The suspected pump is a chain like protein that snakes in and out of cell walls. While it serves some unknown function in normal cells, drug-resis tant cells have the protein in unusu ally high amounts. Further research may someday al low doctors to hinder the pumping operation in cancer cells, or even ac tivate it in healthy cells to help them withstand the poisonous onslaught of chemotherapy, scientists said in interviews. Resistance of cancer cells to mul tiple drugs is a key problem of che motherapy. Some cancers, like those of the colon and lung, resist drugs from the outset, while others acquire resis tance in the course of chemothe rapy. If resistance to standard drugs could be overcome, Dr. John Stevens of the American Cancer Society, said, “We could give our chemothe rapeutic agents a second lease on life in a much more incisive fashion.” The new research is providing good evidence that the pump mech anism is one way cancer cells resist chemotherapy, Stevens said. The most recently published study appears in Thursday’s issue of the British journal Nature. Victor Ling and colleagues at the Ontario Cancer Institute, Princess Margaret Hospital and the Univer sity of Toronto describe striking structural similarities between the suspected pump protein and a known pump protein from bacteria. Peter Jurahka, a co-author of the study, said in a telephone interview, unusually high levels of the sus pected pump, called P-glycoprotein, had previously been demonstrated in some cancers that resist several drugs. Other studies have focused on a gene that directs cells to produce the P-glycoprotein pump. David Housman, a biology profes sor at the Center lor Cancer Re search at the Massachusetts Institute of Technologym said, in one set of experiments, drug-sensitive cells from hamsters became resistant when cloned pump genes from a were inserted and madeJ high amounts of P-glycoprJ mouse ordet tein, |.l Housman reported the woiiM die Oct. 23 Nature with MIT(« league's | ames ( .t oop and VinonBeffl Neriah, and with Philippe Gros McCill University in Montreal.

Study: Thyroid pills ease symptoms of PMS sufferers Boys’ spending spree ends after five days me Vit pl;i (in bat let BOSTON (AP) — Thyroid hor mone pills can relieve premenstrual syndrome for many women whose symptoms appear to be linked with sluggish thyroid glands, suggests a new, preliminary report. The study found often-mild thy roid deficiencies in 94 percent of the victims of premenstrual syndrome who were tested. Those who took thyroid pills “reported complete re lief from the symptoms of PMS.” However, several experts said they doubt that underactive thyroids — what’s known as hypothyroidism — contribute to premenstrual syn drome for most victims of the com mon disorder. The apparent link between the thyroid gland and premenstrual syn drome was discovered by Dr. Nora D. Brayshaw of the Biopsychiatry Center in Watchung, N.J. The re sults of her preliminary experiments were published as a letter in Thurs day’s New England Journal of Medi cine. In an interview, she said she has found more than 300 women “where the correlation is absolutely profound” between premenstrual syndrome and underactive thyroids, and said she has used thyroid pills routinely to treat them. “I am so sure I know it works that when it doesn’t, I’ve been able to find a problem,” such as drinking or drugs, that interferes with the thy roid supplements, Brayshaw said. Brayshaw said low thyroid func tion may not actually cause PMS. In stead, the two problems could he the result of some broader underlying hormonal disorder. But she said she believes virtually everyone with pre menstrual syndrome has thyroid de ficiencies. The reaction of several other ex perts to Brayshaw’s work ranged from cautious support to skepticism. At the National Institute of Men tal Health, Dr. David Rubinow said he found it amazing that nearly all the PMS victims showed thyroid ab normalities and that all of them could have responded to the treat ment. “I think that she is probably onto something, that there is probably a group of people for whom this muv be a relevant biological clue,” he said. But he added that a “great deal more rigorously obtained and well- controlled data is needed.” COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Two California teen-agers took off on a cross-country hinge of fancy meals and new clothes after finding a suit case stuffed with about $8,()()(> in drug money, but their spending spree attracted police, who arrested them five days later. Raymond Salter, 13, and Marc Hairrell, 14, were picked up Sunday at Port Columbus International Air port with nearly $5,000 and a bag containing less than a gram of co caine. Each was being held Wednesday on a charge of drug abuse, but Co lumbus Police Officer Floyd Wise said he would probably seek dis missal of the charges so the boys could return home to Petaluma, Calif. “They were buying fine dinners, riding in taxis and limousines,” Wise said. “They just got mixed up in something that they shouldn’t have." Wise said the boys told police they left California Nov. 26 after Hairrell found a suitcase that had l>een tossed out a window during a police search at a Petaluma home. It contained an estimated $H,()(>() in cash and a bag containing less than a gram of < ocaine. “They didn’t even realize it was cocaine," Wise said. “All they saw was the $100 bills, the 50s and the 20s.” .

If they only knew what I go through to stay thin.” When the extreme fear ol being overweight becomes obsessive, it leads to unusual and harmful eating practices. Anorexia and Bulimia are eating dis orders which are becoming more prevalent. Anorexia, the excessive pursuit of thinness, can result in mal nutrition, low blood pressure, loss ot hair, irrational thinking and even death. Bulimia, compulsive eating binges tallowed by the purging ot load, can lead to severe dental problems, kidney failure or cardiac arrest. Warning Signals may vary, but often include: □ The secret tear ot becoming fat □ Feeling out ot control around food □ Binging on huge quantities ot food and then purging, by vomiting, laxatives, or diuretics □ Feeling irritable, depressed and self-conscious □ Extreme dieting and exercise Greenleaf’s ABLE Program (An orexia and Bulimia Learning Experience) can help you regain control ot your life. The 4-week program is being ottered December 29 - January 25. to coincide with school and work vacations. Living with your secret could be killing you. Call us now for a free confidential assessment.
