A vaping cessation text message program for adolescent e-cigarette users

JAMA Network

About The Study: A tailored, interactive text message intervention increased self-reported vaping cessation rates among adolescents recruited via social media channels.

Quote from corresponding author Amanda L. Graham, PhD:

“Health care providers, teachers, and parents have been asking how to help teens quit vaping. This study is a critical breakthrough that demonstrates the power of a behavioral intervention for vaping cessation. Text messages serve as powerful reminders of an initial commitment to quit and can deliver proven behavior change support right to a young person’s phone.

“We also did not see evidence that teens who quit vaping transitioned to smoking. The intervention was effective in reducing dual use (smoking and vaping) and keeping teens in this study from starting to smoke.”

Some e-cigarette chemicals mimic nicotine, possibly bypassing regulation

Products also use flavors and sweeteners like those preferred by people who are younger or using e-cigarettes for the first time, raising concerns about unknown health risks

Duke University Medical Center

DURHAM, N.C. – In what appears to be an effort to bypass public health regulations covering vaping products, some tobacco companies have begun replacing nicotine in e-cigarettes with related chemicals that have similar properties but unknown health effects, Duke Health researchers report.

In a research letter appearing Aug. 7 in JAMA, study authors at Duke and Yale University also found that the quantity of these chemicals, known as nicotine analogs, are not accurately disclosed on the packaging.

“Vaping products containing nicotine are subject to federal laws that prohibit sales to people  under the age of 21,” said study co-author Sairam V. Jabba, D.V.M., Ph.D., a senior research scientist at Duke University School of Medicine.

“Nicotine analogs are currently not subject to the FDA process and have not been studied for their health effects,” Jabba said. "Our analysis of some of these analog-containing vaping products sold in the U.S. found significant and concerning inaccuracies in the ingredients these products claim to contain and what they actually contain. Further, it’s possible manufacturers are attempting to avoid FDA tobacco regulation.”

One chemical, known as 6-methyl nicotine, has been shown in rodent experiments to be far more potent than nicotine in targeting the brain’s nicotine receptors and more toxic than nicotine. Another, called nicotinamide, is marketed as targeting the same brain receptors as nicotine, despite evidence it does not bind to these receptors.

The nicotine analogs were included in flavored e-cigarettes, which prior research has indicated are preferred by youths and those who vape for the first time.

Jabba and colleagues, including co-senior author Sven Eric Jordt, Ph.D., analyzed an e-cigarette product sold under the brand name Spree Bar, which comes in at least nine flavors and is listed as containing 5 percent 6-methyl nicotine. Study results showed the actual amount of the chemical was about 88% less than labeled. The e-cigarettes also included an artificial sweetener that is up to 13,000 times sweeter than table sugar, and an artificial coolant that mimics menthol’s effects.

A second brand of e-cigarettes -- marketed as Nixotine, Nixodine, Nixamide and Nic-Safe – contained a nicotine analog called nicotinamide, also at levels lower than the labels indicated, and combined with undisclosed amounts of 6-methyl nicotine. This brand did not include sweeteners or coolants.

“These products appear to be designed to circumvent the laws and regulations in place to protect people -- especially children -- from the harmful effects of smoking and tobacco use,” Jordt said. “We do not know what these chemicals do when they are heated and inhaled. These are questions that should be answered before we allow products on the market.”

In addition to Jordt and Jabba, study authors include Hanno C. Erythropel, Peter Silinski, Paul T. Anastas, Suchitra Krishnan-Sarin and Julie B. Zimmerman.

Neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage across the life course and premature mortality

JAMA Network

About The Study: 

Low neighborhood socioeconomic status was associated with premature mortality in this study. The risk of premature mortality was greatest among individuals experiencing persistently low neighborhood socioeconomic status from young to middle adulthood. Place-based interventions that target neighborhood social determinants of health should be designed from a life course perspective that accounts for early-life socioeconomic inequality.

Cocaine discovery could pave way for treatment for substance abuse

University of Copenhagen - The Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences

You have probably heard of dopamine. The substance also known as the “feel-good hormone”.

Drugs such as cocaine cause a surge of dopamine in the brain. Normally, a protein in the brain called the dopamine transporter (DAT) helps regulate dopamine levels and prevent the brain from thinking that every experience is pleasurable.

However, when affected by cocaine, the brain is unable to regulate dopamine levels. Previously, researchers did not know how cocaine affects the different transporters in the brain, but a new study from the University of Copenhagen has changed that.

“We have learned how cocaine binds to the dopamine transporter, which is a protein responsible for regulating dopamine levels in the brain. What we did was describe the structure of the dopamine transporter, which gave us molecular-level insight into how it is inhibited by cocaine,” says PhD Student Jeppe Cederholm Nielsen, who is one of the researchers responsible for the new study.

Our dream is to find a medical treatment for cocaine abuse.

Professor Claus Løland

When the brain is unable to regulate dopamine levels, everything we do seems great, the researchers explain. Cocaine does not make the brain release more dopamine, but it prevents it from regulating and removing dopamine.

“When we experience something as pleasurable, it is because the dopamine that is released in the brain stimulates the reward centre. The role of the dopamine transporter is to stop this process by removing dopamine,” says Professor Claus Løland from the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Copenhagen and adds:

“When cocaine blocks the dopamine transporter, dopamine will continue to stimulate the reward centre – even though the experience itself is not particularly pleasurable. In other words, we become incapable of distinguishing between what is truly pleasurable and what is not, and then all types of input given by our senses will seem great. You could say that cocaine tricks the brain. It is a form of chemical brainwashing.”

World’s most powerful microscope provides answers

To understand what cocaine does to the brain, the researchers studied the dopamine transporter, which is a very small protein – too small to be studied in a standard microscope.

“We have used the most powerful microscope in the world to study the structure of the atoms of the dopamine transporter. We have learned how cocaine binds and thus blocks this function, and this is important if we want to be able to stop cocaine from affecting the brain,” says Jeppe Cederholm Nielsen and adds:

“These proteins are so tiny that they are invisible under a microscope – even this extremely powerful microscope. But we used a couple of tricks to work around this and make them visible.”

Want to develop treatment for substance abuse

There is currently no for cocaine abuse, but in the long run the researchers want to that can help people get rid of their addictions.

“Our dream is to find a medical treatment for cocaine abuse. While fewer and fewer people are addicted to drugs in general, an increasing number of people become addicted to cocaine. It is one of the most addictive substances out there, and it is becoming more and more affordable,” says Claus Løland.

The researchers hope their new knowledge of the function of the dopamine transporter will help them understand addiction in general.

“Perhaps we will be able to treat addiction to a number of things, not just cocaine. For instance, addiction to gambling or other substances, which is also caused by a release of dopamine into the brain,” says Claus Løland and adds:

“If we were able to design a drug for addiction in general, we would be able to help a lot of people.”

Plants offer fruit to insects to disperse dust-like seeds

Kobe University

The shrub-like plant Rhynchotechum discolor produces fruit that are difficult to see from above but suitable for ground-dwelling insects. However, seed dispersal by insects was previously thought to be limited to cases where other dispersers were not available or where fungi-eating plants already had dust-like seeds. The Kobe University botanist SUETSUGU Kenji says, “Our findings challenge the notion that insect-mediated seed dispersal is a special case and suggest that it may be more widespread and ecologically important than previously understood.”

Fruit exist to invite animals to disperse the swallowed seeds. A Kobe University research team found that plants targeting insects rather than birds or mammals for this service are more common than previously thought. These plants produce dust-like seeds and fruit suitable for the minute, ground-dwelling animals.

Whether it’s strawberries, apples or grapes, the reason why plants make tasty fruit is to invite and reward animals to also eat and then disperse their seeds, which are smooth and sturdy for just that purpose. Given the size of most seeds, it’s natural that the animals associated with this are mostly birds and mammals. Incidentally, this is also why fruit are often red and dangle from branches. This allows the intended dispersers to easily see and reach the fruit. Insects, on the other hand, while they are often associated with plant pollination, are not seen as important for dispersing ingested plant seeds, mostly because the animals’ minute size wouldn’t allow for the safe passage of the seed through the animal. However, there are plants that produce dust-like seeds embedded in whitish and somewhat translucent fruit that are difficult to see from above and that fall to the ground as soon as they are ripe. And while this makes insects the prime candidates, it has not been known who the actual dispersers are.

The Kobe University botanist SUETSUGU Kenji has an extensive background in studying interactions between plants and arthropods (animals like insects, crabs, and spiders), with a particular focus on dust-seeded plants in Japan. He and his team travelled to Amami-Oshima Island in Japan where a shrub-like plant called Rhynchotechum discolor produces such translucent fruit with dust seeds. The researchers took automated night photographs of the fruit on the ground to find out who eats them and additionally captured insects in the plants’ vicinity (using a mixture of Kirin beer and the soft drink Calpis, both produced in Kobe University’s home region of Kansai). They then put the captured insects into containers to search their excrements for plant seeds and, with a separate feeding experiment, to find out how many of the seeds they eat can germinate.

Their findings, published in the journal Plants, People, Planet, confirmed that insects, specifically camel crickets, were the primary consumers of the fruit. Moreover, the captured insects’ excrement contained numerous seeds, about 80% of which were fully viable. “This result provides the first evidence of insects acting as seed dispersers for a light-harvesting, green plant in regions inhabited by land-dwelling mammals,” says Suetsugu. Previously, seed dispersal by insects was thought to occur only in special situations. There is the case of the weta, gigantic, flightless crickets home to New Zealand, that have taken on ecological functions usually associated with ground-dwelling mammals that don’t exist there. Otherwise, the ability of insects to disperse dust-sized seeds was understood to be largely restricted to heterotrophic plants. These non-green plants don’t harvest light but eat underground fungi and get what nutrients and energy they need from there, so their seeds can be tiny. Suetsugu explains, “Our findings challenge the notion that insect-mediated seed dispersal is a special case and suggest that it may be more widespread and ecologically important than previously understood.”

This discovery excites Suetsugu for another reason: “It also contributes to the understanding of the evolution of dust seeds. Because they are minute and contain minimal energy reserves, their evolution has often been associated with heterotrophy. However, our research on Rhynchotechum discolor suggests that dust seeds can evolve from other selective pressures: Given that smaller seeds are more likely to survive digestive processes, a small seed size could have evolved as an adaptation to convert seed predators into seed dispersers.”

In their paper, the research team notes that the shrub they investigated is likely not unique: “The fruit and seed morphology and coloration of other members of Rhynchotechum parallel those seen in R. discolor, suggesting that seed dispersal by camel crickets is widespread within the genus, which comprises 16 species. In a broader ecological context, similar seed dispersal systems might be found among plants with dust seeds, which are present in at least 13 families.” Suetsugu adds: “We have laid the groundwork for future studies to investigate similar interactions in other regions and with other plant species. This research enhances our knowledge of how plants adapt to their environments and the roles that different organisms play in their life cycles.”

This research was funded by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (grant JPMJPR21D6). It was conducted in collaboration with a researcher from the University of Tokyo.

Kobe University is a national university with roots dating back to the Kobe Commercial School founded in 1902. It is now one of Japan’s leading comprehensive research universities with nearly 16,000 students and nearly 1,700 faculty in 10 faculties and schools and 15 graduate schools. Combining the social and natural sciences to cultivate leaders with an interdisciplinary perspective, Kobe University creates knowledge and fosters innovation to address society’s challenges.

The analysis of the excrements of camel crickets captured in the vicinity of the shrub showed that they contained numerous intact-looking seeds.

Feeding experiments on captured camel crickets showed that around 80 percent of the seeds ingested and later excreted by camel crickets were fully viable and could germinate.

The study provides significant insights into cucumber centromeres by identifying key centromeric satellite sequences and retrotransposons. Researchers found notable differences in centromeric DNA between wild and cultivated cucumbers, highlighting the impact of domestication. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and sequencing, the study mapped CsCENH3-binding domains and discovered active genes with low transcription in these regions. This comprehensive characterization of cucumber centromeres advances our understanding of genome evolution and provides valuable information for improving genetic maps and breeding programs, potentially enhancing cucumber cultivation and genetic research.

Centromeres are crucial for chromosome segregation during cell division and consist of repetitive DNA sequences. Their structure and evolution vary widely among species, making them a significant research focus. In cucumbers, understanding these variations can provide valuable insights into genome organization and evolution. Due to these complexities and the lack of comprehensive studies in this area, a detailed investigation of cucumber centromeres is necessary to enhance our knowledge of their function and evolutionary dynamics, ultimately contributing to advancements in plant genetics and breeding strategies.

Researchers from the State Key Laboratory of Crop Genetics and Germplasm Enhancement at Nanjing Agricultural University published a study (DOI: 10.1093/hr/uhae127) on May 7, 2024, in Horticulture Research. The study investigates the centromeres of cucumber (Cucumis sativus) using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) techniques, uncovering centromeric satellite sequences and the prevalence of Ty1/Copia retrotransposons.

The study identified key components of cucumber centromeres, including the centromeric satellite sequence CentCs and Ty1/Copia long terminal repeat retrotransposons. Using ChIP sequencing, researchers mapped CsCENH3-binding domains and uncovered significant differences in centromeric DNA between wild and cultivated cucumbers. They found that the domestication process amplified centromeric DNA, as evidenced by higher CentCs content in cultivated varieties. Additionally, active genes with low transcription levels were identified within CsCENH3 nucleosome regions, marking the first comprehensive characterization of cucumber centromeres. These findings provide new insights into the evolutionary mechanisms of centromeres in the Cucumis genus and enhance our understanding of genome structure. The research also has practical implications, offering valuable information for improving genetic maps and breeding programs, which could lead to the development of superior cucumber varieties with desirable traits.

Dr. Qunfeng Lou, the corresponding author, stated, "This study marks a significant advancement in our understanding of cucumber centromeres. The identification of centromeric sequences and their variations between wild and cultivated cucumbers provides valuable insights into genome evolution and the domestication process. These findings have the potential to inform future research and breeding strategies."

The findings from this study have several important implications. The detailed characterization of cucumber centromeres enhances our understanding of genome structure and evolution, which is critical for genetic mapping and breeding programs. Additionally, the identification of centromeric sequences can aid in the development of new genetic tools and resources, facilitating the improvement of cucumber varieties with desirable traits. This research also contributes to the broader field of plant genomics, providing a framework for studying centromeres in other species.

Medical issues experienced by women and children after returning from Hamas captivity

Wiley

Among the 250 individuals who were kidnapped during the Hamas terror attack on Israeli towns in October 2023, 19 children and 7 women were released and admitted to Schneider Children's Medical Center of Israel after approximately 50 days in captivity, during a cease-fire deal. A new study published in Acta Paediatrica reports on the physical and psychological state of these returnees upon their return.

The most common clinical findings included significant weight loss, psychological trauma, complications of poor hygiene (such as head lice), and complications of recent shrapnel injuries. Tests revealed that returnees also often had gastrointestinal pathogens and various infectious diseases.

Do dieticians have weight biases towards themselves and others?

Wiley

In a survey-based study, UK dietitians exhibited significant weight stigma, both towards themselves and towards others.

The study in the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics involved an online survey completed in 2022 by 402 registered dietitians aged 20–70 years old. Most respondents reported personally experiencing weight stigma prior to (51%) and after becoming (59.7%) registered dieticians, and nearly a quarter (21.1%) felt that their weight influenced their own ability to perform as a dietitian.

Weight stigma was experienced across the weight spectrum. Participants reported explicit (or conscious) weight bias attitudes, moderate beliefs that obesity is controllable, and implicit (or unconscious) anti-fat bias.

“The study highlights the need to address weight stigma and its implications within the dietetic profession,” the authors wrote.

Can nanomaterials enhance plant tolerance to high soil salt levels?

Wiley

Soil salt concentrations above the optimal threshold for plant growth can threaten global food security by compromising agricultural productivity and crop quality. An analysis published in Physiologia Plantarum examined the potential of nanomaterials—which have emerged over the past decade as a promising tool to mitigate such “salinity stress”—to address this challenge.

Nanomaterials, which are tiny natural or synthetic materials, can modulate a plant’s response to salinity stress through various mechanisms, for example by affecting the expression of genes related to salt tolerance or by enhancing physiological processes such as antioxidant activities.

When investigators assessed 495 experiments from 70 publications related to how different nanomaterials interact with plants under salinity stress, they found that nanomaterials enhance plant performance and mitigate salinity stress when applied at lower dosages. At higher doses, however, nanomaterials are toxic to plants and may even worsen salinity stress.

Also, plant responses to nanomaterials vary across plant species, plant families, and nanomaterial types.

“Our analysis revealed that plants respond more positively to nanomaterials under salt stress compared with non-stressed conditions, indicating the ameliorative role of nanomaterials,” said corresponding author Damiano R. Kwaslema, MSc, of Sokoine University of Agriculture, in Tanzania. “These findings pave the way for considering nanomaterials as a future option for managing salinity stress.”
