Compensatory Feto-Placental Upregulation of the Nitric Oxide System during Fetal Growth Restriction

Background: Fetal Growth Restriction is often associated with a feto-placental vascular dysfunction conceivably involving endothelial cells. Our study aimed to verify this pathogenic role for feto-placental endothelial cells and, coincidentally, demonstrate any abnormality in the nitric oxide system. Methods: Prenatal assessment of feto-placental vascular function was combined with measurement of nitric oxide (in the form of S-nitrosohemoglobin) and its nitrite byproduct, and of the endogenous nitric oxide synthase inhibitor asymmetric dimethylarginine. Umbilical vein endothelial cells were also harvested to determine their gene profile. The study comprised term pregnancies with normal (n = 40) or small-for-gestational-age (n = 20) newborns, small-for-gestational-age preterm pregnancies (n = 15), and bi-chorial, bi-amniotic twin pregnancies with discordant fetal growth (n = 12). Results: Umbilical blood nitrite (p<0.001) and S-nitrosohemoglobin (p = 0.02) rose with fetal growth restriction while asymmetric dimethylarginine decreased (p = 0.003). Nitrite rise coincided with an abnormal Doppler profile from umbilical arteries. Fetal growth restriction umbilical vein endothelial cells produced more nitrite and also exhibited reciprocal changes in vasodilator (upwards) and vasoconstrictor (downwards) transcripts. Elevation in blood nitrite and S-nitrosohemoglobin persisted postnatally in the fetal growth restriction offspring. Conclusion: Fetal growth restriction is typified by increased nitric oxide production during pregnancy and after birth. This response is viewed as an adaptative event to sustain placental blood flow. However, its occurrence may modify the endothelial phenotype and may ultimately represent an element of risk for cardiovascular disease in adult life.Fil: Pisaneschi, Silvia.

La identidad actoral en el campo teatral porteño: avances y retrocesos en la compleja configuración del actor como trabajador

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo central indagar en la problemática situación identitaria de los actores en tanto trabajadores. Con ese propósito, se realizará un recorrido desde las primeras décadas hasta mediados del siglo XX, con el afán de establecer en qué medida los roles jugados por el campo teatral y el Estado en los años '40 y '50 impidieron o promovieron la configuración de una identidad del actor como trabajador.Fil: Leonardi, Yanina Andrea.

Integrated multidisciplinary ecological analysis from the Uluzzian settlement at the Uluzzo C Rock Shelter, south-eastern Italy

open20siThe Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition, between 50 000 and 40 000 years ago, is a period of important ecological and cultural changes. In this framework, the Rock Shelter of Uluzzo C (Apulia, southern Italy) represents an important site due to Late Mousterian and Uluzzian evidence preserved in its stratigraphic sequence. Here, we present the results of a multidisciplinary analysis performed on the materials collected between 2016 and 2018 from the Uluzzian stratigraphic units (SUs) 3, 15 and 17. The analysis involved lithic technology, use-wear, zooarchaeology, ancient DNA of sediments and palaeoproteomics, completed by quartz single-grain optically stimulated luminescence dating of the cave sediments. The lithic assemblage is characterized by a volumetric production and a debitage with no or little management of the convexities (by using the bipolar technique), with the objective to produce bladelets and flakelets. The zooarchaeological study found evidence of butchery activity and of the possible exploitation of marine resources, while drawing a picture of a patchy landscape, composed of open forests and dry open environments surrounding the shelter. Ancient mitochondrial DNA from two mammalian taxa were recovered from the sediments. Preliminary zooarchaeology by mass spectrometry results are consistent with ancient DNA and zooarchaeological taxonomic information, while further palaeoproteomics investigations are ongoing. Our new data from the re-discovery of the Uluzzo C Rock Shelter represent an important contribution to better understand the meaning of the Uluzzian in the context of the Middle/Upper Palaeolithic transition in south-eastern Italy.First published: 13 July 2021openSARA SILVESTRINI, MATTEO ROMANDINI, GIULIA MARCIANI, SIMONA ARRIGHI, LISA CARRERA, ANDREA FIORINI, JUAN MANUEL LÓPEZ-GARCÍA, FEDERICO LUGLI, FILOMENA RANALDO, VIVIANE SLON, LAURA TASSONI, OWEN ALEXANDER HIGGINS, EUGENIO BORTOLINI, ANTONIO CURCI, MATTHIAS MEYER, MICHAEL CHRISTIAN MEYER, GREGORIO OXILIA, ANDREA ZERBONI, STEFANO BENAZZI, SPINAPOLICE ENZA ELENASARA SILVESTRINI, MATTEO ROMANDINI, GIULIA MARCIANI, SIMONA ARRIGHI, LISA CARRERA, ANDREA FIORINI, JUAN MANUEL LÓPEZ-GARCÍA, FEDERICO LUGLI, FILOMENA RANALDO, VIVIANE SLON, LAURA TASSONI, OWEN ALEXANDER HIGGINS, EUGENIO BORTOLINI, ANTONIO CURCI, MATTHIAS MEYER, MICHAEL CHRISTIAN MEYER, GREGORIO OXILIA, ANDREA ZERBONI, STEFANO BENAZZI, SPINAPOLICE ENZA ELEN

Il pianeta in mare, directed by Andrea Segre (2019)

Porto Marghera, one of the largest industrial areas in Italy, and one of the most important European chemical hubs, was founded in 1918, just 5 km from the centre of Venice. The city had no more land, so they decided to fill the swamps of the lagoon: an area of 2000 hectares was created, with 40 km of roads, 135 km of railway lines and 18 km of navigable canals. This is the century-old heritage of Marghera explored by Andrea Segre in "Il pianeta in mare" [A Planet in the Sea], where contemporary and images of the past reveal the contradictions of such a peculiar microcosm

A study of the recent chemical evolution of the Large Magellanic Cloud

Abstract: we present the results of a study of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) chemical evolution during the last 2.2 Gyr. This study is based on Washington photometric observations of LMC's star clusters carried out with the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) 4 m telescope, using the C and T_1 filters. As tracers of the LMC's chemical enrichment we used 83 star clusters, from which 40 clusters are projected onto the bar region, 23 in the inner disc and 20 in the outer disc. More than half of the total sample has not been previously studied. We determine size, reddening, deprojected distance, age and metallicity of the observed star clusters.Fil: Palma, Tali.

Causal etiology of the research of James M. Robins

This issue of Statistical Science draws its inspiration from the work of James M. Robins. Jon Wellner, the Editor at the time, asked the two of us to edit a special issue that would highlight the research topics studied by Robins and the breadth and depth of Robins' contributions. Between the two of us, we have collaborated closely with Jamie for nearly 40 years. We agreed to edit this issue because we recognized that we were among the few in a position to relate the trajectory of his research career to date.Fil: Richardson, Thomas S..

Every picture tells a story: pupil representations of learning the violin

Abstract: &#13; The influence on learning outcomes of interpersonal interaction amongst&#13; teachers, pupils and parents is the subject of an inquiry that took this researcher on a&#13; voyage from the qualitative to the quantitative side of the “methodological divide”, and&#13; back again.&#13; This paper presents findings from first phase of the research, which included a&#13; quantitative survey to examine how learning and teaching experience for violin pupils was&#13; influenced by the interpersonal dynamics of responsiveness and control, within pupilparent&#13; and pupil-teacher relationships.&#13; As part of the survey pupils were asked to draw pictures of their violin lessons. It was&#13; thought that the pictures might reveal pupils’ perceptions of their experience of learning&#13; an instrument and that the pictures would add depth to the quantitative scales that&#13; measured interpersonal mechanisms and pupil outcomes.&#13; The pictures were subjected to content analysis and coded accordingly. These codes&#13; were matched with pupil artists’ scores for control and responsiveness, as well as with&#13; their scores for outcomes that included enjoyment of music, personal satisfaction, self&#13; esteem, self efficacy, friendship, motivation and musical attainment. Analysis of variance&#13; was computed in order to test the null hypotheses that a) pupil-teacher-parent&#13; interpersonal behaviour (control and responsiveness) was not represented in their&#13; pictures and b) pupil outcomes were not reflected in their depictions of violin lessons. This&#13; paper presents the results of this analysis, thus addressing the question of whether the&#13; pictures could be accepted as telling a credible and coherent story about pupils’&#13; perceptions of learning the violin
