Institut des NanoSciences de Paris, CNRS and UPMC University of Paris 06, UMR 7588, 4 place Jussieu, 75005 Paris, France and Laboratoire de Chimie Physique et Microbiologie pour l'Environnement, University of Lorraine and CNRS, UMR 7564, 405, rue de Vandoeuvre, 54601 Villers-lès-Nancy, France.

The adsorption of ethylene on a Si(100)-2×1 surface in an ultrahigh vacuum has been monitored at room temperature by use of real-time surface differential reflectance spectroscopy, which clearly demonstrated that the adsorption follows a two-stage process. About half a monolayer is obtained for 1 L, while the second stage is much slower, yielding the complete monolayer for an exposure of ∼400  L. The kinetics over the full range has been successfully reproduced by a Monte Carlo calculation.

Treatment of Erdheim-Chester disease with long-term high-dose interferon-α.

Department of Internal Medicine, APHP, French Reference Center for Auto-Immune Diseases, Hôpital Pitié-Salpêtrière, and UPMC University of Paris 06, Paris, France.

Objectives: Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD) is a rare non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis, characterized by a foamy CD68+, CD1a- histiocyte tissue infiltration. Efficacy of standard doses of interferon-α-2a (IFNα) has been suggested in a small series but with variation, depending on the organs involved. Our aim was to report our single-center experience about the use of high-dose IFNα in ECD.

Objective: Analysis of changes in blood pressure with a two-year interval, and of factors associated with this change, in a large cohort of elderly individuals.

Methods: Follow-up of a cohort of 9294 individuals aged 65 years and over recruited from the general population for Study 3C. Changes in blood pressure are defined as the difference in its averages between the inclusion visit and the follow-up visit at 2 years.
