The aetiology of sporadic ALS is still unknown. Links with several environmental factors have been suggested, and some epidemiological
studies have shown an increased incidence of ALS in rural populations. This study was designed to investigate risk exposures
in a well-delimited rural population and to assess whether rural residency or occupations, such as farming, were associated
with an increased risk of developing ALS. A prospective case–control-study of 108 sporadic ALS cases matched by age and sex
to 122 controls was performed in Brittany from 2006 to 2008. A strong association was found between agricultural activity
and ALS (odds ratio: 2.919; p = 0.01), while rural residence itself did not influence the risk of the disease. Bulbar forms of onset prevailed among agricultural
workers as compared with other occupations (55 vs. 26%; p = 0.009). These results suggest a potential role of exposure to agricultural chemicals or contact with animals linked to
agricultural work. The prevalence of bulbar forms of onset in agricultural workers has not been reported before. In addition
to variable methodological approaches, differences in agricultural practices could explain the discrepancy between these findings
and other studies. 相似文献

Individuals with ADHD may self-medicate with nicotine, the main psychoactive ingredient in tobacco smoke, in order to reduce symptoms and negative moods associated with ADHD. ADHD medication (e.g., methylphenidate and atomoxetine) may mimic some of the effects of nicotine and may aid smoking cessation in smokers with ADHD. The present study examined if ADHD medication reduces smoking and withdrawal in non-treatment seeking smokers with ADHD. Fifteen adult smokers with ADHD participated in the study, which consisted of an experimental phase and field monitoring phase to examine the acute and extended effects, respectively, of ADHD medication. During the experimental phase, smokers were asked to complete a Continuous Performance Task (CPT) and the Shiffman-Jarvik smoking withdrawal questionnaire during the following four conditions: (1) ADHD medication + cigarette smoking, (2) ADHD medication + overnight abstinence, (3) placebo + cigarette smoking, and (4) placebo + overnight abstinence. During the field monitoring phase, participants were asked to provide salivary cotinine samples and complete electronic diaries about smoking, smoking urge, ADHD symptoms, and stress in everyday life for two days on ADHD medication and for two days on placebo. Results of the experimental phase showed that ADHD medication improved task performance on the CPT and reduced withdrawal during overnight abstinence. During the field monitoring phase, ADHD medication reduced salivary cotinine levels compared to placebo. In addition, the electronic diary revealed that ADHD medication improved difficulty concentrating during no smoking events and stress. The findings of the present study suggest that, along with other strategies, ADHD medication may be used to aid smoking withdrawal and cessation in smokers with ADHD. 相似文献

Both increase in cardiac arrhythmia incidence and decrease in heart rate variability (HRV) have been described following human
and experimental animal exposures to air pollutants. However, the potential causal relationship between these two factors
remains unclear. Incidence of ventricular arrhythmia and HRV were evaluated during and after a 3 h period of Diesel engine
exhaust exposure in ten healthy and ten chronic ischemic heart failure (CHF, 3 months after coronary ligation) Wistar rats
using implantable ECG telemetry. Air pollutants were delivered to specifically designed whole body individual exposure chambers
at particulate matter concentrations similar to those measured inside cabins of cars inserted in congested urban traffic.
Recordings were obtained from unrestraint and unsedated vigil rats. Immediate decrease in RMSSD was observed in both healthy
(6.64 ± 2.62 vs. 4.89 ± 1.67 ms, P < 0.05) and CHF rats (8.01 ± 0.89 vs. 6.6 ± 1.37 ms, P < 0.05) following exposure. An immediate 200–500% increase in ventricular premature beats was observed in CHF rats only.
Whereas HRV progressively returned to baseline values within 2.5 h after exposure start, the proarrhythmic effect persisted
as late as 5 h after exposure termination in CHF rats. Persistence of ventricular proarrhythmic effects after HRV normalization
suggests that HRV reduction is not the mechanism of cardiac arrhythmias in this model. Our methodological approach, closely
reflecting the real clinical situations, appeared to be a unique tool to provide further insight into the pathophysiological
mechanisms of traffic related airborne pollution health impact. 相似文献

IFN-gamma secretion by natural killer (NK) cells is pivotal to several tumor and viral immune responses, during which NK and dendritic cells cooperation is required. We show here that macrophages are mandatory for NK cell IFN-gamma secretion in response to erythrocytes infected with Plasmodium falciparum (Pf), a causative agent of human malaria. In addition, direct sensing of Pf infection by NK cells induces their production of the proinflammatory chemokine CXCL8, without triggering their granule-mediated cytolytic programs. Despite their reported role in Pf recognition, Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2, TLR9, and TLR11 are individually dispensable for NK cell activation induced by Pf-infected erythrocytes. However, IL-18R expression on NK cells, IL-18 production by macrophages, and MyD88 on both cell types are essential components of this previously undescribed pathway of NK cell activation in response to a parasite infection. 相似文献

The HIV (human immunodeficiency virus)/AIDS epidemic is of unprecedented gravity and is spreading rapidly, notably in the most disadvantaged regions of the world. The search for a preventive vaccine is thus an absolute priority. For over 10 years the ANRS (Agence Nationale de Recherches sur le SIDA) has been committed to an original programme combining basic science and clinical research. The HIV preventive vaccine research programme includes upstream research for the definition of immunogens, animal models, and clinical research to evaluate candidate vaccines. In 2004, most researchers believed that it should be possible to obtain partial vaccine protection through the induction of a strong and multiepitopic cellular response. Since 1992, 15 phase I and II clinical trials have been established with the aim of evaluating the safety of candidate vaccines and their capacity to induce cellular immune responses. The candidate vaccines tested were recombinant canarypox viruses (ALVAC) containing sequences coding for certain viral proteins, utilised alone or combined with other immunogens (whole or truncated envelope proteins). An original strategy, based on the use of lipopeptides, is also under development. These vaccines comprise synthetic fragments of HIV proteins associated with lipids that facilitate the induction of a cellular immune response. These approaches have within a short time allowed the assessment of a prime-boost strategy combining a viral vector and lipopeptides. 相似文献

Different cinematographic representations of the sequestration through six films. We are interested here in the motives of the sequestration by classifying them in four groups: ideological mobiles (for an English film, Crying games), erotic mobiles (for an American film, The collector, and a Spanish film, Atame), Psychotic with an American film, Misery, a Mexican film, El castillo de la pureza, an Australian film, finally, Bad boy bubby. We will draw the conclusion that the sequestered do not revolt, thinking that everything is done for their good. 相似文献

The study examined the association between marijuana use, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms, and sleep quality in 56 men and 20 women with ADHD. Participants, ages 18–45, were assessed with the Assessment of Hyperactivity and Attention, drug use survey, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Moderate to strong correlations were found between marijuana use and inattentive symptoms in men, and marijuana use and decreased sleep quality in women. Men and women with ADHD may use marijuana for different reasons. 相似文献
