Allergy to pollen of urban cultivated plants
Abstract
Graminaceae, Urticaceae, Compositae, Betulaceae, Corylaceae and Oleaceae are the most representative allergenic
taxa in Italy. In this paper the airborne pollen counts of the main allergenic families collected for a six-year period
(1991–1996) in Padua’s area were analysed. We observed a significant variability for all allergenic pollen types
considered
Liver toxicity due to 1,2-dichloropropane in the rat.
The effect of 1,2-dichloropropane on rat liver was studied after short (5 days) and long term (4 weeks) i.p. administration. Animals were injected daily with 10-500 mg/kg body wt 1,2-dichloropropane and biochemical and histological changes of liver were investigated. Treatment was monitored by measuring urinary mercapturic acid excretion. A significant increase of mercapturate excretion was observed at all dose levels, with no further increase during the treatment; at lower doses a return to baseline values occurred within 48 h after the end of treatment. Mercapturate excretion at the end of weeks 2, 3 and 4 of treatment was significantly lower than that observed at the end of week 1. The liver reduced glutathione content was different after single or repeated injections. A dose-dependent decrease of liver reduced glutathione was observed after a single injection and a dose-dependent increase after 4 weeks. The liver biochemical pattern after 4 weeks of treatment (characterized by a decrease of cytochrome P-450 and by an increase of reduced glutathione and glutathione S-transferase activity) suggests a hyperplastic evolution of the liver cells, probably a repair mechanism induced by early depletion of reduced glutathione. Light microscopy confirms that the prevalent alterations are regenerative in type (atypical mitosis and hyperplastic nodules). Areas of focal necrosis are isolated, and trend to disappear after long term treatment

Variations on the Author
“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
