Abstract
A hospital Cancer Registry has recently been initiated at the Jules Bordet Institute. The collected information allows to report pathology items such as incidence date, site, morphology and stage. It permits to describe the therapeutic choices, which, broken down by organ and stage, can be compared to guidelines in a process assessment. The objectives of this registry are institutional (statistical and organisational finalities as well as quality control ones), extra-institutional (participation to the public network of cancer registration), and scientific (providing the researchers a common database that can be queried using multiple criteria to be completed by further detailed data). This paper reports on 3,587 incident cancer cases in 2000 and 2001 which were managed at the Jules Bordet Institute for the primary episode. Cancers in women represent 64.3% of all records, for only 35.7% of men, while in the Belgian National Cancer Registry, the proportion is reversed to 46.7% of women and 53.3% of men. The distribution of cancer by site is also quite different in our hospital registry where breast cancer in women, melanoma in both sexes, lung cancer and head and neck cancers in men are over-represented compared to the general population, while colorectal cancer is underrepresented in both sexes.

Abstract
Studies of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and nonhuman primate models of pathogenic and nonpathogenic simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) infections have suggested that enhanced ex vivo CD4 T-cell death is a feature of pathogenic infection in vivo. However, the relative contributions of the extrinsic and intrinsic pathways to programmed T-cell death in SIV infection have not been studied. We report here that the spontaneous death rate of CD4+ T cells from pathogenic SIVmac251-infected rhesus macaques ex vivo is correlated with CD4 T-cell depletion and plasma viral load in vivo. CD4+ T cells from SIVmac251-infected macaques showed upregulation of the death ligand (CD95L) and of the proapoptotic proteins Bim and Bak, but not of Bax. Both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from SIVmac251-infected macaques underwent caspase-dependent death following CD95 ligation. The spontaneous death of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells was not prevented by a decoy CD95 receptor or by a broad-spectrum caspase inhibitor (zVAD-fmk), suggesting that this form of cell death is independent of CD95/CD95L interaction and caspase activation. IL-2 and IL-15 prevented the spontaneous death of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, whereas IL-10 prevented only CD8 T-cell death and IL-7 had no effect on T-cell death. Our results indicate that caspase-dependent and caspase-independent pathways are involved in the death of T cells in pathogenic SIVmac251-infected primates.

Abstract
Abstract
Cytokines play an important role in granuloma formation, but the extent that cytokine profiles are similar in different granulomatous diseases and whether differences in the histopathologic features of the granulomatous response results from differences in cytokine production have not been evaluated. To investigate these questions, we used RT-PCR to quantify the expression of mRNAs coding for 16 cytokines in granulomatous lymph nodes from patients with tuberculosis and sarcoidosis and from control tissues, and we sought correlations between the level of expression of these cytokines and the histopathologic features of the granulomas. Expression of mRNAs coding for a number of cytokines (IL-1beta, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, granulocyte-macrophage (GM)-CSF, IL-12 (p40), and lymphotoxin-beta) was increased in tuberculous and sarcoid granulomas compared with that of control tissues. All sarcoid granulomas were shown to express a Th1 pattern of cytokine mRNAs, while tuberculous lymph nodes expressed either a Th1 or a Th0 profile. GM-CSF and lymphotoxin-beta mRNAs were more abundant in sarcoid than in tuberculous granulomas, whereas IL-8 mRNA was strongly expressed only in tuberculous lymph nodes. Strong expression of GM-CSF, TNF-alpha, and IL-8 by granulomas was shown to be correlated, respectively, with the presence of florid granulomatous lesions, the absence of central necrosis, and the presence of neutrophil infiltration. These results demonstrate that the formation of tuberculous and sarcoid granulomas in humans is associated with the expression of characteristic cytokine profiles and indicate that the expression of certain cytokines is associated with the development of specific pathologic features in the resulting granulomas.

Abstract
Langerhans' cell granulomatosis, formerly known as histiocytosis X include several granulomatosis of unknown aetiology. The original pathological finding is a Langerhans' cell granuloma. Recent progress has improved our understanding of the pathogenesis of this group of diseases and facilitated the diagnosis. We describe here the cell populations involved, the general pathology of Langerhans' cells, proposed pathogenesis, and the relationship between Langerhans' cell pulmonary granulomatosis and other localizations of Langerhans' cell granulomatosis. Finally, the clinical manifestations, elements of diagnosis and changing attitudes of current therapy are discussed.

Abstract
The rate of biosynthesis of pyruvate kinase (ATP:pyruvate 2-O-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.40) was compared in cells maintained under normoxic or hypoxic conditions. L8 cells (a myoblast cell line) were pulse-labeled with [3H]leucine and incorporation of radioactivity into pyruvate kinase was measured after quantitative affinity separation with anti-pyruvate kinase monoclonal antibody. During chronic hypoxia there is an increased rate of biosynthesis of pyruvate kinase leading to an increase in enzyme content and augmented glycolytic capacity. An inhibitor of the electron transport chain, antimycin A, was used to determine whether changes in pyruvate kinase content occurring during hypoxia are a result of reduction in molecular oxygen directly or an indirect consequence of oxygen depletion. Pyruvate kinase activity increased during chronic antimycin A exposure under normoxic conditions. The increase was quantitatively accounted for by an increase in cellular pyruvate kinase enzyme content. This suggested that decreases in the levels of molecular O2 are not the direct stimulus for the increased content of pyruvate kinase. It is more likely that the increased pyruvate kinase content results from depressed rates of electron transport through the mitochondrial electron transport chain.
