Meet the new jhu.edu: Revamped Web site debuts

ohns Hopkins sports a new virtual front door. The university this weekend went live with its new home page, the first stage of a complete Web site overhaul. Many key site pages have been updated, with more to follow during the next several weeks. The new www.jhu.edu features enhanced navigation and search capabilities and an easy-to-use structure to allow visitors to quickly find what they’re looking for. The design incorporates an innovative drop-down navigation sheet that gives visitors a sense of the scope—and organization—of the university at a glance. It also provides a prominent space on the home page for the university’s schools, divisions and centers. Previously, visitors to the site were

A prominent feature on the home page will be up to 12 rotating stories that represent aspects of the JHU experience. New stories will appear on a regular schedule throughout the year. Because of the complexity of JHU’s Web presence, the site will be tweaked in the coming weeks as work to re-skin and restructure all the pages continues. At launch, 85 percent of the site had been converted to the new design. The site was created by the university’s Office of Marketing and Creative Services, with visual design assistance from an outside firm, Interactive Technologies. —Greg Rienzi

sychologist John Gartner, an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, will discuss his latest book, In Search of Bill Clinton, at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 17, at Barnes & Noble Johns Hopkins. Gartner, a therapist with expertise in treating individuals with hypomanic temperaments, saw in Clinton the energy, creativity and charisma that leads a hypomanic individual to success as well as the problems with impulse control and judgment, which often result in disastrous decision making. To follow his instincts and find the real Bill Clinton, Gartner traveled to Clinton’s native Arkansas and around the world to talk with those who intimately knew Clinton and his family. The book that resulted from his journeys was released Sept. 1.

Animal TB ‘tracker’ expected to speed drug, vaccine studies B Y K AT E R I N A P E S H E VA

ohns Hopkins researchers have developed a novel way to monitor in real time the behavior of the TB bacterium in mouse lungs, noninvasively pinpointing the exact location of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The new monitoring system is expected to speed up what is currently a slow and cumbersome process to test the safety and efficacy of various TB drug regimens and vaccines in animals. Plans are already under way for developing a similar system to monitor TB disease in humans. A report on the system appears in the July 16 issue of the online journal PLoS One. Ê º7 À `Ü `i]Ê Ì iÀiÊ >ÀiÊ Ã iÊ °ÓÊ Ê new infections with TB each year, and new drug combinations are needed fast to treat increasingly resistant strains of the bacterium,” said senior investigator Sanjay Jain, an infectious disease specialist at Johns

Hopkins Children’s Center and director of the Center for Infection and Inflammation Imaging Research in the Division of Infectious Diseases at Johns Hopkins. “Because virtually all drugs are tested in animals first, the TB tracker will play a critical role in such preclinical studies,” he said. “This new way to locate and study the disease and its behavior in animals should speed studies of TB’s response to experimental vaccines, to new drugs and old ones and should accelerate our assessment of whether a treatment is working or not.” Treatment of TB in humans and animals takes much longer than that of other bacterial infections, so compliance with lengthy and complicated regimens can often be problematic. Also, some strains are already resistant to all drugs currently available, so finding clues to how the bacterium responds to drug treatment is essential. In mice, the tracker works by infecting them with a “designer” strain of TB developed by the Johns Hopkins team to absorb radio-tracing chemicals. The chemicals light

up the germ and any infected tissues in the lung, permitting an image captured by CT, PET and SPECT scanners. Because the new system tracks disease progression over time within the same group of live animals, fewer animals are needed than in conventional animal testing protocols. The tracker will be useful for studying TB in larger animals, including rabbits, guinea pigs and nonhuman primates, whose TB

dogged review of the medical literature has produced what is believed to be the nation’s first comprehensive estimate of the extent of dozens of endocrine disorders in the United States. Unsurprisingly, say the Johns Hopkins researchers who gathered the data, obesity and related conditions including metabolic syndrome and diabetes were the most common disorders and had the highest estimated rate of new cases per year—what experts call “prevalenceâ€? and “incidence,â€? respectively. However, the review also shed light on the significant impact that several other conditions have at the population level, such as osteoporosis. Surprisingly, the researchers say, their review showed that this bone-thinning condition appears to affect men and women nearly equally, with about 7 percent prevalence for both sexes. Health professionals have long assumed that osteoporosis occurs primarily in women after menopause, as a consequence of estrogen hormone loss. “Endocrinologists confidently talk about how common or uncommon certain hormone-related conditions are, but we were lacking the hard numbers. Now we have compiled real data based on U.S.-based clinical studies,â€? said Sherita Hill Golden, associate professor in the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Golden said that many endocrine disorders appear to be on the rise in the United States and around the world but that scientists have never amassed hard numbers in a unified source of prevalence or risk as they have for such medical conditions as cancer and heart disease. “Without such information, it’s hard to get public health decision makers to focus on all endocrine disorders, develop preventive strategies and allocate the right level of funding for research and treatment,â€? Golden said. To address the lack of information, Golden and her colleagues searched medical article databases for prevalence and incidence data for 54 endocrine disorders with both clinical and public health significance, identifying 2,268 studies. They concentrated on the most recent (since £™™nŽÊÇäĂŠ>Ă€ĂŒÂˆVÂ?iĂƒĂŠĂŒÂ…>ĂŒĂŠÂ…>`ĂŠĂŒÂ…iĂŠÂ“ÂœĂƒĂŒĂŠĂ€Âˆ}ÂœĂ€ÂœĂ•ĂƒĂŠ data on the general population, as opposed to studies involving small groups of patients from specialty clinics that see higher numbers of endocrine disorders. Reporting in the June Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, Golden and her colleagues found, as expected, that obesity-related diseases such as diabetes were the most common endocrine disorders in the United States, with 25 percent to 28 percent of the population being clinically obese and £äĂŠ ÂŤiĂ€ViÂ˜ĂŒĂŠ Â…>Ă›ÂˆÂ˜}ĂŠ ĂŒĂžÂŤi‡ÓÊ `ˆ>LiĂŒiĂƒ°ĂŠ /Â…iĂŠ review suggests that more than a third of the population has metabolic syndrome, a collection of obesity-related conditions that includes blood fat disorders, insulin resistance and the presence of inflammatory proteins that increase the risk for heart disease and stroke. The review also found that type-1 diabetes and tumors of the pituitary gland are among the least common endocrine disorders, affecting less than 1 percent of the population. Golden noted that there is a general lack of multiethnic, multiracial studies, research needed to determine variable risk in specific populations. The study was funded by a grant from the Endocrine Society. Other researchers who participated in this study are Karen A. Robinson, Ian Saldanha, Blaire Anton and Paul W. Ladenson, all of Johns Hopkins. —Christen Brownlee

JHU researchers make stem cells from developing sperm

T

he promise of stem cell therapy may lie in uncovering how adult cells revert to a primordial, stem cell state, whose fate is yet to be determined. Now, cell scientists at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine have identified key molecular players responsible for this reversion in fruit fly sperm cells. Reporting online Aug. 6 in Cell Stem Cell, researchers show that two proteins are responsible for redirecting cells on the way to becoming sperm back to stem cells. “We knew from our previous work that cells destined to be sperm could revert back to being stem cells, but we didn’t know how,� said Erika Matunis, an associate professor of cell biology. “Since dedifferentiation is an interesting phenomenon probably occurring

in a lot of different stem cell populations, we wanted to know more about the process.� Like all stem cells, each of the nine stem cells in the fly testis divides to form two daughter cells; one stays a stem cell, and the other differentiates into an adult cell, in this case, a sperm cell. To figure out what might cause sperm cells to revert or dedifferentiate, Matunis’ research team genetically altered the flies so that both cells became sperm, reducing the stem cell population in the testis to nothing. About a week later, the team examined these fly testes and found that the stem cells had been repopulated. To figure out how this was happening, the researchers first suspected two proteins—Jak and STAT—known to act together to help H O P K I N S

Matunis said. Next, she said, she would like to figure out how Jak and STAT control dedifferentiation. “We don’t know if a cell is just reversing all of the steps to go back to being a stem cell or if it is doing something totally new and different, but we’re eager to find out,â€? she said.

In addition to Matunis, authors on the paper are X. Rebecca Sheng, also of Johns Hopkins; and Crista Brawley, formerly of Johns Hopkins and now at the University of Chicago. —Audrey Huang

Perhaps the president might have some duplicates he would be willing to give up. Remsen: “I suppose that in the files the autographs of nearly all the leading chemists of the day could be found, but I do not know who is going to find them. I am not a collector and have not the instincts of a collector, I regret to say. So also in the matter of portraits. I have practically nothing except a few photographs and a few engravings that could be obtained elsewhere without any effort whatever.� Newell wrote with some enthusiasm about his encounters with famous chemists while traveling abroad.

To that Remsen replied: “I am a poor hand at cultivating acquaintance among chemists. If I meet them in a natural way, I rejoice—perhaps. If I do not, I do not worry. If I go to Europe I never look up chemists. They sometimes look me up, and sometimes I wish they wouldn’t. This, however, is all irrelevant, and certainly not helpful to you.â€?

T

his weekend, friends and colleagues old and new dubbed Ronald J. Daniels a man of passion, a man of wisdom, a man of ideas, a man of compassion, a man of ideals and a man of boundless energy who brings results. Then, once depleted of superlatives, they all wished him well as he begins the challenge and adventure of a lifetime. On Sunday, Sept.13, Johns Hopkins officially welcomed Daniels to its family as he was installed as the university’s 14th president. The formal ceremony, held in Shriver Hall on the Homewood campus, capped off a busy inauguration weekend jampacked with events that allowed the university and Baltimore to be reintroduced to the man who took office on March 2. With the assistance of three former presidents, Daniels received from Pam Flaherty, chair of the board of trustees, the presiden-

tial insignia—a sterling silver ceremonial necklace engraved with the portraits and names of the presidents of the university and signifying the authority vested in the president by the board. Daniels’ wife, Joanne Rosen, and three of their four children i`Ê ÊÜ Ì ÊÌ iÊ i>À ÞÊÇääÊ Û Ìi`Ê}ÕiÃÌÃÊ who came to witness a profound moment in the school’s history. Guests included U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin, Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon and Maryland Sen. Nathaniel McFadden, as well as 12 sitting university presidents and a host of other officials from peer institutions. After receiving the insignia, Daniels shook hands with and embraced Flaherty and former presidents William R. Brody, William C. Richardson and Steven Muller. He then launched into an inauguration address that broadcast his commitment to “one coherent Johns Hopkins University,” the betterment of Baltimore and the nurturing of an environment that supports and celebrates individual achievement. It was the first time that Daniels spoke publicly about his plans for the 133-year-old institution.

Before the investiture, the audience was offered good wishes, insight into Daniels’ character and some amusing personal anecdotes from former colleagues who were invited to present remarks. Amy Gutmann, president of the University of Pennsylvania, spoke of an energetic academic leader who did Penn proud as its provost and chief academic officer. Gutmann applauded Johns Hopkins’ choice of a president and also its role in the founding of the modern research and teaching university, the prototype for America’s most powerful engine for creating knowledge and advancing society. She said that Johns Hopkins is getting a leader with a gift for innovation.

Continued from page 7 another. With Ronald J. Daniels as your president, The Johns Hopkins University will reach ever greater heights of greatness to our mutual delight and the betterment of humanity.” Longtime colleague Michael J. Trebilcock, chair in Law and Economics at the University of Toronto, said that Johns Hopkins is getting a tireless soul whose imagination knows no bounds—or personal boundaries. Trebilcock, in a refined and deadpan fashion, joked about the countless times Daniels would phone, text or visit his office to bounce off him ideas and the “six major initiatives that had occurred to him the previous weekend.” “I was consulted to the brink of exhaustion,” he said, a line that drew a roar of laughter.

President Daniels and Jane Guyer

Trebilcock recalled a specific Sunday afternoon on his farm north of Toronto, where, while watching an NFL game in front of a roaring fire, Daniels called three or four times. Trebilcock joked how he had to resort to an incredible pretext, delivered by his wife, to hint to Daniels that he wasn’t available at the moment. His parting words of advice were to get ready for a 24-7 presidency and permanent gale-force winds. “And begin preparing a more credible pretext than mine for brief respites from the eye of the hurricane,” he said. In his speech, Daniels gave a glimpse of what lies ahead in the forecast. Daniels said that he takes the helm of a university with a magnificent past whose best days are yet to come. We can do better, he said, and we will. Johns Hopkins has made great strides in

strengthening its undergraduate and graduate experience, he said, and must continue to do so. Specifically, he wants Johns Hopkins to join the pantheon of great universities whose undergraduate programs are need-blind, not need-aware. He also wants to double and redouble the university’s commitment to financial aid. Students, he said, must be given every opportunity to reach their full promise while at Johns Hopkins, a goal that means providing an even fuller and richer academic and extracurricular experience. For Baltimore, Daniels said, the university needs to play an even greater role in meeting the city’s pressing needs. “Our ideas, our energies, our passion and optimism can contribute so much to the community of which we are part,” he said. “How we galvanize our intellectual and moral strengths

for the betterment of our community, and for the betterment of ourselves, stands as yet another compelling challenge that we must address.” He also believes, he said, in a university that is greater than its constituent parts. “We must knit together a university identity, a shared vision of Johns Hopkins, that both draws upon and enriches the identity of each of our schools, the health system and the Applied Physics Laboratory.” The convocation and installation were preceded by several events meant to recognize the official start of Daniels’ tenure. On a rainy Friday, Sept. 11, morning, Daniels met with faculty and staff of the Homewood schools at a coffee and pastries reception held under a tent on the Wyman Quadrangle.

A few hours later, at the same location, he met with hundreds of Homewood students who gathered for an ice cream social with the president. He chatted with many of the gathered students and then sampled a cherry Italian ice. In the late afternoon he traveled to the Bloomberg School of Public Health for a welcome event with its staff, faculty and students in Sommer Hall, followed by a reception. Daniels gave a short speech that offered a glimpse into his Sunday speech, lauding the interdisciplinary work and collaborative nature of the school and trumpeting how it

helps fulfill his vision for one Johns Hopkins. On Saturday morning, Daniels joined Â“ÂœĂ€iĂŠ ĂŒÂ…>Â˜ĂŠ ĂŽääĂŠ ĂƒĂŒĂ•`iÂ˜ĂŒĂƒ]ĂŠ v>VĂ•Â?ĂŒĂž]ĂŠ ĂƒĂŒ>vvĂŠ >˜`ĂŠ their families for the RD2.5K Presidential Fun Run, a noncompetitive jog through the Homewood campus.

management and treatment of hepatitis C recently published by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, a national professional society. Sulkowski noted that comparative-effectiveness studies such as this one, despite their high cost and lengthy timelines, form the “fundamental backboneâ€? for figuring out which one works best with newer treatments in the pipeline. Proposed next-stage therapies—primarily two hepatitis proteaseinhibitors, boceprevir and teleprevir—are still in early testing but can now be judged in comparison with what physicians know works best. Sulkowski said that triplecombination drug therapies for hepatitis C could prove the current therapies more effective when used as a cocktail, similar to the antiviral regimens used to combat HIV. In the latest study, recently infected people from across the United States were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups, receiving either standarddose peginterferon alfa-2b or peginterferon alfa-2a, each with ribavirin, or low-dose peginterferon alfa-2b plus ribavirin. A majority of study participants were men in ĂŒÂ…iÂˆĂ€ĂŠ{äĂƒ°ĂŠ Â?Â?ĂŠĂœiĂ€iĂŠĂŒĂ€i>ĂŒi`ĂŠvÂœĂ€ĂŠÂ˜i>Ă€Â?ÞÊ>ĂŠĂži>ÀÊ and then monitored for another half-year. None had pre-existing conditions, such as HIV disease, another hepatitis infection, liver failure or liver cancer, or severe or active depression. Researchers say that the next phase of their research will profile people who do better on each different drug regimen to see if there are standout factors that predispose some to success on one drug over another. They also plan further studies on drug-induced anemia to determine the effectiveness of synthetic erythropoietin, and whether or not EPO is more effective in some people than in others.

is an undergraduate-run lecture series that brings to campus renowned speakers with a variety of perspectives on issues of national importance. This year’s co-chairs, all seniors, are Danielle Fair, an economics major from Doylestown, Pa.; Michelle Harran, a biomedical engineering major from Neptune City, N.J.; and Daniel Ingram, a political science major from Scotch Plains, N.J. The chairs receive some funding from Student Council and raise the balance from university departments, corporations, foundations and other sources, including, this year, the city’s Free Fall Baltimore program. The students are also responsible for everything else, a daunting array of tasks that includes booking auditoriums; arranging for hotels, dinners and receptions for the guests; securing the sound system; and publicizing the series. Carson, the first speaker, majored in psychology at Yale, graduated from the University of Michigan School of Medicine and completed both his internship in general surgery and residency in neurological surgery at Johns Hopkins.

Homewood, JHMI campuses report first cases of H1N1 flu

T

he first likely cases of H1N1 flu at Johns Hopkins were reported last week on the Homewood and JHMI campuses, but so far, the numbers are small: One student at Homewood and two from the School of Medicine have tested positive for influenza A. A positive test for influenza A at a time of year when flu does not normally circulate in the community seems likely to indicate that H1N1 has arrived, according to university officials. As of press time, Peabody, the School of Education, SAIS and the Montgomery County Campus had not identified any instances of the illness. The so-called “rapidâ€? test being used to diagnose sick students indicates only whether or not a patient has Type A influenza. But the test picks up only about ÇäĂŠ ÂŤiĂ€ViÂ˜ĂŒĂŠ ÂœvĂŠ V>ĂƒiĂƒĂŠ >˜`]ĂŠ ĂœÂ…iĂŒÂ…iÀÊ ÂŤÂœĂƒÂˆĂŒÂˆĂ›iĂŠ or negative, does not tell with certainty whether or not the patient has H1N1. The specific test for H1N1 takes far longer to yield results, cannot be done on campus and is no longer being done by public health officials except in a small number of cases for very particular reasons. The lack of definitive test results makes very little difference at this time, the officials said, as the treatment for H1N1 flu and seasonal flu in most instances is exactly the same: plenty of rest, plenty of fluids and over-the-counter medications as needed to reduce fever and address other symptoms. The university is asking ill students to remain at their residences until they have

hildren on the high-fat ketogenic diet to control epileptic seizures can prevent the excruciatingly painful kidney stones that the diet can sometimes cause if they take a daily supplement of potassium citrate the day they start the diet, according to research from Johns Hopkins Children’s Center. A report on the work is published in the August issue of Pediatrics. “We can confidently say this is a safe and powerful way to prevent kidney stones, and it should become part of standard therapy in all ketogenic dieters, not just those who already show elevated urine calcium levels,� said senior investigator Eric Kossoff, a pediatric neurologist. “If you wait, it might be too late.� The ketogenic diet, believed to work by initiating biochemical changes that eliminate seizure-triggering short circuits in the brain’s signaling system, is given to many children whose seizures do not respond to medications. But the diet, which consists of high-fat foods with very few carbohydrates, causes a buildup of calcium in the urine and the formation of kidney stones in about 6 percent of those on it.

The Johns Hopkins Children’s Center adopted the preventive treatment with potassium citrate two years ago, and doctors now say they believe that this one major side effect of the diet is a thing of the past, allowing more children to remain on the diet for longer. Potassium citrate taken twice daily, either as powder sprinkled on food or dissolved in water, is believed to inhibit stone formation.

Although rarely serious, kidney stones can cause significant pain, along with kidney and urinary tract infections, and may require surgery. The research was funded in part by the NIH and the Carson Harris Foundation. Coinvestigators are Melanie McNally, Paula Pyzik, James Rubenstein and Rana Hamdy.
