The study showed that a 3p-siRNA specific for the anti-apoptotic factor bcl-2 may be a highly effective anti-cancer agent in several animal models. 3p-siRNAs that are designed toward other gene targets may also have applications in infectious disease and as vaccine adjuvants. “In our first collaborative paper with the Hartmann lab in 2005, also published in Nature Medicine, we defined certain structural features of siRNAs that were found to stimulate immune responses, ensuring we can reliably avoid these responses in designing our RNAi therapeutics,” said Rachel Meyers, Ph. , Senior Director of RNAi Lead Development at Alnylam. “In this new research, 3p-siRNAs were designed to intentionally promote a potent immune stimulatory mechanism in concert with gene silencing. We believe this approach could represent a potentially new and effective strategy for cancer therapy, as it has been shown that many cancers are better treated through a combination therapy approach.

LETTER: Dispose of unwanted medicine properly
West Salem Coulee News, WI
Runoff from rainwater can wash this waste out of the landfills, adversely affecting not only the fish, but also the quality of our drinking water. An EPA study of 139 streams across 30 states found that as many as one in eight were contaminated with chemicals derived from pharmaceutical waste. This study also discovered that between 4 percent and 59 percent of bacteria found in natural waterways were resistant to regular antibiotics. These alarming statistics raise the specter of potential “super bugs” in our water supply – harbingers of diseases incurable by ordinary medications. Furthermore, easy access to improperly disposed medications may encourage drug abusers to further their abuse and can even poison children and pets. These are only a few of the reasons why discarding unused medications in the toilet or trash can is highly discouraged by the La Crosse County Health Department. The La Crosse County Household Hazardous Materials Program, located at 6503 Hwy.
First rule of sport: play it safely
The Australian, Australia
More than 50 people have now been trained to administer first aid, so there’s always at least one person with proper accreditation at every game and practice. The club now has a dedicated first-aid room manned during all training days, first-aid bags are stocked with supplies, and coaches are aware of any potential medical issues or allergies, since parents now complete detailed information forms when they register their children at the start of the season. It’s that sort of pro-active approach that’s being recommended in new guidelines issued by Sports Medicine Australia to improve safety for children and young adults in sport. The guidelines aim to reduce preventable injury — and possibly just as importantly, parental angst. Every year about 1 million Australians injure themselves playing sport, with the rates of those requiring treatment highest in the 5 to 14 age bracket. Altogether sports-related injuries cost an estimated $1. 65 billion a year, and at least 50 per cent of them are preventable, says Sports Medicine Australia program manager Annabel Sides.

The California effort got a boost when Schwarzeneggersigned AB 1879 by Assemblyman Mike Feuer, D-Los Angeles. This bill calls on the state to adopta similar process by 2011 — the year after Schwarzenegger will leave office. Environmentalgroups have generally agreed the bill is a major stepforward. But some in the Legislature have criticized the governor’s commitment to the issue. Assemblywoman Sally Lieber, D-Mountain View, called the initiative “a nice website. ” She was also one of at least three Democratic legislatorsto get opposition letters from state environmentalagencies, in reference to bills they were carryingbanning certain chemicals.
