Abstract
White-handed gibbons produce loud and acoustically complex songs when interacting with their neighbours or when encountering predators. In both contexts, songs are assembled from a small number of units although their composition differs in context-specific ways. Here, we investigated whether wild gibbons could infer the ‘meaning’ when hearing exemplars recorded in both contexts (i.e. ‘duet songs’ vs. ‘predator songs’). We carried out a playback experiment by which we simulated the presence of a neighbouring group producing either its duet or a predator song in order to compare subjects’ vocal and locomotor responses. When hearing a recording of a duet song, subjects reliably responded with their own duet song, which sometimes elicited further duet songs in adjacent groups. When hearing a recording of a predator song, however, subjects typically remained silent, apart from one of six groups which replied with its own predator song. Moreover, in two of six trials, playbacks of predator songs elicited predator song replies in non-adjacent groups. Finally, all groups showed strong anti-predator behaviour to predator songs but never to duet songs. We concluded that white-handed gibbons discriminated between the two song types and were able to infer meaning from them. We discuss the implications of these findings in light of the current debate on the evolutionary origins of syntax.

Abstract
Sixteen patients with limited small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) were treated with three monthly courses of intensive chemotherapy (cisplatin: 40 mg/m2/day (D), D1, D2 and D3; cyclophosphamide: 750 mg/m2/D, D4 and D5; adriamycin: 50 mg/m2/D, D5; vindesine: 2 mg/m2/D, D1 and D5; etoposide: 100 mg/m2/D, D1, D2 and D3; methylprednisolone: 120 mg/m2/D, D1 to D5). Thoracic and prophylactic brain plus spinal area irradiations were performed after completion of the third chemotherapy cycle. The complete response rate was 100%. Of these 16 patients, 7 experienced a relapse from 5 to 31 months after completion of treatment. The three-year survival rate was 54%. The main toxicities were hematological (neutropenia and thrombocytopenia) and digestive. We conclude from this pilot study that intensive five-drug chemotherapy is a highly effective regimen for limited SCLC. This intensive chemotherapy regimen and extensive irradiation is feasible without major toxicity. This type of intensive combined-modality program deserves further study to definitely establish its long-term efficacy in localized SCLC.

Abstract
The NUP98 gene is fused with 19 different partner genes in various human hematopoietic malignancies. In order to gain additional clinico-hematological data and to identify new partners of NUP98, the Groupe Francophone de Cytogénétique Hématologique (GFCH) collected cases of hematological malignancies where a 11p15 rearrangement was detected. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis showed that 35% of these patients (23/66) carried a rearrangement of the NUP98 locus. Genes of the HOXA cluster and the nuclear-receptor set domain (NSD) genes were frequently fused to NUP98, mainly in de novo myeloid malignancies whereas the DDX10 and TOP1 genes were equally rearranged in de novo and in therapy-related myeloid proliferations. Involvement of ADD3 and C6ORF80 genes were detected, respectively, in myeloid disorders and in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), whereas the RAP1GDS1 gene was fused to NUP98 in T-ALL. Three new chromosomal breakpoints: 3q22.1, 7p15 (in a localization distinct from the HOXA locus) and Xq28 were detected in rearrangements with the NUP98 gene locus. The present study as well as a review of the 73 cases previously reported in the literature allowed us to delineate some chromosomal, clinical and molecular features of patients carrying a NUP98 gene rearrangements.

Abstract
In the modelling and the optimization of pharmaceutical protein freeze-drying processes, thermophysical properties values of the formulation in frozen or in liquid states are necessary in order to determine the optimal operating conditions (temperature, pressure) of the two steps (sublimation, desorption) drying diagramme and the optimal storage conditions of the final freeze-dried product. The most important thermophysical properties of BSA/water/Tris system buffered with Tris-HCl (5%, w/w) at pH 7, a standard formulation largely used in industrial freeze-drying process of pharmaceutical proteins, are reported in this paper. The state diagram of this formulation was determined by modulated temperature differential scanning calorimetry (MTDSC) and, then the vitreous transition temperatures were interpreted as a function of water content by the Gordon-Taylor equation. The same technique was used to experimentally determine the heat capacity of the BSA/water frozen system. Moreover, the transient hot wire probe method was used to measure the thermal conductivity of the frozen system as a function of temperature. It proved that the thermal conductivity and the apparent heat capacity values for this dilute formulation were reasonably close to the values for the pure water/ice system. Sorption isotherms data were also measured by two different methods-the equilibrium with saturated salts solutions and also the controlled humidity oven. Water vapour sorption data were finally correlated by the three parameters Guggenheim, Anderson, De Boer (GAB) equation.

Abstract
The principal aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of annealing on structural properties and mass transfer parameters of a model formulation used for freeze-drying of pharmaceutical proteins. Characterization runs on ice morphology of the frozen material were performed in a cold chamber by direct optical microscopy using episcopic coaxial lighting. Consequently, it was possible to quantify the influence of annealing (temperature, duration) on ice morphology. Then, the pressure rise analysis method was used during primary drying to identify as a function of time both the dried layer mass transfer resistance values, R(p), and the sublimation front temperature, T(i), with or without annealing. Annealing turned out to accelerate sublimation rates by increasing ice crystal sizes of the frozen matrix, thus leading to lower values of R(p). Finally, secondary drying kinetics were studied by measuring the values of the desorption constant by a simple gravimetric method. In this study, annealing turned out to decrease desorption kinetics by a factor of two.

Abstract
The principal aim of this study is to extend to a pilot freeze-dryer equipped with a non-instantaneous isolation valve the previously presented pressure rise analysis (PRA) model for monitoring the product temperature and the resistance to mass transfer of the dried layer during primary drying. This method, derived from the original MTM method previously published, consists of interrupting rapidly (a few seconds) the water vapour flow from the sublimation chamber to the condenser and analysing the resulting dynamics of the total chamber pressure increase. The valve effect on the pressure rise profile observed during the isolation valve closing period was corrected by introducing in the initial PRA model a valve characteristic function factor which turned out to be independent of the operating conditions. This new extended PRA model was validated by implementing successively the two types of valves and by analysing the pressure rise kinetics data with the corresponding PRA models in the same operating conditions. The coherence and consistency shown on the identified parameter values (sublimation front temperature, dried layer mass transfer resistance) allowed validation of this extended PRA model with a non-instantaneous isolation valve. These results confirm that the PRA method, with or without an instantaneous isolation valve, is appropriate for on-line monitoring of product characteristics during freeze-drying. The advantages of PRA are that the method is rapid, non-invasive, and global. Consequently, PRA might become a powerful and promising tool not only for the control of pilot freeze-dryers but also for industrial freeze-dryers equipped with external condensers.

Abstract
The principal aim of this study was to evaluate the water vapour mass transfer resistance of the dried layer and the vial heat transfer coefficient values of a pharmaceutical product during the primary drying period. First, overall vial heat transfer coefficient values, Kv, were determined by a gravimetric method based on pure ice sublimation experiments. Thus, it was possible to set up a map of the total heat flux received by each vial throughout the plate surface of our pilot scale freeze-dryer. Important heterogeneities were observed for the vials placed at the plate edges and for the vials placed at the center of the plate. As well, the same gravimetric method was also used to precisely determine the influence of main lyophilization operating parameters (shelf temperature and gas total pressure) or the vial types and sizes on these overall heat transfer coefficient values. A semi-empirical relationship as a function of total gas pressure was proposed. The transient method by pressure rise analysis (PRA method) after interrupting the water vapour flow between the sublimation chamber and the condenser, previously set up and validated in our laboratory, was then extensively used with an amorphous BSA-based formulation to identify the dried layer mass transfer resistance values, Rp, the ice front temperature, and the total heat transfer coefficient values, Kv, with or without annealing treatment. It was proved that this method gave accurate and coherent data only during the first half of the sublimation period when the totality of the vials of the set was still sublimating. Thus, this rapid method allowed estimation of, on line and in situ, the sublimation front temperature and the characterization of the morphology and structure of the freeze-dried layer, all along the first part of the sublimation period. The estimated sublimation temperatures shown by the PRA model were about 2 degrees C lower than the experimental values obtained using thermocouples inserted inside the vial, in accordance with previous data given by this method for similar freeze-drying conditions. As well, by using this method we could confirm the homogenization of the dried layer porous structure by annealing treatment after the freezing step. Furthermore, frozen matrix structure analysis (mean pore diameter) using optical microscopy and mass transfer modelling of water vapour by molecular diffusion (Knudsen regime) allowed, in some cases, to predict the experimental values of this overall mass transfer resistance directly related to the freeze-dried cake permeability.

Abstract
Cleft lips and cleft palates are managed in the department of Pediatric surgery in Rouen for the last 30 years. From the antenatal diagnosis, the parents got in touch with the surgeon who will coordinate this management. Around thirty new patients are treated every year. The chronology of the treatment is of "classic" manner. The cleft lip is repaired at about 3 weeks of age and the palatoplasty is performed after the age of 1 year. In view to maintain the intimacy of the consultation we did not institute multidisciplinary consultations. The other members of the interdisciplinary team will intervene during the follow up depending on the form of the cleft and the encountered problems. The information and the files circulate freely and are discussed together.

Abstract
The reaction of the C=N bond in PhCH=NPh with the carbanionic species Ph2PCH2-, leading to the N-phenyl beta-aminophosphine Ph2PCH2CH(Ph)NHPh, L1, is described. This molecule reacts with different organic electrophiles to afford related compounds Ph2PCH2CH(Ph)NPhX (X = SiMe3, L2; COPh, L4), [Ph2MePCH2CH(Ph)NHPh]+(I-), L3, and [Ph2PCH2CH(Ph)N(Ph)CO]2, L5, containing two amido and two phosphino functions. The coordination properties of L1, L2, and L4 have been studied in palladium chemistry. The X-ray structure of [PdCl2(Ph2PCH2CH(Ph)NHPh-kappaP,kappaN)] shows the bidentate coordination mode for the L1 ligand with equatorial C(Ph)-N(Ph) phenyl groups. [PdCl2(Ph2PCH2CH(Ph)NHPh-kappaP,kappaN)] crystallizes at 298 K in the space group P2(1)/n with cell parameters a = 10.689(2) A, b = 21.345(3) A, c = 12.282(2) A, beta = 90.294(12) degrees, Z = 4, D(calcd) = 1.526. The reaction between 2 equiv of L1 and [PdCl(eta3-C3H5)]2 affords the [PdCl(eta3-C3H5)(Ph2PCH2CH(Ph)NHPh-kappaP)] complex in which an unexpected N-H.Cl intramolecular interaction has been observed by an X-ray diffraction analysis. [PdCl(eta3-C3H5)(Ph2PCH2CH(Ph)NHPh-kappaP)] crystallizes at 298 K in the monoclinic space group Cc with cell parameters a = 10.912(1) A, b = 17.194(2) A, c = 14.169(2) A, beta = 100.651(9) degrees, Z = 4, D(calcd) = 1.435. Neutral and cationic alkyl or allyl palladium chloride complexes containing L1 are also reported as well as a neutral allyl palladium chloride complex containing L4. Variable-temperature 31P[1H] NMR studies on the allyl complexes show that the eta3/eta1 allyl interconversion is enhanced by a positive charge and also by a N-H.Cl intramolecular interaction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Procedures such as digestive endoscopy may explain some unclear contaminations by HCV. AIMS The aims of this study were to detect HCV genome on endoscopes and biopsy-forceps used in patients with known chronic HCV infection and to determine its presence in their gastric juice and saliva. METHODS A gastroscopy with antral biopsies was performed in 48 patients with non-treated replicative chronic hepatitis C. Samples were obtained after pushing 10 mL of sterile water through the biopsy-suction channel and after immersing the brush used to clean this channel. The biopsy-forceps were also immersed and their tips brushed in 10 mL of sterile water. This sampling technique was repeated three times: immediately after the endoscopic procedure (T0), after washing with a detergent (T1) and after immersion for 20 minutes in a 2% glutaraldehyde solution (T2). The HCV genome was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR, Amplicor - Roche Diagnostics Systems). For the last 15 patients, samples of gastric juice and saliva were obtained before antral biopsies and used to detect HCV genome. RESULTS HCV genome was detected in the biopsy-suction channel in 13 cases (27%) at T0 and in one case (2%) at T1. It was undetectable after completion of the disinfection procedure (T2). Three biopsy-forceps (6%) were PCR positive immediately after the endoscopy but none at T1 and T2. HCV genome was found in the gastric juice in three cases. In all of them, it was also found at T0 in the biopsy-suction channel but not on the biopsy-forceps. When saliva contained HCV genome (4 cases), it was present in the biopsy-suction channel in only one case. In this case, the gastric juice was also PCR positive. CONCLUSIONS HCV genome is detected in 27% of cases in the biopsy-suction channel after an endoscopic procedure performed on patients with chronic HCV infection. The biopsy-forceps are PCR positive in 6% of cases. The infected gastric juice may play a role in the contamination of the endoscopes. The complete disinfection procedure seems effective to eliminate HCV.

Abstract
Interferon alpha (INF) used for chronic hepatitis C treatment induces a response in less than 25% of patients. The aim of this study was to appreciate the predictive value of the delay of clearance of hepatitis C virus (HCV) viremia after onset therapy and to compare it with other virological markers such as viral load before treatment and viral type. Thirty one patients with chronic hepatitis C, treated with 3 MU Interferon, 3 times a week for 6 months, were followed until 6 months post-treatment. Response was defined according to the normalisation of transaminases levels and loss of HCV viremia. Five patients were long term responder, eleven patients were complete to relapse responder and fifteen patients were non responder. Serum HCV RNA level, HCV type and serial detection of serum HCV RNA were determined and correlated with the long term response to INF. Patients with long term response had lower pre-INF viral load compared to the complete to relapse responder or to the non responder (p < 0.001). A rapid clearance of serum HCV RNA (1 month) is observed for all the long term responder (p < 0.001). The lowest viral load is also observed in these patients (p < 0 05). By contrast, although the number of patient is low, we were not able to observe a relation between the viral type and the response to treatment. In conclusion this data indicate that the delay of clearance of HCV RNA is also a good predictor of response to INF therapy. Furthermore a rapid clearance of HCV RNA in patients with a very weak pre-INF viral load is strongly associated with long term response (positive predictive value: 100%).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES AND METHODS In order to study the prevalence and risk factors of HCV infection in a population hospitalized in a Gastroenterology Unit, 3,767 patients were tested for serum anti-HCV, and 2,607 filled out a questionnaire about risk factors. RESULTS With the RIBA 2 test, the overall prevalence was 5.9%. Because of the age distribution, two populations were studied. In patients younger than 45, intravenous drug use was the only independent risk factor linked to serum anti-HCV positivity (Odds ratio: 151, CI 95%: 66.9-340). In patients older than 45, the independent risk factors were chronic liver disease (Odds ratio: 8.5, CI 95%: 4.4-16.8), per-endoscopic biopsies (Odds ratio: 2.7, CI 95%: 1.4-5.4), and blood transfusions (Odds ratio: 1.8, CI 95%: 0.9-3.5). Two variables were dominant for the entire population: IV drug use and chronic liver disease. In patients without these factors, only one risk factor was linked to serum anti-HCV positivity: perendoscopic biopsies (Odds ratio: 5.2, CI 95%: 1.6-16.5). CONCLUSION These results suggest that HCV may be transmitted by perendoscopic biopsies.

Abstract
Two cases of psoas abscess complicating acute necrotizing pancreatitis are reported. These cases were particular because the abscesses exteriorized in the groin and symptoms were misleading. The abscesses were detected late, three and five months after the beginning of the pancreatitis respectively. The difficulties in diagnosis and the long delay to diagnosis are emphasized as possible sources of superinfection.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetics of molsidomine were investigated in six healthy volunteers and in seven patients with alcoholic cirrhosis. After a 2 mg oral dose, molsidomine elimination half-life was prolonged in cirrhotic patients (13.1 +/- 10.0 h vs 1.2 +/- 0.2 h, P less than 0.01) because of a decrease in its apparent plasma clearance (CL/F) (39.8 +/- 31.9 ml h-1 kg-1 in patients with cirrhosis vs 590 +/- 73 ml h-1 kg-1 in volunteers). The elimination half-life of the active metabolite, linsidomine (SIN-1) was also prolonged in cirrhotic patients (7.5 +/- 5.4 h vs 1.0 +/- 0.19 h, P less than 0.05). The AUC values of both molsidomine and linsidomine were increased in the cirrhotic group, but the increase in the former was considerably greater than in the latter as shown by the significant decrease of the ratio AUClinsidomine/AUCmolsidomine x 100 (4.5 +/- 6.1 in cirrhotic patients vs 23.5 +/- 3.4 in healthy volunteers, P less than 0.001). These results suggest that liver cirrhosis profoundly alters the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of molsidomine.

Abstract
A pharmacokinetic study of ranitidine was performed in 14 patients with haematemesis divided into two groups according to the severity of blood loss. Pharmacokinetic values were calculated from plasma concentrations after the first of three daily injections (100 mg) and compared with those obtained in five healthy volunteers (50 mg i.v.). There were no significant differences between patients in the two haemorrhage groups and controls. The low, or even questionable, effectiveness of histamine H2-receptor antagonists in the treatment of upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage does not seem to be due to pharmacokinetic factors.

Abstract
Two cancer-prone families are reported. In the first one four first-degree relatives over three generations presented a colonic carcinoma, three of them at a proximal anatomic site. For grandmother and father these occurred at ages of 43 and 54 years, respectively, for the son and the daughter at ages of 26 and 22. The grandmother underwent a palliative ileotransversostomy, surgery typically associated with a bad prognosis, but she survived for forty years that initial neoplasm and had an hysterectomy with oophorectomy at age of 63 for endometrial malignancy; she deceased at age of 83 a few days after surgical treatment of tumoral small bowel obstruction: pathological evaluation disclosed a fourth cancer on first duodenum. The second kindred shows over three generations 11 cancer-affected individuals, three of them with double primary cancer: breast and sigmoid, breast and endometrium, colon and Hodgkin disease. This pedigree includes 8 colorectal neoplasms occurring at 47 years of mean age. These findings are consistent with the cancer-family syndrome and hereditary non-polyposis colon cancer described by Henry Lynch upon four criteria: high frequency of adenocarcinoma, excess of multiple primary malignancies, synchronous or metachronous, early age of onset of cancer and autosomal dominant inheritance. Moreover the hereditary colon cancer is usually localised to the proximal colon, not associated to polyposis coli and allows a prolonged survival. Up to day such families are only identified by pedigree data. The identification of a cancer-prone family calls for an active follow-up of relatives putatively at risk starting at the age of 15 to 20.

Abstract
When P. falciparum malaria is diagnosed in France in a patient who has not travelled to an endemic area, transmission by blood transfusion or direct contact with an infected person, and indigenous malaria should be considered. With reference to the observation reported in this paper, the manifestations of malarial hepatitis are recalled and their diagnostic significance is discussed. In P. falciparum malaria, malarial hepatitis indicates the development of a complete cycle including the pre-erythrocytic phase; this is strongly in support of indigenous malaria, and against malaria following blood transfusion or direct contact in which there is no pre-erythrocytic phase.

Abstract
Two cases of fulminating pneumococcal septicemia (FSP) are reported, and 47 confirmed cases were discovered after a review of the published literature. The syndrome is that of a malignant infection with fever, collapse, and disseminated intravascular coagulation, with a rapid mortal outcome in most cases. Etiologically, FSP is usually the consequence of functional or anatomical asplenia, and the relative frequency of this affection after splenectomy following trauma confirms this observation. Lack of a splenic filter and a deficiency in the phagocytic system are the reasons for microbial proliferation in the blood, and the lymphocytic defence mechanisms are inactive because of the absence of any focus of infection.
