Abstract
Although much less common than anthocyanins, 3-Deoxyanthocyanidins (3-DAs) and their glucosides can be found in cereals such as red sorghum. It is speculated that their bioavailability is higher than that of anthocyanins. Thus far, little is known regarding the therapeutic effects of 3-DAs and their O-β-D-glucosides on cancer, including prostate cancer. Thus, we evaluated their potential to decrease cell viability, to modulate the activity of transcription factors such as NFκB, CREB, and SOX, and to regulate the expression of the gene CDH1, encoding E-Cadherin. We found that 4',7-dihydroxyflavylium chloride (P7) and the natural apigeninidin can reduce cell viability, whereas 4',7-dihydroxyflavylium chloride (P7) and 4'-hydroxy-7-O-β-D-glucopyranosyloxyflavylium chloride (P3) increase the activities of NFkB, CREB, and SOX transcription factors, leading to the upregulation of CDH1 promoter activity in PC-3 prostate cancer cells. Thus, these compounds may contribute to the inhibition of the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in cancer cells and prevent the metastatic activity of more aggressive forms of androgen-resistant prostate cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Theory of mind (ToM) is the human ability to perceive, interpret, and attribute the mental states of other people, and the alteration of this cognitive function is a core symptom of autistic spectrum disorder (ASD). In such other neurodevelopmental disorders as childhood-onset obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and Tourette syndrome (TS) that can present with cognitive dysfunctions, ToM has been less extensively studied, especially in the young population. The aim of the study was to compare advanced ToM between groups of young people diagnosed with OCD, TS, or ASD and a control group. METHODS Clinical interviews were conducted with male patients aged between 11 and 17 years with a main diagnosis of OCD (n = 19), TS (n = 14), or ASD (n = 18), and a control group (n = 20). We administered instruments for estimating intelligence quotient and severity of psychiatric symptoms, and tasks to evaluate ToM (the "Stories from everyday life" task and the "Reading the mind in the eyes" test). RESULTS Young people with TS and with ASD present similar difficulties in solving advanced ToM tasks, whereas patients with childhood-onset OCD present similar results to controls. CONCLUSIONS ToM is altered in other neurodevelopmental disorders beyond ASD, such as TS.

Abstract
Olive pomace is the main by-product generated by the olive oil production process. Although toxic to the environment, olive pomace is an important source of natural antioxidants due to its high content of phenolic compounds. The aim of the current study is to maximize the extraction yields of the main phenolic compounds present in olive pomace using innovative green technologies. For this purpose, the present work is divided into two parts. The first part is based on a solubility study of targeted phenolic compounds in various ethanol/water ratios at two different temperatures (20 °C and 50 °C). A computational prediction using COSMO-RS software was applied for the calculation of eventual solubility, which was subsequently confirmed by practical experiments. The determination of the optimal extraction conditions of solvent ratio (EtOH/H2O) (60:40 v/v) and temperature (50 °C) led to the second part of the work, which concerns the intensification of extraction yields. Furthermore, various green extractions using innovative technologies, including accelerated solvent extraction (ASE), ultrasound with its both system (probe (UAE-P) and bath (UAE-B)), bead milling (BM) and microwave (MAE), were carried out and then compared to conventional maceration (CM). Results showed that ASE was the most effective method for extracting phenolic compounds from dried olive pomace powder (5.3 milligrams of tyrosol equivalent (TE) per gram of dried olive pomace powder (DOP)) compared to CM (3.8 mg TE/g DOP).

Abstract
AIM This study aims to evaluate the dental dimension in cleft lip and palate patients presenting agenesis of at least an upper lateral incisor and to compare the results with those of two control groups. A control group consisted of general orthodontic patients without agenesis, while the other group consisted of orthodontic patients with agenesis of at least one upper lateral incisor. METHODS Records of 40 (30 male, 10 female) cleft lip and palate patients (Group A), 40 (17 male, 23 female) patients representing the control group of general orthodontic patients (Group B) and 40 patients (14 male, 26 female) with at least one missing lateral incisor (Group C) were collected and analysed. Mesiodistal tooth size of all teeth (except second and third molars) was measured on digital or plaster dental casts. RESULTS Tooth size in cleft lip and palate patients (Group A) was similar to that of the control group (Group B) of general orthodontic patients without tooth agenesis, except for the upper central incisors and the second upper left bicuspids that presented a significant reduction in the mesiodistal dental width. Non-syndromic patients with at least one missing upper lateral incisor showed a significant reduction of mesiodistal tooth size compared to Group A and to Group B. CONCLUSION Dental width of cleft lip and palate patients is similar to that of a normal orthodontic population, with the exception of the upper central incisor and upper premolars on one side.

Abstract
The correction of anterior open bite in the mixed dentition: treatment or over-treatment? Early treatment of the anterior open bite is a common, widespread treatment, which involves sometimes multiple clinical procedures: active orthodontic treatment and correction of the dysfunctional habits with a large waste of financial and biological costs. Therefore, also considering the significant possibility of self-improvement in the pre-pubertal phase, active early treatment should not aim to the active correction of the AOB, but only to other aspects of the malocclusion and to the interception of dysfunctional habits.

Abstract
Abstract
Background:
Post-operative accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) has demonstrated efficacy in preventing in-breast tumor recurrence. Pre-operative administration of APBI may be advantageous as an intact breast tumor is smaller than its corresponding lumpectomy cavity, is easier to distinguish on treatment-planning images, and results in smaller and more accurately delineated target volumes. Pre-operative APBI may reduce the incidence of positive margins following breast-conserving surgery (BCS). Investigation is needed in the correlation of MR imaging with pathologic response 6 weeks after SABR. Also, evidence suggests that SABR induces immune activation in the tumor microenvironment; evaluation of excised tumor tissue will give insight into these processes.
Trial Design:
Treatment Planning and Delivery: CT simulation and treatment are performed in the prone position. Diagnostic MRI is fused to planning CT. GTV is delineated on registered breast MRI and includes the intact breast tumor. CTV is 15mm expansion of GTV. PTV is 3 mm expansion of CTV. VMAT or IMRT are permitted. Daily image-guidance aligning to tumor and biopsy-fiducial is mandatory. All subjects undergo pre-operative SABR to 28.5 Gy in 3 fractions of 9.5 Gy on different days separated by ≤48 hours. CTCAE v4 is used to assess toxicity 4-5 weeks after SABR. Pre-operative diagnostic MRI is performed 5-6 weeks following SABR. Imaging parameters to be evaluated include changes in tumor size, enhancement, and tumor margin description. BCS will be 6-8 weeks following SABR.
Tissue pathology: Margin status and degree of pathologic response are recorded from breast-conserving excisions, specimens are archived for future analysis.
Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion criteria are women age ≥50 with biopsy proven invasive breast adenocarcinoma with tumor size ≤2cm on MRI, cN0 M0, ER+/HER2-, without history of invasive malignancy or prior breast/thoracic radiotherapy.
Exclusion criteria are active scleroderma or lupus erythematosus with skin involvement, MRI defined tumor within 10 mm of skin, implanted hardware prohibiting appropriate treatment planning or delivery, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, carrier of BRCA1 or 2 gene mutation, pregnancy.
Specific Aims:
The primary endpoint is pathologic complete response (pCR) in the breast tumor, secondary endpoints are incidence of adequate surgical margins (defined as “no tumor on ink”) and MRI response following SABR. Analyses of tumor immune response and microenvironment on pathologic specimens following SABR will also be performed.
Statistical Methods:
Fisher's exact test will be performed to examine associations between patient/tumor characteristics and pCR and surgical margins; these associations will be explored with multivariable logistic and linear regressions.
Accrual:
Present accrual is 9 subjects.
Expected accrual is 22 subjects; if ≥3 pCR are noted in the initial cohort, accrual will be expanded to 40 subjects.

Abstract
Summary
Objectives:
The objective of this paper was to face the complex spatio-temporal dynamics shown by Magnetoencephalography (MEG) data by applying a nonlinear distributed approach for the Blind Sources Separation. The effort was to characterize and differentiate the phases of a yogic respiratory exercise used in the treatment of obsessive compulsive disorders.
Methods:
The patient performed a precise respiratory protocol, at one breath per minute for 31 minutes, with 10 minutes resting phase before and after. The two steps of classical Independent Component Approach have been performed by using a Cellular Neural Network with two sets of templates. The choice of the couple of suitable templates has been carried out using genetic algorithm optimization techniques.
Results:
Performing BSS with a nonlinear distributed approach, the outputs of the CNN have been compared to the ICA ones. In all the protocol phases, the main components founded with CNN have similar trends compared with that ones obtained with ICA. Moreover, using this distributed approach, a spatial location has been associated to each component.
Conclusions:
To underline the spatio-temporal and the nonlinearly of the neural process a distributed nonlinear architecture has been proposed. This strategy has been designed in order to overcome the hypothesis of linear combination among the sources signals, that is characteristic of the ICA approach, taking advantage of the spatial information.

Abstract
AIM The present study aimed to evaluate the cephalometric effects of a headgear anchored to the deciduous second molars in the early mixed dentition. MATERIALS AND METHODS Study design: The study followed a retrospective longitudinal design and enrolled 31 consecutive patients (17 females and 14 males) treated with high pull (HP) headgear anchored to the deciduous second molars, average age 8y 5m± 5m at pre-treatment time (T0) and 9y 8m± 6m at post-treatment time (T1). All the patients wore the headgear for approximately 8-10 hours at night, with a force of 250 g per side. The active phase of treatment ended once patients obtained a distal step on permanent molars of at least 2 mm. Lateral cephalograms at T0 and T1 were taken; 10 angular measurements were chosen as variables of the study. The paired sample t-test was employed to assess the significance of the differences of each variable between T0 and T1. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION In this group of Class II patients, HP headgear anchored to the deciduous second molars in the early mixed dentition produced: significant reduction of SNA angle, significant increase of SN/NL angle with no significant change in SN/ML angle, significant labial flaring of upper incisors. As clinically evaluated, the correction of the Class II occlusal relationship and the anterior crowding of maxillary arch were also accomplished.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the reaction of untouched permanent molars following RPE, anchored on deciduous teeth in the early mixed dentition, aimed to solve maxillary anterior crowding in the absence of posterior cross-bite. METHODS A prospective clinical trial comprised 35 consecutive patients (20 males and 15 females) treated by the same orthodontist (MR). All patients showed crowding of the upper permanent incisors in the early mixed dentition in the absence of posterior cross-bite. RPE was anchored on second deciduous molars and on the deciduous canines. CBCT was taken before and after the removal of the RPE appliance. The transverse linear changes in width and the variation in the torque of the permanent molars were measured in the coronal plane. RESULTS Relief of incisor crowding was found in all patients. The transverse width between permanent molars increased significantly. The apices of the upper permanent molars spontaneously expanded more than the crowns, while the opposite happened on the lower permanent molars. Moreover, the untouched upper permanent molars spontaneously uprighted palatally, while the lower permanent molars spontaneously uprighted buccally. The variation in the torque of the permanent molars mirrored transverse normal growth. CONCLUSIONS In the early mixed dentition and in the absence of posterior cross-bite, it is possible to expand transversally the palate while uprighting the upper permanent molars in the opposite direction. RPE anchored on the deciduous teeth in the early mixed dentition, in the absence of posterior cross-bite, provides an "anticipation of transverse growth" and could be indicated to expand the anterior portion of the maxillary arch perimeter to solve upper incisor crowding.

Abstract
La valutazione non invasiva della dominanza emisferica per il linguaggio è una delle più promettenti applicazioni cliniche della risonanza magnetica funzionale, specie nei pazienti destinati alla neurochirurgia. In questo studio sono state eseguite due prove linguistiche in un gruppo di giovani volontari sani (8 destrimani, 12 non destrimani): una di fluenza fonemica ed una di associazione semantica. Tra i voxels statisticamente attivati nei due emisferi sono stati calcolati tre indici di asimmetria (emisferico, frontale e temporoparietale) in ogni soggetto e per ogni prova. Nel complesso, la prova di fluenza fonemica attivava fortemente il lobo frontale, mentre la prova di associazione semantica determinava un pattern di attivazione piu distribuito, che comprendeva anche il giro temporale medio ed il giro angolare. Per quanto riguarda gli indici di asimmetria, nei destrimani quello emisferico e quello frontale indicavano sempre l'attivazione prevalente dell'emisfero sinistro. Un solo soggetto ambidestro ha presentato nella prova di fluenza fonemica indici di asimmetria emisferico e frontale espressivi di lateralizzazione destra. D'altra parte, l'indice di asimmetria temporoparietale deponeva per una lieve revalenza dell'emisfero destro in un destrimane ed per una chiara lateralizzazione destra in un non destrimane. La risonanza magnetica funzionale appare dunque metodica sensibile ed appropriata nella valutazione della dominanza emisferica per il linguaggio. L'impiego di indici di asimmetria lobari può meglio evidenziare il differente contributo alla dominanza emisferica delle aree frontali rispetto a quelle temporoparietali. Infine, l'individuazione delle aree corticali correlate con la funzione linguistica è uno strumento potenzialmente utile per il neurochirurgo nel programmare resezioni di aree limitrofe.

Abstract
The development of oral dosage forms that allows absorption of therapeutic peptides to the systemic circulation is one of the greatest challenges for the pharmaceutical industry. Currently, a number of technologies including either mixtures of penetration enhancers or protease inhibitors and/or nanotechnology-based products are under clinical development. Typically, these formulations are presented in the form of enteric-coated tablets or capsules. Systems undergoing preclinical investigation include further advances in nanotechnology, including intestinal microneedle patches, as well as their combination with regional delivery to the colon. This review critically examines four selected promising oral peptide technologies at preclinical stage and the twelve that have progressed to clinical trials, as indicated in www.clinicaltrials.gov. We examined these technologies under the criteria of peptide selection, formulation design, system components and excipients, intestinal mechanism of action, efficacy in man, and safety issues. The conclusion is that most of the technologies in clinical trials are incremental rather than paradigm-shifting and that even the more clinically advanced oral peptide drugs examples of oral bioavailability appear to yield oral bioavailability values of only 1-2% and are, therefore, only currently suitable for a limited range of peptides.

Abstract
Older people are high consumers of medicines, but despite this they have often been excluded from clinical trials. Reasons for exclusion have frequently been poorly justifiable, and have included predefined arbitrary upper age limits, lists of different comorbidities, polypharmacy or physician/patient/family preference. This selection bias is even more evident for the frail older adults. Consequently, the evidence base in this age group is often limited at the time of market authorisation. The benefit/risk analysis for the frail older adult may well be different from that of younger people, and a lack of data may result in inappropriate prescribing.

Abstract
AIM Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is an autosomal recessive congenital malformation syndrome caused by an inborn error of cholesterol biosynthesis. The incidence is around 1:20000-1:70000. SLOS phenotype is very broad: severe phenotypes show exitus in perinatal period while milder phenotypes only show behavioral and learning problems. The purpose of this study is to further contribute to the delineation of a cognitive and behavioral phenotype in SLOS. METHODS Nine patients with SLOS aged between 22 months and 25 years have been followed at the Department of Pediatrics, University of Naples "Federico II" for 2 years. A neuropsychologic study has been carried out in order to assess motor development, adaptive skills, social behavior, communication and language, temperament, aggressive behavior, symptoms typical of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). RESULTS The overall assessment of cognitive/behavioral phenotype showed severe / profound mental retardation in most of them (8/9) with a quite homogeneous neuropsychological profile. The language area was deficient both in expressive and receptive skills. Adaptive skills were in line with mental development. The presence of behavior problems (self-injury and stereotypies) was detected in 6 patients. The study of temperament showed a trend towards a sedentary lifestyle, lack of inhibition against novelty and danger, and reduced interest in the stimuli. None of our patients could be diagnosed as having ASDs. CONCLUSION Although a specific behavioral phenotype for SLOS has gained support in the literature, we believe that many of the features described in individuals with SLOS are common to other mental retardation syndromes.

Abstract
Human epidermis is continuously exposed to environmental mutagenic hazard and is the most frequent target of human cancer. How the epidermis coordinates proliferation with differentiation to maintain homeostasis, even in hyperproliferative conditions, is unclear. For instance, overactivation of the proto-oncogene MYC in keratinocytes stimulates differentiation. Here we explore the cell cycle regulation as proliferating human keratinocytes commit to terminal differentiation upon loss of anchorage or overactivation of MYC. The S-phase of the cell cycle is deregulated as mitotic regulators are inhibited in the onset of differentiation. Experimental inhibition of mitotic kinase cdk1 or kinases of the mitosis spindle checkpoint Aurora B or Polo-like Kinase, triggered keratinocyte terminal differentiation. Furthermore, hyperactivation of the cell cycle by overexpressing the DNA replication regulator Cyclin E induced mitosis failure and differentiation. Inhibition of Cyclin E by shRNAs attenuated the induction of differentiation by MYC. In addition, we present evidence that Cyclin E induces DNA damage and the p53 pathway. The results provide novel clues for the mechanisms committing proliferative keratinocytes to differentiate, with implications for tissue homeostasis maintenance, HPV amplification and tumorigenesis.

METHODS We reviewed the medical records of 345 patients with IMDs followed at the Metabolic Diseases Unit of our Department of Pediatrics and found the presence of an epileptic syndrome in 45 cases. An overview is given based on various criteria such as pathogenetic background, seizure type, age of onset, EEG, neuroimaging data, treatability. Seizure types were: focal (24 patients), generalized (13 patients), febrile (3 patients), and hypoglycemic (8 patients with glycogenoses). Some patients presented with more than one type of seizures. Age of onset was mainly during the first year of life (N.=19), between 2 and 6 years in 13 patients, and after the 6th year in 9 patients. RESULTS Available EEGs showed either focal (N.=21) or generalized epileptiform abnormalities (N.=11); multifocal paroxysms were evident in 3 patients while the remaining 3 patients had normal findings. Available neuroimages (CT/MRI) showed either normal findings (N.=6) or white matter abnormalities (N.=6), cerebral and/or cerebellar cortical atrophy (N.=11), hydrocephalus (N.=1), corpus callosum hypoplasia (N.=2), pontocerebellar hypoplasia (N.=1), gliosis in trigone area (N.=4). Most patients showed a favorable response to antiepileptic treatment (AEDs) with either complete control or reduced seizure frequency. CONCLUSION IMDs are a relatively rare cause of epilepsy in children but their diagnosis is very important with respect to treatment, prognosis and genetic counselling.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Haas RPE anchored on deciduous teeth in the early mixed dentition, for inducing the spontaneous correction of permanent incisor's crossbite, without compliance, without post bite-plane and no involvement of the permanent teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sample group comprised 50 consecutive patients (mean age 8y 5m, SD 2y 1m), 31 males, 19 females. They showed a cross-bite affecting one or more permanent incisors, for a total of 70 teeth. The patients were treated with Haas RPE appliance anchored on second deciduous molars and bonded on deciduous canines. No direct forces were applied on the permanent teeth. RESULTS Anterior crossbite self-corrected 'spontaneously' in 84% of the cases. Lateral incisors had a higher rate of self-correction than central incisors. All hyper-divergent subjects showed a spontaneous crossbite self-correction. CONCLUSION The early maxillary expansion by Haas RPE anchored on deciduous teeth is an efficient and effective procedure to induce the anterior crossbite self-correction in the early mixed dentition without the need of a bite-plane, no involvement of the permanent teeth and without compliance.

Abstract
PURPOSE evaluate the psychomotor evolution of a child with Multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency after treatment with L-carnitine, ubiquinone and riboflavin. METHODS an assessment of psychomotor development was performed before the start of farmacological treatment using the Assessment Scale of Mental Development Griffiths (GMDS-R, 0-2 years). The same assessment was performed after a month and after six months of treatment to evaluate the possible benefits of treatment. RESULTS we noticed a quick and dramatic improvement in muscular tone and motor performances after pharmacological treatment. We also observed a substantial improvement in the personal/social and hearing/language areas, suggesting the presence of intellectual/cognitive improvement. The clinical improvement correlated with the biochemical response. CONCLUSION In our patient early therapy resulted in a optimal response in psychomotor development, motor function and muscole hypotonia. Evaluation with GMDS-R, a simple, non-invasive and multidimensional tool, represents a useful instrument to monitor the clinical response to treatment.

Abstract
The authors reviewed the diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and tractography (DTT) of the normal brainstem and cerebellar white matter in normal volunteers, correlating it with structural magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and DTI data obtained in patients evaluated in our institution with movement disorders, including multisystem atrophy (MSA), spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA), progressive supra-nuclear palsy (PSP) and idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD). DTI and tractography data demonstrated major white-matter fibers within the brain stem and cerebellum, including cortico-spinal tracts, transverse pontine fibers, medial lemniscus and cerebellar peduncles. Visualization of selective degeneration of these individual fibre tracts with DTI, in our cases, added qualitative data to the differential diagnosis of movement disorders.

Abstract
AbstractThe design of a novel spectrometer based on a thin film diode in combination with an electro statically tunable micro machined mirror will be presented. The semi transparent diode is introduced into a standing wave created in front of a reflector to sample the profile of the standing wave. Varying the position of the reflector results in a shift of the phase of the standing waves and thus in a change of the optical generation profile within the detector. The spectral information of the incoming light can be determined by the Fourier transformation of the transient response of the sensor. An analytical optical model will be presented which facilitates the evaluation of different detector concepts. The model will be applied to discuss different device designs regarding the resolution of the spectrometer, the spectral range and the linearity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Primary squamous cell carcinomas of the thyroid gland are extremely rare, comprising about 1% of thyroid malignancies. Although squamous cell carcinomas are readily identified as such on aspiration cytology in the majority of cases, the differentiation of primary versus metastatic tumour might not always be easy. Herein, we report three cases of squamous cell carcinomas involving the thyroid gland. METHODS Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) was performed in three patients with a thyroid mass using standard guidelines. Smears were stained with Diff-Quik and Papanicolaou stains. RESULTS Two patients were male and one was female, aged 59, 45 and 35 years, respectively. In all three patients a thyroid mass was present. FNAC smears in all cases showed cytological features of squamous cell carcinoma including keratinization and necrosis. After clinical and cytological correlation, one case appeared to be primary, one case metastatic, and in the third case no additional clinical information or biopsy follow-up was available for further characterization. CONCLUSIONS Because primary squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid is a rare finding, metastatic squamous cell carcinoma should always be excluded first. Metastatic disease usually presents in the setting of widespread malignancy, therefore a dedicated clinical and radiological investigation is necessary in these cases. In both clinical scenarios the patient's prognosis is poor.
