'The Advocate' Resident Advocate Newsletter, October 2008, Vol. 15

This tool of communication between the 2,500 members of the Resident Advocate Committee (RAC) Program and the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman is used to keep all volunteers informed of their roles and responsibilities as they carry out the duties of a resident advocate. The Advocate is provided to Resident Advocates on a quarterly basis.

Evaluación de la contaminación y calidad microbiológica del agua de mar en las Bahías de Ferrol y Samanco. 12 - 15 febrero 1996

Da a conocer los efectos de la contaminación a partir de la calidad microbiológica, concentraciones de DBO5 y el estado del bentos en las bahías de Ferrol y Samanco en el mes de febrero del año 1996. Asimismo, verifica la recuperación del ecosistema marino, con la aplicación de los programas de mitigación establecidos por el sector pesquero para la protección del medio ambiente en esta zona afectada principalmente por los efluentes industriales. Las observaciones se realizaron de 12 al 15 de febrero de 1996, en época de anchoveta y sardina.

c-Myc acts downstream of IL-15 in the regulation of memory CD8 T-cell homeostasis.

A subset of CD8 T cells in normal mice, expressing high levels of activation markers such as CD44, shares many properties with antigen-specific memory CD8 T cells. Homeostasis of CD44(high) CD8 T cells depends upon cytokines such as interleukin-15 (IL-15); however, the downstream signaling pathways regulating IL-15-dependent homeostatic proliferation are poorly defined. Surprisingly, we show here that haploinsufficiency of the protooncogene c-myc leads to a highly selective decrease in CD44(high) CD8 T cells in mice. Although steady-state proliferation and survival of CD44(high) CD8 T cells appeared not to be dependent on c-Myc, homeostatic proliferation of c-myc(+/-) CD44(high) CD8 T cells in lymphopenic hosts was strongly reduced, and the residual homeostatic proliferation of these cells appeared to occur independently of IL-15. Moreover, c-myc(+/-) CD44(high) CD8 T cells responded very poorly to purified IL-15 in vitro. Backcrossing of c-myc(+/-) mice to IL-15(-/-) mice revealed that the number of CD44(high) CD8 T cells decreased in an additive fashion in mice heterozygous for c-myc and IL-15. Finally homeostatic proliferation of antigen-specific memory CD44(high) CD8 T cells was also impaired in c-myc(+/-) mice. Collectively, our data identify c-Myc as a novel downstream component of the IL-15-dependent pathway controlling homeostatic proliferation of memory CD44(high) CD8 T cells.
