Abstract
BACKGROUND Mulberry (Morus spp.) is a genus comprising several species of deciduous trees whose fruits are commonly eaten in southern Europe. Subjects with severe systemic reaction have been described. The aim of this study was to isolate the allergens of this species. METHODS A nonspecific lipid transfer protein 1 (ns-LTP1) was purified from black mulberry by ion exchange and reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography, and the primary structure was elucidated by direct protein sequencing. Its allergenic activity was evaluated in vivo by skin prick test and in vitro by Western Blot, CD203c basophil activation assay and high throughput multiplex inhibition method on immunosolid-phase allergen chip (ISAC). RESULTS Mulberry ns-LTP (Mor n 3) comprises 91 amino acids producing a molecular mass of 9246 Da. This protein shows high sequence identity with several allergenic ns-LTP1. Immunoblot analysis and CD203c activation assay demonstrated its allergenic activity in symptomatic subjects and in ns-LTP allergic patients who are not mulberry consumers. Immunological co-recognition was studied in vivo on a selected group of well-characterized ns-LTP allergic patients showing a high percentage of nMor n 3(+) subjects (88.46%) even in patients who have never eaten mulberry before. IgE inhibition on ISAC micro-array demonstrated an almost complete cross-reactivity to nArt v 3, rCor a 8 and a very high percentage of inhibition to nPru p 3. CONCLUSIONS Mor n 3 is the first allergen isolated in black mulberry and immunologically characterized. It displayed allergenic activity among symptomatic and nonconsumer patients and a pattern of cross-reactivity to other plant-derived LTPs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND One third to two thirds of people with schizophrenia have persistent psychotic symptoms despite clozapine treatment. Under real-world circumstances, the need to provide effective therapeutic interventions to patients who do not have an optimal response to clozapine has been cited as the most common reason for simultaneously prescribing a second antipsychotic drug in combination treatment strategies. In a clinical area where the pressing need of providing therapeutic answers has progressively increased the occurrence of antipsychotic polypharmacy, despite the lack of robust evidence of its efficacy, we sought to implement a pre-planned protocol where two alternative therapeutic answers are systematically provided and evaluated within the context of a pragmatic, multicentre, independent randomised study. METHODS/DESIGN The principal clinical question to be answered by the present project is the relative efficacy and tolerability of combination treatment with clozapine plus aripiprazole compared with combination treatment with clozapine plus haloperidol in patients with an incomplete response to treatment with clozapine over an appropriate period of time. This project is a prospective, multicentre, randomized, parallel-group, superiority trial that follow patients over a period of 12 months. Withdrawal from allocated treatment within 3 months is the primary outcome. DISCUSSION The implementation of the protocol presented here shows that it is possible to create a network of community psychiatric services that accept the idea of using their everyday clinical practice to produce randomised knowledge. The employed pragmatic attitude allowed to randomly allocate more than 100 individuals, which means that this study is the largest antipsychotic combination trial conducted so far in Western countries. We expect that the current project, by generating evidence on whether it is clinically useful to combine clozapine with aripiprazole rather than with haloperidol, provides physicians with a solid evidence base to be directly applied in the routine care of patients with schizophrenia.

Abstract #5154
Background:
 The phrase “Oncoplastic breast surgery” originated with the concept of avoiding mastectomy by means of wide tumour excision coupled with breast reconstruction. Oncoplastic procedures (OP) have been standardised in our institution. The surgical technique was defined according to the quadrant and the breast consistence of the patient, the pathological conditioning associated specimen orientation and inked breast margins.
 Material and methods:
 Each woman with a potentially large partial breast removal and a consequent risk of mastectomy has an OP proposed. Pre operative explanations underlined the oncological problem, the technical procedure, the post operative potential morbidity, the necessity to obtain definitive pathologic reports, the timing of controlateral surgery for symmetrization. An independent phone questionnaire was made in order to evaluate the main disorders felt by the patients, the quality of pre operative explanations and the cosmetic and psychological impact.
 133 women were operated between 2001 and 2007, the mean age was 51, the mean Bra size 95, the initial TNM staging noticed 40% T0 – 17% T1 – 30% T2 – 13% T3. 40% of tumors were pure DCIS, 40% of patients have had preoperative chemotherapy.
 Results:
 The operative technique was an OP alone in 54%. For the external quadrants, we performed mainly a Durfourmentel technique (54%), for the upper quadrants the batwing procedure (10%) and for the inferior quadrants a classic mammoplastic surgery (36%). The mean weight of the specimen was 166 g (20-530), the mean operative time 84' for unilateral surgery, 130' for bilateral, the mean hospital stay 3.8 d. 20% of patients needed a second surgery, twice for post operative morbidity, 25 times for R1 resection. In these cases, 14 second mastectomies were performed, 6 tumorectomies and 2 second OP.
 The mean diameter of the tumor evaluated on pathology reports was 24.6 mm; the rate of positive margins was 21% for DCIS removal and 28% after neoadjuvant setting. With 33 months FU, we noticed 2 deaths due to the cancer, 5 local recurrences and 12 patients treated for metastases.
 The independent phone questionnaire revealed a favourable cosmetic result in 70%, bad in 13%. 36% of women wished a second time plastic surgery but relinquished. 48% evaluated the preoperative explanation unsatisfactory. The main reproaches voiced by the patients were the risk of second step surgery according to the final pathological reports and the length of the scars. 75% of women were not afraid to conserve their breast but all were satisfied. 60% were worried due to the follow-up but 83% think that the mastectomy is not less frightening. 17% hesitated to have the same surgical approach.
 Conclusion
 OP procedure is a safe alternative to mastectomy in selected cases with acceptable morbidity and good cosmetic results. Pre operative explanations are essential. Since April 2007, we have initiated a prospective multicentric trial in order to evaluate the free margin rate according to the indication and the quality of life of these women.

Abstract
The aim of this review is to provide the reader general and inspiring prospects on recent and promising fields of innovation in oral drug delivery. Nowadays, inventive drug delivery systems vary from geometrically modified and modular matrices, more close to "classic" pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, to futuristic bio micro-electro-mechanical systems (bioMEMS), based on manufacturing techniques borrowed from electronics and other fields. In these technologies new materials and creative solutions are essential designing intelligent drug delivery systems able to release the required drug at the proper body location with the correct release rate. In particular, oral drug delivery systems of the future are expected to have a significant impact on the treatment of diseases, such as AIDS, cancer, malaria, diabetes requiring complex and multi-drug therapies, as well as on the life of patients, whose age and/or health status make necessary a multiple pharmacological approach.

Abstract
The preparation of capsules for medical and industrial use can be achieved via several conventional routes, yielding either hard or soft receptacles, depending on the type and the content of the material to be encapsulated. Together with tablets, capsules are amongst the most commonly used means of administering medication and this makes progress in capsule preparation technology a key area of drug delivery research. Here we uncover new technology for the preparation of capsules with porous chambers. The novelty is signified in the use of an electrohydrodynamic process engineering route and its potential is elucidated using a polymeric material; polymethylsilsesquioxane, which can be converted into an identical ceramic form by means of simple pyrolysis. Thus, both polymeric and ceramic capsules have been prepared. The effects of process control parameters such as the applied voltage and flow rate, on the characteristics of the capsules prepared are discussed.

Abstract
In this short communication, we describe the scope and flexibility of using a novel device containing three coaxially arranged needles to form a variety of novel morphologies. Different combinations of materials are subjected to controlled flow through the device under the influence of an applied electric field. The resulting electrohydrodynamic flow allows us to prepare double-layered bubbles, porous encapsulated threads and nanocapsules containing three layers. The ability to process such multilayered structures is very significant for biomedical engineering applications, for example, generating capsules for drug delivery, which can provide multistage controlled release.

Abstract
The combined use of cryo-TEM, dynamic light scattering, and small-angle X-ray and neutron scattering techniques allows a detailed structural model of complex pharmaceutical preparations of soybean lecithin/chitosan nanoparticles used as drug vectors to be worked out. Charge-driven self-organization of the lipid(-)/polysaccharide(+) vesicles occurs during rapid injection, under mechanical stirring, of an ethanol solution of soybean lecithin into a chitosan aqueous solution. We conclude that beyond the charge inversion region of the phase diagram, i.e., entering the redissolution region, the initial stages of particle formation are likely to be affected by a re-entrant condensation effect at the nanoscale. This behavior resembles that at the mesoscale which is well-known for polyion/amphiphile systems. Close to the boundary of the charge inversion region, nanoparticle formation occurs under a maximum condensation condition at the nanoscale and the complexation-aggregation process is driven toward a maximum multilamellarity. Interestingly, the formulation that maximizes vesicle multilamellarity corresponds to that displaying the highest drug loading efficiency.

Abstract
It was hypothesised that formulating a dry-powder inhaler (DPI) using a refined, smooth grade of lactose, without fines and a polymer coated drug microparticle should produce an homogeneous formulation in which aerosolization behaviour could be modified. Hence, the aim of this study was to develop a simple two component polymer coated-budesonide/lactose blend in which the drug microparticle adhesive forces could be optimised by modifying the drug coating in order to improve aerosolization from a DPI. Budesonide microparticles (1.83 +/- 0.03 microm) were coated with the vinyl polymers by adsorption and then spray-dried. The drug was blended with three different types of lactose, checked for uniformity of mixing and loaded into Pulvinal devices. The median volume particle size of all but one of the polymer coated microparticles remained below 4 microm after spray-drying and the content uniformity for all the blends >96%. Coating the budesonide with 0.01% poly(vinyl alcohol) increased the fine particle fraction (FPF) in the next generation impactor (NGI) from 29.1 +/- 0.7% to 52.8 +/- 1.0% and reduced the force of adhesion from 410 +/- 182 to 241 +/- 82 nN with smooth lactose. This illustrates that vinyl polymers could effectively modify adhesive interactions without the need for ternary components such as fines.
