The soluble terminal complement complex (SC5b-9) up-regulates osteoprotegerin expression and release by endothelial cells: Implications in rheumatoid…
2009
Objective. Complement activation products contribute to a large number of inflammatory diseases, including RA. We have investigated whether osteoprotegerin (OPG) may concur with the soluble terminal complement complex (SC5b-9) to the inflammatory cascade characterizing RA. Methods. Levels of SC5b-9 and OPG in the plasma and SF of patients with active RA were determined by ELISA. The presence of SC5b-9 and OPG in RA synovial lesions was analysed by immunohistochemistry. Cultured endothelial cells were used for in vitro leucocyte/endothelial cell adhesion assays. In addition, endothelial cells were exposed to SC5b-9 in order to evaluate the effects on the production of OPG protein, as well as…

Drug Induced Liver Injury (DILI) due to variability in monacolin K content in Red Yeast Rice (RYR): An expert opinion
2020
Abstract Introduction Red yeast rice (RYR) is an effective cholesterol-lowering nutraceutical reversibly inhibiting 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-CoA (HMG-CoA) reductase. As liver damage is a possible (albeit rare) side effect of HMG-CoA inhibitors, it make sense to focus on the tolerability of the liver to RYR extracts. The aim of this paper is to offer an expert opinion on the risk of liver damage by the use of RYR extract. Methods A review of the available literature has been carried out and critically reviewed by the authors. Results According to a large meta-analysis of 53 randomized clinical trials comprising 112 treatment arms, which included 8535 subjects with 4437 in the RYR arm and …
Tra continuo e discreto. Recenti tendenze nella linguistica contemporanea

Matematica in sezione: tradizioni culturali, pedagogiche e didattiche vicine e lontane
2014
The Math Teaching at School means to reflect on the pedagogical and didactical traditions that are present in the classroom didactical practice; cultural references emerging since the first years of the kindergarden. This work claims to discuss a possible epistemic reflection on our way of working in School through a possible comparison with a didactic setting very different from ours, the Chinese one. We present the practice of variation, that can be found in textbooks as a significant methodology for the teaching/learning of the mathematical thought at Kindergarten and Primary School.
Eficacia de un programa de musicoterapia como tratamiento complementario a la intervención psicosocial en la recuperación de la esquizofrenia y otras…
2022
Esta tesis doctoral tiene como objeto de estudio evaluar la eficacia de un programa de musicoterapia grupal en personas diagnosticadas de esquizofrenia y otras psicosis que se aplica de manera complementaria al tratamiento usual en este grupo de personas para promover su recuperación. La esquizofrenia es el trastorno psicótico con mayor prevalencia y el más grave en términos de consecuencias para la persona que lo padece y su entorno. El tratamiento de los síntomas, la rehabilitación de los déficits cognitivos, la mejora del funcionamiento social y la calidad de vida en la esquizofrenia y otras psicosis se abordan mediante una estrategia integral que combina la psicofarmacología con las int…
