With the aim of deepening our understanding deep-seated fluids upwelling and mixing in large regional aquifers, we performed a hydrogeochemical study twenty-two springs Contursi area (upper Sele river valley, southern Apennines) by means measurements chemical-physical parameters, major ions, trace elements, stable radioactive isotopes. Besides, realized two updated geo-structural cross-sections...

Adhesion of circulating leukocytes to the vascular endothelium during inflammation is mediated in part by their interaction with the endothelial-leukocyte adhesion molecule ELAM-1. ELAM-1, a member of the LEC-CAM family of cell adhesion molecules, expresses an N-terminal carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) homologous to various calcium-dependent mammalian lectins. However, the contribution of...

BACKGROUND Chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU) is a complicated skin disease with unknown pathophysiology. MicroRNAs (miRNA) have been shown to be active in cellular regulation. The goal of this pilot study was to examine whether miRNAs may be involved in the regulation of CIU or as biomarkers for CIU. METHODS Four groups of three patients each were selected: patients with either active hives ...

BACKGROUND Malignant B-cell clones are affected by both acquired genetic alterations and by inherited genetic variations changing the inflammatory tumour microenvironment. METHODS We investigated 50 inflammatory response gene polymorphisms in 355 B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL) samples encompassing 216 diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and 139 follicular lymphoma (FL) and 307 contro...
