The Role Of MMPs In Chronic Wound Edema
- Volume 16 - Issue 8 - August 2003

What The Literature Reveals
For chronic venous leg ulcers, studies show a 30-fold elevation in MMP activity when compared to acute wounds. MMP-9 activity exceeds MMP-2 activity. In a pressure ulcer model (decubitus ulcers), the levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 are elevated more than 10-fold and 25-fold respectively. In pressure ulcers, MMP-8 collagenase activity is also elevated. The diabetic foot ulcer model shows a 65-fold increase in MMP-1 collagenase activity, a three-fold increase in MMP-2 proenzyme activity, a six-fold increase in activated MMP-2, a two-fold increase in MMP-8 activity and a 14-fold increase in MMP-9 activity.
The MMP proteolytic activity in acute wounds is not as pronounced. Acute mastectomy wound fluid shows an increased gelatinase activity for MMP-9 and MMP-2. However, these increases were only five to ten-fold. It is also important to note that the inactive zymogen forms tended to persist in acute wound fluid. These results suggest that the pro-inflammatory environment of non-healing ulcers supports high levels of gelatinase activation.
TIMP activity appears to be inversely related to the chronicity of the wound. In the diabetic foot model, TIMP-2 activity is decreased. In the venous ulcer model, TIMP-1 activity is depressed. Likewise, the pressure ulcer model shows lower TIMP activity secondary to complexes of TIMP and activated MMP.
Proteolytic activity normalizes as the wound healing progresses. Studies comparing protease activity in venous leg ulcers showed a reduction in MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels as the wounds healed over a two-week period following treatment with bed rest and leg elevation. Pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-alpha in wound fluid from previously non-healing lower extremity wounds also decrease during healing.
Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-basic) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-ß) did not significantly change as wounds healed. These results suggest that the impaired healing response seen in chronic wounds may be more dependent upon inflammatory mediators and MMP activation than upon a deficit in growth factors.
Controlled proteolysis is needed for cell migration, angiogenesis and matrix remodeling. Collagenase-1 (MMP-1), stromelysin-1 (MMP-3) and stromelysin-2 (MMP-10) are expressed in keratinocytes bordering both acute and chronic wounds. Differential collagenase expression suggests various MMPs serve different functions during the wound healing process. The presence of collagenase-1 (MMP-1) in keratinocytes appears to be important for cellular migration whereas collagenase-3 (MMP-13), which present exclusively in fibroblasts embedded deep within the chronic ulcer wound bed, probably functions more in matrix remodelling.
TIMP-1 associated with keratinocytes bordering healing wounds at the basement membrane is not expressed in the epidermis of chronic wounds. TIMP-3 expression is conserved in both acute and chronic wounds, localized in the stromal fibroblast and macrophage-like cells surrounding vessels and sweat glands.
Researchers report no qualitative differences in the expression of MMPs -1, -3, and -10 in the epidermis of chronic wounds when they compared them to normally healing wounds. However, the overall number of stromal cells expressing MMP-1 and MMP-3 are greater in chronic wounds. MMP-10 has not been detected in the dermis of chronic wounds.
These studies outline the need for further research to clarify the connection between cellular expression, concentration and function of the MMPs as balanced with TIMPs. At this time, it is difficult to drawn a causal relationship between wound healing and the presence or absence of a given MMP.

Thanks a lot for publishing the above article. We surprisingly observed a unique effect on chronic wound healing as diabetic non healing ones. The events we observed were as clot formation(fibrin deposites - hemostatic phase) followed by autodebridementation of necrotic lesions compressing rejection of necrotic tisuues from the periphery to the central wound associated with ECM deposit( inflammation phase)follwoed by granulation tissue formation and wound size decrease (proliferation phase) and complete wound healing in a physiological timed manner. The cases were involved with non healing wound types of diabetes related awith and without hemodyalised states and resistant to therapy of more than 10 months up to 20 months. Our group is ready to exchange experiments and introduce our patent remedy as needed. We welcome all aspects of collaboration in mass production and research projects.

Pediatrics-Primary Care, Environmental Medicine
On staff since October 2002
Academic Title: Assistant Professor
After two years of frustration and no real answers for our 4 year old son, we found someone to listen. That someone was indeed Dr. Karr! She spent a great deal of time listening to his symptoms after our family experienced an "inhalation exposure" in the state of Florida. Our doctors here in Bellingham did not "believe" our son's health problems could be caused by this incident and did not provide proper medical care. With Dr. Karr's help, we might finally be on track to getting our son well. He was two years old when this happened and has not been the same since - he has been unable to swallow without pain since December 2009 and suffers from very poor health. Dr. Karr is compassionate, intelligent and resourceful; she listens exceptionally well and my husband and I were very impressed with her no nonsense attitude. We highly recommend her!

Fire Monks: Zen Mind Meets Wildfire At The Gates Of Tassajara
by Busch, Colleen Morton
Tassajara, the oldest Zen monastery in the U.S., may be known to some readers for its cookbooks including the Tassajara Bread Book. Located east of Big Sur in the Ventana wilderness area, it is accessible only by way of a winding unpaved road. In the summer of 2008 dry lightning storms in the region sparked what would become one of the largest wildfires in U.S. history.
Fire Monks is both the gripping tale of a particular fire and an inside look into the heart of a community or sangha. A Zen student herself, Busch tells the individual stories of a handful of monks who defied an evacuation order to stay and fight the fire. This book caught my attention partly because the classic Young Men and Fire by Norman Maclean is a favorite of mine and any book about wilderness firefighting owes something to it. Fire Monks did not disappoint. It conveys the excitement and urgency of the time as well as elucidating the Buddhist way of paying attention and being fully present in the moment.

Hard Ground
by O'Brien, Michael
When Hard Ground caught my eye one day I felt compelled not only to look at the photographs but to read the accompanying text by the photographer Michael O'Brien and companion short poems by Tom Waits. The book is a series of portraits of many homeless people, most of whom are posing for the camera. O'Brien was originally inspired by a homeless man he met in Miami at the start of his career in the 70's -- he wanted to find out the story of the man's life and what led him to become homeless. The portraits are hard to look at in some cases, but very compelling. They remind us that the face of homelessness is changing as more women and children and teenagers join the population. The portraits also remind us that each of these people is an individual, and not just a member of a faceless group of "bums". If you are a fan of the great photographer Diane Arbus, you will like this book.

Indiana State Police are continuing to investigate a deadly officer-involved shooting in Elkhart.
ISP has released the name of the person shot and killed by Elkhart Police officers Sunday. The 27-year-old man's name is Jamie I. Benavidez of Elkhart.
Police were called out to a break in on the 300 block of West Lusher Avenue. The suspect, Benavidez, was reportedly armed with a gun. When police showed up, they say Benavidez and an unidentified 14-year-old ran from the scene.
The teenager was taken into custody after giving up to police in the 300 block of West Lusher. Benavidez was also found on the same street. But, police say Benavidez didn't give up. They say he pointed a gun at officers.
Three police officers shot at Benavidez, killing him. No officers were hurt in the shooting. Elkhart Police have released the identities of the three officers involved.
They are Cpl. Bruce Anglemyer, Cpl James Ballard, and Sgt. Karl Miller. The officers have a combined 61 years experience with the Elkhart Police Department. Cpl. Anglemyer has been with the force the longest, serving 23 years with the Department.
Neighbors in the area heard all the commotion. One woman lives four houses down from where the shooting happened. She says her kids would have normally been riding their bikes in the afternoon, but today they were helping her with dinner.
"It makes me feel afraid because I was in the house getting ready to make dinner for Labor Day and me and my kids went outside and the cops come running up telling us we need to get in the house, someone's running with a gun and then two seconds later you hear 'pow, pow, pow' and the next thing I know I'm telling my kids to get down and there were just cops everywhere," said the woman.
She says this shooting hits too close to home. There have been other shootings in the area this year, and the neighborhood just isn't the same.
"There was a shooting on Cleveland and 6th in May. There was a shooting on Benham just a couple months ago. Shootings are just getting closer and closer and closer to home," says the woman.
State police detectives interviewed witnesses and collected evidence from the scene. It is Elkhart Police protocol for an outside agency to investigate an officer-involved shooting.

FLOWERY BRANCH – Falcons cornerback Dunta Robinson suffered a slight hamstring injury and missed Sunday's practice.
"He was out today because of a tight hamstring," Falcons coach Mike Smith said. "He's going to be like all of our guys like Todd McClure and Tony Gonzalez, we're going to manage those guys. Right now, we are going to see how he feels (Monday) and see if he's ready to go."
Robinson was the team's major offseason pick-up. He was signed as a free agent to a six-year $57.5 million contract.
He's slated to start at one of the cornerback spots. He joined the team on the field for the last half hour of practice.
Also, tight end Colin Peek suffered a right knee strain that will not require surgery.

Right on que Donta. It's a long hot summer so why go out there and get blown up in practice by some of these WRs? I ain't mad and you all should not be either. If someone gave you $57 million would you jeapordize that? Didn't think so. The preseson is way too long and Goodell and his henchmen know it. Shorten it up to two weeks like they want to then you will see the "tight" hammies "magically" disappear from around the league.

People with low self esteem and mother issues often inject themselves into situations and places where their opinions are not wanted and their presence is little more than mild annoyance. These are wannabe sociapathes who do not have the intelligence or the cojones to function in the real world. So they troll the blogosphere looking for people to harass in order to pad their since of self worth. But if nobody cares and nobody is annoyed, they revert to what they have always been-nothing.

Richard Robinson, Junior is a worried father. His son, Davion, just nine years old, is in Beaumont Hospital with a fractured skull. They are checking for bleeding on the brain. He is pretty much sedated and doesn't remember how he got there, not the accident, not the ambulance.
His parents only know what they heard from neighbors in their Warren subdivision Sunday evening when Davion out riding his bike smashed into a parked car on Timberline, flew into the air and landed on his head.
"They [said] they heard a car hit him. They heard the big bang, but they didn't see the car that hit him," said mother Diamond Robertson.
But was there a car that hit him or did this nine-year-old boy on a bike just have a bad accident?
Warren police say it appears Davion accidentally ran his bike into a parked car, but the family just isn't sure. They're asking anyone with any information to please come forward.
"His bike is on one end and this boy is down the street, and they left my son for dead," said his father.
If indeed there was a hit and run driver, either way these worried parents need to know what happened to their son. Anyone with information is asked to please contact Warren police.

Eric and Jordan Staal are about to go where only the Espositos, the Plagers and the McCrearys have gone before.
When the puck drops Monday night on TSN for the opening game of the Carolina Hurricanes/Pittsburgh Penguins series, it will mark only the fifth time in NHL history that siblings have skated against each other in the Conference finals. The last time a brother act such as this occurred was in 1974 - when Phil Esposito's Bruins faced Tony's Blackhawks. The rarity of the occurrence was not lost on the Staals.
"This is the best time of the year to play hockey," said Eric in a conference call held by the NHL on Friday. "When brothers are playing against each other in the Conference finals it's exciting not only for yourselves but for the rest of your family for sure."
There will be a lot of bragging rights on the line for the brothers, who have already accomplished a great deal in their young NHL careers. Hurricane Eric (the oldest of the four Staal spawn) already has a Stanley Cup ring to his name, along with four All-Star Game appearances.
Jordan, meanwhile, was a Calder trophy finalist in 2007 and, in 2008, helped lead the Penguins to their first Stanley Cup final appearance since 1992. Both players are predicting big things in the upcoming matchup.
"I'm due for a really big game," joked Eric.
"So am I," agreed Jordan. "I'm going to break out in this series like crazy."
After a solid regular season that saw him reach the 40-goal plateau for the second time in his career, Eric has raised his level of play in the playoffs, leading the 'Canes in goals (nine) and points (13) and likely cementing his spot on Canada's Olympic team for the 2010 Games.
While Jordan has yet to repeat his offensive explosion as a rookie - where he scored 29 goals and set a rookie record with seven short-handed markers - he did enjoy a solid regular season, finding the back of the net 22 times and adding 27 assists while skating in all 82 games. In 13 playoff games, he has added a pair of goals and three assists.
Known as one of the better two-way centres in the league, Jordan could well be asked to shadow his older brother in the upcoming Eastern Conference finals, a challenge that both siblings say they welcome.
"He's obviously played well against the other teams' top lines in the last two series or they (Pittsburgh) wouldn't be where they are right now," stated Eric, sounding like a proud older brother.
"For me it's about focusing and playing my game no matter who I'm matched up against on the other side. It will be the same if it is against Jordie."
On Thursday, Jordan ratcheted up the rivalry by alluding to the game of one-upmanship put on by Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin in Game 2 of their series that saw the superstars traded hat tricks.
"With me playing there's always a good chance for hat tricks," laughed the younger Staal. "I don't know about Eric."
The rivalry also extended off the ice where the elder Eric conceded victory to the younger Jordan in one key area.
"His playoff beard is better than mine, mine is pretty bad," Eric admitted. "But he was a grown man at age 12 and I didn't hit puberty until age 20."
Despite skating against each other for the past three seasons, this will be the first playoff encounter between the two brothers, but Jordan likely got a good preview of what to expect by facing sibling Marc in the second round last season when the Penguins eliminated Marc's New York Rangers in five games. Marc wouldn't reveal on which side his loyalties lie for the upcoming series.
"I don't know who he's going to be cheering for," Jordan admitted. "He texted me last night and said that it was going to be a tough series to watch. It's going to be interesting to see which side the family rolls on."
With brother Marc manning the blueline in Manhattan and youngest brother Jared taken second-round pick of the Phoenix Coyotes last summer, this could likely be the first of many times that parents Henry and Linda Staal will be forced to watch their boys go head-to-head.
"To be honest I feel bad, but it's so hard on our parents when they are at the games," Eric said. "They don't know who to cheer for."
"I think their plan is to stay home and watch it on TV."
Regardless of who prevails, it will be the third time in four years that a Staal brother will compete for the Cup.
"Once the series starts, you are in that zone, you're in your game and once it's over, it's over," said Eric. "We're still brothers, we're still family. One is going to be disappointed and one's going to be excited. In the end that's the way it had to be and this is the challenge that we've got in front of us and we're excited about it."

A Brief History of Source:
Photoworks North was formally constituted in May 1992 in order to promote excellence in photography in Northern Ireland. The organization was set up by a group of photographers united in their frustration at the limited provision for photography within the gallery and education sectors in Northern Ireland and the lack of a network for Northern Ireland photographers.
The organisation's early focus was on providing a centre in Belfast for the promotion of excellence in photography through gallery space, a library with an archive of member's work, darkrooms and educational activities for schools. It also had plans for a publication programme and a key part of this was the journal Source that would promote awareness of and act as a forum for those interested in photography.
Initial money was raised through a raffle of donated prints from photographers that included Martin Parr, Willie Doherty and a set of self portrait's by Lee Friedlander. In 1993 the Arts Council of Northern Ireland agreed to cover production costs for four issues and to date funding has been maintained and steadily increased from ACNI. Within the funding climate and with the available voluntary energies Source increasingly became the focus of the organization. Based on the track record of Source the organization also went on to secure regular funding from the Irish Arts Council since 1998 and Belfast City Council since 2001.
Source gradually grew from its original 8 page A4 black and white format increasing in page numbers, changing format, printing in colour and regularly updating its design. The content of the early issues of the magazine included news, reviews, features and portfolios of individual photographers. These have remained a mainstay but as the magazine has increased to its current 80 page count they have increased in number along with new sections covering book publishing and specialist columns on photography and the law and a regular column analyzing advertising imagery.
Source secured office space in Botanic Avenue in 1994 before moving briefly to the city centre to a warehouse in Hector Street in 2000. In 2002 the magazine relocated to Clanmill arts and business units and remains a resident of the Cathedral Quarter arts community. The office has an impressive library of specialist books and magazines on photography which provides a valuable research resource for the editors and is also made available for consultation to researchers and visiting curators.

The KC Rain Cover works in tandem with the Deuter Sun Roof/Rain Cover (sold separately) to equip Deuter child carriers with complete rain and wind protection.
Deuter's best-selling child carrier, the Deuter Kid Comfort II, is now equipped with an improved swiveling waistbelt and boasts a sleek new look. A new elastic shove-it pocket adds a storage and organizational option.
In the late 1890's German entrepreneur Hans Deuter began manufacturing backpacks, tents, leather goods and wagon covers. By the 1930's, Deuter products were venturing into the highest and most rugged places on earth, as some of the earliest Himalayan expeditions were outfitted entirely with Deuter packs. Advancements in engineering and pack materials further established Deuter's presence in mountaineering, climbing and hiking circles.
Today, with cooperation from world-renowned organizations such as the German Association of Mountain and Ski Guides, the French Mountain Guides, the DAV Summit Club and the AMGA, Deuter's international development team is committed to continued innovation and technological advancement.

I've moved tumblrs.The new one will hopefully be more varied, expressive, and me. If you still wish to follow me or I follow you and you have changed names in the past few weeks, please let me know by replying to this or via ask box. I don't want to post the link because I think most people just follow this as a fashion blog and I want to return to feeling more like a part of a community. :) I will be leaving the blog up and letting the queue run out, but it will no longer be in use.
Thank you to everyone who supported this tumblr. ♥

I've been losing interest in my Tumbr. Because that the demands of school have so limited my use, and because I follow so many people, I can barely keep up with those who I consider friends. I also think my content has been less interesting, less me. It has just become some fashion blog, not mine.
So, in about 24 hours, I will for the most part stop using this tumblr. I may post some things from the queue, but nothing new will be added to my queue.
I will be starting a new Tumblr. There will be fewer posts; but, hopefully, the posts will be more diverse and better express who I am. If you want to follow me message me and I will let you know. Also, if you have changed your user-name in the past few weeks and I follow you, please let me know.
Thanks to all who have followed this Tumblr, and who have sent me kind messages :)

Cinema has long been a critical medium for exploring religious themes in mainstream culture. Today, filmmakers continue to find a distinctive religious voice.
Film as a source of revelation
Most Christians have not been encouraged to think theologically about divine encounters that take place outside the church and its scripture.
Rarely does blatant commercial hypocrisy sit so close to artistic excellence as was the case at the Hollywood screening of Stanley Kubrick's final film, Eyes Wide Shut.
When a summer film grosses over $48 million in its first week of wide release, we can assume that it is glossy and entertaining, perhaps boasting the latest special effects. But when that film has no known actors and costs a mere $30,000 to make—not even a pittance by Hollywood's Titanic standards—something else is going on. The film has hit a nerve.
Holy Smoke! (1999), directed by Jane Campion
Bonhoeffer: Agent of Grace (2000), directed by Eric Till
There was an innocent spirit in the movies that Preston Sturges made during World War II. His comedy was broad and his wit could be cutting, but at their core his films recall a time when we thought we had reason to be optimistic about the innate goodness of the human spirit. Sturges's style did not survive the cynical realism of the postwar era.

Firefighter denies arson chargeJune 10,2014Firefighter denies
arson charge
A firefighter denied in court Monday that he tried to burn down his house in March.
Ethan L. McArdle, 33, pleaded innocent in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge of arson in the first degree and a misdemeanor charge of reckless endangerment.
The former Carver Street resident, who now lists a Shoreham address, appeared in court on a citation and remains free on conditions that prohibit him from possessing any accelerants, explosive devices or materials capable of starting fires — except those required for his employment or the mowing of his mother's lawn.
McArdle, in an initial interview with investigators, denied any knowledge of how the March 31 fire started inside his home, but later admitted to starting the fire after Vermont State Police canine Biscuit detected the presence of accelerants in the area where the fire started.
McArdle, who served as a volunteer firefighter in Shoreham, told police that he had no financial motive, but that he simply did not like the house. McArdle also confessed to an insurance adjuster and a fellow firefighter with the Shoreham Fire Department, according to affidavits, and also sent a text to his wife confessing to starting the fire.

text: content LE Magazine November 2006 Selenium Important Health Benefits from an Overlooked Trace Mineral By Julius G. Goepp, MD When was the last time your doctor suggested that you supplement with selenium in an effort to prevent cancer? Scientists now know that this trace mineral has extraordinary value in fighting various cancers and other conditions involving oxidative stress and inflammation.1,2 Doctors assume that we get enough selenium through plant foods. Unfortunately, in many places in America and the rest of the world, including China and Russia, the soil is badly depleted of its selenium content because of acid rain, which can dramatically change the chemical composition of the soil. As a result, soil acidification alters of the ability of the soil to bind with vital elements such as selenium for assimilation into edible plants. Selenium's Unique Biochemical Properties What makes selenium unique? While scientists are still elucidating selenium's role in a multitude of biochemical processes, one of its chief attributes is serving as a component of specific proteins called selenoproteins. Almost all of these proteins are active in the defense against reactive oxygen species (free radicals), which fuel numerous diseases and the aging process itself through their damaging effects on DNA and proteins. Selenoproteins and their antioxidant products scavenge cell-damaging free radicals. Selenium is the only mineral nutrient that has its own DNA code, which instructs the body's protein-synthesis "machinery" to incorporate selenium into its host proteins. Scientists interpret this unique attribute as evidence of selenium's fundamental importance to virtually all living things on Earth.3 Selenium is available from many dietary sources, including garlic, Brazil nuts, and certain vegetables; however, the amount of bioavailable selenium from these sources varies tremendously, depending on the soil and weather conditions where the plants are grown.4 Foods containing selenium may also contain substances that limit selenium's bioavailability.5 Therefore, selenium supplementation is often recommended as a way to assure a dependable, bioavailable supply of this nutrient.6 Selenium deficiency is increasingly associated with adverse health conditions and even life-threatening diseases. People who live in selenium-poor regions of the world suffer from dramatically increased rates of cancer, infections, and inflammatory diseases.1,7-9 Fortunately, many of these conditions can be prevented and even reversed with selenium supplementation.10-13 In this article, we will examine how oxidative stress can increase our vulnerability to inflammation, infection, cancer, and cardiovascular disease, and how selenium and the selenoproteins work to counteract oxidative stress, even in people without overt selenium deficiency. Selenium Protects Against Oxidative Stress Scientists now generally recognize that most disease processes produce their effects through chemically reactive molecules known as free radicals. Free radicals are composed mostly of reactive oxygen and nitrogen compounds. These reactive oxygen species initiate a destructive cycle fueled in part by the body's own defense mechanisms. They disrupt the normal structure of proteins and the genetic information encoded in DNA. This damage always results in the release of potent chemical messengers called cytokines. Cytokines trigger the inflammatory response in tissues, signaling immune and inflammatory cells to swarm the affected area. This inflammatory reaction activates powerful factors deep within cell nuclei—such as nuclear factor-kappa beta (NFkB). These factors "translate" infection and inflammation into the uncontrolled cell replication that produces cancer.14 Strong evidence also suggests that NFkB and related compounds are involved in the conversion of oxidative damage, stress, and inflammation into the stimuli that produce atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.15 Selenium not only scavenges reactive oxygen species before these free radicals can damage cells, but also regulates nuclear factor activities deep within the cells themselves.16 For this reason, scientists now call selenium "one of the most promising agents" for the prevention and control of cancer.17 Laboratory evidence also supports selenium's role in protecting cardiac muscle from the effects of reduced blood flow, or ischemia.18 Under the extreme oxidative stress triggered by a severe infection, selenium has been shown to enhance the protective ability of intracellular antioxidant systems that use glutathione.19 Moreover, selenium specifically inhibits the activation of NFkB, which in turn inhibits the release of inflammatory cytokines. In fact, in laboratory studies, a reduction of selenium has been shown to increase levels of these inflammatory molecules.20 Research also shows that by reducing NFkB activity, selenium prevents the activation of inflammatory cells that contribute to vascular disease in type II diabetes.21 These laboratory findings underscore selenium's promise in preventing and treating a wide array of human diseases, while reducing the cumulative oxidative damage that underlies many of the deleterious changes associated with aging.22 Selenium Combats Inflammatory and Infectious Diseases The recognition of selenium's ability to prevent oxidative damage has fueled research into how selenium influences various chronic inflammatory conditions. For example, in a study of 70 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, selenium concentrations were found to be significantly lower than in a healthy population. When the subjects were given selenium or placebo for three months, the selenium-supplemented group showed fewer tender or swollen joints and less morning stiffness than did the control group. The supplemented patients also required less cortisone and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) than did the controls, and demonstrated a reduction in laboratory indicators of inflammation. No side effects of selenium supplementation were noted.23 Selenium has shown great promise in the treatment of autoimmune thyroiditis as well.24 In a recent study, 48 patients with elevated levels of an antibody to thyroid enzymes were given selenium daily for three months, while 40 patients received placebo. Serum levels of the antibody dropped significantly in the supplemented group compared to the placebo group, demonstrating that selenium suppressed the autoimmune attack on these patients' thyroid glands.25 Similar reductions in measures of autoimmune inflammatory response have been shown in other studies of selenium alone or in combination with other antioxidants.26-28 Many other autoimmune conditions are associated with low selenium levels, including autoimmune hepatitis and diabetes.29-32 Preliminary trials have demonstrated a protective effect of selenium supplementation against both hepatitis C and alcoholic hepatitis; both conditions involve a substantial inflammatory component that is thought to be mitigated by the actions of selenoproteins.33,34 FOUR DIFFERENT FORMS OF SELENIUM Selenium is available in a number of different forms for supplementation, and each has slightly different uses and benefits. Ideally, a good supplement should contain all four of the following forms of selenium for broad-spectrum protection. In the form of the salt, sodium selenite, selenium has been used to reduce post-operative swelling that is related to the increased free radical stresses produced by surgery.69 Related beneficial effects are seen when sodium selenite is used to protect against radiation treatment-induced swelling and inflammation.70,71 Sodium selenite has also demonstrated dramatic immune-boosting function in patients with borderline low selenium status.72 The natural metabolite of selenium, selenodiglutathione, contains a selenium ion bonded to two molecules of the potent antioxidant glutathione. This compound appears to be heavily involved in the cancer chemoprotective effects of selenium,73-76 as demonstrated by its ability to stimulate apoptosis, the programmed cell death the body uses to purge itself of incipient cancers.77,78 The selenium-containing amino acid, L-selenomethionine, is an essential component of the selenoproteins involved in controlling autoimmune diseases.79 It is also selectively accumulated in prostate tissue, where it has been shown to have cancer-fighting activity.80 As a component of an "antioxidant cocktail," L-selenomethionine can increase brain blood flow and scores on psychological testing in elderly people.81 Another selenium-containing amino acid complex, Se-methylselenocysteine, has especially great potential in the treatment of established cancers,82 where it has been shown to radically enhance the effects of traditional chemotherapy drugs while protecting against their toxicity.83 In one study, drug treatment alone was curative in only 30% of animals bearing human squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck; that rate rose to 100% with the addition of methylselenocysteine.84 Severe infection imposes some of the most concentrated oxidative stress of all human diseases. Selenium has shown important benefits for those with septic shock, one of the most troubling killers of people with infections, compromised immune systems, or those confined to the hospital. Now known as systemic inflammatory response syndrome, or SIRS, overwhelming infection leads to runaway release of cytokines and other inflammatory mediators, ultimately causing a dramatic failure of multiple organs and bodily systems.19 This condition, formerly known as "septic shock," has yielded dramatically to the inclusion of selenium in treatment protocols, as evidenced by two remarkable studies published in 1999. When 21 intensive-care patients with SIRS were given high-dose selenium (beginning at 535 mcg per day), their selenium and glutathione peroxidase levels normalized within three days; by contrast, selenium and glutathione peroxidase levels remained low in 21 control patients who received only "normal" amounts of selenium. Scores on a scale of physiological function were significantly better in the supplemented group than in the controls, and hemodialysis because of acute kidney failure was needed in only 3 of the 21 supplemented patients, compared to 9 of the 21 control patients.35 A similar study of 34 children with SIRS demonstrated markedly elevated activity of antioxidant enzymes in the selenium-supplemented group, with markers of lipid peroxidation and cell membrane destruction falling dramatically compared to controls.36 Continued on Page 2 of 2

Larger Utah population may warrant an extra House seat in Congress By Craig Halbasch news reporter I The Signpost The 2010 Census questionnaires will be mailed this month and the results have the potential to benefit Utah as well as Weber State University and its students. The census numbers determine the representation each state has in the House, of Representatives, and it is likely that Utah will gain an additional seat in the House. Robert Reynolds, WSU associate professor of sociology, has previously worked with the Census and said he believes the state's population has grown sufficiently to provide Utah with one more congressman. "Utah will definitely get a fourth congressperson in the House of Representatives this census," Reynolds said. "This will obviously give the state of Utah more power in legislative decisions." The additional power in Congress could bring more of the federal budget that is allocated by census figures to Utah. According to the census Web site, more than $400 billion are distributed to the states based off census numbers.That large sum of money goes to various projects such as road building and road repairs, hospitals, public works and schools. Reynolds said WSU and its students could benefit from this potential funding. "Education funds are dependent on the census number's," he said. "Grant and loan monies are allocated by the Census. Any monies also v r v !

Reynolds said many people don't return the questionnaires, which only hurts the community. "People don't need to be afraid to answer the census because there is only a benefit gained for (Weber State) University, for our county and for our state," Reynolds said. Rachael Parry, a freshman majoring in clinical lab sciences at WSU, said she is reluctant See Population page 5 By Michael R. Addams correspondent I The Signpost Representatives of the state of Utah hope the results of the 2010 U.S. Census will earn it another seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. However, the count may not be as accurate if not many are willing to participate due to fear of sharing information with law enforcement. , Federal laws found in United States Code, Title 13 and 44, require all residents to provide the requested information. There is less need for concern about personal information being leaked to other sources because data will remain private for 72 years, until the information is made public for historical purposes. ' The purpose of the U.S. Census is to count people living in the United States, citizens and non-citizens. The results determine where the populations are for House representation, voting districts and distribution of tax funds. The tax funds go to roads, education and other projects. U.S. Census Bureau employees are working to make sure everyone is counted through mailed questionnaires. The question range from age and ethnicity to household income and indoor plumbing. When households do not return a questionnaire, Census workers visit those households to get the information in person. See Immigrants page 5 Radio tax could sink independent stations Proposed bill would give 50 percent of tax to record labels By Kathryn Christian correspondent I The Signpost Washington, D.C. politicians have introduced a bill that would impose royalties on the songs radio stations play, which could have an effect on Weber State University students. The Performance Rights Act is a bill sponsored by the Recording Industry Association of America and aims to increase royalty fees paid to record labels and musicians by radio stations. "My overall thought on it is that I am not a fan of taxes in general and adding one more tax to something I think is just a bad idea, especially when the tax goes to the record labels and not as much to the artists," said Mike Addams, general manager for WSU's radio station, 88.1 The Edge. The bill proposes that 50 percent of the tax would go to record labels, 45 percent to the artist and 5 percent to musicians and background singers. "When these record labels are multimillion dollar industries," Addams said, "do we really need to be paying taxes to them that's going to make it even harder, espe cially for local smaller, more independent radio stations to even stay afloat?" The Edge probably won't be affected if the bill does pass, according to program director Billy Bommer. "We are a non-profit radio station, so I think non-profits would be excluded from the legislation," Bommer said. The Edge operates with a $30,000 budget each year and most of those fees go toward charting journals that detail what songs the station is playing. Although WSU's station might not be affected, students could still notice changes from other local stations.

Nearly - a dozen vendors showcased typical wedding essentials for future brides and grooms-to consider. "We wanted to call it Weddings-101 because, just as you learn the 101 basics with other curriculum on campus, this show brings the basics for wedding ideas," Olsen said. Wedding rings, photographs and bridal gown displays attracted many people who passed by, including Brandon Nance, a sophomore majoring in English who stopped to look at the wedding rings on display. "I was just walking through and . the rings were shining," he said, "and I . like shiny ;' things." Although getting married is not part 0 f his 1 m - mediate plans due to an upcoming two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Nance said the event was interesting."It's cool to look at all the stuff," he said. "The wedding dresses are pretty, but I'm kind of at a distance for now. Otherwise this could be way cool and I could be more interested."Other displays offered catering services with food samples for the students, or home ownership information for first-time homebuy-ers.Marty Quails, a loan originator from West Point, offered advice to those seeking to purchase their first home. "Students need to have fairly good credit," he said. "Otherwise, no down payment is needed because the Utah Housing Finance Agency can finance 100 percent of the loan." With the $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit coming to an end in April, Quails shared his doubt in another extension of the government's incentive. "Now is a perfect time to See Weddings page 1 0
