Update on new approaches in the management of hepatocellular carcinoma
2010
Giuseppe Cabibbo1,2, Michela Antonucci3, Chiara Genco11Sezione di Gastroenterologia, Di.Bi.Mi.S., University of Palermo, Italy; 2Dipartimento di Biopatologia e Metodologie Biomediche, University of Palermo, Italy; 3Department of Oncology, Division of General and Oncological Surgery, University of Palermo, ItalyAbstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a major health problem. It is currently the third cause of cancer-related death, it is highly prevalent in the Asia–Pacific region and Africa, and is increasing in Western countries. The natural history of HCC is very heterogeneous and prediction of survival in individual patients is not satisfactory because of the wide spectrum of…
Antibody recognition of fluorinated MUC1 glycopeptide antigens.
2011
The syntheses of various fluorinated MUC1 glycopeptide antigens and their specific binding to serum antibodies from mice immunized with natural and fluorinated TF(6)-MUC1-TTox conjugate vaccines are presented.
Synthesis of a MUC1-glycopeptide-BSA conjugate vaccine bearing the 3'-deoxy-3'-fluoro-Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen.
2011
A novel MUC1-glycopeptide–BSA conjugate vaccine with a specifically fluorinated Thomsen–Friedenreich antigen side chain at Thr6 was prepared. Preliminary immunological experiments reveal specific binding of the tumor-associated glycopeptide antigen analog by anti-MUC1-mouse antibodies.

Description of research methods and results tables from Food limitation constrains host immune responses to nematode infections
2016
Trade-offs in the allocation of finite-energy resources among immunological defences and other physiological processes are believed to influence infection risk and disease severity in food-limited wildlife populations. However, this prediction has received little experimental investigation. Here we test the hypothesis that food limitation impairs the ability of wild field voles (Microtus agrestis) to mount an immune response against parasite infections. We conducted a replicated experiment on vole populations maintained in large outdoor enclosures during boreal winter, using food supplementation and anthelmintic treatment of intestinal nematodes. Innate immune responses against intestinal p…
Towards Experiencing Eating as a Form of Play
2018
There is an increasing trend in interaction design to engage with food. We note that most prior work targets instrumental benefits (for example see food tracking apps to manage nutritional intake). In contrast, in this article, we highlight the potential of technology to support eating as a form of play. We reflect on our own work to articulate two design strategies for game designers on how they can facilitate playful eating experiences using novel technologies. Ultimately, with our work, we aim to facilitate a more playful engagement around the way we eat.
Availability of iron from milk-based formulas and fruit juices containing milk and cereals estimated by in vitro methods (solubility, dialysability) …
2007
Abstract Iron solubility, dialysability and transport and uptake (retention + transport) by Caco-2 cells as indicators of iron availability have been estimated in the in vitro gastrointestinal digests of infant foods (adapted, follow-up and toddler milk-based formulas and fruit juices containing milk and cereals (FMC)). Low correlation coefficients (in all cases R -squared ⩽ 37.1%) were obtained between iron solubility or dialysability versus transport or uptake efficiency – a fact emphasizing the importance of incorporating Caco-2 cell cultures to in vitro systems in order to adapt the conditions to those found in in vivo assays. The highest uptake efficiency corresponded to FMC (25.6–26.1…
Ileus Following Spontaneous Jejunum Intramural Hematoma: Case Report and Review of the Literature
2012
Anticoagulant therapy may cause the onset of a spontaneous intramural hematoma of the small bowel, in the jejunum, ileum or duodenum. A 53-year-old woman on therapy with heparin for previous pulmonary embolism was admitted for abdominal pain and vomit. Computed tomography scan visualized an intramural hematoma of the jejunum causing subtotal obstruction of the intestinal lumen. The patient underwent resection of a part of the jejunum, securing intestinal continuity by a mechanical side-to-side anastomosis. The postoperative course was regular, but the initial anticoagulant therapy was reduced to prevent recurrence. In conclusion, spontaneous hematoma of small bowel can occur as a complicati…
Rheological Properties and Flavor Release
2010
International audience; Food texture may be of concern at different levels but is a main concern during food consumption. In fact, the way to handle food depends a lot on its texture: beyond interindividual differences, liquid products are swallowed more rapidly than solid products. e strength applied by teeth to bite food products and to transform the food bolus depends a lot on food stiffness. When food is eaten, it undergoes many modifications due to mastication, but also dilution through the addition of saliva, and variation in temperature. ese modifications result in great changes in food structure and texture, and thus involve significant changes in the partition of aroma compounds be…
Association between degree of processing, glycaemic impact, satiety potential and nutrient profile of 279 ready-to-eat foods commonly consumed by Fre…
2016
International audience; Epidemiological studies clearly show that a high adherence to ultra-processed products is associated with increased prevalence of diet-related chronic diseases. Ultra-processed foods are made of recombined ingredients and added with various additives. They are also characterized by the loss of food structure and micronutrient density through refining. Yet, food structure plays an essential role in food glycaemic impact and satiety potential. In a preliminary study, we showed on 98 ready-to-eat foods usually consumed by diabetic subjects that the more foods are processed the higher their glycaemic impact and the lower their satiety potential. The objective of this stu…
