Abstract
INTRODUCTION Kidney transplant (KT) recipients have a four-times higher risk of renal malignancies compared to general population. As these patients frequently harbor bilateral or multifocal tumors, the management of renal masses is still under debate. OBJECTIVE To explore the current management of the native kidney masses in KT patients. ACQUISITION OF EVIDENCE We performed a literature search on MEDLINE/PubMed database. A number of 34 studies were included in the present review. SYNTHESIS OF EVIDENCE In frail patients with renal masses below 3 cm, active surveillance is a feasible alternative. Nephron-sparing surgery is not justified for masses in the native kidney. Radical nephrectomy is the standard treatment for post-transplant renal tumors of the native kidneys in KT recipients, with laparoscopic techniques leading to significantly less perioperative complication rates as compared to the open approach. Concurrent bilateral native nephrectomy at the time of transplantation can be considered in patients with renal mass and polycystic kidney disease, especially if no residual urinary output is present. Patients with localized disease and successful radical nephrectomy do not require immunosuppression adjustment. In metastatic cases, mTOR agents can ensure efficient antitumoral response, while maintaining proper immunosuppression in order to protect the graft. CONCLUSIONS Post-transplant renal cancer of the native kidneys is a frequent occurrence. Radical nephrectomy is most frequently performed for localized renal masses. A standardized and widely-approved screening strategy for malignancies of native renal units is yet to be implemented.

Abstract
Green roofs are effective tools for stormwater control in highly urbanized areas since they allow the reduction of peak runoffs and volumes discharged in sewer systems. Their design is quite standardized, except for the thickness of the growing medium layer, which is strictly related to vegetation type and rainfall regime. The paper proposes an analytical probabilistic approach that relates the climatic variables, the growing medium thickness, and the water content in the condition of fulfilled field capacity to the probability that runoff from green roofs exceeds a fixed threshold. The developed equations also consider the possibility of a reduced retention capacity due to previous rainfall events, that strongly influence the performance of these green infrastructures, especially when short dry periods and/or low evapotranspiration rates occur. This feature, neglected by the traditional design storm approach, and only partially considered by previous analytical probabilistic models, represent a great potentiality of the proposed equations that are also more user-friendly and less time-consuming than continuous simulation analysis. The focus of the paper is on the influence of climatic parameters on runoff probability. To this aim to perform the monthly analysis is fundamental, especially when there is a strong variability of the climatic parameters throughout the year. The model was tested in a case study in Milano, Italy. The application presented a good agreement between the results obtained from the proposed equations and those obtained from the continuous simulation of recorded data. The results also highlighted the importance of performing analysis on a monthly scale.

Abstract
Abstract
Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS) include strategies and solutions for distributed stormwater management and control. They are strongly encouraged, especially in highly urbanized areas that suffer the combined effect of impervious surfaces and the increase in extreme rainfall events due to urbanization growth and climate change. Their integration into traditional urban drainage systems can mitigate flood risk and pollution of receiving water bodies. The main goal of SUDS is to restore the natural water balance by increasing infiltration and evapotranspiration processes and promoting rainwater harvesting and reuse. This paper proposes an analytical-probabilistic approach for SUDS modeling applicable to different systems. Developed equations allow estimating the runoff and residual storage probability for evaluating the efficiency of the storage volume both in terms of flood control and, depending on SUDS type, in terms of emptying time or water needs supply. The modeling considers the possibility of consecutive chained rainfalls; this feature is relevant for SUDS, often characterized by low outflow rates. Relating characteristic parameters to a probabilistic level (the Average Return Interval, ARI) makes the formulas interesting to be used in the design practice. An application to two case studies confirmed the goodness of the proposed method.

Abstract
Background Standardized methods for reporting surgical quality have been described for all the major urological procedures apart from radical nephroureterectomy (RNU). Objective To propose a tetrafecta criterion for assessing the quality of RNU based on a consensus panel within the Young Association of Urology (YAU) Urothelial Group, and to test the impact of this tetrafecta in a multicenter, large contemporary cohort of patients treated with RNU for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Design, setting, and participants This was a retrospective analysis of 1765 patients with UTUC treated between 2000 and 2021. Outcome measurements and statistical analysis We interviewed the YAU Urothelial Group to propose and score a list of items to be included in the “RNU-fecta.” A ranking was generated for the criteria with the highest sum score. These criteria were applied to a large multicenter cohort of patients. Kaplan-Meier curves were built to evaluate differences in overall survival (OS) rates between groups, and a multivariable logistic regression model was used to find the predictors of achieving the RNU tetrafecta. Results and limitations The criteria with the highest score included three surgical items such as negative soft tissue surgical margins, bladder cuff excision, lymph node dissection according to guideline recommendations, and one oncological item defined by the absence of any recurrence in ≤12 mo. These items formed the RNU tetrafecta. Within a median follow-up of 30 mo, 52.6% of patients achieved the RNU tetrafecta. The 5-yr OS rates were significantly higher for patients achieving tetrafecta than for their counterparts (76% vs 51%). Younger age, lower body mass index, and robotic approach were found to be independent predictors of tetrafecta achievement. Conversely, a higher Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score, higher clinical stage, and bladder cancer history were inversely associated with tetrafecta. Conclusions Herein, we present a “tetrafecta” composite endpoint that may serve as a potential tool to assess the overall quality of the RNU procedure. Pending external validation, this tool could allow a comparison between surgical series and may be useful for assessing the learning curve of the procedure as well as for evaluating the impact of new technologies in the field. Patient summary In this study, a tetrafecta criterion was developed for assessing the surgical quality of radical nephroureterectomy in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma. Patients who achieved tetrafecta had higher 5-yr overall survival rates than those who did not.

Abstract
The measurement of physicochemical properties of polydisperse complex biological samples, for example, extracellular vesicles, is critical to assess their quality, for example, resulting from their production and isolation methods. The community is gradually becoming aware of the need to combine multiple orthogonal techniques to perform a robust characterization of complex biological samples. Three pillars of critical quality attribute characterization of EVs are sizing, concentration measurement and phenotyping. The repeatable measurement of vesicle concentration is one of the key‐challenges that requires further efforts, in order to obtain comparable results by using different techniques and assure reproducibility. In this study, the performance of measuring the concentration of particles in the size range of 50–300 nm with complementary techniques is thoroughly investigated in a step‐by step approach of incremental complexity. The six applied techniques include multi‐angle dynamic light scattering (MADLS), asymmetric flow field flow fractionation coupled with multi‐angle light scattering (AF4‐MALS), centrifugal liquid sedimentation (CLS), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), tunable resistive pulse sensing (TRPS), and high‐sensitivity nano flow cytometry (nFCM). To achieve comparability, monomodal samples and complex polystyrene mixtures were used as particles of metrological interest, in order to check the suitability of each technique in the size and concentration range of interest, and to develop reliable post‐processing data protocols for the analysis. Subsequent complexity was introduced by testing liposomes as validation of the developed approaches with a known sample of physicochemical properties closer to EVs. Finally, the vesicles in EV containing plasma samples were analysed with all the tested techniques. The results presented here aim to shed some light into the requirements for the complex characterization of biological samples, as this is a critical need for quality assurance by the EV and regulatory community. Such efforts go with the view to contribute to both, set‐up reproducible and reliable characterization protocols, and comply with the Minimal Information for Studies of Extracellular Vesicles (MISEV) requirements.

Abstract
PURPOSE Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most common metabolic disorder in pregnancy, with increasing prevalence worldwide and still unclear pathogenic mechanisms. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging as potential biomarkers of disease-specific pathways in metabolic disorders, but their potential role in GDM is not fully understood. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to evaluate the link between EVs and hyperglycaemia during pregnancy. METHODS We assessed 50 GDM women and 50 controls at the third trimester of pregnancy in whom we collected demographic characteristics and clinical and anthropometric parameters. In addition, the circulating total EVs (tEVs) and their subpopulations were assessed using flow cytometry. RESULTS The levels of tEVs and EVs subtypes, expressed as median and interquartile range, were not significantly different between two groups; however, adipocyte-derived EVs (aEVs) concentration, expressed as percentage, was higher in controls than in GDM women (p = 0.045). In addition, a significant correlation was observed between aEVs (%) and third trimester total cholesterol (p = 0.022) within the GDM group. Furthermore, a significant correlation between endothelial-derived EVs (eEVs) and platelet-derived EVs (pEVs) within both groups was found, as well as a significant relation between aEVs and pEVs. CONCLUSIONS These data, although preliminary, represent the starting point for further studies to determine the role of circulating EVs in GDM.

Abstract
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are efficient biocides increasingly used in consumer products and medical devices. Their activity is due to their capacity to release bioavailable Ag(i) ions making them long-lasting biocides but AgNPs themselves are usually easily released from the product. Besides, AgNPs are highly sensitive to various chemical environments that triggers their transformation, decreasing their activity. Altogether, widespread use of AgNPs leads to bacterial resistance and safety concerns for humans and the environment. There is thus a crucial need for improvement. Herein, a proof of concept for a novel biocide based on AgNP assemblies bridged together by a tri-thiol bioinspired ligand is presented. The final nanomaterial is stable and less sensitive to chemical environments with AgNPs completely covered by organic molecules tightly bound via their thiol functions. Therefore, these AgNP assemblies can be considered as safer-by-design and innovative biocides, since they deliver a sufficient amount of Ag(i) for biocidal activity with no release of AgNPs, which are insensitive to transformations in the nanomaterial.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of RIRS in men ≥65 years to those <65 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients who underwent RIRS were prospectively collected from March 2013 to March 2014 in 5 European centers. Perioperative outcomes and complications in elderly men were compared with men <65 years. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed for factors predicting overall complications. The groups were compared using Mann-Whitney U test. Categorical variables were compared using chi-squared test and the Yates correction or the Fisher's exact test. RESULTS A total of 399 patients with renal stones were included, 308 (77.19%) were aged <65 years, 91 (22.8%) were aged ≥65 years. Elderly patients were more likely to have higher ASA scores (35.7% vs 92.3%; p < 001), Charlson Comorbidity Index (1.8 vs. 5.2, p < 0.001), hyperlipidemia (10.06% vs. 30.76%; p = 0,0005) and coronary heart disease (5.51% vs. 17.58; p = 0.005) compared to younger cohort. Perioperative outcomes (stone free rate, operative time and re-intervention rate) did not show differences between the two groups (p > 0.05). Surgical and medical complication rates were similar between the cohorts (14.28% vs 9.89%; p = 0.38). Multivariate analysis did not identify any predictive factors of complications among the two groups (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS In this study, elderly RIRS patients had comparable short term efficacy and perioperative complications to younger patients, despite a higher prevalence of comorbidity. Age itself should not be considered as a risk factor for the development of complications in patients undergoing RIRS for renal stone.

Abstract
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) represents a model of respiratory degenerative chronic disabling disorder. In Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR), occupational approach is aimed at restoring patient's abilities at best in the social, familiar and working scenarios, and it is an essential part of a good PR Programme. To evaluate first occupational disability and then the occupational outcome of a PR programme, we need appropriate tools. London Chest Activity of Daily Living (LCADL) ed il Manchester Respiratory Activities of Daily Living (MRADL) are two questionnaires with such characteristics available in the literature. Our aim was to translate into Italian and adapt to the Italian social reality these two questionnaires. This may be a preliminary albeit necessary step to obtain reliable data on the occupational outcome of PR programmes in Italy.

Abstract
This study evaluates the outcome of proprioceptive rehabilitation in 18 patients who underwent knee joint prosthetic replacement using the dynamic electronic plate Pro-kin_machine. The proprioceptive performance was determined by having the patients trace a set of three outlines (horizontal, vertical and circular) using the foot of the operated limb. The measures of outcome parameters were: 1) time taken to do the test; 2) score of accuracy of the test measured in percentage. Tests were performed on admission, half way through rehabilitation and on discharge. Each patient had 15 sittings of physiotherapy. Our results demonstrate a significant improvement of both parameters at the end of the treatment. After prosthetic knee joint replacement, not only is it important to re-establish mechanical stability but also dynamic stability. The latter can be achieved through active virtual taping by the stabilizer muscles. Prompt management of instability of the joint in the rehabilitation phase is extremely important in the re-activating of the control mechanisms that are compromised by the surgical operation.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyse the evolution of motor performance in a group of patients who underwent surgical knee replacement. We also assessed patient satisfaction at 3 and 9 months after the operation. Sixty-two patients (40 women, 22 men, mean age 72.4 years) underwent isokinetic evaluation associated with surface EMG. All the patients had undergone a total prosthetic knee joint replacement for arthrosis, and had followed a standardised 30-day rehabilitation program at our centre for recovery of knee joint function, strengthening of the flexor-extensor muscles and restoration of ambulation as best as possible. Each of these patients underwent isokinetic evaluations 3 months and 9-10 months after their operation. The isokinetic test consisted of carrying out 5 flexion-extensions of the knee at an angular velocity of 60 degrees/second, followed by an endurance test of 30 repetitions of flexion-extension of the knee at 120 degrees/second. This isokinetic test provided data on extensor strength and flexor strength; furthermore, specifically designed software allowed simultaneous visualisation of the surface EMG tracing, torque and joint excursion. The first analysis showed a macroscopic decrease in the strength of the flexor-extensor muscles of the knee. This muscle weakness was clearly evident 3 months after the operation and was particularly pronounced for the extensor muscles of the operated limb compared with the muscles of contralateral, unoperated limb. Muscle weakness was still present 9 months after the operation although there had been a considerable improvement compared with 6 months previously; the imbalance in the flexor/extensor ratio, which differed from that in the contralateral, unoperated limb, was noted to be still present. The surface EMG demonstrated persistent myoelectrical activity in the flexors even when the extensor activity was predominant: this is an expression of imbalance between agonists-antagonists. A questionnaire administered to the patients about their satisfaction with the operation revealed that 9 months after the surgery 23 patients still complained of continuous joint pain with increased loads, 27 complained of frequent pain with load-bearing and only 12 no longer complained of any disturbance, manifesting full satisfaction with the operation. Total knee replacement is thus a valid treatment in those cases in which degenerative joint disease necessitates a radical solution. Nevertheless, dissatisfaction with the operation is common, and may be due to persistence of joint pain and incomplete joint recovery of joint function or muscle strength. In our series of patients, we found that although there was progressive recovery of strength of both the flexor and extensor muscles, a considerable imbalance remained between the operated and unoperated limbs; this finding was also confirmed by the surface EMG investigation.

Abstract
Screening a maternal Xenopus expression library for activities that synergize with low levels of injected beta-catenin, we have isolated a clone encoding the C-terminal end of x-beta TrCP-2, a highly conserved protein belonging to the F-box/WD40 family of ubiquitin-ligase specificity factors. We show that x-beta TrCP-2 expression reduces dorsal axis formation in Xenopus embryos. A dominant negative mutant lacking the F-box triggers the opposite effect, inducing secondary axes and activating the expression of Wnt responsive genes in ectodermal explants. In light of the existence of beta TrCP transcripts associated with the vegetal cortex, we propose that beta TrCP plays a fundamental role in the establishment of the dorsal determinants during cortical rotation in Xenopus.

Abstract
The cDNAs coding for the alpha and beta components of XrpFI, an activator of ribosomal protein genes transcription, were isolated. RNA analysis showed that transcripts of the beta genes are present at constant level throughout Xenopus development unlike the beta proteins which are undetectable in the early stages of embryogenesis when transcription is silent. On the contrary, alpha transcripts and proteins were found in all the embryo stages examined. The role of the XrpFI alpha and beta subunits in rp-gene transcription has been studied by mRNA microinjection into X.laevis oocytes. The presence of the beta subunit appears to be critical for the proper rp-gene promoter function.

Abstract
XrpFI, first identified in the extract of Xenopus laevis oocyte nuclei, binds to a proximal sequence of the L14 ribosomal protein gene promoter. Its target sequence, 5'-TAACCGGAAGTTTGT-3', is required to fully activate the promoter, and the two G's of the central motif are essential for factor binding and transcriptional activation; our data also suggest that XrpFI may play a role in cap site positioning. The binding site of XrpFI is homologous to the sequence recognized by the family of ets genes. Antibodies specific for Ets-1 and Ets-2 proteins did not react with XrpFI, but those raised against the rat alpha and beta GA-binding proteins both supershifted the retarded bands formed by XrpFI. The Xenopus polypeptides related to GA-binding protein alpha interact with DNA both as monomers and as heterodimers associated with beta-related proteins. Oocyte nuclei contain multiple forms of alpha- and beta-related proteins: the alpha-like proteins remain throughout development, while the pattern of the beta species changes in the embryonic stages examined. beta-like proteins are undetectable in the cleavage period up to the neurula stage, but at later stages, when ribosomal protein genes are actively transcribed, two beta-related polypeptides reappear.

Abstract
We studied the bronchodilator effect of a combination of fenoterol (100 micrograms) and ipratropium bromide (40 micrograms) (Duovent) versus salbutamol and placebo in 16 patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD). FEV1 and the side-effects (palpitations, tremors, excitation) were measured at 0, 30, 60, 120, 240, 360 and 420 min after administration. The drugs were administered in aerosol form following a randomization schedule. The bronchodilator effect of Duovent was greater than that of salbutamol; moreover, Duovent had a lasting efficacy and few side-effects. Duovent is thus a useful drug therapeutically.
