Amade OUEDRAOGO Joseph BOUSSIM Jean-Didier ZONGO, Sita GUlNKO
Les travaux de ces dix demieres annees revelent l'existence d'au mains deux taxons specifiques ou subspecifiques de Borassus L. en Afrique de l'Ouest Toutefois Wat actuel des connaissances de leur diversire biologique reste precaire et confus. Desprospections et des collectes de mareriel biologique effectuees dans les peuplements de l'est et d(...)

Epidemiology of bacterial resistance in gastro-intestinal pathogens in a tropical area
Giovanni Bonfiglio, Jacques Simporè, Salvatore Pignatelli, Salvatore Musumeci, Maria Letizia Solinas
During 1999-2000 a total of 4131 faecal specimens were collected and analysed at the medical centre St. Camille at Ouagadougou. Eight hundred and twenty-six (8.0%) grew significant bacteria. Escherichia coli (35%), Salmonella spp. (15%) and Shigella spp. (10%) were most frequently isolated. A large number of E. coli strains were resistant to a(...)

Plasma levels of interleukin-12 (IL-12), interleukin-18 (IL-18) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) in Plasmodium falciparum malaria
Lucia Malaguarnera, Salvatore Pignatelli, Jacques Simporè, Mariano Malaguarnera, Salvatore Musumeci
The interaction between pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 12 (IL-12), interleukin 18 (IL-18) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) may play an important role in malaria pathogenesis and outcome. IL-18 cooperates with IL-12 in the IFN-gamma production by T, B, and NK cells, and synergizes with IL-12 for IFN-gamma(...)

Plasma levels of interleukin-18 and interleukin-12 in Plasmodium falciparum malaria
Lucia Malaguarnera, Salvatore Pignatelli, Maria Musumeci, Jacques Simporè, Salvatore Musumeci
Interleukin (IL)-18 produced primarily by mononuclear phagocytes synergizes with IL-12 for interferon-gamma production from T, B and natural killer cells. It has been also demonstrated that, in Plasmodium falciparum malaria, IL-18 could have an immunoregulatory function. The aim of this study was to detect the plasma levels of IL-12 and IL-18,(...)

Sur un problème de type elliptique parabolique non linéaire
S. Ouaro, H. Touré
We study the general equation b(u)t=a(u,φ(u)x)x+f of elliptic-parabolic type. Using the theory of evolution equation governed by an accretive operator, we establish existence and uniqueness of mild solutions to the associate Cauchy problem, under general assumptions on the data. With an additional structural condition of Alt-Luckhauss type, we(...)

Comparison of content in Phenolic compounds, polyphenol oxidases and peroxidases in grains of fifty sorghum varieties from Burkina Faso.
DICKO Mamoudou. H., HILHORST, R., GRUPPEN, H., TRAORE, A. S., LAANE, C., van BERKEL, W. J. H. and VORAGEN, A. G. J.
Analysis of fifty sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] varieties used in Burkina
Faso showed that they have different contents of phenolic compounds, peroxidase (POX),
and polyphenol oxidase (PPO). Most of the varieties (82%) had a tannin content less than
0.25% (w/w). POX specific activity was higher than the monophenolase and o-diphenola(...)

Mother-child transmission of hepatitis B virus in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
D. Ilboudo, A. Sawadogo, J. Simporé
A prospective study was conducted during July-September 1999 of 299 pregnant women (aged 15-43 years; mean age 25.3 years), attending a medical centre in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, to determine the incidence of mother-child transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV). The presence of HBV antigens was tested for by enzyme immunoassay. The infants o(...)

Increased levels of interleukin-12 in Plasmodium falciparum malaria: correlation with the severity of disease
Lucia Malaguarnera, Rosa Maria Imbesi, Salvatore Pignatelli, Jacques Simporè, Mariano Malaguarnera, Salvatore Musumeci
Interleukin (IL)-12, produced by mononuclear phagocytes, activates the T-helper 1 (Th1) cells and helps, as a mediator, the innate immune response to intracellular microbes. In Plasmodium falciparum infection, this proinflammatory cytokine has immunoregulatory functions with effects on the immune response to the blood stage of disease, but als(...)

Etude d’une équation elliptique associée à un problème parabolique-elliptique non linéaire
S. Ouaro, H. Touré
We study the general equation b(u)−a(u,φ(u)x)x=f of second order elliptic type, which may degenerate onto a first order equation for some value of u. We introduce for that a notion of entropy type solution for the elliptic problem. We define an L1 operator associated to the equation. We show that the operator is accretive in L1, with dense dom(...)

La traduction du moore au français : le cas du recueil contes du pays des moose : l’oralité africaine au service de l’écrit français
Alain Joseph Sissao
Le nom « Burkina Faso » vient à la fois du moore et de la langue dioula (« Burkina », qui signifie « Patrie des hommes justes » et « Faso » signifie « terre de nos ancêtres »). Autrefois, on appelait ce pays « Haute-Volta », en référence aux fleuves qui irriguent le territoire. Le Burkina Faso compte une soixantaine d'ethnies d'importance numé(...)

Zymography of Monophenolase and o-Diphenolase Activities of Polyphenol Oxidase
DICKO Mamoudou. H., HILHORST, R., GRUPPEN, H., LAANE, C., van BERKEL, W. J. H. and VORAGEN, A. G. J
A new procedure for the zymography of monophenolase and o-diphenolase activities of polyphenol oxidase (PPO), and peroxidase (POX) is proposed using a highly sensitive, chromogenic nucleophile 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone (MBTH), which traps quinones. The procedure allowed the distinction between PPO isoenzymes from sorghum and mushr(...)

Modification in the frequency of Hb C and Hb S in Burkina Faso: an influence of migratory fluxes and improvement of patient health care
Jacques Simporé, Salvatore Pignatelli, Sergio Barlati, Salvatore Musumeci
The incidence of hemoglobinopathies (Hb C and Hb S) is relatively high in West Africa. In order to calculate the gene frequency of these hemoglobinopathies, 6619 students from 23 local schools in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, West Africa, and 2582 individuals living in five villages near Ouagadougou, all situated in Savanna, were studied. As expe(...)

Biological and clinical presentation of patients with hemoglobinopathies attending an urban hospital in Ouagadougou: confirmation of the modification of the balance between Hb S and Hb C in Burkina Faso
Jacques Simporé, Salvatore Pignatelli, Sergio Barlati, Salvatore Musumeci
The incidence of hemoglobinopathies (Hb C and Hb S) is relatively high in West Africa. In order to characterize the clinical phenotypes of these hemoglobinopathies 10,166 subjects were studied for suspected hemoglobinopathies at the Laboratory of the Centre Medical Saint Camille (CMSC), Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. A high rate of Hb SC (6.49%) a(...)
