Effect of anti-HLA antibodies on the long-term survival of heart and kidney allografts.

Abstract: Study of anti-HLA antibodies in a population of 238 primary renal and 199 primary heart allograft recipients showed significant association between development of anti-HLA antibodies and that of chronic allograft rejection. The 5-year renal allograft survival was 70% in recipients without antibodies and 53% in recipients who developed anti-HLA alloantibodies during the first year following transplantation. Heart allograft survival at 5 years was 91% in patients without and 78% in patients with antibodies during the first 12 months posttransplantation. Development of antibodies is associated with acute rejection episodes and probably with the release of soluble HLA antigens.

Law, Autonomy, and Political Community in Plato's Laws

Abstract: A CCOUNTS OF PLATO'S political theory often emphasize the way in which Plato's vision of the state denies the value of the autonomy of the individual.1 Typically, such discussions focus primarily upon the Republic, and do not take into account the distinct conception of political community that Plato develops in the Laws.2 Such a manner of proceeding, I would argue, does not do justice to the radical break between these two texts.3 Indeed, in the Laws Plato explicitly rejects the famous principle enunciated in the Republic concerning the rule of the wisest and best, the philosopher ruler. Such a principle, he concedes, cannot be implemented because only a god would have the qualities necessary for its fulfillment. Any mortal, he argues, will necessarily be corrupted through the exercise of such virtually unlimited authority (713C-14A, 875A-D). What Plato proposes instead of the principle of the rule of the wisest is the rule of law. Only the rule of law, he maintains, can guarantee a just and stable social order. Now, one version of such a legal order would be based upon a conception of law as an essentially coercive force that imposes obedience

Dictionnaire des racines sémitiques ou attestées dans les langues sémitiques

Abstract: Ce dictionnaire donne a chaque semitisant, ne fut-il initie qu'a seul des idiomes semitiques, et meme au linguiste non semitisant, la possibilite sans recherches comparatives preliminaires de replacer tout mot d'une langue particuliere dans l'ensemble du lexique semitique, et de determiner les relations formelles et semantiques qu'il peut avoir avec ceux qui lui sont apparentes dans les autres langues. Chaque racine comme entree est suivie, dans une premiere partie, des formes, transcrites et traduites, qui la representent dans chaque langue. L'ordre dans lequel elles se succedent est, sauf exceptions justifiees, celui-ci: akkadien, ougaritique, amorite, phenico-punique, hebreu, moabite, aramenien (dialectes anciens et modernes), arabe (langue litteraire et dialectes), sudarabique (epigraphique et moderne), ethiopien (gueze, tigre, tigrigna, amharique, argobba, gafat, harari, gourague). Le classement des sens, qui n'a d'autre but que la clarte de la presentation, n'implique aucune prise de position sur les problemes etymologiques. Dans la mesure oA' des donnees de nature etymologique ou historique sont discutees, c'est dans la deuxieme partie de chaque article qu'elles sont introduites. C'est la que sont fournies les references bibliographiques.C'est enfin dans une troisieme partie eventuelle que sont traites les rapprochements nombreux avec les autres branches du chamito-semitique.
