Abstract
AIM The main purpose of our project was to evaluate the prevalence of lung cancer in high risk, asymptomatic individuals in addition to quantifying the rate of surgically resectable tumors, and evaluating the role of lung cancer with low dose computed tomography (LDCT) as a tool for lung cancer screening. METHODS Between June 2011 and March 2014, 1500 volunteers at high risk for lung cancer were enrolled in our study and underwent LDCT in our institution. The subsequent diagnostic and therapeutic steps were planned in relation to the results emerging from LDCT. To evaluate speed and type of growth, solid nodules ≤4 mm were reassessed with annual LDCT, those >4-6 mm or >6-8 mm were reassessed with LDCT in 6 or 3 months while nodules suspicious for malignancy were investigated with PET-CT or biopsy according to NCCN guidelines. RESULTS Non-calcified nodules were detected in 525 subjects (35% of population): among these 42% had a diameter ≤4 mm, 43% had a diameter >5 mm but <10 mm, 3% appeared as "ground glass" lesions, and 63 (12% of detected nodules) had malignant characteristics (irregular margins, retraction of the surrounding parenchyma, diameter >10 mm). Among the 63 patients who underwent PET-CT or biopsy, 25 cases resulted positive for lung cancer (1.7% of population). These patients underwent surgical treatment with histological detection of tumors in stages IA, IB or IIB. CONCLUSION Our study confirmed the emerging data on the use of LDCT as a screening tool for lung neoplasm in individuals at risk. Due to the LDCT low rate of specificity complementary biomarkers are required to properly define patients at risk and to reduce the number of further radiological examinations.

Abstract
AIM Rhythmic gymnasts are often believed to be a population at risk of malnutrition because of their tendency to keep a low weight and a lean appearance for better athletic performance, and because they start intensive training at a very young age. The purpose of this study was to evaluate in adolescent elite gymnasts the effects of physical activity on body composition and cardiac morphology and function. METHODS Sixteen national level rhythmic gymnasts and 16 control adolescent female underwent anthropometric measurements, bioelectric impedance and echocardiography to assess body composition and cardiac morphology and function. RESULTS As compared to controls, gymnasts had lower body mass index (16.9±1.1 vs. 18.7±1.0, P<0.001), fatty mass (14.2±4.5 vs. 15.8±2.9 %, P<0.05) and greater fat-free mass (84.0±4.7 vs. 80.5±5.0 %, P<0.05), left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (4.7±0.4 vs. 4.4±0.3 cm) and left ventricular mass, as absolute (132.8±21.2 vs. 112.5±22.8 g, P<0.01) and indexed (44.5±9.3 vs. 36.1±8.2 g/m2.7, P<0.01). Left ventricular mass was directly related to fat-free mass as absolute (r=0.37, P<0.05) and indexed (r=0.43, P<0.02). CONCLUSION Body composition analysis showed a lower percentage of body fat in the gymnasts, together with a higher percentage of fat-free mass. Echocardiographic findings indicate that elite rhythmic gymnastics present left ventricular remodeling as training-induced cardiac adaptation. Intensive training, dietary attitude and evident leanness of rhythmic gymnasts are not associated with cardiac abnormalities, as it is the case of pathological leanness.

Abstract
The sarcoglycan complex consists of a group of single-pass transmembrane glycoproteins that are essential to maintain the integrity of muscle membranes. Any mutation in each sarcoglycan gene causes a series of recessive autosomal dystrophin-positive muscular dystrophies. Negative fibres for sarcoglycans have never been found in healthy humans and animals. In this study, we have investigated whether the social ranking has an influence on the expression of sarcoglycans in the skeletal muscles of healthy baboons. Biopsies of masseter and sternocleidomastoid muscles were processed for confocal immunohistochemical detection of sarcoglycans. Our findings showed that baboons from different social rankings exhibited different sarcoglycan expression profiles. While in dominant baboons almost all muscles were stained for sarcoglycans, only 55% of muscle fibres showed a significant staining. This different expression pattern is likely to be due to the living conditions of these primates. Sarcoglycans which play a key role in muscle activity by controlling contractile forces may influence the phenotype of muscle fibres, thus determining an adaptation to functional conditions. We hypothesize that this intraspecies variation reflects an epigenetic modification of the muscular protein network that allows baboons to adapt progressively to a different social status.

Abstract
In-situ scanning small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments have been performed to probe the drying of a single suspended droplet of silica colloids. It has been demonstrated that the formation of a nanoparticle shell during drying can be confirmed just by measuring the temporal evolution of the spatial transmission profile across the drying droplet. The shrinkage of the droplet stops once the shell is formed. The temporal dependence of the shell thickness and droplet radius has been estimated by quantitative analysis of the functionality of the transmission profiles. It is revealed that the position of the correlation peak originating from interactions between silica nanoparticles evolves linearly during the initial stage of drying and exhibits sigmoidal growth behavior in later stages. The interaction between colloidal particles in different drying stages has been investigated. We provide experimental confirmation of the transition from repulsive interaction to a capillary-driven short-range attraction during shell formation. The present work demonstrates that in-situ scanning SAXS on a suspended droplet is an invaluable technique for monitoring the dynamic self-organization of colloids as it probes the drying of complex fluids without the interference of a substrate.

Abstract
Titania nanoparticles are produced by laser ablation in liquid in order to initiate functionalization of titania with the polymer for the active layer. By combining these titania nanoparticles and water-soluble poly[3-(potassium-6-hexanoate)thiophene-2,5-diyl] (P3P6T) hybrid solar cells are realized.

Abstract
Struma ovarii is an uncommon type of ovarian tumor derived by germinal cells, characterized by the predominance of thyroid tissue (> 50%); 90-95% of these formations are benign and mainly affect the left ovary, while in 6% of the cases struma ovarii is bilateral. The malignant transformation is a rare condition that often occurs after 50 years. In most instances, diagnosis of malignant struma ovarii is made postoperatively during histological analysis. This tumor appears to derive by one germinal cell through loss of heterozygosity of the androgen receptor gene and of the X chromosome. Clinical symptoms comprise abdominopelvic mass, lower abdominal pain, abnormal vaginal bleeding, and ascites (the occurrence of this condition has been observed in one-third of the cases). The patients with struma ovarii generally do not manifest symptoms related to thyroid hyperfunction, reported only in 8% of the cases, and due to hyperstimulation of the thyroid by auto-antibodies. Thyroid tissue of the struma ovarii, often embedded in a teratoma, may be papillary, follicular or with mixed pattern and it can include elements of mucinous cystoadenomas, Brenner's tumor or carcinoid or melanomas cells. Here the authors report their experience with an unusual case of Hashimoto thyroiditis onset after laparoscopic removal of struma ovarii.

Abstract
We describe the new experimental possibilities of the micro- and nanofocus X-ray scattering beamline P03 of the synchrotron source PETRA III at DESY, Hamburg (Germany), which arise from experiments with smaller beam sizes in the micrometer range. This beamline has been upgraded recently to perform new kinds of experiments. The use of an intermediate focus allows for reducing the beam size of microfocused hard X-rays while preserving a large working distance between the focusing elements and the focus position. For the first time, this well-known methodology has been employed to grazing incidence small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS/GIWAXS). As examples, we highlight the applications to in situ studies using microfluidic devices in GISAXS geometry as well as the investigation of the crystallinity of thin films in GIWAXS geometry.

Abstract
Colloidal particles in a tiny drying droplet are forced to assemble due to attractive capillary forces. Jamming of the particles throughout the droplet remains either isotropic or anisotropic depending upon the drying kinetics and the physicochemical environment. In this work, we explore the dynamical evolution of such an assembly process across a single evaporative droplet by in situ scanning small-angle scattering using a micro-focused X-ray beam at the synchrotron source. A methodology has been elucidated to differentiate quantitatively between the isotropic and the anisotropic jamming process. Switching of jamming behaviour depending on the initial particle volume fraction in the droplet has been demonstrated. Three distinct stages of assembly, associated with droplet shrinkage, have been revealed even during isotropic jamming. This is in contrast to the drying of a pure liquid droplet under diffusion limited evaporation. It has been established that such in situ scattering measurements can also be used to estimate the temporal evolutions of the viscosity of a drying suspension as well as the diffusivity of nanoparticles in a droplet.

Abstract
We present molecular dynamics simulations of static friction for a monolayer of Xe deposited on a thick slab of Cu for two different geometries. The interaction potential between Xe and Cu has been derived from DFT calculations. The first geometry is the commensurate adsorption geometry (√3 × √3 suggested by LEED, corresponding to a coverage 1/3, where all Xe atoms are on top positions. The second one corresponds to a coverage 0.36 and is characterized by a large surface unit cell, containing 9 Xe atoms in different disordered positions. This large unit cell mimics an incommensurate case. Our analysis points out the effect of the order/disorder in tribological properties of a realistic three-dimensional system.

Abstract
Molars and premolars are the most vulnerable teeth to caries attack. The high susceptibility of these teeth to caries is directly related to morphology of their occlusal surface that prevents both chemical cleaning by saliva and mechanical cleaning by toothbrush. Pit and fissures are therefore the most prone areas to caries and need special protection to prevent carious lesions. Fluoride is the only chemical element used for caries prevention. In fact, it favors the remineralisation of initial lesions, prevents the production of polysaccharides essential for the development and sustainment of bacterial plaque, and the absorption of salivary glycoprotein. Fluoride also reinforces enamel, making it less susceptible to caries. Two methods of fluoroprophylaxis have been proposed: the first is the systemic fluoroprophylaxis which is particularly efficient in preventing interproximal caries, but it does not form an adequate protective barrier on the occlusal surfaces; the other is the topical application of a fluoride gel to the tooth surface, although this second method does not significantly reduce the incidence of caries. The efficacy of the sealing procedures depends on the correct application technique. Observing an operative protocol will ensure a longer lasting retention of the sealant on the occlusal surface and subsequently prolongs the protection against caries.

Abstract
Molecular dynamics simulations of the sliding friction between two thick solid slabs are performed. The upper body is formed of light N(2) particles and the substrate of heavy Pb atoms. Among the various mechanisms that are responsible for the friction, we consider the phonon-phonon interaction between the two blocks. To provide evidence of the phonon interaction, we compare two different systems. For the first we consider the substrate as formed of atoms fixed in the equilibrium (111) positions. In the second system the Pb atoms can be displaced from the ideal positions, under their mutual interactions. A comparison with recently obtained experimental data will be discussed.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to present authors' two-year clinical experience with Yttrium-stabilized zirconium dioxide implants placed in native bone or regenerated bone. METHODS Yttrium-stabilized zirconium dioxide implants made of brezirkon (whiteSKY, Bredent medical, Senden, Germany) were used for the treatment of edentulous ridge rehabilitation in the Dental Clinic of the University of Milan (Head of the Department, Prof. F. Santoro). Zirconium dioxide is a highly resistant ceramic material obtained by cleaning zirconium dioxide and zirconium silicate. The implant used in the clinical study featured a conical one piece implant with double cylindrical thread with a sandblasted rough surface. The prosthetic section was smooth. RESULTS Forty-six implants have been inserted in 18 patients from January 2007 to January 2009, the follow-up period was comprised between 6 and 24 months. The overall success rate was 89%; the success rate in native bone was 97% and 74% in augmented bone. It can be stated that the success rate is comparable to titanium fixtures. CONCLUSION It would be logical to use a ceramic material for the esthetic regions; zirconium dioxide is particularly suitable since it features tissue friendliness and resistance comparable to titanium. The good mechanical properties, possibility of easy fabrication of the prosthetic restoration and the good integration into the tissue and the esthetics provide perfect preconditions for yttrium-stabilized zirconium dioxide to become the most commonly used material in implant dentistry.

Abstract
Several green orchids of the Neottieae tribe acquire organic carbon both from their mycorrhizal fungi and from photosynthesis. This strategy may represent an intermediate evolutionary step towards mycoheterotrophy of some non-photosynthetic (albino) orchids. Mixed populations of green and albino individuals possibly represent a transient evolutionary stage offering opportunities to understand the evolution of mycoheterotrophy. In order to understand the emergence of albinos, we investigated patterns of spatial and genetic relationships among green and albino individuals in three mixed populations of Cephalanthera damasonium and one of C. longifolia using spatial repartition and Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers. Two of these populations were monitored over two consecutive flowering seasons. In spatial repartition analyses, albino individuals did not aggregate more than green individuals. Genetic analyses revealed that, in all sampled populations, albino individuals did not represent a unique lineage, and that albinos were often closer related to green individuals than to other albinos from the same population. Genetic and spatial comparison of genets from the 2-year monitoring revealed that: (i) albinos had lower survival than green individuals; (ii) accordingly, albinos detected in the first year did not correspond to the those sampled in the second year; and (iii) with one possible exception, all examined albinos did not belong to any green genet from the same and/or from the previous year, and vice versa. Our results support a scenario of repeated insurgence of the albino phenotypes within the populations, but unsuccessful transition between the two contrasting phenotypes. Future studies should try to unravel the genetic and ecological basis of the two phenotypes.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of subclinical hyperthyroidism (SHT) on cardiovascular autonomic function and ventricular repolarization. METHODS Thirty subjects (25 females; mean age 49.6 ± 9.8 years) with SHT, as judged by reduced TSH serum levels and normal free T4 and T3 serum levels, and 30 age and sex-matched control subjects underwent standard 12-lead ECG, and 24h ambulatory ECG monitoring. The dispersion of the QT interval, an index of inhomogeneity of repolarization, and the heart rate variability (HRV), a measure of cardiac autonomic modulation, were studied. RESULTS Patients with SHT showed higher QT dispersion (p<0.001) and lower HRV measures (0.01>p<0.001) than controls. In SHT patients, QT dispersion was inversely related to HRV (r=-0.47, p<0.01). CONCLUSION The results of the present study demonstrated that SHT is associated with a sympathovagal imbalance, characterized by increased sympathetic activity in the presence of diminished vagal tone, and with an increased inhomogeneity of ventricular recovery times. The assessment of HRV and QT dispersion in patients with SHT may represent a useful tool in monitoring the cardiovascular risk of this condition.
