Dietary supplements and functional foods: 2 sides of a coin?1–3
Charles H Halsted
Am J Clin Nutr 2003;77(suppl):1001S–7S. Printed in USA. © 2003 American Society for Clinical NutritionABSTRACT
Dietary supplements are used by more than one-half of the adult US population. In contrast to pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements may be sold in the United States with little regulation other than listing of ingredients and the potential health benefits. By contrast, herbal products in Germany are carefully regulated by the same standards as drugs, and efforts are under way to standardize their regulation in the entire European Union. Most herbal users do not inform their physicians that they are taking these supplements, and most physicians do not inquire. Although some herbal products have clinically proven benefits, i

The environment and autoimmune thyroid diseases
Mark F Prummel, Thea Strieder and Wilmar M Wiersinga
Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, F5-171, Academic Medical Center, Meibergdreef 9, 1105 AZ Amsterdam, The Netherlands (Correspondence should be addressed to M F Prummel; Email: m.f.prummel@amc.uva.nl) European Journal of Endocrinology (2004) 150 605–618 Abstract
Genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) and it has been calculated that 80% of the susceptibility to develop Graves’ disease is attributable to genes. The concordance rate for AITD among monozygotic twins is, however, well below 1 and environmental factors thus must play an important role. We have attempted to carry out a comprehensive review of all the envi

Randomized Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Trial of Bestatin in Patients With Resected Stage I Squamous-Cell Lung CarcinomaYukito Ichinose, Keiichiro Genka, Teruaki Koike, Harubumi Kato, Yoh Watanabe, Takashi Mori, Sogo Iioka, Akira Sakuma, Mitsuo OhtaFor the NK421 Lung Cancer Surgery Group Journal of the National Cancer Institute, Vol. 95, No. 8, April 16, 2003
Background
Bestatin is a potent aminopeptidase inhibitor that has immunostimulant and antitumor activity. We conducted a prospective randomized, double-blind, placebocontrolled trial to determine whether postoperative adjuvant treatment with bestatin could prolong the survival of patients with completely resected stage I squamous-cell lung carcinoma. Methods: Patients with confirmed, resected stage I squamous-cell lu

ABSTRACT
The efficacy of a Propionibacterium acnes product for treatment of coliform mastitis was evaluated following in- tramammary infusion of Escherichia coli. Ten cows were injected in- travenously with a product containing heat-killed P. acnes at 3 h, 3 d, and 7 d after bacterial challenge. Five cows served as untreated negative controls. Bacterial counts in milk, re

ABSTRACT
Bacterial surface structures play a critical role in the initiation of infectious diseases. Various surface components of pathogenic bacteria have been reported to be involved in host injury. There is a great deal of evidence incriminating certain Gram-negative, anaerobic bacteria present in the

Cytoprotective Effect of Podophyllum hexandrum Against Gamma Radiation Is Mediated via Hemopoietic System Stimulation and Up-Regulation of Heme-oxygenase-1 and the Prosurvival Multidomain Protein Bcl-2
Arora Rajesh, PhD, R. Sagar, MSc, S. Singh, MSc, R. Kumar, PhD, A. K. Sharma, MSc, J. Prasad, BSc, S. Singh, BSc, M. Gupta, PhD, R. K. Sharma, PhD, S. C. Puri, PhD, B. Krishna, MD, M. S. Siddiqui, PhD, S. S. Lahiri, PhD, R. P. Tripathi, MD, and G. N. Qazi, PhD
Abstrct
The radioprotective effect of a hydroalcoholic extracted material (REC-2000) from the rhizome of Podophyllum hexandrum was studied in mice exposed to lethal γγ radiation (10 Gy). The extract (REC-2000) was found to restore the hemoglobin content (14.73 ±± 0.33) and total leukocyte count (TLC) (4166.66 ±± 0.02) in lethally (10 Gy) γγ -irradiated mice on the

Immunostimulants, Vaccines, and Environmental Stressors in Aquaculture: NBT Assays to show Neutrophil Activity by these
Immunomodulators
Douglas P. Anderson
Salmon Bay Biologics 2716 Elliott Ave. #900
Seattle, Washington 98121 USA
Abstract
While neutrophil activity assays have been used in human and veterinary medicine for diagnosis of blood neutrophil abnormalities, they are rarely used because of difficulties of handling nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) solutions, drawing and preparation of blood samples and subjectivities in visual readings. We have developed modifications for a simplified NBT assay that can be used in the diagnosis and tracing the effectiveness of immunostimulants, vaccines and environmental stressors of fish. While training and practice for biologists and technicians is needed, the NBT assays can yield

Advancing Justice Through DNA Technology
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
DNA technology is increasingly vital to ensuring accuracy and fairness in the criminal justice system. DNA can be used to identify criminals with incredible accuracy when biological evidence exists, and DNA can be used to clear suspects and exonerate persons mistakenly accused or convicted of crimes. The current federal and state DNA collection and analysis system needs improvement. In many instances, public crime labs are overwhelmed by backlogs of unanalyzed DNA samples. In addition, these labs may be ill-equipped to handle the increasing influx of DNA samples and evidence. The problems of backlogs and the lack of up-to-date technology result in significant delays in the administration of justice. More research is needed to develop faster methods for analyzing DNA evidenc

James R. Brown and Philippe SanseauDDT • Volume 10, Number 8 • April 2005 Small non-coding RNAs called microRNAs have been shown to play important roles in gene regulation across a broad range of metazoans from plants to humans. In this review, the nature and function of microRNAs will be discussed, with special emphasis on the computational tools and databases available to predict microRNAs and the genes they target.
