description: TRDRP and other funding agencies support investigations into the health effects of cigarette smoke inhaled directly or from environmental exposure. Laboratory animals are inevitably used as models for exploring the health effects caused by inhaling cigarette smoke despite concerns that particles deposit in animal airways quite differently than in human ones. But animal models are crucial to understanding the health effects of tobacco smoke because in vivo studies can be performed in such models that are not viable in human subjects. Since the location of particle deposition determines subsequent clearance and transport to other tissues, mapping particle deposition throughout the airways in laboratory animals is crucial to understanding the health effects that they cause and their relationship to that in humans, but such mapping has yet to be performed because methods for measuring the particle locations are not available.

 The long-term goal of the proposed research is to map the location of cigarette smoke particle deposition in the airways and disposition throughout the body. We have developed methods for reconstructing the airway tree from images, which will assist in this effort. We have also developed methods for imaging the location of particle deposition in laboratory animals, for particles that are fluorescently labeled. The goal of the current proposal is to map the location of Environmental Tobacco Smoke particles in airways of Sprague-Dawley rats. This mapping will assist a wide range of other investigators exploring the mechanisms whereby cigarette smoke harms respiratory health. It will also set the stage for subsequent studies of cigarette smoke particle transport to other organs and their subsequent health effects.

description: The Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights would like to request conference support for the Clearing the Air: An Institute for Policy Advocacy conference. This will be the 8th installment of the Clearing the Air Institute in California, where public health professionals, researchers, and advocates nationwide receive top level training and assistance from the nation's foremost tobacco control experts and researchers. This unique opportunity gives participants on-the-ground practical examples, data and resources to succeed in tobacco control and ultimately, to reduce the number of people in the U.S. with cancer and heart disease as a result of secondhand smoke exposure. The purpose of the Institute is to expand the capacity of smokefree advocates, researchers, and public health professionals and to sustain the movement nationwide. Our goal is to identify, cultivate, train, inspire, and connect the individuals who are new to the issue and send them back to their communities to work more effectively to reduce secondhand smoke exposure. We believe the Institute's activities and sessions are a core element in maintaining and expanding the movement and fostering a grassroots network across the country. Planning for the 8th Institute, which will take place May 5-8, 2013, is already underway. We project a total cost of $175,000 for 135 participants, which includes the usual conference materials, limited speakers' travel fees, participant accommodations and meals for four days. The overall cost of the Institute is quite low in comparison to other national conferences, when considering the all-inclusive package.

description: The Center for Policy Analysis on Trade and Health (CPATH) requests support in the amount of $5,000 to convene a statewide consortium meeting to establish a research agenda around tobacco and trade. International trade provides the tobacco industry with a global legal and regulatory arena to challenge federal, state, and local tobacco control measures. Tobacco and trade is a critically important part of tobacco control at the local, state, and national level, and will have a major impact on tobacco control efforts in the state of California. This statewide consortium meeting provides a timely and critical opportunity to develop a research agenda, and to identify key research questions that will inform public policy regarding how the tobacco industry can use trade rules to influence U.S. tobacco control laws and regulations that impact California, including the Tobacco Control Act.

C[icada] cinctomaculata Stål 1854: 243.
Carineta ciliaris Walker 1858a: 24.
Type locality. Venezuela.
Remarks. The species was reported to inhabit Argentina by Torres (1945a). These same specimens became part of the type series for his later described species P. haematodes (Torres 1960). As a result, the record for P. cinctomaculata is invalid and the species is removed from the cicada fauna of Argentina. This species has the greatest range of any species in the genus Pachypsaltria with specimens being reported from Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecudaor, and Venezuela (Metcalf 1963b; Sanborn 2007a; 2010a) but no confirmed records from Argentina.

description: Background The 2004 Institute of Medicine Report, In the Nation's Compelling Interest: Ensuring Diversity in the Health Care Workforce, clearly states that although the diversity of the United States is rapidly increasing, many minority racial/ethnic groups are under-represented in the health professions. Increasing diversity, particularly among researchers, may help to enhance the diversity of research environments and ultimately help improve global health. Purpose The Tobacco-Related Health Disparities Network of the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco (SRNT) has established as one of its goals to increase the diversity of its membership. Therefore, SRNT is committed to increasing the diversity of researchers who help to stimulate and generate new knowledge concerning nicotine in all its manifestations -- from the molecular to the societal level. The purpose of the Diversity Travel Scholarship program is to increase the diversity of researchers interested in nicotine and tobacco research by: 1) Providing travel support to attend the 2012 Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco 18th Annual Meeting and 2) Promoting collaboration and intergenerational and interdisciplinary networking. The scholarship program is a partnership between the American Legacy Foundation, the National Cancer Institute, the California Tobacco-Related Disease Research Program, and the Society for Research on Nicotine and Tobacco and is administered by the Tobacco-Related Health Disparities Network of SRNT.

Remarks. Distant (1892) listed Panama as habitat for the species. The reference to Argentina came in Metcalf (1963c) as a mistake when reading the table on page 55 of Distant’s article. Distant only makes reference to Panama for the species. A similar mistake appears to have been made in the same paper with respect to Proarna bergi inadvertently being attributed to Colombia in Metcalf’s catalog (Sanborn 2010a).

Torres (1944) argued that previous references to T. chilensis in Argentina were actually references to different or undescribed species. In his revision of the genus, Torres (1958a) records the species as restricted to central Chile and not part of the Argentine fauna.

description: Second hand smoke is a general health hazard, but second hand smoke is particularly hazardous to children. Second hand smoke is a major cause of respiratory tract infection, middle ear infection, asthma, respiratory problems requiring hospitalization, and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Infant passive smoking is the foremost modifiable risk factor for SIDS prevention. Epidemiology studies provide the basis for our understanding of the hazards of second hand smoke. Good epidemiology requires good dose exposure estimate. Cotinine is made from nicotine by the liver. Many epidemiology studies have used concentrations of cotinine in urine, blood or saliva to estimate second hand smoke exposure. Of note, cotinine levels are typically higher in children compared to adults exposed to second hand smoke, and often some infants and young children have levels consistent with active smoking. An important question is whether this represents much higher second hand smoke exposure, or whether children metabolize nicotine and/or cotinine differently from adults. This is a very important distinction from a public health perspective. To interpret cotinine levels in relation to nicotine exposure, one must understand the metabolism and elimination in individuals. Much research has been published (mostly from our laboratory) on the metabolism and kinetics of nicotine and cotinine in adults. We have also published a study of newborns. Virtually nothing is known about these issues in infants and children. There is reason to believe, based on other drugs, that nicotine and cotinine metabolism will change with age (comparing infants through early childhood). We propose novel research to characterize developmental changes in the metabolism of cotinine through early childhood. Seventy-two infants and children ages 2 months to 72 months will be given oral doses of cotinine. Urine and saliva samples will be collected for 10 days after the cotinine dose. From these data, we will calculate how fast cotinine is eliminated in infants and young children. Our results will be of directly utility in interpreting cotinine levels of children of different ages as biomarkers of second hand smoke exposure. In addition the general information to be gained on developmental changes in CYP2A6 enzyme activity (involved in the activation of a number of carcinogens, including some tobacco-specific nitrosamines) is relevant to understanding the impact of second hand smoke exposure in children to the development of cancer later in life.

description: Addiction to nicotine prevents tobacco users from quitting- and is the leading preventable cause of disease and premature death in America, contributing to greater than thirty percent of all cancer deaths. We have chosen to use the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) as a model to investigate molecular mechanisms underlying nicotine sensitivity and tolerance. C. elegans offers a number of advantages for these studies: it has a simple nervous system comprised of 302 neurons, and is extremely accessible to molecular and classical genetic approaches. There is no other model system which has the same complement of tools, which allow the researcher to move from gene to nervous system to behavior so rapidly; yet many of the basic mechanisms of nicotine response and tolerance are likely to be shared between nematodes and humans. It is reasonable to suppose that by understanding how nicotine exposure changes the functioning of the nervous system, and how these changes contribute to the development of addiction, therapeutic interventions can be developed which will aid in tobacco cessation. These studies should ultimately result in fewer deaths from tobacco-related cancers.

description: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Last year lung cancer caused more than 162,000 deaths in the US. Epidemiological studies show a strong correlation between tobacco smoking and lung cancer. There are currently fifty million smokers in the US and another fifty million former smokers. Thus, approximately one third of the US population is at high risk for this disease. With the existing therapeutic efforts, patients with lung cancer have a poor prognosis and only 15 % survive 5 years following diagnosis. Failure of conventional therapies has led to an intensive search for new forms of treatment. Our efforts to produce effective cancer therapy focuses on methods to restore immune deficits in lung cancer patients by utilizing specialized cells from the body known as dendritic cells that we genetically modify in our laboratory to secrete proteins called secondary lymphoid chemokine and interleukin-7. These therapeutic proteins when secreted from dendritic cells help mice reject lung cancer. Lung cancer patients have dramatically decreased numbers of circulating competent dendritic cells. To increase the numbers of dendritic cells in the cancer bearing host we will administer two proteins GMCSF and interleukin 4. We are performing experiments in our laboratory that will aid us in understanding this form of therapy in mice with lung cancer. The findings of this study can be taken from the 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: Chronic exposure to tobacco smoke leads to a large increase in the risk of development of lung cancer. It is well established that tobacco smoke contains chemicals that cause cancer, called carcinogens. Carcinogens act by causing damage to DNA and consequently a variety of genetic alterations. However, not every individual that has been exposed to the same amount of carcinogens through tobacco smoking develop lung cancer. Also some people suffer from lung cancer after a few years of smoking, while others develop cancer only after many years of heavy smoking. Thus additional factors, other than exposure to carcinogens, strongly modulate and affect the development of lung cancer. Based on previous work done in our laboratory we propose that one such additional factor is inflammation. We have shown that activation of inflammatory cells (such as macrophages and other phagocytes) makes an important and considerable contribution to the development of chemically-induced colon cancer and liver cancer. It is well established that tobacco smoke is full of irritants and various particles that can trigger an inflammatory response. Indeed, prolonged cigarette consumption results in chronic airway and lung inflammation. This inflammation can activate a regulatory protein called NF-kB that promotes the production of various growth factors and protects pre-malignant cells from surveillance mechanisms that keep the incidence of cancer low by killing cells that suffered DNA damage as a result of carcinogen exposure. We have previously shown that NF-kB plays a critical role in the development of colon and liver cancer and now we propose to examine its role in the development of lung cancer. We will use a mouse model of lung cancer in which cancer is induced by exposure to carcinogens and tobacco smoke. Genetic technology will be used to prevent the activation of NF-kB in either the epithelial cells of the lung or in inflammatory cells and the consequences of these manipulations on the development of lung cancer will be determined. We will also investigate the molecular mechanisms through which NF-kB contributes to cancer development in this model. These studies will provide us with critical and important information on the role of inflammation in lung cancer and should lay the foundations for new interventional strategies.

Tettigades lizeriana

description: Tettigades lizeriana Delétang, 1919
Tettigades lizeriana Delétang 1919: 88.
Type locality. Mendoza, Argentina.
Remarks. The species is reported from Mendoza (Delétang 1919). Torres (1958a) did not consider the species in his revision of Tettigades as the description is limited to a statement in a dichotomous key to distinguish T. lizeriana from T. chilensis Amyot & Audinet-Serville. The description was not complete nor was it illustrated, and the specimen on which the species was to be based was never seen by the curator of the collection where it was to be deposited. The whole description of T. lizeriana concerns the base of the seventh apical cell reaching beyond the middle of the eighth. Delétang (1919) stated that he had discovered a new species whose description was to be published did not consider the statement in the key to be the complete species description. Following Article 8.2 of the Code (ICZN 1999) the statement in Delétang (1919) that the description was to be published (“a publicarse”) strongly suggests that he was not publishing the name for the permanent scientific record. Recommendation B8 of the Code (ICZN 1999) states that names should not be established in keys as was the case for T. lizeriana. Since the name does not meet the criterion of Article 8.2, it does not meet the criterion of Articles 11.1 or 12.1 which makes the name unavailable under Article 10.1. Article 10.1.1 also applies in this case as Delétang (1919) did not supply all data for the new taxon and he expressly stated that he would publish the information in the future (“a publicarse”). The name is not available until all relevant Articles have been met. Since there was no additional work published with the full species description, the name is unavailable. Therefore, we suggest that Tettigades lizeriana Delétang, 1919 is an invalid name because it has not met the provisions for availability under the Code.

description: In 1897, Thomas A. Edison designed and built the first Projecting Kinetoscope.  Edison’s Kinetoscope was capable of projecting moving film images.  Prior to the development of the Projecting Kinetoscope, Edison developed the 1887 Kinetoscope that allowed one person at a time to peep into a self-contained Kinetoscope to view a 35 mm strip of celluloid film 50 feet long (at 15 frames per second, the film ran to 15 seconds).  The new Projecting Kinetoscope was based on some of the same technology as the old Kinetoscope, but incorporated a powerful light source, the “lamphouse,” that propelled images onto a screen.  The Projecting Kinetoscope's construction incorporated a great deal of the essential mechanism of the modern movie projector.The following circular contains information pertaining to the Exhibition Model Two-Pin Movement Mechanisms and Underwriter's Model Two-Pin Movement Mechanisms for Edison’s Projecting Kinetoscope.  Within the circular, information is provided to readers on how replacing the two-pin systems to one-pin systems could decrease the then persistent flicker prevalent throughout films of the time.  The change to one pin systems could be made for $25.00 at the time.  The circular describes special features of the one pin systems as well as a list of parts needed to change from a two-pin to a one-pin movement mechanism.

Tettigades porteri Brèthes 1920: 10.
Type locality. Chile.
Remarks. The species has been reported from Argentina and Chile (Metcalf 1963c; Duffels & van der Laan 1985). The reference to Argentina in Metcalf (1963c) is a mistake. Buenos Aires is mentioned at the end of Brèthes (1920) but as the site of publication of the article and not the collection site of specimens of the new species. Torres (1958a) also describes the species as endemic to Chile.

Tettigades ulnaria Distant 1906d: 64.
Type locality. Chile.
Remarks. The species has been reported from Argentina and Chile (Metcalf 1963c; Duffels & van der Laan 1985). Delétang (1919) reported the species in Mendoza and Río Negro Provinces in Argentina. Torres (1944) argued that Argentine references to T. ulnaria in Argentina were actually references to different or undescribed species and that the species was endemic to Chile. In his revision of the genus, Torres (1958a) has the species restricted to central Chile and not part of the Argentine fauna. The taxon is considered to have been misapplied and is not considered part of the Argentine cicada fauna.
