FUCILE DA PESCA SUBACQUEO A DUE FUSTI ORIZZONTALI CON ASTA SINGOLA O DOPPIA

Il brevetto ha per oggetto un fucile subacqueo caratterizzato da due aste, o arpioni, indipendenti che possono essere sparate separatamente. Un’altra variante dell’invenzione prevede una singola asta. Il brevetto presenta numerosi innovazioni che si traducono in significativi vantaggi funzionali rispetto ai fucili subacquei ad elastico attualmente sul mercato. Oltre ai numerosi benefici derivanti dalla possibilità del doppio sparo, lo schema costruttivo azzera le deformazioni dovute al carico esercitato dagli elastici in tensione di cui soffrono i tradizionali fucili subacquei ad elastico, ne consegue una elevata precisione del tiro anche con fusti di piccolo diametro, molto idrodinamici, r…

Thymidylate synthase gene promoter polymorphisms are associated with TSmRNA expressions but not with microsatellite instability in colorectal cancer

Abstract BACKGROUND: Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a biological characteristic of most tumours, being involved in 85% of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). It also occurs in 10-15% of sporadic colorectal cancers (CRC). HNPCC appears to be caused by germline mutations in mismatch repair (MMR) genes, which are responsible for repairing single base-pair mismatches. MSI is also associated with a better response of CRC to adjuvant chemotherapy with fluoropyrimidines. We investigated any relationship between the MSI status and the TSmRNA expression, the polymorphisms of 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU cellular target, the enzyme thymidylate synthase (TS) and TS expression evaluated by…

Different expression of thymidylate synthase in primary tumour and metastatic nodes in breast cancer patients.

BACKGROUND: To date an accurate evaluation of predictive markers in breast cancer is mainly conducted at the primary site, although the main goal of the adjuvant therapy is the control of micrometastases. Adjuvant therapy drugs need a high proliferative cell rate to be effective. The proliferating activity can be evaluated by the Ki-67 marker and even by thymidylate synthase (TS), a cell cycle enzyme present in proliferating cells. In this study the TS levels in primary tumours were compared to those of their metastases. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The TS expression and Ki-67 were evaluated by means of immunohistochemistry in 80 primary breast tumours (PTs) and in their matched axillary metastati…

Monitoraggio del ceppo starter Lactobacillus pentosus OM13 nella fermentazione delle olive da tavola (cv. “Nocellara del Belice”) con lavorazione sivigliana.

Obiettivo di questa ricerca . stato validare le attitudini tecnologiche alla trasformazione di olive da mensa cv. “Nocellara del Belice” da parte del ceppo Lactobacillus pentosus OM13. Lo starter Lb. pentosus OM13 ha dimostrato di dominare l’intero processo fermentativo e ha determinato un sensibile abbassamento del pH, inibendo cos. lo sviluppo di microrganismi potenzialmente patogeni e/o alterativi. All’inizio della sperimentazione e fino al 16¢X giorno di fermentazione, i lieviti hanno mostrato un incremento in entrambe le lavorazioni, con starter e di controllo, ma con un livello di carica microbica maggiore nella tesi di controllo. Nella fase di sperimentazione, successiva al 16¢X gior…

Aproximaciones para mejorar el crecimiento de bacterias lácticas iniciadoras OM13 durante las primeras etapas de producción de aceitunas verdes de mesa estilo español

The present research aimed at determining the optimal conditions for the lactic acid fermentation of green Spanish-style table olives. The work is a follow-up, and focuses on the performance of the commercial starter strain Lactobacillus pentosus OM13 by applying an acclimatization step and the addition of nutrients, and concentrations of lactic acid that were previously investigated. The acclimatization of the cells warranted the dominance of the starter culture even at an inoculation level of 2 Log cycles lower than that commonly used in standard fermentation. A significant effect was found in terms of acidification kinetics within the first week of fermentation, with the highest decrease…

The Italian dementia with Lewy bodies study group (DLB-SINdem): toward a standardization of clinical procedures and multicenter cohort studies design

Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) causes elevated outlays for the National Health Systems due to high institutionalization rate and patients' reduced quality of life and high mortality. Furthermore, DLB is often misdiagnosed as Alzheimer's disease. These data motivate harmonized multicenter longitudinal cohort studies to improve clinical management and therapy monitoring. The Italian DLB study group of the Italian Neurological Society for dementia (SINdem) developed and emailed a semi-structured questionnaire to 572 national dementia centers (from primary to tertiary) to prepare an Italian large longitudinal cohort. The questionnaire surveyed: (1) prevalence and incidence of DLB; (2) clinical…
