 * Impossible to say really. Do the items re-appear when you switch to Twenty Eleven?

 * Well this confirms that it’s a theme issue. Themes can (and sometimes do) impact
   on the Admin area of a site. Unfortunately, there’s no specific answer I can 
   give that will help you track this down – other than to suggest that you start
   by removing all javascript and jQuery from the theme.

 * Well, supposing this work. I still need to use JQuery in my wordpress themes,
   how?
 * Or can you help answering my question on other topic:

 * Add this to your theme’s functions.php:
 * `register_nav_menu( 'primary', __( 'Primary Menu', 'yourthemename' ) );`
