The aim of this study was to investigate the pain score reductions when children with acute abdominal pain received medication sublingually.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We carried out a multicentre randomised controlled trial in three children's hospitals in Italy between March 2015 and June 2017. Children from four to 18 years of age with acute abdominal pain were recruited if their self-reported pain was at least six on a scale from 0-10. The children were randomised to receive ketorolac 0.5 mg/kg (n = 70) or tramadol 2 mg/kg (n = 70) sublingually or a melt in the mouth powder of 20 mg/kg paracetamol (n = 70). The main study outcome was the pain scores for the three drugs after two hours.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The 210 children (58.6% girls) had a median age of 12 years with an interquartile range of 9-14.3. The median pain scores at two hours were not significantly different between ketorolac 2.0 (interquartile ranges, IQR 0.0-4.3) and tramadol 3.0 (IQR 1.0-5.0) vs paracetamol 3.0 (IQR 0.8-5.0). The median pain reductions were all 5.0 points.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Delivering analgesia sublingually was a suitable option for pain relief in children with acute abdominal pain in the emergency department.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30043434?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mazzoni, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Frontini, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rotondo, John Charles</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanotta, Nunzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fioravanti, Arianna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minelli, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Torreggiani, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campisciano, Giuseppina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guerra, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Touzé, Antoine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martini, Fernanda</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tognon, Mauro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comar, Manola</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antibodies reacting to mimotopes of Simian virus 40 large T antigen, the viral oncoprotein, in sera from children.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Cell Physiol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Serum antibodies against SV40 large T antigen (Tag) were analyzed in children/adolescents and young adults. To investigate antibodies reacting to SV40 Tag antigens, serum samples ( n = 812) from children and young adults were analyzed by indirect ELISAs using specific SV40 Tag mimotopes. Mimotopes were synthetic peptides corresponding to SV40 Tag epitopes. In sera ( n = 412) from healthy children up to 17 years old, IgG antibodies against SV40 Tag mimotopes reached an overall prevalence of 15%. IgM antibodies against SV40 Tag were detected in sera of children 6-8 months old confirming and extending the knowledge that SV40 seroconversion occurs early in life. In children/adolescents affected by different diseases ( n = 180) SV40 Tag had a prevalence of 18%, being the difference no significant compared to healthy subjects ( n = 220; 16%) of the same age. Our immunological data indicate that SV40 circulates in children and young adults, both in healthy conditions and affected by distinct diseases. The IgM detection in sera from healthy children suggests that the SV40 infection/seroconversion occurs early in life (&gt;6 months). Our immunological data support the hypothesis that SV40, or a closely related still unknown polyomavirus, infects humans. The SV40 seroprevalence is lower than common polyomaviruses, such as BKPyV and JCPyV, and other new human polyomaviruses. In addition, our immunological surveillance indicates a lack of association between different diseases, considered herein, and SV40.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30362540?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Naviglio, Samuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lacorte, Doriana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lucafò, Marianna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cifù, Adriana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Favretto, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cuzzoni, Eva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Silvestri, Tania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pozzi Mucelli, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radillo, Oriano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decorti, Giuliana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabris, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bramuzzo, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taddio, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stocco, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alvisi, Patrizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelossi, Stefano</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Causes of Treatment Failure in Children With Inflammatory Bowel Disease Treated With Infliximab: A Pharmacokinetic Study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

There is increasing evidence suggesting that treatment failure may be classified as mechanistic (pharmacodynamic), pharmacokinetic, or immune-mediated. Data regarding the contribution of these factors in children with IBD treated with infliximab (IFX) are still incomplete. The aim was to assess the causes of treatment failure in a prospective cohort of pediatric patients treated with IFX.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;This observational study considered 49 pediatric (median age 14.4) IBD patients (34 Crohn disease, 15 ulcerative colitis) treated with IFX. Serum samples were collected at 6, 14, 22 and 54 weeks, before IFX infusions. IFX and anti-infliximab antibodies (AIA) were measured using enzyme linked immunosorbent assays. Disease activity was determined by Pediatric Crohn's Disease Activity Index or Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Clinical remission, defined as a clinical score &lt;10, was obtained by 76.3% of patients at week 14 and by 73.9% at week 54. Median trough IFX concentration was higher at all time points in patients achieving sustained clinical remission. IFX levels during maintenance correlated also with C-reactive protein, albumin, and fecal calprotectin. After multivariate analysis, IFX concentration at week 14 &gt;3.11 μg/mL emerged as the strongest predictor of sustained clinical remission. AIA concentrations were correlated inversely with IFX concentrations and directly with adverse reactions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Most cases of therapeutic failure were associated with low serum drug levels. IFX trough levels at the end of induction are associated with sustained long-term response.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30211845?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanotta, Nunzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Skerk, Kristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Luppi, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martinelli, Monica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comar, Manola</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cervico-vaginal secretion cytokine profile: A non-invasive approach to study the endometrial receptivity in IVF cycles.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Reprod Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am.

The aim of this study was to investigate the profile of a large set of cytokines in the cervico-vaginal washing of women undergoing IVF, to explore the association of these proteins with a good receptive endometrium.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHOD OF STUDY: &lt;/b&gt;A cohort of 155 women scheduled for IVF cycle was recruited. All patients were asymptomatic for genitourinary infections and had been screened for chlamydia, mycoplasma, and other bacterial infections. All IVF subjects were treated according to standard clinical and laboratory protocols. A panel of 48 immune factors was analyzed on cervico-vaginal washing, using magnetic bead-based multiplex immunoassays (Bio-Plex, BIO-RAD Laboratories, Milano, Italy).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;A total of 99 patients reached embryo transfer, of which 31 had a clinical pregnancy. A pattern of four pro-inflammatory immune molecules, IL-12p40, IFN-a, MIF, and MCP3 (P &lt; 0.001), was found significantly up-regulated in the cervico-vaginal fluid of women with clinical pregnancy. A significantly increased expression of IL-9, Gro , and SDF-1 (P &lt; 0.05) was observed in the presence of endometriosis, while high levels of IL-13 and L-15 were associated with ovulatory infertility factor (P &lt; 0.05).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;In this pilot study, we demonstrated that the expression of specific cytokines in the cervico-vaginal washing on the day of oocyte retrieval might have a positive correlation with the potential clinical pregnancy. Therefore, cervico-vaginal secretion cytokine profiling might be a new, non-invasive approach to study the endometrial receptivity in IVF management.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30475413?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benelli, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Naviglio, Samuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Leo, Luigina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stera, Giacomo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giangreco, Manuela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Villanacci, Vincenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelossi, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Not, Tarcisio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Changing Epidemiology of Liver Involvement in Children With Celiac Disease.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

We sought to evaluate prevalence, clinical course, and risk factors for liver involvement in a large cohort of children with CD.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Children (age 0-18 years) diagnosed with CD from March 2010 to April 2016 were enrolled. Liver involvement was considered to be present when alanine transaminase (ALT) levels were &gt;40 U/L (hypertransaminasemia [HTS]). Patients with HTS were re-evaluated after at least 12 months of a gluten-free diet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;CD was diagnosed in 806 patients during the study period; of these, ALT levels were available for 700 patients (86.9%), and were elevated in 27 (3.9%, HTS group); median ALT and aspartate transaminase levels in the HTS group were 57 U/L (interquartile range 49-80 U/L) and 67 U/L (interquartile range 53-85 U/L), respectively. Younger age, malabsorption symptoms, and low hemoglobin or ferritin were significantly more common in the HTS group at univariate analysis. At multivariate analysis, only age ≤4.27 years correlated with risk of liver involvement (odds ratio 3.73; 95% confidence interval: 1.61-8.66). When retested on a gluten-free diet, all but 3 patients normalized ALT levels; of these, 1 was diagnosed with sclerosing cholangitis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Liver involvement in celiac children is now less frequent than previously reported, possibly due to changing CD epidemiology. Younger age is the only risk factor. Associated autoimmune liver disease is rare.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30499881?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Russo, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Karadja, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Seta, F</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Evidence-based mixture containing Lactobacillus strains and lactoferrin to prevent recurrent bacterial vaginosis: a double blind, placebo controlled, randomised clinical trial.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benef Microbes</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benef Microbes</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019 Feb 08</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19-26</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is the most common cause of vaginal discomfort in women. It is characterised by abnormal vaginal microbiota with a depletion of lactobacilli and predominance of anaerobic microorganisms, mainly Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vaginae. Although antibiotics represent an effective therapeutic option in the short-term, recurrent infections still remain a serious problem. Nowadays, evidence exists about the efficacy of probiotics for the management of BV. The aim of the current double blind, randomised clinical trial was to assess the efficacy of a probiotic mixture, including Lactobacillus acidophilus GLA-14 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus HN001, in combination with bovine lactoferrin, as adjuvant therapy to metronidazole in women with recurrent BV. In particular, normalisation of Nugent score, remission of symptoms and recurrences during a six-months follow-up were assessed. 48 adult women received metronidazole (500 mg twice daily) for 7 days and randomly assigned to take simultaneously either probiotics plus lactoferrin or placebo (2 capsules/day for 5 days followed by 1 capsule/day for 10 consecutive days; induction phase). The verum or placebo administration (1 capsule/day for 10 consecutive days) was repeated each month (maintenance phase) during the six months of follow-up starting the first day of menstrual cycle since the menstrual blood increases the vaginal pH and contributes to increase the risk of recurrences. The results showed that symptoms (vaginal discharge and itching), Nugent score and recurrence rate were significantly improved by probiotics mixture in association with lactoferrin. This alternative approach may represent a safe and effective remedy for the restoration of healthy vaginal microbiota in preventing recurrent BV.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30525953?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Santarelli, Lory</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gaetani, Simona</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monaco, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bracci, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valentino, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amati, Monica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rubini, Corrado</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sabbatini, Armando</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pasquini, Ernesto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanotta, Nunzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comar, Manola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neuzil, Jiri</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tomasetti, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bovenzi, Massimo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Four-miRNA Signature to Identify Asbestos-Related Lung Malignancies.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cancer Epidemiol.

We therefore performed a study to identify miRNAs associated with asbestos-induced malignancies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Four groups of patients were included in the study, including patients with asbestos-related (NSCLC) and asbestos-unrelated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), and disease-free subjects (CTRL). The selected miRNAs were evaluated in asbestos-exposed population.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Four serum miRNAs, that is miR-126, miR-205, miR-222, and miR-520g, were found to be implicated in asbestos-related malignant diseases. Notably, increased expression of miR-126 and miR-222 were found in asbestos-exposed subjects, and both miRNAs are involved in major pathways linked to cancer development. Epigenetic changes and cancer-stroma cross-talk could induce repression of miR-126 to facilitate tumor formation, angiogenesis, and invasion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;This study indicates that miRNAs are potentially involved in asbestos-related malignancies, and their expression outlines mechanism(s) whereby miRNAs may be involved in an asbestos-induced pathogenesis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;IMPACT: &lt;/b&gt;The discovery of a miRNA panel for asbestos-related malignancies would impact on occupational compensation and may be utilized for screening asbestos-exposed populations.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30257964?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Farruggia, Piero</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fioredda, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Puccio, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Onofrillo, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Russo, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barone, Angelica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bonanomi, Sonia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boscarol, Gianluca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Finocchi, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ghilardi, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giordano, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ladogana, Saverio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lassandro, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Luti, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lanza, Tiziana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mandaglio, Rosalba</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marra, Nicoletta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martire, Baldassare</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mastrodicasa, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Motta, Milena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Notarangelo, Lucia Dora</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pillon, Marta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Porretti, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Serafinelli, Jessica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trizzino, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tucci, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Veltroni, Marinella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Verzegnassi, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ramenghi, Ugo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dufour, Carlo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Idiopathic neutropenia of infancy: Data from the Italian Neutropenia Registry.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Hematol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am.

In case of negativity of 4 antineutrophils autoantibody tests, after having excluded ethnic, postinfection, drug induced, or congenital neutropenia, according to the Italian guidelines the patients will be defined as affected by &quot;idiopathic neutropenia&quot; (IN). We describe the characteristics of 85 IN patients enrolled in the Italian neutropenia registry: they were compared with 336 children affected by AIN. The 2 groups were clinically very similar and the main differences were detection age (later in IN), length of disease (longer in IN) and, among recovered patients, age of spontaneous recovery: the median age at resolution was 2.13 years in AINs and 3.03 years in INs (P = .00002). At bivariate analysis among AIN patients earlier detection age (P = .00013), male sex (P = .000748), absence of leucopenia (P = .0045), and absence of monocytosis (P = .0419) were significantly associated with earlier recovery; in the IN group only detection age (P = .013) and absence of monocytosis (P = .0333) were significant. At multivariate analysis detection age and absence of monocytosis were independently significant (P = 6.7e-05 and 4.4e-03, respectively) in the AIN group, whereas in the IN group only detection age stayed significant (P = .013).&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30456824?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vitale, Salvatore Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Capriglione, Stella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zito, Gabriella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lopez, Salvatore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gulino, Ferdinando Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Guardo, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vitagliano, Amerigo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Noventa, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">La Rosa, Valentina Lucia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sapia, Fabrizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valenti, Gaetano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rapisarda, Agnese Maria Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peterlunger, Isabel</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rossetti, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Laganà, Antonio Simone</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Management of endometrial, ovarian and cervical cancer in the elderly: current approach to a challenging condition.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch Gynecol Obstet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch.

Therefore, in the present paper, we aimed to gather all the evidence reported in the literature concerning gynecological cancers in the elderly, illustrating the state of art and the future perspectives.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We searched MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, IBECS, BIOSIS, Web of Science, SCOPUS and Grey literature (Google Scholar; British Library) from January 1952 to May 2017, using the terms &quot;ovarian cancer&quot;, &quot;endometrial cancer&quot;, &quot;cervical cancer&quot;, &quot;gynecological cancers&quot; combined with 'elderly', 'cancer', 'clinical trial' and 'geriatric assessment'.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The search identified 81 citations, of which 65 were potentially relevant after initial evaluation and met the criteria for inclusion and were analyzed. We divided all included studies into three different issue: &quot;Endometrial cancer&quot;, &quot;Ovarian cancer&quot; and &quot;Cervical cancer&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The present literature review shows that, in spite of the higher burden of comorbidities, elderly patients can also benefit from standard treatment to manage their gynecological cancers. It is important to overcome the common habit of undertreating the elderly patients because they are more fragile and with a lower life expectancy than their younger counterpart. Further trials with elderly women are warranted.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30542793?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cernogoraz, Alice</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schiraldi, Luigi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bonazza, Deborah</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Menstruation-related disseminated intravascular coagulation in an adenomyosis patient: case report and review of the literature.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gynecol Endocrinol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gynecol.

We report on an extremely rare case of acute DIC in a patient with misdiagnosed adenomyosis and massive methrorragia which led to acute kidney failure. The patient was successfully treated with hysterectomy and blood product transfusions; however, a slight reduction of renal function persisted. We were able to confirm the cause-consequence link between adenomyosis and consumptive DIC since we saw the thrombi in the adenomyotic uterus from early hysterectomy specimen. Moreover, this is the first case, for the best of our knowledge, in which systemic consequences persist in an adenomyosis patient who developed a DIC. Early diagnose and treatment of acute DIC is essential for patient's survival and to prevent severe complications: adenomyosis should be kept in mind as a possible cause of DIC when a patient shows up with massive bleeding.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30044152?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zaninetti, Carlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Rocco, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giangregorio, Tania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bozzi, Valeria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Demeter, Judit</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leoni, Pietro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Noris, Patrizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ryhänen, Samppa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barozzi, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecci, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savoia, Anna</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MYH9-Related Thrombocytopenia: Four Novel Variants Affecting the Tail Domain of the Non-Muscle Myosin Heavy Chain IIA Associated with a Mild Clinical Evolution of the Disorder.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hamostaseologie</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hamostaseologie</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019 Feb</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">39</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">87-94</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;-related disease (-RD) is an autosomal-dominant thrombocytopenia caused by mutations in the gene for non-muscle myosin heavy chain IIA (NMMHC-IIA). Patients present congenital macrothrombocytopenia and inclusions of NMMHC-IIA in leukocytes, and have a variable risk of developing kidney damage, sensorineural deafness, presenile cataracts and/or liver enzymes abnormalities. The spectrum of mutations found in -RD patients is limited and the incidence and severity of the non-congenital features are predicted by the causative  variant. In particular, different alterations of the C-terminal tail domain of NMMHC-IIA associate with remarkably different disease evolution. We report four novel  mutations affecting the tail domain of NMMHC-IIA and responsible for -RD in four families. Two variants cause amino acid substitutions in the coiled-coil region of NMMHC-IIA, while the other two are a splicing variant and a single nucleotide deletion both resulting in frameshift alterations of the short non-helical tailpiece. Characterization of phenotypes of affected individuals shows that all of these novel variants are associated with a mild clinical evolution of the disease.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29996171?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morgan, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vuckovic, Dragana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Krishnamoorthy, Navaneethakrishnan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rubinato, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ambrosetti, Umberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Castorina, Pierangela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Franzè, Annamaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vozzi, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">La Bianca, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cappellani, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Stazio, Mariateresa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girotto, Giorgia</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Next-generation sequencing identified SPATC1L as a possible candidate gene for both early-onset and age-related hearing loss.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur J Hum Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur.

Despite many efforts, additional HHL-genes and ARHL genetic risk factors still need to be identified. To fill this gap a large genomic screening based on next-generation sequencing technologies was performed. Whole exome sequencing in a 3-generation Italian HHL family and targeted re-sequencing in 464 ARHL patients were performed. We detected three variants in SPATC1L: a nonsense allele in an HHL family and a frameshift insertion and a missense variation in two unrelated ARHL patients. In silico molecular modelling of all variants suggested a significant impact on the structural stability of the protein itself, likely leading to deleterious effects and resulting in truncated isoforms. After demonstrating Spatc1l expression in mice inner ear, in vitro functional experiments were performed confirming the results of the molecular modelling studies. Finally, a candidate-gene population-based statistical study in cohorts from Caucasus and Central Asia revealed a statistically significant association of SPATC1L with normal hearing function at low and medium hearing frequencies. Overall, the amount of different genetic data presented here (variants with early-onset and late-onset hearing loss in addition to genetic association with normal hearing function), together with relevant functional evidence, likely suggest a role of SPATC1L in hearing function and loss.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30177775?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mancini, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giorgio, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rubegni, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pradotto, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bagnoli, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rubino, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prontera, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cavalieri, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Gregorio, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrero, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pozzi, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Riberi, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrero, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nigro, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mauro, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zibetti, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tessa, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barghigiani, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antenora, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sirchia, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piacentini, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Silvestri, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Michele, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Filla, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Orsi, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Santorelli, F M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brusco, A</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prevalence and phenotype of the c.1529C&gt;T SPG7 variant in adult-onset cerebellar ataxia in Italy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur J Neurol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur.

Recent reports have suggested mutations in the SPG7 gene, causing the most common form of autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia (MIM#607259), as a main cause of ataxias. The majority of described patients were homozygotes or compound heterozygotes for the c.1529C&gt;T (p.Ala510Val) change. We screened a cohort of 895 Italian patients with ataxia for p.Ala510Val in order to define the prevalence and genotype-phenotype correlation of this variant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We set up a rapid assay for c.1529C&gt;T using restriction enzyme analysis after polymerase chain reaction amplification. We confirmed the diagnosis with Sanger sequencing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;We identified eight homozygotes and 13 compound heterozygotes, including two novel variants affecting splicing. Mutated patients showed a pure cerebellar ataxia at onset, evolving in mild spastic ataxia (alternatively) associated with dysarthria (~80% of patients), urinary urgency (~30%) and pyramidal signs (~70%). Comparing homozygotes and compound heterozygotes, we noted a difference in age at onset and Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia score between the two groups, supporting an earlier and more severe phenotype in compound heterozygotes versus homozygotes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The SPG7 c.1529C&gt;T (p.Ala510Val) mutants accounted for 2.3% of cerebellar ataxia cases in Italy, suggesting that this variant should be considered as a priority test in the presence of late-onset pure ataxia.

This study aimed to understand the involvement of SC during hepatocarcinogenesis in HBsAg-related liver damage, from early injury until HCC. HBsAg-transgenic (TG) and wild type (WT) mouse were followed at several stages of the liver damage: inflammation, early hepatocytes damage, dysplasia, and HCC. Serum transaminases, liver histology, and diagnostic data were collected. The expressions of SC and cancer stem cells (CSC) markers was analyzed by RT-qPCR, immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Starting from 3 months, TG animals showed a progressive liver damage characterized by transaminases increase. The up-regulations of SCs markers Cd34 and Sca-1 started from the beginning of the inflammatory stage while progressive increase of Krt19 and Sox9 and CSCs markers Epcam and Cd133 from early hepatic injury. The expressions of Cd133, Cd34, and Afp were significantly higher in HCC compared to paired non-HCC tissue, in contrast to Epcam and Krt19. Western blot and IHC confirmed the positivity of Cd34 and Cd133 in small cells subpopulation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30177788?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faleschini, Michela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Melazzini, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marconi, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giangregorio, Tania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pippucci, Tommaso</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cigalini, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecci, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bottega, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ramenghi, Ugo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Siitonen, Timo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seri, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pastore, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savoia, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Noris, Patrizia</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ACTN1 mutations lead to a benign form of platelet macrocytosis not always associated with thrombocytopenia.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Br J Haematol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Br.

Among them, ACTN1-related thrombocytopenia (ACTN1-RT; Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man: 615193) is one of the most recently identified forms. It has been described as a mild autosomal dominant macrothrombocytopenia caused by mutations in ACTN1, a gene encoding for one of the two non-muscle isoforms of α-actinin. We recently identified seven new unrelated families with ACTN1-RT caused by different mutations. Two of them are novel missense variants (p.Trp128Cys and p.Pro233Leu), whose pathogenic role has been confirmed by in vitro studies. Together with the 10 families we have previously described, our cohort of ACTN1-RT now consists of 49 individuals carrying ACTN1 mutations. This is the largest case series ever collected and enabled a critical evaluation of the clinical aspects of the disease. We concluded that ACTN1-RT is the fourth most frequent form of IT worldwide and it is characterized by platelet macrocytosis in all affected subjects and mild thrombocytopenia in less than 80% of cases. The risk of bleeding, either spontaneous or upon haemostatic challenge, is negligible and there are no other associated defects, either congenital or acquired. Therefore, ACTN1-RT is a benign form of IT, whose diagnosis provides affected individuals and their families with a good prognosis.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30351444?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pillon, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pennesi, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rabach, Ingrid</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent with intermittent haematuria.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch Dis Child Educ Pract Ed</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch Dis Child Educ Pract Ed</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018 May 10</style></date></pub-dates></dates><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29748226?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faganello, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cioffi, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rossini, Maurizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ognibeni, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giollo, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fisicaro, Maurizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Russo, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Nora, Concetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Doimo, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tarantini, Luigi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mazzone, Carmine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cherubini, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Agata Mottolesi, Biancamaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pandullo, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Lenarda, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sinagra, Gianfranco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Viapiana, Ombretta</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Are aortic coarctation and rheumatoid arthritis different models of aortic stiffness?

Mechanical and structural abnormalities in the ascending aorta (Ao) might have a role in the prognosis of CoA patients. We analyzed the elastic properties of Ao measured as aortic stiffness index (AoSI) in CoA patients in the long-term period and we compared AoSI with a cohort of 38 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 38 non-RA matched controls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Data from 19 CoA patients were analyzed 28 ± 13 years after surgery. Abnormally high AoSI was diagnosed if AoSI &gt; 6.07% (95th percentile of the AoSI detected in our reference healthy population). AoSI was assessed at the level of the aortic root by two-dimensional guided M-mode evaluation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;CoA patients showed more than two-fold higher AoSI compared to RA and controls (9.8 ± 12.6 vs 4.8 ± 2.5% and 3.1 ± 2.0%, respectively; all p &lt; 0.05 and in 5 of 19 patients with CoA (26%) AoSI was exceptionally high. The 5 patients with abnormally high AoSI were older with higher BP, LV mass and prevalence of LV diastolic dysfunction. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that AoSI was independently related to the presence of LV hypertrophy and higher LV relative wall thickness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;CoA patients have higher AoSI levels than RA patients and non-RA matched controls. AoSI levels are abnormally high in a small sub-group of CoA patients who show a very high-risk clinical profile for adverse CV events.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29940971?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campisciano, Giuseppina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cason, Carolina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Palmisano, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giuricin, Michela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rizzardi, Alessia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Croce, Lory Saveria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Manzini, Nicolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comar, Manola</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bariatric surgery drives major rearrangements of the intestinal microbiota including the biofilm composition.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Front Biosci (Elite Ed)</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Front Biosci (Elite Ed)</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biofilms</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Case-Control Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gastric Bypass</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gastrointestinal Microbiome</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Intestinal Mucosa</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Obesity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prospective Studies</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018 06 01</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">495-505</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The intestinal microbiota disequilibrium has been associated with obesity, while the role of the gut mucosal biofilms in this pathology is still unknown. We analysed the changes in the intestinal microbiota of obese patients after bariatric surgery with the aim of disclosing the rearrangement of the biofilm configuration. Although the bariatric surgery drives major rearrangements of the gut microbiota, obese patients maintain the  enterotype before and after surgery, as shown by normal weight patients, with an increase of  and . The  enterotype guarantees the strong ability to form a biofilm which allows a more efficient digestion of polysaccharides than planktonic communities and leads to the production of acetate which is a key player to inhibit enteropathogens. Additionally, the laparoscopic gastric bypass induces an increase of , a facultative anaerobic bacterium involved in intestinal and inflammatory disorders. Bariatric surgery influences the microbial composition of gut biofilm.

Epigenetic and post-transcriptional inactivation of this protein is commonly observed in multiple human malignancies, and can potentially favor progression of tumors driven by a variety of genetic mutations. Performing a high-throughput screening of a large collection of human microRNA mimics, we identified miR-149-3p as a negative post-transcriptional modulator of DAB2IP. By efficiently downregulating DAB2IP, this miRNA enhances cancer cell motility and invasiveness, facilitating activation of NF-kB signaling and promoting expression of pro-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic factors. In addition, we found that miR-149-3p secreted by prostate cancer cells induces DAB2IP downregulation in recipient vascular endothelial cells, stimulating their proliferation and motility, thus potentially remodeling the tumor microenvironment. Finally, we found that inhibition of endogenous miR-149-3p restores DAB2IP activity and efficiently reduces tumor growth and dissemination of malignant cells. These observations suggest that miR-149-3p can promote cancer progression via coordinated inhibition of DAB2IP in tumor cells and in stromal cells.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29568059?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fichera, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pagani, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stagnati, V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cascella, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faiola, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gaini, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lanna, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pasquini, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Raffaelli, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stampalija, T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prefumo, F</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cervical-length measurement in mid-gestation to predict spontaneous preterm birth in asymptomatic triplet pregnancy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cervical Length Measurement</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gestational Age</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant, Newborn</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Logistic Models</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Predictive Value of Tests</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy, Triplet</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Premature Birth</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retrospective Studies</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018 May</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">51</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">614-620</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;To assess the predictive value of sonographic cervical-length (CL) measurement in mid-gestation for spontaneous preterm birth (PTB) in asymptomatic triplet pregnancy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;This was a retrospective study of asymptomatic triplet pregnancies followed at five Italian tertiary referral centers, between 2002 and 2015. CL was measured transvaginally between 18 and 24 weeks' gestation. Pregnancies with medically indicated PTB were excluded. Demographic and pregnancy characteristics of pregnancies complicated by PTB were analyzed and the distributions of CL measurements in these patients were calculated. Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the association between CL and PTB, adjusted for confounders. Performance of CL measurement in prediction of PTB &lt; 28, &lt; 30 and &lt; 32 weeks of gestation was assessed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;A total of 120 triplet pregnancies were included in the final analysis. Median CL was 35 (interquartile range (IQR), 29-40) mm measured at a median gestational age of 20 + 2 (IQR, 20 + 0 to 23 + 4) weeks. Overall, 23 (19.2%), 17 (14.2%) and eight (6.7%) patients had a CL &lt; 25, &lt; 20 and &lt; 15 mm, respectively. Spontaneous PTB &lt; 32 weeks occurred in 41 (34.2%) cases, &lt; 30 weeks in 23 (19.2%) and &lt; 28 weeks in 12 (10%) cases. CL &lt; 15 mm was significantly more frequent in the group of patients who delivered &lt; 28 (P = 0.03) and &lt; 30 (P = 0.01) weeks' gestation, compared with those who delivered after 28 and after 30 weeks, respectively, while CL &lt; 20 mm was more common in triplet pregnancies with delivery &lt; 32 weeks compared with those delivered ≥ 32 weeks (P = 0.03). Logistic regression analysis was possible only for PTB &lt; 32 weeks due to the small number of cases that delivered &lt; 30 and &lt; 28 weeks. After adjustment for confounders, CL was not significantly associated with PTB &lt; 32 weeks (adjusted odds ratio, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.94-1.01). CL measurement had an area under the receiver-operating characteristics curve of 0.41 (95% CI, 0.20-0.62), 0.41 (95% CI, 0.26-0.56) and 0.42 (95% CI, 0.31-0.54) for the prediction of spontaneous PTB &lt; 28, &lt; 30 and &lt; 32 weeks, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;CL assessed in mid-gestation is a poor predictor of PTB &lt; 28, &lt; 30 and &lt; 32 weeks' gestation in asymptomatic triplet pregnancy.

In particular, for FPIES induced by egg, the mean age of tolerance acquisition reported in the literature ranges from 42 to 63 months.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;We have assessed whether the age of tolerance acquisition in acute egg FPIES varies depending on whether the egg is cooked or raw.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We conducted a retrospective and multicentric study of children with diagnosis of acute egg FPIES seen in 10 Italian allergy units between July 2003 and October 2017. The collected data regarded sex, presence of other allergic diseases, age of onset of symptoms, kind and severity of symptoms, cooking technique of the ingested egg, outcome of the allergy test, age of tolerance acquisition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Sixty-one children with acute egg FPIES were enrolled, 34 (56%) males and 27 (44%) females. Tolerance to cooked egg has been demonstrated by 47/61 (77%) children at a mean age of 30.2 months. For 32 of them, tolerance to raw egg has been demonstrated at a mean age of 43.9 months. No episodes of severe adverse reaction after baked egg ingestion have been recorded.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;It is possible to perform an OFC with baked egg, to verify the possible acquisition of tolerance, at about 30 months of life in children with acute egg FPIES.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30316559?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fetoni, Anna Rita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zorzi, Veronica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paciello, Fabiola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ziraldo, Gaia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peres, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Raspa, Marcello</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scavizzi, Ferdinando</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salvatore, Anna Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crispino, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tognola, Gabriella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gentile, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spampinato, Antonio Gianmaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cuccaro, Denis</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guarnaccia, Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morello, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Van Camp, Guy</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fransen, Erik</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brumat, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girotto, Giorgia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paludetti, Gaetano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cavallaro, Sebastiano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mammano, Fabio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cx26 partial loss causes accelerated presbycusis by redox imbalance and dysregulation of Nfr2 pathway.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Redox Biol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Redox Biol</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Apoptosis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Connexin 26</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene Deletion</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mice</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mice, Inbred C57BL</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NF-E2-Related Factor 2</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oxidation-Reduction</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Presbycusis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Signal Transduction</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018 10</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">301-317</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Mutations in GJB2, the gene that encodes connexin 26 (Cx26), are the most common cause of sensorineural hearing impairment. The truncating variant 35delG, which determines a complete loss of Cx26 protein function, is the prevalent GJB2 mutation in several populations. Here, we generated and analyzed Gjb2 mice as a model of heterozygous human carriers of 35delG. Compared to control mice, auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) and distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) worsened over time more rapidly in Gjb2 mice, indicating they were affected by accelerated age-related hearing loss (ARHL), or presbycusis. We linked causally the auditory phenotype of Gjb2 mice to apoptosis and oxidative damage in the cochlear duct, reduced release of glutathione from connexin hemichannels, decreased nutrient delivery to the sensory epithelium via cochlear gap junctions and deregulated expression of genes that are under transcriptional control of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a pivotal regulator of tolerance to redox stress. Moreover, a statistically significant genome-wide association with two genes (PRKCE and TGFB1) related to the Nrf2 pathway (p-value &lt; 4 × 10) was detected in a very large cohort of 4091 individuals, originating from Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia, with hearing phenotype (including 1076 presbycusis patients and 1290 healthy matched controls). We conclude that (i) elements of the Nrf2 pathway are essential for hearing maintenance and (ii) their dysfunction may play an important role in the etiopathogenesis of human presbycusis.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30199819?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bonaglia, Maria Clara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kurtas, Nehir Edibe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Errichiello, Edoardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bertuzzo, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beri, Silvana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mehrjouy, Mana M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Provenzano, Aldesia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vergani, Debora</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecile, Vanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Novara, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reho, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Giacomo, Marilena Carmela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Discepoli, Giancarlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giorda, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aldred, Micheala A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Santos-Rebouças, Cíntia Barros</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goncalves, Andressa Pereira</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Abuelo, Diane N</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giglio, Sabrina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricca, Ivana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Franchi, Fabrizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patsalis, Philippos</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sismani, Carolina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morí, María Angeles</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nevado, Julián</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommerup, Niels</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zuffardi, Orsetta</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De novo unbalanced translocations have a complex history/aetiology.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum.

Array CGH, whole-genome sequencing, qPCR, FISH, and trio genotyping were applied. A biparental origin of the deletion and duplication was detected in 6 cases, whereas in 46, both imbalances have the same parental origin. Moreover, the duplicated region was of maternal origin in more than half of the cases, with 25% of them showing two maternal and one paternal haplotype. In all these cases, maternal age was increased. These findings indicate that the primary driver for the occurrence of the de novo unbalanced translocations is a maternal meiotic non-disjunction, followed by partial trisomy rescue of the supernumerary chromosome present in the trisomic zygote. In contrast, asymmetric breakage of a dicentric chromosome, originated either at the meiosis or postzygotically, in which the two resulting chromosomes, one being deleted and the other one inv-dup del, are repaired by telomere capture, appears at the basis of all inv-dup del translocations. Notably, this mechanism also fits with the origin of some simple translocations in which the duplicated region was of paternal origin. In all cases, the signature at the translocation junctions was that of non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) rather than non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR). Our data imply that there is no risk of recurrence in the following pregnancies for any of the de novo unbalanced translocations we discuss here.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30276538?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ura, Blendi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scrimin, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arrigoni, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aloisio, Michelangelo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dysregulated chaperones associated with cell proliferation and negative apoptosis regulation in the uterine leiomyoma.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oncol Lett</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oncol Lett</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018 May</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8005-8010</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Uterine leiomyomas are benign smooth muscle cell tumors that originate from the myometrium. In this study we focus on dysregulated chaperones associated with cell proliferation and apoptosis. Paired tissue samples of 15 leiomyomas and adjacent myometria were obtained and analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). Mass spectrometry was used for protein identification and western blotting for 2-DE data validation. The values of 6 chaperones were found to be significantly different in the leiomyoma when compared with the myometrium. A total of 4 proteins were upregulated in the leiomyoma and 2 proteins were downregulated. Calreticulin and 78 kDa glucose-regulated protein were further validated by western blotting because the first is considered a marker of cell proliferation, while the second protects against apoptotic cell death. In addition, we also validated the two downregulated proteins heat shock protein β-1 and heat shock 70 kDa protein 1A. Our study shows the existence of a dysregulation of chaperone proteins associated with leiomyoma development. Functional studies are needed to ascertain the role of these chaperones in the leiomyoma. This may be crucial for the further development of specific inhibitors against the activity of these proteins in order to block the growth of the leiomyoma.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29731911?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lazzerini, Marzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Richardson, Sonia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ciardelli, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Erenbourg, Anna</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Effectiveness of the facility-based maternal near-miss case reviews in improving maternal and newborn quality of care in low-income and middle-income countries: a systematic review.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMJ Open</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMJ Open</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Developing Countries</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant, Newborn</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maternal Mortality</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Near Miss, Healthcare</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parturition</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patient Satisfaction</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Perinatal Mortality</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Postpartum Hemorrhage</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poverty</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality of Health Care</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Uterine Rupture</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018 04 19</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e019787</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVES: &lt;/b&gt;The maternal near-miss case review (NMCR) has been promoted by WHO as an approach to improve quality of care (QoC) at facility level. This systematic review synthesises evidence on the effectiveness of the NMCR on QoC and maternal and perinatal health outcomes in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Studies were searched for in six electronic databases (MEDLINE, Index Medicus, Web of Science, the Cochrane library, Embase, LILACS), with no language restrictions. Two authors independently screened papers and selected them for inclusion and independently extracted data. Maternal mortality was the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes included any outcome informing on any of the six dimensions of QoC: efficacy, safety, efficiency, equity, accessibility and timely care, acceptability and patient-centred care.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Out of 24 822 papers retrieved, 17 studies from 11 countries were included. Maternal mortality measured before and after the implementation of the NMCR cycle significantly decreased (OR 0.77, 95% CI 0.61 to 0.98, eight studies, 55 573 043 women; I=39%). A statistically significant reduction in the incidence of uterine rupture, postpartum haemorrhage and maternal sepsis was observed in three out of six studies. Ten studies reporting on maternal care process all showed some significant improvement when measured against predefined standards. All studies reported that the NMCR resulted in some amelioration of the facility structure (physical structure, staffing, equipment, training, organisation of care). Newborn outcomes were overall poorly reported; four studies showed no significant difference in perinatal mortality. Patient satisfaction and equity were also poorly reported.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Policy makers may consider implementing the maternal NMCR cycle approach among strategies aiming at improving QoC and reducing maternal mortality and morbidity in LMIC. Future studies should better document the effectiveness of the NMCR cycle particularly on outcomes reflecting patient-centred care and cost-effectiveness.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29674368?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aloi, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bramuzzo, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arrigo, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Romano, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Arcangelo, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lacorte, Doriana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gatti, Simona</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Illiceto, Maria T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zucconi, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dilillo, Dario</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zuin, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Knafelz, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ravelli, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cucchiara, Salvatore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alvisi, Patrizia</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SIGENP IBD Working Group</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Efficacy and Safety of Adalimumab in Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis: A Real-life Experience from the SIGENP-IBD Registry.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Secondary outcomes were the rate of sustained clinical remission, primary nonresponse, and loss of response at weeks 12, 30, and 52 and rate of mucosal healing and side effects at week 52.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Thirty-two children received ADA (median age 10 ± 4 years). Median disease duration before ADA therapy was 27 months. All patients received previous IFX (43% intolerant, 50% nonresponders [37.5% primary, 42.5% secondary nonresponders], 6.7% positive anti-IFX antibodies). Fifty-two weeks after ADA initiation, 13 patients (41%) were in corticosteroid-free remission. Mucosal healing occurred in 9 patients (28%) at 52 weeks. The cumulative probability of a clinical relapse-free course was 69%, 59%, and 53% at 12, 30, and 52 weeks, respectively. Ten patients (31%) had a primary failure and 5 (15%) a loss of response to ADA. No significant differences in efficacy were reported between not-responders and intolerant to IFX (P = 1.0). Overall, 19 patient (59%) maintained ADA during 52-week follow-up. Seven patients (22%) experienced an adverse event, no serious side effects were observed and none resulted in ADA discontinuation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Based on our data, ADA seems to be effective in children with UC, allowing to recover a significant percentage of patients intolerant or not-responding to IFX. The safety profile was good.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29315163?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bucci, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Umari, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rizzo, Michele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pavan, Nicola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Liguori, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbone, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trombetta, Carlo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Emergency extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy as opposed to delayed shockwave lithotripsy for the treatment of acute renal colic due to obstructive ureteral stone: a prospective randomized trial.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minerva Urol Nefrol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minerva Urol Nefrol</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calculi</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Emergency Medical Services</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Length of Stay</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lithotripsy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prospective Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Renal Colic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Time-to-Treatment</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tomography, X-Ray Computed</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ureteral Obstruction</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018 Oct</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">70</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">526-533</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of emergency extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (eSWL) as first-line treatment in patients with acute colic due to obstructive ureteral stone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Seventy-four patients were randomized to emergency SWL within 12 hours (eSWL group) and deferred SWL later than 3 days (dSWL group). Follow-up included ultrasound, KUB (kidney-ureter-bladder) radiography and CT (computed tomography) scan at 24 hours, 7 days, 1 and 3 months from the treatment. When necessary, repeated SWL (re-SWL) or ureteroscopy (auxiliary-URS) was performed. Preoperative and postoperative data were compared and stone free rates (SFR) and efficiency quotients (EQ) were evaluated. Analyses were performed using SAS software.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Complete data of 70 patients were collected. 36 underwent eSWL and 34 dSWL. The mean patient age was 48.7. Mean stone size was 9.8 mm (CI 95%: 8.9-10.8). 25 (35.7%) were proximal and 45 (64.3%) distal. Mean SWL energy was 19.2 kV (CI 95%: 18.5-19.9) and mean number of shocks was 2657 (CI 95%: 2513-2802). eSWL patients needs less auxiliary-URS than dSWL patients (13.9% vs. 44.1%, P=0.039) and less re-SWL sessions (8.3% vs. 32.4%, P=0.093). SFR at 24 hours was 52.8% and 11.8% (P&lt;0.001) and the EQ at 3 months was 79.1% and 57.5% in the eSWL and dSWL group respectively. Patients from the dSWL group spent more time in the hospital (2.21 vs. 1.36 days, P=0.046) and complication rates between the two groups were similar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;eSWL is a safe procedure and delivers high SFR even within 24 hours especially for &lt;10 mm stones. It is able to reduce the number of auxiliary procedures and hospitalization.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style

&lt;/b&gt;Genome-wide association studies conducted on QRS duration, an electrocardiographic measurement associated with heart failure and sudden cardiac death, have led to novel biological insights into cardiac function. However, the variants identified fall predominantly in non-coding regions and their underlying mechanisms remain unclear.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Here, we identify putative functional coding variation associated with changes in the QRS interval duration by combining Illumina HumanExome BeadChip genotype data from 77,898 participants of European ancestry and 7695 of African descent in our discovery cohort, followed by replication in 111,874 individuals of European ancestry from the UK Biobank and deCODE cohorts. We identify ten novel loci, seven within coding regions, including ADAMTS6, significantly associated with QRS duration in gene-based analyses. ADAMTS6 encodes a secreted metalloprotease of currently unknown function. In vitro validation analysis shows that the QRS-associated variants lead to impaired ADAMTS6 secretion and loss-of function analysis in mice demonstrates a previously unappreciated role for ADAMTS6 in connexin 43 gap junction expression, which is essential for myocardial conduction.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our approach identifies novel coding and non-coding variants underlying ventricular depolarization and provides a possible mechanism for the ADAMTS6-associated conduction changes.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30012220?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lazzerini, Marzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ciuch, Margherita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rusconi, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Covi, Benedetta</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Facilitators and barriers to the effective implementation of the individual maternal near-miss case reviews in low/middle-income countries: a systematic review of qualitative studies.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMJ Open</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMJ Open</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018 Jun 30</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e021281</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;The maternal near-miss cases review (NMCR), a type of clinical audit, proved to be effective in improving quality of care and decreasing maternal mortality in low/middle-income countries (LMICs). However, challenges in its implementation have been described.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVES: &lt;/b&gt;Synthesising the evidence on facilitators and barriers to the effective implementation of NMCR in LMICs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;Systematic review of qualitative studies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DATA SOURCES: &lt;/b&gt;MEDLINE, LILACS, Global Health Library, SCI-EXPANDED, SSCI, Cochrane library and Embase were searched in December 2017.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR SELECTING STUDIES: &lt;/b&gt;Qualitative studies exploring facilitators and/or barriers of implementing NMCR in LMIC were included.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS: &lt;/b&gt;Two independent reviewers extracted data, performed thematic analysis and assessed risk of bias.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Out of 25 361 papers retrieved, 9 studies from Benin, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Cote D'Ivoire, Ghana, Malawi, Morocco, Tanzania, Uganda could be included in the review. The most frequently reported barriers to NMCR implementation were the following: absence of national guidelines and local protocols; insufficient training on how to perform the audit; lack of leadership, coordination, monitoring and supervision; lack of resources and work overload; fear of blame and punishment; poor knowledge of evidenced-based medicine; hierarchical differences among staff and poor understating of the benefits of the NMCR. Major facilitators to NMCR implementation included: good leadership and coordination; training of all key staff; a good cultural environment; clear staff's perception on the benefits of conducting audit; patient empowerment and the availability of external support.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;In planning the NMCR implementation in LMICs, policy-makers should consider actions to prevent and mitigate common challenges to successful NMCR implementation. Future studies should aim at documenting facilitators and barriers to NMCR outside the African Region.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29961025?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrara, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pastore, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sancin, Lara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Torelli, Lucio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radillo, Oriano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bramuzzo, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bibalo, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taddio, Andrea</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fecal Calprotectin to Detect Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Rheumatol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Patients with 2 consecutive FC dosage ≥ 100 g/kg underwent endoscopic evaluation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;There were 113 patients with JIA enrolled. FC was raised in 7 patients out of 113. All patients had IBD. In 3/7 patients, high FC levels were the only sign consistent with IBD.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;FC is a useful, economical, and noninvasive diagnostic tool to identify JIA patients with underlying IBD.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29907671?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pascotto, Ernesto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gianoncelli, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calligaro, Carla</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcuzzo, Thomas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Melato, Mauro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rizzardi, Clara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pascolo, Lorella</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferruginous bodies resolved by synchrotron XRF in a dog with peritoneal malignant mesothelioma.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Environ Sci Pollut Res Int</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Environ Sci Pollut Res Int</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Asbestos</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dogs</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Environmental Exposure</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Immunohistochemistry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iron</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lung</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lung Neoplasms</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mesothelioma</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peritoneal Neoplasms</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Silicon</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spectrometry, X-Ray Emission</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Synchrotrons</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018 Dec</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">25</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">35707-35714</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Mesothelioma is a malignant tumor mainly correlated to occupational asbestos exposure. Rare reports describe its occurrence also in animals, mainly linked to asbestos in the environment. Asbestos exposure is demonstrated by the appearance of characteristic histological hallmarks: asbestos containing ferruginous bodies that are iron-based structures forming around fibers and also other dust particles. Here we present a clinical case of a suspect of mesothelioma in the peritoneum of a dog with parallel histological observation of ferruginous bodies. To possibly correlate the dog tumor to environmental exposure, we performed X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyses at two different synchrotrons to resolve the ferruginous bodies' composition. While the histological examination diagnoses a tubulo-papillary mesothelioma, the XRF analyses show that ferruginous bodies contain Si particles, resembling formations of exogenous origin; however, the morphology is unlikely that of asbestos fibers. We speculate that the peritoneal mesothelioma of this dog could be related to environmental exposure to non-asbestos material.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default"

For the SNPs taken together, we found evidence of heterogeneous effects across environments. The SNPs implicate genes involved in brain-development processes and neuron-to-neuron communication. In a separate analysis of the X chromosome, we identify 10 independent genome-wide-significant SNPs and estimate a SNP heritability of around 0.3% in both men and women, consistent with partial dosage compensation. A joint (multi-phenotype) analysis of educational attainment and three related cognitive phenotypes generates polygenic scores that explain 11-13% of the variance in educational attainment and 7-10% of the variance in cognitive performance. This prediction accuracy substantially increases the utility of polygenic scores as tools in research.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default"

We report the largest genetic association study of blood pressure traits (systolic, diastolic and pulse pressure) to date in over 1 million people of European ancestry. We identify 535 novel blood pressure loci that not only offer new biological insights into blood pressure regulation but also highlight shared genetic architecture between blood pressure and lifestyle exposures. Our findings identify new biological pathways for blood pressure regulation with potential for improved cardiovascular disease prevention in the future.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style

The genetic determinants of chronic inflammation remain largely unknown, and the causal role of CRP in several clinical outcomes is debated. We performed two genome-wide association studies (GWASs), on HapMap and 1000 Genomes imputed data, of circulating amounts of CRP by using data from 88 studies comprising 204,402 European individuals. Additionally, we performed in silico functional analyses and Mendelian randomization analyses with several clinical outcomes. The GWAS meta-analyses of CRP revealed 58 distinct genetic loci (p &lt; 5 × 10). After adjustment for body mass index in the regression analysis, the associations at all except three loci remained. The lead variants at the distinct loci explained up to 7.0% of the variance in circulating amounts of CRP. We identified 66 gene sets that were organized in two substantially correlated clusters, one mainly composed of immune pathways and the other characterized by metabolic pathways in the liver. Mendelian randomization analyses revealed a causal protective effect of CRP on schizophrenia and a risk-increasing effect on bipolar disorder. Our findings provide further insights into the biology of inflammation and could lead to interventions for treating inflammation and its clinical consequences.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

This genome-wide association meta-analysis in 160,420 participants and replication in 95,505 participants increased the number of established independent signals from 37 to 161 and showed high genetic correlation between Europeans and Asians (&gt;0.78). Expression experiments and comprehensive in silico analyses identified retinal cell physiology and light processing as prominent mechanisms, and also identified functional contributions to refractive-error development in all cell types of the neurosensory retina, retinal pigment epithelium, vascular endothelium and extracellular matrix. Newly identified genes implicate novel mechanisms such as rod-and-cone bipolar synaptic neurotransmission, anterior-segment morphology and angiogenesis. Thirty-one loci resided in or near regions transcribing small RNAs, thus suggesting a role for post-transcriptional regulation. Our results support the notion that refractive errors are caused by a light-dependent retina-to-sclera signaling cascade and delineate potential pathobiological molecular drivers.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

We identified 123 autosomal and one X-chromosome loci significantly associated with hair color; all but 13 are novel. Collectively, single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with hair color within these loci explain 34.6% of red hair, 24.8% of blond hair, and 26.1% of black hair heritability in the study populations.

Despite numerous studies have investigated its aetiopathogenetic factors, few works have focused on its genetic predisposition and most of them took into account only candidate genes. Therefore, we conducted a Genome Wide Association Study in an Italian isolated population aimed at uncovering genetic variants that predispose to this disorder.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Diagnosis of chronic periodontitis was made following the criteria of the American Academy of Periodontology. Patients with chronic periodontitis were grouped into different categories: slight, severe, localized and generalized. A control group composed by people without signs of periodontitis or gingivitis was defined. DNA was genotyped using 370k Illumina chips. Linear mixed model regression was used to test the association between each single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (independent variable) and the periodontitis status (dependent variable), controlling for confounders sex, age and smoking. The genomic kinship matrix was also used as random effect.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Four SNPs on the gene EFCAB4B resulted significantly associated to localized periodontitis (P &lt; 5 × 10 ), with the best hit on the rs242016 SNP (P = 1.5 × 10 ).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;We have identified a novel significant association between the EFCAB4B gene and localized periodontitis. These results open a new perspective in the understanding of genetic factors contributing to this common disorder.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30284742?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shah, Rupal L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Li, Qing</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zhao, Wanting</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tedja, Milly S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tideman, J Willem L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Khawaja, Anthony P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fan, Qiao</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yazar, Seyhan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Williams, Katie M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Verhoeven, Virginie J M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Xie, Jing</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wang, Ya Xing</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hess, Moritz</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nickels, Stefan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lackner, Karl J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pärssinen, Olavi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wedenoja, Juho</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biino, Ginevra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Concas, Maria Pina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Uitterlinden, André</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rivadeneira, Fernando</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jaddoe, Vincent W V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hysi, Pirro G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sim, Xueling</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tan, Nicholas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tham, Yih-Chung</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sensaki, Sonoko</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hofman, Albert</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vingerling, Johannes R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jonas, Jost B</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mitchell, Paul</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hammond, Christopher J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Höhn, René</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baird, Paul N</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wong, Tien-Yin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cheng, Chinfsg-Yu</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Teo, Yik Ying</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mackey, David A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Williams, Cathy</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Saw, Seang-Mei</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Klaver, Caroline C W</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guggenheim, Jeremy A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bailey-Wilson, Joan E</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CREAM Consortium</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A genome-wide association study of corneal astigmatism: The CREAM Consortium.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Vis</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol.

Cases were defined as having &gt;0.75 diopters of corneal astigmatism. Subsequent gene-based and gene-set analyses of the meta-analyzed results of European ancestry cohorts were performed using VEGAS2 and MAGMA software. Additionally, estimates of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based heritability for corneal and refractive astigmatism and the spherical equivalent were calculated for Europeans using LD score regression.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Results: &lt;/b&gt;The meta-analysis of all cohorts identified a genome-wide significant locus near the platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha () gene: top SNP: rs7673984, odds ratio=1.12 (95% CI:1.08-1.16), p=5.55×10. No other genome-wide significant loci were identified in the combined analysis or European/Asian ancestry-specific analyses. Gene-based analysis identified three novel candidate genes for corneal astigmatism in Europeans-claudin-7 (), acid phosphatase 2, lysosomal (), and TNF alpha-induced protein 8 like 3 ().&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/b&gt;In addition to replicating a previously identified genome-wide significant locus for corneal astigmatism near the  gene, gene-based analysis identified three novel candidate genes, , , and , that warrant further investigation to understand their role in the pathogenesis of corneal astigmatism. The much lower number of genetic variants and genes demonstrating an association with corneal astigmatism compared to published spherical equivalent GWAS analyses suggest a greater influence of rare genetic variants, non-additive genetic effects, or environmental factors in the development of astigmatism.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29422769?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scarpa, Maria-Grazia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rabach, Ingrid</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Canuto, Arianna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sanabor, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schleef, Jurgen</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girl With Chest Pain.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann Emerg Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann Emerg Med</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018 Aug</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">72</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e17-e18</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30031519?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bottega, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nicchia, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cappelli, Enrico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ravera, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Rocco, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faleschini, Michela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corsolini, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pierri, Filomena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calvillo, Michaela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Russo, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Casazza, Gabriella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ramenghi, Ugo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Farruggia, Piero</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dufour, Carlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savoia, Anna</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hypomorphic FANCA mutations correlate with mild mitochondrial and clinical phenotype in Fanconi anemia.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Haematologica</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Haematologica</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018 Mar</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">103</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">417-426</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Fanconi anemia is a rare disease characterized by congenital malformations, aplastic anemia, and predisposition to cancer. Despite the consolidated role of the Fanconi anemia proteins in DNA repair, their involvement in mitochondrial function is emerging. The purpose of this work was to assess whether the mitochondrial phenotype, independent of genomic integrity, could correlate with patient phenotype. We evaluated mitochondrial and clinical features of 11 affected individuals homozygous or compound heterozygous for p.His913Pro and p.Arg951Gln/Trp, the two residues of FANCA that are more frequently affected in our cohort of patients. Although p.His913Pro and p.Arg951Gln proteins are stably expressed in cytoplasm, they are unable to migrate in the nucleus, preventing cells from repairing DNA. In these cells, the electron transfer between respiring complex I-III is reduced and the ATP/AMP ratio is impaired with defective ATP production and AMP accumulation. These activities are intermediate between those observed in wild-type and FANCA-/- cells, suggesting that the variants at residues His913 and Arg951 are hypomorphic mutations. Consistent with these findings, the clinical phenotype of most of the patients carrying these mutations is mild. These data further support the recent finding that the Fanconi anemia proteins play a role in mitochondria, and open up possibilities for genotype/phenotype studies based on novel mitochondrial criteria.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29269525?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Lorenzo, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Severini, Giovanni Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Romano, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biffi, Stefania</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Imaging and therapy of ovarian cancer: clinical application of nanoparticles and future perspectives.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Theranostics</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Theranostics</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4279-4294</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Despite significant advances in cancer diagnostics and treatment, ovarian cancers (OC) continue to kill more than 150,000 women every year worldwide. Due to the relatively asymptomatic nature and the advanced stage of the disease at the time of diagnosis, OC is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy. The current treatment for advanced OC relies on the synergistic effect of combining surgical cytoreduction and chemotherapy; however, beside the fact that chemotherapy resistance is a major challenge in OC management, new imaging strategies are needed to target microscopic lesions and improve both cytoreductive surgery and patient outcomes. In this context, nanostructured probes are emerging as a new class of medical tool that can simultaneously provide imaging contrast, target tumor cells, and carry a wide range of medicines resulting in better diagnosis and therapeutic precision. Herein we summarize several exemplary efforts in nanomedicine for addressing unmet clinical needs.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30214620?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Conversano, Ester</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cozzi, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pavan, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minute, Marta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gortan, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montico, Marcella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vecchi Brumatti, Liza</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Impact of near infrared light in pediatric blood drawing Centre on rate of first attempt success and time of procedure.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ital J Pediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ital J Pediatr</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Age Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant, Newborn</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infrared Rays</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lighting</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phlebotomy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Time Factors</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018 May 25</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">44</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">60</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Peripheral blood access and venipuncture are a stressful and painful experience in pediatric patients; moreover, it is estimated that more than one attempt is required to achieve the procedure in about one third of children. For this reason, we investigated if Near-infrared light technology routinely used, could give an advantage to venipuncture in a pediatric blood center setting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We conducted an open, pseudo-randomized controlled trial with two parallel arms, in the blood-drawing center, with enrolment of 115 patients between 0 and 18 years, in 14 consecutive working days. Fifty-three subjects were enrolled in group 1 (VeinViewer®) and 62 in group 2 (control group). We divided patients into three subgroups considering their age (&lt; 5 years, 6-10 years, &gt; 10 years). The primary study outcome was to assess if the use of VeinViewer® was associated with a reduction of time to perform blood sampling. The secondary outcome was to analyze VienViewer®'s impact on first attempt success rate in blood sampling.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;No difference was found regarding the duration of blood sampling between the two groups, even after stratifying the patients into the three age subgroups. There was no difference between the two groups in the success at the first attempt in blood sampling.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Routine use of VeinViewer® is not useful to reduce time of the procedure during venipuncture.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;TRIAL REGISTRATION: &lt;/b&gt;The study was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, with number NCT03277092 , on September 8, 2017.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29801519?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ura, Blendi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Lorenzo, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Romano, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mirenda, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scrimin, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Interstitial Fluid in Gynecologic Tumors and Its Possible Application in the Clinical Practice.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Mol Sci</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Mol Sci</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biomarkers, Tumor</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biophysical Phenomena</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Extracellular Fluid</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genital Neoplasms, Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Practice Patterns, Physicians'</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tumor Microenvironment</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018 Dec 12</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Gynecologic cancers are an important cause of worldwide mortality. The interstitium consists of solid and fluid phases, situated between the blood vessels and cells. The interstitial fluid (IF), or fluid phase, is an extracellular fluid bathing and surrounding the tissue cells. The TIF (tumor interstitial fluid) is a dynamic fluid rich in lipids, proteins and enzyme-derived substances. The molecules found in the IF may be associated with pathological changes in tissues leading to cancer growth and metastatization. Proteomic techniques have allowed an extensive study of the composition of the TIF as a source of biomarkers for gynecologic cancers. In our review, we analyze the composition of the TIF, its formation process, the sampling methods, the consequences of its accumulation and the proteomic analyses performed, that make TIF valuable for monitoring different types of cancers.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30545144?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mezzavilla, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Notarangelo, Michela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Concas, Maria Pina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Catamo, Eulalia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grillotti, Maria Gemma</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robino, Antonietta</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Investigation of the link between PROP taste perception and vegetables consumption using FAOSTAT data.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Food Sci Nutr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Food Sci Nutr</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018 Oct 10</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-7</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;In this work we investigated, in populations located in Central Asia, the relationship between PROP taste perception and vegetables liking and consumption using FAOSTAT dataset.

The presence of transition metals, mainly iron, in the fibres seems also implicated in the pathogenetic mechanisms. To unravel the role of iron at mesothelial level, we compared the chemical changes induced in MeT-5A cells by the exposure to asbestos (crocidolite) or CNTs at different content of iron impurities (raw-SWCNTs, purified- and highly purified-SWCNTs). We applied synchrotron-based X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) microscopy and soft X-ray imaging (absorption and phase contrast images) to monitor chemical and morphological changes of the exposed cells. In parallel, we performed a ferritin assay. X-ray microscopy imaging and XRF well localize the crocidolite fibres interacting with cells, as well as the damage-related morphological changes. Differently, CNTs presence could be only partially evinced by low energy XRF through carbon distribution and sometimes iron co-localisation. Compared to controls, the cells treated with raw-SWCNTs and crocidolite fibres showed a severe alteration of iron distribution and content, with concomitant stimulation of ferritin production. Interestingly, highly purified nanotubes did not altered iron metabolism. The data provide new insights for possible CNTs effects at mesothelial/pleural level in humans.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29335462?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pinart, Mariona</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nimptsch, Katharina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bouwman, Jildau</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dragsted, Lars O</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yang, Chen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Cock, Nathalie</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lachat, Carl</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Perozzi, Giuditta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Canali, Raffaella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lombardo, Rosario</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Archivio, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guillaume, Michèle</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Donneau, Anne-Françoise</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jeran, Stephanie</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Linseisen, Jakob</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kleiser, Christina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nöthlings, Ute</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbaresko, Janett</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boeing, Heiner</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stelmach-Mardas, Marta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heuer, Thorsten</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Laird, Eamon</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Walton, Janette</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robino, Antonietta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Castaño, Luis</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rojo-Martínez, Gemma</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Merino, Jordi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Masana, Luis</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Standl, Marie</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schulz, Holger</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biagi, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nurk, Eha</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Matthys, Christophe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gobbetti, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Angelis, Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Windler, Eberhard</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zyriax, Birgit-Christiane</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tafforeau, Jean</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pischon, Tobias</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Joint Data Analysis in Nutritional Epidemiology: Identification of Observational Studies and Minimal Requirements.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Nutr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

A set of minimal requirements was abstracted from the gathered information.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Results: &lt;/b&gt;Studies (12 cohort, 12 cross-sectional, and 2 case-control) were identified. Two studies recruited children only and the rest recruited adults. All studies included dietary intake data. Twenty studies collected blood samples. Data on traditional biomarkers were available for 20 studies, of which 17 measured lipoproteins, glucose, and insulin and 13 measured inflammatory biomarkers. Metabolomics, proteomics, and genomics or transcriptomics data were available in 5, 3, and 12 studies, respectively. Although the study authors were willing to share metadata, most refused, were hesitant, or had legal or ethical issues related to sharing raw data. Forty-one descriptors of minimal requirements for the study data were identified to facilitate data integration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/b&gt;Combining study data sets will enable sufficiently powered, refined investigations to increase the knowledge and understanding of the relation between food, nutrition, and human health. Furthermore, the minimal requirements for study data may encourage more efficient secondary usage of existing data and provide sufficient information for researchers to draft future multicenter research proposals in nutrition.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

Accounting for smoking behavior may help identify BP loci and extend our knowledge of its genetic architecture. We performed genome-wide association meta-analyses of systolic and diastolic BP incorporating gene-smoking interactions in 610,091 individuals. Stage 1 analysis examined ∼18.8 million SNPs and small insertion/deletion variants in 129,913 individuals from four ancestries (European, African, Asian, and Hispanic) with follow-up analysis of promising variants in 480,178 additional individuals from five ancestries. We identified 15 loci that were genome-wide significant (p &lt; 5 × 10) in stage 1 and formally replicated in stage 2. A combined stage 1 and 2 meta-analysis identified 66 additional genome-wide significant loci (13, 35, and 18 loci in European, African, and trans-ancestry, respectively). A total of 56 known BP loci were also identified by our results (p &lt; 5 × 10). Of the newly identified loci, ten showed significant interaction with smoking status, but none of them were replicated in stage 2. Several loci were identified in African ancestry, highlighting the importance of genetic studies in diverse populations. The identified loci show strong evidence for regulatory features and support shared pathophysiology with cardiometabolic and addiction traits. They also highlight a role in BP regulation for biological candidates such as modulators of vascular structure and function (CDKN1B, BCAR1-CFDP1, PXDN, EEA1), ciliopathies (SDCCAG8, RPGRIP1L), telomere maintenance (TNKS, PINX1, AKTIP), and central dopaminergic signaling (MSRA, EBF2).&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29455858?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guerriero, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pascual, M Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ajossa, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rodriguez, Ignacio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zajicek, Michal</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rolla, Martino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rams, Noelia Llop</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yulzari, Vered</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bardin, Ron</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Buonomo, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comparetto, Ornella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Perniciano, Maura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Saba, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mais, Valerio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alcazar, Juan Luis</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Learning curve for the ultrasonographic diagnosis of deep endometriosis using a structured off-line training program.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018 Nov 13</style></date></pub-dates></dates><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;The aim of the present study was to assess the learning curves of trainees during a structured off-line/hands-on training program on the diagnosis of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A two-week training program was conducted. One day was devoted to theoretical issues and guided off-line analysis of 10 volumes of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound. During the following days, five sessions of real-time sonographic examinations were performed in a DIE referral center Ultrasound unit. In between sessions, the trainees analyzed four off-line sets, containing twenty-five 3D volumes each. At the end of each set, misinterpreted volumes were assessed with the trainer. One trainer and 4 trainees (all post-graduated Ob/Gyn with at least 5 years of experience in ultrasonography in Obstetrics and Gynecology but with no experience in DIE sonographic examinations) participated in the study. Presence or absence of DIE at surgery was considered as gold standard for the trainees. Trainee's results were evaluated by learning curve cumulative summation (LC-CUSUM) and the deviations of the level of trainees' performance at the control stage by CUSUM (standard CUSUM) for different locations of DIE.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The trainees reached competence on average after 17 evaluations (range 21-14) for bladder locations, after 39 evaluations (range 60-30) for rectosigmoid locations, after 25 evaluations (range 34-14) for forniceal locations, after 44 evaluations (range 66-25) for utero-sacral locations (USL), after 21 evaluations (range 43-14) for rectovaginal septum (RVS) locations respectively, and kept the process under control with error levels of less than 4.5% until the end of the test. The overall accuracy for each trainee at the different locations ranged from 0.91 to 0.96 for bladder DIE, from 0.80 to 0.94 for recto-sigmoid DIE, from 0.90 to 0.94% for forniceal DIE, from 0.79 to 0.82 for utero-sacral ligaments DIE and from 0.89 to 0.97 for recto-vaginal septum DIE.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The suggested two-weeks learning program based on a mix of off-line and live sessions is feasible and suggests a good performance in training for the diagnosis of DIE.

After fixation, fresh and slowly frozen samples were selected by light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, and subsequently analysed with synchrotron XRF microscopy at different incident energies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The distributions of elements detected at 7.3 keV (S, P, K, Cl, Fe, and Os) and 1.5 keV (Na and Mg) were related to the changes revealed by light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy analyses. The light elements showed highly informative findings. The S distribution was found to be an indicator of extracellular component changes in the stromal tissues of the freeze-stored samples, further revealed by the transmission electron microscopy analyses. Low-quality follicles, frequent in the freeze-thawed tissues, showed a high Na level in the ooplasm. On the contrary, good-quality follicles were detected by a homogeneous Cl distribution. The occurrence of vacuolated follicles increased after cryopreservation, and the XRF analyses showed that the vacuolar structures contained mainly Cl and Na.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The study demonstrates that elemental imaging techniques, particularly revealing the distribution of light elements, could be useful in establishing new cryopreservation protocols.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29802069?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bouchè, Carlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wiesenfeld, Uri</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Simeone, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bogatti, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Skerk, Kristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meconium-stained amniotic fluid: a risk factor for postpartum hemorrhage.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ther Clin Risk Manag</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ther Clin Risk Manag</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1671-1675</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Background/aim: &lt;/b&gt;Clinical data with respect to the impact of meconium on the risk of maternal hemorrhage are scarce. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to determine whether meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) represents a risk factor for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) after vaginal delivery in a large unselected population.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Patients and methods: &lt;/b&gt;A retrospective cohort study evaluated 78,542 consecutive women who had a vaginal delivery between 24th and 44th weeks of gestation. The women who had undergone cesarean section were excluded to avoid possible bias. Postpartum blood loss was measured with graduated blood sack. Postpartum blood loss between 1,000 and 2,000 mL and &gt;2,000 mL were classified as moderate and severe PPH, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Results: &lt;/b&gt;A total of 74,144 patients were available for analysis. According to the color of amniotic fluid (AF), two groups of patients were identified: MSAF (n=10,997) and clear AF (n=63,147). The rates of severe and massive PPH were found to be significantly higher in the MSAF group than that of clear AF group (OR=1.3, 95% CI: 1.2-1.5, &lt;0.001 and OR=2.5, 95% CI: 1.5-4.2, &lt;0.001). Operative vaginal delivery rate was found to be higher in the MSAF group than that of clear AF group, but the difference was only borderline significant (OR=1.5, 95% CI: 1.0-2.2, =0.05). There were no significant differences between the MSAF and the clear AF groups with respect to episiotomies, second- or third-degree perineal tears, vaginal-perineal thrombus, cervical lacerations, vaginal births after cesarean section, twin deliveries, and placental retention rates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/b&gt;To the best of our knowledge, this is the first clinical study that has investigated the role of MSAF as a risk factor for PPH after vaginal delivery in an unselected population. Our results suggest that MSAF is significantly associated with higher risk of moderate and severe PPH than clear AF.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30254448?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gobbo, Margherita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Verzegnassi, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanon, Davide</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Melchionda, Fraia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bagattoni, Simone</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Majorana, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bardellini, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mura, Rosamaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piras, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Petris, Maria Grazia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mariuzzi, Maria Livia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barone, Angelica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Merigo, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decembrino, Nunzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vitale, Marina Consuelo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berger, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Defabianis, Patrizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biasotto, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ottaviani, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanazzo, Giulio Andrea</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Multicenter randomized, double-blind controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of laser therapy for the treatment of severe oral mucositis induced by chemotherapy in children: laMPO RCT.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Blood Cancer</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Blood Cancer</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018 Aug</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">65</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e27098</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVES: &lt;/b&gt;To demonstrate the efficacy of laser photobiomodulation (PBM) compared to that of placebo on severe oral mucositis (OM) in pediatric oncology patients. The primary objective was the reduction of OM grade (World Health Organization [WHO] scale) 7 days after starting PBM. Secondary objectives were reduction of pain, analgesic consumption, and incidence of side effects.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;One hundred and one children with WHO grade &gt; 2 chemotherapy-induced OM were enrolled in eight Italian hospitals. Patients were randomized to either PBM or sham treatment for four consecutive days (days +1 to +4). On days +4, +7, and +11, OM grade, pain (following a 0-10 numeric pain rating scale, NRS) and need for analgesics were evaluated by an operator blinded to treatment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Fifty-one patients were allocated to the PBM group, and 50 were allocated to the sham group. In total, 93.7% of PBM patients and 72% of sham patients had OM grade &lt; 3 WHO on day +7 (P = 0.01). A significant reduction of pain was registered on day +7 in the PBM versus sham group (NRS 1 [0-3] vs. 2.5 [1-5], P &lt; 0.006). Reduced use of analgesics was reported in the PBM group, although it was not statistically significant. No significant adverse events attributable to treatment were recorded.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;PBM is a safe, feasible, and effective treatment for children affected by chemotherapy-induced OM, as it accelerates mucosal recovery and reduces pain.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29727048?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pascolo, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peri, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montico, Marcella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Funaro, Mishelle</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parrino, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vanadia, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rusalen, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vecchiato, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benini, Franca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Congedi, Sabrina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cozzi, Giorgio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Needle-related pain and distress management during needle-related procedures in children with and without intellectual disability.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur J Pediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur.

Nevertheless, only a few studies deal with pain and distress management during the procedure in this population of children. This study aimed to investigate the number of anxiety and pain management techniques performed during needle procedure in children with intellectual disability (cases) compared to a population of children without intellectual disability (controls). This multicenter cohort study was performed from July 2016 to January 2018 in the pediatric ward of four urban hospitals in Italy. Eligible subjects were children with and without intellectual disability, from 4 to 17 years old, who needed venipuncture or intravenous cannulation for diagnosis or treatment. Use of topical anesthesia, distraction techniques, and physical or verbal comfort during procedures were recorded. Pain and anxiety scores were also recorded. Forty-seven cases and 94 controls were recruited. Three pain- and anxiety-relieving techniques were performed during the procedure in 12 (25%) cases and in 10 controls (11%); two techniques were performed in 23 (50%) cases and in 26 (28%) controls; 12 (25%) cases and 52 (55%) controls received only one.Conclusion: In this series, children with intellectual disability received significantly more relieving techniques, but experienced more pain and anxiety when compared to children without intellectual disability. What is Known: • Children with intellectual disability experience more episodes of pain than cognitively healthy ones, and almost 10% of these episodes are due to medical procedures. What is New: • Children with intellectual disability despite receiving more relieving techniques during a needle-related procedure experienced more pain and anxiety when compared to healthy children.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

alcohol consumption impact blood pressure (BP) regulation remains unknown. We hypothesized that a genome-wide association study accounting for gene-alcohol consumption interaction for BP might identify additional BP loci and contribute to the understanding of alcohol-related BP regulation. We conducted a large two-stage investigation incorporating joint testing of main genetic effects and single nucleotide variant (SNV)-alcohol consumption interactions. In Stage 1, genome-wide discovery meta-analyses in ≈131K individuals across several ancestry groups yielded 3,514 SNVs (245 loci) with suggestive evidence of association (P &lt; 1.0 x 10-5). In Stage 2, these SNVs were tested for independent external replication in ≈440K individuals across multiple ancestries. We identified and replicated (at Bonferroni correction threshold) five novel BP loci (380 SNVs in 21 genes) and 49 previously reported BP loci (2,159 SNVs in 109 genes) in European ancestry, and in multi-ancestry meta-analyses (P &lt; 5.0 x 10-8). For African ancestry samples, we detected 18 potentially novel BP loci (P &lt; 5.0 x 10-8) in Stage 1 that warrant further replication. Additionally, correlated meta-analysis identified eight novel BP loci (11 genes). Several genes in these loci (e.g., PINX1, GATA4, BLK, FTO and GABBR2) have been previously reported to be associated with alcohol consumption. These findings provide insights into the role of alcohol consumption in the genetic architecture of hypertension.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29912962?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Concina, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pani, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bravo, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbone, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carletti, Claudia V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Knowles, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parpinel, Maria</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nutrient intakes in an Italian population of infants during the complementary feeding period.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health Nutr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health Nutr</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018 Nov</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3018-3026</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;To describe the nutrient intakes of an Italian cohort of infants at 6, 9 and 12 months of age.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;Dietary data were collected using a food diary at three follow-ups (6, 9 and 12 months of age of infants). The infants' dietary data were used to estimate nutrient intakes using the Italian food composition database integrated with data from nutritional labels and the literature. The mean and standard deviation, median and interquartile range, minimum and maximum, and 5th, 25th, 75th and 95th percentiles were calculated for the daily intake of twenty-eight nutrients, with sex differences evaluated using parametric/non-parametric statistical methods.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SETTING: &lt;/b&gt;A prospective population-based birth cohort.SubjectInfants (n 400) living in the urban area of Trieste (Italy).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The sex distribution was fairly balanced at each follow-up. The mean daily intakes of energy and the other twenty-seven nutrients considered were greater in males at all follow-ups. In particular, a significant statistical difference was observed in higher male consumption of cholesterol at 9 months and in energy and carbohydrate intakes at 12 months (P &lt; 0·05). The mean daily intake of proteins was greater than that recommended by the Italian Dietary Reference Values at all follow-ups.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;These preliminary results provide a useful basis for understanding the nutrient intake patterns of infants in this area of Italy during the first year of life.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal"

The prevalence of HEN (205 pts/million inhabitants) and HPN (16 pts/million inhabitants) has dramatically increased in Italy in the last 9 years. Neurodisabling conditions were the first indication for HEN by tube or mouth while HPN is mainly requested in digestive disorders.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;HAN is a widespread and rapidly growing treatment in Italy, as well as in other European countries.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the intensity of pain at the ED visit of children presenting with an extremity injury and the risk of fracture.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We conducted a retrospective study, considering all patients presenting to the ED of a children's hospital in Italy, with an accidental extremity injury, between May and December 2015. We selected all children aged 8 to 17 years who underwent an x-ray. Children with major, multiple, or nonextremity injuries were excluded. Age, sex, spontaneous and palpation pain, local swelling, time between injury, and medical evaluation were recorded. Sensibility and specificity of spontaneous and palpation pain in detecting a fracture were calculated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;We reviewed 994 medical records; of these, 344 (34.6%) reported a fracture. Children's median age was 12 years (interquartile range [IQR], 10-14). Median spontaneous pain at the ED visit was not significantly different between children with and without a fracture: 4.0 (1.0-6.0) and 5 (1.0-6.0), respectively (P = 0.129). Children with mild palpation pain and children without an increase of pain of at least 2 points between spontaneous and palpation pain were fractured in 3.2% and 0.97% of cases, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;In this series, pain intensity in children with a minor extremity injury was not a good marker of fracture. Nevertheless, children with mild palpation pain or with a mild increase of pain between spontaneous and palpation pain had a low risk of fracture.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29369266?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mangogna, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Belmonte, Beatrice</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agostinis, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gulino, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrara, Ines</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanconati, Fabrizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tripodo, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Romano, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kishore, Uday</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bulla, Roberta</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pathological Significance and Prognostic Value of Surfactant Protein D in Cancer.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Front Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Front Immunol</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1748</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is a pattern recognition molecule belonging to the Collectin (collagen-containing C-type lectin) family that has pulmonary as well as extra-pulmonary existence. In the lungs, it is a well-established opsonin that can agglutinate a range of microbes, and enhance their clearance  phagocytosis and super-oxidative burst. It can interfere with allergen-IgE interaction and suppress basophil and mast cell activation. However, it is now becoming evident that SP-D is likely to be an innate immune surveillance molecule against tumor development. SP-D has been shown to induce apoptosis in sensitized eosinophils derived from allergic patients and a leukemic cell line  p53 pathway. Recently, SP-D has been shown to suppress lung cancer progression  interference with the epidermal growth factor signaling. In addition, a truncated form of recombinant human SP-D has been reported to induce apoptosis in pancreatic adenocarcinoma  Fas-mediated pathway in a p53-independent manner. To further establish a correlation between SP-D presence/levels and normal and cancer tissues, we performed a bioinformatics analysis, using Oncomine dataset and the survival analysis platforms Kaplan-Meier plotter, to assess if SP-D can serve as a potential prognostic marker for human lung cancer, in addition to human gastric, breast, and ovarian cancers. We also analyzed immunohistochemically the presence of SP-D in normal and tumor human tissues. We conclude that (1) in the lung, gastric, and breast cancers, there is a lower expression of SP-D than normal tissues; (2) in ovarian cancer, there is a higher expression of SP-D than normal tissue; and (3) in lung cancer, the presence of SP-D could be associated with a favorable prognosis. On the contrary, at non-pulmonary sites such as gastric, breast, and ovarian cancers, the presence of SP-D could be associated with unfavorable prognosis. Correlation between the levels of SP-D and overall survival requires further investigation. Our analysis involves a large number of dataset; therefore, any trend observed is reliable. Despite apparent complexity within the results, it is evident that cancer tissues that produce less levels of SP-D compared to their normal tissue counterparts are probably less susceptible to SP-D-mediated immune surveillance mechanisms  infiltrating immune cells.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30127783?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rupel, Katia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zupin, Luisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Colliva, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kamada, Anselmo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poropat, Augusto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ottaviani, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gobbo, Margherita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fanfoni, Lidia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gratton, Rossella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Santoro, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Lenarda, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biasotto, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zacchigna, Serena</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Photobiomodulation at Multiple Wavelengths Differentially Modulates Oxidative Stress  and .</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oxid Med Cell Longev</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oxid Med Cell Longev</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aged, 80 and over</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Keratinocytes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lasers, Semiconductor</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Low-Level Light Therapy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neutrophils</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oxidation-Reduction</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oxidative Stress</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stomatitis</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6510159</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Photobiomodulation (PBM) is emerging as an effective strategy for the management of multiple inflammatory conditions, including oral mucositis (OM) in cancer patients who receive chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Still, the poor understanding of the mechanisms by which the light interacts with biological tissues and the heterogeneity of light sources and protocols employed worldwide significantly limits its applicability. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are massively generated during the early phases of OM and play a major role in the pathogenesis of inflammation in general. Here, we report the results of a clinical and experimental study, aimed at evaluating the effect of laser light at different wavelengths on oxidative stress  in oncologic patients suffering from OM and  in two cell types abundantly present within the inflamed oral mucosa, neutrophil polymorphonuclear (PMN) granulocytes, and keratinocytes. In addition to standard ROS detection methods, we exploited a roGFP2-Orp1 genetically encoded sensor, allowing specific, quantitative, and dynamic imaging of redox events in living cells in response to oxidative stress and PBM. We found that the various wavelengths differentially modulate ROS production. In particular, the 660 nm laser light increases ROS production when applied either before or after an oxidative stimulus. In contrast, the 970 nm laser light exerted a moderate antioxidant activity both in the saliva of OM patients and in both cell types. The most marked reduction in the levels of ROS was detected in cells exposed either to the 800 nm laser light or to the combination of the three wavelengths. Overall, our study demonstrates that PBM exerts different effects on the redox state of both PMNs and keratinocytes depending on the used wavelength and prompts the validation of a multiwavelength protocol in the clinical settings.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

PR interval measures atrio-ventricular depolarization and conduction, and abnormal PR interval is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation and heart block. Our genome-wide association study of over 92,000 European-descent individuals identifies 44 PR interval loci (34 novel). Examination of these loci reveals known and previously not-yet-reported biological processes involved in cardiac atrial electrical activity. Genes in these loci are over-represented in cardiac disease processes including heart block and atrial fibrillation. Variants in over half of the 44 loci were associated with atrial or blood transcript expression levels, or were in high linkage disequilibrium with missense variants. Six additional loci were identified either by meta-analysis of ~105,000 African and European-descent individuals and/or by pleiotropic analyses combining PR interval with heart rate, QRS interval, and atrial fibrillation. These findings implicate developmental pathways, and identify transcription factors, ion-channel genes, and cell-junction/cell-signaling proteins in atrio-ventricular conduction, identifying potential targets for drug development.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30046033?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miceli Sopo, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gurnari, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monaco, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Romano, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Liotti, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cuomo, B</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dello Iacono, I</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Badina, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Longo, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calvani, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giannone, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calabrò, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scala, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Verga, M C</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Predictive value of the number of adverse reaction episodes for the IgE-mediated food allergy diagnosis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Allergol Immunopathol (Madr)</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Allergol Immunopathol (Madr)</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018 Dec 17</style></date></pub-dates></dates><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: &lt;/b&gt;The reproducibility of the adverse reaction increases the suggestiveness of a history of food allergy. However, the positive predictive value (PPV) of multiple adverse reaction episodes for the diagnosis of IgE-mediated food allergy is not known. This evaluation was the objective of our study.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PATIENTS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We retrospectively studied 180 children with a history of non-anaphylactic adverse reactions after the ingestion of a food. All children had the prick test positive for the offending food and performed the oral food challenge (OFC) within 12 months after the last adverse reaction episode (ARE). We have evaluated whether increasing the number of ARE increased the probability that the OFC would be positive (failed).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;93 patients (52%) presented one ARE, 49 (27%) presented two ARE, 24 (13%) presented three ARE, 14 (8%) patients presented≥four ARE. The OFC was positive in 94/180 (52%). The outcome of the OFC was found to be positively correlated with the number of ARE (OR=1.56; 95% CI=1.16-2.09; p=0.003). A PPV=100% was observed with a number of ARE≥five.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The number of ARE is an important predictor of the diagnosis of food allergy, although less than we would have imagined. The number of ARE could be used to increase the predictability of the diagnostic tests currently in use, to define clinical prediction rules alternative to OFC and easy to use in clinical practice.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30573320?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agostinis, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rami, Damiano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zacchi, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bossi, Fleur</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stampalija, Tamara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mangogna, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amadio, Leonardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vidergar, Romana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vecchi Brumatti, Liza</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celeghini, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radillo, Oriano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sargent, Ian</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bulla, Roberta</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pre-eclampsia affects procalcitonin production in placental tissue.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Reprod Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am.

PCT is synthesized by almost all cell types and tissues, including monocytes and parenchymal tissue, upon LPS stimulation. To date, there is no evidence for PCT expression in the placenta both in physiological and pathological conditions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHOD: &lt;/b&gt;Circulating and placental PCT levels were analysed in pre-eclamptic (PE) and control patients. Placental cells and macrophages (PBDM), stimulated with PE sera, were analysed for PCT expression. The effect of anti-TNF-α antibody was analysed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Higher PCT levels were detected in PE sera and in PE placentae compared to healthy women. PE trophoblasts showed increased PCT expression compared to those isolated from healthy placentae. PE sera induced an upregulation of PCT production in macrophages and placental cells. The treatment of PBDM with PE sera in the presence of anti-TNF-α completely abrogated the effect induced by pathologic sera.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Trophoblast cells are the main producer of PCT in PE placentae. TNF-α, in association with other circulating factors present in PE sera, upregulates PCT production in macrophages and normal placental cells, thus contributing to the observed increased in circulating PCT in PE sera.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29427369?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Starc, Meta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Norbedo, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tubaro, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bassanese, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Red Flags in Torticollis: A Historical Cohort Study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Emerg Care</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Emerg Care</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cohort Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Emergency Service, Hospital</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hospitalization</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retrospective Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Torticollis</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018 Jul</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">34</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">463-466</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;This study aimed to assess the spectrum of pathologies responsible for torticollis in children presenting to the emergency department and to evaluate the associated symptoms to determine clinical red flags for hospitalization.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;This was a historical retrospective cohort study.

It is one of the most widespread gynecological diseases with a 10-15% prevalence in the general female population, rising up to 30-45% in patients with infertility. Although it was first described in 1860, its etiology and pathogenesis are still unclear. It is now accepted that inflammation plays a central role in the development and progression of endometriosis. In particular, it is marked by an inflammatory process associated with the overproduction of an array of inflammatory mediators such as prostaglandins, metalloproteinases, cytokines, and chemokines. In addition, the growth and adhesion of endometrial cells in the peritoneal cavity due to reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals lead to disease onset, its ensuing symptoms-among which pain and infertility. The aim of our review is to evaluate the role of oxidative stress and ROS in the pathogenesis of endometriosis and the efficacy of antioxidant therapy in the treatment and mitigation of its symptoms.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29743986?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lucafò, Marianna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Silvestre, Alessia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Romano, Maurizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Avian, Alice</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antonelli, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelossi, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Naviglio, Samuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stocco, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decorti, Giuliana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Iudicibus, Sara</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Role of the Long Non-Coding RNA Growth Arrest-Specific 5 in Glucocorticoid Response in Children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Basic Clin Pharmacol Toxicol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Basic Clin.

Given the high incidence of suboptimal response, associated with a significant number of side-effects, that are particularly severe in paediatric patients, the identification of subjects that are most likely to respond poorly to GCs is extremely important. Recent evidence suggests that the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) GAS5 could be a potential marker of GC resistance. To address this issue, we evaluated the association between the lncRNA GAS5 and the efficacy of steroids, in terms of inhibition of proliferation, in two cell lines derived from colon and ovarian cancers, to confirm the sensitivity and specificity of these lncRNAs. These cells showed a different sensitivity to GCs and revealed differential expression of GAS5 after treatment. GAS5 was up-regulated in GC-resistant cells and accumulated more in the cytoplasm compared to the nucleus in response to the drug. The functions of GAS5 were assessed by silencing, and we found that GAS5 knock-down reduced the proliferation during GC treatment. Furthermore, for the first time, we measured GAS5 levels in 19 paediatric IBD patients at diagnosis and after the first cycle of GCs, and we demonstrated an up-regulation of the lncRNA in patients with unfavourable steroid response. Our preliminary results indicate that GAS5 could be considered a novel pharmacogenomic marker useful for the personalization of GC therapy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28722800?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Colombo, Elisa A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Locatelli, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cubells Sánchez, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Romeo, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Elcioglu, Nursel H</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maystadt, Isabelle</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Esteve Martínez, Altea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sironi, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fontana, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Finelli, Palma</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gervasini, Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecile, Vanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Larizza, Lidia</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rothmund-Thomson Syndrome: Insights from New Patients on the Genetic Variability Underpinning Clinical Presentation and Cancer Outcome.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Mol Sci</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Mol Sci</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Line, Tumor</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Homozygote</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mutation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pedigree</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phenotype</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RecQ Helicases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rothmund-Thomson Syndrome</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018 Apr 06</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Biallelic mutations in  gene, a caretaker of the genome, cause Rothmund-Thomson type-II syndrome (RTS-II) and confer increased cancer risk if they damage the helicase domain. We describe five families exemplifying clinical and allelic heterogeneity of RTS-II, and report the effect of pathogenic  variants by  predictions and transcripts analyses. Complete phenotype of patients #39 and #42 whose affected siblings developed osteosarcoma correlates with their c.[1048_1049del], c.[1878+32_1878+55del] and c.[1568G&gt;C;1573delT], c.[3021_3022del] variants which damage the helicase domain. Literature survey highlights enrichment of these variants affecting the helicase domain in patients with cancer outcome raising the issue of strict oncological surveillance. Conversely, patients #29 and #19 have a mild phenotype and carry, respectively, the unreported homozygous c.3265G&gt;T and c.3054A&gt;G variants, both sparing the helicase domain. Finally, despite matching several criteria for RTS clinical diagnosis, patient #38 is heterozygous for c.2412_2414del; no pathogenic CNVs out of those evidenced by high-resolution CGH-array, emerged

variants with minor allele frequency &gt;5% are associated with kidney function. GWAS using more complete reference sets for imputation, such as those from The 1000 Genomes project, promise to identify novel loci that have been missed by previous efforts. To investigate the value of such a more complete variant catalog, we conducted a GWAS meta-analysis of kidney function based on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in 110,517 European ancestry participants using 1000 Genomes imputed data. We identified 10 novel loci with p-value &lt; 5 × 10 previously missed by HapMap-based GWAS. Six of these loci (HOXD8, ARL15, PIK3R1, EYA4, ASTN2, and EPB41L3) are tagged by common SNPs unique to the 1000 Genomes reference panel. Using pathway analysis, we identified 39 significant (FDR &lt; 0.05) genes and 127 significantly (FDR &lt; 0.05) enriched gene sets, which were missed by our previous analyses. Among those, the 10 identified novel genes are part of pathways of kidney development, carbohydrate metabolism, cardiac septum development and glucose metabolism. These results highlight the utility of re-imputing from denser reference panels, until whole-genome sequencing becomes feasible in large samples.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28452372?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caorsi, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Penco, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grossi, Alice</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Insalaco, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Omenetti, Alessia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alessio, Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Conti, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marchetti, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Picco, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martino, Silvana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Malattia, Clara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gallizi, Romina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Podda, Rosa Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salis, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Falcini, Fernanda</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schena, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Garbarino, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morreale, Alessia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pardeo, Manuela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventrici, Claudia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Passarelli, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zhou, Qing</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Severino, Mariasavina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gandolfo, Carlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Damonte, Gianluca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ravelli, Angelo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aksentijevich, Ivona</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ceccherini, Isabella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gattorno, Marco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ADA2 deficiency (DADA2) as an unrecognised cause of early onset polyarteritis nodosa and stroke: a multicentre national study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann Rheum Dis</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann.

Forty-eight patients from 43 families were included in the study.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Direct sequencing of  was performed by Sanger analysis. Adenosine deaminase 2 (ADA2) enzymatic activity was analysed in monocyte isolated from patients and healthy controls incubated with adenosine and with or without an ADA1 inhibitor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Biallelic homozygous or compound heterozygous  mutations were detected in 15/48 patients. A heterozygous disease-associated mutation (p.G47V) was observed in two affected brothers. The mean age of onset of the genetically positive patients was 24 months (6 months to 7 years). Ten patients displayed one or more cerebral strokes during their disease course. Low immunoglobulin levels were detected in six patients. Thalidomide and anti-TNF (tumour necrosis factor) blockers were the most effective drugs. Patients without  mutations had a later age at disease onset, a lower prevalence of neurological and skin manifestations; one of these patients displayed all the clinical features of adenosine deaminase 2deficiency (DADA2) and a defective enzymatic activity suggesting the presence of a missed mutation or a synthesis defect.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;DADA2 accounts for paediatric patients diagnosed with PAN-like disease and strokes and might explain an unrecognised condition in patients followed by adult rheumatologist. Timely diagnosis and treatment with anti-TNF agents are crucial for the prevention of severe complications of the disease. Functional assay to measure ADA2 activity should complement genetic testing in patients with non-confirming genotypes.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28522451?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanus, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Battistutta, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aliverti, Renata</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montico, Marcella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cremaschi, Silvana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carrozzi, Marco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent Admissions to Emergency Departments for Self-Injurious Thoughts and Behaviors.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PLoS One</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PLoS ONE</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Incidence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Medical Records</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patient Admission</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retrospective Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Self-Injurious Behavior</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sex Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Suicidal Ideation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Suicide, Attempted</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e0170979</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The objective of the present study was to describe the incidence and the characteristics of Self-Injurious Thoughts and Behaviors (SITBs), among adolescents aged 11-18 admitted, over a two year period, to all the Emergency Departments of a Region of North-eastern Italy through a comprehensive analysis of medical records. A two-step search was performed in the regional ED electronic database. First, we identified the cases that had been clearly diagnosed as SITBs by an Emergency Department physician. Secondly, suspect cases were detected through a keyword search of the database, and the medical records of these cases were hand screened to identify SITBs. The mean annual incidence rate of SITBs was 90 per 100,000 adolescents aged 11-18 years. Events were more frequent in females. Drug poisoning was the most frequently adopted method (54%). In 42% of cases a diagnosis of SITB was not explicitly reported by the physician. In 65% of cases adolescents were discharged within hours of admission. Only 9% of patients started a psychiatric assessment and treatment program during hospital stay. This research confirms the high incidence of SITBs among adolescents and highlights the difficulty in their proper diagnosis and management. Such difficulty is confirmed by the fact that only a few patients, even among those with a clear diagnosis, were sent for psychiatric assessment. Correct identification and management of SITB patients needs to be improved, since SITBs are an important public health problem in adolescence and one of the main risk factors for suicide.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28125701?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Floridia, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Masuelli, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meloni, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cetin, I</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tamburrini, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cavaliere, A F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dalzero, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sansone, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberico, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guerra, B</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spinillo, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chiadò Fiorio Tin, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ravizza, M</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italian Group on Surveillance on Antiretroviral Treatment in Pregnancy</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling in HIV-infected pregnant women: a multicentre case series.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BJOG</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BJOG</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amniocentesis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Analysis of Variance</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anti-Retroviral Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chi-Square Distribution</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chorionic Villi Sampling</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fetal Death</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">HIV Infections</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infectious Disease Transmission, Vertical</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Odds Ratio</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy Complications, Infectious</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017 Jul</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">124</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1218-1223</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVES: &lt;/b&gt;To assess in pregnant women with HIV the rates of amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS), and the outcomes associated with such procedures.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;Observational study. Data from the Italian National Program on Surveillance on Antiretroviral Treatment in Pregnancy were used.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SETTING: &lt;/b&gt;University and hospital clinics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;POPULATION: &lt;/b&gt;Pregnant women with HIV.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Temporal trends were analysed by analysis of variance and by the Chi-square test for trend. Quantitative variables were compared by Student's t-test and categorical data by the Chi-square test, with odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals calculated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: &lt;/b&gt;Rate of invasive testing, intrauterine death, HIV transmission.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Between 2001 and 2015, among 2065 pregnancies in women with HIV, 113 (5.5%) had invasive tests performed. The procedures were conducted under antiretroviral treatment in 99 cases (87.6%), with a significant increase over time in the proportion of tests performed under highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) (100% in 2011-2015). Three intrauterine deaths were observed (2.6%), and 14 pregnancies were terminated because of fetal anomalies. Among 96 live newborns, eight had no information available on HIV status. Among the remaining 88 cases with either amniocentesis (n = 75), CVS (n = 12), or both (n = 1), two HIV transmissions occurred (2.3%). No HIV transmission occurred among the women who were on HAART at the time of invasive testing, and none after 2005.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The findings reinforce the assumption that invasive prenatal testing does not increase the risk of HIV vertical transmission among pregnant women under suppressive antiretroviral treatment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: &lt;/b&gt;No HIV transmission occurred among women who underwent amniocentesis or CVS under effective anti-HIV regimens.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal"

cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides are rare systemic diseases that usually occur in adulthood. They comprise granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA, Wegener's), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA, Churg-Strauss syndrome). Their clinical presentation is often heterogeneous, with frequent involvement of the respiratory tract, the kidney, the skin and the joints. ANCA-associated vasculitis is rare in childhood but North-American and European cohort studies performed during the last decade have clarified their phenotype, patterns of renal involvement and their prognostic implications, and outcome. Herein, we review the main clinical and therapeutic aspects of childhood-onset ANCA-associated vasculitis, and provide preliminary data on demographic characteristics and organ manifestations of an Italian multicentre cohort.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

We performed a two-stage meta-analysis of associations between genotypes from the Illumina exome array and eGFR on the basis of serum creatinine (eGFRcrea) among participants of European ancestry from the CKDGen Consortium (: 111,666; : 48,343). In single-variant analyses, we identified single nucleotide polymorphisms at seven new loci associated with eGFRcrea (, , and ; &lt;3.7×10), of which most were common and annotated as nonsynonymous variants. Gene-based analysis identified associations of functional rare variants in three genes with eGFRcrea, including a novel association with the SOS Ras/Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 2 gene,  (=5.4×10 by sequence kernel association test). Experimental follow-up in zebrafish embryos revealed changes in glomerular gene expression and renal tubule morphology in the embryonic kidney of  and -knockdowns. These developmental abnormalities associated with altered blood clearance rate and heightened prevalence of edema. This study expands the number of loci associated with kidney function and identifies novel genes with potential roles in kidney formation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27920155?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hewitt, Ian K</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pennesi, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morello, William</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montini, Giovanni</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Urinary Tract Infection-Related Renal Scarring: A Systematic Review.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatrics</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatrics</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acute Disease</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antibiotic Prophylaxis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cicatrix</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kidney</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pyelonephritis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Urinary Tract Infections</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017 May</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">139</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONTEXT: &lt;/b&gt;Acute pyelonephritis may result in renal scarring. Recent prospective studies have shown a small benefit of antibiotic prophylaxis in preventing symptomatic and febrile urinary tract infections (UTIs), while being underpowered to detect any influence in prevention of renal damage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVES: &lt;/b&gt;Review of the literature and a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of antibiotic prophylaxis on UTI-related renal scarring.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DATA SOURCES: &lt;/b&gt;Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Controlled Trials Register electronic databases were searched for studies published in any language and bibliographies of identified prospective randomized controlled trials (RCTs) performed and published between 1946 and August 2016.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;STUDY SELECTION: &lt;/b&gt;Subjects 18 years of age or younger with symptomatic or febrile UTIs, enrolled in prospective RCTs of antibiotic prophylaxis where Tc dimercaptosuccinic acid scans were performed at entry into the study and at late follow-up to detect new scar formation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DATA EXTRACTION: &lt;/b&gt;The literature search, study characteristics, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and risk of bias assessment were independently evaluated by 2 authors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Seven RCTs (1427 subjects) were included in the meta-analysis. Our results show no influence of antibiotic prophylaxis in preventing renal scarring (pooled risk ratio, 0.83; 95% confidence interval, 0.55-1.26) as did a subanalysis restricted to those subjects with vesicoureteral reflux (pooled risk ratio, 0.79; 95% confidence interval, 0.51-1.24).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;LIMITATIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Limitations include the small number of studies, short duration of follow-up, and insufficient children with high-grade dilating reflux and/or renal dysplasia enrolled in the studies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Antibiotic prophylaxis is not indicated for the prevention of renal scarring after a first or second symptomatic or febrile UTI in otherwise healthy children.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28557737?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Farruggia, Piero</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Puccio, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fioredda, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lanza, Tiziana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Porretti, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ramenghi, Ugo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barone, Angelica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bonanomi, Sonia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Finocchi, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ghilardi, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ladogana, Saverio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marra, Nicoletta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martire, Baldassare</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Notarangelo, Lucia Dora</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Onofrillo, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pillon, Marta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Russo, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lo Valvo, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Serafinelli, Jessica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tucci, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zunica, Fiammetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Verzegnassi, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dufour, Carlo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Autoimmune neutropenia of childhood secondary to other autoimmune disorders: Data from the Italian neutropenia registry.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Hematol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am.

In this report, we describe the case of a young Brazilian woman affected by recurrent ocular toxoplasmosis and presenting with a manic episode with psychotic features in the context of a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder (BD), type I. We observed a relationship between ocular manifestations and the clinical course of bipolar illness, confirmed by molecular analyses (nested-PCR), as well as by the high level of T. gondii specific IgG. This case report is the first showing the presence of circulating parasite DNA at the time of occurrence of psychiatric symptoms, thus providing further support for a possible role of the parasite in the pathogenesis of some cases of BD.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

groups, including children and adolescents, is essential for improving population health.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Objective: &lt;/b&gt;To quantify and describe levels and trends of mortality and nonfatal health outcomes among children and adolescents from 1990 to 2015 to provide a framework for policy discussion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Evidence Review: &lt;/b&gt;Cause-specific mortality and nonfatal health outcomes were analyzed for 195 countries and territories by age group, sex, and year from 1990 to 2015 using standardized approaches for data processing and statistical modeling, with subsequent analysis of the findings to describe levels and trends across geography and time among children and adolescents 19 years or younger. A composite indicator of income, education, and fertility was developed (Socio-demographic Index [SDI]) for each geographic unit and year, which evaluates the historical association between SDI and health loss.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Findings: &lt;/b&gt;Global child and adolescent mortality decreased from 14.18 million (95% uncertainty interval [UI], 14.09 million to 14.28 million) deaths in 1990 to 7.26 million (95% UI, 7.14 million to 7.39 million) deaths in 2015, but progress has been unevenly distributed. Countries with a lower SDI had a larger proportion of mortality burden (75%) in 2015 than was the case in 1990 (61%). Most deaths in 2015 occurred in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Global trends were driven by reductions in mortality owing to infectious, nutritional, and neonatal disorders, which in the aggregate led to a relative increase in the importance of noncommunicable diseases and injuries in explaining global disease burden. The absolute burden of disability in children and adolescents increased 4.3% (95% UI, 3.1%-5.6%) from 1990 to 2015, with much of the increase owing to population growth and improved survival for children and adolescents to older ages. Other than infectious conditions, many top causes of disability are associated with long-term sequelae of conditions present at birth (eg, neonatal disorders, congenital birth defects, and hemoglobinopathies) and complications of a variety of infections and nutritional deficiencies. Anemia, developmental intellectual disability, hearing loss, epilepsy, and vision loss are important contributors to childhood disability that can arise from multiple causes. Maternal and reproductive health remains a key cause of disease burden in adolescent females, especially in lower-SDI countries. In low-SDI countries, mortality is the primary driver of health loss for children and adolescents, whereas disability predominates in higher-SDI locations; the specific pattern of epidemiological transition varies across diseases and injuries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusions and Relevance: &lt;/b&gt;Consistent international attention and investment have led to sustained improvements in causes of health loss among children and adolescents in many countries, although progress has been uneven. The persistence of infectious diseases in some countries, coupled with ongoing epidemiologic transition to injuries and noncommunicable diseases, require all countries to carefully evaluate and implement appropriate strategies to maximize the health of their children and adolescents and for the international community to carefully consider which elements of child and adolescent health should be monitored.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28384795?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gianoncelli, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kourousias, George</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cammisuli, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cassese, Damiano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rizzardi, Clara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radillo, Oriano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lazzarino, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pascolo, Lorella</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Combined use of AFM and soft X-ray microscopy to reveal fibres' internalization in mesothelial cells.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Analyst</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Analyst</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Asbestos</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Line</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epithelial Cells</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epithelium</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Microscopy, Atomic Force</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">X-Rays</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017 May 30</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">142</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1982-1992</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Nanotoxicology and nanomedicine investigations often require the probing of nano-objects such as fibres and particles in biological samples and cells, whilst internalization and intracellular destiny are the main issues for in vitro cellular studies. Various high resolution microscopy techniques are well suited for providing this highly sought-after information. However, sample preparation, nanomaterial composition and sectioning challenges make it often difficult to establish whether the fibres or particles have been internalized or they are simply overlaying or underlying the biological matter. In this paper we suggest a novel suitable combination of two different microscopic techniques to reveal in intact cells the uptake of asbestos fibres by mesothelial cells. After exposure to asbestos fibres and fixation, cells were first analysed under the AFM instrument and then imaged under the TwinMic soft X-ray microscope at Elettra Sincrotrone. The suggested approach combines standard soft X-ray microscopy imaging and AFM microscopy, with a common non-invasive sample preparation protocol which drastically reduces the experimental uncertainty and provides a quick and definitive answer to the nanoparticle cellular and tissue uptake.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28509933?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biffi, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Andolfi, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caltagirone, Claudia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Garrovo, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Falchi, Angela M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lippolis, Vito</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lorenzon, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Macor, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meli, Valeria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monduzzi, Maura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Obiols-Rabasa, Marc</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Petrizza, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prodi, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rosa, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schmidt, Judith</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Talmon, Yeshayahu</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Murgia, Sergio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cubosomes for in vivo fluorescence lifetime imaging.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nanotechnology</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nanotechnology</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carbocyanines</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Survival</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Drug Compounding</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Erythrocytes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fluorescent Dyes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Glycerides</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Injections, Intravenous</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Liposomes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Liver</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mice</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mice, Inbred BALB C</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nanoparticles</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NIH 3T3 Cells</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Optical Imaging</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Particle Size</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spectroscopy, Near-Infrared</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Time-Lapse Imaging</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017 Feb 03</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">28</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">055102</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Herein we provided the first proof of principle for in vivo fluorescence optical imaging application using monoolein-based cubosomes in a healthy mouse animal model.

&lt;/b&gt;Results on the association between prenatal exposure to methylmercury (MeHg) and child neuropsychological development are heterogeneous. Underlying genetic differences across study populations could contribute to this varied response to MeHg. Studies in Drosophila have identified the cytochrome p450 3A (CYP3A) family as candidate MeHg susceptibility genes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVES: &lt;/b&gt;We evaluated whether genetic variation in CYP3A genes influences the association between prenatal exposure to MeHg and child neuropsychological development.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;The study population included 2639 children from three birth cohort studies: two subcohorts in Seychelles (SCDS) (n=1160, 20 and 30months of age, studied during the years 2001-2012), two subcohorts from Spain (INMA) (n=625, 14months of age, 2003-2009), and two subcohorts from Italy and Greece (PHIME) (n=854, 18months of age, 2006-2011). Total mercury, as a surrogate of MeHg, was analyzed in maternal hair and/or cord blood samples. Neuropsychological development was evaluated using Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID). Three functional polymorphisms in the CYP3A family were analyzed: rs2257401 (CYP3A7), rs776746 (CYP3A5), and rs2740574 (CYP3A4).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;There was no association between CYP3A polymorphisms and cord mercury concentrations. The scores for the BSID mental scale improved with increasing cord blood mercury concentrations for carriers of the most active alleles (β[95% CI]:=2.9[1.53,4.27] for CYP3A7 rs2257401 GG+GC, 2.51[1.04,3.98] for CYP3A5 rs776746 AA+AG and 2.31[0.12,4.50] for CYP3A4 rs2740574 GG+AG). This association was near the null for CYP3A7 CC, CYP3A5 GG and CYP3A4 AA genotypes. The interaction between the CYP3A genes and total mercury was significant (p&lt;0.05) in European cohorts only.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our results suggest that the polymorphisms in CYP3A genes may modify the response to dietary MeHg exposure during early life development.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28500872?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cappelli, Enrico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cuccarolo, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stroppiana, Giorgia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miano, Maurizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bottega, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cossu, Vanessa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Degan, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ravera, Silvia</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Defects in mitochondrial energetic function compels Fanconi Anaemia cells to glycolytic metabolism.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Basis Dis</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Line</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fanconi Anemia</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Glycolysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mitochondria</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oxidative Phosphorylation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oxidative Stress</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017 06</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1863</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1214-1221</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Energetic metabolism plays an essential role in the differentiation of haematopoietic stem cells (HSC). In Fanconi Anaemia (FA), DNA damage is accumulated during HSC differentiation, an event that is likely associated with bone marrow failure (BMF). One of the sources of the DNA damage is altered mitochondrial metabolism and an associated increment of oxidative stress. Recently, altered mitochondrial morphology and a deficit in the energetic activity in FA cells have been reported. Considering that mitochondria are the principal site of aerobic ATP production, we investigated FA metabolism in order to understand what pathways are able to compensate for this energy deficiency. In this work, we report that the impairment in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in FA cells is countered by an increase in glycolytic flux. By contrast, glutaminolysis appears lower with respect to controls. Therefore, it is possible to conclude that in FA cells glycolysis represents the main pathway for producing energy, balancing the NADH/NAD ratio by the conversion of pyruvate to lactate. Finally, we show that a forced switch from glycolytic to OXPHOS metabolism increases FA cell oxidative stress. This could be the cause of the impoverishment in bone marrow HSC during exit from the homeostatic quiescent state. This is the first work that systematically explores FA energy metabolism, highlighting its flaws, and discusses the possible relationships between these defects and BMF.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28315453?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taddio, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rossi, Eleonora Dei</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pastore, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lepore, Loredana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bronzetti, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marrani, Edoardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mottolese, Biancamaria D'Agata</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Simonini, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cimaz, Rolando</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Describing Kawasaki shock syndrome: results from a retrospective study and literature review.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin Rheumatol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin.

The objectives of the study are to describe the main clinical presentation, echocardiographic, and laboratory findings, as well as the treatment options and clinical outcomes of KSS patients when compared with KD patients. This is a retrospective study. All children referred to two pediatric rheumatology units from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2014, were enrolled. Patients were divided into patients with or without KSS. We compared the two groups according to the following variables: sex, age, type of KD (classic, with less frequent manifestations, or incomplete), clinical manifestations, cardiac involvement, laboratory findings, therapy administered, response to treatment, and outcome. Eighty-four patients with KD were enrolled. Of these, five (6 %) met the criteria for KSS. Patients with KSS had higher values of C-reactive protein (p = 0.005), lower hemoglobin levels (p = 0.003); more frequent hyponatremia (p = 0.004), hypoalbuminemia (p = 0.004), and coagulopathy (p = 0.003); and increase in cardiac troponins (p = 0.000). Among the KSS patients, three had a coronary artery involvement, but none developed a permanent aneurysm. Intravenous immunoglobulin resistance was more frequent in the KSS group, although not significantly so (3/5, 60 % vs. 23/79, 30 %, P = NS). None of the five cases was fatal, and all recovered without sequelae. KSS patients are more likely to have higher rates of cardiac involvement. However, most cardiovascular abnormalities resolved promptly with therapy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27230223?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ladogana, Saverio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maruzzi, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Samperi, Piera</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Perrotta, Silverio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Del Vecchio, Giovanni C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Notarangelo, Lucia D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Farruggia, Piero</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Verzegnassi, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Masera, Nicoletta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Saracco, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fasoli, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miano, Maurizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girelli, Gabriella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barcellini, Wilma</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanella, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Russo, Giovanna</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AIHA Committee of the Italian Association of Paediatric Onco-haematology (AIEOP)</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diagnosis and management of newly diagnosed childhood autoimmune haemolytic anaemia.

DQRF treatment schedule in both study arms: 4 to 6 procedures of 15 to 20 min every 14 days (vaginal laxity, range 12-17 days; VVA/GSM, range 13-16). Operative temperatures in vaginal target tissues during procedure: vaginal laxity, 42 °C (range 40-43 °C); VVA/GSM, 40 °C (range 40-42 °C).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;In the vaginal laxity arm of the study, 25 women with subjective sensation of vaginal introital laxity (very to slightly loose). Assessment of urinary incontinence, satisfaction with sexual relationship and contribution of pelvic organ prolapse: Vaginal Laxity Questionnaire (VLQ, Italian certified translation) and short form of the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12, Italian certified translation). Further evaluation of sexual gratification: Sexual Satisfaction Questionnaire (SSQ). In the VVA/GSM arm of the study, 32 women with objective evidence of VVA and vaginal dryness and/or dyspareunia as most bothersome symptoms. Assessment of VVA/GSM symptoms and overall satisfaction with sexual life: specifically designed 10-cm visual analogue scales.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;All 4 to 6 planned DQRF sessions were well tolerated in both the vaginal laxity and VVA/GSM arms of the study, with no troubling pain, thermal injury or other immediate adverse effects during all the procedures. All screened women completed the planned DQRF treatment sessions in both arms of the extension study. There was no participant attrition with only a few occasionally missing visits over the 12-month follow-up period. Improvements were rapid in self-perception of introital looseness and related symptoms like dysuria/urinary incontinence and unrewarding sexual relationship (vaginal laxity patients) and atrophy-related symptoms including painful and unsatisfactory sexual activity (VVA/GSM patients). Participating women consistently reported wide-spectrum strong clinical improvements by the end of the planned DQRF sessions. Clinical improvements remained steady for the whole follow-up period in postmenopausal women; a statistically non-significant tendency to slight deterioration in VLQ, PISQ-12 and SSQ mean scores was detected after 6 to 9 months of follow-up in the vaginal laxity arm of the study.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Safety was excellent during all DQRF procedures and over the 12 months following the end of the treatment sessions. VLQ, PISQ-12 and SSQ scores (women with vaginal laxity), VAS self-evaluation of VVA/GSM symptoms and overall satisfaction with sexual life (women with VVA/GSM symptoms) improved rapidly, reaching almost normal levels by the last DQRF session and suggesting rapid, but also persistent, vaginal rejuvenation in both indications. A late tendency to some slight deterioration in women treated for vaginal laxity suggests such women might benefit from new DQRF treatments 6 to 9 months after the previous cycle.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28608667?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Xue, Yali</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mezzavilla, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Haber, Marc</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">McCarthy, Shane</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chen, Yuan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Narasimhan, Vagheesh</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gilly, Arthur</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ayub, Qasim</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Colonna, Vincenza</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Southam, Lorraine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Finan, Christopher</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Massaia, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chheda, Himanshu</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Palta, Priit</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ritchie, Graham</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Asimit, Jennifer</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dedoussis, George</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Palotie, Aarno</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ripatti, Samuli</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soranzo, Nicole</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toniolo, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wilson, James F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Durbin, Richard</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tyler-Smith, Chris</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zeggini, Eleftheria</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Enrichment of low-frequency functional variants revealed by whole-genome sequencing of multiple isolated European populations.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nat Commun</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nat Commun</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">European Continental Ancestry Group</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene Frequency</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Variation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetics, Population</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genome, Human</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Whole Genome Sequencing</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017 06 23</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15927</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The genetic features of isolated populations can boost power in complex-trait association studies, and an in-depth understanding of how their genetic variation has been shaped by their demographic history can help leverage these advantageous characteristics. Here, we perform a comprehensive investigation using 3,059 newly generated low-depth whole-genome sequences from eight European isolates and two matched general populations, together with published data from the 1000 Genomes Project and UK10K. Sequencing data give deeper and richer insights into population demography and genetic characteristics than genotype-chip data, distinguishing related populations more effectively and allowing their functional variants to be studied more fully. We demonstrate relaxation of purifying selection in the isolates, leading to enrichment of rare and low-frequency functional variants, using novel statistics, DVxy and SVxy. We also develop an isolation-index (Isx) that predicts the overall level of such key genetic characteristics and can thus help guide population choice in future complex-trait association studies.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28643794?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Franca, Raffaella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Favretto, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Granzotto, Marilena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decorti, Giuliana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rabusin, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stocco, Gabriele</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epratuzumab and Blinatumomab as Therapeutic Antibodies for Treatment of Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: Current Status and Future Perspectives.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr Med Chem</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr.

Management of relapsed patients includes standardized intensive risk-adapted regimens based on conventional drugs, and hematopoietic stem cells transplantation for patients with unfavourable features. Biological drugs, in particular the monoclonal antibody epratuzumab and the bi-functional recombinant single chain peptide blinatumomab, have been recently recognized as novel potential agents to be integrated in salvage ALL therapy to further improve rescue outcome.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A systematic search of peer-reviewed scientific literature and clinical trials in public databases has been carried out. Both clinical and pre-clinical studies have been included to summarize recent evidence on epratuzumab and blinatumomab for salvage ALL therapy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Sixty-two papers and 25 clinical trials were included. Although not all patients responded properly to these agents, their use in relapsed and refractory pediatric ALL seems promising.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Phase 3 studies have recently begun and more consistent results about epratuzumab and blinatumomab safety and efficacy in comparison to conventional therapies are expected in the next years. Epratuzumab seems safe in the dosing scheme proposed in ALL, but its efficacy over the conventional chemotherapy is still questionable. Blinatumomab has shown promising results in high risk cases such as elder adult patients and conclusive studies on pediatric ALL are needed. Patient inter-individual variability to these agents has not been investigated in depth, but this issue needs to be addressed, in particular for blinatumomab.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28088906?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cozzi, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Borrometi, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benini, Franca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neri, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rusalen, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celentano, Loredana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanon, Davide</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schreiber, Silvana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">First-time success with needle procedures was higher with a warm lidocaine and tetracaine patch than an eutectic mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine cream.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Paediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Paediatr.</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anesthetics, Local</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Catheterization, Peripheral</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hot Temperature</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lidocaine</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lidocaine, Prilocaine Drug Combination</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pain</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phlebotomy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prilocaine</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tetracaine</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017 May</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">106</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">773-778</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AIM: &lt;/b&gt;More than 50% of children report apian during venepuncture or intravenous cannulation and using local anaesthetics before needle procedures can lead to different success rates. This study examined how many needle procedures were successful at the first attempt when children received either a warm lidocaine and tetracaine patch or an eutectic mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine (EMLA) cream.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We conducted this multicentre randomised controlled trial at three tertiary-level children's hospitals in Italy in 2015. Children aged three to 10 years were enrolled in an emergency department, paediatric day hospital and paediatric ward and randomly allocated to receive a warm lidocaine and tetracaine patch or EMLA cream. The primary outcome was the success rate at the first attempt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The analysis included 172 children who received a warm lidocaine and tetracaine patch and 167 who received an EMLA cream. The needle procedure was successful at the first attempt in 158 children (92.4%) who received the warm patch and in 142 children (85.0%) who received the cream (p = 0.03). The pain scores were similar in both groups.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;This study showed that the first-time needle procedure success was 7.4% higher in children receiving a warm lidocaine and tetracaine patch than EMLA cream.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28130888?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cole, Amy M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cox, Sean</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jeong, Choongwon</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Petousi, Nayia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aryal, Dhana R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Droma, Yunden</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hanaoka, Masayuki</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ota, Masao</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kobayashi, Nobumitsu</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montgomery, Hugh</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robbins, Peter</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Rienzo, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cavalleri, Gianpiero L</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic structure in the Sherpa and neighboring Nepalese populations.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC Genomics</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC Genomics</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Asian Continental Ancestry Group</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chromosomes, Human, Y</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA, Mitochondrial</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ethnic Groups</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene Flow</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genotype</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leukocytes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Likelihood Functions</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nepal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Principal Component Analysis</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017 01 19</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">102</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;We set out to describe the fine-scale population structure across the Eastern region of Nepal. To date there is relatively little known about the genetic structure of the Sherpa residing in Nepal and their genetic relationship with the Nepalese. We assembled dense genotype data from a total of 1245 individuals representing Nepal and a variety of different populations resident across the greater Himalayan region including Tibet, China, India, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kirghizstan. We performed analysis of principal components, admixture and homozygosity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;We identified clear substructure across populations resident in the Himalayan arc, with genetic structure broadly mirroring geographical features of the region. Ethnic subgroups within Nepal show distinct genetic structure, on both admixture and principal component analysis. We detected differential proportions of ancestry from northern Himalayan populations across Nepalese subgroups, with the Nepalese Rai, Magar and Tamang carrying the greatest proportions of Tibetan ancestry.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;We show that populations dwelling on the Himalayan plateau have had a clear impact on the Northern Indian gene pool. We illustrate how the Sherpa are a remarkably isolated population, with little gene flow from surrounding Nepalese populations.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default"

We report genetic association of blood pressure (systolic, diastolic, pulse pressure) among UK Biobank participants of European ancestry with independent replication in other cohorts, and robust validation of 107 independent loci. We also identify new independent variants at 11 previously reported blood pressure loci. In combination with results from a range of in silico functional analyses and wet bench experiments, our findings highlight new biological pathways for blood pressure regulation enriched for genes expressed in vascular tissues and identify potential therapeutic targets for hypertension. Results from genetic risk score models raise the possibility of a precision medicine approach through early lifestyle intervention to offset the impact of blood pressure-raising genetic variants on future cardiovascular disease risk.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

Using 1000 Genomes Project-imputed genotype data in up to ∼370,000 women, we identify 389 independent signals (P &lt; 5 × 10) for age at menarche, a milestone in female pubertal development. In Icelandic data, these signals explain ∼7.4% of the population variance in age at menarche, corresponding to ∼25% of the estimated heritability. We implicate ∼250 genes via coding variation or associated expression, demonstrating significant enrichment in neural tissues. Rare variants near the imprinted genes MKRN3 and DLK1 were identified, exhibiting large effects when paternally inherited. Mendelian randomization analyses suggest causal inverse associations, independent of body mass index (BMI), between puberty timing and risks for breast and endometrial cancers in women and prostate cancer in men. In aggregate, our findings highlight the complexity of the genetic regulation of puberty timing and support causal links with cancer susceptibility.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28436984?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">L'Imperio, Vincenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bruno, Irene</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rabach, Ingrid</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Smith, Andrew</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chinello, Clizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stella, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Magni, Fulvio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pagni, Fabio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Histoproteomic Characterization of Localized Cutaneous Amyloidosis in X-Linked Reticulate Pigmentary Disorder.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Skin Pharmacol Physiol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Skin Pharmacol Physiol</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amyloidosis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Diseases, X-Linked</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pigmentation Disorders</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Proteomics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Skin Diseases</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">30</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">90-93</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28376499?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ura, Blendi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scrimin, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Franchin, Cinzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arrigoni, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Licastro, Danilo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Identification of proteins with different abundance associated with cell migration and proliferation in leiomyoma interstitial fluid by proteomics.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oncol Lett</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oncol Lett</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017 May</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3912-3920</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Uterine leiomyoma is the most common female reproductive tract benign tumor. Little is known about protein composition and changes in the leiomyoma interstitial fluid (IF). The present study focused on changes in protein abundance in the IF of leiomyoma. Leiomyoma IFs and adjacent myometrial IFs were obtained and analyzed by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) coupled with mass spectrometry and western blotting for 2-DE data validation. A total of 25 unique proteins were observed to change significantly (P&lt;0.05). Of these proteins with different abundance, 22 had not been previously identified in leiomyoma IF.  analysis predicted that three of these proteins were secreted via classical mechanisms, while 22 were secreted via non-classical mechanisms. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis identified 17 proteins associated with cellular migration and proliferation. Among these, phosphoglycerate mutase 1 had not been previously associated with leiomyoma. The abundance of seven proteins was further validated by western blotting. A comparative proteomic approach identified a number of proteins associated with cellular migration and proliferation, with changes in abundance in IF likely to be involved in tumor development. Further studies will be required to investigate the role of these proteins in leiomyoma IF and their possible association with tumor development and growth.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28521489?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberico, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Erenbourg, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hod, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yogev, Y</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hadar, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neri, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maso, G</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GINEXMAL Group</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Immediate delivery or expectant management in gestational diabetes at term: the GINEXMAL randomised controlled trial.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BJOG</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BJOG</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Delivery, Obstetric</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diabetes, Gestational</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant, Newborn</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Israel</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maternal Mortality</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Perinatal Mortality</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy Outcome</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Slovenia</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Term Birth</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Watchful Waiting</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017 Mar</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">124</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">669-677</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;To evaluate maternal and perinatal outcomes after induction of labour versus expectant management in pregnant women with gestational diabetes at term.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;Multicentre open-label randomised controlled trial.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SETTING: &lt;/b&gt;Eight teaching hospitals in Italy, Slovenia, and Israel.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SAMPLE: &lt;/b&gt;Singleton pregnancy, diagnosed with gestational diabetes by the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups criteria (IADPSGC), between 38 and 39 weeks of gestation, without other maternal or fetal conditions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Patients were randomly assigned to induction of labour or expectant management and intensive follow-up. Data were analysed by 'intention to treat'.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: &lt;/b&gt;The primary outcome was incidence of caesarean section. Secondary outcomes were maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;A total of 425 women were randomised to the study groups. The incidence of caesarean section was 12.6% in the induction group versus 11.7% in the expectant group. No difference was found between the two groups (relative risk, RR 1.06; 95% confidence interval, 95% CI 0.64-1.77; P = 0.81). The incidence of non-spontaneous delivery, either by caesarean section or by operative vaginal delivery, was 21.0 and 22.3%, respectively (RR 0.94; 95% CI 0.66-1.36; P = 0.76). Neither maternal nor fetal deaths occurred. The few cases of shoulder dystocia were solved without any significant birth trauma.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;In women with gestational diabetes, without other maternal or fetal conditions, no difference was detected in birth outcomes regardless of the approach used (i.e. active versus expectant management). Although the study was underpowered, the magnitude of the between-group difference was very small and without clinical relevance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: &lt;/b&gt;Immediate delivery or expectant management in gestational diabetes at term?&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27813240?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fortuna, Claudia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Remoli, Maria Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rizzo, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benedetti, Eleonora</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fiorentini, Cristiano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bella, Antonino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Argentini, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Farchi, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Castilletti, Concetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Capobianchi, Maria Rosaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zammarchi, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bartoloni, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanchetta, Nadia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gismondo, Maria Rita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nelli, Luca Ceccherini</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vitale, Giustina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baldelli, Franco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Agaro, Pierlanfranco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sodano, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rezza, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Venturi, Giulietta</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arbovirus Working Group</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Imported arboviral infections in Italy, July 2014-October 2015: a National Reference Laboratory report.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC Infect Dis</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC Infect.

In areas where potentially competent vectors are present, the risk of autochthonous transmission of these vector-borne pathogens is relatively high. Laboratory surveillance is crucial to rapidly detect imported cases in order to reduce the risk of transmission. This study describes the laboratory activity performed by the National Reference Laboratory for Arboviruses (NRLA) at the Italian National Institute of Health in the period from July 2014 to October 2015.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Samples from 180 patients visited/hospitalized with a suspected DENV/CHIKV/ZIKV infection were sent to the NRLA from several Italian Hospitals and from Regional Reference Laboratories for Arboviruses, in agreement with the National Plan on human surveillance of vector-borne diseases. Both serological (ELISA IgM test and Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test-PRNT) and molecular assays (Real Time PCR tests, RT-PCR plus nested PCR and sequencing of positive samples) were performed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;DENV infection was the most frequently diagnosed (80 confirmed/probable cases), and all four genotypes were detected. However, an increase in imported CHIKV cases (41 confirmed/probable cases) was observed, along with the detection of the first ZIKV cases (4 confirmed cases), as a consequence of the recent spread of both CHIKV and ZIKV in the Americas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Main diagnostic issues highlighted in our study are sensitivity limitations of molecular tests, and the importance of PRNT to confirm serological results for differential diagnosis of Arboviruses. The continuous evaluation of diagnostic strategy, and the implementation of laboratories networks involved in surveillance activities is essential to ensure correct diagnosis, and to improve the preparedness for a rapid and proper identification of viral threats.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal"

treatment of oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis. We aimed to investigate whether oral methotrexate increases the efficacy of intra-articular corticosteroid therapy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We did this prospective, open-label, randomised trial at ten hospitals in Italy. Using a concealed computer-generated list, children younger than 18 years with oligoarticular-onset disease were randomly assigned (1:1) to intra-articular corticosteroids alone or in combination with oral methotrexate (15 mg/m; maximum 20 mg). Corticosteroids used were triamcinolone hexacetonide (shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, and tibiotalar joints) or methylprednisolone acetate (ie, subtalar and tarsal joints). We did not mask patients or investigators to treatment assignments. Our primary outcome was the proportion of patients in the intention-to-treat population who had remission of arthritis in all injected joints at 12 months. This trial is registered with European Union Clinical Trials Register, EudraCT number 2008-006741-70.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;Between July 7, 2009, and March 31, 2013, we screened 226 participants and randomly assigned 102 to intra-articular corticosteroids alone and 105 to intra-articular corticosteroids plus methotrexate. 33 (32%) patients assigned to intra-articular corticosteroids alone and 39 (37%) assigned to intra-articular corticosteroids and methotrexate therapy had remission of arthritis in all injected joints (p=0·48). Adverse events were recorded for 20 (17%) patients who received methotrexate, which led to permanent treatment discontinuation in two patients (one due to increased liver transaminases and one due to gastrointestinal discomfort). No patient had a serious adverse event.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERPRETATION: &lt;/b&gt;Concomitant administration of methotrexate did not augment the effectiveness of intra-articular corticosteroid therapy. Future studies are needed to define the optimal therapeutic strategies for oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FUNDING: &lt;/b&gt;Italian Agency of Drug

genome-wide association methods in patients with classic bladder exstrophy (CBE) found association with ISL1, a master control gene expressed in pericloacal mesenchyme. This study sought to further explore the genetics in a larger set of patients following-up on the most promising genomic regions previously reported. Genotypes of 12 markers obtained from 268 CBE patients of Australian, British, German Italian, Spanish and Swedish origin and 1,354 ethnically matched controls and from 92 CBE case-parent trios from North America were analysed. Only marker rs6874700 at the ISL1 locus showed association (p = 2.22 × 10). A meta-analysis of rs6874700 of our previous and present study showed a p value of 9.2 × 10. Developmental biology models were used to clarify the location of ISL1 activity in the forming urinary tract. Genetic lineage analysis of Isl1-expressing cells by the lineage tracer mouse model showed Isl1-expressing cells in the urinary tract of mouse embryos at E10.5 and distributed in the bladder at E15.5. Expression of isl1 in zebrafish larvae staged 48 hpf was detected in a small region of the developing pronephros. Our study supports ISL1 as a major susceptibility gene for CBE and as a regulator of urinary tract development.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28176844?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tricarico, Paola Maura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Romeo, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gratton, Rossella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celsi, Fulvio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lack of Prenylated Proteins, Autophagy Impairment and Apoptosis in SH-SY5Y Neuronal Cell Model of Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Physiol Biochem</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell.

MKD has heterogeneous clinical phenotypes: the correlation between MVK mutations and MKD clinical phenotype is still to be fully elucidated. Deficiency of prenylated proteins has been hypothesized as possible MKD pathogenic mechanism. Based on this hypothesis and considering that neurologic impairment characterizes Mevalonic Aciduria (MA), the most severe form of MKD, we studied the effects of I268T and N301T MVK mutations on protein prenylation, autophagy and programmed cell death in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell lines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;SH-SY5Y cells were transiently transfected, with the pCMV-6 plasmid containing MVK wild type and the two mutated sequences. Protein prenylation levels were evaluated using GFP-RhoA-F to assess farnesylation, and GFP-RhoA to evaluate geranylgeranylation; autophagy was measured by evaluating LC3 and p62 protein levels, while Annexin V-FITC and Propidium Iodide staining allowed apoptosis detection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;MVK mutants' over-expression causes decreased levels of farnesylation and geranylgeranylation, and also increased LC3 lipidation in SH-SY5Y, with concomitant p62 accumulation. Treatment with bafilomycin A1 (an inhibitor of vacuolar H+-ATPase, a late autophagy inhibitor) further increase LC3-II and p62 levels, suggesting that degradation of autophagolysosome could be impaired. SH-SY5Y, with both MVK mutants, showed apoptosis increase; the presence of N301T associated with augmented cell death.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;We hypothesize that mevalonate pathway impairment causes alteration of farnesylation and geranylgeranylation proteins and alteration of the autophagic flux; these changes can induce apoptosis, possibly more relevant in the presence of N301T mutation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28359055?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zupin, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robino, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Navarra, C O</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pirastu, N</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Lenarda, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bevilacqua, L</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LTF and DEFB1 polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility toward chronic periodontitis development.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oral Dis</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oral Dis</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aged, 80 and over</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">beta-Defensins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Case-Control Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chronic Periodontitis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Predisposition to Disease</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lactoferrin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Young Adult</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017 Oct</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1001-1008</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVES: &lt;/b&gt;Chronic periodontitis is a common pathological condition that affects the supporting tissue of the teeth, leading to progressive alveolar bone destruction and teeth loss. The disease is caused by bacteria and derives from an altered host immune and inflammatory response, also involving different factors such as the oral hygiene, smoking, and genetic background. The innate immune response, the first line of host defense, could also play an important role in the susceptibility to chronic periodontitis. In this study, we evaluated the possible association between periodontal disease and seven genetic variations within DEFB1 and LTF genes, encoding for β-defensins 1 and lactoferrin (two members of oral innate immune system), in an Italian isolated population.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SUBJECTS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;DEFB1 5'UTR g. -52G&gt;A (rs1799946), g. -44C&gt;G (rs1800972), g. -20G&gt;A (rs11362), 3'UTR c*5G&gt;A (rs1047031), c*87A&gt;G (rs1800971), LTF p.Ala29Thr (rs1126477), and p.Lys47Arg (rs1126478) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were analyzed in 155 healthy individuals and 439 chronic periodontitis patients from North-East Italy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Significant associations were found between periodontitis and g. -20G&gt;A (rs11362) and g. -44C&gt;G (rs1800972) SNPs in DEFB1 gene as well as p.Ala29Thr (rs1126477) and p.Lys47Arg (rs1126478) SNPs in LTF gene.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DISCUSSION: &lt;/b&gt;Our results suggest the involvement of DEFB1 and LTF genetic variations in the susceptibility toward development of periodontitis.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28485077?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Desai, Swapna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wood-Trageser, Michelle</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Matic, Jelena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chipkin, Jaqueline</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jiang, Huaiyang</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bachelot, Anne</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dulon, Jerome</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sala, Cinzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbieri, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cocca, Massimiliano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toniolo, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Touraine, Philippe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Witchel, Selma</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rajkovic, Aleksandar</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MCM8 and MCM9 Nucleotide Variants in Women With Primary Ovarian Insufficiency.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Clin Endocrinol Metab</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Three of 155 (2%) participants carried possibly damaging heterozygous variants in MCM8, whereas 7 of 151 (5%) individuals carried possibly damaging heterozygous variants in MCM9. One participant carried a novel homozygous variant, c.1651C&gt;T, p.Gln551*, in MCM9, which is predicted to introduce a premature stop codon in exon 9. Biallelic damaging heterozygous variants in both MCM8 and MCM9 were identified in 1 participant. Of a total of 10 participants carrying damaging heterozygous variants in either MCM8 or MCM9, 2 individuals carried heterozygous damaging variants in genes associated with either MCM8 or MCM9 or the DDR pathway.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/b&gt;We identified a significant number of potentially damaging and novel variants in MCM8 and MCM9 among participants with POI and examined

Patients deemed ineligible due to lack or delay of MYCN status or late registration were treated, but not included in the study. Our goal was to analyse survival at 10 years among the whole population.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MATERIALS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Italian and Spanish metastatic INES patients' data are reported. SPSS 20.0 was used for statistical analysis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Among 98 infants, 27 had events and 19 died, while 79 were disease free. Five- and 10-year event-free survival (EFS) were 73 and 70 %, and overall survival (OS) was 81 and 74 %, respectively. MYCN status was significant for EFS, but not for OS in multivariate analysis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The survival rates of patients who complied with all the inclusion criteria for INES trials are higher compared to those that included also not registered patients. Five-year EFS and OS for INES 99.2 were 87.8 and 95.7 %, while our stage 4s population obtained 78 and 87 %. Concerning 99.3, 5-year EFS and OS were 86.7 and 95.6 %, while for stage 4 we registered 61 and 68 %. MYCN amplification had a strong impact on prognosis and therefore we consider it unacceptable that many patients were not studied for MYCN and probably inadequately treated. Ten-year survival rates were shown to decrease: EFS from 73 to 70 % and OS from 81 to 74 %, indicating a risk of late events, particularly in stage 4s. Population-based registries like European ENCCA WP 11-task 11 will possibly clarify these data.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27041689?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stocco, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelossi, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arrigo, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barabino, Arrigo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aloi, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martinelli, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miele, Erasmo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Knafelz, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Romano, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Naviglio, Samuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Favretto, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cuzzoni, Eva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Franca, Raffaella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decorti, Giuliana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Multicentric Case-Control Study on Azathioprine Dose and Pharmacokinetics in Early-onset Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inflamm Bowel Dis</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inflamm.

Despite the introduction of highly effective biological drugs, treatment with azathioprine continues to be important even for early-onset IBD; however, in these patients azathioprine response seems to be reduced. This study evaluated azathioprine doses, metabolite concentrations, and their associations with patients' age in children with IBD treated at 6 tertiary pediatric referral centers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Azathioprine doses, metabolites, and clinical effects were assessed after at least 3 months of therapy in 17 early-onset (age &lt; 6 yr, cases) and 51 nonearly-onset (aged &gt; 12 and &lt;18 yrs, controls) patients with IBD. Azathioprine dose was titrated on therapeutic efficacy (response and adverse effects). Azathioprine metabolites and thiopurine methyltransferase activity were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with ultra violet-vis detection (HPLC-UV) methods.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Frequency of patients in remission was similar among early-onset and control groups, respectively (82% and 84%, P value = 0.72). Early-onset patients required higher doses of azathioprine (median 2.7 versus 2.0 mg·kg·d, P value = 1.1 × 10). Different doses resulted in comparable azathioprine active thioguanine nucleotide metabolite concentrations (median 263 versus 366 pmol/8 × 10 erythrocytes, P value = 0.41) and methylmercaptopurine nucleotide concentrations (median 1455 versus 1532 pmol/8 × 10 erythrocytes, P value = 0.60). Lower ratios between thioguanine nucleotide metabolites and azathioprine doses were found in early-onset patients (median 98 versus 184 pmol/8 × 10 erythrocytes·mg·kg·d, P value = 0.017). Interestingly, early-onset patients presented also higher thiopurine methyltransferase activity (median 476 versus 350 nmol methylmercaptopurine/mg hemoglobin/h, P-value = 0.046).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;This study demonstrated that patients with early-onset IBD present increased inactivating azathioprine metabolism, likely because of elevated activity of the enzyme thiopurine methyltransferase.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28296824?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Manara, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Agata, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rocco, M C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cusmai, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Freri, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pinelli, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Darra, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Procopio, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mardari, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanus, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Rosa, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soddu, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Severino, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ermani, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Longo, D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sartori, S</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Menkes Working Group in the Italian Neuroimaging Network for Rare Diseases</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neuroimaging Changes in Menkes Disease, Part 1.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AJNR Am J Neuroradiol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AJNR Am J Neuroradiol</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brain</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Disease Progression</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Magnetic Resonance Imaging</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Menkes Kinky Hair Syndrome</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neuroimaging</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retrospective Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">White Matter</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017 Oct</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">38</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1850-1857</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Menkes disease is a rare multisystem X-linked disorder of copper metabolism. Despite an early, severe, and progressive neurologic involvement, our knowledge of brain involvement remains unsatisfactory. The first part of this retrospective and review MR imaging study aims to define the frequency rate, timing, imaging features, and evolution of intracranial vascular and white matter changes. According to our analysis, striking but also poorly evolutive vascular abnormalities characterize the very early phases of disease. After the first months, myelination delay becomes evident, often in association with protean focal white matter lesions, some of which reveal an age-specific brain vulnerability. In later phases of the disease, concomitant progressive neurodegeneration might hinder the myelination progression. The currently enriched knowledge of neuroradiologic finding evolution provides valuable clues for early diagnosis, identifies possible MR imaging biomarkers of new treatment efficacy, and improves our comprehension of possible mechanisms of brain injury in Menkes disease.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></issue><custom1><style

Genetic variation influencing blood pressure has the potential to identify new pharmacological targets for the treatment of hypertension. To discover additional novel blood pressure loci, we used 1000 Genomes Project-based imputation in 150 134 European ancestry individuals and sought significant evidence for independent replication in a further 228 245 individuals. We report 6 new signals of association in or near , , , , , and , and provide new replication evidence for a further 2 signals in  and  Combining large whole-blood gene expression resources totaling 12 607 individuals, we investigated all novel and previously reported signals and identified 48 genes with evidence for involvement in blood pressure regulation that are significant in multiple resources. Three novel kidney-specific signals were also detected.

Some authors have reported a high prevalence of asymptomatic uveitis, yet the significance of these observations is unknown and there are no recommendations on which ophthalmologic follow-up should be offered.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Children with IBD seen at a single referral center for pediatric gastroenterology were offered ophthalmologic evaluation as part of routine care for their disease. Ophthalmologic evaluation included review of ocular history as well as slit-lamp and fundoscopic examination. Medical records were also reviewed for previous ophthalmologic diagnoses or complaints.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Data from 94 children were included (52 boys; median age 13.4 yr). Forty-six patients had a diagnosis of Crohn's disease, 46 ulcerative colitis, and 2 IBD unclassified. Intestinal disease was in clinical remission in 70% of the patients; fecal calprotectin was elevated in 64%. One patient with Crohn's disease had a previous diagnosis of clinically manifest uveitis (overall uveitis prevalence: 1.06%; incidence rate: 0.3 per 100 patient-years). This patient was also the only one who was found to have asymptomatic uveitis at slit-lamp examination. A second patient had posterior subcapsular cataract associated with corticosteroid treatment. No signs of intraocular complications from previous unrecognized uveitis were observed in any patient.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Children with IBD may have asymptomatic uveitis, yet its prevalence seems lower than previously reported, and it was not found in children without a previous diagnosis of clinically manifest uveitis. No ocular complications from prior unrecognized uveitis were observed.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28328621?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ruggiero, Barbara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vivarelli, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gianviti, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecoraro, Carmine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peruzzi, Licia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benetti, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pennesi, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Murer, Luisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coppo, Rosanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Emma, Francesco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Outcome of childhood-onset full-house nephropathy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nephrol Dial Transplant</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nephrol.

Some have been reported to develop a delayed SLE with time. The clinical outcome of children having FHN without SLE has never been reported.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Methods: &lt;/b&gt;Children with biopsy-proven FHN were selected after excluding SLE cases by the absence of America College of Rheumatology criteria. The proportion of patients with complete (proteinuria &lt;0.5 g/day) or partial remission (proteinuria ≤50% from baseline), relapse (estimated glomerular filtration rate &lt;25% and/or proteinuria ≥50% from baseline) and progression to Stage III chronic kidney disease (CKD) was described according to age and gender groups with the Kaplan-Meier curve and compared with the Log-rank test. Entity of treatment was summarized by a score at induction (0-6 months) and maintenance (6-18 months). Cox-regression model was performed to test predictors of remission, relapse and progression to CKD.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Results: &lt;/b&gt;Among 42 patients (28 pre-pubertal) who met the inclusion criteria, 39 (92.9%) achieved partial and 32 (76.2%) complete remission of nephropathy over 2.78 and 7.51 months of follow-up. At 10 years, the probability of progressing to CKD was 4.8%. Of those achieving remission, 18% had a renal flare mainly within 4 years after remission. Pre-pubertal males achieved complete remission more frequently than other patients but often relapsed; pre-pubertal females were treated more aggressively. Cox-regression analysis did not find independent predictors of remission or relapse.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/b&gt;The outcome of the patients with FHN we investigated was encouraging. Recurrences are limited to the first 4 years following diagnosis, allowing progressive withdrawal of immunosuppression in patients achieving remission. Evaluation of risk factors for adverse outcome is necessary especially in pre-pubertal children.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27270291?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Romano, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oliva, Salvatore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martellossi, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miele, Erasmo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arrigo, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Graziani, Maria Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cardile, Sabrina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gaiani, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de'Angelis, Gian Luigi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Torroni, Filippo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatric gastrointestinal bleeding: Perspectives from the Italian Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">World J Gastroenterol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">World J.

Causes vary with age, but show considerable overlap; moreover, while many of the causes in the pediatric population are similar to those in adults, some lesions are unique to children. The diagnostic approach for pediatric GIB includes definition of the etiology, localization of the bleeding site and determination of the severity of bleeding; timely and accurate diagnosis is necessary to reduce morbidity and mortality. To assist medical care providers in the evaluation and management of children with GIB, the &quot;Gastro-Ped Bleed Team&quot; of the Italian Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (SIGENP) carried out a systematic search on MEDLINE  PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/) to identify all articles published in English from January 1990 to 2016; the following key words were used to conduct the electronic search: &quot;upper GIB&quot; and &quot;pediatric&quot; [all fields]; &quot;lower GIB&quot; and &quot;pediatric&quot; [all fields]; &quot;obscure GIB&quot; and &quot;pediatric&quot; [all fields]; &quot;GIB&quot; and &quot;endoscopy&quot; [all fields]; &quot;GIB&quot; and &quot;therapy&quot; [all fields]. The identified publications included articles describing randomized controlled trials, reviews, case reports, cohort studies, case-control studies and observational studies. References from the pertinent articles were also reviewed. This paper expresses a position statement of SIGENP that can have an immediate impact on clinical practice and for which sufficient evidence is not available in literature. The experts participating in this effort were selected according to their expertise and professional qualifications.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default"

OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;To report results of a retrospective multicentric Italian survey concerning the management of pediatric ovarian torsion (OT) and its recurrence.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;Multicenter retrospective cohort study.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SETTING: &lt;/b&gt;Italian Units of Pediatric Surgery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PARTICIPANTS: &lt;/b&gt;Participants were female aged 1-14 years of age with surgically diagnosed OT between 2004 and 2014.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERVENTIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Adnexal detorsion, adnexectomy, mass excision using laparoscopy or laparotomy. Different kinds of oophoropexy (OPY) for OT or recurrence, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: &lt;/b&gt;A total of 124 questionnaires were returned and analyzed to understand the current management of pediatric OT and its recurrence. The questionnaires concerned patient age, presence of menarche, OT site, presence and type of mass, performed procedure, OPY technique adopted, intra- and postoperative complications, recurrence and site, procedure performed for recurrence, OPY technique for recurrence, and 1 year follow-up of detorsed ovaries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Mean age at surgery was 9.79 ± 3.54 years. Performed procedures were open adnexectomy (52 of 125; 41.6%), laparoscopic adnexectomy (25 of 125; 20%), open detorsion (10 of 125; 8%), and laparoscopic detorsion (38 of 125; 30.4%). Recurrence occurred in 15 of 125 cases (12%) and resulted as significant (P = .012) if associated with a normal ovary at the first episode of torsion. Recurrence occurred only in 1 of 19 cases after OPY (5.2%). Ultrasonographic results of detorsed ovaries were not significant whether an OPY was performed or not (P = 1.00).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Unfortunately, oophorectomy and open technique are still widely adopted even if not advised. Recurrence is not rare and the risk is greater in patients without ovarian masses. OPY does not adversely affect ultrasonographic results at 1 year. When possible OPY should be performed at the first episode of OT.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27894860?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Floridia, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Masuelli, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tamburrini, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cetin, I</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Liuzzi, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martinelli, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guaraldi, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spinillo, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vimercati, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maso, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pinnetti, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Frisina, V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dalzero, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ravizza, M</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnant with HIV before age 25: data from a large national study in Italy, 2001-2016.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epidemiol Infect</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epidemiol.

In a large cohort of pregnant women with HIV in Italy, among 2979 pregnancies followed in 2001-2016, 9·0% were in women &lt;25 years, with a significant increase over time (2001-2005: 7·0%; 2006-2010: 9·1%; 2011-2016: 12·2%, P &lt; 0·001). Younger women had a lower rate of planned pregnancy (23·2% vs. 37·7%, odds ratio (OR) 0·50, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0·36-0·69), were more frequently diagnosed with HIV in pregnancy (46·5% vs. 20·9%, OR 3·29, 95% CI 2·54-4·25), and, if already diagnosed with HIV before pregnancy, were less frequently on antiretroviral treatment at conception (&lt;25 years: 56·3%; ⩾25 years: 69·0%, OR 0·58, 95% CI 0·41-0·81). During pregnancy, treatment coverage was almost universal in both age groups (98·5% vs. 99·3%), with no differences in rate of HIV viral suppression at third trimester and adverse pregnancy outcomes. The data show that young women represent a growing proportion of pregnant women with HIV, and are significantly more likely to have unplanned pregnancy, undiagnosed HIV infection, and lower treatment coverage at conception. During pregnancy, antiretroviral treatment, HIV suppression, and pregnancy outcomes are similar compared with older women. Earlier intervention strategies may provide additional benefits in the quality of care for women with HIV.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28712385?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fanfani, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Restaino, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cicogna, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Petrillo, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montico, Marcella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Perrone, Emanuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radillo, Oriano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Leo, Rossella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ceccarello, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scambia, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Preoperative Serum Human Epididymis Protein 4 Levels in Early Stage Endometrial Cancer: A Prospective Study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Gynecol Cancer</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int.

We enrolled 153 patients diagnosed with clinical early (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stages I-II) type I endometrial cancer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Human epididymis protein 4 levels seemed to be strictly related to age (P &lt; 0.001) and menopausal status (P &lt; 0.002). Compared with myometrial invasion (MI), the HE4 values were significantly higher in case of invasion of greater than 50% of the thickness: MI of greater than 50%, median of 94.85 pmol/L (38.3-820.8 pmol/L), versus MI of less than 50%, median of 65.65 pmol/L (25.1-360.2 pmol/L), (P &lt; 0.001). The HE4 levels increase significantly with increasing tumor size: diameter of larger than 2 cm, median of 86.9 pmol/L (35.8-820.8 pmol/L), versus diameter of smaller than 2 cm, median of 52.2 pmol/L (33.3-146.8 pmol/L), (P &lt; 0.001). In our population, HE4 did not correlate with the histological grade, endometrial cancer type I versus type II (P = 0.86), the lymphovascular infiltration (P = 0.12), and the cervical invasion (P = 0.6). We established a new variable, considering 3 high-risk tumor features: MI of greater than 50% and/or histological G3 and/or type II. Human epididymis protein 4 levels significantly increase in high-risk tumors (high risk HE4, 93.6 pmol/L vs low-medium risk, 65.5 pmol/L; P &lt; 0.001).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;A preoperative HE4 evaluation could help stratify patients with deep invasion and/or metastatic disease and is correlated with other relevant prognostic factors to be considered to tailor an adequate surgical strategy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28557834?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Castagnetti, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bagnara, Vincenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rigamonti, Waifro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cimador, Marcello</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Esposito, Ciro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Preputial reconstruction in hypospadias repair.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Pediatr Urol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Pediatr Urol</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017 Feb</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">102-109</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;In principle, the prepuce can be reconstructed during hypospadias repair, but the procedure has not gained wide acceptance and preputial reconstruction (PR) is surrounded by several controversies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MATERIAL AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A review is provided of the technique for PR, how PR combines with the other steps of hypospadias repair, the risks of complications related to the urethroplasty and specific to PR, and the results of PR with particular regard to the relevance for the patient and his family.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;PR can be important for patients requiring hypospadias repair and their parents. It can be performed in almost all patients with distal hypospadias except perhaps those with the most asymmetrical prepuces or severe ventral skin deficiency. PR does not seem to increase urethroplasty complications, but combination of PR with tubularisation of the urethral plate urethroplasty seems to offer the best chance of success. Specific complications occur in around 8% of patients and include partial or complete dehiscence of the prepuce and secondary phimosis. To prevent the latter, the reconstructed prepuce should be easily retractile at the end of surgery. Technical modifications can help to achieve this goal. Cosmetically, reconstructed prepuces are not fully normal, but the abnormality could be less important for a patient and his parents that the complete absence of the prepuce.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;On the basis of the evidence summarised above, an algorithm for PR in patients with distal hypospadias is proposed. PR can be offered to the vast majority of distal hypospadias patients, although some modification of the technique for hypospadias repair can be required. Retractility of the reconstructed prepuce at the end of surgery seems paramount for final success.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27773620?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rizzardi, Clara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Athanasakis, Emmanouil</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cammisuli, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monego, Simeone Dal</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DE Spelorzi, Yeraldin Chiquinquira Castillo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Costantinides, Fulvio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giudici, Fabiola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pinamonti, Maurizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Canzonieri, Vincenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Melato, Mauro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pascolo, Lorella</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Puzzling Results from  Germline Mutations Analysis in a Group of Asbestos-Exposed Patients in a High-risk Area of Northeast Italy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anticancer Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anticancer Res.</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aged, 80 and over</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Asbestos</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Environmental Exposure</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Germ-Line Mutation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lung Neoplasms</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mesothelioma</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tumor Suppressor Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ubiquitin Thiolesterase</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017 06</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">37</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3073-3083</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Germline mutations of the oncosuppressor gene breast cancer 1-associated protein 1 (BAP1) were recently related to an autosomal-dominant tumor predisposition syndrome (BAP1-TPDS), characterized by uveal melanoma, malignant mesothelioma (MM), cutaneous melanoma, and other malignancies. The demonstration that BAP1 mutations are strongly associated with MM has provided a real breakthrough in the study of genetic predisposition in MM, that may explain why only a fraction of asbestos-exposed individuals go on to develop MM.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MATERIALS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;To evaluate the possible role of BAP1 mutations in the epidemiology of sporadic MM, and their relationship with asbestos exposure, we determined the prevalence of germline BAP1 mutations by the Sanger method in a group of 29 asbestos-exposed patients, 21 of which were diagnosed with MM. They were residents of Trieste, a ship-building town in Northeast Italy with a very high incidence of mesothelioma.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;We identified non-obviously pathogenetic germline sequence variants of BAP1 in 3/29 patients and in 2/21 MM cases (10%).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Non obviously pathogenic germline sequence variants of BAP1 were found. Nevertheless, limitations of predictive web tools allowed us to comment on some interesting peculiarities of our findings.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28551647?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Grazia, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pellizzoni, Sandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tonegatti, Luca Giacomo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rigamonti, Waifro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Qualitative questionnaire on the psychosocial wellbeing of mothers of children with BEEC.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Pediatr Urol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Pediatr Urol</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adaptation, Psychological</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bladder Exstrophy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epispadias</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Long-Term Care</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mother-Child Relations</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mothers</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Qualitative Research</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality of Life</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stress, Psychological</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Surveys and Questionnaires</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Treatment Outcome</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017 Feb</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">55.e1-55.e6</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTRODUCTION: &lt;/b&gt;The bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex (BEEC) represents a spectrum of malformations that affect the anatomical and functional structure of the urogenital system. The parents of patients affected by this condition are subject to particularly stressful situations, such as worrying about their child's health, long hospital stays, concerns about the health and constant need for personal care for their children, that can profoundly compromise the quality of family life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;The objective of this explorative qualitative study is to evaluate the social situation and the psychological strategies implemented by the mothers of children between 6 and 10 years of age who are affected by BEEC.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;STUDY DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;Fourteen mothers of children aged 6-10 years and affected by BEEC (9 boys and 5 girls) were interviewed. Data on the mothers' experiences were collected through semi-structured interviews (Table).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The qualitative analysis of the interviews showed that participants described experiences that were characterised by emotions such as fear and anger. Each mother had implemented a different and, sometimes, dysfunctional strategy in order to cope with the complex situation of the son/daughter. The aspects that most clearly emerged from mothers' descriptions were (1) the traumatic situation at the birth of the baby, (2) the sense of embarrassment concerning the pathological condition as the child was growing and the consequent sense of isolation of the mother, and (3) the fluctuation of feelings towards the multidisciplinary staff, which was sometimes seen as an important source of help and some other times as too destabilising and not helpful at all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DISCUSSION: &lt;/b&gt;The study provided some insight into the psychological and social conditions experienced by mothers of children with BEEC, which could serve as a basis for developing multidisciplinary teams with greater awareness about families living with this condition and better timing in addressing their needs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Mothers of children with BEEC show emotional and social difficulties. This is a crucial aspect to consider when planning a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment/therapy, especially considering that children examined in this study are approaching adolescence.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

variants identified through genome-wide association studies so far. Here, we report 83 height-associated coding variants with lower minor-allele frequencies (in the range of 0.1-4.8%) and effects of up to 2 centimetres per allele (such as those in IHH, STC2, AR and CRISPLD2), greater than ten times the average effect of common variants. In functional follow-up studies, rare height-increasing alleles of STC2 (giving an increase of 1-2 centimetres per allele) compromised proteolytic inhibition of PAPP-A and increased cleavage of IGFBP-4 in vitro, resulting in higher bioavailability of insulin-like growth factors. These 83 height-associated variants overlap genes that are mutated in monogenic growth disorders and highlight new biological candidates (such as ADAMTS3, IL11RA and NOX4) and pathways (such as proteoglycan and glycosaminoglycan synthesis) involved in growth. Our results demonstrate that sufficiently large sample sizes can uncover rare and low-frequency variants of moderate-to-large effect associated with polygenic human phenotypes, and that these variants implicate relevant genes and pathways.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7640</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28146470?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Floridia, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tamburrini, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Masuelli, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martinelli, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spinillo, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Liuzzi, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vimercati, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberico, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maccabruni, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pinnetti, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Frisina, V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dalzero, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ravizza, M</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italian Group for Surveillance of Antiretroviral Treatment in Pregnancy</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rate, correlates and outcomes of repeat pregnancy in HIV-infected women.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">HIV Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">HIV Med.</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anti-HIV Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CD4 Lymphocyte Count</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Emigrants and Immigrants</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">HIV Infections</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">HIV-1</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant, Low Birth Weight</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Premature Birth</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Viral Load</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017 07</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">440-443</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVES: &lt;/b&gt;The aim of the study was to assess the rate, determinants, and outcomes of repeat pregnancies in women with HIV infection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Data from a national study of pregnant women with HIV infection were used. Main outcomes were preterm delivery, low birth weight, CD4 cell count and HIV plasma viral load.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The rate of repeat pregnancy among 3007 women was 16.2%. Women with a repeat pregnancy were on average younger than those with a single pregnancy (median age 30 vs. 33 years, respectively), more recently diagnosed with HIV infection (median time since diagnosis 25 vs. 51 months, respectively), and more frequently of foreign origin [odds ratio (OR) 1.36; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.10-1.68], diagnosed with HIV infection in the current pregnancy (OR: 1.69; 95% CI: 1.35-2.11), and at their first pregnancy (OR: 1.33; 95% CI: 1.06-1.66). In women with sequential pregnancies, compared with the first pregnancy, several outcomes showed a significant improvement in the second pregnancy, with a higher rate of antiretroviral treatment at conception (39.0 vs. 65.4%, respectively), better median maternal weight at the start of pregnancy (60 vs. 61 kg, respectively), a higher rate of end-of-pregnancy undetectable HIV RNA (60.7 vs. 71.6%, respectively), a higher median birth weight (2815 vs. 2885 g, respectively), lower rates of preterm delivery (23.0 vs. 17.7%, respectively) and of low birth weight (23.4 vs. 15.4%, respectively), and a higher median CD4 cell count (+47 cells/μL), with almost no clinical progression to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stage C (CDC-C) HIV disease (0.3%). The second pregnancy was significantly more likely to end in voluntary termination than the first pregnancy (11.4 vs. 6.1%, respectively).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Younger and foreign women were more likely to have a repeat pregnancy; in women with sequential pregnancies, the second pregnancy was characterized by a significant improvement in several outcomes, suggesting that women with HIV infection who desire multiple children may proceed safely and confidently with subsequent pregnancies.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28000379?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cesaro, Simone</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tridello, Gloria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Castagnola, Elio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calore, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carraro, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mariotti, Ilaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Colombini, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Perruccio, Katia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decembrino, Nunzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Russo, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maximova, Natalia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baretta, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caselli, Désirée</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retrospective study on the incidence and outcome of proven and probable invasive fungal infections in high-risk pediatric onco-hematological patients.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur J Haematol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur.

The 1-year cumulative incidence was 2.5% (CI 1.8-3.7) after frontline chemotherapy, 9.4% (CI 5.8-15.0) after relapse, and 5.3% (CI 3.9-7.1) after HSCT. Severe neutropenia was present in 98 (77%) patients. Culture-proven agents were Candida spp., mostly non-albicans, 28, mold 23, whereas three proven IFI were identified by histopathology. Favorable response to treatment within 3 months from diagnosis was observed in 77 (89%). The overall ninety-day probability of survival was 68% (CI 59-76).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;About two-thirds of pediatric patients with PP-IFI survived, regardless of whether the infection occurred after frontline chemotherapy, reinduction chemotherapy for disease relapse, or after HSCT. Further prospective studies are needed to define the impact of antifungal prophylaxis and early combination therapy on short-term overall survival.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28556426?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campisciano, Giuseppina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Florian, Fiorella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Eustacchio, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stanković, David</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Seta, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comar, Manola</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Subclinical alteration of the cervical-vaginal microbiome in women with idiopathic infertility.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Cell Physiol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Recent studies, addressing the vaginal microbiome using next generation sequencing (NGS), reported the involvement of bacterial species in infertility. We compared the vaginal microbiome of idiopathic infertile women with that of healthy, including bacterial vaginosis affected women and non-idiopathic infertile women, to identify bacterial species suitable as biomarkers. Information on microorganisms was obtained from the V3-16S rDNA sequencing of cervical-vaginal fluids of 96 women using the Ion Torrent platform. Data were processed with QIIME and classified against the Vaginal 16S rDNA Reference Database. The analysis revealed a significant beta-diversity variation (p &lt; 0.001) between the four groups included in the study. L. iners, L. crispatus, and L. gasseri distinguished idiopathic infertile women from the other groups. In these women, a microbial profile similar to that observed in bacterial vaginosis women has been detected. Our results suggest that the quantitative assessment and identification of specific microorganisms of the cervical-vaginal microflora could increase the accuracy of available tools for the diagnosis of infertility and improve the adoption of therapeutic protocols.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28098358?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Simeone, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giacomello, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bruno, Germano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parco, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maximova, Natalia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martinelli, Monica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zito, Gabriella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Luppi, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cervi, Gina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thrombogenesis in Thrombophilic Pregnancy: Evaluation of Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin Prophylaxis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Haematol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Haematol.</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anticoagulants</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Case-Control Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Factor Xa Inhibitors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heparin, Low-Molecular-Weight</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nadroparin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Partial Thromboplastin Time</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peptide Fragments</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pilot Projects</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy Complications, Hematologic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prothrombin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thrombophilia</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thrombosis</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">137</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">201-206</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The aim of this study is to investigate thrombogenesis and the hypercoagulable changes in pregnant women affected by thrombophilia who received low-molecular-weight heparin (LWMH) prophylaxis. We included 21 pregnant women affected by thrombophilia treated with LWMH and 20 nontreated normal pregnant women as the control group. The sample group of thrombophilic pregnant women included different conditions (factor V Leiden mutation, protein C deficiency, protein S deficiency, antiphospholipid antibodies syndrome, and combined defects). Three blood samples were collected during pregnancy (i.e., at 16, 20, and 24 weeks) and tested for activated partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin fragment F1 + 2 (F1 + 2); anti-FXa activity was tested only in treated thrombophilic pregnant women. F1 + 2 levels progressively increased during pregnancy in both study groups. However, the F1 + 2 increase in women exposed to heparin prophylaxis was significantly lower than that in normal pregnant women in all 3 measurements carried out during gestation (p &lt; 0.05); a statistically significant inverse correlation between F1 + 2 levels and anti-Xa activity (R = -0.8575, p &lt; 0.05) was observed in treated women during pregnancy. Our findings suggest that F1 + 2 in addition to anti-Xa measurement could be used to adjust LWMH prophylaxis, at least in high-risk pregnant women.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style

We applied a hybrid whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and deep imputation approach to examine the broader allelic architecture of 12 anthropometric traits associated with height, body mass, and fat distribution in up to 267,616 individuals. We report 106 genome-wide significant signals that have not been previously identified, including 9 low-frequency variants pointing to functional candidates. Of the 106 signals, 6 are in genomic regions that have not been implicated with related traits before, 28 are independent signals at previously reported regions, and 72 represent previously reported signals for a different anthropometric trait. 71% of signals reside within genes and fine mapping resolves 23 signals to one or two likely causal variants. We confirm genetic overlap between human monogenic and polygenic anthropometric traits and find signal enrichment in cis expression QTLs in relevant tissues. Our results highlight the potential of WGS strategies to enhance biologically relevant discoveries across the frequency spectrum.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28552196?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amigoni, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mondardini, Maria Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vittadello, Ilaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zaglia, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rossetti, Emanuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vitale, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrario, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savron, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coffaro, Giancarlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brugnaro, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amato, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wolfler, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Franck, Linda S</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Network of Paediatric Intensive Care Unit Study Group (TIPNet)</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Withdrawal Assessment Tool-1 Monitoring in PICU: A Multicenter Study on Iatrogenic Withdrawal Syndrome.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Crit Care Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Crit Care Med</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Analgesics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Critical Care</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hypnotics and Sedatives</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iatrogenic Disease</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant, Newborn</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Intensive Care Units, Pediatric</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Logistic Models</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prospective Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Respiration, Artificial</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Substance Withdrawal Syndrome</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017 02</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e86-e91</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVES: &lt;/b&gt;Withdrawal syndrome is an adverse reaction of analgesic and sedative therapy, with a reported occurrence rate between 17% and 57% in critically ill children. Although some factors related to the development of withdrawal syndrome have been identified, there is weak evidence for the effectiveness of preventive and therapeutic strategies. The main aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of withdrawal syndrome in Italian PICUs, using a validated instrument. We also analyzed differences in patient characteristics, analgesic and sedative treatment, and patients' outcome between patients with and without withdrawal syndrome.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;Observational multicenter prospective study.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SETTING: &lt;/b&gt;Eight Italian PICUs belonging to the national PICU network Italian PICU network.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PATIENTS: &lt;/b&gt;One hundred thirteen patients, less than 18 years old, mechanically ventilated and treated with analgesic and sedative therapy for five or more days. They were admitted in PICU from November 2012 to May 2014.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERVENTIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Symptoms of withdrawal syndrome were monitored with Withdrawal Assessment Tool-1 scale.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The occurrence rate of withdrawal syndrome was 64.6%. The following variables were significantly different between the patients who developed withdrawal syndrome and those who did not: type, duration, and cumulative dose of analgesic therapy; duration and cumulative dose of sedative therapy; clinical team judgment about analgesia and sedation's difficulty; and duration of analgesic weaning, mechanical ventilation, and PICU stay. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that patients receiving morphine as their primary analgesic were 83% less likely to develop withdrawal syndrome than those receiving fentanyl or remifentanil.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Withdrawal syndrome was frequent in PICU patients, and patients with withdrawal syndrome had prolonged hospital treatment. We suggest adopting the lowest effective dose of analgesic and sedative drugs and frequent reevaluation of the need for continued use. Further studies are necessary to define common preventive and therapeutic strategies.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28157809?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ura, Blendi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scrimin, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arrigoni, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Athanasakis, Emmanouil</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aloisio, Michelangelo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Abnormal expression of leiomyoma cytoskeletal proteins involved in cell migration.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oncol Rep</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oncol.

Several factors are involved in the neoplastic transformation of the myometrium. In our study we focused on dysregulated cytoskeletal proteins in the leiomyoma as compared to the myometrium. Paired tissue samples of ten leiomyomas and adjacent myometria were obtained and analyzed by two‑dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). Mass spectrometry was used for protein identification, and western blotting for 2-DE data validation. The values of ten cytoskeletal proteins were found to be significantly different: eight proteins were upregulated in the leiomyoma and two proteins were downregulated. Three of the upregulated proteins (myosin regulatory light polypeptide 9, four and a half LIM domains protein 1 and LIM and SH3 domain protein 1) are involved in cell migration, while downregulated protein transgelin is involved in replicative senescence. Myosin regulatory light polypeptide 9 (MYL9) was further validated by western blotting because it is considered to be a cell migration marker in several cancers and could play a key role in leiomyoma development. Our data demonstrate significant alterations in the expression of cytoskeletal proteins involved in leiomyoma growth. A better understanding of the involvement of cytoskeletal proteins in leiomyoma pathogenesis may contribute to the identification of new therapeutic targets and the development of new pharmacological approaches.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26986808?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marin, Veronica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rosso, Natalia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dal Ben, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Raseni, Alan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boschelle, Manuela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Degrassi, Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nemeckova, Ivana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nachtigal, Petr</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Avellini, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tiribelli, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gazzin, Silvia</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">An Animal Model for the Juvenile Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PLoS One</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PLoS ONE</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e0158817</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) are the hepatic manifestations of the metabolic syndrome; worrisome is the booming increase in pediatric age. To recreate the full spectrum of juvenile liver pathology and investigate the gender impact, male and female C57Bl/6 mice were fed with high fat diet plus fructose in the drinking water (HFHC) immediately after weaning (equal to 3-years old human), and disease progression followed for 16 weeks, until adults (equal to 30-years old human). 100% of subjects of both genders on HFHC diet developed steatosis in 4weeks, and some degree of fibrosis in 8weeks, with the 86% of males and 15% of females presenting a stage 2 fibrosis at 16weeks. Despite a similar final liver damage both groups, a sex difference in the pathology progression was observed. Alterations in glucose homeostasis, dyslipidemia, hepatomegaly and obese phenotype were evident from the very beginning in males with an increased hepatic inflammatory activity. Conversely, such alterations were present in females only at the end of the HFHC diet (with the exception of insulin resistance and the hepatic inflammatory state). Interestingly, only females showed an altered hepatic redox state. This juvenile model appears a good platform to unravel the underlying gender dependent mechanisms in the progression from NAFLD to NASH, and to characterize novel therapeutic approaches.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27391242?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carbone, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Satta, Nathalie</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montecucco, Fabrizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Virzi, Julien</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Burger, Fabienne</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Roth, Aline</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Roversi, Gloria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tamborino, Carmine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Casetta, Ilaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seraceni, Silva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trentini, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Padroni, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dallegri, Franco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lalive, Patrice H</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mach, François</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fainardi, Enrico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vuilleumier, Nicolas</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anti-ApoA-1 IgG serum levels predict worse poststroke outcomes.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur J Clin Invest</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur.

However, their potential relationship with clinical disability and ischaemic lesion volume after acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) remains unexplored.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MATERIALS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We included n = 76 patients admitted for AIS and we investigated whether baseline serum anti-ApoA-1 IgG levels could predict (i) AIS-induced clinical disability [assessed by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS)], and (ii) AIS-related ischaemic lesion volume [assessed by Computed Tomography (CT)]. We also evaluated the possible pro-apoptotic and pro-necrotic effects of anti-ApoA-1 IgG on human astrocytoma cell line (U251) using flow cytometry.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;High levels of anti-ApoA-1 IgG were retrieved in 15·8% (12/76) of patients. Increased baseline levels of anti-ApoA-1 IgG were independently correlated with worse mRS [β = 0·364; P = 0·002; adjusted odds ratio (OR): 1·05 (95% CI 1·01-1·09); P = 0·017] and CT-assessed ischaemic lesion volume [β = 0·333; P &lt; 0·001; adjusted OR: 1·06 (95% CI 1·01-1·12); P = 0·048] at 3 months. No difference in baseline clinical, biochemical and radiological characteristics was observed between patients with high vs. low levels of anti-ApoA-1 IgG. Incubating human astrocytoma cells with anti-ApoA-1 IgG dose dependently induced necrosis and apoptosis of U251 cells in vitro.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Anti-ApoA-1 IgG serum levels at AIS onset are associated with poorer clinical recovery and worse brain lesion volume 3 months after AIS. These observations could be partly explained by the deleterious effect of anti-ApoA-1 IgG on human brain cell survival in vitro and may have clinical implication in the prediction of poor outcome in AIS.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27490973?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Garziera, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Catamo, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montico, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cecchin, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lonardi, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mini, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nobili, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Romanato, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toffoli, G</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Association of the HLA-G 3'UTR polymorphisms with colorectal cancer in Italy: a first insight.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Immunogenet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int.

This study created gender-specific intrauterine BMI-for-age curves for Italian preterm infants and compared them with the USA version.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Data on 92 262 newborn infants, born at 26-42 weeks of gestational age in the north-eastern Italian region of Friuli Venezia Giulia between 2005 and 2013, were analysed to create gender-specific BMI-for-age curves. Gender-specific and age-specific BMI Z scores for Italian infants were calculated using the parameters of the USA growth curves and the World Health Organization charts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Gender-specific BMI-for-age at birth curves were developed for premature Italian infants from 26 gestational weeks. The comparison with the USA charts showed no significant difference in BMI percentiles in Italian infants born at ≤33 gestational weeks, but infants born at ≥34 gestational weeks had a significantly higher BMI than the USA population, by 0.2 standard deviations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;We developed the first European BMI-for-age at birth curves for premature infants. According to our findings, the Italian curves were comparable to the USA curves for the subgroup of infants born at ≤33 gestational weeks, but not ≥34 gestational weeks.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26871711?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bulla, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tripodo, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rami, Damiano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ling, Guang Sheng</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agostinis, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guarnotta, Carla</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zorzet, Sonia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Durigutto, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Botto, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tedesco, Francesco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">C1q acts in the tumour microenvironment as a cancer-promoting factor independently of complement activation.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nat Commun</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nat Commun</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Apoptosis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Line, Tumor</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Movement</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Proliferation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Complement Activation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Complement C1q</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Complement C3</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Complement C5</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mice</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mice, Inbred C57BL</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mice, Knockout</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neoplasms</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10346</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Complement C1q is the activator of the classical pathway. However, it is now recognized that C1q can exert functions unrelated to complement activation. Here we show that C1q, but not C4, is expressed in the stroma and vascular endothelium of several human malignant tumours. Compared with wild-type (WT) or C3- or C5-deficient mice, C1q-deficient (C1qa(-/-)) mice bearing a syngeneic B16 melanoma exhibit a slower tumour growth and prolonged survival. This effect is not attributable to differences in the tumour-infiltrating immune cells. Tumours developing in WT mice display early deposition of C1q, higher vascular density and an increase in the number of lung metastases compared with C1qa(-/-) mice. Bone marrow (BM) chimeras between C1qa(-/-) and WT mice identify non-BM-derived cells as the main local source of C1q that can promote cancer cell adhesion, migration and proliferation. Together these findings support a role for locally synthesized C1q in promoting tumour growth.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26831747?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rossetto, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Matarazzo, Lorenza</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maschio, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taddio, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Costa, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A Child with Severe Developmental Delay and Growth Retardation.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Pediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

To gain further information on this disorder, we searched for ETV6 mutations in the 130 families with inherited thrombocytopenia of unknown origin from our cohort of 274 consecutive pedigrees with familial thrombocytopenia. We identified 20 ETV6-RT patients from 7 pedigrees. They have 5 different ETV6 variants, including three novel mutations affecting the highly conserved E26 transformation-specific domain. The relative frequency of ETV6-RT resulted 2.6% in the whole case series and 4.6% among the families with known forms of inherited thrombocytopenia. The degree of thrombocytopenia and bleeding tendency of ETV6-RT patients were mild, but 4 subjects developed B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia during childhood, resulting in a significantly increased incidence compared to the general population. Clinical and laboratory findings did not identify any peculiar defects that can be used to suspect this disorder by routine diagnostic workup. However, at variance with most inherited thrombocytopenias, platelet size was not enlarged. In vitro studies revealed that patients megakaryocytes have defective maturation and impaired proplatelet formation. Moreover, ETV6-RT platelets have reduced ability to spread on fibrinogen. Since also the dominant thrombocytopenias due to mutations in RUNX1 and ANKRD26 are characterized by normal platelet size and predispose to hematological malignancies, we suggest that mutation screening of ETV6, RUNX1 and ANKRD26 should be performed in all the subjects with autosomal dominant thrombocytopenia and normal platelet size.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27365488?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Naselli, Aldo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Penco, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cantarini, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Insalaco, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alessio, Mariolina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maggio, Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Obici, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gallizi, Romina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cimmino, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Signa, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lucherini, Orso Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carta, Sonia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caroli, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rubartelli, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ceccherini, Isabella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gattorno, Marco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clinical Characteristics of Patients Carrying the Q703K Variant of the NLRP3 Gene: A 10-year Multicentric National Study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Rheumatol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Q705K, c. 2107C&gt;A) variant of the NLRP3 gene in a population of patients screened for suspected cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Since 2002, 580 patients underwent molecular analysis for NLRP3. Data on clinical presentation, response to treatment, and longterm followup were collected using a uniform questionnaire. The pattern of cytokine secretion after lipopolysaccharide stimulation from isolated monocytes was analyzed in 3 patients carrying the p.Q703K variant and 1 patient with a chronic infantile neurologic, cutaneous, articular syndrome phenotype carrying both the p.M406I and p.Q703K, and compared with 7 patients with CAPS with sure pathogenic variants and 6 healthy controls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The p.Q703K variant was found in 57 screened patients with an overall allelic frequency of 5%. The frequency in normal controls was 5.5%. Clinical data at the moment of molecular analysis and at followup were available in 36 patients. Two patients displayed additional mutations of NLRP3. The mean followup was 2.5 years. Thirteen patients (39%) had a final diagnosis different from the original suspicion of CAPS. The remaining 21 patients displayed a mild phenotype mainly characterized by recurrent episodes of urticarial rash and arthralgia. Only 8 patients were treated with anti-interleukin (IL)-1 treatment, with a complete response in 5 patients. The pattern of secretion of IL-1β and other cytokines (IL-6 and IL-1 receptor antagonist) in patients did not display the aberrancies observed in patients with CAPS and was similar to that observed in healthy controls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;The present study confirms the weak clinical and functional effect of the p.Q703K variant.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27036377?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">von Lowtzow, Catharina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hofmann, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zhang, Rong</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marsch, Florian</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ebert, Anne-Karoline</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rösch, Wolfgang</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stein, Raimund</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boemers, Thomas M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hirsch, Karin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcelis, Carlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Feitz, Wouter F J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brusco, Alfredo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Migone, Nicola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Grazia, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moebus, Susanne</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nöthen, Markus M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reutter, Heiko</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ludwig, Michael</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Draaken, Markus</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CNV analysis in 169 patients with bladder exstrophy-epispadias complex.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC Med Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC Med.

Initial studies have implicated rare copy number variations (CNVs), including recurrent duplications of chromosomal region 22q11.21, in BEEC etiology.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;To detect further CNVs, array analysis was performed in 169 BEEC patients. Prior to inclusion, 22q11.21 duplications were excluded using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Following the application of stringent filter criteria, seven rare CNVs were identified: n = 4, not present in 1307 in-house controls; n = 3, frequency of &lt;0.002 in controls. These CNVs ranged from 1 to 6.08 Mb in size. To identify smaller CNVs, relaxed filter criteria used in the detection of previously reported BEEC associated chromosomal regions were applied. This resulted in the identification of six additional rare CNVs: n = 4, not present in 1307 in-house controls; n = 2, frequency &lt;0.0008 in controls. These CNVs ranged from 0.03-0.08 Mb in size. For 10 of these 13 CNVs, confirmation and segregation analyses were performed (5 of maternal origin; 5 of paternal origin). Interestingly, one female with classic bladder extrophy carried a 1.18 Mb duplication of 22q11.1, a chromosomal region that is associated with cat eye syndrome.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;A number of rare CNVs were identified in BEEC patients, and these represent candidates for further evaluation. Rare inherited CNVs may constitute modifiers of, or contributors to, multifactorial BEEC phenotypes.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27138190?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Galli, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neri, Iria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giampaolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baldo, Ermanno</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barone, Maurizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Belloni Fortina, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bernardini, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berti, Irene</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caffarelli, Carlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calamelli, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Capra, Lucetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carello, Rossella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cipriani, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comberiati, Pasquale</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diociaiuti, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">El Hachem, Maya</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fontana, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gruber, Michaela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Haddock, Ellen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maiello, Nunzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meglio, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patrizi, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peroni, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scarponi, Dorella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wielander, Ingrid</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eichenfield, Lawrence F</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Consensus Conference on Clinical Management of pediatric Atopic Dermatitis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ital J Pediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ital J Pediatr</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">42</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">26</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The Italian Consensus Conference on clinical management of atopic dermatitis in children reflects the best and most recent scientific evidence, with the aim to provide specialists with a useful tool for managing this common, but complex clinical condition.

The therapeutical approach should be adapted to the clinical severity and requires a tailored strategy to ensure good compliance by children and their parents. In this Consensus, levels and models of intervention are also enriched by the Italian experience to facilitate a practical approach to the disease.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26936273?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bembich, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marrazzo, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barini, Alice</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ravalico, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cont, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Demarini, Sergio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The cortical response to a noxious procedure changes over time in preterm infants.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pain</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pain</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016 Sep</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">157</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1979-87</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The aim of the study was to investigate whether cortical response to a repeated noxious procedure may change over time in preterm infants. Possible reasons for change are: (1) advancing maturation of central nervous system; and (2) increasing experience with noxious procedures during hospital stay. Sixteen preterm infants were recruited, with a postmenstrual age (PMA) ranging between 29 and 36 weeks. Newborns were assessed during a heel-prick procedure, once a week for at least 3 consecutive times. Multichannel near-infrared spectroscopy was used to detect cortical activation, by measuring increase in cortical oxy-haemoglobin (HbO2). Parietal, temporal, and posterior frontal areas were monitored bilaterally. By regression analysis, we studied the effect of (1) increasing PMA and (2) increasing number of heel pricks, on the magnitude of cortical activation. We observed a bilateral nociceptive event-related activation of the posterior frontal cortex, mainly contralateral to the side pricked. Additionally, we found a significant positive effect of PMA, as HbO2 progressively increased in the posterior frontal cortex (P &lt; 0.001), bilaterally, over time. Conversely, the degree of cortical activation decreased as the number of noxious events increased (P &lt; 0.002). We conclude the following: (1) Preterm newborns showed a significant activation of the posterior frontal cortex in association with noxious stimuli; (2) Cortical activation was progressively greater with increasing PMA; (3) There was an inverse relationship between cortical activation and the number of heel pricks. We speculate that such findings may be due to both endogenous cortical maturation and experience-dependent neuroplasticity of the developing brain (eg, synaptogenesis, synaptic pruning).&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27152689?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lucafò, Marianna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bravin, Vanessa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelossi, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rabach, Ingrid</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decorti, Giuliana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Iudicibus, Sara</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Differential expression of GAS5 in rapamycin-induced reversion of glucocorticoid resistance.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin Exp Pharmacol Physiol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin.

The effect of MP, rapamycin, and MP plus rapamycin was determined in 17 healthy donors by labelling metabolically active cells with [methyl-3H] thymidine and the expression levels of GAS5 gene were evaluated by real-time RT-PCR TaqMan analysis. We confirmed a role for GAS5 in modulating GC response: poor responders presented higher levels of GAS5 in comparison with good responders. Interestingly, when PBMCs were treated with the combination of rapamycin plus MP, the high levels of GAS5 observed for each drug in the MP poor responders group decreased in comparison with rapamycin (P value = 0.0134) or MP alone (P value = 0.0193). GAS5 is involved in GC resistance and co-treatment of rapamycin with GCs restores GC effectiveness in poor responders through the downregulation of the long noncoding RNA. GAS5 could be considered a biomarker to personalize therapy and a novel therapeutic target useful for the development of new pharmacological approaches to restore GC sensitivity.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27001230?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Castagnetti, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gnech, Michele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Angelini, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rigamonti, Waifro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bagnara, Vincenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Esposito, Ciro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Does Preputial Reconstruction Increase Complication Rate of Hypospadias Repair? 20-Year Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Front Pediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Front Pediatr</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">41</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTRODUCTION: &lt;/b&gt;We performed a systematic review of the literature on preputial reconstruction (PR) during hypospadias repair to determine the cumulative risk of preputial skin complications and the influence of PR on urethroplasty complications, namely, fistula formation and overall reoperation rate of the repair.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MATERIALS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A systematic search of the literature published after 06/1995 was performed in 06/2015 using the keyword &quot;hypospadias.&quot; Only studies on the outcome of PR in children, defined as dehiscence of the reconstructed prepuce or secondary phimosis needing circumcision, were selected. A meta-analysis of studies comparing PR vs. circumcision was performed for the outcomes &quot;hypospadias fistula formation&quot; and &quot;reoperation rate.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Twenty studies were identified. Nineteen reported the outcome of PR in 2115 patients. Overall, 95% (2016/2115) of patients undergoing PR had distal hypospadias. The cumulative rate of PR complications was 7.7% (163/2115 patients), including 5.7% (121/2115 patients) preputial dehiscences and 1.5% (35/2117 reported patients) secondary phimoses needing circumcision. A meta-analysis of seven studies comparing patients undergoing PR vs. circumcision showed no increased risk of urethral fistula formation associated with PR, odds ratio (OR) (Mantel-Haenszel, Fixed effect, 95% CI), 1.25 (0.80-1.97). Likewise, two studies comparing the overall reoperation rate did not show an increased risk of reoperation associated with PR, OR (Mantel-Haenszel, Random effect, 95% CI), 1.27 (0.45-3.58).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;PR carries an 8% risk of specific complications (dehiscence of reconstructed prepuce or secondary phimosis needing circumcision), but does not seem to increase the risk of urethroplasty complications, and the overall reoperation rate of hypospadias repair.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27200322?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sonego, Michela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sagrado, Maria José</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Escobar, Gustavo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lazzerini, Marzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rivas, Estefanie</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martín-Cañavate, Rocio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de López, Elsy Pérez</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ayala, Sandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Castaneda, Luis</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aparicio, Pilar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Custodio, Estefanía</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dyslipidemia, Diet, and Physical Exercise in Children on Treatment with Anti-Retroviral Medication in El Salvador: A Cross-Sectional Study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Infect Dis J</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr.

We estimated the dislypidemia prevalence and its association with treatment, diet, and physical exercise in children on anti-retroviral treatment at the El Salvador reference center for pediatric HIV care (CENID).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Information was gathered regarding socio-demographic characteristics, treatment, diet, and physical activity of 173 children aged 5-18 years and receiving anti-retroviral therapy.Triglycerides, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), viral load, and CD4 T-lymphocytes were measured. Abnormal concentrations were defined as triglycerides ≥130 mg/dl in 10- to 18-year-olds and ≥100 mg/dl in &lt;10 year-olds; total cholesterol ≥200 mg/dl; LDL-C ≥130 mg/dl; and HDL-C ≤35 mg/dl.We adjusted four different multivariate models to assess the independent association of each type of dyslipidemia with protease-inhibitors, diet, and physical exercise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Of the 173 children, 83 (48%) had hypertriglyceridemia and 25 (14.5%) hypercholesterolemia. High LDL-C concentrations were observed in 17 children (9.8%) and low HDL-C in 38 (22%). Treatment with protease-inhibitors was significantly associated with hypertriglyceridemia (Prevalence Ratio (PR) 2.8; 95%CI 2.0-3.8) and hypercholesterolemia (PR 9.0; 95%CI 3.6-22.2).Higher adherence to a &quot;high fat/sugar diet&quot; was associated with hypercholesterolemia (PR 1.6; 95%CI 1.1-2.3) and high LDL-C (PR 1.7; 95%CI 1.0-2.9).Compared with those exercising &lt;3 times/week, children exercising ≥7 times were less likely to have low HDL-C (PR=0.4; 95%CI 0.2-0.7).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;These results suggest that a healthy diet and exercise habits can contribute to controlling some aspects of the lipid profile in this population.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27254031?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rosati, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ilvento, Lucrezia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">L'Erario, Manuela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Masi, Salvatore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biggeri, Annibale</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabbro, Giancarlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bianchi, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stoppa, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fusco, Lucia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pulitanò, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Battaglia, Domenica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pettenazzo, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sartori, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biban, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fontana, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cesaroni, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mora, Donatella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Costa, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meleleo, Rosanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vittorini, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Conio, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wolfler, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mastrangelo, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mondardini, Maria Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Franzoni, Emilio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">McGreevy, Kathleen S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Simone, Lorena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pugi, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mirabile, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vigevano, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guerrini, Renzo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Efficacy of ketamine in refractory convulsive status epilepticus in children: a protocol for a sequential design, multicentre, randomised, controlled, open-label, non-profit trial (KETASER01).</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMJ Open</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMJ Open</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e011565</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTRODUCTION: &lt;/b&gt;Status epilepticus (SE) is a life-threatening neurological emergency. SE lasting longer than 120 min and not responding to first-line and second-line antiepileptic drugs is defined as 'refractory' (RCSE) and requires intensive care unit treatment. There is currently neither evidence nor consensus to guide either the optimal choice of therapy or treatment goals for RCSE, which is generally treated with coma induction using conventional anaesthetics (high dose midazolam, thiopental and/or propofol). Increasing evidence indicates that ketamine (KE), a strong N-methyl-d-aspartate glutamate receptor antagonist, may be effective in treating RCSE. We hypothesised that intravenous KE is more efficacious and safer than conventional anaesthetics in treating RCSE.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS AND ANALYSIS: &lt;/b&gt;A multicentre, randomised, controlled, open-label, non-profit, sequentially designed study will be conducted to assess the efficacy of KE compared with conventional anaesthetics in the treatment of RCSE in children. 10 Italian centres/hospitals are involved in enrolling 57 patients aged 1 month to 18 years with RCSE. Primary outcome is the resolution of SE up to 24 hours after withdrawal of therapy and is updated for each patient treated according to the sequential method.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: &lt;/b&gt;The study received ethical approval from the Tuscan Paediatric Ethics Committee (12/2015).

in the key autophagy gene EPG5. We report genetic, clinical, neuroradiological, and neuropathological features of 50 children from 30 families, as well as the neuronal phenotype of EPG5 knock-down in Drosophila melanogaster. We identified 39 different EPG5 mutations, most of them truncating and predicted to result in reduced EPG5 protein. Most mutations were private, but three recurrent mutations (p.Met2242Cysfs*5, p.Arg417*, and p.Gln336Arg) indicated possible founder effects. Presentation was mainly neonatal, with marked hypotonia and feeding difficulties. In addition to the five principal features (callosal agenesis, cataracts, hypopigmentation, cardiomyopathy, and immune dysfunction), we identified three equally consistent features (profound developmental delay, progressive microcephaly, and failure to thrive). The manifestation of all eight of these features has a specificity of 97%, and a sensitivity of 89% for the presence of an EPG5 mutation and will allow informed decisions about genetic testing. Clinical progression was relentless and many children died in infancy. Survival analysis demonstrated a median survival time of 24 months (95% confidence interval 0-49 months), with only a 10th of patients surviving to 5 years of age. Survival outcomes were significantly better in patients with compound heterozygous mutations (P = 0.046), as well as in patients with the recurrent p.Gln336Arg mutation. Acquired microcephaly and regression of skills in long-term survivors suggests a neurodegenerative component superimposed on the principal neurodevelopmental defect. Two-thirds of patients had a severe seizure disorder, placing EPG5 within the rapidly expanding group of genes associated with early-onset epileptic encephalopathies. Consistent neuroradiological features comprised structural abnormalities, in particular callosal agenesis and pontine hypoplasia, delayed myelination and, less frequently, thalamic signal intensity changes evolving over time. Typical muscle biopsy features included fibre size variability, central/internal nuclei, abnormal glycogen storage, presence of autophagic vacuoles and secondary mitochondrial abnormalities. Nerve biopsy performed in one case revealed subtotal absence of myelinated axons. Post-mortem examinations in three patients confirmed neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative features and multisystem involvement. Finally, downregulation of epg5 (CG14299) in Drosophila resulted in autophagic abnormalities and progressive neurodegeneration. We conclude that EPG5-related Vici syndrome defines a novel group of neurodevelopmental disorders that should be considered in patients with suggestive features in whom mitochondrial, glycogen, or lysosomal storage disorders have been excluded. Neurological progression over time indicates an intriguing link between neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration, also supported by neurodegenerative features in epg5-deficient Drosophila, and recent implication of other autophagy regulators in late-onset neurodegenerative disease.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pt 3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26917586?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ravera, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dufour, Carlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cesaro, Simone</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bottega, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faleschini, Michela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cuccarolo, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corsolini, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Usai, Cesare</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Columbaro, Marta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cipolli, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savoia, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Degan, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cappelli, Enrico</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Evaluation of energy metabolism and calcium homeostasis in cells affected by Shwachman-Diamond syndrome.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sci Rep</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sci Rep</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">25441</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Isomorphic mutation of the SBDS gene causes Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS). SDS is a rare genetic bone marrow failure and cancer predisposition syndrome. SDS cells have ribosome biogenesis and their protein synthesis altered, which are two high-energy consuming cellular processes. The reported changes in reactive oxygen species production, endoplasmic reticulum stress response and reduced mitochondrial functionality suggest an energy production defect in SDS cells. In our work, we have demonstrated that SDS cells display a Complex IV activity impairment, which causes an oxidative phosphorylation metabolism defect, with a consequent decrease in ATP production. These data were confirmed by an increased glycolytic rate, which compensated for the energetic stress. Moreover, the signalling pathways involved in glycolysis activation also appeared more activated; i.e. we reported AMP-activated protein kinase hyper-phosphorylation. Notably, we also observed an increase in a mammalian target of rapamycin phosphorylation and high intracellular calcium concentration levels ([Ca(2+)]i), which probably represent new biochemical equilibrium modulation in SDS cells. Finally, the SDS cell response to leucine (Leu) was investigated, suggesting its possible use as a therapeutic adjuvant to be tested in clinical trials.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27146429?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radillo, Oriano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pascolo, Lorella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelossi, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dal Bo, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fecal Calprotectin: Diagnostic Accuracy of the Immunochromatographic CalFast Assay in a Pediatric Population.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Clin Lab Anal</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

In this study, we evaluated the diagnostic performance of the recently introduced immunochromatographic assay CalFast in comparison to the well-known ELISA tests for calprotectin assay to obtain a rapid diagnosis of bowel inflammation in pediatric patients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;CalFast was tested in parallel to the classic ELISA tests CalPrest and PhiCal (gold standards for the calprotectin determination) on 148 fecal samples from pediatric subjects including 104 healthy subjects, 29 with CD, and 15 with UC.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;In this study, the sensitivity and specificity of CalFast, CalPrest, and PhiCal were 86.4%, 88.6%, and 93.2% and 86.6%, 74%, and 64.4%, respectively. The area under the curve, obtained from receiver operating characteristic analysis, indicated the lack of significant difference among all the kits used.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;The immunochromatographic assay demonstrated good diagnostic predictive values, comparable to those of the ELISA methods, and may represent a valid alternative in order to save operators' time. The test, in fact, has a short turnaround time and does not need a specific ELISA instrumentation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. We conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), combining data across 133,413 individuals with replication in up to 42,166 individuals. We identify 24 new and confirm 29 previously identified loci. Of these 53 loci, 19 associate with eGFR among individuals with diabetes. Using bioinformatics, we show that identified genes at eGFR loci are enriched for expression in kidney tissues and in pathways relevant for kidney development and transmembrane transporter activity, kidney structure, and regulation of glucose metabolism. Chromatin state mapping and DNase I hypersensitivity analyses across adult tissues demonstrate preferential mapping of associated variants to regulatory regions in kidney but not extra-renal tissues. These findings suggest that genetic determinants of eGFR are mediated largely through direct effects within the kidney and highlight important cell types and biological pathways.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26831199?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app

genetic factors are estimated to account for at least 20% of the variation across individuals. Here we report the results of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for educational attainment that extends our earlier discovery sample of 101,069 individuals to 293,723 individuals, and a replication study in an independent sample of 111,349 individuals from the UK Biobank. We identify 74 genome-wide significant loci associated with the number of years of schooling completed. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with educational attainment are disproportionately found in genomic regions regulating gene expression in the fetal brain. Candidate genes are preferentially expressed in neural tissue, especially during the prenatal period, and enriched for biological pathways involved in neural development. Our findings demonstrate that, even for a behavioural phenotype that is mostly environmentally determined, a well-powered GWAS identifies replicable associated genetic variants that suggest biologically relevant pathways. Because educational attainment is measured in large numbers of individuals, it will continue to be useful as a proxy phenotype in efforts to characterize the genetic influences of related phenotypes, including cognition and neuropsychiatric diseases.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7604</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27225129?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pirastu, Nicola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kooyman, Maarten</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Traglia, Michela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robino, Antonietta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Willems, Sara M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pistis, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amin, Najaf</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sala, Cinzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Karssen, Lennart C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">van Duijn, Cornelia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toniolo, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A Genome-Wide Association Study in isolated populations reveals new genes associated to common food likings.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rev Endocr Metab Disord</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rev Endocr Metab Disord</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016 Apr 30</style></date></pub-dates></dates><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ENG</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Food preferences are the first factor driving food choice and thus nutrition. They involve numerous different senses such as taste and olfaction as well as various other factors such as personal experiences and hedonistic aspects. Although it is clear that several of these have a genetic basis, up to now studies have focused mostly on the effects of polymorphisms of taste receptor genes. Therefore, we have carried out one of the first large scale (4611 individuals) GWAS on food likings assessed for 20 specific food likings belonging to 4 different categories (vegetables, fatty, dairy and bitter). A two-step meta-analysis using three different isolated populations from Italy for the discovery step and two populations from The Netherlands and Central Asia for replication, revealed 15 independent genome-wide significant loci (p &lt; 5 × 10(-8)) for 12 different foods. None of the identified genes coded for either taste or olfactory receptors suggesting that genetics impacts in determining food likings in a much broader way than simple differences in taste perception. These results represent a further step in uncovering the genes that underlie liking of common foods that in the end will greatly help understanding the genetics of human nutrition in general.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27129595?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risso, Davide S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mezzavilla, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pagani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robino, Antonietta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morini, Gabriella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tofanelli, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carrai, Maura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campa, Daniele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barale, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caradonna, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Luiselli, Donata</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wooding, Stephen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Drayna, Dennis</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Global diversity in the TAS2R38 bitter taste receptor: revisiting a classic evolutionary PROPosal.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sci Rep</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sci Rep</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">25506</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The ability to taste phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) and 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) is a polymorphic trait mediated by the TAS2R38 bitter taste receptor gene. It has long been hypothesized that global genetic diversity at this locus evolved under pervasive pressures from balancing natural selection. However, recent high-resolution population genetic studies of TAS2Rs suggest that demographic events have played a critical role in the evolution of these genes. We here utilized the largest TAS2R38 database yet analyzed, consisting of 5,589 individuals from 105 populations, to examine natural selection, haplotype frequencies and linkage disequilibrium to estimate the effects of both selection and demography on contemporary patterns of variation at this locus. We found signs of an ancient balancing selection acting on this gene but no post Out-Of-Africa departures from neutrality, implying that the current observed patterns of variation can be predominantly explained by demographic, rather than selective events. In addition, we found signatures of ancient selective forces acting on different African TAS2R38 haplotypes. Collectively our results provide evidence for a relaxation of recent selective forces acting on this gene and a revised hypothesis for the origins of the present-day worldwide distribution of TAS2R38 haplotypes.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27138342?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radillo, Lucia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taddio, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ghirardo, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bramuzzo, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pederiva, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maschio, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The Great Pretender: Pediatric Wandering Spleen: Two Case Reports and Review of the Literature.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Emerg Care</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Emerg Care</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016 Feb 10</style></date></pub-dates></dates><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ENG</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Wandering spleen is a rare condition, typically not only due to embryological defects of the splenic ligaments, but also secondary to trauma and splenomegaly.

This study assessed the effectiveness of playing a computer game during venipuncture, compared with low-tech distraction by a nurse.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We conducted this prospective, randomised controlled trial at the blood-drawing centre of a tertiary-level children's hospital in Italy. Half of the 200 children played Angry Birds on a hand-held computer while the other half were distracted by a second, specifically trained nurse who sang to them, read a book, blew bubbles or played with puppets. Pain was measured using a faces pain scale for children aged 4-7 years and a numeric scale for children aged 8-13 years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The 200 children had a median age of eight years. Children reported significant pain in 16 cases (16%) in the hand-held computer distraction group and in 15 cases (15%) in the nurse-led low-tech distraction group (p = 0.85). The procedural success rate at the first attempt was not different in the two groups.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Playing a game on a hand-held computer meant that only one in six children reported pain during venipuncture, but it was not superior to being distracted by nurses.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27128220?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wolfler, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Osello, Raffaella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gualino, Jenny</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calderini, Edoardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vigna, Gianluca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Santuz, Pierantonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amigoni, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savron, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caramelli, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rossetti, Emanuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cecchetti, Corrado</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corbari, Maurizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piastra, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Testa, Raffaele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coffaro, Giancarlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stancanelli, Giusi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gitto, Eloisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amato, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prinelli, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salvo, Ida</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatric Intensive Therapy Network (TIPNet) Study Group</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The Importance of Mortality Risk Assessment: Validation of the Pediatric Index of Mortality 3 Score.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Crit Care Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Crit Care Med</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016 Mar</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">17</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">251-6</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;To evaluate the performance of the newest version of the Pediatric Index of Mortality 3 score and compare it with the Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 in a multicenter national cohort of children admitted to PICU.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;Retrospective, prospective cohort study.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SETTING: &lt;/b&gt;Seventeen Italian PICUs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PATIENTS: &lt;/b&gt;All children 0 to 15 years old admitted in PICU from January 2010 to October 2014.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERVENTIONS: &lt;/b&gt;None.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MEASUREMENT AND MAIN RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Eleven thousand one hundred nine children were enrolled in the study. The mean Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 and 3 values of 4.9 and 3.9, respectively, differed significantly (p &lt; 0.05). Overall mortality rate was 3.9%, and the standardized mortality ratio was 0.80 for Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 and 0.98 for Pediatric Index of Mortality 3 (p &lt; 0.05). The area under the curve of the receiver operating characteristic curves was similar for Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 and Pediatric Index of Mortality 3. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test was not significant for Pediatric Index of Mortality 3 (p = 0.21) but was highly significant for Pediatric Index of Mortality 2 (p &lt; 0.001), which overestimated death mainly in high-risk categories.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Mortality indices require validation in each country where it is used. The new Pediatric Index of Mortality 3 score performed well in an Italian population. Both calibration and discrimination were appropriate, and the score more accurately predicted the mortality risk than Pediatric Index of Mortality 2.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26825046?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molini, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cristi, M C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lapenna, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calzolaro, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Muzzi, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ciciriello, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Della Volpe, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Orzan, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, G</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Improving regional universal newborn hearing screening programmes in Italy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Otorhinolaryngol Ital</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Otorhinolaryngol Ital</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016 Feb</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">36</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10-4</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The Universal Newborn Hearing Screening (UNHS) programme aims at achieving early detection of hearing impairment.

The average time from onset of symptoms to diagnosis in industrialized countries still ranges from five to ten years. Using the regional centralized data linkage system, we calculated incidence and prevalence of endometriosis and adenomyosis in the female population of Friuli Venezia Giulia region, Italy, for the years 2011-2013. Cases were defined as new diagnoses from hospital discharge records, following procedures allowing direct visualization for endometriosis and hysterectomy for adenomyosis, with or without histological confirmation. Diagnoses were considered &quot;new&quot; after verifying women had not been diagnosed in the previous ten years. Incidence of endometriosis and adenomyosis in women aged 15-50 years is 0.14%. Prevalence, estimated from incidence, is 2.00%. Adenomyosis, representing 28% of all diagnoses, becomes increasingly prevalent after the age of 50 years. Our results shows how the study of both endometriosis and adenomyosis should not be limited to women of premenopausal age. Further efforts are needed to sensitize women and health professional, and to find new data linkage possibilities to identify undiagnosed cases.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27101396?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Sabatino, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giuffrida, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fornasa, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salvatore, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vanoli, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Naviglio, Samuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Leo, Luigina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pasini, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Amici, Mara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alvisi, Costanza</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Not, Tarcisio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rescigno, Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corazza, Gino Roberto</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Innate and adaptive immunity in self-reported nonceliac gluten sensitivity versus celiac disease.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dig Liver Dis</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dig Liver Dis</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016 Jul</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">48</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">745-52</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Immune mechanisms have been implicated in nonceliac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), a condition characterized by intestinal and/or extraintestinal symptoms caused by the ingestion of gluten in non-celiac/non-wheat allergic individuals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AIMS: &lt;/b&gt;We investigated innate and adaptive immunity in self-reported NCGS versus celiac disease (CD).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;In the supernatants of ex vivo-cultured duodenal biopsies from 14 self-reported NCGS patients, 9 untreated and 10 treated CD patients, and 12 controls we detected innate cytokines - interleukin (IL)-15, tumor necrosis factor-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12p70, IL-23, IL-27, IL-32α, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), IFN-α-, adaptive cytokines - interferon (IFN)-γ, IL-17A, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, IL-13-, chemokines - IL-8, CCL1, CCL2, CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, CXCL1, CXCL10-, granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Mucosal innate and adaptive cytokines, chemokines and growth factors did not differ between self-reported NCGS, treated CD and controls.

This syndrome presents with a broad range of phenotypes. The common characteristics include small testes and infertility, but KS subjects are at increased risk of hypogonadism, cognitive dysfunction, obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, osteoporosis, and autoimmune disorders, which are present in variable proportion. Although part of the clinical variability might be linked to a different degree of testicular function observed in KS patients, genetic mechanisms of the supernumerary X chromosome might contribute. Gene-dosage effects and parental origin of the supernumerary X chromosome have been suggested to this regard. No study has been performed analyzing the genetic constitution of the X chromosome in terms of copy number variations (CNVs) and their possible involvement in phenotype of KS. To this aim, we performed a SNP arrays analysis on 94 KS and 85 controls. We found that KS subjects have more frequently than controls X-linked CNVs (39/94, [41.5%] with respect to 12/42, [28.6%] of females, and 8/43, [18.6%] of males, p &lt; 0.01). The number of X-linked CNVs in KS patients was 4.58 ± 1.92 CNVs/subject, significantly higher with respect to that found in control females (1.50 ± 1.29 CNVs/subject) and males (1.14 ± 0.37 CNVs/subject). Importantly, 94.4% X-linked CNVs in KS subjects were duplications, higher with respect to control males (50.0%, p &lt; 0.001) and females (83.3%, p = 0.1). Half of the X-linked CNVs fell within regions encompassing genes and most of them (90%) included genes escaping X-inactivation in the regions of X-Y homology, particularly in the pseudoautosomal region 1 (PAR1) and Xq21.31. This study described for the first time the genetic properties of the X chromosome in KS and suggests that X-linked CNVs (especially duplications) might contribute to the clinical phenotype.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26789125?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rabach, Ingrid</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salis, Simona</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bruno, Irene</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Macrocephaly and palmoplantar pitting.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch Dis Child</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch.

&lt;/b&gt;Multiple (epi)genetic defects affecting the expression of the imprinted genes within the 11p15.5 chromosomal region underlie Silver-Russell (SRS) and Beckwith-Wiedemann (BWS) syndromes. The molecular diagnosis of these opposite growth disorders requires a multi-approach flowchart to disclose known primary and secondary (epi)genetic alterations; however, up to 20 and 30 % of clinically diagnosed BWS and SRS cases remain without molecular diagnosis. The complex structure of the 11p15 region with variable CpG methylation and low-rate mosaicism may account for missed diagnoses. Here, we demonstrate the relevance of complementary techniques for the assessment of different CpGs and the importance of testing multiple tissues to increase the SRS and BWS detection rate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Molecular testing of 147 and 450 clinically diagnosed SRS and BWS cases provided diagnosis in 34 SRS and 185 BWS patients, with 9 SRS and 21 BWS cases remaining undiagnosed and herein referred to as &quot;borderline.&quot; A flowchart including complementary techniques and, when applicable, the analysis of buccal swabs, allowed confirmation of the molecular diagnosis in all borderline cases. Comparison of methylation levels by methylation-specific multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MS-MLPA) in borderline and control cases defined an interval of H19/IGF2:IG-DMR loss of methylation that was distinct between &quot;easy to diagnose&quot; and &quot;borderline&quot; cases, which were characterized by values ≤mean -3 standard deviations (SDs) compared to controls. Values ≥mean +1 SD at H19/IGF2: IG-DMR were assigned to borderline hypermethylated BWS cases and those ≤mean -2 SD at KCNQ1OT1: TSS-DMR to hypomethylated BWS cases; these were supported by quantitative pyrosequencing or Southern blot analysis. Six BWS cases suspected to carry mosaic paternal uniparental disomy of chromosome 11 were confirmed by SNP array, which detected mosaicism till 10 %. Regarding the clinical presentation, borderline SRS were representative of the syndromic phenotype, with exception of one patient, whereas BWS cases showed low frequency of the most common features except hemihyperplasia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;A conclusive molecular diagnosis was reached in borderline methylation cases, increasing the detection rate by 6 % for SRS and 5 % for BWS cases. The introduction of complementary techniques and additional tissue analyses into routine diagnostic work-up should facilitate the identification of cases undiagnosed because of mosaicism, a distinctive feature of epigenetic disorders.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26933465?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pirastu, Nicola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kooyman, Maarten</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robino, Antonietta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">van der Spek, Ashley</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Navarini, Luciano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amin, Najaf</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Karssen, Lennart C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">van Duijn, Cornelia M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Non-additive genome-wide association scan reveals a new gene associated with habitual coffee consumption.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sci Rep</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sci Rep</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">31590</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Coffee is one of the most consumed beverages world-wide and one of the primary sources of caffeine intake. Given its important health and economic impact, the underlying genetics of its consumption has been widely studied. Despite these efforts, much has still to be uncovered. In particular, the use of non-additive genetic models may uncover new information about the genetic variants driving coffee consumption. We have conducted a genome-wide association study in two Italian populations using additive, recessive and dominant models for analysis. This has uncovered a significant association in the PDSS2 gene under the recessive model that has been replicated in an independent cohort from the Netherlands (ERF). The identified gene has been shown to negatively regulate the expression of the caffeine metabolism genes and can thus be linked to coffee consumption. Further bioinformatics analysis of eQTL and histone marks from Roadmap data has evidenced a possible role of the identified SNPs in regulating PDSS2 gene expression through enhancers present in its intron. Our results highlight a novel gene which regulates coffee consumption by regulating the expression of the genes linked to caffeine metabolism.

The use of vibrational spectromicroscopy represents a promising approach for monitoring DNA integrity in sperm, although some limitations exist, depending from the experimental conditions. Here, we report that when using FTIR spectromicroscopy to reveal oxidative stress mediated by Fenton's reaction on hydrated sperm samples, DNA damage interpretation is partially compromised by unexpected cell surface precipitates. The precipitates give a broad band in the 1150-1000cm(-1) infrared region, which partially covers one of the signatures of DNA (phosphate stretching bands), and are detected as iron and oxygen containing material when using XRF spectroscopy. On the other hand, the analyses further support the potential of FTIR spectromicroscopy to reveal cellular oxidative damage events such as lipid peroxidation, protein misfolding and aggregations, as well as DNA strain breaks.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26923261?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kamada, Anselmo J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bianco, Anna M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zupin, Luisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girardelli, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Matte, Maria C C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Medeiros, Rúbia Marília de</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Almeida, Sabrina Esteves de Matos</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rocha, Marineide M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, Ludovica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chies, José A B</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kuhn, Louise</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Protective Role of BST2 Polymorphisms in Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV-1 and Adult AIDS Progression.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

This study investigated the risk conferred by single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs919266, rs9192677, and rs9576) at BST-2 coding gene (BST2) in HIV-1 mother-to-child transmission and in disease progression. Initially, 101 HIV-1+ pregnant women and 331 neonates exposed to HIV-1 from Zambia were enrolled. Additional BST2 single nucleotide polymorphism analyses were performed in 2 cohorts with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) progression: an adult Brazilian cohort (37 rapid, 30 chronic and 21 long-term non-progressors) and an Italian pediatric cohort (21 rapid and 67 slow progressors). The rs9576A allele was nominally associated with protection during breastfeeding (P = 0.019) and individuals carrying rs919266 GA showed slower progression to AIDS (P = 0.033). Despite the influence of rs919266 and rs9576 on BST2 expression being still undetermined, a preventive role by BST2 polymorphisms was found during HIV-1 infection.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26885809?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ura, Blendi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scrimin, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arrigoni, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Franchin, Cinzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A Proteomic Approach for the Identification of Up-Regulated Proteins Involved in the Metabolic Process of the Leiomyoma.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Mol Sci</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Mol Sci</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">17</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">540</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Uterine leiomyoma is the most common benign smooth muscle cell tumor of the uterus. Proteomics is a powerful tool for the analysis of complex mixtures of proteins. In our study, we focused on proteins that were upregulated in the leiomyoma compared to the myometrium. Paired samples of eight leiomyomas and adjacent myometrium were obtained and submitted to two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and mass spectrometry for protein identification and to Western blotting for 2-DE data validation. The comparison between the patterns revealed 24 significantly upregulated (p &lt; 0.05) protein spots, 12 of which were found to be associated with the metabolic processes of the leiomyoma and not with the normal myometrium. The overexpression of seven proteins involved in the metabolic processes of the leiomyoma was further validated by Western blotting and 2D Western blotting. Four of these proteins have never been associated with the leiomyoma before. The 2-DE approach coupled with mass spectrometry, which is among the methods of choice for comparative proteomic studies, identified a number of proteins overexpressed in the leiomyoma and involved in several biological processes, including metabolic processes. A better understanding of the mechanism underlying the overexpression of these proteins may be important for therapeutic purposes.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27070597?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Felluga, Margherita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rabach, Ingrid</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minute, Marta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montico, Marcella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giorgi, Rita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lonciari, Isabella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taddio, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A quasi randomized-controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of clowntherapy on children's anxiety and pain levels in emergency department.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur J Pediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur.

Forty children (4-11 years) admitted to the ED with the need of painful procedures were prospectively enrolled. They were randomly assigned to the clown group, where children interacted with clowns or to the control group in which they were entertained by parents and ED nurses. The children's anxiety was assessed by the Children's Anxiety and Pain Scales; pain was evaluated with the Numerical Rating Scale and Wong-Backer Scale, according to the children's age. Staff and clown's opinions were evaluated by means of dedicated questionnaires. Children's anxiety levels in the clown group were significantly lower than those compared with the control group, while children's pain levels did not change between the two groups.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;The presence of clowns in the ED before and during painful procedures was effective in reducing children's anxiety.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;WHAT IS KNOWN: &lt;/b&gt;• Anxiety and fear caused by medical procedures exacerbate children's pain and may interfere with the procedure. • To reduce anxiety, fear, and pain and to facilitate patient's evaluation, different non-pharmacological approaches have been proposed and positive effects of laughter and humor have been reported. What is New: • The presence of clowns in the waiting room and in the ED during medical evaluation and painful procedures helps to reduce children's anxiety.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style

These peptides are known to play different roles in response to a variety of biotic (i.e. induced by bacteria, fungi and nematode pathogens) and abiotic (salinity, drought and ROS) stressors, as well as in crosstalk promoted by plant hormones, with emphasis on abscisic and salicylic acid (ABA and SA, respectively). Such properties make snakin/GASA members promising biotechnological sources for potential therapeutic and agricultural applications. However, information regarding their tertiary structure, mode of action and function are not yet completely elucidated. The present review presents aspects of snakin structure, expression, functional studies and perspectives about the potential applications for agricultural and medical purposes.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27323806?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Svahn, Johanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bagnasco, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cappelli, Enrico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Onofrillo, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caruso, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corsolini, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Rocco, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savoia, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Longoni, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pillon, Marta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marra, Nicoletta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ramenghi, Ugo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Farruggia, Piero</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Locasciulli, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Addari, Carmen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cerri, Carla</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mastrodicasa, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Casazza, Gabriella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Verzegnassi, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Riccardi, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Haupt, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barone, Angelica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cesaro, Simone</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cugno, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dufour, Carlo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Somatic, hematologic phenotype, long-term outcome, and effect of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Seventy-two patients belonged to complementation group A. Eighty percent of patients presented with mild/moderate somatic phenotype and most with cytopenia. No correlation was seen between somatic/hematologic phenotype and number of missense mutations of FANCA alleles. Over follow-up, 33% of patients improved or maintained mild/moderate cytopenia or normal blood count, whereas remaining worsened cytopenia. Eleven patients developed a hematological adverse event (MDS, AML, pathological cytogenetics) and three developed solid tumors. 10 years cumulative risk of death of the whole cohort was 25.6% with median follow-up 5.8 years. In patients eligible to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation because of moderate cytopenia, mortality was significantly higher in subjects transplanted from matched unrelated donor over nontransplanted subjects, whereas there was no significant difference between matched sibling donor transplants and nontransplanted patients. In patients eligible to transplant because of severe cytopenia and clonal disease, mortality risk was not significantly different in transplanted from matched unrelated versus matched sibling donor versus nontransplanted subjects. The decision to transplant should rely on various elements including, type of donor, HLA matching, patient comorbidities, impairment, and clonal evolution of hematopoiesis. Am. J.

It has been shown in many studies that asbestos fibers, ingested by alveolar macrophages, disrupt lung iron homeostasis by sequestering iron. Calcium can also be deposited on the fibers. The pathways along which iron and above all calcium interact with fibers are still unknown. Our aim was that of investigating if the iron accumulation induced by the inhaled asbestos fibers also involves calcium ions accumulation. Lung sections of asbestos-exposed mice were analyzed using an extremely sensitive procedure available at the synchrotron facilities, that provides morphological and chemical information based on X-ray fluorescence microspectroscopy (μ-XRF). In this study we show that (1) where conventional histochemical procedures revealed only weak deposits of iron and calcium, μ-XRF analysis is able to detect significant deposits of both iron and calcium on the inhaled asbestos fibers; (2) the extent of the deposition of these ions is proportionally directly related and (3) iron and calcium deposition on inhaled asbestos fibers is concomitant with the appearance of inflammatory and hyperplastic reactions.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26602167?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pelin, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Iudicibus, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Londero, Margherita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spizzo, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dei Rossi, Sveva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelossi, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decorti, Giuliana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stocco, Gabriele</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thiopurine Biotransformation and Pharmacological Effects: Contribution of Oxidative Stress.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr Drug Metab</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr.

Their pharmacological actions depend on biotransformation into active thioguanine-nucleotides; intracellular metabolism is mediated by enzymes of the salvage pathway of nucleotide synthesis and relies on polymorphic enzymes involved in thiopurines' catabolism such as thiopurine-S-methyl transferase. Given the enzymes involved in thiopurines' metabolism, it is reasonable to hypothesize that these drugs are able to induce significant oxidative stress conditions, possibly altering their pharmacological activity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A systemic search of peer-reviewed scientific literature in bibliographic databases has been carried out. Both clinical and preclinical studies as well as mechanistic studies have been included to shed light on the role of oxidative stress in thiopurines' pharmacological effects.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Sixty-nine papers were included in our review, allowing us to review the contribution of oxidative stress in the pharmacological action of thiopurines. Thiopurines are catabolized in the liver by xanthine oxidase, with potential production of reactive oxidative species and azathioprine is converted into mercaptopurine by a reaction with reduced glutathione, that, in some tissues, may be facilitated by glutathione- S-transferase (GST). A clear role of GSTM1 in modulating azathioprine cytotoxicity, with a close dependency on superoxide anion production, has been recently demonstrated. Interestingly, recent genome-wide association studies have shown that, for both azathioprine in inflammatory bowel disease and mercaptopurine in acute lymphoblastic leukemia, treatment effects on patients' white blood cells are related to variants of a gene, NUDT15, involved in biotransformation of oxidated nucleotides.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Basing on previous evidences published in literature, oxidative stress may contribute to thiopurine effects in significant ways that, however, are still not completely elucidated.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26935390?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fornasaro, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marta, Silvia Dalla</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rabusin, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bonifacio, Alois</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sergo, Valter</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toward SERS-based point-of-care approaches for therapeutic drug monitoring: the case of methotrexate.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faraday Discuss</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faraday Discuss.</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016 Jun 23</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">187</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">485-99</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;To date, in spite of their toxicity, the plasmatic concentration of most chemotherapeutic drugs is difficult to monitor in oncological patients, because their quantitative determination is expensive and time consuming. This contribution reports a first attempt for the direct quantitative determination of a chemotherapeutic drug in human serum samples by means of Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). In this study, SERS substrates constituted by Au nanoparticles deposited on paper by a simple dipping method have been used for rapid (few minutes) analysis of diluted human serum spiked with different concentrations of methotrexate, MTX. The drug concentrations were chosen in a range designed to cover typical therapeutic plasmatic values (from nanomolar to millimolar) in oncological patients, and the pertinent calibration was obtained by Partial Least-Squares Regression (PLSR). Stability selection was employed to evaluate the capability of the PLSR model to accurately predict and extract spectral variations correlated to MTX concentration. Such a quantitative determination is crucial for frequent, and hence adherent, therapeutic drug monitoring, TDM, of chemiotherapic drugs, given their heavy side effects. Its low cost, rapid response and the possibility of obtaining spectra with simple and compact instruments, make SERS particularly apt for implementing effective TDM. The promising results obtained in the analytical validation indicate which steps are to be taken on the way toward a clinical validation with real samples from oncological patients, for MTX as well as for other chemotherapeutic drugs.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27055173?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robino, Antonietta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mezzavilla, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pirastu, Nicola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">La Bianca, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carlino, Davide</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tepper, Beverly J</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Understanding the role of personality and alexithymia in food preferences and PROP taste perception.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Physiol Behav</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Physiol.

The aims of this study were to examine the role of personality characteristics, such as alexithymia (a personality construct characterized by inability to identify, describe, and work with one's own feelings), in: 1) taste responses to the bitter genetic taste-marker PROP and 2) food liking. We studied 649 healthy subjects residing in six genetically-isolated villages of Northeast Italy. Data on PROP taste responsiveness, food liking, personality characteristics and TAS2R28 genotypes were collected. Results showed that PROP non-tasters had higher alexithymia scores than PROP tasters. Moreover, the presence of alexithymia in heterozygous individuals for the rs1726886 polymorphism of the TAS2R38 gene was associated with a reduction in the perceived intensity of PROP. Finally, higher alexithymia scores were associated with liking of alcohol, sweets and fats/meats whereas lower alexithymia scores were related to liking of vegetables, condiments and strong cheeses, Measures of temperament, character, anxiety and depression were also related to food liking. Our findings suggest that: 1) alexithymia, in addition to the TAS2R38 polymorphism, may play a role in responsiveness to the aversive and bitter taste of PROP; and 2) alexithymia, in combination with other personality traits, may provide important insights for better understanding food liking.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26805725?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guida, Edoardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Grazia, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cattaruzzi, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bussani, Rossana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rigamonti, Waifro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lembo, Maria Antonietta</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">When a lymphatic malformation determines a bowel volvulus: Are clinical status and images always reliable?</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Surg Case Rep</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Surg Case Rep</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">25</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">192-5</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTRODUCTION: &lt;/b&gt;An acute abdomen in the form of small-bowel volvulus could be a presentation of a lymphatic malformation in childhood.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CASE PRESENTATION: &lt;/b&gt;A 5year old male was admitted to our Institute for an acute abdomen. Clinical aspects and radiological images were not specific for a certain diagnosis. Laparotomy revealed a big soft mass, with a milky content, completely involving about 50cm of ileus with a partial volvulus of the intestinal loop. A complete mass excision and also a bowel involved resection were performed. After a histological examination, a lymphatic malformation was diagnosed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DISCUSSION: &lt;/b&gt;The diagnosis of a mesenteric lymphatic malformation could be intraoperative and a complete resection should be the treatment of choice. Sometimes it could be necessary to perform an involved bowel tract resection in the case of volvolus with ischemia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Paediatricians and surgeons should bare in mind that an intrabdominal lymphatic malformation may present as a nonspecific an acute abdomen caused by a bowel volvolus and diagnosis may not be so simple preoperatively.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27388707?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hauschner, Hagit</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mor-Cohen, Ronit</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Messineo, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mansour, Wissam</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seligsohn, Uri</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savoia, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rosenberg, Nurit</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Abnormal cytoplasmic extensions associated with active αIIbβ3 are probably the cause for macrothrombocytopenia in Glanzmann thrombasthenia-like syndrome.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blood Coagul Fibrinolysis</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blood Coagul.

Several rare mutations cause a Glanzmann-like syndrome which manifests macrothrombocytopenia and usually displays autosomal dominant inheritance. The exact mechanism causing Glanzmann-like syndrome is unknown. One typical example of Glanzmann-like mutations causes deletion of 40 amino acids (p.647-686) in the β3 β-tail domain (βTD_del) that was found in the heterozygous state in Italian and Japanese families. A second example is a missense mutation, C560R, located in the epidermal growth factor-like domain, found in the homozygous state in a French patient. Both mutations cause constitutive activation of αIIbβ3, but differ in their surface expression. In the current study, we generated cultured cells expressing β3-βTD_del or β3-C560R mutations along with wild-type αIIb, and examined the cells' ability to create tubulin-dependent protrusions compared to cells expressing wild-type αIIbβ3. Unlike cells expressing wild-type αIIbβ3, cells harboring each of the mutations exhibited abnormal cytoplasmic extensions on immobilized fibrinogen or Von Willebrand factor, which resembled extensions formed in megakaryocyte leading to proplatelets. Moreover, we showed that formation of abnormal extensions occurred also in wild-type αIIbβ3 cells when activated by activating antibody. These results suggest that the active conformation of αIIbβ3 can induce cytoskeletal rearrangements that lead to impaired proplatelet formation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal"

thrombocytopenias (ITs) are a heterogeneous group of syndromic and nonsyndromic diseases caused by mutations affecting different genes. Alterations of ACTN1, the gene encoding for α-actinin 1, have recently been identified in a few families as being responsible for a mild form of IT (ACTN1-related thrombocytopenia; ACTN1-RT). To better characterize this disease, we screened ACTN1 in 128 probands and found 10 (8 novel) missense heterozygous variants in 11 families. Combining bioinformatics, segregation, and functional studies, we demonstrated that all but 1 amino acid substitution had deleterious effects. The clinical and laboratory findings of 31 affected individuals confirmed that ACTN1-RT is a mild macrothrombocytopenia with low risk for bleeding. Low reticulated platelet counts and only slightly increased serum thrombopoietin levels indicated that the latest phases of megakaryopoiesis were affected. Given its relatively high frequency in our cohort (4.2%), ACTN1-RT has to be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of ITs.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25361813?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schreiber, Silvana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cozzi, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rutigliano, Rosaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Assandro, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tubaro, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cortellazzo Wiel, Luisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Analgesia by cooling vibration during venipuncture in children with cognitive impairment.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Paediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Paediatr.</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 Sep 24</style></date></pub-dates></dates><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ENG</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AIM: &lt;/b&gt;Children with cognitive impairment experience pain more frequently than healthy children and are more likely to require venipuncture or intravenous cannulation for various procedures. They are frequently unable to report pain and often receive poor pain assessment and management. This study assessed the effectiveness of physical analgesia during vascular access in children with cognitive impairments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We conducted a prospective randomised controlled study at a tertiary-level children's hospital in Italy from April to May 2015 to assess whether a cooling vibration device called Buzzy decreased pain during venipuncture and intravenous cannulation in children with cognitive impairment. None of the children had verbal skills and the main cognitive impairments were cerebral palsy, epileptic encephalopathy and genetic syndromes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;We tested 70 children with a median age of nine years: 34 in the Buzzy group and 36 in the no-intervention group. Parents were trained in the use of the Noncommunicating Children's Pain Checklist - postoperative version scale, and they reported no or mild procedural pain in 32 cases (91.4%) in the Buzzy group and in 22 cases (61.1%) in the no-intervention group (p = 0.003).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Cooling vibration analgesia during vascular access reduced pain in children with cognitive impairment.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26401633?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mezzavilla, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ulivi, Sheila</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bianca, Martina La</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carlino, Davide</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robino, Antonietta</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Analysis of functional variants reveals new candidate genes associated with alexithymia.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Psychiatry Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Psychiatry Res</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Affective Symptoms</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Case-Control Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA-Binding Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Emotions</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Membrane Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">P-Glycoproteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Personality Inventory</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phenotype</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tumor Suppressor Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Young Adult</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 Jun 30</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">227</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">363-5</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;In this study we explored the possible association between 36,915 functional variants and alexithymia, a personality trait characterized by the inability to identify and describe emotions and feelings.

Having recently demonstrated that the mitochondria-targeting small molecule sodium dichloroacetate (DCA) exhibits anti-leukemic activity in p53wild-type B-CLL cells, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of DCA in p53mutated B-CLL cells and in p53mutated/null leukemic cell lines. DCA exhibited comparable cytotoxicity in p53wild-type and p53mutated B-CLL patient cell cultures, as well as in p53mutated B leukemic cell lines (MAVER, MEC-1, MEC-2). At the molecular level, DCA promoted the transcriptional induction of p21 in all leukemic cell types investigated, including p53null HL-60. By using a proteomic approach, we demonstrated that DCA up-regulated the ILF3 transcription factor, which is a known regulator of p21 expression. The role of the ILF3/p21 axis in mediating the DCA anti-leukemic activity was underscored by knocking-down experiments. Indeed, transfection with ILF3 and p21 siRNAs significantly decreased both the DCA-induced p21 expression and the DCA-mediated cytotoxicity. Taken together, our results emphasize that DCA is a small molecule that merits further evaluation as a therapeutic agent also for p53mutated leukemic cells, by acting through the induction of a p53-independent pathway.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25544776?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biffi, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Voltan, Rebecca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rampazzo, Enrico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prodi, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zauli, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Secchiero, Paola</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Applications of nanoparticles in cancer medicine and beyond: optical and multimodal in vivo imaging, tissue targeting and drug delivery.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Expert Opin Drug Deliv</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Expert Opin Drug Deliv</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 Aug 9</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-13</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ENG</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTRODUCTION: &lt;/b&gt;Nanotechnology has opened up the way to the engineering of new organized materials endowed with improved performances. In the past decade, engineered nanoparticles (NPs) have been progressively implemented by exploiting synthetic strategies that yield complex materials capable of performing functions with applications also in medicine. Indeed, in the field of 'nanomedicine' it has been explored the possibility to design multifunctional nanosystems, characterized by high analytical performances and stability, low toxicity and specificity towards a given cell target. Area covered: In this review article, we summarize the advances in the engineering of NPs for biomedical applications, from optical imaging (OI) to multimodal OI and targeted drug delivery. For this purpose, we will provide some examples of how investigations in nanomedicine can support preclinical and clinical research generating innovative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in oncology. Expert opinion: The progressive breakthroughs in nanomedicine have supported the development of multifunctional and multimodal NPs. In particular, NPs are significantly impacting the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies since they allow the development of: NP-based OI probes containing more than one modality-specific contrast agent; surface functionalized NPs for specific 'molecular recognition'. Therefore, the design and characterization of innovative NP-based systems/devices have great applicative potential into the medical field.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26255585?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Randi, Maria L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Geranio, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bertozzi, Irene</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Micalizzi, Concetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ramenghi, Ugo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tucci, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Notarangelo, Lucia D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ladogana, Saverio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Menna, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giordano, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Consarino, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Farruggia, Piero</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanazzo, Giulio A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fiori, Giovanni M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Burnelli, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Russo, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jankovich, Momcilo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peroni, Edoardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Duner, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Basso, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabris, Fabrizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Putti, Maria C</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Are all cases of paediatric essential thrombocythaemia really myeloproliferative neoplasms?

Here, we assessed 89 children with a clinical diagnosis of ET and found that 23 patients (25·8%) had a clonal disease. The JAK2 V617F mutation was identified in 14 children, 1 child had the MPL W515L mutation, and 6 had CALR mutations. The monoclonal X-chromosome inactivation pattern was seen in six patients (two with JAK2 V617F and two with CALR mutations). The other 66 patients (74·2%) had persistent thrombocytosis with no clonality. There were no clinical or haematological differences between the clonal and non-clonal patients. The relative proportion of ET-specific mutations in the clonal children was much the same as in adults. The higher prevalence of non-clonal cases suggests that some patients may not have myeloproliferative neoplasms, with significant implications for their treatment.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25716342?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrazzi, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zullino, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stampalija, T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vener, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cavoretto, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gervasi, M T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vergani, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mecacci, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marozio, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oggè, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Algeri, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ruffatti, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milani, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Todros, T</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bedside diagnosis of two major clinical phenotypes of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 Sep 9</style></date></pub-dates></dates><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ENG</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;We hypothesized that fetal abdominal circumference (AC) and Uterine Doppler Pulsatility Index (UtA-PI) could select two homogenous subgroups of women affected by hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), characterized by the coexistence of maternal hypertension with and without IUGR.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;This is a multicentre study that studied cases affected by HDP in whom fetal AC and UtA-PI had been measured at admission to feto Maternal Medicine Units. Maternal characteristics, pregnancy complications and outcome were recorded. These data allowed us to model the characteristics of fetal growth in cases affected by HDP, and to design a composite index for risk factors of maternal metabolic syndrome (rfMMS) and composite index of severity for maternal organ and/or function damage (OFD).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Measurements of fetal AC and UtA-PI allowed us to define a group of HDP with AGA fetuses (HDP-AGAf) diagnosed by normal fetal AC and a UtA-PI (#205), and a group of HDP with IUGR fetuses (HDP-IUGR) diagnosed by fetal AC &lt;5(th) centile and UtA-PI &gt;95(th) centile (#124). Curves fitted to birth-weight of the two groups were significantly different, and gestational age at admission for HDP, &lt;34 or ≥34, had no effect on their models. When birth-weight was expressed as standard deviation score (SDS) of local reference charts, the average SDS (±standard error) corresponded to the 6(th) and 48(th) centile respectively. The risk of developing HDP-AGAf was significantly associated with risk factors for maternal metabolic syndrome (OR= 2.79;CI 1.57-4.97), independently of gestational age. The same risk factors yielded a non significant ORs of developing late onset HDP. Women with HDP-IUGR proved to be associated with the worst clinical outcomes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;This study adds genuine new data based on simple prenatal bedside examinations, that might help to differentiate HDP with IUGR, from HDP with AGA fetuses, associated with different fetal growth patterns and different risk factors, not affected by gestational age at onset of the disease.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26350023?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stampalija, T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Casati, D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sassi, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rivolta, M W</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Muggiasca, M L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bauer, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrazzi, E</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brain sparing effect in growth-restricted fetuses is associated with decreased cardiac acceleration and deceleration capacities: a case-control study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BJOG</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BJOG</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 Sep 23</style></date></pub-dates></dates><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ENG</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;Phase rectified signal averaging (PRSA) is a new method of fetal heart rate variability (fHRV) analysis that quantifies the average acceleration (AC) and deceleration capacity (DC) of the heart. The aim of this study was to evaluate AC and DC of fHR [recorded by trans-abdominal fetal electrocardiogram (ta-fECG)] in relation to Doppler velocimetry characteristics of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;Prospective case-control study.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SETTING: &lt;/b&gt;Single third referral centre.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;POPULATION: &lt;/b&gt;IUGR (n = 66) between 25 and 40 gestational weeks and uncomplicated pregnancies (n = 79).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;In IUGR the nearest ta-fECG monitoring to delivery was used for PRSA analysis and Doppler velocimetry parameters obtained within 48 hours. AC and DC were computed at s = T = 9. The relation was evaluated between either AC or DC and Doppler velocimetry parameters adjusting for gestational age at monitoring, as well as the association between either AC or DC and IUGR with or without brain sparing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;In IUGRs there was a significant association between either AC and DC and middle cerebral artery pulsatility index (PI; P = 0.01; P = 0.005), but the same was not true for uterine or umbilical artery PI (P &gt; 0.05). Both IUGR fetuses with and without brain sparing had lower AC and DC than controls, but this association was stronger for IUGRs with brain sparing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our study observed for the first time that AC and DC at PRSA analysis are associated with middle cerebral artery PI, but not with uterine or umbilical artery PI, and that there is a significant decrease of AC and DC in association with brain sparing in IUGR fetuses from 25 weeks of gestation to term.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;TWEETABLE ABSTRACT: &lt;/b&gt;Brain sparing in IUGR fetuses is associated with decreased acceleration and deceleration capacities of the heart.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26395895?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Farchi, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">[Breastfeeding in the first months of life: data from the &quot;Piccolipiù&quot; cohorts].</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epidemiol Prev</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epidemiol Prev</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 Sep-Dec</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">39</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">392</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ita</style></language><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5-6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26554692?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rusconi, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Negri, Gloria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Colapietro, Patrizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Picinelli, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milani, Donatella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spena, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Magnani, Cinzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Silengo, Margherita Cirillo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sorasio, Lorena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curtisova, Vaclava</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cavaliere, Maria Luigia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prontera, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stangoni, Gabriela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrero, Giovanni Battista</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biamino, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fischetto, Rita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piccione, Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salviati, Leonardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Selicorni, Angelo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Finelli, Palma</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Larizza, Lidia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gervasini, Cristina</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Characterization of 14 novel deletions underlying Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome: an update of the CREBBP deletion repertoire.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum.

The syndrome is caused by almost private point mutations in the CREBBP (~55% of cases) and EP300 (~8%) genes. The CREBBP mutational spectrum is variegated and characterized by point mutations (30-50 %) and deletions (~10%). The latter are diverse in size and genomic position and remove either the whole CREBBP gene and its flanking regions or only an intragenic portion. Here, we report 14 novel CREBBP deletions ranging from single exons to the whole gene and flanking regions which were identified by applying complementary cytomolecular techniques: fluorescence in situ hybridization, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification and array comparative genome hybridization, to a large cohort of RSTS patients. Deletions involving CREBBP account for 23% of our detected CREBBP mutations, making an important contribution to the mutational spectrum. Genotype-phenotype correlations revealed that patients with CREBBP deletions extending beyond this gene did not always have a more severe phenotype than patients harboring CREBBP point mutations, suggesting that neighboring genes play only a limited role in the etiopathogenesis of CREBBP-centerd contiguous gene syndrome. Accordingly, the extent of the deletion is not predictive of the severity of the clinical phenotype.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25805166?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benelli, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carrato, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelossi, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Not, Tarcisio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coeliac disease in the ERA of the new ESPGHAN and BSPGHAN guidelines: a prospective cohort study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch Dis Child</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch.

All patients were put on a gluten-free diet (GFD) and were followed up for clinical conditions and laboratory testing at 6 months every year since diagnosis (median follow up: 1.9 years).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OUTCOME MEASURES: &lt;/b&gt;Resolution of symptoms, body mass index, laboratory testing (haemoglobin, anti-transglutaminase IgA), adherence to a GFD, quality of life, and supplementary post-diagnosis medical consultations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;51 out of 468 (11%) patients were diagnosed without a duodenal biopsy (group 1; median age 2.1 years) and matched to 92 patients diagnosed with a biopsy (group 2; median age 2.4 years). At the end of follow-up the two groups were statistically comparable in terms of clinical and nutritional status, anti-transglutaminase IgA antibody titres, quality of life, adherence to a GFD, and number of supplementary medical consultations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;On the basis of this prospective study, diagnosis of CD can be reliably performed without a duodenal biopsy in approximately 11% of cases.

A major challenge is the development and application of early and highly reliable diagnostic marker(s). Serum biomarkers, such as 'soluble mesothelin-related proteins' (SMRPs), is the most studied and frequently used in MM. However, the low sensitivity of SMRPs for early MM limits its value; therefore, additional biomarkers are required. In this study, two epigenetically regulated markers in MM (microRNA-126, miR-126, and methylated thrombomodulin promoter, Met-TM) were combined with SMRPs and evaluated as a potential strategy to detect MM at an early stage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MATERIALS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A total of 188 subjects, including 45 MM patients, 99 asbestos-exposed subjects, and 44 healthy controls were prospectively enrolled, serum samples collected, and serum levels of SMRPs, miR-126 and Met-TM evaluated. Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the diagnostic value of the three biomarkers. Using this approach, the performance of the '3-biomarker classifier' was tested by calculating the overall probability score of the MM and control samples, respectively, and the ROC curve was generated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;The combination of the three biomarkers was the best predictor to differentiate MM patients from asbestos-exposed subjects and healthy controls. The accuracy and cancer specificity was confirmed in a second validation cohort and lung cancer population. We propose that the combination of the two epigenetic biomarkers with SMRPs as a diagnosis for early MM overcomes the limitations of using SMRPs alone.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26431916?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maximova, Natalia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antonio, Pizzol</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marilena, Granzotto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rovere, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tamaro, Paolo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Complete remission of VZV reactivation treated with valganciclovir in a patient with total lymphocyte depletion and acute kidney injury after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APMIS</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APMIS</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acute Kidney Injury</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bone Marrow Transplantation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fatal Outcome</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ganciclovir</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Herpes Zoster</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Herpesvirus 3, Human</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Precursor Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia-Lymphoma</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Viral Load</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 Jan</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">123</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">77-80</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Varicella zoster virus (VZV), a threat for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients, is still one of the most common viral pathogens that affect these patients with a reported incidence ranging between 17% and 50% in the post transplantation period. Valganciclovir (V-GCV), a valine ester pro-drug of GCV orally administrable, has recently shown great activity against CMV infections, but there are no reports of its clinical efficacy against VZV. We here report a case history of a patient with positive serologic test for VZV, who underwent allogeneic HSCT and developed an atypical varicella-like illness. First-line therapy with foscarnet had to be discontinued due rapid development of renal impairment (creatinine: 2.60 mg/dL, urea: 130.6 mg/dL) and therefore was switched to V-GCV. The renal impairment and skin lesions of the patient fully recovered after few days of therapy, even though the patient had complete lymphocyte depletion. This is the first case of a patient with chickenpox-like illness treated successfully with V-GCV.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25131855?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parisi, Pasquale</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Verrotti, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Costa, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Striano, Pasquale</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanus, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carrozzi, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Raucci, Umberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Villa, Maria Pia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Belcastro, Vincenzo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diagnostic criteria currently proposed for &quot;ictal epileptic headache&quot;: Perspectives on strengths, weaknesses and pitfalls.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seizure</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seizure</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 Sep</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">31</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">56-63</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PURPOSE: &lt;/b&gt;When we published the diagnostic criteria for &quot;ictal epileptic headache&quot; in 2012, we deliberately and consciously chose to adopt restrictive criteria that probably underestimate the phenomenon, rather than spread panic among patients and physicians who are reluctant to accept this entity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Here we discuss four intriguing clinical cases to highlight why we believe, to this day, that it is necessary to follow these restrictive diagnostic criteria.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;EEG is not recommended as a routine examination for children diagnosed with headache, but it is mandatory and must be carried out promptly in cases of prolonged headache that does not respond to antimigraine drugs, if epilepsy is suspected or has been diagnosed previously. This is not a marginal or irrelevant question because possible isolated, non-motor, ictal manifestations should be taken into account before declaring that an epileptic patient is &quot;seizure free&quot; so as to ensure that any decision taken to suspend anticonvulsant therapy is safe.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26362378?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pascolo, Lorella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Borelli, Violetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Canzonieri, Vincenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gianoncelli, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Birarda, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bedolla, Diana E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salomè, Murielle</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vaccari, Lisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calligaro, Carla</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cotte, Marine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hesse, Bernhard</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Luisi, Fernando</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zabucchi, Giuliano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Melato, Mauro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rizzardi, Clara</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Differential protein folding and chemical changes in lung tissues exposed to asbestos or particulates.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sci Rep</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sci Rep</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12129</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Environmental and occupational inhalants may induce a large number of pulmonary diseases, with asbestos exposure being the most risky. The mechanisms are clearly related to chemical composition and physical and surface properties of materials. A combination of X-ray fluorescence (μXRF) and Fourier Transform InfraRed (μFTIR) microscopy was used to chemically characterize and compare asbestos bodies versus environmental particulates (anthracosis) in lung tissues from asbestos exposed and control patients. μXRF analyses revealed heterogeneously aggregated particles in the anthracotic structures, containing mainly Si, K, Al and Fe. Both asbestos and particulates alter lung iron homeostasis, with a more marked effect in asbestos exposure. μFTIR analyses revealed abundant proteins on asbestos bodies but not on anthracotic particles. Most importantly, the analyses demonstrated that the asbestos coating proteins contain high levels of β-sheet structures. The occurrence of conformational changes in the proteic component of the asbestos coating provides new insights into long-term asbestos effects.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style

was one of the first to recognize that inbreeding reduces evolutionary fitness. However, the effect of the more distant parental relatedness that is common in modern human populations is less well understood. Genomic data now allow us to investigate the effects of homozygosity on traits of public health importance by observing contiguous homozygous segments (runs of homozygosity), which are inferred to be homozygous along their complete length. Given the low levels of genome-wide homozygosity prevalent in most human populations, information is required on very large numbers of people to provide sufficient power. Here we use runs of homozygosity to study 16 health-related quantitative traits in 354,224 individuals from 102 cohorts, and find statistically significant associations between summed runs of homozygosity and four complex traits: height, forced expiratory lung volume in one second, general cognitive ability and educational attainment (P &lt; 1 × 10(-300), 2.1 × 10(-6), 2.5 × 10(-10) and 1.8 × 10(-10), respectively). In each case, increased homozygosity was associated with decreased trait value, equivalent to the offspring of first cousins being 1.2 cm shorter and having 10 months' less education. Similar effect sizes were found across four continental groups and populations with different degrees of genome-wide homozygosity, providing evidence that homozygosity, rather than confounding, directly contributes to phenotypic variance. Contrary to earlier reports in substantially smaller samples, no evidence was seen of an influence of genome-wide homozygosity on blood pressure and low density lipoprotein cholesterol, or ten other cardio-metabolic traits. Since directional dominance is predicted for traits under directional evolutionary selection, this study provides evidence that increased stature and cognitive function have been positively selected in human evolution, whereas many important risk factors for late-onset complex diseases may not have been.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7561</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26131930?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Santos, S M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Souza, C A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rabelo, K C N</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Souza, P R E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moura, R R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oliveira, T C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, S</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Distribution of forensic marker allelic frequencies in Pernambuco, Northestern Brazil.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genet Mol Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genet.

We examined the allele frequencies of 13 short tandem repeat loci (CFS1PO, D3S1358, D5S818, D7S820, D8S1179, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, D21S11, FGA, TH01, vWA, and TPOX), the minimum recommended by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and commonly used in forensic genetics laboratories in Brazil, in a sample of 609 unrelated individuals from all geographic regions of Pernambuco. The allele frequencies ranged from 5 to 47.2%. No significant differences for any loci analyzed were observed compared with other publications in other various regions of Brazil. Most of the markers observed were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The occurrence of the allele 47.2 (locus FGA) and alleles 35.1 and 39 (locus D21S11), also described in a single study of the Brazilian population, was observed. The other forensic parameters analyzed (matching probability, power of discrimination, polymorphic information content, paternity exclusion, complement factor I, observed heterozygosity, expected heterozygosity) indicated that the studied markers are very informative for human forensic identification purposes in the Pernambuco population.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25966202?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Granzotto, Marilena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Luppi, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giolo, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martinelli, Monica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zito, Gabriella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Borelli, Massimo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Effect of seminal leukocytes on in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection outcomes.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fertil Steril</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fertil.

Similarly, there were no significant differences between the two groups for implantation rate and clinical pregnancy rate. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the reproductive outcomes were not influenced by adjustment for female age, infertility diagnosis, number of previous attempts, treatment protocol (GnRH agonist or antagonist), assisted reproduction procedure (IVF or ICSI), and leukocytospermia. By profiling the proper Poisson regression models, no leukocytospermia cut-off value was able to identify the subjects at risk for oocyte fertilization or embryo cleavage failure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION(S): &lt;/b&gt;Using a flow cytometry method, we demonstrated that leukocytospermia does not significantly influence IVF or ICSI outcomes. The same results were obtained by using lower or higher cut-off values for leukocytospermia (from 0.2 to 2 × 10(6)/mL).&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25936234?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marsalli, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nastasio, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sciveres, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calvo, Pier Luigi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ramenghi, Ugo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gatti, Simona</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Albano, Veronica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lega, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maggiore, Giuseppe</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Efficacy of intravenous immunoglobulin therapy in giant cell hepatitis with autoimmune hemolytic anemia: A multicenter study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin Res Hepatol Gastroenterol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin Res Hepatol Gastroenterol</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 Jun 29</style></date></pub-dates></dates><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ENG</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;Giant cell hepatitis with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (GCH-AHA) is a rare disease of infancy, of possible autoimmune mechanism with poor prognosis due to its scarce response to immunosuppressive drugs. The aim of this retrospective multicenter study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) treatment in inducing and maintaining remission of the liver disease, in patients with GCH-AHA.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Seven children with GCH-AHA, four newly diagnosed, and three in relapse, being treated with different therapies, received one to three IVIg infusions (0.5 to 2g/kg) in association with other immunosuppressive drugs. Subsequently five of them received monthly sequential IVIg infusions (mean 13.4, range 7-24).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;IVIg infusions as first-line therapy associated with prednisone and other immunosuppressive drugs significantly (P=0.04) reduced the aminotransferase activity in all patients and normalized prothombin activity in the only patient with severe liver dysfunction. Sequential monthly IVIg infusions determined a steroid-sparing effect and allowed a complete or partial remission in all patients, although with temporary efficacy, since relapse of the hemolytic anemia and/or of liver disease occurred in all patients. IVIg infusions were associated with mild side effects in two patients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;IVIg infusion can be safely and effectively administered in patients with severe GCH-AHA at diagnosis, or in case of relapse, in association with other immunosuppressive drugs. Repeated IVIg infusions may help maintain remission, however, due to their temporary efficacy, they should not be routinely employed.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26138133?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Pieri, Carlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vuch, Josef</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Martino, Eleonora</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bianco, Anna M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Athanasakis, Emmanouil</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bortot, Barbara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taddio, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Severini, Giovanni M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic profiling of autoinflammatory disorders in patients with periodic fever: a prospective study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Rheumatol Online J</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Rheumatol Online J</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carrier Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cytoskeletal Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Familial Mediterranean Fever</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fever</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene Expression Profiling</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genotype</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hereditary Autoinflammatory Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Intracellular Signaling Peptides and Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Logistic Models</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mutation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phosphotransferases (Alcohol Group Acceptor)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prospective Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Receptors, Tumor Necrosis Factor, Type I</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Syndrome</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Periodic fever syndromes (PFS) are an emerging group of autoinflammatory disorders. Clinical overlap exists and multiple genetic analyses may be needed to assist diagnosis. We evaluated the diagnostic value of a 5-gene sequencing panel (5GP) in patients with undiagnosed PFS.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Simultaneous double strand Sanger sequencing of MEFV, MVK, TNFRSF1A, NLRP3, NLRP12 genes was performed in 42 patients with unexplained PFS. Clinical features were correlated with genetic results.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;None of 42 patients analyzed displayed a causative genotype. However, single or multiple genetic variants of uncertain significance were detected in 24 subjects. Only in 5 subjects a definite diagnosis was made by taking into account both genetic and clinical data (2 TRAPS syndrome; 2 FMF; 1 FCAS). Statistical analysis showed that patients carrying genetic variants in one or more of the five selected genes displayed a significantly lower response to glucocorticoids compared with subjects who had completely negative genetic results.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The sequencing of multiple genes is of little help in the diagnostics of PFS and can often lead to results of uncertain interpretation, thus the clinically driven sequencing of single genes should remain the recommended approach. However, the presence of single or multiple genetic variants of uncertain significance, even if not allowing any specific diagnosis, correlated with a poorer response to glucocorticoids, possibly indicating a multifactorial subgroup of PFS with differential response to pharmacological treatment.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

To understand the genetic basis of obesity better, here we conduct a genome-wide association study and Metabochip meta-analysis of body mass index (BMI), a measure commonly used to define obesity and assess adiposity, in up to 339,224 individuals. This analysis identifies 97 BMI-associated loci (P &lt; 5 × 10(-8)), 56 of which are novel. Five loci demonstrate clear evidence of several independent association signals, and many loci have significant effects on other metabolic phenotypes. The 97 loci account for ∼2.7% of BMI variation, and genome-wide estimates suggest that common variation accounts for &gt;20% of BMI variation. Pathway analyses provide strong support for a role of the central nervous system in obesity susceptibility and implicate new genes and pathways, including those related to synaptic function, glutamate signalling, insulin secretion/action, energy metabolism, lipid biology and adipogenesis.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7538</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25673413?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sidore, Carlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Busonero, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maschio, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Porcu, Eleonora</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Naitza, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zoledziewska, Magdalena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mulas, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pistis, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Steri, Maristella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Danjou, Fabrice</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kwong, Alan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ortega Del Vecchyo, Vicente Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chiang, Charleston W K</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bragg-Gresham, Jennifer</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pitzalis, Maristella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nagaraja, Ramaiah</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tarrier, Brendan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brennan, Christine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Uzzau, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fuchsberger, Christian</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Atzeni, Rossano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reinier, Frederic</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berutti, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Huang, Jie</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Timpson, Nicholas J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toniolo, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Malerba, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dedoussis, George</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zeggini, Eleftheria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soranzo, Nicole</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jones, Chris</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lyons, Robert</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Angius, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kang, Hyun M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Novembre, John</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sanna, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schlessinger, David</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cucca, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Abecasis, Goncalo R</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genome sequencing elucidates Sardinian genetic architecture and augments association analyses for lipid and blood inflammatory markers.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nat Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nat.

Furthermore, ∼76,000 variants common in our sample (frequency &gt;5%) are rare elsewhere (&lt;0.5% in the 1000 Genomes Project). We assessed the impact of these variants on circulating lipid levels and five inflammatory biomarkers. We observe 14 signals, including 2 major new loci, for lipid levels and 19 signals, including 2 new loci, for inflammatory markers.

Understanding what drives its flavor has been a quest for decades but much is still unknown and will be determined at least in part by individual taste preferences. Recently studies in the genetics of taste have uncovered the role of different genes in the determination of food preferences giving new insight on its physiology. In this context we have performed a genome-wide association study on red and white wine liking using three isolated populations collected in Italy, and replicated our results on two additional populations coming from the Netherland and Central Asia for a total of 3885 samples. We have found a significant association (P=2.1 × 10(-8)) between white wine liking and rs9276975:C&gt;T a polymorphism in the HLA-DOA gene encoding a non-canonical MHC II molecule, which regulates other MHC II molecules. The same association was also found with red wine liking (P=8.3 × 10(-6)). Sex-separated analysis have also revealed that the effect of HLA-DOA is twice as large in women as compared to men suggesting an interaction between this polymorphism and gender. Our results are one of the first examples of genome-wide association between liking of a commonly consumed food and gene variants. Moreover, our results suggest a role of the MHC system in the determination of food preferences opening new insight in this field in general.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25758996?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vuckovic, Dragana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dawson, Sally</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scheffer, Deborah I</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rantanen, Taina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morgan, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Stazio, Mariateresa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vozzi, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nutile, Teresa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Concas, Maria P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biino, Ginevra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nolan, Lisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bahl, Aileen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Loukola, Anu</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Viljanen, Anne</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Davis, Adrian</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ciullo, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corey, David P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pirastu, Mario</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girotto, Giorgia</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genome-wide association analysis on normal hearing function identifies PCDH20 and SLC28A3 as candidates for hearing function and loss.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum Mol Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum.

Although many new genes contributing to deafness have been identified, very little is known about genes/variants modulating the normal range of hearing ability. To fill this gap, we performed a two-stage meta-analysis on hearing thresholds (tested at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 kHz) and on pure-tone averages (low-, medium- and high-frequency thresholds grouped) in several isolated populations from Italy and Central Asia (total N = 2636). Here, we detected two genome-wide significant loci close to PCDH20 and SLC28A3 (top hits: rs78043697, P = 4.71E-10 and rs7032430, P = 2.39E-09, respectively). For both loci, we sought replication in two independent cohorts: B58C from the UK (N = 5892) and FITSA from Finland (N = 270). Both loci were successfully replicated at a nominal level of significance (P &lt; 0.05). In order to confirm our quantitative findings, we carried out RT-PCR and reported RNA-Seq data, which showed that both genes are expressed in mouse inner ear, especially in hair cells, further suggesting them as good candidates for modulatory genes in the auditory system. Sequencing data revealed no functional variants in the coding region of PCDH20 or SLC28A3, suggesting that variation in regulatory sequences may affect expression. Overall, these results contribute to a better understanding of the complex mechanisms underlying human hearing function.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26188009?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Noetzli, Leila</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lo, Richard W</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lee-Sherick, Alisa B</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Callaghan, Michael</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Noris, Patrizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savoia, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rajpurkar, Madhvi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jones, Kenneth</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gowan, Katherine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Balduini, Carlo L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecci, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gnan, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Rocco, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Doubek, Michael</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Li, Ling</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lu, Lily</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leung, Richard</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Landolt-Marticorena, Carolina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hunger, Stephen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heller, Paula</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gutierrez-Hartmann, Arthur</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Xiayuan, Liang</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pluthero, Fred G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rowley, Jesse W</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Weyrich, Andrew S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kahr, Walter H A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Porter, Christopher C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Paola, Jorge</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Germline mutations in ETV6 are associated with thrombocytopenia, red cell macrocytosis and predisposition to lymphoblastic leukemia.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nat Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nat.

We identified a family with autosomal dominant thrombocytopenia, high erythrocyte mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and two occurrences of B cell-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Whole-exome sequencing identified a heterozygous single-nucleotide change in ETV6 (ets variant 6), c.641C&gt;T, encoding a p.Pro214Leu substitution in the central domain, segregating with thrombocytopenia and elevated MCV. A screen of 23 families with similar phenotypes identified 2 with ETV6 mutations. One family also had a mutation encoding p.Pro214Leu and one individual with ALL. The other family had a c.1252A&gt;G transition producing a p.Arg418Gly substitution in the DNA-binding domain, with alternative splicing and exon skipping. Functional characterization of these mutations showed aberrant cellular localization of mutant and endogenous ETV6, decreased transcriptional repression and altered megakaryocyte maturation. Our findings underscore a key role for ETV6 in platelet formation and leukemia predisposition.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default"

Current estimates of cancer burden in individual countries and regions are necessary to inform local cancer control strategies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;To estimate mortality, incidence, years lived with disability (YLDs), years of life lost (YLLs), and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) for 28 cancers in 188 countries by sex from 1990 to 2013.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;EVIDENCE REVIEW: &lt;/b&gt;The general methodology of the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2013 study was used. Cancer registries were the source for cancer incidence data as well as mortality incidence (MI) ratios. Sources for cause of death data include vital registration system data, verbal autopsy studies, and other sources. The MI ratios were used to transform incidence data to mortality estimates and cause of death estimates to incidence estimates. Cancer prevalence was estimated using MI ratios as surrogates for survival data; YLDs were calculated by multiplying prevalence estimates with disability weights, which were derived from population-based surveys; YLLs were computed by multiplying the number of estimated cancer deaths at each age with a reference life expectancy; and DALYs were calculated as the sum of YLDs and YLLs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;In 2013 there were 14.9 million incident cancer cases, 8.2 million deaths, and 196.3 million DALYs. Prostate cancer was the leading cause for cancer incidence (1.4 million) for men and breast cancer for women (1.8 million). Tracheal, bronchus, and lung (TBL) cancer was the leading cause for cancer death in men and women, with 1.6 million deaths. For men, TBL cancer was the leading cause of DALYs (24.9 million). For women, breast cancer was the leading cause of DALYs (13.1 million). Age-standardized incidence rates (ASIRs) per 100 000 and age-standardized death rates (ASDRs) per 100 000 for both sexes in 2013 were higher in developing vs developed countries for stomach cancer (ASIR, 17 vs 14; ASDR, 15 vs 11), liver cancer (ASIR, 15 vs 7; ASDR, 16 vs 7), esophageal cancer (ASIR, 9 vs 4; ASDR, 9 vs 4), cervical cancer (ASIR, 8 vs 5; ASDR, 4 vs 2), lip and oral cavity cancer (ASIR, 7 vs 6; ASDR, 2 vs 2), and nasopharyngeal cancer (ASIR, 1.5 vs 0.4; ASDR, 1.2 vs 0.3). Between 1990 and 2013, ASIRs for all cancers combined (except nonmelanoma skin cancer and Kaposi sarcoma) increased by more than 10% in 113 countries and decreased by more than 10% in 12 of 188 countries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: &lt;/b&gt;Cancer poses a major threat to public health worldwide, and incidence rates have increased in most countries since 1990. The trend is a particular threat to developing nations with health systems that are ill-equipped to deal with complex and expensive cancer treatments. The annual update on the Global Burden of Cancer will provide all stakeholders with timely estimates to guide policy efforts in cancer prevention, screening, treatment, and palliation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;The Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factor study 2013 (GBD 2013) is the first of a series of annual updates of the GBD. Risk factor quantification, particularly of modifiable risk factors, can help to identify emerging threats to population health and opportunities for prevention. The GBD 2013 provides a timely opportunity to update the comparative risk assessment with new data for exposure, relative risks, and evidence on the appropriate counterfactual risk distribution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Attributable deaths, years of life lost, years lived with disability, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) have been estimated for 79 risks or clusters of risks using the GBD 2010 methods. Risk-outcome pairs meeting explicit evidence criteria were assessed for 188 countries for the period 1990-2013 by age and sex using three inputs: risk exposure, relative risks, and the theoretical minimum risk exposure level (TMREL). Risks are organised into a hierarchy with blocks of behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks at the first level of the hierarchy. The next level in the hierarchy includes nine clusters of related risks and two individual risks, with more detail provided at levels 3 and 4 of the hierarchy. Compared with GBD 2010, six new risk factors have been added: handwashing practices, occupational exposure to trichloroethylene, childhood wasting, childhood stunting, unsafe sex, and low glomerular filtration rate. For most risks, data for exposure were synthesised with a Bayesian meta-regression method, DisMod-MR 2.0, or spatial-temporal Gaussian process regression. Relative risks were based on meta-regressions of published cohort and intervention studies. Attributable burden for clusters of risks and all risks combined took into account evidence on the mediation of some risks such as high body-mass index (BMI) through other risks such as high systolic blood pressure and high cholesterol.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;All risks combined account for 57·2% (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 55·8-58·5) of deaths and 41·6% (40·1-43·0) of DALYs. Risks quantified account for 87·9% (86·5-89·3) of cardiovascular disease DALYs, ranging to a low of 0% for neonatal disorders and neglected tropical diseases and malaria. In terms of global DALYs in 2013, six risks or clusters of risks each caused more than 5% of DALYs: dietary risks accounting for 11·3 million deaths and 241·4 million DALYs, high systolic blood pressure for 10·4 million deaths and 208·1 million DALYs, child and maternal malnutrition for 1·7 million deaths and 176·9 million DALYs, tobacco smoke for 6·1 million deaths and 143·5 million DALYs, air pollution for 5·5 million deaths and 141·5 million DALYs, and high BMI for 4·4 million deaths and 134·0 million DALYs. Risk factor patterns vary across regions and countries and with time. In sub-Saharan Africa, the leading risk factors are child and maternal malnutrition, unsafe sex, and unsafe water, sanitation, and handwashing. In women, in nearly all countries in the Americas, north Africa, and the Middle East, and in many other high-income countries, high BMI is the leading risk factor, with high systolic blood pressure as the leading risk in most of Central and Eastern Europe and south and east Asia. For men, high systolic blood pressure or tobacco use are the leading risks in nearly all high-income countries, in north Africa and the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. For men and women, unsafe sex is the leading risk in a corridor from Kenya to South Africa.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERPRETATION: &lt;/b&gt;Behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks can explain half of global mortality and more than one-third of global DALYs providing many opportunities for prevention. Of the larger risks, the attributable burden of high BMI has increased in the past 23 years. In view of the prominence of behavioural risk factors, behavioural and social science research on interventions for these risks should be strengthened. Many prevention and primary care policy options are available now to act on key risks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FUNDING: &lt;/b&gt;Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10010</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

together all available epidemiological data using a coherent measurement framework, standardised estimation methods, and transparent data sources to enable comparisons of health loss over time and across causes, age-sex groups, and countries. The GBD can be used to generate summary measures such as disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) and healthy life expectancy (HALE) that make possible comparative assessments of broad epidemiological patterns across countries and time. These summary measures can also be used to quantify the component of variation in epidemiology that is related to sociodemographic development.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We used the published GBD 2013 data for age-specific mortality, years of life lost due to premature mortality (YLLs), and years lived with disability (YLDs) to calculate DALYs and HALE for 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2013 for 188 countries. We calculated HALE using the Sullivan method; 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs) represent uncertainty in age-specific death rates and YLDs per person for each country, age, sex, and year. We estimated DALYs for 306 causes for each country as the sum of YLLs and YLDs; 95% UIs represent uncertainty in YLL and YLD rates. We quantified patterns of the epidemiological transition with a composite indicator of sociodemographic status, which we constructed from income per person, average years of schooling after age 15 years, and the total fertility rate and mean age of the population. We applied hierarchical regression to DALY rates by cause across countries to decompose variance related to the sociodemographic status variable, country, and time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;Worldwide, from 1990 to 2013, life expectancy at birth rose by 6·2 years (95% UI 5·6-6·6), from 65·3 years (65·0-65·6) in 1990 to 71·5 years (71·0-71·9) in 2013, HALE at birth rose by 5·4 years (4·9-5·8), from 56·9 years (54·5-59·1) to 62·3 years (59·7-64·8), total DALYs fell by 3·6% (0·3-7·4), and age-standardised DALY rates per 100 000 people fell by 26·7% (24·6-29·1). For communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional disorders, global DALY numbers, crude rates, and age-standardised rates have all declined between 1990 and 2013, whereas for non-communicable diseases, global DALYs have been increasing, DALY rates have remained nearly constant, and age-standardised DALY rates declined during the same period. From 2005 to 2013, the number of DALYs increased for most specific non-communicable diseases, including cardiovascular diseases and neoplasms, in addition to dengue, food-borne trematodes, and leishmaniasis; DALYs decreased for nearly all other causes. By 2013, the five leading causes of DALYs were ischaemic heart disease, lower respiratory infections, cerebrovascular disease, low back and neck pain, and road injuries. Sociodemographic status explained more than 50% of the variance between countries and over time for diarrhoea, lower respiratory infections, and other common infectious diseases; maternal disorders; neonatal disorders; nutritional deficiencies; other communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional diseases; musculoskeletal disorders; and other non-communicable diseases. However, sociodemographic status explained less than 10% of the variance in DALY rates for cardiovascular diseases; chronic respiratory diseases; cirrhosis; diabetes, urogenital, blood, and endocrine diseases; unintentional injuries; and self-harm and interpersonal violence. Predictably, increased sociodemographic status was associated with a shift in burden from YLLs to YLDs, driven by declines in YLLs and increases in YLDs from musculoskeletal disorders, neurological disorders, and mental and substance use disorders. In most country-specific estimates, the increase in life expectancy was greater than that in HALE. Leading causes of DALYs are highly variable across countries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERPRETATION: &lt;/b&gt;Global health is improving. Population growth and ageing have driven up numbers of DALYs, but crude rates have remained relatively constant, showing that progress in health does not mean fewer demands on health systems. The notion of an epidemiological transition--in which increasing sociodemographic status brings structured change in disease burden--is useful, but there is tremendous variation in burden of disease that is not associated with sociodemographic status. This further underscores the need for country-specific assessments of DALYs and HALE to appropriately inform health policy decisions and attendant actions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FUNDING: &lt;/b&gt;Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10009</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26321261?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pederiva, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guida, Edoardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maschio, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rigamonti, Waifro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gregori, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Codrich, Daniela</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Handlebar injury in children: The hidden danger.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Surgery</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Surgery</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 Sep 18</style></date></pub-dates></dates><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ENG</style></language><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26387787?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scrimin, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wiesenfeld, Uri</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Galati, Emanuele F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hysteroscopic chasing for endometrial cancer in a low-risk population: risks of overinvestigation.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch Gynecol Obstet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch.

According to their medical history only low-risk women entered the study.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;A total of 1070 patients entered the study. The main outcome measure was the appropriateness of the indications for hysteroscopy. Appropriateness was assessed on the basis of guidelines of scientific societies and histologic report. According to the algorithm developed for appropriateness, 44 % of procedures resulted in being inappropriate. In reproductive-aged women 57 % of hysteroscopies were inappropriate. In postmenopausal women inappropriate hysteroscopies were 45 %. In reproductive-aged women, the reasons for inappropriateness were: absence of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) or AUB without a trial of progestin therapy. In postmenopausal women, the reasons for inappropriateness were: ultrasound report of endometrial thickening or polyp without bleeding.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Hysteroscopy is often recommended for inappropriate indications. More evidence is needed to identify the risks of overinvestigation, overdiagnosis, and related overtreatment and to better identify the threshold beyond which benefits are likely to outweigh harms.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26315472?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tognon, Mauro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Luppi, Mario</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corallini, Alfredo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taronna, Angelo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barozzi, Patrizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rotondo, John Charles</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comar, Manola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Casali, Maria Vittoria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bovenzi, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Agostino, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vinante, Fabrizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rigo, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrarini, Isacco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbanti-Brodano, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martini, Fernanda</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mazzoni, Elisa</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Immunologic evidence of a strong association between non-Hodgkin lymphoma and simian virus 40.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cancer</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cancer</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antibodies, Viral</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Capsid Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polyomavirus Infections</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seroepidemiologic Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Simian virus 40</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tumor Virus Infections</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 Aug 1</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">121</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2618-26</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), the most common cancer of the lymphatic system, is of unknown etiology. The identification of etiologic factors in the onset of NHL is a key event that could facilitate the prevention and cure of this malignancy. Simian virus 40 (SV40) has been considered an oncogenic agent in the onset/progression of NHL.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;In this study, an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with 2 synthetic peptides that mimic SV40 antigens of viral capsid proteins 1 to 3 was employed to detect specific antibodies against SV40. Serum samples were taken from 2 distinct cohorts of NHL-affected patients (NHL1 [n = 89] and NHL2 [n = 61]) along with controls represented by oncologic patients affected by breast cancer (BC; n = 78) and undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (UNPC; n = 64) and 3 different cohorts of healthy subjects (HSs; HS1 [n = 130], HS2 [n = 83], and HS3 [n = 87]).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Immunologic data indicated that in serum samples from NHL patients, antibodies against SV40 mimotopes were detectable with a prevalence of 40% in NHL1 patients and with a prevalence of 43% in NHL2 patients. In HSs of the same median age as NHL patients, the prevalence was 16% for the HS1 group (57 years) and 14% for the HS2 group (65 years). The difference was statistically significant (P &lt; .0001 and P &lt; .001). Interestingly, the difference between NHL1/NHL2 patients and BC patients (40%/43% vs 15%, P &lt; .001) and between NHL1/NHL2 patients and UNPC patients (40%/43% vs 25%, P &lt; .05) was significant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our data indicate a strong association between NHL and SV40 and thus a need for innovative therapeutic approaches for this hematologic malignancy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25877010?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Huang, Jie</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Howie, Bryan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">McCarthy, Shane</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Memari, Yasin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Walter, Klaudia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Min, Josine L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Danecek, Petr</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Malerba, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trabetti, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zheng, Hou-Feng</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gambaro, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Richards, J Brent</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Durbin, Richard</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Timpson, Nicholas J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marchini, Jonathan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soranzo, Nicole</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">UK10K Consortium</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Improved imputation of low-frequency and rare variants using the UK10K haplotype reference panel.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nat Commun</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nat Commun</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8111</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Imputing genotypes from reference panels created by whole-genome sequencing (WGS) provides a cost-effective strategy for augmenting the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) content of genome-wide arrays. The UK10K Cohorts project has generated a data set of 3,781 whole genomes sequenced at low depth (average 7x), aiming to exhaustively characterize genetic variation down to 0.1% minor allele frequency in the British population. Here we demonstrate the value of this resource for improving imputation accuracy at rare and low-frequency variants in both a UK and an Italian population. We show that large increases in imputation accuracy can be achieved by re-phasing WGS reference panels after initial genotype calling. We also present a method for combining WGS panels to improve variant coverage and downstream imputation accuracy, which we illustrate by integrating 7,562 WGS haplotypes from the UK10K project with 2,184 haplotypes from the 1000 Genomes Project. Finally, we introduce a novel approximation that maintains speed without sacrificing imputation accuracy for rare variants.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26368830?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faganello, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fisicaro, Maurizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Russo, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iorio, Anita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mazzone, Carmine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grande, Eliana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humar, Franco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cherubini, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pandullo, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbati, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tarantini, Luigi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benettoni, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pozzi, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Lenarda, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cioffi, Giovanni</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Insights from Cardiac Mechanics after Three Decades from Successfully Repaired Aortic Coarctation.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Congenit Heart Dis</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Congenit Heart Dis</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 Nov 11</style></date></pub-dates></dates><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ENG</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND AND AIMS: &lt;/b&gt;Patients who underwent a successful repair of the aortic coarctation show chronic hyperdynamic state and normal left ventricular (LV) geometry; however, there are few data regarding the LV systolic function in the long term. Accordingly, we assessed LV systolic mechanics and factors associated with LV systolic dysfunction (LVSD) in patients with repaired CoA.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Clinical and echocardiographic data from 19 repaired CoA were analyzed 28 ± 13 years after surgery. Stress-corrected midwall shortening (sc-MS) and mitral annular peak systolic velocity (S') were analyzed as indexes of LV circumferential and longitudinal systolic function, respectively. Echocardiographic data of CoA patients were compared with 19 patients matched for age and hypertension and 38 healthy controls. Sc-MS was considered impaired if &lt;89%, S' if &lt;8.5 cm/s (10th percentiles of healthy controls, respectively).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;There were no statistical differences between study groups in LV volumes, mass and geometry. LV ejection fraction and Sc-MS were similar in all groups, however, CoA group had a significantly lower peak S' in comparison with matched and healthy controls (7.1 ± 1.3, 10.3 ± 1.9, and 11.1 ± 1.5, respectively; all P &lt; 0.001). Prevalence of longitudinal LVSD defined as low S' was 84% in CoA, 13% in matched, and 5% in healthy control group (all P&lt;0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that low peak S' was independently related to higher E/E' ratio and the presence of CoA.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Patients who underwent a successful repair of CoA commonly show asymptomatic longitudinal LVSD associated with worse LV diastolic function in the long-term follow-up.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26554640?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tisato, Veronica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Perri, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rimondi, Erika</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Melloni, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lamberti, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milani, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Secchiero, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zauli, Giorgio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kinetic Profiles of Inflammatory Mediators in the Conjunctival Sac Fluid of Patients upon Photorefractive Keratectomy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mediators Inflamm</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mediators Inflamm.</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">942948</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) represents a therapeutic option to remodel corneal stroma and to compensate refractive errors, which involves inflammatory and/or regenerative processes. In this context, the modulation of cytokines/chemokines in the conjunctival sac fluid and their role in the maintenance of the corneal microenvironment during the healing process upon refractive procedures has not been deeply investigated. In this study, serial samples of conjunctival sac fluid of patients (n = 25) undergoing PRK were harvested before and at different time points after surgery. The levels of 29 cytokines/chemokines/growth factors involved in inflammatory/immune processes were measured with a multiplex array system. The results have firstly highlighted the different pattern of cytokine expression between the microenvironment at the anterior surface of the eye and the systemic circulation. More importantly, the kinetic of modulation of cytokines/chemokines at the conjunctival level following PRK revealed that while the majority of cytokines/chemokines showed a significant decrease, MCP-1 emerged in light of its pronounced and significant increase soon after PRK and during the follow-up. This methodological approach has highlighted the role of MCP-1 in the healing process following PRK and has shown a potential for the identification of expression/modulation of soluble factors for biomarker profiling in ocular surface diseases.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26525345?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celsi, Fulvio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piscianz, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Romano, Maurizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Knockdown of MVK does not lead to changes in NALP3 expression or activation.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Inflamm (Lond)</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Inflamm (Lond)</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Mutations in the Mevalonate Kinase gene (MVK) are causes of a rare autoinflammatory disease: Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency and its more acute manifestation, Mevalonic Aciduria. The latter is characterized, among other features, by neuroinflammation, developmental delay and ataxia, due to failed cerebellar development or neuronal death through chronic inflammation. Pathogenesis of neuroinflammation in Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency and Mevalonic Aciduria has not yet been completely clarified, however different research groups have been suggesting the inflammasome complex as the key factor in the disease development. A strategy to mimic this disease is blocking the mevalonate pathway, using HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (Statins), while knock-out mice for Mevalonate Kinase are non-vital and their hemyzygous (i.e only one copy of gene preserved) littermate display almost no pathological features.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;We sought to generate a murine cellular model closely resembling the pathogenic conditions found in vivo, by direct silencing of Mevalonate Kinase gene. Knockdown of Mevalonate Kinase in a murine microglial cellular model (BV-2 cells) results in neither augmented NALP3 expression nor increase of apoptosis. On the contrary, statin treatment of BV-2 cells produces an increase both in Mevalonate Kinase and NALP3 expression.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;MKD deficiency could be due or affected by protein accumulation leading to NALP3 activation, opening novel questions about strategies to tackle this disease.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

We report a dual strategy in ∼70,000 women to identify common and low-frequency protein-coding variation associated with age at natural menopause (ANM). We identified 44 regions with common variants, including two regions harboring additional rare missense alleles of large effect. We found enrichment of signals in or near genes involved in delayed puberty, highlighting the first molecular links between the onset and end of reproductive lifespan. Pathway analyses identified major association with DNA damage response (DDR) genes, including the first common coding variant in BRCA1 associated with any complex trait. Mendelian randomization analyses supported a causal effect of later ANM on breast cancer risk (∼6% increase in risk per year; P = 3 × 10(-14)), likely mediated by prolonged sex hormone exposure rather than DDR mechanisms.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26414677?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carbone, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Burger, Fabienne</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Roversi, Gloria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tamborino, Carmine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Casetta, Ilaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seraceni, Silva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trentini, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Padroni, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bertolotto, Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dallegri, Franco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mach, François</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fainardi, Enrico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montecucco, Fabrizio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leptin/adiponectin ratio predicts poststroke neurological outcome.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur J Clin Invest</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur.

However, the potential role of these molecules in postischaemic brain injury remains largely unknown.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We performed a substudy analysis on nonobese patients with first atherothrombotic stroke (n = 35) from a recently published prospective cohort. Primary endpoint was to investigate the predictive value of serum leptin/adiponectin ratio on neurological recovery at 90 days after AIS. The secondary endpoint was the predictive value of serum adipokine levels of clinical and radiological outcomes at a shorter follow-up (at days 1 and 7 after AIS). The radiological evaluation included ischaemic lesion volume and haemorrhagic transformation (HT). The clinical examination was based on National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and modified Rankin Scale (mRS).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;At day 1 after AIS, serum leptin and leptin/adiponectin ratio were increased and inversely correlated with both radiological and clinical parameters at all follow-up time points. Once identified the best cut-off points by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, risk analysis showed that higher circulating leptin improved neurological recovery at day 90. In addition, leptin/adiponectin ratio maintained statistical significance after adjustment for age, gender and thrombolysis, also predicting the occurrence of HT in the first 7 days after AIS (adjusted OR 0·15 [95% CI 0·03-0·83); P = 0·030]).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Higher leptin/adiponectin ratio at day 1 predicted better neurological outcomes in patients with atherothrombotic AIS and might be potentially useful as a prognostic biomarker of the disease.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26381386?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cipolat Mis, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Truccolo, I</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ravaioli, V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cocchi, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gangeri, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mosconi, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Drace, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pomicino, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paradiso, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Paoli, P</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italian Cancer Patient Education Group</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Making patient centered care a reality: a survey of patient educational programs in Italian Cancer Research and Care Institutes.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC Health Serv Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC Health Serv Res</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">298</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Educational intervention represents an essential element of care for cancer patients; while several single institutions develop their own patient education (PE) programs on cancer, little information is available on the effective existence of PE programs at the level of research and care institutes. In Italy such institutes--Istituti di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico--are appointed by the Ministry of Health, and 11 (Cancer Research &amp; Care Istitute-CRCI) of the 48 are specific for cancer on the basis of specific requirements regarding cancer care, research and education. Therefore, they represent an ideal and homogeneous model through which to investigate PE policies and activities throughout the country. The objective of this study was to assess PE activities in Italian CRCI.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We carried out a survey on PE strategies and services through a questionnaire. Four key points were investigated: a) PE as a cancer care priority, b) activities that are routinely part of PE, c) real involvement of the patients, and d) involvement of healthcare workers in PE activities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Most CRCI (85%) completed the survey. All reported having ongoing PE activities, and 4 of the 11 considered PE an institutional activity. More than 90% of CRCI organize classes and prepare PE handouts, while other PE activities (e.g., Cancer Information Services, mutual support groups) are less frequently part of institutional PE programs. Patients are frequently involved in the organization and preparation of educational activities on the basis of their own needs. Various PE activities are carried out for caregivers in 8 (73%) out of 11 institutes. Finally, health care workers have an active role in the organization of PE programs, although nurses take part in these activities in only half of CRCI and pharmacists are seldom included.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The information arising from our research constitutes a necessary framework to identify areas of development and to design new strategies and standards to disseminate the culture of PE. This may ultimately help and stimulate the establishment of institutional integrated PE programs, including policies and interventions that can benefit a significant proportion of cancer patients.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26223861?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app

recur with malignant components or as teratoma, and in a small group of patients prognosis could be fatal. After the first Italian study, we collected cases of teratoma, alongside the protocol for malignant germ cell tumors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PROCEDURE: &lt;/b&gt;Patients with teratoma were collected from 2004 to 2014. Teratomas were classified according to the WHO classifications, as mature and immature. Patients with pathological aFP and/or bHCG, and those with a malignant germ cell component were not included.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The study enrolled 219 patients (150 mature, 69 immature teratomas) with a median age at diagnosis of 42 months. The primary sites involved were: 118 gonadal and 101 extragonadal teratomas. Two females with ovarian teratoma had a positive family history. Complete and incomplete surgeries were performed in 85% and 9% of cases. Seventeen events occurred: six females had a second metachronous tumor (5 contralateral ovarian teratoma, 1 adrenal neuroblastoma) and 11 teratomas relapsed/progressed (3 mature, 8 immature teratomas). Two patients died, one of progressive immature teratoma and one of surgical complications. At a median follow up of 68 months, the event-free, relapse-free, and overall survival rates were 90.6%, 94.3%, 98.6%, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Teratomas show a good prognosis, especially the mature ones: surgery and follow-up remain the standard approach. Incomplete surgery in immature teratoma is the group at greatest risk of relapse. Bilateral ovarian tumors are a possibility, and the rare family predisposition to ovarian mature teratoma warrants further analyses.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal"

serum urate levels, genome-wide, in up to 42569 participants. Both stratified genome-wide association (GWAS) analyses, in lean, overweight and obese individuals, and regression-type analyses in a non BMI-stratified overall sample were performed. The former did not uncover any novel locus with a major main effect, but supported modulation of effects for some known and potentially new urate loci. The latter highlighted a SNP at RBFOX3 reaching genome-wide significant level (effect size 0.014, 95% CI 0.008-0.02, Pinter= 2.6 x 10-8). Two top loci in interaction term analyses, RBFOX3 and ERO1LB-EDARADD, also displayed suggestive differences in main effect size between the lean and obese strata. All top ranking loci for urate effect differences between BMI categories were novel and most had small magnitude but opposite direction effects between strata. They include the locus RBMS1-TANK (men, Pdifflean-overweight= 4.7 x 10-8), a region that has been associated with several obesity related traits, and TSPYL5 (men, Pdifflean-overweight= 9.1 x 10-8), regulating adipocytes-produced estradiol. The top-ranking known urate loci was ABCG2, the strongest known gout risk locus, with an effect halved in obese compared to lean men (Pdifflean-obese= 2 x 10-4). Finally, pathway analysis suggested a role for N-glycan biosynthesis as a prominent urate-associated pathway in the lean stratum. These results illustrate a potentially powerful way to monitor changes occurring in obesogenic environment.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25811787?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schreiber, Silvana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ghirardo, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minen, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taddio, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jaber, Mohamad</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rizzello, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nasal irrigation with saline solution significantly improves oxygen saturation in infants with bronchiolitis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Paediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Paediatr.</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 Nov 26</style></date></pub-dates></dates><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ENG</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AIM: &lt;/b&gt;Published guidelines do not recommend nasal irrigation in bronchiolitis, but it is common practice in Italy, despite a lack of data on its benefits or adverse effects. This single-blind, multicentre, randomised controlled trial compared nasal irrigation using either isotonic 0.9% sodium chloride or hypertonic 3% sodium chloride with simple supportive care in infants with bronchiolitis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHOD: &lt;/b&gt;We randomly assigned 133 Infants up one year of age, who were admitted to the emergency department with bronchiolitis and an oxygen saturation (SpO2) of between 88-94%, to the isotonic (n=47), hypertonic (n=44) or standard care (n=42) groups. Variations in SpO2 and the wheeze, air exchange, respiratory rate, muscle use (WARM) respiratory distress score were recorded at zero, five, 15, 20 and 50 minutes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Five minutes after the intervention, the median SpO2 value (95%) in the isotonic group was higher than both the hypertonic (94%) and the standard care (93%) groups. The differences between the isotonic and standard treatment groups were statistically significant at each time point, while the hypertonic group only reached significantly higher values after 50 minutes. However, the WARM score did not improve.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;A single nasal irrigation with saline solution significantly improved oxygen saturation in infants with bronchiolitis.

outcomes, independent of overall adiposity. To increase our understanding of the genetic basis of body fat distribution and its molecular links to cardiometabolic traits, here we conduct genome-wide association meta-analyses of traits related to waist and hip circumferences in up to 224,459 individuals. We identify 49 loci (33 new) associated with waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for body mass index (BMI), and an additional 19 loci newly associated with related waist and hip circumference measures (P &lt; 5 × 10(-8)). In total, 20 of the 49 waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI loci show significant sexual dimorphism, 19 of which display a stronger effect in women. The identified loci were enriched for genes expressed in adipose tissue and for putative regulatory elements in adipocytes. Pathway analyses implicated adipogenesis, angiogenesis, transcriptional regulation and insulin resistance as processes affecting fat distribution, providing insight into potential pathophysiological mechanisms.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7538</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25673412?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rusmini, Marta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Federici, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caroli, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grossi, Alice</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baldi, Maurizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Obici, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Insalaco, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caorsi, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gallo, Eleonora</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Olivieri, Alma Nunzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marzano, AngeloValerio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coviello, Domenico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ravazzolo, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gattorno, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ceccherini, Isabella</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Next-generation sequencing and its initial applications for molecular diagnosis of systemic auto-inflammatory diseases.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann Rheum Dis</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann.

More than 50% of patients with SAID does not show any mutation at gene(s) tested because of lack of precise clinical classification criteria and/or incomplete gene screening. To improve the molecular diagnosis and genotype interpretation of SAIDs, we undertook the development of a next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based protocol designed to simultaneous screening of 10 genes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Fifty patients with SAID, already genotyped for the respective causative gene(s), were massively sequenced for the coding portions of MEFV, MVK, TNFRSF1A, NLRP3, NLRP12, NOD2, PSTPIP1, IL1RN, LPIN2 and PSMB8. Three different bioinformatic pipelines (Ion Reporter, CLC Bio Genomics Workbench, GATK-based in-house workflow) were compared.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Once resulting variants were compared with the expected mutation list, no workflow turned out to be able to detect all the 79 variants known in the 50 DNAs. Additional variants were also detected, validated by Sanger sequencing and compared to assess true and false positive detection rates of the three workflows. Finally, the overall clinical picture of 34 patients was re-evaluated in the light of the new mutations found.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The present gene panel has resulted suitable for molecular diagnosis of SAIDs. Moreover, genotype-phenotype correlation has confirmed that the interpretation of NGS data in patients with an undefined inflammatory phenotype is remarkably difficult, thus supporting the need of evidence-based and validated clinical criteria to be used concurrently with the genetic analysis for the final diagnosis and classification of patients with SAIDs.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26386126?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schreiber, Silvana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanchi, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Delise, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corbelli, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bortoluzzi, Rosamaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taddio, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Normal saline flushes performed once daily maintain peripheral intravenous catheter patency: a randomised controlled trial.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch Dis Child</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch.

Children with IVLs, aged 1-17 years, were randomly assigned to receive saline flushing every 12 h (group A) or every 24 h (group B). The main outcome was the maintenance of catheter patency.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Four hundred patients were randomised; 198 subjects were analysed in the 12 h group and 199 in the 24 h group (three patients were lost at follow-up). Occlusion occurred in 15 children (7.6%) in group A versus 9 (4.5%) in group B (p=0.21). The difference in catheter patency was +3.1% in favour of the 24 h group (95% CI -1.6% to 7.7%), showing the non-inferiority of the 24 h procedure (the non-inferiority margin was set at -4%). Catheter-related complications were not different between the two groups (12.1% in group A vs 9.5% in group B; p=0.42).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;A flushing procedure with one flush per day allows maintenance of catheter patency without an increase in catheter-related complications. We propose a simplification of the flushing procedure with only one flush per day, thereby reducing costs (materials use and nursing time), labour and unnecessary manipulation of the catheters which can cause distress in younger children and their parents.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: &lt;/b&gt;The study is registered in the international database ClinicalTrial.gov under registration number NCT02221024.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25589559?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marzuillo, Pierluigi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rabach, Ingrid</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ondasetron Is More Likely Than Ketamine to Cause Ventricular Tachycardia.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Emerg Care</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Emerg Care</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anesthetics, Dissociative</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ketamine</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tachycardia, Ventricular</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 Aug</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">31</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e4</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26241719?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Floridia, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guaraldi, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ravizza, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tibaldi, Cecilia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pinnetti, Carmela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maccabruni, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molinari, Atim</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Liuzzi, Giuseppina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberico, Salvatore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meloni, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rizzi, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dalzero, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tamburrini, Enrica</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italian Group on Surveillance on Antiretroviral Treatment in Pregnancy</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Is &quot;option B+&quot; also being adopted in pregnant women in high-income countries?

In addition, the association between sweet liking and sugar intake with dental caries was investigated. Caries was measured by the decayed, missing, filled teeth (DMFT) index in 647 Caucasian subjects (285 males and 362 females, aged 18-65 years), coming from six villages in northeastern Italy. Sweet liking was assessed using a 9-point scale, and the mean of the liking given by each individual to specific sweet food and beverages was used to create a sweet liking score. Simple sugar consumption was estimated by a dietary history interview, considering both added sugars and sugar present naturally in foods. Our study confirmed that polymorphisms in TAS1R2 and GLUT2 genes are related to DMFT index. In particular, GG homozygous individuals for rs3935570 in TAS1R2 gene (p value = 0.0117) and GG homozygous individuals for rs1499821 in GLUT2 gene (p value = 0.0273) showed higher DMFT levels compared to both heterozygous and homozygous for the alternative allele. Furthermore, while the relationship sugar intake-DMFT did not achieve statistical significance (p value = 0.075), a significant association was identified between sweet liking and DMFT (p value = 0.004), independent of other variables. Our study showed that sweet taste genetic factors contribute to caries prevalence and highlighted the role of sweet liking as a predictor of caries risk. Therefore, these results may open new perspectives for individual risk identification and implementation of target preventive strategies, such as identifying high-risk patients before caries development.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26268603?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robinson, Matthew R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hemani, Gibran</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Medina-Gomez, Carolina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mezzavilla, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Esko, Tõnu</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shakhbazov, Konstantin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Powell, Joseph E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vinkhuyzen, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berndt, Sonja I</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gustafsson, Stefan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Justice, Anne E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kahali, Bratati</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Locke, Adam E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pers, Tune H</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vedantam, Sailaja</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wood, Andrew R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">van Rheenen, Wouter</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Andreassen, Ole A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Metspalu, Andres</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berg, Leonard H van den</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Veldink, Jan H</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rivadeneira, Fernando</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Werge, Thomas M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Abecasis, Goncalo R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boomsma, Dorret I</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chasman, Daniel I</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Geus, Eco J C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Frayling, Timothy M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hirschhorn, Joel N</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hottenga, Jouke Jan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ingelsson, Erik</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Loos, Ruth J F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Magnusson, Patrik K E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martin, Nicholas G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montgomery, Grant W</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">North, Kari E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pedersen, Nancy L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spector, Timothy D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Speliotes, Elizabeth K</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goddard, Michael E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yang, Jian</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Visscher, Peter M</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Population genetic differentiation of height and body mass index across Europe.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nat Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nat.

Using discovery data on over 250,000 individuals and unbiased effect size estimates from 17,500 sibling pairs, we estimate that 24% (95% credible interval (CI) = 9%, 41%) and 8% (95% CI = 4%, 16%) of the captured additive genetic variance for height and BMI, respectively, reflect population genetic differences. Population genetic divergence differed significantly from that in a null model (height, P &lt; 3.94 × 10(-8); BMI, P &lt; 5.95 × 10(-4)), and we find an among-population genetic correlation for tall and slender individuals (r = -0.80, 95% CI = -0.95, -0.60), consistent with correlated selection for both phenotypes. Observed differences in height among populations reflected the predicted genetic means (r = 0.51; P &lt; 0.001), but environmental differences across Europe masked genetic differentiation for BMI (P &lt; 0.58).&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26366552?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Davanzo, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Romagnoli, Costantino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corsello, Giovanni</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Position Statement on Breastfeeding from the Italian Pediatric Societies.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ital J Pediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ital J Pediatr</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">41</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">80</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The 2015 Position Statement on Breastfeeding of The Italian Pediatric Societies (SIP, SIN, SICupp, SIGENP) recognizes breastfeeding as an healthy behaviour with many short and long term benefits for both mother and infant.While protecting, promoting and supporting breastfeeding, neonatologists and pediatricians need specific knowledge, skills and a positive attitude toward breastfeeding. In Maternity Hospitals and in Neonatal Units, appropriate organizative interventions should be applied in order to facilitate the beginning of breastfeeding and the use of mother's/human milk.The Italian Pediatric Societies indicate the desiderable goal of around 6 months exclusive breastfeeding if the infant grows properly according to WHO Growth Charts. In principle, complementary feeding should not be anticipated before 6 months as a nutritional strategy pretending to prevent allergy and/or celiac disease.

Approximately 30 out of 80 known HHL genes are associated with autosomal dominant forms. Here, we identified PSIP1/LEDGF (isoform p75) as a novel strong candidate gene involved in dominant HHL. Using exome sequencing we found a frameshift deletion (c.1554_1555del leading to p.E518Dfs*2) in an Italian pedigree affected by sensorineural mild-to-moderate HHL but also showing a variable eye phenotype (i.e. uveitis, optic neuropathy). This deletion led to a premature stop codon (p.T519X) with truncation of the last 12 amino acids. PSIP1 was recently described as a transcriptional co-activator regulated by miR-135b in vestibular hair cells of the mouse inner ear as well as a possible protector against photoreceptor degeneration.

MYH9-RD patients have macrothrombocytopenia and granulocyte inclusions (pathognomonic sign of the disease) containing wild-type and mutant NMMHC-IIA. During life they might develop sensorineural hearing loss, cataract, glomerulonephritis, and elevation of liver enzymes. One of the MYH9 mutations, p.R705H, was previously reported to be associated with DFNA17, an autosomal dominant non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss without any other features associated. We identified the same mutation in two unrelated families, whose four affected individuals had not only hearing impairment but also thrombocytopenia, giant platelets, leukocyte inclusions, as well as mild to moderate elevation of some liver enzymes. Our data suggest that DFNA17 should not be a separate genetic entity but part of the wide phenotypic spectrum of MYH9-RD characterized by congenital hematological manifestations and variable penetrance and expressivity of the extra-hematological features.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal"

have been identified for age at menarche by genome-wide association studies; however, collectively these explain only ∼3% of the trait variance. Here we test two overlooked sources of variation in 192,974 European ancestry women: low-frequency protein-coding variants and X-chromosome variants. Five missense/nonsense variants (in ALMS1/LAMB2/TNRC6A/TACR3/PRKAG1) are associated with age at menarche (minor allele frequencies 0.08-4.6%; effect sizes 0.08-1.25 years per allele; P&lt;5 × 10(-8)). In addition, we identify common X-chromosome loci at IGSF1 (rs762080, P=9.4 × 10(-13)) and FAAH2 (rs5914101, P=4.9 × 10(-10)). Highlighted genes implicate cellular energy homeostasis, post-transcriptional gene silencing and fatty-acid amide signalling. A frequently reported mutation in TACR3 for idiopathic hypogonatrophic hypogonadism (p.W275X) is associated with 1.25-year-later menarche (P=2.8 × 10(-11)), illustrating the utility of population studies to estimate the penetrance of reportedly pathogenic mutations. Collectively, these novel variants explain ∼0.5% variance, indicating that these overlooked sources of variation do not substantially explain the 'missing heritability' of this complex trait.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26239645?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tornese, Gianluca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faleschini, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Matarazzo, Lorenza</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bibalo, Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanazzo, Giulio Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rabusin, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tonini, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zennaro, Floriana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Relapse and metastasis of atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor in a boy with neurofibromatosis type 1 treated with recombinant human growth hormone.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neuropediatrics</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neuropediatrics</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brain Stem Neoplasms</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cerebellar Neoplasms</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Human Growth Hormone</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Magnetic Resonance Imaging</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neurofibromatosis 1</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Recombinant Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Recurrence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rhabdoid Tumor</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Teratoma</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 Apr</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">46</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">126-9</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Even though no increased recurrence rate seems to be reported in patients with brain tumors receiving recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) replacement, in some patients multiple risk factors could put at higher risk for recurrence. In such cases, the decision to start rhGH therapy should be very cautious. A boy with neurofibromatosis type 1 developed an atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor (AT/RT) of right cerebellum, treated with surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. After 3 years of remission, he started rhGH for growth hormone deficiency, having a negative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. Ten weeks after starting therapy, the boy became symptomatic and MRI showed relapse of AT/RT in the right cerebellum and a new lesion in the brainstem. The boy died of progressive disease. In this case, the connection between AT/RT recurrence and the beginning of rhGH therapy, with a negative pretreatment MRI, cannot be excluded. Additional caution should be used for rhGH in patients with multiple risk factors.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25625887?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Masat, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agostinis, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bossi, Fleur</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radillo, Oriano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Seta, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tamassia, Nicola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cassatella, Marco A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bulla, Roberta</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RelB activation in anti-inflammatory decidual endothelial cells: a master plan to avoid pregnancy failure?</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sci Rep</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sci Rep</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14847</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;It is known that excessive inflammation at fetal-maternal interface is a key contributor in a compromised pregnancy. Female genital tract is constantly in contact with microorganisms and several strategies must be adopted to avoid pregnancy failure. Decidual endothelial cells (DECs) lining decidual microvascular vessels are the first cells that interact with pro-inflammatory stimuli released into the environment by microorganisms derived from gestational tissues or systemic circulation. Here, we show that DECs are hypo-responsive to LPS stimulation in terms of IL-6, CXCL8 and CCL2 production. Our results demonstrate that DECs express low levels of TLR4 and are characterized by a strong constitutive activation of the non-canonical NF-κB pathway and a low responsiveness of the canonical pathway to LPS. In conclusion, DECs show a unique hypo-responsive phenotype to the pro-inflammatory stimulus LPS in order to control the inflammatory response at feto-maternal interface.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26463648?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app

quality in obstetrics, it has been criticized because of its controversial ability to capture maternal and neonatal outcomes. In an &quot;ideal&quot; process of labor and delivery auditing, both caesarean (CD) and assisted vaginal delivery (AVD) rates should be considered because both of them may be associated with an increased risk of complications. The aim of our study was to evaluate maternal and neonatal outcomes according to the outlier status for case-mix adjusted CD and AVD rates in the same obstetric population.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Standardized data on 15,189 deliveries from 11 centers were prospectively collected. Multiple logistic regression was used to estimate the risk-adjusted probability of a woman in each center having an AVD or a CD. Centers were classified as &quot;above&quot;, &quot;below&quot;, or &quot;within&quot; the expected rates by considering the observed-to-expected rates and the 95% confidence interval around the ratio. Adjusted maternal and neonatal outcomes were compared among the three groupings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Centers classified as &quot;above&quot; or &quot;below&quot; the expected CD rates had, in both cases, higher adjusted incidence of composite maternal (2.97%, 4.69%, 3.90% for &quot;within&quot;, &quot;above&quot; and &quot;below&quot;, respectively; p = 0.000) and neonatal complications (3.85%, 9.66%, 6.29% for &quot;within&quot;, &quot;above&quot; and &quot;below&quot;, respectively; p = 0.000) than centers &quot;within&quot; CD expected rates. Centers with AVD rates above and below the expected showed poorer and better composite maternal (3.96%, 4.61%, 2.97% for &quot;within&quot;, &quot;above&quot; and &quot;below&quot;, respectively; p = 0.000) and neonatal (6.52%, 9.77%, 3.52% for &quot;within&quot;, &quot;above&quot; and &quot;below&quot;, respectively; p = 0.000) outcomes respectively than centers with &quot;within&quot; AVD rates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Both risk-adjusted CD and AVD delivery rates should be considered to assess the level of obstetric care. In this context, both higher and lower-than-expected rates of CD and &quot;above&quot; AVD rates are significantly associated with increased risk of complications, whereas the &quot;below&quot; status for AVD showed a &quot;protective&quot; effect on maternal and neonatal outcomes.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25751768?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Franca, Raffaella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stocco, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Favretto, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giurici, Nagua</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decorti, Giuliana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rabusin, Marco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Role of Pharmacogenetics in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Outcome in Children.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Mol Sci</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Mol Sci</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18601-27</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an established therapeutic procedure for several congenital and acquired disorders, both malignant and nonmalignant. Despite the great improvements in HSCT clinical practices over the last few decades, complications, such as graft vs. host disease (GVHD) and sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (SOS), are still largely unpredictable and remain the major causes of morbidity and mortality. Both donor and patient genetic background might influence the success of bone marrow transplantation and could at least partially explain the inter-individual variability in HSCT outcome. This review summarizes some of the recent studies on candidate gene polymorphisms in HSCT, with particular reference to pediatric cohorts. The interest is especially focused on pharmacogenetic variants affecting myeloablative and immunosuppressive drugs, although genetic traits involved in SOS susceptibility and transplant-related mortality are also reviewed.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26266406?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maximova, Natalia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanon, D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rovere, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maestro, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schillani, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paparazzo, R</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Romiplostim for secondary thrombocytopenia following allogeneic stem cell transplantation in children.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Hematol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int.

However, at present very little is known about the genetic heterogeneity underlying the non-syndromic form of ID (NS-ID). To investigate the genetic basis of NS-ID we analyzed 43 trios and 22 isolated NS-ID patients using a targeted sequencing (TS) approach. 71 NS-ID genes have been selected and sequenced in all subjects. We found putative pathogenic mutations in 7 out of 65 patients. The pathogenic role of mutations was evaluated through sequence comparison and structural analysis was performed to predict the effect of alterations in a 3D computational model through molecular dynamics simulations. Additionally, a deep patient clinical re-evaluation has been performed after the molecular results. This approach allowed us to find novel pathogenic mutations with a detection rate close to 11% in our cohort of patients. This result supports the hypothesis that many NS-ID related genes still remain to be discovered and that NS-ID is a more complex phenotype compared to syndromic form, likely caused by a complex and broad interaction between genes alterations and environment factors.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26411299?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Capolla, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Garrovo, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zorzet, Sonia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lorenzon, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rampazzo, Enrico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spretz, Ruben</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pozzato, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Núñez, Luis</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tripodo, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Macor, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biffi, Stefania</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Targeted tumor imaging of anti-CD20-polymeric nanoparticles developed for the diagnosis of B-cell malignancies.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Nanomedicine</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Nanomedicine</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4099-109</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The expectations of nanoparticle (NP)-based targeted drug delivery systems in cancer, when compared with convectional therapeutic methods, are greater efficacy and reduced drug side effects due to specific cellular-level interactions. However, there are conflicting literature reports on enhanced tumor accumulation of targeted NPs, which is essential for translating their applications as improved drug-delivery systems and contrast agents in cancer imaging. In this study, we characterized biodegradable NPs conjugated with an anti-CD20 antibody for in vivo imaging and drug delivery onto tumor cells. NPs' binding specificity mediated by anti-CD20 antibody was evaluated on MEC1 cells and chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients' cells. The whole-body distribution of untargeted NPs and anti-CD20 NPs were compared by time-domain optical imaging in a localized human/mouse model of B-cell malignancy. These studies provided evidence that NPs' functionalization by an anti-CD20 antibody improves tumor pharmacokinetic profiles in vivo after systemic administration and increases in vivo imaging of tumor mass compared to non-targeted NPs. Together, drug delivery and imaging probe represents a promising theranostics tool for targeting B-cell malignancies.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26124662?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rabelo, K C N</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Albuquerque, C M R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tavares, V B</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Santos, S M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Souza, C A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oliveira, T C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oliveira, N C L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, S</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trace samples of human blood in mosquitoes as a forensic investigation tool.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genet Mol Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genet.

Thus, the purpose of this research was to collect and analyze an entomological trace from an environment that is similar to those of indoor crime scenes. Hematophagous mosquitoes were collected from two residential units; saliva of volunteers that were residents in the units was also collected for genetic analysis as reference samples. We examined the allele frequencies of 15 short tandem repeat loci (D8S1179, D21S11, D7S820, CSF1PO, D3S1358, TH01, D13S317, D16S539, D2S1338, D19S433, vWA, TPOX, D18S51, D5S818, and FGA) and amelogenin. A total of 26 female hematophagous mosquitoes were identified as Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus, and Culex quinquefasciatus; we were able to obtain 11 forensically valid genetic profiles, with a minimum of 0.028203 ng/μL of human DNA. Thus, the results of this study showed that it was possible to correlate human genetic information from mosquitoes with the volunteer reference samples, which validates the use of this information as forensic evidence. Furthermore, we observed mixed genetic profiles from one mosquito. Therefore, it is clearly important to collect these insects indoors where crimes were committed, because it may be possible to find intact genetic profiles of suspects in the blood found in the digestive tract of hematophagous mosquitoes for later comparison to identify an offender and/or exclude suspects.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26600546?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ura, Blendi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scrimin, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanconati, Fabrizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arrigoni, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Romano, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Banco, Rubina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zweyer, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milani, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis analysis of the leiomyoma interstitial fluid reveals altered protein expression with a possible involvement in pathogenesis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oncol Rep</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oncol.

In the present study, we analyzed the global interstitial fluid (IF) profile of leiomyoma vs. normal myometrium to identify protein dysregulation involved in leiomyoma pathogenesis. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry were used to generate and compare the global interstitial fluid profiles of the leiomyoma and of the normal tissue. Two proteins were validated by immunohistochemistry. By comparing the interstitial fluid profile of the leiomyoma with that of the normal myometrium, the levels of seven proteins were found to be significantly different: four structural organization proteins (desmin, prelamin-A/C, transgelin and α-actinin-1), an inflammatory response (α1-antitrypsin), a response to oxidative stress (peroxiredoxin-2), and a folding protein (heat shock 70 kDa protein 1A/1B). Desmin, α1-antitrypsin and peroxiredoxin-2 were upregulated in the leiomyoma, whereas heat shock 70 kDa protein 1A/1B, α-actinin-1, prelamin-A/C and transgelin were downregulated. Desmin and α1-antitrypsin were further validated by immunohistochemistry. By identifying proteins with altered expression levels compared to the myometrium from several pathways of the leiomyoma pathogenesis, we found the leiomyoma interstitial fluid to have a characteristic proteomic profile. A better appreciation of the pathophysiology of the disease can be useful in the development of conservative treatments that serve as viable alternatives to hysterectomy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25738828?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Andolfi, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zabucchi, Giuliano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Luppi, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boscolo, Rita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martinelli, Monica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zweyer, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trevisan, Elisa</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ultrastructural Morphology of Sperm from Human Globozoospermia.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biomed Res Int</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biomed Res Int</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">798754</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Globozoospermia is a rare disorder characterized by the presence of sperm with round head, lacking acrosome. Coiling tail around the nucleus has been reported since early human studies, but no specific significance has conferred it. By contrast, studies on animal models suggest that coiling tail around the nucleus could represent a crucial step of defective spermatogenesis, resulting in round-headed sperm. No observations, so far, support the transfer of this hypothesis to human globozoospermia. The purpose of this work was to compare ultrastructural morphology of human and mouse model globozoospermic sperm. Sperm have been investigated by using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The images that we obtained show significant similarities to those described in GOPC knockout mice, an animal model of globozoospermia. By using this model as reference, we were able to identify the probable steps of the tail coiling process in human globozoospermia. Although we have no evidence that there is the same pathophysiology in man and knocked-out mouse, the similarities between these ultrastructural observations in human and those in the experimental model are very suggestive. This is the first demonstration of the existence of relevant morphological homologies between the tail coiling in animal model and human globozoospermia.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26436098?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lenarduzzi, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vozzi, D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morgan, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rubinato, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Eustacchio, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Osland, T M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rossi, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Graziano, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Castorina, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ambrosetti, U</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morgutti, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girotto, G</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Usher syndrome: an effective sequencing approach to establish a genetic and clinical diagnosis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hear Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hear.

The disorder is clinically and genetically heterogeneous and, to date, mutations in 11 genes have been described. This finding makes difficult to get a precise molecular diagnosis and offer patients accurate genetic counselling. To overcome this problem and to increase our knowledge of the molecular basis of Usher syndrome, we designed a targeted resequencing custom panel. In a first validation step a series of 16 Italian patients with known molecular diagnosis were analysed and 31 out of 32 alleles were detected (97% of accuracy). After this step, 31 patients without a molecular diagnosis were enrolled in the study. Three out of them with an uncertain Usher diagnosis were excluded. One causative allele was detected in 24 out 28 patients (86%) while the presence of both causative alleles characterized 19 patients out 28 (68%). Sixteen novel and 27 known alleles were found in the following genes: USH2A (50%), MYO7A (7%), CDH23 (11%), PCDH15 (7%) and USH1G (2%). Overall, on the 44 patients the protocol was able to characterize 74 alleles out of 88 (84%). These results suggest that our panel is an effective approach for the genetic diagnosis of Usher syndrome leading to: 1) an accurate molecular diagnosis, 2) better genetic counselling, 3) more precise molecular epidemiology data fundamental for future interventional plans.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25575603?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Travan, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rocca, Maria Santa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Buonomo, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cleva, Lisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecile, Vanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Cunto, Angela</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">When Feeding Difficulties Are due to Genetics: The Case of Familial Partial 9q Duplication.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Investig Med High Impact Case Rep</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Investig Med High Impact Case Rep</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 Jan-Mar</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2324709615574949</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Chromosomal abnormalities may cause growth failure before or since birth. 9q duplication is reported as a cause of intrauterine growth restriction, mild dysmporphism, and intellectual disabilities.

with inherited thrombocytopenias is a major matter of concern as both the mothers and the newborns are potentially at risk of bleeding. However, medical management of this condition cannot be based on evidence because of the lack of consistent information in the literature. To advance knowledge on this matter, we performed a multicentric, retrospective study evaluating 339 pregnancies in 181 women with 13 different forms of inherited thrombocytopenia. Neither the degree of thrombocytopenia nor the severity of bleeding tendency worsened during pregnancy and the course of pregnancy did not differ from that of healthy subjects in terms of miscarriages, fetal bleeding and pre-term births. The degree of thrombocytopenia in the babies was similar to that in the mother. Only 7 of 156 affected newborns had delivery-related bleeding, but 2 of them died of cerebral hemorrhage. The frequency of delivery-related maternal bleeding ranged from 6.8% to 14.2% depending on the definition of abnormal blood loss, suggesting that the risk of abnormal blood loss was increased with respect to the general population. However, no mother died or had to undergo hysterectomy to arrest bleeding. The search for parameters predicting delivery-related bleeding in the mother suggested that hemorrhages requiring blood transfusion were more frequent in women with history of severe bleedings before pregnancy and with platelet count at delivery below 50 × 10(9)/L.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24763399?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Casati, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stampalija, Tamara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rizas, Konstantinos</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrazzi, Enrico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mastroianni, Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rosti, Eleonora</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quadrifoglio, Mariachiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bauer, Axel</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Assessment of coupling between trans-abdominally acquired fetal ECG and uterine activity by bivariate phase-rectified signal averaging analysis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PLoS One</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PLoS ONE</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Electrocardiography</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heart Rate, Fetal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Labor, Obstetric</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Uterine Contraction</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e94557</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;UNLABELLED: &lt;/b&gt;Couplings between uterine contractions (UC) and fetal heart rate (fHR) provide important information on fetal condition during labor. At present, couplings between UC and fHR are assessed by visual analysis and interpretation of cardiotocography. The application of computerized approaches is restricted due to the non-stationarity of the signal, missing data and noise, typical for fHR. Herein, we propose a novel approach to assess couplings between UC and fHR, based on a signal-processing algorithm termed bivariate phase-rectified signal averaging (BPRSA).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Electrohysterogram (EHG) and fetal electrocardiogram (fECG) were recorded non-invasively by a trans-abdominal device in 73 women at term with uneventful singleton pregnancy during the first stage of labor. Coupling between UC and fHR was analyzed by BPRSA and by conventional cross power spectral density analysis (CPSD). For both methods, degree of coupling was assessed by the maximum coefficient of coherence (CPRSA and CRAW, respectively) in the UC frequency domain. Coherence values greater than 0.50 were consider significant. CPRSA and CRAW were compared by Wilcoxon test.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;At visual inspection BPRSA analysis identified coupled periodicities in 86.3% (63/73) of the cases. 11/73 (15%) cases were excluded from further analysis because no 30 minutes of fECG recording without signal loss was available for spectral analysis. Significant coupling was found in 90.3% (56/62) of the cases analyzed by BPRSA, and in 24.2% (15/62) of the cases analyzed by CPSD, respectively. The difference between median value of CPRSA and CRAW was highly significant (0.79 [IQR 0.69-0.90] and 0.29 [IQR 0.17-0.47], respectively; p&lt;0.0001).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;BPRSA is a novel computer-based approach that can be reliably applied to trans-abdominally acquired EHG-fECG. It allows the assessment of correlations between UC and fHR patterns in the majority of labors, overcoming the limitations of non-stationarity and artifacts. Compared to standard techniques of cross-correlations, such as CPSD, BPRSA is significantly superior.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24759939?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pirastu, Nicola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kooyman, Maarten</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Traglia, Michela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robino, Antonietta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Willems, Sara M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pistis, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">d'Adamo, Pio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amin, Najaf</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Eustacchio, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Navarini, Luciano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sala, Cinzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Karssen, Lennart C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">van Duijn, Cornelia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toniolo, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Association analysis of bitter receptor genes in five isolated populations identifies a significant correlation between TAS2R43 variants and coffee liking.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PLoS One</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PLoS ONE</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coffee</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Association Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Receptors, G-Protein-Coupled</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taste</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e92065</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Coffee, one of the most popular beverages in the world, contains many different physiologically active compounds with a potential impact on people's health. Despite the recent attention given to the genetic basis of its consumption, very little has been done in understanding genes influencing coffee preference among different individuals. Given its markedly bitter taste, we decided to verify if bitter receptor genes (TAS2Rs) variants affect coffee liking. In this light, 4066 people from different parts of Europe and Central Asia filled in a field questionnaire on coffee liking. They have been consequently recruited and included in the study. Eighty-eight SNPs covering the 25 TAS2R genes were selected from the available imputed ones and used to run association analysis for coffee liking. A significant association was detected with three SNP: one synonymous and two functional variants (W35S and H212R) on the TAS2R43 gene. Both variants have been shown to greatly reduce in vitro protein activity. Surprisingly the wild type allele, which corresponds to the functional form of the protein, is associated to higher liking of coffee. Since the hTAS2R43 receptor is sensible to caffeine, we verified if the detected variants produced differences in caffeine bitter perception on a subsample of people coming from the FVG cohort. We found a significant association between differences in caffeine perception and the H212R variant but not with the W35S, which suggests that the effect of the TAS2R43 gene on coffee liking is mediated by caffeine and in particular by the H212R variant. No other significant association was found with other TAS2R genes. In conclusion, the present study opens new perspectives in the understanding of coffee liking. Further studies are needed to clarify the role of the TAS2R43 gene in coffee hedonics and to identify which other genes and pathways are involved in its genetics.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24647340?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faraci, Maura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zecca, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pillon, Marta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rovelli, Attilio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Menconi, Maria Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ripaldi, Mimmo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fagioli, Franca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rabusin, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ziino, Ottavio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lanino, Edoardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Locatelli, Franco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Daikeler, Thomas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prete, Arcangelo</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italian Association of Paediatric Haematology and Oncology</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Autoimmune hematological diseases after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in children: an Italian multicenter experience.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biol Blood Marrow Transplant</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biol.

Between 1998 and 2011, 1574 consecutive children underwent allogeneic HSCT in 9 Italian centers. Thirty-three children (2.1%) developed AHDs: 15 autoimmune hemolytic anemia (45%), 10 immune thrombocytopenia (30%), 5 Evans' syndrome (15%), 2 pure red cell aplasia (6%), and 1 immune neutropenia (3%). The 10-year cumulative incidence of AHDs was 2.5% (95% confidence interval, 1.7 to 3.6). In a multivariate analysis, the use of alternative donor and nonmalignant disease was statistically associated with AHDs. Most patients with AHDs (64%) did not respond to steroids. Sustained complete remission was achieved in 87% of cases with the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (rituximab). Four patients (9%) (1 autoimmune hemolytic anemia, 1 Evans' syndrome, 2 immune thrombocytopenia) died at a median of 87 days after AHD diagnosis as a direct or indirect consequence of their disorder. Our data suggest that AHDs are a relatively rare complication occurring after HSCT that usually respond to treatment with rituximab.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24274983?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Norbedo, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Naviglio, Samuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Murru, Flora Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cavallin, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giurici, Nagua</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rabusin, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A boy with sudden headache.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Emerg Care</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Emerg Care</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Abdominal Neoplasms</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Emergencies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Headache</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paraganglioma</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014 Mar</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">30</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">182-4</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Headache is a common presenting complaint in pediatric emergency departments.

Here we demonstrate that C1q is deposited in wound-healing skin in the absence of C4 and C3 and that C1q mRNA is locally expressed as revealed by real-time PCR and in situ hybridization. C1q was found to induce permeability of the EC monolayer, to stimulate EC proliferation and migration, and to promote tube formation and sprouting of new vessels in a rat aortic ring assay. Using a murine model of wound healing we observed that vessel formation was defective in C1qa(-/-) mice and was restored to normal after local application of C1q. The mean vessel density of wound-healing tissue and the healed wound area were significantly increased in C1q-treated rats. On the basis of these results we suggest that C1q may represent a valuable therapeutic agent that can be used to treat chronic ulcers or other pathological conditions in which angiogenesis is impaired, such as myocardial ischemia.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24591625?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Cunto, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paviotti, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Travan, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bua, Jenny</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cont, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Demarini, Sergio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Can body mass index accurately predict adiposity in newborns?</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch.

Proportionality indexes such as BMI and ponderal index (PI) have been suggested as complementary measures in neonatal growth assessment. Yet, they are still not used in neonates and their correlation with fatness is unknown. The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that BMI z-score would predict neonatal adiposity. Body composition measurements (ie, fat mass, fat-free mass) by air displacement plethysmography (PEA POD, LMI, Concord-USA), weight and length were obtained in 200 infants ≥36 weeks' gestational age (GA) at birth. Linear regression analysis showed a direct association between BMI z-score and %fat mass (r(2)=0.43, p&lt;0.0001). This association was confirmed independently from sex, GA and maternal prepregnancy BMI. BMI z-score predicted adiposity better than PI. However, both BMI z-score and PI were poor predictors of adiposity at birth.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style

2000 study in Italy is described. HR criteria were minimal residual disease (MRD) levels ≥10(-3) at day 78 (MRD-HR), no complete remission (CR) at day 33, t(4;11) translocation, and prednisone poor response (PPR). Treatment (2 years) included protocol I, 3 polychemotherapy blocks, delayed intensification (protocol IIx2 or IIIx3), cranial radiotherapy, and maintenance. A total of 312 HR patients had a 5-year event-free survival (EFS) of 58.9% (standard error [SE] = 2.8) and an overall survival of 68.9% (SE = 2.6). In hierarchical order, EFS was 45.9% (4.4) in 132 MRD-HR patients, 41.2% (11.9) in 17 patients with no CR at day 33, 36.4% (14.5) in 11 patients with t(4;11), and 74.0% (3.6) in 152 HR patients only for PPR. No statistically significant difference was found for disease-free survival in patients with very HR features [MRD-HR, no CR at day 33, t(4;11) translocation], given hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) (n = 66) or chemotherapy only (n = 88), after adjusting for waiting time to HSCT (5.7 months). Patients at HR only for PPR have a favorable outcome. MRD-HR is associated with poor outcome despite intensive treatment and/or HSCT and may qualify for innovative therapies. The study was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT00613457.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24415536?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chermetz, Maddalena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gobbo, Margherita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ottaviani, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanazzo, Giulio A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Verzegnassi, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Treister, Nathaniel S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Lenarda, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biasotto, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zacchigna, Serena</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Class IV laser therapy as treatment for chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis in onco-haematological paediatric patients: a prospective study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Paediatr Dent</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Paediatr Dent</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014 Nov</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">24</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">441-9</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Oral mucositis is a debilitating side effect of chemotherapy. Laser therapy has recently demonstrated efficacy in the management of oral mucositis (OM).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AIM: &lt;/b&gt;This prospective study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of class IV laser therapy in patients affected by OM.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;Eighteen onco-haematological paediatric patients receiving chemotherapy and/or haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, prior to total body irradiation, affected by OM, were enrolled in this study. Patients were treated with class IV laser therapy for four consecutive days; the assessment of OM was performed through WHO Oral Mucositis Grading Objective Scale, and pain was evaluated through visual analogue scale. Patients completed a validated questionnaire, and photographs of lesions were taken during each session. Patients were re-evaluated 11 days after the first day of laser therapy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;All patients demonstrated improvement in pain sensation, and all mucositis was fully resolved at the 11-day follow-up visit, with no apparent side effects. Laser therapy was well tolerated with remarkable reduction in pain associated with oral mucositis after 1-2 days of laser therapy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Given class IV laser therapy appears to be safe, non-invasive, and potentially effective, prospective, randomized, controlled trials are necessary to further assess efficacy and to determine optimal treatment parameters.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24372909?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cancrini, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Puliafito, Pamela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Digilio, Maria Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soresina, Annarosa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martino, Silvana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rondelli, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Consolini, Rita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ruga, Ezia Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cardinale, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Finocchi, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Romiti, Maria Luisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martire, Baldassarre</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bacchetta, Rosa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Albano, Veronica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carotti, Adriano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Specchia, Fernando</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montin, Davide</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cirillo, Emilia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cocchi, Guido</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trizzino, Antonino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bossi, Grazia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milanesi, Ornella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Azzari, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corsello, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pignata, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aiuti, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pietrogrande, Maria Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marino, Bruno</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ugazio, Alberto Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plebani, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rossi, Paolo</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italian Network for Primary Immunodeficiencies</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clinical features and follow-up in patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Pediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Clinical diagnosis was confirmed by cytogenetic or molecular analysis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The cohort consisted of 112 males and 116 females; median age at diagnosis was 4 months (range 0 to 36 years 10 months). The diagnosis was made before 2 years of age in 71% of patients, predominantly related to the presence of heart anomalies and neonatal hypocalcemia. In patients diagnosed after 2 years of age, clinical features such as speech and language impairment, developmental delay, minor cardiac defects, recurrent infections, and facial features were the main elements leading to diagnosis. During follow-up (available for 172 patients), the frequency of autoimmune manifestations (P = .015) and speech disorders (P = .002) increased. After a median follow-up of 43 months, the survival probability was 0.92 at 15 years from diagnosis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our data show a delay in the diagnosis of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome with noncardiac symptoms. This study provides guidelines for pediatricians and specialists for early identification of cases that can be confirmed by genetic testing, which would permit the provision of appropriate clinical management.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24657119?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Copetti, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pastore, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Pieri, Carlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radillo, Oriano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taddio, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clinical significance of hyper-IgA in a paediatric laboratory series.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch Dis Child</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch.

We reviewed the diagnostic significance of very high IgA levels (greater than 3 SD above the mean for age) in a cohort of patients referred to a tertiary care children's hospital. Hyper-IgA was found in 91 of 6364 subjects (1.4%) and in 68 cases was not associated with an increased IgG and/or IgM level. Most subjects with hyper-IgA (73.5%) had a severe immune defect, a chronic rheumatic disease or inflammatory bowel disease, while these conditions were very rare in a control group with normal IgA values (8%). Although our results may in part reflect the experience of a tertiary care centre, we suggest that hyper-IgA in children should always arouse suspicion of a serious disease.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25053738?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Olden, Matthias</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corre, Tanguy</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hayward, Caroline</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toniolo, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ulivi, Sheila</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pistis, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hwang, Shih-Jen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bergmann, Sven</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campbell, Harry</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cocca, Massimiliano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gandin, Ilaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girotto, Giorgia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Glaudemans, Bob</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hastie, Nicholas D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Loffing, Johannes</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polasek, Ozren</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rampoldi, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rudan, Igor</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sala, Cinzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Traglia, Michela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vollenweider, Peter</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vuckovic, Dragana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Youhanna, Sonia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Weber, Julien</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wright, Alan F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kutalik, Zoltán</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bochud, Murielle</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fox, Caroline S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Devuyst, Olivier</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Common variants in UMOD associate with urinary uromodulin levels: a meta-analysis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Am Soc Nephrol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Variants in UMOD, which encodes uromodulin, are associated with renal function, and urinary uromodulin levels may be a biomarker for kidney disease. However, the genetic factors regulating uromodulin excretion are unknown. We conducted a meta-analysis of urinary uromodulin levels to identify associated common genetic variants in the general population. We included 10,884 individuals of European descent from three genetic isolates and three urban cohorts. Each study measured uromodulin indexed to creatinine and conducted linear regression analysis of approximately 2.5 million single nucleotide polymorphisms using an additive model. We also tested whether variants in genes expressed in the thick ascending limb associate with uromodulin levels. rs12917707, located near UMOD and previously associated with renal function and CKD, had the strongest association with urinary uromodulin levels (P&lt;0.001). In all cohorts, carriers of a G allele of this variant had higher uromodulin levels than noncarriers did (geometric means 10.24, 14.05, and 17.67 μg/g creatinine for zero, one, or two copies of the G allele). rs12446492 in the adjacent gene PDILT (protein disulfide isomerase-like, testis expressed) also reached genome-wide significance (P&lt;0.001). Regarding genes expressed in the thick ascending limb, variants in KCNJ1, SORL1, and CAB39 associated with urinary uromodulin levels. These data indicate that common variants in the UMOD promoter region may influence urinary uromodulin levels. They also provide insights into uromodulin biology and the association of UMOD variants with renal function.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24578125?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Massaro, Marta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrara, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Badina, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giorgi, Rita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Osualdo, Flavio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taddio, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A comparison of three scales for measuring pain in children with cognitive impairment.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Paediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Paediatr.</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014 Nov</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">103</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e495-500</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AIM: &lt;/b&gt;Pain is a neglected problem in children with cognitive impairments, and few studies compare the clinical use of specific pain scales. We compared the Non-Communicating Children's Pain Checklist Postoperative Version (NCCPC-PV), the Echelle Douleur Enfant San Salvador (DESS) and the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Pain Scale (CHEOPS). The first two were developed for children with cognitive impairment, and the third is a more general pain scale.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Two external observers and the child's caregiver assessed 40 children with cognitive impairment for pain levels. We assessed inter-rater agreement, correlation, dependence on knowledge of the child's behaviour, simplicity and adequacy in pain rating according to the caregiver for all three scales.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The correlation between the NCCPC-PV and the DESS was strong (Spearman correlation coefficient = 0.76) and better than between each scale and the CHEOPS. Although the DESS showed better inter-rater agreement, it was more dependent on familiarity with the child and was judged more difficult to use by all observers. The NCCPC-PV was the easiest use and the most appropriate for rating the child's pain.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;The NCCPC-PV was the easiest to use for pain assessment in cognitively impaired children and should be adopted in clinical settings.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25040148?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maso, Gianpaolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piccoli, Monica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parolin, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Restaino, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberico, Salvatore</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diabetes in pregnancy: timing and mode of delivery.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr Diab Rep</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr.

In this context, the obstetrician managing women with pre-existing and gestational diabetes should consider (1) how these conditions might affect labor and delivery outcomes; (2) what are the current recommendations on management; and (3) which other factors should be considered to decide about the timing and mode of delivery. The analysis of the studies considered in this review leads to the conclusion that the decision to deliver should be primarily intended to reduce the risk of stillbirth, macrosomia, and shoulder dystocia. In this context, this review provides useful information for managing specific subgroups of diabetic women that may present overlapping risk factors, such as women with insulin-requiring diabetes and/or obesity and/or prenatal suspicion of macrosomic fetus. To date, the lack of definitive evidences and the complexity of the problem suggest that the &quot;appropriate&quot; clinical management should be customized according with the clinical condition, the type and mode of intervention, its consequences on outcomes, and considering the woman's consent and informed decisions.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24811363?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neri, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rabach, Ingrid</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanchi, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Norbedo, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guastalla, Veronica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guastalla, Pierpaolo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography for hand bony fractures in paediatric patients.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch Dis Child</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch.

US has been used to evaluate bone injuries, mainly in adults for long-bone trauma; there are only a few studies about hand fractures in children. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and confirm the safety and applicability of the US diagnostic procedure in comparison to X-ray diagnosis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;STUDY DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;This cross-sectional study involved a convenience sample of young patients (between 2 and 17 years old) who were taken to the emergency department due to hand trauma. After clinical assessment, patients with a suspected hand fracture first underwent X-ray, and subsequently US examination by two different operators; a radiologist experienced in US and a trained emergency physician in &quot;double-blind&quot; fashion. US and radiographic findings were then compared, and sensitivity as well as specificity was calculated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;A total of 204 patients were enrolled in the study. Seventy-nine fractures of phalanges or metacarpals were detected by standard radiography. When US imaging was performed by an expert radiologist, 72 fractures were detected with sensitivity and a specificity of 91.1% and 97.6%, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity were found to be (respectively) 91.5% and 96.8% when US was performed by the ED physicians.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;US imaging showed excellent sensitivity and specificity results in the diagnosis of hand fractures in children. The study also showed a great agreement between the results of the US carried out by the senior radiologist and those carried out by the paediatric emergency physician, suggesting that US can be performed by an ED physician, allowing a rapid and accurate evaluation in ED and could become the first diagnostic approach whenever a hand fracture is suspected.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

The biological processes that govern the timing of the beginning and end of reproductive life are not well understood. Genetic variants are known to contribute to ∼50% of the variation in both age at menarche and menopause, but to date the known genes explain &lt;15% of the genetic component. We have used genome-wide association in a bivariate meta-analysis of both traits to identify genes involved in determining reproductive lifespan. We observed significant genetic correlation between the two traits using genome-wide complex trait analysis. However, we found no robust statistical evidence for individual variants with an effect on both traits. A novel association with age at menopause was detected for a variant rs1800932 in the mismatch repair gene MSH6 (P = 1.9 × 10(-9)), which was also associated with altered expression levels of MSH6 mRNA in multiple tissues. This study contributes to the growing evidence that DNA repair processes play a key role in ovarian ageing and could be an important therapeutic target for infertility.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24357391?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Seta, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Restaino, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Banco, Rubina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Conversano, Ester</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Leo, Rossella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tonon, Maddalena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maso, Gianpaolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbati, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lello, Stefano</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Effects of estroprogestins containing natural estrogen on vaginal flora.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gynecol Endocrinol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gynecol.

So, the aim of this study is to investigate how estroprogestins with natural estrogen may modify the vaginal niche. In literature, very few studies focused on the interaction between hormonal contraception and vaginal milieu. This is a prospective comparative study. We enrolled 60 women from January 2013 to September 2013, 30 of them were administered estradiol valerate dienogest (E2V+DNG - Klaira®) in a quadriphasic regimen, while the other 30 women were administered 17-β estradiol with nomestrol acetate (EV+NOMAC - Zoely®) in a monophasic regimen. After a baseline study of vaginal milieu at recruitment of patients (Gram stain with Nugent score, vaginal pH, vaginal wet mount for the quantification of leukocytes, Lactobacilli and/or presence of Candida), we performed the same follow-up after six months of estroprogestin therapy. Our results showed that the women treated with E2V+DNG had a trend of an improvement of vaginal health in terms of increase of lactobacillar flora and reduction of vaginal pH in place of women treated with EV+NOMAC that showed a reduction of cervical mucus. Finally, our data about the effects on vaginal flora exerted by two estroprogestin pills (EPs) containing a natural estrogen suggest slight, but interesting differences in terms of vaginal ecology. These differences could be related to the type of estrogen, type of progestin, regimen of administration and, after all, to the net balance between estrogenic and progestin component of the EPs.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24993504?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rami, Damiano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">La Bianca, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agostinis, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zauli, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radillo, Oriano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bulla, Roberta</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The first trimester gravid serum regulates procalcitonin expression in human macrophages skewing their phenotype in vitro.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mediators Inflamm</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mediators Inflamm.</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biomarkers</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calcitonin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cells, Cultured</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chorionic Gonadotropin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Estradiol</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene Expression Regulation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Homeostasis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inflammation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Macrophages</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monocytes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phenotype</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy Trimester, First</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Protein Precursors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Serum</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Up-Regulation</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">248963</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Procalcitonin (PCT) is one of the best diagnostic and prognostic markers in clinical practice, widely used to evaluate the evolution of bacterial infections. Although it is mainly produced by thyroid, during sepsis almost all the peripheral tissues are involved in PCT production. Parenchymal cells have been suggested as the main source of PCT expression; however the contribution of macrophages is not clear yet. In response to environmental cues, tissue macrophages acquire distinct functional phenotypes, ranging from proinflammatory (M1) to anti-inflammatory (M2) phenotype. Macrophages at the fetal-maternal interface show immunosuppressive M2-like activities required for the maintenance of immunological homeostasis during pregnancy. This study aims to clarify the ability to synthesise PCT of fully differentiated (M0), polarized (M1/M2) macrophages and those cultured either in the presence of first trimester gravid serum (GS) or pregnancy hormones. We found out that M1 macrophages upregulate PCT expression following LPS stimulation compared to M0 and M2. The GS downregulates PCT expression in macrophages, skewing them towards an M2-like phenotype. This effect seems only partially mediated by the hormonal milieu. Our findings strengthen the key role of macrophages in counteracting inflammatory stimuli during pregnancy, suggesting PCT as a possible new marker of M1-like macrophages.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24733960?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">O'Connell, Jared</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gurdasani, Deepti</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Delaneau, Olivier</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pirastu, Nicola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ulivi, Sheila</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cocca, Massimiliano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Traglia, Michela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Huang, Jie</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Huffman, Jennifer E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rudan, Igor</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">McQuillan, Ruth</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fraser, Ross M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campbell, Harry</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polasek, Ozren</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Asiki, Gershim</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ekoru, Kenneth</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hayward, Caroline</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wright, Alan F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vitart, Veronique</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Navarro, Pau</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zagury, Jean-Francois</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wilson, James F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toniolo, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soranzo, Nicole</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandhu, Manjinder S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marchini, Jonathan</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A general approach for haplotype phasing across the full spectrum of relatedness.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PLoS Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PLoS Genet.</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chromosome Mapping</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cohort Effect</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Family</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genotype</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Haplotypes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Models, Genetic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pedigree</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phenotype</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Recombination, Genetic</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014 Apr</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e1004234</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Many existing cohorts contain a range of relatedness between genotyped individuals, either by design or by chance. Haplotype estimation in such cohorts is a central step in many downstream analyses. Using genotypes from six cohorts from isolated populations and two cohorts from non-isolated populations, we have investigated the performance of different phasing methods designed for nominally 'unrelated' individuals. We find that SHAPEIT2 produces much lower switch error rates in all cohorts compared to other methods, including those designed specifically for isolated populations. In particular, when large amounts of IBD sharing is present, SHAPEIT2 infers close to perfect haplotypes. Based on these results we have developed a general strategy for phasing cohorts with any level of implicit or explicit relatedness between individuals. First SHAPEIT2 is run ignoring all explicit family information. We then apply a novel HMM method (duoHMM) to combine the SHAPEIT2 haplotypes with any family information to infer the inheritance pattern of each meiosis at all sites across each chromosome. This allows the correction of switch errors, detection of recombination events and genotyping errors. We show that the method detects numbers of recombination events that align very well with expectations based on genetic maps, and that it infers far fewer spurious recombination events than Merlin. The method can also detect genotyping errors and infer recombination events in otherwise uninformative families, such as trios and duos. The detected recombination events can be used in association scans for recombination phenotypes. The method provides a simple and unified approach to haplotype estimation, that will be of interest to researchers in the fields of human, animal and plant genetics.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

QT prolongation is a risk factor for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD) and could indicate the presence of the potentially lethal mendelian long-QT syndrome (LQTS). Using a genome-wide association and replication study in up to 100,000 individuals, we identified 35 common variant loci associated with QT interval that collectively explain ∼8-10% of QT-interval variation and highlight the importance of calcium regulation in myocardial repolarization. Rare variant analysis of 6 new QT interval-associated loci in 298 unrelated probands with LQTS identified coding variants not found in controls but of uncertain causality and therefore requiring validation. Several newly identified loci encode proteins that physically interact with other recognized repolarization proteins. Our integration of common variant association, expression and orthogonal protein-protein interaction screens provides new insights into cardiac electrophysiology and identifies new candidate genes for ventricular arrhythmias, LQTS and SCD.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

Further, while many identified pubertal timing variants associate with age at menarche, a late manifestation of puberty, and body mass, little is known about these variants' relationship to pubertal initiation or tempo. To address these questions, we performed genome-wide association meta-analysis in over 11 000 European samples with data on early pubertal traits, male genital and female breast development, measured by the Tanner scale. We report the first genome-wide significant locus for male sexual development upstream of myocardin-like 2 (MKL2) (P = 8.9 × 10(-9)), a menarche locus tagging a developmental pathway linking earlier puberty with reduced pubertal growth (P = 4.6 × 10(-5)) and short adult stature (p = 7.5 × 10(-6)) in both males and females. Furthermore, our results indicate that a proportion of menarche loci are important for pubertal initiation in both sexes. Consistent with epidemiological correlations between increased prepubertal body mass and earlier pubertal timing in girls, body mass index (BMI)-increasing alleles correlated with earlier breast development. In boys, some BMI-increasing alleles associated with earlier, and others with delayed, sexual development; these genetic results mimic the controversy in epidemiological studies, some of which show opposing correlations between prepubertal BMI and male puberty. Our results contribute to our understanding of the pubertal initiation program in both sexes and indicate that although mechanisms regulating pubertal onset in males and females may largely be shared, the relationship between body mass and pubertal timing in boys may be complex and requires further genetic studies.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24770850?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pavan, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gortani, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rubinato, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faletra, Flavio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pastore, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A girl with photosensitivity and hepatic steatosis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Pediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

to HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria through the formulation of Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 6. The Global Burden of Disease 2013 study provides a consistent and comprehensive approach to disease estimation for between 1990 and 2013, and an opportunity to assess whether accelerated progress has occured since the Millennium Declaration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;To estimate incidence and mortality for HIV, we used the UNAIDS Spectrum model appropriately modified based on a systematic review of available studies of mortality with and without antiretroviral therapy (ART). For concentrated epidemics, we calibrated Spectrum models to fit vital registration data corrected for misclassification of HIV deaths. In generalised epidemics, we minimised a loss function to select epidemic curves most consistent with prevalence data and demographic data for all-cause mortality. We analysed counterfactual scenarios for HIV to assess years of life saved through prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) and ART. For tuberculosis, we analysed vital registration and verbal autopsy data to estimate mortality using cause of death ensemble modelling. We analysed data for corrected case-notifications, expert opinions on the case-detection rate, prevalence surveys, and estimated cause-specific mortality using Bayesian meta-regression to generate consistent trends in all parameters. We analysed malaria mortality and incidence using an updated cause of death database, a systematic analysis of verbal autopsy validation studies for malaria, and recent studies (2010-13) of incidence, drug resistance, and coverage of insecticide-treated bednets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;Globally in 2013, there were 1·8 million new HIV infections (95% uncertainty interval 1·7 million to 2·1 million), 29·2 million prevalent HIV cases (28·1 to 31·7), and 1·3 million HIV deaths (1·3 to 1·5). At the peak of the epidemic in 2005, HIV caused 1·7 million deaths (1·6 million to 1·9 million). Concentrated epidemics in Latin America and eastern Europe are substantially smaller than previously estimated. Through interventions including PMTCT and ART, 19·1 million life-years (16·6 million to 21·5 million) have been saved, 70·3% (65·4 to 76·1) in developing countries. From 2000 to 2011, the ratio of development assistance for health for HIV to years of life saved through intervention was US$4498 in developing countries. Including in HIV-positive individuals, all-form tuberculosis incidence was 7·5 million (7·4 million to 7·7 million), prevalence was 11·9 million (11·6 million to 12·2 million), and number of deaths was 1·4 million (1·3 million to 1·5 million) in 2013. In the same year and in only individuals who were HIV-negative, all-form tuberculosis incidence was 7·1 million (6·9 million to 7·3 million), prevalence was 11·2 million (10·8 million to 11·6 million), and number of deaths was 1·3 million (1·2 million to 1·4 million). Annualised rates of change (ARC) for incidence, prevalence, and death became negative after 2000. Tuberculosis in HIV-negative individuals disproportionately occurs in men and boys (versus women and girls); 64·0% of cases (63·6 to 64·3) and 64·7% of deaths (60·8 to 70·3). Globally, malaria cases and deaths grew rapidly from 1990 reaching a peak of 232 million cases (143 million to 387 million) in 2003 and 1·2 million deaths (1·1 million to 1·4 million) in 2004. Since 2004, child deaths from malaria in sub-Saharan Africa have decreased by 31·5% (15·7 to 44·1). Outside of Africa, malaria mortality has been steadily decreasing since 1990.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERPRETATION: &lt;/b&gt;Our estimates of the number of people living with HIV are 18·7% smaller than UNAIDS's estimates in 2012. The number of people living with malaria is larger than estimated by WHO. The number of people living with HIV, tuberculosis, or malaria have all decreased since 2000. At the global level, upward trends for malaria and HIV deaths have been reversed and declines in tuberculosis deaths have accelerated. 101 countries (74 of which are developing) still have increasing HIV incidence. Substantial progress since the Millennium Declaration is an encouraging sign of the effect of global action.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FUNDING: &lt;/b&gt;Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9947</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

of a 75% reduction in the maternal mortality ratio (MMR; number of maternal deaths per 100,000 livebirths) between 1990 and 2015. We aimed to measure levels and track trends in maternal mortality, the key causes contributing to maternal death, and timing of maternal death with respect to delivery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We used robust statistical methods including the Cause of Death Ensemble model (CODEm) to analyse a database of data for 7065 site-years and estimate the number of maternal deaths from all causes in 188 countries between 1990 and 2013. We estimated the number of pregnancy-related deaths caused by HIV on the basis of a systematic review of the relative risk of dying during pregnancy for HIV-positive women compared with HIV-negative women. We also estimated the fraction of these deaths aggravated by pregnancy on the basis of a systematic review. To estimate the numbers of maternal deaths due to nine different causes, we identified 61 sources from a systematic review and 943 site-years of vital registration data. We also did a systematic review of reports about the timing of maternal death, identifying 142 sources to use in our analysis. We developed estimates for each country for 1990-2013 using Bayesian meta-regression. We estimated 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs) for all values.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;292,982 (95% UI 261,017-327,792) maternal deaths occurred in 2013, compared with 376,034 (343,483-407,574) in 1990. The global annual rate of change in the MMR was -0·3% (-1·1 to 0·6) from 1990 to 2003, and -2·7% (-3·9 to -1·5) from 2003 to 2013, with evidence of continued acceleration. MMRs reduced consistently in south, east, and southeast Asia between 1990 and 2013, but maternal deaths increased in much of sub-Saharan Africa during the 1990s. 2070 (1290-2866) maternal deaths were related to HIV in 2013, 0·4% (0·2-0·6) of the global total. MMR was highest in the oldest age groups in both 1990 and 2013. In 2013, most deaths occurred intrapartum or postpartum. Causes varied by region and between 1990 and 2013. We recorded substantial variation in the MMR by country in 2013, from 956·8 (685·1-1262·8) in South Sudan to 2·4 (1·6-3·6) in Iceland.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERPRETATION: &lt;/b&gt;Global rates of change suggest that only 16 countries will achieve the MDG 5 target by 2015. Accelerated reductions since the Millennium Declaration in 2000 coincide with increased development assistance for maternal, newborn, and child health. Setting of targets and associated interventions for after 2015 will need careful consideration of regions that are making slow progress, such as west and central Africa.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FUNDING: &lt;/b&gt;Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default"

size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Remarkable financial and political efforts have been focused on the reduction of child mortality during the past few decades. Timely measurements of levels and trends in under-5 mortality are important to assess progress towards the Millennium Development Goal 4 (MDG 4) target of reduction of child mortality by two thirds from 1990 to 2015, and to identify models of success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We generated updated estimates of child mortality in early neonatal (age 0-6 days), late neonatal (7-28 days), postneonatal (29-364 days), childhood (1-4 years), and under-5 (0-4 years) age groups for 188 countries from 1970 to 2013, with more than 29,000 survey, census, vital registration, and sample registration datapoints. We used Gaussian process regression with adjustments for bias and non-sampling error to synthesise the data for under-5 mortality for each country, and a separate model to estimate mortality for more detailed age groups. We used explanatory mixed effects regression models to assess the association between under-5 mortality and income per person, maternal education, HIV child death rates, secular shifts, and other factors. To quantify the contribution of these different factors and birth numbers to the change in numbers of deaths in under-5 age groups from 1990 to 2013, we used Shapley decomposition. We used estimated rates of change between 2000 and 2013 to construct under-5 mortality rate scenarios out to 2030.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;We estimated that 6·3 million (95% UI 6·0-6·6) children under-5 died in 2013, a 64% reduction from 17·6 million (17·1-18·1) in 1970. In 2013, child mortality rates ranged from 152·5 per 1000 livebirths (130·6-177·4) in Guinea-Bissau to 2·3 (1·8-2·9) per 1000 in Singapore. The annualised rates of change from 1990 to 2013 ranged from -6·8% to 0·1%. 99 of 188 countries, including 43 of 48 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, had faster decreases in child mortality during 2000-13 than during 1990-2000. In 2013, neonatal deaths accounted for 41·6% of under-5 deaths compared with 37·4% in 1990. Compared with 1990, in 2013, rising numbers of births, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, led to 1·4 million more child deaths, and rising income per person and maternal education led to 0·9 million and 2·2 million fewer deaths, respectively. Changes in secular trends led to 4·2 million fewer deaths. Unexplained factors accounted for only -1% of the change in child deaths. In 30 developing countries, decreases since 2000 have been faster than predicted attributable to income, education, and secular shift alone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERPRETATION: &lt;/b&gt;Only 27 developing countries are expected to achieve MDG 4. Decreases since 2000 in under-5 mortality rates are accelerating in many developing countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. The Millennium Declaration and increased development assistance for health might have been a factor in faster decreases in some developing countries. Without further accelerated progress, many countries in west and central Africa will still have high levels of under-5 mortality in 2030.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FUNDING: &lt;/b&gt;Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation, US Agency for International Development.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9947</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24797572?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vozzi, D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morgan, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vuckovic, D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Eustacchio, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Abdulhadi, K</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rubinato, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Badii, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girotto, G</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hereditary hearing loss: a 96 gene targeted sequencing protocol reveals novel alleles in a series of Italian and Qatari patients.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alleles</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amino Acid Sequence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carrier Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Extracellular Matrix Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Testing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GPI-Linked Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hearing Loss</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Membrane Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molecular Sequence Data</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mutation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Myosins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neoplasm Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pedigree</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Qatar</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sequence Analysis, DNA</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Serine Endopeptidases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Untranslated Regions</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014 Jun 1</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">542</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">209-16</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Deafness is a really common disorder in humans. It can begin at any age with any degree of severity. Hereditary hearing loss is characterized by a vast genetic heterogeneity with more than 140 loci described in humans but only 65 genes so far identified. Families affected by hearing impairment would have real advantages from an early molecular diagnosis that is of primary relevance in genetic counseling. In this perspective, here we report a family-based approach employing Ion Torrent DNA sequencing technology to analyze coding and UTR regions of 96 genes related to hearing function and loss in a first series of 12 families coming from Italy and Qatar. Using this approach we were able to find the causative gene in 4 out of these 12 families (33%). In particular 5 novel alleles were identified in the following genes LOXHD1, TMPRSS3, TECTA and MYO15A already associated with hearing impairment. Our study confirms the usefulness of a targeted sequencing approach despite larger numbers are required for further validation and for defining a molecular epidemiology picture of hearing loss in these two countries.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24657061?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Voltan, Rebecca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zauli, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rizzo, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fucili, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pannella, Micaela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marci, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tisato, Veronica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrari, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Secchiero, Paola</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In vitro endothelial cell proliferation assay reveals distinct levels of proangiogenic cytokines characterizing sera of healthy subjects and of patients with heart failure.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mediators Inflamm</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mediators Inflamm.</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Proliferation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cells, Cultured</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chemokines</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cytokines</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heart Failure</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neovascularization, Pathologic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prognosis</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">257081</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Although myocardial angiogenesis is thought to play an important role in heart failure (HF), the involvement of circulating proinflammatory and proangiogenic cytokines in the pathogenesis and/or prognosis of HF has not been deeply investigated. By using a highly standardized proliferation assay with human endothelial cells, we first demonstrated that sera from older (mean age 52 ± 7.6 years; n = 46) healthy donors promoted endothelial cell proliferation to a significantly higher extent compared to sera obtained from younger healthy donors (mean age 29 ± 8.6 years; n = 20). The promotion of endothelial cell proliferation was accompanied by high serum levels of several proangiogenic cytokines. When we assessed endothelial cell proliferation in response to HF patients' sera, we observed that a subset of sera (n = 11) promoted cell proliferation to a significantly lesser extent compared to the majority of sera (n = 18). Also, in this case, the difference between the patient groups in the ability to induce endothelial cell proliferation correlated to significant (P &lt; 0.05) differences in serum proangiogenic cytokine levels. Unexpectedly, HF patients associated to the highest endothelial proliferation index showed the worst prognosis as evaluated in terms of subsequent cardiovascular events in the follow-up, suggesting that high levels of circulating proangiogenic cytokines might be related to a worse prognosis.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24778466?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zauli, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tisato, Veronica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Melloni, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Volpato, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cervellati, Carlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bonaccorsi, Gloria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radillo, Oriano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marci, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Secchiero, Paola</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inverse correlation between circulating levels of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand and 17β-estradiol.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Clin Endocrinol Metab</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Moreover, an analysis of women with different conditions revealed a significant inverse correlation between the serum levels of TRAIL and 17β-estradiol, with the lowest levels of TRAIL being observed during pregnancy and the highest in childhood and in postmenopausal women. Moreover, gonadotropin treatment in women undergoing assisted reproduction was accompanied by an acute decrease of serum TRAIL levels. Finally, in vitro treatment with 17β-estradiol decreased the TRAIL expression levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our data suggest that 17β-estradiol plays a role in regulating TRAIL circulating levels. The demonstration that postmenopausal women exhibit the highest TRAIL levels is of particular interest in light of a previous large study population showing that TRAIL is positively correlated to the overall survival.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24446659?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Seta, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parazzini, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Leo, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Banco, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maso, G P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Santo, D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sartore, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stabile, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inglese, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tonon, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Restaino, S</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lactobacillus plantarum P17630 for preventing Candida vaginitis recurrence: a retrospective comparative study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur.

Although the pathogenesis of VVC remains a controversial issue, disruption of the balance between the vaginal microbiota may facilitate overgrowth by Candida. Some probiotic bacterial strains can suppress Candida albicans; Lactobacillus plantarum P17630 is able to attach to vaginal epithelial cells and significantly reduce the adhesion of C. albicans.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;To evaluate the effect of the application of Lactobacillus plantarum P17630 in restoring the vaginal microbiota and prevention of relapses among women with acute VVC undergoing conventional (azole) local and main therapy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Retrospective comparative study. We recruited 89 women with a diagnosis of VVC, who were placed into two groups on the basis of reported treatment. The control group was treated with a daily dose of 2% clotrimazole vaginal cream at bedtime for 3 days, followed by vaginal application of a capsule containing lubricant once a day for 6 days and then once a week for another 4 weeks. The probiotic group was treated with the same azole-based protocol but followed by vaginal application of a capsule containing Lactobacillus plantarum P17630 (&gt;10₈ CFU) once a day for 6 days and then once a week for another 4 weeks beginning the day following clotrimazole discontinuation. Clinical and diagnostic patterns were monitored for three months of follow-up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;At the end of study the probiotic-treated women showed a statistically significant increase in Lactobacillus values &quot;+++&quot; (80% versus 40%, p&lt;0.001) and a better subjective resolution of symptoms such as vaginal discomfort described as burning or itching (90% versus 67.5%, p&lt;0.03). Among controls there was a non-significant increase at 3 months of recurrence of infection, but a significant increase of women with value of pH=5 or &gt;5.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Although the results of different studies are controversial, most have suggested use of probiotics in the prevention or treatment of VVC, and no adverse effects have been reported. Our data with L. plantarum P17630 (Gyno-Canesflor - Bayer) confirm the role of this specific strain as a potential empirical preventive agent for reducing vaginal discomfort after conventional treatment of acute VVC and shifting the vaginal milieu toward a predominance of lactobacilli with an improvement of the vaginal pH value.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25305660?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Buchini, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scarsini, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montico, Marcella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Buzzetti, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decorti, Cinzia</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Management of central venous catheters in pediatric onco-hematology using 0.9% sodium chloride and positive-pressure-valve needleless connector.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur J Oncol Nurs</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur J Oncol Nurs</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Catheter Obstruction</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Catheterization, Central Venous</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Central Venous Catheters</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cohort Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Equipment Design</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hematology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant, Newborn</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oncology Nursing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatric Nursing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Practice Guidelines as Topic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retrospective Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sodium Chloride</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014 Aug</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">393-6</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PURPOSE: &lt;/b&gt;To describe, in a sample of pediatric onco-hematological patients, the rate of occlusions in unused central venous catheters (CVC) flushed once a week with a 0.9% sodium chloride solution through a positive-pressure-valve needleless connector.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHOD: &lt;/b&gt;Retrospective cohort study. Subjects aged 0-17 years were identified through a manual search in medical and nursing records and were observed for two years or until the occurrence of one of the following events: start or resume of continuous infusion; CVC removal; death. The primary study outcome was the frequency of CVC occlusion (partial or complete).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Fifty-one patients were identified (median age 6 years). The median duration of follow-up was 169 days (IQR 111-305). During the follow up period, 14 patients (27%) had one CVC occlusion, in 2 cases (4%) the occlusion was complete, in 12 (23%) partial. All the occlusions were solved without the need for catheter removal. The lumen diameter ≤ 4.2 vs &gt; 4.2 French showed a statistically significant association with occlusion at multivariate analysis (OR 4.0; 95% CI 1.1-14.7).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our findings are reassuring with respect to the management of the CVC using the adopted protocol. The study provides useful information for patient care, by verifying the performance of the adopted CVC management protocol and by identifying critical areas for nursing care.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24735747?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zito, Gabriella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Luppi, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giolo, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martinelli, Monica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Venturin, Irene</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Lorenzo, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Medical treatments for endometriosis-associated pelvic pain.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biomed Res Int</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biomed Res Int</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Endometriosis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Histone Deacetylase Inhibitors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hormone Antagonists</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pain Management</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pelvic Pain</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Progestins</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">191967</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The main sequelae of endometriosis are represented by infertility and chronic pelvic pain. Chronic pelvic pain causes disability and distress with a very high economic impact. In the last decades, an impressive amount of pharmacological agents have been tested for the treatment of endometriosis-associated pelvic pain. However, only a few of these have been introduced into clinical practice. Following the results of the controlled studies available, to date, the first-line treatment for endometriosis associated pain is still represented by oral contraceptives used continuously. Progestins represent an acceptable alternative. In women with rectovaginal lesions or colorectal endometriosis, norethisterone acetate at low dosage should be preferred. GnRH analogues may be used as second-line treatment, but significant side effects should be taken into account. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are widely used, but there is inconclusive evidence for their efficacy in relieving endometriosis-associated pelvic pain. Other agents such as GnRH antagonist, aromatase inhibitors, immunomodulators, selective progesterone receptor modulators, and histone deacetylase inhibitors seem to be very promising, but there is not enough evidence to support their introduction into routine clinical practice. Some other agents, such as peroxisome proliferator activated receptors-γ ligands, antiangiogenic agents, and melatonin have been proven to be efficacious in animal studies, but they have not yet been tested in clinical studies.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

an inherited disease characterized by congenital malformations, pancytopenia, cancer predisposition, and sensitivity to cross-linking agents. The molecular diagnosis of Fanconi anemia is relatively complex for several aspects including genetic heterogeneity with mutations in at least 16 different genes. In this paper, we report the mutations identified in 100 unrelated probands enrolled into the National Network of the Italian Association of Pediatric Hematoly and Oncology. In approximately half of these cases, mutational screening was carried out after retroviral complementation analyses or protein analysis. In the other half, the analysis was performed on the most frequently mutated genes or using a next generation sequencing approach. We identified 108 distinct variants of the FANCA, FANCG, FANCC, FANCD2, and FANCB genes in 85, 9, 3, 2, and 1 families, respectively. Despite the relatively high number of private mutations, 45 of which are novel Fanconi anemia alleles, 26% of the FANCA alleles are due to 5 distinct mutations. Most of the mutations are large genomic deletions and nonsense or frameshift mutations, although we identified a series of missense mutations, whose pathogenetic role was not always certain. The molecular diagnosis of Fanconi anemia is still a tiered procedure that requires identifying candidate genes to avoid useless sequencing. Introduction of next generation sequencing strategies will greatly improve the diagnostic process, allowing a rapid analysis of all the genes.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24584348?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Rocco, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cerqua, Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goffrini, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Russo, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pastore, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meloni, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nicchia, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moraes, Carlos T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecci, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salviati, Leonardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savoia, Anna</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mutations of cytochrome c identified in patients with thrombocytopenia THC4 affect both apoptosis and cellular bioenergetics.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biochim Biophys Acta</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biochim.

Some forms, such as thrombocytopenia 4 (THC4), are very rare and not well characterized. THC4 is an autosomal dominant mild thrombocytopenia described in only one large family from New Zealand and due to a mutation (G41S) of the somatic isoform of the cytochrome c (CYCS) gene. We report a novel CYCS mutation (Y48H) in patients from an Italian family. Similar to individuals carrying G41S, they have platelets of normal size and morphology, which are only partially reduced in number, but no prolonged bleeding episodes. In order to determine the pathogenetic consequences of Y48H, we studied the effects of the two CYCS mutations in yeast and mouse cellular models. In both cases, we found reduction of respiratory level and increased apoptotic rate, supporting the pathogenetic role of CYCS in thrombocytopenia.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24326104?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecci, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Klersy, Catherine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gresele, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lee, Kieran J D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Rocco, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bozzi, Valeria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Russo, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heller, Paula G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Loffredo, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ballmaier, Matthias</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabris, Fabrizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beggiato, Eloise</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kahr, Walter H A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pujol-Moix, Núria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Platokouki, Helen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Van Geet, Christel</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Noris, Patrizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yerram, Preethi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hermans, Cedric</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gerber, Bernhard</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Economou, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Groot, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zieger, Barbara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Candia, Erica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fraticelli, Vincenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kersseboom, Rogier</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piccoli, Giorgina B</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zimmermann, Stefanie</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fierro, Tiziana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Glembotsky, Ana C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vianello, Fabrizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zaninetti, Carlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nicchia, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Güthner, Christiane</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baronci, Carlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seri, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Knight, Peter J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Balduini, Carlo L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savoia, Anna</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MYH9-related disease: a novel prognostic model to predict the clinical evolution of the disease based on genotype-phenotype correlations.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum Mutat</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum.

MYH9-RD is characterized by a considerable variability in clinical evolution: patients present at birth with only thrombocytopenia, but some of them subsequently develop sensorineural deafness, cataract, and/or nephropathy often leading to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). We searched for genotype-phenotype correlations in the largest series of consecutive MYH9-RD patients collected so far (255 cases from 121 families). Association of genotypes with noncongenital features was assessed by a generalized linear regression model. The analysis defined disease evolution associated to seven different MYH9 genotypes that are responsible for 85% of MYH9-RD cases. Mutations hitting residue R702 demonstrated a complete penetrance for early-onset ESRD and deafness. The p.D1424H substitution associated with high risk of developing all the noncongenital manifestations of disease. Mutations hitting a distinct hydrophobic seam in the NMMHC-IIA head domain or substitutions at R1165 associated with high risk of deafness but low risk of nephropathy or cataract. Patients with p.E1841K, p.D1424N, and C-terminal deletions had low risk of noncongenital defects. These findings are essential to patients' clinical management and genetic counseling and are discussed in view of molecular pathogenesis of MYH9-RD.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24186861?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rubinato, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morgan, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Eustacchio, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecile, Vanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gortani, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faletra, Flavio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A novel deletion mutation involving TMEM38B in a patient with autosomal recessive osteogenesis imperfecta.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chromosomes, Human, Pair 19</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA Mutational Analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Exons</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genes, Recessive</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Homozygote</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ion Channels</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Osteogenesis Imperfecta</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sequence Deletion</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014 Jul 25</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">545</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">290-2</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a hereditary bone disease characterized by decreased bone density and multiple fractures, usually inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Several gene encoding proteins related to collagen metabolism have been described in some cases of autosomal recessive OI (including CRTAP, LEPRE1, PPIB, FKBP65, SERPINF1, BMP1, WNT1, FKBP10). Recently, TMEM38B, a gene that encodes TRIC-B, a monovalent cation-specific channel involved in calcium flux from intracellular stores and in cell differentiation, has been associated with autosomal recessive OI. Here, we describe the second deletion-mutation involving the TMEM38B gene in an 11 year-old Albanian female with a clinical phenotype of OI, born to parents with suspected consanguinity. SNP array analysis revealed a homozygous region larger than 2 Mb that overlapped with the TMEM38B locus and was characterized by a 35 kb homozygous deletion involving exons 1 and 2 of TMEM38B gene.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24835313?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bernardi, Stella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabris, Bruno</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thomas, Merlin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toffoli, Barbara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tikellis, Christos</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Candido, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Catena, Cristiana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mulatero, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbone, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radillo, Oriano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zauli, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Secchiero, Paola</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Osteoprotegerin increases in metabolic syndrome and promotes adipose tissue proinflammatory changes.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Cell Endocrinol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol.

Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a soluble protein that seems to exert proatherogenic and prodiabetogenic effects. This study aims at determining OPG levels in MetS and whether OPG might contribute to MetS development and progression.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;Circulating OPG was measured in 46 patients with MetS and 63 controls, and was found significantly elevated in those with MetS. In addition, circulating and tissue OPG was significantly increased in high-fat diet (HFD) fed C57BL6 mice, which is one of the animal models for the study of MetS. To evaluate the consequences of OPG elevation, we delivered this protein to C57BL6 mice, finding that it promoted systemic and adipose tissue proinflammatory changes in association with metabolic abnormalities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: &lt;/b&gt;These data suggest that OPG may trigger adipose tissue proinflammatory changes in MetS/HFD-induced obesity.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24998520?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Athanasakis, Emmanouil</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Melloni, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rigolin, Gian Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agnoletto, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Voltan, Rebecca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vozzi, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piscianz, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, Ludovica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">dal Monego, Simeone</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cuneo, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Secchiero, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zauli, Giorgio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The p53 transcriptional pathway is preserved in ATMmutated and NOTCH1mutated chronic lymphocytic leukemias.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oncotarget</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oncotarget</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aged, 80 and over</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Base Sequence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genes, p53</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Models, Molecular</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molecular Sequence Data</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mutation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Receptor, Notch1</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Signal Transduction</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tumor Suppressor Protein p53</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014 Dec 30</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12635-45</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;By using next generation sequencing, we have analyzed 108 B chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) patients. Among genes involved in the TP53 pathway, we found frequent mutations in ATM (n=18), TP53 (n=10) and NOTCH1 (n=10) genes, rare mutations of NOTCH2 (n=2) and CDKN1A/p21 (n=1) and no mutations in BAX, MDM2, TNFRSF10A and TNFRSF10B genes. The in vitro treatment of primary B-CLL cells with the activator of p53 Nutlin-3 induced the transcription of p53 target genes, without significant differences between the B-CLL without mutations and those harboring either ATM or NOTCH1mutations. On the other hand, the subgroup of TP53mutated B-CLL exhibited a significantly lower induction of the p53 target genes in response to Nutlin-3 as compared to the other B-CLL samples. However, among the TP53mutated B-CLL, those showing mutations in the high hot spot region of the DNA binding domain [273-280 aa] maintained a significantly higher p53-dependent transcriptional activity as compared to the other TP53mutated B-CLL samples. Since the ability to elicit a p53-dependent transcriptional activity in vitro has a positive prognostic significance, our data suggest that ATMmutated, NOTCH1mutated and surprisingly, also a subset of TP53mutated B-CLL patients might benefit from therapeutic combinations including small molecule activator of the p53 pathway.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default"

marker of timing of puberty in females. It varies widely between individuals, is a heritable trait and is associated with risks for obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, breast cancer and all-cause mortality. Studies of rare human disorders of puberty and animal models point to a complex hypothalamic-pituitary-hormonal regulation, but the mechanisms that determine pubertal timing and underlie its links to disease risk remain unclear. Here, using genome-wide and custom-genotyping arrays in up to 182,416 women of European descent from 57 studies, we found robust evidence (P &lt; 5 × 10(-8)) for 123 signals at 106 genomic loci associated with age at menarche. Many loci were associated with other pubertal traits in both sexes, and there was substantial overlap with genes implicated in body mass index and various diseases, including rare disorders of puberty. Menarche signals were enriched in imprinted regions, with three loci (DLK1-WDR25, MKRN3-MAGEL2 and KCNK9) demonstrating parent-of-origin-specific associations concordant with known parental expression patterns. Pathway analyses implicated nuclear hormone receptors, particularly retinoic acid and γ-aminobutyric acid-B2 receptor signalling, among novel mechanisms that regulate pubertal timing in humans. Our findings suggest a genetic architecture involving at least hundreds of common variants in the coordinated timing of the pubertal transition.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal"

face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;The fetal and infant life are periods of rapid development, characterized by high susceptibility to exposures. Birth cohorts provide unique opportunities to study early-life exposures in association with child development and health, as well as, with longer follow-up, the early life origin of adult diseases. Piccolipiù is an Italian birth cohort recently set up to investigate the effects of environmental exposures, parental conditions and social factors acting during pre-natal and early post-natal life on infant and child health and development. We describe here its main characteristics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS/DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;Piccolipiù is a prospective cohort of expected 3000 newborns, who will be recruiting in six maternity units of five Italian cities (Florence, Rome, Trieste, Turin and Viareggio) since October 2011. Mothers are contacted during pregnancy or at delivery and are offered to participate in the study. Upon acceptance, their newborns are recruited at birth and followed up until at least 18 years of age. At recruitment, the mothers donate a blood sample and complete a baseline questionnaire. Umbilical cord blood, pieces of umbilical cord and heel blood spots are also collected. Postnatal follow-up currently occurs at 6, 12, and 24 months of age using on-line or postal self administered questionnaire; further questionnaires and medical examinations are envisaged. Questionnaires collect information on several factors, including mother's and/or child's environmental exposures, anthropometric measures, reproductive factors, diet, supplements, medical history, cognitive development, mental health and socioeconomic factors. Health promotion materials are also offered to parents.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DISCUSSION: &lt;/b&gt;Piccolipiù will broaden our understanding of the contribution of early-life factors to infant and child health and development. Several hypotheses on the developmental origins of health can be tested or piloted using the data collected from the Piccolipiù cohort. By pooling these data with those collected by other existing birth cohorts it will be possible to validate previous findings and to study rare exposures and outcomes.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24506846?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app

platelet size are one of the distinguishing features of inherited thrombocytopenias (ITs), and evaluation of blood films is recommended as an essential step for differential diagnosis of these disorders. Nevertheless, what we presently know about this subject is derived mainly from anecdotal evidence. To improve knowledge in this field, we evaluated platelet size on blood films obtained from 376 patients with all 19 forms of IT identified so far and found that these conditions differ not only in mean platelet diameter, but also in platelet diameter distribution width and the percentage of platelets with increased or reduced diameters. On the basis of these findings, we propose a new classification of ITs according to platelet size. It distinguishes forms with giant platelets, with large platelets, with normal or slightly increased platelet size, and with normal or slightly decreased platelet size. We also measured platelet diameters in 87 patients with immune thrombocytopenia and identified cutoff values for mean platelet diameter and the percentage of platelets with increased or reduced size that have good diagnostic accuracy in differentiating ITs with giant platelets and with normal or slightly decreased platelet size from immune thrombocytopenia and all other forms of IT.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24990887?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Necchi, Vittorio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sommi, Patrizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vitali, Agostina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vanoli, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savoia, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Vittorio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Solcia, Enrico</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polyubiquitinated proteins, proteasome, and glycogen characterize the particle-rich cytoplasmic structure (PaCS) of neoplastic and fetal cells.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Histochem Cell Biol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Histochem.

Ultrastructurally similar particulate cytoplasmic structures, interpreted as glycogen deposits, have previously been reported in clear-cell neoplasms and some fetal tissues. It remains to be investigated whether the two structures are the same, colocalize UPS components and polysaccharides, and have a role in highly proliferative cells such as fetal and neoplastic cells. We used immunogold electron microscopy and confocal immunofluorescence microscopy to examine human and mouse fetal tissues and human neoplasms. Fetal and neoplastic cells both showed colocalization of polyubiquitinated proteins, 19S and 20S proteasomes, and polysaccharides, both glycogen and chondroitin sulfate, inside cytoplasmic structures showing all distinctive features of PaCSs. Poorly demarcated and/or hybrid (ribosomes admixed) UPS- and glycogen-enriched areas, likely stages in PaCS development, were also seen in some fetal cells, with special reference to those, like primary alveolar pulmonary cells or pancreatic centroacinar cells, having a crucial role in organogenesis. UPS- and glycogen-rich PaCSs developed extensively in clear-cell neoplasms of the kidney, ovary, pancreas, and other organs, as well as, in infantile, development-related tumors replicating fetal patterns, such as choroid plexus papilloma. UPS-mediated, ATP-dependent proteolysis and its potential energy source, glycogen metabolism, may have a crucial, synergic role in embryo-/organogenesis and carcinogenesis.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24577783?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robino, Antonietta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mezzavilla, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pirastu, Nicola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dognini, Maddalena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tepper, Beverly J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A population-based approach to study the impact of PROP perception on food liking in populations along the Silk Road.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PLoS One</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PLoS ONE</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Armenia</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Azerbaijan</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Food</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Association Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genotype</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Haplotypes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Propylthiouracil</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Receptors, G-Protein-Coupled</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tajikistan</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taste</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taste Perception</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Uzbekistan</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e91716</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Taste is one of the main factors determining food choices. Differences in PROP bitter taste perception have been implicated in individual differences in food preferences and selection. The present study examined associations between, PROP phenotypes, self-reported food liking and TAS2R38 polymorphisms, the major gene implicated in PROP bitterness, in six different populations of the Caucasus and Central Asia, located along the ancient Silk Road. Differences in the distribution of PROP phenotypes across populations were detected, with a higher frequency of super tasters in Tajikistan (31.3%) and Armenia (39.0%) and a higher frequency of non tasters in Georgia (50.9%). While no relationships were observed between PROP phenotypes and food liking using standard statistical tests, we used an approach based on comparison of distance matrices derived from these data. The first matrix compared the food liking ratings of each population to all others pairwise using the Kruskal-Wallis test (at p&lt;0.00063), and the second one compared the distribution of PROP phenotypes across all populations in a similar manner calculating the chi-square statistic as a distance measure. A strong correlation between the two matrices was found (Mantel test: r = 0.67, p-value = 0.03), suggesting that the pattern of food liking across populations was closely related to the distribution of PROP phenotypes. This same relationship was not observed when TAS2R38 genotypes were substituted for PROP phenotypes in this analysis. Our data suggest that a population-based approach utilizing distance matrices is a useful technique for detecting PROP-related differences in food liking and can be applied to other taste phenotypes.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24626196?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Roia, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paviotti, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferluga, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montico, Marcella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tamburlini, Giorgio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Promoting effective child development practices in the first year of life: does timing make a difference?</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC Pediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC Pediatr</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">222</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;There is an increasing need for parenting programs aimed at promoting parent-child interaction. A variety of interventions have been proposed. The use of audiovisual materials for parents has been shown to be effective but limited information is available on the optimal timing for its use, particularly for new parents during the first year of life of their children. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a video administered at two different times to first-time parents in modifying parental knowledge, attitudes and intentions with regards to effective care practices.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Open randomized controlled trial carried out in a referral mother and child hospital. Eligible parents were randomly assigned to receive a video at one month (early intervention) or at seven months (late intervention) of age of their child. The video addressed four specific activities related to early child development: reading aloud to the baby, early exposure to music, promotion of early socialization for parents and for children. The primary outcome was the proportion of parents who declared that their knowledge, attitudes and intentions changed after having seen the video at one or seven months of age of the child.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;One hundred and five families were randomly allocated either to the early (53) or to the late (52) intervention group. For 99 families (52 in the early and 47 in the late group) a complete outcome evaluation was available. Parents included in the early administration group more frequently reported modifications in their knowledge of the suggested practices while parents in the late group more frequently reported a change in their attitudes. This finding was consistent across all four practices. The video was found to influence parental intentions in the great majority of interviewed parents with no significant difference between groups (82.7% and 87.2% in the early and late intervention group, respectively).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Audiovisual materials can be an effective complementary tool in programs aimed at supporting parents, particularly those dealing with their first baby.

In an uncontrolled study published in 2005, administration of CMV-specific hyperimmune globulin to pregnant women with primary CMV infection significantly reduced the rate of intrauterine transmission, from 40% to 16%.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We evaluated the efficacy of hyperimmune globulin in a phase 2, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study. A total of 124 pregnant women with primary CMV infection at 5 to 26 weeks of gestation were randomly assigned within 6 weeks after the presumed onset of infection to receive hyperimmune globulin or placebo every 4 weeks until 36 weeks of gestation or until detection of CMV in amniotic fluid. The primary end point was congenital infection diagnosed at birth or by means of amniocentesis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;A total of 123 women could be evaluated in the efficacy analysis (1 woman in the placebo group withdrew). The rate of congenital infection was 30% (18 fetuses or infants of 61 women) in the hyperimmune globulin group and 44% (27 fetuses or infants of 62 women) in the placebo group (a difference of 14 percentage points; 95% confidence interval, -3 to 31; P=0.13). There was no significant difference between the two groups or, within each group, between the women who transmitted the virus and those who did not, with respect to levels of virus-specific antibodies, T-cell-mediated immune response, or viral DNA in the blood. The clinical outcome of congenital infection at birth was similar in the two groups. The number of obstetrical adverse events was higher in the hyperimmune globulin group than in the placebo group (13% vs. 2%).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;In this study involving 123 women who could be evaluated, treatment with hyperimmune globulin did not significantly modify the course of primary CMV infection during pregnancy.

After an extensive review of the literature, we took these issues into account: self-monitoring blood glucose, continuous glucose monitoring, glycemic variability, glycosuria, ketonuria, ketonemia, glycated hemoglobin, fructosamine and glycated albumin, logbook, data downloading, lancing devices, carbohydrate counting, and glycemic measurements at school. We concluded that clinical guidelines on self-management should be developed in every country with faithful adaptation to local languages and taking into account specific contexts and local peculiarities, without any substantial modifications to the international recommendations. We believe that the National Health Service should provide all necessary resources to ensure self-monitoring of blood glucose and possibly continuous glucose monitoring of all children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes, according to the standards of care provided by these recommendations and internationally.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24162715?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Flaugnacco, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lopez, Luisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Terribili, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zoia, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Buda, Sonia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tilli, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montico, Marcella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sila, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schön, Daniele</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rhythm perception and production predict reading abilities in developmental dyslexia.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Front Hum Neurosci</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Front Hum Neurosci</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">392</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Rhythm organizes events in time and plays a major role in music, but also in the phonology and prosody of a language. Interestingly, children with developmental dyslexia-a learning disability that affects reading acquisition despite normal intelligence and adequate education-have a poor rhythmic perception. It has been suggested that an accurate perception of rhythmical/metrical structure, that requires accurate perception of rise time, may be critical for phonological development and subsequent literacy. This hypothesis is mostly based on results showing a high degree of correlation between phonological awareness and metrical skills, using a very specific metrical task. We present new findings from the analysis of a sample of 48 children with a diagnosis of dyslexia, without comorbidities. These children were assessed with neuropsychological tests, as well as specifically-devised psychoacoustic and musical tasks mostly testing temporal abilities. Associations were tested by multivariate analyses including data mining strategies, correlations and most importantly logistic regressions to understand to what extent the different auditory and musical skills can be a robust predictor of reading and phonological skills. Results show a strong link between several temporal skills and phonological and reading abilities. These findings are discussed in the framework of the neuroscience literature comparing music and language processing, with a particular interest in the links between rhythm processing in music and language.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24926248?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Restaino, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Lorenzo, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fanfani, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scrimin, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mangino, Francesco P</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk of Essure microinsert abdominal migration: case report and review of literature.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ther Clin Risk Manag</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ther Clin Risk Manag</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">963-8</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PURPOSE: &lt;/b&gt;To report a case of Essure microinsert abdominal migration and literature review.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A 41-year-old woman was counseled to undergo Essure sterilization. The procedure was hampered by the presence of endometrial cavity adhesions, obscuring left tubal ostium. By using microscissors the adhesions were progressively lysed. Since the procedure had become very painful, the patient required general anesthesia. Once adhesion lysis was completed, the tubal ostium was well visible. Both devices were then easily introduced into the fallopian tubes. At the end of the procedure, five coils were visible on the right side and five coils on the left side, as recommended.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The 3-month hysterosalpingogram follow-up suspected abdominal migration of the left device. Laparoscopy confirmed the device displacement in the left lower abdominal quadrant. Both fallopian tubes and the uterus appeared normal. No signs of perforation were detected. The device was embedded into the omentum, but it was easily removed. Bilateral tubal sterilization was performed by bipolar coagulation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;There are only 13 cases, including the present, of Essure abdominal migration in the literature. In most cases, abdominal displacement of the microinsert is asymptomatic and does not induce tissue damage. However, in some cases, it may cause a severe adverse event, requiring major surgery. Therefore, removal of the migrated device should be performed as soon as possible. Moreover, during presterilization counseling, the patient should also be correctly informed about the risk of this rare but relevant complication, as well as about the surgical interventions that could be required to solve it.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25484591?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ruggenenti, Piero</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ruggiero, Barbara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cravedi, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vivarelli, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Massella, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marasà, Maddalena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chianca, Antonietta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rubis, Nadia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ene-Iordache, Bogdan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rudnicki, Michael</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pollastro, Rosa Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Capasso, Giovambattista</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pisani, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pennesi, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Emma, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Remuzzi, Giuseppe</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rituximab in Nephrotic Syndrome of Steroid-Dependent or Frequently Relapsing Minimal Change Disease Or Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (NEMO) Study Group</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rituximab in steroid-dependent or frequently relapsing idiopathic nephrotic syndrome.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Am Soc Nephrol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

This academic, multicenter, off-on trial (ClinicalTrials.gov #NCT00981838) primarily evaluated the effects of rituximab therapy followed by immunosuppression withdrawal on disease recurrence in 10 children and 20 adults with MCD/MesGN (n=22) or FSGS who had suffered ≥2 recurrences over the previous year and were in steroid-induced remission for ≥1 month. Participants received one dose (n=28) or two doses of rituximab (375 mg/m(2) intravenously). At 1 year, all patients were in remission: 18 were treatment-free and 15 never relapsed. Compared with the year before rituximab treatment, total relapses decreased from 88 to 22 and the per-patient median number of relapses decreased from 2.5 (interquartile range [IQR], 2-4) to 0.5 (IQR, 0-1; P&lt;0.001) during 1 year of follow-up. Reduction was significant across subgroups (children, adults, MCD/MesGN, and FSGS; P&lt;0.01). After rituximab, the per-patient steroid maintenance median dose decreased from 0.27 mg/kg (IQR, 0.19-0.60) to 0 mg/kg (IQR, 0-0.23) (P&lt;0.001), and the median cumulative dose to achieve relapse remission decreased from 19.5 mg/kg (IQR, 13.0-29.2) to 0.5 mg/kg (IQR, 0-9.4) (P&lt;0.001). Furthermore, the mean estimated GFR increased from 111.3±25.7 to 121.8±29.2 ml/min per 1.73 m(2) (P=0.01), with the largest increases in children and in FSGS subgroups. The mean height z score slope stabilized in children (P&lt;0.01). Treatment was well tolerated. Rituximab effectively and safely prevented recurrences and reduced the need for immunosuppression in steroid-dependent or frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome, and halted disease-associated growth deficit in children.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24480824?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberico, Salvatore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montico, Marcella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barresi, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Businelli, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soini, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Erenbourg, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maso, Gianpaolo</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Multicentre Study Group on Mode of Delivery in Friuli Venezia Giulia</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The role of gestational diabetes, pre-pregnancy body mass index and gestational weight gain on the risk of newborn macrosomia: results from a prospective multicentre study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC Pregnancy Childbirth</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC Pregnancy Childbirth</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Birth Weight</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Body Height</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Body Mass Index</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diabetes, Gestational</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fetal Macrosomia</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gestational Age</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant, Newborn</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Obesity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy in Diabetics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prospective Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Weight Gain</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Young Adult</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;It is crucial to identify in large population samples the most important determinants of excessive fetal growth.

Multiple logistic regression models were built to assess the independent association between potential predictors and macrosomia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Maternal obesity (adjusted OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.4-2.2), excessive gestational weight gain (adjusted OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.6-2.2) and diabetes (adjusted OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.5-3.0 for gestational; adjusted OR 3.0, 95% CI 1.2-7.6 for pre-gestational) resulted to be independent predictors of macrosomia, when adjusted for other recognized risk factors. Since no significant interaction was found between pre-gestational BMI and gestational weight gain, excessive weight gain should be considered an independent risk factor for macrosomia. In the sub-group of women affected by gestational or pre-gestational diabetes, pre-gestational BMI was not significantly associated to macrosomia, while excessive pregnancy weight gain, maternal height and gestational age at delivery were significantly associated. In this sub-population, pregnancy weight gain less than recommended was not significantly associated to a reduction in macrosomia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our findings indicate that maternal obesity, gestational weight gain excess and diabetes should be considered as independent risk factors for newborn macrosomia. To adequately evaluate the clinical evolution of pregnancy all three variables need to be carefully assessed and monitored.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24428895?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wolber, Lisa E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girotto, Giorgia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Buniello, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vuckovic, Dragana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pirastu, Nicola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lorente-Cánovas, Beatriz</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rudan, Igor</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hayward, Caroline</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polasek, Ozren</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ciullo, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mangino, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Steves, Claire</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Concas, Maria Pina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cocca, Massilimiliano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spector, Tim D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Steel, Karen P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Williams, Frances M K</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salt-inducible kinase 3, SIK3, is a new gene associated with hearing.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum Mol Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum.

In this study, genome-wide association results of hearing function from the G-EAR consortium and TwinsUK were used for meta-analysis. Hearing ability in eight population samples of Northern and Southern European ancestry (n = 4591) and the Silk Road (n = 348) was measured using pure-tone audiometry and summarized using principal component (PC) analysis. Genome-wide association analyses for PC1-3 were conducted separately in each sample assuming an additive model adjusted for age, sex and relatedness of subjects. Meta-analysis was performed using 2.3 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) tested against each of the three PCs of hearing ability in 4939 individuals. A single SNP lying in intron 6 of the salt-inducible kinase 3 (SIK3) gene was found to be associated with hearing PC2 (P = 3.7×10(-8)) and further supported by whole-genome sequence in a subset. To determine the relevance of this gene in the ear, expression of the Sik3 protein was studied in mouse cochlea of different ages. Sik3 was expressed in murine hair cells during early development and in cells of the spiral ganglion during early development and adulthood. Our results suggest a developmental role of Sik3 in hearing and may be required for the maintenance of adult auditory function.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25060954?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pastore, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paloni, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caorsi, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taddio, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lepore, Loredana</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CAPS Italian Register</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Serum amyloid protein A concentration in cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes patients treated with interleukin-1 beta antagonist.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin Exp Rheumatol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin.

The aim of our study was to evaluate serum amyloid protein A (SAA) level in CAPS patients treated with Interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) antagonist and to correlate its level with treatment response.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;All patients of CAPS Italian Register treated with IL-1β inhibitor were enrolled. SAA levels before starting therapy, and at last visit were evaluated. Patients were then divided in complete responders and partial responders.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Twenty-five patients were enrolled. SAA level before starting therapy was increased (median 118.5 mg/L, IQR 96.4-252.8; normal value &lt;6.4 mg/L), while at last visit SAA was significantly reduced (median 4.3 mg/L, IQR 2.3-12.7) (p&lt;0.001). However 12 patients still presented SAA levels beyond normal range, 10/25 patients (40%) showed a complete response to treatment. Conversely, 15 patients presented only a partial response, of which 12 for increased SAA value and 3 for increased CRP value. Patients with partial response had SAA values significantly higher than patients with complete response (median 12.6 mg/L; IQR 8.3-20.0 vs. 2.7 mg/L; IQR 1.6-4.1, p&lt;0.001).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our results confirm the long term efficacy of anti IL-1β treatment in CAPS and the decrease of SAA levels; however 48% of patients still presented SAA elevation despite treatment. The real risk of these patients in developing amyloidosis is not clear but the persistent increase of SAA needs a close follow-up.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4 Suppl 84</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25069027?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lenarduzzi, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morgutti, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coiana, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rosatelli, M C</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Short communication: novel truncating mutations in the CFTR gene causing a severe form of cystic fibrosis in Italian patients.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genet Mol Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genet.

More than 1800 different mutations have been described to date. Here, we report 3 novel mutations in CFTR in 3 Italian CF patients. To detect and identify 36 frequent mutations in Caucasians, we used the INNO-LiPA CFTR19 and INNO-LiPA CFTR17+Tn Update kits (Innogenetics; Ghent, Belgium). Our first analysis did not reveal both of the responsible mutations; thus, direct sequencing of the CFTR gene coding region was performed. The 3 patients were compound heterozygous. In one allele, the F508del (c.1521_1523delCTT, p.PHE508del) mutation in exon 11 was observed in each case. For the second allele, in patient No.1, direct sequencing revealed an 11-base pair deletion (GAGGCGATACT) in exon 14 (c.2236_2246del; pGlu746Alafs*29). In patient No. 2, direct sequencing revealed a nonsense mutation at nucleotide 3892 (c.3892G&gt;T) in exon 24. In patient No. 3, direct sequencing revealed a deletion of cytosine in exon 27 (c.4296delC; p.Asn1432Lysfs*16). These 3 novel mutations indicate the production of a truncated protein, which consequently results in a non-functional polypeptide.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25501174?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caselli, Désirée</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Petris, Maria Grazia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rondelli, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carraro, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Colombini, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Muggeo, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ziino, Ottavio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Melchionda, Fraia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Russo, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pierani, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soncini, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DeSantis, Raffaella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanazzo, Giulio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barone, Angelica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cesaro, Simone</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cellini, Monica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mura, Rossella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milano, Giuseppe M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meazza, Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cicalese, Maria P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tropia, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Masi, Salvatore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Castagnola, Elio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aricò, Maurizio</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infectious Diseases Working Group of the Associazione Italiana Ematologia Oncologia Pediatrica</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Single-day trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole prophylaxis for Pneumocystis pneumonia in children with cancer.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Pediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Current recommended regimens for prophylaxis against PCP range from daily administration to 3 consecutive days per week dosing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;STUDY DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;A prospective survey of the regimens adopted for the PCP prophylaxis in all patients treated for childhood cancer at pediatric hematology-oncology centers of the Associazione Italiana Ematologia Oncologia Pediatrica.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The 20 centers participating in the study reported a total of 2466 patients, including 1093 with solid tumor and 1373 with leukemia/lymphoma (or primary immunodeficiency; n = 2). Of these patients, 1371 (55.6%) received the 3-day/week prophylaxis regimen, 406 (16.5%) received the 2-day/week regimen, and 689 (27.9%), including 439 with leukemia/lymphoma, received the 1-day/week regimen. Overall, only 2 cases of PCP (0.08%) were reported, both in the 2-day/week group. By intention to treat, the cumulative incidence of PCP at 3 years was 0.09% overall (95% CI, 0.00-0.40%) and 0.51% for the 2-day/week group (95% CI, 0.10%-2.00%). Remarkably, both patients who failed had withdrawn from prophylaxis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;A single-day course of prophylaxis with trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole may be sufficient to prevent PCP in children with cancer undergoing intensive chemotherapy regimens. This simplified strategy might have implications for the emerging need for PCP prophylaxis in other patients subjected to the increased use of biological and nonbiological agents that induce higher levels of immune suppression, such as those with rheumatic diseases.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24252793?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agnoletto, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Melloni, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Casciano, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rigolin, Gian Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rimondi, Erika</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celeghini, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brunelli, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cuneo, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Secchiero, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zauli, Giorgio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sodium dichloroacetate exhibits anti-leukemic activity in B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) and synergizes with the p53 activator Nutlin-3.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oncotarget</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oncotarget</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aged, 80 and over</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dichloroacetic Acid</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Drug Synergism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Imidazoles</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piperazines</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tumor Suppressor Protein p53</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014 Jun 30</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4347-60</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The anti-leukemic activity of the mitochondria-targeting small molecule sodium dichloroacetate (DCA), used alone and in association with the small molecule inhibitor of the p53/MDM2 interaction Nutlin-3, was analyzed in primary B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) samples (n=22), normal peripheral blood cells (n=10) and in p53wild-type EHEB, JVM-2, JVM-3 B lymphoblastoid cell lines. DCA exhibited a dose-dependent anti-leukemic activity in both primary B-CLL and B leukemic cell lines with a functional p53 status and showed a synergistic cytotoxic activity when used in combination with Nutlin-3. At the molecular level, DCA positively regulated p53 activity, as documented by post-transcriptional modifications of p53 protein and synergized with Nutlin-3 in increasing the expression of the p53-target genes MDM2, PUMA, TIGAR and in particular p21. The potential role of p21 in mediating the DCA+Nutlin-3 anti-leukemic activity was underscored in knocking-down experiments. Indeed, transfection of leukemic cells with p21 siRNAs significantly decreased the DCA+Nutlin-3-induced cytotoxicity. Taken together, our data emphasize that DCA is a molecule that merits to be further evaluated as a chemotherapeutic agent for B-CLL, likely in combination with other therapeutic compounds.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24962518?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zauli, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celeghini, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martinelli, Monica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Luppi, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gonelli, Arianna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grill, Vittorio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Secchiero, Paola</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soluble TRAIL is present at high concentrations in seminal plasma and promotes spermatozoa survival.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reproduction</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reproduction</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Apoptosis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Flow Cytometry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infertility, Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Receptors, TNF-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Semen</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sperm Capacitation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sperm Motility</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spermatozoa</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">TNF-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014 Aug</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">148</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">191-8</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The expression of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL(TNFSF10)) and of its receptors (TRAILR1, TRAILR2, TRAILR3, and TRAILR4) have been documented in testis, but the presence of soluble TRAIL in seminal fluid, as well as the potential physiopathological role of the TRAIL/TRAILR system in spermatozoa, has not been previously investigated. Male donors (n=123) among couples presenting for infertility evaluation were consecutively enrolled in this study. The presence of soluble TRAIL was analyzed in seminal samples by ELISA, while the surface expression of TRAIL receptors was investigated by flow cytometry. High levels of soluble TRAIL were detected in seminal plasma (median, 11 621 pg/ml and mean±s.d., 13 371±8367 pg/ml) and flow cytometric analysis revealed a variable expression of TRAIL receptors in the sperm cellular fraction among different subjects. In addition, the effect of physiologically relevant concentrations of recombinant TRAIL was investigated on survival and motility of spermatozoa. Of interest, the in vitro exposure of capacitated spermatozoa to recombinant TRAIL (10 ng/ml) significantly preserved their overall survival. Therefore, the present study demonstrates for the first time the presence of elevated levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine TRAIL in seminal fluids. Moreover, the demonstration that recombinant TRAIL promotes spermatozoa survival after capacitation suggests potential therapeutic implications.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24825910?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savoia, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kunishima, Shinji</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Rocco, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zieger, Barbara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rand, Margaret L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pujol-Moix, Núria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caliskan, Umran</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tokgoz, Huseyin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecci, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Noris, Patrizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Srivastava, Alok</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ward, Christopher</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morel-Kopp, Marie-Christine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alessi, Marie-Christine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bellucci, Sylvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beurrier, Philippe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Maistre, Emmanuel</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Favier, Rémi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hézard, Nathalie</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hurtaud-Roux, Marie-Françoise</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Latger-Cannard, Véronique</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lavenu-Bombled, Cécile</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Proulle, Valérie</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meunier, Sandrine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Négrier, Claude</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nurden, Alan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Randrianaivo, Hanitra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabris, Fabrizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Platokouki, Helen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rosenberg, Nurit</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">HadjKacem, Basma</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heller, Paula G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Karimi, Mehran</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Balduini, Carlo L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pastore, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lanza, Francois</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spectrum of the mutations in Bernard-Soulier syndrome.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum Mutat</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum.

Most of the mutations identified in the genes encoding for the GP1BA (GPIbα), GP1BB (GPIbβ), and GP9 (GPIX) subunits prevent expression of the complex at the platelet membrane or more rarely its interaction with VWF. As a consequence, platelets are unable to adhere to the vascular subendothelium and agglutinate in response to ristocetin. In order to collect information on BSS patients, we established an International Consortium for the study of BSS, allowing us to enrol and genotype 132 families (56 previously unreported). With 79 additional families for which molecular data were gleaned from the literature, the 211 families characterized so far have mutations in the GP1BA (28%), GP1BB (28%), or GP9 (44%) genes. There is a wide spectrum of mutations with 112 different variants, including 22 novel alterations. Consistent with the rarity of the disease, 85% of the probands carry homozygous mutations with evidence of founder effects in some geographical areas. This overview provides the first global picture of the molecular basis of BSS and will lead to improve patient diagnosis and management.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24934643?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Franca, Raffaella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rebora, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Athanasakis, Emmanouil</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Favretto, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Verzegnassi, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Basso, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valsecchi, Maria Grazia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decorti, Giuliana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rabusin, Marco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">TNF-α SNP rs1800629 and risk of relapse in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia: relation to immunophenotype.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pharmacogenomics</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pharmacogenomics</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antineoplastic Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Drug Resistance, Neoplasm</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genotype</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phenotype</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Precursor Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia-Lymphoma</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Precursor T-Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia-Lymphoma</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Recurrence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk Assessment</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Steroids</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014 Apr</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">619-27</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AIM: &lt;/b&gt;In the AIEOP-BFM ALL (Associazione Italiana Ematologia Oncologia Pediatrica-Berlin Frankfurt Münster acute lymphoblastic leukemia) 2000 protocol, 70% of relapsed patients had favorable prognostic features and fell within less intensive polychemotherapeutic regimens, suggesting the need for better assessing lower risk stratification.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MATERIALS &amp; METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A novel two-phase study design selected 614 children to be genotyped for TNF-α SNP rs1800629 (-308G&gt;A). A weighted Cox model was applied to evaluate the SNP effect on hazard of relapse, adjusting for immunophenotype, risk group, age and gender and including interaction terms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Significant interaction was found with immunophenotypes (p = 0.0007, with minor allele genotypes being adverse genetic markers in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia and protective ones in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia), and also with risk protocols (p = 0.0041, with minor allele genotypes as prognostic factor of relapse for standard risk patients [only one T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in the subgroup analyzed]).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;The presence of at least one A allele in TNF-α SNP rs1800629

WBC count is also a complex trait that varies among individuals and ancestry groups. Differences in linkage disequilibrium structure and heterogeneity in allelic effects are expected to play a role in the associations observed between populations. Prior genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analyses have identified genomic loci associated with WBC and its subtypes, but much of the heritability of these phenotypes remains unexplained. Using GWAS summary statistics for over 50 000 individuals from three diverse populations (Japanese, African-American and European ancestry), a Bayesian model methodology was employed to account for heterogeneity between ancestry groups. This approach was used to perform a trans-ethnic meta-analysis of total WBC, neutrophil and monocyte counts. Ten previously known associations were replicated and six new loci were identified, including several regions harboring genes related to inflammation and immune cell function. Ninety-five percent credible interval regions were calculated to narrow the association signals and fine-map the putatively causal variants within loci. Finally, a conditional analysis was performed on the most significant SNPs identified by the trans-ethnic meta-analysis (MA), and nine secondary signals within loci previously associated with WBC or its subtypes were identified. This work illustrates the potential of trans-ethnic analysis and ascribes a critical role to multi-ethnic cohorts and consortia in exploring complex phenotypes with respect to variants that lie outside the European-biased GWAS pool.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">25</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25096241?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Davanzo, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cannioto, Zemira</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Demarini, Sergio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Breastfeeding and neonatal weight loss in healthy term infants.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Hum Lact</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Hum Lact</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Apgar Score</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Breast Feeding</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Delivery, Obstetric</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gestational Age</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant, Newborn</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Length of Stay</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patient Readmission</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retrospective Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seasons</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Weight Loss</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013 Feb</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">29</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">45-53</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Neonatal weight loss is universally recognized, yet poorly understood. Limited professional consensus exists on the definition of lower limit of safe weight loss.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;Our aim was to assess the extent of neonatal weight loss and its association with selected clinical variables in a population of healthy term infants cared for using a specific protocol on weight loss.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We retrospectively considered 1003 infants consecutively admitted to the regular nursery of the Institute for Maternal and Child Health &quot;Burlo Garofolo&quot; (Trieste, Italy). We studied the relationship of selected variables with neonatal weight loss recorded during the hospital stay. We also analyzed all readmissions in the first month of life as a result of weight loss and its complications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;We observed a mean absolute weight loss of 228 g ± 83g, and a mean percent weight loss of 6.7% ± 2.2%. Weight loss ≥ 10% and &gt; 12% were 6% and 0.3%, respectively. In multivariate logistic regression, cesarean section, hot season, any formula feeding, and jaundice not requiring phototherapy were independently associated with neonatal weight loss ≥ 8%. Conversely, low gestational age status was associated with lower weight loss. Readmission within the first month of life because of dehydration occurred in 0.3% of infants.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Breastfeeding, compared to formula feeding, may not be a risk factor for greater early neonatal weight loss, at least in contexts in which weight is routinely monitored, breastfeeding is repeatedly assessed and appropriately supported, and careful supplementation is prescribed to limit and promptly treat excess weight loss and its related complications.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22554678?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Davanzo, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brovedani, Pierpaolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Demarini, Sergio</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Breastfeeding in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Study Group</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Breastfeeding at NICU discharge: a multicenter Italian study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Hum Lact</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Hum Lact</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Breast Feeding</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant, Low Birth Weight</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant, Newborn</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant, Premature</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Intensive Care Units, Neonatal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Logistic Models</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Multivariate Analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patient Discharge</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013 Aug</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">29</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">374-80</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Human milk is the optimal form of nutrition for infants, especially sick or compromised infants, yet international data suggest that breastfeeding (feeding at the breast) and the use of expressed human milk (mother's and donor's milk) are limited in patients cared for in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;The goal of this study was to examine feeding status at hospital discharge among high risk infants.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We used the 1991 World Health Organization infant feeding definitions, applied to the 72 hour period preceding discharge from the NICU. The study sample consisted of all high risk infants discharged from July 1, 2005, to June 30, 2006 from 13 Italian NICUs. Data on infant feeding in the last 72 hours were collected at discharge from the medical records.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;We recorded data from 2948 subjects with a median gestational age of 35 weeks (IQR, 32-38), a median birth weight of 2200 g (IQR, 1630-2920) and a median length of stay of 16 days (IQR, 8-33). At discharge, 28% of all infants were fed exclusively with human milk: 31%, 25%, 22% and 33% respectively in the &lt;1500 g, 1500-2000 g, 2000-2499 g and ≥ 2500 g birth weight categories. The proportion of infants not fed with human milk varied from 6 to 82% across different centers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Our study found limited breastfeeding and use of human milk among the NICU infants at discharge. At discharge, infants with a birth weight 1500-2499 g were fed exclusively with human milk less than those in higher or lower birth weight categories.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22821726?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schreiber, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chiaffoni, G P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Matarazzo, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minute, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Panontin, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poropat, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Germani, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, E</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Does EMLA cream application interfere with the success of venipuncture or venous cannulation?

The most widely used topical anesthetic is eutectic mixture of local anesthetics (EMLA). EMLA use is associated with a transient cutaneous vasoconstriction which can make it difficult to identify veins. We assessed with a prospective, multicenter, observational study whether EMLA interferes with venipuncture and intravenous cannulation. The primary study outcome was a success at first attempt in the course of venipuncture or venous cannulation. The study enrolled 388 children; 255 of them received EMLA and 133 did not. Eighty-six percent of procedures were successful at the first attempt in the EMLA group and 76.7 % in the no EMLA group.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;In this study, EMLA use did not interfere with the success of venipuncture or venous cannulation in children.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style

By combining data from &gt;140,000 individuals of European ancestry within the Global Urate Genetics Consortium (GUGC), we identified and replicated 28 genome-wide significant loci in association with serum urate concentrations (18 new regions in or near TRIM46, INHBB, SFMBT1, TMEM171, VEGFA, BAZ1B, PRKAG2, STC1, HNF4G, A1CF, ATXN2, UBE2Q2, IGF1R, NFAT5, MAF, HLF, ACVR1B-ACVRL1 and B3GNT4). Associations for many of the loci were of similar magnitude in individuals of non-European ancestry. We further characterized these loci for associations with gout, transcript expression and the fractional excretion of urate. Network analyses implicate the inhibins-activins signaling pathways and glucose metabolism in systemic urate control. New candidate genes for serum urate concentration highlight the importance of metabolic control of urate production and excretion, which may have implications for the treatment and prevention of gout.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23263486?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Davanzo, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zauli, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vecchi Brumatti, Liza</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Abate, Maria Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rimondi, Erika</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Secchiero, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Demarini, Sergio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Human colostrum and breast milk contain high levels of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL).</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Hum Lact</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Hum Lact</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Apgar Score</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Colostrum</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gestational Age</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant Formula</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant, Newborn</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milk, Human</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">TNF-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013 Feb</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">29</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23-5</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a pleiotropic cytokine, which plays a key role in the immune system as well as in controlling the balance of apoptosis and proliferation in various organs and tissues.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;To investigate the presence and levels of soluble TRAIL in human colostrum and milk.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;The levels of soluble human TRAIL were measured in human colostrum (day 2 after delivery) and breast milk (day 5 after delivery).

Recommendations for standard of care have been produced in the United States, the United Kingdom and France, where this disease is relatively frequent because of earlier immigration from Africa. These recommendations have changed the clinical course of SCD but can be difficult to apply in other contexts. The Italian Association of Pediatric Hematology Oncology (AIEOP) decided to develop a common national response to the rising number of SCD patients in Italy with the following objectives: 1) to create a national working group focused on pediatric SCD, and 2) to develop tailored guidelines for the management of SCD that could be accessed and practiced by those involved in the care of children with SCD in Italy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Guidelines, adapted to the Italian social context and health system, were developed by 22 pediatric hematologists representing 54 AIEOP centers across Italy. The group met five times for a total of 128 hours in 22 months; documents and opinions were circulated via web.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Recommendations regarding the prevention and treatment of the most relevant complications of SCD in childhood adapted to the Italian context and health system were produced.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Creating a network of physicians involved in the day-to-day care of children with SCD is feasible in a country where it remains rare. Providing hematologists, primary and secondary care physicians, and caregivers across the country with web-based guidelines for the management of SCD tailored to the Italian context is the first step in building a sustainable response to a rare but emerging childhood blood disorder and in implementing the World Health Organization's suggestion &quot;to design (and) implement … comprehensive national integrated programs for the prevention and management of SCD&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24139596?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radillo, Oriano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Norcio, Alessia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Addobbati, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zauli, Giorgio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Presence of CTAK/CCL27, MCP-3/CCL7 and LIF in human colostrum and breast milk.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cytokine</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cytokine</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chemokine CCL27</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chemokine CCL7</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chemokines</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Colostrum</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cytokines</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant, Newborn</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leukemia Inhibitory Factor</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milk, Human</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013 Jan</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">61</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">26-8</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Human colostrum and breast milk are known to contain high levels of cytokines and chemokines, which are thought to contribute to the development of the newborn. The aim of this study was to investigate the difference in the presence and levels of 21 soluble cytokines and chemokines in paired samples of human colostrum (day 2 after delivery) and breast milk (day 4-5 after delivery) by using the multiplex technology. Of the 21 cytokine investigated in 10 pairs of samples, only β-NGF was absent in both colostrum and milk, while INF-α2, SCF and TNF-β were present in colostrum but not in human milk. As a general rule, colostrum contained higher concentrations of cytokines and chemokines with respect to breast milk. The majority of cytokines, detected in colostrum alone or in colostrum and human milk (IL-1α, IL-2Rα, IL-3, IL-16, IL-18, GRO-α, HGF, IFN-α2, M-CSF, MIF, MIG, TNF-β, SDF-1α, TRAIL) have been described in previous studies, while for the first time we describe the presence of additional cytokines either in colostrum alone (SCF) or in both colostrum and breast milk (CTAK/CCL27, MCP-3/CCL7, LIF). Our data confirm and expand previous studies showing that some cytokines/chemokines, which might contribute to the development of the gastro-intestinal and nervous systems, are overexpressed in human colostrum and breast milk, and might contribute to the development of these systems.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23040056?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rabach, Ingrid</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poli, Furio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zennaro, Floriana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Germani, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Is treatment with hydroxychloroquine effective in surfactant protein C deficiency?</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch Bronconeumol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch.

Two years after the treatment was withdrawn, the twins were evaluated once again: they presented no new infections, growth and general state were normal and chest CT showed a notable additional reduction in the interstitial pneumopathy. These data seem to cast some doubt on the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine, and they suggest that the clinical improvement was simply the natural evolution of the disease.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23137777?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giersiepen, Klaus</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lelgemann, Monika</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stuhldreher, Nina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Husby, Steffen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Koletzko, Sibylle</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Korponay-Szabó, Ilma R</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ESPGHAN Working Group on Coeliac Disease Diagnosis</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Accuracy of diagnostic antibody tests for coeliac disease in children: summary of an evidence report.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

For inclusion, histological analysis of duodenal biopsies and sensitivity and specificity for index tests had to be reported. Data were pooled and summary measures calculated for sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative likelihood ratios (&quot;LR+&quot;, &quot;LR-&quot;), and diagnostic odds ratios (DOR). In case of elevated statistical heterogeneity, studies reaching 90% sensitivity or specificity were reported.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;A total of 2510 articles were reviewed; 16 entered meta-analysis, reporting on 3110 patients (1876 with CD, 1234 without CD). For IgA-EmA, sensitivity was ≥90% in 7/11 studies and pooled specificity 98.2%. For IgA-anti-TG2, 11/15 studies yielded sensitivities ≥90% and 13/15 specificities ≥90%. For IgA-DGP, sensitivity ranged between 80.7% and 95.1% (specificity 86.3%-93.1%); for IgG-DGP between 80.1% and 98.6% (specificity 86.0-96.9%). IgA-EmA had the highest pooled DOR (554) and LR+ (31.8) for a laboratory test, followed by IgA-anti-TG2, IgG-DGP, IgA-DGP and IgA-AGA. POC tests showed a pooled sensitivity of 96.4% for IgA-TG2 (specificity 97.7%).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;IgA-EmA and IgA-anti-TG2 tests appear highly accurate to diagnose CD. IgG-anti-DGP tests may help in excluding CD. IgA-AGA and IgA-DGP tests show inferior accuracy. POC tests may achieve high accuracy in the hands of experienced readers, but IgA-anti-TG2/EmA were superior.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22266486?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Secchiero, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rimondi, Erika</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">di Iasio, Maria Grazia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Voltan, Rebecca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gonelli, Arianna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zauli, Giorgio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Activation of the p53 pathway induces α-smooth muscle actin expression in both myeloid leukemic cells and normal macrophages.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Cell Physiol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Although α-SMA is often expressed in stromal cells associated to a variety of cancers including hematological malignancies, up to now the role of anti-cancer drugs on α-SMA has not been deeply investigated. In this study, we demonstrated that Nutlin-3, the small molecule inhibitor of the MDM2/p53 interactions, significantly up-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of α-SMA in normal macrophages as well as in p53(wild-type) but not in p53(mutated/null) myeloid leukemic cells. The p53-dependence of α-SMA up-regulation induced by Nutlin-3 was demonstrated in experiments performed with siRNA for p53. Of note, Nutlin-3 mediated up-regulation of α-SMA in OCI leukemic cells was accompanied by cell adhesion to plastic substrate and by reduced cell migratory response in transwell assays. Notably, the role of α-SMA induction in the modulation of myeloid cell migration was clearly documented in α-SMA gene knockdown experiments. In addition, Nutlin-3 significantly up-regulated α-SMA expression in primary endothelial cells, but not in fibroblasts and mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). Conversely, transforming growth factor-β1 up-regulated α-SMA in fibroblasts and MSC, but not in macrophages and endothelial cells. Taken together, these data indicate that Nutlin-3 is a potent inducer of α-SMA in both normal and leukemic myeloid cells as well as in endothelial cells.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21732354?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Longo, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berti, I</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Matarazzo, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rubert, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Saccari, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lenisa, I</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radillo, O</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, A</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adverse effects during specific oral tolerance induction: in home phase.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Allergol Immunopathol (Madr)</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Allergol Immunopathol (Madr)</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Age Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Allergens</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Desensitization, Immunologic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epinephrine</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Food Hypersensitivity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Immune Tolerance</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Immunoglobulin E</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milk Hypersensitivity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nebulizers and Vaporizers</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012 Jan-Feb</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">40</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">41-50</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Specific oral tolerance induction (SOTI) is a promising approach for severe food allergies.

Adverse reactions were treated following the International Guidelines, arbitrarily modified by introducing nebulised epinephrine for respiratory reactions, oral beclomethasone for acute gastric pain and oral cromolyn for recurrent gastric pain.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Out of 140 patients, 132 were contacted; eight were inaccessible (follow-up 2-84 months). The number of adverse reactions was 1 in every 100 doses. The reactions were treated with nebulised epinephrine (221 reactions), IM epinephrine (6 reactions), and other drugs. Patients with high specific IgE levels (greater than 100 kU(A)/L) and lower CM dose (less than 5 ml) at the end of in-hospital phase showed a higher risk both for number of reactions and use of nebulised epinephrine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The home phase of SOTI was characterised by a significant number of adverse reactions, mostly managed with an acceptable rate of side effects.

Nevertheless, SOTI is still considered an experimental method and should be limited to highly controlled settings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AIMS: &lt;/b&gt;To define the incidence and severity of adverse reactions, possible risk factors, and the safety and effectiveness of nebulized epinephrine as a first-line treatment of respiratory reactions during in-hospital SOTI for cow's milk allergy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MATERIALS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A retrospective study was conducted by reviewing the medical records of patients admitted for SOTI beginning in 2001. Reactions were classified as mild, moderate and severe on a partially modified Clark scale. Adverse reactions were treated following the International Guidelines with the introduction of nebulized epinephrine for level four reactions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Of 209 patients, 17 were excluded due to the absence of objective reactions. The remaining 192 were classified as follows: Mild Reactions (Clark Scale 1 to 3): 100 patients received either no treatment, oral antihistamines or nebulized steroids; Moderate Reactions (Clark Scale 4): 87 patients treated with nebulized epinephrine and, depending on their symptoms, oral antihistamines, corticosteroids (nebulized, oral or IV) or nebulized beta 2 agonists; Severe Reactions (Clark Scale 5): 5 children, 4 of whom initially underwent one nebulization of epinephrine and eventually required an IM dose. The fifth patient was immediately treated with IM epinephrine due to hypotension.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DISCUSSION: &lt;/b&gt;adverse reactions during this in-hospital SOTI protocol were frequent but easily manageable.

We report the experience of the Italian Association of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology (AIEOP) with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in children with Ph+ ALL from 1990 to 2008. Sixty-nine patients received HSCT from either a related (37, 54%) or an unrelated (32, 46%) donor. Twenty-five patients (36%) underwent transplantation before 2000 and 44 (64%) after 2000. Twenty-three patients (33%) received Imatinib mesylate treatment before HSCT and seven (10%) after HSCT. After a median follow-up of 56 months, the overall survival (OS) probability was 51% (95% confidence interval [CI], 38-63), the leukemia-free survival (LFS) was 47% (95% CI, 34-59), transplantation-related mortality (TRM) was 17% (95% CI, 10-30), and relapse incidence (RI) was 36% (95% CI, 26-50). Transplantation in first complete remission, female gender, and lower WBC count at diagnosis were associated with a better LFS in both univariate and multivariate analyses. Patients with p210 transcript had a trend for a worse prognosis compared with those who had the p190 transcript. Our series confirms the role of HSCT in the eradication of Ph+ ALL. Early HSCT is recommended once morphologic remission is obtained.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal"

syndrome characterized by congenital thrombocytopenia associated with the risk of developing progressive nephropathy, sensorineural deafness, and presenile cataract. During the collection of a large case-series of patients with MYH9-RD we noticed several cases with unexplained elevation of liver enzymes. Our aim was to evaluate if the alteration of liver tests is a feature of the MYH9-RD and to define its clinical significance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS AND FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;Data concerning liver tests, prospectively recorded in the Italian Registry for MYH9-RD, were collected and compared with those of three control populations: patients with autoimmune thrombocytopenia, patients with inherited thrombocytopenias other than MYH9-RD, and the participants to a large epidemiologic survey in an Italian geographic isolate. Thirty-eight of 75 evaluable MYH9-RD patients (50.7%) showed an elevation of ALT and/or AST, and 17 of 63 (27.0%) an increase of GGT. The increases ranged from 1.9 ± 0.7 to 2.7 ± 1.6 fold the upper normal limit. The prevalence of liver test alterations was significantly higher in MYH9-RD patients than in each of the control populations, with odds ratios ranging from 8.2 (95% CIs 2.2-44.8) to 24.7 (14.8-40.8). Clinical follow-up and more detailed liver studies of a subset of patients, including ultrasound liver scan, liver elastography and liver biopsy in one case, did not show any significant structural damage or evolution towards liver insufficiency.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Elevation of liver enzymes is a frequent and previously unrecognized feature of the MYH9-RD syndrome; however, this defect does not appear to have poor prognostic value.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22558294?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bosco, Raffaella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rabusin, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Voltan, Rebecca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celeghini, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corallini, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Capitani, Silvano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Secchiero, Paola</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anti-leukemic activity of dasatinib in both p53(wild-type) and p53(mutated) B malignant cells.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Invest New Drugs</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Invest New Drugs</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antineoplastic Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Apoptosis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">B-Lymphocytes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Line, Tumor</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Survival</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">G1 Phase Cell Cycle Checkpoints</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Granulocyte Precursor Cells</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leukemia, Prolymphocytic, B-Cell</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase 1</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase 3</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mutation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phosphorylation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Protein Kinase Inhibitors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pyrimidines</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">STAT3 Transcription Factor</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thiazoles</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Time Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tumor Suppressor Protein p53</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012 Feb</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">30</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">417-22</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The multi-kinase inhibitor dasatinib induced a variable but significant decrease of viability in both p53(wild-type) (EHEB, JVM-2, JVM-3) and p53(mutated) (MEC-1, MEC-2, BJAB) prolymphocytic B leukemic cells, due to a combination of cell cycle block in G1 and apoptosis.

Together with asbestos, the polyomavirus SV40 was hypothesized to contribute to the onset of malignant mesothelioma. To investigate the putative role of SV40 in the individual susceptibility to asbestos-induced malignant mesothelioma, we conducted a molecular epidemiological study on a series of malignant mesothelioma patients from an area in north-eastern Italy hyperendemic for malignant pleural mesothelioma.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;We collected 63 mesothelioma samples from incidence cases of patients diagnosed with malignant pleural mesothelioma in the period 2009-2010. DNA was extracted from patients' tissue biopsies using the BioRobot EZ1 Qiagen workstation. SV40 sequence detection and quantification was performed by specific real time PCR. The 74.6% of the 63 enrolled patients had a history of asbestos exposure. The epithelioid histotype was more prevalent in males (64.0%) and the mixed in females (61.5%) who showed significantly higher cancer co-morbidity (46.1% vs 12%, P = 0.005). SV40 was detected in 22% of MM tumors, with a low viral load. In SV40-positive patients, a threefold increased risk of asbestos exposure was observed, more evident in females (OR 4.32) than in males (OR 1.20).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our findings indicate that a high prevalence of SV40 was present in malignant mesothelioma incident cases from an area hyperendemic for malignant mesothelioma in north-eastern Italy. Although asbestos is considered the main risk factor in malignant mesothelioma onset, a role for SV40 could be hypothesized.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22677986?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comar, Manola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanotta, Nunzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Croci, Eleonora</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Murru, Immacolata</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marci, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pancaldi, Cecilia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dolcet, Ornella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Luppi, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martinelli, Monica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giolo, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tognon, Mauro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Association between the JC polyomavirus infection and male infertility.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PLoS One</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PLoS ONE</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amino Acid Sequence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amino Acid Substitution</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Base Sequence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BK Virus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Capsid Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA, Viral</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infertility, Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JC Virus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molecular Sequence Data</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polyomavirus Infections</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Semen</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sequence Analysis, DNA</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tumor Virus Infections</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e42880</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;In recent years the incidence of male infertility has increased. Many risk factors have been taken into consideration, including viral infections. Investigations into viral agents and male infertility have mainly been focused on human papillomaviruses, while no reports have been published on polyomaviruses and male infertility. The aim of this study was to verify whether JC virus and BK virus are associated with male infertility. Matched semen and urine samples from 106 infertile males and 100 fertile males, as controls, were analyzed. Specific PCR analyses were carried out to detect and quantify large T (Tag) coding sequences of JCV and BKV. DNA sequencing, carried out in Tag JCV-positive samples, was addressed to viral protein 1 (VP1) coding sequences. The prevalence of JCV Tag sequences in semen and urine samples from infertile males was 34% (72/212), whereas the BKV prevalence was 0.94% (2/212). Specifically, JCV Tag sequences were detected in 24.5% (26/106) of semen and 43.4% (46/106) of urine samples from infertile men. In semen and urine samples from controls the prevalence was 11% and 28%, respectively. A statistically significant difference (p&lt;0.05) in JCV prevalence was disclosed in semen and urine samples of cases vs. controls. A higher JC viral DNA load was detected in samples from infertile males than in controls. In samples from infertile males the JC virus type 2 strain, subtype 2b, was more prevalent than ubiquitous type 1. JCV type 2 strain infection has been found to be associated with male infertility. These data suggest that the JC virus should be taken into consideration as an infectious agent which is responsible for male infertility.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22912758?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Filho, C B</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rodrigues, F F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fonseca, A M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Araujo, J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arahata, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pontes, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vilar, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Lima Filho, J L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, S</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Association of MBL2 gene exon 1 variants with autoimmune thyroid disease in Brazilian patients.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Immunogenet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int.

Its complications and sequelae are important causes of preventable hearing loss, particularly in developing countries. Within the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study, for the year 2005 we estimated the incidence of acute OM, chronic suppurative OM, and related hearing loss and mortality for all ages and the 21 WHO regional areas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We identified risk factors, complications and sequelae of OM. We carried out an extensive literature review (Medline, Embase, Lilacs and Wholis) which lead to the selection of 114 papers comprising relevant data. Data were available from 15 of the 21 WHO regions. To estimate incidence and prevalence for all countries we adopted a two stage approach based on risk factors formulas and regression modelling.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Acute OM incidence rate is 10.85% i.e. 709 million cases each year with 51% of these occurring in under-fives. Chronic suppurative OM incidence rate is 4.76 ‰ i.e. 31 million cases, with 22.6% of cases occurring annually in under-fives. OM-related hearing impairment has a prevalence of 30.82 per ten-thousand. Each year 21 thousand people die due to complications of OM.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our study is the first attempt to systematically review the available information and provide global estimates for OM and related conditions. The overall burden deriving from AOM, CSOM and their sequelae is considerable, particularly in the first five years of life and in the poorest countries. The findings call for incorporating OM-focused action within preventive and case management strategies, with emphasis on the more affected.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal"

&lt;/b&gt;Bernard-Soulier syndrome is a very rare form of inherited thrombocytopenia that derives from mutations in GPIbα, GPIbβ, or GPIX and is typically inherited as a recessive disease. However, some years ago it was shown that the monoallelic c.515C&gt;T transition in the GPIBA gene (Bolzano mutation) was responsible for macrothrombocytopenia in a few Italian patients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Over the past 10 years, we have searched for the Bolzano mutation in all subjects referred to our institutions because of an autosomal, dominant form of thrombocytopenia of unknown origin.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;We identified 42 new Italian families (103 cases) with a thrombocytopenia induced by monoallelic Bolzano mutation. Analyses of the geographic origin of affected pedigrees and haplotypes indicated that this mutation originated in southern Italy. Although the clinical expression was variable, patients with this mutation typically had a mild form of Bernard-Soulier syndrome with mild thrombocytopenia and bleeding tendency. The most indicative laboratory findings were enlarged platelets and reduced GPIb/IX/V platelet expression; in vitro platelet aggregation was normal in nearly all of the cases.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our study indicates that monoallelic Bolzano mutation is the most frequent cause of inherited thrombocytopenia in Italy, affecting 20% of patients recruited at our institutions during the last 10 years. Because many people from southern Italy have emigrated during the last century, this mutation may have spread to other countries.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21933849?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ribes-Koninckx, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mearin, M L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Korponay-Szabó, I R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shamir, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Husby, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Branski, D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Catassi, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Koletzko, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mäki, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Troncone, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zimmer, K P</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ESPGHAN Working Group on Coeliac Disease Diagnosis</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coeliac disease diagnosis: ESPGHAN 1990 criteria or need for a change?

In parallel, we have performed a survey aimed to evaluate present practices for CD among paediatric gastroenterologists and to learn their views on the need for modification of present criteria for CD diagnosis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PATIENTS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Questionnaires were distributed to experienced paediatric gastroenterologists (ESPGHAN members) via the Internet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Overall, 95 valid questionnaires were available for analysis, pertaining to 28 different countries, with the majority of responders treating patients with CD for &gt;15 years. Only about 12% of the responders comply with present criteria, noncompliance being related mainly to the challenge policy. Approximately 90% request a revision and modification of the present criteria. Forty-four percent want to omit the small bowel biopsy in symptomatic children with positive anti-tissue transglutaminase immunoglobulin (Ig) A or endomysial IgA antibodies, especially if they are DQ2/DQ8 positive. For silent cases detected by screening with convincingly positive anti-tissue transglutaminase IgA or EMA IgA, about 30% consider that no small bowel biopsy should be required in selected cases. Adding human leukocyte antigen typing in the diagnostic workup was asked for by 42% of the responders. As for gluten challenge, a new policy is advocated restricting its obligation to cases whenever the diagnosis is doubtful or unclear.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Based on these opinions, revision of the ESPGHAN criteria for diagnosing CD is urgently needed.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21716133?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rocca, Maria Santa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabretto, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faletra, Flavio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carlet, Ombretta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Skabar, Aldo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecile, Vanna</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Contribution of SNP arrays in diagnosis of deletion 2p11.2-p12.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Abnormalities, Multiple</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chromosomes, Human, Pair 2</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Intellectual Disability</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oligonucleotide Array Sequence Analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sequence Deletion</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012 Jan 15</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">492</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">315-8</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Deletions of the short arm of chromosome 2 are exceedingly rare, having been reported in few patients.

Here, we describe a 9-year-old girl with a 9.4 Mb de novo interstitial deletion of region 2p11.2-p12 identified by SNP array analysis. The deleted region encompasses over 40 known genes, including LRRTM1, CTNNA2 and REEP1, haploinsufficiency of which could explain some clinical features of this patient such as mental retardation, speech delay and gait abnormalities. A comparison of our case with previously reported patients who present deletions in 2p11.2-p12 was carried out.

Phenotype-genotype relationships looking at the genes involved in this part of the chromosome were also carried out and data compared with those previously described.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22407795?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Perrone, M D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rocca, M S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bruno, I</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faletra, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecile, V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, P</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De novo 911 Kb interstitial deletion on chromosome 1q43 in a boy with mental retardation and short stature.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur J Med Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur J Med Genet</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chromosomes, Human, Pair 1</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dwarfism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Intellectual Disability</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sequence Deletion</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012 Feb</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">55</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">117-9</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Patients with distal deletions of chromosome 1q have a recognizable syndrome that includes microcephaly, hypoplasia or agenesis of the corpus callosum, and psychomotor retardation.

A positive challenge contraindicates the reintroduction of CM. Specific oral tolerance induction (SOTI) is a promising treatment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;All children admitted for a challenge were prospectively enrolled. To those tolerating between 2 and 150 ml a SOTI protocol was offered. Outcome, adverse reactions, parents' satisfaction were recorded.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Out of 245 challenged patients, 175 reacted 122 out of 125, able to tolerate a minimum dose of 2 ml, underwent SOTI. After one year 75.4% were in an unrestricted diet, 16.1% tolerated between 5 and 150 ml, 8.5% stopped SOTI. Side effects were mild, parents' satisfaction was very high.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The majority of children tolerating limited amounts of CM at the challenge acquires tolerance with SOTI without relevant side effects. Maintaining on an exclusion diet partially tolerant children should be considered debatable.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22768724?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Badina, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berti, Irene</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radillo, Oriano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Matarazzo, Lorenza</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Longo, Giorgio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The dietary paradox in food allergy: yesterday's mistakes, today's evidence and lessons for tomorrow.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr Pharm Des</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr.

Most reactions are IgE-mediated with a high risk of anaphylaxis requiring emergency medications in case of inadvertent ingestion. Recent studies showed that continuous administration of the offending food, rather than an elimination diet, could promote the development and maintenance of oral tolerance. Indeed, intestinal transit of food proteins and their interaction with gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) is the essential prerequisite for oral tolerance. On the contrary, low-dose cutaneous exposure to environmental foods in children with atopic dermatitis and altered skin barrier facilitates allergic sensitization. The timing and the amount of cutaneous and oral exposure determine whether a child will have allergy or tolerance. Furthermore, previous preventive strategies such as the elimination diet during pregnancy and breastfeeding, prolonged exclusive breastfeeding and delayed weaning to solid foods did not succeed in preventing the development of food allergy. On the other hand, there could be an early narrow window of immunological opportunity to expose children to allergenic foods and induce natural tolerance. Finally, the gradual exposure to the offending food through special protocols of specific oral tolerance induction (SOTI) may be a promising approach to a proactive treatment of food allergy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">35</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22726112?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faletra, Flavio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">d'Adamo, Adamo Pio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Santa Rocca, Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carrozzi, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Perrone, Maria Dolores</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecile, Vanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Does the 1.5 Mb microduplication in chromosome band Xp22.31 have a pathogenetic role?

&lt;/b&gt;The aims of this study were to analyze the relationship between the LATCH score assessed in the first 24 hours after delivery and non-exclusive breastfeeding at discharge and to identify a cutoff for the LATCH score in order to identify women with higher risk of non-exclusive breastfeeding who may need additional breastfeeding support.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SUBJECTS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We conducted a prospective observational study in the Maternity Ward of the Institute for Maternal and Child Health &quot;Burlo Garofolo&quot; (Trieste, Italy) and collected data from 299 mother-infant dyads.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The rate of nonexclusive breastfeeding was inversely related to the LATCH score (p&lt;0.001) with non-exclusive breastfeeding infants scoring less (6.9) than infants exclusively breastfed at discharge (7.6) (p=0.001). In multivariate analysis, non-exclusive breastfeeding was also associated with cesarean section, primiparity, and infant phototherapy. In order to support maternity staff in providing targeted interventions, we identified four LATCH score cutoffs associated with as many risk groups for non-exclusive breastfeeding at discharge.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The LATCH score is a useful tool to identify mother-infant pairs who might benefit from additional skilled support in specific subgroups at risk of non-exclusive breastfeeding at discharge. Future research is needed to explore if the LATCH score assessed in the first days of life can also predict the duration of breastfeeding.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22313393?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Seta, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Restaino, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Santo, Davide</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stabile, Guglielmo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Banco, Rubina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Busetti, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbati, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guaschino, Secondo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Effects of hormonal contraception on vaginal flora.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Contraception</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Contraception</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Administration, Intravaginal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bacterial Load</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Candida</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Candida albicans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Contraceptive Devices, Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Contraceptives, Oral, Combined</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hydrogen-Ion Concentration</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lactobacillus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leukocyte Count</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prospective Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Streptococcus agalactiae</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trichomonas vaginalis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vagina</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012 Nov</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">86</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">526-9</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;The sector of the market that deals with contraception offers a long list of different contraceptive methods. Within the estroprogestinic choice, the routes of administration are oral, transdermic and vaginal one. Even though efficacy is comparable with these methods, secondary and adverse effects are directly involved in the acceptability of the method.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;STUDY DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;This was a prospective comparative study. During 1 year, we enrolled 60 asymptomatic women who voluntarily requested combined oral contraception (COC) or combined contraceptive vaginal ring (CCVR group). After a baseline study of vaginal milieu prior to starting hormonal contraception, we performed a follow-up. For each woman, we examined vaginal pH; quantification of leukocytes, lactobacilli, Candida and cocci on saline microscopy fluid; Gram stain with Nugent score and the presence of vaginal infection [culture for Trichomonas vaginalis, albicans and nonalbicans Candida, Group B Streptococcus (GBS)].&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;At the end of follow-up, there was a little change of vaginal milieu in both groups. We noted an increase of lactobacilli in the CCVR users and an increase of GBS in COC users.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;CCVR compared to COC users showed an increase of the number of lactobacilli in vaginal flora.

Since then, the autoantigen in CD, tissue transglutaminase, has been identified; the perception of CD has changed from that of a rather uncommon enteropathy to a common multiorgan disease strongly dependent on the haplotypes human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8; and CD-specific antibody tests have improved.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A panel of 17 experts defined CD and developed new diagnostic criteria based on the Delphi process. Two groups of patients were defined with different diagnostic approaches to diagnose CD: children with symptoms suggestive of CD (group 1) and asymptomatic children at increased risk for CD (group 2). The 2004 National Institutes of Health/Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality report and a systematic literature search on antibody tests for CD in paediatric patients covering the years 2004 to 2009 was the basis for the evidence-based recommendations on CD-specific antibody testing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;In group 1, the diagnosis of CD is based on symptoms, positive serology, and histology that is consistent with CD. If immunoglobulin A anti-tissue transglutaminase type 2 antibody titers are high (&gt;10 times the upper limit of normal), then the option is to diagnose CD without duodenal biopsies by applying a strict protocol with further laboratory tests. In group 2, the diagnosis of CD is based on positive serology and histology. HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 testing is valuable because CD is unlikely if both haplotypes are negative.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The aim of the new guidelines was to achieve a high diagnostic accuracy and to reduce the burden for patients and their families. The performance of these guidelines in clinical practice should be evaluated prospectively.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default"

genetic factors. In recent years, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have successfully identified many common additive variants influencing human height; however, little attention has been given to the potential role of recessive genetic effects. Here, we investigated genome-wide recessive effects by an analysis of inbreeding depression on adult height in over 35,000 people from 21 different population samples. We found a highly significant inverse association between height and genome-wide homozygosity, equivalent to a height reduction of up to 3 cm in the offspring of first cousins compared with the offspring of unrelated individuals, an effect which remained after controlling for the effects of socio-economic status, an important confounder (χ(2) = 83.89, df = 1; p = 5.2 × 10(-20)). There was, however, a high degree of heterogeneity among populations: whereas the direction of the effect was consistent across most population samples, the effect size differed significantly among populations. It is likely that this reflects true biological heterogeneity: whether or not an effect can be observed will depend on both the variance in homozygosity in the population and the chance inheritance of individual recessive genotypes. These results predict that multiple, rare, recessive variants influence human height. Although this exploratory work focuses on height alone, the methodology developed is generally applicable to heritable quantitative traits (QT), paving the way for an investigation into inbreeding effects, and therefore genetic architecture, on a range of QT of biomedical importance.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22829771?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Lorenzo, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ceccarello, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cecotti, V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vecchi Brumatti, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montico, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Ottavio, G</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">First trimester maternal serum PIGF, free β-hCG, PAPP-A, PP-13, uterine artery Doppler and maternal history for the prediction of preeclampsia.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Placenta</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Placenta</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biological Markers</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chorionic Gonadotropin, beta Subunit, Human</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cohort Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Galectins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hypertension, Pregnancy-Induced</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pre-Eclampsia</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy Complications</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy Trimester, First</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy-Associated Plasma Protein-A</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prospective Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ultrasonography, Prenatal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Uterine Artery</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Uterus</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012 Jun</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">33</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">495-501</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;To evaluate the detection of pregnancy hypertensive disorders by integrating maternal history, serum biomarkers and uterine artery Doppler in the first trimester.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We prospectively recruited 2118 women that underwent an 11-13 weeks aneuploidy screening.

Sensitivity models only for statistically significant parameters were calculated from the ROC curves for fixed false-positive rates (FPR).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Among 2118 women, 46 (2.17%) developed GH and 25 (1.18%) were diagnosed with PE, including 12 (0.57%) early-onset PE and 13 (0.61%) late-onset PE. For a fixed FPR of 10 and 5%, serum PlGF, free β-hCG and chronic hypertension identified respectively 67 and 75% of women who developed early-onset PE. In the model for the prediction of overall PE the combination of the uterine artery Doppler pulsatility index (UtA PI) with PlGF and chronic hypertension reached a sensitivity of 60% for a 20% of FPR.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;An integration of maternal characteristics and first trimester maternal serum biomarkers (free β-hCG and PlGF) provided a possible screening for early-onset PE. In the overall PE model, UtA PI turned out to be statistically significant but did not improve the detection rate.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22459245?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pirastu, Nicola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robino, Antonietta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lanzara, Carmela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Athanasakis, Emmanouil</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Esposito, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tepper, Beverly J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetics of food preferences: a first view from silk road populations.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Food Sci</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

There are good reasons to suspect some genetic influence on food acceptance, not least because genetic factors are implicated in a number of factors that are likely to be related to food choice. In addition, some food dislikes show themselves early in life, before there is any evidence for aversive experiences. Although taste has been widely studied in regards of pure tastes such as bitter or sweet perception, the relationship between taste-related genes and food preferences has seldom been explored. In this work we investigated relationship of 37 taste-related genes with food preferences. The study was carried out during a scientific expedition through Caucasus and Central Asia (Silk Road) analyzing more than 400 samples from 5 different countries. A food preference questionnaire was administered to each participant and a DNA sample was obtained. Other information, such as age, sex, life style and anthropometrical measures, were also collected. We found significant associations with variants of: (1) TAS1R2 [Correction added after initial online publication on 27 Aug 2012. TAS1R3 was changed to TAS1R2.] gene and liking of Vodka (P= 1.6 × 10(-3)), white wine (P= 4.0 × 10(-4)) and lamb meat (P= 1.6 × 10(-3)); (2) PCLB2 gene and preference for Hot Tea (P= 8.0 × 10(-4)); (3) TPRV1 gene and beet liking (P= 3.8 × 10(-5)); and (4) ITPR3 gene and liking of both lamb meat (5.8 × 10(-4)) and sheep cheese (8.9×10(-4)). These findings give a new insight on a better understanding, of genetic factors influencing food preferences which is critical to the development of effective dietary interventions, especially for people that may be genetically not predisposed for liking specific nutrients.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></issue><custom1><style

disease (CKD) is an important public health problem with a genetic component. We performed genome-wide association studies in up to 130,600 European ancestry participants overall, and stratified for key CKD risk factors. We uncovered 6 new loci in association with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), the primary clinical measure of CKD, in or near MPPED2, DDX1, SLC47A1, CDK12, CASP9, and INO80. Morpholino knockdown of mpped2 and casp9 in zebrafish embryos revealed podocyte and tubular abnormalities with altered dextran clearance, suggesting a role for these genes in renal function. By providing new insights into genes that regulate renal function, these results could further our understanding of the pathogenesis of CKD.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal"

excellent survival rate of Wilms tumor (WT) patients, only approximately one-half of children who suffer tumor recurrence reach second durable remission. This underlines the need for novel markers to optimize initial treatment. We investigated 77 tumors using Illumina 370CNV-QUAD genotyping BeadChip arrays and compared their genomic profiles to detect copy number (CN) abnormalities and allelic ratio anomalies associated with the following clinicopathological variables: relapse (yes vs. no), age at diagnosis (≤ 24 months vs. &gt;24 months), and disease stage (low stage, I and II, vs. high stage, III and IV). We found that CN gains at chromosome region 1q21.1-q31.3 were significantly associated with relapse. Additional genetic events, including allelic imbalances at chromosome arms 1p, 1q, 3p, 3q, and 14q were also found to occur at higher frequency in relapsing tumors. Interestingly, allelic imbalances at 1p and 14q also showed a borderline association with higher tumor stages. No genetic events were found to be associated with age at diagnosis. This is the first genome wide analysis with single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays specifically investigating the role of genetic anomalies in predicting WT relapse on cases prospectively enrolled in the same clinical trial. Our study, besides confirming the role of 1q gains, identified a number of additional candidate genetic markers, warranting further molecular investigations.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22407497?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Snowden, J A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Saccardi, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Allez, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ardizzone, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arnold, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cervera, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Denton, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hawkey, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Labopin, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mancardi, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martin, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moore, J J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Passweg, J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peters, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rabusin, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rovira, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">van Laar, J M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Farge, D</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">EBMT Autoimmune Disease Working Party (ADWP)</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paediatric Diseases Working Party (PDWP)</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Haematopoietic SCT in severe autoimmune diseases: updated guidelines of the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bone Marrow Transplant</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bone Marrow Transplant.</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Autoimmune Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clinical Trials, Phase I as Topic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clinical Trials, Phase II as Topic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">European Union</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Safety</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Severity of Illness Index</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012 Jun</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">47</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">770-90</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;In 1997, the first consensus guidelines for haematopoietic SCT (HSCT) in autoimmune diseases (ADs) were published, while an international coordinated clinical programme was launched. These guidelines provided broad principles for the field over the following decade and were accompanied by comprehensive data collection in the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) AD Registry. Subsequently, retrospective analyses and prospective phase I/II studies generated evidence to support the feasibility, safety and efficacy of HSCT in several types of severe, treatment-resistant ADs, which became the basis for larger-scale phase II and III studies. In parallel, there has also been an era of immense progress in biological therapy in ADs. The aim of this document is to provide revised and updated guidelines for both the current application and future development of HSCT in ADs in relation to the benefits, risks and health economic considerations of other modern treatments. Patient safety considerations are central to guidance on patient selection and HSCT procedural aspects within appropriately experienced and Joint Accreditation Committee of International Society for Cellular Therapy and EBMT accredited centres. A need for prospective interventional and non-interventional studies, where feasible, along with systematic data reporting, in accordance with EBMT policies and procedures, is emphasized.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22002489?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mazzoni, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corallini, Alfredo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cristaudo, Alfonso</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taronna, Angelo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tassi, Gianfranco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Manfrini, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comar, Manola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bovenzi, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guaschino, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vaniglia, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Magnani, Corrado</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Casali, Ferruccio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rezza, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbanti-Brodano, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martini, Fernanda</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tognon, Mauro G</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">High prevalence of serum antibodies reacting with simian virus 40 capsid protein mimotopes in patients affected by malignant pleural mesothelioma.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Proc.

The mineral asbestos is considered the main causative agent of this neoplasm. MPM is largely unresponsive to conventional chemotherapy/radiotherapy. In addition to asbestos exposure, genetic predisposition to asbestos carcinogenesis and to simian virus (SV)40 infection has also been suggested. SV40 is a DNA tumor virus found in some studies to be associated at high prevalence with MPM. SV40 sequences have also been detected, although at a lower prevalence than in MPM, in blood specimens from healthy donors. However, some studies have failed to reveal SV40 footprints in MPM and its association with this neoplasm. These conflicting results indicate the need for further investigations with new approaches. We report on the presence of antibodies in serum samples from patients affected by MPM that specifically react with two different SV40 mimotopes. The two SV40 peptides used in indirect ELISAs correspond to viral capsid proteins. ELISA with the two SV40 mimotopes gave overlapping results. Our data indicate that in serum samples from MPM-affected patients (n = 97), the prevalence of antibodies against SV40 viral capsid protein antigens is significantly higher (26%, P = 0.043) than in the control group (15%) represented by healthy subjects (n = 168) with the same median age (66 y) and sex. Our results suggest that SV40 is associated with a subset of MPM and circulates in humans.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default"

To discover novel associations with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), a measure of kidney function, we developed a strategy for integrating prior biological knowledge into the existing GWAS data for eGFR from the CKDGen Consortium. Our strategy focuses on single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) in genes that are connected by functional evidence, determined by literature mining and gene ontology (GO) hierarchies, to genes near previously validated eGFR associations. It then requires association thresholds consistent with multiple testing, and finally evaluates novel candidates by independent replication. Among the samples of European ancestry, we identified a genome-wide significant SNP in FBXL20 (P = 5.6 × 10(-9)) in meta-analysis of all available data, and additional SNPs at the INHBC, LRP2, PLEKHA1, SLC3A2 and SLC7A6 genes meeting multiple-testing corrected significance for replication and overall P-values of 4.5 × 10(-4)-2.2 × 10(-7). Neither the novel PLEKHA1 nor FBXL20 associations, both further supported by association with eGFR among African Americans and with transcript abundance, would have been implicated by eGFR candidate gene approaches. LRP2, encoding the megalin receptor, was identified through connection with the previously known eGFR gene DAB2 and extends understanding of the megalin system in kidney function. These findings highlight integration of existing genome-wide association data with independent biological knowledge to uncover novel candidate eGFR associations, including candidates lacking known connections to kidney-specific pathways. The strategy may also be applicable to other clinical phenotypes, although more testing will be needed to assess its potential for discovery in general.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">24</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22962313?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marchetti, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bua, Jenny</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tornese, Gianluca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piras, Gianni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toffol, Giacomo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italian Study Group on Undescended Testes</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Management of cryptorchidism: a survey of clinical practice in Italy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC Pediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC Pediatr</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chorionic Gonadotropin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cryptorchidism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guideline Adherence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Orchiopexy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatrics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Physician's Practice Patterns</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Practice Guidelines as Topic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Questionnaires</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retrospective Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Treatment Outcome</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;An evidence-based Consensus on the treatment of undescended testis (UT) was recently published, recommending to perform orchidopexy between 6 and 12 months of age, or upon diagnosis and to avoid the use of hormones. In Italy, current practices on UT management are little known. Our aim was to describe the current management of UT in a cohort of Italian children in comparison with the Consensus guidelines. As management of retractile testis (RT) differs, RT cases were described separately.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Ours is a retrospective, multicenter descriptive study. An online questionnaire was filled in by 140 Italian Family Paediatricians (FP) from Associazione Culturale Pediatri (ACP), a national professional association of FP. The questionnaire requested information on all children with cryptorchidism born between 1/01/2004 and 1/01/2006. Data on 169 children were obtained. Analyses were descriptive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Overall 24% of children were diagnosed with RT, 76% with UT. Among the latter, cryptorchidism resolved spontaneously in 10% of cases at a mean age of 21.6 months. Overall 70% of UT cases underwent orchidopexy at a mean age of 22.8 months (SD 10.8, range 1.2-56.4), 13% of whom before 1 year. The intervention was performed by a paediatric surgeon in 90% of cases, with a success rate of 91%. Orchidopexy was the first line treatment in 82% of cases, while preceded by hormonal treatment in the remaining 18%. Hormonal treatment was used as first line therapy in 23% of UT cases with a reported success rate of 25%. Overall, 13 children did not undergo any intervention (mean age at last follow up 39.6 months). We analyzed the data from the 5 Italian Regions with the largest number of children enrolled and found a statistically significant regional difference in the use of hormonal therapy, and in the use of and age at orchidopexy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our study showed an important delay in orchidopexy. A quarter of children with cryptorchidism was treated with hormonal therapy. In line with the Consensus guidelines, surgery was carried out by a paediatric surgeon in the majority of cases, with a high success rate.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22233418?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agostinis, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bossi, Fleur</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Masat, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radillo, Oriano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tonon, Maddalena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Seta, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tedesco, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bulla, Roberta</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MBL interferes with endovascular trophoblast invasion in pre-eclampsia.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin Dev Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin.

Our recent data indicate that decidual endothelial cells (DECs), covering the inner side of the spiral arteries, acquire the ability to synthesize C1q, which acts as a link between endovascular trophoblast and DECs favouring the process of vascular remodelling. In this study, we have shown that sera obtained from pre-eclamptic patients strongly inhibit the interaction between extravillous trophoblast (EVT) and DECs, preventing endovascular invasion of trophoblast cells. We further demonstrated that mannose-binding lectin (MBL), one of the factor increased in pre-eclamptic patient sera, strongly inhibits the interaction of EVT with C1q interfering with the process of EVT adhesion to and migration through DECs. These data suggest that the increased level of MBL in pre-eclampsia may contribute to the failure of the endovascular invasion of trophoblast cells.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style

In addition to four known loci, we identified 13 loci newly associated with age at natural menopause (at P &lt; 5 × 10(-8)). Candidate genes located at these newly associated loci include genes implicated in DNA repair (EXO1, HELQ, UIMC1, FAM175A, FANCI, TLK1, POLG and PRIM1) and immune function (IL11, NLRP11 and PRRC2A (also known as BAT2)). Gene-set enrichment pathway analyses using the full GWAS data set identified exoDNase, NF-κB signaling and mitochondrial dysfunction as biological processes related to timing of menopause.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

Here, we report a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for kidney function-related traits, including 71,149 east Asian individuals from 18 studies in 11 population-, hospital- or family-based cohorts, conducted as part of the Asian Genetic Epidemiology Network (AGEN). Our meta-analysis identified 17 loci newly associated with kidney function-related traits, including the concentrations of blood urea nitrogen, uric acid and serum creatinine and estimated glomerular filtration rate based on serum creatinine levels (eGFRcrea) (P &lt; 5.0 × 10(-8)). We further examined these loci with in silico replication in individuals of European ancestry from the KidneyGen, CKDGen and GUGC consortia, including a combined total of ∼110,347 individuals. We identify pleiotropic associations among these loci with kidney function-related traits and risk of CKD. These findings provide new insights into the genetics of kidney function.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22797727?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Laganà, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paone, Alessio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Veneziano, Dario</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cascione, Luciano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Pierluigi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carasi, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Russo, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nigita, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Macca, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giugno, Rosalba</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pulvirenti, Alfredo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shasha, Dennis</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferro, Alfredo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Croce, Carlo M</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">miR-EdiTar: a database of predicted A-to-I edited miRNA target sites.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bioinformatics</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bioinformatics</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adenosine</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Binding Sites</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Databases, Genetic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene Expression Regulation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inosine</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Internet</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MicroRNAs</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nucleic Acid Conformation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RNA Editing</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012 Dec 1</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">28</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3166-8</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MOTIVATION: &lt;/b&gt;A-to-I RNA editing is an important mechanism that consists of the conversion of specific adenosines into inosines in RNA molecules. Its dysregulation has been associated to several human diseases including cancer. Recent work has demonstrated a role for A-to-I editing in microRNA (miRNA)-mediated gene expression regulation. In fact, edited forms of mature miRNAs can target sets of genes that differ from the targets of their unedited forms. The specific deamination of mRNAs can generate novel binding sites in addition to potentially altering existing ones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;This work presents miR-EdiTar, a database of predicted A-to-I edited miRNA binding sites. The database contains predicted miRNA binding sites that could be affected by A-to-I editing and sites that could become miRNA binding sites as a result of A-to-I editing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AVAILABILITY: &lt;/b&gt;miR-EdiTar is freely available online at http://microrna.osumc.edu/mireditar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONTACT: &lt;/b&gt;alessandro.lagana@osumc.edu or carlo.croce@osumc.edu&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: &lt;/b&gt;Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23044546?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Licastro, Danilo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mutarelli, Margherita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peluso, Ivana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neveling, Kornelia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wieskamp, Nienke</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rispoli, Rossella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vozzi, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Athanasakis, Emmanouil</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Eustacchio, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pizzo, Mariateresa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Amico, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ziviello, Carmela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Simonelli, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabretto, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scheffer, Hans</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Banfi, Sandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nigro, Vincenzo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molecular diagnosis of Usher syndrome: application of two different next generation sequencing-based procedures.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PLoS One</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PLoS ONE</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Exome</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genome, Human</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">High-Throughput Nucleotide Sequencing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molecular Diagnostic Techniques</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pilot Projects</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sequence Analysis, DNA</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Usher Syndromes</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e43799</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Usher syndrome (USH) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by visual and hearing impairments. Clinically, it is subdivided into three subclasses with nine genes identified so far. In the present study, we investigated whether the currently available Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies are already suitable for molecular diagnostics of USH. We analyzed a total of 12 patients, most of which were negative for previously described mutations in known USH genes upon primer extension-based microarray genotyping. We enriched the NGS template either by whole exome capture or by Long-PCR of the known USH genes. The main NGS sequencing platforms were used: SOLiD for whole exome sequencing, Illumina (Genome Analyzer II) and Roche 454 (GS FLX) for the Long-PCR sequencing. Long-PCR targeting was more efficient with up to 94% of USH gene regions displaying an overall coverage higher than 25×, whereas whole exome sequencing yielded a similar coverage for only 50% of those regions. Overall this integrated analysis led to the identification of 11 novel sequence variations in USH genes (2 homozygous and 9 heterozygous) out of 18 detected. However, at least two cases were not genetically solved. Our result highlights the current limitations in the diagnostic use of NGS for USH patients. The limit for whole exome sequencing is linked to the need of a strong coverage and to the correct interpretation of sequence variations with a non obvious, pathogenic role, whereas the targeted approach suffers from the high genetic heterogeneity of USH that may be also caused by the presence of additional causative genes yet to be identified.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style

SV40 infection was detected, as co-morbidity factor, only in 22% of asbestos-MM patients from a North-Eastern Italy area. An additional mechanism of injury related to asbestos exposure in MM development has been recently associated to inflammatory responses, principally driven by interleukin (IL)-1 beta (ß) activated within the inflammasome complex.NLRP3 inflammosome has been described as the intracellular sensor for asbestos able to induce inflammasome activation and IL-1ß secretion while NLRP1 is expressed in lung epithelial cells and alveolar macrophages and contributes to the immune response and to survival/apoptosis balance. This study proposes to evaluate the impact of known NLRP3 and NLRP1 polymorphisms in the individual susceptibility to asbestos-induced mesothelioma in subjects from a hyperendemic area for MM.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;134 Italian patients with diagnosis of mesothelioma due (MMAE, n=69) or not (MMAF, n=65) to asbestos, 256 healthy Italian blood donors and 101 Italian healthy subjects exposed to asbestos (HCAE) were genotyped for NLRP1 (rs2670660 and rs12150220) and NLRP3 (rs35829419 and rs10754558) polymorphisms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;While NLRP3 SNPs were not associated to mesothelioma, the NLRP1 rs12150220 allele T was significantly more frequent in MMAE (0.55) than in HCAE (0.41) (p=0.011; OR=1.79) suggesting a predisponent effect of this allele on the development of mesothelioma. This effect was amplified when the NLRP1 rs2670660 allele was combined with the NLRP1 rs12150220 allele (p=0.004; OR=0.52).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Although NLRP3 SNPs was not involved in mesothelioma predisposition, these data proposed NLRP1 as a novel factor possibly involved in the development of mesothelioma.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal"

deaths annually. Zinc supplementation during acute diarrhoea is currently recommended by the World Health Organization and UNICEF.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVES: &lt;/b&gt;To evaluate oral zinc supplementation for treating children with acute or persistent diarrhoea.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SEARCH METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;In February 2012, we searched the Cochrane Infectious Diseases Group Specialized Register, CENTRAL (The Cochrane Library 2011, Issue 11), MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS, CINAHL, mRCT, and reference lists. We also contacted researchers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SELECTION CRITERIA: &lt;/b&gt;Randomized controlled trials comparing oral zinc supplementation with placebo in children aged one month to five years with acute or persistent diarrhoea, including dysentery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: &lt;/b&gt;Both authors assessed trial eligibility and risk of bias, extracted and analysed data, and drafted the review. Diarrhoea duration and severity were the primary outcomes. We summarized dichotomous outcomes using risk ratios (RR) and continuous outcomes using mean differences (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Where appropriate, we combined data in meta-analyses (using the fixed- or random-effects model) and assessed heterogeneity.The quality of evidence has been assessed using the GRADE methods&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MAIN RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Twenty-four trials, enrolling 9128 children, met our inclusion criteria. The majority of the data is from Asia, from countries at high risk of zinc deficiency, and may not be applicable elsewhere.Acute diarrhoeaThere is currently not enough evidence from well conducted randomized controlled trials to be able to say whether zinc supplementation during acute diarrhoea reduces death or hospitalization (very low quality evidence).In children aged greater than six months with acute diarrhoea, zinc supplementation may shorten the duration of diarrhoea by around 10 hours (MD -10.44 hours, 95% CI -21.13 to 0.25; 2091 children, five trials, low quality evidence), and probably reduces the number of children whose diarrhoea persists until day seven (RR 0.73, 95% CI 0.61 to 0.88; 3865 children, six trials, moderate quality evidence). In children with signs of moderate malnutrition the effect appears greater, reducing the duration of diarrhoea by around 27 hours (MD -26.98 hours, 95% CI -14.62 to -39.34; 336 children, three trials, high quality evidence).Conversely, In children aged less than six months, the available evidence suggests zinc supplementation may have no effect on mean diarrhoea duration (MD 5.23 hours, 95% CI -4.00 to 14.45; 1334 children, two trials, low quality evidence), and may even increase the proportion of children whose diarrhoea persists until day seven (RR 1.24, 95% CI 0.99 to 1.54; 1074 children, one trial, moderate quality evidence).No trials reported serious adverse events, but zinc supplementation during acute diarrhoea causes vomiting in both age groups (RR 1.59, 95% 1.27 to 1.99; 5189 children, 10 trials, high quality evidence).Persistent diarrhoeaIn children with persistent diarrhoea, zinc supplementation probably shortens the duration of diarrhoea by around 16 hours (MD -15.84 hours, 95% CI -25.43 to -6.24; 529 children, five trials, moderate quality evidence).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;In areas where the prevalence of zinc deficiency or the prevalence of moderate malnutrition is high, zinc may be of benefit in children aged six months or more.The current evidence does not support the use of zinc supplementation in children below six months of age.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22696352?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gonelli, Arianna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radillo, Oriano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Drioli, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rimondi, Erika</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Secchiero, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maria Bonora, Gian</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pegylated TRAIL retains anti-leukemic cytotoxicity and exhibits improved signal transduction activity with respect to TRAIL.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Invest New Drugs</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Invest New Drugs</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antineoplastic Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Apoptosis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caspase 3</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Movement</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dose-Response Relationship, Drug</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">HL-60 Cells</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leukemia</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mesenchymal Stromal Cells</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase 1</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase 3</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phosphorylation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polyethylene Glycols</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Recombinant Fusion Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Signal Transduction</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Time Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">TNF-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012 Apr</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">30</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">828-32</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;To improve the pharmacokinetic profile of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) an N-terminal specific pegylation was performed to generate pegylated TRAIL (PEG-TRAIL).

Prior to the mid 1970s PID was considered a monoetiologic infection, due primarily to Neisseria gonorrhea. Now it is well documented as a polymicrobial process, with a great number of microrganisms involved. In addition to Neisseria gonorrhea and Chlamydia trachomatis, other vaginal microrganisms (anaerobes, Gardnerella vaginalis, Haemophilus influenzae, enteric Gram negative rods, Streptococco agalactie, Mycoplasma genitalium) also have been associated with PID. There is a wide variation in PID clinical features; the type and severity of symptoms vary by microbiologic etiology. Women who have chlamydial PID seem more likely than women who have gonococcal PID to be asymptomatic. Since clinical diagnosis is imprecise, the suspicion of PID should be confirmed by genital assessment for signs of inflammation or infection, blood test and imaging evaluation. Laparoscopic approach is considered the gold standard. According to the polymicrobial etiology of PID, antibiotic treatment must provide broad spectrum coverage of likely pathogens. Early administration of antibiotics is necessary to reduce the risk of long-term sequelae.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23007248?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Borelli, Violetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trevisan, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vita, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bottin, Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Melato, Mauro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rizzardi, Clara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zabucchi, Giuliano</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peroxidase-like activity of ferruginous bodies isolated by exploiting their magnetic property.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Toxicol Environ Health A</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Within ferritin, the ferric and ferrous ions are coordinated as ferrihydrite, which is the main iron (Fe) storage compound. However, when ferritin accumulates in some tissues following Fe overload it also contains magnetite along with ferrihydrite, which endows it with magnetic properties. Recently studies showed that magnetite exerts peroxidase-like activity, and since ferruginous bodies display magnetic properties, it was postulated that these particular structures may also contain magnetite within the ferritin coating, and thus may also exert peroxidase-like activity. Histochemical analysis for peroxidase of isolated FB smears demonstrated positive staining. Samples isolated from 4 different autopsy lung fragments were also able to oxidize 3,3',5,5'-tetramethyl-benzidine to a blue colored compound that absorbs at 655 nm. This activity was (1) azide and heat insensitive with optimal pH from 5 to 6, and (2) highly variable, changing more than 25-fold from one sample to another. These findings, together with evidence that the peroxidase-like activity of ferruginous bodies has a hydrogen peroxide and substrate requirement different from that of human myeloperoxidase, can exclude that this enzyme gives a significant contribution to the formation of FB. Standard Fe-rich asbestos fibers also express a peroxidase-like activity, but this appears negligible compared to that of ferruginous bodies. Strong acidification of standard Fe-containing asbestos fibers or magnetically isolated ferruginous bodies liberates a high amount of peroxidase-like activity, which is probably accounted for by the release of Fe ions. Further, FB also damage mesothelial cells in vitro. Data suggest that FB exert peroxidase-like activity and cytotoxic activity against mesothelial cells, and hence may be an important factor in pathogenesis of asbestos-related diseases.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22712847?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, Ludovica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Padovan, Lara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Doc, Darja</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Petix, Vincenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morgutti, Marcello</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A real-time polymerase chain reaction-based protocol for low/medium-throughput Y-chromosome microdeletions analysis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genet Test Mol Biomarkers</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genet Test Mol Biomarkers</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Azoospermia</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chromosome Deletion</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chromosomes, Human, Y</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kruppel-Like Transcription Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sex Chromosome Aberrations</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sex Chromosome Disorders of Sex Development</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012 Dec</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1349-55</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PURPOSE: &lt;/b&gt;We describe a real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) protocol based on the fluorescent molecule SYBR Green chemistry, for a low- to medium-throughput analysis of Y-chromosome microdeletions, optimized according to the European guidelines and aimed at making the protocol faster, avoiding post-PCR processing, and simplifying the results interpretation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We screened 156 men from the Assisted Reproduction Unit, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Institute for Maternal and Child Health IRCCS Burlo Garofolo (Trieste, Italy), 150 not presenting Y-chromosome microdeletion, and 6 with microdeletions in different azoospermic factor (AZF) regions. For each sample, the Zinc finger Y-chromosomal protein (ZFY), sex-determining region Y (SRY), sY84, sY86, sY127, sY134, sY254, and sY255 loci were analyzed by performing one reaction for each locus.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;AZF microdeletions were successfully detected in six individuals, confirming the results obtained with commercial kits.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Our real-time PCR protocol proved to be a rapid, safe, and relatively cheap method that was suitable for a low- to medium-throughput diagnosis of Y-chromosome microdeletion, which allows an analysis of approximately 10 samples (with the addition of positive and negative controls) in a 96-well plate format, or approximately 46 samples in a 384-well plate for all markers simultaneously, in less than 2 h without the need of post-PCR manipulation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23101560?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Erenbourg, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Restaino, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lutje, Vittoria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Review of the scientific literature on the health of the Roma and Sinti in Italy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ethn Dis</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ethn Dis</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gypsies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Services Accessibility</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Status</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Housing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minority Groups</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prejudice</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012 Summer</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">367-71</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Roma and Sinti in Italy are excluded from the rest of society, often live in precarious housing conditions and have poor access to health services. In Italy, the Roma and Sinti minority (.3% of the overall population) is scarcely represented if compared with other European countries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;To establish what is known and how Roma and Sinti health is studied in Italy, we conducted a review of the scientific literature, including articles published between 2000 and 2010, found in Medline, Embase and Web of Science.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;We analyzed 15 relevant articles out of 32 references. Four papers describe rare autosomal recessive disorders. Four illustrate outbreaks of measles. The remaining papers describe health conditions suffered by this minority. All but two, however, are based on data collected at health services.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The lack of prevalence data and analysis of determinants is a detriment to the health of the Roma and Sinti populations in Italy.

In seven months we enrolled 36 post-menopausal women, equally distributed in placebo and active group. The evaluation was based on at least three atrophy-related signs and on the patient reported symptoms. After the written informed consent, the participants were instructed to apply the gel (drug or placebo) daily. Three days after the end of the treatment the patients received a final examination to evaluate the progress of symptoms, the presence of any adverse events and their correlation with the treatment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Self-evaluation scales and investigator evaluation showed that the vaginal dryness was significantly reduced both in placebo and in the active group; however, high molecular weight HA was the only active treatment in reducing significantly itching and burning (P&lt;0.02 and &lt;0.04 respectively). Both treatments significantly reduced vaginal atrophy (P&lt;0.001), erythema (P&lt;0.01 placebo and P&lt;0.001 HA) and vaginal dryness (P&lt;0.001), but HA treatment was significantly more effective on the first two symptoms. Both treatments were very well tolerated and compliance of the treatment was very high.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;High molecular weight HA could be effective in subjective and objective improvement of postmenopausal vaginal atrophy providing a good compliance. No adverse events occurred during the entire period of the study.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22728576?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kawanda, Lumana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Capobianco, Ivan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Starc, Meta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Felipe, Daniel</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanon, Davide</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Munkela, Nadine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rodrigues, Verónica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Malundo, Lúis</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Not, Tarcisio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sedation with intranasal midazolam of Angolan children undergoing invasive procedures.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Paediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Paediatr.</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Administration, Intranasal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ambulatory Surgical Procedures</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Angola</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child Behavior</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Conscious Sedation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crying</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hypnotics and Sedatives</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Midazolam</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prospective Studies</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012 Jul</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">101</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e296-8</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AIM: &lt;/b&gt;Ambulatory surgery is a daily requirement in poor countries, and limited means and insufficient trained staff lead to the lack of attention to the patient's pain. Midazolam is a rapid-onset, short-acting benzodiazepine which is used safely to reduce pain in children. We evaluated the practicability of intranasal midazolam sedation in a suburban hospital in Luanda (Angola), during the surgical procedures.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Intranasal midazolam solution was administered at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg. Using the Ramsay's reactivity score, we gave a score to four different types of children's behaviour: moaning, shouting, crying and struggling, and the surgeon evaluated the ease of completing the surgical procedure using scores from 0 (very easy) to 3 (managing with difficulty).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Eighty children (median age, 3 years) were recruited, and 140 surgical procedures were performed. Fifty-two children were treated with midazolam during 85 procedures, and 28 children were not treated during 55 procedures. We found a significant difference between the two groups on the shouting, crying and struggling parameters (p &lt; 0.001). The mean score of the ease of completing the procedures was significantly different among the two groups (p &lt; 0.0001).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;These results provide a model of procedural sedation in ambulatory surgical procedures in poor countries, thus abolishing pain and making the surgeon's job easier.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22458936?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mazzoni, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rigolin, Gian Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alaribe, Franca Nneka</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pancaldi, Cecilia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maniero, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comar, Manola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martini, Fernanda</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tognon, Mauro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Simian virus 40 efficiently infects human T lymphocytes and extends their lifespan.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Exp Hematol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Exp.

Purified human T lymphocytes isolated from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy blood donors were experimentally infected with simian virus 40 (SV40), a small DNA tumor virus. SV40-positive T lymphocytes extended their lifespan up to day 80 postinfection (PI). Expression of viral antigens, such as the large T antigen and the viral capsid protein VP1 from the early and late regions, respectively, was detected up to day 40 PI. SV40 viral progeny were continuously produced from day 10 to 40 PI. SV40 DNA sequences were detected in infected T cells for up to 80 days. Our data indicate that human T lymphocytes can be efficiently infected with SV40. Although T cells infected by SV40 were not immortalized, 30% of these lymphocytes appeared to be morphologically transformed with an enlarged T-cell shape. Our investigation provides a simple model for studying the interactions of human T lymphocytes with this small DNA tumor virus and it might represent an experimental tool for investigating new biomarkers and targets for innovative therapeutic approaches.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22421183?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbiero, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lonciari, Isabella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montico, Marcella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Penge, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vio, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tressoldi, Patrizio Emanuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferluga, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bigoni, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tullio, Alessia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carrozzi, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CENDi (National Committee on the Epidemiology of Dyslexia) working group</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epidemiology of Dyslexia of Friuli Venezia Giulia working group (FVGwg)</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The submerged dyslexia iceberg: how many school children are not diagnosed?

The objective of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of dyslexia in an unselected school population using clearly defined and rigorous diagnostic criteria and methods.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Cross sectional study. We selected a random cluster sample of 94 fourth grade elementary school classes of Friuli Venezia Giulia, a Region of North Eastern Italy. We carried out three consecutive levels of screening: the first two at school and the last at the Neuropsychiatry Unit of a third level Mother and Child Hospital. The main outcome measure was the prevalence of dyslexia, defined as the number of children positive to the third level of screening divided by the total number of children enrolled.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;We recruited 1774 children aged 8-10 years, of which 1528 received parents' consent to participate. After applying exclusion criteria, 1357 pupils constituted the final working sample. The prevalence of dyslexia in the enrolled population ranged from 3.1% (95% CI 2.2-4.1%) to 3.2% (95% CI 2.4-4.3%) depending on different criteria adopted. In two out of three children with dyslexia the disorder had not been previously diagnosed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;This study shows that dyslexia is largely underestimated in Italy and underlines the need for reliable information on prevalence, in order to better allocate resources both to Health Services and Schools.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal"

are the most common source of pain and distress for children. Reducing needle related pain and anxiety could be important in order to prevent further distress, especially for children needing multiple hospital admissions. The aim of the present open randomized controlled trial was to investigate the efficacy of adding an active distraction strategy (videogame) to EMLA premedication in needle-related pain in children.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;One-hundred and nine children (4 -10 years of age) were prospectively recruited to enter in the study. Ninety-seven were randomized in two groups: CC group (conventional care: EMLA only) as control group and AD group (active distraction: EMLA plus videogame) as intervention group. Outcome measures were: self-reported pain by mean of FPS-R scale (main study outcome), observer-reported pain by FLACC scale, number of attempts for successful procedure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;In both groups FPS-R median rate was 0 (interquartile range: 0-2), with significant pain (FPS-R &gt; 4) reported by 9% of subjects. FLACC median rate was 1 in both groups (interquartile range 0-3 in CC group; 0-2 in AD group). The percentage of children with major pain (FLACC &gt; 4) was 18% in CC group and 9% in AD group (p = 0.2). The median of necessary attempts to succeed in the procedures was 1 (interquartile range 1-2) in both groups..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Active distraction doesn't improve EMLA analgesia for iv cannulation and venipuncture. Even though, it resulted in an easily applicable strategy appreciated by children. This technique could be usefully investigated in other painful procedures.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style

AT1002 reduced transepithelial electrical resistance across rat small intestine, ex vivo, as did Zot and its processed mature form, ΔG. AT1002 increased in vivo permeability to sugar tracers, whereas scrambled control peptides did not. Binding and barrier assays in proteinase activated receptor (PAR)(2)-expressing and PAR(2)-null cells established AT1002 activity to be PAR(2) dependent. Coincident with the increased intestinal permeability, confocal microscopy of AT1002-exposed rat intestinal IEC6 cells revealed displacement of ZO-1 and occludin from intercellular boundaries. In coimmunoprecipitation assays, AT1002 decreased ZO-1-occludin and ZO-1-claudin 1 interactions coincident with PKCα-dependent ZO-1 serine/threonine phosphorylation. Further, AT1002 increased serine phosphorylation of myosin 1C and, at the same time, transiently diminished its association with ZO-1. The COOH-terminal domain of ZO-1 was required for its association with myosin 1C. These data indicate that the NH(2)-terminal portion of active Zot contains a PAR(2)-activating motif, FCIGRL, that increases PKCα-dependent ZO-1 and myosin 1C serine/threonine phosphorylation. These modifications provoke selective disengagement of ZO-1 from its binding partners, occludin, claudin 1, and myosin 1C, coincident with opening of tjs.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20852064?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zauli, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rimondi, Erika</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vecchi Brumatti, Liza</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radillo, Oriano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montico, Marcella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Ottavio, Giuseppina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberico, Salvatore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Secchiero, Paola</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Circulating TRAIL shows a significant post-partum decline associated to stressful conditions.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PLoS One</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PLoS ONE</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biological Markers</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">C-Reactive Protein</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fetal Blood</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fetal Distress</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Labor, Obstetric</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Logistic Models</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Multivariate Analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Postpartum Period</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy Outcome</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Statistics, Nonparametric</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stress, Physiological</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">TNF-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e27011</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Since circulating levels of TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) may be important in the physiopathology of pregnancy, we tested the hypothesis that TRAIL levels change at delivery in response to stressful conditions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;We conducted a longitudinal study in a cohort of 73 women examined at week 12, week 16, delivery and in the corresponding cord blood (CB). Serum TRAIL was assessed in relationship with maternal characteristics and to biochemical parameters. TRAIL did not vary between 12 (67.6±27.6 pg/ml, means±SD) and 16 (64.0±16.2 pg/ml) weeks' gestation, while displaying a significant decline after partum (49.3±26.4 pg/ml). Using a cut-off decline &gt;20 pg/ml between week 12 and delivery, the subset of women with the higher decline of circulating TRAIL (41.7%) showed the following characteristics: i) nullipara, ii) higher age, iii) operational vaginal delivery or urgent CS, iv) did not receive analgesia during labor, v) induced labor. CB TRAIL was significantly higher (131.6±52 pg/ml) with respect to the corresponding maternal TRAIL, and the variables significantly associated with the first quartile of CB TRAIL (&lt;90 pg/ml) were higher pre-pregnancy BMI, induction of labor and fetal distress. With respect to the biochemical parameters, maternal TRAIL at delivery showed an inverse correlation with C-reactive protein (CRP), total cortisol, glycemia and insulin at bivariate analysis, but only with CRP at multivariate analysis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Stressful partum conditions and elevated CRP levels are associated with a decrease of circulating TRAIL.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22194780?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mazza, Cinzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Buzi, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ortolani, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vitali, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Notarangelo, Lucia D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Weber, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bacchetta, Rosa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soresina, Annarosa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lougaris, Vassilios</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Greggio, Nella A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taddio, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pasic, Srdjan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Vroede, Monique</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pac, Malgorzata</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kilic, Sara Sebnem</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ozden, Sanal</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rusconi, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martino, Silvana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Capalbo, Donatella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salerno, Mariacarolina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pignata, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radetti, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maggiore, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plebani, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Notarangelo, Luigi D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Badolato, Raffaele</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clinical heterogeneity and diagnostic delay of autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy syndrome.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin.

We analyzed the AIRE (autoimmune regulator) gene in subjects who presented any symptom that has been associated with APECED, including candidiasis and autoimmune endocrinopathy. We observed that 83.3% of patients presented at least two of the three typical manifestations of APECED, while the remaining 16.7% of patients showed other signs of the disease. Analysis of the genetic diagnosis of these subjects revealed that a considerable delay occurs in the majority of patients between the appearance of symptoms and the diagnosis. Overall, the mean diagnostic delay in our patients was 10.2 years. These results suggest that molecular analysis of AIRE should be performed in patients with relapsing mucocutaneous candidiasis for early identification of APECED.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21295522?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chiaretti, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ruggiero, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pierri, Filomena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maurizi, Palma</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fantacci, Claudia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bersani, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Riccardi, Riccardo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comparison of propofol versus propofol-ketamine combination in pediatric oncologic procedures performed by non-anesthesiologists.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Blood Cancer</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Blood Cancer</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biopsy, Needle</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bone Marrow Examination</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Conscious Sedation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hypnotics and Sedatives</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ketamine</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neoplasms</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatrics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Physicians</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Propofol</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spinal Puncture</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011 Dec 15</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">57</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1163-7</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Limited data are available on the best option (short acting sedatives, opioids, or ketamine) in oncologic procedural sedation performed by non-anesthesiologists. The aim of the present prospective study is to compare the safety and efficacy of propofol-ketamine versus propofol alone, managed by trained pediatricians, in children with cancer undergoing painful procedures.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PROCEDURES: &lt;/b&gt;Data on 121 children with acute lymphatic leukemia (ALL) undergoing procedural sedations (lumbar punctures and bone marrow aspirations) were prospectively collected and included drug doses, side effects, pain assessment, and sedation degree. Children were randomly assigned to one of the two groups: P (n = 62) receiving propofol alone and K (n = 59) in whom a ketamine-propofol combination was used.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;In group K, the total dose of propofol required was significantly lower than in group P (3.9 ± 3.6 mg/kg vs. 5.1 ± 3.6 mg/kg; P &lt; 0.001). The incidence of hypotension was also significantly lower (11% vs. 39%; P &lt; 0.001). Major O(2) desaturations (defined as SatO(2) &lt; 88%) occurred principally in group P (7 vs. 1; P = 0.05). Both best analgesia and shorter recovery time were obtained with the propofol-ketamine association. No differences were observed in the degree of sedation and in the awakening quality score between the two groups.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The combination of propofol and ketamine produced statistically significant clinical advantages combined with a higher profile of safety in children with cancer undergoing painful procedures.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21584935?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zauli, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Voltan, Rebecca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bosco, Raffaella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Melloni, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marmiroli, Sandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rigolin, Gian Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cuneo, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Secchiero, Paola</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dasatinib plus Nutlin-3 shows synergistic antileukemic activity in both p53 wild-type and p53 mutated B chronic lymphocytic leukemias by inhibiting the Akt pathway.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin Cancer Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin.

The role of Akt in modulating leukemic cell survival/apoptosis in response to Dasatinib or Dasatinib + Nutlin-3 was documented by functional experiments carried out using specific pharmacological inhibitors and by overexpression of membrane-targeted constitutively active form of Akt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The combination of Dasatinib + Nutlin-3 exhibited a synergistic cytotoxicity in the majority (19 out of 20) of B-CLL samples, including patients carrying 17p- (n = 4), and in both p53(wild-type) and p53(deleted/mutated) B leukemic cell lines. At the molecular level, Dasatinib significantly counteracted the Nutlin-3-mediated induction of the p53 transcriptional targets MDM2 and p21 observed in p53(wild-type) leukemic cells. Conversely, Nutlin-3 did not interfere with the ability of Dasatinib to decrease the phosphorylation levels of ERK1/2, p38/MAPK, and Akt in both p53(wild-type) and p53(deleted/mutated) B leukemic cell lines. A critical role of Akt downregulation in mediating the antileukemic activity of Dasatinib and Dasatinib + Nutlin-3 was demonstrated in experiments carried out by specifically modulating the Akt pathway.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;These findings suggest that Dasatinib + Nutlin-3 might represent an innovative therapeutic combination for both p53(wild-type) and p53(deleted/mutated) B-CLL.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21106726?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Agaro, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molin, G Dal</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gallo, T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rossi, T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Santon, D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Busetti, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comar, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campello, C</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epidemiological and molecular assessment of a measles outbreak in a highly vaccinated population of northeast Italy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epidemiol Infect</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epidemiol.

Forty-two cases were reported during the period April-May 2008. In the first outbreak the index case was a teacher who introduced the virus into the Pordenone area, involving eight adolescents and young adults. The other concomitant outbreak occurred in the city of Trieste with 33 cases. The containment of the epidemics can be explained by the high MMR vaccine coverage in an area where the first dose was delivered to 93·4% and the second dose to 88·3% of the target children. Phylogenetic analysis of 14 measles virus strains showed that they belonged to a unique D4 genotype indistinguishable from the MVs/Enfield.GBR/14.07 strain, probably introduced from areas (i.e. Piedmont and Germany) where this genotype was present or had recently caused a large epidemic.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21396148?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cattaneo, Adriano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Williams, Carol</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pallás-Alonso, Carmen Rosa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hernández-Aguilar, Maria Teresa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lasarte-Velillas, Juan José</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Landa-Rivera, Leonardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rouw, Elien</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pina, Mónica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Volta, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oudesluys-Murphy, Anne Marie</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ESPGHAN's 2008 recommendation for early introduction of complementary foods: how good is the evidence?</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Matern Child Nutr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Matern Child Nutr</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Breast Feeding</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Evidence-Based Practice</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant Food</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant Nutritional Physiological Phenomena</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milk, Human</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nutritional Status</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Health</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reproducibility of Results</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">World Health Organization</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011 Oct</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">335-43</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Since 2002, the World Health Organization and many governments and professional associations have recommended exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months followed by complementary feeding (giving solid foods alongside breast milk) as optimal infant feeding practice. Several articles have been published challenging this recommendation. Arguably, the most influential has been the 2008 commentary of the European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (ESPGHAN) Committee on Nutrition, which recommended that complementary foods should be introduced to all infants between 17 and 26 weeks. We challenge the validity of ESPGHAN's position, questioning the adequacy of the literature search, the interpretation and evidence used to reach their conclusions and the balance of an approach that focuses on disease prevention, with scant consideration of growth and neuromotor development. We contend that ESPGHAN's position should be understood as an expert opinion that may be influenced by conflicts of interest. In our view, the ESPGHAN position paper is not evidence based and does not justify a change of the current public health recommendation for 6 months of exclusive breastfeeding. At an individual level, health professionals should understand that developmental readiness for starting solid foods has an age range like other developmental milestones; that fewer infants will probably be ready to start complementary feeding before, rather than after, 6 months; and that their role is to equip parents with the confidence and skills to recognise the signs of developmental readiness. This empowerment process for infants and parents should be preferred over the prescriptive ESPGHAN approach.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21902806?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bosco, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Melloni, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celeghini, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rimondi, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vaccarezza, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zauli, G</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fine tuning of protein kinase C (PKC) isoforms in cancer: shortening the distance from the laboratory to the bedside.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mini Rev Med Chem</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mini Rev Med Chem</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antineoplastic Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biological Products</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Enzyme Inhibitors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Isoenzymes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neoplasms</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oligonucleotides, Antisense</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peptides</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Protein Kinase C</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011 Mar</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">185-99</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The serine/threonine protein kinase C (PKC) family was first identified as intracellular receptor(s) for the tumor promoting agents phorbol esters. Thirty years after the discovery of PKC, the role of specific PKC isoforms has been described in relationship with an altered pattern of expression in different types of cancer and a good number of small molecule inhibitors (inhibitory peptides, antisense oligonucleotides or natural compounds) targeting PKC are now available. Despite all these achievements and a huge amount of basic research studies on the biochemical regulation of PKC, there has been a delay in clinical trials with drugs targeting PKC function. This delay is easily explained taking into account the extreme biological complexity of the PKC family of isoforms and the incomplete understanding of the specific role of each PKC isozyme in different types of cancers. Some of the difficulties in developing pharmacological compounds selectively tuning the different PKCs have started to be overcome. In this review, the growing evidences of the role of the PKC isoforms α, βII, δ, ε, ζ and ι is in promoting or counteracting tumor progression will be discussed in relationship with promising therapeutic perspectives.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21534929?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rondelli, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dini, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Rosa, Marisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quarello, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bisogno, Gianni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aricò, Maurizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vasconcelos, Carivaldo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tamaro, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Casazza, Gabriella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zecca, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Laurentis, Clementina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Porta, Fulvio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pession, Andrea</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign children with cancer in Italy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ital J Pediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ital J Pediatr</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Africa</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Asia</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Databases, Factual</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Emigrants and Immigrants</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ethnic Groups</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Europe, Eastern</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">European Union</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Incidence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant, Newborn</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neoplasms</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">North America</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oceania</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prevalence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retrospective Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">South America</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Survival Rate</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">37</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">44</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;There has been a noticeable annual increase in the number of children coming to Italy for medical treatment, just like it has happened in the rest of the European Union. In Italy, the assistance to children suffering from cancer is assured by the current network of 54 centres members of the Italian Association of Paediatric Haematology and Oncology (AIEOP), which has kept records of all demographic and clinical data in the database of Mod.1.01 Registry since 1989.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We used the information stored in the already mentioned database to assess the impact of immigration of foreign children with cancer on centres' activity, with the scope of drawing a map of the assistance to these cases.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Out of 14,738 cases recorded by all centres in the period from 1999 to 2008, 92.2% were born and resident in Italy, 4.1% (608) were born abroad and living abroad and 3.7% (538) were born abroad and living in Italy. Foreign children cases have increased over the years from 2.5% in 1999 to. 8.1% in 2008.Most immigrant children came from Europe (65.7%), whereas patients who came from America, Asia and Oceania amounted to 13.2%, 10.1%, 0.2%, respectively. The immigrant survival rate was lower compared to that of children who were born in Italy. This is especially true for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia patients entered an AIEOP protocol, who showed a 10-years survival rate of 71.0% vs. 80.7% (p &lt; 0.001) for immigrants and patients born in Italy, respectively.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Children and adolescents are an increasingly important part of the immigration phenomenon, which occurs in many parts of the world. In Italy the vast majority of children affected by malignancies are treated in AIEOP centres. Since immigrant children are predominantly treated in northern Italy, these centres have developed a special expertise in treating immigrant patients, which is certainly very useful for the entire AIEOP network.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21923939?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Passerini, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Olek, Sven</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Nunzio, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barzaghi, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hambleton, Sophie</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Abinun, Mario</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vignola, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cipolli, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amendola, Mario</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Naldini, Luigi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guidi, Luisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cecconi, Massimiliano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Roncarolo, Maria G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bacchetta, Rosa</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Forkhead box protein 3 (FOXP3) mutations lead to increased TH17 cell numbers and regulatory T-cell instability.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Allergy Clin Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

The relevance of other peripheral tolerance mechanisms, such as the presence and function of type 1 regulatory T (Tr1) cells, the major adaptive IL-10-producing Treg subset, in patients with IPEX syndrome remains to be clarified. FOXP3(mutated) Tr1-polarized cells, differentiated in vitro from CD4(+) T cells of four IPEX patients, were enriched in IL-10(+) IL-4(-) IFN-γ(+) T cells, a cytokine production profile specific for Tr1 cells, and expressed low levels of FOXP3 and high levels of Granzyme-B. IPEX Tr1 cells were hypoproliferative and suppressive, thus indicating that FOXP3 mutations did not impair their function. Furthermore, we isolated Tr1 cell clones from the peripheral blood of one FOXP3(null) patient, demonstrating that Tr1 cells are present in vivo and they can be expanded in vitro in the absence of WT FOXP3. Overall, our results (i) show that functional Tr1 cells differentiate independently of FOXP3, (ii) confirm that human Tr1 and nTregs are distinct T-cell lineages, and (iii) suggest that under favorable conditions Tr1 cells could exert regulatory functions in IPEX patients.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21400500?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chen, S-H</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yang, W</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fan, Y</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stocco, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crews, K R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yang, J J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paugh, S W</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pui, C-H</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Evans, W E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Relling, M V</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A genome-wide approach identifies that the aspartate metabolism pathway contributes to asparaginase sensitivity.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leukemia</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leukemia</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antineoplastic Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Asparaginase</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aspartic Acid</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Line</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genome-Wide Association Study</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Multivariate Analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Precursor Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia-Lymphoma</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011 Jan</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">25</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">66-74</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Asparaginase is an important component for treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The basis for interindividual differences in asparaginase sensitivity remains unclear. To comprehensively identify genetic variants important in the cytotoxicity of asparaginase, we used a genome-wide association approach using the HapMap lymphoblastoid cell lines (87 CEU trio members) and 54 primary ALL leukemic blast samples at diagnosis. Asparaginase sensitivity was assessed as the drug concentration necessary to inhibit 50% of growth (inhibitory concentration (IC)(50)). In CEU lines, we tested 2,390,203 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotypes at the individual SNP (P&lt;0.001) and gene level (P&lt;0.05), and identified 329 SNPs representing 94 genes that were associated with asparaginase IC(50). The aspartate metabolism pathway was the most overrepresented among 199 pathways evaluated (P=8.1 × 10(-3)), with primary involvement of adenylosuccinate lyase and aspartyl-tRNA synthetase genes. We validated that SNPs in the aspartate metabolism pathway were also associated with asparaginase sensitivity in primary ALL leukemic blast samples (P=5.5 × 10(-5)). Our genome-wide interrogation of CEU cell lines and primary ALL blasts revealed that inherited genomic interindividual variation in a plausible candidate pathway can contribute to asparaginase

We now report genome-wide association studies of pulse pressure (PP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP). In discovery (N = 74,064) and follow-up studies (N = 48,607), we identified at genome-wide significance (P = 2.7 × 10(-8) to P = 2.3 × 10(-13)) four new PP loci (at 4q12 near CHIC2, 7q22.3 near PIK3CG, 8q24.12 in NOV and 11q24.3 near ADAMTS8), two new MAP loci (3p21.31 in MAP4 and 10q25.3 near ADRB1) and one locus associated with both of these traits (2q24.3 near FIGN) that has also recently been associated with SBP in east Asians. For three of the new PP loci, the estimated effect for SBP was opposite of that for DBP, in contrast to the majority of common SBP- and DBP-associated variants, which show concordant effects on both traits. These findings suggest new genetic pathways underlying blood pressure variation, some of which may differentially influence SBP and DBP.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21909110?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maso, Gianpaolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberico, Salvatore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wiesenfeld, Uri</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Erenbourg, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hadar, Eran</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yogev, Yariv</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hod, Moshe</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GINEXMAL Study Cooperative Research Group</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&quot;GINEXMAL RCT: Induction of labour versus expectant management in gestational diabetes pregnancies&quot;.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC Pregnancy Childbirth</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC Pregnancy Childbirth</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cesarean Section</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diabetes, Gestational</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gestational Age</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Intention to Treat Analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Labor, Induced</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patient Selection</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy Outcome</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Research Design</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Watchful Waiting</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Young Adult</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">31</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Gestational diabetes (GDM) is one of the most common complications of pregnancies affecting around 7% of women. This clinical condition is associated with an increased risk of developing fetal macrosomia and is related to a higher incidence of caesarean section in comparison to the general population. Strong evidence indicating the best management between induction of labour at term and expectant monitoring are missing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS/DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;Pregnant women with singleton pregnancy in vertex presentation previously diagnosed with gestational diabetes will be asked to participate in a multicenter open-label randomized controlled trial between 38+0 and 39+0 gestational weeks. Women will be recruited in the third trimester in the outpatient clinic or in the Day Assessment Unit according to local protocols. Women who opt to take part will be randomized according to induction of labour or expectant management for spontaneous delivery. Patients allocated to the induction group will be admitted to the obstetric ward and offered induction of labour via use of prostaglandins, Foley catheter or oxytocin (depending on clinical conditions). Women assigned to the expectant arm will be sent to their domicile where they will be followed up until delivery, through maternal and fetal wellbeing monitoring twice weekly. The primary study outcome is the Caesarean section (C-section) rate, whilst secondary measurements are maternal and neonatal outcomes. A total sample of 1760 women (880 each arm) will be recruited to identify a relative difference between the two arms equal to 20% in favour of induction, with concerns to C-section rate. Data will be collected until mothers and newborns discharge from the hospital. Analysis of the outcome measures will be carried out by intention to treat.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DISCUSSION: &lt;/b&gt;The present trial will provide evidence as to whether or not, in women affected by gestational diabetes, induction of labour between 38+0 and 39+0 weeks is an effective management to ameliorate maternal and neonatal outcomes. The primary objective is to determine whether caesarean section rate could be reduced among women undergoing induction of labour, in comparison to patients allocated to expectant monitoring. The secondary objective consists of the assessment and comparison of maternal and neonatal outcomes in the two study arms. .&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21507262?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Uderzo, Cornelio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rebora, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marrocco, Emanuela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Varotto, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cichello, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bonetti, Maurizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maximova, Natalia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanon, Davide</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fagioli, Franca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nesi, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Masetti, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Masetti, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rovelli, Attilio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rondelli, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valsecchi, Maria Grazia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cesaro, Simone</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Glutamine-enriched nutrition does not reduce mucosal morbidity or complications after stem-cell transplantation for childhood malignancies: a prospective randomized study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transplantation</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transplantation</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Analgesia</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Double-Blind Method</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Glutamine</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mucositis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mucous Membrane</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neoplasms</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Odds Ratio</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parenteral Nutrition</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prospective Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Recurrence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stem Cells</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Treatment Outcome</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011 Jun 27</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">91</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1321-5</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Intravenous glutamine-enriched solution seems to be effective in posttransplant period in decreasing the severity and duration of mucositis. The aim of this randomized study was to determine the benefit of glutamine supplementation both on mucosal morbidity and in posttransplant associated complications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Children undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) for malignant hematological diseases were randomly assigned to standard total parenteral nutrition (S-TPN) or glutamine-enriched (GE)-TPN solution consisting of 0.4 g/kg/day of l-alanine-glutamine dipeptide. This treatment started on the day of HSCT and ended when the patients could orally cover more than 50% of their daily energy requirements. The severity and the rate of post-HSCT mucositis were based on World Health Organization criteria. All the analyses were conducted on intention-to-treat principle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;One hundred twenty consecutive patients (83 men; median age, 8.1 years) were enrolled. The mean duration of treatment was 23.5 and 23 days in the two treatment arms. The mean calorie intake was 1538 kcal/d in the S-TPN group and 1512 kcal/d in GE-TPN group. All patients were well nourished before and after HSCT. Mucositis occurred in 91.4% and 91.7% of patients in S-TPN and GE-TPN arm, respectively (P=0.98). Odds ratio adjusted by type of HSCT was 0.98 (95% confidence interval, 0.26-2.63). Type and duration of analgesic treatment, clinical outcome (engraftment, graft versus host disease, early morbidity, and mortality, relapse rate up to 180 days post-HSCT) were not significantly different in the two treatment arms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;GE-TPN solution does not affect mucositis and outcome in well-nourished HSCT allogeneic patients.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21499196?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girotto, Giorgia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pirastu, Nicola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sorice, Rossella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biino, Ginevra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campbell, Harry</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">d'Adamo, Adamo P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hastie, Nicholas D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nutile, Teresa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polasek, Ozren</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Portas, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rudan, Igor</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ulivi, Sheila</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zemunik, Tatijana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wright, Alan F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ciullo, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hayward, Caroline</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pirastu, Mario</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hearing function and thresholds: a genome-wide association study in European isolated populations identifies new loci and pathways.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Med Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Additional biological candidates marked by a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with a suggestive association (p&lt;10(-6)) were identified, as well as loci encompassing 'gene desert regions'-genes of unknown function or genes whose function has not be linked to hearing so far. Some of these new loci map to already known hereditary hearing loss loci whose genes still need to be identified. Data have also been used to construct a highly significant 'in silico' pathway for hearing function characterised by a network of 49 genes, 34 of which are certainly expressed in the ear.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;These results provide new insights into the molecular basis of hearing function and may suggest new targets for hearing impairment treatment and prevention.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21493956?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bortot, Barbara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Athanasakis, Emmanouil</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brun, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rizzotti, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mestroni, Luisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sinagra, Gianfranco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Severini, Giovanni Maria</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">High-throughput genotyping robot-assisted method for mutation detection in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diagn Mol Pathol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diagn.

Genetic screening is now considered a fundamental tool for clinical management of HCM families. However, the high genetic heterogeneity of HCM makes genetic screening very expensive. Here, we propose a new high-throughput genotyping method based on a HCM 96-well sequencing plate for the analysis of 8 of the most frequent HCM-causing sarcomeric genes by automating several processes required for direct sequencing, using a commercially available robotic systems and routinely used instruments. To assess the efficiency of the robot-assisted method, we have analyzed the entire coding sequence and flanking intronic sequences of the 8 sarcomeric genes in samples from 18 patients affected by HCM and their relatives, which revealed 9 different mutations, 3 of which were novel. The automated, robot-assisted assembling of polymerase chain reaction, purification of polymerase chain reaction products, and assembly of sequencing reactions resulted in a substantial saving of time, reagent costs, and reduction of human errors, and can therefore be proposed as a primary strategy for mutation identification in HCM genetic screening in many medical genetic laboratories.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21817903?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Batty, G D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Macaluso, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lutje, V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bavcar, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">van Lenthe, F J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brug, J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cattaneo, A</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Interventions for the prevention of overweight and obesity in preschool children: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Obes Rev</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Obes Rev</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child Nutrition Sciences</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child Nutritional Physiological Phenomena</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Exercise</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Promotion</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Life Style</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Obesity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Overweight</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Randomized Controlled Trials as Topic</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011 May</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e107-18</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The objective of this study was to analyse interventions for the prevention of overweight and obesity in children under 5 years of age. We carried out a systematic review focusing exclusively on randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Data sources include Medline, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, CINHAL, PsychInfo and Web of Science. Data were extracted from seventeen articles describing seven RCTs identified through electronic search, screening of references in systematic reviews, own files and contact with authors. RCTs were assessed with the Jadad scale. Four trials were carried out in preschool settings, one with an exclusive educational component, two with an exclusive physical activity component and one with both. Two trials were family-based, with education and counselling for parents and children. The remaining trial was carried out in maternity hospitals, with a training intervention on breastfeeding. None of the interventions had an effect in preventing overweight and obesity. The failure to show an effect may be due to the choice of outcomes, the quality of the RCTs, the suboptimal implementation of the interventions, the lack of focus on social and environmental determinants. More rigorous research is needed on interventions and on social and environmental factors that could impact on lifestyle.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20576004?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chiaretti, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barone, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rigante, Donato</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ruggiero, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pierri, Filomena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barone, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Riccardi, Riccardo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Intranasal lidocaine and midazolam for procedural sedation in children.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch Dis Child</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch.

To avoid any nasal discomfort a puff of lidocaine spray (10 mg/puff) was administered before INM. The child's degree of sedation was scored using a modified Ramsay sedation scale. A questionnaire was designed to evaluate the parents' and doctors' opinions on the efficacy of the sedation. Statistical analysis was used to compare sedation times with children's age and weight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The degree of sedation achieved by INM enabled all procedures to be completed without additional drugs. Premedication with lidocaine spray prevented any nasal discomfort related to the INM. The mean duration of sedation was 23.1 min. The depth of sedation was 1 on the modified Ramsay scale. The questionnaire revealed high levels of satisfaction by both doctors and parents. Sedation start and end times were significantly correlated with age only. No side effects were recorded in the cohort of children studied.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;This study has shown that the combined use of lidocaine spray and atomised INM appears to be a safe and effective method to achieve short-term sedation in children to facilitate medical care and procedures.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21030365?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ricci, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zito, Gabriella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fischer-Tamaro, Leo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Management of the adnexal mass.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Obstet Gynecol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Obstet Gynecol</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ovarian Neoplasms</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011 Oct</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">118</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">956;

The aim of the present study was to assess the relevance of genetic diversity of MBL in OLP. The study sample comprised 90 individuals, 45 OLP patients and 45 healthy volunteers. MBL-2 gene was amplified using real-time PCR. Frequency of A/A genotype was 55.6% in OLP and 53.3% in healthy volunteers. Likewise, A/0 heterozygote genotype was found in 42.2% and 35.6%; 2.2% and 11.1%, had the recessive 0/0 genotype respectively. Frequencies of the &quot;A&quot; and &quot;0&quot; alleles were 77% and 23% in the OLP group and 71.2% in control group. There were no statistically significant differences regarding genotype frequency (p = 0.546) or allele frequency (p = 0.497). In conclusion, no significant association was found between polymorphism of MBL-2 gene and OLP.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20499118?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bossi, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Frossi, B</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radillo, O</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cugno, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tedeschi, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Riboldi, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Asero, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tedesco, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pucillo, C</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mast cells are critically involved in serum-mediated vascular leakage in chronic urticaria beyond high-affinity IgE receptor stimulation.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Allergy</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Allergy</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Capillary Permeability</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chronic Disease</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Endothelial Cells</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Histamine Release</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mast Cells</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Receptors, IgE</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Serum</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Urticaria</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Young Adult</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011 Dec</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">66</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1538-45</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Chronic urticaria (CU) is one of the most common skin disorders whose pathogenic mechanisms are not fully clarified. Autoimmune aetiology can be ascribed to 45% of patients with CU, and basophil histamine release is positive in 40% of cases. Our aim was to use a novel approach to evaluate the serum permeabilizing effect to identify the mediators of endothelial cell (EC) leakage and to define the role of mast cells (MCs) in the process.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Permeabilizing activity of sera from 19 patients with CU and 11 healthy blood donors was evaluated by measuring serum-induced degranulation of two MC lines, expressing (LAD2) or lacking (HMC-1) the IgE receptor. Mast cell supernatant (SN) was then incubated with an EC monolayer, and endothelial permeability was evaluated by Fluorescein isothiocyanate-bovine serum albumin leakage in a transwell system.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;All 19 patient sera failed to induce direct EC leakage, but 15/19 and 17/19 promoted degranulation of HMC-1 and LAD2, respectively. Interestingly, 85% of autologous serum skin test-negative sera were able to cause MC degranulation. Also, 17/19 SNs from HMC-1 and all SNs from LAD2 incubated with CU sera increased endothelial permeability. Endothelial cell leakage remained unchanged after Ig depletion and was prevented by antihistamine, platelet-activating factor or leukotriene antagonist.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our study shows that CU sera are able to degranulate MCs through an IgE- and IgG-independent mechanism. The nature of histamine-releasing factors involved is still unclear, but our finding opens new ways to the understanding of the pathogenesis of CU, particularly in patients not showing circulating autoantibodies to FcεRI or IgE.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21906078?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campello, Cesare</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comar, Manola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Agaro, Pierlanfranco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minicozzi, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rodella, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poli, Albino</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A molecular case-control study of the Merkel cell polyomavirus in colon cancer.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Med Virol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Fresh tissue samples from 64 cases of colon cancer (mean age 69.9 ± 11.0 years; 40 males) and fresh biopsies from 80 relatives (mean age 53.7 ± 8.6 years; 43 male; 55 son/daughter, 23 brother/sister, 2 parents) were analyzed by PCR and sequencing. Pre-cancerous lesions, namely adenomas and polyps, were detected in 15 (18.8%) and 9 (11.2%) of the controls, respectively. In addition, 144 blood samples were examined. Merkel cell polyomavirus DNA was detected in 6.3% of cases and 8.8% of controls. This difference was not statistically significant in the logistic regression analysis, after adjustment for age. Whereas blood samples from both cases and controls tested negative, the DNA Merkel cell polyomavirus was identified in 12.5% of adenoma/polyp tissues. No statistically significant difference was found when prevalence rates of Merkel cell polyomavirus in normal, pre-cancerous and cancer tissues were compared. Sequence analysis of the viral LT3 and VP1 regions showed high homology (&gt;99%) with those of strains circulating worldwide, especially with genotypes detected in France. The findings of this survey are consistent with the hypothesis that the Merkel cell polyomavirus, in addition to other human polyomaviruses, can be recovered frequently from the gastrointestinal tract, because it is transmitted throughout the fecal-oral route. Moreover, the study does not indicate a role for Merkel cell polyomavirus in the genesis of colon cancer.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default"

(WBC) count is a common clinical measure from complete blood count assays, and it varies widely among healthy individuals. Total WBC count and its constituent subtypes have been shown to be moderately heritable, with the heritability estimates varying across cell types. We studied 19,509 subjects from seven cohorts in a discovery analysis, and 11,823 subjects from ten cohorts for replication analyses, to determine genetic factors influencing variability within the normal hematological range for total WBC count and five WBC subtype measures. Cohort specific data was supplied by the CHARGE, HeamGen, and INGI consortia, as well as independent collaborative studies. We identified and replicated ten associations with total WBC count and five WBC subtypes at seven different genomic loci (total WBC count-6p21 in the HLA region, 17q21 near ORMDL3, and CSF3; neutrophil count-17q21; basophil count- 3p21 near RPN1 and C3orf27; lymphocyte count-6p21, 19p13 at EPS15L1; monocyte count-2q31 at ITGA4, 3q21, 8q24 an intergenic region, 9q31 near EDG2), including three previously reported associations and seven novel associations. To investigate functional relationships among variants contributing to variability in the six WBC traits, we utilized gene expression- and pathways-based analyses. We implemented gene-clustering algorithms to evaluate functional connectivity among implicated loci and showed functional relationships across cell types. Gene expression data from whole blood was utilized to show that significant biological consequences can be extracted from our genome-wide analyses, with effect estimates for significant loci from the meta-analyses being highly corellated with the proximal gene expression. In addition, collaborative efforts between the groups contributing to this study and related studies conducted by the COGENT and RIKEN groups allowed for the examination of effect homogeneity for genome-wide significant associations across populations of diverse ancestral backgrounds.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21738480?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parentin, Fulvio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lepore, Loredana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rabach, Ingrid</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pensiero, Stefano</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paediatric Behçet's disease presenting with recurrent papillitis and episcleritis: a case report.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Med Case Rep</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Med Case Rep</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">81</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTRODUCTION: &lt;/b&gt;Behçet's disease is a chronic multisystem vasculitis characterized by mucocutaneous, articular, neurological, gastrointestinal and ophthalmological lesions. Ocular involvement is mainly represented by recurrent uveitis, especially posterior uveitis; however, iridocyclitis, retinal and choroidal vasculitis, optic neuritis and retinal vascular occlusion can also occur.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CASE PRESENTATION: &lt;/b&gt;A 12-year-old Caucasian boy with a history of recurrent buccal aphthosis and nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms was admitted to our hospital with blurred vision associated with acute episcleritis and papillitis. The patient's pathergy test was positive, suggesting a diagnosis of Behçet's disease. Corticosteroid and cyclosporine therapy was started, but further episodes were noted in both eyes. The patient was then switched to intravenous infliximab, with complete resolution of the inflammation after the second infusion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Episcleritis and papillitis should be added to the list of uncommon manifestations of pediatric Behçet's disease. Infliximab is an effective, new therapeutic approach for Behçet's disease that is refractory to the conventional corticosteroid and immunosuppressive therapy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21352523?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Mario, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spettoli, D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alessandrini, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Erenbourg, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Basevi, V</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Periodontal infection and preterm birth: successful periodontal therapy reduces the risk of preterm birth.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BJOG</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BJOG</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Periodontal Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy Complications, Infectious</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Premature Birth</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Randomized Controlled Trials as Topic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk Factors</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2011 Apr</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">118</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">635; author reply 635-6</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21392234?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bezzerri, Valentino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">d'Adamo, Pio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rimessi, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lanzara, Carmen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nicolis, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tamanini, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Athanasakis, Emmanouil</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tebon, Maela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bisoffi, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Drumm, Mitchell L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Knowles, Michael R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pinton, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berton, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cabrini, Giulio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phospholipase C-β3 is a key modulator of IL-8 expression in cystic fibrosis bronchial epithelial cells.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

An excessive neutrophilic inflammation, mainly orchestrated by the release of IL-8 from bronchial epithelial cells and amplified by chronic bacterial infection with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, leads to progressive tissue destruction. The anti-inflammatory drugs presently used in CF patients have several limitations, indicating the need for identifying novel molecular targets. To address this issue, we preliminarily studied the association of 721 single nucleotide polymorphisms from 135 genes potentially involved in signal transduction implicated in neutrophil recruitment in a cohort of F508del homozygous CF patients with either severe or mild progression of lung disease. The top ranking association was found for a nonsynonymous polymorphism of the phospholipase C-β3 (PLCB3) gene. Studies in bronchial epithelial cells exposed to P. aeruginosa revealed that PLCB3 is implicated in extracellular nucleotide-dependent intracellular calcium signaling, leading to activation of the protein kinase Cα and Cβ and of the nuclear transcription factor NF-κB p65. The proinflammatory pathway regulated by PLCB3 acts by potentiating the Toll-like Receptors' signaling cascade and represents an interesting molecular target to attenuate the excessive recruitment of neutrophils without completely abolishing the inflammatory response.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21411730?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, Ludovica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amato, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Athanasakis, Emmanouil</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bezzerri, Valentino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Braggion, Cesare</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Casciaro, Rosaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Castaldo, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Colombo, Carla</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Covone, Angela Elvira</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Rose, Virginia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gagliardini, Rolando</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lanzara, Carmen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minicucci, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morgutti, Marcello</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nicolis, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pardo, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quattrucci, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Raia, Valeria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ravazzolo, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seia, Manuela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stanzial, Valentino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Termini, Lisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zazzeron, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cabrini, Giulio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A polymorphism in the 5' UTR of the DEFB1 gene is associated with the lung phenotype in F508del homozygous Italian cystic fibrosis patients.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin Chem Lab Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin.

Thus, we attempted to replicate previous findings and verify the possible association between three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs c.-52G&gt;A, c.-44C&gt;G and c.-20G&gt;A) in the 5' untranslated region (5' UTR) of the β defensin 1 (DEFB1) gene and the CF pulmonary phenotype.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Genomic DNA from 92 Italian CF patients enrolled in different regional CF centres was extracted from peripheral blood and genotyped for DEFB1 SNPs using TaqMan(®) allele specific probes. In order to avoid genetic confounding causes that can account for CF phenotype variability, all patients were homozygous for the F508del CFTR mutation, and were then classified on the basis of clinical and functional data as mild lung phenotype (Mp, n=50) or severe lung phenotype patients (Sp, n=42).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;For the c.-20G&gt;A SNP, the frequency of the A allele, as well as the AA genotype, were significantly more frequent in Mp than in Sp patients, and thus this was associated with a protective effect against severe pulmonary disease (OR=0.48 and 0.28, respectively). The effect of the c.-20G&gt;A A allele is consistent with a recessive model, and the protective effect against Sp is exerted only when it is present in homozygosis. For the other two SNPs, no differences were observed as allelic and genotypic frequency in the two subgroups of CF patients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our results, although necessary to be confirmed in larger and multiethnic populations, reinforce DEFB1 as a candidate modifier gene of the CF pulmonary phenotype.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21077791?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Auriti, Cinzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fiscarelli, Ersilia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronchetti, Maria Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Argentieri, Marta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marrocco, Gabriella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quondamcarlo, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seganti, Giulio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bagnoli, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Buonocore, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Serra, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bacolla, Gianfranco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mastropasqua, Savino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mari, Annibale</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corchia, Carlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prencipe, Giusi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piersigilli, Fiammetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ravà, Lucilla</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Ciommo, Vincenzo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Procalcitonin in detecting neonatal nosocomial sepsis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch.

SETTING: Six neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). PATIENTS: 762 neonates admitted to six NICUs during a 28-month observational study for whom at least one serum sample was taken on admission. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Positive and negative predictive values at different PCT cut-off levels. RESULTS: The overall probability of an NS was doubled or more if PCT was &gt;0.5 ng/ml. In very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants, a cut-off of &gt;2.4 ng/ml gave a positive predictive value of NS near to 50% with a probability of a false-positive diagnosis of NS in about 10% of the patients. CONCLUSIONS: In VLBW neonates, a serum PCT value &gt;2.4 ng/ml prompts early empirical antibiotic therapy, while in normal-birth-weight infants, a PCT value ≤2.4 ng/ml carries a low risk of missing an NS.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21406453?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Floridia, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pinnetti, Carmela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ravizza, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tibaldi, Cecilia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sansone, Matilde</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fiscon, Marta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guaraldi, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guerra, Brunella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberico, Salvatore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spinillo, Arsenio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Castelli, Paula</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dalzero, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cavaliere, Anna Franca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tamburrini, Enrica</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italian Group on Surveillance on Antiretroviral Treatment in Pregnancy</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rubella susceptibility profile in pregnant women with HIV.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin Infect Dis</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin.

However, the persistence of infection in the lymphoid system is unknown. Fresh samples (n = 211) of tonsils, adenoids, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 83 immunocompetent children (mean age 4.8 years) were tested for amplification of the KIPyV VP1 and WUPyV VP2 genes. The known BK and JC polyomaviruses and the lymphotropic human herpesvirus (HHV)-6 were also investigated by quantitative real-time PCR and direct sequencing. In addition, 98 nasopharyngeal swabs collected from children (mean age 6.2 years) affected by seasonal influenza-like illness were tested. Of the lymphoid tissues, 34.9% were positive for WUPyV, 4.8% for BK virus, and 33.8% for HHV-6. KIPyV and JC virus were not detected in these specimens. None of the polyomaviruses were detected in PBMCs. Among the nasopharyngeal samples, the prevalence of WUPyV was 27.5%, although 70% of the positive samples were co-infected with at least one of the following respiratory viruses: influenza virus, adenovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus. Phylogenetic analysis revealed high sequence homology (99%) between lymphoid- and nasopharynx-derived WUPyV strains. These results suggest that the tonsils and adenoids of immunocompetent children are a reservoir for WUPyV infection; probably due to the respiratory route of transmission. In addition, the prevalence of WUPyV was high among the children, and the virus was identified more frequently in older children than during the first years of life.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

prospective international cohort of patients with juvenile dermatomyositis (DM).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;The study included 145 patients with recent-onset juvenile DM and 130 juvenile DM patients experiencing disease flare, all of whom were &lt;18 years old. Disease activity parameters and therapeutic approaches in 4 geographic areas were analyzed at baseline and at 6, 12, and 24 months. Response was assessed according to the Pediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organization (PRINTO) juvenile DM response criteria, and data were reported &quot;as observed&quot; and in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Patients with recent-onset juvenile DM at baseline had higher baseline disease activity and greater improvement over 24 months when compared to juvenile DM patients experiencing disease flare at baseline. Methotrexate (MTX) or high-dose corticosteroids were administered more frequently to patients with recent-onset juvenile DM, compared to juvenile DM patients experiencing disease flare, who were more likely to receive cyclosporine. Compared to patients from Western and Eastern Europe, a higher proportion of patients from South and Central America and North America received pulse steroids, and the average steroid dosage was higher in the North American and South and Central American patients. The use of MTX was similar in all 4 regions, while cyclosporin A was more frequently used in Western Europe. In the &quot;as observed&quot; analysis, 57.9% of the patients with recent-onset juvenile DM and 36.4% of the patients experiencing disease flare (P&lt;0.001) reached at least a 70% response by PRINTO criteria at 6 months; these proportions had increased at month 24 to 78.4% and 51.2%, respectively (P&lt;0.001). Corresponding results of the ITT analysis were much lower, with only one-third of the patients able to maintain the initial assigned therapy over 24 months.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Patients with recent-onset juvenile DM are more likely to achieve significant clinical improvement over 24 months, when compared to patients experiencing flares of juvenile DM. Internationally, various therapeutic approaches are used to treat this disease.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21647864?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corallini, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celeghini, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rimondi, Erika</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">di Iasio, Maria Grazia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gonelli, Arianna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Secchiero, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zauli, Giorgio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trail down-regulates the release of osteoprotegerin (OPG) by primary stromal cells.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Cell Physiol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Since MSC, fibroblasts and endothelial cells represent key elements of the normal and tumor microenvironment and express detectable levels of surface TRAIL receptors, we investigated the effect of TRAIL on OPG release. Unexpectedly, recombinant TRAIL decreased the spontaneous OPG release in all cell types examined. Moreover, TRAIL decreased OPG release also in stromal cells co-cultured with lymphoma cells and counteracted the OPG induction by TN-alpha in HUVEC and MSC. Such down-regulation was not due to a masking effect in the ELISA quantification of the OPG released in the culture supernatants due to binding of OPG to its ligands (TRAIL and RANKL), as demonstrated by competition experiments with recombinant TRAIL and by the lack of RANKL release/induction. In addition, OPG down-regulation was not due to induction of cytotoxic effects by TRAIL, since the degree of apoptosis in response to TRAIL was negligible in all primary cell types. With regards to the possible molecular mechanism accounting for the down-regulation of OPG release by TRAIL, we found that treatment of MSC with TRAIL significantly decreased the phosphorylation levels of p38/MAPK. There is a suggestion that this pathway is involved in the stabilization of OPG mRNA. In this respect, the ability of TRAIL to decrease the release of OPG, in the absence of cell cytotoxicity, was mimicked by the p38/MAPK inhibitor SB203580.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21660951?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sancilio, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Giacomo, V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quaglietta, A M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iacone, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Angelucci, D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tatasciore, U</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rana, R A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cataldi, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zauli, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Pietro, R</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">TRAIL promotes a pro-survival signal in erythropoietin-deprived human erythroblasts through the activation of an NF-kB/IkBalpha pathway.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Biol Regul Homeost Agents</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

In the presence of growth factors and serum, primary erythroblasts showed a differential expression of TRAIL-Receptors (Rs) at various degrees of maturation and responded to TRAIL treatment with a mild cytotoxicity. On the other hand, in the absence of serum and growth factors, TRAIL treatment unexpectedly up-regulated TRAIL-R4 decoy receptor and promoted erythroblast survival. The concomitant activation of NF-kB/IkB survival pathway was detected with Western blotting and immunofluorescence procedures and confirmed by experiments performed with SN50, a pharmacological inhibitor of the NF-kB/IkB pathway. Our study indicates that TRAIL has a twofold activity on erythroid lineages: it induces a mild erythroid cell cytotoxicity in the presence of serum and growth factors, while it promotes erythroid cell survival through the activation of the NF-kB/IkB pathway under starvation conditions.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default"

(JIA).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;In this phase III, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, subjects with active polyarticular course JIA and an inadequate response/intolerance to ≥1 disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (including biologics) received abatacept 10 mg/kg plus methotrexate (MTX) during the 4-month open-label period (period A). Subjects achieving the American College of Rheumatology Pediatric 30 criteria for improvement (defined &quot;responders&quot;) were randomized to abatacept or placebo (plus MTX) in the 6-month double-blind withdrawal period (period B). HRQOL assessments included 15 Child Health Questionnaire (CHQ) health concepts plus the physical (PhS) and psychosocial summary scores (PsS), pain (100-mm visual analog scale), the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire, and a daily activity participation questionnaire.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;A total of 190 subjects from period A and 122 from period B were eligible for analysis. In period A, there were substantial improvements across all of the CHQ domains (greatest improvement was in pain/discomfort) and the PhS (8.3 units) and PsS (4.3 units) with abatacept. At the end of period B, abatacept-treated subjects had greater improvements versus placebo in all domains (except behavior) and both summary scores. Similar improvement patterns were seen with pain and sleep. For participation in daily activities, an additional 2.6 school days/month and 2.3 parents' usual activity days/month were gained in period A responders with abatacept, and further gains were made in period B (1.9 versus 0.9 [P = 0.033] and 0.2 versus -1.3 [P = 0.109] school days/month and parents' usual activity days/month, respectively, in abatacept- versus placebo-treated subjects).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Improvements in HRQOL were observed with abatacept, providing real-life tangible benefits to children with JIA and their parents/caregivers.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20597110?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, Ludovica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guimarães, Rafael L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brandão, Lucas A C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rocha, Cintia R C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanin, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trevisiol, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Lima Filho, José Luiz</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beta defensin-1 gene (DEFB1) polymorphisms are not associated with atopic dermatitis in children and adolescents from northeast Brazil (Recife, Pernambuco).</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Dermatol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int.

In our study, we investigated the role of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at 5'-UTR of DEFB1 gene, encoding for the human beta defensin-1, on the susceptibility to develop AD in a group of Brazilian children and adolescents.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Three SNPs, -20 G/A (rs11362), -44 C/G (rs1800972), and -52 G/A (rs1799946) at 5'-UTR of DEFB1 gene were genotyped in two groups of children and adolescents, one affected by AD (96 subjects), the other healthy (191 individuals), from northeast Brazil.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;-44 C/G frequencies were comparable between the two groups. The -20 GG genotype was more frequent in AD subjects than in healthy controls; the -52 GG, conversely, was more frequent in healthy controls than in AD. However, both these differences did not reach statistical significance. Also, association between SNPs and AD severity has been shown. The analysis of DEFB1 haplotypes did not highlight any association of the three SNPs with AD development or disease severity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our results seem to exclude a role for the -44 C/G DEFB1 SNPs on the pathogenesis and severity of AD, while for the -20 C/G and -52 G/A, even if not statistically significant, we evidenced a slight trend for susceptibility (-20 GG) and protection (-52 GG) for the development of AD. However, as controversial findings have been reported in the literature, the role of DEFB1 in the development of AD and in the severity of the phenotype deserves further investigation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20618470?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Floridia, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tamburrini, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anzidei, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tibaldi, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Muggiasca, M L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guaraldi, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fiscon, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vimercati, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martinelli, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Donisi, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dalzero, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ravizza, M</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italian Group on Surveillance on Antiretroviral Treatment in Pregnancy</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Declining HCV seroprevalence in pregnant women with HIV.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epidemiol Infect</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epidemiol.

Based on 1240 pregnancies, we observed a 3.4-fold decline in HCV seroprevalence in pregnant women with HIV between 2001 (29.3%) and 2008 (8.6%). This decline was the net result of two components: a progressively declining HCV seroprevalence in non-African women (from 35.7% in 2001 to 16.7% in 2008), sustained by a parallel reduction in history of injecting drug use (IDU) in this population, and a significantly growing presence (from 21.2% in 2001 to 48.6% in 2008) of women of African origin, at very low risk of being HCV-infected [average HCV prevalence 1%, adjusted odds ratio (aOR) for HCV 0.09, 95% CI 0.03-0.29]. Previous IDU was the stronger determinant of HCV co-infection in pregnant women with HIV (aOR 30.9, 95% CI 18.8-51.1). The observed trend is expected to translate into a reduced number of cases of vertical HCV transmission.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20096149?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campello, Cesare</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comar, Manola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanotta, Nunzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minicozzi, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rodella, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poli, Albino</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Detection of SV40 in colon cancer: a molecular case-control study from northeast Italy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Med Virol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

From 2006 to 2008, 94 colon cancer patients (age: 37-90 years) and 91 subjects (age: 32-70 years) relatives of each index case were enrolled. A blood sample and a specimen of cancer tissue or biopsy were collected, from each patient or control, respectively. Samples were analyzed twice for Polyomavirus (i.e., SV40, JCV, and BKV) by PCR and by quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) with reproducible results. No BKV/JCV was detected either in normal or pathological tissues. SV40 was not present in control subjects, either normal tissue or in biopsies from adenomas or polyps. All blood samples were negative. Conversely, six adenocarcinoma specimens were positive for SV40 sequences (overall prevalence 6.4%, P = 0.03 in comparison with controls). Nevertheless, the SV40-associated colon cancer risk proved statistically not significant (OR = 3.91; P = 0.115) when adjusted for age. Quantitation of SV40 DNA performed by RT-qPCR showed a low viral load ranging from 6.2 x 10(1) to 9 x 10(3) copies per reaction. This molecular case-control survey showed, for the first time in fresh samples and by RT-qPCR, that SV40 can be detected in colon cancer tissue. However, the finding was not statistically significant when compared with a well-structured community control group. Thus, the role of SV40 and other polyomavirus in colon cancer genesis deserves further investigation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default"

mortality among neonates admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;To describe the epidemiology of nosocomial infections in NICUs and to assess the risk of nosocomial infection related to the therapeutic procedures performed and to the clinical characteristics of the neonates at birth and at admission to the NICU, taking into account the time between the exposure and the onset of infection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;A multicenter, prospective cohort study.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PATIENTS AND SETTING: &lt;/b&gt;A total of 1,692 neonates admitted to 6 NICUs in Italy were observed and monitored for the development of nosocomial infection during their hospital stay.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Data were collected on the clinical characteristics of the neonates admitted to the NICUs, their therapeutic interventions and treatments, their infections, and their mortality rate. The cumulative probability of having at least 1 infection and the cumulative probability of having at least 1 infection or dying were estimated. The hazard ratio (HR) for the first infection and the HR for the first infection or death were also estimated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;A total of 255 episodes of nosocomial infection were diagnosed in 217 neonates, yielding an incidence density of 6.9 episodes per 1,000 patient-days. The risk factors related to nosocomial infection in very-low-birth-weight neonates were receipt of continuous positive airway pressure (HR, 3.8 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.7-8.1]), a Clinical Risk Index for Babies score of 4 or greater (HR, 2.2 [95% CI, 1.4-3.4]), and a gestational age of less than 28 weeks (HR, 2.1 [95% CI, 1.2-3.8]). Among heavier neonates, the risk factors for nosocomial infection were receipt of parenteral nutrition (HR, 8.1 [95% CI, 3.2-20.5]) and presence of malformations (HR, 2.3 [95% CI, 1.5-3.5]).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Patterns of risk factors for nosocomial infection differ between very-low-birth-weight neonates and heavier neonates. Therapeutic procedures appear to be strong determinants of nosocomial infection in both groups of neonates, after controlling for clinical characteristics.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20645863?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Agaro, Pierlanfranco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dal Molin, Gianna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zamparo, Emanuela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rossi, Tatiana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Micuzzo, Michele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Busetti, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Santon, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campello, Cesare</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epidemiological and molecular assessment of a rubella outbreak in North-Eastern Italy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Med Virol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

The outbreak occurred initially in two residential homes for young adults disabled mentally and physically. Subsequently, the epidemic spread to the general population. Young adult cohorts were mostly affected and the mean age of the patients was 26.8 years; the majority of cases were male (73.8%), with a mean age of 26.6 years in males and 27.4 in females. Three pregnant women had a primary infection and two had their pregnancies terminated. Genotyping of 16 isolates showed the circulation of RUBV 2B, a genotype originating from Asia and South Africa and now present in Europe. In addition, molecular analysis revealed a well defined space-temporal spread of two viruses showing distinct sequences. A seroepidemiological survey carried out in a city within the same geographical area showed that the proportion of women of childbearing age still susceptible to rubella virus was 5.5%, fairly close to the figure (&lt;5%) expected by 2010.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20872726?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ruperto, Nicolino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ozen, Seza</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pistorio, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dolezalova, Pavla</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brogan, Paul</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cabral, David A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cuttica, Ruben</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Khubchandani, Raju</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lovell, Daniel J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">O'Neil, Kathleen M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quartier, Pierre</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ravelli, Angelo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iusan, Silvia M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Filocamo, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Magalhães, Claudia Saad</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Unsal, Erbil</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oliveira, Sheila</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bracaglia, Claudia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bagga, Arvind</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stanevicha, Valda</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Manzoni, Silvia Magni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pratsidou, Polyxeni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lepore, Loredana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Espada, Graciela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kone-Paut, Isabella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paut, Isabelle Kone</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zulian, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barone, Patrizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bircan, Zelal</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maldonado, Maria del Rocio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Russo, Ricardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vilca, Iris</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tullus, Kjell</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cimaz, Rolando</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Horneff, Gerd</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anton, Jordi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Garay, Stella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nielsen, Susan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbano, Giancarlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martini, Alberto</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organisation (PRINTO)</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">EULAR/PRINTO/PRES criteria for Henoch-Schönlein purpura, childhood polyarteritis nodosa, childhood Wegener granulomatosis and childhood Takayasu arteritis: Ankara 2008.

Step 1: retrospective/prospective web-data collection for HSP, c-PAN, c-WG and c-TA, with age at diagnosis &lt;or=18 years. Step 2: blinded classification by consensus panel of a subgroup of 280 cases (128 difficult cases, 152 randomly selected) enabling expert diagnostic verification. Step 3: Ankara 2008 Consensus Conference and statistical evaluation (sensitivity, specificity, area under the curve, kappa-agreement) using as 'gold standard' the final consensus classification or original treating physician diagnosis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;A total of 1183/1398 (85%) samples collected were available for analysis: 827 HSP, 150 c-PAN, 60 c-WG, 87 c-TA and 59 c-other. Prevalence, signs/symptoms, laboratory, biopsy and imaging reports were consistent with the clinical picture of the four c-vasculitides. A representative subgroup of 280 patients was blinded to the treating physician diagnosis and classified by a consensus panel, with a kappa-agreement of 0.96 for HSP (95% CI 0.84 to 1), 0.88 for c-WG (95% CI 0.76 to 0.99), 0.84 for c-TA (95% CI 0.73 to 0.96) and 0.73 for c-PAN (95% CI 0.62 to 0.84), with an overall kappa of 0.79 (95% CI 0.73 to 0.84).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;EULAR/PRINTO/PRES propose validated classification criteria for HSP, c-PAN, c-WG and c-TA, with substantial/almost perfect agreement with the final consensus classification or original treating physician diagnosis.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20388738?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campanini, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piralla, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rovida, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Puzelli, Simona</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Facchini, Marzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Locatelli, Franco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minoli, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Percivalle, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Donatelli, Isabella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baldanti, Fausto</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Surveillance Group for New Influenza A/H1N1v Investigation in Italy</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">First case in Italy of acquired resistance to oseltamivir in an immunocompromised patient with influenza A/H1N1v infection.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Clin Virol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

At baseline, no drug-resistant virus was found, while 4 days after treatment initiation a mixture of wild-type and mutated virus was detected. After treatment interruption, the wild type influenza virus re-emerged and became prevalent in nasal secretions after a few days, suggesting the lower fitness of the mutated virus strain.

Both treated and untreated patients were routinely followed according to standard of care. The Child Health Questionnaire (CHQ-PF 50) was used to assess the health-related quality of life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The mean duration of follow-up was 37.5 months. In all treated patients, a complete and persistent control of the inflammatory manifestations was observed with no further progression of the disease. At enrollment in the registry, patients showed a poorer health-related quality of life than healthy children in both physical and the psychosocial summary scores. Treatment was associated with a dramatic and sustained amelioration of a variety of measures of poor quality of life, particularly in those concerning the global health perception, bodily pain-discomfort, and other physical domains.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Long-term IL-1 blockade produces a significant and persistent improvement in the clinical manifestations associated with the disease and on the overall quality of life.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20472245?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberico, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Businelli, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wiesenfeld, U</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Erenbourg, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maso, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piccoli, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, L</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gestational diabetes and fetal growth acceleration: induction of labour versus expectant management.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minerva Ginecol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minerva Ginecol</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Body Mass Index</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cesarean Section</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diabetes, Gestational</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Elective Surgical Procedures</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fetal Development</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fetal Macrosomia</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gestational Age</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Incidence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant, Newborn</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Labor, Induced</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Medical Records</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Obesity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy Outcome</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retrospective Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Statistics, Nonparametric</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Watchful Waiting</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010 Dec</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">62</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">533-9</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AIM: &lt;/b&gt;The aim of the study was to compare elective induction of labour at 38 weeks versus expectant management in A1 and A2 gestational diabetes (GDM) pregnancies with fetal growth acceleration. Primary outcome of the study was C-section (CS) rate, while secondary outcomes were macrosomia incidence and adverse perinatal outcomes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A retrospective cohort study was carried out. Data were collected between 1996 and 2006 and evaluated through patients' records analysis. Differences between the two study groups were investigated using non-parametric tests for continuous variables and χ2 test for categorical ones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;There was no significant difference between induction and expectant management in terms of caesarean section rate. A trend favoring women in the induction group in terms of incidence of macrosomia and neonatal outcomes was identified, but results were not statistically significant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Labour induction at 38 weeks in GDM patients with fetal growth acceleration does not seem to determine an increased incidence of C-section in comparison to expectant management, particularly in case of maternal obesity.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style

(IFD) in children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are scarce.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;In a multi-center, retrospective study, we analyzed proportion, rate per 1,000 person-days at risk, and cumulative risk of bacteremias and IFD in children with AML.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Between January 1998 and December 2005, 240 children were treated for AML at 8 Italian Centers, for a total of 521 treatment courses and 63,232 person-days at risk. Bacteremia was observed in 32% of treatment courses and IFD was seen in 10% (P &lt; 0.0001), with rates of 2.62 and 0.84, respectively (P &lt; 0.001). There was a significantly higher frequency of IFD during relapse treatment: proportion 15% versus 9% (P = 0.05), rate 2.10 versus 0.64 (P = 0.008) and cumulative risk 32% versus 12% (P = 0.007), while there were no differences in the proportion, rate and cumulative risk of bacteremia during front-line or relapse treatment. The epidemiology of bacteremias and IFD was different during front-line therapy for M3 as compared to other types of AML, but the differences were not statistically significant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Severe infectious complications are frequent during the treatment of pediatric AML, especially during relapse treatment, and bacteremias are more frequent than IFD.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20680968?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bembi, Bruno</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pisa, Federica Edith</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Confalonieri, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ciana, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fiumara, Agata</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parini, Rossella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rigoldi, Miriam</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moglia, Arrigo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Costa, Alfredo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carlucci, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Danesino, Cesare</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pittis, Maria Gabriela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dardis, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ravaglia, Sabrina</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Long-term observational, non-randomized study of enzyme replacement therapy in late-onset glycogenosis type II.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Inherit Metab Dis</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with human recombinant alpha-glucosidase (rhGAA) has been demonstrated to be effective in the treatment of infantile forms of GSDII, but little information is available concerning late-onset phenotypes. Long-term follow-up studies are not available at present. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ERT long-term effects in late-onset GSDII.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Twenty-four patients, including 7 juveniles and 17 adults, received bi-weekly infusion of rhGAA (20 mg/kg) for at least 36 months. Clinical conditions, muscular function (6-min walking test, 6MWT; Walton scale, WS), respiratory function (vital capacity, VC; forced expiratory volume, FEV1; arterial pCO(2)), and muscle enzymes were assessed every 6 months.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The 6MWT improved in both juvenile and adult patients (p = 0.01, p = 0.0002, respectively), as well as in patients with moderate to severe muscle function impairment (WS &gt;3.5; p = 0.002). An overall improvement in WS was also observed (p = 0.0003). VC and FEV1 remained unchanged, while pCO(2) decreased (p = 0.017). Muscle enzymes decreased significantly (p &lt; 0.0001). Two patients (8%) showed transient secondary events during ERT.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Long-term ERT with rhGAA was shown to be safe, well tolerated, and effective in improving motor function and in stabilizing respiratory function in late-onset GSDII. The response pattern showed a progressive clinical improvement during the follow-up period in juvenile patients, while in adults it reached and maintained a plateau after the first year of treatment.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20838899?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bulla, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Seta, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radillo, O</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agostinis, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Durigutto, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pellis, V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Santo, D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tedesco, F</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mannose-binding lectin is produced by vaginal epithelial cells and its level in the vaginal fluid is influenced by progesterone.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol.

MBL has been detected in the cervico-vaginal cavity where it can provide a first-line defence against infectious agents colonizing the lower tract of the reproductive system. Analysis of the cervico-vaginal lavage (CVL) obtained from 11 normal cycling women at different phases of the menstrual cycle revealed increased levels of MBL in the secretive phase. Part of this MBL derives from the circulation as indicated by the presence of transferrin in CVL tested as a marker of vascular and tissue permeability. The local synthesis of MBL is suggested by the finding that its level is substantially higher than that of transferrin in the secretive phase. The contribution of endometrium is negligible since the MBL level did not change before and after hysterectomy. RT-PCR and in situ RT-PCR analysis showed that the vaginal tissue, and in particular the basal layer of the epithelium, is a source of MBL which binds to the basal membrane and to cells of the outer layers of the epithelium. In conclusion, we have shown that MBL detected in CVL derives both from plasma as result of transudation and from local synthesis and its level is progesterone dependent increasing in the secretive phase of the menstrual cycle.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

&lt;/b&gt;Novel therapies have improved the remission rate in chronic inflammatory disorders including juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Therefore, strategies of tapering therapy and reliable parameters for detecting subclinical inflammation have now become challenging questions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVES: &lt;/b&gt;To analyze whether longer methotrexate treatment during remission of JIA prevents flares after withdrawal of medication and whether specific biomarkers identify patients at risk for flares.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS: &lt;/b&gt;Prospective, open, multicenter, medication-withdrawal randomized clinical trial including 364 patients (median age, 11.0 years) with JIA recruited in 61 centers from 29 countries between February 2005 and June 2006. Patients were included at first confirmation of clinical remission while continuing medication. At the time of therapy withdrawal, levels of the phagocyte activation marker myeloid-related proteins 8 and 14 heterocomplex (MRP8/14) were determined.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERVENTION: &lt;/b&gt;Patients were randomly assigned to continue with methotrexate therapy for either 6 months (group 1 [n = 183]) or 12 months (group 2 [n = 181]) after induction of disease remission.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: &lt;/b&gt;Primary outcome was relapse rate in the 2 treatment groups; secondary outcome was time to relapse. In a prespecified cohort analysis, the prognostic accuracy of MRP8/14 concentrations for the risk of flares was assessed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Intention-to-treat analysis of the primary outcome revealed relapse within 24 months after the inclusion into the study in 98 of 183 patients (relapse rate, 56.7%) in group 1 and 94 of 181 (55.6%) in group 2. The odds ratio for group 1 vs group 2 was 1.02 (95% CI, 0.82-1.27; P = .86). The median relapse-free interval after inclusion was 21.0 months in group 1 and 23.0 months in group 2. The hazard ratio for group 1 vs group 2 was 1.07 (95% CI, 0.82-1.41; P = .61). Median follow-up duration after inclusion was 34.2 and 34.3 months in groups 1 and 2, respectively. Levels of MRP8/14 during remission were significantly higher in patients who subsequently developed flares (median, 715 [IQR, 320-1 110] ng/mL) compared with patients maintaining stable remission (400 [IQR, 220-800] ng/mL; P = .003). Low MRP8/14 levels indicated a low risk of flares within the next 3 months following the biomarker test (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.62-0.90).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;In patients with JIA in remission, a 12-month vs 6-month withdrawal of methotrexate did not reduce the relapse rate. Higher MRP8/14 concentrations were associated with risk of relapse after discontinuing methotrexate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;TRIAL REGISTRATION: &lt;/b&gt;isrctn.org Identifier: ISRCTN18186313.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20371785?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Robbiano, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Frecer, Vladimir</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miertus, Jan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zadro, Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ulivi, Sheila</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bevilacqua, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mandrile, Giorgia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Marchi, Mario</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miertus, Stanislav</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amoroso, Antonio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Modeling the effect of 3 missense AGXT mutations on dimerization of the AGT enzyme in primary hyperoxaluria type 1.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Nephrol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Here we report a molecular modeling study of selected missense AGXT mutations: the common Gly170Arg and the recently described Gly47Arg and Ser81Leu variants, predicted to be pathogenic using standard criteria.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Taking advantage of the refined 3D structure of AGT, we computed the dimerization energy of the wild-type and mutated proteins.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Molecular modeling predicted that Gly47Arg affects dimerization with a similar effect to that shown previously for Gly170Arg through classical biochemical approaches. In contrast, no effect on dimerization was predicted for Ser81Leu. Therefore, this probably demonstrates pathogenic properties via a different mechanism, similar to that described for the adjacent Gly82Glu mutation that affects pyridoxine binding.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;This study shows that the molecular modeling approach can contribute to evaluating the pathogenicity of some missense variants that affect dimerization. However, in silico studies--aimed to assess the relationship between structural change and biological effects--require the integrated use of more than 1 tool.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style

With multivariate logistic regression analysis, the most important determinants of ACR-ped 70 non-responders were: disease duration &gt; 1.3 years (OR 1.93), ANA negativity (OR 1.77), Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ) disability index &gt; 1.125 (OR 1.65) and the presence of right and left wrist activity (OR 1.55). Predictors of ACR-ped 30 non-responders were: ANA negativity (OR 1.92), CHAQ disability index &gt; 1.14 (OR 2.18) and a parent's evaluation of child's overall well-being &lt; or = 4.69 (OR 2.2).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;The subgroup of patients with longer disease duration, ANA negativity, higher disability and presence of wrist activity were significantly associated with a poorer response to a 6-month MTX course.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20525842?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Erenbourg, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wiesenfeld, Uri</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk of preterm delivery in relation to maternal use of psychotropic medications during pregnancy: methodological issues.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Obstet Gynecol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am.

We identified pathogenetic GJB2 mutations in 51 cases (15% of patients). No GJB6 mutation was found.

In addition to the known loci at LIN28B (P = 5.4 × 10⁻⁶⁰) and 9q31.2 (P = 2.2 × 10⁻³³), we identified 30 new menarche loci (all P &lt; 5 × 10⁻⁸) and found suggestive evidence for a further 10 loci (P &lt; 1.9 × 10⁻⁶). The new loci included four previously associated with body mass index (in or near FTO, SEC16B, TRA2B and TMEM18), three in or near other genes implicated in energy homeostasis (BSX, CRTC1 and MCHR2) and three in or near genes implicated in hormonal regulation (INHBA, PCSK2 and RXRG). Ingenuity and gene-set enrichment pathway analyses identified coenzyme A and fatty acid biosynthesis as biological processes related to menarche timing.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21102462?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Puzelli, Simona</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Facchini, Marzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spagnolo, Domenico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Marco, Maria A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calzoletti, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanetti, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fumagalli, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tanzi, Maria L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cassone, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rezza, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Donatelli, Isabella</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Surveillance Group for Pandemic A H1N1 2009 Influenza Virus in Italy</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transmission of hemagglutinin D222G mutant strain of pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Emerg Infect Dis</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Emerging Infect.

There are two kinds of TPN: short-term TPN may be used when a patient's digestive system is temporarily nonfunctional because of an interruption in its continuity; long-term TPN is used to treat patients with an impairment or a lack in nutrient absorption. TPN has extended the life of children born with nonexistent or severely deformed digestive organs and is a vital support for these patients. In Burlos Pediatric Department, pediatricians fill in a pharmacy request form in which nutritional needs are included for each patient. Subsequently, clinical pharmacists evaluate the patients individual data and decide which TPN formula to prepare. To enhance the TPN prescription process, an intranet web-based system has been developed to replicate the original paper-based forms. The software, developed in PHP and based on open source tools and services, has been constructed according to pharmacists requirements. These professionals, together with the Hospital Information System technicians, thanks to the availability of affordable instruments, perceive the advantages that such a system would have in improving clinical practice and quality of care. The system was devised with the goal to avoid common reading errors, to improve the correct text comprehension, to ensure prescription preparation, administration and tracking. According to a process of total quality control, the system reduces clinical risks regarding issues such as the correct and rapid availability of medical prescriptions and the incorrect identification of the patients. In comparison with paper-based TPN prescriptions, electronic-based forms have reduced the incidence of errors, the possible lack of patient data and reading misunderstandings. Regarding future improvements, IT technicians are defining the procedures to implement digital signature and medical aspects of the electronic TPN medical prescriptions.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20467108?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record></records></xml>
