Abstract Schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental disease characterized by cerebral connectivity impairment and loss of gray matter. It was described in adult schizophrenia patients (SZP) that concentration VEGFA, master angiogenic factor, decreased. Recent evidence suggests hypoperfusion related to dysfunctional Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) SZP. Since neurogenesis blood-vessel formation occur coincident coordinated fashion, defect neurovascular development could result increased vascular...

Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC) is one of the most diagnosed cancers worldwide. It develops due to an unrestrained Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling activity in basal cells skin. Certain subtypes BCC are more aggressive than others, although molecular basis this phenomenon remains unknown. We have previously reported that Neogenin-1 (NEO1) a downstream target gene SHH/GLI pathway neural tissue. Given SHH participates epidermal homeostasis, here we analyzed expression NEO1 order identify whether it...
Background: RCM (reflectance confocal microscopy) is a noninvasive, high-resolution technology that has been proven to improve the diagnostic accuracy over clinical examination in several skin diseases. Objective: The aim of this article describe morphologic features halo nevi (HN) observed with and correlate them their dermoscopic characteristics. Method: Nine patients diagnosis HN were assessed RCM. A second assessment was performed up 12 months later. Dermoscopic global patterns obtained...
Seroprevalence of herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) infection in two clinics for sexually transmitted diseases Santiago, ChileBackground: Genital herpes, a disease caused by (HSV-2), is found 3.8% all (STD) Chile.Aim: To determine the seroprevalence and to identify an association between HSV-2 HIV-1, other STD, study its demographic characteristics.Material methods: A cross-sectional at STD public Santiago was conducted among 200 consecutive patients.Samples were tested HSV-2, syphilis...
Wound healing may be a difficult problem, and variable types of artificial skin prototypes have been developed for supporting this process. Using ultrasound, we studied 4 cellulose-derived assessed their two-dimensional three-dimensional morphology. These were identified on ultrasound both in vitro vivo studies. They allowed the sonographic observation deeper layers different surfaces body with good definition examinations performed healthy cutaneous ulcers. The detection these biomaterials...
