    Abstract El desarrollo de alimentos involucra el uso de herramientas sensoriales rápidas y que permitan explorar la percepción del consumidor. Se determinó el perfil sensorial ideal de cabanossi con carne de llamas alimentadas con tres tipos de piensos (pastura natural, alfalfa y con vitaminas) empleando el método CATA, en comparación a dos muestras comerciales (CC1 y CC2). Se evaluaron la humedad, pH, actividad de agua, color y la textura. La humedad y color externo (L*) e interno (a*, b*, C*) fueron semejantes entre los cabanossi con carne de llama, pero diferentes a los comerciales. Los parámetros mecánicos (dureza y masticabilidad) fueron superiores para las muestras de cabanossi con carne de llama. Participaron 80 consumidores en el perfil ideal basado en preguntas CATA, encontrando diferencias significativas en todos los descriptores utilizados. Los atributos sensoriales indispensables para la aceptabilidad fueron: salado, olor característico/embutido y masticable. Referente al análisis de penalidad, se encontraron atributos positivos (masticable y blando/suave) y negativos (duro, olor humo y color marrón), que se deben considerar para reformular el producto. El cabanossi procedente del sistema de alimentación con pastura natural (CS1) fue semejante al producto ideal. Esto evidencia que el origen de la materia prima repercute en las características de calidad del producto terminado (sensoriales, fisicoquímicas y mecánicas) vinculadas a las necesidades que el consumidor idealiza.

    Abstract We analyze changes in circulating platelets in COVID-19 positive patients who received conventional treatment Dexamethasone and Enoxaparin (Dexa-Enoxa) compared to patients treated with conventional therapy plus nebulization with alkaline hypertonic ibuprofenate (AHI). Results show that after 24 h of nebulization with AHI, circulating platelets shows an increase about 40% at 24 h and reach 65% at 96 h. In patients with platelets content below 200,000 by microliter the increase was 49% and 79% at 24 and 96 h respectively. In patients with platelets above 200,000 by microliter the increase was 24% and 31% at 24 and 96 h, respectively. The increase of platelets via AHI was similar in both, men and women.To evaluate whether this action of AHI was related to platelets from COVID-19 positive patients or also for healthy people, two controls were included: one of them with 10 healthy volunteers and another one with COVID-19 positive patients hospitalized and treated only with Dexa-Enoxa. Results show that, in healthy volunteers, the number of circulating platelets remains unchanged even after 7 days of treatment with AHI. In COVID-19 positive patients treated only with Dexa-Enoxa for 4 days, platelets increased only 16%.

    Abstract Introduction: the National Laboratory of Clinical Biology and Public Health (NLBPH) in Bangui in the Central African Republic (CAR) carries out the vast majority of molecular screening tests for SARS-CoV-2 infection nationwide. This study aimed to show the contribution of molecular diagnosis and genomic surveillance in monitoring the evolution of longitudinal variations of the SARS-CoV-2 infection epidemic in CAR between 2020 and the end of 2022.
    Methods: this is an observational study on the variations in the prevalence of detection of SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR at the NLCBPH from nasopharyngeal samples taken prospectively over a period of 3 years since the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic. A subgroup of SARS-CoV-2 positive samples was selected for molecular sequencing performed by Illumina® and MinIon® at the National Institute for Biomedical Research in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo.
    Results: from March 2020 to December 31
    Conclusion: this prospective study over a period of 3 years, marked by 5 successive waves, made it possible to report that age, sex and the presence of clinical symptoms are associated with RT-PCR positivity. Among the different variants identified during successive waves, the Omicron variant predominated during the last two waves.

    Abstract Mammalian gametogenesis involves dramatic and tightly regulated chromatin remodeling, whose regulatory pathways remain largely unexplored. Here, we generate a comprehensive high-resolution structural and functional atlas of mouse spermatogenesis by combining in situ chromosome conformation capture sequencing (Hi-C), RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) of CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) and meiotic cohesins, coupled with confocal and super-resolution microscopy. Spermatogonia presents well-defined compartment patterns and topological domains. However, chromosome occupancy and compartmentalization are highly re-arranged during prophase I, with cohesins bound to active promoters in DNA loops out of the chromosomal axes. Compartment patterns re-emerge in round spermatids, where cohesin occupancy correlates with transcriptional activity of key developmental genes. The compact sperm genome contains compartments with actively transcribed genes but no fine-scale topological domains, concomitant with the presence of protamines. Overall, we demonstrate how genome-wide cohesin occupancy and transcriptional activity is associated with three-dimensional (3D) remodeling during spermatogenesis, ultimately reprogramming the genome for the next generation.

Overall, we demonstrate how genome-wide cohesin occupancy and transcriptional activity is associated with three-dimensional (3D) remodeling during spermatogenesis, ultimately reprogramming the genome for the next generation. : The formation of mammalian germ cells involves dramatic chromosomal movements and chromatin remodeling, whose regulatory pathways are far from understood. Vara et al. show how the dynamics of insulator proteins’ occupancy and transcriptional activity are coupled during the 3D genome re-organization that takes place during mouse spermatogenesis.

    Abstract Introduction: Sodium ibuprofenate in hypertonic saline (NaIHS) administered directly to the lungs by nebulization and inhalation has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, with the potential to deliver these benefits to hypoxic patients. We describe a compassionate use program that offered this therapy to hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
    Methods: NaIHS (50 mg ibuprofen, tid) was provided in addition to standard of care (SOC) to hospitalized COVID-19 patients until oxygen saturation levels of > 94% were achieved on ambient air. Patients wore a containment hood to diminish aerosolization. Outcome data from participating patients treated at multiple hospitals in Argentina between April 4 and October 31, 2020, are summarized. Results were compared with a retrospective contemporaneous control (CC) group of hospitalized COVID-19 patients with SOC alone during the same time frame from a subset of participating hospitals from Córdoba and Buenos Aires.
    Results: The evolution of 383 patients treated with SOC + NaIHS [56 on mechanical ventilation (MV) at baseline] and 195 CC (21 on MV at baseline) are summarized. At baseline, NaIHS-treated patients had basal oxygen saturation of 90.7 ± 0.2% (74.3% were on supplemental oxygen at baseline) and a basal respiratory rate of 22.7 ± 0.3 breath/min. In the CC group, basal oxygen saturation was 92.6 ± 0.4% (52.1% were on oxygen supplementation at baseline) and respiratory rate was 19.3 ± 0.3 breath/min. Despite greater pulmonary compromise at baseline in the NaIHS-treated group, the length of treatment (LOT) was 9.1 ± 0.2 gs with an average length of stay (ALOS) of 11.5 ± 0.3 days, in comparison with an ALOS of 13.3 ± 0.9 days in the CC group. In patients on MV who received NaIHS, the ALOS was lower than in the CC group. In both NaIHS-treated groups, a rapid reversal of deterioration in oxygenation and NEWS2 scores was observed acutely after initiation of NaIHS therapy. No serious adverse events were considered related to ibuprofen therapy. Mortality was lower in both NaIHS groups compared with CC groups.
    Conclusions: Treatment of COVID-19 pneumonitis with inhalational nebulized NaIHS was associated with rapid improvement in hypoxia and vital signs, with no serious adverse events attributed to therapy. Nebulized NaIHS s worthy of further study in randomized, placebo-controlled trials (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04382768).
