description: Mutagenic properties of terpenes (both synthesis and plant
derived) have been tested, up to now, as a single molecule.
A terpenes containing hydro-alcoholic solution deriving from
frankincense and myrrh resins and hyssop essential oil was
assayed for mutagenicity by means of Ames test. Extraction tech-
nique conducted with electromagnetic fields at room temperature
enabled to obtain a solution of free active molecules that did
not undergo thermal degradation and characterized by biocidal
activity. In order to verify lack of mutagenic hazard in coming
into contact with human, the solution was appropriately diluted
and tested with Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA1535 and
YG1024 strains, both in absence and in presence of metabolic
system S9. For none of the tested conditions a 2-fold increase of
induced revertants, as regards to spontaneous, was registered.
The ratio between induced and spontaneous His+ revertants
(Mutagenic Index) was around 1.00 in all the determinations
and no statistically significant differences have been identified
comparing the sample and the negative control. A similar result
has been obtained for the dose-response curve. In conclusion,
we verified that tested terpenes solution lacks of mutagenicity on
Salmonella typhimurium with and without metabolic activator so
this plant extract can be safely used as biocide.

Year: 2023

description: The utilization of topical formulations containing alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) has garnered considerable attention. This review summarizes the effectiveness of the most common topical AHA formulations, including mechanisms of action and future research directions. AHAs have a dramatic impact on diverse skin conditions, enhancing texture and stimulating collagen synthesis. Uncertainties persist regarding optimal concentration, pH, and vehicle for maximum efficacy. Advancements in formulation technologies offer opportunities for AHA penetration and stability. Understanding mechanisms is vital for skincare optimization. The review covers AHAs, their concentrations, formulation considerations, safety measures, and future directions.

description: Introduction. In dentistry, as in surgery, there is a risk of cross-
infection for both patients and staff. The aim of this research was
to evaluate procedures and behaviors enacted by dental staff
which might engender a risk for themselves and their patients.
Methods. A questionnaire was administered to 106 dental
workers in Genoa (Italy), both public and private. Whenever
personal interviews were conducted, the facilities involved were
also inspected and the activities of the dental staff were observed
directly.
Results. This research highlighted some critical points in both
structural and organizational features and in the management
of infective hazards in the sample considered. In some cases,
inadequacies were noted with regard to the prevention of cross-
infections, such as the lack of disinfection of work surfaces and
the handles of chair-set accessories.
Discussion and conclusions. The particular nature of dental
work, in which aerosols of blood and saliva may be produced by
rotating instruments, engenders a risk of infection. Application
of the various preventive measures available can significantly
reduce microbial contamination and the risk of occupational
infection and cross-infections. Furthermore, improvement in the
structural and organizational features of dental surgeries and the
continuing education of health-care workers is indispensable to
the control and prevention of infectious diseases.

description: Background. A geographic analysis of the causes of death is an
important tool for assessing the effectiveness of Public Health
initiatives. The aim of this study is to analyse the causes of death
between 2000 and 2004, to discover any excess mortality from can-
cer in Province of Taranto, an area at high environmental risk.
Methods. Mortality data from cancer were selected from the
Puglia Regional Nominative Causes of Death Registry. Crude
and standardized rates and Standardized Mortality Ratios (SMR)
were calculated for the five Provinces of the Puglia Region, their
capital cities and in four concentric rings around the industrial
area located in Province of Taranto.
Results. Even if the highest death rate for all tumours resulted in
the Province of Lecce (24.9 x 10,000), in the cities of Lecce and
Bari (29 x 10,000), the distribution of the SMRs in Province of
Taranto showed an excess of mortality (+10%) in the ring next
to industrial area. For lung cancer the highest rate was reported
in city of Taranto (6 x10,000) and the highest risk (+24%) in the
ring next to industrial area. Moreover, in this area 9 (70%) of
the 13 considered malignant tumours types presented an excess
of mortality.
Conclusion. The results uphold the data reported in the pub-
lished literature. It is fundamental to intensify research into
other risk factors (exposure at work and aberrant lifestyles).
Moreover, there is an increasing need for a Regional Cancer
Register.

description: Objectives. This study aims to assess the trend in initiation and
cessation of smoking across successive birth cohorts, according
to gender and education, in order to provide useful suggestion
for tobacco control policy.
Study design. The study is based on data from the ?Health
conditions and resort to sanitary services? survey carried out
in Italy from October 2004 to September 2005 by the National
Institute of Statistics. Through a multisampling procedure
a sample representative of the entire national territory was
selected.
Methods. In order to calculate trends in smoking initiation and
cessation, data were stratified for birth cohorts, gender and edu-
cation level, and analyzed through the life table method.
Results. The cumulative probability of smoking initiation, across
subsequent generations, shows a downward trend followed by
a plateau. This result highlights that there is not a shred of
evidence to support the hypothesis of an anticipation in smok-
ing initiation. The cumulative probability of quitting, across
subsequent generations, follows an upward trend, highlighting
the growing tendency of smokers to become an ?early quitter?,
who give up within 30 years of age.
Conclusion. Results suggest that the Italian antismoking
approach, for the most part targeted at preventing the initiation
of smoking emphasising the negative consequences, has an effect
on the early smoking cessation. Health policies should reinforce
the existing trend of ?early quitting? through specific actions. In
addition our results show that men with low education exhibit
the higher probability of smoking initiation and the lower prob-
ability of early quitting, and therefore should be targeted with
special attention.

description: Background. US literary studies scholar, James F. English, argues that curricular book listening could ‘come out of the closet’ if audiobooks were set as reading options in higher education. This would make us ‘rethink some old assumptions about literariness and mediation’ and promote a mode of teaching that encourages more university students to connect deeply with literature (PMLA, 135:2, 2020).

Contribution. This essay explores the personal and pedagogical affordances of streamed audiobook reading for pedagogical enrichment in higher education. We place streamed audiobooks into the historical context of group aural reading practices that predate the modern adult reading practices of solo and silent reading. We explore our own personal experiences of audiobooks and what we gain from listening to professionally vocalised texts that might transpose to a literary studies classroom. Streamed audiobooks are currently precluded from university libraries by restrictive licensing arrangements that need to be rethought for our increasingly diverse range of students in an increasingly digital world. We argue that streamed audiobooks offer a compelling means of enhancing literary studies for higher education literature students by expanding the cognitive and affective range of literary response.

Significance. This essay was competitively selected and commissioned as part of ‘The Collective’, a literary collaboration between RMIT’s non/fictionLab and widely-read online literary review Sydney Review of Books (SRB). This essay, coauthored with Brigid Magner, is paired with another essay on a related topic by industry practitioner-scholars (Romy Ash and Rose Michael's, The Third Space: Giving Voice to Works in Progress). SRB has published articles by leading Australian writers including J.M.Coetzee, Ross Gibson, Chris Krause, David Malouf and many more.

description: Ectopic lipid accumulation, including intra-pancreatic fat deposition (IPFD), exacerbates type 2 diabetes risk in susceptible individuals. Dysregulated circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified as correlating with clinical measures of pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer and type 1 diabetes. The aim of the current study was therefore to examine the association between circulating abundances of candidate miRNAs, IPFD and liver fat deposition as quantified using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS). Asian Chinese (n = 34; BMI = 26.7 ± 4.2 kg/m2) and European Caucasian (n = 34; BMI = 28.0 ± 4.5 kg/m2) females from the TOFI_Asia cohort underwent MRI and MRS analysis of pancreas (MR-%IPFD) and liver fat (MR-%liver fat), respectively, to quantify ectopic lipid deposition. Plasma miRNA abundances of a subset of circulatory miRNAs associated with IPFD and liver fat deposition were quantified by qRT-PCR. miR-21-3p and miR-320a-5p correlated with MR-%IPFD, plasma insulin and HOMA2-IR, but not MR-%liver fat. MR-%IPFD remained associated with decreasing miR-21-3p abundance following multivariate regression analysis. miR-21-3p and miR-320a were demonstrated to be negatively correlated with MR-%IPFD, independent of ethnicity. For miR-21-3p, this relationship persists with the inclusion of MR-%liver fat in the model, suggesting the potential for a wider application as a specific circulatory correlate of IPFD.

description: Introduction. Rubella is generally a mild rush fever disease
when acquired in childhood, but when infection occurs during
the first months of pregnancy, high risk of trans-placental
transmission to the foetus and of congenital anomalies exists.
In November 2003, a National Plan for measles and congenital
rubella elimination was approved in Italy. The aim was to reduce
and maintain Congenital Rubella Syndrome incidence lower than
1 case per 100.000 live births/year by 2007. Since June 2006,
Liguria Administrative Region recognized U.O. Hygiene, ?San
Martino? University Hospital, Genoa, as regional reference
laboratory for diagnosis of rubella infection during pregnancy
and post-partum
Methods. Twenty-one-month virological-surveillance results
between April 2007 and December 2008 were reported in terms
of demographic data, risk factors, access reasons, clinical picture,
vaccination, previous rubella disease, laboratory results of
pregnant women and newborns.
Results and conclusion. Since the beginning of surveillance, 65
pregnant women with suspected virus infection and 18 newborns
with suspected congenital rubella were followed up. The results
of laboratory surveillance highlighted (i) the importance of an
early screening, (ii) the suboptimal specificity of chemiluminescent
assays, that often yield false positive IgM results and (iii) the fundamental
role of second-level laboratory to confirm the serological
diagnosis and to detect the virus by molecular techniques.

description: Introduction. The aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence
of anti-HEV antibodies in humans sera and to study
HEV prevalence in swine from different Sardinian farms, testing
viral HEV-RNA in bile samples.
Methods. In the first six months of 2008, 532 subjects of whom
402 blood donors and 130 workers at zoonotic risk, were
enrolled. Anti-HEV were determined with an enzyme linked
immunosorbent assay (ELISA). In positive subjects, RNA was
extracted and tested by RT-Nested-PCR.
From July 2006 to March 2007, 95 bile samples were collected
from randomly selected pigs. RNA was extracted from 250 ?l of
bile and tested by RT-Nested-PCR.
Results. The overall prevalence of anti-HEV antibodies was
4.3%; 5.0% among blood donors and 2.3% among workers at
zoonotic risk, with no statistically significant differences between
sex, age classes and occupation. The search for HEV-RNA in the
subjects positive for antibodies, gave negative results.
HEV genome was detected in 6 of the 95 swine bile samples
tested. Sequences were clustered within the genotype 3 and are
edited on GenBank under accession number: from FJ850960 to
FJ850962 and from FJ883000 to FJ883002.
Discussion. The overall prevalence of anti-HEV shows that the
virus circulates without giving origin to cases of acute hepatitis.
The low prevalence value found in workers at zoonotic risk do
not apparently support the hypothesis of professional risk. In
this study, HEV-RNA was isolated from pigs in Sardinia for the
first time confirming the role of swine as HEV reservoir and the
possibility of virus transmission to humans.

description: RESEARCH BACKGROUND: This essay explores the fluidity of power and oppression as dependent on subject positions within Southeast Asian realities. Main influences include Philip Lopate’s The Art of the Personal Essay, and Bouma, Ling and Pratt’s arguments on the complexity of religious heterodoxies (2010). Examining the sociopolitical realities of the region, my research asks, how does a singular diasporic subject embedded within complex heterodoxies navigate the sacred and the profane?

RESEARCH CONTRIBUTION: Circumambulations on Water uses multiple textual snapshots of different and opposing social situations where the notion of the minority group and the dominant group intersect and switch depending on national and cultural contexts. It is structured according to the Sirpa Sastra, the traditional architectural requirements of Hindu temples, in reference to dominant regional perceptions of temples as a contested space of mystery and paganism, occasionally culminating in illegal demolitions. The essay constructs an interchangeability of the power imbalances between the dominant and minority cultures as being similar to the interplays between the secular and the religious, imbuing the idea of the temple with contradictory social meanings.

RESEARCH SIGNIFICANCE: The essay has been anthologised in The Second Link, a collection specifically commemorating 60 years of the Federation of Malaysia. The collection is published by Marshall Cavendish International, a leading trade publisher in Asia, with a five decade history, and part of Times Publishing Group. It reached number one in the Amazon bestseller list for Asian Literature, based on pre-orders alone.

description: Background: The purpose of this study was to design, usability test, and explore the feasibility of a web-based educational platform/intervention for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) as part of their virtual AF care. Methods: Participants were patients attending a specialized AF clinic. The multiple mixed-methods design included website design, think-aloud usability test, 1-month unstructured pre-testing analysis using Google Analytics, follow-up interviews, and a non-randomized one-group feasibility test using pre/post online surveys and Google Analytics. Results: Usability testing participants (n = 2) guided adjustments for improving navigation. Pre-testing participants’ (n = 9) website activity averaged four sessions (SD = 2.6) at 10 (SD 8) minutes per session during a 1-month study period. In the feasibility test, 30 patients referred to AF specialty clinic care completed the baseline survey, and 20 of these completed the 6-month follow-up survey. A total of 19 patients accessed the website over the 6 months, and all 30 participants were sent email prompts containing information from the website. Health-related quality of life, treatment satisfaction, household activity, and AF knowledge scores were higher at follow-up than baseline. There was an overall downward trend in self-reported healthcare utilization at follow-up. Conclusions: Access to a credible education website for patients with AF has great potential to complement virtual and hybrid models of care.

description: The aim of the present study was to ascertain frequency and persistence of Candida spp. oral and urinary carriage in asymptomatic, HAART-naive HIV-seropositive subjects who had not undergone therapy with antimycotic drugs, and whose CD4+ lymphocyte count was greater than 200/?l. Oral carriage was the most common Candida spp. carriage (63.0% of the subjects), while candiduria was more rarely observed (6.5%). C. albicans was recovered from the majority of the subjects examined (56.5%), followed by C. krusey (4.3%), C. tropicalis (2.2%) and C. dubliniensis (2.2%). C. albicans was also isolated from two urinary carriers (4.3%) and C. glabrata from another one (2.2%). The same C. albicans clone was repeatedly isolated from 14 out of 15 oral carriers while the same clone of C. dubliniensis was repeatedly isolated from one carrier, as shown by the persistence of RAPD fingerprint of serial isolates during one year of follow-up. Since persistence of Candida spp. carriage may influence the development of clinical candidiasis in immunocompromised hosts, monitoring of the carrier status could be useful for preventing clinical thrush in HIV-seropositive subjects.

description: Introduction. Rubella can have particularly serious effects on
the product of conception if contracted during pregnancy. Thus,
the main aim of rubella vaccination programmes is to prevent
infection during pregnancy.
Materials and methods. A seroepidemiological study was
conducted from July 2006 to December 2007 on 1,000 women
of childbearing age, 15 to 45 years old, using specific rubivirus
antibody assays, IgG and IgM. A questionnaire administered
at the same time allowed us to survey how much women knew
about this disease. In addition, MMR vaccine coverage rates
were analysed for cohorts born in the local health districts of
Messina for the period 1993-2006.
Results. An analysis of the replies given to the questionnaire
showed an estimated 42.8% of the women to have immunity
from rubella, while the serological study showed an immunity
coverage rate of 80.6%. Vaccination coverage in the local health
districts regarding the first dose of MMR was 81% (cohorts
1993-2005), while the rate was only 24% for the second dose
(cohorts 1993-2002).
Conclusions. Both immunity coverage in women of childbearing
age and that for newborns (for the cohort considered) fall below the
95% target set by the National Elimination Plan for Measles and
Congenital Rubella (PNEM). It is therefore necessary to provide
women with adequate information about the risks of rubella during
pregnancy and about the benefits of vaccination, as well as to
recoup subjects at risk or those whose immune status is unknown.
Public health authorities also need to make continued efforts to
increase the number of MMR vaccinations throughout the region.

description: Using a self-reported questionnaire, 130 Yazd Medical University
students were surveyed about their knowledge towards
ecstasy and their use of ecstasy based on Health Belief Model.
The age range was 18-31 years. Approximately, 23% of students
had seen an ecstasy tablet, 6 (4.6%) had used ecstasy
(2 female and 4 male), 4 of them lived in a dormitory and 2
were tenants. The levels of knowledge, perceived barrier and
perceived benefit of students who had used ecstasy were lower
than those who hadn?t used ecstasy. There was a significant
difference between the knowledge, perceived barrier and
perceived benefit of samples and use of ecstasy (p  inf.  0.008,
p  inf.  0.003 and p  inf.  0.13, respectively). Approximately, 74%
of the students were eager to know more about ecstasy and
its effects. Finally, the students were asked to select one or
more item from a list of six which they considered the best
way for providing young people with accurate information,
and the responses (as percentages) for each source were as
follows: discussion with parents: 1.5%; television programs:
64.6%; radio programs: 1.5%; talk at university: 12.3%;
friends: 12.3%; newspapers/magazine articles: 7.7%. The data
revealed that the knowledge of participants about ecstasy was
low (mean = 27.69 Â± 3.53 out of 48).The mean grade score of
knowledge of males was more than females. A survey in Kerman
(Iran) showed that the knowledge of general practitioners
about ecstasy was lower than 50% and the knowledge of males
was more than females.

Utility of virosomal adjuvated influenza vaccines: a review of the literature

description: In spite of the efforts of the World Health Organization (WHO), influenza continues to be a major public health problem, both because of its impact on the health of subjects at risk, such as the elderly, and because of the economic burden that it places on society. Adjuvants are agents which, when incorporated into vaccines, enhance the immunogenicity of their antigens. The need for ever more immunogenic and efficacious influenza vaccines has led to the development of innovative vaccines. One of these, the viro- somal vaccine, has been on the market since 1997. The results obtained through controlled clinical studies and wide- spread application in the field suggest that the virosomal vaccine is not only an important tool for the prevention of seasonal influ- enza but also a valid means of potentiating the effect of a pan- demic influenza vaccine and, perhaps, of preparing multivalent or combined vaccines.

description: Shigella and Salmonella infections represent a major health problem, particularly in the developing countries. 165 million cases of Shigella infection occur annually worldwide with 1.1 million deaths with most of the causality in children under 5 years of age. Plasmid mediated fluoroquinolone resistance is on the rise among enteric pathogens. This study was aimed to investigate the horizontal transfer of fluoroquinolone resistant gene harbouring plasmid from multi-drug resistant (MDR) Shigella spp. to susceptible Salmonella spp., which are closely related among diarrheal infections.

A total of 67 MDR Shigella spp. were isolated from faeces samples from January to December 2014. Isolates were identified by standard biochemical tests and further serotyped by slide agglutination test with commercial antisera. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed as per Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. 20 MDR Shigella spp were selected in random for further analysis. Quinolone resistance genes (qnrA, qnrB and qnrS) were identified by colony PCR for all isolates. Plasmids were isolated from 20 isolates for confirmation of the presence of qnr genes. MDR Shigella isolates (n = 2), harbouring plasmid with qnrS gene was conjugated with completely susceptible Salmonella spp. to observe horizontal gene transfer. Selection of conjugates were done using antibiotic medium. Next generation sequencing (NGS) was performed to confirm the identity of the conjugated plasmid.

6 out of 20 MDR Shigella isolates had qnrS genes in addition to one qnrB gene in one isolate. The qnrS containing plasmid was observed to successfully transfer from MDR Shigella isolates (n = 2) to susceptible Salmonella spp. through conjugation. PCR of the transferred plasmid confirmed the presence of qnrS gene. NGS confirmed that the same qnrS harbouring plasmid was transferred from Shigella spp. to Salmonella spp.
This study clearly demonstrates that the plasmid donated by Shigella spp. can be naturally acquired by Salmonella spp., which poses a greater threat for rapid spread of fluoroquinolone resistance among enteric pathogens. Continuous surveillance of plasmids containing antimicrobial resistance genes is crucial for control of further spread of fluoroquinolone resistance.
