    Abstract Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is principally a mucosal disease and the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is the major site of HIV replication. Loss of CD4+ T cells and systemic immune hyperactivation are the hallmarks of HIV infection. The end of acute infection is associated with the emergence of specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses and the establishment of a chronic phase of infection. Abnormal levels of immune activation and inflammation persist despite a low steady state level of viremia. Although the causes of persistent immune hyperactivation remain incompletely characterized, physiological alterations of gastrointestinal tract probably play a major role. Failure to restore Th17 cells in gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALT) might impair the recovery of the gut mucosal barrier. This review discusses recent advances on understanding the contribution of CD4+ T cell depletion to HIV pathogenesis.

    Abstract Actinide-based mineral phases occurring in contaminated soils can be solubilized by organic chelators excreted by plants, such as citrate. Herein, the efficiency of citrate towards U and Pu extraction is compared to that of siderophores, whose primary function is the acquisition of iron(III) as an essential nutrient and growth factor for many soil microorganisms. To that end, we selected desferrioxamine B (DFB) as an emblematic bacterial trishydroxamic siderophore and a synthetic analog, abbreviated (LCʸ,ᴾʳ)H₂, of the tetradentate rhodotorulic acid (RA) produced by yeasts. Firstly, the uranyl speciation with both ligands was assessed in the pH range 2–11 by potentiometry and visible absorption spectrophotometry. Equilibrium constants and absorption spectra for three [UO₂(DFB)Hₕ]⁽ʰ⁻¹⁾⁺ (h = 1–3) and five [UO₂(LCʸ,ᴾʳ)ₗHₕ]⁽²⁺ʰ⁻²ˡ⁾⁺ (−1 ≤ h ≤ 1 for l = 1 and h = 0–1 for l = 2) solution complexes were determined at 25.0 °C and I = 0.1 M KNO₃. Similar studies for the Fe³⁺/(LCʸ,ᴾʳ)²– system revealed the formation of five species having [Fe(LCʸ,ᴾʳ)]⁺, [Fe(LCʸ,ᴾʳ)OH], [Fe(LCʸ,ᴾʳ)(OH)₂]–, [Fe(LCʸ,ᴾʳ)₂H], and [Fe₂(LCʸ,ᴾʳ)₃] compositions. Then, the ability of DFB, (LCʸ,ᴾʳ)H₂, and citrate to solubilize either U or Pu from pitchblende-rich soils (soils 1 and 2) or freshly plutonium-contaminated soils (LBS and PG) was evaluated by performing batch extraction tests. U was extracted significantly only by citrate after a day. After one week, the amount of U complexed by citrate only slightly exceeded that measured for the siderochelates, following the order citrate > (LCʸ,ᴾʳ)H₂ ≥ DFB ≈ H₂O, and were comparatively very low. Pu was also more efficiently extracted by citrate than by DFB after a day, but only by a factor of ~2–3 for the PG soil, while the Pu concentration in the supernatant after one week was approximately the same for both natural chelators. It remained nearly constant for DFB between the 1st and 7th day, but drastically decreased in the case of citrate, suggesting chemical decomposition in the latter case. For the Fe-rich soils 1 and 2, the efficiencies of the three chelators to solubilize Fe after a day were of the same order of magnitude, decreasing in the order DFB > citrate > (LCʸ,ᴾʳ)H₂. However, after a week DFB had extracted ~1.5 times more Fe, whereas the amount extracted by the other chelators stayed constant. For the less Fe-rich LBS and PG soils contaminated by Pu, the amounts of extracted Fe were higher, especially after 7 days, and the DFB outperformed citrate by a factor of nearly 3. The higher capacity of the hexadentate DFB to extract Pu in the presence of Fe and its lower ability to mobilize U qualitatively agree with the respective complexation constant ratios, keeping in mind that both Pu-containing soils had a lower iron loading. Noticeably, (LCʸ,ᴾʳ)H₂ has roughly the same capacity as DFB to solubilize U, but it mobilizes less Fe than the hexadentate siderophore. Similarly, citrate has the highest capacity to extract Pu, but the lowest to extract Fe. Therefore, compared to DFB, (LCʸ,ᴾʳ)H₂ shows a better U/Fe extraction selectivity and citrate shows a better Pu/Fe selectivity.

    Abstract The recent identification of a novel human coronavirus responsible of a SARS-like illness in the Middle-East a decade after the SARS pandemic, demonstrates that reemergence of a SARS-like coronavirus from an animal reservoir remains a credible threat. Because SARS is contracted by aerosolized contamination of the respiratory tract, a vaccine inducing mucosal long-term protection would be an asset to control new epidemics. To this aim, we generated live attenuated recombinant measles vaccine (MV) candidates expressing either the membrane-anchored SARS-CoV spike (S) protein or its secreted soluble ectodomain (Ssol). In mice susceptible to measles virus, recombinant MV expressing the anchored full-length S induced the highest titers of neutralizing antibodies and fully protected immunized animals from intranasal infectious challenge with SARS-CoV. As compared to immunization with adjuvanted recombinant Ssol protein, recombinant MV induced stronger and Th1-biased responses, a hallmark of live attenuated viruses and a highly desirable feature for an antiviral vaccine.

    Abstract Multiparametric toxicology research is mainly based on immunochromatography [IC] and chromatography methods. A new automated method using an immunoenzymatic (IE) assay based on a biochip array technology combines short turning around time and analytical performances close to chromatography in terms of positivity cut-off. The aim of our study was to compare IE versus IC and chromatography methods using urines samples from clinical cases. Seventy-two samples were analyzed by IC (amphetamines, opiates, benzodiazepines, THC, methadone, cocaine), IE and chromatography (previous classes plus opioids and cathinone). Immunochromatography results were read by at least 7 operators to assess reading subjectivity. Immunoenzymatic, IC, and chromatrography results were compared with each other. Chromatographic quantification was analyzed to understand discrepancies. Significant discrepancies (29-64%) were observed between IC and IE for most of the drug families investigated except for benzodiazepines, methadone and opiates. These discrepancies were not identified between IE and chromatography, except for some substances (28% to 67% discrepancies for buprenorphine, tramadol and oxycodone, 100% for cathinone). In contrast to IC, the performance of IE approached those of chromatography, except for some substances for which cross-reactions must be investigated. Reading discrepancies were frequent with IC (33% of samples) and made robust result output challenging. In conclusion, the Multistat® is an interesting method for first-line toxicological screening for laboratories without chromatography method.

    Abstract Recently, rosé ciders and pink apple juices, appeared as a real opportunity to diversify the offer. Juices obtained from red-fleshed apple varieties were used to study the impact of raw material on colour intensity and stability. Juices prevented from oxidation were compared to the corresponding oxidised juices. Juice colours were measured in the CIE Lab space. Polyphenoloxidase activity and pH were measured. Detailed phenolic composition, including anthocyanins, was characterised by reversed phase HPLC coupled to UV-visible and MS detection. Red-fleshed apple varieties revealed great variation regarding red colour intensity of the juice and its enzymatic oxidative degradation. Statistical classification of juices highlighted three behaviours regarding colour and colour degradation; (i) highly coloured juices resistant to colour degradation, (ii) red juices that shifted to orange-yellow colour and (iii) red juices that became pale. No factor could explain alone, nor the classification of juices, nor the oxidation of anthocyanin. Colour degradation must be considered as a multifactorial evolution. Results suggested that PPO activity, pH, concentration of PPO favourite substrates are among the main factors involved, but the amount of the other polyphenols (dihydrochalcones, catechins and procyanindins) must also be taken into account.

    Abstract We investigate the optical behaviors of metallic nanoparticle (MNP) chains supporting localized surface plasmon (LSP) for different distances between particles. MNPs are excited through the fundamental TE mode of a silicon waveguide. Finite difference time domain (FDTD) calculations and optical power transmission measurements reveal three different behaviors. For short distances between particles, dipolar coupling occurs, and the MNP chain behaves as a waveguide. For the longest distances, nanoparticles are uncoupled, and the MNP chain acts as a LSP Bragg grating. Finally, for intermediate distances, we observe one behavior at a time, i.e. dipolar coupling or LSP Bragg reflection. There is only a small range of wavelengths within which both behaviors can coexist.
