Adaptation to hypoxia and consequent pro-inflammatory gene expression of prostate breast carcinomas have been implicated in the progression toward cancer malignant phenotype. Only partial data are available for human tumor glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The aim our study was analyze hypoxic microenvironment GBMs demonstrate that a stem/progenitor cell line derived from (GBM-SCs), activates coordinated inflammatory response, evidencing an invasive migratory phenotype.From each 10 solid...
Abstract A growing body of evidence consistently describes the side‐effects coronavirus disease 2019 lockdown on mental health and sleep quality. We conducted a longitudinal web‐based survey 217 Italian participants at two time points: subsequent follow‐up. To thoroughly investigate lockdown‐related changes in quality, we first evaluated variations overall quality assessed by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. then examined specific components Results revealed clear dissociation effects, as...
Internet addiction and its related variables (i.e., internet gaming addiction, social media fear of missing out, phubbing) have mostly been investigated in the general population without considering possible gender differences. The present study aimed to investigate specific characteristics men women development pathological behaviors addiction. A total 276 participants (of ages ranging from 18 30 years old) were recruited (46.7% males) responded online questionnaires on psychological...
Si bien existe un crecimiento en investigación sobre las redes sociales, es necesario señalar que asociaciones entre el abuso de estas plataformas, fenómeno del Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) o Miedo a perderse experiencias y la Vulnerabilidad línea han sido poco estudiadas. En ese sentido, esta tiene como objetivo proporcionar marco actitudes comportamientos relacionados con uso sociales jóvenes universitarios. Para ello, se realizó una muestra contó participación 306 estudiantes universitarios...
Internet addiction (IA) has mostly been investigated with the fear of missing out and difficulties in emotional regulation. The present study examined link between IA variables related to problematic social media use (i.e., out, addiction), together (dys)regulation personality traits, providing new insights an integrated assessment IA. In total, 397 participants, aged 18-35 years (M = 22.00; SD 3.83), were administered a set questionnaires pertaining IA, use, (dys)regulation, traits....
Micro/nanoplastics (MNPs), which are widely spread in the environment, have gained attention because of their ability to enter human body mainly through ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact, thus representing a serious health threat. Several studies reported presence MNPs lung tissue potential role MNP inhalation triggering fibrosis tumorigenesis. However, there is paucity knowledge regarding cellular response composed polyethylene (PE), one most common plastic pollutants biosphere. In...
Internet addiction (IA) and related behaviors, such as Gaming Disorder (IGD) social media (SMA), have gained increasing research attention. Studies show gender differences, with males more likely to develop gaming-related addictions females prone phubbing behaviors. This study aimed explore differences in behaviors a Spanish sample, the goal of identifying predictors gender-specific patterns IA.
Young people engage in a variety of behaviours that can have an impact on their health and safety, including driving road accidents, which represent major issue today. Emotions, particular emotional regulation (ER), interact significantly with key elements behaviour, such as risk perception, decision-making, attention. We carried out systematic review considering the presence association between (dys)regulation behaviour young adults (18–25 years). A total 1849 records were selected for...
Background: As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, since March 2020, Italian population was forced into lockdown to prevent spread virus. The restrictive measures imposed many organizations and workers work through online platforms no longer in-person. Smart working, enjoyed by some for its flexibility, affected several professional categories. purpose this study investigate whether there are differences in psychological variables related four groups categories (practitioners, managers,...
The rapid development of software applications and the increasing use Internet have raised many questions about impact this technology on lives adolescents, especially “digital natives.” advent social networks (SNs) restructures their relationships in various ways, affecting both adolescents’ mental health. present study aims to investigate uses dangers SNs according a sample 296 (166 female 130 male) Italian middle high schools adolescents (age range 13–18) build model how can turn out be...
The expression pattern of estrogen receptor (ER) isoforms in normal and tumor thyroid tissues is still controversial poor defined, therefore, a more detailed study the distribution these molecules needed. Most discrepancies might be due to methods utilized. We studied ER human papillary carcinoma (PTC), fine-needle aspiration biopsy-derived specimens, cells, using accurate techniques, such as laser-capture microdissection, real-time quantitative PCR, Western blot. Laser-capture...
Since graphene nanoparticles are attracting increasing interest in relation to medical applications, it is important understand their potential effects on humans. In the present study, we prepared oxide (GO) nanoribbons by oxidative unzipping of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and analyzed toxicity two human neuroblastoma cell lines. Neuroblastoma most common solid neoplasia children. The hallmark these tumors high number different clinical variables, ranging from highly metastatic,...
In this work, the authors prepared and characterized two different graphene oxides: one chemically synthesized (GO sample) other electrochemically (LiCl) ). Both samples were fully with atomic force microscopy (AFM), Raman Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies, X-ray photo electron spectroscopy (XPS), thermal analysis (TG/DTA), and<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"><mml:mi fontfamily="Gadugi">Z</mml:mi></mml:math>-potential.

Method: A total 675 participants, aged 18 to 54 (M = 22.73; SD 4.05), completed measures assessing addiction, social media Fear Missing Out, Gaming Disorder, Phubbing. Results: Significant...
Abstract BACKGROUND Recent studies have underlined the role of tumor cells in endogenous synthesis pro‐inflammatory molecules. We tested whether malignant progression prostate cancer was associated with activation a phenotype typical innate immune system. METHODS The expression set molecules involved tissue inflammation and repair measured by real‐time PCR Western blot analysis samples absence or slight presence detectable leukocyte infiltrate. Whole non‐tumor were analyzed addition to...
