Society of Toxicology 2012 Scientific Featured Sessions The Thematic Track information can be found on pages 8–9. Special Symposium Meet the Directors Wednesday, March 14, 9:00 AM–11:45 AM Chairperson(s): William Slikker Jr., US FDA, Jefferson, AR, and Lois D. Lehman-McKeeman, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Princeton, NJ. Each year this unique session provides an opportunity for the leaders of agencies to provide an overview of their organizations scientific directions, funding opportunities, and scientific concepts/achievements. This year, our panel of experts from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), National Institute of Environmental Health Science (NIEHS), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the European Chemical Agency (ECHA) will provide information of interest to the SOT membership during their individual talks. We hope you’ll join them as they deliver the most recent updates related to important issues that have an impact on toxicology. Award Lectures Merit Award Lecture Title to Be Announced Monday, March 12, 12:30 PM–1:20 PM Lecturer: Curtis D. Klaassen, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, KS. Leading Edge in Basic Science Award Lecture Title to Be Announced Tuesday, March 13, 7:00 AM–7:50 AM Lecturer: Myung-Haing Cho, Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea. Distinguished Toxicology Scholar Award Lecture Environmental Chemicals: From Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology to Education and Outreach Tuesday, March 13, 12:30 PM–1:20 PM Lecturer: Ernest Hodgson, North Carolina State University, and the North Carolina Agromedicine Institute, Raleigh, NC. Knowledge of modes of toxic action and risk analysis are approaching the point where systems biology will be essential for understanding. Human environments are also complex, from pristine ecosystems to those contaminated by human activities such as the agroecosystem, industrial workplaces, military deployments and home environments. Each environment has numerous variants that overlap within and between categories and the exposome concept may also become essential. The speaker has been fortunate to be involved in a number of these aspects and as Distinguished Thematic Session 64 SOT’s 51 st Annual Meeting
51 st Annual Meeting and ToxExpo The Thematic Track information can be found on pages 8–9. Featured Sessions Scientific Toxicology Scholar has an opportunity to discuss their past, present, and future. Successes, failures and disappointments include such items as the mechanism of action of benzodioxole synergists, aryl hydrocarbon receptor(AhR)-independent induction of cyp1a2, human metabolism of agrochemicals, metabolic interactions, and agromedicine. Our studies have identified environmental chemicals that interact in humans based on induction, on enzyme inhibition by organophosphorus toxicants of both exogenous substrate and steroid hormone metabolism and on activation of naphthalene metabolism. Microarray studies of the effect of chlorpyrifos on gene expression in human hepatocytes identified regulated genes and characterized the affected biological pathways. Translational Impact Award Lecture Medical Toxicology Evaluations of the 2008 TVA Fly Ash Spill Wednesday, March 14, 12:30 PM–1:20 PM Lecturer: John G. Benitez, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN. At approximately 1:00 am on 22 of December 2008, the retaining dike broke at the TVA Kingston Fossil Plant, releasing more than 5.4 million cubic yards of coal ash onto TVA property, private property and the Emory River. The ash flow filled several sloughs with ash debris and embankment material. The communities surrounding the spill site had an additional concern regarding health risks because of living next to the site, ash on their property, the emergency response, and planned remediation efforts. Through partnership with the Oak Ridge Associated Universities and the Tennessee Poison Center, residents living in the vicinity of the Kingston TVA plant had medical evaluations by a medical toxicologist including a history and physical exam, routine laboratory evaluations, pulmonary function testing, chest radiographs, and blood and urine metal evaluations. Three hundred twenty participants signed up initially; 200 were seen by the medical toxicologist. One hundred ninety-eight of these had blood and urine testing, 208 had chest radiographs, and 194 had pulmonary function tests. Many participants had ear, nose, throat, and pulmonary complaints. No pattern of heavy metal exposure, abnormal blood testing, pulmonary function testing, and chest radiographs were found. SOT/EUROTOX Debate Comparative Hazards: Chemicals in the Environment Are the Largest Risk to Human Health Monday, March 12, 4:30 PM–5:50 PM Chairperson(s): Lois D. Lehman-McKeeman, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, Princeton, NJ, and Ruth A. Roberts, AstraZeneca UK, Macclesfield, United Kingdom. SOT Debater: Stephen Safe, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX. EUROTOX Debater: David R. Bell, European Chemicals Agency, Helsinki, Finland. Endorsed by: Society of Toxicology (SOT) European Societies of Toxicology (EUROTOX) Each year the SOT Annual Meeting includes a debate that continues a tradition that originated in the early 1990s in which leading toxicologists advocate opposing sides of an issue of great toxicological importance. This year, our debaters will address the proposition: Comparative Hazards: Chemicals in the Environment Are the Largest Risk to Human Health Chemicals have been introduced into the environment through a variety of industrial and agricultural processes. They are measured in the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. Although there are many chemicals that serve to improve the quality of life, there are also unintended hazards that are associated with their use. This debate is intended to focus on chemicals in the environment as the largest risk to human health, particularly when compared to other potential health hazards. Regardless of framework differences and personal convictions, each scientific delegate will present relevant evidence and compelling scientific arguments to persuade and appeal to the response of the audience in order to obtain the approval or refusal of the motion. In addition to being a featured session at the SOT Annual Meeting, this debate will again take place in Stockholm, Sweden during the 2012 Eurotox Annual Congress, June 17–20. up-to-date information at www.toxicology.org 65 Thematic Session
