Abstract
Abstract
Background
Severe aortic stenosis (AS) and functional mitral regurgitation (MR) frequently coexist. There is no consensus about the optimal therapeutic strategy for patients with combined valve disease. Evidence has shown that double valve surgery is associated with high complication rates and mortality, whereas MR severity may improve after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
Purpose
Aim of our study was to evaluate hemodynamic parameters and cardiac function in patients with severe AS and concomitant MR undergoing TAVI.
Methods
We prospectively enrolled consecutive TAVI patients with concomitant MR. Exclusion criteria were primary cardiomyopathies, prior valve surgery, permanent atrial fibrillation and inadequate echocardiographic imaging. Echo-Doppler assessment, including global longitudinal strain (GLS) and peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS) (absolute value), was performed before TAVI and after 1-3 months. MR grading was assessed according to quantitative methods (vena contracta and/or PISA). Changes (Δ) of the main echo parameters before and after intervention were computed. On the basis of MR grading changes, the study population was divided in two groups: no improvement in MR grading (NIMR) and improvement in MR grading (IMR).
Results
Of 49 included patients (M/F = 20/29, age 80.7 ± 5.6 years), 23 had mild MR and 26 moderate to severe MR before TAVI. After the procedure, MR grading improved in 11 (IMR) and remained stable in 38 (NIMR) patients. The two groups were comparable for sex, age, body mass index, blood pressure and heart rate. After TAVI, both groups showed an improvement in GLS (17.8 ± 4.7 to 20.1 ± 4.4%, p < 0.0001 and 16.8 ± 3.8 to 19.0 ± 3.1%, p < 0.01, in NIMR and IMR respectively) and in PALS (20.4 ± 7.4 to 24.2 ± 7.3%, p < 0.0001 in NIMR and 19.5 ± 4.5 to 26.7 ± 6.1%, p < 0.001, in NIMR and IMR respectively), without significant changes in ejection fraction (p = 0.12). Only in IMR group, a significant decrease of systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (sPAP) (45.5 ± 10.6 to 36.3 ± 6.9 mmHg, p < 0.001) and left atrial volume index (54.9 ± 14.8 to 48.9 ± 13.3 ml/m², p < 0.01) was observed after TAVI. Changes of sPAP (ΔsPAP) (9.1 ± 6.4 vs. -0.07 ± 6.7, p < 0.0001) was higher and ΔPALS (-7.2 ± 5.1 vs. -3.8 ± 4.3, p < 0.03) lower in IMR compared with NIMR group (Figure). By a multiple linear regression analysis performed in the pooled population, after adjusting for ΔPALS, Δ aortic valve area and ΔGLS, the association between ΔsPAP and MR grading improvement remained significant (beta = 0.53, p < 0.001) (cumulative R²=0.31, SEE = 6.9 mmHg, p = 0.007).
Conclusion
Afterload reduction following TAVI may induce hemodynamic changes determining also a reduction in MR severity. This mechanism implies a reduction in left atrial pressure, whose PALS is a reliable marker, and a consequent reduction of post-capillary pulmonary hypertension. The association between MR improvement and ΔsPAP reduction is independent on echocardiographic confounders.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Dobutamine stress echo (DSE) is a sensitive but subjective test of inducible ischemia. Speckle tracking allows now a quantitative assessment of regional wall motion, even during DSE.
Purpose
To investigate the feasibility and accuracy of global and regional longitudinal strain during DSE to detect significant CAD.
Methods
This is a prospective, observational study, including 88 patients undergoing DSE for suspected CAD. Thirthy-three patients with negative DSE were excluded from analysis. The remaining 50 patients (82% males, mean age 66.3 ± 8.2 years) with positive DSE underwent subsequent invasive coronary angiography (CA). Besides visual regional wall motion score index (WMSI), global longitudinal strain (GLS) and regional longitudinal strain (RLS) were determined at rest, at peak stress and at early recovery by a dedicated software (Automated Function Imaging) incorporated in a quoad-screen of the echo machine and activated by automatic quantification. Obstructive CAD was defined as >70% stenosis or intermediate stenosis combined with fractional flow reserve <0.80.
Results
The feasibility of DES regional longitudinal strain was 100% (n = 50/50) in the pooled population. Fifteen patients did not show coronary stenosis whereas obstructive CAD was detected in 35 patients (12 with multi-vessel disease). Among these patients, 18 patients had left anterior descending artery (LAD) stenosis, 18 left circumflex coronary artery (LCX) stenosis and 15 right coronary artery (RCA) stenosis. GLS reduction at peak stress (k = 0.253, p = 0.037) and WMSI increase at peak stress (k = 0.217, p = 0.04) showed mild but significant agreement with CA for detecting significant coronary stenosis, whereas the agreement of GLS at recovery (k=-0.087, p = 0.518) was poor. When single lesion territory was considered, GLS at peak stress (17.4 ± 5.5 vs 20.5 ± 4.4%, p = 0.034) and LAD longitudinal strain (= average of 8 myocardial segments: middle and apical posterior septum, basal, middle and apical anterior septum, basal, middle and apical anterior wall) at peak stress showed significantly lower values in the obstructed LAD regions than the territories perfused by non-obstructed coronary arteries (17.1 ± 7.6 vs 21.6 ± 5.5% p = 0.021). Conversely, in presence of significant LCX or RCA stenosis, visual regional wall motion of LCX and RCA territories were higher at peak stress (WMSI LCX = 1.80 ± 0.65 in presence of LCX stenosis vs. 1.38 ± 0.44 in absence of stenosis, p < 0.01; WMSI RCA = 1.89 ± 0.52 in presence of RCA stenosis vs. 1.42 ± 0.42 in absence of stenosis, p = 0.002), but RLS at peak stress showed a trend to increase, without achieving the statistical significance (RLS RCA: p = 0.128, RLS LCX: p = 0.103).
Conclusion
AFI-based strain quantitative analysis appears to be highly feasible during DSE. It appears also to be more accurate than the visual wall motion for the detection of myocardial ischemia in presence of LAD while the accuracy is suboptimal in patients with LCX and RCA stenosis.

Abstract
Abstract
An interlaboratory study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of an immunoaffinity column cleanup liquid chromatography (LC) method for the determination of aflatoxin B1 levels in corn samples, enforced by European Union legislation. A test portion was extracted with methanolwater (80 + 20); the extract was filtered, diluted with phosphate-buffered saline solution, filtered on a microfiber glass filter, and applied to an immunoaffinity column. The column was washed with deionized water to remove interfering compounds, and the purified aflatoxin B1 was eluted with methanol. Aflatoxin B1 was separated and determined by reversed-phase LC with fluorescence detection after either pre- or postcolumn derivatization. Precolumn derivatization was achieved by generating the trifluoroacetic acid derivative, used by 8 laboratories. The postcolumn derivatization was achieved either with pyridinium hydrobromide perbromide, used by 16 laboratories, or with an electrochemical cell by the addition of bromide to the mobile phase, used by 5 laboratories. The derivatization techniques used were not significantly different when compared by the Student's t-test; the method was statistically evaluated for all the laboratories. Five corn sample materials, both spiked and naturally contaminated, were sent to 29 laboratories (22 Italian and 7 European). Test portions were spiked with aflatoxin B1 at levels of 2.00 and 5.00 ng/g. The mean values for recovery were 82% for the low level and 84% for the high contamination level. Based on results for spiked samples (blind pairs at 2 levels) as well as naturally contaminated samples (blind pairs at 3 levels), the values for relative standard deviation for repeatability (RSDr) ranged from 9.9 to 28.7%. The values for relative standard deviation for reproducibility (RSDR) ranged from 18.6 to 36.8%. The method demonstrated acceptable within- and between-laboratory precision for this matrix, as evidenced by the HorRat values.

Abstract
Synchrony refers to the coordinated interplay of behavioural and physiological signals that reflect the bi-directional attunement of one partner to the other’s psychophysiological, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral state. In mother-child relationships, a synchronous pattern of interaction indicates parental sensitivity. Parenting stress has been shown to undermine mother-child behavioural synchrony. However, it has yet to be discerned whether parenting stress affects brain-to-brain synchrony during everyday joint activities. Here, we show that greater parenting stress is associated with less brain-to-brain synchrony in the medial left cluster of the prefrontal cortex when mother and child engage in a typical dyadic task of watching animation videos together. This brain region overlaps with the inferior frontal gyrus, the frontal eye field, and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which are implicated in inference of mental states and social cognition. Our result demonstrates the adverse effect of parenting stress on mother-child attunement that is evident at a brain-to-brain level. Mother-child brain-to-brain asynchrony may underlie the robust association between parenting stress and poor dyadic co-regulation. We anticipate our study to form the foundation for future investigations into mechanisms by which parenting stress impairs the mother-child relationship.

Abstract
An original mechanistic model able to describe the fate of trace elements (TE) in anaerobic digestion systems has been synthetized from mass balance equations. The model takes into account the main biochemical and physico-chemical processes affecting TE bioavailability and it is aimed at evaluating the effect that the combination of such processes exerts on the system performance. Five main modules have been introduced: biochemistry, physico-chemistry, sorption, complexation and precipitation. The model is based on mass conservation principles and is formulated as a set of ordinary differential equations for the soluble and particulate components constituting the system. Model applications of two illustrative cases are provided. The first case is based on experimental results and examines the effect of TE depletion in an AD process of food waste (FW). The second case shows the effects of different metal supplements on methane production and biogas composition. The simulation results confirm that the model can fairly be used to predict the effect of TE dynamics and bioavailability, by considering biological, chemical and physicochemical processes in AD environments.

Abstract
This paper describes the validation process of the Italian version of the Rheumatoid Arthritis Pain Scale (ITRAPS), describing its translation and adaptation to Italian culture. The cultural adaptation and validation were based on data from a sample of people affected by rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The process required a forward and backward translation of the original language, reviewed by an expert panel. The adapted version of the RAPS was then tested on a community and clinical sample, in order to test its psychometric properties. The IT-RAPS was submitted to 122 people affected by RA. The data was analyzed using Cronbach's coefficient alpha and the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients. The IT-RAPS showed an internal consistency reliability coefficient of 0.96. This is the first study reporting the validation and cross-cultural adaptation of the RAPS in Italian. The study's findings provided support for the IT-RAPS as a reliable and valid measurement of multidimensional pain in RA patients.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have shown the efficacy of tapentadol (TP) for chronic cancer pain. We evaluated multiple effectiveness aspects of TP prolonged release on moderate–severe cancer-related pain, neuropathic pain (NeP), patient satisfaction, and quality of life. Methods An observational prospective study was conducted on 80 cancer patients. Opioid-naïve patients received a starting dose of prolonged-release TP 50 mg twice daily, and opioid-experienced patients were switched to TP, not to exceed 500 mg/day. Treatment response was evaluated at 3, 6, 30–40, and 60–70 days through response rate, numeric rating-scale scoring, survival analysis (time to event for response), pain-intensity difference, TP escalation-index percentage, and effects on NeP. The drug-sparing effect on concomitant therapies was evaluated. Results Seventy of 80 patients (88%) were responders to treatment (95% CI 78%–94%). Compared to T0, pain-intensity reductions were statistically significant for all intervals (P<0.01), with better results at T3/T4. NeP was significantly reduced at T4 (P<0.01). The probability of response was low at the initial stages and increased during the study. Pain-intensity differences decreased during the study, though without significance. Two patients (2.5%) left the study for TP-induced side effects. A significant improvement in quality of life was observed after 30–40 days (P<0.01). The majority of patients were “satisfied”, “very satisfied”, or “extremely satisfied” (T3–T4). Conclusion TP was effective in terms of drug-sparing effect, response rate, TP escalation-index percentage, and NeP management. By comparing data from the survival analysis with the response rate and time to response (numeric rating scale from T0 to T4), we found that although TP induced a quick response, a longer period of therapy and higher doses were needed to improve the positive result.

Abstract
Preclinical and clinical evidences have demonstrated that astroglial-derived S100B protein is a key element in neuroinflammation underlying the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD), so much as that S100B inhibitors have been proposed as promising candidates for PD targeted therapy. Pentamidine, an old-developed antiprotozoal drug, currently used for pneumocystis carinii is one of the most potent inhibitors of S100B activity, but despite this effect, is limited by its low capability to cross blood brain barrier (BBB). To overcome this problem, we developed a non-invasive intranasal delivery system, chitosan coated niosomes with entrapped pentamidine (inPentasomes), in the attempt to provide a novel pharmacological approach to ameliorate parkinsonism induced by subchronic MPTP administration in C57BL-6 J mice. inPentasomes, prepared by evaporation method was administered daily by intranasal route in subchronic MPTP-intoxicated rodents and resulted in a dose-dependent manner (0.001-0.004 mg/kg) capable for a significant Tyrosine Hydroxylase (TH) positive neuronal density rescue in both striatum and substantia nigra of parkinsonian mice. In parallel, inPentasomes significantly decreased the extent of glial-related neuroinflammation through the reduction of specific gliotic markers (Iba-1, GFAP, COX-2, iNOS) with consequent PGE2 and NO2- release reduction, in nigrostriatal system. inPentasomes-mediated S100B inhibition resulted in a RAGE/NF-κB pathway downstream inhibition in the nigrostriatal circuit, causing a marked amelioration of motor performances in intoxicated mice. On the basis of our results, chitosan coated niosomes loaded with pentamidine, the inPentasome system, self-candidates as a promising new intranasal approach to mitigate parkinsonism in humans and possibly paves the way for a possible clinical repositioning of pentamidine as anti-PD drug.

Abstract
A local sensitivity analysis was performed for a chemically synthesized elemental sulfur (S0)-based two-step denitrification model, accounting for nitrite (NO2 -) accumulation, biomass growth and S0 hydrolysis. The sensitivity analysis was aimed at verifying the model stability, understanding the model structure and individuating the model parameters to be further optimized. The mass specific area of the sulfur particles (a*) and hydrolysis kinetic constant (k1) were identified as the dominant parameters on the model outputs, i.e. nitrate (NO3 -), NO2 - and sulfate (SO4 2-) concentrations, confirming that the microbially catalyzed S0 hydrolysis is the rate-limiting step during S0-driven denitrification. Additionally, the maximum growth rates of the denitrifying biomass on NO3 - and NO2 - were detected as the most sensitive kinetic parameters.

Abstract
Fish consumption is the principal source of intake of organochlorinated compounds in humans. Compared with other types of foods of animal origin, fish contain the highest levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo- p-dioxins, and polychlorinated dibenzofurans, all of which are classified as highly toxic organochlorine compounds. Currently, lakes and fish farms in northern Italy are not regularly monitored for PCBs and dioxins in areas contaminated by industrial sources, partially because of the high costs of traditional analytical methods that limit the number of samples to be analyzed. The DR-CALUX cell bioassay is based on the uptake of the cellular aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) for dioxins and dioxin-like compounds. The aim of this study was to assess the levels of dioxins and dioxin-like PCB contamination in Lake Maggiore and Lake Como, two lakes in northwestern Italy, and in nearby areas. The levels were quantified using the cell bioassay DR-CALUX and reference controls in two wild fish species, perch ( Perca fluviatilis) and roach ( Rutilus rutilus), and in a farmed species, rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss). Tissue samples collected from the farmed rainbow trout were also submitted to immunohistochemical analysis of CYP1A expression as a marker for environmental pollutant-induced liver damage. The levels of dioxins, furans, and dioxin-like PCBs were all below the maximum levels and action limits set by European Union Regulation, suggesting no risk for human health associated with the consumption of the fish species caught or farmed in these areas.
