L’ostéogenèse imparfaite: à propos d’un cas

L'ostéogenèse imparfaite est une maladie héréditaire caractérisée par une fragilité osseuse secondaire à un défaut de synthèse du collagène de type I. Le diagnostic est suspecté devant des signes échographiques évocateurs et confirmé par une étude génétique. Nous rapportons un cas d'ostéogenèse imparfaite de découverte tardive au troisième trimestre chez une patiente qui n'a pas suivi sa grossesse

Valorization of Moroccan olive stones by using it in particleboard panels

The main objective of this work was to find new applications to valorize olive stones (endocarp and seed). In order to improve knowledge on olive stones, the phenolic compounds concentration of three varieties of Moroccan olive trees: Moroccan Picholine, Menara and Haouzian were studied. Olive stones of three varieties were characterized by Fourier Transform Mid Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-MIR). Total phenolic compounds are quantified after solid-liquid extraction by an assay of Folin-Ciocalteu. Moroccan Picholine stones (11.32 mg GAE/g DM) have a higher content of total phenolic compounds than Haouzia stones (4.55 mg GAE/g DM) and Menara stones (3.56 mg GAE/g DM). Thermogravimetric analysis indicates that up to 195 degrees C; there is no degradation of the stones. The biocide performance on agar-agar was tested with decay fungi. Biodegradation studies show that the most interesting results are obtained with Moroccan Picholine stones. The presence of Moroccan Picholine in a particleboard panels improves the total resistance of the particleboard panels against both Coriolus versicolor and Coniophora puteana rot fungi

Szczepienie funkcyjnych grup aminowych na poli(chlorku winylu) – ocena przydatności otrzymanych polimerów w adsorpcji jonów metali

Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) has been subjected to numerous chemical modifications which were undertaken in order to improve its properties, the use of PVC in new applications and understanding of PVC-related phenomena. This work describes the chemical modification of PVC by amino groups (benzylamine and diethylenetriamine) through nucleophilic substitution reactions of its chlorine atoms to obtain P1 polymer. The modified polymer was subsequently reticulated with dichlorodiethyl ether to obtain P2 polymer. The obtained polymers were characterized using infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), elemental analysis (CHN), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The modified polymers (P1 and P2) were tested for metal ion extraction (cadmium, cobalt, lead, or chromium) using the solid-phase extraction (SPE) method and the inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) technique. Quantitative adsorption measurements were performed using solutions containing 2 • 10-4M of heavy metal ions with pH = 3.5–4.5 at a flow rate of 0.6 dm3/min. The new extractants based on modified PVC (P1 and P2) were able to remove the negative effects of heavy metals contained in aqueous solutions. For Pb2+, the extraction percentage was 98 % using P1 and 90.3 % using P2.Przeprowadzono chemiczną modyfikację poli(chlorku winylu) (PVC) w reakcji nukleofilowego podstawienia atomów chloru grupami aminowymi (benzyloamina i dietylenotriamina). Otrzymany polimer P1 szczepiono następnie eterem dichlorodietylowym – uzyskano polimer P2. Wytworzone polimery scharakteryzowano za pomocą spektroskopii w podczerwieni (FT-IR), analizy elementarnej (CHN), różnicowej kalorymetrii skaningowej (DSC), analizy termograwimetrycznej (TGA), różnicowej analizy termicznej (DTA) i dyfrakcji rentgenowskiej (XRD). Polimery P1 i P2 testowano w procesie ekstrakcji jonów metali (kadmu, kobaltu, ołowiu lub chromu), stosując ekstrakcję w fazie stałej (SPE) imetodę atomowej spektrometrii emisyjnej z plazmą wzbudzaną indukcyjnie (ICP-AES). Pomiary ilościowe adsorpcji prowadzono w roztworach wodnych zawierających 2 • 10-4M jonów metali ciężkich, opH=3,5–4,5 i przy szybkości przepływu 0,6 dm3/min. Nowe ekstrahenty na bazie zmodyfikowanego PVC (P1, P2) adsorbowały metale ciężkie zawarte w roztworach wodnych – w wypadku jonów Pb2+ ekstrakcja za pomocą P1 wyniosła 98 %, a za pomocą P2 – 90,3 %

An unusual case of a maxillary sinonasal neuroendocrine carcinoma

It’s a 24 years old female patient who presented with rhinological burning pain evolving since 1 year. She didn’t consult until a blistering lesion filled half of the oral cavity. The initial biopsy of the tumor was interpreted as a round cell tumor process
