AB Objective This study explores ambivalence toward undergoing amniocentesis among pregnant women with overall positive attitudes. Its novelly lies in the characterization of the type and origins of the ambivalence.
Method Thirty-six women between 35 and 44 years of age were recruited from a US prenatal testing center to participate in structured telephone interviews.
Results Thirty women chose to undergo testing. Attitudes toward undergoing amniocentesis were generally positive, although all participants simultaneously described feeling ambivalent. The women desired the information that amniocentesis Could provide yet did not want to place their fetus at risk. Participants cited religious, moral, ethical and intellectual Values important in shaping their attitudes toward undergoing amniocentesis. Important referents Such as partners, other pregnant women, family members and physicians influenced their decisions.
Conclusion Tensions were evident among the intellectual, moral and spiritual values that contribute to ambivalence toward undergoing amniocentesis. Illuminating and discussing such tensions during the genetic counseling sessions prior to testing may resolve some of this ambivalence and thereby increase the quality of decisions women make.

TI The Role of Public Health in Addressing Racial and Ethnic Disparities in
Mental Health and Mental Illness
SO PREVENTING CHRONIC DISEASE
LA English
DT Article
AB Racial/ethnic minority populations are underserved in the American mental health care system. Disparity in treatment between whites and African Americans has increased substantially since the 1990s. Racial/ethnic minorities may be disproportionately affected by limited English proficiency, remote geographic settings, stigma, fragmented services, cost, comorbidity of mental illness and chronic diseases, cultural understanding of health care services, and incarceration. We present a model that illustrates how social determinants of health, interventions, and outcomes interact to affect mental health and mental illness. Public health approaches to these concerns include preventive strategies and federal agency collaborations that optimize the resilience of racial/ethnic minorities. We recommend strategies such as enhanced surveillance, research, evidence-based practice, and public policies that set standards for tracking and reducing disparities.

TI Lay Representations of Cancer Prevention and Early Detection:
Associations With Prevention Behaviors
SO PREVENTING CHRONIC DISEASE
LA English
DT Article
AB Introduction
The Common Sense Model of illness representations posits that how people think about an illness affects how they try to prevent the illness. The purpose of this study was to determine whether prevention representations vary by cancer type (colon, lung, and skin cancer) and whether representations are associated with relevant behaviors.
Methods
We analyzed data from the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS 2005), a nationally representative survey of American adults (N = 5,586) conducted by telephone interview.
Results
Respondents reported that all 3 types of cancer can be prevented through healthy behaviors; however, fewer did so for colon cancer. More respondents reported screening as a prevention strategy for colon cancer than did so for lung or skin cancer. Representations were associated with colon cancer screening, smoking status, and sunscreen use.
Conclusion
Representations of cancer were associated with relevant health behaviors, providing a target for health messages and interventions.

AB Background. This systematic review identifies factors that are most consistently mentioned as either barriers to or facilitators of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in older persons.
Methods. A systematic literature search (1995-2008) was conducted to identify studies that reported barriers to or facilitators of CRC screening uptake, compliance or adherence specifically for older persons (>= 65 years). Information on study characteristics and barriers and facilitators related to subjects; healthcare providers; policies; and screening tests were then abstracted and analyzed.
Results. Eighty-three studies met the eligibility criteria. Low level of education, African American race, Hispanic ethnicity, and female gender were the most frequently reported barriers, whereas being married or living with a partner was the most frequently reported facilitator. The most cited barrier related to healthcare providers was lack of screening recommendation by a physician; having a usual source of care was a commonly reported facilitator. Lack of health insurance, and dual coverage with Medicare and Medicaid were the most frequently reported barriers, whereas Medicare's coverage of screening colonoscopy was consistently reported as a facilitator.
Conclusions. Barriers to, and facilitators of, CRC screening among older persons are reported. Particular attention should be paid to modifiable factors that could become the focus of interventions aimed at increasing CRC screening participation in older persons. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc.

The processes included: data collection, transcription, coding, cleaning-up; eradicating duplicates and unusual extra-large value; logistic check-up; assignment time of period, rating the intensity in various trade and occupation; collapse and condensation of the numbers into groups; multiple-regression with dummy variable and/or weighting in number of samples; predicting and listing the matrix, etc. JEM of thirty occupational hazards was established. Meaning, usefulness, methodology, limitation and perspective of JEM were concisely discussed. Longitudinal trend of the hazard concentration at work place under monitoring showed asharp decline, that indicates remarkable success of the occupation health in this half century.

AB Static overbooking models are studied. Suppose that each reservation shows up independently, and that the probability of showing up is identical among all reservations. Then, the random show demand follows the binomial distribution. However, in practice some overbooking modules assume that the show demand is the product of the overbooking level and the random show-up rate. The decision model embedded in a commercial revenue management system is misspecified. In this article, we explore the consequences of the modeling error. Through numerical experiments, we find that the performance of the model with misspecification decreases as the show-up probability decreases. Among our three choices of show-up rate distributions, the beta model performs best.

ID OVERBOOKING; CAPACITY; BOOKING; SPACE
AB Air-cargo capacity is random and affected by the number of passengers carried, because both cargo shipments and passenger bags are carried in a belly of a plane. The fewer the passengers carried, the higher the cargo capacity. Current seats sold usually provide some information on the passengers carried, and consequently the cargo capacity. Records of the passengers carried and the seats sold are readily available in a passenger revenue management system. We propose mathematical models to evaluate monetary benefits, if different levels of information in the passenger revenue management system are shared by the cargo revenue management system. At a minimum level, an airline constructs a prior distribution of random cargo capacity from a historical record of passengers carried. At a higher level, the airline updates the distribution of cargo capacity based on the number of seats sold. A numerical example that illustrates the proposed methodology is also provided.

AB We introduce a new method to find semantic inconsistencies (i.e., concepts with erroneous synonymity) in the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS). The idea is to identify the inconsistencies by comparing the semantic groups of hierarchically-related concepts using Answer Set Programming. With this method, we identified several inconsistent concepts in UMLS and discovered an interesting semantic pattern along hierarchies, which seems associated with wrong synonymy.

AB Based on the hexahydropyrroloindole backbone of the natural product and alkaloid, (-)-physostigmine (eserine) - a short-acting non-selective reversible cholinesterase inhibitor, three series of compounds were designed and developed to overcome its pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic shortfalls to provide experimental therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and pharmacological tools to define brain function in health, aging and disease. Posiphen and analogues are amyloid-beta precursor protein (APP) and amyloid-beta peptide (A beta) lowering agents that are cholinergically inert but generate metabolites with anticholinesterase action. (-)-Bisnorcymserine and analogues are potent, centrally active, reversible, selective butyrylcholinesterase inhibitors, whereas (-)-phenserine and analogues are similar but selective acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, and each additionally lowers APP and A beta generation as a secondary action. Defining the clinical value of these agents in AD and related dementias is a key focus of current research.

AB Objectives: Administration to rats of mood stabilizers approved for bipolar disorder (BD) down-regulates markers of the brain arachidonic acid (AA 20:4n-6) metabolic cascade, including phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) and cyclooxygenase (COX) expression. We hypothesized that other agents that target the brain AA cascade, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and glucocorticoids, also would ameliorate BD symptoms.
Methods: Medication histories on subjects who had been prescribed lithium were collected from the Netherlands PHARMO Record Linkage System. Data were stratified according to drug classes that inhibit PLA(2) and/or COX enzymes, and duration of use. Incidence density (ID) of medication events (dose increase or substance change) was used as a proxy for clinical worsening. ID ratios in patients with the inhibitors plus lithium were compared to ratios in patients using lithium alone.
Results: Low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) significantly reduced the ID ratio of medication events, independent of use duration. The ID ratios of NSAIDs and glucocorticoids did not differ significantly from 1.0 if prescribed for >= 180 or >= 90 days, but exceeded 1.0 with shorter use. Selective COX-2 inhibitors had no significant effect and multiagent administration increased the ID ratio above 1.0.
Conclusions: Low-dose aspirin produced a statistically significant duration-independent reduction in the relative risk of clinical deterioration in subjects on lithium, whereas other NSAIDs and glucocorticoids did not. These tentative findings could be tested on larger databases containing detailed information about diagnosis and disease course, as well as by controlled clinical trials. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

AB In order to analyze the structure-function of multi-subunit RNA polymerases (RNAPs), it is necessary to make site-directed mutations in key residues. Because Saccharomyces cerevisiae RNAP 11 is isolated as a 12 subunit enzyme that has not been amenable to in vitro reconstitution, making site-directed mutations in a particular subunit presents technical issues. In this work, we demonstrate a method to generate and purify site-directed mutants in the second largest (Rpb2) RNAP 11 subunit from yeast, using a tandem affinity purification tag. Mutants are analyzed for growth defects in vivo and for defects in transcriptional elongation in vitro. We show that Rpb2 R512A/C located just C-terminal to fork loop 2 (Rpb2 500-511) has transcriptional defects that are distinct from surrounding fork loop 2 region mutants. Rpb2 E529A/D replacements are faster and E529Q is slower than wild type RNAP 11 in elongation. E529 appears to form an ion pair with K987, an essential active site residue. Mutations are also analyzed within the active site region indicating key residues for catalysis and the importance of a Rpb2 R983-E1028 ion pair. Rpb2 R983Q and E1028Q are defective in escape from a transcriptional stall. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB Protein kinase C (PKC) represents the most prominent of the families of signaling proteins integrating response to the ubiquitous lipophilic second messenger sn-1,2-diacylglycerol and to its ultrapotent analogs, the tumor-promoting phorbol esters. Response is mediated through twin conserved zinc finger structures, the Cl domains. The Cl domains function as hydrophobic switches, for which ligand binding completes a hydrophobic surface on the face of the Cl domain, driving membrane association of PKC and enzymatic activation. Since the lipid bilayer provides critical contacts for ligand binding, along with the C I domain, membrane heterogeneity provides an important mechanism for diversity, as do the differential functions of the twin Cl domains. Consistent with such mechanistic diversity, PKC ligands can differ dramatically in biological consequences. Thus, whereas PKC ligands have provided the paradigm for tumor promoters, some PKC ligands in fact function as inhibitors of tumor promotion. Reflecting the central role of PKC in cellular signaling, PKC has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for cancer with several PKC ligands currently in clinical trials.

AB In eukaryotic cells, roughly one-fourth of all mRNAs code for secretory and membrane proteins. This class of proteins must first be segregated to the endoplasmic reticulum, where they are either translocated into the lumen or inserted into the lipid bilayer. The study of these processes has long relied on their successful reconstitution in cell-free systems. The high manipulability of such in vitro systems has allowed the identification of key machinery, elucidation of their functional roles in translocation, and dissection of their mechanisms of action. Here, we provide the basic methodology for (i) setting up robust mammalian-based in vitro translation and translocation systems, (ii) assays for protein translocation, insertion, and topology, and (iii) methods to solubilize, fractionate, and reconstitute ER membranes. Variations of these methods should be applicable not only to forward protein translocation systems but also for dissecting other poorly understood membrane-associated processes such as retrotranslocation.

AB Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) are signature illnesses of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, but current diagnostic and therapeutic measures for these conditions are suboptimal. In our study, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is used to try to differentiate military service members with: PTSD and mTBI, PTSD alone, mTBI alone, and neither PTSD nor mTBI. Those with PTSD are then randomized to virtual reality exposure therapy or imaginal exposure. fMRI is repeated after treatment and along with the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS) and Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scores to compare with baseline. Twenty subjects have completed baseline fMRI scans, including four controls and one mTBI only; of 15 treated for PTSD, eight completed posttreatment scans. Most subjects have been male (93%) and Caucasian (83%), with a mean age of 34. Significant improvements are evident on fMRI scans, and corroborated by CGI scores, but CAPS scores improvements are modest. In conclusion, CGI scores and fMRI scans indicate significant improvement in PTSD in both treatment arms, though CAPS score improvements are less robust.

AB There is an extensive literature showing that the CB(1) cannabinoid receptor antagonist rimonabant (SR141716) decreases alcohol consumption in animals, but little is known about its effects in human alcohol drinkers.
In this study, 49 nontreatment-seeking heavy alcohol drinkers participated in a 3-week study. After a 1-week baseline, participants received either 20 mg/day of rimonabant or placebo for 2 weeks under double-blind conditions. During these 3 weeks, participants reported their daily alcohol consumption by telephone. Subsequently, they participated in an alcohol self-administration paradigm in which they received a priming dose of alcohol followed by the option of consuming either eight alcohol drinks or receiving $3.00 for each nonconsumed drink. Endocrine measures and self-rating scales were also obtained.
Rimonabant did not change alcohol consumption during the 2 weeks of daily call-ins. Similarly, the drug did not change either alcohol self-administration or endocrine measures during the laboratory session.
We conclude that the daily administration of 20 mg of rimonabant for 2 weeks has no effect on alcohol consumption in nontreatment-seeking heavy alcohol drinkers.

AB Muscarinic M-5 receptors are the only muscarinic receptor subtype expressed by dopamine-containing neurons of the ventral tegmental area. These cells play an important role for the reinforcing properties of psychostimulants and M-5 receptors modulate their activity. Previous studies showed that M-5 receptor knockout (M (5) (-/-) ) mice are less sensitive to the reinforcing properties of addictive drugs.
Here, we investigate the role of M-5 receptors in the effects of amphetamine and cocaine on locomotor activity, locomotor sensitization, and dopamine release using M (5) (-/-) mice backcrossed to the C57BL/6NTac strain.
Sensitization of the locomotor response is considered a model for chronic adaptations to repeated substance exposure, which might be related to drug craving and relapse. The effects of amphetamine on locomotor activity and locomotor sensitization were enhanced in M (5) (-/-) mice, while the effects of cocaine were similar in M (5) (-/-) and wild-type mice.
Consistent with the behavioral results, amphetamine-, but not cocaine, -elicited dopamine release in nucleus accumbens was enhanced in M (5) (-/-) mice.
The different effects of amphetamine and cocaine in M (5) (-/-) mice may be due to the divergent pharmacological profile of the two drugs, where amphetamine, but not cocaine, is able to release intracellular stores of dopamine. In conclusion, we show here for the first time that amphetamine-induced hyperactivity and dopamine release as well as amphetamine sensitization are enhanced in mice lacking the M-5 receptor. These results support the concept that the M-5 receptor modulates effects of addictive drugs.

AB Dopaminergic medication-related impulse control disorders (ICDs) such as pathological gambling and compulsive shopping have been reported in Parkinson's disease (PD).
We hypothesized that dopamine agonists (DAs) would be associated with greater impulsive choice or greater discounting of delayed rewards in PD patients with ICDs (PDI).
Fourteen PDI patients, 14 PD controls without ICDs, and 16 medication-free matched normal controls were tested on the Experiential Discounting Task (EDT), a feedback-based intertemporal choice task, spatial working memory, and attentional set shifting. The EDT was used to assess choice impulsivity (hyperbolic K value), reaction time (RT), and decision conflict RT (the RT difference between high conflict and low conflict choices). PDI patients and PD controls were tested on and off DA.
On the EDT, there was a group by medication interaction effect [F(1,26) = 5.62; p = 0.03] with pairwise analyses demonstrating that DA status was associated with increased impulsive choice in PDI patients (p = 0.02) but not in PD controls (p = 0.37). PDI patients also had faster RT compared to PD controls [F(1,26) = 7.51, p = 0.01]. DA status was associated with shorter RT [F(3,24) = 8.39, p = 0.001] and decision conflict RT [F(1,26) = 6.16, p = 0.02] in PDI patients but not in PD controls. There were no correlations between different measures of impulsivity. PDI patients on DA had greater spatial working memory impairments compared to PD controls on DA (t = 2.13, df = 26, p = 0.04).
Greater impulsive choice, faster RT, faster decision conflict RT, and executive dysfunction may contribute to ICDs in PD.

AB Background: Common obesity-associated genetic variants may exert their effects through increasing eating or decreasing metabolism. Such differences might influence individual responses to obesity genetic test results. Methods: This was an experimental analogue study: 191 participants were asked to imagine they had received a genetic test result indicating high eating-based (n = 37) or high metabolism-based (n = 41) risk of obesity, an enzyme test result indicating high eating-based (n = 35) or high metabolism-based (n = 41) risk of obesity, or no risk information (n = 37). Outcomes included perceived risk, self-efficacy (confidence in ability to eat healthily), response-efficacy (confidence that eating healthily will reduce risk), and intention to eat healthily. Results: The groups receiving increased obesity risk information reported greater perceived risk and intention to eat healthily than the no risk information group (both p < 0.01). There were main effects of test type on perceived risk (genetic vs. enzyme: 3.91 vs. 3.55, p = 0.031) and of causal pathway on worry (eating vs. metabolism: 3.33 vs. 2.86, p = 0.049), but no effects of either manipulation on any other outcomes. Conclusion: Personal risk information indicating increased obesity risk may increase motivation to eat healthily, regardless of whether the risk is described as genetic or non-genetic or as acting through an eating-based or metabolism-based causal pathway.

TI Genetic Variants Associated with Complex Human Diseases Show Wide
Variation across Multiple Populations
SO PUBLIC HEALTH GENOMICS
LA English
DT Article
DE Complex disease; Genome wide association studies; Population genetics
ID EPIDEMIOLOGY
AB Background: The wide use of genome wide association studies (GWAS) has led to the successful identification of multiple genetic susceptibility variants to several complex human diseases. Given the limited amount of data on genetic variation at these loci in populations of non-European origin, we investigated population variation among 11 population groups for loci showing strong and consistent association from GWAS with several complex human diseases. Methods: Data from the International HapMap Project Phase 3, comprising 11 population groups, were used to estimate allele frequencies at loci showing strong and consistent association from GWAS with any of 26 complex human diseases and traits. Allele frequency summary statistics and F(ST) at each locus were used to estimate population differentiation. Results: There is wide variation in allele frequencies and F(ST) across the 11 population groups for susceptibility loci to these complex human diseases and traits. Allele frequencies varied widely across populations, often by as much as 20- to 40-fold. F(ST), as a measure of population differentiation, also varied widely across the loci studied (for example, 0.019 to 0.201 for type 2 diabetes, 0.022 to 0.520 for prostate cancer loci, and 0.006 to 0.520 for serum lipid levels). Conclusions: The public health risk posed by any of these risk alleles is likely to show wide variation across populations simply as a function of its frequency, and this risk difference may be amplified by gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. These analyses offer compelling reasons for including multiple human populations from different parts of the world in the international effort to use genomic tools to understand disease etiology and differential distribution of diseases across ethnic groups.

AB Background: Much of the research examining psychosocial aspects of genetic testing has used hypothetical scenarios, based on the largely untested assumption that hypothetical genetic testing intentions are good proxies for behavior. We tested whether hypothetical interest predicts uptake of genetic testing and whether factors that predict interest also predict uptake. Methods: Participants (n = 116) were smokers and related to patients with lung cancer, who completed a telephone survey. Interest in genetic testing for lung cancer risk was indicated by responding 'definitely would' to a Likert-style question. Internet-delivered genetic testing for lung cancer risk was then offered. Uptake was indicated by requesting the test and receiving the result. Results: 63% of participants said they ` definitely would' take the genetic test; uptake was 38%. Participants who said they ` definitely would' take the test were more likely than others to take the offered test (45% vs. 26%, p = 0.035). Interest was associated with attitudes towards genetic testing and motivation to quit smoking. Uptake was associated with motivation, prior awareness of genetic testing, and daily Internet use. Conclusion: Hypothetical interest only modestly predicts uptake of genetic testing. Interest in genetic testing likely reflects generally positive attitudes that are not good predictors of the choices individuals subsequently make. Copyright (C) 2009 S. Karger AG, Basel

AB Background: Translational research is needed to explore how people will respond to personal genetic susceptibility information related to common health conditions. Maximizing the rigor of this research will require that genetic test results be returned to study participants. Currently, there is no established method that guides the selection of genetic variants to be used in research with these objectives. Methods and Results: To address this question, we designed a process to identify gene variants and health conditions to be included in a prototype genetic test for use in a larger research effort, the Multiplex Initiative. The intention of this exploration was to facilitate research that generates individual genetic test results that are returned to study participants. Inclusion criteria were developed as part of a transdisciplinary and iterative process that considered the weight of evidential support for genetic association with common health conditions, the appropriateness of use in human subjects research, and the recommendations of expert peer reviewers. Conclusions: The selection process was designed to identify gene variants for the limited purpose of translational research and, therefore, should not be seen as producing a valid clinical test. However, this example of an applied selection process may provide guidance for researchers who are designing studies to evaluate the implications of genetic susceptibility testing through the return of personalized genetic information. As the rate of genomic discoveries increases, such research will be essential in steering the translation of this information towards the greatest public health benefit. Copyright (C) 2009 S.

AB Background: There has been growing emphasis on preconception care as a strategy to improve maternal and child health since the 1980s. Increasingly, development of genetic tests will require primary care providers to make decisions about preconception genetic screening. Limited research has been conducted on how primary care providers interpret patients' characteristics and use constructs, such as ethnicity and race, to decide whom to offer preconception genetic screening. Objective: This report assessed the influence of patient characteristics on decisions to offer preconception genetic screening. Methods: A web-based survey of family physicians was conducted. Physicians reviewed a clinical vignette that was accompanied by a picture of either a black or a white patient. Physicians indicated whether they would offer genetic screening, and if yes, what tests they would offer and what factors influenced their decisions. Results: The majority (69.2%) of physicians reported that they would not offer genetic screening. Respondents who reviewed the vignette accompanied by a picture of the black patient were more likely to offer screening (35% vs. 26%, p = 0.0034) and rated race as more important to their decision to offer testing than those who viewed the picture of the white patient (76% vs. 49%, p < 0.0001). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that patient race is important to physicians when making decisions about preconception genetic testing and that decision making is influenced by patients' physical characteristics. The reticence of physicians in this sample to offer preconception screening is an important finding for public health and clinical practice. Copyright (C) 2009 S. Karger AG, Basel

DE Capacity-building; Human genetics; Sub-Saharan Africa
ID MEDICAL-STUDENTS; GENOME-PROJECT; CAMEROON; SOCIETY
AB Background: Stakeholders who are committed to bridge the gap in genetics services need to be aware of current initiatives in sub-Saharan Africa. Methods: We reviewed selected experiences from African geneticists that led to specific recommendations. Results: The initiation of prenatal diagnosis of sickle cell anaemia founded the first medical genetic service in Cameroon. There remains a need for international collaborative effort to overcome the lack of human, technical and financial resources around the practice of medical genetics in Africa. The African Society of Human Genetics, Wellcome Trust and NIH have recently proposed a model on how to fully engage Africa in genomics. It includes a 'Health and disease' phase I: use of the case-control design to study genetic and epidemiological determinants of 7 important diseases in Africa, and a 'Genetic variation' phase II: comprehensive documentation of genetic variations in 100 carefully selected ethnic groups across Africa. The strategy would require the development of: (1) clinical phenotyping centres, (2) molecular phenotyping centres, (3) genotyping and sequencing capability, (4) data centres, and (5) a bio-repository in Africa. Conclusions: Governments and international health agencies need to recognise that genetics is important to the global medical community. The initiatives of African geneticists need advocacy and encouragement from the international community. Copyright (C) 2010 S. Karger AG, Basel

AB Background: A positive family history is a known risk factor for several cancers; thus, obtaining a thorough family cancer history is essential in cancer risk evaluation and prevention management. Methods: The Family Health Study, a telephone survey in Connecticut, was conducted in 2001. A total of 1,019 participants with demographic information and family cancer history were included in this study. Prevalence of a positive family history of breast, colorectal, prostate, and lung cancer for first-and second-degree relatives was estimated. Logistic regression was used to compare prevalence by demographic factors. Results: A positive family history among first-degree relatives was reported by 10.9% (95% Confidence Interval, CI = 8.8-13.3) of respondents for breast cancer, 5.1% (95% CI = 3.9-6.7) for colorectal cancer, 7.0% (95% CI = 5.2-9.4) for prostate cancer, and 6.4% (95% CI = 4.9-8.3) for lung cancer. The reported prevalence of family history of specific cancers varied by sex, age and race/ethnicity of the respondents. Conclusion: Family history prevalence for 4 of the most common adult solid tumors is substantial and the reported prevalence varied by respondent characteristics. Additional studies are needed to evaluate tools to promote accurate reporting of family history of cancer. Copyright (C) 2010 S. Karger AG, Basel

AB Objective: The purpose of the present analysis was to examine secular trends in school performance indicators in relationship to the implementation of a programme targeting the school food and physical activity environment.
Design: Data on available school performance indicators were obtained; retrospective analyses were conducted to assess trends in indicators in association with programme implementation; each outcome was regressed v. year, beginning with the year prior to programme implementation.
Setting: The Healthy Kids, Smart Kids programme, a grass-roots effort to enhance the school food and physical activity environment in the Browns Mill Elementary School in Georgia.
Subjects: Data included publicly available school records from the years 1995 to 2006.
Results: The number of nurse, counselling and disciplinary referrals per 100 students demonstrated a downward trend, while standardized test scores demonstrated an upward trend beginning in the year of programme implementation. School year was a significant predictor of all indicators.
Conclusions: Promoting nutrition and physical activity within the school environment may be a promising approach for enhancing both student health and educational outcomes.

TI Lesions of the prelimbic prefrontal cortex prevent response conflict
produced by action-outcome associations
SO QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY

DE Instrumental conditioning; Prelimbic cortex; Biconditional
discrimination; Response conflict; Working memory
ID CONTEXTUAL CONTROL; RATS; DISRUPT
AB Rats with prelimbic (PL) cortex lesions were tested on a discrete-trial discrimination where food rewards were used as both discriminative cues and reinforcing outcomes. On incongruent trials, the discriminative cue food differed from the outcome food; on congruent trials they were the same. When cue and outcome foods differ, a conflict is created between the response directly promoted by the food as a cue (mediated by stimulus-response, S-R, associations) and the response indirectly promoted by the food as an outcome (mediated via action-outcome associations). No conflict is produced when cue and outcome foods are the same. Sham-lesioned rats acquired the discrimination more slowly for incongruent trials than for congruent trials, and incongruent trials were more susceptible to disruption by delay. In contrast there was no difference between congruent and incongruent trial types in PL-lesioned animals during acquisition or delay testing. Delays between cue and response had greater overall effects on lesioned than on sham-lesioned animals. These results are consistent with the behaviour of PL-lesioned animals being controlled by S-R associations with no response conflict due to interference from action-outcome associations.

AB Auger electron emitters like (125)I are the radionuclides of choice for gene-targeted radiotherapy. The highly localized damage they induce in DNA is produced by three mechanisms: direct damage by the emitted Auger electrons, indirect damage by diffusible free radicals produced by Auger electrons traveling in water, and charge neutralization of the residual, highly positively charged tellurium daughter atom by stripping electrons from covalent bonds of neighboring residues. The purpose of our work was to determine whether these mechanisms proceed through an intermediate energy transfer step along DNA. It was proposed that this intermediate step proceeds through the charge transport mechanism in DNA. Conventional charge transport has been described as either a hopping mechanism initiated by charge injection into DNA and propagated by charge migration along the DNA or a tunneling mechanism in which charge moves directly from a donor to an acceptor within DNA. Well-known barriers for the hopping mechanism were used to probe the role of charge transport in (125)I-induced DNA damage. We studied their effect. on the distribution of DNA breaks produced by the decay of (125)I in samples frozen at -80 degrees C. We found that these barriers had no measurable effect on the distribution of (125)I-induced breaks. (C) 2010 by Radiation Research Society

AB Background and purpose: KRAS and BRAF are Mutated in 35% and 10% of colorectal cancers, respectively. However, data specifically for locally advanced rectal cancers are scarce, and the frequency of KRAS mutations in codons 61 and 146 remains to be established.
Materials and methods: DNA was isolated from pre-therapeutic biopsies of 94 patients who were treated within two phase-III clinical trials receiving preoperative chemoradiotherapy. Mutation status of KRAS exons 1-3 and BRAF exon 15 was established using the ABI PRISM Big Dye Sequencing Kit and subsequently correlated with clinical parameters.
Results: Overall, KRAS was Mutated in 45 patients (48%). Twenty-nine mutations (64%) were located in codon 12, 10 mutations (22%) in codon 13, and 3 mutations (7%) in codons 61 and 146. No V600E BRAF mutation was detected. The presence of KRAS mutations was Correlated neither with tumor response or lymph node Status after preoperative chemoradiotherapy nor with overall Survival or disease-free survival. When KRAS exon I mutations were separated based on the amino-acid exchange, we again failed to detect significant correlations (p = 0.052), However, G12V Mutations appeared to be associated with higher rates Of tumor regression than G13D mutations (p = 0.012).
Conclusion: We are the first to report the mutation status of KRAS and BRAF in pre-therapeutic biopsies from locally advanced rectal cancers. The high number of KRAS mutations in codons 61 and 146 emphasizes the importance to expand current mutation analyses, whereas BRAF mutations are not relevant for rectal carcinogenesis. Although the KRAS Mutation Status Was not Correlated with response, the Subtle difference between G12V and G13D mutations warrants analysis of a larger patient population.

AB The rare disease community suffers from the absence of reliable epidemiological data on the prevalence and incidence of rare diseases in the national and global populations. The rare diseases community includes all of the stakeholders involved in the research and development and dissemination of products and information for the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of rare diseases or conditions. To replace many of the perceived myths with realities, several global efforts are required if we are going to sustain and increase the reported progress with the thousands of rare diseases. One is the identification and expansion of worldwide partnerships and collaborations of Patient Advocacy Groups for individual rare diseases. Another requirement is to develop a global research infrastructure of qualified investigators to stimulate and coordinate research efforts by seeking ways to provide access to clinical trials at multi-national research sites with common protocols and multi-disciplinary research teams. Providing ready access to the information about rare diseases, patient advocacy groups, research studies and products in research protocols will continue to improve the lives of patients and their families. Many scientists, public and private sector organizations, patient advocacy groups, foundations, and the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical devices industries are committed to translating research discoveries that will be useful in the care of patients with rare diseases over their lifespan. Evidence from well constructed epidemiological studies will provide the evidence that point to the value of additional clinical studies to increase the understanding of rare diseases.

AB Several genes that cause familial forms of Parkinson's disease (PD) or similar disorders have been found in recent years. The aim of this review is to cover two broad aspects of the logic of genetics. The first aspect is the recognition that PD can have a genetic basis, either for Mendelian families where genes can be identified because mutations segregate with disease or in populations where more common variants are associated with disease. There are several causal genes for both dominant and recessive forms of parkinsonism, some of which overlap with sporadic PD and some of which have more complex phenotypes. Several of the dominant loci have also been reliably identified as risk factors for sporadic PD. The second topic is how the study of multiple mutations in any given gene can help understand the role that the protein under investigation plays in PD. Examples will be given of both recessive and dominant genes for parkinsonism, showing how the analysis of multiple gene mutations can be a powerful approach for dissecting out which function(s) are important for the disease process.

AB Selenocysteine (Sec), the 2 1st amino acid in the genetic code, is encoded by UGA. The pathway of Sec biosynthesis in eukaryotes has only recently been discovered. Sec is constructed on its tRNA that is initially aminoacylated with serine and modified to a phosphoseryl-tRNA intermediate with the help of several dedicated enzymes. More than 50 selenoprotein families are now known with most selenoproteins being oxidoreductases. Development of bioinformatics tools led to the identification of entire sets of selenoproteins in organisms, selenoproteomes, which in turn helped explain biological and biomedical effects of dietary selenium and identify new functions of selenium in biology. Roles of selenium and selenoproteins in health have also been addressed through sophisticated transgenic/knockout models that targeted removal or modulation of Sec tRNA expression.

AB Oligonucleotides function as recognition elements for both nucleic acids and proteins in many ways. starting front their basic function as genetic material recognizing the complementary sequences of RNA or DNA, through their role as genetic regulatory elements in the form of antisense DNA/RNA, interfering RNA (RNAi) as well as enzymatic activities such as trails-cleaving ribozymes. Oligonucleotides call also serve as recognition elements for proteins ill the form of aptamers. All of these functions are derived from the basic primary, secondary, and tertiary structures along with their combinatorial nature, which allows vast variability within even short sequences.
For biotechnology, the utility of oligonucleotides goes far beyond their basic function as a carrier of genetic information. Oligonucleotides are widely used as recognition elements for a large number of DNA and protein manipulation technologies. Including numerous Methods for DNA amplification. manipulation (e.g., mutation insertion or repair), and DNA Sequence recognition and analysis They are used for manipulation of gene expression including the use of ribozymes to catalyze RNA digestion, and siRNA and anti-sense RNA/DNA used for gene silencing ill both ill vitro and in vivo lit addition, they serve as ail alternative to antibodies as ligands for protein detection.
The term oligonucleotide (or oligo) refers to a short segment of DNA or RNA commonly synthesized today by polymerizing nucleotide precursors using automated synthesizers Although most oligos used in molecular biology arc short ill the range of 20-30 bases (or mer), the term Is used here also to refer to longer sequences (e.g., similar to 200 bases) and to ribozymes, which arc traditionally clot viewed as oligos.
In this manuscript. we describe the basic Structure of oligonucleotides relevant to general utility tit molecular biology and biotechnology This utility Includes function as recognition elements, basic utility for DNA amplification, recognition and manipulation, application for the regulation of gene expression and function and utility as protein recognition elements.

AB Modern molecular modeling tools are intensively used to gain knowledge of events occurring upon photoexcitation of organic chromophores in the gas-phase, in solution and in protein matrices. We applied quantum mechanical approach to estimate equilibrium geometry configurations as well as positions and intensities of spectral bands for a number of red fluorescent proteins, including the DsRed from Discosoma coral, and its mutants of the so-called mFruits series. As demonstrated in our previous simulations for GFP and blue fluorescent proteins, this strategy was proven to be productive for modeling. The model system is designed as a molecular cluster constructed on the basis of available crystal structures of the related protein. The equilibrium geometry of the cluster is optimized using density functional theory approximations. The vertical excitation energies corresponding to the S(0)-S(1) transitions are computed by using the semiempirical ZINDO technique. Mechanisms of photoexcitation, identification of the functional states of the chromophores, elucidation the role of point mutations in the photoreceptor proteins are considered on the basis of simulations.

AB The microdistribution of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies within a tumor is important for determining clinical response. Nonuniform microdistribution predicts therapy failure. Herein, we developed a semiquantitative method for measuring microdistribution of an antibody within a tumor using in situ fluorescence microscopy and sought to modulate the microdistribution by altering the route and timing of antibody dosing. The microdistribution of a fluorescently-labeled antibody, trastuzumab (50-mu g and 150-mu g intraperitoneal injection (i.p.), and 100-mu g intravenous injection (i.v.)) was evaluated in a peritoneal dissemination mouse model of ovarian cancer. In addition, we evaluated the microdistribution of concurrently-injected (30-mu g i.p. and 100-mu g i.v.) or serial (two doses of 30-mu g i.p.) trastuzumab using in situ multicolor fluorescence microscopy. After the administration of 50-mu g i.p. and 100-mu g i.v. trastuzumab fluorescence imaging showed no significant difference in the central to peripheral signal ratio (C/P ratio) and demonstrated a peripheral-dominant accumulation, whereas administration of 150-mu g i.p. trastuzumab showed relatively uniform, central dominant accumulation. With concurrent-i.p.-i.v. injections trastuzumab showed slightly higher C/P ratio than concurrently-injected i.p. trastuzumab. Moreover, in the serial injection study, the second injection of trastuzumab distributed more centrally than the first injection, while no difference was observed in the control group. Our results suggest that injection routes do not affect the microdistribution pattern of antibody in small peritoneal disseminations. However, increasing the dose results in a more uniform antibody distribution within peritoneal nodules. Furthermore, the serial i.p. injection of antibody can modify the microdistribution within tumor nodules. This work has implications for the optimal delivery of antibody based cancer therapies.

AB Human female reproductive aging consists of multiple processes and interacts with other physiological systems in unique ways. Here we discuss eight recent longitudinal, epidemiologic studies of female reproductive aging that include endocrine data to highlight their contributions to our understanding of these various aging processes and their interactions. Specifically, we review data on ovarian and nonovarian reproductive aging processes and reproductive staging. We consider these data in the context of longitudinal research design and research goals, identify limitations of the studies but also ways in which existing longitudinal data can further our understanding of aging processes, and make recommendations for future studies of female reproductive aging.

AB Turner syndrome (TS) or monosomy X, is the most common cause of hypergonadotropic hypogonadism in girls and young women. This chapter reviews the prevalence and different presentations of the syndrome and explains its chromosomal origins. The interpretation of chromosomal studies in diagnosis of and prognosis for TS, including prenatal testing, is reviewed. The most recent data on the TS phenotypic spectrum indicate similar to 95% have short stature and similar to 95% have primary ovarian failure, most presenting with primary amenorrhea but a significant number is present with 2 amenorrhea. Recent studies indicate that dysmorphic features are less common than previously described but complex cardiovascular defects and metabolic problems including osteoporosis, thyroid dysfunction, diabetes, and dyslipidemia are more common than previously appreciated. A significant proportion of young girls may have viable ovarian follicles with 15-20% experiencing spontaneous puberty, and 3-5% may achieve natural pregnancy. Spontaneous and assisted pregnancies with donated oocytes are associated with serious maternal complications, including eclampsia, diabetes, and catastrophic aortic dissections in women with TS. Thus, all TS women contemplating pregnancy need thorough medical and especially cardiologic evaluations and counseling as to the risks involved. Protocols for the physiologic induction of puberty and for the maintenance of feminization and prevention of osteoporosis in adults are described. The experience of premature ovarian failure and infertility leads to impaired psychosocial and sexual functioning in many women with TS. More attention focused on the psychological aspects of premature ovarian failure may help them cope with the diagnosis in a more positive manner.

AB The use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) is increasing worldwide. Though most ART pregnancies are uncomplicated and result in the birth of healthy children, it should be noted that some ART pregnancies are at higher risk for adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes as compared to spontaneously conceived pregnancies. For many of these outcomes, it is not clear whether and to what extent observed complications are related to ART procedures themselves vs. the underlying condition(s) impairing fertility. Additional research is needed, keeping in mind specific methodological challenges.
It is abundantly clear, however, that complications arising from multiple gestations conceived with ART are the major contributor to the adverse outcomes seen among ART mothers and children. Continued emphasis on reducing morbidity and mortality by reducing the number of embryos transferred per cycle while maintaining reasonable pregnancy rates is imperative.
Recent data indicate that even singleton ART pregnancies are at higher risk of perinatal and possibly longer-term child health and developmental problems than naturally conceived singleton pregnancies. Couples seeking infertility treatment and ART should be carefully counseled about these risks.

AB Research suggests that exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) may result in decreased child growth, though the critical window(s) are unclear. We investigated the association between PCBs and child size at age 24 months (n = 44). PCBs were measured in first trimester serum, breast milk, and child serum at age 24 months, and dichotomized at the median. Age- and gender-specific z-scores were calculated for anthropometric measures. Using linear regression, we observed no significant changes in z-scores with prenatal or postnatal serum PCB concentrations. PCB-77 in breast milk was associated with a significant decrease in z-score for length. To our knowledge, this study is the first to examine child size in relation to PCBs measured early in pregnancy, as well as quantifying a far greater number of congeners. Further research is needed to clarify critical windows, congener-specific effects, and effect modification by sex in relation to PCBs and child anthropometric measures. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc.

AB In complex diseases different genotypic perturbations of the cellular system often lead to the same phenotype. While characteristic genomic alterations in many cancers exist, other combinations of genomic perturbations potentially lead to the same disease, dysregulating important pathways of the cellular system. In this study, we developed novel computational methods to identify dysregulated pathways and their direct causes in individual patients or patient groups. Specifically, we introduced efficient and powerful graph theoretic algorithms to identify such dysregulated pathways and their causal genes and applied our methods to a large set of glioma specific molecular data.

AB Background: We have previously reported that TNF-alpha levels correlate to total mycobacterial burden in tuberculosis (TB) patients. Objective: To characterize the dynamics of cytokine responses in TB patients during chemotherapy to identify potential surrogate markers for effective treatment. Methods: Following induction by culture filtrate proteins in whole blood, production patterns of TNF-alpha, IL-10, IFN-gamma and IL-12 were measured in 23 non-multidrug-resistant (MDR)-TB and 16 MDR-TB patients and in 31 healthy controls. Rates of mycobacterial clearance from the sputum were then measured and compared. Results: Prior to the initiation of chemotherapy, TNF-alpha and IL-10 levels were significantly higher in TB patients than in healthy controls while IFN-gamma and IL-12 levels were similar. During chemotherapy, the levels of all 4 cytokines increased. We evaluated these responses separately in patients that did and did not clear their sputum culture at 2 and 6 months. At 2 months, decreases in both IFN-gamma and IL-12 correlated strongly with a successful early response, while after 6 months of therapy, when half (7/14) of MDR-TB patients were still sputum culture positive, downregulation of TNF-alpha was uniquely correlated with sputum conversion between the groups. Conclusion: Our findings suggest the possibility that the regulation of TNF-alpha production in whole blood may be a more specific indicator of sputum conversion at 6 months than IFN-gamma, IL-12 or IL-10 in MDR-TB patients.

AB The greatest therapeutic promise of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) is to generate specialized cells to replace damaged tissue in patients suffering from various degenerative diseases. However, the signaling mechanisms involved in lineage restriction of ESC to adopt various cellular phenotypes are still under investigation. Furthermore, for progression of hESC-based therapies towards clinical applications, appropriate culture conditions must be developed to generate genetically stable homogenous populations of cells, to hinder possible adverse effects following transplantation. Other critical challenges that must be addressed for successful cell implantation include problems related to survival and functional efficacy of the grafted cells. This review initially describes the derivation of hESC and focuses on recent advances in generation, characterization, and maintenance of these cells. We also give an overview of original and emerging differentiation strategies used to convert hESC to different cell types. Finally, we will discuss transplantation studies of hESC-derived cells with respect to safety and functional recovery.

AB Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe fundus autofluorescence imaging features of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis and to correlate fundus autofluorescence features with clinical activity.
Methods: A retrospective case series was undertaken to evaluate nine eyes of six patients with active CMV retinitis. Patients were evaluated with a comprehensive ophthalmic examination, fundus autofluorescence imaging, and fundus photography. Oral valganciclovir, intravitreal ganciclovir, intravitreal foscarnet, or an ganciclovir implant was administered as clinically indicated.
Results: In all nine eyes with active CMV retinitis, a hyperautofluorescent signal on fundus autofluorescence imaging was correlated spatially with the border of advancing CMV retinitis. Stippled areas of alternating hyperautofluorescence and hypoautofluorescence were observed in regions of retinal pigment epithelium atrophy from prior CMV retinitis. In three eyes with subtle CMV reactivation, a hyperautofluorescent border was helpful in the detection and localization of active CMV retinitis. In another patient, diffuse, punctate hyperautofluorescence after intravitreal ganciclovir and foscarnet was a concern for medication-related toxicity.
Conclusion: Fundus autofluorescence imaging was valuable in highlighting areas of active CMV retinitis in all patients in this series, including two patients with subtle clinical features. Fundus autofluorescence may be useful as an adjunctive imaging modality for the detection of CMV activity and aid in our understanding of the structural changes during episodes of CMV retinitis.

AB Purpose: The purpose of this study was to quantify photoreceptor outer segment (PROS) length in 27 consecutive patients (30 eyes) with diabetic macular edema using spectral domain optical coherence tomography and to describe the correlation between PROS length and visual acuity.
Methods: Three spectral domain-optical coherence tomography scans were performed on all eyes during each session using Cirrus HD-OCT. A prototype algorithm was developed for quantitative assessment of PROS length. Retinal thicknesses and PROS lengths were calculated for 3 parameters: macular grid (6 x 6 mm), central subfield (1 mm), and center foveal point (0.33 mm). Intrasession repeatability was assessed using coefficient of variation and intraclass correlation coefficient. The association between retinal thickness and PROS length with visual acuity was assessed using linear regression and Pearson correlation analyses. The main outcome measures include intrasession repeatability of macular parameters and correlation of these parameters with visual acuity.
Results: Mean retinal thickness and PROS length were 298 mu m to 381 mu m and 30 mu m to 32 mu m, respectively, for macular parameters assessed in this study. Coefficient of variation values were 0.75% to 4.13% for retinal thickness and 1.97% to 14.01% for PROS length. Intraclass correlation coefficient values were 0.96 to 0.99 and 0.73 to 0.98 for retinal thickness and PROS length, respectively. Slopes from linear regression analyses assessing the association of retinal thickness and visual acuity were not significantly different from 0 (P > 0.20), whereas the slopes of PROS length and visual acuity were significantly different from 0 (P < 0.0005). Correlation coefficients for macular thickness and visual acuity ranged from 0.13 to 0.22, whereas coefficients for PROS length and visual acuity ranged from -0.61 to -0.81.
Conclusion: Photoreceptor outer segment length can be quantitatively assessed using Cirrus HD-OCT. Although the intrasession repeatability of PROS measurements was less than that of macular thickness measurements, the stronger correlation of PROS length with visual acuity suggests that the PROS measures may be more directly related to visual function. Photoreceptor outer segment length may be a useful physiologic outcome measure, both clinically and as a direct assessment of treatment effects. RETINA 30:63-70,2010

AB Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), a multifunctional protein, acts in retinal differentiation, survival and maintenance by interacting with high affinity receptors on the surface of target cells. We have recently identified PEDF-R, a new member of the patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing 2 (PNPLA2) family with characteristics of a PEDF receptor. The PEDF-R sequence reveals a patatin-like phospholipase domain toward its amino-end, and four transmembrane domains interrupted by two extracellular loops and three intracellular regions along its polypeptide sequence. This newly identified protein is present on the surface of retina and RPE cells, and has the expected transmembrane topology. It has specific and high binding affinity for PEDF, and exhibits a potent phospholipase A(2) activity that liberates fatty acids. Most importantly, PEDF binding stimulates the enzymatic phospholipase A(2) activity of PEDF-R. In summary, PEDF-R is a novel component of the retina that is a phospholipase-linked membrane protein with high affinity for PEDF. The results suggest a molecular pathway by which PEDF ligand/receptor interactions on the cell surface could generate a cellular signal. These conclusions enhance our understanding of the role of PEDF as a neurotrophic survival factor.

AB Mutations in Retinitis Pigmentosa GTPase Regulator (RPGR) are a frequent cause of X-linked Retinitis Pigmentosa (XLRP). The RPGR gene undergoes extensive alternative splicing and encodes for distinct protein isoforms in the retina. Extensive studies using isoform-specific antibodies and mouse mutants have revealed that RPGR predominantly localizes to the transition zone to primary cilia and associates with selected ciliary and microtubule-associated assemblies in photoreceptors. In this chapter, we have summarized recent advances on understanding the role of RPGR in photoreceptor protein trafficking. We also provide new evidence that suggests the existence of discrete RPGR multiprotein complexes in photoreceptors. Piecing together the RPGR-interactome in different subcellular compartments should provide critical insights into the role of alternative RPGR isoforms in associated orphan and syndromic retinal degenerative diseases.

AB Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a group of inherited retinal degenerations, caused by mutations in one of many genes - some already identified, and some still yet to be discovered. While there are many different genes involved and great heterogeneity among these genes, the underlying common source of vision loss is retinal dysfunction related to photoreceptor loss. The sequence of histopathologic changes associated with RP occurs in several stages. The 1st stage is associated with rod photoreceptor dysfunction and ultimate death and the second with cone photoreceptor demise. Following photoreceptor loss, a number of secondary changes occur, with retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells detaching from of Bruch's membrane and migrating into the inner retina to ultimately accumulate and surround blood vessels which gives rise to the "bone spicules" observed clinically. Other pathologies include attenuation of blood vessels, retinal gliosis, migration of microglia into the outer retina, optic nerve atrophy and mild vitritis. Current therapies for RP include: genetic replacement of missing/mutated proteins via viral vectors, addition (by injection or surgery) of factors or supplements that may prolong photoreceptor survival, transplantation of photoreceptors and RPE cells and electrical stimulation of remaining neurons, as well as developing therapies targeted at preventing photoreceptor apoptosis. Understanding the histopathologic changes occurring in RP is critical to understanding the rationale for current therapies, as well as to develop future therapies. Mouse models of retinitis pigmentosa, have been instrumental in aiding the study of histopathologic changes that occur in the setting of retinitis pigmentosa and to initiate and study various treatment approaches. Many of the findings of the histopathologic changes and treatment avenues are explored in these models.

AB The pioneering phase of the study of retroviruses resulted in the identification of viruses associated with diseases in chickens, mice and cats. Exogenous retroviruses have since been isolated from many vertebrate species, and classified into seven genera that can be grouped into two general categories. Alpharetroviruses, betaretroviruses and gammaretroviruses are genetically simple, encoding only nucleoprotein, matrix, capsid, reverse transcriptase, integrase, protease and envelope proteins. Deltaretroviruses, epsilonretroviruses, lentiviruses and spumaviruses are considered complex because they encode in addition to the proteins listed above, a number of ancillary proteins that often play an important role in gene regulation. In this chapter we review recent findings of representative simple mammalian gammaretroviruses and the complex piscine epsilonretroviruses and bovine leukaemia virus with the intent of illustrating how these viruses have shed light on the mechanisms of viral function, evolution and pathogenesis within the animal kingdom that hosts them.

AB The prevalence of obesity has increased dramatically worldwide, whereas the type s of treatment and their efficacy have not substantially changed over the last two decades. Additionally, drugs used to control weight gain could occasionally create untoward effects in cardiovascular functions, as well as in behaviors, memory, sleep, and emotions because the molecular machinery responsible for ingestion control is interconnected with or shared by the above domains. How each group of drugs preserves the privacy of its message in the mutual network is not fully understood. In the present essay, the graph theory approach was used to explore some aspects of molecular signaling as though they were a 'language'. Its emphasis is on 'molecular polysemy', a term that refers to the ability of biomolecules to be used like words in natural languages more than one-way. This has physiological and clinical implications, in particular when planning drug designs with "specially engineered shotgun loads" that target a combination of biomolecules that assure a better therapeutic outcome without causing deficits in connected but patho-physiologically irrelevant bystanders.

AB Salivary gland organogenesis involves the specification, maintenance, lineage commitment, and differentiation of epithelial stem/progenitor cells. Identifying how stem/progenitor cells are directed along a series of cell fate decisions to form a functional salivary gland will be necessary for future stem cell regenerative therapy. The identification of stem/progenitor cells within the salivary gland has focused on their role in postnatal glands and little is known about them in embryonic glands. Here, we have reviewed the information available for other developing organ systems and used it to determine whether similar cell populations exist in the mouse submandibular gland. Additionally, using growth factors that influence salivary gland epithelial morphogenesis during development, we have taken a simple experimental approach asking whether any of these growth factors influence early developmental lineages within the salivary epithelium on a transcriptional level. These preliminary findings show that salivary epithelial stem/progenitor populations exist within the gland, and that growth factors that are reported to control epithelial morphogenesis may also impact cell fate decisions. Further investigation of the signaling networks that influence stem/progenitor cell behavior will allow us to hypothesize how we might induce autologous stem cells to regenerate damaged salivary tissue in a therapeutic context.

AB Objectives. To determine whether treatment of trichomoniasis increases the risk of prematurity
Design. Sub-analysis of a randomised trial.
Setting We analysed data from HPTN 024, a randomised trial of antenatal and intrapartum antibiotics to reduce chorioamnionitis-related perinatal HIV transmission.
Subjects. Pregnant women front four sites in Africa.
Outcome measures. Gestational age at the time of delivery or mean birth weight.
Results Of 2 428 women-infant pairs included, 428 (18%) had trichomomasis at enrolment. There were no differences in infant age or birth weight between women with or without trichomoniasis By randomisation group, there were no differences in gestational age at birth or birth weight Of the 428 women diagnosed with trichomoniasis, 365 (83%) received antibiotics and 63 (15%) did not In analysis of actual use of antibiotics, women with trichomoniasis who received no treatment were more likely to deliver a preterm infant when the symphysis-fundal height was used to estimate gestational age (36% v. 23%; p=0.03), but not when the Ballard score Was used (16%, v. 21%,; p=0 41). There were no differences in mean birth weight between groups
Conclusions In pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa, most of whom were HIV-infected, neither trichomoniasis nor its treatment appears to influence the risk of preterm birth or a low-birth-weight infant.

AB Background: Little is known about the effects of antipsychotic medications on gray matter (GM) in schizophrenia. Although clozapine remains the most effective antipsychotic medication in treatment-refractory cases, it is unknown whether it has a differential effect on GM development.
Methods: In an exploratory analysis, we used automated cortical thickness measurements and prospectively scanned childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS) patients who were maintained on one medication. Two atypical antipsychotic medications, clozapine (n=12, 37 scans) and olanzapine (n=12, 33 scans) were compared with respect to effects on cortical development, in contrast to GM trajectories of matched controls.
Results: There were no significant differences in the trajectories of cortical thickness between the two treatment groups with the exception of a small circumscribed area in the right prefrontal cortex, where the olanzapine group showed thicker cortex As expected, both groups showed thinner GM compared to matched controls.
Conclusions: Although these analyses do not rule out effects of antipsychotic medications on GM development in schizophrenia, they show no differential effect between clozapine and olanzapine on GM trajectory. Published by Elsevier B.V.

AB The Resource Description Framework (RDF) format is being used by a large number of scientific applications to store and disseminate their datasets. The provenance information, describing the source or lineage of the datasets, is playing an increasingly significant role in ensuring data quality, computing trust value of the datasets, and ranking query results. Current provenance tracking approaches using the RDF reification vocabulary suffer from a number of known issues, including lack of formal semantics, use of blank nodes, and application-dependent interpretation of reified RDF triples. In this paper, we introduce a new approach called Provenance Context Entity (PaCE) that uses the notion of provenance context to create provenance-aware RDF triples. We also define the formal semantics of PaCE through a simple extension of the existing RDF(S) semantics that ensures compatibility of PaCE with existing Semantic Web tools and implementations. We have implemented the PaCE approach in the Biomedical Knowledge Repository (BKR) project at the US National Library of Medicine. The evaluations demonstrate a minimum of 49% reduction in total number of provenance-specific RDF triples generated using the PaCE approach as compared to RDF reification. In addition, performance for complex queries improves by three orders of magnitude and remains comparable to the RDF reification approach for simpler provenance queries.

TI Cancer Genesis Across the Age Spectrum: Associations With Tissue
Development, Maintenance, and Senescence
SO SEMINARS IN RADIATION ONCOLOGY
LA English
DT Article
ID PREVENTION; IMPACT; CELLS
AB Cancer genesis across the age spectrum is a complex, multifactorial process, and parallels changes in site-specific tissue development, maintenance, and senescence. Cancer is not a single disease, and different tumor and stem cells may demonstrate various manifestations of abnormal function. Mutations in DNA, some random and some explained by exogenous insults, accompanied by changes in the tissue microenvironment, generally precede the onset of aberrant replication and apoptosis. Moreover, increasing evidence suggests that genetic programs normally active only during development of human beings may be reactivated during tumorigenesis. The complicated underlying biology of human growth, development, and carcinogenesis is reflected in the highly disparate patterns in site-specific cancer incidence rates across age groups. In childhood, the peak years of an organ system's increase in size correlate with peak years of cancer incidence. Conversely, in most adult-onset cancers, it is exposure to exogenous toxins, the failure of maintenance and repair, and finally, dysfunction(s) in the normal cellular aging process that likely play a role in the development of these malignancies. Additional basic science investigations and epidemiologic studies will assist in our understanding of the mechanisms that underlie the notable difference in site-specific cancer incidence according to age.

AB Development of a second malignancy is one of the most serious late effects in survivors of both childhood and adult-onset cancers. Patterns of second malignancy risk across the age spectrum can differ in terms of the types of second malignancies observed, magnitude of the risks, the latency period, associated risk factors, and modifying influences. Potential explanations for the varying risk patterns by age include differences in susceptibility of individual tissue/organ to carcinogenesis based on stage of development and level of tissue maturity, microenvironment, attained age, and lifestyle factors. A thorough understanding of these differences is essential when considering treatment modifications in newly diagnosed cancer patients who are aimed at reducing the risk of second malignancy and other late effects without compromising cure. Moreover, an understanding of the variations in second cancer risk according to age at treatment is important in customizing patient follow-up. Semin Radiat Oncol 20:67-78 (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc.

AB Proper nutrition, avoidance of ingesting substances that are harmful to the whole organism, and maintenance of energy homeostasis are crucial for living organisms. Additionally, mammals possess a sophisticated system to control the types and content of food that we swallow. Gustation is a vital sensory skill for determining which food stuffs to ingest and which to avoid, and for maintaining metabolic homeostasis. It is becoming apparent that there is a strong link between metabolic control and flavor perception. Although the gustatory system critically influences food preference, food intake, and metabolic homeostasis, the mechanisms for modulating taste sensitivity by metabolic hormones are just now being explored. It is likely that hormones produced in the tongue influence the amounts and types of food that we eat: the hormones that we associate with appetite control, glucose homeostasis and satiety, such as glucagon-like peptide-1, cholecystokinin, and neuropeptide Y are also produced locally in taste buds. In this report, we will provide an overview of the peptidergic endocrine hormone factors that are present or are known to have effects within the gustatory system, and we will discuss their roles, where known, in taste signaling.

AB Organisms sense stimuli at the molecular level using a relatively small set of protein domains. Computational analysis of protein sequences along with directed experimental studies have played a major role in the characterization of these protein domains. These sensor domains directly or indirectly detect a vast array of sensory inputs such as solutes, gases, redox potential and light. Here, we systematically survey the types of sensor domains found in bacterial signalling proteins. We summarize the key aspects of their structure that are central to their functions and their associations with other signalling domains. Despite the advances several of these domains remain poorly understood in terms of their structure, ligands and functional significance. We accordingly try to highlight the significance of some of the under-appreciated sensor domains. Genomic analysis reveals that the architectural complexity of sensory domains increases with the number of sensor proteins in a genome, with a gradual plateau towards a point where newer combinations of domains do not provide major selective advantage. Syntactical analysis of domain architectures shows several discernable patterns that have functional relevance, especially in terms of the constraints introduced by signal transmission domains such as HAMP and S-helix modules. Across bacteria, the number of signalling proteins shows a positive correlation with respect to proteome size. However, there is a clear distinction in the trends between bacteria that react directly and rapidly to a large number of small molecule signals vis-a-vis those that possess distinct signalling systems related to developmental complexity. Analysis of scaling trends for individual sensor domains shows that lifestyle strategies play a major role in the selection of the type and number of these domains in an organism. From an evolutionary viewpoint, the vast majority of sensory domains appear to have their origins in the bacteria and have been widely transferred to other superkingdoms of life. In particular, most major eukaryotic sensor domains appear to have their antecedents in bacteria.

AB Background: US cervical cancer screening recommendations have not changed since the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine introduction in 2006, but epidemiological and cost-effectiveness studies indicate that recommendations will need to change for fully vaccinated women. We evaluated physician intentions regarding HPV vaccine's impact on future screening. Methods: A nationally representative sample of 1212 primary care physicians was surveyed in 2006-2007 (response rate: 67.5%). Our study included 1114 physicians who provided Pap testing. Questions covered Pap test screening practices and intentions regarding HPV vaccine's impact on screening. Distribution differences were assessed using chi(2) statistics; multivariate analyses were performed. Results: Overall, 40.7% (95% confidence interval (CI): 37.6-43.8%) of physicians agreed that the HPV vaccine will affect screening initiation, and 38.2% (35.0-41.5%) agreed that vaccination will affect screening frequency. Significant differences in responses were found by specialty; internists were more likely to agree that vaccination would impact screening than other specialties. Belief in the effectiveness of new screening technologies was associated with intention to change screening initiation (odds ratio (OR) = 1.66 (1.20-2.31)) and frequency (OR = 1.99 (1.40-2.83)). Adherence to current Pap test screening interval guidelines was associated with intention to change screening frequency (OR = 1.39 (1.01-1.91)). Conclusions: Many providers anticipate adjusting screening for vaccinated women, but a significant group believes nothing will change or are unsure. The present study provides important baseline data on intentions in the period preceding widespread vaccine diffusion and may help explain current and future trends in practice patterns.

AB Metastatic disease is a major source of cancer morbidity and mortality. Understanding the molecular basis of cancer metastasis will have a considerable impact on cancer therapy. We now understand that uncontrolled cell signaling is of great importance in oncogenesis and tumor progression. A major role in the assembly of signaling proteins into biochemical pathways and networks is played by adaptor proteins. In this chapter we describe specifically the role of these proteins in the process of tumor metastasis and the potential for cancer therapy. Historically considered undruggable targets, protein-protein interactions and adaptor proteins are emerging as rational and viable targets, as exemplified by the development of selective antagonist of the adaptor protein Grb2. Targeting adaptor proteins and cellular miswiring is an emerging and exciting, cancer therapeutic opportunity.

AB Nuclear receptors bind to chromatin and seed formation of complexes comprising coregulators at the hormone response element. Nuclear receptors and coregulators can mediate chromatin remodeling, epigenetic modification, and ultimately gene expression. Chromatin immunoprecipitation has shown that nuclear receptors bind to chromatin throughout the genome, often at locations distant from the transcription start site. New findings related to the regulation of key vitamin D target genes in intestine and bone as well as nonclassical actions of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [1,25(OH)(2)D(3)], including effects on breast cancer cells and on the immune system, are discussed. These studies will form the basis for future studies examining global networks regulated by the vitamin D receptor. It is becoming increasingly recognized that the actions of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3), similar to those of other steroids, is complex, involving regulation of gene activity at a range of locations.

AB Calcium signaling plays a key role in bone turnover, regulating both osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Despite this the role of calmodulin, the primary intracellular calcium receptor regulatory protein, has received little attention. In this brief review, the function of Ca(2+)/calmodulin signaling in osteoclast development, function, and apoptosis is reviewed. Considerable evidence supports an important regulatory role for Ca(2+)/calmodulin signaling in each of these processes. The overall role of Ca(2+)/calmodulin in regulating bone turnover is also supported by animal and human studies showing that calmodulin antagonists preserve bone mass.

AB The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/VEGF receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in tumor angiogenesis. Neovascularization promotes increased tumor cell proliferation, survival and metasasis. Many antiangiogenic agents including multi-RTK inhibitors are either approved or are undergoing testing in clinical trials. Axitinib is a potent and selective inhibitor of VEGF RTK 1, 2, and 3. This chapter discusses the structure of axitinib as well as its toxicities and drug interactions. Important preclinical and clinical data for axitinib are presented including findings from phase 11 studies in many tumor types including malignant melanoma and renal, pancreatic, thyroid, breast, lung and colorectal carcinomas. Ongoing phase III studies in pancreatic and metastatic renal cell carcinoma will ultimately define the therapeutic role of this targeted agent.

AB Socioeconomic factors stand in the way of good health for low-income populations. We suggest that employee benefits might serve as a means of improving the health of low-wage earners. We convened groups of low-income earners to design hypothetical employee benefit packages. Qualitative analysis of group discussions regarding state-mandated benefits indicated that participants were interested in a great variety of benefits, beyond health care, that address socioeconomic determinants of health. Long-term financial and educational investments were of particular value. These results may facilitate the design of employee benefits that promote the health of low-income workers.

AB Ranging from nano-to granular-scales, control of particle assembly can be achieved by limiting the available free space, for example by increasing the concentration of particles (crowding) or through their restriction to 2D environments. It is unclear, however, if self-assembly principles governing thermally equilibrated molecules can also apply to mechanically excited macroscopic particles in non-equilibrium steady-state. Here we show that low densities of vibrofluidized steel rods, when crowded by high densities of spheres and confined to quasi-2D planes, can self-assemble into linear polymer-like structures. Our 2D Monte Carlo simulations show similar finite sized aggregates in thermally equilibrated binary mixtures. Using theory and simulations, we demonstrate how depletion interactions create oriented "binding" forces between rigid rods to form these "living polymers." Unlike rod-sphere mixtures in 3D that can demonstrate well-defined equilibrium phases in coexistence, our mixtures confined to 2D lack these transitions because lower dimensionality favors the formation of linear aggregates, thus suppressing a true phase transition. The qualitative and quantitative agreement between equilibrium and granular patterning for these mixtures suggests that entropy maximization is the determining driving force for bundling. Furthermore, this study uncovers a previously unknown patterning behavior at both the granular and nanoscales, and may provide insights into the role of crowding at interfaces in molecular assembly.

AB We review the elasticity of flexible and stiff polymer networks with permanent cross-links and synthesize these results into a unifying polymer chain network model. This framework is then used to address how the network elasticity becomes modified when the network cross-linking is thermoreversible in nature, changes in the stability of the network with deformation, and the effect of a variable rate of network deformation on the non-linear elastic response. Comparisons are made between this class of simplified network models with elasticity measurements performed on flexible chain and stiff fiber networks, both with permanent and associative cross-links. Although these network models are highly idealized, they are apparently able to capture many aspects of the elastic properties of diverse real networks.

AB Controlled diffusion and release of soluble molecules is one of the key challenges in developing three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds for tissue engineering and drug delivery applications in part because current methods to measure dynamic transport properties are difficult to perform directly, are strongly affected by the experimental setup, and therefore can be a subject to various artifacts. In this work we present a method for direct measurement of translational diffusion of solutes, namely Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS), by characterizing the diffusion of model proteins through a 3D crosslinked poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) hydrogel scaffold. We examined both the dynamics of hydrogel structure (e. g., cross-linking and swelling) as well as protein size and their effect on protein diffusivity. For example, we demonstrated that protein diffusivity was closely related to protein size as smaller proteins (e. g., lysozyme) diffused faster than larger proteins (e. g., g-globulin or Ig). We validated the FCS protein diffusivity results by comparison to standard bulk diffusion assays. Additionally, due to the nature of FCS measurements, we were able to probe for hydrogel-protein interactions during cross-linking that may contribute to the obstructed protein diffusion in the 3D scaffold. We determined that such interactions in this system were not covalent (i.e., were independent of the cross-linking chemistry) but may be due to weaker hydrogen bonding or ionic interactions. Also, these interactions were protein specific and contributed up to 25% of the total decrease in protein diffusivity in the hydrogel as compared to diffusivity in water. Though interactions between various proteins and PEG have been reported, this is the first study that has explored these effects in detail in cross-linked PEG hydrogels using FCS; our findings question the assumption that PEG hydrogels are completely inert to protein interactions when applied as drug delivery matrices and tissue engineering scaffolds.

AB Theory and experimental measurement of work function for electrons in doped silicon surfaces are presented in the article. Definitions of work function and of the local work function are given in the introduction. It was shown, that the value of work function defines the position of Fermi energy level. Numerical calculations of surface potential and electric field for theoretical semiconductor surface models show the difference between finite and infinite surfaces. Photovoltage dependence on charge carriers injection ratio for doped silicon surface was numerically calculated as well. Experimentally determined Fermi energies of doped silicon samples show good agreement with theory for low and moderately doped samples only. Appropriate explanations of disagreement between theory and experiment are given in the conclusion. Suggestions for the system improvement are presented in the Appendix. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

AB Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid mediator with crucial roles in a wide variety of cellular functions across a broad range of organisms. Though a simple molecule in structure, S1P functions are complex. The formation of S1P is catalyzed by one of two sphingosine kinases that have differential cellular distributions as well as both overlapping and opposing functions and which are activated by many different stimuli. S1P can act on a family of G protein-coupled receptors (S1PRs) that are also differentially expressed in different cell types, which influences the cellular responses to S1P. In addition to acting on receptors located on the plasma membrane, S1P can also function inside the cell, independently of S1PRs. It also appears that both the intracellular location and the isotype of sphingosine kinase involved are major determinants of inside-out signaling of S1P in response to many extracellular stimuli. This chapter is focused on the current literature on extracellular and intracellular actions of S1P.

ID MYOFASCIAL TRIGGER POINTS; PAIN; FIBROMYALGIA
AB Myofascial pain is extremely common in athletes. It is a clinical syndrome caused by myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). MTrP is a highly localized and hyper-irritable spot in a palpable taut band of skeletal muscle Fibre and/or its associated fascia. MTrP is usually caused by or associated with neuromuscular injuries, and can be perpetuated or aggravated by some medical conditions (perpetuating factors). There are certain characteristics of a MTrP; localized spot, tenderness, taut band, referred pain, local twitch response, reduced joint range of motion, symptoms waxed and waned, muscle weakness but without atrophy, and autonomic phenomena. Anybody can have MTrP and any one of the 696 skeletal muscles in the body can have MTrp. MTrPs might not exist in early life, but develop in later life due to soft tissue injuries. MTrP is more likely located at the site of dysfunctional endplates. The pathogenesis of MTrPs is probably related to an integrative mechanism in the spinal cord in response to sensitized sensory nerve fibers (nociceptors) associated with dysfunctional endplates.

ID COMPARATIVE GENOMIC HYBRIDIZATION; CANCER; ABERRATIONS
AB We propose a new approach for clustering DNA features using array CGH data from multiple tumor samples. We distinguish data-collapsing (joining contiguous DNA clones or probes with extremely similar data into regions) from clustering (joining contiguous, correlated regions based on a maximum likelihood principle). The model-based clustering algorithm accounts for the apparent spatial patterns in the data. We evaluate the randomness of the clustering result by a cluster stability score in combination with cross-validation. Moreover, we argue that the clustering really captures spatial genomic dependency by showing that coincidental clustering of independent regions is very unlikely.
Using the region and cluster information, we combine testing of these for association with a clinical variable in a hierarchical multiple testing approach. This allows for interpreting the significance of both regions and clusters while controlling the Family-Wise Error Rate simultaneously. We prove that in the context of permutation tests and permutation-invariant clusters it is allowed to perform clustering and testing on the same data set. Our procedures are illustrated on two cancer data sets.

AB Recent applications of principal components analysis (PCA) and multidimensional scaling (MDS) in human population genetics have found that 'statistical maps' based on the genotypes in population-genetic samples often resemble geographic maps of the underlying sampling locations. To provide formal tests of these qualitative observations, we describe a Procrustes analysis approach for quantitatively assessing the similarity of population-genetic and geographic maps. We confirm in two scenarios, one using single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data from Europe and one using SNP data worldwide, that a measurably high level of concordance exists between statistical maps of population-genetic variation and geographic maps of sampling locations. Two other examples illustrate the versatility of the Procrustes approach in population-genetic applications, verifying the concordance of SNP analyses using PCA and MDS, and showing that statistical maps of worldwide copy-number variants (CNVs) accord with statistical maps of SNP variation, especially when CNV analysis is limited to samples with the highest-quality data. As statistical maps with PCA and MDS have become increasingly common for use in summarizing population relationships, our examples highlight the potential of Procrustes-based quantitative comparisons for interpreting the results in these maps.

AB Quasi-least squares (QLS) is a two-stage computational approach for estimation of the correlation parameters in the framework of generalized estimating equations. We prove two general results for the class of mixed linear correlation structures: namely, that the stage one QLS estimate of the correlation parameter always exists and is feasible (yields a positive definite estimated correlation matrix) for any correlation structure, while the stage two estimator exists and is unique (and therefore consistent) with probability one, for the class of mixed linear correlation structures. Our general results justify the implementation of QLS for particular members of the class of mixed linear correlation structures that are appropriate for analysis of data from families that may vary in size and composition. We describe the familial structures and implement them in an analysis of optical spherical values in the Old Order Amish (OOA). For the OOA analysis, we show that we would suffer a substantial loss in efficiency, if the familial structures were the true structures, but were misspecified as simpler approximate structures. To help bridge the interface between Statistics and Medicine, we also provide R software so that medical researchers can implement the familial structures in a QLS analysis of their own data.

AB A case-control mother-child pair design is popular for genetic association studies of obstetric or neonatal outcomes because it allows assessment of both maternal and offspring genotype effects. But a practical constraint is the high genotyping cost, which may double that for a study with the same number of unrelated cases and controls. This issue is particularly relevant for genome-wide association studies, despite the decreasing genotyping cost. Here, we developed cost-effective genotyping strategies for the case-control mother-child pair design. We assumed that the maternal genome had been genotyped a priori, and that the primary goal was to detect marginal offspring genotype effects. Our results indicated that only offspring of case mothers needed to be genotyped in order to achieve a statistical power similar to that for screening the maternal genome. Our conclusion was based on a novel score statistic for testing offspring genotype effects that has a higher power than the Armitage trend test.

AB Stromal cells have been used to induce dopaminergic differentiation of mouse, primate, and human embryonic stem cells (hESCs), but the mechanism that governs this induction is unknown. In this manuscript, we show that medium conditioned by the stromal cell line PA6 (PA6-CM) can induce dopaminergic differentiation in neural stem cells (NSCs) derived from hESCs but not directly from hESCs, indicating that soluble factors produced by PA6 cells act at the NSC stage to specify a dopaminergic fate. To identify such soluble factors, we analyzed the transcriptomes of PA6 cells, NSCs, and dopaminergic populations induced by PA6-CM from hESC-derived NSCs. We focused our analysis on growth factors expressed by PA6 and receptors expressed by NSCs, and generated a list of growth factors and receptors that are differentially expressed. Some of the growth factor/receptor pairs are categorized into the Shh, Wnt5A, TGF beta, and IGF pathways. The expression of genes activated by these pathways in dopaminergic populations was analyzed to confirm that these signals were likely candidates for specifying dopaminergic fate. Results were verified for Shh by using perturbation agents such as cyclopamine to show that Shh is indeed one of the active agents in PA6-CM, and by showing that Shh and FGF8 can substitute for PA6-CM at the NSC induction stage. We conclude that PA6-CM can induce dopaminergic differentiation in hESCs in a stage-specific manner. Shh is likely an important soluble dopaminergic inducing factor secreted by stromal cells and acts after the neural fate determination.

AB The characterization of the subfamily of steroid hormone receptors has enhanced our understanding of how a set of hormonally derived lipophilic ligands controls cellular and molecular functions to influence development and help achieve homeostasis. The glucocorticoid receptor (GR), the first member of this subfamily, is a ubiquitously expressed intracellular protein, which functions as a ligand-dependent transcription factor that regulates the expression of glucocorticoid-responsive genes. The effector domains of the GR mediate transcriptional activation by recruiting coregulatory multi-subunit complexes that remodel chromatin, target initiation sites, and stabilize the RNA-polymerase II machinery for repeated rounds of transcription of target genes. This review summarizes the basic aspects of the structure and actions of the human (h) GR, and the molecular basis of its biologic functions. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB Background and Purpose-We propose to study possible differences in the associations between risk factors for cardiovascular disease (myocardial infarction and stroke) and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) measurements made at 3 different levels of the carotid bifurcation.
Methods-We conducted a cross-sectional study of a cohort of whites and blacks of both genders with a mean age of 45 years. Traditional cardiovascular risk factors were determined in cohort members. Carotid IMT was measured from high-resolution B-mode ultrasound images at 3 levels: the common carotid artery, the carotid artery bulb (bulb), and the internal carotid artery. Associations with risk factors were evaluated by multivariate linear regression analyses.
Results-Of 3258 who underwent carotid IMT measurements, common carotid artery, bulb, and internal carotid artery IMT were measured at all 3 separate levels in 3023 (92.7%). A large proportion of the variability of common carotid artery IMT was explained by cardiovascular risk factors (26.8%) but less so for the bulb (11.2%) and internal carotid artery (8.0%). Carotid IMT was consistently associated with age, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, smoking, and hypertension in all segments. Associations with fasting glucose and diastolic blood pressure were stronger for common carotid artery than for the other segments. Hypertension, diabetes, and current smoking had qualitatively stronger associations with bulb IMT and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol with internal carotid artery IMT.
Conclusion-In our cohort of relatively young white and black men and women, a greater proportion of the variability in common carotid IMT can be explained by traditional cardiovascular risk factors than for the carotid artery bulb and internal carotid arteries. (Stroke. 2010;41:9-15.)

AB Although the genes that encode membrane proteins make about 30% of the sequenced genomes, the evolution of membrane proteins and their origins are still poorly understood. Here we address this topic by taking a closer look at those membrane proteins the ancestors of which were present in the Last Universal Common Ancestor, and in particular, the F/V-type rotating ATPases. Reconstruction of their evolutionary history provides hints for understanding not only the origin of membrane proteins, but also of membranes themselves. We argue that the evolution of biological membranes could occur as a process of co-evolution of lipid bilayers and membrane proteins, where the increase in the ion-tightness of the membrane bilayer may have been accompanied by a transition from amphiphilic, pore-forming membrane proteins to highly hydrophobic integral membrane complexes.

AB The authors systematically reviewed 42 quantitative studies on the relationship between media exposure and tobacco, illicit drug, and alcohol use among children and adolescents. Overall, 83% of studies reported that media was associated with increased risk of smoking initiation, use of illicit drugs, and alcohol consumption. Of 30 studies examining media content, 95% found a statistically significant association between increased media exposure and negative outcomes. Similarly, of the 12 studies evaluating the quantity of media exposure, 67% reported an association with a negative outcome. Overall, all 17 of the identified longitudinal studies supported a causal association between media exposure and negative outcomes over time. The evidence was strongest for links between media exposure and tobacco use; it was moderate for illicit drug use and alcohol use. Substantial variability in methodological rigor across studies and expanding definitions of media exposure contribute to persistent gaps in the knowledge base.

AB Focus groups were conducted in 2005-2006 with 25 urban methadone-maintained outpatients to examine beliefs about the role of spirituality in addiction and its appropriateness informal treatment. Thematic analyses suggested that spirituality and religious practices suffered in complex ways during active addiction, but went "hand in hand" with recovery. Participants agreed that integration of a voluntary spiritual discussion group into formal treatment would be preferable to currently available alternatives. One limitation was that all participants identified as strongly spiritual. Studies of more diverse samples will help guide the development and evaluation of spiritually based interventions informal treatment.

AB This chapter presents an introduction to the kinetic analysis of SPR biosensor data for the determination of affinity and kinetic rate constants of biomolecular interactions between an immobilized and a soluble binding partner. The need to be aware of and critically test the assumptions underlying the analysis models is emphasized and the consequences for the experimental design are discussed. The two most common sources of deviation in SPR surface binding kinetics from the ideal pseudo-first-order binding kinetics of bimolecular reactions are mass transport limitations and the heterogeneity of the surface sites. These problems are intrinsic to the use of a biosensor surface for characterizing interactions. The effect of these factors on the observed binding kinetics, and strategies to account for them are reviewed, both in the context of mathematical data analysis, as well as the design of the experiments and controls.

The results of our experiments showed that PYRRO/NO is more stable (based on reactivity) in ionic liquid [EMIM][Ms] (with reaction yields up to 52%) than in DMF, that substitution products can be separated directly and quantitatively from the ionic liquid using a single flash-column separation, and that the ionic liquids can also be recovered and reused in a second iteration of the same reaction to achieve similar yields.

AB Genes are coordinately regulated and expressed as forming various transcriptional modules or networks to carry out complex and condition-specific biological functions in living cells. In this chapter, we describe a series of new methodologies for identifying transcriptional modules and regulatory networks and examining their evolutionarily conserved and divergent patterns from gene expression and transcription factor data. The methods are based on a two-stage matrix decomposition model consisting of a nonlinear independent component analysis followed by a sparse matrix analysis. The methods take into account the nonlinear structure in gene expression data, particularly in the TF-target gene interactions, capable of capturing transcriptional modularity that might result from highly nonlinear interactions among genes. The methods model gene expression as a linear weighted combination of a small number of regulatory prototypes such as transcription factors, underscoring the fact that a small number of regulatory genes have predominant impact to the expression of most of genes and function in a combinatorial manner. The methods allow partitioning genes into mutually nonexclusive transcriptional modules, underlying the fact that one gene may have multiple functions or participate in multiple biological processes. In comparison with other methods, the new methods show a significant improvement in identifying biologically more meaningful transcriptional modules and regulatory network.

AB Major government efforts to widen the use of health information technology and speed the translation of biomedical research discoveries into clinical practice are converging with the rapid growth of the Internet to create unprecedented opportunities to use tele-health networks to broaden access to high-quality healthcare and expand the scope and reach of clinical and translational research. Recognizing the dual potential of tele-health networks to improve health outcomes and reduce barriers to participation in research, particularly in medically underserved communities, the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), part of the National Institutes of Health ( NIH), convened a national conference at the NIH on June 25-26, 2009, titled "Future of Telehealth: Essential Tools and Technologies for Clinical Research and Care,'' in collaboration with experts from the Health Resources and Services Administration, the Indian Health Service, the Department of Veterans Affairs, Internet2, and the NIH National Library of Medicine, National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering, and National Center for Minority Health and Health Disparities. The conference brought together over 400 subject matter experts from government, academia, and industry to discuss a wide range of issues in telehealth research and development. Its primary outcome is a set of short papers reporting on recommendations from thematic breakout sessions and some overarching recommendations that can, taken together, stimulate and help guide further research through new multi-agency, interdisciplinary collaborations.

AB The major goals of telemedicine today are to develop next-generation telehealth tools and technologies to enhance healthcare delivery to medically underserved populations using telecommunication technology, to increase access to medical specialty services while decreasing healthcare costs, and to provide training of healthcare providers, clinical trainees, and students in health-related fields. Key drivers for these tools and technologies are the need and interest to collaborate among telehealth stakeholders, including patients, patient communities, research funders, researchers, healthcare services providers, professional societies, industry, healthcare management/economists, and healthcare policy makers. In the development, marketing, adoption, and implementation of these tools and technologies, communication, training, cultural sensitivity, and end-user customization are critical pieces to the process. Next-generation tools and technologies are vehicles toward personalized medicine, extending the telemedicine model to include cell phones and Internet-based telecommunications tools for remote and home health management with video assessment, remote bedside monitoring, and patient-specific care tools with event logs, patient electronic profile, and physician note-writing capability. Telehealth is ultimately a system of systems in scale and complexity. To cover the full spectrum of dynamic and evolving needs of end-users, we must appreciate system complexity as telehealth moves toward increasing functionality, integration, inter-operability, outreach, and quality of service. Toward that end, our group addressed three overarching questions: (1) What are the high-impact topics? (2) What are the barriers to progress? and (3) What roles can the National Institutes of Health and its various institutes and centers play in fostering the future development of telehealth?

AB In June 2009, the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR), National Institutes of Health (NIH), convened a conference of experts to discuss future directions for research in addressing healthcare disparities through the use of telehealth technologies. As part of this conference, a panel was convened to review the status of current efforts to assess, implement, and evaluate telehealth technologies, and to recommend future directions for research. The panel members provided a series of practical recommendations to those who are contemplating establishing a telehealth service, as well as recommendations to the NIH on future funding for telehealth research. The recommendations to the NIH focused on three broad areas of concern: (1) technology assessment, (2) evaluation, and (3) technical assistance, education, and dissemination. The panel members emphasized the need for NIH to support research in areas that have been seriously underfunded in the past, including but not limited to primary care research, multisite collaborative telehealth studies, nonphysician telehealth services, and methodological development to develop a "gold standard" for telehealth studies.

AB Telehealth applications are increasingly important in many areas of health education and training. In addition, they will play a vital role in biomedical research and research training by facilitating remote collaborations and providing access to expensive/remote instrumentation. In order to fulfill their true potential to leverage education, training, and research activities, innovations in telehealth applications should be fostered across a range of technology fronts, including online, on-demand computational models for simulation; simplified interfaces for software and hardware; software frameworks for simulations; portable telepresence systems; artificial intelligence applications to be applied when simulated human patients are not options; and the development of more simulator applications. This article presents the results of discussion on potential areas of future development, barries to overcome, and suggestions to translate the promise of telehealth applications into a transformed environment of training, education, and research in the health sciences.

AB Partnerships between patient communities, healthcare providers, and academic researchers are key to stepping up the pace and public health impact of clinical and translational research supported by the National Institutes of Health. With emphasis shifting toward community engagement and faster translation of research advances into clinical practice, academic researchers have a vital stake in widening the use of health information technology systems and telehealth networks to support collaboration and innovation. However, limited interaction between academic institutions and healthcare providers hinders the ability to form and sustain the integrated networks that are needed to conduct meaningful community-engaged research that improves public health outcomes. Healthcare providers, especially those affiliated with smaller practices, will need sustainable infrastructure and real incentives to utilize such networks, as well as training and additional resources for ongoing technical assistance.

AB Rapid advances in telehealth development and adoption are increasing the spectrum of information and communication technologies that can be applied not only to individual patient care but more broadly to population health as well. Participants in this breakout session were asked to address, from their diverse perspectives, a series of questions relating to the current and potential uses of telehealth applications and networks for public health and emergency/disaster preparedness and response systems. Participants identified several gaps in current understanding and research emphasis. There is a clear need for more and larger outcome studies to assess the impact and cost benefit of telehealth applications in terms of improving public health at the population and community levels. In addition, more research is needed to demonstrate the ability of telehealth tools and technologies to facilitate and extend the reach of major national clinical and public health research initiatives. Perhaps most importantly, the National Institutes of Health should develop and/or strengthen strategic partnerships with other funding agencies with overlapping or complementary interests to accelerate interdisciplinary research in this rapidly evolving but relatively understudied and complex field.

AB The letter is the written genre, which in the past was nearest to orality, and it was used in the eighteenth century as a very important way of communicating officially and privately. The corpus of 33 letters under study constitutes a dialogue which discusses the issues concerning the marriage of a young mulatto girl with a slave. The corpus introduces 16 subjects-speakers and listeners or readers and writers in different production formats-instantiating the voices in this story. These voices represent conflicting ideologies-social and religious-but also conflicting interests in the development of the action. The study takes the corpus as a single text and interprets the plurality of voices as polyphony in the Bakhtinian sense.

DE bisphosphonates; ONJ; CYP2C8; polymorphism
AB A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in CYP2C8 (rs1934951), was previously identified in a genome-wide association study as a risk factor for the development of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) in patients receiving bisphosphonates (BPs) for multiple myeloma. To determine if the same SNP is also associated with the development of ONJ in men receiving BPs for bone metastases from prostate cancer, we genotyped 100 men with castrate-resistant prostate cancer treated with bisphosphonates for bone metastases, 17 of whom developed ONJ. Important clinical characteristics, including type and duration of bisphosphonate therapy, were consistent among those who developed ONJ and those who did not. We found no significant correlation between the variant allele and the development of ONJ (OR = 0.63, 95% CI: 0.165-2.42, P > 0.47). This intronic SNP in CYP2C8 (rs1934951) does not seem to be a risk factor for the development of bisphosphonate-related ONJ in men with prostate cancer. It is important to note that this is only the second study to investigate the genetics associated with BP-related ONJ and the first to do so in men with prostate cancer. More studies are needed to identify genetic risk factors that may predict the development of this important clinical condition.

AB Existing pharmacological treatments for bipolar disorder (BPD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) are often insufficient for many patients. Here we describe a number of targets/compounds that clinical and preclinical studies suggest could result in putative novel treatments for mood disorders. These include: (1) glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) and protein kinase C (PKC), (2) the purinergic system, (3) histone deacetylases (HDACs), (4) the melatonergic system, (5) the tachykinin neuropeptides system, (6) the glutamatergic system, and (7) oxidative stress and bioenergetics. The paper reviews data on new compounds that have shown antimanic or antidepressant effects in subjects with mood disorders, or similar effects in preclinical animal models. Overall, an improved understanding of the neurobiological underpinnings of mood disorders is critical in order to develop targeted treatments that are more effective, act more rapidly, and are better tolerated than currently available therapies.

AB Studies in various animal models of disease and repair with thymosin beta(4) (T beta(4)), the major actin-sequestering molecule in mammalian cells, have provided the scientific foundation for the ongoing dermal, corneal, and cardiac wound repair multicenter clinical trials. T beta(4) has of multiple biological activities, which include down-regulation of inflammatory chemokines and cytokines, and promotion of cell migration, blood vessel formation, cell survival, and stem cell maturation. All of these activities contribute to the multiple wound healing properties that have been observed in animal studies. This paper reviews and discusses the topical and systemic uses of T beta(4) in various animal models that demonstrate its potential for clinical use.

AB TNF-alpha (TNF) is a pleiotropic cytokine which can have proinflammatory or immunosuppressive effects, depending on the context, duration of exposure and disease state. The basis for the opposing actions of TNF remains elusive. The growing appreciation of CD4+FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs), which comprise similar to 10% of peripheral CD4 cells, as pivotal regulators of immune responses has provided a new framework to define the cellular and molecular basis underlying the contrasting action of TNF. TNF by itself can overcome the profound anergic state of T cell receptor-stimulated Tregs. Furthermore, in concert with IL-2, TNF selectively activates Tregs, resulting in proliferation, upregulation of FoxP3 expression and increases in their suppressive activity. Both human and mouse Tregs predominantly express TNFR2, making it possible for TNF to enhance Treg activity, which helps limit the collateral damage caused by excessive immune responses and eventually terminates immune response. TNFR2-expressing CD4+FoxP3+ Tregs comprise similar to 40% of peripheral Tregs in normal mice and present the maximally suppressive subset of Tregs. In this review, studies describing the action of TNF on Treg function will be discussed. The role of Tregs in the autoimmune disorders and cancer as well as the effect of anti-TNF therapy on Tregs, especially in rheumatoid arthritis, will also be considered. Copyright (C) 2010 S.

AB Helicobacter pylori produces a vacuolating cytotoxin, VacA, and most virulent H. pylori strains secrete VacA. VacA binds to two types of receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatase (RPTP), RPTP alpha and RPTP beta, on the surface of host cells. VacA bound to RPTP beta, relocates and concentrates in lipid rafts in the plasma membrane. VacA causes vacuolization, membrane anion-selective channel and pore formation, and disruption of endosomal and lysosomal activity in host cells. Secreted VacA is processed into p33 and p55 fragments. The p55 domain not only plays a role in binding to target cells but also in the formation of oligomeric structures and anionic membrane channels. Oral administration of VacA to wild-type mice, but not to RPTP beta knockout mice, resulted in gastric ulcers, in agreement with the clinical effect of VacA. VacA with s1/m1 allele has more potent cytotoxic activity in relation to peptic ulcer disease and appears to be associated with human gastric cancer. VacA activates pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins, and induces apoptosis via a mitochondria-dependent pathway. VacA can disrupt other signal transduction pathways; VacA activates p38 MAPK, enhancing production of IL-8 and PGE(2), and PI3K/Akt, suppressing GSK-3 beta activity. VacA has immunomodulatory actions on T cells and other immune cells, possibly contributing to the chronic infection seen with this organism. H. pylori virulence factors including VacA and CagA, which is encoded by cytotoxin-associated gene A, along with host genetic and environmental factors, constitute a complex network to regulate chronic gastric injury and inflammation, which is involved in a multistep process leading to gastric carcinogenesis.

AB Cross-species genomic analyses have proven useful for identifying common genomic alterations that occur in human cancers and mouse models designed to recapitulate human tumor development. High-throughput molecular analyses provide a valuable tool for identifying particular animal models that may represent aspects of specific subtypes of human cancers. Corresponding alterations in gene copy number and expression in tumors from mouse and human suggest that these conserved changes may be mechanistically essential for cancer development and progression, and there-fore they may be critical targets for therapeutic intervention. Using a cross-species analysis approach, mouse models in which the functions of p53, Rb, and BRCA1 have been disrupted demonstrate molecular features of human, triple-negative (ER-, PR-, and ERBB2-), basal-type breast cancer. Using mouse tumor models based on the targeted abrogation of p53 and Rb function, we identified a large, integrated genetic network that correlates to poor outcome in several human epithelial cancers. This gene signature is highly enriched for genes involved in DNA replication and repair, chromosome maintenance, cell cycle regulation, and apoptosis. Current studies are determining whether inactivation of specific members within this signature, using drug or siRNA, will identify potentially important new targets to inhibit triple-negative, basal-type breast cancer for which no targeted therapies currently exist.

AB Neurofibomatosis (NF1) patients arc susceptible to. multiple tumors of the nervous system including neurofibromas. optic glioma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors(MPNSTs), and astrocytoma. The Nf1+/-; Trp53+/- (NPcis) mouse model of NF1 spontaneously develops astrocytoma and MPNSTs that Eire very similar to human NF1 tumors. To use this model for. testing potential therapeutics, we have developed systems that take advantage of bioluminescent reporters of tumor growth. We have generated E2F1 promoter-driven luciferase (ELUX) reporter mice to detect proliferating tumors in NPcis mice in vivo using bioluminescence. The power of this system is that it enables looking at tumor evolution and detecting spontaneous tumors at early stages of development as they evolve within their natural haploinsufficient microenvironment. This system can be used to identify tumors at different stages of tumorigenesis Mid to examine where spontaneous NF1 tumors initiate. The ability to rapidly screen multiple animals at a time increases the potential for use of this model in preclinical trials. This model will be valuable for the characterization of spontaneous NF1 tumors and will be important for studying the treatment and prevention of NF1 tumors in vivo.

ID GASTROINTESTINAL STROMAL TUMORS; CELLS; MICE
AB Immunohistochemistry (IHC) has been somewhat underutilized in the practice of toxicological pathology but can be a valuable tool for the evaluation of rodent neoplasma, both in a diagnostic and an investigational role. Determining an exact tumor type using standard hematoxylin and cosin (H&E) staining for formalin-fixed tissues can be challenging, especially with metastatic and/or poorly differentiated tumors. Successful IHC is dependent on many factors, including species and tissue type, type, type and duration of fixation, quality fresh or frozen sectioning, and antibody specificity. The initial approach of most tumor diagnosis IHC applications is distinguishing epithelial from mesenechymal differentiation using vimentin and cytokeration markers, although false-negative and/or false-positive results may occur. Experimentally, IHC can be employed to investigate the earliest changes in transformed tissue, identifying cellular changes not normally visible with H&E. Individual markers for proliferation, apoptosis, and specific tumor proteins can be used to help distinguish hyperplasia from neoplasia and determine specific tumor origin-type. IHC provides a relatively rapid and simple method to better determine the origin of neoplastic tissue or investigate the behavior or progression of a given neoplasm. Several experimental and diagnostic examples will be presented to illustrate the utility of IHC as a supplement to standard staining techniques.

AB Based on recommendations of participants at the National Toxicology Program (NTP) workshop "Animal Models for the NTP Cancer Bioassay: Strains and Stocks-Should We Switch?" some modifications to the NTP rodent cancer bioassay were made. The B6C3F1 remains the mouse model Used in the cancer bioassay. The use of multiple strains of mice will be explored through a new branch within the NTP. the Host Susceptibility Branch. Several rat models were evaluated; the Harlan Sprague Dawley rat is currently being used in the NTP studies.

AB Cancers of the stomach and large intestine (LI) are the second and fourth leading causes of human cancer mortality. A review of the National Toxicology Program (NTP) database and the Carcinogenic Potency Database (CPDB) reveals that chemically induced neoplasma of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) are relatively common. Within the GIT, epithelial tumors of the forestomach in mice and rats and LI of the rat are most common. Generally, there is a high species concordance for forestomach with at least 26 chemicals inducing tumors in both species. Glandular stomach tumors are rare, and the few reported are usually neuroendocrine tumors (carcinoids) originating from the enterochromaffin-life (ECL) cells. Of 290 carcinogenic agents identified by the NTP, 19 (7%) caused intestinal neoplasia, 14 in the rat and 5 in the mouse. Neoplasms occurred in both males and females, exclusively in the small intestine (SI) of the mouse and in the LI or both SI and LI in the rat. Enteric carcinogens (NTP) frequently induced neoplasms at other alimentary sites (oral cavity, esophagus, and stomach). In conclusion, the most common induced GIT tumors are squamous neoplasms of the forestomach, glandular neoplasms of the stomach are rare, and rats appear more prone to developing LI (colorectal) cancer compared to mice.

AB Assessing the risk profiles of potentially sensitive populations requires a "tool chest" of methodological approaches to adequately characterize and evaluate these populations. At present, there is an extensive body of literature on methodologies that apply to the evaluation of the pediatric population. The Health and Environmental Sciences Institute Subcommittee on Risk Assessment of Sensitive Populations evaluated key references in the area of pediatric risk to identify a spectrum of methodological approaches. These approaches are considered in this article for their potential to be extrapolated for the identification and assessment of other sensitive populations. Recommendations as to future research needs and/or alternate methodological considerations are also made.

AB Ligand activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-beta/delta and inhibition of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) activity by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can attenuate skin tumorigenesis. There is also evidence that attenuation of skin tumorigenesis by inhibition of COX-2 activity occurs through PPAR beta/delta-independent mechanisms. The present study examined the hypothesis that combining ligand activation of PPAR beta/delta with inhibition of COX-2 activity will cooperatively inhibit chemically induced skin tumor progression using both in vivo and ex vivo models. A two-stage chemical carcinogenesis bioassay was performed in wild-type and Ppar beta/delta-null mice. After 22 weeks, cohorts of both mouse lines were divided into four experimental groups: (1) control, (2) topical application of the PPAR beta/delta ligand GW0742, (3) dietary administration of the COX-2 inhibitor nimesulide, or (4) both GW0742 and nimesulide. Ligand activation of PPAR beta/delta did not influence skin tumor progression, while a modest decrease in skin tumor multiplicity was observed with dietary nimesulide. Interestingly, the combined treatment of GW0742 and nimesulide increased the efficacy of the decrease in papilloma multiplicity for 6 weeks in wild-type mice, but this effect was not found at later time points and was not found in similarly treated Ppar beta/delta-null mice. Neoplastic keratinocyte lines cultured with GW0742 and nimesulide also exhibited enhanced inhibition of cell proliferation coincident with increased expression of Keratin messenger RNAs. Results from these studies support the hypothesis that combining ligand activation of PPAR beta/delta with inhibition of COX-2 activity can inhibit chemically induced skin tumor progression by modulating differentiation.

AB The water-soluble nanoparticle hydroxylated fullerene [fullerol, nano-C(60)(OH)(22-26)] has several applications including use as a drug carrier to bypass the blood ocular barriers. We have previously found that fullerol is both cytotoxic and phototoxic to human lens epithelial cells (HLE B-3) and that the endogenous antioxidant lutein blocked some of this phototoxicity. In the present study we have found that fullerol induces cytotoxic and phototoxic damage to human retinal pigment epithelial cells. Accumulation of nano-C(60)(OH)(22-26) in the cells was confirmed spectrophotometrically at 405 nm, and cell viability, cell metabolism and membrane permeability were estimated using trypan blue, MTS and LDH assays, respectively. Fullerol was cytotoxic toward hRPE cells maintained in the dark at concentrations higher than 10 mu M. Exposure to an 8.5 J. cm(-2) dose of visible light in the presence of >5 mu M fullerol induced TBARS formation and early apoptosis, indicating phototoxic damage in the form of lipid peroxidation. Pretreatment with 10 and 20 M lutein offered some protection against fullerol photodamage. Using time resolved photophysical techniques, we have now confirmed that fullerol produces singlet oxygen with a quantum yield of Phi=0.05 in D(2)O and with a range of 0.002-0.439 in various solvents. As our previous studies have shown that fullerol also produces superoxide in the presence of light, retinal phototoxic damage may occur through both type I (free radical) and type II (singlet oxygen) mechanisms. In conclusion, ocular exposure to fullerol, particularly in the presence of sunlight, may lead to retinal damage. (C) Published by Elsevier Inc.

AB The activity of transcription factors is often regulated by Post-translational modifications. A precondition for such modifications is the presence, in the corresponding mRNAs, of the exons that either directly encode the modifiable residues in question, or encode protein domains that influence their modification indirectly. The inclusion or exclusion of coding exons is regulated predominantly by alternative splicing but can also depend on promoter choice and polyadenylation site selection. Information about exon inclusion and exclusion, both qualitatively and quantitatively, is particularly important for experiments designed to mutate endogenous codons because such mutations can alter splicing patterns. Therefore, we here describe methods employed to quantitate exon inclusion and exclusion, using as example a mouse transcription factor gene, Mitf.

AB BACKGROUND:
A single cost-effective pathogen inactivation approach would help to improve the safety of our nation's blood supply. Several methods and technologies are currently being studied to help reduce bacterial contamination of blood components. There is clearly need for simple and easy-to-use pathogen inactivation techniques specific to plasma, platelets (PLTs), and red blood cells.
STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS:
In this report, we introduce a novel proof of concept: using known therapeutic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) as bactericidal agents for room temperature-stored PLT concentrates (PCs). Nine synthetic AMPs, four from PLT microbicidal protein-derived peptides (PD1-4) and five Arg-Trp (RW) repeat peptides containing one to five repeats, were tested for bactericidal activity in plasma and PC samples spiked with Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Bacillus cereus. A 3-log reduction of viable bacteria was considered as the bactericidal activity of a given peptide.
RESULTS:
In both plasma alone and PCs, RW3 peptide demonstrated bactericidal activity against S. aureus, S. epidermidis, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and K. pneumoniae; PD4 and RW2 against P. aeruginosa; and RW4 against K. pneumoniae. The activity of each of these four peptides against the remaining bacterial species in the test panel resulted in less than a 3-log reduction in the number of viable bacteria and hence considered ineffective.
CONCLUSIONS:
These findings suggest a new approach to improving the safety of blood components, demonstrating the potential usefulness of screening therapeutic AMPs against selected bacteria to identify suitable bactericidal agents for stored plasma, PCs, and other blood products.

AB Object vision in human and nonhuman primates is often cited as a primary example of adult plasticity in neural information processing. It has been hypothesized that visual experience leads to single neurons in the monkey brain with strong selectivity for complex objects, and to regions in the human brain with a preference for particular categories of highly familiar objects. This view suggests that adult visual experience causes dramatic local changes in the response properties of high-level visual cortex. Here, we review the current neurophysiological and neuroimaging evidence and find that the available data support a different conclusion: adult visual experience introduces moderate, relatively distributed effects that modulate a pre-existing, rich and flexible set of neural object representations.

AB Nuclear receptors are involved in a myriad of physiological processes, responding to ligands and binding to DNA at sequence-specific cis-regulatory elements. This binding occurs in the context of chromatin, a critical factor in regulating eukaryotic transcription. Recent high-throughput assays have examined nuclear receptor action genome-wide, advancing our understanding of receptor binding to regulatory elements. Here, we discuss current knowledge of genome-wide response element occupancy by receptors and the function of transcription factor networks in regulating nuclear receptor action. We highlight emerging roles for the epigenome, chromatin remodeling, histone modification, histone variants and long-range chromosomal interactions in nuclear receptor binding and receptor-dependent gene regulation. These mechanisms contribute importantly to the action of nuclear receptors in health and disease.

AB Metagenomic analysis of viruses suggests novel patterns of evolution, changes the existing ideas of the composition of the virus world and reveals novel groups of viruses and virus-like agents. The gene composition of the marine DNA virome is dramatically different from that of known bacteriophages. The virome is dominated by rare genes, many of which might be contained within virus-like entities such as gene transfer agents. Analysis of marine metagenomes thought to consist mostly of bacterial genes revealed a variety of sequences homologous to conserved genes of eukaryotic nucleocytoplasmic large DNA viruses, resulting in the discovery of diverse members of previously undersampled groups and suggesting the existence of new classes of virus-like agents. Unexpectedly, metagenomics of marine RNA viruses showed that representatives of only one superfamily of eukaryotic viruses, the picorna-like viruses, dominate the RNA virome.

AB There is current interest in identifying drugs that facilitate fear extinction, as this form of learning is the basis of certain cognitive therapies for anxiety disorders. Following an initial report several years ago that the alpha 2-adrenoreceptor antagonist yohimbine facilitated extinction in mice, more recent studies have shown mixed effects or even impairment. It has become clear that the effect of yohimbine on extinction depends on a number of factors, including genetic background, contextual variables and the presence of competing behaviors. To what extent theses effects of yohimbine are mediated through the alpha 2-adrenoreceptor, as opposed to other sites of action, is also uncertain. More work is needed before this drug can be approved as a pharmacological adjunct for extinction-based therapies. More generally, the case of yohimbine may serve as a model for the development of other extinction facilitators.

AB Solid tumors often present regions of decreased oxygen levels (hypoxia) due to an imbalance between increased oxygen consumption and insufficient oxygen delivery from the aberrant tumor vasculature. Intratumor hypoxia is associated with altered cellular metabolism, an invasive and metastatic phenotype, as well as resistance to radiation and chemotherapy. The discovery of Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1 (HIF-1), a transcription factor critically involved in cellular responses to hypoxia and tumor progression, has provided evidence of a potential molecular target of intratumor hypoxia that could be exploited for the development of novel cancer therapeutics. A growing number of small molecule inhibitors of HIF-1, which act by distinct molecular mechanisms, have been described so far. However, HIF-1 expression in human cancers is focal and heterogeneous, consistent with the possibility that single agent HIF-1 inhibitors may have limited clinical activity. It is then plausible that combination strategies aimed at maximizing the clinical potential of HIF-1 inhibition may be more effective.
We will discuss current approaches used for targeting HIF-1, emphasizing in particular opportunities for rationally designed combination strategies aimed at exploiting vulnerable features of the tumor microenvironment.

AB Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a multifunctional regulatory polypeptide that is the prototypical member of a large family of cytokines that controls many aspects of cellular function, including cellular proliferation, differentiation, migration, apoptosis, adhesion, angiogenesis, immune surveillance, and survival. Contrary to the initial concept that these proteins may be down-regulated in cancer cells to promote their growth, a marked increase in the expression of TGF-beta has often been found in human cancers in vivo, including cancer of the lung. Moreover, in lung cancer, increased expression of TGF-beta correlates with more advanced stages of malignancy and metastasis and with decreased survival. Increased expression of TGF-beta is usually accompanied by a loss in the growth inhibitory response to TGF-beta. Indeed, some lung cancer cells in culture demonstrate a progressive loss of the growth inhibitory response to TGF-beta that varies directly with the malignant stage of the original tumor. The study of the molecular events associated with the escape of cancer cells from growth regulation by TGF-beta has provided insight into mechanisms underlying carcinogenesis. Specific defects in TGF-beta receptors, TGF-beta-related signal transduction/gene activation, and TGF-beta-regulated cell cycle proteins, have been implicated in the oncogenesis of human lung cancer and metastasis. This review provides background information on TGF-beta and updates the status of our knowledge of the role of TGF-beta in lung cancer, carcinogenesis, and metastasis.

AB Exosomes represent an important and readily isolated subset of the urinary proteome that has the potential to shed much insight on the health status of the kidney. Each segment of the nephron sheds exosomes into the urine. Exosomes are rich in potential biomarkers, especially membrane proteins such as transporters and receptors that may be up- or downregulated during disease states. Two differential centrifugation methods are available for simple purification of exosomes: one uses ultracentrifugation, and the other uses a nanomembrane concentrator. Validation methods include western blots of pan-exosome markers and segment-specific exosome markers, and negative staining electron microscopy.

AB OBJECTIVES To investigate the relationship between the severity of urine leakage and quality of life (QOL) in men and women of different race/ethnicity.
METHODS An epidemiologic survey was conducted with a population-based random sample of 3202 women and 2301 men (1767 black, 1877 Hispanic, 1859 white) aged 30-79 years in Boston, MA. Severity of leakage was based on frequency and amount by the Sandvik Severity Scale. QOL was measured with physical and mental component summaries of Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-12. Covariates included race/ethnicity, age, socioeconomic status, urinary incontinence risk factors, and comorbidities. Analysis included multivariate linear regression modeling by gender.
RESULTS Urine leakage, most of which was mild or moderate, was reported in 30% of women and 18% of men. Women (5.1%) were more likely than men (0.9%) to report severe leakage. In multivariate analysis, as severity of leakage increased, both components of QOL declined, with decreases in scores of 7-8 points for men (P <=.001 for each) and 4-6 points (P <.05 and P = .001, respectively) for women. Severe leakage was associated with a greater decline in QOL than that observed for most other comorbidities considered. The effect of urine leakage on QOL was similar among racial and ethnic groups.
CONCLUSIONS Urine leakage impairs QOL for both men and women, with no evidence of different effects by racial/ethnic group. Leakage has clinically significant effects on physical health-related QOL for men and on mental health QOL for both men and women. UROLOGY 75: 27-33, 2010. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc.

AB The varicella-zoster virus (VZV) genome contains at least 70 genes, and all but six have homologs in herpes simplex virus (HSV). Cosmids and BACs corresponding to the VZV parental Oka and vaccine Oka viruses have been used to "knockout" 34 VZV genes. Seven VZV genes (ORF4, 5, 9, 21, 29,62, and 68) have been shown to be required for growth in vitro. Recombinant viruses expressing several markers (e.g., beta-galactosidase, green fluorescence protein, luciferase) and several foreign viral genes (from herpes simplex, Epstein Barr virus, hepatitis B, mumps, HIV, and simian immunodeficiency virus) have been constructed. Further studies of the VZV genome, using recombinant viruses, may facilitate the development of safer and more effective VZV vaccines. Furthermore, VZV might be useful as a vaccine vector to immunize against both VZV and other viruses.

AB Inoculation of rodents with varicella-zoster virus (VZV) results in a latent infection in dorsal root ganglia with expression of at least five of the six VZV transcripts and one of the viral proteins that are reported to be expressed during latency in human ganglia. Rats develop allodynia and hyperalgesia in the limb distal to the site of injection and the resulting exaggerated withdrawal response to stimuli is reduced by treatment with gabapentin and amitryptyline, but not by antiviral therapy. Inoculation of rats with VZV mutants show that most viral genes are dispensable for latency, but that some genes (e.g., ORF4, 29, and ORF63) that are expressed during latency are important for the establishment of latency in rodents, but not for infection of rodent ganglia. The rodent model for VZV latency allows one to study ganglia removed immediately after death, avoiding the possibility of reactivation, and helps to identify VZV genes required for latency.

AB A 9-month-old p53-null female mouse was found dead in its cage. At necropsy, a large thymic mass encompassed the heart. Microscopically, the mass was composed of numerous varying-sized cysts lined with simple squamous epithelial cells to columnar ciliated cells. Also present within this mass was a large aggregate of loosely arranged fusiform-shaped cells. These cells also were found in smaller numbers in the connective tissue surrounding the cysts. The larger aggregate of fusiform cells was positive for desmin and S-100 and negative for smooth muscle actin. Electron microscopy revealed well-formed Z lines and I bands of skeletal muscle phenotype. A diagnosis of rhabdomyoma within a congenital multilocular thymic cyst was made. The thymus contains a small population of myoid cells, which should be taken in consideration when evaluating thymic tumors.

AB Virulence and antibiotic resistance of the dangerous human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus are to large extent determined by the acquisition of mobile genetic elements (MGEs). Up to now, these elements were known to comprise either resistance or virulence determinants, but not a mixture of the two. Queck et al. now found a cytolysin gene of the phenol-soluble modulin (PSM) family within SCCmec elements, which contain methicillin resistance genes and are largely responsible for the spread of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). The novel gene, called psm-mec, had a significant impact on virulence in MRSA strains that do not produce high levels of genome-encoded PSMs. This first example of a combination of toxin and resistance genes on one staphylococcal MGE shows that such bundling is possible and may lead to an even faster acquisition of toxin and resistance genes by S. aureus and other staphylococcal pathogens.

AB Linkage analysis, that is the observation of cosegregation of adjacent,genetic markers or traits, is the principal means of constructing genetic maps, and locating genes that cause disease, or genetic traits. Although these methods have been partially supplanted by newer methods such as whole genorne sequencing, linkage analysis still has considerable utility. The history of the method and the mathematical basis of linkage analysis are presented as well as specific applications to human genetics. Gene clusters consist of groups of adjacent genes that exist largely though mechanisms of gene duplication. In addition there exist Clusters of genes that have related function, the best studied of which is the Major Histocompatibility Complex. The structure and evolutionary history of these clusters provides insight into the history of mammalian genomes.

AB In this chapter, we describe both the historical and contemporary teminologies that reflect the evolving field of genetic epidemiology. We discuss the conduct of family-based studies to identify high-penetrance disease genes, along with traditional genetic analyses of human pedigrees to assess Mendelian transmission (segregation analysis) or to locate causal genes (linkage analysis/gene mapping). We also describe epidemiologic approaches used to study gene-disease associations (including genome-wide association studies) plus gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. We review analytic and methodologic issues applicable to each of these studies and emerging, nontraditional epidemiologic methods that can be used as all adjunct to traditional approaches, particularly for the simultaneous study of hundreds of thousands of data points per person. We further discuss the challenging nature of analysis, synthesis, and dissemination of these genetic data, and the value of systematic reviews, meta-analyses and consortia in evaluating large bodies of scientific evidence. Finally, we describe the need for follow-up of these results to identify causal variants and the need for translational research efforts to apply these gene discoveries to personalized medicine, such as evaluation of genetic testing in clinical practice (in terms of analytic validity, clinical validity, clinical utility), and to population health including determining the disease risk and burden in populations (e.g., absolute and attributable risks). We also consider the ethical, legal, and social implications of these discoveries.

AB Addictions are common, complex disorders that are to some extent tied together by shared genetic and environmental etiological factors. They are frequently chronic, with a relapsing/remitting course. Addictive disorders, which are in part volitional, in part inborn, and in part determined by environmental experiences, pose the full range of medical, genetic, policy, and moral challenges. Genetic factors account for 40-70% of the variance in addiction liability. There is little evidence for large influences on overall population vulnerability from any single gene. Instead, multiple genetic loci are likely to be involved, each with a small attributable risk. Gene discovery is being facilitated by a variety of powerful approaches and tools, but is in its infancy Susceptibility loci for addictions include both drug-specific genes (e.g., alcohol-metabolizing genes) and loci moderating neuronal pathways, such as reward, behavioral control, and stress resiliency, that are involved in several psychiatric diseases (e.g., MAOA and COMT). In recent years, major progress has been made in identification of genes using intermediate phenotypes such as task-related brain activation that confer the opportunity of exploring the neuronal mechanisms through which genetic variation is translated into behavior. Fundamental to the detection of gene effects are also the understanding of the interplay between genes and of genes/environment interactions. The identification of genes altering the liability to addiction and treatment response (e.g., OPRMI) could provide new therapeutic targets and an ability to individualize treatment. Although the genetic bases of addiction remain largely unknown, there are reasons to think that more genes will be

AB With constant advances in canine genomics, the dog has found a permanent position as a Source of genetic information for the inheritance of morphologic traits and disease susceptibility. The modern domestic dog is not a typical model organism. They share our environment, our life-styles and often our food. In addition, they experience many of the same diseases that people do and are diagnosed and treated using the same medical procedures and pharmaceuticals. However, unlike humans, the purebred dog maintains a highly structured population organization that, if used correctly, can simplify the genetics of complex traits and disorders. In this chapter, we will discuss the history of canine genomics along with recent advances in resource development. Specific examples will be provided to demonstrate strategies for using population stratification to the best advantage in mapping traits both simple and complex. Together, these data highlight the utility of the canine system for mapping traits and finding mutations important in both human and companion animal science.

AB Therapeutic red blood cell (RBC) transfusion is widely utilized in the management of anaemia. Critically ill intensive care unit (ICU) patients in particular, as well as medical and haematology-oncology patients, are among the largest groups of users of RBC products. While anaemia is common in these patients, its treatment and management, including appropriate thresholds for RBC transfusion, remain controversial. We review here the function of RBCs in oxygen transport and physiology, with a view to their role in supporting and maintaining systemic tissue oxygenation. Adaptive and physiological compensatory mechanisms in the setting of anaemia are discussed, along with the limits of compensation. Finally, data from clinical studies will be examined in search of evidence for, or against, a clinically relevant transfusion trigger.

AB We present results on the dynamic fluorescence properties of bioconjugated nanocrystals or quantum dots (QDs) in different chemical and physical environments. A variety of QD samples was prepared and compared: isolated individual QDs, QD aggregates, and QDs conjugated to other nanoscale materials, such as single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and human erythrocyte plasma membrane proteins. We discuss plausible scenarios to explain the results obtained for the fluorescence characteristics of QDs in these samples, especially for the excitation time-dependent fluorescence emission from clustered QDs. We also qualitatively demonstrate enhanced fluorescence emission signals from clustered QDs and deduce that the band 3 membrane proteins in erythrocytes are clustered. This approach is promising for the development of QD-based quantitative molecular imaging techniques for biomedical studies involving biomolecule clustering. (C) 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

AB Decreased toxicity via selective delivery of cancer therapeutics to tumors has become a hallmark achievement of nanotechnology. In order to be optimally efficacious, a systemically administered nanomedicine must reach cancer cells in sufficient quantities to elicit a response and assume its active form within the tumor microenvironment (e.g., be taken up by cancer cells and release a toxic component once within the cytosol or nuclei). Most nanomedicines achieve selective tumor accumulation via the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect or a combination of the EPR effect and active targeting to cellular receptors. Here, we review how the fundamental physicochemical properties of a nanomedicine (its size, charge, hydrophobicity, etc.) can dramatically affect its distribution to cancerous tissue, transport across vascular walls, and retention in tumors. We also discuss how nanoparticle characteristics such as stability in the blood and tumor, cleavability of covalently bound components, cancer cell uptake, and cytotoxicity contribute to efficacy once the nanoparticle has reached the tumor's interstitial space. We elaborate on how tumor vascularization and receptor expression vary depending on cancer type, stage of disease, site of implantation, and host species, and review studies which have demonstrated that these variations affect tumor response to nanomedicines. Finally, we show how knowledge of these properties (both of the nanoparticle and the cancer/tumor under study) can be used to design meaningful in vivo tests to evaluate nanoparticle efficacy.

AB Wound biopsies are an essential diagnostic component in the management of chronic wounds. First, the possibility of malignancy or infection in the wound often requires sampling of the wound edge and its bed. Secondly, several practice guidelines recommend biopsying wounds that have not responded to treatment after 2-6 weeks. However, there has always been a concern that the biopsy may worsen the wound and delay overall healing. In this report, we investigated the safety and effects of wound biopsies on overall chronic wound healing rates (advance of the wound edge per week toward the center) before and after the biopsy was performed. In a cohort of 14 consecutive patients with chronic wounds of the lower extremity, we found that postbiopsy chronic wound healing rates (0.99 +/- 1.18 mm/week; mean +/- SD) were not decreased and were actually higher than prebiopsy chronic wound healing rates (0.49 +/- 0.85 mm/week; mean +/- SD, p < 0.05). In addition, we documented that healing of the biopsy sites up to the original wound edge occurred within 6 weeks in 11 of the 14 subjects. Therefore, we conclude that chronic wounds do not worsen after being biopsied and that wound biopsies are a safe procedure that does not delay overall healing of the chronic wound.

AB Raman spectroscopy offers a label-free, chemically specific, method of detecting molecules; however, the low cross-section attendant to this scattering process has hampered trace detection. The realization that scattering is enhanced at a metallic surface has enabled new techniques for spectroscopic and imaging analysis.(1-3)

AB B cells represent an important link between the adaptive and innate immune systems as they express both antigen-specific B-cell receptors (BCRs) as well as various Toll-like receptors (TLRs). Several checkpoints in B-cell development ensure that self-specific cells are eliminated from the mature B-cell repertoire to avoid harmful autoreactive responses. These checkpoints are controlled by BCR-mediated events but are also influenced by TLR-dependent signals from the innate immune system. Additionally, B-cell-intrinsic and extrinsic TLR signaling are critical for inflammatory events required for the clearance of microbial infections. Factors secreted by TLR-activated macrophages or dendritic cells directly influence the fate of protective and autoreactive B cells. Additionally, naive and memory B cells respond differentially to TLR ligands, as do different B-cell subsets. We review here recent literature describing intrinsic and extrinsic effects of TLR stimulation on the fate of B cells, with particular attention to autoimmune diseases.

Here we discuss important recent discoveries pertaining to T helper cell differentiation, lineage commitment, and function. Within this context, we examine existing T cell-directed therapies, including new agents being evaluated in clinical and preclinical studies. We also use recent findings to speculate on novel targets.

AB Autoreactive effector CD4(+) T cells have been associated with the pathogenesis of autoimmune disorders. Early studies implicated the interferon (IFN)-gamma-producing T helper (Th)1 subset of CD4(+) cells as the causal agents in the pathogenesis of autoimmunity. However, further studies have suggested a more complex story. In models thought to be driven by Th1 cells, mice lacking the hallmark Th1 cytokine IFN-gamma were not protected but tended to have enhanced susceptibility to disease. Identification of the IL-17-producing CD4(+) effector cell lineage (Th17) has helped shed light on this issue. Th17 effector cells are induced in parallel to Th1, and, like Th1, polarized Th17 cells have the capacity to cause inflammation and autoimmune disease. This, together with the finding that deficiency of the Th17-related cytokine IL-23 but not the Th I-related cytokine IL-12 causes resistance, led to the notion that Th17 cells are the chief contributors to autoimmune tissue inflammation. Nevertheless, mice lacking IL-17 are not protected from disease and display elevated numbers of IFN-gamma-producing CD4(+) T cells, and, in some cases, lack of IFN-gamma does confer resistance. Recent studies report overlapping as well as differential roles of these cells in tissue inflammation, which suggests the existence of a more complex relationship between these two effector T-cell Subsets than has hitherto been suspected. This review will attempt to bring together current information regarding interaction, balance, and collaborative potential between the Th1 and Th17 effector lineages.

AB Understanding on the mechanisms of vascular branching morphogenesis has become a subject of enormous scientific and clinical interest. Zebrafish, which have small, accessible, transparent embryos and larvae, provides a unique living animal model to facilitating high-resolution imaging on ubiquitous and deep localization of vessels within embryo development and also in adult tissues. In this chapter, we have summarized various methods for vessel imaging in zebrafish, including in situ hybridization for vascular-specific genes, resin injection- or dye injection-based vessel visualization, and alkaline phosphatase staining. We also described detail protocols for live imaging of vessels by microangiography or using various transgenic zebrafish lines.
