Neural Substrate to Associate Odorants and Pheromones: Convergence of Projections from the Main and Accessory Olfactory Bulbs in Mice
2012
In rodents olfactory stimuli are essential for socio-sexual behaviour. Volatile stimuli mainly activate the main olfactory system, whereas non-volatile ones, some of them considered as pheromones, activate the accessory olfactory system. Traditionally, it has been considered that the efferent projections of the main and the accessory olfactory bulbs innervate different telencephalic areas. Recent studies performed in rats and mice have challenged this view. In this work we explore in mice, through the use of anterograde tracer injections in the olfactory bulbs, the brain centres where olfactory and vomeronasal information might converge.
The vomeronasal cortex - afferent and efferent projections of the posteromedial cortical nucleus of the amygdala in mice
2013
Most mammals possess a vomeronasal system that detects predominantly chemical signals of biological relevance. Vomeronasal information is relayed to the accessory olfactory bulb (AOB), whose unique cortical target is the posteromedial cortical nucleus of the amygdala. This cortical structure should therefore be considered the primary vomeronasal cortex. In the present work, we describe the afferent and efferent connections of the posteromedial cortical nucleus of the amygdala in female mice, using anterograde (biotinylated dextranamines) and retrograde (Fluorogold) tracers, and zinc selenite as a tracer specific for zinc-enriched (putative glutamatergic) projections. The results show that t…
Il principio di pari opportunità e di parità nell'accesso al lavoro nella disciplina dei convitti nazionali: alcune considerazioni a margine della se…

The issues of equal opportunities and the prohibition of discrimination on the basis of gender have been the subject of Constitutional Court rulings for many years, also with a view to overcoming the phenomenon of under-representation of the female gender that characterises some sectors. The present work proposes to analyse sentence No. 1 of 2022, concerning the procedures for the recruitment of educational staff in national boarding schools, with which the Constitutional Court, by declaring the question inadmissible, demonstrated a certain discontinuity with the path taken in the progressive affirmation of the principles of equal opportunities and equal access to work. The ruling also offe…
Inflammatory and tumor-like lesions of the pancreas
2020
Summary Inflammatory/tumor-like lesions of the pancreas represent a heterogeneous group of diseases that can variably involve the pancreatic gland determining different signs and symptoms. In the category of inflammatory/tumor-like lesions of the pancreas, the most important entities are represented by chronic pancreatitis, which includes alcoholic, obstructive and hereditary pancreatitis, paraduodenal (groove) pancreatitis, autoimmune pancreatitis, lymphoepithelial cyst, pancreatic hamartoma and intrapancreatic accessory spleen. An in-depth knowledge of such diseases is essential, since they can cause severe morbidity and may represent a potential life-threatening risk for patients. Furthe…
A Systematic Review of Systematic Reviews on the Use of Aromatase Inhibitors for the Treatment of Endometriosis: The Evidence to Date
2023
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecologic condition that affects around 6-10% of reproductive age women. This clinical entity is characterized with pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and infertility which are the most often presenting symptoms. Aromatase P450 is the key enzyme for ovarian estrogen biosynthesis and there is evidence that endometriotic lesions express aromatase and are able to synthesize their own estrogens. Aromatase inhibitors (AIs) are potent drugs that suppress the estrogen synthesis via suppression of aromatase. We performed a systematic review of systematic reviews and narrative reviews on the use of aromatase inhibitors in the medical management of endometriosis. We …
Single amino acids in the lumenal loop domain influence the stability of the major light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b complex.
2004
The major light-harvesting complex of photosystem II (LHCIIb) is one of the most abundant integral membrane proteins. It greatly enhances the efficiency of photosynthesis in green plants by binding a large number of accessory pigments that absorb light energy and conduct it toward the photosynthetic reaction centers. Most of these pigments are associated with the three transmembrane and one amphiphilic alpha helices of the protein. Less is known about the significance of the loop domains connecting the alpha helices for pigment binding. Therefore, we randomly exchanged single amino acids in the lumenal loop domain of the bacterially expressed apoprotein Lhcb1 and then reconstituted the muta…

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation for Accessory Respiratory Muscles Training in Patients After Ischemic Stroke
2019
This study focused on how pulmonary function is affected by proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) of accessory respiratory muscles in the chronic post-stroke phase. The study involved patients who had had ischemic stroke 6 months or more before the PNF treatment investigated. The objective was to define the effect of PNF on bioelectrical resting and maximum activity of the accessory muscles. Patients were randomly assigned to PNF treatment and just positioning treatment as a reference for comparison; 30 patients each. Electromyography of accessory muscles was investigated before and after physiotherapeutic treatments. We found that there was a greater reduction in EMG activity in …
Protein linear indices of the ‘macromolecular pseudograph α-carbon atom adjacency matrix’ in bioinformatics. Part 1: Prediction of protein stability …
2005
Abstract A novel approach to bio-macromolecular design from a linear algebra point of view is introduced. A protein’s total (whole protein) and local (one or more amino acid) linear indices are a new set of bio-macromolecular descriptors of relevance to protein QSAR/QSPR studies. These amino-acid level biochemical descriptors are based on the calculation of linear maps on R n [ f k ( x m i ) : R n → R n ] in canonical basis. These bio-macromolecular indices are calculated from the kth power of the macromolecular pseudograph α-carbon atom adjacency matrix. Total linear indices are linear functional on R n . That is, the kth total linear indices are linear maps from R n to the scalar R [ f k …
