    Notes: An immunization protocol that induces antibodies (Abs) directed to cryptic epitopes of a protein antigen (Ag) reduces the efficacy of vaccines that ideally should induce Abs against native epitopes. We have shown earlier that viral infections concomitant with immunization against a protein tend to shift the Ab specificity toward cryptic epitopes and tend to induce the production of autoantibodies (autoAbs). Here, we show the effects of three adjuvants on the Ab specificity in the absence or presence of a viral infection (lactate dehydrogenase-elevating virus or LDV), with human growth hormone (hGH) being, as before, the protein Ag.Pathogen-free CBA/Ht and BALB/c mice were immunized with hGH in the presence of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA), monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL) or alum, with the animals being either infected with LDV or not infected with LDV. Conventional and competition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) indicated that in noninfected mice, CFA induced higher titres of anti-hGH Ab than did MPL or alum, with the Ab being almost totally directed to cryptic hGH epitopes. Strikingly, CFA plus LDV infection in CBA/Ht mice shifted the specificity of the anti-hGH Ab toward native epitopes, whereas the virus decreased the Ab titre when MPL or alum was used. Our Western blot results showed that 70% of mice immunized with hGH in the presence of any adjuvant produced autoAbs against a variety of tissue Ags. The amount of autoAb and the concentration of Ab to hGH cryptic epitopes did correlate, suggesting a relationship between both kinds of Ab. Significant differences were observed in the various effects of adjuvants and the viral infection between the two mouse strains used in this work.

    Notes: Oxidative damage is the major responsible for mitochondrial dysfunction during aging and many neurodegenerative diseases with respiratory chain Complex I mostly affected. A down-regulation of the mitochondrial respiratory chain Complex-I subunits ND1 (mitochondrial encoded) in rat total cerebral cortex RNA and 39 kDa (nuclear encoded) in frontal cortex protein extracts was observed at 6, 12 and 28 months of age. However the 39 kDa subunit showed an age-related up-regulation in the parietal cortex and no changes in the cerebellum protein extracts. In frontal and parietal cortex protein extracts a significant reduction of subunit α (nuclear encoded) of FoF1-ATP synthase, with no changes in the cerebellum, were also observed. A similar impairment was found also for mitochondrial adenine nucleotide translocator ANT-1 in total rat cerebral cortex RNA. Any change of subunit synthesis might lead to neuronal dysfunction and increase of ROS.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La dissection de 48 pièces cadavériques, confrontée à des données opératoires, permet de rappeler la forme, la taille et la situation de cette glande chez l'adulte. La constitution de la loge thymique puis les rapports du thymus avec, en particulier, les vaisseaux du médiastin supérieur et la base du cou sont étudiés. Les positions respectives des glandes parathyroïdes inférieures et du thymus avec l'incidence de cette topographie dans la chirurgie de ces glandes, sont précisées. La vascularisation artérielle de la glande, encore très riche chez l'adulte est en faveur d'un organe fonctionnel dont l'involution physiologique est lente.
    Notes: Summary The dissection of. 48 cadaveric specimens has been compared with operative findings for a review of the shape, size and site of this gland in the adult. The structure of the thymic compartment and the relations of the thymus, particularly with the vessels of the superior mediastinum and the base of the neck, were studied. The relative positions of the inferior parathyroid glands and the thymus were identified, with respect to the influence of this topography on the surgery of these glands. The arterial suply to the thymus, which is still very abundant in the adult, presupposes a functional organ whose physiologic involution is slow.

    Notes: Résumé Les caractères anatomiques du système constitué par les deux artères vertébrales, leur trajet extracrânien intimement lié au rachis cervical, leurs collatérales, les possibilités de suppléance ainsi offertes expliquent les particularités de la pathologie circulatoire vertébro-basilaire. L'efficacité du couple vertébral peut cependant être contrariée par l'inégalité des deux piliers vertébraux, voire par l'hypoplasie de l'un d'entre eux. L'importance des réseaux anastomotiques tient moins à leur potentiel fonctionnel physiologique qu'à leur intervention possible dans la limitation d'un processus de thrombose.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Verabreicht manl-Dopa (1000 mg/kg per os) an Meerschweinchen, so kann dadurch das konditionierte Verhalten gehemmt werden, während das Spontanverhalten und die Motilität unverändert bleiben. Es sind keine Modifikationen des Elektrokardiogramms festzustellen, selbst dann nicht, wenn die 60fache mittlere therapeutische Tagesdosis gegeben wird.
    Notes: Conclusions The effects ofl-DOPA administered per os on conditioning, spontaneous behavior and the electrocardiogram of the guinea-pig are reported and compared.l-DOPA is able to inhibit the conditioned behavior in doses per os without any effect on spontaneous behavior or motility. Moreoverl-DOPA in doses up to 15 times higher than the average therapeutic daily dose pro kg used in man (TDD), does not alter the ECG of the guinea-pig. We did not observe ECG changes even after a total dose pro kg 60 times higher than TDD, which induced behavioral alterations in the 4 treated animals and one death. The present results may indicate psychotropic properties forl-DOPA and do confirm the low toxicity and cardiotoxicity of the drug, when supplied in a pure preparation of quality 12.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les auteurs rapportent leur expérience basée sur l'étude anatomique de la région coeliaque de Luschka et sur la pratique des prélèvements multiorganes en vue de transplantations. Ils précisent les limites et le contenu de la région coeliaque et en particulier: la position du tronc coeliaque par rapport au ligament arqué médian du diaphragme, les rapports respectifs des branches collatérales de l'aorte abdominale, la place occupée par le plexus coeliaque et sa situation par rapport à la v. rénale gauche. A partir de ces éléments, ils décrivent une voie d'abord originale, transplexique, des origines du tronc coeliaque et de l'artère mésentérique supérieure. Ils montrent l'importance de cette voie d'abord, aussi bien en chirurgie vasculaire digestive que lors des prélèvements multiorganes, en vue de transplantations.
    Notes: Summary The authors report their experience based on the anatomical study of the celiac region and on the practice of abdominal multiorgan removal for transplantation. They particularly concentrate on the limits and the content of the celiac region of Luschka and particularly: the position of the celiac axis in relation to the median arcuate ligament of the diaphragm, the relations of the collateral branches of the abdominal aorta, the place being taken by the celiac plexus and its situation in relation to the left renal v. From these elements, they describe an original transplexus surgical exposure of the origins of the celiac axis and of the superior mesenteric a. They show the importance of this approach in abdominal vascular surgery and during abdominal multiorgan removal in transplantation.

    Notes: Résumé A partir d'un travail réalisé d'après 66 dissections du diaphragme et 4 séries de coupes, les auteurs présentent une étude descriptive et topographique du foramen de la veine cave. Ils précisent la forme ovalaire de cet orifice, ses dimensions et la distance qui le sépare des parois du thorax. Ils montrent que le foramen diaphragmatique est réalisé par la superposition de deux plans fibreux et qu'il existe un véritable canal diaphragmatique de la veine cave. Les auteurs rappellent la proximité du foramen de la veine cave et du hiatus œsophagien. Ils étudient enfin la vascularisation des berges du foramen.
