Mapping of the binding domains of the axon guidance receptor Unc5B to Netrin-1 and FLRT3

Anàlisi de les interaccions, a nivell neuronal, que tenen lloc durant el desenvolupament embrionari entre el receptor Unc5B (receptor present a la membrana) i les proteïnes Netrin-1 i FLRT3 (fibronectin and leucine-rich transmembrane proteins). La interacció entre aquest receptor i Netrin-1 ha estat profundament estudiada fins al moment, de manera que es coneix que aquesta promou una repulsió en la guia d’axons durant el desenvolupament embrionari. A més, la interacció està implicada en la senyalització per a diferents processos com l’angiogènesi i la supervivència cel·lular. Per altra banda, la interacció entre neurones Unc5B positives i FLRT3, promou un retard en la migració de les neurones. Diversos estudis demostren que aquest retard en la migració està relacionat amb certes patologies mentals.

Guidance parentale et respect de l'intimité. Deuil et érotisme chez les mineurs

Des parents semblent ignorer la limite entre ce que l'on est en droit de montrer et ce que l'on doit traiter avec pudeur. Une sorte d'ambiguïté les amène à être négligents et par là à tolérer des comportements ou des propos grivois de leurs enfants ou à en rire. Les thérapeutes sont invités à entreprendre un travail pédagogique de guidance parentale quand les frontières de l'intime sont floues et quand la confusion touche les jeunes devenant vulnérables et symptomatiques. Les auteurs exposent un cas d'anorexie chez une adolescente, dont la souffrance se trouve masquée par une série de comportements désinhibés. La surexcitation qui en découle peut apparaître comme une solution défensive pour lutter contre la dépression liée à l'expérience de séparation et de deuil. Pour favoriser la construction de représentations des territoires de l'intime plus respectueuses de la vulnérabilité des adolescents, les auteurs ont aussi proposé la sculpture familiale.Parental guidance and respect of intimacy. Young people's mourning and erotism. - Parents seem to be unaware of the borderline between what one may show and what one should handle with reserve. A kind of ambiguity drive them to be careless. As a result, they put up with suggestive behaviour or language from their children and even laugh at it. The therapists are invited to undertake an educational work of parental guidance when the boderlines of the intimate are hazy and when the confusion is affecting young people who become vulnerable and symptomatic. The authors present an anorexia case of a teenager whose distress is concealed by a series of uninhibited behaviours. The ensuing overexcitement could seem to be a defensive solution to fight against the depression related to parting and mourning experience. To encourage the building of representations of the territories of the intimate which would be more respectful of the teenagers vulnerability, the authors also suggest the technique of family sculpture.

Pin guidance of reconstruction plate contour: an expanded role of external fixation

This article presents a modification of intraoperative external fixation for mandibular reconstruction with free tissue flaps. This technique is indicated when preregistration of the reconstruction plate is not possible due to transmandibular tumor extension. Once standard external fixation has been carried out and prior to segmental mandibulectomy, additional pins are fixed to the connecting rod that delineate the mandibular contour in three-dimensional (3D) space. Following mandibulectomy, these pins allow accurate contouring of the reconstruction plate and improved restoration of mandibular contour, projection, and dental occlusion. A step-by-step description of the technique using models and intraoperative photos is presented. This method of mandibular reconstruction is a simple and time-effective alternative to intraoperative computer navigation and 3D modeling in select cases of oral carcinoma where tumor infiltration of the outer mandibular cortex precludes prebending of the reconstruction plates.

Iowa School Library Program Guidelines: Libraries, Literacy and Learning for the 21st Century,February 2007

These guidelines were created by a Task Force appointed by the State Library of Iowa and the Iowa Department of Education to provide assistance to local school districts in developing school library programs. These include a summary of the data collected annually by the State Library of Iowa in its Survey of School Libraries. This data will allow local schools to compare themselves in terms of collections, budgets and staffing to schools of similar size throughout the state.
