International Conference on Tobacco Induced Diseases

描述(由申请人提供)： 烟草使用仍然是早期死亡和发病的主要可预防原因。全球每年都会有大约500万人死于与烟草有关的疾病。在美国，五分之一的死亡与吸烟有关。吸烟的有害影响包括癌症、心脏病、呼吸系统疾病、糖尿病、产科并发症、牙周炎、伤口愈合受损，事实上，几乎所有的慢性疾病都会因吸烟而恶化。二手烟烟雾已被几个国家和国际机构列为致癌物质，并增加了几种疾病的风险，如呼吸道疾病。肯塔基州是世界上烟草使用率和烟草相关疾病最高的州之一，也是烟草的主要生产国。在最近关于烟草税和防止在公共场所吸烟的辩论时代，在路易斯维尔举行的这次国际会议是及时和切题的，将讨论烟草引起的疾病和状况的多个方面，包括病理机制和预防战略。 科学会议： 流行病学：1.问题的严重性；2.中国日益严重的流行病；3.预防的政治；4.接触二手烟 一般致病机制：5.有毒物质和代谢损伤；6.无烟烟草产生的活性氧；7.成瘾的药理学 具体疾病相关机制：8.肺癌；9.慢性阻塞性肺疾病；10.糖尿病-胰腺功能障碍动物模型；11.牙周炎；12.心脏病；13.妊娠并发症；14.婴儿猝死综合征(婴儿猝死)；15.出生缺陷 治疗：15.癌症/外源生物基因多态性的分子生物学；16.戒烟技术；17.减少危害；18.成瘾治疗；19.成功率；20.瑞典鼻烟比吸烟更健康？ 海报会议

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Tobacco use remains the major preventable cause of early mortality and morbidity. In any one year around 5 million people globally will die of tobacco related diseases. One in five deaths in the U.S. is smoking related. Detrimental effects of smoking include cancer, heart disease, respiratory diseases, diabetes, obstetric complications, periodontitis, impaired wound healing and indeed almost all chronic conditions are worsened by smoking. Second-hand tobacco smoke has been classified as carcinogenic by several national and international agencies and increases the risk of several diseases such as respiratory conditions. Kentucky has one of the highest rates of tobacco use and tobacco related diseases worldwide and is also a major producer of tobacco. In the recent era of debate on tobacco taxes and prevention of smoking in public places, this international conference in Louisville is timely and germane and will address the multiple aspects of tobacco-induced diseases and conditions, including pathologic mechanisms and prevention strategies. Scientific Sessions: Epidemiology: 1. Magnitude of the problem; 2. The growing pandemic in China; 3. Politics of prevention; 4. Secondhand smoke exposure General pathogenic mechanisms: 5. Toxic substances and metabolic damage; 6. Reactive oxygen species production from smokeless tobacco; 7. Pharmacology of addiction Specific Disease Related Mechanisms: 8. Lung cancer; 9. COPD; 10. Diabetes - animal models of pancreatic dysfunction; 11. Periodontitis;12. Heart disease;13. Pregnancy complications; 14. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (Cot Death); 15. Birth Defects Treatment: 15. Molecular biology of cancer/xenobiotics gene polymorphisms; 16. Cessation Techniques; 17. Harm Reduction; 18. Addiction therapy; 19. Rates of success; 20. Swedish snuff is healthier than tobacco smoking? Poster Session
