Pre-analytical and analytical aspects affecting clinical reliability of plasma glucose results

Sara Pasqualetti, Federica Braga, Mauro Panteghini

Clinical Biochemistry > 2017 > 50 > 10-11 > 587-594

The measurement of plasma glucose (PG) plays a central role in recognizing disturbances in carbohydrate metabolism, with established decision limits that are globally accepted. This requires that PG results are reliable and unequivocally valid no matter where they are obtained. To control the pre-analytical variability of PG and prevent in vitro glycolysis, the use of citrate as rapidly effective...

Total laboratory automation: Do stat tests still matter?

Alberto Dolci, Davide Giavarina, Sara Pasqualetti, Dominika Szőke, more

Clinical Biochemistry > 2017 > 50 > 10-11 > 605-611

During the past decades the healthcare systems have rapidly changed and today hospital care is primarily advocated for critical patients and acute treatments, for which laboratory test results are crucial and need to be always reported in predictably short turnaround time (TAT). Laboratories in the hospital setting can face this challenge by changing their organization from a compartmentalized laboratory...

Alendronate rescued osteoporotic phenotype in a model of glucocorticoid‐induced osteoporosis in adult zebrafish scale

Sara Pasqualetti, Terenzio Congiu, Giuseppe Banfi, Massimo Mariotti

International Journal of Experimental Pathology > 96 > 1 > 11 - 20

Long‐term effects of glucocorticoid treatment in humans induce bone loss and increase the risk of fracture in the skeleton. The pathogenic mechanisms of glucocorticoid‐induced osteoporosis (GIOP) are still unclear. The GIOP and its effects have been reproduced in several animal models including Danio rerio (zebrafish) embryo. The treatment of adult fish with prednisolone (PN) has shown a dose‐dependent...

The effects of strontium on skeletal development in zebrafish embryo

Sara Pasqualetti, Giuseppe Banfi, Massimo Mariotti

Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology > 2013 > 27 > 4 > 375-379

The strontium is an alkaline earth metal found in nature as trace element. Chemically similar to calcium, it is known to be involved in the human bone mineral metabolism. The strontium ranelate has been approved in therapy as drug with both anti-resorption and anabolic effects on bone tissues. Since few data in vivo are available, we used Danio rerio as animal model to evaluate the effects of strontium...

The zebrafish scale as model to study the bone mineralization process

Sara Pasqualetti, Giuseppe Banfi, Massimo Mariotti

Journal of Molecular Histology > 2012 > 43 > 5 > 589-595

Danio rerio (zebrafish) shows high similarity with humans in terms of bone architecture, bone cells, matrix proteins and molecular signalling. The fish body is covered by elasmoid scales which are part of the dermal skeleton. Since few data have been published about the function of the fish scale cells, we investigated the mineralization pattern of the scale and the role of the episquamal osteoblasts...

Osteoblast and osteoclast behavior in zebrafish cultured scales

Sara Pasqualetti, Giuseppe Banfi, Massimo Mariotti

Cell and Tissue Research > 2012 > 350 > 1 > 69-75

Fish scale culture can be used as a model to test the effects of several molecules on bone metabolism by histological and biochemical methods, although solid cell biology data about the behavior of the scale cells in culture are needed if such a model is to be employed for pharmacological applications. In the present study, we cultured zebrafish scales at various temperatures and for various times...
