Evaluation of the antiproliferative, proapoptotic, and antiangiogenic effects of a double-stranded RNA mimic complexed with polycations in an experim…
2015
Objective To assess the antiproliferative, proapoptotic, and antiangiogenic effects of the double-stranded RNA mimic polyinosine-polycytidylic acid (pIC) complexed with polyethylenimine [pIC PEI ] in xenografted human leiomyomas. Design Heterologous leiomyoma mouse model. Setting University-affiliated infertility center. Animal(s) Ovariectomized and hormone-replaced nude mice (n = 16) who received human leiomyoma fragment transplantation. Intervention(s) Leiomyoma fragments placed in the peritoneum of 5-week-old nude female mice and treated with the vehicle (n = 8) or 0.6 mg/kg [pIC PEI ] (n = 8) for 4 weeks. Main Outcome Measure(s) The size of the leiomyoma implants, and cellular prolifera…
Whole blood selenium content in pregnant women
1999
The selenium content in the blood of pregnant women in the Valencian Community, Spain was determined until the end of gestation in order to assess its evolution and detect possible differences in relation to the values corresponding to non-pregnant women of fertile age. A total of 158 blood samples were obtained from 137 pregnant women. Samples were classified as: (a) first; (b) second; and (c) third trimester. Selenium was determined by a flow injection hydride atomic absorption spectrometric method (Seronorm whole blood was used as a quality control check). The selenium values obtained for the three trimesters followed a Gaussian distribution. The intervals for mean found were: (a) 75.7-8…
Laparoscopic Splenectomy for Secondary Cytoreduction in Ovarian Cancer Patients With Localized Spleen Recurrence: Feasibility and Technique
2016
Abstract Study Objective To investigate the feasibility of laparoscopic splenectomy in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer with isolated spleen metastasis. Design (Canadian Task Force classification III). Setting Tertiary referral centre in Rome, Italy. Patients Eight women with an isolated platinum-sensitive splenic relapse of ovarian cancer. Intervention Between February 2013 and May 2015, 8 women with an isolated platinum-sensitive splenic relapse of ovarian cancer were submitted to laparoscopic splenectomy. Measurements and Main Results All patients underwent laparoscopic splenectomy without conversion to an open approach. The median estimated intraoperative blood loss was 100 mL (ra…
Endovascular Embolization of a Large High-Flow Splenic Arteriovenous Fistula and Aneurysm Using the Amplatzer Vascular Plug II.
2015
We describe the use of an Amplatzer Vascular Plug (AVP) II for embolizing a large high-flow splenic arteriovenous fistula and an aneurysm in a young patient. This patient presented to our center with persistent mild abdominal discomfort, 5 years after open splenectomy. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography angiography showed the presence of a fistula between the splenic arterial and splenic venous remnants and a resultant fusiform aneurysmal dilatation of the residual splenic vein. We decide to embolize the splenic artery with a 12-mm diameter AVP II with an oversizing by 70% of the vessel diameter. Celiac angiography performed 5 min postembolization revealed complete obliteration of the sp…
Splenic lymphangiomatosis showing rapid growth during lactation: a case report.
2010
Splenic lymphangiomatosis is a very rare condition that, from 1990 to date, has been described only nine times. In the present report, we describe the first case of splenic lymphangiomatosis with rapid growth during lactation in a 35-year-old woman. We also underline the difficultly in making an accurate preoperative diagnosis, despite more modern imaging techniques. Total splenectomy was considered to be the treatment needed, both to make a definitive diagnosis and to exclude the presence of malignancy.
L’immagine di Agatocle e l’arte dell’età di Agatocle
2013
La tradizione letteraria, spesso ostile, ci restituisce in termini assai nitidi un’immagine di Agatocle del tutto in linea con le tendenze eminenti nell’arte aulica del Primo Ellenismo. Il Siracusano risulta aver sfruttato con abilità e perspicacia i clichés dell’ideologia regale affermatasi tra i Diadochi e gli Epigoni, nei regni originatisi dalla divisione dell’impero di Alessandro, fondata sull’esaltazione delle virtù militari eccezionali e del carisma del re (degno emulo del grande Macedone), e del suo stile di vita “straordinario”, cui le grandi feste e i banchetti danno occasione di ostentare magnificenza e generosità, definendo altresì le nuove gerarchie sociali. Da un lato quindi il…

The current problems of the investigation into the Hellenistic-Roman district of Agrigento are briefly illustrated, focusing attention on block II.
Paesaggio catastale, paesaggio letterario e archeologia del paesaggio. Tre percezioni a confronto
2008
Our aim is to compare three possible and different perceptions of the agricultural landscape of Hellenistic and Roman Sicily: the "cadrastal" landscape as shown in the Tables of Halaisa, the literary landscape, as evidenced by sources as the poetry of Theocritus, and the landscape reconstructed through archaeological surveys (landscape archaeology). Each of these readings, with reference to the real territory of Halaisa, reveals itself as a different perception, mediated by the elements considered, the available data and the purpose of the approach: in the Tables the detection of the boundaries of public-owned lots, in the poetry of Theocritus the creation of an ideal landscape, connected, …
Note sull'embriologia nella tarda antichità e la prima età bizantina
2019
This paper deals with the outcomes of Galenism in Greek Late Antiquity and in the first period of the Byzantine era, considering particularly the rare but significant elements of novelty which are present in the rereading of the ancient tradition by John of Alexandria, in the Alexandrian Summaries of the Galenic Canon, and by Stephanus and Theophilus Protospatharius.
