Abstract
Hydrazone compounds represent an important area of research that includes, among others, synthetic approaches and biological studies. A series of 17 hydrazones have been synthesized by mechanochemical means. The fragments chosen were phenolic and furanyl aldehydes coupled with 12 heterocyclic hydrazines or hydrazinamides. All compounds can be obtained quantitatively when operating on a planetary ball mill and a maximum reaction time of 180 min (6 cycles of 30 min each). Complete spectroscopic analyses of hydrazones revealed eight compounds (3-5, 8-11, 16) present in one geometric form, six compounds (1, 2, 13-15) present in two isomeric forms, and three compounds (6, 7, 12) where one rotation is restricted giving rise to two different forms. The single crystal X-ray structure of one of the hydrazones bearing the isoniazid fragment (8) indicates a crystal lattice consisting of two symmetry-independent molecules with different geometries. All compounds obtained were tested for anti-infectious and antibacterial activities. Four compounds (1, 3, 5 and 8) showed good activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and one (7) was very potent against Staphylococcus aureus. Most interesting, this series of compounds displayed very promising antileishmanial activity. Among all, compound 9 exhibited an IC50 value of 0.3 µM on the Leishmania donovani intramacrophage amastigote in vitro model and a good selectivity index, better than miltefosine, making it worth evaluating in vivo.

Abstract
Photo-iniferter reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (PI-RAFT) polymerization of N-vinylformamide (NVF) is demonstrated by using purple light. PNVFs with predetermined molar masses and narrow molar mass distributions are obtained. High RAFT chain-end fidelity is confirmed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) and electrospray-ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ESI-TOF-MS), and chain extension experiment. To demonstrate the potential of this approach, an original poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone)-b-poly(N-vinylformamide) (PVP-b-PNVF) diblock copolymer is synthesized and characterized by aqueous size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation (A4F), and 1 H diffusion-ordered spectroscopy nuclear magnetic resonance (1 H DOSY NMR). Finally, selective hydrolysis of PNVF block to corresponding pH-responsive poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone)-b-poly(N-vinylformamide) (PVP-b-PVAm) is performed.

Abstract
Toute action réalisée en dehors du décret de compétences infirmières du 29 juillet 2004 (Code de la santé publique) est à considérer comme un dépassement de tâches (DDT). Dans une première enquête réalisée en 2016 dans les services de réanimation du groupe AtlanRéa (association de recherche clinique en réanimation du Grand Ouest), 94 % des infirmiers interrogés admettaient au moins un DDT par jour. Nous avons approfondi cette problématique fréquente et source d’inquiétude de la part des paramédicaux. L’enquête s’est déroulée sur la journée du 7 mars 2017. 64 % des répondants ont déclaré faire des DDT, 23 % plus de 5 par jour. Le DDT concerne la modification de la FiO2dans 52 % des cas, les bolus de sédation 47 %, la modification du mode ventilatoire 41 %. Les raisons du DDT sont : le confort du patient à 71 %, par habitude de service à 63 %. Il y a une différence de DTT CHU/CHG,p= 0,019. Le sentiment d’engendrer un risque pour le patient est de 64 %, pour le soignant de 89 %. Les solutions privilégiées pour diminuer le DDT sont la création d’une spécialité à 75 % et la mise à jour du décret à 54 %. Le DDT en réanimation n’a a priori jamais fait l’objet d’étude. Nous rapportons pour la première fois des données sur le DDT à l’échelle nationale. La motivation principale du DDT est le confort du patient. Il y a une demande de changement avec la création d’une spécialité d’infirmier diplômé d’État (IDE) ou la modification du décret de compétences.

Abstract
Intensive use of chlorinated pesticides from the 1960s to the 1990s has resulted in a diffuse contamination of soils and surface waters in the banana-producing areas of the French West Indies. The purpose of this research was, for the first time, to examine the degradation of two of these persistent pollutants - chlordecone (CLD) and beta-hexachlorocyclohexane (β-HCH) in 1 mg L-1 synthetic aqueous solutions by means of photolysis, (photo-) Fenton oxidation and ozonation processes. Fenton oxidation is not efficient for CLD and yields less than 15% reduction of β-HCH concentration in 5 h. Conversely, both molecules can be quantitatively converted under UV-Vis irradiation reaching 100% of degradation in 5 h, while combination with hydrogen peroxide and ferrous iron does not show any significant improvement except in high wavelength range (>280 nm). Ozonation exhibits comparable but lower degradation rates than UV processes. Preliminary identification of degradation products indicated that hydrochlordecone was formed during photo-Fenton oxidation of CLD, while for β-HCH the major product peak exhibited C3H3Cl2 as most abundant fragment.

Abstract
Arabidopsis Fused kinase TWO-IN-ONE (TIO) controls phragmoplast expansion through its interaction with the Kinesin-12 subfamily proteins that anchor the plus ends of interdigitating microtubules in the phragmoplast midzone. Previous analyses of loss-of-function mutants and RNA interference lines revealed that TIO positively controls both somatic and gametophytic cell cytokinesis; however, knowledge of the full spectrum of TIO functions during plant development remains incomplete. To characterize TIO functions further, we expressed TIO and a range of TIO variants under control of the TIO promoter in wild-type Arabidopsis plants. We discovered that TIO-overexpressing transgenic lines produce enlarged pollen grains, arising from incomplete cytokinesis during male meiosis, and show sporophytic abnormalities indicative of polyploidy. These phenotypes arose independently in TIO variants in which either gametophytic function or the ability of TIO to interact with Kinesin-12 subfamily proteins was abolished. Interaction assays in yeast showed TIO to bind to the AtNACK2/TETRASPORE, and plants doubly homozygous for kinesin-12a and kinesin-12b knockout mutations to produce enlarged pollen grains. Our results show TIO to dominantly inhibit male meiotic cytokinesis in a dosage-dependent manner that may involve direct binding to a component of the canonical NACK-PQR cytokinesis signaling pathway.

Abstract
Coordination of a cyclometallated Pt(II) complex (1) to an amyloid-β peptide was probed by NMR and ESI-MS. Furthermore, EPR showed that binding of 1 to the Cu(II)-amyloid-β species resulted in a reshuffling of the Cu(II) coordination sphere, which was absent or lower for the sister non cyclometallated Pt(II) complexes.

Abstract
Asymmetric cell division at pollen mitosis I (PMI) is required to specify the differential fate of the daughter vegetative and generative cells. Cytokinesis at PMI displays specialized features, and it has been suggested that there might be distinct molecular pathways underpinning different modes of cytokinesis in plants. Activation of the NACK-PQR MAP kinase signaling pathway, which is essential for somatic cell cytokinesis in tobacco, depends upon the NACK1 and NACK2 kinesin-related proteins. Their Arabidopsis orthologs, HINKEL (HIK) and TETRASPORE (TES), were reported to be essential for cytokinesis in somatic cells and in microsporocytes, respectively. More recently, HIK and TES were shown to have a functionally redundant role in female gametophytic cytokinesis. We report here that HIK and TES are co-expressed in microspores and developing pollen, and, through analysis of microspore and pollen development in double heterozygote mutants, the occurrence of cell plate expansion defects during cytokinesis at PMI. The data demonstrate a functionally redundant role for HIK and TES in cell plate expansion during male gametophytic cytokinesis, extending the concept that different modes of cytokinesis are executed by a common signaling pathway, but reinforcing the individuality of gametophytic cytokinesis in its requirement for either TES or HIK.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few germline BRCA2 rearrangements have been described compared with the large number of germline rearrangements reported in the BRCA1 gene. However, some BRCA2 rearrangements have been reported in families that included at least one case of male breast cancer. OBJECTIVE To estimate the contribution of large genomic rearrangements to the spectrum of BRCA2 defects. METHODS Quantitative multiplex PCR of short fluorescent fragments (QMPSF) was used to screen the BRCA2 gene for germline rearrangements in highly selected families. QMPSF was previously used to detect heterozygous deletions/duplications in many genes including BRCA1 and BRCA2. RESULTS We selected a subgroup of 194 high risk families with four or more breast cancers with an average age at diagnosis of < or = 50 years, who were recruited through 14 genetic counselling centres in France and one centre in Switzerland. BRCA2 mutations were detected in 18.6% (36 index cases) and BRCA1 mutations in 12.4% (24 index cases) of these families. Of the 134 BRCA1/2 negative index cases in this subgroup, 120 were screened for large rearrangements of BRCA2 using QMPSF. Novel and distinct BRCA2 deletions were detected in three families and their boundaries were determined. We found that genomic rearrangements represent 7.7% (95% confidence interval 0% to 16%) of the BRCA2 mutation spectrum. CONCLUSION The molecular diagnosis of breast cancer predisposition should include screening for BRCA2 rearrangements, at least in families with a high probability of BRCA2 defects.

Abstract
A key step in pollen formation is the segregation of the products of male meiosis into a tetrad of microspores, each of which develops into a pollen grain. Separation of microspores does not occur in tetraspore (tes) mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana, owing to the failure of male meiotic cytokinesis. tes mutants thus generate large 'tetraspores' containing all the products of a single meiosis. Here, we report the positional cloning of the TES locus and details of the role played by the TES product in male cytokinesis. The predicted TES protein includes an N-terminal domain homologous to kinesin motors and a C-terminus with little similarity to other proteins except for a small number of plant kinesins. These include the Arabidopsis HINKEL protein and NACK1 and two from tobacco (Nishihama et al., 2002), which are involved in microtubule organization during mitotic cytokinesis. Immunocytochemistry shows that the characteristic radial arrays of microtubules associated with male meiotic cytokinesis fail to form in tes mutants. The TES protein therefore is likely to function as a microtubule-associated motor, playing a part either in the formation of the radial arrays that establish spore domains following meiosis, or in maintaining their stability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Serum CH50 and C4 levels are usually normal or elevated in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) but are classically decreased in patients with serious extra-articular manifestations (SEAMs) of the disease. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether complement assays are useful in diagnosing or predicting SEAMs of RA. METHODS First, a cross-sectional study of 405 patients admitted for RA compared patients with and without hypocomplementemia. Then, a retrospective longitudinal design was used to investigate within-patient complement level variations overtime. RESULTS In the univariate analysis, patients with low CH50 and C4 levels were more likely to have vasculitis and/or cryoglobulinemia than those with normal CH50 and C4 levels, and nodules were more common in the patients with low than with normal C4 levels. In a multivariate model based on symptoms, low C4 was associated with vasculitis and pleurisy and low CH50 with vasculitis. However, these associations were too weak to make CH50 and C4 determination useful for detecting SEAMs, and the within-subject variations in patients with SEAMs limited the predictive value of these assays. CONCLUSION Hypocomplementemia is of limited usefulness for detecting or predicting SEAMs.

Abstract
Mutations in the X-linked methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene have been found to be a cause of Rett syndrome (RTT). Mutation screening was based on various techniques including denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis, heteroduplex analysis, DNA sequencing and recently Southern Blot analysis. Mutation detection was achieved in 80% of typical RTT with a high prevalence of recurrent mutations. In order to provide further insights into the spectrum of MECP2 rearrangements in patients without any point mutation or small deletion/insertion in the coding region MECP2 gene, we screened 25 classical RTT females using fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis. No deletion were found in our group, suggesting that MECP2 gross rearrangements are a rare cause of Rett syndrome.

Abstract
In an attempt to further increase transgene expression levels in plants over and above the enhancement obtained with a 5' untranslated leader intron, three different maize introns were inserted at three different positions within the coding sequence of the luciferase reporter gene. Constructs were transformed into maize (Black Mexican Sweet) cells and protoplasts, and their activity determined. Although all introns tested were correctly spliced, only one of them in a particular position was able to enhance gene expression. Correct splicing sites were used for intron removal and the quantity of luciferase mRNA produced did not differ significantly. These data indicate that both the position and the sequence of an intron have marked effects on expression levels, suggesting that nuclear processing of the pre-mRNA determines final expression levels through the structure of the mRNP.

Abstract
Mutations in the X-linked methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 gene (MECP2) have been found to be a cause of Rett syndrome (RTT). In order to provide further insights into the distribution and the spectrum of mutations, we investigated, in addition to the whole coding sequence, a phylogenetically conserved sequence within the 3' untranslated region (3' UTR) of the MECP2 gene for 55 sporadic RTT, including 47 typical and 8 nonclassical cases. We have developed an approach based on conformation-sensitive gel electrophoresis, sequence analysis and, for the first time, Southern blot analysis. Mutation detection, including unreported gross DNA rearrangements, was achieved in 79% of classical RTT and 25% of nonclassical RTT patients. The high prevalence of recurrent mutations allows us to propose a molecular diagnosis strategy for RTT.

Abstract
Acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL) exhibits a characteristic t(15;17) translocation that fuses the promyelocytic leukaemia (PML) gene on 15q22 to the retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA) gene on 17q12-q21.1. In a small subset of acute promyelocytic-like leukaemias (APL-L), RARA is fused to a different partner: the pro-myelocytic leukaemia zinc finger (PLZF) gene on 11q23, the nucleophosmin (NPM) gene on 5q35 or the nuclear mitotic apparatus (NuMA) gene on 11q13. We report on the molecular characterization of a RARA gene re-arrangement in a patient with APL-L and demonstrate that the signal transducer and activator of transcription STAT5b gene is fused with RARA. STAT5b belongs to the janus kinase (JAK)-STAT signalling pathway. Remarkably, the STAT5b component of the chimeric protein is delocalized from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, where it displays a microspeckled pattern. Therefore, unusual features of this APL-L might result from dysregulation of the JAK/STAT5 signal transducing pathways in the patient leukaemic cells. In this study, we identified STAT5b as a new gene fused to RARA in leukaemia; this is the first human tumour bearing a structurally abnormal STAT gene.

Abstract
Insulin sensitivity of kininogen-deficient rats was compared with that of normal rats using euglycaemic hyperinsulinaemic glucose clamping. Anaesthetized animals were infused with 2-50 mU kg-1 min-1 of insulin and the glucose infusion rates needed to maintain euglycaemia were determined. Maximum glucose uptake, insulin sensitivity index and insulin clearance were reduced in kininogen-deficient rats. Captopril increased the amount of glucose needed to maintain euglycaemia during infusion of 2 and 10 mU kg-1 min-1 of insulin in normal rats, but had no effect in kininogen-deficient rats. Anaesthetized rats of both strains were given an intraperitoneal injection of glucose and the evolution of blood glucose was followed for 120 min. The peak increase was higher in kininogen-deficient rats. Similar larger increases in blood glucose were observed after glucose injection in normal rats previously treated with HOE 140, a bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist. After glucose injection, plasma insulin increased in both groups of rats but reached lower levels in kininogen-deficient animals. These results suggest that bradykinin is involved not only in the clearance of glucose and insulin by the tissues during insulin infusion but also that bradykinin can affect the release of insulin after a glucose load.

Abstract
The plasminogen activator (PA) system is thought to play a major role in the proteolytic events associated with spermatogenesis. The mechanisms controlling the expression of PA and of its major physiological inhibitor, plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1), in the seminiferous epithelium are still unknown. In the present study we analyzed the expression of PA and PAI-1 in a murine Sertoli cell line (42GPA9) in response to stimulation by lipopolysaccharides (LPS) used to activate the phagocytic activity of these cells. Immortalized Sertoli cells cultured under basal conditions secreted predominantly tissue-type PA (tPA) as demonstrated by zymographic analysis and the presence of tPA transcripts. In zymographic experiments a larger molecular weight proteolytic band corresponding to the formation of PA-PAI-1 complex was also observed. The stimulation of immortalized Sertoli cells by LPS resulted in both alteration of the apparent tPA molecular weight to a higher form and transient increase in PAI-1 biosynthesis. The phorbol ester TPA stimulates similarly PAI-1 synthesis in the Sertoli cell line, while 8-bromo-cAMP has no effect. These results suggest for the first time the existence of a direct linkage between molecular events triggered by phagocytosis and regulation of tPA and PAI-1 in Sertoli cells.

Abstract
To clarify the exact role of Sertoli cells in testicular intercellular communications, a murine Sertoli cell line (42GPA9) has recently been established. Electron-microscopy studies indicate that the morphology of these immortalized cells strongly resembles that of mouse Sertoli cells in vivo with an indentend nucleus, elongated mitochondria and numerous lysosome-like structures. Ultrastructure analysis has also revealed that 42GPA9 cells form gap junctions as demonstrated by the presence of small electron-dense bridges that connect the plasma membranes of adjacent cells. The gap junction protein connexin 43 (Cx43) has been identified in cultured 42GPA9 cells by immunofluorescence and Western blot analysis. No immunostaining is detected in the absence of apparent intercellular contact. The anti-Cx43 antibody labels the contacts between 42GPA9 cells at confluency. This specific staining appears as small dots forming isolated rows of dots or surrounding the entire cell, suggesting that Cx43 is assembled into membrane plaques. The gap junctional communication capacity of the 42GPA9 cell line has been demonstrated by the dye-transfer technique. Exposure of 42GPA9 cells for 24 h to cAMP and 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate greatly reduces the Cx43 staining at cell-cell contacts and concomitantly increases the cytoplasmic staining, suggesting that these agents alter the trafficking of Cx43 to the plasma membrane. Thus, the 42GPA9 line may provide a useful in vitro model for studying gap junction communication between Sertoli cells.

Abstract
Post-transcriptional gene silencing (cosuppression) results in the degradation of RNA after transcription. A transgenic Arabidopsis line showing post-transcriptional silencing of a 35S-uidA transgene and uidA-specific methylation was mutagenized using ethyl methanesulfonate. Six independent plants were isolated in which uidA mRNA accumulation and beta-glucuronidase activity were increased up to 3500-fold, whereas the transcription rate of the 35S-uidA transgene was increased only up to threefold. These plants each carried a recessive monogenic mutation that is responsible for the release of silencing. These mutations defined two genetic loci, called sgs1 and sgs2 (for suppressor of gene silencing). Transgene methylation was distinctly modified in sgs1 and sgs2 mutants. However, methylation of centromeric repeats was not affected, indicating that sgs mutants differ from ddm (for decrease in DNA methylation) and som (for somniferous) mutants. Indeed, unlike ddm and som mutations, sgs mutations were not able to release transcriptional silencing of a 35S-hpt transgene. Conversely, both sgs1 and sgs2 mutations were able to release cosuppression of host Nia genes and 35S-Nia2 transgenes. These results therefore indicate that sgs mutations act in trans to impede specifically transgene-induced post-transcriptional gene silencing.

Abstract
In the present study we report the isolation and characterization of a clonal Sertoli cell line (42GPA9) from sexually mature polyoma virus large T (PyLT) transgenic mice. The cells multiplied indefinitely and expressed large T antigen. The 42GPA9 cell line expressed biochemical features associated with normal Sertoli cells. Transferrin, sulfated glycoprotein-2, and the ligand of c-kit were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reactions and Western blot analyses. Zymographic analysis indicated that the 42GPA9 cell line secreted tissue-type plasminogen activator. These cells also retained FSH receptors as suggested by their specific responsiveness to the gonadotropin (morphological and phagocytic changes, stimulation of cAMP production) and the detection of FSH receptor mRNAs. Another original aspect of the 42GPA9 cell line is its ability to form tight junctions at confluency as demonstrated by electron microscopic study and immunolocalization of the tight junction-associated protein zonula occludens 1. The 42GPA9 cell line, which has retained several important hallmarks of normal Sertoli cells, may prove useful for further studies on Sertoli cell behavior and on Sertoli-germ cell interactions in the mature testis.

Abstract
The involvement of bradykinin, 5-hydroxytryptamine, substance P and prostanoids in the hyperalgesia elicited by collagenase in rat paw was investigated. Collagenase (100 micrograms) induced a slight hyperalgesia in kininogen deficient rats in comparison with the behavioural response obtained in normal rats. Lisinopril (10(-5) M), and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, increased the duration of the hyperalgesia elicited in normal rats. Ondansetron (0.5 to 5 mumol/kg), a 5-HT3 antagonist, suppressed the hyperalgesia as did methysergide (1.1 to 11 mumol/kg), a mixed 5-HT1 and 5-HT2 receptor antagonist. However, the hyperalgesia was not modified by RP 67580 (1.8 to 18 mumol/kg), a NK1 receptor antagonist, and was only slightly delayed by indomethacin (2 mg/kg), a cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor. The oedema-promoting effect of 5-HT (6 nmol) was inhibited by methysergide but not by ondansetron. The swelling induced by collagenase in rat paw was reduced by methysergide but not by ondansetron. We conclude that the behavioural response induced by collagenase depends on an interactions between bradykinin and 5-HT. Prostanoids play a minor role in the beginning of the reaction whereas substance P is not significantly involved in this hyperalgesia.

Abstract
Injection of substance P (SP) in a rat hindpaw induced extravasation of 125I-labelled albumin in both hindpaws and salivation. Intravenous injection of SP dose-dependently increased vascular permeability. This latter effect was increased in rat paws by captopril, an inhibitor of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), administered locally in combination with diprotin A, an inhibitor of an dipeptidyl(amino)peptidase IV (DAP IV) or phosphoramidon, an inhibitor of neutral endopeptidase (NEP). The increase in permeability induced by SP was inhibited by RP 67580, a NK-1-receptor antagonist. Intravenous injection of capsaicin induced labelled albumin extravasation in rat paws. This effect was increased by combination of captopril with diprotin A or phosphoramidon, but not by captopril associated with amastatin, an inhibitor of aminopeptidase M (AmM). It was suppressed by RP 67580. Injection of collagenase in rat paws triggered a swelling and a local plasma exudation. These responses were reduced by RP 67580 but not by RP 68651, its inactive enantiomer. They were increased by combination of captopril with diprotin A or phosphoramidon in normal rats. The potentiating effects of captopril and diprotin A were suppressed by RP 67580 in normal rats but did not develop in kininogen-deficient rats. The oedema induced by collagenase was also increased by lisinopril, another ACE inhibitor, administered locally in combination with apstatin, an inhibitor of aminopeptidase P (AmP). In rats pretreated by methysergide, collagenase-induced oedema was reduced and can be increased by captopril, by lisinopril, administered alone or by lisinopril associated with apstatin. It is concluded that SP is mainly inactivated in rat paws by ACE, DAP IV and NEP. In collagenase-induced oedema, a low amount of SP would be released from afferent nerve terminals by bradykinin formed in low amounts. Bradykinin is inactivated in rat paws by ACE and AmP. In collagenase-oedema, the pro-inflammatory effects of bradykinin are concealed by the effects of the other mediators.

Abstract
The mechanism of the myostimulating activity of rat tissue kallikrein on rat uterus was re-examined using uterus from kininogen-deficient rats and HOE 140 (D-Arg[Hyp3, Thi5, D-Tic7, Oic8]bradykinin), a specific bradykinin receptor-B2 antagonist. The uterus from kininogen-deficient rats was 50 times less sensitive to rat kallikrein than that from normal rats. HOE 140 (6 to 60 nM) inhibited the contracting effects of bradykinin and of rat kallikrein. Porcine kallikrein had no effect on rat uterus. Bradykinin and rat kallikrein induced a relaxation of rat duodenum. The duodenum from kininogen-deficient rats was 100 times less sensitive to rat kallikrein than the duodenum from normal rats. HOE 140 (0.6 to 3 nM) inhibited the relaxing effects of bradykinin and of kallikrein. Preincubation of rat kallikrein with aprotinin (Trasylol) abolished the effects of kallikrein on smooth muscles. HOE 140 inhibited the amidolytic activity of tissue kallikrein with a Ki value of 220 microM. HOE 140, at micromolar concentrations, suppressed the kininogenase activity of tissue kallikrein. Plasma of deficient rats contained 0.7% of the normal levels of kininogens. After washing the blood vessels with saline, kininogens were present in uterine homogenates but not in duodenal homogenates from both rat strains.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The salivary flow elicited by phenylephrine was reduced in kininogen-deficient rats or by pretreatment of normal Wistar rats with HOE 140, a bradykinin antagonist. Salivary flow induced by substance P was similar in normal and kininogen-deficient rats. Phenylephrine released large amounts of kallikrein in saliva. Isoproterenol was less active while pilocarpine and substance P induced a small secretion of kallikrein. The saliva produced by anaesthetized rats in response to heat stress contained low levels of kallikrein. However a large depletion of the kallikrein content of submaxillary glands was observed in awake animals exposed to 36 degrees C and 40 degrees C for one hour. This depletion was suppressed by prazosin administered with a beta-adrenergic antagonist. Administered alone, these drugs had no effect, whereas atropine increased the depletion. The presence of kallikrein was observed in the oedema fluid which developed around the submaxillary glands in rats pretreated with atropine or exposed to 40 degrees C. A consumption of plasma kininogens occurred during heat exposure. The reflex-induced release of kallikrein during heat exposure is mainly controlled by sympathetic nerves through activation of both alpha and beta-adrenoreceptors. This release induces the formation of kinins which participate to the thermolytic salivation.

Abstract
The large T antigen of polyomavirus (PyLT) efficiently immortalizes rodent fibroblasts, but, unlike SV40 T antigen, it is not sufficient to achieve complete oncogenic transformation. We analysed a series of transgenic mouse families that express the PyLT protein under control of the viral enhancer-promoter region. In all of them, the transgene was expressed in the seminiferous epithelium of the testis (Sertoli and germ cells), with no pathological consequences during most of the animals' lives. However, every old male developed large bilateral tumours of the testes, generated by the proliferation of Sertoli cell derivatives. Cell lines could be readily established both from the tumours and from the still apparently normal testis before the onset of tumoral growth. They retained in vitro morphological and ultrastructural features characteristic of Sertoli cells. But, in addition to this major Sertoli component, the maintenance of a cellular contingent of germinal origin was suggested by the expression of genes that are normally transcribed during the premeiotic and early meiotic stages of spermatogenesis (LDH-X, Hox1.4 and c-kit). The two cell types remained tightly associated, even at late passages in culture, and could not be separated by conventional cloning procedures. This association in culture of the two cell types whose interaction is critical for spermatogenesis may provide a useful tool for its molecular analysis.

Abstract
Platelet-activating factor (PAF; 2.5 micrograms/kg) injected in the tail vein of anaesthetized rats increased the vascular permeability of the duodenum, paws, skin and muscles, as measured by the extravasation of 125I-labelled albumin. It did not affect the permeability of the lungs or the presence of labelled albumin in the liver and spleen. The effects of PAF were dose dependently inhibited by WEB 2086 (ID50: 1.39 to 2.09 mg/kg) and SM-12502 (ID50: 7.17 to 8.36 mg/kg). Zymosan, an activator of the alternative complement pathway (10 or 16 mg/kg), induced protein extravasation in the lungs, duodenum, paws and skin, and the accumulation of labelled albumin in the liver. The effects of zymosan on the duodenum and liver were dose dependently inhibited by WEB-2086 and SM-12502. Both PAF antagonists increased the effects of zymosan in the paws but they did not affect protein extravasation in the lungs. The hypotensive effect of PAF (0.5 micrograms/kg) was inhibited by WEB 2086 (ID50: 1.21 mg/kg) and SM-12502 (ID50: 13.4 mg/kg). Both PAF antagonists reduced the hypotensive effects of zymosan (4 or 16 mg/kg) with a similar relative inhibitory potency. PAF is the major mediator involved in the hypotensive effect of zymosan but plays only a minor role in the permeability-enhancing effect of zymosan, mostly in the splanchnic area.

Abstract
The distribution in the nervous system of T-kininogen, the third kallikrein-resistant kininogen of the rat, was determined using bioassays and a radioimmunoassay system. In rat brain homogenates, trypsin released large amounts of a kinin-like myostimulating activity while urinary kallikrein released small amounts. The kinins released by trypsin were identified by HPLC as mostly T-kinin. Radioimmunoassays showed that a T-kininogen-like immunoreactive factor was uniformly distributed throughout the central nervous system. Higher levels were found in female rats than in male rats. Maximum levels were observed in newborn animals. A slight increase of T-kininogen content of the brain was observed after turpentine injection while T-kininogen level in liver was dramatically increased. T-kininogen plasma contamination to the nervous tissues was estimated by injecting 125I-labelled T-kininogen. The T-kininogen content of rat cultured cells and neurons was also examined. Highest levels were found in dorsal root ganglia neurons, lower levels in Schwann cells, phaeochromocytoma cells, mixed cells from spinal ganglion and in astrocytes. Immunocytochemistry showed the presence of T-kininogen in the cytoplasm of cultured dorsal root ganglia neurons and embryonic hippocampal neurons. The distribution of T-kininogen throughout the central and peripheral nervous system of the rat, the variations of its level during the life span suggest that T-kininogen would play the role of a cysteine proteinase inhibitor and not that of a T-kinin-releasing substrate in nervous tissues.

Abstract
1. Kinins were measured by a radioimmunoassay in the inflammatory exudates induced by carrageenin or zymosan in the peritoneal cavity of normal Wistar rats and of kininogen-deficient Brown Norway rats. 2. After administration of carrageenin to normal rats, levels of immunoreactive kinins showed a single peak during the first two hours and then decreased. The presence of kinins preceded and accompanied the exudation of 125I-labelled albumin. Kinins were identified as bradykinin by chromatography. 3. Captopril, an inhibitor of kininase 2, increased the level of kinins and the volume of the exudates after carrageenin treatment. In Brown Norway rats, the volume of the exudates was small and contained little or undetectable amounts of immunoreactive kinins. 4. During zymosan-induced peritonitis, the exudates were devoid of immunoreactive kinins in both species. The volume of the exudates was larger in kininogen-deficient rats than in normal rats. 5. We conclude that in rats, the kinin system is a major factor responsible for the development of the inflammatory reactions induced by carrageenin, but is not involved in the reactions induced by zymosan.

Abstract
The involvement of the high molecular weight rat kininogen in the activation of the rat contact system by kaolin-cephalin, kaolin, sulfatides and ellagic acid has been investigated, using a rat plasma congenitally devoid of this kininogen. Coagulation times induced by these activators were shorter in normal as well as in deficient rat plasma than in normal human plasma. Coagulation times were prolonged in deficient rat plasma, when the incubation times was three min or less. By kaolin or cephalin-kaolin, this prolongation disappeared when the incubation time reached ten min. The activation of plasma prekallikrein developed slowly in deficient plasma with all the triggers but reached control level after ten min of incubation. By kaolin-cephalin, the activation of Hageman factor was weak and slow in deficient plasma during the ten min of incubation. In rat, high molecular weight kininogen plays thus a role in the activation of the contact system by these triggers. But this role seems to be less important than in human plasma.

Abstract
We studied the influence of aprotinin and soya bean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI) on the inflammatory reaction induced by the implantation of dry sponges in normal Wistar rats and in kininogen-deficient Brown Norway rats, during the first day after the implantation. In normal rats, aprotinin reduced the volume and total protein content of the exudates at 3 h but not thereafter. Aprotinin also markedly reduced the immunoreactive kinins and kallikrein in the exudates. Aprotinin did not modify the volume of the exudates of the Brown Norway rats. SBTI reduced the inflammatory reaction in both rat strains but did not significantly modify the formation of immunoreactive kinins. The inflammatory reaction developed more slowly in Brown Norway rats. The kinin system is thus involved during the first hours of the development of this acute inflammatory reaction. The anti-inflammatory effect of SBTI does not depend on the inhibition of kinin formation.

Abstract
1. The content of kinins and T-kininogen (the third kininogen) in exudates induced by the subcutaneous implantation of saline-soaked sponges have been measured by radioimmunoassay in normal Wistar rats and in Brown Norway rats from a strain which is deficient in high and low molecular weight kininogens. 2. In both strains, sponge implantation induced a rise of T-kininogen in plasma with subsequent accumulation in the sponge exudate. This accumulation correlated with the extravasation of plasma proteins during the first 6 h. Bioassays showed that the T-kinin moiety was retained in T-kininogen. 3. In Wistar rats, a large release of immunoreactive kinins up to a mean value of 6.4 ng ml-1 was observed during the first 6 h and on the second day after the implantation. In Brown Norway rats, the kinin level in the exudates did not exceed 0.53 ng ml-1. 4. Of the kinins present during the first 6 h in the exudates withdrawn from Wistar rats, 60% were identified by high performance liquid chromatography as bradykinin. 5. The volume of the exudate induced by the implantation of dry sponges was smaller in Brown Norway rats than in Wistar rats. 6. We conclude that the role of T-kininogen in this kind of exudate was mainly the inhibition of thiol proteinases and not the release of T-kinin. In Wistar rats, bradykinin acts as a pro-inflammatory factor during the first hours and may play a role during the healing process.

Abstract
Antibodies raised in rabbits against rat T-kininogen (alpha 1-cysteine proteinase inhibitor) were used to develop a radioimmunoassay and a nephelometric quantification for T-kininogen. These assays were specific and analytically reliable. We also described a radioimmunoassay for kinin measurement. These immunological methods have been used to study the behaviour of T-kininogen during inflammatory processes and specify the two properties of this kind of kininogen: its inhibitory capacity towards cysteine proteinases and its activity as precursor of T-kinin. Control plasma level of T-kininogen in male rats was lower than that of female rats. The maximum level was observed in plasma, liver, kidney and uterus of female rats during metestrus. After turpentine injection, T-kininogen level increased not only in plasma but also in liver and kidney. In carrageenan-induced peritoneal exudates, we found a large accumulation of T-kininogen and of immunoreactive kinins, these latter being identified by HPLC as bradykinin.

Abstract
A rapid and convenient three-step purification scheme has been developed for the purification of T-kininogen (alpha 1-cysteine proteinase inhibitor) from rat plasma. The purification process includes chromatography on hydroxyapatite, immunoaffinity chromatography and gel filtration. This procedure is applied to plasma from the brown Norway rat which is known to be deficient in high and low molecular weight kininogens. The method furnished large amounts of T-kininogen from turpentine-treated Wistar rats as well as from untreated and turpentine-treated deficient brown Norway rats. The amino acid and hexose content of the three T-kininogens has been determined. While the composition of the molecules isolated from both injured rats was similar, the neutral sugar content of T-kininogen purified from untreated brown Norway rats was lower and its amino acid composition showed slight differences. The three molecules have identical behaviour and similar physicochemical and immunological properties when analysed by SDS electrophoresis, isoelectrofocusing and two-dimensional immunoelectrophoresis.

Abstract
The influence of serum from normal and turpentine-treated rats on prostaglandin synthesis by peritoneal cells has been investigated. Both types of serum had the same inhibitory effect on the formation of myostimulating prostaglandin-like substances and of 14C-PGE2 by rat peritoneal cells in the presence of 82 or 100 mumol of arachidonic acid. On guinea-pig peritoneal cells, the serum from turpentine-treated rats had a smaller inhibitory effect than normal serum on 14C-PGE2 and 14C-HETE formation from 2 mumol of arachidonic acid. Thus the acute inflammatory reaction produced by turpentine did not increase the inhibitory effect of rat serum on prostaglandin synthesis. It is suggested that the anti-inflammatory effect of counter irritation by turpentine does not depend on prostaglandin synthesis inhibition but has to be attributed to some other mechanisms.

Abstract
Catechin dimers induce a large long-lasting oedema when injected in the paw of the rat. This oedema is not inhibited by methysergide, promethazine, indomethacin, phenidone, bromophenacyl bromide and colchicine. It is not modified in rats made leukopenic by methotrexate. It is slightly delayed in Brown Norway rats which were kallikrein-kininogen deficient. Similarly catechin dimers induce the formation of a large peritoneal exudate in the rat. The exudate contains insignificant levels of leucocytes and 5-hydroxytryptamine. It contains kinins but its PG content is very low. The exudate does not activate (14C)-arachidonic acid into PG. Catechin dimers induce kinin formation in rat plasma "in vitro". They inhibit the formation of PG and HETE-like compounds from (14C)-arachidonic acid by rat peritoneal cells "in vitro". Catechin dimers administered at sub-irritant doses reduced carrageenan-induced oedema. Catechin dimers at low doses have an anti-inflammatory effect which may depend on PG synthesis inhibition. At larger doses, they induce inflammatory responses which occur with almost complete lack of participation of PG.
