Peintures murales romaines de Béziers (Hérault), Place de la Madeleine
Authors: Sabrié Maryse , Sabrié Raymond , Olive Christian , Ugolini Daniela
Published: July 2011

Au cours d'une fouille de sauvetage à Béziers, place de la Madeleine, des enduits peints d'époque romaine ont été trouvés dans le comblement d'une fosse-dépotoir. Ils appartiennent à un décor mural de qualité, probablement exécuté dans la période du plein épanouissement du 4e style pompéien (bordures ajourées, candélabre doré orné de panthères).
À propos d'un buste féminin gallo-romain découvert à Agde (Hérault)
Authors: Garcia Dominique
Published: July 2011

This carved block was discovered in the 60's (circa 1960) at Le Peyrou locality, 600 meters East of the ancient town, near the most acknowledged burial place of the city; it has been interpreted up to now as a pre-Roman work. It represents the bust of a woman cut under chest level and at the edge of the shoulders on the side. Though it looks crude and severe, the Agde bust is nevertheless significant : it points to the existence of a local workshop, and would probably show the use of Roman funerary rites - very unlikely in the Narbonnaise — within a sepulchral space previously marked by natives, then Greeks rites. Comparaisons can be drawn with funerary stelae representing a man, a woman or a couple attested during the late Republic time in Campania.
Socrate à Toulouse
Authors: Hermary Antoine
Published: July 2011

This article discusses two marble sculptures from the Saint Raymond museum in Toulouse. The free standing head is of an unknown provenance and is a rare example of a « Type A» portrait of Socrates. The original was probably made a short time after the death of the philosopher. The fragmentary relief is a part of a remarkable collection of sculptures that was discovered during the nineteenth century at Martres-Tolosane (Chiragan) : in this example we see a sitting man in a meditative pose, near a pillar crowned with an original Dionysian head. The figure is probably meant to be Socrates. However, the significance of the scene is problematic.
L'établissement rural de La Pousaraque (Gignac-la-Nerthe, Bouches-du-Rhône). Oléiculture en Basse-Provence
Authors: Gateau Fabienne
Published: July 2011

The rural settlement at La Pousaraque (Gignac-la-Nerthe) has middle-sized oil works (an oil-press house, two tanks, and probably two oil- presses) and other buildings around it which unfortunately are more or less destroyed by ploughing (pars urbana, hypocausts). This settlement existed from the very last end of the first century B. C. until the sixth century A.D. The oil-work was in operation as early as the first century A.D. with a rather low but stable output. Actually, besides a few changes from the end of the third century onwards, oil activity has been carried on during the whole time while it was occupied. La Pousaraque seemed to survive the third century « crisis », illustrating therefore as an archeological example, some fith century texts which mention olive groves and oil press-houses. The study of the fauna shows a large proportion of goats, which lead to believe that there was breeding activity on this settlement. These elements (olive-grove and goat-breeding) underline the original aspect of this settlement in the Marseilles hinterland, and lead to suppose that privileged economic activities existed with this city.
Un établissement agricole gallo-romain : le site des Soires à Saint-Mitre-les-Remparts (Bouches-du-Rhône)
Authors: Trement Frédéric
Published: July 2011

L'établissement gallo-romain des Soires a fait l'objet en 1990 et 1991 d'une fouille programmée destinée à tester le modèle d'occupation du sol élaboré à partir de prospections systématiques conduites depuis 1988 sur la rive occidentale de l'Étang de Berre. La fouille a mis en évidence un bâtiment agricole à cour centrale d'environ 700 m2, occupé du Ier siècle au milieu du LIF et présentant des techniques de construction traditionnelles en « pierre et terre », héritées en partie de l'Age du Fer. L'étude du mobilier, publiée séparément, confirme le poids de l'héritage préromain dans la culture matérielle des occupants jusqu'au début du IIe siècle. L'examen détaillé des vestiges permet de conclure à une petite exploitation viticole implantée, à l'image de nombreuses autres fermes, sur le territoire de l'ancien oppidum de Saint-Biaise, distant de 1,5 km seulement, dans un secteur de plateaux molassiques et d'étangs peu favorable aux grandes exploitations domaniales de type villae. Ces dernières se développent en effet dans les zones basses situées plus au sud, en liaison avec les nouveaux centres de pouvoir privilégiés par l'administration romaine. Enfin, l'étude archéozoologique conduite par Ph. Columeau souligne l'importance de l'élevage des moutons dans ce secteur voisin de la Crau.
Vestiges gallo-romains à Narbonne, 74 boulevard Frédéric-Mistral
Authors: Sabrié Maryse , Sabrié Raymond , Ginouvez Olivier
Published: July 2011

Au cours d'une fouille de sauvetage visant à retrouver les vestiges de l'église médiévale Saint-Félix, on a mis au jour, dans le quartier ouest de la ville antique, des niveaux d'occupation gallo-romains s'échelonnant du Ier s. av. J.-C. au IIIe s. de notre ère. L'influence de l'Italie se traduit d'abord par l'importation de céramiques mais se développe plus lentement dans le domaine de la construction qui fait longtemps appel à des techniques traditionnelles. Au milieu du Ier s. de notre ère, une acculturation plus profonde se traduit par la présence de peintures murales proches des modèles campaniens et par celle de graffitis qui montrent l'emploi du Latin dans les classes populaires.
La récente découverte d'une installation de l'Antiquité tardive sur le site d'Ambrussum (Villetelle, Hérault). 1 - Etude archéologique
Authors: Manniez Yves , Mathieu Véronique , Depeyrot Georges
Published: July 2011

The remnants of the fauna in the 4th century A. D. in the lower part 0/Ambrussum include some bones coming from the Vertebrate and shells coming from marine molluscs. They help understanding how the sediments they are issued from were formed : these sediments are backfills mixing parts of bodies ofEquidaes and of a large cat with food remains either from domestic species , ovine and caprine race, swine, cattle, hen, or from wild species, stag, rabbit, partridge, oysters. The set of oyster shells mainly includes the Lopha stentina species which seems to be identified for the first time in the area and which attests the exploitation of a natural deposit.
Les manifestations du culte impérial à travers la peinture

Published: July 2011

New sculptures (most particularly from recent diggings) found in the Clos de la Lombarde and three discoveries of various origins are presented. A thorough commentary is made. The most interesting items are the "Bacchic-funerary" genius (n°3), the Bacchus as a child (n°16), the Mercury who could be "issued from a Polycleitan Hermes" (n°17) and the crowning of the base decorated with knucklebones (n°18). The whole set features until the 2 and 3 centuries A.D. the constant influence of Hellenic and Hellenistic tradition in Narbonne.
Observations sur les inscriptions d'Aix-en-Provence
Authors: Christol Michel , Gascou Jacques , Janon Michel
Published: July 2011

Réexamen de trois inscriptions d'Aix-en-Provence ou de son territoire : 1. l'inscription ILN — Aix-en- Provence, 209 (CIL, XII, 1130), une épitaphe familiale, a jusqu'à présent été mal interprétée : ses trois premières lignes (dont la première a disparu) ne doivent pas être lues horizontalement, mais selon une disposition en trois colonnes. Il n'y a dès lors plus de raison de corriger la lecture de la partie gauche (aujourd'hui disparue) qu'en a faite autrefois Solier. 2. Les deux inscriptions fragmentaires ILN

- Aix-en-Provence, 216 (CIL, XII, 521) et ibid, 24 (CIL, XII, 516) appartiennent en fait à la même inscription. En réunissant ces deux fragments, on peut désormais proposer une restitution presque complète de ce document. Ce dernier, sans doute une épitaphe, contient les noms de trois membres d'une même famille qui ont tous trois été patrons de la colonie d'Aquae Sextiae ; un jeune sénateur, son père, un chevalier, et un autre chevalier, probablement son oncle paternel.
Les chevaux d'Hadrien
Authors: Gascou Jacques , Janon Michel
Published: July 2011

Dion Cassius et /Histoire Auguste nous informent de la passion que l'empereur Hadrien manifesta pour ses chevaux : c'est ce que confirme un carmen epigraphicum d'Apt, CIL, XII, 1122 = ILN —Apt, 33, épitaphe du cheval de chasse Borysthene, dont l'auteur est indéniablement Hadrien. Or, un autre carmen epigraphicum, italien celui-là, provenant des Aquae Albulae, près de Tibur (CIL, XIV, 391 1), et consacré à un autre cheval de chasse nommé Samis, n'a jamais été attribué à Hadrien par les spécialistes qui se sont penchés sur les œuvres littéraires de cet empereur. Il offre plusieurs points communs avec l'inscription d'Apt, à la fois sur le plan verbal et sur le plan thématique. Cette comparaison invite à penser que le carmen epigraphicum des Aquae Albulae est l'œuvre du même auteur que celui du poème d'Apt, et doit être ajouté aux quelques travaux poétiques d'Hadrien qui sont parvenus jusqu'à nous.

Published: July 2011

À la suite de la découverte à Annecy, en 1999, d'une dédicace à Mars, l'étude se propose défaire le point sur le culte de cette divinité dans la cité de Vienne. Il est procédé à un recensement des inscriptions et des témoignages iconographiques se rapportant à ce dieu. Il permet d'en dresser une carte de répartition, d'attribuer à ces documents une datation, essentiellement aux deux premiers siècles de l'Empire, de constater que Mars est avant tout une divinité bienfaisante, qui guérit et qui protège, loin de l'image martiale qu'en donnent César et les représentations figurées. Enfin, les inscriptions révèlent la forte implication des citoyens romains de la cité de Vienne qui exercent des fonctions municipales importantes ou simples particuliers dotés d'une certaine aisance matérielle. Trois appendices donnent l'essentiel de la documentation sur cette divinité et son culte.

The meeting held in 1999, on May, the 7th at Aix-en-Provence, dealing with materials used to make sculptures (not so often studied till nowadays), presents a set of various papers from Protohistory to Middle Ages (historiography, material analysis technics, study of cases choosen in Gallia Narbonensis,). Different approaches and various experiences have been compared and an inventory of recent studies in the area was drawn up. The papers deal mainly with material from the Museums of Gallia Narbonensis.
Narbonne antique et ses ports, géomorphologie et archéologie, certitudes et hypothèses
Authors: Ambert Paul
Published: July 2011

Ancient Narbo was settled on a rocky headland surrounded by marshes and lagoons, the recent studies do not allow an absolute precision about their proportions. This context widely resulting from paleographie parameters was oblitered by recent alluvions due to the floods of the Aude river. The alluviations obscured the links between the town and the sea. Nevertheless owning to the results of the geotechnical borings and associated archaeological documents and the underwater explorations headed by Anteas, a new vision of the antic topography will be proposed. This sometimes prospective paper summarizes important progresses which modify the vision of the environmental context of Antic Narbo and its outer harbours. Therefore, the continuation of pluridiscip Unary researches will only diminish the many remaining questions.
Sacrifice et inhumation en fosse d'un cheval à l'époque gallo-romaine sur le site de Saint-Pierre 1 à Eyguières (B.-du-Rh.)
Authors: Marcadal Yves , Leguilloux Martine , Pelletier Jean-Pierre , Poguet Michel
Published: July 2011

À proximité d'un fossé délimitant un enclos de la fin de l'Âge du Fer et de diverses constructions du début de la période gallo-romaine, le corps d'un poulain sacrifié au IIe s. de notre ère a été inhumé la tête tournée vers l'est, dans une fosse creusée pour l'occasion. Malgré l'absence de dépôt d'objets, l'explication cultuelle paraît la plus probable. Cette découverte complète les rares exemples de sépultures équines attestées en Gaule Narbonnaise.
L'oppidum de Constantine (Lançon-de-Provence, B.-du-Rh.) : un exemple d'établissement de hauteur réoccupé durant l'Antiquité tardive
Authors: Verdin Florence
Published: July 2011

L'oppidum de Constantine, abandonné vers 20/10 av. J.-C, est réoccupé au Ve siècle. De nouvelles recherches, associées à une reprise de la documentation ancienne, permettent de dresser un bilan des connaissances relatives à l'agglomération tardo- antique. L'ancien oppidum est totalement transformé, la fortification est restaurée, une chapelle est construite et une nécropole rupestre s'étend dans le vallon sud. L'ensemble évoque un établissement du même type que Saint-Blaise, malgré le caractère plus lacunaire des recherches.

Le vicus d'Ernaginum (Saint-Gabriel, Tarascon, Bouches-du-Rhône)
Authors: Allinne Cécile , Verdin Florence
Published: July 2011

L'agglomération secondaire d'Ernaginum est connue par les textes antiques et par des découvertes archéologiques. Associée à un carrefour de voies romaines et à un cours d'eau, la Duransole, elle est occupée depuis le VIe s. av. J.-C. jusqu'à l'Antiquité tardive. La reprise récente des recherches permet de dresser un prmier bilan des connaissances relatives à la forme et aux fonctions de l'agglomération. On s'interrogera en particulier sur la fiabilité de l'image donnée par la cartographie des vestiges, dans un milieu où l'importance des recouvrements sédimentaires est susceptible de rendre plus difficile la lecture de la ville antique.

Conclusion : La villa et le vicus. Formes de l'habitat et exploitation domaniale
Authors: Leveau Philippe , Garmy Pierre
Published: July 2011

The difficulty to differentiate a villa from a vicus is not a regional particularity. It is due to the very nature of rural settlement in Roman times. This statement does not disqualify typologies but gives more importance than before to the process of regroupement and dispersion of settlement and to its dynamics. According to this perspective, we cannot reserve the term vicus to describe sites fox which we have explicit testimony. The epigraphies of Villa and of vicus contribute in an essential way to the characterzation of a site as a villa or a vicus.

On an epitaph from the pagus Lucretius (CIL, XII, 599) adressed by a woman to her husband, her children, her grandson and to herself, the kinship informations do not refer, as it is the usual rule, to the person in charge of the inscription but according to the biological function which every one hold in the family : father, son, grandson, daughter and mother. The family father wife's literal fidelity to the text ellaborated by the father in his will may explain this formula with apparently unknown similar example.

Mais où est donc Luteva? ou géopolitique d'une capitale improbable
Authors: Garmy Pierre , Panouillères Thérèse , Schneider Laurent , Fabre Guilhem
Published: July 2011

Bien attestée par les sources antiques, la ville de Luteva est pourtant mal documentée par l'archéologie. L'apport de récentes observations de terrain donne ici l'occasion de reprendre systématiquement le corpus des données pour étudier l'extension de la zone urbanisée et l'implantation de l'agglomération antique. La place et le rôle de la ville sont alors envisagés dans le territoire de la cité et au sein de la province de Narbonnaise. Répondant à une géopolitique forte du pouvoir colonial dont les fondements demeurent cependant obscurs, la ville connaît, après son élévation au rang de colonie latine, une destinée longue de capitale que vient consacrer, dès la fin de l'Antiquité, l'accueil d'un siège episcopal.

L'agglomération antique de Turedonnum (Revel-Tourdan, Isère)
Authors: Drouvot Nicolas
Published: July 2011

L'implantation antique de Turedonnum (Tourdan), mentionnée par la Table de Peutinger et l'Anonyme de Ravenne, a été rendue célèbre par quelques trouvailles fortuites - vase romain en argent en 1842, trésor de monnaies gauloises en 1890 - mais nous connaissons encore peu de choses de son importance et de son organisation. Le site, qui a été occupé dès le Ier siècle avant J.-C, bénéficia à l'évidence au Haut-Empire de la proximité du Rhône, et de sa position à la croisée de la voie de Vienne à Grenoble et de la Via Agrippa, puisqu'un embranchement en Valloire permettait de relier d'est en ouest les deux itinéraires. Des substructions romaines ont été mises au jour. Une production de poteries communes a été mise en évidence. Un aqueduc souterrain assurait au site une alimentation régulière en eau.
Plaque de couvercle d'un sarcophage antique de Saint-Raphaël (Var)
Authors: Rivet Lucien , Brentchaloff Daniel
Published: July 2011

Two white marble fragments stored in the reserved section of the Muséums of Frejus and Saint-Raphaël (Var, France) are part of the same sarcophagus lid frontal flag. These fragments seem closely related to the tomb of a patrician family which mau- soleum could be located in the basement of the actual church of Saint-Raphaël. The iconography relays on roman family and funerary traditions and represents a couple 's effigy. This sarcophagus relief was probably produced in a local or regional workshop which, if remoted from large fabrication centers, remained opened to new items spreaded between areas. The sculptor, of austere and common skills, performed this work during the second quarter or the middle of IVth century.
Évolution des céramiques de la fin du IIe s. au Ve s. ap. J.-C. dans la Drôme : l'exemple de Bourbousson (Crest) sur le tracé du TGV Méditerranée
Authors: Bonnet Christine
Published: July 2011

Cette étude de la céramique extraite d'un site rural au statut complexe, entre ferme, auberge et station routière, propose d'esquisser une vision d'ensemble de l'approvisionnement en céramiques et de l'évolution typologique des vases entre la fin du IIe s. et le milieu du Ve s. ap. J.-C. dans ce secteur précis de la moyenne vallée du Rhône sur les rives de la rivière Drôme. Le dynamisme des ateliers régionaux et locaux produisant des céramiques communes à base d'argile siliceuse et kaolinitique en particulier, des céramiques fines à revêtement argileux, Claire B et ses dérivés de l'Antiquité tardive, puis de la DS.R, est clairement mis en évidence. Dans le même temps, malgré la diversité probable des structures de production en région, le répertoire montre une filiation explicite avec les mobiliers de l'aire languedocienne en particulier. En revanche, contrairement aux régions plus proches du littoral, le marché de la céramique et des denrées transportées en amphores reste ici peu perméable au grand commerce méditerranéen.
« Si tu veux que je reste ici, il faut que tu t'occupes de nos enfants ! » Migration et maternité transnationale entre Cochabamba (Bolivie) et Bergame (Italie)
Authors: Yépez Isabel , Ledo Carmen , Marzadro Mirko
Published: July 2011

Dans cet article, les auteurs analysent d’une part, les transformations dans les configurations familiales provoquées par la migration internationale de femmes originaires de la ville de Cochabamba vers Bergame pour travailler dans le domaine du care , et d’autre part la manière dont ces migrantes boliviennes vivent leur « maternité transnationale ». En guise d’introduction, l’article présente les traits principaux des nouvelles migrations boliviennes vers l’Europe. Il aborde ensuite les éléments qui conditionnent l’exercice de la maternité transnationale, tant dans le pays d’origine que dans le pays de destination. Ce cadre général permet d’analyser les multiples arrangements familiaux, et le maintien de liens affectifs qui caractérisent l’exercice de la maternité à distance, illustrés par l’histoire migratoire et familiale d’Ana. En guise de conclusion, l’article discute l’hypothèse selon laquelle la majorité des femmes migrantes latino-américaines visent une réunification familiale dans le pays de destination.
Le projet transnational des familles sud-coréennes de la classe moyenne
Authors: Prébin Élise
Published: July 2011

En Corée du Sud, malgré le perpétuel discours pessimiste sur les milliers de familles séparées contre leur gré au cours du XX e siècle, de plus en plus de familles de la classe moyenne et moyenne-supérieure font le choix de se séparer durablement pour mener une existence transnationale, encouragées par la politique du retour mise en place depuis la fin des années 1990, qui valorise l’expérience transnationale et favorise les échanges à une échelle globale. Mais le transnationalisme en tant que valeur et projet pour les familles ne va pas sans poser problème. Face à la surenchère éducative et à des perspectives restreintes sur le marché du travail, nombre de familles aisées envoient leurs enfants en bas âge étudier à l’étranger, selon un nombre restreint d’options supposées viables : l’enfant part seul, accompagné par sa mère, ou est pris en charge par un parent ou une connaissance. Ces séparations prolongées dans le but d’atteindre une mobilité sociale supérieure ont des dénouements souvent imprévus, et parfois, tragiques.
Des individualistes globaux : ruptures et discontinuités dans les familles d'élites africaines transnationales
Authors: Bourgouin France
Published: July 2011

Cet article cherche à démêler les sens attribués par les élites politiques et militaires de l’Afrique à l’investissement éducatif international pour leurs enfants. L’analyse ethnographique est basée sur les récits de vie d’un groupe de professionnels de la finance d’origine africaine occupant des postes de cadres supérieurs au sein de sociétés transnationales à Johannesburg, au moment de la bulle financière de 2004. L’article montre que l’investissement dans une éducation transnationale constitue un mécanisme de reproduction de l’identité d’élite. L’une des conséquences de cette trajectoire identitaire et professionnelle a été un affaiblissement passif des liens familiaux, et une réticence, de la part de ces jeunes professionnels, à fonder une famille dans sa forme classique. L’article conclut en analysant la signification des discontinuités et des dislocations de la vie familiale comme un moyen de réaffirmer une identité, et comme une quête de légitimité parmi l’élite africaine contemporaine.
Les dispositifs d’accompagnement à destination des publics de « bas niveau de qualification » : évaluation et proposition d’actions
Authors: Roques Martine
Published: July 2011

L’évaluation des dispositifs d’accompagnement des demandeurs d’emploi, notamment de ceux les plus désavantagés, peut se faire d’une part selon des critères centrés sur l’individu : comment et sur quelle dimension intervenir pour faire en sorte que l’individu appréhende au mieux la situation, c’est-à-dire notamment trouve et/ou reste dans l’emploi, et d’autre part sur des critères centrés sur le système social, sur l’environnement, c’est-à-dire quel changement au niveau organisationnel et/ou social doivent intervenir pour fournir aux chômeurs des opportunités d’emploi ? Cet article aborde ces deux perspectives et présente des pistes d’action pour la pratique.
Mechanisms Conferring Resistance to Pro-Apoptotic Cancer Gene Therapy
Authors: Dougherty Shona T. , Dougherty Graeme J.
Published: July 2011

Recently, we have described a novel approach to the treatment of cancer that employs a series of vectors that encode surface expressed chimeric proteins in which the cytoplasmic death domain of Fas is fused in-frame to the extracellular domain of one of a number of cell surface receptors that recognize and bind various ligands that are differentially expressed within the tumor microenvironment. Although the majority of tumor cells transduced with such vectors are killed in the presence of the corresponding cognate ligand, a small percentage survive and in vivo may go on to repopulate a treated tumor. In order to understand the mechanisms employed by tumors to escape the cytotoxic effects of pro-apoptotic signals triggered via Fas, we isolated a large number of 293 tumor cell clones that survive following transfection with a plasmid vector encoding Flk-1/Fas, a chimeric receptor that induces tumor cell death in the presence of the pro-angiogenic cytokine VEGF. Characterization of Flk-1/Fas-positive clones revealed that while survival can most often be attributed simply to the down-regulation of VEGF ligand expression, in cells that express both receptor and ligand, other proteins involved in the regulation of apoptosis may be targeted. Specifically, a Flk-1/Fas-positive, VEGF-positive clone was identified in which expression of APAF-1 was almost completely abrogated.

Mass concentrations of sulphate, nitrate, ammonium, organic carbon (OC), elemental carbon (EC) were determined from real time single particle data in the size range 0.1–3.0 μm measured by an Aerosol Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer (ATOFMS) at urban and rural sites in Canada. To quantify chemical species within individual particles measured by an ATOFMS, ion peak intensity of m/z −97 for sulphate, −62 for nitrate, +18 for ammonium, +43 for OC, and +36 for EC were scaled using the number and size distribution data by an Aerodynamic Particle Sizer (APS) and a Fast Mobility Particle Sizer (FMPS). Hourly quantified chemical species from ATOFMS single-particle analysis were compared with collocated fine particulate matter (aerodynamic diameter < 2.5 μm, PM2.5) chemical composition measurements by an Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (AMS) at a rural site, a Gas-Particle Ion Chromatograph (GPIC) at an urban site, and a Sunset Lab field OCEC analyzer at both sites. The highest correlation was found for nitrate, with correlation coefficients (Pearson r) of 0.89 (ATOFMS vs. GPIC) and 0.85 (ATOFMS vs. AMS). ATOFMS mass calibration factors, determined for the urban site, were used to calculate mass concentrations of the major PM2.5 chemical components at the rural site near the US border in southern Ontario. Mass reconstruction using the ATOFMS mass calibration factors agreed very well with the PM2.5 mass concentrations measured by a Tapered Element Oscillating Microbalance (TEOM, r = 0.86) at the urban site and a light scattering monitor (DustTrak, r = 0.87) at the rural site. In the urban area nitrate was the largest contributor to PM2.5 mass in the winter, while organics and sulphate contributed ~64 % of the summer PM2.5 in the rural area, suggesting a strong influence of regional/trans-boundary pollution. The mass concentrations of five major species in ten size-resolved particle-types and aerosol acidity of each particle-type were determined for the rural site. On a mass basis sulphate and OC rich particle-types (OC-S and OC-S-N) accounted for up to 59 % of the particles characterized and aerosols were weakly acidic in the rural area. This is the first study to estimate hourly quantitative data of sulphate, nitrate, ammonium, OC and EC in ambient particles from scaled ATOFMS single particle analysis; these were closely comparable with collocated high time resolution data of sulphate, nitrate and ammonium detected by AMS and GPIC.

Purpose

To assess the outcome of collagen crosslinking (CXL) in keratoconus eyes after implantation of Kera intracorneal ring segments.

Patients and Methods

Twenty-one eyes of 13 patients with mild to moderate degree of keratoconus were included in this study. All eyes had uneventful surgery for Kera intracorneal ring segment implantation followed by collagen CXL treatment after at least 3 months of the implantation. Inclusion criteria were absence of corneal scarring and corneal thickness higher than 400 mm. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), spherical equivalent and cylinder refraction, and the mean keratometric (K) values were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively.

Results

The mean age was 21.36±4.46 years (range 16-28). Mean time between implantation of Kera ring and CXL was 4.56±3.2 months. The mean baseline UCVA and BCVA were 0.05±0.02 and 0.18±0.1, respectively; after Kera ring, the mean UCVA and BCVA were 0.23±0.17 and 0.39±0.18 (p=0.000), respectively. Collagen CXL after Kera ring resulted in an additional change in UCVA and BCVA to become 0.23±0.17 (p=0.951) and 0.41±0.18 (p=0.08), respectively. Also, CXL results in an additional change in spherical equivalent, cylindrical, and mean keratometric values. The decrease in spherical equivalent, cylindrical, and mean keratometric value was 2.8 D (p<0.05), 2.1 D (p<0.05), and 2.5 D (p<0.05), respectively, after Kera ring treatment. An additional decrease of 0.11 D (p>0.05), 0.01 D (p>0.05), and 0.09 D (p>0.05) was obtained after CXL in each respective parameter.

Conclusions

Collagen CXL has an additive effect after Kera ring implantation and may be considered as an enhancement/stabilizing procedure.

Published: July 2011

Purpose

Panphotocoagulation reduces the risk of vision loss in proliferative diabetic retinopathy. However, not many patients tolerate this treatment well due to pain. Therefore, we evaluated the analgesic effect of etoricoxib during photocoagulation in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

Methods

A prospective, randomized, double-blind study was conducted on 44 consecutive patients eligible for panphotocoagulation due to proliferative diabetic retinopathy. During the first panphotocoagulation session, both groups were treated without medication. During the following session, the control group received a placebo pill while the other group received etoricoxib 120 mg. Both groups took the medicines 1 hour before the treatment. After each session, the patients quantified the level of pain on a subjective visual scale.

Results

A total of 52 patients were selected for the study and the data of 44 patients were analyzed. In the control group, the average level of pain in the first session was 7.68 (standard deviation 1.70), dropping to an average of 7.32 (standard deviation 1.39) after ingestion of placebo. Therefore, there was no statistical difference (p=0.1187). In contrast, the average level of pain without the drug in the group taking etoricoxib 120 mg was 7.95 (standard deviation 1.46) vs 5.18 (standard deviation 1.65) with the drug, a significant statistical difference (p<0.001).

Conclusions

Etoricoxib 120 mg reduces pain and can be used before panphotocoagulation. Data show that the medication is more effective against pain during photocoagulation than placebo.

Published: July 2011

Repaglinide has the half life of 1 hour, and bioavailability in the body is 56% due to first-pass metabolism. The total daily dose of Repaglinide is 16 mg (e.g., 4 mg four times daily depending on meal patterns); hence, it required frequent dosing. Transdermal patch of Repaglinide was prepared to sustain the release and improve bioavailability of drug and patient compliance. Different formulations were prepared by varying the grades of HPMC and concentration of PVP K30 by solvent casting method. The prepared formulations were evaluated for various parameters like thickness, tensile strength, folding endurance, % elongation, % moisture content, % moisture uptake, % drug content, in vitro drug release, in vitro permeation, and drug excipient compatibility. A 32 full factorial design was applied to check the effect of varying the grades of HPMC (X1) and PVP concentration (X2) on the responses, that is, tensile strength, percentage drug released in 1 hr (Q1), 9 hr (Q9), and diffusion coefficient as a dependent variables. In vitro release data were fitted to various models to ascertain kinetic of drug release. Regression analysis and analysis of variance were performed for dependent variables. The results of the F2 statistics between factorial design batches and theoretical profile were used to select optimized batch. Batch F6 was considered optimum batch which contained HPMC K100 and PVP (1.5%), showed release 92.343% up to 12 hr, and was more similar to the theoretical predicted dissolution profile (f2=69.187).

Importance

Obesity has become a global public health concern and China has the largest number of affected people worldwide.

Objective

To assess the efficacy and safety of treatment with tirzepatide for weight reduction in Chinese adults with obesity or overweight and weight-related comorbidities.

Design, Setting, and Participants

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 clinical trial conducted at 29 centers in China from September 2021 to December 2022 included Chinese adults (aged ≥18 years) with a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 28 or greater than or equal to 24 and at least 1 weight-related comorbidity, excluding diabetes.

Interventions

Participants were randomly assigned (1:1:1) to receive once-weekly, subcutaneous 10-mg (n = 70) or 15-mg (n = 71) tirzepatide or placebo (n = 69), plus a lifestyle intervention, for 52 weeks.

Main Outcomes and Measures

Co–primary end points were the percent change in body weight from baseline and weight reduction of at least 5% at week 52. Efficacy and safety analyses were performed on an intention-to-treat population.

Results

Of 210 randomized participants (103 [49.0%] female; mean [SD] age, 36.1 [9.1] years; body weight, 91.8 [16.0] kg; BMI, 32.3 [3.8]), 201 (95.7%) completed the trial. The mean change in body weight at week 52 was −13.6% (95% CI, −15.8% to −11.4%) with tirzepatide 10 mg, −17.5% (95% CI, −19.7% to −15.3%) with tirzepatide 15 mg, and −2.3% with placebo (difference between 10 mg and placebo, −11.3% [95% CI, −14.3% to −8.3%; P < .001]; difference between 15 mg and placebo, −15.1% [95% CI, −18.2% to −12.1%; P < .001]). The percentage of participants achieving body weight reductions of 5% or greater was 87.7% with tirzepatide 10 mg, 85.8% with tirzepatide 15 mg, and 29.3% with placebo (P < .001 for comparisons with placebo). The most frequent treatment-emergent adverse events with tirzepatide were gastrointestinal. Most were mild to moderate in severity, with few events leading to treatment discontinuation (<5%).

Conclusions and Relevance

In Chinese adults with obesity or overweight, once-weekly treatment with tirzepatide 10 mg or 15 mg resulted in statistically significant and clinically meaningful weight reduction with an acceptable safety profile.

Published: May 2024

The dual‐focus vision observed in eagles' eyes is an intriguing phenomenon captivates scientists since a long time. Inspired by this natural occurrence, the authors’ research introduces a novel bifocal meta‐device incorporating a polarized camera capable of simultaneously capturing images for two different polarizations with slightly different focal distances. This innovative approach facilitates the concurrent acquisition of underfocused and overfocused images in a single snapshot, enabling the effective extraction of quantitative phase information from the object using the transport of intensity equation. Experimental demonstrations showcase the application of quantitative phase imaging to artificial objects and human embryonic kidney cells, particularly emphasizing the meta‐device's relevance in dynamic scenarios such as laser‐induced ablation in human embryonic kidney cells. Moreover, it provides a solution for the quantification during the dynamic process at the cellular level. Notably, the proposed eagle‐eye inspired meta‐device for phase imaging (EIMPI), due to its simplicity and compact nature, holds promise for significant applications in fields such as endoscopy and headsets, where a lightweight and compact setup is essential.

The 5d→4f transition of Ce3+ is allowed by the electric dipole and the parity selection rule and the position/intensity of the 5d excited state is strongly dependent on the materials’ composition and atomic structure. Herein, the composition‐dependent luminescence properties of Ce3+ in CsPbCl3‐xBrx (0 ≤ x ≤ 3) perovskite nanocrystals (PeNCs) are systematically revealed. It's observed that the 5d‐4f broadband emission of Ce3+ is greatly improved by optimizing the Cl:Br ratio due to the efficient energy transfer from excitons to Ce3+. Folic acid, a vitamin which is an extremely important cofactor, is introduced to regulate the film formation by interacting with uncoordinated ions. The modified CsPbCl1.5Br1.5 PeNCs with photoluminescence quantum yield of 91% represent a novel and extremely efficient white nanophosphor. Then, white light‐emitting diodes (WLEDs) are constructed by combining Ce3+‐doped PeNCs with 400‐nm ultraviolet chips with a luminous efficiency of 120.3 lm W−1, which is the most efficient perovskite single‐component WLED. Moreover, the blue‐violet LEDs are fabricated with external quantum efficiency of 0.84%, representing extremely high level of 400–435 nm perovskite LEDs. This work demonstrates the strategy in realizing high‐efficiency wavelength‐tunable PeNCs, motivating the further exploration of Ce3+‐doped perovskites in optoelectronic devices.

Achieving the combination of multiple external stimuli responses and mechanical flexibility has become the current emerging research in the field of crystalline materials. Meanwhile, the modulation of its properties remains challenging. In this work, a 1‐[(E)‐[(6‐methyl‐1,3‐benzothiazol‐2‐yl) imino] methyl] naphthalen‐2‐ol (BNO) crystalline material is reported. The modulation of the mechanical elasticity and thermomechanical responses is achieved by means of polymorphism (form‐I and form‐II). Further, the structural basis of the 2D mechanical properties of form‐I is investigated. Meanwhile, two types of thermomechanical responses appearing in form‐I are explored in detail from the perspective of crystal structure and thermodynamics, and the second thermomechanical response during cooling is successfully predicted. Then, the acid response of the materials is endowed by molecular design, the fluorescence switch is realized through acid and thermal treatments. Finally, the active/passive dual‐mode optical waveguides of the materials are explored.
