Deglaciation history at the Alpine-Mediterranean transition (Argentera-Mercantour, SW Alps) from 10Be dating of moraines and glacially polished bedrock

International audienceEstimating the extent and age of the last glacial maxima as well as the chronology of glacial recessions in various environmental contexts is key to source-to-sink studies and paleoclimate reconstructions. The Argentera-Mercantour massif being located at the transition between the Alps and the Mediterranean Sea, its deglaciation chronology can be compared to the sediment budget of the Var River marine delta. In this paper, the deglaciation is constrained by 13 new and 22 reassessed Cosmic-Ray Exposure (CRE) 10Be datings of moraines and polished crystalline bedrocks. These data allow for the first time to fully reconstruct the deglaciation history at the scale of the entire massif, in agreement with a major glacier recession at ca. 15 ka, at the onset of Bølling transition. This contribution reveals a glacier–climate relationship more sensitive to warming phases in the southern Alps highlighted by a major decrease of glaciers after ca. 15 ka. This major deglaciation is correlated with a 2.5 fold decrease of sediment discharge of rivers into the Mediterranean Sea. Main deglaciation of the massif upper slopes (2,700-2,800 m a.s.l.) occurred after the LGM at 20.8-18.6 ka, followed by the lower slopes (2,300 m a.s.l.) at 15.3-14.2 ka. Finally, the flat polished surfaces above 2,600 m a.s.l. and the zones confined within narrow lateral valleys were likely affected by progressive ice melting of remaining debris covered glaciers and moraine erosion following the Younger Dryas re-advance stage between 12 and 8-9 ka. At lower elevations, a sediment core in the Vens Lake located at 2,300 m a.s.l., shows onset of lake sedimentation at ca. 14 ka and a transition towards a vegetated environment after 8 ka. Final stabilization of moraines occurred at 5 ka, which might reflect denudation acceleration during the Holocene humid phase

Cultivo de células amnióticas durante diferentes idades gestacionais para análise do cariótipo em bovinos

Bovine karyotyping has become an important diagnostic tool in animal breeding. In the prenatal period it can diagnose several chromosomal abnormalities such as Robertsonian translocations, testicle feminization syndrome, gonadal dysgenesis and Klinefelters syndrome. An important cell source for karyotype analysis is the amniotic fluid. It has been extensively used in humans but in bovine, however, this is not the case despite its diagnostic value. Since a small percentage of cells is viable, cells and their growth conditions as well as the handling of the material should be optimal to insure a successful analysis. For this, we have compared the growth efficiency for bovine amniocytes in two media, employing cells from 10 to 14 weeks of gestation. Amniocytes were cultured in the Amniomax (Gibco-BRL/ Life Technologies, Rockville, MD USA) medium during eleven days and in the RPMI 1640 (Gibco-BRL) medium during sixteen days at 37ºC and 5% CO2, then fixed and GTG banded. All the cultures with RPMI showed a poor cell growth, regardless the gestational age. Out of the samples cultured in Amniomax one presented 100% of cellular confluence at day 11 (10 weeks of gestation) and the others resulted in an increased proliferation compared with those that were cultured in RPMI. To ensure a successful karyotyping, amniotic fluid from cows with gestational ages of 10-12 weeks should be used and care should be taken for critical steps in preparation of spread metaphases - hypotonic and trypsin treatments.A cariotipagem em bovinos é uma importante ferramenta diagnóstica. Pode ser utilizada no período prenatal para diagnóstico de várias anormalidades cromossômicas, tais como translocações Robertsonianas, síndrome da feminilização testicular, disgenesia gonadal e síndrome de Klinefelter. O fluido amniótico é uma importante fonte de células para cariotipagem e tem sido extensivamente utilizado para humanos mas não para bovinos, apesar de seu valor diagnóstico. Uma vez que pequena porcentagem dessas células é viável, suas condições de crescimento, assim como o processamento do material, devem ser otimizadas para se assegurar uma análise bem sucedida. Para tanto, comparamos a eficiência de crescimento de amniócitos bovinos em dois meios de cultura, usando células de 10 a 14 semanas de gestação. Os amniócitos foram cultivados no meio Amniomax (Gibco-BRL/ Life Technologies, Rockville, MD USA) durante onze dias e no meio RPMI (Gibco-BRL) durante dezesseis dias a 37ºC e 5% CO2, fixados e corados de acordo com a técnica GTG de bandeamento. Todas as culturas no meio RPMI apresentaram baixo crescimento celular, independente da idade gestacional. Das amostras cultivadas em Amniomax, uma apresentou 100% de confluência celular no 11ºdia de cultivo (10 semanas de gestação) e as outras apresentaram proliferação maior em relação àquelas cultivadas em RPMI. O líquido amniótico proveniente de gestações entre 10 e 12 semanas deve ser utilizado para se assegurar uma boa qualidade de material para cariotipagem. Além disso, deve-se atentar para os passos durante o processamento para melhor visualização das metáfases - choque hipotônico e tempo de tripsina

Full-Profile Pharmacokinetic Study of High Dose Baclofen in Subjects With Alcohol Use Disorder

Baclofen a gamma amino-butyric acid type B (GABA-B) receptor agonist, which has raised some interest for the treatment of alcohol use disorder (AUD), occasionally at dose up to 300 mg/d. We conducted the first full-profile pharmacokinetic study on baclofen in AUD subjects, up to the oral daily dose of 300 mg. Sixty subjects treated for AUD with marketed baclofen were enrolled in a prospective phase-1 study. Participants were divided into four dose groups (1: <60 mg/d; 2: 60–120 mg/d; 3: >120 mg/d-180 mg/d; and 4: >180 mg/d), and they underwent a full-profile pharmacokinetic analysis of baclofen, using a nonlinear mixed effects modeling. The influence of different clinical and biological covariates was assessed in an upward modeling. Fifty-seven participants completed the study (522 observed concentrations collected). Racemic baclofen showed a linear pharmacokinetic profile, corresponding to a one-compartment model, with no influencing clinical or biological factor. The pharmacokinetic parameters of baclofen were (bootstrap 95% confidence intervals): absorption constant (Ka) 1.64 1/h (1.34–2), clearance (Cl/F) 11.6 L/h (10.8–12.3) and volume of distribution (Vd/F) 72.8 L (66.5–80.4) leading to a half-life of 4.4 h. The interindividual variability (IIV) was 44% (19–65), 21% (16–27), and 22% (11–36) for Ka, Cl/F, and Vd/F, respectively. The residual variability was 24% (21–26). No serious adverse event was reported.Registration: EudraCT #2013-003412-4

A Cintilação de Espinosa

Estas páginas sobre Espinosa, que fazem parte de um capítulo de Confissões inéditas, intituladas: A Viagem Interior, nunca foram publicadas senão em uma longínqua revista da Ásia, em língua bengali: Prabasi (1926), pelo meu amigo, o professor Kalidas Nag. E, a respeito disso, quero contar um fato emocionante, que mostra, uma vez mais, o parentesco dos espíritos do Oriente e do Ocidente. Algumas semanas após a publicação, Kalidas Nag recebeu, de uma prisão da Índia, uma carta censurada de um jovem bengali, preso político. O prisioneiro, que havia lido o relato extasiante do adolescente francês, vendo filtrar através das grades de sua jaula o sol branco do Ser, havia se reconhecido no jovem irmão da Europa. E, de sua prisão desconhecida da Ásia, estendia a ele suas mãos, arrebatado. (Romain Rolland)

Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha-mediated RelB/APOBEC3B down-regulation allows hepatitis B virus persistence

Background and Aims: Therapeutic strategies against HBV focus, among others, on the activation of the immune system to enable the infected host to eliminate HBV. Hypoxia‐inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF1α) stabilization has been associated with impaired immune responses. HBV pathogenesis triggers chronic hepatitis‐related scaring, leading inter alia to modulation of liver oxygenation and transient immune activation, both factors playing a role in HIF1α stabilization. Approach and Results: We addressed whether HIF1α interferes with immune‐mediated induction of the cytidine deaminase, apolipoprotein B mRNA editing enzyme catalytic subunit 3B (APOBEC3B; A3B), and subsequent covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) decay. Liver biopsies of chronic HBV (CHB) patients were analyzed by immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization. The effect of HIF1α induction/stabilization on differentiated HepaRG or mice ± HBV ± LTβR‐agonist (BS1) was assessed in vitro and in vivo. Induction of A3B and subsequent effects were analyzed by RT‐qPCR, immunoblotting, chromatin immunoprecipitation, immunocytochemistry, and mass spectrometry. Analyzing CHB highlighted that areas with high HIF1α levels and low A3B expression correlated with high HBcAg, potentially representing a reservoir for HBV survival in immune‐active patients. In vitro, HIF1α stabilization strongly impaired A3B expression and anti‐HBV effect. Interestingly, HIF1α knockdown was sufficient to rescue the inhibition of A3B up‐regulation and ‐mediated antiviral effects, whereas HIF2α knockdown had no effect. HIF1α stabilization decreased the level of v‐rel reticuloendotheliosis viral oncogene homolog B protein, but not its mRNA, which was confirmed in vivo. Noteworthy, this function of HIF1α was independent of its partner, aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator. Conclusions: In conclusion, inhibiting HIF1α expression or stabilization represents an anti‐HBV strategy in the context of immune‐mediated A3B induction. High HIF1α, mediated by hypoxia or inflammation, offers a reservoir for HBV survival in vivo and should be considered as a restricting factor in the development of immune therapies

L’Indice de Biodiversité Potentielle (IBP) dans les SLDF. Synthèse de 12 projets

Les 7 et 8 avril 2015 à Paris, le ministère de l'Ecologie a organisé, avec l'appui de la Fédération nationale des Communes forestières et en lien avec la Fédération des Parcs naturels régionaux, le séminaire de clôture de l'appel à projet sur « la prise en compte de la biodiversité dans les Stratégies locales de développement forestier (SLDF) ». Les SLDF désignent des outils de développement tels que les Chartes forestières de territoires (CFT) et les Plans de Développement de Massif (PDM). Animatrice du réseau des CFT, la Fédération nationale des Communes forestières a suivi l'appel à projet depuis son lancement en 2012, dans le cadre de la Stratégie nationale de la Biodiversité (SNB). En présence des ministères en charge de la biodiversité (MEDDE) et de la forêt (MAAF), ce séminaire a d'abord présenté un panorama des projets réalisés. Les objectifs: évaluer les résultats, les facteurs de réussites et les difficultés rencontrées, valoriser les expériences menées et en tirer des enseignements pour une diffusion des méthodes et des pratiques pour d'autres territoires. Ont ainsi témoigné des porteurs de démarches territoriales forêt-bois, des élus et des acteurs de l'environnement et de la recherche. La qualité des projets en termes de partenariat, de sensibilisation sur le terrain et de dialogue entre les différents acteurs a été unanimement soulignée. Les collectivités locales ont été identifiées comme cheffes de file de ces initiatives pionnières. L'accent a été mis la première journée sur les moyens de connaissance de la biodiversité et sa prise en compte dans la gestion forestière : production de données, d'informations et appropriation par les acteurs concernés. Mais aussi la diffusion de cette connaissance, notamment auprès des professionnels de la filière comme les Entrepreneurs de Travaux forestiers (ETF) et sa concrétisation dans les documents de gestion forestière: plans simples de gestion, documents d'aménagement. Pour poursuivre ces démarches, un lien plus fort doit être créé entre les territoires forestiers et la recherche qui dispose de méthodes et de connaissances approfondies, notamment sur les questions climatiques. Les retours d'expériences ont confirmé la nécessité d'intégrer la biodiversité dans des démarches plus transversales. Elle ne doit pas être "sacralisée" en forêt mais "socialisée", ont rappelé plusieurs intervenants. De plus, ces démarches doivent être incitatives plutôt que prescriptives et règlementaires. Il faut "donner envie" et même proposer des outils "ludiques", adaptés à un public large de propriétaires. Les projets ont aussi montré que la biodiversité apporte une vraie plus-value économique sur les territoires: résilience des forêts, respect des sols et qualité de l'eau, meilleure adaptation aux changements climatiques. Un bon exemple : les Projets Sylvicoles Territoriaux (PST) de la région Rhône-Alpes vise, au-delà de la production de bois d'œuvre, à optimiser les services écosystémiques rendus par la forêt et à décloisonner les approches : prise en compte dans les actions sylvicoles du carbone, de l'eau, de la biodiversité, des paysages ou encore des besoins économiques de la filière locale. La dernière journée était consacrée à la présentation des outils et des financements européens ainsi que les politiques publiques menées en France en faveur de la biodiversité. Les participants ont souligné que les actions pionnières menées sur le terrain nécessitent une animation importante et demande des moyens. Dans ce domaine, les Régions apparaissent comme les pilotes des futures politiques publiques de la biodiversité en cohérence attendue avec la politique nationale. Michaël Weber, vice-président de la Fédération des Parcs Naturels Régionaux et président de l'association des Communes forestières de Moselle, a ajouté que "les communes forestières, en tant que propriétaires de forêts et acteur indispensable des territoires, étaient au carrefour de ces préoccupations et force de concertation"
