Curcumin and trans-resveratrol exert cell cycle-dependent radioprotective or radiosensitizing effects as elucidated by the PCC and G2-assay

2013

Curcumin and trans-resveratrol are well-known antioxidant polyphenols with radiomodulatory properties, radioprotecting non-cancerous cells while radiosensitizing tumor cells. This dual action may be the result of their radical scavenging properties and their effects on cell-cycle checkpoints that are activated in response to radiation-induced chromosomal damage. It could be also caused by their effect on regulatory pathways with impact on detoxification enzymes, the up-regulation of endogenous protective systems, and cell-cycle-dependent processes of DNA damage. This work aims to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the dual action of these polyphenols and investigates under which conditions…

Gambling e Psicopatia

2013

Uno degli elementi che emerge frequentemente in letteratura è l’associazione osservabile tra psicopatia e dipendenze patologiche, sia da sostanza che comportamentali. I dati di ricerca mostrano, infatti, una correlazione significativa tra PCL-R e consumo di sostanze (Blackburn & Coid, 1998; Brinkley et al., 2001; Rutherford et al., 2000), in particolare con il fattore 2 della PCL-R, quello connesso allo stile di vita antisociale. Queste associazioni sono coerenti con l’idea che un tratto determinante della psicopatia è l’elevata impulsività, spesso connessa alle condotte di risk-taking. Tale connessione si osserva anche per ciò che concerne la relazione tra psicopatia e gioco d’azzardo pato…

Pojęcie hazardu w prawie hazardowym wybranych państw europejskich. Część II. Pojęcie hazardu w świetle definicji legalnych terminu gaming

2022

Artykuł stanowi drugie z cyklu opracowań, których celem jest przedstawienie i analiza znaczenia, jakie przypisuje się pojęciom „hazard” i „gry hazardowe” w przepisach prawa hazardowego wybranych państw europejskich, a także skonfrontowanie normatywnego znaczenia tego pojęcia z cechami hazardu w ujęciu nauk społecznych. Analizie poddano unormowania tych państw anglojęzycznych, w treści których na określenie zbiorczej kategorii przedsięwzięć o charakterze hazardowym używa się terminu gaming, tj. Malty i Irlandii. W opracowaniu wykorzystano przede wszystkim metody komparatystyki prawniczej. W zakresie, w jakim przedstawiono cechy hazardu w ujęciu nauk społecznych, oparto się na dorobku przedst…

GAMBLING: SPREADING AMONG STUDENTS IN PALERMO

2017

Adolescents represent a particularly high-risk group and they are also vulnerable to the development of gambling related problems. Thanks to technological advances in gaming industry (slot machines, video lottery terminals, casino-types games) new form of gambling are continuously appearing. With the purpose of having an idea about the spreading of gambling among the students of Palermo, a survey has been conducted through administration of questionnaires during the period from January to May 2017: this study involved 1622 students (686 boys and 936 girls) between the age of 14 and 19. In this survey it has been demonstrated that only 15% of students have never played; 36% declare they have…

The Gelling Ability of Some Diimidazolium Salts: Effect of Isomeric Substitution of the Cation and Anion

2013

The gelling ability of some geminal imidazolium salts was investigated both in organic solvents and in water solution. Organic salts differing either in the cation or anion structure were taken into account. In particular, the effects on the gel-phase formation of isomeric substitution on the cation or anion as well as of the use of mono- or dianions were evaluated. As far as the cation structure is concerned, isomeric cations, such as 3,3′-di-n-octyl-1,1′-(1,4-phenylenedimethylene)diimidazolium and 3,3′-di-n-octyl-1,1′-(1,3-phenylenedimethylene)diimidazolium, were used. On the other hand, in addition to the bromide anion, isomeric dianions, such as the 1,5- and 2,6-naphthalenedisulfonate a…

Insights into the anion effect on the self assembly of perylene bisimide diimidazolium salts

2017

Abstract We studied how changing the anion affects the self-assembly of three diimidazolium salts bearing a perylene bisimide spacer. In particular we used [BF 4 − ] and [NTf 2 − ] based salts together with a mixed salt bearing both [I − ] and [BF 4 − ] anions. Thermal as well as concentration and temperature dependent spectroscopic investigations revealed that changing the anion impacts on solid state and solution aggregation, leading to articulate thermotropic behaviors and contrasting solvent effects, respectively. We also studied the electrochemical behavior of the salts to verify if changing the anion alters the redox properties of the salts. Finally, different anions also lead to very…
