Proteomic analysis of glutathione transferases from the liver fluke parasite, Fasciola hepatica
No full textThe parasite Fasciola hepatica causes major global disease of livestock, with increasing reports of human infection. Vaccine candidates with varying protection rates have been identified by pre-genomic approaches. As many candidates are part of protein superfamilies, sub-proteomics offers new possibilities to systematically reveal the relative importance of individual family proteins to vaccine formulations within populations. The superfamily glutathione transferase (GST) from liver fluke has phase II detoxification and housekeeping roles, and has been shown to contain protective vaccine candidates. GST were purified from cytosolic fractions of adult flukes using glutathione- and S-hexylglutathione-agarose, separated by 2-DE, and identified by MS/MS, with the support of a liver fluke EST database. All previously described F. hepatica GST isoforms were identified in 2-DE. Amongst the isoforms mapped by 2-DE, a new GST, closely related to the Sigma class enzymes is described for the first time in the liver fluke. We also describe cDNA encoding putative Omega class GST in F. hepatica
Lifestyle-Related Risk Factors and Risk of Future Nursing Home Admission
No full textWhile risks of disease, hospitalization, and death attributable to lifestyle-related factors such as smoking, inactivity, and obesity have been well studied, their associations with nursing home admission are less well known. These risk factors are usually established by middle age, but nothing is known about how they relate to long-term risk of nursing home admission in this age group.
Cox proportional hazards regressions were used to analyze risk of nursing home admission over 2 decades of follow-up (1971-1975 to 1992) in a nationally representative, longitudinal survey of community-dwelling adults aged 45 to 74 years at baseline. Middle-aged (45-64 years at baseline) and elderly persons (aged 65-74 years at baseline) were analyzed separately: 230 (6.5%) of 3526 middle-aged respondents and 728 (24.7%) of 2936 elderly ones had 1 or more nursing home admissions. Baseline risk factors included smoking, inactivity, obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated total cholesterol level, and diabetes mellitus, which were defined according to national guidelines. All lifestyle-related factors, except total cholesterol level, were associated with higher risk of nursing home admission during follow-up in one or both age groups. Risk ratios were higher in middle-aged than in elderly persons. In those aged 45 to 64 years at baseline, diabetes more than tripled the risk of nursing home admission (relative risk, 3.25; 95% confidence interval, 2.04-5.19); smoking, inactivity, and elevated systolic blood pressure had relative risks of 1.56, 1.40, and 1.35, respectively. Obesity was a risk factor for those aged 65 to 74 years at baseline, but not for the middle-aged subjects. Persons with 2 lifestyle-related factors were at greatly increased risk, especially if 1 was diabetes. Lifestyle factors are important contributors to the long-term risk of nursing home admission. Modifying lifestyle, especially in middle age, may reduce the risk of admission.Peer reviewe

Review of \u3ci\u3eCharles M. Russell, Legacy: Printed and Published Works of Monwna\u27s Cowboy Artist\u3c/i\u3e Text by Larry Len Peterson
Get PDFLarry L. Peterson has for many years collected art by Charles M. Russell (1865-1926) as well as printed and published works of the cowboy artist. A native of Montana where the artist lived most of his life, Peterson is highly knowledgeable about Russell\u27s work and has published numerous articles on the subject in Russell\u27s West, a periodical of the C. M. Russell Museum in Great Falls, Montana. As Peterson traces examples of the printed appearances of Russell\u27s work in varied forms, he underscores how the artist\u27s vision of the American West was not limited in its appeal to an elite collecting only original art, but engaged a wide audience across the United States and abroad. He also gives an illuminating account of Russell\u27s artistic development, drawing upon his own collection as well as many other public and private ones in this beautifully illustrated and thoroughly researched volume.
Broader and more ambitious in scope than Karl Yost\u27s and Frederic Renner\u27s A Bibliography of the Published Work of Charles M. Russell (1971), Peterson\u27s work systematically examines examples of the huge number of images by Russell in printed and published form, placing logical groups of them into the overall context of Russell\u27s artistic career and lasting reputation. The author successfully organizes this abundant material into eight chapters based on chronological periods of Russell\u27s output. He incorporates historical photographs and a few reproduced examples of Russell\u27s art into each chapter\u27s text, ending each with a large section of illustrations reproducing key works among those discussed. The informative, engaging text and 1,038 images-more than 550 in color-form a coherent book that gives great visual pleasure.
Peterson discusses significant examples of the many publications that featured Russell\u27s art. These encompass portfolios of prints, illustrations for periodicals such as Harper\u27s Weekly, Scribner\u27s, Outing, Field and Stream, Leslie\u27s Illustrated Newspaper, Recreation, Sports Afield, and a profusion of books. The last category includes multiple titles by notable authors such as B. M. Bower and Frank M. Linderman, and editions of Emerson Hough\u27s The Story of a Cowboy, Bret Harte\u27s Three Partners, and Owen Wister\u27s The Virginian. Peterson also carefully chronicles the reproduction of Russell\u27s work on materials commonly designated as ephemera-calendars, letterheads, menus, business cards, postcards, cigar boxes, and the like. As he reconstructs the appearances of the artist\u27s imagery in these amazingly varied forms, he draws attention to pieces marking advances in Russell\u27s artistic growth. Some of these, such as Scattering the Riders (1900), When Sioux and Blackfeet Meet (1908), and The Piegans (1918), are reproduced on calendars, postcards, and stamps. In these and other numerous examples, Russell took great pains to depict varied Plains Indian peoples, cowboys, and wildlife as accurately as he could.
In Legacy Peterson also explores the critical role of the artist\u27s wife Nancy as business manager and the importance of Russell\u27s friendships, many of which evolved into collecting or business relationships. He characterizes the artist, who was unusually admired and beloved during his life, as a man for all times. Charlie\u27s love of animals, the Indian, the Indian way of life, conservation, and equality for women are virtues that will always be appreciated and are an important part of his legacy. To Peterson\u27s credit, many themes of Russell\u27s art seen in the illustrations and mentioned in the text support this tribute.
Legacy takes its place as a worthy companion to Rick Stewart\u27s Charles M. Russell, Sculptor (1994) and Charles M. Russell, Word-Painter (1993), a collection of the artist\u27s illustrated letters edited by Brian W. Dippie
