Evaluation of Glucose Uptake in Normal and Cancer Cell Lines by Positron Emission Tomography by Francesca Maddalena, Giacomo Lettini, Rosj Gallicchio, Lorenza Sisinni, Vittorio Simeon, Anna Nardelli, Angela Assunta Venetucci, Giovanni Storto, Matteo Landriscina

“…Thus, this study was designed to compare PET to more standardized methods for the quantitative assessment of glucose uptake in nontransformed and transformed living cells and to validate PET for metabolic studies in vitro. Human colon and breast carcinoma cell lines and mouse embryo fibroblasts were evaluated for [ 18 F]fluorodeoxyglucose ([ 18 F]FDG) uptake by PET and autoradiography and 2-deoxyglucose (2-DG) incorporation by colorimetric assay and analyzed for the radiotoxic effects of [ 18 F]FDG and the expression levels of glucose transporters. …”

Relations entre l’estime de soi et l’état de santé « objectif » des aînés by Enguerran Macia, Gilles Boëtsch, Nicole Chapuis-Lucciani

“…In spite of several studies on self-esteem covering the human life-span, the relation between self-esteem, aging and health remains incompletely explored, particularly in the French population.The objective of this study is twofold: (1) to assess the relation between self-esteem and socio-demographic factors, notably age, among older French adults, and (2) if, as is presumed, advancing age is associated with lower self-esteem, to test the mediating effect of chronic diseases and physical incapacities on the relation between age and negative self-esteem.For this, 400 older adults living in Marseille, aged from 60 to 92, were individually interviewed (average duration: 1 h 30).In this sample, age, place of residence and educational level were associated with self-esteem. …”
