New pattern of EGFR amplification in glioblastoma and the relationship of gene copy number with gene expression profile
2010
Gene amplification is a process that is characterized by an increase in the copy number of a restricted region in a chromosome arm, and is frequently associated with an overexpression of the corresponding amplified gene. Amplified DNA can be organized either as extrachromosomal elements, repeated units at a single locus or scattered throughout the genome. The amplification of the gene for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a common finding in glioblastomas and the amplified gene copies appears as double minutes. The aim of this study was to investigate the different patterns of EGFR amplification in 40 cases of glioblastoma using FISH analysis in metaphases and paraffin sections, an…
Effect of implant macro-design on primary stability: A prospective clinical study
2016
Background Implant restorations have become a high predictable treatment option. Several caracteristics such as surgical technique and implant design can influence the treatment outcomes. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of implant macro-design on primary stability measured with resonance frequency analysis (RFA) and insertion torque (IT). Material and Methods A total of 47 implants divided in two groups: Test group (TI): 22 Tapered MIS® Seven implants; Control group (CI): 25 cylindrical Astra® Osseospeed implants. All implants were inserted following the manufacturers’ standard protocols. Implant primary stability was measured at the moment of implant placement by…
Distinct neuropsychological profiles correspond to distribution of cortical thinning in inherited prion disease caused by insertional mutation
2012
Background The human prion diseases are a group of universally fatal neurodegenerative disorders associated with the auto-catalytic misfolding of the normal cell surface prion protein (PrP). Mutations causative of inherited human prion disease (IPD) include an insertion of six additional octapeptide repeats (6-OPRI) and a missense mutation (P102L) with large families segregating for each mutation residing in southern England. Here we report for the first time the neuropsychological and clinical assessments in these two groups. Method The cognitive profiles addressing all major domains were obtained for 26 patients (18 6-OPRI, 8 P102L) and the cortical thickness determined using 1.5T MRI in …
Polymorphism insertion/deletion of the ACE gene and ambulatory blood pressure circadian variability in essential hypertension
2001
OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study was to analyze the influence of the insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme on ambulatory blood pressure values and circadian variability in untreated patients with hypertension. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ninety-nine essential hypertensive patients, less than 50 years old (mean age 39.5+/-7.0 years), previously untreated with antihypertensive drugs were included. Twenty-four hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) was performed with a Spacelabs (90202 and 90207) monitor, during a regular working day in unrestricted ambulatory conditions. The I/D polymorphism of the ACE was determined by PCR. RESULTS The dist…
Detection of a new 3-base pair insertion mutation in the protease gene of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 during highly active antiretroviral the…
2005
To investigate a new insertion mutation in the protease (PR) gene of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) in a patient extensively pretreated with antiretroviral drugs, genotypic analyses of plasma-derived viruses were performed by sequencing segments of 1302 nucleotides in the pol gene of HIV-1. Despite optimal compliance to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) the patient showed poor virological success. Nucleotide sequences of retrospective available plasma samples exhibited a previously unknown 3-bp insertion mutation, corresponding to a leucine, between codons 31 and 32 of the PR gene. This kind of mutation appears to be very rare and it does not seem to be associated wi…

L'insertion professionnelle et la formation en cours d'emploi
1994
International audience; Que l'éducation joue un rôle essentiel dans tout processus de développement, tous les travaux convergent pour l'affirmer. Il en est ainsi de ceux des macroéconomistes qui lui attribuent une part importante des taux de croissance, et des analystes du rendement de l'éducation qui calculent des taux de rendement, surtout dans le primaire, plus élevés que ceux de la majorité des investissements industriels. Quant aux enquêtes de terrain, elles montrent que les agriculteurs et petits entrepreneurs éduqués ont des productivités plus élevées que celles de leurs homologues qui ne le sont pas. En Afrique, malgré des dépenses relativement élevées consacrées à l'éducation, les …
