HEALTH TIP: How to Make Your Job More Enjoyable…
Hate your job? Daydream of ways to torture your boss Join
the masses.

If the thought of burning yourself with scalding coffee
sounds more appealing than heading to work another day, try
these tips, which have been proven by researchers at Texas
State University to increase job satisfaction:

- Sit by a window as often as possible.
- Add a green plant to your work area.

Yep, that’s it. And according to the TU study, out of 450 workers
who utilized those two tips, 85% reported themselves to be
“content” or “very happy” at work, as opposed to only 58% of
those who did not have a window or plant nearby.

Of course, if your workstation is far removed from a window,
you may be out of luck. Try taking a walk during your lunch
hour or escaping to a conference room with a view, if possible.

So do you have any tips for increasing your feelings of well-
being on the job? If so head on over to the blog and share them.

Old Drug Shows New Use Against Hepatitis C…

STANFORD, Calif. — U.S. researchers say they’ve developed
a novel approach to fighting the hepatitis C virus’s repro-
duction process using an obsolete antihistamine. The Stan-
ford University Medical Center scientists said the advance
involves two discoveries. “One is that a protein called NS4B
is instrumental in binding some of the genetic material, or
RNA, and allowing the hepatitis C virus to replicate,” the
researchers said. “The other is that the former anti-itching
drug clemizole hydrochloride could hinder that protein, res-
ulting in a tenfold decrease in virus replication with no
apparent harm to infected liver-like cells.” Since the
former antihistamine drug has previously been used by
people, it is automatically eligible for human testing.
“We’re excited about this and we’re actively moving forward
toward clinical trials,” said Dr. Jeffrey Glenn, an assoc-
iate professor of gastroenterology and hepatology and a
senior co-author of the paper with Professor Stephen Quake.
The lead authors are Dr. Shirit Einav and bioengineer Doron
Gerber. The research that also included doctoral student
Paul Bryson, postdoctoral student Ella Sklan, research
associate Menashe Elazar and Sebastian Maerkl, a former
member of Quake’s group, appears in the online edition of
the journal Nature Biotechnology.

New Technique Created To ID Liver Disease…

HONG KONG,  — A Chinese-led study has found non-invasive
transient elastography can measure liver stiffness,
accurately diagnosing patients with late-stage liver
disease. The researchers, led by Dr. Henry Chan of the
Prince of Wales Hospital in Hong Kong, said liver biopsy has
long been the gold standard for assessing liver disease.
However, it is limited by invasiveness, risk of complicat-
ions, patient discomfort and the availability of expertise.
On the other hand, the researchers said liver stiffness
measurement, or LSM, has been shown to be a reliable tool
to detect liver cirrhosis, and transient elastography is a
rapid, non-invasive and reproducible new technique being
employed to measure liver stiffness. “Research has shown
that LSM has the potential to become a non-invasive way to
diagnose severe liver disease,” Chan said. “We wanted to
take a closer look at its potential, evaluating its accuracy
in relation to traditional biopsy. Comparing the results of
transient elastography with biopsy reports enables us to
determine just how precise this technique can be.” The study
is reported in the journal Clinical Gastroenterology and
Hepatology.
 

Study May Lead To Cancer, Aging Therapies…

PHILADELPHIA,– U.S. scientists say they’ve deciphered the
structure of telomerase — an enzyme that plays a major role
in the development of nearly all human cancers. Researchers
at The Wistar Institute said their achievement opens the
door to the creation of new, broadly effective cancer drugs,
as well as anti-aging therapies. The new findings should
help researchers design effective telomerase inhibitors,
said Assistant Professor Emmanuel Skordalakes, who led the
study. “Telomerase is an ideal target for chemotherapy be-
cause it is active in almost all human tumors, but inactive
in most normal cells,” Skordalakes said. “That means a drug
that deactivates telomerase would likely work against all
cancers, with few side effects.” The study provides the
first full-length view of the telomerase molecule’s critical
protein component, revealing “surprising details, at the
atomic level, of the enzyme’s configuration and how it works
to replicate the ends of chromosomes — a process critical
to both tumor development and the aging process,” the sci-
entists said. The study is reported in the online edition
of the journal Nature.

New Tool Follows Drug Movement In The Body…

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.– U.S. scientists say they have devel-
oped an analytical tool that can detail the distribution of
a drug within the body and without any chemical pretreatment.
A team led by Purdue University Professor R. Graham Cooks
said knowing where a drug is circulated and where it accumu-
lates in the body is critical to evaluating its effective-
ness and potential for toxicity. “This is the first analysis
that works on an unadulterated sample to show where a drug
and its metabolites travel in the body,” said Cooks, co-
founder of Purdue’s Center for Analytical Instrumentation
Development. “The analysis method is very fast and can be
done on the spot, which could save pharmaceutical research-
ers valuable time and resources.” The Purdue scientists
said the tool is based on a mass spectrometry method inven-
ted in Cooks’ lab. And while most spectrometry methods requ-
ire expensive markers to illuminate the molecule of interest
and pretreatment of the sample with chemicals, the research-
ers said their method is the only mass spectrometry tech-
nique that can evaluate an untreated sample. A paper detail-
ing the research appeared in the Aug. 15 edition of the Pro-
ceedings of the National Academies of Science.
