Abstract
Ozone detection is currently the subject of wide scientific and technological research, motivated by its harmful impact on human safety, environment and health. With the aim of searching for new highly sensitive materials for ozone detection, Ga-doped ZnS and ZnS-ZnO films were deposited by a spray pyrolysis technique. The obtained films were annealed at 400 °C for two hours. The ozone sensing properties were investigated by measuring the sensor resistance for several ozone concentrations ranging from 30 to 120 ppb. The sensor response reveals a dependence on the gallium concentration. The best response was obtained with 4% doping gallium. The sensitivity is 4.5 ppb-1 at 260 °C and the response to 30 ppb ozone is 150. Moreover, the sensor shows high performance such as good selectivity and fast rapidity.

Abstract
Titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin films were deposited on glass substrates at 350 °C using the spray pyrolysis technique. As deposited and annealed thin films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV-VIS spectroscopy, and photodetection. Unlike the as deposited samples which were amorphous, annealed samples show an anatase phase. Films were absorbent in the UV region and the band gap energy decreases from 3.78 eV to 3.4 eV with annealing. The photoresponse of TiO2 photodetectors was recorded under UV (λ1 = 365 nm, λ2 = 254 nm) and visible light illumination by reversible switching (ON/OFF) cycles using DC electrical characterization. Photosensitive properties such as reproducible photosensitivity, responsivity, and detectivity were also studied.

Abstract
This work reports on the integration of ZnO pellets for use as a virtual sensor array (VSA) of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). ZnO pellets consist of nano-powder prepared using a sol-gel technique. The microstructure of the obtained samples was characterized by XRD and TEM methods. The response to VOCs at different concentrations was measured over a range of operating temperatures (250-450 °C) using DC electrical characterization. The ZnO based sensor showed a good response towards ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, acetone and toluene vapors. We note that the highest sensitivity (0.26 ppm-1) is obtained with ethanol while the lowest one (0.041 ppm-1) corresponds to methanol. Consequently, the limit of detection (LOD) estimated analytically reached 0.3 ppm for ethanol and 2.0 ppm for methanol at an operating temperature of 450 °C. The sensing mechanism of the ZnO semiconductor was developed on the basis of the reaction between the reducing VOCs with the chemisorbed oxygen. We verify through the Barsan model that mainly O- ions in the layer react with VOC vapor. Furthermore, dynamic response was investigated to construct mathematical features with distinctly different values for each vapor. Basic linear discrimination analysis (LDA) shows a good job of separating two groups by combining features. In the same way we have shown an original reason embodying the distinction between more than two volatile compounds. With relevant features and VSA formalism, the sensor is clearly selective towards individual VOCs.

Abstract
Indium sulfide (In2S3) thin films have been synthesized on glass substrates using the spray technique (CSP). The S : In molar ratio was varied from 1 to 4 in the starting solution. The Raman analysis confirms the formation of the β-In2S3 material and the absence of a secondary phase. The EDS analysis reveals that our layers are pure. The thin film surface is free of cracks, as observed in AFM images. Optical transmission achieved 80% in the visible and near infrared region. The refractive index (n) is affected by the changes in the S/In molar ratio. The optical parameters, single oscillator energy (E0), dispersion energy (Ed) and high frequency dielectric constant (ε∞), are calculated via the Wemple–DiDomenico model. In addition, the photoconductivity kinetics in In2S3 films for S/In = 2 were investigated and analyzed. The I–V characteristics and the photoresponse were also studied.

Abstract
This work reports the thickness effect on the sensing performances of In2S3 material for some Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). In2S3 films were deposited on glass substrates by the spray pyrolysis technique. Different samples were prepared via changing the spray time in the range of 10–90 min. The film thickness varies from 0.8 μm to 6.1 μm. The X-ray diffraction results demonstrate that the In2S3 films are polycrystalline in nature and exhibit a cubic structure. Additionally, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and 3D profilometry examinations show that the surface roughness increases with the rising spray time. On the other hand, the oxygen adsorption versus working temperature was investigated. Sensing measurements with ethanol, methanol and acetone gases were carried out by a dynamic control of the current passing through the sensitive layers. The best sensitivity was obtained for the film matching a 70 min deposit time. An understanding of the detection mechanism based on the oxidation reaction between reduced vapors and chemisorbed oxygen was confirmed. The selectivity of the sensor was analyzed for several volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The dynamic response of In2S3 films to 4000 ppm of methanol, ethanol and acetone at 350 °C for thicknesses varying from 0.8 μm to 6.1 μm.![]()

Abstract
BACKGROUND Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) occurs frequently in young patients with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP). Because tumours are multiple and usually found on the face, alternatives to surgery are proposed. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of cryosurgery for BCC in XP patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study that included all instances of BCC occurring in XP patients treated by cryosurgery between January 2002 and October 2008. RESULTS Forty-five cases of primary facial BCC and one case of relapsing BCC (16 on the cheeks, 11 on the nose, six on the face and five on the inner edge of the eye area) were treated by cryosurgery in 18 XP patients (average age: 18.7 years; sex ratio: 0.5). Mean carcinoma size was 10mm. Thirty-six tumours were nodular and 10 were nodular and ulcerated. Follow-up ranged from 16 to 60 months (mean: 30 months). Complications were rare. Cosmetic results were satisfactory. We noted 10 cases of hypopigmentation (21.7%) and one notch on the nose following treatment for recurrent BCC on a radiotherapy scar. Relapse occurred in one case (2.17%). CONCLUSION Because of its simplicity, its good safety, its sparing of skin and its reliability of oncological outcome, cryosurgery is the treatment of choice for CBC in XP patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate therapeutic result of cutaneous lymphoma in Tunisia. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between January 1969 and June 1994, 100 patients with cutaneous lymphoma were referred either to Salah Azaiz Institute or the other University Hospitals of Tunisia. Fifty-one patients had epidermotropic lymphoma and 49 non-epidermotropic lesions. Eighty-seven patients received complete treatment. Puvatherapy and other local dermatologic treatments were used for early stage mycosis fungoïdes. Thirty-two patients benefited from radiotherapy, with curative dose in 28 cases. Chemotherapy including anthracyclin agents was used for high grade lymphoma. Thirteen patients had association of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. RESULTS Five-year survival rates were 50% for patients with epidermotropic lesions and 56% for patients with non-epidermotropic cutaneous lymphoma. Statistical study has not identified any significant prognosis factor. CONCLUSION Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are both effective. Treatment should depend on stage and histologic type.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Giant cell fibroblastoma is a rare mesenchyma tumor of childhood having many similarities with dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans in adults. OBSERVATION We report the case of a 28-year-old woman presenting a subcutaneous inter-mammary mass associating both tumors. Immunohistochemistry showed an expression of CD 34 only by dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans cells. DISCUSSION It is important to stress: the rarity of this association, the difficulty to confirm the diagnosis and to establish the links between these two tumors: simple association (as in our case), transformation or recurrence of giant cell fibroblastoma in dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans.

Abstract
Recent studies have suggested that in Tunisia, pemphigus foliaceus is more frequent in young women than expected. To confirm these findings, we compared the incidence rates of pemphigus in Tunisia as a whole and in a large area of France. New cases of pemphigus were detected retrospectively from dermatology departments and pathology laboratories over a 6-year period and classified as pemphigus vulgaris or foliaceus according to the pathology. In France, the incidence rate was 1.7 cases per million per year (95% confidence interval 1.4 to 2.1). Pemphigus vulgaris accounted for 73% of all cases, incidence increased with age, and the female-to-male sex ratio was 1.2. The incidence rate was significantly higher in Tunisia than in France: 6.7 cases per million per year (95% confidence interval 5.8 to 7.7); pemphigus foliaceus was more frequent (61%), the female-to-male sex ratio was 4.1, and the incidence rate was higher in young women. The incidence rate was 15.5 cases per million per year for pemphigus foliaceus among women aged 25 to 34 years and was even higher in some rural areas. No case was observed among household members or in neonates, and only one case occurred in childhood. Thus, we confirmed that the epidemiology of pemphigus in Tunisia is unusual. High rates of pemphigus foliaceus among young people living in rural areas are reminiscent of Brazilian pemphigus. However, the absence of cases among genetically related household members and during childhood, and the large predominance of women, contrast with Brazilian pemphigus.

Abstract
We report a case of an endobronchial lipoma on a 63 year-old woman, treated surgically. A literature review allows us to show the importance of fiberoptic bronchoscopy and computerized tomography in the diagnosis of this kind of benign tumors. The different aspects of treatment with recent progress represented by endoscopic resection are studied.
