Les sécoiridoïdes d'Olea europaea et du Lonicera tatarica (matières premières destinées à la conception de nouveaux synthons chiraux pour la synthèse de composés biologiquement actifs et outils pour le développement de nouvelles méthodes d'extraction et de synthèse)

Les sécoiridoïdes sont des monoterpènes hautement fonctionnalisés utilisés comme matières premières chirales renouvelables en hémisynthèse, lorsqu ils sont abondants au sein des végétaux. Un nouveau procédé vert d extraction aqueuse et de purification utilisant des résines et la chromatographie de partage centrifuge a permis l isolement de plus de 100 g d oleuropéine des feuilles d Olea europaea et d une douzaine de grammes de sécologanoside et de sweroside des feuilles de Lonicera tatarica. L ouverture de la lactone du perpivaloylsweroside a été effectuée en milieu organique apolaire par le TMSONa. Cette réaction a été étendue à 8 lactones commerciales et 5 lactones de sécoiridoïdes. Une approche mécanistique de cette nouvelle réaction a été établie sur la g-butyrolactone à l aide d une étude cinétique. Cette réaction a été utilisée pour la conversion du sweroside en sécologanoside en quatre étapes. Cette approche séquentielle a été appliquée avec succès sur les dérivés du sweroside. Quatre nouveaux analogues du sécologanoside et 9 synthons chiraux originaux ont ainsi été isolés. De plus l étude de la réactivité de l oleuropéine a permis l obtention de 4 nouveaux synthons et un analogue isomérique du sécologanoside. Ces analogues de sécologanoside sont précurseurs de nouveaux alcaloïdes indolo-monoterpèniques. Enfin la double liaison exocyclique du sweroside a pu être sélectivement ozonolysée et épimérisée pour conduire à la formation d un synthon clé pour la synthèse de diterpènes cytotoxiques marins de types xénicanes.Secoiridoids are highly functionalized monoterpenes and can be used as renewable raw materials in semi-synthesis when they are abundant in plants. A new green process of water extraction and purification by resins or centrifugal partition chromatography allowed the isolation of more than 100 g of oleuropein from Olea europaea leaves and a dozen of grams of secologanin and sweroside from Lonicera tatarica leaves.The lactone ring opening of perpivaloylsweroside was achieved in apolar solvents by TMSONa. The scope of this reaction was extended to 8 commercial lactones and 5 secoiridoid lactones. A mechanistic approach of this new reaction on g-butyrolactone was established by kinetic studies. This reaction was used for the conversion of perpivaloylsweroside into secologanin, in four steps. This approach was successfully applied on sweroside derivatives. Four enantiopure secologanin analogs and 9 chiral synthons were isolated. Furthermore the reactivity study of oleuropein afforded 3 new synthons and one isomeric analog of secologanin. These secologanin analogs are synthetic precursors of new indolo-monoterpenic alkaloids. Finally the exocyclic double bond of sweroside was selectively ozonolyzed and epimerized to yield a key synthon for the synthesis of cytotoxic marine diterpenes xenicans.PARIS5-Bibliotheque electronique (751069902) / SudocPARIS-BIUM-Bib. électronique (751069903) / SudocSudocFranceF

Jeu en déviation et configurations du jeu en football

En football, l’accélération de la circulation du ballon ne peut se faire qu’en diminuant le nombre de touches de balle entre les partenaires. Confrontés à des réseaux défensifs très denses les joueurs choisissent souvent de ne plus contrôler du tout le ballon pour dépasser l’adversaire. Ils s’inscrivent alors dans ce que nous appellerons des combinaisons de jeu en déviation qui reposent sur une anticipation collective nécessitant une circulation systématiquement contradictoire de la balle. Les 40 séquences observées montrent une remarquable stabilité spatiale des configurations offensives. Ceci prouve que le jeu en déviation est une option économique, fiable et sécuritaire de progression vers le but adverse. Les attaquants puisent dans la défensive adverse les informations nécessaires à une auto-organisation fulgurante basée sur une simplicité des gestes et de la communication. Nous définirons les principes tactiques nécessaires au bon déroulement de ces combinaisons

Teolenn: an efficient and customizable workflow to design high-quality probes for microarray experiments

Despite the development of new high-throughput sequencing techniques, microarrays are still attractive tools to study small genome organisms, thanks to sample multiplexing and high-feature densities. However, the oligonucleotide design remains a delicate step for most users. A vast array of software is available to deal with this problem, but each program is developed with its own strategy, which makes the choice of the best solution difficult. Here we describe Teolenn, a universal probe design workflow developed with a flexible and customizable module organization allowing fixed or variable length oligonucleotide generation. In addition, our software is able to supply quality scores for each of the designed probes. In order to assess the relevance of these scores, we performed a real hybridization using a tiling array designed against the Trichoderma reesei fungus genome. We show that our scoring pipeline correlates with signal quality for 97.2% of all the designed probes, allowing for a posteriori comparisons between quality scores and signal intensities. This result is useful in discarding any bad scoring probes during the design step in order to get high-quality microarrays. Teolenn is available at http://transcriptome.ens.fr/teolenn/

Bone Marrow Transplant

Mucopolysaccharidosis type I-H (MPS I-H) is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by α-L-Iduronidase deficiency. Early haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the sole available therapeutic option to preserve neurocognitive functions. We report long-term follow-up (median 9 years, interquartile range 8-16.5) for 51 MPS I-H patients who underwent HSCT between 1986 and 2018 in France. 4 patients died from complications of HSCT and one from disease progression. Complete chimerism and normal α-L-Iduronidase activity were obtained in 84% and 71% of patients respectively. No difference of outcomes was observed between bone marrow and cord blood stem cell sources. All patients acquired independent walking and 91% and 78% acquired intelligible language or reading and writing. Intelligence Quotient evaluation (n = 23) showed that 69% had IQ ≥ 70 at last follow-up. 58% of patients had normal or remedial schooling and 62% of the 13 adults had good socio-professional insertion. Skeletal dysplasia as well as vision and hearing impairments progressed despite HSCT, with significant disability. These results provide a long-term assessment of HSCT efficacy in MPS I-H and could be useful in the evaluation of novel promising treatments such as gene therapy

Altimetry for the future: Building on 25 years of progress

In 2018 we celebrated 25 years of development of radar altimetry, and the progress achieved by this methodology in the fields of global and coastal oceanography, hydrology, geodesy and cryospheric sciences. Many symbolic major events have celebrated these developments, e.g., in Venice, Italy, the 15th (2006) and 20th (2012) years of progress and more recently, in 2018, in Ponta Delgada, Portugal, 25 Years of Progress in Radar Altimetry. On this latter occasion it was decided to collect contributions of scientists, engineers and managers involved in the worldwide altimetry community to depict the state of altimetry and propose recommendations for the altimetry of the future. This paper summarizes contributions and recommendations that were collected and provides guidance for future mission design, research activities, and sustainable operational radar altimetry data exploitation. Recommendations provided are fundamental for optimizing further scientific and operational advances of oceanographic observations by altimetry, including requirements for spatial and temporal resolution of altimetric measurements, their accuracy and continuity. There are also new challenges and new openings mentioned in the paper that are particularly crucial for observations at higher latitudes, for coastal oceanography, for cryospheric studies and for hydrology. The paper starts with a general introduction followed by a section on Earth System Science including Ocean Dynamics, Sea Level, the Coastal Ocean, Hydrology, the Cryosphere and Polar Oceans and the ‘‘Green” Ocean, extending the frontier from biogeochemistry to marine ecology. Applications are described in a subsequent section, which covers Operational Oceanography, Weather, Hurricane Wave and Wind Forecasting, Climate projection. Instruments’ development and satellite missions’ evolutions are described in a fourth section. A fifth section covers the key observations that altimeters provide and their potential complements, from other Earth observation measurements to in situ data. Section 6 identifies the data and methods and provides some accuracy and resolution requirements for the wet tropospheric correction, the orbit and other geodetic requirements, the Mean Sea Surface, Geoid and Mean Dynamic Topography, Calibration and Validation, data accuracy, data access and handling (including the DUACS system). Section 7 brings a transversal view on scales, integration, artificial intelligence, and capacity building (education and training). Section 8 reviews the programmatic issues followed by a conclusion

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome associated with COVID-19: An Emulated Target Trial Analysis.

RATIONALE: Whether COVID patients may benefit from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) compared with conventional invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) remains unknown. OBJECTIVES: To estimate the effect of ECMO on 90-Day mortality vs IMV only Methods: Among 4,244 critically ill adult patients with COVID-19 included in a multicenter cohort study, we emulated a target trial comparing the treatment strategies of initiating ECMO vs. no ECMO within 7 days of IMV in patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (PaO2/FiO2 <80 or PaCO2 ≥60 mmHg). We controlled for confounding using a multivariable Cox model based on predefined variables. MAIN RESULTS: 1,235 patients met the full eligibility criteria for the emulated trial, among whom 164 patients initiated ECMO. The ECMO strategy had a higher survival probability at Day-7 from the onset of eligibility criteria (87% vs 83%, risk difference: 4%, 95% CI 0;9%) which decreased during follow-up (survival at Day-90: 63% vs 65%, risk difference: -2%, 95% CI -10;5%). However, ECMO was associated with higher survival when performed in high-volume ECMO centers or in regions where a specific ECMO network organization was set up to handle high demand, and when initiated within the first 4 days of MV and in profoundly hypoxemic patients. CONCLUSIONS: In an emulated trial based on a nationwide COVID-19 cohort, we found differential survival over time of an ECMO compared with a no-ECMO strategy. However, ECMO was consistently associated with better outcomes when performed in high-volume centers and in regions with ECMO capacities specifically organized to handle high demand.
