In connection with the anniversary of the Kazan University, the Department of Social Hygiene undertook the work "History of the Department of Hygiene of the Kazan University for 125 years." Placed in this issue Kaz. med zhurn. "article" The first hygienist of the Kazan department Fyodor Kalaydovich "is the beginning of this work. In connection with the same anniversary, the Department of Social Hygiene turned to the medical press with a letter "To the old doctors of Kazan" (see No. I, K.M.Zh., 1929) with a request to deliver material to the history of the medical faculty of Kazan University. that (memories, works, photographs, etc.). This appeal is primarily directed to hygienists, sanitary doctors and community physicians. The department notes with satisfaction that responses to this appeal have begun to arrive.

This article will stretch the boundaries of the interdisciplinary lens to consider the history of and current potential for the arts to enhance, advance, and amplify individual, family, and community social change goals of the social work profession. To begin, consider the following questions: What would inspire artists and social workers to intentionally work together to reveal new strengths, energy, and capacity in the areas we care about? What do the arts have to teach the profession of social work and vice versa? How have the arts already played a role in the profession, and what has impaired social work’s ability to make greater use of the strengths associated with the arts? How have other professions (public health, psychology, education, and others) incorporated partnerships with the arts? This article concludes with a call to action to advance the potential of the arts in coordination with social work and related disciplines.

To determine whether the contractile work history of cardiac muscle influences its responsiveness to insulin, we examined the effect of insulin infusion on glycogen metabolism in the rat heart 1 wk after transplantation into a nonworking heterotopic infrarenal position. Nonworking heterografts had higher basal glycogen concentrations than did in situ working hearts of the same animals (29.9 +/- 2.7 vs. 23.3 +/- 0.8 mumol/g; P < 0.05), and a smaller fraction of their glycogen synthase enzyme activity was in the physiologically active glycogen synthase I form (8 +/- 2 vs. 22 +/- 3%; P < 0.02). During a 25-min infusion of insulin (1 U/min) and glucose (30 mg.kg-1.min-1), the fractional glycogen synthase I activity of heterografts remained lower than that of in situ hearts (29 +/- 5 vs. 56 +/- 7%; P < 0.02) and heterografts synthesized glycogen more slowly (0.126 +/- 0.07 vs. 0.352 +/- 0.06 mumol.g-1.min-1; P < 0.02). These effects could be duplicated by a 24-h fast, which similarly increased myocardial glycogen concentration (to 32.9 +/- 5.6 mumol/g). These observations suggest that the performance of repetitive contractile work is necessary to maintain the myocardium maximally responsive to insulin. Mechanical unloading increases myocardial glycogen concentration, thereby reducing the magnitude of insulin's stimulation of glycogen synthase and consequently the rate of incorporation of circulating glucose into glycogen.

There are many ways to approach the history of the welfare state, and one's understanding of the subject depends to a large degree on the path one takes and the questions that are asked along the way. This paper will take as its point of entry the social programs created to prosecute the war on tuberculosis and infant mortality in Germany from the turn of the last century through the 1920s, specifically the work of the tuberculosis welfare and infant welfare centers (Tuberkulose- and Säuglingsfürsorgestellen). Preventive social hygiene or medical relief programs (Gesundheitsfürsorge) to combat tuberculosis and infant mortality are central to the history of public health not only because of their role in the epidemiological transition in Germany and other western countries. These programs also have a much broader relevance because the refiguring of the rights and duties of citizenship entailed by the preventive project raises a set of questions concerning the relation between preventive social hygiene, individual freedom and well-being, and modernity that are paradigmatic for understanding the modern welfare state.
