In a case where a volcano has been deeply studied and much of its behavior is known, there are several isotope techniques together with petrology and geophysical data that can help us to forecast when possibly a volcano can erupt. This, of course, has to be done only when a volcano is well known from the stratigraphic, volcanological (eruptive mechanism, volume, and other physical parameters), petrographic, petrological, and geochemical point of view. I would like to apply this methodology to the Somma-Vesuvius volcano and maybe to continue to other active volcanoes with high risk like the Somma-Vesuvius volcano.
\r\n\r\n\tThis book gives the opportunity to overview and enlighten any historical volcano active on earth. Maybe just a few that can be published on this international special issue (nearly 551 volcanoes).

An over-production of these reactive species due to oxidative stress can cause oxidative damage to biomolecules and the development of chronic diseases such as aging, coronary heart disease and cancer [1]. The harmful action of free radicals can be inhibited by antioxidant substances which scavenge them and detoxify the organism. Current research has confirmed that dietary antioxidants play an important role in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and cancers, neurodegenerative diseases and inflammation [2]. Pomegranate (
Even a small number of clinical trials in humans have been reported until now, the results showed positive effects of pomegranate extracts on various vascular diseases.
\nEllagitannins (ETs) are esters of hexahydroxydiphenic acid (HHDP) and a polyol, usually glucose or quinic acid that when they are hydrolyzed transform through lactonization to the component ellagic acid [14] (Figure 1).
\nBasic structures of ellagitannins: (A) HHDP acid (R radical); (B) galloyl unit (G radical); (C) ellagic acid.
The variability in the chemical structures among ETs is associated with different physico-chemical properties, hydrolytic reactions, and biological activity in vivo [15]. The important structural diversity of ET structure is due to the different possible extent of galloylation and formation of aromatic C-glycosides, the number of intramolecular C-C coupling of galloyl groups and hydrolytic cleavage of galloyl-derived aromatic rings, the level of dehydrogenation, and oligomerization [16].
\nEllagitannins and ellagic acid with anti-inflammatory and vasculoprotective effects are transformed by the gut microbiota to produce urolithins, bioavailable metabolites [17, 18] (Figure 2). There is, however, a large variability in health effects and can be associated with the different polyphenol glucuronide metabolic profiles. Differences in urolithin production, both quantity and chemical type, could explain, at least partly, the large variability in the health effects observed in vivo.
\nGut microbiota metabolism of ellagitannins and ellagic acid.
The effects of components of the pomegranate e.g. ellagic acid (EA) are also focusing on its potential protective action towards several neurodegenerative disorders. EA has been investigated as multi-target pharmacological drug on CNS in a review analysis [19]. Pomegranate metabolites such as urolithins prevented β-amyloid fibrillation in vitro and especially methyl-urolithin B (3-methoxy-6H-dibenzo [b, d] pyran-6-one), had a protective effect in
Urolithin A (UA) allayed hypoxia/reoxygenation abuse in myocardial cells, decreased myocardial cell death in mice after ischemia/reperfusion. UA enhanced antioxidant quantity in cardiomyocytes following hypoxia/reoxygenation reducing myocardial apoptosis [21]. The flavonoids naringin and narirutin have a significant beneficial effect in reducing diastolic blood pressure, in patients with hypertension [22]. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were pretreated with ellagic acid and then incubated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL). The results indicated inhibition of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase, enhancing cellular antioxidant defenses, and attenuating oxLDL-induced Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) up-regulation and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) down-regulation. Lectin-like oxidized LDL (oxLDL) receptor-1 (LOX-1, also known as OLR-1, is a class E scavenger receptor that mediates the uptake of oxLDL by vascular cells. LOX-1 seems to represent an attractive therapeutic target for the treatment of human atherosclerotic diseases [23]. Adipocyte cells were pretreated with punicalagin and ellagic acid and that caused inhibition of lipolysis reducing MAO activity [24].
\nUrolithin C, a combination of urolithins A and B metabolites of pomegranate and ellagic acid also reduced cholesterol accumulation in the human monocytic cell line THF-1-derived macrophages, but were unable to promote cholesterol outflow. Atherosclerotic processes can be attenuated by urolithins, but future human intervention tests are needed to see if it translates in vivo [23]. The ability of punicic acid (PUA) to modulate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor PPAR activity was determined in 3 T3-L1 pre-adipocytes. PUA activates PPAR, increases PPAR -responsive gene expression and ameliorates diabetes and inflammation [25].
\nPJ concentrate reduced the activation of redox-sensitive genes (ELK-1 and p-JUN) and increased eNOS expression in cultured human coronary artery endothelial cells (EC) exposed to high shear stress in vitro [26]. In vitro study showed that pomegranate leaf, seed and juice repressed cholinesterase activity in a dose dependent manner. Pomegranate juice had also protective effects against hydrogen peroxide induced toxicity in the
Microglial cells are the resident macrophages of the CNS. The immortalized murine microglial cell line BV-2 has been used frequently as a substitute for primary microglia. Urolithin B inhibited the production of NO and pro-inflammatory cytokines, inhibited NF-κB activity by reducing the phosphorylation and degradation of a nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells inhibitor, IκBα. In addition, urolithin B suppressed the phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK), and Protein kinase B Akt, and enhanced the phosphorylation of AMPK, which is associated with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant processes [28, 29]. In another study, lipopolysaccharide LPS-treated cultured astrocytes and microglial BV-2 cells were investigated for anti-neuroinflammatory effects of punicalagin (PUN). It was found that PUN inhibits LPS-induced memory impairment via anti-inflammatory and anti-amylogenic mechanisms through inhibition of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells NF-κB activation [30]. The above results may be a solution to Alzheimer Disease [31].
\nClinical studies in hypertensive and/or obese patients receiving pomegranate juice have shown a reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure [32, 33, 34, 35, 36] and a concomitant increase in high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Juice intake also led to a significant reduction in the by-products of fat peroxidation and protein and inflammatory biomarkers. Patients taking pomegranate-containing nutrient supplements had lowered systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels but the cardiovascular risk did not recover [37].
\nA number of clinical trials in humans proved the positive effects of pomegranate juice in the protection of central nervous system (CNS). Maternal pomegranate juice absorption in pregnancies with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) showed differences in the infant brain and structure [38].
\nWhen PJ was given in diabetic rats it was observed decreased blood glucose, lipid levels, and inflammatory biomarkers [39]. In another study using obese Zucker rats, intake of pomegranate juice (PJ) or fruit extract PFE caused a decrease of inflammation factors and increase of plasma nitrate and nitrite (NOx) [40] In a study involving diabetic rats, they were given pomegranate seed powder (PS). Increased blood cholesterol, LDL and HDL lipoprotein were found [39, 41] while systolic blood pressure, angiotensin-converting enzyme coronary activity decreased [42]. Pomegranate peel (PPE), flower (PFE) and seed (PSO) given in obese mice decreased fasting blood glucose, improved insulin sensitivity, increased levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 [43] and activated peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) [25]. PPARγ, a ligand-activated transcription factor, has a role in various cellular functions as well as glucose homeostasis, lipid metabolism, and avoidance of oxidative stress. Pigs with hypercholesterolemia were given a pomegranate extract which caused reduction of systemic oxidative stress [33]. Pomegranate supplementation also exhibits cardiovascular protection improving cardiac hypertrophy in cigarette smoke in sight animals [11].
\nPreclinical trials in animal models added research results to the positive effects of pomegranate in CNS. In a rat model of Parkinsonism induced by rotenone, pomegranate juice treatment resulted in protection against oxidative destruction and improvement of neuronal durability [44]. Besides, in a rat model of maternal inflammation, pomegranate juice caused inhibition of fetal brain apoptosis, neuronal nitric oxide synthase, and nuclear factor-κB activation [45] (Table 1).

Vasculoprotective and neuroprotective effects of pomegranate and their substances/metabolites in in vitro and in vivo pre-clinical studies.
Methods used are extensively described in literature (e.g. [21, 37, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50]).
\nThe in vitro and in vivo studies showed that the whole parts of pomegranate as well as its main components such as hydrolysable tannins, ellagic acid and urolithins had a positive influence on blood glucose, lipid levels, oxidation stress and neuro/inflammatory biomarkers.
\nThe reviewed studies emphasize the potential benefits and suggest of a wider use of pomegranate and its components as dietary supplements or as adjuncts in the treatment of vascular and neurodegenerative diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, peripheral artery disease and Alzheimer disease.
