IL-6 stimulates annexin 1 expression and translocation and suggests a new biological role as class II acute phase protein.
1998
Annexin 1 (Ax 1), a protein whose synthesis and secretion are induced during the inflammatory response, has been proposed as a mediator of the anti-inflammatory action of glucocorticoids. To gain insight into a broader role of Ax 1 during the inflammatory response, the authors have investigated how pro-inflammatory cytokines [interleukin 1 (IL-1), IL-6 and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha)] affect Ax 1 expression and regulation at transcriptional and translational levels. The authors show that induction of the Ax 1 protein and its translocation to the cell membrane are stimulated by interleukin 6. However neither IL-1 nor TNF-alpha display these effects.

Durata di psicosi non trattata e consumo di cannabis in un campione di pazienti al primo episodio psicotico
2011
Introduzione: la durata di psicosi non trattata (DUP) nei pazienti affetti da psicosi all’esordio rappresenta un fattore predittivo dell’outcome e del decorso del disturbo (Perkins, 2005). La relazione tra consumo di cannabis e DUP è ancora controversa. In questo lavoro viene analizzato il rapporto tra DUP ed età di esordio, consumo di cannabis, funzionamento cognitivo, livello di istruzione e stato di occupazione in un gruppo di pazienti affetti da psicosi all’esordio reclutati nell’ambito dello studio SGAP (Sicilian Genetic and Psychosis) svolto in collaborazione con l’Institute of Psychiatry, King's College of London. Metodologia: sono stati reclutati 74 pazienti di età compresa tra 18 e…
Le prospettive di rilancio dell’economia della pesca siciliana nel passaggio dal FEP al FEAMP. Il ruolo delle realtà aggregative del settore e l’elab…
2013
Il capitolo contiene un esame aggiornato dello stato di avanzamento delle misure relative al fondo strutturale per la pesca nel periodo 2007-2013 (FEP) al fine di valutarne gli effetti su una possibile ripresa economica del settore. Tale analisi, in una fase di quasi completamento del FEP, viene messa in rapporto agli interventi previsti nel nuovo programma per il periodo 2014-2020 (FEAMP) allo scopo di: a) valutare la coerenza e la continuità delle strategie dei fondi strutturali destinati al settore della pesca siciliano in rapporto all’obiettivo di arrestare il declino strutturale del settore; b) individuare i possibili raccordi tra le politiche strutturali della vecchia e nuova programm…
Gene X cannabis interaction: Case-only design analysis in a first-episode psychosis sample

A first episode psychosis case-control genetic association study
2006
Background:GAP(genesandpsychosis) is a case-control studyof first episode psychosis conducted in London and Cambridge, which aims to identify genes conferring susceptibility to psychosis, and associated phenotypes including cognitive dysfunction and cerebral morphology. Methods:First episode psychosis cases have been recruited in South London and Maudsley NHS Trust and in Cambridge. A variety of demographic and clinical data have been collected. In a subset of these, neurocognitive assessments and MRIs have been performed. Samples have been taken for DNA, and in a subset for RNA and proteomic analysis. Genetic association analysis is being undertaken using a candidate gene approach. The gen…

Elektroforētiska LiFePO4 kārtiņu iegūšana un fizikāli ķīmiskās īpašības
2015
Elektroforētiska LiFePO4 kārtiņu iegūšana un fizikāli ķīmiskās īpašības. Bikova K., zinātniskais vadītājs: Dr. chem. Bajārs G., maģistra darbs, 46 lappuses, 31 attēls, 9 tabulas, 23 literatūras avoti. Latviešu valodā. Maģistra darbā elektroforētiski uzklātas LiFePO4, grafēna un ogles kvēpu kompozītmateriāla kārtiņas. Optimizēti kārtiņu uznešanas apstākļi, veikta kārtiņu struktūras, sastāva un morfoloģijas analīze, izmantojot pulvera rentgendifrakcijas analīzi (XRD), Ramana spektroskopiju, termogravimetrisko analīzi (TGA) un skenējošo elektronu mikroskopiju (SEM). Pētītas uznesto kārtiņu elektroķīmiskās īpašības, izmantojot hronopotenciometriju un elektroķīmiskās impedances spektroskopiju.
DALI: Defining Antibiotic Levels in Intensive Care Unit Patients: Are Current -Lactam Antibiotic Doses Sufficient for Critically Ill Patients?
2014
Background. Morbidity and mortality for critically ill patients with infections remains a global healthcare problem. We aimed to determine whether α-lactam antibiotic dosing in critically ill patients achieves concentrations associated with maximal activity and whether antibiotic concentrations affect patient outcome.Methods. This was a prospective, multinational pharmacokinetic point-prevalence study including 8 α-lactam antibiotics. Two blood samples were taken from each patient during a single dosing interval. The primary pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic targets were free antibiotic concentrations above the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the pathogen at both 50% (50% f TMIC) an…
