    Abstract Background: Little is known about what happens when patients and caregivers are involved in an academic setting as co-teachers and how healthcare professionals approach a new model of partnership-based teaching. This study aimed to explore the learning and behavioural patterns of a group of healthcare professionals who were learning to teach with patients and caregivers as co-teachers in a post-graduate course.
    Methods: A focused ethnographic study involving 11 health professionals was conducted. Data were collected through participatory observation during the course, individual semi-structured interviews, and a follow-up focus group. Taxonomic analysis was performed.
    Results: Three categories were identified: 'group', 'role of narration' and 'applying co-teaching with patients and caregivers '. Specifically, heterogeneity, absence of hierarchies, and balanced relationships characterised the group dynamic and promoted partnership. Narration played a key role both in learning and in healthcare professionals' relationship with patients and caregivers and promoted emotional skills and self-awareness. Project planning and lessons simulations were essential aspects of the implementation process.
    Conclusions: This focused ethnography helped further understanding of the context of a specific project involving patients and caregivers as co-teachers in healthcare professional education. The development of emotional skills and self-awareness are the main learning patterns of co-teaching, and interprofessionalism and balanced relationships are the basis of the behavioural patterns. These patterns facilitated the involvement of patients and caregivers in health education.

    Abstract Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the long-term clinical efficacy of first-generation autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) technique for osteochondral lesions of the ankle joint.
    Methods: Eleven patients with symptomatic OLTs underwent ACI from December 1997 to October 2002. A total of 9 patients (5 men, 4 women, age 25.2 ± 6.3) were evaluated at baseline and at 1, 3, 10 years, and at final follow-up of minimum 20 years with AOFAS ankle-hindfoot score, NRS for pain, and with the Tegner score.
    Results: The AOFAS score improved significantly from the baseline value of 40.4 ± 19.8 to 82.7 ± 12.9 at the final follow-up (p < 0.0005). The NRS for pain improved significantly from 7.8 ± 0.7 at baseline to 4.8 ± 2.1 at the final follow-up (p < 0.0005). Moreover, the Tegner score underwent a modification from the pre-operative median value of 1 (range: 1-3) and from a pre-injury value of 5 (range: 3-7) to 3 (range: 2-4) at the final follow-up (p < 0.0005).
    Conclusions: ACI has proven to be an effective treatment option for patients suffering from OLTs, leading to a long-lasting clinical improvement even beyond 20 years of follow-up.

    Abstract Purpose: Regenerative techniques for articular cartilage lesions demonstrated heterogeneous clinical results. Several factors may influence the outcome, with sex being one of the most debated. This study aimed at quantifying the long-term influence of sex on the clinical outcome obtained with a regenerative procedure for knee chondral lesions.
    Methods: Matrix-assisted autologous chondrocyte transplantation (MACT) was used to treat 235 knees which were prospectively evaluated with the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), EuroQol visual analogue scale, and Tegner scores at 14-year mean follow-up. A multilevel analysis was performed with the IKDC subjective scores standardised according to the age/sex category of each patient and/or the selection of a match-paired subgroup to compare homogeneous men and women patients.
    Results: At 14 years, men and women showed a failure rate of 10.7% and 28.8%, respectively (p < 0.0005). An overall improvement was observed in both sexes. Women had more patellar lesions and men more condylar lesions (p = 0.001), and the latter also presented a higher preinjury activity level (p < 0.0005). Men had significantly higher IKDC subjective scores at all follow-ups (at 14 years: 77.2 ± 18.9 vs. 62.8 ± 23.1; p < 0.0005). However, the analysis of homogeneous match-paired populations of men and women, with standardised IKDC subjective scores, showed no differences between men and women (at 14 years: -1.6 ± 1.7 vs. -1.9 ± 1.6).
    Conclusion: Men and women treated with MACT for knee chondral lesions presented a significant improvement and stable long-term results. When both sexes are compared with homogeneous match-paired groups, they have similar results over time. However, women present more often unfavourable lesion patterns, which proved more challenging in terms of long-term outcome after MACT.

    Abstract During the process of its territorial dominion’s building, Florence faced the peculiarities of each subject town by implementing different strategic choices. In the case of the city of Pistoia the Florentine authorities were able to modulate specific interventions over time in order to manage and govern the territory. After a first period (1329-1376) in which a sort of political and military ‘protection’ was offered to the community of Pistoia —soon turned into a gradual erosion of political sovereignty— the formal institutionalization of city bipartisanship followed and helped to freeze the conflict between the factions, giving to Florence an easier control over city's political life. After the advent of the Medici regime the political dynamics of the parts of Pistoia were managed by the powerful Florentine family almost exclusively, so that after 1458 the bipartisan regime could in fact be abolished, coming finally in the Laurentian age to a real 'monopoly' of patronage. This third phase of the relationships between Florence and Pistoia, which ended at the dawn of the collapse of the Medici regime in 1494, left in Pistoia such a power void that the factional struggle broke out again even more bloody at the end of the century.

    Abstract Durante el proceso de expansión territorial y de construcción de un dominio a escala subregional, la ciudad de Florencia fue consciente de las especificidades locales de cada una de las comunidades sometidas y por ello llevó a cabo estrategias diferentes y opciones políticas diferentes. En el caso de la ciudad de Pistoia —no sometida formalmente hasta después de 1401, a decir verdad—, y de sus «malditas facciones», las autoridades florentinas fueron capaces de aplicar en el momento preciso diferentes políticas e instrumentos para la gestión y el gobierno del territorio. A un primer momento (1329-1376), cuando a la comunidad de Pistoia se le ofreció una especie de «protección» político-militar, que se tradujo de todas formas y enseguida en una progresiva erosión de la soberanía política (al menos desde la segunda mitad del siglo XIV), le siguió, después de 1376, la institucionalización formal del bipartidismo ciudadano, que contribuyó a enfriar el conflicto que existía entre las facciones de los Panciatichi y de los Cancellieri e hizo posible que Florencia ejerciera un mayor y ágil control de la vida política de Pistoia. Una vez instaurado el régimen mediceo y, de modo especial, a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XV, los Medicis comenzaron, mediante sus bien conocidas redes clientelares y de patronato, a controlar casi totalmente las dinámicas de las facciones de Pistoia, hasta tal punto que después del año 1458, el régimen bipartito pudo ser abolido de facto, alcanzándose, finalmente, en época de Lorenzo, un verdadero y auténtico ‘monopolio’ del patronato sobre las partes de Pistoia. Esta tercera fase de las relaciones entre Florencia y Pistoia, finalizada cuando se desmoronó el régimen mediceo en 1494, dejó en Pistoia un enorme vacío de poder que dio lugar a que la lucha de facción fuese cada vez más cruenta, volviéndose a producir los trágicos acontecimientos que ya a principios del siglo XV habían conducido a la decidida intervención de Florencia, ratificada por la sumisión de la ciudad de Pistoia, en el ...

    Abstract Il dominio territoriale fiorentino ha avuto in Guicciardini e Machiavelli alcuni dei suoi più illustri critici e teorizzatori. Quello che la più recente analisi storiografica ha cominciato ad indicare come ‘stato-contado’, trova nelle opere politiche maggiori dei due autori una trattazione per molti versi quasi antitetica: laddove Guicciardini sembra avallare la politica di dominio e di assoggettamento messa in atto attraverso il processo di espansione territoriale compiuto da Firenze a partire dalla metà del XIV secolo, Machiavelli cerca di prospettare un progetto politico alternativo, ispirato alla Roma liviana e alle coeve monarchie europee.

    Abstract Lentinula edodes (Shiitake) is one of the most heavily cultivated mushrooms in the world with proven antioxidant and antibacterial properties, among others. Evidence indicates that the choice of mushroom cultivation technique strongly influences the production of bioactive compounds, but to date the nature of many of these compounds has not been fully established. This work focuses on the proteomic characterization of L. edodes to highlight the main active processes two days after harvest and elucidates the proteins involved in the known antioxidant and antibacterial proprieties of Shiitake fruit bodies cultivated on oak logs. A label-free approach allowed us to identify a total of 2702 proteins which were mainly involved in carbohydrate and protein metabolism, cell growth and replication, indicating that several developmental processes remain active in fruit bodies post-harvest. Proteins with antioxidant activities were identified, indicating the contribution of proteins to the antioxidant properties of L. edodes extracts. Antibacterial assays also reveal the activity of a serine protease inhibitor that strongly accumulates in the post-harvest fruit body grown on oak logs. Overall, this study contributes to the understanding of the impact of the log cultivation method on the production of Shiitake mushrooms richest in high-value bioactive compounds.
