The transplantation of genus Cladonia terricolous lichens on Polyporales parasitic xylophagous fungi was attempted. Three species of Cladonia (C. pyxidata, C. rangiformis, C. foliacea) have been moved (translocated) from Livorno hill woods (Tuscany, Italy) to some public Livorno parks which suffer by an excessive anthropization. After a short perio...

The book describes the ecosystem of Monte Pelato in Tuscany (Italy). In particular botanical species typical of serpentine rocks are represented.

Pulsing Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) effects lead to a modification of the multidrug resistance (MDR) of cells in vitro and in vivo. The murine leukemic doxorubicin-resistant cell line, P388/Dx, subjected to PEMF irradiation in vitro, showed a significant difference in thymidine incorporation when the concentration of doxorubicin reached a level of...

The history of thermodynamics has generated the list of systems that respect, without exceptions, the principles established by Clausius, Kelvin, Carnot, Boltzmann, Gibbs, Maxwell … (just to mention the main contributors to this discipline). In spite of that, the understanding of “transformations” in living organisms, originating from studies start...

Thiobenzamide (TB) is a thiono-containing compound endowed with liver-damaging properties and promoting ability on liver carcinogenesis. When administered in a single dose to normal as well as to adrenalectomized rats, this compound induced a striking thymus cortex involution without relevant effects on the morphological features of other lymphoid...

Thiobenzamide (TB) administration to rats (1 g/Kg of diet for 4 weeks) 10 days after a single i.p. injection of dimethylnitrosamine promotes the growth of preneoplastic liver lesions as evidenced by the sharp increase in number and area of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase-positive hepatocellular foci. At the same time the number of the plaque forming c...
