Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesRole of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme and Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms in Cancer Anorexia-Cachexia SyndromeAriele Fabris, Paolo Biagioni, Tiziana Punzi et al.The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is a crucial connection between aberrant immune system activation, systemic inflammation and Cancer Anorexia-Cachexia Syndrome (CACS), a syndrome that culminates in hyper-activation of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Angiotensin directly up-regulates this pathway, while vitamin D down-regulates it indirectly through the insulin-like growth factor-1 pathway. We investigated the genetic predisposition towards CACS in a cancer population, examining Insertion/Deletion (I/D) … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 2 Aug 2012 · 9,563 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesFunctional Recovery of Upper Limb Post-Stroke: Mental Practice with Motor and Non-Motor ImageryAline Furtado Bastos, Beatriz Cantanhede Carrapatoso, Marco Orsini et al.Problem statement: Mental Practice (MP) with motor imagery consists of a method of training in which motor imagery is used to improve performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of MP with motor imagery on motor recovery of the paretic upper limb of post-stroke patients in comparison with MP with non-motor imagery. Approach: Four post-stroke patients … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2012 · 9,218 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesContact with Nature and Children’s Wellbeing in Educational SettingsGiuseppe Carrus, Sabine Pirchio, Ylenia Passiatore et al.Problem statement: The study explores the role of the spatial-physical features of the environment for the functioning of educational institutions. Previous research in the field of environmental psychology showed how physical characteristics of learning environments might be linked to positive or negative outcomes in terms of learning attitudes and behaviors. In particular, there is consistent empirical evidence showing that contact … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 26 Mar 2012 · 14,402 accessesView PDFCite

Contreras-Esquivel et al.Problem statement: This work reports the Penicillium citrinum ESS strain as a new source of inulinase (2,1-β-D fructanhydrolase, E.C. 3.2.1.7). Approach: The enzyme was produced in both, Solid-State (SSC) and Submerged Culture (SmC) using a basal medium added either with inulin or sucrose (5 gL-1). Results: The culture grew faster in SmC than in SSC with both carbon sources; however, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 13 Mar 2012 · 8,394 accessesView PDFCite
