The article presents the basic principles that govern the philosophy of various nurseries facilities in San Miniato, Italy. In this small Tuscan town, early-learning has become a common task for the whole community, with each and every child being regarded as an individual rich in potential. As well as the residents and citizens, local authorities are also making an effort to surround the children and their parents with a caring environment, an approach that is indicative of the kind of good practice inherent in the San Miniato early education model. Currently, a network of nine crèches is being operated within the municipality, with the principles behind these models becoming more and more popular in Europe and further afield. About 48% of children aged 0-3 years are attending different types of pre-school institutions. The nurseries in San Miniato care about the subjectivity and individuality of each child. All classes and methods are adapted to the capabilities, needs and interests of the individual children, with teachers acting as facilitators and mentors, encouraging and connecting with parents. They partner with educators and support each other in all activities. In addition, participation is encouraged from local entrepreneurs, which means that in these small communities, the vast majority of the population is actively involved in one way or another with the institutions.

Ultraviolet radiation is a physical mutagenic and cancerogenic factor. About 95% of ultraviolet A (UVA) (320–400 nm) and 5% of UVB (280–320 nm) reach the Earth’s surface. Melanin is a natural skin protective factor against UV radiation. Skin cancers associated with long-term exposure to UV radiation are: basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM). The high risk of BCC development is related to acute and repeated exposure to UV causing sunburn. Molecular studies of BBC demonstrated disorders in sonic hedgehog (SHH) cell signaling regulation pathway, associated with the suppressor protein patched homolog 1 gene (PTCH1) mutations. The risk of the BCC development is related to the polymorphism of melanokortin-1 receptor gene (MC1R). Tumor P53 gene mutations observed in BCC cells has been classified as secondary genetic changes. In SCC cells UV-induced mutations were mostly related to P53 gene. Increased expression of cyclooxigenase- 2 gene (COX-2) plays a significant role in the development of SCC. Other pathogenetic factors include intensification of the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-1 α (IL-1α), IL-1β and IL-6). Currently, the role of UVB has been recognized in the pathogenesis of CMM. In CMM cells the following gene mutations were noted: cyclindependent kinase inhibitor 2A INK4A (p16 INK4A), cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4), Ras, phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) and proto-oncogene B-Raf (BRAF). The BRAF gene mutations were observed in ~50% of CMM cases. Mutations of P53 gene are not characteristic of CMM cells. Med Pr 2016;67(2):255–266

Promieniowanie ultrafioletowe (UV) jest fizycznym czynnikiem mutagennym i karcynogennym. Do powierzchni Ziemi dociera ok. 95% promieniowania ultrafioletowego A (UVA) (320–400 nm) i ok. 5% UVB (280–320 nm). Naturalnym czynnikiem ochronnym skóry przed UV jest melanina. Do raków skóry, których rozwój jest związany z długotrwałym narażeniem na promieniowanie UV, zalicza się niebarwnikowe raki skóry (non-melanoma skin cancers – NMSC) – raka podstawnokomórkowego (basal cell carcinoma – BCC) i raka kolczystokomórkowego (squamous cell carcinoma – SCC) oraz czerniaka złośliwego skóry (cutaneous malignant melanoma – CMM). Wysokie ryzyko rozwoju BCC związane jest z ostrą i wielokrotną ekspozycją na UV, powodującą oparzenia słoneczne. Badania molekularne BCC wykazały zaburzenia na szlaku regulacji sygnalizacji komórkowej sonic hedgehog (SHH), które były związane z mutacjami genu supresorowego PTCH1 (protein patched homolog 1). Ryzyko rozwoju BCC jest również związane z polimorfizmem genu receptora melanokortyny-1 (MC1R). Obserwowane w komórkach BCC mutacje genu P53 klasyfikowano jako wtórne zmiany genetyczne. W komórkach SCC mutacje indukowane UV najczęściej dotyczyły genu P53. W rozwoju SCC istotne znaczenie ma zwiększona ekspresja genu enzymu cyklooksygenazy-2 (COX-2). Innym czynnikiem patogenetycznym SCC jest nasilenie syntezy cytokin prozapalnych (czynnika martwicy nowotworu α (tumor necrosis factor α – TNF-α), interleukiny-1 α (IL-1α), IL-1β i IL-6). Obecnie w patogenezie CMM powszechnie uznawana jest rola UVB. W komórkach CMM notowano mutacje w genach: p16 INK4A (cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A INK4A), genie kodującym cyklinozależną kinazę 4 (cyclin-dependent kinase 4 – CDK4), Ras, PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10) i BRAF (proto-oncogene B-Raf). Mutacje genu BRAF stwierdzano w ok. 50% przypadków CMM. Mutacje genu P53 nie są charakterystyczne dla komórek CMM. Med. Pr. 2016;67(2):255–266
