Protective effect of adenylate deaminase (from Penicillium lanoso-viride) against acute infections in mice
1996
We examined the effects of the immunomodulator-adenylate deaminase (E.C. 3.5.4.6) from Penicillium lanoso-viride on experimental mice infections. Prophylactic intraperitoneal administration of adenylate deaminase (ADA) increased survival time and numbers of survivors after infection with Salmonella typhimurium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and influenza A (H3N2) virus. Protection against influenza virus after intranasal ADA application was also observed. The influence of ADA was time and dose dependent. The most pronounced protection was obtained by administration of 3 U ADA/mice 24 h prior to infection. ADA had no antibiotic effect against these bacterial strains. Protective effects of ADA were …
Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator Interacts with Multiple Immunoglobulin Domains of Filamin A
2010
Mutations of the chloride channel cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) that impair its apical localization and function cause cystic fibrosis. A previous report has shown that filamin A (FLNa), an actin-cross-linking and -scaffolding protein, interacts directly with the cytoplasmic N terminus of CFTR and that this interaction is necessary for stability and confinement of the channel to apical membranes. Here, we report that the CFTR N terminus has sequence similarity to known FLNa-binding partner-binding sites. FLNa has 24 Ig (IgFLNa) repeats, and a CFTR peptide pulled down repeats 9, 12, 17, 19, 21, and 23, which share sequence similarity yet differ from the other FLN…
Universal newborn hearing screening in the Italian Region of Sicily in 2018
2021
We have clarified the role of Universal Neonatal Hearing Screening (UNHS) for both early diagnosis and rapid treatment in order to improve the prognosis of the deaf child and reduce patient management costs. Although in Sicily UNHS has been progressively implemented, there is scarce data in the literature on this matter. Therefore, the main objective was to collect in the year 2018 the following data: number of newborns screened for hearing loss, number of infants "referred" to transiently evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE), number of infants with pathologic auditory brainstem response (ABR) and number of infants affected by permanent hearing loss.UNHS monitoring was conducted through the…
Assessment of drainage network analysis methods to rank sediment yield hotspots
2021
This paper aims to test different methods used for assessing sediment yield indices to identify hotspots and rank sediment yield hotspots. This process includes the assessment of the entropy weight...
Methodologies for the Determination of Blood Alpha1 Antitrypsin Levels: A Systematic Review
2021
Background: The study of hematic concentrations of alpha1 antitrypsin (AAT) is currently one step in the diagnosis of AAT deficiency. To try to clarify the relevance of the laboratory techniques, we carried out a systematic review of the literature. Methods: Studies evaluating the quantification of AAT in peripheral blood were searched in PubMed in July 2021. The selection criteria included (1) any type of study design that included a quantification of AAT in peripheral blood; (2) studies written in English or Spanish; (3) studies evaluating human beings; and (4) studies involving adults. Results: Out of 207 studies, the most frequently used techniques were nephelometry (43.9%), followed by…
A NEW METHOD OF MEASURING INTRAOPERATING BLOOD IOSSES IN NEONATAL SURGERY
1978
At the Institut od Pediatric Surgery and the Institut of Electrotechinique of the UNiversity of Palermo was realized a method based iìon the blood capacity, because of its ionic fractions, on the change of the condictivity of a medium having know and constant electric peculiarity.

UNA RARA INDICAZIONE ALLA LOBECTOMIA DEL NEONATO: L'Emangioendotelioma complicato
1993
L'Emangioendotelioma epatico (EEE) è un raro tumore benigno vascolare dell'età pediatrica di maggiore riscontro nella prima infanzia, periodo durante il quale può essere causa di notevoile morbilità e mortalità per le temibili complicanze possibili. Gli Autori presentano un caso di EEE nel neonato, occorso alla loro osservazione e discutono le problematiche relative alla diagnosi ed al trattamento
