Opinion publique en Wallonie : composantes et facteurs d'évolution

L'enquête qui a servi de base au rapport reprend après six ans la dynamique d'enquêtes récurrentes initiée entre 1988 et 1991. Il s'agissait de voir comment avaient évolué les sentiments d'appartenance des wallons mais aussi la légitimité de toute une série d'institutions publiques, ainsi que l'évaluation des principales politiques wallonnes, une fois l'institution "région wallonne" établie dans le paysage. Mais l'enquête se ressent du contexte : elle a été réalisée peu de temps après la marche blanche de 1996, qui fut aussi une année de lourdes fermetures d'entreprises. L'ensemble des opinions exprimées s'en ressent fortement. [less ▲]

Intensity Dependence of the Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials as a Surrogate Marker of Central Nervous System Serotonin Transmission in Man: Demonstration of a Central Effect for the 5ht1b/1d Agonist Zolmitriptan (311c90, Zomig)

As shown in animal studies, 5HT1B/D agonists can inhibit activity in the trigeminal nucleus caudalis, which may be advantageous for their antimigraine effect. To demonstrate a possible central nervous system (CNS) action of these compounds in man we studied their effect on the intensity dependence of the cortical auditory evoked potentials (IDAPs), thought to be inversely related to central serotonergic transmission. An amplitude/stimulus intensity function (ASF) slope was computed in healthy volunteers and migraine patients between attacks before and 2 h after oral 311C90 (zolmitriptan "Zomig") 10 mg (n=14), 311C90 5 mg (n=7), sumatriptan 100 mg (n=14), dexfenfluramine 15 mg (n=4), lorazepam 1.25 mg (n=4) and placebo (n=14). 311C90 10 mg and, to a lesser degree, 5 mg significantly increased the mean ASF slope (p=0.007 and 0.05 vs placebo). There was a significant positive correlation between plasma levels of 311C90 and ASF slope changes. Sumatriptan and lorazepam had little effect, but dexfenfluramine produced a significant ASF slope decrease. 311C90 is able to modify a CNS activity that is modulated by serotonin, i.e. the IDAP. This effect is probably the consequence of its superior lipophilicity compared to sumatriptan and of activation of prejunctional 5HT1B/D autoreceptors, which lowers central serotonin release and thus the preactivation level of sensory cortices.

Poly [glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) / methylmethacrylate (MMA)-b-butadiene (B)-b-GMA/MMA] reactive thermoplastic elastomers: synthesis and characterization

New block copolymers of the ABA type, where B stands for polybutadiene (PBD) and A for polyglycidylmethacrylate(PGMA), poly(methylmethacrylate(MMA)-co-GMA) and PMMA-b-PGMA, respectively, have been successfully synthesized by using the diadduct of tert-butyllithium (tert-BuLi) to meta-diisopropenylbenzene (m-DIB) as a difunctional initiator. The PBD midblock has been synthesized in a cyclohexane/diethylether (100/6, v/v) mixture at room temperature, whereas the methacrylate outer blocks have been synthesized in a cyclohexane/diethylether/THF (100/6/150, v/v/v) mixture at -78°C. Block copolymers of a very narrow molecular weight distribution (1.10) have been analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and tensile testing. These materials are phase separated and can exhibit tensile strength up to 22 MPa together with very high elongation at break (1500%). [less ▲]
