"Fabula narratur toto notissima caelo": "cornuto" e cornuti nel "Gattopardo"
2019
In Il Gattopardo of Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa there are three cuckolds: Vulcan, Giuseppe Garibaldi, and Tancredi Falconeri. This study explains how this triad is constituted and shows how the three figures are related in the narrative. The analysis opens a new perspective on the interpretation of the novel and brings out some aspects of its implicit organization.
Comparison of the detection of periodontal pathogens in bacteraemia after tooth brushing by culture and molecular techniques
2016
Background: The prevalence and amounts of periodontal pathogens detected in bacteraemia samples after tooth brushing-induced by means of four diagnostic technique, three based on culture and one in a molecular-based technique, have been compared in this study. Material and Methods: Blood samples were collected from thirty-six subjects with different periodontal status (17 were healthy, 10 with gingivitis and 9 with periodontitis) at baseline and 2 minutes after tooth brushing. Each sample was analyzed by three culture-based methods [direct anaerobic culturing (DAC), hemo-culture (BACTEC), and lysis-centrifugation (LC)] and one molecular-based technique [quantitative polymerase chain reactio…

Efficacy of the retreatment of hepatitis C virus infections after liver transplantation: Role of an aggressive approach
2012
A sustained virological response (SVR) is achieved by 30% of naive liver transplantation (LT) recipients treated with pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) and ribavirin (RBV). Almost no data are available about retreatment. The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy, tolerability, and SVR predictors of retreatment. Data were collected from 4 centers on the retreatment of prior nonresponders to standard therapy or PEG-IFN (with or without RBV) and relapsers. Seventy-nine of 301 treatment-experienced LT patients (26%), who had a median age of 59 years (range = 35-77 years) and were mostly male (72%) and infected with genotype 1 (87%), were retreated with PEG-IFN and RBV at a median of 6.9 yea…
Anemia is not predictive of sustained virological response in liver transplant recipients with hepatitis C virus who are treated with pegylated inter…
2011
In the immunocompetent setting, antiviral therapy–related anemia has recently been shown to be associated with a sustained virological response (SVR). Our goal was to assess whether this is also true for liver transplantation (LT). We included 160 LT patients with recurrent hepatitis C virus (HCV) who were treated with pegylated interferon and ribavirin (RBV) between 2002 and 2010; 76% of the patients were men, the median age of the patients was 56 years (range = 33-75 years), 63% had advanced fibrosis, and 86% were infected with HCV genotype 1a or 1b. The baseline immunosuppression was tacrolimus in 56% of the patients. Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) was used in 15%. Anemia was defined as a h…
Functional genomics of Lactobacillus casei establishment in the gut
2014
International audience; Although the composition of the gut microbiota and its symbiotic contribution to key host physiological functions are well established, little is known as yet about the bacterial factors that account for this symbiosis. We selected Lactobacillus casei as a model microorganism to proceed to genomewide identification of the functions required for a symbiont to establish colonization in the gut. As a result of our recent development of a transposon-mutagenesis tool that overcomes the barrier that had prevented L. casei random mutagenesis, we developed a signature-tagged mutagenesis approach combining whole-genome reverse genetics using a set of tagged transposons and in…
Identification and transcriptional profile of Lactobacillus paracasei genes involved in the response to desiccation and rehydration
2020
International audience; Lactobacillus paracasei is able to persist in a variety of natural and technological environments despite physico-chemical perturbations, in particular alternations between desiccation and rehydration. However, the way in which it adapts to hydric fluctuations and the genetic determinants involved are not clearly understood. To identify the genes involved in adaptation to desiccation, an annotated library of L. paracasei random transposon mutants was screened for viability after desiccation (25% relative humidity, 25 °C). We found 16 genes that have not been described as being involved in this response. Most of them are linked to either the transport of molecules or …
Development of an Efficient In Vivo System (P-junc-TpaseIS(1223)) for Random Transposon Mutagenesis of Lactobacillus casei
2012
ABSTRACT The random transposon mutagenesis system P junc -TpaseIS 1223 is composed of plasmids pVI129, expressing IS 1223 transposase, and pVI110, a suicide transposon plasmid carrying the P junc sequence, the substrate of the IS 1223 transposase. This system is particularly efficient in Lactobacillus casei , as more than 10,000 stable, random mutants were routinely obtained via electroporation.
La cooperazione degli organi del Tribunale speciale per il Libano nella tutela dei diritti dei detenuti in attesa di giudizio
2010
Ad un anno dall’inizio del funzionamento del tribunale Speciale per il Libano, questo articolo ne esamina l’operato in materia di diritti dei detenuti in attesa di giudizio. Nonostante si tratti del primo tribunale penale internazionale competente a conoscere crimini perpetrati in un paese dell’area araba, esso si pone pienamente nel solco evolutivo tracciato dai suoi predecessori ed anzi compie alcuni notevoli passi in avanti in tema di tutela dei diritti dei detenuti. All’interno dell’articolo viene esaminato l’operato di tutti i principali organi del Tribunale, mostrando come la tutela dei diritti umani sia stata una costante che ne ha innervato tutta l’attività, sia quella a carattere n…
