Journal ArticleDOI
Vaccine hesitancy: An overview on parents' opinions about vaccination and possible reasons of vaccine refusal
Alessio Facciolà,Giuseppa Visalli,Annalisa Orlando,Maria Paola Bertuccio,Pasquale Spataro,Raffaele Squeri,Isa Picerno,Angela Di Pietro +7 more
TL;DR: Data analysis shows that parents are, theoretically, favourable towards vaccinations but have little knowledge of such practices, sometimes not being unaware of the types of vaccines administrated to their children, and that health education of parents is the cornerstone on which the public health should build the fight to the vaccine hesitancy and improve the vaccination coverages.
Journal Article
Evaluation of antiherpesvirus-1 and genotoxic activities of Helichrysum italicum extract.
Antonia Nostro,Cannatelli Ma,Andreana Marino,Isa Picerno,Francesco Pizzimenti,M. E. Scoglio,Pasquale Spataro +6 more
TL;DR: The antiherpes virus-1 and genotoxic activities of diethyl ether extract from flowering tops of Helichrysum italicum (Compositae) were investigated and showed significant antiviral activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multigenerational mitochondrial alterations in pneumocytes exposed to oil fly ash metals.
Angela Di Pietro,Giuseppa Visalli,Barbara Baluce,Rosanna T. Micale,Sebastiano La Maestra,Pasquale Spataro,Silvio De Flora +6 more
TL;DR: Fe and especially V were responsible for the observed mitochondrial alterations in pneumocytes exposed to OFA, and spread of mitochondrial dysfunctions to daughter cells is expected to amplify oxidative stress in the respiratory epithelium and to play an important role in the pathogenesis of respiratory diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxidative Protein Damage and Degradation in Lymphocytes from Patients Infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus
Giuseppe Piedimonte,Denise Guetard,Mauro Magnani,Dario Corsi,Isa Picerno,Pasquale Spataro,Laura D. Kramer,Maria Montroni,Guido Silvestri,Javier F. Torres Roca,Luc Montagnier +10 more
TL;DR: It is reported here that the mitogenic activation of T lymphocytes from human immunodeficiency virus-positive subjects involves perturbation of redox balance, as indicated by the increase in hydroethydine intracellular oxidation and manganese superoxide dismutase adaptive induction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Higher levels of oxidative DNA damage in cervical cells are correlated with the grade of dysplasia and HPV infection.
Giuseppa Visalli,Romana Riso,Alessio Facciolà,Placido Mondello,Carmela Caruso,Isa Picerno,Angela Di Pietro,Pasquale Spataro,Maria Paola Bertuccio +8 more
TL;DR: The authors' results showed greater oxidative damage in HPV‐related dysplastic cervical lesions compared to samples with normal cytology, especially in women with high‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, which could facilitate the integration of the virus, promoting HPV carcinogenesis.
