Abstract
Plastic microfibers (MF) represent the major source of MF found in the environment, the majority made of polyester (PES). Marine bivalves, suspension feeders widespread in coastal areas subjected to higher anthropogenic input, can accumulate MF from the water column in their tissues. This raised some concern about their possible impact on bivalve health and potential transfer along the food chain. In this work, the effects of PES-MF on the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis were investigated, utilizing MF obtained by cryo-milling of a fleece cover. Fiber characterization indicated the polymer composition as polyethylene terephthalate (PET); the size distribution was in a length range resembling that of MF released from textile washing, and including those that can be ingested by mussels. MF were first screened for short-term in vitro immune responses in mussel hemocytes. The effects of in vivo exposure (96 h, 10 and 100 μg/L, corresponding to about 150 and 1500 MF/mussel/L, respectively), were then evaluated. Data are presented on hemolymph immune biomarkers (Reactive Oxygen Species and nitric oxide production, lysozyme activity), and on antioxidant biomarkers (catalase and glutathione S-transferase) and histopathology in gills and digestive gland. Tissue MF accumulation was also evaluated. MF exposure stimulated extracellular immune responses both in vitro and in vivo, indicating induction of immune/inflammatory processes. In both tissues, stimulation of antioxidant enzyme activities, suggesting oxidative stress conditions, and histopathological changes were observed, with stronger effects often observed at lower concentration. Although mussel retained a very small fraction of MF, their accumulation was higher in the digestive gland than in gills, and in both tissues of mussels exposed to the lowest concentration. Selective accumulation of shorter MF was also observed, particularly in gills. Overall, the results demonstrate that at environmental exposure levels, PET-MF have a significant impact on mussel physiology, affecting multiple processes in different tissues.

Abstract
In the absence of standard methods for the detection/quantification of nanoplastics (NPs) in environmental samples, commercial nanopolymers are utilized as proxies for toxicity testing and environmental risk assessment. In marine species, a considerable amount of data are now available on the effects of nanopolystyrene (PS-NPs) of different size/surface characteristics. In this work, amino modified PS-NPs (PS-NH2) (50 and 100 nm), purchased from two different companies, were compared in terms of behavior in exposure media and of biological responses, from molecular to organism level, in the model marine bivalve Mytilus. Different PS-NH2 showed distinct agglomeration and surface charge in artificial sea water (ASW) and hemolymph serum (HS). Differences in behavior were largely reflected by the effects on immune function in vitro and in vivo and on early larval development. Stronger effects were generally observed with PS-NH2 of smaller size, showing less agglomeration and higher positive charge in exposure media. Specific molecular interactions with HS components were investigated by the isolation and characterization of the NP-corona proteins. Data obtained in larvae demonstrate interference with the molecular mechanisms of shell biogenesis. Overall, different PS-NH2 can affect the key physiological functions of mussels at environmental concentrations (10 µg/L). However, detailed information on the commercial NPs utilized is required to compare their biological effects among laboratory experiments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of age on the diagnostic assessment of women with severe cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). METHODS This retrospective observational study included 338 consecutive women with a diagnosis of CIN3 on cone specimen. Patients were divided into three groups according to age: < 35 years (Group A), 35-49 years (Group B), and ≥ 50 years (Group C). Clinical and colposcopic variables were compared, and human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype distribution was measured. RESULTS The most common HPV genotype was HPV-16 (63.65%), followed by HPV-33 (7%), HPV-18 (6.2%), and HPV-31 (5.4%). The rate of the following high-grade lesion predictors was lower in Group C than in Groups A and B: HPV-16 infections (55.9% vs. 75% vs. 70.9%, respectively, p = 0.022); high-grade colposcopic impression (29.4% vs. 51.8% vs. 51.7%, respectively, p < 0.0001); and high-grade cytological changes (30.9% vs. 56.2% vs. 45.4%, respectively, p = 0.025). An endocervical lesion location was more frequent in Group C than in Groups A and B (55.6% vs. 6.8% vs. 11.8%, respectively, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Women aged 50 years and older with CIN3 showed a significant reduction of high-grade lesion predictors along with physiological confounding cervical changes (transformation zone type 3 and endocervical lesion location). The diagnostic work-up of cervical lesions in older women should provide their potential consideration as a special population.

Abstract
High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV) are largely implicated in the carcinogenesis of cervical carcinomas. Their role in lung carcinomas, however, is still unclear. We describe the case of 44-year-old female chain-smoker with previous HPV-related cervical cancer and a new distant tumour in the lung after many years. The histologic distinction between metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix and another primary squamous cell tumour of the lung can be difficult and has important clinical implications. The aim of our study was to investigate whether HPV was present in both the patient's cervical cancer and her subsequent primary lung cancer in order to appropriately plan therapy. We tested both the paraffin-embedded tissue of the cervical cancer and the lung cancer for HPV DNA using the Qiagen HPV Sign Genotyping Test, which detected HPV16-DNA in both tumours. The Qiagen HPV Sign Genotyping Test is a reliable method to detect HPV-DNA in tissue and cytological materials, thus making it possible to distinguish metastatic cervical carcinoma from a new primary tumour in different sites.

Abstract
Within a multicentre controlled trial framework, an external quality control (EQC) was scheduled to evaluate the interlaboratory reproducibility of liquid-based cytology. In particular, this EQC intended to evaluate the reproducibility of the ASCUS diagnosis.A selected set of 30 slides (4 within normal limit cases, 16 atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance; 4 low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions and 6 high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions) circulated among the 13 laboratories involved in the trial.Kappa values were obtained from the comparison between individual laboratory diagnoses and majority diagnoses with target diagnoses. Specific kappa values resulted moderate to high for HSIL and low to moderate for LSIL and WNL. Meanwhile, the specific kappa for ASCUS was below 0.4 in 12 of 13 participating laboratories. The lack of reproducibility for ASCUS was not a result of the introduction of this new technology but rather to the low reproducibility of the ASCUS category itself stemming from intrinsic uncertainties in the reporting criteria.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the inter-laboratory reproducibility for atypical glandular cells (AGC) (The Bethesda System (TBS) 2001) of the laboratories involved in the screening programmes in Italy. METHODS A set of 35 selected slides were circulated among 167 laboratories involved in local population-based cervical screening programmes. Each laboratory provided one single diagnosis per smear. The smears were read blind to the original diagnosis and to the diagnoses provided by other laboratories. A 'majority' diagnosis was defined for each case and assumed as the reference standard. The diagnosis provided from each laboratory was compared with the majority diagnosis. RESULTS According to the majority report the 35 slides in the set were classified as negative in nine cases, AGC in eight, adenocarcinoma in eight, and squamous lesion or squamous + glandular lesion in 10. The crude agreement between all pairs of laboratories was 49.43%. K-values were 0.46, 0.21, 0.34, 0.36 and 0.32 for negative, AGC/AIS (adenocarcinoma in situ of endocervix), AdenoCa, Sq/Sq + Gl and all reporting categories respectively. Concordance according to overall K was moderate to substantial in 77% of the participating laboratories. CONCLUSIONS The present study shows that the AGC category is not easily reproducible. The data confirmed the importance, in a screening scenario, of AGC/AIS diagnoses, but also presented difficulties in differentiating between the two diagnoses. In addition to the results obtained from the circulation of the slides, laboratories which had annually a low number of cervical smears were able to gain experience focused on particular morphological pictures.

Abstract
The study was aimed at assessing interlaboratory reproducibility in the reporting of cervical smears in the atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) category. A set of 50 selected slides circulated among 89 laboratories, currently involved in population-based screening programmes for cervical cancer, which provided a diagnostic report according to four main reporting categories based on the 1991 Bethesda system. Interlaboratory agreement was determined according to kappa (K) statistics: overall and weighted K values were determined for each laboratory and for single reporting categories. The results showed a very low reproducibility for the ASCUS category. This finding supports the Bethesda system 1991 recommendation to limit the use of this reporting category and suggests that the clinical response to ASCUS reports should be decided locally, based on the observed positive predictive value for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2 or more severe lesions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of diet on energy intake, loss, and metabolism in foals 2 to 7 days old. ANIMALS 14 pony foals. PROCEDURE Group-A foals suckled their dams, group-B foals were fed milk replacer, and group-C foals were fed by total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Energy balance studies were performed over 8-hour periods on postpartum days 2, 4, and 7. RESULTS Mean gross energy (GE) intake of group-A foals increased between days 2 and 7. Approximately 3% of GE was excreted in urine and feces, and energy expenditure remained constant. These foals were in positive energy balance, and mean body weight increased. From day 4 onward, group-B foals consumed more energy than did group-A foals because the milk replacer had a higher energy content than did mares' milk. Mean energy loss in group-B foals was 14% of GE on day 2, but this value decreased subsequently. Energy expenditure in group-B foals was less than that in group-A foals, and energy balance was positive. Group-C foals had the lowest energy intake and expenditure; energy balance was negative on postpartum day 2. These foals also had gastrointestinal tract problems. CONCLUSIONS Mares' milk is highly digestible and is correlated with positive energy balance in neonatal foals. Milk replacer initially is less digestible than mares' milk. In this study, TPN was associated with negative energy balance. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The data indicate the advantages of enteral feeding with mares' milk and highlight the clinical and technical difficulties associated with TPN.

Abstract
We present an additional case of focal myositis which, after surgical excision of the muscular mass, did not evolve to generalized polymyositis. To our knowledge immunological evaluations of this disease have never before been carried out. Immunohistochemical analysis of the muscular mass showed the presence of activated endothelial cells, CD4 and macrophage cells in the perivascular and endomysial areas, suggesting an immune-mediated mechanism of muscular damage. At the same time the normal distribution of the peripheral blood lymphocyte subpopulations and the normal levels of serum IL-1 beta, IL-6, TNF-alpha, soluble IL-2R and soluble CD8 underline the non-systemic nature of the disease.

Abstract
Plasma progestagen concentrations were measured daily by radioimmunoassay (RIA) in 35 sick foals for the duration of their illness. The foals were divided into three groups on the basis of time to stand after birth. Foals were given intensive care treatment according to the severity of their illness. Plasma and urine concentrations of pregnenolone (P5) and pregnenediol (P5 beta beta) were measured by gas chromatography--mass spectrometry; plasma cortisol concentrations were measured by RIA and the foals' renal and respiratory status were assessed by creatinine clearance ratios and arterial oxygen concentrations respectively. Five patterns of plasma progestagen concentrations were identified; in general, values increased when the foal's clinical condition deteriorated and decreased as the foal improved. Median progestagen concentrations decreased over the first three days post partum in Group 1 foals but remained elevated in foals from Groups 2 and 3. Similar changes were observed in plasma P5 and P5 beta beta concentrations. Plasma cortisol concentrations were highest in foals from Groups 2 and 3 (P < 0.01) compared with foals from Group 1. Regardless of foal group, mean cortisol concentrations were highest (P < 0.001) in those foals treated with adrenocorticotrophic hormone compared with those treated with dexamethasone or with neither drug. There was no relationship (r2 = 0.21) between plasma cortisol and progestagen concentrations. Results from renal clearance, steroid conjugation and respiratory status suggest that these factors did not play a significant role in elevating progestagen concentrations in sick foals. It is hypothesized that there may be a relationship between adrenal stimulation and an enzyme block resulting in overproduction of P5 and P5 beta beta in the sick neonatal foal.
