    Abstract Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) is a disease that affects the optical nerve, causing visual loss. The diagnosis of LHON is mostly defined by the identification of three pathogenic variants in the mitochondrial DNA. Idebenone is widely used to treat LHON patients, but only some of them are responders to treatment. In our study, we assessed the maximal respiration rate (MRR) and other respiratory parameters in eight fibroblast lines from subjects carrying LHON pathogenic variants. We measured also the effects of idebenone treatment on cell growth and mtDNA amounts. Results showed that LHON fibroblasts had significantly reduced respiratory parameters in untreated conditions, but no significant gain in MRR after idebenone supplementation. No major toxicity toward mitochondrial function and no relevant compensatory effect in terms of mtDNA quantity were found for the treatment at the tested conditions. Our findings confirmed that fibroblasts from subjects harboring LHON pathogenic variants displayed impaired respiration, regardless of the disease penetrance and severity. Testing responsiveness to idebenone treatment in cultured cells did not fully recapitulate in vivo data. The in-depth evaluation of cellular respiration in fibroblasts is a good approach to evaluating novel mtDNA variants associated with LHON but needs further evaluation as a potential biomarker for disease prognosis and treatment responsiveness.

    Abstract A 16-year-old boy was evaluated for a history of exercise-induced fatigability associated with nausea even after minimal effort, lower limbs muscle hypotrophy, and swelling of the masseter muscles after chewing. Laboratory tests were remarkable for hyperlactatemia and metabolic acidosis after short physical activity. The muscle biopsy showed non-specific mitochondrial alterations and an increase in intrafibral lipids. Biochemical analysis showed reduced activity of the respiratory chain complexes. Mitochondrial DNA sequencing revealed the presence of a homoplasmic variant m.15992A>T in the MT-TP gene, coding for the mt-tRNA

    Abstract Martorell ulcer (MU) is a rare complication of arterial hypertension. It was first described in 1945 by the Spanish cardiologist Fernando Martorell, who reported 4 clinical cases [1]. A few cases of MU have been treated with pharmacological sympathectomy [2]. Here we report another small group of cases of MU treated in this manner. Sixteen patients with MU, aged 69 to 92 years, were selected. A precise diagnosis of MU was made by checking the Martorell diagnostic inclusion criteria: anterolateral site in the lower third of the leg, diastolic hypertension in the lower third of the leg, hyperpulsation of the arteries of the leg, absence of arterial calcification and other causes of the ulcer, possible presence of symmetrical lesions and stronger pain in the horizontal position [1].

    Abstract Background and aim: failed back surgery syndrome is one of the most important causes of chronic low back pain that involve the physiology of autonomic nervous system factors. Some genetic and molecular factor can be determinant in the development of failed back surgery syndrome and novel therapy are needed. Pulsed radiofrequency treatment could be an innovative treatment option for this syndrome.
    Methods: 44 patients classified with failed back surgery syndrome from the Poliambulanza Foundation Hospital of Brescia patients were treated with standard therapy for six months; 9 of these patients who showed no improvement were candidates for pulsed radiofrequency therapy for three months.
    Results and conclusions: reduction of lumbar and radicular pain, disability and number of drug classes prescribed improved significantly (p <0.001) in patients treated with pulsed radiofrequency compared to whom that follow only the standard therapy. The role of the nervous system is important for understanding how pulsed radiofrequency can improve the health of patients with back pain. We suggest that some genetic and molecular studies are needed for better understand the role of this therapy in back pain.

    Abstract Atrial septal defect is a persistent interatrial communication. It is the second most common congenital heart defect and is detected in 1:1500 live births. Clinical course is variable and depends on the size of the malformation. Clinical diagnosis is based on patient history, physical and instrumental examination. Atrial septal defect is frequently sporadic, but familial cases have been reported. The disease has autosomal dominant inheritance with reduced penetrance, variable expressivity and genetic heterogeneity. Supravalvular aortic stenosis is a congenital narrowing of the lumen of the ascending aorta. It has an incidence of 1:20000 newborns and a prevalence of 1:7500. Clinical diagnosis is based on patient history, physical and instrumental examination. Supravalvular aortic stenosis is either sporadic or familial and has autosomal dominant inheritance with reduced penetrance and variable expressivity. It is associated with mutations in the ELN gene. Syndromes predisposing to aneurysm of large vessels is a group of inherited disorders that may affect different segments of the aorta. They may occur in isolation or associated with other genetic syndromes. Clinical symptoms are highly variable. Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection accounts for ~20% of all cases of aneurysms. The exact prevalence is unknown. Clinical diagnosis is based on medical history, physical and instrumental examination. Genetic testing is useful for confirming diagnosis of these syndromes and for differential diagnosis, recurrence risk evaluation and prenatal diagnosis in families with a known mutation. Most syndromes predisposing to aneurysm of large vessels have autosomal dominant inheritance with reduced penetrance and variable expressivity.
