Concentration of glutathione and expression of glutathione peroxidases 1 and 4 in fresh sperm provide a forecast of the outcome of cryopreservation o…
2004
Oxidative stress imbalance potentially leads to damage of the structure of the cell and macromolecules such as plasma membrane components, proteins, and DNA. The plasma membrane of the sperm cell, which has high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids, renders it particularly sensitive to free radical–mediated attacks. The freezing and subsequent thawing of sperm is a physically stressful process carried out during routine procedures in assisted reproduction techniques, which results in a highly variable and unpredictable reduction in the number of motile sperm cells. Subsequently, oxidative status can positively or negatively affect the motility, viability, and fertilizing capacity of thawed…
Current and New Insights in the Sustainable and Green Recovery of Nutritionally Valuable Compounds from Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni.
2015
International audience; The South American plant Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is a great source of noncaloric sweeteners (steviol glycosides), mainly concentrated in its leaves, but also has important antioxidant compounds (vitamin C, polyphenols, chlorophylls, and carotenoids) and other important macro- and micronutrients such as folic acid and all of the essential amino acids except tryptophan. Traditionally, conventional methods have been used to recover nutritionally valuable compounds from plant food matrices. However, nowadays, the need for obtaining greener, sustainable, and viable processes has led both food industries and food scientists to develop new processes in full correspondence…
Explaining the relationship between socially responsible products and the operations of the firm: The case of equine assisted therapy
2018
Abstract Although there is a growing interest in social responsibility in research as well as in practice, the majority of studies on corporate social responsibility do not explicitly investigate operations management issues when adopting socially responsible practices under the “people” pillar of sustainability. This paper, dealing with the theme of social responsibility in operations management, aims at clarifying the complex relationship between socially responsible product/service and the operations of the company. The empirical context of the study is the sport industry, where the attention to social issues is well established. We used a mixed theoretical-empirical approach to develop …
La supervisione: strumento di formazione continua per operatori di Comunità Terapeutiche Assistite.
2012
lavoro nelle organizzazioni sociali si presenta oggi complesso e oltremodo denso di criticità. La trasformazione dei quadri di riferimento normativi, la complessità socio-politica e le difficoltà legate agli specifici interventi incidono profondamente sui gruppi di lavoro che o-perano nel sociale, incrementando la già diffusa necessità di essere supportati. Il seguente lavo-ro, a tal fine, terrà fortemente in considerazione la ricchezza e la pluralità dei bisogni che gli operatori del sociale (cooperative, comunità, ecc.) esprimono, rimandando ad un’idea di “cura del loro sviluppo e della loro funzione” complessa e variegata (Basaglia, 1968). È in questa pro-spettiva che lo strumento della …

Robotic-Assisted Neck Dissection: Our Experience
2021
Abstract Introduction Robotic neck dissection surgery allows less invasiveness to significantly improve the aesthetic impact even though it does not compromise the principles of radical cancer procedure. Objective The aim of our work is to describe our personal experience with robotic neck dissection surgery. Methods A retrospective study was conducted by analyzing 10 patients subjected to a robotic neck dissection surgery. In the period from August 2012 to December 2018, these patients have been treated exclusively with robotic lateral-cervical dissection. Five of them were subjected to robotic-assisted transaxillary neck dissection (RATAND) and the other 5 treated with robotic-assisted re…
Microwave-assisted tandem cross metathesis intramolecular Aza-Michael reaction: an easy entry to cyclic beta-amino carbonyl derivatives.
2007
Hoveyda−Grubbs catalyst in combination with BF3·OEt2 efficiently promotes tandem cross metathesis intramolecular aza-Michael reaction between enones and unsaturated carbamates resulting in the creation of β-amino carbonyl units. The use of microwave irradiation dramatically accelerates the process, enhancing the synthetic utility of this methodology for the preparation of these types of derivatives. When enantiomerically enriched α-branched amines were used as starting materials, the process was also very efficient, although with modest selectivity in the newly created stereocenter. The use of microwave irradiation led to an interesting effect, inverting the selectivity in the addition proc…
Ultrasound assisted reductive cleavage of eudesmane and guaiane γ-enonelactones. Synthesis of 1α,7α,10αH-guaian-4,11-dien-3-one and hydrocolorenone f…
2001
Abstract Ultrasound enhances the rate of reductive cleavage of the C6–oxygen bond of sesquiterpene enonelactones. trans-Eudesmanolides 1c–1g, cis-eudesmanolides 2a–2c, and trans-guaianolides 4a–4d react with Zn in acetic acid–H2O under sonochemical conditions to afford the corresponding sesquiterpene acids 3a–3g and 5a–5d, respectively in good yields. Starting from 5d two natural guaianes 1α,7α,10αH-guaian-4,11-dien-3-one (6) and hydrocolorenone (7) have been prepared in good yields through a straightforward sequence.

ChemInform Abstract: Ultrasound-Assisted Reductive Cleavage of Sesquiterpene γ- Enonelactones.
2010
Abstract Ultrasound enhances the rate of reductive cleavage of the C 6 -oxygen bond of several cis - and trans - sesquiterpene γ-enonelactones. Interestingly ultrasound overrides the stereoelectronic requirements for the reductive cleavage of the most usually occurring sesquiterpene trans -lactones.
