The compendium is Armeniaâs oldest preserved veterinary medical work and offers an overall view of expert knowledge about horses during the late 13th century in the Near East. The Austrian Science Fund FWF supported this project and it was made possible thanks to an Austrian Armenologist, her excellent knowledge about the country and its language as well as her close cooperation with veterinarians in Vienna. This oldest known manual about Armenian horse medicine consists of 184 handwritten pages. It was written in the Armenian kingdom of Cilicia between 1295 and 1298. An Armenian monk proficient in languages and a Syrian horse veterinary were responsible for writing this work. Now, almost 750 years later, a similar interdisciplinary cooperation has led to the workâs translation into German. For this project, the linguist Dr. Jasmine Dum-Tragut, from the Institute for Linguistics at the University of Salzburg, worked closely with scientists from the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna. Herbs Heal Horses In addition to the actual translation, it was possible to prepare an extensive addendum that offers detailed insight into veterinary medicine in the Near East in those days. Furthermore, the work also includes comments on 13th-century veterinary medical knowledge from a contemporary perspective. For example, experts from the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna were particularly surprised that knowledge of the use of medicinal herbs in those days was much more advanced than it is today. The plants came from the Armenian Highlands and they were also used to treat human diseases.

Animal Cytology Bloom, Stephen Cellular responses to environmental stress (hyperthermia, drugs, pollutants) can determine ultimate cellular outcomes including apoptotic cell death. Several highly conserved multi-gene families play significant roles in stress-response regulation in vertebrates. We are investigating the roles of heat shock proteins, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), and Bcl-2 proteins in regulating the sensitivity of differentiated B-lymphocytes to heavy metal and pesticide-induced apoptosis. We are also investigating mechanisms involved in the bypass of B-cell stress resistance by exposure to multiple physical and chemical stresses resulting in potentiation of apoptosis. Noden, Drew

Extractions: Understanding basic gene function: Many genetic diseases involve abnormal regulation of gene expression, particularly cancer and developmental aspects. This laboratory studies basic functions of the transcriptional apparatus in a developmental model. This work has important applications for understanding developmental defects and in gene therapy which requires appropriate genetic elements to regulate transferred genes in the target cells and tissues. Narayan G. Avadhani, Ph.D., Professor of Biochemistry Nuclear and mitochondrial gene interaction: Research in this laboratory is focused on understanding the nature of biochemical and genetic signals which accurately coordinate the expression of the 16kbp mitochondrial genome and a number of tissue specific as well as ubiquitously expressed genes coding for various mitochondrial proteins in animal cells. The work addresses the evolutionary development of mitochondria and the role of hepatic mitochondrial P-450c27/25 in cholesterol storage diseases and degenerative bone diseases using gene knockout and transgenic approaches.

Extractions: Lung Carcinogenesis ... Developmental Therapeutics Cancer Center at the University of Tennessee Medical Center. There are currently three areas of major research emphasis: Top of Page Top of Page The transplacental carcinogenesis studies focus on the long-term effects of in utero exposure to carcinogens contained in tobacco products. These studies have shown that a single dose of a tobacco-specific carcinogen administered in the last trimester of pregnancy causes a high incidence of respiratory tract tumors in the offspring of hamsters at middle age. When the hamsters were additionally given ethanol in the drinking water during pregnancy, the offspring developed a high incidence of pancreatic ca ncer. These findings suggest that mothers who smoke and drink during pregnancy increase the risk of their children to develop cancer of the lungs and pancreas at the age of 40-50. In utero exposure to such carcinogenic stimuli may thus be an important f actor underlying the increasing cancer incidence observed in individuals of this age group.

Extractions: Click on photograph to view caption Veterinary medicine impacts almost every critical aspect of human life: the food we eat and the clothes we wear; our physical, emotional, and economic well-being; and the quality of our environment. Few people are aware of the enormous diversity of job opportunities that exist in veterinary medical sciences. In addition to the well-known private practice D.V.M., veterinary scientists serve in government, industry, and academia in a plethora of roles. Institutions of higher learning produce two primary products: the creation of new knowledge through research and graduates who put this knowledge to work in society to enhance personal development, the quality of life, and the operation and productivity of our businesses, government, and other institutions. The College of Veterinary Medicine produces not only well-trained veterinary clinicians and researchers, but also generates new knowledge through research in many areas of biomedical sciences. Dean Joseph W. Alexander firmly believes that teaching and research are inseparable. A complete scholar not only teaches a modern, up-to-date course through library research and preparation but also conducts and directs active laboratory or clinical research. Research compliments good teaching by stimulating the intellect and maintaining the inquisitive nature of the scholar. Research is an essential component of scholarship in the College of Veterinary Medicine. Research in the College is varied and diverse both in its nature and the systems studied. The College faculty itself is diverse: many hold a Ph.D. degree instead of or in addition to a D.V.M. degree. Similarly, students involved in College research programs may be in the professional D.V.M. program or M.S./Ph.D. graduate students. Research programs themselves range from molecular to clinical, and address problems as varied as animal health and human biomedical research.

These guidelines allow consideration of a wide range of the activities of all faculty. Because of the diversity of faculty interests and responsibilities, it is not possible to establish a precise series of steps that, when taken, will automatically lead to favorable decisions concerning promotion and tenure . Moreover, since a decision to promote includes a judgment of superior quality of performance, a set of rigid guidelines carries with it the risk of being misleading. Nonetheless, the examples of activities cited herein, though not all inclusive, are typical of those considered in the promotion decision and may provide guidance for a faculty member. All decisions on promotion and the awarding of academic tenure are predicated on institutional needs and resources. The areas of activity evaluated in these decisions are: (1)
