Tacos, Sriracha et sauce soya : le marketing qui nous fait aimer ces aliments venus d’ailleurs
Authors: LeBel Jordan L. , Le Bouthillier Marie 
Published: May 2019

Les aliments « ethniques », appartenant à un répertoire culinaire venu d’ailleurs, sont aujourd’hui une réalité bien présente sur les tablettes d’épicerie et dans les garde-manger canadiens. Par le biais de quelles tactiques marketing ces aliments ont-ils pris leur place dans nos paniers d’épicerie et nos habitudes alimentaires ? Dans cet article, nous présentons trois études de cas (les tacos, la sauce Sriracha et la sauce soya) et dégageons quelques leçons tirées des tactiques marketing qui ont rendu ces aliments populaires. Ces cas soulignent, entre autres, le rôle et l’importance de l’entrepreneuriat et des influenceurs qui ont façonné la trajectoire commerciale de ces aliments ainsi que la relation que les consommateurs ont développée avec ceux-ci.
Savourer le Japon d’Aki Shimazaki
Authors: Lambert-Perreault Marie-Christine 
Published: May 2019

Depuis les 25 dernières années, des écrivaines venues d’Asie publient en français au Québec et au Canada des oeuvres témoignant d’un « imaginaire trans-local » (Lequin, 2008), qui construit de la convergence et du décentrement. Si la représentation de la nourriture et de la sensorialité – souvent associées à l’identité et aux affects des protagonistes – commence à être étudiée chez Ying Chen ou Kim Thúy, la production d’Aki Shimazaki, écrivaine québécoise d’origine japonaise, a encore été peu envisagée dans cette perspective, et ce, même si le fait alimentaire est mentionné de manière ponctuelle dans la plupart de ses récits. Cet article étudie l’inscription littéraire de la nourriture dans les ensembles romanesques shimazakiens « Le poids des secrets » (1999-2004), « Au coeur du Yamato » (2006-2013) et « L’ombre du chardon » (2014-2018), dans la mesure où celle-ci est informée par l’expérience transculturelle vécue par l’auteure. Il fait valoir que les descriptions culinaires et alimentaires sont régies chez Shimazaki par une esthétique de la distance, qu’elles témoignent d’une proximité avec la nature, qu’elles obéissent à certains codes culturels et qu’elles sont ancrées dans l’espace social japonais (domestique, semi-public et public).

Background
From 2005 to 2015, the prevalence of dental caries in both primary and permanent dentitions was significantly increased in China. Previous studies have shown that the prevalence of permanent dental caries in school-aged children had already reached 19.7%–54.0%, 97.5% affecting first permanent molars. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and contributing factors of dental caries in 6-year-old children in four regions of China to provide information for oral health promotion programs.

Methods
A randomized cluster sampling method was employed in the study. All 6-year-old first grade children from the selected schools were invited to receive a clinical oral examination. Dental caries were diagnosed according to the World Health Organization criteria. The erupting first permanent molars were recorded using the modified International Caries Detection Assessment System. Questionnaires assessing children’s oral health-related behaviors and their caretakers’ oral health awareness and attitudes were completed by the children’s parents or guardians.

Results
Overall, 4,936 6-year-old school children participated in the survey. The prevalence of caries among these children was 87.7%, with a mean number of decayed, missing and filled teeth of 6.04 (SD, 4.24). In primary dentition, the caries prevalence was 87.7%, and the mean dmft score was 6.01 (SD, 4.22). In permanent dentition, the caries prevalence was 2.0%, the mean DFS score was 0.04 (SD, 0.31). All permanent dental caries occurred on the first permanent molars. Carious tooth surfaces were identified as modified ICDAS code “A” to indicate initial caries and distinct visual change in enamel. The mean DAS score of non-cavitated caries in the first permanent molars was 0.18 (SD, 0.67). Logistic regression analysis showed that regional and gender factors were significantly related to the caries experience of these children.

Conclusions
The 6-year-old children from four regions of China had sever primary dental caries and the first permanent molars were at high risk for dental caries. It is critical to protect permanent teeth from caries as early as the eruption of the first permanent molars.
Influence of foetal inflammation on the development of meconium aspiration syndrome in term neonates with meconium-stained amniotic fluid
Authors: Yokoi Kyoko , Iwata Osuke , Kobayashi Satoru , Muramatsu Kanji , Goto Haruo 
Published: May 2019

Background
Meconium-stained amniotic fluid is observed in approximately 10–15% of all deliveries; however, only 5% of neonates with meconium-stained amniotic fluid develop meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS). Although foetal distress and subsequent sympathetic stimulation have been considered as the primary upstream events of MAS, this clinical complication sometimes occurs due to other pathologies, such as intraamniotic inflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the incidence of MAS is associated with the presence of funisitis and chorioamnionitis in term neonates with meconium-stained amniotic fluid.

Methods
Between April 2013 and March 2015, a total of 95 term neonates with meconium-stained amniotic fluid, who were hospitalized at a neonatal intensive care unit, were enrolled in the study. The placenta and umbilical cord were histopathologically examined. Clinical variables and histopathological findings associated with the incidence of MAS were studied.

Results
A total of 36 neonates developed MAS. Univariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a heavier birth weight, male sex, 1-min Apgar score ≤ 7, funisitis (but not chorioamnionitis), and elevated acute-phase inflammatory reaction score were associated with increased incidence of MAS (all p < 0.05). The multivariate model comprised funisitis (OR = 5.03, 95% CI [1.63–15.5], 1-min Apgar score ≤ 7 (OR = 2.74, 95% CI [1.06–7.09], and male sex (OR = 3.4, 95% CI [1.24–9.34].

Conclusion
In neonates with meconium-stained amniotic fluid, funisitis, as well as low 1-min Apgar score and male sex, was identified as an independent variable for MAS development. Intraamniotic inflammation might be involved in the pathological mechanisms of MAS.

Published: May 2019

Background: Childhood cancer is attracting public health attention in Sub-Saharan Africa because of its’ increasing contribution to morbidity and mortality, and the changing pattern in relative frequency and diagnostic challenges in resources poor settings. The objective of the study was to determine the pattern of malignant childhood tumours in Jos, North-central Nigeria.
Materials and Methods: Records of childhood malignancies diagnosed over a 10 year period was obtained from the hospital cancer registry. Archival paraffin embedded, formalin fixed tissue blocks were retrieved and fresh sections cut and stained with Haematoxylin and Eosin. The slides were reviewed and the histopathological pattern, age, sex and anatomical site of distribution of the tumours were analyzed.
Results: There were 210 cases of childhood malignancies during the period of the study. The male: female ratio was 1.5:1. Mesenchymal tumours predominated (66%), followed by epithelial tumours (32%) and germ cell tumors which accounted for 2% of cases. Soft tissue sarcomas, lymphomas, nephroblastoma and retinoblastoma were the four most common tumours. Together they accounted for 88% of all cases. Soft tissue sarcoma was the most common tumour group with 77 cases (37%). Rhabdomyosarcoma was the most common of them accounting for 88% of the soft tissue sarcomas. The second most common group of tumours was lymphoma 52(25%) cases: out of which Burkitt’s lymphoma accounted for 64%, non Burkitts non Hodkins lymphomas 31% while Hodgkins Lymphoma had 6%. Retinoblastoma and nephroblastoma occurred among the very young children while STS and lymphomas predominated in the older children.
Conclusion: There is a change in the histopathological pattern of childhood solid malignancies in our environment. Sarcomas are diagnosed more often, a departure from the past where lymphomas were commoner. However Burkitt’s lymphoma is still an important and common childhood cancer.

ObjectiveTo compare outcomes of 2 gout clinics that implemented different treatment strategies.MethodsPatients newly diagnosed with gout and a follow‐up of 9–15 months were included. Co‐primary outcomes were the proportion of patients reaching a serum uric acid (UA) ≤0.36 mmoles/liter and free of flares. Secondary outcomes were the proportion of patients requiring treatment intensification and experiencing adverse events. One clinic adopted a strict serum UA (≤0.30 mmoles/liter target) strategy, with early addition of a uricosuric to allopurinol, and the other clinic adopted a patient‐centered (PC) strategy emphasizing a shared decision based on serum UA and patient satisfaction with gout control. Independent t‐tests or chi‐square tests were used to test differences in outcomes, and logistic regressions were used to adjust the effect of the treatment center on outcomes for confounders.ResultsIn total, 126 and 86 patients had a follow‐up mean ± SD of 11.3 ± 1.8 versus 11.1 ± 1.9 months. In the UA strategy, 105 of 126 patients (83%) compared to 63 of 86 (74%) in the PC strategy (P = 0.10) reached the threshold of ≤0.36 mmoles/liter; and 58 of 126 (46%) versus 31 of 86 (36%) were free of flares (P = 0.15). In the UA strategy, 76 of 126 patients (60%) were on allopurinol monotherapy compared to 63 of 86 (73%) in the PC strategy (P = 0.05), yet the number of adverse events was not different (n = 25 [20%] versus n = 20 [23%]; P = 0.55). Adjusting for confounders did not substantially change these associations.ConclusionA strict UA strategy resulted in a nonsignificantly higher proportion of patients reaching a serum UA ≤0.36 mmoles/liter and being free of flares. This result was accomplished with significantly more therapy intensification. The small sample size plays a role in the significance of results.

ObjectiveMethotrexate (MTX) increases the risk of alopecia and stomatitis, but the prevalence of these adverse events among rheumatic patients taking MTX is poorly defined. We conducted a systematic literature review and meta‐analysis to estimate the prevalence of alopecia and stomatitis with MTX in rheumatic diseases.MethodsWe searched PubMed, The Cochrane Library, and CINAHL databases for double‐blind randomized controlled trials (RCTs) with an MTX monotherapy arm. Alopecia, stomatitis, and oral/mouth ulcers data were extracted. The quality of trials was assessed by 2 authors. We included trials published since 1990 that used at least 10 mg of MTX weekly, coadministered with folic or folinic acid. We estimated the prevalence using random‐effects models because heterogeneity was anticipated. Two estimates of prevalence were included; the lower bound estimate included all trials (assuming no alopecia and stomatitis if not mentioned), and the upper bound estimate included only those that specifically described prevalence estimates of alopecia or stomatitis.ResultsOf 3,954 studies identified, 20 RCTs were included, with a total of 24 MTX monotherapy arms, of which 10 reported the prevalence of alopecia (n = 1,113), and 21 reported stomatitis or mouth/oral ulcers (n = 2,056). The prevalence of alopecia was between 1.0% and 4.9%. The prevalence of stomatitis was between 5.7% and 8.0%.ConclusionThis meta‐analysis gives more precise estimates of mucocutaneous adverse events that occur in rheumatic disease patients taking MTX. These estimates will help inform patient decision‐making regarding MTX.

Published: May 2019

AbstractTwo‐dimensional (2D) ternary compounds (2DTCs) have attracted intensive attention due to the new degree of freedom of modulating physical and chemical properties. However, the controllable synthesis of 2DTCs still remains a great challenge impeding further research and applications. Here, for the first time, ultrathin (≈7.4 nm) ε‐CaTe2O5 flakes with high anisotropy are obtained by a chemical vapor deposition method using soda‐lime glass as the capture substrate. The molten glass adsorbs Te vapor in the gas flow to its surface, which reacts with CaO in the molten substrate leading to the precipitation of ε‐CaTe2O5. Interestingly, ε‐CaTe2O5 flakes display highly anisotropic band structures and optical properties. Furthermore, low‐temperature electrical measurements show that the metal–semiconductor/insulator transition of ε‐CaTe2O5 is exhibited at about 130 K, and optical phonon assisted hopping of small polarons becomes dominant within the temperature range of 130–300 K. Employing soda‐lime glass as the capture substrate may provide a new approach for the synthesis of 2DTCs.

AbstractTracing the dynamic process of Li‐ion transport at the atomic scale has long been attempted in solid state ionics and is essential for battery material engineering. Approaches via phase change, strain, and valence states of redox species have been developed to circumvent the technical challenge of direct imaging Li; however, all are limited by poor spatial resolution and weak correlation with state‐of‐charge (SOC). An ion‐exchange approach is adopted by sodiating the delithiated cathode and probing Na distribution to trace the Li deintercalation, which enables the visualization of heterogeneous Li‐ion diffusion down to the atomic level. In a model LiNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 cathode, dislocation‐mediated ion diffusion is kinetically favorable at low SOC and planar diffusion along (003) layers dominates at high SOC. These processes work synergistically to determine the overall ion‐diffusion dynamics. The heterogeneous nature of ion diffusion in battery materials is unveiled and the role of defect engineering in tailoring ion‐transport kinetics is stressed.

Published: May 2019

AbstractSemiconductor photocatalysis is recognized as a promising strategy to simultaneously address energy needs and environmental pollution. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) has been investigated for such applications due to its low cost, nontoxicity, and high chemical stability. However, pristine TiO2 still suffers from low utilization of visible light and high photogenerated‐charge‐carrier recombination rate. Recently, TiO2 photocatalysts modified by dual cocatalysts with different functions have attracted much attention due to the extended light absorption, enhanced reactant adsorption, and promoted charge‐carrier‐separation efficiency granted by various cocatalysts. Recent progress on the component and structural design of dual cocatalysts in TiO2 photocatalysts is summarized. Depending on their components, dual cocatalysts decorated on TiO2 photocatalysts can be divided into the following categories: bimetallic cocatalysts, metal–metal oxide/sulfide cocatalysts, metal–graphene cocatalysts, and metal oxide/sulfide–graphene cocatalysts. Depending on their architecture, they can be categorized into randomly deposited binary cocatalysts, facet‐dependent selective‐deposition binary cocatalysts, and core–shell structural binary cocatalysts. Concluding perspectives on the challenges and opportunities for the further exploration of dual cocatalyst–modified TiO2 photocatalysts are presented.

AbstractMemristive devices have been extensively demonstrated for applications in nonvolatile memory, computer logic, and biological synapses. Precise control of the conducting paths associated with the resistance switching in memristive devices is critical for optimizing their performances including ON/OFF ratios. Here, gate tunability and multidirectional switching can be implemented in memristors for modulating the conducting paths using hexagonal α‐In2Se3, a semiconducting van der Waals ferroelectric material. The planar memristor based on in‐plane (IP) polarization of α‐In2Se3 exhibits a pronounced switchable photocurrent, as well as gate tunability of the channel conductance, ferroelectric polarization, and resistance‐switching ratio. The integration of vertical α‐In2Se3 memristors based on out‐of‐plane (OOP) polarization is demonstrated with a device density of 7.1 × 109 in.−2 and a resistance‐switching ratio of well over 103. A multidirectionally operated α‐In2Se3 memristor is also proposed, enabling the control of the OOP (or IP) resistance state directly by an IP (or OOP) programming pulse, which has not been achieved in other reported memristors. The remarkable behavior and diverse functionalities of these ferroelectric α‐In2Se3 memristors suggest opportunities for future logic circuits and complex neuromorphic computing.
Dispersion of Third‐Harmonic Generation in Organic Cavity Polaritons

Published: May 2019

AbstractOrganic cavity polaritons are bosonic quasiparticles arising from the strong interaction between organic molecular excitons and photons within microcavities. The spectral dispersion of third‐harmonic generation near resonance with cavity polaritons is studied experimentally via angle‐resolved reflected third‐harmonic generation measurements with several pump wavelengths. Moreover, a three‐step nonlinear optical transfer matrix model is used to simulate the third‐harmonic generation using the sum‐over‐states dispersive nonlinear coefficients, which include polariton states. The angle‐dependent experiment and modeling agree, revealing the output of third‐harmonic generation is resonantly enhanced when third‐harmonic wavelengths are near upper polaritons. Lower‐polariton‐enhanced third‐harmonic generation is not experimentally observed due to inadequate coupling at the longer wavelength, which is also consistent with the nonlinear transfer matrix modeling. These results indicate that the sum‐over‐states nonlinear dispersion is descriptive of the nonlinear optical process so that the polariton states belong to a complete set of states for a perturbative determination of the nonlinear optical response. From these results, it might be expected that such a basis for perturbation theory would be widely applicable for nonlinear optical processes in the strong and ultrastrong limits. The results also indicate the possibility of wavelength agile nonlinear optical response by angle‐of‐incidence tuning.
Bispecific Antibody Therapy for Effective Cardiac Repair through Redirection of Endogenous Stem Cells

Published: May 2019

AbstractBone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) are a promising strategy for cardiac regenerative therapy for myocardial infarction (MI). However, cell transplantation has to overcome a number of hurdles, such as cell quality control, clinical practicality, low cell retention/engraftment, and immune reactions when allogeneic cells are used. Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) have been developed as potential agents in cancer immunotherapy but their application is sparse in cardiovascular diseases. In the present study, BsAbs are designed by chemical cycloaddition of F(ab′)2 fragments from monoclonal anti‐CD34 and anti‐ cardiac myosin heavy chain (CMHC) antibodies, which specifically targets circulating CD34‐positive cells and injured cardiomyocytes simultaneously. It is hypothesized that intravenous administration of stem cell re‐directing (SCRD) BsAbs (anti‐CD34‐F(ab′)2–anti‐CMHC‐F(ab′)2) can home endogenous BMSCs to the injured heart for cardiac repair. The in vivo studies in a mouse model with heart ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury demonstrate the safety and therapeutic potency of SCRD BsAb, which supports cardiac recovery by reducing scarring, promoting angiomyogenesis, and boosting cardiac function.
