BackgroundIntraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) are the first immune cells to contact and fight intestinal pathogens such as Cryptosporidium, a widespread parasite which infects the gut epithelium. IFN-γ producing CD4+ T IELs provide an efficient and a long-term protection against cryptosporidiosis while intraepithelial type 1 innate lymphoid cells limits pathogen spreading during early stages of infection in immunodeficient individuals. Yet, the role of T-cell like innate IELs, the most frequent subset of innate lymphocytes in the gut, remains unknown.MethodsTo better define functions of innate IELs in cryptosporidiosis, we developed a co-culture model with innate IELs isolated from Rag2-/- mice and 3D intestinal organoids infected with C. parvum using microinjection.ResultsThanks to this original model, we demonstrated that innate IELs control parasite proliferation. We further showed that although innate IELs secrete IFN-γ in response to C. parvum, the cytokine was not sufficient to inhibit parasite proliferation at early stages of the infection. The rapid protective effect of innate IELs was in fact mediated by a cytotoxic, granzyme-dependent mechanism. Moreover, transcriptomic analysis of the Cryptosporidium-infected organoids revealed that epithelial cells down regulated Serpinb9b, a granzyme inhibitor, which may increase their sensitivity to cytolytic attack by innate IELs.ConclusionBased on these data we conclude that innate IELs, most likely T-cell-like innate IELs, provide a rapid protection against C. parvum infection through a perforin/granzymes-dependent mechanism. C. parvum infection. The infection may also increase the sensitivity of intestinal epithelial cells to the innate IEL-mediated cytotoxic attack by decreasing the expression of Serpin genes.

Despite their high productivity and their key role in coastal processes, microphytobenthic biofilm studies remain relatively scarce because in situ, meteorological hazards make it difficult to acquire reproducible measurements, also due to difficulties in properly reproducing field conditions in the laboratory. Therefore, in order to better understand the processes of microphytobenthic primary production, we have developed an automated laboratory system and procedure with variable light intensity, with a large number of replicates. This article aims to provide a description of the creation of a P-I curve based on a total of 128 vertical profiles recorded on a sediment core taken in situ, placed in the automated system and studied under controlled conditions of temperature and air humidity while light intensity was varied automatically, thus allowing to work in standard and replicable conditions. With measured production levels of up to 14.68 ± 3.70 mmol O2.m-2.h-1 and a productivity of 0.06 ± 0.01 mmol O2.m-2.h-1 per gram of Chl a corresponding to what is generally found in temperate environments, we have shown that our system is suitable for high frequency measurements and, by combining surficial measurements of modulated fluorescence and oxygen microprofiling in sediments, complementary information from a large dataset on photosynthetic and microphytobenthic migratory activity may be obtained under standard conditions. The development of this tool has made it possible to highlight a stabilization time for oxygen fluxes. For our study conducted in a temperate environment, we observed a time lag of a few minutes that should be considered when acquiring PE curves in the laboratory to study microphytobenthic photosynthetic capacities. This tool also allowed to describe microphytobenthic migration in response to light exposure, with successive steps observed through fluorescence and oxygen profiles. First, microphytobenthos migrated towards the surface until the optimal intensity of production at 475 µmol photons.m-2.s-1, then from this intensity as well as towards 780 µmol photons.m-2.s-1, downwards migratory movements were detected. This system is a working basis which can open interesting perspectives for the study of the effect of other abiotic (or biotic) parameters.

Abstract Background The lateral chest wall is intimately associated with the esthetics of the breast. Patients with massive weight loss often have excess skin and fat in the lateral thoracic region causing functional, esthetic, and psychological discomfort. In addition, the breasts exhibit extreme ptosis after weight loss due to a reduction in volume and projection that is exacerbated by qualitative changes in the skin, with loss of its natural elasticity. This article describes a reliable new technique for simultaneous autologous breast augmentation and lateral thoracic dermolipectomy to provide autologous tissue for breast augmentation and simultaneous rejuvenation of the chest wall. Case presentation A 30-year-old Caucasian woman who had lost 58 kg after bariatric surgery had major skin excess sequelae combined with major breast ptosis. She wanted to correct her brachial and lateral thoracic skin and fat excess, as well as rejuvenate her breasts. The lateral thoracic panicle present was harvested and transposed in the retroglandular plane to perform autologous breast augmentation with lateral thoracic dermolipectomy. Results The patient was totally healed and complication-free at day 15. Both esthetic results and patient satisfaction were good at 6 months post-surgery. Conclusions Superolateral thoracic flap augmentation mammaplasty during thoracic dermolipectomy is a simple and safe procedure for selected patients. Durable and natural autologous breast augmentation may be achieved in a single step without the need for a breast implant, while rejuvenating the thoracic region.

Surgery ,RD1-811 - Abstract
Summary:. Breast implant reconstructions increasingly incorporate meshes like the synthetic nonresorbable titanium-coated polypropylene mesh commercialized as Tiloop (Pfm medical). We report the case of a 48-year-old woman, with a medical history of nickel allergy, who presented with an extensive erythematous eruption, a periprosthetic reaction, and an axillary node reaction, 18 months after a unilateral prophylactic mastectomy. We excluded infectious, sarcoidosis and carcinomatosis. The patient’s medical history, the clinical evolution, and the particularly fast and complete healing after removal of the mesh were suggestive of an unusual allergic reaction to the titanium in the titanium-coated polypropylene mesh. Titanium allergies are very rare events, predominantly described in the dental and orthopedic fields. We also discussed the hypothesis of a tardive red breast syndrome related to a synthetic mesh, also mediated by immunological response as described recently in another case report.

Abstract Background Soft tissue sarcomas affecting the root of an upper extremity raise the question of limb amputation depending on their location, size, and malignancy. Malignant triton tumors are a rare subtype of neurofibrosarcomas that have been poorly reported in the literature. We report the case of a challenging reconstruction of the upper extremity using a pedicled latissimus dorsal flap. Case presentation A 25-year-old Occidental man was referred to our sarcoma unit for the management of a large, high-grade malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor with no regional or distant extension and very fast progression. He was treated first by concomitant neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Carcinologic excision was performed “en bloc” including the skin, the tumor, and the flexor muscles of our patient’s elbow. Coverage of the skin defect and elbow flexion restoration were achieved by using a homolateral pedicled musculocutaneous latissimus dorsi flap. Histological analysis showed an R0 resection. The reconstruction process recovered a complete bending of his elbow. He is still in remission at 26 months follow-up. Conclusions A malignant triton tumor is a rare, aggressive, and high-grade sarcoma. It was successfully treated and this case report describes an effective treatment modality. Reconstructive surgery, allowing large, complete tumor removal, is indispensable after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

The NKG2 family of NK receptors includes activating and inhibitory members. With the exception of the homodimer-forming NKG2D, NKG2 receptors recognize the nonclassical MHC class I molecule HLA-E, and they can be subdivided into two groups: those that associate with and signal through DAP12 to activate cells, and those that contain an ITIM motif to promote inhibition. The function of NKG2 family member NKG2E is unclear in humans, and its surface expression has never been conclusively established, largely because there is no Ab that binds specifically to NKG2E. Seeking to determine a role for this molecule, we chose to investigate its expression and ability to form complexes with intracellular signaling molecules. We found that NKG2E was capable of associating with CD94 and DAP12 but that the complex was retained intracellularly at the endoplasmic reticulum instead of being expressed on cell surfaces, and that this localization was dependent on a sequence of hydrophobic amino acids in the extracellular domain of NKG2E. Because this particular sequence has emerged and been conserved selectively among higher order primates evolutionarily, this observation raises the intriguing possibility that NKG2E may function as an intracellular protein.

16. '’Tis a reckless Debowch of a Game': Chance and Resistance in Thomas Pynchon’s Novels

This paper seeks to consider games — and more particularly card games and gambling — as an American form of resistance in Thomas Pynchon’s novels. As opposed to agôn, a category of games that Roger Caillois delineates in Man, Play and Games (1958) as “a combat in which equality of chances is artificially created, in order that the adversaries should confront each other under ideal conditions,” alea encompasses games of chance which are “a strict negation of controlled effort, […] efficacious resort to skill, power, and calculation, and self-control; respect for the rules; the desire to test oneself under conditions of equality.” It will be my contention that alea, in Pynchon’s novels, offers the possibility of an alternative world and becomes a necessary mode of resistance in the face of a plenty-flushed adversity which threatens to hold sway over the American continent. For Pynchon’s players, more often than not cheaters and fraudsters, use such games of chance to fulfil their longing for emancipation and flight, at a time in history when the American continent is about to be mapped by the abstractions of colonial companies and Enlightenment science. Gaming clubs — ranging from taverns in Mason & Dixon to casinos and gambling dens in Gravity’s Rainbow (1973), Against the Day (2006), and Inherent Vice (2009) — can be recognized as heterotopian sites where otherwise dispersed groups of people momentarily gather in order to gain freedom from the ruling few. Although the moralism of Puritan ministers sternly reminded their flocks to refrain from wasting their earnings on rash bets, gambling can thus be envisioned as a way to escape from the hyper-productivity expounded by modernity, intersecting with Walter Benjamin’s discourse on the materialist form of gambling within industrial capitalism. Following Gerda Reith’s and Susan Strange’s arguments in The Age of Chance (1999) and Casino Capitalism (1986), I will further argue that, in the new capitalist economy, Pynchon anticipates in his novels the attention of late capitalism to new areas for capitalization, overseeing both the commodification of idleness and the insinuation into the fabric of existence of the same risk assessment strategy as that applied by capitalism.

Abstract Objectives Assessment of the adaptive immune response against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) is crucial for studying long‐term immunity and vaccine strategies. We quantified IFNγ‐secreting T cells reactive against the main viral SARS‐CoV‐2 antigens using a standardised enzyme‐linked immunospot assay (ELISpot). Methods Overlapping peptide pools built from the sequences of M, N and S viral proteins and a mix (MNS) were used as antigens. Using IFNγ T‐CoV‐Spot assay, we assessed T‐cell and antibody responses in mild, moderate and severe SARS‐CoV‐2 patients and in control samples collected before the outbreak. Results Specific T cells were assessed in 60 consecutive patients (mild, n = 26; moderate, n = 10; and severe patients, n = 24) during their follow‐up (median time from symptom onset [interquartile range]: 36 days [28;53]). T cells against M, N and S peptide pools were detected in n = 60 (100%), n = 56 (93.3%), n = 55 patients (91.7%), respectively. Using the MNS mix, IFNγ T‐CoV‐Spot assay showed a specificity of 96.7% (95% CI, 88.5–99.6%) and a specificity of 90.3% (75.2–98.0%). The frequency of reactive T cells observed with M, S and MNS mix pools correlated with severity and with levels of anti‐S1 and anti‐RBD serum antibodies. Conclusion IFNγ T‐CoV‐Spot assay is a reliable method to explore specific T cells in large cohorts of patients. This test may become a useful tool to assess the long‐lived memory T‐cell response after vaccination. Our study demonstrates that SARS‐CoV‐2 patients developing a severe disease achieve a higher adaptive immune response.

Abstract Background Ideally, monoclonal antibodies provide selective treatment by targeting the tumour, without affecting normal tissues. Therefore, antibody imaging is of interest, preferably in early stages of drug development. However, the imaging signal consists of specific, as well as non-specific, uptake. The aim of this study was to assess specific, target-mediated uptake in normal tissues, with immuno-PET in a phase I dose escalation study, using the anti-CD44 antibody RG7356 as example. Results Data from thirteen patients with CD44-expressing solid tumours included in an imaging sub-study of a phase I dose escalation clinical trial using the anti-CD44 antibody RG7356 was analysed. 89Zirconium-labelled RG7356 (1 mg; 37 MBq) was administered after a variable dose of unlabelled RG7356 (0 to 675 mg). Tracer uptake in normal tissues (liver, spleen, kidney, lung, bone marrow, brain and blood pool) was used to calculate the area under the time antibody concentration curve (AUC) and expressed as tissue-to-blood AUC ratios. Within the dose range of 1 to 450 mg, tissue-to-blood AUC ratios decreased from 10.6 to 0.75 ± 0.16 for the spleen, 7.5 to 0.86 ± 0.18 for the liver, 3.6 to 0.48 ± 0.13 for the bone marrow, 0.69 to 0.26 ± 0.1 for the lung and 1.29 to 0.56 ± 0.14 for the kidney, indicating dose-dependent uptake. In all patients receiving ≥ 450 mg (n = 7), tumour uptake of the antibody was observed. Conclusions This study demonstrates how immuno-PET in a dose escalation study provides a non-invasive technique to quantify dose-dependent uptake in normal tissues, indicating specific, target-mediated uptake.

- Abstract
Celiac disease is an intestinal inflammatory disorder induced by dietary gluten in genetically susceptible individuals. The mechanisms underlying the massive expansion of interferon gamma-producing intraepithelial cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and the destruction of the epithelial cells lining the small intestine of celiac patients have remained elusive. We report massive oligoclonal expansions of intraepithelial CTLs that exhibit a profound genetic reprogramming of natural killer (NK) functions. These CTLs aberrantly expressed cytolytic NK lineage receptors, such as NKG2C, NKp44, and NKp46, which associate with adaptor molecules bearing immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs and induce ZAP-70 phosphorylation, cytokine secretion, and proliferation independently of T cell receptor signaling. This NK transformation of CTLs may underlie both the self-perpetuating, gluten-independent tissue damage and the uncontrolled CTL expansion leading to malignant lymphomas in severe forms of celiac disease. Because similar changes were detected in a subset of CTLs from cytomegalovirus-seropositive patients, we suggest that a stepwise transformation of CTLs into NK-like cells may underlie immunopathology in various chronic infectious and inflammatory diseases.

- Abstract
La abdominoplastia es uno de los procedimientos más realizados en cirugía plástica. Los progresos en cirugía plástica, en particular de la lipoaspiración y el desarrollo de la cirugía bariátrica, permiten en la actualidad tratar de forma satisfactoria a los pacientes que consultan por secuelas del adelgazamiento o de la gestación. La cirugía de la pared abdominal, tanto estética como posbariátrica, forma parte integrante de la especialidad de cirugía plástica y responde a una fuerte demanda de los pacientes, no sólo estética, sino sobre todo funcional. El adelgazamiento, en ocasiones muy intenso, permite en determinadas condiciones realizar un tratamiento quirúrgico dirigido a rehabilitar las alteraciones corporales debidas a los excedentes cutáneos que quedan como secuela. Aunque está perfectamente estandarizada, conviene no olvidar que esta cirugía no está desprovista de riesgos. La técnica tradicional, cuyo principio es una resección cutaneoadiposa del sector infraumbilical, seguida del estiramiento de un colgajo abdominal supraumbilical con ayuda de un despegamiento del área supraumbilical más o menos amplio, siempre está de actualidad. El conocimiento y el tratamiento de las posibles complicaciones son tan importantes como la propia cirugía. El objetivo de este artículo es exponer la evolución de los conceptos y las técnicas modernas de dermolipectomía abdominal anterior y total circular.

- Abstract
Flap reconstruction is often required after pelvic tumor resection to reduce wound complications. The use of perforator flaps has been shown to reduce donor site morbidity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of pedicled deep inferior epigastric perforator (pDIEP) flap reconstruction. This was a retrospective multicenter study of patients who underwent immediate pDIEP flap reconstruction for a pelvic or perineal defect after tumor resection between November 2012 and June 2022. The primary outcome was abdominal donor site morbidity, and the secondary outcome was perineal morbidity. Thirty-four patients (median age, 57.5 years) who underwent pelvic exenteration (n = 31), extralevator abdominoperineal excision (n = 2), or extended vaginal hysterectomy (n = 1) were included. The most common indications were recurrent cervical (n = 19) and anal (n = 4) squamous cell carcinoma. Twenty-nine patients (85%) had a history of radiotherapy. Only one patient (3%) had major (Clavien-Dindo ≥ III) donor site complications (surgical site infection due to tumor recurrence). Eleven patients (32%) had at least one major recipient site complication (surgical site infection [n = 1], total [n = 2] or partial [n = 1] flap loss, perineal dehiscence [n = 2], hematoma [n = 1], fistula [n = 5]). No incisional or perineal hernias were observed during follow-up. Ninety-day survival was 100%. Pedicled DIEP flap reconstructions performed by experienced surgical teams had good outcomes for perineal or vaginal reconstruction, with low abdominal morbidity, in patients with advanced pelvic malignancies who had undergone median laparotomy. The risks and benefits of this procedure should be carefully evaluated preoperatively using clinical and imaging data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular parasite that frequently infects a large spectrum of warm-blooded animals. This parasite induces abortion and establishes both chronic and silent infections, particularly in the brain. Parasite penetration into the host activates a strong anti-parasite immune response. In the present paper, we will discuss the interplay between innate and adaptive immunity that occurs within the infected intestine to clear the parasite and to maintain intestinal homeostasis despite the exacerbation of an inflammatory immune response.

Medicine ,Science - Abstract
Background and objectivesAnti-hypertensive treatment with the angiotensin II receptor antagonist olmesartan is a rare cause of severe Sprue-like enteropathy. To substantiate the hypothesis that olmesartan interferes with gut immune homeostasis, clinical, histopathological and immune features were compared in olmesartan-induced-enteropathy (OIE) and in autoimmune enteropathy (AIE).MethodsMedical files of seven patients with OIE and 4 patients with AIE enrolled during the same period were retrospectively reviewed. Intestinal biopsies were collected for central histopathological review, T cell Receptor clonality and flow cytometric analysis of isolated intestinal lymphocytes.ResultsAmong seven olmesartan-treated patients who developed villous atrophy refractory to a gluten free diet, three had extra-intestinal autoimmune diseases, two had antibodies reacting with the 75 kilodalton antigen characteristic of AIE and one had serum anti-goblet cell antibodies. Small intestinal lesions and signs of intestinal lymphocyte activation were thus reminiscent of the four cases of AIE diagnosed during the same period. Before olmesartan discontinuation, remission was induced in all patients (7/7) by immunosuppressive drugs. After interruption of both olmesartan and immunosuppressive drugs in six patients, remission was maintained in 4 but anti-TNF-α therapy was needed in two.ConclusionThis case-series shows that olmesartan can induce intestinal damage mimicking AIE. OIE usually resolved after olmesartan interruption but immunosuppressive drugs may be necessary to achieve remission. Our data sustain the hypothesis that olmesartan interferes with intestinal immuno regulation in predisposed individuals.

- Abstract
Limb-sparing surgery combined with radiation has become the standard treatment for soft tissue sarcomas. Despite the many advantages of reconstruction procedures, such as muscle-sparing flap and local reconstruction, the use of pedicled perforator flaps remains non-consensual due to doubts about their reliability when associated with radiotherapy. This study evaluated their surgical reliability in reconstructive surgery for limb and trunk soft tissue sarcomas, in terms of healing time, wound disorders, and postoperative complications, regardless of radiation timing. We realized a retrospective, observational, bi-center study (Cancer University Institute of Toulouse Oncopole, France and Bergonié Institute Bordeaux, France) and describes pedicled perforator flaps performed between January 2015 and January 2021. A total of 74 flaps were included. The median age of the population was 70-year-old. The group consisted of 68.8% (n = 51/74) propeller flaps. We found a partial necrosis rate of 28.4% (n = 21/74), scar disunion of 48.6% (n = 36/74), local infection of 10.8% (n = 8/74), and venous congestion of 13.5% (n = 10/74). Only 16.2% (n = 12/74) required secondary surgical repair to a local complication. The average length of stay was 7.3 days [1.0–25.0]. The mean operating time of our flaps was 133.4 min [38.0–280.0]. Pedicled perforator flaps are a surgical technique that can be used in reconstructive surgery for limb and trunk soft tissue sarcomas in adults, regardless of radiation timing. However, these flaps carry a high rate of postoperative complications so they should be reserved for expert surgeons in referral centers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Surgery ,RD1-811 - Abstract
Background: The prevalence of pterygium colli (“webbed neck”) is 75% in patients with Turner syndrome. This congenital deformity manifests as a bilateral cervical skin fold stretching from the mastoid to the acromion. Although the visibility of this skin fold varies among patients, it frequently has negative social effects. The surgical management of this malformation remains challenging as it requires the achievement of a harmonious neck profile and natural hairline implantation. Methods: We describe a series of 5 girls with Turner syndrome who were managed in our department at the University Hospital Center of Toulouse-Rangueil, France. All patients benefited from a surgical approach based on a new posterior technique, including half-moon resection of the skin fold with an inferior back-cut and suturing of the superficial lamina of the cervical fascia. To ensure solidity, the fascia was fastened to the nuchal ligament. Results: Patients’ mean age at surgery was 10 years (range, 6–13 y). The mean duration of follow-up was 13.7 years (range, 2–20 y). No scar enlargement or recurrence was remotely authenticated. The patients were satisfied with the cosmetic results, including an esthetic neck profile and recovery of hairline implantation. Conclusion: The “posterior cervical lift,” an innovative surgical technique for the management of pterygium colli, achieved satisfying cosmetic outcomes and stability over time.

PurposeAromatase inhibitor therapy (AI) significantly improves survival in breast cancer patients. Little is known about adherence and persistence to aromatase inhibitors and about the causes of treatment discontinuation among older women.MethodsWe constituted a cohort of women over 65 receiving a first AI therapy for breast cancer between 2006 and 2008, and followed them until June 2011. Women were selected in the population-based French National Health Insurance databases, and data was collected on the basis of pharmacy refills, medical records and face-to-face interviews. Non-persistence to treatment was defined as the first treatment discontinuation lasting more than 3 consecutive months. Time to treatment discontinuation was studied using survival analysis techniques.ResultsOverall among the 382 selected women, non-persistence to treatment went from 8.7% (95%CI: 6.2-12.1) at 1 year, to 15.6% (95%CI: 12.2-19.8) at 2 years, 20.8% (95%CI: 16.7-25.6) at 3 years, and 24.7% (95%CI: 19.5-31.0) at 4 years. In the multivariate analysis on a sub-sample of 233 women with available data, women using complementary or alternative medicine (CAM) (HR = 3.2; 95%CI: 1.5-6.9) or suffering from comorbidities (HR = 2.2; 95%CI: 1.0-4.8) were more likely to discontinue their treatment, whereas women with polypharmacy (HR = 0.4; 95%CI: 0.2-0.91) were less likely to discontinue. In addition, 13% of the women with positive hormonal receptor status did not fill any prescription for anti-hormonal therapy.ConclusionAI therapy is discontinued prematurely in a substantial portion of older patients. Some patients may use CAM not as a complementary treatment, but as an alternative to conventional medicine. Improving patient-physician communication on the use of CAM may improve hormonal therapy adherence.

- Abstract
L’avènement des lambeaux libres a permis d’aborder des chirurgies reconstructrices de plus en plus complexes. De nombreux patients ont pu bénéficier au préalable de traitements chirurgicaux extensifs, d’une première reconstruction par lambeau libre et/ou d’irradiation cervicale. Ces traitements entraînent de profondes modifications anatomiques et peuvent altérer la qualité des tissus. Le chirurgien reconstructeur peut alors être confronté à une situation où le choix des vaisseaux receveurs est limité. À l’extrême, des patients présentent un désert vasculaire cervical dans 7 % des cas. Pour les anastomoses veineuses, les branches de la veine jugulaire interne et la veine jugulaire externe sont préférentiellement utilisées. Mais celles-ci peuvent avoir été liées ou être inutilisables. La congestion veineuse est l’une des causes les plus fréquentes d’échec dans ces situations. L’utilisation de la veine céphalique est une alternative décrite pour la réalisation d’une seconde anastomose en première intention. Mais elle reste rare pour le sauvetage précoce d’un lambeau libre. À partir d’un cas, la technique de la transposition de la veine céphalique est illustrée pour le sauvetage précoce d’une reconstruction cervicofaciale par double lambeau libre. La transposition de la veine céphalique est une technique simple, fiable et rapide. Elle doit faire partie de l’arsenal du chirurgien reconstructeur cervico-facial.

Medicine ,Science - Abstract
Structural and biophysical studies of protein complexes require multi-milligram quantities of soluble material. Subunits are often unstable when expressed separately so co-expression strategies are commonly employed since in vivo complex formation can provide stabilising effects. Defining constructs for subunit co-expression experiments is difficult if the proteins are poorly understood. Even more problematic is when subunit polypeptide chains co-fold since individually they do not have predictable domains. We have developed CoESPRIT, a modified version of the ESPRIT random library construct screen used previously on single proteins, to express soluble protein complexes. A random library of target constructs is screened against a fixed bait protein to identify stable complexes. In a proof-of-principle study, C-terminal fragments of the influenza polymerase PB2 subunit containing folded domains were isolated using importin alpha as bait. Separately, a C-terminal fragment of the PB1 subunit was used as bait to trap N-terminal fragments of PB2 resulting in co-folded complexes. Subsequent expression of the target protein without the bait indicates whether the target is independently stable, or co-folds with its partner. This highly automated method provides an efficient strategy for obtaining recombinant protein complexes at yields compatible with structural, biophysical and functional studies.

Medicine ,Science - Abstract
BackgroundThe clinical relevance of MR scanning in children with autism is still an open question and must be considered in light of the evolution of this technology. MRI was judged to be of insufficient value to be included in the standard clinical evaluation of autism according to the guidelines of the American Academy of Neurology and Child Neurology Society in 2000. However, this statement was based on results obtained from small samples of patients and, more importantly, included mostly insufficient MRI sequences. Our main objective was to evaluate the prevalence of brain abnormalities in a large group of children with a non-syndromic autistic disorder (AD) using T1, T2 and FLAIR MRI sequences.MethodologyMRI inspection of 77 children and adolescents with non-syndromic AD (mean age 7.4+/-3.6) was performed. All met the DSM-IV and ADI -R criteria for autism. Based on recommended clinical and biological screenings, we excluded patients with infectious, metabolic or genetic diseases, seizures or any other neurological symptoms. Identical MRI inspections of 77 children (mean age 7.0+/-4.2) without AD, developmental or neurological disorders were also performed. All MRIs were acquired with a 1.5-T Signa GE (3-D T1-FSPGR, T2, FLAIR coronal and axial sequences). Two neuroradiologists independently inspected cortical and sub-cortical regions. MRIs were reported to be normal, abnormal or uninterpretable.Principal findingsMRIs were judged as uninterpretable in 10% (8/77) of the cases. In 48% of the children (33/69 patients), abnormalities were reported. Three predominant abnormalities were observed, including white matter signal abnormalities (19/69), major dilated Virchow-Robin spaces (12/69) and temporal lobe abnormalities (20/69). In all, 52% of the MRIs were interpreted as normal (36/69 patients).ConclusionsAn unexpectedly high rate of MRI abnormalities was found in the first large series of clinical MRI investigations in non-syndromic autism. These results could contribute to further etiopathogenetic research into autism.

O autismo é um transtorno de neurodesenvolvimento com diversas apresentações clínicas. Essas apresentações variam em gravidade (leves a graves) e são denominadas transtornos do espectro do autismo. O sinal mais comum aos transtornos desse espectro é o déficit de interação social, que está associado a déficits de comunicação verbal e não-verbal e a comportamentos estereotipados e repetitivos. Graças a estudos recentes que utilizam métodos de imagem cerebral, os cientistas obtiveram uma idéia melhor dos circuitos neurais envolvidos nos transtornos do espectro do autismo. De fato, os exames de imagem cerebral funcionais, como tomografia por emissão de pósitrons, tomografia por emissão de fóton único e ressonância magnética funcional abriram uma nova perspectiva para o estudo do funcionamento cerebral normal e patológico. Três estudos independentes encontraram anormalidades da anatomia e do funcionamento em repouso do lobo temporal em pacientes autistas. Essas alterações estão localizadas bilateralmente nos sulcos temporais superiores. Essa região anatômica é de grande importância para a percepção de estímulos sociais essenciais. Além disso, estudos funcionais demonstraram hipoativação da maior parte das áreas envolvidas na percepção social (percepção de faces e voz) e cognição social (teoria da mente). Esses dados sugerem um funcionamento anormal da rede de pensamentos do cérebro social no autismo. A compreensão das alterações nesse importante mecanismo pode estimular a elaboração de novas e mais adequadas estratégias sociais de reeducação para pacientes autistas.Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder with a range of clinical presentations. These presentations vary from mild to severe and are referred to as autism spectrum disorders. The most common clinical sign of autism spectrum disorders is social interaction impairment, which is associated with verbal and non-verbal communication deficits and stereotyped and repetitive behaviors. Thanks to recent brain imaging studies, scientists are getting a better idea of the neural circuits involved in autism spectrum disorders. Indeed, functional brain imaging, such as positron emission tomography, single foton emission tomographyand functional MRI have opened a new perspective to study normal and pathological brain functioning. Three independent studies have found anatomical and rest functional temporal lobe abnormalities in autistic patients. These alterations are localized in the superior temporal sulcus bilaterally, an area which is critical for perception of key social stimuli. In addition, functional studies have shown hypoactivation of most areas implicated in social perception (face and voice perception) and social cognition (theory of mind). These data suggest an abnormal functioning of the social brain network in autism. The understanding of the functional alterations of this important mechanism may drive the elaboration of new and more adequate social re-educative strategies for autistic patients.

FREE flaps ,PLASTIC surgery ,VEINS ,JUGULAR vein ,HYPEREMIA - Abstract
The advent of free flaps has made it possible to undertake increasingly complex reconstructive surgeries. Many of the patients have already undergone extensive prior surgery, primary free flap reconstruction and/or cervical irradiation. These treatments strongly impact anatomy and tissue quality. The reconstructive surgeon may be faced with a situation where the choice of recipient vessels is limited; in 7% of cases, no cervical vessels are available at all. For venous anastomosis, branches of the internal and external jugular vein are preferentially used, but may have been ligated or be unusable. Venous congestion is one of the most common causes of failure in these situations. The cephalic vein has been described as an alternative for second anastomosis in first line, but is rarely used for early free-flap salvage. Based on a case study, the technique of cephalic vein transposition is illustrated for early salvage of a double free flap for head-and-neck reconstruction. This technique is simple, reliable and rapid. It should be part of the armamentarium of the head and neck reconstructive surgeon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Autologous fat transfer (AFT) is widely used to improve results of breast reconstructive surgery, but its safety is controversial. Our objective was to evaluate the oncologic safety of AFT in a homogeneous population of patients who underwent a total mastectomy with immediate reconstruction for breast cancer. We performed a retrospective cohort study by identifying all patients who underwent immediate breast reconstruction after mastectomy for breast cancer from 2007 to 2015 in our center. A patient group with AFT performed in the 24 months after mastectomy was compared to a control group. Five hundred fifty cases were included, of whom 136 (24.7%) underwent at least one fat graft transfer. Median age was 51 years. Reconstruction was performed in 465 (84.5%) with an implant reconstruction. The median time from mastectomy to AFT was 13.8 months. The median follow up was 55.2 months. A total of 53 events were observed, including 10 (7.4%) in the AFT group and 43 (10.4%) in the control group. There was no difference in 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) between the groups. In the subgroup analysis, only lymph node involvement in patients who underwent AFT in the first 24 months after oncologic surgery appeared as a risk factor of recurrence. Among the 104 patients with lymph node involvement, 5-year RFS was 69.2% in patients with lipofilling vs 92.5% in patients without it (p = 0 0.0351). Performing early lipofilling in primary breast reconstruction after mastectomy for cancer seems to be oncologically safe. Lymph node involvement increases the risk of recurrence in this population.

- Abstract
ObjectiveEnteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL) is a rare but severe complication of coeliac disease (CeD), often preceded by low-grade clonal intraepithelial lymphoproliferation, referred to as type II refractory CeD (RCDII). Knowledge on underlying oncogenic mechanisms remains scarce. Here, we analysed and compared the mutational landscape of RCDII and EATL in order to identify genetic drivers of CeD-associated lymphomagenesis.DesignPure populations of RCDII-cells derived from intestinal biopsies (n=9) or sorted from blood (n=2) were analysed by whole exome sequencing, comparative genomic hybridisation and RNA sequencing. Biopsies from RCDII (n=50), EATL (n=19), type I refractory CeD (n=7) and uncomplicated CeD (n=18) were analysed by targeted next-generation sequencing. Moreover, functional in vitro studies and drug testing were performed in RCDII-derived cell lines.Results80% of RCDII and 90% of EATL displayed somatic gain-of-functions mutations in the JAK1-STAT3 pathway, including a remarkable p.G1097 hotspot mutation in the JAK1 kinase domain in approximately 50% of cases. Other recurrent somatic events were deleterious mutations in nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B-cells (NF-κB) regulators TNFAIP3 and TNIP3 and potentially oncogenic mutations in TET2, KMT2D and DDX3X. JAK1 inhibitors, and the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib could block survival and proliferation of malignant RCDII-cell lines.ConclusionMutations activating the JAK1-STAT3 pathway appear to be the main drivers of CeD-associated lymphomagenesis. In concert with mutations in negative regulators of NF-κB, they may favour the clonal emergence of malignant lymphocytes in the cytokine-rich coeliac intestine. The identified mutations are attractive therapeutic targets to treat RCDII and block progression towards EATL.
