.7%) and specific (Sp=83.1%) when the patient's perception was taken as the gold standard. CONCLUSION In a real-life setting, the evaluation of remission by the patient through a single question was the hardest criterion to achieve, although it did prove to be a feasible, valid, and specific way to assess remission.

Abstract
The long-held belief that animal-mediated pollination is absent in the sea has recently been contradicted in seagrasses, motivating investigations of other marine phyla. This is particularly relevant in red algae, in which female gametes are not liberated and male gametes are not flagellated. Using experiments with the isopod Idotea balthica and the red alga Gracilaria gracilis, we demonstrate that biotic interactions dramatically increase the fertilization success of the alga through animal transport of spermatia on their body. This discovery suggests that animal-mediated fertilization could have evolved independently in terrestrial and marine environments and raises the possibility of its emergence in the sea before plants moved ashore.

Inmune-mediated inflammatory rheumatic diseases in transgender people: A scoping review. Semin Arthritis Rheum 2021; 52:151920.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In immune-mediated inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IMIRD), there are differences between cis-men and cis-women in epidemiology, clinical feature, therapeutic approach, treatment response, and prognosis. In transgender individuals, information concerning IMIRD is not substantial. The assessment of information concerning rheumatic diseases in transgenders is crucial because transgenders may undergo treatments with potential impacts on IMIRD. We aim to collect and discuss current knowledge on IMIRD in transgender individuals, determine the coverage of the literature, identify the knowledge gaps, and highlight opportunities for future research. METHODS We did a scoping review of publications collected through a systematic search of transgender patients with any IMIRD. Data sources were Medline, Embase, and Web of Knowledge. Synthesis of results and qualitative review of data information was collected in tables. A semi-quantification of the quality of the articles reporting clinical studies was performed. RESULTS There were 11 transwoman, and 3 transmen cases of systemic lupus erythematosus (5 cases), skin lupus erythematosus (2), systemic sclerosis (4), anti-synthetase syndrome (1), rheumatoid arthritis (1) and ankylosing spondylitis (1). Eleven were de novo cases and three had prior history of IMIRD and developed a comorbidity after starting hormone replacement therapy. The clinical expression of the disease was variable. Two transwomen and one transman developed thrombotic events. The lupus skin lesions in one transman improved following testosterone treatment. No clinical studies were identified. Quality of publications was disparate. CONCLUSION Although the number of cases is small, most cases of IMIRD occur in transwomen. The absence of solid data warrants caution in establishing recommendations regarding hormone replacement therapy in transgenders with IMIRD. There is an essential need for the consideration of cisgender and transgender particularities in future research on IMIRD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the cohort of patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD) hospitalized due to SARS-CoV-2 infection in the Ramón y Cajal Hospital, and to determine the increased risk of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in patients with no IRD. METHODS This is a retrospective single-center observational study of patients with IRD actively monitored in the Department of Rheumatology who were hospitalized due to COVID-19. RESULTS Forty-one (1.8%) out of 2315 patients admitted due to severe SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia suffered from an IRD. The admission OR for patients with IRD was 1.91 against the general population, and it was considerably higher in patients with Sjögren syndrome, vasculitis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Twenty-seven patients were receiving treatment for IRD with corticosteroids, 23 with conventional DMARDs, 12 with biologics (7 rituximab [RTX], 4 anti-tumor necrosis factor [anti-TNF], and 1 abatacept), and 1 with Janus kinase inhibitors. Ten deaths were registered among patients with IRD. A higher hospitalization rate and a higher number of deaths were observed in patients treated with RTX (OR 12.9) but not in patients treated with anti-TNF (OR 0.9). CONCLUSION Patients with IRD, especially autoimmune diseases and patients treated with RTX, may be at higher risk of severe pneumonia due to SARS-CoV-2 compared to the general population. More studies are needed to analyze this association further in order to help manage these patients during the pandemic.

Abstract
The aim of this study was the use and revalorization of two persimmon by-products A and B generated in the juice production process. The by-product B resulting from a pectinase enzymatic treatment of peels and pulp to optimize juice extraction was especially suitable for recovery of valuable bioactive carotenoids. The extraction solvents and solvent combinations used were: ethanol, acetone, ethanol/acetone (50:50 v/v) and ethanol/acetone/hexane (25:25:50 v/v/v). HPLC-DAD analysis detected and identified a total of nine individual carotenoids namely violaxanthin, neoxanthin, antheraxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin, β-cryptoxanthin 5,6-epoxide, β-cryptoxanthin, α-carotene, and β-carotene. β-cryptoxanthin and β-carotene represented 49.2% and 13.2% of the total carotenoid content (TCC) in the acetone extract from by-product B. TCC contributed greatly to antioxidant activity of acetone extract derived from this by-product. Pectinase enzymatic treatment of persimmon peels and pulp followed by absolute acetone extraction of carotenoids could be an efficient method to obtain a rich extract in these compounds that could be used as nutraceutical ingredient.

Abstract
Background Prognostic factors of poor outcome in patients with hematological malignancies and COVID-19 are poorly defined. Patients and methods This was a Spanish transplant group and cell therapy (GETH) multicenter retrospective observational study, which included a large cohort of blood cancer patients with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection through PCR assays from March 1st 2020 to May 15th 2020. Results We included 367 pediatric and adult patients with hematological malignancies, including recipients of autologous (ASCT) (n = 58) or allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) (n = 65) from 41 hospitals in Spain. Median age of patients was 64 years (range 1–93.8). Recipients of ASCT and allo-SCT showed lower mortality rates (17% and 18%, respectively) compared to non-SCT patients (31%) (p = 0.02). Prognostic factors identified for day 45 overall mortality (OM) by logistic regression multivariate analysis included age > 70 years [odds ratio (OR) 2.1, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.2–3.8, p = 0.011]; uncontrolled hematological malignancy (OR 2.9, 95% CI 1.6–5.2, p < 0.0001); ECOG 3–4 (OR, 2.56, 95% CI 1.4–4.7, p = 0.003); neutropenia (< 0.5 × 109/L) (OR 2.8, 95% CI 1.3–6.1, p = 0.01); and a C-reactive protein (CRP) > 20 mg/dL (OR 3.3, 95% CI 1.7–6.4, p < 0.0001). In multivariate analysis of 216 patients with very severe COVID-19, treatment with azithromycin or low dose corticosteroids was associated with lower OM (OR 0.42, 95% CI 0.2–0.89 and OR 0.31, 95% CI 0.11–0.87, respectively, p = 0.02) whereas the use of hidroxycloroquine did not show significant improvement in OM (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.37–1.1, P = 0.1). Conclusions In most patients with hematological malignancies COVID-19 mortality was directly driven by older age, disease status, performance status, as well as by immune (neutropenia) parameters and level of inflammation (high CRP). Use of azithromycin and low dose corticosteroids may be of value in very severe COVID-19.

Abstract
Background:Current recommendations for axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) include the treat-to-target concept and suggest that the ideal target should be remission or low disease activity (LDA). Also, the importance of a shared decision is highlighted. Unfortunately, the definition of remission is not consensual, and most of the definitions are difficult to evaluate in clinical practiceObjectives:To propose an evaluation of remission by a single question to the patient, by comparing it to the different available definitions. To analyze the metric properties of the current definitions against patient’s perceptionMethods:One-center cross-sectional study in a tertiary care hospital including consecutive patients with a diagnosis of axSpA (and fulfilling the ASAS criteria) were included between February to November 2019. Patient’s perception of remission and LDA was evaluated by a single question. Physician’s perception of remission and LDA was assessed identically. The level of agreement between patients’ perception and the other available definitions was tested by the Prevalence and Bias adjusted Kappa (PABAK). The metric properties Sensitivity (S) and Specificity (Sp) of the available definitions (BASDAI cut-offs, ASDAS disease states, ASAS criteria for partial remission and patient acceptable symptom state), were tested against the patients perspective, as the gold standard.Results:A total of 105 axSpA patients were included. 63,8% were males and 67,6% had radiographic sacroiliitis (Table 1). 21% and 72% of them considered themselves in remission and LDA, respectively. Physician’s perception was 45.7% and 81% for remission and LDA, respectively. The prevalence of the different definitions are shown in Figure 1. The best agreement for patients’s perception of remission was found with a BASDAI <2 + normal CRP (Table 2).

Abstract
Successful prevention and mitigation of biological invasions requires retracing the initial steps of introduction, as well as understanding key elements enhancing the adaptability of invasive species. We studied the genetic diversity of the green alga Caulerpa taxifolia and its associated bacterial communities in several areas around the world. The striking congruence of α and β diversity of the algal genome and endophytic communities reveals a tight association, supporting the holobiont concept as best describing the unit of spreading and invasion. Both genomic compartments support the hypotheses of a unique accidental introduction in the Mediterranean and of multiple invasion events in southern Australia. In addition to helping with tracing the origin of invasion, bacterial communities exhibit metabolic functions that can potentially enhance adaptability and competitiveness of the consortium they form with their host. We thus hypothesize that low genetic diversities of both host and symbiont communities may contribute to the recent regression in the Mediterranean, in contrast with the persistence of highly diverse assemblages in southern Australia. This study supports the importance of scaling up from the host to the holobiont for a comprehensive understanding of invasions.

Abstract
We report the characteristics of relapse, treatment response, and outcomes of 145 elderly patients with multiple myeloma in first relapse after front-line treatment with VMP or VTP. Reappearance of CRAB symptoms (113 patients) and more aggressive forms of disease (32 patients) were the most common patterns of relapse. After second-line therapy, 75 (51.7%) patients achieved at partial response and 16 (11%) complete response (CR). Overall survival was longer among patients receiving VMP as front-line induction (21.4 vs. 14.4 months, P=0.037), in patients achieving CR (28.3 vs. 14.8 months; P=0.04), and in patients without aggressive relapse (28.6 vs. 7.6 months; P=0.0007).

Abstract
Risk analysis is typically considered from two complementary points of view: predictive analysis performed prior, and retrospective analysis, which follows the internal reporting of adverse situations or malfunctions, both on the organizational and material or human aspects. The purpose of these additional analyzes is to ensure that planned or implemented measures allow to keep risks to a level deemed tolerable or acceptable at a given time and in a given situation. Where a risk is deemed unacceptable, risk reduction measures should be considered (prevention, limiting the consequences and protection).

Abstract
Kelps are ecologically important seaweeds that dominate the subtidal zones of rocky coasts. In Northern Europe, Saccorhiza polyschides is a pioneer species suspected of outcompeting the harvested kelp, Laminaria digitata. To examine how the process of species competition affects species distribution and genetic diversity in coastal environments, we developed 10 polymorphic microsatellite markers for S. polyschides using an enriched library (microsatellites are already available for L. digitata). These loci showed from three to 24 alleles with heterozygosities ranging from 0.36 to 0.92. This polymorphism is high enough for fine-scale population analyses including assignment tests to determine the origin of recruits.

Abstract
138 Background: The traditional method of confirming excision of a targeted lesion during wire localized breast biopsy has been with standard specimen mammograms (SSM). More recently, intraoperative digital specimen mammograms (IDSM) have been used to provide immediate specimen evaluation for the surgeon in the operating room. We sought to evaluate operative time with the use of IDSM versus SSM. Methods: A retrospective chart and electronic operating room record review of consecutive patients of a single breast surgical oncologist at a quaternary care academic center. Three hundred and forty-four (344) consecutive patients from 2003 to 2010 who underwent wire localized excisional biopsy or wire localized lumpectomy without lymph node evaluation, with specimen evaluation by IDSM or SSM. Operative time, defined as documented time of incision to documented time of closure, was recorded for SSM versus IDSM. Results: We compared demographics of the two groups transitioning from SSM to IDSM (Table). During the study period, median operative time decreased from 50 minutes in the SSM group to 37 minutes in the IDSM group (p<0.001). Conclusions: Operative times with the use of IDSM are significantly shorter than with SSM. Downstream effects include decreases in anesthetic time, anesthetic use, operating room charges, and increasing surgeon productivity. [Table: see text]

Abstract
We examined 733 individuals of Fucusspiralis from 21 locations and 1093 Fucusvesiculosus individuals from 37 locations throughout their northern hemisphere ranges using nuclear and mitochondrial markers. Three genetic entities of F. spiralis were recovered. In northern and sympatric populations, the presence of "F. spiralis Low" in the mid-intertidal and "F. spiralis High" in the high-intertidal was confirmed and both co-occurred with the sister species F. vesiculosus. The third and newly-discovered entity, "F. spiralis South", was present mainly in the southern range, where it did not co-occur with F. vesiculosus. The South entity diverged early in allopatry, then hybridized with F. vesiculosus in sympatry to produce F. spiralis Low. Ongoing parallel evolution of F. spiralis Low and F. spiralis High is most likely due to habitat preference/local selection and maintained by preferentially selfing reproductive strategies. Contemporary populations of F. spiralis throughout the North Atlantic stem from a glacial refugium around Brittany involving F. spiralis High; F. spiralis South was probably unaffected by glacial episodes. Exponential population expansion for F. vesiculosus began during the Cromer and/Holstein interglacial period (300,000-200,000 yrs BP). Following the last glacial maximum (30,000-22,000 yrs BP), a single mtDNA haplotype from a glacial refugium in SW Ireland colonized Scandinavia, the Central Atlantic islands, and the W Atlantic.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) is the most accepted technique for the evaluation of endothelial function. However, it has been show a great inter-subject variability limiting its clinical use. Carotid-radial pulse wave velocity (PWVcr) was proposed as an alternative tool for the evaluation of endothelial function. At the present, there is no doubt that PWVcr reduces its values in response to reactive hyperemia test (RHT) in healthy subjects. AIMS a) to determine simultaneously the temporal profile of FMD, PWVcr and shear rate in response to RHT and b) to describe and analyze how subjects "FMD responders" or "non-responders" behave regards to PWVcr changes. METHODS 34 Healthy young subjects were included. The PWVcr (strain gauge mechanotransducers), brachial diameter (B-Mode ultrasound and blood flow velocity (Doppler ultrasound) were measured before (baseline) the cuff was inflated and after its deflation (5 minutes). 10(th) percentiles FMD and PWVcr changes in the population were used for the definition of the subjects ("responders and non-responders"). RESULTS Changes in PWVcr, brachial arterial diameter and shear rate were evidenced after the cuff release (p<0.05). There were differences in the PWV and FMD temporal profiles. Within "FMD responders" there were "PWV responders and non-responders". CONCLUSION Assessing RHT-related changes in PWVcr in the context of a FMD evaluation, could be useful as a discriminator of intrinsic wall alterations giving additional information of vascular dynamics.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The analysis of carotid-radial pulse wave velocity (PWVcr) changes in response to forearm transient ischemia (TI) has been proposed as an alternative approach to evaluate endothelial function. Consider flow mediated dilatation tests, PWVcr changes are characterized after 5 minutes of TI. It is unknown if lower TI times could be used and if different TI times would result in different PWVcr responses (levels and/or kinetics). OBJECTIVE To determine PWVcr changes associated with the reactive hyperemia in response to 1, 3 or 5 minutes of forearm TI. METHODS We measured left PWVcr change using mechano-transducers in healthy volunteers (22 ± 2 years old) before (basal) and after 1 (n=14), 3 (n=14) and 5 (n=15) minutes of TI (forearm cuff inflation), respectively. The change of level and rate in PWVcr were recorded at 15, 30, 45 and 60 seconds after cuff release. Right brachial pressure was measured. RESULTS There were no changes in heart rate or blood pressure during the studies. Regardless of the occlusion length, TI resulted in PWVcr reduction (p < 0.05). The groups showed similar maximum PWVcr reduction. However, there were differences in the immediate PWVcr changes (-4.9 ± 0.2%; -6.8 ± 0.3% and -8.3 ± 0.5% for 1, 3 and 5 minutes of TI, respectively) (p < 0.05). Then, the immediate rate of PWVcr change differed (p < 0.05) among the different ischemia times considered. Thereafter, the differences diminished and a minute after TI the groups showed similar levels and mean rate of PWVcr reduction. CONCLUSION Similar maximum PWVcr responses can be obtained after 1, 3, or 5 minutes of TI. Different TI times resulted in dissimilar immediate, but not later, PWVcr changes.
