Abstract: Let $n,p,k$ be three positive integers. We prove that the rational fractions of $q$: ${\displaystyle }${n �rack k}_{q} {}_3phi_{2} [ . {matrix}q^{1-k},q^{-p},q^{p-n} q,q^{1-n} {matrix}| q;q^{k+1}]quad extrm{and}quad q^{(n-p)p}qbi{n}{k}{q} {}_3phi_2[ . {matrix}q^{1-k},q^{-p},q^{p-n} q,q^{1-n} {matrix}|q;q] ${\displaystyle }$ are polynomials of $q$ with positive integer coefficients. This generalizes a recent result of Lassalle (Ann. Comb. 6(2002), no. 3-4, 399-405), in the same way as the classical $q$-binomial coefficients refine the ordinary binomial coefficients.
