[Complex familiarity in autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome]

Autoimmune polyglandular syndromes (APS) are conditions characterized by the association of two or more endocrine and non-endocrine autoimmune disorders. Diabetes mellitus type 1 (T1DM) is one of the most frequent components of APS and is often its first symptom. The frequency of autoimmune pathologies in patients affected by T1DM is proportional to the persistance of ICA. Even in first relatives of these patients, an increase in incidence of latent or manifest autoimmune pathology is noticed. The association of T1DM with autoimmune thyroiditis and celiac disease in a girl from a family affected by high incidence of autoimmune pathology is described. The role of gluten in the pathogenesis of T1DM and some other auotoimmune conditions in genetically predisposed subjects. Infact studies are still inadeguate for demostrating how a gluten free diet could delay or mitigate the course of T1DM and of other autoimmune pathologies in genetically predisposed subjects. Nevertheless, it is suggested that gluten could represent a starting or a maintenance factor of autoimmune processes and the risk of autoimmune pathologies is proportional to the duration of the exposure to gluten. A screening for a quick singling out of autoimmune pathologies is suggested for T1DM patients, their first relatives and for subjects affected by other autoimmune diseases or celiac disease.

Mutations in the SOD1 gene cause the autosomal dominant, neurodegenerative disorder familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS). In spinal cord neurons of human FALS patients and in transgenic mice expressing these mutant proteins, aggregates containing FALS SOD1 are observed. Accumulation of SOD1 aggregates is believed to interfere with axonal transport, protein degradation and anti-apoptotic functions of the neuronal cellular machinery. Here we show that metal-deficient, pathogenic SOD1 mutant proteins crystallize in three different crystal forms, all of which reveal higher-order assemblies of aligned beta-sheets. Amyloid-like filaments and water-filled nanotubes arise through extensive interactions between loop and beta-barrel elements of neighboring mutant SOD1 molecules. In all cases, non-native conformational changes permit a gain of interaction between dimers that leads to higher-order arrays. Normal beta-sheet-containing proteins avoid such self-association by preventing their edge strands from making intermolecular interactions. Loss of this protection through conformational rearrangement in the metal-deficient enzyme could be a toxic property common to mutants of SOD1 linked to FALS.

The cognitive-orientation theory of anorexia nervosa.

The major goal was to explore the cognitive-motivational dynamics of anorexia in terms of the cognitive-orientation (CO) theory (Kreitler & Kreitler, 1982). CO is a comprehensive theory of behavior that assumes that behavior is a function of a cognitively shaped motivational disposition and performance. The study deals with the motivational disposition for anorexia. It focused on examining whether beliefs of four types (about self, goals, norms, and reality) concerning themes relevant for anorexia (defined in pretests) identify correctly anorectics. All participants were women 15 to 18 years old: 58 anorectics (35 restricting, 23 binge eating/purging) and 59 matched healthy controls. All were administered a background-information questionnaire and the CO-Anorexia questionnaire assessing beliefs about 30 themes. The results showed that the themes formed 5 clusters defined by foci, such as dissociation from reality, the body, drives or emotionality, and identified significantly the anorectics of each type and the healthy controls. A brief CO questionnaire was developed. Discussion centered on the similarity of the identified themes to some of those discussed by others, on the pathogeneity of the CO of anorexia, and on outlining a blueprint of a theory of anorexia. 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Prognostic significance of BRCA1 expression in sporadic breast carcinomas.

BRCA1 is a tumour suppresser gene frequently mutated in familial breast cancer and thought to influence the progression of sporadic breast cancer. Decreased BRCA1 mRNA and protein expression has been identified in breast cancer cell lines and sporadic breast tumours. Here the prognostic significance of reduced BRCA1 protein expression is investigated in primary operable breast cancer. Immunohistochemical analysis was used to determine the level of BRCA1 protein expression in 100 breast cancers. BRCA1 expression was compared with known prognostic factors and survival to investigate its prognostic significance. BRCA1 nuclear expression was reduced by varying amounts in breast carcinomas. A progressive loss of BRCA1 expression correlated well with higher histological grade (p = 0.002) and an excess of medullary/atypical medullary/grade 3 ductal carcinomas (p = 0.0001). When adjusted for grade, patients with loss of BRCA1 expression had a significantly longer disease-free survival time. Loss of BRCA1 expression associated with high-grade breast tumours suggests that BRCA1 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of sporadic breast cancer. 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Differential expression and function of A20 and TRAF1 in Hodgkin lymphoma and anaplastic large cell lymphoma and their induction by CD30 stimulation.

A20 and TRAF1 are two anti-apoptotic components of the intracellular signalling pathway of the tumour necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) family. Induction of apoptosis seems to be a main function of these receptors. It is astonishing that a member of this family, CD30, is overexpressed by highly proliferating tumours such as Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). It is known that CD30 stimulation leads to the apoptosis of ALCL tumour cells but not of Hodgkin-Reed-Sternberg (HRS) cells. We have already established the overexpression of TRAF1 in HRS cells. In this study we demonstrate that A20 is highly expressed in the HRS cells in 20/22 of cases of classical HL, in 4/4 cases of nodular lymphocyte-predominant HL (NLPHL), and in 2/2 cases of the anaplastic variant of diffuse large B cell lymphoma. In contrast, all other non-Hodgkin lymphomas, including ALCL, revealed either no A20 reactivity, or reactivity in less than 1% of all tumour cells. CD30 stimulation induced A20 and TRAF1 expression. This effect was most prominent in HL and ALCL cell lines with low basal expression levels of these molecules. Immunohistological studies of reactive lymphoid blasts in tonsillar tissue demonstrated that co-expression of CD30, A20, and TRAF1 also occurs in vivo. Cell lines with high basal A20 and TRAF1 expression were resistant to CD30-mediated apoptosis. The sensitivity to CD30-induced apoptosis was increased by inhibition of protein synthesis. TRAF1 transfection decreased CD30-induced apoptosis. Our data suggest that A20 and TRAF1 contribute to apoptosis resistance and, therefore, play an important role in the pathogenesis of classical HL. 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Loss of hair changes the appearance of a person, and the identity of the person in social context to a certain extent.
Hair growth is a complex biological process, which has not yet been completely understood. A multitude of therapeutic measures, including drugs, surgery, and suppelements have been made available, and used. However, due to the diversity of the problems underlying hair loss, there is no single solution for all hair loss cases. Most of chemical drugs and hair transplantation surgeries are not free from varying degrees of undesirable side effects on health.
Hair Million is an alternative solution to hair loss problems. Albeit only anecdotally, it has demonstrated efficacy in
the improvement for age-related hair thinning and hair loss for a significant fraction of people who take it
as recommended. We do not know the mechanisms of action as to how Hair Million works to help stop hair loss, and promote hair growth. We only know by
anecdotal observations. There has been no clinical trials nor placebo controlled statistical analysis.
