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%">Conversano, Ester</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cozzi, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poropat, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Mascio, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salis, Simona</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grasso, Domenico Leonardo</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 painful vesicular otitis and vertigo.</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%">2019</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019 Apr</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">104</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">103-105</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/29440126?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Zoia, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biancotto, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guicciardi, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lecis, Romina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lucidi, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pelamatti, Giovanna M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carrozzi, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Skabar, Aldo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sugden, David A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barnett, Anna L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Henderson, Sheila E</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">An evaluation of the Movement ABC-2 Test for use in Italy: A comparison of data from Italy and the UK.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Res Dev Disabil</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Res Dev Disabil</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 Jan</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">84</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">43-56</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 standardized test within the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2nd edition (MABC-2) is used worldwide to assess motor problems in children. Ideally, any country using a test developed in another country should produce national norms to ensure that it functions effectively in the new context.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AIM: &lt;/b&gt;The first objective of this study was to explore the differences in motor performance between Italian and British children. The second was to examine the structural validity of the test for the Italian sample.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHOD: &lt;/b&gt;A total of 718 Italian (IT) and 765 British (UK) children, aged 3-10 years, were individually tested on the age-appropriate items of the MABC-2 Test.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Developmental trends emerged on every task and differences between IT and UK children were obtained on 11 of 27 task comparisons. Interactions between age and country indicated that differences were not consistently in favor of one culture. Confirmatory factor analysis generally supported the proposed structure of the MABC-2 Test.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Although the differences between the IT and the UK children were relatively few, those that did emerge emphasize the need for population specific norms and suggest that cultural diversity in motor experiences should be considered when evaluating motor abilities in children.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29716782?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Cozzi, Giorgio</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%">Facing somatic symptom disorder in the emergency department.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Paediatr Child Health</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Paediatr Child Health</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 Jan</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">55</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7-9</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Somatic symptom disorder is a condition in which a patient's subjective report of physical symptoms is associated with distress; disruption of day-to-day functioning; or disproportionate thoughts, feelings and behaviours regarding the symptoms, whether or not they are associated with an identified medical condition. While somatic symptom disorder affects a considerable proportion of children and adolescents presenting to the emergency department (ED), it has not been well investigated in the ED literature, nor is there much formal training in, or guidelines for, how to care for affected patients in the ED. The aim of this paper is to highlight the historical clues commonly reported by these patients in order to try to help the emergency physicians recognise patients affected by a somatic symptom disorder. Adolescent age, the presence of daily subjective symptoms presenting daily for weeks or months, a long medical history record, an extensive diagnostic workup and, most of all, disproportionate functional impairment related to the symptoms are all features strongly suggestive of this disorder. Emergency physicians should become used to taking advantage of these clues to formulate a positive diagnosis of somatic symptom disorder according to the most recent diagnostic criteria. Emergency physicians have the unique opportunity to contribute to the correct diagnosis and treatment of these patients and to have a positive impact on their prognosis.&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/30288831?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberici, I</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">La Manna, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pennesi, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Starc, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scozzola, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nicolini, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toffolo, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marra, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chimenz, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sica, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maringhini, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montini, G</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">First urinary tract infections in children: the role of the risk factors proposed by the Italian recommendations.</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%">2019</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019 Mar</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">108</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">544-550</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 2009, the Italian society for paediatric nephrology suggested the need for cystography, following a first febrile urinary tract infection (UTI), only in children at high risk for dilating vesicoureteral reflux or in the event of a second infection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the adequacy of the risk factors proposed by the Italian guidelines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Children aged 2-36 months, managed by 10 Italian hospitals between 2009 and 2013, with a first febrile UTI were retrospectively evaluated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Four hundred and fourteen children were included: 51% female, mean age eight months. Escherichia coli was responsible of 84% UTIs. 269 children (65%) presented at least one risk factor, thus were further investigated: 44% had a reflux. The presence of a pathogen other than E. coli significantly predicted high-grade reflux, both in the univariate (Odd Ratio 2.52, 95% Confidence Interval 1.32-4.81, p &lt; 0.005) and multivariate analysis (OR 2.74, 95% CI: 1.39-5.41, p: 0.003). 26/145 children (18%) with no risk factors experienced a second UTI, which prompted the execution of cystography, showing a dilating reflux in 11.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Among the risk factors proposed by the Italian guidelines, only the presence of a pathogen other than E. coli significantly predicted reflux. Cystography can be postponed in children with no risk factors.&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/30028535?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Delfino, Riccarda</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biasotto, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Candido, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Altissimo, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stebel, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salomè, Murielle</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">van Elteren, Johannes T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vogel Mikuš, Katarina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zennaro, Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Šala, Martin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Addobbati, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tromba, Giuliana</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%">Gadolinium tissue deposition in the periodontal ligament of mice with reduced renal function exposed to Gd-based contrast agents.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toxicol Lett</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toxicol.

It is suggested that the GBCAs prolonged permanence in blood in these patients may result in a Gd precipitation in peripheral or central organs, where it initiates a fibrotic process. In this study we investigated new sites of retention/precipitation of Gd in a mouse model of renal disease (5/6 nephrectomy) receiving two doses (closely after each other) of a linear GBCA. Two commercial GBCAs (Omniscan® and Magnevist®) were administered at doses slightly higher than those used in clinical practice (0.7 mmol/kg body weight, each). The animals were sacrificed one month after the last administration and the explanted organs (kidney, liver, femur, dorsal skin, teeth) were analysed by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) at two synchrotron facilities. The XRF analysis with a millimetre-sized beam at the SYRMEP beamline (Elettra, Italy) produced no detectable levels of Gd in the examined tissues, with the notable exception of the incisors of the nephrectomised mice. The XRF analyses at sub-micron resolution performed at ID21 (ESRF, France) allowed to clearly localize Gd in the periodontal ligaments of teeth both from Omniscan® and Magnevist® treated nephrectomised mice. The latter results were further confirmed by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). The study prompts that prolonged permanence of GBCAs in blood may result in Gd retention in this particular muscular tissue, opening possibilities for diagnostic applications at this level when investigating Gd-related toxicities.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30476537?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GBD 2016 Traumatic Brain Injury and Spinal Cord Injury Collaborators</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Global, regional, and national burden of traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury, 1990-2016: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet Neurol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet Neurol</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 Jan</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">56-87</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injury (SCI) are increasingly recognised as global health priorities in view of the preventability of most injuries and the complex and expensive medical care they necessitate. We aimed to measure the incidence, prevalence, and years of life lived with disability (YLDs) for TBI and SCI from all causes of injury in every country, to describe how these measures have changed between 1990 and 2016, and to estimate the proportion of TBI and SCI cases caused by different types of injury.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We used results from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors (GBD) Study 2016 to measure the global, regional, and national burden of TBI and SCI by age and sex. We measured the incidence and prevalence of all causes of injury requiring medical care in inpatient and outpatient records, literature studies, and survey data. By use of clinical record data, we estimated the proportion of each cause of injury that required medical care that would result in TBI or SCI being considered as the nature of injury. We used literature studies to establish standardised mortality ratios and applied differential equations to convert incidence to prevalence of long-term disability. Finally, we applied GBD disability weights to calculate YLDs. We used a Bayesian meta-regression tool for epidemiological modelling, used cause-specific mortality rates for non-fatal estimation, and adjusted our results for disability experienced with comorbid conditions. We also analysed results on the basis of the Socio-demographic Index, a compound measure of income per capita, education, and fertility.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;In 2016, there were 27·08 million (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 24·30-30·30 million) new cases of TBI and 0·93 million (0·78-1·16 million) new cases of SCI, with age-standardised incidence rates of 369 (331-412) per 100 000 population for TBI and 13 (11-16) per 100 000 for SCI. In 2016, the number of prevalent cases of TBI was 55·50 million (53·40-57·62 million) and of SCI was 27·04 million (24·98-30·15 million). From 1990 to 2016, the age-standardised prevalence of TBI increased by 8·4% (95% UI 7·7 to 9·2), whereas that of SCI did not change significantly (-0·2% [-2·1 to 2·7]). Age-standardised incidence rates increased by 3·6% (1·8 to 5·5) for TBI, but did not change significantly for SCI (-3·6% [-7·4 to 4·0]). TBI caused 8·1 million (95% UI 6·0-10·4 million) YLDs and SCI caused 9·5 million (6·7-12·4 million) YLDs in 2016, corresponding to age-standardised rates of 111 (82-141) per 100 000 for TBI and 130 (90-170) per 100 000 for SCI. Falls and road injuries were the leading causes of new cases of TBI and SCI in most regions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERPRETATION: &lt;/b&gt;TBI and SCI constitute a considerable portion of the global injury burden and are caused primarily by falls and road injuries. The increase in incidence of TBI over time might continue in view of increases in population density, population ageing, and increasing use of motor vehicles, motorcycles, and bicycles. The number of individuals living with SCI is expected to increase in view of population growth, which is concerning because of the specialised care that people with SCI can require. Our study was limited by data sparsity in some regions, and it will be important to invest greater resources in collection of data for TBI and SCI to improve the accuracy of future assessments.&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%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30497965?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Marconi, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Buduo, Christian A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LeVine, Kellie</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barozzi, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faleschini, Michela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bozzi, Valeria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Palombo, Flavia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">McKinstry, Spencer</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lassandro, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giordano, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Noris, Patrizia</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><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Balduini, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pippucci, Tommaso</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seri, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Katsanis, Nicholas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecci, Alessandro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Loss-of-function mutations in  cause a new form of inherited thrombocytopenia.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blood</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blood</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 Mar 21</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">133</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1346-1357</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Inherited thrombocytopenias (ITs) are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by low platelet count that may result in bleeding tendency. Despite progress being made in defining the genetic causes of ITs, nearly 50% of patients with familial thrombocytopenia are affected with forms of unknown origin. Here, through exome sequencing of 2 siblings with autosomal-recessive thrombocytopenia, we identified biallelic loss-of-function variants in  This gene encodes for a receptor-like PTP, PTPRJ (or CD148), which is expressed abundantly in platelets and megakaryocytes. Consistent with the predicted effects of the variants, both probands have an almost complete loss of PTPRJ at the messenger RNA and protein levels. To investigate the pathogenic role of PTPRJ deficiency in hematopoiesis in vivo, we carried out CRISPR/Cas9-mediated ablation of  (the ortholog of human ) in zebrafish, which induced a significantly decreased number of CD41 thrombocytes in vivo. Moreover, megakaryocytes of our patients showed impaired maturation and profound defects in SDF1-driven migration and formation of proplatelets in vitro. Silencing of  in a human megakaryocytic cell line reproduced the functional defects observed in patients' megakaryocytes. The disorder caused by  mutations presented as a nonsyndromic thrombocytopenia characterized by spontaneous bleeding, small-sized platelets, and impaired platelet responses to the GPVI agonists collagen and convulxin. These platelet functional defects could be attributed to reduced activation of Src family kinases. Taken together, our data identify a new form of IT and highlight a hitherto unknown fundamental role for PTPRJ in platelet biogenesis.&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/30591527?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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. Moreover, the heterozygous/homozygous genotype appeared to predict the onset of clinical manifestation and disease progression.&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/30098094?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bobbo, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amoroso, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tamaro, Gianluca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gesuete, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'agata Mottolese, Biancamaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</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%">Retrospective study showed that palpitations with tachycardia on admission to a paediatric emergency department were related to cardiac arrhythmias.</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%">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%">108</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">328-332</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;This retrospective study reviewed the prevalence and long-term prognosis of children aged 0-18 with palpitations who were admitted to the emergency department (ED) of an Italian paediatric hospital.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We examined all admissions to the ED of the IRCCS Burlo Garofolo between January 2009 and December 2015 by selecting triage diagnoses of palpitations. The hospital discharge cards were reviewed to assess vital parameters, physical examinations, diagnostic tests, cardiology consultations and final diagnoses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Of the 142 803 patients who attended our ED for any reason, 96 (0.07%) complained of palpitations. Despite this low prevalence, it was noteworthy that 13.5% had a real underlying arrhythmic cause and needed medical assistance. Over half (52.1%) were women and the mean age was 12.7 years. At the long-term follow-up, at a mean of 47 ± 23 months, 53.8% of patients with a cardiac arrhythmia had received medical therapy and 46.1% had undergone trans-catheter ablation for supraventricular tachycardia. A heart rate above 146 beats per minute or palpitations for more than an hour was statistically related to a cardiac arrhythmia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Palpitations were an infrequent cause of admission to our ED, but 13.5% who displayed them had an underlying cardiac arrhythmia.&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/29972706?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Da Lozzo, Prisca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Magnolato, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Del Rizzo, Irene</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sirchia, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bruno, Irene</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%">When Long-Lasting Food Selectivity Leads to an Unusual Genetic Diagnosis: A Case Report.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Adolesc Health</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Adolesc Health</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 Jan</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">64</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">137-138</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Hereditary fructose intolerance is an autosomal recessive disorder of fructose metabolism caused by catalytic deficiency of aldolase B enzyme [1]. The disease is typically expressed when fructose- and sucrose-containing foods are first introduced in the diet; acute manifestations include nausea, vomiting, abdominal distress, and symptomatic hypoglycemia [1,2]. Chronic fructose ingestion eventually leads to poor feeding, growth retardation and gradual liver and/or renal failure [3,4]. Some patients may remain undiagnosed until adulthood because of a self-protective avoidance of sweet tasting food that prevents the development of acute toxicity from fructose containing food; however, these subjects may suffer intermittent symptoms throughout life, leading to potentially serious misdiagnosis [4]. We report the case of a patient with unrecognized hereditary fructose intolerance in which chronic gastrointestinal complaints, low body weight, and unexplained food avoidance were addressed as manifestations of an eating disorder during adolescence.&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/30327278?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anfuso, Beatrice</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">El-Khobar, Korri E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ie, Susan I</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Avellini, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radillo, Oriano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Raseni, Alan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tiribelli, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sukowati, Caecilia H C</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Activation of hepatic stem cells compartment during hepatocarcinogenesis in a HBsAg HBV-transgenic mouse model.</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%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018 Sep 03</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13168</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Chronic infection of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) is one of the highest risk factors of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The accumulation of HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) into hepatocytes induces inflammation and oxidative stress, impairing their replicative ability and allowing the activation of the hepatic stem cells (SC) compartment. 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%">Amoroso, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scarpa, Maria-Grazia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poropat, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giorgi, Rita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Murru, Flora Maria</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%">Acute small bowel obstruction in a child with a strict raw vegan diet.</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.

size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Alcohol use is a leading risk factor for death and disability, but its overall association with health remains complex given the possible protective effects of moderate alcohol consumption on some conditions. With our comprehensive approach to health accounting within the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016, we generated improved estimates of alcohol use and alcohol-attributable deaths and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) for 195 locations from 1990 to 2016, for both sexes and for 5-year age groups between the ages of 15 years and 95 years and older.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Using 694 data sources of individual and population-level alcohol consumption, along with 592 prospective and retrospective studies on the risk of alcohol use, we produced estimates of the prevalence of current drinking, abstention, the distribution of alcohol consumption among current drinkers in standard drinks daily (defined as 10 g of pure ethyl alcohol), and alcohol-attributable deaths and DALYs. We made several methodological improvements compared with previous estimates: first, we adjusted alcohol sales estimates to take into account tourist and unrecorded consumption; second, we did a new meta-analysis of relative risks for 23 health outcomes associated with alcohol use; and third, we developed a new method to quantify the level of alcohol consumption that minimises the overall risk to individual health.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;Globally, alcohol use was the seventh leading risk factor for both deaths and DALYs in 2016, accounting for 2·2% (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 1·5-3·0) of age-standardised female deaths and 6·8% (5·8-8·0) of age-standardised male deaths. Among the population aged 15-49 years, alcohol use was the leading risk factor globally in 2016, with 3·8% (95% UI 3·2-4·3) of female deaths and 12·2% (10·8-13·6) of male deaths attributable to alcohol use. For the population aged 15-49 years, female attributable DALYs were 2·3% (95% UI 2·0-2·6) and male attributable DALYs were 8·9% (7·8-9·9). The three leading causes of attributable deaths in this age group were tuberculosis (1·4% [95% UI 1·0-1·7] of total deaths), road injuries (1·2% [0·7-1·9]), and self-harm (1·1% [0·6-1·5]). For populations aged 50 years and older, cancers accounted for a large proportion of total alcohol-attributable deaths in 2016, constituting 27·1% (95% UI 21·2-33·3) of total alcohol-attributable female deaths and 18·9% (15·3-22·6) of male deaths. The level of alcohol consumption that minimised harm across health outcomes was zero (95% UI 0·0-0·8) standard drinks per week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERPRETATION: &lt;/b&gt;Alcohol use is a leading risk factor for global disease burden and causes substantial health loss. We found that the risk of all-cause mortality, and of cancers specifically, rises with increasing levels of consumption, and the level of consumption that minimises health loss is zero.

So, we analyzed the effect of ALD treatment in glial cells, the main sources of cholesterol for neurons and principal cells involved in the immunological defense of the brain. We treated a glial cell line (U87-MG) with increasing doses of ALD (0.1, 1, 10, 25, 50 μM) for 48 h, aimed at evaluating the influence of this drug treatment on IL-1B expression, NLRP3 and CASP1 expression, mitochondrial activity and apoptotic cell death. We observed that ALD treatment, at the higher concentrations, induced a significant increase of IL-1B, NLRP3, CASP1 expression, provoked apoptosis and also mitochondrial damage in U87-MG. Considering the reported CNS adverse outcomes of NBPs treatment, our results confirm ALD side-effects on glial cell model.&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/28646347?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Longo, Giorgio</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></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anaphylaxis in atypical cold urticaria: case report and review of literature.</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%">Anaphylaxis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cold Temperature</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%">Swimming</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Urticaria</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 Nov 13</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">44</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">135</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;Cold-induced urticaria is a kind of physical urticaria characterized by the appearance of wheals after exposure to cold. The atypical form is a rare sub-type characterized by appearance of hives even in areas not directly exposed to the cold and by a negative cold stimulation test. Its diagnosis is often challenging because of the lack of specific tests and it is usually based on the patient's clinical history. Hypotension due to generalized exposure to the cold is described both in the typical and the atypical forms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CASE PRESENTATION: &lt;/b&gt;We describe a 9-year-old boy who, at the beginning of the summer after the first swim in the sea, developed generalized urticaria, dyspnea, conjunctival hyperemia, blurred vision and loss of strength. The child was treated with intramuscular steroid and intravenous antihistamine, and the symptoms quickly resolved. Insect bite, contact with fish and drug ingestion were denied, and no unusual food had been eaten before the swim. A tentative diagnosis was made of either aquagenic urticaria or cold urticaria, but the specific tests were negative. Although the cause was unknown, prophylactic treatment with antihistamines was prescribed but in spite of this, wheals developed all over the body, after every swim in the sea. The child then came to our attention and relying on clinical history a diagnosis of atypical cold urticaria was made: development of hives even in areas not directly exposed to cold and a negative response to the cold stimulation test, are the characteristic features of this rare form of cold urticaria.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Atypical cold urticaria should be suspected in all cases of anaphylaxis related to cold exposure (i.e. contact with water) with a negative cold stimulation test.&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/30424814?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cason, Carolina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanotta, Nunzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campisciano, Giuseppina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maestri, Iva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasino, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pawlita, Michael</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Villani, Sonia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comar, Manola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Delbue, Serena</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antibody response to polyomavirus primary infection: high seroprevalence of Merkel cell polyomavirus and lymphoid tissue involvement.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Neurovirol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Few studies have focused on the pediatric population, and there are no reports regarding the seroprevalence of all the newly isolated HPyVs among Italian children. Therefore, we investigated the frequency of serum antibodies against 12 PyVs in 182 immunocompetent children from Northeast Italy, by means of a multiplex antibody detection system. Additionally, secondary lymphoid tissues were collected to analyze the presence of HPyV DNA sequences using a specific real-time PCRs or PCRs. Almost 100% of subjects were seropositive for at least one PyV. Seropositivity ranged from 3% for antibodies against simian virus 40 (SV40) in children from 0 to 3 years, to 91% for antibodies against WU polyomavirus (WUPyV) and HPyV10 in children from 8 to 17 years. The mean number of PyV for which children were seropositive increased with the increasing of age: 4 standard deviations (SD) 1.8 in the 0-3-year group, 5 (SD 1.9) in the 4-7-year group, and 6 (SD 2.2) in the 8-17-year group. JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) DNA was detected in 1% of the adenoids, WUPyV in 12% of the tonsils, and 28% of the adenoids, and Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) was present in 6 and 2% of the tonsils and adenoids, respectively. Our study gives new insights on the serological evidence of exposure to PyVs during childhood, and on their possible respiratory route of transmission.&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/29330826?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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 Leo, Luigina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aeschlimann, Daniel</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hadjivassiliou, Marios</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aeschlimann, Pascale</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salce, Nicola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vatta, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ziberna, Fabiana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cozzi, Giorgio</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%">Anti-transglutaminase 6 Antibody Development in Children With Celiac Disease Correlates With Duration of Gluten Exposure.</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 measured the anti-TG6 in children with celiac disease (CD) at the diagnosis time to establish a correlation between these autoantibodies and the duration of gluten exposure. We investigated a correlation between anti-TG6 and the presence of neurological disorders.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Anti-TG6 (IgA/IgG) were measured by ELISA in sera of children with biopsy-proven CD and of children experiencing gastrointestinal disorders. CD patients positive for anti-TG6 were retested after 2 years of gluten-free diet (GFD).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;We analyzed the sera of 274 CD children and of 121 controls. Anti-TG6 were detected in 68/274 (25%) CD patients and in 19/121 (16%) controls, with significant difference between the 2 groups (P = 0.04). None of the CD patients and of the controls testing positive for anti-TG6 were experiencing neurological disorders. Eleven of 18 (61%) CD patients with other autoimmune diseases were positive for anti-TG6. In CD patients, a significant correlation between the gluten exposure before the CD diagnosis and anti-TG6 concentration was found (P = 0.006 for IgA; P &lt; 0.0001 for IgG). After GFD anti-TG6 concentrations were significantly reduced (P &lt; 0.001). No significant correlation was observed between anti-TG6 and anti-TG2 serum concentrations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Anti-TG6 are more prevalent in children with untreated CD in the absence of overt neurological disorders. The synthesis of the anti-TG6 is related to a longer exposure to gluten before the CD diagnosis, and the autoimmunity against TG6 is gluten dependent and disappeared during GFD.&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/28542044?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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 observed a clear reduction of NKX2-1 transcript levels in fibroblasts from our patients compared to controls; this finding suggests that MBIP deletion affects NKX2-1 expression, mimicking haploinsufficiency caused by classical NKX2-1 related mutations.&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/29621620?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cortellazzo Wiel, Luisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pederiva, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Castagnetti, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pennesi, Marco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boy with fish-mouth meatus.</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.

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%">Bonin, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanotta, Nunzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sartori, Arianna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bratina, Alessio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Manganotti, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trevisan, Giusto</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%">Cerebrospinal Fluid Cytokine Expression Profile in Multiple Sclerosis and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Immunol Invest</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Immunol.

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.

However, MLID genetic associated mechanisms remain largely unknown. To characterize MLID in Beckwith-Wiedemann (BWS) and Silver-Russell (SRS) syndromes, we profiled by MassARRAY the methylation of 12 imprinted differentially methylated regions (iDMRs) in 21 BWS and 7 SRS patients with chromosome 11p15.5 epimutations. MLID was identified in 50% of BWS and 29% of SRS patients as a maternal hypomethylation syndrome. By next-generation sequencing, we searched for putative MLID-causative mutations in genes involved in methylation establishment/maintenance and found two novel missense mutations possibly causative of MLID: one in NLRP2, affecting ADP binding and protein activity, and one in ZFP42, likely leading to loss of DNA binding specificity. Both variants were paternally inherited. In silico protein modelling allowed to define the functional effect of these mutations. We found that MLID is very frequent in BWS/SRS. In addition, since MLID-BWS patients in our cohort show a peculiar pattern of BWS-associated clinical signs, MLID test could be important for a comprehensive clinical assessment. Finally, we highlighted the possible involvement of ZFP42 variants in MLID development and confirmed NLRP2 as causative locus in BWS-MLID.&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/30221575?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tamaro, Gianluca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pederiva, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dibello, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gregori, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carbone, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pantaleoni, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dentici, Maria Lisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Niceta, Marcello</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 Child with Diminished Linear Growth and Waddling Gait.</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.

The refractoriness of the disease is due to the protection offered by the bone marrow niche, making leukemic stem cells impervious to whatever chemotherapy or myeloablative regimen is chosen. Using a mobilizing agent for haematopoietic stem cells, Plerixafor, could sensitise leukemic cells to the myeloablative therapy. This approach was not previously used in a pediatric population, and in adult populations, was used in combination with busulphan with no difference in overall survival. We describe the case of a 4-year-old boy affected by refractory acute myeloid leukemia with myelodysplastic changes and monosomy 7. The child had never achieved a remission. We proposed a combined time-scheduled scheme of therapy with plerixafor and melphalan. Combining pharmacokinetics of plerixafor with pharmacokinetics and rapid and elevated myeloablative potential of melphalan in high dosage (200 mg/m²), we succeeded in mobilizing more than 85% of stem blasts immediately before infusion of Melphalan. The count of residual blasts after 8 h from melphalan infusion was only 1.3 cells/μL. The child achieved an engraftment at day +32 with full donor chimerism. Sixteen months after haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), he is well and in complete remission. Our case suggests that the use of plerixafor before a conditioning therapy with melphalan could induce remission in acute myeloid leukemia refractory to the usual conditioning therapy in pediatric patients. This work adds strength to the body of knowledge regarding the &quot;personalized&quot; conditioning regimen for high-risk leukemic patients.&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/30150522?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piscianz, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabris, Bruno</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The Complex Interplay between Lipids, Immune System and Interleukins in Cardio-Metabolic Diseases.</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%">Anti-Inflammatory Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cardiovascular Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hypolipidemic Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Immune System</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inflammation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Interleukins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lipid Metabolism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lipids</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Metabolic Diseases</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 14</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;Lipids and inflammation regulate each other. Early studies on this topic focused on the systemic effects that the acute inflammatory response-and interleukins-had on lipid metabolism. Today, in the era of the obesity epidemic, whose primary complications are cardio-metabolic diseases, attention has moved to the effects that the nutritional environment and lipid derangements have on peripheral tissues, where lipotoxicity leads to organ damage through an imbalance of chronic inflammatory responses. After an overview of the effects that acute inflammation has on the systemic lipid metabolism, this review will describe the lipid-induced immune responses that take place in peripheral tissues and lead to chronic cardio-metabolic diseases. Moreover, the anti-inflammatory effects of lipid lowering drugs, as well as the possibility of using anti-inflammatory agents against cardio-metabolic diseases, will be discussed.&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/30558209?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Romano, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bersani, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fantacci, C</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%">Monti, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Viola, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tripodi, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barilaro, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iacono, I D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caffarelli, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mastrorilli, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barni, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mori, F</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%">Franceschini, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Viggiano, D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monaco, S</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cooking influence in tolerance acquisition in egg-induced acute food protein enterocolitis syndrome.</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 Oct 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;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Few studies on the age of resolution of Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES) induced by solid foods are available. 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%">Zanotta, Nunzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campisciano, Giuseppina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scrimin, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blendi, Ura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vincenti, Ezio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</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%">Cytokine profiles of women with vulvodynia: Identification of a panel of pro-inflammatory molecular targets.</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.

Among possible etiological factors, local injury, peripheral and/or central sensitization of the nervous system, and a chronic inflammatory status have been positively associated with the development of VPS. The identification of a constitutive altered local inflammatory profile in VPS women may represent an important point in the characterization of patients' phenotype as a useful marker influencing the vulvar micro-environment. The aim of this study was to investigative the possible role of the local cytokines production in women with VPS in comparison to healthy women.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;STUDY DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;In this study were collected vaginal swabs from 57 healthy women (HC) who never suffered from VPS and from 30 patients diagnosed with vulvodynia (VPS) by at least 3 years and currently symptomatic. All patients included in this study showed the absence of Sexually Transmitted (STD) diseases and Reproductive Tract Infection. Real-time PCR was performed to assess the genomic sequences of ST pathogens. The Luminex Bio-Plex platform was used for the analysis of a panel of 48 immune factors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Eleven molecules, specifically involved in the pro-inflammatory pathway were significantly modulated in VPS patients in comparison to healthy women, suggesting a persistent inflammatory process.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Therefore, these inflammatory factors could be possible biological markers involved in this disease. Nevertheless, other studies are needed to consider this specific immune profile as a valid marker of the vulvodynia.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29852336?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Zupin, Luisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polesello, Vania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, Ludovica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kamada, Anselmo Jiro</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%">DEFB1 polymorphisms and HIV-1 mother-to-child transmission in Zambian population.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

We investigated the role of DEFB1 gene (encoding for hBD-1) functional polymorphisms in the susceptibility to HIV-1 MTCT in a population from Zambia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Four selected polymorphisms within DEFB1 gene, three at the 5' untranslated region (UTR), namely -52G &gt; A (rs1799946), -44C &gt; G (rs1800972) and -20G &gt; A (rs11362) and one in the 3'UTR, c.*87A &gt; G (rs1800972), were genotyped in 101 HIV-1 positive mothers (26 transmitters -27% and 75 not transmitters -73%) and 331 infants born to HIV-1 infected mothers (85 HIV-1 positive -26% and 246 exposed but not infected -74%).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;DEFB1 c.*87-A allele was more frequent among HIV- children with respect to HIV+ (with intrauterine MTCT). Concerning DEFB1 haplotypes, GCGA haplotype resulted more represented in HIV- than HIV+ infants and DEFB1 ACGG haplotype presented increased frequency in HIV- children respect to HIV+ (with intra-partum MTCT) (p = .02, p = .002 and p = .006, respectively).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;DEFB1 polymorphisms were significantly associated with decreased risk of HIV-1 infection acquisition in the studied Zambian population suggesting that they may play a role in HIV-1 MTCT.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29506422?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Patti, Giuseppa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taddio, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montico, Marcella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pierobon, Chiara</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%">Does the Application of Heat Gel Pack After Eutectic Mixture of Local Anesthetic Cream Improve Venipuncture or Intravenous Cannulation Success Rate in Children?

The most used topical anesthetic, eutectic mixture of local anesthetic (EMLA) cream, may cause transient vasoconstriction. It has been postulated that this vasoconstriction may decrease vein visualization. The application of heat gel pack after removal of EMLA cream in the site of venipuncture counteracts the vasoconstriction, improving vein visualization. We assessed using a prospective randomized controlled trial whether the application of heat gel pack increases the needle procedure success rate. The primary study outcome was procedural success rate at the first attempt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;The study enrolled 400 children, 200 of whom applied heat gel pack after removing EMLA (treatment group) and 200 did not (control group). Procedural success rate at the first attempt, vein perception before procedure, procedural pain, and adverse events were recorded in both groups.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Eighty-eight percent of the procedures were successful at the first attempt in the treatment group and 89% in the control group (P = 0.876). Vein perception was not significantly different in the 2 groups (P = 0.081). Pain score after the procedure was similar in the 2 groups.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;This study shows that the application of heat gel pack after removal of EMLA cream does not improve venipuncture or intravenous cannulation success rate.&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/28719485?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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.

The primary endpoint was the rate of corticosteroid-free remission at week 52. 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 face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29761687?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferlin, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Selice, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Angelini, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Grazia, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caretta, N</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cavalieri, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Mambro, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foresta, C</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Endocrine and psychological aspects of sexual dysfunction in Klinefelter patients.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Andrology</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Andrology</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 05</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">414-419</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Klinefelter syndrome is a frequent cause of hypogonadism, but despite hundreds of publications on different aspects of Klinefelter syndrome, only a few studies dealt with sexual dysfunction. In particular, testosterone is critical for various aspects of sexual response, but its role on sexuality in Klinefelter syndrome patients is debatable and no studies have evaluated the efficacy of testosterone treatment on sexual dysfunction in these subjects. Furthermore, the impact of psychological and relational aspects on sexual function of Klinefelter syndrome subjects is poorly defined. In this study, we aimed to determine the presence and type of sexual dysfunctions in Klinefelter syndrome subjects; to correlate them with testosterone levels and psychosexological and relational domains; and to evaluate the effects of testosterone therapy. We studied 62 non-mosaic naïve Klinefelter syndrome patients and 60 age-matched controls by means of medical history, psychosexological history, 15-item International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire, endocrine assessment, and dynamic penile color Doppler ultrasound. Twenty-five hypogonadal Klinefelter syndrome patients were studied after 6 months of testosterone replacement therapy. Klinefelter syndrome subjects have reduced 15-item International Index of Erectile Function scores regarding sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction, and overall satisfaction with respect to controls, and these aspects were significantly associated with testosterone levels. Klinefelter syndrome subjects had also higher prevalence of erectile dysfunction, but no relation with testosterone levels was evident. A high prevalence of a range of psychological disturbances was present in Klinefelter syndrome subjects with erectile dysfunction with respect to those without erectile dysfunction. No statistical difference in the prevalence of premature and delayed ejaculation was observed between Klinefelter syndrome and control subjects. Testosterone replacement therapy improved sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction, and overall satisfaction scores, but had no effect on erectile function. Penile color Doppler ultrasound was normal in all subjects. This study shows that sexual dysfunction in Klinefelter syndrome is multifactorial and related only in part to hypogonadism and largely to psychological disturbances. Evaluation and therapy of sexual dysfunction should include a combined andrological and psychosexological approach.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default"

&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.

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" size="100%">35</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30357666?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Simonini, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrara, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pontikaki, Irene</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scoccimarro, Erika</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giani, Teresa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taddio, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meroni, Pier Luigi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cimaz, Rolando</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Flares After Withdrawal of Biologic Therapies in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: Clinical and Laboratory Correlates of Remission Duration.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken)</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken)</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 Jul</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">70</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1046-1051</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 time in remission after discontinuing biologic therapy in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We enrolled 135 patients followed in 3 tertiary-care centers. The primary outcome was to assess, once remission was achieved, the time in remission up to the first flare after discontinuing treatment. Mann-Whitney U test, Wilcoxon's signed rank test for paired samples, chi-square tests, and Fisher's exact test were used to compare data. Pearson's and Spearman's correlation tests were used to determine correlation coefficients for different variables. To identify predictors of outcome, Cox regression model and Kaplan-Meier curves were constructed, each one at the mean of entered covariates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The majority of enrolled patients flared after stopping treatment with biologics (102 of 135, 75.6%) after a median followup time in remission off therapy of 6 months (range 3-109 months). A higher probability of maintaining remission after discontinuing treatment was present in systemic-onset disease compared to the rest of the JIA patients (Mantel-Cox χ = 8.31, P &lt; 0.004). In analysis limited to children with JIA with polyarticular and oligoarticular disease, patients who received biologics &gt;2 years after achieving remission had a higher probability of maintaining such remission off therapy (mean ± SD 18.64 ± 3.3 months versus 11.51 ± 2.7 months [P &lt; 0.009]; Mantel-Cox χ = 9.06, P &lt; 0.002). No other clinical variable was significantly associated with a long-lasting remission.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Children with oligoarticular and polyarticular JIA who stop treatment before 2 years from remission have a higher chance of relapsing after biologic withdrawal.&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/28973842?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Becorpi, Angelamaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campisciano, Giuseppina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanotta, Nunzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tredici, Zelinda</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guaschino, Secondo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Petraglia, Felice</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pieralli, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sisti, Giovanni</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%">Fractional CO laser for genitourinary syndrome of menopause in breast cancer survivors: clinical, immunological, and microbiological aspects.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lasers Med Sci</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lasers Med Sci</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Breast Neoplasms</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cancer Survivors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cytokines</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dyspareunia</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%">Lasers, Gas</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Menopause</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Microbiota</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%">Syndrome</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vagina</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vaginal Diseases</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%">33</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1047-1054</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 composition of vaginal microbiome in menopause and cancer survivor women changes dramatically leading to genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) in up to 70% of patients. Recent reports suggest that laser therapy may be valuable as a not hormonal therapeutic modality. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of fractional CO laser treatment on the vaginal secretory pathway of a large panel of immune mediators, usually implicated in tissue remodeling and inflammation, and on microbiome composition in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors. The Ion Torrent PGM platform and the Luminex Bio-Plex platform were used for microbiome and immune factor analysis. The significant reduction of clinical symptoms and the non-significant changes in vaginal microbiome support the efficacy and safety of laser treatment. Moreover, the high remodeling status in vaginal epithelium is demonstrated by the significant changes in inflammatory and modulatory cytokine patterns. Laser therapy can be used for the treatment of GSM symptoms and does not show any adverse effects. However, further studies will be needed to clarify its long-term efficacy and other effects.&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"

Although IBD usually occurs in young adults, onset in childhood and infancy are described in patients within the 10th and second year of age. By genome-wide association studies and meta-analysis, several genetic loci have been identified associated with an increased risk of developing IBD in Western populations with variants that may alter the normal mucosal immunity in the gastrointestinal tract. The clinical complexity and the heterogeneity of the IBD phenotype probably reflect the presence of genetic heterogeneity where different genes or combinations of them may be involved, together with environmental factors. We hypothesized that patients with early onset IBD could have either more severe genetic variants in genes associated with IBD or multiple variants in different genes. Under the multifactorial diseases is crucial to consider the small contribution of a single variant in all not only to other small variations in the same gene but also in different genes belonging to the same pathway. We performed direct gene sequencing looking for 94 variations in NOD2, ATG16L1, IL23R, IL10R, IL10 and XIAP genes previously shown as correlated with IBD both in multifactorial and in Mendelian models. All variants identified are known in literature as being associated with IBD except for three variants in the genes NOD2, IL10 and IL10RB that even though present in online databases have never been involved in association studies on IBD patients. Moreover, we coupled genetic variants identification with an accurate &quot;in silico&quot; analysis to verify their predictive impact on the protein structure and function. The in-silico prediction of these variants results as benign therefore even if they exhibit a very low frequency in control population being benign, they cannot be considered pathogenic as monogenic disease but fall within the multifactorial range. The variants identified in our study partially reflect the association data described in the literature but there are no significant differences with the onset of disease (VEO vs EO-IBD).&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29248579?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moura, R R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cappellani, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celsi, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trevisan, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schneider, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brollo, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nicastro, E M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vita, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Finotto, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zabucchi, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Borelli, V</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A genetic variant of NLRP1 gene is associated with asbestos body burden in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma.</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.

The mechanisms underlying AB formation are complex, involving inflammatory responses and iron (Fe) metabolism. Thus, the responsiveness to AB formation is variable, with some individuals appearing to be poor AB formers. The aim of this study was to disclose the possible role of genetic variants of genes encoding inflammasome and iron metabolism proteins in the ability to form ABs in a population of 81 individuals from North East Italy, who died after having developed malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). This study included 86 genetic variants distributed in 10 genes involved in Fe metabolism and 7 genetic variants in two genes encoding for inflammasome molecules. Genotypes/haplotypes were compared according to the number of lung ABs. Data showed that the NLRP1 rs12150220 missense variant (H155L) was significantly correlated with numbers of ABs in MPM patients. Specifically, a low number of ABs was detected in individuals carrying the NLRP1 rs12150220 A/T genotype. Our findings suggest that the NLRP1 inflammasome might contribute in the development of lung ABs. It is postulated that the NLRP1 missense variant may be considered as one of the possible host genetic factors contributing to individual variability in coating efficiency, which needs to be taken when assessing occupational exposure to asbestos.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

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"

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%">Corrias, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pederiva, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cozzi, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ammar, Lydie</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cattaruzzi, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lembo, Maria Antonietta</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 Giant Ovarian Cyst in an Adolescent.</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.

Previous iterations of the GBD used population estimates from UNPOP, which were not derived in a way that was internally consistent with the estimates of the numbers of deaths in the GBD. The present iteration of the GBD, GBD 2017, improves on previous assessments and provides timely estimates of the mortality experience of populations globally.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;The GBD uses all available data to produce estimates of mortality rates between 1950 and 2017 for 23 age groups, both sexes, and 918 locations, including 195 countries and territories and subnational locations for 16 countries. Data used include vital registration systems, sample registration systems, household surveys (complete birth histories, summary birth histories, sibling histories), censuses (summary birth histories, household deaths), and Demographic Surveillance Sites. In total, this analysis used 8259 data sources. Estimates of the probability of death between birth and the age of 5 years and between ages 15 and 60 years are generated and then input into a model life table system to produce complete life tables for all locations and years. Fatal discontinuities and mortality due to HIV/AIDS are analysed separately and then incorporated into the estimation. We analyse the relationship between age-specific mortality and development status using the Socio-demographic Index, a composite measure based on fertility under the age of 25 years, education, and income. There are four main methodological improvements in GBD 2017 compared with GBD 2016: 622 additional data sources have been incorporated; new estimates of population, generated by the GBD study, are used; statistical methods used in different components of the analysis have been further standardised and improved; and the analysis has been extended backwards in time by two decades to start in 1950.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;Globally, 18·7% (95% uncertainty interval 18·4-19·0) of deaths were registered in 1950 and that proportion has been steadily increasing since, with 58·8% (58·2-59·3) of all deaths being registered in 2015. At the global level, between 1950 and 2017, life expectancy increased from 48·1 years (46·5-49·6) to 70·5 years (70·1-70·8) for men and from 52·9 years (51·7-54·0) to 75·6 years (75·3-75·9) for women. Despite this overall progress, there remains substantial variation in life expectancy at birth in 2017, which ranges from 49·1 years (46·5-51·7) for men in the Central African Republic to 87·6 years (86·9-88·1) among women in Singapore. The greatest progress across age groups was for children younger than 5 years; under-5 mortality dropped from 216·0 deaths (196·3-238·1) per 1000 livebirths in 1950 to 38·9 deaths (35·6-42·83) per 1000 livebirths in 2017, with huge reductions across countries. Nevertheless, there were still 5·4 million (5·2-5·6) deaths among children younger than 5 years in the world in 2017. Progress has been less pronounced and more variable for adults, especially for adult males, who had stagnant or increasing mortality rates in several countries. The gap between male and female life expectancy between 1950 and 2017, while relatively stable at the global level, shows distinctive patterns across super-regions and has consistently been the largest in central Europe, eastern Europe, and central Asia, and smallest in south Asia. Performance was also variable across countries and time in observed mortality rates compared with those expected on the basis of development.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERPRETATION: &lt;/b&gt;This analysis of age-sex-specific mortality shows that there are remarkably complex patterns in population mortality across countries. The findings of this study highlight global successes, such as the large decline in under-5 mortality, which reflects significant local, national, and global commitment and investment over several decades. However, they also bring attention to mortality patterns that are a cause for concern, particularly among adult men and, to a lesser extent, women, whose mortality rates have stagnated in many countries over the time period of this study, and in some cases are increasing.&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%">10159</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30496102?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GBD 2017 Causes of Death Collaborators</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Global, regional, and national age-sex-specific mortality for 282 causes of death in 195 countries and territories, 1980-2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</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 Distribution</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%">Cause of Death</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%">Global Burden of Disease</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Global Health</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%">Life Expectancy</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%">Sex Distribution</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Socioeconomic Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Young Adult</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 11 10</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">392</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1736-1788</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;Global development goals increasingly rely on country-specific estimates for benchmarking a nation's progress. To meet this need, the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2016 estimated global, regional, national, and, for selected locations, subnational cause-specific mortality beginning in the year 1980. Here we report an update to that study, making use of newly available data and improved methods. GBD 2017 provides a comprehensive assessment of cause-specific mortality for 282 causes in 195 countries and territories from 1980 to 2017.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;The causes of death database is composed of vital registration (VR), verbal autopsy (VA), registry, survey, police, and surveillance data. GBD 2017 added ten VA studies, 127 country-years of VR data, 502 cancer-registry country-years, and an additional surveillance country-year. Expansions of the GBD cause of death hierarchy resulted in 18 additional causes estimated for GBD 2017. Newly available data led to subnational estimates for five additional countries-Ethiopia, Iran, New Zealand, Norway, and Russia. Deaths assigned International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes for non-specific, implausible, or intermediate causes of death were reassigned to underlying causes by redistribution algorithms that were incorporated into uncertainty estimation. We used statistical modelling tools developed for GBD, including the Cause of Death Ensemble model (CODEm), to generate cause fractions and cause-specific death rates for each location, year, age, and sex. Instead of using UN estimates as in previous versions, GBD 2017 independently estimated population size and fertility rate for all locations. Years of life lost (YLLs) were then calculated as the sum of each death multiplied by the standard life expectancy at each age. All rates reported here are age-standardised.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;At the broadest grouping of causes of death (Level 1), non-communicable diseases (NCDs) comprised the greatest fraction of deaths, contributing to 73·4% (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 72·5-74·1) of total deaths in 2017, while communicable, maternal, neonatal, and nutritional (CMNN) causes accounted for 18·6% (17·9-19·6), and injuries 8·0% (7·7-8·2). Total numbers of deaths from NCD causes increased from 2007 to 2017 by 22·7% (21·5-23·9), representing an additional 7·61 million (7·20-8·01) deaths estimated in 2017 versus 2007. The death rate from NCDs decreased globally by 7·9% (7·0-8·8). The number of deaths for CMNN causes decreased by 22·2% (20·0-24·0) and the death rate by 31·8% (30·1-33·3). Total deaths from injuries increased by 2·3% (0·5-4·0) between 2007 and 2017, and the death rate from injuries decreased by 13·7% (12·2-15·1) to 57·9 deaths (55·9-59·2) per 100 000 in 2017. Deaths from substance use disorders also increased, rising from 284 000 deaths (268 000-289 000) globally in 2007 to 352 000 (334 000-363 000) in 2017. Between 2007 and 2017, total deaths from conflict and terrorism increased by 118·0% (88·8-148·6). A greater reduction in total deaths and death rates was observed for some CMNN causes among children younger than 5 years than for older adults, such as a 36·4% (32·2-40·6) reduction in deaths from lower respiratory infections for children younger than 5 years compared with a 33·6% (31·2-36·1) increase in adults older than 70 years. Globally, the number of deaths was greater for men than for women at most ages in 2017, except at ages older than 85 years. Trends in global YLLs reflect an epidemiological transition, with decreases in total YLLs from enteric infections, respiratory infections and tuberculosis, and maternal and neonatal disorders between 1990 and 2017; these were generally greater in magnitude at the lowest levels of the Socio-demographic Index (SDI). At the same time, there were large increases in YLLs from neoplasms and cardiovascular diseases. YLL rates decreased across the five leading Level 2 causes in all SDI quintiles. The leading causes of YLLs in 1990-neonatal disorders, lower respiratory infections, and diarrhoeal diseases-were ranked second, fourth, and fifth, in 2017. Meanwhile, estimated YLLs increased for ischaemic heart disease (ranked first in 2017) and stroke (ranked third), even though YLL rates decreased. Population growth contributed to increased total deaths across the 20 leading Level 2 causes of mortality between 2007 and 2017. Decreases in the cause-specific mortality rate reduced the effect of population growth for all but three causes: substance use disorders, neurological disorders, and skin and subcutaneous diseases.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERPRETATION: &lt;/b&gt;Improvements in global health have been unevenly distributed among populations. Deaths due to injuries, substance use disorders, armed conflict and terrorism, neoplasms, and cardiovascular disease are expanding threats to global health. For causes of death such as lower respiratory and enteric infections, more rapid progress occurred for children than for the oldest adults, and there is continuing disparity in mortality rates by sex across age groups. Reductions in the death rate of some common diseases are themselves slowing or have ceased, primarily for NCDs, and the death rate for selected causes has increased in the past decade.&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%">10159</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30496103?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GBD 2016 Meningitis Collaborators</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Global, regional, and national burden of meningitis, 1990-2016: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet Neurol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet Neurol</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</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">17</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1061-1082</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;Acute meningitis has a high case-fatality rate and survivors can have severe lifelong disability. We aimed to provide a comprehensive assessment of the levels and trends of global meningitis burden that could help to guide introduction, continuation, and ongoing development of vaccines and treatment programmes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors (GBD) 2016 study estimated meningitis burden due to one of four types of cause: pneumococcal, meningococcal, Haemophilus influenzae type b, and a residual category of other causes. Cause-specific mortality estimates were generated via cause of death ensemble modelling of vital registration and verbal autopsy data that were subject to standardised data processing algorithms. Deaths were multiplied by the GBD standard life expectancy at age of death to estimate years of life lost, the mortality component of disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs). A systematic analysis of relevant publications and hospital and claims data was used to estimate meningitis incidence via a Bayesian meta-regression tool. Meningitis deaths and cases were split between causes with meta-regressions of aetiological proportions of mortality and incidence, respectively. Probabilities of long-term impairment by cause of meningitis were applied to survivors and used to estimate years of life lived with disability (YLDs). We assessed the relationship between burden metrics and Socio-demographic Index (SDI), a composite measure of development based on fertility, income, and education.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;Global meningitis deaths decreased by 21·0% from 1990 to 2016, from 403 012 (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 319 426-458 514) to 318 400 (265 218-408 705). Incident cases globally increased from 2·50 million (95% UI 2·19-2·91) in 1990 to 2·82 million (2·46-3·31) in 2016. Meningitis mortality and incidence were closely related to SDI. The highest mortality rates and incidence rates were found in the peri-Sahelian countries that comprise the African meningitis belt, with six of the ten countries with the largest number of cases and deaths being located within this region. Haemophilus influenzae type b was the most common cause of incident meningitis in 1990, at 780 070 cases (95% UI 613 585-978 219) globally, but decreased the most (-49·1%) to become the least common cause in 2016, with 397 297 cases (291 076-533 662). Meningococcus was the leading cause of meningitis mortality in 1990 (192 833 deaths [95% UI 153 358-221 503] globally), whereas other meningitis was the leading cause for both deaths (136 423 [112 682-178 022]) and incident cases (1·25 million [1·06-1·49]) in 2016. Pneumococcus caused the largest number of YLDs (634 458 [444 787-839 749]) in 2016, owing to its more severe long-term effects on survivors. Globally in 2016, 1·48 million (1·04-1·96) YLDs were due to meningitis compared with 21·87 million (18·20-28·28) DALYs, indicating that the contribution of mortality to meningitis burden is far greater than the contribution of disabling outcomes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERPRETATION: &lt;/b&gt;Meningitis burden remains high and progress lags substantially behind that of other vaccine-preventable diseases. Particular attention should be given to developing vaccines with broader coverage against the causes of meningitis, making these vaccines affordable in the most affected countries, improving vaccine uptake, improving access to low-cost diagnostics and therapeutics, and improving support for disabled survivors. Substantial uncertainty remains around pathogenic causes and risk factors for meningitis. Ongoing, active cause-specific surveillance of meningitis is crucial to continue and to improve monitoring of meningitis burdens and trends throughout the world.&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%">12</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30507391?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GBD 2017 Risk Factor Collaborators</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 84 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks for 195 countries and territories, 1990-2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Stu</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</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 Distribution</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%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Disabled Persons</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%">Global Burden of Disease</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Global Health</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Risk Behaviors</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%">Life Expectancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Metabolic Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Occupational Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Occupational Exposure</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality-Adjusted Life Years</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk Assessment</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sex Distribution</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Socioeconomic Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Young Adult</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 11 10</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">392</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1923-1994</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 Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2017 comparative risk assessment (CRA) is a comprehensive approach to risk factor quantification that offers a useful tool for synthesising evidence on risks and risk-outcome associations. With each annual GBD study, we update the GBD CRA to incorporate improved methods, new risks and risk-outcome pairs, and new data on risk exposure levels and risk-outcome associations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We used the CRA framework developed for previous iterations of GBD to estimate levels and trends in exposure, attributable deaths, and attributable disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), by age group, sex, year, and location for 84 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or groups of risks from 1990 to 2017. This study included 476 risk-outcome pairs that met the GBD study criteria for convincing or probable evidence of causation. We extracted relative risk and exposure estimates from 46 749 randomised controlled trials, cohort studies, household surveys, census data, satellite data, and other sources. We used statistical models to pool data, adjust for bias, and incorporate covariates. Using the counterfactual scenario of theoretical minimum risk exposure level (TMREL), we estimated the portion of deaths and DALYs that could be attributed to a given risk. We explored the relationship between development and risk exposure by modelling the relationship between the Socio-demographic Index (SDI) and risk-weighted exposure prevalence and estimated expected levels of exposure and risk-attributable burden by SDI. Finally, we explored temporal changes in risk-attributable DALYs by decomposing those changes into six main component drivers of change as follows: (1) population growth; (2) changes in population age structures; (3) changes in exposure to environmental and occupational risks; (4) changes in exposure to behavioural risks; (5) changes in exposure to metabolic risks; and (6) changes due to all other factors, approximated as the risk-deleted death and DALY rates, where the risk-deleted rate is the rate that would be observed had we reduced the exposure levels to the TMREL for all risk factors included in GBD 2017.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;In 2017, 34·1 million (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 33·3-35·0) deaths and 1·21 billion (1·14-1·28) DALYs were attributable to GBD risk factors. Globally, 61·0% (59·6-62·4) of deaths and 48·3% (46·3-50·2) of DALYs were attributed to the GBD 2017 risk factors. When ranked by risk-attributable DALYs, high systolic blood pressure (SBP) was the leading risk factor, accounting for 10·4 million (9·39-11·5) deaths and 218 million (198-237) DALYs, followed by smoking (7·10 million [6·83-7·37] deaths and 182 million [173-193] DALYs), high fasting plasma glucose (6·53 million [5·23-8·23] deaths and 171 million [144-201] DALYs), high body-mass index (BMI; 4·72 million [2·99-6·70] deaths and 148 million [98·6-202] DALYs), and short gestation for birthweight (1·43 million [1·36-1·51] deaths and 139 million [131-147] DALYs). In total, risk-attributable DALYs declined by 4·9% (3·3-6·5) between 2007 and 2017. In the absence of demographic changes (ie, population growth and ageing), changes in risk exposure and risk-deleted DALYs would have led to a 23·5% decline in DALYs during that period. Conversely, in the absence of changes in risk exposure and risk-deleted DALYs, demographic changes would have led to an 18·6% increase in DALYs during that period. The ratios of observed risk exposure levels to exposure levels expected based on SDI (O/E ratios) increased globally for unsafe drinking water and household air pollution between 1990 and 2017. This result suggests that development is occurring more rapidly than are changes in the underlying risk structure in a population. Conversely, nearly universal declines in O/E ratios for smoking and alcohol use indicate that, for a given SDI, exposure to these risks is declining. In 2017, the leading Level 4 risk factor for age-standardised DALY rates was high SBP in four super-regions: central Europe, eastern Europe, and central Asia; north Africa and Middle East; south Asia; and southeast Asia, east Asia, and Oceania. The leading risk factor in the high-income super-region was smoking, in Latin America and Caribbean was high BMI, and in sub-Saharan Africa was unsafe sex. O/E ratios for unsafe sex in sub-Saharan Africa were notably high, and those for alcohol use in north Africa and the Middle East were notably low.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERPRETATION: &lt;/b&gt;By quantifying levels and trends in exposures to risk factors and the resulting disease burden, this assessment offers insight into where past policy and programme efforts might have been successful and highlights current priorities for public health action. Decreases in behavioural, environmental, and occupational risks have largely offset the effects of population growth and ageing, in relation to trends in absolute burden. Conversely, the combination of increasing metabolic risks and population ageing will probably continue to drive the increasing trends in non-communicable diseases at the global level, which presents both a public health challenge and opportunity. We see considerable spatiotemporal heterogeneity in levels of risk exposure and risk-attributable burden. Although levels of development underlie some of this heterogeneity, O/E ratios show risks for which countries are overperforming or underperforming relative to their level of development. As such, these ratios provide a benchmarking tool to help to focus local decision making. Our findings reinforce the importance of both risk exposure monitoring and epidemiological research to assess causal connections between risks and health outcomes, and they highlight the usefulness of the GBD study in synthesising data to draw comprehensive and robust conclusions that help to inform good policy and strategic health planning.&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%">10159</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30496105?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GBD 2017 DALYs and HALE Collaborators</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Global, regional, and national disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) for 359 diseases and injuries and healthy life expectancy (HALE) for 195 countries and territories, 1990-2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Communicable Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Disabled Persons</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Global Burden of Disease</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Status</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Healthy Lifestyle</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Life Expectancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mortality</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mortality, Premature</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prevalence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality-Adjusted Life Years</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Socioeconomic Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wounds and Injuries</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 11 10</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">392</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1859-1922</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;How long one lives, how many years of life are spent in good and poor health, and how the population's state of health and leading causes of disability change over time all have implications for policy, planning, and provision of services. We comparatively assessed the patterns and trends of healthy life expectancy (HALE), which quantifies the number of years of life expected to be lived in good health, and the complementary measure of disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs), a composite measure of disease burden capturing both premature mortality and prevalence and severity of ill health, for 359 diseases and injuries for 195 countries and territories over the past 28 years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We used data for age-specific mortality rates, years of life lost (YLLs) due to premature mortality, and years lived with disability (YLDs) from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2017 to calculate HALE and DALYs from 1990 to 2017. We calculated HALE using age-specific mortality rates and YLDs per capita for each location, age, sex, and year. We calculated DALYs for 359 causes as the sum of YLLs and YLDs. We assessed how observed HALE and DALYs differed by country and sex from expected trends based on Socio-demographic Index (SDI). We also analysed HALE by decomposing years of life gained into years spent in good health and in poor health, between 1990 and 2017, and extra years lived by females compared with males.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;Globally, from 1990 to 2017, life expectancy at birth increased by 7·4 years (95% uncertainty interval 7·1-7·8), from 65·6 years (65·3-65·8) in 1990 to 73·0 years (72·7-73·3) in 2017. The increase in years of life varied from 5·1 years (5·0-5·3) in high SDI countries to 12·0 years (11·3-12·8) in low SDI countries. Of the additional years of life expected at birth, 26·3% (20·1-33·1) were expected to be spent in poor health in high SDI countries compared with 11·7% (8·8-15·1) in low-middle SDI countries. HALE at birth increased by 6·3 years (5·9-6·7), from 57·0 years (54·6-59·1) in 1990 to 63·3 years (60·5-65·7) in 2017. The increase varied from 3·8 years (3·4-4·1) in high SDI countries to 10·5 years (9·8-11·2) in low SDI countries. Even larger variations in HALE than these were observed between countries, ranging from 1·0 year (0·4-1·7) in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (62·4 years [59·9-64·7] in 1990 to 63·5 years [60·9-65·8] in 2017) to 23·7 years (21·9-25·6) in Eritrea (30·7 years [28·9-32·2] in 1990 to 54·4 years [51·5-57·1] in 2017). In most countries, the increase in HALE was smaller than the increase in overall life expectancy, indicating more years lived in poor health. In 180 of 195 countries and territories, females were expected to live longer than males in 2017, with extra years lived varying from 1·4 years (0·6-2·3) in Algeria to 11·9 years (10·9-12·9) in Ukraine. Of the extra years gained, the proportion spent in poor health varied largely across countries, with less than 20% of additional years spent in poor health in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Burundi, and Slovakia, whereas in Bahrain all the extra years were spent in poor health. In 2017, the highest estimate of HALE at birth was in Singapore for both females (75·8 years [72·4-78·7]) and males (72·6 years [69·8-75·0]) and the lowest estimates were in Central African Republic (47·0 years [43·7-50·2] for females and 42·8 years [40·1-45·6] for males). Globally, in 2017, the five leading causes of DALYs were neonatal disorders, ischaemic heart disease, stroke, lower respiratory infections, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Between 1990 and 2017, age-standardised DALY rates decreased by 41·3% (38·8-43·5) for communicable diseases and by 49·8% (47·9-51·6) for neonatal disorders. For non-communicable diseases, global DALYs increased by 40·1% (36·8-43·0), although age-standardised DALY rates decreased by 18·1% (16·0-20·2).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERPRETATION: &lt;/b&gt;With increasing life expectancy in most countries, the question of whether the additional years of life gained are spent in good health or poor health has been increasingly relevant because of the potential policy implications, such as health-care provisions and extending retirement ages. In some locations, a large proportion of those additional years are spent in poor health. Large inequalities in HALE and disease burden exist across countries in different SDI quintiles and between sexes. The burden of disabling conditions has serious implications for health system planning and health-related expenditures. Despite the progress made in reducing the burden of communicable diseases and neonatal disorders in low SDI countries, the speed of this progress could be increased by scaling up proven interventions. The global trends among non-communicable diseases indicate that more effort is needed to maximise HALE, such as risk prevention and attention to upstream determinants of health.&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%">10159</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30415748?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GBD 2017 Disease and Injury Incidence and Prevalence Collaborators</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Global, regional, and national incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for 354 diseases and injuries for 195 countries and territories, 1990-2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</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 Distribution</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%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Disabled Persons</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Global Burden of Disease</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Global Health</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%">Life Expectancy</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%">Morbidity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prevalence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sex Distribution</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Socioeconomic Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wounds and Injuries</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Young Adult</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 11 10</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">392</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1789-1858</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 Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2017 (GBD 2017) includes a comprehensive assessment of incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) for 354 causes in 195 countries and territories from 1990 to 2017. Previous GBD studies have shown how the decline of mortality rates from 1990 to 2016 has led to an increase in life expectancy, an ageing global population, and an expansion of the non-fatal burden of disease and injury. These studies have also shown how a substantial portion of the world's population experiences non-fatal health loss with considerable heterogeneity among different causes, locations, ages, and sexes. Ongoing objectives of the GBD study include increasing the level of estimation detail, improving analytical strategies, and increasing the amount of high-quality data.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We estimated incidence and prevalence for 354 diseases and injuries and 3484 sequelae. We used an updated and extensive body of literature studies, survey data, surveillance data, inpatient admission records, outpatient visit records, and health insurance claims, and additionally used results from cause of death models to inform estimates using a total of 68 781 data sources. Newly available clinical data from India, Iran, Japan, Jordan, Nepal, China, Brazil, Norway, and Italy were incorporated, as well as updated claims data from the USA and new claims data from Taiwan (province of China) and Singapore. We used DisMod-MR 2.1, a Bayesian meta-regression tool, as the main method of estimation, ensuring consistency between rates of incidence, prevalence, remission, and cause of death for each condition. YLDs were estimated as the product of a prevalence estimate and a disability weight for health states of each mutually exclusive sequela, adjusted for comorbidity. We updated the Socio-demographic Index (SDI), a summary development indicator of income per capita, years of schooling, and total fertility rate. Additionally, we calculated differences between male and female YLDs to identify divergent trends across sexes. GBD 2017 complies with the Guidelines for Accurate and Transparent Health Estimates Reporting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;Globally, for females, the causes with the greatest age-standardised prevalence were oral disorders, headache disorders, and haemoglobinopathies and haemolytic anaemias in both 1990 and 2017. For males, the causes with the greatest age-standardised prevalence were oral disorders, headache disorders, and tuberculosis including latent tuberculosis infection in both 1990 and 2017. In terms of YLDs, low back pain, headache disorders, and dietary iron deficiency were the leading Level 3 causes of YLD counts in 1990, whereas low back pain, headache disorders, and depressive disorders were the leading causes in 2017 for both sexes combined. All-cause age-standardised YLD rates decreased by 3·9% (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 3·1-4·6) from 1990 to 2017; however, the all-age YLD rate increased by 7·2% (6·0-8·4) while the total sum of global YLDs increased from 562 million (421-723) to 853 million (642-1100). The increases for males and females were similar, with increases in all-age YLD rates of 7·9% (6·6-9·2) for males and 6·5% (5·4-7·7) for females. We found significant differences between males and females in terms of age-standardised prevalence estimates for multiple causes. The causes with the greatest relative differences between sexes in 2017 included substance use disorders (3018 cases [95% UI 2782-3252] per 100 000 in males vs s1400 [1279-1524] per 100 000 in females), transport injuries (3322 [3082-3583] vs 2336 [2154-2535]), and self-harm and interpersonal violence (3265 [2943-3630] vs 5643 [5057-6302]).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERPRETATION: &lt;/b&gt;Global all-cause age-standardised YLD rates have improved only slightly over a period spanning nearly three decades. However, the magnitude of the non-fatal disease burden has expanded globally, with increasing numbers of people who have a wide spectrum of conditions. A subset of conditions has remained globally pervasive since 1990, whereas other conditions have displayed more dynamic trends, with different ages, sexes, and geographies across the globe experiencing varying burdens and trends of health loss. This study emphasises how global improvements in premature mortality for select conditions have led to older populations with complex and potentially expensive diseases, yet also highlights global achievements in certain domains of disease and injury.&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%">10159</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30496104?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Palmisano, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cason, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giuricin, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Silvestri, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guerra, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Macor, D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Manzini, N</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crocé, L S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comar, M</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gut microbiota characterisation in obese patients before and after bariatric surgery.</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><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bariatric Surgery</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%">Laparoscopy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Microbiota</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%">Young Adult</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 25</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">367-373</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Intestinal microbiota analysis of obese patients after bariatric surgery showed that Proteobacteria decreased after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG), while it increased after laparoscopic gastric bypass (LGB). Comparing to normal weight (NW) patients, obese patients that were selected for SG showed an almost equal amount of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes and the ratio was not affected by the surgery. Obese patients before LGB showed a predominance of Bacteroidetes, whose amount regained a relative abundance similar to NW patients after surgery. Obese patients before LGB showed the predominance of Bacteroides, which decreased after surgery in favour of Prevotella, a bacterium associated with a healthy diet. The bacteria detected at the highest percentages belonged to biofilm forming species. In conclusion, in this study, we found that the characterization of the gut microbial communities and the modality of mucosal colonisation have a central role as markers for the clinical management of obesity and promote the maintenance of good health and the weight loss.&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/29482339?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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 Iudicibus, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lucafò, Marianna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vitulo, Nicola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelossi, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zimbello, Rosanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Pascale, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Forcato, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Naviglio, Samuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Silvestre, Alessia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gerdol, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stocco, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valle, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bramuzzo, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decorti, Giuliana</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">High-Throughput Sequencing of microRNAs in Glucocorticoid Sensitive Paediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients.</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%">Biomarkers</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%">Gene Expression Regulation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Glucocorticoids</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%">Inflammatory Bowel Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MicroRNAs</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Receptors, Glucocorticoid</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transcriptome</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 08</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;The aim of this research was the identification of novel pharmacogenomic biomarkers for better understanding the complex gene regulation mechanisms underpinning glucocorticoid (GC) action in paediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This goal was achieved by evaluating high-throughput microRNA (miRNA) profiles during GC treatment, integrated with the assessment of expression changes in GC receptor (GR) heterocomplex genes. Furthermore, we tested the hypothesis that differentially expressed miRNAs could be directly regulated by GCs through investigating the presence of GC responsive elements (GREs) in their gene promoters. Ten IBD paediatric patients responding to GCs were enrolled. Peripheral blood was obtained at diagnosis (T0) and after four weeks of steroid treatment (T4). MicroRNA profiles were analyzed using next generation sequencing, and selected significantly differentially expressed miRNAs were validated by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. In detail, 18 miRNAs were differentially expressed from T0 to T4, 16 of which were upregulated and 2 of which were downregulated. Out of these, three miRNAs (miR-144, miR-142, and miR-96) could putatively recognize the 3&amp;rsquo;UTR of the GR gene and three miRNAs (miR-363, miR-96, miR-142) contained GREs sequences, thereby potentially enabling direct regulation by the GR. In conclusion, we identified miRNAs differently expressed during GC treatment and miRNAs which could be directly regulated by GCs in blood cells of young IBD patients. These results could represent a first step towards their translation as pharmacogenomic biomarkers.&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/29738455?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Giuffrida, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stocco, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lenti, Marco Vincenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corazza, Gino Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Sabatino, Antonio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">How to predict response to anti-tumour necrosis factor agents in inflammatory bowel disease.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Expert Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Expert Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antibodies, Monoclonal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biological Therapy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gastrointestinal Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inflammatory Bowel Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patient Selection</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prognosis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Treatment Outcome</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%">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%">12</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">797-810</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;Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents have changed the therapeutic approach to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, a considerable proportion of patients either do not primarily respond or lose response to treatment. Despite the long-standing experience in the use of these drugs, still there is the need of identifying the possible predictors of efficacy. Areas covered: We critically review the current knowledge on predictors of response to anti-TNF therapy - both those available in clinical practice and those still under investigation. Multiple factors are involved in treatment success, including disease phenotype and severity, adherence to medications, and pharmacogenomic, pharmacokinetic, and immunologic factors. Literature search was conducted in PubMed using keywords 'inflammatory bowel disease,' 'Crohn's disease,' and 'ulcerative colitis,' matched with 'antitumor necrosis factor,' 'biologic therapy,' 'clinical response,' 'predictors,' and 'efficacy,' Relevant articles were selected for review. Expert commentary: While the role of several factors in clinical practice is clearly established, other investigational markers have been proposed, mostly in small studies, yet for many of them little external validation exists. Therapeutic drug monitoring is emerging as a pivotal strategy to guide decisions in clinical practice. In the near future, novel markers could improve our ability to direct treatment and personalize therapy.&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/29957083?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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, Luisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celsi, Fulvio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bresciani, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Orzan, Eva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grasso, Domenico Leonardo</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%">Human beta defensin-1 is involved in the susceptibility to adeno-tonsillar hypertrophy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int.

Tonsils represent the local immune tissue in oral cavity, being able to provide a non-specific response to pathogens; however, in the presence of microbes or foreign materials present in the mouth tonsils could became infected and develop chronic inflammation, thus leading to hypertrophy. The etiology of the disease is multifactorial depending upon environmental and host factors, the latter including molecules of mucosal innate immunity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Ninety-five children with adeno-tonsillar hypertrophy subjected to adeno-tonsillectomy were recruited at the pediatric otorhinolaryngology service of the Institute for Maternal and Child Health IRCCS Burlo Garofolo, Trieste (Italy). The specimen discarded from the surgery were used for genomic DNA extraction and genotyping, for mRNA extraction and gene expression analysis, finally the samples were cut and used to prepare slides to perform immunohistochemistry.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Functional polymorphisms within DEFB1 gene, encoding the human beta defensin-1 (hBD-1), were analyzed finding association between DEFB1 rare haplotypes and susceptibility to adeno-tonsillar hypertrophy. DEFB1 mRNA expression was detected in the tonsils and the hBD-1 protein was localized at the epithelia of tonsils mainly in the proximity of the basal lamina.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Our findings lead us to hypothesize an involvement of hBD-1 mediated innate immunity in the modulation of the susceptibility towards adeno-tonsillar hypertrophy development.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29501294?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">De Leo, Luigina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Villanacci, Vincenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ziberna, Fabiana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vatta, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelossi, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Leo, Grazia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanchi, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bramuzzo, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giudici, Fabiola</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%">Immunohistologic analysis of the duodenal bulb: a new method for celiac disease diagnosis in children.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gastrointest Endosc</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gastrointest.

However, in atypical forms of CD, intestinal biopsy sampling is still required. This prospective study investigates whether histologic analysis of the duodenal bulb combined with intestinal IgA anti-tTG deposit immunoassay makes CD diagnosis possible in at-risk children with low concentrations of serum anti-tTG.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Histologic and intestinal IgA anti-tTG deposit immunoassays were used.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Two hundred forty-five symptomatic children positive for serum anti-tTG (&gt;7 U/mL) were enrolled and divided into 3 groups: extensive duodenal atrophy (n = 209), with IgA anti-tTG deposits throughout the duodenum and high serum anti-tTG concentrations (157 ± 178 U/mL); bulb duodenal atrophy (n = 22), with widespread IgA anti-tTG deposits in 9 and in the bulb alone in 13 and low serum anti-tTG concentrations (13.9 ± 8.7 U/mL); and normal duodenum (n = 14), with widespread IgA anti-tTG deposits in 8 and in the bulb alone in 6 and low serum anti-tTG concentrations (10.6 ± 6.2 U/mL). All patients in the first 2 groups were diagnosed with CD and 8 from the third group. All improved after 1 year of gluten-free diet. Bulb duodenal analysis led to a 12% (30/245) increase in CD diagnosis. No CD-related lesions were observed in the 30 control subjects.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;In children at risk for CD, bulb duodenum biopsy sampling is essential to identify villous atrophy and detect IgA anti-tTG deposits even in absence of intestinal lesions. These mucosal autoantibodies could well represent a new standard for diagnosing CD.&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/29807020?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Campisciano, Giuseppina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanotta, Nunzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Licastro, Danilo</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%">In vivo microbiome and associated immune markers: New insights into the pathogenesis of vaginal dysbiosis.</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><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biomarkers</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cytokines</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dysbiosis</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%">Microbiota</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Th2 Cells</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vagina</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 02 02</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2307</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 microbiota fulfils a key role in the training and function of the immune system, which contributes to the symbiosis between the host and complex microbial communities. In this study, we characterized the interplay between vaginal bacteria and local immune mediators during dysbiosis in selected women of reproductive age who were grouped according to Nugent's criteria. The abundance of Gardnerella vaginalis and Bifidobacterium breve was increased in the intermediate dysbiotic status, while the presence of a plethora of non-resident bacteria characterized the group with overt vaginosis. In response to these increases, the anti-inflammatory IL1ra and pro-inflammatory IL2 increased, while the embryo trophic factors FGFβ and GMCSF decreased compared to the healthy milieu. A specific pattern, including IL1α, IL1β, IL8, MIG, MIP1α and RANTES, distinguished the intermediate group from the vaginosis group, while IL5 and IL13, which are secreted by Th2 cells, were significantly associated with the perturbation of the commensals Lactobacilli, Gardnerella and Ureaplasma. Summarizing, we postulate that although the dysbiotic condition triggers a pro-inflammatory process, the presence of a steady state level of Th2 may influence clinical manifestations. These results raise clinically relevant questions regarding the use of vaginal immunological markers as efficacious tools to monitor microbial alterations.&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/29396486?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Udina, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calligaris, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berti, Irene</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cattaruzzi, Elisabetta</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%">Inclusion cyst of anterior fontanelle.</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 aimed to assess the differential effect of oral solutions (glucose, breast milk) given alone or combined with the maternal-infant relationship (holding, breastfeeding).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Eighty healthy term newborns undergoing a heel stick were randomly assigned to 4 parallel groups of 20 infants each: group 1, infants received a glucose solution on a changing table; group 2, infants received expressed breast milk on a changing table; group 3, infants received a glucose solution in their mothers' arms; and group 4, infants were breastfed by their mothers. Cortical activation in parietal, temporal, and frontal cortices was assessed by multichannel near-infrared spectroscopy. Pain expression was also evaluated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Oral glucose alone or combined with maternal holding was associated with no cortical activation during heel stick. Expressed breast milk was associated with localized bilateral activation of somatosensory and motor cortices ( &lt; .01). Breastfeeding was associated with extensive bilateral activation of somatomotor, somatosensory, and right parietal cortices ( &lt; .01). Pain expression was lower with the maternal-infant relationship ( = .007).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Oral glucose, either alone or combined with maternal holding, appears to block or weaken cortical pain processing. Breast milk alone is associated with localized cortical activation. Breastfeeding is associated with extensive activation and may act by extending cortical processing. Maternal relationship, both combined with oral glucose and in breastfeeding, shows the greatest analgesic effect, although the neural patterns involved are distributed differently.&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/30166366?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alovisi, Mario</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scotti, Nicola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comba, Allegra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Manzon, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Farina, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pasqualini, Damiano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Michelotto Tempesta, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Breschi, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cadenaro, Milena</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Influence of polymerization time on properties of dual-curing cements in combination with high translucency monolithic zirconia.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Prosthodont Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Prosthodont Res</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Composite Resins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dental Bonding</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dental Cements</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hardness</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lansoprazole</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Materials Testing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polymerization</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Resins, Synthetic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spectrophotometry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Time Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zirconium</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%">62</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">468-472</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;The aim of this in vitro study was to assess conversion degree (DC), micro-hardness (MH) and bond strength of two dual-curing resin cements employed under translucent monolithic zirconia irradiated with different time protocols.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;84 square shaped samples of 1mm thickness were prepared from high translucency zirconia blocks and divided into two groups (n=24) according to the cement employed: (1) Rely-X Ultimate; (2) Panavia SA. Each group was further divided into 3 subgroups (n=8) according to the irradiation time: (a) no light; (b) 20s; (c) 120s. Light curing was performed 60s after the sample was placed on the diamond support of a FT-IR spectrophotometer with a high power multiLED lamp. Final DC% were calculated after 10min. After 24h, Vickers Test on the cement layer was performed. The same protocol was used to lute composite cylinders in order to evaluate microshear bond-strength test. ANOVA and Bonferroni tests were performed to find differences between MH and bond-strength to zirconia, while for DC% the Scheirer-Ray-Hare two-way test was used.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The two cements reached higher DC% in subgroup (b) and (c). As concern MH, statistics showed an increase in curing time was able to improve MH significantly. Bond-strength was not affected by irradiation time only for Panavia SA.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The first null hypothesis has to be rejected since DC% and MH of the dual-cements tested were influenced by the curing time. The second null hypothesis is partially rejected since the bond strength was influenced by the curing time only for Rely-X Ultimate.&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/29983378?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Bua, Jenny</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Massaro, Marta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cossovel, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brovedani, Pierpaolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cozzi, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Demarini, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Travan, Laura</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Intranasal dexmedetomidine, as midazolam-sparing drug, for MRI in preterm neonates.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paediatr Anaesth</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paediatr Anaesth</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 08</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">28</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">747-748</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/30144232?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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.

Populations showing similar ability in tasting PROP bitterness are more similar as respect to vegetable consumption (r = 0.63, p-value = .05). Moreover, a significant negative correlation was found between the percentage of Non Taster (NT) in different countries and the percentage of vegetable consumption (r = -0.87, p-value = .02), while a significant positive correlation emerged between the percentage of Super Taster (ST) and the percentage of vegetable liking (r = 0.87, p-value = .02).

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" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29490094?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanella, Giada</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tornese, Gianluca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mascheroni, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faleschini, Elena</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%">A Klinefelter boy with congenital adrenal hyperplasia: too much or too little androgens?</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%">Adrenal Hyperplasia, Congenital</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Androgens</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Follow-Up Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hormone Replacement Therapy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Klinefelter Syndrome</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rare Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk Assessment</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Testis</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 03</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">44</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">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;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;The simultaneous occurrence of Klinefelter Syndrome (KS) and Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) is an exceptional event: there are just three case reports (two children and a 51 years old man) describing males affected by both KS and 21OHD (21-hydroxylase deficiency) CAH, the first causing androgen deficiency, the latter leading to androgen excess.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CASE REPORT: &lt;/b&gt;We report the 4th case of association of KS and CAH in a young man with CAH with good androgen control and with normal secondary sex characteristics, whose Klinefelter syndrome was diagnosed because of reduced testicular volume. He was the first reported case of association of KS and CAH who started androgen replacement therapy in the pubertal age and whose pubertal development was described and followed up step by step.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;In a boy with CAH and small testicular volume, it's important to consider that hypogonadism may be masked by the adrenal androgens excess and a karyotype should be performed once testicular adrenal rests have been ruled out.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style

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.

Children who are anxious before surgery are likely to develop more postoperative psychological and physiological complications than those who are not. The role parents play in influencing emotional states of their children has been well demonstrated. However, specific national programmes aimed at helping parents develop new models for coping are relatively inexistent in Italy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;STUDY DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;Longitudinal study.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;One hundred and one parents of children undergoing surgery at a healthcare facility in Padua, Italy, completed the Italian version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Form Y questionnaire. They also answered questions about their parents' socio-demographic situation, the amount and quality of preoperative information received, assistance provided and their overall satisfaction with this information.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The preoperative level of anxiety in parents who were interviewed was higher than Italian normative data, especially in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery and Pediatric Urology departments. Mothers had a significantly higher level of anxiety than fathers. Communicating possible complications of surgical procedures increased anxiety, while providing information about pre- and postsurgery nutrition and pain management and providing local anaesthetic on children decreased parental anxiety. Parents expressed a sufficiently high level of satisfaction although they defined the hospital environment as uncomfortable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Aspects of care that can make hospitalisation less traumatic for parents are as follows: greater support, involving them in the treatment process, improving hospital department admission procedures and providing thorough preoperative information.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: &lt;/b&gt;Healthcare professionals are encouraged to pay attention to communication modalities providing detailed information to parents.&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/28544343?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Venturin, Irene</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gianoncelli, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bortul, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zito, Gabriella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giolo, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salomè, Murielle</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bedolla, Diana E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Altissimo, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zweyer, Marina</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%">Light element distribution in fresh and frozen-thawed human ovarian tissues: a preliminary study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reprod Biomed Online</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reprod.

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%">De Rose, Domenico Umberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giliani, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Notarangelo, Lucia Dora</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lougaris, Vassilios</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lanfranchi, Arnalda</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moratto, Daniele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martire, Baldassarre</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Specchia, Fernando</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plebani, Alessandro</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%">Long term outcome of eight patients with type 1 Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency (LAD-1): Not only infections, but high risk of autoimmune complications.</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.

Four LAD-1 patients were treated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), while the remaining four, including two with moderate LAD-1 deficiency, received continuous antibiotic prophylaxis. Untreated patients presented numerous infections and autoimmune manifestations. In particular, two of them developed renal and intestinal autoimmune diseases, despite the expression of Beta-2 integrin was partially conserved. Other two LAD-1 patients developed type 1 diabetes and autoimmune cytopenia after HSCT, suggesting that HSCT is effective for preventing infections in LAD-1, but does not prevent the risk of the autoimmune complications.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29548898?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gratton, Rossella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tricarico, Paola Maura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guimarães, Rafael Lima</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celsi, Fulvio</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%">Lopinavir/Ritonavir Treatment Induces Oxidative Stress and Caspaseindependent Apoptosis in Human Glioblastoma U-87 MG Cell Line.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr HIV Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr.

Nevertheless, studies related to the impact of these compounds on patients, in particular in the foetus and newborns, are strictly required due to the controversial findings reported in the literature concerning possible neurologic side effects following the administration of these drugs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVES: &lt;/b&gt;In our study, we evaluated the impact of LPV/r treatment on the human glioblastoma U- 87 MG cell line.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;In order to evaluate the influence of Lopinavir and Ritonavir in terms of oxidative stress (ROS production), mitochondrial morphology and apoptotic cell death, the latter either in the presence or in the absence of caspase-3 and -9 inhibitors, we treated U-87 MG with increasing doses (0.1-1-10-25-50 µM) of Lopinavir and Ritonavir for 24h, either in single formulation or in combination. ROS production was measured by flow cytometry using H2DCFDA dye, mitochondrial morphology was evaluated using MitoRed dye and apoptotic cell death was monitored by flow cytometry using Annexin V-FITC and Propidium Iodide.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;We observed that co-treatment with Lopinavir and Ritonavir (25 and 50 µM) promoted a significant increase in ROS production, caused mitochondrial network damage and induced apoptosis in a caspase-independent manner.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Based on our findings, concordant with others reported in the literature, we hypothesize that LPV/r treatment could not be entirely free from side effects, being aware of the need of validation in in vivo models, necessary to confirm our results.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;A key component of achieving universal health coverage is ensuring that all populations have access to quality health care. Examining where gains have occurred or progress has faltered across and within countries is crucial to guiding decisions and strategies for future improvement. We used the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2016 (GBD 2016) to assess personal health-care access and quality with the Healthcare Access and Quality (HAQ) Index for 195 countries and territories, as well as subnational locations in seven countries, from 1990 to 2016.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Drawing from established methods and updated estimates from GBD 2016, we used 32 causes from which death should not occur in the presence of effective care to approximate personal health-care access and quality by location and over time. To better isolate potential effects of personal health-care access and quality from underlying risk factor patterns, we risk-standardised cause-specific deaths due to non-cancers by location-year, replacing the local joint exposure of environmental and behavioural risks with the global level of exposure. Supported by the expansion of cancer registry data in GBD 2016, we used mortality-to-incidence ratios for cancers instead of risk-standardised death rates to provide a stronger signal of the effects of personal health care and access on cancer survival. We transformed each cause to a scale of 0-100, with 0 as the first percentile (worst) observed between 1990 and 2016, and 100 as the 99th percentile (best); we set these thresholds at the country level, and then applied them to subnational locations. We applied a principal components analysis to construct the HAQ Index using all scaled cause values, providing an overall score of 0-100 of personal health-care access and quality by location over time. We then compared HAQ Index levels and trends by quintiles on the Socio-demographic Index (SDI), a summary measure of overall development. As derived from the broader GBD study and other data sources, we examined relationships between national HAQ Index scores and potential correlates of performance, such as total health spending per capita.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;In 2016, HAQ Index performance spanned from a high of 97·1 (95% UI 95·8-98·1) in Iceland, followed by 96·6 (94·9-97·9) in Norway and 96·1 (94·5-97·3) in the Netherlands, to values as low as 18·6 (13·1-24·4) in the Central African Republic, 19·0 (14·3-23·7) in Somalia, and 23·4 (20·2-26·8) in Guinea-Bissau. The pace of progress achieved between 1990 and 2016 varied, with markedly faster improvements occurring between 2000 and 2016 for many countries in sub-Saharan Africa and southeast Asia, whereas several countries in Latin America and elsewhere saw progress stagnate after experiencing considerable advances in the HAQ Index between 1990 and 2000. Striking subnational disparities emerged in personal health-care access and quality, with China and India having particularly large gaps between locations with the highest and lowest scores in 2016. In China, performance ranged from 91·5 (89·1-93·6) in Beijing to 48·0 (43·4-53·2) in Tibet (a 43·5-point difference), while India saw a 30·8-point disparity, from 64·8 (59·6-68·8) in Goa to 34·0 (30·3-38·1) in Assam. Japan recorded the smallest range in subnational HAQ performance in 2016 (a 4·8-point difference), whereas differences between subnational locations with the highest and lowest HAQ Index values were more than two times as high for the USA and three times as high for England. State-level gaps in the HAQ Index in Mexico somewhat narrowed from 1990 to 2016 (from a 20·9-point to 17·0-point difference), whereas in Brazil, disparities slightly increased across states during this time (a 17·2-point to 20·4-point difference). Performance on the HAQ Index showed strong linkages to overall development, with high and high-middle SDI countries generally having higher scores and faster gains for non-communicable diseases. Nonetheless, countries across the development spectrum saw substantial gains in some key health service areas from 2000 to 2016, most notably vaccine-preventable diseases. Overall, national performance on the HAQ Index was positively associated with higher levels of total health spending per capita, as well as health systems inputs, but these relationships were quite heterogeneous, particularly among low-to-middle SDI countries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERPRETATION: &lt;/b&gt;GBD 2016 provides a more detailed understanding of past success and current challenges in improving personal health-care access and quality worldwide. Despite substantial gains since 2000, many low-SDI and middle-SDI countries face considerable challenges unless heightened policy action and investments focus on advancing access to and quality of health care across key health services, especially non-communicable diseases. Stagnating or minimal improvements experienced by several low-middle to high-middle SDI countries could reflect the complexities of re-orienting both primary and secondary health-care services beyond the more limited foci of the Millennium Development Goals. Alongside initiatives to strengthen public health programmes, the pursuit of universal health coverage hinges upon improving both access and quality worldwide, and thus requires adopting a more comprehensive view-and subsequent provision-of quality health care for all populations.&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%">10136</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29893224?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GBD 2017 SDG Collaborators</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Measuring progress from 1990 to 2017 and projecting attainment to 2030 of the health-related Sustainable Development Goals for 195 countries and territories: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Global Burden of Disease</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Global Health</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Status</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Status Indicators</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%">Mortality</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sex Offenses</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sustainable Development</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United Nations</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 11 10</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">392</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2091-2138</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;Efforts to establish the 2015 baseline and monitor early implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) highlight both great potential for and threats to improving health by 2030. To fully deliver on the SDG aim of &quot;leaving no one behind&quot;, it is increasingly important to examine the health-related SDGs beyond national-level estimates. As part of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2017 (GBD 2017), we measured progress on 41 of 52 health-related SDG indicators and estimated the health-related SDG index for 195 countries and territories for the period 1990-2017, projected indicators to 2030, and analysed global attainment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We measured progress on 41 health-related SDG indicators from 1990 to 2017, an increase of four indicators since GBD 2016 (new indicators were health worker density, sexual violence by non-intimate partners, population census status, and prevalence of physical and sexual violence [reported separately]). We also improved the measurement of several previously reported indicators. We constructed national-level estimates and, for a subset of health-related SDGs, examined indicator-level differences by sex and Socio-demographic Index (SDI) quintile. We also did subnational assessments of performance for selected countries. To construct the health-related SDG index, we transformed the value for each indicator on a scale of 0-100, with 0 as the 2·5th percentile and 100 as the 97·5th percentile of 1000 draws calculated from 1990 to 2030, and took the geometric mean of the scaled indicators by target. To generate projections through 2030, we used a forecasting framework that drew estimates from the broader GBD study and used weighted averages of indicator-specific and country-specific annualised rates of change from 1990 to 2017 to inform future estimates. We assessed attainment of indicators with defined targets in two ways: first, using mean values projected for 2030, and then using the probability of attainment in 2030 calculated from 1000 draws. We also did a global attainment analysis of the feasibility of attaining SDG targets on the basis of past trends. Using 2015 global averages of indicators with defined SDG targets, we calculated the global annualised rates of change required from 2015 to 2030 to meet these targets, and then identified in what percentiles the required global annualised rates of change fell in the distribution of country-level rates of change from 1990 to 2015. We took the mean of these global percentile values across indicators and applied the past rate of change at this mean global percentile to all health-related SDG indicators, irrespective of target definition, to estimate the equivalent 2030 global average value and percentage change from 2015 to 2030 for each indicator.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;The global median health-related SDG index in 2017 was 59·4 (IQR 35·4-67·3), ranging from a low of 11·6 (95% uncertainty interval 9·6-14·0) to a high of 84·9 (83·1-86·7). SDG index values in countries assessed at the subnational level varied substantially, particularly in China and India, although scores in Japan and the UK were more homogeneous. Indicators also varied by SDI quintile and sex, with males having worse outcomes than females for non-communicable disease (NCD) mortality, alcohol use, and smoking, among others. Most countries were projected to have a higher health-related SDG index in 2030 than in 2017, while country-level probabilities of attainment by 2030 varied widely by indicator. Under-5 mortality, neonatal mortality, maternal mortality ratio, and malaria indicators had the most countries with at least 95% probability of target attainment. Other indicators, including NCD mortality and suicide mortality, had no countries projected to meet corresponding SDG targets on the basis of projected mean values for 2030 but showed some probability of attainment by 2030. For some indicators, including child malnutrition, several infectious diseases, and most violence measures, the annualised rates of change required to meet SDG targets far exceeded the pace of progress achieved by any country in the recent past. We found that applying the mean global annualised rate of change to indicators without defined targets would equate to about 19% and 22% reductions in global smoking and alcohol consumption, respectively; a 47% decline in adolescent birth rates; and a more than 85% increase in health worker density per 1000 population by 2030.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERPRETATION: &lt;/b&gt;The GBD study offers a unique, robust platform for monitoring the health-related SDGs across demographic and geographic dimensions. Our findings underscore the importance of increased collection and analysis of disaggregated data and highlight where more deliberate design or targeting of interventions could accelerate progress in attaining the SDGs. Current projections show that many health-related SDG indicators, NCDs, NCD-related risks, and violence-related indicators will require a concerted shift away from what might have driven past gains-curative interventions in the case of NCDs-towards multisectoral, prevention-oriented policy action and investments to achieve SDG aims. Notably, several targets, if they are to be met by 2030, demand a pace of progress that no country has achieved in the recent past. The future is fundamentally uncertain, and no model can fully predict what breakthroughs or events might alter the course of the SDGs. What is clear is that our actions-or inaction-today will ultimately dictate how close the world, collectively, can get to leaving no one behind by 2030.&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%">10159</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30496107?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Grandone, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cirillo, Grazia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sasso, Marcella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Capristo, Carlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tornese, Gianluca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marzuillo, Pierluigi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Luongo, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rosaria Umano, Giuseppina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Festa, Adalgisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coppola, Ruggero</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miraglia Del Giudice, Emanuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Perrone, Laura</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MKRN3 levels in girls with central precocious puberty and correlation with sexual hormone levels: a pilot study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Endocrine</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Endocrine</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent Nutritional Physiological Phenomena</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anti-Mullerian Hormone</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Case-Control Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</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%">Cross-Sectional Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Follicle Stimulating Hormone</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Luteinizing Hormone</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pilot Projects</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Puberty, Precocious</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ribonucleoproteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sexual Maturation</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 01</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">59</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">203-208</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;Recently, mutations of makorin RING-finger protein 3 (MKRN3) have been described in familial central precocious puberty. Serum levels of this protein decline before the pubertal onset in healthy girls and boys. The aim of the study is to investigate MKRN3 circulating levels in patients with central precocious puberty.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We performed an observational cross-sectional study. We enrolled 17 patients with central precocious puberty aged 7 years (range: 2-8 years) and breast development onset &lt;8 years; 17 prepubertal control age-matched patients aged 6.3 years (2-8.2); and 10 pubertal stage-matched control patients aged 11.4 years (9-14). Serum values of MKRN3, gonadotropins, (17)estradiol and Anti-Müllerian Hormone were evaluated and the MKRN3 genotyped in central precocious puberty patients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;No MKRN3 mutation was found among central precocious puberty patients. MKRN3 levels were lower in patients with central precocious puberty compared to prepubertal age-matched ones (p: 0.0004) and comparable to those matched for pubertal stage. MKRN3 levels were inversely correlated to Body Mass Index Standard Deviations (r:-0.35; p:0.02), Luteinizing Hormone (r:-0.35; p:0.03), FSH (r:-0.37; p:0.02), and (17)estradiol (r: -0.36; p:0.02).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;We showed that girls with central precocious puberty had lower peripheral levels of MKRN3 compared to age-matched pairs and that they negatively correlated to gonadotropins, estrogen, and BMI. Our findings support the MKRN3 involvement in central precocious puberty also in absence of deleterious mutations, although our sample size is small. In addition our data suggest the role of MKRN3 in the complex mechanism controlling puberty onset and its interaction with other factors affecting puberty such as nutrition.&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/28299573?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grandone, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cirillo, Grazia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sasso, Marcella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tornese, Gianluca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Luongo, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Festa, Adalgisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marzuillo, Pierluigi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miraglia Del Giudice, Emanuele</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MKRN3 Levels in Girls with Central Precocious Puberty during GnRHa Treatment: A Longitudinal Study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Horm Res Paediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Horm Res Paediatr</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brain Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Case-Control Studies</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%">Follicle Stimulating Hormone</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genotype</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Longitudinal Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Luteinizing Hormone</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Puberty, Precocious</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ribonucleoproteins</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%">90</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">190-195</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;Recently, mutations of makorin RING finger protein 3 (MKRN3) have been identified in familial central precocious puberty (CPP). Serum levels of this protein decline before the pubertal onset in healthy girls and boys and are lower in patients with CPP compared to prepubertal matched pairs. The aim of our study was to investigate longitudinal changes in circulating MKRN3 levels in patients with CPP before and during GnRH analogs (GnRHa) treatment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We performed a longitudinal prospective study. We enrolled 15 patients with CPP aged 7.2 years (range: 2-8) with age at breast development onset &lt; 8 years and 12 control girls matched for the time from puberty onset (mean age 11.8 ± 1.2 years). Serum values of MKRN3, gonadotropins, and 17β-estradiol were evaluated before and during treatment with GnRHa (at 6 and 12 months). The MKRN3 gene was genotyped in CPP patients. In the girls from the control group, only basal levels were analyzed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;No MKRN3 mutations were found among CPP patients. MKRN3 levels declined significantly from baseline to 6 months of GnRHa treatment (p = 0.0007) and from 6 to 12 months of treatment (p = 0.003); MKRN3 levels at 6 months were significantly lower than in the control girls (p &lt; 0.0001).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;We showed that girls with CPP had a decline in peripheral levels of MKRN3 during GnRHa treatment.

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%">Benini, Franca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Castagno, Emanuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Congedi, Sabrina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Urbino, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biban, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calistri, Lucia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mancusi, Rossella Letizia</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Multicentre emergency department study found that paracetamol and ibuprofen were inappropriately used in 83% and 63% of paediatric cases.</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%">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%">107</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1766-1774</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 Pain Practice in Italian Paediatric Emergency Departments assessed how appropriately analgesic drugs were being used by Italian clinicians, based on national paediatric pain guidelines.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;This was a retrospective study that involved 17 Italian members of the Pain In Pediatric Emergency Rooms group. It comprised patients up to the age of 14 years who came to hospital emergency departments with pain and were treated with paracetamol, ibuprofen or opioids, such as codeine, tramadol and morphine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;We studied 1471 patients who were given 1593 doses of analgesics. The median time to administration of analgesia was 25 minutes. Opioids were used in 13.5% of the children, and usage increased with age and with more severe clinical conditions, such as trauma: 1.6% of children under two years, 5.9% aged 3-10 and 8.0% aged 11-14. Inappropriate doses of paracetamol, ibuprofen and opioids were used in 83%, 63% and 33% of cases, respectively. The patient's age was a critical determinant of the correct analgesic dosage; for every one-year increase in the patient's age, the probability of appropriate prescriptions rose 14.8%.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;The appropriate use of paracetamol and ibuprofen for paediatric pain in Italian emergency departments was very poor, but improved with age.&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/29505669?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Matarazzo, Lorenza</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Assandro, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelossi, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maggiore, Giuseppe</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%">Multiple successful pregnancies in a woman with biliary atresia and native liver.</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.

Non-muscle myosin IIA functions are regulated by phosphorylation of its 20 kDa light chain, of the heavy chain, and by interactions with other proteins. Variants of MYH9 cause an autosomal-dominant disorder, termed MYH9-related disease, and may be involved in other conditions, such as chronic kidney disease, non-syndromic deafness, and cancer. This review discusses the structure of the MYH9 gene and its protein, as well as the regulation and physiologic functions of non-muscle myosin IIA with particular reference to embryonic development.

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" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30203192?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Loganes, Claudia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valencic, Erica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piscianz, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bilel, Sabrine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bortul, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celeghini, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zweyer, Marina</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%">Neuronal Dysfunction Associated with Cholesterol Deregulation.</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%">Anticholesteremic Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Line, Tumor</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cholesterol</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Electron Transport</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lovastatin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mitochondria</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neurons</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neuroprotective Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organophosphorus Compounds</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ubiquinone</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 19</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;Cholesterol metabolism is crucial for cells and, in particular, its biosynthesis in the central nervous system occurs in situ, and its deregulation involves morphological changes that cause functional variations and trigger programmed cell death. The pathogenesis of rare diseases, such as Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency or Smith⁻Lemli⁻Opitz Syndrome, arises due to enzymatic defects in the cholesterol metabolic pathways, resulting in a shortage of downstream products. The most severe clinical manifestations of these diseases appear as neurological defects. Expanding the knowledge of this biological mechanism will be useful for identifying potential targets and preventing neuronal damage. Several studies have demonstrated that deregulation of the cholesterol pathway induces mitochondrial dysfunction as the result of respiratory chain damage. We set out to determine whether mitochondrial damage may be prevented by using protective mitochondria-targeted compounds, such as MitoQ, in a neuronal cell line treated with a statin to induce a biochemical block of the cholesterol pathway. Evidence from the literature suggests that mitochondria play a crucial role in the apoptotic mechanism secondary to blocking the cholesterol pathway. Our study shows that MitoQ, administered as a preventive agent, could counteract the cell damage induced by statins in the early stages, but its protective role fades over time.&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/29783748?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Noris, Patrizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marconi, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Rocco, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Melazzini, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pippucci, Tommaso</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Loffredo, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giangregorio, Tania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecci, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seri, Marco</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%">A new form of inherited thrombocytopenia due to monoallelic loss of function mutation in the thrombopoietin gene.</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.

This process of 'fetal programming' is mediated by the effects of the prenatal experience on the developing hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and autonomic nervous system (ANS). We derive a multi-scale multi-species approach to devising preclinical and clinical studies to identify early non-invasively available pre- and postnatal biomarkers of PS. The multiple scales include brain epigenome, metabolome, microbiome and the ANS activity gauged via an array of advanced non-invasively obtainable properties of fetal heart rate fluctuations. The proposed framework has the potential to reveal mechanistic links between maternal stress during pregnancy and changes across these physiological scales. Such biomarkers may hence be useful as early and non-invasive predictors of neurodevelopmental trajectories influenced by the PS as well as follow-up indicators of success of therapeutic interventions to correct such altered neurodevelopmental trajectories. PS studies must be conducted on multiple scales derived from concerted observations in multiple animal models and human cohorts performed in an interactive and iterative manner and deploying machine learning for data synthesis, identification and validation of the best non-invasive detection and follow-up biomarkers, a prerequisite for designing effective therapeutic interventions.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><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" font="default" size="100%">16</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30157987?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ottaviano, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salvatore, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salvatoni, Alessandro</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%">Naviglio, Samuele</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ocular Manifestations of Paediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Crohns Colitis</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Crohns Colitis</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cataract</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%">Colitis, Ulcerative</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crohn Disease</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eye Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prevalence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Uveitis</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 Jun 28</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">870-879</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 and Aims: &lt;/b&gt;Ocular extraintestinal manifestations [O-EIMs] are known complications of Crohn's disease [CD], ulcerative colitis [UC], and inflammatory bowel disease unclassified [IBD-U]. However, data on their prevalence in children are scarce and there are no clear recommendations on what follow-up should be offered. We aimed to review available data on O-EIMs in children.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Methods: &lt;/b&gt;In January 2018, we performed a systematic review of published English literature using PubMed and EMBASE databases and disease-specific queries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Results: &lt;/b&gt;Fifteen studies [7467 patients] reported data on O-EIMs prevalence in children. Overall prevalence of O-EIMs was 0.62-1.82%. Uveitis was the most common O-EIM. Meta-analysis showed that children with CD are at increased risk of O-EIMs as compared with children with UC and IBD-U (odds ratio [OR] 2.70, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.51-4.83). Five studies [357 patients] reported data on ophthalmological screening in asymptomatic children: mild asymptomatic uveitis was identified in a variable proportion of patients [1.06-23.1%], more frequently in male patients with CD and colonic involvement. No evidence of ocular complications from untreated uveitis was detected. A total of 23 case reports [24 patients] were identified.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/b&gt;Data on O-EIMs in children are scarce. Prevalence of O-EIMs is lower than in adults but may be underestimated because of the possibility of asymptomatic uveitis; however, the long-term significance of this condition is unknown. Children with CD may be at increased risk of O-EIMs. No recommendations on routine ophthalmological examination can be made, but a low threshold for ophthalmological referral should be maintained.

The scientific evidence in this context are very deficient and, in order to obtain welfare objectives consistent with the situation, in the overwhelming majority of cases the prescription of drugs is off-label for indication of use and/or for age and/or for way of administration and/or formulation. The Agenzia Italiana del Farmaco - AIFA and the Italian Society of Palliative Care (Società Italiana di Cure Palliative - SICP), under a dedicated working group, wrote a document that collects the scientific evidence available to support the off-label use of medicines more frequently used in PPC. The goal is to certify the consolidated off-label use of these drugs and propose their use under the Law 648/96, in the absence of data from its pivotal clinical trials. Aim of the commentary is to report the conditions for this important work and to present the 10 drugs, usually used off-label in PPC and in pain therapy, now included in Law 648/96.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;This work is deemed essential to resolve, at least in part, the lack of availability of medicines researched and approved.&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/30486873?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Borgo, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cossio, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gallone, Denise</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vittoria, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carbone, Marco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Orthopaedic challenges for mucopolysaccharidoses.</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%">Bone Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mucopolysaccharidoses</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Orthopedic Procedures</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 Nov 16</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">44</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">123</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a group of diseases characterized by abnormal accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Although there are differences among the various disease types, the osteoarticular system is always involved. The aim of the present study was to establish a framework for MPS-related orthopaedic manifestations and for their treatment. The authors, affiliated to three different Italian Orthopaedic Centres, report data taken from the literature reviewed in light of their accumulated professional experience. Bone alterations make up what is known as dysostosis multiplex, involving the trunk and limbs and with typical radiological findings. Joints are affected by pathological tissue infiltrations. The cervical spinal cord is involved, with stenosis and cervical and occipitocervical instability. In MPS there is a much higher incidence of scoliosis compared with healthy subjects without any particular distinctive feature. Kyphosis of the spine is more frequent and also more severe because of its possible neurological complications, and it is localized at the thoracolumbar level with a malformed vertebra at the top of the deformity. Evolving forms, and those associated with neurological damage, require anteroposterior spine fusion. The hip is invariably involved, with dysplasia affecting the femoral neck (coxa valga), the femoral epiphysis (loss of sphericity, osteonecrosis), and the femoral acetabulum which is flared. All these features explain the tendency to progressive hip migration. Genu valgum is often found (a deviation of the physiological axis with an obtuse angle opening laterally). This deformity is often localized at the proximal tibial metaphysis; it causes functional limitations and leads to an irregular erosion of the articular cartilage. In young patients who still have the growth plate, it is possible to execute a medial hemiepiphysiodesis, a temporary inhibition of cartilage growth, with progressive axis correction. In this paper, the characterisation of clinical features and the review of treatments are divided into separate sections based on the part of the body involved. The conclusions of each section are presented as a summary. One section discusses the high risk of anaesthesia-related complications requiring the collaboration of specifically trained personnel.&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%">Princivalle, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Butturini, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bassi, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Perbellini, Luigi</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma can be detected by analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in alveolar air.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC Cancer</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC 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 May 04</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">529</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;In the last decade many studies showed that the exhaled breath of subjects suffering from several pathological conditions has a peculiar volatile organic compound (VOC) profile. The objective of the present work was to analyse the VOCs in alveolar air to build a diagnostic tool able to identify the presence of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in patients with histologically confirmed disease.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;The concentration of 92 compounds was measured in the end-tidal breath of 65 cases and 102 controls. VOCs were measured with an ion-molecule reaction mass spectrometry. To distinguish between subjects with pancreatic adenocarcinomas and controls, an iterated Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator multivariate Logistic Regression model was elaborated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The final predictive model, based on 10 VOCs, significantly and independently associated with the outcome had a sensitivity and specificity of 100 and 84% respectively, and an area under the ROC curve of 0.99. For further validation, the model was run on 50 other subjects: 24 cases and 26 controls; 23 patients with histological diagnosis of pancreatic adenocarcinomas and 25 controls were correctly identified by the model.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Pancreatic cancer is able to alter the concentration of some molecules in the blood and hence of VOCs in the alveolar air in equilibrium. The detection and statistical rendering of alveolar VOC composition can be useful for the clinical diagnostic approach of pancreatic neoplasms with excellent sensitivity and specificity.&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/29728093?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Lucafò, Marianna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Franca, Raffaella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Selvestrel, Davide</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curci, Debora</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pugnetti, Letizia</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%">Pharmacogenetics of treatments for inflammatory bowel disease.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Expert Opin Drug Metab Toxicol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Expert Opin Drug Metab Toxicol</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dose-Response Relationship, Drug</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epigenesis, Genetic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gastrointestinal Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Markers</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%">Inflammatory Bowel Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pharmacogenetics</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%">14</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1209-1223</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;INTRODUCTION: &lt;/b&gt;Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic inflammation of the gut whose pathogenesis is still unclear. Although no curative therapy is currently available, a number of drugs are used in induction and maintenance therapy; however, for most of these drugs, a high inter-individual variability in response is observed. Among the factors of this variability, genetics plays an important role. Areas covered: This review summarizes the results of pharmacogenetic studies, considering the most important drugs used and in particular aminosalycilates, glucocorticoids, thiopurines, monoclonal antibodies and thalidomide. Most studies used a candidate gene approach, even if significant breakthroughs have been obtained recently from applying genome-wide studies. When available, also investigations considering epigenetics and pharmacogenetic dosing guidelines have been included. Expert opinion: Only for thiopurines, genetic markers identified as predictors of efficacy or adverse events have allowed the development of dosing guidelines. For the other drugs, encouraging results are available and great expectations rely on the study of epigenetics and integration with pharmacokinetic information, especially useful for biologics. However, to improve therapy of IBD patients with these drugs, for implementation in the clinics of pharmacogenetics, informatic clinical decision support systems and training about pharmacogenetics of health providers are needed.&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/30465611?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30534349?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GBD 2017 Population and Fertility Collaborators</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Population and fertility by age and sex for 195 countries and territories, 1950-2017: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</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%">Birth Rate</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%">Global Burden of Disease</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Global Health</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%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maternal Age</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mortality</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Population Density</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Population Growth</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Young Adult</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 11 10</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">392</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1995-2051</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;Population estimates underpin demographic and epidemiological research and are used to track progress on numerous international indicators of health and development. To date, internationally available estimates of population and fertility, although useful, have not been produced with transparent and replicable methods and do not use standardised estimates of mortality. We present single-calendar year and single-year of age estimates of fertility and population by sex with standardised and replicable methods.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We estimated population in 195 locations by single year of age and single calendar year from 1950 to 2017 with standardised and replicable methods. We based the estimates on the demographic balancing equation, with inputs of fertility, mortality, population, and migration data. Fertility data came from 7817 location-years of vital registration data, 429 surveys reporting complete birth histories, and 977 surveys and censuses reporting summary birth histories. We estimated age-specific fertility rates (ASFRs; the annual number of livebirths to women of a specified age group per 1000 women in that age group) by use of spatiotemporal Gaussian process regression and used the ASFRs to estimate total fertility rates (TFRs; the average number of children a woman would bear if she survived through the end of the reproductive age span [age 10-54 years] and experienced at each age a particular set of ASFRs observed in the year of interest). Because of sparse data, fertility at ages 10-14 years and 50-54 years was estimated from data on fertility in women aged 15-19 years and 45-49 years, through use of linear regression. Age-specific mortality data came from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2017 estimates. Data on population came from 1257 censuses and 761 population registry location-years and were adjusted for underenumeration and age misreporting with standard demographic methods. Migration was estimated with the GBD Bayesian demographic balancing model, after incorporating information about refugee migration into the model prior. Final population estimates used the cohort-component method of population projection, with inputs of fertility, mortality, and migration data. Population uncertainty was estimated by use of out-of-sample predictive validity testing. With these data, we estimated the trends in population by age and sex and in fertility by age between 1950 and 2017 in 195 countries and territories.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;From 1950 to 2017, TFRs decreased by 49·4% (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 46·4-52·0). The TFR decreased from 4·7 livebirths (4·5-4·9) to 2·4 livebirths (2·2-2·5), and the ASFR of mothers aged 10-19 years decreased from 37 livebirths (34-40) to 22 livebirths (19-24) per 1000 women. Despite reductions in the TFR, the global population has been increasing by an average of 83·8 million people per year since 1985. The global population increased by 197·2% (193·3-200·8) since 1950, from 2·6 billion (2·5-2·6) to 7·6 billion (7·4-7·9) people in 2017; much of this increase was in the proportion of the global population in south Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. The global annual rate of population growth increased between 1950 and 1964, when it peaked at 2·0%; this rate then remained nearly constant until 1970 and then decreased to 1·1% in 2017. Population growth rates in the southeast Asia, east Asia, and Oceania GBD super-region decreased from 2·5% in 1963 to 0·7% in 2017, whereas in sub-Saharan Africa, population growth rates were almost at the highest reported levels ever in 2017, when they were at 2·7%. The global average age increased from 26·6 years in 1950 to 32·1 years in 2017, and the proportion of the population that is of working age (age 15-64 years) increased from 59·9% to 65·3%. At the national level, the TFR decreased in all countries and territories between 1950 and 2017; in 2017, TFRs ranged from a low of 1·0 livebirths (95% UI 0·9-1·2) in Cyprus to a high of 7·1 livebirths (6·8-7·4) in Niger. The TFR under age 25 years (TFU25; number of livebirths expected by age 25 years for a hypothetical woman who survived the age group and was exposed to current ASFRs) in 2017 ranged from 0·08 livebirths (0·07-0·09) in South Korea to 2·4 livebirths (2·2-2·6) in Niger, and the TFR over age 30 years (TFO30; number of livebirths expected for a hypothetical woman ageing from 30 to 54 years who survived the age group and was exposed to current ASFRs) ranged from a low of 0·3 livebirths (0·3-0·4) in Puerto Rico to a high of 3·1 livebirths (3·0-3·2) in Niger. TFO30 was higher than TFU25 in 145 countries and territories in 2017. 33 countries had a negative population growth rate from 2010 to 2017, most of which were located in central, eastern, and western Europe, whereas population growth rates of more than 2·0% were seen in 33 of 46 countries in sub-Saharan Africa. In 2017, less than 65% of the national population was of working age in 12 of 34 high-income countries, and less than 50% of the national population was of working age in Mali, Chad, and Niger.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERPRETATION: &lt;/b&gt;Population trends create demographic dividends and headwinds (ie, economic benefits and detriments) that affect national economies and determine national planning needs. Although TFRs are decreasing, the global population continues to grow as mortality declines, with diverse patterns at the national level and across age groups. To our knowledge, this is the first study to provide transparent and replicable estimates of population and fertility, which can be used to inform decision making and to monitor progress.&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%">10159</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30496106?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Vicario, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Leo, Luigina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bonifacio, Alois</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Not, Tarcisio</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%">Potential use of MCR-ALS for the identification of coeliac-related biochemical changes in hyperspectral Raman maps from pediatric intestinal biopsies.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Integr Biol (Camb)</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Integr Biol (Camb)</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 06 18</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">356-363</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Raman hyperspectral imaging is an emerging practice in biological and biomedical research for label free analysis of tissues and cells. Using this method, both spatial distribution and spectral information of analyzed samples can be obtained. The current study reports the first Raman microspectroscopic characterisation of colon tissues from patients with Coeliac Disease (CD). The aim was to assess if Raman imaging coupled with hyperspectral multivariate image analysis is capable of detecting the alterations in the biochemical composition of intestinal tissues associated with CD. The analytical approach was based on a multi-step methodology: duodenal biopsies from healthy and coeliac patients were measured and processed with Multivariate Curve Resolution Alternating Least Squares (MCR-ALS). Based on the distribution maps and the pure spectra of the image constituents obtained from MCR-ALS, interesting biochemical differences between healthy and coeliac patients has been derived. Noticeably, a reduced distribution of complex lipids in the pericryptic space, and a different distribution and abundance of proteins rich in beta-sheet structures was found in CD patients. The output of the MCR-ALS analysis was then used as a starting point for two clustering algorithms (k-means clustering and hierarchical clustering methods). Both methods converged with similar results providing precise segmentation over multiple Raman images of studied tissues.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><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%">Wanzira, Humphrey</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Muyinda, Richard</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lochoro, Peter</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Putoto, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segafredo, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wamani, Henry</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lazzerini, Marzia</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality of care for children with acute malnutrition at health center level in Uganda: a cross sectional study in West Nile region during the refugee crisis.</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><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child Nutrition Disorders</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cross-Sectional Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Facilities</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nutrition Assessment</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nutritional Status</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prevalence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality of Health Care</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Refugee Camps</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Refugees</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Uganda</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 07 17</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">561</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;Arua district, in Uganda, hosts some of the largest refugee camps in the country. The estimated prevalence of moderate and severe acute malnutrition in children is higher than the national estimates (10.4 and 5.6% respectively, compared to 3.6 and 1.3%). This study aimed at assessing the quality of care provided to children with acute malnutrition at out-patient level in such a setting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Six facilities with the highest number of children with malnutrition were selected. The main tool used was the National Nutrition Service Delivery Assessment Tool, assessing 10 key areas of service delivery and assigned a score as either poor, fair, good or excellent. Health outcomes, quality of case management and data quality were assessed from the health management information system and from the official nutrition registers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;All facilities except two scored either poor or fair under all the 10 assessment areas. Overall, 33/60 (55%) areas scored as poor, 25/60 (41%) as fair, 2/60 (3.3%) as good, and none as excellent. Main gaps identified included: lack of trained staff; disorganised patient flow; poor case management; stock out of essential supplies including ready-to-use therapeutic foods; weak community linkage. A sample coverage of 45.4% (1020/2248) of total children admitted in the district during the 2016 financial year were included. The overall mean cure rate was 52.9% while the default rate was 38.3%. There was great heterogeneity across health facilities in health outcomes, quality of case management, and data quality.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;This study suggests that quality of care provided to children with malnutrition at health center level is substandard with unacceptable low cure rates. It is essential to identify effective approaches to enhance adherence to national guidelines, provision of essential nutritional commodities, regular monitoring of services and better linkage with the community through village health teams.&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/30016954?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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.

Preterm infants who survive their first month of life are at greater risk for various diseases and impairments in infancy, childhood and later life, representing a heavy social and economic burden for families, communities and health and social systems. Kangaroo mother care (KMC) is recommended as a beneficial and effective intervention for improving short- and long-term preterm birth outcomes in low- and high-income settings. Nevertheless, KMC is not as widely used as it should be. The International Network on KMC runs biennial workshops and congresses to help improve the coverage and quality of KMC worldwide. This paper reports the results of the two-day workshop held in November 2016, where 92 participants from 33 countries shared experiences in a series of round tables, group work sessions and plenaries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;Barriers to and enablers of KMC are discussed with regard to parents, health workers and the health system. Key factors for effective implementation and uptake relate to appropriate training for health staff, adherence to protocols and the creation of a welcoming environment for families. Recommendations for planning for national programmes are made according to a six-stage change model. Resources and the cost of making progress are discussed in terms of investment, maintenance, and acceleration and scaling-up costs. KMC training requirements are presented according to three levels of care. To ensure quality KMC, key requisites are proposed for the different KMC components and for sensitive communication with caregivers. The group attending to the monitoring and evaluation of KMC at a national and subnational level highlight the lack of standard indicator definitions. Key priorities for investment include health services research, harmonisation of indicators, development of a costing tool, programming and scaling up, and the follow-up of preterm infants.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;It is hoped that this report will help to further scale-up and sustain KMC through a systematic approach that includes raising commitment, identifying key strategies to address the main barriers and using existing facilitators, ensuring training and quality, agreeing on indicators for monitoring and evaluation, and advancing implementation research.&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/29769056?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Loganes, Claudia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celeghini, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kleiner, Giulio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Repositioning of Tak-475 In Mevalonate Kinase Disease: Translating Theory Into Practice.</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.

In MKD, defective function of the enzyme mevalonate kinase, due to a mutation in the MVK gene, leads to the shortage of mevalonate- derived intermediates, which results in unbalanced prenylation of proteins and altered metabolism of sterols. These defects lead to a complex multisystem inflammatory and metabolic syndrome.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;Although biologic therapies aimed at blocking the inflammatory cytokine interleukin- 1 can significantly reduce inflammation, they cannot completely control the clinical symptoms that affect the nervous system. For this reason, MKD can still be considered an orphan drug disease. The availability of MKD models reproducing the MKD-systematic inflammation, is crucial to improve the knowledge on its pathogenesis, which is still unknown. New therapies are also required in order to improve pateints' conditions and their quality of life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;MKD-cellular models can be obtained by biochemical inhibition of mevalonatederived isoprenoids. Of note, these cells present an exaggerated response to inflammatory stimuli that can be reduced by treatment with zaragozic acid, an inhibitor of squalene synthase, thus increasing the availability of isoprenoids intermediates upstream the enzymatic block.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;A similar action might be obtained by lapaquistat acetate (TAK-475, Takeda), a drug that underwent extensive clinical trials as a cholesterol lowering agent 10 years ago, with a good safety profile.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Here we describe the preclinical evidence supporting the possible repositioning of TAK-475 from its originally intended use to the treatment of MKD and discuss its potential to modulate the mevalonate pathway in inflammatory diseases.&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/28901277?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Peterlunger, Isabel</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">La Rosa, Valentina Lucia</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%">Valenti, Gaetano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sapia, Fabrizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Angioli, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lopez, Salvatore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sarpietro, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rossetti, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zito, Gabriella</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The Role of Oxidative Stress and Membrane Transport Systems during Endometriosis: A Fresh Look at a Busy Corner.</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%">Endometriosis</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%">Oxidative Stress</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%">7924021</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Endometriosis is a condition characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, leading to a chronic inflammatory reaction. 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.

Inflammatory molecules, such as cytokines and growth factors in the circulation, can be useful in the diagnosis and prognosis of the patients. The stem cell growth factor beta (SCGF), a newly found protein, is a secreted sulfated glycoprotein and it functions as a growth factor for primitive hematopoietic progenitor cells. The level of SCGF had been reported to be elevated in several cancer types. However, there is very few or even no information on this protein in the study of HCC, even more in clinical studies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Methods: &lt;/b&gt;A multiplex immunoassay panel of 48 cytokines and growth factors were utilized to screen 68 sera from 29 HCC patients at pretreatment (T0), 1 month (T1), and 6 months (T6) after treatment by either radiofrequency ablation (RF) or transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). Treatment response was evaluated according to mRECIST criteria.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Results: &lt;/b&gt;Immunoassay screening showed that the levels of IL-17, CTACK, TNF, IL-2R, IL-8, and SCGF were different in Complete Responders (CR) and Nonresponders (NR) groups. At T0 and T1, the SCGF level was significantly the highest in NR (23.8 and 40.7 ng/mL, respectively), followed by early recurrence (25.4 and 25.0 ng/mL), and CR (6.7 and 5.3 ng/mL), independently from HCV, stages, and treatment type. Low basal SCGF level was associated with longer disease-free survival compared to high SCGF.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/b&gt;In this study, for the first time, we demonstrate that the high level of serum SCGF at pre- and posttreatment is associated with HCC nonresponsiveness.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30246025?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poropat, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cozzi, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Magnolato, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Borrometi, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Krauss, Baruch</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%">Teaching pain recognition through art: the Ramsay-Caravaggio sedation scale.</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%">Clinical Competence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Conscious Sedation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Deep Sedation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Education, Medical, Graduate</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hospitals, University</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Internship and Residency</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%">Medicine in the Arts</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monitoring, Physiologic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pain Measurement</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paintings</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatrics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Video Recording</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 Jan 31</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">44</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">20</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;Clinical observation is a key component of medical ability, enabling immediate evaluation of the patient's emotional state and contributing to a clinical clue that leads to final decision making. In medical schools, the art of learning to look can be taught using medical humanities and especially visual arts. By presenting a Ramsay sedation score (RSS) integrated with Caravaggio's paintings during a procedural sedation conference for pediatric residents, we want to test the effectiveness of this approach to improve the quality of learning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;In this preliminary study, we presented videos showing sedated pediatric patients in the setting of a procedural sedation lesson to two randomized groups of residents, one attending a lesson on RSS explained through the masterpieces of Caravaggio, the other without artistic support. A week later we tested their learning with ten multi-choice questions focused on theoretical questions about sedation monitoring and ten more questions focused on recognizing the appropriate RSS viewing the videos. The primary outcome was the comparison of the total number of RSS layers properly recognized in both groups. We also evaluated the appreciation of the residents of the use of works of art integrated with the lesson.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Eleven students were randomized to each group. Two residents in the standard lesson did not attend the test. The percentage of correct answers on the theoretical part was similar, 82% in the art group and 89% in the other (p &gt; 0.05). No difference was found in the video recognition part of the RSS recognition test. Residents exposed to paintings shown great appreciation for the integration of the lesson with the Caravaggio's masterpieces.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Adding artwork to a standard medical conference does not improve the performance of student tests, although this approach has been greatly appreciated by residents.&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/29386058?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valencic, Erica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grasso, Antonio Giacomo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Conversano, Ester</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lucafò, Marianna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piscianz, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gregori, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Conti, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cancrini, Caterina</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%">Theophylline as a precision therapy in a young girl with PIK3R1 immunodeficiency.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract</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 - Dec</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2165-2167</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><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/29510232?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Gregori, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Simeone, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sonzogni, Aurelio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanon, Davide</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boz, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Antiga, Lorenzo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Total body irradiation and iron chelation treatment are associated with pancreatic injury following pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.</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><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2018 Apr 13</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19543-19554</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Whereas many studies have addressed the risk of organ dysfunction following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), little is known about pancreatic susceptibility in this setting. We aimed to investigate the effect of iron overload (IO) and total body irradiation (TBI) on pancreatic function of children undergoing HSCT. We retrospectively evaluated children admitted between 2012-2016 fulfilling the following criteria: normal pancreatic iron concentration (PIC), regular pancreatic function before HSCT, availability of abdominal magnetic resonance imaging with gradient-recalled-echo sequences and a full set of biochemical markers of IO and pancreatic function performed before HSCT and at discharge. We divided the patients according to the use of TBI or myeloablative chemotherapy (MCHT) in the conditioning regimen. All patients with severe IO or moderate IO with a high risk of engraftment delay or transplantation-related complications underwent chelation therapy with deferoxamine (DFO) from the first day of conditioning to discharge. 63 patients had a HSCT in the study period, 13 did not fulfill the inclusion criteria; 50 (25 in each group) are included in the analysis, and did not show differences at baseline evaluation. At follow up testing the TBI group showed a significantly higher PIC (107,8±100,3 μmol/g vs 28,4±37,9 in MCHT group, p&lt;0,0001). In the TBI group the patients who had DFO treatment had higher PIC (223,2±48,8 μmol/g vs 55,7±10,5 without DFO treatment, p&lt;0,0001), and all patients having PIC &gt;100 μmol/g at follow up had DFO-based chelation therapy, versus 26% of those with lower PIC (p&lt;0,0001). The number of patients presenting exocrine pancreatic dysfunctions one month after transplantation was significantly higher in the TBI group (48% vs 4%; p&lt;0.0001). The mean pancreatic volume reduction was significantly greater in the TBI group (39,1% vs 0,9% in the MCHT group; p&lt;0,05), and was significantly worse on those who received DFO therapy. Based on our data, we suggest that TBI is detrimental for pancreatic functions, and speculate that DFO may contribute to the rapid pancreatic IO observed in these patients.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">28</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29731964?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Castellano, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Divella, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sallustio, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montinaro, Vincenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curci, Claudia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanichelli, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bonanni, Erika</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Suffritti, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caccia, Sonia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bossi, Fleur</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gallone, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schena, Francesco Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gesualdo, Loreto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cicardi, Marco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A transcriptomics study of hereditary angioedema attacks.</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.

Activation of the kallikrein/bradykinin pathway at the endothelial cell level has a relevant pathogenetic role in acute HAE attacks. Moreover, other pathways are involved given the variable clinical expression of the disease in different patients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;We sought to explore the involvement of other putative genes in edema formation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We performed a PBMC microarray gene expression analysis on RNA isolated from patients with HAE during an acute attack and compared them with the transcriptomic profile of the same patients in the remission phase.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Gene expression analysis identified 23 genes significantly modulated during acute attacks that are involved primarily in the natural killer cell signaling and leukocyte extravasation signaling pathways. Gene set enrichment analysis showed a significant activation of relevant biological processes, such as response to external stimuli and protein processing (q &lt; 0.05), suggesting involvement of PBMCs during acute HAE attacks. Upregulation of 2 genes, those encoding adrenomedullin and cellular receptor for urokinase plasminogen activator (uPAR), which occurs during an acute attack, was confirmed in PBMCs of 20 additional patients with HAE by using real-time PCR. Finally, in vitro studies demonstrated the involvement of uPAR in the generation of bradykinin and endothelial leakage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our study demonstrates the increase in levels of adrenomedullin and uPAR in PBMCs during an acute HAE attack. Activation of these genes usually involved in regulation of vascular tone and in inflammatory response might have a pathogenic role by amplifying bradykinin production and edema formation in patients with HAE.&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/29729940?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Frassanito, Luciano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanfini, Bruno A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pitoni, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Germini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Del Vicario, Miryam</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Draisci, Gaetano</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ultrasound-guided genitofemoral nerve block for inguinal hernia repair in the male adult: a randomized controlled pilot study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minerva Anestesiol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minerva Anestesiol</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 Feb</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">84</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">189-195</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;Ultrasound-guided (USG) ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve (II/IHN) block is a widely validated anesthetic technique for inguinal herniorrhaphy. As the spermatic cord, scrotum, and adjacent thigh receive sensory innervation from the genital branch of genitofemoral nerve (GFN), the addition of GFN block has been suggested to improve the quality of perioperative anesthesia and analgesia. The aim of this study is to compare GFN block plus II/IHN block with II/IHN block alone for intraoperative anesthesia and post-operative pain management.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We enrolled 80, ASA I-III, male adults scheduled for elective open herniorrhaphy. Patients were randomized to receive either USG II/IHN plus GFN block (Case Group) or USG II/IHN block alone (Control Group). The outcome measures were the assessment of postoperative VAS scores on coughing and the adequacy of anesthesia, measured with intraoperative requirement for extra local anesthetic (LA) infiltration and number of patients needing systemic sedation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The requirement of intraoperative additional doses of LA was significantly lower in the Case Group (median LA volume administered by the surgeon: 13.8±5.6 mL vs. 20.7±9.1 mL, P&lt;0.05). Two patients in the Control Group needed systemic sedation. VAS scores at 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, pre-discharge, and 24 hours were significantly lower in the Case Group (P&lt;0.005). Four cases of femoral nerve block were reported, three in the Control Group, one in the Case Group (2.2% vs. 7.7%, P&gt;0.05).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The combination of GFN block and II/IHN block is associated with lower postoperative VAS scores and lower doses of intraoperative additional LA.&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/28679199?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Faleschini, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tornese, Gianluca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zandonà, Lorenzo</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%">An unusual unilateral breast enlargement in a prepubertal girl.</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 spot known biofilm-forming bacteria, we profiled the vaginal microbiome of sixty-four symptomatic women suffering from a different grade of vaginal disorders and sixty asymptomatic healthy women. Specific microbial profiles distinguished symptomatic from asymptomatic women and characterized the grade of dysmicrobism within the symptomatic group. Lactobacillus crispatus and iners predominated on the healthy vaginal mucosa, while Lactobacillus gasseri predominated in the intermediate dysmicrobism. Furthermore, the intermediate grade of dysmicrobism was characterized by other lactic acid-producers species than Lactobacilli, able to rescue the microbial imbalance, and Ureaplasma parvum-serovar 3. The vaginosis group exhibited the overgrowth of Prevotella bivia, which is known to enhance the biofilm formation by Gardnerella vaginalis, and the presence of Streptococcus anginosus, which is emerging as a new cooperating player of the vaginal biofilm. Identifying specific microorganisms promoting or preventing the biofilm formation could increase the accuracy for a better definition of the vaginal dysmicrobism concept and therapeutic intervention.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29772525?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Sonzogni, Aurelio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Matarazzo, Lorenza</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ghirardi, Arianna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Antiga, Lorenzo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vanishing Bile Ducts in the Long Term after Pediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation.</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.

We aimed to prospectively describe the clinicopathologic features of liver disease in the long term after HSCT in an observational, longitudinal study of liver histology in a consecutive cohort of children undergoing allogeneic HSCT. First liver biopsy was performed in presence of abnormal liver function tests and repeated per protocol thereafter. A previously reported semiquantitative score evaluating inflammation, cholestasis, and ductopenia (bile ducts-to-portal tracts ratio ≤ .5) was adopted. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was diagnosed according to standard criteria. We evaluated 131 biopsies taken in 50 HSCTs performed in 47 children (mean age, 9.7 ± 5.2 years). Pre-HSCT chemotherapy was administered in 36 of 50 (72%). GVHD was diagnosed in 17 of 50 (34%). Over time the overall score decreased from a mean of 6 ± 2.7 to 3.25 ± .96 (P &lt; .01), inflammation from 1.22 ± 1.19 to 1 ± 0 (not significant), and cholestasis from 3.9 ± 2.08 to 1.5 ± .58 (P &lt; .01). Ductopenia, found in 113 of 131 biopsies (93%), worsened from .63 ± .35 to .16 ± .14 (P &lt; .01). On multivariate analysis severe ductopenia (ratio ≤ .2) was associated with previous chemotherapy (P = .04), in particular with thiotepa, but not with history of GVHD. Vanishing bile duct syndrome after HSCT may be due to drug-induced liver disease. Longer follow-up will reveal whether these patients are prone to late liver-related morbidity and mortality.&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/30026108?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fucile, Carmen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mattioli, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marini, Valeria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gregori, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sonzogni, Aurelio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelli, Antonietta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maximova, Natalia</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">What is known about deferasirox chelation therapy in pediatric HSCT recipients: two case reports of metabolic acidosis.</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%">1649-1655</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 pediatric field, various hematological malignancies are increasingly treated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Iron overload and systemic siderosis often occur in this particular cohort of patients and are associated with poor prognosis. We describe herein the case of two allo-HSCT patients, on treatment with deferasirox; they showed histopathological elements compatible with venoocclusive disease or vanishing bile duct syndrome in ductopenic evolution before deferasirox started. The first patient developed drug-induced liver damage with metabolic acidosis and the second one a liver impairment with Fanconi syndrome. After withdrawing deferasirox treatment, both patients showed improvement. Measurements of drug plasma concentrations were performed by HPLC assay. The reduction and consequent disappearance of symptoms after the suspension of deferasirox substantiate its role in inducing hepatic damage, probably enabling the diagnosis of drug-induced liver damage. But the difficulties in diagnosing drug-related toxicity must be underlined, especially in compromised subjects. For these reasons, in patients requiring iron-chelating therapy, close and careful drug therapeutic monitoring is strongly recommended.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30237719?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bacci, Alberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hodorogea, Stelian</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Khachatryan, Henrik</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Babojonova, Shohida</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Irsa, Signe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jansone, Maira</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dondiuc, Iurie</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Matarazde, George</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lazdane, Gunta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lazzerini, Marzia</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">What is the quality of the maternal near-miss case reviews in WHO European Region?

In several countries this approach has been introduced and supported by WHO and partners since 2004, but information on the quality of its implementation is missing. This study aimed at evaluating the quality of the NMCR implementation in selected countries within WHO European Region.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;Cross-sectional study.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SETTINGS: &lt;/b&gt;Twenty-three maternity units in Armenia, Georgia, Latvia, Moldova and Uzbekistan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;ASSESSMENT TOOLS: &lt;/b&gt;A predefined checklist including 50 items, according to WHO methodology. Quality in the NMCR implementation was defined by summary scores ranging from 0 (totally inappropriate) to 3 (appropriate).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Quality of the NMCR implementation was heterogeneous among different countries, and within the same country. Overall, the first part of the audit cycle (from case identification to case analysis) was fairly well performed (mean score 2.00, 95% CI 1.94 to 2.06), with the exception of the 'inclusion of users' views' (mean score 0.66, 95% CI 0.11 to 1.22), while the second part (developing recommendations, implementing them and ensuring quality) was poorly performed (mean score 0.66, 95% CI 0.11 to 1.22). Each country had at least one champion facility, where quality of the NMCR cycle was acceptable. Quality of the implementation was not associated with its duration. Gaps in implementation were of technical, organisational and attitudinal nature.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Ensuring quality in the NMCR may be difficult but achievable. The high heterogeneity in results within the same country suggests that quality of the NMCR implementation depends, to a large extent, from hospital factors, including staff's commitment, managerial support and local coordination. Efforts should be put in preventing and mitigating common barriers that hamper successful NMCR implementation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default"

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%">Scarpa, Maria-Grazia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grazia, Massimo Di</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tornese, Gianluca</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">46,XY ovotesticular disorders of sex development: A therapeutic challenge.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Rep</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Rep</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 Nov 21</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7085</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><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/29285340?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Bassanese, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbieri, Francesca</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%">Acute Abdominal Pain: Recognition and Management of Constipation in the Emergency Department.</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 Pain</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acute Pain</style></keyword><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%">Constipation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Emergency Service, Hospital</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Enema</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%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retrospective Studies</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%">33</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e75-e78</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;The main aim of the study was to investigate the incidence and the clinically relevant features of functional constipation in patients evaluated for acute abdominal pain in a tertiary care pediatric emergency department.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;This is a retrospective study. We analyzed 4394 medical records and recorded the information (demographics, triage code, symptoms, medical history, physical evaluation, laboratory tests, radiological studies, procedures, and treatments) of all patients admitted for acute abdominal pain to the emergency department of the IRCCS Burlo Garofolo, Trieste, during 2010 to 2013.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;In this study, a quarter of patients (1020) presenting in the emergency department with acute abdominal pain were affected by functional constipation. Acute pain associated with functional constipation is generally rated from moderate to severe, and the location of the pain on physical evaluation was not a sufficient criterion to guide diagnosis. Isolated vomiting may be present in a minority of cases. Digital rectal exploration was never performed; the majority of patients were treated by means of an enema with prompt relief. Six percent of patients with constipation underwent radiological studies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;This study confirms that the medical history provides a pivotal role in the diagnosis of functional constipation. Digital rectal exploration and x-rays should be avoided in this setting, whereas an enema plays a useful diagnostic and therapeutic role in our study patients.&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/28632578?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Agostinis, Chiara</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%">Alternative functions of the complement protein C1q at embryo implantation site.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Reprod Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

This molecule is produced at foeto-maternal interface by macrophages as wells as by decidual endothelial cells and invading trophoblast. Foetal trophoblast cells migrating through the decidua in the early stages of pregnancy synthesize and express C1q on their surface, which is actively involved in promoting trophoblast endovascular and interstitial invasion of the decidua. These functions are mediated by two cell surface receptors, gC1qR and α4β1 integrin, which promote trophoblast adhesion and migration through the activation of ERK1/2 MAPKs. C1q mice manifest increased frequency of foetal resorption, reduced foetal weight, and smaller litter size when compared to their wild-type counterparts, suggesting that defective local production of C1q may be involved in pregnancy disorders, such as pre-eclampsia. C1q acts also as a strong angiogenic factor and promotes neovascularization. These studies suggest novel and unexpected roles of this complement component in physiological and pathological pregnancies.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27687635?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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.

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.

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%">Coelho, Antônio Victor Campos</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tricarico, Paola Maura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celsi, Fulvio</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%">Antiretroviral Treatment in HIV-1-Positive Mothers: Neurological Implications in Virus-Free 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><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anti-HIV Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antiretroviral Therapy, Highly Active</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Disease Management</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Disease Models, Animal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epigenesis, Genetic</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%">Infectious Disease Transmission, Vertical</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maternal Exposure</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meta-Analysis as Topic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mothers</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neurodevelopmental Disorders</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prenatal Exposure Delayed Effects</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 15</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Since the worldwide introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in human immunodeficiency virus type 1, HIV-1-positive mothers, together with HIV-1 testing prior to pregnancy, caesarian birth and breastfeeding cessation with replacement feeding, a reduction of HIV-1 mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) has been observed in the last few years. As such, an increasing number of children are being exposed in utero to ART. Several questions have arisen concerning the neurological effects of ART exposure in utero, considering the potential effect of antiretroviral drugs on the central nervous system, a structure which is in continuous development in the fetus and characterized by great plasticity. This review aims at discussing the possible neurological impairment of children exposed to ART in utero, focusing attention on the drugs commonly used for HIV-1 MTCT prevention, clinical reports of ART neurotoxicity in children born to HIV-1-positive mothers, and neurologic effects of protease inhibitors (PIs), especially ritonavir-&quot;boosted&quot; lopinavir (LPV/r) in cell and animal central nervous system models evaluating the potential neurotoxic effect of ART. Finally, we present the findings of a meta-analysis to assess the effects on the neurodevelopment of children exposed to ART in utero.&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/28212307?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Bossi, Fleur</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toffoli, Barbara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giudici, Fabiola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bramante, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Furlanis, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stenner, Elisabetta</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><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carretta, Renzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabris, Bruno</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Association between thyroid hormones and TRAIL.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin Biochem</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin.

Interestingly, thyroid hormones seem to increase TRAIL tissue expression. This study aimed at evaluating whether overt thyroid disorders affected circulating TRAIL levels.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;TRAIL circulating levels were measured in euthyroid, hyperthyroid, and hypothyroid patients before and after thyroid function normalization. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate the correlation between thyroid hormones and TRAIL. Then, the stimulatory effect of both triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) on TRAIL was evaluated in vitro on peripheral blood mononuclear cells.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Circulating levels of TRAIL significantly increased in hyperthyroid and decreased in hypothyroid patients as compared to controls. Once thyroid function was restored, TRAIL levels normalized. There was an independent association between TRAIL and both fT3 and fT4. Consistent with these findings, T3 and T4 stimulated TRAIL release in vitro.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Here we show that thyroid hormones are associated with TRAIL expression in vivo and stimulate TRAIL expression in vitro. Given the overlap between the metabolic effects of thyroid hormones and TRAIL, this work sheds light on the possibility that TRAIL might be one of the molecules mediating thyroid hormones peripheral effects.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16-17</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28551332?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Norbedo, Stefania</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%">Authors' Reply to M.S.

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" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27741079?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Cont, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bua, Jenny</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Orlando, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Benedetto, Donatella</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%">Bolus feeding has no effect on cerebral hemodynamics, irrespective of gestational age.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

newborns.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;STUDY DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;Cardiac output (CO), stroke volume (SV), systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) and heart rate (HR) were measured by electric velocimetry in hemodynamically stable newborns without respiratory support in the supine, left-lateral and back-to-supine positions, each kept for 10 min.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Thirty-two newborns were enrolled, birth weight 2134 (1818 to 2460) g, gestational age 34.5±2.4 weeks. CO and SV decreased significantly from supine to left-lateral position (CO supine: 193.4 (168.0 to 229.6) ml kgmin; CO left-lateral: 172.0 (154.9 to 201.6) ml kgmin, P&lt;0.0001; SV supine: 3.0 (2.7 to 4.0) ml; SV left-lateral: 2.7 (2.4 to 3.2) ml, P&lt;0.0004). Conversely, SVRI increased in left-lateral position: SVRI supine: 18865±9244 dyns cm m; SVRI left-lateral: 21203±10059 dyns cm m, P&lt;0.0001). All variables returned to the initial value when infants were back in the supine position. HR and blood pressure did not change.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;In stable infants, CO and SV decrease and SVRI increases, in left-lateral position.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

during pregnancy. It involves positioning of a suture (stitch) around the neck of the womb (cervix), aiming to give mechanical support to the cervix and thereby reduce risk of preterm birth. The effectiveness and safety of this procedure remains controversial. This is an update of a review last published in 2012.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVES: &lt;/b&gt;To assess whether the use of cervical stitch in singleton pregnancy at high risk of pregnancy loss based on woman's history and/or ultrasound finding of 'short cervix' and/or physical exam improves subsequent obstetric care and fetal outcome.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SEARCH METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We searched Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth's Trials Register (30 June 2016) and reference lists of identified studies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SELECTION CRITERIA: &lt;/b&gt;We included all randomised trials of cervical suturing in singleton pregnancies. Cervical stitch was carried out when the pregnancy was considered to be of sufficiently high risk due to a woman's history, a finding of short cervix on ultrasound or other indication determined by physical exam. We included any study that compared cerclage with either no treatment or any alternative intervention. We planned to include cluster-randomised studies but not cross-over trials. We excluded quasi-randomised studies. We included studies reported in abstract form only.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: &lt;/b&gt;Three review authors independently assessed trials for inclusion. Two review authors independently assessed risk of bias and extracted data. We resolved discrepancies by discussion. Data were checked for accuracy. The quality of the evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MAIN RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;This updated review includes a total of 15 trials (3490 women); three trials were added for this update (152 women). Cerclage versus no cerclageOverall, cerclage probably leads to a reduced risk of perinatal death when compared with no cerclage, although the confidence interval (CI) crosses the line of no effect (RR 0.82, 95% CI 0.65 to 1.04; 10 studies, 2927 women; moderate quality evidence). Considering stillbirths and neonatal deaths separately reduced the numbers of events and sample size. Although the relative effect of cerclage is similar, estimates were less reliable with fewer data and assessed as of low quality (stillbirths RR 0.89, 95% CI 0.45 to 1.75; 5 studies, 1803 women; low quality evidence; neonatal deaths before discharge RR 0.85, 95% CI 0.53 to 1.39; 6 studies, 1714 women; low quality evidence). Serious neonatal morbidity was similar with and without cerclage (RR 0.80, 95% CI 0.55 to 1.18; 6 studies, 883 women; low-quality evidence). Pregnant women with and without cerclage were equally likely to have a baby discharged home healthy (RR 1.02, 95% CI 0.97 to 1.06; 4 studies, 657 women; moderate quality evidence).Pregnant women with cerclage were less likely to have preterm births compared to controls before 37, 34 (average RR 0.77, 95% CI 0.66 to 0.89; 9 studies, 2415 women; high quality evidence) and 28 completed weeks of gestation.Five subgroups based on clinical indication provided data for analysis (history-indicated; short cervix based on one-off ultrasound in high risk women; short cervix found by serial scans in high risk women; physical exam-indicated; and short cervix found on scan in low risk or mixed populations). There were too few trials in these clinical subgroups to make meaningful conclusions and no evidence of differential effects. Cerclage versus progesteroneTwo trials (129 women) compared cerclage to prevention with vaginal progesterone in high risk women with short cervix on ultrasound; these trials were too small to detect reliable, clinically important differences for any review outcome. One included trial compared cerclage with intramuscular progesterone (75 women) which lacked power to detect group differences. History indicated cerclage versus ultrasound indicated cerclageEvidence from two trials (344 women) was too limited to establish differences for clinically important outcomes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Cervical cerclage reduces the risk of preterm birth in women at high-risk of preterm birth and probably reduces risk of perinatal deaths. There was no evidence of any differential effect of cerclage based on previous obstetric history or short cervix indications, but data were limited for all clinical groups. The question of whether cerclage is more or less effective than other preventative treatments, particularly vaginal progesterone, remains unanswered.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style

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%">Minute, Marta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cozzi, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plotti, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montanari, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecile, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanazzo, Giulio Andrea</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%">Children with cancer: a survey on the experience of Italian primary care pediatricians.</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%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cross-Sectional Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Disease-Free Survival</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%">Italy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Needs Assessment</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neoplasms</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Outcome Assessment (Health Care)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatricians</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Practice Patterns, Physicians'</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prevalence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Primary Health Care</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retrospective Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk Assessment</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Survival 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 May 25</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">43</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">48</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;Cancer is the second cause of death in children and its diagnosis can be difficult, due to the presence of vague and non-specific symptoms. The primary care pediatrician is often involved in the diagnostic process, but no longer in child care once the treatment started. Care models involving both primary care pediatricians and oncologic referral centre highlighted a higher family satisfaction when they worked together. We conducted a survey on primary care pediatricians involved in childhood cancer in order to describe the actual situation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We conducted a retrospective survey enrolling primary care pediatricians from a north-eastern area of Italy. They received a questionnaire that consisted in two parts: the first one aimed to assess the physician's seniority and experience and the second one pertained to each case of cancer and explored the relationship between the pediatrician, the family and the referral centre, and pediatricians degree of satisfaction and emotional impact.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;We obtained data from 79 pediatricians who described 150 cancer cases. In 99 cases the primary care pediatrician had visited the child at the onset of symptoms and had referred him to the hospital. In 89 cases, he understood the severity of the disease. In 53.3% of cases the pediatrician was informed by the referral centre. The relationship between the pediatrician and child's family improved in 38% of cases and this was related with their participation to the multidisciplinary meetings on child health.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Primary pediatricians' sharing in the management of their patients with cancer was not satisfactory. Development of specific protocols targeted to an integrated care is needed to increase primary pediatricians' involvement and families' satisfactions.&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/28545557?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Toffoli, Barbara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bossi, Fleur</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Candido, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stenner, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carretta, Renzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbone, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabris, Bruno</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Circulating osteoprotegerin is associated with chronic kidney disease in hypertensive patients.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC Nephrol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC Nephrol</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biomarkers</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Case-Control Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Follow-Up Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hypertension</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%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Osteoprotegerin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Random Allocation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Renal Insufficiency, Chronic</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 06</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">219</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;Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a glycoprotein that plays an important regulatory role in the skeletal, vascular, and immune system. It has been shown that OPG predicts chronic kidney disease (CKD) in diabetic patients. We hypothesized that OPG could be a risk marker of CKD development also in non-diabetic hypertensive patients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A case-control study was carried out to measure circulating OPG levels in 42 hypertensive patients with CKD and in 141 hypertensive patients without CKD. A potential relationship between OPG and the presence of CKD was investigated and a receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve was designed thereafter to identify a cut-off value of OPG that best explained the presence of CKD. Secondly, to evaluate whether OPG increase could affect the kidney, 18 C57BL/6J mice were randomized to be treated with saline or recombinant OPG every 3 weeks for 12 weeks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Circulating OPG levels were significantly higher in hypertensive patients with CKD, and there was a significant inverse association between OPG and renal function, that was independent from other variables. ROC analysis showed that OPG levels had a high statistically predictive value on CKD in hypertensive patients, which was greater than that of hypertension. The OPG best cut-off value associated with CKD was 1109.19 ng/L. In the experimental study, OPG delivery significantly increased the gene expression of pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic mediators, as well as the glomerular nitrosylation of proteins.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;This study shows that OPG is associated with CKD in hypertensive patients, where it might have a higher predictive value than that of hypertension for CKD development. Secondly, we found that OPG delivery significantly increased the expression of molecular pathways involved in kidney damage. Further longitudinal studies are needed not only to evaluate whether OPG predicts CKD development but also to clarify whether OPG should be considered a risk factor for CKD.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

development of structure derived from the ectoderm and is caused by mutations in the genes EDA, EDAR, or EDARADD. Phenotypes caused by mutations in these three may exhibit similar clinical features, explained by a common signaling pathway. Mutations in EDA gene cause X linked HED, which is the most common form. Mutations in EDAR and EDARADD genes cause autosomal dominant and recessive form of HED. The most striking clinical findings in HED are hypodontia, hypotrichosis and hypohidrosis that can lead to episodes of hyperthermia. We report on clinical findings in a child with HED with autosomal dominant inheritance pattern with a heterozygous mutation c.1072C&gt;T (p.Arg358X) in the EDAR gene. A review of the literature with regard to other cases presenting the same mutation has been carried out and discussed.&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/28097853?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Corre, Tanguy</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Olinger, Eric</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Harris, Sarah E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Traglia, Michela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ulivi, Sheila</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lenarduzzi, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Belge, Hendrica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Youhanna, Sonia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tokonami, Natsuko</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bonny, Olivier</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Houillier, Pascal</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polasek, Ozren</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Deary, Ian J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Starr, John M</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%">Vollenweider, Peter</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hayward, Caroline</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bochud, Murielle</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 CLDN14 are associated with differential excretion of magnesium over calcium in urine.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pflugers Arch</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pflugers Arch.</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calcium</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Claudins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kidney Tubules</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Magnesium</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Urine</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</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">469</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">91-103</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 nature and importance of genetic factors regulating the differential handling of Ca and Mg by the renal tubule in the general population are poorly defined. We conducted a genome-wide meta-analysis of urinary magnesium-to-calcium ratio to identify associated common genetic variants. We included 9320 adults of European descent from four genetic isolates and three urban cohorts. Urinary magnesium and calcium concentrations were measured centrally in spot urine, and each study conducted linear regression analysis of urinary magnesium-to-calcium ratio on ~2.5 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using an additive model. We investigated, in mouse, the renal expression profile of the top candidate gene and its variation upon changes in dietary magnesium. The genome-wide analysis evidenced a top locus (rs172639, p = 1.7 × 10), encompassing CLDN14, the gene coding for claudin-14, that was genome-wide significant when using urinary magnesium-to-calcium ratio, but not either one taken separately. In mouse, claudin-14 is expressed in the distal nephron segments specifically handling magnesium, and its expression is regulated by chronic changes in dietary magnesium content. A genome-wide approach identified common variants in the CLDN14 gene exerting a robust influence on the differential excretion of Mg over Ca in urine. These data highlight the power of urinary electrolyte ratios to unravel genetic determinants of renal tubular function. Coupled with mouse experiments, these results support a major role for claudin-14, a gene associated with kidney stones, in the differential paracellular handling of divalent cations by the renal tubule.&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/27915449?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Schillani, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Simeone, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maestro, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanon, Davide</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comparison of Efficacy and Safety of Caspofungin Versus Micafungin in Pediatric Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients: A Retrospective Analysis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adv Ther</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adv Ther</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antifungal Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caspofungin</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%">Echinocandins</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%">Infant</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant, Newborn</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lipopeptides</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Micafungin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mycoses</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neutropenia</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retrospective Studies</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 05</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">34</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1184-1199</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 high morbidity and mortality associated with invasive fungal infections (IFIs) provide the rationale for antifungal prophylaxis in immuno-compromised pediatric patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Caspofungin and micafungin are antifungal agents of interest for prophylaxis of IFIs because of their potency against Candida and minimal toxicity or interactions with other drugs. Few studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of such echinocandins as prophylaxis for IFIs in patients undergoing HSCT.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;This retrospective cohort study compared caspofungin and micafungin for prevention of IFIs in 93 pediatric patients undergoing HSCT for oncological or non-oncological disease. The observation began with the first dose of antifungal agent and ended 3 months after transplantation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Patients in the micafungin group had a higher overall treatment success rate of 87.2 versus 84.8% in the caspofungin group, but the difference was not significant. There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence or type of proven/probable IFIs between the 2 groups. The low incidence of death did not differ statistically between the groups. Patients in the caspofungin group presented more frequently with fever, during and after neutropenia. In both groups, we observed an expected worsening of blood chemistry parameters. There were no adverse events definitely attributable to the two antifungal agents.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;These results demonstrate good efficacy and tolerability for caspofungin and micafungin. However, better results with respect to the incidence and resolution of fever in the micafungin group may suggest its use in preference to that of caspofungin.&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/28429246?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Vidergar, Romana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Belmonte, Beatrice</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%">Geri, Pietro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Borelli, Violetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanconati, Fabrizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tedesco, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Confalonieri, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tripodo, Claudio</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%">Complement Protein C1q Binds to Hyaluronic Acid in the Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma Microenvironment and Promotes Tumor Growth.</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%">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%">8</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1559</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;C1q is the first recognition subcomponent of the complement classical pathway, which acts toward the clearance of pathogens and apoptotic cells. C1q is also known to modulate a range of functions of immune and non-immune cells, and has been shown to be involved in placental development and sensorial synaptic pruning. We have recently shown that C1q can promote tumor by encouraging their adhesion, migration, and proliferation in addition to angiogenesis and metastasis. In this study, we have examined the role of human C1q in the microenvironment of malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), a rare form of cancer commonly associated with exposure to asbestos. We found that C1q was highly expressed in all MPM histotypes, particularly in epithelioid rather than in sarcomatoid histotype. C1q avidly bound high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA)  its globular domain. C1q bound to HA was able to induce adhesion and proliferation of mesothelioma cells (MES)  enhancement of ERK1/2, SAPK/JNK, and p38 phosphorylation; however, it did not activate the complement cascade. Consistent with the modular organization of the globular domain, we demonstrated that C1q may bind to HA through ghA module, whereas it may interact with human MES through the ghC. In conclusion, C1q highly expressed in MPM binds to HA and enhances the tumor growth promoting cell adhesion and proliferation. These data can help develop novel diagnostic markers and molecular targets for MPM.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/29209316?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Villa, N</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Conconi, D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benussi, D Gambel</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tornese, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crosti, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sala, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dalprà, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecile, V</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A complete duplication of X chromosome resulting in a tricentric isochromosome originated by centromere repositioning.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Cytogenet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Cytogenet</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</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">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;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Neocentromeres are rare and considered chromosomal aberrations, because a non-centromeric region evolves in an active centromere by mutation. The literature reported several structural anomalies of X chromosome and they influence the female reproductive capacity or are associated to Turner syndrome in the presence of monosomy X cell line.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CASE PRESENTATION: &lt;/b&gt;We report a case of chromosome X complex rearrangement found in a prenatal diagnosis. The fetal karyotype showed a mosaicism with a 45,X cell line and a 46 chromosomes second line with a big marker, instead of a sex chromosome. The marker morphology and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) characterization allowed us to identify a tricentric X chromosome constituted by two complete X chromosome fused at the p arms telomere and an active neocentromere in the middle, at the union of the two Xp arms, where usually are the telomeric regions. FISH also showed the presence of a paracentric inversion of both Xp arms. Furthermore, fragility figures were found in 56% of metaphases from peripheral blood lymphocytes culture at birth: a shorter marker chromosome and an apparently acentric fragment frequently lost.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;At our knowledge, this is the first isochromosome of an entire non-acrocentric chromosome. The neocentromere is constituted by canonical sequences but localized in an unusual position and the original centromeres are inactivated. We speculated that marker chromosome was the result of a double rearrangement: firstly, a paracentric inversion which involved the Xp arm, shifting a part of the centromere at the p end and subsequently a duplication of the entire X chromosome, which gave rise to an isochromosome. It is possible to suppose that the first event could be a result of a non-allelic homologous recombination mediated by inverted low-copy repeats. As expected, our case shows a Turner phenotype with mild facial features and no major skeletal deformity, normal psychomotor development and a spontaneous development of puberty and menarche, although with irregular menses since the last follow-up.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

To achieve this goal we have used a human intestinal epithelial cell line (HT29) treated with IFNγ to undergo apoptotic changes that can reproduce the damage of intestinal epithelia exposed to inflammatory cytokines. In this model, we measured the effect of curcumin (curcuminoid from ) added as a pre-treatment at different time intervals before stimulation with IFNγ. Curcumin administration to HT29 culture before the inflammatory stimulus IFNγ reduced the cell apoptosis rate. This effect gradually declined with the reduction of the curcumin pre-incubation time. This anti-apoptotic action by curcumin pre-treatment was paralleled by a reduction of secreted IL7 in the HT29 culture media, while there was no relevant change in the other cytokine levels. Even though curcumin pre-administration did not impact the activation of the NF-κB pathway, a slight effect on the phosphorylation of proteins in this inflammatory signaling pathway was observed. In conclusion, curcumin pre-treatment can protect intestinal cells from inflammatory damage. These results can be the basis for studying the preventive role of curcumin in inflammatory bowel diseases.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default"

&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%">Polesello, Vania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zupin, Luisa</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%">Pozzato, Gabriele</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%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, Ludovica</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DEFB1 polymorphisms and salivary hBD-1 concentration in Oral Lichen Planus patients and healthy subjects.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch Oral Biol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch.

Since innate immunity may be hypothesized as involved in the susceptibility to OLP, we studied human beta defensin 1 (hBD-1) an antimicrobial peptide constitutively expressed in the saliva, looking at functional genetic variants possibly able to diminish hBD-1 production an consequently conferring major susceptibility to OLP.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;We analysed three DEFB1 polymorphisms at 5' UTR, -52G&gt;A (rs1799946), -44C&gt;G (rs1800972), -20G&gt;A (rs11362) and two DEFB1 polymorphisms at 3'UTR, c*5G&gt;A (rs1047031), c*87A&gt;G (rs1800971), with the aim of correlating these genetic variants and hBD-1 salivary level in a group of OLP patients and in healthy subjects. We also evaluated hBD-1 salivary concentrations, using ELISA, in OLP and healthy controls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;We compared hBD-1 concentrations in OLP and healthy subjects: hBD-1 concentration was significantly higher in OLP patients respect to control. When considering the correlation between DEFB1 polymorphisms genotypes and hBD-1 expression levels, significant results were obtained for SNPs -52G&gt;A (p=0.03 both in OLP patients and healthy individuals) and -44C&gt;G (p=0.02 in OLP patients).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;hBD-1 production was different between OLP and healthy subjects (not age-matched with OLP). DEFB1 gene polymorphisms, -52G&gt;A and -44C&gt;G, correlated with hBD-1 salivary concentrations.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27770642?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Berti, Cristiana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agostoni, Carlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Davanzo, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hyppönen, Elina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Isolauri, Erika</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meltzer, Helle M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Steegers-Theunissen, Régine P M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cetin, Irene</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Early-life nutritional exposures and lifelong health: immediate and long-lasting impacts of probiotics, vitamin D, and breastfeeding.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nutr Rev</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nutr.

Nutrition may influence both the overall pregnancy outcome and the growth trajectory and immune system of the fetus and infant, with short- and long-term effects on the health of the offspring. Within this context, leading experts at Expo Milano 2015 in Milan, Italy, discussed up-to-date knowledge while providing suggestions and challenges before, during, and after pregnancy. This narrative review summarizes the key issues raised by the experts concerning the interplay between the nutritional environment from conception to early infancy and the offspring's immediate and lifelong health, with a particular focus on epigenetic mechanisms, probiotics, vitamin D, and breastfeeding. Taken together, the findings strengthen the awareness that nutritional exposures occurring from preconception to the postnatal period may be strong determinants of the offspring's health and may provide supportive evidence for current nutritional recommendations and guidelines for pregnant women and infants. Critical topics to be addressed in future research and translated into recommendations of public health relevance are also highlighted.&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/28130504?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Franchini, Mario</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zizolfi, Brunella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coppola, Carmela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bergamini, Valentino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bonin, Cecilia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Borsellino, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Busato, Enrico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calabrese, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calzolari, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fantin, Gian Piero</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giarrè, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Litta, Piero</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Luerti, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mangino, Francesco Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marchino, Gian Luigi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molinari, Maria Antonietta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scatena, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scrimin, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Telloli, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Spiezio Sardo, Attilio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Essure Permanent Birth Control, Effectiveness and Safety: An Italian 11-Year Survey.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Minim Invasive Gynecol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Minim Invasive 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%">Fallopian Tubes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Follow-Up Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hypersensitivity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hysterosalpingography</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hysteroscopy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Laparoscopy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nickel</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pain</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy, Unplanned</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retrospective Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sterilization, Reproductive</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sterilization, Tubal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Surveys and Questionnaires</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 May -

Satisfactory insertion was accomplished in 97.2% of women and, in 4, perforation and 1 expulsion were detected during hysterosalpingography. Three unintended pregnancies occurred before the 3-month confirmation test. Two pregnancies were reported among women relying on the Essure inserts. Postprocedure pain was minimal and brief; in 9 women, pelvic pain became intractable, necessitating removal of the devices via laparoscopy. On telephone interviews, overall satisfaction was rated as &quot;very satisfied&quot; by the majority of women (97.6%), and no long-term adverse events were reported.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;The findings from this extended Italian survey further support the effectiveness, tolerability, and satisfaction of Essure hysteroscopic sterilization when motivated women are selected and well informed of the potential risks of the device. Moreover, the results do not demonstrate an increased incidence of complications and pregnancies associated with long-term Essure use. Patients with a known hypersensitivity to nickel may be less suitable candidates for the Essure insert.&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/28232037?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cervesi, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Park, Su Young</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Galling, Britta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molteni, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Masi, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gerhard, Tobias</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Olfson, Mark</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Correll, Christoph U</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Extent, Time Course, and Moderators of Antipsychotic Treatment in Youth With Mood Disorders: Results of a Meta-Analysis and Meta-Regression Analyses.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Clin Psychiatry</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Clin Psychiatry</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antipsychotic Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bipolar Disorder</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cross-Sectional Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Drug Utilization</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%">Longitudinal Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mood Disorders</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Off-Label Use</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Regression 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 Mar</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">78</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">347-357</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 meta-analytically examine the trends and correlates of antipsychotic use in youth with mood disorders.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Systematic literature search without language restriction in PubMed/MEDLINE/PsycINFO from database inception through March 2015 using the following search terms: (antipsychotic* OR neuroleptic* OR &quot;dopamine blocker*&quot; OR antidopaminergic) AND (child* OR adolescen* OR pediatric OR youth) AND (prescription* OR prescrib* OR use OR utilization OR database OR pharmacoepidemiolog* OR frequency OR rate OR rates). Random effects meta-analysis and meta-regression analyses were conducted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;STUDY SELECTION: &lt;/b&gt;Included were studies reporting on the frequency of (1) mood disorders in antipsychotic-treated youth (≤ 19 years) and (2) antipsychotic use in youth with mood disorders.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DATA ABSTRACTION: &lt;/b&gt;Two independent investigators abstracted data on study, patient, and treatment characteristics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Forty-one studies were meta-analyzed (N = 518,919, mean ± SD age = 12.8 ± 1.8 years, males = 65.7%). Altogether, 24.2% of antipsychotic-treated youth had a mood disorder diagnosis (studies = 34, depression spectrum disorder = 10.9%, bipolar spectrum disorder = 13.6%). In longitudinal studies, the overall proportion increased significantly from 17.3% in 2000 (range, 1996-2009) to 24.5% in 2006 (range, 2004-2011) (odds ratio [OR] = 1.50; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.26-1.79; P &lt; .0001). This increase was driven entirely by bipolar spectrum diagnoses (2001 = 11.1%, 2006 = 16.3%, P &lt; .0001), rather than depression spectrum diagnoses (2001 = 9.1%, 2007 = 9.2%, P = .77). Among youth with mood disorders (8 studies), 24.0% received antipsychotics (depression spectrum disorder = 4.6%; bipolar spectrum disorder = 44.0%).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The proportion of youth with mood disorder diagnoses increased significantly among antipsychotic-treated youth, driven entirely by an increase in youth with bipolar spectrum disorders. Progress in understanding the reasons for these trends and for an evaluation of the appropriateness of the observed antipsychotic prescribing requires more detailed information than is available in traditional pharmacoepidemiologic databases.&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/28068462?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tepper, Beverly J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Melis, Melania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Koelliker, Yvonne</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ahijevych, Karen L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tomassini Barbarossa, Iole</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Factors Influencing the Phenotypic Characterization of the Oral Marker, PROP.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nutrients</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nutrients</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Food Preferences</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Variation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Propylthiouracil</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taste Perception</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taste Threshold</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 Nov 23</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;In the last several decades, the genetic ability to taste the bitter compound, 6--propyltiouracil (PROP) has attracted considerable attention as a model for understanding individual differences in taste perception, and as an oral marker for food preferences and eating behavior that ultimately impacts nutritional status and health. However, some studies do not support this role. This review describes common factors that can influence the characterization of this phenotype including: (1) changes in taste sensitivity with increasing age; (2) gender differences in taste perception; and (3) effects of smoking and obesity.

It is also possible that false positive Doppler ultrasound findings could lead to adverse outcomes from unnecessary interventions, including preterm delivery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVES: &lt;/b&gt;The objective of this review was to assess the effects of Doppler ultrasound used to assess fetal well-being in high-risk pregnancies on obstetric care and fetal outcomes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SEARCH METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We updated the search of Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth's Trials Register on 31 March 2017 and checked reference lists of retrieved studies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SELECTION CRITERIA: &lt;/b&gt;Randomised and quasi-randomised controlled trials of Doppler ultrasound for the investigation of umbilical and fetal vessels waveforms in high-risk pregnancies compared with no Doppler ultrasound. Cluster-randomised trials were eligible for inclusion but none were identified.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: &lt;/b&gt;Two review authors independently assessed the studies for inclusion, assessed risk of bias and carried out data extraction. Data entry was checked. We assessed the quality of evidence using the GRADE approach.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MAIN RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Nineteen trials involving 10,667 women were included. Risk of bias in trials was difficult to assess accurately due to incomplete reporting. None of the evidence relating to our main outcomes was graded as high quality. The quality of evidence was downgraded due to missing information on trial methods, imprecision in risk estimates and heterogeneity. Eighteen of these studies compared the use of Doppler ultrasound of the umbilical artery of the unborn baby with no Doppler or with cardiotocography (CTG). One more recent trial compared Doppler examination of other fetal blood vessels (ductus venosus) with computerised CTG.The use of Doppler ultrasound of the umbilical artery in high-risk pregnancy was associated with fewer perinatal deaths (risk ratio (RR) 0.71, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.52 to 0.98, 16 studies, 10,225 babies, 1.2% versus 1.7 %, number needed to treat (NNT) = 203; 95% CI 103 to 4352, evidence graded moderate). The results for stillbirths were consistent with the overall rate of perinatal deaths, although there was no clear difference between groups for this outcome (RR 0.65, 95% CI 0.41 to 1.04; 15 studies, 9560 babies, evidence graded low). Where Doppler ultrasound was used, there were fewer inductions of labour (average RR 0.89, 95% CI 0.80 to 0.99, 10 studies, 5633 women, random-effects, evidence graded moderate) and fewer caesarean sections (RR 0.90, 95% CI 0.84 to 0.97, 14 studies, 7918 women, evidence graded moderate). There was no comparative long-term follow-up of babies exposed to Doppler ultrasound in pregnancy in women at increased risk of complications.No difference was found in operative vaginal births (RR 0.95, 95% CI 0.80 to 1.14, four studies, 2813 women), nor in Apgar scores less than seven at five minutes (RR 0.92, 95% CI 0.69 to 1.24, seven studies, 6321 babies, evidence graded low). Data for serious neonatal morbidity were not pooled due to high heterogeneity between the three studies that reported it (1098 babies) (evidence graded very low).The use of Doppler to evaluate early and late changes in ductus venosus in early fetal growth restriction was not associated with significant differences in any perinatal death after randomisation. However, there was an improvement in long-term neurological outcome in the cohort of babies in whom the trigger for delivery was either late changes in ductus venosus or abnormalities seen on computerised CTG.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Current evidence suggests that the use of Doppler ultrasound on the umbilical artery in high-risk pregnancies reduces the risk of perinatal deaths and may result in fewer obstetric interventions. The results should be interpreted with caution, as the evidence is not of high quality. Serial monitoring of Doppler changes in ductus venosus may be beneficial, but more studies of high quality with follow-up including neurological development are needed for evidence to be conclusive.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28613398?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Visser, G H A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bilardo, C M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Derks, J B</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrazzi, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fratelli, N</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Frusca, T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ganzevoort, W</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lees, C C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Napolitano, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Todros, T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wolf, H</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hecher, K</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">TRUFFLE group investigators</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fetal monitoring indications for delivery and 2-year outcome in 310 infants with fetal growth restriction delivered before 32 weeks' gestation in the TRUFFLE study.</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%">Cardiotocography</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Delivery, Obstetric</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fetal Growth Retardation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fetal Monitoring</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fetus</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%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Netherlands</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%">Pulsatile Flow</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Survival Analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ultrasonography, Prenatal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Umbilical Arteries</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 Sep</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">50</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">347-352</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 the TRUFFLE (Trial of Randomized Umbilical and Fetal Flow in Europe) study on the outcome of early fetal growth restriction, women were allocated to one of three groups of indication for delivery according to the following monitoring strategies: (1) reduced fetal heart rate (FHR) short-term variation (STV) on cardiotocography (CTG); (2) early changes in fetal ductus venosus (DV) waveform (DV-p95); and (3) late changes in fetal DV waveform (DV-no-A). However, many infants per monitoring protocol were delivered because of safety-net criteria, for maternal or other fetal indications, or after 32 weeks of gestation when the protocol was no longer applied. The objective of the present posthoc subanalysis was to investigate the indications for delivery in relation to 2-year outcome in infants delivered before 32 weeks to further refine management proposals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We included all 310 cases of the TRUFFLE study with known outcome at 2 years' corrected age and seven fetal deaths, excluding seven cases with inevitable perinatal death. Data were analyzed according to the allocated fetal monitoring strategy in combination with the indication for delivery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Overall, only 32% of liveborn infants were delivered according to the specified monitoring parameter for indication for delivery; 38% were delivered because of safety-net criteria, 15% for other fetal reasons and 15% for maternal reasons. In the CTG-STV group, 51% of infants were delivered because of reduced STV. In the DV-p95 group, 34% of infants were delivered because of abnormal DV and, in the DV-no-A group, only 10% of infants were delivered accordingly. The majority of infants in the DV groups were delivered for the safety-net criterion of spontaneous decelerations in FHR. Two-year intact survival was highest in the DV groups combined compared with the CTG-STV group (P = 0.05 for live births only, P = 0.21 including fetal death), with no difference between DV groups. A poorer outcome in the CTG-STV group was restricted to infants delivered because of FHR decelerations in the safety-net subgroup. Infants delivered because of maternal reasons had the highest birth weight and a non-significantly higher intact survival.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;In this subanalysis of infants delivered before 32 weeks, the majority were delivered for reasons other than the allocated monitoring strategy indication. Since, in the DV group, CTG-STV criteria were used as a safety net but in the CTG-STV group, no DV safety-net criteria were applied, we speculate that the slightly poorer outcome in the CTG-STV group might be explained by the absence of DV data. The optimal timing of delivery of fetuses with early intrauterine growth restriction may therefore be best determined by monitoring them longitudinally, with both DV and CTG monitoring.

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%">Bottega, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nicchia, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alfano, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Glembotsky, Ana C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pastore, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bertaggia-Calderara, Debora</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bisig, Bettina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Duchosal, Michel A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arbesú, Guillermo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberio, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heller, Paula G</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%">Gray platelet syndrome: Novel mutations of the NBEAL2 gene.</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.

Cerebellar volumes and body composition were measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and air-displacement plethysmography, respectively, at 40 weeks of gestational age and anthropometric and nutritional data were collected. We also included 20 term-born controls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The mean gestational age and birthweight of the VLBW infants were 29.4 (±1.9) weeks and 1120 (±290) g. There was a positive correlation between cerebellar volumes and daily weight gain from birth to term (R = 0.26, p = 0.001), weight (R = 0.25, p = 0.001), length (R = 0.16, p = 0.01), fat mass (R = 0.15, p = 0.01) and fat-free mass at term (R = 0.20, p = 0.003). In multiple regression analysis, daily weight gain, mechanical ventilation and postconceptional age at MRI were independently associated with cerebellar volumes. Anthropometric data and cerebellar volumes were similar between VLBW and control infants.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Higher growth, higher fat mass and fat-free mass were associated with larger cerebellar volumes in VLBW infants at term.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal"

modulating innate and adaptive immune response and blocking T helper 1 (Th1) cell production. Because the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G molecule has immunomodulatory properties inhibiting the function and production of natural killer and cytotoxic lymphocyte T cells, as well as promoting shift from Th1 toward Th2 response, we hypothesized its involvement in susceptibility to HCV infection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MATERIALS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Considering that HLA-G mRNA expression has been reported to be under genetic control, an association study was conducted analyzing 800 base pairs upstream the ATG at the 5'upstream regulator region (URR) and 850 base pairs from ATG to exon 3 and the 3'untranslated region (UTR) of HLA-G gene in Italian HCV-positive patients and uninfected controls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Four 5'URR polymorphisms (-725C&gt;G&gt;T, -509C&gt;G, -400G&gt;A and -398G&gt;A), 7 polymorphisms at coding region (+15G&gt;A, +36G&gt;A, +243G&gt;A, insC506, 531G&gt;C, delA615 and 685G&gt;A), the +644G&gt;T polymorphism, and 1 haplotype (TTGTTCCIGAC) showed different frequency distributions between HCV patients and uninfected controls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;The results from our study suggest a possible involvement of HLA-G in the risk modulation toward HCV infection.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style

complicated by fetal growth restriction (FGR) between 26 and 32 weeks' gestation, monitoring of the fetal ductus venosus (DV) waveform combined with computed cardiotocography (CTG) to determine timing of delivery increased the chance of infant survival without neurological impairment. However, concerns with the interpretation were raised, as DV monitoring appeared to be associated with a non-significant increase in fetal death, and some infants were delivered after 32 weeks, at which time the study protocol no longer applied. This secondary sensitivity analysis of the TRUFFLE study focuses on women who delivered before 32 completed weeks' gestation and analyzes in detail the cases of fetal death.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Monitoring data of 317 pregnancies with FGR that delivered before 32 weeks were analyzed, excluding those with absent outcome data or inevitable perinatal death. Women were allocated randomly to one of three groups of indication for delivery according to the following monitoring strategies: (1) reduced fetal heart rate short-term variation (STV) on CTG; (2) early changes in fetal DV waveform; and (3) late changes in fetal DV waveform. Primary outcome was 2-year survival without neurological impairment. The association of the last monitoring data before delivery and infant outcome was assessed by multivariable analysis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Two-year survival without neurological impairment occurred more often in the two DV groups (both 83%) than in the CTG-STV group (77%), however, the difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.21). Among the surviving infants in the DV groups, 93% were free of neurological impairment vs 85% of surviving infants in the CTG-STV group (P = 0.049). All fetal deaths (n = 7) occurred in the groups with DV monitoring. Of the monitoring parameters obtained shortly before fetal death in these seven cases, an abnormal CTG was observed in only one case. Multivariable regression analysis of factors at study entry demonstrated that a later gestational age, higher estimated fetal weight-to-50 percentile ratio and lower umbilical artery pulsatility index (PI)/fetal middle cerebral artery-PI ratio were significantly associated with normal outcome. Allocation to DV monitoring had a smaller effect on outcome, but remained in the model (P &lt; 0.1). Abnormal fetal arterial Doppler before delivery was significantly associated with adverse outcome in the CTG-STV group. In contrast, abnormal DV flow was the only monitoring parameter associated with adverse outcome in the DV groups, while fetal arterial Doppler, STV below the cut-off used in the CTG-STV group and recurrent decelerations in fetal heart rate were not.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;In accordance with the findings of the TRUFFLE study on monitoring and intervention management of very preterm FGR, we found that the proportion of infants surviving without neuroimpairment was not significantly different when the decision for delivery was based on changes in DV waveform vs reduced STV on CTG. The uneven distribution of fetal deaths towards the DV groups was probably a chance effect, and neurological outcome was better among surviving children in these groups. Before 32 weeks, delaying delivery until abnormalities in DV-PI or STV and/or recurrent decelerations in fetal heat rate occur, as defined by the study protocol, is likely to be safe and possibly benefits long-term outcome.

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).

Following PCV13 introduction in Malawi in November 2011, we evaluated the case burden and rates of childhood pneumonia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS AND FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;Between January 1, 2012-June 30, 2014 we conducted active pneumonia surveillance in children &lt;5 years at seven hospitals, 18 health centres, and with 38 community health workers in two districts, central Malawi. Eligible children had clinical pneumonia per Malawi guidelines, defined as fast breathing only, chest indrawing +/- fast breathing, or, ≥1 clinical danger sign. Since pulse oximetry was not in the Malawi guidelines, oxygenation &lt;90% defined hypoxemic pneumonia, a distinct category from clinical pneumonia. We quantified the pneumonia case burden and rates in two ways. We compared the period immediately following vaccine introduction (early) to the period with &gt;75% three-dose PCV13 coverage (post). We also used multivariable time-series regression, adjusting for autocorrelation and exploring seasonal variation and alternative model specifications in sensitivity analyses. The early versus post analysis showed an increase in cases and rates of total, fast breathing, and indrawing pneumonia and a decrease in danger sign and hypoxemic pneumonia, and pneumonia mortality. At 76% three-dose PCV13 coverage, versus 0%, the time-series model showed a non-significant increase in total cases (+47%, 95% CI: -13%, +149%, p = 0.154); fast breathing cases increased 135% (+39%, +297%, p = 0.001), however, hypoxemia fell 47% (-5%, -70%, p = 0.031) and hospital deaths decreased 36% (-1%, -58%, p = 0.047) in children &lt;5 years. We observed a shift towards disease without danger signs, as the proportion of cases with danger signs decreased by 65% (-46%, -77%, p&lt;0.0001). These results were generally robust to plausible alternative model specifications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Thirty months after PCV13 introduction in Malawi, the health system burden and rates of the severest forms of childhood pneumonia, including hypoxemia and death, have markedly decreased.&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/28052071?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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 Bonito, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pacifico, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chiesa, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valerio, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miraglia Del Giudice, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maffeis, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morandi, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Invitti, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Licenziati, M R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Loche, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tornese, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Franco, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Manco, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baroni, M G</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">“CARdiometabolic risk factors in overweight and obese children in ITALY” (CARITALY) Study Group</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Impaired fasting glucose and impaired glucose tolerance in children and adolescents with overweight/obesity.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Endocrinol Invest</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Between 2003 and 2013, 3088 youths (972 children and 2116 adolescents) received oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and were included in the study. In 798 individuals, abdominal ultrasound for identification of HS was available.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The prevalence of IFG (3.2 vs. 3.3%) and IGT (4.6 vs. 5.0%) was similar between children and adolescents. Children with isolated IGT had a 2-11 fold increased risk of high LDL-C, non-HDL-C, Tg/HDL-C ratio, and low insulin sensitivity, when compared to those with normal glucose tolerance (NGT). No significant association of IFG with any CMR factor was found in children. Among adolescents, IGT subjects, and to a lesser extent those with IFG, showed a worse CMR profile compared to NGT subgroup. In the overall sample, IGT phenotype showed a twofold increased risk of HS compared to NGT subgroup.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our study shows an unexpected similar prevalence of IFG and IGT between children and adolescents with overweight/obesity. The IGT phenotype was associated with a worse CMR profile in both children and adolescents. Phenotyping prediabetes conditions by OGTT should be done as part of prediction and prevention of cardiometabolic diseases in OW/OB youth since early childhood.&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/27854028?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28302072?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Shukurova, Venera</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Davletbaeva, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monolbaev, Kubanychbek</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kulichenko, Tatiana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Akoev, Yuri</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bakradze, Maya</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Margieva, Tea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mityushino, Ilya</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Namazova-Baranova, Leyla</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boronbayeva, Elnura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kuttumuratova, Aigul</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Weber, Martin Willy</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%">Improving the quality of hospital care for children by supportive supervision: a cluster randomized trial, Kyrgyzstan.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bull World Health Organ</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bull.

We assessed prospectively 10 key indicators of inappropriate paediatric case management, as indicated by WHO guidelines. The primary indicator was the combination of the three indicators: unnecessary hospitalization, increased iatrogenic risk and unnecessary painful procedures. An independent team evaluated the overall quality of care.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;We prospectively reviewed the medical records of 4626 hospitalized children aged 2 to 60 months. In the intervention hospitals, the mean proportion of the primary indicator decreased from 46.9% (95% confidence interval, CI: 24.2 to 68.9) at baseline to 6.8% (95% CI: 1.1 to 12.1) at 1 year, but was unchanged in the control group (45.5%, 95% CI: 25.2 to 67.9, to 64.7%, 95% CI: 43.3 to 86.1). At 1 year, the risk ratio for the primary indicator in the intervention versus the control group was 0.09 (95% CI: 0.06 to 0.13). The proportions of the other nine indicators also decreased in the intervention group ( &lt; 0.0001 for all). Overall quality of care improved significantly in intervention hospitals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Periodic supportive supervision for 1 year after a training course improved both adherence to WHO guidelines on hospital care for children and the overall quality of paediatric care.&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/28603306?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maritati, Martina</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%">Seraceni, Silva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trentini, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corazza, Fabrizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vesce, Fortunato</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Contini, Carlo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Influence of vaginal lactoferrin administration on amniotic fluid cytokines and its role against inflammatory complications of pregnancy.</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%">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%">14</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">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;An altered amniotic cytokine profile has been reported in inflammatory pregnancy complications with a leading role for IL-6, a marker of the foetal systemic inflammatory response. Up to this date there is no exhaustive information neither on the foetal cytokine balance nor on the best method for its modulation. We aimed to evaluate the influence of vaginal lactoferrin administration on amniotic fluid concentration of 47 cytokines, chemokines and growth factors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Sixty women undergoing genetic amniocentesis were enrolled in an open-label clinical trial. 300 mg of vaginal lactoferrin (Florence, Italy) were randomly administered to obtain 3 groups: A, 20 untreated patients; B and C (20 patients in each) respectively treated 4 and 12 h before amniocentesis. Cytokines, chemokines and growth factors concentrations were quantified by a magnetic bead Luminex multiplex immunoassays panel technology. Data analysis was performed with the software Stata (v. 13.1) and GraphPad Prism (v. 5). Group comparisons were performed using Kruskal-Wallis followed by Mann-Whitney U tests, with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons. A  &lt; 0.05 was considered significant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Among the 47 tested mediators, 24 (51.06%) were influenced by lactoferrin. 11 (23.4%), showed a highly significant difference (p &lt;0.001); among these IL-9, IL-15, IFN-γ, IP-10, TNF-α, IL-1α and MCP-3 underwent a down-regulation, while IL-17 and FGF-basic, G-CSF, GM-CSF an up-regulation. Difference between group C and both B and A was small for IL-15, IP-10, IL-1α, MCP-3, while it was negligible for IL-9, IFN-γ and TNF-α. IL-17 and the 3 growth factors were strongly enhanced in B and C groups. IL-17, FGF-basic and GM-CSF showed increasing concentrations in both B and C groups, while G-CSF resulted up-regulated only in group C. Significance was intermediate ( &lt; 0.01) for the down regulated IL-2RA, IL-12p40 and IFNα2 (6.38%) while it was small for 10 mediators (21.27%) 7 of which (IL-2, IL-4, eotaxin, PDGF-BB, RANTES, IL-18 and MIF) down-regulated and 3 (MCP-1, IL-3, and SDF-1α) up-regulated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Lactoferrin down-regulates 17 pro-inflammatory amniotic mediators while up-regulating 7 anti-inflammatory amniotic mediators, 5 of which definitively belonging to an anti-inflammatory profile. These findings open to clinical investigation on its use against inflammatory complications of pregnancy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

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 Evaluation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10072</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28162781?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Norbedo, Stefania</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%">Intranasal Dexmedetomidine for Procedural Sedation in Children, a Suitable Alternative to Chloral Hydrate.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paediatr Drugs</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paediatr Drugs</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%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chloral Hydrate</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dexmedetomidine</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></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017 Apr</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">107-111</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Sedation is often required for children undergoing diagnostic procedures. Chloral hydrate has been one of the sedative drugs most used in children over the last 3 decades, with supporting evidence for its efficacy and safety. Recently, chloral hydrate was banned in Italy and France, in consideration of evidence of its carcinogenicity and genotoxicity. Dexmedetomidine is a sedative with unique properties that has been increasingly used for procedural sedation in children. Several studies demonstrated its efficacy and safety for sedation in non-painful diagnostic procedures. Dexmedetomidine's impact on respiratory drive and airway patency and tone is much less when compared to the majority of other sedative agents. Administration via the intranasal route allows satisfactory procedural success rates. Studies that specifically compared intranasal dexmedetomidine and chloral hydrate for children undergoing non-painful procedures showed that dexmedetomidine was as effective as and safer than chloral hydrate. For these reasons, we suggest that intranasal dexmedetomidine could be a suitable alternative to chloral hydrate.&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/28275979?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Lega, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giorgi, Rita</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%">Intranasal Dexmedetomidine Sedation as Adjuvant Therapy in Acute Asthma Exacerbation With Marked Anxiety and Agitation.</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><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acute Disease</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Administration, Intranasal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anxiety</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Asthma</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dexmedetomidine</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%">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%">Psychomotor Agitation</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</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">69</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">125-127</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;We describe 2 patients with acute asthma exacerbation who were admitted to the emergency department (ED) with severe agitation and restlessness as a prominent finding, for which bedside asthma treatment sedation with intranasal dexmedetomidine was performed.

The objective of this paper was to assess complementary feeding practices, looking at timing, type, and compliance with World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations. Data were obtained from a birth cohort of 400 infants, enrolled in Trieste (Italy) between July 2007 and July 2008 and followed up for three years, using a &quot;food introduction timing table&quot;. Five WHO recommendations standards were used to assess parental compliance and associated factors. Thirty seven percent of mothers returned the completed &quot;timing table&quot; up until the child was three years of age. Eighty six percent of infants were already receiving complementary foods at six months. The first food type to be introduced was fresh fruit (170 days from birth, median). Overall, infants shared a very similar diet, which was different from the family diet and characterized by delayed introduction of certain food types. Five percent of parents complied with either all five or only one of the WHO recommendations, 34% with three, and 35% with four. The parents' partial compliance with WHO recommendations is probably due to conflicting information received from different sources. This advocates for national evidence-based guidelines, supported and promoted by health professionals.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default"

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%">Pasini, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benetti, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Conti, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ghio, Luciana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lepore, Marta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Massella, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molino, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peruzzi, Licia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Emma, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fede, Carmelo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trivelli, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maringhini, Silvio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Materassi, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Messina, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montini, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Murer, Luisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecoraro, Carmine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pennesi, Marco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The Italian Society for Pediatric Nephrology (SINePe) consensus document on the management of nephrotic syndrome in children: Part I - Diagnosis and treatment of the first episode and the first relapse.</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%">Adrenal Cortex Hormones</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%">Consensus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dose-Response Relationship, Drug</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Drug Administration Schedule</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%">Italy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nephrotic Syndrome</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Practice Guidelines as Topic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prognosis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Recurrence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retreatment</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Societies, Medical</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Survival Rate</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 Apr 21</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">43</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;This consensus document is aimed at providing an updated, multidisciplinary overview on the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric nephrotic syndrome (NS) at first presentation. It is the first consensus document of its kind to be produced by all the pediatric nephrology centres in Italy, in line with what is already present in other countries such as France, Germany and the USA. It is based on the current knowledge surrounding the symptomatic and steroid treatment of NS, with a view to providing the basis for a separate consensus document on the treatment of relapses. NS is one of the most common pediatric glomerular diseases, with an incidence of around 2-7 cases per 100000 children per year. Corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment, but the optimal therapeutic regimen for managing childhood idiopathic NS is still under debate. In Italy, shared treatment guidelines were lacking and, consequently, the choice of steroid regimen was based on the clinical expertise of each individual unit. On the basis of the 2015 Cochrane systematic review, KDIGO Guidelines and more recent data from the literature, this working group, with the contribution of all the pediatric nephrology centres in Italy and on the behalf of the Italian Society of Pediatric Nephrology, has produced a shared steroid protocol that will be useful for National Health System hospitals and pediatricians. Investigations at initial presentation and the principal causes of NS to be screened are suggested. In the early phase of the disease, symptomatic treatment is also important as many severe complications can occur which are either directly related to the pathophysiology of the underlying NS or to the steroid treatment itself. To date, very few studies have been published on the prophylaxis and treatment of these early complications, while recommendations are either lacking or conflicting. This consensus provides indications for the prevention, early recognition and treatment of these complications (management of edema and hypovolemia, therapy and prophylaxis of infections and thromboembolic events). Finally, recommendations about the clinical definition of steroid resistance and its initial diagnostic management, as well as indications for renal biopsy are provided.&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/28427453?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Bembich, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fiani, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Strajn, Tamara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sanesi, Cecilia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Demarini, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sanson, Gianfranco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Longitudinal Responses to Weighing and Bathing Procedures in Preterm Infants.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Perinat Neonatal Nurs</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Perinat Neonatal Nurs</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baths</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Body Weight</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 Behavior</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant Care</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%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neonatal Nursing</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 Jan/Mar</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">31</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">67-74</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Knowledge of the effects of nursing-induced stress on short-term outcomes in preterm infants is limited. Effects of 2 standard nursing procedures-weighing and bathing-on autonomic and motor stability of preterm infants were studied during their hospitalization. Outcomes were evaluated during and after the procedures. Eleven preterm infants were observed between 32 and 35 weeks' postmenstrual age (PMA) (postnatal days range: 4-63). Neonatal responses were assessed according to the Synactive Theory of Development and nursing was performed taking into account Newborn Individualized Developmental Care and Assessment Program (NIDCAP) principles. Effects of the studied nursing procedures on infants' stability during and after their execution were evaluated by nonparametric statistics. During monitored procedures, stress responses in autonomic and motor systems were observed at all PMAs. However, after 32 weeks' PMA, preterm infants also showed an autonomic and motor stability recovery 5 minutes after procedure completion. Contrary to our hypothesis, preterm infants showed to be stressed by weighing and bathing procedures up to 35 weeks' PMA. However, if facilitated and supported after nursing conclusion by interventions such as swaddling and nesting, according to NIDCAP principles, they recovered autonomic and motor stability by 5 minutes after ending procedures.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

longitudinal pattern of fetal heart rate (FHR) short-term variation (STV) can be used to identify imminent fetal distress and whether abnormalities of FHR recordings are associated with 2-year infant outcome.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;The original TRUFFLE study assessed whether, in early FGR, delivery based on ductus venosus (DV) Doppler pulsatility index (PI), in combination with safety-net criteria of very low STV on cardiotocography (CTG) and/or recurrent FHR decelerations, could improve 2-year infant survival without neurological impairment in comparison with delivery based on CTG monitoring only. This was a secondary analysis of women who delivered before 32 weeks and had consecutive STV data recorded &gt; 3 days before delivery and known infant outcome at 2 years of age. Women who received corticosteroids within 3 days of delivery were excluded. Individual regression line algorithms of all STV values, except the last one before delivery, were calculated. Life tables and Cox regression analysis were used to calculate the daily risk for low STV or very low STV and/or FHR decelerations (below DV group safety-net criteria) and to assess which parameters were associated with this risk. Furthermore, it was assessed whether STV pattern, last STV value or recurrent FHR decelerations were associated with 2-year infant outcome.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;One hundred and forty-nine women from the original TRUFFLE study met the inclusion criteria. Using the individual STV regression lines, prediction of a last STV below the cut-off used by the CTG monitoring group had sensitivity of 42% and specificity of 91%. For each day after study inclusion, the median risk for low STV (CTG group cut-off) was 4% (interquartile range (IQR), 2-7%) and for very low STV and/or recurrent FHR decelerations (below DV group safety-net criteria) was 5% (IQR, 4-7%). Measures of STV pattern, fetal Doppler (arterial or venous), birth-weight multiples of the median and gestational age did not usefully improve daily risk prediction. There was no association of STV regression coefficients, a low last STV and/or recurrent FHR decelerations with short- or long-term infant outcomes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;The TRUFFLE study showed that a strategy of DV monitoring with safety-net criteria of very low STV and/or recurrent FHR decelerations for delivery indication could increase 2-year infant survival without neurological impairment. This post-hoc analysis demonstrates that, in early FGR, the daily risk of abnormal CTG, as defined by the DV group safety-net criteria, is 5%, and that prediction is not possible. This supports the rationale for CTG monitoring more often than daily in these high-risk fetuses. Low STV and/or recurrent FHR decelerations were not associated with adverse infant outcome and it appears safe to delay intervention until such abnormalities occur, as long as DV-PI is within normal range.

Affected patients are prone to early severe mycobacterial and viral infections, which usually result in death before 18 months of age. We previously reported a patient affected by complete STAT1 deficiency who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Here, we describe the transplantation procedures and long-term outcomes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;The patient, who had suffered multiple life-threatening mycobacterial and viral infections in the first years of life, underwent HSCT at 4 years of age from a partially matched (HLA compatibility 8/10) unrelated donor after a myeloablative conditioning regimen consisting of busulfan, cyclophosphamide, and anti-thymocyte globulin.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Hematological reconstitution was detected at d+15, with full donor engraftment demonstrated by molecular analysis of leukocytes. Several complications occurred in the post-transplantation phase, including acute graft versus host disease, posterior reversible encephalopathy, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, bilateral keratoconjunctivitis with complete loss of vision, and chronic lower limb lymphedema. Analysis of STAT1 in CD3 cells at 90 and 120 days after HSCT by flow cytometry showed normal STAT1 phosphorylation levels in response to IFN-α.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Notably, no severe infections occurred after discharge (day + 90) during a 9-year follow-up, suggesting that normal response to IFNs in hematopoietic cells is sufficient to provide protection in humans.&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/28815344?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Stampalija, Tamara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arabin, Birgit</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wolf, Hans</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bilardo, Caterina M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lees, Christoph</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">TRUFFLE investigators</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Is middle cerebral artery Doppler related to neonatal and 2-year infant outcome in early fetal growth restriction?</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.

It remains unclear as to whether this finding could be useful in timing delivery, especially in the third trimester. In this regard there is a paucity of evidence from prospective studies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVES: &lt;/b&gt;The aim of this study was to determine whether there is an association between middle cerebral artery Doppler impedance and its ratio with the umbilical artery in relation to neonatal and 2 year infant outcome in early fetal growth restriction (26-31 weeks of gestation). Additionally we sought to explore which ratio is more informative for clinical use.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;STUDY DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;This is a secondary analysis from the Trial of Randomized Umbilical and Fetal Flow in Europe, a prospective, multicenter, randomized management study on different antenatal monitoring strategies (ductus venosus Doppler changes and computerized cardiotocography short-term variation) in fetal growth restriction diagnosed between 26 and 31 weeks. We analyzed women with middle cerebral artery Doppler measurement at study entry and within 1 week before delivery and with complete postnatal follow-up (374 of 503). The primary outcome was survival without neurodevelopmental impairment at 2 years corrected for prematurity. Neonatal outcome was defined as survival until first discharge home without severe neonatal morbidity. Z-scores were calculated for middle cerebral artery pulsatility index and both umbilicocerebral and cerebroplacental ratios. Odds ratios of Doppler parameter Z-scores for neonatal and 2 year infant outcome were calculated by multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusted for gestational age and birthweight p50 ratio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Higher middle cerebral artery pulsatility index at inclusion but not within 1 week before delivery was associated with neonatal survival without severe morbidity (odds ratio, 1.24; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-1.52). Middle cerebral artery pulsatility index Z-score and umbilicocerebral ratio Z-score at inclusion were associated with 2 year survival with normal neurodevelopmental outcome (odds ratio, 1.33; 95% confidence interval, 1.03-1.72, and odds ratio, 0.88; 95% confidence interval, 0.78-0.99, respectively) as were gestation at delivery and birthweight p50 ratio (odds ratio, 1.41; 95% confidence interval, 1.20-1.66, and odds ratio, 1.86; 95% confidence interval, 1.33-2.60, respectively). When comparing cerebroplacental ratio against umbilicocerebral ratio, the incremental range of the cerebroplacental ratio tended toward zero, whereas the umbilicocerebral ratio tended toward infinity as the values became more abnormal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;In a monitoring protocol based on ductus venosus and cardiotocography in early fetal growth restriction (26-31 weeks of gestation), the impact of middle cerebral artery Doppler and its ratios on outcome is modest and less marked than birthweight and delivery gestation. It is unlikely that middle cerebral artery Doppler and its ratios are informative in optimizing the timing of delivery in fetal growth restriction before 32 weeks of gestation. The umbilicocerebral ratio allows for a better differentiation in the abnormal range than the cerebroplacental ratio.&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/28087423?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poillucci, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Degrassi, Ferruccio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guida, Edoardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pederiva, Federica</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&quot;Milky&quot; bowel and malrotation.</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><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Appendectomy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chylous Ascites</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Digestive System Abnormalities</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Follow-Up Studies</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%">Intestinal Volvulus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Laparotomy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rare Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Severity of Illness Index</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tomography, X-Ray Computed</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Treatment Outcome</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ultrasonography, Doppler</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 08</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">162</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">468-469</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/27666155?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dibello, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Odoni, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pederiva, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Carlo, Valentina</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MRI in Postreduction Evaluation of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip: Our Experience.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Pediatr Orthop</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Pediatr Orthop</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 Jun 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;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is one of the most common congenital defects in the newborn. When its severe form is not corrected, it is associated with long-term morbidity. Closed reduction with casting is the standard primary treatment and reduction is confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). We reported our experience on the reliability of MRI in postreduction assessment of DDH.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;All children who underwent closed reduction for Graf type IV DDH at our institution between September 2010 and June 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Since 2010 we assessed postreduction position of the femoral head by performing a MRI.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Twenty-five (5 male, 20 female) patients presented with 29 (15 left sided, 6 right sided, 4 bilateral) Graf type IV DDH and underwent closed reduction at a mean age of 3.4 months. In all patients MRI studies performed within 24 hours were diagnostic, showing a concentric reduction of the femoral head within the acetabulum in 24/25 patients. In the patient with persistent hip instability, a subsequent open reduction was performed. In all the cases, there was no need of any contention or sedation during MRI.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;On the basis of our experience, MRI is an excellent, safe and, reliable modality to confirm maintenance of adequate femoral head position and to evaluate soft tissue interposition. We agree that MRI is the gold standard to early depict dislocation after closed reduction of DDH.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28614289?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">De Rocco, Daniela</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%">Pecci, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bottega, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gnan, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Palombo, Flavia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giordano, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coccioli, Maria Susanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Glembotsky, Ana C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heller, Paula G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seri, Marco</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%">Mutations of RUNX1 in families with inherited thrombocytopenia.</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.

monoclonal antibody directed against the α4 chain of the very late activating antigen 4 and α4β7 integrins, present on the leukocytes surface, used as monotherapy for the treatment of relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. It substantially reduces relapse rate and the accumulation of disability, but its use is associated with a very adverse event, that is the development of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, a fatal demyelinating disease of the CNS, due to the lytic replication of the human polyomavirus JC. The main focus of the review is to describe the newest insights on natalizumab, its current use in the clinical practice, the natalizumab-treated patients' management and the risk stratification related to the progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy development.&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/28004598?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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 contribution. 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. These robustly implicated genes may provide new leads for therapeutic innovation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28739976?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bonotti, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foddis, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Landi, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Melaiu, O</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Santi, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giusti, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Donadio, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ciregia, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mazzoni, M R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lucacchini, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bovenzi, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comar, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pantani, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pistelli, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cristaudo, A</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A Novel Panel of Serum Biomarkers for MPM Diagnosis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dis Markers</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dis.

Since the only tools for early detection are based on radiological tests, some authors focused on serum markers (i.e., mesothelin). The aim of this study was the evaluation of new serum biomarkers to be used individually or in combination, in order to improve the outcome of patients whose disease would be diagnosed at an earlier stage. Serum and plasma were available from 43 subjects previously exposed to asbestos and 27 MPM patients, all being epithelioid type. All the new markers found differentially expressed in MPM and healthy subjects, by proteomic and genomic approaches, have been validated in the serum by the use of specific ELISA. The combined approach, using tools of genomics and proteomics, is found to be highly innovative for this type of disease and led to the identification of new serum markers in the diagnosis of MPM. These results, if confirmed in a larger series, may have a strong impact in this area, because early detection of this cancer in people at high risk could significantly improve the course of the disease and the clinical approach to an individualized therapy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28348450?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Parentin, Fulvio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nider, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rassu, Nicolò</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></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ocular Involvement in Children with 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.

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"

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%">Travan, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Naviglio, Samuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Cunto, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pellegrin, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecile, Vanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spinelli, Alessandro Mauro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cappellani, Stefania</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%">Phenotypic expression of 19q13.32 microdeletions: Report of a new patient and review of the literature.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Med Genet A</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am.

Ineffective therapies may lead to bone fractures and subsequent death. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in key immune regulator genes have been associated with therapeutic response to bisphosphonates, which are the first therapeutic line of choice for osteoporosis. However, cytokine pathways and their relation with therapeutic adhesion remain to be fully elucidated. Aimed at better understanding these processes, we investigated the response to bisphosphonate therapy in postmenopausal women and four SNPs in key proinflammatory cytokines genes: IL23R +2284 (C&gt;A) (rs10889677), IL17A +672 (G&gt;A) (rs7747909), IL12B +1188 (T&gt;G) (rs3212227) and INF-γ -1616 (G&gt;A) (rs2069705). A total of 69 patients treated with bisphosphonate were followed for a period of 1 up to 4 years, genotyped and compared according to their changes in bone mineral density (BMD) and level of biochemical markers during their treatment. The INF-γ -1616 G/G associated with increased BMD values in femoral neck (GG/AA, p = 0.016) and decreased BMD values in total hip (GG/GA, p = 0.019; GG/AA, p = 0.011). In relation to biochemical markers, INF-γ -1616 SNP associated with increased alkaline phosphatase (GG/AA; p &lt; 0.0001) and parathyroid hormone levels (AA/GA; p = 0.017). Vitamin D values changes were related to IL17A +672 (GG/GA, p = 0.034) and to IL12B +1188 (TT/TG, p = 0.046) SNPs. Besides, significant differences in changes of calcium levels correlated with IL23R +2284 (CC/CA, p = 0.016) genotypes. Altogether, we suggest that these polymorphisms may play an important role for therapeutic decisions in osteoporosis treatment.&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/28220389?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Simonini, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bracaglia, Claudia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cattalini, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taddio, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brambilla, Alice</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Libero, Cinzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pires Marafon, Denise</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caputo, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cimaz, Rolando</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Predictors of Relapse after Discontinuing Systemic Treatment in Childhood Autoimmune Chronic Uveitis.</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.

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%">Lora, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scrimin, Federica</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%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A premenarcheal girl with urogenital bleeding.</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 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%">Velkoski, Angelika</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amoroso, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brovedani, Pierpaolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cont, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trappan, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Travan, Laura</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Presentation of acute suppurative parotitis in a newborn with incessant crying.</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.

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%).

We focused our attention on the human Polyomavirus JC (JCPyV), that is a small, naked DNA virus, belonging to the  family. It is the recognized etiological agent of the Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML), a fatal demyelinating disease, occurring in immunosuppressed individuals. JCPyV is able to induce cell transformation in vitro when infecting non-permissive cells, that do not support viral replication and JCPyV inoculation into small animal models and non human primates drives to tumor formation. The molecular mechanisms involved in JCPyV oncogenesis have been extensively studied: the main oncogenic viral protein is the large tumor antigen (T-Ag), that is able to bind, among other cellular factors, both Retinoblastoma protein (pRb) and p53 and to dysregulate the cell cycle, but also the early proteins small tumor antigen (t-Ag) and Agnoprotein appear to cooperate in the process of cell transformation. Consequently, it is not surprising that JCPyV genomic sequences and protein expression have been detected in Central Nervous System (CNS) tumors and colon cancer and an association between this virus and several brain and non CNS-tumors has been proposed. However, the significances of these findings are under debate because there is still insufficient evidence of a casual association between JCPyV and solid cancer development. In this paper we summarized and critically analyzed the published literature, in order to describe the current knowledge on the possible role of JCPyV in the development of human tumors.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28174598?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Ghirardo, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fiorese, Ilaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Proietti, Ilaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minute, Marta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calligaris, Lorenzo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk of hospitalisation after early-revisit in the emergency department.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Paediatr Child Health</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Paediatr Child Health</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%">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%">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%">Retrospective Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk Assessment</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tertiary Care Centers</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Time Factors</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 Sep</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">53</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">850-854</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;Early-revisits are frequent in the paediatric emergency department (ED) setting, but few data are available about early-revisited patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the hospitalisation rate of a population of early-revisited patients and to detect if an early-revisited patient was at risk of a more severe disease.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Between June 2014 and January 2015, we conducted a retrospective cohort study, considering all patients presented to the ED of a tertiary level children's hospital in Italy. We selected all patients who were revisited within 72 h from the initial visit (study cohort), while all other patients accessed in the same period were considered the control cohort. The two cohorts were compared for age, gender, triage category, hospitalisation rate, diagnosis at admission and hospital length of stay.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;In the study period, we reviewed 10 750 visits, of which 430 (4%) were unplanned revisits for the same chief complaint within 72 h from the initial visit. Hospitalisation rate of early-revisited patients was significantly higher compared to control patients (8.4 vs. 2.9%). Hospitalisation rate increases in parallel with the number of revisits, but in many cases, it was not directly related to a worst triage category, neither to a longer hospital length of stay.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Early revisited patients in the ED had a significantly higher risk of hospitalisation, but this risk was only partially related to their clinical conditions.&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/28513890?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">El Hachem, Maya</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gesualdo, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diociaiuti, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berti, Irene</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vercellino, Nadia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boccaletti, Valeria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neri, Iria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Porcedda, Giulio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Greco, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carnevale, Claudia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oranges, Teresa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cutrone, Mario</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dalmonte, Pietro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Safety and effectiveness of oral propranolol for infantile hemangiomas started before 5 weeks and after 5 months of age: an Italian multicenter experience.</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%">Administration, Oral</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Age Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cohort Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dose-Response Relationship, Drug</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Drug Administration Schedule</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hemangioma</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%">Patient Safety</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Propranolol</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retrospective Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Skin Neoplasms</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 Apr 19</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">43</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">40</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;Despite not being licensed for the treatment of infantile hemangiomas (IH) in infants younger than 5 weeks or older than 5 months, propranolol is often used in these age groups to prevent or to treat potentially severe complications. The objective of the present study was to review the experience of 8 Italian pediatric and dermatologic centers regarding propranolol treatment for IH started before 5 weeks or after 5 months of age.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients followed up for IH, on propranolol treatment started before 5 weeks or after 5 months of age, and collected information on sociodemographic data, treatment indications, IH involution, IH relapse, and treatment side effects.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;A total of 343 patients were enrolled; 15 were started on propranolol before 5 weeks (group 1), 328 were started after 5 months of age (group 2). The most frequent indications were permanent aesthetical disfigurement (91.8%) and function threatening complications (42.6%). In most cases, the treatment was effective. The involution was partial in 67.7% of patients. In 11.8% of cases a relapse was observed. No relapse was observed in group 1. Treatment complications were reported in 15.8% of children, most frequently sleep disorders (6.6%), followed by irritability (5.1%) and diarrhea (2.2%). Only a case of mild constipation was observed in group 1.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;The safety and effectiveness profile of propranolol in infants younger than 5 weeks or older than 5 months may be acceptable. Taking in account propranolol's potential in preventing severe complications, further studies should assess the acceptability of propranolol treatment, especially in the &lt;5-week age group .&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/28424095?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Toschetti, Annamaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comar, Manola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taranto, Rosanna Di</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berton, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stacchi, Claudio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shifts of subgingival bacterial population after nonsurgical and pharmacological therapy of localized aggressive periodontitis, followed for 1 year by Ion Torrent PGM platform.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur J Dent</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur J Dent</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 Jan-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%">126-129</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 possibility of targeting the hypervariable region V3 of the 16S rRNA gene using Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine (PGM) could provide a complete analysis of subgingival plaque samples, potentially able to identify microbiological species missed by culture-based methods. A 16-year-old female smoker patient, affected by localized aggressive periodontitis, underwent a full-mouth disinfection protocol and was inserted in a 3-month recall program. Microbiological samples were collected at baseline and at 30, 100, 365 days follow-up and analyzed by Ion Torrent PGM. , , , and  were the most represented pathogens at baseline. Nonsurgical treatment and systemic antibiotics drastically lowered the anaerobic species, and their presence remained limited after 100 days, while a consistent recolonization by anaerobic bacteria was detected at 365 days. The patient showed a general improvement of periodontal conditions. Differently from polymerase chain reaction and other microarray techniques, Ion Torrent performs a quantitative analysis of the microbiota, irrespective of the searched species. An accurate definition of the shifts of the bacterial community might help periodontal researchers for a better understanding of the impact of different treatment approaches or in intercepting nonresponsive conditions.&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/28435379?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Minute, Marta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Skabar, Aldo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pirrone, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jaber, Mohamad</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neri, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montico, Marcella</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%">Somatic symptom disorder was common in children and adolescents attending an emergency department complaining of pain.</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%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</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%">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%">Medically Unexplained Symptoms</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pain</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prospective Studies</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 Apr</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">106</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">586-593</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 this study was to quantify the prevalence of somatic pain in a paediatric emergency department (ED).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We conducted a prospective observational study using patients admitted to the ED of an Italian children's hospital between December 2014 and February 2015. We enrolled children aged 7-17 who turned up at the ED complaining of pain. Patients and parents were asked to fill in a questionnaire to allow the analysis of the patients' medical history and provide contact details for follow-up. We divided the enrolled patients into four groups: post-traumatic pain, organic pain, functional pain and somatic pain. The questionnaire was used to define pain characteristics and to generate an impairment score.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Of the 713 patients who met inclusion criteria, 306 (42.9%) were enrolled in the study. Of these, 135 (44.0%) suffered from post-traumatic pain, 104 (34.0%) from organic pain, 41 (13.4%) from functional pain and 26 (8.6%) from somatic pain. Somatic pain patients had endured pain longer, had missed more school days and had suffered severe functional impairment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;This study highlighted that somatic pain was a significant contributor to paediatric emergency room visits and should be suspected and diagnosed in children reporting pain.&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/28052403?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Pederiva, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paloni, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berti, Irene</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Subcutaneous Granuloma Annulare: A Diagnostic Conundrum-Learning From Mistakes.</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%">Arm</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Connective Tissue Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diagnosis, Differential</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Granuloma Annulare</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%">Leg</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ultrasonography, Doppler, Color</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 Aug</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">33</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e30-e31</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Subcutaneous granuloma annulare is an inflammatory lesion occurring in otherwise healthy children.

Footprints of the oncogenic viruses Simian Virus 40 (SV40) and JC Virus (JCPyV) have been recently detected in human WJSCs specimens. The aim of this study is to evaluate if WJSCs can be efficiently infected by these Polyomaviruses and if they can potentially exert tumoral activity. Cell culture experiments indicated that WJSCs could sustain both SV40 and JCPyV infections. A transient and lytic replication was observed for JCPyV, while SV40 persistently infected WJSCs over a long period of time, releasing a viral progeny at low titer without evident cytopathic effect (CPE). Considering the association between SV40 and human tumors and the reported ability of the oncogenic viruses to drive the host innate immune response to cell transformation, the expression profile of a large panel of immune mediators was evaluated in supernatants by the Bioplex platform. RANTES, IL-3, MIG, and IL-12p40, involved in chronic inflammation, cells differentiation, and transformation, were constantly measured at high concentration comparing to control. These findings represent a new aspect of SV40 biological activity in the humans, highlighting its interaction with specific host cellular pathways.

In the Qatari population the role of GJB2, the worldwide HHL major player, seems to be quite limited compared to Caucasian populations. In this study we analysed 18 Qatari families affected by non-syndromic hearing loss using a targeted sequencing approach that allowed us to analyse 81 genes simultaneously. Thanks to this approach, 50% of these families (9 out of 18) resulted positive for the presence of likely causative alleles in 6 different genes: CDH23, MYO6, GJB6, OTOF, TMC1 and OTOA. In particular, 4 novel alleles were detected while the remaining ones were already described to be associated to HHL in other ethnic groups. Molecular modelling has been used to further investigate the role of novel alleles identified in CDH23 and TMC1 genes demonstrating their crucial role in Ca2+ binding and therefore possible functional role in proteins. Present study showed that an accurate molecular diagnosis based on next generation sequencing technologies might largely improve molecular diagnostics outcome leading to benefits for both genetic counseling and definition of recurrence risk.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28501645?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pellegrin, Maria Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Naviglio, Samuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cattaruzzi, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</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 Teenager with Sudden Unilateral Breast Enlargement.</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.

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 face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28478442?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Magurano, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baggieri, Melissa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Filia, Antonietta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Del Manso, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lazzarotto, Tiziana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amendola, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Agaro, Pierlanfranco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chironna, Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ansaldi, Filippo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iannazzo, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bucci, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marchi, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nicoletti, Loredana</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Measles Surveillance Group</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Towards measles elimination in Italy: Virological surveillance and genotypes trend (2013-2015).</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Virus Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Virus 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%">Aged</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%">Disease Outbreaks</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%">Italy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Measles</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Measles virus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molecular Epidemiology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phylogeny</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RNA, Viral</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sentinel Surveillance</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 05 15</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">236</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">24-29</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 accordance with the goal of the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe, the Italian National Measles and Rubella Elimination Plan aimed to interrupt indigenous measles transmission in Italy by the end of 2015. However, from 2013 to 2015, Italy experienced high measles burden with 4902 measles cases (49.3% laboratory-confirmed) reported to the enhanced measles surveillance system (cumulative incidence in the triennium reference period: 2.4/100,000 population). The measles elimination goal was not reached. Laboratory surveillance of measles circulating genotypes is performed by the Measles and Rubella National Reference Laboratory (NRL) at the Italian National Institute of Health (Istituto Superiore di Sanità - ISS), in Rome. Samples received from 1 January 2013-31 December 2015 were analysed. Those positive for measles genome by molecular tests were sequenced and phylogenetically analysed. Phylogenetic analysis performed by NRL identified that genotypes D4 and D8 were endemic and co-circulated in 2011-2013: study results show that genotype D4 disappeared during 2013. Sporadic cases were associated to genotype B3 during 2011-2013, which became endemic in Italy during 2014 and co-circulated with D8 until 2015. Sporadic cases were found belonging to genotypes D9 and H1 all over the period in exam. Similar trend has been observed in European WHO Region.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28522332?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cegolon, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heymann, W C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Xodo, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lange, J H</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Training in Occupational Medicine: Jurisprudential Malfunctions in the Italian System and European Perspectives.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann Ig</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann Ig</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Certification</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">European Union</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Occupational Medicine</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-Jun</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">29</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">197-205</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;To practice occupational health in Europe, a medical doctor must qualify in occupational medicine. This requires a period of postgraduate specialist medical training lasting a minimum of four years, in conformity with European regulations, to obtain a certificate of completion of training which is then mutually recognized within the entire European Union.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DISCUSSION: &lt;/b&gt;In 2002 an Italian law allowed doctors specialized in public health medicine and legal/forensic medicine to also practice as consultants in occupational medicine in the country. However a subsequent law in 2008 determined that only physicians specialized in occupational medicine could freely practice as consultants in this discipline. The other two categories (consultants in public health medicine and consultants in legal/forensic medicine) were required to undertake additional training (a Master course) to qualify as consultants in occupational medicine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Doctors who entered postgraduate training in public health or legal/forensic medicine before 2008, with the option to practice also as consultants in occupational medicine upon completion of their training, suffered an unprecedented and legally questionable retroactive application of this new law which stripped them of previously acquired rights. Moreover, even after qualifying by undertaking this extra training in occupational medicine, the latter two categories of doctors do not have their training recognized in other member states of the European Union. To disallow the rights of doctors qualified in occupational medicine to work as consultants in the latter medical discipline elsewhere within the European Union seems a clear violation of professional rights and, as such, legal action could be taken to submit this issue to European attention.&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/28383611?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Zennaro, Floriana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pastore, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cimaz, Rolando</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">An Update on the Pathogenesis and Treatment of Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis in Children.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paediatr Drugs</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paediatr Drugs</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adrenal Cortex Hormones</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chronic Disease</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diagnosis, Differential</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Osteomyelitis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Recurrence</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%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017 Jun</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">165-172</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO), also known as chronic non-bacterial osteomyelitis (CNO), is a rare inflammatory disorder that primarily affects children. It is characterized by pain, local bone expansion, and radiological findings suggestive of osteomyelitis, usually at multiple sites. CRMO predominantly affects the metaphyses of long bones, but involvement of the clavicle or mandible are suggestive of the diagnosis. CRMO is a diagnosis of exclusion, and its pathogenesis remains unknown. Differential diagnosis includes infection, malignancies, benign bone tumors, metabolic disorders, and other autoinflammatory disorders. Biopsy of the bone lesion is not often required but could be necessary in unclear cases, especially for differentiation from bone neoplasia. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the first-line treatment. Alternative therapies have been used, including corticosteroids, methotrexate, bisphosphonates, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitors. No guidelines have been established regarding diagnosis and treatment options. This manuscript gives an overview of the most recent findings on the pathogenesis of CRMO and clinical approaches for patients with the condition.&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/28401420?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Littooij, Annemieke S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kwee, Thomas C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Enríquez, Goya</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Verbeke, Jonathan I M L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Granata, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beishuizen, Auke</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Lange, Charlotte</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zennaro, Floriana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bruin, Marrie C A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nievelstein, Rutger A J</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Whole-body MRI reveals high incidence of osteonecrosis in children treated for Hodgkin lymphoma.</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.

The incidence of osteonecrosis in children treated for Hodgkin lymphoma is unknown because prospective whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies are lacking in this patient population. Paediatric patients with newly diagnosed Hodgkin lymphoma who were treated according to a uniform paediatric Hodgkin protocol were eligible for inclusion in this prospective study. Whole-body MRI was performed in all 24 included patients (mean age 15·1 years, 12 girls) both before treatment and after 2 cycles of chemotherapy, and in 16 patients after completion of chemotherapy. Osteonecrosis was identified in 10 patients (41·7%, 95% confidence interval: 22·0-61·4%), with a total of 56 osteonecrotic sites. Osteonecrosis was detected in 8 patients after 2 cycles of OEPA (vincristine, etoposide, prednisone, doxorubicin), and in 2 additional patients after completion of chemotherapy. Epiphyseal involvement of long bones was seen in 4 of 10 children. None of the patients with osteonecrosis had any signs of bone collapse at the times of scanning. Whole-body MRI demonstrates osteonecrosis to be a common finding occurring during therapy response assessment of paediatric Hodgkin lymphoma. Detection of early epiphyseal osteonecrosis could allow for treatment before bone collapse and joint damage may occur.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default"

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.

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%">Moressa, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pastore, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Naviglio, Samuele</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 young goalkeeper with buttock pain and fever.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMJ</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMJ</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Buttocks</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fever</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%">Musculoskeletal Pain</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pyomyositis</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 08</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">357</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">j2400</style></pages><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/28596179?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Caracciolo, Ilaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Agaro, Pierlanfranco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zika virus induces inflammasome activation in the glial cell line U87-MG.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biochem Biophys Res Commun</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biochem.

ZIKV infection has been associated to neurological disorders such as congenital microcephaly in newborns and Guillain-Barré syndrome, myelopathy and encephalitis in adults. ZIKV is characterized by neurotropism and neurovirulence. Several studies have identified microglial nodules, gliosis, neuronal and glial cells degeneration and necrosis in the brain of ZIKV infected infants, suggesting that ZIKV could play a role in these neurological disorders through neuroinflammation and microglial activation. Little information is available about neuroinflammation and ZIKV-related neurological disorders. Therefore, we investigated if ZIKV is able to infect a glial cell line (U87-MG) and how the glial cell line responds to this infection in terms of inflammation (IL-1β, NLRP-3 and CASP-1), oxidative stress (SOD2 and HemeOX) and cell death. We observed a significant increase of ZIKV load in both cells and supernatants after 72 h, compared to 48 h of infection. We found that ZIKV infection induces an increase of IL-1β, NLRP-3 and CASP-1 genes expression. Significant increase of IL-1β and unchanged pro-IL-1β protein levels have also been detected. Moreover, we observed SOD2 and HemeOX increased gene expression mainly after 72 h post ZIKV infection. Subsequently, we found a decrease of U87-MG cell viability, after both 48 h and 72 h of ZIKV infection. Our results show that U87-MG cells are susceptible to ZIKV infection. ZIKV is able to successfully replicate in infected cells causing oxidative stress, NLRP3 inflammasome activation and subsequent release of mature IL-1β; this process culminates in cell death. Thus, considering the central role of neuroinflammation in neurological disorders, it is important to comprehend every aspect of this mechanism in order to better understand the pathogenesis of ZIKV infection and to identify possible strategies to fight the virus by rescuing cell death.&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/28153732?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Orzan, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Muzzi, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marchi, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Falzone, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Battelino, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ciciriello, E</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Achieving early functional auditory access in paediatric cochlear implantation.</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%">45-50</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Cochlear implantation (CI) is a viable option for providing access to auditory stimulation in severe-to-profound hearing loss/impairment of cochlear origin.

It now becomes essential to provide an effective amplification as quickly as possible in order to restore auditory function and favour speech and language development. The early fitting of hearing aids and possible later cochlear implantation indeed prompts the development of central auditory pathways, connections with secondary sensory brain areas, as well as with motor and articulatory cortex. The aim of this paper is to report the results of a strategic analysis that involves identification of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats regarding the process of achieving early amplification in all cases of significant childhood PHI.

In recent decades, significant improvements in the treatment of these types of disease have been achieved using disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), such as methotrexate (MTX) and, more recently, using biologic inhibitors. The recent introduction of kinase inhibitors (for example, tofacitinib; Tofa) further increases the available ARDs. However, there are patients that do not respond to any treatment strategies, for whom combination therapies are proposed. The data regarding the combined action of different drugs is lacking and the knowledge of the mechanisms of ARDs and their actions upon pathogenic lymphocytes, which are hypothesized to sustain disease, is poor. An in vitro model of inflammation was developed in the current study, in which stimulated and unstimulated lymphocytes were cultured together, but tracked separately, to investigate the action of MTX and Tofa on the two populations. By analysing lymphocyte proliferation and activation, and cytokine secretion in the culture supernatants, it was established that, due to the presence of activated cells, unstimulated cells underwent a bystander activation that was modulated by the ARDs. Additionally, varying administration schedules were demonstrated to affect lymphocytes differently in vitro, either directly or via bystander activation. Furthermore, MTX and Tofa exerted different effects; while MTX showed an antiproliferative effect, Tofa marginally effected activation, although only a slight antiproliferative action, which could be potentiated by sequential treatment with MTX. Thus, it was hypothesized that these differences may be exploited in sequential therapeutic strategies, to maximize the anti‑rheumatic effect. These findings are notable and must be accounted for, as bystander‑activated cells in vivo could contribute to the spread of autoimmune activation and disease progression.&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/27175898?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bibalo, Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Apicella, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guastalla, Veronica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marzuillo, Pierluigi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zennaro, Floriana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tringali, Carmela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taddio, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Germani, Claudio</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%">Acute lobar nephritis in children: Not so easy to recognize and manage.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">World J Clin Pediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">World J Clin 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 Feb 8</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">136-42</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Acute lobar nephritis (ALN) is a localized non-liquefactive inflammatory renal bacterial infection, which typically involves one or more lobes. ALN is considered to be a midpoint in the spectrum of upper urinary tract infection, a spectrum ranging from uncomplicated pyelonephritis to intrarenal abscess. This condition may be difficult to recognize due to the lack of specific symptoms and laboratory findings. Therefore the disease is probably underdiagnosed. Computed tomography scanning represents the diagnostic gold standard for ALN, but magnetic resonance imagine could be considered in order to limit irradiation. The diagnosis is relevant since initial intravenous antibiotic therapy and overall length of treatment should not be shorter than 3 wk. We review the literature and analyze the ALN clinical presentation starting from four cases with the aim to give to the clinicians the elements to suspect and recognize the ALN in children.&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/26862513?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cucca, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stragapede, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antonutti, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Catalan, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caracciolo, I</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valentinotti, Romina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Granato, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Agaro, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Manganotti, P</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acute myelitis as presenting symptom of HIV-HTLV-1 co-infection.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Neurovirol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

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%">Casagrande, Arianna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pederiva, Federica</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Association between Congenital Lung Malformations and Lung Tumors in Children and Adults.

Prophylactic surgery is recommended to avoid the risk for development of pulmonary infections and to prevent the highly debated development of malignancy. However, the true risk for development of malignancy remains unknown. A systematic review analyzed all cases in which lung tumors associated with CPMs in both the pediatric and adult populations were described.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A comprehensive literature search was carried out; it included all the cases in which an association between CPMs and malignant pulmonary lesions was reported.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;In all, 134 publications were eligible for inclusion. In 168 patients CPM was found associated with lung tumor. The diagnosis was made in 76 children at a mean age of 3.68 ± 3.4, whereas in the adult population (n = 92) it was made at a mean age of 44.62 ± 16.09. Cough was the most frequent presenting symptom both in children and in adults. Most of the patients underwent lobectomy. The tumor most often associated with CPM was pleuropulmonary bastoma in children (n = 31) and adenocarcinoma (n = 20) or bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (n = 20) in adults. The CPM most frequenty associated with tumors in children was congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (n = 37), especially type 1 (n = 21), whereas in adults it was bronchogenic cyst (n = 25), followed by congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation (n = 21).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;CPMs should be followed up and never underestimated because they may conceal a tumor. Apparently, there is no age limit for malignant progression of CPMs and no limit of the interval between first detection of the CPM and appearance of the associated tumor.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27423390?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lima, Géssica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Santos, Erinaldo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Angelo, Hildson</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oliveira, Micheline</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heráclio, Sandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leite, Fernanda</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Melo, Celso</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maia, Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Souza, Paulo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Association between p21 Ser31Arg polymorphism and the development of cervical lesion in women infected with high risk HPV.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tumour Biol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tumour Biol.</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 Aug</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">37</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10935-41</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Infection by high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in genes involved in cell cycle control, as p21 and p27, are important factors in the development of different types of human cancers. This study aims at investigating whether both the p21 Ser31Arg and p27 V109G polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to the development of cervical lesions in women HR-HPV positive. We analyzed 132 women HPV positive and with cervical lesions or CC and 154 healthy control (HPV negative and without cervical lesions). p21 Ser31Arg and p27 V109G polymorphisms were analyzed using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method and sequencing. The p21 31Arg allele was associated with susceptibility for the development of cervical lesions (P* = 0.0009), while p27 V109G polymorphism showed no significant differences for this association (P* = 0.89). However, the combined effect of the polymorphisms showed that the presence of the CC genotype (SNP p21 Ser31Arg) conferred protection for the development of cervical lesions (OR = 0.39). p21 Ser31Arg and p27 V109G polymorphisms were not associated with the grade of cervical lesions (CINI, CINII, and CINIII) or CC (P* &gt; 0.05). The HR-HPV more frequent in this study were of 16 (57.6 %) and 18 (37.1 %) types; however, no association was observed when both polymorphisms and risk factors analyzed were compared (P* &gt; 0.05). Our findings suggest a possible association between p21 Ser31tabArg polymorphism and susceptibility to the development of cervical lesions in women from Pernambuco.

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%">Zanotta, Nunzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tornesello, Maria Lina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Annunziata, Clorinda</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stellato, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Buonaguro, Franco Maria</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%">Candidate Soluble Immune Mediators in Young Women with High-Risk Human Papillomavirus Infection: High Expression of Chemokines Promoting Angiogenesis and Cell Proliferation.</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%">Cell Survival</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cervix Uteri</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chemokines</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%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neovascularization, Pathologic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Papillomaviridae</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Papillomavirus Infections</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%">11</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e0151851</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 causal interpretation of cervical immune response to Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is complex and poorly characterized mainly due to the delicate balance that exists between viral infection, increase of inflammatory cytokines and host risk factors. This study aims to explore the significance of cervical immune mediators associated to cell survival, angiogenesis and interaction with immune response, in predicting the risk to develop HPV-related intraepithelial lesions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A panel of 48 cytokines and growth factors were explored in a selected cohort of 168 immunocompetent women including 88 diagnosed with low (LSIL) or high (HSIL) squamous intraepithelial lesions of the cervix and 80 with normal cervical cytology (NIL). HPV genotyping was performed by Linear Array HPV test and the soluble concentration of 48 immune molecules was analyzed using the Bio-Plex platform.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The prevalence of single HR-HPV infection was 30% in NIL and 100% in LSIL and HSIL women. The expression of 13 cytokines, including interleukins IL-6, IL-3, IL-12p40, IL-12p70, IL-16, IL-18, LIF, of chemokines CCL7 (MCP-3), CXCL9 (MIG), CXCL12 (SDF-1α) and of the tropic factors VEGF, G-CSF, M-CSF were significantly associated with the presence of infection, with levels being higher in women with precancerous lesions compared to NIL HPV negative women. Only the growth factor GM-CSF was positively associated with the cytological abnormalities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The ability of HR-HPV to escape from innate immune recognition and to orchestrate the production of specific inflammatory and growth factors, involved in early inflammatory response and in the cell-proliferating phase of intraepithelial damage, was documented in women before the development of cervical lesions.&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/26990868?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Abate, Maria Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stocco, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Devescovi, Raffaella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carrozzi, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pierobon, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valencic, Erica</style></author><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%">d'Adamo, Pio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</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%">Carbamazepine-induced thrombocytopenic purpura in a child: Insights from a genomic analysis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blood Cells Mol Dis</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blood Cells Mol.

Our study examined the association of CCR2-64I (rs1799864) andCCR5-Δ32 (rs333) polymorphisms with susceptibility to develop cervical lesion (CIN and CC) in a Brazilian population. The genotyping of 139 women with cervical lesions and 151 women without cervical lesions for the CCR2-64I and CCR5-Δ32 polymorphisms were performed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The individuals carrying heterozygous or homozygous genotypes (GA+AA) for CCR2-64I polymorphisms seem to be at lower risk for cervical lesion [odds ratio (OR) = 0.37, p = 0.0008)]. The same was observed for the A allele (OR = 0.39, p = 0.0002), while no association was detected (p &gt; 0.05) with CCR5-Δ32 polymorphism. Regarding the human papillomavirus (HPV) type, patients carrying the CCR2-64Ipolymorphism were protected against infection by HPV type 16 (OR = 0.35, p = 0.0184). In summary, our study showed a protective effect ofCCR2-64I rs1799864 polymorphism against the development of cervical lesions (CIN and CC) and in the susceptibility of HPV 16 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/26982176?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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, Luisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polesello, Vania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberi, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moratelli, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crocè, Saveria Lory</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Masutti, Flora</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pozzato, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, Ludovica</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CD209 promoter polymorphisms associate with HCV infection and pegylated-interferon plus ribavirin treatment response.</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.

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between immune mediators involved in inflammation, cell survival and angiogenesis, and asbestos-related diseases in workers from a coastal area of North-East Italy with a high incidence of pleural malignant mesothelioma (PMM).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MATERIALS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A selected custom set of 12 soluble mediators was evaluated with a Luminex platform in sera, pleural fluid and mesothelioma biopsies from 123 asbestos-exposed workers (38 free from pleural-pulmonary disorders, 46 with non-malignant asbestos diseases, 39 with PMM) and in sera from 33 healthy controls from the same territorial area.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Increased immune mediator concentrations were observed in the sera of the asbestos-exposed workers compared to controls for human fibroblast growth factor (FGF-b), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), CCL5 (RANTES), CXCL10 (IP-10), CLEC11A (SCGF-b), CCL27 (CTACK), CCL11 (EOTAXIN), IL-5 and IL-6 (p&lt;0.001). The chemokines IP-10 and RANTES were associated with the severity of asbestos-related diseases. In the workers with PMM, the immune proteins secreted by mesothelioma biopsies showed detectable levels of RANTES, VEGF, and IP-10. In the same workers with PMM, a significant relationship between serum and pleural fluid concentrations was found for RANTES alone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Occupational exposure to asbestos seems to drive the production of specific growth factors dually involved in the early inflammatory response and in pro-tumoral activity before clinical evidence of related disorders, suggesting that their over-expression may precede the onset of asbestos-related diseases. These findings suggest that some chemokines may have a prognostic role in the progression of asbestos-related diseases and could be used for the health surveillance of either workers with an occupational history of asbestos exposure or patients affected by non-malignant asbestos-related diseases.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26973208?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celerino da Silva, Ronaldo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Victor Campos Coelho, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cláudio Arraes, Luiz</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">André Cavalcanti Brandão, Lucas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lima Guimarães, Rafael</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%">Chemokines SNPs in HIV-1+ Patients and Healthy Controls from Northeast Brazil: Association with Protection against HIV-1 Infection.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr HIV Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr.

Variations in the genes encoding HIV-1 coreceptors and their natural ligands have been shown to modify HIV-1 infection susceptibility and disease progression.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS AND RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;We analysed the distribution of SNPs in chemokines (CCL3, CCL4, CCL5, CXCL12) and chemokine receptor (CXCR6) genes, in 268 HIV-1 infected patients (HIV-1+) and 221 healthy controls from Northeast Brazil, and their possible connection with susceptibility to HIV-1 infection. The genotyping were performed through allele specific fluorogenic probes using real time PCR. We observed that the T alleles and AT genotype of rs1719153 CCL4 SNP were more frequent in healthy controls (19.8% and 35.0%, respectively) than in HIV-1+ patients (T allele: 14.1%; OR=0.67; 95%CI=0.47-0.95; p-value=0.020; and AT genotype: 24.4%; OR=0.61; 95%CI=0.40- 0.93; p-value=0.021) after correcting for age and sex. The rs1719134 (CCL3) and rs1719153 (CCL4) SNPs presented linkage disequilibrium (D'=0.83). The AT haplotype frequency was increased in healthy controls (17.3%) in relation to HIV-1+ patients (11.0%; OR=0.62; 95%CI=0.42-0.93; p-value=0.020).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Since our results revealed an increased frequency of alleles and genotypes of CCL3/CCL4 SNPs and haplotype (CCL3-CCL4) among healthy controls, we suggest that these variations might have a potential protective role against HIV-1 infection.&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/26785888?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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.

Laboratory data, diagnostic imaging, histological features and clinical course are reported.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;We enrolled 47 patients diagnosed with CNO. Bone pain was the leading symptom, and multifocal disease was present in 87% of the patients. The majority of the bone lesions were located in the appendicular skeleton (58%). Extraosseous manifestations were present in 34% of the patients, and renal involvement was detected in four patients. Inflammatory indices were increased in 80%, and bone x-rays were negative in 15% of the patients. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were the first therapy for all patients, achieving clinical remission in 27%. A good response to NSAIDs was significantly associated with a better prognosis. Bisphosphonates were used in 26 patients, with remission in 73%. Only six patients (13%), all with spine involvement, developed sequelae.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;We found a possible association between CNO and renal disease. Bisphosphonates were more likely to lead to clinical remission when NSAIDs and corticosteroids had failed. Vertebral localisation was the only risk factor for potential sequelae.&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/27059298?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Färkkilä, Anniina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zauli, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Haltia, Ulla-Maija</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pihlajoki, Marjut</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Unkila-Kallio, Leila</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Secchiero, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heikinheimo, Markku</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Circulating levels of TNF-related apoptosis inducing-ligand are decreased in patients with large adult-type granulosa cell tumors-implications for therapeutic potential.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tumour Biol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tumour Biol.</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 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;Targeted treatments are needed for advanced adult-type granulosa cell tumors (AGCTs). We set out to assess tumor tissue and circulating levels of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), a promising anti-cancer cytokine, in patients affected by AGCT. We analyzed tissue expression of TRAIL in 127 AGCTs using immunohistochemistry or RT-PCR. Soluble TRAIL was measured by means of ELISA from 141 AGCT patient serum samples, as well as the conditioned media of 15 AGCT patient-derived primary cell cultures, and the KGN cell line. Tissue and serum TRAIL levels were analyzed in relationship with clinical parameters, and serum estradiol, FSH, and LH levels. We found that AGCT samples expressed TRAIL mRNA and protein at levels comparable to normal granulosa cells. AGCT cells did not release soluble TRAIL. TRAIL protein levels were decreased in tumors over 10 cm in diameter (p = 0.04). Consistently, circulating TRAIL levels correlated negatively to tumor dimension (p = 0.01). Circulating TRAIL levels negatively associated with serum estradiol levels. In multiple regression analysis, tumor size was an independent factor contributing to the decreased levels of soluble TRAIL in AGCT patients. AGCTs associate with significantly decreased tumor tissue and serum TRAIL levels in patients with a large tumor mass. These findings encourage further study of agonistic TRAIL treatments in patients with advanced or recurrent AGCT.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27067438?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Melazzini, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Palombo, Flavia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Balduini, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Rocco, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marconi, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Noris, Patrizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gnan, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pippucci, Tommaso</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bozzi, Valeria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faleschini, Michela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barozzi, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Doubek, Michael</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Buduo, Christian A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stano Kozubik, Katerina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radova, Lenka</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Loffredo, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pospisilova, Sarka</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alfano, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seri, Marco</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%">Savoia, Anna</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clinical and pathogenetic features of ETV6 related thrombocytopenia with predisposition to acute lymphoblastic leukemia.</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%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016 Jun 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;ETV6-related thrombocytopenia (ETV6-RT) is an autosomal dominant thrombocytopenia that has been recently identified in a few families and has been suspected to predispose to hematological malignancies. 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.

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

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. Thanks to the contribution of experts in the field and members of the Italian Society of Pediatric Allergology and Immunology (SIAIP) and the Italian Society of Pediatric Dermatology (SIDerP), this Consensus statement integrates the basic principles of the most recent guidelines for the management of atopic dermatitis to facilitate a practical approach to the disease. 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%">Zanella, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Leo, Luigina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nguyen-Ngoc-Quynh, Le</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nguyen-Duy, Bo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Not, Tarcisio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tran-Thi-Chi, Mai</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phung-Duc, Son</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Le-Thanh, Hai</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Malaventura, Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vatta, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ziberna, Fabiana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mazzocco, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Volpato, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phung-Tuyet, Lan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Le-Thi-Minh, Huong</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Borgna-Pignatti, Caterina</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cross-sectional study of coeliac autoimmunity in a population of Vietnamese children.</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%">e011173</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;The prevalence of coeliac disease (CD) in Vietnam is unknown. To fill this void, we assessed the prevalence of serological markers of CD autoimmunity in a population of children in Hanoi.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SETTING: &lt;/b&gt;The outpatient blood drawing laboratory of the largest paediatric hospital in North Vietnam was used for the study, which was part of an international project of collaboration between Italy and Vietnam.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PARTICIPANTS: &lt;/b&gt;Children having blood drawn for any reason were included. Exclusion criteria were age younger than 2 years, acquired or congenital immune deficiency and inadequate sample. A total of 1961 children (96%) were enrolled (838 females, 1123 males, median age 5.3 years).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OUTCOMES: &lt;/b&gt;Primary outcome was the prevalence of positive autoimmunity to both IgA antitransglutaminase antibodies (anti-tTG) assessed with an ELISA test and antiendomysial antibodies (EMA). Secondary outcome was the prevalence of CD predisposing human leucocyte antigens (HLA) (HLA DQ2/8) in the positive children and in a random group of samples negative for IgA anti-tTG.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The IgA anti-tTG test was positive in 21/1961 (1%; 95% CI 0.61% to 1.53%); however, EMA antibodies were negative in all. HLA DQ2/8 was present in 7/21 (33%; 95% CI 14.5% to 56.9%) of the anti-tTG-positive children and in 72/275 (26%; 95% CI 21% to 32%) of those who were negative.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Coeliac autoimmunity is rare in Vietnam, although prevalence of HLA DQ2/8 is similar to that of other countries. We hypothesise that the scarce exposure to gluten could be responsible for these 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/27329441?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Krauss, Baruch S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calligaris, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Green, Steven M</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%">Current concepts in management of pain in children in the emergency department.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acute Pain</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Analgesics, Opioid</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anesthetics, Local</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anxiety</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Emergency Medicine</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Emergency Service, Hospital</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%">Pediatrics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stress, Psychological</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 Jan 2</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">387</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">83-92</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Pain is common in children presenting to emergency departments with episodic illnesses, acute injuries, and exacerbation of chronic disorders.

Tonsillitis refers to inflammation of the pharyngeal tonsils that may include the adenoids and the lingual tonsils and that can be acute, recurrent, and chronic. Viral or bacterial infections, as well as immunologic factors are the main trigger to tonsillitis and disease's chronicity: the host immune responses, especially the innate one, could play an important role in susceptibility to the disease.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVES: &lt;/b&gt;The current study aims at investigating the role of functional polymorphisms in the 5'UTR (c.-52G&gt;A, c.-44G&gt;C and c.-20G&gt;A) of DEFB1 gene, encoding for the antimicrobial peptide human beta-defensin 1, in the predisposition to recurrent tonsillitis in children from North Eastern Italy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;No significant correlation was found between DEFB1 allele, genotype and haplotype frequencies and recurrent tonsillitis susceptibility with the exception of an increased risk to disease development in patients carrying DEFB1 rare haplotypes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Our results may suggest that DEFB1 polymorphisms alone may not influence pathology susceptibility, however they could possibly concur, together with other factors involved in the genetic control of innate immune system, in the predisposition towards recurrent tonsillitis.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26968045?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Papa, N</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanotta, N</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Knowles, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Orzan, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comar, M</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Detection of Malawi polyomavirus sequences in secondary lymphoid tissues from Italian healthy children: a transient site of infection.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Virol J</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Virol.

Recently, MWPyV sequences were additionally identified in respiratory secretions from both healthy and acutely ill children suggesting that MWPyV may have a tropism for different human tissues. This study was designed to investigate the possible sites of latency/persistence for MWPyV in a cohort of healthy Italian children.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Specimens (n° 500) of tonsils, adenoids, blood, urines and feces, from 200 healthy and immunocompetent children (age range: 1-15 years) were tested for the amplification of the MWPyV LT antigen sequence by quantitative real-time PCR. Samples (n° 80) of blood and urines from 40 age-matched children with autoimmune diseases, were screened for comparison. Polyomaviruses JC/BK and Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) were also tested as markers of infection in all samples using the same molecular technique.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;In our series of healthy children, MWPyV was detected only in the lymphoid tissues showing a prevalence of 6 % in tonsils and 1 % in adenoids, although with a low viral load. No JCPyV or BKPyV co-infection was found in MWPyV positive samples, while EBV showed a similar percentage of both in tonsils and adenoids (38 and 37 %). Conversely, no MWPyV DNA was detected in stool from babies with gastroenteric syndrome. With regards to autoimmune children, neither MWPyV nor BKPyV were detected in blood, while JCPyV viremia was observed in 15 % (6/40) of children treated with Infliximab. Urinary BKPyV shedding was observed in 12.5 % (5/40) while JCPyV in 100 % of the samples.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The detection of MWPyV sequences in tonsils and adenoids of healthy children suggests that secondary lymphoid tissues can harbour MWPyV probably as transient sites of persistence rather than actual sites of latency.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27287743?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Devescovi, Raffaella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mancini, Alice</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bin, Maura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vellante, Valerio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carrozzi, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Colombi, Costanza</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Early diagnosis and Early Start Denver Model intervention in autism spectrum disorders delivered in an Italian Public Health System service.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat</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%">12</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1379-84</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;Early diagnosis combined with an early intervention program, such as the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), can positively influence the early natural history of autism spectrum disorders. This study evaluated the effectiveness of an early ESDM-inspired intervention, in a small group of toddlers, delivered at low intensity by the Italian Public Health System.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Twenty-one toddlers at risk for autism spectrum disorders, aged 20-36 months, received 3 hours/wk of one-to-one ESDM-inspired intervention by trained therapists, combined with parents' and teachers' active engagement in ecological implementation of treatment. The mean duration of treatment was 15 months. Cognitive and communication skills, as well as severity of autism symptoms, were assessed by using standardized measures at pre-intervention (Time 0 [T0]; mean age =27 months) and post-intervention (Time 1 [T1]; mean age =42 months).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Children made statistically significant improvements in the language and cognitive domains, as demonstrated by a series of nonparametric Wilcoxon tests for paired data. Regarding severity of autism symptoms, younger age at diagnosis was positively associated with greater improvement at post-assessment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Our results are consistent with the literature that underlines the importance of early diagnosis and early intervention, since prompt diagnosis can reduce the severity of autism symptoms and improve cognitive and language skills in younger children. Particularly in toddlers, it seems that an intervention model based on the ESDM principles, involving the active engagement of parents and nursery school teachers, may be effective even when the individual treatment is delivered at low intensity. Furthermore, our study supports the adaptation and the positive impact of the ESDM entirely sustained by the Italian Public Health System.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27366069?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">DʼArcangelo, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bramuzzo, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparetto, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martinelli, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alvisi, Patrizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Illiceto, Maria Teresa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valenti, Simona</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Distante, Manuela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pellegrino, Salvatore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gatti, Simona</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arrigo, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Civitelli, Fortunata</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelossi, Stefano</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%">Effect of Early Versus Late Azathioprine Therapy in Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis.</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.

Corticosteroid (CS)-free remission and mucosal healing (MH), assessed by endoscopy or fecal calprotectin, at 12 months were the primary outcomes. Patients were also compared for CS-free remission and MH, need for treatment escalation or surgery, number of hospitalizations, and adverse events during a 24-month follow-up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;A total of 121 children entered the study (median age 10.5 ± 4.0 years, 59% girls). Seventy-six (63%) started AZA between 0 and 6 months (early group) and 45 (37%) started between 6 and 24 months (late group). Seventy-five percent and 53% of patients in the early and late group, respectively, received CS at the diagnosis (P = 0.01). CS-free remission at 1 year was achieved by 30 (50%) of the early and 23 (57%) of the late patients (P = 0.54). MH occurred in 37 (37%) patients at 1 year, with no difference between the 2 groups (33% early, 42% late; P = 0.56). No difference was found for the other outcomes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Introduction of AZA within 6 months of diagnosis seems not more effective than later treatment to achieve CS-free remission in pediatric ulcerative colitis. MH does not depend on the timing of AZA initiation; however, because of the incomplete comparability of the 2 groups at the diagnosis and the use of fecal calprotectin as a surrogate marker of MH, our results should be further confirmed by prospective studies.&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/27271489?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Bettinelli, Maria Enrica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chapin, Elise</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Macaluso, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Córdova do Espírito Santo, Lílian</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Murante, Anna Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montico, Marcella</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BFCI Study Group</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Effectiveness of the Baby Friendly Community Initiative in Italy: a non-randomised controlled study.</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%">e010232</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 effectiveness of the Baby Friendly Community Initiative (BFCI) on exclusive breast feeding at 6 months.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;Controlled, non-randomised trial.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SETTING: &lt;/b&gt;18 Local Health Authorities in 9 regions of Italy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PARTICIPANTS: &lt;/b&gt;5094 mother/infant dyads in 3 cohorts were followed up to 12 months after birth in 3 rounds of data collection: at baseline, after implementation of the intervention in the early intervention group and after implementation in the late intervention group. 689 (14%) dyads did not complete the study.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERVENTION: &lt;/b&gt;Implementation of the 7 steps of the BFCI.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: &lt;/b&gt;The rate of exclusive breast feeding at 6 months was the primary outcome; breast feeding at discharge, 3 and 12 months was also measured.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The crude rates of exclusive breast feeding at discharge, 3 and 6 months, and of any breast feeding at 6 and 12 months increased at each round of data collection after baseline in the early and late intervention groups. At the end of the project, 10% of infants were exclusively breast fed at 6 months and 38% were continuing to breast feed at 12 months. However, the comparison by adjusted rates and logistic regression failed to show statistically significant differences between groups and rounds of data collection in the intention-to-treat analysis, as well as when compliance with the intervention and training coverage was taken into account.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The study failed to demonstrate an effect of the BFCI on the rates of breast feeding. This may be due, among other factors, to the time needed to observe an effect on breast feeding following this complex intervention.&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/27154476?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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). The results of this study will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at international conferences.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: &lt;/b&gt;NCT02431663; Pre-results.&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/27311915?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ciciriello, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bolzonello, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marchi, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Falzone, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Muzzi, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Orzan, E</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Empowering the family during the first months after identification of permanent hearing impairment in children.</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%">64-70</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 latest international guidelines highlight the importance of involving the family in the diagnostic and rehabilitation process of children affected by permanent hearing impairment. This emphasises how meaningful this approach is for the development of the deaf child. So far, there is very little evidence about this approach in Italy, and there are still some barriers to its practical management. The aim of this paper is to report the results of a strategic analysis, which identifies the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the family empowerment process during early auditory diagnosis and rehabilitation. The audiology programme should have the goal to offer information and support to families in order to achieve a conscious decision about the use and type of auditory prosthesis and rehabilitation choice within three months after audiologic diagnosis. Within the framework of the Ministry of Health project CCM 2013 &quot;Preventing Communication Disorders: a Regional Program for Early Identification, Intervention and Care of Hearing Impaired Children&quot;, a group of professionals identified three main recommendations that can be useful to foster the natural communicative development of the child by strengthening the therapeutic alliance and empowerment of the family. The recommendations obtained with this analysis can help to develop new Italian guidelines with the aim to foster natural communicative development of the child by strengthening the therapeutic alliance and empowerment of the family.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

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%">Neto, José Ribamar Costa Ferreira</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">da Silva, Manassés Daniel</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pandolfi, Valesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benko-Iseppon, Ana Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kido, Éderson Akio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epigenetic Signals on Plant Adaptation: A Biotic Stress Perspective.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr Protein Pept Sci</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr.

Thus, they have to face hazards with instantaneous reorganization of their internal environment. For this purpose, besides the use of transcription factors, the participation of chromatin as an active factor in the regulation of transcription is crucial. Chemical changes in chromatin structure affect the accessibility of the transcriptional machinery and acting in signaling, engaging/inhibiting factors that participate in the transcription processes. Mechanisms in which gene expression undergoes changes without the occurrence of DNA gene mutations in the monomers that make up DNA, are understood as epigenetic phenomena. These include (1) post-translational modifications of histones, which results in stimulation or repression of gene activity and (2) cytosine methylation in the promoter region of individual genes, both preventing access of transcriptional activators as well as signaling the recruitment of repressors. There is evidence that such modifications can pass on to subsequent generations of daughter cells and even generations of individuals. However, reports indicate that they persist only in the presence of a stressor factor (or an inductor of the above-mentioned modifications). In its absence, these modifications weaken or lose heritability, being eliminated in the next few generations. In this review, it is argued how epigenetic signals influence gene regulation, the mechanisms involved and their participation in processes of resistance to biotic stresses, controlling processes of the plant immune system.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27455972?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Hinney, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kesselmeier, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jall, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Volckmar, A-L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Föcker, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antel, J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heid, I M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Winkler, T W</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grant, S F A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guo, Y</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bergen, A W</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kaye, W</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berrettini, W</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hakonarson, H</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Herpertz-Dahlmann, B</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Zwaan, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Herzog, W</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ehrlich, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zipfel, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Egberts, K M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adan, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brandys, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">van Elburg, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boraska Perica, V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Franklin, C S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tschöp, M H</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zeggini, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bulik, C M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Collier, D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scherag, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Müller, T D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hebebrand, J</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GCAN</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">WTCCC3</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GIANT</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">EGG</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Price Foundation Collaborative Group</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia/Price Foundation</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Evidence for three genetic loci involved in both anorexia nervosa risk and variation of body mass index.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Psychiatry</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol.

Prior to the onset of AN, premorbid body mass index (BMI) spans the entire range from underweight to obese. After recovery, patients have reduced rates of overweight and obesity. As such, loci involved in body weight regulation may also be relevant for AN and vice versa. Our primary analysis comprised a cross-trait analysis of the 1000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with the lowest P-values in a genome-wide association meta-analysis (GWAMA) of AN (GCAN) for evidence of association in the largest published GWAMA for BMI (GIANT). Subsequently we performed sex-stratified analyses for these 1000 SNPs. Functional ex vivo studies on four genes ensued. Lastly, a look-up of GWAMA-derived BMI-related loci was performed in the AN GWAMA. We detected significant associations (P-values &lt;5 × 10(-5), Bonferroni-corrected P&lt;0.05) for nine SNP alleles at three independent loci. Interestingly, all AN susceptibility alleles were consistently associated with increased BMI. None of the genes (chr. 10: CTBP2, chr. 19: CCNE1, chr. 2: CARF and NBEAL1; the latter is a region with high linkage disequilibrium) nearest to these SNPs has previously been associated with AN or obesity. Sex-stratified analyses revealed that the strongest BMI signal originated predominantly from females (chr. 10 rs1561589; Poverall: 2.47 × 10(-06)/Pfemales: 3.45 × 10(-07)/Pmales: 0.043). Functional ex vivo studies in mice revealed reduced hypothalamic expression of Ctbp2 and Nbeal1 after fasting. Hypothalamic expression of Ctbp2 was increased in diet-induced obese (DIO) mice as compared with age-matched lean controls. We observed no evidence for associations for the look-up of BMI-related loci in the AN GWAMA. A cross-trait analysis of AN and BMI loci revealed variants at three chromosomal loci with potential joint impact. The chromosome 10 locus is particularly promising given that the association with obesity was primarily driven by females. In addition, the detected altered hypothalamic expression patterns of Ctbp2 and Nbeal1 as a result of fasting and DIO implicate these genes in weight regulation.Molecular Psychiatry advance online publication, 17 May 2016; doi:10.1038/mp.2016.71.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27184124?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26879689?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Silva-Carvalho, Wlisses Henrique Veloso</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Moura, Ronald Rodrigues</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coelho, Antônio Victor Campos</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guimarães, Rafael Lima</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Frequency of the CCR5-delta32 allele in Brazilian populations: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infect Genet Evol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infect.

Some populations have individuals exhibiting a 32bp deletion in the CCR5 gene (CCR5-delta32) that produces a truncated non-functional protein not expressed on the cell surface. This polymorphism, known to be associated with susceptibility to infectious and inflammatory diseases, such as osteomyelitis, pre-eclampsia, systemic lupus erythematous, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and HIV/AIDS, is more commonly found in European populations with average frequency of 10%. However, it is also possible to observe a significant frequency in other world populations, such as the Brazilian one. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of CCR5-delta32 genetic association studies in Brazilian populations throughout the country to estimate the frequency of this polymorphism. We also compared CCR5-delta32 frequencies across Brazilian regions. The systematic literature reviewed studies involving delta32 allele in Brazilian populations published from 1995 to 2015. Among the reviewed literature, 25 studies including 30 Brazilian populations distributed between the North, Northeast, South and Southeast regions were included in our meta-analysis. We observed an overall allelic frequency of 4% (95%-CI, 0.03-0.05), that was considered moderate and, notably, higher than some European populations, such as Cyprus (2.8%), Italy (3%) and Greece (2.4%). Regarding the regional frequency comparisons between North-Northeast (N-NE) and South-Southeast (S-SE) regions, we observed an allelic frequency of 3% (95%-CI, 0.02-0.04) and 4% (95%-CI, 0.03-0.05), respectively. The populations from S-SE regions had a slightly higher CCR5-delta32 frequency than N-NE regions (OR=1.41, p=0.002). Although there are several studies about the CCR5-delta32 polymorphism and its effect on the immune response of some infectious diseases, this report is the first meta-analysis study that provides a descriptive study of the distribution of CCR5-delta32 allele in Brazilian population.&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%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piscianz, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zweyer, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bortul, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Loganes, Claudia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girardelli, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baj, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celeghini, Claudio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Geranylgeraniol and Neurological Impairment: Involvement of Apoptosis and Mitochondrial Morphology.</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%">365</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Deregulation of the cholesterol pathway is an anomaly observed in human diseases, many of which have in common neurological involvement and unknown pathogenesis. In this study we have used Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency (MKD) as a disease-model in order to investigate the link between the deregulation of the mevalonate pathway and the consequent neurodegeneration. The blocking of the mevalonate pathway in a neuronal cell line (Daoy), using statins or mevalonate, induced an increase in the expression of the inflammasome gene (NLRP3) and programmed cell death related to mitochondrial dysfunction. The morphology of the mitochondria changed, clearly showing the damage induced by oxidative stress and the decreased membrane potential associated with the alterations of the mitochondrial function. The co-administration of geranylgeraniol (GGOH) reduced the inflammatory marker and the damage of the mitochondria, maintaining its shape and components. Our data allow us to speculate about the mechanism by which isoprenoids are able to rescue the inflammatory marker in neuronal cells, independently from the block of the mevalonate pathway, and about the fact that cell death is mitochondria-related.&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/26978350?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mandalà, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Muzzi, Enrico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trabalzini, Franco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giant Cerebellar Lesion in a Patient With Purulent Ear Drainage.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JAMA Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JAMA Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg</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 1</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">142</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">603-4</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><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/27100394?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Maximova, Natalia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gregori, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zennaro, Floriana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sonzogni, Aurelio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Simeone, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanon, Davide</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hepatic Gadolinium Deposition and Reversibility after Contrast Agent-enhanced MR Imaging of Pediatric Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radiology</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radiology</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 8</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">152846</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ENG</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Purpose To determine if hepatic gadolinium deposition occurs in pediatric patients with iron overload but normal renal and hepatic function who undergo gadolinium-based contrast agent (GBCA)-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Materials and Methods Design and execution of this study was approved by the Ethical Committee of Institute for Research in Maternal and Child Health Burlo Garofolo of Trieste (reference no. 1105/2015). Because of the retrospective nature of the study, the requirement to obtain informed consent was waived. Twenty-one recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplants who underwent GBCA-enhanced MR imaging for suspected infection or relapse followed by liver biopsy comprised the study group. The number of GBCA-enhanced MR examinations and cumulative gadolinium dose for each patient was analyzed by comparing liver histologic analysis and iron and gadolinium liver concentration (GLC). Eight patients had siderosis and underwent chelation therapy. The study group was compared with four control patients who were never exposed to GBCA. Statistical analysis was performed with Spearman rank coefficient for correlation. Results All 21 patients had positive correlations between GLC and total GBCA dose (r = 0.4486; P &lt; .05) and between GLC and liver iron concentration (r = 0.56; P &lt; .05). Patients who underwent deferoxamine therapy had a significant reduction of GLC (from 0.64 μg/g ± 0.29 to 0.20 μg/g ± 0.17 [standard deviation]; P &lt; .05). Conclusion In the presence of siderosis, a transmetallation mechanism may be set off between ferric ion and gadoterate meglumine. Deferoxamine appears capable of binding to gadolinium ion. Further studies of the safety of GBCAs in severe siderosis are needed. Chelation should be considered in patients with iron overload and a history of GBCA exposure.

The destitution of toxicity to mammalian cells of plant defensins has led to a new research ground, i.e., their potential medical use against human infectious diseases. Isolating defensins from natural sources, like plant tissues, can be time-consuming, labor intensive and usually present low yields. Strategies for large-scale production of purified active defensins have been employed using heterologous expression systems (HES) for defensin production, usually based in E. coli system. Like any other technology, HES present limitations and drawbacks demanding a careful experimental design prior the system selection. This review is proposed to discuss some of the major concerns when choosing to heterologously express plant defensins, with special attention on bacterial expression system.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27356942?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trevisan, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zabucchi, Giuliano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pascolo, Lorella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pascotto, Ernesto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Casarsa, Claudia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lucattelli, Monica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lungarella, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cavarra, Eleonora</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bartalesi, Barbara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zweyer, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Borelli, Violetta</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Histopathological data of iron and calcium in the mouse lung after asbestos exposure.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Data Brief</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Data Brief</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%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">769-75</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;This data article contains data related to the research article entitled, &quot;Synchrotron X-ray microscopy reveals early calcium and iron interaction with crocidolite fibers in the lung of exposed mice&quot; [1].

Epidemiological data on C. trachomatis infection status, C. trachomatis/HPV co-infection and the relationship between HPV genotypes in Italian women are only preliminary. The aim of the present study was to characterize the relationship between HPV genotypes and C. trachomatis in an extending cohort of asymptomatic immunocompetent women from an area of north-east Italy. A retrospective study was conducted using Luminex technology on cervical swabs from asymptomatic immunocompetent women, comprising 921 attending the prevention centre for the Cervical Cancer Program and 6214 who had been referred to the Sexually Transmitted Infections Center, with clinical indications of HPV and C. trachomatis infections. A quantitative real-time PCR was performed to assess chronic C. trachomatis infection by heat-shock protein 60 (Hsp60) gene expression. The overall prevalence of the investigated pathogens was 39 % (359/921) for HPV and 4 % (251/6214) for C. trachomatis. The Hsp60 gene was detected in 57 % of the women infected with C. trachomatis. HPV co-infection was present in 58 % of C. trachomatis-infected women. A high prevalence of co-infection was found in women with chronic C. trachomatis infection (68 %, P = 0.0002), especially in women ≤ 25 years (72 %) where HPV multiple infections were found in 78 % (P = 0.022). HPV genotype distribution showed that uncommon low-risk genotypes were associated with C. trachomatis. These results indicate a high frequency of co-detection of multiple HPV genotypes in chronically infected young women and suggest that the expression of the C. trachomatis Hsp60 gene may favour HPV infection.&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/26944507?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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.

Seventy-four patients (median age 4.33, interquartile range [IQR] 2.82-7.23; 63.5% male) were enrolled in a prospective multicenter study: in vitro steroid inhibition of patients' peripheral blood mononuclear cell proliferation was evaluated by [methyl-(3) H] thymidine incorporation assay at disease onset (T0) and after 4 weeks (T4) of treatment. Steroid dependence was associated with increased in vitro sensitivity at T4 assessed both as drug concentration inducing 50% of inhibition (IC50 ; odds ratio [OR] = 0.48, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.24-0.85; P = 0.0094) and maximum inhibition at the highest drug concentration (Imax ; OR = 1.13, 95% CI = 1.02-1.31; P = 0.017).

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%">Valent, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Candido, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faleschini, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tonutti, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tortul, Carla</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanatta, Manuela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanette, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanier, Loris</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The incidence rate and prevalence of pediatric type 1 diabetes mellitus (age 0-18) in the Italian region Friuli Venezia Giulia: population-based estimates through the analysis of health administrative databases.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Diabetol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Diabetol</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 Aug</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">53</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">629-35</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;AIMS: &lt;/b&gt;The main objective of this study was to estimate the incidence rate and prevalence of pediatric type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM; population 0-18 years of age) in the northeastern Italian region Friuli Venezia Giulia and to characterize the subjects affected by the disease.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;This was a retrospective population-based study conducted through the individual-level linkage of several health administrative databases of the Friuli Venezia Giulia region. The incidence rate and prevalence were calculated in the population 0-18 years of age. Using the Mid-p exact method, 95 % confidence intervals for rates were calculated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The incidence rate of pediatric T1DM in the years 2010-2013 was 15.8 new cases/100,000 person-years, peaking in the age class 10-14 years. The rate has increased substantially as compared with the previous regional estimate that dated back to 1993. We observed a seasonal pattern both in the date of birth of the incident cases and in the date of onset of the disease. In the region in 2013, there were 294 prevalent cases (15.1/10,000 inhabitants). Most of them had at least one glycated hemoglobin test in the year. More than 15 % had co-existing autoimmune comorbidities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The incidence rate of pediatric T1DM in Friuli Venezia Giulia has increased in the last years, and the disease is a relevant public health issue in the region.&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/26997510?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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.

The development of MPM is frequently linked to inhalation of asbestos fibers. A genetic component of susceptibility to this disease is suggested by the observation that some individuals develop MPM following lower doses of asbestos exposure, whereas others exposed to higher quantities do not seem to be affected. This hypothesis is supported also by frequent reports of MPM familial clustering. Despite the widely recognized role of iron (Fe) in cellular asbestos-induced pulmonary toxicity, the role of the related gene polymorphisms in the etiology of MPM has apparently not been evaluated. Eighty-six single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of 10 Fe-metabolism genes were examined by exploiting formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded postmortem samples from 77 patients who died due to MPM (designated AEM) and compared with 48 who were exposed to asbestos but from died in old age of cause other than asbestos (designated AENM). All subjects showed objective signs of asbestos exposure. Three SNPs, localized in the ferritin heavy polypeptide, transferrin, and hephaestin genes, whose frequencies were distributed differently in AEM and AENM populations, were identified. For ferritin and transferrin the C/C and the G/G genotypes, respectively, representing intronic polymorphisms, were significantly associated with protection against MPM and need to be considered as possible genetic markers of protection. Similarly, the C/C hephaestin SNP, a missense variation of this multicopper ferroxidase encoding gene, may be related, also functionally, with protection against MPM. In conclusion, it is proposed that three Fe metabolism-associated genes, significantly associated with protection against development of MPM, may serve as protective markers for this aggressive tumor.&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/26818092?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Naviglio, Samuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cont, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brovedani, Pierpaolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Davanzo, Riccardo</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%">Isolated hypoplasia of abdominal wall muscles associated with fetal ascites.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Congenit Anom (Kyoto)</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Congenit Anom (Kyoto)</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%">56</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">184-186</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ENG</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;We report the case of an infant born after parvovirus B19-induced fetal hydrops, who presented at birth with bilateral abdominal wall laxity, which was more evident on the flanks.

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%">Ziberna, Fabiana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Lorenzo, Giuditta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schiavon, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arnoldi, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quaglia, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Leo, Luigina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vatta, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelossi, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Burrone, Oscar R</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%">Lack of Evidence of Rotavirus-Dependent Molecular Mimicry as a Trigger of Celiac Disease.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin Exp Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin.

To assess the role of RV in the onset of CD, we measured the anti-pVP7 antibodies in the sera of children with CD and of control groups. We analysed serum samples of 118 biopsy proven CD patients and 46 patients with potential-CD; 32 children with other gastrointestinal diseases; 107 no-CD children and 107 blood donors. By ELISA assay, we measured IgA-IgG antibodies against the synthetic peptides pVP7, the human transglutaminase-derived peptide (476-487 aa) which shows an homology with VP7 protein and a control peptide. The triple-layered RV particles (TLPs), containing the VP7 protein, and the double-layered RV-particles (DLPs), lacking the VP7 protein were also used as antigens in ELISA assay. Antibody reactivity to the RV-TLPs was positive in 22/118 (18%) CD patients and in both paediatric (17/107, 16%) and adult (29/107, 27%) control groups, without showing a statistically significant difference among them (p=0.6, p=0.1). Biopsy-proven CD patients as well as the adult control group demonstrated a high positive antibody reactivity against both pVP7 (34/118, 29% CD patients; 66/107, 62% adult controls) and control synthetic peptides (35/118, 30% CD patients; 56/107, 52% adult controls) suggesting a non-specific response against RV pVP7. We show that children with CD do not have higher immune reactivity to RV, thus questioning the molecular mimicry mechanism as a triggering factor of CD. This article is protected by copyright.

The disease susceptibility depends upon environmental and host factors, specifically the innate immune response, the first line of host defence could play an important role. Among innate immunity members, lactoferrin, known for its antimicrobial properties, was previously correlated with the risk of oral pathology as periodontitis and dental caries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;89 Italian children presenting recurrent tonsillitis and 95 healthy children were genotyped for two LTF non-synonymous polymorphisms, called Thr29Ala and Arg47Lys, in order to investigate their potential role in recurrent tonsillitis susceptibility.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;no different allele, genotype and haplotype frequency distributions were detected comparing patients and controls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;data from the current study indicate that LTF polymorphisms might not be involved in recurrent tonsillitis development in our Italian population. However, since the importance of lactoferrin in oral immunity has been previously assessed, further studies should be necessary to unravel the potential role of LTF genetic variants in oral cavity.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27497404?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Knowles, Alessandra</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Letter to the editor: Outbreak of a new measles B3 variant in the Roma/Sinti population with transmission in the nosocomial setting, Italy, November 2015 to April 2016.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Euro Surveill</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Euro Surveill.</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 7</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">27</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27418558?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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.

Nevertheless, many factors are involved in viral transmission and host susceptibility to infection. The immune system and its components, including mannose binding protein C (encoding by MBL2 gene), are already known to play an important role in this scenario. In the present study, 313 children and 98 of their mothers from Zambia were genotyped for the MBL2 promoter HL (rs11003125) and XY (rs7096206) polymorphisms and exon 1 D (rs5030737, at codon 52) B (rs1800450, at codon 54) and C (rs1800451, at codon 57) polymorphisms in order to investigate the potential role of these genetic variants in HIV-1 mother-to-child transmission. No statistical significant association was observed comparing transmitter and non-transmitter mothers and also confronting HIV-positive and HIV-negative children. The findings of the current study obtained on mother and children from Zambia evidence lack of association between MBL2 functional polymorphisms and HIV-1 mother-to-child transmission.&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/26740328?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Polesello, V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberi, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moratelli, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crocè, S L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Masutti, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pozzato, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, L</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MBL2 Genetic Variants in HCV Infection Susceptibility, Spontaneous Viral Clearance and Pegylated Interferon Plus Ribavirin Treatment Response.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scand J Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scand.

The pathology became chronic in about 80% of the cases due to virus persistence in the host organism. The standard of care consists of pegylated interferon plus ribavirin; however, the treatment response is very variable and different host/viral factors may concur in the disease outcome. The mannose-binding protein C (MBL) is a component of the innate immune system, able to recognize HCV and consecutively activating the immune response. MBL is encoded by MBL2 gene, and polymorphisms, two in the promoter region (H/L and X/Y) and three in exon 1 (at codon 52, 54 and 57), have been described as functionally influencing protein expression. In this work, 203 Italian HCV patients and 61 healthy controls were enrolled and genotyped for the five MBL2 polymorphisms mentioned above to investigate their role in HCV infection susceptibility, spontaneous viral clearance and treatment response. MBL2 polymorphisms were not associated with HCV infection susceptibility and with spontaneous viral clearance, while MBL2 O allele, O/O genotype, HYO haplotype and DP combined genotype (all correlated with low or deficient MBL expression) were associated with sustained virological response. Moreover, a meta-analysis to assess the role of MBL2 polymorphisms in HCV infection susceptibility was also performed: YA haplotype could be associated with protection towards HCV infection.&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/27136459?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Contorno, Sarah</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caddeo, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calligaris, Lorenzo</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%">A minor trauma revealing linear morphoea in a 4-year-old female.</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.

Patients are compound heterozygotes for a loss-of-function allele, which in most cases is a large genomic deletion on chromosome 1q21.1 containing the RBM8A gene, and a noncoding variant located in the 5'UTR (rs139428292) or intronic (rs201779890) regions of RBM8A. As the molecular genetic testing in TAR requires multiple techniques for detection of copy-number variations (CNV) and nucleotide substitutions, we tested whether a next-generation sequencing (NGS) approach could identify both alterations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Two unrelated families were analyzed with Ion PGM sequencing using a target panel of genes responsible for different forms of inherited thrombocytopenia. A statistical quantitative evaluation of amplicon coverage was performed to detect CNV, in particular those on the RBM8A gene.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;All the probands were apparently homozygous for the rare allele inherited by the father at the rs139428292 locus, suggesting the presence of a deletion on the maternal chromosome. The statistical analysis confirmed the hemizygous condition of RBM8A.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;We concluded that NGS approaches could be used as a cost-effective method for molecular investigation of TAR as they could simultaneously detect CNV and point mutations.&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/27320760?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Seward, Nadine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lufesi, Norman</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Banda, Rosina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sinyeka, Sophie</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Masache, Gibson</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nambiar, Bejoy</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Makwenda, Charles</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Costello, Anthony</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">McCollum, Eric D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Colbourn, Tim</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mortality and its risk factors in Malawian children admitted to hospital with clinical pneumonia, 2001-12: a retrospective observational study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet Glob Health</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet Glob Health</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 Jan</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e57-68</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;Few studies have reported long-term data on mortality rates for children admitted to hospital with pneumonia in Africa. We examined trends in case fatality rates for all-cause clinical pneumonia and its risk factors in Malawian children between 2001 and 2012.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Individual patient data for children (&lt;5 years) with clinical pneumonia who were admitted to hospitals participating in Malawi's Child Lung Health Programme between 2001 and 2012 were recorded prospectively on a standardised medical form. We analysed trends in pneumonia mortality and children's clinical characteristics, and we estimated the association of risk factors with case fatality for children younger than 2 months, 2-11 months of age, and 12-59 months of age using separate multivariable mixed effects logistic regression models.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;Between November, 2012, and May, 2013, we retrospectively collected all available hard copies of yellow forms from 40 of 41 participating hospitals. We examined 113 154 pneumonia cases, 104 932 (92·7%) of whom had mortality data and 6903 of whom died, and calculated an overall case fatality rate of 6·6% (95% CI 6·4-6·7). The case fatality rate significantly decreased between 2001 (15·2% [13·4-17·1]) and 2012 (4·5% [4·1-4·9]; ptrend&lt;0·0001). Univariable analyses indicated that the decrease in case fatality rate was consistent across most subgroups. In multivariable analyses, the risk factors significantly associated with increased odds of mortality were female sex, young age, very severe pneumonia, clinically suspected Pneumocystis jirovecii infection, moderate or severe underweight, severe acute malnutrition, disease duration of more than 21 days, and referral from a health centre. Increasing year between 2001 and 2012 and increasing age (in months) were associated with reduced odds of mortality. Fast breathing was associated with reduced odds of mortality in children 2-11 months of age. However, case fatality rate in 2012 remained high for children with very severe pneumonia (11·8%), severe undernutrition (15·4%), severe acute malnutrition (34·8%), and symptom duration of more than 21 days (9·0%).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERPRETATION: &lt;/b&gt;Pneumonia mortality and its risk factors have steadily improved in the past decade in Malawi; however, mortality remains high in specific subgroups. Improvements in hospital care may have reduced case fatality rates though a lack of sufficient data on quality of care indicators and the potential of socioeconomic and other improvements outside the hospital precludes adequate assessment of why case-fatality rates fell. Results from this study emphasise the importance of effective national systems for data collection. Further work combining this with data on trends in the incidence of pneumonia in the community are needed to estimate trends in the overall risk of mortality from pneumonia in children in Malawi.&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"

&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%">Benini, Franca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piga, Simone</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zangardi, Tiziana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Messi, Gianni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tomasello, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pirozzi, Nicola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cuttini, Marina</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PIPER Study Group</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nationwide study of headache pain in Italy shows that pain assessment is still inadequate in paediatric emergency care.</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%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016 May</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">105</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e200-8</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;Italian national guidelines on pain management were published in 2010, but there is little information on how effective pain management is in paediatric emergency care, with other countries reporting poor levels. Using headache as an indicator, we described pain assessment in Italian emergency departments and identified predictors of algometric scale use.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;All Italian paediatric and maternal and child hospitals participated, plus four general hospitals. Data on all children aged 4-14 years admitted during a one-month period with headache as their chief complaint were abstracted from clinical records. Multivariable analyses identified predictors of algometric assessment, taking into account the cluster study design.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;We studied 470 admissions. During triage, pain was assessed using a standardised scale (41.5%), informally (15.5%) or was not recorded (42.9%). Only 32.1% of the children received analgesia in the emergency department. The odds ratios for predictors of algometric assessment were non-Italian nationality (3.6), prehospital medication (1.8), admission to a research hospital (7.3) and a more favourable nurses-to-admissions ratio of 10.8 for the highest versus lowest tertile.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Despite national guidelines, paediatric pain assessment in Italian emergency care was suboptimal. Hospital variables appeared to be stronger predictors of adequate assessment than patient characteristics.&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/26792256?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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. Further studies will be needed to clarify the biological mechanism which links PDSS2 and coffee consumption.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27561104?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Verver, Eva J J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Topsakal, Vedat</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kunst, Henricus P M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Huygen, Patrick L M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heller, Paula G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pujol-Moix, Núria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savoia, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benazzo, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fierro, Tiziana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grolman, Wilko</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gresele, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecci, Alessandro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nonmuscle Myosin Heavy Chain IIA Mutation Predicts Severity and Progression of Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Patients With MYH9-Related Disease.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ear Hear</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ear Hear</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 Jan-Feb</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">37</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">112-20</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;MYH9-related disease (MYH9-RD) is an autosomal- dominant disorder deriving from mutations in MYH9, the gene for the nonmuscle myosin heavy chain (NMMHC)-IIA. MYH9-RD has a complex phenotype including congenital features, such as thrombocytopenia, and noncongenital manifestations, namely sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), nephropathy, cataract, and liver abnormalities. The disease is caused by a limited number of mutations affecting different regions of the NMMHC-IIA protein. SNHL is the most frequent noncongenital manifestation of MYH9-RD. However, only scarce and anecdotal information is currently available about the clinical and audiometric features of SNHL of MYH9-RD subjects. The objective of this study was to investigate the severity and propensity for progression of SNHL in a large series of MYH9-RD patients in relation to the causative NMMHC-IIA mutations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;This study included the consecutive patients diagnosed with MYH9-RD between July 2007 and March 2012 at four participating institutions. A total of 115 audiograms were analyzed from 63 patients belonging to 45 unrelated families with different NMMHC-IIA mutations. Cross-sectional analyses of audiograms were performed. Regression analysis was performed, and age-related typical audiograms (ARTAs) were derived to characterize the type of SNHL associated with different mutations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Severity of SNHL appeared to depend on the specific NMMHC-IIA mutation. Patients carrying substitutions at the residue R702 located in the short functional SH1 helix had the most severe degree of SNHL, whereas patients with the p.E1841K substitution in the coiled-coil region or mutations at the nonhelical tailpiece presented a mild degree of SNHL even at advanced age. The authors also disclosed the effects of different amino acid changes at the same residue: for instance, individuals with the p.R702C mutation had more severe SNHL than those with the p.R702H mutation, and the p.R1165L substitution was associated with a higher degree of hearing loss than the p.R1165C. In general, mild SNHL was associated with a fairly flat audiogram configuration, whereas severe SNHL correlated with downsloping configurations. ARTA plots showed that the most progressive type of SNHL was associated with the p.R702C, the p.R702H, and the p.R1165L substitutions, whereas the p.R1165C mutation correlated with a milder, nonprogressive type of SNHL than the p.R1165L. ARTA for the p.E1841K mutation demonstrated a mild degree of SNHL with only mild progression, whereas the ARTA for the mutations at the nonhelical tailpiece did not show any substantial progression.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;These data provide useful tools to predict the progression and the expected degree of severity of SNHL in individual MYH9-RD patients, which is especially relevant in young patients. Consequences in clinical practice are important not only for appropriate patient counseling but also for development of customized, genotype-driven clinical management. The authors recently reported that cochlear implantation has a good outcome in MYH9-RD patients; thus, stricter follow-up and earlier intervention are recommended for patients with unfavorable genotypes.&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/26226608?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kostevsek, Nina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Locatelli, Erica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Garrovo, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arena, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monaco, Ilaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nikolov, Ivaylo Petrov</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sturm, Saso</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zuzek Rozman, Kristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lorusso, Vito</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giustetto, Pierangela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bardini, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biffi, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comes Franchini, Mauro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The one-step synthesis and surface functionalization of dumbbell-like gold-iron oxide nanoparticles: a chitosan-based nanotheranostic system.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chem Commun (Camb)</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chem.

In addition, the WHO and The United Nations Children's Fund recommend zinc supplementation for diarrhea in children below 5 years. This article aims at reviewing recent literature on the effects of oral zinc for treating acute diarrhea in children.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RECENT FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;Recent studies confirm that zinc supplementation has a benefit in children below 5 years with acute diarrhea in countries at medium or high risk of zinc deficiency. A few small trials have reported a benefit of zinc in children at low risk of zinc deficiency, with heterogeneity in results. No recent study has explored the effects of zinc in children younger than 6 months, and in this age group previous research refuted any benefit from zinc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SUMMARY: &lt;/b&gt;Current literature supports the use of oral zinc in treating diarrhea in children older than 6 months, especially if at risk of zinc deficiency, such as children with poor diets exposed to recurrent gastrointestinal infections. More research is needed to confirm findings in children at low risk of zinc deficiency. Currently there is no evidence that zinc benefits children younger than 6 months.&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/26963581?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cocca, Massimiliano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bedognetti, Davide</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%">Girotto, Giorgia</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pharmacogenetics driving personalized medicine: analysis of genetic polymorphisms related to breast cancer medications in Italian isolated populations.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Transl Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Transl 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</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">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;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women characterized by a high variable clinical outcome among individuals treated with equivalent regimens and novel targeted therapies. In this study, we performed a population based approach intersecting high-throughput genotype data from Friuli Venezia Giulia (FVG) isolated populations with publically available pharmacogenomics information to estimate the frequency of genotypes correlated with responsiveness to breast cancer treatment thus improving the clinical management of this disease in an efficient and cost effective way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A list of 80 variants reported to be related to the efficacy or toxicity of breast cancer drugs was obtained from PharmGKB database. Fourty-one were present in FVG, 1000G European (EUR) and ExAC (Non Finnish European) databases. Their frequency was extracted using PLINK software and the differences tested by Fisher's exact test.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Statistical analyses revealed that 13 out of the 41 (32 %) variants were significantly different in frequency in our sample as compared to the EUR/ExAC cohorts. For nine variants the available level of evidence (LOE) included polymorphisms related to cyclophosphamide, tamoxifen, doxorubicin, fluorpyrimidine and paclitaxel. In particular, for trastuzumab two variants were detected: (1) rs1801274-G within FCGR2A and associated with decreased efficacy (LOE 2B); (2) rs1136201-G located within ERBB2 and associated with increased toxicity (LOE 3). Both these two variants were underrepresented in the FVG population compared to EUR/ExAC population thus suggesting a high therapeutic index of this drug in our population. Moreover, as regards fluoropyrimidines, the frequency of two polymorphisms within the DPYD gene associated with drug toxicity (e.g., rs2297595-C allele and rs3918290-T allele, LOE 2A and 1, respectively) was extremely low in FVG population thus suggesting that a larger number of FVG patients could benefit from full dosage of fluoropyrimidine therapy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;All these findings increase the overall knowledge on the prevalence of specific variants related with breast cancer treatment responsiveness in FVG population and highlight the importance of assessing gene polymorphisms related with cancer medications in isolated communities.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26801900?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Bedolla, Diana E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vaccari, Lisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Venturin, Irene</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cammisuli, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gianoncelli, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mitri, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giolo, Elena</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%">Zweyer, Marina</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%">Pitfalls and promises in FTIR spectromicroscopy analyses to monitor iron-mediated DNA damage in sperm.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reprod Toxicol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reprod.

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%">Orzan, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ciciriello, E</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Planning early childhood audiologic intervention programs on a regional scale: introduction to an Italian study.</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%">3-9</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Non-uniform, late, or inappropriate care of childhood with permanent hearing impairment (PHI) predisposes many children to develop communicative- behaviour problems and impaired psychosocial adjustment that can persist in adolescence and adulthood.In March 2014, the CCM (Centro Controllo Malattie or Disease Control Centre) of the Italian Ministry of Health funded a project entitled &quot; Preventing Communication Disorders: a Regional Program for Early Identification, Intervention and Care of Hearing Impaired Children&quot;. The project involved 5 tertiary centres with UNHS programs formally approved by the Region. The main purpose of the project is to define and launch an integrated regionally-based public health model for identification, diagnosis and intervention of childhood PHI. The first phase of the project investigated the state of art and produced recommendations for positive changes in identification, diagnosis, therapy and care of childhood PHI in Italy, taking into account diagnostic and treatment innovations, family empowerment, treatment alliance and an interdisciplinary approach. Recommendations drawn from this initial phase will represent the basis for a regional system for early intervention that is validated, integrated and shared between the five regions.&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/27054384?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wanderley-Nogueira, Ana Carolina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bezerra-Neto, João Pacífico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kido, Éderson Akio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Araújo, Flávia Tadeu</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amorim, Lidiane Lindinalva Barbosa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benko-Iseppon, Ana Maria</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Elite Squad: First Defense Line and Resistance Genes - Identification, Diversity and Functional Roles.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr Protein Pept Sci</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr.

A crucial step to define the fate of the plant facing an invading pathogen is the activation of a compatible Resistance (R) gene, the focus of the present review. Different aspects regarding R-genes and their products are discussed, including pathogen recognition mechanisms, signaling and effects on induced and constitutive defense processes, splicing and post transcriptional mechanisms involved. There are still countless challenges to the complete understanding of the mechanisms involving R-genes in plants, in particular those related to the interactions with other genes of the pathogen and of the host itself, their regulation, acting mechanisms at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels, as well as the influence of other types of stress over their regulation. A magnification of knowledge is expected when considering the novel information from the omics and systems biology.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27455974?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maria, Ana Carolina Wanderley-Nogueira</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bezerra-Neto, João Pacífico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kido, Éderson Akio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Araújo, Flávia Tadeu</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amorim, Lidiane Lindinalva Barbosa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benko-Iseppon, Ana Maria</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plants Defense-related Cyclic Peptides: Diversity, Structure and Applications.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr Protein Pept Sci</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr.

Aiming at defending themselves, plants have developed several strategies to survive and adapt to such adversities. Cyclotides are a family of plant-derived proteins that exhibit a diverse range of biological activities including antimicrobial and insecticidal activities that actively participate in plant defense processes. Three main categories of peptides have been described: (i) Cyclotides (ii) Sunflower Trypsin Inhibitor (SFTI) and (iii) peptides MCoTI-I and II, from Momordica cochinchinensis. They comprise proteins of approximately 30 amino acids, containing a head-to-tail cyclized backbone, with three disulfide bonds configured in a cystine knot topology, therefore bearing greater peptide stability. Given their features and multifunctionality, cyclotides stand out as promising sources for the discovery of new antimicrobial agents. The present review describes cyclotide occurrence, abundance and action in plants, also their diversity and evolution. Considerations regarding their use in the context of biomedical and agronomical sciences uses are also presented.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27455973?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Sala, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Todesco, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Buffardi, Salvatore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Garaventa, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bottigliero, Gaetano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bianchi, Maurizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zecca, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Locatelli, Franco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pession, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pillon, Marta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Favre, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Amico, Salvatore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Provenzi, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trizzino, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanazzo, Giulio Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sau, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Santoro, Nicola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Murgia, Giulio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Casini, Tommaso</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mascarin, Maurizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Burnelli, Roberta</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AIEOP Italian Association of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology and Hodgkin Lymphoma Working Group</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The prognostic value of biological markers in paediatric Hodgkin lymphoma.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur J Cancer</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur.

We explored the significance of these markers in a large population of 769 affected children.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PATIENTS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;By using the database of patients enrolled in A.I.E.O.P. (Associazione Italiana di Emato-Oncologia Pediatrica) trial LH2004 for paediatric HL, we identified 769 consecutive patients treated with curative intent from 1st June 2004 to 1st April 2014 with ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine), or hybrid COPP/ABV (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, prednisone, procarbazine, doxorubicin, bleomycin and vinblastine) regimens.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;On multivariate analysis with categorical forms, the 5-year freedom from progression survival was significantly lower in patients with stage IV or elevated value of platelets, eosinophils and ferritin at diagnosis. Furthermore, stage IV and eosinophils seem to maintain their predictive value independently of interim (after IV cycles of chemotherapy) positron emission tomography.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Using the combination of four simple markers such as stage IV and elevated levels of platelets, ferritin and eosinophils, it is possible to classify the patients into subgroups with very different outcomes.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26630532?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vozzi, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girardelli, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tricarico, Paola Maura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Knowles, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vuch, Josef</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piscianz, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bianco, Anna Monica</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Putative modifier genes in mevalonate kinase deficiency.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Med Rep</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Med 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 Apr</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3181-9</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) is an autosomal recessive auto‑inflammatory disease, caused by impairment of the mevalonate pathway. Although the molecular mechanism remains to be elucidated, there is clinical evidence suggesting that other regulatory genes may be involved in determining the phenotype. The identification of novel target genes may explain non‑homogeneous genotype‑phenotype correlations, and provide evidence in support of the hypothesis that novel regulatory genes predispose or amplify deregulation of the mevalonate pathway in this orphan disease. In the present study, DNA samples were obtained from five patients with MKD, which were then analyzed using whole exome sequencing. A missense variation in the PEX11γ gene was observed in homozygosis in P2, possibly correlating with visual blurring. The UNG rare gene variant was detected in homozygosis in P5, without correlating with a specific clinical phenotype. A number of other variants were found in the five analyzed DNA samples from the MKD patients, however no correlation with the phenotype was established. The results of the presents study suggested that further analysis, using next generation sequencing approaches, is required on a larger sample size of patients with MKD, who share the same MVK mutations and exhibit 'extreme' clinical phenotypes. As MVK mutations may be associated with MKD, the identification of specific modifier genes may assist in providing an earlier diagnosis.&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/26935981?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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 face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26755209?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Cattalini, Marco</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></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Recent advances in the use of Anti-TNFα therapy for the treatment of juvenile idiopathic arthritis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Expert Rev Clin Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Expert Rev Clin Immunol</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</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">641-9</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) encompasses a group of diseases of unknown etiology having in common arthritis in at least 1 joint that persists for 6 weeks and begins before 16 years of age, with other conditions excluded. With a prevalence of 1 per 1,000 children in the USA, JIA is the most common pediatric rheumatic illness and a major cause of acquired childhood disability. During the last 20 years, the advent of host immune response modifiers known as biologic agents, in particular the anti-TNFα agents (etanercept, infliximab, adalimumab), which directly inhibit the action of pro-inflammatory mediators, has revolutionized the treatment and the expected outcome of JIA. This article highlights treatment indications of anti-TNFα drugs and their more frequent side effects in JIA patients.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default"

However, due to environmental pressure and high selection operated by pathogens, several crop plants have lost specificity, broad-spectrum or durability of resistance. On the other hand, the advances in plant genome sequencing and biotechnological approaches, combined with the increasing knowledge on R-genes have provided new insights on their applications for plant genetic breeding, allowing the identification and implementation of novel and efficient strategies that enhance or optimize their use for efficiently controlling plant diseases. The present review focuses on main perspectives of application of R-genes and its co-players for the acquisition of resistance to pathogens in cultivated plants, with emphasis on biotechnological inferences, including transgenesis, cisgenesis, directed mutagenesis and gene editing, with examples of success and challenges to be faced.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27455971?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pontillo, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bricher, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leal, V N C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lima, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Souza, P R E</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%">Role of inflammasome genetics in susceptibility to HPV infection and cervical cancer development.</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.

Immune response plays an important role in clearing HPV infection, and host genetic variants resulting in defective immune response have been associated with virus persistence and/or cervical cancer. Considering that genetic variations in inflammasome genes were previously associated with viral infection and cancer development, the present study investigates selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in inflammasome genes as a possible risk factor for HPV infection susceptibility and/or for progression to cervical cancer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PATIENTS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;12 SNPs in seven inflammasome-related genes (NLRP1, NLRP3, NLRP6, CARD8, IL1B, IL18, TNFAIP3) were genotyped in a Brazilian HPV+ case/control cohort (n = 246/310). Multivariate analysis was performed in case/control as well as in HPV+ women stratified by the presence or severity of histologic lesion, HPV persistence, and type of virus.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;IL1B rs1143643 was associated with protection against HPV infection in case/control analysis. NLRP1 rs11651270 plays a protection role against HPV persistence and/or oncogenesis. NLRP3 rs10754558 and IL18 rs1834481 exert a beneficial role against HPV persistence. NLRP3 rs10754558 variant resulted significantly associated with a lower risk to be infected with a high-risk HPV.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Our findings for the first time demonstrated that inflammasome genetics could affect HPV/host interaction in terms of virus susceptibility as well as of virus/persistence and cervical cancer progression.

We reviewed 68 liver biopsies performed between April 2006 and September 2015. 12 (17.6 %) biopsies were performed in the DSU and 56 (82.3 %) in the BMTU; nine (13.2 %) prior to HSCT and 59 (86.7 %) after HSCT. Pre-procedural behavioral status (subjective score) was evaluated by pediatric transplant physicians by filling in a questionnaire employing a three-point scale: &quot;calm and cooperative&quot;, &quot;agitated and non-cooperative&quot; or &quot;frightened and suffering&quot;. Objective score was obtained measuring patient's heart rate before the procedure and comparing it with mean heart rate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Patients who underwent the procedure at the BMTU experienced less emotional distress than those who underwent it in the DSU: 58.3 % of patients treated at the DSU were agitated as compared with 16.1 % of those treated at the BMTU (p &lt; 0.01). Among the 59 biopsies performed after HSCT, 41 (69.5 %) were taken from symptomatic patients for a diagnostic purpose and 18 (30.5 %) in asymptomatic ones in order to rule out hepatic GVHD. Among these 18 procedures, GVHD was diagnosed in 16 (88.9 %) cases. Minor complications occurred in about 17 % of procedures (12 biopsies), at a rate of 25 % for the DSU location compared with 16 % for the BMTU location. Only two major complications were reported, one in the DSU and one in the BMTU.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Liver biopsy performed at bedside in HSCT patients does not carry a higher risk of adverse events than the same procedure performed in the DSU and has lower emotional distress associated with better patient compliance, thus contributing significantly to a higher standard of care.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27485733?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oliveira-Lima, Marx</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benko-Iseppon, Ana Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neto, José Ribamar Costa Ferreira</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rodríguez-Decuadro, Susana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kido, Éderson Akio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pandolfi, Valesca</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Snakin: Structure, Roles and Applications of a Plant Antimicrobial Peptide.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr Protein Pept Sci</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr.

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.

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%">Bramuzzo, Matteo</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><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lazzerini, Marzia</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thalidomide for inflammatory bowel disease: Systematic review.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Medicine (Baltimore)</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Medicine (Baltimore)</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%">95</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e4239</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;Thalidomide is an immunomodulatory drug used in the experimental treatment of refractory Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis. We aimed to review the existing evidence on the efficacy and safety of thalidomide in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;CENTRAL, MEDLINE, LILACS, POPLINE, CINHAL, and Web of Science were searched in March 2016. Manual search included conference and reference lists. All types of studies, except single case reports, were included. Outcomes evaluated were: induction of remission; maintenance of remission; steroid reduction; effect on penetrating Crohn disease; endoscopic remission; adverse events.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The research strategies retrieved 722 papers. Two randomized controlled trials and 29 uncontrolled studies for a total of 489 patients matched the inclusion criteria. Thalidomide induced a clinical response in 296/427 (69.3%) patients. Clinical remission was achieved in 220/427 (51.5%) cases. Maintenance of remission was reported in 128/160 (80.0%) patients at 6 months and in 96/133 (72.2%) at 12 months. Reduction in steroid dosage was reported in 109/152 (71.7%) patients. Fistulas improved in 49/81 (60.5%) cases and closed in 28/81 (34.6%). Endoscopic improvement was observed in 46/66 (69.7%) and complete mucosal healing in 35/66 (53.0%) patients. Cumulative incidence of total adverse events and of those leading to drug suspension was 75.6 and 19.7/1000 patient-months, respectively. Neurological disturbances accounted for 341/530 (64.3%) adverse events and were the most frequent cause of drug withdrawal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Existing evidence suggests that thalidomide may be a valid treatment option for patients with inflammatory bowel diseases refractory to other first- and second-line treatments.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">30</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27472695?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Parco, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vascotto, Fulvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Simeone, Roberto</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thromboprophilaxis in neurological conditions in pregnancy.

Among them, Cronobacter species, previously known as Enterobacter sakazakii, is one of the most harmful, since it might be the causative agent of sepsis and meningitis in newborns and preterm infants during the first weeks of life. The mortality rate of these infections is up to 80 %. Therefore, some precautions are required in the home handling and dilution of PIF. Whereas there is wide consensus about the need that a PIF should be used immediately after being diluted or, if not, stored at &lt; &quot;5 °C&quot;, still recently the optimal temperature of the water used to dilute PIF is controversial among scientific societies and health agencies. The current knowledge is reviewed in this paper and provides sufficient evidence to cautiously advise the use of hot water at a temperature of &quot;70 °C&quot; in the dilution of PIF in order to prevent the Cronobacter sp. contamination and growth.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26895705?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ugwumadu, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Steer, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parer, B</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carbone, B</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vayssiere, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maso, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arulkumaran, S</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Time to optimise and enforce training in interpretation of intrapartum cardiotocograph.</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%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016 May</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">123</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">866-9</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><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/26773808?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pizzol, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bramuzzo, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pillon, Roberto</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%">Torticollis as the Presenting Sign of Cervical Spondylodiscitis.</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;Acquired torticollis is a common clinical finding in children evaluated in the pediatric emergency department.

Spondylodiscitis is a low-grade bacterial infection that involves intervertebral disks and the adjacent vertebral bodies. Spondylodiscitis of the cervical spine is unusual and may be a rare cause of torticollis. We report the case of a 4-year-old male patient admitted to the emergency department for a 5-day history of painful torticollis. Blood tests showed an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate. The radiograph of the cervical spine showed a thin fifth cervical soma. The magnetic resonance imaging of cervical spine showed the alteration of cervical vertebral bodies and intervertebral disks, suggesting the diagnosis of cervical spondylodiscitis.

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%">Cini, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mezzavilla, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Della Puppa, Lara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cupelli, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fornasin, Alessio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Elia, Angela Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dolcetti, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Damante, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bertok, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miolo, Gianmaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maestro, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Paoli, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amoroso, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Viel, Alessandra</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tracking of the origin of recurrent mutations of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in the North-East of Italy and improved mutation analysis strategy.</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.

Since BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations may be spread throughout the gene, genetic testing is usually performed by direct sequencing of entire coding regions. In some populations, especially if relatively isolated, a few number of recurrent mutations is reported, sometimes caused by founder effect.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;BRCA1 and BRCA2 screening for mutations was carried out on 1114 breast and/or ovarian cancer patients complying with the eligibility criteria for BRCA testing. Haplotype analysis was performed on the probands carrying recurrent mutations and their relatives, using two sets of microsatellite markers covering the BRCA1 (D17S588, D17S806, D17S902, D17S1325, D17S855, D17S1328, D17S800, and D17S250) and BRCA2 (D13S220, D13S267, D13S171, D13S1701, D13S1698, D13S260, D13S290, D13S1246) loci. The DMLE + 2.2 software was used to estimate the age of BRCA1 c.676delT and BRCA2 c.7806-2A &gt; G. A multiplex PCR and two different primer extension assays were optimized and used for genotyping the recurrent mutations of the two genes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;In the time frame of almost 20 years of genetic testing, we have found that five BRCA1 and three BRCA2 mutations are recurrent in a substantial subset of carriers from North-East Italy and neighboring Istria, where they represent more than 50 % of all mutations. Microsatellite analyses identified a common haplotype of different length for each mutation. Age estimation of BRCA1 c.676delT and BRCA2 c.7806-2A &gt; G mutations revealed that they arose in the Friuli Venezia Giulia area about 86 and 94 generations ago, respectively. Suggestion of an association between BRCA2 c.7806-2A &gt; G and risk of breast cancer in males has emerged. Finally, we developed a simple and efficient pre-screening test, performing an in-house primer extension SNaPshot® assay for the rapid identification of the eight recurrent mutations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Proofs of common ancestry has been obtained for the eight recurrent mutations. The observed genotype-phenotype correlation and the proposed rapid mutation detection strategy could improve the clinical management of breast and ovarian patients in North-East of Italy and neighboring geographic areas.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26852130?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amorim, Lidiane L B</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">da Fonseca-Dos-Santos, Romulo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guida-Santos, Mauro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benko-Iseppon, Ana Maria</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transcription factors involved in plant resistance to pathogens.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr Protein Pept Sci</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr.

Transcription factors (TFs) are important players in the response to biotic stresses, as insect attack and pathogen infection. In face of such adversities many TF families have been previously reported as differentially expressed in plants as a reaction to bacterial, fungal and viral infection. This review highlights recent progresses in understanding the structure, function, signal regulation and interaction of transcription factors with other proteins in response to pathogens. Hence, we focus on three families of transcription factors: ERF, bZIP and WRKY, due to their abundance, importance and the availability of functionally well-characterized members in response to pathogen attack. Their roles and the possibilities related to the use of this knowledge for engineering pathogen resistance in crop plants are also discussed.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27323805?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lazzari, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meroni, Germana</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">TRIM32 ubiquitin E3 ligase, one enzyme for several pathologies: From muscular dystrophy to tumours.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Biochem Cell Biol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int.

Several TRIM32 substrates were identified including muscular proteins and proteins involved in cell cycle regulation and cell motility. As ubiquitination is a versatile post-translational modification that can affect target turnover, sub-cellular localisation or activity, it is likely that diverse substrates may be differentially affected by TRIM32-mediated ubiquitination, reflecting its multi-faceted roles in muscle physiology, cancer and immunity. With particular relevance for muscle physiology, mutations in TRIM32 are associated with autosomal recessive Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy 2H, a muscle-wasting disease with variable clinical spectrum ranging from almost asymptomatic to wheelchair-bound patients. In this review, we will focus on the ability of TRIM32 to mark specific substrates for proteasomal degradation discussing how the TRIM32-proteasome axis may (i) be important for muscle homeostasis and for the pathogenesis of muscular dystrophy; and (ii) define either an oncogenic or tumour suppressive role for TRIM32 in the context of different types of cancer.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27458054?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celerino da Silva, Ronaldo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coelho, Antônio Victor Campos</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arraes, Luiz Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brandão, Lucas André Cavalcanti</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guimarães, Rafael Lima</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">TRIM5 gene polymorphisms in HIV-1-infected patients and healthy controls from Northeastern Brazil.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Immunol Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Immunol.

TRIM5α protein has restriction activity against replication of many retroviruses. Human TRIM5 gene single nucleotide polymorphisms have been reported as involved in susceptibility to HIV-1 infection. We recruited 213 HIV-1-positive patients and 234 healthy uninfected controls from Northeast Brazil; two non-synonymous variants at exon 2, rs3740996 (H43Y) and rs10838525 (R136Q), and one regulatory polymorphism (rs16934386) at 5'UTR region of TRIM5 were analyzed. The R136Q variation presented significant differences between HIV-1-positive patients and healthy controls. The 136Q allele and the 136QQ genotype were more frequent in healthy controls (32.7 and 10.2 %, respectively) than in HIV-1-positive patients (136Q allele: 24.4 %; OR 0.66; CI 95 % 0.49-0.90; p value = 0.008/136QQ genotype: 4.2 %; OR 0.33; CI 95 % 0.13-0.79, p = 0.008) also after adjusting for age and sex. We also stratified our findings according to the presence of CCR5Δ32 variation, but the results remained the same. We observed that rs10838525 (R136Q) and rs3740996 (H43Y) were in linkage disequilibrium (D' = 0.71), forming four possible haplotypes. The H43-136Q haplotype was significantly more frequent in healthy controls (28.2 %) than in HIV-positive patients (21.4 %; OR 0.69; CI 95 % 0.50-0.96; p = 0.022). An increased frequency of allele (136Q) and genotype (136QQ) of the non-synonymous rs10838525 (R136Q) variant and the haplotype (43H-136Q) was observed among healthy controls individuals. Being aware of the limitation of this study (unavailability of exposed but uninfected individuals), we hypothesize a potential role for TRIM5 variations in the protection against HIV-1 infection.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27388872?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Pastore, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stocco, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moressa, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zandonà, Luigi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Favretto, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Malusà, Noelia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decorti, Giuliana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lepore, Loredana</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%">5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide-transformylase and inosine-triphosphate-pyrophosphatase genes variants predict remission rate during methotrexate therapy in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rheumatol Int</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rheumatol.

Recent studies indicate that relevant variants to predict methotrexate response in JIA are those in 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide-transformylase (ATIC), inosine-triphosphate-pyrophosphatase (ITPA) and solute-liquid-carrier-19A1 genes. The purpose of the study was, therefore, to explore the role of these candidate genetic factors on methotrexate response in an Italian cohort of children with JIA. Clinical response to methotrexate was evaluated as clinical remission stable for a 6-month period, as ACRPed score and as change in Juvenile Arthritis Disease score. The most relevant SNPs for each gene considered were assayed on patients' DNA. ITPA activity was measured in patients' erythrocytes. Sixty-nine patients with JIA were analyzed: 52.2 % responded to therapy (ACRPed70 score), while 37.7 % reached clinical remission stable for 6 months. ATIC rs2372536 GG genotype was associated with improved clinical remission (adjusted p value = 0.0090). For ITPA, rs1127354 A variant was associated with reduced clinical remission: (adjusted p value = 0.028); this association was present even for patients with wild-type ITPA and low ITPA activity. These preliminary results indicate that genotyping of ATIC rs2372536 and ITPA rs1127354 variants or measuring ITPA activity could be useful to predict methotrexate response in children with JIA after validation by further prospective studies on a larger patient cohort.&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/25240429?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Callea, Michele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bellacchio, Emanuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fattori, Fabiana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bertini, Enrico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Callea, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cammarata-Scalisi, Francisco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acute myeloid leukemia in a 3 years old child with cleidocranial dysplasia.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leuk Lymphoma</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leuk.

Advertisements were parent-oriented, aimed at helping parents solve health problems of their babies or at eliciting good feelings, or both. The qualitative interviews to pregnant women showed inability to define the advertised products at first glance due to the ambiguity of the numeral 2 and the presumed age of the portrayed baby; this inability did not disappear after carefully viewing the advertisements and reading the text. When asked in the self-administered questionnaires whether they had ever come across advertisements of infant formula, 81% of mothers reported that they had, despite the legal inexistence of such advertisements, and 65% thought that it was for a product to be used from birth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Advertisements of follow-on formula are perceived by pregnant women and mothers as promoting infant formula.&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/25512963?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Bua, Jenny</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Cunto, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Farina, Maria Luisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Ponti, Fabrizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clavenna, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mandrella, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sagone, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clementi, Maurizio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Advising Mothers on the Use of Medications during Breastfeeding: A Need for a Positive Attitude.</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><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 Jul 14</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;The use of medications by the nursing mother is a common reason for interrupting breastfeeding.

To foster an appropriate approach toward the use of medications in breastfeeding women, the Italian Society of Perinatal Medicine created the following policy statement.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26173811?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Girardelli, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kleiner, Giulio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Knowles, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valencic, Erica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alendronate, a double-edged sword acting in the mevalonate pathway.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Med Rep</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Med 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 Sep</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4238-42</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Aminobisphosphonate aledronate is a compound commonly used clinically for the treatment of osteoporosis and other bone diseases, as a result of it preventing bone resorption. However, in previous years it has also been used to obtain cellular and animal models of a rare genetic disorder termed Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency (MKD). MKD is caused by mutations affecting the mevalonate kinase enzyme, in the cholesterol pathway and alendronate can be used to biochemically mimic the genetic defect as it inhibits farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase in the same pathway. Despite evidence in favor of the inhibition exerted on the mevalonate pathway, there is at least one clinical case of MKD in which alendronate improved not only skeletal and bone fractures, as expected, but also MKD clinical features. Based on this finding, the present study assessed the anti‑inflammatory properties of this aminobisphosphonate in vitro. No anti‑inflammatory effects of alendronate were observed in the in vitro experiments. Since MKD lacks specific treatments, these results may assist scientists and physicians in making the decision as to the most suitable choice of therapeutic compounds for this neglected disease.&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/26096667?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lougaris, Vassilios</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faletra, Flavio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lanzi, Gaetana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vozzi, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valencic, Erica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piscianz, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bianco, AnnaMonica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girardelli, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baronio, Manuela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Loganes, Claudia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fasth, Anders</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salvini, Filippo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trizzino, Antonino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moratto, Daniele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Facchetti, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giliani, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plebani, 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%">Altered germinal center reaction and abnormal B cell peripheral maturation in PI3KR1-mutated patients presenting with HIGM-like phenotype.</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.

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%">Marzuillo, Pierluigi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Germani, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Krauss, Baruch S</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%">Appendicitis in children less than five years old: A challenge for the general practitioner.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">World J Clin Pediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">World J Clin 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 May 8</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19-24</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Acute appendicitis is one of the most common indications for abdominal surgery in pediatrics with peak incidence in the second decade of life. Acute appendicitis in the first years of life is an uncommon event. The clinical presentation is often varied and the diagnosis may be overshadowed by other medical conditions. Gastroenteritis is the most common misdiagnosis, with a history of diarrhea present in 33% to 41% of patients. Pain is the most common presenting symptom in children less than 5 years old, followed by vomiting, fever, anorexia and diarrhea. The most common physical sign is focal tenderness (61% of the patients) followed by guarding (55%), diffuse tenderness (39%), rebound (32%), and mass (6%). Neonatal appendicitis is a very rare disease with high mortality; presenting symptoms are nonspecific with abdominal distension representing the main clinical presentation. The younger the patient, the earlier perforation occurs: 70% of patients less than 3 years develop a perforation within 48 h of onset of symptoms. A timely diagnosis reduces the risk of complications. We highlight the epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical signs and laboratory clues of appendicitis in young children and suggest an algorithm for early diagnosis.&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/26015876?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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?

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%">Cenedese, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mezzavilla, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morgan, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marino, Renato</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ettorre, Cosimo Pietro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Margaglione, Maurizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Menini, Anna</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Assessment of the olfactory function in Italian patients with type 3 von Willebrand disease caused by a homozygous 253 Kb deletion involving VWF and TMEM16B/ANO2.</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%">Case-Control Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Association Studies</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%">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%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Olfactory Mucosa</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Olfactory Perception</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sequence Deletion</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Smell</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">von Willebrand Disease, Type 3</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">von Willebrand Factor</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</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e0116483</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Type 3 Von Willebrand disease is an autosomal recessive disease caused by the virtual absence of the von Willebrand factor (VWF). A rare 253 kb gene deletion on chromosome 12, identified only in Italian and German families, involves both the VWF gene and the N-terminus of the neighbouring TMEM16B/ANO2 gene, a member of the family named transmembrane 16 (TMEM16) or anoctamin (ANO). TMEM16B is a calcium-activated chloride channel expressed in the olfactory epithelium. As a patient homozygous for the 253 kb deletion has been reported to have an olfactory impairment possibly related to the partial deletion of TMEM16B, we assessed the olfactory function in other patients using the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT). The average UPSIT score of 4 homozygous patients was significantly lower than that of 5 healthy subjects with similar sex, age and education. However, 4 other members of the same family, 3 heterozygous for the deletion and 1 wild type, had a slightly reduced olfactory function indicating that socio-cultural or other factors were likely to be responsible for the observed difference. These results show that the ability to identify odorants of the homozygous patients for the deletion was not significantly different from that of the other members of the family, showing that the 253 kb deletion does not affect the olfactory performance. As other genes may compensate for the lack of TMEM16B, we identified some predicted functional partners from in silico studies of the protein-protein network of TMEM16B. Calculation of diversity for the corresponding genes for individuals of the 1000 Genomes Project showed that TMEM16B has the highest level of diversity among all genes of the network, indicating that TMEM16B may not be under purifying selection and suggesting that other genes in the network could compensate for its function for olfactory ability.&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/25635880?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chagas, Bárbara Simas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comar, Manola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gurgel, Ana Pavla Almeida Diniz</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paiva, Sérgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seraceni, Silva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Freitas, Antonio Carlos</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%">Association Study between Cervical Lesions and Single or Multiple Vaccine-Target and Non-Vaccine Target Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Types in Women from Northeastern Brazil.</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%">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%">e0132570</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;We performed an association between high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL), low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) and single or multiple vaccine-target as well as non-vaccine target Human papillomavirus (HPV) types. Using bead-based HPV genotyping, 594 gynecological samples were genotyped. An association between squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL) and presence of HPV16, 18, 31, 58 and 56 types were calculated. The risk was estimated by using odds ratio (OR) and 95% of confidence intervals (CI). A total of 370 (62.3%) women were HPV positive. Among these, 157 (42.7%) presented a single HPV infection, and 212 (57.3%) were infected by more than one HPV type. HPV31 was the most prevalent genotype, regardless single and multiple HPV infections. Single infection with HPV31 was associated with LSIL (OR=2.32; 95%CI: 1.01 to 5.32; p=0.04); HPV31 was also associated with LSIL (OR=3.28; 95%CI: 1.74 to 6.19; p= 0.0002) and HSIL (OR=3.82; 95%CI: 2.10 to 6.97; p&lt;0.001) in multiple HPV infections. Risk to harbor cervical lesions was observed in multiple HPV infections with regard to the HPV56 (OR=5.39; 95%CI: 2.44 to 11.90; p&lt;0.001for LSIL; OR=5.37; 95%CI: 2.71 to 10.69; p&lt;0.001) and HPV58 (OR=3.29; 95%CI: 1.34 to 8.09; p=0.0091 for LSIL; OR=3.55; 95%CI: 1.56 to 8.11; p=0.0026) genotypes. In addition, women coinfected with HPV16/31/56 types had 6 and 5-fold increased risk of HSIL (OR=6.46; 95%CI: 1.89 to 22.09; p=0.002) and LSIL (OR=5.22; 95%CI: 1.10 to 24.70; p=0.03), respectively. Multiple HPV infections without HPV16/18 has 2-fold increased risk of HSIL (OR=2.57; 95%CI: 1.41 to 4.70; p=0.002) and LSIL OR=2.03; 95%CI: 1.08 to 3.79; p=0.02). The results of this study suggest that single and multiple vaccine target as well as non-vaccine target HPV types are associated with LSIL and HSIL. These finding should be taken into consideration in the design of HPV vaccination strategies.&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/26176537?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Gortani, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faletra, Flavio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bruno, Irene</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berti, 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%">&quot;Blaschkoid dyspigmentation&quot; in a child: don't forget fibroblast chromosomal analysis.</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.

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%">Carlino, Davide</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Francavilla, Ruggiero</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baj, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kulak, Karolina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">d'Adamo, Pio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ulivi, Sheila</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cappellani, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tongiorgi, Enrico</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brain-derived neurotrophic factor serum levels in genetically isolated populations: gender-specific association with anxiety disorder subtypes but not with anxiety levels or Val66Met polymorphism.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PeerJ</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PeerJ</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%">3</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e1252</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Anxiety disorders (ADs) are disabling chronic disorders with exaggerated behavioral response to threats. This study was aimed at testing the hypothesis that ADs may be associated with reduced neurotrophic activity, particularly of Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and determining possible effects of genetics on serum BDNF concentrations. In 672 adult subjects from six isolated villages in North-Eastern Italy with high inbreeding, we determined serum BDNF levels and identified subjects with different ADs subtypes such as Social and Specific Phobias (PHSOC, PHSP), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), and Panic Disorder (PAD). Analysis of the population as a whole or individual village showed no significant correlation between serum BDNF levels and Val66Met polymorphism and no association with anxiety levels. Stratification of subjects highlighted a significant decrease in serum BDNF in females with GAD and males with PHSP. This study indicates low heritability and absence of any impact of the Val66Met polymorphism on circulating concentrations of BDNF. Our results show that BDNF is not a general biomarker of anxiety but serum BDNF levels correlate in a gender-specific manner with ADs subtypes.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26539329?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Tornese, Gianluca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marzuillo, Pierluigi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pellegrin, Maria Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Germani, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faleschini, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zennaro, Floriana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grandone, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miraglia Del Giudice, Emanuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Perrone, Laura</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 case of Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome associated with growth hormone deficiency in childhood.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin Endocrinol (Oxf)</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin.

A reliable, long-lasting venous access represents one of the critical requirements for the success of those treatments.

Baseline HbO2, HbTot and HbO2/HbTot values were initially collected with NCPAP at 5 cm H2O and then compared with values obtained with NCPAP levels at both 3 and 8 cm H2O.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Compared with 5 cm H2O, cerebral HbO2, HbTot and HbO2/HbTot remained unchanged both after increasing (to 8 cm H2O) and decreasing (to 3 cm H2O) the NCPAP level. This result was observed both in regional areas (24 sites) and in the overall monitored area (frontal and parietal cortex). Compared with 8 cm H2O, peripheral oxygen saturation significantly decreased at 3 cm H2O (p=0.021).

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%">Callea, Michele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yavuz, Izzet</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clarich, Gabriella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cammarata-Scalisi, Francisco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">[Clinical and molecular study in a child with X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia].</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch Argent Pediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch Argent 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 Dec 1</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">113</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e341-4</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">spa</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Ectodermal dysplasia encompasses more than 200 clinically distinct entities, which affect at least two structures derived from the ectoderm, including the skin, hair, nails, teeth, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands.

FA is genetically heterogeneous as it is caused by at least 17 different genes. Among these, FANCA, FANCC, and FANCG account for approximately 85% of the patients whereas the remaining genes are mutated in only a small percentage of cases. For this reason, the molecular diagnostic process is complex and not always extended to all the FA genes, preventing the characterization of individuals belonging to rare groups.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;The FA genes were analyzed using a next generation sequencing approach in two unrelated families.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The analysis identified the same, c.484_485del, homozygous mutation of FANCF in both families. A careful examination of three electively aborted fetuses in one family and one affected girl in the other indicated an association of the FANCF loss-of-function mutation with a severe phenotype characterized by multiple malformations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;The systematic use of next generation sequencing will allow the recognition of individuals from rare complementation groups, a better definition of their clinical phenotypes, and consequently, an appropriate genetic counseling.

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. At least during a medium-term follow-up, this approach has no negative consequences relating to clinical remission, adherence to diet, and quality of life of children with CD.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26578746?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zorzet, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Leo, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zauli, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Seta, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bulla, R</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The combination of N-acetyl cysteine, alpha-lipoic acid, and bromelain shows high anti-inflammatory properties in novel in vivo and in vitro models of endometriosis.</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%">918089</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 evaluate the efficacy of an association of N-acetyl cystein, alpha-lipoic acid, and bromelain (NAC/LA/Br) in the treatment of endometriosis we set up a new in vivo murine model. We explored the anti-inflammatory and proapoptotic effect of this combination on human endometriotic endothelial cells (EECs) and on endothelial cells isolated from normal uterus (UtMECs). We implanted fragments of human endometriotic cysts intraperitoneally into SCID mice to evaluate the efficacy of NAC/LA/Br treatment. UtMECs and EECs, untreated or treated with NAC/LA/Br, were activated with the proinflammatory stimulus TNF-α and their response in terms of VCAM1 expression was evaluated. The proapoptotic effect of higher doses of NAC/LA/Br on UtMECs and EECs was measured with a fluorogenic substrate for activated caspases 3 and 7. The preincubation of EECs with NAC/LA/Br prior to cell stimulation with TNF-α prevents the upregulation of the expression of the inflammatory &quot;marker&quot; VCAM1. Furthermore NAC/LA/Br were able to induce EEC, but not UtMEC, apoptosis. Finally, the novel mouse model allowed us to demonstrate that mice treated with NAC/LA/Br presented a lower number of cysts, smaller in size, compared to untreated mice. Our findings suggest that these dietary supplements may have potential therapeutic uses in the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases like endometriosis.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25960622?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Staffolani, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Strafella, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nocchi, Linda</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Manzella, Nicola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grossi, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bracci, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pignotti, Elettra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alleva, Renata</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Borghi, Battista</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pompili, Cecilia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sabbatini, Armando</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rubini, Corrado</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zuccatosta, Lina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bichisecchi, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valentino, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Horwood, Keith</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%">Dong, Lan-Feng</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neuzil, Jiri</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amati, Monica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tomasetti, Marco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Combined circulating epigenetic markers to improve mesothelin performance in the diagnosis of malignant mesothelioma.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lung Cancer</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lung Cancer</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 25</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;OBJECTIVES: &lt;/b&gt;Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is a highly aggressive tumor with poor prognosis. 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%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Knowles, Alessandra</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comment on: 'Anthropometric parameters in relation to glycaemic status and lipid profile in a multi-ethnic sample in Italy' by Gualdi-Russo et al.</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%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 Oct 28</style></date></pub-dates></dates><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></pages><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/26507801?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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, Ruda de Luna Almeida</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%">Comment to Santos et al., &quot;hyper-IgD and periodic fever syndrome: a new MVK mutation (p.R277G) associated with a severe phenotype&quot;.</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%">Fever</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Immunoglobulin D</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mutation, Missense</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phosphotransferases (Alcohol Group Acceptor)</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 Mar 15</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">559</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">99-101</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;We performed molecular modeling analysis onto a novel mutation in the gene MVK, described by Santos et al., found to be causative of a severe form of Hyper-IgD/Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency. The mutation p.R277G, in our analysis, lowers the binding affinity for some enzyme's substrates. Interestingly, we found that p.R277G mutation inhibits binding of Isopentenyl Pyrophosphate (IPP) (binding free energy=0 kcal/mol), one of isoprenoids responsible for feedback-inhibition of MVK. IPP is known to be an activator of a specific class of T-cells and we can hypothesize that increased levels of this metabolite generate an aberrant immune system response. Indeed other experiments are needed to verify this hypothesis; however, this work demonstrates usefulness of molecular modeling in generating novel pathogenic hypothesis.&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/25620160?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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.

The HLA-G 5' upstream regulatory region (URR), 3' untranslated region (UTR) and a cytosine deletion at exon 3 (ΔC, HLA-G*0105N allele) were analyzed in 114 SLE patients and 128 healthy controls from North East Brazil. The +3003T&gt;C (rs1707) C allele and the HG010101c extended HLA-G allele were significantly more frequent in SLE patients than healthy controls (+3003C allele frequency: 12% in SLE patients vs 6% in controls; odds ratio (OR), 2.10, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.06-4.28, P = 0.026; HG010101c frequency: 11.8% in SLE patients and 6.3% in controls; OR, 2.14, 95% CI, 1.01-4.51, P = 0.046) and were associated with susceptibility for disease development. Other polymorphisms were associated with different clinical manifestations. Although HLA-G role in SLE disease is far from being elucidated yet, our association study results along with a systematic review and meta-analysis suggest that HLA-G might be able to slightly modulate the complex SLE phenotype (pooled OR, 1.14, 95% CI, 1.02-1.27, P = 0.021).&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/25762019?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Dallapiccola, Bruno</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Franzè, Annamaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mauri, Lucia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Perrone, Maria Dolores</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%">Connexin 26 variant carriers have a better gastrointestinal health: is this the heterozygote advantage?</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.

However, DCA molecule exhibits poor bioavailability and cellular uptake with limited ability to reach its target mitochondria. To overcome these biases, we have synthesized novel DCA-loaded compounds. The selection of the most promising therapeutic molecule was evaluated by combining in vitro assays, to test the antitumoral potential on leukemic cells, and a preliminary characterization of the molecule stability in vivo, in mice. Among the newly synthesized compounds, we have selected the multiple DCA-loaded compound 10, characterized by a tertiary amine scaffold, because it exhibited enhanced (&gt;30-fold) in vitro antitumor activity with respect to DCA and increased in vivo stability. On the basis of these results, we believe that compound 10 should be considered for further preclinical evaluations for the treatment of cancers and/or other diseases characterized by altered metabolic origin.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26653539?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girardelli, Martina</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%">Loganes, Claudia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morreale, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bianco, Anna Monica</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The diagnostic challenge of very early-onset enterocolitis in an infant with XIAP deficiency.</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%">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%">208</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;Aggressive course and resistance to treatments usually characterize very early onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD). Some VEO-IBD cases are due to monogenic immune defects and can benefit from hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CASE PRESENTATION: &lt;/b&gt;We describe a Caucasian male baby who presented in the first months of life macrophage activation syndrome, followed by intractable colitis, recurrent episodes of fever and mild splenomegaly. After several immunological, genetic and clinical investigations, subsequently a therapeutic attempt with colectomy, analysis of VEO-IBD-associated genes, revealed a causative mutation in XIAP. The genetic diagnosis of a primary immune deficiency allowed curing the boy with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Our report, together with novel findings from recent literature, should contribute to increase awareness of monogenic immune defects as a cause of VEO-IBD. Comprehensive genetic analysis can allow a prompt diagnosis, resulting in the choice of effective treatments and sparing useless and damaging procedures.&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/26671016?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">De Pieri, Carlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taddio, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Insalaco, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lepore, Loredana</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%">Different presentations of mevalonate kinase deficiency: a case series.</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 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%">Maximova, Natalia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pizzol, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giurici, Nagua</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Granzotto, Marilena</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Does defibrotide induce a delay to polymorphonuclear neutrophil engraftment after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation?

The aim of this study was to investigate whether DFT prophylaxis affects neutrophil engraftment in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A cohort of 44 consecutive pediatric patients who underwent HSCT was retrospectively analyzed to see the role of DFT on engraftment. Patients were assigned into two groups based on the use or non-use of prophylaxis with DFT.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The mean time to engraftment was statistically different between the two groups for both polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) and white blood cells.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Our study supports the hypothesis that prophylaxis with DFT for VOD leads to a delay to the engraftment of PMN in pediatric patients that underwent HSCT.&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/25877307?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Pizzol, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrara, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maestro, Alessandra</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%">Does Teno Torque Virus Induce Autoimmunity After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation?

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%">Lazzerini, Marzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelossi, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Magazzù, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pellegrino, Salvatore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lucanto, Maria Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barabino, Arrigo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calvi, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arrigo, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lionetti, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lorusso, Monica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mangiantini, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fontana, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zuin, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Palla, Gabriella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maggiore, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bramuzzo, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pellegrin, Maria Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maschio, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Villanacci, Vincenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Manenti, Stefania</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><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paparazzo, Rossella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montico, Marcella</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%">Effect of Thalidomide on Clinical Remission in Children and Adolescents with Ulcerative Colitis Refractory to Other Immunosuppressives: Pilot Randomized Clinical Trial.</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.

This pilot study aimed at evaluating thalidomide in refractory pediatric ulcerative colitis (UC).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial on thalidomide 1.5 to 2.5 mg/kg/day in children with active UC despite multiple immunosuppressive treatments. In an open-label extension, nonresponders to placebo received thalidomide for an additional 8 weeks; all responders were followed up for a minimum of 52 weeks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Twenty-six children with refractory UC were randomized to thalidomide or placebo. Clinical remission at week 8 was achieved by significantly more children treated with thalidomide {10/12 (83.3%) versus 2/11 (18.8%); risk ratio, 4.5 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.2-16.4); P = 0.005; number needed to treat, 1.5}. Of the nonresponders to placebo who were switched to thalidomide, 8 of 11 (72.7%) subsequently reached remission at week 8 (risk ratio, 4.0 [95% CI, 1.1-14.7]; number needed to treat, 2.45; P = 0.01). Clinical remission in the thalidomide group was 135.0 weeks (95% CI, 32-238), compared with 8.0 weeks (95% CI, 2.4-13.6) in the placebo group (P &lt; 0.0001). Cumulative incidence of severe adverse events was 3.1 per 1000 patient-weeks. Peripheral neuropathy and amenorrhea were the most frequent adverse events.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;In this pilot randomized controlled trial on cases of UC refractory to immunosuppressive therapy, thalidomide compared with placebo resulted in improved clinical remission at 8 weeks of treatment and in longer term maintenance of remission. These findings require replication in larger clinical studies evaluating both thalidomide efficacy and safety.&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/26185909?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Pavan, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maschio, Massimo</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%">Extremely large air distension of the bowel.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Air</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biopsy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hirschsprung Disease</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Intestine, Large</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rectum</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 13</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">385</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2399</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9985</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25703456?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valencic, Erica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biagi, Ettore</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><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cuzzoni, Eva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gaipa, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Badolato, Raffaela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prandini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biondi, Andrea</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%">Failure of interferon-γ pre-treated mesenchymal stem cell treatment in a patient with Crohn's disease.</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.

It has recently been observed that MSC may also exert a profound immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory effect both in vitro and in vivo with consequent potential use in autoimmune disorders. We present the case of a patient suffering from childhood-onset, multidrug resistant and steroid-dependent Crohn's disease who underwent systemic infusions of MSC, which led to a temporary reduction in CCR4, CCR7 and CXCR4 expression by T-cells, and a temporary decrease in switched memory B-cells, In addition, following MSC infusion, lower doses of steroids were needed to inhibit proliferation of the patient's peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Despite these changes, no significant clinical benefit was observed, and the patient required rescue therapy with infliximab and subsequent autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The results of biological and in vitro observations after MSC use and the clinical effects of infusion are discussed, and a brief description is provided of previous data on MSC-based therapy in autoimmune disorders.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25892890?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zennaro, Floriana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neri, Elena</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fainting Starting Parenteral Nutrition.</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%">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%">648</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Complications such as mechanical accidents, infections, and thrombosis are commonly described in the presence of a central venous catheter.

It is only in recent times, with the more severe forms of fever from infectious origin becoming less frequent or a cause for worry that we started noticing recurrent fevers without any clear infectious cause, being described as having a pathogenesis of autoinflammatory nature. The use of molecular examinations in many cases can allow a diagnosis where the cause is monogenic. In other cases, however the pathogenesis is likely to be multifactorial and the diagnostic-therapeutic approach is strictly clinical. The old fever tree paradigm developed to describe fevers caused by malaria has been revisited here to describe today's periodic fevers from the periodic fever adenitis pharyngitis aphthae syndrome to the more rare autoinflammatory diseases. This model may allow us to place cases that are yet to be identified which are likely to be of multifactorial origin.&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/26566482?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Addobbati, Catarina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Azevêdo Silva, Jaqueline</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A C Tavares, Nathália</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monticielo, Odirlei</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">M Xavier, Ricardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">T Brenol, João Carlos</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">B Chies, José Artur</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandrin-Garcia, Paula</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ficolin Gene Polymorphisms in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Rheumatoid Arthritis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann Hum Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann.

Several findings link SLE and RA development with the complement system and ficolin components have emerged as candidates for disease development. Since genetic association studies with ficolin genes in SLE and RA have not yet been conducted in a Brazilian population, the aim of this study was to determine whether polymorphisms of ficolin-1(FCN1) and ficolin-2 (FCN2) genes are associated with SLE and RA susceptibility as well as disease manifestation. Two SNPs within FCN1 (rs2989727 and 1071583) and three in FCN2 (rs17514136, rs3124954, and rs7851696) were studied in 208 SLE and184 RA patients as well as 264 healthy individuals in a Southeast Brazilian population. For SLE patients, the FCN2 rs17514136 SNP was associated with a more severe disease (SLICC) (p = 0.0067). Furthermore, an association between the occurrence of nephritis and the T/T genotype for FCN2 rs3124954 SNP (p = 0.047, OR = 3.17, 95%CI = 1.34-7.5) was observed. No association was observed between the studied polymorphisms and RA development. Thus, our data support involvement of the FCN2 gene in the SLE phenotype.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26464189?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monaco, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Badina, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barni, Simona</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Longo, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Novembre, Elio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Viola, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monti, Giovanna</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome caused by fish and/or shellfish in Italy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Allergy Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Allergy Immunol</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 19</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: &lt;/b&gt;The study describes the demographic features, culprit foods, clinical features and outcomes for children presenting with acute fish and/or shellfish food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) in four Italian paediatric allergy centres.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A retrospective/prospective study was undertaken. All children diagnosed with fish or shellfish FPIES were enrolled. The diagnosis of FPIES was based on Sicherer's or Miceli Sopo clinical criteria. Skin prick tests (SPT) were performed in all patients, at the time of diagnosis and prior to OFC.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Seventy children were enrolled. Mean age at first episode was 14 months (range 6-46 months); mean age at diagnosis was 34 months (range 6-164 months). Sole and cod were the fish most commonly implicated. Fifty-seven of 70 (81%) children had FPIES exclusively to fish, 37 of 57 (65%) children had single-fish FPIES, 20 of 57 (35%) multiple-fish FPIES, nine of 70 (13%) presented adverse reactions exclusively to shellfish, and four of 70 (6%) presented adverse reactions to both fish and shellfish. Only four (5.7%) children presented episodes of acute FPIES with different foods (2 to cow's milk, 1 to egg, 1 to beef); in all cases, onset was prior to that of fish or shellfish FPIES. Fifteen of 70 (21%) children tolerated fish other than the offending fish. Twenty-four of 70 (34%) children achieved tolerance (age range 24-102 months).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The chief peculiarities of acute fish and shellfish FPIES, compared to more frequent cow's milk or soy FPIES, are (i) later age of onset, (ii) longer persistence and (iii) possibility of tolerating fish other than the offending fish.

In this study we applied in-line free propagation X-ray phase-contrast CT (XPCT) in an allergic asthma mouse model to assess structural changes as well as the biodistribution of barium-labelled macrophages in lung tissue. Alveolar macrophages that were barium-sulfate-loaded and fluorescent-labelled were instilled intratracheally into asthmatic and control mice. Mice were sacrificed after 24 h, lungs were kept in situ, inflated with air and scanned utilizing XPCT at the SYRMEP beamline (Elettra Synchrotron Light Source, Italy). Single-distance phase retrieval was used to generate data sets with ten times greater contrast-to-noise ratio than absorption-based CT (in our setup), thus allowing to depict and quantify structural hallmarks of asthmatic lungs such as reduced air volume, obstruction of airways and increased soft-tissue content. Furthermore, we found a higher concentration as well as a specific accumulation of the barium-labelled macrophages in asthmatic lung tissue. It is believe that XPCT will be beneficial in preclinical asthma research for both the assessment of therapeutic response as well as the analysis of the role of the recruitment of macrophages to inflammatory sites.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pt 1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25537601?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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'Apolito, Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pisanelli, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faletra, Flavio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giardino, Ida</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gigante, Maddalena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pettoello-Mantovani, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goulet, Olivier</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campanozzi, Angelo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic analysis of Italian patients with congenital tufting enteropathy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">World J Pediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">World 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 Dec 18</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: &lt;/b&gt;Congenital tufting enteropathy (CTE), an inherited autosomal recessive rare disease, is a severe diarrhea of infancy which is clinically characterized by absence of inflammation and presence of intestinal villous atrophy. Mutations in the EpCAM gene were identified to cause CTE. Recent cases of syndromic tufting enteropathy harboring the SPINT2 (19q13.2) mutation were described.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Four CTE Italian patients were clinically and immunohistochemically characterized. Direct DNA sequencing of EpCAM and SPINT2 genes was performed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;All patients were of Italian origin. Three different mutations were detected (p.Asp219Metfs*15, Tyr186Phefs*6 and p.Ile146Asn) in the EpCAM gene; one of them is novel (p.Ile146Asn). Two patients (P1 and P2) showed compound heterozygosity revealing two mutations in separate alleles. A third patient (P3) was heterozygous for only one novel EpCAM missense mutation (p.Ile146Asn). In a syndromic patient (P4), no deleterious EpCAM mutation was found. Additional SPINT2 mutational analysis was performed. P4 showed a homozygous SPINT2 mutation (p.Y163C). No SPINT2 mutation was found in P3. CLDN7 was also evaluated as a candidate gene by mutational screening in P3 but no mutation was identified.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;This study presented a molecular characterization of CTE Italian patients, and identified three mutations in the EpCAM gene and one in the SPINT2 gene. One of EpCAM mutations was novel, therefore increasing the mutational spectrum of allelic variants of the EpCAM gene. Molecular analysis of the SPINT2 gene also allowed us to identify a SPINT2 substitution mutation (c.488A&gt;G) recently found to be associated with syndromic CTE subjects.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26684320?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Stocco, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Favretto, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Iudicibus, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taddio, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">d'Adamo, Pio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Malusà, Noelia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Addobbati, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decorti, Giuliana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lepore, Loredana</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%">Genetic determinants for methotrexate response in juvenile idiopathic arthritis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Front Pharmacol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Front Pharmacol</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%">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;Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIAs) is the most common chronic rheumatic disease of childhood and is an important cause of disability. The folic acid analog methotrexate is the first choice disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug in this disease, however, 35-45% of patients fail to respond. Molecular elements, such as variants in genes of pharmacological relevance, influencing response to methotrexate in JIA, would be important to individualize treatment strategies. Several studies have evaluated the effects of candidate genetic variants in the complex pathway of genes involved in methotrexate pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics, however, results are still contrasting and no definitive genetic marker of methotrexate response useful for the clinician to tailor therapy of children with JIA has been identified. Recently, genome-wide approaches have been applied, identifying new potential biological processes involved in methotrexate response in JIA such as TGF-beta signaling and calcium channels. If these genomic results are properly validated and integrated with innovative analyses comprising deep sequencing, epigenetics, and pharmacokinetics, they will greatly contribute to personalize therapy with methotrexate in children with JIA.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25852556?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Haber, Marc</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mezzavilla, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Xue, Yali</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comas, David</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zalloua, Pierre</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tyler-Smith, Chris</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic evidence for an origin of the Armenians from Bronze Age mixing of multiple populations.</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.

Here, we analyse genome-wide variation in 173 Armenians and compare them with 78 other worldwide populations. We find that Armenians form a distinctive cluster linking the Near East, Europe, and the Caucasus. We show that Armenian diversity can be explained by several mixtures of Eurasian populations that occurred between ~3000 and ~2000 bce, a period characterized by major population migrations after the domestication of the horse, appearance of chariots, and the rise of advanced civilizations in the Near East. However, genetic signals of population mixture cease after ~1200 bce when Bronze Age civilizations in the Eastern Mediterranean world suddenly and violently collapsed. Armenians have since remained isolated and genetic structure within the population developed ~500 years ago when Armenia was divided between the Ottomans and the Safavid Empire in Iran. Finally, we show that Armenians have higher genetic affinity to Neolithic Europeans than other present-day Near Easterners, and that 29% of Armenian ancestry may originate from an ancestral population that is best represented by Neolithic Europeans.European Journal of Human Genetics advance online publication, 21 October 2015; doi:10.1038/ejhg.2015.206.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26486470?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">El Shanti, Hatem</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chouchane, Lotfi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Badii, Ramin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gallouzi, Imed Eddine</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%">Genetic testing and genomic analysis: a debate on ethical, social and legal issues in the Arab world with a focus on Qatar.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Transl Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Transl Med</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%">13</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">358</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 2013 both Saudi Arabia and Qatar launched genome projects with the aim of providing information for better diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases and, ultimately to realize personalized medicine by sequencing hundred thousands samples. These population based genome activities raise a series of relevant ethical, legal and social issues general, related to the specific population structure as well as to the Islamic perspective on genomic analysis and genetic testing. To contribute to the debate, the Authors after reviewing the existing literature and taking advantage of their professional experience in the field and in the geographic area, discuss and provide their opinions. In particular, the Authors focus on the impact of consanguinity on population structure and disease frequency in the Arab world, on genetic testing and genomic analysis (i.e. technical aspects, impact, etc.) and on their regulations. A comparison between the Islamic perspective and the ethical, social and legal issues raised in other population contexts is also carried. In conclusion, this opinion article with an up-to-date contribution to the discussion on the relevance and impact of genomic analysis and genetic testing in the Arab world, might help in producing specific national guidelines on genetic testing and genomic analysis and help accelerate the implementation and roll out of genome projects in Muslim countries and more specifically in Qatar, and other countries of the Gulf.&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/26572608?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bianco, Anna Monica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girardelli, Martina</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%">Genetics of inflammatory bowel disease from multifactorial to monogenic forms.</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.

According to a recent study, the number of IBD association loci is increased to 201, of which 37 and 27 loci contribute specifically to the development of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis respectively. Some IBD associated genes are involved in innate immunity, in the autophagy and in the inflammatory response such as NOD2, ATG16L1 and IL23R, while other are implicated in immune mediated disease (STAT3) and in susceptibility to mycobacterium infection (IL12B). In case of early onset of IBD (VEO-IBD) within the 6(th) year of age, the disease may be caused by mutations in genes responsible for severe monogenic disorders such as the primary immunodeficiency diseases. In this review we discuss how these monogenic disorders through different immune mechanisms can similarly be responsible of VEO-IBD phenotype.

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. The new associations would have been missed in analyses based on 1000 Genomes Project data, underlining the advantages of large-scale sequencing in this founder population.&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/26366554?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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 M</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%">Genome-wide association analysis on five isolated populations identifies variants of the HLA-DOA gene associated with white wine liking.</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.

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"

size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;IMPORTANCE: &lt;/b&gt;Cancer is among the leading causes of death worldwide. 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%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26181261?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GBD 2013 Mortality and Causes of Death Collaborators</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Global, regional, and national age-sex specific all-cause and cause-specific mortality for 240 causes of death, 1990-2013: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</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%">Cause of Death</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child Mortality</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%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Global Health</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%">Life Expectancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Life Tables</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%">Models, Statistical</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mortality</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sex Distribution</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 Jan 10</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">385</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">117-71</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;Up-to-date evidence on levels and trends for age-sex-specific all-cause and cause-specific mortality is essential for the formation of global, regional, and national health policies. In the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013) we estimated yearly deaths for 188 countries between 1990, and 2013. We used the results to assess whether there is epidemiological convergence across countries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We estimated age-sex-specific all-cause mortality using the GBD 2010 methods with some refinements to improve accuracy applied to an updated database of vital registration, survey, and census data. We generally estimated cause of death as in the GBD 2010. Key improvements included the addition of more recent vital registration data for 72 countries, an updated verbal autopsy literature review, two new and detailed data systems for China, and more detail for Mexico, UK, Turkey, and Russia. We improved statistical models for garbage code redistribution. We used six different modelling strategies across the 240 causes; cause of death ensemble modelling (CODEm) was the dominant strategy for causes with sufficient information. Trends for Alzheimer's disease and other dementias were informed by meta-regression of prevalence studies. For pathogen-specific causes of diarrhoea and lower respiratory infections we used a counterfactual approach. We computed two measures of convergence (inequality) across countries: the average relative difference across all pairs of countries (Gini coefficient) and the average absolute difference across countries. To summarise broad findings, we used multiple decrement life-tables to decompose probabilities of death from birth to exact age 15 years, from exact age 15 years to exact age 50 years, and from exact age 50 years to exact age 75 years, and life expectancy at birth into major causes. For all quantities reported, we computed 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs). We constrained cause-specific fractions within each age-sex-country-year group to sum to all-cause mortality based on draws from the uncertainty distributions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;Global life expectancy for both sexes increased from 65.3 years (UI 65.0-65.6) in 1990, to 71.5 years (UI 71.0-71.9) in 2013, while the number of deaths increased from 47.5 million (UI 46.8-48.2) to 54.9 million (UI 53.6-56.3) over the same interval. Global progress masked variation by age and sex: for children, average absolute differences between countries decreased but relative differences increased. For women aged 25-39 years and older than 75 years and for men aged 20-49 years and 65 years and older, both absolute and relative differences increased. Decomposition of global and regional life expectancy showed the prominent role of reductions in age-standardised death rates for cardiovascular diseases and cancers in high-income regions, and reductions in child deaths from diarrhoea, lower respiratory infections, and neonatal causes in low-income regions. HIV/AIDS reduced life expectancy in southern sub-Saharan Africa. For most communicable causes of death both numbers of deaths and age-standardised death rates fell whereas for most non-communicable causes, demographic shifts have increased numbers of deaths but decreased age-standardised death rates. Global deaths from injury increased by 10.7%, from 4.3 million deaths in 1990 to 4.8 million in 2013; but age-standardised rates declined over the same period by 21%. For some causes of more than 100,000 deaths per year in 2013, age-standardised death rates increased between 1990 and 2013, including HIV/AIDS, pancreatic cancer, atrial fibrillation and flutter, drug use disorders, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and sickle-cell anaemias. Diarrhoeal diseases, lower respiratory infections, neonatal causes, and malaria are still in the top five causes of death in children younger than 5 years. The most important pathogens are rotavirus for diarrhoea and pneumococcus for lower respiratory infections. Country-specific probabilities of death over three phases of life were substantially varied between and within regions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERPRETATION: &lt;/b&gt;For most countries, the general pattern of reductions in age-sex specific mortality has been associated with a progressive shift towards a larger share of the remaining deaths caused by non-communicable disease and injuries. Assessing epidemiological convergence across countries depends on whether an absolute or relative measure of inequality is used. Nevertheless, age-standardised death rates for seven substantial causes are increasing, suggesting the potential for reversals in some countries. Important gaps exist in the empirical data for cause of death estimates for some countries; for example, no national data for India are available for the past decade.&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;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><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 Collaborators</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Global, regional, and national incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for 301 acute and chronic diseases and injuries in 188 countries, 1990-2013: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</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%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Age Distribution</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%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chronic Disease</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cost of Illness</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Developed Countries</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Developing Countries</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Disabled Persons</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Global Health</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%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neglected Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prevalence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Residence Characteristics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sex Distribution</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wounds and Injuries</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 Aug 22</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">386</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">743-800</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;Up-to-date evidence about levels and trends in disease and injury incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) is an essential input into global, regional, and national health policies. In the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013), we estimated these quantities for acute and chronic diseases and injuries for 188 countries between 1990 and 2013.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Estimates were calculated for disease and injury incidence, prevalence, and YLDs using GBD 2010 methods with some important refinements. Results for incidence of acute disorders and prevalence of chronic disorders are new additions to the analysis. Key improvements include expansion to the cause and sequelae list, updated systematic reviews, use of detailed injury codes, improvements to the Bayesian meta-regression method (DisMod-MR), and use of severity splits for various causes. An index of data representativeness, showing data availability, was calculated for each cause and impairment during three periods globally and at the country level for 2013. In total, 35 620 distinct sources of data were used and documented to calculated estimates for 301 diseases and injuries and 2337 sequelae. The comorbidity simulation provides estimates for the number of sequelae, concurrently, by individuals by country, year, age, and sex. Disability weights were updated with the addition of new population-based survey data from four countries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;Disease and injury were highly prevalent; only a small fraction of individuals had no sequelae. Comorbidity rose substantially with age and in absolute terms from 1990 to 2013. Incidence of acute sequelae were predominantly infectious diseases and short-term injuries, with over 2 billion cases of upper respiratory infections and diarrhoeal disease episodes in 2013, with the notable exception of tooth pain due to permanent caries with more than 200 million incident cases in 2013. Conversely, leading chronic sequelae were largely attributable to non-communicable diseases, with prevalence estimates for asymptomatic permanent caries and tension-type headache of 2·4 billion and 1·6 billion, respectively. The distribution of the number of sequelae in populations varied widely across regions, with an expected relation between age and disease prevalence. YLDs for both sexes increased from 537·6 million in 1990 to 764·8 million in 2013 due to population growth and ageing, whereas the age-standardised rate decreased little from 114·87 per 1000 people to 110·31 per 1000 people between 1990 and 2013. Leading causes of YLDs included low back pain and major depressive disorder among the top ten causes of YLDs in every country. YLD rates per person, by major cause groups, indicated the main drivers of increases were due to musculoskeletal, mental, and substance use disorders, neurological disorders, and chronic respiratory diseases; however HIV/AIDS was a notable driver of increasing YLDs in sub-Saharan Africa. Also, the proportion of disability-adjusted life years due to YLDs increased globally from 21·1% in 1990 to 31·2% in 2013.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;INTERPRETATION: &lt;/b&gt;Ageing of the world's population is leading to a substantial increase in the numbers of individuals with sequelae of diseases and injuries. Rates of YLDs are declining much more slowly than mortality rates. The non-fatal dimensions of disease and injury will require more and more attention from health systems. The transition to non-fatal outcomes as the dominant source of burden of disease is occurring rapidly outside of sub-Saharan Africa. Our results can guide future health initiatives through examination of epidemiological trends and a better understanding of variation across countries.&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%">9995</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26063472?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cuzzoni, Eva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Iudicibus, Sara</style></author><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%">Lucafò, Marianna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pelin, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Favretto, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pasini, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montini, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decorti, Giuliana</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Glucocorticoid pharmacogenetics in pediatric idiopathic nephrotic syndrome.</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><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%">16</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1631-48</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome represents the most common type of primary glomerular disease in children: glucocorticoids (GCs) are the first-line therapy, even if considerable interindividual differences in thepir efficacy and side effects have been reported. Immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory effects of these drugs are mainly due to the GC-mediated transcription regulation of pro- and anti-inflammatory genes. This mechanism of action is the result of a complex multistep pathway that involves the glucocorticoid receptor and several other proteins, encoded by polymorphic genes. Aim of this review is to highlight the current knowledge on genetic variants that could affect GC response, particularly focusing on children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26419298?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moura, Ronald</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tricarico, Paola Maura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campos Coelho, Antonio Victor</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%">GRID2 a novel gene possibly associated with mevalonate kinase deficiency.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rheumatol Int</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rheumatol.

The genotype-phenotype correlation is sometimes problematic due to the great genetic and clinical heterogeneity; so we hypothesize that genes other than MVK are able to modulate MKD clinical phenotypes. This hypothesis was tested by analyzing the exome of 22 patients with MKD all carrying MVK gene mutations, and 20 patients with recurrent fevers (RF) not carrying MVK mutations. Our preliminary findings suggest a possible role of GRID2 in the susceptibility to develop MKD. GRID2 gene (4q22.2), encoding for human glutamate receptor delta-2, associated with MKD: The rs1450500 SNP was differently distributed in patients with MKD with respect to those with RF. Being aware of the small number of patients analyzed, we hypothesized a possible role for GRID2 as possible phenotype modifier in MKD patients, especially in those with severe phenotypes.&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/25146332?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Catamo, Eulalia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zupin, Luisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, Ludovica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celsi, Fulvio</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%">HLA-G and susceptibility to develop celiac disease.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum.

In our study we analyzed HLA-G polymorphisms in order to evaluate their possible association with susceptibility to celiac disease development. A total of 420 celiac patients and 509 controls were genotyped for HLA-G polymorphisms. We sequenced 800bp upstream the ATG codon (5' upstream regulatory region) and the whole 3' untranslated region of the HLA-G gene, whereas the ΔC deletion at exon 3 was detected by RFLP-PCR. Five polymorphisms (namely -477 C&gt;G, -369 C&gt;A, 14bp del/ins, 3187 A&gt;G, 3196 C&gt;G) and one haplotype (TCGGTACGAAITCCCGAG) were significantly more frequent in celiac patients than controls and associated with increased disease susceptibility. The 14bp I/I, 3187 G/G, 3196 G/G genotypes and TCGGTACGAAITCCCGAG haplotype, were still significantly associated with increased disease susceptibility (and in addition also the 3003 C/C genotype) when the analysis was restricted to patients and controls presenting the DQ2.5 or DQ8 HLA-DQ celiac disease risk haplotypes. Our findings indicate an association between HLA-G gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to celiac disease development, suggesting that HLA-G molecule is possibly involved in the pathogenesis 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/25500250?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Sonego, Michela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pellegrin, Maria Chiara</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hypoxaemia as a Mortality Risk Factor in Acute Lower Respiratory Infections in Children in Low and Middle-Income Countries: Systematic Review and Meta-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><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%">e0136166</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 association between hypoxaemia and mortality from acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) in children in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;Systematic review and meta-analysis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;STUDY SELECTION: &lt;/b&gt;Observational studies reporting on the association between hypoxaemia and death from ALRI in children below five years in LMIC.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DATA SOURCES: &lt;/b&gt;Medline, Embase, Global Health Library, Lilacs, and Web of Science to February 2015.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RISK OF BIAS ASSESSMENT: &lt;/b&gt;Quality In Prognosis Studies tool with minor adaptations to assess the risk of bias; funnel plots and Egger's test to evaluate publication bias.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Out of 11,627 papers retrieved, 18 studies from 13 countries on 20,224 children met the inclusion criteria. Twelve (66.6%) studies had either low or moderate risk of bias. Hypoxaemia defined as oxygen saturation rate (SpO2) &lt;90% associated with significantly increased odds of death from ALRI (OR 5.47, 95% CI 3.93 to 7.63) in 12 studies on 13,936 children. An Sp02 &lt;92% associated with a similar increased risk of mortality (OR 3.66, 95% CI 1.42 to 9.47) in 3 studies on 673 children. Sensitivity analyses (excluding studies with high risk of bias and using adjusted OR) and subgroup analyses (by: altitude, definition of ALRI, country income, HIV prevalence) did not affect results. Only one study was performed on children living at high altitude.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The results of this review support the routine evaluation of SpO2 for identifying children with ALRI at increased risk of death. Both a Sp02 value of 92% and 90% equally identify children at increased risk of mortality. More research is needed on children living at high altitude. Policy makers in LMIC should aim at improving the regular use of pulse oximetry and the availability of oxygen in order to decrease mortality from ALRI.&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/26372640?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Chiurco, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montico, Marcella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brovedani, Pierpaolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Davanzo, Riccardo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">An IBCLC in the Maternity Ward of a Mother and Child Hospital: A Pre- and Post-Intervention Study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Environ Res Public Health</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Environ Res Public Health</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</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9938-51</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Published evidence on the impact of the integration of International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) for breastfeeding promotion is growing, but still relatively limited.

We conducted a prospective study in the maternity ward of our maternal and child health Institute, recruiting 402 mothers of healthy term newborns soon after birth. The 18-month intervention of the IBCLC (Phase II) was preceded (Phase I) by data collection on breastfeeding rates and factors related to breastfeeding, both at hospital discharge and two weeks later. Data collection was replicated just before the end of the intervention (Phase III). In Phase III, a significantly higher percentage of mothers: (a) received help to breastfeed, and also received correct information on breastfeeding and community support, (b) started breastfeeding within two hours from delivery, (c) reported a good experience with the hospital staff. Moreover, the frequency of sore and/or cracked nipples was significantly lower in Phase III.

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%">Polesello, Vania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zupin, Luisa</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%">Ottaviani, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gobbo, Margherita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cecco, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberi, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pozzato, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, Ludovica</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Impact of DEFB1 gene regulatory polymorphisms on hBD-1 salivary concentration.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch Oral Biol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch.

Individual genetic variations within the DEFB1 gene, encoding for hBD-1, could influence gene expression and protein production.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;Three DEFB1 polymorphisms at 5' untranslated region (UTR), -52G &gt; A (rs1799946), -44C &gt; G (rs1800972) and -20G &gt; A (rs11362), and two polymorphisms at DEFB1 3' UTR, c*5G &gt; A (rs1047031) and c*87A &gt; G (rs1800971), were analysed by direct sequencing and correlated with hDB-1 salivary concentration (tested with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)) in 40 healthy subjects.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Significant associations were found between individuals presenting different DEFB1 polymorphisms at positions -52 and -44 of the gene and hBD-1 salivary concentrations: -52 G/G carriers had higher levels of protein than G/A and A/A; -44C/G subjects showed a higher protein concentration than homozygous wild-type C/C. For the -20G &gt; A, c*5G &gt; A and c*87A &gt; G polymorphisms, no statistically significant differences were found. Combined haplotype analysis confirmed the results obtained considering the single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) singularly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Polymorphisms in the DEFB1 gene influence hBD-1 production and, therefore, could modify the innate immune system responses and, consequently, the oral health.&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/25939140?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">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%">Impact of Surgery for Neonatal Gastrointestinal Diseases on Weight and Fat Mass.</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.

All surgical infants but 1 (20/21) received parenteral nutrition (PN). Mean PN duration was 40 (30) days. Five infants in the control group received PN because of prematurity for 15 (9-30) days. Nine infants in the surgical group and 1 in the control group had PN-associated cholestasis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Neonates having surgery for gastrointestinal diseases were shorter, had lower weight, and lower FM content than their peers, despite receiving more PN.

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%">Mezzavilla, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vozzi, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Badii, Ramin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alkowari, Moza Khalifa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Abdulhadi, Khalid</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girotto, Giorgia</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%">Increased rate of deleterious variants in long runs of homozygosity of an inbred population from Qatar.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum Hered</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum.

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%">Zupin, Luisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Catamo, Eulalia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polesello, Vania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, Ludovica</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Interleukin-18 gene promoter polymorphisms and celiac disease in Italian patients.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Biol Rep</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol.

Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that has an important role in the immune defense and it has the potential to influence inflammatory disorders. IL-18 is able to promote Th1 cell development and it is expressed in the mucosa of the small intestine in celiac patients. Given the IL-18 biological role, and since a few studies have previously suggested its involvement in CD, in order to investigate the role of IL18 gene in the susceptibility to CD we have performed a case-control study, analyzing two IL18 gene promoter polymorphisms, previously reported to impair the transcriptional activity of the gene, (-137G &gt; C and -607C &gt; A, rs187238 and rs1946518 respectively). A total of 556 CD Italian patients and 582 controls, further stratified for HLA class II (DQ) CD risk haplotypes were enrolled. The -607A &gt; C A allele and A/A genotype, as well as the combination of this allele with the -137G allele in the AG haplotype, were associated with an increased risk towards CD development, in particular in HLA-DQ2.2 patients. Although the association was very moderate, our results indicate the possible involvement of IL18 gene in the susceptibility to CD, and for this reason we do think it should deserve further investigation.&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/25374428?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Angelo, H D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gomes Silva, I I F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oliveira, R D R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Louzada-Júnior, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Donadi, E A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maia, M M D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Souza, P R E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandrin-Garcia, P</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Interleukin-18, interleukin-12B and interferon-γ gene polymorphisms in Brazilian patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a pilot study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tissue Antigens</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tissue Antigens</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 Oct</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">86</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">276-8</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Polymorphisms in interleukin (IL)-18, IL-12 and interferon (IFN)-γ genes are associated with different levels of cytokines expression and have been associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

In light of its documented positive effect on maternal behavior, we designed a study to ascertain whether oxytocin exerts any therapeutic effects on depressive symptoms in women affected by maternal postnatal depression. A group of 16 mothers were recruited in a randomized double-blind study: the women agreed to take part in a brief course of psychoanalytic psychotherapy (12 sessions, once a week) while also being administered, during the 12-weeks period, a daily dose of intranasal oxytocin (or a placebo). The pre-treatment evaluation also included a personality assessment of the major primary-process emotional command systems described by Panksepp () and a semi-quantitative assessment by the therapist of the mother's depressive symptoms and of her personality. No significant effect on depressive symptomatology was found following the administration of oxytocin (as compared to a placebo) during the period of psychotherapy. Nevertheless, a personality trait evaluation of the mothers, conducted in our overall sample group, showed a decrease in the narcissistic trait only within the group who took oxytocin. The depressive (dysphoric) trait was in fact significantly affected by psychotherapy (this effect was only present in the placebo group so it may reflect a positive placebo effect enhancing the favorable influence of psychotherapy on depressive symptoms) but not in the presence of oxytocin. Therefore, the neuropeptide would appear to play some role in the modulation of cerebral functions involved in the self-centered (narcissistic) dimension of the suffering that can occur with postnatal depression. Based on these results, there was support for our hypothesis that what is generally defined as postnatal depression may include disturbances of narcissistic affective balance, and oxytocin supplementation can counteract that type of affective disturbance. The resulting improvements in well-being, reflected in better self-centering in post-partuent mothers, may in turn facilitate better interpersonal acceptance of (and interactions with) the child and thereby, improved recognition of the child's needs.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25941501?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piccoli, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Seta, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parolin, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Banco, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Camacho Mattos, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bogatti, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberico, S</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Intrapartum fetal heart rate monitoring interpretation in labour: a critical appraisal.</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><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 Feb</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">67</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">65-79</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) has been introduced in the obstetrics practice as a test to identify the first signs of fetal deterioration, allowing a prompt intervention to reduce neonatal morbidity and mortality. However, results from clinical trials fail to demonstrate a clear benefit with the use of EFM. No decrease in the incidence of cerebral palsy due to intrapartum asphyxia has been achieved and a significant increase in the rate of operative deliveries and in medico-legal litigations has been observed instead. Despite the lack of evidence supporting its safety and effectiveness, this method is routinely used in the clinical practice and periodical updated guidelines to standardize the method of interpretation and proper actions are proposed. However, limitations still exist and the unavoidable consequences are the increasing rate of caesarean delivery, partly due to a defensive attitude in medical choices, and medico-legal litigations for presumed inappropriate evaluation in case of perinatal adverse event. While Obstetrics Societies are trying to &quot;fight&quot; the rise in caesarean section rates, intrapartum EFM tracings are taken in the court proceedings as one of the main evidences in case of adverse event. The aim of this review is to discuss the limitations of guidelines dealing with intrapartum EFM and the pathophysiological basis to assess the suspicious tracings which represent the most observed and critical issue of EFM interpretation.&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/25411863?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ayub, Qasim</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%">Haber, Marc</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mohyuddin, Aisha</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Khaliq, Shagufta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mehdi, Syed Qasim</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tyler-Smith, Chris</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The Kalash genetic isolate: ancient divergence, drift, and selection.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Hum Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am.

Previous Y chromosome and mitochondrial DNA markers provided no support for their claimed Greek descent following Alexander III of Macedon's invasion of this region, and analysis of autosomal loci provided evidence of a strong genetic bottleneck. To understand their origins and demography further, we genotyped 23 unrelated Kalash samples on the Illumina HumanOmni2.5M-8 BeadChip and sequenced one male individual at high coverage on an Illumina HiSeq 2000. Comparison with published data from ancient hunter-gatherers and European farmers showed that the Kalash share genetic drift with the Paleolithic Siberian hunter-gatherers and might represent an extremely drifted ancient northern Eurasian population that also contributed to European and Near Eastern ancestry. Since the split from other South Asian populations, the Kalash have maintained a low long-term effective population size (2,319-2,603) and experienced no detectable gene flow from their geographic neighbors in Pakistan or from other extant Eurasian populations. The mean time of divergence between the Kalash and other populations currently residing in this region was estimated to be 11,800 (95% confidence interval = 10,600-12,600) years ago, and thus they represent present-day descendants of some of the earliest migrants into the Indian sub-continent from West Asia.&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/25937445?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25663823?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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, Luisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polesello, Vania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coelho, Antônio Victor Campos</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boniotto, Michele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arraes, Luiz Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, Ludovica</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%">Lactotransferrin gene functional polymorphisms do not influence susceptibility to human immunodeficiency virus-1 mother-to-child transmission in different ethnic groups.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mem.

Timing of orchiopexy is still a matter of debate. We evaluated the growth of nonpalpable testes after laparoscopic orchiopexy according to age at surgery, intraoperative findings and type of procedure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Forty-one boys undergoing laparoscopy for nonpalpable testes were retrospectively reviewed and divided into two groups, ≤ 18 months and &gt; 18 months, according to their age at surgery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;At follow-up, 14 testes in the younger group had normal size, while 3 atrophied either after single (2) or two stage procedure (1). Similarly, in older boys 11 testes grew normally, while 5 atrophied after both procedures.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Most of the nonpalpable testes grew normally after laparoscopic orchiopexy and the postoperative volume seemed independent from the surgical strategy. Both techniques led to a few cases of testicular hypotrophy In our experience, the age at surgery did not affect the outcome in terms of testicular growth.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style

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%">Benelli, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bruno, Irene</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Belcaro, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berti, Irene</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Legius syndrome: case report and review of literature.</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%">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;A 8-month-old child was referred to our Dermatologic Unit for suspected Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF 1), because of the appearance, since few days after birth, of numerous café-au-lait spots (seven larger than 5 mm); no other sign evocative of NF 1 was found. Her family history was remarkable for the presence of multiple café-au-lait spots in the mother, the grandfather and two aunts. The family had been already examined for NF 1, but no sign evocative of the disease was found. We then suspected Legius syndrome, a dominant disease characterized by a mild neurofibromatosis 1 phenotype. The diagnosis was confirmed by the finding of a mutation in SPRED1 gene, a feedback regulator of RAS/MAPK signaling. Here, we discuss the differential diagnosis of cafè-au-lait spots and we briefly review the existing literature about Legius syndrome.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25883013?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Muzzi, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Battelino, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gregori, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pellegrin, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Orzan, E</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Life-threatening unilateral hearing impairments.

Early identification of the specific type of cochleovestibular dysplasia and the associated risk of meningitis is of vital importance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVES: &lt;/b&gt;The objective of this review is to collect and discuss available data on the association between inner ear malformations and meningitis in children.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Electronic databases were crosschecked for obtaining relevant papers published in the last 20 years, and further cases were identified by hand searching through the references. Demographic data were extracted from full texts, together with information on the severity of hearing impairment, the type of inner ear anomaly, the site of cerebrospinal fluid leak, the number of recurrent meningitis episodes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Sixty-seven cases of meningitis related to inner ear malformation have been identified among 45 papers. Mean age at presentation is 3.60±3.00 (range 0.1-14) years. Average diagnostic delay from the first episode of meningitis is 3.44±3.41 (range 0.00-10.00) years. The number of meningitis episodes that occurred before the correct diagnosis and definitive surgical treatment is 3.27±1.81 (range 1.00-10.00). Unilateral hearing impairment affects 70% of patients. Six patients had normal hearing at presentation. Two children are dead from inner-ear-malformation-related meningitis among reviewed reports.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;A high number of paediatric patients carrying inner ear malformations, especially when associated with unilateral hearing impairment, could be at risk to develop recurrent bacterial meningitis. Universal newborn hearing screening programs should prompt a diagnostic work-up even in the case of unilateral hearing impairment, in order to prevent inner ear malformation-related meningitis.&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/26453271?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lucafo, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Iudicibus, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Silvestre, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pelin, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Candussio, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelossi, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piscianz, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decorti, G</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Long noncoding RNA GAS5: a novel marker involved in glucocorticoid response.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr Mol Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr.

A negative feedback mechanism resulting in GR autoregulation has been demonstrated through the binding of the activated receptor to intragenic sequences called GRE-like elements, contained in GR gene. The long noncoding RNA growth arrest-specific transcript 5 (GAS5) interacts with the activated GR suppressing its transcriptional activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible role of GAS5 and NR3C1 gene expression in the antiproliferative effect of methylprednisolone in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and to correlate the expression with individual sensitivity to GCs. Subjects being poor responders to GCs presented higher levels of GAS5 and NR3C1 in comparison with good responders. We suggest that abnormal levels of GAS5 may alter GC effectiveness, probably interfering with the mechanism of GR autoregulation.&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/25601472?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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 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%">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%">Travan, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inglese, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brovedani, Pierpaolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crocetta, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calligaris, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corubolo, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dussich, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Verardi, Giuseppa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Causin, Enrica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kennedy, Jaquelyn</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marrazzo, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Strajn, Tamara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sanesi, Cecilia</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%">Making the first days of life safer: preventing sudden unexpected postnatal collapse while promoting breastfeeding.</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><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 Feb</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">31</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">47-52</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Early and prolonged skin-to-skin contact (SSC) after birth between a mother and her newborn has been shown to generate beneficial effects on the mother-infant relationship and breastfeeding. Close mother-infant body contact immediately after birth positively enhances exclusive breastfeeding during the hospital stay, with a dose-response relationship. Skin-to-skin contact may ease the infant's transition to extra-uterine life and helps regulate the infant's body temperature and nursing behavior. However, reports of sudden unexpected postnatal collapse (SUPC) soon after birth, in healthy term neonates, in association with SSC, have raised concerns about the safety of this practice. Based on available evidence, we developed a surveillance protocol in the delivery room and postnatal ward of the Institute for Maternal and Child Health of Trieste (Italy). The aim of our protocol is (a) to promote safe mother and infant bonding and (b) to establish successful breastfeeding, without increasing the risk of SUPC. As there is no known effective intervention to prevent SUPC, our protocol has been conceived as a potential best practice.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default"

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" font="default" size="100%">7</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25631333?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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, Luisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polesello, Vania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Casalicchio, Giorgia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Freato, Nadia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maestri, Iva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comar, Manola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, Ludovica</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MBL2 polymorphisms in women with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance.</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.

HPV induces different grades of lesions: among them, Atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance are abnormal lesions that could evolve in pre-cancer lesions or spontaneously regress. The mannose binding lectin (MBL) is an innate immunity serum protein also found in cervico-vaginal mucosa, whose expression is known to be affected by polymorphisms in exon 1 and promoter of the MBL2 gene. In the present study the possible association between MBL2 functional polymorphisms and susceptibility to develop atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance was investigated in a group of women from North-East of Italy, stratified for HPV infection status. The MBL2 D and O alleles and the deficient producer combined genotypes, responsible for low MBL production, were more represented among atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance positive women than healthy controls and the results were confirmed when only HPV negative samples were considered. These results suggest a possible involvement of MBL2 functional polymorphisms in atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance susceptibility.&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/25693844?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girardi, Damiano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Falco, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Carlo, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benevene, Paula</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comar, Manola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tongiorgi, Enrico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bartolucci, Giovanni Battista</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The mediating role of interpersonal conflict at work in the relationship between negative affectivity and biomarkers of stress.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Behav Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Behav Med</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 Dec</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">38</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">922-31</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;This study examined the association between interpersonal conflict at work (ICW) and serum levels of three possible biomarkers of stress, namely the pro-inflammatory cytokines Interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), Interleukin 12 (IL-12), and Interleukin 17 (IL-17). Additionally, this study investigated the role of negative affectivity (NA) in the relationship between ICW and the pro-inflammatory cytokines. Data from 121 employees in an Italian healthcare organization were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results showed that ICW was positively associated with IL-1β, IL-12, and IL-17, after controlling for the effect of gender. Moreover, ICW completely mediated the relationship between NA and the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-12, and IL-17. This mediating effect was significant after controlling for the effect of gender. Overall, this study suggests that work-related stress may be associated with biomarkers of inflammation, and that negative affectivity may influence the stress process affecting the exposure to psychosocial stressors.&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/26186953?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coelho, Antônio Victor Campos</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Moura, Ronald Rodrigues</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">da Silva, Ronaldo Celerino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kamada, Anselmo Jiro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guimarães, Rafael Lima</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brandão, Lucas André Cavalcanti</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coelho, Hemílio Fernandes Campos</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%">Meta-analysis and time series modeling allow a systematic review of primary HIV-1 drug-resistant prevalence in Latin America and Caribbean.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr HIV Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr.

We also discuss whether there could be a drawback to HIV/AIDS programs due to drug resistance in Latin America and Caribbean in the next years. We observed that, although some studies report low or moderate primary drug resistance prevalence in Caribbean countries, this evidence needs to be updated. In other countries, such as Brazil and Argentina, the prevalence of drug resistance appears to be rising. Mutations conferring resistance against reverse transcriptase inhibitors were the most frequent in the analyzed populations (70% of all mutational events). HIV-1 subtype B was the most prevalent in Latin America and the Caribbean, although subtype C and B/F recombinants have significant contributions in Argentina and Brazil. Thus, we suggest that primary drug resistance in Latin America and the Caribbean could have been underestimated. Clinical monitoring should be improved to offer better therapy, reducing the risk for HIV-1 resistance emergence and spread, principally in vulnerable populations, such as men who have sex with men transmission group, sex workers and intravenous drug users.&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/25777517?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moura, Ronald Rodrigues de</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coelho, Antônio Victor Campos</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Balbino, Valdir de Queiroz</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brandão, Lucas André Cavalcanti</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meta-analysis of Brazilian genetic admixture and comparison with other Latin America countries.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Hum Biol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am.

Then, conducted meta-analyses at the whole-country and regional level. Finally, we compared the results of Brazil with other estimates from other South, Central and North American countries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;We analyzed data from 25 studies in 38 different Brazilian populations. European (EUR) ancestry is the major contributor to the genetic background of Brazilians, followed by African (AFR), and Amerindian (AMR) ancestries. The pooled ancestry contributions were 0.62 EUR, 0.21 AFR, and 0.17AMR. The Southern region had a greater EUR contribution (0.77) than other regions. Individuals from the Northeast (NE) region had the highest AFR contribution (0.27) whereas individuals from the North regions had more AMR contribution (0.32). In the Latin America context, Brazil has the 5th high EUR contribution, the 12th for the AFR component and the 10th for the AMR ancestry.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Admixture proportions vary greatly among Brazilian populations and also through Latin America.

In these patients, some authors have previously described iron cortical deposition in the kidney. We here report the first case in the literature of a girl affected by SCD showing an anomalous metal and rare element retention in the renal cortex.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CASE PRESENTATION: &lt;/b&gt;A 10-year-old white girl affected by SCD underwent a routine magnetic resonance imaging investigation that evidenced a reduced signal intensity in the renal cortex, compatible with hemosiderin precipitation. Histologic and elemental analyses of the hepatic and the renal biotic samples, performed with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, revealed that concomitant with the high iron deposition, toxic and potentially carcinogenic elements such as nickel, magnesium, rubidium, and gadolinuim were anomalously retained particularly in the kidney.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The finding of rare and toxic elements in the kidney of SCD patients might be linked to the development of specific neoplastic transformations already described in this patient cohort. To be confirmed, our speculations need to be demonstrated in large sampling of 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/25811747?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">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%">Mevalonate Pathway Blockade, Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Autophagy: A Possible Link.</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%">16067-84</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 mevalonate pathway, crucial for cholesterol synthesis, plays a key role in multiple cellular processes. Deregulation of this pathway is also correlated with diminished protein prenylation, an important post-translational modification necessary to localize certain proteins, such as small GTPases, to membranes. Mevalonate pathway blockade has been linked to mitochondrial dysfunction: especially involving lower mitochondrial membrane potential and increased release of pro-apoptotic factors in cytosol. Furthermore a severe reduction of protein prenylation has also been associated with defective autophagy, possibly causing inflammasome activation and subsequent cell death. So, it is tempting to hypothesize a mechanism in which defective autophagy fails to remove damaged mitochondria, resulting in increased cell death. This mechanism could play a significant role in Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency, an autoinflammatory disease characterized by a defect in Mevalonate Kinase, a key enzyme of the mevalonate pathway. Patients carrying mutations in the MVK gene, encoding this enzyme, show increased inflammation and lower protein prenylation levels. This review aims at analysing the correlation between mevalonate pathway defects, mitochondrial dysfunction and defective autophagy, as well as inflammation, using Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency as a model to clarify the current pathogenetic hypothesis as the basis of the disease.&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/26184189?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Piscianz, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kleiner, Giulio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Microglia activation and interaction with neuronal cells in a biochemical model of mevalonate kinase deficiency.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Apoptosis</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Apoptosis</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</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">20</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1048-55</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Mevalonate kinase deficiency is a rare disease whose worst manifestation, characterised by severe neurologic impairment, is called mevalonic aciduria. The progressive neuronal loss associated to cell death can be studied in vitro with a simplified model based on a biochemical block of the mevalonate pathway and a subsequent inflammatory trigger. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the mevalonate blocking on glial cells (BV-2) and the following effects on neuronal cells (SH-SY5Y) when the two populations were cultured together. To better understand the cross-talk between glial and neuronal cells, as it happens in vivo, BV-2 and SH-SY5Y were co-cultured in different experimental settings (alone, transwell, direct contact); the effect of mevalonate pathway biochemical block by Lovastatin, followed by LPS inflammatory trigger, were evaluated by analysing programmed cell death and mitochondrial membrane potential, cytokines' release and cells' morphology modifications. In this experimental condition, glial cells underwent an evident activation, confirmed by elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines release, typical of these disorders, and a modification in morphology. Moreover, the activation induced an increase in apoptosis. When glial cells were co-cultured with neurons, their activation caused an increase of programmed cell death also in neuronal cells, but only if the two populations were cultured in direct contact. Our findings, being aware of the limitations related to the cell models used, represent a preliminary step towards understanding the pathological and neuroinflammatory mechanisms occurring in mevalonate kinase diseases. Contact co-culture between neuronal and microglial cells seems to be a good model to study mevalonic aciduria in vitro, and to contribute to the identification of potential drugs able to block microglial activation for this orphan disease. In fact, in such a pathological condition, we demonstrated that microglial cells are activated and contribute to neuronal cell death. We can thus hypothesise that the use of microglial activation blockers could prevent this additional neuronal death.&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/26003816?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boding, Lasse</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hansen, Ann K</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meroni, Germana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Levring, Trine B</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Woetmann, Anders</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ødum, Niels</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bonefeld, Charlotte M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Geisler, Carsten</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MID2 can substitute for MID1 and control exocytosis of lytic granules in cytotoxic T cells.</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%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cytoplasmic Granules</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Exocytosis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Interferon-gamma</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%">Microtubule-Associated Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">T-Lymphocytes, Cytotoxic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transcription Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Up-Regulation</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%">123</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">682-7</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;We have recently shown that the E3 ubiquitin ligase midline 1 (MID1) is upregulated in murine cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTL), where it controls exocytosis of lytic granules and the killing capacity. Accordingly, CTL from MID1 knock-out (MID1(-/-)) mice have a 25-30% reduction in exocytosis of lytic granules and cytotoxicity compared to CTL from wild-type (WT) mice. We wondered why the MID1 gene knock-out did not affect exocytosis and cytotoxicity more severely and speculated whether MID2, a close homologue of MID1, might partially compensate for the loss of MID1 in MID1(-/-) CTL. Here, we showed that MID2, like MID1, is upregulated in activated murine T cells. Furthermore, MID1(-/-) CTL upregulated MID2 two-twenty-fold stronger than CTL from WT mice, suggesting that MID2 might compensate for MID1. In agreement, transfection of MID2 into MID1(-/-) CTL completely rescued exocytosis of lytic granules in MID1(-/-) CTL, and vice versa, knock-down of MID2 inhibited exocytosis of lytic granules in both WT and MID1(-/-) CTL, demonstrating that both MID1 and MID2 play a central role in the regulation of granule exocytosis and that functional redundancy exists between MID1 and MID2 in CTL.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

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%">Savoia, A</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molecular basis of inherited thrombocytopenias.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin.

Resolving the true effect has implications for understanding the maternal age effect on aneuploidies. Here, we revisit this question in the largest sample to date using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-chip data, comprising over 6,000 meioses from nine cohorts. We develop and fit a hierarchical model to allow for differences between cohorts and between mothers. We estimate that over 10 years, the expected number of maternal crossovers increases by 2.1% (95% credible interval (0.98%, 3.3%)). Our results are not consistent with the larger positive and negative effects previously reported in smaller cohorts. We see heterogeneity between cohorts that is likely due to chance effects in smaller samples, or possibly to confounders, emphasizing that care should be taken when interpreting results from any specific cohort about the effect of maternal age on recombination.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26242864?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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, D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soranzo, N</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iotchkova, V</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MultiMeta: an R package for meta-analyzing multi-phenotype genome-wide association studies.</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><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 Aug 15</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">31</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2754-6</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;UNLABELLED: &lt;/b&gt;As new methods for multivariate analysis of genome wide association studies become available, it is important to be able to combine results from different cohorts in a meta-analysis.

Poor performance in tasks requiring temporal processing, rhythm perception and sensorimotor synchronization seems to be a crucial factor underlying dyslexia in children. Interestingly, children with dyslexia show deficits in temporal processing, both in language and in music. Within this framework, we test the hypothesis that music training, by improving temporal processing and rhythm abilities, improves phonological awareness and reading skills in children with dyslexia. The study is a prospective, multicenter, open randomized controlled trial, consisting of test, rehabilitation and re-test (ID NCT02316873). After rehabilitation, the music group (N = 24) performed better than the control group (N = 22) in tasks assessing rhythmic abilities, phonological awareness and reading skills. This is the first randomized control trial testing the effect of music training in enhancing phonological and reading abilities in children with dyslexia. The findings show that music training can modify reading and phonological abilities even when these skills are severely impaired. Through the enhancement of temporal processing and rhythmic skills, music might become an important tool in both remediation and early intervention programs.Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02316873&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/26407242?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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.

We conducted a nationwide survey to characterize the frequency, clinical features, glycosylation and genetic correlates in Italian patients with PMM2-CDG. Clinical information was obtained through a questionnaire filled in by the referral physicians including demographics, neurological and systemic features, neuroimaging data and genotype. Glycosylation analyses of serum transferrin were complemented by MALDI-Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-MS). Between 1996 and 2012, data on 37 Italian patients with PMM2-CDG were collected. All the patients with a severe phenotype were unable to walk unaided, 84 % had severe intellectual disability and 81 % microcephaly. Conversely, among 17 mildly affected patients 82 % had independent ambulation, 64 % had borderline to mild intellectual disability and 35 % microcephaly. Epilepsy and stroke-like events did not occur among patients with the mild phenotype. The rate and extent of systemic involvement were more pronounced in severely affected patients. The L32R misfolding mutation of the PMM2 gene occurred in 70 % of the patients with the mild phenotype and was associated with a less severe underglycosylation of serum Tf at MALDI-MS analyses. Despite their different disease severity, all patients had progressive (olivo)ponto-cerebellar atrophy that was the hallmark clinical feature for the diagnosis. A mild neurological phenotype of PMM2-CDG marked by preserved ambulatory ability and autonomy and associated with L32R mutation is particularly frequent in Italy. PMM2-CDG should be considered in patients with even mild developmental disability and/or unexplained progressive cerebellar atrophy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal"

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%">Zullino, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Martino, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stampalija, Tamara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrazzi, Enrico</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">New lenses to look at preeclampsia.</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.

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%">Borelli, Violetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moura, Ronal R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trevisan, Elisa</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%">NLRP1 and NLRP3 polymorphisms in mesothelioma patients and asbestos exposed individuals a population-based autopsy study from North East Italy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infect Agent Cancer</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infect.

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%">Simioni, Carolina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cani, Alice</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelli, Alberto M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zauli, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alameen, Ayman A M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ultimo, Simona</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tabellini, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">McCubrey, James A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Capitani, Silvano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neri, Luca M</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The novel dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor NVP-BGT226 displays cytotoxic activity in both normoxic and hypoxic hepatocarcinoma cells.</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><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 Jul 10</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">17147-60</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common lethal human malignancies worldwide and its advanced status is frequently resistant to conventional chemotherapeutic agents and radiation. We evaluated the cytotoxic effect of the orally bioavailable dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor, NVP-BGT226, on a panel of HCC cell lines, since hyperactivated PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway could represent a biomolecular target for Small Inhibitor Molecules in this neoplasia. We analyzed the drug activity in both normoxia and hypoxia conditions, the latter playing often a relevant role in the induction of chemoresistance and angiogenesis.In normoxia NVP-BGT226 caused cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle, induced apoptosis and autophagy at low concentrations. Interestingly the drug inactivated p-Akt and p-S6 at &lt; 10 nM concentration.In hypoxia NVP-BGT226 maintained its cytotoxic efficacy at the same concentration as documented by MTT assays and Western blot analysis. Moreover, the drug showed in hypoxia inhibitory properties against angiogenesis by lowering the expression of the transcription factor HIF-1α and of VEGF.Our results indicate that NVP-BGT226 has a potent cytotoxic effect on HCC cell lines also in hypoxia condition, thus emerging as a potential candidate for cancer treatment in HCC targeted therapy.&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/26003166?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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?

Lip swelling and facial swelling are the most common clinical signs. Despite the fact that histologically it is not distinguishable from Crohn's disease, and that both diseases have a chronic/recurrent course, the relationship between orofacial granulomatosis and Crohn's disease is still debated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Herein we present five cases of orofacial granulomatosis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;All patients presented concomitant Crohn's disease, supporting the hypothesis that orofacial granulomatosis and Crohn's disease may be one single disease. Thalidomide was effective in inducing remission of oral and intestinal symptoms in all five cases and could be considered a valid treatment opportunity for these patients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Orofacial granulomatosis and Crohn's disease may be part of the same disease; both may respond to thalidomide.&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/25618553?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Brovedani, Pierpaolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cont, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Travan, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grassi, Veronica</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%">Pain activates a defined area of the somatosensory and motor cortex in newborn infants.</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</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">104</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e530-3</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><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/26174848?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Lanzi, Gaetana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Yue, Fengming</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giliani, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sasaki, Katsunori</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pelin, Marco</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></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patients' Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells to Model Drug Induced Adverse Events: A Role in Predicting Thiopurine Induced Pancreatitis?</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.

Under adequate growth conditions and stimulation iPSC can differentiate to almost every somatic lineage in the body. Patients' derived iPSC are an innovative model to study mechanisms of adverse drug reactions in individual patients and in cell types that cannot be easily obtained from human subjects. Proof-of concept studies with known toxicants have been performed for liver, cardiovascular and central nervous system cells: neurons obtained from iPSC have been used to elucidate the mechanism of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy by evaluating the effects of neurotoxic drugs such as vincristine. However, no study has been performed yet on pancreatic tissue and drug induced pancreatitis. Thiopurines (azathioprine and mercaptopurine) are immunosuppressive antimetabolite drugs, commonly used to treat Crohn's disease. About 5% of Crohn's disease patients treated with thiopurines develop pancreatitis, a severe idiosyncratic adverse event; these patients have to stop thiopurine administration and may require medical treatment, with significant personal and social costs. Molecular mechanism of thiopurine induced pancreatitis (TIP) is currently unknown and no fully validated biomarker is available to assist clinicians in preventing this adverse event. Hence, in this review we have reflected upon the probable research applications of exocrine pancreatic cells generated from patient specific iPS cells. Such pancreatic cells can provide excellent insights into the molecular mechanism of TIP. In particular three hypotheses on the mechanism of TIP could be explored: drug biotransformation, innate immunity and adaptative immunity.&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/26526832?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zonta, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girotto, Giorgia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Buratto, Damiano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crispino, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morgan, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Abdulhadi, Khalid</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alkowari, Moza</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Badii, Ramin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</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%">The p.Cys169Tyr variant of connexin 26 is not a polymorphism.</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.

Here, the p.Cys169Tyr missense mutation of Cx26 (Cx26C169Y), previously classified as a polymorphism, has been identified as causative of severe hearing loss in two Qatari families. We have analyzed the effect of this mutation using a combination of confocal immunofluorescence microscopy and molecular dynamics simulations. At the cellular level, our results show that the mutant protein fails to form junctional channels in HeLa transfectants despite being correctly targeted to the plasma membrane. At the molecular level, this effect can be accounted for by disruption of the disulfide bridge that Cys169 forms with Cys64 in the wild-type structure (Cx26WT). The lack of the disulfide bridge in the Cx26C169Y protein causes a spatial rearrangement of two important residues, Asn176 and Thr177. In the Cx26WT protein, these residues play a crucial role in the intra-molecular interactions that permit the formation of an intercellular channel by the head-to-head docking of two opposing hemichannels resident in the plasma membrane of adjacent cells. Our results elucidate the molecular pathogenesis of hereditary hearing loss due to the connexin mutation and facilitate the understanding of its role in both healthy and affected individuals.&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/25628337?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kleiner, Giulio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanin, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caruso, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milani, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease exhibit increased serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, but decreased circulating levels of macrophage inhibitory protein-1β, interleukin-2 and interleukin-17.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Exp Ther Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Exp Ther Med</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</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2047-2052</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ENG</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic and progressive inflammatory condition of the gastrointestinal tract. Although the causative events that lead to the onset of IBD are yet to be fully elucidated, deregulation of immune and inflammatory mechanisms are hypothesized to significantly contribute to this disorder. Since the onset of IBD is often during infancy, in the present study, the serum values of a large panel of cytokines and chemokines in pediatric patients (&lt;18 years; n=26) were compared with age-matched controls (n=37). While elevations in the serum level of several proinflammatory and immune regulating cytokines were confirmed, such as interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-5, IL-7, interferon (IFN)-γ-inducible protein-10, IL-16, cutaneous T-cell-attracting chemokine, leukemia inhibitory factor, monokine induced by γ-IFN, IFN-α2 and IFN-γ, notably decreased levels of IL-2, IL-17 and macrophage inhibitory protein-1β were also observed. Therefore, while a number of proinflammatory cytokines exhibit increased levels in IBD patients, pediatric IBD patients may also exhibit certain aspects of a reduced immunological response.&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/26136934?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caracciolo, Ilaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bassetti, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paladini, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Luzzati, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Santon, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Merelli, Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sabbata, Giovanni De</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carletti, Tea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcello, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Agaro, Pierlanfranco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Persistent viremia and urine shedding of tick-borne encephalitis virus in an infected immunosuppressed patient from a new epidemic cluster in North-Eastern Italy.</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.

Adequate exposure was defined as a C(min) of 2-7 mg/L and/or an estimated AUC24 of 160-300 mg · h/L. Patients were divided into two subgroups (Group 1, 2-11 years; Group 2, 12-18 years). Monte Carlo simulation was performed to investigate whether or not the currently recommended dosages might enable a high probability of target attainment (PTA) of two thresholds for linezolid efficacy (AUC24/MIC ≥ 80 or ≥ 100). Data on demographic characteristics, disease, microbiology and haematochemical parameters and outcomes were collected.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;A total of 23 patients were included. Standard dosages were suboptimal in 50.0% and 44.4% of patients in Group 1 and Group 2, respectively. Among those who underwent multiple instances of TDM, the dosages were increased in 33.3% of cases in both groups, and decreased in 6.6% and 9.5% of cases in Group 1 and Group 2, respectively. Co-treatment with phenobarbital, proton pump inhibitors and amiodarone accounted for most of the variability in C(min) (adjusted R(2) of 0.692). Simulations showed a PTA of ≥ 90% with the current dosing regimens in both groups only for pathogens with an MIC ≤ 1 mg/L.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Higher dosages of linezolid may be needed, especially in Group 1 when in the presence of pathogens with an MIC &gt;1 mg/L. The role of TDM should be encouraged for optimization of linezolid exposure in the paediatric setting in the presence of infections caused by pathogens with borderline susceptibility and/or for patients co-treated with drugs that may alter linezolid exposure.&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/25182066?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cojutti, Piergiorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maximova, Natalia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pea, Federico</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of continuous-infusion meropenem in pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antimicrob Agents Chemother</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antimicrob.

The relationship between meropenem clearance (CLM) and estimated creatinine clearance (CLCR) was assessed by nonlinear regression. A Monte Carlo simulation was performed to investigate the predictive performance of five dosing regimens (15 to 90 mg/kg of body weight/day) for the empirical treatment of severe Gram-negative-related infections in relation to four different categories of renal function. The optimal target was defined as a probability of target attainment (PTA) of ≥90% at steady-state concentration-to-MIC ratios (C SS/MIC) of ≥1 and ≥4 for MICs of up to 8 mg/liter. A total of 21 patients with 44 meropenem C SS were included. A good relationship between CLM and estimated CLCR was observed (r (2) = 0.733). Simulations showed that at an MIC of 2 mg/liter, the administration of continuous-infusion meropenem at doses of 15, 30, 45, and 60 mg/kg/day may achieve a PTA of ≥90% at a C SS/MIC ratio of ≥4 in the CLCR categories of 40 to &lt;80, 80 to &lt;120, 120 to &lt;200, and 200 to &lt;300 ml/min/1.73 m(2), respectively. At an MIC of 8 mg/liter, doses of up to 90 mg/kg/day by continuous infusion may achieve optimal PTA only in the CLCR categories of 40 to &lt;80 and 80 to &lt;120 ml/min/1.73 m(2). Continuous-infusion meropenem at dosages up to 90 mg/kg/day might be effective for optimal treatment of severe Gram-negative-related infections in pediatric HSCT patients, even when caused by carbapenem-resistant pathogens with an MIC of up to 8 mg/liter.&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/26124157?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iossa, Sandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Costa, Valerio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corvino, Virginia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Auletta, Gennaro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barruffo, Luigi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cappellani, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ceglia, Carlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cennamo, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">d'Adamo, Adamo Pio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Amico, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Paolo, Nilde</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Forte, Raimondo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Laria, Carla</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lombardo, Barbara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Malesci, Rita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vitale, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marciano, Elio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Franzè, Annamaria</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phenotypic and genetic characterization of a family carrying two Xq21.1-21.3 interstitial deletions associated with syndromic hearing loss.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Cytogenet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Cytogenet</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%">8</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">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;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Sensorineural hearing impairment is a common pathological manifestation in patients affected by X-linked intellectual disability. A few cases of interstitial deletions at Xq21 with several different phenotypic characteristics have been described, but to date, a complete molecular characterization of the deletions harboring disease-causing genes is still missing. Thus, the aim of this study is to realize a detailed clinical and molecular analysis of a family affected by syndromic X-linked hearing loss with intellectual disability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Clinical analyses revealed a very complex phenotype that included inner ear malformations, vestibular problems, choroideremia and hypotonia with a peculiar pattern of phenotypic variability. Genomic analysis revealed, for the first time, the presence of two close interstitial deletions in the Xq21.1-21.3, harboring 11 protein coding, 9 non-coding genes and 19 pseudogenes. Among these, 3 protein coding genes have already been associated with X-linked hearing loss, intellectual disability and choroideremia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;In this study we highlighted the presence of peculiar genotypic and phenotypic details in a family affected by syndromic X-linked hearing loss with intellectual disability. We identified two, previously unreported, Xq21.1-21.3 interstitial deletions. The two rearrangements, containing several genes, segregate with the clinical features, suggesting their role in the pathogenicity. However, not all the observed phenotypic features can be clearly associated with the known genes thus, further study is necessary to determine regions involved.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25821518?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calligaris, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berti, Irene</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%">Phleboliths as a marker of slow-flow venous malformation.</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.

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.

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. Eventually, long term breastfeeding should be supported meeting mother's desire.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26498033?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Monterossi, Giorgia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fagotti, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gallotta, Valerio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Costantini, Barbara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vizzielli, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Petrillo, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carbone, Maria Vittoria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scambia, Giovanni</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Positron emission tomography-laparoscopy based method in the prediction of complete cytoreduction in platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann Surg Oncol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann.

Inclusion criteria were absence of extra-abdominal disease and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status ≤2. Complete and optimal secondary cytoreduction are defined as macroscopic absence or less than 1 cm of residual tumor at the end of surgery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Laparoscopy was feasible in 210 of 223 patients (94.2 %). Laparoscopy stated 127 (60.5 %) possible cytoreductions and 83 (39.5 %) systemic chemotherapies. In the same population, AGO score evaluation avowed 150 possible cytoreduction (71.5 %) and 60 unresectable women (28.5 %). Overall, 115 of 210 patients (54.7 %) underwent successful secondary cytoreduction: complete and optimal cytoreduction was obtained in 103 (89.5 %) and 12 (10.5 %) patients, respectively. Laparoscopy obtained a positive predictive value of 91.3 %. Laparoscopy recovered to secondary cytoreduction 13 of 60 patients (21.7 %) deemed as not resectable according to AGO score. Forty-eight of 150 AGO score positive patients (32 %) were judged nonresectable by laparoscopy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;This study confirmed that laparoscopy could be effective for the selection of platinum-sensitive recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer patients suitable for complete cytoreduction.&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/25155399?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tripani, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pellizzoni, Sandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giuliani, Rosella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bembich, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clarici, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lonciari, Isabella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ammaniti, Massimo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PRE- AND POSTNATAL MODIFICATIONS IN PARENTAL MENTAL REPRESENTATIONS IN THREE CASES OF FETAL GASTROSCHISIS DIAGNOSED DURING PREGNANCY.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant Ment Health J</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant Ment Health J</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 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;The aim of this study was to identify possible effects of gastroschisis on parents' intrapsychic dynamics by applying an observational clinical approach.

During the prenatal period, all parents showed a restricted/disinvested style. Three parents-one mother and two fathers-changed their styles from restricted/disinvested to integrated between pregnancy and Month 6 after the birth of their child. Clinical data from the interviews and observations are discussed in an attempt at better defining intrapsychic dynamics of parents after a diagnosis of gastroschisis.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26554534?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ziberna, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Badina, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Longo, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quaglia, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Leo, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vatta, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelossi, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patano, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Not, T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berti, I</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prevalence of celiac disease in patients with severe food allergy.</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><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 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%">1346-9</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The association between food allergy and celiac disease (CD) is still to be clarified.

Sixteen patients (5%) with severe allergy and one (0.8%) with mild allergy tested positive for both genetic and serological CD markers, while the prevalence among the schoolchildren was 1%. Intestinal biopsies were obtained in 13/16 patients with severe allergy and in the one with mild allergy, confirming the diagnosis of CD.

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. Here, we demonstrate that it is ubiquitously expressed in the mouse inner ear. The PSIP1 mutation is associated with a peculiar audiometric slope toward the high frequencies. These findings indicate that PSIP1 likely plays an important role in HHL.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26689366?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Verver, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecci, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Rocco, D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ryhänen, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barozzi, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kunst, H</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Topsakal, V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savoia, A</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">R705H mutation of MYH9 is associated with MYH9-related disease and not only with non-syndromic deafness DFNA17.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin.

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" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24890873?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coelho, A V C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moura, R R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cavalcanti, C A J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guimarães, R L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandrin-Garcia, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brandão, L A C</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A rapid screening of ancestry for genetic association studies in an admixed population from Pernambuco, 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.

However, non-detected population substructure may bias the analysis, resulting in spurious results. One method to detect substructure is to genotype ancestry informative markers (AIMs) besides the candidate variants, quantifying how much ancestral populations contribute to the samples' genetic background. The present study aimed to use a minimum quantity of markers, while retaining full potential to estimate ancestries. We tested the feasibility of a subset of the 12 most informative markers from a previously established study to estimate influence from three ancestral populations: European, African and Amerindian. The results showed that in a sample with a diverse ethnicity (N = 822) derived from 1000 Genomes database, the 12 AIMs had the same capacity to estimate ancestries when compared to the original set of 128 AIMs, since estimates from the two panels were closely correlated. Thus, these 12 SNPs were used to estimate ancestry in a new sample (N = 192) from an admixed population in Recife, Northeast Brazil. The ancestry estimates from Recife subjects were in accordance with previous studies, showing that Northeastern Brazilian populations show great influence from European ancestry (59.7%), followed by African (23.0%) and Amerindian (17.3%) ancestries. Ethnicity self-classification according to skin-color was confirmed to be a poor indicator of population substructure in Brazilians, since ancestry estimates overlapped between classifications. Thus, our streamlined panel of 12 markers may substitute panels with more markers, while retaining the capacity to control for population substructure and admixture, thereby reducing sample processing time.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

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%">Giordano, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Saracco, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grassi, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Luciani, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Banov, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carraro, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crocoli, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cesaro, Simone</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanazzo, Giulio Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molinari, Angelo Claudio</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italian Association of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology (AIEOP)</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Recommendations for the use of long-term central venous catheter (CVC) in children with hemato-oncological disorders: management of CVC-related occlusion and CVC-related thrombosis.

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 name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wiesenfeld, Uri</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mangino, Francesco Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toffoletti, Franco 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%">Relevance of random biopsy at the transformation zone when colposcopy is negative.</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%">Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Colposcopy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Early Detection of Cancer</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%">Papillomavirus Infections</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Precancerous Conditions</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Uterine Cervical Neoplasms</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 Feb</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">125</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">491</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/25611629?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Martelossi, Stefano</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%">Reply to Thalidomide Treatment of Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis: A New Use for an Old Drug.</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.

Host and disease characteristics more strongly associated with ALRI mortality were: diagnosis of very severe pneumonia as per WHO definition (odds ratio 9.42, 95% confidence interval 6.37‒13.92); age below two months (5.22, 1.70‒16.03); diagnosis of Pneumocystis Carinii (4.79, 2.67‒8.61), chronic underlying diseases (4.76, 3.27‒6.93); HIV/AIDS (4.68, 3.72‒5.90); and severe malnutrition (OR 4.27, 3.47‒5.25). Socio-economic and environmental factors significantly associated with increased odds of death from ALRI were: young maternal age (1.84, 1.03‒3.31); low maternal education (1.43, 1.13‒1.82); low socio-economic status (1.62, 1.32‒2.00); second-hand smoke exposure (1.52, 1.20 to 1.93); indoor air pollution (3.02, 2.11‒4.31). Immunisation (0.46, 0.36‒0.58) and good antenatal practices (0.50, 0.31‒0.81) were associated with decreased odds of death.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Host and disease characteristics as well as socio-economic and environmental determinants affect the risk of death from ALRI in children. Together with the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, interventions to modify underlying risk factors such as poverty, lack of female education, and poor environmental conditions, should be considered among the strategies to reduce ALRI mortality in children in low- and middle-income 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/25635911?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piccoli, Monica</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%">De Seta, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parolin, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Businelli, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Travan, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberico, Salvatore</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Multicenter Study Group on Mode of Delivery in Friuli Venezia Giulia</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk-adjusted operative delivery rates and maternal-neonatal outcomes as measures of quality assessment in obstetric care: a multicenter prospective 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><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%">20</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;Although the evaluation of caesarean delivery rates has been suggested as one of the most important indicators of 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%">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%">Fusco, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taboga, Eleonora</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pellizzari, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lagatolla, Cristina</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%">Role of oxidative stress mediated by glutathione-s-transferase in thiopurines' toxic effects.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chem Res Toxicol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chem.

Despite their proven efficacy, a high incidence of toxic effects in patients during standard-dose therapy is recorded. The aim of this study is to explain, from a mechanistic point of view, the clinical evidence showing a significant role of glutathione-S-transferase (GST)-M1 genotype on AZA toxicity in inflammatory bowel disease patients. To this aim, the human nontumor IHH and HCEC cell lines were chosen as predictive models of the hepatic and intestinal tissues, respectively. AZA, but not 6-MP and 6-TG, induced a concentration-dependent superoxide anion production that seemed dependent on GSH depletion. N-Acetylcysteine reduced the AZA antiproliferative effect in both cell lines, and GST-M1 overexpression increased both superoxide anion production and cytotoxicity, especially in transfected HCEC cells. In this study, an in vitro model to study thiopurines' metabolism has been set up and helped us to demonstrate, for the first time, a clear role of GST-M1 in modulating AZA cytotoxicity, with a close dependency on superoxide anion production. These results provide the molecular basis to shed light on the clinical evidence suggesting a role of GST-M1 genotype in influencing the toxic effects of AZA 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/25928802?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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.

Recently we have observed that it increased the risk of speech delay and hearing loss. So the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) of VLBW infants and HCAM.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We performed an observational study on VLBW infants admitted to the NICU of Padua. Each patient with HCAM was matched with one control without HCAM. All infants underwent hearing screening before discharge by means of automated transient-evoked otoacustic emissions and automated auditory brainstem responses, which were repeated at 3 and 6 months of age with tympanometry measurement. Incidence of SNHL at 6 months of age was compared in the 2 groups and risk factors for hearing loss were studied.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Two of 77 (2.6%) newborns with HCAM e 6/73 (8.2%) without it presented SNHL at 6 months of corrected age (p = 0.16). Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified surgical ligation of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) as independent predictors of SNHL (OR: 5.75, 95% CI 1.34-24.84, p = 0.02), whereas the effect of HCAM on SNHL was only near to statistical significance level.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Surgical ligation of PDA is associated with an increased risk of SNHL in VLBW infants, regardless of HCAM.&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/24949929?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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 Leo, Luigina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quaglia, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ziberna, Fabiana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vatta, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelossi, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maschio, Massimo</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%">Serum anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies detected during febrile illness may not be produced by the intestinal mucosa.</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.

We also assessed the role of FYB SNPs in the insurgence of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type III (APSIII), characterized by the simultaneous presence of autoimmune thyroid disease and celiac disease, in patients with T1DM from a Northeastern Brazilian population. One hundred and seventy-seven patients with T1DM and 190 healthy individuals were genotyped for seven tag SNPs, covering most of the FYB locus, using real-time polymerase chain reaction amplification. There was no significant difference in the distribution of allele and genotype frequencies among patients and healthy individuals. Moreover, none of the tag SNPs were associated either to T1DM age of onset or to the insurgence of APSIII. However, since the FYB protein is a key component in T cell response, its gene variants might play a role in protein function, which might be testable in a population with different genetic backgrounds or by using functional assays.&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/25729932?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minute, Marta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patti, Giuseppa</style></author><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%">Zuiani, Chiara</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%">Sirolimus Therapy in Congenital Hyperinsulinism: A Successful Experience Beyond Infancy.</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><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015 Nov</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">136</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e1373-6</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) due to diffuse involvement of the pancreas is a challenging and severe illness in children. Its treatment is based on chronic therapy with diazoxide and/or octreotide, followed by partial pancreatectomy, which is often not resolutive. Sirolimus, a mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor, was reported to be effective in treating CHI in infants. We report here the case of an 8-year-old boy affected by a severe form of CHI due to a biallelic heterozygous ABCC8 mutation who responded to sirolimus with a dramatic improvement in his glucose blood level regulation and quality of life, with no serious adverse events after 6 months of follow-up. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a successful intervention in an older child. It provides a promising basis for further studies comparing sirolimus with other treatments, particularly in older 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/26504125?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Abate, Maria Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chinello, Matteo</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%">Splenic Infarction in Acute Infectious Mononucleosis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Emerg Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Emerg Med</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 Oct 22</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: &lt;/b&gt;The evaluation of a febrile patient with acute abdominal pain represents a frequent yet possibly challenging situation in the emergency department (ED). Splenic infarction is an uncommon complication of infectious mononucleosis, and may have a wide range of clinical presentations, from dramatic to more subtle. Its pathogenesis is still incompletely understood, yet it may be associated with the occurrence of transient prothrombotic factors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CASE REPORT: &lt;/b&gt;We report the case of a 14-year-old boy who presented with fever, sore throat, left upper quadrant abdominal pain, and splenomegaly, with no history of recent trauma. Laboratory tests revealed a markedly prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time and positive lupus anticoagulant. Abdominal ultrasonography showed several hypoechoic areas in the spleen consistent with multiple infarctions. Magnetic resonance imaging eventually confirmed the diagnosis. He was admitted for observation and supportive treatment, and was discharged in good condition after 7 days. WHY SHOULD AN EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN BE AWARE OF THIS?: Spontaneous splenic infarction should be considered in the differential list of patients presenting with left upper quadrant abdominal pain and features of infectious mononucleosis; the diagnosis, however, may not be straightforward, as clinical presentation may also be subtle, and abdominal ultrasonography, which is often used as a first-line imaging modality in pediatric EDs, has low sensitivity in this scenario and may easily miss it. Furthermore, although treatment is mainly supportive, close observation for possible complications is necessary.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26602427?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chinello, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Naviglio, Samuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Remotti, Daniele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Locasciulli, Anna</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%">Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma presenting with diffuse cutaneous edema in a 2-year-old child.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Pediatr Hematol Oncol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

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%">Magnolato, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pederiva, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spagnut, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maschio, Massimo</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%">Three cases of Bartonella quintana infection in children.</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.

Rare pediatric diseases provided exemplar conditions to study the anti-inflammatory efficacy of new generation therapies (biologics/biopharmaceuticals) selectively targeting single cytokines. Monoclonal antibodies and recombinant proteins have revolutionized anti-inflammatory therapies in the last two decades, allowing the specific targeting of single cytokines. They are very effective in extinguishing inflammation from outside the cell, even with the risk of an excessive and prolonged immunosuppression. Small molecules can enter the cell and shutdown the valve of inflammation by directly targeting signal proteins involved in cytokine release or in response to cytokines. They are orally-administrable drugs whose dosage can be easily adjusted to obtain the desired anti-inflammatory effect. This could make these drugs more suitable for a wide range of diseases as stroke, gout, or neurological impairment, where inflammatory activation plays a pivotal role as trigger. Autoinflammatory diseases, which have previously put anti-cytokine proteins in the limelight, can again provide a valuable model to measure the real potential of small inhibitors as anti-inflammatory agents.&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/26370962?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Bossi, Fleur</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bernardi, Stella</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><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabris, Bruno</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">TRAIL modulates the immune system and protects against the development of diabetes.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Immunol Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Immunol Res</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diabetes Mellitus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Immune System</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%">Signal Transduction</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%">2015</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">680749</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;TRAIL or tumor necrosis factor (TNF) related apoptosis-inducing ligand is a member of the TNF superfamily of proteins, whose best characterized function is the induction of apoptosis in tumor, infected, or transformed cells through activation of specific receptors.

This pathway is currently under clinical trials with small molecules inhibitors (SMI).To verify whether a multi-inhibition treatment against Akt protein could enhance the efficacy of individual drug administration and overcome drug resistance as well as to obtain a decrease in single drug concentration, we tested on T-ALL cell lines the effects of combined treatments with three Akt inhibitors with different mode of action, GSK690693, MK-2206 and Perifosine.In cells with hyperactivated Akt, combined administration of the drugs displayed a significant synergistic and cytotoxic effect and affected PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway at much lower concentration than single drug use. Highest synergistic effect for full inhibition of Akt was also related to the timing of every drug administration. Furthermore the triple treatment had greater efficacy in inducing cell cycle arrest in G0/G1 phase and both apoptosis and autophagy.Targeting Akt as a key protein of PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway with multiple drugs might represent a new and promising pharmacological strategy for treatment of T-ALL patients.&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/25788264?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tavares, Mayara C Mansur</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Lima Júnior, Sérgio F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coelho, Antonio V C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marques, Trícia Ruschelle N M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Araújo, Diêgo Henrique T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heráclio, Sandra de A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amorim, Melânia M Ramos</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Souza, Paulo Roberto E</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%">Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha and interleukin (IL) 18 genes polymorphisms are correlated with susceptibility to HPV infection in patients with and without cervical intraepithelial lesion.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann Hum Biol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann.

Host genetic background may facilitate virus persistence in the uterine cervix. Polymorphisms in regulatory and coding regions of cytokine genes have been associated with susceptibility to some human diseases.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AIM: &lt;/b&gt;This study aims at investigating whether TNFA -308 G/A and IL18 -137 G/C and -607 C/A polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to HPV infection/progression to high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SUBJECTS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;One hundred and twenty-two HPV infected and 132 HPV negative women (the latter used as healthy controls) were analysed. TNFA -308 G/A and IL18 (-137G/C and -607 C/A) polymorphisms were analysed using specific sequence polymorphism PCR (SSP-PCR). Univariate statistical analysis and a logistic regression were performed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The TNFA -308A allele was associated with susceptibility to HPV infection (p = 0.0008), while the IL18 -607A allele conferred protection against HPV infection (p = 0.0043). TNFA -308 G/A and IL18 (-137G/C and -607 C/A) polymorphisms were not associated with development of cervical lesions (p &gt; 0.05). An association was also observed between smoking and susceptibility to the development of HSIL.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;The findings suggest an association between two TNFA SNPs and susceptibility to HPV infection in women from Northeast Brazil. The results need to be functionally validated and replicated in other populations with different ethnic backgrounds.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26079218?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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 Albuquerque Maranhão, R M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martins Esteves, F A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eleutério Souza, P R</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 gene polymorphism association with susceptibility to celiac disease 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.

A case-control of 192 patients with CD (96 DQ2-positive and 96 DQ8-positive) and 96 healthy controls from northeast Italy were included in the study. Analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was carried out using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method.

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%">Bianco, Anna Monica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faletra, Flavio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vozzi, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girardelli, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Knowles, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zauli, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Two‑gene mutation in a single patient: Biochemical and functional analysis for a correct interpretation of exome results.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Med Rep</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Med 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 Oct</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6128-32</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has generated a large amount of sequence data with the requirement of frequent critical revisions of reported mutations. This innovative tool has proved to be effective in detecting pathogenic mutations; however, it requires a certain degree of experience to identify incidental findings. In the present study, whole exome sequencing analysis was performed for the molecular diagnosis and correct genotype/phenotype correlation between parents and a patient presenting with an atypical phenotype. In addition, mevalonic acid quantification and frequency analysis of detected variants in public databases and X‑chromosome inactivation (XCI) studies on the patient's mother were performed. V377I as well as the S135L mutations were identified on the mevalonate kinase deficiency gene and the levels of mevalonic acid in the patient were 5,496 µg/ml. A D59G variation, reported in ESP6500 in two healthy individuals, was found on the Martin Probst syndrome gene (RAB40AL). Based on XCI studies on the patient's mother, it is likely that RAB40AL escapes XCI, while still remaining balanced. In conclusion, the results of the present study indicated that the Martin Probst syndrome is an X‑linked condition, which is probably not caused by RAB40AL mutations. Although NGS is a powerful tool to identify pathogenic mutations, the analysis of genetic data requires expert critical revision of all detected variants.&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/26300074?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Barrani, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Massei, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scaglione, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paolicchi, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vitali, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ciancia, E M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caparello, M C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Consolini, R</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Unusual onset of a case of chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis.</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><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%">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;Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is a rare condition that commonly affects the clavicle and pelvis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CASE PRESENTATION: &lt;/b&gt;We report here a case a 12 years old girl with CRMO arising with recurrent episodes of left supraorbital headache, followed by the appearance of a periorbital dyschromia. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the skull and orbits revealed an important subacute inflammatory process. Few months after, the child presented a painful swelling of the left clavicle; the histological examination of the related biopsy allowed to establish the diagnosis of CRMO.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;CRMO presenting as acute headache involving neurocranium is rare; to our knowledge this is the first recognized case in the world literature. This pathological condition is frequently misdiagnosed as infection or neoplasm and needs a deep investigation for the differential diagnosis. The physical, laboratoristic and instrumental diagnostic investigations of the patient and the treatment employed are described in detail.&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/26653878?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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 Moura, Ronald R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Queiroz Balbino, Valdir</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brandão, Lucas A C</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">On the use of Chinese population as a proxy of Amerindian ancestors in genetic admixture studies with Latin American populations.</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.

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%">Pascazio, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bembich, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nardone, Ilaria B</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vecchiet, Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guarino, Giuseppina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clarici, Andrea</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Validation of the Italian translation of the affective neuroscience personality scales.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Psychol Rep</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Psychol Rep</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%">Affect</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%">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%">Neurosciences</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Personality</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Personality Inventory</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Psychometrics</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 Feb</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">116</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">97-115</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 theoretical perspective on affective neuroscience advanced by Panksepp, identified six basic innate affective systems: the SEEK, FEAR, ANGER, SADNESS, PLAY, and CARE systems. (3) It has been proposed that the fundamental elements of human personality and its variants may be based on the different expressions of these basic emotional systems and their combinations. A self-report inventory, the Affective Neuroscience Personality Scales (ANPS), has been devised with the aim of studying and evaluating personality from this perspective. This study reports data on the initial validation of ANPS Italian translation on a sample of 418 adult participants. Descriptive statistics for each scale were calculated, assessing also their internal consistency, as a measure of reliability and factorial validity. Acceptable internal consistency was found in all but one scale (SADNESS), and a second-order factor analysis identified a more general affective feature of personality hinging on relational characteristics, independent of the dimensions of general positive and negative affect.&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/25621669?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cavalcanti, Catarina Addobbati Jordão</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Azevêdo Silva, Jaqueline</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Barros Pita, Will</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Veit, Tiago Degani</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monticielo, Odirlei Andre</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Xavier, Ricardo Machado</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brenol, João Carlos Tavares</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brenol, Cleiton Viegas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fragoso, Thiago Sotero</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbosa, Alexandre Domingues</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Duarte, Ângela Luiza Branco Pinto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oliveira, Renê Donizeti Ribeiro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Louzada-Júnior, Paulo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Donadi, Eduardo Antônio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chies, José Artur Bogo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandrin-Garcia, Paula</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vitamin D receptor polymorphisms and expression profile in rheumatoid arthritis brazilian patients.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Biol Rep</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol.

RA displays important genetic background with a variety of genes contributing to the immune balance breakdown. Recent studies have demonstrated that vitamin D, through its receptor (VDR), is able to regulate the immune balance and suppress the autoimmunity process, being a potential target in autoimmune diseases. In the present genetic association study, we assessed 5 Tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs11168268, rs2248098, rs1540339, rs4760648 and rs3890733), which cover most of the VDR gene, in three different Brazilian populations (from Northeast, Southeast and South Brazil). We also evaluated the VDR expression profile in whole blood and monocytes from RA patients. For genotyping study, 428 RA patients and 616 healthy controls were genotyped with fluorogenic allele specific probes on an ABI7500 platform. For gene expression study, VDR mRNA levels of 15 RA patients and 26 healthy individuals were assessed by RT-PCR. Our results showed that SNPs rs4760648 and rs3890733 are associated to RA susceptibility (p value = 0.0026, OR 1.31 and p value = 0.0091, OR 1.28 with statistical power = 0.999 and 0.993, respectively). Regarding RA clinical features, the studied SNPs did not show significant associations. The gene expression assays showed that VDR mRNA levels were down regulated in both whole blood (-3.3 fold) and monocytes (-3.2 fold) of RA patients when compared to healthy controls. Our results, the first reported for distinct Brazilian populations, support a role of the VDR gene in the susceptibility to RA.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26686848?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Frausin, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Viventi, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Verga Falzacappa, Lucia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quattromani, Miriana Jlenia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leanza, Giampiero</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valencic, Erica</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wharton's jelly derived mesenchymal stromal cells: Biological properties, induction of neuronal phenotype and current applications in neurodegeneration research.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Histochem</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Histochem.</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 May-Jun</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">117</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">329-38</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells, also known as mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), can be isolated from bone marrow or other tissues, including fat, muscle and umbilical cord. It has been shown that MSC behave in vitro as stem cells: they self-renew and are able to differentiate into mature cells typical of several mesenchymal tissues. Moreover, the differentiation toward non-mesenchymal cell lineages (e.g. neurons) has been reported as well. The clinical relevance of these cells is mainly related to their ability to spontaneously migrate to the site of inflammation/damage, to their safety profile thanks to their low immunogenicity and to their immunomodulation capacities. To date, MSCs isolated from the post-natal bone marrow have represented the most extensively studied population of adult MSCs, in view of their possible use in various therapeutical applications. However, the bone marrow-derived MSCs exhibit a series of limitations, mainly related to their problematic isolation, culturing and use. In recent years, umbilical cord (UC) matrix (i.e. Wharton's jelly, WJ) stromal cells have therefore emerged as a more suitable alternative source of MSCs, thanks to their primitive nature and the easy isolation without relevant ethical concerns. This review seeks to provide an overview of the main biological properties of WJ-derived MSCs. Moreover, the potential application of these cells for the treatment of some known dysfunctions in the central and peripheral nervous system will also be discussed.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4-5</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25747736?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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.

syndrome (LQTS) is a disorder of cardiac repolarization most often due to specific drugs, hypokalemia, or hypomagnesemia that may precipitate torsade de pointes and cause sudden cardiac death. Common presentations of the LQTS are palpitations, presyncope, syncope, cardiac arrest, and seizures. An abnormal 12-lead electrocardiogram obtained while the patient is at rest is the key to diagnosis. The occurrence of drug-induced LQTS is unpredictable in any given individual, but a common observation is that most patients have at least 1 identifiable risk factor in addition to drug exposure. The cornerstone of the management of acquired LQTS includes the identification and discontinuation of any precipitating drug and the correction of metabolic abnormalities, such as hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia. Most of the episodes of torsade de pointes are short-lived and terminate spontaneously. We propose a management protocol that could be useful for the daily practice in the emergency pediatric department to reduce the risk of acquired QT prolongation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

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%">Lazzerini, Marzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bramuzzo, Matteo</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%">Association between orofacial granulomatosis and Crohn's disease in children: systematic review.</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.

We searched Medline, LILACS, Virtual Health Library, and Web of Knowledge in September 2013 for cases of OFG in the pediatric age range (&lt; 18 years), with no language limitations. All relevant articles were accessed in full text. The manual search included references of retrieved articles. We extracted data on patients' characteristics, disease characteristics, association with other diseases, and treatment. We analyzed the data and reported the results in tables and text.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;We retrieved 173 reports of OFG in children. Mean age at onset was 11.1 ± 3.8 years (range: 2.0-18 years). Prevalence in males was significant higher than in females (P &lt; 0.001), with a male:female ratio of 2:1. Gastrointestinal signs or symptoms were present in 26.0% of children at the time of OFG diagnosis. Overall, 70/173 (40.4%) children received a concomitant diagnosis of Crohn's disease. In about half (51.4%) of the cases the onset of OFG anticipated the diagnosis of Crohn's disease, with a mean time between the two diagnoses of 13.1 ± 11.6 mo (range: 3-36 mo). Overall, 21/173 (12.1%) of the children with OFG had perianal disease, while 11/173 (6.4%) had a family history of Crohn's disease. Both perianal disease and a family history of Crohn's disease were significantly associated with a higher risk of Crohn's disease diagnosis in children with OFG [relative risk (RR) = 3.10, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.46-3.90; RR = 2.74, 95%CI: 2.24-3.36, P &lt; 0.0001 for both).

So far, many candidate genes have been investigated for their possible association with TB. Dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule 3 (ICAM-3) grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN) and Liver/lymph node-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-grabbing non-integrin (L-SIGN), encoded by CD209 and CD209L genes respectively, are known for binding to M. tuberculosis on human dendritic cells and macrophages. We screened 4 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter region of CD209, namely -939G&gt;A (rs735240), -871A&gt;G (rs735239), -336A&gt;G (rs4804803) and -139G&gt;A (rs2287886) and tandem repeat polymorphisms in exon 4 of CD209 and CD209L genes looking for association with TB in a Northeastern Brazilian population (295 subjects, 131 TB patients and 164 healthy controls). The -139G&gt;A and -939G&gt;A SNPs were associated with susceptibility to TB, and in particular with pulmonary and extra-pulmonary forms respectively. The -871A&gt;G and -336A&gt;G SNPs were associated, the first with protection to both pulmonary and extra-pulmonary TB, the latter only with the pulmonary form. An association between GGAG haplotype and protection to TB infection was also found. Also tandem repeat polymorphism in CD209L exon 4 was associated with TB infection. This study provides evidence of an association between CD209 and CD209L polymorphisms and TB development in a Brazilian population, suggesting that variations in these genes may influence the protection and susceptibility to infection caused by M. tuberculosis.&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/24874302?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cervellati, Carlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Secchiero, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bonaccorsi, Gloria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celeghini, Claudio</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%">Association of serum tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand with body fat distribution as assessed by dual X-rays absorptiometry.</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%">Absorptiometry, Photon</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adipose Tissue</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adiposity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anthropometry</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%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inflammation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Linear Models</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Menopause</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Overweight</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</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2014</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">306848</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;A low chronic inflammation mediated by cytokine release is considered a major pathogenic mechanism accounting for the higher risk of cardiovascular disease in the overweight/obese population. In this context, although the existence of a possible interaction between soluble tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) and quantity and localization, of adiposity in the body has been hypothesized, no studies have yet investigated this link by radiologic techniques able to assess directly fat mass (FM) in different body regions. To address this issue, we assessed body fat distribution by dual X-rays absorptiometry (DXA) in a sample of 103 women and investigated the possible association between the derived adiposity measures and serum TRAIL concentration. The level of TRAIL showed a positive and independent correlation with arms FM (P &lt; 0.05), trunk FM (P &lt; 0.001) and trunk FM% (P &lt; 0.05), total FM and total FM% (P &lt; 0.001 for both), and an inverse association with legs FM% (P &lt; 0.05). Only trunk FM retained a significant correlation (P &lt; 0.05) with TRAIL after adjusting for all the other indices of regional adiposity. In conclusion, from our study it emerged a significant and independent association of serum TRAIL levels with overall, and, mainly, central adiposity. Further studies are needed to longitudinally investigate the cause-effect relationship between change in body fat distribution and TRAIL.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24966465?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Daniela, Codrich</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scarpa, Maria-Grazia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guida, Edoardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dragovic, Danica</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%">An asymptomatic multiple magnet ingestion with transmesenteric entero-enteric fistula.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APSP J Case Rep</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APSP J Case Rep</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 May</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">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;Ingestion of foreign bodies is a common presenting complaint in the pediatric emergency department.

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%">Faletra, Flavio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">d'Adamo, Adamo P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bruno, Irene</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Athanasakis, Emmanouil</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biskup, Saskia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Esposito, Laura</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%">Autosomal recessive Stickler syndrome due to a loss of function mutation in the COL9A3 gene.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Med Genet A</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am.

STL has been described with both autosomal dominant and recessive inheritance. The dominant form is caused by mutations of COL2A1 (STL 1, OMIM 108300), COL11A1 (STL 2, OMIM 604841), and COL11A2 (STL 3, OMIM 184840) genes, while recessive forms have been associated with mutations of COL9A1 (OMIM 120210) and COL9A2 (OMIM 120260) genes. Type IX collagen is a heterotrimeric molecule formed by three genetically distinct chains: α1, α2, and α3 encoded by the COL9A1, COL9A2, and COL9A3 genes. Up to this time, only heterozygous mutations of COL9A3 gene have been reported in human and related to: (1) multiple epiphyseal dysplasia type 3, (2) susceptibility to an intervertebral disc disease, and (3) hearing loss. Here, we describe the first autosomal recessive Stickler family due to loss of function mutations (c.1176_1198del, p.Gln393Cysfs*25) of COL9A3 gene.

In the current study, the three functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) -52G &gt; A, -44C &gt; G, and -20G &gt; A at the 5' un-translated region (UTR) of DEFB1 gene, encoding hBD-1, were analyzed in ASCUS lesion gynecological patients and healthy women from the north-east of Italy (Trieste). Cervical samples from 249 European-Caucasian women were collected, screened for HPV and cytologically evaluated; DEFB1 genotyping has been performed by direct sequencing. No significant differences were found for -52G &gt; A, -44C &gt; G, and -20G &gt; A SNPs allele and genotype frequencies between women with and without ASCUS lesions. DEFB1 minor haplotypes were significantly more frequent in ASCUS lesion positive than negative women, associating with an increased risk of this type of lesion. When women were stratified according to HPV infection status, significant differences in the distribution of -52G &gt; A SNP genotype frequencies were found: the presence of the A allele in the homozygous genotype A/A associated with a lower risk of developing ASCUS lesions in HPV negative women. DEFB1 minor haplotypes were also associated with an increased risk of developing ASCUS lesions, being significantly more frequent in HPV negative women with lesions, than without lesions. Although these results highlight the possible involvement of DEFB1, further studies are needed to support the role of DEFB1 in the modulation of the susceptibility to ASCUS lesions.&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/24435641?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Kleiner, Giulio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valencic, Erica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campisciano, Giuseppina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girardelli, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Knowles, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Block of the mevalonate pathway triggers oxidative and inflammatory molecular mechanisms modulated by exogenous isoprenoid compounds.</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%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Apoptosis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carotenoids</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carrier Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Line</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cytokines</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diterpenes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mevalonic Acid</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mice</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mitochondria</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nitric Oxide</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phytol</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Terpenes</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%">15</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6843-56</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Deregulation of the mevalonate pathway is known to be involved in a number of diseases that exhibit a systemic inflammatory phenotype and often neurological involvements, as seen in patients suffering from a rare disease called mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD). One of the molecular mechanisms underlying this pathology could depend on the shortage of isoprenoid compounds and the subsequent mitochondrial damage, leading to oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines' release. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that cellular death results from the balance between apoptosis and pyroptosis, both driven by mitochondrial damage and the molecular platform inflammasome. In order to rescue the deregulated pathway and decrease inflammatory markers, exogenous isoprenoid compounds were administered to a biochemical model of MKD obtained treating a murine monocytic cell line with a compound able to block the mevalonate pathway, plus an inflammatory stimulus. Our results show that isoprenoids acted in different ways, mainly increasing the expression of the evaluated markers [apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, nucleotide-binding oligomerization-domain protein-like receptors 3 (NALP3), cytokines and nitric oxide (NO)]. Our findings confirm the hypothesis that inflammation is triggered, at least partially, by the shortage of isoprenoids. Moreover, although further studies are necessary, the achieved results suggest a possible role for exogenous isoprenoids in the treatment of MKD.&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/24758928?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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.

While we have many drugs for its treatment and prophylaxis, the majority are poorly studied in breastfeeding women. We conducted a review of the most common anti-migraine drugs (AMDs) and we determined their lactation risk.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;For each AMD, we collected all retrievable data from Hale's Medications and Mother Milk (2012), from the LactMed database (2014) of the National Library of Medicine, and from a MedLine Search of relevant studies published in the last 10 years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;According to our review, AMDs safe during breastfeeding are as follows: low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), ibuprofen, sumatriptan, metoprolol, propranolol, verapamil, amitriptyline, escitalopram, paroxetine, sertraline, acetaminophen, caffeine, and metoclopramide. AMDs compatible with breastfeeding but warranting caution are as follows: diclofenac, ketoprofen, naproxen, most new triptans, topiramate, valproate, venlafaxine, and cyproheptadine. Finally, high-dose ASA, atenolol, nadolol, cinnarizine, flunarizine, ergotamine, methysergide, and pizotifen are contraindicated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;According to our review, the majority of the revised AMDs were assessed to be compatible with breastfeeding.&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/25217187?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Cetin, Irene</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Davanzo, Riccardo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Breastfeeding during pregnancy: safety and socioeconomic status.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Breastfeed Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Breastfeed Med</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%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lactation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</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%">Weaning</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-Aug</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">322</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><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/24892360?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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, Fleur</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tripodo, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rizzi, Lucia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bulla, Roberta</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%">Munaut, Carine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baldassarre, Gustavo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Papa, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zorzet, Sonia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ghebrehiwet, Berhane</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ling, Guang Sheng</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 as a unique player in angiogenesis with therapeutic implication in wound healing.</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.

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.

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.

Afterward, the patients were given a new product formulated in slow-release vaginal tablets containing at least 0.4 billion live cells of each of lactobacillus L. fermentum LF10 and L. acidophilus LA02 (first phase of the prophylactic period), on alternate days for 10 consecutive nights. Patients who were still free of symptoms were given 1 vaginal tablet every week for the next 10 weeks (second phase of the prophylactic period). Patients asymptomatic after the total duration of the observation phase (7 mo) were considered as responders.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;During the second 10-week prophylactic phase, 49 of 57 (86.0%) patients remained free of clinical recurrence, whereas symptomatic VVC occurred in 8 patients (14.0%). During the 7-month follow-up, 42 patients of 49 (85.7%) were symptom free at the end of the protocol, whereas clinical recurrences occurred in 7 women (14.3%). Overall, 42 of 58 women enrolled in the study (72.4%) experienced no clinical recurrence throughout the 7-month observation phase (responders).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;This study strengthens the evidence supporting the use of specific lactobacilli with well-demonstrated activities associated with the creation and maintenance of a vaginal biofilm that hinders the persistence of an infection caused by Candida.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

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%">Girotto, Giorgia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mezzavilla, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Abdulhadi, Khalid</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vuckovic, Dragana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vozzi, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Khalifa Alkowari, Moza</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Badii, Ramin</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Consanguinity and hereditary hearing loss in Qatar.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum Hered</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum.

Its native population consists of 3 major subgroups: people of Arabian origin or Bedouins, those from an Eastern or Persian ancestry and individuals with African admixture. Historically, all types of consanguineous marriages have been and still are common in the Qatari population, particularly among first and double-first cousins. Thus, there is a higher risk for most inherited diseases including hereditary hearing loss (HHL). In particular, a hearing loss prevalence of 5.2% has been reported in Qatar, with parental consanguinity being more common among affected individuals as compared with unaffected ones. Our recent molecular results confirm a high homogeneity and level of inbreeding in Qatari HHL patients. Among all HHL genes, GJB2, the major player worldwide, accounts for a minor proportion of cases and at least 3 additional genes have been found to be mutated in Qatari patients. Interestingly, one gene, BDP1, has been described to cause HHL only in this country. These results point towards an unexpected level of genetic heterogeneity despite the high level of inbreeding. This review provides an up-to-date picture of HHL in Qatar and of the impact of consanguinity on this disease.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25060281?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calligaris, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Longo, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Badina, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berti, Irene</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%">Cow's milk allergy in children, from avoidance to tolerance.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Endocr Metab Immune Disord Drug Targets</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Endocr Metab Immune Disord Drug Targets</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cattle</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%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Immune Tolerance</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milk Hypersensitivity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milk Substitutes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retrospective Studies</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%">14</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">47-53</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Food allergy is the primary cause of anaphylaxis in paediatric age affecting roughly 4% of children and their families worldwide, and requiring changes in dietary habits. The prognosis for food allergy in children has traditionally been regarded as good for the most frequent allergens, however the prognosis for cow's milk allergy in the pediatric age is currently considered to be worse than previously believed. There is now enough evidence that measures of avoidance for children at risk did not have any preventive effect whatsoever, but they still came to be counterproductive by avoiding the physiological interaction between food allergens and gastrointestinal mucosal immune system. Programs of specific oral tolerance induction (SOTI) have obtained interesting results in the treatment of food allergy supporting the idea that antigen exposure through gastrointestinal section is important to allow the development of tolerance. Nevertheless this approach is not yet considered &quot;ready&quot; for community recommendations. In this paper we describe our experience in the field of SOTI in children with cow's milk allergy.&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/24450451?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vecchi Brumatti, Liza</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tricarico, Paola Maura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanin, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girardelli, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bianco, Anna Monica</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curcumin and inflammatory bowel disease: potential and limits of innovative treatments.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molecules</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molecules</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chemistry, Pharmaceutical</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clinical Trials as Topic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curcumin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inflammatory Bowel Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molecular Targeted Therapy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nanotechnology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Treatment Outcome</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%">19</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21127-53</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Curcumin belongs to the family of natural compounds collectively called curcuminoids and it possesses remarkable beneficial anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and neuroprotective properties. Moreover it is commonly assumed that curcumin has also been suggested as a remedy for digestive diseases such as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), a chronic immune disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract and that can be divided in two major subgroups: Crohn's disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC), depending mainly on the intestine tract affected by the inflammatory events. The chronic and intermittent nature of IBD imposes, where applicable, long-term treatments conducted in most of the cases combining different types of drugs. In more severe cases and where there has been no good response to the drugs, a surgery therapy is carried out. Currently, IBD-pharmacological treatments are generally not curative and often present serious side effects; for this reason, being known the relationship between nutrition and IBD, it is worthy of interesting the study and the development of new dietary strategy. The curcumin principal mechanism is the suppression of IBD inflammatory compounds (NF-κB) modulating immune response. This review summarizes literature data of curcumin as anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant in IBD, trying to understand the different effects in CD e UC.&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/25521115?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">da Silva, Ronaldo Celerino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cunha Tavares, Nathália de Alencar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moura, Ronald</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coelho, Antônio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guimarães, Rafael Lima</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Araújo, Jacqueline</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brandão, Lucas André Cavalcanti</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Silva, Jaqueline de Azevêdo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DC-SIGN polymorphisms are associated to type 1 diabetes mellitus.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Immunobiology</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Immunobiology</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alleles</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Case-Control Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Adhesion Molecules</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%">Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene Frequency</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Association Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Predisposition to Disease</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%">Infant, Newborn</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lectins, C-Type</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Odds Ratio</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polymorphism, Genetic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Promoter Regions, Genetic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Receptors, Cell Surface</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 Nov</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">219</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">859-65</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Type I diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disorder featured by raised glucoses levels. It has been hypothesised that raised glucose levels in T1DM might be recognised as PAMPs, leading to immune response by overloading the cell receptors for pathogens recognition. DC-SIGN is a transmembrane protein, present in dendritic cells (DC) and macrophages: it has an important role in inflammatory response and T cells activation. Notably, DC-SIGN activation and triggering of the immune response depend on the type of ligand, which may lead to a pro or anti-inflammatory pathway. In our association study, we analysed the SNPs rs4804803 (-336 A&gt;G) and rs735239 (-871 A&gt;G), both at DC-SIGN promoter region, in 210 T1DM patients and 157 healthy controls, also looking for a correlation with the age of onset of the disease. We found that the allele G and genotypes G/G and A/G of SNP-871 (rs735239), as well as the alleles G-G (rs735239-rs4804803) and genotypes combined AA-GG (rs735239-rs4804803) were associated with protection of T1DM development. We did not find association between these variations with the age of onset of the disease and the presence of other autoimmune disorders.

In this study, five functional polymorphisms (namely g-52G&gt;A, g-44C&gt;G and g-20G&gt;A in the 5'UTR and c.*5G&gt;A and c.*87A&gt;G in the 3'UTR) in the DEFB1 gene encoding for hBD-1 were analysed to investigate the possible involvement of these genetic variants in susceptibility to HPV infection and in the development of HPV-associated lesions in a population of Brazilian women. The DEFB1 g-52G&gt;A and c.*5G&gt;A single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the GCAAA haplotype showed associations with HPV-negative status; in particular, the c.*5G&gt;A SNP was significantly associated after multiple test corrections.

However, for some pathogens, including Bartonella henselae, diagnosis still depends on manually intensive, time-consuming assays including micro-immunofluorescence, Western blotting or indirect immunofluorescence. For such pathogens, there is obviously still a need to identify antigens to establish a reliable, fast and high-throughput assay (Dupon et al. ). We evaluated two B. henselae proteins to develop a novel serological ELISA: a well-known antigen, the 17-kDa protein, and GroEL, identified during this study by a proteomic approach. When serum IgG were tested, the specificity and sensitivity were 76 and 65·7% for 17-kDa, respectively, and 82 and 42·9% for GroEL, respectively. IgM were found to be more sensitive and specific for both proteins: 17-kDa protein, specificity 86·2% and sensitivity 75%; GroEL, specificity 97·7% and sensitivity 45·3%. IgM antibodies were also measured in lymphoma patients and patients with Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection to assess the usefulness of our ELISA to distinguish them from B. henselae infected patients. The resulting specificities were 89·1 and 93·5% for 17-kDa protein and GroEL, respectively. Combining the results from the two tests, we obtained a sensitivity of 82·8% and a specificity of 83·9%. Our work described and validated a proteomic approach suitable to identify immunogenic proteins useful for developing a serological test of B. henselae infection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: &lt;/b&gt;A reliable serological assay for the diagnosis of Cat Scratch Disease (CSD) - a pathological condition caused by Bartonella henselae infection - has not yet been developed. Such an assay would be extremely useful to discriminate between CSD and other pathologies with similar symptoms but different aetiologies, for example lymphoma or tuberculosis. We investigate the use of two B. henselae proteins - GroEL and 17-kDa - to develop a serological-based ELISA, showing promising results with the potential for further development as an effective tool for the differential diagnosing of B. henselae 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/24834970?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24951462?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Clarici, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vecchiet, Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baldassi, Giulio</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%">Differences in time course activation of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex associated with low or high risk choices in a gambling task.</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%">464</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Prefrontal cortex plays an important role in decision making (DM), supporting choices in the ordinary uncertainty of everyday life. To assess DM in an unpredictable situation, a playing card task, such as the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT), has been proposed. This task is supposed to specifically test emotion-based learning, linked to the integrity of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPFC). However, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has demonstrated a role in IGT performance too. Our aim was to study, by multichannel near-infrared spectroscopy, the contribution of DLPFC to the IGT execution over time. We tested the hypothesis that low and high risk choices would differentially activate DLPFC, as IGT execution progressed. We enrolled 11 healthy adults. To identify DLPFC activation associated with IGT choices, we compared regional differences in oxy-hemoglobin variation, from baseline to the event. The time course of task execution was divided in four periods, each one consisting of 25 choices, and DLPFC activation was distinctly analyzed for low and high risk choices in each period. We found different time courses in DLPFC activation, associated with low or high risk choices. During the first period, a significant DLPFC activation emerged with low risk choices, whereas, during the second period, we found a cortical activation with high risk choices. Then, DLPFC activation decreased to non-significant levels during the third and fourth period. This study shows that DLPFC involvement in IGT execution is differentiated over time and according to choice risk level. DLPFC is activated only in the first half of the task, earlier by low risk and later by high risk choices. We speculate that DLPFC may sustain initial and more cognitive functions, such as attention shifting and response inhibition. The lack of DLPFC activation, as the task progresses, may be due to VMPFC activation, not detectable by fNIRS, which takes over the IGT execution in its second half.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25009486?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app

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%">Benini, Franca</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%">Doing without codeine: why and what are the alternatives?</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%">Acetaminophen</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Analgesics, Non-Narcotic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Analgesics, Opioid</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Codeine</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pain Measurement</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pain, Postoperative</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tonsillectomy</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%">40</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">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;Codeine is a mild opioid widely used as an analgesic in various age groups, including various pediatric settings. It is a prodrug that owes its analgesic effect almost entirely to the principal metabolite: morphine. The genetic polymorphisms can contribute to making the pharmacokinetics of codeine hard to predict and this it is particularly important in the pediatric population because infants and children have greater susceptibility to the side-effects of morphine. In recent years there have been several reports in the literature on the risks relating to the use of codeine. In August 2012, the American Food and Drugs Administration began to revise its recommendations for the safe use of codeine and in February 2013, established that codeine should not be used for postoperative pain control in children undergoing adenoidectomy and/or tonsillectomy and did restrict the use of this drug in the pediatric population. In June 2013, the European Medicine Agency opted the same decision. In July 2013, the Agenzia Italiana del Farmaco prohibit the use of medicines containing codeine for patients under 12 years old and recommended a limited use of the drug, in many other situations. Complying with these recommendations naturally means changing habits and treatment strategies well established in pediatric practice, but other drugs, tools and techniques available enable us to continue to assure an adequate pain control in pediatric patients, irrespective of their age and situation. The article proposes same alternatives of pain control drugs.&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/24517264?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Moura, Ronald</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pontillo, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">d'Adamo, Pio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pirastu, Nicola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campos Coelho, Antonio</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%">Exome analysis of HIV patients submitted to dendritic cells therapeutic vaccine reveals an association of CNOT1 gene with response to the treatment.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Int AIDS Soc</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Int AIDS Soc</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AIDS Vaccines</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dendritic Cells</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Exome</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%">Immunity, Humoral</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%">Transcription Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Treatment Outcome</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%">17</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18938</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;With the aim of searching genetic factors associated with the response to an immune treatment based on autologous monocyte-derived dendritic cells pulsed with autologous inactivated HIV, we performed exome analysis by screening more than 240,000 putative functional exonic variants in 18 HIV-positive Brazilian patients that underwent the immune treatment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Exome analysis has been performed using the ILLUMINA Infinium HumanExome BeadChip. zCall algorithm allowed us to recall rare variants. Quality control and SNP-centred analysis were done with GenABEL R package. An in-house implementation of the Wang method permitted gene-centred analysis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;CCR4-NOT transcription complex, subunit 1 (CNOT1) gene (16q21), showed the strongest association with the modification of the response to the therapeutic vaccine (p=0.00075). CNOT1 SNP rs7188697 A/G was significantly associated with DC treatment response. The presence of a G allele indicated poor response to the therapeutic vaccine (p=0.0031; OR=33.00; CI=1.74-624.66), and the SNP behaved in a dominant model (A/A vs. A/G+G/G p=0.0009; OR=107.66; 95% CI=3.85-3013.31), being the A/G genotype present only in weak/transient responders, conferring susceptibility to poor response to the immune treatment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DISCUSSION: &lt;/b&gt;CNOT1 is known to be involved in the control of mRNA deadenylation and mRNA decay. Moreover, CNOT1 has been recently described as being involved in the regulation of inflammatory processes mediated by tristetraprolin (TTP). The TTP-CCR4-NOT complex (CNOT1 in the CCR4-NOT complex is the binding site for TTP) has been reported as interfering with HIV replication, through post-transcriptional control. Therefore, we can hypothesize that genetic variation occurring in the CNOT1 gene could impair the TTP-CCR4-NOT complex, thus interfering with HIV replication and/or host immune response.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Being aware that our findings are exclusive to the 18 patients studied with a need for replication, and that the genetic variant of CNOT1 gene, localized at intron 3, has no known functional effect, we propose a novel potential candidate locus for the modulation of the response to the immune treatment, and open a discussion on the necessity to consider the host genome as another potential variant to be evaluated when designing an immune therapy study.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24433985?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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, N</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrara, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minute, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pizzol, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kiren, V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montico, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gregori, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tamaro, P</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Experience from a single paediatric transplant centre with identification of some protective and risk factors concerning the development of hepatic veno-occlusive disease in children after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant.</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.

We recently carried out a Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) of quantitative hearing traits in southern European populations and found several SNPs with suggestive but none with significant association. In the current study, we followed up these SNPs to investigate which of them might show a genuine association with auditory function using alternative approaches. Firstly, we generated a shortlist of 19 genes from the published GWAS results. Secondly, we carried out immunocytochemistry to examine expression of these 19 genes in the mouse inner ear. Twelve of them showed distinctive cochlear expression patterns. Four showed expression restricted to sensory hair cells (Csmd1, Arsg, Slc16a6 and Gabrg3), one only in marginal cells of the stria vascularis (Dclk1) while the others (Ptprd, Grm8, GlyBP, Evi5, Rimbp2, Ank2, Cdh13) in multiple cochlear cell types. In the third step, we tested these 12 genes for replication of association in an independent set of samples from the Caucasus and Central Asia. Nine out of them showed nominally significant association (p&lt;0.05). In particular, 4 were replicated at the same SNP and with the same effect direction while the remaining 5 showed a significant association in a gene-based test. Finally, to look for genotype-phenotype relationship, the audiometric profiles of the three genotypes of the most strongly associated gene variants were analyzed. Seven out of the 9 replicated genes (CDH13, GRM8, ANK2, SLC16A6, ARSG, RIMBP2 and DCLK1) showed an audiometric pattern with differences between different genotypes further supporting their role in hearing function. These data demonstrate the usefulness of this multistep approach in providing new insights into the molecular basis of hearing and may suggest new targets for treatment and prevention of hearing impairment.&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/24454846?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Athanasakis, Emmanouil</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Severini, Giovanni Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bianco, Anna Monica</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%">F402L variant in NLRP12 in subjects with undiagnosed periodic fevers and in healthy controls.</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.

Due to its selective action on proliferating cells, Tofa can offer a way to block T cell activation, without toxic effects on resting cells. However, few studies have investigated the effects of Tofa on lymphocyte activation in vitro. Our aim was to study the action of Tofa on different lymphocyte subsets after in vitro stimulation and to track the behaviour of treated cells after interruption of the treatment. Peripheral blood lymphocytes were stimulated in vitro with mitogen and treated with two concentrations of Tofa. After a first period in culture, cells were washed and further incubated for an additional time. Lymphocyte subsets, activation phenotype and proliferation were assessed at the different time frames. As expected, Tofa was able to reduce the activation and proliferation of lymphocytes in the first four days of treatment. In addition the drug led to a relative decrease of Natural Killer, B cells and CD8 T cells compared to CD4 T cells. However, treated cells were still viable after the first period in culture and begun to proliferate, strikingly, in a dose dependent manner when the drug was removed from the environment by replacing the culture medium. This novel data does not necessarily predict a similar behaviour in vivo, but can warn about the clinical use of this drug when a discontinuation of treatment with Tofa is considered for any reason.&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/24416411?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Davanzo, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Strajn, Tamara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kennedy, Jacqueline</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crocetta, Anna</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%">From tube to breast: the bridging role of semi-demand breastfeeding.</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><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%">30</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">405-9</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Determination of the optimal timing of breastfeeding initiation for preterm infants is still a challenge for health professionals. Often unjustified delays and restrictions of breastfeeding occur due to non-evidence-based current opinions about preterm infants' feeding capacity. Semi-demand feeding has been proposed for preterm infants during the transition from scheduled to full demand feeding, to promote the establishment of self-regulated oral feeding. Although semi-demand feeding has been shown to be safe and effective in reducing time to reaching oral feeding, the implementation of this feeding pattern for preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) is still limited. We developed a protocol for the application of semi-demand feeding in preterm infants based on the existing knowledge of preterm infant neurodevelopment and NICU organization and staff experience. The protocol's aim is to attain successful transition from tube feeding to breastfeeding. In this article, we describe the protocol used in the neonatal unit of the Maternal and Child Health Institute of Trieste, a third level care center in northeastern Italy.&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/25172892?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24952745?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Vozzi, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pirastu, Nicola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girotto, Giorgia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">d'Adamo, Pio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Colonna, Vincenza</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic landscape of populations along the Silk Road: admixture and migration patterns.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BMC Genet.</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%">Commonwealth of Independent States</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">European Continental Ancestry Group</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene Flow</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Homozygote</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Human Migration</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phenotype</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Principal Component Analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sequence Analysis, DNA</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%">15</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">131</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 ancient Silk Road has been a trading route between Europe and Central Asia from the 2(nd) century BCE to the 15(th) century CE. While most populations on this route have been characterized, the genetic background of others remains poorly understood, and little is known about past migration patterns. The scientific expedition &quot;Marco Polo&quot; has recently collected genetic and phenotypic data in six regions (Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan) along the Silk Road to study the genetics of a number of phenotypes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;We characterized the genetic structure of these populations within a worldwide context. We observed a West-East subdivision albeit the existence of a genetic component shared within Central Asia and nearby populations from Europe and Near East. We observed a contribution of up to 50% from Europe and Asia to most of the populations that have been analyzed. The contribution from Asia dates back to ~25 generations and is limited to the Eastern Silk Road. Time and direction of this contribution are consistent with the Mongolian expansion era.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;We clarified the genetic structure of six populations from Central Asia and suggested a complex pattern of gene flow among them. We provided a map of migration events in time and space and we quantified exchanges among populations. Altogether these novel findings will support the future studies aimed at understanding the genetics of the phenotypes that have been collected during the Marco Polo campaign, they will provide insights into the history of these populations, and they will be useful to reconstruct the developments and events that have shaped modern Eurasians genomes.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25476266?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app

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%">Ferrara, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maximova, Natalia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zennaro, Floriana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gregori, Massimo</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%">Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation effects on spinal cord compression in Hurler.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Transplant</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Transplant</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bone Marrow Transplantation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Enzyme Replacement Therapy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Glycosaminoglycans</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%">Iduronidase</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Magnetic Resonance Imaging</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mucopolysaccharidosis I</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Odontoid Process</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spinal Cord Compression</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Treatment Outcome</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 May</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">18</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">E96-9</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Hurler syndrome type 1 (MPS-1) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal disorder due to the deficiency of the enzyme alpha-L-iduronidase which is necessary for the degradation of dermatan and heparan sulfate. It is characterized by deposit of glycosaminoglycans in tissues, progressive multisystem dysfunction, and early death. HSCT for children with MPS-I is effective, resulting in increased life expectancy and improvement of clinical parameters. The spinal MRI performed on a female 10 yr old undergoing HSCT at the age of 18 months and receiving ERT revealed a considerable decrease in soft tissue around the tip of odontoid causing a significant reduction in spinal cord compression. In light of this result, we suppose that combined ERT and HSCT are successful in Hurler I disease.&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/24483599?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Barbieri, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Leo, Grazia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valencic, Erica</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></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in total parenteral nutrition dependent children: description of 5 cases and practical tips for management.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Pediatr Hematol Oncol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

The main complications of TPN include catheter-related sepsis, thrombosis, hepatic cholestasis and cirrhosis, metabolic bone disease, and, rarely, reactive hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). The pathogenesis of HLH in patients with TPN is not known, although some authors hypothesized that it can result from the activation of macrophages because of &quot;fat overload.&quot; We reported 5 cases of HLH that occurred in patients with 4 different underlying disorders, all requiring TPN for a long term. In our series, an underlying immunological defect or a serious infection (sepsis) can have triggered HLH. Therefore, it could be reasonable to hypothesize that besides TPN in itself, minor immune defects and infections may act together by overcoming a threshold of immune stimulation, which ultimately leads to HLH.&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/23823121?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Campioni, Diana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Voltan, Rebecca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tisato, Veronica</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%">Heterogeneity of mesenchymal stromal cells in lymphoproliferative disorders.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Front Biosci (Landmark Ed)</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Front Biosci (Landmark Ed)</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Immunophenotyping</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Karyotyping</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lymphoproliferative Disorders</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mesenchymal Stromal Cells</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%">19</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">139-51</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Accumulating evidence indicates that bone marrow microenvironment plays an important role in the pathogenesis of some myeloid and lymphoid hematological malignancies (HM). Among different environmental associated parameters, those related to functional, cytogenetic and immunological integrity of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) are particularly relevant. Functional alterations and immunophenotypic abnormalities have been described in MSC obtained from HM patients. These data seem to confirm the defective biological pattern of MSC especially in myeloid diseases, while MSC cytogenetic profile in HM is still an open question, because it is not clear whether BM stromal cells are &quot;culprit or bystander&quot; displaying or not an abnormal karyotype. Contradictory findings were reported in different HM but the functional implications of altered MSC karyotype need to be further addressed also in light of a clinical use of MSC. A &quot;pathological&quot; in vivo supportive function of endogenous MSC, which provide important survival and drug resistance signals to leukemic cells especially in lymphoproliferative disorders, is suggested. Thus, the mechanisms underlying these protective versus cytotoxic effects exerted by MSC on leukemic cells need further investigations.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24389177?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paviotti, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bua, Jenny</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Cunto, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Travan, Laura</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%">High-frequency percussive ventilation as rescue treatment in severe hypoxemic respiratory failure in term neonates.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Crit Care</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Crit Care</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">High-Frequency Ventilation</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%">Oxygen</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pulmonary Gas Exchange</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Respiratory Insufficiency</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%">29</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">662-3</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><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/24636924?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pellegrin, M C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Matarazzo, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neri, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pennesi, M</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%">HLA-B35, a common genetic trait, in a familial case of Henoch-Schoenlein purpura and Berger's disease.</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.

Our findings reinforce the need to screen for urinary abnormalities in family members of patients affected by HSP nephritis to identify a silent IgA nephropathy.&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/24782055?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zupin, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kim, H-Y</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Catamo, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thea, D M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kankasa, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aldrovandi, G M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kuhn, 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%">HLA-G 14 bp deletion/insertion polymorphism and mother-to-child transmission of HIV.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tissue Antigens</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tissue Antigens</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alleles</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Base Pairing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genotype</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">HIV Infections</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">HLA-G Antigens</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">INDEL Mutation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infectious Disease Transmission, Vertical</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mothers</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polymorphism, Genetic</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 Mar</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">83</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">161-7</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The human leukocyte antigen HLA-G, highly expressed at the maternal-fetal interface, has a pivotal role in mediating immune tolerance. In this study we investigated the influence of HLA-G 14 bp insertion polymorphism in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 mother-to-child HIV-1 transmission. The 14 bp insertion polymorphism was analyzed among 99 HIV-1 positive mothers and 329 infants born to HIV-positive mothers in Zambia, among whom vertical transmission status and timing had been determined. HLA-G 14 bp insertion polymorphism was detected using a custom TaqMan single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) genotyping assay. Logistic regression was conducted to examine the associations between HLA-G alleles and the risk of HIV transmission. The 14 bp insertion allele was more frequent in HIV exposed-uninfected (EU) infants than in infected infants, and was associated with reduced risk of both in utero (IU) and intrapartum (IP) HIV transmission, after adjusting for maternal cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) cell count and plasma viral load. Maternal HLA-G 14 bp insertion genotype and HLA-G concordance between mother and child were not associated with the risk of perinatal HIV transmission. The presence of the 14 bp insertion associates with protection toward IU and IP HIV infection in children from Zambia, suggesting that HLA-G could be involved in the vertical transmission of HIV.&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/24571474?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Catamo, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Addobbati, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sotero Fragoso, T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Domingues Barbosa, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tavares Dantas, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Ataíde Mariz, H</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">F da Rocha, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Branco Pinto Duarte, A L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandrin-Garcia, P</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%">HLA-G gene polymorphisms associated with susceptibility to rheumatoid arthritis disease and its severity in Brazilian patients.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tissue Antigens</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tissue Antigens</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3' Untranslated Regions</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5' Flanking Region</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arthritis, Rheumatoid</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brazil</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Disease Progression</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA Mutational Analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene Frequency</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Association Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Predisposition to Disease</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%">HLA-G Antigens</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%">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%">Risk</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 Sep</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">84</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">308-15</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;We analyzed the possible association between human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G) genetic variants, supposed to regulate HLA-G expression, and the susceptibility to develop rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as well as its clinical manifestations.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis and HPV co-infection in different cohorts of asymptomatic women from a Northern Italy area at high incidence for cervical cancer. Cervical samples from 441 females were collected from Cervical Cancer Screening Program, Sexually Transmitted Infectious and Assisted Reproductive Technology centres. HPV and Chlamydia trachomatis were detected simultaneously and genotyped using a highly sensitive bead based assay. The overall prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis was estimated 9.7%, in contrast with the reported national data of 2.3%, and co-infection with HPV was diagnosed in the 17% of the samples. In females ≤ 25 years of age, the infection reached a peak of 22% and co-infection with HPV of 45.8% (P &lt; 0.001). Of note, in young females diagnosed with low grade cervical lesions, no significant difference between Chlamydia trachomatis and HPV distribution was observed, while differently, HPV co-infection was found significantly associated to the presence of intraepithelial lesions when compared to older females (20% vs. 1%; P &lt; 0.001). In this study, the use of a high sensitive molecular technique exhibited higher analytical sensitivity than the referred assays for the diagnosis of Chlamydia trachomatis and HPV co-infection in asymptomatic females, leading to reduction of the potential to identify incorrectly the infection status. An active screening for timely treatment of Chlamydia trachomatis infection is suggested in young females to evaluate a possible decrease in incidence of pre-cancer intraepithelial lesions.&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/25132162?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gallo, Davide</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cocchietto, Moreno</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Masat, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agostinis, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Harei, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Veronesi, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sava, Gianni</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Human recombinant lysozyme downregulates advanced glycation endproduct-induced interleukin-6 production and release in an in-vitro model of human proximal tubular epithelial cells.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Exp Biol Med (Maywood)</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Exp.

Evidence suggests that its progression is due to the chronic hyperglycemia consequent to the production and accumulation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs). Lysozyme was shown to posses AGE-sequestering properties and the capacity to reduce the severity of the early stage manifestations of the diabetic nephropathy. This study was aimed to contribute to the understanding the molecular mechanisms of lysozyme effectiveness in the diabetic nephropathy, using an in-vitro cellular model, represented by the HK-2 cells, human proximal tubular epithelial cells. Lysozyme significantly reduced the AGE-induced IL-6 mRNA and an ELISA assay showed also a decreased release of the functional protein with a dose-dependent trend. In addition, lysozyme prevented macrophage recruitment, suggesting its capacity to elicit an anti-inflammatory action. We may conclude that the protective action of lysozyme on the nephrotoxic effects of AGE may depend, at least in part, on its ability to prevent the production and release of inflammatory mediators, such as IL-6 and to reduce macrophage recruitment in the inflammatory sites.&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/24495950?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dapas, B</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dall'Acqua, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bulla, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agostinis, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Perissutti, B</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Invernizzi, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grassi, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Voinovich, D</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Immunomodulation mediated by a herbal syrup containing a standardized Echinacea root extract: a pilot study in healthy human subjects on cytokine gene expression.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phytomedicine</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phytomedicine</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cytokines</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Down-Regulation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Echinacea</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Glycosides</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Healthy Volunteers</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Immunomodulation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Interleukin-2</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Interleukin-6</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Interleukin-8</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lymphocytes</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%">Monocytes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pilot Projects</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Extracts</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant Roots</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 Sep 25</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1406-10</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, the immunomodulatory effect of a triply standardized Echinacea angustifolia root extract (Polinacea(®)) was evaluated in 10 healthy subjects. Ten ml of syrup containing one hundred mg of extract (corresponding to 4.7 mg of Echinacoside and 8.0mg of a high molecular weight-20,000 Da- polysaccharide) were administered as a herbal syrup once a day for one month. The immunomodulatory effect was evaluated before and after herbal syrup administration evaluating the expression levels of the cytokines IL-2, IL-8, IL-6 and TNF-α. Cytokine expression was studied in lympho-monocytes and in plasma samples measuring the mRNA and protein levels, respectively. The results were analysed by ANOVA and non-parametric Friedman rank sum tests; when possible it was adopted a pair-wise comparisons at different post-treatment times, using the paired t-tests with Holm correction. The correlation between the variations of cytokine plasma levels and the respective mRNA was carried out using a linear regression model. In lympho-monocytes our data indicate the up-regulation of the mRNA levels of IL-2 and IL-8 and the down regulation of the mRNA levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL6. The differential regulation was maximal after 14 days of treatment. IL-2 up-regulation and IL-6 down-regulation were also confirmed at the protein level in plasma. Finally, the up-regulation of the mRNA of IL-2/IL-8 and the down-regulation of IL-6 positively correlated with the protein levels detected in the plasma. In conclusion, this pilot study suggests a relevant role for the standardized Echinacea angustifolia root extract in the control of cytokine expression. This first demonstration of the immuno-modulating activity of Echinacea angustifolia root extract in the healthy subject, supports at least in part the common use of such products as health promoting supplement.&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/24877712?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Jayawardane, Mathota A M M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberico, Salvatore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piccoli, Monica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Senanayake, Hemantha M</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The implications of diagnosis of small for gestational age fetuses using European and South Asian growth charts: an outcome-based comparative study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ScientificWorldJournal</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ScientificWorldJournal</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%">Bangladesh</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Birth Weight</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Europe</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">European Continental Ancestry Group</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fetal Growth Retardation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Growth Charts</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%">Infant, Small for Gestational Age</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prognosis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sri Lanka</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%">474809</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 antenatal condition of small for gestational age (SGA) is significantly associated with perinatal morbidity and mortality and it is known that there are significant differences in birth weight and fetal size among different populations.

Three groups were identified: Group 1-SGA according to Bangladeshi growth chart; Group 2-SGA according to European growth chart but not having SGA according to Bangladeshi growth chart; Group 3-No SGA according to both charts. There was a difference in prevalence of SGA between Bangladeshi and European growth charts: 12.7% and 51.7%, respectively. There were statistically significant higher rates in emergency cesarean section, fetal distress in labour, and intrauterine death (P &lt; 0.001) in Group 1 compared with Group, 2 and 3. No differences of outcomes occurred between Groups 2 and 3. Our study demonstrated that only cases diagnosed as SGA according to population-based growth charts are at risk of adverse outcome. The use of inappropriate prenatal growth charts might lead to misdiagnosis and potential unnecessary interventions.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24592169?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Comar, Manola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Delbue, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanotta, Nunzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valencic, Erica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piscianz, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Del Savio, Rossella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tesser, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrante, Pasquale</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In vivo detection of polyomaviruses JCV and SV40 in mesenchymal stem cells from human umbilical cords.</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%">DNA, Viral</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%">Humans</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%">Mesenchymal Stromal Cells</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polyomavirus Infections</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%">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%">61</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1347-9</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;Multipotent stromal cells are present in the Wharton's jelly matrix (WJSC) of the umbilical cord and can be used as an allogeneic source of cells to treat immunological disorders. Recently it was demonstrated that adult bone marrow (BM)-derived mesenchimal stromal cells (MSC) are susceptible to infection with viruses showing potential oncogenic properties, such as the polyomavirus JC (JCV). The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of human polyomaviruses (JCV, BK Virus-BKV, SV40, and Merkel cell polyomavirus-MCPyV) in WJSC, and explore the risk of infection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PROCEDURE: &lt;/b&gt;MSC samples from 35 umbilical cords were investigated by quantitative Real Time PCRs for the presence of DNA sequences of JCV, BKV, SV40, and MCPyV.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;JCV DNA was detected in 1/35 (2.8%) of MSC samples, while SV40 DNA was found in 3/35 (8.6%) of the examined samples. None of the samples showed sequences of BKV and MCPyV.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The present study demonstrates the in vivo ability of polyomaviruses to infect WJSC. Since the therapeutic approach with the WJSC has high potentiality and a more intensive use can be easily hypothesized, the need to develop consensus guidelines to detect rare viral infections in MSC is pressing.&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/24623583?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Bonotti, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tognon, Mauro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Negro, Corrado</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cristaudo, Alfonso</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%">Increased levels of C-C chemokine RANTES in asbestos exposed workers and in malignant mesothelioma patients from an hyperendemic area.</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%">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%">Biomarkers, Tumor</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Case-Control Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chemokine CCL5</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cytokines</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Endemic Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene Expression</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene Expression Profiling</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lung Neoplasms</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%">Occupational Exposure</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Simian virus 40</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Viral Proteins</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%">e104848</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;Asbestos-induced mesothelial inflammatory processes are thought to be the basic mechanisms underlying Malignant Mesothelioma (MM) development. Detection of MM often occurs at late stage due to the long and unpredictable latent period and the low incidence in asbestos exposed individuals. The aim of this study was to investigate early immunological biomarkers to characterize the prognostic profile of a possible asbestos-induced disease, in subjects from a MM hyperendemic area.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;The Luminex Multiplex Panel Technology was used for the simultaneous measurement of serum levels of a large panel of 47 analytes, including cytokines and growth factors, from workers previously exposed to asbestos (Asb-workers), asbestos-induced MM patients and healthy subjects. In addition, to explore the influence on serum cytokines profile exerted by SV40 infection, a cofactor in MM development, a quantitative real time PCR was performed for sequences detection in the N-terminal and intronic regions of the SV40 Tag gene. Statistical analysis was done by means of the Mann-Whitney test and the Kruskall-Wallis test for variance analysis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;A variety of 25 cytokines linked to pulmonary inflammation and tumor development were found significantly associated with Asb-workers and MM patients compared with healthy controls. A specific pattern of cytokines were found highly expressed in Asb-workers: IFN-alpha (p&lt;0.05), EOTAXIN (p&lt;0.01), RANTES (p&lt;0.001), and in MM patients: IL-12(p40), IL-3, IL-1 alpha, MCP-3, beta-NGF, TNF-beta, RANTES (p&lt;0.001). Notably, the chemokine RANTES measured the highest serum level showing an increased gradient of concentration from healthy subjects to Asb-workers and MM patients (p&lt;0.001), independently of SV40 infection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;This study shows that, in subjects from an hyperendemic area for MM, the C-C chemokine RANTES is associated with the exposure to asbestos fibres. If validated in larger samples, this factor could have the potential to be a critical biomarker for MM prognosis as recently reported for breast tumor.&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/25162674?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">da Silva, G K</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vianna, Priscila</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Veit, Tiago Degani</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Catamo, Eulalia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cordero, Elvira Alicia Aparicio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mattevi, Vanessa Suñé</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lazzaretti, Rosmeri Kuhmmer</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sprinz, Eduardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kuhmmer, Regina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chies, José Artur Bogo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Influence of HLA-G polymorphisms in human immunodeficiency virus infection and hepatitis C virus co-infection in Brazilian and Italian individuals.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infect Genet Evol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infect.

All analyses were stratified by ethnicity. Genotypic, allelic and diplotypic frequencies were compared between HIV-1 infected subjects and controls using Chi-square or Fischer exact tests. Also, haplotypic frequencies were estimated using MLocus software.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;African-derived HIV-infected individuals presented a higher frequency of the 14 bp insertion allele as compared to non-infected individuals (0.468 versus 0.373, respectively; p(Bonf) = 0.010). A higher frequency of the 14 bp insertion +3142G (insG) haplotype (0.456 versus 0.346, p&lt;0.001) and the insG/insG diplotype (OR=1.88, 95%CI = 1.08-3.23, p=0.021) was observed among African-derived patients as compared to uninfected controls.

A solution containing lactulose, rhamnose, sucrose, and sucralose was administered to subjects who were on fasting; the urine excreted during 5 h was collected and measured. Samples were analyzed by gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and results were expressed as percentage of sugar recoveries and lactulose/rhamnose (L/R) ratio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The analyses showed a clear effect of low urinary volumes (≤240 mL) particularly affecting rhamnose excretion in healthy subjects and sucrose and sucralose recovery in diseased children. Despite the low rhamnose recovery, as lactulose is not similarly affected, the diagnostic reliability of L/R ratio is well preserved at low diuresis conditions. However, this ratio can be useful to discriminate acute conditions vs. clinical remissions only at high urine volumes. Data also suggest potential diagnostic applicability of sucrose and sucralose in children at high urine volumes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;In conclusion, the multi-sugar test has a good predictivity in pediatric subjects but results must be carefully interpreted in the face of reduced diuresis.&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/24108205?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toccaceli, Virgilia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Serino, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stazi, Maria Antonietta</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Informed consent, and an ethico-legal framework for paediatric observational research and biobanking: the experience of an Italian birth cohort study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Tissue Bank</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Tissue Bank</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cohort Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Confidentiality</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Databases, Genetic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Privacy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Research</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, Newborn</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information Dissemination</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Informed Consent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Internationality</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phenotype</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</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">579-90</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Birth cohort studies are important tools for life-course epidemiology, given the spectrum of the environmental, behavioural, and genetic factors that should be considered when making judgements on human health. Biobanks are valuable components of studies designed to investigate the genetic variability of diseases and improve phenotypic characterisation. In studies involving vulnerable populations and biobanks, it is essential to provide ethical reasoning and analyse the legal requirements. We describe the processes and the tools used in the iterative design of an appropriate informed consent model and the ethico-legal framework of the Piccolipiù study. The Piccolipiù study is a prospective population-based study funded by the Italian Ministry of Health that intends to enrol 3,000 newborns and their mothers in five Italian cities, and to store biological samples for future use. To realise these objectives, we performed a thorough evaluation of the literature, of national and international guidelines, and of the impact of the Italian legal requirements for research biobanking. Discussions among stakeholders facilitated the design of the informed consent and the ethico-legal framework. Several topics are addressed, including the suitability of a broad informed consent for paediatric biobanks, infant vulnerability, access to and sharing of data, and the disclosure of individual's genetic results. Discussion of the ethical and legal procedures adopted in epidemiological biobanking might be a fruitful ground for comparison both at the national level, where standardization and homogeneity are lacking, and at the international level, where different regulatory issues are often in the background and might hamper research biobanks networking.&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/24595523?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valencic, Erica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Loganes, Claudia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cesana, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piscianz, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gaipa, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biagi, Ettore</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%">Inhibition of mesenchymal stromal cells by pre-activated lymphocytes and their culture media.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stem Cell Res Ther</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stem Cell Res Ther</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CD4-Positive T-Lymphocytes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CD8-Positive T-Lymphocytes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Proliferation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Survival</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cells, Cultured</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coculture Techniques</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Culture Media, Conditioned</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cytokines</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Killer Cells, Natural</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lymphocyte Activation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mesenchymal Stromal Cells</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%">5</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</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;Despite having a proven immunosuppressive potential in vitro, human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are reported to display variable efficacy in vivo and, in fact, their proven benefit in the clinical practice is still limited and controversial.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;The interplay between clinical grade MSCs and pre-activated donor lymphocytes or selected lymphocyte subsets was studied in vitro. The kinetics of MSC growth and viability was evaluated by adhesion-dependent changes of culture plate impedance and biochemically by a colorimetric assay. Activation of natural killer (NK) cells was assessed as well, using a flow cytometry assay.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;A strong inhibition of MSC growth was rapidly induced by the addition of pre-activated lymphocytes but not of resting lymphocytes. Inhibition seems not to be attributable to a single cell population, as similar results can be obtained by depleting NK cells or by using either selected CD4+ or CD8+ lymphocytes. In addition, conditioned medium (CM) from activated lymphocytes was able to inhibit MSC growth in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, licensing with IFN-γ partially protected MSCs from pre-activated lymphocytes but not from their CM. These results suggest an inhibitory role of lymphocyte-activation-derived substances. However, the identification of a single molecule responsible for MSC inhibition remained elusive, even if preliminary experiments showed that ATP and, to a lesser extent, TNF-α might play a role.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;These results suggest that survival of MSCs can be affected by soluble mediators released by activated lymphocytes. Thus it can be hypothesized that MSC immunosuppressive action in vivo could be impaired by ongoing immune activation through the release of inflammatory mediators.&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/24405828?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Iorio, Annamaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bobbo, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Eustacchio, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Merlo, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ulivi, Sheila</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sinagra, Gianfranco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Insight into genetic determinants of resting heart rate.</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%">Calnexin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cardiovascular Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA-Binding Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genome-Wide Association Study</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Haplotypes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heart Rate</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%">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%">Regression Analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transcription Factors</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 15</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">545</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">170-4</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;Recent studies suggested that resting heart rate (RHR) might be an independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Nonetheless, the interrelation between RHR and cardiovascular diseases is not clear. In order to resolve this puzzle, the importance of genetic determinants of RHR has been recently suggested, but it needs to be further investigated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;The aim of this study was to estimate the contribution of common genetic variations on RHR using Genome Wide Association Study.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We performed a Genome Wide Association Study in an isolated population cohort of 1737 individuals, the Italian Network on Genetic Isolates - Friuli Venezia Giulia (INGI-FVG). Moreover, a haplotype analysis was performed. A regression tree analysis was run to highlight the effect of each haplotype combination on the phenotype.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;A significant level of association (p&lt;5 × 10(-8)) was detected for Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in two genes expressed in the heart: MAML1 and CANX. Founding that the three different variants of the haplotype, which encompass both genes, yielded a phenotypic correlation. Indeed, a haplotype in homozygosity is significantly associated with the lower quartile of RHR (RHR ≤ 58 bpm). Moreover no significant association was found between cardiovascular risk factors and the different haplotype combinations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Mastermind-like 1 and Calnexin were found to be associated with RHR. We demonstrated a relation between a haplotype and the lower quartile of RHR in our populations. Our findings highlight that genetic determinants of RHR may be implicated in determining cardiovascular diseases and could allow a better risk stratification.&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/24680774?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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, Luisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polesello, Vania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Catamo, Eulalia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, Ludovica</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Interleukin-10 gene promoter polymorphisms in celiac patients from north-eastern Italy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum.

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%">Mazzucco, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benini, Luigi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gallione, Carol</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">d'Adamo, Pio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girelli, Domenico</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Juvenile stroke in combined syndrome of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia and juvenile polyposis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neurol Sci</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neurol.

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%">Celeghini, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Not, Tarcisio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Norcio, Alessia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</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%">Levels of circulating TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand in celiac disease.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Exp Ther Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Exp Ther Med</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 Dec</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1906-1908</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 has previously been demonstrated that the circulating levels of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) are significantly lower in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) than in normal age- and gender-matched controls. Since celiac disease (CD) is often associated with T1D, a retrospective study was performed to analyze the sera of a cohort of pediatric subjects: i) patients with CD at onset (n=100); ii) patients with potential CD (n=45); iii) patients with CD associated with other auto-immune diseases (n=17); and iv) patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (n=15). Among the patients with CD, 49 were also analyzed after six months on a gluten-free diet, while data were also available for 13 patients after one year on a gluten-free diet. No significant differences were found in the circulating levels of TRAIL between the patients with CD and the patients with either eosinophilic esophagitis or potential CD. Patients with CD associated with other auto-immune diseases showed significantly lower levels of TRAIL when compared with patients with CD alone. The gluten-free diet did not significantly modify the levels of circulating TRAIL at 6 or 12 months. Thus, although T1D and CD share common immunological features, the circulating levels of TRAIL show a significant difference between the two pathologies, and do not appear to be modulated in CD.&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/25371753?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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 Azevêdo Silva, Jaqueline</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pancotto, João Alexandre Trés</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Donadi, Eduardo Antônio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandrin-Garcia, Paula</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LIG4 and RAD52 DNA repair genes polymorphisms and systemic lupus erythematosus.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Biol Rep</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol.

Nevertheless, SLE might also be triggered due to environmental factors, such as UV light exposure. DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) may be induced secondarily by UV radiation, increasing DNA immunogenicity and in SLE patients DNA repair is diminished, allowing the accumulation of DSBs and genomic instability. LIG4 and RAD52 genes play important roles in DNA repair mechanisms and a recent microarray analysis showed their differential expression in active SLE patients. In this study we investigated a potential association between LIG4 and RAD52 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and SLE predisposition in a Southeast Brazilian population. We assessed four Tag SNPs in LIG4 and three in RAD52 gene region, encompassing most of the gene sequence, in 158 SLE patients and 212 healthy controls. We also performed SNPs analysis considering clinical manifestation, gender and ethnicity in SLE patients. Our data did not show association between LIG4 and RAD52 SNPs and SLE, its clinical manifestations or ethnicity in the tested population. The analysis regarding ethnicity and SLE clinical manifestations indicated Caucasian-derived patients as more susceptible to cutaneous and hematological alterations than the African-derived. To our knowledge, this is the first association study involving LIG4 and RAD52 genes and SLE predisposition.&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/24415301?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Verrotti, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Moavero, Romina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vigevano, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cantonetti, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guerra, Azzurra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spezia, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tricarico, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nanni, Giuliana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agostinelli, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chiarelli, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parisi, Pasquale</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Capovilla, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beccaria, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spalice, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coppola, Giangennaro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Franzoni, Emilio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gentile, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Casellato, Susanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Veggiotti, Pierangelo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Malgesini, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crichiutti, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Balestri, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grosso, Salvatore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zamponi, Nelia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Incorpora, Gemma</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savasta, Salvatore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Costa, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pruna, Dario</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cusmai, Raffaella</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Long-term follow-up in children with benign convulsions associated with gastroenteritis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur J Paediatr Neurol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur.

However, these data need to be confirmed in studies with longer follow-up evaluations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AIM: &lt;/b&gt;To assess the long-term neurological outcome of a large sample of children presenting with CwG.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We reviewed clinical features of 81 subjects presenting with CwG (1994-2010) from three different Italian centers with a follow-up period of at least 3 years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Follow-up period ranged from 39 months to 15 years (mean 9.8 years). Neurological examination and cognitive level at the last evaluation were normal in all the patients. A mild attention deficit was detected in three cases (3.7%). Fourteen children (17.3%) received chronic anti-epileptic therapy. Interictal EEG abnormalities detected at onset in 20 patients (24.7%) reverted to normal. Transient EEG epileptiform abnormalities were detected in other three cases (3.7%), and a transient photosensitivity in one (1.2%). No recurrence of CwG was observed. Three patients (3.7%) presented with a febrile seizure and two (2.5%) with an unprovoked seizure, but none developed epilepsy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The long-term

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" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25165691?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bianco, Anna Monica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girardelli, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vozzi, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kleiner, Giulio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mevalonate kinase deficiency and IBD: shared genetic background.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gut</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gut</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><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%">Inflammatory Bowel Diseases</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%">63</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1367-8</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/24531851?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boding, Lasse</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hansen, Ann K</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meroni, Germana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Johansen, Bo B</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Braunstein, Thomas H</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bonefeld, Charlotte M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kongsbak, Martin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jensen, Benjamin A H</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Woetmann, Anders</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thomsen, Allan R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Odum, Niels</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">von Essen, Marina R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Geisler, Carsten</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Midline 1 directs lytic granule exocytosis and cytotoxicity of mouse killer T cells.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur J Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur.

Loss-of-function mutations in MID1 lead to the X-linked Opitz G/BBB syndrome characterized by defective midline development during embryogenesis. Here, we show that MID1 is strongly upregulated in murine cytotoxic lymphocytes (CTLs), and that it controls TCR signaling, centrosome trafficking, and exocytosis of lytic granules. In accordance, we find that the killing capacity of MID1(-/-) CTLs is impaired. Transfection of MID1 into MID1(-/-) CTLs completely rescued lytic granule exocytosis, and vice versa, knockdown of MID1 inhibited exocytosis of lytic granules in WT CTLs, cementing a central role for MID1 in the regulation of granule exocytosis. Thus, MID1 orchestrates multiple events in CTL responses, adding a novel level of regulation to CTL activation and cytotoxicity.&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/25043946?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Zauli, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gianesini, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Menegatti, Erica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brunelli, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Manfredini, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zamboni, Paolo</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%">Modulation of circulating cytokine-chemokine profile in patients affected by chronic venous insufficiency undergoing surgical hemodynamic correction.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Immunol Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Immunol Res</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%">Chemokines</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chronic Disease</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%">Hemodynamics</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%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Saphenous Vein</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Varicose Veins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Venous Insufficiency</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%">473765</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 proinflammatory cytokines/chemokines has been reported in in vitro/ex vivo settings of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), but the identification of circulating mediators that might be associated with altered hemodynamic forces or might represent innovative biomarkers is still missing. In this study, the circulating levels of 31 cytokines/chemokines involved in inflammatory/angiogenic processes were analysed in (i) CVI patients at baseline before surgical hemody namic correction, (ii) healthy subjects, and (iii) CVI patients after surgery. In a subgroup of CVI patients, in whom the baseline levels of cytokines/chemokines were analyzed in paired blood samples obtained from varicose vein and forearm vein, EGF, PDGF, and RANTES were increased at the varicose vein site as compared to the general circulation. Moreover, while at baseline, CVI patients showed increased levels of 14 cytokines/chemokines as compared to healthy subjects, 6 months after surgery, 11 cytokines/chemokines levels were significantly reduced in the treated CVI patients as compared to the CVI patients before surgery. Of note, a patient who exhibited recurrence of the disease 6 months after surgery, showed higher levels of EGF, PDGF, and RANTES compared to nonrecurrent patients, highlighting the potential role of the EGF/PDGF/RANTES triad as sensitive biomarkers in the context of CVI.&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.

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%">Bordugo, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carlin, Eva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Demarini, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faletra, Flavio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Colonna, Franco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A neonate with a 'milky' blood.

This study analyzed serum samples from healthy pregnant women as well as cord blood samples to determine the prevalence of SV40 antibodies in pregnancy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Serum samples were collected at the time of delivery from two groups of pregnant women as well as cord bloods from one group. The women were born between 1967 and 1993. Samples were assayed by two different serological methods, one group by neutralization of viral infectivity and the other by indirect ELISA employing specific SV40 mimotopes as antigens. Viral DNA assays by real-time polymerase chain reaction were carried out on blood samples.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Neutralization and ELISA tests indicated that the pregnant women were SV40 antibody-positive with overall prevalences of 10.6% (13/123) and 12.7% (14/110), respectively. SV40 neutralizing antibodies were detected in a low number of cord blood samples. Antibody titers were generally low. No viral DNA was detected in either maternal or cord bloods.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;SV40-specific serum antibodies were detected in pregnant women at the time of delivery and in cord bloods. There was no evidence of transplacental transmission of SV40. These data indicate that SV40 is circulating at a low prevalence in the northern Italian population long after the use of contaminated vaccines.&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/25335106?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Licastro, Danilo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faletra, Flavio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabretto, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dipresa, Savina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vozzi, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morgan, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">d'Adamo, Adamo P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecile, Vanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biarnés, Xevi</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%">Next generation sequencing in nonsyndromic intellectual disability: from a negative molecular karyotype to a possible causative mutation detection.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Med Genet A</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am.

Despite molecular diagnostics improvements, the vast majority of patients still remain without genetic diagnosis. Here, we report the results obtained using Whole Exome and Target Sequencing on nine patients affected by isolated ID without pathological copy number variations, which were accurately selected from an initial cohort of 236 patients. Three patterns of inheritance were used to search for: (1) de novo, (2) X-linked, and (3) autosomal recessive variants. In three of the nine proband-parent trios analyzed, we identified and validated two de novo and one X-linked potentially causative mutations located in three ID-related genes. We proposed three genes as ID candidate, carrying one de novo and three X-linked mutations.

The constitutive activation of NF-κB is typical of most malignancies and plays a major role in tumorigenesis. In this review, we describe NF-κB and its two pathways: the canonical pathway (RelA/p50) and the non-canonical pathway (RelB/p50 or RelB/p52). We then consider the role of the NF-κB subunits in the development and functional activity of B cells, T cells, macrophages and dendritic cells, which are the targets of hematological malignancies. The relevance of the two pathways is described in normal B and T cells and in hematological malignancies, acute and chronic leukemias (ALL, AML, CLL, CML), B lymphomas (DLBCLs, Hodgkin's lymphoma), T lymphomas (ATLL, ALCL) and multiple myeloma. We describe the interaction of NF-κB with the apoptotic pathways induced by TRAIL and the transcription factor p53. Finally, we discuss therapeutic anti-tumoral approaches as mono-therapies or combination therapies aimed to block NF-κB activity and to induce apoptosis (PARAs and Nutlin-3).&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/24419302?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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 Jiro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pontillo, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guimarães, Rafael Lima</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Loureiro, Paula</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brandão, Lucas André Cavalcanti</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NLRP3 polymorphism is associated with protection against human T-lymphotropic virus 1 infection.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mem.

The antiviral activity of the inflammasome cytoplasmic complex recognises viral molecular patterns and regulates immune responses via the activation of interleukin (IL)-1 family (IL-1, IL-18 and IL-33) members. The association between polymorphisms in the inflammasome receptors NLRP1 and NLRP3 and HTLV-1 infection was evaluated in a northeastern Brazilian population (84 HTLV-1 carriers and 155 healthy controls). NLRP3 rs10754558 G/G was associated with protection against HTLV-1 infection (p = 0.012; odds ratio = 0.37). rs10754558 affects NLRP3 mRNA stability; therefore, our results suggest that higher NLRP3 expression may augment first-line defences, leading to the effective protection against HTLV-1 infection.&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/25411003?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Del Savio, Rossella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vascotto, Fulvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calabrese, Nadia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zorat, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pozzato, Gabriele</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">No evidence of Polyomavirus and EBV infections in Italian patients with mixed cryoglobulinemia infected chronically with HCV.</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.

In patients chronically affected by HCV the prevalence of mixed cryoglobulinemia is variable ranging from 0% to 56%. To verify whether polyomaviruses (PyV) play a role in this disorder a total of 222 blood samples from 63 HCV chronic patients, 43 with mixed cryoglobulinemia, 59 chronic lymphocytic leukemia, 50 polytransfused patients, and 50 blood donors were evaluated for Merkel (MCPyV), BKV, JCV, and SV40. EBV was additionally included in the analysis since association with this disorder has been reported. Mixed cryoglobulinemia patients infected chronically with HCV resulted negative for both PyV and EBV. MCPyV was found in 1 subject with Merkel Cell Carcinoma, in 10% of polytransfused and in 10% of blood donors while EBV was detected in 22% of polytransfused, 10% of B-cell lymphatic leukemia patients and 4% of blood donors (P &lt; 0.01). Taken together, the absence of PyV and EBV in HCV-mixed cryoglobulinemia patients seems to exclude a direct involvement of these viruses in the pathogenesis of this disease while the presence of MCPyV in healthy individuals, at the same rate as in polytransfused patients, may reinforce data on a minimal role of this virus in other human pathologies.&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/24374940?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Catamo, Eulalia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zupin, Luisa</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><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, Ludovica</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Non-classical MHC-I human leukocyte antigen (HLA-G) in hepatotropic viral infections and in hepatocellular carcinoma.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum.

The HLA-G presents immunomodulatory functions essential in pregnancy for the tolerance of the semi-allogenic fetus, but an abnormal expression of HLA-G has been observed in numerous pathological conditions, such as tumors, autoimmune diseases and viral infections. In recent years, numerous studies have assessed the clinical relevance of HLA-G expression in different types of cancer: in general, a higher HLA-G expression correlates with a lower survival rate or a shorter disease-free survival. Altered expression of HLA-G has been found in both HCV and HBV infection, and some genetic polymorphisms have been associated with altered susceptibility/disease development for these infections, however, whether the biologic role of HLA-G in HCV and HBV infection is beneficial or hazardous, it is not completely clear. In the context of hepatocellular carcinoma, HLA-G has shown a potential diagnostic role, moreover a prognostic value in HCC patients has been also attributed to HLA-G molecules. We revise here the role of HLA-G in hepatotropic HBV/HCV infections and in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).&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/25318079?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Durigutto, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sblattero, Daniele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Borghi, Maria O</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grossi, Claudia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guida, Filomena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bulla, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Macor, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnolato, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meroni, Pier Luigi</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%">A non-complement-fixing antibody to β2 glycoprotein I as a novel therapy for antiphospholipid syndrome.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blood</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blood</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Abortion, Spontaneous</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antibodies, Monoclonal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antiphospholipid Syndrome</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Autoantigens</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">beta 2-Glycoprotein I</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Complement Activation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Complement System Proteins</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%">Immunoglobulin G</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%">Protein Binding</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rats</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Recombinant Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Single-Chain Antibodies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thrombosis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trophoblasts</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 May 29</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">123</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3478-87</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;A single-chain fragment variable (scFv) recognizing β2-glycoprotein 1 (β2GPI) from humans and other species was isolated from a human phage display library and engineered to contain an IgG1 hinge-CH2-CH3 domain. The scFv-Fc directed against β2GPI domain I-induced thrombosis and fetal loss, thus mimicking the effect of antibodies from patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Complement is involved in the biological effect of anti-β2GPI scFv-Fc, as demonstrated by its ability to promote in vitro and in vivo complement deposition and the failure to induce vascular thrombosis in C6-deficient rats and fetal loss in C5-depleted mice. A critical role for complement was also supported by the inability of the CH2-deleted scFv-Fc to cause vessel occlusion and pregnancy failure. This antibody prevented the pathological effects of anti-β2GPI antibodies from APS patients and displaced β2GPI-bound patient antibodies. The CH2-deleted antibody represents an innovative approach potentially useful to treat APS patients refractory to standard therapy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24642748?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Girardelli, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vuch, Josef</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bianco, Anna Monica</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Novel missense mutation in the NOD2 gene in a patient with early onset ulcerative colitis: causal or chance association?</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%">Age of Onset</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amino Acid Sequence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Base Sequence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Colitis, Ulcerative</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crohn Disease</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA Mutational Analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Predisposition to Disease</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%">Interleukin-10 Receptor alpha Subunit</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Interleukin-10 Receptor beta Subunit</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molecular Sequence Data</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mutation, Missense</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nod2 Signaling Adaptor Protein</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sequence Homology, Amino Acid</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%">15</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3834-41</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Deregulated immune response to gut microflora in genetically predisposed individuals is typical for inflammatory bowel diseases. It is reasonable to assume that genetic association with the disease will be more pronounced in subjects with early onset than adult onset. The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain containing-2 gene, commonly involved in multifactorial risk of Crohn's disease, and interleukin 10 receptor genes, associated with rare forms of early onset inflammatory bowel diseases, were sequenced in an early onset patient. We identified a novel variant in the NOD2 gene (c.2857A &gt; G p.K953E) and two already described missense variants in the IL10RA gene (S159G and G351R). The new NOD2 missense variant was examined in silico with two online bioinformatics tools to predict the potentially deleterious effects of the mutation. Although cumulative effect of these variations in the early onset of the disease can be only hypothesized, we demonstrated that family information and in silico studies can be used to predict association with the disease.&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/24595243?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Girotto, Giorgia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">d'Adamo, Adamo Pio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vozzi, Diego</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morgan, Anna</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 novel P2RX2 mutation in an Italian family affected by autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss.</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%">Amino Acid Sequence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Deafness</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">European Continental Ancestry Group</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%">Hearing Loss, Sensorineural</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%">Molecular Sequence Data</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mutation, Missense</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pedigree</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Receptors, Purinergic P2X2</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 Jan 25</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">534</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">236-9</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Hereditary hearing loss (HHL) is a common disorder accounting for at least 60% of prelingual deafness. It is characterized by a large genetic heterogeneity, and despite the presence of a major gene, still there is a need to search for new causative mutations/genes. Very recently, a mutation within ATP-gated P2X(2) receptor (ligand-gated ion channel, purinergic receptor 2) gene (P2RX2) at DNFA41 locus has been reported leading to a bilateral and symmetrical sensorineural non-syndromic autosomal dominant HHL in two Chinese families. We performed a linkage analysis in a large Italian family with a dominant pattern of inheritance showing a significant 3.31 LOD score in a 2Mb region overlapping with the DNFA41 locus. Molecular analyses of P2RX2 identified a novel missense mutation (p.Gly353Arg) affecting a residue highly conserved across species. Visual inspection of the protein structure as obtained from comparative modeling suggests that substitution of the small glycine residue with a charged bulky residue such as an arginine that is close to the 'neck' of the region responsible for ion channel gating should have a high energetic cost and should lead to a severely destabilization of the fold. The identification of a second most likely causative mutation in P2RX2 gene further supports the possible role of this gene in causing autosomal dominant HHL.&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/24211385?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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" size="100%">24</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25587027?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Guarino, Stefano</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%">Paracetamol: a focus for the general pediatrician.</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.

This drug has multiple mechanisms of action, but its pharmacodynamic is still not well known. The central nervous system is the main site of action and it mirrors the paracetamol effect compartment. The recommended dosages and routes of administration should be different whether paracetamol is used for the treatment of pain or fever. For example, the rectal route, while being efficacious for the treatment of fever, should be avoided in pain management. Paracetamol is a safe drug, but some clinical conditions and concomitant drugs, which are frequent in clinical practice, may increase the risk of paracetamol toxicity. Therefore, it is important to optimize its administration to avoid overdoses and maximize its effect. The principal mediator of the paracetamol toxicity is the N-acetyl-p-benzo-quinone imine (NAPQI), a toxic product of the paracetamol metabolism, which could bind cysteine groups on proteins forming paracetamol-protein adduct in the liver.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Although frequently prescribed, the concept of &quot;effect compartment concentration&quot; and the possible co-factors that could cause toxicity at recommended doses are not familiar to all pediatricians and general practitioners. We reviewed the literature concerning paracetamol mechanisms of action, we highlighted some relevant pharmacodynamic concepts for clinical practice, and we summarized the possible risk factors for toxicity at therapeutic dosages.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

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" font="default" size="100%">7520</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25231870?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Pelin, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Franca, Raffaella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Iudicibus, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cuzzoni, Eva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Favretto, Diego</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></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pharmacogenetics of azathioprine in inflammatory bowel disease: a role for glutathione-S-transferase?</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.

In vivo it is active after reaction with reduced glutathione (GSH) and conversion to mercaptopurine. Although this reaction may occur spontaneously, the presence of isoforms M and A of the enzyme glutathione-S-transferase (GST) may increase its speed. Indeed, in pediatric patients with IBD, deletion of GST-M1, which determines reduced enzymatic activity, was recently associated with reduced sensitivity to azathioprine and reduced production of azathioprine active metabolites. In addition to increase the activation of azathioprine to mercaptopurine, GSTs may contribute to azathioprine effects even by modulating GSH consumption, oxidative stress and apoptosis. Therefore, genetic polymorphisms in genes for GSTs may be useful to predict response to azathioprine even if more in vitro and clinical validation studies are needed.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">13</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

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%">Ura, Blendi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Feriotto, Giordana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bilel, Sabrine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zweyer, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celeghini, Claudio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Potential role of circulating microRNAs as early markers of preeclampsia.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taiwan J Obstet Gynecol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taiwan J 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%">Biomarkers</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%">MicroRNAs</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oligonucleotide Array Sequence Analysis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pilot Projects</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%">Retrospective Studies</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</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">53</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">232-4</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;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;To identify microRNAs (miRNAs) differentially expressed at early stages of gestation (12-14 weeks) in the serum of pregnant women, who later developed severe preeclampsia (sPE) in the third trimester of pregnancy (n = 24) compared to women with normal pregnancy (n = 24).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MATERIALS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Sera from 12-14-week-gestation whole blood were subjected to microarray analysis with TaqMan Low Density Array chips (human microRNA panel V3.0), and to quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;By using the TaqMan Low Density Array chip technology, 19 mature miRNAs appeared differentially expressed in the group of women who later developed sPE as compared to normal women. The expression of four miRNAs (miR-1233, miR-520, miR-210, miR-144) was validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis. MiR-1233 was the most overexpressed in the serum of women who later developed sPE.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Circulating miRNAs deserve further investigation in order to explore their potential role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.

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. The results provide some useful insights into the differential benefits of using audiovisual aids at different times during the first year of life of the baby.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;TRIAL REGISTRATION: &lt;/b&gt;ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02120430.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25193490?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cova, Maria Assunta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stacul, Fulvio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quaranta, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guastalla, Pierpaolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Salvatori, Guglielmo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Banderali, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fonda, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">David, Vincenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gregori, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zuppa, Antonio Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Davanzo, Riccardo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radiological contrast media in the breastfeeding woman: a position paper of the Italian Society of Radiology (SIRM), the Italian Society of Paediatrics (SIP), the Italian Society of Neonatology (SIN) and the Task Force on Breastfeeding, Ministry of Health</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur Radiol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur Radiol</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Breast Feeding</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Contrast Media</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%">Italy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neonatology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Practice Guidelines as Topic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Radiology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Societies, Medical</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%">24</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012-22</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVES: &lt;/b&gt;Breastfeeding is a well-recognised investment in the health of the mother-infant dyad. Nevertheless, many professionals still advise breastfeeding mothers to temporarily discontinue breastfeeding after contrast media imaging. Therefore, we performed this review to provide health professionals with basic knowledge and skills for appropriate use of contrast media.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A joint working group of the Italian Society of Radiology (SIRM), Italian Society of Paediatrics (SIP), Italian Society of Neonatology (SIN) and Task Force on Breastfeeding, Ministry of Health, Italy prepared a review of the relevant medical literature on the safety profile of contrast media for the nursing infant/child.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Breastfeeding is safe for the nursing infant of any post-conceptional age after administration of the majority of radiological contrast media to the mother; only gadolinium-based agents considered at high risk of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (gadopentetate dimeglumine, gadodiamide, gadoversetamide) should be avoided in the breastfeeding woman as a precaution; there is no need to temporarily discontinue breastfeeding or to express and discard breast milk following the administration of contrast media assessed as compatible with breastfeeding.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Breastfeeding women should receive unambiguous professional advice and clear encouragement to continue breastfeeding after imaging with the compatible contrast media.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;KEY POINTS: &lt;/b&gt;• Breastfeeding is a well-known investment in the health of the mother-infant dyad. • Breastfeeding is safe after administration of contrast media to the mother. • There is no need to temporarily discontinue breastfeeding following administration of contrast media.&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/24838733?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Revello, Maria Grazia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lazzarotto, Tiziana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guerra, Brunella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spinillo, Arsenio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrazzi, Enrico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kustermann, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guaschino, Secondo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vergani, Patrizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Todros, Tullia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Frusca, Tiziana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arossa, Alessia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Furione, Milena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rognoni, Vanina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rizzo, Nicola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gabrielli, Liliana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Klersy, Catherine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gerna, Giuseppe</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CHIP Study Group</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A randomized trial of hyperimmune globulin to prevent congenital cytomegalovirus.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">N Engl J Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">N.

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. The aim of the study was to evaluate the independent role of pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), gestational weight gain and gestational diabetes on the risk of macrosomia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A prospective study collected data on mode of delivery and maternal/neonatal outcomes in eleven Hospitals in Italy. Multiple pregnancies and preterm deliveries were excluded. The sample included 14109 women with complete records. Associations between exposure variables and newborn macrosomia were analyzed using Pearson's chi squared test. 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.

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%">Calitri, Carmelina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gabiano, Clara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Galli, Luisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chiappini, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giaquinto, Carlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Buffolano, Wilma</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genovese, Orazio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Esposito, Susanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bernardi, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Martino, Maurizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tovo, Pier-Angelo</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italian Register for HIV Infection in Children</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The second generation of HIV-1 vertically exposed infants: a case series from the Italian Register for paediatric HIV infection.</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.

They had started an antiretroviral therapy at a median of 7.7 years (interquartile range, IQR 2.3 - 11.4), and had experienced a median of 4 therapeutic regimens (IQR 2-6). Twenty women (87%) had taken zidovudine (AZT) before pregnancy, in 14 cases as a starting monotherapy. In 21 pregnancies a protease inhibitor-based regimen was used. At delivery, the median of CD4+ T lymphocytes was 450/μL (IQR 275-522), and no viral load was detectable in 15 cases (reported in 21 pregnancies). Twenty-eight children were delivered through caesarean section (median gestational age: 38 weeks, IQR 36-38, median birth weight: 2550 grams, IQR 2270 - 3000). Intravenous AZT was administered during delivery in 26 cases. All children received oral AZT (median: 42 days, IQR 31 - 42), with no adverse events reported. No child acquired HIV-1 infection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Despite a long history of maternal infection, multiple antiretroviral regimens and, perhaps, the development of drug-resistant viruses, the risk of mother-to-child transmission does not seem to have increased among the second-generation of HIV-1 exposed infants.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24885649?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Naviglio, Samuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arrigo, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelossi, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Villanacci, Vincenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Loganes, Claudia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabretto, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vignola, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lonardi, Silvia</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%">Severe inflammatory bowel disease associated with congenital alteration of transforming growth factor beta signaling.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Crohns Colitis</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Crohns Colitis</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%">Colon</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Colonoscopy</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%">Inflammatory Bowel Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Loeys-Dietz Syndrome</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Signal Transduction</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transforming Growth Factor beta</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%">8</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">770-4</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Transforming growth factor beta is a pleiotropic cytokine which plays a central role in the homeostasis of the immune system. A complex dysregulation of its signaling occurs in Loeys-Dietz syndrome, a monogenic disorder caused by mutations of transforming growth factor beta receptors type 1 or type 2, characterized by skeletal involvement, craniofacial abnormalities, and arterial tortuosity with a strong predisposition for aneurysm and dissection. In addition, several immunologic abnormalities have been described in these patients, including an increased risk of allergic disorders as well as eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders. The occurrence of inflammatory bowel disorders has been also reported, but it is poorly documented. We describe two unrelated children with Loeys-Dietz syndrome affected by severe chronic inflammatory colitis appearing at an early age. The intestinal disease presented similar features in both patients, including a histopathological picture of non-eosinophilic chronic ulcerative colitis, striking elevation of inflammatory markers, and a distinctly severe clinical course leading to failure to thrive, with resistance to multiple immunosuppressive treatments. One of the patients also presented autoimmune thyroiditis. Our report confirms that chronic ulcerative colitis may be associated with Loeys-Dietz syndrome. This finding suggests that an alteration of transforming growth factor beta signaling may by itself predispose to inflammatory colitis in humans, and represent an invaluable model to understand inflammatory bowel diseases.&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/24486179?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Lega, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montico, Marcella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Panontin, Elisa</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%">Severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and UGT1A1 promoter polymorphism.</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.

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%">J, De Azevêdo Silva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">C, Addobbati</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">P, Sandrin-Garcia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">S, Crovella</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Old and New Susceptibility Genes versus Clinical Manifestations.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr Genomics</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr.

The formation of autoantibodies and the deposition of antibody-containing immune complexes in blood vessels throughout the body is the main pathogenic mechanism of SLE leading to heterogeneous clinical manifestations and target tissue damage. The complexity of etiology and pathogenesis in SLE, enclosing genetic and environmental factors, apparently is one of the greatest challenges for both researchers and clinicians. Strong indications for a genetic background in SLE come from studies in families as well as in monozygotic and dizygotic twins, discovering several SLE-associated loci and genes (e.g. IRF5, PTPN22, CTLA4, STAT4 and BANK1). As SLE has a complex genetic background, none of these genes is likely to be entirely responsible for triggering autoimmune response in SLE even if they disclosure a potentially novel molecular mechanisms in the pathogenesis' disease. The clinical manifestations and disease severity varies greatly among patients, thus several studies try to associate clinical heterogeneity and prognosis with specific genetic polymorphisms in SLE associated genes. The continue effort to describe new predisposing or modulating genes in SLE is justified by the limited knowledge about the pathogenesis, assorted clinical manifestation and the possible prevention strategies. In this review we describe newly discovered, as well as the most studied genes associated to SLE susceptibility, and relate them to clinical manifestations 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/24653663?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zennaro, Floriana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grosso, Daniele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fascetta, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marini, Marta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Odoni, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Carlo, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dibello, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vittoria, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lazzerini, Marzia</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Teleradiology for remote consultation using iPad improves the use of health system human resources for paediatric fractures: prospective controlled study in a tertiary care hospital in Italy.</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><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%">Computers, Handheld</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decision Making</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fractures, Bone</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%">Prospective Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Remote Consultation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Teleradiology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Time Factors</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%">327</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 growing cost of health care and lack of specialised staff have set e-Health high on the European political agenda. In a prospective study we evaluated the effect of providing images for remote consultation through an iPad on the number of in-hospital orthopaedic consultations for children with bone fractures.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Children from 0 to 18 years diagnosed with a bone fracture by the radiologist during the hours when an orthopaedic service is provided only on-call were eligible for enrollment. Cases were enrolled prospectively during September and October 2013. A standard approach (verbal information only, no X-Ray provided remotely) was compared to an experimental approach (standard approach plus the provision of X-ray for remote consultation through an iPad). The primary outcome was the number of orthopaedic in-hospital consultations that occurred. Other outcomes included: immediate activation of other services; time needed for decision-making; technical difficulties; quality of images and diagnostic confidence (on a likert scale of 1 to 10).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Forty-two children were enrolled in the study. Number of in-hospital consultancies dropped from 32/42 (76.1%) when no X-ray was provided to 16/42 (38%) when the X-rays was provided (p &lt; 0.001). With remote X-ray consultation in 14/42 (33.3%) cases services such as surgery and plaster room could be immediately activated, compared to no service activated without teleradiology (p &lt; 0.001). Average time for decision making was 23.4 ± 21.8 minutes with remote X-ray consultation, compared to 56.2 ± 16.1 when the X-ray was not provided (p &lt; 0.001). The comparison between images on the iPad and on the standard system for X- Ray visualisation resulted in a non statistically significant difference in the quality of images (average score 9.89 ± 0.37 vs 9.91 ± 0.30; p = 0.79), and in non statistically significant difference in diagnostic confidence (average score 9.91 ± 0.32 vs 9.92 ± 0.31; p = 0.88).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Remote X-ray consultation through Aycan OsiriX PRO and iPad should be considered as a means for reducing the need of in-hospital orthopaedic consultation during on-call times, and potentially decrease the cost of care for the health system. In the future, alternative systems less expensive than Aycan OsiriX PRO should be further developed and tested.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25070705?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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).

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%">Sartore, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zennaro, Floriana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Banco, Rubina</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">An unusual long-term complication of transobturator polypropylene mesh.</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.

We could hypothesize that the posterior arm of the mesh caused a laceration of the muscles of the obturator space with consequent oedema and pain. The use of the meshes in prolapse surgery can cause unexpected long-term complications.&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/25022558?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mattioli, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pianigiani, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Rocco, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bianco, Anna Monica Rosaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cappelli, Enrico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savoia, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pagani, Franco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Unusual splice site mutations disrupt FANCA exon 8 definition.</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.

In a patient with Fanconi anemia, we identified two unpredictable splicing mutations that act on either sides of FANCA exon 8. In patients-derived cells and in minigene splicing assay, we showed that both an apparently benign intronic c.710-5T&gt;C transition and the nonsense c.790C&gt;T substitution induce almost complete exon 8 skipping. Site-directed mutagenesis experiments indicated that the c.710-5T&gt;C transition affects a polypyrimidine tract where most of the thymidines cannot be compensated by cytidines. The c.790C&gt;T mutation located in position -3 relative to the donor site induce exon 8 skipping in an NMD-independent manner and complementation experiments with modified U1 snRNAs showed that U1 snRNP is only partially involved in the splicing defect. Our results highlight the importance of performing splicing functional assay for correct identification of disease-causing mechanism of genomic variants and provide mechanistic insights on how these two FANCA mutations affect exon 8 definition.&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/24704046?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Martelossi, Stefano</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%">Use of placebo in a trial of thalidomide for pediatric Crohn disease--reply.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JAMA</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JAMA</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crohn Disease</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%">Immunosuppressive Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thalidomide</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 26</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">311</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1251-2</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><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/24668112?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Singh, Prashant</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wadhwa, Nitya</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chaturvedi, Mona K</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bhatia, Vidyut</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Saini, Savita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tandon, Nikhil</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Makharia, Govind K</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maki, Markku</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Not, Tarcisio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phillips, Alan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bhatnagar, Shinjini</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Validation of point-of-care testing for coeliac disease in children in a tertiary hospital in north India.</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.

Recently, point-of-care tests (POCT) have been manufactured and tested in Europe but have not been validated in our setting. We therefore aimed to study the diagnostic accuracy of the POCT 'Biocard' test in diagnosing CD in Indian children.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;Cross-sectional study.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SETTING: &lt;/b&gt;Tertiary care centre in north India.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PATIENTS: &lt;/b&gt;Children, aged 2-18 years, with chronic diarrhoea, short stature or refractory anaemia underwent serological testing for CD with antiendomysial antibodies (AEA), antitissue transglutaminase (tTG) antibodies and Biocard test followed by duodenal biopsy irrespective of serological results. CD was diagnosed with positive AEA and duodenal biopsy showing &gt;grade 2 changes using modified Marsh criteria. Those who were both AEA negative and had normal histology were considered CD negative.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Of 319 children who underwent the serological testing, 170 agreed for biopsy. Of these, 110 were diagnosed with CD and 30 were found to be CD negative. Remaining 30 had discordant AEA and histology results and were not included in analysis. Biocard test agreed with 92/110 positive and 27/30 negative diagnoses based on reference tests (83.6% sensitivity and 90% specificity). tTG was found to be 93.8% sensitive and 96.4% specific.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;We successfully validated the POCT for CD in our setting. It could be used to increase case detection rates in developing countries with a large undiagnosed CD burden.&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/24942708?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Demarini, Sergio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">When does postnatal catch-up fat occur in late preterm infants?</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%">Body Composition</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant, Premature</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%">103</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e325</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/24766457?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paloni, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berti, Irene</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cutrone, Mario</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acropustulosis of infancy.</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.

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%">Girardelli, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bianco, A M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcuzzi, A</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%">A comparative analysis of serologic parameters and oxidative stress in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis: reply to Mishra and colleagues.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rheumatol Int</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rheumatol.

In mevalonate kinase deficiency, an auto-inflammatory disease, the correlation between inflammation and cholesterol levels is opposite. The metabolic pathway that underlies the production of cholesterol is the mevalonate pathway; it is also essential for the biosynthesis of isoprenoids involved in the control of several cell functions. This divergence of cholesterol levels, associated with these two inflammatory disorders, is probably due to a different etiology, pathogenesis, and progression.&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/22562750?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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 face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23093138?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bianco, Anna Monica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanin, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelossi, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</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%">Family history in early-onset inflammatory bowel disease.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Gastroenterol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

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). The presence of TRAIL was also measured in infant formula.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Levels of soluble TRAIL in the colostrum and mature human milk were, respectively, at least 400 and 100 fold higher than those detected in human serum. No TRAIL was detected in formula.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Human soluble TRAIL is present at extremely high levels in human colostrum and human milk and might have a significant role in mediating the anti-cancer activity of human milk.&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/22529245?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Callea, Michele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vinciguerra, Agatino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Willoughby, Colin E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Deroma, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clarich, Gabriella</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infantile bilateral glaucoma in a child with ectodermal dysplasia.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ophthalmic Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ophthalmic Genet.</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antihypertensive Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ectodermal Dysplasia</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ectodysplasins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hydrophthalmos</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Intraocular Pressure</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%">Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tonometry, Ocular</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 Mar-Jun</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">34</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">58-60</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Ectodermal dysplasia is a rare disease which affects at least two ectodermal-derived structures such as hair, nails, skin, sweat glands and teeth.

Clinically, XHED is characterized by hypotrichosis, hypohidrosis and hypodontia. A variety of ocular manifestations have been reported in XHED, the most common being dryness of eyes due to tear deficiency and instability of the film secondary to the absence of meibomian gland function.

MYH9-RD is characterized by congenital macrothrombocytopenia and typical inclusion bodies in neutrophils associated with a variable risk of developing sensorineural deafness, presenile cataract, and/or progressive nephropathy. The spectrum of mutations responsible for MYH9-RD is limited. We report five families, each with a novel MYH9 mutation. Two mutations, p.Val34Gly and p.Arg702Ser, affect the motor domain of myosin-9, whereas the other three, p.Met847_Glu853dup, p.Lys1048_Glu1054del, and p.Asp1447Tyr, hit the coiled-coil tail domain of the protein.

Molecular analysis revealed ~60 loci to be associated with several phenotypes of childhood cataracts. Until now, more than 30 loci and 18 genes on different chromosomes have been associated with autosomal dominant congenital cataract (ADCC). Here, we present a three-generation Italian family with a non syndromic ADCC. A linkage analysis carried out using HumanCytoSNP-12 DNA Analysis BeadChip led us to identify ten genomic regions virtually involved in the disease. All the genes located in these regions were scored for possible relationship with ADCC and, according to a strict clinical and genetic selection, 4 genes have been analyzed. A novel sequence variant was found in the CRYBB2 gene (p.Ser143Phe). This variant affects a conserved aminoacid in the third Greek key motif of the protein, cosegregates with the disease phenotype in all affected individuals and is not present both in the unaffected family members and 100 healthy control subjects. Finally, we identified the first CRYBB2 mutation in an Italian family causing a clinical picture of ADCC.&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/22846113?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Colombatti, Raffaella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Perrotta, Silverio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Samperi, Piera</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Casale, Maddalena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Masera, Nicoletta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Palazzi, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sainati, Laura</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%">Italian Association of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology (AIEOP) Sickle Cell Disease Working Group</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organizing national responses for rare blood disorders: the Italian experience with sickle cell disease in childhood.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Orphanet J Rare Dis</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Orphanet J Rare 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%">Anemia, Sickle Cell</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%">Disease Management</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hematologic Diseases</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%">Neonatal Screening</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rare Diseases</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</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">169</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;Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most frequent hemoglobinopathy worldwide but remains a rare blood disorder in most western countries. 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%">Massaro, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pastore, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, A</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%">Pain in cognitively impaired children: a focus for general pediatricians.</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.

The diseases and associated complications that frequently expose these patients to pain can be treated and pain prevented. For patients with communication difficulties, appropriate, effective, validated tools are available and should be used to diagnose pain in itself, to &gt;choose analgesic treatment and to determine effectiveness of these therapies.

Release of cytokines was measured in culture supernatants of human primary endothelial cells, THP-1 macrophagic cells and HuH-7 hepatoma cells upon exposure to a high fat mixture.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;While the majority of cytokines did not show significant differences between the investigated groups, the circulating levels of CXCL10/IP-10 and IL-6 were higher in the MetS group versus overweight control group. In contrast, PDGF-BB serum levels were significantly decreased in MetS patients. The in vitro addition of a high fat mixture increased the release of IL-6 and/or CXCL10/IP-10 in the culture supernatant of human primary endothelial cells and THP-1 macrophagic cells, while the same mixture significantly decreased the release of PDGF-BB by human THP-1 macrophagic and HuH-7 hepatoma cells.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The current demonstration that MetS is associated with decrease of the pro-fibrotic PDGF cytokine is a completely novel finding, which adds complexity to the interplay between inflammation and fibrosis in patients affected by MetS.&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/22840561?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Zannin, Maria E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Birolo, Carolina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gerloni, Valeria M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Miserocchi, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pontikaki, Irene</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paroli, Maria P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bracaglia, Claudia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shardlow, Alison</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parentin, Fulvio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cimaz, Rolando</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Simonini, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Falcini, Fernanda</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corona, Fabrizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Viola, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Marco, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Breda, Luciana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">La Torre, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vittadello, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martini, Giorgia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zulian, Francesco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Safety and efficacy of infliximab and adalimumab for refractory uveitis in juvenile idiopathic arthritis: 1-year followup data from the Italian Registry.</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.

At baseline, all patients were refractory to standard immunosuppressive treatment and/or were corticosteroid-dependent. Data recorded every 3 months included uveitis course, number/type of ocular complications, drug-related adverse events (AE), treatment change or withdrawal, and laboratory measures. Data of patients treated for at least 1 year were retrieved from the NIR and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Treatment efficacy was based on change in uveitis course and in number of ocular complications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Up to December 2009, data for 108 patients with JIA-AU treated with anti-tumor necrosis factor-α agents were recorded in the NIR and data from 91, with at least 12 months' followup, were included in the study. Forty-eight patients were treated with IFX, 43 with ADA. Forty-seven patients (55.3%) achieved remission of AU, 28 (32.9%) had recurrent AU, and 10 (11.8%) maintained a chronic course. A higher remission rate was observed with ADA (67.4% vs 42.8% with IFX; p = 0.025). Ocular complications decreased from 0.47 to 0.32 per subject. Five patients experienced resolution of structural complications. No patient reported serious AE; 8 (8.8%) experienced 11 minor AE (9 with IFX, 2 with ADA).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;IFX and ADA appear to be effective and safe for treatment of refractory JIA-related uveitis, with a better performance of ADA in the medium-term period.&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/23118110?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ceccarello, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cecotti, Vera</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Ottavio, Giuseppina</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Third trimester abdominal circumference, estimated fetal weight and uterine artery doppler for the identification of newborns small and large for gestational age.</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.

We divided the infants into four groups: moderate SGA, severe SGA, moderate LGA and severe LGA. We considered third-trimester estimated fetal weight (EFW), abdominal circumference (AC), EFW centile (EFWc), AC centile (ACc) and compared their prediction toward SGA and LGA to determine which of these parameters was the best estimator for fetal size. Then we took the strongest predictive value and added all history-related and ultrasound factors to run a stepdown multivariate logistic regression. All the variables were then dichotomized and sensitivity models only for statistically significant parameters were calculated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;We identified the following predictive factors for each outcome: for severe SGA: EFWc with p&lt;0.001, uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA PI) with p&lt;0.002. For moderate SGA: EFWc with p&lt;0.001, UtA PI with p&lt;0.004, maternal preeclampsia p&lt;0.002. For moderate and severe LGA: EFWc with p&lt;0.001.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;We can detect in a low-risk population a group at risk of growth deviations. Adding Doppler velocimetry to 30-32 weeks EFWc improves the specificity (84%) regarding SGA newborns, maintaining a good sensitivity (71%), and reducing the population to be re-screened from 27 to 17%. An ultrasound examination at 34-36 weeks or the clinical assessment of maternal risk factors remain the best tools for LGA newborns.&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/23122032?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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.

The exact physiopathology of this disease is not known and there is no specific treatment for it. There is merely news from a few previous descriptions in the literature about the use of hydroxychloroquine for surfactant protein C deficiency with satisfactory results. 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%">Pascolo, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faleschini, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tonini, Giorgio</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%">Type 1 diabetes mellitus and celiac disease: usefulness of gluten-free diet.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Diabetol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Diabetol</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013 Oct</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">50</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">821-2</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/21833778?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Berti, Irene</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minute, Marta</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%">Under pressure.</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.

As such, its rates and practices are determined by the same social determinants that shape health inequalities and inequities. In the past 30 years, several reports have drawn attention to the changing pattern of breastfeeding inequalities across countries and population groups. Breastfeeding rates tend to fall and rise following a similar pattern everywhere, although at different times and speed. The role of women within families and societies, the routines of maternity hospitals and other healthcare services, and the pressure exerted by the baby food industry are among the factors that influence the time and speed of changes in breastfeeding rates and practices across countries and population groups. Inequities (i.e., inequalities considered unfair and avoidable by reasonable action) can be redressed by interventions for the protection, promotion, and support of breastfeeding. Evidence-based and quality-implemented support and promotion activities, if applied without an equity lens, may increase inequities. Activities for the protection of breastfeeding (e.g., implementation and enforcement of the International Code of Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes; legislations, regulations, and policies to remove obstacles and barriers to good-quality breastfeeding support and to protect women and mothers in the workforce; elimination of obstacles and barriers to breastfeeding anywhere, anyhow, and anytime mothers want) apply to all women and are less dependent on take up by the target population. If well designed and enforced, protective interventions contribute to reducing inequalities and inequities and to delivering promotion and support activities more effectively.&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/22168906?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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.

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%">Minen, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Cunto, Angela</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></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acute and recurrent pancreatitis in children: exploring etiological factors.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scand J Gastroenterol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scand.

While causes of pancreatitis have been extensively analyzed, different series reported different causes. The aims of this study were: 1) to assess the etiological factors of acute and recurrent pancreatitis in a pediatric population from a tertiary care hospital; 2) to assess the usefulness of imaging studies in diagnosing etiologies of pancreatitis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MATERIAL AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Thirty-four children (median age 11 years, 23 males) with AP and 11 with recurrent pancreatitis were retrospectively studied to assess etiology of pancreatitis in children.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The most common etiologies of AP were medications (11/34) and biliary tract diseases (9/34), whereas systemic diseases accounted for a small percentage of case. Among patients with recurrent episodes, biliary anomalies were the most common cause (6/11), whereas only 2 out of 11 patients with recurrent pancreatitis presented a hereditary cause.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;This study highlights that etiologies of AP in children are variable. Epidemiology of AP could be influenced by single center's characteristics. Anatomic anomalies should be ruled out and genetic causes should be considered in recurrent cases.&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/23016884?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Pellegrin, Maria Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Centenari, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Filippeschi, Irene Pellegrini</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%">Acute febrile cholestatic jaundice in children: keep in mind Kawasaki 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.

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.

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.

Our aim was to determine if transfusions with IPF-rich solutions, during autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation, reduce the occurrence of bleeding and hemorrhagic complications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PATIENTS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Transfusions were administered to 40 children, affected with hematological pathologies, who underwent autologous peripheral hematopoietic progenitor cell transplantation. There were two groups of 20 patients, one group treated with IPF-poor and the other with IPF-rich solutions. In the two groups, the conditioning regimen was the same for the same pathology (hematological pathologies: 14 acute lymphoblastic leukemia; twelve acute myelocytic leukemia; four non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; two Hodgkin's lymphoma; eight solid tumors). A new automated analyzer was used to quantify the IPF: the XE2100 (Sysmex, Kobe, Japan) blood cell counter with upgraded software.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The 20 patients who received solutions with a high percentage of IPF (3%-9% of total number of infused platelets) required fewer transfusions than the 20 patients who received transfusions with a low percentage of IPF (0%-1% of total number of infused platelets): 83 versus 129 (mean of number of transfusions 4.15 versus 6.45) and a significant difference was found between the two groups by using the Mann-Whitney test (P &lt; 0.001). The prophylactic transfusions decreased from three to two per week. There was only one case of massive hemorrhage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;The use of IPF solutions reduces the number of transfusions and bleedings after peripheral blood stem cell transplantation in pediatric patients.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22334789?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Pesel, Giuliano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Visconti, Patrizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maestri, Iva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rinaldi, Rosa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cortale, Maurizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Zotti, Renata</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%">Asbestos and SV40 in malignant pleural mesothelioma from a hyperendemic area of north-eastern Italy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tumori</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tumori</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%">Asbestos</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carcinogens</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Disease Susceptibility</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA, Viral</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Endemic Diseases</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%">Italy</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%">Pleural Neoplasms</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polyomavirus Infections</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%">Risk Factors</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><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Viral Load</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 Mar-Apr</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">98</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">210-4</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;AIMS AND BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Malignant mesothelioma is a fatal cancer of increasing incidence in north-eastern Italy. 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%">Cuzzoni, Eva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Iudicibus, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bartoli, Fiora</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></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Association between BclI polymorphism in the NR3C1 gene and in vitro individual variations in lymphocyte responses to methylprednisolone.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Br J Clin Pharmacol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Br J Clin Pharmacol</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adaptor Proteins, Signal Transducing</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%">Apoptosis Regulatory Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cyclin D1</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dose-Response Relationship, Drug</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%">Glucocorticoids</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lymphocytes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Methylprednisolone</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%">Receptors, Glucocorticoid</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Young Adult</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%">73</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">651-5</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;WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS SUBJECT: &lt;/b&gt;In vitro lymphocyte steroid sensitivity has been suggested as a useful tool to predict in vivo response to glucocorticoid treatment in different inflammatory chronic diseases. A correlation between genetic polymorphisms and clinical response to glucocorticoids has been demonstrated in these patients.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS: &lt;/b&gt;The BclI polymorphism in the glucocorticoid receptor (NR3C1) gene is associated with higher methylprednisolone potency in vitro. The combined evaluation of the in vitro sensitivity to methylprednisolone and BclI polymorphism could represent an aid for physicians to adjust therapy a priori. AIM To evaluate the association between the in vitro sensitivity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to methylprednisolone (MP) and the presence of genetic polymorphisms involved in glucocorticoid (GC) response.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;In vitro MP inhibition of the proliferation of lymphocytes stimulated with concanavalin A was determined. Non linear regression of dose-response data was performed computing the MP concentration required to reduce proliferation to 50% (IC(50) ). The maximum inhibition achievable at the highest MP concentration (I(max) ) was also calculated. Moreover, the Taqman technique was used to analyze the BclI polymorphism in the NR3C1 gene and the Leu155His polymorphism in the NALP1 gene.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;A significant association between the BclI mutated genotype and an increased in vitro sensitivity to GCs was observed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The a priori evaluation of the BclI polymorphism, associated with a lymphocyte proliferation assay, could represent a useful diagnostic tool for the optimization of steroid 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/22008062?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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.

Diagnosis requires the presence of at least two of three major clinical features: chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis, chronic hypoparathyroidism, and Addison's disease.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;In this study, we analyzed Autoimmune Regulator (AIRE) gene mutations and genotype-phenotype correlation in APECED patients originating from Calabria, a region in the south of Italy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PATIENTS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Four patients and their first-degree relatives were evaluated for clinical manifestations, autoantibody presence and AIRE gene mutations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Three patients carried a homozygous W78R mutation on exon 2, typical of patients with APECED from Apulia; the fourth patient had a homozygous R203X mutation on exon 5, typical of APECED patients from Sicily. Clinical disease expression showed wide variability. Analysis of relatives allowed the identification of 6 heterozygotes, none of whom showed major findings of APECED.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;No AIRE gene mutations specific to Calabria were found in patients with APS-1, but mutations similar to those in patients from Apulia and Sicily.

This paper aims to identify the formalities and the reasons why families collect and bank their cord blood in foreign banks for both personal and private use.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;To this end, at the Institute for Maternal and Child Health of Trieste (the regional capital city of the FVG), Italy, which assists about 1800 pregnant women a year, 129 questionnaires, drafted from January 2010 to December 2011 and concerning the granting of authorization to export samples, were examined.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The collected data showed that 75% of involved families had resorted to anonymous public collection, which is available to anyone with therapeutic needs, and provided compatibility and hematologic protocols recognized by the scientific and international community (main indications: leukemia, hemoglobinopaties, and inherited hematologic and immunologic disorders). Conversely, 25.0% requested private storage at a foreign bank for personal or family-dedicated use. The principal motivation by disease was for treatment for diabetes (22.4%) and celiac disease (19.7%) (a multiorgan disease for which the FVG region has provided safeguards by approving a specific law granting support to families; Decree No 561/2007). For these two types of disease we found that information was received from the internet and not from general medical physicians, with a significant difference found using the χ(2) test (P &lt; 0.01).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;The indication of treating these diseases with cord blood stem cell transplantation appears to be well grounded and encouraging, and has recently been corroborated by the international literature; however, the economic and social motivations promoting cord blood storage, for a fee, in the event of diseases that are still under study, require accurate information through general medical physicians on the actual possibilities of treatment.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22807638?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Quattrin, Rosanna</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Avoidable interruptions during drug administration in an intensive rehabilitation ward: improvement project.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Nurs Manag</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Nurs Manag</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Attention</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Drug Therapy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Feasibility Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Intensive Care Units</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Medication Errors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nursing Administration Research</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nursing Evaluation Research</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nursing Staff, Hospital</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Patient Safety</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality Assurance, Health Care</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rehabilitation Nursing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Safety Management</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Time Factors</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%">20</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">326-34</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;AIMS: &lt;/b&gt;To record the frequency of interruptions and their causes, to identify 'avoidable' interruptions and to build an improvement project to reduce 'avoidable' interruptions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;In Italy each year 30,000-35,000 deaths per year are attributed to health-care system errors, of which 19% are caused by medication errors. The factors that contribute to drug management error also include interruptions and carelessness during treatment administration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A descriptive study design was used to record the frequency of interruptions and their causes and to identify 'avoidable' interruptions in an intensive rehabilitation ward in Northern Italy. A data collection grid was used to record the data over a 6-month period.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;A total of 3000 work hours were observed. During the study period 1170 interruptions were observed. The study identified 14 causes of interruption.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The study shows that of the 14 cases of interruptions at least nine can be defined as 'avoidable'. An improvement project has been proposed to reduce unnecessary interruptions and distractions to avoid making errors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: &lt;/b&gt;An additional useful step to reduce the incidence of treatment errors would be to implement the use of a single patient medication sheet for the recording of drug prescription, preparation and administration and also the incident reporting.&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/22519610?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poropat, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Murru, Flora M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Orzan, Eva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maschio, Massimo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A boy with acute strabismus.</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.

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" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22558393?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Bensa, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tonelli, Alessandra</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A case of familial hemiplegic migraine associated with a novel ATP1A2 gene mutation.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Neurol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr.

CD14 is a multifunctional receptor involved in the bacterial lipopolysaccharides-dependent signal transduction. The CD14 gene maps on the long arm of chromosome 5 (5q22-q32), a 'hotbed' region for CD; promoter polymorphisms are known to influence its expression. In this study we analyzed three CD14 promoter polymorphisms (c.-1359G&gt;T, c.-1145A&gt;G and c.-159C&gt;T, ) in 938 CD Italian patients and 533 healthy controls, with known HLA-DQ haplotypes, with the aim of evaluating their possible association with the disease. The c.-1145A&gt;G G and c.-159C&gt;T T alleles (as well as the combination of the two alleles in the GT haplotype), were identified as susceptibility factors for CD development, being significantly more frequent in CD patients than in healthy controls. This association was also confirmed when the analysis was restricted to only those subjects characterized by HLA-DQ risk haplotypes. Our results indicate the involvement of CD14 gene polymorphisms in the susceptibility to CD.&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/22648004?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carlino, Claudia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trotta, Eleonora</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stabile, Helena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morrone, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bulla, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soriani, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iannitto, Maria Luisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Agostinis, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mocci, Carlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minozzi, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aragona, Cesare</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Perniola, Giorgia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tedesco, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sozzani, Silvano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Santoni, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gismondi, Angela</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chemerin regulates NK cell accumulation and endothelial cell morphogenesis in the decidua during early pregnancy.</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.

Migration through ST or DEC of peripheral blood and decidual (d) NK cells from pregnant women was performed using a transwell assay. A DEC capillary-like tube formation assay was used to evaluate endothelial morphogenesis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Chemerin is differentially expressed by decidual cells during early pregnancy being present at high levels in ST and extravillous trophoblast cells but not in DEC. Notably, ST cells from pregnant women exhibit and release higher levels of chemerin as compared with ST cells from menopausal or fertile nonpregnant women. Chemerin can support peripheral blood NK cell migration through both DEC and ST cells. Although dNK cells exhibit lower chemerin receptor (CMKLR1) expression than their blood counterpart, CMKLR1 engagement on dNK cells resulted in both ERK activation and migration through decidual ST cells.

&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%">Maso, Gianpaolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Businelli, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piccoli, Monica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montico, Marcella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Seta, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sartore, Andrea</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%">The clinical interpretation and significance of electronic fetal heart rate patterns 2 h before delivery: an institutional observational study.</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.

The tracings were interpreted as normal, suspicious or pathological, according to specific guidelines of EFM and by grouping the different FHR patterns considering baseline, variability, presence of decelerations and bradycardia. The EFM groups and the different FHR-subgroups were associated with neonatal acid base status at birth, as well as the short-term neonatal composite outcome. Comparisons between groups were performed with Kruskal-Wallis test. Differences among categorical variables were evaluated using Fisher's exact test. Significance was set at p &lt; 0.05 level.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Significant differences were found for mean pH values in the three EFM groups, with a significant trend from &quot;normal&quot; [pH 7.25, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 7.28-7.32] to &quot;pathological&quot; tracings (pH 7.20, 95 % CI 7.17-7.13). Also the rates of adverse composite neonatal outcome were statistically different between the two groups (p &lt; 0.005). Among the different FHR patterns, tracings with atypical variable decelerations and severe bradycardia were more frequently associated with adverse neonatal composite outcome (11.1 and 26.7 %, respectively). However, statistically significant differences were only observed between the subgroups with normal tracings and bradycardia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;In low-risk pregnancies, there is a significant association between neonatal outcome and EFM classification. However, within abnormal tracings, neonatal outcome might differ according to specific FHR pattern.&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/22791414?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Cuttini, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrante, Pierpaolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mirante, Nadia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chiandotto, Valeria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fertz, Mariacristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dall'Oglio, Anna Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coletti, Maria Franca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Johnson, Samantha</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cognitive assessment of very preterm infants at 2-year corrected age: performance of the Italian version of the PARCA-R parent questionnaire.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Early Hum Dev</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Early Hum.

Parents completed the PARCA-R questionnaire, designed to measure children's non-verbal and verbal (vocabulary and sentence complexity) cognitive level. The correlation between the MDI and the PARCA-R Parent Report Composite (PRC) was tested through the Pearson correlation coefficient, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to identify optimal PRC cut-offs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Significant correlation between the PRC score and MDI (r=0.60, p&lt;0.001) indicated good concurrent validity. The area under the ROC curve was 0.83, and the cut-off of 46 lead to 72.7% sensitivity and 77.1% specificity in identifying children with moderate/severe cognitive delay (MDI&lt;70). Negative predictive value was 96.6 (90.3-99.3). Screening through PARCA-R would reduce the number of children with MDI≥70 undergoing BSID-II or equivalent standardized tool from 109 to 25.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The Italian version of PARCA-R retains good discriminative power for identifying cognitive delay in 2-year very preterm children. It is well accepted by parents, and represents a valid and efficient alternative for developmental screening and outcome measurement.&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/21862246?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vuch, Josef</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanin, Valentina</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%">Comments to the editor concerning the paper entitled &quot;Preclinical renal cancer chemopreventive efficacy of geraniol by modulation of multiple molecular pathways&quot; Shiekh Tanveer Ahmad et al.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toxicology</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toxicology</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antineoplastic Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kidney Neoplasms</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Signal Transduction</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Terpenes</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 Mar 11</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">293</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">123-4</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22210290?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bianco, Anna Monica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanin, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girardelli, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Magnolato, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelossi, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martellossi, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</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%">A common genetic background could explain early-onset Crohn's disease.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Med Hypotheses</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Med.

CD is characterized by a chronic granulomatous inflammation by necrotic scarring with aspects of full-thickness wall. In spite of affecting mainly young adults, sometimes, CD can be present in the first year of life (early onset Crohn disease, EOCD) showing an unpredictable course and being often more severe than at older ages. In this paper we propose the hypothesis that EOCD patients should be analyzed using a Mendelian approach with family studies aimed to identify new loci directly involved in the early onset Crohn's disease. So we will leave the classic association study approach used until now for the identification of genes responsible for susceptibility to CD and propose linkage family analysis as alternative and powerful tool for the identification of new genetic variants associated with familiar cases of EOCD.&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/22309886?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Iannacone, Michelle R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Casalicchio, Giorgia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">McKay-Chopin, Sandrine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasino, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gheit, Tarik</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comparison of hybrid capture II, linear array, and a bead-based multiplex genotyping assay for detection of human papillomavirus in women with negative pap test results and atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Clin Microbiol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

The Hybrid Capture II (HC-II) assay is broadly used for primary screening. In addition, several HPV genotyping assays, based on PCR methods, display higher sensitivity than the HC-II and are also used in screening programs. We evaluated the performance of three HPV DNA tests, namely, the HC-II, the Linear Array (LA) HPV genotyping assay, and an HPV type-specific E7 PCR bead-based multiplex genotyping assay (TS-MPG) that is a laboratory-developed method for the detection of HPV, in 94 women with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) and in cytological samples from 86 women with a negative Pap test. The HPV prevalence with the TS-MPG assay was increased compared to the prevalence with the LA and HC-II assays. The HPV DNA prevalence in women with ASC-US was greater with the TS-MPG assay (46.2%) than with the LA (36.3%) and HC-II (29.7%) assays. The HPV DNA prevalence in the control group was greater with the TS-MPG assay (32.1%) than with the LA assay (10.7%). Two women with ASC-US who were HPV DNA negative by the HC-II and positive by the TS-MPG or/and LA assays had lesions that progressed to low-grade squamous intraepithelial and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions. This study shows that the TS-MPG assay exhibited higher analytical sensitivity than the LA and HC-II assays for the detection of HPV DNA, which reduces the potential to incorrectly identify a woman's HPV infection status.&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/23035194?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Demarini, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Del Frate, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zacchi, Alberto</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Congenital hemangiopericytoma.</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.

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.

Although this strategy has proven useful to cure symptoms, it rarely can heal the disease and long-term treatments are usually needed. Inflammatory and autoimmune diseases frequently occur also in patients with primary immune deficiency disease, proving that immune hyper-activation may paradoxically arise from defective function of immune genes. In these cases, the phenotype of hyper-activation is believed to reflect the attempts of the immune system to compensate for immune defects. Recent data suggest that similar mechanisms could be involved also in the pathogenesis of some multifactorial disorders, such as Crohn's disease and systemic lupus erythematosus. Based on these considerations, novel therapies could be developed to cure severe autoimmune and inflammatory disorders, not only by aiming to hyper-activation but as well by focusing on the possible underlying immune defects.&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/22726115?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minen, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cont, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Cunto, Angela</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%">Maggiore, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faletra, Flavio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cassandrini, Denise</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Delayed diagnosis of glycogen storage disease type III.</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.

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.

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%">Zauli, Giorgio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Editorial: innovative therapeutic approaches for the treatment of pediatric autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.</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.

aminobisphosphonate--was described to antagonize the pro-inflammatory effects of the block in the mevalonate pathway, the main feature of a rare auto-inflammatory disease called mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;In this study we evaluated the potential anti-inflammatory effect of clodronate in MKD--a still orphan drug pediatric disease.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We studied some biological parameters, nitric oxide production using Griess reagents and programmed cell death by flow cytometry, as common inflammatory parameters in MKD, in the presence of different doses of clodronate (1, 10 and 100 μM).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;In our cellular model and in monocytes from patients with MKD, clodronate induced an increase in programed cell death and nitric oxide production in comparison with non-treated cells.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Our findings suggest that clodronate does not have an anti-inflammatory effect as previously reported but that it increases the epiphenomena of this pediatric disease.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style

&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. It means that an increase of leukorrhea in that group could be protective in terms of prevention of vaginal imbalance/infection.&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/22520642?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Oretti, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Travan, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clarici, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Massaccesi, Stefano</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%">Effects of prone and supine position on cerebral blood flow in preterm infants.</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.

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the impact of different doses of rifaximin vaginal tablets (100 mg/day for 5 days, 25 mg/day for 5 days, and 100 mg/day for 2 days) on the vaginal microbiota of 102 European patients with BV enrolled in a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study. An integrated molecular approach based on quantitative PCR (qPCR) and PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) was used to investigate the effects of vaginal tablets containing the antibiotic. An increase in members of the genus Lactobacillus and a decrease in the BV-related bacterial groups after the antibiotic treatment were demonstrated by qPCR. PCR-DGGE profiles confirmed the capability of rifaximin to modulate the composition of the vaginal microbial communities and to reduce their complexity. This molecular analysis supported the clinical observation that rifaximin at 25 mg/day for 5 days represents an effective treatment to be used in future pivotal studies for the treatment of BV.&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/22585228?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pennesi, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">L'erario, Ines</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%">Endoscopic treatment of primary vesicoureteral reflux.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">N Engl J Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">N.

Therefore, new insights on the characteristics of large vein endothelium would increase our knowledge of large vessel physiopathology.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;Surgical specimens of veins were obtained from the tertiary venous network (R3) and/or saphenous vein (SF) of patients affected by CVD and from control individuals. Highly purified venous endothelial cell (VEC) cultures obtained from CVD patients were characterized for morphological, phenotypic and functional properties compared to control VEC. An increase of CD31/PECAM-1, CD146 and ICAM-1 surface levels was documented at flow cytometry in pathological VEC with respect to normal controls. Of note, the strongest expression of these pro-inflammatory markers was observed in VEC obtained from patients with more advanced disease. Similarly, spontaneous cell proliferation and resistance to starvation was higher in pathological than in normal VEC, while the migratory response of VEC showed an opposite trend, being significantly lower in VEC obtained from pathological specimens. In addition, in keeping with a higher baseline transcriptional activity of NF-kB, the release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines osteoprotegerin (OPG) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was higher in pathological VEC cultures with respect to control VEC. Interestingly, there was a systemic correlation to these in vitro data, as demonstrated by higher serum OPG and VEGF levels in CVD patients with respect to normal healthy controls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION/SIGNIFICANCE: &lt;/b&gt;Taken together, these data indicate that large vein endothelial cells obtained from CVD patients exhibit a pro-inflammatory phenotype, which might significantly contribute to systemic inflammation in CVD patients.&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/22737245?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biolo, Gianni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Secchiero, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Giorgi, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tisato, Veronica</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 energy balance positively regulates the levels of circulating TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand in humans.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin Nutr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin Nutr</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%">Bed Rest</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cross-Over Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diet</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Energy Intake</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Energy Metabolism</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%">Insulin Resistance</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Motor Activity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">TNF-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Young Adult</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%">31</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1018-21</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 &amp; AIMS: &lt;/b&gt;Although decreased levels of circulating TRAIL have been associated to cardiovascular risk and overall mortality, the mechanisms controlling TRAIL levels in physiopathological conditions are currently unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether changes in the energy intake and insulin sensitivity may influence circulating TRAIL, and to analyze potential relationships between circulating TRAIL and changes in fat mass in healthy subjects receiving hypocaloric or hypercaloric diets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Three distinct groups of participants were studied, at the end of a 14-day (n = 9), 35-day (n = 30) or 60-day (n = 16) period of experimental bed rest to induce insulin resistance and during controlled ambulation, after receiving eucaloric, hypocaloric or hypercaloric diets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;After bed rest conditions, energy restriction significantly decreased circulating TRAIL, while overfeeding significantly increased TRAIL levels with respect to eucaloric control subjects. Moreover, a positive correlation was found between levels of circulating TRAIL and energy intake as well as between circulating TRAIL and energy balance, as determined by changes in fat mass in these subjects.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Circulating levels of TRAIL exhibit a clear-cut positive correlation with the energy intake and balance in healthy subjects during experimental physical inactivity.&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/22633079?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bettinelli, Maria Enrica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chapin, Elise M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cattaneo, Adriano</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Establishing the Baby-Friendly Community Initiative in Italy: development, strategy, and implementation.</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%">Continuity of Patient Care</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Delivery Rooms</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Policy</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 Care</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant Welfare</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%">Maternal Health Services</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Organizational Policy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Outcome and Process Assessment (Health Care)</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Practice Guidelines as Topic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Program Development</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Program Evaluation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">United Nations</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%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012 Aug</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">28</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">297-303</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 Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI), developed by the World Health Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) to promote breastfeeding in maternity facilities worldwide, has had a global impact on breastfeeding outcomes, but other interventions are needed both before and after hospital discharge to meet the recommended targets at 6 months. The Baby-Friendly Community Initiative (BFCI), a multifaceted program for community-based breastfeeding promotion that is complementary to the BFHI, addresses this challenge.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;To describe the development, strategy, and implementation of the BFCI in Italy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;In 2006, UNICEF Italy created a working group to develop the BFCI for the Italian health system. A review of the different BFCI models worldwide was conducted. A preliminary adaptation of tools to Italian community health care settings was developed in 2007, when the Italian BFCI Seven Steps were published. Two years later, UNICEF Italy launched the Standards for Best Practice for both hospitals and communities, based on 2009 BFHI and UNICEF UK BFCI materials.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;OUTCOMES: &lt;/b&gt;The main outcome was to promote this process in Italian regional health systems and develop tools to assess compliance with the BFCI criteria. There is now one fully accredited Baby-Friendly Community in Italy, and 17 other communities are working on the various stages.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;The BFCI, a complex program that involves participation, training, audits, a continuous flow of feedback, and provision of resources for health workers and families, is now a reality in Italy.&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/22674964?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Husby, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Koletzko, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Korponay-Szabó, I R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mearin, M L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phillips, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shamir, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Troncone, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giersiepen, K</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%">Lelgeman, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mäki, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ribes-Koninckx, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, A</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><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ESPGHAN Gastroenterology Committee</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">European Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition guidelines for the diagnosis of coeliac 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.

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%">Bibalo, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Badina, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Longo, Giorgio</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%">Exhaled nitric oxide as a guide to management of asthma in pregnancy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Asthma</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Breath Tests</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Glucocorticoids</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nitric Oxide</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></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 25</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">379</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">708; author reply 708-9</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9817</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22364753?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zorzi, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbiero, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Facoetti, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lonciari, Isabella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carrozzi, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montico, Marcella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bravar, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">George, Florence</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pech-Georgel, Catherine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ziegler, Johannes C</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Extra-large letter spacing improves reading in dyslexia.</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.

Sophisticated training programs exist, but they typically target the component skills of reading, such as phonological awareness. After the component skills have improved, the main challenge remains (that is, reading deficits must be treated by reading more--a vicious circle for a dyslexic child). Here, we show that a simple manipulation of letter spacing substantially improved text reading performance on the fly (without any training) in a large, unselected sample of Italian and French dyslexic children. Extra-large letter spacing helps reading, because dyslexics are abnormally affected by crowding, a perceptual phenomenon with detrimental effects on letter recognition that is modulated by the spacing between letters. Extra-large letter spacing may help to break the vicious circle by rendering the reading material more easily accessible.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">28</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22665803?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ammenti, Anita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cataldi, Luigi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chimenz, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fanos, Vassilios</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">La Manna, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marra, Giuseppina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Materassi, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecile, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pennesi, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pisanello, Lorena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sica, Felice</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toffolo, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montini, Giovanni</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italian Society of Pediatric Nephrology</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Febrile urinary tract infections in young children: recommendations for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.</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%">Anti-Bacterial Agents</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%">Fever</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Follow-Up Studies</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%">Urinary Tract 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 May</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">101</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">451-7</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;UNLABELLED: &lt;/b&gt;We report the recommendations for the diagnosis, treatment, imaging evaluation and use of antibiotic prophylaxis in children with the first febrile urinary tract infection, aged 2 months to 3 years.

We gathered information on maternal history, uterine artery Doppler and serum biomarkers (PAPP-A, PlGF, PP-13 and free β-hCG). Models were developed for the prediction of overall preeclampsia (PE), early-onset PE, late-onset PE and gestational hypertension (GH). For each outcome, we performed a multivariate logistic regression starting from the saturated model: adopting a step-down procedure we excluded all factors not statistically significant (p &gt; 0.05). 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%">Miorin, Lisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Albornoz, Amelina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baba, Marycelin M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Agaro, Pierlanfranco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcello, Alessandro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Formation of membrane-defined compartments by tick-borne encephalitis virus contributes to the early delay in interferon signaling.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Virus Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Virus Res.</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Membrane</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Encephalitis Viruses, Tick-Borne</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Immune Evasion</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Interferons</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Receptors, Pattern Recognition</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RNA, Viral</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Signal Transduction</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%">163</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">660-6</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Interferons are key mediators of the innate antiviral response of the cell against viral infections. Viruses on the other hand have evolved various strategies to delay innate immunity in order to establish a productive infection. In this work we analyzed the pathway of interferon induction by the tick-borne encephalitis virus. We initially observed a consistent delay of interferon induction following virus replication. RIG-I, but not MDA5, and nuclear translocation of IRF3 were eventually required for interferon activation pointing to a defect in pattern recognition receptor's signaling. However, viral proteins could not directly inhibit the pathway suggesting an indirect mechanism. We found that dsRNA replication intermediates and replicated viral RNA localized to membrane-defined perinuclear compartments that resisted RNAse treatment. Thus, initial escape from innate immunity involved the formation of replication vesicles that may function as a barrier to pattern recognition receptors.&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/22155022?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baldez da Silva, M F P T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guimarães, V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Silva, M A R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Medeiros do Amaral, C M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beçak, W</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stocco, R C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Freitas, A 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%">Frequency of human papillomavirus types 16, 18, 31, and 33 and sites of cervical lesions in gynecological patients from Recife, 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.

While many studies have been performed so far on HPV viral biology, mode of infection and prevention measures, scanty information is available on lesion sites of infected women and the incidence of viral types at specific locations. We looked for a possible relationship between the most common viral types (HPVs 16, 18, 31, 33) found in Recife, PE, Brazil, and lesion sites. We examined 396 HPV-positive women at the Gynecological Unit of the IMIP at Recife; 288 women were positive for HPV 16, 18, 31, or 33, present as a single-virus type or as co-infection. HPV 16 was the most frequent virus type found in the vulva, vagina, uterine cervix-vagina, and uterine cervix. HPV 31 was the second prevalent virus type in vulva, vagina, uterine cervix-vagina, uterine cervix, and mole. HPVs 18 and 33 were present with similar frequencies in the mole-vulva region. Among the co-infections, HPV 16/18 and HPV16/31 were the most frequent in our study group, followed by HPV 16/33.&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/22427039?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Biondi, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piscianz, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valencic, Erica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biagi, Ettore</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%">From bone marrow transplantation to cellular therapies: possible therapeutic strategies in managing autoimmune disorders.</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.

However, available therapies seem not to be targeted on the pathogenic mechanism of the disease and are often not actively affecting the natural history of the disease. Emerging treatments might be of some benefit to many patients who did not respond to conventional therapeutic options. Biological therapies with monoclonal antibodies and other recombinant proteins have been introduced in clinical practice. At the same time, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) have gained attention as a savage treatment in patients subjected to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation who develop severe graft versus host disease (GvHD); in addition, recent reports from clinical trials on larger cohorts of patients support their use as second-line treatment after failure of corticosteroid treatment. For analogy, they have been proposed for the treatment of intractable autoimmune disorders. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has been shown to be effective for treatment of rheumatic disorder cases that were resistant to traditional therapies especially if combined with cell manipulation techniques, such as selection of regulatory T cell and depletion of harmful lymphocytes. We herein present the rationale of different strategies, the preliminary data obtained in clinical trials, unsolved problems and possible next developments of novel treatment protocols of autoimmune disorders.&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/22726117?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandrin-Garcia, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brandão, L A C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guimarães, R L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pancoto, J A T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Donadi, E A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lima-Filho, J L de</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, 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%">Functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the DEFB1 gene are associated with systemic lupus erythematosus in Southern Brazilians.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lupus</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lupus</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%">beta-Defensins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brazil</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Case-Control Studies</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%">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%">Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic</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%">Risk Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Young Adult</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 May</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">625-31</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that results in inflammation and tissue damage. The etiology of SLE remains unknown, but recent studies have shown that the innate immune system may have a role in SLE pathogenesis through the secretion of small cationic peptides named defensins. The aim of the study was to determine the possible involvement in SLE of three functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (c.-52G&gt;A, c.-44C&gt;G and c.-20G&gt;A) in the 5'UTR region of DEFB1 gene, by analyzing them in a population of 139 SLE patients and 288 healthy controls. The c.-52G&gt;A SNP showed significant differences in allele and genotype frequency distribution between SLE patients and controls (p = 0.01 and p = 0.02 respectively) indicating protection against SLE (A allele, OR = 0.68, AA genotype OR = 0.51). Significant differences were also observed for c.-44C&gt;G SNP, the C/G genotype being associated with susceptibility to SLE (OR = 1.60, p = 0.04). Moreover, statistically significant differences between patients and controls were found for two DEFB1 haplotypes (GCA and GGG, p = 0.01 and p = 0.02 respectively). When considering DEFB1 SNPs and SLE clinical and laboratory manifestations, significant association was found with neuropsychiatric disorders, immunological alterations and anti-DNA antibodies. In conclusion, our results evidence a possible role for the c.-52G&gt;A and c.-44C&gt;G DEFB1 polymorphisms in SLE pathogenesis, that can be considered as possible risk factors for development of disease and disease-related clinical manifestations. Additional studies are needed, to corroborate these results as well as functional studies to understand the biological role of these SNPs in the pathogenesis of SLE.&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/22323338?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Korponay-Szabó, Ilma Rita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Simon-Vecsei, Zsafia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Leo, Luigina</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%">Gluten-dependent intestinal autoimmune response.</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.

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" size="100%">44</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23071320?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pontillo, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Silva, Lais T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oshiro, Telma M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Finazzo, Claudia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Duarte, Alberto J S</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">HIV-1 induces NALP3-inflammasome expression and interleukin-1β secretion in dendritic cells from healthy individuals but not from HIV-positive patients.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AIDS</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AIDS</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brazil</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carrier Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caspase 1</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cells, Cultured</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dendritic Cells</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">DNA, Viral</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</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%">Immunity, Innate</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inflammasomes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Interleukin-1beta</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</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%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012 Jan 2</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">26</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11-8</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;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;NALP3-inflammasome is an innate mechanism, alternative to type-1 interferon, which is able to recognize nucleic acids and viruses in the cytoplasm and to induce pro-inflammatory response. Here, we hypothesized the involvement of inflammasome in the early defense against HIV-1 and in the full maturation of dendritic cells: for this, we evaluated the response of dendritic cells pulsed with HIV-1 in terms of inflammasome activation in healthy donors. Moreover, inflammasome response to HIV was evaluated in HIV-infected individuals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Monocyte-derived dendritic cells isolated from 20 healthy individuals (HC-DC) and 20 HIV-1-infected patients (HIV-DC) were pulsed with alditrithiol-2-inactivated HIV-1. We then analyzed inflammasome genes expression and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) secretion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;In HC-DC, HIV-1 induced higher NLRP3/NALP3 mRNA expression compared with other inflammasome genes such as NALP1/NLRP1 or IPAF/NLRC4 (P &lt; 0.001). This augmented expression was accompanied by CASP1-increased and IL1B-increased mRNA levels and by a significant increment of IL-1β secretion (P &lt; 0.05). Otherwise, HIV-1 failed to activate inflammasome and cytokine production in HIV-DC. HIV-DC showed an increased NLRP3/NALP3 basal expression, suggesting a chronic inflammatory profile of patients' immune cells.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;HIV-1 was able to induce a NALP3-inflammasome response in healthy individuals, indicating that this inflammasome could play a role in the first steps of HIV-1 infection; the consequent inflammatory process may be important for directing host immune response against the virus and/or disease progression. HIV-DC seemed to be chronically activated, but unresponsive against pathogens. Our findings could be of interest considering the ongoing research about dendritic cell manipulation and therapeutic strategies for AIDS involving dendritic cell-based immune-vaccines.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

proximal interphalangeal joint fusion, skeletal anomalies and conductive hearing loss. Noggin is a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonist essential for normal bone and joint development in humans and mice. Autosomal dominant mutations have been described in the NOG gene, encoding the noggin protein. We analyzed an Italian sporadic patient with SYM1 due to a novel NOG mutation (L46P) based on a c.137T&gt;C transition. A different pathogenic mutation in the same codon (L46D) has been previously described in an in vivo chicken model. An in silico model shows a decreased binding affinity between noggin and BMP7 for both L46D and L46P compared to the wild type. Therefore, this codon should play an important role in BMP7 binding activity of the noggin protein and consequently to the joint morphogenesis.&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/22855651?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valencic, Erica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piscianz, Elisa</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%">Immunomodulatory drugs in autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS).</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%">Antineoplastic Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diseases in Twins</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%">Pentostatin</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%">58</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">310; author reply 311</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/21674759?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giurici, Nagua</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pennesi, Marco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Importance of bladder bowel dysfunction in patients with urinary tract infection.</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.

Sometimes, however, it can present in the first year of life (Early onset Crohn disease (EOCD)) showing an unpredictable course and can often be more severe than at older ages. Some cases have been associated to an underlying primary immunodeficiency such as IL10R deficiency. We studied the functional response to IL-10 and the genotype of IL-10 receptor in four patients with early onset crohn-like colitis. We found an IL10R variant, which may be associated with a decreased response to the cytokine in one patient. Further studies to determine its pathogenic effect should be performed. In addition IL-10 mediated inhibition of LPS-induced TNFα expression was measured in patient's monocytes.&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/22155628?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biino, Ginevra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">d'Adamo, Pio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ciullo, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nutile, Teresa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toniolo, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sala, Cinzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minelli, Cosetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gögele, Martin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Balduini, Carlo L</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Influence of age, sex and ethnicity on platelet count in five Italian geographic isolates: mild thrombocytopenia may be physiological.</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.

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%">Glembotsky, A C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marta, R F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecci, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Rocco, D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gnan, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Espasandin, Y R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Goette, N P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Negro, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Noris, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savoia, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Balduini, C L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molinas, F C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heller, P G</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">International collaboration as a tool for diagnosis of patients with inherited thrombocytopenia in the setting of a developing country.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Thromb Haemost</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

The requirement of highly specialized tests for diagnosis represents a particular problem in resource-limited settings. To overcome this difficulty, we applied a diagnostic algorithm and developed a collaboration program with a specialized international center in order to increase the diagnostic yield in a cohort of patients in Argentina.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Based on the algorithm, initial evaluation included collection of clinical data, platelet size, blood smear examination and platelet aggregation tests. Confirmatory tests were performed according to diagnostic suspicion, which included platelet glycoprotein expression, immunofluorescence for myosin-9 in granulocytes and platelet thrombospondin-1 and molecular screening of candidate genes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Thirty-one patients from 14 pedigrees were included; their median age was 32 (4-72) years and platelet count 72 (4-147)×10(9) L(-1). Autosomal dominant inheritance was found in nine (64%) pedigrees; 10 (71%) had large platelets and nine (29%) patients presented with syndromic forms. A definitive diagnosis was made in 10 of 14 pedigrees and comprised MYH9-related disease in four, while classic and monoallelic Bernard-Soulier syndrome, gray platelet syndrome, X-linked thrombocytopenia, thrombocytopenia 2 (ANKRD26 mutation) and familial platelet disorder with predisposition to acute myelogenous leukemia were diagnosed in one pedigree each.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Adoption of an established diagnostic algorithm and collaboration with an expert referral center proved useful for diagnosis of IT patients in the setting of a developing country. This initiative may serve as a model to develop international networks with the goal of improving diagnosis and care of patients with these rare diseases.&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/22672365?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Alberini, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Costa, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Colonna, Franco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zennaro, Floriana</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%">Involuntary movements after correction of vitamin B12 deficiency: a video-case report.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epileptic Disord</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epileptic Disord</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Atrophy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brain</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dyskinesias</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Electroencephalography</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%">Magnetic Resonance Imaging</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Myelin Sheath</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Myoclonus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tremor</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Video Recording</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vitamin B 12</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vitamin B 12 Deficiency</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vitamins</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%">14</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">174-80</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Involuntary movements can appear before and after initiation of vitamin B12 treatment. The pathogenesis of involuntary movements in vitamin B12 deficiency and their relationship with cobalamin injection remain unclear due to a lack of video-EEG documentation making the electroclinical correlation difficult to ascertain. Here, we report video-EEG and neuroimaging findings of an 11-month-old girl with vitamin B12 deficiency, who acutely developed involuntary movements a few days after initiation of vitamin B12 treatment with normal vitamin plasmatic levels. Abnormal movements were a combination of tremor and myoclonus involving the face, mouth, and left arm, which disappeared after discontinuation of therapy.

On examination, a vegetant mass on the posteromidline lingual part of the body of the tongue was noticed: it was not painful, even if the boy reported discomfort because of its size; there was no bleeding or signs of infection. The magnetic resonance imaging showed the lesion as trilobated and capsulated, but was not diriment to define a diagnosis; excisional biopsy was performed under general anesthesia, and the mass was identified as a schwannoma. Schwannoma, or neurilemmoma, is a benign tumor originating from Schwann cells of the nerve sheath surrounding peripheral nerves. It is slow-growing, usually solitary, and encapsulated. Intraoral schwannomas are rare and account for 1% of lesions of the head and neck region. There is no sex predilection. The symptoms depend on size and location of the tumor. Recurrence is rare after complete surgical resection. The present study aimed to retrospectively describe our experience with a case of neurilemmoma of the tongue presenting in childhood, the diagnostic methods used, the surgical decision, and the treatment outcome and to analyze the data and review the literature available on this type of tumor. The etiology, clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, and management are discussed.&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/22976705?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanin, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piscianz, Elisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tricarico, Paola Maura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vuch, Josef</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girardelli, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bianco, Anna Monica</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%">Lovastatin-induced apoptosis is modulated by geranylgeraniol in a neuroblastoma cell line.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Dev Neurosci</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int.

In our study we have investigated the apoptotic mechanism mediated by the exposure of the cultured neuroblastoma cell line, SH-SY5Y, to lovastatin in absence or in presence of the isoprenoid, geranylgeraniol, with the aim of unraveling the pathogenesis of MA. Lovastatin, blocks the mevalonate pathway inhibiting the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMG-CR), an enzyme of the mevalonate pathway upstream the mevalonate kinase enzyme, reproducing biochemical features similar to those found in MKD. We demonstrate that apoptosis in neuronal lovastatin treated-cells is induced by the mitochondrial pathway, with caspase-9 as the initiator and caspase-3 as the effector caspase. The presence of geranylgeraniol modulates both the caspase-9 and caspase-3 activity in a dose-dependent way, confirming that this isoprenoid enters the mevalonate pathway, is metabolized and finally is able to by-pass the statin biochemical block reconstituting the mevalonate pathway. According to our findings, it should not be the time course adopted that modulates the apoptotic response but rather the isoprenoid itself. Being aware that our results have been obtained using a biochemical model of MKD, and not cells from patients with the disease, we believe our findings increase the knowledge of MA pathogenesis, and may possibly contribute to the development of novel therapeutic strategies.&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/22759742?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dani, Carlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lori, Ilaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Favelli, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Frosini, Saverio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Messner, Hubert</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wanker, Petra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Marini, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oretti, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boldrini, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Massimiliano, Ciantelli</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bragetti, Patrizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Germini, Cristiana</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lutein and zeaxanthin supplementation in preterm infants to prevent retinopathy of prematurity: a randomized controlled study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

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%">Pennesi, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">L'erario, Ines</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Travan, Laura</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%">Managing children under 36 months of age with febrile urinary tract infection: a new approach.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Nephrol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr.

For both MBL2 and MASP2 genes, the frequencies of polymorphisms are extremely variable between different ethnicities, and this aspect has to be carefully considered when performing genetic studies. While polymorphisms in the MBL-encoding gene (MBL2) have been associated, depending upon ethnicity, with several diseases in different populations, little is known about the distribution of MASP2 gene polymorphisms in human populations. The aim of our study was thus to determine the frequencies of MBL2 (exon 1 and promoter) and MASP2 (p.D371Y) polymorphisms in a Brazilian population from Rio de Janeiro. A total of 294 blood donor samples were genotyped for 27 polymorphisms in the MBL2 gene by direct sequencing of a region spanning from the promoter polymorphism H/L rs11003125 to the rs1800451 polymorphism (at codon 57 in the first exon of the gene). Genotyping for MASP2 p.D371Y was carried out using fluorogenic probes. To our knowledge, this is the first study reporting the prevalence of the MASP2 p.D371Y polymorphism in a Brazilian population. The C allele frequency 39% is something intermediate between the reported 14% in Europeans and 90% in Sub-Saharan Africans. MBL2 polymorphisms frequencies were quite comparable to those previously reported for admixed Brazilians. Both MBL2 and MASP2 polymorphisms frequencies reported in our study for the admixed Brazilian population are somehow intermediate between those reported in Europeans and Africans, reflecting the ethnic composition of the southern Brazilian population, estimated to derive from an admixture of Caucasian (31%), African (34%) and Native American (33%) populations. In conclusion, our population genetic study describes the frequencies of MBL2 and MASP2 functional SNPs in a population from Rio de Janeiro, with the aim of adding new information concerning the distribution of these SNPs in a previously unanalysed Brazilian population, thus providing a new genetic tool for the evaluation of the association of MBL2 and MASP2 functional SNPs with diseases in Brazil, with particular emphasis on the state of Rio de Janeiro.&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/22035380?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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 face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22203857?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Melloni, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Voltan, Rebecca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Norcio, Alessia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celeghini, Claudio</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%">MCL1 down-regulation plays a critical role in mediating the higher anti-leukaemic activity of the multi-kinase inhibitor Sorafenib with respect to Dasatinib.</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.

Since Nutlin-3 displays non cell-autonomous tumor-suppressor activities, we wanted to investigate its effect on dendritic cell functions, given the central role of these cells in the modulation of the immune response. We found that Nutlin-3 alone slightly affected the levels of major histocompatibility complex and costimulatory molecules and significantly promoted the ability of dendritic cells to stimulate T cells in the mixed lymphocyte reaction. Taken together, our findings suggest that the ability of Nutlin-3 to modulate dendritic cell functions and therefore lymphocyte proliferation might represent an additional important mechanism by which Nutlin-3 exerts its non cell-autonomous tumor-suppression function.&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/22374325?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Cuneo, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maestri, Iva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Melloni, Elisabetta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pozzato, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soffritti, Olga</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%">Merkel-cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) is rarely associated to B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia (1 out of 50) samples and occurs late in the natural history of the disease.</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.

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%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</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%">Gattorno, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Frenkel, Joost</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mevalonate kinase deficiency: disclosing the role of mevalonate pathway modulation in inflammation.</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.

In recent years, a complex network of proteins in charge of inflammation control has been revealed by the study of hereditary periodic fever syndromes. Most of these proteins belong to a few families and share the capability of sensing pathogen-associated and damageassociated molecular patterns. By interacting with each other, these proteins participate in the assembly of molecular platforms, called inflammasomes, which ultimately lead to the activation of cytokines, to the transcription of inflammatory genes or to the induction of cell apoptosis. Among hereditary periodic fever syndromes, mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) is the sole in which the phenotype did not directly associate with a deficiency of these proteins, but with a metabolic defect of the mevalonate pathway, highlighting the importance of this metabolic pathway in the inflammation control. Noteworthy, drugs acting on this pathway can greatly influence the inflammatory response. The modulation of inflammation by mevalonate pathway is of interest, since it may involve mechanisms not directly referable to inflammasomes. MKD provides a model to study these mechanisms and possibly to develop new classes of anti-inflammatory drugs.&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/22726114?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Zampieri, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montalvo, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blanco, Mariana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanin, Irene</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amartino, Hernan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vlahovicek, Kristian</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Szlago, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schenone, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pittis, Gabriela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bembi, Bruno</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dardis, Andrea</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molecular analysis of HEXA gene in Argentinean patients affected with Tay-Sachs disease: possible common origin of the prevalent c.459+5A&gt;G mutation.</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%">Cohort Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hexosaminidase A</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%">Mutation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tay-Sachs Disease</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 May 15</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">499</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">262-5</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Tay-Sachs disease (TSD) is a recessively inherited disorder caused by the deficient activity of hexosaminidase A due to mutations in the HEXA gene. Up to date there is no information regarding the molecular genetics of TSD in Argentinean patients. In the present study we have studied 17 Argentinean families affected by TSD, including 20 patients with the acute infantile form and 3 with the sub-acute form. Overall, we identified 14 different mutations accounting for 100% of the studied alleles. Eight mutations were novel: 5 were single base changes leading to drastic residue changes or truncated proteins, 2 were small deletions and one was an intronic mutation that may cause a splicing defect. Although the spectrum of mutations was highly heterogeneous, a high frequency of the c.459+5G&gt;A mutation, previously described in different populations was found among the studied cohort. Haplotype analysis suggested that in these families the c.459+5G&gt;A mutation might have arisen by a single mutational event.&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/22441121?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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 face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22952768?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bua, J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Travan, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Davanzo, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Demarini, S</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">More on professionals' attitudes on blood-tinged milk: a survey from Italy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Perinatol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Perinatol</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Attitude of Health Personnel</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Breast Feeding</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clinical Protocols</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%">Intensive Care Units, Neonatal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Intensive Care, Neonatal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milk, Human</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Professional Practice</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 Mar</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">32</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">243-4</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><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/22370899?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Economou, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Batzios, Spyros P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecci, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Printza, Nikoletta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savoia, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barozzi, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Theodoridou, Stamatia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Teli, Aikaterini</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Psillas, Georgios</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zafeiriou, Dimitrios I</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MYH9-related disorders: report on a patient of Greek origin presenting with macroscopic hematuria and presenile cataract, caused by an R1165C mutation.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Pediatr Hematol Oncol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Genetic and molecular studies have confirmed that in the human brain, amyloid-β fibrils can induce, through the activation of NALP1 inflammosome, inflammatory and apoptotic responses involved in the pathogenesis of AD. Considering that AD pathogenesis is multifactorial, we hypothesized that NALP1/NLRP1 could be a susceptibility gene involved in the devolvement of the disease. The possible association between 9 selected polymorphisms in the NALP1/NLRP1 gene and AD was evaluated by comparing their frequency distribution in an Italian cohort of AD patients (AD, n = 276) and in a group of Italian sex-matched and age-matched healthy controls without dementia (HC, n = 266). Our study, evidences the association of 4 nonsynonymous polymorphisms in the NLRP1 gene (rs2137722, rs34733791, rs11657747, rs11651595) with AD. The major alleles of all 4 single nucleotide polymorphisms and the corresponding homozygote genotypes were more frequent in AD patients than in healthy controls, suggesting an association of these variants in the predisposition versus the development of the disease. These findings seem to support the previously reported role of NALP1 in neuronal damage, and provide evidence of an association between single nucleotide variations in the NLRP1 gene and AD.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

present work, four SuperSAGE libraries have been generated, using bulked root tissues from four drought-tolerant accessions as compared with four bulked sensitive genotypes, aiming to generate a panel of differentially expressed stress-responsive genes. Both groups were submitted to 24 hours of water deficit stress. The SuperSAGE libraries produced 8,787,315 tags (26 bp) that, after exclusion of singlets, allowed the identification of 205,975 unitags. Most relevant BlastN matches comprised 567,420 tags, regarding 75,404 unitags with 164,860 different ESTs. To optimize the annotation efficiency, the Gene Ontology (GO) categorization was carried out for 186,191 ESTs (BlastN against Uniprot-SwissProt), permitting the categorization of 118,208 ESTs (63.5%). In an attempt to elect a group of the best tags to be validated by RTqPCR, the GO categorization of the tag-related ESTs allowed the in silico identification of 213 upregulated unitags responding basically to abiotic stresses, from which 145 presented no hits after BlastN analysis, probably concerning new genes still uncovered in previous studies. The present report analyzes the sugarcane transcriptome under drought stress, using a combination of high-throughput transcriptome profiling by SuperSAGE with the Solexa sequencing technology, allowing the identification of potential target genes during the stress response.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22629208?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Feldmann, Marc</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">NF-κB as a target for modulating inflammatory responses.</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.

Multiple inflammatory cells and molecules are involved. Among the latter, the Nuclear Factor -κB (NF-κB) has been found to be most important and present in all cell types. NF-B regulates the expression of a large number of genes involved in inflammation. NF-κB plays a key role in the orchestration of the multifaceted inflammatory response, not only in the first pro-inflammatory phase, but also later in the regulation of the resolution of inflammation, when anti-inflammatory genes are expressed and apoptosis is induced. The review describes NF-κB and its two pathways: the canonical, mediated by the p65 and p50 subunits, and the non-canonical, mediated by the subunits RelB, p52 and p50. The relevance of the kinases and interactions leading to NF-κB activation is considered in different primary cells (i.e. macrophages, dendritic cells, fibroblasts, cells from inflammatory tissues), together with the response induced and the ligand involved. Then we overview the different steps to NF-B activation that can be targeted (IKKs, IκBα or NF-κB subunits themselves) with various technologies available i.e. small molecules peptides or nucleic acids. A rationale is provided for possible targets to consider, in the light that NF-κB signaling pathways regulates both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses. The possibility of using NF-κB targeted dendritic cells in immunotherapy is considered.&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/22726116?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girardelli, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maestri, Iva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rinaldi, Rosa R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tognon, Mauro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boldorini, Renzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bovenzi, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</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%">NLRP1 polymorphisms in patients with asbestos-associated mesothelioma.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infect Agent Cancer</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infect.

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"

The study design was case series. ED syndromes (EDs) are a heterogeneous group of inherited diseases characterised by abnormal development of tissues of ectodermal origin. The most common form of EDs is X linked hypohidrotic ED (HED). Characteristic triad of HED is oligo-anodontia, hypotricosis, hypo-anhydrosis. Oligo-anodontia is one of the most severe impairment, since it affects chewing, swallowing, speech, esthetics and social relation. Early prosthetic rehabilitation (at 2-3 years of age), with partial or complete dentures, is essential to improve oral function and reduce the social impairment.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22729329?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Ronfani, Luca</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oral zinc for treating diarrhoea in children.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cochrane Database Syst Rev</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cochrane Database Syst Rev</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%">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%">Diarrhea</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%">Randomized Controlled Trials as Topic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Time Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trace Elements</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zinc</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%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CD005436</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;In developing countries, diarrhoea causes around two million child 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%">Pastore, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Naviglio, Samuele</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%">Pathergy as a cause of false-positive tuberculin skin test.</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.

The protocol presented here aims to increase the awareness of PIDs among doctors working in different fields. Prompt identification of PID is important for prognosis, but this may not be an easy task. The protocol therefore starts from the clinical presentation of the patient. Because PIDs may present at all ages, this protocol is aimed at both adult and paediatric physicians. The multi-stage design allows cost-effective screening for PID of the large number of potential cases in the early phases, with more expensive tests reserved for definitive classification in collaboration with a specialist in the field of immunodeficiency at a later stage.&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/22132890?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Stocco, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Iudicibus, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Franca, Raffaella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Addobbati, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decorti, Giuliana</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Personalized therapies in pediatric inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.</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.

Among the most important ones, in terms of their diffusion and morbidity in the population worldwide, pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) have to be considered. The aim of personalized therapy is to give to each patient the most appropriate drug and dose regimen, in order to maximize treatment response and reduce the risk of adverse events. In general, several therapeutic options exist for pediatric inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, therefore the perspective of pharmacological tools that allow identification of patients with increased risk of treatment issues related to a particular medication, in terms of lack of efficacy or increased probability of adverse events, is particularly desirable and promising. The present review will be focused on the personalized therapy approaches already available or in development for pediatric patients with IBD or JRA, comprising pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and pharmacogenetic assays.&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/22726111?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berti, I</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecile, V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cleva, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberini, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bruno, I</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%">Phylloid pattern of hypomelanosis closely related to chromosomal abnormalities in the 13q detected by SNP array analysis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dermatology</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dermatology (Basel)</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chromosomes, Human, Pair 13</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hypopigmentation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mosaicism</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></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%">225</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">294-7</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Phylloid hypomelanosis is a distinct type of pigmentary mosaicism characterized by congenital hypochromic macules resembling a floral ornament with various elements such as round or oval patches, asymmetrical macules similar to begonia leaves, or oblong lesions. It has been found to be predominantly associated with abnormalities in chromosome 13 and sometimes as-sociated with different extracutaneous abnormalities. Here, we report 2 new cases of phylloid hypomelanosis due to mosaicism involving chromosome 13. The first one is a mosaicism for a supernumerary marker belonging to chromosome 13 and the second one is the first report of phylloid hypomelanosis associated with a mosaic deletion of 13q. Because of the extremely low level of mosaicism in these 2 cases, SNP array analysis on skin fibroblasts was carried out, showing a 13q21.33-q34 duplication (71,024,411-115,103,529) and a 13q13.3-q34 (38,368,012-115,103,529) deletion. Both cases underline on the one hand the strict connection between phylloid hypomelanosis and anomalies of chromosome 13, and on the other hand the relevance of the SNP array analysis on skin fibroblasts in the detection of low-level mosaicism.&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/23095783?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pontillo, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girardelli, Martina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kamada, Anselmo J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pancotto, Joao A T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Donadi, Eduardo A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandrin-Garcia, Paula</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polimorphisms in inflammasome genes are involved in the predisposition to systemic lupus erythematosus.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Autoimmunity</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Autoimmunity</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adaptor Proteins, Signal Transducing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alleles</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Apoptosis Regulatory Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brazil</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%">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%">Inflammasomes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic</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></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%">45</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">271-8</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Recent findings provide evidence of inflammasome critical role in the predisposition to autoimmune disorders. The involvement of inflammasome in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has been hypothesized even if no significant association within inflammasome genes mutations or polymorphisms and lupus has been reported yet. We analyzed 14 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within 7 inflammasome genes (NLRP1, NLRP3, NLRC4, AIM2, CARD8, CASP1, IL1B) in 144 patients affected by systemic lupus erythematosus and in 158 healthy controls from Southern Brazilian (state of São Paulo) with the aim of disclosing the possible role of inflammasome genes in the susceptibility of SLE. Our results demonstrated that NLRP1 rs2670660 SNP and the NLRP1 rs12150220-rs2670660 A-G haplotype were associated with SLE in our study population, and in particular with the development of nephritis, rash and arthritis. These findings are concordant with previously reported association of NLRP1 with vitiligo and type-1 diabetes underlining once more the involvement of NALP1 inflammasome in the pathogenesis of autoimmune disorders.&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/22235789?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">da Silva, Ronaldo Celerino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, Ludovica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanin, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arraes, Luiz Claudio</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%">Polymorphisms in DC-SIGN and L-SIGN genes are associated with HIV-1 vertical transmission in a Northeastern Brazilian population.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum.

Insulin replacement therapy can treat T1DM, which, however, is still associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. For this reason, great effort is being put into developing strategies that could eventually prevent and/or cure this disease. These strategies are mainly focused on blocking the immune system from attacking β-cells together with functional islet restoration either by regeneration or transplantation. Recent experimental evidences suggest that TNFrelated apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), which is an immune system modulator protein, could represent an interesting candidate for the cure for T1DM and/or its complications. Here we review the evidences on the potential role of TRAIL in the management of T1DM.&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/22726118?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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"

Diagnostic work-up of SB included obstetric history, neonatologist inspection, placenta histology, autopsy, microbiology/chromosome evaluations. Results audited in each centre were classified by two of us by using CoDAC. Cases were subdivided into explained SB where a cause of death was identified and although no defined cause was detected in the remnants, 64 cases found conditions associated with placenta-vascular disorders (including preeclampsia, growth restriction and placenta abruption - PVD). In the remnant 79 cases, no cause of death or associated condition was found. Antithrombin activity, Factor V Leiden, G20210A Prothrombin mutation (FII mutation) and acquired thrombophilia were analysed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Overall, the presence of a thrombophilic defect was significantly more prevalent in mothers with SBs compared to controls. In particular, SB mothers showed an increased risk of carrying Factor II mutation (OR=3.2, 95% CI: 1.3-8.3, p=0.01), namely in unexplained cases. Such mutation was significantly associated also with previous SB (OR=8.9, 95%CI 1.2-70.5). At multiple logistic regression, Factor II mutation was the only significantly associated variable with SB (adj OR=3.8, 95% CI: 1.3-13.5).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;These data suggest that Factor II mutation is the only condition specifically associated with unexplained SB and could represents a risk of recurrence. PVD-associated condition is unrelated to thrombophilia.&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/21945103?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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. Participatory research and evidence-based interventions are needed to improve health outcomes and living conditions of the Roma and Sinti people.&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/22870583?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Abate, Maria Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Davanzo, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bibalo, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zennaro, Floriana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berti, Irene</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RICH (rapidly involuting congenital hemangioma): not only a definition of wealth.</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.

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%">Tricarico, Paola Maura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanin, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kleiner, Giulio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bianco, Anna Monica</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%">Serum amyloid A and cholesterol: a pivotal role on inflammation.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amyloid</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amyloid</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Serum Amyloid A Protein</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 Sep</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">163-4;

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%">Tisato, Veronica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biolo, Gianni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Donatelli, Francesco</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%">Simultaneous determination of multiple cytokines reveals a pro-inflammatory and pro-angiogenic signature after major cardiothoracic surgery: potential role of C-reactive protein.</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%">C-Reactive Protein</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coronary Artery Bypass</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cytokines</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%">Neovascularization, Physiologic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk Factors</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%">60</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">593-5</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><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/22981204?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Tonini, Giorgio</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%">Slow growth: do not forget the thyroid.</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.

Blood samples were obtained within 24 h after abortion (RM) or at gestational 12-week (normal pregnant women). As additional controls, third-trimester normal pregnant women (n = 28) were examined before (within 72 h) and after (within 24 h) partum.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;The concentrations of TRAIL were analysed in serum samples by ELISA. In parallel, the effect of soluble recombinant TRAIL (0.1-1000 ng/ml) was analysed on the survival of primary extravillus trophoblasts (EVTs) and on the survival, proliferation, adhesion and migration of trophoblastic HTR8 cells.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE: &lt;/b&gt;The circulating levels of TRAIL in RM women (median: 52.5 pg/ml; mean and SD: 55.5 ± 24.4 pg/ml) were significantly higher with respect to first-trimester normal pregnant women (median: 44.9 pg/ml; mean and SD: 47 ± 15.1 pg/ml) and third-trimester normal pregnant women, as assessed before (median: 45.1 pg/ml; mean and SD: 46 ± 12.4 pg/ml) and after partum (median: 35.4 pg/ml; mean and SD: 38 + 17.5 pg/ml). Both primary EVT and HTR8 cells expressed detectable levels of TRAIL death receptors, but exposure to soluble recombinant TRAIL did not induce cell death of trophoblastic cells. On the other hand, TRAIL dose-dependently inhibited the adhesion of HTR8 cells to decidual endothelial cells (DEC) as well as the migration of HTR8 in transwell assays using either fibronectin or DEC.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION: &lt;/b&gt;Although this study suggests that TRAIL might have a pathogenic role in RM by inhibiting both the adhesion and migration capabilities of first trimester trophoblastic cells, there is a possibility that the elevated serum levels of TRAIL in RM are not cause but rather the result of RM.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;Our current findings together with data of other authors suggest that circulating TRAIL should be further analysed as a potential important biomarker in different physiopathological settings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;STUDY FUNDING/COMPETING INTEREST(S): &lt;/b&gt;This study was funded by FIRB projects (RBAP11Z4Z9_002 to Giorgio Zauli and RBAP10447J_002 to Paola Secchiero).

Thus, in this study we investigated the effect of the combination of sorafenib plus nutlin-3 in acute myeloid leukemia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Primary acute myeloid leukemia blasts (n=13) and FLT3(wild-type)/p53(wild-type) (OCI-AML3), FLT3(mutated)/p53(wild-type) (MOLM), FLT3(mutated)/p53(mutated) (MV4-11), FLT3(wild-type)/p53(deleted) (HL60) or FLT3(wild-type)/p53(mutated) (NB4) acute myeloid cell lines were exposed to sorafenib, used alone or in association with nutlin-3 at a 1:1 ratio, in a range of clinically achievable concentrations (1-10 μM). Induction of apoptosis and autophagy was evaluated by transmission electron microscopy and by specific flow cytometry analyses. The levels of Mcl-1, p53 and Bak proteins were analyzed by western blotting. Knock-down of Bax and Bak gene expression was performed in transfection experiments with specific short interfering RNA.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The sorafenib+nutlin-3 drug combination exhibits synergistic cytotoxicity in primary acute myeloid leukemia blasts and in acute myeloid leukemia cell lines with maximal cytotoxicity in FLT3(mutated) MV4-11 and MOLM, followed by the FLT3(wild-type) OCI-AML3, HL60 and NB4 cell lines. The cytotoxic activity of sorafenib+nutlin-3 was characterized by an increase of both apoptosis and autophagy. Moreover, Bax and Bak showed prominent roles in mediating the decrease of cell viability in response to the drug combination in p53(wild-type) OCI-AML3 and p53(deleted) HL-60 cells, respectively, as demonstrated in transfection experiments performed with specific short interfering RNA.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our data demonstrate that acute myeloid leukemia cells show a variable but overall good susceptibility to the innovative therapeutic combination of sorafenib+nutlin-3, which differentially involves the pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family members Bax and Bak in p53(wild-type) and p53(deleted) cells.&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/22689683?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanin, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Delbue, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tavazzi, Eleonora</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Del Savio, Rossella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marchioni, Enrico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrante, Pasquale</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%">Specific protein profile in cerebrospinal fluid from HIV-1-positive cART-treated patients affected by neurological disorders.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Neurovirol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

We defined the profile of 48 cytokines/chemokines in cerebrospinal fluid from 18 cART patients with chronic HIV-1 infection by Luminex technology. Nine patients were affected with leukoencephalopathies: five with John Cunningham virus (JCV) + progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) and four with JCV-not determined leukoencephalopathy (NDLE). In addition, nine HIV-1-positive patients with no neurological signs (NND) and five HIV-1-negative patients affected with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) were enrolled. Ten cytokines (IL-15, IL-3, IL-16, IL-18, CTACK, GRO1, SCF, MCP-1, MIF, SDF) were highly expressed in HIV-1-positive patients while IL-1Ra and IL-17 were present at a lower level. In addition, the levels of IL-17, IL-9, FGF-basic, MIP-1β, and MCP-1 were significantly higher (p &lt; 0.05) in patients with neurological diseases (PML, NDLE, ADEM) with respect to NND. Focusing the attention to the cytokine profile in JCV + PML patients with respect to JCV-NDLE patients, only TNF-β was significantly downregulated (p &lt; 0.05) in JCV + PML patients. This pilot study emphasized the role of immunoregulation in HIV-1-related neurological disorders during cART treatment.&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/22581428?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">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%">State of art and recent developments of anti-cancer strategies based on TRAIL.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Recent Pat Anticancer Drug Discov</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Recent Pat Anticancer Drug Discov</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antineoplastic Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antineoplastic Combined Chemotherapy Protocols</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Apoptosis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clinical Trials as Topic</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%">Neoplasms</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Receptors, Death Domain</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 May 1</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">207-17</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Multicellular organisms require apoptosis whereby the human body eliminates unnecessary and/or damaged cells. Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, can indeed be considered as a constitutive anti-cancer mechanism that seems to be defective in more than 50% of cancers. Molecular insights on the biology of the apoptotic process have led to the development of new anti-cancer strategies aiming at recovering and stimulating this process. Preclinical and clinical studies of our and other groups have demonstrated that targeting the extrinsic apoptotic pathway by various death receptors agonists is a safe and effective anti-cancer strategy, which thus may become a new cornerstone of cancer therapy. Here, we review the most recent acquisitions and patents on TRAIL or TRAIL mimetics, as well as the combination therapies that could be used with them.&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/22114983?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Voltan, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tisato, V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Secchiero, P</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">State of the art of the therapeutic perspective of sorafenib against hematological malignancies.</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.

Eleven years after its first description in PubMed, the therapeutic potential of Sorafenib has been evaluated in an increasing number of studies, mainly focused on solid tumors. More recently, the potential usefullness of Sorafenib has started to emerge also against hematological malignancies. At the molecular level, besides the RAF kinase pathway, which represents the first therapeutic target of Sorafenib, additional kinases, in particular the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, have been identified as important targets of Sorafenib. A great interest for the potential use of Sorafenib against acute myeloid leukemia (AML) arose when it was demonstrated that a specific mutation of a kinase gene, called FMS-like tyrosin-kinase-3- internal tandem duplication (FLT-3-ITD) and occurring in more than 30% of AML, represents a molecular target of Sorafenib. However, recent phase I and II clinical studies showed that, in spite of its ability to suppress the activity of this mutated kinase, resistence to Sorafenib rapidly occurs in AML, suggesting that Sorafenib will be more effective in combined therapy than used as single drug. Another critical molecular target of Sorafenib is the anti-apoptotic protein Mcl-1. The ability of Sorafenib to rapidly shut-off Mcl-1 in virtually all the hematological malignancies investigated, including the B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia, represents a key element for its antileukemic activity as well as for therapeutic combinations based on Sorafenib. In this respect, it is of particular interest that many chemotherapeutic drugs or innovative anti-neoplastic compounds, such as recombinant TRAIL or inibitors of MDM2 protein, are either unable to down-regulate Mcl-1 or in some instances promote a paradoxical induction of Mcl-1. In this review, the growing evidences for the role of Mcl-1 in mediating the anti-leukemic activity of Sorafenib will be discussed in relationship with promising therapeutic perspectives.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">28</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22934770?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fulle, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Centurione, Lucia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mancinelli, Rosa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sancilio, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Manzoli, Francesco Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Pietro, Roberta</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stem cell ageing and apoptosis.</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.

In spite of the number of different theories about ageing, there is a general consensus in identifying ageing effects in a reduced capacity to regenerate injured tissues or organs and an increased propensity to infections and cancer. In recent years the stem cell theory of ageing has gained much attention. Adult stem cells residing in mammalian tissues are essential for tissue homeostasis and repair throughout adult life. With advancing age, the highly regulated molecular signalling necessary to ensure proper cellular, tissue, and organ homeostasis loses coordination and leads, as a consequence, to a compromised potential of regeneration and repair of damaged cells and tissues. Although a complete comprehension of the molecular mechanisms involved in stem cell ageing and apoptosis is far to be reached, recent studies are beginning to unravel the processes involved in stem cell ageing, particularly in adult skeletal muscle stem cells, namely satellite cells. Thus, the focus of this review is to analyse the relationship between stem cell ageing and apoptosis with a peculiar attention to human satellite cells as compared to haematopoietic stem cells.

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"

It has not been determined yet whether systemic TRAIL delivery would prevent the metabolic abnormalities due to an HFD [HF (high-fat) diet]. For this purpose, 27 male C57bl6 mice aged 8 weeks were randomly fed on a standard diet, HFD or HFD+TRAIL for 12 weeks. TRAIL was delivered weekly by intraperitoneal injection. Body composition was evaluated; indirect calorimetry studies, GTT (glucose tolerance test) and ITT (insulin tolerance test) were performed. Pro-inflammatory cytokines, together with adipose tissue gene expression and apoptosis, were measured. TRAIL treatment reduced significantly the increased adiposity associated with an HFD. Moreover, it reduced significantly hyperglycaemia and hyperinsulinaemia during a GTT and it improved significantly the peripheral response to insulin. TRAIL reversed the changes in substrate utilization induced by the HFD and ameliorated skeletal muscle non-esterified fatty acids oxidation rate. This was associated with a significant reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines together with a modulation of adipose tissue gene expression and apoptosis. These findings shed light on the possible anti-adipogenic and anti-inflammatory effects of TRAIL and open new therapeutic possibilities against obesity, systemic inflammation and T2DM (Type 2 DM).&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

apoptosis TRAIL/Apo2 ligand is now under considerations in clinical trials for the treatment of different types of cancer. Since the natural history of cancer is often characterized by microbial infections, we have investigated the effect of recombinant human TRAIL in a mouse model of systemic acute inflammation of microbial origin represented by BALB/c mice treated with either bacterial muramyldipeptide (MDP) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). When administered intraperitoneally (i.p.), these inflammatory bacterial compounds triggered a severe systemic inflammatory response within 2h, represented by body temperature elevation, increase of circulating serum amyloid-A (SAA) and of the number of leukocytes in the peritoneal cavity. Moreover, both MDP and LPS induced a significant elevation of the circulating levels of several inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Noteworthy, pre-treatment with recombinant human TRAIL 48 and 72 h before administration of either MDP or LPS, significantly counteracted all acute inflammatory responses, including the elevation of key pro-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines such as IL-1α, IL-6, G-CSF, MCP-1.

Various attempts have been made to treat bone disease both by modifying the composition of PN and by administering hormones, such as calcitonin, parathyroid hormone, and sexual hormones. Bisphosphonates are recognized as a medication useful for the treatment of several bone disorders associated with excessive reabsorption. Nevertheless, there have been no paediatric studies on bisphosphonates use for intestinal failure-associated bone disease. Our study includes 6 paediatric patients receiving extremely long-term home PN (at least 3 years) who showed radiological and clinical signs of osteoporosis. Diagnosis of bone disease was made after a median period of 127.5 PN months. Treatment consisted in 2 cycles of intravenous pamidronate, 30 mg/m once per month for 6 months consecutively. They all showed a significant improvement in bone mineral density, evaluated after 6 and 12 months of pamidronate treatment. In our sample anthropometrical variables (weight, height, and body mass index) are not related with the z-score trend. Our patients had normal levels of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D, and proper nutrient intake. At the last follow-up, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan showed that no patients had a z-score lower than -2.5; moreover, nobody developed bone fractures during the 108-month follow-up. The patients did not have any prominent adverse effect. Finally, in our experience, pamidronate is effective for improving bone mineral density and safe in patients with intestinal failure-associated bone 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/22614111?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabretto, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faletra, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mocenigo, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morgan, A</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%">Two Novel COH1 Mutations in an Italian Patient with Cohen Syndrome.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Syndromol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mol Syndromol</style></alt-title></titles><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%">3</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">30-33</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ENG</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Cohen syndrome (CS) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the COH1 gene.

We investigated an Italian patient with CS together with his family. Genetic analysis disclosed 2 novel mutations: the first is an intronic mutation (c.8697-9A&gt;G) creating a new splice site 8 nucleotides upstream, and the second is a duplication of 1 base (c.10156dupA) generating a premature stop codon.

In 24/45 patients (53.3%, 12 F and 12 M) an UGI+ involvement was also found. UGI+ patients had a younger age of onset (10.9 years versus 12.6 years; P&lt;0.05). PCDAI at diagnosis was significantly higher in the UGI+ (41 vs. 25 P&lt;0.01). UGI+ patients were overall more symptomatic. Pancolitis and extraintestinal manifestations were also more frequent (19/24 (80%) vs. 12/21 (57%) P&lt;0.01). Growth was more impaired at diagnosis in UGI+ patients. By the end of the follow-up (mean 3 years, range 2 to 4) no significant difference was found in PCDAI (17 in UGI+ patients vs. 11 in UGI- P=NS), or the number of relapses. Weight and growth catch-up in UGI+ patients were comparable to UGI- ones. However, UGI+ patients required a more aggressive therapeutic approach.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;At least half of paediatric onset CD patients have an upper gastrointestinal localisation. UGI+ patients present an earlier onset and a more severe disease. The final outcome does not differ, but UGI+ patients require a more aggressive therapeutic approach.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default"

&lt;/b&gt;Needle-related procedures (venipuncture, intravenous cannulation) 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.

In addition, active lysosomal glycohydrolases have been detected in an extra-lysosomal compartment: the presence of glycohydrolases on the plasma membrane (PM) has been widely demonstrated, and a possible role on the modification of the cell surface glycosphingolipids (GSL) participating in the modulation of cell functions such as cell-to-cell interactions and signal transduction pathways has been proposed. On this basis, the coordinated expression of lysosomal glycohydrolases and their translocation to the PM appear to be crucial for many cellular events. In this paper, we report evidence for the existence of a coordinated mechanism regulating the expression/activity of both lysosomal and PM-associated glycohydrolases. We show that the over-expression of the acidic glycohydrolase β-hexosaminidase α-subunit in mouse NIH/3T3 fibroblasts induces the increased expression of the Hex β-subunit necessary to form the active isoenzyme dimers as well as of other glycohydrolases participating in the GSL catabolism, such as β-galactosidase and β-glucocerebrosidase. More interestingly, this regulatory effect was also extended to the PM-associated hydrolases. In addition, transfected cells displayed a rearrangement of the GSL expression pattern that cannot be simply explained by the increased activity of a single enzyme. These observations clearly indicate that the expression level of metabolically related glycohydrolases is regulated in a coordinated manner and this regulation mechanism also involves the PM-associated isoforms.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

cholerae-derived zonula occludins toxin (Zot) is a multifunctional protein that reversibly disassembles intestinal tight junctions (tjs). Zot structure-function analysis has mapped this activity to aa 288-293, named AT1002. 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%">Pellegrin, Maria Chiara</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></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acute cardiac valvular involvement in Kawasaki Disease.</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.

At the same time, these advances were paralleled by the identification of new clinical patterns associated with CD and by a continuous redefinition of the prevalence of the disease in population. In the beginning, CD was considered a chronic indigestion, even if the causative food was not known; later, the disease was proven to depend on an intolerance to wheat gliadin, leading to typical mucosal changes in the gut and to a malabsorption syndrome. This knowledge led to curing the disease with a gluten-free diet. After the identification of antibodies to gluten (AGA) in the serum of patients and the identification of gluten-specific lymphocytes in the mucosa, CD was described as an immune disorder, resembling a chronic &quot;gluten infection&quot;. The use of serological testing for AGA allowed identification of the higher prevalence of this disorder, revealing atypical patterns of presentation. More recently, the characterization of autoantibodies to endomysium and to transglutaminase shifted the attention to a complex autoimmune pathogenesis and to the increased risk of developing autoimmune disorders in untreated CD. New diagnostic assays, based on molecular technologies, will introduce new changes, with the promise of better defining the spectrum of gluten reactivity and the real burden of gluten related-disorders in the population. Herein, we describe the different periods of CD experience, and further developments for the next celiac age will be proposed.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">32</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21990947?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Tickell, David</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antibiotics in severely malnourished children: systematic review of efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bull World Health Organ</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bull.

Experts were contacted. Conference proceedings and reference lists were manually searched. All study types, except single case reports, were included.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;Two randomized controlled trials (RCTs), one before-and-after study and two retrospective reports on clinical efficacy and safety were retrieved, together with 18 pharmacokinetic studies. Trial quality was generally poor and results could not be pooled due to heterogeneity. Oral amoxicillin for 5 days was as effective as intramuscular ceftriaxone for 2 days (1 RCT). For uncomplicated SAM, amoxicillin showed no benefit over placebo (1 retrospective study). The introduction of a standardized regimen using ampicillin and gentamicin significantly reduced mortality in hospitalized children (odds ratio, OR: 4.0; 95% confidence interval, CI: 1.7-9.8; 1 before-and-after study). Oral chloramphenicol was as effective as trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole in children with pneumonia (1 RCT). Pharmacokinetic data suggest that normal doses of penicillins, cotrimoxazole and gentamicin are safe in malnourished children, while the dose or frequency of chloramphenicol requires adjustment. Existing evidence is not strong enough to further clarify recommendations for antibiotic treatment in children with SAM.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Large RCTs are needed to define optimal antibiotic treatment in children with SAM with and without complications. Further research into gentamicin and chloramphenicol toxicity and into the pharmacokinetics of ceftriaxone and ciprofloxacin is also required.&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/21836758?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Copertino, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Cunto, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minen, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amaddeo, Alessandro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antidepressant drugs and breastfeeding: a review of the literature.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Breastfeed Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Breastfeed Med</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adrenergic Uptake Inhibitors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antidepressive Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antidepressive Agents, Tricyclic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biological Availability</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Breast Feeding</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Depression, Postpartum</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Directive Counseling</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Drug Monitoring</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%">Lactation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lithium Compounds</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maternal Exposure</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milk, Human</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Serotonin Uptake Inhibitors</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%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">89-98</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 use of antidepressants in breastfeeding mothers is controversial: Manufacters often routinely discourage breastfeeding for the nursing mother despite the well-known positive impact that breastfeeding carries on the health of the nursing infant and on his or her family and society. We conducted a systematic review of drugs commonly used in the treatment of postpartum depression. For every single drug two sets of data were provided: (1) selected pharmacokinetic characteristics such as half-life, milk-to-plasma ratio, protein binding, and oral bioavailability and (2) information about lactational risk, according to some authoritative sources of the literature: Drugs in Pregnancy and Lactation edited by Briggs et al. (Lippincott Williams, Philadelphia, 2008), Medications and Mothers' Milk by Hale (Hale Publishing, Amarillo, TX, 2010), and the LactMed database of TOXNET ( www.pubmed.gov ; accessed June 2010). Notwithstanding a certain variability of advice, we found that (1) knowledge of pharmacokinetic characteristics are scarcely useful to assess safety and (2) the majority of antidepressants are not usually contraindicated: (a) Selective serotinin reuptake inhibitors and nortryptiline have a better safety profile during lactation, (b) fluoxetine must be used carefully, (c) the tricyclic doxepine and the atypical nefazodone should better be avoided, and (d) lithium, usually considered as contraindicated, has been recently rehabilitated.&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/20958101?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pontillo, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Toro, Nicola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Edomi, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shadlow, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ammadeo, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gattorno, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Not, T</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lepore, 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%">Anti-α-enolase Antibodies in Serum from Pediatric Patients Affected by Inflammatory Diseases: Diagnostic and Pathogenetic Insights.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Rheumatol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Rheumatol</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%">2011</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">870214</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 glycolytic enzyme α-enolase was associated with human diseases and with inflammation. An ELISA test was developed to measure anti-α-enolase AAE IgG and AAE IgA in the serum from patients affected by inflammatory diseases with the purpose to evaluate it as a novel diagnostic marker. 80 healthy blood donors and 194 paediatric patients affected by Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), celiac disease (CD), Crohn's Disease (CrD), hereditary periodic fever (HPF), and PFAPA syndrome were included in the study. HPF patients showed high levels of AAE antibodies, whereas JIA, CD, and CrD presented only partial results. Benign fevers such as PFAPA were almost negative for AAE Abs. These findings suggested that the genetic dysfunction of inflammasome associated with HPF could lead to the formation of AAE Abs that could be used for an early and easy diagnosis.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22007226?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sorice, Rossella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bione, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sansanelli, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ulivi, Sheila</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Athanasakis, Emmanouil</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lanzara, Carmela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nutile, Teresa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sala, Cinzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Camaschella, Clara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">d'Adamo, Pio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ciullo, Marina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toniolo, Daniela</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Association of a variant in the CHRNA5-A3-B4 gene cluster region to heavy smoking in the Italian population.</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.

Linkage and genome-wide association studies have shown many chromosomal regions and genes associated with different smoking behaviors. One study was the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CHRNA5-A3-B4 gene cluster to nicotine addiction. Here, we report a replication of this association in the Italian population represented by three genetically isolated populations. One, the Val Borbera, is a genetic isolate from North-Western Italy; the Cilento population, is located in South-Western Italy; and the Carlantino village is located in South-Eastern Italy. Owing to their position and their isolation, the three populations have a different environment, different history and genetic structure. The variant A of the rs1051730 SNP was significantly associated with smoking quantity in two populations, Val Borbera and Cilento, no association was found in Carlantino population probably because difference in LD pattern in the variant region.&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/21248747?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Volpato, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrucci, Luigi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Secchiero, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corallini, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zuliani, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fellin, Renato</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guralnik, Jack M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bandinelli, Stefania</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%">Association of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand with total and cardiovascular mortality in older adults.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Atherosclerosis</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Atherosclerosis</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%">Ankle Brachial Index</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cardiovascular Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Follow-Up Studies</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%">Middle Aged</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 Apr</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">215</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">452-8</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;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) exhibits biological activity on vascular cells in vitro. Rapid variation of circulating TRAIL levels occurs during acute coronary ischemia, suggesting that biological pathways involving TRAIL may be activated during ischemic heart disease. However, whether differential levels of soluble TRAIL in normal individuals are associated with adverse health outcomes has not been investigated. We tested the hypothesis that TRAIL levels predict mortality in a population based sample of community dwelling men and women.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Plasma TRAIL level was measured by ELISA at baseline in 1282 adults (mean age 68 years) enrolled in the InCHIANTI study. Vital status was ascertained over the six-year follow-up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;In multivariable Cox regression analysis adjusted for potential confounders including prevalent cardiovascular diseases (CVD), ankle-brachial index, electrocardiogram abnormalities, and inflammatory markers, baseline TRAIL levels were inversely related to all-cause mortality (p=0.008). In stratified analyses, the prognostic effect of TRAIL level was strong and highly significant in participants with prevalent CVD (N=321), (lowest versus highest quartile: HR 3.1; 95% CI 1.5-6.5) while it was negligible in those free of CVD (p value for the interaction term between CVD status and TRAIL levels=0.038). Similar findings were obtained when CVD mortality was considered as the outcome of interest.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;In older patients with CVD, low levels of TRAIL were associated with increased risk of death over a period of 6 years. Lower concentration of circulating TRAIL may be related to the clinical evolution of older adults with CVD.&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/21122855?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pellegrin, M C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gregori, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wientroub, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Padeh, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lepore, L</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Atlanto-axial joint involvement as exclusive manifestation of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).</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.

&lt;/b&gt;This study assessed the prevalence and duration of breastfeeding up to 24 months and the associated socioeconomic determinants in a birth cohort of children.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Four hundred infants born in a hospital in the north east of Italy were enrolled at birth and followed up for 36 months. Data on infant feeding were gathered through a feeding diary compiled at fixed intervals. Data were also gathered on type of delivery and weight, length, and health status at birth, as well as on selected socioeconomic indicators of the mothers. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine any association that exclusivity and duration of breastfeeding may have with selected socioeconomic variables and with health conditions of the infants at birth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Ninety-eight percent of mothers initiated breastfeeding, 69% of them exclusively. This rate, however, had declined to 6% by 6 months. There was a remarkable endurance of breastfeeding at 24 months (12%). The variables significantly associated with exclusive breastfeeding at 3 months and any form of breastfeeding at 12 months are mother's age (p=0.007 at 3 months, p=0.026 at 12 months) and postdischarge hospital admission (p=0.029 at 3 months).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;In this population, breastfeeding rates are higher than previously reported, but lower than recommended, especially as far as exclusivity is concerned. Full implementation of the World Health Organization-UNICEF Baby Friendly Initiatives in hospitals and communities is needed to improve them further. Monitoring systems should include the collection of data on breastfeeding beyond 12 months of age.&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/21770733?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parco, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Città, Angelo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vascotto, Fulvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tamaro, Giorgio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celiac disease and immigration in Northeastern Italy: the &quot;drawn double nostalgia&quot; of &quot;cozonac&quot; and &quot;panettone&quot; slices.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin Exp Gastroenterol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin Exp Gastroenterol</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%">4</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">121-5</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Many investigators consider children's drawings to be an important test in the evaluation of stress and anxiety, but few studies have examined the reliability and validity of indicators of emotional distress in children's projective drawings. In this report, we describe screening tests in children coming to the Friuli Venezia Giulia region in Northeastern Italy from non-European Union regions and suspected to have celiac disease, the problems involved in diagnosis of the disease, and the &quot;drawn double nostalgia&quot; of Romanian children for both Italian food and traditional Romanian foods. Of 3150 Western European cases, we found 712 with positive antibodies for IgA/IgG antitransglutaminase, 174 with a positive antiendomysium antibody confirmation test, and 20 with an IgA deficit. Of the children examined, 93% were children native to Western Europe, 4% were immigrants from Eastern Europe, and 1.6% originated from Africa. Among these, four Romanian children with celiac disease brought in their drawings, as requested in a hospital questionnaire. The prevalence of celiac disease is destined to increase among immigrants. Economic problems are common, and the twin nostalgia of immigrant children for foods and tastes that are &quot;cozonac&quot; (from the native country) and &quot;panettone&quot; (Italian cake flavor) represents a problem that will be difficult to resolve. Only some children's hospitals in Italy, ie, Burlo Garofolo and Gaslini, public and private foundations, or volunteer associations would be able to deal with this problem.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21753894?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Cimaz, Rolando</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caputo, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Libero, Cinzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Grande, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Simonini, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mori, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Novembre, Elio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pucci, Neri</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Childhood chronic anterior uveitis associated with vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC): successful treatment with topical tacrolimus.

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%">&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Bernard-Soulier syndrome is a severe bleeding disease due to a defect of GPIb/IX/V, a platelet complex that binds the von Willebrand factor. Due to the rarity of the disease, there are reports only on a few cases compromising any attempt to establish correlations between genotype and phenotype. In order to identify any associations, we describe the largest case series ever reported, which was evaluated systematically at the same center.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Thirteen patients with the disease and seven obligate carriers were enrolled. We collected clinical aspects and determined platelet features, including number and size, expression of membrane glycoproteins, and ristocetin induced platelet aggregation. Mutations were identified by direct sequencing of the GP1BA, GP1BB, and GP9 genes and their effect was shown by molecular modeling analyses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Patients all had a moderate thrombocytopenia with giant platelets and a bleeding tendency whose severity varied among individuals. Consistent with expression levels of GPIbα always lower than 10% of control values, platelet aggregation was absent or severely reduced. Homozygous mutations were identified in the GP1BA, GP1BB and GP9 genes; six were novel alterations expected to destabilize the conformation of the respective protein. Except for obligate carriers of a GP9 mutation with a reduced GPIb/IX/V expression and defective aggregation, all the other carriers had no obvious anomalies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Regardless of mutations identified, the patients' bleeding diathesis did not correlate with thrombocytopenia, which was always moderate, and platelet GPIbα expression, which was always severely impaired. Obligate carriers had features similar to controls though their GPIb/IX/V expression showed discrepancies. Aware of the limitations of our cohort, we cannot define any correlations. However, further investigations should be encouraged to better understand the causes of this rare and underestimated disease.&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/21173099?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanin, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pontillo, Alessandra</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comments on ''Geranylgeraniol--a new potential therapeutic approach to bisphosphonate associated osteonecrosis of the jaw&quot; by Ziebart T et al.

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%">Bellini, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanchi, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelossi, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Leo, Grazia</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%">Compliance with the gluten-free diet: the role of locus of control in celiac disease.</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.

All subjects completed tests on the Nowicki-Strickland Locus of Control Scale; the subjects with CD also completed a questionnaire to measure compliance with dietary treatment and the disease's impact on QoL.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;There was no difference in LoC values between patients with CD and controls. Subjects with CD with good dietary compliance had a more internal LoC compared with those who were not compliant (P = .01). Patients who reported a satisfactory QoL had a more internal LoC compared with those who reported negative affects on QoL due to CD (P = .01).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our study confirms the usefulness of the LoC concept for identifying those patients who might be at risk for dietary transgression. Given the enhanced, psychological, and social well being that can result from adherence to a GFD, educational and psychological support can help internalize the LoC in those patients at risk for dietary transgression.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

&lt;/b&gt;The complete absence of the chiasm (chiasmal aplasia) is a rare clinical condition. Hypoplasia of the optic nerve and congenital nystagmus are almost invariably associated characteristics. Microphthalmos or anophthalmos are common features in chiasmal aplasia, while central nervous system abnormalities are less frequent. Esophageal atresia can be isolated or syndromic. In syndromic cases, it is frequently associated with cardiac, limb, renal or vertebral malformations and anal atresia. More rarely, esophageal atresia can be part of anophthalmia-esophageal-genital syndrome, which comprises anophthalmia or microphthalmia, genital abnormalities, vertebral defects and cerebral malformations. Here, a previously unreported case of chiasmal aplasia presenting without microphthalmos and associated with esophageal atresia is described.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CASE PRESENTATION: &lt;/b&gt;Aplasia of the optic chiasm was identified in a Caucasian Italian 8-month-old boy with esophageal atresia. An ultrasound examination carried out at 21 weeks' gestation revealed polyhydramnios. Intrauterine growth retardation, esophageal atresia and a small atrial-septal defect were subsequently detected at 28 weeks' gestation. Repair of the esophageal atresia was carried out shortly after birth. A jejunostomy was carried out at four months to facilitate enteral feeding. The child was subsequently noted to be visually inattentive and to be neurodevelopmentally delayed. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed chiasmal aplasia. No other midline brain defects were found. His karyotype was normal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;If achiasmia is a spectrum, our patient seems to depict the most severe form, since he appears to have an extremely severe visual impairment. This is in contrast to most of the cases described in the literature, where patients maintain good--or at least useful-- visual function. To the best of our knowledge, the association of optic nerve hypoplasia, complete chiasmal aplasia, esophageal atresia and atrial-septal defect, choanal atresia, hypertelorism and psychomotor retardation has never been described before.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21806818?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giurici, Nagua</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanazzo, Giulio A</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Consensus on diagnosis and empiric antibiotic therapy of febrile neutropenia.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Rep</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr 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 Feb 24</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e4</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Controversial issues on the management of empiric therapy and diagnosis of febrile neutropenia (FN) were faced by a Consensus Group of the Italian Association of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology (AIEOP).

This study investigates whether mucosal antibodies represent an early stage of gluten intolerance even in the absence of intestinal damage and serum anti-TG2 antibodies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;This study investigated 22 relatives of patients with CD genetically predisposed to gluten intolerance but negative for both serum anti-TG2 antibodies and intestinal abnormalities. Fifteen subjects were symptomatic and seven were asymptomatic. The presence of immunoglobulin A anti-TG2 antibodies in the intestine was studied by creating phage-antibody libraries against TG-2. The presence of intestinal anti-TG2 antibodies was compared with the serum concentration of the intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP), a marker for early intestinal mucosal damage. The effects of a 12-month gluten-free diet on anti-TG2 antibody production and the subjects' clinical condition was monitored. Twelve subjects entered the study as controls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The intestinal mucosa appeared normal in 18/22; 4 had a slight increase in intraepithelial lymphocytes. Mucosal anti-TG2 antibodies were isolated in 15/22 subjects (68%); in particular symptomatic subjects were positive in 13/15 cases and asymptomatic subjects in 2/7 cases (p=0.01). No mucosal antibodies were selected from the controls' biopsies. There was significant correlation between the presence of intestinal anti-TG2 antibodies and positive concentrations of I-FABP (p=0.0008). After a gluten-free diet, 19/22 subjects underwent a second intestinal biopsy, which showed that anti-TG2 antibodies had disappeared in 12/15 (p=0.002), while I-FABP decreased significantly (p&lt;0.0001). The diet resolved both extraintestinal and intestinal symptoms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;A new form of genetic-dependent gluten intolerance has been described in which none of the usual diagnostic markers is present. Symptoms and intestinal anti-TG2 antibodies respond to a gluten free-diet. The detection of intestinal anti-TG2 antibodies by the phage-antibody libraries has an important diagnostic and therapeutic impact for the subjects with gluten-dependent intestinal or extraintestinal symptoms.

Children were stratified for age, type of patient, and cause of respiratory failure. A total of 956 (49.2%) patients required MV via an endotracheal tube; 673 (34.6%) were ventilated for &gt;24 hrs. The median length of MV was 4.5 days for all patients. If postoperative patients were excluded, the median time was 5 days. Bronchiolitis (6.7%), pneumonia (6.7%), and upper airway obstruction (5.3%) were the most frequent causes of acute respiratory failure, and altered mental status (9.2%) was the most frequent reason for MV. The overall mortality was 6.7% with highest rates for heart disease (nonoperative), sepsis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (26.1%, 22.2%, and 16.7% respectively). Length of stay, associated chronic disease, severity score on admission, and PICU mortality were significantly higher in children who received MV (p &lt; .05) than in children who did not. Controlled MV and pressure support ventilation + synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation were the most frequently used modes of ventilatory assistance during PICU stay.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Mechanical ventilation is frequently used in Italian PICUs with almost one child of two requiring endotracheal intubation. Children treated with MV represent a more severe category of patients than children who are breathing spontaneously. Describing the standard care and how MV is performed in children can be useful for future clinical studies.&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/20351615?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Secchiero, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Perri, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Melloni, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martini, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lamberti, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sebastiani, A</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%">Decreased levels of soluble TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) in the conjunctival sac fluid of patients with diabetes affected by proliferative retinopathy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diabet Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diabet.

Among the 90 patients with at least 12 months' follow-up, 11 had osteomyelitis relapse (12.2%) and recovery rate was therefore 87.8% with no resulting disability. Risk factors for osteomyelitis relapse were investigated and previous treatment with beta-lactamines, predisposing to onset of methycillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections (P = 0.03, OR = 5.74), and onset of osteomyelitis in the metaepiphyseal region (P &lt; 0.0001) resulted statistically significant.

During the first days of this stimulation, activated lymphocytes display high resistance to apoptosis and to most immunosuppressive drugs. According to the literature, few compounds have been described to kill recently activated cells, by inhibiting metabolic processes fundamental to proliferation. The aim of our work was to evaluate comparatively these different compounds, in order to identify the best strategy to kill cells that have undergone proliferation, while sparing the repertoire of resting cells. After preliminary experiments, 3-HAA and bortezomib were selected as the most suitable compounds for our purposes. The possible synergic effect of 3-HAA with bortezomib or with manganese ions was also assessed. 3-HAA was confirmed to be the most reliable pharmacologic approach to inhibit proliferation with acceptable toxicity on resting cells. While in the case of PHA stimulation 3-HAA led to death of most lymphocytes, only a minor percentage of cells were killed after allo-stimulation, suggesting that the effect is proportional to the percentage of stimulated lymphocytes.

Cells expressing the stemness markers CD34, CD133, or both were defined as circulating progenitor cells (CPCs). EPCs were defined as CPCs co-expressing the endothelial marker KDR.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Mean (SD) gestational age and birth weight of the infants studied were 26.2(1.5) weeks and 761.6(171.8) grams, respectively. EPC levels at birth did not differ between infants who subsequently developed BPD (n=9) and those who did not (n=24) [CD34(+)KDR(+) EPCs: 81(34-41) vs 80(56-110), p=0.7] and were not correlated with the duration of mechanical ventilation or O2-dependence, nor with the need of surfactant replacement. Infants with a hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) (n=22) had significantly lower EPC levels at birth than those with no PDA (n=11) [CD34(+)KDR(+) cells: 47(34-92) vs 142(84.5-221), p=0.008]. Data from the 18 infants studied both at birth and at 36 postmenstrual weeks showed that, while CPCs sharply decline over time, levels of all EPCs phenotypes are preserved after delivery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Levels of EPCs at birth did not affect the risk of developing BPD in our group of extremely premature neonates. However, the association between low EPC counts at birth and PDA may be clinically relevant, and deserves further studies.&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/21511414?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Leo, Luigina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decorti, Giuliana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pontillo, Alessandra</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The farnesyltransferase inhibitors tipifarnib and lonafarnib inhibit cytokines secretion in a cellular model of mevalonate kinase deficiency.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatr.

Farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTIs) act at the end of mevalonate pathway. Two FTIs, tipifarnib (Tip) and lonafarnib (Lon), were therefore evaluated as possible therapeutical choices for the treatment of MKD. FTIs could lead to a redirection of the limited available number of mevalonate intermediates preferentially to GGPP synthesis, eventually preventing the uncontrolled inflammatory response. The effect of Tip and Lon on intracellular cholesterol level (ICL) and on proinflammatory cytokines secretion was evaluated in a cellular model of MKD, chemically obtained treating RAW 264.7 cells with lovastatin (Lova) and alendronate (Ald). The combination of FTIs with the isoprenoid geraniol (GOH) was also tested both in this model and in monocytes isolated from MKD patients. Tip and Lon proved to revert the ICL lowering and to significantly reduce the lipopolysaccharide-induced cytokines secretion in Ald-Lova -RAW 264.7 cells. This anti-inflammatory effect was amplified combining the use of GOH with FTIs. The effect of GOH and Tip was successfully replicated in MKD patients' monocytes. Tip and Lon showed a dramatic anti-inflammatory effect in monocytes where mevalonate pathway was chemically or genetically impaired.&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/21430599?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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.

DQ2 and DQ8 and the alleles A1*05, A1*0201, B1*0201 and B1*0302 in individuals with celiac disease in Recife, northeastern Brazil.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;HLA DQ2 and DQ8 genotyping was performed for 73 individuals with celiac disease and 126 first-degree relatives with negative transglutaminase serology. The alleles DQA1*05, DQA1*0201, DQB1*02 and DQB1*0302 were identified by sequencing using specific primers and the EU-DQ kit from the Eurospital Laboratory, Trieste, Italy and double-checked by the All Set SPP kit (Dynal).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Among the 73 cases, 50 (68.5%) had the genotype DQ2, 13 (17.8%) had DQ8, 5 (6.8%) had DQ2 and DQ8, and 5 did not have any of these genotypes. Among the 5 negative individuals, four had the B1*02 allele and one did not have any of the alleles studied. B1*02 was the most frequent allele in both groups (94% in the patients and 89% in the control relatives).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;In this study, celiac disease was associated with the genotypes DQ2 and DQ8. DQ2 predominated, but the distribution of the frequencies was different from what has been found in European populations and was closer to what has been found in the Americas. The high frequencies of the HLA genotypes DQ2 and DQ8 that were found in first-degree relatives would make it difficult to use these HLA genotypes for routine diagnosis of celiac disease in this group.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

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

the gastrointestinal tract.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Inflammatory, preneoplastic and neoplastic conditions of the gastrointestinal tract (189 cases) were studied with the evaluation of Foxp3 regulatory T cells based on immunohistochemistry.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Few Foxp3(+) cells were found in controls and inflammatory conditions (oesophagitis, gastritis, coeliac disease, inflammatory bowel disease); in preneoplastic and neoplastic conditions the number of Foxp3(+) cells was significatively increased.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;In normal conditions the number of mucosal lymphocytes is very low throughout the gastro-intestinal tract; in active coeliac disease patients or on a gluten-free diet, only a slight increase in Foxp3(+) cells may be found. Gastrointestinal cancers are associated with higher Foxp3(+) cell proportion, compared with microscopically normal tissue and with precancerous conditions. However, it is uncertain whether the increase in these regulatory cells is a cause or a consequence of tumour progression.&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/21670722?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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 Iudicibus, Sara</style></author><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%">Londero, Margherita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ebner, Egle</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pontillo, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lionetti, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barabino, Arrigo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bartoli, Fiora</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></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic predictors of glucocorticoid response in pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel diseases.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Clin Gastroenterol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

The polymorphisms considered are the BclI in the NR3C1 gene, C-511T in IL-1β gene, and Leu155His and rs2670660/C in NALP1 gene. Patients were grouped as responder, dependant, and resistant to GCs. The relation between GC response and the genetic polymorphisms considered was examined using univariate, multivariate, and Classification and Regression Tree (CART) analysis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Univariate analysis showed that BclI polymorphism was more frequent in responders compared with dependant patients (P=0.03) and with the combined dependant and resistant groups (P=0.02). Moreover, the NALP1 Leu155His polymorphism was less frequent in the GC responsive group compared with resistant (P=0.0059) and nonresponder (P=0.02) groups. Multivariate analysis comparing responders and nonresponders confirmed an association between BclI mutated genotype and steroid response (P=0.030), and between NALP1 Leu155His mutant variant and nonresponders (P=0.033). An association between steroid response and male sex was also observed (P=0.034). In addition, Leu155His mutated genotype was associated with steroid resistance (P=0.034). Two CART analyses supported these findings by showing that BclI and Leu155His polymorphisms had the greatest effect on steroid response (permutation P value=0.046). The second CART analysis also identified age of disease onset and male sex as important variables affecting response.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;These results confirm that genetic and demographic factors may affect the response to GCs in young patients with IBD and strengthen the importance of studying high-order interactions for predicting 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/20697295?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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 sensitivity.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

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%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pontillo, Alessandra</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Geraniol rescues inflammation in cellular and animal models of mevalonate kinase deficiency.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In Vivo</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In Vivo</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anti-Inflammatory Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Line</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diphosphonates</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Disease Models, Animal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inflammation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lipopolysaccharides</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mevalonate Kinase Deficiency</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%">Monocytes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nitric Oxide</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Terpenes</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-Feb</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">25</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">87-92</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;The inhibition of the mevalonate pathway through genetic defects such as mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD) or pharmacological drugs such as aminobisphosphonates causes a shortage of intermediate compounds, in particular geranylgeranyl-pyrophosphate (GGPP), which is associated with the consequent augmented IL-1β release in monocytes. Considering that, due to its biochemical structure, isoprenoid geraniol enters the mevalonate pathway and may revert the genetic or pharmacological inhibition, the present study tested isoprenoid geraniol in cellular and animal MKD models obtained through the use of aminobisphosphonate pamidronate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MATERIALS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;The effect of natural isoprenoid geraniol on bacterial induced-inflammation was evaluated in a monocytic cell line (Raw 264.7) and in Balb/c mice treated with pamidronate.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Geraniol diminished the levels of inflammatory markers induced by pamidronate stimuli in vitro and in vivo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Geraniol may be proposed as a novel therapeutic approach for the orphan disease MKD, and may also be considered for the evaluation of possible inflammatory side-effects of aminobisphosphonates.&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/21282739?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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.

In order to discover genes and pathways that underlie auditory function, a genome-wide association study was carried out within the International Consortium G-EAR.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Meta-analysis of genome-wide association study's data from six isolated populations of European ancestry for an overall number of 3417 individuals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Eight suggestive significant loci (p&lt;10(-7)) were detected with a series of genes expressed within the inner ear such as: DCLK1, PTPRD, GRM8, CMIP. 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"

dominantly inherited systemic autoinflammatory disease. Although heterozygous germline gain-of-function NLRP3 mutations are a known cause of this disease, conventional genetic analyses fail to detect disease-causing mutations in ∼40% of patients. Since somatic NLRP3 mosaicism has been detected in several mutation-negative NOMID/CINCA syndrome patients, we undertook this study to determine the precise contribution of somatic NLRP3 mosaicism to the etiology of NOMID/CINCA syndrome.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;An international case-control study was performed to detect somatic NLRP3 mosaicism in NOMID/CINCA syndrome patients who had shown no mutation during conventional sequencing. Subcloning and sequencing of NLRP3 was performed in these mutation-negative NOMID/CINCA syndrome patients and their healthy relatives. Clinical features were analyzed to identify potential genotype-phenotype associations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Somatic NLRP3 mosaicism was identified in 18 of the 26 patients (69.2%). Estimates of the level of mosaicism ranged from 4.2% to 35.8% (mean ± SD 12.1 ± 7.9%). Mosaicism was not detected in any of the 19 healthy relatives (18 of 26 patients versus 0 of 19 relatives; P &lt; 0.0001). In vitro functional assays indicated that the detected somatic NLRP3 mutations had disease-causing functional effects. No differences in NLRP3 mosaicism were detected between different cell lineages. Among nondescript clinical features, a lower incidence of mental retardation was noted in patients with somatic mosaicism. Genotype-matched comparison confirmed that patients with somatic NLRP3 mosaicism presented with milder neurologic symptoms.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Somatic NLRP3 mutations were identified in 69.2% of patients with mutation-negative NOMID/CINCA syndrome. This indicates that somatic NLRP3 mosaicism is a major cause of NOMID/CINCA syndrome.&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/21702021?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Bonifacio, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanconati, Fabrizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Napoli, Michela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Isidoro, Erica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martini, Fernanda</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Torelli, Lucio</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%">High prevalence of BK polyomavirus sequences in human papillomavirus-16-positive precancerous cervical lesions.</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.

In precancerous cervical lesions, the overall prevalence of PYV sequences was 44% (41/93). Specifically, among the PYV-positive samples, 83% (34/41) tested positive for BK polyomavirus (BKV) sequences, whereas 17% (7/41) were positive for JC-virus. None of the samples were positive for simian virus 40. The presence of BKV DNA in high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions was confirmed by in situ PCR. BKV sequences were detected more frequently in high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, together with the genotype HPV-16. The association of BKV with precancerous cervical lesions suggests that this polyomavirus participates with HPV-16 in the cell transformation process. Alternatively, BKV might multiply better in HPV-16-positive cells from precancerous cervical lesions than in HPV-16-negative cells.&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/21837794?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Fabris, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, Ludovica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Catamo, Eulalia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morgutti, Marcello</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vendramin, Anna</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%">HLA-G 14 bp deletion/insertion polymorphism in celiac disease.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Gastroenterol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am.

We analyzed the HLA-G 14 bp deletion/insertion polymorphism, known to have a functional effect on mRNA stability, in a group of 522 CD patients, stratified for the presence of HLA-DQ2 genotype, and 400 healthy individuals to evaluate the possible effect of the polymorphism on the risk to develop the disease.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;HLA-G 14 bp deletion/insertion polymorphism (rs1704) was detected by polymerase chain reaction and double-checked by direct sequencing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The 14 bp inserted (I) allele and the homozygous I/I genotype were significantly more frequent in CD patients than in healthy controls. The presence of I allele was associated with an increased risk of CD (OR 1.35) and the effect of I allele was consistent with a recessive genetic model (P&lt;0.001).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our results also indicate that the effect of the HLA-G D/I polymorphism is restricted for HLA-DQ2, and not simply due to the presence of linkage disequilibrium with the major known risk factor; moreover we found that the presence of the I allele confers an increased risk of CD in addition to the risk conferred by HLA-DQ2 alone and that subjects that carry both DQ2 and HLA-G I alleles have an increased risk of CD than subjects that carry DQ2 but not the I allele.&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/20823837?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Abu-Amero, Khaled K</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faletra, Flavio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parentin, Fulvio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pensiero, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alorainy, Ibrahim A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hellani, Ali M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Catalano, Dario</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bosley, Thomas M</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Horizontal gaze palsy and progressive scoliosis without ROBO3 mutations.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ophthalmic Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ophthalmic 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%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kyphosis</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%">Mutation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ocular Motility Disorders</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oculomotor Nerve Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pedigree</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Receptors, Immunologic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scoliosis</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 Nov</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">32</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">212-6</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;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;To describe clinical and genetic observations in a patient with horizontal gaze palsy and progressive scoliosis (HGPPS) without identified mutations in the ROBO3 gene.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MATERIALS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Neurologic and orthopedic evaluation of the proband; sequencing all exons, exon-intron boundaries, and promoter region of ROBO3 in the proband and his mother. Array CGH was also carried out in the proband and his mother to evaluate possible chromosomal deletion(s) and/or duplication(s).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The proband had complete horizontal gaze restriction with full vertical gaze and small amplitude horizontal pendular nystagmus. He also had severe scoliosis and brainstem hypoplasia pathognomonic of HGPPS. However, complete sequencing of ROBO3 twice in both forward and reverse directions did not reveal any mutations. Array CGH investigation revealed no chromosomal abnormalities.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;This patient had clinical and neuroimaging characteristics considered pathognomonic of HGPPS and yet did not have ROBO3 mutations. A clinical misdiagnosis is unlikely in the absence of facial weakness (typical of Moebius syndrome), deafness (typical of the HOXA1 spectrum), or mental retardation (typical of other central decussation abnormalities). It is perhaps more likely that a phenotype identical to HGPPS can be caused by abnormalities in ROBO3 splice variant expression, by mutations of a gene other than ROBO3, or by some environmental or epigenetic factor(s) inhibiting the action of ROBO3 or its protein product in the developing brainstem.&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/21510772?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Biffi, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Garrovo, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Durigutto, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lorenzon, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bek, Alpan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bulla, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grossi, Claudia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Borghi, Maria O</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meroni, Pierluigi</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%">In vivo distribution of β2 glycoprotein I under various pathophysiologic conditions.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blood</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blood</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">beta 2-Glycoprotein I</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 C9</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Endothelial Cells</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Endothelium, Vascular</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%">Humans</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%">Pregnancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trophoblasts</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Uterus</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 13</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">118</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4231-8</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;In vitro studies have documented β2 glycoprotein I (β2GPI) binding to endothelial cells (ECs) and trophoblast using antiphospholipid antibodies. The in vivo binding of β2GPI to these cells and the conditions that favor their interaction have not been investigated. We analyzed the in vivo distribution of cyanine 5.5-labeled β2GPI in mice and evaluated the effect of pregnancy and circulating antibodies on its tissue localization. The signal was detected in the liver by whole body scan and ex vivo analysis. The β2GPI failed to bind to the vascular endothelium and reacted only with the ECs of uterine vessels. In pregnant mice the protein was localized on ECs and trophoblast at the embryo implantation sites. Immunized mice showed a similar β2GPI biodistribution to naive mice but the immunized pregnant animals exhibited a significant increase in fetal loss associated with C3 and C9 deposition at the implantation sites. Treatment of mice with LPS after β2GPI-Cy5.5 injection promoted protein localization on gut and brain ECs associated with IgG, C1q, and C9 deposition in immunized mice. These findings indicate that β2GPI binding to EC requires priming with pro-inflammatory factors which is not needed for uterine and placental localization probably dependent on hormonal changes.&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/21791419?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanin, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vuch, Josef</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pontillo, Alessandra</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%">Letter to the editor: acute effects of intravenous administration of pamidronate in patients with osteoporosis.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Korean Med Sci</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) with TNFRSF1A structural mutations and children with periodic fever of unknown origin fulfilling the criteria for periodic fever, aphthosis, pharyngitis, and adenitis syndrome (PFAPA).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;The extracellular region of TNFRSF1A was analyzed in 720 consecutive children with periodic fever, using denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography and DNA sequencing. Followup data on 11 pediatric patients with TNFRSF1A structural mutations (cysteine or T50M), 23 pediatric patients with an R92Q substitution, and 64 pediatric patients with PFAPA were collected during routine clinic visits. The 50-item Child Health Questionnaire was used to assess health-related quality of life (HRQOL).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The frequency of typical TRAPS-related clinical manifestations was significantly lower and the impact of the disease on HRQOL was significantly reduced in patients with the R92Q mutation compared with TRAPS patients carrying structural mutations of TNFRSF1A. Followup data on 11 TRAPS patients with TNFRSF1A structural mutations (mean followup 7.9 years), 16 patients with theR92Q substitution (mean followup 7.3 years), and 64 patients with PFAPA (mean followup 5.2 years) were available. Patients with R92Q mutations and patients with PFAPA displayed a higher rate of self-resolution or amelioration of the fever episodes than did TRAPS patients with structural mutations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Although some cases may progress to a more chronic disease course, the majority of children with an R92Q mutation of the TNFRSFA1 gene show a milder disease course than that in children with TNFRSFA1 structural mutations and have a high rate of spontaneous resolution and amelioration of the recurrent fever episodes.&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/21225694?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tamaro, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parco, Sergio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Management of immigration and pregnancy screening in northeastern Italy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk Manag Healthc Policy</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk Manag Healthc Policy</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%">4</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9-13</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;This study assesses the impact of immigration in Friuli Venezia Giulia, a region of northeastern Italy, on the epidemiological features of hemoglobin patterns and on prothrombotic and trisomy risk in pregnancy for patients of non-Italian origin. This study follows a series of studies on the incidence of thalassemia and other hemoglobinopathies with reduced globin chain synthesis, that were performed during the postwar (1939-45) period in Friuli Venezia Giulia following immigration into the region from Istria and Sardinia (regions of northern and central Italy). Current data show that today's constantly growing immigration into the region differs from previous decades, in terms of origin and quantity of migrants, who mainly come from third world countries. This has a significant impact on health care issues, and more specifically on prospective health screening for foreigners. The authors conclude that scholastic education and hospital services, either public or private, and voluntary associations, may contribute to solving the problem, but only in terms of training and organization, for non-European Union citizens arriving in northern Italy and neighboring areas, especially those from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and eastern Europe.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22312223?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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; author reply 956-7</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><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/21934464?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sandrin-Garcia, Paula</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brandão, Lucas André Cavalcanti</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coelho, Antônio Victor Campos</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guimarães, Rafael Lima</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pancoto, João Alexandre Trés</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, Ludovica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Donadi, Eduardo Antônio</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%">Mannose binding lectin gene (MBL2) functional polymorphisms are associated with systemic lupus erythematosus in southern Brazilians.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum.

To uncover a possible association between MBL2 gene polymorphisms and SLE, we analyzed functional polymorphisms in the promoter and first exon of the MBL2 gene in 134 Brazilian SLE patients and 101 healthy controls. Genotype and allele frequencies of MBL2 A/O polymorphism were significantly different between patients and controls, and the O allele was associated with an increased risk of SLE. An association between low mannose binding lectin (MBL) producer combined genotypes and increased risk for SLE was also reported. Furthermore, when stratifying SLE patients according to clinical and laboratory data, an association between the A/O genotype and nephritic disorders and between the X/Y genotype and antiphospholipid syndrome was evident. Combined genotypes responsible for low MBL production were more frequently observed in SLE patients with nephritis. Our results indicate MBL2 polymorphisms as possible risk factors for SLE development and disease-related clinical manifestations.&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/21510992?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barkokebas, Andreza</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Albuquerque T Carvalho, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">de Souza, Paulo Roberto Eleutério</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gomez, Ricardo Santiago</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Xavier, Guilherme Machado</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ribeiro, Camila Maria Beder</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Porter, Stephen Ross</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leão, Jair Carneiro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mannose-binding lectin gene (MBL-2) polymorphism in oral lichen planus.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin Oral Investig</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Clin Oral Investig</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%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene Expression Regulation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gene Frequency</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genes, Recessive</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic Variation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genotype</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heterozygote</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%">Lichen Planus, Oral</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mannose-Binding Lectin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mutation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polymorphism, Genetic</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%">Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha</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 Oct</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">15</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">699-704</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;TNF-α may be associated with the etiopathogenesis of oral lichen planus (OLP), and it has been suggested that polymorphism of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) increases the in vitro production of TNF- α. 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"

Registry maintained by the Italian Association of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We analyzed a cohort of 6,044 patients diagnosed with cancer between 1960 and 1998, while aged 0 to 14 years and who were 18 years old or older by December 2003. They were followed up through the regional vital statistics registers until death or the end of follow up (October 30, 2006), whichever occurred first, and their marital status and date of birth of their children were recorded. The cumulative probabilities of being married and having a first child were computed by gender and compared by tumor type within the cohort. Marriage and fertility rates (the latter defined as the number of live births per woman-year) were compared with those of the Italian population of the same age, gender, area of residence and calendar period by means of the observed to expected (O/E) ratios.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;During the follow-up period, 4,633 (77%) subjects had not married. The marriage O/E ratios were 0.56 (95% CI: 0.51-0.61) and 0.70 (95% CI: 0.65-0.76) among men and women, respectively. Overall, 263 men had 367 liveborn children, and 473 women had 697 liveborn children. The female fertility O/E ratio was 0.57 (95% CI: 0.53-0.62) overall, and 1.08 (95% CI: 0.99-1.17) when analyses were restricted to married/cohabiting women&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Childhood cancer survivors are less likely to marry and to have children than the general population, confirming the life-long impact of their previous disease on their social behavior and choices. The inclusion of counseling in the strategies of management and long-term surveillance of childhood cancer patients could be beneficial to survivors as they approach adulthood.&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/21228031?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Monasta, Lorenzo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maternal height should be considered in the evaluation of macrosomia related risk of infant injuries at birth.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Birth Injuries</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Body Height</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%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant, Newborn</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk Assessment</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 Feb</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">90</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">198; author reply 198-9</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/21241268?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">MBL1 gene in nonhuman primates.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum.

An indication for a progressive silencing of the molecule has been found. We found a ∼300 bp insertion in the first intron of MBL1 in the Cercopithecidae that could explain the different splicing between primates species and possibly why Macaca mulatta is able to produce a complete protein, whereas in human beings the protein product is truncated. Based on our genetic findings, we could speculate that all the Cercopithecidae (presenting the 300-bp insertion) may express MBL1 mature protein like the M mulatta, whereas the lesser and great apes, which lack this insertion as do human beings, may have only the truncated pseudogene.&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/21889966?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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, 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%">MBL2 polymorphisms and the choice of controls for association studies: just another story?</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.

MCPyV sequences have also been detected in various normal tissues in tumor-affected patients. Immunologic studies have detected MCPyV antibodies in as many as 80% of healthy blood donors. This high seroprevalence suggests that MCPyV infection is widespread in humans. In our study, buffy coats, which were examined for MCPyV DNA Tag sequences, showed a prevalence of 22%. Viral DNA load was revealed in blood samples from 10 to 100 molecules/100 000 cells. DNA sequencing confirmed that polymerase chain reaction amplicons belong to the MCPyV strain, MKL-1. To interpret the putative role of MCPyV in chronic lymphocytic leukemia, we may infer that, during a long period of viral persistence in blood cells, this DNA tumor virus may generate mutants, which are able to participate as cofactors in the multistep process of cell transformation.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">26</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21464370?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">di Iasio, Maria Grazia</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%">Sana, Maria Elena</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%">miR-34a induces the downregulation of both E2F1 and B-Myb oncogenes in leukemic cells.</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.

Knockdown experiments with siRNA for p53 and E2F1 and overexpression experiments with miR34a were conducted to elucidate the role of these pathways in promoting B-Myb downregulation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;In vitro exposure to Nutlin-3, a nongenotoxic activator of p53, variably downregulated the expression of B-Myb in primary leukemic cells and in p53(wild-type) myeloid (OCI, MOLM) and lymphoblastoid (SKW6.4, EHEB) but not in p53(mutated) (NB4, BJAB, MAVER) or p53(deleted) (HL-60) leukemic cell lines. The transcriptional repression of B-Myb was also observed in primary normal endothelial cells and fibroblasts. B-Myb downregulation played a critical role in the cell-cycle block in G(1) phase induced by Nutlin-3, as shown by transfection experiments with specific siRNA.

Variations in the NALP1/NLRP1 and NALP3/NLRP3 genes have been reported to confer risk for several autoimmune conditions. We hypothesized that polymorphisms in these genes, due to their role in innate immunity and inflammatory processes, may affect susceptibility to CD.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in NLRP1 (rs12150220, rs2670660) and two SNPs (rs10754558, rs35829419) in NLRP3 genes were genotyped in 504 CD Italian patients and 256 healthy controls.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The minor A allele of NLRP3 rs35829419 (Q705K) polymorphism appeared to exert a protective role against the development of CD (P=0.029; odds ratio (OR)=0.56).

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" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21328389?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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 Iudicibus, Sara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Franca, Raffaella</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></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molecular mechanism of glucocorticoid resistance in inflammatory bowel disease.</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.

Despite their extensive therapeutic use and the proven effectiveness, considerable clinical evidence of wide inter-individual differences in GC efficacy among patients has been reported, in particular when these agents are used in inflammatory diseases. In recent years, a detailed knowledge of the GC mechanism of action and of the genetic variants affecting GC activity at the molecular level has arisen from several studies. GCs interact with their cytoplasmic receptor, and are able to repress inflammatory gene expression through several distinct mechanisms. The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is therefore crucial for the effects of these agents: mutations in the GR gene (NR3C1, nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 1) are the primary cause of a rare, inherited form of GC resistance; in addition, several polymorphisms of this gene have been described and associated with GC response and toxicity. However, the GR is not self-standing in the cell and the receptor-mediated functions are the result of a complex interplay of GR and many other cellular partners. The latter comprise several chaperonins of the large cooperative hetero-oligomeric complex that binds the hormone-free GR in the cytosol, and several factors involved in the transcriptional machinery and chromatin remodeling, that are critical for the hormonal control of target genes transcription in the nucleus. Furthermore, variants in the principal effectors of GCs (e.g. cytokines and their regulators) have also to be taken into account for a comprehensive evaluation of the variability in GC response. Polymorphisms in genes involved in the transport and/or metabolism of these hormones have also been suggested as other possible candidates of interest that could play a role in the observed inter-individual differences in efficacy and toxicity. The best-characterized example is the drug efflux pump P-glycoprotein, a membrane transporter that extrudes GCs from cells, thereby lowering their intracellular concentration. This protein is encoded by the ABCB1/MDR1 gene; this gene presents different known polymorphic sites that can influence its expression and function. This editorial reviews the current knowledge on this topic and underlines the role of genetics in predicting GC clinical response. The ambitious goal of pharmacogenomic studies is to adapt therapies to a patient's specific genetic background, thus improving on efficacy and safety rates.&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/21448414?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Bosco, Raffaella</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%">Molecular targets for selective killing of TRAIL-resistant leukemic cells.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Expert Opin Ther Targets</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Expert Opin.

In contrast, primary leukemias have shown poor susceptibility to TRAIL-mediated cytotoxicity, suggesting the need for sensitizing TRAIL-resistant leukemic cells, by combining soluble recombinant TRAIL either with chemotherapeutic drugs, or with targeted small molecules.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AREAS COVERED: &lt;/b&gt;This review discusses potential therapeutic applications of combinations able to restore the sensitivity of leukemic cells to either recombinant TRAIL or anti-TRAIL-receptor agonistic antibodies for the treatment of hematological malignancies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;EXPERT OPINION: &lt;/b&gt;Up-to-date knowledge of the most innovative anti-leukemic therapies including functional screening of specific-sensitizers, enhancing TRAIL-mediated cytotoxicity. Strategies aimed to enhance TRAIL-mediated apoptosis, include the combination of novel sensitizers, functionally identified from libraries of pharmaceutically active, synthetic or naturally derived compounds. Other approaches aim to employ the administration of stem cells engineered to express TRAIL, in the leukemic stem cell niche, and promise to be a successful treatment with reduced specific toxicity.&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/21548717?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Facchinetti, Fabio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alberico, Salvatore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benedetto, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cetin, Irene</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cozzolino, Sabrina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Renzo, Gian Carlo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Del Giovane, Cinzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrari, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mecacci, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Menato, Guido</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tranquilli, Andrea L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Baronciani, Dante</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italian Stillbirth Study Group</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A multicenter, case-control study on risk factors for antepartum stillbirth.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Seven of 38 patients (18.4%) were free from clinical and EEG seizures during the last 4 days of the trial (including 24-h EEG monitoring on day 14) compared with none of the patients treated with placebo (p = 0.04). Seventeen patients remained seizure-free on levetiracetam after 1 year follow-up. Of the 41 patients who discontinued levetiracetam due to lack of efficacy (n = 39) or adverse events (n = 2), 34 became seizure-free on other treatments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SIGNIFICANCE: &lt;/b&gt;Although superiority to placebo just failed to reach statistical significance for the primary end point, the overall findings are consistent with levetiracetam having modest efficacy against absence seizures. Further controlled trials exploring larger doses and an active comparator are required to determine the role of levetiracetam in the treatment of absence epilepsy.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

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"

thrombocytopenia 2 (THC2) was considered an exceedingly rare form of autosomal dominant thrombocytopenia and only 2 families were known. However, we recently identified mutations in the 5'-untranslated region of the ANKRD26 gene in 9 THC2 families. Here we report on 12 additional pedigrees with ANKRD26 mutations, 6 of which are new. Because THC2 affected 21 of the 210 families in our database, it has to be considered one of the less rare forms of inherited thrombocytopenia. Analysis of all 21 families with ANKRD26 mutations identified to date revealed that thrombocytopenia and bleeding tendency were usually mild. Nearly all patients had no platelet macrocytosis, and this characteristic distinguishes THC2 from most other forms of inherited thrombocytopenia. In the majority of cases, platelets were deficient in glycoprotein Ia and α-granules, whereas in vitro platelet aggregation was normal. Bone marrow examination and serum thrombopoietin levels suggested that thrombocytopenia was derived from dysmegakaryopoiesis. Unexplained high values of hemoglobin and leukocytes were observed in a few cases. An unexpected finding that warrants further investigation was a high incidence of acute leukemia. Given the scarcity of distinctive characteristics, the ANKRD26-related thrombocytopenia has to be taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis of isolated thrombocytopenias.&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/21467542?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pippucci, Tommaso</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savoia, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Perrotta, Silverio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pujol-Moix, Núria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Noris, Patrizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Castegnaro, Giovanni</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%">Punzo, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marconi, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gherardi, Samuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Loffredo, Giuseppe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Rocco, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scianguetta, Saverio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barozzi, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Magini, Pamela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bozzi, Valeria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dezzani, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Stazio, Mariateresa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferraro, Marcella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Perini, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seri, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Balduini, Carlo L</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mutations in the 5' UTR of ANKRD26, the ankirin repeat domain 26 gene, cause an autosomal-dominant form of inherited thrombocytopenia, THC2.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am J Hum Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Am.

Here, we show that ANKRD26, another gene within the THC2 locus, and neither MASTL nor ACBD5, is mutated in eight unrelated families. ANKRD26 was also found to be mutated in the family previously reported to have an ACBD5 mutation. We identified six different ANKRD26 mutations, which were clustered in a highly conserved 19 bp sequence located in the 5' untranslated region. Mutations were not detected in 500 controls and are absent from the 1000 Genomes database. Available data from an animal model and Dr. Watson's genome give evidence against haploinsufficiency as the pathogenetic mechanism for ANKRD26-mediated thrombocytopenia. The luciferase reporter assay suggests that these 5' UTR mutations might enhance ANKRD26 expression. ANKRD26 is the ancestor of a family of primate-specific genes termed POTE, which have been recently identified as a family of proapoptotic proteins. Dysregulation of apoptosis might therefore be the pathogenetic mechanism, as demonstrated for another thrombocytopenia, THC4. Further investigation is needed to provide evidence supporting this hypothesis.&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/21211618?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ghezzi, Daniele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arzuffi, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zordan, Mauro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Da Re, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lamperti, Costanza</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benna, Clara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">d'Adamo, Pio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diodato, Daria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Costa, Rodolfo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mariotti, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Uziel, Graziella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Smiderle, Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zeviani, Massimo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mutations in TTC19 cause mitochondrial complex III deficiency and neurological impairment in humans and flies.</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 homozygous nonsense mutation in the gene encoding tetratricopeptide 19 (TTC19) in individuals from two families affected by progressive encephalopathy associated with profound cIII deficiency and accumulation of cIII-specific assembly intermediates. We later found a second homozygous nonsense mutation in a fourth affected individual. We demonstrated that TTC19 is embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane as part of two high-molecular-weight complexes, one of which coincides with cIII. We then showed a physical interaction between TTC19 and cIII by coimmunoprecipitation. We also investigated a Drosophila melanogaster knockout model for TTC19 that showed low fertility, adult-onset locomotor impairment and bang sensitivity, associated with cIII deficiency. TTC19 is a putative cIII assembly factor whose disruption is associated with severe neurological abnormalities in humans and flies.&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/21278747?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bua, Jenny</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trappan, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Demarini, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Grasso, Domenico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Schleef, Jurgen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zennaro, Floriana</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neonatal necrotizing tracheobronchitis.</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.

After a summary of the main hypotheses on the principal neuromotor causes of DCD, this study applies a causal model framework to describe the possible coexistence of more than one deficit in this disorder. For this purpose, kinematic analysis was applied to an ecological task, the reach-to-grasp action, introducing the manipulation of three variables: vision, distance and object size. After a thorough neurological and neuropsychological evaluation, 9 children with DCD (7-9 years old) were selected and compared to 27 age-matched control children. The results suggest that children with DCD have a normal neurological characterization of the reaching and grasping movements, in terms of proximal to distal action, but their grasping aperture (MGA) was always wider with respect to controls, particularly when vision was not allowed. In addition, the performance of children with DCD was always slower, more dependent on vision and more variable than that of controls. The MGA of children with DCD could be explained by a deficit in the internal construction of movement for a forward model, while slowness could be related to a control problem in the neuronal firing of the muscles. The idea of a possible coexistence of these two deficits is discussed in accordance to a causal model framework and also addressed considering recent neurophysiologic evidences.&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/21377830?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Devescovi, Raffaella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pecile, Vanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabretto, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carrozzi, Marco</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 new case of duplication of the MDS region identified by high-density SNP arrays and a review of the literature.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J Appl Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">J.

Considering its invasiveness and risk of complications, alternative methods have been proposed but they are not always applicable to non-cooperative patients. In this study we explored the possibility of using optical topography (OT)--a multichannel near-infrared system--for non-invasive assessment of hemispheric language dominance during passive listening.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MATERIAL/METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Cortical activity was monitored in a sample of healthy, adult Italian native speakers, all right-handed. We assessed changes in oxy-haemoglobin concentration in temporal, parietal and posterior frontal lobes during a passive listening of bi-syllabic words and vowel-consonant-vowel syllables lasting less then 3 minutes. Activated channels were identified by t tests.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Left hemisphere showed significant activity only during the passive listening of bi-syllabic words. Specifically, the superior temporal gyrus, the supramarginal gyrus and the posterior inferior parietal lobe were activated.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;During passive listening of bi-syllabic words, right handed healthy adults showed a significant activation in areas already known to be involved in speech comprehension. Although more research is needed, OT proved to be a promising alternative to the Wada test for non-invasive assessment of hemispheric language lateralization, even if using a particularly brief trial, which has been designed for future applications with non-cooperative subjects.&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/22129900?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toffoli, Barbara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bernardi, Stella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Candido, Riccardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sabato, Nicoletta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carretta, Renzo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corallini, Federica</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><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabris, Bruno</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Osteoprotegerin induces morphological and functional alterations in mouse pancreatic islets.</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.

This study aimed to assess the effect of full-length OPG administered in vivo in mice on pancreatic islet structure and function and its interaction with the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). OPG-treated mice showed increased islet monocyte/macrophage infiltration, fibrosis and apoptosis with reduction of islet function. The remodeling of islet architecture was associated with increased pancreatic expression of components of the RAS, growth factor genes (transforming growth factor β and connective tissue growth factor) and inflammatory molecules (monocyte chemotactic protein-1 and vascular adhesion molecule type 1). Prevention of these changes with improvement of insulin secretion was observed in ramipril treated animals.

Conversely, the potential modulation of endogenous OPG expression and release by VSMC was analyzed in response to different pro-atherosclerotic cytokines, TGF-β1, platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) and angiogensin II (Ang II).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;In vivo treatment with human OPG induced signs of fibrosis and up-regulated the arterial expression of TGF-β1. Consistently, in vitro treatment of VSMC with human OPG induced the expression of fibronectin, collagen type I, III, IV, metalloprotein-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9, as well as of TGF-β1. On the other hand, exposure to recombinant TGF-β1 promoted the expression/release of endogenous OPG and mediated the increase of OPG release induced by PDGF and Ang II in VSMC.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Taken together, these data support a pathogenic role for OPG in the development and progression of atherosclerotic lesions and suggest the existence of a vicious circle between TGF-β1 and OPG.&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/21679949?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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;

The primary endpoint of the study was the percentage of good mobilizers with pegfilgrastim (blood peak of CD34+ cells ≥ 20 × 10(6) /L). The results were compared with a historical control group.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Thirty of 36 recruited patients were classified as good mobilizers (83%). The median value of circulating CD34+ at leukapheresis was 143 × 10(6) /L (range, 20 × 10(6) -1988 × 10(6) /L). No significant adverse effects were associated with the use of pegfilgrastim and no patient was withdrawn from using the drug. A blood peak of 20 × 10(6) /L or more CD34+ was observed in 33 of 36 control patients (92%) and the median CD34+ count at leukapheresis was 158 × 10(6) /kg (range, 28 × 10(6) -4529 × 10(6) /kg; p = 0.7). No significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of toxicity or other variables of mobilization. As at October 2008, 23 patients of the pegfilgrastim group and 32 patients of the filgrastim group underwent autologous transplant. No significant differences were found in terms of early toxicity, myeloid recovery, and Day 100 survival.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;A single dose of 100 µg/kg pegfilgrastim was safe and effective for PBSC collection in pediatric patients. We suggest that these results support the use of pegfilgrastim for pediatric patients.&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/21542852?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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.

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%">Bramuzzo, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lazzerini, Marzia</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prevalence of anaemia in children with thromboembolism in IBD.</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.

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%">Davanzo, Riccardo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Promoting mother’s milk use in very low birth weight infants: when nutritional hierarchy deals with the professional value system.</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%">Attitude of Health Personnel</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Breast Feeding</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%">Infant, Newborn</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infant, Very Low Birth Weight</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Intensive Care Units, Neonatal</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 Nov</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">27</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">329-30</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><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/22048755?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Banco, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guaschino, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Santo, D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Turrisi, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Piva, C</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">[Proteomic applications in gynecology-obstetrics].</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%">Endometriosis</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genital Diseases, 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%">Polycystic Ovary Syndrome</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%">Proteomics</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 Feb</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">63</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">39-46</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ita</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Proteomics has recently emerged as a powerful approach both for discovering biomarkers as well as for understanding the physiopathology of unclear gynecological-obstetrical disorders. Currently, several biological fluids and fetal tissues were successfully tested, including maternal plasma, amniotic fluid, cervical-vaginal fluid, urine, saliva, placental trophoblast, amnio-chorionic membranes and cord blood. The potential of proteomics on the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) involves biomarkers discovery for a more accurate diagnosis of the syndrome and identification, within the patients with PCOS, those who respond more easily to treatment and those who will be at increased risk for future metabolic complications. The proteomic approach applied to patients with endometriosis would allow not only a non-invasive early diagnosis, but also a staging of the disease and a prediction of infertility risk. Proteomics also involves oncological field, in order to discover biomarkers that allow early diagnosis and prognosis of female genital malignancies. In addition to this, proteomics could be used to understand and predict obstetrical complications such as recurrent spontaneous abortion, preterm birth and preeclampsia. However, further studies are needed on a larger cohort of patients to introduce these biomarkers in clinical practice.&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/21311419?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tamburlini, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Siupsinskas, Gelmius</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bacci, Alberta</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maternal and Neonatal Care Quality Assessment Working Group</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality of maternal and neonatal care in Albania, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan: a systematic, standard-based, participatory assessment.</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%">Albania</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child Health 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%">Infant, Newborn</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kazakhstan</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maternal Health Services</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%">Turkmenistan</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%">e28763</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;Progress in maternal and neonatal mortality has been slow in many countries despite increasing access to institutional births, suggesting deficiencies in the quality of care. We carried out a systematic assessment of the quality of maternal and newborn care in three CEE/CIS countries, using an innovative approach to identify priority issues and promote action.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A standard-based tool, covering over 400 items grouped in 13 main areas ranging from support services to case management, was used to assess a sample of ten maternity hospitals in Albania, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. Sources of information were visit to services, medical records, observation of cases, and interviews with staff and mothers. A score (range 0 to 3) was attributed to each item and area of care. The assessment was carried out by a multidisciplinary team of international and national professionals. Local managers and staff provided the necessary information and were involved in discussing the findings and the priority actions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Quality of care was found to be substandard in all 13 areas. The lowest scores (between one and two) were obtained by: management of normal labour, delivery, obstetric complications and sick babies; infection prevention; use of guidelines and audits; monitoring and follow-up. Neonatal care as a whole scored better than obstetric care. Interviewed mothers identified lack of information, insufficient support during labour and lack of companionship as main issues. Actions to improve quality of care were identified at facility as well as at central level and framed according to main health system functions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Quality of care is a key issue to improve maternal and neonatal outcomes, particularly in countries such as CEE/CIS where access to institutional births is nearly universal. Approaches that involve health professionals and managers in comprehensive, action-oriented assessments of quality of care are promising and should be further supported.&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/22216110?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Bortot, Barbara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carrozzi, Marco</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%">Quantification of heteroplasmic mitochondrial DNA mutations for DNA samples in the low picogram range by nested real-time ARMS-qPCR.</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.

In this study, we describe an assay for the determination of mutated mtDNA copy number in small clinical samples, using standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by SYBR Green real-time allelic-specific PCR [amplification refractory mutation system-quantitative PCR (ARMS-qPCR)]. To assess the degree of heteroplasmy in a patient harboring 2 cosegregating mtDNA mutations (4415A&gt;G and 9922A&gt;C) starting from picogram amounts of DNA, we first amplified the mutated target sequence by standard PCR, and then analyzed it by real-time ARMS-qPCR. To validate this method, we analyzed by real-time ARMS-qPCR the PCR amplification products derived from different mixtures containing known proportions of mutant and wild-type cloned mtDNA fragments. The correlation coefficient of 0.994 between expected and observed values for the percentage of mutant A4415G confirms that the relative proportion of mutated and wild-type mtDNA was maintained after the first PCR amplification. This method allows the precise quantification of heteroplasmic mutations in DNA samples extracted from hairs, urine, small stomach biopsies, and, more importantly, single-muscle fiber, with a limit of detection close to 0.5%. This nested real-time ARMS-PCR represents a rapid, efficient, and less expensive method for the detection and quantification of heteroplasmic mutant mtDNA, even in very small clinical samples.&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/21532488?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Bosco, Raffaella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celeghini, Claudio</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%">Recent advances in the therapeutic perspectives of Nutlin-3.</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.

A series of recent studies have strengthened the concept that selective, non-genotoxic p53 activation by Nutlin-3 might represent an alternative to the current cytotoxic chemotherapy, in particular for pediatric tumors and for hematological malignancies, which retain a high percentage of p53(wild-type) status at diagnosis. Like most other drugs employed in cancer therapy, it will be unlikely that Nutlin-3 will be used as a monotherapy. In this respect, Nutlin-3 shows a synergistic cytotoxic effect when used in combination with innovative drugs, such as TRAIL or bortozemib. Although Nutlin-3 is currently in phase I clinical trial for the treatment of retinoblastoma, its effects on normal tissues and cell types remain largely to be determined and will require further investigation in the future years.&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/21391907?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><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%">Savoia, Anna</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Recent advances in the understanding and management of MYH9-related inherited thrombocytopenias.</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.

It is transmitted in an autosomal dominant fashion and derives from mutations of MYH9, the gene for the heavy chain of non-muscle myosin IIA. Patients present with congenital macrothrombocytopenia with mild bleeding tendency and may develop kidney dysfunction, deafness and cataracts later in life. The term MYH9-RD encompasses four autosomal-dominant thrombocytopenias that were previously described as distinct disorders, namely May-Hegglin Anomaly, Sebastian, Fechtner and Epstein syndromes. Thrombocytopenia is usually mild and derives from complex defects of megakaryocyte maturation and platelet formation. It is easily diagnosed, in that the presence of giant platelets in peripheral blood raises the suspicion of MYH9-RD and a simple immunofluorescence test on blood films confirms the diagnostic hypothesis. However, genotype/phenotype correlations have been recognized and mutation screening is therefore required to define the risk of acquiring extra-haematological defects. Results of a small clinical study suggested that a non-peptide thrombopoietin mimetic might greatly benefit both thrombocytopenia and bleeding tendency of MYH9-RD patients.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

In the past, there was a decline in the incidence of ARF; however, focal outbreaks have been reported. This study evaluated the incidence of ARF in 2007-08 in a region of a developed country compared with the previous decade.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;A retrospective review of all admission records for ARF in Trieste between January 2007 and December 2008 was undertaken. The diagnosis of ARF was established by the Jones criteria according to the 1992 revision.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Between January 2007 and December 2008: 13 cases of ARF were recorded, 11 females and 2 males. The estimated incidence was 23 and 27/100, 000 population new cases each year, respectively, in the 5- to 15-year age group. Migratory polyarthritis occurred in 6/13, chorea in 7/13 and clinical carditis in 5/13 cases. Five out of 13 patients had only echocardiographic abnormalities, with no clinical cardiac manifestations. Another two patients did not fulfil diagnostic criteria for ARF, presenting with only three minor criteria, but they revealed silent carditis at echocardiography evaluation. During the follow-up, in one case the carditis receded and in the other it significantly improved.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our experience underlines that ARF has not yet disappeared in industrialized countries. We observed a high incidence of chorea, always associated with mild carditis. Echocardiographic assessment should be routinely performed in all patients with suspected ARF in order to identify those subclinical cases of valvulitis that would otherwise pass undiagnosed without receiving proper prophylaxis.&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/21047802?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">da Silva, Ronaldo Celerino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, Ludovica</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%">Role of DC-SIGN and L-SIGN receptors in HIV-1 vertical transmission.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum.

One of the mechanisms used involves the early recognition and uptake of microbes by host professional phagocytes, through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). These PRRs bind to conserved microbial ligands expressed by pathogens and initiate both innate and adaptative immune responses. Some PRRs located on the surface of dendritic cells (DCs) and other cells seem to play an important role in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) transmission. Dendritic cell-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3 grabbing non-integrin, CD209 (DC-SIGN) and its homolog, DC-SIGN-related (DC-SIGNR or L-SIGN) receptors are PPRs able to bind the HIV-1 gp120 envelope protein and, because alterations in their expression patterns also occur, they might play a role in both horizontal and vertical transmission as well as in disseminating the virus within the host. This review aims to explore the involvement of the DC-SIGN and L-SIGN receptors in HIV-1 transmission from mother to child.&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/21277928?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">da Silva, Gabriela Kniphoff</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guimarães, Rafael</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mattevi, Vanessa Suñé</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lazzaretti, Rosmeri Kuhmmer</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sprinz, Eduardo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kuhmmer, Regina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brandão, Lucas</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chies, José Artur Bogo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The role of mannose-binding lectin gene polymorphisms in susceptibility to HIV-1 infection in Southern Brazilian patients.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AIDS</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AIDS</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%">Brazil</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%">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%">Lectins, C-Type</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mannose-Binding Lectin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mannose-Binding Lectins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polymorphism, Genetic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Promoter Regions, Genetic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Receptors, Cell Surface</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 Feb 20</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">25</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">411-8</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;OBJECTIVE: &lt;/b&gt;This study investigates the role of mannose-binding lectin (MBL) in the susceptibility to HIV-1 infection analyzing polymorphisms located at the MBL2 promoter and exon 1 regions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;MATERIALS AND METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;The prevalence of MBL2 variant alleles was investigated in 410 HIV-1-infected patients from the South Brazilian HIV cohort and in 345 unexposed uninfected healthy individuals. The promoter variants were genotyped using polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) and exon 1 variants were analyzed by real-time PCR using a melting temperature assay and were confirmed by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). MBL2 genotypic and allelic frequencies were compared between HIV-1-infected patients and controls using the chi-squared tests.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The analyses were performed subdividing the individuals according to their ethnic origin. Among Euro-derived individuals a higher frequency of the LX/LX genotype was observed in patients when compared to controls (P &lt; 0.001). The haplotypic analysis also showed a higher frequency of the haplotypes associated with lower MBL levels among HIV-1-infected patients (P = 0.0001).

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" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21678449?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parco, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Novelli, Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vascotto, Fulvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Princi, Tanja</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Serum anti-Müllerian hormone as a predictive marker of polycystic ovarian syndrome.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Gen Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Gen Med</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%">4</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">759-63</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;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;The anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a dimeric protein secreted by the female ovaries and has two fundamental roles in follicle genesis. It delays the entrance of the primordial follicle into the pool of follicles in growth and diminishes the sensitivity of the ovarian follicle towards follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). The purpose of this work was to study the AMH (nv 2.0-6.8 ng/mL) as a marker during assisted reproductive technology (ART), in order to identify cases of infertility due to polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). This syndrome affects 10% of women with infertility problems, and a new biological marker could be useful to general practitioners of internal medicine to help generate the suspicion of PCOS so that they can refer the patient to the gynecologist for confirmation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;This study enrolled 236 patients aged 26-46 years undergoing assisted reproductive technology at the Institute for Maternal and Child Health, Trieste, Italy. On the third day of the ovarian cycle, the patients were given doses of AMH, FSH, and luteinizing hormone (LH, in cases of AMH &lt; 2.0-6.8 ng/mL). A control pelvic ultrasound was also carried out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;We identified 57 patients who were starting in vitro fertilization or embryo transfer with AMH values within the normal range (3.64 ± 1.51 ng/mL), 77 with values below normal (1.38 ± 0.32 ng/mL), and 96 cases with undetectable values of AMH. Six patients had very high AMH levels (10.0 ± 2.28 ng/mL) and, of these, five were found to have PCOS on pelvic ultrasound examination (P &lt; 0.05). We also found inverse correlations between AMH levels and age (r = -0.52) and between AMH and FSH levels (r = -0.32).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;In clinical practice it is common to encounter patients who turn to medicine in search of a cure for female infertility. In our experience, AMH two or three times the normal amount (10 ± 2.28 ng/mL), is a good indication of PCOS and infertility.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22114521?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rudan, Igor</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">El Arifeen, Shams</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bhutta, Zulfiqar A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Black, Robert E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brooks, Abdullah</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chan, Kit Yee</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chopra, Mickey</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Duke, Trevor</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marsh, David</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pio, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Simoes, Eric A F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tamburlini, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Theodoratou, Evropi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Weber, Martin W</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Whitney, Cynthia G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campbell, Harry</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Qazi, Shamim A</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">WHO/CHNRI Expert Group on Childhood Pneumonia</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Setting research priorities to reduce global mortality from childhood pneumonia by 2015.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PLoS Med</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PLoS Med.</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biomedical Research</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Preschool</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%">Pneumonia</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 Sep</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e1001099</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><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/21980266?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gana, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sainati, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Frau, M R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Monciotti, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poli, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cannioto, Z</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comelli, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Danesino, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minelli, A</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shwachman-Diamond syndrome and type 1 diabetes mellitus: more than a chance association?</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Exp Clin Endocrinol Diabetes</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Exp.

The majority of Shwachman-Diamond syndrome cases result from mutations in the Shwachman-Bodian-Diamond Syndrome gene. To date, type 1 diabetes mellitus has only been reported in 4 independent cases presenting with Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, 3 of them with molecular confirmation of the diagnosis. We describe 2 unrelated patients with clinical and molecular features typical of Shwachman-Diamond syndrome and type 1 diabetes mellitus. In addition, we report the occurrence rate of type 1 diabetes mellitus in the Italian registry for Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, which is low (3.23%) but increased at least 30-fold over the type 1 diabetes mellitus occurrence rate in the general population. No evidence of a direct correlation between Shwachman-Diamond syndrome and type 1 diabetes mellitus have been reported, therefore the presence of both diseases in the same patient might be a chance association, however we suggest that the defects in immune regulation of Shwachman-Diamond syndrome might play a role in the development of type 1 diabetes mellitus.&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/21553366?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Segat, Ludovica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bovenzi, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cortini, Enzo</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%">The significance of mannose-binding lectin gene polymorphisms on the risk of BK virus coinfection in women with human papillomavirus-positive cervical lesions.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum.

To disclose a possible role of the gene encoding for the mannose-binding lectin, MBL2, in susceptibility to BKV infection, we analyzed functional polymorphisms in the first exon of MBL2 in women stratified for the presence/absence of BKV and affected by different grades of HPV-induced cervical precancerous lesions. All BKV-positive samples were also HPV positive (HPV 16), and all presented with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions. The MBL2 A allele was significantly more frequent in BKV-negative patients than in BKV-positive patients. These data indicate a possible role for the A allele in conferring protection to BKV infection in high-risk HPV-positive women (odds ratio 0.40, 95% confidence interval 0.20-0.85, p = 0.01).&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/21536088?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Ventura, Giovanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pastore, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kiren, Valentina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bibalo, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pensiero, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lepore, Loredana</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A singular case of congenital self-healing histiocytosis with skin, liver and atypical eye involvement.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ocul Immunol Inflamm</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ocul.

Liver ultrasonography revealed hypoechogenic lesions with blurred borders. Biomicroscopy showed right posterior synechiae with fibrinoid deposits on the lens. At 7 months she presented with right acute glaucoma.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Biomicroscopy showed the presence of inflammatory pseudo-membrane covering the anterior surface of the lens, iris, and iridocorneal angle. Ab externo trabeculotomy was performed; access to the anterior chamber with capsulorrhexis forceps permitted a peeling of the pseudo-membrane with normalization of the intraocular pressure. Histologic examination of the membrane revealed an inflammatory tissue with CD1a and S-100 positive histiocytic cells.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;This is the first case of CSHLCH describing acute glaucoma secondary to a pseudo-inflammatory membrane with typical histiocytic cells, occluding the iridocorneal angle.&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/21864117?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pansuriya, Twinkal C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">van Eijk, Ronald</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">d'Adamo, Pio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">van Ruler, Maayke A J H</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kuijjer, Marieke L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oosting, Jan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cleton-Jansen, Anne-Marie</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">van Oosterwijk, Jolieke G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Verbeke, Sofie L J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meijer, Daniëlle</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">van Wezel, Tom</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nord, Karolin H</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sangiorgi, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Toker, Berkin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Liegl-Atzwanger, Bernadette</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">San-Julian, Mikel</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sciot, Raf</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Limaye, Nisha</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kindblom, Lars-Gunnar</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Daugaard, Soeren</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Godfraind, Catherine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boon, Laurence M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vikkula, Miikka</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kurek, Kyle C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Szuhai, Karoly</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">French, Pim J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bovée, Judith V M G</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Somatic mosaic IDH1 and IDH2 mutations are associated with enchondroma and spindle cell hemangioma in Ollier disease and Maffucci syndrome.</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.

In total, 35 of 43 (81%) subjects with Ollier disease and 10 of 13 (77%) with Maffucci syndrome carried IDH1 (98%) or IDH2 (2%) mutations in their tumors. Fourteen of 16 subjects had identical mutations in separate lesions. Immunohistochemistry to detect mutant IDH1 R132H protein suggested intraneoplastic and somatic mosaicism. IDH1 mutations in cartilage tumors were associated with hypermethylation and downregulated expression of several genes. Mutations were also found in 40% of solitary central cartilaginous tumors and in four chondrosarcoma cell lines, which will enable functional studies to assess the role of IDH1 and IDH2 mutations in tumor formation.&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/22057234?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zampieri, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Buratti, Emanuele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dominissini, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Montalvo, Anna Lisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pittis, Maria Gabriela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bembi, Bruno</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dardis, Andrea</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Splicing mutations in glycogen-storage disease type II: evaluation of the full spectrum of mutations and their relation to patients' phenotypes.</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.

A large number of mutations in the acid α-glucosidase gene have been described to date. Among them, ~15% are variations that may affect mRNA splicing process. In this study, we have for the first time comprehensively reviewed the available information on splicing mutations of the acid α-glucosidase gene and we have evaluated their possible impact on the splicing process using different in silico approaches. Out of the 39 different GAA-sequence variations described, an in silico analysis using seven different programs showed that 97% of them are predicted to have an impact on the splicing process. Moreover, this analysis showed a quite good correlation between the impact of the mutation on the splicing process and the clinical phenotype. In addition, we have performed the functional characterization of three novel sequence variants found in Italian patients and still uncharacterized. Using a minigene system, we have confirmed their pathogenic nature. In conclusion, this study has shown that in silico analysis represents a useful tool to select mutations that affect the splicing process of the acid α-glucosidase gene and provides an updated picture of all this kind of mutations reported till now.&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/21179066?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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, Egidio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berti, Irene</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Minute, Marta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zennaro, Floriana</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Successful treatment of acne with isotretinoin in chronic granulomatous disease.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur J Dermatol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eur J Dermatol</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acne Vulgaris</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anti-Infective Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comorbidity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dermatologic Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Granulomatous Disease, Chronic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Isotretinoin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole Combination</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-Feb</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">111-2</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><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/21224185?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vatta, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabris, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, Ludovica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Not, Tarcisio</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%">Tag-single nucleotide polymorphism-based human leukocyte antigen genotyping in celiac disease patients from northeastern Italy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum Immunol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hum.

Only 14 of 2010 chromosomes analyzed (0.7%) showed discrepancies between the Tag-SNPs real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method and the PCR-single-strand polymorphism (SSP) technique, indicating a high sensitivity and specificity (ranging from 0.987 to 1 and from 0.998 to 0.999, respectively) for tagging with respect to corresponding human leukocyte antigen (HLA) alleles identified by PCR-SSP. Moreover, the overall cost of the Tag-SNPs HLA typing method was low (3 to 4 €/sample instead of 35 to 70 €/sample with commercial kits), making it suitable for mass screenings. Hence, we believe that the Tag-SNPs HLA typing could be used to complement or replace classic HLA typing in at high-risk groups, for research purposes and eventually in population screening

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%">Lazzerini, Marzia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bramuzzo, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maschio, Massimo</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></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thromboembolism in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease: systematic review.</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.

We performed a systematic review of studies on incidence and characteristic of TE in children with IBD.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;We searched Medline, LILACS, EMBASE, POPLINE, CINHAL, and reference lists of identified articles, without language restrictions, in August 2010.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Population studies suggest that there is an increased risk of TE in children with IBD compared to controls. TE occurred in children with IBD in all age ranges, mostly (82.8%) during active disease, and more frequently in children with ulcerative colitis (odds ratio [OR] 3.7, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.8-7.6). At least one specific risk factor for TE was recognized in 50% of cases; two risk factors were present in 24%. Out of 92 published cases of TE in children with IBD, 54.3% occurred in cerebral site, 26% in the limbs, 13% in the abdominal vessels, and the remaining in the retina and lungs. After a first episode of TE, an early recurrence was observed in 11.4% of children, a late recurrence in 10%. A number of different therapeutic schemes were used. Overall mortality was 5.7% and was mostly associated with cerebral TE.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Population studies are needed to clarify the risk of TE in children with IBD, the relative weight of other risk factors, the characteristics of the events, and to define guidelines of therapy and prophylaxis.&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/21910180?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22023762?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Gortani, Giulia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maschio, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Leo, Grazia</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%">Two lumens, one diagnosis.</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.

We compare ZDV-sparing with ZDV-containing HAART in relation to maternal viral load at delivery, mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV, and congenital abnormality.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;This is an analysis of data from the National Study of HIV in Pregnancy and Childhood and the European Collaborative Study. Data on 7573 singleton births to diagnosed HIV-infected women between January 2000 and June 2009 were analyzed. Logistic regression models were fitted to estimate adjusted odds ratios (AORs).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Overall, 15.8% (1199 of 7573) of women received ZDV-sparing HAART, with increasing use between 2000 and 2009 (P &lt; 0.001). Nearly a fifth (18.4%) of women receiving ZDV-sparing HAART in pregnancy had a detectable viral load at delivery compared with 28.6% of women on ZDV-containing HAART [AOR 0.90; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.72 to 1.14, P = 0.4]. MTCT rates were 0.8% and 0.9% in the ZDV-sparing and ZDV-containing groups, respectively (AOR 1.81; 95% CI: 0.77 to 4.26, P = 0.2). The congenital abnormality rate was the same in both groups (2.7%, AOR 0.98; 95% CI: 0.66 to 1.45, P = 0.9), with no significant difference between the groups in a subanalysis of pregnancies with first trimester HAART exposure (AOR 0.79; 95% CI: 0.48 to 1.30, P = 0.4).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;We found no difference in risk of detectable viral load at delivery, MTCT, or congenital abnormality when comparing ZDV-sparing with ZDV-containing HAART.

In a subset of patients affected by IBD, arthropathy may be the leading presenting sign. In the past years, remarkable advances in gastrointestinal endoscopy techniques have been achieved; recently, the development of capsule endoscopy (CE) provided a non-invasive method for the complete endoscopic evaluation, including small bowel assessment. We report three children suffering from IBD but presenting with articular complaints in whom CE was a useful tool for detecting gut inflammation. Patients were investigated with the wireless CE: PillCam SB2 (Given Imaging, Yoqneam, Israel) capsule, the second-generation capsule, was used in our paediatric patients. Three patients were initially evaluated for arthropathy. Enteropathic arthritis was suspected for gastrointestinal symptoms and/or persistence of inflammatory markers elevation. In one of these children, conventional endoscopy was refused by parents, while in the other two children, CE was proposed as first-line diagnostic tool. In all patients, CE revealed to be safe and provided information that led to diagnosis. Paediatric rheumatologists should consider CE as a valid, non-invasive tool, eventually first level diagnostic approach in order to evaluate the presence of IBD in children presenting with chronic articular complaints.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

Spatially resolved X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation is a technique that allows imaging and quantification of chemical elements in biological specimens with high sensitivity. In the present study, we applied XRF techniques at a macro and micro level to carry out drug distribution studies on ex vivo models to confirm the hepatobiliary disposition of the Gd-based magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent B22956/1. 2. Gd presence was selectively quantified allowing the determination of the time dependent disappearance of the drug from blood and its hepatic accumulation in mice after administration. Elemental mapping highlighted the drug distribution differences between healthy and diseased livers. XRF microanalyses showed that in CCl(4) -induced hepatitis, B22956/1 has greatly reduced hepatic accumulation, shown as a 20-fold reduction of Gd presence. Furthermore, a significant increase of Fe presence was found in steatotic compared with healthy livers, in line with the disease features. 3. The present results show that XRF might be useful in preclinical pharmacological studies with drugs containing exogenous elements. Furthermore, quantitative and high-sensitivity elemental mapping allows simultaneous detection of chemical variation, showing pathological conditions. This approach was useful in suggesting reduced B22956/1 accumulation in steatotic livers, thus opening possible new diagnostic perspectives for this drug.&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/21957877?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pontillo, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brandão, Lucas A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guimarães, Rafael L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Segat, Ludovica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Athanasakis, Emmanouil</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%">A 3'UTR SNP in NLRP3 gene is associated with susceptibility to HIV-1 infection.</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.

Recently it has been hypothesized that inflammasomes could play an important role in the host response to viruses. The aim of our study is to verify if single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes encoding for NALPs-innate immune receptors that form molecular complexes leading to the production of IL-1beta and the activation of immune response-could influence the individual susceptibility to HIV-1.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;DESIGN: &lt;/b&gt;We performed an association study analyzing 2 NLRP1 and NLRP3 SNPs in HIV-1 vertically infected Brazilian children (n = 135), HIV-1-infected Brazilain adults (n = 192) and HIV-1-positive Italian seropositive subjects (n = 192).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The 3'UTR NLRP3 rs10754558 SNP was associated with HIV-1 infection in all the studied groups. The frequency of rs10754558 G allele was differently distributed within seropositive subjects (HIV+) and controls, and in particular the GG genotype was less frequent in HIV+.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;susceptibility to HIV-1 infection is associated with a 3'UTR NLRP3 polymorphism. This is the first report linking SNPs in the NALPs with HIV-1 infection, and further epidemiologic and functional studies are needed to deeper investigate the role of inflammasome in the susceptibility to 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"

(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%">Patarino, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Norbedo, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barbi, Egidio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poli, Furio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Furlan, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savron, Fabio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acute respiratory failure in a child after talc inhalation.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Respiration</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Respiration</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%">Infant</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inhalation Exposure</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Respiratory Insufficiency</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Talc</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</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">79</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">340</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><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/19052443?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Bulla, Roberta</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tripodo, Claudio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gismondi, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stabile, Helena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bossi, Fleur</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guarnotta, Carla</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Garlanda, Cecilia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Seta, Francesco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Spessotto, Paola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Santoni, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ghebrehiwet, Berhane</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girardi, Guillermina</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%">An alternative role of C1q in cell migration and tissue remodeling: contribution to trophoblast invasion and placental development.</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.

We discovered that C1q was widely distributed in human decidual stroma in the absence of C4 and C3 and was actively synthesized by migrating extravillous trophoblasts. The cells expressed the messages for the three chains of C1q and secreted this complement component that interacted with the proteins of the decidual extracellular matrix. Solid phase-bound C1q promoted trophoblast adhesion and migration, and cell binding to C1q resulted in activation of ERK1/2 MAPKs. Ab inhibition experiments showed that the receptors for the globular head of C1q/p33 and α(4)β(1) integrin were both involved in this process and were colocalized on the cell surface following binding of C1q to trophoblasts. We also found that C1q(-/-) mice manifested increased frequency of fetal resorption, reduced fetal weight, and smaller litter sizes compared with wild-type mice. C1q deficiency was associated with impaired labyrinth development and decidual vessel remodeling. Collectively, these data suggest that C1q plays an important role in promoting trophoblast invasion of decidua and that defective local production of C1q may be involved in pregnancy disorders, such as pre-eclampsia, characterized by poor trophoblast invasion.&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/20810993?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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, L</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morgutti, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Athanasakis, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trevisiol, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Amaddeo, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poli, F</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%">Analysis of DEFB1 regulatory SNPs in cystic fibrosis patients from North-Eastern Italy.</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.

However, other factors such as human defensins and the genes encoding for these antimicrobial peptides have been hypothesized as possible modifiers influencing airways infection in CF patients, but their role in the pathogenesis of lung disease is still debated. Since DEFB1 gene encoding for human beta-defensin 1 displays features such as antimicrobial or chemotactic activity playing a role in inflammation, it has been considered as a possible candidate CF modifier gene. We analysed three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the 5'-untranslated region of the DEFB1 gene (namely g-52G&gt;A, g-44C&gt;G and g-20G&gt;A) in a group of 62 CF patients from North Eastern Italy, and in 130 healthy controls, with the aim of verifying the possible association of these functional SNPs with the pulmonary phenotype of CF patients. DEFB1 SNPs have been genotyped by using Taqman allele-specific fluorescent probes and a real-time PCR platform. No significant differences were found for allele, genotype and haplotype frequencies of DEFB1 g-52G&gt;A, g-44C&gt;G and g-20G&gt;A SNPs in CF patients stratified for Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, as well as in patients with a severe and mild clinical phenotype or in patients stratified for CFTR genotypes. DEFB1 allele, genotype and haplotype frequencies of CF patients globally considered were similar to those of healthy controls. Our findings are discordant with respect to another recent study performed on CF patients coming from Southern Italy, probably due to different ethnicity of the patients.&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/20193032?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Boscolo, Sabrina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lorenzon, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sblattero, Daniele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Florian, Fiorella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stebel, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marzari, Roberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Not, Tarcisio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aeschlimann, Daniel</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hadjivassiliou, Marios</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tongiorgi, Enrico</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anti transglutaminase antibodies cause ataxia in mice.</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%">Animals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antibodies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ataxia</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Autoimmune Diseases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brain</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Celiac Disease</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gliadin</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%">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%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Motor Skills</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rats</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rats, Sprague-Dawley</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Transglutaminases</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</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e9698</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;Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune gastrointestinal disorder characterized by the presence of anti-transglutaminase 2 (TG2) and anti-gliadin antibodies.

To determine the role of anti-TG2 antibodies in ataxia, two anti-TG2 single chain variable fragments (scFv), isolated from a phage-display IgA antibody library, were characterized by immunohistochemistry and ELISA, and injected in mice to study their effects on motor coordination. We found that 75% of the CD patient population without evidence of neurological involvement, has circulating anti-neural IgA and/or IgG antibodies. Two anti-TG2 scFvs, cloned from one CD patient, stained blood vessels but only one reacted with neurons. This anti-TG2 antibody showed cross reactivity with the transglutaminase isozymes TG3 and TG6. Intraventricular injection of the anti-TG2 or the anti-TG2/3/6 cross-reactive scFv provoked transient, equally intensive ataxia in mice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;The serum from CD patients contains anti-TG2, TG3 and TG6 antibodies that may potentially cause ataxia.&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/20300628?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antimicrobial plant peptides isolated from native and crop species in Brazil: development of new drugs.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr Protein Pept Sci</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr.

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%">Fabretto, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Shardlow, Alison</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faletra, Flavio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lepore, Loredana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hladnik, Uros</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 case of lymphedema-distichiasis syndrome carrying a new de novo frameshift FOXC2 mutation.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ophthalmic Genet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ophthalmic Genet.</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%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eye Abnormalities</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eyelashes</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Face</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Forkhead Transcription Factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Frameshift Mutation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lymphedema</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Syndrome</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 Jun</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">31</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">98-100</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;Lymphedema-Distichiasis (LD, OMIM 153400) is an autosomal dominant disorder with variable expression. The mutated gene implicated is FOXC2, which encodes for a forkhead transcription factor involved in the development of the lymphatic and vascular system. LD is characterized by late childhood or pubertal onset lymphedema of the limbs and distichiasis. Other associations have been reported, including congenital heart disease, ptosis, scoliosis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Here we describe a case of LD carrying a de novo frameshift mutation of FOXC2 who presented a prepubertal onset of lower limbs lymphedema and mild distichiasis associated with other anomalies such as webbing neck and ptosis.&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/20450314?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Londero, Margherita</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pastore, Serena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanazzo, Giulio A</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%">A child with pain after mild trauma.</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.

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%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decorti, Giuliana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pontillo, Alessandra</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%">Decreased cholesterol levels reflect a consumption of anti-inflammatory isoprenoids associated with an impaired control of inflammation in a mouse model of mevalonate kinase deficiency.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inflamm Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inflamm.

FOXP3 SNP 543 was genotyped by denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) and sequencing on DNA samples from 58 additional children with KD and 114 healthy donors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The frequencies of CD4+CD25 +FOXP3+ regulatory T cells were significantly (p=0.0002) lower during the acute phase of KD than in sex- and age-matched healthy donors (median % + SD: 4.8+/-1.3 vs. 7.7+/-1.7) and a similar tendency was revealed for FOXP3 mRNA transcripts (p&lt;0.0001). FOXP3 expression increased significantly, at both protein and mRNA levels, after intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy treatment and achieving complete remission of disease (at least 48 hrs; median 9.5 days, range 2-30). Of the 58 patients screened, only one female subject (1.7%) carried the presence of 543 SNP in heterozygosis (C&gt;T; for a total of 1 allele out of 88), with no difference between KD patients and controls (0.0%, 0/203 alleles).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our data reinforce the notion of an impaired immunoregulation in KD, suggesting also a role of IVIG treatment in modifying the Treg compartment. FOXP3 SNP 543 does not seem to be involved in susceptibility to KD in Italian children.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1 Suppl 57</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20412712?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zotti, Daniel</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bava, Michele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Delendi, Mauro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Design and development of a computer program for the evaluation of the healthcare executive - biomed 2010.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biomed Sci Instrum</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biomed Sci Instrum</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">46</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">117-22</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;According to the Italian law which regulates executive healthcare contracts, the professional evaluation is mandatory. The goal of the periodic evaluation is to enhance and motivate the professional involved. In addition this process should 1. increase the sense of duty towards the patients, 2. become aware of ones own professional growth and aspirations and 3. enhance the awareness of the healthcare executive regarding the companys strategies. To satisfy these requirements a data sheet has been modeled for every evaluated subject, divided in two sections. In the first part, the chief executive officer (CEO) scores: 1. behavioral characteristics, 2. multidisciplinary collaboration and involvement, 3. organizational skills, 4. professional quality and training, 5. relationships with the citizens. The scores for these fields are decided by the CEO. In the second part the CEO evaluates: 1. quantitative job dimension, 2.technology innovation, 3. scientific and educational activities. The value scores of these fields are decided by the CEO together with the professional under evaluation. A previously established correction coefficient can be used for all the scores. This evaluation system model has been constructed according to the enhancement quality approaches (Deming cycle) and a web-based software has been developed on a Linux platform using LAMP technology and php programming techniques. The program replicates all the evaluation process creating different profiles of authentications and authorizations which can then give to the evaluator the possibility to make lists of the professionals to evaluate, to upload documents regarding their activities and goals, to receive individual documents in automatically generated folders, to change the correction coefficients, to obtain year by year the individual scores. The advantages of using this web-based software include easy data consultation and update, the implementation of IT security issues, the easy portability and scalability of the system itself in different contexts even beyond healthcare.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20467082?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Ntoburi, Stephen</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hutchings, Andrew</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sanderson, Colin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carpenter, James</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Weber, Martin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">English, Mike</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paediatric Quality of Hospital Care Indicator Panel</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Development of paediatric quality of inpatient care indicators for low-income countries - A Delphi study.</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</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child, Hospitalized</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Delphi Technique</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Developing Countries</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Expert Testimony</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%">Inpatients</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatrics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality Indicators, Health Care</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%">2010</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">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;&lt;b&gt;BACKGROUND: &lt;/b&gt;Indicators of quality of care for children in hospitals in low-income countries have been proposed, but information on their perceived validity and acceptability is lacking.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;Potential indicators representing structural and process aspects of care for six common conditions were selected from existing, largely qualitative WHO assessment tools and guidelines. We employed the Delphi technique, which combines expert opinion and existing scientific information, to assess their perceived validity and acceptability. Panels of experts, one representing an international panel and one a national (Kenyan) panel, were asked to rate the indicators over 3 rounds and 2 rounds respectively according to a variety of attributes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Based on a pre-specified consensus criteria most of the indicators presented to the experts were accepted: 112/137(82%) and 94/133(71%) for the international and local panels respectively. For the other indicators there was no consensus; none were rejected. Most indicators were rated highly on link to outcomes, reliability, relevance, actionability and priority but rated more poorly on feasibility of data collection under routine conditions. There was moderate to substantial agreement between the two panels of experts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;This Delphi study provided evidence for the perceived usefulness of most of a set of measures of quality of hospital care for children proposed for use in low-income countries. However, both international and local experts expressed concerns that data for many process-based indicators may not currently be available. The feasibility of widespread quality assessment and responsiveness of indicators to intervention should be examined as part of continued efforts to improve approaches to informative hospital quality assessment.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21144065?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Declich, V</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Badina, L</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%">Does infant gastro-oesophageal reflux really deserve medical attention?</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.

patients with inherited thrombocytopenias. To evaluate whether stimulating megakaryopoiesis could increase platelet count in these conditions, we treated patients with a severe thrombocytopenia induced by MYH9 mutations (MYH9-related disease) with a nonpeptide thrombopoietin receptor agonist, eltrombopag. Twelve adult patients with MYH9-RD and platelet counts of less than 50 × 10(9)/L received 50 mg of eltrombopag orally per day for 3 weeks. Patients who achieved a platelet count higher than 150 × 10(9)/L stopped therapy, those with 100 to 150 platelets × 10(9)/L continued treatment at the same eltrombopag dose for 3 additional weeks, while those with less than 100 platelets × 10(9)/L increased the eltrombopag dose to 75 mg for 3 weeks. Major responses (platelet count of at least 100 × 10(9)/L or 3 times the baseline value) were obtained in 8 patients, minor responses (platelet counts at least twice the baseline value) in 3. One patient did not respond. Bleeding tendency disappeared in 8 of 10 patients with bleeding symptoms at baseline. Mild adverse events were reported in 2 patients. The availability of thrombopoietin mimetics opened new prospects in the treatment of inherited thrombocytopenias.

The transition from the former to the latter ones takes place via lineage-restricted progenitors in a highly regulated way. This process is mastered by large sets of genes, among which some implicated in central nervous system pattern formation. The aim of this study was to disentangle the kinetic and histogenetic roles exerted by two of these genes, Emx2 and Foxg1, in cortico-cerebral precursors. For this purpose, we set up a new integrated in vitro assay design. Embryonic cortical progenitors were transduced with lentiviral vectors driving overexpression of Emx2 and Foxg1 in NSCs and neuronal progenitors. Cells belonging to different neuronogenic and gliogenic compartments were labeled by spectrally distinguishable fluoroproteins driven by cell type-specific promoters and by cell type-specific antibodies and were scored via multiplex cytofluorometry and immunocytofluorescence. A detailed picture of Emx2 and Foxg1 activities in cortico-cerebral histogenesis resulted from this study. Unexpectedly, we found that both genes inhibit gliogenesis and promote neuronogenesis, through distinct mechanisms, and Foxg1 also dramatically stimulates neurite outgrowth. Remarkably, such activities, alone or combined, may be exploited to ameliorate the neuronal output obtainable from neural cultures, for purposes of cell-based brain repair.&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/20506244?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Benko-Iseppon, Ana Maria</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%">Ethnobotanical bioprospection of candidates for potential antimicrobial drugs from Brazilian plants: state of art and perspectives.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr Protein Pept Sci</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr.

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%">Verzegnassi, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chinello, Matteo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Exenatide in type 2 diabetes.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lancet</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biological Markers</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Energy Intake</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hypoglycemic Agents</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Insulin</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Insulin, Long-Acting</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peptides</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quality of Life</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Venoms</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 Sep 25</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">376</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1052-3; author reply 1053</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9746</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20870094?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scapoli, Luca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martinelli, Marcella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pezzetti, Furio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Palmieri, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Girardi, Ambra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Savoia, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bianco, Anna Monica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carinci, Francesco</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Expression and association data strongly support JARID2 involvement in nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate.</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.

Genetic studies have provided evidence for the role of several genes and candidate loci in clefting; however, conflicting results have frequently been obtained and much have to be done to unravel the complex genetics of CL/P. In the present investigation we have focused on the candidate region in 6p23, a region that have been found linked to CL/P in several investigations, in the attempt to find out the susceptibility gene provisionally named OFC1. Gene expression experiments in mice embryo of positional candidate genes revealed that JARID2 was highly and specifically expressed in epithelial cells in merging palatal shelves. A family-based linkage disequilibrium study confirmed the pivotal role of JARID2 in orofacial development and strongly supports a role for this gene in CL/P etiology (multiallelic haplotype test P=6 x 10(-5)). Understanding the molecular role of JARID2 within facial development may offer additional information to further unravel the complex genetics of CL/P.&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/20506229?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Accardo, Agostino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pensiero, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ciana, Giovanni</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parentin, Fulvio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bembi, Bruno</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Eye movement impairment recovery in a Gaucher patient treated with miglustat.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neurol Res Int</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neurol Res Int</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">358534</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 Gaucher Disease (GD) the enzyme (imiglucerase) replacement therapy (ERT) is not able to stop the progression of the neurological involvement, while the substrate reduction therapy (SRT), performed by N-Butyldeoxynojirimycin (miglustat), is an alternative that should be evaluated. Two sisters, presenting the same genotype (R353G/R353G), were diagnosed as suffering from GD; one of them later developed neurological alterations identified by quantitative saccadic eye movements analysis. The aim of the study was to quantitatively measure the miglustat effects in this GD neurological patient. Eye movement analysis during subsequent controls was performed by estimating the characteristic parameters of saccadic main sequence. The study demonstrates that the SRT alone can be effective in GD3. Moreover, it confirms that quantitative eye movement analysis is able to precociously identify also slight neurological alterations, permitting more accurate GD classification.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21152212?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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 Leo, Luigina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Toro, Nicola</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decorti, Giuliana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Malusà, Noelia</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%">Fasting increases tobramycin oral absorption in mice.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antimicrob Agents Chemother</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antimicrob.

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. The patient slowly improved concurrently with a decrease in virus load, which resulted negative 42 days after diagnosis. No other drug-resistant influenza A/H1N1v virus strains have been detected in Italy (up to the end of November 2009) since the first case of the novel A/H1N1v virus was identified in the country (May 2009).&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/20447860?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zadro, Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ciorba, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabris, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morgutti, Marcello</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Trevisi, Patrizia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martini, Alessandro</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Five new OTOF gene mutations and auditory neuropathy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Int.

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%">Vettore, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">De Rocco, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gerber, Bernhard</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scandellari, Raffaella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bianco, Anna Monica</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%">Fabris, Fabrizio</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%">A G to C transversion at the last nucleotide of exon 25 of the MYH9 gene results in a missense mutation rather than in a splicing defect.</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%">Adolescent</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blood Platelets</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Computational Biology</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%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inclusion Bodies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kidney Failure, Chronic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Molecular Motor Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mutation, Missense</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Myosin Heavy Chains</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neutrophils</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nonmuscle Myosin Type IIA</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nucleotides</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">RNA Splicing</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thrombocytopenia</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 Sep-Oct</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">53</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">256-60</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;MYH9-related disease (MYH9-RD) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in MYH9, the gene encoding the heavy chain of non-muscle myosin IIA. Patients present with congenital macrothrombocytopenia and inclusion bodies in neutrophils and might develop sensorineural deafness, presenile cataract, and/or progressive nephropathy leading to end-stage renal failure. In two families with macrothrombocytopenia we identified a novel c.3485G &gt; C mutation in the last nucleotide of exon 25. Bioinformatic tools for splice site prediction and minigene functional test predicted splicing anomalies of exon 25. However, analysis of RNA purified from patient's peripheral blood did not allowed us to detect any anomalies, suggesting that RNA processing is correct at least in this tissue. Therefore, we concluded that c.3485G &gt; C leads to a novel missense mutation (p.Arg1162Thr) of myosin-9, which resulted to be slightly degraded in patient platelets. A precise definition of the effect of mutations is fundamental to improve our knowledge into the pathogenetic mechanisms responsible for 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/20603234?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Crews, Kristine R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Evans, William E</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genetic polymorphism of inosine-triphosphate-pyrophosphatase influences mercaptopurine metabolism and toxicity during treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia individualized for thiopurine-S-methyl-transferase status.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Expert Opin Drug Saf</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Expert Opin Drug Saf</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6-Mercaptopurine</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antineoplastic Combined Chemotherapy Protocols</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Child</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Individualized Medicine</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Methyltransferases</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Models, Biological</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neutropenia</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nucleotide Transport Proteins</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polymorphism, Genetic</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%">Pyrophosphatases</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 Jan</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23-37</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;IMPORTANCE OF THE FIELD: &lt;/b&gt;Although genetic polymorphisms in the gene encoding human thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) are known to have a marked effect on mercaptopurine metabolism and toxicity, there are many patients with wild-type TPMT who develop toxicity. Furthermore, when mercaptopurine dosages are adjusted in patients who are heterozygous at the TPMT locus, there are still some patients who develop toxicity for reasons that are not fully understood. Therefore, we recently studied the effects of a common polymorphism in another gene encoding an enzyme involved in mercaptopurine metabolism (SNP rs1127354 in inosine-triphospate-pyrophosphatase, ITPA), showing that genetic polymorphism of ITPA is a significant determinant of mercaptopurine metabolism and of febrile neutropenia following combination chemotherapy of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in which mercaptopurine doses are individualized based on TPMT genotype.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AREA COVERED IN THIS REVIEW: &lt;/b&gt;In this review, we summarize the knowledge available about the effect and clinical relevance of TPMT and ITPA on mercaptopurine pharmacogenomics, with a particular focus on the use of this medication in pediatric patients with ALL.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;WHAT THE READER WILL GAIN: &lt;/b&gt;Reader will gain insights into: i) the effects of pharmacogenomic traits on mercaptopurine toxicity and efficacy for the treatment of ALL and ii) individualization strategies that can be used to mitigate toxicity without compromising efficacy in pediatric patients with ALL.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;TAKE HOME MESSAGE: &lt;/b&gt;Mercaptopurine dose can be adjusted on the basis of TPMT genotype to mitigate toxicity in pediatric patients with ALL. As treatment is individualized in this way for the most relevant genetic determinant of drug response (i.e., for mercaptopurine, TPMT), the importance of other genetic polymorphisms emerges (e.g., ITPA).&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/20021291?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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 face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21079575?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bua, Jenny</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marchetti, Federico</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Faleschini, Elena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ventura, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bussani, Rossana</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hepatic glycogenosis in an adolescent with diabetes.</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.

In this work, nucleotide sequences of the HIS1 (coding for histatin 1) and HIS2 (coding for histatin 3) genes, homologous to the human ones, have been sequenced and analysed in five primates species including Great Ape, Hylobatidae and Cercopithecidae. In HIS1, the region corresponding to the putative mature peptide shows a premature stop codon in Macaca and Cercopithecus, while HIS2 a six codon insertion in the Cercopithecidae. Histatin 5, a 24-residue peptide derived from histatin 3, is the most antimicrobially active among human histatins, thus macaque and nomascus orthologues of histatin 5 were selected for chemical synthesis and functional characterization, in comparison to the human peptide. All synthesized histatins are predicted to be poorly amphipathic, depending on the charged state of His residues and assume partially a-helical conformations only in lipophilic conditions. Antimicrobial assays against Candida and Criptococcus spp. indicate somewhat different spectra of in vitro activity against the tested fungi. We have described HIS1 and HIS2 gene variations in primates and have analysed their functional effects on selected Hst5 orthologues. The human antimicrobial peptide has been proposed to represent an important lead for new generation of antimicrobial compounds for the treatment of oral mycoses, thus the information from the non-human primates histatins studied may aid strategies for drugs design.&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/20423320?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Catamo, Eulalia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabris, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morgutti, Marcello</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Agaro, Pierlanfranco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campello, Cesare</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%">HLA-G*0105N allele is associated with augmented risk for HIV infection in white female patients.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AIDS</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">AIDS</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%">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%">Histocompatibility Antigens Class I</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%">Middle Aged</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polymorphism, Genetic</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Young Adult</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 Jul 31</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">24</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1961-4</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;We analyzed HLA-G 3777G &gt; C, HLA-G 14 bp deletion/insertion and HLA-G*0105N polymorphisms in HIV-positive white adult participants, infected through horizontal heterosexual transmission, and unexposed uninfected individuals, all from north eastern Italy.

The groups of cases (72 women with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion or cervical cancer) and controls (176 women with normal Pap smear or benign alterations) were investigated for six viral genotypes (HPV 16, 18, 31, 33, 6, 11) in ecto- and endocervical material using MY09/MY11 primers. The independent variables were ranked in three levels of determination: distal (sociodemographic), intermediate (behavioral) and proximal (previous Pap smear). The homogeneity of proportions was tested (χ2), unadjusted Odds Ratios (OR) were obtained and hierarchical logistic regression was applied to the final model, with adjustment of the effect of each variable to the outcome based on the variables in the same and previous levels of causality.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;the viral genotype of cervical infection was identified in 76.6% of the 248 women participating in the study. High-risk HPV genotypes (83.4% of cases and 67.1% of controls) were predominant, especially HPV 16 and 31. The distal risk factors identified were: living in a rural area (OR=2.71, 95%CI: 1.18-6.23), less than three years of study (OR=3.97, 95%CI: 2.09-7.54) and family income below two minimum wages (OR=3.30, 95%CI: 1.04-10.51); intermediate: four or more pregnancies (OR=2.00, 95%CI: 1.06-3.76); and proximal: absence of a previous Pap smear (OR=9.74, 95%CI: 2.48-38.28).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;genotypes 16 and 31 of cervical HPV infection are predominant among women assisted by the Public Health System in Northeastern Brazil. Socioeconomic and reproductive factors, as well as the absence of cytological screening, represent risk factors for the progression of infection to high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion and cervical cancer.&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/21271154?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Castagnola, Elio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rossi, Mario R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cesaro, Simone</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Livadiotti, Susanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giacchino, Mareva</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanazzo, Giulio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fioredda, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beretta, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ciocchello, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carli, Modesto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Putti, Maria Caterina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pansini, Valeria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Berger, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Licciardello, Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Farina, Silvia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Caviglia, Ilaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Haupt, Riccardo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Incidence of bacteremias and invasive mycoses in children with acute non-lymphoblastic leukemia: results from a multi-center Italian study.</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%">Antineoplastic Combined Chemotherapy Protocols</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bacteremia</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%">Follow-Up Studies</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%">Leukemia, Myeloid, Acute</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mycoses</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neoplasm Recurrence, Local</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retrospective Studies</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 1</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">55</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1103-7</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;Data on the epidemiology of bacteremias and invasive fungal diseases (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.

To identify cortical areas involved in bitter taste perception and to determine if individual differences in taste sensitivity to 6-n-propylthiouracil (PROP) are represented in the brain by different cortical activation patterns, we examined 48 healthy volunteers using functional near-infrared spectroscopy. Participants rated the perceived intensity of filter paper disks impregnated with PROP and NaCl during the imaging procedure and were then classified as PROP tasters and nontasters. We monitored cortical activity in both the anterior and posterior regions of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and in the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC). No activity was detected in the anterior DLPFC in any of the participants. However, during the administration of PROP, significant cortical activation was detected in the more posterior regions of the left DLPFC and in the left and right VLPFC but only in PROP tasters. PROP nontasters showed no cortical activity in these areas. These data suggest that the prefrontal cortex is involved in the conscious perception of the bitter taste of PROP and that the pattern of activity is consistent with individual differences in the ability to taste this compound. Thus, the PROP phenotype is associated with fundamental differences in cortical taste processing.&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/20801896?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biarnés, Xevi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marchiori, Alessandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Giorgetti, Alejandro</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lanzara, Carmela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Carloni, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Born, Stephan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brockhoff, Anne</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Behrens, Maik</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Meyerhof, Wolfgang</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Insights into the binding of Phenyltiocarbamide (PTC) agonist to its target human TAS2R38 bitter receptor.</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%">Amino Acid Sequence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calcium</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cell Line</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Computational Biology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dose-Response Relationship, Drug</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Intracellular Space</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ligands</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%">Mutagenesis, Site-Directed</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phenylthiourea</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Protein Binding</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Protein Structure, Secondary</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Receptors, G-Protein-Coupled</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</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e12394</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Humans' bitter taste perception is mediated by the hTAS2R subfamily of the G protein-coupled membrane receptors (GPCRs). Structural information on these receptors is currently limited. Here we identify residues involved in the binding of phenylthiocarbamide (PTC) and in receptor activation in one of the most widely studied hTAS2Rs (hTAS2R38) by means of structural bioinformatics and molecular docking. The predictions are validated by site-directed mutagenesis experiments that involve specific residues located in the putative binding site and trans-membrane (TM) helices 6 and 7 putatively involved in receptor activation. Based on our measurements, we suggest that (i) residue N103 participates actively in PTC binding, in line with previous computational studies. (ii) W99, M100 and S259 contribute to define the size and shape of the binding cavity. (iii) W99 and M100, along with F255 and V296, play a key role for receptor activation, providing insights on bitter taste receptor activation not emerging from the previously reported computational models.&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/20811630?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Bovenzi, Massimo</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%">JCV/BKV and SV40 viral load in lymphoid tissues of young immunocompetent children from an area of north-east 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 major site of polyomavirus persistence are the uroepithelial cells which leads to oral transmission. It has recently been hypothesized that tonsils could be a possible reservoir. The role of tonsil, adenoid, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) as possible sites of JCV, BKV, and SV40 latency in young healthy children was assessed. Two hundred fifteen fresh specimens, including 57 tonsil, 80 adenoid, and 78 PBMC samples from 80 immunocompetent children (mean age 4.8 years) were analyzed to determine the viral load by quantitative real-time PCR. The human herpes virus 6 (HHV-6) was tested as a lymphotropic reference virus. Polyomavirus was detected in 5/80 (6.2%) children while HHV-6 infection affected 27/80 children (33.7%) (P &lt; 0.001). SV40 was detected in one adenoid sample, while footprints of BKV were found in one adenoid and three tonsil samples. JCV was never found in all samples. Polyomavirus sequences were not detected in the 78 blood samples. One adenoid and two tonsils from three children (1.4%) were positive for both polyomavirus and HHV-6. Infections were characterized by low replication rates ranging typically from 1 x 10e(2)/5.5 x 10e(4) to 6.8 x 10e(3)/8.5 x 10e(4) viral copies/number of cells. In conclusion, tonsils and adenoids of children could effectively harbor BKV and SV40, although only very few cells proved to be infected. Nevertheless, the low prevalence of polyomavirus, in comparison with the lymphotropic HHV-6, suggests that these tissues are unlikely to be the preferred site of polyomavirus latency, at least in younger 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/20513090?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parco, Sergio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Leukocyte peroxidase and leptin: an associated link of glycemic tolerance and bronchial asthma?</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">113-6</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Recent observations suggest the presence of an interaction between leptin and the inflammatory system during bronchial asthma. Although there is evidence of a positive association between asthma and obesity in adults and children, little is yet known about the role of serum leptin, as a potential mediator for bronchial epithelial homeostasis, and intraleukocyte myeloperoxidase (MPO), a hemoprotein with a molecular weight of 140 kDa, expression of the inflammatory system, in asthmatic children. Glycemic tolerance is an important pathogenetic element in developing type 2 mellitus diabetes and a confirmed predictor of incident asthma-like symptoms in adults. This work is aimed at assessing a possible correlation between basal leukocyte myeloperoxidase levels, basal leptin and insulin-glycemic tolerance in obese children. Thirty obese children aged between 7 and 15 years were examined. The analyzed data showed a normal response to the insulinemic stimulus in children of both sexes whose basal leptin and MPO values, expressed as MPO intracellular index, were within the normal range.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><custom1><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21437081?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Boer, K</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">England, K</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Godfried, M H</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Thorne, C</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">European Collaborative Study</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mode of delivery in HIV-infected pregnant women and prevention of mother-to-child transmission: changing practices in Western Europe.</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%">Antiretroviral Therapy, Highly Active</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cesarean Section</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Delivery, Obstetric</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Epidemiologic Methods</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Europe</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%">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%">Infectious Disease Transmission, Vertical</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%">Prenatal Care</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Substance Abuse, Intravenous</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Viral Load</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Young Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zidovudine</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 Jul 1</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">368-78</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 examine temporal and geographical patterns of mode of delivery in the European Collaborative Study (ECS), identify factors associated with elective caesarean section (CS) delivery in the highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) era and explore associations between mode of delivery and mother-to-child transmission (MTCT).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;The ECS is a cohort study in which HIV-infected pregnant women are enrolled and their infants prospectively followed. Data on 5238 mother-child pairs (MCPs) enrolled in Western European ECS sites between 1985 and 2007 were analysed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The elective CS rate increased from 16% in 1985-1993 to 67% in 1999-2001, declining to 51% by 2005-2007. In 2002-2004, 10% of infants were delivered vaginally, increasing to 34% by 2005-2007. During the HAART era, women in Belgium, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands were less likely to deliver by elective CS than those in Italy and Spain [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 0.07; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.04-0.12]. The MTCT rate in 2005-2007 was 1%. Among MCPs with maternal HIV RNA&lt;400 HIV-1 RNA copies/mL (n=960), elective CS was associated with 80% decreased MTCT risk (AOR 0.20; 95% CI 0.05-0.65) adjusting for HAART and prematurity. Two infants born to 559 women with viral loads &lt;50 copies/mL were infected, one of whom was delivered by elective CS (MTCT rate 0.4%; 95% CI 0.04-1.29).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Our findings suggest that elective CS prevents MTCT even at low maternal viral loads, but the study was insufficiently powered to enable a conclusion to be drawn as to whether this applies for viral loads &lt;50 copies/mL. Diverging mode of delivery patterns in Europe reflect uncertainties regarding the risk-benefit balance of elective CS for women on successful HAART.&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/20059573?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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

The clinical course was severe (requiring ICU admission) in only 1 patient, moderate (requiring hospital admission) in 38, and mild in the remaining 23 (37%), treated as outpatients. While none of the patients died of H1N1-related complications, two patients died of progressive cancer; in all of the remaining cases, symptoms resolved within 11 days. The clinical course was complicated by respiratory distress or bronchopneumonia in 10 cases. Oseltamivir was given to 82% of patients. Chemotherapy was temporarily withdrawn in 54% of cases for a median time of 21 days (range, 4-43 days).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;H1N1 infection in children with cancer was not reported as the cause of death in any case but resulted in reduced intensity of anti-cancer therapy.&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/20582951?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Cesaro, Simone</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ziino, Ottavio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanazzo, Giulio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Manicone, Rosaria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Livadiotti, Susanna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cellini, Monica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Frenos, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milano, Giuseppe M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cappelli, Barbara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Licciardello, Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Beretta, Chiara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aricò, Maurizio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Castagnola, Elio</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Infection Study Group of the Associazione Italiana Ematologia Oncologia Pediatrica (AIEOP)</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Multidrug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in children undergoing chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.</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><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%">Bacteremia</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, Multiple</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%">Immunocompromised Host</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%">Pseudomonas aeruginosa</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pseudomonas Infections</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retrospective Studies</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Young Adult</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 Sep</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">95</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1612-5</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one leading gram-negative organism associated with nosocomial infections. Bacteremia is life-threatening in the immunocompromised host. Increasing frequency of multi-drug-resistant (MDRPA) strains is concerning. We started a retrospective survey in the pediatric hematology oncology Italian network. Between 2000 and 2008, 127 patients with Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia were reported from 12 centers; 31.4% of isolates were MDRPA. Death within 30 days of a positive blood culture occurred in 19.6% (25/127) of total patients; in patients with MDRPA infection it occurred in 35.8% (14/39). In the multivariate analysis, only MDRPA had significant association with infection-related death. This is the largest series of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteremia cases from pediatric hematology oncology centers.

It may cause intestinal perforation or obstruction. It manifests itself mainly in the neonatal period and usually affects preterm infants. We describe one such case, which was first diagnosed as a spontaneous isolated intestinal perforation. Emergency laparotomy was performed and showed multiple perforations, with accompanying peritonitis and ascites. Pathologic examination showed partial or complete absence of the musculature, particularly of the inner circular layer, with fibrous tissue in the regions of missing muscle, and abnormal vasculature.

Geraniol (GOH), farnesol (FOH), geranylgeraniol (GGOH) and menthol (MOH), due to their isoprenoid structure, are supposed to enter the mevalonate pathway and to by-pass the biochemical block, reconstituting the pathway. Considering the already known side effects of aminobisphosphonates, and the lack of a specific treatment for MKD, we evaluated the impact of these natural isoprenoids compounds in a RAW cell lines chemically treated with the aminobisphosphonate alendronate, and in monocytes isolated from 2 patients affected by MKD. GOH, FOH, GGOH and MOH were all capable to diminish inflammatory marker levels induced by LPS. These natural isoprenoids could be proposed as novel therapeutic approach for the still orphan drug MKD, but also considered for the evaluation of possible inflammatory side effects of aminobisphosphonates.&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/20304105?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bramuzzo, Matteo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Davanzo, Riccardo</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Neonatal jaundice and breastfeeding reputation.</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%">Bottle Feeding</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Breast Feeding</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%">Jaundice, Neonatal</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lactation Disorders</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milk, Human</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Risk Factors</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 Nov</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">26</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">362</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><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/21047987?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cvorovic, Jovana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tramer, Federica</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Granzotto, Marilena</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Candussio, Luigi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decorti, Giuliana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Passamonti, Sabina</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oxidative stress-based cytotoxicity of delphinidin and cyanidin in colon cancer cells.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch Biochem Biophys</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arch.

Although the prognosis has improved after the introduction of newer anticancer drugs, the treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer still remains a challenge due to a high percentage of drug-resistant tumor forms. We aimed at testing whether anthocyanidins exerted cytotoxicity in primary (Caco-2) and metastatic (LoVo and LoVo/ADR) colorectal cancer cell lines. Both cyanidin and delphinidin, though neither pelargonidin nor malvidin, were cytotoxic in metastatic cells only. The cell line most sensitive to anthocyanidins was the drug-resistant LoVo/ADR. There, cellular ROS accumulation, inhibition of glutathione reductase, and depletion of glutathione could be observed. This suggests that anthocyanidins may be used as sensitizing agents in metastatic colorectal cancer 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/20494645?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paugh, Steven W</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stocco, Gabriele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Evans, William E</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pharmacogenomics in pediatric leukemia.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr Opin Pediatr</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Curr.

This is particularly relevant to cancer chemotherapy, when the risk of toxicity must be balanced against potential suboptimal (low) systemic exposure that can be less effective in patients with higher rates of drug clearance. The purpose of this review is to discuss genetic factors that lead to interpatient differences in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of these medications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RECENT FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;Genome-wide agonistic studies of pediatric patient populations are revealing genome variations that may affect susceptibility to specific diseases and that influence the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of medications. Several genetic factors with relatively small effect may be combined in the determination of a pharmacogenomic phenotype and considering these polygenic models may be mandatory in order to predict the related drug response phenotypes. These findings have potential to yield new insights into disease pathogenesis, and lead to molecular diagnostics that can be used to optimize the treatment of childhood cancers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;SUMMARY: &lt;/b&gt;Advances in genome technology, and their comprehensive and systematic deployment to elucidate the genomic basis of interpatient differences in drug response and disease risk, hold great promise to ultimately enhance the efficacy and reduce the toxicity of drug therapy in children.&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/20861736?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vilca, Iris</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Munitis, Pablo Garcia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pistorio, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ravelli, Angelo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Buoncompagni, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bica, Blanca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campos, Lucia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Häfner, Renate</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hofer, Michael</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ozen, Seza</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Huemer, Christian</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bae, Sang Cheol</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sztajnbok, Flavio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Arguedas, Olga</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foeldvari, Ivan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Huppertz, Hans Iko</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gamir, María Luz</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Magnusson, Bo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dressler, Frank</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Uziel, Yosef</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">van Rossum, Marion A J</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hollingworth, Peter</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cawkwell, Gail</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ruperto, Nicolino</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organisation (PRINTO)</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Predictors of poor response to methotrexate in polyarticular-course juvenile idiopathic arthritis: analysis of the PRINTO methotrexate trial.</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.

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%">Lapolla, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bonomo, M</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dalfrà, M G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Parretti, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mannino, D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mello, G</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Di Cianni, G</style></author></authors><translated-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GISOGD</style></author></translated-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prepregnancy BMI influences maternal and fetal outcomes in women with isolated gestational hyperglycaemia: a multicentre study.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diabetes Metab</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diabetes Metab.</style></alt-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Adult</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blood Glucose</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Body Mass Index</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%">Glucose Tolerance Test</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hyperglycemia</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Italy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Models, Statistical</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 Complications</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy Outcome</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prognosis</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%">Time Factors</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 Sep</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">36</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">265-70</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;This multicentre study analyzed the maternal and fetal outcomes of women who had one elevated 3-h oral glucose tolerance test (isolated gestational hyperglycaemia [IGH]).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODS: &lt;/b&gt;From 1999 to 2003, data were collected for 606 IGH women from 31 Italian obstetric or diabetic centres, including time and mode of delivery, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, eclampsia, congenital malformations, and neonatal mortality and morbidity, to compare them with the general pregnant Italian population. A prognostic model for the outcome of pregnancy was constructed, and the concurrence of certain specified conditions was considered a positive outcome, whereas pregnancies that failed to meet one or more of the stated conditions were classified as &quot;complicated&quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;Macrosomia was significantly more frequent in women with IGH than in the normal pregnant population (10.7 vs 7.4%, respectively; P=0.003). Stillbirth and neonatal mortality rates did not differ from those in normal pregnancies, while a slight rise in the frequency of major malformations was not statistically significant (1.48 vs 0.89%, respectively; P&lt;0.11). Multivariate logistic analyses confirmed that the prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) was an independent predictor of a complicated pregnancy. As for fetal growth, multivariate logistic analyses according to BMI showed that being overweight or obese were strong predictors of macrosomia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;These findings in a large cohort of Italian women with IGH confirm the detrimental effect of even minimally altered glucose tolerance on fetal outcome. Also, prepregnancy obesity plays an important role in raising the risk of adverse perinatal outcomes in such 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/20598607?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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%">Gafurov, Ilkhom</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bomestar, Tamara</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bacci, Marianna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kumar, Sanjiv</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Popovic, Dragoslav</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%">Progress towards the achievement of MDG4 in the Commonwealth of Independent States: uncertain data, clear priorities.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Res Policy Syst</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Health Res Policy Syst</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">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;Data on under five mortality in the twelve countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States show important fluctuations over time due to variations in quality of data, definitions of neonatal deaths and methods of mortality estimation. Despite the uncertainties regarding mortality trends, the analysis of health and social information from different sources offers clues to identify priority areas and key strategic directions for accelerating the achievement of the 4th Millennium Development Goal. Neonatal deaths represent from 40% to over 50% of under five deaths in all these countries. Maternal mortality was above 50 per 100,000 in 2005, despite the good coverage with antenatal care and births assisted by skilled birth attendants. The scanty information on quality of perinatal care indicates widespread substandard care at all levels. Stunting in children under five is above 10% in ten out of twelve countries and coexists with emerging overweight. Exclusivity and duration of breastfeeding fall short of what is recommended. There are important inequalities in child and maternal mortality, malnutrition and access and use of health services within countries. Taken as a whole, the available information clearly indicates that priority should be given to improvement of the health of women in reproductive age and of the quality of perinatal care, including the establishment of reliable data collection systems. To achieve this, action will need to focus on strengthening the capacity of the health system to improve the technical content of service provision, and on improving access and appropriate use of services by the most disadvantaged groups. The involvement of other sectors will be necessary to improve reproductive health and nutrition at community level and to tackle inequity. Comparisons between countries with similar socioeconomic background but different health policies seem to indicate that gradual progression towards universal coverage with essential health care through a national health insurance system is associated with larger reduction of child mortality than troubled transition towards a privatized and unregulated health system.&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/20205914?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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.

These patients were born from monozygotic twin sisters and unrelated fathers, suggesting an X-linked trait. Fibroblasts from both showed reduction of respiratory chain (RC) cIII and cIV, but not of cI activities. We found a disease-segregating mutation in the X-linked AIFM1 gene, encoding the Apoptosis-Inducing Factor (AIF) mitochondrion-associated 1 precursor that deletes arginine 201 (R201 del). Under normal conditions, mature AIF is a FAD-dependent NADH oxidase of unknown function and is targeted to the mitochondrial intermembrane space (this form is called AIF(mit)). Upon apoptogenic stimuli, a soluble form (AIF(sol)) is released by proteolytic cleavage and migrates to the nucleus, where it induces &quot;parthanatos,&quot; i.e., caspase-independent fragmentation of chromosomal DNA. In vitro, the AIF(R201 del) mutation decreases stability of both AIF(mit) and AIF(sol) and increases the AIF(sol) DNA binding affinity, a prerequisite for nuclear apoptosis. In AIF(R201 del) fibroblasts, staurosporine-induced parthanatos was markedly increased, whereas re-expression of AIF(wt) induced recovery of RC activities. Numerous TUNEL-positive, caspase 3-negative nuclei were visualized in patient #1's muscle, again indicating markedly increased parthanatos in the AIF(R201 del) critical tissues. We conclude that AIF(R201 del) is an unstable mutant variant associated with increased parthanatos-linked cell death. Our data suggest a role for AIF in RC integrity and mtDNA maintenance, at least in some tissues. Interestingly, riboflavin supplementation was associated with prolonged improvement of patient #1's neurological conditions, as well as correction of RC defects in mutant fibroblasts, suggesting that stabilization of the FAD binding in AIF(mit) is beneficial.&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/20362274?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maschio, Massimo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cozzi, Giorgio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sanabor, Daniela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zennaro, Floriana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gloria, Pelizzo</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%">Splenomegaly as presentation of a wandering spleen.</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.

Although the most striking feature of these antimicrobial peptides is their molecular diversity, they share some common features, such as a relatively low molecular weight, and the presence of a variable number of cysteines residues that contribute to stabilize conserved scaffolds through disulphide bond formation, and can be assigned to different structural classes. Peptides from different classes in some cases act synergistically against pathogens when produced by the same tissue, and contribute to extending defence to a wider range of microbes. In this review we briefly describe the structure of some of the main plant antimicrobial peptide classes: thionins, defensins, lipid transfer proteins, cyclotides and snakins, and how they are reported to contribute to the plant protection. In many cases these antimicrobial peptides show a wider activity spectrum than that suggested by their name, exerting an action also against predatory insects and revealing useful antiviral activities. This extends their interest from defense of important food crops also to the design of novel anti-infective compounds for both pharmaceutical and agricultural applications.&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/20088769?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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 Leo, Luigina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marcuzzi, Annalisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Decorti, Giuliana</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pontillo, Alessandra</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Targeting farnesyl-transferase as a novel therapeutic strategy for mevalonate kinase deficiency: in vitro and in vivo approaches.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pharmacol Res</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pharmacol.

The shortage of isoprenoids compounds and in particular of geranylgeranylpyrophosphate (GGPP) was recently associated to the MKD characteristic inflammatory attacks. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the normalization of the mevalonate pathway intermediates levels and in particular of GGPP, through the specific inhibition of farnesyl-transferase (FT) with Manumycin A could ameliorate the inflammatory phenotype of MKD patients. The effect of Manumycin A was first evaluated in MKD mouse and cellular models, chemically obtained using the aminobisphosphonate alendronate (ALD), and then in monocytes isolated from 2 MKD patients. Our findings were compared to those obtained by using natural exogenous isoprenoids (NEIs). Manumycin A was able to significantly reduce the inflammatory marker serum amyloid A in ALD-treated Balb/c mice, as well as IL-1 beta secretion in ALD-monocytes and in MKD patients. These results clearly showed that, through the inhibition of FT, an increased number of mevalonate pathway intermediates could be redirected towards the synthesis of GGPP diminishing the inflammatory response. The importance in limiting the shortage of GGPP was emphasized by the anti-inflammatory effect of NEIs that, due to their biochemical structure, can enter the MKD pathway. In conclusion, manumycin A, as well as NEIs, showed anti-inflammatory effect in MKD models and especially in MKD-monocytes, suggesting novel approaches in the treatment of MKD, an orphan disease without any efficacious treatment currently available.&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/20206266?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Freudenberg, Folke</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wintergerst, Uwe</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Roesen-Wolff, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Albert, Michael H</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Prell, Christine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Strahm, Brigitte</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Koletzko, Sibylle</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ehl, Stephan</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Roos, Dirk</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%">Belohradsky, Bernd H</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Seger, Reinhard</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Roesler, Joachim</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Güngör, Tayfun</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Therapeutic strategy in p47-phox deficient chronic granulomatous disease presenting as inflammatory bowel disease.</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.

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%">Nazzi, F</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martinelli, E</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Del Fabbro, S</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bernardinelli, I</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Milani, N</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Iob, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pischiutti, P</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Campello, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Agaro, P</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ticks and Lyme borreliosis in an alpine area in northeast Italy.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Med Vet Entomol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Med.

All ticks collected were Ixodes ricinus L. (Parasitiformes: Ixodidae). In general, most nymphs and adult ticks were collected from April to July. Tick density was highly variable among sites; however, two areas with different infestation levels were recognized. Prevalences of B. burgdorferi s.l. in nymphal stages were rather variable between sites; overall the prevalence of infected nymphs in the whole area was slightly higher than 20%. The prevalence of B. burgdorferi s.l. in nymphs does not seem to be correlated with nymph density. The correlation between the incidence of Lyme borreliosis (reported human cases/1000 inhabitants/year) and Borrelia prevalence in nymphs was not significant, although a significant correlation was found between borreliosis incidence and nymph density.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue><custom1><style face="normal" font="default"

the infant is cared for skin-to-skin vertically between the mother's breasts and below her clothes, 24 h/day, with father/substitute(s) participating as KMC providers. Intermittent KMC (for short periods once or a few times per day, for a variable number of days) is commonly employed in high-tech neonatal intensive care units. These two modalities should be regarded as a progressive adaptation of the mother-infant dyad, ideally towards continuous KMC, starting gradually and progressively with intermittent KMC. The other components in KMC are exclusive breastfeeding (ideally) and early discharge in kangaroo position with strict follow-up. Current evidence allows the following general statements about KMC in affluent and low-income settings: KMC enhances bonding and attachment; reduces maternal postpartum depression symptoms; enhances infant physiologic stability and reduces pain, increases parental sensitivity to infant cues; contributes to the establishment and longer duration of breastfeeding and has positive effects on infant development and infant/parent interaction. Therefore, intrapartum and postnatal care in all types of settings should adhere to a paradigm of nonseparation of infants and their mothers/families. Preterm/low-birth-weight infants should be regarded as extero-gestational foetuses needing skin-to-skin contact to promote maturation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSION: &lt;/b&gt;Kangaroo Mother Care should begin as soon as possible after birth, be applied as continuous skin-to-skin contact to the extent that this is possible and appropriate and continue for as long as appropriate.&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/20219044?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app 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.

Diabetes was induced by five consecutive daily injections of low-concentration (50 mg/kg) streptozotocin (STZ) in C57 black mice (n = 24). A group of these mice (n = 12) was co-injected with recombinant TRAIL (20 microg/day) for 5 days, and the diabetic status (glycemia and body weight) was followed over time. After 6 weeks, circulating levels of insulin, TNF-alpha, and osteoprotegerin (OPG) were measured, and animals were killed to perform the histological analysis of the pancreas.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;RESULTS: &lt;/b&gt;The in vitro exposure of both PBMCs and human islets to recombinant TRAIL significantly upregulated the expression of SOCS1. With respect to STZ-treated animals, mice co-injected with STZ+TRAIL were characterized by 1) lower levels of hyperglycemia, 2) higher levels of body weight and insulinemia, 3) a partial preservation of pancreatic islets with normal morphology, and 4) a lower expression of both systemic (TNF-alpha and OPG) and pancreatic (vascular cell adhesion molecule [VCAM]-1) inflammatory markers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS: &lt;/b&gt;Overall, these data demonstrate that the administration of recombinant TRAIL ameliorates the severity of STZ-induced type 1 diabetes, and this effect was accompanied by the upregulation of SOCS1 expression.&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/20185810?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabretto, Antonella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kutsche, Kerstin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Harmsen, May-Britt</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Demarini, Sergio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gasparini, Paolo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fertz, Maria Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zenker, Martin</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Two cases of Noonan syndrome with severe respiratory and gastroenteral involvement and the SOS1 mutation F623I.</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, Preschool</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Genes, ras</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Germ-Line Mutation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Heterozygote</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%">Male</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mutation, Missense</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Noonan Syndrome</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phenotype</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SOS1 Protein</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 Sep-Oct</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">53</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">322-4</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Noonan syndrome (NS) is an autosomal dominant, inherited disorder characterized by facial dysmorphism, congenital heart defects, and reduced postnatal growth. Dysregulated RAS-MAPK signalling is the common molecular basis for NS, a genetically heterogeneous disease. Germline mutations in genes encoding small GTPases of the RAS family (KRAS and NRAS), modulators of RAS function (PTPN11, SOS1 and SHOC2) or downstream signal transducers (RAF1) are causative for NS. SOS1 is the second major gene for NS after PTPN11. Compared to patients with mutations in other genes, SOS1 mutation-positive individuals in general tend to have a more favorable outcome, with less short stature and cognitive impairment. We describe two unrelated patients with NS carrying the same heterozygous SOS1 missense mutation (c.1867T &gt; A/p.F623I). The phenotype of both patients is remarkable as they show uncommon clinical features such as pulmonary lymphangiectasis, congenital pleural effusions, severe feeding problems, and laryngomalacia. These findings may be related to the specific mutation present in our two patients, or be part of the SOS1 phenotype. Detailed clinical assessment of large cohorts of patients with NS and SOS1 mutation is required to clarify this initial observation.&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/20673819?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tommasini, Alberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pirrone, Angela</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Palla, Gabriella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Taddio, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Martelossi, Stefano</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Crovella, Sergio</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%">The universe of immune deficiencies in Crohn's disease: a new viewpoint for an old disease?</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scand J Gastroenterol</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scand.

Recently, genome wide linkage studies allowed to identify the association of several loci with the increased risk of CD, although it is still unclear how they interact with environmental factors in causing the disease. The fact that many CD-risk-related genes are involved in the function of phagocytes seems in agreement with the well known role of these cells in CD histopathology. Functional defects in cytokine production or in clearance of bacteria in CD patients have recently been reported. Growing evidence that CD could arise from primary phagocyte immunodeficiency is also coming from the study of cases with early onset in infancy. We review such evidences starting from selected cases and discuss the clinical implications of these findings.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default"

inflammatory bowel disease and autoimmune hepatitis. Azathioprine treatment is a long-term therapy and therefore it is at risk for non-adherence, which is considered an important determinant of treatment inefficacy. Measurement of 6-thioguanine and 6-methylmercaptopurine nucleotides has been recently suggested as a screener for non-adherence detection. We describe four young patients in which non-adherence to azathioprine therapy was detected only through the measurement of drug metabolite concentrations, and the criterion for non-adherence was undetectable metabolite levels. After the identification of non-adherence, patients and their families were approached and the importance of a correct drug administration was thoroughly enlightened and discussed; this allowed obtaining a full remission in all subjects. Our observations support the use of undetectable metabolite levels as indicators of non-adherence to therapy in azathioprine treated patients. The additional level of medical supervision given by this assay allows getting a better adherence to medical treatment, which results in an improvement in the response to therapy; these benefits may justify the costs associated with the assay.&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/21122567?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bava, Michele</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bradashia, Fulvio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rovere, Francesca</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maestro, Alessandra</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vecchi Brumatti, Liz</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Accardo, Agostino</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Paparazzo, Rossella</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zanon, Davide</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A web-based system for total parenteral nutrition prescription in a pediatric hospital - biomed 2010.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biomed Sci Instrum</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biomed Sci Instrum</style></alt-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">46</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">351-6</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;otal Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) is defined as feeding a patient by infusing nutrients intravenously, bypassing the usual process of eating and digestion. 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><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Castiello, Umberto</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Becchio, Cristina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zoia, Stefania</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Nelini, Cristian</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sartori, Luisa</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Blason, Laura</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D'Ottavio, Giuseppina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bulgheroni, Maria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gallese, Vittorio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wired to be social: the ontogeny of human interaction.</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%">Female</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fetus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Humans</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pregnancy</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Social Behavior</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ultrasonography, Prenatal</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</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">e13199</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;Newborns come into the world wired to socially interact. Is a propensity to socially oriented action already present before birth? Twin pregnancies provide a unique opportunity to investigate the social pre-wiring hypothesis. Although various types of inter-twins contact have been demonstrated starting from the 11(th) week of gestation, no study has so far investigated the critical question whether intra-pair contact is the result of motor planning rather then the accidental outcome of spatial proximity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: &lt;/b&gt;Kinematic profiles of movements in five pairs of twin foetuses were studied by using four-dimensional ultrasonography during two separate recording sessions carried out at the 14(th) and 18(th) week of gestation. We demonstrate that by the 14th week of gestation twin foetuses do not only display movements directed towards the uterine wall and self-directed movements, but also movements specifically aimed at the co-twin, the proportion of which increases between the 14(th) and 18(th) gestational week. Kinematic analysis revealed that movement duration was longer and deceleration time was prolonged for other-directed movements compared to movements directed towards the uterine wall. Similar kinematic profiles were observed for movements directed towards the co-twin and self-directed movements aimed at the eye-region, i.e. the most delicate region of the body.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: &lt;/b&gt;We conclude that performance of movements towards the co-twin is not accidental: already starting from the 14th week of gestation twin foetuses execute movements specifically aimed at the co-twin.&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/20949058?dopt=Abstract</style></custom1></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Hendrickson, W A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ward, K B</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Atomic models for the polypeptide backbones of myohemerythrin and hemerythrin.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biochem Biophys Res Commun</style></secondary-title><alt-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biochem.
