NON SOLO PORPORA… SUCCESSO DELLA STRATEGIA TERAPEUTICA E NUTRIZIONALE

2018

La porpora di Schoenlein-Henoch (HSP) è la vasculite più comune in età pediatrica caratterizzata da depositi di immunocomplessi di IgA nei piccoli vasi. L’eziologia non è nota, ma è possibile una correlazione con infezioni batteriche, virus, alimentazione, punture di insetti e agenti fisici. La diagnosi è principalmente clinica. Le principali manifestazioni sono porpora cutanea, artrite, manifestazioni gastrointestinali e nefrite. Manifestazioni neurologiche e cardiache sono rare, come le localizzazioni polmonari e testicolari. Sporadicamente è descritto un coinvolgimento pancreatico. Riportiamo il caso di un bambino di 5 anni con HSP ad interessamento pluridistrettuale. B.G. giunge alla no…

Übertragung von Verhaltensweisen durch Transplantation von Anlagen neuroanatomischer Strukturen bei Amphibienlarven

2010

By replacing parts of the neural plate (prospective medulla oblongata) of Triturus vulgaris by neural ectoderm of Xenopus laevis larval chimaeras were obtained, which showed donorlike rhythmical movements of distinct parts of the visceral musculature according to the place of implantation. Especially the branchial region with its external gills showed rhythmical movements and is the special object of this investigation.

Acute renal insufficiency and pancreatitis in a child with atypical Henoch–Schönlein purpura: efficacy of a single dose of cyclophosphamide

2018

A 9-year-old boy with petechiae on the legs and abdominal pain was unsuccessfully treated with steroids. He was admitted to our hospital for the onset of fever, ecchymosis, and arthralgia. Skin lesions suggested vasculitis, but they were not typical of Henoch–Schönlein purpura. He showed ecchymosis of the scrotal bursa, diffusion of petechiae to the trunk and arms, vomiting, severe abdominal pain, oliguria with hyponatremia, hypoalbuminemia, low C3 levels, high levels of creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, and tubular enzymes, proteinuria, and glycosuria. The urinary sediment showed macrohaematuria, and hyaline and cellular casts. Ultrasound showed polyserositis. He was treated with intraveno…

Extraction of lipids from wet microalga Auxenochlorella protothecoides using pulsed electric field treatment and ethanol-hexane blends

2017

Abstract Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) treatment was used as pre-treatment on the microalgae strain Auxenochlorella protothecoides (A.p.) prior to organic solvent extraction of lipids. Experiments were performed on fresh biomass from mixotrophic or autotrophic culture which both had an evaluated lipid content of 30–35% of cell dry weight. Lipid yield was determined gravimetrically and compared to the reference lipid content assessed by bead-milling and subsequent Soxhlet extraction. The biomass was concentrated at 10% w/w solids prior to PEF-treatment and further dewatered afterwards to approximately 25% w/w before extraction. PEF-treatment with an energy input of 1.5 MJ per kilogram of dry m…

Anti‐laminin auto antibodies in ANCA‐associated vasculitis

2000

Background. Endothelial cell damage occurs during vasculitic processes in vivo. With the alteration of the endothelium, exposure to basement membrane components may occur with induction of humoral immunity. Methods. In the present study, we evaluated the prevalence of antibodies against the basement membrane antigen laminin (LMN) in patients with ANCA-associated systemic vasculitis (AASV), pathologic controls (systemic lupus erythematosus, mixed cryoglobulinaemia, Henoch Schonlein purpura, primary glomerulonephritis) and normal individuals. Results. By ELISA, 21.6% of AASV (16/74) and 10% of pathologic controls (3/30), but only one of the normal controls (2.8%) had these antibodies (P = 0.0…

Structure of insect community in the fungus Inonotus radiatus in riparian boreal forests

2016

ABSTRACTBasidiomes of polypore fungi host many insects. Yet systematic information about insect assemblages from most fungal species is lacking. We studied the insect community associated with the wood-decaying fungus Inonotus radiatus (Sowerby: Fr.) P. Karst. (Hymenochaetales). More specifically, we studied the effect of successional stage and weight of basidiomes, as well as shore exposition (north or south), on species richness and composition, as well as occurrence and abundance of the most abundant fungivores. Basidiomes were collected from riparian forests at five lakes in Sweden. Insects were reared out from the basidiomes in the laboratory. A total of 5645 adult insect individuals o…

�ber die Wirkung von Adrenochrom und Histamin auf die Blutungszeit

1952

Adrenochrom (ACHR) und das Semicarbazon des Adrenochrom = Adrenoxyl verkurzen die Blutungszeit beim Kaninchen. Die Wirkung last sich durch Antihistaminica aufheben bzw. verhindern. Auch die Wirkung von Histamin, das in analoger Weise wie ACHR die Blutungszeit verkurzt, last sich durch vorherige Gabe eines Antihistaminicum verhindern. Die bereits eingetretene Wirkung von Histamin last sich durch Antihistaminiea nicht mehr aufheben. Die Ergebnisse werden ausfuhrlich im Arch. exper. Path. u. Pharmakol. veroffentlicht.

Possible Fungistatic Implications of Betulin Presence in Betulaceae Plants and their Hymenochaetaceae Parasitic Fungi

2010

Betulin and its derivatives (especially betulinic acid) are known to possess very interesting prospects for their application in medicine, cosmetics and as bioactive agents in pharmaceutical industry. Usually betulin is obtained by extraction from the outer layer of a birch bark. In this work we describe a simple method of betulin isolation from bark of various species of Betulaceae trees and parasitic Hymenochaetaceae fungi associated with these trees. The composition of the extracts was studied by GC-MS, whereas the structures of the isolated compounds were confirmed by FTIR and 1H NMR. Additionally, the significant fungistatic activity of betulin towards some fi lamentous fungi was deter…

Contribution to the knowledge of Inonotus baumii in Thailand

2015

Inonotus baumii in Thailand is reported on three new host-plants: Acacia tomentosa, Shorea robusta, and S. siamensis. A key for the identification of Inonotus species in Thailand accompanies notes on the taxonomy of I. baumii.
