    Abstract Terminal weaning of patients follows a standardized medical care protocol. However, the evidence found for optimal terminal weaning protocols may lack individualization for the patient and family. As nursing students in the critical care unit, we have designed a conceptual model that bridges the gap between cultural diversity and terminal weaning. This conceptual model integrates comfort, organization, rituals, and environment into the process of terminal weaning. The model assists nurses in all specialties, particularly critical care, to provide culturally appropriate end-of-life care for the patient and their family.

    Abstract An autologous killed trivalent vaccine (3x10(8) colony-forming units [CFU]), based on three Salmonella serovars (Typhimurium - serogroup B, Mbandaka - serogroup C, and Orion - serogroup E) prevalent in the flocks of Australian poultry companies, was developed using Salenvac techniques. At 20 weeks, hens vaccinated at 12 and 17 weeks as well as non-vaccinated hens were challenged (250 microl of 10(7) CFU) with autologous and heterologous serovars belonging to serogroup B (Typhimurium and Agona), serogroup C (Mbandaka and Infantis) and serogroup E (Orion and Zanzibar). Overall, vaccination resulted in a significant difference in carriage of Salmonella between non-vaccinated and vaccinated commercial Cobb hens (P <0.05) for serogroups B and C. However, due to low colonization rates in the non-vaccinated birds, no significant difference (P>0.05) could be determined for serogroup E. All vaccinated flocks produced a significant antibody response (P<0.001) to the S. Typhimurium vaccine strain, measured using a S. Typhimurium enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Guildhay), which peaked at 20 weeks of age, with 39% of the hens positive. Maternal antibodies were detected in 16% of the yolks from eggs produced by these flocks. There was a significant difference after challenge with Salmonella (P <0.05) among 1-day-old chicks from vaccinated versus non-vaccinated parents, when challenged using 10(4) CFU but not when challenged with 10(8) CFU. The success of this trial resulted in the incorporation of this vaccine into a Salmonella control system in commercial broiler breeder production.

    Abstract An autologous killed trivalent vaccine (3x10⁸ colony-forming units [CFU]), based on three Salmonella serovars (Typhimurium - serogroup B, Mbandaka - serogroup C, and Orion - serogroup E) prevalent in the flocks of Australian poultry companies, was developed using Salenvac techniques. At 20 weeks, hens vaccinated at 12 and 17 weeks as well as non-vaccinated hens were challenged (250 µl of 10⁷ CFU) with autologous and heterologous serovars belonging to serogroup B (Typhimurium and Agona), serogroup C (Mbandaka and Infantis) and serogroup E (Orion and Zanzibar). Overall, vaccination resulted in a significant difference in carriage of Salmonella between non-vaccinated and vaccinated commercial Cobb hens (P <0.05) for serogroups B and C. However, due to low colonization rates in the non-vaccinated birds, no significant difference (P>0.05) could be determined for serogroup E.

Typhimurium enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Guildhay), which peaked at 20 weeks of age, with 39% of the hens positive. Maternal antibodies were detected in 16% of the yolks from eggs produced by these flocks. There was a significant difference after challenge with Salmonella (P <0.05) among 1-day-old chicks from vaccinated versus non-vaccinated parents, when challenged using 10⁴ CFU but not when challenged with 10⁸ CFU. The success of this trial resulted in the incorporation of this vaccine into a Salmonella control system in commercial broiler breeder production.

    Abstract We determined the susceptibility to antiviral drugs of clinical isolates of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) subtypes A, B, C, D, and E. Isolates from treated and untreated patients were tested for sensitivity to zidovudine (ZDV), lamivudine (3TC), didanosine (ddI), nevirapine (NVP), foscarnet (PFA), and ritonavir (RNV). The susceptibility to these different drugs was broadly similar between the different subtypes of HIV-1. Isolates of subtype D showed a tendency toward slightly lower susceptibility to all the antiviral drugs, which could be related to the rapid growth characteristics of these isolates.

    Abstract E-1-(2,3,6 Trimethylphenyl)buta-1,3-diene is a wine component which was recently identified in white wines. Tree C13-norisoprenoid compounds, 3,6,9-trihydroxymegastigma-4,7-diene, 3,4,9-trihydroxymegastigma-5,7-diene, and the actinidols were shown to generate E-1-(2,3,6 Trimethylphenyl)buta-1,3-diene under wine conservation conditions. After 173 days at 45 °C, approximately 4000-5000 ng/l of E-1-(2,3,6 Trimethylphenyl)buta-1,3-diene were formed from 1.0 mg/l of precursor, while at 25 °C more wine-like amounts (200-600 ng/l) were observed. Also hydrolysis of 4,5-dihydrovomifoliol-C9-\\beta\\-D-glucopyranoside produced E-1-(2,3,6 Trimethylphenyl)buta-1,3-diene, but in quantities insufficient to account for the levels observed in wine. 4,5-dihydrovomifoliol-C9-\\beta\\-D-glucopyranoside was isolated from grapevine leaves by multiplayer coil counter current chromatography (MLCCC).

    Abstract Platelet dense body secretion, monitored as released serotonin, when induced by 20 nM tetradecanoylphorbol acetate was enhanced by 10 microM cytochalasin E even in the absence of external calcium ions and aggregation. Secretion induced by 500 nM A23187 in the presence of 15 microM indomethacin was not changed by cytochalasin but the synergy between A23187 and phorbol ester was enhanced. Therefore, protein kinase C-mediated secretion is not dependent on filipodal development, granule centralization, external calcium ion concentration or aggregation but is enhanced selectively by cytochalasin. Because the synergy between kinase C and A23187 is very rapid, the rate determining step in the slow secretion induced by phorbol ester alone appears to be the step accelerated by a rise in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration.

    Abstract Three C13-norisoprenoid compounds, 3,6,9-trihydroxymegastigma-4,7-diene (6), 3,4,9-trihydroxymegastigma-5,7-diene (4), and the actinidols (8), have all been synthesized and subjected to acid hydrolysis. All three were shown to generate (E)-1-(2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)buta-1,3-diene (1) under wine conservation conditions. At 45 degrees C, approximately 4000-5000 ng/L of 1 was formed from 1.0 mg/L of precursor, after 173 days, while at 25 degrees C more wine-like amounts (200-600 ng/L) were observed. A glucoside, 4,5-dihydrovomifoliol-C9-beta-D-glucopyranoside (9b), was isolated from grapevine leaves by multilayer coil countercurrent chromatography (MLCCC), and its stereochemistry was deduced as being (5R, 6S, 9R) by NMR and CD spectroscopy. Hydrolysis of this glucoside produced 1, but in quantities insufficient to account for the levels observed in wine.

    Abstract The relation between the dietary intake of vitamins E, C, and A (estimated by a 24-hour recall) and lung cancer incidence was examined in the First National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Epidemiologic Followup Study cohort of 3,968 men and 6,100 women, aged 25-74 years. During a median follow-up period of 19 years (from 1971-1975 to 1992), 248 persons developed lung cancer. Adjusted for potential confounders using Cox proportional hazards regression methods with age as the underlying time variable, the relative risk of lung cancer for subjects in the highest quartile of vitamin C intake compared with those in the lowest quartile was 0.66 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.45-0.96). For vitamin A intake, a protective effect was observed only for its fruit and vegetable component (carotenoids) among current smokers (relative risk = 0.49, 95% CI 0.29-0.84), but this was modified by the intensity of smoking (a statistically significant effect (relative risk = 0.33, 95% CI 0.13-0.84) was observed only for those in the lowest tertile of pack-years of smoking). The vitamin E intake-lung cancer relation was modified by the intensity of smoking with a significant protective effect confined to current smokers in the lowest tertile of pack-years of smoking (relative risk = 0.36, 95% CI 0.16-0.83). Overall, there was no additional protective effect of supplements of vitamins E, C, and A beyond that provided through dietary intake. When vitamin E, vitamin C, and carotenoid intakes were examined in combination, a strong protective effect was observed for those in the highest compared with those in the lowest quartile of all three intakes (relative risk = 0.32, 95% CI 0.14-0.74). These data provide support for a protective role of dietary vitamins E and C and of carotenoids against lung cancer risk but with a modification in effects by the intensity of cigarette exposure. While smoking avoidance is the most important behavior to reduce lung cancer risk, the daily consumption of a variety of fruits and vegetables that provides a combination of these nutrients and other potential protective factors may offer the best dietary protection against lung cancer.

    Abstract The genes for apolipoprotein (apo) C-II, a cofactor for activation of lipoprotein lipase, and apo E, a ligand for receptor-mediated uptake of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, are physically linked on chromosome 19q13.1. In a large Caribbean Caucasian family, several individuals had clinical features of the complete absence of lipoprotein lipase activity and were homozygous for a DNA frameshift mutation of apo C-II, imparting functional inactivity to the mutant protein. Plasma from heterozygous carriers of this mutation, when compared with plasma from relatives who were noncarriers, had significantly diminished capacity to activate lipoprotein lipase in vitro. We also observed in heterozygotes for this mutation a wide range of serum lipid and lipoprotein levels. When age and sex were taken into account, the presence of a single apo E allele encoding the E4 isoform occurring in individuals with a single mutant apo C-II allele was strongly associated with higher levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, very low density lipoprotein cholesterol, and non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol when compared with those of relatives who carried neither or only one variant allele. This suggests that a single genetic mutation that usually has a recessive effect on lipoprotein metabolism can have an interactive effect on lipid phenotype when it is coinherited with a single mutation at another gene whose product affects the same metabolic pathway.
