La mobilité des élites scientifiques de l'Autre Europe : exode ou circulation ?
Authors: Morokvasic Mirjana

Movement of scientific élites from the Other Europe : exodus or circulation ?

The aim of this text is to explain the dynamics of migration in which scientists from Central and Eastern Europe figure, sometimes prominently, as social actors and to suggest a typology of situations, given both the global and the specific transformations in that part of Europe since the fall of the Berlin Wall. The geographic field of our investigation was delineated by theoretical considerations about international migration in general, and the migration of "brains" in particular : the analysis centred on Poland, Russia, Croatia and Serbia and was based on the empirical evidence and secondary analyses available to us. Our research revealed certain overall tendencies : firstly, science seems to be everywhere in a paradoxical situation. Challenged by high expectations as an important factor of transformation, it is at the same time jeopardized in that same function by its own transformation ; whatever the country, the situation in which science finds itself, the status and working conditions of the scientists are the driving forces behind emigration (less massive than it is believed to be, internal migration being more frequent than emigration abroad). Secondly, as far as migration is concerned, the situation is different from that observed during the cold war period : the possibility to leave and to return, i.e. the chance to circulate, replaces a situation where, in most Central and Eastern European countries, emigration abroad implied expatriation for good. These global tendencies can, however, have a different meaning in each country. Our theoretical framework draws on the opposition between a dynamic approach to international migration versus the push-pull approach, and the "nationalist-internationalist" dilemma as far as brain drain and mobility are concerned. We have pinpointed two situations as "ideal types" : the first directly reflects the changes in Central and Eastern Europe, and is represented by Poland and Russia, where a relative freedom of movement is gradually replacing departures which used to be rare and permanent ; the second is one of confinement and restricted mobility, in other words a break between the worlds of departure and arrival, represented in this study by the former Yugoslav republics of Croatia and Serbia. Unlike the first situation, it takes the place of an earlier period of openness and relative freedom of circulation enjoyed by the citizens of former Yugoslavia. Our assumption was that, in the first case, the departure and the mobility of scientists contribute to the multiplication of links between Poland, Russia and the rest of Europe, whereas in the second, the departure of top scientists deprives the countries in question of an élite necessary for the rebuilding of the country and its democratization.
Le discours sur le « nettoyage ethnique » : comment diaboliser une nation
Authors: Michels Patrick
Published: December 2010

Les définitions du « nettoyage ethnique » qui ont été données traduisent un problème méthodologique, quand ce n'est pas une volonté militante. Ce problème méthodologique est peut-être lié à l'information, dont le système est loin d'être parfait. Le fait que l'expression ait ensuite servi à décrire des situations en dehors de l'espace yougoslave et non contemporaines témoigne que la Yougoslavie n'est qu'un exemple dans une suite récurrente d'homogénéisation nationale.
Les élites du Parti communiste vietnamien face à la doi moi
Authors: Lechervy Christian
Published: December 2010

Depuis dix ans, la politique de réforme initiée par le VIe Congrès du Parti communiste (PCV) consiste en une série d'ajustements de procrastination. Si depuis la réunification du pays en avril 1975, le corps doctrinal de la politique économique n'a jamais cessé d'évoluer et de s'adapter, les règles d'ordonnancement du jeu politique apparaissent, elles, figées alors même que le Parti, l'État et le gouvernement ne cessent de changer de direction ces dix dernières années. Les ajustements quotidiens de l'encadrement de la politique économique ont défini une nouvelle forme de praxis d'un État socialiste, au travers des mécanismes socialistes de marché, mais ces reformulations sont encore insuffisantes pour garantir la pérennité de la croissance économique. Déstabilisatrices par nature, les réformes qui s'engagent à l'issue du VIIIe Congrès doivent répondre non seulement à des impératifs macro-économiques, mais également sociaux. Dès lors, les débats au sein de la place Ba Dinh reprennent de la vigueur et pourraient bien se révéler fondateurs de nouvelles légitimités pour ceux qui vont succéder à la génération des dirigeants issus des trois conflits paroxysmiques de la Guerre froide.
Les représentations de la nation chez les intellectuels hongrois, magyars de Roumanie et roumains après 1989 (Esquisse d'un parallèle)
Authors: Capelle-Pogácean Antonela
Published: December 2010

Après la chute des régimes communistes, les relations hungaro-rou- maines ont traversé une période de tensions. Aujourd'hui, l'heure est à une certaine «normalisation ». L'analyse des représentations de la nation chez les intellectuels hongrois, magyars de Roumanie et roumains, identifiant quelques points de convergence et de divergence, permet, quant à elle, une mise en perspective de ces relations au-delà des discours officiels. L'approche par le biais des intellectuels apparaît justifiée étant donné leur statut traditionnel dans ces sociétés, confirmé une fois de plus après 1989 par leur présence massive sur la scène publique. L'article s'intéresse à la dimension historique de la problématique hungaro-roumaine, aux modifications intervenues dans les champs intellectuels hongrois et roumains après 1989, pour proposer ensuite une typologie des discours intellectuels sur la nation. Organisée autour de deux pôles, de fermeture et d'ouverture, cette typologie révèle la domination d'un discours néo-traditionnaliste chez les intellectuels roumains, conservateur, historisant chez leurs homologues magyars de Roumanie et libéral, éclaté entre plusieurs tendances, chez les intellectuels hongrois.
Deux « comités de quartier » en Russie : la (ré)invention d'une forme de participation politique ?
Authors: Le Huérou Anne
Published: December 2010

Dans un contexte marqué par la perte de sens du politique, la création de comités de quartier en Russie peut être considérée comme un lieu de construction du lien politique. L'observation de deux d'entre eux, à Omsk et à Dol'goprudnyj, permet de dresser la typologie des différents modes de relation avec les autorités locales. Mais ces deux initiatives, marquées l'une par la stratégie politique d'un entrepreneur, l'autre par l'impuissance de quelques militants face à l'administration, ne peuvent que faiblement remédier à l'absence de participation et au déficit de représentation caractérisant la vie politique locale.
Le « modèle » espagnol de transition vers la démocratie à l'épreuve de la chute du mur de Berlin
Authors: Bazzana Bénédicte
Published: December 2010

Vingt ans après, le passage à la démocratie vécu par l'Espagne reste une référence dans toute la littérature comparative consacrée aux changements de régime. Erigé en "modèle de transition vers la démocratie" dès le début des années quatre-vingt, l'exemple espagnol a servi d'inspiration, voire de guide, à de nombreux observateurs et analystes des événements intervenus à l'Est de l'Europe au lendemain de la chute du mur de Berlin. La référence à l'Espagne est alors devenue un instrument politique de légitimation, renforçant l'influence internationale d'un "modèle espagnol de transition" déjà largement diffusé en Amérique latine. De telles comparaisons ne peuvent cependant faire abstraction des différences considérables induites par le type de régime - autoritaire ou totalitaire - précédant le processus de démocratisation. Il convient ainsi de tempérer l'optimisme de certains transitologues qui ont cru trouver à travers l'observation de l'Espagne les conditions d'une transition réussie vers une démocratie à l'occidentale.
Politiques monétaires, comportements bancaires et crises de financement en Russie : les vicissitudes des années 1990
Authors: Ould-Ahmed Pépita
Published: December 2010

Cet article a pour objet de dresser le bilan de l'évolution du système monétaire et financier de la Russie pendant les années 1990. Au cours de cette période, deux grandes politiques monétaires ont été mises en œuvre. Elles ont eu pour objectif commun la lutte contre l'inflation et l'instauration d'une discipline financière accrue des agents économiques. Nous défendrons l'idée que ces deux politiques, en raison de leur caractère restrictif, ont contribué à accentuer la crise de financement de l'économie russe. En premier lieu, elles ont hypothéqué les liquidités d'une grande fraction des entreprises, en contraignant ainsi une partie du secteur bancaire à prendre en charge leurs besoins de financement. En second lieu, les firmes, en réaction au durcissement de la contrainte monétaire, ont mené des stratégies de financement alternatives. Ces stratégies, qui ont pris des formes monétaire et non monétaire, ont évincé progressivement le rouble des circuits économiques. Elles ont accentué, en retour, la crise du système bancaire et la montée des déficits privés et publics, de plus en plus difficiles à financer. C'est pour limiter les effets de cette crise que les autorités monétaires ont été contraintes d'assouplir de manière cyclique la politique monétaire. Le krach financier d'août 1998 illustre pourtant l'échec d'une stratégie basée sur la stabilisation monétaire. Cet échec résulte de la sous- estimation des effets récessifs du rationnement du crédit bancaire sur la sphère réelle en l'absence de sources de financement alternatives pour les entreprises.
Stratégies organisationnelles et réseaux post-socialistes en Russie
Authors: Rizopoulos Yorgos
Published: December 2010

abstract : Setting up a new institutional framework in Russia is conditioned by the deep socioeconomic crisis, high degree of uncertainty and menaces against economic actors. In this context, the stability necessary for forming the expectations that foster economic activity is located in the networks that, by structuring organizational strategies for coping with uncertainty, acquire an institutional dimension. The high density of interor- ganizational flows is at the origin of the practices, codes and rules that influence new models of behavior and their diffusion, the characteristics of markets, or even interactions between the private and public sectors. By favoring the development of quite specific local conventions, post-Socialist networks in Russia break up the nation's socioeconomic space. This might hinder the formation of common representations and norms and hamper the emergence of a relatively coherent and stable institutional framework.

Authors: Gyöngyösi M. , Sochor H. , Maurer G. , Karanikas G. , Dudczak R. , Schuster E. , Porenta G. , Graf S. , Khorsand A.
Published: December 2010

Aim: We compared and delineated possible differences of model-based analysis of ECGgated SPECT using 99mTc-sestamibi (Tc- SPECT) with ECG-gated 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose- PET (FDG-PET) for determination of enddiastolic (EDV) and end-systolic (ESV) cardiac volumes, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and myocardial mass (LVMM). Patients, methods: 24 patients (21 men; age: 54 ± 12years) with coronary artery disease underwent Tc-SPECT and FDG-PET imaging for evaluation of myocardial perfusion and viability. By using model-based analysis EDV, ESV, LVEF and LVMM were calculated from short axis images of both Tc-SPECT and FDGPET. Results: Left ventricular volumes by Tc- SPECT and FDG-PET were 176 ± 60 ml and 181 ± 59 ml for EDV, and 97 ± 44 ml and 103 ± 45 ml for ESV respectively, LVEF was 47 ± 8% by Tc-SPECT and 45 ± 9% by FDG-PET. The LVMM was 214 ± 40 g (Tc-SPECT) and 202 ± 43 g (FDG-PET) (all p = NS, paired t-test). A significant correlation was observed between Tc-SPECT and FDG-PET imaging for calculation of EDV (r = 0.93), ESV (r = 0.93), LVEF (r = 0.83) and LVMM (r = 0.72). Conclusion: ECG-gated Tc-SPECT and FDG-PET using two tracers with different characteristics (perfusion versus metabolism) showed close agreement concerning measurements of left ventricular volumes, contractile function and myocardial mass by using a model-based analysis.
Re-Irradiation of Metastatic Disease in the Neck from Xeroderma Pigmentosum
Authors: Wei C.C. , Sanfilippo N.J. , Myssiorek D.
Published: December 2010

Background: Xeroderma pigmentosum, an autosomal recessive disease that occurs with a frequency of 1:250,000, is caused by a genetic defect in nucleotide excision repair enzymes. Mutation of these enzymes leads to the development of multiple basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas. Objectives: We present a case of xeroderma pigmentosum in a patient with cervical and intraparotid metastatic disease from recurrent cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas of the face and scalp, treated with neck dissection and re-irradiation. With the illustrative case report, we include a literature review of diagnosis, prognostic factors, and treatment, with emphasis on surgical and radiation treatment of cervical metastatic disease from recurrent skin carcinomas. Case Presentation: A xeroderma pigmentosum patient presented to our clinic with a 2-cm right submental and 1-cm right infra-auricular mass after resection of multiple squamous cell carcinomas of the scalp and face, and external-beam radiation therapy to the right face and neck. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the submental mass revealed poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. The patient was brought to the operating room for a right modified radical neck dissection and excision of the right submental and intraparotid mass. Surgical pathology revealed 3 level ia and supraclavicular lymph nodes that were positive for metastatic squamous cell carcinoma. Re-irradiation to the entire right hemi-neck and left submandibular nodal region was performed using opposed oblique portals for the upper neck and a low anterior en face hemi-neck portal. The left parotid region was also included in the re-irradiation volume. Treatment was completed without delayed complications or recurrences to date. Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first case report in the literature of a patient with xeroderma pigmentosum who subsequently developed metastatic disease from recurrent cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Because of the rarity of xeroderma pigmentosum, this case report is also the first to describe re-irradiation to treat cervical and intraparotid metastatic disease in a xeroderma pigmentosum patient.
EFFECTIVE NUMERICAL INTEGRATION OF TRAVELING WAVE MODEL FOR EDGE‐EMITTING BROAD‐AREA SEMICONDUCTOR LASERS AND AMPLIFIERS
Authors: Čiegis Raimondas , Radziunas Mindaugas
Published: December 2010

We consider a system of 1 + 2 dimensional partial differential equations which describes dynamics of edge‐emitting broad area semiconductor lasers and amplifiers. The given problem is defined on the unbounded domain. After truncating this domain and defining an auxiliary 1 + 1 dimensional linear Schrodinger problem supplemented with different artificial boundary conditions, we propose an effective strategy allowing to get a solution of the full problem with a satisfactory precision in a reasonable time. For further speed up of the numerical integration, we develop a parallel version of the algorithm.

LINEAR/LINEAR RATIONAL SPLINE INTERPOLATION
Authors: Ideon Erge , Oja Peeter
Published: December 2010

For a strictly monotone function y on [a, b] we describe the construction of an interpolating linear/linear rational spline S of smoothness class C 1. We show that for the linear/linear rational splines we obtain ¦S(xi ) − y(xi )¦8 = O(h 4) on uniform mesh xi = a + ih, i = 0,…, n. We prove also the superconvergence of order h3 for the first derivative and of order h2 for the second derivative of S in certain points. Numerical examples support the obtained theoretical results. This work was supported by the Estonian Science Foundation grant 8313.
QUALITATIVE PROPERTIES FOR A SIXTH–ORDER THIN FILM EQUATION
Authors: Liu Changchun
Published: December 2010

In this article, the author studies the qualitative properties of weak solutions for a sixth‐order thin film equation, which arises in the industrial application of the isolation oxidation of silicon. Based on the Schauder type estimates, we establish the global existence of classical solutions for regularized problems. After establishing some necessary uniform estimates on the approximate solutions, we prove the existence of weak solutions. The nonnegativity and the expansion of the support of solutions are also discussed.
THE IMPACTS OF BUILDABILITY FACTORS ON FORMWORK LABOUR PRODUCTIVITY OF COLUMNS
Authors: Jarkas Abdulaziz M.
Published: December 2010

The impacts of buildability on formwork labour productivity of major in situ reinforced concrete elements such as, foundations, walls, columns, beams and slabs, are yet to be determined and quantified. The labour unit cost of columns formwork, in comparison with other constituents of the reinforced concrete frame, is constantly higher due to the forming complexity of these elements, especially non‐rectangular shapes, and the small output achieved in the operation. Therefore, the objective of this research is to investigate the impacts of buildability factors on columns formwork labour productivity. To achieve this objective, a large volume of productivity data was collected and analyzed using the categorical‐regression method. As a result, the impacts of the grid patterns, variability of column sizes, repetition, total and aver‐age shutter size, and geometry of columns are quantified. Apart from the variability of column sizes, the findings show significant effects of these factors on labour productivity, which can be used to provide designers feedback on how well their designs consider the requirements of buildability principles, and the consequences of their decisions on labour efficiency. Moreover, the depicted patterns of results may provide guidance to construction managers for effective activity planning and efficient labour utilization.

Objective.

Rituximab has recently emerged as a novel treatment strategy for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We investigated longitudinally the differentiation and phenotypic changes of peripheral B cells and T cells in patients with SLE after rituximab treatment.

Methods.

Phenotypic changes on B cells and T cells in 10 patients with SLE treated with rituximab were analyzed before, 28 days after, and 2 years after rituximab treatment, and at relapse.

Results.

Rituximab rapidly depleted naive and memory B cells from the peripheral blood. In the patients with prolonged remission, the memory B cells remained depleted while naive B cells recovered within 3–9 months, and the expression levels of CD40 and CD80 remained downregulated for 2 years. There was also a decrease of memory T cells relative to naive T cells, and the expression of CD40L and inducible costimulator (ICOS) on CD4-positive T cells rapidly decreased and remained downregulated for 2 years. In 1 patient, an increase in the number of memory B cells with upregulation of CD40 and CD80 expression was noted just before relapse. In another patient with relapse, however, recovery of CD4-positive memory T cells with upregulation of ICOS expression was noted, with no change in the number of memory B cells.

Conclusion.

Our results suggest that the phenotypic changes of peripheral B cells result in inhibition of T cell differentiation and activation mediated by B cells and thereby bring about longterm remission of SLE. Activated memory B cells or ICOS-positive CD4-positive memory T cells reappeared in association with relapse, probably reflecting the heterogeneity of SLE.
Rente pétrolière et politique budgétaire en Équateur
Authors: Mejía Acosta Andrés , Albornoz Vicente
Published: December 2010

Résumé Le processus budgétaire équatorien a été marqué, depuis le milieu des années 1990, par une série de réformes institutionnelles visant à réduire les capacités de marchandage des législateurs et à accroître la cohérence des choix budgétaires. Des réformes constitutionnelles ont notamment été adoptées, suivies d’une dollarisation de l’économie et d’une loi de responsabilité fiscale. Cet article évalue l’impact de ces réformes sur les capacités d’influence des différents acteurs budgétaires et sur la qualité des arbitrages budgétaires, durant les phases de préparation, d’approbation et d’exécution du budget. S’il met en évidence que la maîtrise accrue de l’agenda budgétaire par l’exécutif et la période haussière des cours du pétrole ont permis une rationalisation du processus budgétaire, il soutient principalement que les impacts ont été moindre qu’escomptés pour deux séries de raisons. D’une part, l’accroissement des recettes pétrolières a relâché les incitations à la discipline fiscale. D’autre part, les traditionnels marchandages politiques entre l’exécutif et le législatif se sont largement déplacés, et se déroulent désormais entre les différents niveaux de gouvernement. Il n’est pas certain que ce déplacement permette à moyen terme une plus grande cohérence et une meilleure prévisibilité dans l’allocation des ressources nationales.
Benefits, Barriers, and Intentions/Desires of Nurses Related to Distance Learning in Rural Island Communities
Authors: Kataoka-Yahiro Merle R. , Richardson Karol , Mobley Joseph
Published: December 2010

Background:

This study assessed distance learning needs among nurses on the Neighbor Islands in Hawaii.

Methods:

An exploratory study was conducted using a descriptive qualitative design. Of the 37 nurses who completed the study, 7 were nurse administrators and 30 were staff nurses. There were 18 focus groups of nurses recruited from six public hospitals on the Neighbor Islands.

Results:

Three major themes related to distance learning emerged in this study: benefits, barriers, and intentions/desires. Each major theme had several linkages to categories and subcategories.

Conclusion:

Overall findings were as follows: (1) cost was mentioned more often in three major thematic areas (benefit, barriers, and intentions/desires); (2) the need to revisit and address current curriculum approaches and practices in distance learning programs was identified; and (3) strong recommendations were made for programs and organizational support for distance learning in hospital settings. These findings have implications for nursing research, education, and practice.

Posterior Soft Tissue Repair in Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Tarasevicius Sarunas , Robertsson Otto , Wingstrand Hans
Published: December 2010

Posterior soft tissue repair is a well-known procedure in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Many reports have shown the advantage of posterior soft tissue repair in reducing the dislocation rate; however, we were unable to find any randomized trials in the literature. This article describes a randomized trial performed to investigate the effect of posterior soft tissue repair on the dislocation rate after 298 THAs in 291 patients.

Preoperatively, patients were randomized into 2 groups: posterior soft tissue repair after insertion of the components, or no posterior soft tissue repair. One year postoperatively, 12 patients had died and 10 were lost to follow-up, leaving 276 THAs in 265 patients for analysis. A posterior soft tissue repair had been performed in 134 and no repair in 141 THA.

One year postoperatively, 3 dislocations (2%) had occurred in the repaired group and 7 in the unrepaired group (5%); the difference was not significant (
P
=.3). There were 2 sciatic nerve palsies in the repaired group, 1 of which was directly related to the posterior soft tissue repair.

In this randomized, controlled trial of 276 THAs followed for 1 year, there was a tendency for a lower dislocation rate, although not statistically significant, when a posterior repair was performed. If reattaching the posterior tendons, it should be performed with caution with respect to the sciatic nerve.
The Use of Continuous Passive Motion Following Knee Cartilage Defect Surgery: A Systematic Review
Authors: Fazalare Joseph A. , Griesser Michael J. , Siston Robert A. , Flanigan David C.
Published: December 2010

We evaluated the clinical evidence of using continuous passive motion postoperatively after treating articular cartilage lesions of the knee. We hypothesized that postoperatively, the use of continuous passive motion improves the outcomes of cartilage restoration procedures. Multiple medical databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PubMed, Sport-Discus, and Cochrane) were searched for Level I through IV evidence with specific study inclusion and exclusion criteria. The following key words were searched: microfracture, mosaicplasty, OATS, ACI, osteochondral autograft, osteochondral allograft, autologous chondrocyte implantation, autologous chondrocyte transplantation, CPM, continuous passive motion, motion therapy, postoperative knee rehabilitation, cartilage, knee. All studies were independently reviewed by the authors and the references were checked for any missed articles. Four Level III studies were identified that met inclusion criteria for our hypothesis. No randomized, controlled studies were identified. A meta-analysis could not be performed as a result of the heterogeneity of the procedures and outcome measures. Definitive conclusions regarding the benefits of continuous passive motion postoperatively in knee cartilage surgery could not be made secondary to this heterogeneity. Continuous passive motion is commonly used postoperatively following cartilage surgery. Unfortunately, the clinical evidence (only 4 studies) to support the use of continuous passive motion is lacking despite an overwhelming abundance of basic science support and the common clinical practice of continuous passive motion implementation postoperatively in knee cartilage restoration procedures. There is a great need for well-conducted, high-level evidence studies to address this void in our literature.
Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis with Severe Vitamin D Deficiency
Authors: Skelley Nathan W. , Papp Derek F. , Lee Rushyuan J. , Sargent M. Catherine
Published: December 2010

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis is a relatively common disorder in late childhood and early adolescence, with an incidence in the United States of approximately 10 per 100,000. Although clinicians have theorized that contributing factors to the development of slipped capital femoral epiphysis include 25-hydroxyvitamin D deficiency and other nutritional deficiencies, the roles of these factors have not been fully analyzed. This article presents a case of a morbidly obese 13-year-old African-American boy who presented with sudden worsening of chronic hip pain and was diagnosed with stable, bilateral, grade-III slipped capital femoral epiphysis and severe vitamin D deficiency. He was initially treated with bilateral single-screw percutaneous fixation, however, after continued pain and nonunion, a right valgus subtrochanteric osteotomy was performed in association with correction of his severe vitamin D deficiency. This procedure led to improvement of his hip function and successful resolution of the pain. Approximately 3 months after the second operation and vitamin supplementation, the patient had signs of union, and his weight bearing progressed without discomfort. Although the osteotomy provided substantial biomechanical advantage by changing the forces across the physis from shear to compressive, correction of the vitamin D deficiency was critical in providing metabolic capacity for bone healing. Vitamin D plays an important role in bone formation and development, but the level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D is not routinely measured during assessment and treatment of slipped capital femoral epiphysis patients. The early detection and proper treatment of vitamin D may assist in the treatment of patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis.
Anterior Sacroiliac Dislocation
Authors: Feinblatt Jeff S. , Phieffer Laura S. , Lawyer Ruskin B.
Published: December 2010

Although much has been written on the evaluation and management of pelvic ring injuries, only a single case of anterior sacroiliac joint dislocation exists in the literature and was reported in 1976. This article describes 2 additional cases, 1 of a pure anterior sacroiliac dislocation in a 25-year-old man, and 1 of an anterior sacroiliac fracture-dislocation in an 18-year-old man, each treated by a different orthopedic traumatologist at neighboring trauma centers. Both cases were the result of high-energy trauma, and both patients had significant complications resulting from severity of their injuries, including wound dehiscence and causalgia in 1 case and persistent L5-S1 paresthesias and paresis in the other.

Closed reduction can be attempted, but in our experience was unsuccessful even with the use of external fixation pins for leverage. We recommend open reduction by an orthopedic traumatologist who will perform definitive fixation. The decision to use an anterior external fixation frame to assist during the patient’s resuscitation should be based on the patient’s hemodynamic status and concomitant injuries. Despite a high complication rate, operative intervention can return patients to a functional level with minimal residual pain.
Corneal Wound Healing After Ultraviolet-A/Riboflavin Collagen Cross-Linking: A Rabbit Study
Authors: Salomão Marcella Q. , Chaurasia Shyam S. , Sinha-Roy Abhijit , Ambrósio Renato , Esposito Andrew , Sepulveda Ricardo , Agrawal Vandana , Wilson Steven E.
Published: December 2010

Purpose:

To investigate corneal wound healing following ultraviolet-A (UVA)/riboflavin corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) in rabbit corneas.

Methods:

Thirty-six rabbits were enrolled in the study. Animals were divided into three treatment groups and corneas were analyzed at 24 hours and 4 weeks postoperatively. Thus, each group had 6 rabbits at each time point. Treatment groups were: 1) standard UVA+riboflavin CXL, 2) UVA alone, and 3) riboflavin alone. One eye of each rabbit served as an untreated control eye. TUNEL assay was performed to detect stromal cell apoptosis. Immunocytochemistry was performed to detect the inflammatory marker CD11b expressed in monocytes and the alpha-smooth muscle actin (SMA) marker expressed in myofibroblasts.

Results:

At 24 hours, corneas from the UVA+riboflavin CXL group had significantly more apoptosis than the UVA alone and riboflavin alone groups. Eyes from all three groups had significantly more inflammatory cell influx into the cornea than unwounded controls. Four weeks after the procedure, many corneas in the UVA+riboflavin CXL group had mild haze, but very few SMA-positive myofibroblasts could be detected in the central cornea.

Conclusions:

Riboflavin+UVA CXL triggers more anterior keratocyte apoptosis than corneal scrape with UVA alone or riboflavin alone. Inflammation monitored by the monocyte marker CD11b was present, but not statistically different among the three groups. Very little myofibroblast generation could be detected after UVA+riboflavin CXL, indicating that the mild stromal haze associated with this procedure is normally related to transient corneal fibroblast generation rather than more persistent haze due to generation of myofibroblasts.

Elementos retóricos en los senatus consulta de Germánico César y de Gneo Pisón
Authors: Sánchez-Ostiz Álvaro
Published: December 2010

Este artículo analiza tres pasajes capitales de los senatus consulta relativos a los honores póstumos concedidos a Germánico César (Tabula Siarensis) y al juicio de Pisón (Senatus Consultum de Gnaeo Pisone Patre), en los que se halla reflejada la elaboración retórica de los discursos senatoriales originales: 1. el decreto inscrito en el arco del Circus Flaminius (TS I 9-18); 2. la alabanza por parte del senado de la moderatio de la casa imperial en los días que siguieron a la muerte de Germánico (SCPP 123-151); y 3. el decreto acerca de los retratos de Germánico y Druso en la biblioteca del Palatino (TS IIc 13-17). El notable uso de la oratoria epidíctica en estos discursos deliberativos y judiciales no es accidental, sino intencionada: muestra cómo la ideología política del Principado influye en la práctica de la retórica.
Una lista de autores literarios en Plinio el Viejo: Naturalis Historia VII 107-117
Authors: González Marín Susana
Published: December 2010

Plinio el Viejo en NH VII 107-117 realiza una selección de personalidades griegas y romanas que han destacado por su ingenium, siguiendo el modelo de los tratados περὶ τεχνιτῶν, entre los que se cuenta el De Poetis de Varrón. La inclusión de cada una de las figuras está justificada por la gloria que ha obtenido y por el respaldo de una autoridad, casi siempre del poder político. Los cuatro autores romanos elegidos (Ennio, Virgilio, Varrón, Cicerón) constituyen, según Plinio, puntos de referencia culturales para el pueblo romano. A través de esta selección el autor define su propio lugar dentro de la tradición y refleja su actitud hacia la actividad intelectual: la valoración del servicio público prestado por el autor, la importancia de la utilidad de su obra, la preferencia por la prosa, y el ascenso en la consideración social de los expertos.
En torno a la datación del tragediógrafo Mosquión y al concepto griego del progreso humano
Authors: Vinagre Miguel Á.
Published: December 2010

Se defiende una datación tardía (al menos del siglo III a.C.) para el tragediógrafo Mosquión sobre el análisis de distintas evidencias: 1) La fama de Alejandro de Feras llegó hasta época imperial, por lo que el fragmento 3 de Mosquión, de su tragedia Los fereos, pudo ser redactado en época helenística. 2) El estudio detallado de los pasajes de la comedia media y nueva en que aparece mencionado un Mosquión demuestra que ninguno se refiere a un trágico famoso, y que sus autores no conocían a un tragediógrafo de ese nombre. 3) Hay ciertas expresiones en Mosquión, Nicandro y Licofrón que indican influencias estilísticas directas. 4) Entre los textos griegos relativos al progreso humano, el de Diodoro Sículo es el que muestra más puntos de coincidencia con el de Mosquión, lo que puede indicar que los dos dependen de la misma fuente, probablemente helenística.

Sexto Empírico y la μουσική
Authors: Redondo Reyes Pedro
Published: December 2010

Este artículo revisa algunos de los tópicos de la teoría musical griega a comienzos de nuestra era, tal y como son enunciados y tratados por Sexto Empírico en el libro VI de su Aduersus mathematicos: sonido, notas, géneros melódicos y carácter. En su definición es posible rastrear no sólo el estado de la teoría musical en su época sino estudiar el tratamiento que les da este autor.
El dativo latino: interpretaciones y bibliografía en los dos últimos siglos
Authors: Gutiérrez Galindo Marco Antonio
Published: December 2010

El presente artículo persigue dos objetivos fundamentales: de un lado, ofrecemos una visión crítica de los logros y deficiencias que podemos encontrar en los principales estudios sobre el dativo latino en los dos últimos siglos; de otro, ofrecemos una relación exhaustiva de dichos trabajos. De nuestro análisis se desprende, además, que cualquier teoría sintáctia encuentra en el dativo (latino) una apropiada piedra de toque para validar sus posiblidades.
Falsas apariencias: rodio ΕΣΠΡΤΕΝ
Authors: Méndez Dosuna Julián
Published: December 2010

Rodio ἐ̣σ̣[π]ράΤ̣εν es un fantasma. La lectura correcta debe ser ἐ̣σ̣[π]ρά̣Ζεν con una -Ζ- etimológicamente esperable (cf. πέπρα̅γα, πρᾶγος, ἀπραγία). La erosión de la piedra ha borrado la barra inferior de Τ̲ (signo Z arcaico), lo que crea una falsa apariencia de Τ. En las inscripciones rodias más recientes, el tipo autóctono πράζω, comparable a cretense πράδδω (πράττω), ha sido sustituido por el supradialectal y secundario πράσσω.

Plotin et Epicure
Authors: Charrue Jean-Michel
Published: December 2010

Les dieux d’Epicure sont beaux, les particules de leurs corps sont transparentes, et les images qu’ils renvoient. Plotin ne semble pas gêné par cette vision où les dieux ne s’occupent pas des affaires des hommes, mais critique l’absence de Providence. La sagesse d’Epicure privilégie le plaisir, ce qui accepté par Plotin avant qu’il ne déclare que le bonheur véritable est le Bien. La matière faite d’atome et de vide, les composés ne lui conviennent guère. La sensation marque un rapprochement de Plotin, avec la théorie épicurienne des images.

Símiles y metáforas de la erudición en Aulo Gelio
Authors: García Jurado Francisco
Published: December 2010

Pocas obras como las Noches áticas de Aulo Gelio ofrecen una idea tan rica sobre el concepto de la erudición y las cuestiones o problemas. La naturaleza abstracta de estos conceptos, sin embargo, no impide que la articulación de sus diferentes características se haga en torno a aspectos de la realidad sensible. De esta manera, la idea de erudición y de las cuestiones se va a construir a partir de metáforas y símiles tomados de objetos tangibles como las provisiones, los bocados, las ofrendas, los nudos, el juego de dados o la mezcla y acumulación de sustancias. Asimismo, la idea de lugar tendrá su importancia a la hora de valorar, en especial la dificultad del aprendizaje. Finalmente, trataremos sobre la importante metáfora de la erudición como luz, que motiva el propio título de la obra de Gelio.

Nueva inscripción lusitana procedente de Portalegre
Authors: Prósper Blanca M. , Villar Francisco
Published: December 2010

La aparición de una nueva inscripción lusitana indígena, la mas meridional de las conocidas hasta ahora, constituye una novedad de primer orden para el estudio de las lenguas prerromanas de la Península Ibérica. Este artículo aborda el análisis de la inscripción desde el punto de vista sintáctico y etimológico y concluye que su contenido aporta nuevos datos sobre la clasificación del lusitano como dialecto cercano a las lenguas itálicas y el latín.
