Villes mortes, villes à l’agonie: Écriture du ravage dans Le quatrième mur de Sorj Chalandon

Dándole un nuevo significado al tópico de la ciudad muerta, especialmente productivo en la literatura de fin de siglo, Sorj Chalandon configura, en Le qua-trième mur, una poética del saqueo que hace de la ciudad devastada un espacio de creación, al mismo tiempo novelesco y trágico, donde reinventar el género de la tumba.

Mães-no-crack: que lugar para a criança?

A partir da constatação do aumento do uso de crack por gestantes no âmbito da assistência materno-infantil, esta dissertação propõe problematizar a decisão de separar mãe usuária de droga e seu filho, efetuada no campo jurídico. Apresentamos dois fragmentos de histórias colhidas no dispositivo de conversação no laboratório do CIEN. O estudo foi iniciado pelo exame das posições de filiação reservadas à criança, no discurso analítico, reconhecidas como objeto fálico e como objeto condensador de gozo. A pesquisa interroga ainda se a solução freudiana pela via da maternidade, como uma saída fálica, responde à questão do desejo na mulher. Ao percorrer a elaboração de Lacan sobre o gozo feminino e as fórmulas da sexuação, verificamos aquilo que vigora para as mães-no-crack, localizado mais além do Édipo, na vertente da devastação. Ao examinar o que está implicado no uso de drogas pelos sujeitos, verifica-se que o recurso ao crack denuncia a degradação do Nome-do-pai e apresenta um modo de gozo autoerótico que exclui a dimensão do Outro, do inconsciente e do desejo; configurando-se como um modo de resposta fora do sintoma, que se aproxima da noção devastação. O lugar que a criança pode encontrar junto à mãe usuária de drogas necessita ser respondida no caso a caso, respeitando o mandamento ético caro ao saber da psicanálise

Adenosine induces histamine release from human bronchoalveolar lavage mast cells

Previous studies have shown that in vitro adenosine enhances histamine release from activated human lung mast cells obtained by enzymic dispersion of lung parenchyma. However, adenosine alone has no effect on histamine release from these cells. Given the evidence for direct activation of mast cells after endobronchial challenge with adenosine and previous studies indicating that mast cells obtained at bronchoalveolar lavage are a better model for asthma studies than those obtained by enzymic dispersion of lung tissue, the histamine-releasing effect of adenosine was examined on lavage mast cells. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was obtained from patients attending hospital for routine bronchoscopy (n = 54). Lavage cells were challenged with adenosine or adenosine receptor agonists (20 min, 37 degrees C) and histamine release determined using an automated fluorometric assay. Endogenous adenosine levels were also measured in lavage fluid (n = 9) via an HPLC method. Adenosine alone caused histamine release from ravage mast cells in 37 of 54 patients with a maximal histamine release of 20.56 +/- 2.52% (range 5.2-61 %). The adenosine receptor agonists (R)-N-6-(2-phenylisopropyl)adenosine, 5'-N-ethylcarboxamido-adenosine and CGS21680 also induced histamine release from lavage mast cells. Preincubation of lavage mast cells with the adenosine receptor antagonist xanthine amine congener caused significant inhibition of the response to adenosine (P = 0.007). There was an inverse correlation between endogenous adenosine levels in the lavage fluid and the maximal response to in vitro adenosine challenge of the lavage cells. The findings of the present study indicate a means by which adenosine challenge of the airways can induce bronchoconstriction and support a role for adenosine in the pathophysiology of asthma. The results also suggest that cells obtained from bronchoalveolar ravage fluid may provide the ideal model for the testing of novel, adenosine receptor, targeted therapies for asthma.

spotlight europe #2015/02—July 2015: A Gulf CSC Could Bring Peace and Greater Security to the Middle East

Wars continue to ravage in Syria, Iraq and Yemen. Refugees are wandering around aimlessly in the Middle East with many fleeing to Europe. Saudi Arabia and Iran are adding fuel to the flames. They are vying for supremacy while remaining highly suspicious of each other. A Conference for Security and Cooperation could help to ease existing tensions. Many years ago the CSCE was a resounding success. It could thus serve as a blueprint with the nuclear agreement with Iran as a starting point of such a venture.
