It isa time when we are finalizing acceptances for our nextfreshman class and for our post-graduate residency pro­grams. It is also a time when we are making plans forgraduation and are assisting our senior students in makingplans for their own residencies.All of these transitions bring to mind the importance ofstrong relationships between our school and its alumni. Itis an opportune time, therefore, to take a closer look atour alumni relationships and to discover new ways tofoster them.Continued participation in the school by its alumni is acritical ingredient to its success. This participation takesmany forms, only one of which is financial support.Alumni are also important in terms of referring talentedstudents to the school and assisting in the placement ofour graduates. Our alumni are also highly influential inshaping the public image of the Medical Center, sincethey are, in effect, living testimony to the school's skillsin medical education.Strong ties with the Medical Center also have benefitsfor its alumni. The Medical Center offers its alumni op­portunities for continuing medical education and for con­sultation and treatment of referred patients. By remainingin contact with the Medical Center, alumni are also ableto observe and influence its future course.Given that alumni relationships are beneficial not onlyto the Medical Center, but to alumni themselves, it isworthwhile to consider how these relationships can bestrengthened. Improved communications is one obvious2 prereqursrte to improved alumni relations. The introduc­tion of this column and other improvements in our alumnipublications are intended to help achieve this goal.We are also improving the facilities we have availableon campus for medical students and alumni. As an ad­junct to our Modernization Project, we will be building anew alumni center and making major improvements inour medical library. The improvement in our clinicalfacilities will also have benefits for alumni since it willmake the Medical Center a more attractive, efficient placeto refer patients requiring specialty consultation. TheMedical Center is also developing a Referral CoordinatorOffice to assist in managing the liaison between our fac­ulty and referring physicians.There are, no doubt, many other ways in which we canimprove our alumni relationships. I have described only afew of our plans here in the hope of conveying to you mypersonal commitment toward making improvements inthis area. I encourage you to communicate any sugges­tions you may have.[]Bulletin of the Medical Alumni AssociationThe University of ChicagoDivision of the Biological SciencesThe Pritzker School of MedicineVol. 34, No.3, Spring 1980Editors: Janice Schmidt, Christina WestWells, Scott NewtonContributing Editors: James S.

NewtonA gross anatomy course in which students dissect a shark pec­toral fin concurrently with the human upper limb? In which theyattend lectures on the biomechanics of vertebrate hard tissues, therelationship of ontogeny to phylogeny, and the fluid dynamics ofthe circulatory system? In which they are encouraged to discusstheir reactions to cadavers and the presence of death? And in whichthey display unfeigned enthusiasm and absorbing interest and,mirabile dictu, retain a comprehensive understanding of humanstructure? Unlikely as it sounds, such an experiment is now inprogress under the auspices of the ASHUM program, and is prov­ing a success.The University's ASHUM (Arts and Sciences Basic to HumanBiology and Medicine) program, currently in its third year of full­time operation, represents a rich and expansive new approach tomedical education. Its aims as stated in the initial proposal for theprogram are "to develop students' understanding of and commit­ment to the well-being of man ... to provide a sound scientificbase for the understanding of man in health and illness as well ashumanistic and social studies essential for an adequate appreciationof the goals of medicine within the broader concern for the well­being of man. "Combining the last two years of undergraduate study and the firsttwo years of graduate study, the program's curriculum inte­grates the pre-clinical sciences with courses in the humanities andsocial sciences bearing significantly on medicine and the health pro­fessions. Upon completion of this four-year course of studies andthe award of a Master's degree in human biology, students mayelect to continue their medical education (completing the clinicalyears), to enroll in a doctoral program in one of the medical sci­ences, or to pursue a career in one of the various health-related dis­ciplines: public health and epidemiology, nutritional sciences,human genetics and genetic counselling, medical ethics, behavioralsciences, and public policy in the health field.Funded by an initial five-year grant from the CommonwealthFund, ASHUM has in its first years generated considerable en-4 thusiasm among faculty and students alike, gained acceptance andrecognition both within and outside of the University community,and while not unattended with problems, it has generally satisfiedexpectations.One of the signal features of the ASHUM program is its restruc­turing of the pre-clinical science courses. It has been necessary todesign many new courses in the social sciences and the humanitiesexpressly for the program, but at least as great a challenge has beento recast the traditional medical science curriculum in the light ofthe motivating philosophy of ASHUM. The planners of theASHUM curriculum have responded to this challenge by seeking toorganize and present course material on an intellectually thorough,scientifically rigorous, and pedagogically sound basis, and 'at .thesame time to draw out and make manifest its (not so readily ap­prehended but nonetheless profound) relevance to the human valuesOf all the pre-clinical sciences, anatomy is perhaps mostfundamental. It is the comprehensive introduction to thatobject to which students will devote their professional lives.It is also a first and intimate confrontation with mortalityand one's biological identity. It is for many, however, thedriest and least interesting aspect of the medical curriculum.with which medicine is informed. In this way, it was hoped thespecific issues and concepts in the medical sciences would begrasped in their broader biological and human context- and somore thoroughly understood.Of all the pre-clinical sciences, anatomy is perhaps the most fun­damental. It is the traditional point of departure in medical educa­tion, the comprehensive introduction to that object to which stu­dents will, directly or indirectly, devote their professional lives -the human body. It is also an initiation rite, a first and intimateconfrontation with mortality and one's biological identity. It is, formany, however, the driest and least interesting aspect of the medi-cal curriculum, the most unadornedly factual and the least imagina­tive - a grueling exercise in the commission to memory of count­less unconnected details, no sooner learned than forgotten. Thecourse Human Morphology is gross anatomy transmuted in theASHUM crucible and is exemplary of the program's distinctive ap­proach to the medical sciences. "ASHUM morph," as it is knownto initiates, plays a pivotal role in their medical education, and,now in its second year, is very much a success story.The primary objective of traditional anatomy courses is to pro­vide the student with an understanding of the spatial relationshipsof the structures of the body. This type of understanding, it isgenerally believed, is most appropriate to the nature of clinicalpractice: the demands of medical technique are best served by athorough appreciation of three-dimensional relations.The teaching method employed in most anatomy courses is thepresentation of structures by region and concomitant regional dis­section. The primary organizing principle is that of relative position- what is the course of the radial artery, what structures occupythe superior mediastinum? This is supplemented with attempts tomake correlations where possible with embryology, function,pathology, and the technical problems of medical intervention.In practice, due to limitations of time and the sheer complexityand amount of material, these correlations are made only spottilyand in no systematic fashion. Many regions are dissected for pur­poses of identification alone. As a consequence, students mustnegotiate an overwhelming mass of detail often with no solid com­prehension of morphological organizing principles. All too fre­quently, the forest is not seen for the trees.The course Human Morphology is gross anatomy trans­muted in the ASHUM crucible and is exemplary of theprogram's distinctive approach to the medical sciences. Ithas as its ultimate objective giving students an understand­ing of their biological nature as it is manifested in anatomy.The ASHUM Human Morphology sequence has as its ultimateobjective giving students an understanding of their biological natureas it is manifested in anatomy. The body as phenomenon, it is ar­gued, can only be understood in its legitimate place in the naturaleconomy - as that of an organism whose form has been deter­mined by adaptive responses to environmental demands over time.The aspect and disposition of anatomical structures assume meaningonly by one's bringing to bear on them, rigorously and consis­tently, the twin perspectives of function and history.This view of anatomy might sound needlessly esoteric and far­fetched (to speak charitably), but it is actually quite sound andpractical: students come to possess a powerful organizing toolwhich allows them to sort out an overpowering mass of informa­tion. They gain invaluable - one might say indispensable - in­sight into their nature and that of their future patients.In Human Morphology, the method of regional dissection is re­tained, but it is wedded to systematic studies of comparative ver­tebrate structures, development and histology. Function and historyare constantly invoked. As an example, the organization of theupper limb is studied as the result of successive historical adapta­tions to differing modes of locomotion. The patterns of muscle lo­cation, innervation and vascularization are understood by compari­son with living and fossil creatures which exemplify these loco­motor modes. The primary question students are trained to ask is: "Why is this structure formed as it is - owing to what functionalrequirements and what developmental and evolutionary con­straints?' ,Areas of particular potential clinical import are treated thor­oughly, but the clinical relevance is not made explicit. Rather thanto introduce specific clinical correlations at a stage in the student'scareer when they are apt to seem random and adventitious, thecourse seeks to provide a solid framework of morphological princi­ples upon which clinical concepts can be readily laid when needed.The body as phenomenon can only be understood in itslegitimate place in the natural economy-as that of an or­ganism whose form has been determined by adaptive re­sponses to environmental demands over time. The aspectand disposition of anatomical structures assume meaningonly by one's bringing to bear on them, rigorously andconsistently, the twin perspectives of function and history.By making morphology an end as well as a means, the course hasfired students' interest and provided them with a. rationale for learn­ing the material as well as a context in which to place it.The first three weeks of the two-quarter course are devoted to theattainment of a basic understanding of the vertebrate body plan. Inthe laboratory students examine embryological material and dissecta dogfish as an exemplary vertebrate. Some of this material stu­dents will have no doubt encountered before but generally not withthe same aims or in the same way as they do here. These labora­tory exercises are coupled with lectures on the functional and his­torical significance of the various aspects of the vertebrate bodyplan. In this way, for example, the segmented arrangement ofhuman nerves, otherwise an arbitrary pattern laid down by divinefiat, comes to be seen as a consequence of metameric segmentation- one of the fundamental features of the vertebrate body plan,originally a locomotor adaptation to swimming in an ancestral aqua­tic vertebrate.This three-week preparatory period is followed by the com­mencement of seventeen weeks of gross human dissection and mi­croscopic anatomy. The dissection of a given region of the cadaveris preceded by examination of the equivalent region in the dogfishinsofar as it illustrates a basic organizational principle. Pertinentdevelopment material is also studied. As new tissues are encoun­tered in the course of dissection, the corresponding histology is ex­amined on prepared slides.Throughout this whole period a series of lectures is deliveredwhich are intended to give the students some sophisticated concep­tual tools for understanding structure. These lectures comprise interalia: Reasons for and Consequences of Differential Growth;Biomechanics of Major Tissues; The Relation of Morphology andBehavior. For all of these topics, both general arguments are pres­ented and specific human instances adduced. The depth of treat­ment accorded the anatomical and histological material in HumanMorphology is generally comparable to that in traditional courses,but there are major shifts of emphasis. The memorization ofminutiae per se is not encouraged. The use of functional and histor­ical principles to organize them is demanded.Another innovation in the ASHUM morphology course, intro­duced this year, is the explicit recognition of the human realities ofgross dissection. For most students, it is the first time they haveever seen a cadaver, and they must lay knife to it. The experience5cannot but be a powerfully disturbing one. Traditionally, the dis­turbance is sublimated, and students unwittingly muster various de­fense mechanisms: indeed, a necessary process if they are sue­cessfu1ly to address their task. Unfortunately, because thepsychological issues are never raised directly, students rarely haveany awareness of what they are doing and for what reasons. A con­spiracy of silence seems to reign and a valuable opportunity forself-knowledge is lost.The Human Morphology course tries to make use of this oppor­tunity by treating students' first exposure to death as itself a vitalpart of a liberal medical education. Upon the occasion of their firstsession in the gross anatomy laboratory, students attend an an­thropological lecture on the ways in which the dead are regardedand treated in other cultures. In this way they are helped to under­stand their own feelings and reactions in the laboratory. In an opendiscussion following the lecture the students are urged to disburdenthemselves by expressing these freely. As a result they can ap­proach the work of gross dissection with a healthy attitude and onewhich encourages continued self-exploration and growth of under­standing.The ASHUM Human Morphology sequence was initially con­ceived by Lorna Straus, Associate Professor in the Department ofAnatomy and the College, Dean of Students in the College, andAssociate Dean of the College, and Dr. Chaires E. Oxnard, for­merly Professor in the Departments of Anatomy and Anthropology,the Committee on Evolutionary Biology, and the College, andDean of the College. R. Eric Lombard, Associate Professor in theDepartment of Anatomy, the Committee on Evolutionary Biology,and the College, assumed responsibility for the actual developmentand implementation of the course.The course as it now stands is the product of a collaboration be­tween him and Herbert Barghusen, Professor of Anatomy in theDepartment of Oral Anatomy at the University of Illinois MedicalCenter and Visiting Professor in the Department of Anatomy at theUniversity. Together they designed and wrote, over a half-year'speriod of ceaseless work, a comprehensive manual for the course.They researched exhaustively a wealth of material, classical andmodern, on human and comparative morphology, histology, de­velopment, and evolution, drew liberally on their own considerableexpertise in these areas, and prepared meticulous dissections atevery step of the way: the manual is anything but an armchair setof instructions.Rather than to introduce specific clinical correlations at astage in the student's career when they are apt to seemrandom and adventitious, the course seeks to provide asolid framework of morphological principles upon whichclinical concepts can be readily laid when needed.Problems inevitably cropped up in the course of the "first run"of Human Morphology last year; these were taken into account andredressed in the revision of the manual currently in use. The pres­ence of Mr. Barghusen the first year proved invaluable: the successof the initial venture was due more than any other factor to hisunique capability of carrying the course on his personality and storeof knowledge whenever simple organization was lacking, accordingto his colleague. This year the course is again being taught by Mr.Lombard, this time in cooperation with David G. Sperry, ResearchAssociate in the Department of Anatomy.6 Mr. Lombard says of his experience, "Since this is a very novelway of teaching the subject to future physicians and health profes­sionals, there are no results of previous experiments, no guidelinesfor us to follow. The course as it stands now is not what it was lastyear nor what it will be in the future."It is not only the scope of the ASHUM philosophy that permit­ted us to undertake such an experiment. The characteristics of thestudent body are equally as important for several reasons: (1) Themix of students - some intending to become physicians, others not- allows us as unusual degree of freedom. We have to meet theneeds of both groups, and so we are required to be broadminded.(2) Students come without preconceived notions of what it is theyshould be doing. This makes for a very receptive audience. (3) TheAnother innovation in the course is the explicit recognitionof the human realities of gross dissection. The coursetreats students' first exposure to death as itself a vital partof a liberal medical education.number of students is relatively small (There were only twenty stu­dents in the first class.). It would have been impossible to initiatesuch a project with 100 or more students, as in a typical grossanatomy course."Students themselves are clearly excited by the new course.Course evaluations last year were almost uniformly laudatory. SaysTed Strom, a third-year ASHUM student enrolled in the PritzkerSchool of Medicine, "It was the best course I've had in the Uni­versity - by the superlative I mean that not only did I get moreout of it in terms of the gross amount of information, but also thatpersonally I learned a lot in the way I look at science and teaching."The course brought together structure and function. I had neverreally appreciated the meaning of structure in biology before."When one learns a principle in the context of which one canput a lot of facts, both the principle and the facts are reinforced.The course presents the fundamental principles of morphology insuch a way that people in future clinical and non-clinical situationswill be able to speak the same language. "Susan Scherer, a second-year ASHUM student currently in themorphology course, says, "The course is terrific - excellent. Theobvious way to study morphology is to synthesize structural withdevelopmental and comparative aspects. What the course does is topresent the historical and functional bases of structures."Mr. Lombard is constantly driving home these ideas, constantlyasking challenging questions. It makes you want to go home andstudy thoroughly in order to answer intelligently ...It is necessary to stress the experimental nature of the ASHUMHuman Morphology course. It is yet too early for one to be entirelysanguine about its ultimate prospects. Human Morphology is cer­tain to undergo further, perhaps considerable, modification.Nonetheless, its demonstrable successes to date augur a bright fu­ture. The changes it has wrought in relatively short order in theconcepts and aims of teaching the staid and venerable science ofanatomy may have potentially important implications for the prepa­ration of physicians and health professionals.The author of this article was a graduate student in the AnatomyDepartment who assisted in the preparation of the HumanMorphology course manual and served as teaching assistant thefirst year the course was offered.Profile: 1979 Entering ClassJoseph CeithamlReflecting a national trend, the total number of completedaplications for the medical class entering the 1979 de­creased to 3,197 from 3,638 the previous year. Neverthe­less, the caliber of the applicants for the 1979 enteringclass was as high as it has been at any time in recentyears. In essence, the number of most highly qualifiedapplicants has remained essentially constant in the pastfour years even though the total number of applicants hasdiminished in each of those years. It has been a decreasein the number of lesser qualified applicants which hasaccounted for the bulk of the reduction in applicantnumbers.The 1979 entering medical class consists of 28 women(5 married) and 76 men (3 married). One of the malemarried students had one child at the time he began hismedical studies; the other married students had no chil­dren. The number of women in this entering class is thelargest in many years and reflects the increasing percent­age of women in our applicant pool.Seven members of the entering class were selected forthe Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) which is adual degree program of studies leading to both the M.D.and the Ph.D. degrees, usually in six or seven calendaryears. The MSTP trainees began their studies on ourcampus in the summer of 1979. The remaining 97 stu­dents in the entering class began their medical studies inthe fall of 1979.All but three of the entering students possessed at leasta baccalaureate degree at the time they began their medi­cal studies. Seven also have Master's degrees and oneholds a Ph.D. degree in Nutrition.Included in the class are 8 students from minoritygroups, and 6 foreign students (3 from Hong Kong andone each from Canada, Syria and Taiwan). See Table IThe average age of the entering students was 22 years;78 percent of the students were 21 or 22 years old atthe time they began their medical studies. The age rangeof the class was 19 to 28 years, with the youngest studenthaving received his B.S. degree after only 3 years of col­lege studies and the oldest student being a male graduatestudent in Developmental Biology on our campus who ispursuing a combined Ph.D.!M.D. program of studies.Table II lists the 50 different colleges and universitiesrepresented by this year's entering class. As usual theCollege of the University of Chicago provided the largestnumber of students (29). Also as in the past several years,the University of Illinois, Urbana was next with 10. North­western University (6) and the University of Notre Dame(5) followed. Carleton College contributed 4 studentswhile two each came from the University of Colorado,Dartmouth College, Penn State University, Stanford Uni­versity and Washington University. Forty other schoolseach had one representative in the entering class.Table III shows the geographic distribution of the 104entering medical students by their state of residence. Illi­nois, as always, had the most (42), followed by Indiana(7), California (6), and New York (5). Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania each contributed 4 whileWashington, Wisconsin and Hong Kong each provided 3.Eleven other states and Washington, D.C. and 2 otherforeign countries are represented by I or 2 students each.The academic credentials of the entering class are asfollows: the average cumulative grade point average(GPA) was 3.7 on a scale where 4.0 equals A and 3.0equals B. The class achieved essentially the same scienceGPA (3.73) as non-science GPA (3.70). The 1979 enter­ing class was only the second to have taken the new andrevised Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) and onthe average this class scored just slightly better than lastyear's class. The new MCAT consists of six sub-tests,each of which is scored on a scale of 1 to 15 with 15being the highest score. The six sub-tests include oneeach in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Scientific ProblemSolving, Reading Comprehension and Data Analysis. Theentering class averaged lion the six sub-tests whichplaced the average member of the class somewhere withinthe top ten to 15 percentile in each sub-test among all ap­plicants to U.S. medical schools last year. The class, onthe average, did equally well in each of the six sub-tests.The academic disciplines in which the entering studentshad majored in college are shown in Table IV. It is ap­parent that most of the students majored in the sciences,especially Biology (48 percent) and Chemistry (19 per­cent). On the other hand some 12 percent of the enteringclass had selected non-science majors.Since each applicant is considered strictly on his or herown merits by our Committee on Admissions, the compo-ENTERING MEDICAL CLASS, 1979EnteringClass ApplicantsSingle men 73Married men 3Married men with children (1)Total men 76Single Women 23Married women 5Married women with children (0)Total women 28American Oriental studentsBlack studentsMexican American studentsPuerto Rican studentsForeign studentsHong Kong (3)Canada (1)Syria (1)Taiwan (1) 42116Total studentsTable I 104 2,3713,1978267UNDERGRADUATE COLLEGE DISTRIBUTIONBarnard CollegeBowdoin College, MaineBrandeis UniversityUniversity of California (Berkeley)University of California (San Diego)University of Colorado (2)Carleton College, Minnesota (4)Carroll.

For example, 7 membersof the class come from families where one or both of theparents have less than a high school education. On theother hand, 21 of the students come from families whereone or both parents have achieved either an M.D. orPh.D. degree. A total of 70 students come from familieswhere one or both parents are college graduates. Elevenmembers of the entering class come from University ofChicago alumni families (9 fathers and 4 mothers); in twoinstances both parents are alumni. Five of the fathers re­ceived their M.D. degrees from the University of Chicagoand of these 3 also received their Bachelor's degree fromthe University. Four other fathers earned either Master'sdegrees or Ph.D. degrees at the University. Of the fouralumnae mothers two attended the college, one receivedan M.A. degree, and one a Ph.D. degree.The occupations of the parents suggest their diverseeducational backgrounds and include broad representationfrom the professions, business, industry and labor.Among the fathers there are 12 physicians, 12 engineers,9 merchants and/or shopowners, 8 college professors, 7business executives, 6 laborers and/or factory workers and4 salesmen. Also included are several each of accoun­tants, dentists, insurance brokers, mechanics, postalworkers, scientists and teachers. Among the other fathersare a cabinetmaker, contractor, diplomat, farmer, judge,lawyer, mayor, musician, newspaper editor, optometrist,restauranteur, Salvation Army Officer, T.V. repairman,truck driver, upholsterer and veterinarian. One of thefathers is retired and five are deceased.Of the mothers, 36 are identified as being homemakerswhile the others have supplementary careers. In this lattergroup are 12 teachers, 7 nurses and 7 secretaries. Alsoincluded among the mothers are several each of cashiers,laboratory research assistants, librarians, office workers,psychologists, sales managers, school principals and so­cial workers. Among the remaining mothers are an artdealer, dining club hostess, high school guidance coun­selor, home economist, newspaper publisher, optician,physician, real estate broker, school bus driver, tailor andwaitress, as well as several others who are employed inbanks, factories and shops. The mothers of three of theentering students are deceased.Year after year our medical school has had the goodfortune to enroll a very bright, capable, and talentedgroup of entering students. The current class has nowcompleted the first quarter of medical studies in a mostsatisfactory manner and shows every promise of being asgood as the excellent classes which have preceded it.Like its predecessors, this class has been highly selectedand has the potential to become outstanding. It will be thejoint task of our faculty and students to develop that po­tential during the next four years. Members of the facultyjoin me in wishing all of the students in the entering classevery success in their medical studies on campus and intheir medical careers thereafter. []Joseph Ceithaml is Dean of Students in the Division ofthe Biological Sciences arui the Pritzker School of Medi­cine and Professor in the Department of Biochemistry.Faculty Close-Up: Dr. Murray RabinowitzThroughout his career, Dr. MurrayRabinowitz has epitomised the basicbiomedical scientist who has very produc­tively combined his scientific explorationswith a deep concern for the scientific andpersonal growth of his many students. Hisphysical disabilities have sharpened hisdedication to the many students who havebenefited from his counsel, guidance, andinstinct for the important problems in hisarea of investigation. The Louis Block Pro­fessor in the Department of Medicine andBiochemistry has worked closely with stu­dents who are now as far away as Warsawand Bangalore, India, students who notonly remember Rabinowitz as a fine in­structor in the laboratory but who knowthat his work with mitochondria and mus­cle is some of the most important in thefield.Since 1958 Dr. Rabinowtiz has workedat the University on two distinct, thoughsometimes connected, threads of biochemi­cal research: the regulation of mitochond­rial formation, as studied in yeast, and theregulation of heart muscle mass, the last ofwhich is more specificially related to Dr.Rabinowitz's training as a cardiologist.One of the very first people to discover thatmitochondria (small organelles responsiblefor the conversion of nutrients to utilizablecell energy) contain their own genetic sys­tem (mitochondrial DNA), Rabinowitz haslong studied mitochondria in yeast cells.Yeast provides a particularly valuable wayto study mitochondrial formation since notonly may their cells grow withoutfunctional mitochondria, a capacity pos­sessed by few other cells, but yeast isabundant and easily obtainable."Unlike other types of cells, yeast cellscan have mutations affecting mitochondrialfunction without there being any killing ofthe cells," said Tom Christianson, afourth-year biology graduate student work­ing with Rabinowitz. Though yeast cellsare obviously different from human cells,basic studies of the mitochondria in thesecells have already revealed much that isrelevant to the control of mitochondria inhuman cells. Thus Rabinowitz and col­leagues have discovered a new form of mitochondrial DNA, forming rapidly in thehearts of rats whose heart muscle is forcedto work hard by hypertension (high bloodpressure). "Also many diseases, includingoveractivity of thyroid hormone, seem tobe associated with alterations in the controlof formation and renewal of mitochon­dria," said Art Lustig, a Ph.D. candidatein Biochemistry who has worked withRabinowitz for several years. Rabinowitz'slaboratory has contributed much to theseinsights.Christianson said that the major focus ofthe latest mitochrondrial research inRabinowitz's laboratory involves the map­ping of the genes carried on mitochondrialDNA, and the way these genes can betranscribed into messages which direct theformation of important proteins of themitochondria. This work has placedRabinowitz's laboratory among the firstfive in the world in this field. There aremany steps involved in the transfer of in­formation from the mitochondrial genes tometabolically active protein products. Oneof the first steps in this process is the for­mation of an RNA copy of the DNA genes- a process arrived out by a speci fietranscribing enzyme (RNA polymerase).For the first time the mitochondrial form ofthis enzyme has been highly purified byDavid Levens, a medical student who hastaken his Ph.D. with Rabinowitz.Rabinowitz's laboratory has been pre­eminent in demonstrating the presence ofspecific mitochrondrial genes for a group oftransfer RNA species, which are requiredfor the decoding of the RNA message(copy of DNA genes) to form proteins.In the face of these exceptional basicbiological science investigations, Rabin­owitz, through not now a practicing car­diologist, has never forsaken his cardiolog­ical training and background. His work hasconcentrated on the heart's response to anincrease in work load - the ability to in­crease in mass, involving at least twomajor elements, the mitochondria andthe proteins responsible for the heart's con­traction, of which myosin is the majormember. Whenever the heart is called uponto grow in mass either during early em- bryonic development, or following thephysical stress of hypertension, or after anexcess of thyroid hormone, the detailedpattern of growth is distinctive in eachcase. Thus Rabinowitz and Radovan Zak,originally a postdoctoral student withRabinowitz and now a professional col­league, have shown that there is a differentpattern of response on the part of themitochondria and myosin, with respect totheir formation and renewal. Indeed it nowseems that there are several different sub­sets of myosin m'olecules predominating ineach kind of circumstance just mentioned.There may be a subset of myosinmolecules for embryonic hearts, a slightlydifferent one for normal adult heart and yetanother in hearts stimulated by thyroidhormone. Rabinowitz and Zak and theircolleagues are now excitedly developingthe technics to learn how these differentmyosin subsets are controlled and producedin the appropriate circumstances. The activ­ity is focussed, intense and filled with ex­pectation.But much of the talk concerning Dr.Rabinowitz's research centers on his uniquerapport with his students and colleagues."He's intensely concerned that studentsfeel involved in whatever they're doing inthe laboratory," said a former student ofRabinowitz who is now at another univer­sity. "Many researchers are simply con­cerned with cultivating their own particularpreoccupations, and the students are agentsto this end. But Dr. Rabinowitz is alwaysconcerned that the laboratory be a placewhere the student can learn too. He wantsit to be a place of mutual growth, mutualedi fication. "Christianson summed up the attitude ofmany of his students. "His product is notsimple the research paper. The student ishis product. "No discussion of the Rabinowitz labora­tory would be complete without referenceto Dr. Jakovcic (Mrs. Rabinowitz) who isactively exploring the myosin changes thataccompany thyroid hormone administra­tion. She is researcher, confidante, and thegreat support of all who contribute to theinvestigations outlined here. She helps tomake it all possible.11-,/'___:=:;:":'I12/-- -/r:f�,/ / Every Dayan AdventureDonald G. Miller ('60)As my wife and I stepped out of the Saudi Arabian Airlines jet thathad transported us in seven hours time from a wet and snowy Lon­don to the hot humidity of the Red Sea port of Jeddah, we werestruck full force by an incredible wave of heat. As T. E. Lawrencehad described it many years before, "The white town hung be­tween the blazing sky and its reflection in the mirage which sweptand rolled over the wide lagoon, then the heat of Arabia came outlike a drawn sword and struck us speechless. "We had traveled halfway around the world in early January1977, to join the Saudi Arabian Health Project. Working with gov­ernment agencies - and under the jurisdiction of the Saudi Ara­bian Ministry of Defense and Aviation - Whittaker Corporation'sHealth Sciences Division had been awarded a contract to establish acomprehensive program of health care. The program was to consistof three major areas: (1) personal health care; (2) preventivemedicine; and (3) training and education, which included teachingEnglish to the Saudis.jeddah lifeOur assignment was to work at the Jeddah Military Hospital inthe ancient port city, thirty-five miles from the holy city of Mecca.Our home in Jeddah was a modern, well-constructed three­bedroom villa, located on the beach of the Red Sea. The villa wasfully furnished, with modern Scandinavian-type furniture andappliances, and running water for household use. Buses carried usto the hospital and market place as prescribed by the Saudi LaborLaw, but, eventually, we purchased an automobile for convenience,to travel to areas outside of the prescribed company bus routes.The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia occupies a land area of nearly900,000 square miles - approximately the size of the UnitedStates east of the Mississippi River. The coastal plain of Tihamaruns along the West Coast bordering the Red Sea. Jeddah lies onthis plain. Just a few miles inland are the Hijaz mountains, risingto a height of 9,000 feet in the south. East of the Hijaz, running tothe Arabian Gulf, is a desert plateau containing the Rub AI-Khali,or Empty Quarter, one of the most isolated forbidding sand desertsin the world.The kingdom is an Islamic monarchy, which has been develop­ing from monarchical to ministerial rule. His Royal Highness KingKhaled bin Abdul Aziz AI-Saud is the head of the government andthe religious and the judiciary order of the country. He is alsoDrawing of a street in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.13prime rmmster, foreign rruruster , and commander-in-chief of thearmed forces and police. He seems, nonetheless, to be widelyloved and respected by his people.Our hospital comprised a collection of old and new structuresthat collectively contained seventy-two inpatient beds, as well asoutpatient and emergency facilities for many thousands of outpa­tient visits each month. The hospital staff was comprised of thirtyphysicians and two dentists. A handful were from the UnitedStates, and the rest were from Canada, the United Kingdom, Scan­dinavia, Malta, and the Middle East. Most of the patients fell intothe last category and spoke Arabic. Bilingual interpreters were pro­vided to bridge the language barrier.Overcoming languageThe majority of our patients were Saudi Arabian soldiers andtheir "dependents": multiple wives, children, parents, brothers,and sisters. The extended family could be as many as thirty peoplefor one soldier. Our patients came from the desert Bedouin tribes,from as far away as the Yemen border, from villages, cities, andoases. We also treated Africans, Indonesians, and people from allover the Arab world. Their educational levels ranged from illiteracyto university schooling.Samples of Arabic calligraphy, an highly esteemed art and one bothdecorative and religious. These designs are made up of words in praiseof Allah taken from the Quran.14 The ebb and flow of civilization over the past several thousandyears, especially in the area of Mecca, had left a diverse mixture ofracial and cultural strains, blended together through Islamicbrotherhood, to give a unique flavor to life in Jeddah. I found thepeople generally tolerant, friendly, and anxious to learn from me,and willing to teach me, about themselves and their culture.I was a "senior general practitioner" in the outpatient depart­ment and emergency rooms, and my wife worked in the personneldepartment at the hospital. Later, I was promoted to Flight Surgeonfor the Jeddah and Taif Air Bases, and during my last year therewas also the hospital's medical director.The logistics of the Saudi Arabian Health Project were formida­ble. It was necessary to import almost everything we needed at thehospital: personnel, supplies, and equipment. And the projectoffices were kept busy providing housing, transportation, payroll,and personnel services.Saudi Medical EducationMost Saudis have had some contact with Western medicine,through Middle Eastern physicians trained in Egypt, Lebanon, andPakistan. There are many proprietary hospitals, as well as gov­ernmental district hospitals in Jeddah. The standard of care in theseinstitutions was poor by Western standards, although at presentmany of the hospitals are being upgraded, because of pressure fromboth the private and governmental sectors. High patient carestandards practiced in our health project hospitals has probably con­tributed to the general improvement of healthcare in Jeddah.There are now three medical schools in Saudi Arabia. They aredesigned along the British system. Male and female students aresegregated with "separate but equal" facilities. Students are heav­ily subsidized by the government, tuition is free, and a stipend forliving expenses and books is provided for. Graduates showing themost promise are given fellowships to do postgraduate studiesabroad. These physicians, working with a nucleus of Western­trained Saudi physicians, presently practicing and teaching in thekingdom, will elevate the level of care during the next decade.To provide facilities for these physicians, the government isbuilding a number of large modern hospitals throughout the coun­try, in the major populated areas. These new facilities, in conjunc­tion with referral centers in Jeddah and Riyadh, will promotemodern Western-type medical care.A developing, semitropical country, with a high percentage ofyoung people in the population, Saudi Arabian medical practicesees large numbers of outpatients - young adults and children. In­patients are mostly the very young and the very old.,� -�,.,.. �,-�•• 0 .: Il'" _. "" 'Accidents and DiseaseAccidents and infectious disease incidence were high while I wasthere. Road traffic was totally chaotic, resulting in serious accidentsand burns - a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in theyoung adults and children. In infants, diarrhea disorders with de­hydration was very common, as well as meningitis, sepsis and, lesscommonly, polio and diptheria.I conducted a tuberculosis clinic each Wednesday, seeing any­where from twenty-five to forty patients, on a supervised follow-upbasis. Most were referred initially for diagnosis and treatment. Wesaw, in addition to the more common pulmonary tuberculosis, ex­trapulmonary sites, such as lymph nodes and bone. We used tripledrug therapy and as all drugs were furnished by the government,there was no problem in being able to threat patients adequately.We had good compliance and follow-up. I worked with a bilin­gual public health nurse in this clinic, who was extremely capableand dedicated. This made my job much easier in obtaining neces­sary patient cooperation for a course of treatment extending fromone to two years. We also treated with INH chemoprophylaxis skintest converters that we identified. I also treated the common para­sitic diseases of the area: malaria, Bilharzia (schistosomiasishaematobium) with its attendant renal failure and ureteric stone dis­ease. We treated many with endamoebiasis and symptomatic giar­diasis.Heart disease was relatively rare; some congenital heart diseasewas diagnosed and referred to the Loma Linda heart team for re­pair. They have been routinely doing open heart surgery for someyears before the more publicized open heart surgery in Riyadh by aHouston group. Coronary artery disease was seen, but not to theextent as in the West. We saw a great deal of diabetes mellitus andbronchial asthma. Cigarette smoking is very popular, and coupledwith the high incidence of respiratory disorders, does not bode wellfor the future. There is little or no educational program against smoking. Alcoholism is much less common than in the West, butfar from nonexistent. The Moslem religion forbids the use of al­cohol or pork and the devout abstain from both.Our immunization program was active, especially for children,and OPT, MMR, BCG, an cholera immunizations were given to allchildren. DT, polio, and cholera immunizations were given to thesoldiers and anyone else that could be convinced to take them.We had great difficulty maintaining adequate supplies of in-datebiologicals because of the custom clearance problems, which couldtake many days following arrival from overseas shippers, and fromthe heat damage, not only at the airport awaiting clearance, but duealso to improper storage at the hospitals as well. Following electri­cal outages, which were frequent, we could lose large batches ofmedication at one time.During 1976 and 1977, between sixty and ninety babies weredelivered each month, and approximately 10 percent of these wereby cesarean section. We had two obstetric-gynecologic physicians,and a number of British-trained midwives. Routine deliveries werehandled by midwives. We also ran an active prenatal and gynecol­ogy clinic. We did little gynecological surgery; few of the Arabwomen had fibroids. Birth control pills and IUDs were used bysome women, although the government did not actively condonetheir use. Birth control pills were available over-the-counter in thedrug stores.My wife and I became friends with a number of Saudi families,and were guests in their homes. As a physician, I was welcomed asa family member, and had the opportunity to meet and talk withthe women, who are segregated in the home, as well. Women areprotected against outside pressures, and highly respected by themale members of their family. Most women wear the Abaya (veil),which covers them from head to toe, whenever they are outside thehome. It is forbidden for women to drive, and generally they didnot work outside the home, although a few Saudi women did workin our hospital as interpreters. It may have been a token attempt tomake use of a part of the population long prevented from express­ing themselves outside the confines of their villa walls.All in AllWe greatly enjoyed our stay in Jeddah, and, in spite of the hard­ships of coping without many of the things we were accustomed toat home, and being so far away from our children who were attend­ing school in the United States, we feel privileged to have beenable to contribute to the Saudi Arabian health care project. Theproject was dedicated to helping the people achieve a level ofhealth care comparable to the Western world developed countries,as well as develop a level of independence in providing their ownhealth care.Dr. Miller is the director of Emergency and Ambulatory HealthServices, Dominican Santa Cruz (California) Hospital.15Marriage and Parenting Physician StyleDrs. Mary Ellen Gaeke ('75) and Richard Gaeke ('73)When we were recently asked to describesome of the challenges faced by us ashusband-and-wife physicians, nothingseemed as significant as our currentexperiences with new parenthood. Our firstchild, Brian, was born in May 1979. But itwould be interesting, I think, to begin thisdiscussion at an earlier time, with afavorite story."Once upon a time, " you might say.I met my wife, Mary Ellen, on a blinddate almost fourteen years ago, when wewere in high school in Dayton, Ohio. Itwas not love at first sight; I think it took anhour or so. But then we went away todifferent colleges, and didn't get around tomarriage for about five years.I was the first to arrive at the Universityof Chicago, to begin medical school in1969. I remember the year before, when Iannounced to my friend and advisor, thelate Dean Lawrence Baldinger at NotreDame, that I would be leaving forJohns Hopkins.He explained, "You have also beenaccepted �t the University of Chicago,Richard. It is by far the superior school.And I would not have you disappointDean Ceithaml. "He was, of course, correct. Chicago itwas to be.After my freshman medical year, MaryEllen and I were married. At that time, in1970, a high school teaching position inthe inner city was virtually unobtainable fora twenty-year-old woman just graduatedfrom college, without experience. So MaryEllen began her tenure at the University ofChicago as a typist in the recentlycompleted Henry Hinds Laboratory for theGeophysical Sciences. She took part-timegraduate courses at a downtown university,riding the train every day that winter.Bicycle after bicycle was stolen. Her pursewas snatched. The hide-a-bed in ourstudent housing apartment collapsed andwe slept on the floor for weeks. Weborrowed, bit by bit, tens of thousands ofdollars to pay tuition and live. Someoneeven gave us a cat, which we were forcedto return because of allergies and itstendency to maul sleeping human flesh. It16 was clear that for this marriage ofphysicians-to-be, the most difficultchallenges came very early.I would like to take some credit forsuggesting to Mary Ellen, that first year,that she apply to medical school. Afterthat, she assumed complete control. Shereceived her M.D. degree from the PritzkerSchool of Medicine in 1975, with honors,a member of Alpha Omega Alpha, therecipient of the Mary Roberts ScottMemorial Prize, already co-author of twoscientific papers. Lost forever to theChicago public schools and theGeophysical Sciences typing pool.Our postdoctoral years at the Universityof Chicago also demanded much of ourmarriage. In 1973, I recall spending sevenweeks on-call every other night as internon the hematology ward of BillingsHospital. It was then that we first noticedwhat we have come to regard as our"newly-wed syndrome". Our time actuallyspent together over several years ofmarriage had been so limited that we stillregarded ourselves as bride and groom, inmany ways. So our relationship retaineda certain sweetness, always younger thanits years.Our baby Brian was born after nineyears of marriage, after nearly a decade atthe University of Chicago. The adjustmentsin our busy professional and personal liveshave been great, but all seem for thebetter. The happy details are familiar tomost couples who have tried to integrateparenthood with busy careers in any field.The bare necessities were provided first.Boxes of disposable diapers, babyclothes, a crib, various seats and swings,rudimentary toys, and the other familiarparaphernalia of baby care altered the decor of our small apartment in a delightful,colorful way. Close relatives were kindenough to help when Mary Ellen firstreturned to full-time work, about fiveweeks after the delivery.Our ability to cat-nap, acquired duringinternship, was revived and used whenfeeding or diaper changes were required inthe dark of night. I also took "paternityleave" at this time, to ease the transition.Friends in the neighborhood were crucialin helping us find Mrs. Edna Howard, whojoined our little household as full-timebabysitter, friend and advisor.Now, a routine seems to be established.Our days at the hospital definitely startlater and end earlier. Evenings are a delighttogether. Hundreds of photographs havebeen taken. For the present, we think wehave met the challenge of integratingparenthood with our professional lives, andthe three of us are immensely happy.Of course, the future holds greaterchanges and uncertainty.Because our professional goals centeraround patient care and teaching, ratherthan research, we plan to move ourpractices from the University of Chicago toa more appropriate setting. This may be amedical school "back home" in Ohio.Such a move would also satisfy the desiresof Brian's grandparents to have us allnearby, and our desire to raise him outsideof the inner city environment.We know of several of our friends,medical school classmates, interns andresidents, who are husband-and-wifephysicians and have recently becomeparents. Our communication with them hasbeen a great source of encouragement,since they have made adjustments similarto our own. We conclude by sending themour best wishes, and thanking the editorsfor inviting us to tell of these experienceswhich are, to some extent, common to usall. []Drs. Mary Ellen ('75) and Richard Gaeke(' 75), alumni, also completed their resi­dency training in internal medicine at theUniversity. Mary Ellen is currently a Fel­low in the Section of Hematology-Oncologyand Richard is Assistant Professor in theSection of Gastroenterology, Department ofMedicine.Honor RollThe University of Chicago Medical Center1979 Fund Report to Alumni and Friends17Dear Alumni:When Dean Uretz asked me to serve as chairman of theMedical Center's 1979 Annual Fund, I accepted because Ibelieved in the University of Chicago and its alumni. Ibelieved we should and could do more for our alma mater.I'm both happy and proud to confirm that my expectationswere correct.The Annual Fund was indeed successful.Unrestricted gifts, Divisional gifts, Student Aid funds, andcontributions for special purposes increased.Donors to named gift clubs increased.Gifts from corporations matching alumni gifts increased.Thank you, alumni, for responding to the challenge.Our work is just beginning. As we enter the 80's we knowwe must provide additional support for the Medical Center.To help raise our sights we are introducing two new giftclubs:The "Gold Key Society" will recognize gifts of $2,500 andup. To honor first time members and to express ourappreciation, these charter members will receive a goldkey paperweight.The "Midway Club" will recognize gifts of $500-$999. Inappreciation of this membership, charter members willreceive a colored photograph of the Medical Center.The "Dean's Associates" recognizing donors of $1,000 and"Century Club" recognizing donors of $100 will continue.Traditionally all donors of $ 100 or more are guests of theDean at the annual Medical Alumni Day Breakfast. Thisyear the breakfast will be Thursday, May 15.Another innovation is the establishment of Reunion ClassChallenge Funds for those classes holding a reunion in 1980.Several members in each reunion class will set up a fund tochallenge new and increased gifts to the class fund. We areconfident this will stimulate additional support for theMedical Center and improve attendance at the class reunions.Challenge funds have been established for most of thereunion classes.We must keep working for our alma mater. Alumni givingis increasingly important and necessary in financing andquality of education and research that is conducted at theUniversity of Chicago.We challenge you to respond in 1980. With the highregard the school enjoys among its alumni and the ongoinggenerosity of those who are listed in this Honor Roll, ourhopes for 1980 should be realized.Sincerely,Randolph W. Seed '60Chairman, Alumni FundMedical Center18 Dear Friends:Thank you for a successful 1979 Medical Center AlumniFund. Many people have helped to make it so--alumni,students, faculty, parents and friends. All have directed theirefforts toward raising the level of participation and supportfor our Medical Center. Such efforts were effective andgreatly appreciated.The full report is printed in this issue of Medicine on theMidway rather than in a separate report in the spring. To dothis, however, we had to go to press without the names ofalumni and friends who made gifts in November andDecember through the American Medical AssociationEducation and Research Foundation.These are the highlights of the 1979 Fund. Contributionstotaled $398,950. Of this $116,746 were unrestricted,allowing me the flexibility to use the funds where there wasthe greatest need. Gifts for student loans and scholarshipsamounted to $105,568. This money directly benefits thecurrent students and in time future students as many of ourloans are set up as revolving funds. One special gift of$100,000 by an alumna is for an endowed fund which someday will support a faculty scholar.Special recognition for this year's accomplishments mustgo to Dr. Randolph W. Seed, '60, Chairman of the AnnualFund, and to the 45 class chairmen who gave so generouslyof their time and energy. I also want to thank the studentswho participated in the phonathon. This year, too, theparents of our medical students were asked to help and wewere most pleased with their response. Of course, thepersonal commitment of each donor is the important qualityin helping us to strengthen our on-going educational andresearch programs at the Medical Center.As we enter a new decade of the eighties devoted toexcellence in education, research, and health care, we hopewe will continue to earn your generous support and loyalty.Gratefully,�:::m�Dean and Vice-Presidentfor the Medical CenterPatrons and Dean's Associates($1,000 or moreannually)Sponsors ($500)Cenrury CII1b!

Donnelly & Sons CompanyHoffmann-La Roche FoundationInternational Harvester CompanyKaiser Steel CorporationMcNeil LaboratoriesMinnesota Mining and Manufacturing FoundationPolaroid FoundationSmithkline CorporationXeroxFocus on BiochemistryAn InterviewwithDr. Theodore SteckTraditionally, what have been the principal researchinterests in the department and what are its main areas ofemphasis?The Department of Biochemistry has, over the last de­cade, attempted to maintain a broad and diverse programof investigation of the molecular basis of life. The facultyhas been individualistic in its approach to research ques­tions. Many important programs are flavored by close tieswith clinical departments in the Medical School, althoughour interaction with basic departments, such as the De­partment of Chemistry, are in many ways just as irnpor­tant. I would say that it is our diversity and our commit­ment to investigate fundamental problems in biochemistrythat characterize this department's research tradition.Do you think that has been an attractive part of thedepartment-that people from outside are aware that thedepartment has maintained a good research record?The research record of this department is that of its indi­vidual faculty members who are, by and large, outstand­ing members of the national and international biochemis­try communities. The stature of our faculty members isrecognized in many ways: for example, by their electionto professional societies and editorial boards, by honorsand awards, and by numerous invitations to visit institu­tions around the world. Our department is also soughtafter by potential graduate students seeking a solid anddiverse background in biochemistry, by postdoctoral can­didates looking for outstanding laboratories to furthertheir training, and even by medical students with scien­tific interest of professional aspirations in biochemistry. Dr. Theodore Steck is Professor and Chairman of theDepartment of Biochemistry and Professor in the De­partment of Medicine. He received an M.D. from Har­vard Medical School in 1964 and joined the faculty of theUniversity of Chicago in 1970. Dr. Steck was appointedchairman of the Department of Biochemistry in April1979 and was interviewed thereafter by Nelson COI'er,Director of Development for the Medical Center.33What is the present research being conducted? Could youdefine certain major areas?There are approximately thirty members of our faculty;about half have primary appointments in Biochemistry,while the rest are rooted in Chemistry, Biophysics andTheoretical Biology, Medicine, Pediatrics, Pathology andother sister departments. The research of this groupcreates a broad spectrum, with many collaborations andprograms knitting it together.One area of interest in this department relates tomolecular endocrinology or the biochemical basis forhormone structure and function. In this area, we haveDonald Steiner focusing his attention on the expression ofthe insulin gene and the interaction of insulin with targetcells; Howard Tager studying the elaboration of glucagon;and Kan Agarwal looking at the expression of genes forother peptide hormones. Gus Fried studies prostaglandins;Eugene Goldwasser is interested in erythropoietin; andJohn Law is studying the juvenile hormone of insects. Inthe Ben May Laboratory, our colleagues Shutsung Liaoand Guy Williams-Ashman are interested in steroid hor­mones, androgens in particular. Several of our faculty areinterested in protein structure and in the molecular basisof enzyme action. Among these are Bob Heinrikson, JohnWestley, Francois Kezdy, Tom Kaiser, and Herb Fried­man.In the area of nucleic acid biochemistry and moleculargenetics, we have Nick Cozzarelli, Mas Nakamoto, SamWeiss, Kan Agarwal, Murray Rabinowitz and Wolf Ep­stein. Biochemists interests in lipids include John Law,Francois Kezdy, Angelo Scanu and Godfrey Getz. Com­plex carbohydrates are studied by AI Dorfman, NancySchwartz and Glyn Dawson. More complex systems, suchas organelles, are also under study; Ira Wool is interestedin the organization of ribosomes, Godfrey Getz is in­terested in mitochondrial biogenesis, Wolf Epstein in thesolute transport in E. coli membranes; I am interested inthe molecular organization and function of plasma mem­branes. We also have faculty interested in immunology(Mike Loken, Heinz Kohler) and in developmentalbiochemistry (Gene Goldwasser and AI Dorfman). Theresearch of each of these individuals is a fascinatingstory.How do the educational components for undergraduatesand graduates fit into the department? Are they underseparate researchers or are there actually separatecourses?Our department teaches one course in undergraduatebiochemistry. Advanced undergraduates may also take ourgraduate courses in their last year or two in college. Afew exceptional students each year put in extra work andearn a Master's degree in biochemistry along with theirBachelor's degree. Undergraduates also find their wayinto our laboratories in elective courses, honors projectsand part-time employment. Our faculty also teach, on anindi vidual basis, introductory courses in the Common34 Core biology sequences. But other than that, we do nothave a systematic program of teaching in the College.The focus of our attention is on graduate education.We admit between six and ten Ph.D. candidates eachyear. However, we educate many times this number an­nually because our constituency is the whole of the Divi­sion of the Biological Sciences. A typical graduate coursewill have a handful of undergraduates, perhaps half adozen of our own graduate students, students enrolled ingraduate programs throughout the Division and a largenumber of medical students. The course in biochemistryrequired for medical students is, in fact, one of our grad­uate offerings.Does this broad-based educational activity allow you tospot really talented future researchers as students who willcome through the department, and may later come backto teach and to do research in the department?Yes, our teaching program inevitably brings to our atten­tion very talented and promising students. Over the years,our department has appointed to its faculty some very ex­ceptional individuals from among its students.Also, is the department good at training people for otherinstitutions?I think it is characteristic of the University of Chicago asa whole, and this department is no exception. Biochemis­try has had students associated with it, postdoctoral fel­lows and faculty members who have become outstandingfigures in biomedical sciences throughout the nation. Thisis a wonderful place for a promising young person tobegin his career.How is the department involved with the treatment ofpatients here?As a department, we have no role in the clinical programsrelating to teaching or patient care. However, several ofour faculty are jointly appointed in clinical departmentssuch as Medicine and Pediatrics. In some cases, there is avery fruitful fusion of basic research with clincial rele­vance. I think that Angelo Scanu is a good example. Hisstudy of- serum lipoproteins proceeds at a fundamentallevel, yet has important implications for an understandingof atherosclerosis, a major health problem in this country.Similarly, Dorfman and Dawson have a fundamentalinterest in sugar-containing macromolecules, and, work­ing in the Children's Hospital, they have made importantcontributions to the understanding of diseases, particularas inborn errors of metabolism in newborn children.Donald Steiner's research on insulin has not only hadfar-reaching basic significance, but has had a major im­pact on the way in which diabetes is understood at themolecular level in the clinical arena. It is important torecognize that nine members of our Biochemistry facultyhold M.D. degrees. Nevertheless, their research is uni­formly of a fundamental, rather than clinical, orienta­tion.[]Medicine in the MilitaryCol. Rostik Zajtchuk ('63)The draft of doctors to the military service, and in particular theArmy, in the 60's appeared as an ominous event to the medicalstudent at the idyllic University of Chicago campus. Somehow, itseemed that medical school graduation and completion of internship- a culmination of what appeared to be a long, hard road - didnot need to be married up to the hazards and uncertainty of Armylife, especially as the conflict in Southeast Asia escalated into anunpopular war.The lA draft classification increased the apprehension as wordfrom classmates and colleagues filtered from Vietnam about what itwas like to practice medicine as general medical officers at battal­ion aid stations. Field medicine - medicine of necessity and in­genuity - in medical student terms was like an exaggeration of theEmergency Room's trauma cases on a Saturday night in a big city.But there were real differences. How many of us were prepared todeal with tropical diseases, mass casualties and the day-to-day med­ical needs of soldiers away from familiar surroundings of country,home, family and friends?Vietnam AssignmentSome of us were allowed to delay our entrance to active duty inorder to complete specialty training on the Berry Plan. "BerryPlanners" were not immune to Vietnam and as fully trained sur­geons were almost guaranteed an assignment there in the late 60's.Their particular skills were needed in the evacuation hospitals,where a full complement of medical and surgical specialties pro­vided the life- and limb-saving procedures for wounded soldiers.The semi-mobile hospital resembled that made famous in M*A *S*H(a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital).With just such a background, upon completion of my residencytraining in 1970, I entered active duty and was assigned to Ft.Campbell, Kentucky, as a thoracic surgeon. Joan was senior resi­dent in Otolaryngology at the University of Chicago and was plan­ning to join me there in 1971. After treating convalescent patientsfrom Vietnam at Ft. Campbell, I decided to volunteer for Vietnamduty in order to put my surgical skills to better use. With somedifficulty, in May 1971 I recruited Joan to join the Army for a two-year tour - the first year in the Republic of Vietnam. Joanhad to deal with the same apprehensions of all those 1 A physiciandraftees. Her family, friends and acquaintances at work could notbelieve that she was volunteering to join the Army and, fur­thermore, to go to a war.After six weeks of officers' basic training at Ft. Sam Houston,Texas, and after bidding farewell to family, friends and the Univer­sity of Chicago campus, we left for Vietnam in September 1971.San Francisco was our departure point and we went to see thefilm M*A*S*H before embarking on the 23-hour flight. With asmall bottle of champagne in tow, we were ready to celebrate oureleventh wedding anniversary in transit, wherever that might be.As luck would have it, the celebration occurred at the 95th Re­placement Battalion at Long Binh Post amidst the sounds and lightsof war in an oppressive humidity and heat. We shared the bottle ofwarm champagne with our Medical Corps friends who had alsomade the journey from Ft. Sam Houston.Camaraderie in ConflictFriendships were strong and deep. Most of our friends weregoing to duty as general medical officers close to the demilitarizedzone (DMZ) where a good deal of the actual fighting was takingplace. Our apprehension for them increased daily. Their medicalcare would be in direct and immediate support of casualties. Effortswere made to call and to see them as often as possible. Ourthoughts were with them whenever casualties arrived from remoteareas like Phu Bai, Da Nang, Cu Chi and the Me Cong Delta.The field medic or corpsman with his experience in emergencyfield medicine and the support of superb helicopter evacuation pro­cedures got soldiers to us in time and shape for our best salvage oflife and limb. Team effort was always evident - whether clerk,corpsman, nurse or physician. "Stateside" apathy, arguments, andthe politics of power were absent. A sense of camaraderie de­veloped on site.The 24th Evacuation Hospital was well known for its reputationas a critical care hospital among the Americans as well as theVietnamese. We busied ourselves with long work days, treating35every imaginable medical and surgical problem, frequently workingoutside of our skills and specialties and without the comfort andsupport that we knew at the University of Chicago.For many of us, the year promoted introspection. Reflection andsorting out of our own priorities were easier in some respectsagainst the background of war. During our off-duty time we wereable to work Vietnamese hospitals, civilian and military. Our civil­ian physician contacts developed into friendships that continue tothis day.Choosing the MilitaryOur year in Vietnam with the exposure to combat medicine and adifferent culture stimulated our interest in military medicine. Thefriends and associates in the Medical Corps encouraged us to con­tinue our interests in research and teaching at our subsequent as­signment at Fitzsimmons Army Medical Center in Denver,Colorado, and our current duty at Walter Reed Army Medical Cen­ter in Washington, D.C.Practicing medicine at Walter Reed is similar to what we re­member at the University of Chicago. For those interested in re­search, opportunities are available at both the clinical and basic sci­ence levels. An abundance of excellent consultants exists at theArmed Forces Institute of Pathology, Walter Reed Army Instituteof Reseach and the National Institutes of Health. These are com­plemented now by the staff of our own medical school, the Uni­formed Services University of the Health Sciences (USUHS).USUHS was established in 1972 and is currently admitting 130students per year. These students must join one of the branches ofthe military or public health service and - in return for a salaryand having their tuition paid during medical school years - theyare obligated for seven years in the service. Many of the studentswill continue in residency training programs before paying backtheir obligation, and will enter the work force as specialists. Themedical school has created a new dimension to military medicine.For example, we hold academic appointments as professor and as­sociate professor of surgery. Appointments which are based onacademic qualifications not military rank.The Army Graduate Medical Education system provides for afull-time faculty for residency training. It permits close supervisionand development of skills similar to that at the University ofChicago. The number and variety of cases are large because medi­cal centers are worldwide referral centers and there is excellentcooperation among various specialties, which makes for pleasantworking conditions.Research is performed not only in medical centers but in mostmilitary hospitals all over the world. Some past accomplishmentsinclude the following: US Army physicians performed the first medical research in the western hemisphere (Dr. William Beau­mont); wrote the first U. S. pharmacopoeia; performed the firstwide-scale smallpox immunizations; originated, organized medicalstatistics; started the National Library of Medicine; developedphotomicrographs; first used X-rays for medical purposes in theUnited States; discovered the cause and prevention of yellow fever;developed chlorine for water purification; developed vaccines formany diseases now used worldwide, including typhoid fever,measles, influenza, equine encephalitis and others; applied penicil­lin treatment for venereal disease; developed wide-scale bloodbanking; used helicopter evacuation of critical patients; originatedthe concept of total emergency medical care for a community, theconcept of shock lung, disseminated intravascular coagulation,malaria control, new burn treatment and other important contribu­tions.Expert Field Medical BadgeOur current tours in the peacetime Army seem very similar toour University of Chicago experience. But, additionally, we canand have participated in field exercises with combat troops. In May1979 we both earned the Expert Field Medical Badge which testsskills in combat medicine under field conditions. This earned qual­ification badge carries a pass-rate of twenty percent. Testing con­sists of an advanced physical fitness test, field radio and telephoneskills necessary for rescue missions in the evacuation of the sickand wounded, day and night compass courses, a twelve-mile forcedroad march in full combat gear to be completed within three hours,and evaluation of camouflage and weapon servicing and firing. Thefinal phase of testing includes a joint effort of a four-person litterteam to evacuate a ISO-pound wounded soldier under simulatedfield conditions with tear gas and booby traps. This extra field dutyallows us to more fully appreciate the vital services of the fieldmedic and his role in the combat support of the soldier.Although the Vietnam conflict was an unpopular war and its vet­erans are still criticized for, or critical of, their participation, wegave our medical care willingly to those young soldiers drafted inwartime and continue to do so for the peacetime volunteer Army.

Mitchell,founder of Jovan, the Chicago-basedcosmetics and fragrance firm.Mitchell's pledge is a leadership gift tothe University'S $80.2 million moderniza­tion program for the Medical Center.University President Hanna H. Gray,said, "Mr. Mitchell's generous pledge willserve as a catalyst for our long-range plansto renew the clinical care facilities andstrengthen related academic programs inthe Medical Center. We are grateful to Mr.Mitchell at this initial, critical phase of ourefforts. "Robert B. Uretz, Vice President for theMedical Center and Dean of the Divisionof Biological Sciences and The PritzkerSchool of Medicine, said, "Our clinicalcare facilities need to be updated to allowus to continue to make possible research,patient care, and teaching of the highestquality. Mr. Mitchell has helped to insurethat the need will be met. "Mitchell said, "the University ofChicago has long been a leader in medicaleducation, research and patient care. It isone of the few places that genuinely makea difference. My family and I want to helpmaintain and strengthen that tradition in theyears ahead. "Mitchell was born in Chicago. He is thefounder, Chairman of the Board and ChiefExecutive Officer of Jovan, Inc., whichwas recently sold to the Beecham Group,Ltd., a British pharmaceutical and con­sumer- products company which operatesthroughout the world.

Rosenberg, a gastroenterologistand director of the new Clinical NutritionResearch Unit (CNRU). Dr. Rosenberg isProfessor in the Department of Medicine,and Head of the Section of Gastroenterol­ogy."We must teach medical students andpracticing physicians what we know aboutnutrition in a manner that is more effectivethan in the past, and we must expand nutri­tion education at all levels for medical pro­fessionals. We must also recognize thatthere are many unanswered questions aboutnutrition, questions which must be investi­gated to determine more conclusively therelationship between nutrition and dis­ease," Dr. Rosenberg said.A unique feature of the Clinical Nutri­tion Research Unit at the Medical Center isthat it builds and expands upon an existinggroup of faculty dedicated to nutrition re­search and education, the Committee onHuman Nutrition and Nutritional Biology.The Committee, formed in 1978, bringstogether doctors and scientists with dif­ferent expertise but with similar academicand scientific interests in nutrition."This provides a framework that enablesus to immediately begin to use the funds ina productive manner," Dr. Rosenberg said.Patients in the Hospitals and Clinics willbenefit from the enlarged diagnosticcapabilities and even more through the ac­tivities of the Nutrition Support Service, acomponent of the CNRU that is already inexistence, but which will be expanded inpersonnel and service through the grant.The service team includes an attendingphysician who is a fellow in nutrition, anurse, a nutritionist and a pharmacist, whoprovide nutrition consultation for any pa­tient on request. The Nutrition Supportteam performs a nutritional assessment ofthe patient, establishes nutritional goals andmakes recommendations for the achieve­ment of those goals."The Medical Center is fortunate tohave on staff several talented clinical nu­tritionists and dietitians, some who aregraduates of our master's degree programin clinical nutrition," said Dr. Rosenberg."They participate in floor rounds and pa­tient conferences, contributing valuable in­formation on patient diets and posing nutri­tional questions for the doctors to consider.Through this kind of interaction, thedietitian-nutritionist has become an increas­ingly important member of the medicalteam," he added.The activities of the Nutrition Support37Service also offer clinical opportunities forparticipating medical students to use nutri­tion assessment and intervention techniquesto improve the nutritional status of hos­pitalized patients."This nutrition teaching in the context ofa respected consultation and interventionservice for patients may be one of the mosteffective means of reinforcing the centralimportance of nutritional consideration inmedical practice."The resurgence of activity and interestreturns nutrition to a visible position inmedical care after a hiatus of some 30years, " Dr. Rosenberg concluded. []John PontarelliHeart Arrhythmias Linkedto Accumulation of lPCWhen coronary arteries that supply bloodto your heart become plugged and depriveyour heart of its normal supply of bloodand oxygen, some of your heart tissue isdamaged and some dies. This is the basisof a "heart attack" or myocardial infarc­tion.Abnormal amounts of a chemical by­product of heart metabolism, LPC(lysophosphatidylcholine) will then ac­cumulate in the damaged or dead heart tis­sue, it has recently been demonstrated.LPC drastically alters electrical signals thatcomprise the normal heartbeats, Dr.Morton Arnsdorf, a University of Chicagocardiologist, has now demonstrated.Dr. Arnsdorfs experiments of the effectsof LPC on muscle fibers from the hearts ofsheep produced irregular heart rhythms (ar­rhythmias) resembling those of an acuteheart attack.The research involved the fact that tinybits of living heart muscle, placed in a lab­oratory solution, will "beat" - contract orrelax - depending upon the proper elec­trochemical signals, in the same way as thewhole living heart.Blood-deprived, damaged (ischemic),dead (infarcted) or oxygen-starved (hypox­ic) heart tissue will not in itself usually killyou unless the injury is massive. It is thefailure of the heart to maintain its normalrhythm, and to supply the brain and othervital organs with blood that will usuallykill you.Arnsdorf foresses the possibility of anew type of heart drug being developed asa result of research during the past twoyears on the effects of LPC on heart tissueat the University of Chicago and at Wash­ington University in St. Louis.38 "Maybe the true anti-arrythmic drugwould involve controlling the accumulationof LPC," says Arnsdorf. "If we could stopit from accumulating or get rid of it or in­activate it, we possibly could develop anentirely new class of drugs, particularly foracute myocardial infarction, the biggestkiller that we now have."Specialists in the physiology of heartcells have developed methods of studyinghow various substances (such as LPC) af­fect the electrical activity of the cells.LPC, Arnsdorf found, had a "biphasic"effect. It initially increased the heart cell'sexcitability - the ease with which a nor­mal or, more importantly, an abnormalheart beat could be produced. LPC latertended to decrease normal excitability and,at times, increase abnormal excitability."Either one of these actions can produceabnormal rhythm disturbances, " he says.The Washington University-University ofChicago research "has produced one of thefirst major new ideas that we have had inrecent years regarding how these heartrhythms arise and what perhaps we coulddo to regulate them," says Arnsdorf.[]James S. SweetDopamine ViewedThrough MicroscopeUniversity of Chicago pharmacologistshave borrowed a technique from astronomyto distinguish substances under the mi­croscope by their glow.Using sensitive spectroscopic measure­ments through the microscope, Dr. RobertJ. Dinerstein and associates have identifieddopamine (DA) in nerve fibers in the dogkidney. "This is the first direct identifica­tion of DA as a neurotransmitter in theperipheral nervous system," commentedDinerstein. "These nerve fibers apparentlycontrol expansion of blood vessels in theurine filtration areas of the k idneys ,facilitating blood and urine flow. The fiberspreviously were thought to be activatedsolely by norepinephrine (NE), anothertransmitter substance."Because the technique is sensitive tosingle nerve cells or fiber measurements, ithas wide application to identification of DAand NE tracts in the entire nervous system,including the brain.Since DA increases kidney blood flow,scientists had hypothesized that there mustbe nerves in the kidneys that normally se­crete DA as a chemical signal (neuro­transmitter) between individual nerve cells. Dinerstein and his associates studied mi­croscopic cross sections of arterioles fromthe glomerular vascular poles (urine secret­ing areas) of dog kidneys. They found thatDA was the predominant neurotransmitterassociated with the nerves of these ar­terioles, while NE was found to be pre­dominant in the major renal arteries. Thenext step, said Dinerstein, is to study au­topsied human kidneys.About 20 years ago, a technique was de­veloped that made nerves which containNE or DA fluoresce. This method (Falck­Hillarp histofluorescence) made possiblethe mapping of much of the peripheral andcentral nervous systems."However, " Dinerstein says, "bothtypes of neurotransmitters give the samefluorescence spectrum, and since one findsten times as much NE, on the average, asDA, in the homogenized organs of manyanimals, it was assumed that all peripheralnerves secrete NE. "Dinerstein argued that "an alternativehypothesis would be that for many tissuesthere simply could be ten times as manyNE- as DA-containing nerve fibers. An av­erage tissue level from an organ homoge­nate cannot rule out this hypothesis. "Only direct measurement of the neuro­transmitter content of an individual nervefiber could test his hypothesis, he argued.However, the then existing techniques formeasuring fluorescence through the mi­croscope were not sufficiently sensitive tomake this determination.Astronomers have similar experimentalproblems that microscopists have inmeasuring light from magnified dim ob­jects, Dinerstein reasoned. He conferredwith Alan Ferber (Ph.D., the University ofChicago, 1977), then a graduate student inphysics at the University. Working withFerber and other physical scientists,Dinerstein developed an instrument to mea­sure the fluorescence from neurotransmit­ters in a single nerve fiber of approximately1 micron diameter.The new microscopic technique is usedto identify the specific wavelengths of lightthat excite the fluorescence of DA and NEderivatives.Using a combination of chemical reac­t io as and microscopic measurements,Dinerstein has been able to distinguish be­tween the two compounds by characterizingdistinctive ways in which they are excitedto fluorescence.Science magazine featured the Dinersteinresearch in a cover story August 3. []James S. SweetIn MemoriamHenry Tubbs Ricketts,1901-1979Henry Tubbs Ricketts, Professor Emeritusin the Department of Medicine and aworld-respected authority on diabetes, diedNovember 23 in Oak Lawn, Ill. He wasseventy-eight.Dr. Ricketts began his medical studies atthe University of Chicago, but completedthem at Harvard, whence he received hisM. D. in 1929. He returned to Chicago asresident in Internal Medicine in the then newly-opened Billings Hospital, and re­mained there eventually to become Profes­sor of Medicine.Dr. Ricketts early in his career evinced astrong interest, which was to provelifelong, in the problems of metabolism.He chose diabetes mellitus as his area ofspecialization just twelve years after thediscovery of insulin, and rapidly estab­lished a reputation as an expert of rareknowledge and competence on the man­agement of this difficult and many-faceteddisease. Throughout his long professionallife he made many signal contributions tomodern understanding of diabetes in all itscomplexity.He pioneered the Ricketts system oftreating very unstable diabetics with multi­ple injections of short-acting insulin, in­stead of single injections of the long-actingform. As Sidney Schulman, the Ellen C.Manning Professor in the Division of theBiological Sciences, recently noted, "Theinsulin pump which has been given somuch publicity in the past year is just afancy way of doing what Henry started solong ago."Dr. Ricketts was the recipient of numer­ous professional honors and awards, includ­ing election to the Association of AmericanPhysicians, the American Clinical andClimatological Association, the AmericanPhysiological Association, Fellowship in the American College of Physicians, andPresidency of the American Diabetes As­sociation. He was one of the founders ofthe Chicago Diabetes' Association and wasactive in local social organizations. Hislong association with the Institute ofMedicine, which he served as member andchairman of the board, and as vice­president and president, is particularlydeserving of mention.He was known for his wit, humor, andinsistence on good English, as well as hismasterly professional skills. In memorialremarks, Walter L. Palmer, the Richard T.Crane Professor Emeritus in the Depart­ment of Medicine, said of Dr. Ricketts:"Students admired his meticulous attentionto details. His teaching was by examplewith a minimum of precept. His patientswere grateful, loyal, and devoted. His col­leagues on the faculty held him in thehighest esteem. "He maintained avid interests in aviation,both as pilot and physician (he was an au­thority on avaiation medicine), sailing,hunting, and music. He is survived by hiswife Mandeliene Franks; two daughters,Shirley Smith Weiner and Nancy Bradley;a son, Dr. Howard James Ricketts; andseven grandchildren.A memorial service for Dr. Ricketts washeld in Bond Chapel on the campus of theUniversity of Chicago in January.
