A second pathway of activation of the Torpedo acetylcholine receptor channel
1991
We have studied the interaction of the reversible acetylcholine esterase inhibitor (-)physostigmine (D-eserine) with the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) from Torpedo marmorata electric tissue by means of ligand-induced ion flux into nAChR-rich membrane vesicles and of equilibrium binding. We find that (-) physostigmine induces cation flux (and also binds to the receptor) even in the presence of saturating concentrations of antagonists of acetylcholine, such as D-tubocurarine, alpha-bungarotoxin or antibody WF6. The direct action on the acetylcholine receptor is not affected by removal of the methylcarbamate function from the drug and thus is not due to carbamylation of the receptor…
Global Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Cerebral Venous Thrombosis and Mortality
2022
[Background and Purpose] Recent studies suggested an increased incidence of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We evaluated the volume of CVT hospitalization and in-hospital mortality during the 1st year of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the preceding year.
La Llegenda del cor menjat al Decameró de Boccaccio: Estratègies de traducció al català
2013
Resum: El grau d’intervencio del traductor determina l’acostament del text al lector. Amb la comparacio de les quatre traduccions catalanes de La llegenda del cor menjat , el conte nove de la quarta jornada del Decamero de Giovanni Boccaccio, es pot comprovar que cada traductor utilitza estrategies diferents per mirar de resoldre un mateix problema de traduccio. A mes del bagatge cultural i la subjectivitat de cada un d’ells, cal tenir en compte un seguit de factors (temporals, historics, referencials, lingu?istics, socials, etc.) que determinen el resultat final. Paraules clau: llegenda; cor; menjat; Decamero ; Boccaccio; estrategia de traduccio Abstract: The extent to which translators in…
The oxidation state of a protein observed molecole-by-molecule.
2005
We report the observation of the redox state of the blue copper protein azurin on the single-molecule level. The fluorescence of a small fluorophore attached to the protein is modulated by the change in absorption of the copper center via fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). In our model system, the fluorescence label Cy5 was coupled to azurin from Pseudomonas aeruginosa via cysteine K27C. The Cy5 fluorescence was partially quenched by the absorption of the copper center of azurin in its oxidized state. In the reduced state, absorption is negligible, and thus no quenching occurs. We report on single-molecule measurements, both in solution by using fluorescence correlation spectros…
Emerging Therapies in Immune Thrombocytopenia
2021
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a rare autoimmune disorder caused by peripheral platelet destruction and inappropriate bone marrow production. The management of ITP is based on the utilization of steroids, intravenous immunoglobulins, rituximab, thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs), immunosuppressants and splenectomy. Recent advances in the understanding of its pathogenesis have opened new fields of therapeutic interventions. The phagocytosis of platelets by splenic macrophages could be inhibited by spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) or Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors. The clearance of antiplatelet antibodies could be accelerated by blocking the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn), while n…
Recensione ad: Anonimo, Phylon, a cura di D. Prunotto, Firenze 2011 (in «Mediaeval Sophia» 11, gennaio-giugno 2012)
2012
Recensione all'ediz. critica, con trad. ital. e commento, del «Phylon» (o «Comedia Phylonis»), commedia umanistica latina del sec. XV, che contamina, al suo interno, spunti terenziani e suggestioni boccacciane. L'ediz. è stata curata da Daniela Prunotto ed è apparsa, nel 2011, nella collana «Teatro Umanistico» diretta da Stefano Pittaluga e Paolo Viti per la SISMEL-Edizioni del Galluzzo di Firenze.

Reaktionen von elektronenreichen Heterocyclen mit Orthocarbonsäure-Derivaten, 10. Formylierungs- und Alkylierungsreaktionen von Carbazolen mit ambide…
1987
Carbazole werden durch Diethoxycarbenium-tetrafluoroborat mit hoher Regioselektivitat formyliert, wahrend die thermodynamisch stabileren Diethoxymethylcarbenium- und Trimethoxycarbenium-Ionen infolge ausgepragter ambidenter Elektrophilie Carbazole bevorzugt alkylieren. Reactions of Electron-Rich Heterocycles with Orthocarboxylic Acid Derivatives, 10. – Formylation and Alkylation of Carbazoles with Ambident Dialkoxycarbenium Tetrafluoroborates Carbazole and some derivatives were formylated regioselectively with diethoxycarbenium tetrafluoroborate. The thermodynamically more stable diethoxymethylcarbenium and trimethoxycarbenium ions exhibit ambident electrophilic reactivity as predominant al…
Thrombocythemic erythromelalgia, primary erythermalgia, and secondary erythermalgia: three distinct clinicopathologic entities.
1994
On the basis of clinical, laboratory, and histopathologic studies, the authors discern three distinct types of red, congested, and burning extremities that need to be distinguished for effective treatment according to their etiology: erythromelalgia in thrombocythemia, primary erythermalgia, and secondary erythermalgia. Each entry is discussed in turn.
Second-line administration of thrombopoietin receptor agonists in immune thrombocytopenia: Italian Delphi-based consensus recommendations
2021
Introduction: In patients with primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), a short course of steroids is routinely given as first-line therapy. However, the response is often transient and additional therapy is usually needed. Thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TPO-RAs) are frequently used as second-line therapy, although there is little clinical guidance on the timing of their administration and on tapering/discontinuation of the drug. To provide clinical recommendations, we used the Delphi technique to obtain consensus for statements regarding administration and on tapering/discontinuation of second-line TPO-RAs among a group of Italian clinicians with expertise in management of ITP. Methods: T…
