We review how, starting from polymeric nanoparticles, to generate clusters of fractal morphology and to expand the entire space and interconnect to form gels, through either Brownian motion or intense shear-induced aggregation. In the case of Brownian motion-induced gelation, specific techniques developed to obtain uniform structure of gels under both reaction-limited and diffusion-limited cluster aggregation conditions have been described. In the case of intense shear-induced gelation as a newly developed technique, our focus is on its principle, theoretical development and advantages with respect to Brownian motion-induced gelation in practical applications. We consider gelation of both rigid and soft particles. As a physical process, the bonding between the particles within gels is owed to van der Waals attractions, thus being easily broken. However, in the case of soft particles that can coalesce upon contact, the coalescence can allow the particles to stick together forming permanent gels. In this case, the gel structure can be controlled by controlling the degree of coalescence. Techniques used to control the degree of coalescence have also been described.

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, inflammatory and degenerative disease of the central nervous system of unknown aetiology although well-defined evidence supports an autoimmune pathogenesis. So far, the exact mechanisms leading to autoimmune diseases are still only partially understood. We know that genetic, epigenetic, molecular, and cellular factors resulting in pathogenic inflammatory responses are certainly involved. Long non-coding RNAs(lncRNAs) are non-protein coding transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides that play an important role in both innate and acquired immunity, so there is great interest in lncRNAs involved in autoimmune diseases. The research on multiple sclerosis has been enriched with many studies on the molecular role of lncRNAs in the pathogenesis of the disease and their potential application as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers. In particular, many multiple sclerosis fields of research are based on the identification of lncRNAs as possible biomarkers able to predict the onset of the disease, its activity degree, its progression phase and the response to disease-modifying drugs. Last but not least, studies on lncRNAs can provide a new molecular target for new therapies, missing, so far, a cure for multiple sclerosis. While our knowledge on the role of lncRNA in multiple sclerosis has recently improved, further studies are required to better understand the specific role of lncRNAs in this neurological disease. In this review, we present the most recent studies on molecular characterization of lncRNAs in multiple sclerosis disorder discussing their clinical relevance as biomarkers for diagnosis and treatments.

Background: In dairy cows circulating non-esterified fatty acids(NEFA) increase early post-partum while liver and other tissues undergo adaptation to greater lipid metabolism, mainly regulated by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors(PPAR). PPAR are activated by fatty acids(FA), but it remains to be demonstrated that circulating NEFA or dietary FA activate bovine PPAR. We hypothesized that circulating NEFA and dietary FA activate PPAR in dairy ***: The dose-response activation of PPAR by NEFA or dietary FA was assessed using HP300 e digital dispenser and luciferase reporter in several bovine cell types. Cells were treated with blood plasma isolated from Jersey cows before and after parturition, NEFA isolated from the blood plasma, FA released from lipoproteins using milk lipoprotein lipase(LPL), and palmitic acid(C16:0). Effect on each PPAR isotype was assessed using specific synthetic ***: NEFA isolated from blood serum activate PPAR linearly up to ~ 4-fold at 400 μmol/L in MAC-T cells but had cytotoxic effect. Addition of albumin to the culture media decreases cytotoxic effects of NEFA but also PPAR activation by ~ 2-fold. Treating cells with serum from peripartum cows reveals that much of the PPAR activation can be explained by the amount of NEFA in the serum(R~2 = 0.91) and that the response to serum NEFA follows a quadratic tendency, with peak activation around 1.4 mmol/L. Analysis of PPAR activation by serum in MAC-T, BFH-12 and BPAEC cells revealed that most of the activation is explained by the activity of PPARδ and PPARγ, but not PPARα. Palmitic acid activated PPAR when added in culture media or blood serum but the activation was limited to PPARδ and PPARα and the response was nil in serum from post-partum cows. The addition of LPL to the serum increased > 1.5-fold PPAR ***: Our results support dose-dependent activation of PPAR by circulating NEFA in bovine, specifically δand γ isotypes.

斑岩型铜矿床是全球铜(Cu)、钼(Mo)和金(Au)资源的主要供应源,其形成过程受到多种地质因素的控制,尤其是岩浆的氧化性是当前研究的焦点.本文综合分析了全球范围内已发表的弧岩浆中钒(V)和钪(Sc)的比值(V/Sc)数据,并收集了V和Sc在矿物和硅酸盐熔体中的分配系数.通过探讨V/Sc比值与岩浆氧逸度(f O2)之间的相关性,评估了不同厚度弧地壳中岩浆的氧化性特征.研究结果表明,磁铁矿的分离结晶是降低残余岩浆的V/Sc比值的关键因素.此外,磁铁矿结晶开始时的镁值(Mg#)与岩浆氧化性呈现显著的正相关性.利用这一规律,进一步评估第四纪弧岩浆的氧化性,发现在地壳厚度超过20km的成熟岛弧和大陆弧中,岩浆随着地壳厚度的增加趋向于更高的氧逸度.这表明在这些环境中,石榴石和角闪石的地壳内分异作用增强了岩浆的氧化性;相比之下,地壳厚度小于20km的薄弧中的岩浆则可能由于更多的俯冲板片氧化性物质输入,展现出比厚弧岩浆更高的氧化性.这些发现表明,俯冲动力学和地壳厚度在决定弧岩浆氧化性及其形成斑岩型铜矿的能力方面起着至关重要的作用.高度氧化的原始弧岩浆由于在岩浆演化的早期阶段经历磁铁矿结晶,从而导致硫化物饱和,这一过程导致铜的早期亏损,因此不利于斑岩型铜矿的形成.相反,在厚弧中磁铁矿结晶被广泛抑制,使硫化物大量饱和出现在岩浆晚期阶段,因此更有利于保留演化岩浆中铜的成矿潜力.本研究深入探讨了地壳内分异作用和俯冲带物质输入对弧岩浆氧化性的双重影响,并基于V/Sc比值变化规律的系统研究,为斑岩型铜矿床的成矿潜力提供了新的地球化学指示.

We consider the Cauchy problem εu^″ε ＋ δu′ε ＋ Auε = 0, uε（0） = uo, u′ε（0） = ul, where ε 〉 0, δ 〉 0, H is a Hilbert space, and A is a self-adjoint linear non-negative operator on H with dense domain D（A）. We study the convergence of （uε） to the solution of the limit problem ,δu＇＋ Au = 0, u（0） = u0. For initial data （u0, u1） ∈ D（A1/2）× H, we prove global-in-time convergence with respect to strong topologies. Moreover, we estimate the convergence rate in the case where （u0, u1）∈ D（A3/2） ∈ D（A1/2）, and we show that this regularity requirement is sharp for our estimates. We give also an upper bound for ｜u′ε（t）｜ which does not depend on ε.

Chronic heart failure (CHF) represents a major and growing health problem, due to its high incidence and prevalence, its poor prognosis and its impact on health-care costs. Although CHF patients are mainly elderly, few studies were aimed at testing the efficacy of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in this population. The difficulty in CHF diagnosis among the elderly is related to different factors, such as: the frequent presence of co-morbidity conditions mimicking or masking heart failure signs and symptoms; the different diagnostic cut-offs of natriuretic peptides; and the need to correctly evaluate diastolic function in order to assess CHF with preserved ejection fraction. Furthermore,the therapy of elderly CHF patients has not beenwell defined, considering the few studies involving very aged patients and the absence of a therapeutic strategy demonstrated to improve prognosis of CHF patients with preserved ejection fraction. The aim of this review is to focus on the most recent issues concerning the diagnosis and therapy of elderly patients affected byCHF.
