A secure architecture for P2PSIP-based communication systems
2009
Today, Peer-to-Peer SIP based communication systems have attracted much attention from both academia and industry. The decentralized nature of P2P might provide the distributed peer-to-peer communication system without help of the traditional SIP server. However, it comes to the cost of reduced manageability and therefore causes security problems, e.g. distrust, privacy leaks, unpredictable availability, etc. In this paper, we investigate on P2PSIP security issues and propose a proxy-based system architecture that improves security during P2PSIP session initiation. The main issues considered in this architecture include Source inter-working, Encryption & Decryption, Policy Management, Desti…
Exposure to trihalomethanes through different water uses and birth weight, small for gestational age, and preterm delivery in Spain
2011
Background: Evidence associating exposure to water disinfection by-products with reduced birth weight and altered duration of gestation remains inconclusive. Objective: We assessed exposure to trihalomethanes (THMs) during pregnancy through different water uses and evaluated the association with birth weight, small for gestational age (SGA), low birth weight (LBW), and preterm delivery. Methods: Mother–child cohorts set up in five Spanish areas during the years 2000–2008 contributed data on water ingestion, showering, bathing, and swimming in pools. We ascertained residential THM levels during pregnancy periods through ad hoc sampling campaigns (828 measurements) and regulatory data (264 me…
Jaw osteonecrosis management around a dental implant inserted 2 years before starting treatment with zoledronic acid
2015
Journal Article; Bisphosphonates (BP) are a type of drug known to inhibit bone resorption through complex interventions. Their primary mechanism of action is aimed at the cellular level, inhibiting osteoclast activity and so bone resorption. BPs are widely used, with many patients receiving continuous treatment for years. But it is well known that these drugs can produce osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). Zoledronic acid (ZA) is an intravenous BP used in the treatment and prophylaxis of bone disease in patients with malignant tumors with bone implication. ZA is the most potent BP in clinical development. This report describes the case of a 62-year-old woman with breast cancer antecedents which…
In vitro release of lectins by Phallusia mamillata hemocytes.
1991
Abstract α-Lactose specific lectins are released from Phallusia mamillata hemocytes during short-term cultures. The molecular weight of the subunits, the immunological cross-reaction and the sugar specificity suggest that the released lectins are similar to those isolated from the sonicated hemocytes. Because lectin release appears to take place independently of active protein synthesis, the possibility exists that lectins are pre-formed, stored in hemocytes and released when in vitro conditions stimulate the cells.
Sugar specific cellular lectins of Phallusia mamillata hemocytes: Purification, characterization and evidence for cell surface localization
1989
Cellular lectins (CLs) of Phallusia mamillata were demonstrated in protein preparations obtained by salt fractionation from hemocytes sonicated in a suitable medium. Since the lectins from the precipitated fraction bind sugars containing D-galactosyl groups, they were purified by affinity chromatography on Sepharose. SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions showed that CLs are formed of two components of apparent MWs approximately 36,900 and 35,090 and thus differ from serum lectins (SLs) (MW about 62,200). The "shrinkage" observed when SLs were examined under nonreducing conditions suggest the presence of intrachain disulphide bonds which can affect the molecular structure of the SLs. CL-SL diff…
On the action of chromomycin on the eggs and embryos of Ciona intestinalis.
1964
E stata studiata l'azione della cromomicina sulle uova diCiona intestinalis (Ascidie) in diversi stadi di sviluppo. Essa non esercita alcun effetto sull'uovo vergine o appena fecondato; modifica invece notevolmente la morfogenesi se il trattamento e portato sulle uova in gastrulazione. I risultati vengono spiegati ammettendo che la cromomicina esercita la stessa azione che la actinomicina D e cioe inibisce la sintesi del MRNA.
Single giant larvae ofAscidia malaca from double eggs
1969
E stata operata la fusione due a due di uova vergini diAscidia malaca. Le uova giganti cosi ottenute, sono state successivamente fecondate e il loro sviluppo e stato seguito. Da esse sono state ottenute in numerosi casi delle larve giganti che mostravano unicita in tutti i loro organi. L'osservazione dell'uovo gigante, dopo fecondazione, permette di asserire che le larve giganti sono triploidi.
Erythrocyte agglutinins in the blood of certain Ascidians
1975
Plasma from Ciona intestinalis, Phallusia mamillata and Ascidia malaca possess hemagglutinin for a variety of erythrocytes. Results obtained by physical and chemical treatments suggest that hemagglutinin for Phallusia mamillata and Ascidia malaca may be a protein or a protein-like substance.
Incorporation of phenylalanine-H3 in the fragments of the fertilized ascidian egg
1972
E'stata studiata l'incorporazione di fenilalanina-H3 nelle meta animali e vegetative delle uova fecondate di Ascidie tagliate subito dopo l'emissione del 1° e del 2° globulo polare, allo scopo di vedere se le potenzialita di sviluppo delle meta vegetative fossero legate con un diverso metabolismo proteico. I risultati hanno mostrato che entrambe le meta incorporano fenilalanina-H3.
A light and electron microscope study of spherical structures in the test cells of an ascidianCiona intestinalis L.
1984
Spherical structures in the test cells that surround the embryos of the ascidianCiona intestinalis L. (Tunicata, phylum Chordata) were studied by both light and electron microscope. Our data support the view that these structures are microorganism-like cells living in symbiosis with the test cells. Their possible role is discussed.
