Understanding Depression among Elderly Korean Immigrants through Their Folk Illnesses
Authors: Pang Keum Young Chung
Published: November 2004

Twenty‐four elderly Korean immigrants living in the Washington, DC, area were interviewed to explore their conceptualization of depression and its relationship to the Korean folk illnesses han, hwabyung, and shinggyongshaeyak. Informants perceived depression as a mood, but not as a serious illness except when it was related to the folk illnesses. Informants did not associate physical complaints with depression, which they saw as subject to control by the sufferer's will. Clinicians who recognize similarities between the folk illnesses and depression may be able to help Korean immigrant clients recognize that depressive affect may be a sign of illness that can be treated by medical professionals.
Fascist Unionization and the Professionalization of Midwives in Italy: A Sicilian Case Study
Authors: Triolo Nancy
Published: November 2004

In the 19th century, Italian midwives (then called levatrice) began to organize in an attempt to resist encroachments being made on their practice by obstetricians. Licensed midwives formed professional societies, organized national congresses, and published journals. By the fascist period (1922–43), with the foundation of the first national state‐sanctioned union and the institution of an obligatory professional register (Albo), midwifery achieved the status of a recognized profession. The professionalizing practices of midwives, however, combined with a new state interest in their activities and a broader role for the medical profession in defining the proper place of midwives, held Italian midwifery to a course that, in the end, led to its institution as a secondary and subordinate profession within the Italian medical hierarchy. This article focuses on very specific material from Sicily to see, in detail, the workings of this process.
Swallowing Frogs: Anger and Illness in Northeast Brazil
Authors: Rebhun L. A.
Published: November 2004

Northeast Brazilian women use the term “swallowing frogs” to describe the act of suppressing anger, hatred, or irritation and of putting up with unfair treatment silently. Most are all too familiar with both these situations, and their anguish finds its expression in folk ailments that embody distress such as evil‐eye sickness (mal olhadoj, “nerves” (nervos), shock sickness (susto,), open chest (peito aberto) and blood‐boiling bruises. These interrelated syndromes reflect the difficulties of suppressing unsanctioned emotions and of convincing oneself to feel what is socially expected while maintaining proper emotional demeanor. The syndromes are related to a folk theory of strong negative emotions (anger, envy, anxiety, fear) causing both social and physical harm.
Struggling over Subjectivity: Debates about the “Self” and Alzheimer's Disease
Authors: HERSKOVITS ELIZABETH
Published: November 2004

The current conception of Alzheimer's disease emerged in the 1970s and achieved wide acceptance and popularization because it effectively served political‐economic interests, solved pragmatic, clinical, and psychological problems, and met philosophical and ethical concerns. But the very success of this widespread acceptance and popularization has produced a troubling dilemma regarding the subjectivity of the person diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. A “loss of self” is implicit in the current Alzheimer's construct, and it has been argued that, consequently, the subjective experience of being and becoming old has become increasingly distressing. It has been further suggested that a response to this unintended assault on the self can be seen in the now burgeoning literature offering diverse representations of and debates about the “self” in Alzheimer's. What appears to be at stake in these competing voices is our very notion of what comprises the self and what constitutes subjective experience. Finally, one can speculate why, as a culture, we tell these stories about aging: it could be that, as a society as well as a community of gerontological thinkers and practitioners, our struggle with the nature of the self‐in‐Alzheimer's reflects our struggle to grapple with what it will be like, and what it will mean, to be and become old.
Toward an Anthropology of Senility: Anger, Weakness, and Alzheimer's in Banaras, India
Authors: Cohen Lawrence
Published: November 2004

Dementia has seldom been subject to cross‐cultural and cross‐class analyses that localize the obviousness and meaningfulness of its pathology. Fieldwork with old persons and their families in four neighborhoods of Banaras, India, stratified by class, is presented to suggest the need for an anthropology of senility. The centrality of “hot brain”—of anger rather than memory as a fundamental index of senile difference—is explored through its differential construction across class and gender in these neighborhoods. The hearing of the angry voice is examined in relation to local knowledge about weakness, madness, and “sixtyishness” and to practices that maintain intergenerational difference through the construction of what is here termed a familial body.
Organ Wars: The Battle for Body Parts
Authors: Joralemon Donald
Published: November 2004

Transplantation surgeries contribute to conceptions of the body as a collection of replaceable parts and of the self as distinct from all but its neural locus. There remains substantial cultural resistance to these conceptions, which leads the medical community to attempt to link the surgeries to social values that are sufficiently powerful to minimize the sense of a disjuncture between traditional concepts of personhood and those consistent with transplantation. The controversy over how to increase the supply of transplantable organs reveals two diametrically opposed sets of values invoked by advocates of transplantation: altruism and individual rights. The article analyzes these as the ideological equivalents of immunosuppressant drugs, designed to inhibit cultural rejection of transplantation and its view of the body.
Organ Transplantation as a Transformative Experience: Anthropological Insights into the Restructuring of the Self
Authors: Sharp Lesley A.
Published: November 2004

Transplantation represents in the popular mind the pinnacle of biomedical knowledge and skill. Its feasibility depends upon the management of conflicting cultural values surrounding death and dying, where diverse parties consider bodies and their parts to be personal property, sacred entities, or offerings to the common good. Specifically within the specialized transplant community, viable organs are scarce, socially valuable resources. The ideology that guides transplant professionals, however, is rife with contradictions: close inspection reveals unease over definitions of death and rights to body parts. Ideological disjunction arises from the competing needs to personalize and to objectify organs and bodies. Organ recipients struggle with these contradictory messages as they rebuild their sense of self and self‐worth following transplantation. This transformative process is explored by analyzing professional writings and data generated from ethnographic research in the United States. The study ends by examining transformed identity as fictionalized and extended biography.
Clown Doctors: Shaman Healers of Western Medicine
Authors: VAN BLERKOM LINDA MILLER
Published: November 2004

The Big Apple Circus Clown Care Unit, which entertains children in New York City hospitals, is compared with non‐Western healers, especially shamans. There is not only superficial resemblance‐weird costumes, music, sleight of hand, puppet/spirit helpers, and ventriloquism‐but also similarity in the meanings and functions of their performances. Both clown and shaman violate natural and cultural rules in their performances. Both help patient and family deal with illness. Both use suggestion and manipulation of medical symbols in attempting to alleviate their patients' distress. Just as traditional ethnomedical systems have been integrated with Western medicine in other societies, clown doctors can provide complementary therapy that may enhance the efficacy of medical treatment in developed nations, particularly for children.
Mohawk English in the Medical Interview
Authors: WOOLFSON PETER , HOOD VIRGINIA , SECKER‐WALKER ROGER , MACAULAY ANN C.
Published: November 2004

Mohawk English uses metalinguistic cues that reflect Iroquoian grammatical and sociolinguistic patterning. Although phrases like “It seems to me” are common in many varieties of English, Mohawk English speakers use these words and phrases in subtly different ways from other speakers of English. These differences could lead to misinterpretation by health care providers.
Fetal Ultrasound Imaging and the Production of Authoritative Knowledge in Greece
Authors: Georges Eugenia
Published: November 2004

In Greece repetitive and intensive fetal scanning is now a universal feature of prenatal care. This article examines some of the ways in which pregnant women and obstetricians experience the intensive use of fetal ultrasound in a small city in eastern Greece. Based on observations and interviews conducted in a public hospital, it is argued that fetal imaging plays a privileged role in the production of authoritative knowledge around pregnancy for both doctors and women. The authority of the technology rests primarily on its ability to create a straightforward sense of reality and visual pleasure. These qualities lead women to actively demand fetal scanning, which helps them to feel the reality of their pregnancies, reassures them of fetal health, and provides a pleasurable sense of contact with, and knowledge about, the fetus. Doctors freely offer multiple scans to attract women to the public hospital, to practice “modern” obstetrics, and to negotiate among themselves for control over the management of pregnant women.
Fetal Rights versus the Female Body: Contested Domains
Authors: Heriot M. Jean
Published: November 2004

This article examines the debates surrounding the personhood of the fetus in relationship to the mother as these issues were socially constructed in the Mississippi state legislature in 1990 and 1991. In examining the patriarchal assumptions that underlay the proposed Mississippi legislation, the article also addresses the legal ramifications of defining the fetus as a person whose rights are posited as equal to, or greater than, those of the pregnant woman. By relying on medical/scientific definitions of personhood, the groundwork for further refinement and monitoring of women and fetuses is being established, such that what it means to be human is increasingly defined in essentialist terms. In the final evaluation, focusing on conception as the moment in which an “unborn child” is created sets the stage for the ultimate essentialist metaphor: a eugenic definition of personhood.
Personhood and Illness among the Kulina
Authors: Pollock Donald
Published: November 2004

This article offers both a contribution to the ethnography of ethnomedicine among the Kulina Indians of western Amazonia—a region in which there has been little ethnomedical research—and an extended illustration of the value of the concept of “personhood” in the analysis of ethnomedical beliefs and practices. I argue that the current medical anthropological fixation on the Body is neither good ethnography nor productive theory, and I use the Kulina example to illustrate how the cultural dimensions of personhood provide a more satisfactory framework for the understanding of illness. Kulina conceptions of illness are closely linked to the substances and processes through which personhood is acquired, expressed, and transformed. I consider the two major categories of illness in Kulina ethnomedicine, and focus special attention on the more serious of these: potentially fatal illnesses that are linked to witchcraft and to the violations of prohibitions. I suggest how these illnesses serve as languages for the simultaneous negotiation of social issues and personhood.
Farewell to Adaptationism: Unnatural Selection and the Politics of Biology
Authors: Singer Merrill
Published: November 2004

This article argues that human adaptation has lost its utility as a conceptual tool for either biological or medical anthropology, despite the recent efforts of practitioners in these subdisciplines to rescue it by considering the influences of power, history, and global social processes. It draws on cases from diverse fields, including evolutionary studies, ethology, genetics, and epidemiology, to suggest new ways of conceptualizing the relationship between humans and their physical and biotic environments; environments that they, and to a lesser degree other species, are not so much “adapting to” as transforming, while being transformed themselves in the process. Central to this reconceptualization is an understanding of human behavior and environmental relationships in political‐economic context.
Technology and Alternative Cancer Therapies: An Analysis of Heterodoxy and Constructivism
Authors: Hess David J.
Published: November 2004

Theories of the construction of technology are reviewed from the wider interdisciplinary conversation known as science and technology studies (STS) and from the growing field of the anthropology of science and technology. These theories are used to contribute to research situated at the intersection of the anthropology of alternative medicine and of medical technologies. Cases drawn from the research tradition on microbial theories of cancer are considered to show how unorthodox medical theories become embedded in technologies through choices in microscope design and treatment technologies. In turn, the technologies contribute to the heterodox standing of the researchers, their research, and their therapies.

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among American women. Due to increased screening, the majority of patients present with early-stage breast cancer. The Oxford Overview Analysis demonstrates that adjuvant hormonal therapy and polychemotherapy reduce the risk of recurrence and death from breast cancer. Adjuvant systemic therapy, however, has associated risks and it would be useful to be able to optimally select patients most likely to benefit. The purpose of adjuvant systemic therapy is to eradicate distant micrometastatic deposits. It is essential therefore to be able to estimate an individual patient's risk of harboring clinically silent micrometastatic disease using established prognostic factors. It is also beneficial to be able to select the optimal adjuvant therapy for an individual patient based on established predictive factors. It is standard practice to administer systemic therapy to all patients with lymph node-positive disease. However, there are clearly differences among node-positive women that may warrant a more aggressive therapeutic approach. Furthermore, there are many node-negative women who would also benefit from adjuvant systemic therapy. Prognostic factors therefore must be differentiated from predictive factors. A prognostic factor is any measurement available at the time of surgery that correlates with disease-free or overall survival in the absence of systemic adjuvant therapy and, as a result, is able to correlate with the natural history of the disease. In contrast, a predictive factor is any measurement associated with response to a given therapy. Some factors, such as hormone receptors and HER2/neu overexpression, are both prognostic and predictive.
Astrocyte specific viral strains in HIV dementia
Authors: Thompson Katherine A. , Churchill Melissa J. , Gorry Paul R. , Sterjovski Jasminka , Oelrichs Robert B. , Wesselingh Steven L. , McLean Catriona A.
Published: November 2004

We molecularly characterized human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV‐1) present in pure populations of astrocytes, macrophages, and multinucleated giant cells isolated using laser capture microdissection from brain tissue of two patients who died with HIV‐associated dementia. The V3 region of the HIV‐1 envelope (env) gene was amplified from the pure‐cell populations, and multiple clones were sequenced. In both patients, the V3 env sequences were distinct in astrocytes compared with neighboring macrophages or multinucleated giant cells and were characteristic of CCR5‐using (R5) HIV‐1. These results demonstrate cell‐specific compartmentalization of distinct R5‐like viral strains in the central nervous system microenvironment. Ann Neurol 2004
Friedreich ataxia in carriers of unstable borderline GAA triplet‐repeat alleles
Authors: Sharma Rajesh , De Biase Irene , Gómez Mariluz , Delatycki Martin B. , Ashizawa Tetsuo , Bidichandani Sanjay I.
Published: November 2004

Friedreich ataxia patients are homozygous for expanded GAA triplet‐repeats containing 66 to 1,700 triplets. We report two patients with delayed‐onset, hyperreflexia and gradually progressive disease. Both were heterozygous for large expansions and also carried alleles with 44 and 66 triplet‐repeats, respectively. Due to somatic instability, 15% (GAA‐44) and 75% (GAA‐66) of cells contained alleles with ≥66 triplet‐repeats, constituting a plausible mechanism for their mild phenotype. A sibling with a stable GAA‐37 allele and a large expansion was clinically normal. Instability of borderline alleles confers a risk for Friedreich ataxia, and the range of pathogenic alleles is broader than previously recognized. Ann Neurol 2004;56:898–901

Mobilization of exogenous and endogenous selenium to bile after the intravenous administration of environmentally relevant doses of arsenite to rabbits
Authors: Gailer Jürgen , Ruprecht Lutz , Reitmeir Peter , Benker Bärbel , Schramel Peter
Published: November 2004

Extending our studies of the effect of arsenite on the metabolism of inorganic selenium (selenite and selenate) to lower doses, we intravenously injected New Zealand white rabbits with aqueous solutions of arsenite, selenite, arsenite + selenite, selenate and selenate + arsenite at 50 µg and 5 µg metalloid per kilogram body weight. Bile samples were collected for 25 min, acid‐digested and analyzed for total arsenic and selenium by double focusing magnetic sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. At both dose levels, and in accord with previous observations, an increased mutual biliary excretion of arsenic and selenium was observed regardless of whether selenium was coadministered with arsenite in the form of selenite or selenate. Based on our previous investigations into the in vivo interaction between arsenite and selenite (or selenate), these findings can be rationalized in terms of the biliary excretion of the seleno‐bis(S‐glutathionyl) arsinium ion, [(GS)2AsSe]−. In addition, the treatment of rabbits with 50 µg arsenic per kilogram body weight in form of arsenite alone also resulted in a significantly increased bile selenium concentration compared with bile from untreated animals (p < 0.05), which implies a mobilization of endogenous selenium to bile. Combined, these results establish a causal relationship between the exposure of mammals to arsenite and selenium deficiency. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Determination of methylmercury and inorganic mercury in shark fillets
Authors: Krystek Petra , Ritsema Rob
Published: November 2004

Three samples of deep‐frozen shark fillets were analysed according to the following procedure: dissolution in tetramethylammonium hydroxide, derivatization/ethylation with sodium tetraethylborate, extraction into iso‐octane and measurement with gas chromatography hyphenated to inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (GC–ICPMS) for the identification and quantification of methylmercury (MeHg+) and inorganic mercury (Hg2+). For the correction of procedural errors, two internal standards were used. The sample pretreatment was corrected by spiking with dibutyl‐dipentyltin (DBT‐pe), and the GC–ICPMS measurements were controlled by the signal stability of xenon which was added to the GC carrier gas.

Furthermore, for comparisons, the total amount of mercury was determined by an independent technique, i.e. atomic fluorescence spectroscopy. Standard reference materials, which are only available in the form of lyophilisates and not as fresh fish materials, were also analysed to ensure the procedural quality control. The concentration range of total mercury measured in the shark fillets was between 0.9 and 3.6 µg mercury per gram thawed‐out shark fillet. Two samples contained higher concentrations than the European legislation. Speciation analysis leads to ≥94% mercury bound as MeHg+. Since MeHg+ is known as one of the most toxic compounds, this conclusion is of importance with respect to bioaccumulation of mercury species via fish into the human food chain.

Nanocomposites based on poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) and montmorillonite
Authors: Someya Yoshihiro , Sugahara Yuichi , Shibata Mitsuhiro
Published: November 2004

Nanocomposites based on biodegradable poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) and layered silicates were prepared by the melt intercalation method. Nonmodified montmorillonite (MMT) and organo‐modified MMTs (DA‐M, ODA‐M, and LEA‐M) by the protonated ammonium cations of dodecylamine, octadecylamine, and N‐lauryldiethanolamine, respectively, were used as the layered silicates. The comparison of interlayer spacing between clay and PBAT composites with inorganic content 3 wt % measured by X‐ray diffraction (XRD) revealed the formation of intercalated nanocomposites in DA‐M and LEA‐M. In case of PBAT/ODA‐M (3 wt %), no clear peak related to interlayer spacing was observed. From morphological studies using transmission electron microscopy, the ODA‐M was found to be finely and homogeneously dispersed in the matrix polymer, indicating the formation of exfoliated nanocomposite. When ODA‐M content was increased, the XRD peak related to intercalated clay increased. Although the exfoliated ODA‐M (3 wt %) nanocomposite showed a lower tensile modulus than the intercalated DA‐M and LEA‐M (3 wt %) composites, the PBAT/ODA‐M composite with inorganic content 5 wt % showed the highest tensile modulus, strength, and elongation at break among the PBAT composites with inorganic content 5 wt %. Their tensile properties are discussed in relation to the degree of crystallinity of the injection molded samples. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 95: 386–392, 2005
Chemiluminescent analysis of the antioxidant and immunomodulation effects of several psychotropic drugs on peritoneal macrophages
Authors: Hadjimitova V. , Traykov T. , Bakalova R. , Petrova V. , Lambev I. , Ohba H. , Ishikawa M. , Baba Y.
Published: November 2004

The present study describes the application of several chemiluminescent (CL) methods for evaluation of antioxidant and immunomodulation effects of psychotropic drugs upon phagocytes: KO2‐induced luminal‐dependent CL for detection of superoxide anion radicals in a pure chemical system; PMA‐ and A23187‐induced CL of peritoneal macrophages for detection of free radicals in cell suspension; and CL, produced by the luciferase‐catalyzed luciferin + ATP reaction, for evaluation of cell viability before and after drug application. These methods provide also a way to investigate the location of drug action. It was found that the psychotropic drugs inﬂuence the ‘oxidative burst’ of macrophages through two mechanisms: by expression of drug antioxidant properties and/or by a direct immunomodulation effect.

Study on the interaction between protein and Eu(III)–chlorotetracycline complex and the determination of protein using the ﬂuorimetric method
Authors: Liu Shufang , Yang Jinghe , Wu Xia , Wang Fei , Wang Feng , Jia Zhen , Mao Lijuan
Published: November 2004

Chlorotetracycline (CTC) can react with europium ions Eu3+, and the complex emits the intrinsic ﬂuorescence of Eu3+. The intensity is greatly enhanced by proteins and this forms the basis of a new ﬂuorimetric method for determination of protein. Further research indicates that under optimum conditions, the enhanced intensity of ﬂuorescence is in proportion to the concentration of proteins, in the range 2.0 × 10−7–1.0 × 10−5 g/mL for bovine serum albumin (BSA) (linear equation, If = 34.35933 + 11.54467 × 106C)(r = 0.99895) and 8.0 × 10−7–1.0 × 10−5 g/mL for human serum albumin (HSA) (linear equation, If = 76.58881 + 5.3569 × 106C) (r = 0.99283). Detection limits (S/N = 3) were 8.9 × 10−9 g/mL for BSA and 3.3 × 10−8 g/mL for HSA. In an assay for BSA in calf serum, this method gave a value close to that determined by the UV spectrophotometric method. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
