Concurrent Validity of the Face Valid Food Security Measure
No full textOur objective was to assess the concurrent validity of the face valid food security categorical algorithm with Hawaii residents. We also hypothesized that there would be differences in food security status between ethnic groups. We used the 18 question indicators of the Core Food Security Module (CFSM) to develop the face valid food security measure. The “face valid” measure was created previously by this research team as a more valid food security measure in Hawaii. Findings compared the face valid categorical measure and the CFSM scale measure with various demographic, economic, dietary variables, and use of assistance programs. The sample included 1,603 Hawaii residents drawn from a statewide telephone survey and a survey of charitable food recipients. Statistical analysis included ANOVA, chi-square, and regression analysis of food security measures with related variables. In general, progressively deteriorating food security status resulted in concurrent decreases in vegetable intake, increased reliance on a cheap, high-fat, high-sodium noodle product, and increased reliance on resource augmentation behaviors. Factors such as a greater number of children, limited savings, and recent loss of a job were found to compromise food security status. WIC benefits, frequent use of a food pantry, and the presence of a senior adult in the household appeared protective. In this sample Asians, except for Filipinos, were more food secure; Hawaiians and Part-Hawaiians, and Samoans, were more likely to experience hunger. Findings were consistent with previous work and suggest that the face valid food security measure does exhibit concurrent validity.
Parathyroid hormone inhibits Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase through Gq/G11 and the calcium-independent phospholipase A2
No full text Previous studies from this laboratory have demonstrated that the 3–34 analog of parathyroid hormone (PTH) causes a 15–30% inhibition of Na(+)-K(+)-adenosinetriphosphatase (Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase) activity in rat renal proximal tubules through the generation of an increase in intracellular arachidonic acid, followed by its conversion to 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) [C. P. Ribeiro and L. J. Mandel. Am. J. Physiol. 262 (Renal Fluid Electrolyte Physiol. 31): F209-F216, 1992; and C. P. Ribeiro, G. Dubay, J. R. Falk, and L. J. Mandel. Am. J. Physiol. 266 (Renal Fluid Electrolyte Physiol. 35): F497-F505, 1994]. The present study also uses proximal tubule suspensions to further elucidate this signaling pathway. Guanosine 5'-O-(2-thiodiphosphate), 500 microM, an inhibitor of heterotrimeric GTP-binding proteins (G proteins), and an anti-Gq/G11 antibody (1:500) both blocked the inhibition of the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase by PTH-(3–34). Furthermore, a 42-kDa protein was identified in proximal tubules by the anti-Gq/G11 antibody (1:1,000). Bromoenol lactone (BEL), 1 microM, a suicide inhibitor of the calcium-independent 40-kDa phospholipase A2 (PLA2), prevented PTH-(3–34) inhibition of the Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase, unless exogenous 10 microM 20-HETE was added. In addition, BEL blocked the PTH-(3–34)-induced increase in arachidonic acid release in the proximal tubules. We conclude that a member of the Gq family and the calcium-independent 40-kDa PLA2 participate in the PTH-(3–34) signaling pathway in rat proximal tubules by mediating the steps between the binding of PTH-(3–34) to its receptor and the subsequent generation of arachidonic acid. </jats:p

Response of Ionization Chambers and Cherenkov Counters to Relativistic Ultraheavy Nuclei
No full textWe shall report results from a calibration of a set of high-resolution ionization
chambers and Cherenkov counters at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory
Bevalac, in November 1986. We obtained exposures to beams of 26Fe, 57La, 67Ho,
and 79Au, at several diffyfent energies, ranging from -300 MeV/amu to a maximum
between 1 and 1.6 Ge V lamu. The detectors were basically similar to those used in
the HEA0-3 HNE (Binns et al. 1981) and these exposures were intended to calibrate
the response of the HNE detectors to UH nuclei in the cosmic radiation.
For nuclei of low .atomic number (Z), the response of these detectors scales like
Z2; however, at high Z this scaling is expected to break down (Ahlen 1980,1982;
Derrickson et til. 1981)

Characterization of East London Culex pipiens s.l. in relation to the risk of transmission to humans of the West Nile virus in Great Britain.
No full textPhDConcerns that West Nile Virus (WNV) may arrive in the UK, prompted investigations
of Cx. pipiens s.l., as this species complex has been most often implicated in European
urban WNV human outbreaks and the rapid spread of the virus across North America
from 1999.
Two members of the complex are present in Britain, Cx. p. pipiens and Cx. p. molestus.
These distinct biotypes do not interbreed and are respectively ornithophilic and
anthropophilic. Across Europe, these traits vary with latitude, presenting a major
taxonomic problem.
Research was conducted in an urban area of East London in and around the Beckton
Sewage Treatment Works (STW), where Cx. p. molestus was a nuisance. Most of the
study was conducted using a DNA based assay to distinguish the forms, which was first
fully evaluated against the typical characteristics normally used for identification
Temporal and spatial surveys of larval breeding sites indicated that Cx. p. molestus
breeds all year round inside artificial enclosures both above and below ground in a
range of both contained and non-contained pools varying widely in size, depth and
water quality.
Cx. p. molestus larvae were not found outside of enclourses even in the summer.
However, adults were found biting humans. Hence, Cx. p. molestus appears to move
from the Beckton STW to obtain its blood meals and returns.
Despite a search of all samples no hybrids were found. The two biotypes did not seem
to form hybrids confirming them as essentially separated.
The biting specificity of the two biotypes was studied in an urban farm where human,
animals and birds live in close contact. While Cx. p. pipiens was found to be exclusively
ornithophilic, Cx. p. molestus resulted to be anthropophilic and capable to take 5.5% of
its blood meals from birds, thus being a potential bridge vector for the transmission of the WNV to humans in Britain
