Neutrino-nucleus reaction processes play important roles in the synthesis of 7 Li, 11 B, 138 La, 180 Ta and other elements in explosive environments realized in supernovae. We have constructed new shell-model Hamiltonians based on recent progress in the physics of exotic nuclei. The shell evolutions toward driplines and the spin responses of nuclei are found to be remarkably improved by the new Hamiltonians. Proper tensor components in the Hamiltonians are shown to be important for the improvements. We then applied these Hamiltonians to calculate the neutrino-nucleus reaction cross sections, and obtained more precise theoretical estimates of supernova nucleosynthesis of 7 Li, 11 B and 55 Mn etc, including the neutrino processes. Finally, we propose a new method for determining the neutrino oscillation parameter, the mixing angle θ 13 , and the mass hierarchy, by making use of the strong dependence of the yields of 7 Li and 11 B on these parameters.

Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) is a rare and often aggressive T-cell leukemia/lymphoma that has been linked to infection by the human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1). ATLL can involve multiple organs including the respiratory airway. A 53-year-old Trinidadian woman presented with productive cough and progressive shortness of breath. Her past medical history included duodenal strongyloidosis, skin rash, and hypercalcemia. Radiological studies showed increased interstitial markings. Sputum cytology showed atypical pleomorphic, small-to-medium-sized, lobated lymphocytes with irregular and hyperchromatic nuclei resembling "flower cells" which were CD3±/CD20- by immunocytochemistry. A lung biopsy showed interstitial, peribronchiolar, and subpleural infiltration by a CD3±/CD25± atypical lymphocytic infiltrate. Together with peripheral blood findings and positive HTLV-1 serology, the diagnosis of ATLL was made. We suggest that sputum evaluation in patients with ATLL risk factors can be diagnostic.

“…Les manifestations extra-ganglionnaires sont principalement la peau, la rate, l'os, les poumons, la plèvre et le tractus gastro-intestinal [ 2 ]. La présentation endobronchique est une forme clinique rare qui survient chez les patients atteints de formes disséminée, quelques cas seulement sont rapportés dans la littérature [ 3 – 5 ]. L'obstruction bronchique cliniquement significative chez les patients atteints de leucémies est généralement le résultat d'une compression par des ganglions lymphatiques péribronchiques, mais rarement peut être la conséquence d'une occlusion par des lésions lymphomateuses endobronchiques ce qui était le cas chez notre patient [ 1 , 6 ].…”
