RESUMO

Certain types of soluble dietary fibre, such as pectin and pectic oligosaccharides from different sources, have demonstrated protective effects against inflammation in DSS-induced colitis mouse models. In this work, we have evaluated the impact of a diet enriched in apple pomace (AP-diet), an agricultural by-product with a significant content of pectin and that previously demonstrated prebiotic properties in human fecal batch fermentation models, on the gut microbiota composition, intestinal damage and inflammation markers in a DSS-induced colitis model. We found that the apple pomace enriched diet (AP-diet), providing a significant amount of pectin with demonstrated prebiotic properties, was associated with a slower increase in the disease activity index, translating into better clinical symptomatology of the animals. Histological damage scoring confirmed less severe damage in those animals receiving an AP-diet before and during the DSS administration period. Some serum inflammatory markers, such as TNFα, also demonstrated lower levels in the group receiving the AP-diet, compared to the control diet. AP-diet administration is also associated with the modulation of key taxa in the colonic microbiota of animals, such as some Lachnospiraceae genera and Ruminococcus species, including commensal short chain fatty acid producers that could play a role in attenuating inflammation at the intestinal level.

RESUMO

Dietary polyamines have been associated with slowing ageing processes and various pathologies, raising the importance of establishing reference values at different ages throughout life. This study aimed to analyse age-dependent variations in polyamine content using peripheral blood cells and plasma in a healthy and homogeneous population. Peripheral blood of 193 volunteers of both sexes (20-70 years), selected by convenience, was processed to separate cells and plasma. A pre-column derivatization method was used to determine the amines by HPLC (nmol or pmol/mg protein or nmol/ml) to analyse their association with the age (continuous or ordinal in decades) of the subjects. Putrescine and spermine weakly declined significantly in mononuclear cells with age. In erythrocytes and plasma, putrescine showed an evident decrease in the 60-70-year-old group compared to the rest. The ratios between polyamines, mainly in erythrocytes, decreased in the 60-70 years age group and increased the ratio of putrescine in mononuclear cells/erythrocytes. The ratio of putrescine in mononuclear cells/erythrocytes was higher in the 60-70-year-old age group than in the rest. In a sample of subjects (20-29 vs. 60-70 years), whole blood polyamines were not significantly different when differences existed in erythrocytes. Polyamine homeostasis in blood cells and plasma changed with age. Putrescine declined in mononuclear cells and decreased in erythrocytes and plasma in the decade of the 60 s. Further studies should establish an age-dependent phenotype and whether polyamines' supplementation could restore the decreased values and be associated with long-term overall biological benefits.

RESUMO

OBJETIVO: Identificar las razones por las cuales los estudiantes acceden al Grado en Medicina. SUJETOS Y MÉTODOS: Estudiantes de primer curso de Grado en Medicina de los años académicos 2014-2015, 2015-2016 y 2017-2018 realizaron una descripción abierta de sus razones de acceso al grado. Éstas se identificaron y clasificaron para su análisis, y se calculó el número de razones aducidas por el conjunto y en cada año académico, y su distribución según sexo. Se clasificaron en categorías para su comparación con otros estudios. RESULTADOS: Participaron 367 estudiantes (252 mujeres y 115 hombres). La diferencia en el porcentaje medio de respuesta entre mujeres (83,71 ± 4,8%) y hombres (82,4 ± 5,1%) no fue estadísticamente significativa. Los estudiantes justificaron su acceso por una media de 2,5 ± 0,06 razones, sin diferencias de sexo ni entre los tres años académicos. Se identificaron 23 razones diferentes para acceder al grado, que se agruparon en categorías, siendo las principales el altruismo, el conocimiento científico, los motivos instrumentales y las razones personales. Aumentó significativamente el acceso por adquisición de conocimiento entre los cursos 2014-2015 y 2017-2018 y se redujeron los accesos por vocación. La consideración social de la medicina o la imagen social del médico se invocaron con muy poca frecuencia. Las mujeres refieren con más frecuencia los motivos altruistas y los relacionados con el conocimiento para el acceso, pero sin diferencias significativas. CONCLUSIÓN: Los valores altruistas continúan siendo los más frecuentes motivos de acceso al Grado en Medicina. La vocación se reduce y la adquisición de conocimientos científicos aumenta como motivos de acceso


AIM: To identify the reasons why students access the Degree in Medicine. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: First-year medical students in 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2017-18 provided an open description of their reasons for access to the degree. These were identified and classified for analysis, the number of reasons given by the whole and in each academic year, as well as their distribution according to gender was calculated. They were classified into categories for comparison with other studies. RESULTS: A total of 367 students (252 women and 115 men) participated. The distribution of women (83.71 ± 4.8%) and men (82.4 ± 5.1%) was not statistically significant. The students justified their access for an average of 2.5 ± 0.06 reasons, with no gender differences or between the three academic years. Twenty-three different reasons for accessing the degree were identified and grouped into categories, the main ones being altruism, scientific knowledge, instrumental motives and personal reasons. There was a significant increase in access through knowledge acquisition between the 2014-15 and 2017-18 academic years, and a reduction in access by vocation. The social consideration of medicine or the social image of the doctor is rarely invoked by students as a reason for accessing the degree. Women refer altruistic and knowledge-related motives for access more frequently than men, but without significant differences. CONCLUSION: Altruistic values continue to be the most frequent reasons for accessing to the Degree in Medicine. The vocation is reduced and the acquisition of scientific knowledge increases as reasons for access

RESUMO

Las noticias de prensa tienen potencial interés formativo en estudiantes de ciencias de la salud por una serie de motivos: a) son frecuentes; b) cubren, al menos parcialmente, la demanda social de información sobre salud; c) aportan información sobre hechos incidentales de forma ágil, lo que favorece el debate crítico; d) permiten la apropiación social del conocimiento propio de las profesiones sanitarias incluyendo la educación para la salud; e) permiten apreciar la difusión del lenguaje médico; f) aportan el contexto sociológico que puede condicionar, al menos en parte, la enfermedad, su imagen social y las medidas que los sistemas públicos ponen en funcionamiento para la atención a los ciudadanos; g) facilitan el desarrollo de competencias de análisis crítico, habilidades de documentación y comunicación; y h) se adaptan bien a la utilización de diferentes metodologías docentes. El artículo propone aspectos de interés formativo a los que pueden contribuir las noticias de prensa, y presenta ejemplos para el abordaje de algunos de ellos


Press news have a potential educational interest in students of health sciences for several reasons: a) they are frequent; b) cover, at least partially, the social demand for health information; c) provide information on incidental events in an agile manner, which favors critical debate; d) allow the social appropriation of knowledge of health professions including health education; e) allow to know the diffusion of medical language; f) provide the sociological context that can condition, at least in part, the disease, its social image and the measures that the public systems put into operation for the care of citizens; g) facilitate the development of critical analysis skills, documentation and communication skills; and h) adapt well to the use of different teaching methodologies. The article proposes aspects of formative interest to which press news can contribute, and presents examples for addressing some of them

RESUMO

Objetivo: Describir los temas más frecuentes sobre ciencia y tecnología, medicina y salud, y medicamentos en prensa escrita durante el período 2001-2016, seleccionados por su potencial interés formativo. Materiales y métodos: Se seleccionaron noticias de la colección CONPRE Oviedo. Los criterios de selección incluyen: título alusivo, autor identificable, noticia basada en hechos reales y contener una narración completa. Las noticias se agruparon por temas y se realizó una distribución dentro de cada apartado. Resultados: Se seleccionaron 1.933 noticias sobre ciencia y tecnología, 2.001 sobre medicina y salud y 1.960 sobre medicamentos. Los temas más frecuentes en ciencia y tecnología fueron la investigación fundamental y biomédica, el genoma y aspectos sociales de la política de investigación. Las enfermedades más citadas se clasificaron en las categorías 1 ('ciertas enfermedades infecciosas y parasitarias'), 10 ('enfermedades del aparato respiratorio'), y 15 ('embarazo, parto y puerperio') de la CIE-10, siendo también numerosas las referidas a salud pública. Los grupos de medicamentos más frecuentes en las noticias pertenecen a los grupos J ('antiinfecciosos para uso sistémico') y G ('sistema genitourinario y hormonas sexuales'). Un número elevado de medicamentos se clasifican como agentes dopantes, o como drogas según el Real Decreto 2829/1977. Se observaron dos patrones, uno incidental y otro mantenido en el tiempo. Conclusión: La cantidad y diversidad de noticias seleccionadas sugieren la potencial utilidad formativa de la prensa escrita en estudiantes de ciencias de la salud


Aim: To describe the most frequent topics on science and technology, medicine and health, and drugs in newspaper articles from 2001-2016 selected for their potential formative interest. Materials and methods: Newspaper articles from the CONPRE Oviedo collection were used in this study. The selection criteria are allusive title, identifiable author, articles based on real events, and articles that contain a complete narration. They were grouped in to common themes and a classification was made within each section. Results: We selected 1933 newspaper on science and technology, 2001 on medicine and health, and 1960 on drugs. The most frequent topics in science and technology were fundamental and biomedical research, the genome and social aspects of research policy. The most cited diseases were classified to be from categories 1 ('certain infectious and parasitic diseases'), 10 ('diseases of the respiratory system'), and 15 ('pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium') of the ICD-10. Additionally, articles referring to public health were also numerous. The most frequent drugs groups in the newspaper belong to the groups J ('anti-infectives for systemic use') and G ('genitourinary system and sexual hormones'). A large number of drugs are classified as doping agents, or as narcotics and psychotropic drugs according to RD 2829/1977. Two patterns were observed, one incidental and the other maintained over time. Conclusion: The number and diversity of selected news suggests the formative potential of the written press in health sciences students

RESUMO

Objetivo: Analizar la distribución de competencias generales y específicas de investigación en los Grados en Medicina. Sujetos y métodos: Se utilizaron las memorias de verificación, las fichas de las asignaturas y la información del Registro de Universidades, Centros y Titulaciones como bases documentales para el estudio. Las competencias generales y específicas analizadas son las contenidas en la Orden ECI 332/2008. Se consideraron asignaturas de investigación las que así lo indican en su denominación, y complementarias, aquellas otras relacionadas con el proceso de investigación. Resultados: El Grado en Medicina es impartido en 40 universidades, que proponen 49 asignaturas de investigación: 22,5% básicas, 40,8% obligatorias y 36,7% optativas. Las asignaturas complementarias identificadas fueron 91: 46,1% básicas, 41,8% obligatorias y 12,1% optativas. Las competencias generales de investigación se encuentran mayoritariamente en asignaturas relacionadas con los módulos 'Medicina social, habilidades de comunicación e iniciación a la investigación' y 'Prácticas tuteladas y trabajo de fin de grado', mientras que las competencias específicas se concentran en los módulos 'Medicina social' y 'Optatividad'. Algunos grados no asignan competencias generales (n = 11) ni específicas (n = 30) de investigación al trabajo de fin de grado; de los que lo hacen, 16 le atribuyen todas las competencias generales, y cinco, todas las específicas. Conclusiones: La distribución de competencias y la presencia de asignaturas de investigación es heterogénea. En pocas universidades, el trabajo de fin de grado tiene una clara orientación a la investigación. Los grados en general no están orientados a la investigación


Aim: To analyse the distribution of general and specific research competences in Medicine Degrees. Subjects and methods: Verification reports, subject sheets and information included in the RUCT were used as documentary bases for the study. The general and specific competences analysed were those contained in the legislation ECI 332/2008. As research subjects were considered those that mentioned research in their name, and as complementary subjects those related with the research process. Results: Medicine Degree is taught at 40 universities across Spain, with 49 research subjects: 22.5% core, 40.8% mandatory and 36.7% optional. Ninety-one complementary subjects have been identified: 46.1% core, 41.8% mandatory and 12.1% optional. General research competences were found to a greater extent in subjects related to the module 'Social Medicine, Communication Skills and Initiation to Research' and the module 'Clinical Clerkships and Degree Final Project'. The specific competences were focused on modules 'Social Medicine' and 'Optional'. Several degrees analysed did not assign competences of research to the degree final project, neither general (n = 11) nor specific (n = 30) competences. However, other degrees assigned competences of research attributed to general and specific research competences with a distribution of sixteen and five, respectively. Conclusions: The distribution of competences and the presence of research subjects across Medicine Degrees in Spain was very heterogeneous. Surprisingly, only in a few universities the degree final project has a clear research orientation, suggesting a main focus on clinical medicine. Medicine Degree are not oriented to research

Cada grupo, de 2-4 estudiantes, trabajó bajo la dirección de un tutor, realizó presentaciones y elaboró un manuscrito sobre su actividad. En 'Proyectos 3', presentaron un póster con la actividad de los tres cursos que se expuso en una jornada monográfi ca. La evaluación de la satisfacción de los estudiantes se realizó mediante una encuesta. Resultados: En total, 546 estudiantes han iniciado la experiencia en 'Proyectos 1', de los que el 43,9% la completan. El número de tutores participantes ha sido de 83. Se han abordado 195 temas de investigación, de los que el 59% son de investigación clínica, el 31% de investigación fundamental y el 10% de otros. Las califi caciones obtenidas han sido superiores a 9 puntos sobre 10. La encuesta resalta que los estudiantes valoran el papel de los tutores y el potencial formativo de la actividad. Conclusión: El diseño de los cursos permite que el estudiante tome contacto con diferentes aspectos del proceso de investigación, actividad que consideran gratifi cante y apropiada a su formación como médico


Aim: To present the experience of an initiation in to research for medical students through optional courses: 'Research Projects of Degree' (1, 2, and 3). Subjects and methods: Medical students in their second, third, and fourth year from the academic years 2011-2012 to 2017-2018, enrolled consecutively in the subjects: 'Projects 1', identifi cation of the topic, documentation and elaboration of hypotheses and objectives; 'Projects 2', methodological design and acquisition of data; and 'Projects 3', scientifi c disclosure. Each group, of 2-4 students, did a research project under the supervision of a tutor; the research project was presented orally and on paper. In 'Projects 3', students made a poster about the activities performed during the three courses, posters were shown in a monographic exhibition. Evaluation of student satisfaction was carried out through a survey. Results: A total of 546 students started the experience in 'Projects 1', of which 43.9% completed it. The number of participating tutors was 83, addressing 195 research topics, of which 59% were clinical research, 31% fundamental research and 10% were termed others. The scores obtained in these courses were higher than 9 points out of 10. The survey highlights the important role of advisers and the training potential of the activity. Conclusion: The design of the course allows the students to be in contact with diff erent aspects of the biomedical research processes. Students considered the activity rewarding, useful, and appropriate to their training as a physician

INTRODUCCIÓN Y OBJETIVO: Las habilidades de observación pueden facilitarse mediante la descripción de obras de arte. Presentamos una experiencia de observación y descripción de obras pictóricas desarrollada en la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Oviedo. Sujetos y métodos: Los estudiantes (150-155/curso) realizaron 2 seminarios (4 h y 45 min) en subgrupos de 4-5. En el primer seminario, el profesor comenta los objetivos generales y particulares y realiza un ejercicio de lectura de varios cuadros incidiendo en los aspectos que debe observar el estudiante. En el segundo, cada subgrupo expone la tarea realizada sobre los cuadros asignados. Se evaluó el contenido, la organización y la expresión oral. La evaluación de la satisfacción de los estudiantes se realizó mediante una encuesta. RESULTADOS: Las obras de arte utilizadas han sido 90, con predominio de las realizadas en los siglos XVII (n = 30) y XIX (n = 32). De los 9 apartados que contiene la actividad de observación, descripción y documentación, analizada en los cursos 2015-2016 y 2016-2017, los estudiantes cumplimentaron una media de 6,9 ± 0,28 y 6,4 ± 0,25, respectivamente, e identificaron 2,7 ± 0,24 frente a 3,02 ± 0,26 elementos de interés médico. Las calificaciones de la presentación oral fueron superiores al 90% de la máxima posible. La encuesta, cumplimentada por el 95,4% de los asistentes, muestra que el 78,3% de los estudiantes está satisfecho con la actividad y el 63,4% la considera relevante para su formación médica. CONCLUSIÓN: La observación y descripción de obras de arte es aceptada por los estudiantes de medicina como una actividad educativa relevante en su formación


INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Art-based teaching is a strategy for increasing the observational skills of medical students. We present our experience using artworks with first-year students in the Faculty of Medicine, University of Oviedo. Subjects and methods: The activity was performed in the form of 2 seminars (4 h and 45 min). Students (150-155 per year) perform this activity in subgroups of 4 or 5. In the first seminar, the lecturer explains the general and specific aims, and presents several pictures with the relevant aspects that the students should observe. During the second of the seminars, each group presents the work they have carried out on the assigned artistic image. The contents, structure and oral expression of the presentations were evaluated. Student satisfaction was measured using a questionnaire. RESULTS: The number of paintings used was 90, distributed from XVII (n = 30), XIX (n = 32) and others centuries (n = 28). An evaluation of the observation, description and documentation of the artworks was performed through 9 questions. The students of the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 academic course completed 6.9 ± 0.28 and 6.4 ± 0.25 of these items. Likewise, these students identified 2.7 ± 0.24 vs. 3.02 ± 0.26 elements of medical interest. Oral presentations scores were over 90% of the maximum possible. A survey, completed by 95.4% of participant's suggested that 78.3% were satisfied with the activity, and that 63.4% considered it relevant for their medical training. CONCLUSION: The observation and description of artworks is accepted by students as a relevant educational activity for their medical education

Las enfermedades más descritas fueron la mononucleosis infecciosa, la diabetes mellitus y la tuberculosis pulmonar. Las calificaciones de los estudiantes oscilaron entre 0,89 ± 0,01 y 0,96 ± 0,01 puntos (máximo: 1 punto). El 93,84% de los participantes otorga a la actividad una calificación de 3,77 puntos sobre 5. Conclusión. Los estudiantes tienen una opinión favorable de la actividad y consideran que puede contribuir a la aproximación precoz a algunos aspectos de la profesión médica


Aim. To present an experience of approaching the clinic developed with first-year students in the Faculty of Medicine of Oviedo. Subjects and methods. The activity was performed over six academic years, in the form of two seminars (4 hours and 45 minutes) as part of a compulsory subject in the first year of the Medical degree of the University of Oviedo. Students (150- 155 per year) perform this activity in subgroups of 4-5. In the first seminar, the lecturer explains the general and specific aims, and presents a clinical history with the relevant aspects that the students should observe. During the second of the seminars, each group presents the clinical history selected. Contents, structure, oral presentations and student satisfaction were evaluated. Results. The number of submitted case histories was 192. The most frequent being sick males, aged between 14 and 44. The most described categories of diseases according to the ICD-10 were those of the nervous system, behavioral and mental disorders, infectious and parasitic diseases, and digestive tract diseases. The most common diseases were infectious mononucleosis, diabetes mellitus and pulmonary tuberculosis. The student scores ranged from 0.89 ± 0.01 to 0.96 ± 0.01 points (maximum score: 1 point). A survey, completed by 93.84% of participant's, gave a score of 3.77 points out of 5. Conclusion. The students had a favorable view of the same and they believe that it can contribute to an early approach to some aspects of the medical profession

RESUMO

Background: Gastrointestinal motility modulatory factors include substances of the intestinal content, such as polyamines and trace amines (TAs), the focus of this study. Methods: The amines of food, intestinal content and from faecal bacteria of Swiss mice were determined by HPLC and functionally characterised in isolated distal ileum and medial colon rings. Results: Mouse food and intestinal content contain polyamines (spermidine>putrescine>spermine) and TAs (isoamylamine>cadaverine). Intestinal bacteria mainly produce putrescine and cadaverine. The amines inhibited the spontaneous motility of the ileum (0.1-3 mM) and colon rings (0.01-3 mM, with lower IC50), with: spermine~isoamylamine~spermidine. Spermine inhibition was tetrodotoxin (TTX)-insensitive, while isoamylamine was TTX-sensitive, suggesting neural control. Mainly in the ileum, isoamylamine (3 mM) elicited acute effects modified by TTX, atropine and propranolol, and suppressed by spermine (3 mM), not being localized at the smooth muscle level. The amines assayed (3 mM), except putrescine and cadaverine in the ileum and isoamylamine in the colon, antagonised acetylcholine (ACh, 0.1 mM)-elicited phasic contractions. Isoamylamine and spermine in colon relaxed KCl (100 mM)-elicited tonic contractions, suggesting an effect on smooth muscle, but did not justify the suppression of motility caused by spermine and isoamylamine. Conclusions: Polyamines and TAs of the intestinal content might act on chemosensors and modulate intestinal peristalsis.

RESUMO

Estrogens facilitate prolactin (PRL) secretion acting on pituitary cells. In GH3 cells, estradiol induces acute action potentials and oscillations of intracellular Ca2+ associated with the secretagogue function. Estradiol modulates several ion channels which may affect the action potential rate and the release of PRL in lactotroph cells, which might depend on its concentration. The aims were to characterize the acute effect of supraphysiological concentrations of estradiol on Ca2+ and noninactivating K+ currents and measure the effect on the spontaneous action potentials and PRL release in the somatolactotroph cell line, GH3. Electrophysiological studies were carried out by voltage- and current-clamp techniques and ELISA determination of PRL secretion. Pharmacological concentrations of estradiol (above 1 µM), without a latency period, blocked Ca2+ channels and noninactivating K+ currents, including the large-conductance voltage- and Ca2+-activated K+ channels (BK), studied in whole-cell nystatin perforated and in excided inside-out patches of GH3 and CHO cells, transiently transfected with the human α-pore forming subunit of BK. The effect on BK was contrary to the agonist effect associated with the regulatory ß1-subunits of the BK, which GH3 cells lack, but its transient transfection did not modify the noninactivating current blockade, suggesting a different mechanism of regulation. Estradiol, at the same concentration range, acutely decreased the frequency of action potentials, an expected effect as consequence of the Ca2+ channel blockade. Despite this, PRL secretion initially increased, followed by a decrease in long-term incubations. This suggests that, in GH3 cells, supraphysiological concentrations of estradiol modulating PRL secretion are partially independent of extracellular Ca2+ influx.

RESUMO

Introducción: La literatura es una disciplina humanística con un papel formativo en los estudiantes de medicina. Sujetos y métodos: La actividad presentada se ha realizado en tres cursos académicos en una asignatura optativa del segundo curso del grado en Medicina. Los objetivos y ejemplos de la relación entre literatura y profesión médica se presentan en una sesión (dos horas). Posteriormente, los estudiantes eligen un libro y realizan un trabajo sobre él. Se ha evaluado la capacidad argumental, de síntesis, de redacción, de profundidad y de organización de los trabajos. La satisfacción del alumno con la actividad se midió mediante una encuesta. Resultados: Un número creciente de estudiantes (54 a 127) han participado en la asignatura; se han utilizado un total de 90 libros (el 45,5% posterior al año 2000), y El árbol de la ciencia ha sido el más comentado. Las enfermedades infecciosas (15,5%), psiquiátricas (15,5%), neurológicas (13,8%) y oncológicas (10,3%) fueron las tratadas con más frecuencia, y los temas relacionados con el médico (33,1%), el paciente (22,3%), y la relación médico-paciente (12,7%), los referidos con más frecuencia. Las puntuaciones medias obtenidas por los estudiantes en la actividad han oscilado entre 8,3 y 9 (sobre 10). La opinión sobre la actividad ha sido favorable y considerada útil para diferentes aspectos de la medicina: formación humanística (4,5 sobre 5), relación médico-paciente (4,5), actitud del paciente ante la enfermedad (4,4) o dimensión social de la enfermedad (4,4). Conclusión: La actividad ha sido valorada favorablemente por los estudiantes, que la consideran útil para contribuir a diferentes aspectos formativos de los estudiantes de medicina


Introduction: Literature is one of the humanistic disciplines playing a role in the training of medical students. Subjects and methods: The activity has been performed over three academic years included in an optional subject of the second year of the Medicine Degree. Professor introduced the activity and showed examples of the relationship between literature and aspects of the medical profession in a two-hour class. Then, students chosen a book and prepared a written assignment on such book. Results: An increasing number of students (from 54 to 127) have taken the course; a total of 90 books were used (45.5% published after 2000) being El árbol de la ciencia (The Tree of Knowledge), the most commented one. Infectious (15.5%), psychiatric (15.5%), neurologic (13.8%) and oncologic diseases (10.3%) were the most frequently discussed and issues related to doctors (33.1%), patients (22.1%) and the doctor-patient relationship were the most frequently cited. Students’ scores on the activity ranged from 8.3 and 9 (out of 10) in the three years. Opinions regarding the activity have been positive and it has been considered useful for different aspects of Medicine: the humanistic formation (4.5 out of 5), the doctor-patient relationship (4.5), the patient’s attitude towards disease (4.4) or the social dimension of disease (4.4). Conclusion: The activity has been favorably evaluated by students who consider it useful in the training of medical students

RESUMO

Introducción: La lectura y el análisis de textos narrativos pueden contribuir a la adquisición de las competencias humanísticas que deben adquirir los estudiantes de medicina. Este trabajo presenta una actividad realizada con este fin. Sujetos y métodos: La actividad se ha realizado durante cinco años dentro de una asignatura obligatoria del primer curso del grado de Medicina en la Universidad de Oviedo, en dos seminarios (cuatro horas). Los estudiantes (150-155/año) realizan la actividad en subgrupos de cuatro-cinco. En el primer seminario, el profesor comenta dos poemas para iniciar a los estudiantes en la identificación de términos relacionados con la medicina. En el segundo, cada subgrupo expone el análisis realizado sobre un relato asignado por el profesor. Se evaluó el contenido y la organización del trabajo, así como la exposición oral. La evaluación de la satisfacción de los estudiantes se realizó mediante una encuesta. Resultados: Se han utilizado 79 relatos, de los que 33 han sido comentados en dos-tres cursos académicos. Las puntuaciones obtenidas por los estudiantes en la actividad han variado entre 3,59 ± 0,11 y 3,85 ± 0,05 sobre cuatro en los diferentes cursos. Los estudiantes han mostrado su satisfacción con la actividad y resaltan (sobre 5) que la formación humanista (3,9), la descripción de enfermedades (4), la relación médico-paciente (3,7), la dimensión social (3,8) y la actitud del paciente ante la enfermedad (3,8) pueden adquirirse mediante el análisis de textos literarios. Conclusión: La lectura y el análisis de textos literarios permiten aproximar a los estudiantes a aspectos relevantes de la práctica profesional ausente durante el grado


Introduction: Reading and analysis of narrative texts may contribute to the acquisition of humanistic skills required for medical students. This article presents an activity performed to this aim. Subjects and methods: The activity has been performed over five academic years, in the form of two seminars (four hours) as a part of an obligatory subject in the first year of the Medicine degree of the University of Oviedo. Students (150-155 per year) perform this activity in subgroups of four-five. At the first seminar, the teacher comments two poems in order to initiate the students in the identification of medical terms. During the second of the seminars, every group presented an analysis of a short story assigned by the teacher. Contents, structure and oral presentations were evaluated. Student satisfaction was measured in a survey. Results: We used 79 stories whose 33 were commented in two-three academic courses. Students' mean scores on this activity ranged from 3.59 ± 0.11 to 3.85 ± 0.05 out of 4 in the different courses. Students expressed satisfaction with the activity and stressed (out of 5 points) that the humanistic formation (3.9), the description of diseases (4), the doctor-patient relationship (3.7), the social dimension (3.7) and the patient's attitude towards disease (3.8) may be acquired through the analysis of literary texts. Conclusion: Reading and analysis of literary texts allow students to approach relevant aspects of the professional practice absent in the curriculum of the degree

RESUMO

Introducción: Este trabajo presenta y evalúa un ejercicio formativo en relación al papel potencial de la prensa en la divulgación científica y en la apropiación de la ciencia por los ciudadanos. Sujetos y métodos: Participaron 161 alumnos distribuidos en grupos de 5-6 para realizar el trabajo propuesto en forma de seminario. Los alumnos seleccionaron artículos de ciencia y medicina publicados en diarios nacionales o regionales para identificar en ellos términos científicos y médicos y formar opinión para manifestar su acuerdo con la siguiente afirmación: ‘la debilidad de la cultura científica española se debe a su escasa divulgación'. Resultados: Los alumnos seleccionaron 103 artículos e identificaron 294 términos, la mayoría relacionados con enfermedades y sólo seis con ciencias naturales. Todos los grupos coincidieron en la baja cultura científica de los españoles; el 61,29% la atribuyó a la escasa divulgación científica, mientras que el 38,71% restante consideró que la divulgación es adecuada, hay información suficiente en los diarios y en un número apreciable de revistas, además de televisión e Internet. Conclusión: Entre los alumnos existe una opinión unánime en que la cultura científica es reducida, pero no en las causas. Sin embargo, la mayoría coincide en que puede deberse a unos planes de estudios que no promueven adecuadamente la ciencia ni la cultura científica, además del poco interés de la población y de las autoridades gubernamentales en su promoción y difusión. El interés y la motivación personal pueden explicar la divergencia de opinión entre los alumnos


Introduction: This study presents and evaluates a formative exercise about the potential role of the press in scientific diffusion and in the social appropriation of science. Subjects and methods: 161 students participated in the study distributed in groups of five or six to perform the proposed assignments in a seminar form. Medicine and science articles published in national and regional newspapers were selected by the students to identify specific medical and scientific terms and to have their own opinion to agree with the statement: ‘the weakness of Spanish scientific culture is due to its limited diffusion’. Results: 103 articles were selected and 294 terms identified, most of them related with diseases and only six with natural sciences. All groups agree with the low scientific culture of the Spanish people. A 61.29% attributed this to scarce scientific communication, whereas the other 38.71% considered that scientific diffusion is adequate due to there is enough information in newspapers and magazines besides television and Internet. Conclusion: There was no unanimity about the causes of scientific backwardness. However, most students agree that it could be attributed to the little interest of Government authorities and other people in promoting science and scientific culture, what in the end is reflected also in curricula. In this study, the interest and personal motivation of each student may explain the different views between them

RESUMO

Androgens produce nongenomic effects in several cells by different mechanisms, including ion channel modulation. Adenohypophyseal cells express several K(+) channels, including voltage and Ca(2+)-dependent K(+) (BK) channels, which might be the target of androgens to modulate cellular action potentials and hormonal secretion. Androgen effects were studied in GH3 cells (from anterior pituitary rat tumor) by means of the patch-clamp technique. Cells were continuously perfused with saline solution, in the absence or presence of the androgens studied, while applying 40 mV pulses of 400 ms from a holding potential of -60 mV in whole-cell configuration with nystatin-perforated patches. Androgens reversibly blocked noninactivating K(+) currents in a concentration-dependent manner without a latency period and with an order of efficacy of: 5ß-dihydrotestosterone (DHT)>testosterone>5α-DHT. RT-PCR showed two isoforms of the α-pore forming subunits of BK channels. These channels are responsible for one third of the noninactivating current, according to the blockade of paxilline, a selective BK antagonist. Androgens seem to directly interact with BK channels since they were blocked in excised inside-out patches and independent of the whole-cell configuration and the NO-cGMP-dependent pathway. Testosterone, but not 5α- or 5ß-DHT, increased BK currents in HEK-293 cells overexpressing the short isoform, suggesting a cellular selectivity based on the α-subunits. The effect on noninactivating currents may be responsible for the decrease of spontaneous action potential frequency. Long-term cellular incubation with testosterone did not modify noninactivating currents density in GH3 cells. It is remarkable that 5ß-DHT, a reductase metabolite with weak androgenic activity, was the most efficient blocker.
