L’EBPM nella profilassi del paziente oncologico

2014

Premesse e Scopo dello studio: Valutare il beneficio dell’uso del- l’EBMP nella profilassi del paziente oncologico poiché questi presen- tano un rischio tromboembolico elevato. Metodi e Risultati: Nell’ultimo triennio presso il Dipartimento di Chi- rurgia Generale e di Urgenza dell'Az. Ospedali riuniti Villa Sofia - Cervello sono stati operati per cancro al retto sigma e sottoposti ad intervento di emicolectomia sx e resezione anteriore del retto 87 pazienti di cui 34 uomini e 53 donne, di questi 13 donne e 5 uomini hanno sviluppato durante il follow-up terapeutico oncologico complicanze a carico di sto- mie cutanee. In tutti i pazienti venuti alla nostra osservazione si sono evidenziati a …

Financial Sector Reform After the Subprime Crisis: Has Anything Happened?

2015

We analyze the reactions of stock returns and the spreads of credit default swaps (CDS) of banks from Europe and the USA to four major regulatory reforms in the aftermath of the subprime crisis, employing an event study analysis. Contrary to public perception, we find that financial markets indeed reacted to the structural reforms enacted at the national level. The reforms succeeded in reducing bail-out expectations relative to the post-bail-out period, especially for systemic banks. The strongest effects were found for the Dodd–Frank Act and in particular for the Volcker rule. Bank profitability was affected in all countries, showing up in lower equity returns.

The evolution of the Polish central bank’s views on Eurozone membership

2016

AbstractThis article analyses the reports published by the National Bank of Poland (NBP – Narodowy Bank Polski) between 2004 and 2014. These reports shed light on the evolution of official thinking on the possibility of Polish participation in the Eurozone, revealing a decline in enthusiasm over time. This change has taken place against a backdrop of a shift in general public attitudes (in Poland) towards the European Union, and a more specific shift in public opinion on the desirability of monetary integration on the supranational level caused by the economic crisis. These two factors explain the shift in conclusions and arguments contained in the official reports of the National Bank of P…

Reciprocal regulation of the human sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP)-1a promoter by Sp1 and EGR-1 transcription factors.

2007

AbstractSterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP)-1a is a transcription factor that is highly expressed in actively growing cells, and is involved in the biosynthesis of cholesterol, fatty acids and phospholipids. We have mapped the minimal human SREBP-1a promoter region to 75bp upstream of the translation start site where we discovered a functional role for the 3 GC-boxes containing overlapping sites for the Sp1 and EGR-1 transcription factors. Intact SP1-binding sites are essential for promoter activity, whereas EGR-1 suppresses the transcription of the human SREBP-1a promoter. These results reveal a novel physiologically relevant transcriptional mechanism for the reciprocal regul…

Introduction

Environnements et cultures à l'âge du Bronze en Europe occidentale.

2007

Les approches paléoenvironnementales récentes permettent de suivre précisément les phases de déprises et d'emprises agricoles, depuis le début du Néolithique jusqu'à nos jours, mais l'âge du Bronze n'avait pas jusqu'alors bénéficié des mêmes études pluridisciplinaires liant dynamique de l'environnement ancien et approche culturelle. Le Bronze moyen correspond souvent à une forte déprise agricole et une détérioration climatique encadrées par des systèmes agro-pastoraux développés et les améliorations climatiques des périodes du Bronze ancien et final. A partir de ce schéma très simple (simpliste pour certains), il est apparu intéressant d'élaborer une problématique globale touchant aux reche…

Spatial and thermal measurements using thermography CCD during HF soldering of metallic tubes

2002

High frequency soldering allows high production speed, contactless heating and good quality of the weld. The speed limit of soldering is principally imposed by a good drive of the metal in the profiling machine. To control a HF soldering process, the authors propose a new method and approach which consists in controlling the temperature with a thermal image acquisition system developed in their laboratory. Their computer vision, described in this paper, is based on CCD thermography. This technology brings many advantages and tools in the measurement of thermal and spatial parameters. In fact, high spatial (800/spl times/600 pixels) and temporal resolutions, good relative thermal resolution …

Modelling the metabolic shift of polyphosphate-accumulating organisms

2014

Enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) is one of the most important methods of phosphorus removal in municipal wastewater treatment plants, having been described by different modelling approaches. In this process, the PAOs (polyphosphate accumulating organisms) and GAOs (glycogen accumulating organisms) compete for volatile fatty acids uptake under anaerobic conditions. Recent studies have revealed that the metabolic pathways used by PAOs in order to obtain the energy and the reducing power needed for polyhydroxyalkanoates synthesis could change depending on the amount of polyphosphate stored in the cells. The model presented in this paper extends beyond previously developed metaboli…

Unraveling metabolic flexibility of rhodococci in PCB transformation

2021

International audience; Even though the genetic attributes suggest presence of multiple degradation pathways, most of rhodococci are known to transform PCBs only via regular biphenyl (bph) pathway. Using GC-MS analysis, we monitored products formed during transformation of 2,4,4′-trichlorobiphenyl (PCB-28), 2,2′,5,5′-tetrachlorobiphenyl (PCB-52) and 2,4,3′-trichlorobiphenyl (PCB-25) by previously characterized PCB-degrading rhodococci Z6, T6, R2, and Z57, with the aim to explore their metabolic pleiotropy in PCB transformations. A striking number of different transformation products (TPs) carrying a phenyl ring as a substituent, both those generated as a part of the bph pathway and an array…

Sequential recruitment of the mRNA decay machinery to the iron-regulated protein Cth2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

2020

Post-transcriptional factors importantly contribute to the rapid and coordinated expression of the multiple genes required for the adaptation of living organisms to environmental stresses. In the model eukaryote Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a conserved mRNA-binding protein, known as Cth2, modulates the metabolic response to iron deficiency. Cth2 is a tandem zinc-finger (TZF)-containing protein that co-transcriptionally binds to adenine/uracil-rich elements (ARE) present in the 3′-untranslated region of iron-related mRNAs to promote their turnover. The nuclear binding of Cth2 to mRNAs via its TZFs is indispensable for its export to the cytoplasm. Although Cth2 nucleocytoplasmic transport is ess…
