    Lichen diversity and lichen transplants as monitors of air pollution in a rural area of central Italy

    The results of a biomonitoring study carried out in the Municipality of Colle di Val d'Elsa (central Italy), using the diversity of epiphytic lichens and the accumulation of selected elements in thalli of the lichen Evernia prunastri transplanted in two urban sites are reported. The results indicate that the survey area suffers from different types of pollution. The main air pollutants are NOX and Pb. Vehicular traffic and domestic heating are the main sources of the former, and traffic and a crystal factory of the latter. Furthermore, most study area is eutrophicated due to diffuse agricultural activities and the presence of pig and sheep stockfarms

    Abscopal Effect in Radiotherapy Treatment

    The abscopal effect is a phenomenon that occurs during the treatment of a metastatic cancer when the localized treatment of the tumor causes not only a shrinkage of the aforementioned, but also a shrinkage of tumors outside the scope of the localized treatment plan .The RT treatment also induced healing of metastases distant from the radiotherapy treatment plan, causing the abscopal effect even in lung and bone lesions with new diagnostic findings, confirming how Immunotherapy before and during the RT treatment makes the abscopal radiobiological effect not always predictabl

    Allozyme variation in reference and metal-exposed natural populations of Orchesella cincta (L.) (Insecta, Collembola)

    Environmental pollution may affect genetic variation in populations inhabiting polluted sites. In this study, allozyme variation was studied in natural populations of the soil-dwelling insect Orchesella cincta. The populations originated from eight sites with different histories of metal contamination and natural enrichment in The Netherlands, Belgium and F.R.G. Slight but significant divergence was observed for four polymorphic loci; 18 loci were monomorphic at all sites. The highest mean values for heterozygosity (H), degree of polymorphism (P) and mean number of alleles per locus (A) were 0.090, 0.182 and 1.36, respectively. Geographic distance was not correlated to genetic divergence. Comparison of allozyme data from investigated populations and from a reference population in Italy showed a remarkable genetic homogeneity in this species, the highest value for Nei's genetic distance (D) being 0.035. Among NW European populations, a correlation between metal tolerance characteristics and allozyme frequencies was observed for glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase (EC. 2.6.1.1)
