Breast milk: Physiology, Biochemistry and Outcomes

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请的目的是请求NIH赞助2006年9月国际母乳和哺乳研究学会会议。会议主题是母乳：生理学，生物化学和结果，将在加拿大安大略湖上的尼亚加拉举行。我们预计将有来自美国和世界各地的约240名代表参加。本次会议本质上是跨学科的，是唯一一次学术，工业和公共卫生科学家参与母乳研究的会议，以交流研究思想，分享该领域的进展，并在建设性的，以科学为重点的环境中计划新的研究工作。需要赞助的目的有几个，但特别是协助受邀教师的旅费，并使我们能够为年轻的研究人员和来自不太富裕的国家，特别是非洲和亚洲的代表提供旅费。本次会议的目标是：1）提供一个论坛，基础科学家，临床医生，流行病学家和政策制定者可以交流有关母乳和哺乳的最新发现和研究方法; 2）审查有关母乳喂养对婴儿和母亲健康的短期和长期影响的最新数据; 3）讨论母乳中内源性和外源性因子的表达，包括营养素、免疫因子、毒素、药物和其他因子以及这种表达的遗传调控2006年9月，国际母乳和哺乳研究学会（ISRHML）将主办一次跨学科研究会议，题为“母乳：生理学、生物化学和结果”。“会议将讨论母乳的各种生化和生理方面，以及母乳成分如何影响婴儿健康结果，包括生长，骨矿化，肠道发育，认知发育和免疫力。会议的科学内容涵盖各种主题，包括早期产后营养的表观遗传效应，母乳成分对免疫功能和发育的影响，母乳中的有毒成分和新生儿肠道中的基因表达。我们的演讲者是该领域最受国际认可的科学家。与所有以前的ISRHML会议一样，我们将在这次一年两次的会议之后出版一本书。最近，Kluwer学术/Plenum出版社，纽约，出版了作为实验医学和生物学进展系列的一部分的会议记录。这些出版物的清单可在本协会的网站（www.isrhml.org.umu.se）上查阅。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this application is to request NIH sponsorship of the September 2006 conference of the International Society for Research in Human Milk and Lactation. The conference theme is Breast Milk: Physiology, Biochemistry and Outcomes and will be held in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada. We anticipate about 240 delegates from the U.S. and around the world. This conference is inherently interdisciplinary, and is the only meeting of its kind in which academic, industry, and public health scientists engaged in human milk research meet to exchange research ideas, share advancements in the field, and plan new research endeavors in a constructive, scientifically focused environment. Sponsorship is required for several purposes but especially to assist with travel costs for the invited faculty and to enable us to offer travel funds for young investigators and for delegates from less affluent countries, especially in Africa and Asia. The objectives of this conference are to: 1) Provide a forum in which basic scientists, clinicians, epidemiologists and policy makers can exchange the latest findings and research methods pertaining to human milk and lactation; 2) Review state-of-the-art data regarding the short and long-term effects of breastfeeding on infant and maternal health; 3) Discuss expression of endogenous and exogenous factors in human milk, including nutrients, immunologic factors, toxins, drugs, and other factors and the genetic regulation of such expression In September 2006, the International Society for Research in Human Milk and Lactation (ISRHML) will host an interdisciplinary research conference, entitled, "Breast milk: Physiology, Biochemistry and Outcomes." The conference will address various biochemical and physiological aspects of human milk and how human milk constituents may affect infant health outcomes, including growth, bone mineralization, intestinal development, cognitive development, and immunity. The scientific content of the conference spans a variety of topics, including the epigenetic effects of early postnatal nutrition, the effect of human milk components on immune function and development, and toxic components in human milk and gene expression in the neonatal intestine. Our speakers are some of the most internationally recognized scientists in the field. As with all previous ISRHML conferences, we will produce a book following this biannual meeting. Most recently Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers, New York, have published the proceedings as part of the Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology series. A list of these publications is found on our society's website (www.isrhml.org.umu.se).
