Effect of biogenic polyamines on sliding motility of mycobacteria in the presence of antibiotics by I. V. Tsyganov, A. G. Tkachenko

“…Some mycobacteria are able to colonize surfaces, including tissues of macro-organisms, using glycopeptidolipids localized in the cell envelope for this aim. This is a serious problem for effective therapy of mycobacteriosis caused by nontuberculosis mycobacteria. …”

Les bibliothèques : des identités-palimpsestes by Géraldine Sfez

“…Le désir latent, en attente, de la lecture se révèle aussi important que la mémoire des choses lues.C’est sur cette double dimension de mémoire et de projection, propre aux bibliothèques personnelles, que nous voudrions mettre l’accent afin de montrer que si la bibliothèque peut esquisser une identité, celle-ci se donne sous la forme non pas claire et transparente d’un portrait, mais sous celle complexe d’une identité qui se construit dans le temps, d’une identité-palimpseste.…”

Reactive Oxygen Species Donors Increase the Responsiveness of Dorsal Horn Neurons and Induce Mechanical Hyperalgesia in Rats by Hee Young Kim, Inhyung Lee, Sang Woo Chun, Hee Kee Kim

“…Following treatment with t-BOOH (OH∙ donor), dorsal horn neuron responses to mechanical stimuli in normal rats and the changes of neuronal excitability were explored on substantia gelatinosa (SG) neurons using whole-cell patch clamping recordings. Intrathecal administration of t-BOOH or NaOCl (OCl- donor), but not H2O2, significantly decreased mechanical thresholds of hind paws. …”
