The enzyme is one of a class of enzymes involved in halting a cell's response to hormones and appears to stop cells from dividing. The study, published in "Nature Genetics", was conducted by researchers in NIH's National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The NIH group collaborated with scientists from the Mayo Clinic, the Cochin Institute in Paris, the University of Paris, Ohio State University in Columbus, and the Universitaire Vaudois in Lausanne, Switzerland, in collecting samples from patients with rare adrenal disorders. Scientists from Sapio Sciences in York, Pennsylvania, assisted in the analysis of the data. In conducting the study, the researchers used gene arrays to analyze the DNA of patients with a rare tumor of the adrenal glands, known as micronodular adrenocortical hyperplasia, explained the study's senior author, Constantine Stratakis, M.D., D(Med)Sc, Chief of NICHD's Section on Endocrinology and Genetics. The researchers also used the technology to analyze samples of the patients' tumors. The researchers found four patients who had mutant copies of a gene that contains the information for Phosphodiesterase 11A (PDE11A). Phosphodiesterases are a family of enzymes involved in "switching off" a cell's response to hormones, Dr. Stratakis explained. For a hormone to affect the cell, it must first bind to a molecule, or receptor, on the cell's surface, analogous to how a key fits into a lock. This action triggers the cell to produce substances known as cyclic nucleotides. These function as "second messengers," often stimulating the cell to begin an activity. In the case of adrenal cells, cyclic nucleotides, such as cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP, may stimulate cell growth or other activities. Once the activity has ended, phosphodiesterases degrade the cyclic nucleotides, thereby halting the cell's response to the hormone. In the study, the patients' tumors were made up of cells that were deficient in the enzyme PDE11A. This enzyme halts cyclic nucleotide production in adrenal cells as well as in other kinds of cells in the body. Because they lacked PDE11A, the patients' adrenal cells had higher levels of cyclic nucleotides. The researchers believe that these higher cyclic nucleotide levels led to the formation of tumors. The gene for PDE11A contains the information needed to make 4 slightly different forms of the enzyme. The form of the enzyme that was mutated in the patients who took part in the study was found in large amounts in normal adrenal glands and in even larger amounts in normal prostate glands, Dr. Stratakis added. Other forms of PDE11A are found in several other tissues, including the testes, skeletal muscle, and the heart. Dr. Stratakis noted that although the evidence associating the mutation in the gene for PDE11A to the development of adrenal tumors was very strong, the study was not capable of proving that the mutation actually caused the tumors. In their article, the researchers wrote that drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction interfere with the functioning of PDE11A. The researchers noted that PDE11A "is partially inhibited" by the drug tadalafil and "weakly" inhibited by sildenafil. They added that there are no reports in the medical literature of malfunctioning adrenal glands or increased adrenal cell growth in users of these drugs. "However, detailed clinical studies addressing this potential complication are currently lacking," they wrote. Dr. Stratakis and his colleagues are currently planning studies to determine if differences in the gene for PDE11A might influence an individual's cancer risk.

INTERNET: SEARCH: MEDIA SPECIFIC TOOLS AND RESOURCES : UNITED STATES Posted by: "David P.

I just two searches in each of these Google services http://www.google.com/unclesam and http://www.google.com/ig/usgov First "usa patriot" Second bush The search result numbers were identical in each of these services for the same search run in both. Secondly, past the first screen to the first set of search results from USGOV, the screen had the Google Logo in the red white and blue in the Google logo with the stars and stripes. This is the UNCLESAM Google logo. The difference appears to be below the search discussion bar is in the USGOV service is added feature of menus to select from various service categories, a number of services under each including: Weather American Forces Information White House News Government Executive Google News: Top Government Washington Post Clicking on Government Executive, for example, takes the user here: GovExec.com <http://www.govexec.com/> Hence it would appear, upon superficial examination, that USGOV is a Google service with a search service that has the same search engine driving USGOV as is driving UNCLESAM, but USGOV is with a menu interface that provides access to other web based resources like the White House Home Page, Google News government related sections, the Washington Post and the Department of Defense. The two may coexist or Google may withdraw the UNCLESAM service or USGOV may diverge from UNCLESAM in the area of searching as well. As of now it would seem the two services are substantially similar and both currently exist. These recent posts from Net-Gold may also be of interest to some of the members of this discussion group.

Kaiser Family Foundation. Kaiser Network.org Daily Reports Prescription Drugs | New Jersey Assembly Approves Bill To Create Database of Retail Prescription Drug Prices <http://www.kaisernetwork.org/daily_reports/rep_index.cfm?DR_ID=37852> The New Jersey Assembly on Thursday voted 72-3 to approve a bill (A 2537) that would create a Web site and toll-free phone number that would provide residents with retail prices of 150 popular prescription drugs, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. The bill, sponsored by state Rep. Linda Greenstein (D), is designed to allow state residents to compare drug prices at various pharmacies. A similar bill was approved last month by the state Senate Health, Human Services and Senior Citizens Committee and is awaiting further committee action. The legislation originally included a provision that would have required pharmacies to compile the price lists themselves and post the information in their stores, a measure that was opposed by the New Jersey Council of Chain Drug Stores. Under the amended version, the state Board of Pharmacy would maintain the database using price information from the state Medicaid office, which already receives the data from pharmacies. ---------------------------------------- Prescription drug comparison shopping may come to New Jersey By TOM HESTER Jr., Associated Press Writer Published: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 Updated: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 Press of Atlantic City.com <http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/ news/newjersey/story/6382691p-6238632c.html> A shorter URL for the above link: <http://snipurl.com/rtq9> TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Marilyn Askin compares prices when she shops at New Jersey's many malls. And the 72-year-old West Orange resident can do the same when she spins through a supermarket. But comparison shopping has always been difficult when it comes to something important to Askin and millions of other New Jerseyans. "There's no way you can compare prescription drug prices," Askin said. That may soon change. Gov. Jon S. Corzine hopes to soon sign into law a bill that would create a state Web site listing pharmacy-by-pharmacy retail prices for the 150 most frequently prescribed drugs. The Web site would be designed to easily allow consumers to find the cheapest prescription drugs and decrease prices through enhanced competition. New Jersey would follow New York, Maryland, Illinois and Florida in creating such Web sites. "It's not just for seniors," Corzine recently said about the Web site. "It's for everyone, and price competition will actually lead to major savings for the public." The bill has been advanced by legislative committees in the Assembly and Senate. It hasn't received final votes, but appears to have enough support to pass. Corzine said signing the bill ranks as among his major short-term priorities. ---------------------------------------- The complete articles may be read at the URLs provided for each.

But now we hear about an unintended consequence. High-tech cheating by students. And one survey estimates three out of four have done it. Some call it the best kept secret on college campuses across the country. It's a new high tech twist on an age old practice of cheating. Students sneak in portable email gadgets, like sidekicks to ace exams, jamming class notes on a tiny screen that fits in the palm of your hand. With just a few discreet clicks you can actually just be sitting there with a pencil in hand looking like you're pondering over a question and underneath the desk you can be texting away. With students using sidekicks, blackberries, and other handheld devices in the classroom, some academic experts are wondering what's next and if they'll ever be able to keep up with technology. ---------------------------------------- The complete article may be read at the URL above.
