Abstract
There is a lot of evidence that chicory could be a highly palatable and nutritious source of forage for ruminants, well adapted to climate change and dry conditions in summer, thanks to its resistance to drought and high water content. This study aimed to describe the effect of incorporating chicory to ryegrass or to a ryegrass-white clover mixture on feeding behaviour, digestive parameters, nitrogen (N) balance and methane (CH4) emissions in sheep. In total, three swards of ryegrass, white clover and chicory were established and managed in a manner ensuring the forage use at a constant vegetative stage throughout the experiment. In all, four dietary treatments (pure ryegrass; binary mixture: 50% ryegrass-50% chicory; ternary mixture: 50% ryegrass-25% white clover-25% chicory; and pure chicory) were evaluated in a 4×4 replicated Latin square design with eight young castrated Texel sheep. Each experimental period consisted of an 8-day diet adaptation phase, followed by a 6-day measuring phase during which intake dynamics, chewing activity, digestibility, rumen liquid passage rate, fermentation end-products, N balance and CH4 emissions were determined. Data were analysed using a mixed model and orthogonal contrasts were used to detect the potential associative effects between ryegrass and chicory. The daily voluntary dry matter intake was lower for pure ryegrass than for diets containing chicory (P<0.001) and increased quadratically from 1.39 to 1.74 kg/day with increasing proportion of chicory. Huge positive quadratic effects (P<0.001) between ryegrass and chicory were detected on eating time and eating rate just after feeding indicating an increase of the motivation to eat with mixtures, whereas rumination activity decreased linearly with the proportion of chicory (P<0.001). The organic matter digestibility was similar among treatments (around 80%), but a strong positive quadratic P<0.001) effect was observed on liquid passage rate suggesting that chicory allowed fast particle breakdown in the rumen. Animals fed with the ryegrass-white clover-chicory mixture had the higher urinary N losses (P<0.001), whereas retained N per day or per g N intake was greater when the proportion of chicory was at least 50% (P<0.001) being ~40% greater than for the other treatments. The CH4 yield was lower with pure chicory than with the other treatments (P<0.001) for which emissions were similar. In conclusion, mixing ryegrass and chicory in equal proportions produces a synergy on voluntary intake and an improved N use efficiency likely due to complementarity in chemical composition, increased motivation to eat and faster ruminal particle breakdown.

Abstract
Among techniques for estimating enteric methane (CH4) emission by ruminants, open-circuit respiration chambers (OC), the use of a gas tracer (SF6), and the GreenFeed (GF) device are the most commonly used. In this study, we compared these techniques in 8 dry cows receiving a diet made of 70% hay and 30% concentrates given in limited and constant amounts, in a 15-wk experiment. Two periods in free stalls for SF6 and GF and in chambers for OC were used; in addition, SF6 was determined in chambers for 1 period. Methane emission (g/d) and CH4 yield (g/kg DMI) were higher (P < 0.0001) for OC than for SF6 and GF (367, 310, and 319 g/d for OC, SF6, and GF, respectively). The difference between OC and GF was related to a difference in post-prandial rate of gas emission. The between-animal coefficient of variation of CH4 emission was higher for SF6 than for OC and GF (20.8, 13.5, and 12.0% on average, respectively). Correlation coefficients between OC and SF6 were high and significant for CH4 emission and CH4 yield (r = 0.782 and r = 0.717, respectively; P < 0.05), but not significant between OC and GF, or between SF6 and GF. Correlation coefficients were highly significant for SF6 determined either in free stalls or in chambers (r = 0.908 and 0.903 for CH4 in g/d and g/kg DMI, respectively; P < 0.01). Carbon dioxide (CO2) emission and CO2 yield were similar for GF and OC (10,003 and 9,887 g/d, 752 and 746 g/kg DMI, respectively); CO2 data obtained with SF6 were lower (7,718 g/d and 606 g/kg DMI; P < 0.0001), but this technique is not relevant for CO2 emission determination. Correlation coefficients between OC and GF were not significant for CO2 emission and CO2 yield. This set of results shows that differences between methods are minor for average values, but that individual correlations may limit their interchangeability for determining gas emissions of individual animals. This study also shows the reliability of GF on-farm determination of CH4 and CO2 emissions for groups of animals.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to test the effect of linseed oil and nitrate fed alone or in combination on methane (CH4) emissions and diet digestibility in cows. The experiment was conducted as a 2 × 2 factorial design using 4 multiparous nonlactating Holstein cows (initial BW 656 ± 31 kg). Each experimental period lasted 5 wk, with measures performed in the final 3 wk (wk 3 to 5). Diets given on a DM basis were 1) control (CON; 50% natural grassland hay and 50% concentrate), 2) CON with 4% linseed oil (LIN), 3) CON with 3% calcium nitrate (NIT), and 4) CON with 4% linseed oil plus 3% calcium nitrate (LIN+NIT). Diets were offered twice daily and were formulated to deliver similar amounts (DM basis) of CP (12.2%), starch (25.5%), and NDF (39.5%). Feed offer was restricted to 90% of voluntary intake (12.4 kg DMI/d). Total tract digestibility and N balance were determined from total feces and urine collected separately for 6 d during wk 4. Daily CH4 emissions were quantified using open chambers for 4 d during wk 5. Rumen fermentation and microbial parameters were analyzed from samples taken before and 3 h after the morning feeding. Rumen concentrations of dissolved hydrogen (H2) were measured continuously up to 6 h after feeding using a H2 sensor. Compared with the CON diet linseed oil and nitrate decreased (P < 0.01) CH4 emissions (g/kg DMI) by 17 and 22%, respectively, when fed alone and by 32% when combined. The LIN diet reduced CH4 production throughout the day, increased (P = 0.02) propionate proportion, and decreased (P = 0.03) ruminal protozoa concentration compared with CON diet. The NIT diet strongly reduced CH4 production 3 h after feeding, with a simultaneous increase in rumen dissolved H2 concentration, suggesting that nitrate does not act only as an electron acceptor. As a combined effect, linseed plus nitrate also increased H2 concentrations in the rumen. Diets had no effect (P > 0.05) on total tract digestibility of nutrients, except linseed oil, which tended to reduce (P < 0.10) fiber digestibility. Nitrogen balance (% of N intake) was positive for all diets but retention was less (P = 0.03) with linseed oil. This study demonstrates an additive effect between nitrate and linseed oil for reducing methanogenesis in cows without altering diet digestibility.

Abstract
The SF6 tracer technique (SF6) and GreenFeed system (GF) are two methods for measuring enteric methane (CH4) emissions from cattle. Both methods estimate individual daily CH4 emissions from expired gas samples collected either continuously over 24 h in a canister (SF6) or several times a day during short-term periods (3–8 min) when cattle visit an automated head chamber (GF). The objective of this work was to study repeatability (R) of each method according to duration of measurement period as an indicator of their precision. The R of CH4 measurements was evaluated in two different trials using cows. For Experiment 1, the SF6 technique was used for 20 days in six non-lactating dairy cows fed a hay-based diet; for Experiment 2, the GF system was used for 91 days in seven lactating dairy cows fed a maize silage-based diet. The CH4 data were grouped by periods of 1–10 days (SF6) and 1–45 days (GF). The CH4 emissions averaged 23.6 ± 3.9 g/kg dry matter intake (DMI) for the SF6 and 17.4 ± 3.3 g/kg DMI for the GF on the measurement period. To achieve an R value of 0.70 for CH4 emissions (g/kg DMI), 3-day periods were necessary for SF6 and 17-day periods for GF. The R did not increase after 4-day periods for SF6 (R = 0.73), but increased for GF until 45-day periods (R = 0.90). In our experimental conditions and R = 0.70, the total number of cows necessary to detect a significant difference in CH4 emissions (g/kg DMI) between two treatments (e.g. diet) was similar for SF6 and GF.

Abstract
An in vivo trial was conducted in sheep to investigate the effect of three tropical tannin-rich plants (TRP) on methane emission, intake and digestibility. The TRP used were leaves of Glyricidia sepium, Leucaena leucocephala and Manihot esculenta that contained, respectively, 39, 75 and 92 g condensed tannins/kg DM. Methane was determined with the sulphur hexafluoride tracer technique. Eight rumen-cannulated sheep of two breeds (four Texel, four Blackbelly) were used in two 4 × 4 Latin square designs. Four experimental diets were tested. They consisted in a tropical natural grassland hay based on Dichanthium spp. fed alone (C) or in association with G. sepium (G), L. leucocephala (L) or M. esculenta (M) given as pellets at 44% of the daily ration. Daily organic matter intake was higher in TRP diets (686, 984, 1054 and 1186 g/day for C, G, L and M respectively; p < 0.05) while apparent organic matter total tract digestibility was not affected (69.9%, 62.8%, 65.3% and 64.7% for C, G, L and M respectively; p > 0.05). Methane emission was 47.1, 44.9, 33.3 and 33.5 g/kg digestible organic matter intake for C, G, L and M, respectively, and was significantly lower (p < 0.05) for L and M than for G and C. Our results confirm the potential of some TRP to reduce methane production. The strong decrease in methane and the increase in intake with TRPs may be due to their presentation as pellets.

Abstract
Dehydrated lucerne is used as a protein source in dairy cow rations, but little is known about the effects of lucerne on greenhouse gas production by animals. Eight Holstein dairy cows (average weight: 582 kg) were used in a replicated 4 × 4 Latin square design. They received diets based on either maize silage (M) or grass silage (G) (45% of diet on dry matter (DM) basis), with either soya bean meal (15% of diet DM) completed with beet pulp (15% of diet DM) (SP) or dehydrated lucerne (L) (30% of diet DM) as protein sources; MSP, ML, GSP and GL diets were calculated to meet energy requirements for milk production by dairy cows and degradable protein for rumen microbes. Dry matter intake (DMI) did not differ among diets (18.0 kg/day DMI); milk production was higher with SP diets than with L diets (26.0 v. 24.1 kg/day), but milk production did not vary with forage type. Milk fatty-acid (FA) composition was modified by both forage and protein sources: L and G diets resulted in less saturated FA, less linoleic acid, more trans-monounsaturated FA, and more linolenic acid than SP and M diets, respectively. Enteric methane (CH4) production, measured by the SF6 tracer method, was higher for G diets than for M diets, but did not differ with protein source. The same effects were observed when CH4 was expressed per kg milk. Minor effects of diets on rumen fermentation pattern were observed. Manure CH4 emissions estimated from faecal organic matter were negatively related to diet digestibility and were thus higher for L than SP diets, and higher for M than G diets; the resulting difference in total CH4 production was small. Owing to diet formulation constraints, N intake was higher for SP than for L diets; interaction between forage type and protein source was significant for N intake. The same statistical effects were found for N in milk. Faecal and urinary N losses were determined from total faeces and urine collection. Faecal N output was lower for M than for G diets but did not differ between protein sources. Urinary N output did not differ between forage types, but was lower for cows fed L diets than for cows fed SP diets, potentially resulting in lower ammonia emissions with L diets. Replacing soya bean meal plus beet pulp with dehydrated lucerne did not change CH4 production, but resulted in more N in faeces and less N in urine.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Unexpected intraoperative movement may be detrimental during delicate surgery. This study tested retrospectively an algorithm based on beat-by-beat circulatory variables (incorporated into a Cardiovascular depth of anesthesia index: CARDEAN in relationship to unexpected movement, and compared its performance to that of the electroencephalogram (EEG)-derived index: BIS-XP 4.0. METHODS 40 ASA I or II patients presenting for knee surgery had EEG (BIS XP 4.0), beat-by-beat (Finapres) finger non-invasive blood pressure (BP), conventional brachial BP and electrocardiogram (EKG) monitors attached. Anesthesia was induced and maintained with propofol and remifentanil. Before incision, the propofol concentration was set to maintain BIS < 60. From incision to emergence, the anesthesiologist was denied access to BIS or Finapres. Anesthesia adjustment was titrated at the discretion of the anesthesiologist according to conventional signs only: brachial BP, EKG, eyelash reflex, movement. Occurrences of movement and eye signs (divergence of eyeballs, tears, corneal reflex, eyelash reflex) were observed. The CARDEAN algorithm was written retrospectively and tested vs. BIS. RESULTS 11 movements occurred in 8 patients. CARDEAN > 60 predicted movement in 30% of the cases, 15 to 274 s before movement (sensitivity: 100%, specificity: 95%; relative operating curve ROC = 0.98; prediction probability pk = 0.98). BIS > 60 predicted movement in 19% of cases (sensitivity: 64%; specificity: 94%, ROC: 0.85, pk: 0.85). CONCLUSION Retrospectively, a cardiovascular index predicted unexpected intraoperative movements. Prospective validation is needed.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the interindividual variability of chylomicron beta-carotene response to a pharmacological load of beta-carotene in the population, to identify the mechanisms responsible for this variability, and to evaluate its consequences on beta-carotene status and metabolism. The variability, as estimated by the 3-h chylomicron beta-carotene response to 120 mg beta-carotene in 79 healthy male volunteers, was high (CV = 61%), but it was unimodal and all the subjects had detectable chylomicron beta-carotene. In 16 subjects randomly selected among the 79, the interindividual variability of the triglyceride-adjusted chylomicron (beta-carotene + retinyl palmitate) response (0-12.5 h area under the curve) was high (CV = 54%), suggesting that there is a high interindividual variability in the efficiency of intestinal absorption of beta-carotene. The chylomicron beta-carotene response was correlated (r = 0.50, P < 0.05) with the chylomicron triglyceride response. The beta-carotene status, as assessed by beta-carotene concentration in buccal mucosal cells, was correlated (r = 0.73, P < 0.05) with the triglyceride-adjusted chylomicron beta-carotene response, i.e., with the ability to respond to beta-carotene. The triglyceride-adjusted chylomicron retinyl-palmitate response was correlated (r = 0.55, P < 0.05) with the triglyceride-adjusted chylomicron beta-carotene response. Plasma all-trans retinoic acid slightly, but significantly, increased (+40%) 3 h after the beta-carotene load, but this increase was not related to the triglyceride-adjusted beta-carotene response. In conclusion, the ability to respond to beta-carotene is highly variable, but there is probably a very small proportion of true non-responders to pharmacological doses of beta-carotene in the healthy population. This variability is apparently mainly due to interindividual differences in the efficiency of intestinal absorption of beta-carotene and in chylomicron metabolism. The ability to respond to beta-carotene can affect the beta-carotene status and the provitamin A activity of beta-carotene, but it has apparently no effect on the amount of retinoic acid appearing in the plasma after the ingestion of a pharmacological dose of beta-carotene.

Abstract
The effect of the ingestion of beta-carotene with medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) or long-chain triglycerides (LCT) on the bioavailability and the provitamin A activity of beta-carotene was investigated in humans. Sixteen healthy young men ingested, on two different days, a test meal containing 120 mg beta-carotene incorporated into 40 g LCT (LCT meal) or 40 g MCT (MCT meal). This meal was followed 6 h later by a beta-carotene-free meal containing 40 g LCT. Chylomicron beta-carotene, retinyl palmitate and triglycerides were measured every hour for 12.5 h after the first meal. No significant increase in chylomicron triglycerides was detected for the 6 h after the MCT meal intake, whereas a significant increase in chylomicron triglycerides was observed after the LCT meal intake. The chylomicron beta-carotene and retinyl palmitate responses to the MCT meal (0-6 h area under the curves, AUC) were significantly (P < 0.05) lower [AUC = 68.1 +/- 26.8 and 43. 4 +/- 10.4 nmol/(L.h), for beta-carotene and retinyl palmitate, respectively] than those obtained after the LCT meal [301.4 +/- 64.0 and 166.0 +/- 29.0 nmol/(L.h), respectively]. The chylomicron beta-carotene and retinyl palmitate responses obtained after the beta-carotene-free meal (6-12.5 h AUC) were also significantly lower when the first meal provided MCT rather than LCT. The chylomicron (retinyl palmitate/beta-carotene) ratios were constant during the postprandial periods, whatever the meal ingested. We conclude that the chylomicron beta-carotene response is markedly diminished when beta-carotene is absorbed with MCT instead of LCT. This phenomenon is apparently due to the lack of secretion of chylomicrons in response to MCT; however, a lower intestinal absorption of beta-carotene or a higher transport of beta-carotene via the portal way in the presence of MCT cannot be ruled out. Finally, the data obtained show that MCT do not affect the rate of intestinal conversion of beta-carotene into vitamin A.

Abstract
Several lines of evidence suggest that carotenoids may have a beneficial effect on health as a result of their antioxidant properties. In addition to beta-carotene, five other carotenoids are recovered in noticeable amounts from human plasma and tissues. Although the effect of beta-carotene on in vivo lipid peroxidation has been documented, few data are available on the effects of the other carotenoids. We evaluated the ability of the main human carotenoids to reduce lipid peroxidation by determining the correlations between plasma carotenoid concentration and plasma antioxidant capacity (in 79 healthy volunteers) and between carotenoid status and breath pentane excretion (in a subgroup of 24 subjects). Carotenoid intake was assessed by means of a 3-day food recall. Carotenoid status was evaluated by measurement of beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein/zeaxanthin, and alpha-carotene in plasma and buccal mucosal cells. Antioxidant status was evaluated by measurement of the total antioxidant capacity of the plasma. Oxidative stress status was evaluated by breath pentane measurements. Food recall data and the carotenoid concentrations in plasma and buccal mucosal cells showed that the subjects had normal carotenoid intake and normal carotenoid status. The total antioxidant capacity of the plasma was not related to the concentration of any specific carotenoid. The level of expired air pentane was not related to the carotenoid status of the subjects. These results show that normal concentrations of carotenoids in plasma and tissues are not correlated with these clinical markers of antioxidant and oxidative stress status.

Abstract
A young woman without remarkable medical history, experienced a life threatening anaphylactoid reaction after induction of general anaesthesia for an emergency curettage. Hypersensitivity reaction involving IgE antibodies against suxamethonium was proven by positive skin test and detection of specific IgE by radio-immuno assay. After intensive therapy for 2 to 3 hours, the patient exhibited rhabdomyolysis localized on both calves. This complication, which required fasciotomies, did not result in renal failure. Local and general outcome was good. Rhabdomyolysis was due to compartmental ischaemia following shock and local external compression in the lithotomy position.
