This raises a question: I've been told by a colleague that cyanide builds up in the body tissues over time, and that after years of slight sublethal doses, one more tiny dose can "push a person over the edge" suddenly. This was part of his mandatory education working in an analytical chemistry lab some 40 years ago. This seems completely at odds with my understanding of the chemistry involved in cyanide toxicity, and I'm curious as to whether this is at all possible - I'm a professional entomologist, and am exposed to sublethal doses of cyanide hundreds of times a year, virtually every time I use a killing jar. I can't believe that I'm just cranking up some invisible physiological ratchet, and priming myself to drop dead some day when I catch that one fatal whiff.

Hoesch writes again: Two comments. 1) If cyanide preferentially binds to metHb, how would this affect the electrophoretic pattern? In practice, one sees a reduction in the number of Hb bands. Could the binding of one CN- per molecule knock the pI of the resulting complex completely out of the gradient? (This is the only thing I can think of) 2) Doug, I've never heard of "cumulative cyanide toxicity" and it doesn't make sense to me either. Cyanide is very water soluble and would tend to be excreted. And if it does bind irreversibly to metHb, the mean lifetime of red blood cells is only something like 120 days, after which they are taken out of circulation. At that point the cyanide should be released and excreted.

That's a new one on me. But then toxicology has a lot of folklore in it. In fact, the idea of using amyl nitrite as an antidote is a bit of folklore, since if you get a good faceful of HCN you will be off the planet before anyone can find the stuff. The main purpose of amyl nitrite ampoules is probably to make people feel more comfortable working with cyanide. During my undergraduate days, I got a little sniff of HCN and it was like being hit in the face with a two-by-four. It reduced me to semiconsciousness in a second or two, but I recovered over the next few minutes and did not even need treatment. In favor of your friend, there was the case of the silver-recovery plant in Chicago a while ago where a man died after years of leaning over vats containing cyanide used for leaching silver from photo film. The plant owners had criminal charges brought against them. Either the guy died from the cumulative dose, or one day he just got too big a whiff. Perhaps the body cannot replace or regenerate the cytochrome oxidase fast enough to support the attrition from continual exposure? ************************************************************************ Bill Penrose, Sr. Scientist, Transducer Research, Inc., 600 N.

Good News! The UCLA Center for East-West Medicine, UCLA School of Medicine presents the "International Conference on Integrative East-West Medicine '96, Incorporating Traditional Chinese Medicine in your Practice to Enhance Patient Care" (Sponsored by: UCLA School of Medicine Office of Continuing Medical Education and UCLA Center for Pacific Rim Studies) at the Miramar Sheraton Hotel, 101 Wilshire Boulevard, Santa Monica, California 90401, February 14-17, 1996 (Wednesday to Saturday). The conference chairman is Center Director Ka Kit Hui, M.D., F.A.C.P., Associate Professor of Medicine, UCLA School of Medicine. Conference Description: This four-day intensive clinically- oriented conference is designed for physicians and other health- care professionals interested in learning about traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and in incorporating this system of medicine into their practice and lifestyle. The focus will be on modern concepts and applications of TCM as well as its practical synergistic integration with modern western medicine in clinical care. The case discussion format with demonstration and hands-on experience using patients and cases from the Center clinic will be used throughout this educational event to: 1) Illustrate the similarities and differences between traditional Chinese medicine and modern western medicine as well as their respective strengths and weaknesses in their approach to patients. 2) Show how integration of the two systems of medicine can be utilized to improve patient care. 3) Optimize the learning of essential acupuncture points, Chinese herbs and formulas as well as health-promoting TCM mental and physical exercise. During this conference, discussion of modern research findings, sharing of clinical pearls, hands-on teaching and demonstrations with patients will be delivered by an international panel of faculty who are experienced physicians/clinical investigators/educators well-versed in integrative East-West medicine. Attendees will also learn some simple health enhancing exercises and methods for their own use. Objectives: At the conclusion of the conference, the participants will acquire new clinical problem-solving ideas and skills from TCM that they can easily apply to patient management. These concepts and techniques have been taught to medical students and residents and used successfully in the Center clinic in patient care at UCLA. At the end of the first two days, participants will be able to: 1) have a basic understanding of the theory, diagnostic skills and treatment principles and techniques used in TCM 2) understand how to integrate TCM with conventional medicine in optimizing patient care, and 3) appreciate the progress of modern research on TCM and integrative East-West medicine. The one-day hands-on session involving acupuncture will familiarize participants with the location and effects of 20 key acupuncture points as well as their application in the treatment of medical conditions commonly encountered in clinical practice. The one-day in-depth session on Chinese herbal medicine will allow participants to master the properties and effects of 20 commonly used herbs and 10 herbal formulas as well as their application in the treatment of common medical problems. Attendees are encouraged to bring cases for discussion. Who should attend: Primary care physicians, internal medicine specialists, pain specialists, nurses, dietitians, physician assistants and other health-care professionals who wish to add a new dimension to their understanding of an approach to health and disease. The main topics include: "Why Learn Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)? How Does It Differ From Western Medicine?", "How TCM Practitioners Diagnose And Treat Patients", "Basic Concepts Of TCM And Modern Research Findings", "TCM Differential Diagnosis And Treatment Principles", "Introduction To Chinese Physical And Mental Exercises: Tai-Chi And Qi-Gong", "Herbal Medicine And Acupuncture In The United States: An Overview Of The Regulation, Products And Patterns Of Use", "Introduction To Chinese Herbal Medicine/Dietetics", "Clinical Application And Pharmacological Basis Of Chinese Herbal Medicine"', "Introduction To Acupuncture And Other Forms Of Acupoint Stimulation", "Scientific Research And Modern Use Of Acupuncture". Also included are detailed discussions with hands-on demonstrations of modalities (common and important acupuncture points and herbs) that can be integrated with conventional Western medicine for symptom control and management of common conditions such as: women's health problems, myofascial pain syndrome, fibromyalgia, chronic degenerative diseases, vascular diseases, stress and others.

Thus, if there is a mixture of reduced and oxidized irons present in the = Hb solution, there will be a mixture of pIs (and presumably multiple IEF bands).

Graduate studies in plant ecological genetics at the University of Tennessee Ecological genetics is a broad field in evolutionary biology dealing with the genetic basis of ecologically relevant traits in livi= ng organisms. It has a complex history and is currently an exciting area of research where organismal and molecular biologists can i= nteract. Projects in ecological genetics offer a unique opportunity for combining field and laboratory studies, learning about the u= se of molecular markers in ecology, about multivariate statistical analyses, and about modern evolutionary quantitative genetics. Tw= o new laboratories conducting studies in plant ecological genetics have recently been established at the University of Tennessee in = Knoxville, which already has a long tradition of activity in plant ecology. A brief description of the research programmes currently= undergoing in these labs follow. We are interested in attracting bright and motivated students to our PhD program in the Department= s of Botany and of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. Massimo Pigliucci (PhD, University of Connecticut). Genetics and evolution of plants' responses to environmental changes. My primar= y interest is in the genetics and evolution of plants' reaction to changes in environmental conditions, often referred to as phenot= ypic plasticity. In general, however, I am interested in the study of the evolution of multivariate (whole-organism) phenotypes. The= work that is currently ongoing in my lab uses the mustard weed Arabidopsis thaliana as a model system, and investigates the regulat= ory genes responsible for sensing alterations in light quality associated with the competition regime. I am also looking at the evol= ution of plasticity in this genus, applying comparative methods based on a known phylogeny derived with the use of molecular markers= The objective is to reconstruct the changes in the plants' ability to react to environmental stimuli during the transition from hi= gh-altitude environments, typical of the ancestral species in the group, to the low-altitude environments, characteristic of more re= cently derived taxa. Dr. Hilary Callahan will be joining my lab in 1996 as a postdoctoral associate studying natural selection on pl= asticity in wild populations of A. thaliana in Tennessee. In addition to the Arabidopsis system, there are a number of species that = occur in this region (particularly in the Great Smoky Mountains and the Cumberland Plateau) that would be ideal experimental organis= ms for the study of phenotypic plasticity and, more in general, ecological genetics.

Cruzan Departments of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology / Botany Genetic marker approaches to plant evolutionary ecology. My students and I are working on a variety of questions in plant populati= on biology. Ongoing projects in the lab include: 1) analyses of plant mating interactions that encompass the areas of pollination b= iology, pollen-pistil interactions, and mecahnisms affecting variation in the proportion of selfed and outcrossed progeny; 2) the st= ructure and dynamics of hybrid zones using genetic marker techniques in field and lab experiments, and 3) the use of linkage mappin= g procedures to examine the genetic architecture of inbreeding depression and its population cosequences under field and lab conditi= ons. In these projects we endeavor to integrate field studies with lab analyses using allozyme and PCR-based genetic marker techni= ques, microscopy, and computer-aided video image acquisition and analyses. Our studies of species in the local region and in Florid= a touch on issues in evolutionary biology, ecology, and conservation biology. Examples of recent publications: Cruzan, M.B. and M.L.

The Knoxville Area The city of Knoxville and vicinity provide a congenial environment for graduate studies in plant ecological genetics. As a medium= -sized city (250-300 thousand), Knoxville possesses a cultural diversity that rivals much larger metropolitan areas. There is a var= iety of musical formats and performing arts available including very active Jazz and folk music scenes, several classical organizati= ons, ballet, and opera. One of the more attractive features the university is the ease of access to local natural areas including = the Smoky Mountain National Park, the southern Appalachian and Cumberland Mountains. It is possible to live in a relatively rural s= etting and still be within minutes of campus. The low cost of living and numerous recreation opportunities complement the excellent= graduate programs in biology at the University of Tennessee. ---------------------------------9252354413403-- From owner-population-bio@net.bio.net Sun Dec 10 22:00:00 1995 Path: biosci!internet!biosci!not-for-mail From: biohelp (BIOSCI Administrator) Newsgroups: bionet.population-bio Subject: IMPORTANT: BIOSCI miniFAQ Date: 11 Dec 1995 02:00:47 -0800 Organization: BIOSCI International Newsgroups for Molecular Biology Lines: 202 Sender: daemon@net.bio.net Distribution: world Message-ID: <199512111000.CAA22064@net.bio.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: net.bio.net (LAST REVISION: 08-DEC-95) This is a new "miniFAQ" designed to answer the questions that come up the *most frequently*. The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/. Contents: -------- 1) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. 2) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. 3) How to access BIOSCI/bionet newsgroup archives. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. 1) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups) and mailing lists. The same postings are distributed on both media (except for a small number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net). Unfortunately it is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of newsgroups and mailing lists. These attempts to grab free advertising are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net terminology. USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the mailing lists. However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses and hit these too, so neither medium is immune. What should you do personally if you get junk mail? --------------------------------------------------- Just delete it and move on without reading it further. Filing a protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from. Unless you really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing. What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups? ---------------------------------------------------- The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup. If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape. Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists completely. Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the time to review each message before it goes out. We have set up software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed. This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass it on, say about 1 min. per message. Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible for their newsgroup. The discussions leaders and their e-mail addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. If a newsgroup is being hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group. Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your complaint. With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net. We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator is willing to do the work. For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this entails only a few minutes of work each day. Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings on the USENET distribution. Unfortunately there are easy ways for determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET, but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if the newsgroup is moderated. We are working on new systems to provide access to our newsgroups over the WWW. These will be available by 11 December 1995 and will allow you to use your Web browser to look at the news postings via our Web site at URL http://www.bio.net. While this Web interface will not stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of your personal mail files. For those of you with local USENET news systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new newsgroups and recent postings. 2) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the newsgroups and mailing lists. People who do this only bother everyone on the lists to no avail. Please be sure to follow the proper procedures below. Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at http://www.bio.net. Below we give an example utilizing the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites: Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI ------------------------------------------------------------------ node at computer net.bio.net: ---------------------------- A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the group. These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is methods@net.bio.net. The listname is the portion of the address to the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods". The listname is used with the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below. B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to biosci-server@net.bio.net. Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup posting addresses! Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it will be ignored. C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g., subscribe methods unsubscribe methods end Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines. The server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list. Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells you that you are not a member. Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at -------------------------------------------------------------------- computer daresbury.ac.uk (also known as dl.ac.uk): ------------------------------------------------- To subscribe and unsubscribe to/from the BIOSCI lists, you need to specify the full USENET newsgroup name with "bionet-news." prepended. The USENET newsgroup names are listed in the BIOSCI Information sheet on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list the USENET newsgroup name is bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts, thus the appropriate commands are sub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts unsub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts These commands are included in a message addressed to mxt@dl.ac.uk, NOT to the newsgroup mailing addresses. As usual, include the text in the body of the message as text on the Subject: line is ignored. To unsubscribe from all the lists at the UK node, use unsub bionet-news Please note that if the address in the list is different than the one in your mail message header, you will not be able to unsubscribe by this method. If you have problems, please mail biosci@daresbury.ac.uk. 3) How to access BIOSCI/bionet newsgroup archives. -------------------------------------------------- Back postings of all BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups can be found on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/. There are several searchable newsgroup indices at this site. E-mail users can search the BIOSCI archives by using our waismail e-mail server. For instructions send the message help to waismail@net.bio.net. Leave the Subject: line blank (anything entered on the Subject: line is ignored). 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. ----------------------------------------------------------- Please take this opportunity to add your name, address, and research interest information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. You can fill out the address form directly through our Web page at URL http://www.bio.net/adrform.html. The address database is reindexed nightly for WWW access (the URL is http://www.bio.net/). If you are not directly on the Internet but can reach it by e-mail, please use our waismail server to access the user directory. waismail use is described above. You can also request a user address form by e-mail from biosci-help@net.bio.net. Please check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your address information is still up-to-date. Because of our limited personnel resources, we ask that you resubmit a *complete* form to revise your entry; we only replace complete entries and do not have resources to edit old forms.

Four research areas are currently under investigation: 1) Zooplankton diversity: allozyme and DNA markers will be used to diagnose unrecognized species invasions and to ascertain the source locations of currently recognized exotics. Contact P.D.N. Hebert Email: phebert@uoguelph.ca, 2) Theoretical ecology: mathematical theory of biological invasions. Contact P. Yodzis Email: pyodzis@uoguelph.ca, 3) Zooplankton feeding ecology: feeding rates and prey electivities, effects of _Bythotrephes density on per capita feeding rates, and spatial distribution of this predator and its prey. Contact W.G. Sprules Email: gsprules@cyclops.erin.utoronto.ca, 4) Diffusion of exotic species: development of microsatellites for species of exotic molluscs and GIS modelling of diffusion from the source populations identified with these molecular markers. Contact E.G. Boulding Email: boulding@uoguelph.ca. Application packages should include a resume, academic transcripts, the names, telephone numbers, and Email addresses of three academic referees, and an explanation of how your background relates to the position and should be sent to: Dr. Elizabeth Boulding, Dept. of Zoology, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario, Canada N1G 2W1. Positions will remain open until they are filled. D.K. Padilla (U. Wisconsin, Madison) and J.E. Havel (Southwest Missouri State U.) are also collaborators on this project. The University of Guelph is committed to an employment equity program that includes special measures to achieve diversity among its faculty and staff.
