Heme Oxygenase 2005 -- the 4th International Conference

描述(由申请人提供)： 本申请申请资助将于2005年10月5日至8日举行的“2005年血红素加氧酶--第四届国际会议”。会议将在马萨诸塞州波士顿的公园广场酒店举行。这家酒店广泛用于会议，设施一流，包括为残疾人提供的所有设施。会议日期为2005年10月6日至9日。主体部分的参与者是活跃在该领域的研究人员(医学博士、博士和学生)。然而，鉴于我们将展开宣传，我们预计对HO-1产品可能应用于临床问题感兴趣的个人也将参加。目前没有参与血红素加氧酶研究的科学家和内科医生也有望找到感兴趣的会议。与会者来自世界各地，涉及生物医学和生物研究，除美国外，还包括澳大利亚、中国、日本、台湾、韩国、英国、法国、意大利、德国、荷兰、波兰、印度等。 本次会议的目的是为交流和整合关于分子和细胞生物学以及该领域正在审议的临床前和拟议的临床方案的新信息提供一种格式。拟议中的会议将汇集来自不同学科的基础科学家，介绍和讨论关于血红素加氧酶和血红素加氧酶降解血红素的产物：一氧化碳、Fe++和胆绿素的最新信息。这次会议将一如既往地对这些物质的性质和功能以及临床应用的途径进行国际研究，起到重大的推动作用。 会议的重点将是血红素加氧酶在心脏、血管、肺和其他器官系统中的参与以及器官移植。内容提要：血红素加氧酶系统对维持体内的正常状态很重要。它可以防止身体的某些反应，如炎症，变得过于强烈和具有破坏性。该系统的这些部分可能会对治疗各种人类疾病有用。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests funds to provide support for "Heme Oxygenase 2005 - the 4th International Conference" to be held from October 5-8, 2005. The conference will be held at the Park Plaza Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts. This hotel is widely used for conferences and has excellent facilities, including all facilities for disabled persons. The conference dates are October 6-9, 2005. The participants for the main part are investigators (MDs, PhDs, and students) active in the field. However, given publicity we will mount, we expect that individuals interested in the possible application of the products of HO-1 to clinical problems will also attend. Scientists and physicians currently not involved in investigations in heme oxygenase will hopefully also find the conference of interest. The attendees are from all parts of the world involved in biomedical and biological research including, in addition to the United States, Australia, China, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, England, France, Italy, Germany, Holland, Poland, India and others. The objective of this meeting is to provide a format for the exchange and integration of new information on the molecular and cell biology as well as pre-clinical and proposed clinical protocols being considered in the field. The proposed meeting will bring together basic scientists from a variety of disciplines to present and discuss the most recent information on heme oxygenase and the products of the degradation of heme by heme oxygenases: carbon monoxide (CO), Fe++ and biliverdin. This Conference will, as it has in the past, act as a major stimulus for international research into the nature and function of these substances and to the path to clinical application. The focus of the meeting will be on the involvement of the heme oxygenases in the cardiac, vascular, pulmonary and other organ systems as well as on organ transplantation. Lay Summary: The heme oxygenase system is important in maintaining normalcy in the body. It prevents certain responses of the body, like inflammation, from becoming too strong and becoming destructive. The parts of the system will likely be useful to treat a wide variety of human disorders.
