The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of furniture polish (FP) on the release of cat allergen (Fel d 1)-laden dust from wood surfaces and decay of Fel d 1 in dust over time. About 2 g of sieved (150 microm screen) allergen-laden dust was introduced as an aerosol into an experimental chamber by a Pitt-3 generator and allowed to settle onto two finished wood surfaces pre-treated with either distilled water (DW) or FP. After 24 h, each surface was vacuumed into separate plastic cassettes loaded with 37 mm diameter, 0.4 microm pore, polycarbonate filters. The recovered dust was weighed, extracted in phosphate-buffered saline, and assayed for Fel d 1 content using a two-site monoclonal antibody ELISA. After vacuuming, the remaining dust on the wood surfaces was wiped up with a water-moistened swab. The dusts were extracted from the swabs and assayed by ELISA for Fel d 1. More Fel d 1 was recovered by vacuuming from DW-pre-treated surfaces than from FP pre-treated surfaces (100% vs. 69 +/- 66%). On the contrary, more residual Fel d 1 (>99.9%) on the vacuumed surfaces was recovered from FP than from DW pre-treated surfaces by wet swabs. The concentration of Fel d 1 in dust did not change significantly at room temperature over 80 days. In conclusion, FP on wood surfaces makes dust stick to the surface, which likely reduces the release of allergen-laden dust from the wood surface. Re-aerosolization of cat allergen-laden dusts from wood surfaces (e.g. wood floor or furniture) significantly increases the concentration of airborne cat allergens. Our study indicates that exposure to airborne cat allergens might be reduced by surface treatment with commercially available FP because cat allergen-laden dusts stuck more tightly to the wood surface treated with FP.

TGFβ activated kinase 1 (TAK1), a member of the MAPKKK family, controls diverse functions ranging from innate and adaptive immune system activation to vascular development and apoptosis. To analyse the in vivo function of TAK1 in cartilage, we generated mice with a conditional deletion of Tak1 driven by the collagen 2 promoter. Tak1col2 mice displayed severe chondrodysplasia with runting, impaired formation of secondary centres of ossification, and joint abnormalities including elbow dislocation and tarsal fusion. This phenotype resembled that of bone morphogenetic protein receptor (BMPR)1 and Gdf5-deficient mice. BMPR signalling was markedly impaired in TAK1-deficient chondrocytes as evidenced by reduced expression of known BMP target genes as well as reduced phosphorylation of Smad1/5/8 and p38/Jnk/Erk MAP kinases. TAK1 mediates Smad1 phosphorylation at C-terminal serine residues. These findings provide the first in vivo evidence in a mammalian system that TAK1 is required for BMP signalling and functions as an upstream activating kinase for Smad1/5/8 in addition to its known role in regulating MAP kinase pathways. Our experiments reveal an essential role for TAK1 in the morphogenesis, growth, and maintenance of cartilage.

Their results, from a large long-term study, support current guidelines that recommend people of average risk for the disease undergo colonoscopy every 10 years.1 Co-senior author Shuji Ogino, MD, PhD, an associate professor in the department of epidemiology at HSPH, says that previously insufficient evidence existed regarding how much colonoscopy reduces colorectal cancer incidence and mortality, particularly among patients in whom the cancer originates in the proximal part of the colon. Evidence from this study demonstrates that colonoscopy is effective in preventing cancer in both the distal and proximal regions of the colorectum, whereas sigmoidoscopy alone is insufficient for preventing proximal disease, he adds. Dr. Ogino and his colleagues reviewed data from 88,902 participants in both the Nurses' Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-Up Study. Participants completed questionnaires every 2 years between 1998 and 2008, and researchers documented 1815 cases of colorectal cancer and 474 deaths from the disease. They found that colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy were linked to a decreased risk of either developing colorectal cancer or dying of it. Although colonoscopy was found to lessen the risk of cancers originating in the proximal colon, it was more effective against those arising in the distal colon. The procedure's decreased effectiveness in reducing the risk of tumors developing in the proximal colon may be attributed to molecular and biological differences between the 2 cancers, researchers say. Additional findings include: If all study participants had undergone colonoscopies, an estimated 40% of colorectal cancers, would have been prevented. Individuals who undergo colonoscopies and are cleared of any problems have a significantly reduced risk of colorectal cancer for up to 15 years after the procedure; however, those with a personal history of adenoma or a family history of colorectal cancer should be screened more often. Colorectal cancers diagnosed within 5 years of a colonoscopy had different molecular characteristics compared with those diagnosed more than 5 years after the procedure. They also may be harder to detect and fully remove. Reference 1 Nishihara R, Wu K, Lochhead P, et al. Long-term colorectal-cancer incidence and mortality after lower endoscopy.

In order to develop baseline data about United States office buildings, the United States Environmental Protection Agency conducted the Building Assessment Survey Evaluation (BASE) study, a systematic survey of 100 randomly selected United States office buildings, in the 1990s. This paper analyzes the self-reported work-related symptoms and job and workplace characteristics of 4326 respondents and compares results to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's (NIOSH) study of 80 'complaint' buildings. Four distinct groups of symptoms, representing 'tiredness', 'mucosal irritation', 'neuropsychological', and 'lower respiratory' conditions emerged from factor analysis of work-related symptoms. The symptom grouping is identical for both surveys. Although the prevalence of each symptom is significantly higher in the NIOSH than in the BASE sample, there is overlap of the symptom distributions. In the BASE survey, 45% of the work force reported at least one work-related health symptom; 20% reported at least three symptoms. These findings imply that it is counterproductive to dichotomize buildings into healthy vs. unhealthy; instead the prevalence of health problems related to buildings span a continuum. These results indicate that most office buildings have occupants who report building-related symptoms. This paper provides practical guidance for the comparison of building prevalences to the BASE normative data. Work-related symptom distributions and symptom groups can improve investigators' ability to identify IEQ problems.

David Bates is Chief, Division of General Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Medical Director, Clinical and Quality Analysis at Partners HealthCare System, Inc. He is also an Associate Professor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School and has a joint appointment at Harvard School of Public Health in the Department of Health Policy and Management. Dr. Bates received his BS degree in Chemistry from Stanford University, his MD from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and his MSc from Harvard School of Public Health (Department of Health Policy and Management). He completed residency training in internal medicine at the Oregon Health Sciences University and a postdoctoral research fellowship in medicine at the Harvard Medical School. Dr. Bates' primary informatics interest has been the use of computerized decision support to improve safety and thereby reduce the costs of care. A particular focus has been on improving the systems by which drugs are given, to reduce the frequency of medication errors and adverse drug events. One study he led demonstrated that implementation of computerized physician order entry reduced the rate of serious medication errors by 55 percent. Other research interests include affecting physicians' decision making, particularly using computerized interventions; quality of care and cost-effectiveness in medical practice; and outcomes assessment. Dr. Bates has been the recipient of numerous awards, including a National Research Service Award; the Henry Christian Award for Excellence in Research; the Culpeper Award; the Young Investigator of the Year from the Society of General Internal Medicine, Northeast Region; Clinical Investigator of the Year, Center for Healthcare Information Management; the Partners in Excellence Award Quality Treatment and Service and Leadership and Innovation; and the Cheers Award for Outstanding Contribution to Medication Error Prevention from the Institute for Safe Medication Practices.
