The safety of genetically modified foods should be considered and assessed at all stages of the developmental process. The introduction of foods produced through agricultural biotechnology has generated considerable concern among certain consumers in many countries. The safety of these novel products has often been called into question during the ongoing public debate. So, safety assessment of these novel foods is absolutely crucial to their acceptance by consumers. Safety assessment must be a consideration at all stages of the development of a genetically modified food: gene discovery, line selection, and product advancement to commercialization. This article focuses on the role that safety assessment plays in all three of those stages. Particular emphasis is placed upon allergenicity assessment, but we must recognize that allergenicity is but one factor to consider in a comprehensive safety assessment approach. In many countries, the safety assessment for genetically modified foods is mandatory and a review of the safety assessment data is conducted by the regulatory authorities. Some concern has arisen because the safety assessment process in the United States has been voluntary, but the U.S. Food & Drug Administration has announced its intent to create a mandatory safety assessment for genetically modified foods. However, the genetically modified foods allowed on the U.S. market thus far have been subjected to a de facto mandatory safety assessment system because governmental regulatory agencies have reviewed the available safety assessment information. Thus far, all the genetically modified products brought into the marketplace have been subjected to such an intensive safety assessment.

转基因食品的安全性应在发展过程的各个阶段加以考虑和评估。引进通过农业生物技术生产的食品在许多国家的某些消费者中引起了相当大的关注。在持续的公众辩论中,这些新产品的安全性经常受到质疑。因此,对这些新型食品的安全评估对于消费者是否接受它们至关重要。安全评估必须在转基因食品开发的所有阶段予以考虑:基因发现、品系选择和产品推进到商业化。本文着重讨论了安全评价在这三个阶段中所起的作用。特别强调的是过敏原评估,但我们必须认识到,过敏原只是综合安全评估方法中要考虑的一个因素。在许多国家,转基因食品的安全评估是强制性的,由监管部门对安全评估数据进行审查。由于美国的安全评估过程是自愿的,因此出现了一些担忧,但美国食品和药物管理局宣布,它打算对转基因食品进行强制性的安全评估。但是,到目前为止,允许在美国市场上销售的转基因食品实际上是受到强制性安全评估制度的约束,因为政府监管机构审查了现有的安全评估信息。到目前为止,所有进入市场的转基因产品都经过了如此严格的安全评估。安全评估数据已由各地监管机构审查

Clinical Features of Food Allergy 食物过敏的临床特征
Pub Date : 2002-05-01 DOI: 10.1080/08865140214383
J. Hourihane, S. Strobel
Atopic (IgE-associated) diseases have become increasingly prevalent over the past 30 years (1) and it should not be surprising that susceptible (atopic) individuals have developed allergies to food proteins. Food allergy may be a species ‘‘cost’’ paid by unfortunate individuals for the possession of a robust adaptive immune system and the broad diversity of the diet tolerated by the majority (more than 95%) of the human population. Allergic reactions to food can be disabling, even fatal. Even the prospect of exposure to food allergens causes considerable psychological morbidity and social isolation in affected individuals and their families (2). This anxiety is heightened further by the facts that the point prevalence of food allergies is highest in the age group about which families worry most—preschool children—and that no effective treatments are currently available (3). Parental anxiety and the necessary dietary exclusions can inhibit significantly the normal socialization of the child. Inaccurate information and the inadequate availability of expert advice often compound the anxiety. Management strategies are useful and
在过去的30年里,特应性(ige相关)疾病变得越来越普遍(1),易感(特应性)个体对食物蛋白质产生过敏并不奇怪。食物过敏可能是不幸的个体为拥有强大的适应性免疫系统和大多数(95%以上)人类耐受的广泛多样性饮食而付出的物种“代价”。对食物的过敏反应可能会致残,甚至致命。即使是接触食物过敏原的前景,也会在受影响的个人及其家庭中引起相当大的心理发病率和社会孤立(2)。这种焦虑进一步加剧,因为食物过敏的发生率在家庭最担心的学龄前儿童年龄组中最高,而且目前没有有效的治疗方法(3)。父母的焦虑和必要的饮食排斥可以显著抑制正常的社交孩子的。不准确的信息和专家建议的不足往往加剧了这种焦虑。管理策略是有用的,而且

The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) supports an array of environmental health science education activities through a variety of extramural and intramural programs. The purpose of these initiatives is to help individuals better understand the effects and risks to human health from physical and social factors. These initiatives stem from the NIEHS' recognition that the lay community requires greater knowledge about environmental health issues as the public is increasingly challenged to make decisions on the risks and benefits of agents that permeate society. In addition, the NIEHS sees these programs as an investment in the future of our society and environmental health sciences. We describe the programs and highlight projects that demonstrate how these efforts are being applied.
国家环境健康科学研究所(NIEHS)通过各种校外和校内项目支持一系列环境健康科学教育活动。这些举措的目的是帮助个人更好地了解身体和社会因素对人类健康的影响和风险。这些倡议源于NIEHS认识到,由于公众面临越来越多的挑战,需要对渗透社会的各种物质的风险和利益作出决定,因此,非专业社区需要更多关于环境健康问题的知识。此外,NIEHS认为这些项目是对我们社会和环境健康科学未来的投资。我们描述了这些计划,并强调了展示这些努力是如何被应用的项目。

From Visiting Professionals to Videoconferences: Using Creative Catalysts to Infuse Environmental Health Sciences Content into the K-12 Curriculum 从来访的专业人士到视频会议:使用创造性催化剂将环境健康科学内容注入K-12课程

There are many excellent reasons for including the basics of environmental health sciences, including toxicology, in the topics taught in our nation's K-12 classrooms. In addition to being supported by various state and federal mandates, the teaching of these topics lend itself to the best practices of successful educators, such as integrated teaching, inquiry-based learning, and community-connected schools. Most important, however, is the need to create a well-equipped citizenry to struggle with the issues that arise where human health and the environment intersect; issues that are increasingly urgent, contentions, and complex. While creating curricular materials and offering teacher workshops are excellent ways to bring about change within K-12 classroom, there are other methods to creatively influence what happens in our nation's schools. Two of these approaches have been particulary successful for outreach staff at the Center for Ecogenetics and Environmental Health (CEEH) at the University of Washington in Seattle. Creating a resource kit (Tox-in-a-Box TM ) to encourage environemntal health sciences professionals to conduct classroom visits has helped turn underutilized population into a powerful resource for K-12 transformation. The relatively new technology of multipoint videoconferencing also has been used to successfully involve both students and teachers in exploration of community-based issues related to the environmental health sciences.
有很多很好的理由将环境健康科学的基础知识,包括毒理学,纳入我们国家K-12课堂的教学主题中。除了得到各州和联邦政府授权的支持外,这些主题的教学本身也适合成功教育者的最佳实践,例如综合教学、探究式学习和社区连接学校。然而,最重要的是需要培养一支装备精良的公民队伍,以便在人类健康和环境相互交叉的地方解决所出现的问题;这些问题日益紧迫、争议和复杂。虽然编写课程材料和举办教师研讨会是改变K-12课堂的好方法,但还有其他方法可以创造性地影响我们国家学校的现状。其中两种方法对于位于西雅图的华盛顿大学生态遗传学和环境健康中心(CEEH)的外联工作人员来说特别成功。创建一个资源包(Tox-in-a-Box TM)以鼓励环境卫生科学专业人员进行课堂访问,有助于将未充分利用的人口转化为K-12转型的强大资源。多点视频会议这一相对较新的技术也被用来成功地使学生和教师参与探讨与环境健康科学有关的社区问题。

The Society of Toxicology (SOT) has demonstrated a strong commitment to K-12 science education through a number of initiatives. One of these is the development of "Paracelsus Goes to School" workshops for K-12 educators, named in honor of a founder of the discipline of toxicology. The Paracelsus workshop series has three major aims: to educate K-12 teachers about key principles, concepts and careers in the environmental health sciences field of toxicology; to provide K-12 teachers with content and classroom materials on toxicology and environmental health sciences subjects to help make basic sciences relevant to students' lives; and to establish links between SOT members mentors and K-12 educators. Paracelsus workshops have been offered annually since 1996 in conjunction with annual scientific meetings of the SOT. A total of 563 teachers have attended the six workshops held in major metropolitan areas throughout the United States Similar regional workshops have been offered by SOT regional affiliate chapters. This article discusses the motivation for developing the Paracelsus workshops, their implementation, and potential impact on K-12 science education.
毒理学学会(SOT)已经通过一系列举措展示了对K-12科学教育的坚定承诺。其中之一是为K-12教育工作者举办“巴拉塞尔士上学”讲习班,以毒理学学科创始人的名字命名。Paracelsus系列讲习班有三个主要目的:教育K-12教师了解毒理学环境健康科学领域的关键原则、概念和职业;为K-12教师提供毒理学和环境健康科学科目的内容和课堂材料,以帮助使基础科学与学生的生活息息相关;并在SOT成员、导师和K-12教育工作者之间建立联系。自1996年以来,帕拉塞尔苏斯讲习班每年与特别小组的年度科学会议一起举办。共有563名教师参加了在美国主要大都市地区举办的六次讲习班,类似的区域讲习班也由SOT区域附属分会提供。本文讨论了开发Paracelsus研讨会的动机,他们的实施,以及对K-12科学教育的潜在影响。

Headlines such as "Herbicide Spill Leaves Hundreds of Fish Dead in Creek", "Bacteria Foul School Air Forcing Four Rooms to Close" and "Schools Shut off Drinking Fountains: Excessive Levels of Lead Found in Schools" are being seen with increasing frequency in Oregon newspapers, as well as in news reports nationwide. Helping students understand the science behind these headlines has been the focus of an ongoing collaboration at Oregon State University between the Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) Center and the Science and Math Investigative Learning Experiences (SMILE) Program. This article will discuss this highly successful outreach effort employed by the EHS Center and the SMILE Program to increase the understanding of environmental health science by teachers, students, and community members. It also elaborates on the educational model developed and employed by the SMILE Program and then provides a specific example from the Hydroville Curriculum Project of how an environmental health science scenario fits within the context of SMILE Program pedagogy. Finally, this article comments on the successful elements of the EHS Center and SMILE Program partnership and opportunities for EHS Center investigators.

The Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) Center at Wayne State University (WSU) in Detroit Michigan, was established in 1993 to study the effects of environmental factors on human health. The EHS Center and its membership form a highly interactive multidisciplinary team of scientists and physicians from several hospitals and research facilities in and around WSU. Because of its diverse array of expertise, the EHS Center is in an optimal position to bring the knowledge of highly contemporary biomedical technologies to the K-12 educational community. The EHS Center has an extremely active Community Outreach and Education Program (COEP) that facilitates the transfer of environmental health information into benefical programs for the educational community. The COEP has offered several programs to the local five-country area around WSU for the past six years. Included in these offerings are a constructivist, inquiry-based hands-on curriculum for grades K-12 (Chemicals in My World TM ), a web-based multimedia interactive curriculum for grades 9-12 (Environmental Cyber Schoolhouse), Saturday Institutes for middle school students; and an apprenticeship program for upper level high school students and teachers. Evaluation of these programs has indicated that they have had significant success in providing venues for information on various environmental health-related topics and biomedical techniques. The COEP will continue to offer programs and opportunities in all areas of environmental health education for students in grades K-12 and for teacher professional development.
位于密歇根州底特律的韦恩州立大学(WSU)的环境健康科学中心(EHS)成立于1993年,目的是研究环境因素对人类健康的影响。EHS中心及其成员组成了一个高度互动的多学科团队,由来自华盛顿州立大学及其周边几家医院和研究机构的科学家和医生组成。由于其多样化的专业知识,EHS中心处于最佳位置,将高度现代化的生物医学技术知识带到K-12教育界。EHS中心有一个非常活跃的社区外展和教育计划(COEP),促进环境健康信息转化为教育社区的有益计划。在过去的六年里,COEP为华盛顿州立大学周围的当地五国地区提供了几个项目。这些课程包括:面向K-12年级的建构主义探究性实践课程(化学物质在我的世界TM),面向9-12年级的基于网络的多媒体互动课程(环境网络学校),面向中学生的周六研究所;以及针对高中高年级学生和教师的学徒计划。对这些方案的评估表明,它们在提供各种环境卫生相关主题和生物医学技术信息的场所方面取得了重大成功。COEP将继续为K-12年级的学生和教师的专业发展提供环境健康教育各个领域的方案和机会。

Critical Evaluation of Diazinon's Breast Cancer Risk 二嗪农乳腺癌风险的关键评价
Pub Date : 2002-01-01 DOI: 10.1080/08865140208629701

Abstract Diazinon is a widely used organophosphate insecticide. Non-agricultural use of diazinon exceeds its agricultural use, creating the potential for widespread non-occupational exposures. Although widely used, there has been no cancer risk classification for diazinon by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Toxicology Program (NTP) or International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). For this report, we have used a modification of the IARC approach to conduct a detailed evaluation of any direct or related evidence of cancer risk from exposure to diazinon, with a focus on breast cancer risk. We have critically evaluated all the available human, experimental animal, and cancer-related molecular and mechanistic studies on diazinon. Chemical and up-to-date regulatory information is included, as well as a discussion of diazinon's environmental fate and potential for human exposure. Evidence available so far does not indicate that diazinon increases breast cancer risk. It should be noted that this conclusion is based on the limited scientific evidence currently available. We have identified several research gaps in the report. We propose that diazinon be classified in Group 3. In the Program on Breast Cancer and Environmental Risk Factor's (BCERF) breast cancer risk classification scheme (see Appendix B), this group represents chemicals that are not classifiable for breast cancer risk in humans.
二嗪农是一种应用广泛的有机磷杀虫剂。二嗪农的非农业用途超过其农业用途,可能造成广泛的非职业接触。虽然被广泛使用,但美国环境保护署(EPA)、国家毒理学计划(NTP)或国际癌症研究机构(IARC)并没有对二嗪农进行癌症风险分类。在本报告中,我们对IARC的方法进行了修改,对暴露于二嗪农致癌风险的任何直接或相关证据进行了详细评估,重点是乳腺癌风险。我们严格评估了所有可用的人类、实验动物和癌症相关的重氮嗪农分子和机制研究。包括化学和最新的监管信息,以及对二嗪农的环境命运和人类接触的可能性的讨论。到目前为止,没有证据表明二嗪农会增加患乳腺癌的风险。应该指出的是,这一结论是基于目前有限的科学证据。我们在报告中发现了几个研究空白。我们建议将二嗪农归为第3族。在乳腺癌和环境风险因素项目(BCERF)的乳腺癌风险分类方案(见附录B)中,这一组代表了不能归类为人类乳腺癌风险的化学物质。

Non-agricultural use of diazinon exceeds its agricultural use, creating the potential for widespread non-occupational exposures. Although widely used, there has been no cancer risk classification for diazinon by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Toxicology Program (NTP) or International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). For this report, we have used a modification of the IARC approach to conduct a detailed evaluation of any direct or related evidence of cancer risk from exposure to diazinon, with a focus on breast cancer risk. We have critically evaluated all the available human, experimental animal, and cancer-related molecular and mechanistic studies on diazinon. Chemical and up-to-date regulatory information is included, as well as a discussion of diazinon's environmental fate and potential for human exposure. Evidence available so far does not indicate that diazinon increases breast cancer risk. It should be noted that this conclusion is based on the limited scientific evidence currently available. We have identified several research gaps in the report. We propose that diazinon be classified in Group 3.
