(Genetics & Public Policy Center, Johns Hopkins University) Four in five Americans support the idea of a nationwide study to investigate the interactions of genes, environment and lifestyle, and three in five say they would be willing to take part in such a study, according to a survey conducted by the Genetics and Public Policy Center at Johns Hopkins University.

| The desert dwellers in Cholistan desert use surface water collected in natural depressions or dugout ponds `Tobas` since the groundwater is brackish and not fit for human consumption especially for drinking purpose. The present study was conducted in cholistan desert to evaluate the quality of rainwater harvested in low lying areas or dugout ponds the only source of drinking water for humans as well as their livestock. Water samples were collected from 10 tobas of lesser Cholistan since most of the tobas were dried up due to the drought conditions. These samples were analyzed to quantify different parameters i.e. pH, HT, TDS, Alkalinity, Ca, Mg, Na, K, Fe, Zn, Cd, Cr, Cu, Sr, Ni, Pb, Co, Cl, PO4, SO4, CO3--, HCO3- and NO3 relating the water quality. The results showed that most of the parameters were found within the WHO recommended levels determining the suitability of this water for drinking purpose. However, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) concentration was found high indicating undesirable presence of organic matter. Higher concentration of Sr was found demanding future detailed study of drinking water in Cholistan. | |

| • | The hyperbolic effect of density and strength of inter beta-cell coupling on islet bursting: a theoretical investigation |
| Background: Insulin, the principal regulating hormone of blood glucose, is released through the bursting of the pancreatic islets. Increasing evidence indicates the importance of islet morphostructure in its function, and the need of a quantitative investigation. Recently we have studied this problem from the perspective of islet bursting of insulin, utilizing a new 3D hexagonal closest packing (HCP) model of islet structure that we have developed. Quantitative non-linear dependence of islet function on its structure was found. In this study, we further investigate two key structural measures: the number of neighboring cells that each ?-cell is coupled to, nc, and the coupling strength, gc. Results: ?-cell clusters of different sizes with number of ?-cells n? ranging from 1?343, nc from 0?12, and gc from 0?1000 pS, were simulated. Three functional measures of islet bursting characteristics ? fraction of bursting ?-cells fb, synchronization index ?, and bursting period Tb, were quantified. The results revealed a hyperbolic dependence on the combined effect of nc and gc. From this we propose to define a dimensionless cluster coupling index or CCI, as a composite measure for islet morphostructural integrity. We show that the robustness of islet oscillatory bursting depends on CCI, with all three functional measures fb, ? and Tb increasing monotonically with CCI when it is small, and plateau around CCI = 1. Conclusion: CCI is a good islet function predictor. It has the potential of linking islet structure and function, and providing insight to identify therapeutic targets for the preservation and restoration of islet ?-cell mass and function. | |
