Abstract
BACKGROUND Access to reliable and accurate digital health web-based resources is crucial. However, the lack of dedicated search engines for non-English languages, such as French, is a significant obstacle in this field. Thus, we developed and implemented a multilingual, multiterminology semantic search engine called Catalog and Index of Digital Health Teaching Resources (CIDHR). CIDHR is freely accessible to everyone, with a focus on French-speaking resources. CIDHR has been initiated to provide validated, high-quality content tailored to the specific needs of each user profile, be it students or professionals. OBJECTIVE This study's primary aim in developing and implementing the CIDHR is to improve knowledge sharing and spreading in digital health and health informatics and expand the health-related educational community, primarily French speaking but also in other languages. We intend to support the continuous development of initial (ie, bachelor level), advanced (ie, master and doctoral levels), and continuing training (ie, professionals and postgraduate levels) in digital health for health and social work fields. The main objective is to describe the development and implementation of CIDHR. The hypothesis guiding this research is that controlled vocabularies dedicated to medical informatics and digital health, such as the Medical Informatics Multilingual Ontology (MIMO) and the concepts structuring the French National Referential on Digital Health (FNRDH), to index digital health teaching and learning resources, are effectively increasing the availability and accessibility of these resources to medical students and other health care professionals. METHODS First, resource identification is processed by medical librarians from websites and scientific sources preselected and validated by domain experts and surveyed every week. Then, based on MIMO and FNRDH, the educational resources are indexed for each related knowledge domain. The same resources are also tagged with relevant academic and professional experience levels. Afterward, the indexed resources are shared with the digital health teaching and learning community. The last step consists of assessing CIDHR by obtaining informal feedback from users. RESULTS Resource identification and evaluation processes were executed by a dedicated team of medical librarians, aiming to collect and curate an extensive collection of digital health teaching and learning resources. The resources that successfully passed the evaluation process were promptly included in CIDHR. These resources were diligently indexed (with MIMO and FNRDH) and tagged for the study field and degree level. By October 2023, a total of 371 indexed resources were available on a dedicated portal. CONCLUSIONS CIDHR is a multilingual digital health education semantic search engine and platform that aims to increase the accessibility of educational resources to the broader health care-related community. It focuses on making resources "findable," "accessible," "interoperable," and "reusable" by using a one-stop shop portal approach. CIDHR has and will have an essential role in increasing digital health literacy.

Abstract
AIM It is not known whether patients with obstructive left colon cancer (OLCC) with caecal ischaemia or diastatic perforation (defined as a blowout of the caecal wall related to colonic overdistension) should undergo a (sub)total colectomy (STC) or an ileo-caecal resection with double-barrelled ileo-colostomy. We aimed to compare the results of these two strategies. METHOD From 2000 to 2015, 1220 patients with OLCC underwent surgery by clinicians who were members of the French Surgical Association. Of these cases, 201 (16%) were found to have caecal ischaemia or diastatic perforation intra-operatively: 174 patients (87%) underwent a STC (extended colectomy group) and 27 (13%) an ileo-caecal resection with double-end stoma (colon-sparing group). Outcomes were compared retrospectively. RESULTS In the extended colectomy group, 95 patients (55%) had primary anastomosis and 79 (45%) had a STC with an end ileostomy. In the colon-sparing group, 10 patients (37%) had simultaneous resection of their primary tumour with segmental colectomy and an anastomosis which was protected by a double-barrelled ileo-colostomy. The demographic data for the two groups were comparable. Median operative time was longer in the STC group (P = 0.0044). There was a decrease in postoperative mortality (7% vs 12%, P = 0.75) and overall morbidity (56% vs 67%, P = 0.37) including surgical (30% vs 40%, P = 0.29) and severe complications (17% vs 27%, P = 0.29) in the colon-sparing group, although these differences did not reach statistical significance. Cumulative morbidity included all surgical stages and the rate of permanent stoma was 66% and 37%, respectively, with no significant difference between the two groups. Overall survival and disease-free survival were similar between the two groups. CONCLUSION The colon-sparing strategy may represent a valid and safe alternative to STC in OLCC patients with caecal ischaemia or diastatic perforation.

Abstract
AIM The aim was to define risk factors for postoperative mortality in patients undergoing emergency surgery for obstructing colon cancer (OCC) and to propose a dedicated score. METHOD From 2000 to 2015, 2325 patients were treated for OCC in French surgical centres by members of the French National Surgical Association. A multivariate analysis was performed for variables with P value ≤ 0.20 in the univariate analysis for 30-day mortality. Predictive performance was assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS A total of 1983 patients were included. Thirty-day postoperative mortality was 7%. Multivariate analysis found five significant independent risk factors: age ≥ 75 (P = 0.013), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score ≥ III (P = 0.027), pulmonary comorbidity (P = 0.0002), right-sided cancer (P = 0.047) and haemodynamic failure (P < 0.0001). The odds ratio for risk of postoperative death was 3.42 with one factor, 5.80 with two factors, 15.73 with three factors, 29.23 with four factors and 77.25 with five factors. The discriminating capacity in predicting 30-day postoperative mortality was 0.80. CONCLUSION Thirty-day postoperative mortality after emergency surgery for OCC is correlated with age, ASA score, pulmonary comorbidity, site of tumour and haemodynamic failure, with a specific score ranging from 0 to 5.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to study an optimal stopping problem with constraints for a Markov chain with general state space by using the convex analytic approach. The costs are assumed to be nonnegative. Our model is not assumed to be transient or absorbing and the stopping time does not necessarily have a finite expectation. As a consequence, the occupation measure is not necessarily finite, which poses some difficulties in the analysis of the associated linear program. Under a very weak hypothesis, it is shown that the linear problem admits an optimal solution, guaranteeing the existence of an optimal stopping strategy for the optimal stopping problem with constraints.

Abstract
In this paper we obtain some ergodic properties and ergodic decompositions of a continuous-time, Borel right Markov process taking values in a locally compact and separable metric space. Initially, we assume that an invariant probability measure (IPM) μ exists for the process and, without making any further assumptions on the transition kernel, obtain some characterization results for the convergence of the expected occupation measure to a limit kernel. Under the same assumption, we present the so-called Yosida decomposition. Next, instead of assuming the existence of an IPM, we assume that the Markov process satisfies a certain condition, named the T'-condition. Under this condition it is shown that the Foster-Lyapunov criterion is necessary and sufficient for the existence of an IPM and that the process admits a Doeblin decomposition. Furthermore, it is shown that in this case the set of ergodic probability measures is countable and that every probability measure for the Markov process is nonsingular with respect to the transition kernel.

Abstract
This work is concerned with the existence of an optimal control strategy for the long-run average continuous control problem of piecewise-deterministic Markov processes (PDMPs). In Costa and Dufour (2008), sufficient conditions were derived to ensure the existence of an optimal control by using the vanishing discount approach. These conditions were mainly expressed in terms of the relative difference of the α-discount value functions. The main goal of this paper is to derive tractable conditions directly related to the primitive data of the PDMP to ensure the existence of an optimal control. The present work can be seen as a continuation of the results derived in Costa and Dufour (2008). Our main assumptions are written in terms of some integro-differential inequalities related to the so-called expected growth condition, and geometric convergence of the post-jump location kernel associated to the PDMP. An example based on the capacity expansion problem is presented, illustrating the possible applications of the results developed in the paper.

Abstract
New data from the T2K neutrino oscillation experiment produce the most precise measurement of the neutrino mixing parameter θ23. Using an off-axis neutrino beam with a peak energy of 0.6 GeV and a data set corresponding to 6.57×10(20) protons on target, T2K has fit the energy-dependent νμ oscillation probability to determine oscillation parameters. The 68% confidence limit on sin(2)(θ23) is 0.514(-0.056)(+0.055) (0.511±0.055), assuming normal (inverted) mass hierarchy. The best-fit mass-squared splitting for normal hierarchy is Δm32(2)=(2.51±0.10)×10(-3) eV(2)/c(4) (inverted hierarchy: Δm13(2)=(2.48±0.10)×10(-3) eV(2)/c(4)). Adding a model of multinucleon interactions that affect neutrino energy reconstruction is found to produce only small biases in neutrino oscillation parameter extraction at current levels of statistical uncertainty.

Abstract
A search for the dinucleon decay pp → K+ K+ has been performed using 91.6 kton·yr data from Super-Kamiokande-I. This decay provides a sensitive probe of the R-parity-violating parameter λ112''. A boosted decision tree analysis found no signal candidates in the data. The expected background was 0.28±0.19 atmospheric neutrino induced events and the estimated signal detection efficiency was 12.6%±3.2%. A lower limit of 1.7×10(32) years has been placed on the partial lifetime of the decay O16 → C14K+ K+ at 90% C.L. A corresponding upper limit of 7.8×10(-9) has been placed on the parameter λ112''.

Abstract
The T2K experiment has observed electron neutrino appearance in a muon neutrino beam produced 295 km from the Super-Kamiokande detector with a peak energy of 0.6 GeV. A total of 28 electron neutrino events were detected with an energy distribution consistent with an appearance signal, corresponding to a significance of 7.3σ when compared to 4.92±0.55 expected background events. In the Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata mixing model, the electron neutrino appearance signal depends on several parameters including three mixing angles θ12, θ23, θ13, a mass difference Δm(32)(2) and a CP violating phase δ(CP). In this neutrino oscillation scenario, assuming |Δm(32)(2)|=2.4×10(-3) eV(2), sin(2)θ(23)=0.5, and Δm322>0 (Δm(32)(2)<0), a best-fit value of sin(2)2θ(13)=0.140(-0.032)(+0.038) (0.170(-0.037)(+0.045)) is obtained at δ(CP)=0. When combining the result with the current best knowledge of oscillation parameters including the world average value of θ(13) from reactor experiments, some values of δ(CP) are disfavored at the 90% C.L.

Abstract
The T2K Collaboration reports a precision measurement of muon neutrino disappearance with an off-axis neutrino beam with a peak energy of 0.6 GeV. Near detector measurements are used to constrain the neutrino flux and cross section parameters. The Super-Kamiokande far detector, which is 295 km downstream of the neutrino production target, collected data corresponding to 3.01×10(20) protons on target. In the absence of neutrino oscillations, 205±17 (syst) events are expected to be detected while only 58 muon neutrino event candidates are observed. A fit to the neutrino rate and energy spectrum, assuming three neutrino flavors and normal mass hierarchy yields a best-fit mixing angle sin2(θ23)=0.514±0.082 and mass splitting |Δm(32)(2)|=2.44(-0.15)(+0.17)×10(-3) eV2/c4. Our result corresponds to the maximal oscillation disappearance probability.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Anti-tumour therapies based on the use pro-apoptotic receptor agonists, including TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) or monoclonal antibodies targeting TRAIL-R1 or TRAIL-R2, have been disappointing so far, despite clear evidence of clinical activity and lack of adverse events for the vast majority of these compounds, whether combined or not with conventional or targeted anti-cancer therapies. This brief review aims at discussing the possible reasons for the lack of apparent success of these therapeutic approaches and at providing hints in order to rationally design optimal protocols based on our current understanding of TRAIL signalling regulation or resistance for future clinical trials.

Abstract
Background Small clinical trials are necessary when there are difficulties in recruiting enough patients for conventional frequentist statistical analyses to provide an appropriate answer. These trials are often necessary for the study of rare diseases as well as specific study populations e.g. children. It has been estimated that there are between 6,000 and 8,000 rare diseases that cover a broad range of diseases and patients. In the European Union these diseases affect up to 30 million people, with about 50% of those affected being children. Therapies for treating these rare diseases need their efficacy and safety evaluated but due to the small number of potential trial participants, a standard randomised controlled trial is often not feasible. There are a number of alternative trial designs to the usual parallel group design, each of which offers specific advantages, but they also have specific limitations. Thus the choice of the most appropriate design is not simple. Methods PubMed was searched to identify publications about the characteristics of different trial designs that can be used in randomised, comparative small clinical trials. In addition, the contents tables from 11 journals were hand-searched. An algorithm was developed using decision nodes based on the characteristics of the identified trial designs. Results We identified 75 publications that reported the characteristics of 12 randomised, comparative trial designs that can be used in for the evaluation of therapies in orphan diseases. The main characteristics and the advantages and limitations of these designs were summarised and used to develop an algorithm that may be used to help select an appropriate design for a given clinical situation. We used examples from publications of given disease-treatment-outcome situations, in which the investigators had used a particular trial design, to illustrate the use of the algorithm for the identification of possible alternative designs. Conclusions The algorithm that we propose could be a useful tool for the choice of an appropriate trial design in the development of orphan drugs for a given disease-treatment-outcome situation.

Abstract
We present a search for differences in the oscillations of antineutrinos and neutrinos in the Super-Kamiokande-I, -II, and -III atmospheric neutrino sample. Under a two-flavor disappearance model with separate mixing parameters between neutrinos and antineutrinos, we find no evidence for a difference in oscillation parameters. Best-fit antineutrino mixing is found to be at (Δm2,sin2 2θ)=(2.0×10(-3) eV2, 1.0) and is consistent with the overall Super-K measurement.

Abstract
We describe the rationale for disease specific research networks in general as well as the aims and function of the European Cystic Fibrosis Society-Clinical Trials Network (ECFS-CTN) specifically. The ECFS-CTN was founded in 2009 with the aim of improving the quality and quantity of clinical research in the area of cystic fibrosis (CF) in Europe. A network of 18 clinical trial sites in 8 European countries was established according to uniform state-of-the-art quality criteria. To support the ECFS-CTN in the acquisition, planning and conduct of clinical trials, the network is equipped with a coordinating centre, steering and executive committees, and committees for protocol review, standardization, training and networking as well as a data safety monitoring board. A strong partnership with European CF patient parent organizations aims to increase awareness of the need for efficient clinical research and the participation of patients in clinical trials.

Abstract
The T2K experiment observes indications of ν(μ) → ν(e) appearance in data accumulated with 1.43×10(20) protons on target. Six events pass all selection criteria at the far detector. In a three-flavor neutrino oscillation scenario with |Δm(23)(2)| = 2.4×10(-3) eV(2), sin(2)2θ(23) = 1 and sin(2)2θ(13) = 0, the expected number of such events is 1.5±0.3(syst). Under this hypothesis, the probability to observe six or more candidate events is 7×10(-3), equivalent to 2.5σ significance. At 90% C.L., the data are consistent with 0.03(0.04) < sin(2)2θ(13) < 0.28(0.34) for δ(CP) = 0 and a normal (inverted) hierarchy.

Abstract
Current recommendations for bariatric surgery are limited to patients older than 18 years. Two studies in 2007 showed that bariatric surgery improves survival in adults. Medical management of severe obesity in adolescents is all too often ineffective. For these reasons, early surgical intervention for adolescents with morbid obesity may be expected to prevent or avoid comorbidities, decrease mortality, and improve the quality of life. Several studies have demonstrated the feasibility of adolescent bariatric surgery with morbidity comparable to that seen in adult series. The earlier the surgery, the better the result in terms of prevention or reversal of comorbid conditions. In the USA, a consensus definition of adolescents eligible for bariatric surgery specifies attainment of Tanner Stage IV of sexual maturity and achievement of 95% of axial growth. Just as in adults, bariatric surgery in adolescents requires prolonged follow-up; it is important that such surgery be performed in centers specialized in adult bariatric surgery having the necessary multidisciplinary structure.

Abstract
We have searched for proton decays via p-->e;{+}pi;{0} and p-->micro;{+}pi;{0} using data from a 91.7 kt.yr exposure of Super-Kamiokande-I and a 49.2 kt.yr exposure of Super-Kamiokande-II. No candidate events were observed with expected backgrounds induced by atmospheric neutrinos of 0.3 events for each decay mode. From these results, we set lower limits on the partial lifetime of 8.2 x 10;{33} and 6.6 x 10;{33} years at 90% confidence level for p-->e;{+}pi;{0} and p-->micro;{+}pi;{0} modes, respectively.

Abstract
SITUATION In 1997 the Supreme Court of Justice decreed that "the doctor is responsible for giving his patient certain information and is obliged to prove that the information has been given". French surgical societies recommend using a form of informed consent signed by the patient applicable to all practices. AIMS To evaluate a step taken systematically since 1999 in our department. PATIENTS AND METHODS A prospective study was put into place for 259 patients candidate for elective surgery. All patients signed and returned the "informed consent" before surgery. The day of leaving the hospital, they answered a post-operative questionnaire to evaluate what they remembered of the "informed consent form" and the quality of information. RESULTS Ninety three per cent of them remembered it. Eight per cent signed it without reading it. Eighty two per cent of the patients think that this document is useful for their medical records. Among the patients who did not read the informed consent form: 38% wished it gave more information, whereas only 16% of those who had read it, considered the given information inadequate. This difference is statistically (p=0.03) significant. CONCLUSION The informed consent form gives a lot of information to the patients, but the surgeon is still obliged to do likewise. Patients who did not read the consent were less satisfied with the given information than those who had read it. The positive reaction of the patients in favour of the form makes it evident that the existence of the form reassures them.

Abstract
A search for the appearance of tau neutrinos from nu(mu) <--> nu(tau) oscillations in the atmospheric neutrinos has been performed using 1489.2 days of atmospheric neutrino data from the Super-Kamiokande-I experiment. A best fit tau neutrino appearance signal of 138+/-48(stat)-32(+15)(syst) events is obtained with an expectation of 78+/-26(syst). The hypothesis of no tau neutrino appearance is disfavored by 2.4 sigma.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to report the feasibility and efficiency of a new approach, called post-RF trans-metastasis hepatectomy (PRFTMH). This technique consists in using RF to first ablate an ill-located liver metastasis (LM) along the planned hepatectomy resection line, the only one possible for volumetric reasons, and then to perform the hepatectomy passing via this initially ablated LM. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-one patients were treated with PRFTMH between January 2000 and May 2004. Thirteen of them had a primary colorectal tumour, four had a primary endocrine tumour and four had miscellaneous primaries. The mean number of LMs per patient was 13.8 (10.7 for primary colorectal tumours and 22.2 for primary endocrine tumours). Pre-operative hypertrophy of the future remaining liver was obtained by selective portal vein embolisation in 11 patients. RESULTS One patient died post-operatively (4.7%) and five developed complications (24%). No local recurrence has occurred at the site of PRFTMH after a median follow-up of 19.4 months (range: 47-7), demonstrating the efficacy of this technique. All patients, except the patient who died post-operatively, are currently alive, and the median survival rate has not yet been attained, after a median follow-up of 19.4 months. CONCLUSION PRFTMH combining RF ablation and trans-metastasis hepatectomy is a new and safe technique, allowing a curative approach to be proposed to some patients with unresectable bilateral LMs.

Abstract
We suggest that a dysregulation of energy metabolism in the brain of genetic absence epilepsy rats from Strasbourg (GAERS) could create a specific cerebral environment that would favor the expression of spike-and-wave discharges (SWD) in the thalamocortical loop, largely dependent on glutamatergic and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-ergic neurotransmissions. We tested several aspects of metabolic activity in the brain of GAERS compared to a genetic strain of nonepileptic (NE) rats. Glucose metabolism was higher in all brain regions of GAERS compared to those of NE rats along the whole glycolytic and aerobic pathways, as assessed by regional histochemical measurement of lactate dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase activities. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) and alpha-ketoisocaproate (alpha-KIC), the ketoacid of leucine, when injected intraperitoneally, increased the number of SWD in GAERS but had only a slight effect on their duration. These data speak in favor of a BCAA- or alpha-KIC-induced change in neuronal excitability. Leucine and alpha-KIC decreased the concentration of glutamate in thalamus and cortex without affecting GABA concentrations. Thus, BCAA and alpha-KIC, by decreasing glutamatergic neurotransmission, could favor GABAergic neurotransmission, which is known to increase the occurrence of seizures in GAERS. Finally, the transport of [1-(14)C]alpha-KIC in freshly isolated cortical neurons was lower in GAERS than in NE rats, and this difference was shown to be of metabolic origin. The addition of gabapentin, a specific inhibitor of BCAA transaminase (BCAT), reduced the transport of [1-(14)C]alpha-KIC in GAERS and NE rats to a level that became identical in both strains. This strain-dependent change was not related to a difference in the activity of BCAT, which was identical in GAERS and NE rats. The exact origin of this apparent metabolic dysregulation of energy metabolism in GAERS that could underlie the origin of seizures in that strain remains to be explored further.

Abstract
The occurrence of absence seizures might be due to a disturbance of the balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmissions in the thalamo-cortical loop. In this study, we explored the consequences of buffering the glutamate content of brain cells on the occurrence and duration of seizures in Genetic Absence Epilepsy Rats from Strasbourg (GAERS), a genetic model of generalized non-convulsive epilepsy. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and alpha-ketoisocaproate (alpha-KIC), the ketoacid of leucine were repeatedly shown to have a critical role in brain glutamate metabolism. Thus, GAERS were injected by intraperitoneal (i.p.) or intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) route with these compounds, then the effects on seizures were evaluated on the electroencephalographic recording. We also measured the concentration of amino acids in thalamus and cortex after an i.p. injection of leucine or alpha-KIC. Intracerebroventricular injections of leucine or alpha-KIC did not influence the occurrence of seizures, possibly because the substances reached only the cortex. BCAAs and alpha-KIC, injected intraperitoneally, increased the number of seizures whereas they had only a slight effect on their duration. Leucine and alpha-KIC decreased the concentration of glutamate in thalamus and cortex without affecting GABA concentrations. Thus, BCAAs and alpha-KIC, by decreasing the effects of glutamatergic neurotransmission could facilitate those of GABAergic neurotransmission, which is known to increase the occurrence of seizures in GAERS.

Abstract
Branched-chain amino acids, and mainly leucine act as nitrogen donors in the cerebral glutamate-glutamine cycle, thereby reducing brain excitability. Rats equipped with cortical electrodes received 300 mg/kg of leucine, isoleucine, valine or the ketoacid of leucine, alpha-ketoisocaproate at 2 h before the induction of seizures by 40 mg/kg pentylenetetrazol. Control groups received saline or a commercial mixture of amino acids, Vamine(R). Leucine and isoleucine increased the latency to absence-like and tonic-clonic seizures but did not influence the duration of the tonic-clonic seizure. Vamine(R), valine and alpha-ketoisocaproate had no effect. These data are consistent with the role of leucine in buffering brain glutamate concentration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An increased cathepsin D (cath-D) level in breast carcinoma cytosol has been proposed as a prognostic parameter. However, no increase had been previously detected in serum when assaying total cath-D concentration. METHODS The authors compared 2 radioimmunoassays of total cath-D and pro-cath-D in the serum of 3 groups of patients: those with metastatic breast carcinomas (n = 30), those with nonmetastatic breast carcinomas (n = 24), and healthy women (n = 21). RESULTS There was a significant increase of total cath-D and pro-cath-D in the serum of 18 of the 30 patients with metastatic breast carcinoma. No increase was observed in any of the patients with nonmetastatic disease compared with healthy women. Moreover, the level of pro-cath-D was often superior to that of total cath-D in the same patients, suggesting that the total cath-D assay in serum underestimates the actual concentration of pro-cath-D. This is not believed to be due to the masking of cath-D with the circulating mannose-6-phosphate/insulin-like growth factor II receptor because the purified receptor did not interfere in the binding of the monoclonal antibodies used in the assay to cath-D. CONCLUSIONS An increased level of cath-D in the serum of breast carcinoma patients is a late event observed only in patients with metastatic disease. This increased circulating level is more likely due to increased secretion of the proenzyme rather than to tumor cell lysis.

Abstract
We report the isolation of 10 differentially expressed cDNAs in the process of apoptosis induced by the p53 tamor suppressor. As a global analytical method, we performed a differential display of mRNA between mouse M1 myeloid leukemia cells and derived clone LTR6 cells, which contain a stably transfected temperature-sensitive mutant of p53. At 32 degrees C wild-type p53 function is activated in LTR6 cells, resulting in programmed cell death. Eight genes are activated (TSAP; tumor suppressor activated pathway), and two are inhibited (TSIP, tumor suppressor inhibited pathway) in their expression. None of the 10 sequences has hitherto been recognized as part of the p53 signaling pathway. Three TSAPs are homologous to known genes. TSAP1 corresponds to phospholipase C beta 4. TSAP2 has a conserved domain homologous to a multiple endocrine neoplasia I (ZFM1) candidate gene. TSAP3 is the mouse homologue of the Drosophila seven in absentia gene. These data provide novel molecules involved in the pathway of wild-type p53 activation. They establish a functional link between a homologue of a conserved developmental Drosophila gene and signal transduction in tumor suppression leading to programmed cell death.

Abstract
In order to study cellular senescence in T lymphocytes and its link with aging, we have undertaken long-term cultures from adult individuals (aged from 20 to 40) and centenarians. The proliferative advantage of CD4+ over CD8+ T cells is reversed after the second stimulation. Periodically stimulated cultures remained exponentially growing during nearly 200 days, whereas 2 of them that were continued for 300 days stopped proliferating. However, once this phase of senescence is reached, the cells do not die out. Six other cultures remained viable for 34 months without proliferation but with conservation of the cell number. Three of these cultures have clonal karyotypic abnormalities: trisomy 2 and telomeric fusions.

Abstract
The changes occurring in the hematopoietic extracellular matrix in an experimental myeloproliferative syndrome were explored by comparing the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) composition of normal mouse spleens and spleens infected with myeloproliferative sarcoma virus (MPSV). Large quantities of hyaluronate and of sulfated GAGs accumulated in the extracellular matrix of infected spleens, as shown by histoimmunoassay and alcian blue staining, respectively. The splenic GAGs were either labeled with 35S-sulfate injected in vivo or unlabeled. The spleens were fractionated to separate hematopoietic cells from the stromal component containing extracellular matrix material and fibroblasts, and the GAGs were extracted from each fraction. Specific degradative treatments and electrophoresis indicated that sulfated GAGs were mostly chondroitin sulfate and heparan sulfate. Three hours after in vivo injection of 35S-sulfate, the amount of 35S-GAGs was increased approximately fivefold per mg stromal proteins. The bulk of these 35S-GAGs (70%) was recovered in the stromal fraction. The higher amount of sulfated GAGs in leukemic spleen was due both to the presence of more producer cells (infected fibroblasts and hematopoietic cells) and to a stimulation of GAG synthesis per cell, as evidenced 35S-labeling in in vitro experiments. Chondroitin sulfate was the main sulfated GAG present in the culture medium of both hematopoietic and fibroblastic cells and in the pericellular material released by trypsin from fibroblastic cells. High amounts of chondroitin sulfate, which has a possible role in the detachment of hematopoietic cells from the stromal cells, may favour the release of hematopoietic cells from the spleen into the peripheral blood. Heparan sulfate was produced by fibroblastic cells and it was principally present in their pericellular material. Considering the capacity of heparan sulfate to retain cytokines, as demonstrated by others in vitro, large amounts of heparan sulfate may result in the retention of large amounts of the cytokines, which production is enhanced in the infected spleen. This phenomenon may contribute to promote the hematopoietic stem cell proliferation characteristic of the MPSV-induced myeloproliferative disease.

Abstract
Although this is an unfrequently used technique, the authors report their early experience concerning twenty-seven cases of carotid artery revascularization under cervical plexus anesthesia. They express their surgical judgement about the advantages and the limits of the simplest and most reliable way of cerebral monitoring during the surgical procedure, but it might have only a limited indication.
