Abstract
The Italian Group of Ultrastructural Pathology, GIPU, is a scientific organization committed to promote the art and science of Electron Microscopy (EM) in the pathology field in Italy, sharing its professional work with a public audience. The history of the GIPU goes back to 1990s when a founder group set up the Italian Group of Ultrastructural Diagnostic (GIDU) in Milan. The central focus of annual meetings was on EM, transmission and scanning one, about interesting cases in which it was instrumental in diagnosis. In the 1990s, ultrastructure was still the gold standard for cell/tissue morphology, biology, biochemistry, diagnostic pathology, and played an important role in tailored medicine. So, especially transmission EM, could play a critical role in the diagnosis of various diseases as in human as in animals. Best topics of the annual scientific meetings of the group were kidney, muscle, heart, and liver pathology, infertility, neuropathology, respiratory diseases, skin diseases, storage diseases, tumor pathology, infectious diseases, parasitology, veterinary pathology and more. Nowadays, EM is a method whose importance for diagnosis and pathology is well established: it is still essential in several pathologies, helpful in others, and welcome implemented in eclectic research pathology. Omission of EM likely makes the studies suboptimal and wasteful. So, from 2007 the name of the group has been changed to the Italian Group of Ultrastructural Pathology (GIPU) to favor broader applications of EM also to pathology research field. During last decades, GIDU/GIPU has interconnected with international (Society for Ultrastructural Pathology) and european (European Society of Pathology and Joint Meeting with the European Electron Microscopy Working Group) scientific society, according its statute. By 1991, GIPU has had 40 members: membership in this Group is still open and welcome to all pathologists, PhD, electron microscopy technologists, pathology trainees, and researchers interested in pathology and electron microscopy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated with a particularly poor outcome after liver transplantation. In December 2014, sofosbuvir/ledipasvir (SOF/LDV) fixed-dose combination (FDC) was approved for HCV genotype 1 and 4 in Europe. In orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) recipients, the interferon-free treatment of HCV re-infection with novel direct-acting antivirals has been demonstrated to be safe and effective in clinical trials, but real-world data are missing. The aim of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of SOF/LDV FDC in OLT recipients in the real-life setting. METHODS All consecutive OLT patients started on SOF/LDV FDC for 12 or 24 weeks at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf and Medical School Hannover between October 2014 and August 2015 were retrospectively analyzed (n = 30). The primary efficacy endpoint was sustained virological response (SVR), i.e., absence of viremia 12 weeks after end of treatment (SVR 12). Liver function tests, creatinine, blood count, and HCV RNA (by polymerase chain reaction assay) were determined at each visit. RESULTS SVR was achieved in 29/30 patients (96.67%) treated with SOF/LDV ± ribavirin (RBV) for 12 (n = 4) or 24 weeks (n = 25). Twenty-five patients (86.2%) received RBV. However, in 15 of the 25 patients, RBV administration had to be discontinued because of severe anemia (57.7%). One RBV-treated patient died of a myocardial infarction during antiviral therapy; this event was most likely not directly related to SOF/LDV. Aside from RBV-associated anemia, no severe side effects of the antiviral regimen were observed. CONCLUSION Antiviral treatment with SOF/LDV is highly effective, safe, and well tolerated in OLT recipients. The addition of RBV often results in severe anemia, requiring dose reduction or discontinuation.

Abstract
Polyphenols are a class of natural compounds whose potential as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-angiogenesis has been reported in many pathological conditions. Red raspberry extract, rich in polyphenols, has been reported to exert anti-inflammatory effects and prevent cell proliferation in distinct animal models. However, the signaling pathways involved remain unknown. Herein, we used human microvascular endothelial cells (HMVECs) to determine the influence of red raspberry phenolic compound extract concentrations, ranging from 10 to 250 µg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/mL, on endothelium viability (MTS assay), proliferation (BrdU incorporation), migration (injury assay), and capillary-like structures formation (Matrigel assay). Protein expression in cell lysates was determined by Western blot analysis. We showed that red raspberry extracts reduced cell viability (GI50 = 87,64 ± 6,59 μg GAE/mL) and proliferation in a dose-dependent manner. A significant abrogation of cells ability to migrate to injured areas, even at low concentrations, was observed by injury assay. Cell assembly into capillary-like structures on Matrigel also decreased in a dose dependent-manner for higher extract concentrations, as well as the number of branching points per unit of area. Protein expression analysis showed a dose-dependent decrease in Phospho-VEGFR2 expression, implying abrogation of VEGF signaling activity. We also showed for the first time that red raspberry phenolic compounds induce the rearrangement of filamentous actin cytoskeleton, with an isotropy increase found for higher testing concentrations. Taken together, our findings corroborate the anti-angiogenic potential of red raspberry phenolic compounds and provide new insights into their mode of action upon endothelium. J. Cell.

Abstract
IntroductionFertility and fecundity are usually considered signs of social and emotional well-being. Bipolar disorder (BD) is a prevalent psychiatric disease that influences the individual's life style and behaviours. Some studies have addressed the issue of fecundity among women with bipolar disorder but few have focused on determining the differences between disease subtypes, which is expected, taking into account the studied differences in demographic measures.ObjectivesTo examine the fecundity of a population of women with bipolar disorder.AimThe aim of this study is to compare the fecundity among women diagnosed with subtypes I to IV of BD, according to Akiskal's bipolar spectrum disorder classification.MethodsA total of 108 female outpatients were divided into four groups. We analyzed number of offspring and demographic features between patients with different subtypes of BD using multivariate analyses.ResultsOur results showed a significantly higher average number of children for BD IV patients when compared with BD I patients. Although not reaching statistical significance, BD I patients had less offspring than BD II and BD III patients. BD I patients had lower marriage rates compared to the other groups.ConclusionsOur results suggest that the subtype of bipolar disorder influences fecundity and behaviours, as is expressed by the lower number of marriages seen in BD I patients. We found that fecundity is significantly impaired among BD I patients, which may imply that female with more severe disorders are less likely to become parents. Fecundity is higher among BD IV patients, which makes a way to speculate about the adaptive role of hyperthimic temperamental traits.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract
Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM), an autoimmune idiopathic myositis, is characterized by rash and proximal muscle weakness. Immunohistopathology typically shows perivascular inflammatory infiltrate with predominance of CD4+ T lymphocytes, perifascicular atrophy, and upregulation of major histocompatibility complex class I. JDM has been attributed to a humoral-driven muscle microangiopathy probably implicating the type I interferon pathway. Tubulo-reticular inclusions present in endothelial cell of muscle are biomarkers of interferon exposure, and so may be an indirect data of this myopathy especially in the absence of rash and inflammatory infiltrate. We report on three patients in which electron microscopy solves the differential diagnosis among infantile myositis showing peculiar inclusions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Allograft nephrectomy (AN) is associated with a high number of surgical complications. Some authors advocate that early nephrectomy (<1 year) is associated with fewer complications. Intracapsular (ICAN) and extracapsular AN (ECAN) might have a different impact on allosensitization and surgical outcomes. Our goal was to compare surgical outcomes between early and late AN in our institution and to compare ICAN and ECAN in terms of surgical outcomes and panel reactive antibodies (PRA) variation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between January 2000 and October 2012, we performed 104 AN at our institution (32 early and 72 late). Comparisons between early and late AN, and, within the latter, between the 2 different techniques were sought. Statistical analysis was performed for sample description, group comparison and %PRA variation. RESULTS Among the 104 patients with a mean age of 47.9 ± 14.2 years, 54 were men. Age, gender, body mass index, and number of previous transplants were similar between early and late AN and between ICAN and ECAN patients. Late AN was associated with less blood loss (293.4 ± 229.0 vs 414.3 ± 349.5 mL; P = .03), shorter hospital stay (12.8 ± 14.5 vs 26.8 ± 26.5; P < .05), and fewer complications (22.2% vs 59.3%; P < .05). The chance of being relisted for transplantation was similar (50.0% in early vs 59.7% in late AN; P = .7). When comparing ICAN and ECAN, there was no difference in surgical outcomes. The %PRA variation between the 2 techniques was comparable (-1.2 ± 10.6 ICAN vs -0.5 ± 15.9 ECAN; P = .8), as was the chance of being relisted for transplantation (60.5% ICAN vs 58.6% ECAN; P = .8). CONCLUSIONS Early AN was associated with a greater number of surgical complications. Nevertheless, the number of AN patients returning to the active waiting list was similar between early and late AN groups. ICAN and ECAN had similar surgical and postoperative outcomes, although a bias may be present because some conversions from ECAN to ICAN occurred owing to technical issues. As in other studies, ICAN did not seem to affect allosensitization or jeopardize the chance of being relisted for transplant when compared with ECAN.

Abstract
PurposeTo evaluate the safety/tolerability and efficacy of eslicarbazepine acetate (ESL) as adjunctive therapy in elderly patients with partial-onset seizures (POS).MethodPhase III, multicentre, open-label, non-controlled study in patients aged ≥65 years with ≥2 POS during an 8-week baseline and treated with 1–2 antiepileptic drugs. Following baseline, patients entered a 26-week maintenance period. ESL was initiated at 400 mg once-daily and adjusted (400–1200 mg/day) based on individual response. Safety/tolerability evaluations included treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), vital signs, 12-lead electrocardiogram and physical/neurological examinations. Efficacy evaluations included change in standardised seizure frequency (SSF; seizure frequency/4 weeks).ResultsOf the 72 patients included, 47 (65.3%) experienced 152 TEAEs; most commonly, dizziness (12.5%), somnolence (9.7%), fatigue (8.3%), convulsion (8.3%) and hyponatraemia (8.3%). Three patients died of cardiac failure, glioblastoma multiforme and ischaemic stroke (relationship unlikely/not related). Overall, 16 (22.2%) patients discontinued due to TEAEs. Incidence of clinically significant findings was low for vital signs, electrocardiogram and physical/neurological examinations. SSF decreased from 2.9 at baseline to 1.2 during the maintenance period (median relative change: –54.1%).ConclusionOnce-daily ESL (400–1200 mg) as adjunctive therapy in elderly subjects with POS did not raise major safety concerns and was efficacious. Supported by Bial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Aβ-induced neuronal toxicity and memory loss is thought to be dependent on neuroinflammation, an important event in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Previously, we demonstrated that the blockage of the kinin B2 receptor (B2R) protects against the memory deficits induced by amyloid β (Aβ) peptide in mice. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of B2R on Aβ-induced neuroinflammation in mice and the beneficial effects of B2R blockage in synapses alterations. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH The selective kinin B2R antagonist HOE 140 (50 pmol/site) was given by intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) route to male Swiss mice 2 h prior the i.c.v. injection of Aβ(1-40) (400 pmol/site) peptide. Animals were sacrificed, at specific time points after Aβ(1-40) injection (6 h, 1 day or 8 days), and the brain was collected in order to perform immunohistochemical analysis. Different groups of animals were submitted to behavioral cognition tests on day 14 after Aβ(1-40) administration. KEY RESULTS In this study, we report that the pre-treatment with the selective kinin B2R antagonist HOE 140 significantly inhibited Aβ-induced neuroinflammation in mice. B2R antagonism reduced microglial activation and the levels of pro-inflammatory proteins, including COX-2, iNOS and nNOS. Notably, these phenomena were accompanied by an inhibition of MAPKs (JNK and p38) and transcription factors (c-Jun and p65/NF-κB) activation. Finally, the anti-inflammatory effects of B2R antagonism provided significant protection against Aβ(1-40)-induced synaptic loss and cognitive impairment in mice. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Collectively, these results suggest that B2R activation may play a critical role in Aβ-induced neuroinflammation, one of the most important contributors to AD progression, and its blockage can provide synapses protection.

CHEMOSPHERE 2014; 112:177-184.

Abstract
Understanding the inherent toxicity of water-soluble synthetic polyelectrolytes is critical for adequate risk management as well as enhancing product design when biological activity is a key performance index (e.g. for application in biofouling bivalves' control). The toxicity of two cationic acrylamide copolymers with different chain branching degree was evaluated. Standard ecotoxicity tests were conducted with microalgae and daphnids. The susceptibility of Corbicula fluminea, as a biofouling bivalve, was also evaluated. The effect of polyelectrolyte on the test media viscosity and the polymer chain size distributions under the experimental conditions were also examined. The susceptibility of the microalgae to both polymers was similar. As the complexity and size of the test organisms increased, differences in toxicity due to different chain architecture were noticeable. The more branched polymer was significantly less toxic to both daphnids and the bivalves, which could be linked to the distinctive features of its bimodal size chain distribution. This architecture resulted in both more compact globular molecules and the formation of aggregates, which reduce the polymer interaction with the biological surfaces. The results of this study promote the incorporation of environmental considerations in polyelectrolyte development and contribute to the design of improved solutions for controlling biofouling bivalves.

Abstract
The possible use of cell therapies for neurological lesions and disorders is regarded as a very promising strategy. However, many issues related to cell type, tissue donor, expected biological action etc., are still open. In this study human mesenchymal stem cells derived from different fetal and adult tissues were examined in order to explore growth and neurotrophic factor synthesis and biological action, also considering the individual variability of the donors. Cells were derived from different human tissues and characterized according to the guidelines of the International Society for Cellular Therapy. Growth and neurotrophic factor synthesis was evaluated by real time PCR, biological assays and ELISA. It was found that human mesenchymal stem cells produce vascular endothelial-, nerve-growth factor (VEGF, NGF), brain-derived-, ciliary- and glial-derived neurotrophic factors (BDNF, CDGF, GDNF), which are neuroprotective molecules, but the source and the donor influence the synthesis rate. Accordingly, it is suggested that the source and the individual variability are key issues to be considered in the perspective of the clinical use of mesenchymal stem cells in neurological disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endothelial (EMPs) and platelet microparticles (PMPs) have been studied as biomarkers in several inflammatory diseases and as central players in intercellular communication. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to assess microparticle levels in asthma. Circulating microparticles and inflammatory and angiogenic markers were assessed by clinical and laboratorial evaluation, flow cytometry, and immunoassays, in a group of 20 asthmatic and 15 nonasthmatic subjects. RESULTS Circulating levels of PMPs (either CD31+/42b+ or CD31+/42b+/AnV+) were significantly increased in asthmatics (P = 0.021) even after adjustment for confounders. Apoptotic EMPs (CD31+/42b--/AnV+) were significantly increased before (P = 0.005) but not after adjustments (P = 0.117). CONCLUSIONS We propose that PMPs may be putative asthma biomarkers, playing a role in asthma pathophysiology.
