[ES]La presente comunicación aborda, en el ámbito de las enseñanzas del Derecho algunos aspectos problemáticos e indeseables que se producen como consecuencia de la incorporación de las TIC, en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de tal rama de conocimiento, poniéndolos de manifiesto. Con este trabajo se intenta hacer aflorar cuáles son los efectos indeseables que se producen y proponiendo correctores en su uso.

To identify the regions of recurrent copy number abnormality in osteosarcoma and their effect on gene expression, we performed an integrated genome-wide high-resolution array CGH (aCGH) and gene expression profiling analysis on 40 human OS tissues and 12 OS cell lines. This analysis identified several recurrent chromosome regions that contain genes that show a gene dosage effect on gene expression. A further search, performed on those genes that were over-expressed and localized in the frequently amplified chromosomal regions, greatly reduced the number of candidate genes while their characterization using gene ontology (GO) analysis suggests the importance of the deregulation of the G1-to-S phase in the development of the disease. We also identified frequent deletions on 3q in the vicinity of LSAMP and performed a fine mapping analysis of the breakpoints. We precisely mapped the breakpoints in several instances and demonstrated that the majority do not involve the LSAMP gene itself, and that they appear to form by a process of non-homologous end joining. In addition, aCGH analysis revealed frequent gains of IGF1R that were highly correlated with its protein level. Blockade of IGF1R in OS cell lines with high copy number gain led to growth inhibition suggesting that IGF1R may be a viable drug target in OS, particularly in patients with copy number driven overexpression of this receptor.

Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumours. Despite advances in surgical techniques, postoperative supportive care, radiation and adjuvant systemic therapy, the life expectancy of patients with high grade glioma has remained essentially poor. Furthermore differential diagnosis among astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas and oligoastrocytomas is very challenging and subject to inter-observer variability. The purpose of the research was: 1) to investigate a series of high grade and low grade gliomas at gene and protein (immunohistochemistry) levels to disclose possible genetic portraits of malignancy; 2) to verify the utility of Nogo-A, Olig-2 and synaptophysin in providing a correct histological diagnosis of oligodendroglioma and to investigate a possible complementary role in selecting the best areas suitable for detecting 1p/19q codeletion using FISH analysis; 3) to study the role of microRNA in high grade gliomas. In order to obtain these goals large series of brain tumors were studied with DNA microarrays, immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR The results demonstrated that: - Overexpression of IGFBP-2 and CDC20 is highly related to glioblastomas and their immunopositivity can be useful for the identification of glioblastoma in small biopsies. - Nogo-A is the most useful and specific marker in differentiating oigodendrogliomas from other gliomas. Furthermore, using a Nogo-A driven FISH analysis, it is possible to identify a larger number of 1p19q codeletions in gliomas. - microRNAs can be studied in paraffin embedded tissues better than in fresh tissues. A series of six microRNA, significatively deregulated in glioblastomas, may represent a genetic signature with prognostic and predictive value and could constitute candidates for novel anti-cancer therapeutics.

Nella presente analisi si è avuta l’eccezionale disponibilità di dati longitudinali su molti individui (6000studenti frequentanti le scuole superiori bolognesi). Per ottenere un modello che al meglio spiegasse e riproducesse l’andamento degli esiti scolastici (promozione alla classe successiva) tenendo conto del percorso scolastico nel tempo, si è scelto il modello a curva latente condizionato. La variabile risposta è combinazione lineare dell’esito di fine anno (Promosso/Non promosso); riassume, per ogni studente/anno scolastico, classe frequentata ed esito finale. Le variabili esplicative sono state selezionate tra le informazioni disponibili per gli individui. Vengono presentati alcuni dati aggregati, poi descritti i dati individuali che entreranno nel modello, evidenziando la composizione degli studenti. La prima fase è la stima del modello logistico, con specificazione delle criticità, che hanno indotto alla scelta successiva del modello dipendente dal tempo. Dopo la descrizione della metodologia principale utilizzata, la teoria del conditionalLCM, e la selezione degli indicatori di fitting, viene delineata la procedura di stima, e raggiunto il modello ottimale. Le variabili significative per spiegare l’andamento delle promozioni individuali nel tempo risultano: cittadinanza (italiani con risultati significativamente migliori degli stranieri), sesso (ragazze con percorso scolastico mediamente migliore dei ragazzi: la differenza risulta però significativa soltanto negli istituti tecnici e professionali), tipologia di scuola frequentata (studenti del liceo con risultati significativamente migliori di chi frequenta altri tipi di istituto). I risultati risultano fortemente dipendenti dai dati impiegati, specie riguardo al limite territoriale. Precedenti analisi evidenziavano una forte differenziazione dei risultati scolastici tra studenti del nord e del sud Italia, oltre che tra studenti dei comuni maggiormente popolati e studenti dei comuni di provincia. Sarebbe interessante disporre di dati individuali analoghi a quelli qui utilizzati, ma riferiti all’intero territorio nazionale, oppure ad un zona maggiormente vasta dell’Italia, onde saggiare l’entità dell’influenza sul percorso scolastico,ed in particolare sulla regolarità, della differenza territoriale.

The use of Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a platelet concentrate made of autogenous blood, is becoming use in the treatment of some orthopaedic diseases. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of PRP on articular cartilage defects in a rabbit model (10 subjects). Twenty osteochondral defects created in the femoropatellar groove, were in ten cases left untreated and in ten cases treated with autogenous PRP. PRP was obtained using a double centrifugation of the rabbit’s blood harvested before the operation. 30 days after the lesion was made in both knee, the left one in each rabbit was treated by a PRP injection, followed by other two injection at 45 and 60 days. Tissue specimens were assessed by macroscopic examination and histological evaluation, that showed a better healing of the lesions in the knee treated with PRP injections.
