Published: July 2013

Purpose. Examine effects of exposure to two types of cessation advertisements on changes in cessation-related outcomes. Design. Experimental data from a nationally representative, longitudinal sample of smokers, collected in three waves over 4 weeks. Setting. National. Subjects. Three thousand and two adult U.S. smokers aged 18+ completed baseline and follow-up interviews at 2 and 4 weeks, from December 2010 to February 2011. Intervention. Six randomly assigned conditions consisting of repeated exposure to cessation advertisements: why-to-quit advertisements featuring emotional, personal testimonies (1: WTQ-T) or graphic images (2: WTQ-G); how-to-quit advertisements (3: HTQ), a combination of both (4: WTQ-T + HTQ; 5: WTQ-G + HTQ), and no-ad condition (6: control). Measures. Cessation-related beliefs, attitudes, intentions, and quitting behavior. Analysis. Multivariable ordinary least squares and logistic regressions testing whether exposure to antitobacco television advertisements were associated with changes in tobacco-related outcomes. Results. Exposure to WTQ-T or WTQ-G advertisements, both alone and combined with HTQ advertisements, elicited positive change in beliefs, attitudes, and intentions as compared to controls. Smokers in three of four WTQ conditions were substantially more likely to have quit smoking at 4 weeks than controls (odds ratios range from 5.9 to 10.1, p < .05 or better). No effects were found for the HTQ-only condition. Conclusion. Exposure to WTQ advertisements markedly increases the odds that a smoker will quit in the study period, suggesting positive movement toward successful, long-term cessation. HTQ advertisements did not enhance advertising effectiveness and may not be suitable as a primary message strategy.

Objective. The purpose of this paper was to explore the effect of recess interventions on children's physical activity (PA) levels and to examine which specific interventions/characteristics have more influence on children's PA Data Source. Academic Search Premier, CINAHL, ERIC, MEDLINE, ProQuest, SPORT Discus Study Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria. Papers published between 1986 and 2012, published in the English language, and evaluating any recess intervention with PA as an outcome Data Extraction. Study outcomes were distilled into seven domains related to PA: age, gender, intervention type, intervention duration, duration of PA per intervention session, outcome measures, and study region Data Synthesis. Effect sizes were pooled within and across studies for each domain separately. Moderator analyses were performed using gender, age, and total length of intervention. Twenty-three independent samples were provided from 13 studies. Results. The estimated overall effect size for time in PA was 56 (SE .07), suggesting a positive and significant mean difference between pretest and posttest PA time after implementing a recess intervention. Differences in PA levels were moderated by age, duration and type of intervention, and type of outcome measures. Conclusion. The limited evidence suggests recess interventions can improve youth PA levels. Implications reinforce the importance of schools in advocating for recess during the school day. Strategies shown to increase student PA during recess should be implemented.

Published: July 2013

Objective This study examines the lipid profile change produced in response to tamoxifen (TAM) treatment, and its possible relationship with both apolipoprotein E genotype and menopausal state in patients with breast cancer. Methods: Blood samples were collected from 86 Spanish women with breast cancer before initiating TAM treatment and in the following 6, 12 and 18 months of treatment. Plasma lipid levels (total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol) were determined using an automatic analyzer. Genotypes for apolipoprotein E (ApoE) were identified by PCR-RFLP using the HhaI enzyme. Results In all patients, significant reductions in total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol concentrations and a significant increase in triglyceride concentrations were observed after 6, 12, and 18 months of TAM treatment compared to baseline (p<0.01 for each time point). In the subset of APOE4-negative patients, triglyceride concentrations also significantly increased after 6, 12, and 18 months of treatment (p=0.019, p=0.045, p=0.001, respectively), while APOE4-positive patients showed no significant lipid changes at 12 and 18 months. However, after 18 months of TAM treatment the overall triglyceride concentrations had risen by 24.75% in APOE4-negative patients vs 29.9% in APOE4-positive patients. In postmenopausal women, significant reductions in total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and LDL/HDL ratios were observed at each time point (p<0.020 for each). Conclusions TAM treatment induced similar plasma triglyceride increases in patients with positive or negative APOE genotype. Compared to premenopausal patients, postmenopausal breast cancer patients showed a more beneficial lipid profile change in response to treatment.
The Clinical Usefulness of Ultrasound-Aided Fixation Using an Absorbable Plate System in Patients with Zygomatico-Maxillary Fracture
Authors: Lee Jong Hun , Park Jun Hyung 
Published: July 2013

Background Ultrasound-aided fixation is a recently developed alternative method of treatment of zygomatico-maxillary (ZM) fracture, and it can resolve the problems of excessive torsion force and subsequent fractures of screws. We conducted this study to evaluate the clinical usefulness of ultrasound-aided fixation as compared with the conventional fixation method using a drill and an expander in patients with ZM fracture.
Methods We conducted a retrospective study in 35 patients with ZM fracture who had been treated at our hospital during a period ranging from March of 2008 to December of 2010. We divided them into two groups: an ultrasound-aided fixation group, comprising 13 patients who underwent ultrasound-aided fixation (SonicWeld Rx, KLS Martin), and a conventional group, comprising 22 patients who underwent conventional fixation (Biosorb FX, Linvatec Biomaterials Ltd.). We compared such variables as sex, direction, age at operation, follow-up period, operation duration, number of fixed holes, and time to discharge between the two groups.
Results The ultrasound-aided fixation reduced the operation duration by about 30 minutes as compared with that of conventional fixation. There was no significant difference in follow-up period, number of fixed holes, or time to discharge between the two groups. Furthermore, there were no complications in either group.
Conclusions The ultrasound-aided fixation of fractured ZM bone using an absorbable implant system is safe and effective in promptly reducing the bone fracture and providing satisfactory cosmetic outcomes over time.

Published: July 2013

Background Xanthelasma palpebrarum (XP) is a benign disorder manifesting as yellowish cholesterol-laden plaques on the eyelids. This paper presents the outcomes in patients with XP who have undergone surgical excision as the main modality of treatment.
Methods A retrospective review of patients who received surgery for xanthelasma palpebrarum from March 2007 to March 2011 was conducted. Patients were classified into four grades according to the location and extent of the lesion, with grade I being the mildest and grade IV being the most diffuse. Simple excision was performed in grade I and II lesions, while local flaps and skin grafts were performed in the more advanced grades.
Results Ninety-five cases from March 2007 to March 2011 were included in this study. 66 cases (70%), were treated by simple excision. Twenty-four cases (25%) and 5 cases (5%) were treated by simple excision in combination with or without local flaps and skin grafts. In approximately 1/4 of the patients, orbicularis oris muscle involvement was observed. 4 patients (4.2%) developed scar contracture postoperatively, which required a secondary procedure. Recurrence was reported in 3 patients (3.1%). Otherwise. There were no other reports of major complications or disfigurement.
Conclusions We found that for lesions involving the deep dermis and/or muscle, surgical excision was the most appropriate therapeutic option.
Open Reduction of Proximal Interphalangeal Fracture-Dislocation through a Midlateral Incision Using Absorbable Suture Materials

Published: July 2013

Background Fracture-dislocation of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint is a relatively common injury. Various treatments for fracture-dislocation of the PIP joint have been reported. In the present study, we performed open reduction through a midlateral incision using absorbable sutures to reduce the small bone fragments and performed volar plate repair.
Methods We treated nine patients with fracture-dislocation of the PIP joint with small fractured bone fragments too small for pinning or screw fixation. Patients with volar plate injury were treated with open reduction and volar plate repair at the periosteum of the middle phalangeal bone base by the modified Kessler method using absorbable sutures. All patients were placed in a dorsal aluminum extension block splint, which maintained the PIP joint in approximately 30 degrees of flexion to avoid excessive tension on the sutured volar plate.
Results At a mean final follow-up of postoperative 9 months, all patients were evaluated radiographically and had adequate alignment of the PIP joint and reduction of the displaced bone fragments. Range of motion was improved and there were no complications.
Conclusions This technique is an excellent alternative to the current method of treating patients with fracture-dislocations that include small fragments that are too small for pinning or screw fixation. It is a less invasive surgical method and enables stable reduction and early exercise without noticeable complications.
Platysma Flap with Z-Plasty for Correction of Post-Thyroidectomy Swallowing Deformity
Authors: Jeon Min Kyeong , Kang Seok Joo , Sun Hook 
Published: July 2013

Background Recently, the number of thyroid surgery cases has been increasing; consequently, the number of patients who visit plastic surgery departments with a chief complaint of swallowing deformity has also increased. We performed a scar correction technique on post-thyroidectomy swallowing deformity via platysma flap with Z-plasty and obtained satisfactory aesthetic and functional outcomes.
Methods The authors performed operations upon 18 patients who presented a definitive retraction on the swallowing mechanism as an objective sign of swallowing deformity, or throat or neck discomfort on swallowing mechanism such as sensation of throat traction as a subjective sign after thyoridectomy from January 2009 till June 2012. The scar tissue that adhered to the subcutaneous tissue layer was completely excised. A platysma flap as mobile interference was applied to remove the continuity of the scar adhesion, and additionally, Z-plasty for prevention of midline platysma banding was performed.
Results The follow-up results of the 18 patients indicated that the definitive retraction on the swallowing mechanism was completely removed. Throat or neck discomfort on the swallowing mechanism such as sensation of throat traction also was alleviated in all 18 patients. When preoperative and postoperative Vancouver scar scales were compared to each other, the scale had decreased significantly after surgery (P<0.05).
Conclusions Our simple surgical method involved the formation of a platysma flap with Z-plasty as mobile interference for the correction of post-thyroidectomy swallowing deformity. This method resulted in aesthetically and functionally satisfying outcomes.
Minimal Subdermal Shaving by Means of Sclerotherapy Using Absolute Ethanol: A New Method for the Treatment of Axillary Osmidrosis

Published: July 2013

Background Axillary osmidrosis is characterized by unpleasant odors originating from the axillary apocrine glands, resulting in psychosocial stress. The main treatment modality is apocrine gland removal. Until now, of the various surgical techniques have sometimes caused serious complications. We describe herein the favorable outcomes of a new method for ablating apocrine glands by minimal subdermal shaving using sclerotherapy with absolute ethanol.
Methods A total of 12 patients underwent the procedure. The severity of osmidrosis was evaluated before surgery. Conventional subdermal shaving was performed on one side (control group) and ablation by means of minimal subdermal shaving and absolute ethanol on the other side (study group). Postoperative outcomes were compared between the study and control groups.
Results The length of time to removal of the drain was 1 day shorter in the study group than in the control group. There were no serious complications, such as hematoma or seroma, in either group, but flap margin necrosis and flap desquamation occurred in the control group, and were successfully managed with conservative treatment. Six months after surgery, we and our patients were satisfied with the outcomes.
Conclusions Sclerotherapy using absolute ethanol combined with minimal subdermal shaving may be useful for the treatment of axillary osmidrosis. It can reduce the incidence of seroma and hematoma and allow the skin flap to adhere to its recipient site. It can degrade and ablate the remaining apocrine glands and eliminate causative organisms. Furthermore, since this technique is relatively simple, it takes less time than the conventional method.
Le gender mainstreaming et l’Union européenne : quels effets ?
Authors: Jacquot Sophie 
Published: July 2013

Près de vingt ans après son émergence, et après quinze ans de mise en oeuvre effective au niveau européen, qu’en est-il des effets dugender mainstreaming, cet instrument qui s’attache à identifier l’impact éventuel de l’action publique sur les femmes et les hommes ainsi que sur les rapports de genre ?L’article vise à évaluer les effets de ce nouvel instrument d’action publique sur la politique qui constitue son berceau, c’est-à-dire la politique de promotion de l’égalité entre les femmes et les hommes. Legender mainstreamingn’est ni une simple conséquence ni une cause parmi d’autres du changement de la politique communautaire d’égalité. Il en est certes un révélateur, mais il en est aussi un des leviers principaux. En tant qu’instrument d’action publique, il a des effets propres qui ont conduit à une transformation en profondeur du régime de genre de l’Union européenne.
Favoriser les femmes ou le sexe minoritaire dans les formations professionnelles en Suisse ?
Authors: Rey Séverine , Battistini Mélanie 
Published: July 2013

Les plans d’égalité mis en place dans les hautes écoles spécialisées en Suisse visent désormais à promouvoir une « représentation équitable des sexes » parmi les étudiantes et étudiants. Les résultats de notre recherche sur les personnes qui choisissent une formation professionnelle « atypique » (des femmes dans le domaine de l’ingénierie et des hommes dans celui de la santé) mettent en évidence les différences genrées de leur trajectoire. L’attitude des enseignantes et enseignants, l’identification à des modèles et le positionnement des étudiantes et étudiants eux-mêmes recomposent les groupes de sexe. La transformation des plans d’égalité nous semble dès lors marquée par une certaine candeur, laissant croire qu’il suffit de symétriser les mesures pour arriver à l’égalité entre les sexes.
Les « femmes de l’immigration » et le récit républicain
Authors: Frigoli Gilles , Manier Marion 
Published: July 2013

L’article traite de la manière dont se combinent le genre et l’origine dans les politiques sociales locales destinées aux « femmes de l’immigration » en France. À partir d’observations et d’entretiens, l’analyse montre comment se constitue et se déploie chez les intervenantes et intervenants sociaux un récit républicain sur le port du voile qui tend à faire de l’abandon de la culture d’origine qu’on attribue aux usagères la condition de leur émancipation. Par-delà la diversité des logiques qu’elles mobilisent pour y faire face (l’adhésion nuancée, la différenciation, le retournement du stigmate), celles-ci se rejoignent pour donner la priorité à l’antiracisme plutôt qu’à l’antisexisme dans la constitution d’un « nous » qui favorise en retour l’affirmation d’un récit républicain qui se dit aveugle aux différences ethnicoreligieuses.
L’antiféminisme d’État
Authors: Dupuis-Déri1 Francis 
Published: July 2013

Le « féminisme d’État » est un concept qui désigne l’intégration de féministes et d’enjeux féministes dans l’appareil étatique. Or si le mouvement féministe fait régulièrement face à un contre-mouvement antiféministe, il est possible de se demander s’il n’y a pas un « antiféminisme d’État ». C’est l’objectif premier de l’article, qui se divise en quatre sections : 1) les gouvernements ou les partis antiféministes ; 2) les fonctionnaires antiféministes ; 3) les institutions féministes sous l’influence antiféministe ; 4) l’influence auprès de l’État des mouvements antiféministes. La réflexion porte principalement sur les États occidentaux, et s’inspire de plus d’une vingtaine d’entrevues réalisées auprès de féministes en Belgique et au Québec.
La contestation des politiques de changement d’identité de genre par les militantes et militants trans québécois1
Authors: Enriquez Mickael Chacha 
Published: July 2013

Les politiques de changement de genre sont fortement critiquées par les militants et militantes trans (transsexuels, transgenres, etc.) qui non seulement les dénoncent, mais mettent en place plusieurs stratégies de résistance afin d’améliorer leur accès aux processus de transition. Basé sur une recherche qualitative menée auprès de 12 activistes trans au Québec, cet article rend compte de leur perception des politiques québécoises de changement de genre. Il met en évidence le cadre transphobe et cisnormatif au sein duquel se mettent en place ces politiques, et permet de comprendre dans quelle mesure les stratégies de résistance mises en place s’adaptent à ce cadre ou le contestent.
Sylla d’Étienne Jouy, ou « le lendemain de Waterloo » : régimes tragiques de symbolisation de l’histoire
Authors: Melai Maurizio 
Published: July 2013

À partir d’un cas spécifique, celui de Sylla, pièce d’Étienne Jouy créée en 1821, cet article se propose d’analyser les modalités ou régimes de symbolisation de l’histoire qui permettent à la tragédie de la Restauration de contourner la censure et de transposer au théâtre de l'actualité sociocritique. Sylla constitue un exemple parfait non seulement de « textualisation » du présent collectif, mais aussi de sa « théâtralisation » à travers le recours à l’histoire : tous les moyens d’expression verbaux et non verbaux dont dispose l’art théâtral sont utilisés pour favoriser l’identification entre le personnage de l’histoire antique et Napoléon, dans le but de réhabiliter, de sublimer et de mythifier la figure de l’empereur des Français. Cet article a donc l’objectif de montrer à la fois comment la réalité sociopolitique s’inscrit dans un ouvrage dramatique tel que Sylla et comment à son tour le spectacle théâtral agit sur la société et sur l’imaginaire du public, contribuant à l’élaboration du mythe napoléonien. Le repérage de trois différents régimes tragiques de symbolisation de l’histoire – allusif, emblématique et mythographique – utilisés pour rapprocher l’antiquité de la contemporanéité, vise à inscrire notre analyse dans une démarche sociocritique potentiellement applicable à d’autres pièces théâtrales et à leurs contextes et cotextes spécifiques.
Le théâtre symboliste : de la critique sociale et politique à l’utopie civique et théâtrale
Authors: Pellois Anne 
Published: July 2013

Le théâtre symboliste en France, au tournant des XIXe et XXe siècles, est la plupart du temps considéré comme un théâtre élitiste, peu enclin à prendre en compte la société qui l’entoure et les problématiques liées à l’utilité sociale du théâtre. Or, la représentation du social et la dimension civique du théâtre sont présentes par un double discours critique et projectif : au sein même des oeuvres, dont nous donnerons ici trois exemples, par l’entremise d’une mise en symbole et en allégorie du social, sous le signe de la réparation et de la compensation ; en leurs marges par l’élaboration d’un théâtre utopique, à venir, qui serait replacé au coeur de la cité sous le signe de la contagion ; sur la scène par une mise en questionnement des relations scène/salle.
Variété(s) au cabaret de l’Écluse : de la gravité du spectacle de divertissement
Authors: Wisniewski Marine 
Published: July 2013

Au cabaret de l’Écluse, lieu de sociabilité et de distraction né sur la rive gauche de la Seine à Paris, au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le spectacle discontinu et ses numéros variés, qui affichent une insignifiante légèreté, ne semblent guère s’offrir comme espace de symbolisation du social. Pourtant, la socialité du spectacle de cabaret apparaît dès lors que l’on envisage la configuration même de la représentation, agencement modulable de productions artistiques hétérogènes. C’est aux résonances, qui apparaissent d’une création à l’autre, que revient alors la possibilité de faire advenir un discours social, en relation étroite mais toujours oblique avec les deux grandes crises sociopolitiques des années 1960, la guerre d’Algérie et les révoltes de Mai 1968.
