Vers d’autres doctorats entre mondes divergents
Authors: Brackelaire Jean-Luc 
Published: November 2018

Des thèses de doctorat entre des mondes divergents sont de belles occasions pour les doctorants et pour les équipes qui les accompagnent de s’ouvrir à d’autres modes d’élaboration de savoir et d’en inventer des formes nouvelles en adéquation avec l’altérité, l’interculturalité et le caractère inédit des phénomènes étudiés. Ces occasions d’ouverture et de création se heurtent néanmoins à de redoutables obstacles occasionnant plutôt fermeture et souffrance. De telles impasses, lorsqu’elles sont reconnues, élaborées et dépassées entre les acteurs engagés, peuvent déboucher sur de nouveaux chemins et, si on s’en instruit collectivement, frayer la route aux suivants et ouvrir l’avenir. Une chose est de tirer parti des difficultés affrontées sur un parcours de thèse pour aboutir tout de même à un résultat qui en vaut la peine. Autre chose est de tirer enseignement des obstacles rencontrés ensemble pour baliser autrement de futurs parcours possibles. Des points de souffrance qui hantent les traversées doctorales interculturelles deviennent des points de repères pour converger vers des formes plus ouvertes de construction de savoirs entre mondes divergents.
Anterior C1-C2 Screw Fixation and Bony Fusion Through an Anterior Retropharyngeal Approach
Authors: Vaccaro Alexander R , Lehman Andrew P , Ahlgren Bradley D , Garfin Steven R 
Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT
We present a case that demonstrates an occasion where an alternative method of Cl -C2 fusion may be used when a posterior approach limited to the atlantoaxial level is not desirable. A 22-year-old man presented with a symptomatic nonunited Brooks posterior atlantoaxial fusion following a chronically displaced type Il odontoid fracture with a two-part fracture of the posterior arch of Cl . An anterior retropharyngeal approach was used to perform an anterior Cl - C2 fusion with screw fixation. The surgical technique, as well as the merits and indications of this infrequently used procedure, are discussed.
Initial Trabeculectomy With Intraoperative Mitomycin-C Application in Primary Glaucomas
Authors: Rasheed El Sayed 
Published: November 2018

* PURPOSE: This is a prospective randomized study designed to compare the overall efficacy of intraoperative application of mitomycin-C (MMC) in eyes with no previous ocular surgery versus standard trabeculectomy without MMC.
* METHODS: Twenty- five patients with primary glaucoma had been treated with trabeculectomy in one eye and trabeculectomy with MMC in the other eye. Patients were followed up for 18 months.
* RESULTS: Intraocular pressure (IOP) was 20 mm Hg or less in 23 eyes (92%) in the treatment group after a mean follow up of 17.8 ±1.1 months and 17 control eyes (68%) after mean follow up period of 17.8 ±1.2 months (range, 16.7-19 months). Wound leaks occurred in 10 (40%) of the treatment group and 3 (12%) of control group. Bleb scarring developed in 1 eye (4%) of the treatment group and 6 (24%) of the control group. Hypotony maculopathy developed in 3 (12%) of the MMC group. Postoperatively, laser suture lysis was needed in 13 (52%) of the treatment group and 21 (84%) of the control group. Additional filter was needed in (4%) of the treatment group, while additional filters were needed in 7 (28%) of the control group.
* CONCLUSION: Intraoperative MMC application may increase the success rate of glaucoma surgery, but close follow-up and meticulous management of patients are needed, especially in the early postoperative period.

Talin1 Methylation Is Required for Neutrophil Infiltration and Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Lethality
Authors: Lim Thomas Jun Feng , Su I-Hsin 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Talin1, a well-established integrin coactivator, is critical for the transmigration of neutrophils across the vascular endothelium into various organs and the peritoneal cavity during inflammation. Several posttranslational modifications of talin1 have been proposed to play a role in this process. In this study, we show that trimethylation of talin1 at Lys2454 by cytosolic Ezh2 is substantially increased in murine peritoneal neutrophils upon induction of peritonitis. By reconstituting talin1-deficient mouse myeloid cells with wild-type, methyl-mimicking, or unmethylatable talin1 variants, we demonstrate that methylation of talin1 at Lys2454 is important for integrin-dependent neutrophil infiltration into the peritoneal cavity. Furthermore, we show that treatment with an Ezh2 inhibitor or reconstitution of talin1-deficient myeloid cells with unmethylatable talin1 significantly reduces the number of organ-infiltrating neutrophils and protects mice from LPS-induced mortality.

Abstract
Dengue virus (DENV) and Zika virus (ZIKV) are mosquito-borne pathogens that have a significant impact on human health. Immune sera, mAbs, and memory B cells (MBCs) isolated from patients infected with one DENV type can be cross-reactive with the other three DENV serotypes and even more distantly related flaviviruses such as ZIKV. Conventional ELISPOTs effectively measure Ab-secreting B cells but because they are limited to the assessment of a single Ag at a time, it is challenging to distinguish serotype-specific and cross-reactive MBCs in the same well. We developed a novel multifunction FluoroSpot assay using fluorescently labeled DENV and ZIKV (FLVs) that measures the cross-reactivity of Abs secreted by single B cells. Conjugation efficiency and recognition of FLVs by virus-specific Abs were confirmed by flow cytometry. Using a panel of DENV immune, ZIKV immune, and naive PBMC, FLVs were able to simultaneously detect DENV serotype-specific, ZIKV-specific, DENV serotype cross-reactive, and DENV/ZIKV cross-reactive Abs secreted by individual MBCs. Our findings indicate that the FLVs are sensitive and specific tools to detect specific and cross-reactive MBCs. These reagents will allow the assessment of the breadth as well as the durability of DENV/ZIKV B cell responses following vaccination or natural infection. This novel approach using FLVs in a FluoroSpot assay can be applied to other diseases such as influenza in which prior immunity with homosubtype- or heterosubtype-specific MBCs may influence subsequent infections.

Fallen Critic: The Undocumented Dramas of Bernard Weinraub
Authors: Polster Joshua E. 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
The Huntington Theatre's 2018 season included Bernard Weinraub's new play Fall. The play is a fictional account, though largely based on limited information provided in the Vanity Fair article “Arthur Miller's Missing Act.” Fall attempts to chronicle the familial struggles between playwright Arthur Miller and his third wife, Austrian-born photojournalist Inge Morath, over their son Daniel, who has Down syndrome. The play harshly accuses the playwright, considered the ethical voice of his generation, of fraudulency and acting incongruously to his moralistic dramas by erasing Daniel from his life in order to protect his image and career. This article discusses how Fall was written by a playwright with a background in plagiarism and yellow journalism aesthetics, how the play was built largely on conjecture, and then how, in the Huntington production, the play disingenuously presented itself as fact in script, direction, design, and advertisement.

Published: November 2018

Introduction:
Previous studies have examined the relationship between total hip arthroplasty (THA) and insurance status in small cohorts. This study evaluates the effect of patient insurance status on complications after primary elective THA using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample.

Methods:
All patients undergoing primary elective THA from 1998 to 2011 were included. Patient demographics, comorbidities, and complications were collected and compared based on insurance type. Multivariable logistic regression and a matched cohort analysis were performed.

Results:
About 515,037 patients (53.7% Medicare, 40.1% private insurance, 3.9% Medicaid/uninsured, and 2.2% other) were included, who underwent elective THA. Privately insured patients had fewer medical complications (odds ratio, 0.80; P < 0.001), whereas patients with Medicaid or no insurance demonstrated no notable difference (odds ratio, 1.03; P = 0.367) compared with Medicare patients. Similar trends were found for both surgical complications and mortality, favoring lower complication rates for privately insured patients. Furthermore, patients with private insurance tend to go to higher volume hospitals for total hip replacement surgery compared to those with Medicare insurance.

Discussion:
Patients with government-sponsored insurance (Medicare or Medicaid) or no insurance have higher risk of medical complications, surgical complications, and mortality after primary elective THA compared with privately insured patients. Insurance status should be considered an independent risk factor for stratifying patients before THA procedures.

The monster truck drama in Haaksbergen and the resign of the mayor
Following a crisis, questions are often raised about how this crisis could have happened and whether someone is to be blamed for the crisis or its bad management. The blame game can become fierce as actors try to avoid, shift or mitigate blame in order to stay in office. In 2014, a festival took place in Haaksbergen where a monster truck drove into the audience, killing three people and injuring many others. Not enough safety measures had been taken to prevent the tragedy. Many actors were to blame for that, including the local authority which had granted the permit. Other actors blamed for the events were the mayor, the monster truck driver, and the organization organizing the festival. In the end, the mayor of Haaksbergen resigned. Instead of becoming more accommodative in his response as his blame levels increased, the mayor continued to be quite defensive, stating that the permit would be granted again – even with today’s knowledge. As one council member stated it, one cannot defend something which cannot be defended.

Просечне глобалне температуре су се повећале током последњих деценија и предвиђа се даљи растући тренд. Такви догађаји се најчешће у научним круговима објашњавају због повећане концентрација гасова са ефектом стаклене баште, што потврђују и извештаји Међувладиног панела за климатске промене. У раду су приказани подаци о концентрацији гасова са ефектом стаклене баште на територији Републике Србије за 1999, 1998. и 2013. годину. Извршено је и поређење температуре ваздуха као једног од основних климатских елемената. То је урађено коришћењем и обрадом података метеоролошке станице у Крагујевцу. Поређени су подаци о стању температуре ваздуха за период 1961-90. година и 1981-2010. година. Добијени резултати показују да је температура ваздуха порасла за 0,6° С.
The traffic ATPase PilF interacts with the inner membrane platform of the DNA translocator and type IV pili from Thermus thermophilus
Authors: Kruse Kerstin , Salzer Ralf , Averhoff Beate 
Published: November 2018

A major driving force for the adaptation of bacteria to changing environments is the uptake of naked DNA from the environment by natural transformation, which allows the acquisition of new capabilities. Uptake of the high molecular weight DNA is mediated by a complex transport machinery that spans the entire cell periphery. This DNA translocator catalyzes the binding and splitting of double‐stranded DNA and translocation of single‐stranded DNA into the cytoplasm, where it is recombined with the chromosome. The thermophilic bacterium Thermus thermophilus exhibits the highest transformation frequencies reported and is a model system to analyze the structure and function of this macromolecular transport machinery. Transport activity is powered by the traffic ATPase PilF, a soluble protein that forms hexameric complexes. Here, we demonstrate that PilF physically binds to an inner membrane assembly platform of the DNA translocator, comprising PilMNO, via the ATP‐binding protein PilM. Binding to PilMNO or PilMN stimulates the ATPase activity of PilF ~ 2‐fold, whereas there is no stimulation when binding to PilM or PilN alone. A PilMK26A variant defective in ATP binding still binds PilF and, together with PilN, stimulates PilF‐mediated ATPase activity. PilF is unique in having three conserved GSPII (general secretory pathway II) domains (A–C) at its N terminus. Deletion analyses revealed that none of the GSPII domains is essential for binding PilMN, but GSPIIC is essential for PilMN‐mediated stimulation of ATP hydrolysis by PilF. Our data suggest that PilM is a coupling protein that physically and functionally connects the soluble motor ATPase PilF to the DNA translocator via the PilMNO assembly platform.

Published: November 2018

AbstractHigh adhesion and water resistance on skin surfaces are highly demanded properties for wearable and skin‐attachable electronics in various medical applications. Here, stretchable electronics with octopus‐like patterns (OPs) imprinted on a carbon‐based conductive polymer composite (CPC) film are presented. The bioinspired conductive suckers with dome‐like architectures are successfully exploited to sustain weight (500 g) in underwater, wherein this performance is known to be challenging. In addition, the artificial patch allows highly adhesive capabilities under both dry and wet conditions on various surfaces such as silicon (max. 5.24 N cm−2) and skin replica (max. 1.89 N cm−2) without contamination after detachment with an effortless peel‐off technique. The resulting device with low volumetric ratio of conductive carbon black presents sensitive and reliable piezoresistive responses to lateral strain and vertical pressure. By controlling the ratio of the carbon nanoplatelets in the polymeric matrix, electronic patch demonstrates both detection of electrocardiogram (ECG) and bending motions of wrist in dry and wet environments. Based on the characteristics shown in this work, the proposed electronic patch is a promising approach to realize wearable and skin‐attachable sensor devices for in vitro and in vivo monitoring of various biosignals.

Abstract2D transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have emerged as promising candidates for post‐silicon nanoelectronics owing to their unique and outstanding semiconducting properties. However, contact engineering for these materials to create high‐performance devices while adapting for large‐area fabrication is still in its nascent stages. In this study, graphene/Ag contacts are introduced into MoS2 devices, for which a graphene film synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is inserted between a CVD‐grown MoS2 film and a Ag electrode as an interfacial layer. The MoS2 field‐effect transistors with graphene/Ag contacts show improved electrical and photoelectrical properties, achieving a field‐effect mobility of 35 cm2 V−1 s−1, an on/off current ratio of 4 × 108, and a photoresponsivity of 2160 A W−1, compared to those of devices with conventional Ti/Au contacts. These improvements are attributed to the low work function of Ag and the tunability of graphene Fermi level; the n‐doping of Ag in graphene decreases its Fermi level, thereby reducing the Schottky barrier height and contact resistance between the MoS2 and electrodes. This demonstration of contact interface engineering with CVD‐grown MoS2 and graphene is a key step toward the practical application of atomically thin TMDC‐based devices with low‐resistance contacts for high‐performance large‐area electronics and optoelectronics.

Published: November 2018

AbstractFerrimagnetic materials combine the advantages of the low magnetic moment of an antiferromagnet and the ease of realizing magnetic reading of a ferromagnet. Recently, it was demonstrated that compensated ferrimagnetic half metals can be realized in Heusler alloys, where high spin polarization, zero magnetic moment, and low magnetic damping can be achieved at the same time. In this work, by studying the spin–orbit torque induced switching in the Heusler alloy Mn2Ru1−

x
Ga, it is found that efficient current‐induced magnetic switching can be realized in a nearly compensated sample with strong perpendicular anisotropy and large film thickness. This work demonstrates the possibility of employing compensated Heusler alloys for fast, energy‐efficient spintronic devices.

AbstractFunctional coupling live neurons through artificial synapses is the primary requirement for their implementation as prosthetic devices or in building hybrid networks. Here, the first evidence of unidirectional, activity dependent, coupling of two live neurons in brain slices via organic memristive devices (OMD) is demonstrated. ODM is a polymeric electrochemical element, which has two terminals for the connection in electrical circuits and which displays hysteresis and rectifying features. OMD coupling is characterized by nonlinear relationships determined by the instantaneous values of OMD resistance that can be controlled by the neuronal activity, and the excitation threshold in the postsynaptic neuron. OMD coupling also has the spike‐timing features similar to that of the natural excitatory synapses. Also, OMD‐synapses support synchronized delta‐oscillations in the two‐neuron network. It is proposed that OMD‐synapses may enable realization of prosthetic synapses and building hybrid neuronal networks endowed with a capacity of learning, memory, and computation.
