    Avenanthramide (AV) 2a, 2p and 2f as well as five phenolic acids (vanillic, caffeic, p-coumaric, ferulic, and p-cinnamic) were quantified by LC-MS in six oat milling fractions (medium bran (MB), fine bran (FB), low bran (LB), whole oat groat flour (WF), 15% (15HG) and 20% high glucans). AVs content ranged from 323.7 to 775.5μg/g while the free phenolic acids content was much lower 103.5-194.6μg/g. The extraction procedure used greatly increased the concentration of identified molecules compared to previous data. FB had the highest content of both groups of phenols while WF contained the lowest. The peroxyl radical scavenging assay showed that granulation had no effect of on scavenging power as MB (31.8±2.3μMTE/g) and FB (27.7±2.1μMTE/g) had similar activities. Radical scavenging data correlated with AVs content but not with free phenolic acids, demonstrating that AVs were the main antioxidant compounds. The identity of quantified molecules was confirmed by mass spectrometry

    Modou s'est jete dans les bras de la mer : Lecture psychopathologique d’une crise suicidaire par honneur chez un jeune homme lebou

    La tentative de suicide au-delĂ  de l’acte individuel intègre une dimension collective surtout dans les sociĂ©tĂ©s encore attachĂ©es aux  valeurs traditionnelles. Pour mettre en exergue cet aspect, nous rapportons le cas d’une tentative de suicide d’un jeune homme lĂ©bou suite Ă  une histoire d’honneur. Après trois tentatives de suicide en l’espace de 48 heures, Modou est admis en hospitalisation au service de psychiatrie du CHNU de Fann pour un meilleur suivi. Les entretiens menĂ©s ont permis de mettre l’accent une histoire familiale polygame marquĂ©e par des abandons, trahisons et besoins de pardon. La lecture psychopathologique de ce cas clinique, met l’accent sur la place du passage Ă  l’acte comme un substitut Ă  la parole et comment s’opère la rĂ©paration trans-gĂ©nĂ©rationnelle. Mots clĂ©s : SĂ©nĂ©gal, culture, famille, suicide, polygamie, psychiatrie   Englsih title: Modou threw himself into the arms of the sea: Psychopathological reading of a suicidal crisis by Honor in a young man Lebou The suicide attempt is an individual act by which a person tries to kill himself. It is singular in that it often incorporates a collective dimension, especially in societies still attached to traditional values. Thus we report the case of a suicide attempt by a young man Lebou following a story of honor. After three suicide attempts within 48 hours, Modou was admitted to the psychiatrics’ ward of the teaching hospital Fann for better follow-up. The interviews led to a focus on a polygamous family history marked by abandonment, betrayal and need of forgiveness. Thus, the psychopathological reading of this clinical case emphasizes the acting out as a substitute of speech and how forgiveness occurs through generations. Also we must pay attention on the clinical particularities of the patient beyond his family history. Keywords: Senegal, culture, family, suicide attempt, polygamy, psychiatry.&nbsp

    Introduction : Ce travail avait pour objectifs d’identifier le comportement des jeunes filles apprenties face Ă  la contraception et leur perception sur planification familiale (PF). MĂ©thodologie : Le cadre de notre Ă©tude a Ă©tĂ© les ateliers d’apprentissages de la commune de KpalimĂ©. Il s’agit d’une Ă©tude  transversale descriptive portant sur les jeunes filles apprenties qui s’était dĂ©roulĂ©e du 20 juin au 25 juillet 2019. RĂ©sultats : Cette Ă©tude a portĂ© sur 100 filles apprenties. L’âge moyen Ă©tait de 21,9 ans ± 3,8 ans ; avec des extrĂŞmes Ă  13 ans et 32 ans. Selon le statut matrimonial on avait des concubins, des cĂ©libataires et des mariĂ©es respectivement Ă  54, 34 et 12%. Sur la dĂ©finition de la planification familiale 56% affirmait ne rien connaitre. Le type de mĂ©thode contraceptive connue par les enquĂŞtĂ©s Ă©tait le prĂ©servatif ; le prĂ©servatif-l’injectable ; le prĂ©servatif- l’injectable- la pilule dans des proportions de 42 ; 24 et 21%. L’approbation de l’utilisation descontraceptives a Ă©tĂ© fait pour Ă©viter les grossesses Ă  62%, pour Ă©viter les infections Ă  3%, pour se protĂ©ger Ă  2% pour espacer les naissances Ă  1% et dans une proportion de 32% il n’y pas eu de rĂ©ponses.
