Hospital anxiety and depression
TL;DR: The presence of a number of depressive symptoms into a hospitalized population is found, known that detecting such symptoms is important for protection and care of depressive disorders in hospitalized and non-hospitalized populations.
Autoantibodies from Sjögren's syndrome induce activation of both the intrinsic and extrinsic apoptotic pathways in human salivary gland cell line A-253
Margherita Sisto,Sabrina Lisi,Donatello Castellana,P. Scagliusi,Massimo D'Amore,S. Caprio,A. Scagliusi,A. Acquafredda,Maria Antonietta Panaro,Vincenzo Mitolo +9 more
TL;DR: Whether autoantibodies contained in IgG purified from Sjögren sera trigger apoptotic process in an experimental model represented by the human salivary gland cell line A-253 is explored to define if the intrinsic or extrinsic pathways are activated.

Sjögren's syndrome autoantibodies provoke changes in gene expression profiles of inflammatory cytokines triggering a pathway involving TACE/NF-κB
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that SS Abs exert their pathogenic effects via triggering the TACE/TNF-α/NF-κB axis and transfection with dominant-negative IκB-α in anti-Ro/SSA-treated SGEC determined a marked reduction of proinflammatory cytokines gene expression.

A failure of TNFAIP3 negative regulation maintains sustained NF-κB activation in Sjögren’s syndrome
Margherita Sisto,Sabrina Lisi,Dario Domenico Lofrumento,Giuseppe Ingravallo,Eugenio Maiorano,Massimo D'Amore +5 more
TL;DR: The silencing of TNFAIP3 by its siRNA in healthy SGEC increased NF-κB activation that could explain the deregulated cytokines production observed in SS.

Proposing a relationship between Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis infection and Hashimoto's thyroiditis
TL;DR: A MAP species-specific polymerase chain reaction with the insertion element IS900-specific probe is used to detect MAP infection in members of the same family suffering from Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
