Una storia italiana: Giorgio e Isabella
2018
Si tratta, qui, della storia di due italiani dalla “pelle scura” raccontata, per Giorgio Marincola, da Carlo Costa e Lorenzo Teodonio in Razza partigiana e, per la sorella Isabella, da Wu Ming 2 e Antar Mohamed in Timira. Romanzo meticcio. Le loro vicende, così come molti altri aspetti della nostra storia coloniale, neocoloniale e postcoloniale, sono riemerse dal buio nel quale erano state occultate solo nell’ultimo quindicennio, grazie alla riapertura degli archivi che ha permesso di ridiscutere molti degli aspetti che nelle pagine di Storia, così come in quelle letterarie, erano stati raccontati in altro modo. I due testi, che hanno inevitabilmente finito per incontrarsi e che potremmo in…
Double traumatic diaphragmatic injury: A case report.
2019
Highlights • Diaphragmatic injuries are rare complications from trauma. • Bilateral diaphragmatic injuries are extremely rare and just a few cases are reported. • Sometimes the diagnosis is delayed or even missed. • Both primary repair or mesh repair are safe and feasible. • The use of a polypropylene mesh with titanized surface has not been attempted before.
Interleukin-4 induces secretion of CSF for granulocytes and CSF for macrophages by peripheral blood monocytes.
1989
Abstract T cells are known to interact cooperatively with monocytes to produce Colony-Stimulating Factors (CSF), although T cell-mediated signals leading to CSF secretion by monocytes are not completely understood. We have made use of Northern blot hybridization and specific bioassays to study the effects of the T cell product interleukin-4 (IL-4) on monocyte CSF expression. The results suggest a previously unrecognized role of IL-4 as a CSF inducer since exposure of monocytes to IL-4 resulted in accumulation of transcripts for granulocyte-CSF (G-CSF) and macrophage-CSF (M-CSF). Consequently, IL-4-activated monocytes released factors in their culture supernatants biologically and antigenica…
Does granulocyte-colony stimulating factor stimulate peripheral nerve regeneration? An experimental study on traumatic lesion of the sciatic nerve in…
2021
Aim of the study. To analyse the therapeutic potential of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) treatment using a rat model of traumatic sciatic nerve lesion. Clinical rationale for the study. G-CSF has proven strong neurotrophic properties in various models of ischaemic and traumatic brain injury. Fewer studies exist regarding the influence of G-CSF on posttraumatic peripheral nerve regeneration. Currently, the possibilities of pharmacological prevention or treatment of mechanical nerve injury are limited, and there is an urgent need to find new treatment strategies applicable in clinical situations. Material and methods . A controlled traumatic right sciatic nerve lesion was set u…
Des soldats noirs face au Reich: les massacres racistes de 1940
2015
International audience; Une « guerre pour la civilisation » germanique et pour l’Europe blanche : c’est ainsi que les nazis présentaient leur entreprise, qui avait également une dimension de revanche sur la Première Guerre mondiale et sur la « honte noire » infligée par les Français. En effet, depuis les années 1920, racistes et xénophobes allemands ne décoléraient pas : la France avait osé faire occuper le territoire de l’Allemagne par des soldats noirs, issus des troupes coloniales, et les nazis furent les plus virulents à le dénoncer. Lors de la campagne de France, en mai-juin 1940, environ trois mille de ces soldats coloniaux furent en conséquence assassinés, en dehors de toute action d…
Longitudinal analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis 19-kDa antigen-specific T cells in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis: association with disease…
2003
CD8(+) T cells play a central role in immune protection against infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. One of the target epitopes for anti-M. tuberculosis directed CD8(+) T cells is the HLA-A2-restricted 19-kDa lipoprotein peptide VLTDGNPPEV. T cell clones directed against this epitope recognized not only the nominal peptide ligand, but also a closely related peptide (VPTDPNPPEV) from the HIV envelope gp120 (HIV(env) gp120) protein characterized by IFN-gamma release. This cross-reactivity was confirmed in ex vivo in M. tuberculosis 19-kDa tetramer-sorted T cells from patients with tuberculosis and in HIVgp120 tetramer-reactive T cells sorted from HIV(+) patients. M. tuberculosis 19-kDa …
Transnationalism and Settlement of Latvian Emigrants in the Nordic Countries
2021
The intra-European migration flows have fostered debates about the intentions of migrants to settle in their destination country or return to their countries of origin. Based on a quantitative analysis of survey data ('N' = 1391), this article presents a typology of migration patterns among migrants from Latvia in the Nordic countries. Using two dimensions—attachment to the destination country and attachment to the country of origin—the article identifies and characterises the following four migration patterns: (1) bi-nationals, (2) settlers, (3) footloose migrants and (4) isolated migrants who focus on their country of origin and are willing to return (separated).
'Viva Alemania': internados alemanes de Camerún en España durante la Primera Guerra Mundial
2019
espanolUn episodio historico poco conocido en el ambito de las relaciones interculturales germano-espanolas y de los procesos migratorios, pero cuyas huellas son todavia palpables en la actualidad, es el de la internacion de la llamada Schutztruppe (fuerza militar colonial alemana) de Camerun en Espana durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Lo sorprendente en esta situacion de crisis politica se reflejo en el entusiasmo y la admiracion con que fueron recibidos en un primer momento los llamados “internados” alemanes en un pais supuestamente neutral y que se encontraba oficiosamente dividido entre aliadofilos y germanofilos. El ensayo es el resultado de una minuciosa busqueda de las huellas liter…

Mitos, significados y usos políticos: Hernán Cortés y Bartolomé de Las Casas en la crisis del Antiguo Régimen
2017
Las figuras históricas de Hernán Cortés y Bartolomé de Las Casas han adquirido diferentes valoraciones y significados a lo largo del tiempo. Historiarlos en el contexto de la crisis del Antiguo Régimen es uno de los principales objetivos que se ha pretendido alcanzar en esta tesis doctoral. Alrededor de ambos personajes se han construido diversas corrientes de opinión que han dado lugar a una compleja mitología histórica, teñida con el negro y el dorado de la Leyenda, aún vigente en nuestros días. En un momento histórico de debate intelectual sobre el mundo americano, de crisis colonial y críticas contra la monarquía española, atenderemos a dos de las representaciones que adquirieron especi…
