Lucrezio e la biologia di Aristotele. Riflessioni sulla presenza dell'opera aristotelica nel 'De rerum natura' e nella cultura greco-latina del I sec…
2006
Dopo avere preliminarmente constatato l'importanza che il sapere biologico, e in particolare la biologia di tradizione aristotelico-peripatetica, rivestono nel pensiero scientifico lucreziano, si intraprende una ricerca specifica sulle forme e le modalità di contatto ipotizzabili fra l'autore del 'De rerum natura' e il 'corpus' filosofico del Peripato. Alla luce della bibliografia degll'ultimo secolo, spesso discordante, si cerca di ricostruire in una visione più ampia la funzione svolta da Aristotele e dalla riflessione naturalistica della sua scuola nel dibattito etico-culturale greco-latino del I secolo a. C. Particolare attenzione viene prestata al tessuto speculativo e letterario dell'…

"Et cura vacare et negotio". Cicerone e la storiografia.
2012
Il "Brutus", la prima opera composta e fatta circolare da Cicerone dopo Farsàlo e il rientro a Roma, è un testo nel quale l’autore mette a fuoco il bisogno di conservare e trasmettere, dell’eloquenza romana, ciò che essa ha significato come modello di azione e di intervento nella realtà. In qualche misura, esso sembra configurarsi anche come un esperimento di narrazione storiografica, che risponde ai requisiti che Cicerone aveva considerato necessari per dedicarsi a tale attività nell’apertura del "de legibus".
Gelatinases and their tissue inhibitors in a group of subjects with metabolic syndrome.
2013
Aim To evaluate matrix metalloproteases (MMP)-2 and MMP-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteases (TIMP)-1 and TIMP-2 in a group of subjects with metabolic syndrome (MS) subdivided according to the presence or absence of diabetes mellitus. Methods We examined in 90 subjects (51 men and 39 women) with MS, defined following the International Diabetes Federation criteria, and subsequently subdivided into diabetic subjects (22 men and 11 women) and nondiabetic subjects s (29 men and 28 women), the plasma concentrations of MMP-2 and MMP-9 and of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 using specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. Results We found a significant increase in plasma concentrations of MMP-2, MMP…
Study of the Correlations among Some Parameters of the Oxidative Status, Gelatinases, and Their Inhibitors in a Group of Subjects with Metabolic Synd…
2014
Our aim was to examine some parameters of oxidative status, gelatinases, and their inhibitors and to evaluate their interrelationships in subjects with metabolic syndrome (MS). We enrolled 65 MS subjects, subdivided according to the presence or not of diabetes mellitus. We examined lipid peroxidation (expressed as thiobarbituric acid reacting substances, TBARS), protein oxidation (expressed as carbonyl groups), nitric oxide metabolites (NOx), total antioxidant status (TAS), MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2. We found that MS subjects, diabetics and nondiabetics, showed an increase in TBARS, PC, and NOx. A significant decrease in TAS was observed only in nondiabetic MS subjects in comparison …
Gelatinases and their tissue inhibitors in a group of subjects with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
2016
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is associated with an elevated risk of cardiovascular events and stroke. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are endopeptidases involved in extracellular matrix degradation and then in the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases. Our aim was to evaluate plasma levels of gelatinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMP-1 and TIMP-2) in a group of subjects with OSAS. We enrolled 48 subjects (36 men and 12 women; mean age 49.7 ± 14.68 yrs) with OSAS diagnosed with a 1-night cardiorespiratory study and then we subdivided these subjects into two subgroups according to the apnea/hypopnea index (AHI): Low (L = 21 subjects with AHI …
Plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and long-term mortality in patients with acute heart failure and normal renal function
2015
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) has emerged as a renal tubular marker for early renal dysfunction [1]. Recent studies highlighted its role in predicting acute kidney injury (AKI) and clinical outcomes in a wide range of cardiovascular diseases [2], [3], [4] and [5]. However, in heart failure (HF), conflicting results have been reported [4], [5], [6] and [7] and some ambiguities still prevail about the prognostic utility of NGAL beyond standard prognosticators and traditional renal biomarkers. We aimed to evaluate the independent ability of serum NGAL for predicting long-term mortality in patients admitted for acute HF (AHF). We prospectively enrolled 206 patients consecuti…

Mare nostrum: questioni di aggettivo?
2020
Riflessione sull'espressione 'mare nostrum', sulle sue connotazioni geografiche e politiche, sul peso ideologico che il possessivo 'nostrum' ha esercitato sulla tradizione successiva fino ai nostri giorni.
