Abstract
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer of men over 50 years old. Localized prostatic cancer treatment may be responsible of a decline of patient's quality of life. The main actors of treatment are now focused on minimizing functional consequences of treatments. The radiation oncologist has a central role in patient monitoring. The follow-up is codified by official recommendations of learned societies to enhance the post-cancer period. The main objective of this article is to review the recommendations for clinical and biological follow-up. An inventory of the functional consequences of the various treatments will be detailed, and particularly those caused by androgen deprivation therapy, with a review of precautions before implementation, adverse effects and their management, as well as monitoring recommendations. The analysis of quality of life after curative treatment and suggestions to improve monitoring will also be discussed.

Abstract
The use of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has increased rapidly over the past decade. Optimal preservation of normal tissues is a major issue because of their high sensitivity to high doses per session. Extreme hypofractionation can convert random errors into systematic errors. Optimal preservation of organs at risk requires first of all a rigorous implementation of this technique according to published guidelines. The robustness of the imaging modalities used for planning, and training medical and paramedical staff are an integral part of these guidelines too. The choice of SBRT indications, dose fractionation, dose heterogeneity, ballistics, are also means of optimizing the protection of normal tissues. Non-coplanarity and tracking of moving targets allow dosimetric improvement in some clinical settings. Automatic planning could also improve normal tissue protection. Adaptive SBRT, with new image guided radiotherapy modalities such as MRI, could further reduce the risk of toxicity.

Abstract
The 45/47 kDa Apa, an immuno-dominant antigen secreted by Mycobacterium tuberculosis is O-mannosylated at multiple sites. Glycosylation of Apa plays a key role in colonization and invasion of the host cells by M. tuberculosis through interactions of Apa with the host immune system C-type lectins. Mycobacterium marinum (M.ma) a fish pathogen, phylogenetically close to M. tuberculosis, induces a granulomatous response with features similar to those described for M. tuberculosis in human. Although M.ma possesses an Apa homologue, its glycosylation status is unknown, and whether this represents a crucial element in the pathophysiology induced by M.ma remains to be addressed. To this aim, we have identified two concanavalin A-reactive 45/47 kDa proteins from M.ma, which have been further purified by a two-step anion exchange chromatography process. Advanced liquid chromatography-nanoESI mass spectrometry-based proteomic analyses of peptides, derived from either tryptic digestion alone or in combination with the Asp-N endoproteinase, established that M.ma Apa possesses up to seven distinct O-mannosylated sites with mainly single mannose substitutions, which can be further extended at the Ser/Thr/Pro rich region near the N-terminus. This opens the way to further studies focussing on the involvement and biological functions of Apa O-mannosylation using the M.ma/zebrafish model.

Abstract
Individuals in any profession can succumb to chemical abuse. Among the healthcare profession, nurses represent a specific group because of their ease of access to drugs, particularly narcotics. Opioids, potentially highly addictive agents, are usually their drug of choice. Nalbuphine, a synthetic opioid analgesic, is prescribed for moderate-to-severe acute pain, for chronic pain syndromes, and in obstetrics to decrease the adverse respiratory effect of opioid epidural administration. The case of a nurse who was suspected of drug misuse after the disappearance of two nalbuphine ampules in an obstetrics service is described. Because of discrepancies in the results of her blood and urine samples, a sample of head hair was subsequently collected from the nurse. A hair analysis of nalbuphine by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry has not been previously described. Following decontamination and grinding, hair was mixed with a Söerensen buffer, then subjected to ultrasonic treatment (1 h), and extracted with ethyl acetate. A quantitative analysis was performed with two channels (30 and 45 V), and it is based on a m/z 358 for nalbuphine and a m/z 330 for methylclonazepam as an internal standard. The method was linear from 0.020 to 12 ng/mg of hair (R(2) = 0.972), and the limit of detection and limit of quantitation are 0.020 ng/mg. Accuracy (CV), assessed at 0.4 and 1.6 ng/mg of hair, was 6.18% and 5.77%, respectively, for intraday assays and 4.5% and 10.9% for interday assays. Recovery efficiency at 1.6 ng/mg and 8 ng/mg of hair was 100% and 97.4%, respectively. The hair specimen from the nurse (6 cm) was cut into three equal lengths. Nalbuphine, venlafaxine, and nordiazepam were detected. The concentration of nalbuphine was similar in the three hair locks: 5.07, 7.06, and 5.70 ng/mg of hair. A hair analysis revealed the repeated intake of nalbuphine by the nurse. This person was treated for depression for several months with Effexor (venlafaxine) and Nordaz (nordiazepam) prior to the investigation. Hair appears to be a unique matrix to provide evidence for chronic drug exposure by establishing a historic record that is not possible by blood or urine analysis.

Abstract
We determined the effect of low molecular weight components (LMWC) from healthy juvenile and adult Macrobrachium rosenbergii hemolymph on lectin activity and oxidative burst (OB) in hemocytes. In an attempt to identify the LMWC that affect the lectin's hemagglutinating activity or oxidative burst, we determined the hemolymph carbohydrates and free amino acids (FAA) concentration. The LMWC (<2000 Da) were obtained after dialysis of the hemolymph. Our results showed that LMWC from juveniles exerted a greater inhibition on lectin than LMWC from adult hemolymph. Production of superoxide radicals by hemocytes was lower in the presence of juvenile (p<0.05) as compared to adult LMWC. FAA composition of the hemolymph and of LMWC from adults showed higher proportion of alanine (which corresponded to 25% of total FAA) and proline (>20%); whereas, in juveniles, the main FAA identified were glycine (>40%) and alanine (26%). N-Acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) was the main sugar residue in the hemolymph and LMWC from juveniles; its concentration was 2.4 times higher than glucose (Glc), whereas, in adults, Glc was the main free sugar residue. Our results suggest that the proportion of FAA and carbohydrates in the hemolymph of M. rosenbergii seems to be correlated with the maturation process; furthermore, the high proportion of free GlcNAc and glycine regulate, in the juvenile stage, lectin activity and cellular oxidative mechanisms, respectively.

Abstract
We describe here the structural deciphering of four wasp O-glycans. Following purification of a mixture of glycoproteins from nests of the common wasp Vespula germanica L. (Hymenoptera), their substituting O-glycans were liberated by reducing beta-elimination and characterised using a combination of high resolution NMR and mass spectrometry analyses. Besides ubiquitously found in the insect cells GalNAc-ol and Gal(beta1-3)GalNAc-ol compounds, two novel O-glycans carrying a 2-aminoethyl phosphate group were described for the first time here. We suggest that they present the following structures: Etn-P-(O-->6)-GalNAc-ol and Etn-P-(O-->6)-[Gal(beta1-3)]GalNAc-ol. In conjunction with previous studies, these results suggest that a 2-aminoethyl phosphate group may act as an alternative to sialic acid for conferring charges to glycoproteins.

Abstract
An enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay was developed to quantify the lectin present in the hemolymph of the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii. This method involves the use of murine monoclonal IgG1 with kappa light chain (designated as 3G1) antibodies raised against the purified lectin, the assay that we developed recognized as little as 30 ng/ml of lectin, and was used to measure the lectin concentration in animals at different maturation stages. The highest concentration of lectin was identified in the hemolymph from post-larval prawns and the lowest in molt stage adult animals. The hemagglutination activity of the lectin was four-fold higher in adult than in juvenile specimens, although in all cases N-acetylated sugar residues, such as N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, and N-acetyl-D-neuraminic acid were inhibitors of the lectin activity, suggesting that lectin plays a role in the transport of N-acetylated sugar in juvenile prawns. Our results indicate that lectin concentration and hemagglutinating activity could be influenced by developmental conditions of the freshwater prawn.

Abstract
A new enzyme has been characterized in a cell-free extract of Bifidobacterium bifidum that catalysed the reversible phosphorolytic cleavage of beta-1,3-galacto-oligosaccharides. In the presence of Pi, the phosphorolysis reaction was favoured and was accompanied by a Walden reaction. Cleavage of the beta-glycosidic linkage gave an alpha-galactoside derivative (alpha-D-galactose 1-phosphate). The enzyme possesses a high specificity for beta-D-galactosido-(1, 3)-N-acetylglucosamine and beta-D-galactosido-(1, 3)-N-acetylgalactosamine. This purified intracellular enzyme had an estimated molecular mass of 140 kDa. The galactophosphorolytic activity on disaccharides was optimal at pH 6-6.5 and the reverse reaction was optimal at pH 5.5-6. The temperature optimum for phosphorolysis and the reverse reaction was approx. 50-55 degrees C. This enzyme is of particular interest in degrading some beta-D-Gal(1, 3) linkages and should be classified as EC 2.4.1.-.

Abstract
Sugar uptake was measured with 3H-galactose and 14C-glucose. Galactose transport system was not modified by inhibitors of known translocases and did not present a saturation kinetic with high concentration of galactose. Glucose incorporation was inhibited by lasalocid (cation symport inhibitor) and increased by KCl. The kinetic parameters KM and Vmax were respectively 9.16 mM and 26.56 nmol/min/mg cell protein. On the basis of this study, galactose crossed through the membrane by diffusion, and glucose was incorporated by a cation symport which is regulated by K+ ions.

Abstract
Lactose was fermented but not assimilated by the strain Bifidobacterium bifidum DSM 20082. The sugar uptake was measured with lactose 14C. Km and V(max) values were respectively 2.6 mM and 12.11 nmol/min/mg of cell protein. The lactose transport system and the beta-D-galactosidase were stimulated when the cells were grown with lactose, but isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside had no effect. Lactose uptake was inhibited by compounds which interfered with proton and metal ionophore. Na+, Li+, or K+ did not affect incorporation of lactose. Furthermore, the lactose uptake decreased when an inhibitor of ATP synthesis was used. From the results of this study, the stain contained an active lactose transport system, probably a proton symport as described for Escherichia coli but with a different regulation system.

Abstract
During a systematic study of carbohydrate material present in human meconium, in addition to the previously described mucins, glycolipids and free oligosaccharides, we have now characterized a significant quantity of free glycoasparagines. These glycoasparagines have been isolated from human meconium by a combination of ion-exchange, concanavalin A (ConA)-affinity and high-performance liquid (HPLC) chromatographies. Their structures have been established by 400 MHz 1H-NMR spectroscopy. These compounds are related to N-acetyllactosaminic type structures and are based on the common core: [formula: see text] These glycoasparagines are probably derived from both protease and partial exoglycosidase hydrolysis of fetal gastrointestinal N-glycosyl proteins. Their structures are discussed in the context of the known catabolic pathways of N-glycans.

Abstract
We have previously shown that an endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (EC 3.2.1.96) named "Endo B", isolated from culture filtrates of the basidiomycete Sporotrichum dimorphosporum cleaves asialo-, and to some extent, monosialylated bi-antennary glycans of the N-acetyllactosamine type linked to the asparagine residue of peptide or protein moieties [Bouquelet S, Strecker G, Montreuil J, Spik G (1980) Biochimie 62:43-49]. In the present paper, the substrate specificity of the enzyme towards oligomannoside and hybrid type glycans has been analyzed. The results obtained indicate that ovalbumin glycopeptides containing four to seven mannose residues and bovine lactotransferrin glycopeptides containing four to nine mannose residues were completely hydrolyzed by the enzyme. The degree of cleavage was variable among hybrid type structures, since glycopeptides containing the following glycans: (Gal)1(GlcNAc)3(Man)5(GlcNAc)2; (GlcNAc)3(Man)5(GlcNAc)2;(GlcNAc)3(Man)4(GlcNAc)2 were not hydrolyzed by the enzyme while the percentage of hydrolysis of a glycopeptide containing (GlcNAc)2(Man)5(GlcNAc)2 glycan reached 90%. The bovine lactotransferrin was partially deglycosylated (40%) in the absence of non-ionic detergent while native ovalbumin glycoprotein was not hydrolyzed by the enzyme. The oligomannoside- and the N-acetyllactosamine-type degrading activities present in the culture filtrates were not separated at any step of the purification procedure. Both activities were eluted as a single component with an apparent molecular mass of 89 kDa suggesting that they are located on the same enzyme molecule. Endo B represents a powerful tool for removing oligomannoside- and N-acetyllactosamine-type glycans from N-glycopeptides and N-glycoproteins. Moreover, advantages in the use of Endo B in a soluble form as well as in an immobilized form result in its high activity and in its stability to heat denaturation and storage.
