Abstract
This paper aimed to evaluate the biological damages towards diseased cells caused by the use of MgO nanoparticles (NPs). The NPs are produced by a calcination process of a precursor, which is an aqueous suspension of nanostructured Mg(OH)2, in turn synthesized following our original, time-energy saving and scalable method able to guarantee short times, high yield of production (up to almost 10 kg/week of NPs), low environmental impact and low energy demand. The MgO NPs, in the form of dry powders, are organized as a network of intercrystallite channels, in turn constituted by monodispersed and roughly spherical NPs < 10 nm, preserving the original pseudo hexagonal-platelet morphology of the precursor. The produced MgO powders are diluted in a PBS solution to obtain different MgO suspension concentrations that are subsequently put in contact, for 3 days, with melanoma and healthy cells. The viable count, made at 24, 48 and 72 h from the beginning of the test, reveals a good cytotoxic activity of the NPs, already at low MgO concentrations. This is particularly marked after 72 h, showing a clear reduction in cellular proliferation in a MgO-concentration-dependent manner. Finally, the results obtained on human skin fibroblasts revealed that the use MgO NPs did not alter at all both the vitality and proliferation of healthy cells.

Abstract
This paper presents an original and sustainable method for producing ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) in response to global challenges (low energy requirements, low environmental impact, short production times, and high production yield). The method is based on an ion exchange process between an anionic resin and an aqueous ZnCl2 solution; it operates in one step at room temperature/ambient pressure without the need for complex apparatus or purification steps. From the kinetics, we observed the formation of pure simonkolleite, a zinc-layered hydroxide salt (Zn5(OH)8Cl2·H2O), after only 5 min of reaction. This compound, used elsewhere as a ZnO precursor after calcination at high temperatures, here decomposes at room temperature into ZnO, allowing extraordinary savings of time and energy. Finally, in only 90 min, pure and crystalline ZnO NPs are obtained, with a production yield > 99%. Several types of aggregates resulting from the self-assembly of small hexagonal platelets (solid or hollow in shape) were observed. Using our revolutionary method, we produced almost 10 kg of ZnO NPs per week without any toxic waste, significantly reducing energy consumption; this method allows transferring the use of these unique NPs from the laboratory environment to the real world.

Abstract
The increase in concrete structures' durability is a milestone to improve the sustainability of buildings and infrastructures. In order to ensure a prolonged service life, it is necessary to detect the deterioration of materials by means of monitoring systems aimed at evaluating not only the penetration of aggressive substances into concrete but also the corrosion of carbon-steel reinforcement. Therefore, proper data collection makes it possible to plan suitable restoration works which can be carried out with traditional or innovative techniques and materials. This work focuses on building heritage and it highlights the most recent findings for the conservation and restoration of reinforced concrete structures and masonry buildings.

Abstract
Consolidation of mural paintings in hypogea is challenging because of their severe microclimatic conditions, characterized by high humidity levels, low air circulation, the presence of salts efflorescence, and the detrimental growth of biodeteriogen agents. Traditional consolidant products show significant drawbacks when used in hypogeum. Organic compounds, such as acrylic emulsions, are bio-receptive and some inorganic consolidants, such as silica-based products, show a lack of compatibility with the original substrate, which could lead to a reduction in permeability and an increase in the mechanical resistance of the external layer. The presence of solvents in their formulations, particularly short-chain alcohols that can activate germination of fungal spores, leads to the release of great amounts of volatile organic compounds, which are particularly harmful in the hypogeic environment. To solve these problems, restorers of the Istituto Centrale per il Restauro (ICR) decided to use a new aqueous nanolime dispersion, NANOLAQ, consisting of pure and crystalline Ca(OH)2 nanoparticles dispersed in water, produced by an innovative and sustainable patented procedure. After laboratory testing, the product has been applied on site, on a medieval mural painting in the Ss. Peter and Paul hypogeum in the UNESCO site of Matera (Italy), monitoring the performance in terms of cohesion of the paint layer and preservation of aesthetic features.

Abstract
This work introduces an innovative, sustainable, and scalable synthesis of iron oxides nanoparticles (NPs) in aqueous suspension. The method, based on ion exchange process, consists of a one-step procedure, time and energy saving, operating in water and at room temperature, by cheap and renewable reagents. The influence of both oxidation state of the initial reagent and reaction atmosphere is considered. Three kinds of iron nanostructured compounds are obtained (2-lines ferrihydrite; layered-structure iron oxyhydroxide δ-FeOOH; and cubic magnetite), in turn used as precursors to obtain hematite and maghemite NPs. All the produced NPs are characterized by a high purity, small particles dimensions (from 2 to 50 nm), and high specific surface area values up to 420 m2/g, with yields of production >90%. In particular, among the most common iron oxide NPs, we obtained cubic magnetite NPs at room temperature, characterized by particle dimensions of about 6 nm and a surface area of 170 m2/g. We also obtained hematite NPs at very low temperature conditions (that is 2 h at 200 °C), characterized by particles dimensions of about 5 nm with a surface area value of 200 m2/g. The obtained results underline the strength of the synthetic method to provide a new, sustainable, tunable, and scalable high-quality production.

Abstract
Invisible orthodontic aligners (IOAs) have been introduced in the orthodontic field as an innovative alternative for fixed brackets, in relation to their ability to be easily inserted/removed from the oral cavity without affecting the chewing ability and the aesthetic of the patients. The paper provides a complete physicochemical and mechanical characterization of thermoplastic materials in the form of disks used for commercial IOAs. A wide palette of specific techniques is considered, from tensile tests and dynamic-mechanical analysis, to X-Ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR) analyses and water absorption tests. The disks are investigated before and after immersion into staining beverages (red wine, coffee, nicotine and artificial saliva), in terms of colour variations, transparency, and microscopic surface modifications by means of colorimetry, UV-VIS absorbance and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Among all the samples, polyurethane (PU) exhibited the highest crystallinity and the highest values of mechanical and thermal resistance, while the poly(ethylene terephthalate)-glycol (PETG) samples presented better transparency and less ability to absorb water. Moreover, red wine and coffee give noticeable colour variations after 14 days of immersion, together with a slight reduction of transparency.

Abstract
The paper represents the "state of the art" on sustainability in construction materials. In Part 1 of the paper, issues related to production, microstructures, chemical nature, engineering properties, and durability of mixtures based on binders alternative to Portland cement were presented. This second part of the paper concerns the use of traditional and innovative Portland-free lime-based mortars in the conservation of cultural heritage, and the recycling and management of wastes to reduce consumption of natural resources in the production of construction materials. The latter is one of the main concerns in terms of sustainability since nowadays more than 75% of wastes are disposed of in landfills.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to verify whether the CMI response of the host's lymphocytes is directed towards tumor-associated antigens (TAA) specific for each histological type of tumor. The leucocyte migration inhibition (LMI) test was selected for this purpose, utilizing the cancer patients' leucocytes and, as neoplastic antigens, formalin-fixed cells of surgically removed cancer tissue. Two hundred and eighteen patients were studied, 110 of whom were affected by breast cancer, 48 by digestive tract and 60 by laryngeal cancer. The total amount of tests performed was 278. The leucocytes of 93 normal subjects were tested against the different tissues' cancer antigens, as were the leucocytes of 41 patients with cancer of different organs tested against the corresponding normal tissues' antigens. The breast cancer patients (122 tests performed) showed 82.35 % positive tests against homologous antigen, 72.72 % and 95.24 % against heterologous (digestive tract and laryngeal cancer, respectively) antigens. The digestive tract cancer patients (69 tests performed) showed 70.27 % positive tests against homologous, 66.66 % and 43.48 % against heterologous antigens (breast and laryngeal cancer, respectively). The laryngeal cancer patients (87 tests performed) showed 74.29 % positive tests against homologous, 38.10 % and 80.65 % against heterologous antigens (breast and digestive tract, respectively). The results led to the conclusion that the LMI test response of cancer patients was not « tissue specific »: the test did not discriminate between the homologous and the heterologous cancer antigens, and it seems that the response was not directed towards specific TAA but only towards wide-range or « group » TAA, shared by several types of tumors.

Abstract
The study aims were 1) to assess the response of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) of cancer patients to exogenous Interleukin 2 (IL 2) either by PHA-prestimulated or non PHA-prestimulated PBL, and 2) to carry out preliminary experiments for a direct quantitative evaluation of endogenous IL 2 production by PBL cultures of cancer patients in order to define the actual role of IL 2 in the disease. Analysis of PBL subsets was also carried out with monoclonal antibodies in a selected group of patients. A total of 134 patients entered the study. Cancer sites were: larynx 32, breast 36, lung (NSC) 24, colorectal 17 and gynecologic 25. In the former 3 cancer sites staging showed localized or only locally advanced disease, and in the last 2 sites disseminated disease. Our results provided evidence that cancer patients exhibit a T-cell functional immunodepression, which progresses during tumor growth, so that the localized disease shows a low-grade defect, and advanced disease a high-grade defect. Our data also clearly suggested that the factor involved with a primary role in this functional immune impairment is the IL 2 deficiency. A perspective may be drawn on the therapeutic administration in vivo of IL 2 and IL 2-activated lymphokine-activated killer cells in controlled clinical trials of selected groups of cancer patients.

Abstract
Calcium hydroxide nanoparticles in hydro-alcoholic dispersion are introduced as an effective conservation material for carbonatic substrates, thanks to their promising carbonation efficacy in ambient air. However, the current methods to synthesize such dispersions are characterized by some drawbacks that strongly limit applications. The aim of this work is to investigate structure, morphology and carbonatation efficacy of calcium hydroxide nanoparticles in aqueous suspension, produced by our alternative and original method of synthesis, based on the use of an ion exchange resin. Actually, the method allows to produce pure, nanosized and reactive Ca(OH)2 particles, operating at room temperature, without intermediate steps to eliminate undesired compounds, drastically reducing the time, and with a potential ability to be easily scaled up to provide larger amounts of nanoparticles. By X-ray diffraction techniques, we have investigated reactivity of the synthesized nanoparticles, in relation to the carbonatation process in air, by varying the suspension concentration. Preliminary results on the kinetics of the carbonatation process are presented too. Morphological analysis, performed by transmission electron microscopy, shows both hexagonal particles, often quarries, of side dimensions less than 100 nm, and spherical particles (<50 nm).

Abstract
The present paper is focused on physico-mechanical pre-treatments of spent hydrotreating catalysts aimed at concentration of at least one of the valuable metals contained in such secondary raw material. In particular, dry Ni-Mo and Co-Mo as well as wet Ni-Mo catalysts were used. Flotation, grain size separation and attrition processes were tested. After that, a rods vibrating mill and a ball mill were used to ground the catalysts in order to understand the best mechanical pre-treatment before leaching extraction. The results showed that flotation is not able to concentrate any metals due to the presence of coke or other depressant compounds. The particle size separation produces two fractions enriched in Mo and Co when dry Co-Mo catalyst is used, whereas attrition is not suitable as metals are uniformely distributed in rings' volume. Roasting at 550°C and vibrating grinding are the most suitable pre-treatments able to produce fractions easily leached by NaOH and H(2)SO(4) after grain size separation.

Abstract
A glass ceramic composite was obtained by sinter-crystallisation of vitrified municipal solid waste bottom ashes with the addition of various percentages of alumina waste. The sintering was investigated by differential dilatometry and the crystallisation of the glass particles by differential thermal analysis. The crystalline phases produced by the thermal treatment were identified by X-ray diffraction analysis. The sintering process was found to be affected by the alumina addition and inhibited by the beginning of the crystal-phase precipitation. Scanning electron microscopy was performed on the fractured sintered samples to observe the effect of the sintering. Young's modulus and the mechanical strength of the sintered glass ceramic and composites were determined at different heating rates. The application of high heating rate and the addition of alumina powder improved the mechanical properties. Compared to the sintered glass ceramic without additives, the bending strength and the Young's modulus obtained at 20 degrees C/min, increased by about 20% and 30%, respectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The issue of whether or not liver function is compromised in the healthy elderly population remains unsolved. AIM To investigate the putative age-related modifications of hepatic function using the 13C-methacetin breath test. Because endogenous CO2 production changes with age, motor activity and nutrition, a different form of processing the results was investigated. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-nine elderly subjects (mean age, 79.8 +/- 7.9 years; female/male ratio, 17/12) and 28 adult subjects (mean age, 40.6 +/- 12.3 years; female/male ratio, 13/15) underwent 13C-methacetin breath test and trans-abdominal echosonography with Doppler pulsed wave analysis of the coeliac axis and portal vein. RESULTS Although the 13CO2 peak occurred within 15-30 min in both elderly and adult subjects, it was significantly decreased in the former (30.66% +/- 9.2% vs. 38.33% +/- 6.05%; P < 0.001), as was the cumulative excretion (33.07% +/- 7.06% vs. 39.81% +/- 5.68%; P < 0.001). When correcting for the effects of CO2 excretion by age, the age-related modification of the cumulative dose became more evident (elderly group 30.15% +/- 6.46% vs. adult group 37.97% +/- 5.92%; P < 0.0001). The elderly group also showed an increase in the intra-hepatic resistance index using Doppler pulsed wave analysis, which inversely correlated with the results of the breath test. CONCLUSIONS Hepatic function is not well preserved in healthy humans throughout life and may be due to an increase in vascular resistance.

Abstract
The hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) is the most frequent cause of hepatic infection in Europe. In Italy, anti-HCV positivity values are extremely variable, depending on the age and geographic location of the population being analysed. The aims of the study were: (1) evaluating positivity for anti-HCV antibodies in various age groups and determining the HBsAg in a mountainous and predominantly farming area in central Italy; (2) assessing some anamnestic and clinical variables through a questionnaire, submitted during the taking of blood samples, in order to determine HCV exposure and risk factors for the target population. 344 subjects selected by random sampling among 3308 people, older than 16, were considered as the target population. A prevalence study was carried out. The sources of data were: blood samples taken to carry out the HCV positivity test; a questionnaire including items about exposures at risk and case-historical and clinical patient data. The risk of infection was evaluated by a multiple logistic regression model. The inferred HCV+ prevalence rate is 22.4/100 (95% confidence interval (CI): 20.8-24.1). An increasing age trend is shown with a higher positive predominance among females (28.99/100 vs. 14.29/100 in males). The positive HBsAg prevalence in the examined survey is 1.2/100. Variables associated with the HCV occurrence are case history of pneumonopathy (OR: 4.9) and exposure to parenteral therapies with glass syringes (OR: 3.3). This study is consistent with literature about the hypothesis of a north-south geographic gradient in the hepatitis C occurrence in Italy. Data clearly show the effects of the inappropriate use of medical or surgery practices on the population, with particular reference to the use of glass syringes. No elements prove that the farming features of the area may be predictive of HCV infection risk. The extent of the recorded prevalence values calls for the implementation of programmes aimed at detecting clusters or population areas at risk.

Abstract
Malnutrition is a frequent condition, both widely represented in geriatric population and underestimated in diagnostic and therapeutic work-up, and is known to affect health status and life expectancy of elderly people. The unexpected weight loss is a pathological condition, recently classified in three different ways (sarcopenia, wasting and cachexia) according to criteria of nutritional intake, functional abilities and age-related body composition modifications, that is caused by social psychological and medical factors. In this review, the authors highlight the ways that, through malnutrition, could lead to an impairment of quality of life in elderly people. Notwithstanding the great impreciseness and confusion that surrounds the term 'quality of life', the authors focus their attention on the correlation existing with the recently occurring changes to patients' health status and life-style, analysing the relationship with frailty, failure to thrive and homeostatic balance failure syndrome. With the latter term, the authors introduce a pathological condition widely represented in the late stages of malnutrition that often evolves in multiple organ failure and lastly in the death.

Abstract
Ten healthy nonsmoking old men (age 52-70 years, OM) and ten healthy nonsmoking young men (age 20-30 years, YM) were submitted to an exercise test on a bicycle ergometer to examine the combined influence of aging and exercise-induced stress on platelet function. Data were analyzed by two-way ANOVA test to determine the statistical significance of differences between baseline, after exercise and after recovery values, and by Mann-Whitney test to compare differences between young and old groups. Our results show in OM at rest an increased platelet aggregability induced by the higher values of intraplatelet basal free calcium (143.3 +/- 4.8 vs. 121.5 +/- 6.0 nM, p < 0.05) and a statistically significant increase of plasma oxidative by-products evaluated as thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBA-RS: 5.9 +/- 0.7 vs. 1.5 +/- 0.1 micromol/l, p < 0.05). Further, significant modifications of calcium and TBA-RS levels were found in both groups because of exercise-induced stress. The positive relationships between calcium amount and plasma values of TBA-RS in OM before (r = 0.728, p = 0.017) and after (r = 0.772, p = 0.009) physical test and in YM only at the end of exercise (r = 0.853, p = 0.002), underline that oxidative stress may modulate platelet function by influencing calcium homeostasis and platelet membrane permeability.

Abstract
We report the characterization of a soft x-ray plasma source generated by a long-pulse XeCl excimer laser system. The output energy is 4 J at a wavelength of 308 nm in a 100-ns pulse. The intensity of radiation on target is estimated to be 4 × 1012 W cm-2. X-ray emission spectra of the plasma have been recorded using a double focusing spatial resolution spectrometer with a spherical mica crystal. From these measurements, the plasma temperature and electron density have been estimated. Various applications of such a plasma source have been investigated. First images of whole intact living cells from our system, imaged using the technique of soft x-ray contact microscopy, utilizing x rays in the "water window" region (280-530 eV), are shown. The suitability of the source for other applications, for example, x-ray lithography and radiation damage studies, to living cells are discussed. Possible improvements to the x-ray source for the various applications are proposed.

Abstract
The variations of lymphocyte subsets in chronic inflammatory and neoplastic diseases in an elderly population, have been previously reported. The different behavior of all the subsets that had shown significant variations of frequencies and absolute values within the groups with the Multivariate Analysis of Variance, have been studied. The use of the Discriminant Stepwise Analysis has given the chance to spot the discriminant subsets and their ability in discriminating the inflammatory and the neoplastic groups from each other and from the controls and finally in pointing out all the subsets which did not affect such differentiation.

Abstract
The authors report their experience with short-term (10 days) tenoxicam treatment in 20 patients with osteoarthritis at various localizations. The drug was administered at the following dosages: 20 mg twice daily for the first two days, and 20 mg daily for the following 8 days. Treatment proved effective in controlling pain and functional impairment. No dropouts due to side effects nor significant changes of laboratory parameters were observed. Therefore, tenoxicam may be considered an effective and well tolerated non steroid antiinflammatory agent for the treatment of active stages of osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Serum gastrin concentrations under basal conditions and following stimulation were assessed in 40 patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and compared with healthy individuals. The RA groups showed no significant differences in comparison with the control population. These conclusions lead the authors to seek the reasons for the rare instances of confirmed hypergastrinaemia in RA.
