    Analysis of bio-chemicals extractable from untreated wood waste

    Gas-chromatography combined with mass spectroscopy was used to identify low-molecular weight organic compounds in two arboreal species. The woody extracts of seasoned heartwood of Quercus petraea and Myrocarpus frondosus, of interest to the parquet industry and the environmental field, were investigated. Different alkali extraction procedures were carried out using a CH3OH/H2O (1:1, v/v) solution. Particularly high extraction rates were obtained for antioxidant compounds such as ferulic acid (1.596 mg/g), syringaldehyde (0.74 mg/g), vanillic acid (0.327 mg/g) and gallic acid (0.114 mg/g). (E)-coniferyl alcohol, ranging from 0.006 mg/g to 0.099 mg/g, was found in all the samples, depending on the sample and extraction procedure, suggesting its use as an indicator of lignin degradation under alkali hydrolysis

    The amount of phytochemicals of interest for the pharmaceutical and food industry extractable from wooden biomasses largely exploited in the furniture and construction sectors as Myrocarpus frondosus, Robinia presudoacacia and three Quercus species were investigated. Adopting modified methanol based extraction protocols, particularly high amounts of antioxidant as ferulic acid 1.596 mg/g, syringaldehyde 0.74 mg/g, vanillic acid 0.327 mg/g and gallic acid 0.114 mg/g were extracted. (E)-coniferyl alcohol, ranging from 0.006 mg/g to 0.099 mg/g, was found in all the samples suggesting its use as an indicator of lignin degradation under alkali hydrolysis

    A randomized trial of everolimus and low-dose cyclosporine in renal transplantation: with or without steroids?

    This multicenter, randomized, prospective, controlled trial (EVIDENCE study) aimed to determine short-term effects of early steroid withdrawal in renal transplant patients initially treated with everolimus, low-dose cyclosporine (CsA), and steroids. Patients were randomized to standard triple therapy with CsA, everolimus twice daily and steroids (group A), steroid-free immunosuppression (group B), or triple therapy once daily (group C). However, since patient enrollment was slower than expected, group C randomization was prematurely discontinued. The primary end point was treatment failure rate (composite end point of death, graft loss, biopsy-proven acute rejection, and loss to follow-up) between randomization and month 12. Patients evaluable for the primary end point included 139 randomized patients. According to intention-to-treat analysis, 2.8% of patients in group A and 14.7% in group B experienced treatment failure (95% upper confidence limit 19.7%). As this was higher than the predefined noninferiority limit of 10%, noninferiority could not be proved. No conclusive statements can be made on noninferiority of the steroid withdrawal regimen vs the standard regimen in these patients. Additional studies with longer follow-up are required to determine the efficacy of steroid-free immunosuppression in renal transplant recipients receiving everolimus
