Valutazione degli effetti di sistemi BAC e TBM sulle prestazioni energetiche
2018
Le prestazioni energetiche degli edifici dipendono non solo dall’aspetto termico ma anche da fattori elettrici come: • La presenza di generatori di energia elettrica o termica da Fonti di Energia Rinnovabile (FER) e sistemi di cogenerazione (CHP); • La presenza di sistemi di controllo automatico dell’edificio (BACS) e sistemi di gestione tecnica dell’edificio (TBM). Per promuovere l’efficientamento energetico degli edifici, gli Stati membri dell’Unione Europea hanno seguito diverse strade. In particolare, negli ultimi decenni diverse politiche di incentivazione hanno attuato finanziamenti locali di generatori da FER.
BMP7v induces cancer stem cells differentiation and enhances chemotherapy response in colorectal cancer
2014
Cancer stem cells (CSCs), characterized by high levels of ATP-binding cassette, anti-apoptotic molecules, active DNA-repair and slow replication capacities, surviving to conventional anti-cancer therapies, able to eradicate only the highly proliferating tumor cells, represent the elective target for new therapies. Colorectal CSCs (CR-CSCs) represent a powerful tool for preclinical validation of target therapies. In particular the elucidation of the mechanisms that govern stem cell survival and differentiation appears very essential for the identification of new molecular targets in cancer therapy. Among the molecules that govern these processes there are the Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMP…
Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Nutritionally Relevant Concentrations of Oleuropein and Hydroxytyrosol on Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells: An Age-Rel…
2023
: Immunosenescence and inflammaging facilitate the insurgence of chronic diseases. The Mediterranean diet is a non-invasive intervention to improve the chronic low-grade inflammatory status associated with aging. Olive oil oleuropein (OLE) and hydroxytyrosol (HT) demonstrated a controversial modulatory action on inflammation in vitro when tested at concentrations exceeding those detectable in human plasma. We studied the potential anti-inflammatory effects of OLE and HT at nutritionally relevant concentrations on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) as regards cell viability, frequency of leukocyte subsets, and cytokine release, performing an age-focused analysis on two groups of subj…
REPORT OF A CASE OF MALIGNANT TUMOR-LIKE GASTRIC LESION BY CANDIDA IN A DIABETIC TREATED WITH CYCLOSPORINE FOR PSORIASIS AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
2011
Mycotic infection of the alimentary canal are rare and usually involve the upper digestive tract. Mycetes, especially of Candida family, are habitual saprophytes in the digestive tract of healthy individuals. Under certain conditions, fungal flora may overgrowth, resulting in lesions of the digestive mucosa, which, rarely, might evolve to local diffusion and/or systemic lympho-hematogenous spreading. In the stomach, sometimes, mycotic infections may appear like benign gastric ulcers. we described a case of woman, aged 64, affected by psoriasis, in chronic treatment with cyclosporine and type 2 diabetes mellitus, a well-known immunosoppressive condition, with endoscopic evidence of ulcerated…
Calcium intake in the Mediterranean region
2014
A deficiency in calcium intake, is considered an important risk factor for the development of osteoporosis. Since the human body cannot produce calcium, individuals are recommended to maintain an adequate daily intake. The aim of the “Calcium Intake in the Mediterranean Region” Study is to evaluate the mean calcium intake in men and women between 40 and 80 residing in various areas of the Mediterranean basin. Enrolled subjects have been asked to fill out a self-administered questionnaire to evaluate the mean daily calcium intake from food, principle risk factors for osteoporosis were registered. A dual- energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) has also been carried out to evaluate bone mineral de…
