Extractions: Within the first couple of years of high school, I knew that I would like to be a scientist. My parents were encouraging: they gave me chemistry sets and a small microscope as presents. I liked to read popular books about scientists, although there were not many available at that time. My father subscribed to the Sunday New York Times, in which there was often a column on science that I found very exciting. During the four years that I was in high school, my older brother Arthur was at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I wanted to attend college there also, but that was not possible when I finished high school in 1933 because tuition for me, as an out-of-state resident, was more than my father could afford at that time. So I spent my freshman year at the University of South Carolina , where my tuition was much less. However, by the summer of 1934, my father moved his business from Orangeburg to Goldsboro, N.C., where he felt that the local economy was better. So now, as a resident of North Carolina, I was able to register at the University at Chapel Hill as a sophomore majoring in chemistry.

Extractions: Dr. Robert F. Furchgott SUNY Health Science Center at Brooklyn Dr. Furchgott was awarded the 1998 Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discoveries concerning "nitric oxide as a signaling molecule in the cardiovascular system." In 1980, Dr. Furchgott published his discovery of endothelium-derived relaxing factor (EDRF), a mysterious chemical in the inner linings of the arteries that controls the arterys widening and narrowing. Six years later, he identified EDRF as nitric oxide. Dr. Furchgotts findings opened up a new area of research, which is contributing much to our understanding of cardiovascular physiology and is helping doctors save lives.

Extractions: Robert F. Furchgott, Ph.D., one of three scientists to receive the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, was a member of the School of Medicine faculty more than 40 years ago. Formal presentation of the awards will take place Dec. 10 in Stockholm, Sweden. Furchgott, a pharmacologist at the State University of New York (SUNY), and two other Americans, Ferid Murad, M.D., and Louis J. Ignarro, Ph.D., received the prize earlier this month for their work concerning nitric oxide as a signaling molecule in the cardiovascular system. Furchgott came to the medical school in 1949 to work in the laboratory of world-renowned researcher Oliver H. Lowry, M.D., Ph.D., who was professor and head of the Department of Pharmacology. Furchgott previously had been an assistant professor of biochemistry at Cornell University. He joined the pharmacology department here as an assistant professor and was one of six faculty members in the 1950s. He was promoted to associate professor in 1952. He studied the effects of drugs on heart rate and rhythm, and, in particular, the action of drugs on the smooth muscle of blood vessels. F. Edmund Hunter, Jr., Ph.D., professor emeritus of pharmacology, recalled that Furchgott, now 82, was one of Lowry's first recruits after being named head of pharmacology.

Extractions: Lustman: Diabetes researcher School of Medicine investigators have found that a form of psychotherapy called cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for depression in patients with diabetes, restoring mental health and significantly improving control of blood sugar levels. Cognitive behavior therapy treats depression by involving patients in social and physical activities, teaching problem-solving skills to resolve stressful situations, identifying distorted thought patterns that lead to depression and replacing them with more positive and useful views. The researchers report the findings of this first-ever controlled trial of CBT in diabetes in the Oct. 15, 1998 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine. They found that a 10-week program of therapy helped relieve depression in the majority of patients with diabetes. In the months after CBT, these patients also achieved better control of their blood glucose levels. Click to see entire article Robert F.

Extractions: In 1998, Robert F. Furchgott was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine jointly with Louis Ignarro and Ferid Murad for their discoveries concerning "nitric oxide as a signalling molecule in the cardiovascular system." In 1980 Dr. Furchgott discovered a substance in the endothelium, a layer of cells at the innermost surface of blood vessels which causes the underlying smooth muscle to relax. He later discovered this was actually nitric oxide, a chemical that is a messenger molecule that mediates control of blood pressure, airway tone, gastrointestinal motility, penile erection, and in fighting cancer and infections. Furchgott's early interest in science was fostered by nature study classes and field trips to nearby beaches, marshes, and woods sponsored by the Charleston Museum. His parents encouraged his interest in science with gifts of a chemistry set and a small microscope. He was also inspired by the science columns he read in the Sunday

Furchgott, Louis J. Ignarro and Ferid Murad for their discoveries concerning "nitric oxide as a signaling molecule in the cardiovascular system." Ferid Murad, MD and pharmacologist, now in Houston, Texas, analyzed how nitroglycerin and related vasodilating compounds act and discovered in 1977 that they release nitric oxide, which relaxes smooth muscle cells. He was fascinated by the concept that a gas could regulate important cellular functions and speculated that endogenous factors such as hormones might also act through NO. However, there was no experimental evidence to support this idea at the time. Robert F. Furchgott

Extractions: Four Sigma Xi Members Receive 1998 Nobel Prizes Election to Sigma Xi has been an early milestone in many distinguished careers, the first professional honor many young scientists receive in recognition of their potential to make meaningful contributions to research. Many Sigma Xi members have gone on to win major awards. In the Society's history, more than 175 members have received the Nobel Prize. Four members joined this illustrious group in 1998. 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine Robert F. Furchgott and Louis J. Ignarro For their discoveries concerning nitric oxide as a signaling molecule in the cardiovascular system. Robert F. Furchgott , a pharmacologist at the State University of New York Health Science Center in Brooklyn, studied the effect of drugs on blood vessels but often achieved contradictory results. The same drug sometimes caused a contraction and at other times, a dilatation. Furchgott wondered if the variation could depend on whether the surface cells (the endothelium) inside the blood vessels were intact or damaged. In 1980, he demonstrated in an ingenious experiment that acetylcholine dilated blood vessels only if the endothelium was intact. He concluded that blood vessels are dilated because the endothelial cells produce an unknown signal molecule that makes vascular smooth muscle cells relax. He called this signal molecule EDRF, the endothelium-derived relaxing factor, and his findings led to a quest to identify the factor. He was elected to membership in Sigma Xi by the Northwestern University Chapter in 1939.

Extractions: for their discoveries concerning "nitric oxide (NO) as a signalling molecule in the cardiovascular system". NO has been proven to improve sexual performance in both men and women. Nitric oxide (NO) is a gas that transmits signals in the organism. Signal transmission by a gas that is produced by one cell, penetrates through membranes and regulates the function of another cell represents an entirely new principle for signalling in biological systems. The discoverers of NO as a signal molecule are awarded this year's Nobel Prize.

The $978,000 prize, awarded by Sweden's Karolinska Institute, is to be divided equally among Robert Furchgott of the State University of New York in Brooklyn; Louis Ignarro of the University of California-Los Angeles; and Ferid Murad of the University of Texas Medical School in Houston. Through collective research efforts, the trio discovered that the body uses nitric oxide a colorless gas long believed to be just a common air pollutant to regulate blood vessels. How the discovery was made In 1977, Murad, a Houston medical doctor and pharmacologist, discovered that nitroglycerin and other related compounds that dilate blood vessels release nitric oxide. The nitric oxide, or NO, relaxes smooth muscle cells, he found.
