Abstract
AIM Public and private health services, which provide both preventive and health promotion interventions, were forced to suddenly stop their activities to limit the risk of infections during the pandemic emergency. Oral health administration, including that of children, was affected by these planned medical service closures, from both therapeutic and preventive perspectives. This study aims to analyse the consequences, at the oral cavity level, of failures to treat patients of childhood age, considering the impact of carious pathology on quality of life and incorrect eating and oral hygiene habits, which may occur in this age group. METHODS This is a cross-sectional, single-center, observational study. One hundred patients from the Odontostomatological University Center (C.O.U.) of Perugia were randomly enrolled. CONCLUSION Oral health status of the examined sample is satisfactory overall, considering the clinic's interruption of treatments with the resulting long period of no follow-up and the emotional and economic stress generated by the pandemic condition for both the young patients and their caregivers.

Abstract
AIM Recently, the application of restorative materials containing metacrilate monomers in the conservative and paediatric dentistry has focused on the possible negative effects due to the use of these composites. In particular the release of monomers from reconstructions as a result of an insufficient polymerisation, can spread along the mucosal and dental tissues with potential immunological ed cytotoxic effects. Regarding to the importance of this issue, the aim of this study is to provide a descriptive review of the literature on potential local and systemic interactions of metacrylic and acrylic monomers with the immune system, both in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS The most highly used monomers in composite materials applied in conservative dentistry include: 2-hydroessietil- methacrylate (HEMA), triethylene glycol-dimethacrylate (TEGDMA), bisphenol A glycidyl-methacrylate (BisGMA) and urethane- dimethacrylate (UDMA). Different investigations have been performed for better understanding of the potential side effects of metacrylic monomers on immune system cells. Different factors such as cell population, exposure time and parameters more strictly connected to these materials, such as molecular weight, chemical composition and mechanical characteristics, seem to be directly involved in these reactions.

Abstract
La prescripción de la actividad física, el ejercicio y evitar las conductas sedentarias poseen un invalorable referente en el personal de salud. El objetivo de esta investigación fue estudiar el nivel de actividad física y sedentarismo en un grupo profesionales de la salud mediante el uso de acelerometría. También se indagó acerca del estado nutricional de los sujetos y su relación con los niveles de actividad física y sedentarismo. Los sujetos del presente estudio reportaron ser activos (76%) pero se registraron un promedio de 592 minutos de tiempo sedentario, indicando que la mayoría de las personas pasan más de 9 horas sentadas. Los profesionales estudiados si bien parecen ser activos, son extremadamente sedentarios. La indicación de ejercicio como terapéutica sería más creíble si los profesionales fuesen activos, realizaran ejercicio regularmente, y además evitaran prolongados tiempos de conducta sedentaria.

Abstract
Anisakis simplex, a common parasite of the fish we eat, can cause eosinophilic enteriis by direct parasitization. The authors describe six cases of intestinal anisakiasis dignosed by morphologic and immunologic studies in vivo and in vitro, five being retospective cases of unclassified eosinophilic enteritis. All patients presented with symptoms of acute abdomen requiring urgent surgery. They all had segmental lesions in the jejunum and/or ileum. Histologically the authors observed eosinophilic miroabscesses; in two cases Anisakis larvae were found. None of the patients declared having eaten raw fish. The surgical pathologist plays a basic role in detecting this disase, although additional serologic investigation of anti-Anisakis IgE and a skin test should be done whenever possible.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine in intact and inflamed knee joints of the rat, the effect of the bradykinin (BK) B2 receptor antagonist fasitibant (MEN16132) on nociceptor mechanosensitivity and hyperalgesia. METHODS Joint afferent sensory fibers of the medial articular nerve of anesthetized animals were electrophysiologically recorded, measuring nerve impulse activity evoked by passive innocuous and noxious movements of the joint, in intact and kaolin and carrageenan-injected joints. Knee joints of rats were also acutely inflamed by intra-articular injection of carrageenan alone. Long term duration of fasitibant antinociceptive effects were behaviorally evaluated using the incapacitance test. RESULTS BK (100 μM) injected into the saphenous artery, induced excitation and sensitization of multi- and single unit recordings. Fasitibant (300 μM) injected prior to BK, reduced its excitatory effects as well as the overall increase of movement-evoked activity resulting from repeated injections of BK. Fasitibant did not affect movement-evoked activity of sensory fibers of intact, non-inflamed knee joints. Intra-articular fasitibant (100 μg/knee) significantly reduced the carrageenan-induced inflammatory hyperalgesia measured with the incapacitance test up to four days after treatment. This antinociceptive effect was not obtained with systemic endovenous injection of the drug. CONCLUSIONS Fasitibant prevents B2 receptor-mediated activation and sensitization of peripheral joint afferents and the ensuing inflammatory hyperalgesia, and may be a useful, novel drug for arthritis pain treatment.

This study investigates the effect of the selective and potent B(2) receptor antagonist fasitibant (MEN16132) on the proinflammatory effect of bradykinin (BK) and its interaction with interleukin 1β (IL-1β) in human synoviocytes. PGE(2) content was detected in the surnatants and COX-2 and COX-1 gene and protein expression determined in the cells. Radioligand binding ([(3) H]BK) and BK-induced inositolphosphate experiments were performed. Incubation of synoviocytes with BK induced a sustained production of PGE(2) and transient COX-2 gene expression that were prevented by pretreatment with fasitibant (1 μM, 30 min preincubation). IL-1β increased PGE(2) release and COX-2 expression more than BK alone. The combined treatment of cells with BK and IL-1β induced an even increase of released PGE(2) and COX-2 gene and protein expression indicating a synergistic rather than an additive effect, not related to an increase of B(2) receptors density or its coupling. These potentiating effects of BK on PGE(2) production and increased COX-2 expression produced by IL-1β were B(2)-receptor-mediated as fasitibant could prevent them. None of the treatments induced changes in the COX-1 expression. The synergistic PGE(2) production was abolished by the specific NF-kappaB inhibitor (BAY-117085), whereas specific inhibitors for the p38 (SB203580), JNK (SP600125), and ERK1/2 (PD98059) mitogen-activated protein kinases could prevent the prostanoid release. BK can potentiate the COX-2 gene expression and consequent prostanoid production induced by IL-1β. The prevention of this synergism by fasitibant indicates BK B(2) receptor blockade as an alternative symptomatic therapy for osteoarthritis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Bradykinin, through its B(2) receptor, is involved in inflammatory processes related to arthropathies. In carrageenan and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced arthritis in rat, the anti-inflammatory activity of MEN16132, a potent and selective kinin B(2) receptor antagonist, was compared with that of steroidal and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The interaction between MEN16132 and dexamethasone was also investigated. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Drugs, alone or in combination, were injected into the knee joint 30min before intra-articular administration of carrageenan or LPS, in pentobarbital anaesthetized rats. Effects on incapacitation, oedema, neutrophil recruitment and kallikrein system activation, in the knee joint, were assessed. KEY RESULTS MEN16132 and dexamethasone (10-300µg per knee) dose-dependently reduced carrageenan-induced joint pain, oedema and neutrophil infiltration, reaching a maximal inhibition of about 50%. Dexketoprofen exerted a similar analgesic activity, whereas it did not affect the other inflammatory responses. MEN16132 showed a partial inhibition of LPS-induced joint pain, whereas dexamethasone produced a full analgesic effect. Combination of MEN16132 and dexamethasone showed a strong synergistic interaction in inhibiting both carrageenan and LPS-induced knee joint inflammation. Dexamethasone did not prevent the contact activation of prekallikrein by carrageenan and the subsequent release of kallikreins and bradykinin in the synovium. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS Steroids and kinin B(2) receptor antagonists appear to relieve arthritic symptoms induced by carrageenan or LPS and act synergistically to inhibit joint inflammation. This could have interesting therapeutic implications, possibly opening the way for combination therapies in the control of inflammatory arthropathies.

Abstract
An unsupervised method for megakaryocyte detection and analysis is proposed, in order to validate supplementary tools which can be of help in supporting the pathologist in the classification of Philadelphia negative chronic myeloproliferative disorders with thrombocytosis. The experiment was conducted on high power magnification photomicrographs taken from hematoxylin-and-eosin 3 micrometer thick sections of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded bone marrow biopsies from patients with reactive thrombocytosis or chronic myeloproliferative disorders. Each megakaryocyte has been isolated in the photos through an image segmentation process, mainly based on mathematical morphology and wavelet analysis. A set of features (e.g. area, perimeter and fractal dimension of the cell and its nucleus, shape complexity via elliptic Fourier transform, and so on) is used to characterize the disorders and discriminate between essential thrombocythemia and idiopathic myelofibrosis. Features related to the general contour of the cell like cytoplasmic area and perimeter are good markers in distinguishing between normal or reactive and pathologic megakaryocytes while nuclear features and global circularity are helpful in the differential diagnosis between ET and prefibrotic IMF. The method proposed should be considered as a fast preprocessing tool for the diagnostic phase and its use can be extended to solve different object recognition problems.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this work is the study of the prognostic significance of the chromosomal aberrations described in a series of invasive ductal breast carcinomas. METHODS AND RESULTS We analysed by comparative genomic hybridization a group of 70 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded invasive ductal breast carcinomas. Aberrations showed a frequency similar to previous studies using frozen tumours. Interestingly, we identified gains involving 6q16-q24 more frequently than in other series. We analysed the association among the chromosomal imbalances, 11 histopathological factors, relapse rate and overall survival of patients. Associations showed 16q losses as a potential marker of good prognosis, as they were more frequent in node-negative (P=0.025) and in oestrogen-positive tumours (P < 0.001). Furthermore, 100% of bcl-2+ tumours presented this aberration compared with 29.3% in bcl-2- (P=0.014). 1q, 11q, 17q and 20q gains were associated with poor prognosis: 95% of cases with 1q gains were bigger than 20 mm (P=0.041). Tumours with 1q and 11q gains showed a higher relapse rate (P=0.063; P=0.066). Within the good prognosis group of lymph node-negative patients, 17q and 20q gains identify a subgroup with increased relapse rate (P=0.039). CONCLUSIONS Chromosomal imbalances, together with histopathological factors, may help to predict outcome in breast cancer patients.

Abstract
To evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF1) in primary and metastatic pulmonary adenocarcinomas, and test the diagnostic accuracy of this antibody, two surgical pathologists independently evaluated 34 cases of adenocarcinomas in the lung without clinical data and tried to distinguish between primary and metastatic cases using histological criteria exclusively. Thirteen cases were primary in the lung and 21 were metastases of extrapulmonary adenocarcinomas: 6 from the endometrium, 4 from the ovary, 3 from the colon, 2 from the kidney, 2 from the breast, 2 from the liver and 1 from the prostate. Afterward, the immunoreactivity of TTF1 in these neoplasms was evaluated and correlated with morphological and clinical data. The two pathologists were able to diagnose only 5 out of 13 cases of primary lung adenocarcinomas (sensitivity of 38.46%) and also misdiagnosed two primary malignancies as metastases. After correlation with TTF1 data, the sensitivity increased to 61.53%. The specificity of TTF1 was 100%. In conclusion, TTF1 is a highly specific marker for primary lung adenocarcinomas, and should be included in a panel of antibodies for the differential diagnosis between primary and metastatic adenocarcinomas of the lung.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to identify chromosomal imbalances in a series of invasive ductal carcinomas. In order to characterize the prognostic value of the chromosomal aberrations, we determined the association between genetic changes, overall survival, recurrences and some well-known prognostic and diagnostic parameters. MATERIAL AND METHODS We included in this study 70 ductal invasive carcinomas diagnosed at the Hospital of Navarra during 1991-1994. We used the Comparative Genomic Hybridization Technique (CGH) for the molecular cytogenetic analysis of formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded specimens. RESULTS We obtained successful results in 57 out of 70 cases (81.4%). The most frequent recurring findings were DNA gains on 8q, 17q, 1q, 20q, 11q and 6q and losses on 16q, Xp, Xq, 13q, 11q and 8p. In the survival study, gains on 1q and 11q13 were more frequent in patients with recurrence (41.3% vs. 18.5% and 50% vs. 23.7%). Loss of 16q appears as a prognostic factor of good outcome because of its association with good pathological prognostic features: 100% of tumors with this aberration showed overexpression of Bcl-2, and 75% of them were node negative. Besides, 46.7% of the positive cases for the expression of estrogen receptors also showed this imbalance. CONCLUSIONS The CGH is a useful technique for the study of paraffin embedded tumors. Our results confirm that the cytogenetic aberrations of tumors could be considered as prognostic factors contributing to a better knowledge of tumor outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess whether talking or reading (silently or aloud) could affect heart rate variability (HRV) and to what extent these changes require a simultaneous recording of respiratory activity to be correctly interpreted. BACKGROUND Sympathetic predominance in the power spectrum obtained from short- and long-term HRV recordings predicts a poor prognosis in a number of cardiac diseases. Heart rate variability is often recorded without measuring respiration; slow breaths might artefactually increase low frequency power in RR interval (RR) and falsely mimic sympathetic activation. METHODS In 12 healthy volunteers we evaluated the effect of free talking and reading, silently and aloud, on respiration, RR and blood pressure (BP). We also compared spontaneous breathing to controlled breathing and mental arithmetic, silent or aloud. The power in the so called low- (LF) and high-frequency (HF) bands in RR and BP was obtained from autoregressive power spectrum analysis. RESULTS Compared with spontaneous breathing, reading silently increased the speed of breathing (p < 0.05), decreased mean RR and RR variability and increased BP. Reading aloud, free talking and mental arithmetic aloud shifted the respiratory frequency into the LF band, thus increasing LF% and decreasing HF% to a similar degree in both RR and respiration, with decrease in mean RR but with minor differences in crude RR variability. CONCLUSIONS Simple mental and verbal activities markedly affect HRV through changes in respiratory frequency. This possibility should be taken into account when analyzing HRV without simultaneous acquisition and analysis of respiration.

Abstract
A 5-year study was carried out on the growth curve of two strains of P. aeruginosa inoculated at a density of 10(2) cfu/ml into samples of natural mineral water with different levels of dissolved solids (TDS at 180 degrees C: 72.5 and 382 mg/l) and low organic content (TOC: 0.17 and 0.35 mg/l). The resulting growth curves were similar for both strains, with only slight differences depending on the different amounts of dissolved solids in the water. After 4-5 days counts were increased by 3 log units. This level was maintained until 70-100 days from inoculation, after which a slow decrease began, culminating in the death of one of the strains after 5 years. No difference in recovery was observed between the method using direct inoculation on Cetrimide Agar and the resuscitation technique (preincubation in Tryptone Soya Agar followed by inoculation on Cetrimide Agar) in the exponential phase of the growth curve. During the stationary and death phases, however, the enrichment technique gave statistically slightly higher counts than the selective technique, indicating the presence of damaged P. aeruginosa cells. The use of a resuscitation step when using Cetrimide Agar to assess bottled water quality is recommended.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidemiological evidence has suggested an association between hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and B-cell lymphoproliferation. We studied the prevalence of HCV infection in a series of de novo B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL) cases and correlated virological findings with clinico-histological features. PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred fifty-seven patients with de novo B-NHL were included in the study. Their serum was examined by ELISA and RIBA for the presence of anti-HCV antibodies, and either the peripheral blood mononuclear cells or the pathology tissues of all of the patients were examined by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction for the presence of HCV RNA sequences. RESULTS HCV infection occurred in 22.3% of B-NHL patients and was documented before the diagnosis in about half of the positive cases. Of interest, HCV infection was more frequently found in follicular center, marginal zone and diffuse large-cell lymphoma types, but was not associated with symptomatic cryoglobulinemia. The median survival time was 48 months in HCV-positive and 52 months in HCV-negative B-NHL patients. CONCLUSIONS Our findings strengthen the pathogenetic link between HCV and B-NHL and show that HCV infection may be associated with the malignant proliferation of defined B-cell subsets other than the immunoglobulin Mk B-cell subset involved in the pathogenesis of mixed cryoglobulinemia type II and associated lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma type. HCV-related liver disease did not affect the survival of our B-NHL patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac autonomic reinnervation after human cardiac transplantation has been demonstrated frequently but to date only for sympathetic efferents. Standard surgical techniques leave many parasympathetic branches intact in the original atria and thus with less stimulus to reinnervate the donor atria. METHODS AND RESULTS We used changes in the RR-interval power spectrum induced by sinusoidal modulation of arterial baroreceptors by neck suction at different frequencies to detect both parasympathetic and sympathetic reinnervation in 79 subjects with "standard" and 10 "bicaval" heart transplants. In 24 subjects (17 standard and 7 bicaval), the protocol was repeated 6 and 11 months after transplantation. Neck suction at 0.20 Hz produced a component at 0.20 Hz in the RR-interval spectrum not due to respiration (fixed at 0.25 Hz), which suggested parasympathetic reinnervation, in 4 of 10 bicaval but in only 2 of 79 standard transplant subjects (whose recipient atria underwent >50% resection to remove scars of previous interventions), P<.001. In only 1 (bicaval) transplant subject was parasympathetic reinnervation present 6 months after transplantation (confirmed 3 months later); in 4 subjects, it was absent at 6 months but appeared after 11 months after transplantation. Atropine (0.04 mg/kg i.v.) abolished the response to fast (0.20 Hz) and reduced that to slow stimulation, confirming the presence of parasympathetic reinnervation (4 subjects). CONCLUSIONS Parasympathetic reinnervation depends on the surgical technique: because bicaval surgery cuts all sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, regeneration might be stimulated similarly in both branches. Standard surgery cuts only approximately 50% of sympathetic fibers; most recipient parasympathetic axons remain intact, hence their regeneration might not be stimulated.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), are unusual malignancies regarded for many years as being basically of smooth muscle nature and designated as leiomyomas, leiomyosarcomas or leiomyoblastomas. Histogenesis has been debated, though it is presently accepted that they are characterized by poorly differentiated cells, including tumors showing differentiation towards smooth muscle, neural elements, dual differentiation or lack of differentiation. Another group with ultrastructural and immunohistochemical features similar to those of gastrointestinal autonomic plexus has been described and designated as GAN tumors. Diagnosis and classification of these tumors are not possible using conventional pathological techniques, making ultrastructural and immunohistochemical studies necessary. Accurate classification is clinically essential due to prognostic implications. GIST present with few clinical symptoms even in cases of large tumors and are quite often incidentally found during surgical procedures or in postmortem studies. We report a case of a giant gastric stromal tumor showing differentiation towards smooth muscle which presented as a focal hepatic lesion.

Abstract
Using nucleic acid analysis and in situ hybridization we have demonstrated N-myc amplification and expression in two children with a localized (stages I and II) stroma-rich neuroblastoma (NB) (ganglioneuroblastoma). The phenomenon was observed in both undifferentiated and mature ganglion-like cells. The two children are alive and disease-free without any treatment after 16 and 17 months. These observations suggest that morphologic differentiation in NB in vivo is not necessarily followed by a decrease in N-myc expression. Moreover, N-myc amplification does not represent an adverse prognostic factor. In contrast with what happens in undifferentiated NB, N-myc amplification does not have an adverse effect on prognosis when occurring in localized (stages I and II), stroma-rich NB with a favorable histology.

Abstract
Tumour necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) concentrations were determined in the CSF from 42 HIV-infected patients, with or without CNS involvement. In addition, 14 subjects with various neurological disorders but without HIV antibodies were included as controls. Raised CSF concentrations of TNF-alpha (greater than 40 ng/l) were detected both in patients with AIDS dementia complex (ADC) (6/9) and with CNS opportunistic infections (10/19) and, less commonly, in HIV infected subjects without CNS diseases (2/14) and in anti-HIV negative controls (1/14). The highest CSF concentrations of TNF-alpha (greater than 100 ng/l), however, were found in seven out of eight patients with cryptococcal meningitis. Although a role for TNF-alpha in demyelinating lesions associated with ADC has been suggested, our results indicate that a clear elevation of TNF-alpha in the CSF from HIV positive patients mostly occurs in acute inflammatory disorders, such as cryptococcal meningitis.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetics of cyanamide after 35 mg kg-1 intravenous and oral administration to fasted and unfasted rats have been investigated. The plasma level are fitted well by a two-compartment open model. The half-life (t 1/2 beta) of cyanamide in the rat was 1 hour and the plasma clearance (C1p) was 0.02 (1 kg-1) min-1. Food does not appear to modify the absolute bioavailability of cyanamide (F = 93.3 per cent fasted, F = 85.5 per cent unfasted), although it does retard drug absorption.

Abstract
A progressive encephalopathy appeared in two sibs aged 7 and 5 months. The children died at 23 respectively 29 months of age. Autopsy of the second child disclosed a severe demyelination involving the whole brain. Only few globoid cells were identified. Ultrastructural and biochemical investigations confirmed the diagnosis of Krabbe's disease.

Abstract
Prenatal diagnosis by globin chain synthesis analysis on fetal blood samples obtained by placental aspiration was performed in two pregnancies at risk for beta-thalassaemia. Since both fathers had blood group AB, and both mothers had group O, fetal red cell concentration from maternal-fetal mixtures was obtained with the aid of anti-AB serum. With this approach it was possible to carry out globin chain synthesis analysis with very small amounts of fetal blood. Heterozygous and normal genotypes were ascertained and confirmed after birth.

Abstract
Tubulin levels of the medial basal hypothalamus (MBH) were greater in male than in female rats. Orchidectomy brought about a decrease of MBH tubulin concentration, whereas testosterone injection augmented it in the MBH and adenohypophysis. Estradiol administration augmented MBH tubulin and protein concentration.

Abstract
Changes of the H reflex during sleep were studied in 13 children with cerebral palsy (8 with spastic tetraplegia, 2 with a mixed form of cerebral palsy without spasticity, 3 with hypotonic diplegia or tetraplegia). These modifications were compared with those of 5 normal children of the same age. During repeated night recordings, responses in the calf muscle elicited by electrical stimuli to the posterior tibial nerve were studied at the same time as the EEG, EOG and EMG of the mental muscles. The results show that:--in normal children the max H reflex progressively decreases in amplitude from wakefulness to REM sleep; -- in spastic patients there is only a slight decrease in the H reflex in NREM sleep and no significant change in REM sleep; the amplitude of the H reflex is always greater than that in the control group; -- in the dystonic and hypotonic group the results obtained are similar to those of the control group. From these results one may draw the conclusion that in spastic patients as opposed to the control, dystonic and hypotonic groups, normal balance between the function of supraspinal systems regulating the amplitude of the spinal reflexes is alterated probably through the scarce functionality of the supraspinal inhibitory structures.

Abstract
A new case of translocation between chromosomes No. 5 and No. 12 is described. The translocation t(5;12) (5q15;12p13) is apparently balanced and was found in a child aged 3 1/2 years who was affected with severe psychomotor retardation. On the basis of the clinical picture it is suggested that the phenotype could be not dependent on the chromosomal alteration.

Abstract
Nine cases of the de Lange syndrome are reviewed. Our findings show that the facial characteristics in the present series and in previously reported cases are remarkably similar. Dermatoglyphically, we have documented an increased incidence of tibial loops on the hallucal area and increased incidence of single flexion creases of the digits from this study series. Our study also supports the previous authors who have recorded an increased incidence in radial loops on the second and third digits and increased incidence of simian lines. We have not been able to document a consistent chromosomal defect.

Abstract
Fetal anomalies were suspected clinically in 3 patients, during the second trimester of pregnancy, due to advanced maternal age, hydramnios and abnormal vaginal bleeding respectively. Sonography revealed anencephaly in all of them, confirmed by roentgenograms and also by high amniotic fluid leveal alpha-fetoprotein in 1 of them. The antenatal diagnosis was confirmed in the 3 abortuses. Early screening of all pregnancies at risk for neural tube malformations is strongly recommended.
