Poliovirus (type 1, Mahoney) proteins were transported into the nuclei of HEp-2 cells, as demonstrated by means of electron microscopic autoradiography. Quantitative determinations of the proteins by electrophoresis showed that the relative amounts of precursor proteins (1a, 3b, 1b), of some of the intermediate polypeptides (3a, 3c, 5b, 2), and of one end product (VP1) were higher in the nucleus than in the cytoplasm. Other proteins (VPO, VP2, X, 4, 6a) were found in the same relative amounts in the nucleus as in the cytoplasm, whereas two proteins (VP3 and 6b) were excluded from the nucleus. The findings are discussed in view of the recently demonstrated inhibitory activity exerted by cytoplasmic extracts of poliovirus-infected cells on transcription in isolated nuclei of uninfected cells.

HTA & Pharmaceutical Economics Department, Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA), Rome, Italy.
Background: The authorization of new therapeutic indications for drugs already reimbursed by the Italian National Health Service (NHS) represents a matter of importance. This study aims to estimate the additional discount attributed to the extension of indications (EoIs) to explore the potential correlation between spending and negotiated discounts and to find specific factors (determinants) that impact on discount.
Methods: The study focused on drugs approved in Italy between 2003 and 2017 with at least four therapeutic indications, including the first approved and EoIs, with follow-up extended until 2021 to acquire all the information on the negotiation process that has been completed.

Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) is a brominated flame retardant, that is added, but not chemically bonded, to consumer products. HBCD is sold as a commercial-grade HBCD mixture containing three major stereoisomers: alpha (α), beta (β), and gamma (γ), with relative amounts of 12% for α-HBCD, 6% for β-HBCD, and 82% for γ-HBCD. HBCDs are widely measured in the environment and in biological matrices.

The elicitation of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) is a major goal of vaccine design for highly mutable pathogens, such as influenza, HIV, and coronavirus. Although many rational vaccine design strategies for eliciting bnAbs have been devised, their efficacies need to be evaluated in preclinical animal models and in clinical trials. To improve outcomes for such vaccines, it would be useful to develop methods that can predict vaccine efficacies against arbitrary pathogen variants.

Hearing loss in children can have a detrimental impact on their development, thus lowering the psychological well-being of parents. This study examined the amount of parental stress, learned helplessness, and perceived social support in mothers of children with hearing loss (MCHL) and mothers of typically developing children (MTDC), as well as the relationship between various possible contributing factors to parental stress such as learned helplessness and perceived social support. Three questionnaires measured parental stress (Parental Stress Scale; PSS), learned helplessness (Learned Helplessness Scale; LHS), and perceived social support (Perceived Social Support-Friends PSS-Fr and Perceived Social Support-Family PSS-Fa Scale) in 100 MCHL and 90 MTDC.
