description: Cigarette smoking is the leading cause of premature deaths in the United States. A major contributor to the fatalities is increased heart disease caused by smoking. Nicotine is the primary drug in cigarette smoke that acts on molecules in the nervous system which controls cardiac output. These molecules, called nicotinic receptors, are proteins on the neuron surface and normally respond to chemicals released by other neurons at synapses. Nicotine, however, interacts more potently with the receptors and either can stimulate them or, in some cases, can produce long-lasting inactivation. Most interesting is an abundant class of nicotinic receptors in brain that is very efficient at letting calcium enter cells. The calcium, in turn, can activate a large array of calcium-dependent events in neurons, making the receptors potentially very important for a variety of physiological processes.

 Recent evidence indicates that similar receptors are prominent in the clusters of neurons found on the heart wall. These neuron clusters relay information from the brain and also act as a local neural circuit to regulate heart function. The experiments proposed here will examine the role of such nicotinic receptors in transmitting information from the nervous system to the heart, and will assess how chronic exposure to nicotine at levels encountered in the blood of smokers produces long-lasting impairment of these processes.

 The experimental approaches combine a number of techniques including the use of microelectrodes to measure electrical signals in rat cardiac neurons, the use of antibodies to study the composition of the receptors, and the use of fluorescent dyes to measure the influx of calcium into neurons. Direct visual monitoring of rhythmic heart contractions under the test conditions will also be performed to assess the overall impact of the receptors on neural control of heart function. In each experimental setting, the effects of nicotine will be examined to test the hypothesis that chronic exposure to the drug produces long-lasting inactivation of nicotinic receptors with developmental consequences for the heart. These studies will provide new insight into cellular and molecular mechanisms by which cigarette smoking can exacerbate heart disease. The information will be important for risk assessment by the public in considering acute effects such as cardiac arrhythmias, angina, and sudden cardiac arrest, as well as long-term dangers such as reduced cardiac output and endurance. Of greatest urgency is information about possible long-term consequences of nicotine exposure to the fetus during pregnancy. A direct clinical relevance of these studies is that they may suggest therapeutic strategies with drug combinations to lessen the risks and help restore balanced neural control of cardiac function.

description: Il saggio esplora il confronto tra Emmanuel Levinas e Jean-Paul Sartre riguardo all'antisemitismo e all'identità ebraica. Levinas prende le distanze dall'approccio di Sartre, presentato in Riflessioni sulla questione ebraica, mettendo in evidenza come Sartre riduca l'identità ebraica a una costruzione negativa prodotta dallo sguardo dell'antisemita. Al contrario, Levinas afferma una concezione dell'identità ebraica nell'etica, nella tradizione e in un rapporto profondo con il tempo e la storia, piuttosto che come semplice reazione all'odio e alla persecuzione. Attraverso Filosofia dell'hitlerismo e il testo Essere ebreo, il saggio analizza come Levinas sviluppa una concezione dell'essere ebreo che si oppone sia all'antisemitismo che alle filosofie esistenzialiste e politiche che ignorano la centralità dell'altro.

The essay explores the comparison between Emmanuel Levinas and Jean-Paul Sartre regarding antisemitism and Jewish identity. Levinas distances himself from Sartre’s approach, as presented in Reflections on the Jewish Question, highlighting how Sartre reduces Jewish identity to a negative construction produced by the antisemite’s gaze. In contrast, Levinas asserts a conception of Jewish identity rooted in ethics, tradition, and a profound relationship with time and history, rather than merely as a reaction to hate and persecution. Through an examination of The Philosophy of Hitlerism and the text Being Jewish, the essay explores how Levinas develops a concept of Jewish being that opposes both antisemitism and existentialist and political philosophies that ignore the centrality of the Other.

description: Although much has been learned about smoking patterns, programming, and barriers to program delivery among hearing youth, little has been learned about young people who are deaf. Deaf Californians of all ages have been largely ignored in terms of tobacco- related research, despite the fact that there are not only more deaf or hard-of-hearing persons (2.3 million) in California than there are Native American/ Eskimo/Aleut (24,000) or African Americans (2.1 million), and nearly as many as the State's entire population of Asian and Pacific Islanders (2.7 million), but also the number of deaf children has increased in the past ten years. Such research is needed. Many of those who are deaf define themselves as members of a Deaf community with a unique language and culture. This makes it very likely that Deaf young people will have little access to programs that target those who can hear, and that smoking patterns and program needs are different in this community than in the hearing world.

 Communication, language, and other barriers have hindered collection of information about tobacco use. In order to take the first step towards developing effective programs for this populat-ion, we propose to conduct in-person interviews among 500 deaf children, adolescents, and young adults in California residential and day schools for the Deaf, and in programs for the Deaf in mainstream schools and colleges, where Deaf youth go to school with those who can hear. We will use a specially designed innovative interactive video questionnaire technology, the Interactive Video Questionnaire (IVQ) to conduct the survey. This computer system will allow us to communicate in all of the languages that Deaf people use. Through these interviews we will learn about the tobacco-related knowledge, attitudes, and practices of this population, about exposure to anti-tobacco programs, and about the views that young Deaf people have regarding ways to deliver smoking prevention and cessation education effectively. We will also conduct telephone interviews with administrators of residential and day schools for the Deaf, and of mainstream schools and colleges in California to learn about anti-tobacco programs that are already available, and about what these educators believe programming needs to be. Finally we will conduct focus groups among deaf children, adolescents, and young adults, in order to review our findings and make specific recommendations about culturally sensitive programs tailored to the language and other needs of this underserved population. These programs can help prevent smoking among young people who are deaf, and can encourage smoking cessation among young deaf tobacco users. Thus, this project is directly relevant to TRDRP research priorities which focus on prevention and cessation of tobacco use among all California youth.

description: In the first step in the biology of nicotine addiction, molecules of nicotine touch "receptor molecules" on cells in the brain. The receptors start a chain of chemical and electrical events that we do not yet understand. If we understood them, perhaps we could avoid or cure nicotine addiction. We wish to use genetic engineering to address this problem. We shall breed mice whose nicotine receptors are much more sensitive than usual. Will these mice be addicted to nicotine before ever experiencing nicotine? Will these mice never become addicted to nicotine? Will their brain cells act normally or differently? We will study the behavior of these mice and we will also measure the electrical properties of their brain cells. We think that this procedure will provide new insights into the events that lead to nicotine addiction.

description: Conostigmus pergandei (Ashmead, 1893)
Fig. 39
Species Comments and History. Ashmead (1893) described this species from a single male specimen collected in Washington, D.C. The specimen is deposited in the USNM, and is point-mounted and in good condition except that the left antenna is missing the last two flagellomeres and the right antenna is missing last four flagellomeres. Masner and Muesebeck (1968) report the damages to the right antenna but not the left antenna, which must have happened since they examined the specimens.
The specimen has the sternaulus absent and the facial pit, preoccipital furrow, and mesopostscutellum present. The specimen is Dendrocerus -like in that the metapleural sulcus appears arched. The tip of the harpe is protruding and looks simple and blunt in shape, but we were not able to confirm any other male genitalia characters.
The two Nearctic species that most resemble this species are C. duncani and C. orcasensis, which both also have the facial pit, preoccipital furrow, and mesopostscutellum present and the sternaulus absent. Both species also have the harpe simple and blunt in shape. The metapleural sulcus can be straight or arched among specimens of C. duncani; because C. pergandei (arched) and C. orcasensis (straight) are only known by single specimens, it is uncertain whether this intraspecific variation occurs in these species as well.
There appear to be differences in flagellomere length and antennal ratios between the three species, with C. pergandei having much shorter flagellomeres than the other two species, but we were not able to measure the type specimen of C. pergandei to compare. Conostigmus duncani and C. orcasensis can only be differentiated by male genitalia characters, and we were not able to dissect out the male genitalia of C. pergandei or locate any other specimens. We consider Conostigmus pergandei as a species inquirenda.

description: The study investigated the effects of guided scoring instructional strategy (GSIS) on the achievement of secondary school students in mathematics: the school type perspective. Background: When the scoring pattern is guided, it is likely to result in uniformity of scoring of students’ work and involvement of students in their own assessment. GSIS may or may not have effect on the school type, since schools are usually either for female only, male only or mixed (coeducational). Aims: The study specifically sought to find out the effects of the GSIS on students based on school type. Methods: The design of the study was quasi-experimental, utilizing pre-test, post-test groups. A sample of 336 senior secondary class one students were chosen from a population of 3,111 from three (3) school types in Owerri municipal council, Imo State, Nigeria. The simple random sampling technique was used for selecting the experimental students while purposive sampling technique was used for selecting the 3 experimental schools. One research question and four hypotheses guided the study. Data obtained from pre-test and post-test were statistically analyzed using mean and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results: The results showed that there was difference in the effects of guided scoring instructional strategy (GSIS) on students in different school types with female school having the highest effect. Conclusion: School type is a factor in students’ achievement with GSIS. The strategy was recommended to be used in all school types to enhance secondary school teaching and learning outcomes

Species Comments and History. Ashmead (1893) described this species from a single female specimen collected in Manhattan, Kansas. The specimen is deposited in the USNM, and is point-mounted and in relatively good condition, although there is dirt and dust on the specimen, which can obscure characters. The female has the preoccipital furrow present and the sternaulus absent. The female type specimen bears a close resemblance to C. duncani, C. orcasensis and C. pergandei, which are all known only by male specimens, and it could be the female matching one of these species. Unfortunately, the female type specimen of C. popenoei remains the only known specimen of its species; we were unable to locate any additional females or male specimens that match this species. For now, we consider Conostigmus popenoei as a species inquirenda.

description: Atherosclerosis is a disease that blocks blood flow in all the vessels in the body. When this occurs in the heart, it leads to a heart attack. High levels of cholesterol in the blood increase everyone's risk for the development of this disease. People who smoke have higher levels of cholesterol in their blood and a significantly higher risk for the development of atherosclerosis and heart attacks. Cholesterol is transported in the blood in large cholesterol-rich particles called lipoproteins. These lipoproteins contain a protein called apoE. The liver is the only organ in the body that can break down cholesterol and remove it from the body. ApoE protein is essential to get cholesterol out of the blood and to the liver. Normal laboratory animals have apoE protein in their blood and do not get atherosclerosis. We have experimental animals (called apoE-deficient mice) who have no apoE in their blood. These mice have high cholesterol levels and develop severe atherosclerosis. Other researchers have shown that a single injection of apoE protein into animals can reduce blood cholesterol. Our laboratory has designed a smaller synthetic form of the apoE protein called a synthetic apoE peptide. When this synthetic apoE peptide is injected into the hypercholesterolemic apoE-deficient mice, transport of cholesterol to the liver is increased and cholesterol in the blood is decreased. It is now important to determine if repeated administration of this synthetic apoE peptide into laboratory animals can maintain the lowered levels of cholesterol and thus reduce atherosclerosis. This project will also identify the characteristics of the synthetic apoE peptide that enable it to lower cholesterol so that a safe and effective drug can be designed for use in people with high cholesterol. It is important for tobacco users to quit so that the cholesterol in their blood is reduced, but not everyone will be able to quit. Furthermore, some may have existing atherosclerotic disease from previous long term use of tobacco. Studies of the synthetic apoE peptide could lead to the development of a safe and effective drug for lowering cholesterol and thus lower the risk of heart attacks in smokers.

description: While cigarette smoking has declined, 1994 saw the first increase in U.S. cigar consumption since 1970, and the trend has continued upward. The largest growing segment of new cigar smokers is persons 26-38 years old, suggesting a trend toward younger smokers. Scientific studies have linked cigar smoking to increased risks for several cancers and also show that cigars emit considerably more harmful pollution into the air then cigarettes. Yet cigars remain unregulated by the Food and Drug Administration and other public health agencies.

 The reasons for the increase in cigar use are unclear, but media coverage and interest in cigars appear to be increasing, and few articles in newspapers or magazines appear to discuss health effects. Cigar industry spokespersons suggest that the reason for the trend lies in “internal” or personal factors such as independent thinking and revolt against “healthy” recommendations. This study will examine the roles of two “external” factors in promoting cigar smoking as a socially popular behavior: print/Internet media coverage and images, and the efforts of the tobacco industry.

 In this study, we will:

 1) track and compare trends over the past decade (1987-1997) in cigar advertising, cigar sales, and number of cigar-related newspaper and magazine articles;

 2) analyze the content of all articles discussing cigars in the five largest-circulation daily California newspapers, the five largest-circulation daily U.S. news-papers, and all U.S. magazines published during the 1987-1997 period;

 3) analyze cigar advertising and cigar images in a sample of U.S. magazines, including general-circulation magazines with the highest incidence of cigar-focused stores, young-adult-oriented magazines, and two smoking magazines, Cigar Aficionado and Smoke;

 4) study and classify current cigar-related sites on the World Wide Web;

 5) examine the role of the tobacco industry in contributing to media (print/Internet) coverage of cigars. This will include (a) analyzing documents from the Tobacco Control Archives at UCSF Library, (b) analyzing materials from the cigar industry, and (c) interview journalists about their sources of information for cigar-related articles.

 We will use these findings to develop policy recommendations to decrease cigar smoking. Depending upon our findings, these specific policy recommendations will provide useful guidance for legislators, public health officials, journalists, and /or media consumers.
Case studies of indoor air regulations: role of research

description: The purpose of the proposed project is to provide information to policy makers, researchers, and the public health community that will help them more effectively use the scientific data on tobacco to guide the development and acceptance of tobacco control policies. In order to examine the roles of research and lay press coverage of research in the formation of policy, we will conduct case studies of four passive smoke policies:

 1) Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Indoor Air Quality Regulation (pending).

 2) Maryland regulation prohibiting smoking in all enclosed workplaces (final).

 3) Washington Clean Indoor Air Law prohibiting smoking in most enclosed workplaces (final).

 4) California Indoor Air Regulation (not yet drafted). For this early stage of regulation, we will assess the risk assessments of secondhand smoke conducted by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) which are required to precede any proposed regulation.

 These policies represent both federal and state level actions and vary in their degree of comprehensiveness and rate of formation.

 In another project, we are examining the following aspects of each case study: 1) the scientific evidence-base for each regulation, 2) the extent and content of the tobacco industry's, public health and research communities' responses to each regulation, and 3) the extent and content of newspaper coverage of each regulation.

 The proposed project will complete the analysis and dissemination of the findings from these case studies through the following specific aims:

 1) To provide a description of the context of each regulation by describing the administrative rulemaking process for each regulation, including a description of the agency procedure for consideration, publication and comment; describing the content and outcomes of legal challenges or appeals made during the rule-making procedure or following promulgation of the regulation; and providing summary data about indoor air regulations from other states.

 2) To describe the extent and content of electronic media coverage of each regulation (including television, radio and internet coverage).

 3) To prepare a guide for researchers and public health agencies that will provide specific advice on how to optimize the use of their research to influence policy. The guide will also suggest an agenda for more policy-oriented research, including the development of the information base necessary to counter anticipated attacks on the scientific merits of tobacco control measures.

description: Children exposed to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) have problems with cough, phlegm, and respiratory illnesses. C-fibers are nerves in the lung which, when stimulated, cause chest discomfort, cough, phlegm, and airway narrowing; these responses are thought to protect the lung from damage from noxious substances. C-fibers are known to be stimulated by mainstream smoke. Thus if ETS also stimulates C-fibers, some of the symptoms experienced by children such as cough and phlegm may be due to ETS directly stimulating C-fibers. However, this would not explain the increased respiratory illnesses in children exposed to ETS. We suggest that the initial vigorous reflex response to ETS declines with continued ETS exposure resulting in impaired pulmonary protective responses. If such is the case, there are two important consequences: 1) other injurious agents such as ozone and respiratory viruses may be able to cause more damage to the lungs of ETS-exposed children than to the lungs of children not exposed to ETS, and 2) children of smokers are more likely to become smokers themselves since their first exposure to mainstream smoke may be less uncomfortable.

description: This letter commends William McCoy, a fellow townsman. It is dated August 2nd, 1861.The original is in the Miss Emma A. McCoy papers from 1861-1940, located in the New Brunswick Free Public Library.William H. Seward (5/16/1801~10/10/1872) served as the 12th Governor of New York, United States Senator and Secretary of State under Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. He was a contender against Lincoln for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in 1860, but became a loyal member of Lincoln’s cabinet in the years that followed. There was an attempted assassination on Seward the same night that Lincoln himself was assassinated; he was stabbed repeatedly in the face and neck, but recovered.Theodore Frelinghuysen (3/28/1787~4/12/1862) served as NJ Attorney General, US Senator and mayor of Newark, NJ. Ran for Vice President alongside Henry Clay. He was the 7th President of Rutgers College between 1850 and 1862.William McCoy was likely a relative of Emma A. McCoy, among whose papers this letter was found. Emma Augusta McCoy (1861~1940) was a school supervisor, connected with public schools in Somerset and Middlesex Counties for decades, a member of many women’s clubs and a supporter of women’s suffrage.Transcript:New BrunswickAugust 2nd, 1961The Hon.William H.

Cardiovascular responses to nicotine

description: We propose to extend our initial studies on the receptors and neural pathways through which nicotine and related compounds exert their actions at the level of the spinal cord. The spinal cord integrates sensory stimuli from the periphery through reflexes and manifests these stimuli in autonomic (i.e., cardiovascular) and motor responses. Signals are sent to higher centers of the brain to modulate spinal actions. Substantial evidence suggests that these responses are either transmitted or amplified through acetylcholine acting on spinal nicotinic receptors. These receptors are on nerve endings and amplify the release of other neurotransmitter. Thus, nicotine stimulates the various spinal pathways that control blood pressure, heart rate, and certain sensory responses. The actions of nicotine at the level of the spinal cord mimic the cholinergic amplification and give rise to increased blood pressure, heart rate, and irritation. These responses and their alteration with chronic nicotine use may be associated with cardiovascular disease.

 We have approached the action of nicotine in the spinal cord at several levels. The first involves implantation of catheters into the spinal column of rats and injection of nicotine at various segmental levels of the spinal cord. Blood pressure, heart rate and irritation responses are monitored in the rat. Hence this provides a means of monitoring integrated responses of the animal. Cellular responses to nicotine will be monitored by implanting microdialysis tubing in the spinal column and measuring the release of neurotransmitter. The receptors themselves are defined through the specificity of binding of nicotine and related compounds in specified regions of the spinal cord. We have also devised methods to detect and localize the messenger RNA encoding the receptor subunits. This approach, along with the identification of the subunits with specific antibodies, provides a means for localizing the nicotinic receptors and determining their subunit compositions in various regions of the spinal column and in the spinal roots.

 Our proposed project, which extends from monitoring responses in the animal to detailed molecular events, should provide a comprehensive analysis of nicotine's action in relation to the relevant pathways in the spinal cord. This study should contribute substantially to understanding the deleterious effects of chronic nicotine use on the cardiovascular system.

description: Conostigmus subinermis (Kieffer, 1907)
Species Comments and History. Johnson and Musetti (2004) listed this species as having a Holarctic distribution, but this appears to be a mistake. Kieffer (1907) described two species, subinermis and nigriceps, from female specimens collected in Italy. Dessart (1972a) later synonymized nigriceps with subinermis, but again, there is no mention of North American specimens. Dessart (1972a) notes the unique shape of the mesosoma, and mentions, “elle sera redécrite en détail dans une autre note” (pg. 28), but it appears that he never did publish another note on the species. His writing indicates that he viewed Kieffer’s type specimens, but does not mention where he viewed them (Dessart, 1972a). The location of the specimens is currently unknown, and we were not able to verify the identity of the species or confirm its presence in the Nearctic. We consider Conostigmus subinermis as only a Palearctic species at this time.

description: Second-hand cigarette smoke has been implicated as a cause of increased illness and death. This study will determine the molecular mechanisms by which second-hand cigarette smoke makes “bad cholesterol" (the low density lipoproteins also known as LDL) even worse by promoting their oxidation in the artery wall. This study will also explore the molecular mechanisms by which second-hand cigarette smoke makes the "good cholesterol" (the high density lipoproteins also known as HDL) lose its protective effect and even make it another form of "bad cholesterol”. The net result of these changes induced by second-hand cigarette smoke is to accentuate the inflammatory response that directly causes heart attacks. These studies will provide important scientific evidence to strengthen the public resolve to eliminate second-hand cigarette smoke from public areas in California.
