To study telomere length dynamics in hematopoietic cells with age, we analyzed the average length of telomere repeat sequences in diverse populations of nucleated blood cells. More than 500 individuals ranging in age from 0 to 90 yr, including 36 pairs of monozygous and dizygotic twins, were analyzed using quantitative fluorescence in situ hybridization and flow cytometry. Granulocytes and naive T cells showed a parallel biphasic decline in telomere length with age that most likely reflected accumulated cell divisions in the common precursors of both cell types: hematopoietic stem cells. Telomere loss was very rapid in the first year, and continued for more than eight decades at a 30-fold lower rate. Memory T cells also showed an initial rapid decline in telomere length with age. However, in contrast to naive T cells, this decline continued for several years, and in older individuals lymphocytes typically had shorter telomeres than did granulocytes. Our findings point to a dramatic decline in stem cell turnover in early childhood and support the notion that cell divisions in hematopoietic stem cells and T cells result in loss of telomeric DNA.

La place de l'imagerie est essentielle au cours des infections pulmonaires. La TDM doit être effectuée en cas de forte suspicion clinique de pneumonie avec aspect radiographique normal, équivoque ou non spécifique, ce qui concerne particulièrement les sujets immunodéprimés. Elle permet de détecter les anomalies associées ou une affection sous-jacente, d'orienter un lavage broncho-alvéolaire ou de guider une biopsie pulmonaire percutanée ou transbronchique. Les expressions d'un germe peuvent varier selon le degré d'immunodépression. Il en est ainsi pour la tuberculose au cours du sida. Les germes impliqués varient selon le type d'immunodépression, certaines infections pouvant engager rapidement le pronostic vital. Le spectre radiologique de l'aspergillose pulmonaire, complexe, doit être connu, ce diagnostic devant être proposé dans des conditions particulières.

The carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is a tumor marker defined by specific heterologous antisera. Elevated levels of circulating CEA have been detected by radioimmunoassay in 20-90 per cent of cases of colorectal carcinomas depending on the degree of tumor spread. The fact that elevation of CEA level can also be observed in other types of carcinomas and in several non malignant conditions greatly limit the value of the CEA test for the early diagnosis of colorectal carcinoma. Thus, the CEA assay should not be used as a screening test for cancer. Repeatecl CEA mesurements, however, appear to be of importance for the evaluation of tumor resection and the detection of tumor recurrence. The only localized tumors known to produce elevation of CEA above the levels observed in non malignant diseases are carcinomas of the large bowel and the pancreas. In carcinomas derived from other organs a marked increase of CEA level is always associated with the presence of distant metastasis. Therefore at the present time the clinical applications of the CEA radioimmunoassay should be limited to the differentiai diagnosis of patients with suspicion of primary colorectal or pancreatic carcinoma, to the detection of distant metastasis in other types of carcinomas and to the post operative follow up of patients who had elevated levels of CEA before surgery. Well-controlled studies are still needed to determine if therapeutic decisions based on CEA results can lead to improved survival.

We investigated whether a single blood measurement using the minimally invasive technique of a finger prick to draw a blood sample of 5 µl (to yield a dried blood spot (DBS)) is suitable for the assessment of flurbiprofen (FLB) metabolic ratio (MR). Ten healthy volunteers who had been genotyped for CYP2C9 were recruited as subjects. They received FLB alone in session 1 and FLB with fluconazole in session 2. In session 3, the subjects were pretreated for 4 days with rifampicin and received FLB with the last dose of rifampicin on day 5. Plasma and DBS samples were obtained between 0 and 8 h after FLB administration, and urine was collected during the 8 h after administration. The pharmacokinetic profiles of the drugs were comparable in DBS and plasma. FLB's apparent clearance values decreased by 35% in plasma and DBS during session 2 and increased by 75% in plasma and by 30% in DBS during session 3. Good correlations were observed between MRs calculated from urine, plasma, and DBS samples.

This report describes a short-term study undertaken to investigate the potential for using dense three-dimensional (3D) point clouds generated from light detection and ranging (LIDAR) and photogrammetry to assess roadway roughness. Spatially continuous roughness maps have potential for the identification of localized roughness features, which would be a significant improvement over traditional profiling methods. This report specifically illustrates the use of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and photogrammetry using a process known as structure from motion (SFM) to acquire point clouds and illustrates the use of these point clouds in evaluating road roughness. Five roadway sections were chosen for scanning and testing: three gravel road sections, one portland cement concrete (PCC) section, and one asphalt concrete (AC) section. To compare clouds obtained from terrestrial laser scanning and photogrammetry, the coordinates of the clouds for the same section on the same date were matched using open source computer code. The research indicates that the technologies described are very promising for evaluating road roughness. The major advantage of both technologies is the large amount of data collected, which allows the evaluation of the full surface. Additional research is needed to further develop the use of dense 3D point clouds for roadway assessment.
