However, it is a potentially dangerous environment for humans. Astronauts' health is closely monitored to ensure they are fit to continue their mission. The conquest of space has also resulted in the development of numerous tools and medicines beneficial for all living beings on Earth.

CD8+ T lymphocytes are a constitutive component of the immune response during the development of cancer. In murine models, the efficiency of various cancer vaccines mainly depends on their ability to induce CD8+ T lymphocytes. Clinical responses in immunotherapy treated cancer patients have been associated with the presence of antitumor specific CD8+ T lymphocytes. In spontaneous regressive melanomas, intratumor antigen specific CD8+ cytotoxic T cells were expanded suggesting their involvement in the tumor shrinkage. Administration of antitumor specific cytotoxic T clones in mice resulted in antitumor responses which directly demonstrated the therapeutic efficiency of these cells. However, in most cases during cancer progression, the presence of antitumor CD8 T lymphocyte is not associated with clinical responses. Intrinsic functional abnormalities of these cells or a defect of CD8+ T cell migration to the tumor may in part explain their failure to inhibit tumor development. On the other hand, tumors also develop immune escape mechanisms (down modulation of tumor antigens, secretion of immunosuppressive factors, expression of anti-apoptotic molecules by the tumors, or pro-apoptotic factors inducing T cell death) to resist to the CD8+ T cell attack. To circumvent these tumor escape mechanisms, efficient cancer vaccines will have to recruit CD8+ T cells associated with other immune effectors.

L'efficacite de differentes approches de vaccinations antitumorales chez la souris a ete directement reliee au role des lymphocytes T-CD8 antitumoraux. Une correlation a ete retrouvee entre une reponse clinique chez des patients cancereux traites par immunotherapie et la presence de lymphocytes T-CD8 diriges contre des peptides tumoraux. Dans certaines situations cliniques privilegiees de tumeurs spontanement regressives, des lymphocytes T-CD8 cytotoxiques intratumoraux ont ete mis en evidence suggerant fortement leur implication dans la regression spontanee de ces tumeurs. Un role plus direct des lymphocytes T-CD8 dans l'elimination des tumeurs a ete egalement demontre par l'efficacite therapeutique de clones T-CD8 cytotoxiques diriges contre differents peptides tumoraux. Cependant, dans la majorite des situations, la presence de lymphocytes T-CD8 antitumoraux est insuffisante pour induire une reponse clinique antitumorale. Certaines anomalies fonctionnelles ou un defaut de migration de ces cellules dans les tumeurs pourraient expliquer ces echecs therapeutiques. Les tumeurs sont egalement capables de developper differents mecanismes d'echappement a l'action des lymphocytes T-CD8 (modulation de l'expression d'antigenes tumoraux, secretion de molecules immunosuppressives, expression de molecules anti-apoptotiques ou favorisant l'apoptose des lymphocytes T-CD8) qu'il convient d'identifier. Ces donnees suggerent que des approches d'immunotherapie capables d'induire des lymphocytes T-CD8 antitumoraux associes a d'autres effecteurs (lymphocytes T-CD4, cellules natural triller, anticorps...) et agissant en synergie permettraient a l'hote de mieux confondre les mecanismes de resistance developpes par les tumeurs.

The detection of CMV-specific CD8 ϩ T cells may therefore provide additional information about CMV virus detection to predict the risk of development of CMV disease, especially in immunodepressed transplant recipients. We compared and tested various experimental conditions to optimize an enzyme-linked immunospot assay (Elispot) assay for the detection of CMVspecific CD8 ϩ T lymphocytes. The indirect Elispot assay with one six-day in vitro sensitization step was found to be the most sensitive method to detect CMV-specific CD8 ϩ T cells compared to direct Elispot with unfractionated peripheral blood mononuclear cells or purified CD8 ϩ T cells. We showed that low doses of interleukin-2 during the in vitro culture enhanced the sensitivity of this test, and tetramer staining was performed to verify the high efficiency of this in vitro stimulation step. We directly loaded the specific CMV peptide during the Elispot assay and demonstrated that the use of T2 cells did not improve its sensitivity. Elispot for the detection of interferon-␥ appears to be more sensitive and reliable than measurement of tumor necrosis factor ␣ or granzyme B. This technique was successfully applied to detect CMV-specific CD8 ϩ T cells in human leukocyte antigen A2 (HLA-A2) and HLA-B7 healthy patients and in one lymphopenic post-transplant patient with positive CMV serology. This highly sensitive test may be a useful tool to assess T-cell immunity directed against CMV in immunodepressed patients.

Of those, 45 made the fi nal assessment stage: the medical examination (MEX). This retrospective, observational study reports exercise and fi tness data, lipid profi les and other results of interest from the blood and urine samples of this niche subpopulation. Methods: All the applicants that reached the MEX completed a Bruce protocol test and a standard blood draw (12 h of fasting, water intake was ad libitum) was collected together with a 24-h urine collection. All the results were compared to either a comparative population or reference range. Results: The applicants had comparable fi tness levels to the 90 th percentile of their age group. The lipid profi les were observed to be within the ' optimal ' or ' desirable ' ranges. Bilirubin and creatinine clearance were measured at 1.2 (6 0.40) mg • dl 2 1 and 131.0 (6 25.81) ml • min 2 1 , respectively, and both were shown to be signifi cantly higher than their respective normative ranges, while urinary creatinine (0.65 (6 0.19) g • L 2 1) was significantly lower than the reference range. Discussion: Overall, the results from the Bruce protocol and lipid profi le show that the fi nal round applicants were in good health and physically active. The most likely cause of the elevated bilirubin and creatinine levels was ' last-minute ' exercise conducted by the fi nal round applicants before the MEX and the low levels of urinary creatinine may be attributed to drinking high quantities of water with an associated hypovolemia, diluting the urine.

Neuro-ophthalmological changes named spaceflight associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS) reported... more Neuro-ophthalmological changes named spaceflight associated neuro-ocular syndrome (SANS) reported after spaceflights are important medical issues. Dry immersion (DI), an analog to microgravity, rapidly induces a centralization of body fluids, immobilization, and hypokinesia similar to that observed during spaceflight. The main objectives of the present study were 2-fold: (1) to assess the neuro-ophthalmological impact during 5 days of DI and (2) to determine the effects of venoconstrictive thigh cuffs (VTC), used as a countermeasure to limit headward fluid shift, on DI-induced ophthalmological adaptations. Eighteen healthy male subjects underwent 5 days of DI with or without VTC countermeasures. The subjects were randomly assigned into two groups of 9: a control and cuffs group. Retinal and optic nerve thickness were assessed with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). Optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) was measured by ocular ultrasonography and used to assess indirect ...
