description: Computer models can help state and local policymakers make the best decisions. A computer model analyzes many different types of data. It also applies the results of scientific studies to that data. The resulting model can predict the effect of a change in policy. The SimSmoke computer model predicts smoking rates and deaths for the United States. SimSmoke also predicts how changes in law, medicine, taxes or mass media will affect smoking and death rates.

 The proposed project will create a California SimSmoke computer model. California has a very diverse population. The state is also a leader in policies to reduce the harm caused by tobacco. For these two reasons, California is an ideal place to develop a state-level computer model.

 California SimSmoke will track smokers by age, gender and racial/ethnic group. The model will predict smoking and smoking related deaths based on population subgroups and public policies in effect. The model will include the effects of policies such as taxes, mass media, clean air laws, treatment to stop smoking, and youth access to tobacco.

 Californians could use this computer model to see how different policies affect smoking, which in turn affect smoking related deaths. The model examines the effect of past policies and develops predictions on the effect of future policies. They would be able to monitor the value of each policy, and show how past policies have been effective and where they have not been effective. They could then use the model to shape future policies.

 Californians could even see the effect of policies on the smoking rates and deaths to specific age, gender and racial/ethnic groups. They could discern which age groups and racial groups are currently being affected by tobacco control policies in the state of California, and determine polices to improve the health of these groups.

 Developing this computer model will help leaders understand about past policies and make better decisions about future policies. They could also see how the effect of policies depends on the way in which they are implemented, and the other policies already in place. Better decisions can improve health for everyone.

description: Ethnomedicine, the complex tradition of medical practices, has always been an important component of human societies. The purpose of this paper is to focus on ethnomedicine from an anthropological perspective, discuss its significance, and describe the interaction between tribal medicine and the modern healthcare system and the innumerable avenues and problems that arise due to their integration. These highlight the holistic nature of traditional medicine, which often contradicts the scientific basis of modern biomedicine. A comprehensive approach that embraces both systems has the potential to improve service delivery, especially in culturally diverse and resource?constrained settings. Drawing from anthropological insights and experiences documented in case studies worldwide, this paper highlights why cultural competence and ethical engagement are essential to effective health practice. The integration of these systems poses challenges but also opens powerful opportunities for enhanced solutions.

Remarks
The species was first briefly described as Pugettia sagamiensis by Gordon (1930), followed by a more detailed description by Gordon (1931). This species was transferred to Goniopugettia by Sakai (1986). In the same year, however, Griffin & Tranter published a large revision on all the Indo-West Pacific Majoidea and placed this species in Rochinia (Griffin & Tranter 1986a: 187). Ng et al. (2001) was the next to recognise Goniopugettia and used this name for the Taiwanese material.
Distribution
This species is known from Japan (Sakai 1965; 1986) and Taiwan (Ng et al. 2001; Wang et al. 2013). The specimen caught during the DONGSHA cruise within the South China Sea is the most southern known record.

Tobacco smoke, inflammation & atherosclerosis

description: It is well known in the scientific community that smoking causes many harmful effects to the blood vessel. One of these effects is called atherosclerosis, a condition in which there is a buildup of materials that causes narrowing of the blood vessel. Advanced atherosclerosis can lead to complete occlusion of a blood vessel when there are other events that trigger blood clots to form in the occluded vessel. These series of events can lead to devastating consequences such as heart attacks and strokes. In recent years, an abundance of scientific evidence suggests that atherosclerosis is strongly influenced by the immune system of the host. When the immune system is not functioning properly due to any number of reasons, atherosclerosis development can be profoundly affected. One of the harmful consequences of smoking is a weakened immune system, as has been documented in the last several decades by numerous scientists. Because atherosclerosis is affected by the immune system and because smoking causes many changes in the immune system, we are asking if one of the ways in which smoking affects atherosclerosis is by causing harmful changes in the immune system that is known to contribute to the development of atherosclerosis. To understand this, we are proposing to use animal models that develop atherosclerosis similar to humans and exposing them to tobacco smoke. This animal model will simulate a human smoker who is in midst of developing atherosclerosis. Because it is virtually impossible to study this phenomenon in humans, animal models such as the ones we are proposing to use are the best alternative. Using these models we can determine in detail the alterations in the immune system brought about by tobacco smoke exposure. We will also find out how atherosclerosis is affected in the animals exposed to smoke compared to unexposed animals. Once we learn the effects of tobacco smoke on the immune system and atherosclerosis, we will attempt to neutralize some of the harmful effects of tobacco smoke by using agents that we think will reverse these effects. If these agents show promise in reversing the deleterious effects of tobacco smoke on atherosclerosis, we will be in a position to possibly develop therapeutic agents that can inhibit the tobacco smoke-mediated development of atherosclerosis.

description: Long-term survival for patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is rare. Even when the initial response to chemotherapy treatment is good, the majority of the patients develop resistance to chemotherapy and the cancer grows back, usually within one year. This research proposal is aimed at developing new ways to treat this cancer by harnessing the immune system and by taking advantage of an important feature of SCLC cells that provides a new target for therapy. SCLC cells produce bombesin (BN)-like peptides, which are a type of hormone known as neuropeptides. These peptides promote growth of the cancerous cells. SCLC is the first human tumor identified to produce BN-like peptides and process receptors for BN-like peptides on the cell surfaces. High levels of these receptors have been found in the majority of SCLC cell lines, as well as in SCLC patient tumor tissues. Recent studies show that growth of SCLC cells in the test tube as well as in patients was inhibited by an antibody against BN peptide.

 We have developed a new therapeutic agent to treat SCLC that takes advantage of the fact that SCLC cells display the receptors for BN-like peptides on their surfaces. Our new agent combines the short peptide sequence of BN with a humanized monoclonal antibody, one of the newest and most exciting developments in cancer therapy. We call this agent a bispecific molecule (BsMol). The monoclonal antibody is designed to direct normal white blood cells to kill the cancer cells that the BsMol binds to through the BN short peptide. We have shown that this BsMol binds to SCLC cells in vitro, and causes destruction of the tumor cells. A U.S. patent [#5833985] was awarded to the Principal Investigator for the invention of this novel molecular therapy for cancer.

 In this study, we will improve the construction of the BsMol, study the optimal conditions for such a BsMol to cause tumor cell killing, and investigate how the agent causes the destruction of established SCLC tumors in a mouse model. We also will study the combined effect of this agent with standard chemotherapy drugs on the SCLC tumor cells. Results from this mouse model should be applicable to human lung cancer because these molecules have been shown to function identically in mice and in humans; therefore, these studies will allow the rational design of clinical trials for patients with SCLC.

description: Why do adolescents and young adults of different racial/ethnic and gender groups start and stop smoking? Researchers at RAND’s Health Program will try to answer that question by analyzing the smoking habits of an ethnically diverse group of young Californians. The findings of the study will help improve programs aimed at reducing tobacco use by the state’s adolescents and young adults – and will shed light on how to make such programs more sensitive to differences in the determinants of smoking behavior across racial/ethnic and gender groups.

 The study will be based on information gathered from 1985 to 2001 about a group of participants whose history of tobacco use was traced from early adolescence (age13) to young adulthood (age 29). The participants were originally enrolled in 19 middle- and junior high schools in five school districts from Northern and Southern California.

 RAND’s analysis of the information collected about these participants will provide an overall picture of tobacco use by both male and female Californians in the years leading up to adulthood. An important part of that picture will reveal similarities and differences in the smoking habits across four racial/ethnic groups: African-American, Hispanic, Asian and non-Hispanic white.

 By examining data collected over a long term, the study will uncover differences in reasons why members of these groups start to smoke, why some of them quit, and why many of them keep smoking or relapse after quitting. The findings can help smoking prevention and treatment programs better meet the needs of young males and females in all four racial/ethnic groups.

Self-hypnosis for smoking cessation

description: Cigarette smoking is the major preventable cause of death in the United States. It has been estimated that more than 420,000 deaths occur each year in this country as a result of tobacco use. The prevalence of smoking in the U.S., which had been decreasing, has now reached a plateau. Although millions of Americans have quit smoking, approximately one in four continue to smoke. The prevalence of smoking is considerably higher among veterans than in California’s population at large. The efficacy of the nicotine patch has been investigated when combined with psychosocial interventions of varying levels of intensity. Yet, a majority of smokers who quit with the help of pharmacological or psychosocial interventions relapse within one year. There is a clear need to identify and investigate more effective methods of treating nicotine addiction. No previous treatment outcome study has examined the efficacy of self-hypnosis combined with nicotine patches.

 The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of self-hypnosis combined with nicotine patches in facilitating smoking cessation and relapse prevention. To accomplish this objective, we will enroll 360 current smokers into the study. Two treatment groups will be compared. Both groups will receive nicotine patches. In one group, self-hypnosis will be combined with nicotine patches. In the other group, standard treatment will be used, combining brief smoking cessation counseling with nicotine patches. Smoking status will be assessed at 6 and 12 months.

 Hypnosis represents a powerful behavior-change strategy designed to accelerate the process of lifestyle change for smoking cessation and relapse prevention. One of the primary aims of smoking cessation counseling is to teach smokers how to talk to themselves in ways that will promote smoking cessation and relapse prevention. The use of hypnosis provides a way for the clinician to extend the process of teaching patients how to talk to themselves far beyond the constraints of the clinic setting. Hypnotic messages can be prepared that maintain a high level of interest and modified periodically to make sure that they are individually tailored to the most relevant issues. Hypnotic suggestions can be used that prompt planning for high-risk situations, provide coping statements and ideas, reassure the patient, and remind the ex-smoker of the reasons for staying abstinent.

description: The overwhelming majority of lung cancers (greater than 90 %) are caused by cigarette smoking. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States and more than 140,000 Americans died from lung cancer in 1999. Since January 1st 2000, more than 10,000 smokers in America have died from lung cancer. There are currently fifty million smokers in the U.S. and another fifty million ex-smokers. This means that approximately one third of the population of U.S. is at high risk for this terrible disease. With the existing therapy, patients with lung cancer have a poor prognosis. Less than 15 % of lung cancer patients survive more than 5 years. Failure of conventional therapies has led to an intensive search for new forms of treatment. Our research focuses on boosting the body’s immune system against lung cancer by utilizing secondary lymphoid chemokine (SLC) levels in the body. Chemokines, a group of homologous yet functionally divergent proteins, directly mediate leukocyte (a type of white blood cell) migration and activation and play a role in regulating angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels). Chemokines also function in maintaining our immune systems as well. SLC attracts certain immune cells - specifically dendritic cells and T lymphocytes - from the body that help fight cancer. This type of immunotheraputic treatment is able to completely cure cancer in mice. In order to develop SLC immunotherapy for lung cancer patients, this research focuses on specifically determining how this therapy works in animal models. The findings of this study can be taken from research laboratory to lung cancer clinical trials. Thus, results of this study may have a major impact on the treatment of patients with lung cancer.

description: The vasculature consists of the heart, blood vessels, and cells of the blood. The primary function of the vasculature is to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the tissues. This is accomplished by the flow of blood throughout the body. Cigarette smoke (CS) is directly linked to diseases of the vasculature including, heart attack, stroke and atherosclerosis. In fact, the Surgeon Generals report shows that smokers have more than a 70% greater risk for coronary artery disease than do non-smokers. Despite this connection, we still don’t know exactly how CS causes problems in the vasculature.

 One recent idea on the role of CS in vascular disease involves oxidant stress. Oxidant stress is a name for a chemical imbalance within the body that involves a specific type of chemical group, called an oxidant. There are many such “oxidants”, and it is widely believed that they are harmful. Over the past decade there has been an increased appreciation for the harmful effects of oxidants on the vasculature. Equally as important, it has become clear that the primary toxins within CS are a group of strong oxidants. Consequently, we believe that smoking causes widespread oxidant stress to the vasculature.

 We are most interested in testing the idea that oxidants in CS cause problems with cell adhesion in the vasculature. This laboratory has uncovered evidence that a specific protein on the surface of blood platelets, called Integrin aIIbb3, is susceptible to oxidant stress. Once oxidants have modified aIIbb3, the platelets adhere to the vessel wall, and can block the flow of blood through the vessel. Based on these observations, it is easy to envision how CS could lead to the clogging of arteries (atherosclerosis) and to heart attack.

 The outcome of our study is likely to shed light into exactly how cigarette smoking harms the vasculature. Our study may also lead to new methods of monitoring the extent of such damage, and new ways of preventing smoking induced coronary artery disease with antioxidants.

description: With nearly all managed care organizations (MCO’s) adopting quality measures relating to smoking cessation, the first goal for most MCO’s is to ensure that all patients are asked about smoking and that all smokers are counseled about quitting. Throughout the Veterans Health Administration those objectives have largely been achieved. Based on an external assessment, 96% of patients were asked about smoking within the past year, 90-95% of smokers were advised to quit, and 59% of smokers were counseled at least 3 times in the last year.

 Once smokers are routinely being identified and advised to quit, the big dilemma for many MCO’s is how to assist patients in quitting. There are a wide variety of possible models but little available evidence to help an MCO choose which is likely to be the most effective and what the relative costs are. While the literature suggests that organized smoking cessation programs are the most cost-effective approach, there is little consensus on what methods are most effective for getting patients to those programs. This proposal compares usual care (smoking cessation counseling by the primary care provider, often with referral to the smoking cessation clinic) to counseling facilitated by an on-call smoking cessation counselor. The rationale for the intervention is that the availability of the on-call counselor will decrease the amount of time that the physician needs to spend counseling the patient, thereby improving the provider’s efficiency. At the same time, the on-call counselor should be more successful at getting patients into the smoking cessation programs because he or she can spend more time counseling and has more expertise in counseling.

 Our main goal for the project is to determine whether the presence of an on-call counselor increases the number of people referred to a smoking cessation program. Our other goals are 1) to see whether smokers on the intervention team are more likely to quit, 2) to determine which approach is more cost-effective, and 3) to determine whether patients and providers are more satisfied with the on-call counselor approach.

description: Lung cancers are strongly associated with cigarette smoking. In order to understand how cigarette smoke components cause lung cancer and other smoking-related cancers, it is necessary to understand the sequence of molecular events that leads to formation of a tumor many years or decades later. According to current thinking, a number of genes need to be mutated or functionally disabled before a normal cell loses all normal growth control mechanisms and is brought onto a path of uncontrolled cell division eventually leading to a tumor. Gene mutation or inactivation has been found in genes such as p53, ras, and p16 at a relatively high frequency in human lung tumors.

 However, the most common and earliest genetic change in the development of lung tumors has been mapped to the short arm of chromosome 3, in an area designated as 3p21.3. At this location, a specific chromosomal area is often deleted in lung cancer, and sometimes even both copies of this chromosomal material are lost. This phenomenon usually points to the existence of a tumor suppressor gene, which needs to be lost or inactivated completely in order for a tumor to arise.

 We have cloned a new gene (named RASSF1) from the common chromosomal deletion area of chromosome 3p21.3 in lung tumors. The gene product has 50% homology to one other protein that interacts with the ras oncogene product. We do not know much about the function of this gene yet, except the following: 1) It is inactivated in a high percentage of human lung cancers (up to 80% of small cell carcinomas). 2) It suppresses cell growth and tumor formation when put back into lung cancer cells.

 We will investigate further how the RASSF1 gene is inactivated in different types of lung cancers and in head and neck tumors. We will try to define its biochemical function in the cell. Finally, in order to test its presumed function as a tumor suppressor, we will delete this gene in the mouse and see if these mice develop cancer.

 The study should increase our understanding of the mechanisms of lung cancer initiation. If the causes of smoking-associated cancers are better understood at the molecular level, more efficient early screening procedures and future gene therapy approaches may be developed.
