Abstract
BACKGROUND Higher social support protects people from developing mental disorders. Limited evidence is available on the mechanism through which social support plays this protective role. OBJECTIVE To investigate the stress-buffering process of social support on depressive symptoms using a novel longitudinal dynamic symptom network approach. METHODS A total of 4242 adult participants who completed the first two waves (from May to October 2020) of the International Covid Mental Health Survey were included in the study. Cross-lagged panel network modelling was used to estimate a longitudinal network of self-reported social support, loneliness and depressive symptoms. Standardised regression coefficients from regularised cross-lagged regressions were estimated as edge weights of the network. FINDINGS The results support a unidirectional protective effect of social support on key depressive symptoms, partly mediated through loneliness: A higher number of close confidants and accessible practical help was associated with decreased anhedonia (weight=-0.033) and negative self-appraisal symptoms (weight=-0.038). Support from others was also negatively associated with loneliness, which in turn associated with decreased depressed mood (weight=0.086) and negative self-appraisal (weight=0.077). We identified a greater number of direct relationships from social support to depressive symptoms among men compared with women. Also, the edge weights from social support to depression were generally stronger in the men's network. CONCLUSIONS Reductions in negative self-appraisal might function as a bridge between social support and other depressive symptoms, and, thus, it may have amplified the protective effect of social support. Men appear to benefit more from social support than women. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS Building community-based support networks to deliver practical support, and loneliness reduction components are critical for depression prevention interventions after stressful experiences.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has been negatively associated with mental health. However, little is known about the temporal dynamics of mental health in the longer term of the pandemic. We aimed to investigate symptom levels and changes of depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress, and loneliness spanning two years of the pandemic; and to examine associated risk factors. This five-wave, longitudinal online study from May 2020 to April 2022 included 636 adults (Mage = 39.5 years, SD = 16.11; 84.1% female) from the German general population who completed the international COVID-19 Mental Health Survey. Symptoms of anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7; GAD-7), depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9; PHQ-9), posttraumatic stress (PTSD Checklist for DSM-5; PCL-5), and loneliness ("Do you feel lonely?") were assessed using mixed-effects models. Associations with anxiety and depressive symptoms were examined with having children, student status, financial worries, contamination fear, and loneliness. PHQ-9, GAD-7, PCL-5, and loneliness scores overall decreased throughout the two-year period of the pandemic but exhibited an increase during two national lockdowns. Controlled for significant associations with female gender and younger age, increased PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores were associated with contamination fear, financial worries, and loneliness. No associations were found with having children and student status. Symptoms of depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress, and loneliness decreased over time but varied along with the dynamics of the pandemic. Longitudinal monitoring of mental health in vulnerable subgroups is required, especially those of younger age, females, and the financially insecure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To study the longitudinal impact of co-occurring mental health problems, and to identify vulnerable groups in need of mental health support during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS Analyses were based on data from 681 French participants in the international COVID-19 Mental Health Study, collected at four times (05/2020-04/2021). Symptoms of depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire 9, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 and the PTSD Check List for DSM-5. We performed k-means for longitudinal data to build trajectories of adults' depression, anxiety and PTSD symptoms and identify subgroups psychologically vulnerable. We then assessed whether mental health trajectories were predicted by lockdown regulations. RESULTS A high and a low cluster of mental health scores were identified. In both groups, mental health scores varied significantly across time. Levels of all mental health scores were lowest when COVID-19-related restrictions were lifted and highest when restrictions were in place, except for PTSD. No scores returned to the previous level or the initial level of mental health (p < 0.05). Participants with high levels of symptoms were characterized by younger age (OR: 0.98, 95 % CI: 0.97-0.99), prior history of mental disorders (OR: 3.46, 95 % CI: 2.07-5.82), experience of domestic violence (OR: 10.54, 95 % CI: 1.54-20.68) and medical issues (OR: 2.16, 95 % CI: 1.14-4.03). LIMITATIONS Pre-pandemic data were not available and the sample was recruited mainly by snowball sampling. CONCLUSION This study revealed subtle differences in the evolution of symptom trajectories during the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic, and highlighted several characteristics associated with the two clusters.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Individuals with chronic medical conditions are considered highly exposed to COVID-19 pandemic stress, but emerging evidence is demonstrating that resilience is common even among them. We aimed at identifying sustained resilient outcomes and their predictors in chronically ill people during the first year of the pandemic. METHODS This international 4-wave 1-year longitudinal online survey included items on socio-demographic characteristics, economic and living situation, lifestyle and habits, pandemic-related issues, and history of mental disorders. Adherence to and approval of imposed restrictions, trust in governments and in scientific community during the pandemic were also investigated. The following tools were administered: the Patient Health Questionnaire, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale, the PTSD Checklist DSM-5, the Oslo Social Support Scale, the Padua Inventory, and the Portrait Values Questionnaire. RESULTS One thousand fifty-two individuals reporting a chronic condition out of 8011 total participants from 13 countries were included in the study, and 965 had data available for the final model. The estimated probability of being "sustained-resilient" was 34%. Older male individuals, participants employed before and during the pandemic or with perceived social support were more likely to belong to the sustained-resilience group. Loneliness, a previous mental disorder, high hedonism, fear of COVID-19 contamination, concern for the health of loved ones, and non-approving pandemic restrictions were predictors of not-resilient outcomes in our sample. CONCLUSIONS We found similarities and differences from established predictors of resilience and identified some new ones specific to pandemics. Further investigation is warranted and could inform the design of resilience-building interventions in people with chronic diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about changes of mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic in potentially disadvantaged groups. We investigated changes in anxiety and depression symptoms during the first year of the pandemic in six European countries and Australia by prior mental disorders and migration status. METHODS Overall, 4674 adults answered a web-based survey in May-June 2020 and were followed by three repeated surveys up to February 2021. Information on psychosocial, financial and demographic, living conditions, prior mental disorders, depression and anxiety symptoms during the pandemic and migration status was collected. Weighted general estimation equations modelling was used to investigate the association between prior mental disorders, migration status, and symptoms over time. RESULTS Most participants were <40 years old (48%), women (78%) and highly educated (62%). The baseline prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms ranged between 19%-45% and 13%-35%, respectively. In most countries, prevalence rates remained unchanged throughout the pandemic and were higher among people with prior mental disorders than without even after adjustment for several factors. We observed interactions between previous mental disorders and symptoms of anxiety or depression over time in two countries. No difference by migration status was noted. LIMITATIONS Convenience sampling limits generalizability. Self-assessed symptoms of depression and anxiety might involve some misclassification. CONCLUSIONS Depression and anxiety symptoms were worse among individuals with prior mental disorders than without, but there was no clear trend of worsening mental health in the observed groups during the observed period.

Abstract
Introduction
Refugees are at elevated risk of developing common mental disorders (CMD) as they may have been exposed to stressors and traumatic experiences before, during and after their movement. However, prevalence rates of CMDs among refugees reported across studies vary strongly.
Objectives
To examine the prevalence of CMDs (PTSD, anxiety, depression and somatic disorder) among Syrian refugees in the Netherlands, and the diagnostic accuracy of self-reporting questionnaires in Arabic.
Methods
A sample of N=1339 adult Syrian refugees was randomly selected from the Dutch national population registry. Participants were approached in December 2020-March 2021 to complete questionnaires on symptoms of PTSD (PCL-5), anxiety/depression (HSCL-25), and somatic disorder (SSS-8). After the survey, a sub-sample was invited for a clinical interview using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 (SCID-5) to enquire about the presence or absence of PTSD, anxiety, depression or somatic disorder.
Results
In total, 407 participants (53.6% female, M age=34.2yrs, SD=14.1) completed the survey. The majority (65.9%) arrived in the Netherlands in 2015-2017. Using a cut-off of PCL-5 ³33, 75 participants (18.4%) reported probable PTSD. Using a cut-off of ³1.83 on the HSCL-25 depression subscale and ³1.75 on the anxiety subscale, 153 participants (37.6%) reported depression and 135 (33.2%) reported anxiety, and using a cut-off of ³12.0 on the SSS-8, 121 (29.8%) reported somatic complaints. A sub-sample of 214 participants (52.6%) were followed-up with the SCID-5. Psychometric properties will be presented.
Conclusions
Syrian refugees in the Netherlands are at high risk for the development of a CMD. Implications, strengths and limitations of the study will be discussed.
Disclosure
No significant relationships.

This study aims to determine longitudinal trajectories of social support and loneliness in the French general population during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic and study whether variations in these trajectories are associated with symptoms of depression and anxiety; (2) Methods: Analyses were based on data from 681 French participants in the international COVID-19 Mental Health Study (COMET) study, collected at four periods of time between May 2020 and April 2021. Group-based trajectory modelling (GBTM) was used to determine social support and loneliness trajectories. Associations between the identified trajectories and symptoms of depression and anxiety, measured with the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-7), were tested through multivariate linear regression models; (3) Results: Social support trajectories revealed four stable groups: 'poor' (17.0%), 'moderate' (42.4%), 'strong' (35.4%) and 'very strong' (5.1%). Loneliness trajectories also identified four groups: 'low stable' (17.8%), 'low rising' (40.2%), 'moderate stable' (37.6%) and 'high rising' (5.0%). Elevated symptoms of depression were associated with poor social support as well as all identified loneliness trajectories, while high levels of anxiety were associated with moderate stable and high rising loneliness trajectories; (4) Conclusions: High and increasing levels of loneliness are associated with increased symptoms of depression and anxiety during the pandemic. Interventions to address loneliness are essential to prevent common mental health problems during the pandemic and afterwards.

Abstract
Background:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term, progressive, and disabling autoimmune disease1. The disease activity can be quantified by the Disease Activity Score 28-joint count – C reactive protein (DAS28crp)2; the evaluation of disability function (DF) is actually mainly performed only by subjective Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) like Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ)3; to investigate the functional aspects of RA hands it is usually used the grip strength (GS)4. However, in the scientific literature no tool, which objectively evaluates movement speed, has been reported. The Hand Test System (HTS, ETT) is an engineered glove (RAGLOVE), nowadays applied for neuroscience studies to evaluate hand motility5Objectives:To objectively evaluate the RA hand’s speed of the fine movements, through the HTS and to compared with a group of age and sex matched healthy controls. To verify the correspondence with the HAQ, DAS28, GS.Methods:55 consecutives RA patients (pts) (6 males, age 61 ± 16 years, mean duration of disease 12 ± 8 years), classified according to 2010 ACR/EULAR criteria6, and 50 matched healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled. After consent, all participants undergone HTS test that recognizes the touches between the finger tips during the opposition movements of the hands in standard sequences of movements, after dressed the glove. A multiple finger evaluation (MFE) and a single finger evaluation (SFE) were performed using a dedicated software that provided the physician the following quantitative parameters: Touch Duration (TD), Inter Tapping Interval (ITI) and Movement Rate (MR). Average time for hand 2 minutes. RA pts compiled the HAQ, performed the GS and a DAS28cpr was performed.The student’s t-test was used to compare the glove’s parameters between the groups whereas the analysis of variance (ANOVA) was utilized to verify potential differences between the populations. In order to evaluate the single correlations, the r and p values of Pearson were employed.Results:For MFE, glove parameters TD and ITI were significantly higher in RA pts than HCs, whereas; MR was significantly lower in RA pts compared to HCs (all p <0.001).For SFE non-affected fingers (not swollen and not tender) of RA pts performed better than a clinically affected fingers, but in any case significantly worse than average HCs fingers (p < 0.001).There is a statistically significant correlation between the GS and MR (r= 0.39 p=0.003) and TD (r=-0.33 p=0.015).TD, ITI e MR of RA pts showed a significant correlation with the total score of the HAQ (r = 0.56, r = 0.39, r = -0.56, all p < 0.001;). DAS28, considered as a continuous variable, proved to be significantly correlated with the TD (r = 0.36, p = 0.009). When the RA patients were grouped according to the disease activity by DAS28cpr7, there was an increase of one third of the TD’s logarithm for each increase in the activity class (linear regression with ordinal predictors, beta = 0.33; 95%CI 0.03, 0.63,p < 0.0297). Finally, even RA pts in remission showed a TD significantly higher compared with HCs (p= 0.034).Conclusion:The RAGLOVE is shown as a new safe and fast tool to evaluate a new objective parameter in the hand’s functionality: the speed of finger movements. In RA pts, an inversely proportional correlation emerges between the speed of movement and disease activity.The significant correlation found with HAQ, highlights the loss of motility of the hands as one of the main determinant of disability. The RAGLOVE is now tested in RA patients undergoing treatment.References:[1]Hakkinen et al Ann Rheum Dis. 2005;[2]Van Der Heijde et al J of Rheum. 1993;[3]Fries et al Arthritis Rheum. 1980;[4]Mathiowetz et al J Hand Surg Am. 1984;[5]Carmisciano et al Eur J Neurol. 2020;[6]Aletaha et al.

Abstract
Music plays an important role in brain physiology, in some areas related to emotions, food intake and body weight, such as the hypothalamus. There are different frequencies to which it can be tuned, today the most utilized is at 440 Hz, while in the past the 432 Hz frequency was more used to show particular effects on brain. It is known that Ghrelin, a peptide hormone, regulates food intake in the hypothalamus; in a previous paper, we reported that musical stimuli at 432 Hz modified the Ghrelin expression in the rat, increasing beneficial effects on metabolism. In this study, we used this frequency and we focused our attention on body weight, Ghrelin expression, and neuron morphology in hypothalamic cultures. To investigate the role of music, we utilized newborn pups from pregnant rats that were exposed to music stimuli at 432 Hz during the perinatal period and for the postnatal period, some for 3 days (P3) and others for 6 days (P6). Some pups were not exposed to music stimuli (controls). Our results showed that music increased the body weight of pups; in addition, enhanced Ghrelin expression in hypothalamic neurons and their axonal elongation were highlighted by immunocytochemical techniques. Moreover, we found that the positive music effect started in pups at P3 and increased at P6 compared with controls. These results suggest that the musical frequency at 432 Hz could stimulate the orexigenic Ghrelin effects influencing the increase in body weight and affecting the number of hypothalamic neurons expressing Ghrelin.

Abstract
Ghrelin (Ghre), a gut-brain peptide hormone, plays an important role in the entire olfactory system and in food behavior regulation. In the last years, it has aroused particular interest for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties. Our previous research showed that Ghre and its receptor are expressed by peculiar glial cells of the olfactory system: Olfactory Ensheathing Cells (OECs). These cells are able to secrete different neurotrophic factors, promote axonal growth, and show stem cell characteristics. The aim of this work was to study, in an in vitro model, the effect of Ghre on both cell viability and the expression of some neural markers, such as Nestin (Ne), Glial Fibrillary Acid Protein (GFAP), Neuregulin (Neu), and β-III-tubulin (Tuj1), in primary mouse OEC cultures. The MTT test and immunocytochemical procedures were used to highlight cell viability and marker expression, respectively. Our results demonstrate that Ghre, after 7 days of treatment, exerted a positive effect, stimulating OEC viability compared with cells without Ghre treatment. In addition, Ghre was able to modify the expression of some biomarkers, increasing Neu and Tuj1 expression, while GFAP was constant; on the contrary, the presence of positive Ne cells was drastically reduced after 7 days, and this showed a loss of stem cell characteristic and therefore the possible orientation towards an adult neural phenotype.

Abstract
Background:Nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) abnormalities in subjects with isolated Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP) may be present before transition to secondary RP(SRP) and development of a NVC “scleroderma pattern” and are known to predict for evolution to a connective tissue disease (CTD) within few years [1]. In a previous study, we have demonstrated that the very early increase of capillary diameter over 30 μm is an independent predictor for development of Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) associated SRP [2].Objectives:Present pilot retrospective study aimed to investigate in a cohort of patients affected by CTD–related RP the presence of very early capillaroscopic morphological and quantitative abnormalities in the acquired pictures of NVC performed before the development of the NVC scleroderma-pattern. In particular, the study was addressed to identify a “very early”scleroderma pattern, in order to intercept patients with RP at high risk of evolution in a CTD, specifically SSc.Methods:We selected the NVCs of 273 SSc patients presenting one of the validated NVC “scleroderma patterns”. We enrolled 26 SSc patients having a NVC analysis performed before the development ofthe “very early”NVC pattern. As controls, we evaluated 26 patients affected by other CTDs with stable non-scleroderma pattern over time. The 16 images per patient obtained by NVC examination were analyzed for total number of capillaries, number and the limbs diameters of capillaries with a diameter >30 μm, and microhemorrhages. Statistical analysis was performed using non-parametric tests.Results:All 26 SSc patients showed dilated capillaries with a diameter >30 μm in their previous NVC. Patients later developing scleroderma pattern had statically higher number and percentage of capillaries with a diameter >30 μm (p=0.0004 and p=0.0005), as well as a larger apical dilatation >40 μm (p=0.002). A progressive and significant increase in all capillary diameters were only detected in patients later diagnosed for SSc (apical p=0.006, venous p=0.02, arterial p=0.03). A significant homogeneous and progressive dilation was observed from the apical region and then involving both venous and arterial branches, only in SSc patients (p=0.002).Conclusion:Present pilot study demonstrates, for the first time that, before to develop a validated NVC scleroderma-pattern, all potential SSc patients present significant very early morphological and quantitative NVC changes. In particular, the progressive and homogeneous capillary loop dilation over 40 μm in over 40% of total number capillaries significantly could contribute to identify RP patients who will develop a SSc pattern after 4-5 years.References:[1]Cutolo M, Sulli A, Pizzorni C, Accardo S.

Abstract
Background:Aminaphtone (AMI) is a bioflavonoid compound, classically used for “capillary disorders”.In vitroAMI interferes with adhesion molecules (sELAM-1 and sVCAM-1) and with vascular endothelial cadherin degradation thus defending vessels permeability. Moreover, it counteracts vasoconstriction, downregulating endothelin-1 production at a gene level (1-3).In vivoAMI ameliorates clinical symptoms of several clinical conditions, above all Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP), either primary or secondary to systemic sclerosis (SSc), as demonstrated by a recent six-month study (4).Objectives:To evaluate long-term tolerability of standard dosage of AMI in a real-life cohort of SSc patients with secondary RP.Methods:Seventy-eight SSc patients (mean age 65±13 years; mean disease duration 9±7 years) treated with AMI due to active RP were enrolled (ACR/EULAR 2013 criteria). They were taking various concomitant treatments, including aspirin, calcium-channel blockers, cyclic intravenous iloprost, immunomodulators, endothelin receptor antagonists. SSc patients performed periodic clinical assessments and blood tests on average every four months per clinical practice. Duration of AMI administration, side effects, and self-assessment of Raynaud Condition Score (RCS) in a scale from 0 (absence of pain) to 10 (intolerable pain) were retrospectively taken into account.Results:Duration of AMI administration was between six and sixty-seven months (mean 31±20 months). AMI was administered at 75 mgbis in diedosage, as standard initial posology. At baseline, mean RCS was 7.3±0.8. After 3 months of treatment sixty-four patients (82%) yet referred a subjective improvement of RCS (3.5±0.8, p=0.03), whereas 14 patients (18%) were clinically unsatisfied (RCS 6.1±0.4, p=1.12). In this last group, posology was increased to 75 mgtris in die, with a satisfactory amelioration in further nine patients (93,6%) (RCS 4.0±0.6 p=0.04), while five patients (6,4%) definitively discontinued therapy for subjective ineffectiveness within six months. Patients referred a sustained improvement of RCS along the observational period (31±20 months) (last RCS 3.7±0.7, p=0.03 vs baseline). During the follow-up, five patients (6,4%) referred headache as side effect: three of them had to reduce AMI posology to 75 mg per day, while maintaining clinical benefits. Periodic blood tests did not reveal any significant alteration attributable to AMI. No other side effects related to the drug appeared during the treatment period.Conclusion:AMI shows an acceptable medium-long-term tolerability along with sustained efficacy in the management of SSc-related RP, without disabling side effects. However, the retrospective design, the absence of a placebo-control group and the concomitant standard therapy limit the results, and a randomized controlled trial for AMI use in the management of SSc-related RP is desirable.References:[1]Scorza R et al. 2008.Clin Ther30(5):924-9.[2]Felice F et al. 2018.Phlebology33(9):592-599.[3]Scorza R et al. 2008.Drugs R D9(4):251-7.[4]Ruaro B et al. 2019.Front Pharmacol10:293.Disclosure of Interests:Emanuele Gotelli: None declared, Sabrina Paolino: None declared, Federica Goegan: None declared, Francesco Cattelan: None declared, Massimo Patanè: None declared, Carmen Pizzorni: None declared, Maurizio Cutolo Grant/research support from: Bristol-Myers Squibb, Actelion, Celgene, Consultant of: Bristol-Myers Squibb, Speakers bureau: Sigma-Alpha, Alberto Sulli Grant/research support from: Laboratori Baldacci

Abstract
Background:Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune multisystemic disease, that can begin with a wide range of clinical manifestations, and requires immunosuppressive therapies (1). A treat-to-target strategy leads to a high rate of clinical remission among patients (2). Several “remission” definitions have been provided in the last years and Lupus Low Disease Activity State (LLDAS) seems one of the best tools to evaluate it in clinical practice (3).Objectives:To evaluate the prevalence of SLE signs and symptoms at onset and the drugs used to induce and maintain the clinical remission, evaluated by LLDAS, in a real-life cohort of SLE patients.Methods:Thirty female SLE patients (mean age 52±15 years; mean age at disease onset 34±16 years, mean disease duration 18±13 years) in clinical remission have been enrolled (EULAR/ACR 2019 criteria) (4). Remission was defined by LLDAS (SLEDAI-2K < 4 and no activity in major organ systems, no hemolytic anemia; no new features of activity compared with previous assessment, physician global assessment (PGA) ≤ 1, prednisone dose ≤7.5 mg/day, well tolerated and stable therapy with maintenance doses of immunosuppressive drugs). Clinical and serological manifestations, SLEDAI-2K and pharmacological treatments were recorded at baseline and during follow-up.Results:Mucocutaneous involvement (57%), arthritis (30%), serositis (30%), nephritis (27%), leukopenia (23%), thrombocytopenia (20%), hemolytic anemia (13%), antiphospholipid syndrome manifestations (16%), neuro-psychiatric lupus symptoms (6%) were present in various combinations at disease onset. Baseline mean SLEDAI-2K was 10.5±2.5. Patients were treated with different dosages of glucocorticoids (100%), hydroxychloroquine (HCQ, 73%), cyclofosfamide (20%), mycophenolate mofetile (MMF, 13%), azathioprine (AZA, 13%), methotrexate (MTX, 13%), cyclosporine A (CSA, 6%), rituximab (3%), abatacept (ABA, 3%). Glucocorticoids were prescribed together with a single DMARD in 50% of cases and with two DMARDs in the remaining 50% of patients. Patients reached LLDAS remission after a mean time of 14±12 years, with a mean remission duration of 4.2±3.2 years (mean SLEDAI-2K at last visit 1±1; Mean PGA 0.4±0.1). Maintenance therapies during remission were prednisone ≤ 5 mg/day and/or HCQ ≤ 400 mg/day and/or CSA ≤ 200 mg/day and/or MTX ≤ 10 mg/weekly and/or MMF ≤ 2 g/day and/or AZA ≤ 100 mg/day. In particular, only prednisone 7%, only HCQ 3%, prednisone + HCQ 53%, prednisone + single DMARD (different from HCQ) 7%, prednisone + HCQ + DMARDs 30%.Conclusion:After reaching the clinical remission by a treat to target strategy, the administration of low dose of prednisone and HCQ in the majority of SLE patients (63%) seems useful to prevent new SLE flares. The retrospective design and the absence of a control group of patients with active disease limit this study.References:[1]Lisnevskaia L et al. 2014.Lancet384(9957):1878-1888.[2]Van Vollenhoven RF et al. 2014.Ann Rheum Dis73(6): 958-967.[3]Franklyn K et al. 2016.Ann Rheum Dis. 75(9): 1615-21.[4]Aringer M et al. 2019.Arthritis Rheumatol.71(9): 1400-1412.Disclosure of Interests:Emanuele Gotelli: None declared, Alberto Sulli Grant/research support from: Laboratori Baldacci, Giorgia Ferrari: None declared, Greta Pacini: None declared, Carlotta Schenone: None declared, Massimo Patanè: None declared, Pietro Francesco Bica: None declared, Carmen Pizzorni: None declared, Maurizio Cutolo Grant/research support from: Bristol-Myers Squibb, Actelion, Celgene, Consultant of: Bristol-Myers Squibb, Speakers bureau: Sigma-Alpha, Sabrina Paolino: None declared

Abstract
Background:Alternatively activated (M2) macrophages seem to play a role in the fibrotic process of systemic sclerosis (SSc) as potential inducers of tissue fibrosis through their secretion of specific cytokines and chemokines, such as interleukin-10 (IL-10), macrophage derived chemokine (CCL-22) and pro-fibrotic metalloproteases (i.e. MMP9) (1-3).Objectives:To investigate the presence of circulating cells belonging to the monocyte lineage showing an M2 phenotype in SSc patients (pts) and possible correlation with the clinical parameters of the disease. Moreover, to investigate if the treatment of cultured monocytes isolated from healthy subjects with serum derived from early SSc pts may induce theirin vitropolarization into M2 macrophages.Methods:Fifty female SSc pts (mean age 64±13 yrs), fulfilling the EULAR/ACR criteria, and 27 gender-matched healthy subjects (HSs, mean age 57±7 yrs) were considered at the Rheumatology Division of Genoa University after written informed consent. Nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC), serum SSc-related antibodies and skin involvement were investigated. Circulating cells belonging to the monocyte populations (CD45+and CD14+cells) were characterised by flow cytometry using specific surface markers of M2 phenotypes (CD204, CD206, CD163). Each SSc pt had been under stable treatment regimen for at least six months. Cultured monocytes, isolated by negative selection from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 8 HSs, stimulated for 48 hrs with 10% of serum of lcSSc pts with “Early” NVC pattern, as well as serum of dcSSc pts with “Active” and “Late” NVC patterns. Cultured monocyte human cell line (THP1) was differentiated into macrophages (5ng/ml of phorbol myristate acetate) and then stimulated with SSc sera. The expression of CD204, CD206 (M2 markers) and CD68 was investigated by immunocytochemistry, whereas MMP9 secretion was investigated by zymography. Statistical analysis was performed using Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests, and correlations were explored by bivariate Pearson’s analysis.Results:In SSc pts the percentage of circulating M2 cells (CD14+CD204+CD163+CD206+cells) was significantly increased compared to both HSs and SSc pts not under immunosuppressive treatment (p<0.05) However, no correlation with skin involvement and SSc-related antibodies was observed. Cultured macrophages stimulated with SSc serum expressed CD204 and CD206 markers compared to the macrophages stimulated with HS serum (CD204 and CD206 double negative cells). Of note, the ability to express M2 markers was already evident in cultured macrophages stimulated with “Early” NVC SSc serum and their expression even increased in macrophages stimulated with “Active” and “Late” NVC sera together with the secretion of MMP9. Same results were observed also in cultured THP1-derived macrophages.Conclusion:The study confirmed that SSc pts are characterized by a significant increase of circulating M2 cells, suggesting their possible involvement in the pathogenesis of the disease. Interestingly, results insinuate that sera from SSc patients already in an “Early” NVC condition (sera known to contains specific profibrotic molecules such as cytokines, growth factors like TGFb1 or endothelin-1) seem able to inducein vitroa profibrotic M2 macrophage phenotype.References:[1]Cutolo M et al.

Abstract
Background:Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic connective disease characterized by microvascular alterations, dysregulated immune response and fibrosis [1,2]. Myofibroblasts are alpha-smooth muscle actin (alphaSMA)+cells and play a crucial role in fibrosis, through the excessive synthesis and deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, in particular fibronectin (FN) and type I collagen (COL1) [3]. Despite myofibroblasts primarily derive from resident fibroblasts transition and differentiation, another important source is represented by circulating fibrocytes [4]. Nintedanib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis that interferes with the signalling pathways involved in the pathogenesis of fibrosis [5].Objectives:To investigate the possible effects of nintedanib in contrasting the ability of cultured mature fibrocytes from SSc patients to differentiate into profibrotic myofibroblasts.Methods:Circulating fibrocytes were obtained from peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from 5 limited cutaneous SSc patients (mean age 68 +/- 10 years) and then plated on FN-coated tissue culture dishes in growth medium (DMEM at 20% of fetal bovine serum, 1% of penicillin-streptomycin and 1% L-glutamine), to allow the adhesion of fibrocyte precursors. Adherent cells were maintained in growth medium for 8 days in order to allow their differentiation into fibrocytes. Differentiated fibrocytes were treated with nintedanib at the concentrations of 100nM and 1000nM for 3 and 24 hours (hrs) or maintained in growth medium without any treatment. The differentiation of fibrocytes into myofibroblasts was determined evaluating the gene expression of alphaSMA, fibroblast specific protein-1 (S100A4) COL1, FN and CXCR4 by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and the protein synthesis of alphaSMA, COL1 and FN by western blotting.Results:Nintedanib inhibited alphaSMA and S100A4 gene expression already at the concentration of 100nM in cultured fibrocytes and after 3 hrs of treatment, when compared with untreated cells. Furthermore, both concentrations of nintedanib (100nM and 1000nM) reduced the gene expression of COL1 and FN, whereas only 100nM downregulated the CXCR4 gene expression. At protein level, nintedanib 100nM and 1000nM reduced the synthesis of alphaSMA and COL1 after 24 hrs of treatment, whereas FN synthesis was reduced only by the nintedanib concentration of 1000nM.Conclusion:The preliminary results show that nintedanib may inhibit thein vitrotransition of SSc fibrocytes into myofibroblasts and their profibrotic activity, through the reduction of specific myofibroblast phenotype markers and ECM protein production. The results seem to suggest fibrocytes as further possible target of the antifibrotic action of nintedanib in SSc.References:[1]Cutolo M et al. Expert Rev Clin Immunol. 2019;15:753-64 2.

Abstract
Background:Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a complex autoimmune connective tissue disease, characterized by autoimmune inflammatory microvascular damage with progressive loss of capillaries, fibrosis and ischemia of skin and internal organs. (1) Nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) is a safe toll for early diagnosis of SSc, it identify morphological changes of vessel that are predictive for clinical disease progression and organ involvement.(2) About clinical complication the loss of bone mass and body composition abnormalities, particularly muscle mass and strength loss (sarcopenia), are recognized in advanced disease.(3)Objectives:To evaluated in SSc patients, the body composition and the bone status according to the microvascular condition, assessed and scored by nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC, “Early”,”Active”,”Late” patterns).Methods:Body composition and bone mineral density (BMD) were assessed by DEXA in 35 female SSc patients classified according to the 2013 EULAR/ACR criteria and 32 sex-matched healthy subjects. Clinical, laboratory, body composition and bone parameters were analysed according to the different NVC patterns. Means were compared by the Student’s t test or one way analysis of variance; medians were compared by the Kruskall Wallis test; and frequencies by the chi square test.Results:Higher prevalence of vertebral (26.4%vs 9.3%) and femoral (32.3% vs 9.3%) osteoporosis (OP) was found in SSc. Particularly SSc patients with “Late” NVC pattern showed a significantly higher prevalence of vertebral (p=0.018) and femoral OP (p=0.016). Regional assessment of bone mass (BM) in 7 different body areas showed a significant lower BMD only at the total spine (P=0.008) and femoral neck (p=0.027) in advanced microvascular damage. Patients with “Late” NVC pattern showed lower whole body lean mass (LM) compared to “Early” and “Active” NVC patterns, particularly at upper limbs. To note, in all body sites, BMD correlate with LM and BMC according to NVC pattern severity.Conclusion:SSc patients with most severe microvascular damage show a significantly altered body composition and bone status suggesting a strong link between microvascular failure and associated muscle/bone sufference.References:[1]Cutolo M et al.

Abstract
Olfactory Ensheathing Cells (OECs) are glial cells able to secrete different neurotrophic growth factors and thus promote axonal growth, also acting as a mechanical support. In the olfactory system, during development, they drive the non-myelinated axons of the Olfactory Receptor Neurons (ORNs) towards the Olfactory Bulb (OB). Ghrelin (Ghre), a gut-brain peptide hormone, and its receptor (GHS-R 1a) are expressed in different parts of the central nervous system. In the last few years, this peptide has stimulated particular interest as results show it to be a neuroprotective factor with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties. Our previous studies showed that OB mitral cells express Ghre, thus being able to play an important role in regulating food behavior in response to odors. In this study, we investigated the presence of Ghre and GHS-R 1a in primary mouse OECs. The expression of both Ghre and its receptor was assessed by an immunocytochemical technique, Western Blot and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) analysis. Our results demonstrated that OECs are able to express both Ghre and GHS-R 1a and that these proteins are detectable after extensive passages in vitro; in addition, PCR analysis further confirmed these data. Therefore, we can hypothesize that Ghre and GHS-R 1a interact with a reinforcement function, in the peripheral olfactory circuit, providing a neurotrophic support to the synaptic interaction between ORNs and mitral cells.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND
Meningioma is the most common primary tumor of CNS, usually a benign tumor (grade I) successfully treated by surgical resection, while in the 25–30% of cases is a more aggressive neoplasm with high recurrence rate and poor prognosis (grade II-III). In the last years some studies tried to investigate the genomic profile of meningioma to find additional prognostic factors and potential therapeutic targets. Aim of our study was to use the array-CGH (aCGH) to investigate possible indicators of recurrence risk in meningiomas.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
We retrospectively selected two group of patients: 34 with meningioma WHO grade I (24 F, 10 M, median age at diagnosis 56 yrs) and 19 with meningioma WHO grade II (9 F, 10 M, median age 59 yrs), in order to compare cases recurrent and non-recurrent in each group. We also analyzed 5/18 recurrences WHO grade I and 10/11 WHO grade II. Genomic profiles were investigated by aCGH.
RESULTS
We observed an increase in number of genomic imbalances related to grading and in non-recurrent versus recurrent tumors. 9 WHO I meningiomas were without alterations. The mainly alterations observed were deletions and duplications, moreover we also identified chromothripsis of a single chromosome in 2/18 WHO I recurrent and 2/8 WHO II non recurrent meningiomas, and chromothripsis of multiple chromosomes in 5/11 WHO II recurrent meningiomas. As well we detected the presence of mosaicism, mainly in WHO I recurrent and in grade II meningiomas. In 7/14 WHO I meningiomas we found differences in genomic profile analyzing two samples obtained from two distinct areas. 6/15 recurrences showed the same alterations of the primary tumor. We didn’t detected an association between alteration of 1p and 22q and recurrence risk, as previously suggested, as those were the most diffused imbalances in all meningiomas.
CONCLUSION
In our patients we found a difference in genomic imbalances between grade I and grade II meningiomas, but we also identified additional details of the complexity of alterations in meningioma with the detection of chromothripsis and mosaicism. This latter aspect is a new issue and suggests the presence of more aggressive cell clones that could be predictive of recurrence in grade I meningioma. Moreover, we observed a spatial heterogeneity in half of grade I meningioma analyzed. Our preliminary results suggest that the aCGH, a technique routinely used in many laboratories, could be used to better stratify meningioma patients.

Abstract
Background Long-term data on durability of currently available transcatheter heart valves are sparse. We sought to assess the incidence of long-term (8-year) structural valve dysfunction and bioprosthetic valve failure in a cohort of patients with transcatheter aortic valve replacement ( TAVR ) who reached at least 5-year follow-up. Methods and Results Consecutive patients with at least 5-year follow-up available undergoing TAVR from June 4, 2007 to March 30, 2012 were included. Structural valve dysfunction and bioprosthetic valve failure were defined according to newly standardized European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions/ European Society of Cardiology/European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery criteria and reported as cumulative incidence function to account for the competing risk of death. A total of 288 consecutive patients with a mean age of 80.7±5.3 years and with a mean Society of Thoracic Surgery mortality score of 8.1±5.1% were analyzed. Survival rate at 8 years was 29.8%. Mean pressure gradients decreased from 53.3±15.9 mm Hg (pre- TAVR ) to 10.5±4.5 mm Hg (in-hospital post- TAVR ) ( P<0.001). There was a small, not significant, increase in the transaortic gradient throughout follow-up. Bioprosthetic valve failure was observed in a total of 11 patients (8-year cumulative incidence function: 4.51%; 95% confidence interval , 1.95%-8.76%). Severe and moderate structural valve dysfunctions were reported in 7 patients (8-year cumulative incidence function: 2.39%; 95% confidence interval, 0.77%-5.71%) and 13 patients (8-year cumulative incidence function: 5.87%; 95% confidence interval , 3.06%-9.96%), respectively. Aortic valve reintervention (redo TAVR ) was successfully performed in 2 patients (0.7%) presenting with symptomatic severe restenosis and intraprosthetic regurgitation subsequent to endocarditis. Conclusions In an aged population of patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis treated with first-generation bioprostheses, TAVR was associated with a survival rate of 30% but low rates of bioprosthetic valve failure and structural valve dysfunction at 8 years.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences between teachers' knowledge about early psychosis among three different Italian cities and a UK sample. METHODS The sample consisted of 556 secondary school teachers from three different cities in Italy (Milan, Rome and Lamezia Terme) and London (UK). The research was based on the Knowledge and Experience of Social Emotional Difficulties Among Young People Questionnaire. The Italian version of the questionnaire was used in Italy. RESULTS Overall, 67.6% of English teachers, 58.5% of Milan's teachers, 41.8% of Rome's teachers and 33.3% of Lamezia Terme's teachers were able to recognize psychotic symptoms from a case vignette. Logistic regression analysis showed that 'city' was the only independent variable significantly related to the correct/wrong answer about diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS We found statistically significant differences between the three Italian samples and the UK sample regarding teachers' knowledge about first signs of psychosis. English teachers showed a better knowledge than Italian teachers in general. Teachers from Milan, where a specific early detection program was established in 2000, seemed to be more familiar with early signs of psychosis than teachers in the other two Italian towns.

Abstract
Background—
We sought to describe an optimized approach to coronary artery disease (CAD) screening and management in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).
Methods and Results—
When invasive coronary angiography showed CAD, the treatment strategy and completeness of revascularization was determined based on coronary anatomy. TAVR was performed in the same setting if percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was uncomplicated; otherwise TAVR was postponed. A total of 604 patients undergoing CAD screening at the time of TAVR procedure were prospectively included in this study. Severe CAD was found in 136 patients (22.5%). Among patients with severe CAD, 53 patients (8.8%) underwent uncomplicated PCI. After PCI, TAVR was postponed in 2 patients (0.3%). In 83 patients (13.8%), coronary angiography showed severe CAD that was left untreated. After TAVR, all-cause and cardiovascular 30-day mortality rates were 2.4% and 1.4%, respectively. Disabling stroke, myocardial infarction, and life-threatening bleeding occurred in 0.5%, 0.8%, and 4.0% of patients, respectively. Acute kidney injury II or III rate was 3.3%. At 2 years, all-cause mortality rate was 14.1%. Disabling stroke and myocardial infarction occurred in 2.5% and 1.8% of patients, respectively. Patients undergoing TAVR and PCI in the same session had similar rate of the composite of death, disabling stroke, and myocardial infarction when compared with patients without CAD, and patients with severe CAD left untreated (TAVR+PCI: 10.4%; severe CAD left untreated: 15.4%; no-CAD: 14.8%;
P
=0.765).
Conclusions—
In patients undergoing TAVR, screening of CAD with invasive coronary angiography and ad hoc PCI during TAVR is feasible and was not associated with increased periprocedural risks. PCI followed by TAVR in the same session had similar outcomes than TAVR in which PCI was not performed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the RenalGuard System (PLC Medical Systems, Milford, Massachusetts) on prevention of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). BACKGROUND TAVR is associated with varying degrees of post-procedural AKI. The RenalGuard System is a dedicated device designed for contrast-induced AKI prevention. Whether this device is also effective in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing TAVR is unexplored. METHODS The present is an investigator-driven, single-center, prospective, open-label, registry-based randomized study that used the TAVR institutional registry of the Ferrarotto Hospital in Catania, Italy, as the platform for randomization, data collection, and follow-up assessment. A total of 112 consecutive patients undergoing TAVR were randomly assigned to hydration with normal saline solution controlled by the RenalGuard system and furosemide (RenalGuard group) or normal saline solution (control group). The primary endpoint was the incidence of Valve Academic Research Consortium-defined AKI in the first 72 h after the procedure. RESULTS The AKI rate was lower in the RenalGuard group than in the control group (n = 3 [5.4%] vs. n =14 [25.0%], respectively, p = 0.014). The majority of patients (5.4% vs. 23.2%) developed a mild AKI (stage 1); severe damage (stage 3) occurred only in 1 patient in the control group (0.0% vs. 1.8%). No case of in-hospital renal failure requiring dialysis was reported. No significant differences in terms of mortality, cerebrovascular events, bleeding, and hospitalization for heart failure were noted in both groups at 30 days. CONCLUSIONS Furosemide-induced diuresis with matched isotonic intravenous hydration using the RenalGuard system is an effective therapeutic tool to reduce the occurrence of AKI in patients undergoing TAVR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND "Depersonalization" (DP) is a common symptom in the general population and psychiatric patients (Michal et al., 2011 [1]). DP is characterized by an alteration in the experience of the self, so that one feels detached from his or her own mental processes or body (or from the world), feeling as being an outside observer of his or her own self, and loosing the experience of unity and identity (American Psychiatric Association, 2013 [2]). AIM We performed an exploratory factor analysis of the Cambridge Depersonalization Scale Italian version (CDS-IV). METHODS We enrolled 149 inpatients and outpatients of psychiatric services located in two Italian regions, Lazio and Campania. Patients were aged between 15 and 65 and diagnosed with schizophrenic, depressive or anxiety disorders. RESULTS Four factors accounted for 97.4% of the variance. Factor 1 (10, 24, 26, 1, 13, 23, 9, 2, 5, and 11), called "Detachment from the Self", captures experiences of detachment from actions and thoughts. Factor 2 (19, 20, 27, 3, 12, 23, 22, and 11), called "Anomalous bodily experiences", refers to unusual bodily experiences. Factor 3 (7, 28, 25, 6, 9, and 2), named "Numbing", describes the dampening of affects. Factor 4 (14, 17, and 16), named "Temporal blunting", refers to the subjective experience of time. We did not find any specific factor that refers to derealization; this suggests that the constructs of depersonalization/derealization (DP/DR) were strongly related to each other. CONCLUSIONS Our results show that the constructs of DP/DR subsume several psychopathological dimensions; moreover, the above mentioned factors were broadly consistent with prior literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and the safety of early discharge (within 72 h) after transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and to identify baseline features and/or peri-procedural variables, which may affect post-TAVI length-of-stay (LoS) duration. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients discharged within 72 h of TAVI (early discharge group) were compared with consecutive patients discharged after 3 days (late discharge group). Propensity-matched cohorts of patients with a 2:1 ratio were created to better control confounding bias. Among 465 patients, 107 (23.0%) were discharged within 3 days of the procedure. Multivariable regression analysis of unmatched patients demonstrated that baseline New York Heart Association (NYHA) class IV (OR: 0.22, 95% CI 0.05 to 0.96; p=0.045) and any bleeding (OR: 0.31, 95% CI 0.74 to 0.92; p=0.031) were less likely to be associated with early discharge after TAVI. Conversely, the year of procedure (OR: 1.66, 95% CI 1.25 to 2.20; p<0.001) and the presence of a permanent pacemaker (PPM) before TAVI (OR: 2.80, 95% CI 1.36 to 5.75; p=0.005) were associated with a higher probability of early discharge. In matched populations, patients in the early discharge group reported lower incidence of in-hospital bleeding (7.9% vs 19.4%, p=0.014), major vascular complications (2.3% vs 9.1%, p=0.038) and PPM implantation (7.9% vs18.5%, p=0.021), whereas after discharge, at 30-day, no significant differences were reported between groups in terms of death (2.2% vs 1.7%, p=0.540), bleeding (0.0% vs 1.1%, p=0.444), PPM implantation (1.1% vs 0.0%, p=0.333) and re-hospitalisation (1.1% vs 1.1%, p=1.000). CONCLUSIONS Early discharge (within 72 h) after transfemoral TAVI is feasible and does not seem to jeopardise the early safety of the procedure, when performed in a subset of patients selected by clinical judgement. Patients undergoing TAVI in unstable haemodynamic compensation and patients experiencing bleeding after the procedure demonstrated to be poorly suitable to this approach, whereas increasing experience in post-TAVI management was associated with a reduction of LoS.

Abstract
AIMS Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) can be associated with varying degrees of new renal impairment. The aim of this multicentre analysis was to determine the impact and predictors of periprocedural acute kidney injury (AKI) on prognosis after TAVI. METHODS AND RESULTS From the ClinicalService (a nation-based data repository and medical care project) dataset, 1,157 patients with severe aortic stenosis treated with the third-generation CoreValve prosthesis in seven Italian sites, and with creatinine data available at baseline and during the post-TAVI in-hospital course, were included in this analysis. All outcomes were defined according to the VARC criteria. Overall, AKI occurred in 231 (20.0%): 15.4% stage 1, 2.7% stage 2, and 1.9% stage 3. Compared to patients without AKI, patients who suffered post-procedural AKI had significantly higher three-year all-cause mortality (31% vs. 12%; adjusted HR: 2.09; 95% CI: 1.52-2.87, p<0.001) and cardiovascular mortality (14% vs. 6%; adjusted HR: 2.28; 95% CI: 1.41-3.71, p=0.001). No significant differences in terms of stroke, spontaneous MI, and bleeding were reported. Female gender (adjusted OR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.01-1.87; p=0.045), baseline renal insufficiency (adjusted OR: 11.02, 95% CI: 5.12-23.73; p<0.001), general anaesthesia (adjusted OR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.00-1.87; p=0.050), and transfusion ≥3 red blood cell (RBC) units within 72 hrs from TAVI (adjusted OR: 1.65, 95% CI: 1.02-2.68; p=0.041) were found to be independent predictors of AKI. CONCLUSIONS Acute kidney injury is a frequent complication and significantly impacts on both early and long-term TAVI survival. Females, subjects with impaired renal function at baseline, patients undergoing TAVI under general anaesthesia, and patients receiving ≥3 RBC units after the procedure should be considered populations at high risk for the development of AKI after TAVI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Self-rated attenuated psychotic-like experiences (APLEs) are increasingly used to screen for ultra-high-risk (UHR) across all ages. However, self-rated psychotic-like experiences (PLEs), in particular perception-related ones, were more frequent in children and adolescents, in which they possessed less clinical significance. We therefore explored the prevalence of different factors of APLEs in help-seeking adolescents, and their relationship with age, functioning and psychopathology. METHOD As a part of the "Liberiamo il Futuro" project, help-seeking adolescents (N=171; 11-18 years, 53% male) were screened with the 92-item Prodromal Questionnaire (PQ-92). A factor analysis was performed on the PQ-92 positive items (i.e., APLEs) to identify different APLE-factors. These were assessed for their association with age, functioning and psychopathology using regression analyses. RESULTS APLEs were very common in help-seeking adolescents, and formed four factors: "Conceptual Disorganization and Suspiciousness", "Perceptual Abnormalities", "Bizarre Experiences", and "Magical Ideation". Associations with age and functioning but not psychopathology were found for "Perceptual Abnormalities" that was significantly more severe in 11-12-year-olds, while "Conceptual Disorganization and Suspiciousness" was significantly related to psychopathology. CONCLUSION In line with findings on PLEs, prevalence and clinical significance of APLEs, especially perception-related ones, might depend on age and thus neurodevelopmental stage, and may fall within the normal spectrum of experience during childhood. This should be considered when screening for UHR status in younger age groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interpersonal sensitivity is a personality trait that describes as excessive awareness of both the behaviour and feelings of others. High interpersonal sensitivity has been associated with the development and maintenance of mental health problems. This study aimed to examine whether the Italian version of the interpersonal sensitivity measure (IPSM) has good internal consistence and convergent validity. METHODS Validity was established on a sample of 153 Italian adolescents and young adult help seekers for several psychological problems. These subjects were divided in two groups - depressive spectrum disorder group (n=42) and other diagnosis group (n=111) - according to Structured Clinical Interview (SCID-I) for DSM-IV and Kiddie-Sads-Present and Lifetime Version (K-SADS-PL). For convergent validity, we studied the correlation between total and each subscale IPSM scores and the General Symptoms (included depressive and dysphoric symptoms) of Prodromal Questionnaire. RESULTS The internal consistency were adequate and comparable to the original Boyce and Parker study. The validity was good, as indicated by both the convergent validity analysis and the depressive spectrum disorder group and other diagnosis group comparison. LIMITATIONS The absence of another scale measuring interpersonal sensitivity to assess the construct validity of IPSM; the clinical heterogeneity of the sample; the absence of test re-test reliability of the instrument. CONCLUSIONS Analysis of the results of internal consistency and convergent validity of the IPSM indicates that this version translated into Italian is valid and reliable.

Abstract
We examined the interaction between ephrins and metabotropic glutamate (mGlu) receptors in the developing brain and cultured neurons. EphrinB2 coimmunoprecipitated with mGlu1a receptors, in all of the brain regions examined, and with mGlu5 receptors in the corpus striatum. In striatal slices, activation of ephrinB2 by a clustered form of its target receptor, EphB1, amplified the mGlu receptor-mediated stimulation of polyphosphoinositide (PI) hydrolysis. This effect was abolished in slices treated with mGlu1 or NMDA receptor antagonists but was not affected by pharmacological blockade of mGlu5 receptors. An interaction among ephrinB2, mGlu1 receptor, and NMDA was supported by the following observations: (1) the NR1 subunit of NMDA receptors coimmunoprecipitated with mGlu1a receptors and ephrinB2 in striatal lysates; (2) clustered EphB1 amplified excitatory amino acid-stimulated PI hydrolysis in cultured granule cells grown under conditions that favored the expression of mGlu1a receptors; and (3) clustered EphB1 amplified the enhancing effect of mGlu receptor agonists on NMDA toxicity in cortical cultures, and its action was sensitive to mGlu1 receptor antagonists. Finally, fluorescence resonance energy transfer and coclustering analysis in human embryonic kidney 293 cells excluded a physical interaction between ephrinB2 and mGlu1a (or mGlu5 receptors). A functional interaction between ephrinB and mGlu1 receptors, which likely involves adaptor or scaffolding proteins, might have an important role in the regulation of developmental plasticity.
