AN - 68837759; 16580218 AB - Low-level gamma-ray spectrometry, particularly in underground laboratories, is used to measure radioactivity in diverse close geometries, often placing samples directly on the detector which favours strong cascade summing effects. Monte-Carlo modelling of the efficiency is extended to cascade summing effects from complete decay sequences including positron emitting radionuclides. The effect of geometrical uncertainties on the overall uncertainty is presented. The results reinforce the need for radiography of the detector and inclusion of the detector shielding in the model.

AN - 68123781; 17092363 AB - The randomly amplified polymorphic DNA technique was used to trace the geographic origin of Liposcelis bostrychophila Badonnel populations in Australia from unknown geographic sources internationally. Haplotype (or clonal) diversity was high, with 474 unique haplotypes found from 616 individuals genotyped. Gene diversity estimates (0.10-0.28) and percent polymorphic loci (38.1-88.1%) were moderate to high for most populations. This resulted in genetic distance estimates that ranged from 0.04 to 0.26 and were significantly different for most pairwise population combinations. G ST values for all populations were also moderate (0.04-0.54) and again were significantly different for most pairwise population comparisons. Analysis of molecular variance revealed that the majority of variation was apportioned among individuals within populations regardless of the level at which they were grouped. Gene flow (Nm) was mostly low for all pairwise populations comparisons with an average Nm=1.8. A non-significant negative correlation between genetic distance and geographic distance was found for worldwide populations. In contrast, within Australian populations a significant positive correlation between genetic distance and geographic distance was detected. Genetic relationships explored using unweighted pair group method analysis and non-metric multidimensional scaling indicated a mixed pattern of genetic similarities among all populations. Multiple introductions, from a wide range of international source populations, have obscured the ability to accurately determine the geographic origin of L. bostrychophila in Australia.

When our questions focus on the toxicant, the environmental properties tend to be regarded as marginal and designated as covariates or confounders. Such approaches blur the reality of how the early environment establishes enduring biologic substrates. OBJECTIVES: In this commentary, we describe another perspective, based on decades of biopsychological research on animals, that shows how the early, even prenatal, environment creates permanent changes in brain structure and chemistry and behavior. Aspects of the early environment-encompassing enrichment, deprivation, and maternal and neonatal stress-all help determine the functional responses later in life that derive from the biologic substrate imparted by that environment. Their effects then become biologically embedded. Human data, particularly those connected to economically disadvantaged populations, yield equivalent conclusions. DISCUSSION: In this commentary, we argue that treating such environmental conditions as confounders is equivalent to defining genetic differences as confounders, a tactic that laboratory research, such as that based on transgenic manipulations, clearly rejects. The implications extend from laboratory experiments that, implicitly, assume that the early environment can be standardized to risk assessments based on epidemiologic investigations. CONCLUSIONS: The biologic properties implanted by the early social environment should be regarded as crucial elements of the translation from laboratory research to human health and, in fact, should be incorporated into human health research. The methods for doing so are not clearly defined and present many challenges to investigators.

In this article I examine the contributions of such indoor exposures to overall ozone-related health effects by extensive review of the literature as well as further analyses of published data. FINDINGS: Daily inhalation intakes of indoor ozone (micrograms per day) are estimated to be between 25 and 60% of total daily ozone intake. This is especially noteworthy in light of recent work indicating little, if any, threshold for ozone's impact on mortality. Additionally, the present study estimates that average daily indoor intakes of ozone oxidation products are roughly one-third to twice the indoor inhalation intake of ozone alone. Some of these oxidation products are known or suspected to adversely affect human health (e.g., formaldehyde, acrolein, hydroperoxides, fine and ultrafine particles). Indirect evidence supports connections between morbidity/mortality and exposures to indoor ozone and its oxidation products. For example, cities with stronger associations between outdoor ozone and mortality tend to have residences that are older and less likely to have central air conditioning, which implies greater transport of ozone from outdoors to indoors. CONCLUSIONS: Indoor exposures to ozone and its oxidation products can be reduced by filtering ozone from ventilation air and limiting the indoor use of products and materials whose emissions react with ozone. Such steps might be especially valuable in schools, hospitals, and childcare centers in regions that routinely experience elevated outdoor ozone concentrations.

We suggest that stable isotopic tracers, which have been used widely in the earth sciences and in metabolic and other health-related studies for several decades, could be used to address many of these issues. One such example we are pursuing is the use of stable isotopes to monitor dermal absorption of zinc and titanium oxides in sunscreen preparations and other personal care products. Other potential applications of this tracing approach are discussed.

Although most of the studies on endocrine modulation have been focused on processes involving gonadal steroids, contaminants may target other parts of the endocrine system as well. In this study we examined the adrenocortical stress response and thyroid hormone status in free-living nestling white storks (Ciconia ciconia) in relation to heavy metals (zinc, lead, copper, cadmium) and arsenic levels in blood. METHODS: Fieldwork was conducted in an area polluted by the Aznalcollar mine accident (southwestern Spain) and in a reference site. We used a standardized capture, handling, and restraint protocol to determine both baseline and maximum plasma corticosterone. Circulating levels of thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) were also measured. RESULTS: No effects of metals or As were found on baseline corticosterone, but maximum levels of corticosterone were positively related to Pb in both locations. This relationship was stronger in single nestlings than in birds from multiple-chick broods, which suggests a greater impact of Pb on more stressed individuals. Metal pollution did not affect plasma T4 or T3 levels, although thyroid status differed with location. CONCLUSIONS: Because a compromised hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) function can have far-reaching consequences in terms of altered behavioral and metabolic processes necessary for survival, our results suggest that birds exposed to sublethal Pb levels may be at risk through an altered adrenocortical stress response, and further support the idea that HPA axis-related end points might be useful indicators of metal exposure and potential toxicity in wild animals.

A total of 123 raw meat samples (55 chicken, 37 buffalo, and 31 goat) were collected and analyzed relative to season. Salmonella spp was found in 11.4% (14-123) meat samples. Eight samples of chicken, that is, 14.5%, five samples of buffalo (13.5%), and one sample of goat (3.3%) were found to be positive for Salmonella. Salmonella prevalence revealed Salmonella (S.) pullorum in 3.3% samples, S. gallinarum in 0.8%, S. typhi in 1.6%, S. choleraesuis in 0.8%, and Salmonella of subgenus I or II group in 4.9% samples. More than 80% meat samples microbiologically processed indicated coliform contamination. Seasonal prevalence of Salmonella was highest in the months of April-May.

Little is known about the cooperation of nuclear and chromatin events in programmed differentiation from mouse embryonic stem cells (ESC). To address this, Oct3/4- positive ESC and differentiated progenies, Sox1-positive neural precursor cells (NPC) and post-mitotic neurons (PMN), were isolated using a stage-selected culture system. We first investigated global nuclear organization at the each stage. Chromocenter preexists in ESC, disperses in NPC and becomes integrated into large heterochromatic foci in PMN, while the formation of PML bodies markedly decreases in neural differentiation. We next focused on the gene-dense MHC-Oct3/4 region. Oct3/4 gene is expressed preferentially adjacent to PML bodies in ESC and are repressed in the absence of chromocenter association in NPC and PMN. Histone deacetylation in NPC, demethylation of lysine 4 of histone H3 (H3K4), tri-methylation of H3K27, and CpG methylation in PMN are targeted for the Oct3/4 promoter within the region. Interestingly, di-methyl H3K4 mark is present in Oct3/4 promoter in NPC as well as ESC. These findings provide insights into the molecular basis of global nuclear reorganization and euchromatic gene silencing in differentiation through the spatiotemporal order of epigenetic controls.

Mastitis, on account of its causing serious wastage and undesirable milk quality, is emerging as a major challenge among the others (like breeding improvement, nutrition management, control of infectious, tick-borne, blood, and internal parasitic diseases) in dairy development of tropics. Subclinical mastitis was found more important in India (varying from 10-50% in cows and 5-20% in buffaloes) than clinical mastitis (1-10%). The incidence was highest in Purebred Holsteins and Jerseys and lowest in local cattle and buffaloes. An investigation on 250 animals from periurban farms indicated that the monsoon season was more prone to subclinical mastitis than summer or winter, prevalence increased with higher lactation number and animals in 4th-5th month of lactation were found more susceptible (59.49%), hind quarters were found more affected (56.52%) than fore quarters (43.47%). The factors like herd size, agro climatic conditions of the region, variations in sociocultural practices, milk marketing, literacy level of the animal owner, system of feeding, and management were found important affecting the incidence of subclinical mastitis. Comparison of efficacy of different diagnostic techniques for subclinical mastitis, such as modified California mastitis test (MCMT), bromo thymol blue (BTB), modified whiteside test, trypsin inhibition test, milk pH, and electric conductivity indicated MCMT to be most sensitive (95.16%) and specific (98.02%) test.The antimicrobial susceptibility test revealed that most of the bacterial strains (gram positive, gram negative, and mixed) isolated from subclinical mastitis milk samples, were highly sensitive to enrofloxacin 53.91%, least sensitive to oxytetracycline 17.39% and ampicillin 7.83%, and resistant to streptomycin. The therapy with enrofloxacin and nimesulide was found more efficacious (92.30%) in treating subclinical mastitis cows. It was concluded that consideration of socioecological factors for mastitis control in periurban area would help to reduce the cost of mastitis control in clean milk production.

The extent of laser-induced ablation was found to depend on the doping level and surface chemistry of the porous silicon film. Using direct laser writing with or without a mask, micropatterns were generated on the porous silicon surface. These micropatterns were subsequently used to guide the growth of mammalian cells including neuroblastoma. Excellent selectivity of cell growth toward the laser-ablated regions was established.

The standard mouse bioassay (MBA), receptor binding assay (RBA), mouse neuroblastoma cytotoxicity assay (MNCA), Ridascreen ELISA, MIST Alert assay, HPLC, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) are used to determine the presence of STX, decarbamoyl STX (dc-STX), and N-sulfocarbamoyl (B1) toxin in puffer fish tissues, clonal clusters, and natural bloom samples of Pyrodinium bahamense from the Indian River Lagoon (IRL). Skin mucus of IRL southern puffer fish captive for 1-year is highly toxic compared to STXs in Florida's marine waters and implicates the dinoflagellate P. bahamense as the putative toxin source.

An existing cohort of workers is expanded, considered highly exposed to PCBs at two capacitor manufacturing plants to include all workers with at least 90 days of potential PCB exposure during 1939-1977. Causes of death of a priori interest include liver and rectal cancers. The vital status of the workers through 1998, and cumulative PCB exposure are estimated using a new job exposure matrix. Analysis employs standardized mortality ratios and Poisson regression modeling. It is found that the study shows increased liver cancer mortality.

The numerous target genes of MEF and its biological functions signify the importance of this Ets transcription factor. Here we show that MEF is modified by conjugation with SUMO-1/-2 (small ubiquitin-related modifier) both in mammalian cells and in Escherichia coli overexpressing human SUMO-1/-2. We identified by point mutation that lysine 657 of MEF is the site for sumoylation. This modification down-regulated MEF activity on lysozyme and perforin promoters, and decreased the lysozyme mRNA expression. Chromatin immuno-precipitation analysis revealed that SUMO-conjugation diminished the recruitment of MEF to the lysozyme promoter, which partly explains the down-regulation of MEF activity by SUMO.

A high incidence of lung cancer in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the major reason for poor prognosis in patients with IPF. Objectives and Methods: We immunohistochemically analyzed the formation and localization of 8-nitroguanine in lung tissues from control subjects, patients with IPF, and patients with lung cancer. Main Results: Immunohistochemical analysis of control smoker and nonsmoker lungs showed weak immunoreactivity for 8-nitroguanine, mainly in cytoplasm of bronchial epithelial cells. In addition to the bronchial epithelial cells, metaplastic regenerated epithelial cells overlying dense fibrotic lesions in IPF showed strong 8-nitroguanine staining in the cytoplasm. The staining in these metaplastic cells colocalized with staining of inducible and endothelial NO synthases and 8-oxodeoxyguanosine, as evidenced by double-immunostaining analysis. Confocal and immunoelectron microscopy revealed localization of 8-nitroguanine in metaplastic epithelial cytoplasm, mostly in mitochondria. Appreciable 8-nitroguanine immunostaining was also observed in both nuclei and cytoplasm of malignant epithelial cells in squamous cell carcinoma. No significant difference was found in the epithelial 8-nitroguanine formation between control smokers and nonsmokers, but much higher guanine nitration was observed in patients with IPF than in control subjects and patients with lung cancer, via a quantitative immuno-fluorescence image analysis. Conclusions: The present study indicates that not only oxidative stress but also nitrative stress induced by NO may participate in the pathogenesis of epithelial cell damage and aberrant regeneration occurring in IPF. Thus, guanine nitration may be a major risk factor for lung cancer development in IPF.

We evaluate how well five recent proposals would improve those signals by increasing uniformity of effective tax rates among asset types, between debt and equity financing, between corporate and noncorporate businesses, and between owner-occupied and tenant-occupied housing. We find that three proposals-permanent extension of provisions enacted in 2001 and 2003, permanent extension of partial expensing enacted in 2002, and enactment of the President's proposed lifetime savings accounts-would reduce some distortions but aggravate others. Two other proposals-partial integration and a capped credit for mortgage interest-would reduce some distortions without aggravating others.

Transport of endoplasmic reticulum-derived vesicles to the Legionella-containing vacuole (LCV) requires bacterial proteins that are translocated into host cells by a type IV secretion apparatus called Dot/Icm. Recent observations have revealed recruitment of the host GTPase Rab1 to the LCV by a process requiring the Dot/Icm system. Here, a visual screen was used to identify L. pneumophila mutants with defects in Rab1 recruitment. One of the factors identified in this screen was DrrA, a new Dot/Icm substrate protein translocated into host cells. We show that DrrA is a potent and highly specific Rab1 guanine nucleotide-exchange factor (GEF). DrrA can disrupt Rab1-mediated secretory transport to the Golgi apparatus by competing with endogenous exchange factors to recruit and activate Rab1 on plasma membrane-derived organelles. These data establish that intracellular pathogens have the capacity to directly modulate the activation state of a specific member of the Rab family of GTPases and thus further our understanding of the mechanisms used by bacterial pathogens to manipulate host vesicular transport.

AN - 68628036; 16574046 AB - Face-to-face, structured interviews were conducted with 320 recent cannabis users in New South Wales, Australia to assess the likely deterrent effects of (a) increasing the certainty of apprehension for driving under the influence of cannabis (DUIC) and (b) doubling the severity of penalties for DUIC. Participants were presented with a drug-driving scenario and asked to indicate their likelihood of driving given that scenario. The perceived risk of apprehension and severity of punishment were manipulated in each scenario to create four different certainty/severity conditions and participants were randomly allocated to one of these four groups. A subsidiary aim was to assess the likely impact of providing factual information about the accident risk associated with DUIC. Recent drug drivers who felt at low risk of accident when DUIC were asked to rate their willingness to drive if convinced that it was dangerous. The results suggested that increasing the certainty but not severity of punishment would produce reductions in cannabis-intoxicated driving among recent cannabis users. Providing factual information about the risks associated with DUIC would appear to have little impact on drug-driving rates among this population.

A fundamental understanding of pathophysiologic principles and management strategies is essential for the anesthesiologist frequently responsible for the acute care of patients who have toxicologic exposures. Given their pervasiveness and ability to confound the clinical presentations in the perioperative or intensive care setting, substances of abuse and asphyxiants warrant particular attention and a high degree of vigilance.

The economic importance of remittances has meant that they have primarily been studied as money flows resulting from direct migration. Some attention has been paid to their economic impact at the local, regional and national levels in India. In this article, I argue that sociologists and anthropologists have much to contribute to the study of remittances, as a social phenomenon linked to family and migration. The emergence of a transnational Indian family also means the development of a special kind of transnational family money, where money is equated with or measured against filial care. In the global context of migration, remittances are one of the ways families negotiate shifting arrangements of care, responsibility and security for the young, for women and for the elderly. These perspectives will help develop the sociology of money in India, connecting it to migration, family, marriage and gender relationships.

Until then, he had struggled to establish himself as a scholar and seemed destined to stay, like many other Australian scholars, within the orbit of British academia and its colonial empire. Almost immediately after war had been declared, Stanner returned to Australia, working in various capacities and, in May 1942, commanding the North Australia Observer Unit. In October 1943, he was transferred to the Australian Army's Directorate of Research and Civil Affairs (DORCA). Members of the Directorate saw themselves at the forefront of progressive reform in Australian colonial policy. Stanner opposed what he considered the grandiose plans for a post-war Papua New Guinea that were hatched by the DORCA 'boys', as they called themselves. By the end of the 1 940s, however, control over policy was firmly in the hands of the civil bureaucracy and the new Minister for Territories, Paul Hasluck. Any influence that may have accrued to either Stanner or to the idealism of the 'boys' in the Directorate was lost. Adapted from the source document.

AN - 57650663; 420035 AB - The performance and capabilities of Web search engines is an important and significant area of research. Millions of people world wide use Web search engines very day. This paper reports the results of a major study examining the overlap among results retrieved by multiple Web search engines for a large set of more than 10,000 queries. Previous smaller studies have discussed a lack of overlap in results returned by Web search engines for the same queries. The goal of the current study was to conduct a large-scale study to measure the overlap of search results on the first result page (both non-sponsored and sponsored) across the four most popular Web search engines, at specific points in time using a large number of queries. The Web search engines included in the study were MSN Search, Google, Yahoo! and Ask Jeeves. Our study then compares these results with the first page results retrieved for the same queries by the metasearch engine Dogpile.com. Two sets of randomly selected user-entered queries, one set was 10,316 queries and the other 12,570 queries, from Infospace's Dogpile.com search engine (the first set was from Dogpile, the second was from across the Infospace Network of search properties were submitted to the four single Web search engines). Findings show that the percent of total results unique to only one of the four Web search engines was 84.9%, shared by two of the three Web search engines was 11.4%, shared by three of the Web search engines was 2.6%, and shared by all four Web search engines was 1.1%. This small degree of overlap shows the significant difference in the way major Web search engines retrieve and rank results in response to given queries. Results point to the value of metasearch engines in Web retrieval to overcome the biases of individual search engines.

AN - 57645099; 420034 AB - Multitasking is the human ability to handle the demands of multiple tasks. Multitasking behavior involves the ordering of multiple tasks and switching between tasks. People often multitask when using information retrieval (IR) technologies as they seek information on more than one information problem over single or multiple search episodes. However, limited studies have examined how people order their information problems, especially during their Web search engine interaction. The aim of our exploratory study was to investigate assigned information problem ordering by forty (40) study participants engaged in Web search. Findings suggest that assigned information problem ordering was influenced by the following factors, including personal interest, problem knowledge, perceived level of information available on the Web, ease of finding information, level of importance and seeking information on information problems in order from general to specific. Personal interest and problem knowledge were the major factors during assigned information problem ordering. Implications of the findings and further research are discussed. The relationship between information problem ordering and gratification theory is an important area for further exploration.

The authors use seasonal differences in the survey schedule of the Current Population Survey Food Security supplement to overcome self-selection bias. From 1995 to 2001, the survey alternated between spring and summer. Seasonal differences - higher prevalence of food insecurity in the summer - were greater for households with school-age children than for other households. Among households with school-age children, seasonal differences were greater in states providing small numbers of Summer Food Service Program meals and summertime school lunches than in other states.

Objective Our objective in this study was to assess potential human exposure to bioaerosols in New Orleans after the flooding of the city. Methods A team of investigators performed continuous airborne sampling for mold spores and endotoxin outdoors in flooded and nonflooded areas, and inside homes that had undergone various levels of remediation, for periods of 5-24 hr during the 2 months after the flooding. Results The estimated 24-hr mold concentrations ranged from 21,000 to 102,000 spores/m super(3) in outdoor air and from 11,000 to 645,000 spores/m super(3) in indoor air. The mean outdoor spore concentration in flooded areas was roughly double the concentration in nonflooded areas (66,167 vs. 33,179 spores/m super(3); p < 0.05). The highest concentrations were inside homes. The most common mold species were from the genera of Cladosporium and Aspergillus/Penicillium; Stachybotrys was detected in some indoor samples. The airborne endotoxin concentrations ranged from 0.6 to 8.3 EU (endo-toxin units)/m super(3) but did not vary with flooded status or between indoor and outdoor environments. Conclusions The high concentration of mold measured indoors and outdoors in the New Orleans area is likely to be a significant respiratory hazard that should be monitored over time. Workers and returning residents should use appropriate personal protective equipment and exposure mitigation techniques to prevent respiratory morbidity and long-term health effects.

AN - 21192438; 11530994 AB - Scientists are racing to find new technologies to detect terrorist weaponry. Ideally, these high-tech tools would be fast, accurate, cheap, easy to use, and portable and/or remote. Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory are getting promising results from experiments using "T rays," the terahertz part of the electromagnetic spectrum. These rays have been successfully used to identify explosives and poison gas precursors. Argonne scientists and their partners have also used millimeter-wave radar to detect airborne chemicals and radiation. In addition to their potential in matters relating to security, these methods could also be useful in environmental health applications.

Projects devoted to filling this information gap include the recently launched DHHS Genes and Environment Initiative. A central mission of this and other initiatives is to develop new exposure monitoring technologies to add to the arsenal of sensors and other tools that scientists already use. The data collected through these technologies could link environmental exposures to biomarkers that reflect a physiological response. As the field of personal exposure assessment progresses, however, practitioners must address difficult points around such issues as genetic privacy as well as how findings could translate into regulations.

Using a model cell line in which p53 expression is regulated exogenously in a tetracycline-off system (TR9-7 cells) , our laboratory has shown that arsenite disrupts mitosis and that p53-deficient cells [p53(-)], in contrast to p53-expressing cells [p53(+)], display greater sensitivity to arsenite-induced mitotic arrest and apoptosis. OBJECTIVE: Our goal was to examine the role p53 plays in protecting cells from arsenite-induced mitotic arrest. METHODS: p53(+) and p53(-) cells were synchronized in G2 phase using Hoechst 33342 and released from synchrony in the presence or absence of 5 microM sodium arsenite. RESULTS: Mitotic index analysis demonstrated that arsenite treatment delayed exit from G2 in p53(+) and p53(-) cells. Arsenite-treated p53(+) cells exited mitosis normally, whereas p53(-) cells exited mitosis with delayed kinetics. Microarray analysis performed on mRNAs of cells exposed to arsenite for 0 and 3 hr after release from G2 phase synchrony showed that arsenite induced inhibitor of DNA binding-1 (ID1) differentially in p53(+) and p53(-) cells. Immunoblotting confirmed that ID1 induction was more extensive and sustained in p53(+) cells. CONCLUSIONS: p53 promotes mitotic exit and leads to more extensive ID1 induction by arsenite. ID1 is a dominant negative inhibitor of transcription that represses cell cycle regulatory genes and is elevated in many tumors. ID1 may play a role in the survival of arsenite-treated p53(+) cells and contribute to arsenic carcinogenicity.

Assessing the human health risks of TCE is challenging because of its inherently complex metabolism and toxicity and the widely varying perspectives on a number of critical scientific issues. Because of this complexity, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) drew upon scientific input and expertise from a wide range of groups and individuals in developing its 2001 draft health risk assessment of TCE. This scientific outreach, which was aimed at engaging a diversity of perspectives rather than developing consensus, culminated in 2000 with 16 state-of-the-science articles published together as an Environmental Health Perspectives supplement. Since that time, a substantial amount of new scientific research has been published that is relevant to assessing TCE health risks. Moreover, a number of difficult or controversial scientific issues remain unresolved and are the subject of a scientific consultation with the National Academy of Sciences coordinated by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and co-sponsored by a number of federal agencies, including the U.S. EPA. The articles included in this mini-monograph provide a scientific update on the most prominent of these issues: the pharmacokinetics of TCE and its metabolites, mode(s) of action and effects of TCE metabolites, the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor in TCE toxicity, and TCE cancer epidemiology.

We substituted most of the children's conventional diets with organic food items for 5 consecutive days and collected two daily spot urine samples, first morning and before bedtime voids, throughout the 15-day study period. We analyzed urine samples for five common pyrethroid metabolites. We found an association between the parents' self-reported pyrethroid use in the residential environment and elevated pyrethroid metabolite levels found in their children's urine. Children were also exposed to pyrethroids through their conventional diets, although the magnitude was smaller than for the residential exposure. Children's ages appear to be significantly associated with pyrethroids exposure, which is likely attributed to the use of pyrethroids around the premises or in the facilities where older children engaged in the outdoor activities. We conclude that residential pesticide use represents the most important risk factor for children's exposure to pyrethroid insecticides. Because of the wide use of pyrethroids in the United States, the findings of this study are important for both children's pesticide exposure assessment and environmental public health.

Many coal miners are also exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) components of diesel engine exhaust and cigarette smoke, which may contribute to lung disease in these workers. Recently, apoptosis was reported to play a critical role in the development of another pneumoconiosis of miners, silicosis. In addition, CD was reported to suppress cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) induction by PAHs. METHODS: We investigated the hypothesis that apoptosis plays a critical role in lung injury and down-regulation of CYP1A1 induction in mixed exposures to CD and PAHs. We exposed rats intratracheally to 0.0, 2.5, 10.0, 20.0, or 40.0 mg/rat CD and, 11 days later, to intraperitoneal beta-naphthoflavone (BNF) , a PAH. In another group of rats exposed to CD and BNF, caspase activity was inhibited by injection of the pan-caspase inhibitor Q-VD-OPH [quinoline-Val-Asp (OMe) -CH2-OPH]. RESULTS: In rats exposed to BNF, CD exposure increased alveolar expression of the proapoptotic mediator Bax but decreased CYP1A1 induction relative to BNF exposure alone. Pan-caspase inhibition decreased CD-associated Bax expression and apoptosis but did not restore CYP1A1 activity. Further, CD-induced lung inflammation and alveolar epithelial cell hypertrophy and hyperplasia were not suppressed by caspase inhibition. CONCLUSIONS: Combined BNF and CD exposure increased Bax expression and apoptosis in the lung, but Bax and apoptosis were not the major determinants of early lung injury in this model.

However, at high doses TCDD sequesters in liver because it induces cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) that binds TCDD. A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was developed that included an inducible elimination rate of TCDD in the Sprague-Dawley rat. Objectives of this work were to characterize the influence of induction of CYP1A2 and adipose tissue mass fraction on the terminal elimination half-life (t1/2) of TCDD using this PBPK model. When the model assumes a fixed elimination of TCDD, t1/2 increases with dose, due to hepatic sequestration. Because experimental data indicate that the t1/2 of TCDD decreases with dose, the model was modified to include an inducible elimination rate. The PBPK model was then used to compare the t1/2 after an increase of adipose tissue mass fraction from 6.9 to 70%. The model suggests that at low exposures, increasing adipose tissue mass increases the terminal t1/2. However, at higher exposures, as CYP1A2 is induced, the relationship between adipose tissue mass and t1/2 reaches a plateau. This demonstrates that an inducible elimination rate is needed in a PBPK model in order to describe the pharmacokinetics of TCDD. At low exposures these models are more sensitive to parameters related to partitioning into adipose tissue.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 2001 draft TCE health risk assessment concluded that epidemiologic studies, on the whole, support associations between TCE exposure and excess risk of kidney cancer, liver cancer, and lymphomas, and, to a lesser extent, cervical cancer and prostate cancer. As part of a mini-monograph on key issues in the health risk assessment of TCE, this article reviews recently published scientific literature examining cancer and TCE exposure and identifies four issues that are key to interpreting the larger body of epidemiologic evidence: a) relative sensitivity of cancer incidence and mortality data ; b) different classifications of lymphomas, including non-Hodgkin lymphoma ; c) differences in data and methods for assigning TCE exposure status ; and d) different methods employed for causal inferences, including statistical or meta-analysis approaches. The recent epidemiologic studies substantially expand the epidemiologic database, with seven new studies available on kidney cancer and somewhat fewer studies available that examine possible associations at other sites. Overall, recently published studies appear to provide further support for the kidney, liver, and lymphatic systems as targets of TCE toxicity, suggesting, as do previous studies, modestly elevated (typically 1.5-2.0) site-specific relative risks, given exposure conditions in these studies. However, a number of challenging issues need to be considered before drawing causal conclusions about TCE exposure and cancer from these data.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 2001 draft trichloroethylene (TCE) risk assessment concluded that although PPAR may play a role in liver tumor induction, the role of its activation and the sequence of subsequent events important to tumorigenesis are not well defined, particularly because of uncertainties concerning the extraperoxisomal effects. In this article, which is part of a mini-monograph on key issues in the health risk assessment of TCE, we summarize some of the scientific literature published since that time on the effects and actions of PPARalpha that help inform and illustrate the key scientific questions relevant to TCE risk assessment. Recent analyses of the role of PPARalpha in gene expression changes caused by TCE and its metabolites provide only limited data for comparison with other PPARalpha agonists, particularly given the difficulties in interpreting results involving PPARalpha knockout mice. Moreover, the increase in data over the last 5 years from the broader literature on PPARalpha agonists presents a more complex array of extraperoxisomal effects and actions, suggesting the possibility that PPARalpha may be involved in modes of action (MOAs) not only for liver tumors but also for other effects of TCE and its metabolites. In summary, recent studies support the conclusion that determinations of the human relevance and susceptibility to PPARalpha-related MOA(s) of TCE-induced effects cannot rely on inferences regarding peroxisome proliferation per se and require a better understanding of the interplay of extraperoxisomal events after PPARalpha agonism.

This project raises unique environmental issues: The mine site straddles the border between Chile and Argentina, a portion of the site lies under glaciers, and the site is at a high altitude in a region affected by fairly strong earthquakes. Activists and area residents are concerned that, despite the implementation of state-of-the-art technologies, mining operations could pollute important waterways with acid mine drainage and cyanide. Observers also note that the permits for the project were obtained very rapidly, raising concerns as to how thoroughly environmental considerations were studied and addressed.

The possible consequences of these vulnerabilities echo from the tragedies of the Bhopal incident in 1984 to the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001 and, most recently, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Findings from a 2004 nationwide participatory research study of 125 local union leaders at sites with very large volumes of highly hazardous chemicals suggest that voluntary efforts to achieve chemical plant security are not succeeding. Study respondents reported that companies had only infrequently taken actions that are most effective in preventing or in preparing to respond to a terrorist threat. In addition, companies reportedly often failed to involve key stakeholders, including workers, local unions, and the surrounding communities, in these efforts. The environmental health community thus has an opportunity to play a key role in advocating for and supporting improvements in prevention of and preparation for terrorist attacks. Policy-level recommendations to redress chemical site vulnerabilities and the related ongoing threats to the nation's security are as follows: a) specify detailed requirements for chemical site assessment and security ; b) mandate audit inspections supported by significant penalties for cases of noncompliance ; c) require progress toward achieving inherently safer processes, including the minimizing of storage of highly hazardous chemicals ; d) examine and require additional effective actions in prevention, emergency preparedness, and response and remediation ; e) mandate and fund the upgrading of emergency communication systems ; and f) involve workers and community members in plan creation and equip and prepare them to prevent and respond effectively to an incident.

PARTICIPANTS: We challenged 10 subjects experimentally to degraded PVC products under controlled conditions. All of the subjects had previously experienced respiratory symptoms suspected to be caused by this kind of exposure in their work place. Five subjects had doctor-diagnosed asthma. METHODS: The subjects were exposed to degraded PVC material in an exposure chamber ; a challenge with ceramic tile was used as the control test. We followed exhaled nitric oxide, nasal NO, lung functions, cytokines [tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) , interleukin-4 (IL-4) , IL-6, and IL-12] and NO in nasal lavage fluid (NAL) during and after the exposures. We also measured 2-ethylhexanol in exhaled breath samples and NAL. RESULTS: On the morning after the PVC exposure, subjects reported respiratory tract symptoms significantly more often than they did after the control test (50% vs. 0%, respectively ; p = 0.029 ; n = 10) . We did not detect any changes in lung functions or levels of exhaled NO, nasal NO, or NO in NAL after PVC challenge compared with the control test. Cytokine levels increased after both exposures, with no statistically significant difference between situations. All of the exhaled breath samples collected during the PVC exposure contained 2-ethylhexanol. CONCLUSIONS: PVC flooring challenge can evoke respiratory tract symptoms in exposed subjects. Our results do not support the hypothesis that PVC materials themselves evoke immediate asthmatic reactions. The chamber test used is well suited to this type of exposure study.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 2001 draft TCE risk assessment concluded that it is difficult to determine which TCE metabolites may be responsible for these effects, the key events involved in their modes of action (MOAs) , and the relevance of these MOAs to humans. In this article, which is part of a mini-monograph on key issues in the health risk assessment of TCE, we present a review of recently published scientific literature examining the effects of TCE metabolites in the context of the preceding questions. Studies of the TCE metabolites dichloroacetic acid (DCA) , trichloroacetic acid (TCA) , and chloral hydrate suggest that both DCA and TCA are involved in TCE-induced liver tumorigenesis and that many DCA effects are consistent with conditions that increase the risk of liver cancer in humans. Studies of S-(1,2-dichlorovinyl) -l-cysteine have revealed a number of different possible cell signaling effects that may be related to kidney tumorigenesis at lower concentrations than those leading to cytotoxicity. Recent studies of trichloroethanol exploring an alternative hypothesis for kidney tumorigenesis have failed to establish the formation of formate as a key event for TCE-induced kidney tumors. Overall, although MOAs and key events for TCE-induced liver and kidney tumors have yet to be definitively established, these results support the likelihood that toxicity is due to multiple metabolites through several MOAs, none of which appear to be irrelevant to humans.

The Health Sector Assessment (HSA) concluded that climate variability and change are likely to increase morbidity and mortality risks for several climate-sensitive health outcomes, with the net impact uncertain. The objective of this study was to update the first HSA based on recent publications that address the potential impacts of climate variability and change in the United States for the five health outcome categories. The literature published since the first HSA supports the initial conclusions, with new data refining quantitative exposure-response relationships for several health end points, particularly for extreme heat events and air pollution. The United States continues to have a very high capacity to plan for and respond to climate change, although relatively little progress has been noted in the literature on implementing adaptive strategies and measures. Large knowledge gaps remain, resulting in a substantial need for additional research to improve our understanding of how weather and climate, both directly and indirectly, can influence human health. Filling these knowledge gaps will help better define the potential health impacts of climate change and identify specific public health adaptations to increase resilience.

We used distributions of daily minimum and maximum temperature in each city to define extremely hot days (/= 99 th percentile) and extremely cold days (/= 1st percentile) , respectively. For each (hypothesized) effect modifier, a city-specific logistic regression model was fitted and an overall estimate calculated in a subsequent meta-analysis. RESULTS: Older subjects [odds ratio (OR) = 1.020 ; 95% confidence interval (CI) , 1.005-1.034], diabetics (OR = 1.035 ; 95% CI, 1.010-1.062) , blacks (OR = 1.037 ; 95% CI, 1.016-1.059) , and those dying outside a hospital (OR = 1.066 ; 95% CI, 1.036-1.098) were more susceptible to extreme heat, with some differences observed between those dying from a cardiovascular disease and other decedents. Cardiovascular deaths (OR = 1.053 ; 95% CI, 1.036-1.070) , and especially cardiac arrest deaths (OR = 1.137 ; 95% CI, 1.051-1.230) , showed a greater relative increase on extremely cold days, whereas the increase in heat-related mortality was marginally higher for those with coexisting atrial fibrillation (OR = 1.059 ; 95% CI, 0.996-1.125) . CONCLUSIONS: In this study we identified several subpopulations and mortality causes particularly susceptible to temperature extremes. This knowledge may contribute to establishing health programs that would better protect the vulnerable.

The objective of this study was to assess the impact of POP exposure on the male hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal axis. PARTICIPANTS: Participants included 184 Swedish fishermen and spouses of pregnant women from Greenland (n = 258), Warsaw, Poland (n = 113) , and Kharkiv, Ukraine (n = 194). EVALUATIONS/MEASUREMENTS: Serum levels of 2,2,4,4,5,5-hexachlorobiphenyl (CB-153) and dichlorodiphenyl dichloroethene (p,p -DDE) were determined in the four populations, showing different exposure patterns: Swedish fishermen, high CB-153/low p,p -DDE; Greenland, high CB-153/high p,p -DDE; Warsaw, low CB-153/moderate p,p -DDE; Kharkiv, low CB-153/high p,p -DDE. Serum was also analyzed for testosterone, estradiol, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) , inhibin B, luteinizing hormone (LH) , and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) . Free testosterone levels were calculated based on testosterone and SHBG. RESULTS: We found significant center-to-center variations in the associations between exposure and the outcomes. The most pronounced effects were observed in Kharkiv, where statistically significant positive associations were found between the levels of both CB-153 and p,p -DDE and SHBG, as well as LH. In Greenland, there was a positive association between CB-153 exposure and LH. In the pooled data set from all four centers, there was positive association between p,p -DDE and FSH levels [beta = 1.1 IU/L; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.0-1.1 IU/L]. The association between CB-153 levels and SHBG was of borderline statistical significance (beta = 0.90 nmol/L; 95% CI, -0.04 to 1.9 nmol/L). CONCLUSIONS: Gonadotropin levels and SHBG seem to be affected by POP exposure, but the pattern of endocrine response is the subject of considerable geographic variation.

Given this context we tracked (using Malaise traps) the changes in diversity and abundance of native wasp parasitoids (belonging to the superfamily Ichneumonoidea, comprising the families Ichneumonidae and Braconidae) in three field trials comprising mixed plantings of Eucalyptus and/or Acacia. Our aim was to examine the influences of time since planting (determines architectural complexity), tree species composition and presence/absence of understorey vegetation (i.e. vegetational complexity) on populations of Ichneumonoidea. In the trial referred to as ''GES1'' the diversity of wasps increased from 10 to 37 morphospecies in the 3 years following planting; over this time some of the trees were estimated to have undergone an approximate 2.7-fold increase in height. In the plantings comprising Eucalyptus and/or Acacia in the proportions 10:90, 38:62 or 100:0, respectively (''GES2''), there was a tendency for Ichneumonoidea to be more abundant in arboreta in which the composition of Eucalyptus and Acacia was more closely matched (i.e. 38:62 eucalypts to acacias) compared to arboreta in which trees of one or other of the two genera dominated (i.e. 10:90 and 100:0 eucalypts to acacia). We also report a tendency for Ichneumonoidea to be less abundant in the halves of the third planting (''GES3'') where understorey vegetation had been killed with herbicide. Our results were in accordance with the general ecological principle that greater habitat complexity favours greater species diversity. We suggest that increasing the vegetational complexity of commercial Eucalyptus plantations in ways that favour desired species of Ichneumonoidea could be a means of enhancing the biological control of incipient populations of pest insects.

An Experimental Test in New South Wales AN - 20410652; 7571690 AB - From 1993 to 2001, we conducted a series of experiments in a mixed grassland-woodland system in central New South Wales (NSW) to quantify the interactions between red foxes and their prey and competitors. Foxes were removed from two areas around the perimeter of Lake Burrendong, and data were collected from these areas and a nearby untreated area before, during, and after the period of fox control. The arrival of rabbit hemorrhagic disease (RHD) in 1996 provided an opportunity to examine the interactive effects of controlling foxes and rabbits. In this landscape, typical of central NSW, (a) the fox population was not affected by a large reduction in the abundance of rabbits, or vice versa; (b) the cat population declined in areas where foxes were removed after the large RHD-induced reduction in rabbit numbers, but there was no consistent response to the removal of foxes; (c) the abundance of some macropod species increased in response only to the combined removal of rabbits and foxes; (d) there were no consistent changes in the abundances of bird species in response to the removal of either foxes or rabbits, but there were clear habitat differences in bird species richness; and (e) there was likely to be an increase in woody plant species after the large reduction in rabbit populations by RHD. We conclude that (a) long-term field experiments (more than 3 years) are required to quantify the indirect consequences of controlling foxes and rabbits, and (b) single manipulations, such as fox control or rabbit control, are not necessarily sufficient for the conservation of remnant woodland communities in southeastern Australia.

Using data from six capture-recapture sessions, survival probabilities of the white-starred robin were estimated in seven indigenous forest patches in the highly fragmented Taita Hills forests, SE Kenya. We found no significant differences in survival probability either among fragment-size categories (large 135 ha, medium 95 ha, and small 2-8 ha) or between adult and first-year birds. However, males had a higher probability of survival from one year to the next than females. Turnover rates of adult birds were higher for females than males, but also higher in the medium and small patches than in the large one within each sex. That survival probability was similar among fragments, but turnover rates differed denoted that different processes caused extirpation from the patches. We suggest that mortality associated with dispersal was probably a more important cause of extirpation than within-patch mortality in the largest habitat, which had the lowest turnover rates. Conversely, high within-patch mortality, for instance due to predation during incubation, could have been more important in the smaller, more disturbed habitats. These results lend support to the proposition that avian conservation efforts should be focussed both at the landscape level to improve connectivity between fragments and reduce mortality during dispersal, and at the patch level to exclude other mortality sources such as nest predation.

Disordered eating symptomatology was operationalised as drive for thinness, body dissatisfaction, and bulimic symptoms. Family conflict and the perceived frequency of negative messages regarding weight and shape communicated from mothers were also reported by participants. With current BMI treated as a covariate, support was provided for the proposition that frequency of negative messages is a more important contributor to disordered eating symptomatology than family conflict for both secondary school students and university students. However, for secondary students there was no relationship between family conflict and drive for thinness. Recommendations for future research are provided, including the possibility of considering the perception of both positive and negative weight-related messages, and the relative importance of such messages when conveyed by people other than the maternal figure, such as fathers, siblings and peers.

From 1999 to 2003, 445 strains of Shigella sonnei were isolated from patients admitted to the diarrhoea treatment centre of the International Center for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh. More than 60% of the isolates were resistant to nalidixic acid, 89% to sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim and 9.5% to ampicillin. In addition, 4% of strains were resistant to multiple antibiotics (Amp super(R) Tet super(R) Sxt super(R) Str super(R)) and 4.2% of strains were sensitive to all antibiotics tested. None of the strains were positive for the set1 gene, whereas 46% were positive for the sen gene. Forty-six per cent of the strains (stored at -70 degree C) harboured the 120 MDa invasive plasmid and representative strains produced keratoconjunctivitis in the guinea pig eye. In addition, three plasmids of approximately 5, 1.8 and 1.4 MDa were found to be present in more than 90% of the strains. A self-transmissible, middle-ranged plasmid (35-80 MDa) carrying the multiple antibiotic resistance gene was found in some strains. PFGE analysis of the strains identified five unique types with many subtypes, which were characterized into four unique types by ribotyping analysis. It can be concluded that endemic strains of Shigella sonnei isolated from patients in Bangladesh are diverse in their genetic pattern.

To explore private practitioners' perceptions of barriers to the treatment of patients with TB in Bali to inform strategies for future programme development. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with private practitioners who treated TB patients in their private practice. The main barriers to improved TB control in Bali identified by private practitioners reflect difficulties encountered within the following four areas: patient nonadherence to treatment, limitations of public services, public-private integration and limitations of private services. Private practitioners identified the need for improvements in the level of community education regarding TB, the degree of public-private interaction, the quality of diagnostic services and practitioner access to training. This study identified both strengths and weaknesses for TB control in the private sector, as well as considerable variations in perceptions and practice among private practitioners. The development of strategies to address these difficulties and utilise the inherent strengths of both public and private practitioners will be essential for improved service provision and TB control in Bali.

As a step towards this goal, a two-dimensional slice model (zero gradients in the alongshore direction) based on the primitive flow equations and a range of sediment classes has been developed. The circulation is forced from rest by upwelling or downwelling winds, which are spatially uniform. Results are presented for a range of wind speeds and sediment settling speeds. Upwelling flows carry fine sediments (low settling speeds) far offshore within the surface Ekman layer, and significant deposition eventually occurs beyond the shelf break. However, coarser sediments quickly settle out of the deeper onshore component of the circulation, which can lead to accumulation of bottom sediments within the coastal zone. Downwelling flows are more effective at transporting coarse sediments off the shelf. However, strong vertical mixing at the shelf break ensures that some material is also carried into the surface Ekman layer and returned onshore. The concentrations and settling fluxes of coarse sediments decrease offshore and increase with depth under both upwelling and downwelling conditions, consistent with trends observed in sediment trap data. However, finer sediments decrease with depth (upwelling) or reach a maximum around the depth of the shelf break (downwelling). It is shown that under uniform wind conditions, suspended sediment concentrations and settling fluxes decay offshore over a length scale of order tau [sub]s/[rho]f|w[sub]s|, where tau [sub]s is the wind stress, [rho] the water density, f the Coriolis parameter, and w[sub]s is the sediment settling velocity. This scaling applies to both upwelling and downwelling conditions, provided offshore transport is dominated by wind-driven advection, rather than horizontal diffusion.

The different types of dispersion models available, from simple box type models to complex fluid dynamics models are outlined and the suitability of the different approaches to dispersion modelling within different environments, in regards to scale, complexity of the environment and concentration parameters is assessed. Finally, several major commercial and non-commercial particle dispersion packages are reviewed, detailing which processes are included and advantages and limitations of their use to modelling particle dispersion. The models reviewed included: Box models (AURORA, CPB and PBM), Gaussian models (CALINE4, HIWAY2, CAR-FMI, OSPM, CALPUFF, AEROPOL, AERMOD, UK-ADMS and SCREEN3), Lagrangian/Eulerian Models (GRAL, TAPM, ARIA Regional), CFD models (ARIA Local, MISKAM, MICRO-CALGRID) and models which include aerosol dynamics (GATOR, MONO32, UHMA, CIT, AERO, RPM, AEROFOR2, URM- 1ATM, MADRID, CALGRID and UNI-AERO).

Two methods, Fenton oxidation and high temperature combustion, have been used for regeneration of used materials. It is found that MCM-22 exhibits equilibrium adsorption at 1.7 x 10 super(-4) mol g super(-1), much higher than the adsorption of natural zeolite (5 x 10 super(-5) mol g super(-1)) at initial dye concentration of 2.7 x 10 super(-5) M and 30 degree C. Solution pH will affect the adsorption behaviour of MCM- 22. Higher solution pH results in higher adsorption capacity. The regenerated adsorbents show different capacity depending on regeneration technique. Physical regeneration by high temperature combustion will be better than chemical regeneration using Fenton oxidation in producing effective adsorbents. Regeneration of MCM-22 by high temperature treatment can make the adsorbent exhibit comparable or superior adsorption capacity as compared to the fresh sample depending on the temperature and time. The optimal temperature and time will be 540 degree C and 1 h. The Fenton oxidation will recover 60% adsorption capacity. For natural zeolite, regeneration can not fully recover the adsorption capacity with the two techniques and the regenerated natural zeolites by the two techniques are similar, showing 60% adsorption capacity of fresh sample. Kinetic studies indicate that the adsorption follows pseudo-second-order kinetics.

Particular attention is paid to factors affecting physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling for application to risk assessment. Recent TCE PCPK modeling efforts, coupled with methodologic advances in characterizing uncertainty and variability, suggest that rigorous application of PBPK modeling to TCE risk assessment appears feasible at least for TCE and its major oxidative metabolites trichloroacetic acid and trichloroethanol. There are a number of metabolites of potential toxicologic interest namely, chloral, dichloroacetic acid, and those derived from glutathione conjugation, for which reliable pharmacokinetic data is sparse because of analytical difficulties or low concentrations in systematic circulation.

Exposure levels assigned by census tract of birth residence for 19 chemicals were identified as potential neurotoxicants, development toxicants, and/or endocrine disruptors from the 1996 HAPs database. ASD risk was calculated in the upper quartiles of these group scores or individual chemical concentrations compared with below the median, adjusting for demographic factors. The adjusted odds ratios (AORs) were elevated by 50% in the top quartile of chlorinated solvents and heavy metals, but not for aromatic solvent. The results suggested a potential association between autism and estimated metal concentrations, and possibly solvents, in ambient air around the birth residence requiring confirmation and more refined exposure assessment in the future studies.

The intensiveness of these 54 infants' exposure to DEHP-containing medical products was classified. Intensiveness of DEHP-containing products use was monotonically associated with all three DEHP metabolites. It was concluded that the inclusion of the oxidative metabolites namely, mono(2-ethyl-5-hydroxylhexyl) phthalate (MEHHP) and mono(2-ethyl-5-oxohexyl) phthalate (MEOHP) strengthened the association between intensiveness of product use and biological indices of DEHP exposure over that observed with MEHP alone.

Ambient air is polluted with a mixture of pulmonary toxicants. Using a metabolomic approach, inflammatory responses in arachidonic and linoleic acid biochemical cascades and the expression of 19 cytokines/chemokines at three time points following exposure to 1-NN with and without prior long-term O sub(3) exposure are investigated. Long-term O sub(3) exposure is associated with biochemical changes that are shown to render the lung resistant to further O sub(3) exposure. Airways of O sub(3)-tolerant rats exhibit a low level of chronic inflammation, rendering the lungs more susceptible to other environmental pollutants such as 1-NN.

A time series design to analyze short-term effects of temperature and O sub(3) pollution on mortality is used. Counts of deaths are regressed on temperatures and O sub(3) levels. Controlling for possible confounders: long-term trends, season, influenza outbreaks, day of the week, and bank holiday effects. For the nine cities, the excess risk of death is significant for an increase of 10 mu g/m super(3) in O sub(3) level. The results confirm than in urban areas O sub(3) levels have a non-negligible impact in terms of public health.

The vehicle two sizes of carbon black nanoparticles, or LPS plus nanoparticles are administered and the parameters for lung inflammation and coagulation are evaluated. Nanoparticles alone induce slight lung inflammation and significant pulmonary edema compared with vehicle. Fourteen-nanometer nanoparticles intensively aggravate LPS-elicited lung inflammation and pulmonary edema that is concomitant with the enhanced lung expression on interleukin-1 bet, macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alp (MIP-1 alp), macrophage chemoattractant protein-1, MIP-2, and keratinocyte chemoattractant in overall trend, whereas 56-nm nanoparticles do not show apparent effects. Taken together, evidence indicates that nanoparticles can aggravate lung inflammation related to bacterial endotoxin, which is more prominent with smaller particles.

So far, radiation to the thyroid from radioisotopes of iodine has caused several thousand cases of thyroid cancer but very few deaths; exposed children are most susceptible. The focus on thyroid cancer has diverted attention from possible nonthyroid effects, such as mini-satellite instability, which is potentially important. The international response to the accident is inadequate and uncoordinated, and unjustifiably reassuring. Accurate assessment of Chernobyl's future health effects is not currently possible in the light of dose uncertainties, current debates over radiation actions, and the lessons from the late consequences of atomic bomb exposure.

Fathead minnows, Pimephales promelas, are fed one of three diets that are similar to documented concentrations of MeHg in the diet of wild invertivorous and piscivorous fish. A commercial macroarray is used on conjunction with quantitative polymerase chain reaction to examine expression in fish in relation to these environmentally relevant doses of MeHg. Expression genes commonly associated with endocrine is altered with Hg exposure. Specifically, a marked up-regulation in vitellogenin mRNA in individual Hg exposed males and a significant decline in vitellogenin gene expression in female fish with increasing Hg concentrations are observed.

AN - 68742953; 16530952 AB - Fly ash is a waste substance from thermal power plants, steel mills, etc. that is found in abundance in the world. In recent years, utilisation of fly ash has gained much attention in public and industry, which will help reduce the environmental burden and enhance economic benefit. In this paper, the technical feasibility of utilisation of fly ash as a low-cost adsorbent for various adsorption processes for removal of pollutants in air and water systems has been reviewed. Instead of using commercial activated carbon or zeolites, a lot of researches have been conducted using fly ash for adsorption of NO(x), SO(x), organic compounds, and mercury in air, and cations, anions, dyes and other organic matters in waters. It is recognised that fly ash is a promising adsorbent for removal of various pollutants. Chemical treatment of fly ash will make conversion of fly ash into a more efficient adsorbent for gas and water cleaning. Investigations also revealed that unburned carbon component in fly ash plays an important role in adsorption capacity. Directions for future research are also discussed.

Governments are under increasing pressure to maximise the reach and effectiveness of housing assistance policies to deal with the resulting problems of increasing housing stress. This paper presents a model, based on Monte Carlo simulation, that estimates the expected subsidy costs required for a range of housing assistance policy approaches, assuming that an affordability benchmark is met. The required subsidies reflect and vary with the systematic risk factors characterising different regional housing markets, suggesting that significant subsidy cost savings can be gained by tailoring particular policy mixes to each market. The model is applied to Australia's eight state capital cities.

AN - 68846548; 16964849 AB - The purpose of the paper is to report on the dose estimation studies at various depths for the commonly used beta-emitting 90Y, 166Ho, 153Sm, 32p, and 177Lu radionuclides in a phantom fabricated using the poly methyl methacrylate tissue equivalent material having a density of 1.19 gm/cc, by using thermoluminescent dosemeters. GAFChromic MD-55 films were used to calculate the calibration factor for the thermoluminescent micro-rods used in our study. It is observed that 90Y delivers the highest dose at 1 mm amongst the radionuclides tested followed by 32p, 166Ho, 153Sm, and 177Lu, whereas the cumulative dose received by the joint was found to be more for 32P followed by 90Y, 166Ho, 153Sm, and 177Lu. The highest therapeutic range obtained is 3.1 mm for 153Sm amongst the tested radionuclides. The dose values obtained for all the above-mentioned radionuclides can serve as reference material for those researchers and clinicians who are interested in selection of the radionuclide for the type of joint treated and the amount of dose necessary to be delivered to the synovial membrane.

AN - 68801260; 16944677 AB - To assess temporal stability across multiple assessments and predictors of circadian phase in participants with delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS), relative to normal-sleeping matched controls. Circadian phase was assessed by salivary dim light melatonin onset (DLMO) during 3 laboratory visits, separated by at least 5 days--2 scheduled at the end of the week (Friday) and 1 scheduled at the end of the weekend (Sunday). Eight young volunteers who met International Classification of Sleep Disorders-Revised criteria for DSPS, and 8 age- and sex-matched controls (age range 19-27 years old). N/A. As expected, salivary DLMO occurred significantly later in patients with DSPS than in controls (F 10.561, p = .006). However, circadian phase did not change significantly across the 3 DLMO assessments in either group. Estimations of circadian phase were not significantly different in the assessments conducted on weekdays versus weekends. Predictors of circadian phase included time of morning light exposure (R2 = 0.777; p < .001), recent wake time (R2 = 0.701, p < .001), and self-reported chronotype (R2 = 0.320, p = .016). DLMO preceded wake time in both groups by approximately 10.75 hours. Across serial laboratory assessments on an ad lib sleep schedule, patients with DSPS appeared more similar to than different from normal-sleeping control subjects, except for a stable delay in circadian phase.

AN - 68724911; 16831456 AB - Conventional methods of calculating chlorine demand are dose dependent, making intercomparison of samples difficult, especially in cases where the samples contain substantially different concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), or other chlorine-consuming species. Using the method presented here, the values obtained for chlorine demand are normalised, allowing valid comparison of chlorine demand between samples, independent of the chlorine dose. Since the method is not dose dependent, samples with substantially differing water quality characteristics can be reliably compared. In our method, we dosed separate aliquots of a water sample with different chlorine concentrations, and periodically measured the residual chlorine concentrations in these subsamples. The chlorine decay data obtained in this way were then fitted to first-order exponential decay functions, corresponding to short-term demand (0-4h) and long-term demand (4-168 h). From the derived decay functions, the residual concentrations at a given time within the experimental time window were calculated and plotted against the corresponding initial chlorine concentrations, giving a linear relationship. From this linear function, it was then possible to determine the residual chlorine concentration for any initial concentration (i.e. dose). Thus, using this method, the initial chlorine dose required to give any residual chlorine concentration can be calculated for any time within the experimental time window, from a single set of experimental data.

AN - 68686720; 16873241 AB - The hepatitis C virus (HCV) glycoproteins E1 and E2 form a heterodimer that mediates CD81 receptor binding and viral entry. In this study, we used site-directed mutagenesis to examine the functional role of a conserved G436WLAGLFY motif of E2. The mutants could be placed into two groups based on the ability of mature virion-incorporated E1E2 to bind the large extracellular loop (LEL) of CD81 versus the ability to mediate cellular entry of pseudotyped retroviral particles. Group 1 comprised E2 mutants where LEL binding ability largely correlated with viral entry ability, with conservative and nonconservative substitutions (W437 L/A, L438A, L441V/F, and F442A) inhibiting both functions. These data suggest that Trp-437, Leu-438, Leu-441, and Phe-442 directly interact with the LEL. Group 2 comprised E2 glycoproteins with more conservative substitutions that lacked LEL binding but retained between 20% and 60% of wild-type viral entry competence. The viral entry competence displayed by group 2 mutants was explained by residual binding by the E2 receptor binding domain to cellular full-length CD81. A subset of mutants maintained LEL binding ability in the context of intracellular E1E2 forms, but this function was largely lost in virion-incorporated glycoproteins. These data suggest that the CD81 binding site undergoes a conformational transition during glycoprotein maturation through the secretory pathway. The G436P mutant was an outlier, retaining near-wild-type levels of CD81 binding but lacking significant viral entry ability. These findings indicate that the G436WLAGLFY motif of E2 functions in CD81 binding and in pre- or post-CD81-dependent stages of viral entry.

AN - 68644335; 16388836 AB - Airborne lead isotope ratios were measured via Thermal Ionisation Mass Spectrometry in samples from the vicinity of Ranger uranium mine in northern Australia. Dust deposited on leaves of Acacia spp. was washed off and analysed to gain a geographical snapshot of lead isotope ratios in the region. Aerosols were also collected on Teflon filters that were changed monthly over one seasonal cycle using a low volume diaphragm pump. Lead isotope ratios in dust deposited on leaves overestimate the relative amount of mine origin airborne lead, most likely due to a difference of the size distribution of particles collected on leaves and true aerosol size distribution. Seasonal measurements show that the annual average mine contribution to airborne lead concentrations in Jabiru East, approximately 2.5 km northwest of the mine, amounted to 13%, with distinct differences between the wet and dry season. The relative contribution of mine origin lead deposited on leaves in the dry season drops to less than 1% at a distance of 12.5 km from the mine along the major wind direction. An approach is outlined, in which lead isotope ratios are used to estimate the effective radiation dose received from the inhalation of mine origin radioactivity trapped in or on dust. Using the data from our study, this dose has been calculated to be approximately 2 microSv year(-1) for people living and working in the area.

AN - 57683149; 461795 AB - Without regulation, market power in mobile termination is likely to result in mobile termination rates (MTRs) in excess of costs and cross-subsidised prices for mobile subscription/handsets. Mobile network operators (MNOs) argue that subsidisation is efficient, being justified by, inter alia, a network externality on new mobile subscriptions. However, especially in mature markets, the argument here is that MNOs will tend to set MTRs inefficiently high and subscription prices will be driven inefficiently low. Regulation is necessary to prevent these inefficiencies. Further, other externalities have different implications - e.g., the mobile call-receipt externality suggests a subsidy to mobile termination. The conclusion is that on balance and in the absence of detailed empirical estimation of the size of a multitude of possible types of externality, it is likely to be efficient to set MTRs to cost in markets with high penetration.

Decreased HRV has been linked with exposures to PM10 (PM with aerodynamic diameteror=10 microm) and with fine particles (PM with aerodynamic diameteror=2.5 microm) originating primarily from combustion sources. However, little is known about the relationship between HRV and coarse particles [PM with aerodynamic diameter 10-2.5 microm (PM10-2.5)], which typically result from entrainment of dust and soil or from mechanical abrasive processes in industry and transportation. We measured several HRV variables in 19 nonsmoking older adults with coronary artery disease residing in the Coachella Valley, California, a desert resort and retirement area in which ambient PM10 consists predominantly of PM10-2.5. Study subjects wore Holter monitors for 24 hr once per week for up to 12 weeks during spring 2000. Pollutant concentrations were assessed at nearby fixed-site monitors. We used mixed models that controlled for individual-specific effects to examine relationships between air pollutants and several HRV metrics. Decrements in several measures of HRV were consistently associated with both PM10 and PM10-2.5; however, there was little relationship of HRV variables with PM2.5 concentrations. The magnitude of the associations (approximately 1-4% decrease in HRV per 10-microg/m3 increase in PM10 or PM10-2.5) was comparable with those observed in several other studies of PM. Elevated levels of ambient PM10-2.5 may adversely affect HRV in older subjects with coronary artery disease.

This approach recognizes that no single test or property is known to distinguish allergens from nonallergens. The stability of a protein to digestion, as predicted by an in vitro simulated gastric fluid assay, currently is used as one element in the risk assessment process. A review of the literature on the use of the simulated gastric fluid assay to predict the allergenic status of proteins suggests that more extensive kinetic studies with well-characterized reference proteins are required before the predictive value of this assay can be adequately judged.

Antofagasta is the second largest city in Chile and had a distinct period of very high arsenic exposure that began in 1958 and lasted until 1971, when an arsenic removal plant was installed. This unique exposure scenario provides a rare opportunity to investigate the long-term mortality impact of early-life arsenic exposure. In this study, we compared mortality rates in Antofagasta in the period 1989-2000 with those of the rest of Chile, focusing on subjects who were born during or just before the peak exposure period and who were 30-49 years of age at the time of death. For the birth cohort born just before the high-exposure period (1950-1957) and exposed in early childhood, the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) for lung cancer was 7.0 [95% confidence interval (CI), 5.4-8.9; p0.001] and the SMR for bronchiectasis was 12.4 (95% CI, 3.3-31.7; p0.001). For those born during the high-exposure period (1958-1970) with probable exposure in utero and early childhood, the corresponding SMRs were 6.1 (95% CI, 3.5-9.9; p0.001) for lung cancer and 46.2 (95% CI, 21.1-87.7; p0.001) for bronchiectasis.

Similar to di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, a widely used phthalate, DINP causes antiandrogenic effects on developing rodent male fetuses. Traditionally, assessment of human exposure to DINP has been done using monoisononyl phthalate (MINP) , the hydrolytic metabolite of DINP, as a biomarker. However, MINP is only a minor urinary metabolite of DINP. Oxidative metabolites, including mono(carboxyisooctyl) phthalate (MCIOP) , mono(oxoisononyl) phthalate (MOINP) , and mono(hydroxyisononyl) phthalate (MHINP) are the major urinary metabolites in DINP-dosed rats. The urinary concentrations of MINP, MCIOP, MOINP, and MHINP were measured in 129 adult anonymous human volunteers with no known exposure to DINP. Although MINP was not present at detectable levels in any of the samples analyzed, MCIOP, MHINP, and MOINP were detected in 97, 100, and 87% of the urine samples at geometric mean levels equal to 8.6, 11.4, and 1.2 ng/mL, respectively. The concentrations of all three oxidative metabolites were highly correlated with each other (p0.0001), which confirms a common precursor. MCIOP was excreted predominantly as a free species, whereas MOINP was excreted mostly in its glucuronidated form. The percentage of MHINP excreted either glucuronidated or in its free form was similar. The significantly higher frequency of detection and urinary concentrations of oxidative metabolites than of MINP suggest that these oxidative metabolites are better biomarkers of exposure assessment of DINP than is MINP. Therefore, we concluded that the prevalence of human exposure to DINP is underestimated by using MINP as the sole DINP urinary biomarker.

STUDY DESIGN: We reviewed the medical charts of 343 children from 0 to 5 years of age and evaluated the associations between PCB-153 concentration in umbilical cord plasma and the incidence rates of acute otitis media (AOM) and of upper and lower respiratory tract infections (URTIs and LRTIs, respectively). RESULTS: The incidence rates of AOM and LRTIs were positively associated with prenatal exposure to PCBs. Compared with children in the first quartile of exposure (least exposed), children in fourth quartile (most exposed) had rate ratios of 1.25 (p0.001) and 1.40 (p0.001) for AOM and LRTIs, respectively. There was no association between prenatal PCB exposure and incidence rate of URTIs or hospitalization. CONCLUSION: Prenatal exposure to PCBs could be responsible for a significant portion of respiratory infections in children of this population.

Phase 1: Use of a Potent Agonist and a Potent Antagonist to Test the Standardized Protocol AN - 21176439; 11532391 AB - The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has completed phase 1 of the Hershberger validation intended to identify in vivo activity of suspected androgens and antiandrogens. Seventeen laboratories from 7 countries participated in phase 1, and results were collated and evaluated by the OECD with the support of an international committee of experts. Five androgen-responsive tissues (ventral prostate, paired seminal vesicles and coagulating glands, levator ani and bulbocavernosus muscles, glans penis, and paired Cowper's or bulbourethral glands) were evaluated. The standardized protocols used selected doses of a reference androgen, testosterone propionate (TP), and an antiandrogen, flutamide (FLU). All laboratories successfully detected TP-stimulated increases in androgen-responsive tissue weight and decreases in TP-stimulated tissue weights when FLU was co-administered. The standardized protocols performed well under a variety of conditions (e.g., strain, diet, housing protocol, bedding). There was good agreement among laboratories with regard to the TP doses inducing significant increases in tissue weights and the FLU doses decreasing TP-stimulated tissue weights. Several additional procedures (e.g., weighing of the dorsolateral prostate and fixation of tissues before weighing) and serum component measurements (e.g., luteinizing hormone) were also included by some laboratories to assess their potential utility. The results indicated that the OECD Hershberger protocol was robust, reproducible, and transferable across laboratories. Based on this phase 1 validation study, the protocols have been refined, and the next phase of the OECD validation program will test the protocol with selected doses of weak androgen agonists, androgen antagonists, a 5alpha-reductase inhibitor, and chemicals having no androgenic activity.

Chloral hydrate (CH) is the major metabolite of TCE formed in the liver by cytochrome P450 2E1. CH is metabolized to the hepatocarcinogen trichloroacetate (TCA) by aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) and to the noncarcinogenic metabolite trichloroethanol (TCOH) by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). ALDH and ADH are polymorphic in humans, and these polymorphisms are known to affect the elimination of ethanol. It is therefore possible that polymorphisms in CH metabolism will yield subpopulations with greater than expected TCA formation with associated enhanced risk of liver tumors after TCE exposure. METHODS: The present studies were undertaken to determine the feasibility of using commercially available, cryogenically preserved human hepatocytes to determine simultaneously the kinetics of CH metabolism and ALDH/ADH genotype. Thirteen human hepatocyte samples were examined. Linear reciprocal plots were obtained for 11 ADH and 12 ALDH determinations. RESULTS: There was large interindividual variation in the Vmax values for both TCOH and TCA formation. Within this limited sample size, no correlation with ADH/ALDH genotype was apparent. Despite the large variation in Vmax values among individuals, disposition of CH into the two competing pathways was relatively constant. CONCLUSIONS: These data support the use of cryopreserved human hepatocytes as an experimental system to generate metabolic and genomic information for incorporation into TCE cancer risk assessment models. The data are discussed with regard to cellular factors, other than genotype, that may contribute to the observed variability in metabolism of CH in human liver.

In this commentary I discuss the hypothesis that ontogenetic features of living organisms can be considered biomarkers of coevolution between organisms and physicochemical agents during Earth's history. I provide a new vision of evolution based on correlations between metabolic features and stage-dependent susceptibility of organisms to physicochemical agents with well-known environmental signatures. Thus, developmental features potentially reflect environmental changes during evolution. From this perspective, early multicellular life forms would have flourished in the anoxic Earth more than 2 billion years ago, which is at least 1.2 billion years in advance of available fossil evidence. The remarkable transition to aerobic metabolism in gastrula-stage embryos potentially reflects evolution toward tridermic organisms by 2 billion years ago. Noteworthy changes in embryonic resistance to physicochemical agents at different developmental stages that can be observed in living organisms potentially reflect the influence of environmental stress conditions during different periods of evolutionary history. Evoecotoxicology, as a multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach, can enhance our understanding of evolution, including the phylogenetic significance of differences in susceptibility/resistance to physicochemical agents in different organisms.

Acta 469 (2002) 225-233] by TIMS (Thermal Ionisation Mass Spectrometry) have been used to measure the isotopic composition of Sr and the concentration of Rb and Sr at sub-nanogram per gram levels in a Mt Blanc snow and ice core. This two century time series of Sr isotopes is the first to be reported in an Alpine glacier. The Sr and Rb concentrations range from 3ng/g to 20pg/g and 1ng/g to 10pg/g, respectively, with higher concentrations evident in more recent times. This trend is consistent with that reported previously for other metals such as Cd, Cu and Zn [K. Van de Velde, C. Barbante, G. Cozzi, I. Moret, T. Bellomi, C. Ferrari, C. Boutron, Changes in the occurrence of silver, gold, platinum, palladium and rhodium in Mont Blanc ice and snow since the 18th century, Atmos. Environ. 34 (2000) 3117-3127; K. Van de Velde, C.

Lett. 176 (2000) 413-424]. The 87Sr/86Sr ratios vary between 0.7020 and 0.7176 and display relatively larger variations in recent times which have been attributed to seasonal variations made evident by the increased sampling resolution available at shallower depths. No change with time is evident in this ratio which has a mean value of 0.712 and is similar to Glacial ice at Summit Greenland, suggesting that aerosols reaching Mt Blanc represent the same mixture of sources. Also, anthropogenic sources would appear to have the same isotopic ratio. The presence of Saharan dust in some samples is confirmed here by their strontium isotopic ratios.

Over 3 years (2002-2004) between 23 and 50 lizards were radio-tracked up to four times a week to record microhabitat use and each fortnight to determine tick loads. Daily maximum temperature was highly predictive of lizard microhabitat use. In hotter fortnights lizards used larger bushes and burrows for refuge. Peak background tick infestation levels and pulses of attachment coincided with higher ambient temperature. Male ticks attached throughout the year independent of season. Engorged females detached late in spring, summer and autumn, when climate regularly restricted lizards to a few thermally conservative refuges. Peak nymph and larval attachment occurred over summer and into autumn. Climate-dependent timing and type of host refuge use may influence tick population density.

This study was undertaken to determine the degree to which pyrite oxidation rates are reduced by bacteriological reactions and organic matter, which both modify the net reaction mechanisms and compete for available oxygen. The results from these experimental runs not only confirm the role of organic matter in mitigating pyrite oxidation but indicate that at least initially, the acidity produced is consumed or otherwise ameliorated by parallel reactions. Tracking pH or [H super(+)] in both a reactor and in soil does not accurately reflect reaction progress and may not correctly indicate the true level of risk. In comparison, the tracking of pyrite oxidation with the concentration of sulfate in solution is not affected by side reactions or precipitation and is therefore a better indicator for the rate of pyrite destruction.

There was higher aggregation of infections within social groups for Hemolivia, transmitted by ticks, and Schellackia, either tick-transmitted or directly transmitted from mother to offspring, than for Plasmodium, with more mobile dipteran vectors. Prevalence was not related to group size, proximity to other groups or spatial overlap with adjacent groups for any of the parasites. However, for Hemolivia, groups with higher levels of relatedness among adults had higher parasite prevalence. Living in social groups leads to higher risk of infection for parasites with low transmission mobility. An unanswered question is why so few lizard species tolerate these risks to form stable social aggregations.

The natural zeolite is mainly composed of clinoptiloite, quartz and mordenite and has cation-exchange capacity of 120meq/100g. The natural zeolite presents higher adsorption capacity for methylene blue than rhodamine B with the maximal adsorption capacity of 2.8X10-5 and 7.9X10-5mol/g at 50°C for rhodamine B and methylene blue, respectively. Kinetic studies indicated that the adsorption followed the pseudo second-order kinetics and could be described as two-stage diffusion process. The adsorption isotherm could be fitted by the Langmuir and Freundlich models. Thermodynamic calculations showed that the adsorption is endothermic process with Delta H° at 2.0 and 8.7kJ/mol for rhodamine B and methylene blue. It has also found that the regenerated zeolites by high-temperature calcination and Fenton oxidation showed similar adsorption capacity but lower than the fresh sample. Only 60% capacity could be recovered by the two regeneration techniques.

Vascularized skin substitutes were prepared by seeding Bcl-2-transduced or nontransduced HUVEC, CB-EC, or AB-EC on the deep surface of decellularized human dermis following keratinocyte coverage of the epidermal surface. These skin substitutes were transplanted onto C.B-17 SCID/beige mice receiving systemic rapamycin or vehicle control and were analyzed 21 d later. CB-EC and Bcl-2-HUVEC formed more human EC-lined vessels than AB-EC or control HUVEC; CB-EC, Bcl-2-HUVEC, and AB-EC but not control HUVEC promoted ingrowth of mouse EC-lined vessels. Bcl-2 transduction increased the number of human and mouse EC-lined vessels in grafts seeded with HUVEC but not with CB-EC or AB-EC. Both CB-EC and AB-EC-induced microvessels became invested by smooth muscle cell-specific alpha-actin-positive mural cells, indicative of maturation. Rapamycin inhibited ingrowth of mouse EC-lined vessels but did not inhibit formation of human EC-lined vessels. We conclude that EC differentiated from circulating progenitors can be utilized to vascularize human skin substitutes even in the setting of compromised host angiogenesis/vasculogenesis.

METHODS: PCR-directed SCCmec typing was carried out for all MRS isolates and two Staphylococcus aureus and two Staphylococcus epidermidis strains were analysed by MLST. Strains belonging to SCCmec type III and IV were sequenced for their ccrAB gene of allotypes 3 and 2, respectively. RESULTS: Five types of SCCmec, types I, III, IV, IV (paediatric) and V SCCmec, were found. The S. aureus strains belonged to sequence type (ST) 239 and the two S. epidermidis belonged to ST43 and ST60 respectively. High sequence conservation was observed for the ccrAB gene of allotypes 2 and 3. CONCLUSIONS: MRS isolates from cats and dogs demonstrate a similar diversity of SCCmec types to those found in human staphylococci and ST239-MRSA-III, a widely dispersed strain in human hospitals, was identified in diseased dogs.

The responses to the HoM, CR, and heterologous (HeT) CF antigens in each group of patient were studied and compared to that seen in healthy children (n = 20). In the CFA/I group (CFA/I and CS14), patients responded with antibody-secreting cell (ASC) responses to HoM CFs (geometric mean, 156 to 329 ASCs/10 super(6) peripheral blood mononuclear cells [PBMCs]) and to CR CFs ( approximately 15 to 38 ASCs/10 super(6) PBMCs) but least of all to the HeT CS5 antigen (2 to 4 ASCs/10 super(6) PBMCs). For the CS5 group of patients with ETEC (CS5 and CS7), likewise, responses to HoM CFs (230 to 372 ASCs/10 super(6) PBMCs) and CR CFs (27 to 676 ASCs/10 super(6) PBMCs) were seen, along with lower responses to the HeT CFA/I antigen (9 to 38 ASCs/10 super(6) PBMCs). Both groups of patients responded with CF-specific IgA antibodies to HoM and CR antigens in plasma but responded less to the HeT CFs. The responses in patients were seen very soon after the onset of diarrhea and peaked around 1 week after onset. Vaccinees who had received two doses of the oral, killed whole-cell ETEC vaccine (CF-BS-ETEC) responded with plasma IgA antibodies to CFA/I, a component of the vaccine, but also to the CR CS14 antigen, which was not included in the vaccine, showing that antibody responses can be stimulated by a CFA/I-containing ETEC vaccine to a CR-reacting antigen in individuals in countries where ETEC is endemic.

At most of the locations and especially at low elevations, B. invadens frequently shared the same fruit with the indigenous fruit fly species Ceratitis cosyra (Walker) but often occurred at higher numbers than C. cosyra. The level of infestation varied with location ranging from 3.0 to 97.2 flies per kg of fruit. There was a significant inverse relationship between numbers of flies per kg of fruit and elevation at which fruit was collected, suggesting that B. invadens is a predominantly lowland pest. On an artificial diet, development of B. invadens immatures lasted 25 days; egg incubation required 1.2 days, larval development 11.1 days and puparia-adult development 12.4 days. About 55% of eggs developed to the adult stage. Life expectancy at pupal eclosion was 75.1 days in females and 86.4 days in males.

In this controlled study, 72 methadone-maintained clients received either standard care and 8 weeks of 3-S therapy, or standard care alone. At treatment completion, 3-S clients reported significantly greater increases in spiritual practices, expression of spiritual qualities, and motivation for HIV prevention. They were also less likely to have engaged in HIV risk behavior. Correlational analyses showed that attendance at 3-S therapy sessions was significantly positively related to spiritual practice at treatment completion and to motivation for HIV prevention, and that both attendance at 3-S sessions and motivation for HIV preventive behavior were significantly negatively related to HIV risk behavior. Completion of 3-S therapy predicted posttreatment HIV preventive behavior, controlling for pre-treatment behavior, demographics, and addiction severity measures (odds ratio = 8.89; 95% confidence interval = 1.62-48.93).

SNPs were identified in silico using the program 'Minimum SNPs', which selects for polymorphisms providing the greatest resolution of bacterial populations based on Simpson's index of diversity (D). The high-D SNPs identified in this study were derived from the combined C. jejuni/Campylobacter coli multilocus sequence typing (MLST) database. Seven SNPs were found that provided a D of 0.98 compared with full MLST characterization, based on 959 sequence types (STs). The seven high-D SNPs were interrogated using allele-specific real-time PCR (AS kinetic PCR), which negates the need for expensive labelled primers or probes and requires minimal assay optimization. The total turnaround time of the SNP typing assay was approximately 2 h. Concurrently, 69 C. jejuni isolates were subjected to MLST and flagellin A short variable region (flaA SVR) sequencing and combined with a population of 84 C. jejuni and C. coli isolates previously characterized by these methods. Within this collection of 153 isolates, 19 flaA SVR types (D = 0.857) were identified, compared with 40 different STs (D = 0.939). When MLST and flaA SVR sequencing were used in combination, the discriminatory power was increased to 0.959. In comparison, SNP typing of the 153 isolates alone provided a D of 0.920 and was unable to resolve a small number of unrelated isolates. However, addition of the flaA SVR locus to the SNP typing procedure increased the resolving power to 0.952 and clustered isolates similarly to MLST/flaA SVR. This investigation has shown that a seven-member C. jejuni SNP typing assay, used in combination with sequencing of the flaA SVR, efficiently discriminates C. jejuni isolates.

We explore classification and regression tree models as an alternative to the current Australian Weed Risk Assessment system, and demonstrate how the performance of screening tests for unwanted alien species may be quantitatively compared using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The optimal classification tree model for predicting weediness included just four out of a possible 44 attributes of introduced plants examined, namely: (i) intentional human dispersal of propagules; (ii) evidence of naturalization beyond native range; (iii) evidence of being a weed elsewhere; and (iv) a high level of domestication. Intentional human dispersal of propagules in combination with evidence of naturalization beyond a plants native range led to the strongest prediction of weediness. A high level of domestication in combination with no evidence of naturalization mitigated the likelihood of an introduced plant becoming a weed resulting from intentional human dispersal of propagules. Unlikely intentional human dispersal of propagules combined with no evidence of being a weed elsewhere led to the lowest predicted probability of weediness. The failure to include intrinsic plant attributes in the model suggests that either these attributes are not useful general predictors of weediness, or data and analysis were inadequate to elucidate the underlying relationship(s). This concurs with the historical pessimism that we will ever be able to accurately predict invasive plants. Given the apparent importance of propagule pressure (the number of individuals of an species released), future attempts at evaluating screening model performance for identifying unwanted plants need to account for propagule pressure when collating and-or analysing datasets. The classification tree had a cross-validated sensitivity of 93.6% and specificity of 36.7%. Based on the area under the ROC curve, the performance of the classification tree in correctly classifying plants as weeds or non-weeds was slightly inferior (Area under ROC curve = 0.83 plus or minus 0.021 ( plus or minus SE)) to that of the current risk assessment system in use (Area under ROC curve = 0.89 plus or minus 0.018 ( plus or minus SE)), although requires many fewer questions to be answered.

AN - 19298610; 7044021 AB - Taxonomic impediments require us to know if simpler approaches such as using higher taxa or habitat surrogates can help assess the needs of invertebrates when managing forests. This study tests whether higher taxon (families for species) and habitat (vegetation structure for species and families) surrogates might assist in determining the effects of prescribed burning on spiders. Spiders were sampled at sites representing a chronosequence of increasing ages since burning (0, 3, 6 and 9 years) by pitfall trapping and vacuuming from understorey vegetation in the South-west Botanical Province of Australia; a global biodiversity hotspot. Reassembly followed a similar pattern for both the richness of species and families. Immediately following burning, mean richness of families and species was low (8.75 and 14.5, respectively). By 3 years, however, there were significant increases in familial and species richness (13.25 and 23.75, respectively). Thereafter, taxon richness remained constant. Multiple regressions suggested habitat variables potentially influencing family and species richness were litter depth, bare ground (%), the density of dead vegetation (0-100cm high), and the density of live vegetation (40-140cm). The first three of these variables correlated significantly with time since burning, suggesting these components of habitat structure are useful predictors of taxon richness for spiders following fire. For assemblage composition, the congruence in post-fire response patterns between taxonomic ranks was highly significant, although the amount of variation explained was low (Rho<0.55). In the first 9 years post-fire, there was a significant shift in the taxonomic composition of spiders at family, but not specific, rank. Family composition at recently burnt sites differed significantly from that at sites burnt 9 years previously. Correlated with assemblage composition were litter depth, bare ground, and the density of live vegetation (0-40cm above the ground). However, the best correlation obtained by any combination of habitat variables with assemblage composition (Rho<0.317) was less than that obtained by using family level data. We conclude, therefore, that where resources are limited and there is a need to determine the effects of forest management practices on invertebrates using surrogates, identifying spiders to higher taxa is better than relying on habitat structure.

II: A strategy for the prevention of fungal keratitis at the village level in Burma AN - 19289405; 7127585 AB - Aim: To prove that topical antifungal and antibiotic prophylaxis distributed by grass roots village health workers (VHWs) in Burma is an effective public health intervention for the prevention of post-traumatic microbial keratitis in a population where the majority of ulcers are fungal. METHODS: Three villages in Bago District with a combined population of 16 987 were selected for the study. This defined population was followed prospectively for 12 months by 15 VHWs who were trained to identify post-traumatic corneal abrasions with fluorescein dye and a blue torch and to administer 1% chloramphenicol and 1% clotrimazole ointment three times a day for 3 days to the eyes of individuals who fulfilled the eligibility criteria. RESULTS: During the 12 month period 273 individuals reported to VHWs with an ocular injury and 126 were found to have a corneal abrasion. All 126 were treated with 1% chloramphenicol and 1% clotrimazole ointment three times a day for 3 days, and all healed without sequelae. CONCLUSIONS: Both fungal and bacterial ulcers that occur following traumatic corneal abrasions can be effectively prevented in a village setting by using relatively simple measures that local volunteer public health workers can easily be taught to employ.

Because the effects of forest disturbances (such as logging) are often specific to particular species, sites, landscapes, regions and forest types, management "shortcuts" such as indicator species, focal species and threshold levels of vegetation cover may be of limited generic value. We propose an alternative approach based on a set of five guiding principles for biodiversity conservation that are broadly applicable to any forested area: (1) the maintenance of connectivity; (2) the maintenance of landscape heterogeneity; (3) the maintenance of stand structural complexity; and (4) the maintenance of aquatic ecosystem integrity; (5) the use of natural disturbance regimes to guide human disturbance regimes. We present a checklist of measures for forest biodiversity conservation that reflects the multi-scaled nature of conservation approaches on forested land. At the regional scale, management should ensure the establishment of large ecological reserves. At the landscape scale, off-reserve conservation measures should include: (1) protected areas within production forests; (2) buffers for aquatic ecosystems; (3) appropriately designed and located road networks; (4) the careful spatial and temporal arrangement of harvest units; and (5) appropriate fire management practices. At the stand level, off-reserve conservation measures should include: (1) the retention of key elements of stand structural complexity (e.g., large living and dead trees with hollows, understorey thickets, and large fallen logs); (2) long rotation times (coupled with structural retention at harvest); (3) silvicultural systems alternative to traditional high impact ones (e.g., clearcutting in some forest types); and (4) appropriate fire management practices and practices for the management of other kinds of disturbances. Although the general ecological principles and associated checklist are intuitive, data to evaluate the effectiveness of many specific on- the-ground management actions are limited. Considerable effort is needed to adopt adaptive management "natural experiments" and monitoring to: (1) better identify the impacts of logging operations and other kinds of management activities on biodiversity, and; (2) quantify the effectiveness of impact mitigation strategies; and (3) identify ways to improve management practices.

Although aquaculture must provide much of the additional fish, it remains to be seen whether restored or enhanced capture fisheries can also help fill the projected gap in supply. The key challenges for capture fisheries involve reducing fishing effort, removing excess fishing capacity and building the institutional arrangements needed to restore spawning biomass to more productive levels, and to reverse degradation of the supporting habitats. Two interventions, based largely on hatchery technology, have the potential to reduce the time needed to rebuild some severely over-exploited fisheries, or improve the productivity of other 'healthy' fisheries. These interventions are 'restocking', which involves releasing cultured juveniles to restore spawning biomass to levels where the fishery can once again support regular harvests, and 'stock enhancement', which involves release of cultured juveniles to overcome recruitment limitation. However, despite the potential of these interventions, few restocking and stock enhancement programmes have met expectations. The main problems have been a pre- occupation with bio-technical research at the expense of objective analysis of the need for the intervention, and failure to integrate the technology within an appropriate management scheme that has the participation and understanding of the users. The papers presented at the Special Symposium on this subject at the Seventh Asian Fisheries Forum provide a series of valuable lessons to guide objective assessment of the potential for restocking and stock enhancement. They also show how to implement these interventions responsibly and effectively where they are deemed to add value to other forms of management. Above all, these studies demonstrate that restocking and stock enhancement programmes are applied in complex human-environment systems, involving dynamic interactions between the resource, the technical intervention and the people who use it.

Some show gradual differentiation due to isolation by distance, some show chaotic patchiness, and some show relative uniformity over large distances with striking discontinuities over short distances. These varying patterns reflect both the dispersal powers of the organism and its population history. The evolution of locally adapted genotypes is facilitated in populations with restricted gene flow, and such co-adapted genotypes may then vary from population to population depending on local selective forces. Restocking and stock enhancement programmes need to be aware of the stock structure of the target species, as the introduction of genotypes unrepresentative of the augmented population can have negative effects. Swamping the native population with large numbers of genotypes from a few matings, even if derived from the native population, can also be detrimental. It follows that, wherever possible, restocking and stock enhancement programmes should use broodstock taken directly from the population to be enhanced, and that large numbers of broodstock should be used. If broodstock cannot be taken from the population to be enhanced, they should be taken from the genetically most similar population available. Restocking and stock enhancement programmes should be genetically monitored to determine their impacts and outcomes.

Drinking water, urinary, or toenail arsenic levels were measured and cryopreserved lymphocytes of a subset of individuals enrolled in epidemiologic studies in New Hampshire and Sonora were obtained. First-morning-void urine samples were obtained in 100 mL polypropylene bottles and kept on ice. Real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed using gene-specific primers and reagents. It was found that arsenic exposure was associated with decreased expression of ERCCI in isolated lymphocytes at the mRNA and protein levels.

The interaction of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) was evaluated. Aminoguanidine (AG) strongly inhibited CYP1A1 activity and lung S9 activity-dependent 2-amenoathracene mutagenicity. AG significantly lowered DEP- and DEPE-induced iNOS activity but not the protein level while attenuating DEPE- but not DEP-mediated pulmonary inflammation, airway damage, and oxidant generation by AMs. The study showed that NO plays a major role in DEPE-induced lung inflammatory and CYP-dependent mutagen activation but a lesser role in particulate-induced inflammatory damage.

NC/Nga male mice were injected intradermally with mite allergen on their right ears. Exposure to DEHP at a dose of 0.8-20 mu g caused deterioration of atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions related to mire allergen; this was evident from macroscopic and microscopic examinations. These changes were consistent with the protein expression of proinflammatory molecules such as macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha and eotaxin in the ear tissue in overall trend. The results indicated that DEHP enhances atopic dermatitis-like skin lesions at hundred-fold lower levels than the no observed adverse effect level determined on histological changes in the liver of rodents.

Daily intakes of the micronutrients calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, barium, strontium, phosphorus, zinc, iron, and copper from 6-day duplicate diets and PbB concentrations were measured. The ages of the children ranged from 6 to 11 years, and the mother-child pairs were monitored from 12 to >24 months. Samples were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). It was found that the daily intakes of Pb, Cu, Zn, and Sr appeared to be significantly higher for the group 3. No statistically significant relationships were found between PbB concentrations and micronutrient intake.

Seven-day-old rat pups weighing around 10 g were used for measurement of SG in blood. The animals were exsanguinated through the right ventricle under isoflurane anesthesia at indicated times after spore instillation, and the blood samples were combined using three animals per time point. Samples of purified human serum albumin that had been incubated with increasing concentrations of SG showed concentration-dependent albumin bands in Western blots developed with anti-SG antibodies. MS analysis found that as many as 10 toxin molecules could be bound in vitro to one albumin molecule.

Recent biomonitoring studies have examined the levels of >200 chemicals. The chemicals detected by biomonitoring generally come from three types of sources namely, anthropogenic or man made process, normal biologic process, and naturally occurring chemicals in food. The standard method for estimating exposure is to use mathematical models to estimate the concentration of a chemical in various media to which persons were exposed. One of the most significant challenges in biologic monitoring is characterizing the relevance of the data. Factors to be considered when interpreting biomonitoring data include toxicologic factors namely, validity of the toxicologic or epidemiologic study, toxicokinetic considerations, adequacy of the sample size, reproducibility of the sample, and presence of confounding elements.

High prenatal exposure to PAHs was associated with lower mental development index at age 3. The odds of cognitive developmental delay were also significantly greater for children with high prenatal exposure. General estimated equation analysis showed a significant age PAH effect on mental development, confirming the age-specific regression findings. The results required confirmation but suggested that environmental PAHs at levels recently encountered in New York City air may adversely affect children's cognitive development at 3 years of age, with implications for school performance.

PBDEs and PCBs were measured in 89-paired samples of serum and breast milk collected in four regions of Japan in 2005. High-resolution gas chromatography (HRGC)/high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) was used for analysis of PBDEs and PCBs. The limit of detection (LOD) for each PCB congener was 1 pg/g in both serum and breast milk. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the geographic factor was the primary determinant for the PBDE levels in both milk and serum.

The number of gestational months occurring during the period of power plant operation provided a second, more general measure of exposure to plant emissions, in terms of duration. High PAH-DNA adduct levels were associated with decreased birth head circumference and reduced children's weight at 18 months, and 30 months of age, after controlling for potential confounders. It was found that exposure to elevated levels of PAHs, with the Tongliang power plant is associated with reduced fetal and child growth in the populations.

Controls were randomly selected at a 3:1 ratio from among the remaining 6,813 screening participants using frequently-matched age and sex groupings. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for systemic autoimmune diseases (SAIDs) among those greater than or equal to 65 years of age who had worked for the vermiculite mining company were 2.14 for all SAIDs and 3.23 for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Those who had reported frequent contact with vermiculite through various exposure pathways also demonstrated elevated risk for SAIDs and RA. Refined measurements of asbestos exposure and SAID status among the cohort would help to further clarify the relationship between these variables.

Hexavalent chromium is a confirmed carcinogen, and ingestion or inhalation over a period of time can cause serious, ultimately fatal, impacts. For some uses, the industry has begun experimenting with thermal spraying using a tungsten carbide substitute as an alternative to chrome baths. Schuh explains that tungsten atoms are about 10-12% larger than nickel atoms. Schuh points out that the chromium coating industry is a multidollar industry, and the problems associated with hexavalent chromium account for a significant percentage of the process cost.

A contracted laboratory certified by the Council of Labor in Taiwan conducted on-site toluene and noise exposure measurements. The prevalence of hearing loss of greater than or equal to 25 dB in the toluene plus noise group was much greater than that in the noise-only group and the administrative clerks. The risk ratio dropped to 5.8 when 0.5 kHz was excluded from the risk estimation. Hearing impairment was greater for the pure-tone frequency of 1 kHz than for that of 2 kHz. The results suggested that toluene exacerbates hearing loss in a noisy environment, with the main impact on the lower frequencies.

Over half of the cyanazine-exposed applicators had greater than or equal to 6 years of exposure at enrollment, and approximately 85% had begun using cyanazine before the 1990s. Adjusted Poisson regression was used to calculate rate ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of multiple cancer sites among cyanazine-exposed applicators. Cancer incidence comparison between applicators with the lowest cyanazine exposure and those with the highest exposure yielded the following for the LD metric namely, all cancers, RR = 0.99, prostate cancer, RR = 1.23, all lymphohematopoietic cancers, RR = 0.92, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, RR = 1.25, lung cancer, RR = 0.52.

PON1 a high-density lipoprotein-associated antioxidant enzyme was capable of hydrolyzing oxidized lipids and thus protects against antherosclerosis. The mean blood lead level of the cohort was 27.1 plus or minus 15 mu g/dL. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that blood lead levels were significantly associated with decreased serum PON1 activity in lead workers. The negative correlation was more evident for workers who carried the R192 allele, which had been suggested to be a risk factor for coronary heart disease. The results suggested that the decrease in serum PON1 activity due to lead exposure may render individuals more susceptible to atherosclerosis, particularly subjects who are homozygous for the R192 allele.

Allostatic load is a psysiologic mechanism behind the moderation of the toxic effect of environmental pollutants by social stressors. A conceptual framework for holistic approaches to future MCH research that elucidates the interplay of psychosocial stressors and environmental hazards in order to better explain drivers of MCH disparities is presented. The mechanism of allostatic load provides a potential pathway by which place-based stressors can modify the toxic effect of environmental hazard exposures to produce disparate patterns of birth outcomes between and within populations. It is expected that maternal immune systems that are shaped by chronic stressors before conception and during pregnancy may enhance particular vulnerabilities to adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Reference material or lead (Pb)-contaminated soils were administered orally to juvenile swine twice a day for 15 days. Each sample of test material that was evaluated in the swine bioassay program was thoroughly characterized with regard to mineral phase, particle size distribution, and matrix association using electron microprobe analysis. The relative Pb mass (RLM) in each phase was the length-weighted fraction of the total Pb in a sample that was present in a particular phase. It was found that all animals exposed to Pb in the oral route remained in good health throughout the study.

AN - 68781607; 16872529 AB - The study sought to determine the effect of using insecticide-treated clothes (ITCs) on personal protection against malaria infection. The specific objectives were to determine the effect of using ITCs on the rate of infection with malaria parasites and the effect on indoor mosquito density. This study was done in Dadaab refugee camps, North Eastern Province Kenya between April and August 2002, and involved a total of 198 participants, all refugees of Somali origin. The participants were selected through multi-stage cluster sampling. Half of the participants (treatment group) had their personal clothes worn on a daily basis (Diras, Saris, Jalbaabs, Ma'awis and shirts) and their bedding (sheets and blankets) treated with insecticide (permethrin). The other half (comparison group) had their clothes treated with placebo (plain water). Indoor mosquito density was determined from twelve households belonging to the participants; six in the treatment block and six in the comparison block. During pre-test and post-test, laboratory analysis of blood samples was done, indoor mosquito density determined and questionnaires administered. Using STATA statistical package, tests for significant difference between the two groups were conducted. Use of ITCs reduced both malaria infection rates and indoor mosquito density significantly. The odds of malaria infection in the intervention group were reduced by about 70 percent. The idea of using ITCs for malaria infection control was easily accepted among the refugees and they considered it beneficial. No side effects related to use of the ITCs were observed from the participants. The use of ITCs reduces malaria infection rate and has potential as an appropriate method of malaria control. It is recommended, therefore, that this strategy be considered for use among poor communities like slum dwellers and other underprivileged communities, such as street children and refugees, especially during an influx to malaria-prone regions. Further research on cost-effectiveness and sustainability of this strategy is worthwhile.

AN - 68583264; 16530996 AB - The methanol and aqueous extracts of 10 plant species (Acacia nilotica, Azadirachta indica, Carissa edulis, Fagaropsis angolensis, Harrissonia abyssinica, Myrica salicifolia, Neoboutonia macrocalyx, Strychnos heningsii, Withania somnifera and Zanthoxylum usambarensis) used to treat malaria in Meru and Kilifi Districts, Kenya, were tested for brine shrimp lethality and in vitro anti-plasmodial activity against chloroquine-sensitive and chloroquine-resistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum (NF54 and ENT30). Of the plants tested, 40% of the methanol extracts were toxic to the brine shrimp (LD(50)50microg/ml). The aqueous extracts of N. macrocalyx had mild brine shrimp toxicity (LD(50) 41.69+/-0.9microg/ml), while the rest were lower (LD(50)>100microg/ml). The methanol extracts of F. angolensis and Zanthoxylum usambarense had IC(50) values <6microg/ml while the aqueous ones had values between 6 and 15microg/ml, against both chloroquine-sensitive and resistant P. falciparum strains. The results support the use of traditional herbs for anti-malarial therapy and demonstrate their potential as sources of drugs.

AN - 68567536; 16645155 AB - Nitric oxide (NO) is a multifunctional biomolecule involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes, including regulation of blood vessel dilatation and anti-arteriosclerotic effects. However, a large amount of NO is toxic to the host and causes several diseases such as apoptosis, septic shock, and diabetes mellitus. Inducible-form NO synthase is induced in inflammatory diseases, including insulitis and arteriosclerosis. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress pathway was first identified as a cellular response pathway induced by the accumulation of unfolded proteins in ER to preserve ER functions. Later it was found that ER stress pathway is also activated by various cellular stresses to protect cells, but when stresses are severe, apoptosis is induced to remove damaged cells. It is reported that NO and reactive oxygen species disturb ER functions, then ER stress-mediated apoptosis pathway is activated. CHOP/GADD153, which belongs to C/EBP transcription factor family, is induced in this process and mediates apoptosis. ER stress pathway induced by NO can be involved in the pathogenesis of various vascular diseases.

AN - 68566156; 16763966 AB - Exposure to tobacco, both to the developing fetus as well as in the postnatal period, has been identified as a key risk factor in the etiology of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Polymorphisms in both the GSTT1 and CYP1A1 genes have been reported to impact the metabolic detoxification process for cigarette smoke and have been associated with low birth weight. Thus, expression of polymorphisms in these genes may account for the varying susceptibility to the adverse health consequences of tobacco exposure, including SIDS. We hypothesized that functional polymorphisms in GSTT1 (gene deletion) and CYP1A1 (m1, m2, and m3) might be associated with SIDS risk. DNA was prepared from 106 SIDS cases and 106 ethnicity- and gender-matched controls using standard methods. Regions of interest were amplified using PCR, subjected to enzyme digestion, and analyzed on agarose gel. No association was observed between the GSTT1 gene deletion or the CYP1A1 m1, m2, and m3 polymorphisms with SIDS risk when considered independently or in combination. These results indicate that the GSTT1 gene deletion and polymorphisms of CYP1A1 are not responsible for increased SIDS risk in our dataset. However, because SIDS cases with confirmed history of nicotine exposure were limited (7/106 cases), a relationship that might be apparent in a cohort with a large subset of SIDS cases with known history of nicotine exposure cannot be ruled out. A prospective study of SIDS cases with nicotine exposure history is necessary to resolve the relationship between nicotine metabolizing genes and SIDS. (c) 2006 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

AN - 68087077; 16730705 AB - We have recently purified a tetrameric carbonyl reductase from the cytosolic fraction of pig heart (pig heart carbonyl reductase). Since pig heart carbonyl reductase efficiently reduces all-trans retinal as the endogenous substrate, it probably plays an important role in retinoid metabolism in the heart. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the inhibitory effects of quinones and flavonoids on the reduction of all-trans retinal to all-trans retinol catalyzed by pig heart carbonyl reductase, using pig heart cytosol. Of quinones tested, 9,10-phenanthrenequinone, a component of diesel exhaust particles, was the most potent inhibitor for the all-trans retinal reduction, and a significant inhibition was also observed for plumbagin and menadione. The order of the inhibitory potencies for flavonoids was kaempferol > quercetin > genistein > myricetin = apigenin = daidzein. However, the inhibitory potencies of flavonoids were much lower than that of 9,10-phenanthrenequinone. 9,10-Phenanthrenequinone competitively inhibited the all-trans retinal reduction, whereas kaempferol exhibited a mixed-type inhibition. It is likely that 9,10-phenanthrenequinone strongly inhibits the reduction of all-trans retinal to all-trans retinol by acting as the substrate inhibitor of pig heart carbonyl reductase present in pig heart cytosol.

METHODS: Morning urine and blood samples were collected from 820 Swedish women 53-64 years of age. We measured urinary cadmium (U-Cd) and tubular effect markers [N-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminidase (NAG) and human complex-forming protein (protein HC) ] in 790 women and estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR; based on serum cystatin C) in 700 women. Age, body mass index, use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and blood lead levels were used as covariates for estimated GFR. BMDs/BMDLs corresponding to an additional risk (benchmark response) of 5 or 10% were calculated (the background risk at zero exposure was set to 5%) . The results were compared with the estimated critical concentrations obtained by applying logistic models used in previous studies on the present data. RESULTS: For both NAG and protein HC, the BMDs (BMDLs) of U-Cd were 0.5-1.1 (0.4-0.8) microg/L (adjusted for specific gravity of 1.015 g/mL) and 0.6-1.1 (0.5-0.8) microg/g creatinine. For estimated GFR, the BMDs (BMDLs) were 0.8-1.3 (0.5-0.9) microg/L adjusted for specific gravity and 1.1-1.8 (0.7-1.2) microg/g creatinine. CONCLUSION: The obtained benchmark doses of U-Cd were lower than the critical concentrations previously reported. The critical dose level for glomerular effects was only slightly higher than that for tubular effects. We suggest that the hybrid approach is more appropriate for estimation of the critical U-Cd concentration, because the choice of cutoff values in logistic models largely influenced the obtained critical U-Cd.

We term this the "disease-first" approach. The first step in this approach is to prioritize specific common diseases according to the public health burden they pose. Next researchers will gather information on molecular changes that accompany the pathogenesis of each condition, including cellular and tissue changes that occur over time. We will then work to link these biological responses to environmental exposures including toxicants, metals, toxins, and lifestyle and dietary factors that eventually lead to disease. The fundamental goal of the NIEHS is to learn how this knowledge can be used to reduce morbidity and extend longevity. We believe the disease-first approach will allow our field to greatly reduce the burden of human disease.

Regardless of which is true, the prevalence of ASDs raises the fundamental question of what causes these disorders. If there is indeed a rise in the number of cases, it would seem likely that a change in the environment could be the culprit. A number of major studies now under way are searching for clues about how the environment may contribute to the development of ASDs.

The so-called criteria of causation, originating from the seminal work of Sir Austin Bradford Hill and Mervyn Susser, are often schematically applied disregarding the fact that they were meant neither as criteria nor as a checklist for attributing to a hazard the potential of disease causation. Furthermore, there is a tendency to misinterpret the lack of evidence for causation as evidence for lack of a causal relation. There are no criteria in the strict sense for the assessment of evidence concerning an agent's or determinant's propensity to cause a disease, nor are there criteria to dismiss the notion of causation. Rather, there is a discursive process of conjecture and refutation. In this commentary, I propose a dialogue approach for the assessment of an agent or determinant. Starting from epidemiologic evidence, four issues need to be addressed: temporal relation, association, environmental equivalence, and population equivalence. If there are no valid counterarguments, a factor is attributed the potential of disease causation. More often than not, there will be insufficient evidence from epidemiologic studies. In these cases, other evidence can be used instead that increases or decreases confidence in a factor being causally related to a disease. Even though every verdict of causation is provisional, action must not be postponed until better evidence is available if our present knowledge appears to demand immediate measures for health protection.

Therefore, we investigated associations between ambient PM and markers of systemic inflammation among repeated measures from 44 senior citizens (/= 60 years of age) and examined susceptibility by conditions linked to chronic inflammation. Mixed models were used to identify associations between concentrations of fine PM [aerodynamic diameter /= 2.5 microm (PM2.5)] averaged over 1-7 days and measures of C-reactive protein (CRP) , interleukin-6 (IL-6) , and white blood cells (WBCs) . Effect modification was investigated for diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and elevated mean inflammatory markers. We found positive associations between longer moving averages of PM2.5 and WBCs across all participants, with a 5.5% [95% confidence interval (CI) , 0.10 to 11%] increase per interquartile increase (5.4 microg/m3) of PM2.5 averaged over the previous week. PM2.5 and CRP also exhibited positive associations among all individuals for averages longer than 1 day, with the largest associations for persons with diabetes, obesity, and hypertension. For example, an interquartile increase in the 5-day mean PM)2.5 (6.1 microg/m3) was associated with a 14% increase in CRP (95% CI, -5.4 to 37%) for all individuals and an 81% (95% CI, 21 to 172%) increase for persons with diabetes, obesity, and hypertension. Persons with diabetes, obesity, and hypertension also exhibited positive associations between PM2.5 and IL-6. Individuals with elevated mean inflammatory markers exhibited enhanced associations with CRP, IL-6, and WBCs. We found modest positive associations between PM2.5 and indicators of systemic inflammation, with larger associations suggested for individuals with diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and elevated mean inflammatory markers.

Using a sample of 218 farmworkers in 24 communities and labor camps in eastern Washington State, we examined the association between agricultural crop and OP pesticide metabolite concentrations in urine samples of adult farmworkers and their children and OP pesticide residues in house and vehicle dust samples. Commonly reported crops were apples (71.6%), cherries (59.6%), pears (37.2%), grapes (27.1%), hops (22.9%), and peaches (12.4%). Crops were grouped into two main categories: pome fruits (apples and pears) and non-pome fruits. Farmworkers who worked in the pome fruits had significantly higher concentrations of dimethyl pesticide metabolites in their urine and elevated azinphos-methyl concentrations in their homes and vehicles than workers who did not work in these crops. Among pome-fruit workers, those who worked in both apples and pears had higher urinary metabolites concentrations and pesticide residue concentrations in dust than did those who worked in a single pome fruit. Children living in households with pome-fruit workers were found to have higher concentrations of urinary dimethyl metabolites than did children of non-pome-fruit workers. Adult urinary concentrations showed significant correlations with both the vehicle and house-dust azinphos-methyl concentrations, and child urinary concentrations were correlated significantly with adult urinary concentrations and with the house-dust azinphos-methyl concentration.

Here we report the results of four exercises to validate and calibrate the model. METHODS: Model predictions of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) concentration in soil and carpet dust were tested against measurements collected at subjects' homes at interview. In addition, predictions of air intake of BaP were compared with blood PAH-DNA adducts. These same soil, carpet, and blood measurements were used for model optimization. In a separate test of the meteorological dispersion part of the model, predictions of hourly concentrations of carbon monoxide from traffic were compared with data collected at a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency monitoring station. RESULTS: The data for soil, PAH-DNA adducts, and carbon monoxide concentrations were all consistent with model predictions. The carpet dust data were inconsistent, suggesting possible spatial confounding with PAH-containing contamination tracked in from outdoors or unmodeled cooking sources. BaP was found proportional to other PAHs in our soil and dust data, making it reasonable to use BaP historical data as a surrogate for other PAHs. Road intersections contributed 40-80% of both total emissions and average exposures, suggesting that the repertoire of simple markers of exposure, such as traffic counts and/or distance to nearest road, needs to be expanded to include distance to nearest intersection.

These changes would mean that the database would no longer have quantitative data for some carcinogenic emissions, though the EPA says the public will still know what chemicals are present at facilities. The announcement of these proposed changes has unleashed a flood of responses from politicians, individuals, and industries. The EPA timetable calls for the rule changes to be finalized by December 2006, although congressional action may delay the changes.

We used data from six cross-sectional studies to evaluate whether people who live near several Superfund sites are more likely to have individual immunoglobulin test results (IgA, IgG, and IgM) below or above the reference range than those who live in comparison areas with no Superfund site. Study participants consisted of target-area residents who lived close to a Superfund site and comparison-area residents who were not located near any Superfund or hazardous waste sites. A consistent modeling strategy was used across studies to assess the magnitude of the relationship between area of residence and immunoglobulin test results, adjusting for potential confounders and effect modifiers. In all study areas, the results suggest that people who live near a Superfund site may have been more likely to have IgA test results above the reference range than comparison areas residents regardless of modeling strategy employed. The effect measures were larger for residents who lived in communities near military bases with groundwater contamination. For all analyses the wide confidence intervals reflect uncertainty in the magnitude of these effects. To adequately address the question of whether the immune system is affected by low-level exposures to hazardous substances, we recommend that more functional immunotoxicity tests be conducted in human populations where individual exposure information is available or when it can be reasonably estimated from environmental exposure measurements.

Plasma paraoxonase 1 (PON1) plays an important role in detoxification of various organophosphates. The goals of this study were to examine in the Center for Health Assessment of Mothers and Children of Salinas (CHAMACOS) birth cohort of Latina mothers and their newborns living in the Salinas Valley, California, the frequencies of five PON1 polymorphisms in the coding region (192QR and 55LM) and the promoter region (-162AG, -909CG, and -108CT) and to determine their associations with PON1 plasma levels [phenylacetate arylesterase (AREase) ] and enzyme activities of paraoxonase (POase) and chlorpyrifos oxonase (CPOase) . Additionally, we report results of PON1 linkage analysis and estimate the predictive value of haplotypes for PON1 plasma levels. We found that PON1-909, PON1-108, and PON1(192) had an equal frequency (0.5) of both alleles, whereas PON1-162 and PON1(55) had lower variant allele frequencies (0.2) . Nearly complete linkage disequilibrium was observed among coding and promoter polymorphisms (p 0.001) , except PON1(192) and PON1-162 (p 0.4) . Children's PON1 plasma levels (AREase ranged from 4.3 to 110.7 U/mL) were 4-fold lower than their mothers' (19.8 to 281.4 U/mL) . POase and CPOase activities were approximately 3-fold lower in newborns than in mothers. The genetic contribution to PON1 enzyme variability was higher in newborns (R2 = 25.1% by genotype and 26.3% by haplotype) than in mothers (R2 = 8.1 and 8.8%, respectively) . However, haplotypes and genotypes were comparable in predicting PON1 plasma levels in mothers and newborns. Most of the newborn children and some pregnant women in this Latino cohort may have elevated susceptibility to organophosphate toxicity because of their PON1192 genotype and low PON1 plasma levels.

DESIGN: A birth cohort was followed longitudinally for 3 years to determine incidence of lower respiratory illness (LRI). PARTICIPANTS: A total of 452 children born 1994-1996 in two districts in the Czech Republic participated. Evaluations: Indoor combustion exposures were home heating and cooking fuel, mother's smoking during pregnancy, and other adult smokers in the household. Diagnoses of LRI (primarily acute bronchitis) from birth to 3 years of age were abstracted from pediatric records. Questionnaires completed at delivery and at 3-year follow-up provided covariate information. LRI incidence rates were modeled with generalized linear models adjusting for repeated measures and for numerous potential confounders. RESULTS: LRI diagnoses occurred more frequently in children from homes heated by coal [vs. other energy sources or distant furnaces ; rate ratio (RR) = 1.45 ; 95% confidence interval (CI) , 1.07-1.97]. Maternal prenatal smoking and other adult smokers also increased LRI rates (respectively: RR = 1.48 ; 95% CI, 1.10-2.01 ; and RR = 1.29 ; 95% CI, 1.01-1.65) . Cooking fuels (primarily electricity, natural gas, or propane) were not associated with LRI incidence. For children never breast-fed, coal home heating and mother's smoking conferred substantially greater risks: RR = 2.77 (95% CI, 1.45-5.27) and RR = 2.52 (95% CI, 1.31-4.85) , respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Maternal smoking and coal home heating increased risk for LRI in the first 3 years of life, particularly in children not breast-fed. Relevance: Few studies have described effects of coal heating fuel on children's health in a Western country. Breast-feeding may attenuate adverse effects of prenatal and childhood exposures to combustion products.

We investigated a possible human association between maternal exposure to 27 organochlorine compounds used as pesticides and cryptorchidism among male children. DESIGN: Within a prospective birth cohort, we performed a case-control study; 62 milk samples from mothers of cryptorchid boys and 68 from mothers of healthy boys were selected. Milk was collected as individual pools between 1 and 3 months postpartum and analyzed for 27 organochlorine pesticides. RESULTS: Eight organochlorine pesticides were measurable in all samples (medians; nanograms per gram lipid) for cases/controls: 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl) ethylene (p,p -DDE) : 97.3/83.8; beta-hexachlorocyclohexane (beta-HCH) : 13.6/12.3; hexachlorobenzene (HCB) : 10.6/8.8; alpha-endosulfan: 7.0/6.7; oxychlordane: 4.5/4.1; 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl) ethane (p,p -DDT) : 4.6/4.0; dieldrin: 4.1/3.1 ; cis-heptachloroepoxide (cis-HE) : 2.5/2.2. Five compounds [octachlorostyrene (OCS); pentachlorobenzene, 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl) ethane(p,p -DDD) ; o,p -DDT ; mirex] were measurable in most samples (detection rates 90.8-99.2%) but in lower concentrations. For methoxychlor, cis-chlordane, pentachloroanisole (PCA), gamma-HCH, 1,1-dichloro-2-(2-chlorophenyl) -2,2(4-chlorophenyl) ethane, trans-chlordane, alpha-HCH, and o,p -DDE, both concentrations and detection rates were low (26.5-71.5%). Heptachlor, HCH (lc delta, epsilon), aldrin, beta-endosulfan and trans-heptachloroepoxide were detected at negligible concentrations and low detection rates and were not analyzed further. Seventeen of 21 organochlorine pesticides [p,p -DDT, p,p-DDE, p,p-DDD, o,p-DDT, HCH (alpha, beta, gamma), HCB, PCA, alpha-endosulfan, cis-HE, chlordane (cis-, trans-) oxychlordane, methoxychlor, OCS, and dieldrin] were measured in higher median concentrations in case milk than in control milk. Apart from trans-chlordane (p = 0.012), there were no significant differences between cryptorchid and healthy boys for individual chemicals. However, combined statistical analysis of the eight most abundant persistent pesticides showed that pesticide levels in breast milk were significantly higher in boys with cryptorchidism (p = 0.032). CONCLUSION: The association between congenital cryptorchidism and some persistent pesticides in breast milk as a proxy for maternal exposure suggests that testicular descent in the fetus may be adversely affected.

DESIGN: We used Andersen two-stage samplers to collect bacterial samples, the replicate plate method to isolate organisms, and the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method to determine antibiotic resistance. RESULTS: The percentage of organisms resistant to at least two antibiotic classes and all four classes evaluated were, respectively, 2.1 and 3.0 times higher inside (n = 69) than upwind (n = 59) of the facility. Staphylococcus aureus was the most prevalent organism recovered. Concentrations of antibiotic-resistant S. aureus decreased with increasing distance from the facility. Using Fisher's exact methods, the change in distribution of antibiotic resistance profiles for each antibiotic was statistically significant (oxytetracycline, p = 0.010; tetracycline, p = 0.014; ampicillin, p = 0.007; erythromycin, p = 0.035); however, this relationship was not seen with lincomycin and penicillin (p 0.05) . In addition, the levels of antibiotic-resistant S.aureus 25 m downwind were significantly greater than the levels from samples taken upwind from the facility for the same four antibiotics (p 0.05) . The percentage of resistant group A streptococci and fecal coliform increased within the facility compared with upwind values for all antibiotics evaluated,except for lincomycin. The percentage of resistant total coliform organisms increased within the facility compared with upwind values for oxytetracycline and tetracycline. CONCLUSIONS: Bacterial concentrations with multiple antibiotic resistances or multidrug resistance were recovered inside and outside to (at least) 150 m downwind of this facility at higher percentages than upwind. Bacterial concentrations with multiple antibiotic resistances were found within and downwind of the facility even after subtherapeutic antibiotics were discontinued. This could pose a potential human health effect for those who work within or live in close proximity to these facilities.

Linear regression analysis shows that arsenic as the sole etiologic factor accounts for only 21% of the variance in the village standardized mortality ratios for bladder and lung cancer. A previous study had reported the influence of confounders (township, BFD prevalence, and artesian well dependency) qualitatively, but they have not been introduced into a quantitative assessment. In this six-township study, only three townships (2, 4, and 6) showed a significant positive dose-response relationship with arsenic exposure. The other three townships (0, 3, and 5) demonstrated significant bladder and lung cancer risks that were independent of arsenic exposure. The data for bladder and lung cancer mortality for townships 2, 4, and 6 fit an inverse linear regression model (p 0.001) with an estimated threshold at 151 microg/L (95% confidence interval, 42 to 229 microg/L) . Such a model is consistent with epidemiologic and toxicologic literature for bladder cancer. Exploration of the southwest Taiwan cancer mortality data set has clarified the dose-response relationship with arsenic exposure by separating out township as a confounding factor. Key words: arsenic, blackfoot disease, bladder cancer, cancer risk, confounder, dose-response relationship, southwest Taiwan, threshold model.

AN - 21140111; 11537815 AB - We assessed determinants of cord serum polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) levels among 720 infants born between 1993 and 1998 to mothers living near a PCB-contaminated Superfund site in Massachusetts, measuring the sum of 51 PCB congeners (capital sigmaPCB) and ascertaining maternal address, diet, sociodemographics, and exposure risk factors. Addresses were geocoded to obtain distance to the Superfund site and neighborhood characteristics. We modeled log10(capital sigmaPCB) as a function of potential individual and neighborhood risk factors, mapping model residuals to assess spatial correlates of PCB exposure. Similar analyses were performed for light (mono-tetra) and heavy (penta-deca) PCBs to assess potential differences in exposure pathways as a function of relative volatility. PCB-118 (relatively prevalent in site sediments and cord serum) was assessed separately. The geometric mean of capital sigmaPCB levels was 0.40 (range, 0.068-18.14) ng/g serum. Maternal age and birthplace were the strongest predictors of capital sigmaPCB levels. Maternal consumption of organ meat and local dairy products was associated with higher and smoking and previous lactation with lower capital sigmaPCB levels. Infants born later in the study had lower capital sigmaPCB levels, likely due to temporal declines in exposure and site remediation in 1994-1995. No association was found between capital sigmaPCB levels and residential distance from the Superfund site. Similar results were found with light and heavy PCBs and PCB-118. Previously reported demographic (age) and other (lactation, smoking, diet) correlates of PCB exposure, as well as local factors (consumption of local dairy products and Superfund site dredging) but not residential proximity to the site, were important determinants of cord serum PCB levels in the study community.

Stool specimens from 561 invasive diarrhea patients were submitted for microscopic examination. A presumptive diagnosis of shigellosis based on microscopic examination was made in 389 of them; 227 had stool cultures positive for Shigella spp (Shigella patients). One hundred sixty-two patients with no detectable Shigella infection (non-Shigella invasive diarrhea cases) served as a comparison group. Two hundred twenty-seven randomly selected Shigella patients and 227 non-Shigella infectious diarrhea cases from the surveillance system database of the hospital constituted another group for comparative evaluation. The stool specimens of the patients were examined under the microscope, and isolation, biochemical characterization and serotyping of Shigella were performed. In comparison with non-Shigella invasive diarrhea cases, the presence of >50 WBC/hpf in association with any number of RBC in the fecal sample had a modest sensitivity of 67%, specificity of 59%, positive predictive value of 70%, negative predictive value of 56%, accuracy of 64%, and positive likelihood ratio of 1.6 in predicting shigellosis. Comparison between Shigella and non-Shigella infectious diarrhea pa-tients revealed the presence of >20 WBC/hpf was a less accurate predictor of shigellosis (sensitivity 51%, specificity 88%, positive predictive value 81%, negative predictive value 64%, accuracy 69%, and positive likelihood ratio 4.1). Direct microscopical examination of stool specimens for the presence of WBC and RBC may facilitate the early diagnosis of shigellosis, and may be a cheap alternative to stool culture in this setting.

This problem is particularly acute for pasture plants, since many have a track record of invasiveness. In this paper we develop an understanding of some aspects of the ecology of Trifolium repens L. (white clover) in montane vegetation communities in southeastern Australia as part of a larger project investigating potential ecological risks associated with commercial release of newly-developed transgenic virus-resistant T. repens cultivars. We use a combination of floristic surveys and biomass sampling to determine the habitat affinity of T. repens, the structure and composition of associated communities, and the scale at which different abiotic and biotic factors correlate with T. repens abundance. We also compare the abundance of native and exotic species within specific morpho-functional groups and use this to determine the relative significance of T. repens as a community constituent, and to identify native species that would be most at risk by expanding populations of T. repens. We found that T. repens comprises a relatively small component of the total community cover and biomass, but is one of the most abundant herbaceous species in mesic Poa - dominated grasslands and Poa-Eucalyptus woodlands in the study area, and that T. repens abundance is correlated at the within-community scale primarily with soil moisture and fertility. At smaller scales T. repens is limited by the hierarchical dominance of native graminoids and we conclude that competition for inter-tussock space in mesic communities is the most likely mechanism by which expanding populations of T. repens would influence populations of associated native species. These results have significant implications for the manner in which future analysis and risk quantification stages of the risk assessment of virus-resistant T. repens and other transgenic pasture plants in complex plant communities are performed.

Although conditioned by distortion effects originated by convolution between the sensitive volume of the probe and the space structures to be imaged, the scanner is able to provide images with good spatial resolution. The images obtained by the surface scanner can be made sensitive to relaxation parameters, magnetization or molecular self-diffusion; also, the dimension perpendicular to the sample surface can be scanned by varying the depth from which the probe detects the sample signal. It may scan surfaces arbitrarily large and with some degree of curvature.

Using a corridor system that was established at least 85 years prior, we investigated the extent of connectivity provided. This was undertaken using a combined ecological and genetic approach with connectivity estimated by gene flow. Vegetation within the corridor was found to be comparable in physical structure and species composition to that within the connected patches and the two target species (Melomys cervinipes and Uromys caudimaculatus) were shown to occur along the corridor but not within the surrounding matrix. These factors indicated that the corridor was suitable for use as a model system. The population structure (weights of individuals, sex ratios and the percentage of juveniles) of both species were also similar within the corridor and the connected patches suggesting that the corridor provided the resources necessary to sustain breeding populations along its length. Despite this, populations in patches linked by the corridor were found to show the same significant levels of genetic differentiation as those in isolated habitats. M. cervinipes, but not U. caudimaculatus, also showed population differentiation within the continuous habitat. Although based on only one corridor system, these results clearly demonstrate that connectivity between connected populations will not always be achieved by the construction or retention of a corridor and that connectivity cannot be inferred solely from the presence of individuals, or breeding populations, within the corridor.

Motor vehicles have become an increasingly important contributor to air pollution in major Chinese cities. While research interest in vehicular pollution in China has increased in recent years, there is little research on evaluating monetary costs of this pollution. This paper uses Beijing as a case study to evaluate the magnitudes of air pollution concerning motor vehicles. A monetary estimation of air pollution in regard to motor vehicles is presented on the basis of data for Beijing in 2000. Two methods-- willingness-to-pay and human capital methods--are used to analyse the high and low points of estimation.

In the present study, to elucidate the biological function of the HSP105 protein in cancer cells, we first established NIH3T3 cells overexpressing murine HSP105 (NIH3T3-HSP105). The NIH3T3-HSP105 cells acquired resistance to apoptosis induced by heat shock or doxorubicin. The small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated suppression of HSP105 protein expression induced apoptosis in human cancer cells but not in fibroblasts. By a combination of siRNA introduction and doxorubicin or heat shock treatment, apoptosis was induced synergistically in a human colon cancer cell line, HCT116. In vivo, siRNA inoculation into the human gastric cancer cell line KATO-3 established in the flank of an NOD SCID mouse suppressed the tumor growth. This siRNA-induced apoptosis was mediated through caspases, but not the p53 tumor suppressor protein, even though the HSP105 protein was bound to wild-type p53 protein in HCT116 cells. These findings suggest that the constitutive overexpression of HSP105 in cancer cells is involved in malignant transformation by protecting tumor cells from apoptosis. HSP105 may thus be a novel target molecule for cancer therapy and a treatment regimen using synthetic siRNA to suppress the expression of HSP105 protein may provide a new strategy for cancer therapy.

Data collection was conducted in a standardised laboratory environment and in the subjects' homes. Energy expenditure during self-perceived moderate paced walking around a quadrangle was also used as a marker of exercise intensity. Energy expenditure measured via indirect calorimetry was also predicted from: HR, CSA accelerometer counts, Quetelet's index and the Borg rating of perceived exertion. Ninety-six percent of the subjects walked at an intensity of > 3.0 METs. Except for vacuuming in the laboratory (V = 2.9 METs; P = 0.19), the intensity of each of the other activities was significantly (P less than or equal to 0.002) greater than 3.0 METs. Subjects swept (3.7 vs. 3.3 METs) and vacuumed (3.6 vs. 2.9 METs) at greater intensities in the home than in the laboratory, whereas the converse applied to window cleaning (3.3 vs. 3.6 METs) and lawn mowing (4.9 vs. 5.5 METs). Eighty-six percent (172 out of 200) of the VO sub(2) measurements were greater than or equal to 3.0 METs when the four household/garden activities were performed in the subjects' homes. These activities therefore have the potential to contribute to the 30 min day super(-1) of moderate intensity physical activity required to confer health benefits but there was much inter-individual variability in the intensity at which these tasks were performed. Random intercept regression analyses yielded prediction equations with 95% confidence intervals of plus or minus 0.80 and plus or minus 0.84 METs for the laboratory and home based equations, respectively. Considering the means for the five activities ranged from 2.9 to 5.5 METs, these 95% confidence intervals lack predictive precision at the individual level. Nevertheless, the laboratory and home-based equations predicted with correct classification rates of 89 and 90%, respectively, whether energy expenditure was < 3.0 or greater than or equal to 3.0 METs.

Despite significant climate differences the browsing trends at both mines were similar. By the first harvest (2 months after establishment) there were significant reductions in shoot mass and survival for five species exposed to browsing, while plants at high density were 25% smaller than widely spaced plants. By the second harvest (10 months), this increased to 7 of the 16 species, while spacing effects diminished. We showed the effects of herbivory to be profound, while interactions at the seedling stage were minimal. Species with higher levels of protein were not favoured, while those highest in tannins, salts and sulfur were usually avoided. As with other medium-sized herbivores, plant architecture (leaf shape) was a prominent selective agent: in this case, grasses and grasslike species were most likely to be selected and adversely affected, though some dicots were readily consumed. Browsing optimization (benefiting from herbivory) was identified in three native legumes with high growth rates. In our study, herbivore choice often equated to herbivore impact; however, future planting in rehabilitated areas should allow for resilience and compensation by some species. We offer suggestions aimed at broad silviculture practices: we showed that some species benefit from herbivory and suggest these be identified by land managers as they may serve as diversions for nearby rare or vulnerable species. .

For fisheries managed using Total Allowable Catches, such as Australia's Southern and Eastern Scalefish and Shark Fishery (SESSF), discarding of target species can occur for reasons related to the size of the fish caught, markets, and the amount of quota held by individual quota holders. This paper illustrates how the assessments for two of the species in the SESSF, blue grenadier, Macruronus novaezelandiae, and the western stock of blue warehou, Seriolella brama, are conducted to take account of discards. Discards of blue grenadier are predominantly small fish so the assessment distinguishes between retained and discarded fish, and includes likelihood components related to the weight of the discards and the age-structure of the discards. In contrast, discards of blue warehou are due primarily to quota-related issues, so the assessment adds the discards to the catches and the catch-rate indices, and fits to total catches and catch-rates. Model outputs suggest that strong year-classes can be detected before they enter the fishery by including data on discards in assessments while ignoring such data when conducting assessments can lead to biased assessment outcomes. Several caveats related to the use of data on discards in stock assessments are outlined.

Monitoring and analysis of the recent landcover dynamics through the integration of remote sensing and GIS could provide base information for documenting salinity change trends and for anticipating further degradation where the absence of long-term salinity records is an obstacle. Three Landsat TM/ETM+ satellite images taken over a span of 16 years (1987-2003) coupled with a 30-m DEM and field observations served as the basic sources of data. Standard image enhancements, classifications, and change detection techniques were applied to determine changes between the available images. Changes were analysed in conjunction with the land surface characteristics, such as slope, radiometric thermal temperature, vegetation indices, and tasselled cap transformations. Such analyses enabled the characterization of alterations in vegetation cover and provided evidence for locating possible future changes due to soil salinity. The results confirmed an acceleration in the rate of soil salinization and vegetation death after the year 2000. Further, this was found to be related to the relative climate warming and the improper drainage systems set up after the year 2000 in addition to the absence of an effective water resource management plan. Recommendations and measures that may prevent or ameliorate the exacerbation of these problems are proposed.

Apoptosis of OSNs was identified using immunohistochemistry for caspase-3 expression, electron microscopy for ultrastructral cellular morphology, and real-time polymerase chain reaction for electron microscopy for ultrastructural cellular morphology, and real-time polymerase chain reaction for elevated expression of the proapoptotic genes Fas, FasL, p75NGER, p53, Bax, caspase-3, and caspase activated DNase (CAD). Time-course studies with a single instillation of SG indicated that maximum atrophy of the olfactory epithelium occurred at 3 days postinstillation (PI). The findings suggested that neurotoxicity and inflammation within the nose and brain are potential adverse health effects of exposure to satratoxins and Stachybotrys in the indoor air of water-damaged buildings.

Initial experiments addressed whether PRN alters the class I major histocompatability complex (MHC) pathway for antigen processing and presentation by antigen-presenting cells (APCs), indirectly affecting effector function. Subsequent experiments addressed whether PRN treatment of CTLs directly inhibits their activation and revealed that 1 degree alloreactive CTLs exposed to PRN are unimpaired in their proliferative response and only marginally inhibited in their lytic activity. These findings may have important implications for the diagnosis and clinical management of anomalies of cell-mediated immunity resulting from environmental exposure to various herbicides and other pesticides.

Volunteer hikers performed pre- and posthike pulmonary function tests, and ambient ozone, PM sub(2.5), temperature, and relative humidity were monitored at the trailhead. Ozone and PM sub(2.5) concentrations measured during the study were below the current federal standards, and no significant associations was found of acute changes in pulmonary function with either pollutant. These finding were contrasted with those in the Mt. Washington study to examine the hypothesis that pulmonary health effects are associated with exposure to ozone and PM sub(2.5) in healthy adults engaged in moderate exercise.

Persistent organic pollutants are environmental contaminants that, because of their lipophilic properties and long half-lives, bioaccumulate within aquatic food webs and often reach high concentrations in marine mammals, such as harbor seals. Exposure to these contaminants is associated with developmental abnormalities, immunotoxicity and reproductive impairment in marine mammals and other high-trophic-level wildlife, mediated via a disruption of endocrine processes. The highly conserved thyroid hormones (THs) represent one vulnerable endocrine end point that is critical for metabolism, growth and development in vertebrates. The results suggest that TH system in harbor seals is highly sensitive to disruption by environmental contaminants.

Associations are assessed sing the case-crossover method for seven cities: Auckland and Christchurch, New Zealand; and Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney Australia. Results are combined across cities using a random-effects meta-analysis and stratified for two adult age groups: 15-64 years and greater than or equal to 65 years of age. Pollutants considered are nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, daily measures of particulate matter (PM) and ozone. Where multiple pollutants associations are found, a matched case-control analysis is used to identify the most consistent association. The results suggest that air pollution arising from common emission sources for CO, NO sub(2), and PM has significant associations with adult cardiovascular hospital admissions, especially in the elderly, at air pollution concentrations below normal health guidelines.

Disease exhaust is a mixture of combustion gases and ultrafine particles coated with organic compounds. There is concern whether exposure can result in or worsen obstructive airway diseases, but there is only limited information to assess this risk. A case-control study of railroad worker deaths between 1981 and 1982 is conducted using U.S. Railroad Retirement Board Job records and next-of-kin smoking, residential and vitamin use histories. There are 536 cases with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and 1,525 controls with causes of death not related to diesel exhaust or fine particle exposure. The results suggest that diesel-exhaust exposure contributed to COPD mortality in these workers.

The first 3 years of the initiative focused on supporting states and cities in developing capacity, information technology infrastructure and pilot projects to demonstrate electronic linkage of environmental hazard or exposure data and disease data. This transition could provide opportunities to further integrate research, surveillance and practice through attention to four areas. The first if to develop a shared and transparent knowledge base that draws on environmental health research and substantiates decisions about what to track and the interpretation of results. The second is to identify and address information needs of policy and stakeholder audiences in environmental health. The third is to adopt mechanisms for coordination decision-making and governance.

A multinational cohort of workers employed between 1920 and 1996 in 11 countries is assembled. Exposure to both volatile and nonvolatile organochlorine compounds is estimated at the department level using an exposure matrix. A standardized mortality ratio (SMR) analysis based on age and calender-period-specific national mortality rates and a Poisson regression analysis is conducted. It is observed that the study population consists of 60,468 workers. No excess risk is observed in cancers of a priori interest, although mortality from Hodgkin disease is elevated. An evidence that exposure to organochlorines at the levels experienced in the pulp and paper industry is associated with an increased risk of cancer, apart from a weak but significant association between all-cancer mortality and weighted cumulative volatile organochlorine exposure is found.

PUR is developed in the late 1990s by household products giant Procter & Gamble (P&G) and shares its name - but not its technology - with home tap water filters sold by that company in developed nations.

Cohort members were questioned biweekly about symptoms, and data were collected about the areas of the bay in which they worked. These latter data were matched with data on the presence or absence of Pfiesteria in each area, based on polymerase chain reaction analysis of > 3,500 water samples. No correlation was found between work in an area where Pfiesteria was identified and specific symptomalogy or changes on neuropsychological tests. Although high-level or outbreak-associated exposure to Pfiesteria species may have an effect on health, routine occupational exposure to estuarine environments in which these organisms are present does not appear to pose a significantly health risk.

AN - 68052230; 16581309 AB - A novel in vitro bladder preparation was used to examine effect of various stimuli (stretch, von Frey hair compression, stroking of receptive fields, applications of chemical stimuli to the mucosa) on electrophysiological recordings from guinea pig bladder afferents in vitro. Several functionally distinct classes of bladder sensory neurons were distinguished. These include stretch-sensitive afferents-muscle mechanoreceptors which behaved as "in-series tension receptors" and tension-mucosal mechanoreceptors, which could be activated by stretch, mucosal stroking with light von Frey hair (0.1-2 mN) and by hypertonic solutions (1 M mannitol and 490-850 mM NaCl) applied locally to their receptive fields in the mucosa. In addition, we have recorded stretch-insensitive afferents-mucosal mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors. The non-selective P2X/P2Y purinoreceptor antagonist, PPADS (30 microM) did not affect stretch-induced firing by low threshold muscle mechanoreceptors but significantly inhibited alpha,beta-methylene ATP (30 microM)-induced contractions and associated afferent firing. Transduction by low threshold stretch-sensitive muscle mechanoreceptors does not appear to involve exocytotic synaptic transmission since it occurs in Ca2+-free (with 1 mM EDTA and 6 mM Mg2+) Krebs solution. The data suggest that the endogenous transmitter ATP is not involved in mechanotransduction by this specific class of low threshold muscle mechanoreceptors in the guinea pig bladder; rather they appear to transduce mechanical stimuli directly, possibly via stretch-activated ion channels. Mechanisms of activation of other classes of mechanoreceptors and chemoreceptors remain to be established.

For a 16-year old Pinus radiataD. Don. plantation in Australia, we quantified the dry mass, C and nitrogen (N) stored in woody debris (including dead logs, branches and twigs) relative to the loss of soil C that followed afforestation of the native pasture onto which the plantation had been established. This debris derived mainly from forest management (thinning and pruning) 8 years earlier. The line intersect technique was used on ten 10mx12m plots to estimate the mass of woody debris on the forest floor in 10 diameter classes. There was 6.1Mgha super(-) super(1) of oven dry woody debris, containing 3.1Mg Cha super(-) super(1) and 12.9kgNha super(-) super(1), on the forest floor. The largest diameter class (>50mm) contributed most of the debris' mass. We also estimated rates of decomposition, and C and N release from the woody debris and calculated its half-life and ''life time'' (95% disappearance). The overall decay rate constant (k) for all woody debris was 0.069 year super(-) super(1). The overall half-life and lifetime was 10 and 43 years, respectively. Almost half (42%) of the original C in woody debris was released in the 8 years of decay, but only 12% of the original N was released. Decay rate varied with size class with the largest diameter (>50mm) decaying the fastest, the smallest diameter class (<5mm) decaying the second fastest, and the intermediate size-classes being the slowest to decay. Although N was slowly released from the woody debris, this pool was an effective C sink per unit-N involved because of its high C:N ratio. The C stored in the pool offset 22% of the observed soil C-stock reduction 16 years after land use change from pasture to pine plantation.

AN - 67959730; 16310323 AB - To conduct a systematic review of hospital alcohol screening studies to identify effective and efficient evidence-based strategies. Sixty-five studies (N=100,980) of alcohol problem prevalence amongst hospital patients were reviewed. Prevalence of positive alcohol screens varied according to hospital location, screening tool and patient characteristics. BAC measures (26%) were nearly twice as likely (OR=1.92, p<.001) to reveal positive screens in the ED than self-reports (16%). No difference was found in prevalence of self-report positive screens between ED (16%) and ward settings (17%). Males were two to four times more likely than females to screen positive (BAC: OR=2.37, p<.001, ED self-report: OR=3.07, p<.001, ward self-report: OR=4.30, p<.001). ED patients aged 20-40 years and ward patients aged 30-50 years had the highest prevalence of positive screens. Prevalence of risky or problematic drinking among hospital patients is high and warrants systematic screening and intervention. Many hospitals lack sufficient resources to undertake widespread screening programs. For optimum return on resources, it is recommended to screen males in the ED using BAC measures. Established protocols applying priority criteria and staff training can increase screening accuracy and effectiveness.

Although indirect recognition imposes selection against Avr effector function, pathogen effector molecules recognized through direct interaction may overcome resistance through sequence diversification rather than loss of function. Here we show that the flax rust fungus AvrL567 genes, whose products are recognized by the L5, L6, and L7 R proteins of flax, are highly diverse, with 12 sequence variants identified from six rust strains. Seven AvrL567 variants derived from Avr alleles induce necrotic responses when expressed in flax plants containing corresponding resistance genes (R genes), whereas five variants from avr alleles do not. Differences in recognition specificity between AvrL567 variants and evidence for diversifying selection acting on these genes suggest they have been involved in a gene-specific arms race with the corresponding flax R genes. Yeast two-hybrid assays indicate that recognition is based on direct R-Avr protein interaction and recapitulate the interaction specificity observed in planta. Biochemical analysis of Escherichia coli-produced AvrL567 proteins shows that variants that escape recognition nevertheless maintain a conserved structure and stability, suggesting that the amino acid sequence differences directly affect the R-Avr protein interaction. We suggest that direct recognition associated with high genetic diversity at corresponding R and Avr gene loci represents an alternative outcome of plant-pathogen coevolution to indirect recognition associated with simple balanced polymorphisms for functional and nonfunctional R and Avr genes.

AN - 68278464; 17203715 AB - The authors describe a pediatric patient who presented with a 3-month history of dry cough, chest pain, progressive breathlessness, fever and recurrent pneumonia with atelectasis. A fiberoptic bronchoscopy revealed a whitish lesion at the left bronchus. A biopsy of the lesion demonstrated an anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). Evaluation for disseminated disease was negative. After the patient completed chemotherapy the lesion abated and she has been in complete remission for almost 4 years. Although extranodal involvement of ALCL is frequent at some stage of the disease, endobronchial involvement is extremely rare even in the presence of advanced disease. To our knowledge, this is the first primary isolated endobronchial ALCL described in a pediatric patient.

Cronquist). AN - 67986706; 16418861 AB - Glyphosate resistant crops are useful to agriculture by facilitating the use of nonselective herbicides, such as RoundUp, that have low human and environmental toxicity. The occurrence of glyphosate resistant weeds, however, has raised concern about the future utility of these crops. Conyza canadensis (L.) Cronquist (marestail or horseweed) is one such glyphosate resistant weed that has yet to be fully analyzed or established in tissue culture. Tissue culture enables the examination of physiological characteristics of a plant in an aseptic and controlled environment. For the present study, mairstail was cultured on a Murashige and Skoog based medium supplemented with 6-benzylaminopurine, and alpha-naphthaleneacetic acid. Plant regeneration was achieved on the same basal medium supplemented with only gibberellic acid. Glyphosate resistance could be demonstrated in the cultured tissues. The cultures could also be transformed with Agrobacterium tumefaciens without chemically inducing virulence using phenolics or glucose and resulting in a transformation frequency (transgenic events per total number of explants used) of about 13%. The tissue culture growth, preliminary glyphosate resistance data and genetic transformation data gathered in this project provide the means to further evaluate the mode of glyphosate resistance expressed by marestail.

AN - 67946477; 16413645 AB - This paper provides a poststructuralist analysis of the cultural inscription of drug-using subjects in the neo-liberal discourses of contemporary harm reduction. We argue that although neo-liberal discourses downplay material constraints on individual human agency, divert policy and practice away from structural issues, limit the conception of effective strategies for harm reduction and ignore alternative formulations of the subject, they are also potentially empowering for drug users. Approximating the neo-liberal subject offers political benefits in terms of recognition, trust and legitimation, even as those values assume and reproduce understandings of behaviour, thought and sociality that fit only poorly the realities faced by many drug users. We explore this dilemma and consider three available directions in formulating the subject of harm reduction: (1) embracing the neo-liberal subject; (2) employing a more contextualised version of the neo-liberal subject; and (3) adopting alternative notions of subjectivity, extending the critique of the neo-liberal subject to all citizens, not solely drug users. To clarify some of these issues surrounding this strategic process, the paper considers another field in which struggles over the nature of the subject have been conducted--feminism. The intention is not to resolve the question of the most appropriate subject for harm reduction, but to sketch the political consequences of adopting particular models of the subject as a stimulus to further discussion and debate.

History, Capital Punishment and the Urban Square AN - 61652512; 200719859 AB - Summary: From the perspective of traditional Western histories of the urban realm, public squares have been seen to represent a privileged site of urban containment expressive of a community's highest values of individual freedom, social inclusion and cultural refinement. But such views can be misleading. For what is omitted from the scope of these conventional historical visions and their ideal and conforming subjects of public spatial discourse, is an entire array of other and darker narratives that equally speak of personal choice, collective participation and cultural value. Capital punishment reflects such an example, a practice that once comprised an integral part of the political, social and cultural landscape of a Western city's squares and streets. Drawing from Michel Foucault's Discipline and Punish and its implications on how we might begin to re-read the history of the urban square, the paper seeks to explore those practices and modes of rationality that underpinned the once-public spectacle of executions and torture as a vital condition of urban life. In particular, this discussion will question the assumptions of an historical tradition that continues to reduce our understanding of the city and its open spaces of public appearance and action to an idealistic and illusory reality of the urban realm and its narrow framing of collective conduct, necessity and significance.

The government had suffered a series of reverses and embarrassments in the previous few years, including the dismissal of five ministers. Public controversy had arisen over attempts to control the media, over royalty's business interests, and finally over the price of electricity. These matters were bound to be exploited in the 2005 election, but the manner in which that happened was unexpected because of the new roles in politics for an old radical and one of the dismissed ministers. Moreover, the government had announced a minor but significant reform involving popular representation in cabinet. The general election of March 2005 confirmed the grip that critics of the government have on popular politics but the events of the next few months showed the government's run of bad luck continuing, so much so that it suffered a serious loss of respect. The government has had to make concessions unprecedented in constitutional times. Adapted from the source document.

It was drafted with input from a national web survey, the participation of 90 individuals during a two-day Strategic Planning Forum, discussions with members of the NIEHS Public Interest Liaison Group, numerous opportunities for public review and comment on draft documents, and much input from NIEHS staff and members of the NIEHS National Advisory Environmental Health Sciences Council. However, now that the Strategic Plan has been released, there are two obvious next questions: what does it mean, and how will it impact the future opportunities and direction of our field?

We present an overview of concepts that should be considered when using biomonitoring or biomonitoring data, assess the current status of biomonitoring, and detail potential advancements in the field that may improve our ability to both collect and interpret biomonitoring data. We discuss issues such as the appropriateness of biomonitoring for a given study, the sampling time frame, temporal variability in biological measurements to nonpersistent chemicals, and the complex issues surrounding data interpretation. In addition, we provide recommendations to improve the utility of biomonitoring in farmworker studies.

Environmental exposure assessment provides a means to evaluate pesticides in the environment and human contact with these chemicals through identification of sources and routes of exposure. To date, a variety of methods have been used to assess pesticide exposure among farmworker families, mostly focusing on dust and handwipe samples. While many of the methods are similar, differences in the collection, chemical analysis, and statistical analysis, can limit the comparability of results from farmworker studies. This mini-monograph discusses the strategies used to assess pesticide exposures, presents limitations in the available data for farmworkers, and suggests research needs for future studies of pesticide exposure among farmworker families.

In this study we examined respiratory effects of ozone in infants who may be vulnerable, particularly if they are children of asthmatic mothers. DESIGN: Women delivering babies at one of five hospitals in southwestern Virginia between 1994 and 1996 were invited to participate in a cohort study; 780 women enrolled. Ambient air quality data (ozone and particulate matter) were collected at a central monitoring site. PARTICIPANTS: This analysis is of 691 infants followed for approximately 83 days between 10 June and 31 August 1995 and/or 1996 ; they contributed a total of 52,421 infant-days of follow-up. Mothers were interviewed at enrollment and approximately biweekly to report infants' daily symptoms. Repeated measures logistic regression models were run separately for wheeze, difficulty breathing, and cough. Ozone metrics included 24-hr average, peak 1-hr, and maximum 8-hr average. Analyses were repeated for the 61 infants whose mothers had asthma. RESULTS: For every interquartile-range increase in same-day 24-hr average ozone, likelihood of wheeze increased 37% [95% confidence interval (CI), 2-84%]. Among infants of asthmatic mothers, same-day 24-hr average ozone increased likelihood of wheeze 59% (95% CI, 1-154%) and of difficulty breathing 83% (95% CI, 42-136%). Maximum 8-hr ozone and peak 1-hr ozone were associated with difficulty breathing, but not wheeze, in infants of asthmatic mothers. Ozone was not associated with cough. CONCLUSIONS: At levels of ozone exposure near or below current U.S. EPA standards, infants are at increased risk of respiratory symptoms, particularly infants whose mothers have physician-diagnosed asthma.

This study consists of a series of National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) measuring serum cotinine as an index of SHS exposure of participants. Study participants were individuals representative of the U.S. civilian, noninstitutionalized population, or = 4 years of age. We analyzed serum cotinine and interview data from NHANES obtained during surveys conducted during four distinct time periods. Our results document a substantial decline of approximately 70% in serum cotinine concentrations in nonsmokers during this period. This decrease was reflected in all groups within the population regardless of age, sex, or race/ethnicity. The large decrease that we observed in serum cotinine concentrations suggests a substantial reduction in the exposure of the U.S. population to SHS during the 1990s. The exposure of nonsmokers to SHS represents an important public health concern. Our findings suggest that recent public health efforts to reduce such exposures have had an important effect, although children and non-Hispanic black nonsmokers show relatively higher levels of serum cotinine.

In cells treated with 10 microM cadmium chloride, Grp78 protein levels increased after 6 hr and remained elevated at 24 hr. When cells were incubated with 1-20 microM CdCl2 for 6 hr, Grp78 increased in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, Grp78 mRNA levels were elevated in response to CdCl2 exposure. After exposure to 10 microM CdCl2, the levels of activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) were increased at 2 hr, with a further enhancement after that ; this accumulation followed the transient but marked phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 (eIF2(alpha)) on serine 51. Although ATF4 mRNA levels increased mildly by CdCl2 exposure, treatment with actinomycin D did not suppress CdCl2-induced accumulation of ATF4 protein, suggesting the involvement of posttranscriptional and, in part, transcriptional mechanisms. Compared with other heavy-metal compounds such as manganese chloride, zinc chloride, mercuric chloride, and lead chloride, CdCl2 could increase the levels of Grp78, ATF4, and the phosphorylated form of eIF2(alpha) more markedly without definite cellular damage. The silencing of Grp78 expression using short-interference RNA enhanced CdCl2-induced cellular damage. These results show that cadmium induces the expression of Grp78 probably via phosphorylation of eIF2(alpha) and resultant translation of ATF4, and this ER stress response plays a role in protection against cadmium cytotoxicity in this renal epithelial cell.

Many of soy's effects are attributed to its isoflavone components, but the strength of the relationships and whether the effects are beneficial are strongly debated ; one of the most heated debates is over the safety of soy-based infant formula.

Biomarkers are needed to identify the resulting health effects, particularly focusing on early changes at a subcellular level. We used a suite of complementary biomarkers to signal contaminant-induced changes in the DNA structure and cellular physiology of the livers and gills of English sole (Parophrys vetulus) . These sediment-dwelling fish were obtained from the industrialized lower Duwamish River (DR) in Seattle, Washington, and from Quartermaster Harbor (QMH) , a relatively clean reference site in south Puget Sound. Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) , and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) identified potentially deleterious alterations in the DNA structure of the DR fish livers and gills, compared with the QMH fish. Expression of CYP1A (a member of the cytochrome P450 multigene family of enzymes) signaled changes in the liver associated with the oxidation of organic xenobiotics, as previously found with the gill. The FT-IR models demonstrated that the liver DNA of the DR fish had a unique structure likely arising from exposure to environmental chemicals. Analysis by LC/MS and GC/MS showed higher concentrations of DNA base lesions in the liver DNA of the DR fish, suggesting that these base modifications contributed to this discrete DNA structure. A comparable analysis by LC/MS and GC/MS of base modifications provided similar results with the gill. The biomarkers described are highly promising for identifying contaminant-induced stresses in fish populations from polluted and reference sites and, in addition, for monitoring the progress of remedial actions.

In this study we investigated oxidative stress and As exposure by determining gene expression of OGG1, which codes for an enzyme, 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase, involved in removing 8-oxoguanine in As-exposed individuals. Bayingnormen (Ba Men) residents in Inner Mongolia are chronically exposed to As via drinking water. Water, toenail, and blood samples were collected from 299 Ba Men residents exposed to 0.34-826 microg/L As. RNA was isolated from blood, and mRNA levels of OGG1 were determined using real-time polymerase chain reaction. OGG1 expression levels were linked to As concentrations in drinking water and nails, selenium concentrations in nails, and skin hyperkeratosis. OGG1 expression was strongly associated with water As concentrations (p 0.0001). Addition of the quadratic term significantly improved the fit compared with the linear model (p = 0.05) . The maximal OGG1 response was at the water As concentration of 149 microg/L. OGG1 expression was also significantly associated with toenail As concentrations (p = 0.015) but inversely associated with nail Se concentrations (p = 0.0095) . We found no significant differences in the As-induced OGG1 expression due to sex, smoking, or age even though the oldest group showed the strongest OGG1 response (p = 0.0001) . OGG1 expression showed a dose-dependent increased risk of skin hyperkeratosis in males (trend analysis, p = 0.02) , but the trend was not statistically significant in females. The results from this study provide a linkage between oxidative stress and As exposure in humans. OGG1 expression may be useful as a biomarker for assessing oxidative stress from As exposure.

AN - 21165816; 11512422 AB - The U.S. EPA's new Protections for Subjects in Human Research rule came into effect on 7 April 2006, born of a need to tighten the ethical guidelines controlling human experimentation to determine pesticide toxicity. Just two weeks after the rule came into force a coalition of labor and environmental interest groups filed suit against the EPA, charging that the rule fails to adequately protect human subjects, especially vulnerable subgroups such as pregnant women and children, and actually ultimately encourages, rather than deters, human testing. The case is now before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York City, which must determine if the rule safeguards Americans against unethical pesticide experimentation. A ruling could take a year or more to be issued; meanwhile, the new rule is in force.

Removal of these regulators can result in elemental mercury spills inside the home. In the summer of 2000, mercury spills were discovered in the basements of several Chicago-area homes after removal of gas regulators by gas company contractors. Subsequent inspections of approximately 361,000 homes by two northern Illinois gas companies showed that 1,363 homes had residential mercury contamination. Urine mercury screening was offered to concerned residents, and results of urine bioassays and indoor mercury air measurements were available for 171 homes. Six of these 171 homes (3.5%) had a cumulative total of nine residents with a urine mercury or = 10 microg/L. The highest urine mercury concentration observed in a resident was 26 microg/L. Positive bioassays were most strongly associated with mercury air concentrations 10 microg/m3 on the first floor [odds ratio (OR) = 21.4 ; 95% confidence interval (CI) , 3.6-125.9] rather than in the basement (OR = 3.0 ; 95% CI, 0.3-26) , and first-floor air samples were more predictive of positive bioassays than were basement samples. Overall, the risk of residential mercury contamination after gas regulator removal ranged from 0.9/1,000 to 4.3/1,000 homes, depending on the gas company, although the risk was considerably higher (20 of 120 homes, 16.7%) for one of the contractors performing removal work for one of the gas companies. Gas companies, their contractors, and residents should be aware of these risks and should take appropriate actions to prevent these spills from occurring and remediate them if they occur.

Pesticide exposure research has been spurred on by the development of sensitive and reliable laboratory techniques that allow the detection of minute amounts of pesticides or pesticide metabolites. The power of research on farmworker pesticide exposure has been limited because of variability in the collection of exposure data, the predictors of exposure considered, the laboratory procedures used in analyzing the exposure, and the measurement of exposure. The Farmworker Pesticide Exposure Comparable Data Conference assembled 25 scientists from diverse disciplinary and organizational backgrounds to develop methodologic consensus in four areas of farmworker pesticide exposure research: environmental exposure assessment, biomarkers, personal and occupational predictors of exposure, and health outcomes of exposure. In this introduction to this mini-monograph, first, we present the rationale for the conference and its organization. Second, we discuss some of the important challenges in conducting farmworker pesticide research, including the definition and size of the farmworker population, problems in communication and access, and the organization of agricultural work. Third, we summarize major findings from each of the conference's four foci-environmental exposure assessment, biomonitoring, predictors of exposure, and health outcomes of exposure-as well as important laboratory and statistical analysis issues that cross-cut the four foci.

Although these methods may be executed safely, formation of toxic combustion or reaction by-products is still a cause of concern. Emissions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) ; chlorinated hydrocarbons (CHCs) , including polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans ; and toxic metals (e.g., chromium VI) have historically been the focus of combustion and health effects research. However, fine particulate matter (PM) and ultrafine PM, which have been documented to be related to cardiovascular disease, pulmonary disease, and cancer, have more recently become the focus of research. Fine PM and ultrafine PM are effective delivery agents for PAHs, CHCs, and toxic metals. In addition, it has recently been realized that brominated hydrocarbons (including brominated/chlorinated dioxins) , redox-active metals, and redox-active persistent free radicals are also associated with PM emissions from combustion and thermal processes. In this article, we discuss the origin of each of these classes of pollutants, the nature of their association with combustion-generated PM, and the mechanisms of their known and potential health impacts.

AN - 21154193; 11513582 AB - In 2001, letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to newspapers and television stations in New York and to two U.S. senators on Capitol Hill, fueling fears that future attacks could be more widespread. Now University of Central Florida researchers are developing a technique to quickly produce hundreds of millions of doses of a potentially safer anthrax vaccine. The technique uses genetically modified tobacco plants to grow protective antigen, a component of the Bacillus anthracis bacterium that plays a key role in the vaccine. Unlike traditional anthrax vaccine created through fermentation, the plant-based version would be free of other, potentially more toxic components of the B. anthracis bacterium. Eventually, plant-based vaccines could be developed for other diseases as well, such as cholera, amebiasis, plague, and hepatitis.

Previously, we developed a method to create historical crop maps using a geographic information system. The aim of the present study was to determine whether crop maps are useful for predicting levels of crop herbicides in carpet dust samples from residences. From homes of participants in a case-control study of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in Iowa (1998-2000), we collected vacuum cleaner dust and measured 14 herbicides with high use on corn and soybeans in Iowa. Of 112 homes, 58% of residences had crops within 500 m of their home, an intermediate distance for primary drift from aerial and ground applications. Detection rates for herbicides ranged from 0% for metribuzin and cyanazine to 95% for 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Six herbicides used almost exclusively in agriculture were detected in 28% of homes. Detections and concentrations were highest in homes with an active farmer. Increasing acreage of corn and soybean fields within 750 m of homes was associated with significantly elevated odds of detecting agricultural herbicides compared with homes with no crops within 750 m (adjusted odds ratio per 10 acres = 1.06; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-1.11). Herbicide concentrations also increased significantly with increasing acreage within 750 m. We evaluated the distance of crop fields from the home at 100, 101-250, 251-500, and 501-750 m. Including the crop buffer distance parameters in the model did not significantly improve the fit compared with a model with total acres within 750 m. Our results indicate that crop maps may be a useful method for estimating levels of herbicides in homes from nearby crop fields.

Although a number of health conditions have been associated with pesticide exposure, clear linkages have yet to be made between exposure and health effects except in cases of acute pesticide exposure. In this article, we review the most common health end points that have been studied and describe the epidemiologic challenges encountered in studying these health effects of pesticides among farmworkers, including the difficulties in accessing the population and challenges associated with obtaining health end point data. The assessment of neurobehavioral health effects serves as one of the most common and best examples of an approach used to study health outcomes in farmworkers and other populations exposed to pesticides. We review the current limitations in neurobehavioral assessment and strategies to improve these analytical methods. Emerging techniques to improve our assessment of health effects associated with pesticide exposure are reviewed. These techniques, which in most cases have not been applied to farmworker populations, hold promise in our ability to study and understand the relationship between pesticide exposure and a variety of health effects in this population. Key words: biomarkers, cancer, epidemiology, health outcomes, immigrants, neurobehavioral, neuropathy, pesticides.

Persons with occupational exposures or commuting to other towns were excluded. Residents from Hoboken had significantly higher levels of blood lead and serum zinc and polychlorinated biphenyls. Surprisingly, residents of Peer had significantly higher levels of serum cadmium, dioxin-like activity in blood fat, and urinary 1-hydroxypyrene. For 5 of the 12 TAPs assessed in this study, we observed significant differences in serum levels among residents of the three municipalities after adjusting for personal or lifestyle parameters. Although we found levels of internal exposure to pollutants to be quite homogeneous in Flanders, we found significantly higher levels of TAPs only in the industrial suburbs. In multiple regression with all 29 available personal, lifestyle, and internal exposure parameters, blood lead levels showed a positive association with serum levels of anti-p53, carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA), and tissue polypeptide-specific antigen (TPS) and with an index for mean TAP level (I(tap)); dioxin-like activity in serum and serum copper showed a positive association with serum CA 125 (cancer antigen 125); and serum zinc showed a positive association with serum levels of c-erbB-2 ectodomain and TPS. An index of internal exposure showed a positive association with serum levels of both CEA and anti-p53 and with I(tap). This study provides some evidence that levels of internal exposure such as those present in Flanders, in particular concerning lead, are indeed associated with biologic effects.

This was the first time in Australia that wide-angle data were collected using a vibrator source and with a high density of observations. Unlike other wide-angle surveys carried out in other parts of the world, our survey used both a smaller number of sweeps, and shorter sweeps. We recorded three sweeps (each with its own frequency range) at each vibration point. The experiment demonstrated that the sum of three 12 s sweeps using 3 large vibrators provides enough energy to record signal at offsets up to up to 60-70 km. A comparison of individual shot gathers from near-vertical data and receiver gathers from wide- angle data demonstrated higher reflectivity in near-vertical data. This may be due to differences in the frequency bands of the recording equipment. The after stack section obtained from dense wide-angle data is different from that obtained from conventional near-vertical reflection data. The conventional reflection section provides higher quality image of the crust compared to the wide-angle section. This could be explained by the low-fold in wide-angle data and differences in the acquisition and processing methodology. The wide-angle survey, which was coincident with a regional vibroseis seismic reflection transect, was focused on the Leonora-Laverton region. The survey was designed to supplement the deep seismic reflection studies with velocity information. This also created an opportunity to compare velocity model derived from wide-angle reflection seismic data with a structural image obtained from the deep common mid-point seismic reflection data, and thus refine our geological understanding of the area. A high velocity body reaching a maximum thickness of 2 km was identified exclusively from the seismic velocity model derived from wide-angle study. This body is interpreted as mafic rocks within the Archaean Granite- Greenstone Belt. The joint interpretation also shows that structural boundaries do not always follow lithological boundaries in our study area. The combination of wide-angle reflection and near-vertical reflection data has facilitated a more complete geological interpretation of the seismic data.

Toxin producing cyanobacteria were recorded in twelve water bodies. Microcystis and Anabaena were the most common species in freshwaters while Anabaena and Anabaenopsis were common in alkaline saline lakes. Seven lakes with cyanobacteria blooms and a hot spring had detectable levels of microcystins and anatoxin-a. Cell bound microcystins (LR equivalents) concentration ranged from 1.6-19800 mu g g super(- 1) Dry weight (DW) while anatoxin-a varied from below the limit of detection to 1260 mu g g super(-1) DW. In alkaline-saline lakes, microcystins and anatoxin-a were also present in stomach contents and liver samples of dead flamingos. Monoculture strains of A. fusiformis from Lakes sonachi and Bogoria had detectable levels of microcystins while anatoxin-a was present in strains isolated from Lakes Sonachi, Bogoria and Nakuru. Two freshwater sites, Nyanza Gulf (L. Victoria) and Lake Baringo recorded cyanotoxin concentration exceeding WHO'S upper limit of 1.0 mu g l super(-1) for drinking water. The results confirm that cyanotoxins could have played a role in the mortality of flamingos in Lakes Bogoria and Nakuru. The implications of these findings on water resource use, measures to be taken to reduce the risk of exposure and eutrophication control steps to reduce cyanobacteria bloom formation are considered in this paper.

In this study haploid and DH oat plants were produced using the oat x maize hybridization method. Factors influencing the rate of caryopsis and haploid embryo production including genotype, post-pollination plant growth regulator application and temperature were investigated. The four growth regulators tested showed significant differences in their capacity to induce caryopsis formation with dicamba producing the highest numbers of caryopses, followed by picloram, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and gibberellic acid (GA sub(3)). No significant differences were observed between these growth regulators for their effect on embryo production. The concentration of dicamba was also important and was found to influence caryopsis but not embryo production, with 50 and 100 mg/l dicamba producing significantly more caryopses than 25 or 5 mg/l. Temperature had a significant impact on both caryopsis and embryo production with the magnitude and direction of response depending on genotype. Rates of haploid embryo production observed were between 0.8% and 6.7% of the pollinated florets. The proportion of haploids, which survived and were successfully doubled with colchicine following transfer to soil was between 72% and 81%.

However, transgenic expression of genes catalysing the synthesis of unusual fatty acids has generally resulted in these fatty acids accumulating at levels significantly below the levels in the wild species from which the genes were sourced. This study reports expression of additional copies of any of three 12-desaturase genes (FAD2) from Crepis palaestina Bornm., cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) or Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. with C. palaestina 12-epoxygenase gene (Cpal2), in an Arabidopsis mutant having a significantly higher level of linoleic acid substrate. This resulted in the highest levels of vernolic acid accumulation, 21 % of total fatty acids, reported so far in any transgenic plant expressing the 12-epoxygenase. Similarly, the co-expression of C. palaestina Cpal2 and a transgenic copy of FAD2 in cotton seed that contains large amounts of linoleic acid substrate also resulted in greater accumulation of vernolic acid in seed than did expression of C. palaestina Cpal2 alone.

The source of this trend is a matter of scientific debate with stratospheric ozone losses, greenhouse gas increases, and natural variability all being possible contenders. Because it is difficult to separate the contribution of various external forcings to the observed trend, a state-of-the-art global coupled model is utilized here. Ensembles of twentieth-century simulations forced with the observed time series of greenhouse gases, tropospheric and stratospheric ozone, sulfate aerosols, volcanic aerosols, solar variability, and various combinations of these are used to examine the annular mode trends in comparison to observations, in an attempt to isolate the response of the climate system to each individual forcing. It is found that ozone changes are the biggest contributor to the observed summertime intensification of the southern polar vortex in the second half of the twentieth century, with increases of greenhouse gases also being a necessary factor in the reproduction of the observed trends at the surface. Although stratospheric ozone losses are expected to stabilize and eventually recover to preindustrial levels over the course of the twenty-first century, these results show that increasing greenhouse gases will continue to intensify the polar vortex throughout the twenty-first century, but that radiative forcing will cause widespread temperature increases over the entire Southern Hemisphere.

Although L. pneumophila is the causative agent of a severe pneumonia known as Legionnaires' disease, it is likely that most infections caused by this organism are cleared by the host innate immune system. It is predicted that host pattern recognition proteins belonging to the Toll-like receptor (TLR) family are involved in the protective innate immune responses. We examined the role of TLR-mediated responses in L. pneumophila detection and clearance using genetically altered mouse hosts in which the macrophages are permissive for L. pneumophila intracellular replication. Our data demonstrate that cytokine production by bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) in response to L. pneumophila infection requires the TLR adapter protein MyD88 and is reduced in the absence of TLR2 but not in the absence of TLR4. Bacterial growth ex vivo in BMMs from MyD88-deficient mice was not enhanced compared to bacterial growth ex vivo in BMMs from heterozygous littermate controls. Wild-type mice were able to clear L. pneumophila from the lung, whereas respiratory infection of MyD88-deficient mice caused death that resulted from robust bacterial replication and dissemination. In contrast to an infection with virulent L. pneumophila, MyD88-deficient mice were able to clear infections with L. pneumophila dotA mutants, indicating that MyD88-independent responses in the lung are sufficient to clear bacteria that are unable to replicate intracellularly. In vivo growth of L. pneumophila was enhanced in the lungs of TLR2-deficient mice, which resulted in a delay in bacterial clearance. No significant differences were observed in the growth and clearance of L. pneumophila in the lungs of TLR4-deficient mice and heterozygous littermate control mice. Our data indicate that MyD88 is crucial for eliciting a protective innate immune response against virulent L. pneumophila and that TLR2 is one of the pattern recognition receptors involved in initiating this MyD88-dependent response.

Sixty-two STMs, amplifying 66 loci, revealed a high level of polymorphism among a diverse set of 16 Australian isolates. Each locus revealed two to nine alleles (average 4 plus or minus 1.82), and a gene diversity measure of 0.54 was obtained. This technique not only halved the cost of marker development compared to traditional methods, but substantially reduced the cost of performing fluorescence-based microsatellite assays. These STMs provide a powerful tool for genetic studies in R. secalis.

Pollen Production AN - 14778429; 10699705 AB - Interaction of the onset of spring and elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide on ragweed pollen production was presented. Ragweed seeds were released from dormancy at three 15-day intervals and plants were grown in climate-controlled glasshouses at either ambient or 700-ppm carbon dioxide concentrations, placing open-top bags over inflorescences to capture pollen. Timing and carbon dioxide interacted to influence pollen production. At ambient carbon dioxide levels, the earlier cohort acquired a greater biomass, a higher average weight per inflorescence, and a large number of inflorescences; flowered earlier; and had 54.8% greater pollen production than did the latest cohort. At high carbon dioxide levels, plants showed greater biomass and reproductive effort compared with those in ambient carbon dioxide but only for later cohorts. Ragweed pollen production could be expected to increase significantly under predicted future climate conditions.

Cadmium in blood and urine and lead in blood, an array of markers of bone metabolism, and forearm bone mineral density (BMD) were measured. Associations were evaluated in multiple, linear regression analysis including information on the possible confounders or effect modifiers: weight, menopausal status, use of hormone replacement therapy, age at menarche, alcohol consumption, smoking history, and physical activity. The results suggested that negative effects of low-level cadmium exposure on bone, possibly exerted via increased bone resorption, which seemed to be intensified after menopause. Based on the prevalence of osteoporosis and the low level of exposure, the observed effects, although slight, should be considered as early signals of potentially more adverse health effects.

The birth cohort consisted of 52,113 singleton births in 2001-2002, and data included residential address, gestational age, sex, birth date and order, and parental age and education. Association between exposure and PTD were evaluated using univariate and multivariate log-binomial regressions. The relationships between PTD and exposures to CO, NO sub(2), and SO sub(2) were dose dependent. It was showed that relatively low concentrations of air pollution under current air quality standards during pregnancy might contribute to an increased risk of PTD. A biologic mechanism through increased prostaglandin levels that were triggered by inflammatory mediators during exposure was discussed.

The evidence in the peer-reviewed literature for such associations and a minimum set of measures necessary to understand farmworker risk for pesticide exposure were also presented. Data extraction was restricted to those articles that reported primary data collection and analysis published in 1990 or later. Despite ongoing concerned about pesticide exposure of farmworkers and their families, relatively few studies tried to test directly the association of behavioral and environmental factors with pesticide exposure in the population. Future studies should attempt to use similar behavioral, environmental, and psychosocial measures to build a body of evidence, with which to better understand the risk factors for pesticide exposure among farmworkers.

Perinatal exposure to high concentrations of the potent synthetic estrogen diethylstilbestrol (DES) induced abnormal development of the female reproductive tract via a mechanism that acted through the down-regulation of bWnt7a. These data revealed that weak estrogens such as the PCBs acted through a Wnt7a pathway and suggested that Wnt7a regulations were a sensitive biomarker for testing weak estrogenic candidate compounds. The morphologic changes that were elicited by PCBs and DES were different immediately after exposure, suggesting that one or both of these compounds also activated Wnt7a-independent pathways. The Wnt7a heterozygous mice were more sensitive to PCB exposure, revealing an important genetic predisposition to risks of environmental endocrine disruptors.

The median and 95th percentile of daily exposures to dibutyl phthalates (DBP) were estimated to be 0.99 and 2.68 mu g/kg/day, respectively; for diethyl phthalate (DEP), 6.64 and 112.3 mu g/kg/day; for butylbenzyl phthalate (BBzP), 0.50 and 2.47 mu g/kg/day; and for Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), 1.32 and 9.32 mu g/kg/day. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reference doses for these chemicals were 100 (DEP), 800 (DEP), 200(BBzP), and 20 (DEHP) mu g/kg/day. The median and 95th percentile exposure estimated for the phthalates associated with reduced anogenital distance in the study population were substantially lower than current U.S. EPA reference doses for these chemicals and could be informative to any updates of the hazard assessments and risk assessments for these chemicals.

At day 4.25, increased proliferation and hypercellularity were observed within the atrioventricular and outflow tract primordial after 8 and 400 ppb TCE. Doppler ultrasound revealed that the dorsal aortic and atrioventricular blood flows were reduced by 23% and 30%, respectively, after exposure to 8 ppb TCE. The results independently confirmed that TCE disrupts cardiac development of the chick embryo and identified valvuloseptal development as a period of sensitivity.

Adult male rats with or without ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic airway disease were exposed to concentrated air particles containing PM with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 2.5 mu m for 8 hr, generated from ambient air in an urban Grand Rapids, Michigan, community using a mobile air research laboratory. A significant increase in the concentration of norepinephrine in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) was produced by exposure to concentrated ambient particle (CAPs) or OVA alone or after sensitization with OVA compared with controls. Exposure to CAPs could activate the stress axis, and this could probably play a role in aggravating allergic airway disease.

For dose-response characterization, benchmark-dose modeling was applied to human data to determine a point of departure of 0.0037 mg/kg/day. A public health goal (PHG) of 6 ppb was calculated using an uncertainty factor of 10, a relative source contribution of 60%, and exposure assumptions specific to pregnant women. The California Department of Health Services would use the PHG, together with other considerations such as economic impact and engineering feasibility, to develop a California maximum contaminant level for perchlorate. The PHG was considered to be adequately protective of sensitive subpopulations, including pregnant women, their fetuses, infants, and people with hypothyroidism.

Mean PbB levels in Israel, the West Bank, Jordan, and Gaza were 3.2 mu g/dl, 4.2 mu g/dl, 3.2 mu g/dl, and 8.6 mu g/dl respectively. High levels in Gaza were all among children living near a battery factory. The findings, taken together with data on time trends in lead emissions and in PbB in children in previous years, indicated the benefits from phasing out of leaded gasoline but stated the case for further reductions and investigation of hot spots. The project demonstrated the benefits of regional cooperation in planning and carrying out a jointly designed project.

To test the viability of CHV in baits, CHV was freeze-dried, incorporated into different baits, stored, and the remaining viral infectivity tested in cell culture after varying periods of time at different storage temperatures. Experimental baits (mouse carcasses) and commercial baits (FOXOFF and PROBAIT) were prepared with either liquid or freeze-dried CHV and tested in two fox trials for their capacity to induce CHV-specific antibodies following oral baiting. Freeze-drying and storage temperatures below 0 degree C had a stabilizing effect to virus infectivity. When stored at -20 degree C, freeze-dried CHV retained its full infectivity for up to 3 months in PROBAIT baits, the remaining infectivity in FOXOFF baits was 100-fold less. Oral baiting with CHV induced antiviral serum antibodies in all vaccinated foxes (20/20). None of the vaccinated foxes became ill or shed infectious virus into the environment although viral DNA was detected in body secretions as evaluated by PCR. The results indicate that CHV can be freeze-dried and stored over extended periods of time without loosing much of its infectivity. This is the first report of CHV being used for oral bait vaccination of foxes. It appears that CHV is well suited for use as a recombinant vector for wild canids.

We attempt to identify the targets of this class of sRNAs in genome scale and gain further insight into the complexity of translational regulation induced by Hfq-binding sRNAs. Using a new alignment algorithm, most known negatively regulated targets of Hfq-binding sRNAs were identified. The results also show several interesting aspects of the regulatory function of Hfq-binding sRNAs.

AN - 67934650; 16672499 AB - In this paper we describe isolation of a bacterium capable of degrading both isomers of the organochloride insecticide endosulfan and its toxic metabolite, endosulfate. The bacterium was isolated from a soil microbial population that was enriched with continuous pressure to use endosulfate as the sole source of sulfur. Analysis of the 16S rRNA sequence of the bacterium indicated that it was an Arthrobacter species. The organochloride-degrading activity was not observed in the presence of sodium sulfite as an alternative sulfur source, suggesting that the activity was part of the sulfur starvation response of the strain. A gene, ese, encoding an enzyme capable of degrading both isomers of endosulfan and endosulfate was isolated from this bacterium. The enzyme belongs to the two-component flavin-dependent monooxygenase family whose members require reduced flavin for activity. Nuclear magnetic resonance analyses identified the metabolite of endosulfan as endosulfan monoalcohol and the metabolite of endosulfate as endosulfan hemisulfate. The ese gene was located in a cluster of 10 open reading frames encoding proteins with low levels of sulfur-containing amino acids. These open reading frames were organized into two apparent divergently orientated operons and a gene encoding a putative LysR-type transcriptional regulator. The operon not containing ese did contain a homologue whose product exhibited 62% amino acid identity to the ese-encoded protein.

AN - 67924702; 16297432 AB - The use of ultraviolet (UV) or vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photo-oxidation followed by biological treatment for the removal of natural organic matter (NOM) in drinking water is a potential water treatment technique under investigation. This paper reports on the trihalomethane formation potential (THMFP), the haloacetic acid formation potential (HAAFP), and formation of nitrite and peroxide following both UV and VUV irradiation of NOM prior to biological treatment. The total THMFP was found to decrease with increasing UV and VUV irradiation dose, although there was a linear increase in bromoform formation. Determination of the THMFP of NOM fractions obtained after irradiation, showed that the hydrophobic fraction was dominated by chlorinated species which accounted for the majority of the total THMFP, while bromoform was observed only in the hydrophilic fraction of NOM. VUV irradiation reduced the HAAFP with increasing dose, in contrast, UV irradiation had a limited effect on the overall HAAFP. Following UV or VUV irradiation, the chlorinated species accounted for the majority of HAAFP; however, significant formation of brominated haloacetic acid (HAA) was observed. The nitrate concentration of the untreated water directly influenced the concentration of nitrite produced as a consequence of UV and VUV irradiation. Hydrogen peroxide formation was greater during VUV irradiation than during UV irradiation. Samples exposed to various doses of UV or VUV irradiation (up to 138 J cm(-2)) were deemed non-cytotoxic (African green monkey kidney cells) and non-mutagenic (Ames test).

AN - 67905851; 16413983 AB - To investigate the optimal scanning protocol for multislice computed tomography angiography (MSCT) in pre-aortic stent grafting observed with virtual intravascular endoscopy (VIE). The study was performed on a human abdominal aortic phantom which was housed in a perspex container, filled with contrast medium having CT attenuation similar to that used in the patient's abdominal CT scan. A series of scans were performed on a four-slice multislice CT scanner with the scanning protocols as follows: section thickness of 1.3, 3.2 and 6.5 mm, pitch value of 0.875, 1.25 and 1.75 with reconstruction intervals of 50% overlap. The degree of stair-step artifacts was measured at three different locations, superior mesenteric artery (SMA), renal ostium and the normal abdominal aorta. Standard deviation (S.D.) of the signal intensity measured on surface shaded images was used to determine the image quality. Radiation dose was also recorded in each scanning protocol. The VIE images showed that image quality was not dependent on pitch and section thickness in the visualization of renal ostium and SMA, whereas it was dependent on these two factors at the level of the normal aorta (p<0.05). It was noticed that when section thickness reached 6.5 mm the SMA and renal ostia became distorted. Radiation dose measured in 1.3 mm protocols was significantly higher that those measured in other section thicknesses (p<0.05). The scanning protocol of section thickness 3.2 mm, pitch 1.25 with a reconstruction interval of 1.6 mm was recommended as it allows optimal visualization of VIE images of aortic ostia, generation of fewer artifacts and less radiation dose.

AN - 67836221; 16505997 AB - We have developed a transiently-expressed transposase (TET)-mediated Dissociation (Ds) insertional mutagenesis system for generating stable insertion lines in rice which will allow localized mutagenesis of a chromosomal region. In this system, a Ds containing T-DNA construct was used to produce Ds launch pad lines. Callus tissues, from single-copy Ds/T-DNA lines, were then transiently infected with Agrobacterium harbouring an immobile Ac (iAc) construct, also containing a green fluorescent protein gene (sgfpS65T) as the visual marker. We have regenerated stable Ds insertion lines at a frequency of 9-13% using selection for Ds excision and GFP counter selection against iAc and nearly half of them were unique insertion lines. Double transformants (iAc/Ds) were also obtained and their progeny yielded approximately 10% stable insertion lines following excision and visual marker screening with 50% redundancy. In general, more than 50% of the Ds reinsertions were within 1 cM of the launch pad. We have produced a large number of single-copy Ds/T-DNA launch pads distributed over the rice chromosomes and have further refined the Ds/T-DNA construct to enrich for "clean" single-copy T-DNA insertions. The availability of single copy "clean" Ds/T-DNA launch pads will facilitate chromosomal region-directed insertion mutagenesis. This system provides an opportunity for distribution of gene tagging tasks among collaborating laboratories on the basis of chromosomal locations. JF - TAG. Theoretical and applied genetics.

A CBO Paper AN - 62002813; ED496554 AB - The federal government's student loan programs for higher education convey substantial financial benefits to borrowers because of their broad availability and favorable terms. Of the various provisions included in a federal student loan contract, the option to consolidate individual loans contributes greatly to a borrower's benefits and the cost of the program to the government and taxpayers. The changes scheduled to take effect in July 2006 fundamentally change the terms of the student loan program, fixing the interest rate on original and consolidated loans at 6.8 percent and 6.875 percent, respectively. This will greatly reduce the cost of these loans to the government. The analysis in this paper illustrates the financial costs to the government that would result from policy alternatives that have existed or been considered in the past. It also applies to options that might be considered by the Congress for use in other credit programs. The following are appended: (1) Assumptions Underlying the Cost Estimates in This Analysis; and (2) The Economics of the Consolidation Option. (Contains 1 table, 1 figure, and 26 footnotes.)

The Alice Springs Trial of Liquor Licensing Restrictions AN - 57051636; 200614635 AB - This paper analyses the trial of alcohol restrictions that was implemented in Alice Springs in the Northern Territory from April 2002 to June 2003. The trial included a ban on alcohol in containers greater than 2 litres & reduced take-away trading hours. The history of the trial, its findings, & the different interpretations placed on trial data is discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on evidence indicating a link between alcohol price & consumption. Data from the evaluations of the Alice Springs trial are reviewed. The trials adds substantial new evidence to the strength of the relationship between alcohol price, consumption & harm as the restrictions led to a 1000% increase in the sale of the cheapest form of alcohol -- 2-litre port. Recent proposals for supply reduction strategies such as a tiered volumetric tax on alcohol & a trial of alcohol restrictions based on a minimum price benchmark demand further consideration by policy makers, especially in regions marked by a excessive alcohol consumption & a high burden of alcohol-related harms such as Alice Springs. 1 Figure, 20 References.

Among the tools used to make such determinations is the cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA), a method that can include calculations of the dollar value of human life. Given the controversy around this and other cost-benefit assessments, a committee of the National Academies' Institute of Medicine was called upon to provide guidance as to how, or even whether, to assign a specific value to effects such as degraded human health. In their January 2006 final report, the committee concluded that techniques such as CEA have their place, but also have important deficiencies that could to some extent be addressed by following the committee's twelve main recommendations.

This is the first time that data from a long-term marine mammal strandings scheme have been used to estimate any increase in risk. The exposure odds ratio (OR) from a logistic regression model with infectious disease deaths as cases and physical trauma deaths as controls, after controlling for the effect of confounding factors, was 1.048 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.02-1.07]. To further adjust for the difference in energetic status between cases and controls and account for the negative relationship between PCBs (sum of 25 chlorobiphenyl congeners) and blubber mass, we also "standardized" the blubber PCBs to an optimal blubber mass. This lowered the OR to 1.02 (95% CI, 1.00-1.03). Thus, for each 1 mg/kg increase in blubber PCBs, the average increase in risk of infectious disease mortality was 2%. A doubling of risk occurred at approximately 45 mg/kg lipid. In this study, we have endeavored to avoid selection bias by using controls that died of physical trauma as representative of the exposure prevalence in the population that gave rise to the cases. In addition, we controlled for the effect of variation in energetic status among the cases and controls. However, as with case-control studies in human and veterinary epidemiology, unforeseen misclassification errors may result in biased risk estimates in either direction.

We measured the in vitro ability of ambient fine particles [particulate matter with aerodynamic diametersor=2.5 microm (PM2.5)] to form hydroxyl radicals (.OH) in an oxidant environment, as well as to deplete physiologic antioxidants (ascorbic acid, glutathione) in the naturally reducing environment of the respiratory tract lining fluid (RTLF). The objective was to examine how these toxicologically relevant measures were related to other PM characteristics, such as total and elemental mass concentration and light absorbance. DESIGN: Gravimetric PM2.5 samples (n=716) collected over 1 year from 20 centers participating in the European Community Respiratory Health Survey were available. Light absorbance of these filters was measured with reflectometry. PM suspensions were recovered from filters by vortexing and sonication before dilution to a standard concentration. The oxidative activity of these particle suspensions was then assessed by measuring their ability to generate .OH in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, using electron spin resonance and 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline-N-oxide as spin trap, or by establishing their capacity to deplete antioxidants from a synthetic model of the RTLF. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: PM oxidative activity varied significantly among European sampling sites. Correlations between oxidative activity and all other characteristics of PM were low, both within centers (temporal correlation) and across communities (annual mean). Thus, no single surrogate measure of PM redox activity could be identified. Because these novel measures are suggested to reflect crucial biologic mechanisms of PM, their use may be pertinent in epidemiologic studies. Therefore, it is important to define the appropriate methods to determine oxidative activity of PM.

The ULTRA Study AN - 21182642; 11517777 AB - Epidemiologic studies have shown that ambient particulate matter (PM) has adverse effects on cardiovascular health. Effective mitigation of the health effects requires identification of the most harmful PM sources. The objective of our study was to evaluate relative effects of fine PM [aerodynamic diameteror=2.5 microm (PM2.5)] from different sources on exercise-induced ischemia. We collected daily outdoor PM2.5 samples between autumn 1998 and spring 1999 in Helsinki, Finland. The mass of PM2.5 was apportioned between five sources. Forty-five elderly nonsmoking persons with stable coronary heart disease visited a clinic biweekly for submaximal exercise testing, during which the occurrence of ST segment depressions was recorded. Levels of PM2.5 originating from local traffic and long-range transport were associated with ST segment depressions0.1 mV, with odds ratios at 2-day lag of 1.53 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.19-1.97] and 1.11 (95% CI, 1.02-1.20) per 1 microg/m3, respectively. In multipollutant models, where we used indicator elements for sources instead of source-specific PM2.5, only absorbance (elemental carbon), an indicator of local traffic and other combustion, was associated with ST segment depressions. Our results suggest that the PM fraction originating from combustion processes, notably traffic, exacerbates ischemic heart diseases associated with PM mass.

However, other studies have not detected any harmful influences on neurodevelopment. Furthermore, except in western countries, no developmental tests have been carried out in relation to detailed assessment of exposure to PCBs and dioxins. In this study (the Hokkaido Study on Environment and Children's Health), the effect of prenatal exposure to background levels of PCBs and dioxins on infant neurodevelopment in Japan/Sapporo was elucidated. The associations between the total or individual isomer level of PCBs and dioxins in 134 Japanese pregnant women's peripheral blood and the mental or motor development of their 6-month-old infants were evaluated using the second edition of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development. The mean level of total toxicity equivalency quantity (TEQ) was 18.8 (4.0-51.2) pg/g lipid in blood of 134 mothers. After adjustment for potential confounding variables, the total TEQ value was shown not to be significantly associated with mental developmental index (MDI) or psychomotor developmental index (PDI). However, the levels of one polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin (PCDD) isomer, total PCDDs, and total PCDDs/polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) were significantly negatively associated with MDI, and the levels of two PCDD isomers and three PCDF isomers were significantly negatively associated with the PDI. In conclusion, the background-level exposure of several isomers of dioxins during the prenatal period probably affects the motor development of 6-month-old infants more than it does their mental development.

Winning the War Against Childhood Obesity AN - 21181813; 11517749 AB - "Fed Up!" traces the obesity epidemic through the lives of children, families, teachers, and researchers. Examining the origins of the obesity epidemic, Susan Okie, a family physician and journalist, covers the distance between the "toxic environment" and the family. Sodas, juice, portions, fast food, television, school lunches, and sedentary lifestyles are all environmental factors that parents and families must confront in their efforts to stop the obesity epidemic. This book gives a closeup view of obesity's effects on children's lives by recounting children's and adolescents' daily struggles with body image, school snacks, the pull to inactivity, and families' efforts to change lifestyle and behavior. In particular, Okie puts a face on the epidemic--the girls in the fifth-grade class and the articulate teen who struggles with weight. Tracing the "thrifty gene" hypothesis--that such a gene allows storage of calories during times of plenty that can be expended during famine--Okie discusses the interaction between genetics and environment and puts obesity research into action.

NIEHS grantees and applicants have raised concerns over a restructuring at the CSR that brought about changes including the elimination of two study sections dealing mainly with toxicology. In response, members of the NIEHS Division of Extramural Research and Training have embarked on a more formalized and vigorous monitoring and analysis of outcomes of reviews of NIEHS applications by the CSR.

But even as sports promote health, they can also seriously degrade the environment upon which good health depends. Whether played or watched, Olympic in scale or limited to local slopes or greens, athletic endeavors have the potential to produce huge environmental "footprints" in terms of their use of natural resources. These impacts have spawned an environmental movement with two broad goals: to reduce the ecological footprint of sports activities, and to exploit the popularity of sports to raise environmental awareness in general.

Environmental contamination is one of several factors implicated in declines and may have particularly important effects on sensitive developmental stages. Despite the severe effects of maternal transfer of contaminants on early development in other vertebrate lineages, no studies have examined the effects of maternal transfer of contaminants on reproduction or development in amphibians. We examined maternal transfer of contaminants in eastern narrow-mouth toads (Gastrophryne carolinensis) collected from a reference site and near a coal-burning power plant. Adult toads inhabiting the industrial area transferred significant quantities of selenium and strontium to their eggs, but Se concentrations were most notable (up to 100 microg/g dry mass). Compared with the reference site, hatching success was reduced by 11% in clutches from the contaminated site. In surviving larvae, the frequency of developmental abnormalities and abnormal swimming was 55-58% higher in the contaminated site relative to the reference site. Craniofacial abnormalities were nearly an order of magnitude more prevalent in hatchlings from the contaminated site. When all developmental criteria were considered collectively, offspring from the contaminated site experienced 19% lower viability. Although there was no statistical relationship between the concentration of Se or Sr transferred to eggs and any measure of offspring viability, our study demonstrates that maternal transfer may be an important route of contaminant exposure in amphibians that has been overlooked.

Using aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR)-based and estrogen receptor (ER)-based cell bioassay systems, we assessed the dioxin-like and estrogenic activities of gas-phase organic ambient air contaminants compared with those of particulate-phase contaminants using samples collected between seasons over 2 years from an urban and a rural location in the Greater Toronto Area, Canada. The concentration of the sum (Sigma) of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which was highest in the gas phase, was 10-100 times more abundant than that of Sigmapolychlorinated biphenyls, Sigmanitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and Sigmaorganochlorine pesticides, and 10(3) to 10(4) times more abundant than Sigmapolychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans. Gas-phase samples induced significant AHR- and ER-dependent gene expression. The activity of the gas-phase samples was greater than that of the particulate-phase samples in the estrogen assay and, in one case, in the AHR assay. We found no strong associations between either summer or winter seasons or urban or rural locations in the relative efficacy of the extracts in either the ER or AHR assay despite differences in chemical composition, concentrations, and abundance. Our results suggest that mechanistic studies of the health effects of ambient air must consider gas and particulate phases because chemicals present in both phases can affect AHR and ER signaling pathways.

In this study we aimed to estimate the volume of water swallowed during diving as a key factor for infection risk assessment associated with diving. Using questionnaires, occupational and sport divers in the Netherlands were asked about number of dives, volume of swallowed water, and health complaints (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and ear, skin, eye, and respiratory complaints). Occupational divers, on average, swallowed 9.8 mL marine water and 5.7 mL fresh surface water per dive. Sport divers swallowed, on average, 9.0 mL marine water; 13 mL fresh recreational water; 3.2 mL river, canal, or city canal water; and 20 mL water in circulation pools. Divers swallowed less water when wearing a full face mask instead of an ordinary diving mask and even less when wearing a diving helmet. A full face mask or a diving helmet is recommended when diving in fecally contaminated water. From the volumes of swallowed water and concentrations of pathogens in fecally contaminated water, we estimated the infection risks per dive and per year to be as high as a few to up to tens of percents. This may explain why only 20% of the divers reported having none of the inquired health complaints within a period of 1 year. It is highly recommended that divers be informed about fecal contamination of the diving water.

For California communities where ClO4- was tested in 1997 and 1998, we evaluated the prevalence of primary congenital hypothyroidism (PCH) and high thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels among the 342,257 California newborns screened in 1998. We compared thyroid function results among newborns from 24 communities with average ClO4- concentrations in drinking water5 microg/L (n=50,326) to newborns from 287 communities with average concentrationsor=5 microg/L (n=291,931). ClO4- concentrations obtained from the California Drinking Water Program provided source-specific data for estimating weighted average concentrations in community water. Fifteen cases of PCH from communities with average concentration5 microg/L were observed, with 20.4 expected [adjusted prevalence odds ratio (POR)=0.71; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.40-1.19]. Although only 36% of all California newborns were screened before 24 hr of age in 1998, nearly 80% of newborns with high TSH were screened before 24 hr of age. Because of the physiologic postnatal surge of TSH, the results for newborns screened before 24 hr were uninformative for assessing an environmental impact. For newborns screenedor=24 hr, the adjusted POR for high TSH was 0.73 (95% CI, 0.40-1.23). All adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were controlled for sex, ethnicity, birth weight, and multiple birth status.

In this study, we examined the relationship of local traffic-related exposure and asthma and wheeze in southern California school children (5-7 years of age). Lifetime history of doctor-diagnosed asthma and prevalent asthma and wheeze were evaluated by questionnaire. Parental history of asthma and child's history of allergic symptoms, sex, and early-life exposure (residence at the same home since 2 years of age) were examined as susceptibility factors. Residential exposure was assessed by proximity to a major road and by modeling exposure to local traffic-related pollutants. Residence within 75 m of a major road was associated with an increased risk of lifetime asthma [odds ratio (OR)=1.29; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01-1.86], prevalent asthma (OR=1.50; 95% CI, 1.16-1.95), and wheeze (OR=1.40; 95% CI, 1.09-1.78). Susceptibility increased in long-term residents with no parental history of asthma for lifetime asthma (OR=1.85; 95% CI, 1.11-3.09), prevalent asthma (OR=2.46; 95% CI, 0.48-4.09), and recent wheeze (OR=2.74; 95% CI, 1.71-4.39). The higher risk of asthma near a major road decreased to background rates at 150-200 m from the road. In children with a parental history of asthma and in children moving to the residence after 2 years of age, there was no increased risk associated with exposure. Effect of residential proximity to roadways was also larger in girls. A similar pattern of effects was observed with traffic-modeled exposure. These results indicate that residence near a major road is associated with asthma. The reason for larger effects in those with no parental history of asthma merits further investigation.

Unfortunately failure of such systems is common and inadequate effluent treatment can have serious environmental implications. The capacity of a particular soil to treat wastewater will change over time. The physical properties influence the rate of effluent movement through the soil and its chemical properties dictate the ability to renovate effluent. A research project was undertaken to determine the role that physical and chemical soil properties play in predicting the long-term behaviour of soil under effluent irrigation and to determine if they have a potential function as early indicators of adverse effects of effluent irrigation on treatment sustainability. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Cluster Analysis grouped the soils independently of their soil classifications and allowed us to distinguish the most suitable soils for sustainable long term effluent irrigation and determine the most influential soil parameters to characterise them. Multivariate analysis allowed a clear distinction between soils based on the cation exchange capacities. This in turn correlated well with the soil mineralogy. Mixed mineralogy soils in particular sodium or magnesium dominant soils are the most susceptible to dispersion under effluent irrigation. The soil Exchangeable Sodium Percentage (ESP) was identified as a crucial parameter and was highly correlated with percentage clay, electrical conductivity, exchangeable sodium, exchangeable magnesium and low Ca:Mg ratios (less than 0.5).

Seminal roots were sampled through the season from unploughed soil in a conservation farming system. Such soils are spatially heterogeneous, and many roots grow slowly through hard soil with cracks and pores containing dead roots remnant from previous crops. Root and rhizosphere morphology, and contact with soil particles were preserved, and autofluorescence was avoided by observing sections in the far-red with Cy5 and Cy5.5 fluorochromes. Spatial analyses showed that bacteria were embedded in a stable matrix (biofilm) within 11 mu m of the root surface (range 2-30 mu m) and were clustered on 40% of roots. Half the clusters colocated with axial grooves between epidermal cells, soil particles, cap cells or root hairs; the other half were not associated with visible features. Across all wheat roots, although variable, bacteria averaged 15.4 x 10 super(5) cells per mm super(3) rhizosphere, and of these, Pseudomonas and filaments comprised 10% and 4%, respectively, with minor effects of sample time, and no effect of plant age. Root caps were most heavily colonized by bacteria along roots, and elongation zones least heavily colonized. Pseudomonas varied little with root development and were 17% of bacteria on the elongation zone. Filamentous bacteria were not found on the elongation zone. The most significant factor to rhizosphere populations along a wheat root, however, was contact with dead root remnants, where Pseudomonas were reduced but filaments increased to 57% of bacteria (P < 0.001). This corresponded with analyses of root remnants showing they were heavily colonized by bacteria, with 48% filaments (P < 0.001) and 1.4%Pseudomonas (P = 0.014). Efforts to manage rhizosphere bacteria for sustainable agricultural systems should continue to focus on root cap and mucilage chemistry, and remnant roots as sources of beneficial bacteria.

The early life stage of abalone, an important gastropod both environmentally and commercially, has been involved in limited research investigating the effects of heavy metal toxicity. Fertilized eggs of Haliotis rubra were exposed to a range of dissolved nominal concentrations of cadmium, copper, iron, lead, mercury, and zinc in individual solutions for 48 h. After 48 h of exposure, the test was completed by recording survival success and morphological abnormalities of veliger larvae in each heavy metal treatment. The mean 48-h median effective concentrations affecting normal morphological development of veliger larvae determined in this test shows a decreasing order of toxicity of copper (7 mg/L), mercury (21 mg/L), zinc (35 mg/L), iron (4,102 mg/L), cadmium (4,515 mg/L), and lead (5,111 mg/L).

The growth on the mono-chlorophenols resulted in a decrease in dry weight of the organism, although there was an increase in cell number. There was a change of bacterial shape from rod to round as well as the reduction of cell size when grown on phenol and chlorophenols. Changes in cell shape and size were also evident in glucose-free medium, which suggested that alteration of cell shape from rod to round as well as reduction of cell size were due to nutritional stress. The increase in cell number but a drop in dry weight correlated with the reduction of cell size and shape. The organism flocculated with chlorophenols but not with phenol. The cause of flocculation was due to the toxicity of chlorophenol. Isomerization of cis to trans forms of the unsaturated fatty acids in P. putida CP1 occurred under conditions of environmental stress. Trace amounts of the polyunsaturated fatty acid linoleic acid (cis-9, cis-12-octadecadienoic acid) rarely found in bacterial membranes and oleic acid (cis-9-octadecanoic acid), which is a typical product of aerobic fatty acid synthesis, were found in P. putida CP1.

By profiling normalized abundances (A sub(N)) of basic regulatory patterns of individual THubs in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae transcriptional regulation network under five different cellular states and environmental conditions, we have investigated their preferences for different basic regulatory patterns. Subgraph-normalized abundances downstream of individual THubs often differ significantly from that of the network as a whole, and conversely, certain over-represented subgraphs are not preferred by any THub. The THub preferences changed substantially when the cellular or environmental conditions changed. This switching of regulatory pattern preferences suggests that a change in conditions does not only elicit a change in response by the regulatory network, but also a change in the mechanisms by which the response is mediated. The THub subgraph preference profile thus provides a novel tool for description of the structure and organization between the large-scale exponents and local regulatory patterns.

The XRD patterns are presented. The results indicated that the samples obtained after treatment are much different. The XRD profiles revealed a number of new reflexes, suggesting a phase transformation probably occurred. Both heat treatment and chemical treatment increased the surface area and pore volume. It was found that zeolite P would be formed at the conditions of higher NaOH concentration and temperature. The treated fly ash was tested for adsorption of heavy metal ions and dyes in aqueous solution. It was shown that fly ash and the modified forms could effectively absorb heavy metals and methylene blue but not effectively adsorb rhodamine B. Modifying fly ash with NaOH solution would significantly enhance the adsorption capacity depending on the treatment temperature, time, and base concentration. The adsorption capacity of methylene blue would increases with pH of the dye solution and the sorption capacity of FA-NaOH could reach 5 x 10 super(- 5) mol/g. The adsorption isotherm could be described by the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm equations. Removal of copper and nickel ions could also be achieved on those treated fly ash. The removal efficiency for copper and nickel ions could be from 30% to 90% depending on the initial concentrations. The increase in adsorption temperature will enhance the adsorption efficiency for both heavy metals.

AN - 19519038; 7242871 AB - Social parasitism has evolved at least ten times in the allodapine bees but studies that explore the parasite's integration and exploitation of host colonies are lacking. Using colony content and dissection data, we examine how Inquilina schwarzi affects the social organisation of its host Exoneura robusta. Our samples include three critical periods in the host life cycle: initial formation of dominance hierarchies in late autumn, commencement of oviposition by host queens in late winter, and development of secondary reproductives in late spring. I. schwarzi preferentially parasitises larger host colonies in autumn, but during autumn and winter, the parasite appears to be socially invisible, living in the nest without disrupting the normal functioning of these colonies. Inquilines begin egg laying much later than their hosts, and by late spring, they have disrupted host reproductive hierarchies, leading to lower skew in ovarian sizes of their host nestmates. Living invisibly within the host nest for the first 6 months and waiting until well after host reproduction has begun before disrupting their social organisation appear to be unique among social insects. Such a change in strategy may be facilitated by the different social systems found in allodapine bees, with the social parasites possibly disrupting the reproductive hierarchies during spring to prevent or reduce the normal dispersal of some host females from their natal nests.

Design: Cross-sectional study. Subjects: Ninety-nine (64 girls) overweight or mildly obese, but otherwise healthy, pre-pubertal 6-9-year olds recruited for a randomized controlled trial of weight management. Measures: Height, weight and waist circumference were measured with BMI and waist z-scores calculated. Fasting cholesterol and fractions, glucose and insulin were measured, together with systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP). Anthropometric and metabolic indicators were classified as normal or elevated using adult- or child-specific cut points with clustering of MS indicators also assessed using two adult and three child-specific definitions. Results: A total of 0-4% of subjects were classified with MS when adult definitions were applied. This increased to between 39 and 60% using child-specific definitions, varying according to whether hyperinsulinaemia was central to the MS classification. Systolic BP, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and waist z-score increased across insulin quartiles (P<0.05). The use of body mass index and waist circumference in the MS definition classified the same subjects. Conclusions: The classification of MS in children depends strongly on the definition chosen, with MS prevalence estimates higher if insulin is part of the definition and child-specific cut points for metabolic indicators are used. Hyperinsulinaemia and MS are common consequences of childhood obesity but they are not commonly part of the assessment or management plan for weight management in children. There is a need for the establishment of normal insulin ranges and consistent definition of MS in childhood and adolescence.

Woogenellup. The cellular and developmental responses of Woogenellup roots to the site- and dose-defined inoculation of green fluorescent protein (gfp)-labeled cells of ANU843 (nodulation proficient) and ANU794 was investigated using light, fluorescence, and confocal microscopy. Strain ANU794-gfp induced three primordia types and four developmental responses at the inoculation site: true or aberrant nodules (on 5 and 25% of plants, respectively), hybrid structures (20% of plants), or lateral roots (50% of plants). The novel hybrid structures possessed nodule and lateral root-like features and unusual vascular patterning. Strain ANU794-gfp induces lateral root formation by stimulating pericycle cell divisions at all nearby protoxylem poles. Only true nodules induced by ANU794-gfp contained intracellular bacteria. In contrast, strain ANU843-gfp induced nodules only and lateral root formation was suppressed at spot inoculation sites. Primordium types were distinguishable by the emission spectrum characteristics of phenolic UV-absorbing and fluorescent compounds that accumulate in primordium cells. Hybrid primordia contained (at least) two fluorescent cell populations, suggesting that they are chimeric. The results suggest that ANU794 may produce both nodule- and lateral root-generating signals simultaneously.

Previous studies have shown host vesicles attached to the L. pneumophila-containing vacuole (LCV) minutes after uptake. Here we examine the origin and content of these vesicles by electron microscopy (EM). Our data demonstrate that the attached vesicles are derived from endoplasmic reticulum (ER) based the presence of the resident ER proteins glucose-6-phosphatase, protein disulphide isomerase (PDI) and proteins having the ER-retention signal lysine-aspartatic acid-glutamic acid-leucine (KDEL). After tethering occurred, ER markers inside of attached vesicles were delivered into the lumen of the LCV, indicating ER fusion. Treatment of cells with brefeldin A did not interfere with the attachment of ER vesicles with the LCV, suggesting that tethering of these vesicles does not require activities mediated by ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF). ER vesicles were not tethered to the LCV in cells producing the Sar1H79G protein, indicating that vesicles produced by the Sar1-CopII system are necessary for vesicle attachment. From these data we conclude that formation of the organelle that supports L. pneumophila replication is a two-stage process that involves remodelling of the LCV by early secretory vesicles produced by the Sar1-CopII system, followed by attachment and fusion of ER.

Potential errors and artifacts associated with the soda lime chamber method were investigated and improvements made. The following issues relating to quantification and reliable measurement of soil CO sub(2) efflux were evaluated: (i) absorption capacity of the soda lime, (ii) additional and thus artifactual absorption of CO sub(2) by soda lime during the experimental procedure, (iii) variation in the CO sub(2) concentration inside the chamber headspace, and (iv) effects of chamber closure on soil CO sub(2) efflux. Soil CO sub(2) efflux, as measured using soda lime (with a range of quantities: 50, 100, and 200 g per 0.082 m super(2) ground area enclosed in chamber), was compared with transient IRGA measurements as a reference method that is based on well- established physical principles, using several forms of spatial and temporal comparisons. Natural variation in efflux rates ranged from 2 to 5.5 g C m super(-2) day super(-1) between different chambers and over different days. A comparison of the IRGA-based assay with measurement based on soda lime yielded an overall correlation coefficient of 0.82. The slope of the regression line was not significantly different from the 1:1 line, and the intercept was not significantly different from the origin. This result indicated that measurement of CO sub(2) efflux by soda lime absorption was quantitatively similar and unbiased in relation to the reference method. The soda lime method can be a highly practical method for field measurements if implemented with due care (in terms of drying and weighing soda lime, and in minimizing leakages), and validated for specific field conditions. A detailed protocol is presented for use of the soda lime method for measurement of CO sub(2) efflux from field soils.

Exudates from roots can stimulate or inhibit soil organisms that may release nutrients, infect the root, or modify plant growth via signals. These rhizosphere processes are poorly understood in field conditions. times Scope and Aims We characterize roots and their rhizospheres and rates of growth in units of distance and time so that interactions with soil organisms can be better understood in field conditions. We review: (1) distances between components of the soil, including dead roots remnant from previous plants, and the distances between new roots, their rhizospheres and soil components; (2) characteristic times (distance super(2)/diffusivity) for solutes to travel distances between roots and responsive soil organisms; (3) rates of movement and growth of soil organisms; (4) rates of extension of roots, and how these relate to the rates of anatomical and biochemical ageing of root tissues and the development of the rhizosphere within the soil profile; and (5) numbers of micro-organisms in the rhizosphere and the dependence on the site of attachment to the growing tip. We consider temporal and spatial variation within the rhizosphere to understand the distribution of bacteria and fungi on roots in hard, unploughed soil, and the activities of organisms in the overlapping rhizospheres of living and dead roots clustered in gaps in most field soils. times CONCLUSIONS: Rhizosphere distances, characteristic times for solute diffusion, and rates of root and organism growth must be considered to understand rhizosphere development. Many values used in our analysis were estimates. The paucity of reliable data underlines the rudimentary state of our knowledge of root-organism interactions in the field.

PCBs are persistent environmental contaminants with suspected endocrine-disrupting properties. Coplanar and noncoplanar PCBs have known differences in biologic effect. Animal studies link prenatal PCB exposure to adverse birth and early-life growth outcomes, but epidemiologic studies are conflicting. Regression model is used for repeated measures to investigate associations between maternal levels of PCBs and height and weight through 17 years of age. Tri-ortho-substituted PCBs were marginally associated with increased height in boys.

Geochemical data consisted of 4,300 measurements of each element in local groundwater. The median concentrations of Mg, Ca, and Cr and the Ca:Mg ratio in well water were 2.61 mg/L, 12.23 mg/L, 0.27 mu g/L, and 5.39, respectively. The results with specific Bayesian statistical analysis support earlier findings of a protective role of Mg and low Ca:Mg ratio against coronary heart disease but do not support the earlier hypothesis of a protective role of Ca.

At the same time, CPF increased the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), the enzymatic marker for the catecholamine phenotype. Upon exposure to nerve growth factor (NGF), PC12 cells developed neuritic projections in association with vastly increased TH and ChAT expression accompanying differentiation into the two phenotypes. When CPF was added in mid-differentiation, ChAT was unaffected and TH was increased slightly. CPF exerted stage-specific effects, reducing DNA synthesis in the undifferentiated state, impairing development of the cholinergic phenotype at the start of differentiated cells. The results suggest that CPF directly influences the phenotypic fate of neuronal precursors.

Animals were treated daily on postnatal days 1-4 by subcutaneous injection so as to bypass differences in first-pass activation to the oxon or catabolism to inactive products. Diazinon also decreased choline acetyltransferase activity, a cholinergic neuronal market, whereas it did not affect hemicholinium-3 binding to the presynaptic choline transporter, an index of cholinergic neuronal activity. A complete dichotomy between the systemic toxicity of organophosphates and their propensity to elicit developmental neurotoxicity was indicated. For parathion, the threshold for lethality lies below that necessary for adverse effects on brain development, whereas the opposite is true for chlorpyrifos and diazinon.

Maternal blood was collected during the third trimester, and the placenta was collected at delivery. 17 dioxin congeners, 12 dioxin-like PCBs and 6 indicator polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in placenta using gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry were measured. The ratio of 4-OH-E sub(2):2-OH-E sub(2) decreased with increasing exposure to 2,3,7,8-terrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. Serum levels of 4-OH-E sub(2) increased with increasing concentrations of high-chlorinated PCDFs. Altered estrogen catabolism might be associated with body burdens of PCDDs/PCDFs. It is suggested that PCDD/PCDF exposure must be considered when using the OH-E sub(2) ratio as a breast cancer marker.

The levels of 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP) and 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OhdG) in urine, micronucleated binucleated cells (BNMNs) in peripheral blood lymphocyte, and GST in serum were measured. It was showed that the group exposed to COEs had significantly increased levels of 1-OHP compared with the control group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that exposure to COEs had the highest odds ratio among variables analyzed and smoking was not a significant confounder of the levels of studied biomarkers. It was suggested that COE exposure can lead to increased internal PAH burden, genetic damage, oxidative stress, and GST activity.

E sub(2) treatment of U251-MG glial contransfected with zebrafish ER- alpha and the Aro-B promoter-luciferse reporter resulted in a 60- to 80-fold stimulation of luciferase activity. The detection limit was < 0.05 nM, and the EC sub(50) was 1.4 nM. Dose-response analyses with ethynylestrodiol (EE sub(2)), estrone (E sub(1)), alpha -zeralenol, and genistein showed that estrogenic potency of the agents markedly differed depending on the ER subtype in the assay. It is concluded that bioassay provides a fast, reliable, sensitive, and efficient test for evaluating estrogenic potency of endocrine disrupters.

Analyses were carried out for the entire period, as well as for burning and nonburning periods. Additional models were built using three factors obtained from factor analysis instead of particles or trace elements. Increases of 10.2 mu g/m super(3) in particles less than or equal to 2.5 mu m/m super(3) aerodynamic diameter and 42.9 mu g/m super(3) in PM sub(10) were associated with increase of 21.4% and 31.03% in child and elderly respiratory hospital admissions, respectively. The effects during the burning period were much higher than the effects during nonburning period. The results showed the adverse impact of sugar cane burning emissions on the health of the population, reinforcing the need for public efforts to reduce and eventually eliminate the source of air pollution.

Swedish and Greenlandic men had on average significantly higher proportions of Y sperm and correspondingly higher lipid-adjusted concentrations of PCB-153 compared with men from Warsaw. In the Swedish cohort, log-transformed PCB-153 and log-transformed dichlorodiphenyldichloroethene (p,p'-DDE) variables were significantly positively associated with Y-chromosome fractions. In the Polish cohort PCB-153 correlated negatively with the proportion of Y-bearing fraction of spermatozoa. It was indicated that persistent organohalogen pollutants (POP) exposure might be involved in changing the proportion of ejaculated Y-bearing spermatozoa in human populations. Intercountry differences, with different exposure situations and doses, may contribute to varying Y:X chromosome ratios.

Pregnant rats were exposed to 1, 2 or 4 mg Hg super(0) vapor/m super(3) or air for 2 hr/day from gestation day 6 through GD15. Neonatal brain, liver, and kidney were analyzed for total Hg at various times weaning (PND21). Consumption of milk from exposed dams resulted in a slight increase in kidney Hg concentration during the period. Increased Hg was measured in both control and exposed neonates and was attributed to consumption of NIH-07 diet containing trace levels of Hg. It was indicated that dietary exposure to trace amounts of Hg could result in a significantly greater accumulation of Hg in neonates than gestational exposure of high concentrations of Hg super(0) vapor.

Five studies reported that arsenic interfered with transcription factors involved in insulin-related gene expression: upstream factor 1 in pancreatic beta -cells and peroxisome proliferative-activated receptor gamma in preadipocytes. In studies from Taiwan and Bangladesh, the pooled relative risk estimate for diabetes comparing extreme arsenic exposure categories was 2.52, although methodologic problems limit the interpretation of the association. The evidence from occupational studies and from general populations other than Taiwan or Bangladesh was inconsistent. The current available evidence was inadequate to establish a causal role of arsenic in diabetes. Because arsenic exposure is widespread and diabetes prevalence is reaching epidemic proportions, experimental studies using arsenic concentrations relevant to human exposure and prospective epidemiologic studies measuring arsenic biomarkers and appropriately assessing diabetes should be a research priority.

Each postneonatal infant death was matched to four infants surviving to 1 year of age, by birth weight category and date of birth. Conditional logistic regression was used to estimate the odds of postneonatal all-cause, respiratory-related, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and external-cause mortality by exposure to PM sub(2.5), controlling for the matched sets and maternal demographic factors. An adjusted odds ratio for a 10- mu g/m super(3) increase in PM sub(2.5) of 1.07 for overall postneonatal mortality, 2.13 for respiratory-related postneonatal mortality, 0.82 for SIDS, and 0.83 for external causes is found. The California findings add further evidence of a PM air pollution effect on respiratory-related postneonatal infant mortality.

The correlation between levels of pesticides in the home and pesticides urinary metabolites points to significant prevention and education implications, and these messages are important to the farm workers and other agricultural communities. The increasing number of reports of NB performance deficits in workers with long-term exposure to pesticides is significant and points to the need for assurance that farmworkers receive mandated pesticide safety training and that occupational biomonitoring extend beyond those individuals who handle and apply pesticides. Improved worker surveillance is needed to allow estimation of the extent of pesticide exposure among a workforce that moves frequently to meet the employment needs of multiple agricultural operations.

The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised, Spanish version was used to measure IQ. Blood lead (BPb) was measured using a reference laboratory of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) quality assurance program for BPb. IQ at 6-10 years decreased significantly only with increasing natural-log third trimester BPb, controlling for other BPb and covariates. Lead exposure around 28 weeks gestation was a critical period for later child intellectual development, with lasting and possibly permanent effects. There was no evidence of a threshold; the strongest lead effects on IQ occurred within the first few microorganism of BPb.

Strong association between ambient particle concentrations and corresponding personal exposure was found. For both particles and gases, personal ambient associations were highest for individuals spending most of their time in high compared with low-ventilated environment. Cross-pollutant models indicated that ambient particle concentrations were much better surrogates for exposure to particle than to gases. The results suggested that ventilation may be an important modifier of the magnitude of effect in time-series health studies, and results from time-series health studies based on 24 hr ambient concentrations are more readily interpretable for particles than for gases.

Hematologic tests revealed leukocytosis with neutrophils predominant. The respiratory conditions of both patients improved after steroid therapy and oxygen support, but deterioration of liver function was found. The laboratory results showed that alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and gamma -glutamyl transpeptidase levels were marginally elevated. The hepatotoxic effect was attributed to inhalation of high-concentration HC/ZnO smoke in an enclosed area, where several hepatotoxicants, including ZnCl sub(2), HC, and chlorinated vapors, could have been generated and mixed in the smoke. These cases reported elaborate the hepatic effects that may occur in addition to pulmonary effects of HC/ZnO smoke.

The plant vigour hypothesis suggests, however, that many herbivores are attracted to fast growing plants. If these two opposing forces occur, what is the expected relationship between plant size and herbivore damage? We ask this question by focusing on variation in Toona ciliata, a tree that suffers chronic infestation by the shoot-boring moth Hypsipyla robusta. Considering trees between 6 and 36 months old, the dominant pattern was a positive relationship between tree height and the frequency of damage received. This pattern in cumulative damage is explained by the incidence of fresh damage recorded in each survey, which was positively associated with tree height. By controlling for this attractive effect of plant height it was also possible to detect a transient negative impact of damage on plant growth: trees with current H. robusta damage experienced smaller increases in height than those without damage.

In this study, phone-triplets are used as crude approximates for a syllable-length sub-word segmental unit. The proposed pseudo-syllabic length framework is subsequently used for both qualitative and quantitative examination of the contributions made by acoustic, phonotactic and prosodic information sources, and trialled in accordance with the NIST 1996 LID protocol. Firstly, a series of experimental comparisons are conducted which examine the utility of using segmental units for modelling short term acoustic features. These include comparisons between language specific Gaussian mixture models (GMMs), language specific GMMs for each segmental unit, and finally language specific hidden Markov models (HMM) for each segment, undertaken in an attempt to better model the temporal evolution of acoustic features. In a second tier of experiments, the contribution of both broad and fine class phonotactic information, when considered over an extended time frame, is contrasted with an implementation of the currently popular parallel phone recognition language modelling (PPRLM) technique. Results indicate that this information can be used to complement existing PPRLM systems to obtain improved performance. The pseudo-syllabic framework is also used to model prosodic dynamics and compared to an implemented version of a recently published system, achieving comparable levels of performance.

AN - 68068171; 16769453 AB - Investigations of injecting drug users (IDUs) have been conducted largely in urban areas. Those studies that compare rural and urban IDUs often utilise small and possibly unrepresentative samples. To investigate regional differences in the characteristics of IDUs. The study compared the demographic, drug use-related, and treatment characteristics of 1045 urban, 213 regional, and 254 rural opioid maintenance pharmacotherapy (OMP) treatment entrants recruited as part of a feasibility study into the implementation of a state-based treatment outcome monitoring system. Participants from regional and rural New South Wales (NSW) were significantly more likely to report sharing of needles and other injection equipment and higher non-opioid drug use and polydrug use than their urban counterparts. In addition, they were more likely to be living with dependent children, to be unemployed, and to be experiencing greater psychological problems than their urban counterparts. Needle sharing also was independently associated with being younger, female, having been arrested, or having non-opioid drugs of concern. Reasons for the higher rates of blood-borne virus (BBV) transmission risk-related behaviour among rural and regional IDUs should be investigated further and considered when planning for the targeted provision of harm reduction activities.

AN - 67821922; 16581807 AB - Although the La protein stabilizes nascent pre-tRNAs from nucleases, influences the pathway of pre-tRNA maturation, and assists correct folding of certain pre-tRNAs, it is dispensable for growth in both budding and fission yeast. Here we show that the Saccharomyces cerevisiae La shares functional redundancy with both tRNA modification enzymes and other proteins that contact tRNAs during their biogenesis. La is important for growth in the presence of mutations in either the arginyl tRNA synthetase or the tRNA modification enzyme Trm1p. In addition, two pseudouridine synthases, PUS3 and PUS4, are important for growth in strains carrying a mutation in tRNA(Arg)(CCG) and are essential when La is deleted in these strains. Depletion of Pus3p results in accumulation of the aminoacylated mutant tRNA(Arg)(CCG) in nuclei, while depletion of Pus4p results in decreased stability of the mutant tRNA. Interestingly, the degradation of mutant unstable forms of tRNA(Arg)(CCG) does not require the Trf4p poly(A) polymerase, suggesting that yeast cells possess multiple pathways for tRNA decay. These data demonstrate that La functions redundantly with both tRNA modifications and proteins that associate with tRNAs to achieve tRNA structural stability and efficient biogenesis.

AN - 67763028; 16470681 AB - Ethyl formate is being evaluated as a fumigant for stored grain as it is a potential alternative to the ozone-depleting fumigant methyl bromide and to phosphine, which is under pressure owing to the development of strong resistance in stored grain insects. However, use of ethyl formate faces significant challenges, such as poor penetration through grain, significant losses to grain sorption, high concentrations of fumigant required to control insects, and flammability risks, which have limited its further development. In this study it was found that the combination of carbon dioxide (5-20%) with ethyl formate significantly enhanced efficacy of the fumigant against external living stages of the rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae (L.), the lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica F., and the flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst). Dynamic application of ethyl formate and carbon dioxide mixture (100 mg litre-1 ethyl formate, 20% CO2) pumped through a model silo containing wheat (50 kg) for one gas exchange was also investigated. A flow rate of 6 litres min-1 gave a relatively even distribution of fumigant throughout the grain column and similar mortality levels among cultures of S. oryzae and T. castaneum placed at three positions, the top, middle and bottom of the column. Mortality of 99.8% of mixed stage cultures of T. castaneum and 95.1% of S. oryzae was achieved in 3 h exposures to 111 and 185 mg ethyl formate h litre-1 respectively applied by the dynamic method.

Emerging from the National Moving Image Preservation Plans, MIC began as a preservation initiative. MIC has successfully evolved to demonstrate that the practical requirements of preserving analogue artefacts can provide the foundation for an advanced research and development platform. The audience for MIC extends beyond archivists by exploiting the most current developments in non-textual indexing, digital rights management, and educational use; though MIC also meets the daily needs of archivists with informational resources and support for collaborative preservation, access, digitization, exhibition, and metadata initiatives.

Several proposals that have been offered to shore-up the finances of the Social Security program would create individual retirement accounts funded with part of the payroll tax. The authors of many of these proposals claim that future beneficiaries will be better off under their new system than under the current system. This study examines the consequences of differing earnings patterns and year-to-year differences in asset returns have for Social Security retired worker benefits in three Social Security reform proposals. Incorporating both actual earnings histories and variation in asset returns shows that none of the three individual account plans can always deliver benefits that are higher than payable current-law benefits.

AN - 21190405; 11509487 AB - Marine mammals are susceptible to the effects of anthropogenic contaminants. Here we examine the effect of different polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) accumulation scenarios on potential population growth rates using, as an example, data obtained for the population of bottlenose dolphins from Sarasota Bay, Florida. To achieve this goal, we developed an individual-based model framework that simulates the accumulation of PCBs in the population and modifies first-year calf survival based on maternal blubber PCB levels. In our example the current estimated annual PCB accumulation rate for the Sarasota Bay dolphin population might be depressing the potential population growth rate. However, our predictions are limited both by model naivety and parameter uncertainty. We emphasize the need for more data collection on the relationship between maternal blubber PCB levels and calf survivorship, the annual accumulation of PCBs in the blubber of females, and the transfer of PCBs to the calf through the placenta and during lactation. Such data require continued efforts directed toward long-term studies of known individuals in wild and semiwild populations.

AN - 21185407; 11509474 AB - In recent years there has been considerable concern over the ability of substances discharged into the environment to disrupt the normal endocrine function of wildlife. In particular, the apparent widespread feminization of male fish in rivers has received significant attention from regulators in the United Kingdom, the United States, Europe, and Japan. The U.K. and European epidemiological data sets have demonstrated that the occurrence of feminized fish is associated with effluent discharges and that the incidence and severity is positively correlated with the proportion of treated sewage effluent in receiving waters. Although weakly estrogenic substances may contribute to the overall effect, studies have concluded that steroid estrogens are the principal and most potent estrogenic components of domestic sewage. Extensive laboratory data sets confirm that steroid estrogens are capable of eliciting the effects observed in wild fish at concentrations that have been measured in effluents and in the environment. Based on evaluation of the available information, the Environment Agency (England and Wales) has concluded that the weight of evidence for endocrine disruption in fish is sufficient to develop a risk management strategy for estrogenically active effluents that discharge to the aquatic environment.

To resolve the uncertainties surrounding the use of microarray technology and the presentation of genomics data for regulatory purposes, several pharmaceutical companies and genomics technology providers have provided the FDA with reports of genomics studies that included supporting toxicology data (e.g., serum chemistry, histopathology). These studies were not associated with any active drug application and were exploratory or hypothesis generating in nature. For training purposes, these reports were reviewed by the Nonclinical Pharmacogenomics Subcommittee consisting of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research pharmacology and toxicology researchers and reviewers. In this article, we describe some of these submissions and report on our assessment of data content, format, and quality control metrics that were useful for evaluating these nonclinical genomics submissions, specifically in relation to the proposed MIAME/MINTox (minimum information about a microarray experiment/minimum information needed for a toxicology experiment) recommendations. These genomics submissions allowed both researchers and regulators to gain experience in the process of reviewing and analyzing toxicogenomics data. The experience will allow development of recommendations for the submission and review of these data as the state of the science evolves.

To investigate the extent to which public school students may be exposed to airborne effluent from swine CAFOs and to evaluate the association between schools' demographic characteristics and swine CAFO exposures, we assessed the proximity of 226 schools to the nearest swine CAFO and conducted a survey of school employees to identify schools with noticeable livestock odor. We used publicly available information describing the enrollment of each school to assess the association between race and socioeconomic status (SES) and swine CAFO exposure. Odor from livestock was noticeable outside (n = 47, 21%) and inside (n = 19, 8%) school buildings. Schools with 63% enrollment of white students and or = 47% of students receiving subsidized lunches at school were located closer to swine CAFOs (mean = 4.9 miles) than were the remaining schools (mean = 10.8 miles) and were more likely to be located within 3 miles of an operation than were schools with high-white/high-SES enrollment (prevalence ratio = 2.63; 95% confidence interval, 1.59-4.33). The prevalence of reported livestock odor varied with SES (low SES, 25%; high SES, 17%).

AN - 21183656; 11509493 AB - Descriptions of endocrine disruption have largely been associated with wildlife and driven by observations documenting estrogenic, androgenic, antiandrogenic, and antithyroid actions. These actions, in response to exposure to ecologically relevant concentrations of various environmental contaminants, have now been established in numerous vertebrate species. However, many potential mechanisms and endocrine actions have not been studied. For example, the DDT [1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane] metabolite, p,p -DDE [1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene] is known to disrupt prostaglandin synthesis in the uterus of birds, providing part of the explanation for DDT-induced egg shell thinning. Few studies have examined prostaglandin synthesis as a target for endocrine disruption, yet these hormones are active in reproduction, immune responses, and cardiovascular physiology. Future studies must broaden the basic science approach to endocrine disruption, thereby expanding the mechanisms and endocrine end points examined. This goal should be accomplished even if the primary influence and funding continue to emphasize a narrower approach based on regulatory needs. Without this broader approach, research into endocrine disruption will become dominated by a narrow dogma, focusing on a few end points and mechanisms.

Rivers correlate with widespread sexual disruption in wild fish populations. AN - 21183635; 11509490 AB - Steroidal estrogens, originating principally from human excretion, are likely to play a major role in causing widespread endocrine disruption in wild populations of the roach (Rutilus rutilus), a common cyprinid fish, in rivers contaminated by treated sewage effluents. Given the extent of this problem, risk assessment models are needed to predict the location and severity of endocrine disruption in river catchments and to identify areas where regulation of sewage discharges to remove these contaminants is necessary. In this study we attempted to correlate the extent of endocrine disruption in roach in British rivers, with their predicted exposure to steroid estrogens derived from the human population. The predictions of steroid estrogen exposure at each river site were determined by combining the modeled concentrations of the individual steroid estrogens [17beta-estradiol (E2), estrone (E1), and 17alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2)] in each sewage effluent with their predicted dilution in the immediate receiving water. This model was applied to 45 sites on 39 rivers throughout the United Kingdom. Each site studied was then categorized as either high, medium, or low "risk" on the basis of the assumed additive potency of the three steroid estrogens calculated from data derived from published studies in various cyprinid fish species. We sampled 1,438 wild roach from the predicted high-, medium-, and low-risk river sites and examined them for evidence and severity of endocrine disruption. Both the incidence and the severity of intersex in wild roach were significantly correlated with the predicted concentrations of the natural estrogens (E1 and E2) and the synthetic contraceptive pill estrogen (EE2) present. Predicted steroid estrogen exposure was, however, less well correlated with the plasma vitellogenin concentration measured in the same fish. Moreover, we found no correlation between any of the end points measured in the roach and the proportion of industrial effluents entering the rivers we studied. Overall, our results provide further and substantive evidence to support the hypothesis that steroidal estrogens play a major role in causing intersex in wild freshwater fish in rivers in the United Kingdom and clearly show that the location and severity of these endocrine-disrupting effects can be predicted.

AN - 21183615; 11509477 AB - Previous investigations have shown that bisphenol A (BPA) induces a superfeminization syndrome in the freshwater snail Marisa cornuarietis at concentrations as low as 1 microg/L. Superfemales are characterized by the formation of additional female organs, enlarged accessory sex glands, gross malformations of the pallial oviduct, and a stimulation of egg and clutch production, resulting in increased female mortality. However, these studies were challenged on the basis of incomplete experimentation. Therefore, the objective of the current approach was to bridge several gaps in knowledge by conducting additional experiments. In an initial series of experiments, study results from the reproductive phase of the snails were evaluated in the sub-micrograms per liter range. Before and after the spawning season, superfemale responses were observed [NOEC (no observed effect concentration) 7.9 ng/L, EC10 (effective concentration at 10%) 13.9 ng/L], which were absent during the spawning season. A further experiment investigated the temperature dependence of BPA responses by exposing snails at two temperatures in parallel. The adverse effect of BPA was at least partially masked at 27 degrees C (EC10 998 ng/L) when compared with 20 degrees C (EC10 14.8 ng/L). In M. cornuarietis, BPA acts as an estrogen receptor (ER) agonist, because effects were completely antagonized by a co-exposure to tamoxifen and Faslodex. Antiandrogenic effects of BPA, such as a significant decrease in penis length at 20 degrees C, were also observed. Competitive receptor displacement experiments indicate the presence of androgen- and estrogen-specific binding sites. The affinity for BPA of the estrogen binding sites in M. cornuarietis is higher than that of the ER in aquatic vertebrates. The results emphasize that prosobranchs are affected by BPA at lower concentrations than are other wildlife groups, and the findings also highlight the importance of exposure conditions.

AN - 21183596; 11509472 AB - Chemicals released into the environment potentially disrupt the endocrine system in wild animals and humans. Developing organisms are particularly sensitive to estrogenic chemicals. Exposure to estrogens or estrogenic chemicals during critical periods of development induces persistent changes in both reproductive and nonreproductive organs, including persistent molecular alterations. Estrogen-responsive genes and critical developmental windows of various animal species, therefore, need to be identified for investigators to understand the molecular basis of estrogenic activity during embryonic development. For investigators to understand molecular mechanisms of toxicity in various species, toxicogenomics/ecotoxicogenomics, defined as the integration of genomics (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics) into toxicology and ecotoxicology, need to be established as powerful tools for research. As the initial step toward using genomics to examine endocrine-disrupting chemicals, estrogen receptors and other steroid hormone receptors have been cloned in various species, including reptiles, amphibians, and fish, and alterations in the expression of these genes in response to chemicals were investigated. We are identifying estrogen-responsive genes in mouse reproductive tracts using cDNA microarrays and trying to establish microarray systems in the American alligator, roach, medaka, and water fleas (Daphnia magna). It is too early to define common estrogen-responsive genes in various animal species; however, toxicogenomics and ectotoxicogenomics provide powerful tools to help us understand the molecular mechanism of chemical toxicities in various animal species.

AN - 21183031; 11509495 AB - Over the last two decades, there has been increasing scientific concern and public debate regarding the adverse effects of chemical pollutants in the environment that can interfere with the normal functioning of the endocrine system in wildlife and in humans (the so-called endocrine-disrupting chemicals, EDCs). These concerns have been fueled primarily by reports of disrupted reproductive function and development in certain wildlife--mammals, birds, fish, amphibians, and mollusks--and by the increased incidence of certain diseases of the endocrine system in humans. Investigators hypothesize that EDCs are the cause. Some of the adverse effects observed in wildlife species are strongly associated with exposure to chemicals that mimic or interfere with hormone function, particularly estrogen function, but in many cases, the causal link between exposure to EDCs and endocrine disruption is unclear. Because of the diverse effects of EDCs on the thyroid, retinoid, androgen, estrogen, and corticosteroid systems of a wide range of animals, it is imperative that research continues to address the extent of the risk posed by EDCs to wildlife. The ecological relevance of endocrine disruption in wildlife is, however, difficult to quantify, as there is limited understanding of how physiological changes affect the individual animal and how individual responses affect population and community. Furthermore, a major challenge faced by environmental biologists is the need to place endocrine disruption into context with other environmental pressures faced by our wildlife populations, for example, global warming.

AN - 21183005; 11509483 AB - Concern has been raised in recent years that exposure to wastewater treatment effluents containing estrogenic chemicals can disrupt the endocrine functioning of riverine fish and cause permanent alterations in the structure and function of the reproductive system. Reproductive disorders may not necessarily arise as a result of estrogenic effects alone, and there is a need for a better understanding of the relative importance of endocrine disruption in relation to other forms of toxicity. Here, the integrated health effects of long-term effluent exposure are reported (reproductive, endocrine, immune, genotoxic, nephrotoxic) . Early life-stage roach, Rutilus rutilus, were exposed for 300 days to treated wastewater effluent at concentrations of 0, 15.2, 34.8, and 78.7% (with dechlorinated tap water as diluent). Concentrations of treated effluents that induced feminization of male roach, measured as vitellogenin induction and histological alteration to gonads, also caused statistically significant alterations in kidney development (tubule diameter), modulated immune function (differential cell count, total number of thrombocytes), and caused genotoxic damage (micronucleus induction and single-strand breaks in gill and blood cells). Genotoxic and immunotoxic effects occurred at concentrations of wastewater effluent lower than those required to induce recognizable changes in the structure and function of the reproductive endocrine system. These findings emphasize the need for multiple biological end points in tests that assess the potential health effects of wastewater effluents. They also suggest that for some effluents, genotoxic and immune end points may be more sensitive than estrogenic (endocrine-mediated) end points as indicators of exposure in fish.

AN - 21182980; 11509480 AB - Biomarkers are currently best used as mechanistic "signposts" rather than as "traffic lights" in the environmental risk assessment of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). In field studies, biomarkers of exposure [e.g., vitellogenin (VTG) induction in male fish] are powerful tools for tracking single substances and mixtures of concern. Biomarkers also provide linkage between field and laboratory data, thereby playing an important role in directing the need for and design of fish chronic tests for EDCs. It is the adverse effect end points (e.g., altered development, growth, and/or reproduction) from such tests that are most valuable for calculating adverseNOEC (no observed effect concentration) or adverseEC10 (effective concentration for a 10% response) and subsequently deriving predicted no effect concentrations (PNECs). With current uncertainties, biomarkerNOEC or biomarkerEC10 data should not be used in isolation to derive PNECs. In the future, however, there may be scope to increasingly use biomarker data in environmental decision making, if plausible linkages can be made across levels of organization such that adverse outcomes might be envisaged relative to biomarker responses. For biomarkers to fulfil their potential, they should be mechanistically relevant and reproducible (as measured by interlaboratory comparisons of the same protocol). VTG is a good example of such a biomarker in that it provides an insight to the mode of action (estrogenicity) that is vital to fish reproductive health. Interlaboratory reproducibility data for VTG are also encouraging; recent comparisons (using the same immunoassay protocol) have provided coefficients of variation (CVs) of 38-55% (comparable to published CVs of 19-58% for fish survival and growth end points used in regulatory test guidelines). While concern over environmental xenoestrogens has led to the evaluation of reproductive biomarkers in fish, it must be remembered that many substances act via diverse mechanisms of action such that the environmental risk assessment for EDCs is a broad and complex issue. Also, biomarkers such as secondary sexual characteristics, gonadosomatic indices, plasma steroids, and gonadal histology have significant potential for guiding interspecies assessments of EDCs and designing fish chronic tests. To strengthen the utility of EDC biomarkers in fish, we need to establish a historical control database (also considering natural variability) to help differentiate between statistically detectable versus biologically significant responses. In conclusion, as research continues to develop a range of useful EDC biomarkers, environmental decision-making needs to move forward, and it is proposed that the "biomarkers as signposts" approach is a pragmatic way forward in the current risk assessment of EDCs.

AN - 21181811; 11509485 AB - Contamination of freshwater ecosystems with nitrate is a growing global concern. Although nitrate pollution is recognized as a cause of aquatic eutrophication, few studies have examined the possible physiological impacts of nitrate exposure. In this study, we surveyed several reproductive variables of viviparous female Gambusia holbrooki (Poeciliidae) captured from eight springs in Florida. The eight springs represent a gradient of nitrate contamination (1-5 mg/L nitrate-nitrogen). We had two objectives in this study: to describe reproductive biology of female mosquitofish in the springs and to understand reproductive variation in the context of water quality, particularly the nitrate concentration. Our data show a significant negative association between nitrate and both dry weight of developing embryos and rate of reproductive activity among mature females. In addition, variation in Gambusia condition index and embryo number and dry weight was related to temperature variation, and hepatic weight was negatively related to dissolved oxygen concentration. Finally, we observed that many of the measured reproductive variables were interrelated and changeable, depending on gestational stage. Specifically, we provide evidence that maternal support of the embryo occurs at least during the first two thirds of gestation and that female fecundity is affected by an apparent tradeoff between embryo size and embryo number.

AN - 21181781; 11509478 AB - In this article we describe a series of strategic models of populations and individuals subject to challenge by endocrine disruptors. These models are not designed to be fitted to detailed data on specific species but rather are intended to provide general insights on the relative importance of different demographic mechanisms in the population context. Therefore, the models contain the minimum necessary biological detail, but in recompense they are highly accessible to mathematical analysis. We show that, over a range of models with contrasting biological detail, population viability is controlled by the number of female offspring that result from the average female's lifetime reproductive activity. Thus, male fertility changes have little effect at the population level until they become severe enough to reduce this average female output. We argue that in many circumstances endocrine disruptors are likely to produce directly deleterious effects on female fecundity at levels far below those required to reduce male fertility to dangerously low levels. Finally, we formulate a simple model of individual energetics that we argue can form the basis of a strategic discussion of the likely sensitivity of female demographic parameters to chemically induced changes in physiological function.

Dietary genistein may also play a role in the decreased incidence of cancer in Asians compared with Westerners, as well as increased cancer incidence in Asians immigrating to the United States. Here, we report that maternal dietary genistein supplementation of mice during gestation, at levels comparable with humans consuming high-soy diets, shifted the coat color of heterozygous viable yellow agouti (A(vy/a) offspring toward pseudoagouti. This marked phenotypic change was significantly associated with increased methylation of six cytosine-guanine sites in a retrotransposon upstream of the transcription start site of the Agouti gene. The extent of this DNA methylation was similar in endodermal, mesodermal, and ectodermal tissues, indicating that genistein acts during early embryonic development. Moreover, this genistein-induced hypermethylation persisted into adulthood, decreasing ectopic Agouti expression and protecting offspring from obesity. Thus, we provide the first evidence that in utero dietary genistein affects gene expression and alters susceptibility to obesity in adulthood by permanently altering the epigenome.

AN - 21181401; 11509494 AB - We histopathologically examined gonads and chemically determined organotin compounds in tissues of the ivory shell, Babylonia japonica. Imposex (a superimposition of male-type genital organs on females) occurred in approximately 80-90% of B. japonica specimens that we examined, with the penis and vas deferens both well developed. No oviduct blockage by vas deferens formation was observed. Ovarian spermatogenesis and suppressed ovarian maturation were observed in the females that exhibited imposex, although no histopathological abnormalities were found in males. Tissue distributions of organotin compounds [tributyltin (TBT), triphenyltin (TPhT), and their metabolites] were different for butyltins and phenyltins; a remarkably high accumulation of TBT was observed in the ctenidium, osphradium, and heart, whereas high concentrations of TPhT were detected in the ovary and digestive gland. More than one-third of TBT accumulated in the digestive glands of both males and females, followed by the testis, ctenidium, muscle, and heart tissues in males and in the muscle, ovary, ctenidium, and head tissues (including the central nervous system ganglia) in females. In both males and females, more than half of total TPhT accumulated in the digestive glands, followed by the gonads. The next highest values were in the muscle, ctenidium, and heart tissues in males and in the muscle, oviduct, and head tissues in females. Both TBT and TPhT concentrations in the gonads were positively correlated with penis length in females. Our findings strongly suggest that reproductive failure in adult females accompanied by imposex, possibly induced by TBT and TPhT from antifouling paints, may have caused the marked decline of B. japonica populations in Japan.

AN - 21181375; 11509484 AB - The effects of global change on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning encompass multiple complex dynamic processes. Climate change and exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are currently regarded as two of the most serious anthropogenic threats to biodiversity and ecosystems. We should, therefore, be especially concerned about the possible effects of EDCs on the ability of Arctic marine mammals and seabirds to adapt to environmental alterations caused by climate change. Relationships between various organochlorine compounds, necessary such as polychlorinated biphenyls, dichlorophenyldichloroethylene, hexachlorobenzene, and oxychlordane, and hormones in Arctic mammals and seabirds imply that these chemicals pose a threat to endocrine systems of these animals. The most pronounced relationships have been reported with the thyroid hormone system, but effects are also seen in sex steroid hormones and cortisol. Even though behavioral and morphological effects of persistent organic pollutants are consistent with endocrine disruption, no direct evidence exists for such relationships. Because different endocrine systems are important for enabling animals to respond adequately to environmental stress, EDCs may interfere with adaptations to increased stress situations. Such interacting effects are likely related to adaptive responses regulated by the thyroid, sex steroid, and glucocorticosteroid systems.

AN - 21181343; 11509473 AB - The histories of selected public and environmental hazards, from the first scientifically based early warnings about potential harm to the subsequent precautionary and preventive measures, have been reviewed by the European Environment Agency. This article relates the "late lessons" from these early warnings to the current debates on the application of the precautionary principle to the hazards posed by endocrine-disrupting substances (EDSs). Here, I summarize some of the definitional and interpretative issues that arise. These issues include the contingent nature of knowledge; the definitions of precaution, prevention, risk, uncertainty, and ignorance; the use of differential levels of proof; and the nature and main direction of the methodological and cultural biases within the environmental health sciences. It is argued that scientific methods need to reflect better the realities of multicausality, mixtures, timing of dose, and system dynamics, which characterize the exposures and impacts of EDSs. This improved science could provide a more robust basis for the wider and wise use of the precautionary principle in the assessment and management of the threats posed by EDSs. The evaluation of such scientific evidence requires assessments that also account for multicausal reality. Two of the often used, and sometimes misused, Bradford Hill "criteria," consistency and temporality, are critically reviewed in light of multicausality, thereby illustrating the need to review all of the criteria in light of 40 years of progress in science and policymaking.

On 18 and 19 October 2004 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences sponsored the workshop "Environmental Influences on the Induction and Incidence of Asthma" to review current scientific evidence with respect to factors that may contribute to the induction of asthma. Participants addressed two broad questions: a) What does the science suggest that regulatory and public health agencies could do now to reduce the incidence of asthma? and b) What research is needed to improve our understanding of the factors that contribute to the induction of asthma and our ability to manage this problem? In this article (one of four articles resulting from the workshop), we briefly characterize asthma and its public health and economic impacts, and intervention strategies that have been successfully used to prevent induction of asthma in the workplace. We conclude with the findings of seven working groups that focus on ambient air, indoor pollutants (biologics), occupational exposures, early life stages, older adults, intrinsic susceptibility, and lifestyle. These groups found strong scientific support for public health efforts to limit in utero and postnatal exposure to cigarette smoke. However, with respect to other potential types of interventions, participants noted many scientific questions, which are summarized in this article. Research to address these questions could have a significant public health and economic impact that would be well worth the investment.

The resulting tumor rates are commonly analyzed using a survival-adjusted Cochran-Armitage (CA) trend test. The CA trend test has reasonable power when the tumor-response curve is linear in dose, but it may be underpowered for a nonlinear response. An alternative survival-adjusted test procedure based on isotonic regression methodology has previously been proposed. Although this alternative procedure performs well when the tumor response is nonlinear in dose, it has less power than the CA trend test when the response is linear in dose. Here, we introduce a new survival-adjusted test procedure that makes use of both the CA trend test and the isotonic regression-based trend test. Using a broad range of experimental conditions typical of National Toxicology Program (NTP) bioassays, we conducted extensive computer simulations to compare the false-positive error rate and power of the proposed procedure with the survival-adjusted CA trend test. The new procedure competes well with the survival-adjusted CA trend test when observed tumor rates are linear in dose and performs substantially better when observed tumor rates are nonlinear in dose. Further, the proposed trend test almost always has a smaller false-positive rate than does the survival-adjusted CA trend test. We also developed an order-restricted inference-based procedure for performing multiple pairwise comparisons between each of the dose groups and the control group. The trend test and the multiple pairwise comparisons test are demonstrated using an example from a study conducted by the NTP.

To understand this better, we tested the strength of the association in children with elevated blood lead concentrations and whether succimer chelation changed blood pressure as it did blood lead. In a randomized clinical trial of 780 children with blood lead concentrations of 20-44 microg/dL at 12-33 months of age, we compared the systolic and diastolic blood pressure in the succimer-treated group and placebo group for up to 5 years of follow-up. We also analyzed the relation of blood lead to blood pressure. Children in the succimer group had lower blood lead concentrations for 9-10 months during and after treatment, but their blood pressure did not differ from those in the placebo group during this period. During 1-5 years of follow-up, children in the succimer group had systolic blood pressure 1.09 (95% confidence interval, 0.27-1.90) mmHg higher than did untreated children in a model with repeated measurements, but the difference in diastolic blood pressure was not statistically significant. No association between blood lead and blood pressure was found. Overall, there is no association between blood lead and blood pressure in these children with moderately high lead exposure, nor does chelation with succimer change blood pressure.

AN - 21175224; 11509481 AB - Tens of thousands of man-made chemicals are in regular use and discharged into the environment. Many of them are known to interfere with the hormonal systems in humans and wildlife. Given the complexity of endocrine systems, there are many ways in which endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can affect the body's signaling system, and this makes unraveling the mechanisms of action of these chemicals difficult. A major concern is that some of these EDCs appear to be biologically active at extremely low concentrations. There is growing evidence to indicate that the guiding principle of traditional toxicology that "the dose makes the poison" may not always be the case because some EDCs do not induce the classical dose-response relationships. The European Union project COMPRENDO (Comparative Research on Endocrine Disrupters--Phylogenetic Approach and Common Principles focussing on Androgenic/Antiandrogenic Compounds) therefore aims to develop an understanding of potential health problems posed by androgenic and antiandrogenic compounds (AACs) to wildlife and humans by focusing on the commonalities and differences in responses to AACs across the animal kingdom (from invertebrates to vertebrates) .

Shakespeare famously wrote. During our recent experience in conceptualizing and creating a new Office of Translational Biomedicine at the NIEHS, we have learned that the answer, often, is "quite a lot," and perhaps necessarily so. The problem in this instance arises from the use of the term "translational." This term has come to represent an area of biomedical research that, although full of promise, defies easy definition. Although variations of "translational medicine" and "translational research" are widely used to identify scientific programs in both public and private organizations, when asked what the term means, even many would-be practitioners might respond with some version of the "I know it when I see it" explanation. But it may be broadly described as using knowledge gained at the bench of basic research--a mechanistic understanding of disease--to improve clinical applications at the "bedside" or enhance disease prevention in the community. Our initial view was that the use of the term "translational" to describe this area of biomedical research is misleading, as the word carries many connotations, and is essentially inaccurate. However, this view is debatable.

This study addresses how methylated arsenicals pass through cell membranes. We have previously shown that aquaglyceroporin channels, including Escherichia coli GlpF, Saccharomyces cerevisiae Fps1p, AQP7, and AQP9 from rat and human, conduct trivalent inorganic arsenic [As(III)] as arsenic trioxide, the protonated form of arsenite. One of the initial products of As(III) methylation is methylarsonous acid [MAs(III)], which is considerably more toxic than inorganic As(III). In this study, we investigated the ability of GlpF, Fps1p, and AQP9 to facilitate movement of MAs(III) and found that rat aquaglyceroporin conducted MAs(III) at a higher rate than the yeast homologue. In addition, rat AQP9 facilitates MAs(III) at a higher rate than As(III). These results demonstrate that aquaglyceroporins differ both in selectivity for and in transport rates of trivalent arsenicals. In this study, the requirement of AQP9 residues Phe-64 and Arg-219 for MAs(III) movement was examined. A hydrophobic residue at position 64 is not required for MAs(III) transport, whereas an arginine at residue 219 may be required. This is similar to that found for As(III), suggesting that As(III) and MAs(III) use the same translocation pathway in AQP9. Identification of MAs(III) as an AQP9 substrate is an important step in understanding physiologic responses to arsenic in mammals, including humans.

We measured urinary 1-OHP in 48 children 3 years of age in Mariupol, Ukraine, who lived near a steel mill and coking facility and compared these with 1-OHP concentrations measured in 42 children of the same age living in the capital city of Kiev, Ukraine. Children living in Mariupol had significantly higher urinary 1-OHP and creatinine-adjusted urinary 1-OHP than did children living in Kiev (adjusted: 0.69 vs. 0.34 micromol/mol creatinine, p 0.001; unadjusted: 0.42 vs. 0.30 ng/mL, p = 0.002). Combined, children in both cities exposed to environmental tobacco smoke in their homes had higher 1-OHP than did children not exposed (0.61 vs. 0.42 micromol/mol creatinine; p = 0.04; p = 0.07 after adjusting for city). In addition, no significant differences were seen with sex of the children. Our sample of children in Mariupol has the highest reported mean urinary 1-OHP concentrations in children studied to date, most likely due to their proximity to a large industrial point source of PAHs.

AN - 21170777; 11509488 AB - It had been observed that many male Sitka black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus sitkensis) on Kodiak Island, Alaska, had abnormal antlers, were cryptorchid, and presented no evidence of hypospadias. We sought to better understand the problem and investigated 171 male deer for phenotypic aberrations and 12 for detailed testicular histopathology. For the low-lying Aliulik Peninsula (AP), 61 of 94 deer were bilateral cryptorchids (BCOs); 70% of these had abnormal antlers. Elsewhere on the Kodiak Archipelago, only 5 of 65 deer were BCOs. All 11 abdominal testes examined had no spermatogenesis but contained abnormalities including carcinoma in situ-like cells, possible precursors of seminoma; Sertoli cell, Leydig cell, and stromal cell tumors; carcinoma and adenoma of rete testis; and microlithiasis or calcifications. Cysts also were evident within the excurrent ducts. Two of 10 scrotal testes contained similar abnormalities, although spermatogenesis was ongoing. We cannot rule out that these abnormalities are linked sequelae of a mutation(s) in a founder animal, followed by transmission over many years and causing high prevalence only on the AP. However, based on lesions observed, we hypothesize that it is more likely that this testis-antler dysgenesis resulted from continuing exposure of pregnant females to an estrogenic environmental agent(s), thereby transforming testicular cells, affecting development of primordial antler pedicles, and blocking transabdominal descent of fetal testes. A browse (e.g., kelp) favored by deer in this locale might carry the putative estrogenic agent(s).

AN - 21160180; 11509492 AB - High concentrations of vitellogenin (VTG; egg yolk protein) have previously been found in male flounder (Platichthys flesus) from several UK estuaries; these levels have been ascribed to the presence of estrogenic endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs). Gonadal abnormalities, including intersex, have also been recorded in these estuaries. However, there is no firm evidence to date that these two findings are causally linked or that the presence of estrogenic EDCs has any adverse population effects. In the present study, we examined the relationship between concentrations of VTG and sex steroids (11-oxo-testosterone in males and 17beta-estradiol in females) in specimens of flounder captured from the estuary of the River Mersey. We first questioned whether the high concentrations of VTG in male and immature female flounder were indeed caused by a direct effect of exogenous EDCs and not indirectly via the endogenous secretion of 17beta-estradiol. The data favored the direct involvement of estrogenic EDCs. We then questioned whether the presence of estrogenic EDCs not only stimulated inappropriate VTG synthesis but whether it might also have had a negative effect on endogenous steroid secretion. It should be noted that the predicted consequences of a drop in steroid secretion include smaller gonads, smaller oocytes, fewer numbers of sperm, and depressed spawning behavior. This question was more difficult to answer because of the strong effect of the seasonal reproductive cycle and stage of maturation on steroid concentrations.

AN - 21160151; 11509486 AB - Little is known concerning the potential ecological effects of hormonally active substances associated with discharges from animal feeding operations. Trenbolone acetate is a synthetic anabolic steroid that is widely used in the United States to promote growth of beef cattle. Metabolites of trenbolone acetate include the stereoisomers 17alpha- and 17beta-trenbolone, both of which are stable in animal wastes and are relatively potent androgens in fish and mammals. Our purpose in this study was to evaluate the occurrence of 17alpha- and 17beta-trenbolone in a beef cattle feedlot discharge and in river water upstream and downstream from the discharge. In conjunction with that effort, we measured in vitro androgenic activity of the discharge using CV-1 cells that had been transiently cotransfected with human androgen receptor and reporter gene constructs. Samples were collected on nine different occasions during 2002 and 2003. Whole-water samples from the discharge caused a significant androgenic response in the CV-1 cells and contained detectable concentrations of 17alpha- and 17beta-trenbolone. Further work is needed to ascertain the degree to which synthetic androgens such as trenbolone contribute to androgenic activity of feedlot discharges.

AN - 21157903; 11509482 AB - The effects of simple mixtures of chemicals, with similar mechanisms of action, can be predicted using the concentration addition model (CA). The ability of this model to predict the estrogenic effects of more complex mixtures such as effluent discharges, however, has yet to be established. Effluents from 43 U.K. wastewater treatment works were analyzed for the presence of the principal estrogenic chemical contaminants, estradiol, estrone, ethinylestradiol, and nonylphenol. The measured concentrations were used to predict the estrogenic activity of each effluent, employing the model of CA, based on the relative potencies of the individual chemicals in an in vitro recombinant yeast estrogen screen (rYES) and a short-term (14-day) in vivo rainbow trout vitellogenin induction assay. Based on the measured concentrations of the four chemicals in the effluents and their relative potencies in each assay, the calculated in vitro and in vivo responses compared well and ranged between 3.5 and 87 ng/L of estradiol equivalents (E2 EQ) for the different effluents. In the rYES, however, the measured E2 EQ concentrations in the effluents ranged between 0.65 and 43 ng E2 EQ/L, and they varied against those predicted by the CA model. Deviations in the estimation of the estrogenic potency of the effluents by the CA model, compared with the measured responses in the rYES, are likely to have resulted from inaccuracies associated with the measurement of the chemicals in the extracts derived from the complex effluents. Such deviations could also result as a consequence of interactions between chemicals present in the extracts that disrupted the activation of the estrogen response elements in the rYES. E2 EQ concentrations derived from the vitellogenic response in fathead minnows exposed to a series of effluent dilutions were highly comparable with the E2 EQ concentrations derived from assessments of the estrogenic potency of these dilutions in the rYES. Together these data support the use of bioassays for determining the estrogenic potency of WwTW effluents, and they highlight the associated problems for modeling approaches that are reliant on measured concentrations of estrogenic chemicals.

The rapid rise in asthma over the past three decades in Western societies has been attributed to numerous diverse factors, including increased awareness of the disease, altered lifestyle and activity patterns, and ill-defined changes in environmental exposures. It is well accepted that persons with asthma are more sensitive than persons without asthma to air pollutants such as cigarette smoke, traffic emissions, and photochemical smog components. It has also been demonstrated that exposure to a mix of allergens and irritants can at times promote the development phase (induction) of the disease. Experimental evidence suggests that complex organic molecules from diesel exhaust may act as allergic adjuvants through the production of oxidative stress in airway cells. It also seems that climate change is increasing the abundance of aeroallergens such as pollen, which may result in greater incidence or severity of allergic diseases. In this review we illustrate how environmental tobacco smoke, outdoor air pollution, and climate change may act as environmental risk factors for the development of asthma and provide mechanistic explanations for how some of these effects can occur.

AN - 21157409; 11509491 AB - There is a growing body of evidence that indicates common environmental pollutants are capable of disrupting reproductive and developmental processes by interfering with the actions of endogenous hormones. Many reports of endocrine disruption describe changes in the normal development of organs and tissues that are consistent with genetic damage, and recent studies confirm that many chemicals classified to have hormone-modulating effects also possess carcinogenic and mutagenic potential. To date, however, there have been no conclusive examples linking genetic damage with perturbation of endocrine function and adverse effects in vivo. Here, we provide the first evidence of DNA damage associated with the development of imposex (the masculinization of female gastropods considered to be the result of alterations to endocrine-mediated pathways) in the dog-whelk Nucella lapillus. Animals (n = 257) that displayed various stages of tributyltin (TBT) -induced imposex were collected from sites in southwest England, and their imposex status was determined by physical examination. Linear regression analysis revealed a very strong relationship (correlation coefficient of 0.935, p 0.0001) between the degree of imposex and the extent of DNA damage (micronucleus formation) in hemocytes. Moreover, histological examination of a larger number of dog-whelks collected from sites throughout Europe confirmed the presence of hyperplastic growths, primarily on the vas deferens and penis in both TBT-exposed male snails and in females that exhibited imposex. A strong association was found between TBT body burden and the prevalence of abnormal growths, thereby providing compelling evidence to support the hypothesis that environmental chemicals that affect reproductive processes do so partly through DNA damage pathways.

AN - 21157373; 11509489 AB - Amphibian populations are declining globally at an alarming rate. Pesticides are among a number of proposed causes for these declines. Although a sizable database examining effects of pesticides on amphibians exists, the vast majority of these studies focus on toxicological effects (lethality, external malformations, etc.) at relatively high doses (parts per million). Very few studies focus on effects such as endocrine disruption at low concentrations. Further, most studies examine exposures to single chemicals only. The present study examined nine pesticides (four herbicides, two fungicides, and three insecticides) used on cornfields in the midwestern United States. Effects of each pesticide alone (0.1 ppb) or in combination were examined. In addition, we also examined atrazine and S-metolachlor combined (0.1 or 10 ppb each) and the commercial formulation Bicep II Magnum, which contains both of these herbicides. These two pesticides were examined in combination because they are persistent throughout the year in the wild. We examined larval growth and development, sex differentiation, and immune function in leopard frogs (Rana pipiens). In a follow-up study, we also examined the effects of the nine-compound mixture on plasma corticosterone levels in male African clawed frogs (Xenopus laevis). Although some of the pesticides individually inhibited larval growth and development, the pesticide mixtures had much greater effects. Larval growth and development were retarded, but most significantly, pesticide mixtures negated or reversed the typically positive correlation between time to metamorphosis and size at metamorphosis observed in controls: exposed larvae that took longer to metamorphose were smaller than their counterparts that metamorphosed earlier. The nine-pesticide mixture also induced damage to the thymus, resulting in immunosuppression and contraction of flavobacterial meningitis. The study in X. laevis revealed that these adverse effects may be due to an increase in plasma levels of the stress hormone corticosterone. Although it cannot be determined whether all the pesticides in the mixture contribute to these adverse effects or whether some pesticides are effectors, some are enhancers, and some are neutral, the present study revealed that estimating ecological risk and the impact of pesticides on amphibians using studies that examine only single pesticides at high concentrations may lead to gross underestimations of the role of pesticides in amphibian declines.

AN - 21157342; 11509479 AB - We have previously shown that exposure to exogenous androgens causes female sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) to produce the glue protein, spiggin, in their kidneys. This protein can be quantified by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay developed and validated at the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science. Here we report the development of an in vivo test for the detection of environmental antiandrogens. The system involves the simultaneous exposure of female sticklebacks to 17alpha-methyltestosterone (a model androgen) at 500 ng/L and suspected environmental antiandrogens over a period of 21 days. The spiggin content of the kidneys is then measured, and any antiandrogenic activity is evaluated by comparing the spiggin levels of female fish exposed to antiandrogens to those of female fish exposed solely to the model androgen. The assay detects the antiandrogenic activity of flutamide, vinclozolin (both used at 250 microg/L), linuron (at 150 microg/L), and fenitrothion (at 15 and 150 microg/L). These results provide the first evidence of in vivo antiandrogenic activity of both linuron and fenitrothion in teleosts. Although there are other suggested fish species that could be used for this purpose, the stickleback is the only widely available species in which it is now possible to study both estrogenic and antiandrogenic end points in the same individual. Furthermore, the species is endemic and ubiquitous in Europe, and it possesses many ecological traits that make it better suited than other potential species for field research into endocrine disruption.

For the United States, the enactment of new free trade agreements, the downsizing of our manufacturing base, and consumer demand for inexpensive products are all affecting both jobs and the environment, especially in those regions with ports and transportation corridors designed to distribute imported goods. The changing dynamics of trade prompted a journalist to remark last month that the United States "is becoming nothing more than a distribution economy, importing, moving and selling consumer goods" (Romans 2006). As this shift in the world and U.S. economies occurs, little attention has been placed on its environmental impacts, especially the health impacts of air pollution from international trade and "goods movement." As the Focus article describes in this issue of EHP (Sharma 2006), the volume of imports from Asian countries into the United States has skyrocketed.

Marsh frogs inhabiting wetlands in Sumgayit are exposed to complex mixtures of chemical contaminants, including petroleum products, pesticides, heavy metals, and many other industrial chemicals. Previous results documented elevated estimates of genetic damage in marsh frogs from the two most heavily contaminated sites. Based on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region sequence data, the Sumgayit region has reduced levels of genetic diversity, likely due to environmental degradation. The Sumgayit region also acts as an ecological sink, with levels of gene flow into the region exceeding gene flow out of the region. Additionally, localized mtDNA heteroplasmy and diversity patterns suggest that one of the most severely contaminated sites in Sumgayit is acting as a source of new mutations resulting from an increased mutation rate. This study provides an integrated method for assessing the cumulative population impacts of chronic contaminant exposure by studying both population genetic and evolutionary effects.

Sensitization to environmental allergens is an important risk factor for the development of asthma. Innate immune responses are often mediated by receptors on mononuclear cells whose primary ligands arise from microorganisms. Many pathogens, especially viruses, target epithelial cells and affect the host immune response to those pathogens. The acquired immune response to an allergen is influenced by the nature of the innate immune system. Products of innate immune responses to microbes promote T(H)1-acquired responses. In the absence of T(H)1 responses, T(H)2 responses can dominate. Central to T(H)1/T(H)2 balance is the composition of contaminants that derive from microbes. In this review we examine the biology of the response to allergens, viruses, and bacterial products in the context of the development of allergy and asthma.

Shipping emissions can be reduced substantially by using some of the same technologies being applied to land-based sources, including cleaner engines and fuels, exhaust control methods, and operational modifications. Various ports are testing the feasibility of these mechanisms with varying degrees of success. What is perhaps most greatly needed is expedited creation of better regulations at all levels, from the International Maritime Organization to port city authorities.

A critical scientific and policy question is whether a threshold level exists below which O3 does not adversely affect mortality. We developed and applied several statistical models to data on air pollution, weather, and mortality for 98 U.S. urban communities for the period 1987-2000 to estimate the exposure-response curve for tropospheric O3 and risk of mortality and to evaluate whether a "safe" threshold level exists. Methods included a linear approach and subset, threshold, and spline models. All results indicate that any threshold would exist at very low concentrations, far below current U.S. and international regulations and nearing background levels. For example, under a scenario in which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's 8-hr regulation is met every day in each community, there was still a 0.30% increase in mortality per 10-ppb increase in the average of the same and previous days' O3 levels (95% posterior interval, 0.15-0.45%). Our findings indicate that even low levels of tropospheric O3 are associated with increased risk of premature mortality. Interventions to further reduce O3 pollution would benefit public health, even in regions that meet current regulatory standards and guidelines.

AN - 21138708; 11509476 AB - Atrazine is a potent endocrine disruptor that both chemically castrates and feminizes male amphibians. It depletes androgens in adult frogs and reduces androgen-dependent growth of the larynx in developing male larvae. It also disrupts normal gonadal development and feminizes the gonads of developing males. Gonadal malformations induced by atrazine include hermaphrodites and males with multiple testes [single sex polygonadism (SSP)], and effects occur at concentrations as low as 0.1 ppb (microg/L). Here, we describe the frequencies at which these malformations occur and compare them with morphologies induced by the estrogen, 17beta-estradiol (E2) , and the antiandrogen cyproterone acetate, as a first step in testing the hypothesis that the effects of atrazine are a combination of demasculinization and feminization. The various forms of hermaphroditism did not occur in controls. Nonpigmented ovaries, which occurred at relatively high frequencies in atrazine-treated larvae, were found in four individuals out of more than 400 controls examined (1%). Further, we show that several types of gonadal malformations (SSP and three forms of hermaphroditism) are produced by E2 exposure during gonadal differentiation, whereas a final morphology (nonpigmented ovaries) appears to be the result of chemical castration (disruption of androgen synthesis and/or activity) by atrazine. These experimental findings suggest that atrazine-induced gonadal malformations result from the depletion of androgens and production of estrogens, perhaps subsequent to the induction of aromatase by atrazine, a mechanism established in fish, amphibians, reptiles, and mammals (rodents and humans).

AN - 21138689; 11509475 AB - Man-made endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) present a threat to biodiversity, even in remote areas. To date, numerous wildlife species have been affected by EDCs in the environment, but it is likely that many more species are suffering effects that have not yet been reported. Impaired reproduction, damaged brain function, and deficits of the immune system are of particular concern. In order to bring all endocrine-disrupting chemicals under control, the development of screens and tests to identify EDCs must be expedited. However, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) considers that sufficient information is already available to merit action on several such substances. In addition, it must be recognized that proving the mechanism of action for some chemicals may take decades. Therefore, it is important to enable certain chemicals to be brought under stricter control on the basis of strong suspicion of endocrine disruption or biochemical signaling disruption. Furthermore, the risk assessment process itself also must be modified, and some suggestions are discussed in this article. WWF maintains that any effect that could reasonably be expected to affect the population level should be taken forward in environmental risk characterization, in particular, behavioral effects should be given more consideration. Current chemical management policies are not protective, and we argue for modifications in them to be made.

The demand for cowpeas is high but yields remain critically low, largely because of insect pests. Cowpea germplasm contains little or no resistance to major insect pests and a gene technology approach to adding insect protection traits is now a high priority. We have adapted features of several legume and other transformation systems and reproducibly obtained transgenic cowpeas that obey Mendelian rules in transmitting the transgene to their progeny. Critical parameters in this transformation system include the choice of cotyledonary nodes from developing or mature seeds as explants and a tissue culture medium devoid of auxins in the early stages, but including the cytokinin BAP at low levels during shoot initiation and elongation. Addition of thiol-compounds during infection and co-culture with Agrobacterium and the choice of the bar gene for selection with phosphinothricin were also important. Transgenic cowpeas that transmit the transgenes to their progeny can be recovered at a rate of one fertile plant per thousand explants. These results pave the way for the introduction of new traits into cowpea and the first genes to be trialled will include those with potential to protect against insect pests.

The freshwater research on which these advances are based was triggered by well-publicised blooms of cyanobacteria during the 1980s and early 1990s, particularly a 1000 km long bloom on the Darling River. In estuaries the study which greatly enhanced our understanding but simultaneously served to stimulate further research into estuarine eutrophication, the Port Phillip Bay Study, was initially designed to address perceived problems of toxicants in the Bay but provided profound insights into drivers for, and ecosystem responses to, eutrophication. Subsequent estuarine research has largely been stimulated by management questions arising from Australia's increasing coastal development for residential purposes. The research has shown that some of the beliefs extant at the time of the blooms were incorrect. For example, it is now clear that stratification and light penetration, not nutrient availability, are the triggers for blooms in the impounded rivers of southeastern Australia, although nutrient exhaustion limits the biomass of blooms. Again, nitrogen seems to play as important a role as phosphorus does in controlling the biomass of these freshwater blooms. The research has also shown that aspects of eutrophication, such as nutrient transport, are dominated by different processes in different parts of Australia. Many of the biophysical processes involved in eutrophication have now been quantified sufficiently for models to be developed of such processes as sediment-nutrient release, stratification, turbidity and algal growth in both freshwater and estuarine systems. In some cases the models are reliable enough for the knowledge gained in particular waterbodies to be applied elsewhere. Thus, there is now a firm scientific foundation for managers to rely upon when managing algal blooms.

However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the enhanced inflammation to bacterial infections remain unclear. Increased proinflammatory responses toward Toll-like receptor-2 (TLR2) ligands in CF airway epithelial cells have been proposed as contributing to this enhanced chronic inflammation. The aims of this study are to confirm that aberrant regulation of TLR2 expression occurs in CF bronchial epithelial cells and to clarify the molecular mechanisms involved in dysregulated expression of TLR2 gene in CF bronchial epithelial cells.

Corn steep liquor (CSL) supplemented with KH sub(2)PO sub(4), MgSO sub(4), and CaCl sub(2) was used as the source of nitrogen and mineral nutrients. Using a tower-type reactor (working volume (WV), 0.45 L), continuous fermentation with a high ethanol productivity of over 20 g/(L h) was achieved at a dilution rate of 0.3 h super(-1) with a pH of 4.5 at 35 degree C. A continuous fermentation process using two tower-type reactors (WV, 4.5 L each) connected in series was then constructed to decrease the concentration of residual sugars (except for xylose). The contamination of bacteria was effectively repressed and an ethanol productivity of over 12.6 g/(L h) was achieved at an overall dilution rate of 0.2 h super(-1) with a pH of 4.0 at 35 degree C. Strain KF-7 was thus demonstrated to be suitable for the production of ethanol from acid hydrolysate of wood biomass.

This study aims to explore peer and media influences in the body image concerns and dieting awareness of younger girls, aged 5-8 years. A sample of 128 girls was recruited from the first 4 years of formal schooling. Individual interviews were conducted to assess the aspects of body image, as well as dieting awareness by means of a brief scenario. A number of sources of peer and media influence were examined. It was found that by 6 years of age, a large number of girls desired a thinner ideal figure. Both peer and media influences emerged as significant predictors of body image and dieting awareness. Specifically, girls' perceptions of their peers' body dissatisfaction predicted their own level of body dissatisfaction and dieting awareness. Watching music television shows and reading appearance-focused magazines predicted dieting awareness. In particular, girls who looked at magazines aimed at adult women had greater dissatisfaction with their appearance. Thus, the present study highlights that girls aged 5-8 years of age are already living in an appearance culture in which both peers and the media influence body image and dieting awareness.

The concentration time (Ct) product of ethanedinitrile over a range of temperatures (4.4, 10.1, 15.6, and 20.1 degree C) decreased with increasing temperature, for both 3- and 6-h exposures. The Ct products varied with time of exposure at different temperatures. The variations in mortality at different temperatures are described with a slope ratio (Y = [slope]6h/[slope]3h). At different temperatures, the concentration of ethanedinitrile and the duration of exposure play different roles in killing A. glabripennis larvae. These results suggest the control of A. glabripennis larvae within wood is achievable.

(Hymenoptera: Vespidae), was introduced into Australia in 1959 and has established throughout southern Australia. In urban environments, V. germanica is frequently a nuisance pest at public gatherings and to homeowners. In native environments, it has the potential to pose a threat to native invertebrates. The current practice for controlling the wasps is nest destruction with pesticide. However, locating the nest(s) is not always practical or possible. Meat baits impregnated with an insecticide that foraging wasps cut and carry back to the nest offer a means of suppressing wasps where the nest sites are unknown. The success of meat baits depends on the attractiveness and acceptance of the meat to the wasp and the mode of action of the insecticide. Our objective was to determine wasp preference and acceptance of five processed meats: canned chicken or fish and freeze-dried chicken, fish, or kangaroo. We found that more wasps visited and took freeze-dried kangaroo and canned chicken than the other baits. Canned and freeze-dried fish were similarly preferred, and freeze-dried chicken was the least attractive and accepted by foraging wasps. Our findings demonstrate that wasps prefer some processed meats and hence take more loads back to the nest. By combining a suitable insecticide with a meat bait preferred by wasps, the likelihood of effective suppression of nuisance wasp populations should be increased.

They replace natural structures or add to the amount of hard substratum in an area and provide habitats for many fish and invertebrates. Previous work has concentrated on fish or on the invertebrates that occupy the primary substratum of artificial structures. Mussels often grow on different types of structures (pontoons, pilings, seawalls and natural reefs) and provide a secondary substratum for other organisms to inhabit. Counting and identifying organisms associated with mussel beds is traditionally done to species level, which is very time-consuming. To save time, organisms in this study were identified to coarse levels of taxonomic resolution (a mix of taxa, such as class, order, family and genus), which showed similar patterns to those when particularly speciose and abundant groups were identified to species. This study tests hypotheses that the distribution and abundance of mobile and sessile organisms that inhabit mussel beds will differ among natural and various types of artificial structures. When the associated assemblages of mussel beds from different types of structures and from different locations were examined, assemblages varied according to the type of structure they inhabited and its location. Assemblages associated with mussels on pontoons differed consistently from those on other types of structures. Patterns in the assemblages were also consistent through time. These data show that the types and amounts of artificial structures added to an environment can affect the types, distribution and abundances of organisms living in biogenic habitats.

The objective was to determine the changes in global gene expression that occur in normal human fibroblasts in response to IR-induced DNA damage using 20K Agilent human 1A microarrays. A microarray analysis algorithm identified nine IR-responsive patterns of gene expression that were common to the fibroblast lines, including a dominant p53-dependent G sub(1) checkpoint response. Analysis of cytotoxicity demonstrated that 1.5 Gy IR inactivated colony formation by 40-45 percent in three fibroblast lines.

Seven subjects performed the various water-use activities in two residences served by water utilities with relatively high and moderate total THM levels. Water, indoor air, blood, and exhaled-breath samples were collected during each exposure session for each activity, in accordance with a strict, well-defined protocol. In the case of bromodichloromethane (BDCM), only bathing yielded a significantly higher air level in relation to the preexposure concentration. For BDCM significant correlations were obtained for blood and air, and blood and water from showering. Neither dibromochloromethane nor bromoform gave measurable breath concentrations for any of the activities investigated because of their much lower tap-water concentrations.

Peritoneal injection of Pb alone or a low dose of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) did not affect serum TNF- alpha or liver functions in A/J mice. Coexposure to these noneffective doses of Pb plus LPS (Pb+LPS) strongly induced TNF- alpha expression and resulted in profound liver injury. It was observed that the direct inhibition of TNF- alpha or functional inactivation of monocytes/macrophages significantly decreased the level of Pb+LPS-induced serum TNF- alpha and concurrently ameliorated liver injury. It was found that the monocytes/macrophages were the cells primarily responsible for producing, through the PKC/MAPK pathway, the excess Pb-increased/LPS-induced TNF- alpha that caused liver injury.

Longitudinal follow-up study was carried out, beginning at birth, of 332 children born in Prince Edward Island, Canada. Five-day averaged air endotoxin in the homes of children, whose parents provided information by daily symptom diaries and twice-monthly telephone contact for up to 2 years, was measured. It was observed that doubling of the air endotoxin concentration was associated with an increase of 0.32 illness episodes per year, adjusted for age, year of study, breast-feeding, environmental tobacco smoke, child care attendance, indoor temperature, and income. Airborne endotoxin appeared to be risk factor for clinically symptomatic respiratory illnesses during the first 2 years of life independent of indoor fungus.

The objectives were to evaluate associations between ambient fine particles and HRV for sensitive individuals and examine whether these associations differed for individuals with preexisting pulmonary disease compared with those with cardiovascular disease. HRV, baseline pulmonary function, and medication data were collected for each participant on 7 days in fall 1999 and/or spring 2000. It was observed that ambient air had opposing effects on HRV in COPD and MI participants, resulting in no significant effect of ambient pollution on HRV in the entire population for 1-, 4-, or 24-hr moving average.

Hatchling medaka was subjected in a 2-week flow-through immersion exposure to an estrogen mimic and to pharmaceutical and environmental aromatase inhibitors alone and in combination. It was observed that fadrozole (FAD) and tributyltin (TBT) inhibited aromatase activity in o,p'-DDT-treated fish but did not prevent feminization, indicating that increased brain aromatase activity was not critical to EDC-induced male-to-female sex inversion. The observation that estradiol biosynthesis inhibitors did not block the effect of the xenoestrogen suggested that in the environment, exposure to seemingly antagonistic EDCs did not necessarily lessen the harmful impacts of these compounds.

EBC samples were collected from 24 chrome-plating workers employed in a chrome-plating plant both before and after the Friday work shift and before the work shift on the following Monday. Cr-EBC levels increased from the beginning to the end of Friday but were considerably lower on Monday morning. Cr-EBC levels correlated with those of H sub(2)O sub(2)-EBC and malondialdehyde (MDA)-EBC, as well as with urinary Cr levels. The results demonstrated that EBC was a suitable matrix that could be used to investigate both Cr levels and biomarkers of free radical production sampling the epithelial-lining fluid of workers exposed to Cr(VI).

When coadministered to rats that were receiving DMSA for treatment of Pb intoxication, monensin significantly increased the amount of Pb removed from femur, brain and heart. It showed a tendency to increase Pb removal from liver and kidney but had no effect of this type on skeletal muscle. It was observed that the monensin may act by contransporting Pb super(2+) and OH super(-) ions out of cells, in exchange for external sodium ions. It was found that the monensin might be useful for the treatment of Pb intoxication when applied in combination with hydrophilic Pb super(2+) chelators.

The GM of the chlorzoxazone (CHZ) metabolic ratio was 0.33, with 40% of the subjects having ratios below the GM. The average CYP2EI mRNA level in peripheral lymphocytes was 1.07, and CYP2EI mRNA levels within subjects correlated with the toluene exposure ratio.

It is estimated that 11% of U.S. living room floors and 13% of kitchen floors exhibit elevated concentrations relative to a 2:0-U/g threshold previously established as related to allergic sensitization. Elevated cockroach allergen levels are most prevalent in high-rise apartments, urban settings, pre-1940 constructions, and households with incomes 2.0 U/g are detected on the living room floors of 7% of households with annual incomes > $60,000. The estimated prevalence of detectable Bla g 1 concentrations in 63% of homes is consistent in a regional sample of childcare facilities. The results may help clinicians to assess whether a patient is likely to be exposed and suggest measures to reduce the exposure.

The objective was to investigate whether infants' length of gestation, birth weight, and crown-heel length were associated with maternal serum levels of 11 different organochlorine pesticides. It was observed that there were no adverse associations between maternal serum organochlorine levels and birth weight or crown-heel length. The mean duration of gestation was 38.9 plus or minus 1.5 weeks, the mean birth weight was 3477.0 plus or minus 496.4 g, and the mean crown-heel length was 50.4 plus or minus 2.5 cm. There was decreased length of gestation with increasing levels of lipid-adjusted hexachlorobenzene (HCB). There were no reductions in gestational duration associated with any of the other organochlorine pesticides.

Existing approaches to this issue have not been able to resolve a maladaptive stand-off between those emphasizing a 'polluter pays' approach that imposes costs on resource users and a 'beneficiary pays' approach which may privilege an unsustainable status quo. This paper outlines 'the catchment care principle' advocated by the Wentworth Group [Wentworth Group, 2002. A New Model for Landscape Conservation in NSW. Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists Report to Premier Carr. WWF, Sydney, February, 2002. -www.wwf.org.au>], which states 'that individual resource managers have an obligation to avoid land or natural resource management practices that harm the long-term interests of resource users as a whole'. The principle is interpreted as implying that resource management practices should not damage ecosystem integrity, while accepting that significant ecosystem modification might be consistent with maintaining a healthy working landscape. The paper also argues that the 'catchment care' principle offers a principle-based approach that encourages burden sharing rather than a winner takes all political game, and is likely to enhance the ability of societies to craft constructive policy responses to some of our most difficult environmental challenges. In addition to encouraging more adaptive governance and the protection of ecosystem integrity, the paper argues that the application of the catchment care principle provides a middle ground anchoring point for the political negotiation of policy changes. This is likely to encourage more socially efficient outcomes by reducing incentives to invest in economically unproductive lobbying activity and by encouraging political outcomes that diverge less from underlying social preferences.

An existing approach to predicting the distribution of salinity, fuzzy landscape analysis GIS (FLAG), developed by Roberts et al. (1997) is implemented. An attempt is made to optimize the predictive power of FLAG through the inclusion of geological and vegetation data. As FLAG models salinity distribution within the framework of fuzzy logic, results from this investigation are compared with the outputs of a predictive model of salinity based on probability theory. The attempt to optimize FLAG was not as successful as expected. Of the FLAG based predictions, the model derived from fuzzy discharge indices (CC) produced the most accurate result. Of the modified FLAG models, FLAG_VEG (that incorporates vegetation data) produced the best result. The prediction of areas at risk of salinity derived from the probabilistic model presented similar accuracy when validated against ground truth data used to validate the results of this research. The comparison of CC and FLAG_VEG with the probability-based prediction model of salinity indicated that the differences between them were not significant at a 95% confidence level, with the fuzzy logic based models outperforming the probabilistic model in steeper terrain.

To determine the immunogenicity of reduced doses, studies were first carried out in children, 2-12 years of age (n = 60). The full, half or a quarter doses of the vaccine were comparable in immunogenicity with similar frequency of responses seen to the different antigens (P = NS). Following this result, a pilot study carried out in infants, 6-17 months of age (n = 50), showed that the frequency of episodes of vomiting was lowest when a quarter of the full dose was used. The infants however showed comparable immune responses to the half and quarter dose of vaccine that was tested (P = NS). Based on these results in the infants, a randomized double blind placebo-controlled Phase II study was carried out in 158 children, 6-17 months of age, where a quarter dose of the ETEC vaccine was tested. Adverse events of mild vomiting were seen in only 4% of vaccinees and in 2.5% of placebo recipients. The IgA-antibody secreting cell (ASC) responses to CFA/I (GM: 28.1 ASC/10 super(7) PBMC) and BS (GM: 55.7 ASC/10 super(7) PBMC) were elevated compared to placebo recipients (CFA/I-2.0; BS-4.8 ASC/10 super(7) PBMC) (P = 0.01 to -0.001). The plasma-IgA antibody titers in vaccinees were also significantly elevated to CFA/I (GM-93.00), CS1 (GM-62.0), CS2 (GM-55.0), CS4 (GM-66.0) and BS (1057.0) compared to preimmune levels or responses or levels in placebo recipients (P <= 0.05-0.001). This study thus demonstrates that reduced doses of the ETEC vaccine is immunogenic in children and infants as well as safe in infants down to 6 months of age.

These results demonstrated that the cause of post-implantation lethality of Ayu8108 super(g) super(e) super(o) super(/) super(g) super(e) super(o) homozygous embryos was impaired expression of the Kpnb1 gene, indicating indispensable roles of Imp beta 1 in early development of mice.

AN - 70195017; 16143340 AB - MCM-22 was employed as an effective adsorbent for removal of basic dyes including methylene blue, crystal violet, and rhodamine B from aqueous solution. The adsorption kinetics and isotherms were investigated. The adsorption capacity of MCM-22 for three dyes follows an order of MB > CV approximately RB. Kinetic studies indicate that the adsorption follows the pseudo second-order kinetics and the adsorption is a two-step diffusion process with film diffusion dominating the process. The adsorption isotherm can be well fitted by both the Langmuir and the Freundlich models. Thermodynamic calculations suggest that the adsorption of basic dyes on MCM-22 is an endothermic reaction.

AN - 67705709; 16507079 AB - Prolonged exposure to cold results in early flowering in Arabidopsis winter annual ecotypes, with longer exposures resulting in a greater promotion of flowering than shorter exposures. The promotion of flowering is mediated through an epigenetic down-regulation of the floral repressor FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC). We present results that provide an insight into the quantitative regulation of FLC by vernalization. Analysis of the effect of seed or plant cold treatment on FLC expression indicates that the time-dependent nature of vernalization on FLC expression is mediated through the extent of the initial repression of FLC and not by affecting the ability to maintain the repressed state. In the over-expression mutant flc-11, the time-dependent repression of FLC correlates with the proportional deacetylation of histone H3. Our results indicate that sequences within intron 1 and the activities of both VERNALIZATION1 (VRN1) and VERNALIZATION2 (VRN2) are required for efficient establishment of FLC repression; however, VRN1 and VRN2 are not required for maintenance of the repressed state during growth after the cold exposure. SUPPRESSOR OF OVER-EXPRESSION OF CO 1 (SOC1), a downstream target of FLC, is quantitatively induced by vernalization in a reciprocal manner to FLC. In addition, we show that SOC1 undergoes an acute induction by both short and long cold exposures.

This is partly because of the difficulty of defining basic terms and measuring results in meaningful ways. Using focus group data, this article explores how senior federal managers perceive campaign bureaucracy bashing and assess its consequences. The participants perceive that candidate-based bashing affects federal management on two levels: one emotional, the other programmatic. The emotional impact is pronounced, producing frustration and hostility from senior managers toward political candidates, political appointees, and the media. Senior managers report that bashing adversely affects policy implementation through low morale, poor recruitment, and training and by fostering an environment of distrust toward bureaucracy. Grounded in a diverse literature relating to public administration, the presidency, campaigns and elections, and political communication, this inquiry finds that senior managers confirm many of the speculations these works raise about how bashing affects public employees and public policy.

AN - 57638789; 419367 AB - The NISO/EDItEUR Joint Working Party for the Exchange of Serials Subscription Information (JWP) has defined three different ONIX (Online Information Exchange) for Serials formats: Serials Products and Subscriptions (SPS), Serials Online Holdings (SOH), and Serials Release Notice (SRN). The new formats are designed to provide information about the availability of serial publications more efficiently than manual update systems. Publishers and middle agents, as well as libraries, have many potential gains to be derived from early adoption and use of the formats as soon as they appear in their final form.

AN - 57597460; 418727 AB - Traditionally, standard catalog records have provided bibliographic data that mostly address the basic features of library resources. At the same time, catalogs have offered access to these records through a limited array of names, titles, series, subject headings, class numbers, and a relatively small number of keywords contained within descriptions. Today's catalog users expect access to information well beyond what can be offered by traditional approaches to bibliographic description and access. By pursuing a suite of projects, the Library of Congress (LC) has responded to the challenge of enticing patrons to continue to include the online catalog among the tools they use for information retrieval. Drawing extensively on the power of automation, staff of LC's Bibliographic Enrichment Advisory Team (BEAT) have created and implemented a variety of initiatives to link researchers, catalogs, and Web resources; increase the content of the catalog record; and link the catalog to electronic resources. BEAT's ongoing work demonstrates how, in the electronic era, it is possible to provide new and improved ways to capitalize on traditional services in the digital age. This paper will illustrate these points by focusing on BEAT's tables of contents projects to demonstrate how library automation can make significant bibliographic enhancement efforts quick, easy, and affordable to achieve.

Much debate has occurred over whether this reported decline has actually occurred and what factors contribute to it. However, geographical patterns reflecting earlier developmental onset in some human populations suggest environmental factors influence this phenomenon. These factors include interactions between genetic makeup, nutrition, and possible cumulative exposure to estrogens, both endogenous as well as environmental beginning during in utero development. We examined the onset of breast development in a group of peripubertal girls from the Yaqui Valley of Sonora, Mexico. We observed that girls from valley towns, areas using modern agricultural practices, exhibited larger breast fields than those of girls living in the foothills who exhibited similar stature [e.g., weight, height, body mass index (BMI)], and genetic background. Further, girls from valley towns displayed a poorly defined relationship between breast size and mammary gland development, whereas girls from the Yaqui foothills, where traditional ranching occurs, show a robust positive relationship between breast size and mammary size. The differences noted were obtained by a medically based exam involving morphometric analysis and palpation of tissues, in contrast to visual staging alone. In fact, use of the Tanner scale, involving visual staging of breast development for puberty, detected no differences between the study populations. Mammary tissue, determined by palpation, was absent in 18.5% of the girls living in agricultural areas, although palpable breast adipose tissue was present. No relationship was seen between mammary diameter and weight or BMI in either population. These data suggest that future in-depth studies examining mammary tissue growth and fat deposition in breast tissue are required if we are to understand environmental influences on these phenomena.

Although the main objective of occupational reproductive researchers and clinicians is to prevent recognized adverse reproductive outcomes, research has expanded to include a broader spectrum of chronic health outcomes potentially affected by reproductive toxicants. To aid in achieving these goals, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, along with its university, federal, industry, and labor colleagues, formed the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) in 1996. NORA resulted in 21 research teams, including the Reproductive Health Research Team (RHRT). In this report, we describe progress made in the last decade by the RHRT and by others in this field, including prioritizing reproductive toxicants for further study; facilitating collaboration among epidemiologists, biologists, and toxicologists; promoting quality exposure assessment in field studies and surveillance; and encouraging the design and conduct of priority occupational reproductive studies. We also describe new tools for screening reproductive toxicants and for analyzing mode of action. We recommend considering outcomes such as menopause and latent adverse effects for further study, as well as including exposures such as shift work and nanomaterials. We describe a broad domain of scholarship activities where a cohesive system of organized and aligned work activities integrates 10 years of team efforts and provides guidance for future research.

The workshop was hosted by the European Centre for the Validation of Alternative Methods (ECVAM) and organized jointly by ECVAM, the U.S. Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Validation of Alternative Methods (ICCVAM), and the National Toxicology Program (NTP) Interagency Center for the Evaluation of Alternative Toxicological Methods (NICEATM). The primary aim of the workshop was for participants to discuss and define principles applicable to the validation of toxicogenomics platforms as well as validation of specific toxicologic test methods that incorporate toxicogenomics technologies. The workshop was viewed as an opportunity for initiating a dialogue between technologic experts, regulators, and the principal validation bodies and for identifying those factors to which the validation process would be applicable. It was felt that to do so now, as the technology is evolving and associated challenges are identified, would be a basis for the future validation of the technology when it reaches the appropriate stage. Because of the complexity of the issue, different aspects of the validation of toxicogenomics-based test methods were covered. The three focus areas include a) biologic validation of toxicogenomics-based test methods for regulatory decision making, b) technical and bioinformatics aspects related to validation, and c) validation issues as they relate to regulatory acceptance and use of toxicogenomics-based test methods. In this report we summarize the discussions and describe in detail the recommendations for future direction and priorities.

As a result of this ongoing disease outbreak, management of mosquitoes that vector WNV throughout the United States and Canada has necessitated using insecticides in areas where they traditionally have not been used or have been used less frequently. This has resulted in concerns by the public about the risks from insecticide use. The objective of this study was to use reasonable worst-case risk assessment methodologies to evaluate human-health risks for WNV and the insecticides most commonly used to control adult mosquitoes. We evaluated documented health effects from WNV infection and determined potential population risks based on reported frequencies. We determined potential acute (1-day) and subchronic (90-day) multiroute residential exposures from each insecticide for several human subgroups during a WNV disease outbreak scenario. We then compared potential insecticide exposures to toxicologic and regulatory effect levels. Risk quotients (RQs, the ratio of exposure to toxicologic effect) were 1.0 for all subgroups. Acute RQs ranged from 0.0004 to 0.4726, and subchronic RQs ranged from 0.00014 to 0.2074. Results from our risk assessment and the current weight of scientific evidence indicate that human-health risks from residential exposure to mosquito insecticides are low and are not likely to exceed levels of concern. Further, our results indicate that, based on human-health criteria, the risks from WNV exceed the risks from exposure to mosquito insecticides.

In India, it has been reported that nearly half of the children have elevated blood lead levels (BLLs). However, little is known about risk factors for these elevated BLLs. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of data from the Indian National Family Health Survey, a population-based study conducted in 1998-1999. We assessed potential correlates of BLLs in 1,081 children who were 3 years of age and living in Mumbai or Delhi, India. We examined factors such as age, sex, religion, caste, mother's education, standard of living, breast-feeding, and weight/height percentile. RESULTS: Most children (76%) had BLLs between 5 and 20 microg/dL. Age, standard of living, weight/height percentile, and total number of children ever born to the mother were significantly associated with BLLs (log transformed) in multivariate regression models. Compared with children or = 3 months of age, children 4-11 and 12-23 month of age had 84 and 146% higher BLLs, respectively (p 0.001). A low standard of living correlated with a 32.3% increase in BLLs (p = 0.02). Children greater than the 95th percentile for their weight/height had 31% (p = 0.03) higher BLLs compared with those who were below the 5th percentile for their weight/height. CONCLUSIONS: Our study found various factors correlated with elevated BLLs in children. The correlation between greater than the 95th percentile weight/height and higher BLL may reflect an impact of lead exposure on body habitus. Our study may help in targeting susceptible populations and identifying correctable factors for elevated BLLs in Mumbai and Delhi.

This is particularly true in the field of environmental health science. As the field has evolved, we've come to realize that the environment permeates nearly every question of human disease and that various forms of environmental stress can be used to understand many of the secrets of human biology. And the challenges that lie before us in solving the mysteries of these relationships will require the combined knowledge of a diverse array of scientific thinkers. For this and other reasons, the time is ripe for the field of environmental health science to consider the benefits of establishing a broad, vigorous, engaged scientific society.

So far, the most compelling evidence linking epigenetic processes with disease has been found for cancer, but many other illnesses also have some level of evidence tying them to epigenetic mechanisms. Investment in epigenetics research has traditionally lagged behind that for traditional genetics research, but new initiatives, including large-scale research projects and a new professional society, are seeking to reverse this.

To explore further the molecular mechanisms of transplacental arsenic hepatocarcinogenesis, we conducted a second arsenic transplacental carcinogenesis study and used a genomewide microarray to profile arsenic-induced aberrant gene expression more extensively. Briefly, pregnant C3H mice were given drinking water containing 85 ppm arsenic as sodium arsenite or unaltered water from days 8 to 18 of gestation. The incidence of HCC in adult male offspring was increased 4-fold and tumor multiplicity 3-fold after transplacental arsenic exposure. Samples of normal liver and liver tumors were taken at autopsy for genomic analysis. Arsenic exposure in utero resulted in significant alterations (p 0.001) in the expression of 2,010 genes in arsenic-exposed liver samples and in the expression of 2,540 genes in arsenic-induced HCC. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis revealed that significant alterations in gene expression occurred in a number of biological networks, and Myc plays a critical role in one of the primary networks. Real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis of selected genes/proteins showed 90% concordance. Arsenic-altered gene expression included activation of oncogenes and HCC biomarkers, and increased expression of cell proliferation-related genes, stress proteins, and insulin-like growth factors and genes involved in cell-cell communications. Liver feminization was evidenced by increased expression of estrogen-linked genes and altered expression of genes that encode gender-related metabolic enzymes. These novel findings are in agreement with the biology and histology of arsenic-induced HCC, thereby indicating that multiple genetic events are associated with transplacental arsenic hepatocarcinogenesis.

In this article, we present the results of a comprehensive assessment of solid fuel use, conducted in 2005, and discuss the implications of our findings in the context of achieving the MDGs. METHODS: For 93 countries, solid fuel use data were compiled from recent national censuses or household surveys. For the 36 countries where no data were available, the indicator was modeled. For 52 upper-middle or high-income countries, the indicator was assumed to be 5%. RESULTS: According to our assessment, 52% of the world's population uses solid fuels. This percentage varies widely between countries and regions, ranging from 77%, 74%, and 74% in Sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Western Pacific Region, respectively, to 36% in the Eastern Mediterranean Region, 16% in Latin America and the Caribbean and in Central and Eastern Europe. In most industrialized countries, solid fuel use falls to the 5% mark. DISCUSSION: Although the "percentage of population using solid fuels" is classified as an indicator to measure progress towards MDG 7, reliance on traditional household energy practices has distinct implications for most of the MDGs, notably MDGs 4 and 5. There is an urgent need for development agendas to recognize the fundamental role that household energy plays in improving child and maternal health and fostering economic and social development.

We have previously shown that acute pulmonary exposure to PM impairs or abolishes endothelium-dependent arteriolar dilation in the rat spinotrapezius muscle. The purpose of this study was to further characterize the effect of pulmonary PM exposure on systemic microvascular function and to identify local inflammatory events that may contribute to these effects. Rats were intratracheally instilled with residual oil fly ash (ROFA) or titanium dioxide at 0.1 or 0.25 mg/rat 24 hr before measurement of pulmonary and systemic microvascular responses. In vivo microscopy of the spinotrapezius muscle was used to study systemic arteriolar responses to intraluminal infusion of the Ca2+ ionophore A23187 or iontophoretic abluminal application of the adrenergic agonist phenylephrine (PHE). Leukocyte rolling and adhesion were quantified in venules paired with the studied arterioles. Histologic techniques were used to assess pulmonary inflammation, characterize the adherence of leukocytes to systemic venules, verify the presence of myeloperoxidase (MPO) in the systemic microvascular wall, and quantify systemic microvascular oxidative stress. In the lungs of rats exposed to ROFA or TiO2, changes in some bronchoalveolar lavage markers of inflammation were noted, but an indication of cellular damage was not found. In rats exposed to 0.1 mg ROFA, focal alveolitis was evident, particularly at sites of particle deposition. Exposure to either ROFA or TiO2 caused a dose-dependent impairment of endothelium-dependent arteriolar dilation. However, exposure to these particles did not affect microvascular constriction in response to PHE. ROFA and TiO2 exposure significantly increased leukocyte rolling and adhesion in paired venules, and these cells were positively identified as polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNLs). In ROFA- and TiO2-exposed rats, MPO was found in PMNLs adhering to the systemic microvascular wall. Evidence suggests that some of this MPO had been deposited in the microvascular wall. There was also evidence for oxidative stress in the microvascular wall. These results indicate that after PM exposure, the impairment of endothelium-dependent dilation in the systemic microcirculation coincides with PMNL adhesion, MPO deposition, and local oxidative stress. Collectively, these microvascular observations are consistent with events that contribute to the disruption of the control of peripheral resistance and/or cardiac dysfunction associated with PM exposure.

We examined associations of blood lead and urinary cadmium levels with oxidative stress markers of serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), vitamin C, carotenoids, and vitamin E among 10,098 adult participants in the third U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. After adjusting for race, sex, and age (plus serum total cholesterol in the case of serum carotenoids and vitamin E), blood lead and urinary cadmium levels both showed graded associations, positive with serum GGT and inverse with serum vitamin C, carotenoids, and vitamin E (p for trend 0.01, respectively). These associations were consistently observed among most subgroups: non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, men, women, all age groups, nondrinkers, drinkers, nonsmokers, ex-smokers, current smokers, and body mass index ( 25, 25-29.9, and or = 30). The strong association of blood lead and urinary cadmium levels with oxidative stress markers in this population suggests that oxidative stress should be considered in the pathogenesis of lead- and cadmium-related diseases even among people with low environmental exposure to lead and cadmium.

The workshop presented and discussed the findings of an interlaboratory trial that compared methods for genotyping Cryptosporidium oocysts isolated from feces. The primary goal of the trial and workshop was to assess the utility of current Cryptosporidium genotyping methods for determining the public health significance of oocysts isolated from feces in potable-water-supply watersheds. An expert panel of 16 watershed managers, public health practitioners, and molecular parasitologists was assembled for the workshop. A subordinate goal of the workshop was to educate watershed management and public health practitioners. An open invitation was extended to all conference delegates to attend the workshop, which drew approximately 50 interested delegates. In this report we summarize the peer consensus emerging from the workshop. Recommendations on the use of current methods by watershed managers and public health practitioners were proposed. Importantly, all the methods that were reported in the trial were mutually supporting and found to be valuable and worthy of further utility and development. Where there were choices as to which method to apply, the small-subunit ribosomal RNA gene was considered to be the optimum genetic locus to target. The single-strand conformational polymorphism method was considered potentially the most valuable for discriminating to the subtype level and where a large number of samples were to be analyzed. A research agenda for protozoan geneticists was proposed to improve the utility of methods into the future. Standardization of methods and nomenclature was promoted.

Cell viability and cytokine secretion responses were measured at 24 hr. Each dust sample is a complex mixture containing particles from different minerals mixed with biogenic and anthropogenic materials. We determined the particle chemical composition using methods based on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Speciation Trends Network (STN) and the National Park Service Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments (IMPROVE) network. The functionally defined carbon fractions reported by the ambient monitoring networks have not been widely used for toxicology studies. The soil-derived PM2.5 from different sites showed a wide range of potency for inducing the release of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-8 in vitro. Univariate regression and multivariate redundancy analysis were used to test for correlation of viability and cytokine release with the concentrations of 40 elements, 7 ions, and 8 carbon fractions. The particles showed positive correlation between IL-6 release and the elemental and pyrolyzable carbon fractions, and the strongest correlation involving crustal elements was between IL-6 release and the aluminum:silicon ratio. The observed correlations between low-volatility organic components of soil- and road-derived dusts and the cytokine release by BEAS-2B cells are relevant for investigation of mechanisms linking specific air pollution particle types with the initiating events leading to airway inflammation in sensitive populations.

They include seasonal fields of temperature, salinity, mixed layer depth, nitrate, phosphate and silicate from the CSIRO Atlas of Regional Seas (CARS), as well as estimates of chlorophyll from SeaWiFS ocean colour data, and a range of supplementary information taken from published studies. Seasonal chlorophyll cycles were interpreted within the context of variability in nutrient concentrations and mixed layer depths. This interpretation included a biogeographical description, which was compared with related regional and global products. Such descriptions provide a baseline for future investigations of interannual variability and long-term trends in mixed layer properties, as well as contributing to the development of spatial frameworks for management of the region's resources.

FtsH degrades misassembled membrane proteins and a subset of cytoplasmic regulatory proteins. It has been proposed that ATP-dependent proteases unfold substrate proteins and initiate a processive proteolysis from either terminus of the substrate polypeptide. We have found that FtsH degrades E. coli apo-flavodoxin (apo-Fld) but not holo-Fld containing non-covalently bound flavin mononucleotide (FMN). A mutant Fld carrying a substitution of Tyr94 to Asp (Fld super(YD)) with a lower affinity for FMN was efficiently degraded by FtsH. To elucidate the directionality of Fld super(YD) degradation by FtsH, we constructed several Fld super(YD) fusion proteins with glutathione S-transferase (GST), green fluorescent protein (GFP), or both GST and GFP. It was found that FtsH was able to initiate degradation of the Fld super(YD) moiety even when it was sandwiched by GST and GFP. Evidence indicated that FtsH can initiate proteolysis of GST-Fld super(YD)-GFP from the Fld super(YD) moiety by translocating an internal loop to the protease chamber in an ATP-dependent manner and that, at least, the proteolysis in the C to N direction proceeds processively.

Studies aimed at elaborating oceanographic mechanisms within the canyon were conducted between 2002 and 2005. Strings of temperature loggers set around the canyon rim were used to examine the water column's response to climatological forcing, current meanders, upwelling and downwelling. Six moorings were positioned on a plateau in 500 m of water on the northern canyon rim, and one was positioned at the canyon head. Loggers were positioned to sample the whole water column, including the Leeuwin Current and Undercurrent. Moorings revealed spatial temperature differences between the plateau and canyon head. Observed temperature features ranged temporally from seasonal to <1 day. Seasonal changes in water temperature agreed with published Leeuwin Current studies: for example, mixed layer and stratification changes were apparent. Other observed temperature changes were related to Leeuwin Current movement and wind forcing such as the summer sea breeze and winter storms. Storms induced mixing, re-stratification, downwelling and upwelling as the wind changed direction and strength. Changes lasting a day were associated with diurnal sea breezes, internal waves and possibly solitary waves. Bottom loggers indicated that upwelling and downwelling events each occurred up to 20% of the time.

Regional species richness was defined as the total number of species recorded at all reference sites within a basin, and LSR as the total numbers of species recorded at a single reference site. Records were obtained from bank and channel habitats and analysed separately. Regressions between LSR and RSR indicated a proportional or linear relationship in both habitats. This applied to the whole data set and to subgroups representing Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera (EPT as a group), Hemiptera, Diptera, and Coleoptera. All data sets thus represented communities in which no upper limit to LSR was observed. Multiple regressions between LSR and RSR, number of samples per site (N) and seven physical variables showed that RSR and N were nearly always significantly related to LSR. Few of the physical variables were significant except conductivity (for EPT and Coleoptera). Multidimensional scaling ordinations revealed an east-west gradient in compositional similarity of invertebrates, upon which variations in RSR had a major influence. Investigation of factors that regulate RSR will thus be necessary for a broad scale view of what regulates LSR.

The potential benefits of off-site production (OSP) are commonly cited when justifying an OSP approach, yet holistic and methodical assessments of the applicability and overall benefit of these solutions, to a particular project, have been found to be deficient. Common methods of evaluation simply take material, labour and transportation costs into account when comparing various options, often disregarding other cost-related items such as site facilities, crane use and rectification of works. These cost factors are usually buried within the nebulous preliminaries figure, with little reference to the building approach taken. Further, softer issues such as health and safety, effects on management and process benefits are either implicit or disregarded within these comparison exercises. Yet it is demonstrated that these issues are some of the most significant benefits of OSP. A series of case studies demonstrated that evaluation focus is almost solely on direct material and labour costs of components, without explicit regard for the wider cost or soft issue implications of OSP on a project. The paper argues that until evaluation is more holistic and value-based rather than cost-based, OSP uptake in construction will be slow.

Studies conducted in a range of other aquatic systems have indicated that there is a high degree of redundant information conveyed at the species level, in comparison to higher taxonomic levels. This has important implications for the design of many ecological studies in terms of the allocation of resources. This study examined the impact of taxonomic aggregation on the detection of multivariate patterns in faunal and macroalgal assemblage structure amongst temperate subtidal reef communities in southern Australia. I considered the level at which taxonomic aggregation led to the loss of resolution in multivariate patterns, impairing conclusions regarding assemblage patterns at the species level. This study found that the impact of taxonomic aggregation varied for faunal and macroalgal assemblages. While family-level identifications were sufficient to discriminate faunal assemblages to a degree comparable to species-level identifications, aggregation of macroalgal data to higher taxonomic levels was substantially less informative. Thus, whereas significant cost-savings can be achieved by identifying invertebrate taxa to family with little or no loss of information, the same is not true for macroalgal assemblages. Differences between faunal and algal assemblages were attributable in part to the distribution of species within higher taxa. In particular, the aggregation of macroalgal species belonging to the order Fucales (e.g. Sargassum, Cystophora etc.) resulted in impaired representation of assemblages in multivariate patterns, as a consequence of the diversity, dominance and wide distribution of this order within benthic macroalgal groups of southern Australia.

AN - 17266494; 7002046 AB - This study reports on the number of nests and colonies of Great Egret (Ardea alba), Little Egret (Egretta garzetta), Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis), Chinese Pond Heron (Ardeola bacchus) and Black-crowned Night Heron (Nycticorax nycticorax) in Hong Kong between 1989 and 2004. Little Egret, Chinese Pond Heron and Black-crowned Night Heron were the dominant local breeding ardeids. Regression analysis of the number of nests and colonies with year revealed that the number of nests of Great Egret, and the number of colonies of all ardeids, except the Black-crowned Night Heron, showed a significant increase. The number of nests of Great Egret increased from no nests in 1989 to 85 in 2004. The other species fluctuated from 100 to 300 nests each, except for Cattle Egret which stayed steady at about 100 nests. Regression analysis of the relationship between climate variables and residuals, after removing the effect of any long-term trend, shows that there was a significant positive association of the number of nests of Cattle Egret with total rainfall during breeding. The increase in numbers of colonies, but not the number of nests, indicated that previously large colonies had split into smaller ones, presumably due to loss of feeding and nesting habitats. The El Nino events in 1991 and 1997, but not in 1994, coincided with declines in nests. The magnitude of El Nino may be related to the impact on nesting ardeids, but other local confounding variables, in particular feeding habitat availability, should also be considered. The number of Great Egret nests in Hong Kong is of regional importance, as it is about half the known nests in southern China. It is recommended that monitoring of breeding success should be initiated in major colonies, as well as an integrated wetland monitoring for Deep Bay and Starling Inlet.

It was found that the concentrations of these gases are usually high in the morning due to a temperature inversion in the boundary layer. The average concentrations obtained from the observations are much higher than those used in the McClatchey reference atmosphere. The radiative impacts of these gases are calculated using a line-by-line radiative transfer model. The results show that the radiative forcing at the surface due to SO sub(2) is 0.0576 W m super(-2) and that due to NO sub(X) is 0.0032 W m super(-2). These figures are almost compatible with that due to CFC11.

Salmonella mutants with the altered sigma factor RpoS ( sigma super(S)) are less virulent and are susceptible to various stresses. This study investigated the role of the rpoS gene of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi in NO-dependent host defense in vitro and in vivo. Wild-type mice and mice deficient in inducible NO synthase (iNOS) were infected intraperitoneally or orally with serovar Typhi strains. iNOS-deficient mice were more susceptible to infection by both wild-type and rpoS mutant strains of serovar Typhi and showed extensive apoptotic liver damage compared with wild-type mice. Intracellular killing of Salmonella was analyzed with RAW 264 macrophage-like cells and primary peritoneal macrophages from wild-type and iNOS-deficient mice after cells were infected with the serovar Typhi parent or rpoS mutant strain. The rpoS mutant was more susceptible to killing by macrophages than was the wild-type strain. Also, the wild-type strain produced more extensive apoptotic changes in macrophages than did rpoS mutant. These effects were nullified in RAW 264 cells treated with an NOS inhibitor and in iNOS-deficient primary macrophages. Peroxynitrite susceptibility assays of these strains were also performed. The rpoS mutant Typhi strain was more sensitive to in vitro peroxynitrite treatment than was the parent strain. Together these data show that NO has a significant host defense function during serovar Typhi infection, and that Salmonella RpoS, because it reacts to the presence of NO or its reactive derivatives, is thought to have a role in the pathogenicity of serovar Typhi.

Algal growth rate was highest at 23 degree C. In the light trial, the algal growth rate was greatest in cultures maintained at 30 and 60 W m super(-2). Growth was greatest at a salinity of 0.15 M NaCl. The shortest generation time in the temperature, light, and salinity trials were 3.2 days at 23 degree C, 2.5 days at 60 W m super(-2), and 2.0 days in 0.15 M NaCl. The total lipid content in the alga peaked at 23 degree C, at 60 W m super(-2), and in 0.15 M NaCl. Overall, the results indicate that the optimum culture conditions or this strain are at 23 degree C, 30-60 W m super(-2) and 0-0.15 M NaCl.

There is a need for systematic approaches to assessment of environmental factors most relevant to health, health outcomes most influenced by the environment, and the relationships between them, as well as for approaches to representing the results of such assessments in policy deliberations. A conceptual framework to depict relationships between environment and health with relevant types of data and information is developed. The measures are presented in three groups that reflect contaminants in the environment, contaminants in human tissues, and diseases and disorders. The measures present scientifically based representations of data understandable to stakeholders and policy makers that integrate key information from the health and environment sectors in a consistent format.

Water samples from 5,967 contiguous tube wells in a defined geographic area were tested using laboratory-based methods. Arsenic exposure data and demographic characteristics for the 65,876 users of the wells were also collected from the 5,967 respondents. Presence of awareness was significantly related to male sex, nonlabor head of household occupation, better housing and having had the well tested for the As concentration. The findings suggested that health education programs might need to target individuals with lower socioeconomic status and that well switching should be encouraged with more appropriate health education.

Six hundred cases and 600 controls were loosely matched on age and sex and were enrolled at Dhaka Community Hospital, Bangladesh, in 2001-2002. Diet, demographic data and water samples were collected. Water samples were analyzed for arsenic using inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy. It was found that betel nut usage was associated with a greater risk of skin lesions in a multivariate model. Bean intake at least 1 time/day was associated with increased odds of skin lesions. Clear support was not provided by the study results, for a protective effect of vegetable and overall protein consumption against the development of skin lesions.

The hands of each child were washed after play with 150 mL deionized water, which was collected in a bag and subsequently underwent analysis of Cr and 20 other elements, using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Total average Cr on the hands of 63 children who played in CCA playgrounds was 1,112 plus or minus 1,089 ng. Total average Cr on the hands of 63 children who played in non-CCA playgrounds was 652 plus or minus 586 ng. Cr levels were highly correlated to both Cu and As levels in CCA playgrounds. Principal-components analysis (PCA) indicated that Cr, Cu and As were more closely grouped together in CCA than in non-CCA playgrounds. The results suggested that the elevated levels of Cr and As on children's hands were due to direct contact with CCA wood.

Chemicals present in indoor air could react with one another, either in the gas phase or on surfaces, altering the concentrations of both reactants and products. Such chemistry was often the major source of free radicals and other short-lived reactive species in indoor environments. Objectives of the workshop included enhancing communications between researchers in indoor chemistry and health professionals, as well as defining a list of priority research needs related to the topic of the workshop. The ultimate challenges in the emerging field are defining exposures to the products of indoor chemistry and developing an understanding of the links between these exposures and various health outcomes.

Water quality data for water systems serving women's addresses during pregnancy or at time of delivery were assessed. The study observed the extent of exposure that should be considered while evaluating nitrate exposure and reproductive effects. It was revealed that spontaneous abortions might be a more sensitive indicator of adverse reproductive effects from relatively low levels of drinking water contamination. It was found that the states with large numbers of private wells where groundwater was vulnerable to contamination should be encouraged to increase monitoring or surveillance of the systems.

After exposure for 25 passages to iAs super(III), MMA super(III), or DMA super(III), significant compound-specific morphologic changes were observed. A set of 114 genes was differentially expressed in one or more sets of arsenical-treated cells compared with untreated controls. The expression of 11 genes was suppressed by all three arsenicals. The transcription of several suppressed genes, showed that epigenetic DNA methylation was probably involved in arsenical-induced gene expression, which was restored by 5-Aza-deoxycytidine. The data demonstrated that chronic exposure to iAs super(III), MMA super(III), or DMA super(III) has different epigenetic effects on urothelial cells and represses NF-kB activity.

APM was administrated with feed to 8-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats, at concentrations of 100,000, 50,000, 10,000, 2,000, 400, 80, or 0 ppm. The treatment lasted until natural death, at which time all decreased animals underwent complete necropsy. Histopathologic evaluation of all pathologic lesions and of all organs and tissues collected was routinely performed on each animal of all experimental groups. The results indicated that APM is a multipotential carcinogenic agent, even at a daily dose of 20 mg/kg body weight, much less than the current acceptable daily intake.

Blood samples for 11 volatile organic compounds (VOCs), 2 heavy metals (lead and mercury), 11 organochlorine (OC) pesticides or related compounds, and 30 polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners, were also analyzed. Longitudinal measurements indicated that between-child variance was greater than within-child variance for two VOC, for both heavy metals, for all detectable OC pesticides, and for 15 of the measured PCB congeners. The results demonstrated that cumulative exposures to multiple environmental carcinogens and neurotoxins could be comparatively high for children from a poor inner-city neighborhood.

Estimated cancer risks associated with ambient air toxics were highest in tracts located in metropolitan areas that were highly segregated. Disparities between racial/ethnic groups were also wider in more segregated metropolitan areas. Multivariate modeling showed that, after controlling for tract-level socioeconomic status (SES) measures, increasing segregation amplified the cancer risks associated with ambient air toxics for all racial groups combined. The results suggested that disparities associated with ambient air toxics are affected by segregation and that these exposures may have health significance for populations across racial lines.

By analyzing repeated semen samples collected from sperm donors the relationship between air pollutant levels and semen quality over a 2-year period in Los Angeles, California was assessed. A linear mixed-effects model was used to model average sperm concentration and total motile sperm count for the donation from each subject. Changes were analyzed in relationship to biologically relevant time points during spermatogenesis. Results found a significant negative correlation between ozone levels at 0-9, 10-14 and 70-90 days before donation and average sperm concentration, which was maintained after correction for donor's birth date, age at donation, temperature and seasonality.

The challenge is to manage the crop or improve its genetic makeup to: capture more of the water supply for use in transpiration; exchange transpired water for CO sub(2) more effectively in producing biomass; and convert more of the biomass into grain or other harvestable product. In the field, the upper limit of water productivity of well-managed disease-free water-limited cereal crops is typically 20kgha super(-) super(1)mm super(-) super(1) (grain yield per water used). If the productivity is markedly less than this, it is likely that major stresses other than water are at work, such as weeds, diseases, poor nutrition, or inhospitable soil. If so, the greatest advances will come from dealing with these first. When water is the predominant limitation, there is scope for improving overall water productivity by better matching the development of the crop to the pattern of water supply, thereby reducing evaporative and other losses and fostering a good balance of water-use before and after flowering, which is needed to give a large harvest index. There is also scope for developing genotypes that are able to maintain adequate floret fertility despite any transient severe water deficits during floral development. Marker-assisted selection has helped in controlling some root diseases that limit water uptake, and in maintaining fertility in water-stressed maize. Apart from herbicide-resistance in crops, which helps reduce competition for water by weeds, there are no genetic transformations in the immediate offing that are likely to improve water productivity greatly.

However, despite an extensive literature on plants' response to drought there are few documented examples where a physiological understanding of drought has identified traits that limit yield under drought and where these have been used in successful crop improvement programs to enhance crop yields. This paper selects seven examples where a physiological understanding has resulted in more precise targeting of genetic variation and has resulted in higher yielding or more productive germplasm or varieties. The underlying features of these successes are then examined to identify the elements of success that may be used to further enhance yield improvement in dry environments. The conclusions are that all of these traits directly or indirectly transfer their effects to yield over long time scales by increasing either water-use (amount and pattern), water-use efficiency or partitioning of more biomass to grain.

AN - 67815935; 16572791 AB - Particle emissions from twelve buses, operating alternately on low sulfur (LS; 500 ppm) and ultralow sulfur (ULS; 50 ppm) diesel fuel, were monitored. The buses were 1-19 years old and had no after-treatment devices fitted. Measurements were carried out at four steady-state operational modes on a chassis dynamometer using a mini dilution tunnel (PM mass measurement) and a Dekati ejector diluter as a secondary diluter (SMPS particle number). The mean particle number emission rate (s(-1)) of the buses, in the size range 8-400 nm, using ULS diesel was 31% to 59% lower than the rate using LS diesel in all four modes. The fractional reduction was highest in the newest buses and decreased with mileage upto about 500,000 km, after which no further decrease was apparent. However, the mean total suspended particle (TSP) mass emission rate did not show a systematic difference between the two fuel types. When the fuel was changed from LS to ULS diesel, the reduction in particle number was mainly in the nanoparticle size range. Over all operational modes, 58% of the particles were smaller than 50 nm with LS fuel as opposed to just 45% with ULS fuel, suggesting that sulfur in diesel fuel was playing a major role in the formation of nanoparticles. The greatest influence of the fuel sulfur content was observed at the highest engine load, where 74% of the particles were smaller than 50 nm with LS diesel compared to 43% with ULS diesel.

AN - 70686639; 16420500 AB - To investigate indoor environmental quality in classrooms, assessments were undertaken in a 'low allergen' school and three standard primary schools in Western Australia. Dust allergens, air pollutants and physical parameters were monitored in the four schools at four times (summer school term, autumn holiday, winter school term and winter holiday) in 2002. The levels of particulate matter (PM(10)) and volatile organic compounds were similar between the four primary schools. Although slightly decreased levels of dust-mite and cat allergens were observed in the 'low allergen' school, the reductions were not statistically significant and the allergen levels in all schools were much lower than the recommended sensitizing thresholds. However, significantly lower levels of relative humidity and formaldehyde level during summer-term were recorded in the 'low allergen' school. In conclusion, the evidence here suggests that the 'low allergen' school did not significantly improve the indoor environmental quality in classrooms. Practical Implications School is an important environment for children in terms of exposure to pollutants and allergens. By assessing the levels of key pollutants and allergens in a low allergen school and three standard primary schools in Western Australia, this study provides useful information for implementation of healthy building design that can improve the indoor environment in schools.

AN - 67707147; 16509322 AB - The work presented was conducted within the scope of a larger study investigating impacts of the Stuart Oil Shale project, a facility operating to the north of the industrial city of Gladstone, Australia. The aims of the investigations were threefold: (a) the identification of the plant signatures in terms of particle size distributions in the submicrometer range (13-830 nm) through stack measurements, (b) exploring the applicability of these signatures in tracing the source contributions at locations of interest, at a distance from the plant, and (c) assessing the contribution of the plant to the total particle number concentration at locations of interest. The stack measurements conducted for three different conditions of plant operation showed that the particle size distributions were bimodal with average modal count median diameters (CMDs) of 24 (SD 4) and 52 (SD 9) nm. The average of all the particle size distributions recorded within the plant sector at a site located 4.5 km from the plant, over the sampling period when the plant was operating, also showed a bimodal distribution. The modal CMDs in this case were 27 and 50 nm, similar to those at the stack. This bimodal size distribution is distinct from the size distribution of the most common ambient anthropogenic emission source, which is vehicle emissions, and can be considered as a signature of this source. The average contribution of the plant (for plant sector winds) was estimated to be (10.0 +/- 3.8) x 10(2) particles cm(-3) and constituted approximately a 50% increase overthe local particle ambient concentration for plant sector winds. This increase in particle number concentration compared to the local background concentration, while high compared to the clean environment concentration, is not significant when compared to concentrations generally encountered in the urban environment of Brisbane.

AN - 67636014; 16461722 AB - Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus are gram-negative bacteria that produce a range of proteins that are toxic to insects. We recently identified a novel 42-kDa protein from Xenorhabdus nematophila that was lethal to the larvae of insects such as Galleria mellonella and Helicoverpa armigera when it was injected at doses of 30 to 40 ng/g larvae. In the present work, the toxin gene txp40 was identified in another 59 strains of Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus, indicating that it is both highly conserved and widespread among these bacteria. Recombinant toxin protein was shown to be active against a variety of insect species by direct injection into the larvae of the lepidopteran species G. mellonella, H. armigera, and Plodia interpunctella and the dipteran species Lucilia cuprina. The protein exhibited significant cytotoxicity against two dipteran cell lines and two lepidopteran cell lines but not against a mammalian cell line. Histological data from H. armigera larvae into which the toxin was injected suggested that the primary site of action of the toxin is the midgut, although some damage to the fat body was also observed.

12082340 AB - In this ecologic study I examined ischemic heart disease (IHD) and diabetes mortality in rural agricultural counties of Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, in association with environmental exposure to chlorophenoxy herbicides, using wheat acreage as a surrogate exposure. I collected data on agricultural land use and 1979-1998 mortality from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention websites, respectively. Counties were grouped based on percentage of land area dedicated to wheat farming. Poisson relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), comparing high- and medium- with low-wheat counties, were obtained for IHD, the subcategories acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and coronary atherosclerosis (CAS), and diabetes, adjusting for sex, age, mortality cohort, and poverty index. Mortality from IHD was modestly increased (RR = 1.08; 95% CI, 1.04-1.12). Analyses of its two major forms were more revealing. Compared with low-wheat counties, mortality in high-wheat counties from AMI increased (RR = 1.20; 95% CI, 1.14-1.26), and mortality from CAS decreased (RR = 0.89; 95% CI, 0.83-0.96). Mortality from AMI was more pronounced for those 65 years of age (RR = 1.31; 95% CI 1.22-1.39). Mortality from type 2 diabetes increased (RR = 1.16; 95% CI, 1.08-1.24). These results suggest that the underlying cause of mortality from AMI and type 2 diabetes increased and the underlying cause of mortality from CAS decreased in counties where a large proportion of the land area is dedicated to spring and durum wheat farming. Firm conclusions on causal inference cannot be reached until more definitive studies have been conducted.

This study presents the results yielded by a complete data set on fish consumption habits, Hg levels in edible fish resources, and corresponding Hg accumulation in hair, gathered in three distinct communities of eastern Canada. For one of these communities, the average hair Hg concentration was 14 times less than the expected value based on calculated daily oral exposure and current knowledge of MeHg metabolism. This finding could be explained by differences in specific genetic characteristics and/or interactive effects of other dietary components.

We investigated the contributions of dermal and inhalation exposure to JP-8 to the total body dose of U.S. Air Force fuel-cell maintenance workers using naphthalene as a surrogate for JP-8 exposure. Dermal, breathing zone, and exhaled breath measurements of naphthalene were obtained using tape-strip sampling, passive monitoring, and glass bulbs, respectively. Levels of urinary 1- and 2-naphthols were determined in urine samples and used as biomarkers of JP-8 exposure. Multiple linear regression analyses were conducted to investigate the relative contributions of dermal and inhalation exposure to JP-8, and demographic and work-related covariates, to the levels of urinary naphthols. Our results show that both inhalation exposure and smoking significantly contributed to urinary 1-naphthol levels. The contribution of dermal exposure was significantly associated with levels of urinary 2-naphthol but not with urinary 1-naphthol among fuel-cell maintenance workers who wore supplied-air respirators. We conclude that dermal exposure to JP-8 significantly contributes to the systemic dose and affects the levels of urinary naphthalene metabolites. Future work on dermal xenobiotic metabolism and toxicokinetic studies are warranted in order to gain additional knowledge on naphthalene metabolism in the skin and the contribution to systemic exposure.

The respiratory health effects of repeated exposures are not as well studied. Pulmonary function decrements are known to attenuate, but it is less clear how injury and inflammation are affected. Using sputum induction (SI) to sample respiratory tract lining fluid after single- and multiday exposures, we designed a study to test the hypothesis that neutrophils would increase after multiday exposure compared with single-day exposure. In a randomized, crossover design, 15 normal healthy subjects were exposed to O3 (0.2 ppm) under two conditions: for 4 hr for 1 day (1D) and for 4 hr for 4 consecutive days (4D). Pulmonary function testing was performed immediately before and after each 4-hr exposure. The SI was performed 18 hr after the end of the 1D and 4D conditions. The symptom and pulmonary function data followed a pattern seen in other multiday O3 exposure studies, with the greatest changes occurring on the second day. In contrast to previous studies using bronchoalveolar lavage, however, there was a significant increase in the percentage of neutrophils and a significant decrease in the percentage of macrophages after the 4D condition compared with the 1D condition.

In the event of a pandemic, rapid creation of a vaccine will be critical. Researchers have now perfected an advanced method of producing the "seed" virus used to produce influenza vaccines, a technique known as reverse genetics. This method is much quicker than the conventional vaccine production process, an advantage that could potentially save millions of lives.

Because previous studies in rats have indicated effects on sex steroids and sexually dimorphic behavior after maternal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), our goal in the present study was to determine if developmental exposure to 2,2 ,4,4 ,5-pentabromodiphenyl ether (PBDE-99) induces similar endocrine-mediated effects. Pregnant rats were exposed to vehicle or PBDE-99 (1 or 10 mg/kg body weight, daily during gestational days 10-18). For comparison, we also included a group exposed to the technical PCB mixture Aroclor 1254 (30 mg/kg body weight, daily). PBDE exposure resulted in pronounced decreases in circulating sex steroids in male offspring at weaning and in adulthood. Female offspring were less affected. Anogenital distance was reduced in male offspring. Puberty onset was delayed in female offspring at the higher dose level, whereas a slight acceleration was detected in low-dose males. The number of primordial/primary ovarian follicles was reduced in females at the lower dose, whereas decline of secondary follicles was more pronounced at the higher dose. Sweet preference was dose-dependently increased in PBDE-exposed adult males, indicating a feminization of this sexually dimorphic behavior. Aroclor 1254 did not alter sweet preference and numbers of primordial/primary and secondary follicles but it did affect steroid concentrations in males and sexual development in both sexes. PBDE concentrations in tissues of dams and offspring were highest on gestational day 19. These results support the hypothesis that PBDEs are endocrine-active compounds and interfere with sexual development and sexually dimorphic behavior.

Causes of Hg0 spills include improper storage, container breakage, children playing with Hg0, the breakage of devices containing Hg0, and ritualistic use of Hg0. Inhalation is the primary exposure route for Hg0. Mercury released into the environment can enter lakes and streams, where bacteria convert it into methylmercury, which bioaccumulates in fish. Chronic exposure to Hg0 vapors can damage the kidneys and neurologic system. Short-term exposure to high levels of Hg0 vapors may cause lung damage, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, increases in blood pressure or heart rate, skin rashes, and eye irritation, among other effects. Minimizing Hg0 dispersal is important after an Hg0 spill. Tracking by shoes or apparel or vacuuming can spread Hg0, increasing airborne concentrations and cleanup costs. The Illinois Department of Public Health's response to an Hg0 spill depends on the size of the spill. Airborne concentrations after large spills are mapped with a mercury vapor analyzer (MVA). The cleanup begins with the spill site and any hot spots that were identified with the MVA. Hard surfaces can usually be cleaned, but contaminated porous items must be discarded. Leaving marginally contaminated items outdoors for a month or more during warm weather may dissipate the Hg0. After a cleanup, clearance sampling is conducted to determine if further cleanup is needed. The best way to prevent Hg0 spills is reduce its use. Key words: cleanup, elemental mercury, health effects, mercury, prevention, remediation, spill, spill management.

The inherent components of hypothesis generation, study design, methodology, analysis, and interpretation of research which are central to the investigative process take years of dedicated work to develop. Moreover, the very aim of research--getting at the truth--requires an unbiased and impartial approach to answering the questions asked. However, scientists can't always do patient-oriented research on their own, which is why the community is such an important component of our success at the NIEHS. Community partners can identify environmental exposures that are of concern, encourage the public to participate in research, help to set research priorities, and provide the bridge to developing and implementing effective interventions to reduce exposures and prevent disease.

The neurodevelopmental toxicity of PBDE-99 has been reported to affect the cholinergic and catecholaminergic systems. In this study we use a proteomics approach to study the early effect of PBDE-99 in two distinct regions of the neonatal mouse brain, the striatum and the hippocampus. A single oral dose of PBDE-99 (12 mg/kg body weight) or vehicle was administered to male NMRI mice on neonatal day 10, and the striatum and the hippocampus were isolated. Using two-dimensional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE), we found 40 and 56 protein spots with significantly (p 0.01) altered levels in the striatum and the hippocampus, respectively. We used matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF-MS) to determine the protein identity of 11 spots from the striatum and 10 from the hippocampus. We found that the levels of proteins involved in neurodegeneration and neuroplasticity (e.g., Gap-43/neuromodulin, stathmin) were typically altered in the striatum, and proteins involved in metabolism and energy production [e.g., alpha-enolase; gamma-enolase; ATP synthase, H+ transporting, mitochondrial F1 complex, beta subunit (Atp5b); and alpha-synuclein] were typically altered in the hippocampus. Interestingly, many of the identified proteins have been linked to protein kinase C signaling. In conclusion, we identify responses to early exposure to PBDE-99 that could contribute to persistent neurotoxic effects. This study also shows the usefulness of proteomics to identify potential biomarkers of developmental neurotoxicity of organohalogen compounds.

However, human studies are limited. To study the interaction between Se and Hg, we investigated the total Se and Hg concentrations in body fluids and serum Se-containing proteins in individuals exposed to high concentrations of Hg. Our objective was to elucidate the possible roles of serum Se and selenoproteins in transporting and binding Hg in human populations. We collected data from 72 subjects: 35 had very low Hg exposure as evidenced by mean Hg concentrations of 0.91 and 1.25 ng/mL measured in serum and urine, respectively; 37 had high exposure (mean Hg concentrations of 38.5 and 86.8 ng/mL measured in serum and urine, respectively). An association between Se and Hg was found in urine (r = 0.625; p 0.001) but not in serum. Hg exposure may affect Se concentrations and selenoprotein distribution in human serum. Expression of both selenoprotein P and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) was greatly increased in Hg miners. These increases were accompanied by elevated Se concentrations in serum. In addition, selenoprotein P bound more Hg at higher Hg exposure concentrations. Biochemical observations revealed that both GSH-Px activity and malondialdehyde concentrations increased in serum of the Hg-exposed group. This study aids in the understanding of the interaction between Se and Hg. Selenoproteins play two important roles in protecting against Hg toxicity. First, they may bind more Hg through their highly reactive selenol group, and second, their antioxidative properties help eliminate the reactive oxygen species induced by Hg in vivo.

Workers with occupational exposure to PBDEs have elevated serum levels of PBDEs, but these substances are also found in the general population and are ubiquitous environmental contaminants. The calculations were based on exposure assessments of rubber workers (manufactured flame-retarded rubber compound) and electronics dismantlers who donated blood during a period with no work-related exposures to PBDEs, and referents without any known occupational exposure (clerks, cleaners, and abattoir workers). The workers had previously been found to have elevated levels of high- and medium-brominated diphenyl ethers compared with the referent populations. We performed nonlinear mixed-effects modeling of kinetics, using data from previous and present chemical analyses. The calculated apparent half-life for decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209) was 15 days (95% confidence interval, 11-18 days). The three nona-BDEs and four octa-BDE congeners were found to have half-lives of 18-39 and 37-91 days, respectively. BDE-209 has a short half-life in human blood. Because BDE-209 is commonly present in humans in general, the results of this study imply that humans must be more or less continuously exposed to BDE-209 to sustain the serum concentrations observed. BDE-209 is more readily transformed and/or eliminated than are lower brominated diphenyl ether congeners, and human health risk must be assessed accordingly.

In this commentary we argue that a wide variety of mechanisms enable policymakers and the public to assure themselves that studies performed or funded by industry are identified as such, meet high scientific standards, and are not suppressed when their findings are adverse to industry's interests. The more a given study follows these practices and standards, the more confidence one can place in it. No federal laws, rules, or policies express a presumption that scientific work should be ignored or given lesser weight because of the source of its funding. To the contrary, Congress has consistently mandated that agencies allow interested or affected parties to provide information to them and fairly consider that information. All participants in scientific review panels should disclose sources of potential biases and conflicts of interest. The former should be considered in seeking a balanced panel rather than being used as a basis for disqualification. Conflicts of interest generally do require disqualification, except where outweighed by the need for a person's services. Within these constraints, chemical industry scientists can serve important and legitimate functions on scientific advisory panels and should not be unjustifiably prevented from contributing to their work.

AN - 21356357; 12083020 AB - BACKGROUND: Ecologic studies are commonly used to report associations between short-term air pollution and mortality. In such studies, the unit of observation is the day rather than the individual. Moreover, individual data on the subjects are rarely available, which limits the assessment of individual risk factors. These associations can also be investigated using case-crossover studies. However, by definition, individual risk factors are not studied, and such studies analyze only dead subjects, which limits the statistical power. OBJECTIVE: We suggest that the survival analysis is more suitable when cohorts are examined with a time-dependent ecologic exposure. To our knowledge, to date this type of analysis has never been proposed. DESIGN, PARTICIPANTS, MEASUREMENTS: In the present study we used a Cox proportional hazards model to investigate the distribution over time of the short-term effect of black smoke and sulfur dioxide in 439 nonaccidental and 158 cardiorespiratory deaths among the 1,469 subjects of the Personnes Agees QUID (PAQUID) cohort in Bordeaux, France. The model has a delayed entry and a polynomial distributed lag from 0 to 5 days. Results are adjusted for individual risk factors, temperature, relative humidity, weekday, season, influenza epidemics, and a time function to control temporal trends. RESULTS: We identified a positive and significant association between cardiorespiratory mortality and black smoke, with a 24% increase in deaths 3 days after a 10-microg/m3 increase in black smoke (95% confidence interval, 4-47%). CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that the Cox proportional hazards model with time-dependent covariates is very suitable to investigate simultaneously the short-term effect of air pollution on health and the effect of individual risk factors on a cohort study.

A number of agents, including metals, man-made chemicals, immunotoxicants, and infectious pathogens, have been implicated in neurodevelopmental effects; some researchers are also looking at the possible role of gene-environment interactions. Federal support for work in this sphere is increasing, and an expert working group recently formulated a set of best practices for studying neurodevelopmental outcomes. Challenges remain in educating the public and clinicians alike about the links between environmental insults and these disorders.

I identified 12 studies on this subject published since 1980. Of these, 3 were longitudinal studies--2 conducted in the Seychelle Islands, and 1 in the Faroe Islands. Nine were cross-sectional studies conducted in different countries where seafood, a source of MeHg, constituted a major part of the diet. The ages of the children studied ranged from 2 weeks to 12 years. The results of the longitudinal studies were contradictory. Researchers in the Faroe Islands identified an association between MeHg exposure and developmental effects, whereas those in the Seychelle Islands identified no such association. This inconsistency was mirrored in the results of the cross-sectional studies where there were some positive and some negative findings. It was concluded that it was not possible from currently available data to determine whether there is an association between prenatal MeHg exposure and adverse developmental effects in children. In advance of future research, consideration should be given to resolving the uncertainties surrounding exposure assessment and outcome measurement, as both elements varied between studies. It was suggested that questions of exposure assessment would benefit from the application of an expert review process. Outcome assessment would benefit from the development of theoretically based measures of specific aspects of cognitive functioning to replace the relatively crude measures of attainment and IQ currently employed in most studies. This would assist in the development of classic longitudinal studies by allowing repeated assessment over the full age range and providing data that are more readily interpretable and comparable between studies.

Elevated disease risks have been observed in some populations exposed to radio and television transmissions, although findings are inconsistent. This study quantified RF exposures among 280 residents living near the broadcasting transmitters for Denver, Colorado. RF power densities outside and inside each residence were obtained, and a global positioning system (GPS) identified geographic coordinates and elevations. A view-shed model within a geographic information system (GIS) characterized the average distance and percentage of transmitters visible from each residence. Data were collected at the beginning and end of a 2.5-day period, and some measurements were repeated 8-29 months later. RF levels logged at 1-min intervals for 2.5 days varied considerably among some homes and were quite similar among others. The greatest differences appeared among homes within 1 km of the transmitters. Overall, there were no differences in mean residential RF levels compared over 2.5 days. However, after a 1- to 2-year follow-up, only 25% of exterior and 38% of interior RF measurements were unchanged. Increasing proximity, elevation, and line-of-sight visibility were each associated with elevated RF exposures. At average distances from 1-3 km, exterior RF measurements were 13-30 times greater among homes that had 50% of the transmitters visible compared with homes with or = 50% visibility at those distances.

Study groups included 53 ex-miners previously exposed to Hg0 and 53 age-matched controls. Miners and controls completed the self-reporting Eysenck Personality Questionnaire and the Emotional States Questionnaire. The relationship between the indices of past occupational exposure and the observed personality traits was evaluated using Pearson's correlation coefficient and on a subgroup level by machine learning methods (regression trees). The ex-mercury miners were intermittently exposed to Hg0 for a period of 7-31 years. The means of exposure-cycle urine mercury (U-Hg) concentrations ranged from 20 to 120 microg/L. The results obtained indicate that ex-miners tend to be more introverted and sincere, more depressive, more rigid in expressing their emotions and are likely to have more negative self-concepts than controls, but no correlations were found with the indices of past occupational exposure. Despite certain limitations, results obtained by the regression tree suggest that higher alcohol consumption per se and long-term intermittent, moderate exposure to Hg0 (exposure cycle mean U-Hg concentrations 38.7 53.5 microg/L) in interaction with alcohol remain a plausible explanation for the depression associated with negative self-concept found in subgroups of ex-mercury miners. This could be one of the reason for the higher risk of suicide among miners of the Idrija Mercury Mine in the last 45 years.

DSC imparted isothermal crystallisation thermal history. The subsequentmelting behaviour revealed that all PHB materials experienced secondary crystallisationduring heating and the extent of secondary crystallisation varied dependingon the crystallisation temperature. PHB samples were found to exhibit doublemelting behaviour due to melting of SDSC scan-induced secondary crystals,while considerable secondary crystallisation or annealing took place underthe modulated heating conditions. The overall melting behaviour was rationalisedin terms of recrystallisation and/or annealing of crystals. Interestingly,the PHB materials analysed by SDSC showed a broad exotherm before the meltingpeak in the non-reversing curve and a multiple melting peak reversing curve,verifying that the melting-recrystallisation and remelting process was operative.HSOM studies supported the conclusions from DSC that the radial growth rateof the PHB spherulites was significantly varied upon the crystallisation conditions.One form of crystals was shown by WAXRD from isothermally crystallised PHB.

A rational basis for this genetic variation may be provided by its natural competence for genetic transformation and high-frequency recombination. Many bacterial competence systems have homology with proteins that are involved in the assembly of type IV pili and type II secretion systems. In H. pylori, DNA uptake relies on a transport system related to type IV secretion systems (T4SS) designated the comB system. The prototype of a T4SS in Agrobacterium tumefaciens consists of 11 VirB proteins and VirD4, which form the core unit necessary for the delivery of single proteins or large nucleoprotein complexes into target cells. In the past we identified proteins ComB4 and ComB7 through ComB10 as being involved in the process of DNA uptake in H. pylori. In this study we identified and functionally characterized further (T4SS-homologous) components of the comB transformation competence system. By combining computer prediction modeling, experimental topology determination, generation of knockout strains, and genetic complementation studies we identified ComB2, ComB3, and ComB6 as essential components of the transformation apparatus, structurally and functionally homologous to VirB2, VirB3, and VirB6, respectively. comB2, comB3, and comB4 are organized as a separate operon. Thus, for the H. pylori comB system, all T4SS core components have been identified except for homologues to VirB1, VirD4, VirB5, and VirB11.

In this study we investigated the influence of a terrestrial habitat attribute on the distribution of the terrestrial egg-laying toadlet, Pseudophryne bibronii. Eggs of this species are deposited in depressions, or under leaf litter, and develop to a stage where they can hatch to free swimming tadpoles when water covers breeding sites or embryos are washed into water. Because rainfall can be intermittent, eggs may sit for extended periods in terrestrial nests before sufficient rainfall initiates hatching. Appropriate egg-laying sites must be chosen by both males and females to ensure embryos survive these periods. A study of 20 sites found that soil pH at sites where P. bibronii were recorded as present was significantly lower than pH at sites where P. bibronii were recorded as absent. To determine whether soil pH influenced the hatching success in P. bibronii, experiments were conducted in which batches of eggs were translocated to local areas with different soil pH. Survival rate of eggs was significantly influenced by relatively small changes in pH, with hatching success higher at lower pH. In a laboratory trial survival of eggs raised on sterilized soil was not affected by soil pH. Fungal infection of eggs was observed in the field and laboratory suggesting that hatching success might be affected via a complex interaction between soil pH, fungi and other soil biota. Choice trials using P. bibronii metamorphs indicated that individuals were capable of distinguishing between small differences in pH. Therefore, distribution of P. bibronii may be influenced by either differential mortality of embryos, or habitat choice by post metamorphic individuals, and further experiments are required to determine the relative importance of these factors.

Transgenic lines overexpressing OsAMT1-1 were produced by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of two rice cultivars, Taipei 309 and Jarrah, with an OsAMT1-1 cDNA gene construct driven by the maize ubiquitin promoter. Transcript levels of OsAMT1-1 in both Taipei 309 and Jarrah transgenic lines correlated positively with transgene copy number. Shoot and root biomass of some transgenic lines decreased during seedling and early vegetative stage compared to the wild type, especially when grown under high (2 mm) ammonium nutrition. Transgenic plants, particularly those of cv. Jarrah recovered in the mid-vegetative stage under high ammonium nutrition. Roots of the transgenic plants showed increased ammonium uptake and ammonium content. We conclude that the decreased biomass of the transgenic lines at early stages of growth might be caused by the accumulation of ammonium in the roots owing to the inability of ammonium assimilation to match the greater ammonium uptake.

It is therefore desirable to identify plants with enhanced abilities to utilize P more efficiently. Exudation of phosphatase from roots may improve P availability, yet there is little direct evidence for this. Here we report the dynamics of organic P in the rhizosphere of plants that have enhanced rhizosphere phosphatase activity. Agroforestry species and transgenic subterranean clover (engineered to produce phytase) were compared with crop and wild-type plant controls, respectively. Depletion of organic P was measured in pools defined by chemical extraction, solution super(31)P NMR spectroscopy, and microbial immobilization of radio-isotopic P. Plants that had greater extracellular phosphatase activity depleted more organic P from P-deficient Oxisols than control plants. Depleted organic P forms were primarily phosphate monoesters. Plants with enhanced extracellular phosphatase activity also had access to a pool of soil P that was less isotopically exchangeable. Transgenic subterranean clover that expresses a microbial phytase gene appeared to have greater access to recently immobilized P, whereas plants expressing endogenous phosphatases utilized the unlabelled portion of soil organic P to a greater extent. Collectively, these results indicate that the enhancement of phosphatase activity in the rhizosphere of plants is implicated in the depletion of organic P forms from soils, most notably orthophosphate monoesters, whilst also suggesting that there is some exclusivity to the pools of organic P utilized by plants and microorganisms.

AN - 19422577; 6676843 AB - Introducing reclaimed water as an alternative to the traditional mains water supply involves change in practices as well as technology. Therefore, the social effects of innovative solutions to sustainable water management need to be carefully considered. This paper will present findings from research undertaken in California and Florida, USA, and Australia. What is the community response to recycling reclaimed water? Are there ways of involving the public so that the change involved in introducing reclaimed water achieves sustainable outcomes? Results from a series of case studies where indirect potable reuse has been planned will be considered along with the findings from a range of industry surveys, mainly conducted in the USA. In relation to non potable reuse, this paper will cover acceptance of some of the main uses, and householder's experience of recycling water for residential use. The resulting analysis suggests that the shift from traditional, centrally controlled water supplies to innovative alternatives, requires a corresponding shift in resources to support what is essentially a social transformation in water service delivery and management.

AN - 19275594; 7017613 AB - The broad-spectrum stem rust resistance gene Sr2 has provided protection in wheat against Puccinia graminis Pers. f. sp. tritici for over 80 years. The Sr2 gene and an associated dark pigmentation trait, pseudo-black chaff (PBC), have previously been localized to the short arm of chromosome 3B. In a first step towards the positional-based cloning of Sr2, we constructed a high-resolution map of this region. The wheat EST (wEST) deletion bin mapping project provided tightly linked cDNA markers. The rice genome sequence was used to infer the putative gene order for orthologous wheat genes and provide additional markers once the syntenic interval in rice was identified. We used this approach to map six wESTs that were collinear with the physical order of the corresponding genes on rice chromosome 1 suggesting there are no major re-arrangements between wheat and rice in this region. We were unable to separate by recombination the tightly linked morphological trait, PBC from the stem rust resistance gene suggesting that either a single gene or two tightly linked genes control both traits.

We investigated three specific aspects of this relationship for the blue swimmer crab, Portunus pelagicus, in a temperate gulf: (1) the effects of different but temporally constant temperatures on the survival and developmental period of larvae reared in the laboratory, (2) the effects of varying temperatures on the survival and developmental period of larvae reared in the laboratory, and (3) prediction of larval developmental periods under seasonal temperature changes found in the field. Temperature had a marked effect on larval survival. At constant temperatures of 22.5 and 25 degree C larval survival was far greater than at lower temperatures down to 17 degree C, and developmental period of the larval period was inversely related to (constant) temperature. However, larvae in temperate coastal waters will usually be exposed to seasonally varying, rather than constant, temperatures. To account for this, a larval developmental period model was created and then verified in the laboratory by rearing larvae under varying temperatures. Results of this work demonstrated that developmental periods were markedly different under constant versus varying temperature regimes. Using different temperature simulations for a temperate gulf (Gulf St Vincent, South Australia), the developmental period model predicted that in years of 'average' seasonal temperature changes, total larval developmental period could range from 26 to 45 days depending on the day of hatching. In such cases, peak postlarval settlement was predicted to occur between mid January and mid March. Results from this study also predict that larval survival (and thus postlarval settlement) will be maximised in years with abnormally warm summers. Whilst the developmental period model was used to make predictions of developmental period for P. pelagicus in a temperate gulf, it could readily be adapted to predict developmental periods in other coastal environments.

In cases of uremia, there is close correlation between plasma levels of uremic toxins [e.g. 3-carboxy-4-methyl-5-propyl-2-furanpropionate (CMPF), hippurate (HA) and indoleacetate (IA)] and the degree of uremic encephalopathy, suggesting that uremic toxins are involved in uremic encephalopathy. In order to evaluate the relevance of uremic toxins to CNS dysfunction, we investigated directional transport of uremic toxins across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) using in vivo integration plot analysis and the brain efflux index method. We observed saturable efflux transport of [ super(3)H]CMPF, [ super(14)C]HA and [ super(3)H]IA, which was inhibited by probenecid. For all uremic toxins evaluated, apparent efflux clearance across the BBB was greater than apparent influx clearance, suggesting that these toxins are predominantly transported from the brain to blood across the BBB. Saturable efflux transport of [ super(3)H]CMPF, [ super(14)C]HA and [ super(3)H]IA was completely inhibited by benzylpenicillin, which is a substrate of rat organic anion transporter 3 (rOat3). Taurocholate and digoxin, which are common substrates of rat organic anion transporting polypeptide (rOatp), partially inhibited the efflux of [ super(3)H]CMPF. Transport experiments using a Xenopus laevis oocyte expression system revealed that CMPF, HA and IA are substrates of rOat3, and that CMPF (but not HA or IA) is a substrate of rOap2. These results suggest that rOat3 mediates brain-to-blood transport of uremic toxins, and that rOatp2 is involved in efflux of CMPF. Thus, conditions typical of uremia can cause inhibition of brain-to-blood transport involving rOat3 and-or rOatp2, leading to accumulation of endogenous metabolites and drugs in the brain.

Although most microorganisms internalized by host cells are efficiently cleared following fusion with lysosomes, many pathogens have evolved mechanisms to escape this degradation. In this Review, we provide insight into the molecular processes that are targeted by pathogens that interact with the endoplasmic reticulum and thereby subvert the immune response, ensure their survival intracellularly and cause disease. We also discuss how the endoplasmic reticulum 'strikes back' and controls microbial growth.

Quantum dots are semiconductor nanocrystals with unique optical and electrical properties applied in biomedical imaging and electronics industries. One of the more valuable properties of QDs is their fluorescence spectrum, which renders them optimal fluorophores for biomedical imaging. QDs consist of a metalloid crystalline core and a cap or shell that shields the core and renders the QD bioavailable. QD toxicity depends on multiple factors derived from both individual QD physiochemical properties and environmental conditions namely, QD size, charge, concentration, outer coating bioactivity, and oxidative, photolytic and mechanical stability. Cadmium and selenium, two of the most widely used constituent metals in QD core metalloid complexes are known to cause acute and chronic toxicities in vertebrates and are of considerable human health and environmental concern.

Most of children's conventional diets were substituted with organic food items for five consecutive days. Two spot daily urine samples, one in the morning and other before-bedtime voids, throughout the fifteen-day study period were collected. Concentrations of OP specific metabolites were reported as three categories namely, detectable, detectable but not quantifiable, and nondetectable. Averaging the metabolite concentration in the morning sample with that of the previous day's bedtime sample and then normalizing for the total volume of these two urine samples calculated the daily volume-weighted average of OP pesticide metabolites. It was found that the median urinary concentrations of the specific metabolites for malathion and chlorpyrifos decreased to the nondetectable levels immediately after the introduction of organic diets and remained nondetectable until the conventional diets were reintroduced.

The objective was to provide a better scientific basis for the definition of recreational water quality standards. A total of two thousand one hundred ninety six participants were recruited from the local population and randomized into bathers and non-bathers. Bathing duration was limited to exactly ten minutes, and participants were asked to stay inside the roped-off swimming zones and to stay or swim around balloons. Water samples were collected every twenty minutes from the centers of the swimmers' and nonswimmers' zones in all four areas. In 95.2% of the samples collected during the five trial days, E. coli concentrations were below the imperative value of 2,000/100 mL.

Archived samples collected from 1995 to 1997 in the NHEXAS in U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 (R5) and the Children's Study (CS) in Minnesota were analyzed for total arsenic, arsenate, arsenite, dimethyl arsenic acid (DMA), monomethyl arsenic acid (MMA), arsenobetaine, and arsenocholine. Samples for the CS included, drinking water, urine, air, and dust; both studies included food. For both R5 and CS, the As food measurements were for composite samples of solid foods consumed over a four day period. Intakes from the amount of food consumed per day times the concentration in the food composites were calculated. The most prevalent As formed in water was found to be As(V), whereas As(III) was measurable in up to 73% of the samples.

The cohorts included all laundry and dry-cleaning workers from the 1970 censuses in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Controls were randomly selected from the cohort using frequency match by country, sex, 5-year age group, and 5-year calendar period at the time of diagnosis of the case. Exposed cases and controls were categorized by length of employment in the shop where they worked in 1970. Rate ratios (RRs) for dry cleaners versus unexposed controls were estimated using logistic regression adjusted for matching criteria and for smoking and alcohol use. It was found that eight esophageal cancer cases belonged to the dry-cleaner group, giving an RR of 0.76. Eleven exposed liver cancer cases gave an RR of 0.76, and 57 exposed pancreatic cancer cases gave an RR of 1.27.

Effects on 19,901 infants in the South Coast Air Basin of California in 1995-2000 with a hospital discharge record for bronchiolitis in the first year of life were evaluated. Air pollutant monitoring data for 1995-2000 from the electronic database of California Environment Protection Agency Air Resources Board were extracted. Study subjects' ZIP code was linked to ambient air pollution monitors to derive exposures. The risk of bronchiolitis hospitalization associated with increases in wintertime ambient air pollutants was estimated using conditional logistic regression. No increased risk after acute exposure to particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 mu m was observed in aerodynamic diameter, carbon monoxide, or nitrogen dioxide.

A Cox proportional hazards model was used to investigate the distribution over time of the short-term effect of black smoke and sulfur dioxide in four hundred thirty nine nonaccidental and one hundred fifty eight cardiorespiratory deaths among the one thousand four hundred sixty nine subjects of the Personnes Agees QUID (PAQUID). The measurements of air pollutant concentrations were time-dependent covariates with three thousand six hundred fifty three different values over the ten years of follow-up. Status about cigarette smoke exposure was defined at the inclusion in the study as nonsmoker, smoker, ex-smoker, or current smoker. A positive and significant association between cardiorespiratory mortality and black smoke was identified with a 24% increase on deaths three days after a 10- mu g/m super(3) increase in black smoke.

Children aged 5-7 years were tested with cooperation-independent body plethysmography in repeated cross sections. Randon-effect models were used to determine the mutually adjusted association between lung function and short-term and chronic particle exposure, and its interaction with living near a busy road. Lung function with a constant volume body plethysmograph apparatus was tested. Children's exposure to outdoor TSPs and SO sub(2) was characterized by the mean of the values gained at the monitoring stations. It was found that the annual mean SO sub(2) concentrations in East Germany exceeded West German concentrations by a factor up to 5, and the daily mean concentrations were >10 times higher in East than in West Germany.

Dermal-transfer coefficients were developed for young children engaged in their routine activities to evaluate use of transfer-coefficient approach for characterizing children's nonoccupational exposure to pesticides. Children in the selected childcare center were monitored using full-body cotton garments to measure dermal loading. Pesticide residues on classroom surfaces were measured in the areas where the children spent time. Surface press samples were collected in ten locations across the classroom floor using a modified EL press sampler. The garment and surface loading measurements were used to calculate dermal transfer coefficients for use in assessing children's residential exposure to pesticides. Dermal transfer coefficients calculated using these data ranged from approximately 10 to 6,000 cm super(2)/hr.

Gas chromatography / mass spectrometry was used for twenty-nine polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Participants provided information on area of residence, occupation, obstetric information, smoking history, and demographic characteristics, in response to a questionnaire translated from World Health Organization (WHO) PCDDs, PCDF, and PCB exposure studies. A semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire was developed to assess the subjects' habitual intake on potentially dioxin-related food groups, including a wide range of freshwater fish, saltwater fish, seafood, and other fish products. It was found that the ranges of PCDD-toxic equivalents (TEQs) were wider than that of PCDF-TEQs.

AN - 67574353; 16256127 AB - A robust procedure for the determination of 16 US EPA PAHs in both aqueous (e.g. wastewaters, industrial discharges, treated effluents) and solid samples (e.g. suspended solids and sludge) from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is presented. Recovery experiments using different percentages of organic modifier, sorbents and eluting solvent mixtures were carried out in Milli-Q water (1000 mL) spiked with a mixture of the PAH analytes (100 ng/L of each analyte). The solid phase extraction (SPE) procedures applied to spiked waste water samples (1000 mL; 100 ng/L spiking level) permitted simultaneous recovery of all the 16PAHs with yields >70% (6-13% RSD). SPE clean up procedures applied to sewage and stabilized sludge extracts, showed percent recoveries in the range 73-92% (7-13% RSD) and 71-89% (7-12% RSD), respectively. The methods were used for the determination of PAHs in aqueous and solid samples from the WWTP of Fusina (Venice, Italy). Mean concentrations, as the sum of the 16PAHs in aqueous and suspended solid samples, were found to be approx. in the 1.12-4.62 microg/L range. Sewage and stabilized sludge samples contained mean PAH concentrations, as sum of 16 compounds, in the concentration range of 1.44-1.26 mg/kg, respectively. Extraction and clean up procedures for sludge samples were validated using EPA certified reference material IRM-104 (CRM No. 912). Instrumental analyses were performed by coupling HPLC with UV-diode array detection (UV-DAD) and fluorescence detection (FLD). JF - Journal of chromatography.

Polygons that have lattice points as vertices are called lattice polygons. It is clear that lattice polygons come in various shapes and sizes. A very small lattice triangle may cover just 3 lattice points--at the vertices. A very large lattice polygon might be expected to cover many more lattice points. This suggests that there might be a correlation between the area of (simple) lattice polygons and the number of lattice points they cover. This article illustrates a problem solving activity in determining the area of the simple lattice and non-lattice polygons using Pick's theorem. (Contains 7 figures and 3 tables.)

AN - 70706324; 16290253 AB - DPL2 (DPP10) found at chromosome 2q14.1 is a member of the dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPIV) gene family. Here we characterize a novel short DPL2 isoform (DPL2-s), a 789-amino acid protein, that differs from the previously described long DPL2 isoform (DPL2-l) at the N-terminal cytoplasmic domain by 13 amino acids. The two DPL2 isoforms use alternate first exons. DPL2 mRNA was expressed mainly in the brain and pancreas. Multiple forms of recombinant DPL2-s protein were observed in 293T cells, having mobilities 96 kDa, 100 kDa, and approximately 250 kDa which may represent soluble DPL2, transmembrane DPL2 and multimeric DPL2 respectively. DPL2 is glycosylated as a band shift is observed following PNGase F deglycosylation. DPL2-s was expressed primarily on the cell surface of transfected 293T and PC12 cells. DPL2-s exhibits high sequence homology with other DPIV peptidases, but lacks a catalytic serine residue and lacks dipeptidyl peptidase activity. Substitutions of Gly(644)-->Ser, Lys(643)Gly(644)-->TrpSer, or Asp(561)Lys(643)Gly(644)-->TyrTrpSer in the catalytic motif did not confer dipeptidyl peptidase activity upon DPL2-s. Thus, although DPL2 is similar in structure and sequence to the other dipeptidyl peptidases, it lacks vital residues required to confer dipeptidyl peptidase activity and has instead evolved features that enable it to act as an important component of voltage-gated potassium channels.

AN - 70704017; 16433377 AB - Species sensitivity distributions (SSDs) are increasingly used to analyze toxicity data but have been criticized for a lack of consistency in data inputs, lack of relevance to the real environment, and a lack of transparency in implementation. This paper shows how the Bayesian approach addresses concerns arising from frequentist SSD estimation. Bayesian methodologies are used to estimate SSDs and compare results obtained with time-dependent (LC50) and time-independent (predicted no observed effect concentration) endpoints for the insecticide chlorpyrifos. Uncertainty in the estimation of each SSD is obtained either in the form of a pointwise percentile confidence interval computed by bootstrap regression or an associated credible interval. We demonstrate that uncertainty in SSD estimation can be reduced by applying a Bayesian approach that incorporates expert knowledge and that use of Bayesian methodology permits estimation of an SSD that is more robust to variations in data. The results suggest that even with sparse data sets theoretical criticisms of the SSD approach can be overcome.

AN - 70185808; 16224782 AB - Urokinase and plasmin appear to have antiinflammatory activity in some injury models, and urokinase immobilization has been clinically used to prevent thrombus formation in various implants, including intravenous indwelling catheters and subcutaneous drainage tubes. In the present study, polyurethane tubes were embedded in rabbit muscle for 3 months and the effect of urokinase immobilization on inflammatory responses to the implanted tubes was studied at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months. Mononuclear leukocyte accumulation occurred around implanted polyurethane tubes and peaked after 1 month, but was reduced significantly by urokinase immobilization. The treatment also lessened as well as delayed eosinophil accumulation, but did not affect fibrosis caused by implanted tubes. These results indicate suppressive effects of urokinase immobilization on polyurethane-elicited inflammatory responses and suggest that an approach to develop persistently active urokinase immobilization is rational for successful long-term device implantation.

AN - 68948374; 17033080 AB - The genetic transformation of opium poppy, Papaver somniferum, offers the opportunity to study the mechanisms involved in the regulation of benzylisoquinoline and morphinan alkaloid biosynthesis. The development of an efficient transformation protocol for opium poppy has allowed us to transform a range of genotypes from all around the world, including previously recalcitrant high-yielding commercial Australian cultivars. The method involves Agrobacterium tumefaciens infection of hypocotyl explants, followed by the production of antibiotic or herbicide resistant embryogenic callus, the subsequent induction of somatic embryos and development into normal plants. The use of different selective agents, binary vectors, and poppy genotypes has demonstrated the robustness and reliability of this protocol in the production of many hundreds of confirmed transgenic poppies.

AN - 68571155; 16741784 AB - A multimodal (or balanced) approach to anaesthesia is a familiar concept that offers important benefits in the management of both acute and chronic pain. Rational combinations of analgesic agents with different mechanisms of action can achieve improved efficacy and/or tolerability and safety compared with equianalgesic doses of the individual drugs. Combining different agents also enhances efficacy in complex pain states that involve multiple causes. Combinations of paracetamol plus a weak opioid agent are widely used. One such combination, paracetamol plus tramadol, exploits the well-established complementary pharmacokinetics and mechanisms of action of these two drugs. This combination has demonstrated genuine synergy in animal studies and also combines paracetamol's rapid onset of efficacy with tramadol's prolonged analgesic effect. Numerous studies have confirmed the efficacy and tolerability of paracetamol plus tramadol in both acute and chronic pain. As a single-dose treatment for acute post-operative pain, this combination delivers rapid and sustained pain relief that is greater than either agent alone. There is also extensive evidence for efficacy in the long-term management of chronic pain conditions, including osteoarthritis, low back pain and fibromyalgia. In the setting of chronic pain, paracetamol plus tramadol has shown sustained efficacy, safety and tolerability for up to 2 years without the development of tolerance. The efficacy of this combination has been demonstrated as well in respect to reduction of pain intensity and, more importantly, with regard to improvement of function and quality of life and the reduction of disability. Comparative trials have shown that paracetamol plus tramadol has comparable efficacy to paracetamol plus codeine, but with reduced somnolence and constipation compared with the codeine combination. The paracetamol plus tramadol combination is also free of organ toxicity associated with selective and non-selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Hence, paracetamol plus tramadol offers an effective and well-tolerated alternative to anti-inflammatory drugs or other paracetamol plus weak opioid combinations.

AN - 68099299; 16785836 AB - Postoperative pain requires treatment not only to provide comfort to patients but also to improve postoperative outcome. Anti-inflammatory compounds are an important component of multimodal analgesia in the postoperative period. The newer cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 inhibitors are as effective as classical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in this setting. However, COX-2 inhibitors offer a number of advantages over NSAIDs when used to treat postoperative pain. These include a reduced incidence of gastrointestinal ulceration and no inhibitory effect on platelet function and thereby a reduced risk of blood loss. Other benefits are less impairment of bone healing and no induction of bronchospasm in patients with aspirin-sensitive asthma. Increased cardiovascular thromboembolic events by COX-2 inhibitors have been reported after coronary artery bypass graft surgery only, but in general, surgery studies the incidence of such complications was comparable to placebo. Overall, COX-2 inhibitors offer a number of advantages over classical NSAIDs in the postoperative pain setting, but require the same caution with regard to renal effects.

AN - 68036411; 16749443 AB - Single-stage Nitrogen removal using Anammox and Partial nitritation (SNAP) process was newly developed as an economical nitrogen removal process for ammonium rich wastewaters. The experimental studies for the evaluation of SNAP process were carried out using a novel biofilm reactor, in which hydrophilic net-type acryl fiber biomass carrier was applied. This SNAP reactor was operated under operational conditions of pH 7.5-7.7, 35 degrees C and DO 2-3 mg/L, and 60 to 80% of influent NH4-N was removed under loading rate of 0.48 kg-N/m3/d. Through the DNA analysis of the attached sludge, it was made clear that ammonium oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and anammox bacteria coexisted in the attach-immobilized sludge on the acryl fiber biomass carrier. Favorable conditions for the growth of anammox bacteria were created inside attach-immobilized nitrifying sludge. Two kinds of anammox bacteria and two kinds of AOB were detected in the SNAP sludge.

AN - 67628290; 16455607 AB - The aim of this study was to prepare poly(d, l-lactide) (PLA) microspheres containing naltrexone (NTX) by a solvent evaporation method, and to evaluate both in vitro and in vivo release characteristics and histopathological findings of tissue surrounding an implant formulation in rats. This method enabled the preparation of microspheres of regular shape and relatively narrow particle size distribution. The in vitro release profiles of NTX from PLA microspheres showed the release of NTX did not follow zero-order kinetics. An initial burst release was observed, subsequently followed by a nearly constant rate of 0.4% per day after ten days. The cumulative amount of NTX released at the end of 60 days was 80%. Compressed microspheres showed near zero-order sustained release of NTX for 360 days. The plasma NTX levels in rats showed that for compressed microspheres NTX concentrations were constant and exceeded 2 ng/mL for 28 days. Throughout the 28 days of study, the implantations cause a minor inflammatory response, which can be regarded as a normal defence mechanism. The sustained release performance of NTX from the biodegradable depot systems may provide a reliable, convenient, and safe mechanism for the administration of NTX for the long-term treatment of opioid dependence.

AN - 67592601; 16370953 AB - Without a preservative, such as thiomersal (known as thimerosal in the US), multi-dose liquid presentations of vaccine are vulnerable to bacteriological contamination that can result in death or serious illness of the recipient. Concerns about levels of mercury exposure from thiomersal-containing vaccines were first raised in the US during 1999 in the context of Hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Since then, a large body of evidence from animal and epidemiological studies has accumulated on the safety of thiomersal. Ironically, these data have become largely irrelevant in wealthy countries, where mono-dose, thiomersal-free vaccines have been introduced as a precautionary measure in almost all childhood vaccines, in part related to residual public scepticism. In poor countries, multi-dose vials remain important for vaccine delivery. There is a real danger that this controversy may result in the loss to the world of thiomersal as a preservative, simply from popular pressure. In reality, it would be impossible to cease overnight using thiomersal and maintain the supply of vital vaccines. This paper reviews and summarises the data available from published studies on mercury toxicity, and thiomersal in vaccines in particular, that overwhelmingly indicate continued use of thiomersal is safe in those countries where it is most needed.

One response to this is to place the learning experience within a context that clearly demonstrates a non-trivial application of the material, and which thereby provides a definite purpose for the mathematical tools under consideration. The endeavor of placing increasing emphasis on the ability of students to apply mathematical thinking to the task of modelling real situations requires that a process for developing a mathematical model be taught explicitly, and that sufficient opportunities are provided to students to engage them in that process so that when they are confronted by an apparently complex situation they have the thinking and operational skills, as well as the disposition, to enable them to proceed. This article develops a model of a physical situation that can be explained through application of senior secondary mathematical concepts, and which has elements of all phases of the modelling process. The authors focus on calculating the pattern of a transit of Venus and determining when transits will occur by formulating a mathematical model for high school students. Some assumptions made in course of developing the model are described and the implications for teaching are discussed. (Contains 7 figures.)

Although this can be aimed specifically at children, it really applies to all persons. The basic premise is that the company issues a "set" of different items or coupons and places one of the coupons in boxes of their product. The consumer does not know which of the coupons in the set they will get until they purchase the product and open the packaging. This situation is sometimes known as the "coupon collector's problem" or "cereal box problem" (since the coupons are often a set of toys found in a packet of cereal). This article analyses this problem generally and then demonstrates it, by using specific examples. It provides an interesting instance of how mathematics can be used to analyse an everyday problem while illustrating the important concept of modeling. Specific instances of its application include coin collecting by Lu and Skiena (2000). (Contains 4 tables.) JF - Australian Senior Mathematics Journal AU - Croucher, John S.

Mathematical fiction is a recently rediscovered and growing literature, as sales of the novels: "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" (Haddon, 2003) and "The Da Vinci Code" (Brown, 2004) attest. Science fiction has been called the literature of ideas. These days fiction, not just science fiction, is likely to contain mathematical ideas. This article describes a novel and two plays with mathematical themes and then investigates the mathematics in the film, "A Beautiful Mind" (Howard & Grazer, 2001). The topics discussed include: modular arithmetic, cryptography, vector calculus, probability, financial mathematics, and game, chaos, and number theory, including Germain primes. Mathematical ideas can be introduced and discussed through short stories, novels, plays and screenplays, likewise some of this literature is suitable for the introduction of mathematical topics into the classroom or lecture hall. Indeed, used properly, these works can: motivate students; introduce mathematical ideas in an informative context; elaborate on topics; supply imaginative applications; and help clarify mathematics, with or without the collaboration of science and humanities teachers. Consequently, these works are useful propaganda for mathematics, encouraging an appreciation of it. They are capable of captivating an audience, a group of students, with some challenging mathematics. (Contains 2 figures.)

Cantorian Conundrums in the Contemporary Classroom AN - 62105519; EJ744042 AB - In set theory, one comes across the notion of "vacuous truth." A statement is vacuously true if it is true but does not quite say anything. The structure of a vacuously true statement is typically of the form: everything with property A also has property B, with the caveat being that there is nothing in property A. For instance one could say: all humans with gills are sharks. This statement is vacuously true because there are no humans with gills. It is natural to dismiss such examples as absurd and pathologies within the framework of set theory. However the notion of vacuous truth arises in some pedagogical situations. The reader is undoubtedly curious whether a situation requiring the examination of "vacuous" truth can arise in a contemporary mathematics classroom. In fact such situations do arise. In this article, the author describes one such situation in a preservice elementary mathematics classroom. This unusual set-theoretic pedagogical situation is known as Cantonian conundrums.

This study investigated the value of introducing students to a Vedic method of multiplication of arithmetic numbers to algebra that is very visual in its application. This research considered a possible role of the "Vertically and Crosswise" sutra for improving facility with, and understanding of, the expression of algebraic binomials and the factorisation of quadratic expressions. It employed a case study methodology, using a single class of Year 10 (age 15 years) students. The students were taught an appropriate Vedic sutra following teaching of the traditional FOIL method of multiplication of binomials, and the decomposition method for factorisation. The authors found that afterwards the students performed significantly better overall on these types of algebra questions, and specifically on the factorisations, and there was weak evidence of better results on expansion using a grid format.

The study is part of a larger study of students' concept formation of limits. The mathematical area is limits of functions. The study was carried out at a Swedish university at the first level of mathematics. The results are, however, applicable to other countries as well since students meet similar challenges in their learning of limits. In discussions with some Australian mathematics teachers at university level, the author, found out that the topics taught in basic mathematics courses in Australia are similar to Swedish courses. Two groups of students taking the same course in successive semesters have been solving tasks. Their solutions are categorised and analysed to create a picture of how students reason about limits.

However, the boundaries explode when these powerful tools for learning are connected to data logging devices: a whole new approach to mathematics learning becomes possible. Using real world data to introduce the main functions (which are the bread-and-butter of high school mathematics) invites an experimental approach to the subject and encourages students to engage actively in their learning, as participants rather than as passive spectators. This paper describes a classroom activity which offers four different methods for producing a sinusoidal curve and so provides a suitable introduction to or consolidation of trigonometric functions.

The game is for two players, each taking turn and turn about to move a single counter on the grid down and/or to the left until one or the other player can put the counter on the FINISH square. Each move can cover as many squares as the mover likes, within the confines of the grid, but cannot change direction; and the direction must be either directly to the left, directly down, or diagonally down to the left. In this article, the author discusses the solution and winning strategy of the "First One Home" game. (Contains 2 figures and 2 tables.)

This article produces a closed form solution to all questions of this type. The author points out the limitations of the illustrated approach and investigates the intriguing manner in which the greatest coefficient moves about. The content of the article is accessible to advanced mathematics students in the final year of high school and is of particular value to Extension 1 and 2 students in the NSW Higher School Certificate.

In Victoria, Australia, it is currently mandatory for students to use graphics calculators in some grade 12 mathematics examinations. Since 2001, a pilot study has been conducted involving Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) students using CAS calculators instead of graphics calculators. From 2006-2008 the CAS calculator will be optional; from 2009 it is expected to replace the graphics calculator. The first study described here involves an exploration over a three-year time frame, 2002-2004, of male and female students' results in the grade 12 Mathematical Methods subject in which students used graphics calculators and small numbers of students in the pilot study, Mathematical Methods (CAS) subject, who used CAS calculators. The findings indicated a widening of the gender gap in performance favouring males. In the second study, teachers' views of the likely impact of the widespread use of CAS calculators were examined. Teachers were generally positive about the introduction of the CAS calculators and their impacts on teaching, student learning, and the curriculum. The implications of the findings of the two studies are discussed. (Contains 4 tables.) JF - Australian Senior Mathematics Journal AU - Forgasz, Helen J.

In this article, the author argues three things: (1) that there can be a substantial disjunction between the assumptions and content of mathematics textbooks and the knowledge and experiences which students draw on in engaging with those texts; (2) that this disjunction applies particularly to those students who are unsuccessful with this form of learning; and (3) that an alternative approach, extending the work of Lave and Wenger (1991) and Wenger (1998) on communities of practice, offers a more inclusive and effective means of promoting mathematical understanding for such students. Forty-three young people took part individually in 20-30 minute semi-structured interviews. The students provided accounts of their experiences of learning mathematics in school and TAFE. Selected excerpts are utilised to demonstrate that shaping of an identity of participation for some students is influenced by the practice of using textbooks in classrooms. Results show that students chose not to participate in their learning because of personal learning difficulties. While this may be the case, a close analysis suggests that these students may never win. That is, despite their efforts to try, learning mathematics from a text, with little or no support from the teacher, just became too difficult. Such taken for granted practices contribute to the maintenance of unequal relations in some mathematics classrooms. In consequence, when students contest or challenge these relations they are either coerced or eliminated from the classroom. In some instances, this exclusion may contribute to students leaving school early. Through this process, students are blamed for their inability to learn, when in fact the opposite may be the case: the taken for granted practice of using textbooks for all learners positions students as have learning difficulties or who are problems in the classroom.

If it continues to be viewed as a passive way to gain information, then its benefit to the learning process will also continue to be under-utilised. The "Read--Think--Do (x2)" model, designed by these authors and described in this article, can be a support to students to become more active readers. However, teachers need to show students how to make use of the model and to encourage them to do so. By having the model on a wall in the classroom, teachers can be reminded to ask questions as their students are reading. Changing students' reading habits will need constant reinforcement and will not occur quickly. (Contains 3 figures and 1 table.)

The four operations are taught and rehearsed in the early years and from this, it is assumed, "children will induce the fundamental structure of arithmetic" (Warren & Pierce, 2004, p. 294). Recent research has shown that the emphasis on computation can actually lead to many misconceptions in the students' minds, which in turn will make the learning of algebra more difficult. This article will focus on two categories of student misconceptions, the first concerns difficulties with the notion of equivalence and the second concerns difficulties with the application of the four operations. The last section of the article presents suggestions on easing the transition to algebra through problem-solving. (Contains 4 figures.)

AN - 62102443; EJ743596 AB - According to this author, the solution to the "phonics versus whole language" debate over the teaching of reading is balance and a focus on the needs of all students. There is similarly a need, in developing numerate young people, to focus on the teaching and learning of mathematics and mathematics skills some of the time, and on application and tasks some of the time (not necessarily at discrete times). Clearly the balance needs to be flexible and dependent on the particular needs of any group of students at any particular time. Inappropriate balance--too much mathematics and not enough application or too much application and not enough mathematics-- will result in students who are not numerate. In this context, this author contends that all teachers of mathematics must also explicitly see themselves as teachers of numeracy. (Contains 3 figures.)

It is hoped that this activity, not only offers teachers great opportunities to either introduce or consolidate certain mathematical concepts and algorithms, but also to convince their students that mathematics plays an important role in various walks of life and hence is a useful and meaningful field of study.

Teachers would need their students to have access to a large database of real data, preferably about students. It would be even better if students were part of the database. Ideally, the data would enable students to ask questions of interest to them. For a teacher, it would be desirable to have a project that meets the requirements of today's curriculum and modern teaching practice. Just for good measure, the project should be able to use technology in a meaningful way. "CensusAtSchool" enables teachers and students to take samples of raw Australia-wide data from a large database that contains the answers to questions that the students have provided, and can be used to investigate questions of interest.

Two novice and two experienced teachers were also interviewed. Data collection focused on the activities the teachers undertook in and out of working hours, and their reactions to them. The range of tasks was found to be extensive, and stretched well beyond formal school hours. There were similarities and differences in the activities and work patterns of the experienced and novice teachers, and in what they found stressful. Administrative tasks were more likely to be the cause of stress for the experienced teachers; teaching-related activities for the novice teachers. (Contains 2 tables and 3 figures.)

During this time, she has gained a relatively comprehensive view of the issues and challenges facing the profession in relation to the improvement of student mathematics and numeracy outcomes. This paper attempts to share these views for the benefit of teachers, schools, school administrators and curriculum developers, in the hope that by articulating the issues some clarity will be achieved which will in turn shape efforts to address them.

Angle bisectors, midpoints, perpendiculars are all straightforward "constructions" for the paper folder. If translucent paper is used it renders easy tasks such as duplicating an angle or a segment to any position desired. Paper folding encourages students toward conjecture and invites the teacher to reflect upon the meaning of proof. Results are made plausible by simple observations associated with the folding of paper. A significant benefit of the paper folding technique is its accessibility to students and the affective benefits this confers. (Contains 1 table.)

Using a task-based, one-to-one interview, administered during the first and last month of the school year, a picture emerged of the mathematical knowledge and understanding that young children bring to school, and the changes in this knowledge and understanding during the first year of school. A major feature of this research was that high quality, robust information on young children's mathematical understanding was collected for so many children. An important finding was that much of what has traditionally formed the mathematics curriculum for the first year of school was already understood clearly by many children on arrival at school. In this article, data on children's understanding are shared, and some implications for classroom practice are discussed. (Contains 12 tables.)

Considering the learning of both children and pre-service teaching students, it examines how mathematical phenomena can be seen as a function of the pedagogical media through which they are encountered. In particular, it shows how pedagogical apparatus influence patterns of social interaction, and how this interaction shapes the mathematical ideas that are engaged with. Notions of conjecture, along with the particular faculty of the spreadsheet setting, are considered with regard to the facilitation of mathematical thinking. Employing an interpretive perspective, a key focus is on how alternative pedagogical media and associated discursive networks influence the way that students form and test informal conjectures.

Data from the students' written responses to the equations, together with data in the form of transcripts of 36 interviews with 18 interviewees (a high performer, a medium performer, and a low performer from each of the six classes), were analysed. Using a rubric for assessing students' understanding, the analysis revealed that at the post-teaching stage students improved their performance on quadratic equations and had a better understanding of associated concepts than they had at the pre-teaching stage. However, many were still confused about the concepts of a variable and of a "solution" to a quadratic equation. After the lessons, most students had acquired neither an instrumental nor a relational understanding of the mathematics associated with solving elementary quadratic equations.

However, many questions about the impact of computer-based technologies on classroom mathematics learning remain unanswered, and debates about when and how they ought to be used continue. An increasing number of studies seek to identify the effects of technology usage on classroom learning, and at a time when governments are calling for "evidence-based" policy development, many studies applying quasi-scientific methodologies to this field of practice are emerging. By analysing a series of conceptual frameworks for assessing the use of computer-based technologies to support school learning, this article emphasises the value of research into the relationship between technical and conceptual aspects of technology use in mathematics education and beyond, and challenges the usefulness of large-scale, quasi-scientific studies that focus on educational inputs and outputs.

Nisbet and Grimbeek (2004) previously reported an interpretable and statistically acceptable 6-factor exploratory factor solution. The present paper improved on this outcome by utilising Rasch analysis to identify items with orderly sequences of scores across response categories, and to subject these to fresh exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The resulting 3-factor scale proved acceptable in terms of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis as well as in terms of Rasch item analysis. The paper briefly discusses the implications of these outcomes in relation to the refined instrument's capacity to gather information about how teachers view the Queensland numeracy reporting system.

This article investigates error patterns that emerge as students attempt to answer questions involving the ability to apply fraction concepts and perform operations on fractions, providing a source to assist teachers in detecting and correcting common mistakes students make when manipulating fractional numbers. The analysis is based on a twenty-five question test covering five categories: (1) Algorithmic applications; (2) Applications of basic fraction concepts in word problems; (3) Elementary algebraic concepts; (4) Specific arithmetic skills that are a prerequisite to algebra; and (5) Comprehension of the structure of rational numbers. Each test question is briefly analyzed and examples of both common and unique errors are included. Implications for practice are discussed and recommendations proposed.

However, evidence from a multitude of research studies shows that students' mathematics learning and their dispositions towards mathematics are indeed influenced--for better or for worse--by the teaching that they experience at school (see Mewborn, 2003, for a review of this research). In other words, teachers "do" matter. It is difficult for researchers to specify exactly how different types of teaching and teacher qualities affect student achievement because this would require untangling the complicated relationships that exist between teacher characteristics, teaching practices, and student learning. Nevertheless, the general trends in these relationships are clear. In this article, the author illustrates some of these trends by drawing on her experiences in working with pre-service and practicing mathematics teachers and their students. In doing so, she proposes three reasons why teachers matter. She then gives some examples of "how" teachers can matter to their students in a more practical sense. (Contains 3 figures and 1 table.)

The teacher engaged in two model-eliciting activities designed for teachers by creating a library of his students' work and an accompanying "Ways of Thinking"[WOT] sheet (Doerr & Lesh, 2003). These activities were designed to help reveal the teachers' models of students' algebraic thinking and to promote the development of that model. Results of the analysis showed that the teacher developed a clearer understanding of the role of a variable in algebraic instruction. The teacher employed visual strategies for the first time and began to perceive their usefulness in helping students understand the equivalence of two expressions. (Contains 8 figures.)

In this article, it is argued that a greater and more explicit focus on teachers' beliefs would be beneficial. To this end, an overview of aspects of the understandings of the nature of beliefs is presented followed by findings from a recent study that examined mathematics teachers' beliefs and their impact on classroom practice. Finally, implications for mathematics teachers and those involved in designing and implementing professional learning for both teachers and pre-service teachers are suggested.

These students were examined over 18 instructional sessions using a teaching experiment methodology. The results highlighted the complex factors that appeared to influence student strategy use, which included: (a) input value, (b) mathematical structure of the task, (c) prior strategies, (d) visual image of the situation, and (e) social interactions with the teacher and other student. Particular combinations of these factors appeared to increase the predictability of student strategy use. However, the complex nature of the factors influencing these strategies demonstrates the challenges that exist in encouraging students to move toward more sophisticated strategies.

We analysed three lessons taught with the same class by a teacher-researcher. The first and second lessons were 10 months apart, the second and third lessons were 6 months apart. For each of the three lessons the analysis was carried out at two levels: macro-level analysis was applied to the general organisation of the inquiry-based lesson and micro-level analysis was applied to both the teacher's structure of the discussion and to the quality of the discussion. Based on the two-level analysis we formulate criteria to define teacher proficiency and demonstrate the enhancement of proficiency through teaching. (Contains 7 figures.)

The focus of the study was to look at factors that contributed to girls' disengagement with mathematics study and seek pedagogical solutions for this. The key mathematics concepts embedded in the two interventions were proportional reasoning and ratio. A design based research methodology was adopted. The study started with the assumption that by integrating mathematics study with technology practice students would see the mathematics as authentic and understandable. The results of the first intervention indicated that a significant proportion of the girls did not develop the hoped for improvement in perceptions about the value of studying mathematics through technology practice, despite an improvement in their understanding of proportion and ratio. These results informed the second intervention in which modified tasks and pedagogy were implemented. The results of the second intervention were similar in terms of cognitive outcomes. However, when students were given explicit scaffolding in "within" and "beyond" the domain of mathematics integration as well as tasks that they considered authentic, student perceptions of mathematics study improved.

It is highly probable that each year in their classrooms teachers will have students that are advanced in mathematics and this will pose a challenge for them as teachers to meet their learning needs. Johnson (2000) states that, due to the sequential nature of mathematical content, pacing becomes a problem. If the situation does not change it is possible that gifted and talented students' interests in mathematics may be snuffed out and their talent may not be developed if they are not challenged. It is incorrect to conclude that they do not require special attention since it is easy for them to learn what they need to know. On the contrary, their needs dictate curriculum that is deeper, broader, and faster than what is delivered to other students. This article seeks to examine studies conducted to find the best approach to cater to advanced mathematics students, and based on the findings, to suggest possible solutions for meeting their learning needs.

A number of rhymes and folk tales lend themselves to more detailed analysis by students to uncover mathematical ideas. Here, a number of examples are given for finding patterns, mapping and measurement, and estimating--all critical aspects of mathematics. (Contains 3 figures and 1 note.)

Learning objects are small, reusable digital resources that can be used with a web browser. Teachers in the trial used learning objects related to fractions, addition, subtraction, and area. TLF is a project jointly funded by the Australian Government, the states and territories, and New Zealand, with the aim of producing high quality, interactive multimedia curriculum content that supports student learning. The online content is being made freely available to all state, independent, and catholic schools in Australia and New Zealand. Based on the latest research in mathematics education and pedagogy, the resources focus on the parts of mathematics that are often the most difficult for students to learn and for teachers to teach. In this article, the authors draw upon the experiences of teachers using learning objects for the first time to demonstrate their potential for enhancing the quality of their teaching and student learning.

AN - 61932251; EJ793941 AB - Teachers often encounter difficulty in teaching estimation of measurement to young children. The intention when teaching the typical "jelly bean jar" classroom activity is to help children develop estimation skills, but most children cannot conceptualise the difference between guessing and estimating. The fact is that many students view estimation as a difficult technique where their success is measured by how close their own estimation is to the teacher's estimation; a misconception that is far removed from the useful and practical experience estimating should be (Muir, 2005). The NSW Board of Studies (2002) emphasises the importance of children's participation in estimation activities through extensive practice. Teachers need to provide students with opportunities to improve their number, spatial, and measurement sense through experiential estimation. Hence, the intention of this article is to illustrate that estimation is a skill that is practical and relevant to student's lives, and to provide teachers with some purposeful strategies to help develop their students' skills in estimation.

For example, the NSW Mathematics K-6 syllabus states by year six students should be able manipulate, classify and draw two-dimensional shapes and describe side and angle properties. The reality is, that due to the pressure for students to achieve mastery in number, teachers often spend less time teaching about the other aspects of mathematics, especially shape (Becker, 2003; Horne, 2003). Hence, there is a need to modify the focus of mathematics education to incorporate other aspects of mathematics including shape and especially polygons. In this article, the author looks at the teaching and learning of polygons in primary classrooms by providing some essential information about polygons and some useful teaching strategies and resources.

In National Literacy and Numeracy Week 2002, the Commonwealth Bank e-Learning Grants program was launched, and has continued annually since then, providing a total of $350 000 funding each year for literacy and numeracy e-learning projects in Australian primary schools. In the first year, applications were submitted by 1300 Government, Catholic and Independent schools, which represented almost 20% of all primary schools in Australia. Four hundred and sixty-four schools provided consent for the information contained in their applications to be analysed with the purpose of determining the characteristics of e-learning in this context. This article presents a description of the nature of the projects that focused on using ICT to support the teaching and learning of mathematics and numeracy (e-learning). The innovative ideas these schools proposed might encourage or inspire other teachers to attempt similar uses of ICT in their mathematics programs. (Contains 1 figure.)

Padberg (2002) outlined the situation that existed in Germany, where students were introduced to decimal fractions in the sixth year of school. He claimed that it was assumed students would have a deep understanding of decimals because of their prior knowledge of decimals through real life associations. Germany, like Australia, operates around a decimal system, and students are frequently seeing and working with decimals in everyday situations. When decimals were introduced into the classroom, Padberg (2002) noted that it was assumed the students would easily make the transition from this real life experience to abstract notation and demonstrate a deep understanding of the concept of decimals. The results of the research, however, indicated that students did not easily make this transition from the real life concrete experiences to abstract notation used in the classroom. The author's experience as a classroom teacher in the middle years of schooling supports the conclusions of Padberg, that despite the evidence of decimals in real life and the frequent use of decimals in written and spoken form, students do not translate this background knowledge across to abstract contexts in the classroom. Thus, in this article, she describes a sequence of activities to help develop students' understandings of decimal fractions. (Contains 4 figures.)

AN - 61923077; EJ793928 AB - About fifteen years ago, the author discovered an interesting activity in some materials that Malcolm Swan from the Shell Centre (University of Nottingham, UK) had developed for the English National Curriculum Council in 1991. The activity, one which has been used by several presenters in professional development workshops in Australia in recent years, involves sharing chocolate in a problem solving context. In this article, the author describes one way that he uses this exercise with teachers and middle school students: the chocolate block task. This task allows an exploration of the construct of fractions that is very useful but often neglected. The reader is invited to try any of the problems given in this article with individuals, small groups, or the entire class, and to explore their potential for assessing and developing student understanding, leading to a broader, more connected, and applicable notion of fractions.

Online resources are potentially useful compared to normal courseware because of their abundance, availability at no cost, platform-free accessibility, and wide reaching accessibility. On the other hand, a major limitation of online resources is their lack of appropriate pedagogy, coupled with poor instructional design and layout. This article discusses the development of evaluation criteria for online resources and provides practical information about some key websites. The article deals with issues associated with the interface design, navigation, and user's control of an online resource. It indicates how evaluation forms and checklists can be practical tools for teachers to identify positive and negative design features of an online resource. (Contains 14 figures and 1 note.)

Many teachers have witnessed how useful games are for tuning-in students to the impending mathematics lesson. However, have teachers considered playing games as the central part of the lesson? This article explores the benefits and negative impact of games in the classroom, and recommends a calculator game that encouraged Year 5 and 6 children to challenge their misconceptions of the multiplication and division of decimals.

"Principles and Standards for School Mathematics" (NCTM, 2000) recommends using concrete models and physical materials before moving on to more abstract ideas. However, some children still have difficulties understanding concepts even with the help of manipulatives. How can teachers supplement the use of manipulatives to help boost children's understanding in mathematics? Zemelman, Daniels, and Hyde (1998) recommend that students discuss, write, read, and listen to mathematical ideas in order to deepen their understanding of difficult concepts. Using storytelling as a catalyst to mathematics instruction is one enjoyable and versatile method to do just this. This article describes how storytelling can be used to introduce difficult mathematics concepts to students in primary classrooms and includes a vignette from two researchers. This story and others like its offers creative options to help children understand mathematics better.

A review of this initiative states that "Richardson is the first school in the ACT, and probably Australia, where the total school community, the students, staff and parents, has embraced a new approach to the use of ICT, which enhances the holistic education of the students... The Richardson effort represents a near revolution in the use of ICT in schools". Early in 2005, Richardson Primary School was awarded one of the Federal Government's National Awards for Quality Schooling for Outstanding School Improvement based on the results achieved using interactive whiteboards. This article describes the new style of pedagogy that was developed to take advantage of this technology with particular reference to the teaching of mathematics. (Contains 3 figures.)

In their research, the authors have found the young children can engage in conversations about equivalence and equations (Warren & Cooper, 2005a) and functional thinking (Warren & Cooper, 2005b). Fundamental to relations and transformations is the concept of the function, that is, how the value of certain quantities relate to the value of other quantities (Chazan, 1996), or how values are changed or mapped to other quantities, referred to in the literature as co-variational thinking. This paper reports on some recent classroom teaching that attempts to examine repeating patterns and use children's understandings of repeating pattern to begin to explore concepts related to functional thinking.

Statistical literacy is a competency: the ability to think critically about statistics" (Schield, p. 2). When a definition of statistical literacy is considered it can be seen that all students can manage a level of statistical literacy. Learning to read and interpret data provided in various forms such as tables and graphs is fundamental to the development of statistical literacy. Data gathering and interpreting activities such as those outlined in this article are designed to allow children not only to collect data but sort and organise data and then interpret data. The ability to analyse and interpret data is crucial in the development of a statistically literate population. (Contains 13 figures.)

If educators teach students to understand the procedures they practice, however, they will not need as much drill and they will have more flexible use of the computations they perform. Three-quarters of a century ago, William Brownell began arguing for meaningful arithmetic. In this article, the authors describe some of Brownell's ideas about children's understanding of school arithmetic. They include transcripts of Brownell-inspired individual interviews with two second-grade students that illustrate one method for assessing computational understanding.

This study integrates the three strands. The nature of the discourse during an online case discussion among prospective secondary teachers is analysed. The case focused on the teaching and learning of a version of a classic statistical sampling problem. Participants formed several threads of conversation in discussing the case. During the online discussion, the prospective teachers conversed about multiple elements embedded in the case, including: mathematical issues, assessment of students, pedagogical strategies, the context of the case, and writing choices made by the case author. The discussion also contained substantive contributions from individuals who were normally silent in face-to-face class sessions, and allowed extended time for participants to craft responses to one another.

They completed three surveys: an achievement test of the mathematics they would be expected to teach; a survey of their beliefs about mathematics, mathematics teaching and mathematics learning; and a survey of their attitudes towards mathematics. The experiences and beliefs of pre-service teachers influence the formation of attitudes and these, in turn, influence their classroom practices and beliefs. These beliefs, attitudes and practices may sometimes be at variance with the main direction of their tertiary teaching methods courses. Thus, it is crucial in assisting pre-service teachers to understand their own beliefs, attitudes and practices, and that these are made explicit and examined. This paper reports the data from the achievement test, belief survey and the attitude survey, and investigates the relationships between these data. The results from this study show some connections, although relatively weak, among the three constructs and lead us to speculate on possible reasons for these. (Contains 6 tables.)

Many have suggested that these experiences are very powerful in shaping pre-service teachers' views of teaching because they are perceived as being "real" as opposed to the "artificial" environment of the tertiary courses. This can mean that the practicum experiences can legitimate or negate the learning of the tertiary courses. In particular, pre-service teachers can make significant positive changes in their affective responses to mathematics, but the longevity and stability of these changes can be challenged through their school-based practicum experiences.

We discuss a range of errors, strategies and misconceptions made across different strands of the mathematics curriculum and show that pre-service teachers are making the same errors as children. A second sample of 86 pre-service teachers in England was used to validate the test. We also describe how these pre-service teachers in the second year of their program made sense of their personalised diagnostic profile from the test in order to develop their mathematics subject knowledge.

Two aspects of the use of the profile are reported. One relates to the aims of the profile to reflect Lee Shulman?s seven types of teacher knowledge and to measure change in teachers with respect to them. The second relates to the success of the program and how this was judged from responses to the profile. Although the providers of the program were mainly interested in this second aspect, mathematics educators more generally should be more interested in the first due to recent trends to demand evidence-based evaluations of teacher professional development programs.

Following a brief history of the Bruneian monarchy, its attempts to achieve legitimacy according to the principle of Negara Melayu Islam Beraja (Malay Islamic monarchy) is examined, highlighting the role of this national philosophy in helping stabilize this multiethnic & multireligious state. Stages in the processes of religious & ethnocultural legitimization are outlined & implications for the future stability of the state are considered. References. K.

This standard chronology is challenged for its assumption that the nationalist project was completely voluntary & noncoercive & enjoyed widespread popular support. The impact of Dutch colonial repression, 1928-1942, in limiting participation in & support for the nationalist agenda is explored, drawing largely on two novels from the period recently rediscovered & republished in the post-Suharto climate of openness. Both supply new insights into the public imagination & role of Sino-Indonesians in the political & cultural landscape of the colonial era. K.

Focus is on their treatment of the domestic space of the home & household & ideas on how individual autonomy in the private sphere extended to rights of ownership in the public sphere & the notion of a Malay homeland. Ways that such narratives experimented with new styles, structures, & characters to evolve as a new genre of prose fiction -- the novel -- by the late 1940s are demonstrated. Differences between the style & purpose of such fiction & that of nonfiction works published by Malay intellectuals or "ideologues" in various newspapers & journals are described; common themes centered on the benefits of modernity are also identified.

Attention is given to outlining problems with Clifford Geertz's (1963) work on Java before considering new population statistics for 19th- & early-20th-century Java, which reveal a picture far different from the received view. Data quality & methodological issues related to this statistical data are discussed before looking at the speculative character of the received view's treatment of demographic factors underlying Japanese population growth. It is argued that there is evidence that people worked to keep fertility under marriage through various means, eg, late marriage, which contributed to much lower population growth. Focus turns to the demographic-economic interaction, particularly post-1830 economic change, which produced what is suggested to be a homeostatic demographic regime in Java. Tables, Figures. D.

In view of the world events of the past several years, the demand on organizations to have dynamic disaster preparedness and management systems in place is growing exponentially as the immediate and long-term effects and the potential disruptive impact of natural disasters, acts and threats of terrorism, and other crisis situations has increased for organizations, the workplace and the work force. Whether the employer is an international private sector enterprise, an independent labor organization, a governmental agency, or a small non-profit entity, the demands on work organizations and their employees is extensive in times of crisis or when responding to a specific disaster or traumatic incident, whether natural or man-made. As evident by the advent of an entire industry of consultants and organizations providing disaster preparedness, planning, response, and management services, the workplace has indeed become the playing field for a patchwork of disaster and trauma related services and strategies, many of which are disparate and disconnected from the very work force upon which the execution of the disaster response plan or the continuity of business operations is dependent. This author will build upon the conclusions of a recent study indicating that the "human capital" dimensions of disaster preparedness and management are often overlooked in such planning and execution efforts, while advancing the idea that employee assistance programs provide not only a logical but an ideal fit for that void. By offering some examples from one federal EAP's evolving efforts in this area, the author will offer a discussion of various approaches, strategies, activities, and partnerships that an EAP affords the employee assistance practitioner-a collection of capabilities that are inherent in the very conceptual framework and fundamental premise on which EAPs in the workplace have been built, and of the possibilities that can be realized as that EAP becomes well-positioned and fully integrated into the workplace, bringing value to and providing vital resources to the work organization and the work force in preparation for, response to, and management of disasters, traumatic events and other crisis situations to which more and more employers and labor organizations around the globe are prone-ultimately enhancing the value of the EAP to the organization and to their collective continuity of operations planning and execution.

AN - 59954495; 2007-00040 AB - While most policymakers believe that domestic labor, not domestic capital, bears most of the long-term burden of a corporate income tax in an open economy due to the ability of capital to move across borders, this study, using imperfect product substitution with a multi-sector open-economy model, demonstrates that much of the burden may fall on capital. However, if savings falls sufficiently, much of the burden shifts to labor, but this is also true in a closed economy. Adapted from the source document.

The parable Hikayat Panglima Nikosa, written by an administrative official/school headmaster Encik Ahmad Shawal bin Abdul Hamidis, is analyzed in terms of its understanding of zaman ini (present age) & how it attempted to reorient the Malay people from religion & ritual to more secular & economic concerns. Support for Shawal's ideas is found in issues of the Sarawak Gazette published during the 1870s. References. K.

Though "combatants on both sides are declaring victory" in this war & declaring the battle over (or, as some claim, never a reality to begin with), it is suggested that the war has merely shifted direction. Proclamations by conservatives that they have created alternatives in areas that were once exclusively liberal domains -- cable TV, the Internet, & book publishing -- are rejected; both antiliberal & anticonservative elements of the new "South Park conservatism" are exposed, as are the fictions behind alleged returns to "family values" & "traditional morality." Rather, it is argued that deeper structural problems in society are becoming manifest, eg, the replacement of the traditional institution of marriage with "hooking up." Examples of the "vulgarization of high culture" & the "degradation of popular culture" are examined, & it is concluded that, though conservatives may be "winning the war" over one sense of culture, they are losing the war over popular culture by default & "willful inattention.".

We All Do AN - 59726693; 200700150 AB - In this article in the symposium on UN Reform, the author reflects on the current US/UN relationship that struggles in an environment of global threats very different from the international environment at the advent of the international organization sixty years ago. Terrorism, HIV/AIDS, and environmental degradation are asserted to require international cooperation & coordination of the 191 member states. The two overriding national security challenges of America, defined as radical fundamentalism & weapons of mass destruction (WMD), also require alliances & enforcement of rules that failed in the approach to Iraq, but can be the basis for dealing with Iran. The stabilizing role of the UN in war-stricken regions through provision of aid & disaster relief, is contrasted with the need for structural reforms. The US is concluded to benefit from an effective UN, and the vision of the founders presented in Article One of the UN Charter is more important than ever. J.

AN - 57685962; 481891 AB - This paper explores cataloging in the Age of Google. It considers what the technologies now being adopted mean for cataloging in the future. The author begins by exploring how digital-era students do research - they find using Google easier than using libraries. Mass digitization projects now are bringing into question the role that library cataloging has traditionally performed. The author asks readers to consider if the detailed attention librarians have been paying to descriptive cataloging can still be justified, and if cost-effective means for access should be considered.

This study examined the combined influence of media and peer factors. The participants were 100 girls aged nine to 12 years. The girls completed questionnaire measures of media exposure (television and magazines), peer influences (appearance norms, appearance conversations), internalization and body dissatisfaction. Their height and weight were also measured. About half (49 percent) of the girls displayed a desire to be thinner. The influence of socio-cultural factors was confirmed in addition to biological determinants, such as body mass index. Their exposure to appearance-focused media was not directly related to their body dissatisfaction, but was indirectly related via their conversations about appearance among peers. The path analysis showed that peer appearance conversations demonstrated a significant relationship with internalization of thin ideals, which was, in turn, significantly related to body dissatisfaction. Like their adolescent counterparts, preadolescent girls are also exposed to appearance ideals presented in the media and manifested among peers. The results provided evidence for the existence of an 'appearance culture' consisting of interrelated media and peer influences among girls as young as nine to 12 years of age.

Special attention is given to the significant increase in the number of orphans & HIV-infected children as a result of Zimbabwe's extremely high rate of infection. The papers in this issue provide a comprehensive assessment of program gaps & key priority issues that must be addressed. Taken together, they present a clear picture of the destructiveness of the loss & separation generated by the AIDS/HIV epidemic; efforts currently underway to help orphans & other vulnerable children; & policy issues that need urgent action & additional resources. The goal is to encourage policymakers, donors, researchers, & communities to find new ways to address the challenges presented by orphans & other vulnerable children. J.

In order to obtain variables that discriminate between offenders with different classes of victim, data were coded from 324 files of child sexual offenders from a community-based sexual offender treatment program. Offenders with single or multiple victims were compared, as were offenders who did or did not offend against victims of both genders, and offenders with only intra-familial or extra-familial victims versus offenders with victims in both relationship categories. Variables that discriminated single-victim and multiple-victim offenders were similar to those identified in actuarial risk assessment scales, with the exception of history of childhood sexual abuse. With the exception of physical abuse history, the same variables discriminated specific offender groups according to victim gender and victim relationship, although in different combinations. There was limited support for the notion of specific risk variables. Adapted from the source document.

This study investigated how the impact of stealing thunder on mock-juror judgments varied with the processing resources available to mock-jurors. Stealing thunder, thunder and no thunder conditions were contrasted under conditions that were conducive to central route processing (high elaboration) or only permitted peripheral processing (low elaboration). Results indicated that stealing thunder reduced the likelihood of guilty verdicts under peripheral, but not central route, processing conditions. Further, it appeared to do so by eliciting positive perceptions of source credibility that were then used as a peripheral cue supporting the arguments of the source. Adapted from the source document.

However, these technologies are relatively new, and their applications require further investigations. When investigators apply these technologies to in vitro experiments, two major issues need to be clarified: a) can in vitro toxicity studies, in combination with genomics analyses, be used to predict the toxicity of a compound; and b) are the generated toxicogenomics data reproducible between laboratories? These questions were addressed by an interlaboratory study with laboratories of four pharmaceutical companies. We evaluated gene expression patterns from cultured rat primary hepatocytes after a 24-hr incubation with methapyrilene (MP). Extensive data analysis showed that comparison of genomics data from different sources is complex because both experimental and statistical variability are important confounding factors. However, appropriate statistical tools allowed us to use gene expression profiles to distinguish high-dose-treated cells from vehicle-treated cells. Moreover, we correctly identified MP in an independently generated in vitro database, underlining that in vitro toxicogenomics could be a predictive tool for toxicity. From a mechanistic point of view, despite the observed site-to-site variability, there was good concordance regarding the affected biologic processes. Several subsets of regulated genes were obtained by analyzing the data sets with one method or using different statistical analysis methods. The identified genes are involved in cellular processes that are associated to the exposure of primary hepatocytes to MP. Whether they are specific for MP and are cause or consequence of the toxicity requires further investigations.

There were no reported symptoms or adverse health effects in exposed children. The literature available on the safety and risk of exposure to crumb rubber constituents was limited and revealed no information quantifying exposures associated with product use. Callers were informed by the PEHSU that no evidence existed suggesting harm from intended use of the product, but gaps in knowledge about the product were identified and communicated. Here the case of crumb rubber on playgrounds is used as a model to present an approach to similar environmental medicine questions. From defining the question, to surveying traditional and nontraditional resources for information, synthesis of findings, and risk communication, the case provides a model to approach similar questions.

Our analysis aimed to evaluate the relation between water fluoridation method and PbB concentrations in children. We used PbB concentration data (n=9,477) from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1988-1994) for children 1-16 years of age, merged with water fluoridation data from the 1992 Fluoridation Census. The main outcome measure was geometric mean PbB concentration, and covariates included age, sex, race/ethnicity, poverty status, urbanicity, and length of time living in residence. Geometric mean PbB concentrations for each water fluoridation method were 2.40 microg/dL (sodium silicofluoride), 2.34 microg/dL (hydrofluosilicic acid), 1.78 microg/dL (sodium fluoride), 2.24 microg/dL (natural fluoride and no fluoride), and 2.14 microg/dL (unknown/mixed status). In multiple linear and logistic regression, there was a statistical interaction between water fluoridation method and year in which dwelling was built. Controlling for covariates, water fluoridation method was significant only in the models that included dwellings built before 1946 and dwellings of unknown age. Across stratum-specific models for dwellings of known age, neither hydrofluosilicic acid nor sodium silicofluoride were associated with higher geometric mean PbB concentrations or prevalence values. Given these findings, our analyses, though not definitive, do not support concerns that silicofluorides in community water systems cause higher PbB concentrations in children. Current evidence does not provide a basis for changing water fluoridation practices, which have a clear public health benefit.

In the present study we examined the effects of OCs on immunity in free-ranging loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta). Mitogen-induced lymphocyte proliferation responses, lysozyme activity, and OC concentrations were measured from blood samples. Mitogens chosen in the lymphocyte proliferation assay were phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and concanavalin A (ConA) for T-lymphocyte stimulation, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDB) for B-lymphocyte stimulation. Lysozyme activity was significantly and negatively correlated with whole-blood concentrations of 4,4 -dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (4,4 -DDE) and the sum of chlordanes. Lymphocyte proliferation responses stimulated by PHA, LPS, and PDB were significantly and positively correlated with concentrations of the sum of PCBs measured in whole blood. LPS- and PDB-induced proliferation were also significantly and positively correlated with 4,4 -DDE blood concentrations. These correlative observations in free-ranging turtles suggest that current, chronic exposure to OCs may suppress innate immunity and enhance certain lymphocyte functions of loggerhead sea turtles. To further test this hypothesis, lymphocyte proliferation was measured after in vitro exposure of peripheral blood leukocytes from 16 turtles to Aroclor 1254 (0-13.5 microg/mL) or 4,4 -DDE (0-13.4 microg/mL). Both contaminants increased PHA- and PDB-induced proliferation at concentrations below those that affected cell viability. Moreover, the concentrations that enhanced PDB-induced proliferation in vitro were similar to concentrations measured in turtles with the highest proliferative responses. The similarities between the in vitro experiments and the correlative field study suggest that OC exposure modulates immunity in loggerhead turtles.

To investigate the toxic effects of environmental DU exposure on the immune system, we examined the influences of DU (in the form of uranyl nitrate) on viability and immune function as well as cytokine gene expression in murine peritoneal macrophages and splenic CD4+ T cells. Macrophages and CD4+ T cells were exposed to various concentrations of DU, and cell death via apoptosis and necrosis was analyzed using annexin-V/propidium iodide assay. DU cytotoxicity in both cell types was concentration dependent, with macrophage apoptosis and necrosis occurring within 24 hr at 100 microM DU exposure, whereas CD4+ T cells underwent cell death at 500 microM DU exposure. Noncytotoxic concentrations for macrophages and CD4+ T cells were determined as 50 and 100 microM, respectively. Lymphoproliferation analysis indicated that macrophage accessory cell function was altered with 200 microM DU after exposure times as short as 2 hr. Microarray and real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analyses revealed that DU alters gene expression patterns in both cell types. The most differentially expressed genes were related to signal transduction, such as c-jun, NF- kappa Bp65, neurotrophic factors (e.g., Mdk), chemokine and chemokine receptors (e.g., TECK/CCL25), and interleukins such as IL-10 and IL-5, indicating a possible involvement of DU in cancer development, autoimmune diseases, and T helper 2 polarization of T cells. The results are a first step in identifying molecular targets for the toxicity of DU and the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms for the immune modulation ability of DU.

The measurements of gene expression levels upon exposure to a chemical can be used both to provide information about the mechanism of action of the toxicant and to form a sort of "genetic signature" for the identification of toxic products. The development of high-quality, commercially available gene arrays has allowed this technology to become a standard tool in molecular toxicology. Several national and international initiatives have provided the proof-of-principle tests for the application of gene expression for the study of the toxicity of new and existing chemical compounds. In the last few years the field has progressed from evaluating the potential of the technology to illustrating the practical use of gene expression profiling in toxicology. The application of gene expression profiling to ecotoxicology is at an earlier stage, mainly because of the the many variables involved in analyzing the status of natural populations. Nevertheless, significant studies have been carried out on the response to environmental stressors both in model and in nonmodel organisms. It can be easily predicted that the development of stressor-specific signatures in gene expression profiling in ecotoxicology will have a major impact on the ecotoxicology field in the near future. International collaborations could play an important role in accelerating the application of genomic approaches in ecotoxicology.

We administered a questionnaire on IAQ programs and practices to a representative sample of schools. Participants were asked to provide information on the use, administration, implementation, challenges, and benefits of the IAQ program in their school. We developed an IAQ Practice Index to determine the level of activity directed toward IAQ in schools. The index was computed based on responses to specific survey questions and was normalized to a range of 0 to 100. Each question was weighted qualitatively according to its contribution to strong IAQ management practices. Forty-two percent of schools in the United States have an IAQ management program, and there has been sustained growth from 1998 through 2002 in the number of schools that have such programs. Nearly half of those schools use the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's IAQ Tools for Schools program. The IAQ Practice Index scores varied widely for schools with an IAQ management program, suggesting that having a program is not equivalent to implementing effective IAQ policies and procedures. Respondents indicated that their IAQ programs led to improved workplace satisfaction, fewer asthma attacks, fewer visits to the school nurse, and lower absenteeism. When actively supported by the school administration, an IAQ program appears to be a valuable factor in improving the learning environment for U.S. schoolchildren.

We exposed rhesus monkeys to ETS during gestation and through 13 months postnatally, or postnatally only (6-13 months). At the conclusion of exposure, we examined cerebrocortical regions and the midbrain for cell damage markers and lipid peroxidation. For perinatal ETS, two archetypal patterns were seen in the various regions, one characterized by cell loss (reduced DNA concentration) and corresponding increases in cell size (increased protein/DNA ratio), and a second pattern suggesting replacement of larger neuronal cells with smaller and more numerous glia (increased DNA concentration, decreased protein/DNA ratio). The membrane/total protein ratio, a biomarker of neurite formation, also indicated potential damage to neuronal projections, accompanied by reactive sprouting. When ETS exposure was restricted to the postnatal period, the effects were similar in regional selectivity, direction, and magnitude. These patterns resemble the effects of prenatal nicotine exposure in rodent and primate models. Surprisingly, perinatal ETS exposure reduced the level of lipid peroxidation as assessed by the concentration of thiobarbituric acid reactive species, whereas postnatal ETS did not. The heart, a tissue that, like the brain, has high oxygen demand, displayed a similar but earlier decrease (2-3 months) in lipid peroxidation in the perinatal exposure model, whereas values were reduced at 13 months with the postnatal exposure paradigm. Our results provide a mechanistic connection between perinatal ETS exposure and neurobehavioral anomalies, reinforce the role of nicotine in these effects, and buttress the importance of restricting or eliminating ETS exposure in young children.

However, it is likely that family-room dust endotoxin was a surrogate for airborne endotoxin exposure. Therefore, a related substudy characterized the relationship between levels of airborne household endotoxin and the level of endotoxin present in house dust, in addition to identifying other significant predictors of airborne endotoxin in the home. We now reexamine the relationship between endotoxin exposure and wheeze under the assumption that the level of airborne endotoxin in the home is the exposure of interest and that the amount of endotoxin in household dust is a surrogate for this exposure. We applied a measurement error correction technique, using all available data to estimate the effect of endotoxin exposure in terms of airborne concentration and accounting for the measurement error induced by using house-dust endotoxin as a surrogate measure in the portion of the data in which airborne endotoxin could not be directly measured. After adjusting for confounding by lower respiratory infection status and race/ethnicity, endotoxin exposure was found to be significantly associated with a nearly 6-fold increase in prevalence of wheeze for a one interquartile range increase in airborne endotoxin (95% confidence interval, 1.2-26) among the 360 children in households with dust endotoxin levels between the 5th and 95th percentiles.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the hormonal status of wild fish in a U.S. river receiving unbleached kraft and recycled pulp mill effluent (Pearl River at Bogalusa, LA). We evaluated two alternative hypotheses: the effluent contained constituents that suppressed male and female reproduction, or it contained an androgenic substance that masculinized females. To evaluate the likelihood of fish exposure to effluent, we marked 697 longear sunfish (Lepomis megalotis) over a 2-year period; 83% of recaptured fish were found at the site of initial capture, and only one fish migrated from an effluent-receiving site to a reference site. We can reasonably assume that fish captured from an effluent-receiving site are residents, not transitory migrants. To diagnose endocrine disruption, we measured sex steroid hormone [17beta-estradiol (E2), testosterone (T), and 11-ketotestosterone (11KT)] and vitellogenin (VTG) concentrations in male and female longear sunfish captured at two sites upstream and two sites downstream of the effluent outfall. Kraft pulp mill effluent did not affect male reproductive physiology but did suppress female T and VTG levels when effluent constitutedor=1% of river flow. Masculinization was not observed. Longear sunfish in the Pearl River experience moderate reproductive suppression in response to unbleached kraft and recycled pulp mill effluent.

As a first step in assessing this phenomenon, we compared mercury vapor concentration in common areas of residential buildings versus outdoor air, in two New Jersey cities where mercury is available and is used in cultural practices. We measured mercury using a portable atomic absorption spectrometer capable of quantitative measurement from 2 ng/m3 mercury vapor. We evaluated the interior hallways in 34 multifamily buildings and the vestibule in an additional 33 buildings. Outdoor mercury vapor averaged 5 ng/m3; indoor mercury was significantly higher (mean 25 ng/m3; p0.001); 21% of buildings had mean mercury vapor concentration in hallways that exceeded the 95th percentile of outdoor mercury vapor concentration (17 ng/m3), whereas 35% of buildings had a maximum mercury vapor concentration that exceeded the 95th percentile of outdoor mercury concentration. The highest indoor average mercury vapor concentration was 299 ng/m3, and the maximum point concentration was 2,022 ng/m3. In some instances, we were able to locate the source, but we could not specifically attribute the elevated levels of mercury vapor to cultural use or other specific mercury releases. However, these findings provide sufficient evidence of indoor mercury source(s) to warrant further investigation.

ICDs also detect paroxysmal atrial fibrillation episodes (PAF) that result in rapid ventricular rates. In this same cohort of ICD patients, we assessed the association between ambient air pollution and episodes of PAF. DESIGN: We performed a case-crossover study. PARTICIPANTS: Patients who lived in the Boston, Massachusetts, metropolitan area and who had ICDs implanted between June 1995 and December 1999 (n=203) were followed until July 2002. EVALUATIONS/MEASUREMENTS: We used conditional logistic regression to explore the association between community air pollution and 91 electrophysiologist-confirmed episodes of PAF among 29 subjects. RESULTS: We found a statistically significant positive association between episodes of PAF and increased ozone concentration (22 ppb) in the hour before the arrhythmia (odds ratio=2.08; 95% confidence interval=1.22, 3.54; p=0.001). The risk estimate for a longer (24-hr) moving average was smaller, thus suggesting an immediate effect. Positive but not statistically significant risks were associated with fine particles, nitrogen dioxide, and black carbon. CONCLUSIONS: Increased ambient O3 pollution was associated with increased risk of episodes of rapid ventricular response due to PAF, thereby suggesting that community air pollution may be a precipitant of these events.

By means of an E-screen assay, we detected the proliferation-promoting capacity of the fluorotelomer alcohols 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctan-1-ol (6:2 FTOH) and 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluoro-decan-1-ol (8:2 FTOH). The more widely environmentally distributed compounds perfluoro-1-octane sulfonate, perfluorooctanoic acid, and perfluorononanoic acid did not seem to possess this hormone-dependent proliferation capacity. We investigated cell cycle dynamics using flow cytometric analyses of the DNA content of the nuclei of MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Exposure to both fluorotelomer alcohols stimulated resting MCF-7 cells to reenter the synthesis phase (S-phase) of the cell cycle. After only 24 hr of treatment, we observed significant increases in the percentage of cells in the S-phase. In order to further investigate the resemblance of the newly detected xenoestrogens to the reference compound 17beta-estradiol (E2), gene expression of a number of estrogen-responsive genes was analyzed by real-time polymerase chain reaction. With E2, as well as 4-nonylphenol and the fluorotelomer alcohols, we observed up-regulation of trefoil factor 1, progesterone receptor, and PDZK1 and down-regulation of ERBB2 gene expression. We observed small but relevant up-regulation of the estrogen receptor as a consequence of exposures to 6:2 FTOH or 8:2 FTOH. The latter finding suggests an alternative mode of action of the fluorotelomer alcohols compared with that of E2. This study clearly underlines the need for future in vivo testing for specific endocrine-related end points.

As a result, large chunks of the state's marshes and wetlands, which once protected coastal communities from hurricanes, have disappeared in the last century. Several recent reports have focused on the wetland loss and the potential for restoring them, and some limited governmental efforts have already addressed rebuilding Louisiana's wetlands. The losses inflicted by Hurricane Katrina have added urgency to finding ways to restore this natural defense system.

Atlantic tomcod (Microgadus tomcod) from the Hudson River, New York, are exposed to high concentrations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and bioaccumulate polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs). They have developed resistance to PCBs and PCDDs but not to PAHs. Resistance is largely heritable and manifests at early-life-stage toxic end points and in inducibility of cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A) mRNA expression. Because CYP1A induction is activated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) pathway, as are most toxic responses to these compounds, we sought to determine the geographic extent of resistance to CYP1A mRNA induction by PCBs in the Hudson River tomcod population. Samples of young-of-the-year tomcod were collected from seven locales in the Hudson River, extending from the Battery at river mile 1 (RM 1) to RM 90, and from the Miramichi River, New Brunswick, Canada. Laboratory-reared offspring of tomcod adults from Newark Bay, in the western portion of the Hudson River estuary, were also used in this study. Fish were partially depurated in clean water and intraperitoneally injected with 10 ppm coplanar PCB-77, 10 ppm benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), or corn oil vehicle, and levels of CYP1A mRNA were determined. CYP1A was significantly inducible by treatment with BaP in tomcod from the Miramichi River, from laboratory-spawned offspring of Newark Bay origin, and from all Hudson River sites spanning 90 miles of river. In contrast, only tomcod from the Miramichi River displayed significantly induced CYP1A mRNA expression when treated with PCB-77. Our results suggest that the population of tomcod from throughout the Hudson River estuary has developed resistance to CYP1A inducibility and probably other toxicities mediated by the AHR pathway. Tomcod from the Hudson River may represent the most geographically expansive population of vertebrates with resistance to chemical pollutants that has been characterized.

Methods to measure recreational water quality in or=2 hr have been developed. Application of rapid methods could give considerably more accurate and timely assessments of recreational water quality. We conducted a prospective study of beachgoers at two Great Lakes beaches to examine the association between recreational water quality, obtained using rapid methods, and gastrointestinal (GI) illness after swimming. Beachgoers were asked about swimming and other beach activities and 10-12 days later were asked about the occurrence of GI symptoms. We tested water samples for Enterococcus and Bacteroides species using the quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. We observed significant trends between increased GI illness and Enterococcus at the Lake Michigan beach and a positive trend for Enterococcus at the Lake Erie beach. The association remained significant for Enterococcus when the two beaches were combined. We observed a positive trend for Bacteroides at the Lake Erie beach, but no trend was observed at the Lake Michigan beach. Enterococcus samples collected at 0800 hr were predictive of GI illness that day. The association between Enterococcus and illness strengthened as time spent swimming in the water increased. This is the first study to show that water quality measured by rapid methods can predict swimming-associated health effects.

ER - TY - JOUR T1 - The Estrogenic Effect of Bisphenol A Disrupts Pancreatic [beta]-Cell Function In Vivo and Induces Insulin Resistance AN - 21356607; 12085801 AB - The function of the pancreatic beta-cell is the storage and release of insulin, the main hormone involved in blood glucose homeostasis. The results in this article show that the widespread environmental contaminant bisphenol-A (BPA) imitates 17beta-estradiol (E2) effects in vivo on blood glucose homeostasis through genomic and nongenomic pathways. The exposure of adult mice to a single low dose (10 microg/kg) of either E2 or BPA induces a rapid decrease in glycemia that correlates with a rise of plasma insulin. Longer exposures to E2 and BPA induce an increase in pancreatic beta-cell insulin content in an estrogen-receptor-dependent manner. This effect is visible after 2 days of treatment and starting at doses as low as 10 microg/kg/day. After 4 days of treatment with either E2 or BPA, these mice developed chronic hyperinsulinemia, and their glucose and insulin tolerance tests were altered. These experiments unveil the link between environmental estrogens and insulin resistance. Therefore, either abnormal levels of endogenous estrogens or environmental estrogen exposure enhances the risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia.

The ravaged communities left in the storm's wake are still assessing the environmental health impacts of the winds, waves, and flooding that occurred. Various teams of researchers are sampling floodwaters, sediments, and other materials to determine the habitability of the area, which was home to hundreds of petroleum and chemical facilities. Agencies are working to ensure that workers and homeowners are protected from the risks they may encounter in the post-hurricane environment. Much remains to be sorted out, such as how best to rebuild the affected area, protect coastal cities from future flooding, and prepare responders for future events.

Although guidelines indicate limits for several parameters, the real toxicologic impacts remain largely unexplored in field conditions. In this study our aim was to validate an ecotoxicologic approach to evaluate both bioaccumulation and toxicologic effects caused by airborne pollutants. Specimens of the land snail Helix aspersa were caged in five sites in the urban area of Ancona, Italy. After 4 weeks, trace metals (cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, manganese, nickel, lead, and zinc) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were measured and these data integrated with the analyses of molecular and biochemical responses. Such biomarkers reflected the induction of detoxification pathways or the onset of cellular toxicity caused by pollutants. Biomarkers that correlated with contaminant accumulation included levels of metallothioneins, activity of biotransformation enzymes (ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase, ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase), and peroxisomal proliferation. More general responses were investigated as oxidative stress variations, including efficiency of antioxidant defenses (catalase, glutathione reductase, glutathione S-transferases, glutathione peroxidases, and total glutathione) and total oxyradical scavenging capacity toward peroxyl and hydroxyl radicals, onset of cellular damages (i.e., lysosomal destabilization), and loss of DNA integrity. Results revealed a marked accumulation of metals and PAHs in digestive tissues of organisms maintained in more traffic-congested sites. The contemporary appearance of several alterations confirmed the cellular reactivity of these chemicals with toxicologic effects of potential concern for human health. The overall results of this exploratory study suggest the utility of H. aspersa as a sentinel organism for biomonitoring the biologic impact of atmospheric pollution in urban areas. Key words: atmospheric pollutants, bioindicators, biomarkers, DNA integrity, lysosomes, metallothioneins, oxidative stress, peroxisomes, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, trace metals.

We tested the hypothesis that inhalation of carbon UFPs has vascular effects in healthy and asthmatic subjects, detectable as alterations in blood leukocyte expression of adhesion molecules. Healthy subjects inhaled filtered air and freshly generated elemental carbon particles (count median diameter approximately 25nm, geometric standard deviation approximately 1.6), for 2 hr, in three separate protocols: 10 microg/m3 at rest, 10 and 25 microg/m3 with exercise, and 50 microg/m3 with exercise. In a fourth protocol, subjects with asthma inhaled air and 10 microg/m3 UFPs with exercise. Peripheral venous blood was obtained before and at intervals after exposure, and leukocyte expression of surface markers was quantitated using multiparameter flow cytometry. In healthy subjects, particle exposure with exercise reduced expression of adhesion molecules CD54 and CD18 on monocytes and CD18 and CD49d on granulocytes. There were also concentration-related reductions in blood monocytes, basophils, and eosinophils and increased lymphocyte expression of the activation marker CD25. In subjects with asthma, exposure with exercise to 10 microg/m3 UFPs reduced expression of CD11b on monocytes and eosinophils and CD54 on granulocytes. Particle exposure also reduced the percentage of CD4+ T cells, basophils, and eosinophils. Inhalation of elemental carbon UFPs alters peripheral blood leukocyte distribution and expression of adhesion molecules, in a pattern consistent with increased retention of leukocytes in the pulmonary vascular bed.

Unlike obvious birth defects, most developmental effects cannot be seen at birth or even later in life. Instead, brain and nervous system disturbances are expressed in terms of how an individual behaves and functions, which can vary considerably from birth through adulthood. In this article I challenge the protective value of current pesticide risk assessment strategies in light of the vast numbers of pesticides on the market and the vast number of possible target tissues and end points that often differ depending upon timing of exposure. Using the insecticide chlorpyrifos as a model, I reinforce the need for a new approach to determine the safety of all pesticide classes.

The river basin is increasingly being used as the unit for natural resource planning and management; to facilitate this, basin-scale models of material supply and transport are being developed. For many basin-scale planning activities, detailed rainfall-runoff modelling is neither necessary nor tractable, and models that capture spatial patterns of material supply and transport averaged over decades are sufficient. Nevertheless, the data to describe the spatial variability of river discharge across large basins for use in such models are often limited, and hence models to predict river discharge at the basin scale are required. We describe models for predicting mean annual flow and a non- dimensional measure of daily flow variability for every river reach within a drainage network. The models use sparse river gauging data, modelled grid surfaces of mean annual rainfall and mean annual potential evapotranspiration, and a network accumulation algorithm. We demonstrate the parameterization and application of the models using data for the Murrumbidgee basin, in southeast Australia, and describe the use of these predictions in modelling sediment transport through the river network. The regionalizations described contain less uncertainty, and are more sensitive to observed spatial variations in runoff, than regionalizations based on catchment area and rainfall alone.

Low microsatellite polymorphism was exhibited among 10 pathogenically diverse P. graminis f. sp. tritici isolates collected from Australian cereal growing regions over a period of at least 70 years, with two polymorphic loci detected, each revealing two alleles. Limited cross-species amplification was observed for the wheat rust pathogens, P. triti-cina (leaf rust) and P. striiformis f. sp. tritici (stripe rust). However, very high transferability was revealed with P. graminis f. sp. avenae (causal agent of oat stem rust) isolates. A genetic diversity study of 47 P. graminis f. sp. avenae isolates collected from an Australia-wide survey in 1999, and a historical group of 16 isolates collected from Australian cereal growing regions from 1971 to 1996, revealed six polymorphic microsatellite loci with a total of 15 alleles. Genetic analysis revealed the presence of several clonal lineages and subpopulations in the pathogen population, and wide dispersal of identical races and genotypes throughout Australian cereal-growing regions. These findings demonstrated the dynamic population structure of this pathogen in Australia and concur with the patterns of diversity observed in pathogenicity studies.

Lunar soil samples give a tightly grouped set of positive isotope fractionation values of between + 0.42% and + 0.50% per mass unit. Positive isotope fractionation implies that the heavy isotopes are enhanced with respect to those of the Laboratory Standard. A vesicular mare basalt gave zero isotope fractionation, indicating that the Cd isotopic composition of the Moon is identical to that of the Earth. A sample of orange glass from the Taurus- Littrow region gave a negative isotope fractionation of - 0.23 +/- 0.06% per mass unit, presumably as a result of redeposition of Cd from the Cd-rich vapour cloud associated with volcanism. Cadmium is by far the heaviest element to show isotope fractionation effects in lunar samples. The volatile nature of Cd is of importance in explaining these isotope fractionation results. Although a number of mechanisms have been postulated to be the cause of isotope fractionation of certain elements in lunar soils, we believe that the most likely mechanisms are ion and particle bombardment of the lunar surface.

Two recent studies have shown that the Australian allodapine genus Brevineura exhibits a strong increase in per capita brood production (PCBP) in social colonies compared to single-female nests. However both species previously examined, B. xanthoclypeata and B. froggatti, show relatively few multi-female nests, which is puzzling considering the apparently large advantages for group-living in these species. Here we show that in a third species, B. elongata, there are also substantial benefits for group living, involving increased PCBP and a greatly reduced likelihood of nests without brood. As expected from these observations, we also found strongly female biased sex allocation. Nevertheless only a small percentage of nests contained more than one adult female, similar to the other two Brevineura species, raising the question of why multifemale colonies are not more common in this genus. Solving this puzzle will throw light on conditions that constrain sociality when group living apparently provides major advantages.

BLUElink is a national initiative by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, the CSIRO and the Royal Australian Navy, which will deliver a short-range ocean forecasting system for the Asian-Australian region by 2007. BLUElink combines satellite observations (sea-level anomaly and SST) and in-situ ocean observations (temperature and salinity) from Argo floats and other measurement platforms with a global ocean general circulation model (GFDL MOM4). The assimilation system produces an ocean state, which is in close agreement with observations. Output from this eddy-resolving ocean model with a 0.1º horizontal mesh size and 47 vertical levels aids the understanding and prediction of phenomena such as the Indonesian Throughflow, the Coral Sea Gyre, and the East Australian Current. Results from a 13-year (1992-2005) simulation are described in presentation. In addition to the direct application of BLUElink products for operational ocean forecasting, associated products are being used to characterise habitats for pelagic predators (tuna, billfish, seabirds) and refine stock assessment methods for the region. Little is known about the impacts of mine waste disposal, including deep-sea tailings, on tropical marine environments. CSIRO has described the influence of waste disposal from the Lihir gold mine on the shallow reef and deep-water fish communities and is currently investigating the mine's influence on the deep-water bentho-pelagic communities. Deep-water benthos, plankton, nekton, and pelagic communities are investigated to look for any bioaccumulation of heavy metals in the system.

Three teleomorph and five anamorph species are accepted. One new combination is made in Physopella, a new species of Uredo is described and a new name is proposed in Uredo. To facilitate identification of the known rust fungi occurring on Myrtaceae, keys are provided to the uredinial and telial taxa. The known hosts of the myrtaceous rusts are recorded. Guava rust, Puccinia psidii, is now known to occur on species in both subfamilies of Myrtaceae, including one of two tribes of the subfamily Psiloxyloideae and seven of the 15 tribes of subfamily Myrtoideae, a total of 20 genera and 71 species. Susceptibility to Puccinia psidii seems to be low among species of Myrtaceae from the Americas but more common among taxa from Asia, Australia and the Pacific.

Both D. perjuncta and Phomopsis viticola cause bleaching of cane and, for this reason, diagnosis of the two fungi is often confused in the vineyard. P. viticola causes leaf spots and shoot lesions in the growing season, whereas more recent studies have indicated that D. perjuncta might not be a pathogen. Field studies were conducted to assess the role of D. perjuncta in delayed budburst and death of grapevine buds. Over three seasons (1999-2001), vines were assessed at four vineyards in South Australia for percentage of budburst and incidence of D. perjuncta. A D. perjuncta-specific probe, pT1P180, was used to detect D. perjuncta in unburst buds, cane and shoots on spurs having buds that failed to burst. D. perjuncta was detected in both bleached and non-bleached cane. Although there was a significant association between the incidence of D. perjuncta and buds that failed to burst in 1999 only, overall bud burst was normal in all vineyards and bud loss was not a concern. Bunch number and shoot growth was not affected. Mites were considered as a possible factor in damage to unburst buds, but it was more likely that failure of buds to burst was related to physiological or environmental effects. D. perjuncta did not adversely affect grapevine productivity and cannot be regarded as a pathogen of grapevine.

Two promising test baits and fresh meat reference baits were biomarked with iophenoxic acid and aerially distributed in 100-km super(2) blocks of land infested with feral pigs in western Queensland to assess field uptake and target-specificity without prefeeding. Uptake was assessed by measuring blood iodine levels in aerially shot feral pigs. In all, 80% of feral pigs sampled in a non-toxic PIGOUT super(A(r))-baited area had significantly elevated blood iodine, compared with 52% of sampled feral pigs in a meat-baited area (although slightly different baiting strategies were employed). No age or sex bias was evident in PIGOUT super(A(r))-consuming feral pigs. No monitored manufactured baits were consumed by non-target species in 500 bait-nights. Attractiveness and target- specificity trials of ground-laid, unfenced PIGOUT super(A(r)) baits compared with reference baits were subsequently undertaken in several regions of eastern Australia. Results showed that PIGOUT super(A(r)) was consumed readily by feral pigs at all sites, and that it offered significant improvement in target specificity when compared with unfenced wheat or meat baits. However, the baits were consumed by small numbers of macropods, birds and possums. Available evidence indicates that the target-specificity of PIGOUT super(A(r)) bait is highest in the rangelands, reducing slightly in temperate areas and subalpine forests, where abundance of small animals is higher.

Declines were measured using a prebaiting population census with remote cameras, followed by carcass recovery. The knockdown of susceptible feral pigs may have been higher than this, since any carcasses not recovered reduced the recorded efficacy. In addition, feral pigs know to have left the baiting area after trapping and telemetry-tagging, and subsequently not exposed to toxic baits, were included in the analysis. The use of remote cameras and carcass recovery appears to be a relatively accurate means of recording localised declines in feral pig populations. This method is applicable only when carcass recovery is possible, such as in open areas in the semi-arid rangelands. A decline of 86% of radio-tagged feral pigs attending bait stations was also recorded. Camera observations revealed no non-target consumption of baits. Measurement of sodium fluoroacetate-contaminated tissues from feral pigs showed that residues were too low to present a significant risk to recorded scavenging animals in the area. Some feral pigs vomited before death, with vomitus containing sodium fluoroacetate poison at high concentrations. No vomitus was consumed by non-target species. Almost all feral pigs were killed relatively rapidly after ingestion of sodium fluoroacetate and the signs observed in a small number of poisoned feral pigs did not indicate a significant welfare concern.

Rodenticides are used to reduce damage to crops, but the demographic consequences of applying rodenticides are poorly understood. Furthermore, it is not known whether the reduction induced by rodenticides would be similar to that of a natural crash in abundance at the end of mouse outbreaks. I compared the demographic responses of populations of mice to broad-scale field application of fast-acting, acute rodenticides (strychnine and zinc phosphide) in three grain-growing regions of Australia on baited and unbaited sites through live-trapping of mouse populations before baiting and up to four months after baiting. The reductions in population density in each region immediately after baiting were 85% decline in population densities across all regions on baited and unbaited sites. The natural crash caused increases and decreases in bodyweights, a reduction in the proportion of juveniles, male bias, poor survival and poor relative body condition. Poor survival was the only demographic parameter that was consistent for baiting and the natural crash. Five of seven demographic responses for mice during the natural crash were similar to those found in the literature for the decline phase of cyclic vole and lemming populations in the Northern Hemisphere. These results raise the question of whether mouse populations should be baited if a natural crash would occur anyway, but the timing of the natural crash is always uncertain and rodenticides are inexpensive.

Fremontodendron decumbens is only known from a few populations in gabbro soil plant communities of the Sierra Nevada foothills in el Dorado County. Although a recovery plan for these communities has been drafted, the long-term management of F. decumbens is complicated by its treatment as a subspecies of the more widespread F. californicum, and by the recent discovery of additional populations of decumbent plants in Yuba and Nevada Counties that are not easily assigned to either F. californicum or F. decumbens. Genetic relationships among 5 populations, including F. californicum, F. decumbens, and the decumbent plants in Yuba County, were ascertained using AFLP markers. Principal coordinates and population structure analyses of the AFLP data showed that F. decumbens is genetically distinguishable from the populations of F. californicum that we sampled. This distinction, coupled with its unique morphology and ecology, support the treatment of F. decumbens as a species and promote its continued conservation as a rare and unique element of plant communities on gabbro soils in the Sierra Nevada. The decumbent Yuba County population shared a number of alleles with F. californicum and F. decumbens and the analyses did not clearly distinguish its taxonomic relationships. It is possible that this population represents an historical hybrid between F. californicum and F. decumbens. A resolution of the taxonomic position of the decumbent Yuba County populations will require more thorough sampling of F. californicum but the presence of unique alleles in this population suggests that it also should be conserved.

We tested this hypothesis in two amphibious species, Helmholtzia glaberrima (Hook.) and Philydrum lanuginosum (Banks & Sol.). We tested whether seed germination was affected by different levels of inundation, whether seedlings germinating underwater floated and whether seedlings established after prolonged floatation at rates comparable to seedling establishment in waterlogged soil. Germination underwater and in waterlogged soil was similar for both species. Seeds germinating underwater exhibited post-germination buoyancy and established at similar rates to seedlings in waterlogged soil. The results demonstrated that if seeds germinated underwater, post-germination buoyancy conferred the potential to avoid inundation and promote establishment, when waters recede and/or in areas of high soil moisture that are not submerged. More generally, this finding showed that post-germination buoyancy can promote seedling dispersal and the deposition of seedlings in conditions more favourable for establishment if seeds germinate under flooded conditions or in permanent wetlands.

A total of similar to 6200 seedlings from 477 open-pollinated families from the full natural range were assessed in three separate experiments. Patterns of frost tolerance with race were not clear and consistent in all three experiments, although inland south-eastern Tasmanian and West Coast Tasmanian races were usually the more frost tolerant (T sub(50) = -8.8 degree C, cf. overall mean of -8.3 degree C). Poor correlations between experiments also made clear identification of superior localities difficult. Winter-frost tolerance was a trait with considerable variation and also under strong additive genetic control. Estimated heritabilities of the relative electrical conductivity following a set freezing temperature and the calculated trait T sub(50) were in the range of 0.27-0.71, with small standard errors. Predicted breeding values in all experiments indicated that the best families were tolerant of similar to 1.4 degree C colder temperatures than average. Seedlings appeared equally capable of rapid dehardening, when average T sub(50) cold hardiness changed from -10.5 to -5.7 degree C during a 10-day period, or similar to 3-4 degree C per week. The issue of more thoroughly assessing the genetic basis of frost tolerance in E. globulus through field-testing is discussed.

We questioned whether the mechanisms involved an increase in postprandial energy expenditure, fat oxidation and/or a greater lipolysis. The acute effects of different sources of Ca were examined in eight subjects, aged 47-66 years and BMI 27.6-36.1kg/m2, in a three-way cross-over study. Subjects were randomly provided breakfast meals either low in dairy Ca and vitamin D (LD; control), high in non-dairy Ca (calcium citrate) but low in vitamin D (HC) or high in dairy Ca and vitamin D (HD). Diet-induced thermogenesis, fat oxidation rates (FOR), carbohydrate oxidation rates (COR), insulin, glucose, Delta NEFA and glycerol were measured hourly over a 6h postprandial period. Postprandial data were calculated as a change ( Delta ) from the fasting value. Results showed that Delta NEFA was significantly different between meals (LD -1.50 (sem 0.26), HC -1.22 (sem 0.32), HD -0.94 (sem 0.27) mmol/l6h; P=0.035), with a lesser suppression following both high-Ca meals. Delta FOR was significantly higher following the two high-Ca meals (LD -6.5 (sem 2.2), HC 2.93 (sem 2.34), HD 3.3 (sem 2.5) g6; h; P=0.005), while reciprocally Delta COR was significantly lower. Delta Glycerol was less suppressed following the high-Ca meals but statistical significance was not achieved. No differences in diet-induced thermogenesis, insulin or glucose were observed. Regardless of source, Ca intake acutely stimulated postprandial fat oxidation; and there was a lesser suppression of NEFA following these meals.

Infectious viruses were recovered following transfection of canid cells with a BAC plasmid carrying the complete CHV genome. In vitro growth characteristics of BAC-derived viruses were similar to that of wildtype (wt)-CHV. Two recombinant antigens, fox zona pellucida protein subunit 3 (fZPC) and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) as control antigen, were inserted into thymidine kinase (TK) locus of the CHV genome and shown to be efficiently expressed in vitro. Inoculation of foxes with transgenic CHVs induced CHV specific antibodies, but was innocuous and failed to elicit transgene-specific antibody responses. Infectious virus or viral DNA was not detected in mucosal secretions or tissues of vaccinated foxes. The CHV-BAC system proved to be a quick and reliable method to manipulate the CHV genome. It will help to readily apply changes in the vector design in order to improve virus replication in vivo.

In this paper, we address the problem of predicting the location of promoters and their transcription start sites (TSSs) in Escherichia coli. The accepted method for this problem is to use position weight matrices (PWMs), which define conserved motifs at the sigma-factor binding site. However this method is known to result in large numbers of false positive predictions. RESULTS: Our approaches to TSS prediction are based upon an ensemble of support vector machines (SVMs) employing a variant of the mismatch string kernel. This classifier is subsequently combined with a PWM and a model based on distribution of distances from TSS to gene start. We investigate the effect of different scoring techniques and quantify performance using area under a detection-error tradeoff curve. When tested on a biologically realistic task, our method provides performance comparable with or superior to the best reported for this task. False positives are significantly reduced, an improvement of great significance to biologists.

Managers require timely and cost-effective techniques to obtain biodiversity information at appropriate scales and resolutions aligned with management objectives and stakeholders requirements. In this paper, a two-stage, multi-level data collection framework is presented that will aid managers to focus on what marine biodiversity collection techniques will meet their individual jurisdictional needs. The framework begins with an integrated planning process (objective setting, stakeholder identification, and sensitivity and gap analyses), that leads to a hierarchical approach for selecting biodiversity assessment techniques that will gather required marine biodiversity data. Complexity of scale and resolution increases as one progress's through the hierarchical levels of Stage II. The utility of using a hierarchical framework is that it surmounts the problem that no single technique can quantify all biological attributes necessary for management outcomes. Also, the user enters the framework at a hierarchical level that meets their requirements thus removing the collection of redundant data. Ultimately, the rapid assessment framework is based on the efficient and sufficient assessment of marine biodiversity.

AN - 20099958; 7945802 AB - We investigate the sequence-dependent behaviour of localised excitations in a toy, nonlinear model of DNA base-pair opening originally proposed by Salerno. Specifically we ask whether 'breather' solitons could play a role in the facilitated location of promoters by RNA polymerase (RNAP). In an effective potential formalism, we find excellent correlation between potential minima and Escherichia coli promoter recognition sites in the T7 bacteriophage genome. Evidence for a similar relationship between phage promoters and downstream coding regions is found and alternative reasons for links between AT richness and transcriptionally-significant sites are discussed. Consideration of the soliton energy of translocation provides a novel dynamical picture of sliding: steep potential gradients correspond to deterministic motion, while 'flat' regions, corresponding to homogeneous AT or GC content, are governed by random, thermal motion. Finally we demonstrate an interesting equivalence between planar, breather solitons and the helical motion of a sliding protein 'particle' about a bent DNA axis.

Not surprisingly, two of the models may be falsified based on currently available data with respect to either important model assumptions or predictions, and the third may suffer from being right for the wrong reason. This does not mean that these models are not useful. To the contrary, I argue that all models, especially those published in the scientific literature have largely addressed their stated purpose, and have contributed to our understanding of and ability to manage bovine tuberculosis infection in brushtail possum populations. No model, however, satisfactorily explains the pronounced spatial clustering of possum Tb, and the models critiqued have provided little strong inference as to the routes of transmission of Tb among possums. This situation is not helped by the scarcity of datasets on Tb in uncontrolled possum populations that are readily available to confront competing possum/Tb models with. As time passes, there is a very real risk that these data sets will be lost. This is of particular concern, as the expansion in the area of New Zealand under active possum management means the future opportunity to collect further data on Tb in uncontrolled possum populations is severely limited.

The complexation with HP-[beta]-CyD increased the oral bioavailability of FPFS-410 in normal rats in a HP-[beta]-CyD concentration-dependent manner, compared with that of drug alone. In bile duct- cannulated rats, bile acid concentrations in pylic serum and biliary were decreased to 18% and 14% of sham-operated rats, respectively. After oral administration of the HP-[beta]-CyD complex, the plasma levels of FPFS-410 were lower in bile duct-cannulated rats than in sham-operated rats up to 1 h, however, this order reversed from 2 to 12 h. The plasma levels of M1, a dominant metabolite of FPFS-410 in rats, significantly decreased until 2 h after administration of the complex in bile duct-cannulated rats, compared with in sham-operated rats. Bioconversion of FPFS-410 to M1 and CYP3A2 expression in the liver was markedly lowered by bile duct-cannulation. Bile duct-cannulation did not, however, affect the serum levels of estradiol. These results suggest that bile acids have a pivotal role for bioavailability of FPFS-410 after oral administration of the FPFS-410 complex with HP-[beta]-CyD through CYP3A2 activity in liver of rats.

We measured the effect of ambient solar UV radiation on the biomass and species composition of phytoplankton, protozoa, bacteria and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in natural microbial assemblages from Antarctic coastal waters. Results were modelled to determine the features of the irradiance responsible for changes in the biomass of these microbial components and responses of individual phytoplankton taxa. Model results showed that changes in phytoplankton biomass were primarily due to dose rate, indicating that their UV-induced mortality resulted from the equilibrium between damage and repair. However, there was considerable variability between individual species in their response to dose and dose rate. Changes in protozoan biomass were mainly due to dose and were likely due to community-level, trophodynamic interactions. UV radiation did not measurably affect bacterial biomass, but resulted in increasing concentrations of DOC. We found a threshold of erythemal irradiance of 28 mW m super(-2), approximating peak noon-time irradiance at 3.6 m depth near the summer solstice in Antarctic coastal waters, below which no change in the community structure was observed, but above which phytoplankton mortality and protozoan biomass increased. Our results indicate that enhanced UVB radiation in Antarctic waters increases phytoplankton mortality and causes changes in the structure, function and composition of the microbial community that are likely to return more photoassimilated carbon to the atmosphere.

Sorok. applied in contamination devices (Cds) to control tsetse fly Glossina fuscipes fuscipes Newstead was tested in a field experiment in Lake Victoria from 2 March 1999 to 31 August 2000. One hundred and sixty pyramidal traps mounted with Cds were deployed along the lakeshore and rivers on Mfangano Island. Contamination devices were loaded with 1.5-2.0 g of dry conidia/Cd. On the second island, Nzenze Island, four pyramidal traps fitted with plastic bags were deployed and served as the conventional 'trap and kill' population suppression method. A third island, Ngodhe Island, remained untreated and served as a control. Cds were recharged monthly with fresh conidia; plastic bags were also changed monthly. The apparent changes in population density were monitored weekly using biconical traps set at random on the three islands. To assess the incidence of M. anisopliae in tsetse flies on Mfangano Island, flies captured during monitoring were maintained in the laboratory and their mortality recorded. Fly population was reduced to 82.4 and 95.8% relative to untreated control on Mfangano and Nzenze islands, respectively, during the experimental period. Compared to the fungus-treated island, the number of flies caught in monitoring traps increased considerably in 'trap kill' treatment at 5 months after the treatments were removed. The incidence of M. anisopliae in fly populations was low during the 12 weeks following the initiation of the experiment but increased afterward until termination of the treatment. M. anisopliae could still be recovered from fly populations at 3 months after termination of the treatment, although the incidence was low. The results of this study have shown that application of M. anisopliae in a contamination device can suppress the population of G. fuscipes fuscipes comparable to the 'trap and kill' technology.

Previous studies have correlated these morphological and metabolic changes with differential expression of diverse functional subsets of chlamydial genes. To further investigate these correlations, we compared mRNA expression of predicted chlamydial signal transduction genes between normal Chlamydophila pneumoniae A-03 infections in HEp-2 cells and those treated with gamma interferon (IFN- gamma ) by using real-time RT-PCR. Inspection of the Cp. pneumoniae genome revealed at least 39 candidate signal transduction genes, of which 30 were differentially expressed in Cp. pneumoniae mediated persistence. Functional sub-groups of differentially expressed signal transduction genes include chlamydial GTPases (hflX, ychF, yhbZ and yphC), linked to bacterial cellular processes such as cell cycle control and ribosome assembly and stability. Other up-regulated signal transduction genes sharing similarity to bacterial stress response genes (htrA, surE, lytB and hrcA) were also detected. The transcriptional changes observed for the majority of signal transduction genes appear to be unique for Cp. pneumoniae, as similar changes were not observed in recent whole genomic analysis of C. trachomatis IFN- gamma mediated persistence. These results suggest that chlamydial signal transduction genes play potentially important roles in the establishment and maintenance of Cp. pneumoniae persistence, likely as part of the IFN- gamma response stimulon as described for C. trachomatis, but with considerable differences in the transcriptional profile.

Cyanobacteria with known toxin producing potential were recorded in a number of waters. In the freshwaters studied, the most common toxin producing species were Microcystis and Anabaena while in the alkaline saline lakes, Anabaenopsis was common. Cyanobacteria blooms were recorded in a few lakes. A number of lakes and hot spring algal mats had detectable levels of microcystins and anatoxin-a. Cell bound microcystins (LR equivalents) concentration ranged from 1.6-19800 mu g g super(-1) Dry Weight (DW) while anatoxin-a varied from below the limit of detection to 1260 mu g g super(-1) DW. In alkaline-saline lakes, microcystins and anatoxin-a were also present in stomach contents and liver samples of dead flamingos. Monoculture strains of A. fusiformis from Lakes Sonachi and Bogoria had detectable levels of microcystins while anatoxin-a was present in strains isolated from Lakes Sonachi, Bogoria and Nakuru. The results confirm that cyanotoxins could have played a role in the mortality of flamingos in Lakes Bogoria and Nakuru. Two freshwater sites, Nyanza Gulf (L. Victoria) and Lake Baringo recorded cyanotoxin concentration exceeding WHO's upper limit of 1.0 mu g L super(-1) for drinking water. Trends in toxin algae occurrence are considered in this paper. Additionally, implications of findings on water resource use, measures to be taken to reduce the risk of exposure, and eutrophication control steps to reduce cyanobacteria bloom formation are also considered.

When injected to the mice, complex-in-liposome provided the high DOX levels in plasma and solid tumors, compared with the other preparations. Reflecting the result, complex-in-liposome elicited the retardation of tumor growth and the improvement of survival rate without suppression of increase in the body weight of mice. These results suggest the potential use of pegylated liposomes entrapping the DOX complex with gamma -CyD for a promising carrier for improvement of antitumor effects of DOX.

In the in vitro study, we tested the sensor in 0.9% NaCI solution with varying glucose concentrations and observed an excellent linear relationship between the sensor output and glucose concentration (range: 0-500 mg/100 ml). In in vivo experiments, the PI sensor was inserted into the abdominal subcutaneous tissue of beagle dogs (n = 5), and interstitial fluid glucose concentrations were monitored after sensor calibration. Simultaneously, blood glucose concentrations were also monitored continuously with another PI sensor placed intravenously. The correlation and time delay between subcutaneous tissue glucose (Y) and blood glucose concentrations (X: 30-350 mg/100 ml) were Y = 1.03X + 7.98 (r = 0.969) and 6.6 plus or minus 1.2 min, respectively. We applied the new WAEP system/PI sensor and an intravenous insulin infusion algorithm developed previously for glycemic control in diabetic dogs. The use of the WAEP system resulted in excellent glycemic control after an oral glucose challenge of 1.5 g/kg (post-challenge blood glucose levels: 176 plus or minus 18 mg/100 ml at 65 min and 93 plus or minus 23 mg/100 ml at 240 min), without any hypoglycemia. Thus, we confirmed that our new PI sensor has excellent sensor characteristics in vitro and in vivo. The new WAEP using this sensor is potentially suitable for clinical application.

This study focuses on the spatial control of surface interactions of DNA as well as the electro-stimulated adsorption and desorption of DNA by appropriate surface modification of highly doped p-type silicon. Surface modification by plasma polymerisation of allylamine resulted in a surface that supported DNA adsorption and sustained cell attachment. Subsequent high-density grafting of poly(ethylene oxide) formed a low fouling layer resistant to biomolecule adsorption and cell attachment. Spatially controlled excimer laser ablation of the surface produced patterns of re-exposed plasma polymer with high-resolution. On patterned surfaces, preferential electro-stimulated adsorption of DNA to the allylamine plasma polymer surface and subsequent desorption by the application of a negative bias was observed. Furthermore, the concept presented here was investigated for use in transfection chips. Cell culture experiments with human embryonic kidney cells, using the expression of green fluorescent protein as a reporter, demonstrated efficient and controlled transfection of cells. Electro- stimulated desorption of DNA was shown to yield significantly enhanced solid phase transfection efficiencies to values of up to 30%. The ability to spatially control DNA adsorption combined with the ability to control the binding and release of DNA by application of a controlled voltage enables an advanced level of control over DNA bioactivity on solid substrates and lends itself to biochip applications.

Both environments exhibit transitory non-compliance with microbiological standards after rainfall episodes despite significant expenditures on control of sewage derived pollutant loadings in recent years. This paper demonstrates the role of wave propagation in the entrainment of FIOs from river channel beds as a contributor to episodes of poor microbial water quality. Previously reported data is reviewed in the light of relationships between wave and mean water travel velocities. High flows and rapid changes in river flow, driven by releases of bacterially pure reservoir water, resulted in elevated FIO concentrations and transient peaks in concentration. The new interpretation of these data suggest three modes of entrainment: (i) immediate wave-front disturbance, (ii) wave propagation lift and post-wave transport at mean flow velocity, and (iii) stochastic erosional mechanisms that maintain elevated bacterial concentrations under steady high flow conditions. This is a significant advance on the previously proposed mechanisms. Understanding these mechanisms provides an aid to managing streams intended for recreational use and emphasises the need to control the timing of high flow generation prior to use of the water body for e.g. canoeing events. In addition the processes highlighted have relevance for the protection of shellfish nurseries, drinking water supply intakes and episodes of poor bathing water quality, and associated health risks.

Climatic shifts in temperature and precipitation have a major influence on the decomposition and amount of SOC stored within an ecosystem and that released into the atmosphere. We have linked net primary production (NPP) algorithms, which include the impact of enhanced atmospheric CO sub(2 )on plant growth, to the SOCRATES terrestrial carbon model to estimate changes in SOC for the Australia continent between the years 1990 and 2100 in response to climate changes generated by the CSIRO Mark 2 Global Circulation Model (GCM). Results We estimate organic carbon storage in the topsoil (0-10 cm) of the Australian continent in 1990 to be 8.1 Gt. This equates to 19 and 34 Gt in the top 30 and 100 cm of soil, respectively. By the year 2100, under a low emissions scenario, topsoil organic carbon stores of the continent will have increased by 0.6% (49 Mt C). Under a high emissions scenario, the Australian continent becomes a source of CO sub(2 )with a net reduction of 6.4% (518 Mt) in topsoil carbon, when compared to no climate change. This is partially offset by the predicted increase in NPP of 20.3% Conclusion Climate change impacts must be studied holistically, requiring integration of climate, plant, ecosystem and soil sciences. The SOCRATES terrestrial carbon cycling model provides realistic estimates of changes in SOC storage in response to climate change over the next century, and confirms the need for greater consideration of soils in assessing the full impact of climate change and the development of quantifiable mitigation strategies.

A study was done on the optimization of ingredients concentration for preparing good quality PVA hydrogels with natural polysaccharides. The synthesized hydrogels were also characterized by measuring the different physical properties e.g. gel fraction, swelling and absorption rate. Besides these, sterility test were also performed. Good quality hydrogels were obtained from PVA and natural polysaccharides solutions with 27 kGy radiation dose. There is an influence of natural polysaccharides on the gel fraction of hydrogel. The increase in the amount of polysaccharide causes a decrease in gel fraction that is decrease in the crosslinking density of PVA hydrogel network. The prepared hydrogels were found to be sterile.

Since continuous meteorological recording started in the late 1940s, there has been a marked change in the climates of Southern Ocean islands. The distribution of Sphagnum on Macquarie Island appeared to be expanding through the 1980s. All patches of Sphagnum were mapped in the 1992-93 austral summer, with 112 Sphagnum moss patches ([Lt]3 m2) and 12 larger ( greater than or equal to 3 m2) patches recorded. The vast majority of sites recorded were lowland coastal, with a few sites around plateau lakes. The area of moss beds ranges from 0.03 m2 to 32.4 m2. A total of 23 sites were pegged and tagged by 1996, but only 14 of these sites still had Sphagnum moss present by 2004. It is considered that the climatic conditions (higher than average temperatures and wind speeds and lower than average humidity and precipitation) that occurred between April 1999 and May 2000 would have resulted in a period of desiccation that accounts for the destruction of the smaller and-or shallower Sphagnum beds on the island. It is highly likely that both the spatial distribution and size of Sphagnum moss beds on Macquarie Island will continue to decline with predicted changes in sub-Antarctic climate.

This pattern may have changed as a result of a change in the ways that western suburbanites use and value their gardens. In 107 gardens in 10 suburbs of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, data on the floristic composition, structural characteristics and some use attributes were collected from front and back yards. The floristic data were used to classify the yards into types, many of which preferentially occurred in either front or back. Back yards preferentially containing food plant taxa, and had a larger proportion of lawn, dogs and chicken coops, while front yards preferentially contained showy and screening plant taxa, and had relatively high small shrub cover. However, in a large proportion of properties, the garden type in the front yard was the same as the type in the back yard. In another large proportion of properties the front yard was gardened more intensively than the back, indicating a desire to impress, but the back yard was not used for productive purposes. These gardens preferentially occurred in the older suburbs, while gardens that were showier in the back than the front were negatively correlated with the unemployment rate. In a relatively small proportion of properties showy gardens were located in the front yard, while productive gardens were located in the back yard. The prevalence of these gardens had no relationships with suburb characteristics.

A feasibility study using a pre-post comparative design AN - 19337128; 7078010 AB - Falls in hospital are frequent and their consequences place an increased burden on health services. We evaluated a falls prevention strategy consisting of the introduction of volunteers to 'sit' with patients identified as being at high risk of falling. Two four bed 'safety bays' located on medical wards in two hospitals within southern Adelaide were used. Ward fall rates (expressed as falls per 1000 occupied bed days) were compared in the baseline period (February-May 2002) with the implementation period (February - May 2003) using incident rate ratios and 95% confidence intervals. The number of hours of volunteered time was also collected. No patient falls occurred on either site when volunteers were present. However, there was no significant impact on overall ward fall rates. In the baseline period, there were 70 falls in 4828 OBDs (14.5 falls per 1000 OBDs). During the implementation period, there were 82 falls in 5300 OBDs (15.5 falls per 1000 OBD). The IRR for falls in the implementation versus baseline period was 1.07 (95%CI 0.77 - 1.49; P = 0.346). Volunteers carried out care activities (e.g. cutting up food), provided company, and on occasions advocated on behalf of the patients. Volunteers donated 2345 hours, at an estimated value to the hospitals of almost $57,000. Volunteers may play an important and cost-effective role in enhancing health care and can prevent falls in older hospital patients when they are present. Full implementation of this program would require the recruitment of adequate numbers of volunteers willing to sit with all patients considered at risk of falling in hospital. The challenge for future work in this area remains the sustainability of falls prevention strategies.

We used simulation models to investigate the effects of intracolonial diversity in the task thresholds that stimulate workers to engage in heating and cooling during nest thermoregulation. First, we simulated colonies comprised of one or 15 patrilines that were engaged in heating the brood nest, and observed that single patriline colonies maintained, on average, less stable brood nest temperatures than multiple patriline colonies. Second we simulated colonies with five patrilines that were engaged in cooling their nest, recording the proportions of bees of different patrilines that engaged in nest cooling in response to changing temperatures. Both of our simulations show remarkably similar qualitative patterns to those that we have previously observed empirically. This provides further support for the hypothesis that genetically-based variability in task thresholds among patrilines within honey bee colonies is an important contributor to the ability of colonies to precisely thermoregulate their nests, and we suggest that diversity is important for optimal expression of a range of other colony-level phenotypes.

AN - 19293989; 7437090 AB - The complete microbial degradation of Phthalic Acid (PA) is described. PA was thought to be an endocrine-disrupting chemical. A pure culture (strain No. A-1) from soil sample capable of utilizing PA as the sole source of carbon and energy was identified as Flavobacterium sp. Degradation patterns of PA were observed on the high-performance liquid chromatogram (HPLC) of the culture filtrates of this strain, and growth of bacteria was measured as protein by the Kennedy and Fewson method. The growth yield of this strain was about 6.1 g of protein per mole of carbon source of PA, and was similar to that in the case of glucose as a carbon source. Complete degradation of PA has been achieved (1660 mg/l) in less than 2 days using Flavobacterium sp. strain No. A-1. The transient intermediates of PA were not detectable on the high-performance liquid chromatogram of the culture filtrates of this strain. This strain could not degrade dimethyl, diethyl phthalate ester and phthalic anhydride.

This problem is not new. Rather, it is one which most societies have faced in the past, some with considerable success. This paper considers the case of the hydraulic civilisation of ancient Sri Lanka, not from the perspective of its engineering feats, which are well-known, but from the management aspects of its irrigation system. It details how the ancient Sri Lankans devised a two-tier system which, although it had engineering and economic inefficiencies in its physical structure, was perfectly suited to the level of social capital available at the time. Given that social capital is precisely what limits many developing countries, this suggests that ancient Sri Lanka may provide lessons for water resource management which may have application in developing countries today.

The rationale was that such polymorphisms could underpin rapid real-time PCR or low-density array-based methods for monitoring MRSA dissemination in a cost-effective manner. Previously, the authors devised a computerized method for identifying sets of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with high resolving power that are defined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST) databases, and also developed a real-time PCR method for interrogating a seven-member SNP set for genotyping S. aureus. Here, it is shown that these seven SNPs efficiently resolve the major MRSA lineages and define 27 genotypes. The SNP-based genotypes are consistent with the MRSA population structure as defined by eBURST analysis. The capacity of binary markers to improve resolution was tested using 107 diverse MRSA isolates of Australian origin that encompass nine SNP-based genotypes. The addition of the virulence-associated genes cna, pvl and bbp/sdrE, and the integrated plasmids pT181, pI258 and pUB110, resolved the nine SNP-based genotypes into 21 combinatorial genotypes. Subtyping of the SCCmec locus revealed new SCCmec types and increased the number of combinatorial genotypes to 24. It was concluded that these polymorphisms provide a facile means of assigning MRSA isolates into well-recognized lineages.

In addition, there is growing interest in the concept that the layout and cross-section of submerged coastal protection structures can be optimised to also enhance local surfing conditions. However, as submerged structures have only rarely been adopted for beach protection, the shoreline response to these structures is not well understood at present. Therefore, this review of the available published literature was undertaken with the aim of investigating the environmental and structural parameters governing shoreline response to submerged structures, gleaned from the results of field, laboratory and numerical studies undertaken to date. The review reveals that, contrary to expectations, a majority of the submerged structures constructed to date have resulted in shoreline erosion in their lee. Furthermore, the key environmental and structural parameters governing the mode (i.e. erosion or accretion) and the magnitude (i.e. size of salient) of shoreline response to submerged structures are yet to be identified. Although submerged coastal structures offer the potential for low aesthetic impact incorporating multi-function design, until the response of the adjacent shoreline to submerged structures is better resolved, their use is likely to remain relatively limited.

Mixed swards of clover and buffalo grass (Stenotaphrum secundatum) were grown for 15 months in 0.2 m super(2) sand-filled mesocosms under two CO sub(2) treatments (ambient and twice ambient) and three nutrient treatments [no N, and either low or high P (5 or 134 kg P ha super(-1)); the third nutrient treatment was supplied with high P and N (240 kg N ha super(-1))]. Under ambient CO sub(2), high P increased BNF from 410 to 900 kg ha super(-1). Elevated CO sub(2) further increased BNF to 1180 kg ha super(-1) with high P, but there was no effect of CO sub(2) on BNF with low P. Allocation of N belowground increased by approx. 50% under elevated CO sub(2) irrespective of supplied P. The results suggest that where soil P availability is low, elevated CO sub(2) will not increase BNF, and pasture quality could decrease because of a reduction in aboveground N.

Tests of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were generally in accord with expectations, with only one locus, in two samples, showing significant deviations. Three samples were taken in different years from the Exmouth Gulf. These showed no significant heterogeneity, and it was concluded that they were from a single panmictic population. A sample from Shark Bay, also on the west coast of Australia, showed barely detectable differentiation from Exmouth Gulf (F sub(ST) = 0 to 0.0014). A northeast sample from the Gulf of Carpentaria showed low (F sub(ST) = 0.008) but significant differentiation from Moreton Bay, on the east coast. However, Exmouth Gulf/Shark Bay samples were well differentiated from the Gulf of Carpentaria/Moreton Bay (F sub(ST) = 0.047-0.063). The data do not fit a simple isolation by distance model. It is postulated that the east-west differentiation largely reflects the isolation of east and west coast populations that occurred at the last glacial maximum when there was a land bridge between north-eastern Australia and New Guinea.

AN - 1720064829; EJ1066465 AB - This paper looks at how the concept of reusability has gained currency in e-learning. Initial attention was focused on reuse of content, but recently attention has focused on reusable software tools and reusable activity structures. The former has led to the proposal of service-oriented architectures, and the latter has seen the development of the Learning Design specification. The authors suggest that there is a mutual dependency between the success of these two approaches, as complex Learning Designs require the ability to call on a range of tools, while remaining technology neutral. The paper describes a project at the UK Open University, SLeD, which sought to develop a Learning Design player that would utilise the service-oriented approach. This acted both as a means of exploring some of the issues implicit within both approaches and also provided a practical tool. The SLeD system was successfully implemented in a different university, Liverpool Hope, demonstrating some of the principles of reuse.

Instructional designers promote new ideas and understandings in social contexts that include other designers and clients, among others. This research program attempts to understand this process, using narrative inquiry and instructional designers' stories of practice to explore two interconnected theoretical frames. One frame is methodological and offers a case for narrative inquiry as an alternative approach to research in educational technology. The second frame is practice-based, and uses narrative inquiry to explore the themes of reflexivity, voice, strong subjectivity and power/authority through the stories of three instructional designers.

Giving educators an active and determining rather than a passive role in the development of learning systems is vital if e-learning is to realise its transformative potential in education in the 21st century. Many of the currently available learning technologies and systems, generally devised by technicians rather than educators, have offered limited room for creative or effective teaching. The limitations of these systems--their time consuming nature and their failure to adapt the technology to take account of educational contexts--need to be understood, acknowledged and overcome. The next generation of learning technologies and systems will only take us forward if educators have a much greater stake in controlling how they are developed. The article identifies some key theoretical and practical issues which should be given priority in newly emerging learning technologies and systems.

Over the past twenty five years, the value of technology to education has been a significant focus of teachers, learners and institutional administration; it is also a period that has been characterised by lighthouse success stories, rigorous research, technological determinism and unfulfilled promises. As each new generation of technology appeared in the classroom (microcomputers, colour monitors, hypermedia, multimedia, internet), a new generation of early adopters appeared, each seemingly unaware of the research and knowledge gained by the previous generation. In this paper the argument is proposed that even with the strong foundation of knowledge that informs the appropriate ways to use technology for teaching and learning, too often that knowledge has been misunderstood or misused or ignored. The paper is based on the keynote presentation to the Online Learning and Teaching Conference held in Brisbane on September 23rd, 2005. The theme of the conference, "Beyond Delivery," was extremely timely as it marked the assertion that it was time to put the simple digitisation of materials behind us and focus on the active, engaging learning opportunities that effectively put the learning back into e-learning to take advantage of collaborative tools, learning communities and mediated conversation for new millennial learners. More importantly the statement that we are "beyond delivery" also suggests that it is time to embrace change and reflect on new ways to conceptualise the design of online learning environments. Through this paper an argument is presented for a proactive approach to the conceptualisation, formation and maintenance of online environments that cater specifically for the individual learner. Through an analysis of design strategies, proactive modelling and interactive metrics, a new framework is presented to address the pedagogy of online environments and present an alternative to common instructional design practices. For those committed to online teaching and learning environments populated with collaborating and reflective participants, this framework goes well beyond delivery to a pedagogy centred on emancipation and empowerment for the engaged learner.

In response, this paper therefore presents an introduction to personal coaching practice and its outcomes and examines its processes through a discussion of learning theory. In doing so, it demonstrates the learning value inherent within the coaching framework and challenges educators to consider its potential as a model for active, collaborative, authentic and engaging learning.

In this paper, we describe three projects aimed at developing student skills as part of the discipline content in line with current theory and research. Projects required instructors to reflect on their current practice and, where necessary, to change learning environments from content to process oriented and from teacher to student centred, and to align learning outcomes, learning activities and assessment tasks. We describe each project and, using models of change management and the findings from investigations of teaching and learning innovations in Higher Education, identify the design features that supported or constrained each project's success. Based on the lessons learned from these three projects and those of others reported in the literature, we make recommendations for the design of projects that will have a good chance of success in creating effective learning environments that support skill development.

These excursions are invariably popular with students, but their enjoyment of these activities may be largely due to factors other than the achievement of learning outcomes. This paper reports on a constructivist learning design used for a farm tour whereby strategies were deliberately planned and employed to challenge students to develop their observational skills in an authentic context. Students needed to utilise their prior learning in the area and engage with each other to devise and present proposals to both academic staff and industry cooperators while on the tour.

There are important implications for teaching in a conservatorium, in terms of providing a learning experience that prepares for the changing circumstances graduates can expect to encounter. The development of abilities to be self-monitoring and self-directing, multiskilled and adaptable should be included along with the traditional goals of a conservatorium education. This paper focuses on one conservatorium of music that has begun to accommodate alternatives to the prevailing one-to-one studio practice, the central learning experience of most programs. The paper describes an alternative learning design process within that conservatorium. It is a pedagogical design that relies on the recording process to enable separation of performance from critique. Interest is in how critical reflection on the process and product of creative work is enhanced through self- and peer-assessment, and the development of these skills as an explicit goal of the design.

The "art" of teaching requires more explicit communication within and across different teams that may be involved in each stage. Learning designs provide tools for design teams to map out learning environment attributes such as resources, tasks, people and interactions. Experienced teaching academics, unfamiliar with such tools, require orientation to them to achieve their communication potential. One way to introduce learning design models is to apply them to past subjects as tools for analysis. Do they help identify design imbalance? Do they provide a scaffold for thinking about future subject design? Four simple local design models are explored as potential analysis tools and applied to a subject case study taught prior to the lecturer's awareness of these design models.

This article examines this assertion with reference to an example from a second year undergraduate law unit at the Queensland University of Technology, LWB236 Real Property A. When designing criterion-referenced assessment sheets for a course, an incremental approach should be taken to reflect that skills are progressively developed throughout the course. The incremental development and assessment of skills has been strongly supported by the literature as opposed to developing and assessing skills in a one-off manner. This article discusses how skills may be developed and assessed across three levels of a degree (or course). It builds on the existing research by recommending a model for taking an incremental approach to implementing criterion-referenced assessment across the three levels of a course. This recommended model is relevant to the designers of criterion-referenced assessment in all disciplines.

The online course component was introduced in the Fall of 2003 in order to enhance students' learning by introducing collaborative writing projects, and as a result, to encourage them to write on a regular basis. The intent of the new pedagogical paradigm was to create a student-centred environment where socio-constructivist and cognitive principles would be infused into the teaching of French writing (L2 setting). A design experiment methodology based on students' perspectives was used to continuously test and refine the online component of the course. This process assessment helped in the development of our final course model and tested the quality of our teaching.

Learning designs that accept uncertainty help us to envision classrooms and curricula that are open, dynamic and innovative. Architect Christopher Alexander's patterns and pattern language offer a means for researchers, practitioners, learners, and technologists to capture and share the emergent processes of complex learning. This paper examines the unique properties of patterns that support complex design tasks and suggests a design-based research framework for operationalising its practice. Through the thoughtful explication, mining and construction of patterns, all participants can contribute to a richer learning system.

Communication in society today is characterised by rapidly changing and emergent forms of meaning-making in a context of increased cultural and linguistic diversity. This paper responds to these imperatives, releasing key findings of a critical ethnography concerning interactions between pedagogy and access to multiliteracies among culturally and linguistically diverse learners. Data collection involved 18 days of lesson observations over 10 weeks using field and journal notes, continuous audiovisual and audio recording, and the collection of cultural artefacts. Semi-structured interviewing was also conducted with the teacher, principal, and four students. Data analytic tools included low and high inference coding and pragmatic horizon analysis. Findings concerned the use of overt instruction and situated practice in the teacher's enactment of the multiliteracies pedagogy. This had a significant influence on the learners' ability to access claymation movie designing. Comparisons are made between the learning that occurred for students of the dominant, Anglo-Australian, middle-class culture, and for those who were not. The conclusion addresses relevant literature concerning how to apply the multiliteracies pedagogy to enable meaningful designing.

Online learning @ UniSA is a learning object aimed at laying foundations for online learning for prospective students. It uses the voices of student peers to explore the qualities needed to succeed. Through the insights of four students and their facilitator, prospective online learners can make an informed choice about whether online study is likely to suit their own situation. Preliminary data supports the authors' hypothesis that the web site has allowed prospective students to select online study with their eyes wide open to what this choice really means.

Strain No. A-3, the isolation and identification of microbial chlorhexidine degradation products were attempted. Two aromatic degradation products of chlorhexidine, named chlorhexidine aromatic degradation product (CHADP)-4 and CHADP-6, were isolated by column chromatography using Diaion HP-10, and purified by column chromatography using Diaion HP-20SS and Sephadex LH-20. The chemical structures of both compounds were examined by infrared, super(1)H NMR, super(13)C NMR and fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectra studies. Based on the spectroscopic data, CHADP-4 (molecular weight 335) and CHADP-6 (molecular weight 377) were found to be direct degradation products of chlorhexidine and were thought to be cleavage partners of p-chlorophenylurea (CHADP-S) and p-chloraniline (p-CA), respectively. Antimicrobial activity of CHADP-6 are similar to that of chlorhexidine, but antimicrobial activity of CHADP-4 decreased to 1/5-1/10 that of chlorhexidine.

However, ensuring full use of, and easy access to the resulting data is a challenge in developing countries. The "Fisheries Resource Information System and Tools" (FiRST) was developed through a regional collaborative effort across eight South and Southeast Asian counties to meet these needs. FiRST is a data management system for scientific trawl survey data and includes data summary and visualization tools, an analytical routine to estimate biomass, and data import/export modules. The FiRST software has also facilitated the establishment of a regional database, 'TrawlBase', which contains more than 20,000 hauls or stations from scientific trawl surveys in 10 countries conducted between 1926 and 1995. The regional database is an important regional resource for coastal fisheries management complementing national fisheries catch statistics. This article describes the refined version of FiRST (version 2004) and provides examples on how the database ('TrawlBase') has been used to date for analyses aimed at establishing historic resource baselines and examining the status of coastal fishery resources. The results show a severe decline of resource biomass to an average of 22% of pre-exploitation levels, with cases as low -4%. These results clearly demonstrate the strong impact of fishing on coastal resource biomass and diversity.

Multivariate techniques (classification and ordination analysis) were used to analyze scientific trawl survey data from a collaborative project in the region. Analyses covered major coastal fishing areas in Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines. This represents the first such assessment of fish assemblages for the region using a standard analysis framework. Results indicate that spatial patterns of demersal assemblages are influenced by depth. However, other environmental factors such as salinity and substrate type also appear important. Critical fisheries management implications of the observed assemblage patterns are discussed, particularly in terms of the existing spatial management zones. Existing management zones are based on distance from shore and were found to be largely inconsistent with the assemblage patterns observed. If management is to be effective it must be structured to take into account the underlying pattern of the fish assemblages.

The region's coastal fisheries play a critical role in ensuring food security and providing livelihoods, particularly for poorer sections of the community. This paper introduces a regional initiative in which eight Asian countries (Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam) undertook simultaneous, multi-disciplinary assessments of their coastal fisheries. The outputs of this initiative are presented in the next four papers of this volume of Fisheries Research. The assessments have highlighted two disturbing regional trends: coastal fisheries resources are severely depleted, biological and economic overfishing is occurring throughout the region. These are symptoms of the lack of effective management of fishing capacity in the region. This overview paper highlights the urgent need to reduce fishing capacity in the region. Only through such capacity reduction strategies can fish stocks be rebuilt to more productive and sustainable levels so that potential economic and social benefits from fisheries can be realized. Strategies need to be country- and fishery-specific and should focus on the development of effective access and property-rights regimes. For instance, countries need to explicitly allocate rights between small-scale and industrial fisheries, where resources are shared. This will require an understanding of the overlap between the sectors in terms of resource use and also the relative economic and social benefits from each sector.

In this paper we review the results of a regional study that examined the state of demersal fisheries resources in the coastal areas of Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. In each country time series of scientific trawl survey data (spanning 12-49 years, depending on the area) were used to assess changes in the total biomass of demersal species over time. All countries showed substantial declines in the total biomass. In Malaysia, the declines were greatest in the shallow depths (-50 m) where the biomass declined to 4-20% of the original estimates. In the Gulf of Thailand, by 1995 the total biomass estimates had declined to less than 8% of the 1965 estimates. In the Philippines, changes in the biomass were examined in different bays and fishing areas and the recent estimates of the biomass were 12-64% of the original estimates. These severe declines in the total biomass are thought to be due to over-fishing, compounded by environmental degradation. While over-fishing has been previously documented for selected species or fisheries in these countries, the fishery-independent data analysed here provide the first multi-country evidence of the widespread degradation of demersal coastal resources. Exploitation ratios (fishing mortality:total mortality), calculated from length frequency data, were on average >0.5, suggesting over-fishing. In Thailand a time series of exploitation ratios for 17 species showed increasing fishing pressure over time. Environmental degradation, in terms of changes in water quality and habitat modification and loss, has been documented in all countries and this is likely to be a contributing factor for the declines. The serious declines observed in these three countries are illustrative of a regional trend and highlight the urgent need for countries to reduce and manage their fishing capacity. This regional study also identified a requirement for key interventions, such as strengthening licensing systems, limiting entry to fisheries and increasing gear selectivity. It also highlighted the fact that the strategies developed must take into account the context of the developing countries and the broader socioeconomic role of fisheries.

AN - 17160453; 6817655 AB - The Australian Ringneck (Barnardius zonarius) shows clear geographical replacement of populations across its range. These populations have been given taxonomic epithets barnardi, zonarius, semitorquatus and macgillivrayi. We investigated whether historical or non-historical processes explain the origin of their phenotypic differentiation from each other. We used complete ND2 gene sequences from mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) to test whether there is geographical coincidence of breaks in phenotypic and neutral molecular diversity. Simply, geographical coincidence is expected by historical processes but not by non-historical ones. Phylogenetic analysis identified one clade with most barnardi samples and another with zonarius, semitorquatus and macgillivrayi. The latter included some phenotypically typical barnardi but they were from localities where it approaches zonarius and macgillivrayi. Differentiation between the two clades, and thus of barnardi from all other populations, likely occurred first by a historical process such as vicariance. Later gene flow appears to have eroded the mtDNA monophyly of barnardi. Phenotypic and mtDNA diversity among semitorquatus, zonarius and macgillivrayi are not correlated. Non-historical processes are clearly suggested in the origin of their phenotypic differentiation. Their low nucleotide diversity, however, leaves ambiguity as to whether very recent historical processes could have been involved. Ramifications to issues of Barnardius systematics are discussed. Isolated north-western Queensland populations (macgillivrayi) are not closely related to barnardi. Alternative taxonomic treatments of our findings, recognising no more than three taxa (barnardi, zonarius and macgillivrayi) under different species concepts are cautiously discussed while urging more study.

In this study, a single-dose anti-fertility treatment was simulated through surgical and hormonally based sterilisation of female ricefield rats, Rattus argentiventer, in a rice-based agro-ecosystem. Up to 76% of adult females were sterilised on 10 ha plots before the start of the breeding season in two populations for each treatment (surgical or hormonally based sterilisation). There were two untreated populations. None of the treatments led to a decrease in population growth, breeding performance or crop damage nor was there an increase in rice yield. The treatments did not result in numeric or reproductive compensation at the rat population level. It is likely that immigration by fertile female rats outweighed the potential effects of sterilised females at the population level. The findings highlight the importance to test whether anti-fertility treatments on a larger scale than in this study and multiple-dose treatments can effectively reduce the population size of ricefield rats.

However, little research has been done on allodapine bees, a taxon that has numerous independent origins of social parasitism. This study looks at two species of Macrogalea from Madagascar, one of which was previously believed to be a social parasite. Macrogalea is an important genus to study as it is the sister clade to all other allodapine genera, and the species of Macrogalea in Madagascar diverged recently, meaning that the study of a social parasite in this genera would provide insights into the very early stages of social parasite evolution. Macrogalea maizina was determined to be facultatively parasitic based on the presence of many traits that are common to other allodapine social parasites. The host, Macrogalea antanosy, was found to be quasi-social, with most females within a colony being able to reproduce. This has unique consequences for a parasitic strategy, as any invading parasite has no need to remove a queen or suppress the reproduction of the other colony members, a strategy that has been commonly observed for facultative parasites in other taxa.

All rats of the le and WI strains survived for 7 days after the treatment with a toxic dose of Cd (6.5 mg/kg b.w.). However, all rats of the Fischer strain died by the following day. The strong resistance to Cd toxicity in the le strain was confirmed to be independent of metallothionein synthesis induced by Cd. The hepatic and renal Cd contents after its administration were significantly lower in the le strain than in the Fischer strain. Furthermore, the hepatic and renal zinc (Zn) contents after its administration were significantly lower in the le strain than in the Fischer strain. These limited data suggest that the strong resistance to Cd toxicity in male le rats results from, at least in part, the lower accumulation of the metal in the liver and kidney, in a similar mechanism as the lower Zn accumulation.

Here we report on progress towards a lettuce-made measles vaccine. Lettuce is a palatable species which exhibits rapid growth in contained hydroponic systems and produces negligible quantities of toxins. Measles virus hemagglutinin (MV-H) protein was successfully expressed in transgenic lettuce and found to be immunogenic in mice. Lettuce extracts containing MV-H protein induced MV neutralising antibodies following intraperitoneal injection and intranasal inoculation of mice. Using a sequential prime-boost strategy in which mice were vaccinated with MV-H DNA followed by an orally delivered freeze-dried MV-H lettuce formulation a 10-fold increased in MV-specific IgG titers was observed relative to mice vaccinated with control lettuce formulations (p = 0.05). MV-H protein was stable in freeze-dried lettuce for up to 13 months at room temperature, and survived at least a week at temperatures as high as 50 degree C. This research represents a significant step towards the development of measles vaccine formulation that is effective, temperature-stable, easy to administer in a resource-poor setting and amenable to large scale manufacture.

(1999). Developmental coordination disorder in Swedish 7-year-old children. Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 38, 820- 828; Milberger, S., Faraone, S., Biederman, J., Testa, M., & Tsuang, M. (1996). New phenotype definition of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in relatives for genetic analyses. American Journal of Medical Genetics, 67, 369-377]. The rate of comorbidity between the two has been found to be close to 50% [Barkley, R. (1990). Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: A handbook for diagnosis and treatment. New York: Guilford Press]. Investigations into the comorbidity of the disorders points to a shared aetiology between them. The aim of the present investigation was to examine the extent to which the shared aetiology is due to common genetic factors to both disorders. We also investigated whether particular subtypes of each disorder were more linked than others. Mailed questionnaires were completed by parents (predominantly mothers) of 1285 twin pairs aged 5 and 16 years from the volunteer Australian Twin Registry (ATR). Included were a DSM-IV-based ADHD form, the alternative SWAN (Strengths and Weaknesses of ADHD Symptoms and Normal Behaviour scale) and the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ). Statistical analyses including structural equation modelling were carried out to explore the genetic factors of both disorders. The modelling showed a strong shared additive genetic component between most subtypes of ADHD and DCD to the subtypes of the other disorder. Analyses comparing the two ADHD measures showed an overlap of the symptoms captured by each measure but also significant differences. The DCD-fine motor and ADHD-Inattentive were most strongly linked using the DSM-IV based scale. On the SWAN scale the results were similar but the general coordination scale was also very strongly linked. Implications for the use of different assessment tools are discussed.

Participants were compared across age group, sex, and level of motor ability. When intercorrelations between self-perceptions were taken into account, the level of movement ability was found to impact upon perceived athletic competence and scholastic competence. When movement was considered in terms of fine and gross motor ability, it was found that those with higher perceived scholastic competence were in the younger group and had better fine motor skills. Furthermore, those with greater perceived athletic competence were also in the younger group, were predominantly male and had better gross motor skills. The types of self-perceptions that influenced self-worth were dependent on the level of motor ability of the participants and varied according to their sex. The implications of these findings are discussed with reference to the necessity to assess specific types of motor deficit when tailoring intervention strategies for children with motor disorders, particularly within the academic setting.

A novel immunoassay procedure was used to measure the serum cadmium levels. A significant difference was found between the mean serum cadmium levels in patients versus comparison subjects. The odds ratio (OR) for pancreatic cancer risk was significant for serum cadmium level and farming. Several molecular mechanisms were identified by which cadmium could influence pancreatic cells. It was found that the pancreatic cancer in the East Nile Delta region is significantly associated with high levels of serum cadmium and farming.

The daily counts of all-cause mortality and several cause-specific subcategories were considered. The associations among several subpopulations, including the elderly males, females, non-high school graduates, whites, and Hispanics were also examined. The Poisson multiple regression models incorporating natural or penalized splines to control for covariates that could affect daily counts of mortality, including time, seasonality, temperature, humidity, and day of the week were used. It was observed that a 10- mu g/m super(3) change in 2-day average PM sub(2.5) concentration corresponded to a 0.6% increase in all-cause mortality. The results were generally intensive to model specification and the type of spline model used.

The analyses, included standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), using rates for Indiana and the United States, standardized rate ratios (SRRs), and Poisson regression rate ratios (RRs). Among those working >90 days, both melanoma and brain cancer were elevated, especially for women. The findings of excess melanoma and brain cancer mortality confirmed the results of the original investigations. The melanoma mortality was not associated with estimated cumulative PCB exposure and brain cancer. The association between mortality and estimated PCB cumulative exposure did not demonstrate a clear dose-response relationship.

Although optimal LPS signaling is required to activate our innate immune systems against gram-negative bacterium, excessive amount of LPS signaling develops a detrimental inflammatory response in gram-negative bacterial infections. Downregulation of surface TLR4 expression is one of the critical mechanisms that can restrict LPS signaling. Here, we found that membrane-anchored CD14 is required for LPS-induced downregulation of TLR4 and MD-2 in CHO cells. Moreover, pretreatment of the cells with sterol-binding agent filipin reduced LPS-induced TLR4 downregulation, suggesting the involvement of caveolae-mediated endocytosis pathway. Involvement of caveolae in LPS-induced TLR4 endocytosis was further confirmed by immunoprecipitation. Thus, our data indicate that caveolae-dependent endocytosis pathway is involved in LPS-induced TLR4 downregulation and that this is dependent on membrane-anchored CD14 expression.

AN - 68880606; 16289012 AB - Mutant insect carboxyl/cholinesterases underlie over 60 cases of resistance to organophosphorus and/or carbamate insecticides. Biochemical and molecular data on about 20 of these show recurrent use of a very small number of mutational options to generate either target site or metabolic resistance. Moreover, the mutant enzymes are often kinetically inefficient and associated with significant fitness costs, due to impaired performance of the enzymes' original function. By contrast many bacterial enzymes are now known which can effectively detoxify these pesticides. It appears that the constraints of the genetic code and eukaryote genetic systems have severely limited the evolutionary response of insects to the widespread use of the insecticides over the last 60 years.

13884973 AB - Rodent pests cause significant damage to lowland irrigated rice crops in the Red River Delta of northern Vietnam. Data from a 4-year study were examined to look at the population dynamics of the ricefield rat, Rattus argentiventer (representing 50% of captures), the lesser ricefield rat, Rattus losea (30% of captures), and the black rat, Rattus rattus complex (9% of captures) that inhabit the irrigated mixed-cropping system. We tested the hypothesis that these rodent species were breeding in response to the availability of high-quality food provided by crops rather than in response to rainfall. The abundance of rodents fluctuated annually, with a main peak following the spring rice crop, and a secondary peak following the summer rice crop. There was a strong relationship between the monthly abundance of rats and rainfall, but a weak relationship between monthly rates of increase and rainfall. There were distinct peaks in breeding activity during the reproductive stages of the rice crops suggesting that changes in crop stages were more important than rainfall in this seasonal, but irrigated agroecosystem. The modal litter size for R. argentiventer was 8 (mean of 8.67c0.20 SE, range 2-16), where the mode for R. losea, was 7 (mean of 7.32c0.15 SE, range 3-14). Management of these species needs to be conducted prior to the onset of the main breeding seasons.

Chlorophenol degradation was stimulated in the presence of low concentrations of glucose (0.05-1%, w/v). Substrate removal was inhibited and there was a significant fall in pH with concentrations of glucose greater than 1.0% (w/v). When the pH was controlled at pH 7.0 inhibition of substrate removal was alleviated. The rate of removal of 2-chlorophenol was greater in the presence of fructose than in the presence of glucose. P. putida CP1 formed clumps of cells when grown on 2-chlorophenol and fructose but not on glucose. When the organism was grown on a combination of 2-chlorophenol and an additional carbon source clumping was present but to a lesser degree.

CLIR Publication No. 135 AN - 742875677; ED509330 AB - This report addresses the question of what libraries and archives are legally empowered to do to preserve and make accessible for research their holdings of pre-1972 commercial recordings, the large aural legacy that is not protected by federal copyright. The report is one of a series of studies undertaken by the National Recording Preservation Board, under the auspices of the Library of Congress, to "maintain and preserve sound recordings that are culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant," as directed by Congress in the National Recording Preservation Act of 2000 [Public Law 106-474]. The act specifically requires the conduct of a study of "current laws and restrictions regarding the use of archives of sound recordings, including recommendations for changes in such laws and restrictions to enable the Library of Congress and other nonprofit institutions in the field of sound recording preservation to make their collections available to researchers in a digital format" and of "copyright and other laws applicable to the preservation of sound recordings." As the first in-depth analysis by a nationally known expert in copyright law, this report will also be a timely and authoritative aid to the many librarians and archivists who face decisions daily about how to establish priorities for sound preservation. This report not only provides clear evidence of the need for updating copyright law to take advantage of digital technologies to preserve and to make accessible the full range of the sound heritage, but also demonstrates what preserving institutions can do to ensure access to the past aural landscape into the future. Results of Preliminary Research Concerning State Law is appended. (Contains 168 footnotes.)

AN - 70151538; 16599101 AB - The childhood diarrhoea-management guidelines of the World Health Organization/United Nations Children's Fund (WHO/UNICEF) now include zinc treatment, 20 mg per day for 10 days. To determine if a dispersible zinc sulphate tablet formulation is associated with increased risk of vomiting or regurgitation following the initial, first treatment dose, a double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial was carried out in the Dhaka hospital of ICDDR,B: Centre for Health and Population Research (n=800) and in an adjacent NGO outpatient clinic (n=800). Children were randomized to one of three groups: no treatment, placebo, or zinc sulphate tablet (20 mg). They were then observed for 60 minutes, and all vomiting or regurgitation episodes were recorded. When compared with placebo, zinc treatment resulted in an attributable risk increase of 14% for vomiting and 5.2% for regurgitation. The median time to vomiting among those receiving zinc was 9.6 minutes and was limited to one episode in 91.2% of the cases. Overall, the proportion of 60-minute post-treatment vomiting attributable to zinc, placebo, and the illness episode was estimated to be 40%, 26%, and 34% respectively. The dispersible zinc sulphate tablet formulation at a dose of 20 mg is associated with increased risks of vomiting and regurgitation. Both are transient side-effects.

AN - 70130675; 16512208 AB - After addition to farms by fertilizer, crop residues, biological fixation and animal excreta, nitrogen can be lost through gaseous emission, runoff and leaching to contaminate the atmosphere and water bodies, and cause adverse health effects. The efficiency of fertilizer nitrogen can be increased and losses reduced, by matching supply with crop demand, optimizing split application schemes, changing the form to suit the conditions, and use of slow-release fertilizers and inhibitors. In addition, agronomic practices such as higher plant densities, weed and pest control and balanced fertilization with other nutrients can also increase efficiency of nitrogen use. Efficiency of use by animals can be increased by diet manipulation. Feeding dairy cattle low degradable protein and high starch diets, and grazing sheep and cattle on grasses high in water soluble carbohydrate result in less nitrogen excretion in urine and reduced ammonia volatiliztion.

AN - 70118448; 16459840 AB - Cyanobacterial hepatotoxins present a risk to public health when present in drinking water supplies. Existing removal strategies, although efficient, are not economically viable or practical for remote Australian communities and developing nations. Bank filtration is a natural process and a potential low cost, toxin removal strategy. Batch studies were conducted in 12 texturally diverse soils to examine the soil properties influencing the adsorption of the cyanobacterial hepatotoxins, microcystin-LR and nodularin. Sorption isotherms were measured. Freundlich and linear isotherms were observed for both toxins with adsorption coefficients not exceeding 2.751 kg(-1) for nodularin and 3.81 kg(-1) for microcystin. Significant positive correlations were identified between hepatotoxin sorption and clay and silt contents of the soils. Desorption of toxins was also measured in three different soils. Pure nodularin and microcystin-LR readily desorbed from all soils.

A prospective, observational study was conducted. Sonographers were unaware of the data being sought. Data were collected regarding duration of the examination and specific duration spent at each MI and TI. A total of 11 first-trimester, 14 second-trimester, and 12 third-trimester examinations were evaluated. The mean duration of the first-trimester examination was 8.9 minutes. The mean MI was 0.73 (range, 0.3-1.3), and the mean TI was 0.34 (0.1-1.7). The mean duration of the second-trimester examination was 31.8 minutes. The mean MI was 1.04 (0.5-1.5), and the mean TI was 0.28 (0.1-2.4). The mean duration of the third-trimester examination was 16.3 minutes. The mean MI was 1.06 (0.2-1.5), and the mean TI was 0.32 (0.1-2.4). Statistical significance existed across trimesters with regard to examination durations and MI (P or = 1) were brief (mean +/- SD, 0.17 +/- 0.08 minutes) and were observed during the short periods of color Doppler imaging. Output levels during routine obstetric ultrasound examinations, as expressed by the MI and TI, are generally low. However, higher output levels, particularly TI levels of greater than 1.5, can be achieved, although they account for only a very small proportion of examination time.

AN - 68622972; 16139940 AB - Carbonyl sulfide (COS) is a new grain fumigant which has been developed to replace methyl bromide, being phased out due to its ozone depletion properties, and to supplement phosphine gas which is experiencing increased insect resistance. Treatment of commodities with COS, a highly effective fumigant, results in residues that are near or indistinguishable to natural background levels of this compound. COS is a naturally occurring gas, being the predominant sulfur moiety in the atmosphere, occurs naturally in food and is a normal by-product of mammalian aerobic metabolism. COS has low acute inhalational toxicity but with a steep dose response curve; COS is neither genotoxic nor a developmental toxicant but does reversibly impair male fertility. Prolonged, repeated exposure to COS is likely to present similar neurotoxicity hazards to that of the structurally and toxicologically related compound carbon disulfide. Although the occupational risks presented by COS as a fumigant of bulk grain are significant, these are, as they have been for a considerable time for phosphine and methyl bromide, manageable by good occupational safety practices. Consideration may need to be given to scrubbing of ventilated COS and its breakdown product hydrogen sulfide, at the completion of fumigation to minimise worker and bystander exposure. In terms of classical regulatory toxicology studies, the available database for COS is deficient in many aspects and registration in most jurisdictions will depend on sound scientific argument built upon the totality of the existing scientific data as there are strong arguments supporting the registration of this compound.

Nevertheless, executive agencies frequently expend public funds to promote aggressively the agendas of presidents. The legal restraints against propaganda have proven ineffective for three reasons: first, agencies do not track spending on public relations activities, which makes congressional oversight difficult; second, the line between appropriate public relations activities & propaganda is blurry; &, third, enforcement of the laws against propaganda runs headlong into the separation of powers.

As the result of user-friendly Web experiences, today's information-seekers have been conditioned by Web search engines to expect immediate gratification. In contrast, it is increasingly apparent that traditional library OPACs do not provide the same ease of use or access to information. National Bibliographic Agencies (NBAs) and libraries everywhere need to respond to this discrepancy by initiating measures to enrich their databases and bibliographic products with much more information than is currently captured in records for resources. At the same time, NBAs must address the need for a new generation of OPACs that offer significantly enhanced functionality, much of which can be based on standard features of Web search engines and online bookstores. In view of alternatives available to information-seekers, these needs require immediate attention if NBAs and libraries are to retain the support of satisfied users into the 21st century. Offers specific recommendations to assist users in identifying and implementing appropriate responses. Original article in Italian.

The study samples were selected from the Outpatient Department of the Departments of Psychiatry attached to the General Hospitals located in Northern Malaysia. Details on background and illness characteristics of the respondents were collected through a questionnaire prepared by the researcher. The Disability Assessment Schedule (WHO/DAS) was used to collect information related to respondents' social functioning. The Quality of Life Interview (QOLI) was used to collect the information about quality of life (QOL). Results of the present study indicated serious deficits in the areas of social functioning and quality of home environment and these deficits were found to have a significant association with low QOL. Based on these findings, the present research argues that policy makers must focus more on creating rehabilitation resources within communities which will complement the level of success achieved in reducing psychotic symptoms. Results of the study highlight an urgent need for the creation of community-based rehabilitation facilities for the successful care of people with a mental illness in Malaysia. This is necessary for other countries in the region as well. Adapted from the source document. JF - Australian e-Journal for the Advancement of Mental Health AU - A.

The three genes and surrounding genomic regions were isolated by screening libraries and using degenerate primers to amplify by PCR conserved coding regions and unknown flanking sequences. The putative Dunaliella psbA, psbB and rbcL proteins show high levels of sequence conservation sharing approximately 87, 92 and 97% similarity to the homologues of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Interestingly, four of the five introns of the psbA gene contain long open-reading frames which have sequence similarity to the H-N-H and GIY-YIG site-specific homing endonucleases suggesting that, like other microalgae, the Dunaliella gene contains group I introns. Putative promoter regions of the psbB and rbcL genes were isolated and found to contain the required signals necessary for gene expression.

Little is known about the control of fibre initiation and development. As a first step towards discovering important genes involved in fibre initiation and development using a genomics approach, we report technical advances aimed at reducing redundancy and increasing coverage for anonymous cDNA microarrays in this study. Cotton ovule cDNA libraries (both normalised and un-normalised) from around the time of fibre initial formation have been prepared and partially characterised by sequencing. Re-association-based normalisation partially reduced library redundancy and increased representation of novel sequences. However, another library generated from in vitro cultured cotton ovules treated with the protein synthesis inhibitor, cycloheximide, showed a significantly altered gene representation including a greater proportion of protein phosphorylation genes, transport genes and transcription factors and a much reduced proportion of protein synthesis genes than were identified in the conventional types of libraries. Over 10,000 expressed sequence tag (EST) clones randomly selected from the three libraries were printed on microarray slides and used to assess gene expression in tissue cultured ovules with and without cycloheximide treatment. The microarray results showed that cycloheximide had a dramatic effect in modifying the pattern of the gene expression in cultured ovules, affecting the same types of genes identified in the preliminary analysis on relative EST abundance in the different ovule cDNA libraries. Cycloheximide clearly provided a simple and useful method for enriching novel gene sequences for genomic studies.

We tested a strategy to enhance the cross-talk between NKT cells and conventional antigen-specific T cells with the use of alpha GalCer-loaded dendritic cells genetically engineered to express antigen plus chemokine, attracting both conventional T cells and NKT cells. DC genetically engineered to express a model antigen, OVA, along with SLC/CCL21 or monokine induced by IFN- gamma /CXCL9, had been generated using a method based on in vitro differentiation of DC from mouse ES cells. The ES-DC were loaded with alpha -GalCer and transferred to mice bearing MO4, an OVA-expressing melanoma, and their capacity to evoke antitumor immunity was evaluated. In vivo transfer of either OVA-expressing ES-DC, stimulating OVA-reactive T cells, or alpha -GalCer-loaded non-transfectant ES-DC, stimulating NKT cells, elicited a significant but limited degree of protection against the i.p. disseminated MO4. A more potent antitumor effect was observed when alpha -GalCer was loaded to ES-DC expressing OVA before in vivo transfer, and the effect was abrogated by the administration of anti-CD8, anti-NK1.1 or anti-asialo GM1 antibody. alpha -GalCer-loaded double transfectant ES-DC expressing SLC along with OVA induced the most potent antitumor immunity. Thus, alpha -GalCer-loaded ES-DC expressing tumor-associated antigen along with SLC can stimulate multiple subsets of effector cells to induce a potent therapeutic effect against peritoneally disseminated tumor cells. The present study suggests a novel way to use alpha -GalCer in immunotherapy for peritoneally disseminated cancer.

Acartia omorii males and females were consistently found in four plankton samples. The collected specimens were compared with A. Omorii individuals collected from the type locality (Tokyo Bay, Japan). The capture of A. Omorii, a species native to Japanese coastal waters, is in agreement with the recent observation of the Japanese macroalgae Undaria pinnatifida within Calais harbor and the hypothesis of passive transport in ship's ballast water.

The response of two rat species to rodent control was monitored using regular live-trapping in an irrigated lowland mixed rice agroecosystem. Rice field rats, Rattus argentiventer (52% of rodent captures), and lesser rice field rats, Rattus losea (29%), were removed using trap-barrier systems (TBS) at two sites while rice crops were present. The TBS was a plastic fence that enclosed a small field planted 3weeks prior to the surrounding fields and set with multiple-capture cage-traps to capture rats that were attracted to the early-planted crop. Demographic responses of rats were compared to two untreated sites. There was a reduction in abundance of rodents on treated sites relative to untreated sites during the summer rice crop (by 45% and 28% for R. argentiventer and R. losea, respectively) an increase in abundance during the winter season (31% and 69%), and a mixed response during the spring rice crop (39% decrease and 41% increase). There was an increase in the proportion of juveniles captured on treated sites relative to untreated sites post-treatment (148% and 158%) and the body mass was lower on treated sites post-treatment (males: 13% and 41%; females: 22% and 22%). Older, larger animals were removed by the TBS and the rodent populations were compensating through high recruitment of young and high immigration into treated sites. No clear patterns were observed in the occurrence of adult breeding females for either R. argentiventer or R. losea. Rodent management, should therefore, occur over large areas (>100ha) to reduce the chance of reinvasion.

As photoautotrophs, their simple growth requirements make these primitive plants potentially attractive bioreactor systems for the production of high-value heterologous proteins. The difficulty of producing stable transformants has meant that the field of transgenic microalgae is still in its infancy. Nonetheless, several species can now be routinely transformed and algal biotechnology companies have begun to explore the possibilities of synthesizing recombinant therapeutic proteins in microalgae and the engineering of metabolic pathways to produce increased levels of desirable compounds. In this review, we compare the current commercially viable bioreactor systems, outline recent progress in microalgal biotechnology and transformation, and discuss the potential of microalgae as bioreactors for the production of heterologous proteins.

The lagoonal ecosystem has been stressed through the past one hundred years due to many anthropogenic influences. Altered hydrology of the system allows massive freshwater discharges into the lagoon, which exit via two ocean inlets and influence continental reef systems. These discharges carry large influxes of nutrients, suspended and dissolved organic matter, contaminants, and toxins into the lagoon, affecting the flora and fauna. Additional pressures in this urbanized coastal area include boating and fishing pressures, as well as loss of natural habitat through physical alterations to the system. A conceptual ecological model of the cause-and-effect relationships of flora and fauna to human-induced and natural conditions within the system was developed. The model consists of ecosystem external drivers and ecological stressors, ecological attributes, and ecological effects, and presents research hypotheses, including the effects of altered volume, timing and distribution of fresh water relative to seagrasses, macroinvertebrates, salinity, fishes, nutrients, toxins, suspended solids, and dissolved organic loads that will assist in the development of a quantitative hydrodynamic model for this system.

The efficiency of in vitro transduction was dose-dependent and influenced by the donor species and maturation status of the islet tissue. Reporter gene expression in FPV-LacZ-transduced islet grafts was transient (3ndash; 7 days) in immunoincompetent nude mice and was not prolonged by in vivo treatment with anti-IFN- gamma mAb. In contrast, FPV-LacZ-transduced NIT-1 cells (a mouse islet beta cell line) expressed the LacZ gene beyond 18 days in vitro. Silencing of transgene expression therefore appeared to occur in vivo and was T cell- and IFN- gamma -independent. Isografts of FPV-LacZ-transduced islets in immunocompetent mice underwent immunological destruction by 7 days, suggesting that either FPV proteins or the reporter protein beta -galactosidase induced an adaptive immune response. Co-delivery of the rat bioactive immunoregulatory cytokine gene TGF- beta to islets using FPV-TGF- beta led to enhanced expression of TGF- beta mRNA in isografts but no long-term protection. Nevertheless, compared to control islet isografts at 5 days, FPV-transduced islets remained embedded in the clotted blood used to facilitate implantation. This phenomenon was TGF- beta transgene-independent, correlated with lack of cellular infiltration, and suggested that the FPV vector transformed the blood clot into a temporary immunological barrier.

To investigate these issues, two 1BL.1RS wheat lines, one with and one without Sr31, Lr26 and Yr9, were used as parents for a high-resolution F2 mapping family. Thirty-six recombinants were identified between two PCR markers 2.3 cM apart that flanked the resistance locus. In one recombinant, Lr26 was separated from Sr31 and Yr9. Mutation studies recovered mutants that separated all three rust resistance genes. Thus, together, the recombination and mutation studies suggest that Sr31, Lr26 and Yr9 are separate closely-linked genes. An additional 16 DNA markers were mapped in this region. Multiple RFLP markers, identified using part of the barley Mla powdery mildew resistance gene as probe, co-segregated with Sr31 and Yr9. One deletion mutant that had lost Sr31, Lr26 and Yr9 retained all Mla markers, suggesting that the family of genes on 1RS identified by the Mla probe does not contain the Sr31, Lr26 or Yr9 genes. The genetic stocks and DNA markers generated from this study should facilitate the future cloning of Sr31, Lr26 and Yr9.

An analysis of worldwide nature conservation efforts in mountains AN - 17177741; 6832430 AB - Mountains are regularly a focus of international efforts to conserve the environment and promote sustainable development. The present article analyses the extent of protection in mountainous compared to non-mountainous areas, sheds light on the rationales behind the establishment of mountain protected areas, and proposes directions for future conservation endeavours with reference to mountain protected areas. Results show that the surface covered by protected areas did not change much between 1930 and 1960. After which it grew exponentially, benefiting from the emergence of coordinated global conservation efforts. In 2005, total protected areas covered 16.3 million km super(2) (11.1%) of the land surface. Compared to the total respective surfaces, the proportion of mountain protected areas is slightly greater (11.4%) than the proportion of non-mountainous areas (11.0%). The main reasons for this can be found mainly in biophysical (biodiversity hotspots, endemism) and culturally embedded (uniqueness, sacredness) features, as well as in the relative remoteness and lower human population densities of mountains. However, in order to realise future sustainable conservation efforts in mountains (and elsewhere), people-oriented conservation approaches that call for ecologically sound, feasible and socially just protected area development will be needed.

Samples were collected twice during pregnancy and just after delivery. It was observed that total dialkyl phosphate metabolite levels in samples collected after delivery, were higher than in samples collected during pregnancy. Total DAP metabolite concentrations were log-normally distributed, whereas the dimethyl and diethyl phosphate molar concentrations were not. Median metabolite levels at the first and second prenatal sampling points and at the postpartum collection were 102.8, 106.8, and nmol/L respectively. Creatinine levels consistently decreased from the first prenatal sample through postpartum, with median levels of 98.3 mg/dL.

AN - 14762617; 10692094 AB - The effect of long-term ambient particulate matter (PM) on risk of fatal coronary disease (CHD) was investigated. Monthly indices of ambient air pollutant concentrations at 348 monitoring stations throughout California were interpolated to geographic ZIP code centroids according to home and home and work location histories of study participants. Daily estimates of ambient PM sub(2.5) concentration were obtained for 11 airsheds from daily measures of visibility collected at the nine California airports for the year 1973-1998 using regression equations relating PM sub(2.5) and visibility. Individual monthly average PM sub(2.5) concentrations were calculated as the mean of daily ambient PM sub(2.5) estimates for the airshed in which the participant resided. Time-dependent Cox proportional hazards regression modeling was used to study associations between pollutants. The lowest distribution of PM sub(2.5) lived in the airsheds represented by the San Diego, San Jose, Sacramento, and Almeda airports and medium levels were found in Fresno, Los Angeles International, Bakersfield, Long Beach, Ontario West, and Ontario Central.

All of the 18 pesticides and almost all of the 28 polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) that were analyzed in livers and gonads were detected in at least some of the tissue samples. The negative correlations were found between a number of physiologic parameters and tissue burdens of toxicants. The condition factor and the plasma triglycerides were also negatively correlated with total dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), total pesticides, and PCBs. The fish residing in the reservoir behind the oldest dam had the highest contaminant loads and incidence of gonadal abnormalities and the lowest triglyceride, condition factor, gonad size, and plasma androgens. The exposure to environmental contaminants could affect growth and reproductive physiology of sturgeon in some areas of the Columbia River.

The traditional analytical protocols in use were presented and the influence of confounding variables on lead concentration in whole blood (BPb) levels was assessed. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization defines a BPb pf 10 mu /dL as the threshold of concern in young children. The interpretation of BPb data with respect to both external and endogenous Pb exposure, past or recent exposure, as well as the significance of Pb determinations in human specimens including hair, nails, saliva, bone, blood, urine, feces, and exfoliated teeth was also discussed. The investigations reported the possibility of adverse health effects including intellectual impairment in young children at BPb levels<10 mu g/dL suggesting that there is no safe level of exposure.

The HPLC analysis of ground corncob bedding extracts characterized two components that disrupted endocrine function in male and female rates and stimulated breast and prostate cancer cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. The HPLC separated a synthetic mixture of LTX-diol and 12,13-dihydroxy-9-octadecenoic acid, i-LTX-isomers, and each isomer stimulated MCF-7 cell proliferation in an equivalent fashion. The LTX-diol isomers did not compete for [SUP>3] estradiol binding to the estrogen receptor or nuclear type II sites, even though oral administration of very low doses of these compounds disrupted estrous cyclicity in female rats. It was found that the LTX-diols did not disrupt male sexual behavior, suggesting that sex differences exist in response to these endocrine-disruptive agents.

These projects are funded within the Health Disparities Program (HDP), which addresses complex scientific research questions that determine the mechanisms through which the social and physical environments influence biological processes and behavior that contribute to health disparities. The projects offer insights into various ways of forming, working, and sustaining community-university partnerships in conducting community-based participatory research (CBPR). The projects demonstrate both the potential benefits and challenges involved with establishing partnerships between community groups and researches committed to the mutual goal of promoting environmental health. Projects also suggest the importance of nonprescriptive frameworks for conducting community-based participatory research that focuses on more equitable power relationships to address health disparities to help alleviate environmental health problems.

The study consisted of 30 healthy volunteers, 20-54 years of age that were medically examined before the first exposure. Blinking of the left eye was recorded by electromyography (EMG) using three skin electrodes, two on the orbicularis oculi muscle and one reference electrode on the cheekbone. Blinks were identified by comparisons against nine conditions related to the size, shape, and appearance of the pattern. Precorneal tear film stability was assessed by measuring the tear film break-up time and by scanning the precorneal tear film with a biomicroscope. Epithelial damage to the cornea and conjunctiva was assessed using a semi quantitative method. A washout effect with decreased biomarker concentrations was observed after repeated lavages following exposure to air.

Asthma was defined on the basis of wheezing at 4 years of age, persistent wheezing, or doctor-diagnosed asthma. Prenatal exposure of organochlorine compounds was measured in cord serum in 405 children, while immunoglobulin-E (IgE) was measured against house dust mite, cat, and grass in sera extracted at 4 years of age. DDE, hexachlorobenzene, and polychlorobiphenyls were detected in all the children. Wheezing at 4 years of age increased with DDE concentration, particularly at the highest quartile. DDE was not associated with atopy alone.

Six oiled gravel experiments were performed in which two included uninjected embryos only, three included AhR2 morphants (n>300), two included AhR1/AhR2 double morphants, and one included CYP1A morphants. For injections involving AhR1, embryos were selected on an epifluoresdent stereoscope based on fluorescence intensity and an even distribution in blastomeres. Antibodies used were monoclonal 1-12-3 against fish CYP1A, anti-myosin heavy chainmonochlonal MF20, and anti-atrial myosin heavy chain monoclonal S46. Treated or control embryos were marked by tail clipping and mixed for antibody labeling, mounted together, and imaged with identical settings for semi quantitative comparisons. At comparable time points, CYP1A morphants exposed to pyrene had defects that were less severe than those of controls.

Multivariate linear regression models were used to characterize the blood organochlorine levels of the residents that were analyzed using both environmental and individual covariates. The distance-to-site variable was created to represent a proxy for unknown and unmeasured unique contributions from the source. A significant inverse relationship was observed between blood dieldrin levels and residential distance from the potential source. The blood dieldrin levels were decreased to 1.6 ng/g for every mile of distance from the source, adjusting for age, sex, education level, smoking status, and drinking water source.

Epidemiologic analysis was supplemented by ethnographic interviews to provide detailed insights into the effects of this type of employment. Community based staff, as paid members of the research team, manage the local project office, recruit and retain participants, conduct interviews, coordinate physical assessments, and participate in outreach. It was observed that primary outcomes of interest were in upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders and function as well as quality of life.

The exposure data were collected with tapered element oscillation microbalance (TEOM) PM sub(2.5) monitors. It was found that FE sub(NO) was associated with hourly averages of PM sub(2.5) up to 10-12 hours after exposure. The sum of coefficients for the lag times associated with PM sub(2.5) in the model was 7.0 ppm FE sub(NO). A significant increase in FE sub(NO) associated with PM sub(2.5) was observed in the first 11 hr after exposure.

Nylon microarray with a limited and targeted number of well-characterized rat genes were used to identify gene expression profiles involved in the acute response to toxic doses of O sub(3). Two hours postexposure, rats were anesthetized by an ip injection of pentobarbital and exsanguinated by severing the dorsal aorta. RNA was treated with DNAse to remove any contaminating DNA and purified after phenol:chloroform extraction. Relative gene expression was quantified using real-time reverse transcriptase (RT). With exposure to O sub(3), statistically significant augmentation of expression was found in 62 genes at 2 ppm and 57 genes at 5 ppm O sub(3).

An approach based on examination of approximately 2,000 internal company documents and 3,885 pages of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency documents obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests were used for the analysis. The tobacco industry successfully altered the outcome in two cases by hiring ex-agency scientists to write reports favorable to industry positions regarding pesticide regulations for national and international regulatory bodies. The industry is working to forestall tobacco pesticide regulation by attempting to self-regulate in Europe. The tobacco industry is able to exert considerable influence over the pesticide regulatory process. The increased scrutiny of the process and protection of the public interest in pesticide regulation could be warranted.

It considers race-based residential segregation and associated concentrations of poverty and wealth to be fundamental factors influencing multiple, and more proximate predictors of cardiovascular risks. HEP investigates the prevalence of biologic indicators of cardiovascular disease risk (CVD) and the extent to which these inequalities are mediated through social and physical environmental exposures, with implications for proximate factors. HEP model aims to disseminate and translate findings to inform new and established intervention and policy efforts through HEP community outreach and education program (COEP). HEP seeks to contribute to an understanding of factors that contributes to racial and socioeconomic health inequities, and develops a foundation for efforts to eliminate disparities in Detroit.

The blood samples for PBDE analysis were collected from 94 anglers fishing from piers on the lower Hudson River and Newark Bay, and frequency of local fish consumption was assessed by questionnaire. Lipid-adjusted and non-lipid-adjusted geometric mean (GM) concentrations of the individual PBDE congeners were calculated and stratified by fish consumption category. Anglers reporting consumption of local fish had higher concentrations of PBDE than did anglers who did not eat local fish. The moderate dose-response relationships were found between serum PBDE levels and frequency of reported fish intake for some congeners.

Blood and bone lead levels, and from historical records, calculated lead dose metrics reflecting cumulative lead exposure, working-lifetime integrated blood lead (IBL) and working-lifetime weighted-average blood lead (TWA) were measured. A screening neuropsychological battery was administered to 468 current and retired smelter workers by testers blinded to the degree of lead exposure of the worker. Age, current alcohol use, current use, current smoking, ES, and lead exposure metrices were examined using univariate descriptive statistics to check for data entry. It was observed that the thresholds by fiber population decreased from large myelinated nerve fibers to small myelinated nerve fibers and more so for small unmyelinated nerve fibers.

Plants that Exude Phytase when Grown in Soils with a Range of Organic P Content AN - 1034828492; 17024526 AB - Growth and P-nutrition of transgenic Trifolium subterraneum L. which express a chimeric fungal phytase gene (ex::phyA) was compared to azygous and wild-type controls in a range of soils that differed in organic P content. Shoot and root growth by plant lines were measured and effects of reducing the influence of soil microorganisms were investigated by pasteurising the soils. Plants that expressed phyA did not have better P-nutrition than control plants after 56 days growth, except in a soil that contained a large concentration of both total organic P and organic P that was amenable to hydrolysis by a plant-derived phytase. Pasteurisation had little effect on the relative P-nutrition of the various plant lines in any of the soils. Roots of transgenic plants that expressed ex::phyA were shorter than controls up to 21 days growth in a number of soils, which resulted in an initial greater P accumulation efficiency. However, greater P accumulation efficiency was only maintained in the soil where significant growth and P nutrition responses were also observed. Availability of inositol phosphates in soil is a major factor that limits the effectiveness of expressing fungal phytase genes in plants as a means to improve P-nutrition. Reducing the influence of rhizosphere microorganisms appeared to have little effect on the P-nutrition of plant lines, but the longer root system produced by control plants may have initially provided them with greater access to soil P resources. This research highlights the inherent difficulty in improving the P-nutrition of plants by the manipulation of single traits in isolation, but does provide some evidence that such approaches can be successful under certain edaphic conditions.

AN - 68777790; 16260049 AB - The chronic toxicity (72-h cell division rate) of uranium (U) to the unicellular alga, Chlorella sp., was assessed in natural Magela Creek water (NMCW) to provide data for the derivation of a site-specific water quality trigger value for U in Magela Creek, NT, Australia. In addition, the data were compared to those for Chlorella sp. when tested for U toxicity using synthetic Magela Creek water (SMCW), which simulates the inorganic composition of Magela Creek water and contains no organic component. Based on one rangefinder and four definitive toxicity tests, concentrations causing a 50% inhibition of algal growth after 72 h exposure (72 h IC50s) ranged between 137 and 238 microg/LU, no-observed-effect concentrations (NOECs) from 72 to 157 microg/LU and lowest-observed-effect concentrations (LOECs) from 120 to 187 microg/LU. Based on these data, Chlorella sp. was the second most sensitive organism to U of five local species that have been assessed using NMCW. The U toxicity data for Chlorella sp. were incorporated with existing data for the four other species to derive a site-specific guideline value for Magela Creek that is protective of 99% of species of 6 microg/L. The toxicity of U to Chlorella sp. in NMCW was approximately two to four times lower than in SMCW. Based on geochemical speciation modelling, this difference corresponded to a four-fold decrease in the proportion of free uranyl ion (UO2(2+)) in NMCW compared to SMCW, most likely due to the presence of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in NMCW. Relatively, large variability in U toxicity across the tests conducted in NMCW was found to be inversely related to DOC concentration (r2 = 0.996, n = 4, P = 0.002). Speciation modelling indicated that the increase in DOC was associated with an increase in the proportion of U complexed with DOC (r2 = 0.986, n = 4, P < 0.001) and a decrease in the proportion of the UO2(2+) (r2 = 0.989, n = 4, P = 0.006). When the proportion of UO2(2+) was regressed against U toxicity, a very strong, positive relationship was observed (r2 = 1, n = 4, P < 0.001). The results indicate that the bioavailability and toxicity of U is highly influenced by dissolved organic matter and that the relationship should be further quantified.

AN - 68846667; 16293693 AB - We have identified mutant alleles of two sporophytically acting genes, HAIKU2 (IKU2) and MINISEED3 (MINI3). Homozygotes of these alleles produce a small seed phenotype associated with reduced growth and early cellularization of the endosperm. This phenotype is similar to that described for another seed size gene, IKU1. MINI3 encodes WRKY10, a WRKY class transcription factor. MINI3 promoter::GUS fusions show the gene is expressed in pollen and in the developing endosperm from the two nuclei stage at approximately 12 hr postfertilization to endosperm cellularization at approximately 96 hr. MINI3 is also expressed in the globular embryo but not in the late heart stage of embryo development. The early endosperm expression of MINI3 is independent of its parent of origin. IKU2 encodes a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) KINASE (At3g19700). IKU2::GUS has a similar expression pattern to that of MINI3. The patterns of expression of the two genes and their similar phenotypes indicate they may operate in the same genetic pathway. Additionally, we found that both MINI3 and IKU2 showed decreased expression in the iku1-1 mutant. IKU2 expression was reduced in a mini3-1 background, whereas MINI3 expression was unaltered in the iku2-3 mutant. These data suggest the successive action of the three genes IKU1, IKU2, and MINI3 in the same pathway of seed development.

AN - 68675450; 16046059 AB - Fly ash samples modified by NaOH solution and sonochemical treatment were tested for a basic dye (methylene blue) adsorption in aqueous solution. It is found that sonochemical treatment of fly ash can significantly increase the adsorption capacity depending on the concentration of NaOH and treatment time. The untreated FA and the sonochemically treated sample exhibits adsorption capacity at 6 x 10(-6)mol/g and 1.2 x 10(-5)mol/g at 30 degrees C, respectively. The adsorption tests show that solution pH and adsorption temperature also influence the adsorption behaviour. The adsorption isotherms can be fitted by Langmuir and Freudlich models, while the two-site Langmuir heterogeneous model will present the best result.

AN - 68673987; 16081211 AB - Unburned carbon in fly ash is an important by-product from coal combustion. In this investigation, unburned carbon has been separated from fly ash and been employed as a low cost adsorbent for a basic dye adsorption (Rhodamine B) in aqueous solution. Adsorption isotherm and kinetics of adsorption have been investigated using batch experiments. It is found that dye adsorption capacity depends on initial concentration, pH of solution, and temperature. The adsorption isotherm can be described by Langmuir model and the adsorption capacity of Rhodamine B at 30, 40, and 50 degrees C can reach 9.7 x 10(-5), 1.14 x 10(-4), and 1.5 x 10(-4)mol g(-1), respectively. The pseudo first- and second-order kinetic models have been employed to fit the dynamic adsorption. It is found that the dynamic adsorption follows the pseudo second-order model. Thermodynamic calculations indicate that the adsorption is endothermic reaction with DeltaH degrees at 25 kJ mol(-1).

AN - 68915832; 16222478 AB - We describe the case of a primary cervical tumor in a 6-year-old child that was originally suspected to be an embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma botryoides. Histologic analysis revealed a clear cell adenocarcinoma. Despite a direct search and questioning for maternal exposure to diethylstilbestrol, this was not documented. Clear cell adenocarcinoma is an extremely rare neoplasm that should be kept in the differential diagnosis of cervicovaginal lesions in children, even in the absence of a clinical history of in utero diethylstilbestrol exposure. We discuss the hypothesized pathogenesis and review the literature on this unusual tumor.

A CBO Paper AN - 62008444; ED496557 AB - The federal government assists students and their parents in meeting the costs of postsecondary education through two student loan programs, the Federal Family Education Loan Program and the William D. Ford Direct Loan Program. Although the two programs provide similar benefits to borrowers, their structures and operations differ greatly. As a result, the federal government's cash flows for the two programs differ, as do its net budgetary costs when calculated as specified in the Federal Credit Reform Act. This Congressional Budget Office (CBO) paper--prepared at the request of the Senate Budget Committee--describes how the agency estimates the budgetary costs of the two student loan programs and what factors account for the differences in those costs. The following are appended: (1) Sample Subsidy Rates When a Borrower Defaults or Consolidates Loans; (2) Examples of Subsidy Calculated Using Fixed Interest Rates That Take Effect in 2006; (3) CBO's Estimates of Subsidy Rates for Various Types of Guaranteed and Direct Student Loans Made in 2006; and (4) Recent Legislative and Administrative Actions Affecting the Student Loan Programs.

At the end of 2004, the OASDI trust funds held almost $1.7 trillion in Federal government bonds and notes. It is projected that the trust funds assets will be equivalent to over 20 percent of GDP by 2020. Several recent studies have concluded that the increases in the trust funds have been more than offset by reductions in surpluses elsewhere in the federal budget. Consequently, public saving has fallen as a result of the trust fund build-up since the mid-1980s.

We postulated that BV induces the appearance of substances in the genital tract that stimulate HIV expression locally. To test this, we measured HIV RNA levels in genital mucosal fluid from women with or without BV (defined by Nugent score) and compared them with the ability of those fluids to stimulate HIV expression in the chronically HIV-infected monocytic line U1. The U1 activity was significantly higher in women with BV (median = 1320 pg/ml p24) than in women with normal flora (median = 103 pg/ml p24, p = 0.0001). However, levels of the U1 activity were not significantly associated with levels in the genital tract of HIV RNA. Levels of the U1 activity were also not associated with levels of Gardnerella vaginalis or Mycoplasma hominis in genital fluids, suggesting these bacteria were not the source of the activity. Thus, while these data show a strong association of U1 stimulatory activity with BV, no influence of the U1 activity on genital tract HIV expression was observed.

Emission rates were calculated for four operational modes corresponding to 0%, 25%, 50% and 100% of the maximum rated engine power. In a given mode the calculated CO2 emission rates were approximately the same for all vehicles, but the calculated particle number emission rates varied considerably between vehicles. Using concentrations measured directly from the dilution tunnel, we found that the ratio of diluted particle number concentration, to diluted CO2 concentration (P/C ratio) was directly proportional to the calculated undiluted particle number emission concentration, with a high degree of correlation. These observations suggest that the P/C ratio within the diluted sample is a good indicator of the particle number emission concentration for the undiluted exhaust. This was confirmed by grouping the vehicles according to age whence the newest age group, expected to have the cleanest emissions, always showed the lowest P/C ratio. An additional series of experiments were conducted on-road with a light duty diesel vehicle, at speeds ranging from 40 to 100kmha1. The diluted exhaust emissions were collected in a large bag housed in a trailer attached to the back of the vehicle. Various dilution ratios were achieved by sampling over a range of distances directly behind the vehicle tail-pipe outlet. As expected, the particle number concentration in the bag, for different distances and therefore different dilution ratios, showed a definite relationship to the dilution ratio, however the P/C ratio was independent of dilution for dilution ratios in the range 20-110. Based on the results of the dynamometer and on-road studies, it is suggested that the P/C ratio may be used as a viable method for the rapid identification of high particle number emitting vehicles as they drive past on a road. The technique has the added advantage that it is independent of the position of the sampling point in relation to the emission plume.

Pelde) growth and development under certain rice-growing conditions. Experiments showed that inoculation of seedlings with approximately less than 10 cells of 1021 was sufficient to cause this inhibition. By using a series of plasmid-cured and plasmid-deleted derivatives of Rm2011, it was found that interactions between genes encoded on pSymA, and possibly pSymB, of Rm2011, affected rice growth and development by affecting both-either the plant and-or the bacteria. Further studies found that genes potentially related to indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) synthesis and nitrate metabolism, encoded on pSymA, were involved in rice growth inhibition in Sm1021- and Sm2011-treated rice seedlings. We conclude that the rice growth inhibition by S. meliloti Sm1021 is pSymA-associated and is induced by environmental nitrate.

We examined the genetic structure of the aerial seed bank of Banksia hookeriana within a single 15-year-old population in fire-prone southwestern Australia, and compared genetic variation between adults and each year of a 9-year-old seed bank using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP). B. hookeriana is well suited to the study of seed bank dynamics due to the canopy storage of its seeds, and because each annual crop can be identified. A total of 304 seeds from nine crop years and five maternal plants were genotyped, along with 113 plants from the adult population. Genetic variation, as assessed by the proportion of polymorphic markers (P sub(p)) and Shannon's index (I), increased slightly within the seed bank over time, while gene diversity (H sub(j)), did not change. P sub(p), I, and H sub(j) all indicated that genetic variation within the seed bank quickly approached the maximal level detected. Analysis of molecular variance revealed that less than 4% of variation could be accounted for by variation among seeds produced in different years, whereas there was greater differentiation among maternal plants (12.7%), and among individual seeds produced by different maternal plants (83.4%). With increasing population age, offspring generated each year were slightly more outbred, as indicated by an increase in the mean number of nonmaternal markers per offspring. There were no significant differences for H sub(j) or I between adults and the seed bank. Viability of seeds decreased with age, such that the viability of 9-year-old seeds was half that of 2-year-old seeds. These results suggest that variable fire frequencies have only limited potential to influence the amount of genetic variation stored within the seed bank of B. hookeriana.

The behaviour of juvenile P. merguiensis within habitats of different structural complexity was also examined. Experiments were carried out in a tank (1.8 m diameter) divided into four habitats representing: bare substratum, leaf litter (little vertical structure), mangrove pneumatophores (regular vertical structure) and mangrove woody debris (heterogeneous vertical structure). The location of 10 prawns was monitored over 270 min (135 min light and 135 min dark), with different prawns five times for each combination of prawn size class, and predator (no predator; Arius graeffei Kner and Steindachner and Lates calcarifer Bloch). In the absence of predators and during the light phase, when observations on prawn behaviour were made, swimming was the most common behaviour (of seven mutually exclusive behavioural categories) with few differences in behaviour between sizes. All size classes of juvenile P. merguiensis selected vertical structure (mangrove debris and pneumatophores) over low vertical structure (leaf litter and bare substratum), in both light and dark conditions and in the presence or absence of predators. When L. calcarifer was present, the selection by prawns of the mangrove-debris habitat increased significantly. This was attributed to an increase in predation risk in the other habitats.

Results suggested that organotins inhibited 11 beta -HSD2 by a mostly reversible, mixed-competitive model of inhibition. Organotin-induced inhibition was prevented by the dithiol DTT but not by the endogenous monothiol glutathione, which suggested that two cysteine residues could be involved in the inhibition mechanism. The potency of the organotins in inhibiting 11 beta -HSD2 was equal to or greater than that reported for other enzymes involved in steroid hormone metabolism. The increased glucocorticoid-mediated effects due to the inhibition of 11 beta -HSD2 would be expected to disturb several essential physiologic processes, especially in terms of the regulation of proliferation and differentiation in various tissues.

The study was designed to result in the maximum rate of contamination of herbage and topsoil. Gonocyte, Sertoli, and Leydig cell numbers were determined per testis, and Sertoli cell and gonocyte proliferation indices were determined. In addition, fetal serum levels of follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone were measured by radioimmunoassays. Results showed that long-term exposure of the breeding ewes to a mixture of chemicals added to pasture in sewage sludge caused major reductions in the numbers and hormonal function of Sertoli and Leydig cells, as well as a parallel reduction in the numbers of fetal germ cells. The changes were associated with growth restriction of male and female fetuses. The numerical changes in Sertoli and Leydig cells in the treated animals were matched by parallel reductions in hormone production by the two cell types. No significant differences were found, however, in the levels of either follicle-stimulating hormone or luteinizing hormone levels, but plasma inhibin A concentrations were decreased significantly in the sludge-exposed animals.

A model of the analyticdeliberative risk-management framework is presented, and three examples are provided that illustrate approaches to framing exercises, which come mainly from established connections between University of Washington, Seattle, researchers and community partners. The examples, which concern seafood safety, are used to explore a range of options for increasing community involvement in shaping the scientific approaches used in risk management. The examples demonstrate a range of possibilities in terms of the questions asked, the way they were formulated and pursued, how experts were involved, and how they were funded. They illustrate how framing helped in capacity building, how they balanced competing concerns, and how the communities benefited from the research.

The mothers aged 2534 yr and had no history of smoking or of taking alcohol during pregnancy. Placenta samples were analyzed for dioxin and PCB levels, and cord serum samples were analyzed for thyroid hormones. For the upper-median exposure groups, levels of triiodothyronine, thyroxine, and thyroid-binding globulin were higher in cord blood, and the increases in thyroxine and thyroid-binding globulin levels increased with increasing dioxin levels after adjusting for maternal age and PCB exposure. In addition, free thyroxine thyroid-stimulating hormone levels decreased with increasing levels of non-ortho PCBs, which remained significant after adjusting for other dioxin and PCB congeners. Significant increases in insulin-like growth factor-binding globulin-3 were noted also in high-exposure female infants.

The organs sampled included adrenal gland, brain, bladder, colon, gonad, heart, kidney, liver, lung, skin, and thyroid. The observed patterns of CYP1A1 expression were consistent with a strong induction of CYP1A1, with CYP1A1 expression observed in vascular endothelial cells in multiple organs of all animals examined, including all lung and skin samples and nearly all bladder, testes, and adrenal samples. The high levels of CYP1A1 expression in all three populations were consistent with the high sensitivity of the specie to CYP1A inducers.

The study was conducted in a controlled environment facility where the subjects were exposed to VOCs at a concentration of 26 mg/m super(3), the same concentration of VOCs plus ozone at a concentration of 40 ppb, or ambient air with a 1-min spike of VOCs at a concentration of 2.5 mg/m super(3). Health and stress effects were measured before, during, and after each exposure period, which lasted 140 min. Despite significant differences in the chemical composition of the air under the three exposure conditions, no significant subjective or objective health effects from exposure to the VOC mixture with and without O sub(3) were observed. While stress did not appear to exacerbate the exposure effects, stress significantly increased symptoms of anxiety, and the effect of stress was validated by the significant difference in cortisol levels of those who received the stressor relative to subjects who did not.

Six repeat studies of 4 h/d, 1- and 2-d exposures were conducted, with one group exposed to clean air and another to CAPs using the EPA fine-mode CAP exposure system. A barometric whole-body plethysmograph system was used to obtain data on pulmonary ventilation, and blood chemistry and cytology were examined, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was analyzed to determine lung injury. Results revealed rat strain-specific and relatively consistent effects in the selected group of biologic variables, but the changes in the variables were not correlated with CAP mass. The data suggested that water-soluble metals and organic enrichment of the particles were more critical in eliciting acute health effects.

Rats inhaled an ultrafine titanium dioxide aerosol of 22 nm count median diameter for 1 h in the in vivo experiments, and the intrapulmonary distribution of deposited particles was analyzed immediately or 24 h after the end of the exposure. Cultured porcine pulmonary macrophages and human red blood cells were exposed to fluorescent polystyrene microspheres in the in vitro experiment, and particle uptake was assessed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Results from the in vivo experiments revealed that 1 h after aerosol inhalation, 24% of ultrafine TiO sub(2) particles were located within and beyond the epithelial barrier, and some particle translocation into the microvasculature was observed. Particles found within cells were not membrane-bound, indicating a nonendocytic uptake. The data showed that 80% of the retained TiO sub(2) particles were still on the luminal side of the epithelium even 24 h after inhalation. Microscopic analyses of phagocytic and nonphagocytic cells incubated with different particle types in the in vitro experiment showed that macrophages took up fine and ultrafine polystyrene microspheres, and ultrafine polystyrene and gold particles also entered the red blood cells and were not membrane-bound.

During summer 2002, specimens of two species of hylids and four of ranids were collected from 42 wetlands in the Lake Champlain Basin of Vermont, which were selected along an urbanization gradient ranging from relatively undisturbed forest habitat to rural communities, to neighborhoods in Burlington. For each wetland, on-side field observations were used to determine whether agriculture or lawns were located proximate to the wetland, and water samples were analyzed for pH, conductivity, DO, temperature, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus, as well as for parasitic infection in snails. Overall, 1.6% of the specimens showed evidence of non-traumatic limb malformation, and the site-specific rate of malformation ranged 010.2%. Statistical analysis revealed that the risk of malformation increased with increasing Gosner stage and, especially, with proximity to agriculture.

Data were collected on various co-morbidities, including diabetes and hypertension, and morning first-voided urine and blood samples were obtained for analysis. The biomarkers included cystatin C in serum for calculating the glomerular filtration rate, creatinine clearance as markers of glomerular function, and human complex-forming protein, N-acetyl- beta -D-glucosaminidase (NAG), and calcium in urine as markers of tubular damage. Clear associations were found between Cd and human complex-forming protein and NAG, even at low levels of Cd exposure. A clear association was also found between Cd and the glomerular filtration rate or creatinine clearance in smokers.

The participants were interviewed to ascertain whether they had used hair gel/hair spray, lotion, aftershave, cologne, or deodorant in the 48 h prior to urine sample collection, and they were asked to record the time they last used the products within the 48-h period. Measurement of monoester metabolites in the urine samples entailed enzymatic deconjugation of the phthalates from their glucuronidated form, solid-phase extraction, high-performance liquid chromatographic separation, and tandem mass spectrometric detection. Results showed that men who used cologne and/or aftershave within the 48-h prior to urine collection had higher urinary levels of monoethyl phthalate (MEP), and a strong doseresponse relationship was discerned between the number of product types used during the period and urinary MEP levels. The use of body lotion was associated with lower levels of monobutyl phthalate, monobenzyl phthalate, and mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, although lotion use within 3 h before urine collection was a predictor for monobutyl phthalate concentration.

The brevetoxin congener, PbTx-3, was used. Results indicated that the majority of brevetoxin in blood was not immediately biologically available, binding possibly to cellular elements in blood or to the fluid matrix. Dialysis of radiolabeled PbTx-3 spiked plasma revealed that 39% of the radiolabel was retained by the plasma fractions, and <6.8% of that was accounted for by binding to albumin. Brevetoxin added to mouse plasma localized to high-density lipoprotein fractions after being purified by iodixanol gradient ultracentrifugation and characterized by agarose gel electrophoresis mobility.

The studies included: apple thinners exposed to pesticides when re-entering fields after applications, children of agricultural pesticide applicators, children living in the Seattle metropolitan area whose parents had no occupational exposure to pesticides, children living in an agricultural community whose parents were not involved significantly in agricultural production, and children living in households with adults employed as farmworkers. In total, the studies included 437 children and 233 adults, each of whom provided several urine samples. Results revealed relatively high levels of metabolites among applicator children compared with the other study groups. The metabolite levels were quite similar, however, between farmworker children sampled in 1999 and Seattle metropolitan area children sampled in 1998, especially in terms of dimethylthiophosphate, while the levels of dimethyl alkylphosphate were significantly higher among the Seattle children compared with those in the farmworker children. Diet appeared to be the primary contributor to organophosphorus pesticide exposure among the Seattle children, as the dimethyl alkylphosphate level for children consuming organic juice and produce was approximately five times lower than that for children on conventional diets. The results highlighted the importance of sampling timing in biomarker studies of pesticide exposure.

The compound was first detected at high concentrations in monitoring wells in California during the early 1990s, and the EPA-derived reference dose has been set at 0.0007 mg/kg/d. A review is provided of the possible genetic factors that might lead to different responses in exposed individuals. Described and discussed are the mode of action of perchlorate in humans, thyroid hormone synthesis, and relevant studies of perchlorate in humans. Possible homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations of genes are identified that are involved in thyroid iodine synthesis that cause hypothyroidism, which could be used to define a potential susceptible population to perchlorate exposure.

The effects, which were examined in the human macrophage cell line, U937, included the inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha ), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). The cell line was also exposed to TCDD. Results showed that both particle types caused the induction of COX-2, TNF alpha , CCAAT/enhancer binding protein beta , IL-6, and IL-8. Exposure to the particles also resulted in a significant elevation of C-reactive protein mRNA and protein levels, and accumulation of total cholesterol was increased significantly in DEP- or UDP-treated macrophages. In addition to the induction of COX-2 and TNF alpha , a dose-dependent increase of IL-8 mRNA levels was observed in cells treated with TCDD. The organic extract of DEP was significantly more effective in inducing COX-2, IL-8, and TNF alpha than native particle DEP, while the organic extract of UDP led to a similar increase compared to its native particle UDP.

Discussed are the observed NO sub(3) levels in groundwater and drinking-water supplies, the risk of methemoglobinemia due to elevated levels of methemoglobin, especially in infants exposed to NO sub(3), and NO sub(3) intake and endogenous formation of N-nitroso compounds of which NO sub(3) is a precursor. The health effects associated with drinking-water NO sub(3) are identified also, including cancer, adverse reproductive outcomes, and other health outcomes. Recommendations are proposed for further research in the area, utilizing experimental/human biomonitoring studies and epidemiologic studies.

Personal exposure to UFPs was measured for 18 h on weekdays, six times for each person, from March through June 2003. Mononuclear blood cells were isolated from venous blood samples in the morning after each exposure measurement day, and oxidative DNA damage was assessed. Results showed that oxidative DNA base damage in circulating mononuclear blood cells was associated with personal exposure to UFPs, and short-term higher-intensity exposure in traffic was associated with elevated levels of damage. Cumulated outdoor and indoor exposures contributed independently to the association, which exhibited clear doseresponse relationships. Significant associations were also found between personal exposure to black smoke and oxidation of plasma proteins, and a similar association between the mass of the filter material and lipid peroxidation in plasma was found, although it was significant only among women. Personal exposure to UFPs when bicycling in traffic was related inversely to temperature and wind speed.

AN - 14761318; 10691153 AB - Liver tissues were obtained from polar bears Ursus maritimus in East Greenland, and histology was examined and compared with individual organohalogen contaminant adipose tissue levels. Portal mononuclear cell infiltrations were found in 18% of the animals, and multifocally mononuclear cell infiltrations were found in 12% of the bears, while lipid granulomas were observed in 76%. All animals showed hepatocytic microvesicular lipid accumulation, and 84% showed sharply demarcated macrovesicular lipid vacuoles in mainly periacinary hepatocytes. Mild bile duct proliferation accompanied by portal fibrosis were found in only 8% of the animals. For females, a significant relationship was found between the sum of hexachlorocyclohexane concentrations and hepatocytic macrovesicular lipids, and for adult males, a significant relationship was found between hexachlorobenzene concentrations and lipid granulomas.

The questionnaire considered core questions on asthma and allergies, as well as general health status, family history of disease, activities, and indoor and outdoor exposures. Each child was assigned an estimate of regional PM sub(10) for the year preceding the questionnaire date, and the association between changing air-pollution levels and changes in respiratory health was explored statistically. Results showed that decreasing levels of PM sub(10) were associated with declining prevalence rates of respiratory symptoms and diseases associated with air pollution. The beneficial effects were observed for relatively small changes in rather moderate air-pollution levels, but a larger reduction was noted in symptom rates in areas with a stronger decrease in PM sub(10) levels.

The animals were exposed to concentrated ambient particles, which were characterized in terms of secondary sulfate, resuspended soil, residual oil combustion, and other components. Results showed that the resuspended soil component was associated strongly with a transient decrease in heart rate during exposure, while the secondary sulfate component was associated strongly with a transient heart rate decrease in the afternoon after the day's exposure. The residual oil combustion component was related strongly to an increase in heart rate variability in the afternoon of the day's exposure, and the secondary sulfate and resuspended dust components were associated strongly with heart rate variability in the nighttime period.

The data were examined using a flexible single-chemical-required (FSCR) method of analysis, which assumed that the effects of the mixture would be predicted by the constraint of Berenbaum's definition of additivity. No visible signs of toxicity were observed after the short-term exposures. Results showed that the single-chemical and mixture data were modeled successfully using the FSCR model. A very wide range of effective doses of the chemicals was found to decrease thyroid hormone concentrations. The additivity model underestimated the actual toxic effect of the mixture at the three highest doses tested, but the effects of the three lower doses of the mixture were not significantly different than those predicted by the additivity model. Overall, exposure to the mixture resulted in dose-dependent greater-than-additive effects on thyroxine concentrations at the highest mixture doses.

Transgenesis with thyroid hormone-responsive elements coupled to either luciferase or green fluorescent protein were utilized to follow triiodothyronine-dependent transcription in vivo. To shorten the response time, a short, weak pulse of triiodothyronine was applied that induced thyroid hormone receptors, which facilitated and synchronized the transcriptional responses. As illustration, results are presented from an application of the protocol to acetochlor-exposed tadpoles.

Despite the obvious dependence of plant-dwelling arthropods on plants, there are few empirical tests to show if restoring the plants also restores the plant-dwelling arthropods, or if other factors inhibit recolonisation. This paper tests the congruence in reassembly trajectory between these two groups and the role of dispersal capabilities on arthropod recolonisation, using Hemiptera. Plants and arthropods were sampled along a chronosequence of individual mine pits representing increasing ages since restoration works, and surrounding unmined forest. Changes in the richness, composition and structural complexity of the vegetation are described. These data are compared to Hemiptera sampled by beating and vacuuming over 18 months. Following the initial establishment of vegetation, the richness of plant species remains at a plateau as pits age, and below that found in unmined forest. In contrast, some structural attributes of the vegetation in pits become more similar to the forest with time. As pits age, dead vegetation below 20cm thickens and living midstorey vegetation thins. Plant species composition changes with time but is not tracking directly toward unmined forest. The abundance and richness of hemipteran species remain constant as pits age (~74.5 species), at a similar value to that in the forest. Recolonisation by Hemiptera that are brachypterous (with permanently reduced wings) is markedly slower than for winged taxa. That said, the compositions of plant and hemipteran species follow a similar trajectory after mining (i.e., there is high congruence between the two taxa). Hemipteran species composition in the oldest pits sampled (9-year-old) is not tracking directly toward that found in unmined forest. We conclude that for plant-dwelling arthropods, the early stages of reassembly are characterised by a high abundance of a generalist species and the slow recolonisation by specialist taxa and fauna with limited dispersal abilities (e.g., brachypters). Thereafter, return to a composition similar to that prior to the disturbance depends upon the progress of vegetation reassembly. To obtain plant-dwelling arthropod assemblages characteristic of unmined forest, restoration must reinstate the plant species and structural complexity of the vegetation found in the forest (particularly long-lived species and ground covers).

AN - 68656418; 16201951 AB - Because of growing concern about violence in health care in Australia, we reviewed the relevant data on incidents involving violence collected using the Australian Incident Monitoring System (AIMS). Among 42 338 incidents reported from 1 July 2000 to 30 June 2002, 3621 (9% of all incidents) involved patients and physical violence or violent verbal exchange; staff injury was reported in 5% of cases. The proportion was higher in emergency departments (16%, with frequent involvement of mental health problems or alcohol or drug intoxication) and mental health units (28%). Contributing factors include changes in our society and in mental health service provision. With the closure of public psychiatric hospitals in the past decade, more patients with mental illness are seeking care in public hospital emergency departments. AIMS analysis highlights the importance of understanding the contributing and precipitating factors in violent incidents, and supports a variety of preventive initiatives, including de-escalation training for staff; violence management plans; improved building design to protect staff and patients; and fast-tracking of patients with mental health problems as well as improved waiting times in public hospital emergency services. We recommend that a national system be developed to share and compare incident monitoring data, to monitor trends, and to facilitate learning and thinking at all levels - ward, department, hospital, state and national.

The complex flow phenomena that result in many variable-density flow problems often means that the intercode testing (and the evaluation of results from variable-density flow models more generally) is largely limited to a visual inspection of isochlor distributions. Visual inspection can often be quite subjective, prone to errors and may not allow easy detection of discrepancies, especially when they are small. Moreover, a match of certain isochlors at a number of prescribed time intervals does not necessarily enure the model is adequately tested. Recently, the well-studied Elder problem has been the subject of significant discussion in the research literature. Authors such as Diersch and Kolditz (2002) have shown that the solutions obtained to the Elder problem are dependent upon the level of grid discretization used. Simpson and Clement (2003) stated that the results of the Elder problem can only be matched in a qualitative sense because the problem is highly sensitive to discretization. In this paper, a number of quantitative indicators are developed that can be used for a more rigorous quantitative evaluation of results of variable-density flow models. They may also find application in future model benchmarking practice.Original Abstract: Utilisation d'indicateurs quantitatifs pour l'evaluation de modeles d'ecoulement a densite variable de l'eau souterraine. On evalue generalement les modeles de transport a densite variable en comparant les resultats obtenus grace a ces modeles aux resultats de trois essais standards: (1) le probleme 'dome de sel' HYDROCOIN, niveau 1, cas 5--Organisation de cooperation et de developpement economiques (OCDE 1988), (2) la solution analytique approximative de Henry (1964) pour l'intrusion d'eau salee en regime permanent, et (3) le probleme de Elder (1976) pour la convection naturelle complexe, ou l'ecoulement du fluide est engendre par les seules differences de densite. Les phenomenes complexes d'ecoulement qui resultent de plusieurs problemes d'ecoulement a densite variable signifient souvent que la comparaison entre codes (et l'evaluation des resultats des modeles d'ecoulement a densite variable en general) est largement limitee a l'inspection visuelle des isocontours. L'inspection visuelle peut souvent etre assez subjective, elle peut comporter des erreurs, et il peut etre difficile, par ce moyen, de detecter des differences, surtout lorsqu'elles sont faibles. De plus, la verification des isocontours pour un nombre determine d'intervalles de temps ne garantit pas que le modele ait ete mis a l'epreuve de facon satisfaisante. Recemment, le modele elabore de Elder a ete l'objet de plusieurs discussions significatives dans la litterature de la recherche. Des auteurs comme Diersch and Kolditz (2002) ont demontre que les solutions obtenues pour le probleme d'Elder dependaient du niveau de discretisation du maillage utilise. Simpson et Clement (2003) ont affirme que les resultats du probleme d'Elder pouvaient seulement etre compares d'une maniere qualitative, puisque la discretisation influe de maniere marquee sur le probleme. Dans cet article, une serie d'indicateurs quantitatifs sont mis sur pied pour permettre une utilisation plus rigoureuse de l'evaluation quantitative des resultats de modeles d'ecoulement a densite variable. Ces indicateurs pourraient egalement trouver leur utilite dans la pratique de la calibration des modeles.Utilizacion de indicadores cuantitativos para evaluar los resultados de modelos de flujo de aguas subterraneas de densidad variable.

AN - 68772272; 16272748 AB - The binding of drugs to plasma proteins, such as albumin and alpha1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) is a major determinant in the disposition of drugs. A topology analysis of drug binding sites on HSA and AGP was determined using various methods, including spectroscopy, QSAR, photoaffinity labeling and site directed mutagenesis. Recombinant albumin was found to be useful for rapidly identifying drug binding sites. The binding sites on AGP are not completely separated but are partially overlapped, and Trp, Tyr, Lys and His residues in the drug binding pockets play important roles in this process. Drug displacement is somewhat complex, due to the involvement of multiple effects. The reduced binding in uremic patients may be explained by a mechanism that involves a combination of direct displacement by free fatty acids as well as cascade effects of free fatty acids and unbound uremic toxins for significant inhibition in serum binding. Albumin-containing dialysate is useful for the extracorporeal removal of endogenous toxins and in the treatment of drug overdoses. Oxidized albumin is a useful biomarker for the quantitative and qualitative evaluation of oxidative stress. Interestingly, AGP undergoes a structural transition to a unique structure that differs from the native and denatured states, when it interacts with membranes.

AN - 68759206; 16268151 AB - High-molecular weight (> C16) hydrocarbons (HMWHs) are common pollutants in sediments of freshwater systems, particularly urban water bodies. No sediment quality guidelines exist for total hydrocarbons; more emphasis is placed on polyaromatic hydrocarbons, the most toxic component of hydrocarbons. A field-based microcosm experiment was conducted to determine whether unpolluted sediments spiked with synthetic motor oil impair freshwater macroinvertebrate assemblages. Total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) concentrations of 860 mg/kg dry weight significantly increased the abundance of Polypedilum vespertinus and Cricotopus albitarsis and decreased the abundance of Paratanytarsus grimmii adults (all Chironomidae), whereas TPH concentrations ranging from 1,858 to 14,266 mg/kg produced a significant reduction in the total numbers of taxa and abundance, with significant declines in the abundance of nine chironomid taxa. About 28% of water bodies surveyed in urban Melbourne, Australia, had TPH concentrations in sediments likely to cause ecological impairment, and about 14% of the water bodies surveyed are likely to have reduced species richness and abundance. Therefore, HMWHs can be a significant pollutant in urban water bodies. Freshwater sediment quality guidelines should be developed for this ubiquitous urban pollutant.

Particularly, I look at the work of C.P. Brown, a prominent scholar of Telugu in the nineteenth century, who through his philological intervention -- is Telugu grammar, dictionary & definitive editions of Telugu literary classics -- worked arduously to preserve the language. I argue that because colonial philology saw language as having a progressive history, i.e., the unfolding of language in progressive stages towards constant improvement, it instigated a profound intervention in language practices & thought, foreshadowing the great debates at the turn of the twentieth century on "modernising" languages.

The objective is ambitious but achievable, providing the government plans to achieve it over the long term, investing in high quality support for those who need it most. But, warns Richard Exell, any attempt to rush things, or to put unfair pressure on disabled people & other disadvantaged claimants, would put the whole enterprise in a different light -- & probably doom it to failure. 2 Tables.

It was found that unburnt carbon plays a major role in dye adsorption. The mineral matter of fly ash has little adsorption capacity and most of the adsorption capacity of fly ash can be attributed to the unburnt carbon. The fly ash with higher unburnt carbon content will have higher adsorption capacity. For the carbon-free fly ash, adsorption capacities for Methylene Blue and Crystal Violet are only 2 X 10-6 mol g-1 and 1.0 X 10-6 mol g-1, respectively, while the adsorption capacities for Methylene Blue and Crystal Violet on carbon-enriched fly ash are 1.2 X 10-4 mol g-1 and 1.0 X 10-4 mol g-1, respectively. A two-site Langmuir adsorption model best describes the adsorption isotherm.

Part 1: Stomach, oesophagus and colon AN - 19951428; 6461545 AB - Primary gastrointestinal lymphomas are most common in the stomach, followed by small intestine and then colon. The most frequently used pathology classification of lymphomas is the Revised European and American Lymphoma -World Health Organization classification. The correlation of radiological morphology with histology is relatively poor, although characteristic subtypes will be discussed. In the stomach, the majority of primary lymphomas are of B-cell origin of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) type. Low-grade MALT lymphomas are associated with Helicobacter pylori infection and often respond to eradication of this organism. Radiological features include thickened folds, nodularity, depressed lesions, ulcers, prominent areae gastricae. High-grade (large B-cell) tumour patterns include infiltrative, polypoid, nodular, ulcerated or a combination. Endoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound and CT are important in diagnosis and staging, although appearances on barium studies should be recognized. Primary colonic lymphomas are rare. Most are of B-cell origin. Focal and diffuse forms are seen, the former producing polypoid or nodular or cavitating masses and the latter producing ulcerative or nodular (polyposis) patterns on imaging. Even when circumferential, lymphoma rarely causes obstruction. Small bowel lymphomas will be discussed in the forthcoming part 2 of this review.

Compared with the untreated control, all formulations of the fungus and the chemical insecticide, diazinon, significantly reduce emergence of fruit flies from treated soil. Exposure of pupariating larvae to treated soil samples collected from the field at 183 and 366 days after treatment showed that the three formulations were more effective than diazinon in reducing adult emergence. By 668 days after soil inoculation, the granular formulation was, however, more effective than the aqueous and oil/aqueous formulations of conidia achieving 37, 42, 54% reduction in emergence in C. capitata, C. fasciventris, and C. cosyra, respectively. Enumeration of conidial densities from soil samples on agar plates showed initial density ranging from 1.9 to 3.0 x 10 super(5) colony forming units (cfu)/g of dry weight of soil. The density was relatively stable for a period of 183 days after treatment and thereafter, substantial decreases in density over time were recorded in the aqueous and oil/aqueous formulations. Compared with the other formulations, high levels of conidia (4.9-9.5 x 10 super(4) cfu g super(-1)) could still be recovered from the soil treated with the granular formulation between 448 and 668 days after treatment. A high number of parasitoids enclosed from fungus treated cages in which parasitized larvae were released indicating that the fungus posed no adverse effect on the non-target natural enemies tested. In diazinon treatments, no parasitoid emerged from treated soil samples collected immediately after inoculation. However, at 183 days post-inoculation there was no effect of the insecticide on parasitoid emergence. The use of fungal pathogens could therefore be an important IPM component for the management of fruit fly species in African orchards.

Switzerland has always been exposed to a wide variety of natural hazards mostly located in its alpine valleys. Recent natural disasters comprising avalanches, floods, debris flows and slope instabilities led to substantial loss of life and damage to property, infrastructure, cultural heritage and environment. In order to offer a solid technical infrastructure, a new concept and expert-tool based on an integrated web-based database/GIS structure is being developed under HazNETH. Given the HazNETH database design contemplates the detection and mapping of diagnostic features from remote sensors (e.g., ground, air and space borne) this paper analyses the use of remote sensing data in landslides studies during the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, including a discussion of its potential and research challenges as result of new operational and forthcoming technologies such as the very high spatial resolution optical and infrared imagery of Ikonos, Quickbird, IRS CartoSat-1, ALOS, the satellite based interferometric SAR (InSAR and DInSAR of Radarsat, ERS, Envisat, TerraSAR-X, Cosmo/SkyMed, ALOS), micro-satellites like the Pleiades, DMC, RapidEye, airborne LASER altimetry or ground-based differential interferometric SAR. The use of remote sensing data, whether air-, satellite- or ground-based varies according to three main stages of a landslide related study, namely a) detection and identification; b) monitoring; c) spatial analysis and hazard prediction. Accordingly, this paper presents and discusses previous applications of remote sensing tools as related to these three main phases, proposing a conceptual framework for the contribution of remote sensing to the design of databases for natural hazards like debris flows, and identifying areas for further research.

We implemented a three-scan densitometric method to measure structural parameters in long bones of the lower leg in vivo. The validated method was applied to investigate the relationship between activity level, age, and long bone structural parameters in women. An aluminum phantom was used to estimate in vivo setup accuracy. In vivo precision was determined by same-day repeated measures on human subjects. For the activity study, women were recruited in two age groups (25-35, 60+yr) and two activity levels (recreational runners, nonrunners). Scans were taken of the middle third of the lower right leg; structural parameters for the tibia and fibula were determined at each scan line, averaged over the section, and adjusted by factors accounting for body size variations. Aluminum phantom cross-sectional area was underes-timated by 4-6%, principal moments were underestimated by <5%, and principal angles were within plus or minus 1.2 degree . In vivo precision results (lower energy, scans spanning 60 degree ) indicated coefficients of variation for cross-sectional area (A), principal moments of inertia (Imax, Imin), and polar moment of inertia (J) of 0.52, 5.87, 2.22, and 3.82%, respectively. The activity study showed mean adjusted tibial A, Imax, Imin, and J were significantly higher in runners compared with nonrunners. There was no dependence on age. A three-scan densitometric method for measuring cross-sectional structural parameters in long bones in vivo was validated; accuracy and precision measurements establishes confidence limits. From the activity study results, we postulate that higher loads associated with running lead to increased cross-sectional parameters to support axial loads, bending, and torsion in the tibia.

Concentrations were also measured in breast milk samples collected at approximately 4 d and six and 13 weeks after delivery. The aim was to clarify the transport of MeHg and inorganic Hg during breast-feeding and infant exposure through breast milk. Maternal blood MeHg concentrations were found to increase from delivery to 13 weeks postpartum, and MeHg in maternal blood was associated with that in cord blood and in infant blood at 4 d, although the concentrations in cord and infant blood were more than twice those in maternal blood. Infant blood MeHg concentrations decreased from 4 d to 13 weeks after birth. Inorganic Hg levels in maternal blood did not increase over time, and infant blood inorganic Hg levels were similar to maternal concentrations at birth and were associated significantly with maternal blood inorganic Hg both at birth and at 4 d. The total Hg concentration in breast milk at 13 weeks correlated significantly to maternal blood inorganic Hg but not to infant blood inorganic Hg. Total Hg in breast milk at 13 weeks correlated significantly to infant blood MeHg but not to maternal blood MeHg. Total Hg in milk increased significantly with time during each feeding session at six weeks. The overall results demonstrated that infant exposure to MeHg and inorganic Hg via breast-feeding was low compared with late fetal exposure.

All of the animals appeared to be healthy at the end of the month exposure period, but dark spots were observed in the right ventricle of the smoke-treated rats, and the ratio of whole heart weight to body weight showed significant reduction in the high-dose group. Hearts from the smoke-treated rats stained with Masson trichrome showed extensive fibrosis and myofibril disarray and exhibited increased collagen deposition at minor and moderate levels in the low- and medium-dose groups but at a very strong level in the high-dose group. Both caspase-3 mRNA and the active protein levels of treated groups were higher than those of controls. Compared with control animals, both Fas mRNA and protein levels increased in a dose-dependent manner, and all treated groups showed significantly higher levels of active caspase-8 compared to controls.

Aortic rings from the animals were treated with As or a vehicle in minimum essential media, and the extent of myosin light chain phosphorylation was measured, as were intracellular calcium levels and blood pressure change induced by phenylephrine. Among the As species examined, arsenite was found to be the most potent, enhancing the vascular contraction induced by phenylephrine, serotonin, and high potassium ion in a concentration-dependent manner. Calcium sensitization in smooth muscle was found to contribute largely to arsenite-induced hypercontractility.

The developmental stages encompassed the period of sexual differentiation, from fertilization through the completion of gonadogenesis and the post-spawning period in adult fish. The effluents were collected from two wastewater-treatment works in the UK with different population equivalents and treatment processes, which are described. The exposure system consisted of six tanks supplied with graded concentrations of treated effluents and diluent, with river water and dechlorinated tap water used as controls. The effluents were analyzed for concentrations of steroid estrogens, alkylphenolic chemicals, and bisphenol A. Differences in the concentrations of both steroid estrogens and alkylphenolic chemicals were found in the two effluents, but both induced a vitellogenic response in both juveniles and adults, although the responses mirrored the concentrations of steroid estrogens. Exposure of juvenile roach to high concentrations of the treated effluents from fertilization to 200 and 300 d post-hatch resulted in the feminization of the male reproductive duct. Fish exposed to the effluents during early life and then transferred to clean water at 60 d post-hatch to depurate also had disrupted ducts at the end of the study, indicating that the effect was permanent.

A diary was used to determine the amount smoked, and the primary estradiol metabolites, estrone sulfate and estrone glucuronide, and the progesterone metabolite, pregnanediol-3-glucuronide, were measured daily by enzyme-linked immunoassays. Results revealed that moderate to heavy smokers had elevated baseline levels of the steroid metabolites, and heavy smokers had somewhat dampened progesterone metabolite levels during the luteal phase. Mean urinary follicle-stimulating hormone levels during the time of the lutealfollicular phase transition were higher among moderate to heavy smokers than among nonsmokers.

In this study, the effects of chronic PCB exposure on antiestrogenic/estrogenic and dioxin-like activities exerted by extracts of human male sera were assessed and compared with concentrations of major persistent organic pollutants and levels of 17 beta -estradiol (E sub(2)) in serum. The estrogenic and antiestrogenic potencies of the PCB congeners were determined using the ER-CALUX bioassay. Results showed that PCBs 28, 52, 66, 74, 99, and 105, which were found at significant levels in the male serum samples, induced estrogen receptor-mediated activity at micromolar concentrations. However, the decrease in total estrogenic activity and E sub(2) levels observed in human serum samples of the males exposed to high PCB levels indicated that PCB mixtures elicited an overall antiestrogenic effect.

The cores were sectioned at 1- or 2-cm intervals and radiodated. Results revealed that exposure to Pb was greater than that to Cd or Hg, but over the period 197090, the average exposure of the community members to Pb, Cd, and Hg increased greater than ten-, about eight-, and about 27-fold, respectively. The atmospheric Pb and Cd inputs to the lakes stopped growing in the early 1980s and then appeared to have declined, but the average human exposure appeared to have continued growing, suggesting the presence of other sources not related to long-range atmospheric transport, which could include ingested Pb shot and inhaled cigarette smoke.

Six polymorphisms located on the ALAD gene were selected for analyses. Some positive findings were found with Rsa, Rsa39488, HpyIV, and Sau3A, but the findings were not consistent. However, a newly identified ALAD polymorphism, HpyCH4 in intron 6, was able to modify the association of blood Pb concentrations with certain renal parameters, suggesting that individuals carrying the genotype could be more susceptible to Pb toxicity in the kidneys. For workers with blood Pb concentrations less than 25 mu g/dl, HpyCH4 2-2 workers had higher renal function values than HpyCH4 1-1 workers, while the opposite was found for workers with blood Pb levels greater than 25 mu g/dl.

The data were examined in relation to new landfill sites in Wales, focusing on the distance between the maternal residence at the time of birth and the grid reference of the centroid of a site as determined by the UK Environment Agency. When summarized over all the landfills, the rates of all congenital anomalies increased significantly after sites opened until 1997, which was found for both 2- or 3-km distances as the definition of exposure. No increased risk of congenital anomalies was found for the 19982000 period, however.

The participants completed a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire, and infant cognitive testing was performed using the visual recognition memory paradigm, which is described. The women were found to have consumed an average of 1.2 servings per week of combined tuna, dark meat, white meat, and shellfish in the second trimester of pregnancy. Maternal hair Hg levels ranged 0.022.48 ppm, and total maternal fish intake was associated only moderately with hair Hg content. Consumption of each group of fish was also correlated with hair Hg. Maternal fish intake was associated positively with visual recognition memory score in her six-month-old infant, while Hg was associated negatively with the score. Unadjusted visual recognition memory scores appeared highest among infants of mothers with high fish intake and low Hg levels, while scores were lowest in infants of mothers with low fish intake and high Hg.

Chlorpyrifos was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide to provide consistent absorption and injected subcutaneously at a dose of 1 mg/kg once daily on postnatal days 14. Blood samples were collected for analysis at 110 d of age. No effect of chlorpyrifos exposure on growth or on body weights in adulthood was observed, but cholesterol and triglycerides displayed significant elevations that were distinctly sex-selective with a preferential effect on males. Chlorpyrifos exposure produced a metabolic pattern for plasma lipids and insulin that resembled the known major risk factors and predictors for the appearance of atherosclerosis and type 2 diabetes mellitus in adulthood.

In addition, cocoa beans from other countries and finished chocolate products including processed cocoa were collected and analyzed. The Pb concentrations were derived from instrumental scan of the three major Pb isotopes and that of bismuth-209. Results showed that the Pb concentration in cocoa beans ranged less than or equal to 0.103 to 1.78 ng/g, which was relatively low, but Pb concentrations in manufactured cocoa were among the highest of all foods, with the concentrations approximately 60-fold higher than the average Pb concentration of the Nigerian cocoa beans. Analysis of the Pb isotopic ratios did not allow identification of a single source of contaminant Pb in either processed cocoa or chocolate products, but the data suggested that one of the sources could be cocoa bean shells.

Plasma lipid concentrations of PCBs and chlorinated pesticides were also measured, and dioxin-like compounds were analyzed by the dioxin-receptor chemical-activated luciferase gene expression bioassay. Individuals were selected with both high and low exposure to PCBs. While the subjects, who rely largely on a fish diet, displayed high concentrations of several persistent, lipophilic compounds that are biomagnified in aquatic food chains, no statistically significant relations were found between biomarkers of organochlorine exposure and markers of hepatic enzyme induction. A moderate correlation was found, however, between liver cytochrome P4501A2 activity and urinary coproporphyrin concentrations, and an inverse correlation was noted between liver cytochrome P4501A2 activity and plasma concentrations of the PCB congeners 105 and 118.

Standardized questionnaires were used to collect information on demographic characteristics and sport-caught fish consumption during the preceding 12 months, as well as on fish advisory awareness. Results showed that the most popular types of Great Lakes sport-caught fish were walleye, perch, smelt, rainbow trout, chinook, coho salmon, and lake trout, but fewer than one-quarter of the respondents had eaten any sport-caught fish and only 7% had eaten fish that were caught from one of the Great Lakes. Men were more likely to have eaten sport-caught fish and Great Lakes sport-caught fish than women. Approximately half of the respondents who consumed fish from the Great Lakes were aware of the health advisory that had been issued by their respective state health department, and the awareness had not changed significantly since the 1993 survey. Most of the Great Lakes fish consumers who were aware of the advisories complied with them.

Results showed that liver weights were increased in a dose-dependent manner, and uridine diphosphate-glucuronyltransferase activity was significantly higher in rats administered 100 mg/kg/d phenobarbital compared with controls, while the activity was reduced in rats receiving 100 mg/kg/d sodium iodide, and the activity of 5'-deiodinase I was reduced markedly in propylthiouracil-treated animals. Animals receiving 100 mg/kg/d phenobarbital and 10 mg/kg/d propylthiouracil had significantly reduced levels of thyroxine and triiodothyrone hormones, while levels of thyroid-stimulating hormone were elevated significantly. In addition, thyroid follicular cell hypertrophy was induced compared to controls. Significant changes were observed in gene expression patterns associated with Wnt signaling in the phenobarbital- and propylthiouracil-exposed animals.

The buildings were located within 11 ZIP code areas surrounding Central Park, and apartment perc levels were evaluated qualitatively against background levels and against the New York State Department of Health residential air guideline of 100 mu g/m super(3). Results showed that the mean indoor air perc levels in the residential dry-cleaner buildings had decreased approximately tenfold since adoption of state and city dry-cleaner regulations intended to reduce and contain fugitive perc emissions. However, the six highest perC levels detected, which ranged 6955000 mu g/m super(3), were in six different dry-cleaner buildings located in census block groups characterized as minority or as both minority and low income. Of the 65 apartments sampled, 17 had indoor air perc concentrations greater than 100 mu g/m super(3).

A questionnaire was used to elicit demographic information and data on previous lung disease, smoking history, and work history at the Be facility, and the study subjects completed blood and chest radiograph screenings. Results revealed that the prevalence of CBD and sensitization to Be in the former workers was high, with 7.6, 6.9, 2.1, and 4.0% of the subjects exhibiting CBD, sensitization, possible CBD, and possible sensitization, respectively. Individuals who were sensitized had a lower total cumulative and peak exposure, lower nonsoluble cumulative and average exposure, and lower dust and mixed exposure, while individuals with CBD had a lower soluble and fume exposure.

The aim is to enroll pregnant women as early in pregnancy as possible and to enroll a subset of the cohort before conception. The same federal executive order led to the development of the Children's Centers, which are cosponsored by NIEHS and EPA and conduct both observational studies of etiology and intervention studies. Both the National Children's Study and the Children's Centers program are described, highlighting the lessons that have been learned to date that will be important in planning the National Children's Study in terms of exposure assessment, participation, ethical issues, risk communication, and funding.

The health outcomes of the children were then ascertained semiannually through their first 5 yr to examine whether they developed doctor-diagnosed allergic rhinitis. Of the 405 children, 52 were diagnosed with allergic rhinitis or hay fever before or at 5 yr of age. Increased risk of allergic rhinitis was associated with African-American ethnicity, being born between September and November, maternal sensitization to Alternaria, and having at least one lower respiratory tract illness in the first year of life. Penicillium was the most common fungus detected in the indoor air samples, while Aspergillus was the most commonly recovered sporulating taxon in the dust samples. High levels of dust-borne Aureobasidium, Aspergillus, Alternaria, yeasts, and nonsporulating fungi and high levels of total fungi were associated independently with the development of doctor-diagnosed allergic rhinitis by 5 yr of age.

Samples of dust were collected in 390 homes from moldings and shelves in the children's bedrooms and analyzed for diethyl phthalate, diisobutyl phthalate, di-n-butyl phthalate, n-butyl benzyl phthalate (BBzP), di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), and diisononyl phthalate. The focus, however, was on DEHP and BBzP. The building characteristics included: building type, building construction, building materials, type of ventilation, and mold and moisture problems. High concentrations of BBzP and DEHP in dust were associated with PVC flooring, but the association was stronger for BBzP than for DEHP. In addition, BBzP was associated with self-reported water leakage, and DEHP was associated with building construction prior to 1960.

For 1476 motherinfant pairs, maternal and cord blood samples were obtained at delivery, and fine and coarse particle concentrations, as well as PAH concentrations, were assessed from samples collected by a versatile air-pollution sampler that has been described previously. Lymphocytes in lysed whole blood were immunophenotyped using a FACSort flow cytometer. Results showed that ambient concentrations of PAHs and PM sub(2.5) during the last two weeks of gestation were associated with decreases in the percentages of T-lymphocytes in cord blood, and the associations were stronger for the percentage of CD4 super(+) cells than for the percentage of CD8 super(+) subsets. The latter association was more marked for PAHs compared with PM sub(2.5). In concert with the T-cell decreases, the percentage of B-cells increased. Temperature was also a strong predictor of all lymphocyte phenotype subsets except for B-cells.

The breast milk samples were collected during the third and tenth postpartum days. The concentrations of interleukin-1 alpha were reduced significantly in the colostrum of smoker compared with nonsmoker control mothers, but beta -endorphin and leptin colostrum concentrations were not affected. However, beta -endorphin concentrations were reduced significantly in transitional milk samples compared with colostrum of both smoker and nonsmoker mothers, which was also observed for leptin concentrations.

Several proposals offered to shore-up the finances of the Social Security program would create individual retirement accounts funded with part of the payroll tax. The authors of many of these proposals claim that future beneficiaries will be better-off under their new system than under the current system. This study examines the consequences of differing earnings patterns and year-to-year differences in asset returns have for Social Security retired worker benefits in three Social Security reform proposals. Incorporating both actual earnings histories and variation in asset returns shows that none of the three individual account plans can always deliver benefits that are higher than payable current law benefits.

By introducing expression vectors into ES cells and subsequently inducing differentiation to DC (ES-DC), we can generate transfectant DC expressing the transgenes. In the future clinical application of this technology, the unavailability of human ES cells genetically identical to the patients will be a problem. However, in most cases, semi-allogeneic ES cells sharing some of HLA alleles with recipients are expected to be available. In the present study, we observed that model tumor antigen (OVA)-expressing mouse ES-DC transferred into semi-allogeneic mice potently primed OVA-reactive CTL and elicited a significant protection against challenge with OVA-expressing tumor. Genetic modification of ES-DC to overexpress SPI-6, the specific inhibitor of granzyme B, further enhanced their capacity to prime antigen-specific CTL in semi-allogeneic recipient mice. These results suggest the potential of ES-DC as a novel means for anti-cancer immunotherapy.

The often tense and hostile nature of the U.S.-Cuban relationship is illustrated by such events and actions as: U.S. covert operations to overthrow the Castro government, culminating in the ill-fated April 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion; the October 1962 missile crisis, in which the United States confronted the Soviet Union over its attempt to place offensive nuclear missiles in Cuba; Cuban support for guerrilla insurgencies and military support for revolutionary governments in Africa and the Western Hemisphere; the 1980 exodus of around 125,000 Cubans to the United States in the so-called Mariel boatlift; the 1994 exodus of more than 30,000 Cubans who were interdicted and housed at U.S. facilities in Guantanamo and Panama; and the February 1996 shoot-down by Cuban fighter jets of two U.S. civilian planes operated by the Cuban American group Brothers to the Rescue, which resulted in the death of four U.S. crew members.

It was only with Vietnam that courts began to avoid the merits of war power cases by invoking a variety of threshold tests. Following 9/11, the broad & expansive justifications of unilateral presidential powers by the Bush administration forced federal courts to revisit & reassert their constitutional responsibilities. 32 References.

They have imbued the presidency with magical qualities of expertise & good intentions, motivated by the "national interest" rather than the local & parochial ambitions that supposedly drive members of Congress. In this decision to concentrate power in the president, scholars gave short shrift to legal boundaries & constitutional principles, including checks & balances & separation of powers. Supported by the academic community, presidents now regularly claim that the Constitution allows them to wage war against other countries without receiving either a declaration or authorization from Congress. 62 References.

Recently simulation testing and empirical (field-data based) applications have shown that there is a short list of indicators that could be used as the seed for ecosystem-based management. The list includes such things as relative biomass (or biomass ratios) of key groups, proportional habitat cover, simple diversity indices, size and trophic spectra, maximum (or mean) length of the catch (across species), size at maturity of key species types and physical system characteristics that define the system context. While this list is a mix of single value and two-dimensional indicators all are simple indices that require little processing post-collection and all consistently provide strong signals regarding system state and dynamics. Moreover, they are relatively easy to calculate, interpret, and generalise (across systems and through time); and are robust to noise, data gaps and assumptions. These features mean that it is feasible to imagine a system of robust ecosystem-based fisheries management that included indicators as a key advisory component. Key aspects of such a management scheme will also be discussed here.

Populations in perturbed communities can change dynamically, in both abundance and age structure. While analysis of the community matrix can predict changes in population abundance arising from a sustained or press perturbation, perturbations also have the potential to modify life expectancy, which adds yet another means to falsify experimental hypotheses and to monitor management interventions in natural systems. In some instances, an input to a community will produce no change in the abundance of a population but create a major shift in its mean age. We present an analysis of change in both abundance and life expectancy, leading to a formal quantitative assessment as well as qualitative predictions, and illustrate the usefulness of the technique through general examples relating to vector-borne disease and fisheries.

Two models of developmental pesticide exposures in mice are provided that yield Parkinson disease phenotypes consistent with the idea that the disease results from the loss of dopamine neurons of the nigrostriatal pathway. The models consider exposure to paraquat and maneb. For some measures, effects of the combined exposure are shown where neither pesticide administered alone has any impact. The observed effects are highly selective for the nigrostriatal dopamine system and are irreversible. The models also show greater vulnerability of males than females to the combined exposure, which is consistent with observations from epidemiologic studies of Parkinson disease.

These pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic differences between younger and older adults that may lead to altered sensitivity to chemical exposure are reviewed, using pharmacokinetic data for therapeutic drugs in elderly individuals to estimate geriatric/younger adult differences in key pathways than can affect the handling of a wide array of xenobiotics. Described are the basic features of aging that can affect responses to xenobiotics, including a decline in defenses against oxidant stress and impaired clearance functions in both the liver and kidney. Physiologic changes, including decreases in the percentage of muscle mass and body water and an increase in body lipid, can cause a larger volume of distribution and longer half-life of lipophilic chemicals due to their increased sequestration in fat. Increasing age can result in an increase in hepatic lipid peroxidation and/or a decreased capacity to remove lipofuscin in the liver at advanced age. Described also are liver and kidney disease in elderly individuals, specific drugs that can affect pharmacokinetic function by producing toxic side effects in the liver of kidney to which elderly individuals may be more susceptible, and pharmacodynamic aspects of sensitivity to neurotoxic agents in the elderly.

The pathologies of both Parkinson disease and Alzheimer disease are described, as are the economic costs of the diseases. The Barker hypothesis, a concept that holds that parameters of fetal, infant, and childhood growth may be predictors of disease in later life, is outlined. Evidence is then presented of the environmental origins of Parkinson disease, including exposure to 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, paraquat, maneb, rotenone, manganese, and other chemicals, and of the environmental origins of dementia involving exposure to lead.
