Two-year Randomized Clinical Trial of Self-etching Adhesives and Selective Enamel Etching
Authors: Pena CE , Rodrigues JA , Ely C , Giannini M , Reis AF 
Published: December 2015

SUMMARY
Objective: The aim of this randomized, controlled prospective clinical trial was to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of restoring noncarious cervical lesions with two self-etching adhesive systems applied with or without selective enamel etching.
Methods: A one-step self-etching adhesive (Xeno V+) and a two-step self-etching system (Clearfil SE Bond) were used. The effectiveness of phosphoric acid selective etching of enamel margins was also evaluated. Fifty-six cavities were restored with each adhesive system and divided into two subgroups (n=28; etch and non-etch). All 112 cavities were restored with the nanohybrid composite Esthet.X HD. The clinical effectiveness of restorations was recorded in terms of retention, marginal integrity, marginal staining, caries recurrence, and postoperative sensitivity after 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months (modified United States Public Health Service).
Results: The Friedman test detected significant differences only after 18 months for marginal staining in the groups Clearfil SE non-etch (p=0.009) and Xeno V+ etch (p=0.004). One restoration was lost during the trial (Xeno V+ etch; p&gt;0.05).
Conclusions: Although an increase in marginal staining was recorded for groups Clearfil SE non-etch and Xeno V+ etch, the clinical effectiveness of restorations was considered acceptable for the single-step and two-step self-etching systems with or without selective enamel etching in this 24-month clinical trial.
Electron Percolation In Copper Infiltrated Carbon
Authors: Krcho Stanislav 
Published: December 2015

Abstract
The work describes the dependence of the electrical conductivity of carbon materials infiltrated with copper in a vacuum-pressure autoclave on copper concentration and on the effective pore radius of the carbon skeleton. In comparison with non-infiltrated material the electrical conductivity of copper infiltrated composite increased almost 500 times. If the composite contained less than 7.2 vol% of Cu, a linear dependence of the electrical conductivity upon cupper content was observed. If infiltrated carbon contained more than 7.2 vol% of Cu, the dependence was nonlinear – the curve could be described by a power formula (x − xc
)
t
. This is a typical formula describing the electron percolation process in regions containing higher Cu fraction than the critical one. The maximum measured electrical conductivity was 396 × 104 Ω−1 m−1 for copper concentration 27.6 vol%. Experiments and analysis of the electrical conductivity showed that electron percolation occurred in carbon materials infiltrated by copper when the copper volume exceeded the critical concentration. The analysis also showed a sharp increase of electrical conductivity in composites with copper concentration higher than the threshold, where the effective radius of carbon skeleton pores decreased to 350 nanometres.

Published: December 2015

Abstract
A system with macrodiversity selection combining (SC) receiver and for microdiversity equal gain combining (EGC) receivers is considered. Received signal is subjected, simultaneously to multipath fading and shadowing, resulting in signal envelope and signal power variation. Closed form expressions for moments of macrodiversity SC receiver output signal envelope are calculated. Numerical expressions are plotted to present the influences of Gamma shadowing severity and Nakagami-m severity on moments of proposed system output signal.

Authors: Shukla Shruti 
Published: December 2015

<p>Proteins for foods, in addition to providing nutrition, should also possess specific functional properties that facilitate processing and serve as the basis of product performance. Soy protein is a major component of the diet of food and is increasingly important in the human diet. Hence, here in the present article, we are focusing a rapid and easy method for quantitative determination of total protein content with multiplex samples in any food products such as soy sauce or other traditional fermented foods. We described a bioassay procedure (Bradford method) for the evaluation of total protein content in foods. This method involves measurement of the protein efficiency ratio under standardized conditions. The experiment will provide researchers a scientific way to determine pretentious quality of variety of foods and/or health supplements.</p><p> </p><p><strong>VIDEO CLIPS</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/xVzg0rq4VxE">Requirement and sample preparation method:</a> 3 min 26 sec</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/6plwYgGGFuE">Assay procedure:</a> 6 min 4 sec</p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/bV2tGWLh4ug">Measurement of absorbance using an ELISA microtiter plate reader:</a>5 min 1 sec</p>
Aux origines du savoir agro-alimentaire : la création de l'Ecole Nationale des Industries Agricoles (Douai, 1893)
Authors: Vigreux Pierre 
Published: December 2015

De oprichting in Douai, in 1893, van een Nationale school voor landbouwindustrie (E.N.I.A.) is een beslissende stap geweest in het bewustwordingsproces van de noodzaak een spéciale studieeenheid op te richen voor de bewerking van landbouwprodukten tot voedingsprodukten, wat men nu de voedingsindustrie noemt.
Het onderwijs van de techniek van de bietsuikerraffinaderij had vroeger al gelijkenissen tussen verschillende deelgebieden aan het licht gebracht. Het wekt dan ook geen verwondering dat het initiatie tot de oprichting van de E.N.I.A. uit de suikerindustrie, meer bepaald van scheikundigen in de suikerindustrie en distillerie kwam.
Het projekt stootte op de fiskale verplichtingen die voorvloeien uit het belang van de belastingeen op suiker en alcohol voor de ontvangsten van de Staat en voorts op een institutionele verplichting die de minister van landbouw ertoe bracht, zij het niet zonder tegenstand, een nieuwe technische vorming op het vlak van de landbouwindustrie op te starten.

Published: December 2015

SummaryIntroduction: This article is part of the Focus Theme of Methods of Information in Medicine on “Methodologies, Models and Algorithms for Patients Rehabilitation”. Objectives: The objective of the proposed approach is to develop a clinical decision support system (DSS) that will help clinicians optimally plan the ACL reconstruction procedure in a patient specific manner. Methods: A full body model is developed in this study with 23 degrees of freedom and 93 muscles. The knee ligaments are modeled as non-linear spring-damper systems and a tibiofemoral contact model was utilized. The parameters of the ligaments were calibrated based on an optimization criterion. Forward dynamics were utilized during simulation for predicting the model’s response to a given set of external forces, posture configuration and physiological parameters. Results: The proposed model is quantified using MRI scans and measurements of the well-known Lachman test, on several patients with a torn ACL. The clinical potential of the proposed framework is demonstrated in the context of flexion-extension, gait and jump actions. The clinician is able to modify and fine tune several parameters such as the number of bundles, insertion position on the tibia or femur and the resting length that correspond to the choices of the surgical procedure and study their effect on the bio-mechanical behavior of the knee. Conclusion: Computational knee models can be used to predict the effect of surgical decisions and to give insight on how different parameters can affect the stability of the knee. Special focus has to be given in proper calibration and experimental validation.

Published: December 2015

Premise of the study:Nuclear microsatellite markers were developed in Rumex bucephalophorus subsp. canariensis (Polygonaceae) to investigate its genetic diversity and structure.Methods and Results:Sixteen polymorphic microsatellite markers were obtained using 454 next‐generation sequencing with di‐, tri‐, and tetranucleotide repeats. The average number of alleles was 5.688 and 3.813 for R. bucephalophorus subsp. canariensis var. canariensis and var. fruticescens, respectively. Slightly higher levels of mean genetic diversity were found in var. canariensis (expected heterozygosity = 0.600) than in var. fruticescens (expected heterozygosity = 0.514). Cross‐amplifications in related taxa within R. bucephalophorus showed good amplification and polymorphic patterns.Conclusions:These 16 novel nuclear microsatellite markers are the first in the genus Rumex and may serve as valuable tools to carry out studies on genetic diversity and structure as well as progeny studies.

Objective.Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the leading causes of pain and disability. Given the constraint in the provision of care, there is a need to develop and assess effectiveness of new treatment models. The objective was to compare satisfaction with and effectiveness of a new integrated multidisciplinary outpatient program with usual care in an outpatient clinic for patients with OA.Methods.Patients with clinical OA referred to a rheumatology outpatient clinic were randomized to a 3.5-h multidisciplinary group-based educational program followed by individual consultations, or to usual care. The primary outcome was satisfaction with the health service evaluated on a numerical rating scale (0 = extremely unsatisfied, 10 = extremely satisfied) after 4 months. Secondary outcomes included health-related quality of life measures.Results.Of 391 patients, 86.4% (n = 338) were women, and mean age was 61.2 (SD 8.0) years. At 4 months, patients who received integrated multidisciplinary care were significantly more satisfied with the health service compared with controls, with a mean difference of −1.05 (95% CI −1.68 to −0.43, p < 0.001). Among secondary outcomes, only self-efficacy with other symptoms scale (10–100) improved significantly in the multidisciplinary group compared with controls at 4 months (3.59, 95% CI 0.69–6.5, p = 0.02). At 12 months, the Australian/Canadian Hand Osteoarthritis Index pain (0–10) and fatigue scores (0–10) were slightly worse in the multidisciplinary group with differences of 0.38 (95% CI 0.06–0.71, p = 0.02) and 0.55 (95% CI 0.02–1.07, p = 0.04), respectively.Conclusion.Patients receiving an integrated multidisciplinary care model were more satisfied with healthcare than those receiving usual care, whereas there were no clinically relevant improvements in health outcomes.

Objective.To compare SMAD3 gene expression between human osteoarthritic and healthy cartilage and to examine whether expression is regulated by the promoter DNA methylation of the gene.Methods.Human cartilage samples were collected from patients undergoing total hip/knee joint replacement surgery due to primary osteoarthritis (OA), and from patients with hip fractures as controls. DNA/RNA was extracted from the cartilage tissues. Real-time quantitative PCR was performed to measure gene expression, and Sequenom EpiTyper was used to assay DNA methylation. Mann-Whitney test was used to compare the methylation and expression levels between OA cases and controls. Spearman rank correlation coefficient was calculated to examine the association between the methylation and gene expression.Results.A total of 58 patients with OA (36 women, 22 men; mean age 64 ± 9 yrs) and 55 controls (43 women, 12 men; mean age 79 ± 10 yrs) were studied. SMAD3 expression was on average 83% higher in OA cartilage than in controls (p = 0.0005). No difference was observed for DNA methylation levels in the SMAD3 promoter region between OA cases and controls. No correlation was found between SMAD3 expression and promoter DNA methylation.Conclusion.Our study demonstrates that SMAD3 is significantly overexpressed in OA. This overexpression cannot be explained by DNA methylation in the promoter region. The results suggest that the transforming growth factor-β/SMAD3 pathway may be overactivated in OA cartilage and has potential in developing targeted therapies for OA.

Published: December 2015

Objective.We aimed to evaluate the involvement of the symphysis pubis in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and to assess the correlations between symphysis pubis changes and clinical findings.Methods.We retrospectively evaluated a total of 222 male patients with AS who underwent pelvic and cervical/lumbar spine radiography at the Hanyang University Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases from August 2004 to February 2014. Radiographs were examined by 2 experienced radiologists, and radiographic damage was scored as follows: 0 (no damage), 1 (subtle irregularity and/or subchondral sclerosis), 2 (erosion), 3 (partial ankylosis), and 4 (total ankylosis). We evaluated the patients’ clinical characteristics and analyzed their correlations with radiographic symphysis pubis changes.Results.The mean patient age was 30.5 ± 8.3 years and mean disease duration was 7.1 ± 4.6 years; 105 patients (47.3%) exhibited radiologic damage in the symphysis pubis. Moreover, 75, 28, 0, and 2 patients had scores of 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. When comparing the normal (score 0) and abnormal (score 1–4) symphysis pubis groups, the latter had a longer symptom duration (10.1 ± 7.0 vs 7.6 ± 5.8 yrs, p = 0.004) and higher modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (mSASSS; 18.6 ± 17.0 vs. 14.3 ± 13.4, p = 0.038). Moreover, a significant correlation was noted between the radiographic symphysis pubis damage score and mSASSS (r2 = 0.147, p = 0.029).Conclusion.Among male patients with AS, 47.3% exhibited symphysis pubis involvement. Moreover, a correlation was observed between the radiographic symphysis pubis and spine changes.

Le programme de recherche Créalu, financé par l’ANR, coordonné par le CRH et réunissant l’IHA, le CRM, le LAHRA, TELEMME et le CERTOP, vient de se clôturer. Un ouvrage, opérant une synthèse intermédiaire des résultats, intitulé Aluminium, du métal de luxe au métal de masse est publié aux Presses Universitaires de la Sorbonne sous la direction de Dominique Barjot et Marco Bertilorenzi. Il propose une approche originale du métal axée sur l’innovation, et cela sous toutes ses formes : technique, sociale, organisationnelle, pour aboutir sur la potentielle émergence d’une nouvelle « civilisation de l’aluminium ». Ces articles peuvent se lire selon plusieurs ordres, et nous ne proposons ici qu’une clef de lecture parmi d’autres.
Du principe de précaution à l’économie du don Relire Matthieu 7,6 en contexte
Authors: Butticaz Simon 
Published: December 2015

Le logion de Mt 7,6 est une crux interpretum bien connue dans le champ du Nouveau Testament. Pourtant, des générations de lecteurs et d’interprètes se sont efforcées d’en clarifier le sens, explorant tour à tour ses dimensions linguistiques, ses caractéristiques formelles ainsi que l’histoire de la tradition dont il hérite. Dans la présente étude, Simon Butticaz * se propose de prolonger cet effort herméneutique, en examinant la stratégie compositionnelle qui a commandé l’insertion de Mt 7,6 dans son contexte, ainsi que sa fonction au sein de cette nouvelle économie discursive. Il rouvre ainsi le dossier de l’énigmatique logion matthéen en analysant son ancrage contextuel au sein du Sermon sur la montagne et en l’éclairant de la notion ricœurienne d’« économie du don ».
Laodicée et la tiédeur sacrilège Plaidoyer contre le scandale de la timidité spirituelle dans l’œuvre de Claude Brousson (1647-1698)
Authors: Bernat Chrystel 
Published: December 2015

Cette étude valorise l’un des volets de la recherche historico-théologique dédiée à l’approche de l’acception huguenote de la ferveur au temps de la Révocation. Elle met en exergue l’analyse consacrée à la dénonciation de la tiédeur. Abordant à partir de la figure de Laodicée – archétype de l’Église corrompue – les procédés de stigmatisation de l’indolence spirituelle, Chrystel Bernat * explore le discours homilétique protestant et les ressorts théologiques de la défense de la fidélité à la foi réformée en butte à la catholicisation forcée. Comment s’élabore la réprobation de la timidité ? Quels enjeux recouvre sa proscription dans le dernier tiers du xvii e siècle ? Quel idéal de fidélité promeut le combat engagé contre la docilité et l’adultère spirituel décriés par Claude Brousson pour débusquer les attitudes déloyales et parjures ? À travers le jeu et l’effet des associations bibliques, cette étude sonde l’interprétation de l’intégrité religieuse du ministre et le dispositif scripturaire qui, à l’heure de la Révocation, accompagne les processus de dramatisation et de criminalisation du compromis confessionnel.
Désert et Refuge : sociohistoire d’une internationale huguenote, Un réseau européen de soutien aux « Églises sous la croix » (1715-1752)
Authors: Duley-Haour Pauline 
Published: December 2015

Ces travaux analysent le réseau de correspondants qui, entre 1715 et 1752, s’est efforcé de soutenir les Églises du Désert. L’étude est centrée sur les membres de cette diaspora qui ont correspondu avec Antoine Court, pasteur actif du Désert et initiateur du séminaire de Lausanne, afin de contribuer à maintenir le protestantisme en France. Le corpus permet d’identifier plusieurs pôles : Genève et la Suisse, les Provinces-Unies, la Grande-Bretagne, la Suède et le Danemark. La riche correspondance des réfugiés, notables pour la plupart, permet d’appréhender la variété des aides apportées aux Églises clandestines de France. L’approche se présente comme une sociohistoire de cette internationale dans la mesure où elle ne s’attache ni à l’histoire religieuse du Désert, ni à celle du Refuge mais bien aux relations qui se nouent entre ces deux groupes, créant une forme de sociabilité épistolaire originale.
Différentes conceptions du cadre en psychanalyse et en psychothérapie
Authors: Abella Adela 
Published: December 2015

L’auteure discute la notion de cadre selon deux axes : cadre versus processus et cadre interne versus cadre externe. Une attention particulière est portée à l’un des éléments faisant partie du cadre interne, l’orientation théorique de l’analyste : elle influence la conception de la cure et oriente en partie son déroulement. Quatre grandes conceptions du cadre sont décrites : freudienne, winnicotienne, post-kleinienne et constructiviste. Elles ont des répercussions, entre autres, sur le rôle accordé à l’association libre, à la neutralité de l’analyste, aux agissements ainsi que sur la place de l’interprétation et le transfert. L’examen de ce que chaque thérapeute amène et imprime sur ses traitements peut lui apporter une lumière supplémentaire capable d’élargir la compréhension de sa pratique.
Chemins du fonctionnement anorexique
Authors: Kac Ohana Nicole 
Published: December 2015

Le fonctionnement psychique des patientes anorexiques adultes, à distance des épisodes aigus est questionné sur sa rigidité et son éventuelle mobilité à l’aide de vignettes cliniques. L’hyperactivité comme levier de commande, mais aussi d’autres solutions : caractérielles, somatiques, font partie de la carapace défensive de ces patientes pouvant même prendre une allure addictive. Le travail analytique, fait de petites quantités, peut repérer des transpositions ou des micro-modifications du fonctionnement psychique à la recherche de chemins de traverse qu’il est parfois possible de prendre, ou d’essayer de prendre, ou même uniquement penser prendre.

Heurs et malheurs du contrôle de gestion en politique – Pour un « nouveau management politique »
Authors: Brunetiere Jean-René 
Published: December 2015

Résumé Le modèle du management par objectifs et du contrôle de gestion a formellement envahi le champ de la mise en œuvre des politiques publiques ; le fait majeur en ce sens demeurant la loi organique relative aux lois de finances (LOLF) du 1 er août 2001. Des analyses convergentes montrent que le système d’objectifs et d’indicateurs nationaux de la LOLF n’atteint pas son objet, tandis que d’autres exercices similaires, dans les domaines de la Sécurité sociale et du développement durable, semblent mieux fonctionner. L’article explique cette situation par la différence fondamentale de nature entre ce qu’on appelle « objectif » en politique et en gestion. Dès lors, il met en évidence la nécessité de reconsidérer les dogmes du « nouveau management public » et de se préoccuper de la construction, par l’ensemble de l’appareil d’État, y compris ses partenaires, de consensus sur le sens de l’action à mener. C’est la condition d’un renforcement de la confiance, de l’initiative et, in fine , de l’efficacité retrouvée dans une société de plus en plus complexe et surinformée.
