    Determinating the Regional Origin of Cheeses with Trace Metal Analysis Using Statistical Classifiers

    No full text
    Some trace elements (Li, K, Mn, Se, Rb, Cs) are dosed in cow and sheep cheeses coming from three different geographical areas in order to identify their place of origin. The samples were obtained from milk collected during the winter and the spring for two production years. It has been pointed out that it was possible to discriminate the place of origin of cheeses clearly, regardless of their type (cow or sheep). Furthermore, if a data set related to only sheep samples is used, it is only necessary to dose the alkali elements (Li, K, Rb), whereas if a data set regarding the cow cheeses is considered, all six elements analysed are taken into consideration in order to obtain a significant differentiation between the regions

    Involvement of the plasminogen enzymatic cascade in the reaction to axotomy of rat sympathetic neurons

    No full text
    Axotomy of superior cervical ganglion (SCG) neurons is characterized by peripheral regeneration of injured axons and temporary disassembly of the intraganglionic synapses, necessary for synaptic silencing. Both events require remodeling of the extracellular matrix achieved through controlled proteolysis of its components by different enzymatic systems. In this study, we investigate the involvement of the plasminogen enzymatic cascade in the response to axotomy of rat SCG neurons. All components of this proteolytic pathway, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), plasminogen, membrane receptor annexin II and tPA inhibitor (PAI-1), are constitutively expressed in uninjured SCG and increase significantly after SCG neuron axotomy. Immunolocalization of plasminogen, the key protein converted into the enzymatically active plasmin by tPA, in both neurons and on-neuronal cells indicates that all cell types are involved in the response to axotomy. The time course of activation of tPA/plasmin enzymatic pathway suggests its involvement in both intraganglionic synapse remodeling and axonal regeneration. **Corresponding author: MED

    Il Signore Risorto – la Gioia del Vangelo (GV 20, 20b)

    The author analyses exegetically J 20, 19–20 where the disciples were filled with joy when they saw Risen Jesus. Starting from the analysis of the literary context and the motives related to the disciples’ joy, the author stresses church-centered role of the Risen Lord (kyrios). He points out a number of references to the appearances of Risen Christ in Luke 24, which seem to have many points in common with the Johannine tradition. He particularly focuses on the very moment of appearance when Jesus in a symbolic gesture shows his hands and side to the disciples. The hands and side are the symbols of tender love of the Good Shepherd and inexhaustible source of the Holy Spirit. Moreover, he presents the contrast between the experience of fear, confusion and scattering (before the Resurrection) and the experience of joy, confidence and unity which was rediscovered around the Risen Jesus.L’articolo presenta un’analisi esegetica di Gv 20, 19–20, dove gli apostoli si rallegrarono al vedere Gesù risorto. Si esamina il contesto letterario, i motivi inerenti alla gioia dei discepoli e il ruolo ecclesiocentrico del Signore Risorto (kyrios). Non mancano riferimenti al racconto delle apparizioni in Lc 24, che sembra molto vicino alla tradizione giovannea. Un’attenzione particolare viene data al momento dell’apparizione, quando Gesù, eseguendo un gesto simbolico, mostra ai discepoli le mani e il costato, entrambi i simboli della amorevole cura del Buon Pastore e dell’inesauribile fonte dello Spirito Santo. Inoltre, viene messo in risalto il contrasto tra lo stato di paura, smarrimento e dispersione (prima dell’apparizione del Risorto) e lo stato di gioia, fiducia e ritrovata unità attorno a Gesù Risorto

    REGIONALLY BASED LUNG ULTRASOUND EXAMINATION IN DOGS NATURALLY INFECTED WITH ANGIOSTRONGYLUS VASORUM: A PRELIMINARY STUDY

    Angiostrongylus vasorum (Nematoda, Metastrongyloidea) is a molluscan-borne parasitic nematode that has been recognized as a cause of cardiopulmonary disease and coagulopathies in dogs. Early and accurate diagnosis is fundamental but difficult because clinical, laboratory and diagnostic imaging findings are not specific [1]. Lung ultrasound (LUS) has shown potential as an important screening test and monitoring tool for the diagnosis and management of respiratory distress or with respiratory disease [2]. The purpose of this study was to establish the usefulness of regionally based LUS examination to describe the artifacts representing different states of pulmonary interstitial-alveolar infiltration or consolidation in dogs infected by A. vasorum. Between January and March 2018 four dogs with the diagnosis of A. vasorum infection (Baermann’s test) were evaluated. For each dog clinical signs (i.e. coughing, tachypnea, and dyspnea), hematology, biochemistry and coagulation profiles, radiographic, and echocardiographic findings were recorded. LUS was performed before (T0), and 30 days after (T30) the treatment with imidacloprid 10%/moxidectin 2.5% (Advocate®, Bayer Animal Health), based on the Veterinary bedside lung ultrasound examination (VetBlue) protocol described by Lisciandro et al. (2014). LUS severity score: normal (0), mild (1), moderate (2), severe (3), was assigned by the evaluation of LUS artifacts (B-lines, Nodules [Nds], consolidation with aeration [Shs], consolidation with no aeration [Ts]) and their prevalence in VetBlue regions. One author-sonographer (GA) performed LUS examinations in all dogs using the same 10 C microconvex 4-10 MHZ ultrasound probe (Logiq S8 Vet GE). At T0 1/4 dogs showed severe clinical signs (coughing, and dyspnea) associated with severe radiologic changes (peripheral alveolar pattern, nodular pattern and lung consolidation affecting areas in all lung lobes). LUS score value was 3, with the prevalence of Shs and Nds findings in all regions of VetBlue examination. Three of 4 dogs showed coughing, and radiologic changes including nodular interstitial and peripheral alveolar patterns (3/3 dogs), and single areas of lung consolidation (2/3 dogs). LUS score values were 2 (2/3 dogs), and 1 (1/ 3 dogs). B-lines, Nds, and Shs were the prevalent LUS findings, with multiple regional distributions. No clinical signs were observed in all 4 dogs at T30, and Baermann test resulted negative. Radiographic features were substantially improved in all dogs. LUS score values were 0 (2/4 dogs), and 1 (2/4 dogs). B- lines, Nds, were the main LUS findings observed in a single location of the Vetblue examination. Based on the results of this study, regionally based Lung Ultrasound examination could represent a noninvasive diagnostic tool complementary to thoracic radiography for the evaluation, and monitoring of lung interstitial-alveolar infiltration and lung consolidation in dogs with A. vasorum infection
