Abstract
BACKGROUND Borderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) represent a type of epithelial tumors having a biologic intermediate behavior between clearly malignant and straight benign tumors. Most of BOTs interest women during fertile age, for which it is necessary to consider a fertility sparing surgery. AIM To evaluate the clinical aspects and pregnancy rate of women affected by borderline ovarian tumors who have undergone fertility sparing surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS A study of 22 patients affected by BOTs who have been treated with a fertility sparing surgery was conducted between January 2005 and October 2011 at Sant'Andrea Hospital, "Sapienza" University of Rome. The patients' characteristics analyzed were: age, histological type, tumor size, adnexal surgery, pre-operative serum CA-125, diagnostic circumstances, number of patients who became pregnant and number of overall pregnancies. RESULTS Among the 22 patients treated with a fertility sparing surgery, only sixteen wanted to get pregnant. Eleven patents out of 16 accomplished it. The pregnancy rate was 68.7%. CONCLUSIONS Fertility sparing surgery can be considered a safe procedure for young women affected by borderline ovarian tumors.

Abstract
The gastrointestinal tract is the predominant site of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Multiple lynphomatous polyposis is a type of appearance of mantle cell lymphoma. It is characterized by multiple polypoid lesions involving long gastrointestinal tracts and it accounts for only approximately 1-2% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas. A 78 years old patient was admitted to our Department of General Surgery with rectal bleeding, abdominal pain and weight loss. Multiple lymphomatous polyposis was detected by endoscopy. Endoscopic biopsies confirmed the diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma. The patient was transferred to the Department of Hematology for cycles of chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN) is a premalingnant condition. For long time, surgery was considered the first-line therapy in the treatment of high grade VIN. Imiquimod was recently introduced as an alternative to surgery. AIM To compare the overall complete response, the recurrence rate and the risk factors for relapse among patients with VIN 2/3 treated with Imiquimod or surgical excision. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eighty women who had histological diagnosis of VIN 2 and VIN 3 were enrolled in this prospective study. Patients immunocompromised, with recurrent VIN, with well differentiated type VIN or VIN 1 and women treated more than once were excluded from the study. Patients were divided into two groups: group A was treated with Imiquimod, group B underwent surgical excision. Patients' characteristics analyzed were: age, smoking, degree of the primary lesion, state of margins, multifocal disease. We have evaluated the recurrence rate, the relapse rate, and the overall complete response, considering as recurrence the onset of a lesion after an initial complete response to Imiquimod and/or after the surgical treatment and as relapse all patients who had a recurrence plus those with medical treatment failure. RESULTS Multifocal lesions (p = 0.03) and VIN 3 (p = 0.002) were associated with a higher risk of relapse. The recurrence rate was higher in the group B (p = 0.009), but the relapse rate was higher in the group A (p = 0.04). The overall complete response was better in the group B (p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS Although the advent of new medical options can decrease the morbidity associated with invasive surgical procedures, surgical treatments remain the best treatment modality for VIN with regard to relapse and overall complete response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Baseline impedance measurement has been reported to be related to esophageal acid exposure and hypothesized to be a marker of microscopic changes of the esophageal mucosa. Aims of the study were to establish whether any relationship existed between the magnitude of intercellular space diameter (ISD) of esophageal mucosa and baseline impedance levels in children with gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), and to compare baseline impedance levels between children with non erosive (NERD) and erosive (ERD) reflux disease. METHODS Fifteen children (median age: 11.2 years) with NERD, and 11 with ERD (median age: 9.6 years) were prospectively studied. All patients underwent upper endoscopy. Biopsies were taken 2-3cm above the Z-line, and ISD was measured using transmission electron microscopy. All patients underwent impedance pH-monitoring, and baseline impedance levels were assessed in the most distal impedance channel. KEY RESULTS Mean (±SD) ISD did not differ between NERD (1.0±0.3μm) and ERD (1.1 ± 0.3 μm, ns). Considering all patients together, no correlation was found between distal baseline impedance and ISD (r: -0.15; ns). Conversely, negative correlations were found between distal baseline impedance and acid exposure time (r: -0.76; P<0.001), long-lasting reflux episodes (r: -0.78; P<0.001), acid reflux episodes (r: -0.62; P<0.001), and acid clearance time (r: -0.79; P<0.001). Distal baseline impedance was significantly lower in ERD [1455 (947-2338) Ω] than in NERD children [3065 (2253-3771) Ω; P<0.01]. CONCLUSIONS & INFERENCES In children with GERD baseline impedance levels are not useful in predicting reflux-induced ultrastructural changes in the esophageal mucosa, despite their ability to discriminate between NERD and ERD.

Abstract
A precise guideline establishing chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) applications and platforms in the prenatal setting does not exist. The controversial question is whether CMA technologies can or should soon replace standard karyotyping in prenatal diagnostic practice. A review of the recent literature and survey of the knowledge and experience of all members of the Italian Society of Human Genetics (SIGU) Committee were carried out in order to propose recommendations for the use of CMA in prenatal testing. The analysis of datasets reported in the medical literature showed a considerable 6.4% incidence of pathogenic copy number variations (CNVs) in the group of pregnancies with sonographically detected fetal abnormalities and normal karyotype. The reported CNVs are likely to have a relevant role in terms of nosology for the fetus and in the assessment of reproductive risk for the couple. Estimation of the frequency of copy number variations of uncertain significance (VOUS) varied depending on the different CMA platforms used, ranging from 0-4%, obtained using targeted arrays, to 9-12%, obtained using high-resolution whole genome single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays. CMA analysis can be considered a second-tier diagnostic test to be used after standard karyotyping in selected groups of pregnancies, namely those with single (apparently isolated) or multiple ultrasound fetal abnormalities, those with chromosomal rearrangements, even if apparently balanced, and those with supernumerary marker chromosomes.

Abstract
Several studies have suggested a possible role for HPV in the pathogenesis of the breast cancer. We investigated the presence of the HPV DNA in breast cancers and non malignant disease breast tissues by the use of a standard HPV detection method (INNO-Lipa HPV), in order to detect HPV DNA in metastatic nodes, to investigate a possible cervical HPV co-infection, and to evaluate the E6/E7 mRNA expression in HPV DNA positive breast cancer tissues. The rate of HPV infection was significantly higher in the cancer group than in controls (9/31 vs. 0/12, p = 0.04). One out of eight metastatic axillary nodes was positive for HPV infection; 2/3 of the positive HPV breast cancer patients were co-infected at the cervical site. The role of the virus in breast oncogenesis is still unclear, since our analysis failed in demonstrating the expression of viral E6 and E7 in positive HPV positive breast tumor tissues.

Abstract
Detecting acute HIV infection is important, but often the infection is difficult to recognize. We report the case of a 23-year-old man with persistent genital ulceration; all microbiological examinations from the ulcers were negative. HIV-1/2 antibodies were positive, but the HIV-1 Western blot (WB) was indeterminate and HIV-1 p24 antigen was persistently negative, with a low HIV-1 RNA level. One month later, the genital ulcerations disappeared and the WB test showed complete seroconversion; nonetheless HIV p24 antigen remained negative and HIV-RNA was persistently low. HIV-1 proviral DNA was detected by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from the initial ulcers swabs. This case was notable due to genital ulceration being the only sign of primary HIV infection. Furthermore, the serological pattern was unusual, and HIV-RNA was unexpectedly low. This underlines the importance of screening for HIV being infection in the setting of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and also in cases of atypical STI-like presentations.

Abstract
AIM Milligan-Morgan operation is still considered the treatment of choice for IV-degree haemorrhoids: it is frequently associated with significant postoperative pain and prolonged hospital stay. Many instruments were conceived to reduce these complications, such as the LigaSure™ (LS) system, a combination of radiofrequency and pressure that seems mainly effective where a large tissue demolition is required. This randomized study is METHODS Fifty-two patients with IV-degree hemorrhoids were randomly assigned to two different surgical treatments (conventional diathermy vs. LigaSure™ hemorrhoidectomy). They were evaluated on the basis of the following main outcomes: mean operative time, postoperative pain, day of discharge early and late complications. The time of recovery of work was also assessed. All patients had a minimum follow-up of twelve months (range 12-24). All data were statistically evaluated. RESULTS Twenty-seven patients were treated by conventional diathermy, 25 by LigaSure™. The mean operative time was significantly shorter in LS, such as postoperative pain, mainly lower on the third and fourth postoperative day: moreover pain disappeared earlier in LS than CD. The time off-work was shorter in LS, while there was no difference in hospital stay and overall complications rate . CONCLUSION This randomized prospective controlled trial confirms, according to other large trials in literature , the benefits of the LigaSure™ hemorrhoidectomy over conventional diathermy when a large tissue demolition is required, supporting the use of this device as treatment of choice in IV degree hemorrhoids, even if the procedure is more expensive than conventional operation.

Abstract
X;Y translocation is a relatively rare event in humans. Analyzed cytogenetically, the majority of these aberrations have breakpoints at Xp22 and Yq11. Females with t(X;Y)(p22;q11) are phenotypically normal except for short stature, while the males may have abnormalities. Aberrations that lead to nullisomy of the deleted region and complete loss of the respective genes have been recognized as a cause of variable contiguous gene syndromes in males. The phenotype depends on the extent and position of the deletion showing the variable association of apparently unrelated clinical manifestations such as ichthyosis, chondrodysplasia punctata, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism with anosmia, ocular albinism, short stature, and mental retardation. In addition, some patients have been reported with symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The extent of terminal Xp deletions is limited by the presence of male lethal genes in Xp22.2 at about 10-11 Mb from the telomere. The deletions in the majority of viable reported male patients extend to the STS ( approximately 7.0 Mb) or to the KAL1 ( approximately 8.5 Mb) loci. We present a clinical, cytogenetic, FISH, and array CGH study of a family with an Xp;Yq translocation. The chromosomal status is also discussed in the light of their phenotypic traits. The final karyotypes of the patients were designated as: Patient 1: 46,Y,der(X),t(X;Y)(p22;q12).ish der(X)(Xpter-,DXZ1+,Xqter+)mat.arr cgh Xp22.31p22.33(RP11-60P14 --> RP13-391G2)x0;arr cgh Yq11.221qter (RP11-235I1 --> RP11-270H4)x2.Patient 2: 46,X,der(X),t(X;Y)(p22;q12).ish der(X)(Xpter-,DXZ1+,Xqter+)mat.arr cgh Xp22.31p22.33(RP11-60P14 --> RP13-391G2)x1;arr cgh Yq11.221qter (RP11-235I1 --> RP11-270H4)x1.
