Hereditary breast cancer: an update on genotype and phenotype.

A significant minority (5-10%) of breast carcinomas is considered of
hereditary origin. Part of them is associated to mutations in the BRCA1
and BRCA2 susceptibility genes, which have been extensively studied.
For their part, tumours in the non-BRCA1/BRCA2 breast cancer (BRCAx)
families are increasingly believed to originate from multiple genetic
events, as no "BRCA3" gene has been identified. The existence of
specific "portraits" among hereditary breast carcinomas (HBC) has been
questioned. Phenotype studies have shown that most BRCA1 tumours are
part of a "basal epithelial-like" group of lesions. In contrast, BRCA2
and BRCax HBC are more heterogenous, as also observed with sporadic
carcinomas. Genetic analysis has also been applied to HBC, notably with
the objective of resolving the heterogeneity of BRCAx lesions. This
chapter aims to summarise recent data on BRCA1, BRCA2, and BRCAx HBC,
and to provide hypotheses on the origin of BRCA1 lesions, their
high-frequency of P53 mutations, and their relations to
oestrogen-sensitivity.

Question: After blood monitoring from my Neurologist
who prescribes Tegretol and Depakote (both need blood
levels monitored) he was concerned how/why my
hemoglobin was low yet my Iron was high.

After finding a Hematologist & Gastro and having a
slew of blood, genetic tests, a CAT scan & Liver Biopsy
this is where I stand:

1. Beta Thalassemia trait (throughout family on mother's side);
2. mild anemia;
3. positive for presence of H63D mutation in the HFE gene, negative for
C282Y mutation;
4. Hemachromotosis / HHC Chromosome 6;
5. too much Iron in my liver;
6. being transitioned to a liver-safe epilepsy
medication Keppra versus the Depakote.

My liver function tests (LFT's) improved dramatically after a
phlebetomy and/or
transitioning from the Depakote to the Keppra.....

I'm curious if there are any other cases of this combination which
baffled my doctors for a few months until the genetic test, CAT and
biospy.........

And what risks if any are there for having a family ??

Thanks in Advance

Sadly, I have decided to get out of the business
of crushing the brain-dead skulls of deceitful,
dishonest members of the Scientific Establishment
in the pursuit of man's true origin and ancestry.
<
Hence, I have begun selling some of my petrified
bones, teeth and soft organs discovered between
anthracite veins in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
<
The first to go on the block on eBay is the giant
petrified tooth, eons older than any dinosaur bone
or tooth ever found and proving that the Theory
of Evolution is pure crap .
<
The giant petrified tooth is item No. 200005361863
and the starting bid is a modest $5, with a modest
reserve (the pseudoscientists have me SO disgusted).
<
You can also call up the item by searching for "Giant
Petrified Tooth."
<
Before it is sold, I only wish the gigantic creature,
whose tooth it was, could only bite the ass of those
arrogant, pompous bureaucratic dishonest snobs who
have desecrated the sacred name Science.

Description

Researchers have discovered that a drug used to treat tuberculosis
apparently cures patients of a Parkinson's-like illness suffered by
thousands of mineworkers, welders and others exposed to high levels of
the metal manganese.

Newswise - Researchers have discovered that a drug used to treat
tuberculosis apparently cures patients of a Parkinson's-like illness
suffered by thousands of mineworkers, welders and others exposed to
high levels of the metal manganese.

Manganese is used to produce steel alloys and as a coating on welding
rods, among other industrial applications. It replaced lead decades ago
as a component in unleaded gasoline, increasing the risks of manganese
intoxication for the general public, said one of the researchers, Wei
Zheng, a professor and University Faculty Scholar in Purdue's School of
Health Sciences.

When manganese builds up in toxic levels in the body, people suffer
from "occupational manganese parkinsonism," which causes symptoms
similar to Parkinson's disease. Victims experience hand tremors, poor
coordination, unsteady gait and a masklike inability to show facial
expressions, Zheng said.

Manganese contained in the coating of welding rods is released in
fumes. Welders involved in manufacturing vehicles, tanks and ships are
especially prone to manganese intoxication because they work in close
quarters, increasing their exposure to the metal, Zheng said.

"There are about 430,000 welders in the United States alone, and even
more in China, so manganese intoxication likely affects many people,
including workers involved in manganese mining and steel production,"
he said. "In Beijing, we found a high percentage of welders have these
symptoms."

While the condition's symptoms are similar to those of Parkinson's
disease, the standard treatments for Parkinson's disease, including the
drug levodopa, are not effective for manganese intoxication. A chemical
compound called EDTA has been used to help patients eliminate manganese
in the urine. The drug's effectiveness, however, is limited because it
is water-soluble, preventing it from readily passing through membranes
in the "blood-brain barrier," layers of cells surrounding blood vessels
that block substances from traveling from the blood into brain tissue.

Ten researchers from institutions around the world - including Purdue -
conducted a 17-year medical follow-up study on a manganese-poisoned
worker and about 80 other patients. The researchers learned that an
aspirinlike drug called sodium para-aminosalicylic acid, or PAS,
dramatically reduces symptoms on a long-term basis.

"The amazing thing is that this drug reverses Parkinson-type symptoms
of manganese intoxication," Zheng said. "We see remarkable improvement
after treatment with this drug even 17 years later."

PAS has been used for decades to treat tuberculosis and apparently can
cross the blood-brain barrier because it is fat-soluble, or lipophilic.
That's because the drug contains a structure known as a benzene ring,
which enables it to penetrate the membranes.

Findings will appear in the June issue of the Journal of Occupational
Environmental Medicine. The paper was written by Yue-Ming Jiang, Xue-An
Mo, Feng-Qi Du, Xue Fu and Xia-Yan Zhu, from Guangxi Medical University
in China; Hong-Yu Gao and Feng-Ling Liao, from Wuzhou Center for
Disease Prevention and Control in China; Jin-Lan Xie from the Wuzhou
Worker's Hospital in China; Enrico Pira from the University of Turin in
Italy; and Zheng.

The research has focused on China because that country is a major
manganese ore producer and provides one-third of the world's supply of
steel alloys.

The paper includes data from research involving a female Chinese
mineworker who suffered debilitating symptoms, including lack of
coordination, trouble walking and writing, and a masklike appearance
caused by tense facial muscles. The woman's symptoms nearly disappeared
after treatment with PAS in 1987, and she remained free of symptoms
when re-examined during a follow-up study in 2004.

The researchers suggest several possible mechanisms that enable the
drug to reverse symptoms of the illness. One is that the drug may
contain "chelating arms" that grab manganese.

"However, we are not just looking at this drug as a chelating compound,
but also as an anti-inflammatory, like aspirin," Zheng said.
"Historically, we have believed that neurodegeneration is permanent and
cannot be reversed, but PAS appears to shed light on a reversal
mechanism.

"It may possibly repair neurons. If this is true, this would be a major
finding, but further research will be needed to study this possibility.
We think the bigger picture is that the drug might also be used as a
treatment for Parkinson's disease, but much more work is needed to
confirm this theory."

Zheng's research has been funded by the National Institute of
Environmental Health Sciences, the U.S. Department of Defense and the
Purdue Research Foundation.

patology :: If one has plenty of DHEA, one has plenty of androstenediol

Cytokine. 2006 May 29; [Epub ahead of print]

Androstenediol ameliorates alterations in immune cells cytokine production
capacity in a two-hit model of trauma-hemorrhage and sepsis.

Suzuki T, Shimizu T, Szalay L, Choudhry MA, Rue LW 3rd, Bland KI, Chaudry
IH.

Center for Surgical Research and Department of Surgery, University of
Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL 35294, USA.

Although administration of androstenediol (a metabolite of
dehydroepiandrosterone) following trauma-hemorrhage (T-H) produces
beneficial effects on inflammatory cytokines and organ function, it remains
unknown whether this metabolite has any salutary effects in preventing
alterations in immune cell cytokine production following a combined insult
of T-H and sepsis. To examine this, male rats underwent laparotomy,
hemorrhagic shock (mean BP 40mmHg for 90min) and resuscitation or sham
operation. Androstenediol (1mg/kg BW i.v.) or vehicle was administered at
the end of resuscitation. Twenty hrs after T-H or sham operation, sepsis
was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Five hours thereafter,
plasma cytokine levels and cytokine production of various immune cells were
determined. In a separate set of experiments, survival was monitored for 10
days after the induction of sepsis. Administration of androstenediol
markedly decreased plasma IL-6 and TNF-alpha levels following T-H and CLP.
Furthermore, it prevented the increased production of IL-6 and TNF-alpha by
Kupffer cells and alveolar macrophages and attenuated the decrease in IL-6
and TNF-alpha production by splenic macrophages; however, it had no
significant effects on the depressed IL-6 and TNF-alpha production by PBMC
following T-H and CLP. The depressed IL-2 and IFN-gamma production by
splenocytes under those conditions was attenuated by the administration of
androstenediol. Furthermore, survival rate following T-H and subsequent
sepsis was improved by androstenediol treatment. Since androstenediol
administration following T-H attenuated cytokine production and reduced
mortality in a double-hit model of T-H and sepsis, this agent appears to be
a novel and useful adjunct for maintaining the immune cell functions
following T-H and for decreasing the mortality rate from subsequent
susceptibility to sepsis.

"Dim light disease" is a misperception that results from abnormality
within the visual cortex of the brain. Symptoms (equal and bilateral)
are:

1. False perception of dimness of light; normally bright light (e.g.
the sun) is peceived as MUCH dimmer. The day sky at 12:00 noon can
appears as bright as a 4-watt night-lamp would appear to the normal
eye.

2. Ability to perceive color and images with greater clarity as light
dims; colors and images can are best perceived in the absense of light.
The brighter the light the less clear images and colors are seen.

Pretty terrifying disease!!! Especially the dimness!!!!!!!

Hi:

I have heard that extreme nociception can cause shock due to its
affects on the autonomic nervous system.

Is A-delta-fiber nociception more likely to cause shock than C-fiber
nociception of the same intensity? I guess the answer is yes because
A-delta nociception results in sharp "stabbing" or "cracking" pain
[such as an injury to the periosteum of the sternum] whereas C-fiber
nociception results in a more dull, irritating, itching/aching sort of
pain [such as a mosquito bite].

It seems to me that the sensation induced by A-delta fiber stimulation
would have a greater affect on visceral reflexes [hemodynamics,
breathing, sweating] than that of C-fiber stimulation of the same
extent.

Am I right?

Thanks,

Radium

========================================== <
These pseudoscientists have long realized these discoveries
-- found between anthracite coal veins -- offer the physical,
undeniable evidence that man and large animals had
inhabited the earth multi-millions of years ago, eons
before Charles Darwin and the brainwashed evolutionists
have claimed they first made an appearance.
<
The Pseudoscience Establishment has treated these
incredible discoveries with disdain -- not to mention deceit,
deception, collusion and conspiracy. I have caught them
with their pants down, and they all know it.
<
Prime about the guilty parties is the Smithsonian Institution,
and I -- a taxpayer, GAO's BOSS -- demand that all funding
be cut off immediately. These scientific clowns are not worthy
of being given one red cent.
<
To deny my demand means the GAO is snoozin' on its watch,
a disgrace since it supposedly is the watchdog of the spending
of taxpayer dollars continues to be dished out -- with almost
reckless abandon -- to various universities and pseudo-research
centers .
<
Or perhaps the GAO doesn't care, just another example of its fear
-- and asshole buddy relationship -- with members of the
supremely powerful Scientific Estabishment which is phonier
than a $3 bill.

patology :: Questions About Mysterious Stimulation of A-Delta Fibers.

Author: Radium
Subject: Questions About Mysterious Stimulation of A-Delta Fibers.
Posted: Wed May 24, 2006 5:01 pm (GMT 0)
Topic Replies: 0

Hi:

Here is the theoretical scenario.

1. All my voluntary muscles [and their fibers] -- excluding breathing
muscles but including speech muscles -- are relaxed to a state of total
paralysis [no amount of stimulation (whether neural or direct electric
stimulation of the muscle fibers) could cause these muscles to contract
or "un-relax"]. Thus I am unable to move or vocalize.

2. While my breathing muscles are not paralyzed, my voluntary control
of them is totally lost [this means that my autonomic nervous system
has complete control over my respiration].

3. The motor nerves supplying my voluntary muscles -- including speech
muscles but excluding breathing muscles -- are also relaxed into total
paralysis [these motor nerves are hyper-polarized] and unable to
"un-relax".

4. My entire autonomic nervous system [and their effectors], my heart's
natural pacemaker, my natural pain-relieving -- and stress-relieving --
mechanisms, smooth muscles [including those in the respiratory system],
endocrine, hormonal, and immune systems remain totally unresponsive to
the infliction of even the most excruciating pain.

5. The parts of my brain that deal exclusively with movement,
contraction/relaxation of all voluntary muscles [including speech
muscles but excluding breathing] muscles are also relaxed into a state
of hyperpolarization.

6. The parts of my brain that deal solely with voluntary -- but not
involuntary -- control of breathing are also relaxed into
hyperpolarization.

7. All pain reflexes -- somatic and visceral -- are totally paralyzed.

The above symptoms are induced by some mysterious power and last for an
hour. Ten minutes after the above symptoms start, each and every
A-delta fiber throughout my body are stimulated all at the same time by
that same mysterious source and does not cause any actual injury. The
massive A-delta stimulation then ends [in an abrupt and sudden "flash"]

10 minutes before the above 7 listed symptoms end.

My questions:

Q1. What symptoms -- other than the obvious sharp pain -- will I most
likely experience during the A-delta stimulation?

Q2. What symptoms -- other than the obvious relief of the sharp pain --
will I most likely experience after the A-delta stimulation stops?

Q3. Will I continue to experience any other symptoms after the above 7
listed symptoms stop**? If so, what symptoms?

**The 7 listed symptoms will end in a flash after the hour is up

http://courses.washington.edu/conj/sensory/pain.htm

Quotes from the above site:

"An A-delta fiber responds to either mechanical stimuli or temperature
stimuli in the painful realm and produces the acute sensation of sharp,
bright pain."

"By contrast, a C fiber can respond to a broad range of painful
stimuli, including mechanical, thermal or metabolic factors. The pain
produced is slow, burning, and long lasting."

Thanks,

Radium

Well, I'll be an Uncle's monkey.

I just got a nasty e-mail from the producer of Larry King Live
informing me that I've been scratched from my scheduled re-appearance
on the show in mid-May.
<
He informed me that I am NO LONGER WELCOME (his
emphasis, not mine).
<
Honestly, I can't figure out why.

New-Look EMMY for Ass-Kisser Larry King -- "United 93"

I watched Larry King Live tonight -- featuring the movie "United 93"
-- and hereby nominate him for the new-look Emmy award.

After the first half-hour or so, I wanted to puke.

Looks like the Bush and the rest of the tyrants will continue to get

Couldn't stand Larry King's ass-kissing any longer and had to change
the channel. I preferred watching "The Godfather" for the umpteenth
time.

patology :: DHEA and "neuroprotection"

FASEB J. 2006 Mar;20(3):577-9. Epub 2006 Jan 11

G protein-associated, specific membrane binding sites mediate the
neuroprotective effect of dehydroepiandrosterone.

Charalampopoulos I, Alexaki VI, Lazaridis I, Dermitzaki E, Avlonitis N,
Tsatsanis C, Calogeropoulou T, Margioris AN, Castanas E, Gravanis A.

Heraklion, Greece.

The neurosteroid dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) at 1 nM protects
NMDA-/GABAA-receptor negative neural crest-derived PC12 cells from
apoptosis. We now report that membrane-impermeable DHEA-BSA conjugate
replaces unconjugated DHEA in protecting serum-deprived PC12 cells from
apoptosis (IC50=1.5 nM). Protection involves phosphorylation of the
prosurvival factor Src and induction of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2
and is sensitive to pertussis toxin. Binding assays of [3H]DHEA on isolated
PC12 cell membranes revealed saturation within 30 min and binding of DHEA
with a Kd of 0.9 nM. A similar binding activity was detectable in isolated
membranes from rat hippocampus and from normal human adrenal chromaffin
cells. The presence of DHEA-specific membrane binding sites was confirmed
by flow cytometry and confocal laser microscopy of DHEA-BSA-FITC stained
cells. In contrast to estrogens and progestins, glucocorticoids and
androgens displaced DHEA from its membrane binding sites but with a 10-fold
lower affinity than DHEA (IC50=9.3 and 13.6 nM, respectively). These agents
acted as pure antagonists, blocking the antiapoptotic effect of DHEA as
well as the induction of Bcl-2 proteins and Src kinase activation. In
conclusion, our findings suggest that neural crest-derived cells possess
specific DHEA membrane binding sites coupled to G proteins. Binding to
these sites confers neuroprotection.
