The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in the inflammatory profile of young (<or=40 years) systemically healthy periodontal patients comparing chronic (CP) versus aggressive periodontitis (AP) in terms of cytokines, chemokines and C-reactive protein levels.<br/><br/>Francesco Cairo, Michele Nieri, Anna Maria Gori, Paolo Tonelli, Roberto Branchi, Sergio Castellani, Rosanna Abbate, Giovan Paolo Pini-Prato (2010) <i>Eur J Oral Implantol</i> <i></i> <i></i> 3: 2 147-153<br/>

The aim of the present explorative cross-sectional study was to evaluate the potential role of some periodontal variables in predicting sub-clinical atherosclerosis and systemic inflammation in young adults (<or=40 years) with severe periodontitis compared with healthy individuals without periodontitis.<br/><br/>Francesco Cairo, Michele Nieri, Anna Maria Gori, Roberto Rotundo, Sergio Castellani, Rosanna Abbate, Giovan Paolo Pini-Prato (2009) <i>Eur J Oral Implantol</i> <i></i> <i></i> 2: 2 125-133<br/>

The clinical usefulness of noninvasive measurement of carotid intima media thickness and plaque visualization in the general population is still uncertain.<br/><br/>Patrizio Prati, Alberto Tosetto, Diego Vanuzzo, Giovanni Bader, Marco Casaroli, Luigi Canciani, Sergio Castellani, Pierre-Jean Touboul (2008) <i>Stroke</i> <i></i> <i></i> 39: 9 2470-2476<br/>

Advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs), including Nepsilon-(carboxymethyl)lysine-protein adducts (CML) are involved in micro/macrovascular changes and are co-localized with adhesion molecules in inflamed tissues. Serum levels of CML were investigated in systemic sclerosis (SSc) characterized by microvascular modifications and correlated with indices of micro/macrovascular damage.<br/><br/>O Kaloudi, G Basta, F Perfetto, F Bartoli, A Del Rosso, I Miniati, M L Conforti, S Generini, S Guiducci, R Abbate, A Pignone, S Castellani, R Livi, R De Caterina, M Matucci-Cerinic (2007) <i>Rheumatology (Oxford)</i> <i></i> <i></i> 46: 3 412-416<br/>

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by microvascular and macrovascular alterations. The D allele of the ACE I/D polymorphism is known to be associated with an increased incidence of atherosclerosis and has been recently proposed as associated with increased risk of SSc. This study evaluates the relationship between intima-media thickness (IMT), ankle-brachial pressure measurements (ABPI) and...<br/><br/>F Bartoli, C Angotti, C Fatini, M L Conforti, S Guiducci, J Blagojevic, D Melchiorre, G Fiori, S Generini, N Damjanov, S Rednic, A Pignone, S Castellani, R Abbate, M Matucci Cerinic (2007) <i>Rheumatology (Oxford)</i> <i></i> <i></i> 46: 5 772-775<br/>

Increased evidence suggests an accelerated macrovascular disease in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Brachial artery flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) are two indicators of subclinic cardiovascular disease and are frequently used as surrogate measures of subclinic atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate macrovascular involvement in SSc. We studied 35...<br/><br/>Francesca Bartoli, Jelena Blagojevic, Marzia Bacci, Ginevra Fiori, Alessio Tempestini, Maria Letizia Conforti, Serena Guiducci, Irene Miniati, Mauro Di Chicco, Angela Del Rosso, Federico Perfetto, Sergio Castellani, Alberto Pignone, Marco Matucci Cerinic (2007) <i>Ann N Y Acad Sci</i> <i></i> <i></i> 1108: 283-290<br/>

The authors describe the design and the general, ultrasonographic, neuropsychological methodology of an observational epidemiological population survey, named REMEMBER (Registry Evaluation Memory in Buttrio e Remanzacco) conducted in the northeast of Italy in a randomized stratified sample of 1,026 subjects (554 F and 472 M) aged 55-98 years. The study was planned as cross-sectional and longitudin...<br/><br/>P Prati, M Casaroli, A Bignamini, S Scotti, L Canciani, M Ruscio, M Balestrieri, N Bornstein, O Zanetti, A Tosetto, S Castellani, L Pantoni, P J Touboul, D Inzitari (2006) <i>Neuroepidemiology</i> <i></i> <i></i> 27: 1 33-38<br/>

The aim of this study was to investigate the cerebrovascular adaptability to 2 sequential pressor stimuli in elderly patients with isolated systolic hypertension. Ten healthy elderly normotensive subjects (68 to 82 years), 10 elderly subjects with isolated systolic hypertension (63 to 82 years), and 10 young normotensive subjects (24 to 40 years) took part in the study. A pressor reaction, using s...<br/><br/>Sergio Castellani, Marzia Bacci, Andrea Ungar, Patrizio Prati, Claudia Di Serio, Pierangelo Geppetti, Giulio Masotti, Gian Gastone Neri Serneri, Gian Franco Gensini (2006) <i>Hypertension</i> <i></i> <i></i> 48: 6 1143-1150<br/>

Consumption of alcoholic beverages reduces the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD), and epidemiological studies have shown that ethanol per se is protective. However, the mechanism by which ethanol exerts protection is not fully known. Ethanol can stimulate neuropeptide-containing primary sensory neurons via the activation of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1). Here, we have studie...<br/><br/>David Gazzieri, Marcello Trevisani, Francesca Tarantini, Paolo Bechi, Giulio Masotti, Gian Franco Gensini, Sergio Castellani, Niccolo' Marchionni, Pierangelo Geppetti, Selena Harrison (2006) <i>Cardiovasc Res</i> <i></i> <i></i> 70: 3 589-599<br/>
