AbstractIntroduction: Primitive extranodal lymphomas are a heterogeneous group of malignant lymphoid hematological developed from the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MATL) or sites that have acquired MALT after repeated stimulation. The particularity of this type of affection reside: the access to diagnosis which is difficult and therapeutic approach which respond to the ATB, antiviral, surgery and RT. They represent 24-48% of lymph node lymphomas and they are increasing. The incidence of lymphoma is growing in the world, it is approximately 16.8 / 105inhabitants. In Algeria in 2012, the incidence of lymph node lymphomas in adults was 2.24 / 100,000. Lymphomas Diffuse large B-cell phenotype (DLBCL) represent 50-60% of lymphomas, it is the most common histological type. Goals of the study: 1-analyze the epidemiological characteristics (gender, age, geographical distribution, annual incidence). 2- Identify anatomical sites. 3- Specify the clinical and prognostic features Patients and methods: It’s is a multicenter, retrospective study over a period between 2010-2014. The study population included all pts over 15 years and having an extranodal DLBCL at 18 hematology centers and 4 cancer centers. Data were collected on data sheets distributed to the various services involved in the study. The diagnosis is made on the histological examination of a biopsy of the affected organ. The clinical, biological and imaging results allowed us to classify and identify prognostic factors for pts. Results: Among 1057 sheets of extranodal lymphomas, the type DLBCL is specified in 562 (53%) cases, distributed in 325 men and 237 women (sex ratio M/F: 1.36). The average age at diagnosis is 51 years (16-88) with a peak in the age group 50-60 years. The overall annual incidence of 0.31/105 inhabitants/year and the specific incidence for patients over 15 years is 0.42 / 105inhabitants/year. PS 0-1: 323 / 543pts (60%). Number of pts (pts) by place of care: Annaba 65, Sétif: 60, CAC Constantine: 53, Tizi Ouzou: 49, Blida Cac: 41, CMPC-hematology: 40, Tlemcen: 30, Beni- Méssous- hematology: 29, CAC CPMC: 24, EHUOran: 23, hematology CAC Batna: 22, CHU Oran: 19, HMRUO: 17, Blida-hematology: 16, HCA:16, SBA: 15, CAC Béni-Messous: 14, EPH Mascara: 10, HMRU Oran: 9, Bejaia: 7, hematology CHU Batna: 2, hematology Cne:1. Number of cases according to anatomical localisation: Stomach: 180, Intestine: 31, Colon 12, Tonsils: 70, Cavum: 31, nasal cavities: 11, Bones: 43, mediastinum: 41, SNC: 29, Skin: 25, Rate / MO :15, Thyroid: 12, soft Parties: 10, Breast: 6, lung / pleural: 5, Liver: 5, Others: 36. The clinical symptomatology is very heterogeneous, specifically of the affected organ. Clinical stage is specified in 549 cases, according to Ann Arbor: SCIE: 272 (49%), SCIIE: 149 (27%), SCIIIE: 31 (6%), SCIV: 97 (18%). The International Prognostic Index adjusted for age (IPIaa) include: for pts less than 60 years: Low (F): 70 (23%), lower intermediate (IF): 130 (43%), intermediate high (IE) : 69 (23%), high (H): 32 (11%); for over 60 years Topics: F: 33 (23%), MI: 53 (37%) IE: 41 (28%), E: 17 (12%). Comments: As with other types of lymphoma, there is a male predominance and a peak incidence in the age group 50-60 years. The higher number of pts in the center and east of the country is probably related to a denser population in these regions. The histological type DLBCL at 53% is in agreement whith what it is conventionally reported. The incidence of 0.31/105inhabitants/year extranodal DLBCL is lower than the overall nodal DLBCL, however, the incidence of extranodal NHL is rarely determined. The number of cases of extranodal lymphomas described in this study is certainly below the actual number because this group of disorders is supported by various specialties related to the location of lymphoma. Extranodal lymphomas has a clinical polymorphism, but it is recognized that gastric and tonsillar locations are the most common, the other despite their rarity, require attention from management. This type of lymphoma is characterized by a preponderance of localized stages unlike ganglion lymphomas where the extended stages predominate. Likewise distribution by IPIaa not exceeding one pejorative factor is more common. Conclusion: Extranodal DLBCL are rare, they are characterized by a diversity clinicopathological that challenges us to homogenization of their treatment in multidisciplinary level. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Etude hydrogéologique et gestion intégrée des eaux de la source de Tinibaouine (Wilaya de Batna -NE Algérien). 2016.
AbstractLa région de Tinibaouine est située au Nord-est de l’Algérie, en bordure Septentrionale des Monts de Batna-Belezma, Elle est caractérisée par un climat de type semi-aride à aride avec une précipitation moyenne annuelle qui n’excède pas 465mm, et une température moyenne annuelle de l’ordre de 22°C. Cette région est caractérisée par la culture de l’abricot comme culture essentielle suivie des olives, dont les parcelles sont toutes irriguées à partir de la source. Il s’agit en effet de 450 Ha d’arbres destinés à l’abricotier et de 108 Ha aux olives. L’émergence naturelle des eaux qui ont pour le réservoir Dj. Refaa situé en contrefort Sud de la plaine de Tinibaouine où émerge la source. Son débit actuel est de l’ordre de 100 à 110 l/s (mesuré en Mars 2015) alors qu’il pouvait atteindre 200 l/s par le passé en 1971. L’objectif de ce travail est de cerner les contraintes naturelles et anthropiques ayant une incidence directe sur l’usage de la source et de chercher le mode de gestion approprié, qui tienne compte non seulement des solutions techniques qui s’inspire également des règles sociales qui régissent l’usage et les conflits qui leurs sont liés.
