A combination of NMR and liquid chromatography to characterize the protective effects of Rhus tripartita extracts on ethanol-induced toxicity and inflammation on intestinal cells

Consumption of ethanol may have severe effects on human organs and tissues and lead to acute and chronic inflammation of internal organs. The present study aims at investigating the potential protective effects of three different extracts prepared from the leaves, root, and stem of the sumac, Rhus tripartita, against ethanol-induced toxicity and inflammation using intestinal cells as a cell culture system, in vitro model of the intestinal mucosa. The results showed an induction of cytotoxicity by ethanol, which was partially reversed by co-administration of the plant extracts. As part of investigating the cellular response and the mechanism of toxicity, the role of reduced thiols and glutathione-S-transferases were assessed. In addition, intestinal cells were artificially imposed to an inflammation state and the anti-inflammatory effect of the extracts was estimated by determination of interleukin-8. Finally, a detailed characterization of the contents of the three plant extracts by high resolution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and mass spectrometry revealed significant differences in their chemical compositions

Gynecologic laparoscopic surgery with a palm-controlled laparoscope holder.

During laparoscopic surgery, the operator relies on the skills of an assistant, particularly during laparoscope manipulation. If possible, the surgeon would prefer to hold the scope while at the same time operating with both hands similar to open surgery conditions. A palm electronic interface (Lapman) was developed to allow remote control of a laparoscope manipulator and to make laparoscope displacement and instrument manipulation synchronous for the surgeon. It was tested in gynecologic surgery, where it restored vision and instrument manipulation and allowed laparoscopic surgery to be performed with fewer personnel

Using a laparoscope manipulator (LAPMAN) in laparoscopic gynecological surgery

The LAPMAN(R) (Medsys, Gembloux, BELGIUM) is a dynamic laparoscope holder guided by a joystick clipped onto the laparoscopic instruments under the index finger of the operator. It confers optimal control of the visual field while operating, ensures stable and smooth displacement of the laparoscope, and allows the operator to work in conditions of restricted surgical assistance, due to either unavailability of staff or economic constraints. It has been tested successfully in pilot studies in laparoscopic gynecologic surgery

Dossier : Image et narration

Les multiples avatars à travers lesquels les expressions imagées se manifestent dans la culture d’aujourd’hui et le développement, par ailleurs, des études de récit soutenues par des appareils critiques très diversifiés, rendaient tentante la perspective d’esquisser un panorama de l’interaction de deux pôles : la communication par le récit et la communication par l’image. C’est sur cet horizon que souhaite s’inscrire le présent numéro de Recherches en communication à travers l’ouverture de ses diverses contributions
