Abstract
Recently, fluorescence-based optical techniques have emerged as a powerful tool to probe information in the mammalian brain. However, tissue heterogeneities prevent clear imaging of deep neuron bodies due to light scattering. While several up-to-date approaches based on ballistic light allow to retrieve information at shallow depths inside the brain, non-invasive localization and functional imaging at depth still remains a challenge. It was recently shown that functional signals from time-varying fluorescent emitters located behind scattering samples could be retrieved by using a matrix factorization algorithm. Here we show that the seemingly information-less, low-contrast fluorescent speckle patterns recovered by the algorithm can be used to locate each individual emitter, even in the presence of background fluorescence. We test our approach by imaging the temporal activity of large groups of fluorescent sources behind different scattering phantoms mimicking biological tissues, and through a brain slice with a thickness of ∼200 µm.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is a lack of uniformity in the definition of normal ovary ultrasound parameters. Our aim was to summarize and meta-analyze the evidence on the topic. Full-text English articles published through December 31, 2020 were retrieved via MEDLINE and Embase. Data available for meta-analysis included: ovarian follicular count, ovarian volume, and ovarian Pulsatility Index (PI) assessed by Doppler ultrasound. METHODS Cohort, cross-sectional, prospective studies with a single or double arm were considered eligible. Interventional studies were included when providing baseline data. Both studies on pre- and post-menopausal women were screened; however, data on menopausal women were not sufficient to perform a meta-analysis. Studies on pre-pubertal girls were considered separately. Eighty-one papers were included in the meta-analysis. RESULTS The mean ovarian volume was 6.11 [5.81-6.42] ml in healthy women in reproductive age (5.81-6.42) and 1.67 ml [1.02-2.32] in pre-pubertal girls. In reproductive age, the mean follicular count was 8.04 [7.26-8.82] when calculated in the whole ovary and 5.88 [5.20-6.56] in an ovarian section, and the mean ovarian PI was 1.86 [1.35-2.37]. Age and the frequency of the transducers partly modulated these values. In particular, the 25-30-year group showed the higher mean follicular count (9.27 [7.71-10.82]), followed by a progressive age-related reduction (5.67 [2.23-9.12] in fertile women > 35 years). A significant difference in follicular count was also found according to the transducer's upper MHz limit. CONCLUSION Our findings provide a significant input to improve the interpretation and diagnostic accuracy of ovarian ultrasound parameters in different physiological and pathological settings.

Abstract
Abstract
Sustained chronic tachyarrhythmias often cause a deterioration of cardiac function known as tachycardiomyopathy. We report the case of a 69 years old male patient, who was sent to the Emergency Department by his general practitioner for worsening dyspnoea and the discovery of previously unknown atrial fibrillation. His personal history included only arterial hypertension in treatment with ARBs, with no family or personal history of coronary artery disease. At a previous echocardiogram performed in 2019, systolic and diastolic functions were normal. The ECG confirmed the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response, and blood chemistry showed a suppressed level of TSH (< 0,005 mcUI/ml), high FT3/FT4 (4.47 pg/ml/2.34 pg/ml) without any other alterations. A chest X–Ray was normal. The echocardiography evidenced a mildly dilated and hypertrophic left ventricle with severe, global systolic dysfunction, EF 25%, an enlargement of both atria, a mild mitral and tricuspid regurgitation and pulmonary artery mean systolic pressure of 35 mmHg. He was admitted to our Cardiology Department for further investigations. The patient was asymptomatic for dyspnoea at rest, only symptomatic with exertion and NYHA III, and hemodynamically stable. A coronarography excluded critical coronary stenosis. We made diagnosis of autoimmune Grave’s disease, with multiple not vascularized nodules at echography. In addition to betablockers and diuretics, an appropriate therapy for hyperthyroidism was prescribed, with an improvement of dyspnoea and a reduction of mean cardiac frequency. The patient was discharged with the indication to elective atrial cardioversion, only after thyroid function stabilization. In conclusion, we report a case of a severe systolic dysfunction in an atrial fibrillation induced cardiomyopathy, connected to an unknown thyrotoxicosis in Grave’s disease.

Abstract
The term myopericarditis is used when there are primarily pericarditis symptoms with myocardium involvement as evidenced by cardiac biomarker elevation or imaging studies revealing normal wall motion. We report a case of a young 23–years old man, who presented to the Emergency Department with fever and diarrhea lasting 5 days followed by acute chest pain, modified by trunk position. The electrocardiogram (ECG) showed diffuse inferior and anterolateral ST–segment elevation. No signs of hemodynamic instability were detected. Laboratory tests showed WBC 8840/mmc, CRP 53,2 mg/L, TnT 986 ng/L, a mildly altered liver function with AST 92 UI/L, ALT 88 UI/L, GGT 82 UI/L and an altered pancreatic function with amylase 190 UI/L, lipase 267 UI/L. Naso–pharyngeal swab was negative. The patient received COVID–19 mRNA vaccination 4 months before symptoms, with high immune response, detected with IgG dosage (465 BAU/ml). Ecocardiography showed a left ventricle with normal size, function, and segmental contractility. Valvular apparatus in normal range. Hyper–refraction of the posterior pericardium with minimal effusion. The diagnosis of acute myopericarditis was glaring and we treated the patient with high dosage of non–steroidal anti–inflammatory drugs, colchicine and ACE Inhibitors, based on the increased troponin levels (nadir 1439 nl/L), in order to prevent the possible cardiovascular remodeling. On laboratory testing, the deepening of the main causes of viral or autoimmune myopericarditis did not clarify the etiopathogenesis. No arrhythmias occurred on ECG monitoring. Cardiac MRI showed multiple areas of altered signal (T2) and altered uptake in lateral and inferior ventricular segments and in adjacent pericardium. The pain was gone in two days and left ventricle function was still preserved upon discharge. In conclusion we report a successful treatment of acute myopericarditis of unknown pathogenesis, in a healthy young man. As there are described cases of myopericarditis and myositis associated with COVID–19 in the absence of respiratory symptoms, and others related to SARSCoV2 mRNA vaccination, we dutifully excluded both.

Abstract
Abstract
Torsade de pointes is a particular type of ventricular tachycardia, characterized by QRS complexes that vary progressively in amplitude and morphology, giving the impression of oscillating around the isoelectric line. Causes include long QT syndrome (congenital or drug–induced) or severe hypomagnesemia. We report the case of a 57–year–old woman, a smoker, with a history of weight loss in the last 6 months, hospitalized in Medicine for marked asthenia and an episode of fleeting loss of consciousness, from sitting. She was asymptomatic for chest pain. The physical examination showed a pathological thinness, with BMI 15 kg/m2, rhythmic cardiac activity, no murmurs, no signs of decompensation, flat abdomen, not enlarged liver. Pale, dry skin was observed. On ECG: sinus rhythm, HR 70 bpm, QTc slightly increased 0.47 sec, flat T wave in lateral. Blood exams evidenced: hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia, rise of the amylase. On the MRI abdomen we found large inhomogeneous areas on the head and body of the pancreas, referable to the picture of focal pancreatitis. For syncopal episode during hospitalization in Medicine, she was transferred in Cardiology, where, during electrocardiographic monitoring, paroxysmal ventricular tachycardias torsade de pointes–like, symptomatic, self–resolved was registered. We diagnosed an acute pancreatitis with typical radiological characteristics of an autoimmune form, determining severe electrolyte imbalance and consequent symptomatic paroxysmal ventricular tachycardias. Oral magnesium supplement and corticosteroid therapy allowed the resolution of the arrhythmic problem, monitored over time through the implantation of a loop recorder.

Abstract
This paper presents the Mechanical Ventilator Milano (MVM), a novel intensive therapy mechanical ventilator designed for rapid, large-scale, low-cost production for the COVID-19 pandemic. Free of moving mechanical parts and requiring only a source of compressed oxygen and medical air to operate, the MVM is designed to support the long-term invasive ventilation often required for COVID-19 patients and operates in pressure-regulated ventilation modes, which minimize the risk of furthering lung trauma. The MVM was extensively tested against ISO standards in the laboratory using a breathing simulator, with good agreement between input and measured breathing parameters and performing correctly in response to fault conditions and stability tests. The MVM has obtained Emergency Use Authorization by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in healthcare settings during the COVID-19 pandemic and Health Canada Medical Device Authorization for Importation or Sale, under Interim Order for Use in Relation to COVID-19. Following these certifications, mass production is ongoing and distribution is under way in several countries. The MVM was designed, tested, prepared for certification, and mass produced in the space of a few months by a unique collaboration of respiratory healthcare professionals and experimental physicists, working with industrial partners, and is an excellent ventilator candidate for this pandemic anywhere in the world.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the relationship between wrist circumference, markers of adipose dysfunction, and cardiovascular risk in youths with obesity. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we measured body mass composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, wrist circumference, waist-to-height ratio, fasting blood insulin, glucose, lipid profile, adiponectin, and leptin in 280 children with overweight/obesity and without diabetes (age: 7-18 years). Cardiovascular risk was estimated by "metabolic syndrome score" (MetS score). RESULTS Study participants had median [25th-75th percentile] wrist circumference of 17.5 [16.7-18.5] cm and waist-to-height ratio of 0.62 [0.59-0.67]. Lower adiponectin-leptin ratio was found among subjects in the upper 50th percentiles of wrist circumference [0.17 (0.09-0.36) vs. 0.38 (0.16-0.79); p < 0.001]. Wrist circumference was independently associated with MetS score (r = 0.5 p < 0.001). Among MetS score components, an independent association between wrist circumference HDLc, triglycerides, and systolic blood pressure was found (r = - 0.253 p < 0.001; r =+ 0.204 p < 0.001; r = + 0.403 p = < 0.001, respectively). The coefficient of determination for MetS score was nominally higher when considering wrist circumference as independent variable (Adj-R2 = 0.30) then when considering body mass index SD (Adj-R2 = 0.28), waist-to-height ratio (Adj-R2 = 0.26) or truncal fat percentage (Adj-R2 = 0.01). The addition of wrist circumference in age and gender adjusted models, accounting to any other anthropometric parameters, resulted in a significant improvement of the Adj-R2 (p < 0.001 for all). CONCLUSIONS Our study shows that wrist circumference independently relates to adiponectin-leptin ratio and to the prediction of cardiovascular risk, suggesting it as an efficient and adjunctive anthropometric marker of cardiometabolic risk in children with obesity.

Abstract
PURPOSE Selenium is frequently in nutraceuticals for pregnancy, given its role on fertility and thyroid metabolism. However, most evidence rise from non-controlled studies. We aimed to evaluate the protective effect of selenium against thyroid autoimmunity during and after pregnancy. METHODS A multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was performed and promoted by the Young Italian Endocrinologists Group (EnGioI)-Italian Society of Endocrinology. Forty-five women with thyroiditis in pregnancy were enrolled and randomly assigned to L-selenomethionine (L-Se-Met) 83 mcg/day or placebo (PLB) and evaluated at 10 ± 2 (T1), 36 ± 2 weeks of gestation (T2) and 6 months after delivery (postpartum, PP). RESULTS We measured a significant reduction of autoantibodies after pregnancy in L-Se-Met group [at PP: TgAb 19.86 (11.59-52.60), p < 0.01; TPOAb 255.00 (79.00-292.00), p < 0.01], and an antibodies titer's rebound in PLB group (TgAb 151.03 ± 182.9, p < 0.01; TPOAb 441.28 ± 512.18, p < 0.01). A significant increase in selenemia was measured in L-Se-Met group at T2 (91.33 ± 25.49; p < 0.01) and PP (93.55 ± 23.53; p = 0.02). Two miscarriage occurred in PLB. No differences were found in thyroid volume, echogenicity, quality of life, maternal/fetal complications. CONCLUSIONS SERENA study demonstrated a beneficial effect of L-Se-Met supplementation on autoantibody titer during pregnancy and on postpartum thyroiditis recurrence.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Prognosis in pulmonary hypertension (PH) is strictly linked to right ventricle (RV) failure, which results from uncoupling between RV and the superimposed pressure load; in first phases, coupling between these two actors still be preserved, at the price of augmented right ventricle wall tension (RVWT).
Purpose
We sought to describe how to estimate RVWT with echocardiography, how it correlates with RV hemodynamics and if it may predict prognosis.
Methods
A total of 190 patients without overt RV failure, with suspected pulmonary hypertension (PH) to a previous echocardiography, underwent to right heart catheterization (RHC) and nearly-simultaneous echocardiography. We estimated RVWT according to Laplace law (RV length × tricuspid regurgitation peak gradient [TRPG]), in order to predict initial RV stress, and was correlated with RV hemodynamic profile; its potential prognostic impact was tested along with canonical RV function parameters.
Results
In patients enrolled in our study, RVWT correlated significantly with invasive estimation of right ventricle end diastolic pressure (R 0.343, p<0.001); a significant relationship between RVWT and several hemodynamic variables was observed (mean pulmonary artery pressure, pulmonary artery compliance, transpulmonary gradient, pulmonary vascular resistance, RV telediastolic pressure, right atrial pressure, RV stroke work index; all p<0.001). At a mean follow up of five years and three months, only RVWT predicted all-cause mortality (p 0.036), while TAPSE, TAPSE/TRPG, RV fractional area change and RV S' wave did not.
Correlation: RWVT and RV hemodynamic Hemodynamic variable R R2 p value Mean pulmonary artery pressure 0.742 0.550 <0.001 RV differential pressure 0.794 0.630 <0.001 Pulmonary artery pulsatory pressure 0.740 0.547 <0.001 Mean right atrium pressure 0.326 0.106 <0.001 Cardiac index/right atrial pressure 0.209 0.044 0.012 RV stroke work index 0.588 0.346 <0.001 Pulmonary artery compliance 0.449 0.202 <0.001 Pulmonary vascular resistance 0.531 0.282 <0.001
Prognosis: different RV variables
Discussion
We identified a novel bedside echocardiographic predictor of altered RV hemodynamic, which results precociously altered in patients without overt RV failure, and able to predict all cause mortality at a long term follow up. Further studies are needed to confirm its role in PH patients.

Abstract
Although respiratory syncytial (RS) virus is the major cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in young children, the factors that regulate the associated lung inflammation have not been defined. The levels of interleukin (IL)10, IL-12, and interferon (IFN) were determined in the nasal wash samples from 20 infants with a clinical diagnosis of bronchiolitis, seven with confirmed RS virus infections and 9 control children without respiratory illnesses. IL-10 levels were significantly higher in acute nasal wash samples (1–4 d post-hospitalization) from RS virus- infected infants than in convalescent samples from these children (14–21 d post-hospitalization), from children with other forms of bronchiolitis and from control children. In contrast, only one RS virus-infected infant had detectable IL-12 in an acute nasal wash sample. IFN activity was not detected in any samples from RS virus-infected children. RS virus infection stimulates IL-10 expression but not IL-12 and IFN, possibly contributing to an ineffective cell-mediated immune response.

Abstract
Bronchiolitis is the main cause of respiratory insufficiency in infants, characterized by acute inflammation, edema, necrosis of epithelial cells and increased mucus production. Mucus is mainly purulent and consequently rich in DNA, as derived from nuclei of degenerating neutrophils and epithelial debris. The treatment is mainly supportive; bronchodilators and systemic steroids are often used but do not reduce the length of hospital stay. The aim of our study is to evaluate the efficacy of recombinant human DNase (rhDNase), in infants affected by moderate-severe bronchiolitis. In a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study, twenty-two infants (12 males) under 6 months of age (median age 1.6 months) were enrolled and randomly assigned to receive either nebulized rhDNase or placebo (saline) at a dose of 2.5 ml once a day for three days. All infants were evaluated, based on a clinical assessment score, on admission and four times daily during the hospitalization. Placebo and study groups were sex- and age-matched and were similar in terms of clinical severity on admission. No differences were observed between the two groups of patients with regard to the length of hospitalization and clinical score during the days observed. Two out of four infants, all in the study group, presenting atelectasis on chest radiographs, showed a rapid improvement on the first day. RhDNase is not an effective routine therapy in treating infants hospitalized for bronchiolitis and it is not useful in preventing severe forms of the disease. On the contrary, it may be an effective, safe and cost-benefit treatment only in infants with bronchiolitis and massive atelectasis.

Abstract
The surfactant complex, thanks to its multiple actions including decrease of surface- tension and antimicrobial activity, plays a fundamental role in newborn survival, lowering the risk of respiratory distress syndrome. The aim of this work was to determine if the synthesis of two surfactant proteins (SP), SPA and pro-SPB, shows some inter-individual variability during lung development in the intrauterine life. Immunoreactivity for SPA and pro-SPB was investigated in the lungs of 40 subjects, including 15 fetuses, ranging from 14 to 22 weeks of gestation, and 25 neonates, from 24 to 41 weeks. Lung samples were formalin fixed, paraffin-embedded and routinely processed. SPA and pro-SPB were detected utilizing commercial antibodies. A semi-quantitative grading system (1 to 4) was applied, based on the number of reactive cells and the intensity of immunostaining. Surfactant protein immunostaining was found in three compartments: bronchi, bronchioles and alveoli, starting from 14 weeks of gestation in the bronchial epithelium and from the 21st week in the alveolar spaces. Differences were found regarding SPA and pro-SPB expression in the vast majority of subjects: in some lungs, SPA was more expressed whereas in others pro-SPB showed an higher degree of immunoreactivity. The expression of both surfactant proteins was not strictly correlated with gestational age. Whereas the highest levels of reactivity were detected in at term neonates, on the other hand one case with grade 3 was detected at 22 weeks and one negative case for both proteins was observed at 31 weeks. Our data clearly show a marked inter-individual variability regarding the production of SPA and pro-SPB and suggest the existence of other epigenetic factors, acting during gestation, that might influence surfactant production and, consequently, the survival potential of neonates at birth.

Abstract
Vasopressin and its synthetic analog terlipressin are potent vasopressors that could be useful in vasodilatory septic shock. In septic adults, vasopressin/terlipressin have been shown to increase mean arterial pressure and to decrease the necessity for catecholamines. Moreover, low doses of vasopressin (or terlipressin) increase urine output and ameliorate oxygenation. Although pediatric septic shock is more often hypodynamic, both vasopressin and terlipressin have proved to be effective in restoring blood pressure or increasing the diuresis in this setting. The purpose of this review is to summarize the physiology of vasopressin and to report the available evidence for the use of vasopressin or terlipressin in pediatric septic shock in order to make best use in this population. We also report our experience with the continuous infusion of terlipressin in two pediatric patients who developed catecholamine refractory septic shock.

Abstract
Non invasive ventilation (NIV) is commonly used to treat RDS in preterm infants. Although less risky than invasive ventilation, NIV has some potential side effects and appropriate weaning is therefore desirable. However, criteria for the definition of stability prior to attempting NIV weaning as well as the best weaning strategies need to be more investigated. The aim of this review is to identify criteria and interventions that can facilitate correct weaning from NIV.

Abstract
AIM Many randomized trials have compared coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in terms of efficacy, but data comparing outcomes of patients in which these two techniques have failed are lacking. METHODS We included patients undergoing PCI at our center between July 2002 and December 2004. Subjects were distinguished in 2 groups: those with at least one occluded or stenotic saphenous vein graft (CABG failure), and those with at least one stent with angiographically documented restenosis (PCI failure). The primary endpoint was the long-term rate of major adverse clinical events. RESULTS Two hundred and thirthy four patients were included, with a medium follow up of 61±13 months; 134 were assigned to the CABG failure group, and 104 to the PCI failure group, sharing high rates of baseline risk factors. At long term rates of death were higher in post CABG group (22.1% vs. 9.9%; P=0.015, RR 2.24 C.I. 95% 1.14-4.40) while death rates in patients with diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (24.0% vs. 23.5%; P=0.969, RR 1.020 C.I. 95% 0.38-2.74) were not different CONCLUSION PCI can be safely offered to both these kinds of patients: as recently demonstrated post CABG outcomes seem to be more favorable in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
The objective was to review and compare outcomes after tongue-lip adhesion (TLA) and mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) in infants with severe breathing difficulties related to Pierre Robin sequence (PRS). A single-centre retrospective (2002-2012) study was carried out; 18 infants with severe breathing difficulties related to PRS resistant to conservative treatment, who underwent TLA or MDO to correct airway obstruction, were enrolled. The primary outcome measures were successful weaning from respiratory support and resumption of full oral feeding. Nine underwent TLA and nine MDO. Eight of the nine infants who underwent MDO and all those treated with TLA were successfully weaned from respiratory support. After discharge, residual respiratory distress was diagnosed more commonly after TLA than after MDO (6/9 vs 1/9, P=0.050). Infants resumed oral feeding sooner after MDO than after TLA (mean days after surgery to full oral feeds 44±24 vs 217±134, P<0.003). The length of hospital stay was longer for infants treated with MDO than for those treated with TLA. The rate of complications was similar. Infants with severe airway obstruction related to PRS can benefit safely from either TLA or MDO. Although MDO lengthens the time to discharge, this option stabilizes airway patency of infants with PRS more efficiently and achieves full oral feeding more rapidly than TLA.

Abstract
The anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is among the most aggressive human tumors which fail to respond to all the currently available therapeutic approaches. As a consequence most patients die within a few months from diagnosis. In the present preclinical study, the effects of the ZM447439, a functional inhibitor of Aurora kinases, on the growth and tumorigenicity of a panel of ATC derived cell lines (CAL-62, 8305C, 8505C and BHT-101) were evaluated. The treatment of the different ATC cells with ZM447439 inhibited proliferation in a time- and dose-dependent manner, with IC50 comprised between 0.5 mM and 5 mM. Moreover, the drug remarkably impaired the formation of colonies in soft agar of all the cell lines. Consistently with Aurora inhibition, immunofluorescence and immunoblotting experiments demonstrated that Aurora auto-phosphorylation following drug treatment was completely abrogated, and treated cells were characterized by the presence of multiple spindles with short microtubules. In the same experiments we observed the loss of histone H3 phosphorylation on Ser10, specifically due to Aurora-B, after ZM447439 treatment. Time-lapse videomicroscopy and flow cytometric analysis demonstrated that in presence of ZM447439 the cells were able to enter mitosis but not to complete it, becoming polyploid. Almost all the ATC cell lines studied showed increased apoptosis after only 48 h of treatment. In conclusion, our data demonstrate that ZM447439 is effective in reducing cell growth and tumorigenicity of different ATC derived cell lines, and further investigations are needed to exploit its potential therapeutic value for ATC treatment.

Abstract
AIM Stent thrombosis is a major safety issue after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation and it is associated with major early and mid-term complications. However, its long-term impact has been incompletely described. We thus aimed to appraise incidence, predictors and very long-term outlook of stent thrombosis after bare metal stent (BMS) or drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. METHODS We identified all patients undergoing PCI with BMS or DES at our center between July 2002 and June 2004. For the purpose of this study, we employed a composite definition of stent thrombosis including any Academic Research Consortium stent thromboses (definite, probable, or possible). We adjudicated the following clinical events: death, myocardial infarction (stent thrombosis related), repeated revascularization, and the composite of these events (i.e., major adverse cardiac events, MACE). RESULTS A total of 1112 patients were included, 854 (76.8%) treated with BMS and 258 (23.2%) treated with DES. At a median follow-up of 61.2 (11.03) months the incidence of stent thrombosis was 20 (1.8%), with 14 (1.3%) definite, 4 (0.4%) probable, and 2 (0.1%) possible according to the American Research Consortium statement. Patients developing stent thrombosis were more likely to have more complex angiographic features at baseline (including angiographically evident thrombus, 4 [20%] vs. 73 [6.6%], P=0.02) and a saphenous vein graft as target vessel (2 [10%] vs. 28 [2.5%], P=0.04). Conversely, being treated with a BMS or a DES did not confer any significant decrease or increase in the risk of stent thrombosis, as 7 [35%] of those with stent thrombosis had received at least a DES vs. 251 [22.9%] of those without stent thrombosis, P=0.28). Early clinical outcomes (at 30 days) distinguishing those with stent thrombosis versus those without were as follows: death in four (20%) vs. 2 (0.2%, P<0.001), myocardial infarction in 1 (5%) vs. 7 (0.6%, P=0.02), revascularization in 5 (25%) vs. 43 (3.9%, P<0.001), and MACE in 8 (40%) vs. 53 (4.8%, P<0.001). After more than 60 months of clinical follow-up, outcomes were as follows: death in 7 (35%) vs. 147 (13.5%, P=0.057), myocardial infarction in 6 (30%) vs. 40 (3.6%, P<0.001), revascularization in 15 (75%) vs. 317 (29%, P<0.001), and MACE in 19 (95%) vs. 453 (41.5%, P<0.001). CONCLUSION This long-term registry shows that stent thrombosis remains a major safety issue after PCI with stent implantation, with a significant prognostic impact. However, in the present work the risk of stent thrombosis was similar with either DES or BMS, suggesting thus that DES are not associated with any increase in long-term thrombotic risk in comparison to BMS.

Abstract
In children with acute lung injury the endogenous surfactant system is altered via a variety of different mechanisms, including inflammation, vascular dysfunction, oxidant injury, cellular injury and oedema. This article examines the pathophysiology of acute lung injury and surfactant use for treatment of acute respiratory failure in infants and children.

Abstract
AIM Coronary artery disease represents the most important cause of mortality and morbidity in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Despite continuous improvements in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), CKD is still associated with more adverse events after PCI. We performed a retrospective study to compare bare metal stents (BMS) versus drug eluting stents (DES) in CKD. METHODS We included consecutively all patients undergoing PCI at our Centre from July 2002 to December 2005 with CKD, defined as creatinine clearance <60 mL/min. Patients who received only DES were compared to those who received only BMS. The primary end-point was the long-term rate of major adverse cardiac events (MACE, i.e. the composite of death, myocardial infarction and repeat revascularization). RESULTS We included a total of 219 patients with CKD out of a total of 2354 patients, with 164 receiving BMS and 55 DES. After a mean follow up of 48 months, the MACE rate was significantly higher in BMS group (71% versus 38%, P<0.001). A similarly increased risk with BMS was found for death (45% versus 17%, P<0.001), whereas the rates for repeat coronary revascularization, myocardial infarction and stent thrombosis were not significantly different. Multivariable analysis showed that BMS vs.. DES implantation was not statistically significant associated with MACE, death, myocardial infarction, rePTCA or stent thrombosis. CONCLUSION Compared with BMS, use of DES in patients with CKD is safe and effective in reducing adverse outcomes. However, differences found between groups in clinical end-point could be ascribed to selection bias and confounding factors.

Abstract
AIM Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation is a well known risk factor leading to an increased rates of stroke, cardiovascular death and myocardial infarction. Anyway there are few data on very-long term outcome (more than 1 year follow up) of PAD after stent implantation. We thus aimed to evaluate the influence of PAD on very long-term outcome of our PCI-population. METHODS We retrospectively identified all patients undergoing PCI with stent implantation at our center between July 2002 and June 2004, and thus eligible for at least 4 years of follow-up. For the purpose of this study, we considered a diagnosis of PAD based on clinical evaluation and/or angiographic documentation. We adjudicated the following clinical events: death, myocardial infarction, repeat revascularization, and their composite (i.e. major adverse cardiac events, MACE). RESULTS; A total of 1008 patients were included, 109 with PAD and 899 Without PAD. Those with had more often diabetes (35% vs. 25%, P=0.002), hypertension (83% vs. 68%, P=0.001) and unfavorable basal clinical condition at the start of this study: past-Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) (30% vs. 22%, P=0.005), past-Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) (24% vs. 14%, P=0.001), ejection fraction (EF) <35% (14% vs. 7%, P=0.02) and chronic renal failure (CRF) (15% vs. 6%, P=0.002). In addiction patient with PAD were more likely to have chronic total occlusion (CTO) (36% vs. 25%, p=0.02) and unprotected left main (16% vs. 8%,P=0.01). Clinical outcome at the time of follow-up (4,42 ± 1,66 years) was as follow: Revascularization (53% vs. 37%, P=0.002), Cardiac death (21% vs. 13%, P=0.04), MACE (69% vs. 49%, p<.001). Independent predictors of MACE according to our survival analysis were: PAD (HR 1.31; 95% CI 1.01-1.69), Age >75 (HR 1.23; 95% CI 1-1.51), Chronic heart failure (HR1.72; 95% CI 1.19-2.5), Unprotected left main (HR 1.48; 95% CI 1.12-1.96). CONCLUSION This long-term registry shows that PAD remains an important clinical condition that negatively influences the outcome of patients undergoing PCI with stent implantation in a very long-term follow-up period.

Abstract
Genetic instability, a hallmark of solid tumors including thyroid cancers, is thought to represent the mean by which premalignant cells acquire novel functional capabilities responsible for cancer cell growth and tumour progression. Over the last few years, the knowledge of the molecular processes controlling the mitotic phase of the cell cycle has increased considerably, and different mitotic proteins, whose expression or function has been found altered in human cancer tissues, have been associated to tumour genetic instability and aneuploidy. These include the three members of the Aurora kinase family (Aurora-A, -B and -C), serine/threonine kinases that regulate multiple aspects of chromosome segregation and cytokinesis. The genes encoding the Aurora kinases have been shown to induce cell malignant transformation, and their overexpression has been detected in several tumor derived cell lines and tissues, being often associated with a poor prognosis. Over the last decade, specific inhibitors of Aurora kinases exhibited in preclinical and early phase clinical studies a good therapeutic efficacy against several tumour types, including the highly aggressive anaplastic thyroid cancer and the medullary thyroid cancer. In the present review we'll first focus on the Aurora mitotic functions in normal cells; then we shall describe the main implications of their overexpression in the onset of genetic instability and consequent aneuploidy. We shall finally discuss on the effects of the functional inhibition of Aurora kinases on thyroid cancer cells growth and tumorigenicity.

Abstract
Background Clinical studies suggest that testosterone (T) plays an important role in the male predominance of the clinical manifestations of the Brugada syndrome (BS). However, no statistically significant correlations have been observed between T levels and electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters in the BS patients. We investigated whether the hormonal pattern and the variation within CAG repeat polymorphism in exon 1 of the androgen receptor (AR) gene, affecting androgen sensitivity, are associated with the Brugada ECG phenotype in males. Methods and Results 16 male patients with BS (mean age 45.06 ± 11.3 years) were studied. 12-lead ECG was recorded. Blood levels of follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, prolactin, testosterone, free-T, dihydrotestosterone, 17-β-estradiol, estrone, 3-alpha-androstanediol-glucuronide, delta-4-androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate, progesterone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone, and sex hormone binding globulin were assayed. Genotyping of CAG repeats on DNA extracted from leukocytes was carried out. No relationship was found between hormone values and ECG parameters of BS. BS patients showed the CAG length normally recognized in the human polymorphism range and the number of CAG repeats did not correlate with the ECG pattern of BS. Conclusions The AR CAG repeat length does not correlate with the ECG features of the patients affected by BS. The search for genes downstream AR activation as possibly responsible for the increased risk of spontaneous arrhythmias in BS males after puberty is warranted.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Congenital auricular anomalies can be categorized either as malformational or deformational. The first are characterized by a partial absence of the skin or cartilage resulting in a constricted or underdeveloped pinna and require surgical correction. Deformations are characterized by a misshaped but fully developed pinna and are best treated by auricular molding. AIM Authors want to present their case load in treatment of infants affected by deformational auricolar anomalies and describe their techniques using early splinting for congenital auricular deformities, like prominent ear, lop ear, constricted ear, Stahl's ear. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between 2009 to 2011, in Maxillo and Oral Surgery Unit, a nonsurgical technique was used to treat 22 ears affected by deformational anomalies in 12 patients soon after birth. Four patients were female. This kind of nonsurgical correction of the deformed auricle was performed on lop ears (n=6), constricted ears (n=8), prominent ears (n= 4), Stahl's ear (n=4). Children more than two months old were also excluded. The mean of treatment time was 5.5 weeks. RESULTS according to the Authors and the parents 100% of treated auricles improved. Improving at the end of the molding treatment was observed in 18% of the auricles, but recurrence to one year of stopping treatment. There were not complications caused by this procedure. CONCLUSIONS The nonsurgical molding has the advantage to correct at a very early age a cosmetic abnormality, giving a natural and in the most of the time a satisfactory results, with a prevalence rate of complications of much less than surgical corrections.
