    Notes:
    The metabolic consequences of long-term carbohydrate depletion have been well documented in many sink organs but not extensively in fruit. Therefore, in the present study the response to sugar limitation in tomato fruit (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) was investigated at two developmental stages; during the cell division and cell expansion phases. First, the response in excised fruit cultured in vitro was characterized. Sugar depletion caused an arrest of growth and an exhaustion of carbon reserves. The proteins that were degraded and the nitrogen released was transiently stored as asparagine and glutamine in both developmental stages and also as γ -aminobutyric acid (GABA) in expanding fruit. Fruit at the cell division stage appeared to be more sensitive to sugar limitation. The response to sugar depletion was then characterized in fruit from plants submitted to extended darkness. In planta, the effects of sugar-limitation were similar to those described in vitro but much more attenuated, especially in expanding fruit, which still accumulated dry matter. The expression of cell cycle genes, sugar- and nitrogen-related genes was reduced by darkness. Only asparagine synthetase gene expression was induced in both dark-treated fruit. Together the present data revealed that the effects of the carbon limitation are more pronounced in the youngest fruits as it is probably controlled by the relative sink strength of the fruit.

    Résumé Afin de tenter de déterminer la nature de la structure mécanique de la mandibule, les auteurs ont respectivement comparé, à l'aide de l'interférométrie holographique, le comportement de mandibules fraîches de cadavre, celui d'une équerre métallique représentative et celui d'un bloc de carbone-carbone 3D sous contraintes statiques. Il n'existe aucune similitude entre le comportement de la mandibule humaine et celui d'un acier polycristallin. A l'inverse, celui de la mandibule et celui du carbone-carbone 3D sont très voisins. Il serait prématuré d'affirmer que le matériau osseux est un composite hétérogène. Tout au plus peut-on démontrer, ce qui est une première approche, qu'il a un comportement très voisin, dans des conditions d'expériences identiques et pour des contraintes identiques. Les auteurs ont également démontré que la mandibule présentait un phénomène d'hystérésis mécanique, c'està-dire que soumise à une contrainte très faible, elle se déforme mais que cette déformation ne tend à s'annuler que partiellement et dans le temps.
    Notes:
    Summary In order to try to determine the nature of the mechanical structure of the mandible, the authors have compared, with the help of holographic interferometry, the behavior of the fresh mandible of a corpse, of a representative iron angle, and of a block of carbon-carbon under static constraint. There are no similarities between the behavior of the human mandible and that of a polycrystalline steel. On the contrary, the behavior of the mandible and of the carbon-carbon block are very similar. It would be hasty to state that bones are a heterogenous composite. We can only prove, in a first approach, that they behave similarly under identical experimental conditions. The authors also demonstrated that the mandible presents a “mechanical hysteresis” phenomenon. This means that, when subjected to a small strain, its shape changes, but this change tends to neutralize itself in part in the course of time.

    Résumé A l'aide de la méthode des éléments finis et d'un ≪ modèle modifié ≫, les auteurs ont étudié les déformations d'une mandibule isolée de son contexte musculaire et soumise à des contraintes statiques. Ont été successivement calculés: la déformation générale de la mandibule et ses modifications en fonction de la direction d'application de la charge, les phénomènes de rotation ou de ≪ vrillage ≫ de coupes de mandibules isolées par l'ordinateur, les déformations respectives des corticales interne et externe. Il a été mis en évidence des phénomènes mécaniques singuliers correspondant aux zones où siègent les formes anatomo-cliniques des fractures mandibulaires. Les auteurs en concluent que la mandibule a le comportement mécanique d'un matériau composite 3D très hétérogène.
    Notes:
    Summary The authors have studied the deformations of a mandible isolated from its muscular environment and submitted to statical constraints, with the help of a “modified model” and the finite elements method: the general deformation of the mandible and its modifications according to the direction of the application of the pressure, the rotation phenomenon or “torsion” in cross sections (identified by computer) of the mandible, the respective deformations of the internal and external corticals have successively been calculated. Particular mechanical phenomenons corresponding to the areas where the anatomo-clinical forms of the mandibulary fractures take place have clearly been shown. The authors draw the conclusion that the mandible behaves mechanically in a similar way to a tridimentionnal composite.

    Description / Table of Contents:
    Résumé Les auteurs se demandent s'il existe réellement des poutres et des travées de renforcement au niveau de la calvaria, quelle est, dans l'affirmative, leur correspondance anatomique exacte ainsi que leur rôle exact dans l'inertie de la calvaria. Ils estiment que ce rôle est secondaire hormis pour les piliers frontal et occipital interne. Pour eux, l'inertie de la calvaria doit être attribuée à sa « structure sandwich » avec, cependant, des renforts locaux là où il existe des sur-contraintes. S'ils croient bien à l'existence de certains renforts calvaria-chassis endochondral basicrânien, tels les piliers occipitaux, ils dénient toute réalité anatomique et mécanique au concept des piliers mastoïdiens, le processus mastoïdien étant une structure à « peau » mince et à remplissage aréolaire, dont l'avantage est de donner au m. sterno-cléido mastoïdien et au m. digastrique la plus grande aire d'insertion sur une structure légère.
    Notes:
    Summary The authors question whether strengthening beams and spans for the calvarium really exist and, if so, what are their exact anatomic counterparts and their exact function in the resistance of the calvarium. They opine that this function is of secondary importance except for the frontal and internal occipital pillars. The resistance of the calvarium must rather be attributed to its sandwich structure, with local bracing where the constraints are too severe. While they believe in the existence of such braces as the occipital pillars between the calvarium and the endochondral skull base, they prefer the concept of the mastoid pillars. The mastoid process is a structure with a thin shell and alveolar content, which has the advantage of giving the sternocleidomastoid and digastric muscles a bigger area of attachment to a light structure.

    Résumé Les auteurs ont procédé à la modélisation physico-mathématique à l'aide de la méthode des éléments finis d'un fémur humain sous contraintes statiques en appui unipodal. Trois cas de figures ont été retenus: un fémur isolé, un fémur implanté avec une prothèse sans ciment à queue courte, un fémur implanté avec une prothèse sans ciment à queue longue. Les lignes d'isocontraintes ont été comparées dans les trois cas, de mÊme que les contraintes principales en direction et en intensité. Les auteurs estiment, au vu des résultats, que les prothèses en titane, malgré l'écart entre le module de YOUNG de ces dernières et celui supposé de l'os, sont dans l'état actuel de nos connaissances la meilleure solution en attendant de futures prothèses en un matériau composite qui reste à définir. Bien que l'intensité des contraintes soit sensiblement identique au niveau de l'épiphyse fémorale proximale dans le cas des prothèses à queue courte et dans celui des prothèses à queue longue, il semble que la meilleure solution soit apportée par des prothèses sans ciment exactement adaptées et munies d'une queue courte. En effet, l'introduction d'une prothèse de hanche modifie la courbure naturelle du fémur sous chargement en déplaÇant le centre de celle-ci.
    Notes:
    Summary The authors present a physico-mathematical model of a human femur, under « monopodal » static constraints, using the finite elements method. Three examples are considered: a normal femur, a femur implanted with a short-stem prosthesis without cement, and a femur implanted with a long-stem prosthesis without cement. The lines of isoconstraints were compared in the three examples, as well as the main constraints (direction and intensity). From the results, the authors suggest that a prosthesis made of titanium is currently best even though its YOUNG's modulus differs from that of the bone. A prosthesis of composite material is possible in the future. While the intensity of the constraints is nearly the same at the level of the epiphysis for the short-stem and long-stem prosthesis it seems that the short-stem prosthesis fitted accurately without cement is the best solution. The introduction of a hip prosthesis modifies the normal curve of the loaded femur by changing the center of this curve.

    Résumé A partir de coupes épaisses de la base du crâne et de la face, les auteurs étudient, avec l'œil de l'ingénieur, la structure mécanique de celles-ci, puis comparent, avec l'œil de l'anatomiste, les solutions retenues par la nature à celles choisies par les ingénieurs de l'Aérospatiale pour la conception et l'élaboration des Airbus. Ils en concluent: que les fosses cérébrales antérieure et moyenne, de l'os frontal à la selle turcique, et la face constituent un «ensemble» mécanique indissociable, chaque élément constitutif participant à la rigidité de l'autre et réciproquement; que cet ensemble mécanique doit présenter une rigidité maximale pour un poids minimum, ce qui postule déjà en faveur de solutions aéronautiques éclairant singulièrement les techniques de construction du crâne et de la face. La rigidité et la légèreté de ces dernières sont, en effet, obtenues grâce à des solutions classiques en aéronautique, faisant appel à des poutres à coque mince, mais à remplissage de type nid d'abeille; diploe, analogue à un composite pré-contraint et à structure sandwich; généralisation de «cadres», de «jambes de force» et de «raidisseurs» de tous types, utilisation de «congés» aux points de jonction des jambes de force.
    Notes:
    Summary Using thick sections of the base of the skull and face their mechanical structure is viewed from the engineering aspect and the anatomic solutions evolved are compared with those selected by Aerospatiale engineers for the concept and development of the Airbus. It is concluded that the anterior and middle cranial fossae, together with the face, constitute an inseparable mechanical assembly each of whose component units participate in the rigidity of the others. Since this mechanical assembly must provide maximal rigidity for minimal weight, this suggests that aeronautical solutions should throw much light on the detail of construction of the skull and face. Indeed, the rigidity and lightness of the latter are obtained by means of solutions familiar in aeronautics: the reliance on thin-shelled beams with a honeycomb filling, the diploe analogous to a preconstrained composite or sandwich structure, a system of frames, struts and stiffeners, and the use of fillets at the sites of junction of struts.
