description: This is a chart from a study done by Dr. Egerton Elliot Hall of the unequal distribution of employment across races, particularly concerning African Americans and white Americans throughout the 1910s through the early 1930s within New Jersey. During this time many African American migrants from Southern states were moving to the New Jersey area. Through this study Hall explores the effects of the unequal distribution of employment on various aspects of the lives of African Americans such as their health and education. This particular chart shows the number of African AMericans in various public service occupations in the 1930s versus the total amount of employees within each of those occupations. The public service occupations include the following: fireman, guard, marshal, state and city inspector, policeman, and soldier. The numbers of African Americans fulfilling most of the public service occupations were extremely low compared to the total number of employees that fulfilled these positions. The information for this chart was obtained from the Census of Occupations of the United States Bureau of the Census.

description: Tobacco smoke exposure during pregnancy is strongly associated with higher rates of congenital heart malformations and cigarette smoking is a major cause of heart attacks lending to the growing epidemic of heart failure. This proposal seeks to identify how a protein called Brd4, which has emerged as an important drug target for the treatment of cancer and heart failure, regulates the process by which heart-specific stem cells gives rise to heart muscle cells. Understanding the detailed molecular mechanisms of how a functional heart muscle cell is made during development holds the key to unlocking our ability to regenerate heart muscle cells in patients suffering from cardiovascular disease. Stem cells that make up the heart produce three different kinds of cells: myocytes (the muscle cells of the heart), endothelial cells (the cells that line blood vessels), and smooth muscle cells (the cells that surround and support blood vessels). How heart-specific stem cells decide which type of specialized cell they will become in the adult heart remains a mystery. Brd4 binds to specific modifications on histones (the proteins around which DNA is wrapped) that can affect how much a gene is turned on or off. My preliminary data suggests that Brd4 is important in promoting the development of heart muscle cells by helping to turn on specific sets of important genes. In the proposed work, I will use cell culture systems and mouse models to determine what happens to decision-making in heart stem cells when Brd4 is either inhibited by drugs or genetically deleted. Using cutting-edge sequencing technologies, I will define all of the genes that Brd4 is regulating during heart muscle cell development and uncover new genes that are essential for this process. Learning what makes a heart stem cell choose which type of specialized cell it will become is critical for our ability to create regenerative therapies for patients who have suffered heart attacks or have heart failure and for better understanding how these processes go awry in the setting of congenital heart disease.

description: After the Soviets suppressed the Revolution in Hungary in 1956, approximately 200,000 Hungarians fled the country.  Many Hungarian refugees came to New Jersey, some of whom were housed at Camp Kilmer, a military post near New Brunswick.  Many members of the nearby Rutgers University community worked to help the refugees.  In this copy of a letter, Marguerite L. Richards, Chair of the Department of Romance Languages at Douglass College, offers the services of the members of her department to assist with the refugees.  These services included teaching English-as-a-second-language skills, providing transportation, donating books, sewing, and cooking.

MRI-Derived Risk Maps to Predict Prostate Cancer Progression

description: Prostate cancer is extremely prevalent, striking >15,000 Californian men per year. With the risk of treatment side effects being high (77%) and the risk of short-term progression of prostate cancer being low (20%), men deemed at low-risk of progression to spread of the cancer outside the prostate are recommended to follow active surveillance. Unfortunately, about 80% of these men instead undergo treatment, in large part due to the poor predictive accuracy of current, clinical indicators of risk of progression.

 The amount of aggressive disease is currently accepted to be the best predictor for prostate cancer progression. However current methods to assess this are based on evaluating biopsy samples of the prostate, which only test small portions of the prostate and can thus mischaracterize the cancer. Multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) may be able to overcome this limitation by imaging the entire prostate. However, current mpMRI methods rely on qualitative assessments of limited parameters which are not sensitive enough for accurate prediction of progression.

 In the proposed study, we will leverage our state-of-the-art mpMRI, translated to the clinic in 2015 and performed more than 30 times a week, and our novel, mpMRI analyses to detect cancer and aggressive cancer in the prostate. We will create maps of the prostate showing brighter areas where there is higher risk of cancer and maps with brighter areas for higher risk of aggressive cancer. We will test if the bright cancer volumes from these maps can be used to identify and to predict prostate cancer progression. We will also test if combinations of these measures with clinical measures perform better than current methods. Lastly, we will automate creating these risk maps and test providing them to radiologists, similar to how they review standard images, to facilitate translation to the clinic.

 This project addresses the TRDRP’s cancer prevention, treatment and biology research priority. It is in the area of translational cancer research, centered on early detection and prediction of progression of cancer to plan treatment strategies. The proposed methods to predict risk of progression based on the MRI risk-maps are expected to help guide doctors and their prostate cancer patients in choosing therapy or in following active surveillance, to ultimately reduce morbidity and mortality from prostate cancer.

description: The term thirdhand tobacco smoke (THS) refers to tobacco smoke residues in indoor environments that remain, react and/or re-emit from materials and/or re-suspend from surfaces (dust). Over the last decade the concept that THS is a distinct harmful entity has emerged, as well as concern about its health risks for adults and especially children. For the last 6 years the Consortium has been supported by TRDRP to build a strong science base for understanding the health effects of exposure to THS. The Consortium now seeks funding for 3 more years, with an emphasis on carrying out laboratory and field studies that will help in translating THS research findings so that they are useful and accessible to health practitioners, public health organizations, advocacy groups, and the public. We also intend to increase dissemination of our THS research, supporting policy modeling and development. We propose to extend our basic science research to identify biomarkers (tracers of harm inside the body)that will be useful in studies of human health effects, and examine factors associated with developmental and genetic vulnerability to THS-induced injury. We will investigate mechanisms of THS-induced adverse effects in cell models and in animal studies to further understanding the potential risks and pathways for THS damage. We propose more detailed studies of human exposure and effects of THS, including applying biomarkers that were developed in preclinical studies, with a particular focus on exposure by contact through skin and uptake of THS in children. To answer the need for diagnostic tools and solutions to THS contamination, we propose to develop standard methods for assessing THS contamination in various environments, and test the effects of various remediation methods on THS constituents. We propose to disseminate our research widely, and engage with public and private stakeholders to develop, implement and promote tobacco control policies that will reduce the harmful impacts of THS on public health. Cost-effectiveness of prevention, remediation and treatment strategies will also be considered. These efforts will inform new basic as well as applied science and, with involvement of the public, may nurture widespread understanding of risks related to thirdhand smoke contamination and exposures.

Remarks. This specimen is similar to Baba’s description (1955) of Thordisa sanguinea and is very similar to T. sanguinea from the Pacific (illustrated in Gosliner et al. (2015), pag.178). The only difference is that the three or four darker areas mentioned by Baba (1955) are not clearly visible in the specimen collected by us. Therefore, additional material from the western Indian Ocean and further anatomical and/or molecular examination is needed in order to confirm the identification of this species.

description: The goals of the Controlled Human Exposure and THS Generation Core are to identify the health effects of acute exposures to THS, to test strategies for identifying members of the public who are exposed to THS and to continue to provide other researchers with high quality THS samples to study. In the last funding cycle, we found that wearing cotton clothing that had been exposed to as much smoke as would be in a heavy smokers' house caused large increases in the metabolites of nicotine (cotinine) and the tobacco-specific carcinogen NNK (NNAL). These increases were 2-10 times higher than we have seen in previous respiratory exposure experiments. The skin is an important exposure route for THS exposure because the majority of THS in the indoor environment is sorbed to surfaces. Consortium research has shown that THS exposure causes numerous disorders and diseases in laboratory animals and in vitro systems, but we have not yet demonstrated a connection between THS exposure and health problems in humans. In our new controlled human exposure experiments, we will compare inhalational exposure to SHS, inhalational exposure to THS and dermal exposure to THS, testing flow-mediated dilation, reactive hyperemia, peripheral arterial tonometry, and heart rate variability in healthy nonsmokers. We will compare the effects of dermal and respiratory exposure to THS on uptake and metabolism of nicotine, NNK, volatile organic compounds and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. We will measure epidermal retention of THS and effects of exposure on gene activation and the protein synthesis in epidermal, buccal and nasal cells. Our goal is to identify any changes in bodily function that are caused by acute THS exposure. Though it is important to identify the effects of acute THS exposure, chronic exposures are more likely to cause harm. We will test two different methods to identify people who are exposed to THS. First, in our studies we always find people with higher baseline levels of THS biomarkers. We will ask participants to collect dust and wipe samples in their homes for testing and to join a registry for future research. To see how children are exposed, we will advertise for parents who think they may be living with THS. If wipe and dust samples show their homes are contaminated, we will give their children custom-made teddy bears to play with for one month. The bears will be made of plush cloth to absorb THS. We will test the cloth, learn more about the children's exposure and invite the families to join a registry for future research and remediation.
The impact of price on the demand for electronic cigarettes

description: The objective of this study is to estimate the price elasticity of demand (i.e. the percentage change in quantity demanded in response to a one percent change in price) for electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and the relationship between price change of conventional cigarettes/e-cigarettes and e-cigarettes/conventional cigarettes sales in California. In recent years, e-cigarette use is expanding rapidly. In California, the use of e-cigarettes in the past month for adults (aged 18+) tripled from 1.8% in 2012 to 5.8% in 2013, and around 1 in 10 teens reported smoking e-cigarettes in 2014. However, little is known about the health and economic impact of e-cigarette use. This study will provide estimates of the impact of e-cigarette prices on demand for e-cigarettes using two different types of data (household survey data and retail sales data), and the cross-price elasticity between conventional cigarettes prices and e-cigarettes sales. We will also look at the responsiveness of conventional cigarette sales to e-cigarette prices. Our findings will help policymakers to understand the interrelationship between e-cigarette and conventional cigarette sales and prices, and the information will be useful for simulating the potential impact of e-cigarette tax policies. The study objectives will be accomplished by addressing three specific aims:

 Aim 1. Estimate own price elasticity and cross-price elasticity of demand for e-cigarettes using household survey data. Own price elasticity will also be estimated by household income and these measures will be compared to determine how different income groups respond to price changes for e-cigarettes. We will also estimate the cross-price elasticity of demand for e-cigarettes by examining the impact of price changes for conventional cigarettes on e-cigarettes sales in California.

 Aim 2. Estimate the price elasticity and cross-price elasticity of demand for e-cigarettes using retail sales data. These estimates will be compared with the estimates from Aim 1.

 Aim 3. Estimate the cross-price elasticity of demand for conventional cigarettes. We will examine the impact of price changes for e-cigarettes on conventional cigarettes sales using both household survey data and retail sales data.

 This study will provide the first California-specific estimates of price elasticity of demand for e-cigarettes. Based on an earlier national study (Huang et al., 2014), we anticipate e-cigarette sales will be very responsive to price changes, but this has not been shown for California or for different income households. The findings from this study will provide useful information for tobacco control policymakers for designing policies to regulate and tax e-cigarettes.

description: The incidence of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated malignant and non-malignant epithelial lesions in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive individuals is substantially higher than in HIV-negative individuals and continues to rise in the era of antiretroviral therapy. HIV may increase the risk of HPV-related disease through attenuation of immune response to HPV or other direct molecular interactions between the two viruses. Our preliminary data indicate that the HIV tat and gp120 proteins disrupt intercellular junctions of mucosal epithelium and facilitate HPV 16 pseudovirions (PsV) entry into epithelium. HPV PsV entry into tat-disrupted epithelium can be inhibited by antibodies to tight junction proteins occludin and claudin 1, suggesting that these proteins may serve as receptors for HPV attachment and/or entry. These findings suggest that HIV tat- and gp120- induced disruption of mucosal epithelium may facilitate HPV infection by dissociating epithelial junctions and exposing HPV receptors. Our specific aims are: 1) To study the role of HIV tat and gp120-mediated exposure to the tight junction proteins occludin and claudin 1 in HPV binding. 2) To study the role of occludin and claudin 1 in HPV entry into epithelial cells with HIV tat and gp120-disrupted tight junctions. Investigation of the role of HIV tat and gp120 in potentiating HPV infection through tight junction proteins occludin and claudin-1 is important to understand the basic biology of HPV infection of the mucosal epithelium in HIV-positive individuals. This knowledge may also lead to development of compounds that inhibit tight junction disruption and/or HPV binding in epithelium and when applied topically, may prevent HPV infection in both HIV-positive and HIV-negative individuals.

description: The impact of alcohol consumption on HIV transmission among gay men has been greatly underappreciated. An extensive body of research documents elevated rates of alcohol and use among gay men and evidence links alcohol consumption with unsafe sexual behavior decreased safer sex negotiation, condom failure, and risks for becoming HIV infected. Gay bar patrons are at higher risk for alcohol associated HIV risks arising from several factors; increased frequent/heavy alcohol consumption and problems, socializing centered around gay bars, and higher rates of un-safe sex behaviors than those who do not frequent gay bars. However, there has been very little research on alcohol consumption interventions and HIV risk in gay men. In our preliminary research in San Francisco we have found that gay bar attendance is very common along with high rates of heavy alcohol use and that consumption of water in bars is the most frequent tactic used to decrease alcohol intoxication. However gay bar patrons report several barriers to availability and accessibility of water. We propose to develop and pilot test an intervention to alter the environment where alcohol consumption occurs by installing a free, self-service filtered water dispenser to help bar patrons pace their alcohol use along with a bar poster campaign focusing on alcohol and HIV risks and to reduce individual level alcohol consumption and HIV risk behaviors through showing exiting bar patrons their blood alcohol levels as compared to others exiting the bar as measured by hand-held breathalyzer. To evaluate the potential effectiveness of this intervention we will compare data from an exit sample 1,200 gay bar patrons taken from 4 gay bars in San Francisco (2 with the water tap and posters and 2 with no water tap or posters) and web-based follow-up alcohol and sexual behavior survey. Specifically we would like to see if: 1) The intervention makes a difference in the measured blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level measured by breathalyzer by comparing the average BAC in people exiting the bars with the free water tap and posters to the average BAC in people exiting the bars without the water tap and posters. 2) Gay bar patrons find measuring their BAC is acceptable to them and if they think it is useful information for them to have. 3) What the size of the effect the intervention has on the number of people who have unsafe sex while intoxicated by comparing the amount of unsafe sex reported in by people exiting the bars with the free water tap and posters to the amount of unsafe sex reported in by people exiting the bars without the water tap and posters. To our knowledge this will be the first study targeted at reducing alcohol use associated HIV risks in gay bar patrons. Results from this study will be used to design a large-scale community-wide test of the multi-level intervention.

description: While most HIV-infected patients can now achieve nearly complete viral suppression on currently available HIV medications, they still have at least a 10-year shorter life expectancy than the general population and are at higher risk for diseases associated with accelerated aging including cardiovascular disease and non-AIDS-defining cancers. Persistent inflammation and immune activation are believed to drive this increased risk. Despite suppression of viral replication in peripheral blood by effective HIV medications, HIV may continue to be expressed at low levels by T cells in the lining of the gut and may also result in translocation of bacterial products across the lining of the gut, driving persistent inflammation. We believe that decreasing inflammation directly in the gut may decrease both of these potential causes of chronic inflammation, potentially resulting in an immunologic benefit. Mesalamine is an oral anti-inflammatory drug used to treat patients with inflammatory bowel disease, acts locally on the gut tissue to decrease inflammation, and is associated with very few side effects. In this study, we will test whether 12 weeks of mesalamine therapy decreases immune activation and inflammation in HIV-infected patients with viral suppression on HIV medications. If mesalamine therapy reduces immune activation and inflammation in our study, it would prompt larger studies to see if mesalamine decreases clinical outcomes like cardiovascular disease, cancer, and mortality in this setting.

description: Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a lethal disease caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In the absence of antiviral drugs, most HIV-infected individuals develop AIDS within 10 years of infection. This is due to the general inability of immune responses to eliminate HIV and the resulting persistence of harmful virus. However, rare HIV-infected individuals have been identified who naturally control HIV replication. Remarkably, these elite controllers (EC) maintain undetectable levels of HIV and can remain AIDS-free for more than 20 years. To date, the biologic mechanisms that distinguish EC from other HIV-infected individuals have not been determined. We reason that important clues, necessary for the development of an effective HIV vaccine and improved drug therapies, are concealed in the blood of EC. The overall goals of this study are to identify the major biologic factors that distinguish elite controllers. Our specific aims are 1) to investigate the hypothesis that elite controllers feature superior innate immune responses against HIV infection and 2) to investigate the hypothesis that autophagy is a major determinant of HIV replication levels in elite controllers. We anticipate that the insight gained from this study will direct the development of clinical approaches to mirror the protective features of EC in other HIV-infected individuals and in those at risk for HIV infection. The proposed study is ideally suited for the CHRP IDEA Award mechanism. The specific aims are novel with respect to the fact that they have not been addressed in EC. In addition, this is pilot study will be carried out by a new investigator. Finally, this study is directly relevant to California’s HIV/AIDS crisis and its need for the improved prevention and treatment of HIV infection. Traditional vaccine approaches have not been successful. Therefore, focus must be given to studies that identify natural correlates of protection from HIV infection and disease. In this regard, the proposed study will identify new trajectories for vaccine development, particularly those that target non-classical immune responses.
