Marginalia de Chortasménos dans un opuscule logique dû à Prodromènos (Vatican. gr. 1018)

REB 53 1995 France p. 271-277
M. Cacouros, Marginalia de Chortasménos dans un opuscule logique dû à Prodromènos (Vatican, gr. 1018). — Jean Chortasménos (1370-1431) s'est vivement intéressé à la logique aristotélicienne et, en particulier, aux Analytiques. La découverte de notes marginales de sa main dans le Vatican, gr. 1018, f. 1, présente un intérêt particulier. Ce manuscrit de contenu logique date du 15e siècle, à l'exception précisément du f. 1, autographe de Néophytos Prodromènos (milieu 14e s.), qui comprend son commentaire aux Catégories d'Aristote. Les notes de lecture de Chortasménos enrichissent un passage qui se rapporte aux quatre méthodes à suivre dans toute enquête scientifique. Or cet exposé appartient d'habitude à l'exégèse des Seconds Analytiques et non pas à celle des Catégories, ce qui a incité Chortasménos à rapprocher le passage en question des Seconds Analytiques — deux points sur les trois qu'il donne sont en rapport avec cette œuvre d'Aristote ; il avait donc probablement une grande familiarité avec cette exégèse et ces notes confirment l'intérêt qu'il portait aux Analytiques et qu'on a pu mettre en valeur ailleurs.

Elizabeth A. Zachariadou, Noms coumans à Trébizonde. — Parmi les membres de la famille impériale des Grands Comnènes, certains ont deux noms, l'un grec et chrétien, l'autre turc mais non islamique. Le trait commun de ces personnages est leur origine géorgienne. On a remarqué que les noms turcs étaient courants dans le Caucase ; en réalité, ces noms sont plus précisément coumans et sont la conséquence de la présence de nombreux Couinans en Géorgie en particulier.
The Origins of the Cult of Saint George
Authors: Walter Christopher

REB 53 1995 France p. 295-326
Ch. Walter, The Origins of the Cult of Saint George. — In this article, the author does not return to the traditional scholar's thankless task of attempting to discover a «historical» figure beneath an incrustation of legends, although he considers that these legends could be fruitfully studied under the guise of contes populaires. He concentrates rather on the «meta-historical» Saint George, notably as he is presented in the Life of Theodore of Sykeon. To establish the character of the «meta-historical» Saint George, it is not only necessary to take into account the clichés long since currently used for saints and martyrs, but also to delineate the prestigious contemporaries of Saint George : Thecla, Menas, Demetrius, etc., for none of whom was there a regular «set up» of miracula, eulogia, relics, sanctuary, etc. In the case of Saint George, it seems clear that a portrait-type of this exceptionally handsome young man was established earlier than any icon known to exist today. It was devotion to his icon, accompanied by beneficent apparitions, rather than veneration of his relics or fréquentation of his sanctuary, which maintained his cult up to this day.

A. Failler, Ferran d'Aunès gentilhomme catalan. — Ferran d'Aunés était l'un des chefs de la Compagnie catalane qu'Andronic II Palaiologos fit venir à Constantinople à l'automne 1303 pour combattre les Turcs en Asie Mineure. Mis à la tête de la flotte par Roger de Flor, Ferran d'Aunés reçut de l'empereur la dignité d'amiral et fut marié à la fille de Rhaoul Pachys. Promu domestique des scholes au printemps 1305, il mourut dans l'incendie qui embrasa la maison de son beau-père. L'année suivante, alors que la Compagnie catalane quittait le territoire byzantin, son frère se rallia à l'empereur avec sa petite troupe. Une erreur commise par P. Poussines dans son édition de l'Histoire de Georges Pachymérès a brouillé l'identité de Ferran d'Aunés et de son frère.

Béatrice Caseau, Syméon Stylite l'Ancien entre puanteur et parfum. - La puanteur est le plus souvent associée avec le péché dans la littérature chrétienne antique, elle est la conséquence de certaines maladies qui sont perçues comme un châtiment divin. Cependant, quelques saints ont choisi d'éprouver par eux-mêmes la douleur et le rejet liés à la mauvaise odeur dégagée par les plaies infectées. Par cette expérience, ils apprennent à éprouver de la compassion pour l'humanité et la patience dans la souffrance. En cela, ils reprennent le modèle de Job. Les différentes Vies de Syméon stylite l'ancien montrent une variété dans la manière d'évoquer la puanteur du saint, liée plutôt au choix de l'hagiographe qu'à une différence culturelle entre monde latin, monde grec et monde syriaque.

Published: February 2011

Background Better glycemic control has been reported to slow the progression of nephropathy in predialysis diabetic patients. However, the relationship between glycemic control and residual renal function (RRF) in patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) is uncertain. Methods 89 incident diabetic patients on PD were recruited from 5 centers. We measured glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) within 2 months (baseline) after the start of PD and at 6 and 12 months. GFR was calculated as the average of renal creatinine and urea clearances. We analyzed whether mean HbA1c was associated with change in GFR (ΔGFR) over 1 year. Results During the first year of PD, ΔGFR was -1.7 ± 3.4 mL/min/1.73 m2 and was not affected by mean HbA1c. Acute hemodialysis before starting PD and mean arterial diastolic pressure were related to the decline of GFR in a multivariate analysis. Conclusion Glycemic control was not associated with change in RRF in diabetic patients during the first year after starting PD.
Do We Need Core Sets of Fibromyalgia Domains? The Assessment of Fibromyalgia (and Other Rheumatic Disorders) in Clinical Practice

Published: February 2011

Objective.An OMERACT consensus process recommended domains for investigation in fibromyalgia (FM) clinical trials. We used patient data to investigate variable importance in the determination of patient global and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in FM and non-FM patients to determine whether variables were valued differently in FM compared with non-FM states.Methods.We used ACR 2010 diagnostic FM criteria modified for epidemiological and clinical research to identify patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA; N = 5884) with and without FM, and also characterized previously diagnosed patients with FM (N = 808) as to current criteria status. We measured variable importance by multivariable regression, decomposing regression variance by averaging over model orderings. We examined the distributions of key variables in the various disorders, and the distributions as a function of a FM severity index (fibromyalgianess).Results.Out of 9 measures, pain, Health Assessment Questionnaire disability index, and fatigue explained more than 50% of explainable variance (50.49%–56.59%). Explained variance was similar across all disorders and diagnostic groups. In addition, the SF-36 physical component summary score varied across disorders as a function of fibromyalgianess.Conclusion.The main determinants of global severity and HRQOL in FM are pain, function, and fatigue. But these variables are also the main determinants in RA and other rheumatic diseases. The content and impact of FM, whether measured by discrete variables or a fibromyalgianess scale, seems to be independent of diagnosis. These data argue for a common set of variables rather than disease-specific variables. Clinical use is supported and enhanced by simple measures.

Objective.To compare survival of patients with connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD) versus idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and patients with systemic sclerosis-associated ILD (SSc-ILD) versus other CTD-ILD followed at our center.Methods.We used the Stanford ILD database, which contains prospectively collected information on patients with ILD evaluated at our tertiary care center from 2002 to 2009. Survival at last followup from time of ILD diagnosis was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. Prognostic factors for survival in the overall cohort (IPF and CTD-ILD) and in the CTD-ILD group were identified with univariate and multivariate Cox regression models.Results.Of 427 patients with ILD, 148 (35%) had IPF and 76 (18%) had CTD-ILD at the baseline visit. The cumulative incidence of CTD was 4%. After a median followup of 4 years, 67 patients (36.4%) had died and 4 (2.2%) were lost to followup. Patients with IPF (n = 122) and CTD-ILD (n = 62) experienced similar survival rates (5-year survival about 50%). Patients with SSc-ILD (n = 24) experienced better survival than those with other CTD-ILD (n = 38), with 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival rates of 100%, 90%, and 77%, respectively, versus 78%, 42%, and 38% (p = 0.01). The presence of SSc in patients with CTD-ILD decreased the risk of death by > 80% even after correcting for age at ILD diagnosis, sex, and ethnicity (HR = 0.17, 95% CI 0.04–0.83).Conclusion.Survival in patients with SSc-ILD was better than in patients with other CTD-ILD, potentially related to routine screening for and early detection of ILD in patients with SSc at our center.

Objective.The common polymorphism rs4994 [c. T387C, p. Trp64Arg (W64R)] of the lipolysis regulator beta-3-adrenergic receptor (ADRB3) was identified as a marker in the pathogenesis of hyperuricemia. As gout is characterized by elevated serum concentrations of uric acid, we investigated ADRB3 as a potential candidate for gout.Methods.This was a prospective case-control study in a group of 421 male patients with gout and 312 gout-free male controls to genotype the single-nucleotide polymorphism rs4994 of ADRB3 gene.Results.Our results showed that the C allele carrier confers a significantly higher risk for development of gout [chi-square = 4.91, df = 1, p = 0.027, OR 1.95 (adjusted by age, total cholesterol level, and body mass index), 95% CI 1.22–3.13 by dominant mode]. There was significantly higher uric acid level in carriers of the Arg64/Arg64 genotype in controls compared to non-carriers (480.5 mmol/l vs 315.0 mmol/l, respectively).Conclusion.ADRB3 rs4994 polymorphism is a potential candidate for the pathogenesis of gout in a male Chinese population.
Individual Genetic Variations Directly Effect Polarization of Cytokine Responses to Superantigens Associated with Streptococcal Sepsis: Implications for Customized Patient Care
Authors: Nooh Mohammed M. , Nookala Suba , Kansal Rita , Kotb Malak 
Published: February 2011

AbstractHost immunogenetic variations strongly influence the severity of group A streptococcus sepsis by modulating responses to streptococcal superantigens (Strep-SAgs). Although HLA-II–DR15/DQ6 alleles strongly protect against severe sepsis, HLA-II–DR14/DR7/DQ5 alleles significantly increase the risk for toxic shock syndrome. We found that, regardless of individual variations in TCR-Vβ repertoires, the presentation of Strep-SAgs by the protective HLA-II–DR15/DQ6 alleles significantly attenuated proliferative responses to Strep-SAgs, whereas their presentation by the high-risk alleles augmented it. Importantly, HLA-II variations differentially polarized cytokine responses to Strep-SAgs: the presentation of Strep-SAgs by HLA-II–DR15/DQ6 alleles elicited significantly higher ratios of anti-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-10) to proinflammatory cytokines (e.g., IFN-γ) than did their presentation by the high-risk HLA-II alleles. Adding exogenous rIL-10 significantly attenuated responses to Strep-SAgs presented by the high-risk HLA-II alleles but did not completely block the response; instead, it reduced it to a level comparable to that seen when these superantigens were presented by the protective HLA-II alleles. Furthermore, adding neutralizing anti–IL-10 Abs augmented Strep-SAg responses in the presence of protective HLA-II alleles to the same level as (but no higher than) that seen when the superantigens were presented by the high-risk alleles. Our findings provide a molecular basis for the role of HLA-II allelic variations in modulating streptococcal sepsis outcomes and suggest the presence of an internal control mechanism that maintains superantigen responses within a defined range, which helps to eradicate the infection while attenuating pathological inflammatory responses that can inflict more harm than the infection itself.
Prospective Merger Between Car-Parrinello and Lattice Boltzmann Methods for Quantum Many-Body Simulations
Authors: Succi Sauro , Palpacelli Silvia 
Published: February 2011

AbstractFormal analogies between the Car-Parrinello (CP) ab-initio molecular dynamics for quantum many-body systems, and the Lattice Boltzmann (LB) method for classical and quantum fluids, are pointed out. A theoretical scenario, whereby the quantum LB would be coupled to the CP framework to speed-up many-body quantum simulations, is also discussed, together with accompanying considerations on the computational efficiency of the prospective CP-LB scheme.
Lattice Boltzmann Simulation of Droplet Generation in a Microfluidic Cross-Junction
Authors: Liu Haihu , Zhang Yonghao 
Published: February 2011

AbstractUsing the lattice Boltzmann multiphase model, numerical simulations have been performed to understand the dynamics of droplet formation in a microfluidic cross-junction. The influence of capillary number, flow rate ratio, viscosity ratio, and viscosity of the continuous phase on droplet formation has been systematically studied over a wide range of capillary numbers. Two different regimes, namely the squeezinglike regime and the dripping regime, are clearly identified with the transition occurring at a critical capillary number Cacr. Generally, large flow rate ratio is expected to produce big droplets, while increasing capillary number will reduce droplet size. In the squeezing-like regime (Ca ≤ Cacr), droplet breakup process is dominated by the squeezing pressure and the viscous force; while in the dripping regime (Ca ≤ Cacr), the viscous force is dominant and the droplet size becomes independent of the flow rate ratio as the capillary number increases. In addition, the droplet size weakly depends on the viscosity ratio in both regimes and decreases when the viscosity of the continuous phase increases. Finally, a scaling law is established to predict the droplet size.
Microflow Simulations via the Lattice Boltzmann Method

Published: February 2011

AbstractThe exact solution to the hierarchy of nonlinear lattice Boltzmann kinetic equations, for the stationary planar Couette flow for any Knudsen number was presented by S. Ansumali et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett., 98 (2007), 124502]. In this paper, simulation results at a non-vanishing value of the Knudsen number are compared with the closed-form solutions for the higher-order moments. The order of convergence to the exact solution is also studied. The lattice Boltzmann simulations are in excellent agreement with the exact solution.

Published: February 2011

The paper presents an overview of the present perception of bio-food labeling by consumers in Slovakia. Analyses were realized by the questionnaire survey organized in the period December 2009 to January 2010. In the survey, 388 respondents were interviewed. From the methodological aspect, basic approaches of descriptive statistics have been used, as well as methods of association measurement. The test of robustness tested Chi-Square statistic. The robustness have been judged based on the p-values. Correlations have been tested through the Contingency coefficient and Cramer´s V coefficient. The survey showed that dependency knowledge of logos was confirmed in terms of knowledge of bio-food, education, type of employment, study at FBP faculty and in terms of choice of organic foods by manufacturers. Students of FBP knows more bio-food logos than other respondents. The second highest dependency was confirmed within selection of bio-food produced individual manufacturers.
