Abstract
This is the eighteenth case of testicular tumor in a father and son reported in the literature. The father had a seminoma and the son an embryonal carcinoma. The trend favoring more malignant tumors occurring at younger ages in the sons is confirmed by this report.

Abstract
Galectin-1 (Gal-1) is required for the development of B cells in the bone marrow (BM), however very little is known about the contribution of Gal-1 to the development of B cell regulatory function. Here, we report an important role for Gal-1 in the induction of B cells regulatory function. Mice deficient of Gal-1 (Gal-1−/−) showed significant loss of Transitional-2 (T2) B cells, previously reported to include IL-10+ regulatory B cells. Gal-1−/− B cells stimulated in vitro via CD40 molecules have impaired IL-10 and Tim-1 expression, the latter reported to be required for IL-10 production in regulatory B cells, and increased TNF-α expression compared to wild type (WT) B cells. Unlike their WT counterparts, T2 and T1 Gal-1−/− B cells did not suppress TNF-α expression by CD4+ T cells activated in vitro with allogenic DCs (allo-DCs), nor were they suppressive in vivo, being unable to delay MHC-class I mismatched skin allograft rejection following adoptive transfer. Moreover, T cells stimulated with allo-DCs show an increase in their survival when co-cultured with Gal-1−/− T2 and MZ B cells compared to WT T2 and MZ B cells. Collectively, these data suggest that Gal-1 contributes to the induction of B cells regulatory function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Obesity plays a dominant role in the etiology of atrial fibrillation (AF), and the maintenance of a normal body mass index (BMI) seems to prevent and even reduce the incidence of the arrhythmia's recurrence. We selected 270 patients (pts) to assess whether this therapeutic effect was statistically significant even in Mediterranean patients. METHOD AND RESULTS In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed every symptomatic AF relapse during a total follow-up of 657 patient-years. Clinical data, BMI variations, and pts' history were available in our clinical database. We divided the pts in four groups (Gs), according to their BMI variation during the follow-up: G1, normal weight pts, maintaining their weight; G2, overweight pts, losing weight; G3, overweight pts, maintaining their weight; G4, pts gaining weight. Their follow-up (in months) was normalized according to their AF relapses, thus obtaining a mean AF-free period for each patient. Among the overweight groups, G2 showed the best AF-free period (9.7 months). However, G3 and G4 showed a reduced AF-free interval (4.6 and 1.7 months, respectively). G1, predictably, had the longest AF-free period (10 months). CONCLUSION The results of the present study confirm that simple non-invasive intervention aimed to normalize BMI and to control risk factors through appropriate lifestyle can be highly effective in reducing the AF burden, by acting on comorbidities and proarrhythmic mechanisms. Therefore, serious attempt should be made to correct risk factors before an ablation therapy is proposed.

Abstract
The concept of regulatory T cell (Treg ) therapy in transplantation is now a reality. Significant advances in science and technology have enabled us to isolate human Tregs , expand them to clinically relevant numbers and infuse them into human transplant recipients. With several Phase I/II trials under way investigating Treg safety and efficacy it is now more crucial than ever to understand their complex biology. However, our journey is by no means complete; results from these trials will undoubtedly provoke both further knowledge and enquiry which, alongside evolving science, will continue to drive the optimization of Treg therapy in the pursuit of transplantation tolerance. In this review we will summarize current knowledge of Treg biology, explore novel technologies in the setting of Treg immunotherapy and address key prerequisites surrounding the clinical application of Tregs in transplantation.
