The Summary of Notifiable Diseases--United States, 2006 contains the official statistics, in tabular and graphic form, for the reported occurrence of nationally notifiable infectious diseases in the United States for 2006. Unless otherwise noted, the data are final totals for 2006 reported as of June 30, 2007. These statistics are collected and compiled from reports sent by state and territorial health departments to the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System (NNDSS), which is operated by CDC in collaboration with the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE). The Summary is available at http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/summary.html. This site also includes publications from previous years.

KCNE1 (IsK, minK) co-assembles with KCNQ1 (KvLQT1) to form voltage-dependent K(+) channels. Both KCNQ1 and KCNE1 are expressed in epithelial cells of gut and exocrine pancreas. We examined the role of KCNQ1/KCNE1 in Cl(-) secretion in small and large intestine and exocrine pancreas using the KCNE1 knockout mouse. Immunofluorescence revealed a similar basolateral localization of KCNQ1 in jejunum and colon of KCNE1 wild-type and knockout mice. Electrogenic Cl(-) secretion in the colon was not affected by gene disruption of KCNE1; in jejunum forskolin-induced short-circuit current was some 40% smaller but without being significantly different. Inhibition of KCNQ1 channels by 293B (IC(50) 1 micromol l(-1)) and by IKS224 (IC(50) 14 nmol l(-1)) strongly diminished intestinal Cl(-) secretion. In exocrine pancreas of wild-type mice, KCNQ1 was predominantly located at the basolateral membrane. In KCNE1 knockout mice, however, the basolateral staining was less pronounced and the distribution of secretory granules was irregular. A slowly activating and 293B-sensitive K(+) current was activated via cholinergic stimulation in pancreatic acinar cells of wild-type mice. In KCNE1 knockout mice this K(+) current was strongly reduced. In conclusion intestinal Cl(-) secretion is independent from KCNE1 but requires KCNQ1. In mouse pancreatic acini KCNQ1 probably co-assembled with KCNE1 leads to a voltage-dependent K(+) current that might be of importance for electrolyte and enzyme secretion.

\"A Sovereign People\" explores the importance of the autonomy of Shawnee bands in the context of politics, power, and property from 1650 to 1870. During this time, the Shawnee diaspora forced village-based bands to scatter throughout eastern North America. These Native groups operated as independent sovereign entities in dealing with the challenges generated by imperial competition, Euro-American settlement, and looming revolution. After the Indian Removal Act, the bands faced pressures to create unified responses. Yet, throughout the disruptive and destructive processes that dispossessed the Natives in Kansas, the Shawnee bands preserved the desire for sovereignty that had always enabled their survival.
