Abstract
Aim: Several series have already demonstrated that intratumoral subvolumes with high tracer avidity (hotspots) in 18F-flurodesoxyglucose positron-emission tomography (FDG-PET/CT) are preferential sites of local recurrence (LR) in various solid cancers after radiotherapy (RT), becoming potential targets for dose escalation. However, studies conducted on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) found only a moderate overlap between pre- and post-treatment subvolumes. A limitation of these studies was that scans were not performed in RT treatment position (TP) and were coregistred using a rigid registration (RR) method. We sought to study (i) the influence of FDG-PET/CT acquisition in TP and (ii) the impact of using an elastic registration (ER) method to improve the localization of hotpots in HNSCC. Methods: Consecutive patients with HNSCC treated by RT between March 2015 and September 2017 who underwent FDG-PET/CT in TP at initial staging (PETA) and during follow-up (PETR) were prospectively included. We utilized a control group scanned in non treatment position (NTP) from our previous retrospective study. Scans were registered with both RR and ER methods. Various sub-volumes (AX; x = 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90%SUVmax) within the initial tumor and in the subsequent LR (RX; x = 40 and 70%SUVmax) were overlaid on the initial PET/CT for comparison [Dice, Jaccard, overlap fraction = OF, common volume/baseline volume = AXnRX/AX, common volume/recurrent volume = AXnRX/RX]. Results: Of 199 patients included, 43 (21.6%) had LR (TP = 15; NTP = 28). The overlap between A30, A40, and A50 sub-volumes on PETA and the whole metabolic volume of recurrence R40 and R70 on PETR showed moderate to good agreements (0.41–0.64) with OF and AXnRX/RX index, regardless of registration method or patient position. Comparison of registration method demonstrated OF and AXnRX/RX indices (x = 30% to 50%SUVmax) were significantly higher with ER vs. RR in NTP (p < 0.03), but not in TP. For patient position, the OF and AXnRX/RX indices were higher in TP than in NTP when RR was used with a trend toward significance, particularly for x=40%SUVmax (0.50±0.22 vs. 0.31 ± 0.13, p = 0.094). Conclusion: Our study suggested that PET/CT acquired in TP improves results in the localization of FDG hotspots in HNSCC. If TP is not possible, using an ER method is significantly more accurate than RR for overlap estimation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The potential benefits of 18 F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose-positron emission tomography/CT (FDG-PET/CT) imaging for radiotherapy (RT) treatment planning of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are increasingly being recognized. It has been suggested that intratumoral subvolumes with high FDG avidity ("hotspots") are potential targets for selected dose escalation. The purposes of this study were to demonstrate that pre-RT FDG-PET/CT can identify intratumoral sites at increased risk of local relapse after RT and to determine an optimal threshold to delineate smaller RT target volumes that would facilitate RT dose escalation without impaired tolerance. METHODS Seventy-two consecutive patients with locally advanced HNSCC treated by RT ± chemotherapy were included in this study. All patients underwent FDG-PET/CT at initial staging (PETA ) and during systematic follow-up (PETR ). FDG-PET/CT was coregistered on the initial CT scan with a rigid method. Various subvolumes (AX ; × = 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, and 90% standardized uptake value maximum [SUVmax] thresholds) within the primary tumor and in the subsequent local relapse (RX ; × = 40% and 70% SUVmax thresholds) were compared together (Dice, Jaccard, overlap fraction, common volume/baseline volume, and common volume/recurrent volume). RESULTS Nineteen patients (26%) had local relapses. Using a 40% SUVmax threshold, the initial metabolic tumor volume was significantly higher in patients with local relapses than in controlled patients (10.4 ± 8.6 vs 5.1 ± 4.9 cc; p = .002) as well as total lesion glycolysis (117.9 ± 88.6 vs 60.6 ± 80.4; p = .013). For both methods, the overlap index among A30 , A40 , and A50 subvolumes on PETA and the whole metabolic volume of recurrence R40 and R70 on PETR showed a moderate agreement (0.52 to 0.43). CONCLUSION Our study does not find high overlap index values between the initial tumor and recurrence subvolumes, probably because of a suboptimal coregistration. Our results also confirm that metabolic tumor volume and total lesion glycolysis are independently correlated with recurrence-free survival in patients with HNSCC. Further larger prospective studies with FDG-PET/CT performed in the same RT position and with a validated elastic registration method are needed. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
An abscess in the psoas muscle is rare and frequently misdiagnosed. A delay in the diagnosis can increase its mortality rate. Some clinical signs can help the clinician but they all are not always present, and not at the same time. We describe in this paper a case report of an association between a psoas abscess and a homolateral hip joint prosthesis infection. It was suspected because of no improvement in clinical state despite treatment of the abscess by antibiotics and drainage, and it required finally other complementary therapeutic solutions. The pathogenic microorganism was a group C streptococcus. We discuss all these points and thereafter we suggest some recommendations for the clinician.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to develop a radiological method which would be preoperatively available to help determine the best graft placement (with respect to isometricity as well as absence of graft impingement) for all knees. The radiological method is described in full detail. We also present the most significant experimental work supporting our development. Firstly, we studied the path followed by radio-opaque objects inserted in the mobile tibia around the fixed femur. Secondly, we compared the distances measured between selected femoral and tibial points radiologically (according to our method) and clinically (with a currently available isometer). The main results were: (1) every tibial point considered moves on an arc of a circle centered or a corresponding femoral point. We should then speak of pairs of isometric points instead of a single femoral isometric zone; (2) the more posterior the tibial point, the more anterior and distal the corresponding femoral point and vice versa; (3) the distance variations induced by rotation did not exceed 1.5 to 2.5 mm when measured either radiologically or clinically; (4) on the radiological and clinical measurements, the difference of length variations during flexion was also very small (mean 0.22 mm; SD 1.2 mm). We conclude that this very simple method allows us to find the femoral transition line for every knee (whatever its size, shape or dynamics). It aids preoperative planning in anterior cruciate ligament graft reconstruction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To estimate the prevalence of in utero transmission of HIV-1 through the second trimester. MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred consecutive, unselected, intact fetuses, beyond 15 weeks gestational age (mean, 22.4 weeks) were studied. These were obtained following spontaneous intrauterine deaths (n = 4), miscarriages (n = 4), and elective mid-trimester terminations (n = 92), eight of which were fetuses with malformations from HIV-1-positive pregnancies. Coded DNA extracts from the fetal thymuses were tested blindly by polymerase chain reaction in three laboratories using a total of six different primer pairs. RESULTS Two thymuses tested positive [95% confidence interval (Cl), 0.2-7]. Results from the three laboratories were consistent in all 100 cases. The two fetuses with HIV in the thymus both tested positive in other organs, demonstrating systemic HIV infection. The first fetus, whose mother had advanced AIDS, had died in utero and had diffuse toxoplasmosis. The second died following extremely premature delivery in a pregnancy complicated by repeated bleeding. HIV infection was observed in none of the 92 fetuses that resulted from elective mid-trimester terminations (95% Cl, 0-4). CONCLUSION The frequency of early in utero HIV infection appears to be low, compared with transmission rates in infants born to HIV-1-infected mothers, suggesting that transmission occurs mostly later in pregnancy and/or at delivery. Specific risk factors may have implications in the occurrence of early as opposed to late transmission.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the frequency of dual HIV-1 and HIV-2 DNA sequences in patients with dual serological profiles. DESIGN We tested 40 samples from AIDS patients living in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. METHODS Dual serological reactivity was determined by double Western blot and two enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays with recombinant proteins and synthetic peptides as antigens. The Western blot was considered to show dual reactivity when sera reacted with at least two glycoproteins and one core protein of each virus. HIV DNA sequences were detected by hybridization to radiolabelled probes of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products amplified using specific primers. RESULTS Both HIV-1 and HIV-2 DNA sequences were detected in four out of 11 samples with a dual serological profile and in four out of 24 samples with anti-HIV-1 antibodies only. CONCLUSION These results show that dual HIV-1 and HIV-2 serological profiles are not always due to infection by both viruses, and emphasize the need for a combination of serological and PCR assays for the appraisal of these viral infections.

Abstract
Because human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can be transmitted as cell-free virus or as infected cells (cell-associated virus), vaccines must protect against infection by both viral forms. Vaccine-mediated protection of nonhuman primates against low doses of cell-free HIV-1, HIV-2, or simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) has been demonstrated. It is now shown that multiple immunizations of chimpanzees with HIV-1 antigens protected against infection with cell-associated virus. Protection can persist for extended periods (one animal had not been exposed to viral antigens for 1 year before challenge). These results show that it is possible to elicit long-lasting protective immunity against cell-associated HIV-1.

Abstract
The mammalian fetus has been viewed as an unusually successful type of "allograft" and "unexplained" spontaneous abortion as a possible example of maternal rejection. Previous studies have shown the presence of small lymphocytic suppressor cells in the murine decidua which block the generation and reactivation of anti-paternal cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and lymphokine-activated killer cells (LAK) by elaborating a factor that inhibits the response to interleukin 2 (IL 2). A deficiency of these suppressor cells was associated with implants of xenogeneic Mus caroli embryos in the Mus musculus uterus which are infiltrated by maternal lymphoid cells and aborted. We have also shown a deficiency of such suppressor cells in the lymph nodes draining the uterus of CBA/J females in the process of aborting their semi-allogeneic CBA X DBA/2 F1 progeny. CBA/J females possess significantly lower levels of decidua-associated non-T suppressor cells on day 8.5 to 10.5 of allopregnancy than do mothers that will produce large litters of live babies. The F1 embryos are infiltrated by maternal lymphocytes prior to abortion, and the infiltration and abortion rate appears to be augmented by pre-immunization with paternal DBA/2 spleen cells. Susceptibility to spontaneous abortion is dependent upon maternal age and strain of male mate, and the high abortion rate of CBA/J mated to DBA/2 males can be reduced by immunization with BALB/c spleen cells. The CBA/J x DBA/2J mating combination provides a model of spontaneous abortion in which immunologic factors play an important role and demonstrates that the association between deficiency of decidua-associated suppressor cells and xenopregnancy failure also holds true for the failure of allopregnancies resulting from natural within-species mating.

Abstract
Previous studies of the immunoregulatory activity of thymocytes from SJL/J mice have shown loss of suppressor activity for the antibody response by 24 weeks of age with appearance of helper activity. At the same time, suppressor cells developed which inhibit the generation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). We now show a similar pattern of helper and suppressor activity in MRL/Mp mice. Presence of the lpr/lpr genotype significantly accelerated the onset of these changes in thymocyte activity. A similar pattern of thymocyte activity was not detected in C57B1/6 mice. In aged MRL-lpr mice, evidence of increased suppressor cell activity for the CTL response could be demonstrated in spleen, and the suppressor was sensitive to treatment with anti-thy 1.2 + complement. The magnitude of the deficiency in the CTL response in MRL-lpr mice was greater than could be accounted for by suppressor cell activity alone. Measurement of the frequency of CTL precursors (CTLP), the yield of CTL per CTLP, and the ability to produce and to respond to interleukin 2 (IL-2) indicated that a drop in CTLP frequency, subnormal generation of IL-2, and probably an intrinsic defect in the responsiveness of MRL-lpr CTLP to IL-2 was contributing to the defective CTL response. We were not able to link suppressor T cells with reduced responsiveness to IL-2. Ageing involves different patterns of change in immunoregulatory T-cell subsets in different strains of mice, depending on their genetic constitution. The general implications of this conclusion for prediction of immune dysfunction with age in genetically distinct members of an outbred population are discussed.

Abstract
Abstract
The mammalian fetus expresses a variety of antigens against which the maternal immune system can react and which in an allogeneic mating bears paternal transplantation antigens. Although these antigens may be expressed on the fetal trophoblast cells that contact maternal uterine decidua, the "fetal allograft" is not usually rejected. Previous studies have demonstrated the presence of nonspecific non-thymus-derived suppressor cells in the lymph nodes draining the uterus and in decidua of laboratory mice undergoing first allogeneic pregnancy. These suppressor cells appeared to be small lymphocyte cells that inhibit the generation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in vitro and in vivo and elaborate a nonspecific non-MHC-restricted soluble suppressor activity when cultured for 48 hours at 37 degrees C in vitro. We now report that soluble suppressor activity obtained from the decidua (DS) of allopregnant C3H/HeJ mice inhibits both the primary and secondary (memory) CTL response in vitro but does not inhibit lysis of target cells by preformed CTL. DS did not suppress the proliferation of YAC lymphoma cells, P-815 cells, or a C3H placental trophoblastoma line. Suppressor activity was obtained from anti-thy-1.2 + complement-resistant cells in the decidua, could also be obtained from the decidua of allopregnant CD1 nu/nu mice, and was associated with a single peak of activity of approximately 100,000 daltons on Sephacryl 200 chromatography. Suppression could not be overcome by adding either crude or HPLC-purified IL 2 to the mixed lymphocyte cultures in vitro, and both crude and column-purified suppressor factor inhibited the IL 2-dependent proliferation of H-Y cells (a cloned T cell line with NK activity). Furthermore, DS inhibited the IL 2-dependent generation of cytotoxic effector cells in vitro in the absence of allogeneic stimulator cells. Thus, a soluble suppressor factor obtained from non-T cells present in the decidua of successfully allopregnant mice could block the response to IL 2 and inhibit the generation of both specific and nonspecific cytotoxic effector cells. The significance of this inhibition with respect to survival of the "fetal allograft" is discussed.

Abstract
The mammalian fetus expresses a variety of antigens against which the maternal immune system can react and which in an allogeneic mating bears paternal transplantation antigens. Although these antigens may be expressed on the fetal trophoblast cells that contact maternal uterine decidua, the "fetal allograft" is not usually rejected. Previous studies have demonstrated the presence of nonspecific non-thymus-derived suppressor cells in the lymph nodes draining the uterus and in decidua of laboratory mice undergoing first allogeneic pregnancy. These suppressor cells appeared to be small lymphocyte cells that inhibit the generation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in vitro and in vivo and elaborate a nonspecific non-MHC-restricted soluble suppressor activity when cultured for 48 hours at 37 degrees C in vitro. We now report that soluble suppressor activity obtained from the decidua (DS) of allopregnant C3H/HeJ mice inhibits both the primary and secondary (memory) CTL response in vitro but does not inhibit lysis of target cells by preformed CTL. DS did not suppress the proliferation of YAC lymphoma cells, P-815 cells, or a C3H placental trophoblastoma line. Suppressor activity was obtained from anti-thy-1.2 + complement-resistant cells in the decidua, could also be obtained from the decidua of allopregnant CD1 nu/nu mice, and was associated with a single peak of activity of approximately 100,000 daltons on Sephacryl 200 chromatography. Suppression could not be overcome by adding either crude or HPLC-purified IL 2 to the mixed lymphocyte cultures in vitro, and both crude and column-purified suppressor factor inhibited the IL 2-dependent proliferation of H-Y cells (a cloned T cell line with NK activity). Furthermore, DS inhibited the IL 2-dependent generation of cytotoxic effector cells in vitro in the absence of allogeneic stimulator cells. Thus, a soluble suppressor factor obtained from non-T cells present in the decidua of successfully allopregnant mice could block the response to IL 2 and inhibit the generation of both specific and nonspecific cytotoxic effector cells. The significance of this inhibition with respect to survival of the "fetal allograft" is discussed.

Abstract
Decidual suppressor cells have been found in the murine system. These cells are absent at the implantation sites of interspecies mouse embryos which become infiltrated by maternal cytotoxic cells. Suppression is also deficient at the sites of the spontaneous resorption of fetuses in allomated intraspecies pregnancies. This study was carried out to determine whether similar suppressor cells were present in the decidua during successful human allopregnancies. Decidua was obtained from gestations of 13 to 15 weeks and from term gestations, and the lymphocytes were tested for their ability to suppress the response of their peripheral blood lymphocytes to concanavalin A. Eight of eight 13- to 15-week decidual lymphocytes proved to be suppressive. At term seven of twelve lymphocyte preparations at a lower concentration of cells and six of seven at a higher concentration showed suppression. Suppressor cells appear to be present in human decidua and may play a role in preventing maternal immunologic attack on the allogenic embryo, thereby preventing spontaneous abortion.

Abstract
An epidemiological study was made on 100 children 5 to 18 years old, from the Paris region, who showed precocious gingival pathology. Then, the various factors, liable to prevent such defects before the point of no return is reached, were investigated. They are hygiene and its type and frequency. The responsibility lies with the dental profession, educators and public dental health services.
