Durational cues to resyllabification in Spanish
Authors: Jiménez-Bravo Miguel , Lahoz-Bengoechea José María 
Published: December 2023

Word-final consonants in Spanish are post-lexically resyllabified when followed by an onsetless syllable, e.g. venden aves (‘they sell birds’) is traditionally syllabified as ven.de.na.ves and is considered homophonous with vende naves (‘he sells ships’). This study analyzes such two-word minimal pairs inserted in prosodically equivalent sentences read from a list and provides measurements of the acoustic duration of resyllabified /s/, /n/, and /l/, and of their flanking vowels. A mixed-model analysis showed that, when resyllabified as derived onsets, all three consonants pattern together and show a shorter duration (venden aves) in comparison with canonical onsets (vende naves). This is consistent with the coda position that they occupy in the lexical representation, given the weak nature of codas. However, vowel duration varies according to consonant identity. These results are discussed in terms of the articulatory gestures making up the target consonants and allow to interpret that the resyllabified consonant actually becomes the onset of the following syllable. Therefore, we offer converging evidence of resyllabified consonants acting both as codas and onsets, and consequently we propose they can be analyzed as ambisyllabic.

Le surgissement à l’histoire de Jean Rossignol
Authors: Fasfalis Dimitris 
Published: December 2023

Prenant appui sur l’autobiographie de Jean Rossignol, sans-culotte devenu général en l’an II, cet article vise à analyser son historicité pour comprendre le surgissement à l’histoire des acteurs révolutionnaires populaires. Les événements du 12 au 14 juillet 1789, à Paris, y jouent un rôle clé. Partant du cadre analytique construit par Reinhart Koselleck, l’article met en évidence les traits du champ d’expérience et de l’horizon d’attente de Jean Rossignol avant et après l’irruption révolutionnaire. Il retrace ainsi son évolution d’une historicité passive à une historicité active, à l’aide d’une analyse de ses expériences du temps. Son régime d’historicité révolutionnaire apparaît alors à la fois comme une conversion de sa perception historique et comme un engagement intense dans un présent plein d’une pluralité de possibles.
Anthropologie politique versus anthropologie radicale : le rejeu d’un débat des Lumières ?
Authors: Kastler-Vassilievitch Jean-Loup 
Published: December 2023

Cet article cherche à mettre en perspective les débats contemporains dans le domaine de l’anthropologie historique. Il part de la publication et de la traduction en français de l’ouvrage de référence de David Wengrow et David Graeber intitulé The Dawn of Everything (2021) et tente de démontrer qu’il pose davantage de questions qu’il ne clôture définitivement certaines disputes héritées des Lumières. L’anthropologie politique centrée sur l’État dont se revendiquent les deux auteurs et l’anthropologie radicale centrée sur la société sont les deux facettes d’un débat répété nécessaire à l’évolution des savoirs scientifiques. Révolution ou évolution ? Égalité ou liberté ? Femmes ou hommes ? Faut-il vraiment choisir au risque de faire disparaître certaines questions essentielles de l’histoire de l’espèce humaine ?
Freud à contretemps
Authors: Edelman Nicole 
Published: December 2023

Les conditions historiques et les environnements intellectuels et événementiels qui voient naître la psychanalyse mettent au jour de profonds décalages conceptuels entre la pensée de Sigmund Freud (1856‑1939) et celle qui domine son temps. Pour concevoir la psychanalyse, Freud s’est à la fois totalement inscrit dans son temps par sa formation professionnelle réalisée dans un cadre médical scientiste issu de la révolution clinique de la fin du XVIIIe siècle, tout en poursuivant un chemin composé de pas de côté, de retours en arrière, de décrochages, de chevauchements qui tous cependant ont mené à des ruptures petites ou radicales. La psychanalyse ne surgit pas d’un enchaînement simple et linéaire de découvertes successives, elle résulte de tâtonnements, de fausses pistes et surtout de questionnements issus des multiples domaines conceptuels et disciplinaires sans cesse interrogés. Freud invente des hors-pistes de la pensée dominante toujours rationnels, toujours discutés et argumentés.
Queeriser l’Odyssée : la Pénélope de Claude Cahun
Authors: Pietrobelli Antoine 
Published: December 2023

En préparant un cours sur les réceptions contemporaines d’Homère, je suis tombé sur un bref texte de Claude Cahun : « L’Allumeuse (Pénélope irrésolue) ». Ce monologue léger et parodique contient une forte charge subversive. La réécriture féministe et queer de l’Odyssée par Claude Cahun est vieille d’un siècle, mais elle garde une fraîcheur insolente et explosive.
L’étoffe du labeur : fonctions critiques du vêtement de travail dans les œuvres contemporaines
Authors: Richert Camille 
Published: December 2023

Quelles fonctions le vêtement de travail endosse-t-il dans les œuvres contemporaines représentant le labeur ? L’article s’intéresse aux manières dont, depuis la fin des années 1960, plusieurs artistes occidentaux se sont saisis des tenues professionnelles pour conduire une critique des mondes du travail. Mobilisant des œuvres performatives, filmiques, photographiques comme des installations, cette réflexion diachronique propose de considérer le vêtement de travail comme un élément sémiotique singulier de l’espace de l’œuvre : autour de celui-ci se sont articulées des pratiques de critique institutionnelle, d’autres portant sur la désindustrialisation et les effets du néolibéralisme sur les mondes du travail, ainsi que des propositions, aussi concrètes, prospectives qu’utopiques, pour penser la reconfiguration des identités collectives.
Couture Culture : avant et (vingt ans) après
Authors: Troy Nancy J. 
Published: December 2023

Dans cet essai sollicité par Perspective pour célébrer le vingtième anniversaire de la publication de son livre, Couture Culture: A Study in Modern Art and Fashion (Cambridge, MA, The MIT Press, 2003), Nancy J. Troy revient sur sa trajectoire intellectuelle, depuis sa formation d’historienne de l’art dans les années 1970 jusqu’à son adhésion, des décennies plus tard, aux études de mode comme un domaine analytique et critique de premier plan, qui ne le cède en rien, par son ambition et son potentiel, à la pensée historique de l’art la plus avancée de l’époque. L’auteure fait référence à de nombreux interlocuteurs pour expliquer comment elle a surmonté son scepticisme initial à l’égard des arts décoratifs et de la mode pour conduire de nouvelles recherches interdisciplinaires sur l’art moderne et la culture visuelle, comme en témoigne sa publication la plus récente, Mondrian’s Dress: Yves Saint Laurent, Piet Mondrian, and Pop Art (Cambridge, MA, The MIT Press, 2023).

Published: December 2023

Abstract
All cells of the immune system reside in adipose tissue (AT), and increasing type 2 immune cells may be a therapeutic strategy to improve metabolic health. In our previous study using i.p. IL-5 injections to increase eosinophils, we observed that a standard vehicle control of 0.1% BSA also elicited profound AT eosinophilia. In this study, we aimed to determine whether BSA-induced AT eosinophilia results in metabolic benefits in murine models of diet-induced obesity. I.p. 0.1% BSA injections increased AT eosinophils after 4 wk. Despite elevating eosinophils to &gt;50% of immune cells in the AT, body weight and glucose tolerance were not different between groups. Interestingly, BSA elicited epithelial IL-33 production, as well as gene expression for type 2 cytokines and IgE production that were dependent on IL-33. Moreover, multiple models of OVA sensitization also drove AT eosinophilia. Following transplantation of a donor fat pad with BSA-induced eosinophilia, OVA-sensitized recipient mice had higher numbers of bronchoalveolar lavage eosinophils that were recipient derived. Interestingly, lungs of recipient mice contained eosinophils, macrophages, and CD8 T cells from the donor AT. These trafficked similarly from BSA- and non-BSA–treated AT, suggesting even otherwise healthy AT serves as a reservoir of immune cells capable of migrating to the lungs. In conclusion, our studies suggest that i.p. injections of BSA and OVA induce an allergic response in the AT that elicits eosinophil recruitment, which may be an important consideration for those using OVA in animal models of allergic disease.

Published: December 2023

Objective:
To investigate the mechanism of Renshen Guben oral liquid (RSGB) enhancing immune function.

Materials and Methods:
Network pharmacology and molecular docking were used to intuitively demonstrate the mechanism of immune regulation of RSGB.

Results:
A total of 112 active compounds of RSGB were found, and 501 targets were predicted. Furthermore, 2974 immune targets were obtained from UniProt and NCBI Gene databases, and 111 common targets of RSGB and immunity were obtained. Among them, interleukin (IL) 6, tumor necrosis factor, AKT1, VEGFA, STAT3, MAPK1, SRC, EGFR, IL1B, and PTGS2 might be the key targets for RSGB to improve immunity. ClueGO and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis showed that the immunoregulatory mechanism of RSGB may find a relation with the B cell receptor signaling pathway and T cell receptor signaling pathway. Furthermore, this study preliminarily explored the mechanism of RSGB improving menopausal syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome, and cancer-related fatigue by enhancing immunity.

Conclusions:
RSGB can improve the body’s immunity through multicomponent, multitarget, and multipathway. In addition, RSGB can also improve the immune capacity of the body to assist in the treatment of diseases, which has great potential as an immunomodulator.
Efficacy of Hypnotherapy in the Management of Fibromyalgia: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Study
Authors: Baykuş Hürmet Ebru , Güç Ayşe Atilabey , Karabaş Çağlar , Çalış Havva Talay 
Published: December 2023

Objective:
A multi-modal approach to fibromyalgia syndrome is necessary as it is affected by emotional, cognitive, and behavioral factors. In this context, hypnosis is one of the treatment methods used in fibromyalgia. However, studies on the use of hypnosis in fibromyalgia have mostly been conducted with short treatment durations of self-hypnosis. For this reason, we aimed to conduct this study in which the hypnosis sessions were face-to-face and the treatment duration was longer.

Materials and Methods:
Twenty-five patients who met the fibromyalgia diagnostic criteria published in the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 2016 and whose medical treatment was planned were included in the study. A total of 20 patients completed the study (10 hypnosis group and 10 control group). No additional treatment was applied to the control group other than medical treatment and exercise recommendations. In addition to medical treatment and exercise, patients in the hypnosis group received face-to-face hypnosis therapy once a week for 60 min, a total of 10 sessions. Evaluations of the patients before the treatment and in the 3rd month after the treatment were made with the pain score and the fibromyalgia disease activity score.

Results:
Ages 18–65 years, with widespread pain for at least 3 months, according to ACR 2016 fibromyalgia diagnostic criteria; A total of 20 patients with fibromyalgia, 10 in the hypnosis treatment group and 10 in the control treatment group completed the study. When the 3rd month Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) values of the group receiving hypnosis treatment were compared with the control group, a statistical difference was found (P < 0.001). When the pre-treatment VAS and FIQ values of the group receiving hypnosis treatment were compared with the 3rd month values, a statistically significant improvement was found (respectively; P = 0.006, P = 0.005). When the pretreatment and 3rd month VAS and FIQ values of the control group were compared, no statistical difference was found (P = 0.063).

Conclusions:
Hypnosis treatment is effective in reducing pain and increasing daily life activities in fibromyalgia patients, and no side effects were reported. It can be considered a complementary treatment within the multimodal approach in fibromyalgia patients.
Close Correlations Between Carotid Arterial Mean Blood Flow Velocity, Body Mass Index, and Temperature in Normal Individuals
Authors: Zhu Xiang , Gao Wei , Chi Yong , Wang Zhi-Yong , Shao Jun-Jie 
Published: December 2023

Objective:
Assessing carotid and radial pulses is an essential sphygmology method in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It is believed in TCM and by doctors that pulse force is markedly linked with the physiological state of a human, including body mass index (BMI) and temperature. However, comprehensive analysis elucidating these potential correlations remains undetermined. Therefore, this investigation aimed to assess the association of pulse strength with human metabolism.

Materials and Methods:
The mean blood flow velocity (MBFV) of the carotid artery and pulse force of 122 healthy adults included in this investigation were assessed using ultrasound and manual palpation. Their thermal texture map was also acquired.

Results:
No substantial variation was observed in the carotid arterial MBFV among normal individuals (P > 0.05) regardless of body side and gender. However, young individuals had higher blood velocity than middle-aged individuals (P < 0.05). Furthermore, it was identified that MBFV was negatively associated with BMI and torso temperature; however, it was positively linked with hand temperature.

Conclusions:
This investigation revealed that carotid arterial MBFV could indicate the physical state of humans, including BMI and temperature, and therefore, is valuable for elucidating the effect of TCM on yin–yang. The data validated some TCM beliefs and supported the implementation of sphygmology in TCM.

Authors: Khadilkar Satish , Kamat Saurabh , Deshmukh Narayan , Shah Neha , Shetty Vanaja , Shah Swati , Halani Hiral A. , Mansukhani Khushnuma 
Published: December 2023

Background:
Common etiologies of sciatic mononeuropathy are compressive, infiltrative, traumatic, or diabetic. However, in a proportion of patients, the etiology remains elusive despite extensive serological, electrophysiological, radiological, and histological investigations.

Methods:
Patients with unexplained sciatic mononeuropathy were studied with regard to their clinical, radiological, pathological, and treatment aspects.

Results:
We could identify five cases of sciatic mononeuropathy wherein the etiology remained unknown even after a comprehensive evaluation. The compressive, metabolic, hematological, and immune causes were ruled out with necessary investigations. The clinical, electrophysiological, radiological, and histological features of these patients are discussed.

Conclusion:
The etiology of sciatic mononeuropathy can remain obscure in certain instances in spite of the comprehensive workup. The role of investigations and the exclusion process of various diagnostic entities are discussed.
Causes and pathological characteristics of native renal thrombotic microangiopathy in an Egyptian population with clinical correlation
Authors: Hamza Wael M , Shaker Amr M 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Introduction
Thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) in needle renal biopsy stands as one of the most important diagnostic critical values in nephropathology, and a diagnostic challenge in many of affected patients. The condition has various etiologies with different underlying pathogenetic mechanisms. The urgent handling of such cases with clinical anticipation and histopathological diagnosis draws the management and prognosis of these patients.

Objectives
In this paper, the histopathological characteristics of native renal TMA lesions were analyzed with determination of the possible underlying etiology and correlation with the clinical findings in Egyptian patients over a duration of 5 years.

Patients and methods
A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the pathological findings and clinical data of our patients with biopsy-proven renal TMA over a duration of 5 years (from January 2014 to January 2019). One hundred and twenty-seven cases were included.

Results
The prevalence of native renal TMA in our patients was 3.90% with male: female ratio (0.9: 1) and age range (2–80 years). The most common manifestation was acute kidney injury (64.57%). An underlying etiology was identified in 88 (69.29%) cases and the most common cause was association with autoimmune diseases (27.27%), followed by drug-induced TMA (15.91%), infection-associated TMA, and malignant hypertension (14.77% each). Acute TMA pathological features without evidence of chronicity were seen in 56 (44.09%) cases. The most encountered acute glomerular pathological lesion was irregular capillary wall thickening (68.50%), followed by tuft thrombosis (67.72%) and endothelial swelling (63.78%). Cortical necrosis was detected in 14 (11.02%) patients. The highest percentage of chronic damage features was detected in malignant hypertension and pregnancy-associated TMA.

Conclusion
TMA is a rare finding in needle native renal biopsy in the study’s Egyptian population with varied underlying etiological agents. The clinicopathological integration and implementing the recent clinical laboratory tests for identification of the underlying etiology of TMA has utmost importance to guide the appropriate management plan of these patients.
Evaluating the expression of immunohistochemical panel of p53, CDX2, IMP3 and AMCAR in grading dysplasia of Barrett’s esophagus and predicting the progression to esophageal adenocarcinoma
Authors: Bassyoni Omneya Y , Abdalla Rana M , Eleleimy Hiam A 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Objective
Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is an established precursor to esophageal adenocarcinoma, which has a poor prognosis unless detected at an early stage. The progression of BE to adenocarcinoma is slow and unpredictable. Currently, the best predictor of adenocarcinoma is histological detection of dysplasia.
Accurate grading of dysplasia and especially discriminating low-grade dysplasia LGD from high-grade dysplasia HGD is important for management. Marked variability exists when diagnosing dysplasia in BE. This highlights the need for a diagnostic adjunct, especially in histologically challenging cases.
This study aims at evaluating the role of immunohistochemical expression of (p53, IMP3, AMCAR and CDx2) in Barrett’s oesophagus spectrum, to increase the diagnostic accuracy of grading dysplasia and predicting progression risk.

Methods
This is a retrospective immunohistochemical study, performed on selected 52 cases of esophageal biopsies.

Results
The p53 was negative in nondysplastic Barrett’s esophagus (ND-BE) and LGD and strong positivity towards HGD/esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). CDX2 showed highest expression among ND-BE and decreased towards EAD. IMP3 and AMCAR were negative in all cases of ND-BE with gradual increase among HGD/esophageal adenocarcinoma cases.
IMP3, AMCAR, and CDX2 were found to be more sensitive in detecting HGD (80%, 70% & 70%). Meanwhile, p53 is more specific (100%), IMP3 and AMCAR are more sensitive discriminating LGD from HGD (80%) than p53 and CDX2 (60%, 70%).

Conclusion
This combined panel of p53, CDX2, IMP3, and AMACR could be used in conjunction with histology as a promising tool to accurately predict progression form BE to HGD/adenocarcinoma with a great value for early detecting high grade dysplasia, discriminating it from LGD, improving risk stratification in BE, and optimizing patient care.
Expression status of MLH1 and MSH2 mismatch repair proteins in colorectal carcinoma
Authors: Mohamed Said A-A , Tealeb Al-Sayed MI , Abd-Elhameed Nageh R , Eldowik Yasser M 
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Background
Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is a main cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Lynch syndrome or hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal carcinoma is a cancer syndrome that accounts for 5–10% of cases of CRCs, and it is caused by a germline mutation in one or more of mismatch repair (MMR) genes, that is, MutL homolog 1 (MLH1), MutS homolog 2 (MSH2), MSH6, PMS1 homolog (PMS2), and epithelial cellular adhesion molecule. Nearly 90% of cases have mutations in either MLH1 or MSH2 gene.

Aim
To study the immunohistochemistry of MLH1 and MSH2 MMR proteins in CRC and to study the association of abnormal MMR protein expression with clinicopathological parameters.

Patients and methods
This study included 48 cases of consecutive colectomy specimens submitted to the Pathology Department of Al-Azhar University hospitals and some private laboratories. The patients’ age ranged between 22 and 81 years (median, 53 years), and 35 (72.9%) cases were male and 13 (27.1%) cases were females.

Results
Among the 48 studied CRC cases, 11 (22.9%) cases were MMR deficient, whereas 37 (77.1%) cases were MMR proficient. MMR defects owing to germline mutations of MSH2 were eight (72.7%) cases of the MMR deficient and that due to the functional missense mutation or hypermethylation of MLH1 were three (27.3%) cases.

Conclusions
Immunohistochemistry for MLH1 and MSH2 is a rapid, reliable, effective, and relatively inexpensive method to detect MMR deficiency in CRC tumors. The patterns of expression of MMR protein demonstrated distinct associations with right-sided mucinous colon carcinoma and high tumor grade, which may be valuable for prognosis and clinical treatment of CRCs.
