NHLI Scientists Collaborate to EffectHuman Parathyroid Hormone Synthesis

FIRST TIME ON NATIONAL SCENE

Needed Rehabilitation Programs for Cancer PatientsRecommended by Experts at Recent Dulles Meeting

"Very little or no interest was demonstrated in the past in rehabil-itating cancer patients. There seemed to be a fatalist attitude towardsthem," said Dr. John E. Healey, Jr., of M.D. Anderson Hospital and

Scientists at the National Heartand the Ciba-Geigy Pharmaceuticalical structure and synthesized theparathyroid hormone.

The results of these collaborativeefforts have revealed significantdifferences between the chemicalstructure of human parathyroidhormone and that derived from ani-mal sources.

They also make possible, for thefirst time, synthesis of sufficientquantities of the hormone's activecomponent for experimental studiesof its role in calcium metabolismand metabolic bone disease, for thedevelopment o f diagnostic assayprocedures for its measurement inhuman blood, and for clinical in-vestigation of its potential use asa therapeutic agent in human dis-ease.

Details of the chemical structure,including the precise sequence ofthe amino acids in the active por-tion of the human parathyroid hor-mone, were reported in the Decem-ber issue of Proceedings of the Na-tional Academy of Sciences by Drs.H. Bryan Brewer, Jr., Thomas

For the first time on a nationalscale for cancer patients, rehabili-tation experts met to plan andrecommend needed research andcancer control programs using re-habilitation techniques.Grows in Importance

The increased survival rate inrecent years of patients with cer-tain cancers is one of the reasonswhy rehabilitation has assumed agreater importance today.

Rehabilitation research has be-come a primary objective of theNational Cancer Plan to bring re-sults of research developments tothe patient as quickly as possible.

Patient rehabilitation has beenhampered over the years because ofsocietal apathy and rejection. Thevictim lives under the social stig-ma of cancer as the "dreaded dis-ease."

and Lung Institute, the Mayo Clinic,Company have determined the chem-biologically active portion of human

Once a person develops cancer,he may be subject to various formsof discrimination especially in ob-taining life and health insuranceand employment. He also may suf-fer an intense psychological strain.

According to a panel member, thepatient has the greatest need foreducation. If he cannot be con-vinced of his being able to return to—or near to—his potential at thetime the disease struck, rehabilita-tion will not be successful.

However, he added, cancer pa-tients are the most enthusiasticand motivated people when theyrealize they can overcome theirhandicaps.

Dr. Guy F. Robbins of MemorialSloan-Kettering Cancer Center,New York City, said, "Within sixmonths to a year there will be in-put . . . which will show that theseprograms are giving a positive ad-dition to the quality of survival ofpatients."

Dr. Luria to Head CancerResearch Center at MIT

The National Cancer Institutehas awarded two grants to t h eMassachusetts Institute o f Tech-nology for a cancer research cen-ter to be directed by Dr. SalvadorE. Luria, 1969 Nobel Prize win-ner.

This facility will be the first ma-jor cancer research center in theU.S. that is not based in a med-ical institution.

Dr. Luria, who won his Laureatefor research in molecular biology,said the new facility will stressbasic research in cancer biologyand would train future cancer in-vestigators.

The NCI grants will be used forrenovating existing facilities andfor operating the center. MIT plansto contribute toward the construc-tion costs of the center.

Joseph M. Albrecht Dies;Former NCI Section Head

Joseph M. Albrecht, former headof the National Cancer Institute'sPathological Technology Section,died Nov. 21 in Kailua Kona, Ha-waii, where he had lived since hisretirement in 19<69.

Mr. Albrecht served as a con-sultant to the NCI staff on thetechnique of preparing tissues formicroscopic diagnosis.

He developed new procedures forpreparing laboratory specimens,handling tissue-culture material indiffusion chambers, and cutting un-fixed, undecalcified frozen bone.

Before joining NCI, he was alab technician at Washington Uni-versity School of Medicine's De-partment of Anatomy in St. Louis.

Mr. Albrecht had attended theUniversity of Minnesota and Wash-ington University.

He is survived by his wife, Jane.

Because she proposed a new type ofform to simplify the ordering of officeand lab supplies, Helen C. Jenerick,Laboratory of Biochemical Pharma-cology, NIAMDD, received a $50 cashemployee suggestion award. Her sug-gestion resulted in the NIH form1861—the Supply Order Worksheet—which received the approval ofB/l/D executive officers, and willsoon be carried in stock.

NIAMDD ReorganizesExtramural ProgramsInto 4 Subdivisions

A major reorganization at theNational Institute of Arthritis,Metabolism, a n d Digestive Dis-eases involves four new units.

Concurrent with the name changewhich gave more impetus to thedigestive disease area, NIAMDDreorganized the extramural re-search, research training, and de-velopment activities.

Eleven extramural categoricaldisease program areas are groupedinto four clusters. These are: Arth-ritis, Bone, and Skin Diseases; Dia-betes, Endocrine, and MetabolicDiseases; Digestive Diseases andNutrition, and Kidney, Urologic,and Blood Diseases.

Each of these four sub-divisionswill be headed by an associate di-rector responsible for a balancedprogram from fundamental re-search through demonstrations andstudy of improved therapies byclinical trials.

The programs will use bothgrant and contract research ap-proaches to achieve their goals.

Overall extramural programsupervision will be the responsibil-ity of Dr. Ronald W. Lamont-Hav-ers, appointed deputy director ofthe Institute last August.

In order to coordinate such ac-tivities as grants management andprocessing, the position of asso-ciate director for Extramural Pro-gram Activities has also been es-tablished.

The reorganization will take sev-eral months to complete but twoprograms have been put into oper-ation: Digestive Diseases and Nu-trition, with Dr. Lionel M. Bern-stein as associate director, and Ex-tramural Activities, with Dr. E. P.Offutt as associate director.

Intramural research will remainunder Dr. J. E. Rail, director ofIntramural Research.

Mail Service Section Aims at ReducingThe mail service at NIH handled 26,863,320 pieces of mail last

year—a 41 percent increase over the load distributed 4 years ago.In 1968, there were 72 employees in the mail room who routed

mail for 29 buildings and an NIH population of 11,000. Today, with11 less employees, the service handles mail for 33 buildings and12,700 workers.

Along with the increase in NIH's volume of mail over the years,postal rates for all mail classes have gone up 30 percent. Fiscal 1973postage costs (based on 1972 figures) for Bureaus, Institutes, andDivisions were estimated at over $1,145,000.

NIH—like all Government agencies—is not exempt from payingpostage. As a matter of fact, postage for each B/l/D is determinedby the number and type of indicia envelopes and labels obtainedfrom the self service stores.

All rates charged for letters up to and including large packagesare identical to those the public pays.

Of particular concern to the Mail Service Section is the reductionof mailing costs. Too many mistakes are occurring which drive mailcosts upward.

By following correct procedures for mailing correspondence,budget expenditures can be lowered in many instances.

On any given day, the mistakes illustrated on these two pages(except one) can be found in the mail room. Misaddressed or im-

pneumatic tubes, the address, along with the tube station number,is required.

Avoid using paper clips. They add weight, can damage mailhandling machinery, and tear envelopes.

Prepare mail as early in the day as possible. The Post Office picksup the mail at 12:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Later mail becomes partof the evening rush and takes longer to be dispatched.

Outgoing postal mail is delivered directly to the City Post Officeafter a pre-sort by the mail room. Government mail put with per-sonal correspondence in mail chutes may be delayed up to 3 days.

For prompt delivery, always use Zip Codes. Also, all envelopesshould carry a return address including a Zip Code.

For specific cases, fourth class book rate mail can offer savings.Certain requirements must be met to qualify for fourth class, butsavings over first class can be substantial.

First class letters are allowed to weigh one full ounce. The USPSreports that most weigh less than one half an ounce. When sending"underweight" letters, consider consolidating some of them in thesame envelope, if possible.

Every consideration should be given to specify only the most eco-nomical class of mail to be used. The Mail Service Section can helpwith all mailing problems. Call Ext. 65651.

Israeli Scientists StudyRole of Cells in Body'sDefense Against Cancer

A multi-disciplinary cancer re-search program will be establishedat the Weizmann Institute of Sci-ence in Rehovot, Israel, under aresearch contract awarded by theNational Cancer Institute.

Several topics will be investi-gated by Weizmann scientists, in-cluding the roles of various whiteblood cells in the body's defenseagainst cancer, and methods thatmay include leukemia cells to ma-ture normally.

Feldman Heads StudiesStudies of treating cancer by en-

hancing the body's disease-fighting,or immune system, will be carriedout under t h e direction of Dr.Michael Feldman, head of the De-partment of Cell Biology.

Two groups of lymphocytes, thewhile blood cells that defend thebody against disease, will be stud-ied.

One type of cell is produced bythe thymus, an organ of the im-mune system located in the neckregion; such cells are known as T(thymus-derived) cells.

Related cells produced in thebone marrow are known as B (bonemarrow-derived) cells. Both T andB cells will be studied.Growth Interrupted

A study of mechanisms controll-ing the growth of mouse leukemiacells will be directed by Dr. LeoSachs, head of the Department ofGenetics.

In leukemia, the growth of whiteblood cells is interrupted beforethey are fully mature.

As a result, the leukemic cellscannot perform the protective func-tion of normal, mature white bloodcells, and leukemic patients fre-quently develop infections thathealthy persons could easily over-come. Dr. Sachs will investigateways in which leukemic cells maybe induced to develop normally.

Dr. Michael Sela, head of theDepartment of Chemical Immunol-ogy, will study the role of certainantigens, chemical substances lo-cated on the surfaces of cells, asa means of detecting cancer.

CEA Linked to CancerOne such antigen, the carcino-

embryonic antigen (CEA), hasbeen linked to cancers of the colonand rectum in man. Another isalphafetoprotein, which has beendetected in patients and in animalswith cancer of the liver.

Dr. Sela and his co-workers willtry to improve the sensitivity ofpresent tests for these antigens,and thereby increase their useful-ness in early detection of gastro-intestinal and liver cancers.

Living Animal Cells Grown in CirculatoryNetwork Resemble Normal Body Tissue

NIH scientists have devised an artificial circulatory network thatallows them to grow living animal cells in the laboratory to a density thatresembles natural body tissue.

Drs. Richard A. Knazek and Pietro M. Gullino, National CancerInstitute; Dr. Peter 0. Kohler, Na-tional Institute of Child Health andHuman Development, and Dr. Rob-ert L. Dedrick, Division of Re-search Services, published a reportof their achievement in a recentissue of Science.

An application for a patent forthe device has been registered byNIH in the names of Drs. Knazek,Gullino, Dedrick, and Dr. WilliamR. Kidwell, NCI. Under Federalpatent policy, rights to the devicewill remain in the public domain.

With current methods, manytypes of human and animal cellscan be grown in the test tube, butthey stop growing at concentra-tions much lower than their normaldensity in body tissues.

Researchers believe this is duein part to a lack of the continuousnourishment and cleansing actionprovided by the capillaries or tinyblood vessels that permeate normaltissue.

Under test tube conditions, cellsfunction quite differently than theydo in normal tissue, where the cellsare in contact with each other andinfluence each other's activities.

The investigations have simu-lated the conditions of living tissueby growing cells inside a glassshell fitted with a bundle of tinytubes through which a nutrientfluid, comparable to blood, is con-tinuously pumped.

The cells grow over the surfaceof the tubes and in the spacesbetween them. Like blood vessels,the tubes are porous enough toallow oxygen and fresh nutrientsto pass through the walls to thecells and cellular waste products tobe removed.

Dr. Knazek and Dr. Gullino planto use the new technique in cancerresearch. For example, by alteringhormones and other ingredients inthe nutrient fluid, they will studythe conditions that promote or in-hibit the growth of various kindsof cancer tissue.

The artificial capillary networkis also an efficient way of collectingcell products. For instance, hor-mones produced by cells can beisolated from the fluid in whichthey are grown.

Drs. Knazek and Gullino believethat such artificial tissues mightserve as living factories for theproduction of human hormones,now very difficult to obtain butnecessary in the treatment of somediseases.

For example, using the system togrow tissue from cancer of theplacenta (the organ in the preg-nant uterus that establishes com-

This technique may also offer anew tool for the study of the ef-fect of one type of cell on another.This effect might be studied bygrowing each cell type in separatesystems but allowing the nutrientfluid to flow directly from one unitto the other.

NCI Launches ProgramOn Pancreatic Cancer;Makes Eight Awards

With the award of research con-tracts to eight institutions, the Na-tional Cancer Institute launched anew program aimed at preventingand controlling cancer of the pan-creas.

Now the fourth major cause ofcancer death in the U.S., cancer ofthe pancreas has been steadily in-creasing since the beginning of thecentury. It is expected to kill about19,000 Americans in 1972.

Etiology UnknownAlmost nothing is known about

causes or why it is becoming morecommon. It is difficult to diagnose,and the survival rate is very low.

As a first step in the new pro-gram, researchers will exploreways of producing pancreatic can-cer in laboratory animals in anattempt to find a valid model forthe human disease.

Contracts for the research havebeen awarded to the Boston Uni-versity Medical School, Case West-ern Reserve University School ofMedicine, Dartmouth M e d i c a lSchool, St. Louis University, Uni-versity of Chicago, and the Univer-sity of Kansas Medical Center.Other Studies Noted

In a parallel line of research,sdentists at the University ofTennessee and Wright State Uni-versity will attempt to grow nor-mal pancreati; cells of humans,rats, and guinea pigs in laboratorytest tubes.

If they are successful, they willthen add various cancer-causingchemical to the cells in an attemptto produce cancerous changes.

Studies are also being started toattempt to single out populationgroups which are particularly sus-ceptible to this form of cancer.

Future efforts will focus oncauses, diagnosis and treatment ofpancreatic cancer.
