Supplemental food programs in Missouri

"MP 200, 9/70 3M"Includes: Supplemental Food Programs in Missouri, Misc. Publ. 200, ADDENDUM."In recent years supplemental food programs have been extended to all Missouri. Nearly all school children have access to school lunch, and either commodity distribution or the food stamp plan has been made available to low-income persons in all counties and the city of St. Louis. The Extension Service of the University of Missouri has sought to provide information of various kinds, ranging from explaining the mechanics of programs to members of county courts, to using specially trained non-professional staff to teach nutrition education to low-income families. Meanwhile, the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University of Missouri has conducted a series of studies of how the programs function. This bulletin summarizes information of general public interest as obtained from studies completed prior to 1970, together with general operating data obtained from officials of agencies of the Missouri Government in Jefferson City and St. Louis."--Page [ii].Harold F.

An analysis of income possibilities from farm adjustments in southern Iowa; Including production of Grade B milk

This study was initiated because of the interest shown by people of Adams County in the opportunities for increasing income on farms in the locality-especially with respect to the role of dairying in the county. It is one of several studies of adjustment opportunities open to farm families being made in southern Iowa. The purpose of the study is to determine the income consequences of certain actions which might be taken by individual farm families on soil types similar to those found in Adams County-not to pass judgment on whether these actions are beneficial or harmful to other persons or the community structure. This study has been made for Adams County where Sharpsburg and Shelby soils make up most of the cropland. Owner-operation of a 240-acre farm with 152 cultivated acres is used as a basis for the analysis. Analysis is made of returns from different plans, when farms are operated under either average or superior management. Special attention is given to the role of and returns from a grade B dairy enterprise under the two levels of management. For comparative purposes, situations were studied which excluded grade B dairy under average management and which excluded both butterfat cows and grade B dairy under superior management

Androgen Regulated Genes in Human Prostate Xenografts in Mice: Relation to BPH and Prostate Cancer

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate carcinoma (CaP) are linked to aging and the presence of androgens, suggesting that androgen regulated genes play a major role in these common diseases. Androgen regulation of prostate growth and development depends on the presence of intact epithelial-stromal interactions. Further, the prostatic stroma is implicated in BPH. This suggests that epithelial cell lines are inadequate to identify androgen regulated genes that could contribute to BPH and CaP and which could serve as potential clinical biomarkers. In this study, we used a human prostate xenograft model to define a profile of genes regulated in vivo by androgens, with an emphasis on identifying candidate biomarkers. Benign transition zone (TZ) human prostate tissue from radical prostatectomies was grafted to the sub-renal capsule site of intact or castrated male immunodeficient mice, followed by the removal or addition of androgens, respectively. Microarray analysis of RNA from these tissues was used to identify genes that were; 1) highly expressed in prostate, 2) had significant expression changes in response to androgens, and, 3) encode extracellular proteins. A total of 95 genes meeting these criteria were selected for analysis and validation of expression in patient prostate tissues using quantitative real-time PCR. Expression levels of these genes were measured in pooled RNAs from human prostate tissues with varying severity of BPH pathologic changes and CaP of varying Gleason score. A number of androgen regulated genes were identified. Additionally, a subset of these genes were over-expressed in RNA from clinical BPH tissues, and the levels of many were found to correlate with disease status. Our results demonstrate the feasibility, and some of the problems, of using a mouse xenograft model to characterize the androgen regulated expression profiles of intact human prostate tissues
