Aim of the study : After macroscopic radical (R0) surgery for advanced gastric carcinoma, 40 to 50% of the tumors recur in the abdomen as locoregional or peritoneal disease. We initiated a protocol in which patients with suspicion of macroscopic serosal, lymphatic or peritoneal invasion, treated with R0 resection, underwent adjuvant HIPEC. Methods : Between June 1998 and January 2003, 16 patients with locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the stomach were included in the study. Surgery consisted of a total gastrectomy with a D2 lymphadenectomy. Splenectomy (n = 1), splenopancreatectomy (n = 4), transverse colectomy (n = 3), left hepatectomy (n = 1), localized peritonectomy (n = 3) were associated to obtain a R0 resection. HIPEC protocol consisted of heated (42.5°C) intraperitoneal mitomycin C (15 mg/m2) for a planned duration of 90 minutes. Results : HIPEC median duration was limited to 73(20-90) min because of central hyperthermia recognition in half of the cases. One patient died in the postoperative period of sepsis secondary to a duodenal fistula. Postoperative morbidity included pancreatic fistula (n = 2), pulmonary oedema (n = 1), pulmonary embolus (n = 1) and transient renal failure (n = 1). UICC staging was IB (n = 2), II (n = 2), IIIA (n = 5), IIIB (n = 1), IV (n = 6). Nine of the 16 patients are alive without recurrence with a median follow-up of 52 months. Four patients developed a recurrence, intraperitoneal (n = 2), systemic (n = 1), or combined (n = 1). Two patients were lost to follow-up. Conclusions : Aggressive surgical therapy and HIPEC might represent the standard of care in a selected population with locoregional disease and for whom a R0 resection can be achieved. This protocol was associated in this study with a 75% 5-year survival with a low peritoneal recurrence rate and an acceptable morbidity. [less ▲]

les débuts de trajectoire professionnelle ressortent comme toujours façonnées par le genre : le positionnement aujourd'hui assez comparable des jeunes hommes et des jeunes femmes à l'entrée dans la vie active ne dure pas. L'avantage est vite repris par le groupe masculin. En cause, pas avant tout les choix personnels des femmes ou des contraitnes familiales mais bien l'offre d'emploi qui leur est faite et la qualité des premiers emplois qui leur sont accesibles [less ▲]

Intracellular invasion of Staphyloccocus aureus in nonphagocytic cells Staphylococcus aureus often causes chronic diseases. It is now believed that recurrence of these infections could be related to the ability of S. aureus to invade and persist within nonphagocytic cells. Adherence to eucaryotic cells is crucial for S. aureus to invade and persist within invasion and depends on interactions between bacterial fibronectin-binding proteins, fibronectin and the host cell fibronectin receptor, integrin alpha(5)beta(1). It is currently established that fibronectin acts as a bridging molecule. Penetration of S. aureus in host cells requires also activation of protein tyrosine kinases that mediate signal transduction and actin polymerization leading to cytoskeletal rearrangements. After internalization, S. aureus either remains in membrane-bound vacuoles or appears free in the cytoplasm. After bacterial proliferation, S. aureus induces host cell apoptosis or persist inside cells as small colony variants, which represent a less virulent subpopulation of S. aureus that grows slower. Although numerous in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated the ability of S. aureus to invade nonphagocytic cells, additional experiments have to be realized to understand the relevance of intracellular localization in vivo.
