Abstract
Cocaine blocks uptake by neuronal plasma membrane transporters for dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine, producing subjective effects in humans that are both euphoric/rewarding and also fearful, jittery and aversive. Mice with gene knockouts of each of these transporters display cocaine reward, manifest by cocaine place preferences that are at least as great as wildtype values. Norepinephrine and serotonin receptor knockouts even display enhanced cocaine reward. One explanation for these observations could be that cocaine produces aversive or anhedonic effects by serotonin or norepinephrine receptor blockade in wildtype mice that are removed in serotonin or norepinephrine receptor knockouts, increasing net cocaine reward. Adaptations to removing one transporter could also change the rewarding valence of blocking the remaining transporters. To test these ideas, drugs that block serotonin transporter (fluoxetine), norepinephrine transporter (nisoxetine) or all three transporters (cocaine) were examined in single- or multiple-transporter knockout mice. Fluoxetine and nisoxetine acquire rewarding properties in several knockouts that are not observed in wildtype mice. Adding serotonin transporter knockout to norepinephrine transporter knockouts dramatically potentiates cocaine reward. These and previous data provide evidence that serotonin and norepinephrine transporter blockade can contribute to the net rewarding valence of cocaine. They identify neuroadaptations that may help to explain the retention of cocaine reward by dopamine and serotonin transporter knockout mice. They are consistent with emerging hypotheses that actions at the three primary brain molecular targets for cocaine each provide distinct contributions to cocaine reward and cocaine aversion in wildtype mice, and that this balance changes in mice that develop without dopamine, norepinephrine or serotonin transporters.

Abstract
Proteomics based approaches, which examine the expressed proteins of a tissue or cell type, complement the genome initiatives and are increasingly used to address biomedical questions. Proteins are the main functional output, and post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation are very important in determining protein function. To address this question, we developed a method for specific immunoprecipitation using anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies. This method is directly compatible with two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). In this report data are presented on B-lymphoblasts from a patient suffering of Scott syndrome. Scott syndrome is an orphan inherited hemorrhagic disorder due to a lack of exposure of procoagulant phosphatidylserine at the exoplasmic leaflet of plasma membrane of blood cells. We hypothesized that a consequence of the mutation is to alter phosphorylation of proteins involved in signal transduction leading to breakdown in cellular signaling pathways mediating phosphatidylserine exposure. An immunoprecipitation method combined with 2-DE was applied to search for modifications in the expression of phosphorylated polypeptides related to Scott syndrome phenotype. We report here the construction of a B-lymphoblast subproteomic map comprising of polypeptides observed after immunoprecipitation using antibodies to phosphotyrosine. The polypeptides were identified either by mass fingerprinting, by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and/or by matching with various lymphoid cell 2-DE maps included in the Laboratoire de Biochimie des Protéines et Protéomique 2-DE database. A differential analysis was further performed to explore several hundred proteins in Scott B-lymphoblasts in comparison with control B-lymphoblasts. Then, image analysis allowed detection of variations between control and Scott syndrome phenotype lymphoblasts. Five spots were specifically found on 2-DE from Scott syndrome phenotype lymphoblasts, and four only appeared on 2-DE from control cells. Protein identification was achieved using a combination of mass fingerprinting and peptide identification using LC-MS/MS.

Abstract
Galectin-1 (Gal-1) is an endogenous mammalian S-type lectin with highly pleiotropic effect on different tissues. The viability of the lymphoid cells is reduced by gal-1 by triggering apoptosis, however, the mechanism of the gal-1 induced apoptosis is still under investigation. The receptor tyrosine phosphatase, CD45, a heavily glycosylated cell surface molecule binds to gal-1 with high affinity, however, its contribution to the gal-1 induced apoptosis is still controversial. In this study we show that galectin-1 binds to cells deficient for CD45, although CD45 is one of the galectin-1-binding cell surface proteins on T cells. Moreover, the CD45 deficient Jurkat variant, J45.01 responds readily with tyrosine phosphorylation and subsequent apoptosis to galectin-1 treatment in a similar degree as its wild type counterpart, Jurkat does. These results strongly indicate that CD45 is not the receptor via gal-1 mediates the apoptotic signal into the cells as it was suggested in previous studies.

Abstract
Advances in genomics have led to the accumulation of an unprecedented amount of data, giving rise to a new field in biochemistry, proteomics. We used a combination of two dimensional gel electrophoresis, analysis and annotation using third-generation software, and mass spectrometry to establish the proteome maps of lymphoblastoid B-cells, a prerequisite for analysis of drug effects and lymphocyte cell diseases. About 1200 protein spots were detected and characterised in terms of their isoelectric point, molecular mass and expression. The present status of proteomic technologies, as well as a description of the usefulness of human hematopoietic cells proteomic database are discussed.

Abstract
Insulin resistance is a common metabolic disorder. It plays an important role in the metabolic syndrome (or syndrome X), type 2 diabetes, obesity and in the lipodystrophic syndromes recently described, associated with treatments of HIV disease and represent a worrying cardiovascular risk. However, its pathophysiology remains poorly understood in these situations. Syndromes of major insulin resistance, although rare, allow investigations of the mechanisms leading to alterations in the insulin transduction pathways. Mutations of the insulin receptor gene have been discovered in rare patients. Therefore alterations at the post-receptor level are probably causative in other cases. Furthermore, the role of body fat repartition seems determinant in the apparition of insulin resistance, as attested by the clinical characteristics of lipodystrophies, either congenital or acquired. The two lipodystrophic syndromes which molecular defect is identified are the familial partial lipodystrophy of the Dunnigan type, due to mutations of the lamin A/C gene, and the congenital generalized lipodystrophy, linked to alterations in the protein seipin. However, their physiopathology remains mysterious. Lamin A/C is indeed an ubiquitous nuclear protein, which is also mutated in a genetic squelettic and/or cardiac myopathy, and seipin is a protein of unknown function mainly expressed in brain. Progresses in the understanding of these syndromes, in particular lipodystrophies which can be considered as caricatural models of the metabolic syndrome, will probably allow to clarify the physiopathology of the more common forms of insulin resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: 5-AzaCytidine (AzaC) is a DNA demethylating drugs that has been shown to inhibit cell growth and to induce apoptosis in certain cancer cells. Induced expression of the galectin1 (Gal1) protein, a galactoside-binding protein distributed widely in immune cells, has been described in cultured hepatoma-derived cells treated with AzaC and this event may have a role in the effect of the drug. According to this hypothesis, we investigated the effect of AzaC and Gal1 on human lymphoid B cells phenotype. METHODS: The effect of AzaC and Gal1 on cell growth and phenotype was determined on the Burkitt lymphoma cell line BL36. An immunocytochemical analysis for detection of Gal1 protein expression was performed in AzaC-treated cells. To investigate the direct effects of Gal1, recombinant Gal1 was added to cells. RESULTS: Treatment of lymphoid B cells with AzaC results in: i) a decrease in cell growth with an arrest of the cell cycle at G0/G1 phase, ii) phenotypic changes consistent with a differentiated phenotype, and iii) the expression of p16, a tumor-suppressor gene whose expression was dependent of its promoter demethylation, and of Gal1. A targeting of Gal 1 to the plasma membrane follows its cytosolic expression. To determine which of the effects of AzaC might be secondary to the induction of Gal1, recombinant Gal1 was added to BL36 cells. Treated cells displayed growth inhibition and phenotypic changes consistent with a commitment toward differentiation. CONCLUSIONS: Altered cell growth and expression of the cell surface plasma cell antigen, CD138 are detectable in BL36 cells treated by AzaC as well as by Gal1. It seems that AzaC-induced Gal1 expression and consequent binding of Gal1 on its cell membrane receptor may be, in part, involved in AzaC-induced plasmacytic differentiation.

Abstract
Hypermethylation is an important mechanism for repression of tumor gene suppressor in cancer. The drug 5'-azacytidine (AZC) has been used as demethylating agent to induce the expression of previously silencing genes. In the present work, we attempted to determine, using proteomics, the changes in protein expression profiles following a treatment of an Epstein Barr virus (EBV)-negative Burkitt lymphoma (BL) cell line DG 75. The effects of the treatment in terms of cell viability and growth were first examined. The following observations were made: AZC treatment led to (i) a decrease in cell growth with an arrest of the cell at G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle, (ii) the expression of p16, a tumor-suppressor gene whose expression was dependent on its promoter demethylation. Proteomic study evidenced that AZC treatment affected protein expression in two different ways. Twenty-one polypeptides were down-expressed, while 14 showed an increased expression. Some of the upregulated proteins appeared related to the energy metabolism, to organization of cytoskeletal structures, and to cell viability and protein synthesis. We also established a reference map for proteins in DG 75 cell line, comprising 74 different polypeptides corresponding to 67 proteins. This map will be accessible via Internet as a resource for proteome analyses of B-cells. Taken together, the results presented here highlight new insights into lymphoma cell gene regulations following a treatment of lymphoma cells with AZC and illustrate a use of proteomics to evidence the direct and indirect effects of a drug and the pathways it possibly regulates.

Abstract
Protease inhibitors used in the treatment of HIV infection have been causally associated with lipodystrophy and insulin resistance and were shown to alter adipocyte differentiation in cultured cells. We aimed to delineate the mechanism by which indinavir impaired adipocyte function. We report that indinavir altered neither the growth nor insulin sensitivity of 3T3-F442A preadipocytes, nor did it alter the initial step of their differentiation, i.e., clonal proliferation. However, adipose conversion was inhibited by indinavir (by 50-60%), as shown by 1) the decrease in the number of newly formed adipocytes; 2) the lower level of the adipogenic protein markers, sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 (SREBP-1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma), and the insulin receptor (IR); and 3) the lack of SREBP-1 and PPAR-gamma immunoreactivity in the nucleus of most indinavir-treated cells. Partial adipose conversion also correlated with an accumulation of SREBP-1 at the nuclear periphery and an alteration in its electrophoretic mobility. Defective expression and nuclear localization of PPAR-gamma probably resulted from the decreased level of nuclear SREBP-1. Indinavir also rendered 3T3-F442A adipocytes resistant to insulin for mitogen-activated protein kinase activation at a step distal to IR substrate-1 tyrosine phosphorylation. Hence, indinavir impairs differentiation at an early step of adipose conversion probably involving the process controlling SREBP-1 intranuclear localization.

Abstract
Children with an uncomplicated femoral fracture, treated with superimposition of fragments and intentional shortening, usually develop overgrowth of the fractured femur and the ipsilateral tibia which may compensate for the initial shortening and enable the limb in question to reach a length similar to that on the normal side. The overgrowth is evaluated clinically and by scanography. The increased metabolic activity of the growth plates that support this overgrowth has not been documented by any laboratory method. In order to evaluate the metabolic activity of the growth plates, 18 patients (11 males, seven females; mean age 6.1 years) with fractures of the femur were studied at three different time intervals (2-5 months, 6-12 months and 18-24 months). Three-phase bone scintigraphy was performed in all patients. Ten children (five males, five females; mean age 7.5 years) who had had bone imaging for other reasons were used as the control group. Visual analysis of the flow and equilibrium phases was performed for the distal femoral and proximal tibial growth plates. Visual and semi-quantitative analyses of the delayed images were performed for the distal femoral and proximal and distal tibial growth plates. Semi-quantitative analyses yielded the following activity ratios: (a) the distal femoral growth plate of the fractured femur to the contralateral one (FR); (b) the proximal growth plate of the tibia on the side of the fractured femur to the contralateral one (TpR); (c) the distal growth plate of the tibia on the side of the fractured femur to the contralateral one (TdR); and (d) in the control group, the distal growth plates of both femora (FCG) and the proximal (TCGp) and distal (TCGd) growth plates of the tibiae. Visual analysis of the blood flow, equilibrium and delayed images showed increased activity in the distal femoral growth plates during the first and second time intervals, but not during the third. No significant activity changes were found in the proximal and distal tibial growth plates during any of the phases analysed. The mean and standard deviation for FR in the three time intervals were: FRI=1.22+/-0.27, FRII=1.17+/-0.16 and FRIII=1.09+/-0.20. FR values were significantly higher than in the control group (FCG=0.99+/-0.03) (P=0.033). The mean and standard deviation for TpR in the three time intervals were: TpRI=1.08+/-0.18, TpRII=0.94+/-0.09 and TpRIII=0.96+/-0.20. TpR values were not significantly different from those in the control group (TCGp=1.00+/-0.05). However, TpRI was significantly higher than TpRII (P=0.043). The mean and standard deviation for TdR in the three time intervals were: TdRI=1.10+/-0.41, TdRII=1.05+/-0.15 and TdRIII=1.13+/-0.36. TdR values were not significantly higher than in the control group (TCGd=1.00+/-0.04) (P=0.777). These results support the concept that three-phase bone imaging is able to quantify and determine that activation occurs in the distal femoral and proximal tibial growth plates of fractured femora. This phenomenon may explain the overgrowth observed in this injured bone structure.

Abstract
Lymphoblastoid cell lines correspond to in vitro EBV-immortalized lymphocyte B-cells. These cells display a suitable model for experiments dealing with changes in protein expression occurring upon B-cell differentiation, after drug treatment, or after inhibition of some transcription factors. For all these reasons we have undertaken an effort aimed at developing a hematopoietic cell line protein two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) database, containing B-lymphoblastoid 2-DE maps. In this work, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) peptide mass fingerprinting analysis was adopted for protein identification. The peptide mass fingerprinting identification and the sequence coverage obtained on colloidal Coomassie blue (CBB) stained gel was close to that obtained using zinc-imidazole staining. Everything considered, CBB being more comfortable for subsequent spot manipulations, CBB staining was chosen for identification of a larger number of polypeptides. The results suggest that reticulation of the gel can interfere preventing the uptake of the enzyme during the in-gel digestion step. Consequently, low molecular mass proteins appear more difficult to identify by mass fingerprinting. Finally, the information provided in this study allows the construction of a new annoted reference map of human lymphoblastoid cell proteins. Among the identified proteins 60% were not yet positioned on 2-DE maps in three of the most important well-documented databases. The annoted map will be accessible via Internet on the LBPP server at URL:http:// www-smbh.univ-paris13.fr/lbtp/index.htm.

Abstract
Previous studies suggest that the effects of ethanol on carbachol-stimulated I(1,4,5)P3 formation and on the number of mAChRs may be independent of each other. The aim of this work was to further study this hypothesis. Human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells were used as a model system. Acute exposure of the cells to 100 mM ethanol induced a decrease in [3H]N-methylscopolamine ([3H]NMS) binding at 30 seconds which was of lower magnitude and of shorter duration than the previously described ethanol-induced inhibition of the peak of carbachol-stimulated I(1,4,5)P3 formation. Long-term ethanol treatment of the cells induced a time- and concentration-dependent increase in [3H]NMS binding. Three hours of 100 mM ethanol treatment were sufficient to increase the number of mAChRs at the cell surface but these receptors were not immediately functionally active, suggesting that they may be newly synthesized. Furthermore, the ethanol-induced potentiation of carbachol-stimulated I(1,4,5)P3 formation, after two days, was, for all ethanol concentrations tested, of higher magnitude than the ethanol-induced increase in mAChR number. Together, these data indicate that both acute and chronic ethanol-induced changes in carbachol-stimulated I(1,4,5)P3 formation may not only be explained by changes in mAChR density at the cell surface but may rather be the consequence of actions of ethanol down-stream of the receptor.

Abstract
It has been well established that Galectin-1 (GAL1), a beta-galactoside-binding protein, regulates the viability of lymphoid cells. However, the signaling pathway governed by the binding of GAL1 to the cell membrane is not understood. As a first step towards the elucidation of GAL1-initiated signaling events leading to a reduced viability of Burkitt lymphoma B cells, we tried to characterize the initial events induced by the binding of GAL1 to its receptor. This characterization was performed in BL36 cells, a Burkitt lymphoma cell line sensitive to GAL1. The results were as follows: (1) when solubilized cell membrane lysates were affinity bound to immobilized GAL1 and eluted by competition, the tyrosine phosphatase glyco-protein CD45 was found in the eluate, highlighting the role of CD45 as a receptor of GAL1; (2) the phosphatase activity of cell membranes diminished after incubation with GAL1; (3) immunoprecipitation experiments demonstrated that the phosphotyrosine kinase Lyn was dysregulated in cells that have been cultured in medium containing 700 nM GAL1, and (4) that the ratio between two isoforms of Lyn was modified during the treatment with GAL1. The regulation of Lyn therefore seems to be a key event in the action of GAL1.

Abstract
We previously reported that long term treatment with insulin led to sustained inhibition of c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNKs) in CHO cells overexpressing insulin receptors. Here we investigated the signaling molecules involved in insulin inhibition of JNKs, focusing on phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-K) and mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1). In addition, we examined the relevance of JNK inhibition for insulin-mediated proliferation and survival. Insulin inhibition of JNKs was mediated by PI 3-K, as it was blocked by wortmannin and LY294002 and required the de novo synthesis of a phosphatase(s), as it was abolished by orthovanadate and actinomycin D. MKP-1 was a good candidate because 1) insulin stimulation of MKP-1 expression correlated with insulin inhibition of JNKs; 2) insulin stimulation of MKP-1 expression, like insulin inhibition of JNKs, was mediated by PI 3-K; and 3) the transient expression of an antisense MKP-1 RNA reduced the insulin inhibitory effect on JNKs. The overexpression of a dominant negative JNK1 mutant increased insulin stimulation of DNA synthesis and mimicked the protective effect of insulin against serum withdrawal-induced apoptosis. The overexpression of wild-type JNK1 or antisense MKP-1 RNA reduced the proliferative and/or antiapoptotic responses to insulin. Altogether, these results demonstrate that insulin inhibits JNKs through a PI 3-K- and MKP-1-dependent pathway and provide evidence for a key role for JNK inhibition in insulin regulation of proliferation and survival.

Abstract
Galectin-1 (GAL1) is a beta-galactoside-binding protein that has been implicated in the regulation of viability of lymphoid cells. However, the signaling pathway governed by the binding of GAL1 to the cell membrane is not understood yet. As a first step toward the elucidation of GAL1-initiated signaling events, electrophoresis techniques such as sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) were used together with precipitation techniques. This allowed us to identify the membrane receptor of GAL1, and to characterize the signal resulting from the binding of GAL1 to this receptor. Our results demonstrate that the tyrosine phosphatase CD45 is the receptor for GAL1, and that the src-type tyrosine kinase Lyn is a target for the effects of GAL1/CD45 interactions in B-cells. Furthermore, these results show the usefulness of combined precipitation and electrophoresis techniques to analyze phosphotyrosine-dependent mechanisms during the study of cell functions.

Abstract
We report here that antiinsulin receptor (anti-IR) autoantibodies (AIRs) from a newly diagnosed patient with type B syndrome of insulin resistance induced cellular resistance not only to insulin but also to insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) for the stimulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and mitogen-activated protein kinase activities and of glycogen and DNA syntheses. The molecular mechanisms of this dual resistance were investigated. Patient AIRs bound the IR at the insulin-binding site and caused insulin resistance at the IR level by inducing a 50% decrease in cell surface IRs and a severe defect in the tyrosine kinase activity of the residual IRs, manifested by a loss of insulin-stimulated IR autophosphorylation and IR substrate-1 (IRS-1)/IRS-2 phosphorylation. In contrast, cell resistance to IGF-I occurred at a step distal to IGF-I receptors (IGF-IRs), as AIRs altered neither IGF-I binding nor IGF-I-induced IGF-IR autophosphorylation, but inhibited the ability of IGF-IRs to mediate tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 and IRS-2 in response to IGF-I. Coimmunoprecipitation assays showed that in AIR-treated cells, IRs, but not IGF-IRs, were constitutively associated with IRS-1 and IRS-2, strongly suggesting that AIR-desensitized IRs impeded IGF-I action by sequestering IRS-1 and IRS-2. Accordingly, AIRs had no effect on the stimulation of mitogen-activated protein kinase activity or DNA synthesis by vanadyl sulfate, FCS, epidermal growth factor, or platelet-derived growth factor, all of which activate signaling pathways independent of IRS-1/IRS-2. Thus, AIRs induced cell resistance to both insulin and IGF-I through a novel mechanism involving a constitutive and stable association of IRS-1 and IRS-2 with the IR.

Abstract
The technical aspects of fusion of the rheumatoid ankle do not deviate from those in the post-traumatic or osteoarthritic ankle. Screw fixation can usually be achieved, and rarely is fixation failure a problem in rheumatoid ankle arthrodesis. If fixation is difficult because of deformity or bone quality, external fixation or locking intramedullary nails should be used. The placement of cannulated screws and adequacy of screw fixation has not been a problem (Fig. 13). Screw fixation provides compression and prevents rotation. The surgeon, however, needs to be assured that no screws invade the subtalar joint and that all threads are beyond the arthrodesis site. A washer may be necessary for further stability if this screw is not inserted at too great an angle. The authors have found that troughing out of the cortical surface of the tibia with a power bur aids in screw insertion. Not only does the trough act as a countersink, but it also provides a path for screw insertion and prevents palpable screw irritation. Malalignment is unforgiving. The foot must be placed neutral to dorsiflexion and plantarflexion. Equinus positioning places added stress on the tibia and a back-knee gait occurs. Approximately 5 degrees of valgus is recommended, and varus positioning is unforgiving. Internal and external rotation is determined by the position of the contralateral extremity. Nonunion does not seem to be a problem with rigid internal fixation to any greater degree in patients with RA. Despite this, patients may continue to have pain despite solid fusion, which can be caused by incomplete correction of deformity, painful internal fixation, or adjacent joint pathology. Additionally, patients may experience supramalleolar pain above the fusion site consistent with tibial stress fracture, which is more common if the subtalar or midtarsal joint is rigid or if the patient is obese. A rocker sole shoe with impact-absorbing soles used after brief periods of guarded mobilization in a removable walking cast alleviates this stress on the tibia. Neurovascular insult can be avoided with careful dissection direct to bone, incisions placed in nerve-free zones, and avoidance of plunging deep posteriorly-medially and anteriorly when dissecting and resecting surfaces. Arthrodesis of the tibiotalar joint in the patient with RA should be performed to relieve severe pain caused by advanced arthrosis. Achieving a solid arthrodesis does not seem to be a problem and provides the patient with pain relief; however, marked improvement in patient function and level of activity remains limited by the nature of RA and adjacent joint involvement.

Abstract
Strategies are needed for conclusive interpretation of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-D PAGE) maps in order to identify pertinent differences in protein expression during regulation of the transcription of discrete sets of genes. The model used in this study was a human lymphoblastoid cell line in which a functional repression of the transcription factors NFkappaB was obtained by induction of overexpression of IkappaBalpha, a physiological inhibitor of NFkappaB. The analytical methodology used relies on the comparison of two sets of 2-D PAGE maps for detecting differences in protein expression between samples overexpressing or not overexpressing IkappaBalpha. The analysis was based on a combination of an automatic computerized analysis, constituting an actual aid for deciding, and of an interactive visual validation, corresponding to the interpretation of computer propositions. This strategy is proposed as a rapid way to detect potential variations in protein expression applicable to any biological model. In this study, correspondence analysis data made it possible to discrimate between the samples overexpressing or not overexpressing IkappaBalpha, and pointed out some of the potential meaningful spots characterizing the samples in which NFkappaB was active. Then, after visual validation of the computer data, 53 polypeptides were considered to be different in the two classes of gels. Five polypeptides were specifically found in both samples overexpressing IkappaBalpha. The overexpression of IkappaB also induced a lower expression of 11 polypeptides. Finally, 15 polypeptides were only expressed in samples in which IkappaBalpha was not overexpressed and, consequently, in which NFkappaB factors were active. Thus, these polypeptides are candidates for further analysis as putative target gene products of NFkappaB.

Abstract
PURPOSE Limb-threatening ischemia in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) represents a challenging clinical problem. Multiple series have shown the inferior limb salvage rate for femoropopliteal or femorotibial bypass grafts in this group. This outcome study is restricted to those patients with ESRD who require pedal bypass grafts for attempted limb salvage. METHODS Between December 1, 1990, and December 31, 1997, 34 patients with ESRD underwent pedal bypass grafting on 41 limbs. This review explores the patient and bypass graft outcomes and their relationships to typical risk factors. RESULTS The average age in the study was 64 years (range, 39 to 85 years). Twenty patients (59%) were men, 31 (91%) had diabetes, 32 (94%) were hypertensive, and 28 (82%) had coronary artery disease, but only 10 patients (29%) were smokers. All the patients were undergoing dialysis except 2 patients with functioning renal transplants. All bypass grafting procedures were performed for limb salvage. The follow-up periods ranged from 1 to 84 months (average, 13.5 months). With life-table analysis, the cumulative assisted primary patency rate was 62% at 1 year and 62% at 2 years. The limb salvage rate was 56% and 50% at 1 and 2 years, respectively. All the patients who were seen with heel gangrene had early limb loss or died. Seven of the 16 amputations (44%) were performed despite patent bypass grafts. Ten of the 16 amputations (63%) occurred within 3 months of the surgery. The survival rate was 64% at 1 year and 52% at 2 years. After the bypass graft procedure, the mean ankle brachial index and the toe pressure rose from 0.48 to 1.05 and 18 to 86, respectively. CONCLUSION Modest success can be expected with pedal bypass grafts in patients with ESRD, with most failures occurring in the first 3 months. Limb salvage rates lag behind graft patency rates because of progressive necrosis despite a hemodynamically functioning bypass graft. Heel gangrene is a strong predictor for a negative outcome. Lastly, overall patient survival rates are poor but comparable with the rates of other patients with ESRD.

Abstract
OBJECT To determine the extent and duration of change in extracellular glutamate levels after human traumatic brain injury (TBI), 17 severely brain injured adults underwent implantation of a cerebral microdialysis probe and systematic sampling was conducted for 1 to 9 days postinjury. METHODS A total of 772 hourly microdialysis samples were obtained in 17 patients (median Glasgow Coma Scale score 5+/-2.5, mean age 39.4+/-20.4 years). The mean (+/-standard deviation) glutamate levels in the dialysate were evaluated for 9 days, during which the mean peak concentration reached 25.4+/-13.7 microM on postinjury Day 3. In each patient transient elevations in glutamate were seen each day. However, these elevations were most commonly seen on Day 3. In all patients there was a mean of 4.5+/-2.5 transient elevations in glutamate lasting a mean duration of 4.4+/-4.9 hours. These increases were seen in conjunction with seizure activity. However, in many seizure-free patients the increase in extracellular glutamate occurred when cerebral perfusion pressure was less than 70 mm Hg (p < 0.001). Given the potential injury-induced uncoupling of cerebral blood flow and metabolism after TBI, these increases in extracellular glutamate may reflect a degree of enhanced cellular crisis, which in severe head injury in humans appears to last up to 9 days. CONCLUSIONS Extracellular neurochemical measurements of excitatory amino acids may provide a marker for secondary insults that can compound human TBI.

Abstract
The potential of bioaffinity chromatography as a tool for study of biological recognition mechanisms is gaining increasing recognition. Biochromatographic methods allow the separation of proteins according to both the structure of their polypeptidic chain and their post-translational modifications. Among the various post-translational modifications which proteins undergo, glycosylation has conducted to the development of original methods (glycotechnologies). This review discusses the applications of glycotechnologies in bioaffinity chromatography, and particularly the use of biochromatography to elucidate mechanisms involved in glycobiology.

Abstract
Antisera raised against galectin-1 exhibit crossreactivities with other galectins or related molecules. In order to overcome this problem, a monoclonal antibody to human brain galectin-1 was obtained by selecting clones without reactivity toward galectin-3. This mAb specifically bound galectin-1 of various animal origins but neither galectin-2 nor galectin-3. Western-blotting analysis of soluble human brain extracts after 2D gel electrophoresis revealed only the two most acidic isoforms of galectin-1. The ability of this mAb to bind galectin-1/asialofetuin complexes indicates that its epitope is not localized in the carbohydrate recognition domain of galectin-1. This particularity induces with efficiency its monospecificity.
