    • - Category : Conferences
    The Animal Model Development Workshop will explore the scientific and regulatory challenges of developing medical countermeasures (MCM) under the FDA Animal Rule??? (21 CFR 314.600 for drugs; 21 CFR 601.90 for biological products). The goals of this workshop are to highlight the significant progress made in animal model development for MCMs, review recent case studies of products under development using animal models, and capture lessons learned to inform future animal model development efforts. In addition, the workshop will provide a forum to discuss current challenges and identify potential solutions or mitigation strategies.

  • Working to end the HIV pandemic: Glimmers of Hope

    The Annual Rolla E. Dyer Lecture

    The efficiency of transmission of HIV-1 depends on the infectiousness of the index case and the susceptibility of those exposed. Infectiousness is dictated by the concentration of HIV-1 and the viral genotype and phenotype. People newly infected with HIV-1 (i.e. acute infection) and those with STD co-infections excrete such a large concentration of virus as to be ???hyperinfectious???. The probability of HIV-1 transmission may be as low as 1/10,000 episodes of intercourse or 1/10 sexual exposures when anal intercourse is practiced. The transmission of HIV is generally limited a small number of founder variants which themselves may be ???hyperinfectious???. Synergistic behavioral and biologic HIV prevention strategies have been developed and implemented. Safer sex includes limiting the number of sexual partners and use of male latex condoms, and these strategies appear to have contributed to reduced HIV-1 incidence in many countries. Biological interventions have proven catalytic: These include voluntary male circumcision and use of antiviral agents either for infected people (who can be rendered less contagious) or as pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP and PEP). Ecologic evidence suggests that broader, earlier antiviral treatment of HIV may be reducing incidence in some (but not all) populations. However, maximal benefit of HIV ???treatment for prevention??? and application of PrEP will likely require a program of universal ???test and treat???, where many more infected patients are identified, linked to care, and treated very early in disease and for life. Community randomized trials designed to support this approach are underway in Africa. The ???test and treat??? prevention strategy is resource intensive and serves to emphasize the urgent need for even more research devoted to HIV-1 vaccine development, or cure of the infection.

    The NIH Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series includes weekly scientific talks by some of the top researchers in the biomedical sciences worldwide.

  • A Community-Based Participatory Approach to a Hepatitis B Intervention for Underserved Korean Americans
    • - Grace X. Ma Ph.D., Temple University (2012/09/22)
    • - Category : Health Disparities
    NIH Health Disparities

    Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and liver cancer are severe health problems among Korean Americans. Most Korean Americans are neither screened nor vaccinated against HBV due to substantial access barriers. Nearly 80 percent of Korean Americans attend churches regularly, making churches ideal venues for promoting HBV prevention and intervention. The presentation will highlight a unique community-academic-clinical partnership of academic researchers and Korean church partners, to use community-based participatory research approaches to address HBV issues and health care access barriers encountered by underserved Korean communities. Dr. Ma will share progress of the project, discuss the roles and contributions of church partners, as well as challenges and lessons learned for how to sustain intervention programs in a Korean church environment.

    Dr. Grace X. Ma is a tenured full Professor in the Department of Public Health and Director of Center for Asian Health, College of Health Professions at Temple University. Dr. Mas research focuses on community-based participatory intervention research (CBPR), early detection, patient navigation of Hepatitis B, cancers and chronic illnesses, smoking cessation, access and quality of healthcare in medically underserved, uninsured and high-risk Asian American populations. In 2000, Dr. Ma founded the Center for Asian Health, one of the first in the nation dedicated to reducing cancer and other health disparities among Asian Americans. Dr. Ma in partnership with Asian community leaders co-founded the first Asian Community Health Coalition (ACHC) in the Eastern region of the U.S., including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York City and Washington DC areas.

    The Annual Florence Mahoney Lecture

    Aging is a process that is generally viewed as unidirectional, relentless, and inevitable. However, in addition to the existence of non-aging species, or at least species with negligible senescence, data from a wide range of living organisms suggests that environmental influences can markedly slow and even halt the aging process. Furthermore, recent experimental evidence suggests that aspects of the molecular and functional characteristics of aged cells and tissues even in mammals can be restored to a more youthful state. Analyses of age-related changes in cells have revealed clear epigenetic changes, and the reversibility of some of those processes, in essence leading to cell and tissue rejuvenation, suggest epigenetic mechanisms.

    Current studies focus on understanding the nature and regulation of those epigenetic mechanisms and the extent to which the aging clock can be rewound or reset by defined environmental influences while leaving other cellular characteristics, such as their state of differentiation, intact.

    • - Category : NCCAM Lectures
    Connective tissue forms a body-wide network whose role in musculoskeletal health and disease is gaining increasing attention. In particular, connective tissue is emerging as a potential contributor to musculoskeletal pain as well as a target for therapies including yoga, massage and acupuncture.

    This talk will present recent evidence on connective tissue pathology associated with low back pain and on the effect of stretching on pain and inflammation.
