The effect of peracetic acid on microbial community, water quality, nitrification and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) performance in recirculatin…
2020
Abstract Microbial biofilters control water quality and enable the overall function of recirculation aquaculture systems (RAS). Changes in environmental conditions can affect the abundance and interactions of the diverse microbial populations of the biofilter, affecting nitrification of harmful ammonium and thus fish health. Here, we examined the effect of different application frequencies (0, 1, 2 and 4 times per week) of a common disinfectant, peracetic acid (PAA, applied 1.1 mg l−1 twice per day), on biofilter microbial communities, focusing especially on nitrifying microbial groups and using a high throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene and quantitative PCR (qPCR). In addition, we measu…
The cholinergic system in Down's syndrome
2006
The cholinergic system is one of the most important modulatory neurotransmitter systems in the brain. Alterations of the transmission communicators are accompanied by reduction of the cortical activity, which is associated with a learning and memory deficit. Down's syndrome is a pathological condition characterized by a high number of abnormalities that involve the brain.The cholinergic system is involved in alterations of the neurological system such as severe learning difficulties.To explain these alterations, important results are obtained from studies about murine trisomy 16 (animal model of Down's syndrome).The results obtained provide useful elements in the improvement of knowledge ab…

Molecular characterization of Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum in Switzerland and France with a new multilocus sequence typing scheme
2018
Syphilis is an important public health problem and an increasing incidence has been noted in recent years. Characterization of strain diversity through molecular data plays a critical role in the epidemiological understanding of this re-emergence. We here propose a new high-resolution multilocus sequence typing (MLST) scheme for Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum (TPA). We analyzed 30 complete and draft TPA genomes obtained directly from clinical samples or from rabbit propagated strains to identify suitable typing loci and tested the new scheme on 120 clinical samples collected in Switzerland and France. Our analyses yielded three loci with high discriminatory power: TP0136, TP0548, and TP…
Stereochemical features of the hydrolysis of 9,10-epoxystearic acid catalysed by plant and mammalian epoxide hydrolases
2002
cis-9,10-Epoxystearic acid was used as a tool to probe the active sites of epoxide hydrolases (EHs) of mammalian and plant origin. We have compared the stereochemical features of the hydrolysis of this substrate catalysed by soluble and membrane-bound rat liver EHs, by soluble EH (purified to apparent homogeneity) obtained from maize seedlings or celeriac roots, and by recombinant soybean EH expressed in yeast. Plant EHs were found to differ in their enantioselectivity, i.e. their ability to discriminate between the two enantiomers of 9,10-epoxystearic acid. For example, while the maize enzyme hydrated both enantiomers at the same rate, the EH from soybean exhibited very high enantioselecti…
Utilidad del análisis de los parámetros metabólicos de la 18F-FDG PET/TC en pacientes con cáncer de mama. Valor añadido de la tomografía por emisión …

UTILIDAD DEL ANÁLISIS DE LOS PARÁMETROS METABÓLICOS DE LA 18F-FDG PET-TC EN PACIENTES CON CÁNCER DE MAMA. VALOR AÑADIDO DE LA TOMOGRAFÍA POR EMISIÓN DE POSITRONES (MAMMI-PET) La hipótesis principal es que los parámetros metabólicos obtenidos de la 18F-FDG PET/TC (SUV máx, GTL y VMT) en pacientes con cáncer de mama podrían ser útiles en la valoración pronóstica dependiendo del perfil IHQ de los tumores. Objetivos secundarios: - Correlacionar parámetros metabólicos analizados con perfiles IHQ. - Correlacionar parámetros metabólicos con características clínico-tumorales (edad, tipo y grado histológico, localización y tamaño tumoral, actividad proliferativa ki67, expresión de receptores). - Cor…
2-cinnamamido, 2-(3-phenylpropiolamido) and 2-(3-phenylpropanamido)benzamides: synthesis, antiproliferative activity and mechanism of action
2013
Several new 2-cinnamamido, 2-(3-phenylpropiolamido) and 2-(3-phenylpropanamido)benzamides were synthesized by stirring in pyridine the opportune acid chlorides with the appropriate anthranilamide derivatives. Some of the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their in vitro antiproliferative activity against a panel of 5 human cell lines (K562 human chronic myelogenous leukemia cells, MCF-7 breast cancer cells, HTC-116 and HT26 colon cancer cells and NCI H460 non-small cell lung cancer cells).
Microdiversity of Burkholderiales associated with mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal roots of Medicago truncatula
2008
The genetic diversity of bacterial communities associated with mycorrhizal and nonmycorrhizal roots of Medicago truncatula was characterized by two approaches. Firstly, phylogenetic analysis was performed on 164 partial 16S rRNA gene-intergenic spacer (IGS) sequences from operational taxonomic units previously shown to be preferentially associated with mycorrhizal roots. These sequences were distributed into three branches corresponding to Comamonadaceae, Oxalobacteraceae and Rubrivivax subgroups. Most sequences were obtained from mycorrhizal roots, indicating the preferential association of the corresponding families with mycorrhizal roots. A second phylogenetic analysis was performed on t…
Taste perception and integration
2016
Revue; IntroductionThe sense of taste is essential for the evaluation of food quality. It allows, at the level of the oral cavity, to evaluate the caloric content of the consumed food, to detect the presence of salt, and protect us against the ingestion of toxic molecules. Our gustatory system allows the perception of different food constituents as alkali metallic salts (salty), acids (sour), sugars (sweet), and bitter compounds. Umami is a different taste, arising from the perception of amino acids, such as l-glutamate, and 5′-ribonucleotides. Other taste qualities are still a matter of debate, including fat taste, corresponding to the taste of fatty acids (Khan and Besnard, 2009), metalli…
