SENTINEL & ENTERPRISE / BRETT CRAWFORD Jasmine Santiago, 15, a freshman at Fitchburg High School, reaches for a fruit cup during lunch on Friday.
While other areas are suffering school-lunch revenue losses due to new federal nutrition guidelines put in place at the beginning of this school year, local districts seem to be reporting only small decreases in lunch participation rates.
Jill Lucius, nutrition-services director for Sodexo-managed Fitchburg schools cafeterias, said Friday the district is experiencing about a 4 percent decline in lunch participation from last year.
In October 2011, 82 percent of the district's students bought lunch, while in October 2012, 78 percent did, she said. In February 2012, there was 81 percent participation, while this past February saw 77 percent, Lucius said.
These numbers, however, are skewed a bit by the district's high free- and reduced-lunch rate. This school year, about 71 percent of Fitchburg students qualified for free lunch, while 6 percent qualified for reduced lunch, according to the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.
When it comes to the remaining 23 percent that pay full price, however, that is where the district is seeing the sharpest decline in lunch participation.
"It's so obvious when you look at the numbers, that the paid category is where we're having a problem," Lucius said.
In October 2011, 60 percent of these students bought lunches, compared to only 43 percent in October 2012, she said. In February 2012, 56 percent bought lunch compared to 42 percent this past February, Lucius said. While there has been
Lucius believes Fitchburg is experiencing a smaller decline than other districts due to early implementation of the guidelines set forth by the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010. Students are, for the most part, well-accustomed to the healthier food, she said.
Lucius said there are many more factors affecting school-lunch participation

The enrichment of urea (in purple) around the protein favours its unfolding. Credit: M Candotti, IRB Barcelona
A study led by the professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the Faculty of Chemistry of the UB Modesto Orozco, and by Xavier Salvatella, from the Department of Biochemistry, both ICREA scientists at the Institute for Research in Biomedicine (IRB Barcelona), has devised a new strategy to study the shape of proteins.
According to Orozco, "by combining computational modeling and experimental physicochemical techniques, we have revealed the structures of proteins, which, until now, were unachievable because of technical barriers". Results have been published on the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
The research, carried out within the joint programme IRB Barcelona - Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) centres located at the BKC, represents an advance in protein structure research. Michela Candotti, the first author of of the paper, states that "to know the shape that proteins have is essential to perform any analysis. A wire can be a paperclip, a staple or a spring, depending how it is folded". This remark is especially relevant given the multi-functional nature of many proteins.
In the study researchers have been able to describe the chemical mechanisms by which compounds such as urea unfold proteins. "This was a debate that started in the 60s and now, with this work, it can be considered closed", explains Orozco. Furthermore, they have established a new strategy that will allow them to decipher the conformation of the Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (IDP). IDPs are a group of proteins without a rigid structure that comprise a large part of the proteome; however, little is known about them. "Our results will contribute to research into diseases that involve IDPs, such as cancer, Parkinson's or Alzheimer", affirms Salvatella. Finally, scientists have identified the first steps in protein folding, another aspect which is discussed at great lenght.

MONTE CARLO, Monaco--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
KYTHERA Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (KYTH) today announced positive interim results from a Phase IIIb, multicenter, open-label study (ATX-101-11-26) of ATX-101 during the Innovations and Renewals session of the 11th Anti-Aging Medicine World Congress (AMWC), April 4-6, Monte Carlo, Monaco. The study, presented by investigator Susan Weinkle, MD, FAAD, evaluated the safety and efficacy of ATX-101, a potential first-in-class, non-surgical, injectable drug in Phase III trials for the reduction of unwanted submental fat (SMF), commonly known as double chin. The results found that ATX-101 is well tolerated and may be effective in reducing SMF by both clinician- and patient-reported outcome measures. AMWC is the worlds largest event for global aging management, and attracts aesthetic dermatologists, surgeons and clinicians in the regenerative, preventative and anti-aging medicine industry from more than 95 countries.
The positive interim results are consistent with previous ATX-101 studies, said Weinkle, a board certified dermatologist and affiliate clinical professor at the University of South Florida, Tampa, Fla., U.S. Worldwide, doctors are receiving requests from their patients for a non-surgical way to treat their double chin. The results of this study suggest that microinjections of ATX-101 have an acceptable safety profile and can reduce the appearance of a double chin with high patient satisfaction.
ATX-101 is a proprietary formulation of synthetically-derived deoxycholic acid (DCA), a molecule found in the body that helps break down dietary fat. In this open-label Phase IIIb study, interim results three months after the last ATX-101 treatment are outlined below. Observations were made using validated rating instruments for which one-grade changes are considered to be clinically meaningful:
As previously announced, 71.3 percent of subjects had at least a one-grade improvement on the CR-SMFRS / PR-SMFRS composite and 14.0 percent had at least a two-grade improvement on the same composite measure.
These results are based on a multicenter, 12-month, open-label, Phase IIIb study conducted at 21 sites across the U.S., evaluating 165 adults who received injections of ATX-101 for up to six treatments at four-week intervals. Patients received ATX-101 (2 mg/cm2) by subcutaneous microinjections directly into their SMF, and were evaluated three months after their last treatment. The study population includes females (77.6 percent) and males (22.4 percent) with a mean age of 47, who report at least moderate SMF and dissatisfaction with the appearance of their chin. All Fitzpatrick Skin Types are represented.
We are encouraged by the interim Phase IIIb results of ATX-101, said Frederick Beddingfield, III, M.D., Ph.D., KYTHERAs chief medical officer. The results, along with additional data from our ATX-101 clinical development program, support the potential for ATX-101 to enter the market as the only U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drug for the reduction of double chin.
ATX-101 is the first pharmacological treatment for the reduction of submental fat to be investigated under a rigorous clinical development program with the goal of seeking regulatory approvals worldwide, specifically in the U.S., Canada and Europe. When injected, ATX-101 targets the fat cells, or adipocytes, and destroys and eliminates them.
The ATX-101 global clinical development program has enrolled more than 2,500 total patients, of which more than 1,500 have been treated with ATX-101.

The cassava, a food staple for Tanzanians, has recently been struck by a class of viruses called geminiviruses, causing famine across the country. However, N.C. State has been bringing aid to those suffering by aiding in the research effort.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation sponsored a grant to fund research. It awarded $9.4 million to the Mikocheni Agricultural Research Institute, which is funding international teams of researchers, including a team at N.C. State.
Cassavas are ideal for the Tanzanian ecosystem as they require very little water and can be grown year-round.
It is the sole crop grown by the majority of Tanzanian farmers, who practice monoculture. The people of Tanzania depend on it for survival and as a source of income.
There have been reports of problems with the cassava crops for at least the past ten years, but recently the threat became much more serious. There has been a recorded movement of the African cassava mosaic virus, one of the geminiviruses, from East Africa westward.
Geminiviruses are DNA viruses, which are rarer than their counterparts, RNA viruses, Niki Robertson, a professor of plant biology involved in the research, said. There are a multitude of new diseases appearing in plants due to geminiviruses.
For several years it was thought there was a line of cassavas resistant to geminiviruses. However, recently that resistance has been broken, which has resulted in countless plants going through root necrosis. The crops are rotting in the ground.
Therefore, researchers at N.C. State are looking into what makes certain cassava plants resistant and how the DNA viruses are breaking their resistance. To do this, the researchers are comparing certain genes in different lines of crops and identifying resistant breeding lines to pinpoint the allele responsible. Once researchers know where the crops resistance is breaking, they hope to be able to prevent it.
Robertson and her colleagues want to have the resistance gene mapped out within the next two years there are people who are in desperate need of results. Once resistance can be understood, the researchers hope to introduce it into cassava crops through breeding or genetic engineering.
Because of the fast pace of the research, researchers are in need of participation by N.C. State students, according to Trino Ascencio-Ibanez, an assistant professor in biochemistry who has been working with geminiviruses for many years.

While the pre-event meal is a key element to performance, fueling muscles and being well hydrated before exercise sessions will give Marc, Lauren and Anne the edge to train hard throughout the weeks leading up to Bayshore /upnorthlive.com photo
How often do you head out for your training run first thing in the morningbefore breakfast? Should you avoid eating before exercise if you are trying to lose weight? Does eating before exercise leave you feeling shaky, or with an upset stomach? While the pre-event meal is a key element to performance, fueling muscles and being well hydrated before exercise sessions will give Marc, Lauren and Anne the edge to train hard throughout the weeks leading up to Bayshore. Experimenting with food and drinks during training will also help them determine the best timing and tolerance for pre-exercise and pre-race foods.
Goals of nutrition before exercise include:
Fueling your brain, as well as your muscles, gives you mental stamina and focus to optimize training. While your body uses a greater share of fat for fuel while exercising in a fasted state (8 hours since your last meal) compared to doing the same workout after a carb-rich meal or snack, studies show that people are able to exercise harder and for a longer period when they consume carbs before exercise; training without pre-exercise fuel leads to decreased performance and early fatigue.
Overall, being able to exercise longer, at a higher intensity, will result in greater energy use (more calories burned), which is needed to cause fat loss. Consider the goals of your session to decide whether to eat or not before exercise. If your primary goal is to improve performance, have something to eat before exercise. If your primary goal is weight loss, as long as you will do the same amount of exercise (burn the same amount of calories, but over a longer time/distance), it is ok save your meal until after the session.
When to eat
Food eaten before exercise is only useful once it has been digested and absorbed. What and how much you eat affect how quickly you digest and absorb food. This means you need to time your meals and snacks so that the fuel is available during your exercise session. A general guide is to have a meal about 3-4 hours before exercise or a lighter snack about 1-2 hours before exercise. That said, its not always practical to eat a meal 3-4 hours before exercise. If any of the Three Amigos train early in the morning, they should choose a light snack about an hour before, even if it means getting up just a little earlier. For example, a glass of milk or juice and then some fruit or a cereal bar on the way to training can top off fuel stores. If scheduled for their long training run, Marc and Lauren can make up for their smaller carbohydrate intake prior to exercise by drinking a sports beverage during the event or training session.
