    Abstract Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA (MPS IIIA, Sanfilippo A) is a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder caused by the deficiency of sulphamidase enzyme (SGSH) leading to accumulation of heparan sulfate (HS). We quantitatively and structurally characterize primary stored HS and other glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) possibly accumulated through a secondary storage in brain, liver, kidney and lung of MPS IIIA mouse model. This analysis was also performed in MPS IIIA mice upon the intravenous treatment with an engineered human sulphamidase (chimeric hSGSH) capable to increase its secretion from the liver and to cross the blood-brain barrier. MPS IIIA animals showed a huge accumulation of HS, from ~15 up to ~24-times higher than wild type and also of hyaluronic acid (HA) (from 2.5 up to ~5.0-times more) and chondroitin sulfate (CS)/dermatan sulfate (DS) (from ~2 up to ~5-times more) in all studied organs. We also observed a significant increase in the overall HS charge density and in particular of 2-O-sulfation in MPS IIIA mice organs. 8 months after a systemic treatment with an engineered SGSH, the enzyme was highly efficient in the reduction of all accumulated GAGs in liver, brain and lung up to values of wild type mice. On the contrary, even if reduced, GAGs levels still remained significantly elevated in kidney. Overall data obtained by this detailed analysis of GAGs in the different organs of affected and treated animals with chimeric hSGSH may have implications for the evaluation of an effective therapeutic option of MPS IIIA and for the reduction of related neuropathology.

    Abstract Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis (PAM) is a rare disorder of unknown etiology affecting people at any age. It is characterized by multiple and microscopic calcium deposits diffusely localized within the alveoli. Thorax high-resolution computed tomography is considered the gold standard for PAM imaging. Herein we report for the first time the use of trans-thoracic ultrasound (TUS) examination in a young severely obese PAM female patient, diagnosed at the age of 10, and referred to our clinic for re-staging purposes at the age of 36. Unlike expected, no reverberation or additional artifacts were appreciated on TUS examination despite the severity of the interstitial/alveolar involvement seen on conventional CT imaging. To date, no ring-down or comet-tail artifacts were detected. The only TUS finding was an increased thickness and irregular profile, more evident in the dorsal lower lung regions, of the hyper-echoic pleural line. TUS has recently aroused increasing interest among clinicians and radiologists as a useful noninvasive diagnostic tool for studying pleuro-pulmonary diseases, including interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). The peculiarity of our case is represented by the discrepancy between TUS and CT findings. Further efforts to address the usefulness and US patterns in diffuse ILDs, with the inclusion of rare disorders, are needed.

    Abstract A study of the three-dimensional excitation-emission fluorescence matrix (EEFM) of organic matter from the Amazon basin rivers is reported in this paper. The EEFM, applied to the fractions obtained from sequential tangential ultrafiltration (STUF), give spectroscopic informations on the fluorescent properties of particulate (>0.22 microm), colloidal and dissolved (< 5 kD) organic matter. STUF process does not seem to alter the characteristic peaks position of humic material. Two characteristic excitation-emission peaks were observed in all fractions of the samples investigated, one stimulated by UV excitation (peak A) and one by visible excitation (peak C). Increasing the pH, fluorescence intensities of the fluorophores A and C, respectively, I(A) and I(C), responded in the same manner to pH, increasing with increasing pH. However, the fluorophore A seems more sensitive to this pH variation because its fluorescence intensity enhancement is always higher. Thus the chemical behaviour of the two fluorophores must be somewhat differentiated. The evolution of the I(A)/I(C) ratio with pH is studied for all samples. This investigation showed a linear relation between I(A)/I(C) and pH. Moreover, this behaviour is water type (black or white) and molecular size independent. Indeed, this linear relationship is observed for all samples and all fractions.

    Abstract The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of UV-visible irradiation on organic carbon concentration, fluorescence intensity and metal transport ability of the natural organic matter (NOM) at fixed pH values and under several types of atmosphere (air, N(2), O(2)). The water samples were obtained from various sampling sites along the Rio Negro (Amazon basin) and the NOM metal transport ability was determined with regard to Cu(2+). As a first step we measured the concentration of total organic carbon (TOC) and its fluorescence intensity before and after an irradiation for a given time. The results demonstrated that when photodegradation happened, the dominant reactions involved O(2) and the fluorescent sites were among the first to be altered. Then we determined by spectrofluorometry the complexing capacity (C(L)) before and after irradiation. Fluorescence and complexing site densities (C(L)/TOC ratio) increased after a short irradiation time (20 min, i.e. before the photodegradation happened) and decreased after longer irradiation times. Therefore, we conclude that a change of the macromolecular structure activates previously inactive fluorophores and complexing sites prior to photodegradation.

    Abstract Total mercury (Hg(T)) determination requires the addition of concentrated hydrochloric acid solution (≥10 mol L(-1) HCl) in relatively high amounts to preserve the samples and to prepare reagent solutions. A method for the preparation of concentrated HCl with Hg(T) concentration of lower than 5 ng L(-1) is described in this article. It is based on the well-known chemical reaction: 2 NH(4)Cl + H(2)SO(4) → (NH(4))(2)SO(4) + 2 HCl. This method is validated thanks to the US Environmental Protection Agency method 1631 and standard reference materials BCR-579 (mercury in coastal seawater).

    Abstract A 67-year-old dialysis-dependent man presented to the cardiology service with worsening high output cardiac failure and was found to have a harsh, right-sided abdominal bruit on examination. Of significance, he had undergone several laparotomies related to a stab wound experienced 7 years earlier. A computed tomography scan revealed right renal artery pseudoaneurysms with fistulous communication to the vena cava. Successful percutaneous coil embolization and cyanoacrylate gluing enabled fistula closure without renal infarction. Symptoms of cardiac failure ultimately resolved following treatment. Catheter-based therapies provide minimally invasive and effective strategies for treating complicated fistulas involving the renal vasculature.
