description: The initiation and progression of human breast tumors involves a wide spectrum of known, suspected, and undiscovered genetic alterations. Thus, it is believed that tumor cells are genetically different from the surrounding normal breast cells. One potential approach to detect, analyze, and enumerate these genetic differences in breast cancer is to use a technique of DNA fingerprinting. We plan to use this technique to provide a comprehensive view of the role of known genetic aberrations in breast tumorigenesis and to facilitate the identification, mapping and eventual isolation of novel cancer genes. Our specific detection method is termed ‘Arbitrarily Primed PCR’ (AP-PCR). This is an unbiased method, which generates a profile of quantitative differences between the tumor and corresponding (from the same patient) normal tissues. We call it quantitative allelotype or ‘amplotype’. This ‘amplotype’ reflects tumor-specific changes of different DNA segments randomly distributed throughout the genome, and the chromosomal origin of the fingerprint bands can be easily determined. We have previously used this method to analyze colon cancer, where progression is closely associated with specific genetic defects.

 Our experimental approach features three specific aims. First, about 100 human breast tumors with corresponding normal tissues will be analyzed by AP-PCR fingerprinting, which is anticipated to yield a ‘fingerprint’ of about 500 different DNA pieces (bands). Each difference between the matched tumor and normal sample will be linked to a chromosomal site and will be scored either as an allelic (genetic) loss, allelic gain, or structural change. Secondly, the extent (genetic damage index) and spectrum of genetic alterations will be determined for each tumor. Thus, we will compare breast tumors from different patients. Our goal is to associate these genetic aberrations with specific biological and clinical parameters. Finally, a sub-chromosomal map of recurrent genetic aberrations will be determined. These maps will then be compared with known genetic regions for breast cancer development. Our goal is to identify novel genetic aberrations for further study. Our experimental approach directly studies samples from breast cancer patients. It should provide a comprehensive view of the role of known genetic aberrations in breast tumorigenesis and facilitate the identification, mapping and eventual isolation of novel cancer genes.

Cicada (Taphura) Stål 1862: 20.
TYPE SPECIES. Cicada misella Stål 1854: 243 (Brazil, Minas Gerais).
REMARKS. The genus was recently revised with a number of new species added including one new species and two new records from Bolivia (Sanborn 2017a). All species are relatively small (body length 6–18 mm) and males generally possess elaborate genitalia that permit species to be diagnosed easily. This is the only genus of the Taphurini found in Bolivia after the reassignment of Selymbria by Marshall et al. (2018) to its own tribe.
DISTRIBUTION. The genus is found over much of South America including references to Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Panama, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad & Tobago, and Venezuela (Metcalf 1963c; Duffels & van der Laan 1985; Sanborn 2011a; 2013; 2016b; 2017a; 2018c; Sanborn & Heath 2014).

description: The New Jersey Climate Adaptation Alliance is developing a compendium of state and local public policy recommendations to enhance climate change reparedness in New Jersey. As part of that effort, the Alliance solicited insight and recommendations through various methods to better understand how specific sectors in New Jersey perceive climate change impacts and how these sectors are prepared for the potential effects. The findings through this process will help the Alliance to identify specific policy changes that are needed within the public health sector so the sector can better prepare and respond to the public health needs that may develop as a result of a changing climate.New Jersey's public health sector covers a broad range of needs and responsibilities, including from within the private, non-profit and government sectors. The  process for researching this paper includes a focus group, an online survey, and one-on-one interviews but does not include an extensive or comprehensive literature review. It includes a discussion of perceptions of climate change impacts, perceptions of sectoral preparedness, as well as recommendations.

The Role of a Novel Estrogen Receptor in Breast Cancer

description: One of the major challenges facing breast cancer research today is developing and testing more effective chemoprevention systems, mainly through pharmacological means. Tamoxifen (Tam), a synthetic anti-estrogen, is widely used for the treatment of breast cancer. The administration of Tam to patients with node negative breast cancer induces substantial regression of the tumor and an increase in disease-free survival. The use of Tam was initially restricted to women with estrogen-receptor (ER)-positive tumors. For a number of years, it has been postulated that estrogen and anti-estrogens may have biological effects that are independent of the estrogen receptor.

 About 50% of post-menopausal breast cancer patients who are ER-positive (ER+) benefit from anti-estrogen therapy. However, several aspects of this hormonal therapy are still puzzling. There are a large number of ER+ breast cancer patients who do not respond to anti-estrogens. Many patients who initially respond to anti-estrogen therapies eventually acquire anti-estrogen resistance, despite retention of the ER in many of the tumor cells. There are a large number of ER-negative patients who benefit from anti-estrogen treatments. Thus, the simple presence of the classical ER status is insufficient to recommend anti-estrogen treatment and the simple absence of the classical ER is not sufficient to recommend against anti-estrogen therapy. One current working hypothesis is that the expression of ER variants, which are incomplete ER molecules, can suppress the normal function of the ER. This hypothesis has yet to be proven.

 Another exciting hypothesis has very recently emerged that may explain the apparently anomalous behavior of some breast cancer tumors with regards to their response to anti-estrogen treatments. A new ER coded by an entirely different gene than the classical ER, has recently been identified. This new ER is now termed ER-b. We have shown that this ER- b is expressed in normal breast and tumor tissue, and it is up-regulated after 48 hours of estrogen treatment. We hypothesize that this new ER- b is a player in suppression or induction of the normal ER- a function. The proposed studies should provide valuable information regarding the role of ER- b, help predict the tumor response to anti-estrogen therapy, and identify those patients that are likely to benefit from anti-estrogen treatment.

description: The enactment of federal and state coastal legislation gave New Jersey the opportunity to develop and implement a coastal zone management program. Presently, four key laws govern activities in New Jersey's tidelands and uplands:. Riparian Statutes, the Wetlands Act of 1970, the Coastal Area Facility Review Act of 1973, and the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972. Together, these acts provide several mechanisms designed to balance the economic and social pressures facing the coastal zone with the protection and preservation of a healthy natural coastal and marshland system. This report describes the major features of these four coastal laws and explains how they affect human activities where the land meets the sea in New Jersey.

Lagenorhynchus

description: Genus Lagenorhynchus Gray, 1846
Of the six species recognized in the genus, only L. obliquidens inhabits the North Pacific Ocean. Based on cytochrome b gene analysis, LeDuc et al. (1999) regarded Lagenorhynchus as polyphyletic and suggested splitting the genus into three genera, Lagenorhynchus Gray, 1846; Leucoplearus Gray, 1866; and Sagmatias Cope, 1866. LeDuc et al. (1999) recommended placing L. obscurus, L. obliquidens, L. cruciger, and L. australis in the Genus Sagmatias. However, Mead and Brownell (2005) proposed relegating two of the genera as a subgenera of Lagenorhynchus. However, Sagmatias appeared polyphyletic by analysis of nuclear genes (McGowen et al. 2009). Lagenorhynchus obscurus and L. obliquidens were separated from the L. cruciger — L. australis group, which were more closely related to Cephalorhynchus. Although some taxonomists recognized Sagmatias as a distinct genus (Murakami et al. 2014), the IUCN Red List still uses the Mead and Brownell (2005) taxonomy for Lagenorhynchus (Hammond et al. 2012). Since marine biologists have not reached an agreement on this genus, we have followed the taxonomy of Mead and Brownell (2005).

description: Lagenorhynchus obliquidens Gill, 1865 —Pacific White-sided Dolphin
Lagenorhynchus obliquidens Gill, 1865 p.177; Type locality- San Francisco, US; Kuroda, 1938 p.17; Won, 1968 p.222; Kim et al., 2000 p.98; Kim, 2004 p.244.
Range: Most observations of Pacific white-sided dolphins occur during early summer to late autumn over the continental shelf in the East Sea of Korea, especially the central to northern regions (Sohn et al. 2012; Fig. 100).
Remarks: Consistent genetic differences of mtDNA and microsatellite persisted between individuals from the East Sea and offshore North Pacific Ocean. Microsatellite alleles indicated that the Pacific white-sided dolphins in these two areas belong to different populations with severely restricted gene flow. The low genetic diversity and mtDNA genealogy of the populations in the East Sea implied an origin from a small population that colonized the East Sea or experienced population reduction when this sea became isolated from the North Pacific Ocean during a glacial period in the Late Pleistocene (Hayano et al. 2004). The Pacific white-sided dolphin appears morphologically similar to the dusky dolphin (Lagenorhynchus obscurus) in the southern Pacific Ocean. Genetic analysis indicated that the two species diverged about 2 Mya. Both have been traditionally placed in the Genus Lagenorhynchus, but molecular studies showed L. obliquidens was closer to the Genus Cephalorhynchus than L. obscurus. Shirihai and Jarrett (2006) proposed the new Genus Sagmatia s for these species. However, the Pacific white-sided dolphin remains classified as a monotype species.

description: Taphura demissa Sanborn, 2017a
Taphura demissa Sanborn 2017a: 464. (Sara Province, Bolivia)
REMARKS. The male genitalia, particularly the shape of the claspers, quickly separate male specimens of all species of Taphura as each species has highly unique genitalia. This species can be distinguished from T. hastifera and T. nitida by the infuscation on the apex of the fore wings in these species. The male genitalia of T. demissa are similar to T. nitida at first glance but the claspers have a recurved spine near the bend in T. demissa. The simple male genitalia, very short claspers, U-shaped female sternite VII and infuscation in the middle of hind wing anal cell 3 distinguish this species from T. demissa which has extended male claspers, a V-shaped notch in female sternite VII, and lacks infuscation in the middle of hind wing anal cell 3 (Sanborn 2017a).
DISTRIBUTION. The species has been reported only from Bolivia (Sanborn 2017a).

REMARKS. A wide ranging species that is often common in collections. The claspers diverge laterally from their base and form a claw-like terminus. The basal pygofer lobes are reduced. The species can be distinguished from T. demissa and T. misella by the lack of infuscation on the apex of the fore wing in these species. This species can be distinguished from T. nitida by the transverse piceous band on the anterior abdominal tergites and the drooping claspers of T. nitida (Sanborn 2017a).
DISTRIBUTION. The species ranges over much of South America. It is currently known from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela (Metcalf 1963c; Sanborn 2013; 2017a; 2018c; Sanborn & Heath 2014).

description: A variety of citizen-based volunteer monitoring programs have begun to actively collect water quality and aquatic resource data in New Jersey. Although the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJ DEP) has not officially endorsed any of these citizen monitoring programs, it has expressed an interest in utilizing some of the data collected by volunteers. To that end, in 1994 the NJ DEP contracted the New Jersey Marine Sciences Consortium to assist with development of a base of knowledge related to volunteer monitoring efforts underway in the state.The New Jersey Volunteer Monitoring Project convened a statewide workshop on May 5 and 6, 1995. The workshop was designed to bring together appropriate state and federal agency representatives, selected scientists, and coordinators of citizen volunteer monitoring programs, watershed associations, and environmental commissions to facilitate an exchange of ideas, methods, and protocols pertinent to designing, implementing and managing volunteer monitoring efforts in New Jersey. The two-day workshop included discussion of the following: role of citizen volunteer monitoring in pollution control and watershed management; essential ingredients for designing and implementing successful monitoring programs; ways to manage programs; techniques and ideas for hands-on training; opportunities to network and exchange information with managers of other programs; and facilitating partnerships between citizen volunteer monitoring programs and the NJ DEP.

description: BRCA2 was the second breast cancer susceptibility gene to be discovered, and it serves to repair DNA breaks along with another protein, called RAD51. The BRCA2-RAD51 interaction is essential for the DNA repair. In cancer cells, if this interaction is disrupted, the cell will become hypersensitive to DNA damage agent treatment. Therefore, this interaction may provide an ideal target for developing novel specific anti-cancer drugs.

 Our preliminary studies have identified two small compounds, IBR1 and IBR2 that disrupt the BRCA2-Rad51 interaction. Furthermore, these compounds can inhibit breast cancer cell growth and induce hypersensitivity of breast cancer cells toward irradiation or cisplatin treatment. Therefore, we plan to modify these compounds and improve their effectiveness. First, a “library” of the small molecules will be designed and constructed by a combined approach of rational drug design and combinatorial synthesis. Then, a high-throughput screening for these second generation compounds will be carried out in pursuing more potent drug candidates. These successful candidates will be revalidated using various assays and a structure-activity relationship will be established. We plan to do much of our drug screening in yeast using the “two-hybrid” system. Then, we will screen active compounds for potency in cell growth assays. Finally, lead compounds will be tested for their synergistic effects with ionizing radiation and cisplatin.

 Our primary goal is to modify the small compounds IBR1 and IBR2 so that they can disrupt the BRCA2-RAD51 interaction more efficiently. This may provide a new strategy in breast cancer treatment. Because IBR1 and IBR2 make the cancer cell hypersensitive to irradiation, a combinatory therapy with IBR1 or IBR2 can be developed, which will be more effective and tolerable than before.

REMARKS. An oddity in the genus in the male genitalia are reduced. The species can be distinguished from T. hastifera and T. nitida by the infuscation on the apex of the fore wings in these species. The simple male genitalia, very short claspers, U-shaped female sternite VII and infuscation in the middle of hind wing anal cell 3 distinguish this species from T. demissa which has extended male claspers, a V-shaped notch in female sternite VII, and lacks infuscation in the middle of hind wing anal cell 3 (Sanborn 2017a).
DISTRIBUTION. The species has been reported from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and French Guiana (Metcalf 1963c; Sanborn 2013; Sanborn & Heath 2014).

description: The history of total fish and shellfish landings in the two states (New York and New Jersey) that form the landward boundaries of New York Bight is a history of change. Resource after resource has produced maximum landings, then declined. Total landings dropped from about 315,000 metric tons in 1956 to about 23,000 in 1967 and have risen only moderately since that lime. The rise and fall of the industrial fisheries , mostly menhaden, was responsible for most of this decline, and this has masked trends in the food fisheries.Altogether about 132 species or groups of species of fishes and invertebrates have been reported as landed in New Jersey or New York since 1880. Fifty of these are discussed and illustrated with figures and tables of landings. Edible finfish species as a group reached peak landings in 1939 and declined fairly steadily to about one-third that level in the 1970s. Molluscan and crustacean shellfish production reached two peaks in 1950 and 1966, the second considerably higher than the first. This recovery of shellfish landings in 1966 would not have occurred were it not for the rapid development of the surf clam fishery in the 1950s.The timing of the declines makes it clear that foreign fishing was not the cause, for foreign fishing probably could not have affected the fisheries of New York Bight before the mid-1960s. Actually, total catches of resources taken only by domestic fishermen hove declined more sharply than total domestic catches of species shared with foreign fleets. Foreign fishing is but a symptom of the troubles of the domestic fisheries, some of which are imagined. The ills of the domestic fisheries ore economic and sociopolitical, and they will not yield easily to scientific solutions.
Does the BLM Gene Co-regulate BRCA1 in DNA Damage Response?

description: Several years ago, a model was proposed that divided cancer susceptibility genes into two categories, those that (i) prevented inappropriate cell growth, and (ii) protected the genome. The first were termed "gatekeepers", which reflected their ability to prevent uncontrolled growth. These genes often are classical tumor suppressor genes like the Retinoblastoma gene Rb. The second class of genes was called "caretakers", which serve to maintain normal function of the "gatekeeper" genes. BRCA1 and BLM (i.e, the gene mutated in Bloom's syndrome (BS), which has DNA helicase activity) are considered "gatekeeper" genes. Yet, how they preserve the genome is not well understood. Cells from persons with Bloom's syndrome display excessive numbers of DNA exchanges, both between and within chromosomes, as well as a high frequency of somatic mutations. This project examines the critical role that BLM may play in the regulation of BRCA1 and directly examines whether the inactivation of BLM may contribute to breast cancer.

 Our preliminary results, obtained in fibroblasts, indicate that BLM prevents cell death when cells encounter DNA damage during replication of the genome. The first project aim will examine whether inactivation of BLM in mammary epithelial cells results in drug hypersensitivity similar to observed in BS fibroblasts. A central question in this aim is how BLM and BRCA1 interact to maintain genomic stability. To test this question we will abolish BLM activity in mammary epithelial cells through retroviral transfer of DN BLM. We will compare the response of wt and BLM-deficient epithelial cells to DNA damage during S-phase. Also, investigate whether loss of both BLM and BRCA1 leads to a synergistic response to DNA damage. The second project aim will examine proteins that may modify BLM and BRCA1, and which may be required for their interaction and/or function. Using both in vitro and in vivo biochemical assays, we will examine whether BLM is a substrate for ATM or/and ATR, and what role phosphorylation plays in BLM and BRCA1 interactions. The last aim tests our hypothesis in an animal model of breast tumor progression. Utilizing nude mouse, examine whether loss of functional BLM drives oncogenically "primed" mammary epithelial cells to form tumors following injection; and whether co-injection of senescent fibroblasts accelerates tumor size and decreases latency.

 Breast cancer progression occurs through dysregulation of numerous gene products. Therefore, central to understanding the etiology of breast cancer is to decipher how cells maintain an intact genome. Unique reagents available in our laboratory allows us to closely examine the role BLM may play in regulating BRCA1 as well as other proteins implicated in repairing damage during DNA replication.

description: Tursiops aduncus (Ehrenberg, 1833) —Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphin
Delphinus aduncus Ehrenberg, 1833 decasII, folio K, ftn. 1; Type locality- Dahlak Archipelago, Ethiopia (currently, Eritrea).
T. truncatus: Kim et al., 2000 p.100; Kim, 2004 p.245.
T. aduncus: Kim, 2011 p.5.
Range: Tursiops aduncus only occurs in the waters of Jeju Island (Kim 2004; Fig. 101).
Remarks: Analyses of external morphology and skeletal characters of co-occurring ' aduncus ' and ' truncatus ' forms in Chinese waters confirmed that T. aduncu s represents a distinct species from T. truncatus (Wang et al. 2000a, b). Two independent mitochondrial DNA studies (control region and cytochrome b gene) supported this result (LeDuc et al. 1999; Wang et al. 1999). These genetic data suggest a closer relationship of T. aduncus to Stenella frontalis, S. clymene, S. coeruleoalba and Delphinus spp. than to T. truncatus (LeDuc et al. 1999), indicating the necessity of a taxonomic revision within the Subfamily Delphininae. Habitat specialization occurred independently in different ocean basins, perhaps with T. aduncus filling the ecological niche of the inshore ecotype in some coastal regions of the Indian and western Pacific Ocean (Tezanos-Pinto et al. 2009).
Although the morphological difference in the population of Tursiops near Jeju Island has been recognized (Kim et al. 2000; Kim 2004), Kim (2010, 2011) raised this population to a distinct species T. aduncus from T. truncatus. Previously marine mammalogists considered that the distribution of T. aduncus was reached in Korean waters. In 2010, Kim (2010) found that the population of Jeju Island was morphologically different from T. truncatus. Therefore, before 2010, T. truncatus in the water near Jeju Island was referred to as T. aduncus.

Chemotherapy-Induced Ovarian Damage: Prevention and Impact

description: For many young women with breast cancer, the realization that chemotherapy will most likely render them infertile is devastating. Chemotherapy-related menopause in young women produces intensely unpleasant symptoms and results in low libido and rapid bone loss. The ovarian damage increases with age and drug dose, such that 40-70% of 40-year olds will develop menopause within one year. Data in primates and patients with lymphoma suggest that shutting down the ovaries during chemotherapy with GnRH-analogues (G) reduces ovarian failure, but this has not yet been demonstrated in a breast cancer clinical trial.

 The main questions to be addressed in the research are:

 -Are women who receive G during breast cancer chemotherapy more likely to keep their menstrual function, and is the protection of G affected by a woman's age?

 -Are there factors other than age and total dose of cyclophosphamide that affect a woman's odds of developing abnormal or absent menses?

 -What are the experiences, attitudes, and information needs of newly diagnosed young women regarding ovarian damage and post-treatment childbearing?

 We will open a phase II clinical trial of the GnRH-analogue triptorelin before and during breast cancer chemotherapy in 32 women aged 35-44. Because we will include women up to their early 40s, we expect not only to document tolerability and young women's interest, but also to give a preliminary estimate of the effectiveness of the ovarian protection.

 Complementary to the clinical trial, we will have 100 young survivors complete a pilot survey about the information they received, the emotional effect of this risk, and their post-chemotherapy menstrual function. We will interview a subset of these to obtain a deeper understanding of their experiences, attitudes, and needs.

 By focusing on women aged 35-44, this will be the first clinical trial of GnRH-analog based ovarian protection in breast cancer patients who have a significant risk of visible ovarian damage after chemotherapy. Unlike other studies, we will focus on quality of life outcomes important to women--the hormonal and menstrual signs of low fertility and peri-menopause, not just immediate menopause. Our survey will add to the scant data on menstrual problems after modern chemotherapy regimens, and the qualitative component will give much needed insights into the attitudes of young women regarding childbearing after breast cancer, their information needs regarding ovarian function and early menopause, and the information and advice they currently receive from their oncologists.

description: This comprehensive study of Cumberland County's economic base and social environment is the second of a series of basic reports upon which a Master Plan for the future development of the county will be formulated.The initial section of the study is concerned with the community's economic base. This portion of the report traces the history of the area's productive pursuits, examines and evaluates the economic activities of present day Cumberland County, reviews the characteristics of the area's work force, including manpower needs of the near future, and analyzes the fiscal capacity of county government as well as that of the municipalities and school districts of the area.The latter portion of the study deals with Cumberland County's social environment, with particular emphasis on needs, trends, and costs in the fields of housing, welfare and education. Due to time Imitations, much of the sociological portion of the study was necessarily based on available statistical data rather than upon first hand information gathered through extensive interviewing as was the original intent of the staff. The study should not only be an effective tool in the preparation of the Plan but should be a basic guide to other planning and public officials, industrialists contemplating expanded operation, prospective residential developers, and various community organizations.

REMARKS. The claspers form a drooping hook-like extension extending out of the pygofer being bent at an approximate right angle. The basal pygofer lobes are rounded with recurved spinous extensions. The species can be distinguished from T. demissa and T. misella by the lack of infuscation on the apex of the fore wing in these species. Taphura demissa differs from T. hastifera by the lack of a transverse piceous band on the anterior abdominal tergites and the claw-like claspers of that species (Sanborn 2017a).
DISTRIBUTION. The species is currently known from Bolivia, Brazil, French Guiana, Peru, and Suriname (Metcalf 1963c; Sanborn 2013; 2017a). The species has been recorded from Curoïco (Jacobi 1907).
