Abstract	Background: Demonstration that the heart is not a post-mitotic organ has led to clinical trials trying to obtain myocardial repair even in patients with heart failure. Aim of the study: To evaluate as a less invasive method for promoting cardiac repair. Methods: Thirteen patients with ischemic heart failure in NYHA and/or CCS classes ≥ 3 unsuitable for revascularization received G-CSF, as a compassionate use, in addition to optimal medical therapy. Symptoms and cardiac perfusion by gated-SPECT were assessed at baseline and at 4 month follow up. Results: G-CSF was generally well tolerated. NYHA and CCS classes improved significantly from 3 (IR 2.5-3) to 2 (IR 1-2.5) (p = 0.012) and from 3 (IR 1-3) to 1 (IR 1-2) (p = 0.033). Heart failure severity symptoms according to the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire scores exhibited a non significant improvement from 52 ± 27 to 39 ± 26 (p = 0.15). At the Seattle Angina Questionnaire scores (ranging from 0 to 100, higher scores indicating better status), physical limitation improved from 39 ± 31 to 64 ± 29 (p = 0.03), angina stability from 42 ± 29 to 64 ± 28 (p = 0.05), angina frequency from 53 ± 33 to 73 ± 26 (p = 0.04), treatment satisfaction from 67 ± 29 to 83 ± 21 (p = 0.07), disease perception from 37 ± 29 to 66 ± 26 (p = 0.007). Quality of life assessed by a Visual Analogue Scale improved from 33 ± 24 to 64 ± 20 mm (p = 0.003). Stress and differential regional perfusion scores improved significantly from 1.78 ± 1.38 to 1.66 ± 1.38 (p = 0.05) and from 0.35 ± 0.68 to 0.23 ± 0.53 (p = 0.02) respectively. Conclusions: In patients with ischemic heart failure unsuitable for revascularization, G-CSF is associated to a significant improvement of symptoms, possibly reducing stress-induced ischemia.

Abstract	Background: Several reports showed an increase of CD34(+) stem/progenitor cell count early after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), suggesting a contribution of bone marrow cells in myocardial regeneration after the acute event. Nevertheless, at present plasma mediators of CD34(+) cell mobilization from bone marrow to peripheral blood in patients with AMI are poorly understood. Aim of our study was to establish the impact of different well-known mobilizing cytokines on spontaneous stem cell mobilization in patients with different ischemic heart syndromes, such as the AMI and the chronic stable angina (CSA), compared to healthy controls. Methods: In 16 patients with AMI, 18 with CSA and 22 healthy blood donors the concentration of CD34(+) cells, and mobilizing cyokines (G-CSF, SCF, VEGF, SDF1-alpha) were assessed. Results: The peak number of circulating CD34(+) cells in AMI patients (8.58+/-2.08 cells/microl) was higher than that observed in patients with CSA (3.41+/-0.56 cells/microl, p=0.0061) or in healthy controls (2.18+/-0.35 cells/microl, p<0.001). However endogenous G-CSF was significantly higher in the serum of patients with AMI compared to CSA patients and to controls and in CSA patients compared to controls. Interestingly, as regards VEGF, while this cytokine was increased in AMI with respect to control and CSA group, the latter showed a significantly lower concentration with respect to controls. Finally SDF-1 alpha was higher in AMI patients with respect to controls. CD34(+) cells were significantly correlated to G-CSF (directly) and to SCF (inversely) in patients with AMI. Conclusion: In the present study, we have demonstrated for the first time that the spontaneous mobilization of CD34(+) cells into the peripheral blood of patients with AMI is significantly correlated to endogenous G-CSF. Considering recent data suggesting a potential favourable effect of circulating CD34(+) cells on left ventricular function, the present evidence of a correlation between endogenous G-CSF and CD34(+) cell levels supports the pharmacological administration of G-CSF as a non-invasive option for regeneration of myocardial tissue after AMI.

Abstract	Fish invasions threaten native freshwater ecosystems worldwide, yet methods to map biodiversity in data-deficient regions are scarce. Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and brown trout (Salmo trutta fario) have been introduced to the Himalayan ecoregion where they are sympatric with vulnerable native snow trout Schizothorax plagiostomus and Schizothorax richardsonii. We aim to evaluate potential habitat overlap among snow trout and non-native trout in the Indus and Ganges River basins, Himalayan ecoregion. We transferred maximum entropy (MaxEnt) models developed with spatially continuous freshwater-specific environmental variables to map the distribution of potentially suitable habitats for rainbow and brown trout in the Himalayas. We adopted a similar procedure to map suitable habitats for snow trout species. There were substantial habitat overlaps (up to 96%) among snow trout and non-native trout. Yet, the physiography of receiving basins could play a role minimizing the impacts of each non-native trout on native snow trout. We generate high-resolution classified stream suitability maps as decision support tools to help managers in habitat allocation and policy formation to balance recreational fisheries with conservation of snow trout. Our workflow can be transferred to other basins and species for mapping freshwater biodiversity patterns in species-rich yet data-poor regions of the world.

Abstract	The past century has seen dramatic increases in global temperatures and mounting urbanization. As a result of these events, the urban heat island (UHI) effect has received growing attention in scientific research worldwide. A global search was initially conducted using a scientific literature database to collect all available relevant publications to understand how the UHI has been expanding worldwide and affecting more cities across different latitudes and altitudes. Subsequently, a semantic analysis was performed to extract city names. The literature search and analysis combined resulted in 6078 publications in which UHI was investigated in 1726 cities worldwide in the 1901 to 2022 time period. The cities were grouped into 'first appearance' and 'recurrent appearance'. Results show that UHI was studied in only 134 cities during the 90-year period from 1901 to 1992, with a remarkable growth over time in the number of cities where interest in UHI increased. Interestingly, the number of first appearances was always notably higher than the number of recurrent appearances. The Shannon evenness index was employed to identify the spatial locations (hotspots) across the globe where UHI-related research has been concentrated in multiple cities over the last 120 years. Finally, Europe was selected as a testbed for conducting an analysis to shed light on how economic, demographic, and environmental factors can impact UHI. Our study is unique for having demonstrated not only the rapid growth of cities affected by UHI globally but also the increasing and unrelenting expansion of UHI occurrences across different latitudes and altitudes over time. These novel findings will undoubtedly be of interest to scientists investigating the UHI phenomenon and its trends. Stakeholders will acquire a broader perspective and deeper understanding of UHI in order to engage in more effective urban planning to offset and mitigate the phenomenon's adverse effects in the context of increasing climate change and urbanization.

Abstract	The beneficial effect of exposure to nature and immersion in natural environments on perceived well-being is well established. Nevertheless, we acknowledge an emerging need to disentangle the role of specific environmental features from individual factors that encourage a positive person-environment interaction. This study aimed at evaluating the associations between four buffer distances of greenness and dimensions of perceived restorativeness, with connectedness towards nature (CTN) as a confounder variable, in a sample of 312 visitors to a large urban park. Variables investigating ecosystem services (ES, e.g., thermal comfort) were included as covariates. Results revealed differentiated effects of greenness level, sunlight intensity, and connectedness to nature in the pathways towards dimensions of restorativeness. Greenness level at 300 m was associated with Fascination, Scope, and Being Away, while at 500 m was associated with Coherence, Scope, and Being Away. ES was found to be associated with Coherence, while CTN with the other three dimensions of restorativeness. The moderating effect of sunlight level in the relationship between NDVI buffer distances and the total score of perceived restorativeness was also confirmed. The present work is intended to offer insights on the interplay between environmental features and individual differences for implications in several contexts, including the opportunity to develop tailor-made planning for urban forestry.

Abstract	Eggs can represent a food susceptible to contamination, with bioaccumulation potential for POPs. The Province of Taranto, Southern Italy, is of particular relevance in this context because of the presence of industrial sources of PCDD/Fs and PCBs. The aim of this study was to analyze and report the levels of these contaminants in hen eggs sampled in farms located within a radius of 20 km from the industrial area of Taranto. Between 2013 and 2021, 227 hen eggs were collected, according to a special monitoring plan of the Prevention Department. Samples were analyzed by the National Reference Laboratory for Halogenated POPs in Feed and Food. Median (IQR) values were: 0.28 (0.59) pg WHO-TEQ/g fat for PCDD/Fs, 0.89 (1.70) pg WHO-TEQ/g fat for PCDD/Fs + DL-PCBs, 0.57 (1.16) pg WHO-TEQ/g fat for DL-PCBs, 2.24 (5.51) ng/g fat for NDL-PCBs.

Median (IQR) values were: 0.28 (0.59) pg WHO-TEQ/g fat for PCDD/Fs, 0.89 (1.70) pg WHO-TEQ/g fat for PCDD/Fs + DL-PCBs, 0.57 (1.16) pg WHO-TEQ/g fat for DL-PCBs, 2.24 (5.51) ng/g fat for NDL-PCBs. Samples not-compliant (Reg. 1881/2006/EC and amendments) for at least one contaminant were 17 (7.5%). No contaminants values or exceedances showed a statistically significant correlation with distance from industrial area (p > 0.05). Higher PCDD/Fs values were observed in first and second quarters (p < 0.05). All contaminants’ values pairwise combinations showed significant (p < 0.0001) strong (ρ > 0.7) correlation. According to our epidemiological investigations, the exceedances are to be attributed to factors mainly related to farmers’ wrong habits. These results confirmed the importance of the monitoring of contaminants’ levels in the matrices at risk as well as to focus on enhancing good management practices on eggs-producing farms.

Abstract	The presence of green spaces has been associated with improved physical health and better mental health and wellbeing. In contrast, the presence of gray features including build-up areas might have a negative impact on the health and wellbeing of citizens. To date, the available evidence on the health effects of green and gray spaces have mainly relied on 2-dimensional (2D) indicators of these spaces such as land use maps or, more recently, satellite derived indices (e.g., green space indices such as normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) or gray space indices such as imperviousness). Although they are acceptable proxies of these exposures, 2D indicators could have inaccuracies when characterizing diverse set of vegetation types in combination with different types of gray spaces, which is typical of urban environments. To overcome this gap, we developed a set of three-dimensional (3D) indicators derived mainly from airborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) acquired in 2008 and 2010 over the metropolitan area of Rome (Italy). In particular, we extracted volume of green features such as shrubs and trees (Green volume [m3/ha]), volume of buildings (Gray volume[m3/ha]), a novel index called Normalized Difference Green-Gray Volume index (NDGG) as well as indicators of the tree count. We compared the 3D indicators with two widely used 2D indicators for characterizing green and gray spaces (i.e., NDVI and imperviousness) in different buffers around 79140 address points in the city. For the green indicators, we found that the Pearson correlations between NDVI and Green Volume were 0.47 (50 m buffer) and 0.33 (300 m buffer) while the correlations between NDVI and number of trees were 0.56 (50 m buffer) and 0.58 (300 m buffer). For gray indicators, the correlations between imperviousness and gray volume were 0.62 (50 m buffer) and 0.79 (300 m buffer). For NDGG, the correlations were higher with both NDVI (0.76 and 0.83 for 50 m and 300 m buffers) and imperviousness (−0.75 and −0.83 for 50 m and 300 m buffers). Our results showed that the use of 3D indicators can have potential benefits, especially regarding green features which can be highly heterogeneous in complex urban landscapes such as the city of Rome.

Abstract	Background: Evidence available on the associations between urban greenness and mental health is mainly based on cross-sectional studies and has relied on 2D indicators of greenness. This longitudinal study aimed at investigating the association between 2D and 3D indicators of green and grey spaces and incident mental health-related outcomes in a large population-based cohort. Methods: Our study used data from 593,894 Italian adults (≥30 years) from the Rome Longitudinal Study. Mental health outcomes were defined using either drug prescriptions (antidepressants, antipsychotics, lithium and other mood stabilisers, and anxiolytics, hypnotics and sedatives), or hospitalisation records (for schizophrenia spectrum disorder, depression, anxiety, stress-related and somatoform, or substance use disorders). We obtained 2D and 3D indicators of green and grey exposures including Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), green volume, grey volume, number of trees, and Normalized Difference Green-Grey Volume Index around participants' homes. Cox proportional hazards regression models were developed to estimate the association of green and grey space exposure and psychiatric conditions and medicine use, adjusted for relevant covariates. Results: We found beneficial associations of NDVI and the number of trees with antipsychotic and lithium and other mood stabiliser drugs. We also observed detrimental associations between grey volume and lithium and other mood stabilisers and anxiolytic, hypnotic and sedative drugs. Finally, we found a protective association of the NDGG with lithium and other mood stabilisers (HR: 0.977; 95% CI: 0.965-0.990) and anxiolytic, hypnotic and sedative drugs (HR: 0.851; 95% CI: 0.762-0.950). The associations for hospitalisation for psychiatric conditions were less consistent and generally not statistically significant. Conclusions: Findings suggested that higher greenness areas around residential addresses are associated with reduced use of drugs for psychiatric conditions, while the opposite is true for higher grey space exposure. The study highlights the importance of accurately characterising green and grey spaces, using novel exposure indicators.
