Diabetes and the Severity of Pandemic Influenza A (H1N1) Infection
Authors: Allard Robert , Leclerc Pascale , Tremblay Claude , Tannenbaum Terry-Nan 
Published: June 2010

OBJECTIVE
To confirm the existence of an increased risk of complications from influenza A (H1N1)p among patients with diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Using data from an enhanced influenza surveillance project in Montreal, Canada, and age/sex-specific population estimates of diabetes prevalence, we estimated the risk of hospitalization among persons with diabetes. Comparing hospitalized patients admitted or not to an intensive care unit (ICU), we estimated the risk of ICU admission associated with diabetes, controlling for other patient characteristics.

RESULTS
Among 239 hospitalized patients with PCR-confirmed influenza A (H1N1)p, 162 (68%) were interviewed, of whom 22 had diabetes, when 7.1 were expected (prevalence ratio 3.10 [95% CI 2.04–4.71]). The odds ratio for ICU admission was 4.29 (95% CI 1.29–14.3) among hospitalized patients with diabetes compared to those without.

CONCLUSIONS
Diabetes triples the risk of hospitalization after influenza A (H1N1)p and quadruples the risk of ICU admission once hospitalized.

Published: June 2010

OBJECTIVE
To examine the effects of acute insulin-induced hypoglycemia on inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and platelet activation in adults with and without type 1 diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
We studied 16 nondiabetic adults and 16 subjects with type 1 diabetes during euglycemia (blood glucose 4.5 mmol/l) and hypoglycemia (blood glucose 2.5 mmol/l). Markers of inflammation, thrombosis, and endothelial dysfunction (soluble P-selectin, interleukin-6, von Willebrand factor [vWF], tissue plasminogen activator [tPA], high-sensitivity C-reactive protein [hsCRP], and soluble CD40 ligand [sCD40L]) were measured; platelet-monocyte aggregation and CD40 expression on monocytes were determined using flow cytometry.

RESULTS
In nondiabetic participants, platelet activation occurred after hypoglycemia, with increments in platelet-monocyte aggregation and P-selectin (P ≤ 0.02). Inflammation was triggered with CD40 expression increasing maximally at 24 h (3.13 ± 2.3% vs. 2.06 ± 1.0%) after hypoglycemia (P = 0.009). Both sCD40L and hsCRP (P = 0.02) increased with a nonsignificant rise in vWF and tPA, indicating a possible endothelial effect. A reduction in sCD40L, tPA, and P-selectin occurred during euglycemia (P = 0.03, P ≤ 0.006, and P = 0.006, respectively). In type 1 diabetes, both CD40 expression (5.54 ± 4.4% vs. 3.65 ± 1.8%; P = 0.006) and plasma sCD40L concentrations increased during hypoglycemia (peak 3.41 ± 3.2 vs. 2.85 ± 2.8 ng/ml; P = 0.03). Platelet-monocyte aggregation also increased significantly at 24 h after hypoglycemia (P = 0.03). A decline in vWF and P-selectin occurred during euglycemia (P ≤ 0.04).

CONCLUSIONS
Acute hypoglycemia may provoke upregulation and release of vasoactive substances in adults with and without type 1 diabetes. This may be a putative mechanism for hypoglycemia-induced vascular injury.
Choriocarcinoma cell line Response to Dexamethasone

Published: June 2010

Choriocarcinoma cell line Response to DexamethasoneChoriocarcinoma cell lines JAr and JEG-3 are model systems for the study of transformed trophoblast. Both cell lines were shown to produce galectin-1, expression of which was increased in choriocarcinoma when compared to the normal trophoblast of pregnancy. In this study the effects of synthetic glucocorticoid dexametha-sone were investigated in both JAr and JEG-3 cell lines by the MTT test, cell based ELISA, and the cell adhesion and migration tests. Viable cell number/cell proliferation of JAr cells was significantly increased after treatment with 0.1 and 1 nmol/L of dexamethasone, while proliferation of JEG-3 cells was significantly increased after treatment in the whole concentration range of dexamethasone (0.1-100 nmol/L). Galectin-1 in JAr cells was modulated by dexamethasone, which mildly, but significantly decreased production at low concentrations (0.1 and 1 nmol/L). In JEG-3 cells production of galectin-1 was significantly decreased only after treatment with 100 nmol/L of dexamethasone. Cell adhesion of JEG-3 was significantly increased in the presence of lactose, an inhibitory sugar for gal-1, while dexamethasone induced decrease of JEG-3 cell migration. These findings have shown that dexamet-hasone may affect proliferation, gal-1 production and cell migration, in a cell line specific manner. These data suggest that glucocorticoid treatmentin vivomight have the potential to affect cell functions in choriocarcinoma.
Les monnaies gauloises de Jouars-Pontchartrain / The gallic coins of Jouars-Pontchartrain
Authors: Fischer Brigitte 
Published: July 2010

Emergency excavations conducted in the territory of Diodurum, carnute vicus, led to the discovery
of 1,437 coins, among which there were 112 Gallic coins. They were issued by various tribes: a quarter stater from the south of Belgic Gaul, a coriosolite copper/nickel stater, four silver coins and numerous struck and cast bronzes of which 24 coins cannot be identified. The Senones come first with 52 coins and the Carnutes are second with thirteen coins. The rest was minted by various tribes mostly located in the north of Celtic Gaul. These finds reinforce the hypothesis of a double origin of the cast bronze, type LTXXX, 7417: there were probably made by the Senones as well as by a tribe located in the Basse-Seine area. Two new coins were found on the site: their obverse is copied on coins issued by the Bituriges and their reverse takes after coins minted by the Aulerci Eburovices.
Essai de caractérisation de la période d'activité du centre de production des Queyriaux (Puy-de-Dôme) à partir de la sigillée moulée / The new terra sigillata workshops of "Les Queyriaux" (Puy-de-Dôme) : determination of activity period whith moulded bowls
Authors: Delage Richard 
Published: July 2010

Workshops known from pottery as a result of prospecting remain difficult to characterize. Such is
the case, particularly, of terra sigillata workshops. Only the confrontation of study criteria of the terra sigillata collected, in particular decorated bowls, makes it possible to obtain reliable and coherent results. The case of « Les Queyriaux » (workshops of the Central Gaul group) is a good illustration of the problems one meets and the results one can obtain when following a rational approach.
La dynamique des salaires nominaux en France. Etude sectorielle
Authors: Silvestre Jean-Jacques 
Published: July 2010

This paper is dealing with the dynamics of nominal wages in the french industry, for the period 1953-1964. A sectorial analysis of the relation between increases in wages and the rate of unemployment is leading to the distinction of two groups of sectors :
― for a first group of industries (high wages — high degree of concentration — powerful labor-unions), the state of the competition on the labor-market does not look as to influence in the short run the dynamics of wages. On the other hand, increases in wages seem to be strongly influenced by the evolution of the situation of the product market (price, production, productivity) ;
― for a second group of industries (low wages — low degree of concentration — weak labor-unions), increases in wages are hightly correlated with the state of the competition on the labor-market.
Such a duality in sectorial behaviors is suggesting more complete analysis of the relations between employment level, increases in average wage and cyclical changes of wage discrepancies.
L'histoire appliquée ou les historiens thaumaturges
Authors: Rousso Henry 
Published: July 2010

Applied history, or the thaumaturgic historians, Henry Rousso.
In recent years, the social demand for history has been growing. Many historians are doing commissioned work on contract with the government, administrative agencies or private companies. In the USA, Public History is looking for a new definition of the " historian ", in the context of unemployment in the universities. In Europe, and especially in France, where the first transplantations of the American " model " can be seen, the social sciences are attempting to find a new balance between fundamental and applied research. History is thus taking the place of other disciplines, such as economies or sociology. This presents risks for the future of the profession. There is an epistemological debate on the object of historical research.
Les accords Blum-Byrnes. La modernisation de la France et la guerre froide
Authors: Wall Irwin M. 
Published: July 2010

The Blum-Byrnes agreements, France's modernization and the Cold War, Irwin M. Wall.
The financial agreements signed on 1946 May 28 between France and the United States are sometimes viewed as a step in the « alienation » of national independence, a premise to the Cold War. American archives allow that interpretation to be changed. Far from being a one-way negotiation, the Blum-Byrnes agreements reflected the context of 1946. On the French side, economic modernization was the main concern, along with strategic considerations. For the Americans, financial aid was part of a policy applied to other countries, including the USSR, previously to the Marshall plan. Disappointing for both sides, the agreements were in no way an episod of American interference in French affairs.
Les années françaises de Deng Xiaoping
Authors: Barman Geneviève , Dulioust Nicole 
Published: July 2010

Deng Xiaoping's French years, Geneviève Barman, Nicole Dulioust.
Between 1920 and 1925, Deng Xiaoping lived in France for nearly five years. He had corne to study but had to work in a factory. He discovered the Chinese communist movement and little by little became one of its main leaders in France. These French years, heretofore imperfectly known, were thus decisive in the itinerary of this young bourgeois — barely more than a teenager. Through a careful and detailed study, the authors retrace their hazards and main lines within the framework of a more general study of the Chinese worker-student milieu in France.
La clef générationnelle
Authors: Azéma Jean-Pierre 
Published: July 2010

The generational key, Jean-Pierre Azéma.
This introductory article to a special issue argues that the notion of " generation " provides an approach that is almost always fruitful — and a basic explanatory key — to contemporary history. In this new approach, inspired by Max Weber and Marc Bloch, micro-analysis and the impact of an event, the basic element of the generational effect, are favored.
La gauche, la droite et le fait colonial en France. Des années 1880 aux années 1960
Authors: Marseille Jacques 
Published: July 2010

The left, the fight and colonial issues in France, from the 1880s to the 1960s, Jacques Marseille.
Left/right : applied to the colonial question, have the divisions of French political remained relevant ? A study of three decisive debates makes it possible to challenge the simplistic cliches : the early century discussion concerning the relations between the colonized and the metropolitan French ; that of the 1930s on the need to industrialize the colonies, and finally the debate of the 1950s on the economic cost of colonial domination for the « mother-country ». The analysis reveals the paradoxes of conflicts more complex than they appear. Part of the left, conscious of its civilizing and emancipating mission, opposed part of the right which, in the name of economic pragmatism, defended theses likely, in retrospect, to seem perhaps more in conformity with the interests of the colonized peoples.
Supporters et hooligans en Grande-Bretagne depuis 1871
Authors: Mignon Patrick 
Published: July 2010

Fans and hooligans in Great Britain since 1871, Patrick Mignon.
English soccer fans come mainly from the working class, which explains their sociological specificities. The hooligans, in particular, demonstrate the survival of the early urban worker violence faced with the upward mobility of the lower classes. The confrontations are not spontaneous. They resuit from a logic of conquest of the other's turf (the " ends ") and unfold like genuine premeditated battles. Regional, ethnie or religious particularities meet in an autonomous struggle parallel to the one taking place on the field.

" Contemporary problems " and " men of action " in the creation of the Annales. Correspondance between Lucien Febvre and Albert Thomas (1928-1930), Bertrand Müller.
This correspondence between one of the fathers of the Annales and the first director of the International Labor Bureau, former students of the Ecole normale supérieure, shows how careful the young journal was to recruit investigators interested in contemporary history and recalls that it also intended to provide historical argumentation to men of action and decision-makers.
À la poursuite de l'histoire en Roumanie depuis 1989
Authors: Durandin Catherine 
Published: July 2010

Searching for history in Romania since 1989, Catherine Durandin.
Wast Romanian-style communism a mere glaciation of history ? Does the post-1989 return of the past prepare for pluralist democracy ? There is in Romania a mixture of fever and grief which does not allow simple answers to these questions. National-communist history remains present in that country where " Romanity " was presented as the model of socialism, where collective identity shies away from choosing between yesterday and the day before, where patriotic democrats still oppose national conservatives.
Prélude à un syndicalisme bourgeois. L'association de défense des classes moyennes (1907-1939)
Authors: Le Béguec Gilles 
Published: July 2010

A prelude to bourgeois unionism. The Association for the defense of the middle classes (1907-1939), Gilles Le Béguec.
This association, founded in Belgium in 1908 and which spread to France, was both one of the first unions for the social and professional defense of the middle classes and a parallel political group. It was able, at least until the wake of the First World War, not only to convince higher society to pay attention to the problems of the middle classes, but also to help the middle classes to obtain a clearer view of their distinct interests and to question the place which they had in society and that which they should have.

Civil servants' unionism (1900-1981), Jeanne Siwek-Pouydesseau.
Sociologically and politically, civil service wage earners are a heterogeneous but nevertheless specifie social category. One could even hypothesize that they constitute the archetype of the wage earner of the future. Feminization and growing numbers, among other changes over a century, have not been accompanied by a radical transformation of the types of association and claims of the civil servants.
L'échec du cours antisémite d'Henri Labroue à la Sorbonne (1942-1944)

The failure of Henri Labroue's antisemitic course at the Sorbonne (1942-1944), Claude Singer.
After several fruitless attempts, collaborator circles succeeded in December 1942 in obtaining the creation of a Chair of "History of Judaism" at the Sorbonne. Taught by Henri Labroue, an obscure antisemitic professor ; the course met the open hostility of both students and professors. The inaugural lecture was perturbed by a demonstration of resistant students.
La cinéphilie ou l'invention d'une culture
Authors: Baecque Antoine de , Frémaux Thierry 
Published: July 2010

Cinephilia or the invention of a culture, Antoine de Baecque, Thierry Frémaux.
Cinephilia is a way of watching films, of commenting them and of circulating the discourse. It is also a way of considering the cinema in its context and as an historical topic. The history of cinephilia is thus part of the cultural history touching on the relations between mass and elite culture. When studying cinephilia, one analyzes both a practice as much as social representation. Writing a history of cinephilia means holding together, in one understanding, the film and the life organized around it. It implies anchoring the vision of the film in the diversity of its sources and its context. One lises from the field of the relations between history and the cinema to a genuine history of cinema.
À la recherche dune identité nationale en Alsace (1870-1918)
Authors: Smith Paul 
Published: July 2010

In search of a national identity in Alsace (1870-1918).
If one studies the question of Alsatian national identity between 1870 and 1918, one goes beyond the simple opposition between the French idea of nation and the German conception of Volk. Alsatian identity is the resuit of an on-going social, political and cultural process and not of a spontaneous feeling.
L'expression « camp de concentration » au 20e siècle
Authors: Wieviorka Annette 
Published: July 2010

The expression "concentration camp" in the 20th century, Annette Wieviorka.
One expression, "concentration camp", runs through the century since 1901 with the Boers war. "But it is too erratic to allow different phenomena to be grasped." Because the meaning of this type of camp can cover a desire to put a population temporarily outside the grasp of the enemy as well as decision of exclusion leading to the establishment of a special world. And there has not been one same concentration "system" or "universe" in this century. The historical and comparative study of the camps, this new area opening up to research, can not risk lexical approximation; its intelligence, lucidity and truth are at stake.
1815 en 1945 : les formes littéraires de la défaite
Authors: Simonin Anne 
Published: July 2010

1815-1945: Literary Forms of Defeat, Anne Simonin.
In 1945, the partisans of the Vichy regime and of a collaboration policy with Nazi Germany suffered a radical military and ideological defeat. This situation made writers, compromised in various degrees with the occupier, adopt an original literary strategy. They would mobilize the history of France — in particular the Restoration and 1814 and 1815 - in an attempt to impose a historical interpretation of the present and deny the radical change produced by the events that occurred between 1940 and 1945. If it were possible to compare 1945 and 1815, it would mean that there were no traitors ; that the purge was only a vicissitude of the White Terror ; that today's collaborators are yesterday's outlaws, in other words they are the temporary losers. On the left, Aragon understood, uncovered and fought this historico-literary operation, the base of a culture of bad faith to which some intellectuals on the right chose to attach themselves.
L'ordre des images. Culture visuelle et propagande en Allemagne nazie

L'ordre des images. Culture visuelle et propagande en Allemagne nazie, André Gunthert.
En repartant d'un des tableaux les plus souvent cités par les ouvrages relatifs à l'art nazi, les Werksoldaten de Ferdinand Staeger, dont la source photographique est ici restituée, l'article décrit la sédimentation politique et culturelle que recèlent ces images. Il souligne par là l'historicité essentielle des figures de la propagande, qui ne se réduisent pas à la simple traduction en images des intentions des dirigeants politiques, mais restent les produits d'une initiative individuelle en même temps que les témoins d'une culture collective.

L'emblème et le symbole. Un siècle d'imageries cinématographiques de la porte de Brandebourg, Stéphane Füzesséry.
Les imageries cinématographiques de la Porte de Brandebourg au 20e siècle, par la réitération constante de certains motifs, s'inscrivent de plain-pied dans l'imaginaire collectif. Elles empruntent essentiellement deux formes : certaines images récurrentes (l'arc de triomphe des pouvoirs d'essence militaire, la ruine - témoin du chaos moral et matériel en 1945 -, le symbole partagé du désir d'unité après 1961) ne sont que de simples retranscriptions cinématogra-

Published: July 2010

Objective.Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of systemic sclerosis (SSc). Our objective was to determine whether SSc is associated with altered redox homeostasis in human saliva.Methods.Study participants were 70 women with SSc and 120 female controls. 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), 8-epi-prostaglandin F 2α (8-epi-PGF2α), and total protein carbonyls were assayed by ELISA to quantify oxidative damage to nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins, respectively, in whole nonstimulated saliva.Results.We observed a significantly positive association between salivary log protein carbonyls and SSc in a crude statistic (OR 9.06, p < 0.0001), and multivariable model adjusted for log 8-OHdG, log 8-epi-PGF2α, and antioxidant exposure (OR 9.26, p < 0.0001). No significant association was noted between SSc and salivary log 8-epi-PGF2α or log 8-OHdG.Conclusion.Salivary redox homeostasis is perturbed in patients with SSc and may inform on the pathophysiology and presence of the disease (biomarkers) and efficacy of therapeutic interventions.

Objective.To characterize the neural circuitry involved in depression associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), we used single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) to study regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) in patients with SLE.Methods.SPECT with 99mTc-ethylcysteinate dimer was performed in 30 depressed women patients with SLE, in 14 women patients with SLE and without history of neuropsychiatric disorders, and in 25 healthy women controls. Magnetic resonance imaging was done for all subjects for diagnostic purposes. Analysis of CBF patterns was performed using statistical parametric mapping. Statistical significance was taken at uncorrected p < 0.001 at cluster level.Results.There were no significant differences between depressed and nondepressed patients with SLE for any rheumatologic variable. In comparison to healthy controls, depressed patients with SLE had significantly reduced CBF in bilateral frontal and temporal cortex; global maximum was located in the left precentral gyrus. There were no significant CBF differences between nondepressed patients with SLE and controls. Compared to nondepressed patients with SLE, depressed patients with SLE had significantly lower CBF in 2 clusters that had their local maxima in the right precentral gyrus and in the left superior temporal gyrus. The duration of SLE correlated with decreased perfusion in the left middle and superior frontal gyrus.Conclusion.Depressed patients with SLE have CBF reductions in discrete temporal and frontal regions that may account for depressive symptoms.
