World Parkinson Congress 2 At The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth), protein chemists are working to develop a therapeutic vaccine.

Named after the English doctor who described the Support Group Schedule condition almost 200 years ago, its symptoms often include tremors or shaking, slow Ask the Advocate 6 movements, stiffness in arms and legs, drooling, slurred speech and unsteadiness. Contributions & Tributes 7 “We’re creating a vaccine to target a protein that accumulates in the brains of people with Parkinson’s disease,” said Rowen Chang, Ph.D., who is the professor leading the research project at the UT Health Brown Foundation Institute of Molecular Medicine for the Prevention of Human Disease (IMM). “If we can slow the protein buildup, I believe we will MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT! also slow the deterioration of nerve cells tied to body movement.” The protein is alpha synuclein.

While there is no cure, the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease can Coming to The Woodlands November 2010 be treated effectively. Parkinson’s disease is the second most common of the progressive neurological diseases, affecting 1 percent of the population over the age of 60.

So, why not develop a [email protected]. therapeutic vaccine for Parkinson’s disease? Continued page 2 Page 2 HAPS Happenings Parkinson’s Vaccine continued from page 1 When a person gets vaccinated, he or she is injected with a tiny amount of an agent linked to a disease, said Chang, who is collaborating on the project with UTHealth researcher and assistant professor Chuantao Jiang, M.D., Ph.D. As soon as the immune system recognizes this agent, it begins to produce antibodies to attack it. The agents that trigger this process are called immunogens. Building on pre-clinical vaccine research by others demonstrating that reducing alpha synuclein buildup also reduces nerve damage, Chang and Jiang have developed an approach that they believe will be more effective in reducing alpha synuclein levels and therefore provide a more effective form of Parkinson’s disease therapy. Their work is supported by a grant from The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, founded by Emmy Award-winning actor Michael J. Fox, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1991. Chang and Jiang, who work in the UT Health Center for Protein Chemistry, have developed a vaccine and are in the process of testing its safety and effectiveness in a mouse model that expresses the human alpha synuclein protein. The first part of their study involved a comparison of three different immunogens. “We have found a highly promising immunogen that may prevent the alpha synuclein aggregation,” Jiang said. The next step is gauging the effects of the immunogen in a mouse model. If the immunogen works in mice, clinical trials could be in the offing, Chang said. Other Parkinson’s disease research underway at UTHealth includes a clinical study designed to aid in the early diagnosis of the disease, which scientists believe starts long before the onset of impaired motor skills. Mya Schiess, M.D., professor and Adriana Blood Chair in Neurology at the UTHealth Medical School, and colleagues are trying to build a profile of measures that could be used to predict Parkinson’s disease development. The scientists are searching for biological substances and physiological phenomena (biomarkers) tied to the disease, which could be used in combination with other measures, such as a reduction in the ability to smell, to diagnose the disease. The study includes people with Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Behavior Disorder, who are at increased risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. For information on the study, call 713.500.7073. “I hope a cure for Parkinson’s will be forthcoming in my lifetime,” said Nina Brown, who describes her battle with Parkinson’s disease in a video titled “Hope.” “If not, it is my hope that it will be there for future generations.” Joe Brown added, “The answers won’t come immediately. But when they do, they will change mankind.” This article was reprinted in its entirety with permission from Rob Cahill, author, and The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) SEPTEMBER 28—OCTOBER 1, 2010 GLASGOW, SCOTLAND UK The countdown has begun—the 2nd World Parkinson Congress (WPC) is only weeks away. As one of 157 organizational partners from 45 countries, HAPS is excited to share this experience with thousands of others around the world. HAPS Executive Director Anne Thobae and Director of Social Services and Program Development Kathleen Crist will be attending this year’s conference and bringing back lots of information and ideas that relate to all areas of Parkinson’s to share! As part of this year’s event, WPC hosted a video competition to help raise awareness about Parkinson’s. The purpose of the competition was to put a face on the disease and to have a little fun at the same time. Nearly 50 people—including those with PD, caregivers, friends and researchers—from 15 countries submitted videos. The videos portray how they are staying strong in the face of Parkinson, why they won't let PD stand in their way or how they are researching a cure, they and show what others are doing to make a difference for people living with Parkinson's. You can go online to view these submissions and the winning videos at www.worldpdcongress.org.

Interview begins with a discussion of various scrapbooks compiled by the interviewee and forms the basis for some of EJ's questions] EJ: To start off can you give me an overview of how you started to get into theatre? EB: Well, I wanted to go into the theatre from about the age of three, when i was taken backstage into my father's dressing room and was enthralled by the whole business. EJ: Did you believe then that you'd go into theatre? EB: Oh yes, I never thought I'd do anything else. EJ: When did you actively start to do something about that? EB: Well, one was in church plays and that whetted your appetite. Oh, a lot at school. It was a very drama-conscious school. EJ: Which school was that? EB: Campden School for Girls, we were always doing plays for the Building Fund [Laughs.] Which suited me. I played Hamlet, and Henry V, and Richard of Bordeaux, and Michael McCohen at LAMDA , when he interviewed me, said "Hmm. We'll have to give you a course in femininity!". EJ: What year was it, when you applied to LAMDA? EB: That was in 1955. EJ: What was the process for applying for LAMDA? EB: You had to do an audition. EJ: Did you choose the piece yourself? EB: I can't remember, whether it was sent.

    Water/Ways Film List This film resource list was assembled to help you research and develop programming around the themes of the WATER/WAYS exhibition. Work with your local library, a movie theater, campus/community film clubs to host films and film discussions in conjunction with the exhibition. This list is not meant to be exhaustive or even all-encompassing – it will simply get you started. A quick search of the library card catalogue or internet will reveal numerous titles and lists compiled by experts, special interest groups and film buffs. Host series specific to your region or introduce new themes to your community. All titles are available on DVD unless otherwise specified. See children’s book list for some of the favorite animated short films. Many popular films have blogs, on-line talks, discussion ideas and classroom curriculum associated with the titles. Host sites should check with their state humanities council for recent Council- funded or produced documentaries on regional issues. 20,000 Leagues under the Sea. 1954. Adventure, Drama, Family. Not Rated. 127 minutes. Based on the 1870 classic science fiction novel by Jules Verne, this is the story of the fictional Captain Nemo (James Mason) and his submarine, Nautilus, and an epic undersea exploration. The oceans during the late 1860’s are no longer safe; many ships have been lost. Sailors have returned to port with stories of a vicious narwhal (a giant whale with a long horn) which sinks their ships. A naturalist, Professor Pierre Aronnax (Paul Lukas), his assistant, Conseil (Peter Lorre), and a professional whaler, Ned Land (Kirk Douglas), join an US expedition which attempts to unravel the mystery.
