Background
Risk stratification in coronary arteries abnormalities (CAA), both anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) and myocardial bridges (MBs), is still challenging. A reliable method to detect myocardial ischemia is missing in these anomalies. We studied the safety and feasibility of dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE), compared with exercise stress echocardiography (ESE), in pediatric and young adult patients with CAA.
Methods
In 2019-21, N = 27 CAA [median age 16 years (Q1–Q3: 11, 22)] (n= 23 AAOCA, n = 4 MBs) were assessed. ESE was performed 1-2 days before the DSE examination, double-blinded for examiners and patients. Hemodynamic response and major (cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction, ventricular arrhythmia) and minor [hypertension (≥ 200/120 mmHg), paradoxical bradycardia, chest pain, nausea/vomiting, skin rash, anxiety, dizziness, dyspnea] events were recorded. Differences between rest/stress and DSE/ESE for wall motion abnormalities (WMA) and global longitudinal strain (GLS) were evaluated. Inter-observer agreement was also tested using the kappa (k) coefficient.
Results
Heart rate and blood pressure increased significantly from baseline (p < 0.001) in both DSE and ESE exams. Only DSE tests reached a heart rate ≥ 150 bpm (p < 0.001), while younger patients barely reached the heart rate target and frequently showed less compliance to the test. No patient had major events, while 5 (18.5%) had minor events, the majority during DSE. Inducible WMA were observed only at DSE examinations. Inter-observer agreement for WMA and GLS changes was good for both examinations (95%, k = 0.85, p < 0.001).
Conclusions
DSE is feasible in pediatric and young adult patients with AAOCA and MBs to assess inducible WMA and GLS rest/stress changes. It can be performed safely with a low incidence of major/minor events, with a better performance when compared to ESE. DSE is potentially a valuable test for detecting myocardial ischemia and probably helpful in managing CAA patients.

Background
To compare long-term outcomes of aortic valve repair (AVr) and pulmonary autograft replacement (Ross procedure) in terms of echocardiographic parameters, quality of life (QoL), physical activity (PA).
Methods
In 2005-19, 129 patients (median age 22 [13, 33 IQR], 75% males) underwent aortic surgery in our Department: 40 were Ross (22 years [19, 51 IQR]), 67 AVr (17 years [1, 50 IQR]) and 22 aortic valve replacements (52 years [30, 80 IQR]). We focused on Ross and AVr. Retrospectively, relevant data were collected from medical records and phone re-calls. Physical activity (spontaneous and active) and QoL were assessed utilizing the IPAQ and SF-36 questionnaires. All patients underwent echocardiography pre/post-surgery and the follow-up lasted 12 ± 4 years.
Results
At the baseline, Ross patients had more aortic stenosis than insufficiency (P = 0.045). At the follow-up, Ross procedures presented more right-ventricle and aortic annulus dilatation (P = 0.002 and P = 0.030, respectively), but higher left-ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS: 18 ± 3.2 % vs. 16 ± 3.3, P = 0.0027). Conversely, AVr experienced more re-do operations (Log-rank P = 0.005). Ross reported better QoL (SF-36: 0.8 ± 0.07 vs. 19 ± 0.4, P-0.045) and were also more active in daily PA (IPAQ ≥ 2500 Mets: 63.8% vs. 6%; P = 0.006). Ross patients practiced more sports activities than AVr (P = 0.011).
Conclusions
In a relatively small cohort of young and adults post aortic surgery patients, Ross procedures had better prognosis in terms of re-do operations; presented better ventricular function, as assessed by LV GLS. Ross patients had better long-term QoL and showed more spontaneous PA and involvement in sports activity.

Abstract
Background To assess if photobiostimulation (PBS) alleviates pain intensity/duration and swelling after implant surgery.
Material and Methods Sixty subjects (27 male and 33 female, with a mean age of 47,13 8.05 years) were included and randomly assigned to experimental group (implant surgery and photobiostimulation), placebo group (implant surgery and simulated photobiostimulation) and control group (implant surgery only). Inclusion criteria: subjects older than 20 years, with a healthy oral mucosa and requiring implant surgery. Exclusion criteria: pregnancy, history of implant failure, light sensitivity, metabolic deseases, consumption of antibiotics or corticosteroids in the last two weeks, smokers and alcohol drinkers. Patients reported the pain experienced by using a numeric rating scale (NRS) at 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours and from day 2 to 7. Swelling score was assessed by linear measurements and type and number of analgesic drugs within each time-point were recorded on a spreadsheet. Data of pain and amount of swelling were compared among the three groups by using the Kruskal-Wallis H Test and post-hoc comparisons tests.
Results Pain in the experimental group was less compared to controls and placebo group, at each time intervals (p < 0.001) as well as the maximum pain score (experimental group: median = 2, interquartile range 2-3; control group: median = 8, interquartile range 3,75-9; placebo group: median = 8, interquartile range 6,25-9). Swelling was almost insignificant in the experimental group (maximum value = 1, interquartile range 0-2,75, at 24 hours) compared with control (maximum value = 6, interquartile range 5-8,75, at 24 hours) and placebo (maximum value = 6, interquartile range 5-8, at 24 hours). Subjects in the experimental group assumed less analgesics compared to both controls and placebo groups.
Conclusions Photobiostimulation is an effective method to reduce pain intensity/duration and swelling after implant surgery. Key words:LLLT, photobiostimulation, pain, implant surgery.

Abstract
AIM The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of supportive periodontal therapy (i.e. scaling and rooth planning, SRP) alone versus a chemical device silica dioxide (SiO2) colloidal solutions (SL) used in association with SRP in the treatment of chronic periodontitis in adult patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 20 patients with a diagnosis of chronic periodontitis (40 localized chronic periodontitis sites) in the age group of 35 to 55 were selected. None of these patients have previously received any surgical or non-surgical periodontal therapy and demonstrated radiographic evidence of moderate bone loss. Two non-adjacent sites in separate quadrants were selected in each patient to monitorize treatment efficacy (split mouth design). Clinical pocket depth (PD) and microbial analysis (MA) were analyzed at baseline and 15th day. SPSS program and paired simple statistic T-test were used to detect significant differences. RESULTS Total bacteria loading, Tannerella Forsitia and Treponema Denticola loading were statistically reduced when SiO2 is locally delivered. CONCLUSIONS SL gel is an adiuvant therapy which should be added to SRP in the management of moderate to severe chronic periodontitis.

Abstract
The popularity of one piece implants has increased considerably between patients and dentists. The advantages of one-piece immediate loading for rehabilitation of edentulous mandibles is to reduce the number of interventions and timing of prosthetic. These parameters can be better controlled with a one-piece implant. Twenty-one patients with one-piece implants inserted in totally edentulous mandibles were considered for this retrospective study. Inclusion criteria were: Good oral hygiene, absence of lesions of the oral mucosa, no smoking or smoking less than 20 cigarettes a day, drinking less than 2 glasses of wine a day, good general health no pregnancy. Twenty-one (12 females 9 males) patients were enrolled in this retrospective study. The mean follow-up was 1 years. A total 84 one-piece implants (Biohorizon, Italy) were inserted in edentulous mandible. Implants diameter was 3.0 mm in all fixtures. Implants length was equal and longer than 12 mm in 44 and 40 fixtures respectively. 48 were inserted in females 36 in males (range 33-67; mean age 58.3). One-piece immediate loading implants has no difference in survival rate respect to two-piece implant and delayed loading for rehabilitation of totally edentulous mandibles. In conclusion one-piece immediate loading implant is a reliable device for mandible rehabilitation.

Abstract
Prosthetic rehabilitation of atrophic maxillary implants often requires grafting owing to vertical and transversal bone deficiency. The use of this procedure in order to insert implants was introduced by Tatum and published as a clinical study by Boyne and James. It can be performed via a lateral or crestal approach. This surgery is now widespread, with good results in terms of bone augmentation and implant osseointegration. Nevertheless, there is a small proportion of patients who have infectious complications with an incidence ranging from 3.5% to 10.5%. We observe that maxillary sinus augmentation is a successful preprosthetic technique for augmentation of the edentulous posterior maxilla. Preoperative assessment of the anatomy of the sinus reduces the rate of complications considerably.

Abstract
In recent years various studies about the biostimulatory effects of the laser therapy in orthodontics have been carried out. This study investigates the potential advantages obtainable using the Low-level Laser Therapy during orthodontic treatment and the most efficient clinical protocols. Recently published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have been obtained through a search on electronic databases (Cochrane Library and Pubmed). Clinical studies in humans in which Low-level Laser Therapy was applied during orthodontic treatment were included. In conclusion, 14 relevant clinical studies were identified. This study shows the possibility to obtain an increase in tooth movement between 31% and 100% depending on the laser therapy considered and the time interval for measuring the value. In addition, there is a potential impact in reducing orthodontic pain limited to the day following the application of laser therapy when orthodontic therapy includes canine retraction, and during a period not exceeding five days from the placement of fixed orthodontic appliances in the others clinical cases.Low-level Laser Therapy is considered effective both to increase the movement of the dental elements and to reduce pain during orthodontic therapy. Different clinical protocols have been identified depending on the orthodontic cases considered. Both an LED device and an AlGaAs diode device can be used. In the future paying more attention to the therapeutic possibilities offered by laser devices with greater power is recommended. A greater energy density directed to the target tissues has been proven to provoke more significant therapeutic effects.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The aim of our study was to evaluate the properties of a laser-modified titanium surface, specifically the promotion of a faster differentiation of human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (hMSCs) into osteoblasts and a more stable connection between differentiated cells and titanium, compared to machined and sand-blasted surfaces. Furthermore, we wanted to assess if the titanium alone could be a sufficient factor in the induction of the differentiation towards the osteogenic lineage. MATERIALS AND METHODS we harvested stem cells from an individual (under his consensus) and cultivated them into dishes containing titanium disks presenting three different surfaces: machined (M), sand-blasted (S) and laser-modified (L). In the test group, cells were cultivated in an osteogenic medium, while in the control group, cells were seeded in a standard DMEM. Evaluations of the degree of differentiation were made with Alizarin coloration after 28, 38, 42, 49, 56 and 63 days from induction. RESULTS no signs of differentiation were evident in the control group, while in the test group there was a statistically significant differentiation, evident since the fourth week. Laser-modified and sand-blasted surfaces showed similar values, higher than the machined surface. DISCUSSION on the laser-modified surface the differentiation reached its peak on the sixth week, while on the seventh week for the other two surfaces. After the peak, the differentiation showed a slow decrease for the laser-modified surface and a rapid decrease for the other two. CONCLUSIONS titanium alone can't be considered enough to induce differentiation of human Mesenchymal Stem Cells into osteoblasts. Still, the laser-modified once induced a faster differentiation of stem cells and a more stable connection between osteoblasts and titanium.

Abstract
Several factors compete for both the achievement and the long-term maintenance of osseointegration; among these, of importance is the width and integrity of the peri-implant soft tissue. Many authors already underlined the importance for implant-prosthesis procedures to maintain a good biological seal together with a low bacterial cell surface charge (this is also valid for a natural tooth with an undamaged periodontium). The aim of this work is to present, through a clinical case, a new technique that focuses on the regeneration of soft tissue around a post-extractive implant. For the case reported, a post-extractive implant surgery of an inferior molar of the fourth quadrant with a buccal bone resorption of 3mm in the mesial section of the root, three dimensional collagen matrices (Bioteck) and a blend of equine spongy bone granules (OX Bioteck) were used, combined with aPDT without dye (Rey Protocol). With an easy and not invasive surgery, this technique allows the recreation of new gingiva around the implant.

Abstract
Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia or Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome is an incomplete penetrance dominant autosomal transmission disease which determines microcirculatory beds alterations (capillary and venules), caused by the loss of the support tissues that usually enclose blood vessels, and hemorrhage potentially in every organ. The syndrome clinical manifestations are multiple telangiectasia of small proportions on the skin or on the mucous membranes (e.g. of the gastrointestinal tract or other organs), in association with recurring bleedings of the affected areas and external and internal melena. The treatment is a supportive one so to prevent complications. This study reports a case of a patient affected by this syndrome in need of a dental implant following the fracture of a tooth. Furthermore, a bibliographical review of etiopathogenesis, clinical manifestations and therapy options has been made.

Abstract
Prosthetic rehabilitation of the edentulous posterior maxilla with implant-supported prostheses frequently presents a challenge for the oral surgeon because of the lack of bone due to alveolar ridge resorption or maxillary sinus pneumatization. To overcome these problems, different solutions were proposed over the years. Maxillary sinus membrane elevation is a common surgical technique for increasing bone height in the posterior maxilla prior to dental implant placement. However, the biological nature of bone regeneration in maxillary sinus membrane remains largely unidentified. The authors present a clinical case and literature review to understand the fundamental of bone formation in osteotomy sinus floor elevation.

Abstract
The popularity of one-piece implants has increased considerably between patients and dentists. The advantages of one-piece immediate loading for rehabilitation of edentulous mandibles are to reduce the number of interventions and timing of prosthetic. These parameters can be better controlled with a one-piece implant. Twenty-one patients with one-piece implants inserted in totally edentulous mandibles were considered for this retrospective study. Inclusion criteria were: Good oral hygiene, absence of lesions of the oral mucosa, no smoking or smoking less than 20 cigarettes a day, drinking less than 2 glasses of wine a day, good general health no pregnancy. Twenty-one (12 female 9 males) patients were enrolled in this retrospective study. The mean follow-up was 1 year. A total 84 one-piece implants (Biohorizon, Italy) were inserted in edentulous mandible. Implants diameter was 3,0 mm in all fixtures. Implant's length was equal and longer than 12 mm in 44 and 40 fixtures respectively. 48 were inserted in females 36 in males (range 33-67; mean age 58,3). One-piece immediate loading implants has non-difference in survival rate respect to two-piece implant and delayed loading for rehabilitation of totally edentulous mandibles. In conclusion one-piece immediate loading implant is a reliable device for mandible rehabilitation.

Abstract
Control of bleeding after oral surgery, is mandatory in patients taking anticoagulants. There are different haemostatic measure to prevent post-surgical bleeding. The aim of our study is to use a homeostatic agent, Calcium sulphate (P30, Ghimas, Bologna, Italy) for controlling post-surgical bleeding in a group of patients treated with warfarin therapy for thromboembolic states. Twenty teeth (12 mandibular molars, 8 maxillary molars) in 20 patients (14 men and 6 woman) with a mean age of 54.3 years (± 10.3 years) were included in the study. The patients were divided in 2 group; in 10 patients of the study group was used Calcium sulphate (P30, Ghimas, Bologna, Italy) in layers to fill the socket after extraction, while in control group was recommended to put a gauze with tranexamic acid in the extraction site immediately after extraction, and half an hour after extraction. The outcome was bleeding in subsequent days. Bleeding at post operative day 1 was significant in 5 patients of control group, otherwise in study group treated with calcium sulfate there was no bleeding in any patient (p. value 0.0055). CaS demonstrated to be a good hemostatic agent for controlling bleeding after oral surgery in patients taking anticoagulants.

Abstract
Burned skeletal remains are abundant in archaeological and paleontological sites, the result of fire or of ancient funerary practices. In the burning process, the bone matrix suffers structural and dimensional changes that interfere with the reliability of available osteometric methods. Recent studies showed that these macroscopic changes are accompanied by microscopic variations are reflected in vibrational spectra. An innovative integrated approach to the study of archaeological combusted skeletal remains is reported here, where the application of complementary vibrational spectroscopic techniques-INS (inelastic neutron scattering), FTIR (Fourier transform infrared), and micro-Raman-enables access to the complete vibrational profile and constitutes the first application of neutron spectroscopy to ancient bones. Comparison with data from modern human bones that were subjected to controlled burning allowed identification of specific heating conditions. This pioneering study provides archaeologists and anthropologists with relevant information on past civilizations, including regarding funerary, burial, and cooking practices and environmental settings.

Abstract
Gingival augmentation techniques proposed in the international literature do not exclude a surgical component, which determines consequent post-surgical discomfort and results are not always predictable. In recent years, the introduction of laser biostimulation has led to a less invasive approach, particularly in the treatment of periodontally compromised patients, limiting the surgical phase to seriously compromised cases, with regeneration techniques for the restoration of a correct periodontal tissue anatomy. The aim of this in vitro study is to establish the validity of laser biostimulation in order to develop the epithelial keratinized layer of the tissue by stimulating fibroblasts-keratinocytes organotypic cultures and fibroblasts and keratinocytes mono-cultures. We created two groups (test and control), each one composed of 3 fibroblast cultures, 3 keratinocyte cultures and 3 organotypic cultures. We performed laser irradiation of test group with Wiser Doctor Smile Lambda, Flat Top Handpiece, at 50 J/cm2 of fluency with one application every 40 h for a total of 5 applications. Forty-eight h after the last laser application, we investigated the presence and amount of keratins 5 and 8 with citofluorymetric and western blotting analyses. Analyses showed an increase in keratin synthesis in test group cultures, showing a remarkable increase in production of keratin 8 in co-cultures test. Laser biostimulation can considerably enhance keratin synthesis when applied with high energy doses and repeated applications to keratinocytes-fibroblasts co-cultures.

Abstract
In the last ten years was observed a significant increase of publications about piezoelectric bone surgery. The purpose of this review was to define the state of art and to realize a comparison between piezoelectric devices and manual or rotating traditional techniques, analyzing advantages and disadvantages from a clinical and histological point of view for various dental procedures. The literature review has been carried out using medical databases on line: MEDLINE and COCHRANE LIBRARY. The authors selected 37 publications about dental field and consistent with inclusion criteria established. From the clinical point of view, the analysis of selected publications concerning procedures such as maxillary sinus lift, alveolar ridge expansion, samples of autologous bone, etc, showed surgical trauma reduction, especially towards to soft and nervous tissues, surgical mini-invasiveness, cut precision and selectivity and speed of learning guaranteed by piezoelectric devices compared to traditional ones. Histologically, however, the study of biology and postintervention bone tissue healing showed a lower loss of bone with piezoelectric instruments than with conventional devices, as well as a better healing quality by reducing patient's postsurgery morbidity. The use of piezoelectric devices seems thus to simplify different sinus lift surgical procedures and to allow greater predictability, although some studies reveal that there are not substantial differences in comparison of long-term results between conventional and piezoelectric instruments and also criticize their increase in operation time.

Abstract
The concept of "fibro-osseous lesions" of bone has evolved over the last several years and now includes two mayor entities: the fibrous dysplasia (FD) and the cement-ossifying fibroma (COF). Fibrous dysplasia is considered to be a developmental, tumor-like (hamartomatous), fibro-osseous disease of unknown etiology. There is a maxillary predominance when craniofacial FD occurs in the jaws and the maxillary sinus is commonly involved. Differentiation of OF from FD is important because of differences in treatment and behaviour. This article report a case of 60-year-old female with a history of painless unilateral palatal swelling.

Abstract
CREST syndrome is part of the heterogeneous scleroderma group of autoimmune diseases that cause thickening, hardening and tightening of the connective tissue in different parts of the body, and it may lead to complex disorders. CREST syndrome is characterized by the coexistence of calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal hypomotility, sclerodactily and telangectasia. A 72-year-old caucasian woman is referred to the S. Gerardo Hospital of Monza, with a chief complaint of oral pain and difficulties in deglutition and eating, associated with denture instability and difficulties to fit it. She had been previously diagnosed with Raynaud's phenomenon, and afterwards with CREST syndrome. Extra-oral examination underlined taut, thickened and rigid skin, pallid-red irregular maculae all over the face, telangiectasias and acrocyanosis. Intra-oral examination showed no alteration of the mucosa, but we can observe tongue rigidity and some speckled red alternating with white spots on the hard palate and in the vestibule. We undermitted the patient the dental treatment of Sjogren's syndrome. The management of the Sjogren's syndrome is symptomatic and empirical, and involves the use of saliva secretion stimulators, salivary substitutes and coadjuvants. Dental treatment and prophylaxis are important to prevent the consequences of xerostomia, such as rampant caries, based on the administration of topical fluoride in toothpastes and rinses, and supplemented by fluoride gels and varnishes. Instruction and reinforcement of oral hygiene, along with frequent dental assessment and management by the dentist are essential measures to preserve the oral health of those affected with CREST syndrome in progression to SS, complicated with Sjogren's syndrome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontal disease is a degenerative illness that leads to resorption of the alveolar bone. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) represent a novel tool for the production of biologic constructs for the treatment of degenerative bone diseases. The preparation of MSC differentiated into osteogenic lineage for clinical use requires the fulfillment of strict good manufacturing practice (GMP) procedures. METHODS MSC were isolated from BM samples and then cultured under GMP conditions. MSC were characterized phenotypically and for their differentiative potential. Cells were seeded onto collagen scaffolds (Gingistat) and induced to differentiate into osteogenic lineages using clinical grade drugs compared with standard osteogenic supplements. Alizarin Red S stain was used to test the deposition of the mineral matrix. Standard microbiologic analysis was performed to verify the product sterility. RESULTS The resulting MSC were negative for CD33, CD34 and HLA-DR but showed high expression of CD90, CD105 and HLA-ABC (average expressions of 94.3%, 75.8% and 94.2%, respectively). Chondrogenic, osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation potential was demonstrated. The MSC retained their ability to differentiate into osteogenic lineage when seeded onto collagen scaffolds after exposure to a clinical grade medium. Cell numbers and cell viability were adequate for clinical use, and microbiologic assays demonstrated the absence of any contamination. DISCUSSION In the specific context of a degenerative bone disease with limited involvement of skeletal tissue, the combined use of MSC, exposed to an osteogenic clinical grade medium, and biomimetic biodegradable scaffolds offers the possibility of producing adequate numbers of biologic tissue-engineered cell-based constructs for use in clinical trials.

Abstract
Finite-length models of metallic and semiconducting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) based on Clar sextet theory of aromatic systems are proposed. For metallic CNTs, the electronic properties of finite-length models converge monotonically to the values expected for quasi-monodimensional metallic systems. For semiconducting CNTs, the use of finite-length models as proposed in this work leads to a fast convergence of the electronic properties to the values expected for the corresponding infinite-length nanotube.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Uncontrolled T cell activation and abnormal function of the innate immune system against normal enteric bacterial flora play a critical part in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Therefore, pharmacological strategies directed to restore the normal responsiveness of the immune system could be efficacious in the treatment of these pathological conditions. Glucocorticoid-induced tumour necrosis factor receptor (GITR)-related gene is a member of the tumour necrosis factor receptor superfamily that is constitutively expressed at high levels on regulatory T cells and at low levels on unstimulated T cells, B cells and macrophages. GITR triggering leads to activation of T effectors and reversal of suppressive function of regulatory T cells. AIM To investigate the role of GITR in the development of experimental colitis in mice. RESULTS Using GITR(-/-) mice, GITR deletion protected against 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulphonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis by reducing innate immune responses and effector T cell activity. Effector T cells isolated from GITR(-/-) mice were less effective than T cells isolated from GITR(+/+) mice to transfer colitis in immunodeficient mice. Blocking the GITR/ligand for GITR (GITRL) signal by giving soluble GITR prevented TNBS-induced colitis in normal GITR(+/+) and also in lymphocyte-deficient SCID mice. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, these data suggest that GITR plays a critical part in regulating both acquired and innate mucosal immune responses during the development of experimental colitis in mice. Therefore, targeting the GITR/GITRL system signalling may represent a potential pharmacological tool for the treatment of IBD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Management of periodontal defects has always been a challenge in clinical periodontics. Recently mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have been proposed for tissue regeneration in periodontal disease and repair of large bone defects. Bone regeneration has to be supported by a scaffold which has to be biocompatible, biodegradable, and able to support cell growth and differentiation. The aim of this study was to evaluate osteogenic differentiation of MSC seeded on a collagen scaffold. DESIGN MSC were obtained from adult rat bone marrow, expanded and cultured in plastic dishes or seeded in a collagen scaffold (Gingistat). MSC were induced towards osteogenic differentiation using osteogenic supplements. Cell differentiation and calcium deposits were evaluated by immunoblotting, immunohistochemistry, histochemical techniques, enzymatic activity assay, and SEM-EDX analysis. Biomaterial in vitro degradation was evaluated by measuring mass reduction after incubation in culture medium. RESULTS Rat MSC osteogenic differentiation was demonstrated by osteopontin and osteocalcin expression and an increase in alkaline phosphatase activity. MSC were distributed homogeneously in the collagen scaffold. Nodular aggregates and alizarin red stained calcium deposits were observed in MSC induced towards osteogenic differentiation cultured in dishes or seeded in the collagen scaffold. SEM-EDX analysis demonstrated that calcium co-localized with phosphorous. The biomaterial in vitro degraded in 4-5 weeks. CONCLUSIONS MSC from bone marrow differentiate towards osteogenic lineage, representing a suitable cell source for bone formation in periodontal regeneration. Gingistat collagen scaffold supports MSC distribution and differentiation, but its short degradation time may be a limitation for a future application in bone tissue regeneration.

Abstract
Signet-ring cell carcinoma is a relatively rare neoplasm that rarely occurs in the urinary bladder. We report a case of a 60-year-old man who presented with gross haematuria. Cystoscopy revealed a white sessile tumour of the anterior bladder wall. The histological diagnosis showed a primary signet-ring cell carcinoma of the bladder (T3bN0M0). Eighteen months after radical cystectomy, the patient developed colon and stomach metastases. This case represents the first description of a primary signet-ring cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder with gastrointestinal metastases.

Abstract
In Summer 2002, a patient with frequent epistaxis was admitted to the San Gerardo Hospital. Local examination showed a big mass in the nasal fossa. TC and RMN revealed a diffuse erosion of the palatal bone and infiltration of the maxilla. The tumor was removed and histological examination showed a gland carcinoma. The young age of the patient and the need of an adequate bone reconstruction led to use osteoperiosteal calf bone graft. Subsequently, using local anesthesia, 6 implants were positioned. After normal healing and the period of osteointegration, a Toronto bridge was made on implants that the patient wears with no problem.

Abstract
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is frequent in patients with essential hypertension (EH); a likely common pathogenetic pathway could be a reduced ability of arteriolar vascular smooth muscle (VSM) to relax. Increasing intracellular levels of cGMP reduce the contractile status of VSM; on the contrary, type 5 cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase (PDE5, codified by PDE5A gene) regulates cGMP levels through its clearance. The PDE5A gene represents a good candidate for the intermediate phenotype EH/ED: genetic variants of the PDE5A may predispose to EH and ED and could affect the local and systemic response to sildenafil administration. Thus, a functionally relevant portion of PDE5 5'-flanking promoter region was analyzed by PCR and direct sequencing in patients with EH and idiopathic ED. The sequences obtained showed a T/G polymorphism at position -1142, near an AP1 regulatory element, that was not apparently associated with the intermediate phenotype. We also studied the relationship between this polymorphism and the effects of oral sildenafil on blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) in men with ED. Sildenafil caused a significant decrease of BP, but had no effects on HR; statistical analysis showed no differences in BP and HR variations among PDE5A genotypes. In conclusion, our data showed no correlations of a novel polymorphism of the PDE5A promoter gene with the intermediate phenotype EH/ED and the BP and HR response to sildenafil administration. Further studies are necessary to define the role of this polymorphism and to study the genetic predisposition for EH with ED.

Abstract
AIM Burning mouth syndrome could be considered an expression of atypical facial pain. The recent neuropathological findings in BMS may suggest the need for alternative therapies. This paper aims to evaluate if systemic capsaicin could be used for BMS the- rapy. METHODS Eighty-four BMS patients (19 males and 63 females, aged 36 to 74 years, mean 54.6) were referred to the Oral Medicine and Oral Pathology Department, Dental University Institute, Milan-Bicocca University. They were divided in 2 groups: 1(st) Group: the first group (42 patients) received 3 capsules of capsaicin (50 mg of powder of red pepper with 0,25% of capsaicin) a day for one month. 2(nd) Group: the control group (42 patients) received 3 capsules of placebo (empty capsules) a day for one month. The intensity of pain was measured on the visuo-analogical scale VAS. T test of Student was applied to analyse results of VAS. P values of less than 0.05 were interpreted as significant, and the level in confidence intervals was 95%. RESULTS Significant differences were noted between the two groups at the end of our study (p<0.05). No important side effects were reported. CONCLUSION Systemic capsaicin could be considered a successful therapeutical approach for BMS patients.

Abstract
This study compared clinical, microbiologic, and morphostructural aspects of the healing process in clinical cases treated with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene membranes placed in fresh extraction sockets, which did or did not show early membrane exposure. The examination was focused particularly on morphology of the microbic population and its ability to penetrate membrane pores. Results of the study suggest that use of the membranes is effective in the treatment of fresh extraction sockets with osseointegrated implants; that the membranes are highly biocompatible with gingival tissues; and that early exposure of the membranes during healing hinders the effectiveness of guided tissue regeneration in periimplant tissues.
