Minimal analytical characterization of engineered nanomaterials needed for hazard assessment in biological matrices.

Abstract This paper presents the outcomes from a workshop of the European Network on the Health and Environmental Impact of Nanomaterials (NanoImpactNet). During the workshop, 45 experts in the field of safety assessment of engineered nanomaterials addressed the need to systematically study sets of engineered nanomaterials with specific metrics to generate a data set which would allow the establishment of dose-response relations. The group concluded that international cooperation and worldwide standardization of terminology, reference materials and protocols are needed to make progress in establishing lists of essential metrics. High quality data necessitates the development of harmonized study approaches and adequate reporting of data. Priority metrics can only be based on well-characterized dose-response relations derived from the systematic study of the bio-kinetics and bio-interactions of nanomaterials at both organism and (sub)-cellular levels. In addition, increased effort is needed to develop and validate analytical methods to determine these metrics in a complex matrix.

Subtelomeric deletion of chromosome 10p15.3: clinical findings and molecular cytogenetic characterization.

We describe 19 unrelated individuals with submicroscopic deletions involving 10p15.3 characterized by chromosomal microarray (CMA). Interestingly, to our knowledge, only two individuals with isolated, submicroscopic 10p15.3 deletion have been reported to date; however, only limited clinical information is available for these probands and the deleted region has not been molecularly mapped. Comprehensive clinical history was obtained for 12 of the 19 individuals described in this study. Common features among these 12 individuals include: cognitive/behavioral/developmental differences (11/11), speech delay/language disorder (10/10), motor delay (10/10), craniofacial dysmorphism (9/12), hypotonia (7/11), brain anomalies (4/6) and seizures (3/7). Parental studies were performed for nine of the 19 individuals; the 10p15.3 deletion was de novo in seven of the probands, not maternally inherited in one proband and inherited from an apparently affected mother in one proband. Molecular mapping of the 19 individuals reported in this study has identified two genes, ZMYND11 (OMIM 608668) and DIP2C (OMIM 611380; UCSC Genome Browser), mapping within 10p15.3 which are most commonly deleted. Although no single gene has been identified which is deleted in all 19 individuals studied, the deleted region in all but one individual includes ZMYND11 and the deleted region in all but one other individual includes DIP2C. There is not a clearly identifiable phenotypic difference between these two individuals and the size of the deleted region does not generally predict clinical features. Little is currently known about these genes complicating a direct genotype/phenotype correlation at this time. These data however, suggest that ZMYND11 and/or DIP2C haploinsufficiency contributes to the clinical features associated with 10p15 deletions in probands described in this study.

SCRIB and PUF60 Are Primary Drivers of the Multisystemic Phenotypes of the 8q24.3 Copy-Number Variant.

Copy-number variants (CNVs) represent a significant interpretative challenge, given that each CNV typically affects the dosage of multiple genes. Here we report on five individuals with coloboma, microcephaly, developmental delay, short stature, and craniofacial, cardiac, and renal defects who harbor overlapping microdeletions on 8q24.3. Fine mapping localized a commonly deleted 78 kb region that contains three genes: SCRIB, NRBP2, and PUF60. In vivo dissection of the CNV showed discrete contributions of the planar cell polarity effector SCRIB and the splicing factor PUF60 to the syndromic phenotype, and the combinatorial suppression of both genes exacerbated some, but not all, phenotypic components. Consistent with these findings, we identified an individual with microcephaly, short stature, intellectual disability, and heart defects with a de novo c.505C>T variant leading to a p.His169Tyr change in PUF60. Functional testing of this allele in vivo and in vitro showed that the mutation perturbs the relative dosage of two PUF60 isoforms and, subsequently, the splicing efficiency of downstream PUF60 targets. These data inform the functions of two genes not associated previously with human genetic disease and demonstrate how CNVs can exhibit complex genetic architecture, with the phenotype being the amalgam of both discrete dosage dysfunction of single transcripts and also of binary genetic interactions.

The baby and the couple : understanding and treating young families

The Baby and the Couple provides an insider's view on how infant communication develops in the context of the family and how parents either work together as a team or struggle in the process. The authors present vignettes from everyday life as well as case studies from a longitudinal research project of infants and their parents interacting together in the Lausanne Trilogue Play (LTP), an assessment tool for very young families. Divided into three parts, the book focuses not only on the parents, but also on the infant's contribution to the family. Part 1 presents a case study of Lucas and his family, from infancy to age 5. With each chapter we see how, in the context of their families, infants learn to communicate with more than one person at a time. Part 2 explores how infants cope when their parents struggle to work together - excluding, competing or only connecting through their child. The authors follow several case examples from infancy through to early childhood to illustrate various forms of problematic co-parenting, along with the infant's derailed trajectory at different ages and stages. In Part 3, prevention and intervention models based on the LTP are presented. In addition to an overview of these programs, chapters are devoted to the Developmental Systems Consultation, which combines use of the LTP and video feedback, and a new model, Reflective Family Play, which allows whole families to engage in treatment. The Baby and the Couple is a vital resource for professionals working in the fields of infant and preschool mental health including psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, family therapists and educators, as well as researchers.

Traumatismes précoces et réponses de stress, leur association aves la santé mentale, l'attachement et l'ocytocine

Lorsqu'un individu est confronté à une situation stressante, une des réponses les plus saillantes est l'activation de l'axe HPA, caractérisée par le déclenchement d'un taux élevé de glucocorticoïdes dans le sang. De manière générale, cette réponse hormonale est adaptative et elle a pour but la mobilisation des ressources physiques et cognitives de l'individu pour une action spécifique (Axelrod & Reisine, 1984; Chrousos & Gold, 1992; N. M. Kaplan, 1988; McEwen, 2004). Cependant, lorsque une personne est confrontée très tôt dans son développement, et de manière répétée, à des situations de stress, cette réponse physiologique peut s'altérer, devenir inadaptée (Anand, 1993; Bremner et al., 1995; Meaney et al., 1996; Mirescu, Peters, & Gould, 2004; Plotsky & Meaney, 1993; Sapolsky, 2000) et être associée à des troubles cognitifs (McEwen & Sapolsky, 1995) et émotionnels (McEwen, 2000). A l'âge adulte, le résultat de ces altérations psychoneuroendocriniennes se traduit au cours de l'activation de l'axe HPA et elles sont visibles lors de situations de stress moins intenses (Graham, Heim, Goodman, Miller, & Nemeroff, 1999; Mirescu et al., 2004; Stam, Bruijnzeel, & Wiegant, 2000; A. Taylor, Fisk, & Glover, 2000). La dysregulation de l'axe HPA semble représenter un facteur de vulnérabilité lié à des dysfonctionnements psychiques et physiologiques chez les adultes (Heim, Ehlert, & Hellhammer, 2000; Heim & Nemeroff, 1999; Heim, Newport, Mletzko, Miller, & Hemeroff, 2008). Cependant, des facteurs de protection peuvent influencer à leur tour ces vulnérabilités. La littérature, basée sur des études translationnelles (animaux, humains), converge vers le postulat selon lequel la dimension relationnelle apportée par l'environnement est fondamentale dans le développement des vulnérabilités physiologiques et psychiques du sujet. Dans ce sens, les relations d'attachement ont été particulièrement étudiées. A l'âge adulte, par exemple, la qualité des représentations d'attachement semble influencer directement l'expression de gènes impliqués dans les réponses hormonales de stress (Biagini, Pich, Carani, Marrama, & Agnati, 1998; Caldji, Diorio, & Meaney, 2000; Dallman, 2000; De Kloet, Rosenfeld, Van Eekelen, Sutanto, & Levine, 1988; Rincon-Cortes & Sullivan, 2014; Romeo, Tang, & Sullivan, 2009; van Oers, de Kloet, Whelan, & Levine, 1998), illustrant ainsi une perspective épigénétique. Traumatismes précoces et réponses de stress, leur association avec la santé mentale, l'attachement et l'ocytocine Deux objectifs principaux définissent ce travail de doctorat. Le premier est de comprendre comment un événement à portée traumatique, qui a eu lieu pendant la période périnatale, l'enfance ou l'adolescence, peut s'inscrire au niveau physiologique (axe hypotalamico- hypophysaire-surrénalien - axe HPA), au niveau psychopathologique ou encore au niveau de la régulation émotionnelle au cours de l'âge adulte. A ce propos, nous avons évalué les réponses physiologiques (telles que le Cortisol, l'ACTH et l'ocytocine), la présence de psychopathologies (relatives à l'axe I du DSM-IV) et les réponses émotionnelles (telles que la perception au stress) au cours d'une situation de stress de nature psychosociale, induite en laboratoire. Le deuxième objectif de ce travail est de savoir si les représentations d'attachement peuvent médiatiser ces effets, chez des individus exposés à différents événements à portée traumatique. Dans ce but, trois populations ont été considérées. La première est relative à des jeunes adultes nés grands prématurés ; la deuxième, concerne des femmes adultes ayant vécu un ou plusieurs abus sexuels au cours de leur enfance ou de leur adolescence et enfin la troisième est constituée de personnes adultes qui ont survécu à une maladie grave (cancer) pendant leur enfance ou leur adolescence. Enfin, ces trois populations sont comparées à des groupes contrôle. La prise en considération de différents types de traumatismes a permis de relever : premièrement, qu'un événement à portée traumatique de nature différente, peut influencer de manière semblable les structures neuronales, par exemple l'hypocortisolémie ; deuxièmement, qu'un dysfonctionnement de l'axe HPA n'aboutit pas nécessairement à la présence de signes de souffrance mentale ; enfin, des effets protecteurs ont été mis en évidence. Ces facteurs sont sous-tendus, d'un point de vue psychologique, par les représentations d'attachement et, d'un point de vue physiologique, par la sécrétion d'ocytocjne périphérique. Traumatismes précoces et réponses de stress, leur association avec la santé mentale, l'attachement et l'ocytocine -- When an individual is faced by a stressful situation, one of the most notable responses is the activation of the HPA axis, which is characterized by a heightened level of glucocortisoids in the blood. In general, this is an adaptive hormonal response which prepares the individual both physically and cognitively for a specific action (Axelrod & Reisine, 1984; Chrousos & Gold, 1992; N. M. Kaplan, 1988; McEwen, 2004). However, should a person be confronted to stressful situations very early and repeatedly in their development, this physiologic response may be altered and become maladapted (Anand, 1993; Bremner et al., 1995; Meaney et al., 1996; Mirescu et al., 2004; Plotsky & Meaney, 1993; Sapolsky, 2000) which can be associated to emotional (McEwen, 2000) and cognitive disorders(McEwen & Sapolsky, 1995). Throughout adulthood, the result of these psychoneuroendocrine alterations affects the activation of the HPA axis and are noticeable during less intense stressful situations (Graham et al., 1999; Mirescu et al., 2004; Stam et al., 2000; A. Taylor et al., 2000). HPA axis dysregulation appears to represent a factor of vulnerability linked to psychological and physical disorders in adults (Heim, Ehlert, et al., 2000; Heim & Nemeroff, 1999; Heim, Newport, et al., 2008). Nonetheless, these vulnerabilities may be influenced by further protection factors. The literature, based on translational studies (animals and humans), suggests that relationships formed in the context of the individual's environment are fundamental in the development of their physiological and psychological vulnerabilities. Thus, attachment relationships have been particularly studied. In adulthood, for example, the quality of attachment representations appear to influence directly the expression of genes involved in the hormonal responses to stress (Biagini et al., 1998; Caldji et al., 2000; Dallman, 2000; De Kloet et al., 1988; Rincon-Cortes & Sullivan, 2014; Romeo et al., 2009; van Oers et al., 1998). With the goal to study these dimensions, two principal objectives define these doctoral study. The first is to understand how an event considered to be traumatic, which took place during early infancy, infancy, or adolescence, could influence physiology (HPA axis), psychopathology or emotional regulation during adulthood. Therefore we have evaluated the presence of psychopathologies (relative to axis I of the DSM), physiological responses (such as Cortisol, ACTH and oxytocin) and emotional responses (such as perception of stress) throughout a psychosocial stress situation, conducted in a laboratory setting. The second objective of this study is to understand if attachment representations can mediate these effects, in individuals exposed to three different types of traumatic events. Therefore, three populations have been considered. The first is young adults who were born prematurely; the second concerns adult women who have suffered sexual abuse, on one or more occasions, during their childhood or adolescence; finally the third group is constituted of people who have survived a grave childhood illness. These populations were all compared to control groups. The consideration of different types of traumatic events has demonstrated, firstly, that different events which are considered to be traumatic can similarly influence neuronal structures, for example hypocortisolism. Secondly, that an HPA axis disorder does not necessarily lead to the presence of mental signs of distress, as is the case for those born very prematurely. Finally, protective effects were demonstrated, distinctively from a psychological point of view, by attachment representations and furthermore by peripheral oxytocin secretion from a physiological perspective.

How to identify and recruit nurses to a survey 14 and 24 years after graduation in a context of scarce data : lessons learnt from the 2012 nurses at work pilot study on nurses' career paths

Nursing workforce data are scarce in Switzerland, with no active national registry of nurses. The worldwide nursing shortage is also affecting Switzerland, so that evidence-based results of the nurses at work project on career paths and retention are needed as part of the health care system stewardship; nurses at work is a retrospective cohort study of nurses who graduated in Swiss nursing schools in the last 30 years. Results of the pilot study are presented here (process and feasibility). The objectives are (1) to determine the size and structure of the potential target population by approaching two test-cohorts of nursing graduates (1988 and 1998); (2) to test methods of identifying and reaching them 14 and 24 years after graduation; (3) to compute participation rates, and identify recruitment and participation biases.

Microclima e produção de videiras 'Niágara rosada' em cultivo orgânico sob cobertura plástica

O uso de coberturas plásticas sobre vinhedos tem aumentado no Sul do Brasil, visando a atenuar limitações climáticas. Este estudo objetivou quantificar alterações micrometeorológicas causadas por cobertura plástica e seus efeitos no desenvolvimento e na produção de videiras 'Niágara Rosada', em cultivo orgânico. O estudo foi realizado em Bento Gonçalves-RS, num vinhedo conduzido em sistema latada e submetido a dois ambientes: em céu aberto e coberto por plástico transparente (160µm) em arcos descontínuos. Nos dois ambientes, foram monitoradas radiação fotossinteticamente ativa (RFA) e temperatura do ar. Avaliaram-se fenologia, índice de área foliar (IAF), peso e diâmetro de bagas, teor de sólidos solúveis e acidez total titulável, incidência de doenças fúngicas e rendimento. A cobertura reduziu em um terço a RFA incidente (-34%) e aumentou as temperaturas máximas do ar (+3,1ºC). Ela acelerou o ciclo vegetativo das videiras até a maturação, mas retardou a queda de folhas. A cobertura promoveu incrementos de IAF, duração da área foliar e produção de uvas, de 12,3 para 27,1 t ha-1. Não foi observada incidência de doenças fúngicas no vinhedo coberto. Portanto, a cobertura plástica sobre vinhedos é uma alternativa importante na produção de uvas de mesa no Sul do Brasil, em cultivo orgânico.

Developing a theoretical framework using a nursing perspective to investigate perceived health in the "Sandwich Generation" group

Coexisting workloads from professional, household and family, and caregiving activities for frail parents expose middle-aged individuals, the so-called "Sandwich Generation", to potential health risks. Current trends suggest that this situation will continue or increase. Thus SG health promotion has become a nursing concern. Most existing research considers coexisting workloads a priori pathogenic. Most studies have examined the association of one, versus two, of these three activities with health. Few studies have used a nursing perspective. This article presents the development of a framework based on a nursing model. We integrated Siegrist's Effort-Reward Imbalance middle-range theory into "Neuman Systems Model". The latter was chosen for its salutogenic orientation, its attention to preventive nursing interventions and the opportunity it provides to simultaneously consider positive and negative perceptions of SG health and SG coexisting workloads. Finally, it facilitated a theoretical identification of health protective factors.

Avaliação por imagem das lesões da placa de crescimento

As estruturas responsáveis pelo crescimento do osso incluem a fise (também chamada placa de crescimento) e as epífises. Afecções que acometem pacientes com o esqueleto imaturo, ou seja, com a placa de crescimento ainda aberta, podem interferir no crescimento ósseo, resultando em complicações como parada do crescimento, encurtamento dos membros ou deformidades angulares. Condições traumáticas que resultam muitas vezes em fraturas epifisárias são a causa mais comum das lesões da placa de crescimento. A avaliação cuidadosa desses pacientes pelos métodos de diagnóstico por imagem atualmente disponíveis, sobretudo a radiografia, a tomografia computadorizada e a ressonância magnética, permite o reconhecimento precoce do comprometimento das estruturas relacionadas ao crescimento ósseo, além de tratamento adequado, diminuindo a possibilidade do desenvolvimento de tais complicações.

Defining the Effect of the 16p11.2 Duplication on Cognition, Behavior, and Medical Comorbidities.

IMPORTANCE: The 16p11.2 BP4-BP5 duplication is the copy number variant most frequently associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), schizophrenia, and comorbidities such as decreased body mass index (BMI). OBJECTIVES: To characterize the effects of the 16p11.2 duplication on cognitive, behavioral, medical, and anthropometric traits and to understand the specificity of these effects by systematically comparing results in duplication carriers and reciprocal deletion carriers, who are also at risk for ASD. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This international cohort study of 1006 study participants compared 270 duplication carriers with their 102 intrafamilial control individuals, 390 reciprocal deletion carriers, and 244 deletion controls from European and North American cohorts. Data were collected from August 1, 2010, to May 31, 2015 and analyzed from January 1 to August 14, 2015. Linear mixed models were used to estimate the effect of the duplication and deletion on clinical traits by comparison with noncarrier relatives. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Findings on the Full-Scale IQ (FSIQ), Nonverbal IQ, and Verbal IQ; the presence of ASD or other DSM-IV diagnoses; BMI; head circumference; and medical data. RESULTS: Among the 1006 study participants, the duplication was associated with a mean FSIQ score that was lower by 26.3 points between proband carriers and noncarrier relatives and a lower mean FSIQ score (16.2-11.4 points) in nonproband carriers. The mean overall effect of the deletion was similar (-22.1 points; P < .001). However, broad variation in FSIQ was found, with a 19.4- and 2.0-fold increase in the proportion of FSIQ scores that were very low (≤40) and higher than the mean (>100) compared with the deletion group (P < .001). Parental FSIQ predicted part of this variation (approximately 36.0% in hereditary probands). Although the frequency of ASD was similar in deletion and duplication proband carriers (16.0% and 20.0%, respectively), the FSIQ was significantly lower (by 26.3 points) in the duplication probands with ASD. There also were lower head circumference and BMI measurements among duplication carriers, which is consistent with the findings of previous studies. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The mean effect of the duplication on cognition is similar to that of the reciprocal deletion, but the variance in the duplication is significantly higher, with severe and mild subgroups not observed with the deletion. These results suggest that additional genetic and familial factors contribute to this variability. Additional studies will be necessary to characterize the predictors of cognitive deficits.

Charges de travail et santé perçue de la "génération sandwich"

La coexistence des charges professionnelles, familiales, et d'aide à des ascendants expose la Génération Sandwich (GS) à des risques potentiels pour sa santé. Toutefois, les connaissances sur la GS sont insuffisantes pour permettre aux infirmières du secteur de la santé au travail de développer des interventions en promotion de la santé basées sur des preuves. Ce manque de clarté est préoccupant au vu de certaines tendances sociodémographiques. La présente étude vise à dresser le portrait des travailleurs de la GS en examinant les liens entre leurs caractéristiques, leurs charges co-existantes et leur santé perçue. Pour ce faire, nous avons développé un cadre de référence salutogénique. puis, nous l'avons utilisé pour conduire une recherche descriptive corrélationnelle transversale. un questionnaire électronique a permis de récolter les données de 826 employés d'une administration publique suisse. L'examen a montré que 23.5 % de l'échantillon appartenait à la GS. Cette appartenance ne dépendait pas du sexe. la charge de travail totale (70.5 h/sem) de la GS différait significativement de celle du reste de l'échantillon (62.8 h/sem). Nous n'avons pas trouvé de relation entre cette charge totale et la santé physique ou mentale des femmes. En revanche, il y avait une relation négative entre cette charge totale et la santé physique des hommes, et cette relation était proche du seuil de significativité pour la santé mentale de ces derniers. Grâce à une analyse soucieuse de faire évoluer favorablement les inégalités de genre (gender-transformative), cette étude fournit des pistes pour fonder des interventions préventives en faveur de la santé des membres de la GS.
