Granulocytes of sea anemone Actinia equina (Linnaeus, 1758) body fluid contain and release cytolysins forming plaques of lysis

2014

The Cnidaria phylum includes organisms that are among the most poisonous animals. The exact composition of cnidarian bioactive molecules is not known in detail, but little is known on the cells that produce the toxins. Here we have shown that the presence of cytolysins is not exclusive of nematocysts. A plaque-forming assay was carried out with cell populations extracted from the percoled body fluid showed for the first time that anthozoan granulocytes are able to form plaque of lysis. We have partitioned the total population of free cells into three distinct discrete bands by discontinuous Percoll gradient, and we have identified six small different types cells: morular granulocytes; cells…

Castil-Blaze, historien des institutions lyriques de Paris : sources et méthodes de l’Académie impériale de musique

2017

International audience; L’Académie impériale de musique ou Théâtres lyriques de Paris. L’Académie impériale de musique. Histoire littéraire, musicale, chorégraphique, pittoresque, morale, critique, facétieuse, politique et galante de ce théâtre de 1645 à 1855, est un ouvrage ambitieux, achevé et édité par Castil-Blaze en 1855. Les sources et méthodes employées pour sa confection, ainsi que sa genèse – étroitement imbriquée à l’activité de chroniqueur de Castil-Blaze – seront interrogées, afin de mieux en cerner des contours parfois flous. Quant à sa finalité, elle est intimement liée à la personnalité complexe de Castil-Blaze qui envisage l’histoire de l’institution comme lieu privilégié de…

Prognostic and Predictive Role of Tumor-Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) in Ovarian Cancer

2022

In the last decade, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) have been recognized as clinically relevant prognostic markers for improved survival, providing the immunological basis for the development of new therapeutic strategies and showing a significant prognostic and predictive role in several malignancies, including ovarian cancer (OC). In fact, many OCs show TILs whose typology and degree of infiltration have been shown to be strongly correlated with prognosis and survival. The OC histological subtype with the higher presence of TILs is the high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) followed by the endometrioid subtype, whereas mucinous and clear cell OCs seem to contain a lower percentage of TI…

CD3+ and CD8+ T-Cell-Based Immune Cell Score and PD-(L)1 Expression in Pulmonary Metastases of Microsatellite Stable Colorectal Cancer

2022

Simple Summary The lung is the second most common site of metastases in colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of our study was to evaluate the prognostic value of CD3+ and CD8+ T-cell density based immune cell score (ICS) and PD-1/PD-L1 expression in resected pulmonary metastases of microsatellite stable CRC. The T-cell infiltration was higher in the first pulmonary metastases compared to primary tumour. Pulmonary metastases with high ICS had improved survival compared to low ICS after adjusting for confounders. High tumour cell PD-L1 expression was associated with favourable prognosis. Our results might have clinical feasibility in planning future therapies. Abstract The objective of this study…

Les projections d’orientation en STAPS chez les lycéennes : entre attractivité d’autres filières et cohérence d’habitus féminin

2023

Cette contribution montre que, si les lycéennes évoquent l’existence de représentations stéréotypées particulièrement présentes parmi leurs camarades (masculins en particulier) et plus encore parmi les médias (internet, réseaux sociaux et télévision), la formation (ou pas) d’un projet d’orientation en STAPS ne semble pas en premier lieu influencée par une représentation particulièrement masculine de la formation en STAPS et des métiers qui lui sont associés. Elle permet de souligner que les lycéennes qui n’envisagent pas de s’orienter en STAPS se caractérisent par des choix scolaires et sportifs ainsi que des goûts qui s’organisent autour de pratiques, de compétences et de dispositions assi…

LYCOPENE AND PROSTATE CANCER: AN OVERVIEW

2018

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world. Its pathogenesis is multifactorial and is linked to risk factors such as age, diet, cigarette smoking, family history and the onset of oxidative stress. In recent times, therefore, we are investigating the use of antioxidants as a primary and tertuary prevention of prostate cancer. Numerous studies in the literature focused on lycopene, a molecule belonging to the family of carotenoids that is commonly foud in tomatoes and products derived from it. The literature analyzed in the last two years shows how lycopene inhibits different mecchanism linked to carcinogenesis and tumor progression. However, there are still many points to…

Configuration of Strawberry Yield, Nutritional and Functional Traits in Response to LPE Application in a Two-Year Study

2023

Lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE) is a promising natural lysophospholipid which can be employed as a growth regulator for horticultural purposes. The present research was accomplished to investigate the effects of LPE (0 or 10 ppm) on the yield and quality of “Savana” strawberry plants grown during two consecutive cultivation cycles (I (2020–2021); II (2021–2022)). Plants cultivated in year I and treated with LPE revealed the highest total yield (838.3 g plant−1), marketable yield (735.4 g plant−1) and average marketable fruit weight (39.8 g plant−1). Fruits from year II plants treated with LPE had the highest total phenolics concentration (491.4 m…

Eirāzijas lūša Lynx lynx dzīvotnes raksturojums

2016

Daces Bērziņas Maģistra darba „Eirāzijas lūša Lynx lynx dzīvotnes raksturojums” mērķis ir noskaidrot lūšu dzīvotņu raksturojošās īpašības un izmantošanu. Pētījums veikts balstoties uz 2003. – 2007. gada Eirāzijas lūša Lynx lynx radio telemetrijas datiem. Noteikts, ka lūši, neskatoties uz lielajām platībām ar skuju un jaukto koku mežiem to teritorijās, izvēlas uzturēties lapu koku apgabalos, kā arī teritorijās ar sausieņu un nosusināto mežu īpatsvaru. Dzīvotnes izmantošanu nosaka pieejamie resursi tajā, dzīvnieka izvēle, traucējumi dzīvotnē, cilvēka ietekme. Dace Bērziņas maģistra darbs sastāv no četrām nodaļām ar astoņām apakšnodaļām. Darba tekstuālo informāciju papildina 19 attēli, deviņas…

Effects of Oral Supplementation with Myo-Inositol and D-Chiro-Inositol on Ovarian Functions in Female Long-Term Survivors of Lymphoma: Results from a…

2022

The progressive improvement of lymphoma treatment has led to an important prolongation of patient survival and life expectancy. The principal international scientific societies of oncology now therefore recommend that long-term survivors of lymphoma join fertility programs. Specifically, fertile-age patients should be assisted by a multidisciplinary team, including specialists dedicated to fertility preservation in oncology, in order to support the completion of their reproductive project. In the general population, the use of Myo-Inositol and D-Chiro-Inositol (MI/DCI) has been demonstrated to be an effective choice to treat ovarian dysfunctions, with a consequent improvement in reproductiv…
