- ItemAbuso sexual temprano y su impacto en el bienestar actual del adulto(2021) Murillo, J.A.; Mendiburo-Seguel, A.; Santelices, M.P.; Araya, P.; Narvaez, S.; Piraino, C.; Martinez, J.; Hamilton, J.; Santelices, M.P.© 2021 Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Valparaiso. All rights reserved.The main aim of this study was to explain the possible effect of childhood sexual abuse (before the age of 18) on the current well-being of those who have suffered it, based on the analysis of a survey conducted in 2018 by the Fundación para la Confianza in the Metropolitan Region in Chile. The sample consisted of 641 participants who were administered a self-report questionnaire. The responses were grouped into three types of sexual abuse: rape, abuse with physical contact, and abuse without physical contact, they were related to sociodemographic variables, perceived impact, and subjective well-being. The results showed a clear relationship between the socioeconomic level, the type of abuse and the evaluation of the impact of the event on subjective well-being. It is discussed the need to develop more comprehensive definitions of abuse is discussed.

- ItemFaint end of the z ∼ 3-7 luminosity function of Lyman-alpha emitters behind lensing clusters observed with MUSE(2019) de La Vieuville, G.; Bina, D.; Pello, R.; Mahler, G.; Richard, J.; Drake, A. B.; Herenz, E. C.; Bauer, F. E.; Clement, B.; Lagattuta, D.; Laporte, N.; Martinez, J.; Patricio, V.; Wisotzki, L.; Zabl, J.; Bouwens, R. J.; Contini, T.; Garel, T.; Guiderdoni, B.; Marino, R. A.; Maseda, M. V.; Matthee, J.; Schaye, J.; Soucail, G.Contact. This paper presents the results obtained with the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) at the ESOVery Large Telescope on the faint end of the Lyman-alpha luminosity function (LF) based on deep observations of four lensing clusters. The goal of our project is to set strong constraints on the relative contribution of the Lyman-alpha emitter (LAE) population to cosmic reionization.

- ItemGingival Wound Healing: An Essential Response Disturbed by Aging?(2015) Smith, P. C.; Caceres, M.; Martinez, C.; Oyarzun, A.; Martinez, J.Gingival wound healing comprises a series of sequential responses that allow the closure of breaches in the masticatory mucosa. This process is of critical importance to prevent the invasion of microbes or other agents into tissues, avoiding the establishment of a chronic infection. Wound healing may also play an important role during cell and tissue reaction to long-term injury, as it may occur during inflammatory responses and cancer. Recent experimental data have shown that gingival wound healing is severely affected by the aging process. These defects may alter distinct phases of the wound-healing process, including epithelial migration, granulation tissue formation, and tissue remodeling. The cellular and molecular defects that may explain these deficiencies include several biological responses such as an increased inflammatory response, altered integrin signaling, reduced growth factor activity, decreased cell proliferation, diminished angiogenesis, reduced collagen synthesis, augmented collagen remodeling, and deterioration of the proliferative and differentiation potential of stem cells. In this review, we explore the cellular and molecular basis of these defects and their possible clinical implications.

- ItemHepatic Resection After Liver Transplantation as a Graft-Saving Procedure(2009) Guerra, J. F.; Jarufe, N.; Martinez, J.Biliary lesions and hepatic artery thrombosis are known causes of posttransplant liver failure and liver retransplantation. The shortage of organs and the results of retransplantation have forced transplant teams to developed graft-saving techniques. We report two cases who underwent hepatic resection after liver transplantation. In both cases, a left lateral segmentectomy was performed. At follow-up, the patients are well with optimal graft function. We believe this kind of resection represents an adequate alternative in selected cases and must be considered before enlistment for retransplantation.

- ItemMUSE observations towards the lensing cluster A2744: Intersection between the LBG and LAE populations at z ∼ 3-7(2020) de La Vieuville, G.; Pello, R.; Richard, J.; Mahler, G.; Leveque, L.; Bauer, F. E.; Lagattuta, D. J.; Blaizot, J.; Contini, T.; Guaita, L.; Kusakabe, H.; Laporte, N.; Martinez, J.; Maseda, M., V; Schaerer, D.; Schmidt, K. B.; Verhamme, A.We present a study of the intersection between the populations of star forming galaxies selected as either Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) or Lyman-alpha emitters (LAEs) in the redshift range 2.9-6.7 and within the same volume of universe sampled by the Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) behind the Hubble Frontier Fields lensing cluster A2744. We define three samples of star-forming galaxies: LBG galaxies with an LAE counterpart (92 galaxies), LBG galaxies without an LAE counterpart (408 galaxies), and LAE galaxies without an LBG counterpart (46 galaxies). All these galaxies are intrinsically faint because of the lensing nature of the sample (M-1500 >=-20.5). The fraction of LAEs among all selected star-forming galaxies increases with redshift up to z similar to 6 and decreases for higher redshifts, in agreement with previous findings. The evolution of LAE/LBG populations with UV magnitude and Ly alpha luminosity shows that the LAE selection is able to identify intrinsically UV faint galaxies with M-1500 >=-15 that are typically missed in the deepest lensing photometric surveys. The LBG population seems to fairly represent the total population of star-forming galaxies down to M-1500 similar to-15. Galaxies with M-1500<-17 tend to have SFRLy alpha-17, including galaxies only detected by their Ly alpha emission, with a large scatter. These trends, previously observed in other samples of star-forming galaxies at high-z, are seen here for very faint M-1500 similar to-15 galaxies; that is, much fainter than in previous studies. The present results show no clear evidence for an intrinsic difference between the properties of the two populations selected as LBG and/or LAE. The observed trends could be explained by a combination of several phenomena, like the existence of different star-formation regimes, the dust content, the relative distribution and morphology of dust and stars, or the stellar populations.
- ItemNOX4-dependent ROS production by stromal mammary cells modulates epithelial MCF-7 cell migration(2010) Tobar, N.; Guerrero, J.; Smith, P. C.; Martinez, J.BACKGROUND: The influence of the stromal microenvironment on the progression of epithelial cancers has been demonstrated. Unravelling the mechanisms by which stromal cells affect epithelial behaviour will contribute in understanding cellular malignancy. It has been proposed that redox environment has a role in the acquisition of malignancy. In this work, we studied the influence of epithelial cells on the stromal redox status and the consequence of this phenomenon on MCF-7 cell motility.
- ItemOverexpression of Lin28a delays Xenopus metamorphosis and down-regulates albumin independently of its translational regulation domain(2019) Gundermann, D.G.; Martinez, J.; De Kervor, G.; González Pinto, Karina; Larraín Correa, Juan Agustín; Faunes Quinteros, Fernando Emerson
- ItemSimvastatin alters fibroblastic cell responses involved in tissue repair(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2011) Caceres, M.; Romero, A.; Copaja, M.; Diaz Araya, G.; Martinez, J.; Smith, P. C.Background and Objective: Statins have been used to control hypercholesterolemia. However, these drugs also exert pleiotropic effects that include the modulation of inflammation and cell signaling. The present study has analyzed the effects of simvastatin on several cell responses involved in tissue repair, including cell adhesion, cell migration and invasion, actin cytoskeleton remodeling and cell viability.
