Reproductive performance is a complex quantitative trait, that is determined by multiple genes, regulatory pathways and environmental factors. A list of major genes with large effect have been detected, although multiple QTLs are identified. To identify candidate genes for pig prolificacy, whole genome variants from five high- and five low-prolificacy Yorkshire sows were collected using whole-genome resequencing. A total of 13,955,609 SNPs and 2,666,366 indels were detected across the genome. Common differential SNPs and indels were identified between the two groups of sows...

Central Mesh Failure (CMF) after abdominal wall repair (AWR) is uncommon but should be considered in case of recurrence. The mechanism is unclear and different theories are actually proposed, as the action of opposite forces acting in the abdominal wall on the prosthesis, and the characteristics of the device to be implanted. The use of lightweight meshes in some cases could be inadequate to withstand the bursting strenght of the abdominal wall. Three cases of incisional hernia recurrence due to central mesh failure are here reported...

Bone morphogenetic protein and activin membrane-bound inhibitor (BAMBI) gene encodes a transmembrane protein and is involved in multiple physiological and pathological processes, such as inflammatory response, tumor development and progression, cell proliferation and differentiation. A previous study suggested that BAMBI may interact with the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway via promoting β-catenin nuclear translocation associated with C2C12 myogenic myoblast differentiation. However, its biological function in skeletal muscle still remains unknown and requires further characterization...

microRNAs (miRNAs) have been revealed to participate in the pathological process of atherosclerosis (AS). However, the exact role of miR-338-3p, a target miRNA of BMP and activin membrane-bound inhibitor (BAMBI), and its possible molecular mechanism in AS remain unidentified. In this study, we found that BAMBI was significantly decreased, whereas miR-338-3p increased in patients with AS and oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced HUVEC cells. Furthermore, overexpression of miR-338-3p significantly decreased cell viability and elevated cell apoptosis, whereas its inhibition significantly promoted cell viability and inhibited cell apoptosis in ox-LDL-induced HUVEC cells...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Unplanned extubation (UE) in Intensive Care Units (ICU) is an indicator of quality and safety of care. UEs are classified in: accidental extubations, if involuntarily caused during nursing care or medical procedures; self-extubation, if determined by the patient him/herself. In scientific literature, the cumulative incidence of UEs varies from 0.3% to 35.8%. The aim of this study is to explore the incidence of UEs in an Italian university general ICU adopting a well-established protocol of tracheal tube nursing management and fixation...

BACKGROUND: Mechanical ventilation is often employed as partial ventilatory support where both the patient and the ventilator work together. The ventilator settings should be adjusted to maintain a harmonious patient-ventilator interaction. However, this balance is often altered by many factors able to generate a patient ventilator asynchrony (PVA). The aims of this review were: to identify PVAs, their typologies and classifications; to describe how and to what extent their occurrence can affect the patients' outcomes; to investigate the levels of nursing skill in detecting PVAs...

Tumor targeting by genetically modified mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) carrying anti-cancer molecules represents a promising cell-based strategy. We previously showed that the pro-apoptotic agent tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) can be successfully delivered by MSCs to cancer sites. While the interaction between TRAIL and its receptors is clear, more obscure is the way in which MSCs can selectively target tumors and their antigens. Several neuroectoderm-derived neoplasms, including glioblastoma (GBM), sarcomas, and neuroblastoma, express high levels of the tumor-associated antigen GD2...

INTRODUCTION: Meshes are commonly employed in abdominal hernia repair to reduce recurrence rates. Prosthetic repair, however, increases the risk of mesh related complications, including migration into adjacent viscera and erosion which can occur as uncommon and can be difficult to be diagnose. PRESENTATION OF CASE: This is a case of transmural migration of composite mesh into the bowel, presenting as chronic abdominal pain and anemia 14 years after incisional hernia repair...

Telomere deregulation is a hallmark of cancer. Telomere length measured in lymphocytes (LTL) has been shown to be a risk marker for several cancers. For pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) consensus is lacking whether risk is associated with long or short telomeres. Mendelian randomization approaches have shown that a score built from SNPs associated with LTL could be used as a robust risk marker. We explored this approach in a large scale study within the PANcreatic Disease ReseArch (PANDoRA) consortium...

In CD4+ T helper (Th) cells, transforming growth factor β (TGF‑β) is indispensable for the induction of both regulatory T (Treg) and interleukin‑17‑producing effector T helper (Th17) cells. Although BMP and activin membrane‑bound inhibitor (BAMBI) is part of a rheostat‑like mechanism for the regulation of TGF‑β signalling and autoimmune arthritis in mouse models, the underlying activity of BAMBI on the human Th17/Treg cell axis, particularly during exposure to cigarette smoke, remains to be elucidated...

Second-generation (2G) chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) targeting CD19 are highly active against B cell malignancies, but it is unknown whether any of the costimulatory domains incorporated in the CAR have superior activity to others. Because CD28 and 4-1BB signaling activate different pathways, combining them in a single third-generation (3G) CAR may overcome the limitations of each individual costimulatory domain. We designed a clinical trial in which two autologous CD19-specific CAR-transduced T cell products (CD19...
