Health assessment of French university students and risk factors associated with mental health disorders.

Objective: The first year of university is a particularly stressful period and can impact academic performance and students' health. The aim of this study was to evaluate the health and lifestyle of undergraduates and assess risk factors associated with psychiatric symptoms.

Materials And Methods: Between September 2012 and June 2013, we included all undergraduate students who underwent compulsory a medical visit at the university medical service in Nice (France) during which they were screened for potential diseases during a diagnostic interview.

Role of graft interleukin-10 expression in the tolerogenicity of neonatal skin allografts.

Background: Allografts of skin from neonatal donors survive longer than those from adult donors and can induce tolerance in mice that are treated with short-term immunosuppression. Neonatal (< or =24 hr old) epidermal cells (EPC) secrete high levels of interleukin-(IL) 10 and include abundant class II- immature Langerhans cells (LC). In this study, the role of IL-10 in the tolerogenicity of neonatal skin grafts was examined.

Requirement for early donor cell chimerism during prolonged survival of murine skin allografts.

Background: Posttransplantation infusion of donor bone marrow cells (BMC) can prolong allograft survival in antilymphocyte antibody- (ALA) treated recipients. This study examined the hypothesis that chimerism of donor BMC origin contributes to allograft unresponsiveness.

Methods: Survival of day 0 skin grafts from C3H (H2k) donors was prolonged on ALA-treated B6AF1 mice by day +7 infusion of BMC from C3H or C3H-H2o2 (H2K(d)I(d)D(k)) mice.
