No Observed Adverse Effects: Developing Neurons, Organophosphate Insecticides, And The 1996 Food Quality Protection Act, Brendan R. Jackson

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Physicians are familiar with organophosphates (OPs) as a classic, though obscure, cause of cholinergic poisoning. Many opportunities for human exposure existsixty million pounds of OPs are applied as insecticides to sixty million acres of U.S. land each year, and, until recently, over one-fifth of Americans used these chemicals in their homes. Most physicians, however, still know little about the dangers that these pesticides pose to the developing nervous system. By the late 1980s, toxicologists increasingly recognized that toxicants such as lead and mercury, even at doses well-below the level required to cause symptomatic poisoning, could induce subtle, yet permanent, neurological …

Ozone Exposure In A Mouse Model Induces Airway Hyperreactivity That Requires The Presence Of Natural Killer T Cells And Il-17, Paul B. Savage, Muriel Pichavant, Sho Goya, Everett H. Meyer, Richard A. Johnston, Hye Y. Kim, Ponpan Matangkasombut, Ming Zhu, Yoichiro Iwakura, Rosemarie H. Dekruyff, Stephanie A. Shore, Dale T. Umetsu

Exposure to ozone, which is a major component of air pollution, induces a form of asthma that occurs in the absence of adaptive immunity. Although ozone-induced asthma is characterized by airway neutrophilia, and not eosinophilia, it is nevertheless associated with airway hyperreactivity (AHR), which is a cardinal feature of asthma. Because AHR induced by allergens requires the presence of natural killer T (NKT) cells, we asked whether ozone-induced AHR had similar requirements. We found that repeated exposure of wild-type (WT) mice to ozone induced severe AHR associated with an increase in airway NKT cells, neutrophils, and macrophages. Surprisingly, NKT cell-deficient …

Novel Role Of Antioxidant-1 (Atox1) As A Copper-Dependent Transcription Factor Involved In Cell Proliferation, S. Itoh, H. W. Kim, O. Nakagawa, K. Ozumi, Susan M. Lessner, H. Aoki, K. Akram, R. D. Mckinney, M. Ushio-Fukai, T. Fukai

Faculty Publications

Copper plays a fundamental role in regulating cell growth. Many types of human cancer tissues have higher copper levels than normal tissues. Copper can also induce gene expression. However, transcription factors that mediate copper-induced cell proliferation have not been identified in mammals. Here we show that antioxidant-1 (Atox1), previously appreciated as a copper chaperone, represents a novel copper-dependent transcription factor that mediates copper-induced cell proliferation. Stimulation of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) with copper markedly increased cell proliferation, cyclin D1 expression, and entry into S phase, which were completely abolished in Atox1^-/- MEFs. Promoter analysis and EMSA revealed that copper …

Do People Really Want To Help Others? A Look At The Human Nature Of Service, Emily Tran

Reason and Respect

Humans are not inclined to serve others unless it benefits them. We are a product of evolution and a part of the animal kingdom. Do people really need to help others? As with any philosophical question, it possesses no real answer and leads to a long line of questions that follow. We can only keep asking ourselves these questions while we continue to learn.

Doing What You Love Makes Service Official, Shannon Riccio

Reason and Respect

When a person performs service, he or she gains much more than money. Service is in no way selfless. While performing service, a person can connect with all kinds of people and create lasting friendships and memories. Service gives people an opportunity to do things they love.

Eat Smart. Play HardTm San Luis Obispo: A Nutrition And Fitness Pilot Program For Young Children And Their Adult Buddies, Shirley S. Peterson, Dana E. Gerstein, Krista Mugford, Rachael Willey, Jenny Davis, Lisa M. Nicholson, Patricia B. Crawford

Food Science and Nutrition

Eat Smart. Play Hard™. San Luis Obispo!, a multi-component primary prevention program targeting low-income, Hispanic children 6-8 years, focuses on promoting healthy dietary and physical activity behaviors using an innovative child-adult buddy system approach. The child-adult buddies participate in multiple activities to increase their consumption of fruits and vegetables, and level of physical activity and decrease their consumption of sweetened beverages. The results of the pilot program show high program satisfaction and improvements in dietary and physical activity behaviors. Such programs provide an opportunity to establish and promote healthy behaviors among young children and ultimately prevent overweight development.

An Artificial Latrine Log For Swamp Rabbit Studies, Eric M. Schauber, Paul D. Scharine, Clayton K. Nielsen, Lyann Rubert

Publications

Managers use latrine surveys to monitor swamp rabbit (Sylvilagus aquaticus) populations but may miss rabbits in sites lacking suitable latrine logs. We tested artificial latrine logs in logless thickets in southern Illinois, USA, generally detecting swamp rabbits in fewer visits than by live-trapping. Artificial logs can aid swamp rabbit monitoring, especially in logless habitats.

Transcendental Wordplay, A. Ross Eckler

Word Ways

The title of this book by Michael West, an English professor at the University of Pittsburgh, suggested that it might be of interest to Word Ways readers. This was confirmed by a letter from the author, who asserted that "[the book] has much to say about the historical background of many varieties of language play in which your journal specializes. When the book received the 2001 Phi Beta Kappa book award, the publicity release noted that "West ... tries to determine where and how Thoreau, Emerson, Whitman, Dickinson, Melville and others got their proclivity for extravagant puns, riddles, acrostics, anagrams …

Heat-Shock Protein 90 Associates With N-Terminal Extended Peptides And Is Required For Direct And Indirect Antigen Presentation, Margaret K. Callahan, Manish Garg, Pramod K. Srivastava

UCHC Articles - Research

CD8⁺ T cells recognize peptide fragments of endogenously synthesized antigens of cancers or viruses, presented by MHC I molecules. Such antigen presentation requires the generation of peptides in the cytosol, their passage to the endoplasmic reticulum, loading of MHC I with peptides, and transport of MHC I–peptide complexes to the cell surface. Heat-shock protein (hsp) 90 is a cytosolic chaperone known to associate with peptide and peptide precursors of MHC I epitopes. We report here that treatment of cells with hsp90 inhibitors leads to generation of “empty” MHC I caused by inhibited loading of MHC I with peptides. Inhibition …

Formulating Mineral Supplements For Beef Cows, Cody Wright

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Mineral nutrition of beef cattle is one component of ruminant nutrition that most producers address by simply purchasing a commercial supplement for their herd. However, this practice, while generally effective, can be wasteful. In many cases, commercial mineral supplements are formulated to provide in excess of 100% of the nutrient requirements for many different minerals. However, at least a portion of the minerals required by beef cows are provided by the feeds the cows are consuming. The formulation of supplements to supply only what the animal needs may provide an opportunity for cost savings. This paper will describe the process …

Diabetes Alters Contraction-Induced Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase Activation In The Rat Soleus And Plantaris, Anjaiah Katta, Deborah L. Preston, Sunil K. Kakarla, Shinichi Asano, Sarath Meduru, Sriram P. Mupparaju, Ellie Yokochi, Kevin M. Rice, Devashish H. Desai, Eric R. Blough

MIIR Faculty Research

The prescription of anaerobic exercise has recently been advocated for the management of diabetes; however exercise-induced signaling in diabetic muscle remains largely unexplored. Evidence from exercise studies in nondiabetics suggests that the extracellular-signal-regulated kinases (Erk1/2), p38, and c-JUN NH2-terminal kinase (Jnk) mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are important regulators of muscle adaptation. Here, we compare the basal and the in situ contraction-induced phosphorylation of Erk1/2- p38- and Jnk-MAPK and their downstream targets (p90rsk and MAPKAP-K2) in the plantaris and soleus muscles of normal and obese (fa/fa) Zucker rats. Compared to lean animals, the time course and magnitude of Erk1/2, p90rsk and …

Effects Of Sex, Age, And Season On Plasma Steroids In Free-Ranging Texas Horned Lizards (Phrynosoma Cornutum), Corina L. Wack, Stanley F. Fox, Eric C. Hellgren, Matthew P. Lovern

Publications

The Texas horned lizard (Phrynosoma cornutum) is protected in several states due to its apparently declining numbers; information on its physiology is therefore of interest from both comparative endocrine and applied perspectives. We collected blood samples from free-ranging P. cornutum in Oklahoma from April to September 2005, spanning their complete active period. We determined plasma concentrations of the steroids, progesterone (P), testosterone (T), and corticosterone (CORT) by radioimmunoassay following chromatographic separation and 17β-estradiol (E2) by direct radioimmunoassay. T concentrations in breeding males were significantly higher than in non-breeding males. P showed no significant seasonal variation within either sex. …
