No full textQuattro parole fondamentali per la vita della mente
No full textThe article proposes a broad reflection around four words which are crucial for psychiatric and psychological research: conscious memory, non-conscious memory, separation and transformation and the way these concepts differ from and relate to each other. Among the themes developed is the passage from sleep-wakefulness and wakefulness-sleep, the distinction between the disappearance fantasy and the annulment drive and the recreation of the preverbal dimension of the first year of life
Una sentenza storica
No full textIn a sentence published last April, in relation to a case of "abuse of the profession of psychotherapist", the Italian Supreme Court (Corte di Cassazione) has gone to some length to lay down some principles, that, given the authoritative nature of this body, can be considered the founding principles of the psychotherapeutic profession. The sentence stresses the fact that psychoanalysis is not a free intellectual activity but a psychotherapy like all the others and distinguishes itself on the basis of the methods it uses, and as such, psychoanalysts must respect law 56/89 which sets the rules for psychotherapies. Furthermore the Supreme Court highlights the fact that "talking" constitutes a real and proper therapy for real and proper diseases, and so, psychotherapy is a typical activity of the medical profession. Ultimately this sentence, in contrast to what is commonly held in the scientific world, indicates that the Supreme Court is of the idea that psychotherapy is a therapy which offers a cure for real and proper diseases, which cannot have an organic basis if they can be cured by "talking".

Mass spectrometry-based phytochemical screening for hypoglycemic activity of Fagioli di Sarconi beans (<em>Phaseolus vulgaris L.</em>).
No full textThe present study deals with the evaluation of antidiabetic activities of Fagioli di Sarconi beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), including 21 ecotypes protected by the European Union with the mark PGI (i.e., Protected Geographical Indication), and cultivated in Basilicata (southern Italy). For this purpose, α-glucosidase and α-amylase assays were assessed; among all bean ecotypes, the tight green seed colour of Verdolino extracts exhibited the highest α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibitory activity with IC50 = 1.1 ± 0.1 μg/ml and IC50 = 19.3 ± 1.1 μg/ml, respectively. Phytochemical compound screening of all Fagioli di Sarconi beans performed by flow injection-electrospray ionization-ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry (uHRMS) and based on the calculation of elemental formulas from accurate m/z values, was helpful to annotate specific compounds, such as alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids, and terpenoids, which are most likely responsible for their biological activity

On a chemotaxis model with nonlinear diffusion modelling multiple sclerosis
No full textWe investigated existence of global weak solutions for a system of chemotaxis-hapotaxis type with nonlinear degenerate diffusion arising in modelling multiple sclerosis disease. The model consists of three equations describing the evolution of macrophages (m), cytokine (c) and apoptotic oligodendrocytes (d) densities. The main novelty in our work is the presence of a nonlinear diffusivity D(m), which results to be more appropriate from the modelling point of view. Under suitable assumptions and for sufficiently regular initial data, adapting the strategy in Li and Lankeit (Nonlinearity 29:1564-1595, 2016) and Tao and Winkler (SIAM J Math Anal 43:685-704, 2011), we show the existence of global bounded solutions for the model analysed
Complex carbohydrates occurring in the digestive apparatus of the Umbrina cirrosa (L.) fry
No full textThe glycosoaminoglycans in the digestive apparatus of immature fish have important biological functions and are involved in morphofunctional differentiation. The aim of this study was to investigate the glycoconjugate histochemistry in the different parts of the digestive apparatus (oesophagus, stomach, intestine) of Umbrina cirrosa (L.) fry using classical histochemical reactions (periodic acid-Schiff, Alcian blue pH 2.5, Alcian blue/periodic acid-Schiff, high iron diamine, low iron diamine) in conjunction with glycolytic digestions that degrade different classes of glycosoaminoglycans. No differences were observed in the reactivity to conventional histochemical staining of the oesophagus, stomach or intestine among 27-, 34- or 44-day-old fry. In the oesophagus, the mucopolysaccharides contained chondroitin sulphates B and A and/or C, heparan sulphate and chondroitin. In the stomach, only neutral glycoconjugates were revealed, whereas in the intestine there were only chondroitin sulphates. Some differences in the type and content of glycoconjugates were found in Umbrina cirrosa (L.) fry compared to those of adult subjects, probably related to different dietary habits and to changes in the environmental conditions

No full textResponse of traditional cultivars of Fagioli di Sarconi beans to artificial inoculation with common bacterial blight agents
No full textCultivars of the Fagioli di Sarconi are a pool of high value common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) traditional cultivars selected from various landraces. These cultivars are protected by the European Union (Reg. CEE n° 1263/96) with the mark PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) and are cultivated in Basilicata (southern Italy) for the production of dry seeds. Fagioli di Sarconi cultivars are susceptible to common bacterial blight (CBB), a disease caused by the varieties fuscans and non-fuscans of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli. Five Fagioli di Sarconi cultivars (Tondino bianco, Verdolino, Cannellino, Tabacchino and Ciuoto) were artificially inoculated with two virulent strains of this bacterium, representative of 59 recently characterized strains of both the fuscans and non-fuscans varieties, with the aim to evaluate the susceptibility of these cultivars to the pathogens. Four CBB–resistant breeding–lines were used for comparison. Suspensions of the bacterium were injected into the first trifoliate leaflets of bean plants and produced typical CBB symptoms on the Fagioli di Sarconi cultivars, and hypersensitive necrotic lesions on the CBB–resistant breeding–lines. When cultivars were inoculated with the strain of the variety fuscans, Tondino bianco, Verdolino and Cannellino were more susceptible than Tabacchino and Ciuoto, whereas when they were inoculated with the non–fuscans strains, Tondino bianco, Tabacchino and Verdolino were more susceptible than Ciuoto and Cannellino. The tolerant cultivars appeared good candidates for the introgression of CBB–resistance characters in a breeding programme. The varying response of the traditional Fagioli di Sarconi bean cultivars to artificial inoculation suggests that several plant and pathogen factors are involved in the interaction between X. a. pv. phaseoli varieties and the bean cultivars
