    Abstract Psoriasis has emerged as a systemic disease characterized by skin and joint manifestations as well as systemic inflammation and cardiovascular comorbidities. Many progresses have been made in the comprehension of the immunological mechanisms involved in the exacerbation of psoriatic plaques, and initial studies have investigated the mechanisms that lead to extracutaneous disease manifestations, including endothelial disfunction and cardiovascular disease. In the past decade, the involvement of gut dysbiosis in the development of pathologies with inflammatory and autoimmune basis has clearly emerged. More recently, a major role for the skin microbiota in establishing the immunological tolerance in early life and as a source of antigens leading to cross-reactive responses towards self-antigens in adult life has also been evidenced. Gut microbiota can indeed be involved in shaping the immune and inflammatory response at systemic level and in fueling inflammation in the cutaneous and vascular compartments. Here, we summarized the microbiota-mediated mechanisms that, in the skin and gut, may promote and modulate local or systemic inflammation involved in psoriatic disease and endothelial dysfunction. We also analyze the emerging strategies for correcting dysbiosis or modulating skin and gut microbiota composition to integrate systemically existing pharmacological therapies for psoriatic disease. The possibility of merging systemic treatment and tailored microbial modifying therapies could increase the efficacy of the current treatments and potentially lower the effect on patient's life quality.

    Abstract Purpose: In this case report we describe a surgical technique for scleral fixation of the Smaller-Incision New-Generation Implantable Miniature Telescope (SING-IMT). Using this surgical technique, patient's eye which receive surgery for the SING-IMT, could still have a safe SING IMT implant despite the anatomical conditions of the capsular bag or in cases of intraoperative complications.
    Methods: The surgery was performed at Policlinico A. Gemelli, Rome, Italy. The patient's eye underwent a first surgery for artificial intraocular lens (IOL) explant and SING-IMT implant at the same time. We observed SING IMT dislocation into the vitreous chamber 90 days after surgery. We therefore carried out a 23-gauge vitrectomy and after SING IMT recovery from the vitreous chamber, we fixed one of its haptic to the sclera using a 8.0 GoreTex suture.
    Conclusion: Scleral fixation of SING-IMT haptics might be useful in eyes with dislocated or not stable SING IMT. We believe that reporting our experience can help surgeons to fix SING IMT in complicated cases where a capsular bag rupture o disinsertion (like our case) can cause SING IMT decentration or worse its drop into the vitreous chamber. We speculate that GoreTex suture could assure firm fixation of the SING IMT and could reduce the risk of recurrent dislocations.

    Abstract Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an acquired thrombophilic disorder related to the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (LAC, anticardiolipin, anti Beta2-glycoprotein) known to cause venous and arterial thrombosis and recurrent pregnancy loss. Skin disorder is a frequent finding usually due to vascular thrombosis involving the dermal layer and can be either localized or widespread causing necrosis and ulceration of the skin, without histological evidence of vasculitis. We present a case of a woman with APS with both arterial and venous thrombotic involvement associated with an atypical dermatological manifestation histologically consistent with a pauci-inflammatory intermediate-deep dermal arteriolar platelet-mediated thrombosis that appeared despite anticoagulation with warfarin and responding to the addition of antiplatelet therapy.

    Abstract Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in women in the world, and its management includes a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, whose effectiveness depends largely, but not exclusively, on the molecular subtype (Luminal A, Luminal B, HER2+ and Triple Negative). All breast cancer subtypes are accompanied by peculiar and substantial changes in sphingolipid metabolism. Alterations in sphingolipid metabolite levels, such as ceramides, dihydroceramide, sphingosine, sphingosine-1-phosphate, and sphingomyelin, as well as in their biosynthetic and catabolic enzymatic pathways, have emerged as molecular mechanisms by which breast cancer cells grow, respond to or escape therapeutic interventions and could take on diagnostic and prognostic value. In this review, we summarize the current landscape around two main themes: 1. sphingolipid metabolites, enzymes and transport proteins that have been found dysregulated in human breast cancer cells and/or tissues; 2. sphingolipid-driven mechanisms that allow breast cancer cells to respond to or evade therapies. Having a complete picture of the impact of the sphingolipid metabolism in the development and progression of breast cancer may provide an effective means to improve and personalize treatments and reduce associated drug resistance.

    Abstract Benzoic acid (BA) and its derivatives are very attractive because of their pharmacological properties, such as antioxidant, radical-regulating, antiviral, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antifungal. Syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) and poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene)oxide (PPO) films exhibiting co-crystalline phases with BA were prepared and characterized by WAXD, FTIR and polarized FTIR measurements. The FTIR measurements clearly showed that BA was present mainly as a dimer in the crystalline channels of the ε form of sPS as well as in the α form of PPO, as generally occurs not only in the solid state but also in organic dilute solutions. BA was instead present as isolated molecules in the crystalline cavities of the δ form of sPS. In fact, the FTIR spectra of BA guest molecules exhibited vibrational peaks close to those of BA in its vapor phase. Hence, the nanoporous-crystalline δ form of sPS not only avoids additive aggregation but also leads to the separation of dimeric molecules and the segregation of monomeric BA.

    Abstract Films exhibiting nanoporous-crystalline (NC) phases of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene) oxide (PPO), which are highly effective to absorb apolar organic guest molecules, are also able to absorb polar molecules (like alcohols and carboxylic acids) but only from concentrated organic solutions. NC PPO films, which do not absorb alcohols and carboxylic acids from diluted aqueous solutions, exhibits a huge uptake (even above 30 wt %) of benzyl alcohol (BAL) and benzoic acid (BA), if BA is obtained by spontaneous room temperature oxidation of BAL in aqueous solution. This phenomenon is rationalized by an easy uptake, mainly by the PPO intrahelical crystalline empty channels, of a BAL/BA 1/1 hydrogen-bonded dimer. This huge uptake of BAL/BA dimer by NC PPO films, which is also fast for films exhibiting the orientation of the crystalline helices perpendicular to the film plane (c
