Genitourinary syndrome of menopause in patients with breast cancer treated by hormonotherapy: women's perception in ITAC, a French web-based survey.

Objective: To describe frequency, intensity and impact of genito-urinary syndrome of menopause (GUSM) in breast cancer (BC) survivors receiving hormonotherapy (HT).

Methods: Web-based survey hosted on the Seintinelles website (database of patients and caregivers). Specific questionnaire of 43 questions, including sociodemographic characteristics, history of BC, characteristics of HT, side effects other than GUSM, symptoms of GUSM (frequency, intensity, treatment, and impact) and overall expectations regarding treatment.

Cloning and Expression of Cockroach α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Subunit.

Understanding insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subtypes is of major interest because they are the main target of several insecticides. In this study, we have cloned a cockroach Pameα7 subunit that encodes a 518 amino acid protein with futures typical of nAChR subunit, and sequence homology to α7 subunit. Pameα7 is differently expressed in the cockroach nervous system, in particular in the antennal lobes, optical lobes and the mushroom bodies where specific expression was found in the non-compact Kenyon cells.

Neonicotinoid insecticides differently modulate acetycholine-induced currents on mammalian α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.

Background And Purpose: Neonicotinoid insecticides are described as poor agonists of mammalian nicotinic ACh receptors. In this paper, we show that their effects on mammalian nicotinic receptors differ between compounds.

Experimental Approach: Two-electrode voltage-clamp electrophysiology was used to characterize the pharmacology of three neonicotinoid insecticides on nicotinic α7 receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes.
