The Psalter Benaki 34.3. An unpublished illuminated manuscript from the family 2400
Authors: Cutler Anthony , Weyl Carr Annemarie 
Published: January 2011

REB 34 1976 France p. 281-323+8 pi.
A. Cutler and Annemarie Weyl Carr, The Psalter Benaki 34.3. — The 162 illuminations in this manuscript are shown to be a combination of large-scale miniatures closely related to those of the « Family 2400 » and a much larger group of pictures seemingly invented for the illustration of every psalm. A date of ca. 1180-90 is suggested as is an origin in Cyprus or Jerusalem where Barnabas, the painter and scribe, must have had access to a « motif book » from which he assembled many of his pictures.

Nicole Thierry, Les plus anciennes représentations cappadociennes du costume episcopal byzantin. — Complétant son étude précédente sur les modifications du costume episcopal (REB 24, 1966, p. 308-315), l'auteur revient sur la description de l'omophorion ou étole episcopate. Les représentations anciennes se caractérisent par la simplicité et l'étroitesse de l'écharpe, sa disposition en courbe souple sur la poitrine et la retombée à gauche du pan terminal. En Cappadoce se rencontrent quatre représentations d'évêques qui se rapprochent des représentations primitives : à Saint- Jean de Çavuşin, dans deux églises de Gūllū dere et à Hagios Basilios. L'illustration comprend deux schémas et sept photographies.

D. Stiernon, La Vision d'Isaïe de Nicomédie. — Une tradition hagiographique assez suspecte (BHG 1731, 1734) fait intervenir un saint Isaïe, reclus de Nicomédie, dans le mariage de Théophile et de Théodora (821 ?) et dans le rétablissement des images (842-843). De la vie de ce thaumaturge n'a été transmis, à partir du XIIe siècle, qu'un seul extrait (BHG 2208), relatif à l'efficacité posthume de la liturgie eucharistique, plus précisément de la célébration continue de quarante messes quotidiennes, réplique byzantine du trentain grégorien. Ce curieux document est introduit, édité, traduit et commenté.

N. Oikonomides, The Mosaic Panel of Constantine IX and Zoe in Saint Sophia. — This wellknown mosaic panel of the South Gallery of Saint Sophia was first made in order to commemorate a generous donation to the Church by Romanos III Argyros (1028-1034) and his wife Zoe. When Constantine IX Monomachos (1042-1055), Zoe's third husband, made a new and more important donation to Saint Sophia, the patriarch Michael Keroularios had the heads of the imperial couple and of the central figure of Christ as well as the accompanying inscriptions changed, in order to commemorate the new donation. Certain discrepancies in the preserved mosaic lead the author to the hypothesis that the « new » heads of Zoe and of Christ come from an earlier mosaic of similar dimensions, made before 1028, at a time when Zoe was young.

A. Failler, Chronologie et composition dans l'Histoire de Georges Pachymère. — Dans cet article sont étudiés les procédés de composition qu'utilise l'auteur de l'Histoire et les problèmes de chronologie que soulève son ouvrage. La première partie de l'article, parue dans le tome 38 de la revue (1980, p. 5-103), est consacrée aux livres I-III. La seconde partie couvre la fin du livre III et les trois livres suivants (III, 23 - VI). Les événements rapportés par l'historien dans cette section de son ouvrage se rapportent aux années 1264-1282. La complexité du plan et la fréquence des retours en arrière ou des anticipations empêchent parfois d'aboutir à des solutions définitives et d'établir une chronologie sûre. En de nombreux cas, l'examen des données chronologiques contenues dans l'Histoire et leur confrontation avec les sources parallèles amènent l'auteur à proposer une chronologie nouvelle, fondée avant tout sur la critique interne.

REB 45 1987 France p. 77-138
Catia Galatariotou, Byzantine ktetorika typika : a comparative study. — The writer discusses the definition of the term ktetorikon typikon and presents a list of such documents. She observes that they fall into two broad categories ("aristocratic" and "non aristocratic" respectively), each containing clauses and through them revealing attitudes distinct from the other's. In dealing with the aristocratic typika the writer examines areas such as the motivations behind the foundation of monasteries, the attitudes towards the lay ephoros, administration and the individual monk. In the final section of the study the writer discusses aspects of the non aristocratic typika : their attitudes towards spirituality, the family, the lay world, administration, the hermit, the monk's moral state. The study ends by a brief look at typika as autobiographical documents.

P. Culerrier, Les évêchés suffragants d'Éphèse aux 5e-13e siècles. — Cette étude menée à l'aide des listes conciliaires et synodales, des notices épiscopales et de la documentation littéraire et archéologique montre la vitalité de cet ensemble de près de 40 évêchés. Trois vagues de création de sièges comblant à peu près le vide laissé par les évêchés tombés en déshérence ont pu être distinguées : aux 6e-7e siècles, aux 11e- 12e siècles, après l'établissement de l'empire de Nicée. Ce réseau episcopal, d'une grande stabilité, n'est pas un réseau urbain, car bien des sièges ne sont que des bourgades ou des villages. Cet article se clôt sur le synode de 1230, dernier témoignage de l'importance de l'Église d'Éphèse avant le triomphe de Smyrne et le déclin du christianisme entraîné par la seconde conquête turque.

La majeure partie de cet extrait constitue par ailleurs un emprunt presque littéral à Skylitzès, que le Marcianus reproduit plus fidèlement que le seul manuscrit, aujourd'hui perdu, de l'Histoire de Nicéphore Bryennios. De l'examen des variantes on conclut que le Marcianus fournit, pour l'ensemble du passage, un texte meilleur que celui du manuscrit qui est à la base de l'édition.
Kinematics of stair ascent in healthy dogs
Authors: Millis D. L. , Headrick J. F. , Durant A. M. 
Published: January 2011

Summary
Objective: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the kinematic characteristics of pelvic limb joints in orthopaedically normal dogs during stair ascent.
Design: Prospective study.
Procedure: Eight hound-type dogs were fitted with reflective spheres at palpable landmarks, including the tuber ischium, greater trochanter, cranial dorsal iliac spine, lateral epicondyle of the femur, lateral malleolus, and the base of the fifth metatarsal bone. Each dog was walked up a set of custom made stairs consisting of four steps and then trotted across a level test space. Data were recorded for the right and left pelvic limbs during ascent. Maximum and minimum joint angles and total joint motion were calculated for all joints and evaluated statistically.
Results: Pelvic limb joints had a greater total joint excursion during stair ascent. There was greater extension of the coxofemoral and tibiotarsal joints during ascent, whereas the stifle joint had less extension. Maximum flexion of the stifle and tarsal joints was significantly greater in stair ascent. There was not any significant difference between the right and left limbs.
Conclusions: All joints of the pelvic limb undergo a greater joint motion to ascend stairs.
Treatment of unilateral congenital flexural and torsional limb deformities with circular external skeletal fixation system in two calves
Authors: Ozak A. , Nisbet H. O. , Yardimci C. 
Published: January 2011

Summary
Case description: Two calves with unilateral congenital flexural and torsional limb deformities below the hock joint of the left hindlimb were presented to Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the Ondokuz Mayis University. According to clinical, goniometric and radiological examinations, flexural (130°-40°) and torsional (90°-180°) deformities were diagnosed. Except for the limb deformities, both animals were otherwise completely healthy.
Treatment and outcome: In case 1, hock joint arthrodesis was performed using a circular external skeletal fixation system with four full rings 160 mm in diameter. In case 2, the deformity was corrected by fixation after transverse osteotomy at the level of the proximal metatarsals with four full rings 150 mm in diameter, and arthrodesis of the fetlock joint with three full rings 100 mm in diameter. According to clinical examinations and follow-up telephone interviews performed 15 and 24 weeks after discharge, functional use with slight lameness in case 1 and full functional use in case 2 had been achieved.
Clinical relevance: None of the previously reported cases of flexural deformity had radiographic signs similar to those of the calves in our report, and the deformities were not as severe as those reported here. To our knowledge, this is the first report of treatment of unilateral congenital flexural and torsional deformities in calves with a circular external skeletal fixation system.
Correction of Astigmatism After Cataract Surgery Using the Light Adjustable Lens: A 1-year Follow-up Pilot Study
Authors: Lichtinger Alejandro , Sandstedt Christopher A. , Schwartz Daniel M. , Chayet Arturo S. 
Published: January 2011

PURPOSE:
The management of preoperative and residual astigmatism is critical to obtain optimized uncorrected visual acuity. The aim of this study was to determine whether residual astigmatism could be precisely corrected postoperatively using the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL, Calhoun Vision Inc) and to determine the stability of the adjusted refraction.

METHODS:
Ten eyes of 10 patients with cataract and corneal astigmatism between 1.00 and 2.00 diopters (D) were included. After standard phacoemulsification and implantation of the LAL, adjustment and lock-in procedures were completed. Before adjustment and 2 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year after lock-in, a full ophthalmic examination including uncorrected distance acuity (UDVA) and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), autorefraction, and manifest refraction was performed.

RESULTS:
All surgeries, adjustments, and lock-in procedures were performed with no complications. All eyes achieved ±0.50 D of the targeted cylindrical adjustment. Mean spherical equivalent refraction was 0.03±0.84 D before adjustment and −0.06±0.25 D at final follow-up. The cylinder axis remained the same in 60% of eyes and all eyes were stable within 10° rotation at 12-month follow-up. Seven of 10 eyes achieved UDVA of 20/25 or better whereas all eyes achieved UDVA of 20/32 or better. Corrected distance visual acuity remained stable in all eyes.

CONCLUSIONS:
In this pilot study, the LAL proved to be an efficient, predictable, and stable method of managing astigmatism in cataract patients.
Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin Interferes with Airway Tolerance by Suppressing the Generation of Antigen-Specific Regulatory T Cells
Authors: Lei Liying , Zhang Yanlu , Yao Weiguo , Kaplan Mark H. , Zhou Baohua 
Published: January 2011

Abstract
Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an essential cytokine for the initiation and development of allergic inflammation. In this study, we have investigated the role of TSLP in the breakdown of immune tolerance and generation of inducible regulatory T cells (iTregs). Our results demonstrated that TSLP diverted airway tolerance against OVA to Th2 sensitization and inhibited the generation of OVA-specific iTregs. TSLP exerted a direct inhibitory effect on both human and mouse iTreg development in vitro. Low doses of TSLP were capable of inhibiting iTreg induction without significantly promoting Th2 development, indicating that these two functions of TSLP are separable. Moreover, the TSLP-mediated inhibition of iTreg generation was only partially dependent on IL-4 and Stat6, and was effective when TSLP was present for the first 24 h of T cell activation. These results define a novel role for TSLP in regulating the balance of airway tolerance and allergic inflammation.

Abstract
Th2 cells induce asthma through the secretion of cytokines. Two such cytokines, IL-4 and IL-13, are critical mediators of many features of this disease. They both share a common receptor subunit, IL-4Rα, and signal through the STAT6 pathway. STAT6−/− mice have impaired Th2 differentiation and reduced airway response to allergen. Transferred Th2 cells were not able to elicit eosinophilia in response to OVA in STAT6−/− mice. To clarify the role of STAT6 in allergic airway inflammation, we generated mouse bone marrow (BM) chimeras. We observed little to no eosinophilia in OVA-treated STAT6−/− mice even when STAT6+/+ BM or Th2 cells were provided. However, when Th2 cells were transferred to STAT6×Rag2−/− mice, we observed an eosinophilic response to OVA. Nevertheless, the expression of STAT6 on either BM-derived cells or lung resident cells enhanced the severity of OVA-induced eosinophilia. Moreover, when both the BM donor and recipient lacked lymphocytes, transferred Th2 cells were sufficient to induce the level of eosinophilia comparable with that of wild-type (WT) mice. The expression of STAT6 in BM-derived cells was more critical for the enhanced eosinophilic response. Furthermore, we found a significantly higher number of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T cells (regulatory T cells [Tregs]) in PBS- and OVA-treated STAT6−/− mouse lungs compared with that in WT animals suggesting that STAT6 limits both naturally occurring and Ag-induced Tregs. Tregs obtained from either WT or STAT6−/− mice were equally efficient in suppressing CD4+ T cell proliferation in vitro. Taken together, our studies demonstrate multiple STAT6-dependent and -independent features of allergic inflammation, which may impact treatments targeting STAT6.
Mismatch Repair Proteins MSH2, MLH1, and EXO1 Are Important for Class-Switch Recombination Events Occurring in B Cells That Lack Nonhomologous End Joining
Authors: Eccleston Jennifer , Yan Catherine , Yuan Karen , Alt Frederick W. , Selsing Erik 
Published: January 2011

Abstract
In the absence of core nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) factors, Ab gene class-switch recombination (CSR) uses an alternative end-joining (A-EJ) pathway to recombine switch (S) region DNA breaks. Previous reports showing decreased S-junction microhomologies in MSH2-deficient mice and an exonuclease 1 (EXO1) role in yeast microhomology-mediated end joining suggest that mismatch repair (MMR) proteins might influence A-EJ–mediated CSR. We have directly investigated whether MMR proteins collectively or differentially influence the A-EJ mechanism of CSR by analyzing CSR in mice deficient in both XRCC4 and individual MMR proteins. We find CSR is reduced and that Igh locus chromosome breaks are reduced in the MMR/XRCC4 double-deficient B cells compared with B cells deficient in XRCC4 alone, suggesting MMR proteins function upstream of double-strand break formation to influence CSR efficiency in these cells. Our results show that MLH1, EXO1, and MSH2 are all important for efficient A-EJ–mediated CSR, and we propose that MMR proteins convert DNA nicks and point mutations into dsDNA breaks for both C-NHEJ and A-EJ pathways of CSR. We also find Mlh1-XRCC4− B cells have an increased frequency of direct S junctions, suggesting that MLH1 proteins may have additional functions that influence A-EJ–mediated CSR.
IL-1F5, -F6, -F8, and -F9: A Novel IL-1 Family Signaling System That Is Active in Psoriasis and Promotes Keratinocyte Antimicrobial Peptide Expression

Abstract
IL-1F6, IL-1F8, and IL-1F9 and the IL-1R6(RP2) receptor antagonist IL-1F5 constitute a novel IL-1 signaling system that is poorly characterized in skin. To further characterize these cytokines in healthy and inflamed skin, we studied their expression in healthy control, uninvolved psoriasis, and psoriasis plaque skin using quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. Expression of IL-1F5, -1F6, -1F8, and -1F9 were increased 2 to 3 orders of magnitude in psoriasis plaque versus uninvolved psoriasis skin, which was supported immunohistologically. Moreover, treatment of psoriasis with etanercept led to significantly decreased IL-1F5, -1F6, -1F8, and -1F9 mRNAs, concomitant with clinical improvement. Similarly increased expression of IL-1F5, -1F6, -1F8, and -1F9 was seen in the involved skin of two mouse models of psoriasis. Suggestive of their importance in inflamed epithelia, IL-1α and TNF-α induced IL-1F5, -1F6, -1F8, and -1F9 transcript expression by normal human keratinocytes. Microarray analysis revealed that these cytokines induce the expression of antimicrobial peptides and matrix metalloproteinases by reconstituted human epidermis. In particular, IL-1F8 increased mRNA expression of human β-defensin (HBD)-2, HBD-3, and CAMP and protein secretion of HBD-2 and HBD-3. Collectively, our data suggest important roles for these novel cytokines in inflammatory skin diseases and identify these peptides as potential targets for antipsoriatic therapies.
Comparison of a stepped‐frequency continuous wave and a pulsed GPR system
Authors: Leckebusch Jürg 
Published: January 2011

AbstractA new stepped‐frequency continuous wave (SFCW) ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) system was tested. The GPR uses a special arrangement of different antenna sizes to cover a large frequency bandwidth and to have a very close spacing between the air‐coupled antennae, closer to the Nyquist sampling interval in a cross‐line direction than is normally possible during conventional field recording. The data processing is described but is more complicated than for a pulsed system and very time‐consuming. A new background removal in frequency domain has also been shown to be an alternative. Comparing data from this SFCW and a pulsed system reveals that there is no advantage using frequency domain technology with an air‐coupled antenna. The penetration depth is even significantly reduced, and hence the stepped‐frequency technology provides only reasonable data in about 20% of the cases where good data are recorded with a time domain system using a ground‐coupled antenna, as tested on a wide variety of sites and applications. This can be explained by the bad coupling to the ground and the strong first reflection of the air‐coupled antenna. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
