Alumnus Profile: George C. Peck, ’53 32 Physician and TrailblazerIt was student research conducted alongside the late Frank Figge, MD, at Maryland that inspired George C. Peck, ’53, to forge his own path in medicine. After a stellar career in plastic surgery where he gained world-wide recognition in rhinoplasty, Peck is now improving the quality of life for those living in nursing homes and extended living facilities. And he never forgot Maryland.

Alumnus Profile: Leonardo Vieira, ’99 34 Mission Beyond MedicineLeonardo Vieira, ’99, and wife Guiga, a graduate of Maryland’s school of social work, had a plan to one day perform mission work. But the rigors of a busy practice and raising children seemed to place their plans on the back burner. Their world changed in January 2010 when an earthquake struck Haiti. And it hasn’t been the same since.

Medicine Bulletin Fall 2012 [2]

orty one years ago this December, U.S. President Richard Nixon signed the National Cancer Act of 1971, marking the official beginning of the “War On Cancer.” More than four decades later, this war still rages on, with almost 600,000 Americans dying of the disease each year.

Fortunately, today, we know much more about cancer than we did in the 1970s, as science recently has begun providing us with an amazingly detailed understanding of this disease at the cellular and molecular levels. For example, this past summer, scientists working under the auspices of the massive Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project, one outgrowth of the Human Genome Project, reported that the so-called “junk DNA” making up 98 percent of the human genome is not junk at all. Rather, it contains important signals for regulating our genes and determin-ing disease risk, including whether we are prone to getting cancer and how cancers initiate, grow, and proliferate. Although it will likely take some time before these new findings can be developed into useful therapies, many experts agree that these stunning and unexpected results will greatly improve our chances for preventing and treating a variety of cancers. Thus, we now have a much more powerful armamentarium in our war against this dreaded disease than we had just a few years ago.

This issue of the Bulletin includes a profile of Angela Brodie, PhD, a cancer researcher at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, who already has contributed greatly to our anti-cancer armamentarium. Dr. Brodie is best known for her groundbreaking work in developing aromatase inhibitors, a new class of breast cancer drugs proven to be effective treatments for hormone-sensitive breast cancers in postmenopausal women. Studies have shown that aromatase inhibitors are particu-larly effective in treating advanced breast cancer. She and her collaborators currently are studying strategies to optimize the efficacy of these agents by “personalizing” the timing and dosage of aroma-tase inhibitors based on a patient’s tumor biopsy. They also are working to adapt the same approaches to treating prostate cancer, which, like breast cancer, is a hormone-dependent cancer. Prostate cancer affects nearly a quarter-of-a-million men in the U.S. each year and kills approximately 30,000.

In addition to Dr. Brodie’s efforts to combat prostate cancer, the medical school, in partnership with Advanced Particle Therapy LLC, is bringing one of the newest and most advanced prostate cancer weapons to the Baltimore region. This past summer, we broke ground on a proton therapy center, representing the next-generation of treatment for prostate cancer as well as many other local-

ized cancers. Protons, unlike x-rays, can be better targeted to localized tumors with far fewer side effects. The proton therapy center also will be a major hub of research involving investigations into which cancer patients will most benefit from this exciting new therapy.

Dr. Brodie’s work as well as that of the proton therapy center, un-doubtedly, will be made easier by the results of the ENCODE project and other ongoing human genome project offshoots. We are learn-ing that more personalized approaches to cancer therapy based on insight into the molecular biology of specific cancers, as well as recent developments in gene sequencing and molecular diagnostics, are sig-nificantly improving outcomes. These recent developments and new cancer-fighting tools provide us with hope that the “War On Cancer” finally will be won in the foreseeable future.

Medicine Bulletin Fall 2012 [4 ]

Maryland researchers have identified 26 species of bacte-ria in the human gut microbiota that appear to be linked to obesity and related metabolic complications. These in-clude insulin resistance, high blood sugar levels, increased blood pressure and high cholesterol, known collectively as “the metabolic syndrome” which significantly increases an individual’s risk of developing diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and stroke.

The results of the study, analyzing data from the Old Order Amish in Lancaster County, Pa., were published online on Aug. 15, 2012, in PLoS One, published by the Public Library of Science. The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

“We identified 26 species of bacteria that were corre-lated with obesity and metabolic syndrome traits such as body mass index (BMI), triglycerides, cholesterol, glucose levels and C-reactive protein, a marker for inflamma-tion,” says the senior author, Claire M. Fraser, PhD, a professor in the departments of medicine and microbiol-ogy & immunology and director of the University of Maryland Institute for Genome Sciences (IGS). “We can’t infer cause and effect, but it’s an important step forward that we’re starting to identify bacteria that are correlated with clinical parameters, suggesting that the gut microbiota could one day be targeted with medica-tion, diet or lifestyle changes.”

Fraser says that additional research, including an interventional study with the Amish, is essential. “We can look at whether these bacteria change over time in a given individual or in response to diet or medication,” she says.

She notes that the research team, led by the late Margaret L. Zupancic, PhD, then a postdoctoral fellow at IGS, also found an apparent link between the gut bac-teria and inflammation, which is believed to be a factor in obesity and many other chronic diseases. “This is one

of the first studies of obesity in humans to make a link between inflammatory processes and specific organisms that are present in the GI tract,” Fraser says, noting that participants with metabolic syndrome who had elevated serum markers associated with inflammation tended to have the lowest levels of good bacteria that have been reported previously to have anti-inflammatory properties.

The study is the result of an ongoing collaboration between Fraser and Alan R. Shuldiner, MD, in connec-tion with the NIH Human Microbiome Project which seeks to characterize microbial communities in the body. Shuldiner, the John L. Whitehurst Professor of Medicine, associate dean for personalized medicine, and director of the program in personalized and genomic medicine, operates an Amish research clinic in Lancaster. Over the past 20 years, he and his research team have conducted more than a dozen studies with the Amish, looking for genes that may cause common diseases such as diabetes, osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease.

“The Old Order Amish are ideal for such studies because they are a genetically homogenous population descended from a few founder families and have a similar rural lifestyle,” Shuldiner says. “We believe the results of this study are relevant to a broader population because the clinical characteristics of obesity and its complications in the Amish are no different from the general Caucasian popu-lation,” he says.

Researchers analyzed bacteria in fecal samples of 310 members of the Old Order Amish community, using a process that enables them to identify a marker gene that serves as a bar code for each type of bacteria. Participants in the study ranged from lean to overweight to obese; some of the obese participants also had features of the metabolic syndrome. “Our hypothesis was that we would see a different composition in the gut microbiota in lean vs. obese individuals and possibly in individuals who were obese but also had features of the metabolic syndrome.”

They discovered that every individual possessed one of three different communities of interacting bacteria, each characterized by a dominant bacterial genus. Neither BMI nor any metabolic syndrome trait was specifically

The University of Mary-land Baltimore Health Sciences and Human Services Library recently completed a project digitizing its entire inventory of historical thesis statements from medical school graduates of the 19th century. The collection includes 174 bound volumes of student papers dating from the early 1800s through 1887 when Maryland formally dropped the requirement.

In a historical sketch of the university pub-lished in 1907, author Eugene F. Cordell, class of 1868, describes the existence of these papers:

“Both the charter of the College of Medicine and that of the University prescribe the writing and publica-tion of a thesis as a condition of graduation…the first requirement continued in operation until quite a recent period; the latter was carried out until 1817…the unprinted theses have recently been deposited in the Library; they have not been assorted as yet, and it is not known whether they are complete or not.”

Some of the earliest students wrote their theses in Latin; however, that practice eventually gave way to composing in English. The requirement stipulated that a student choose to write his thesis on some self-selected topic or a description of several case studies which he had observed. Many of the works are actual transcrip-tions of the students themselves, although some exhibit elaborate penmanship suggesting transcription by a

trained scribe. In all cases, though, they are wonderful snapshots bringing to life the mind set and character of Maryland’s early medical students as well as the evolution and progress of their instruction.

Over the past decade, both the library and Medical Alumni As-sociation have noticed a spike in inquiries relating to genealogy. “The availability of these original materials now viewable on the web is an added bonus in our ability to provide such

historical institutional details to so many people,” says Richard J. Behles, historical librarian/preservation officer for the university. “These papers personify the history of our institution by the very students who lived and helped create it,” he adds.

Arrangements through a national library consortium allow digitized versions of the material to reside in a source known as the Internet Archive, located at http://archive.org/. Typing in the search phrase “University of Maryland Theses” leads to the full listing. In addi-tion, the library also maintains its own digital archive, retrievable through the usual Web search engines at http://archive.hshsl.umaryland.edu/handle/10713/687. In addition to the collection of theses, the archive maintains backfile volumes of the Bulletin magazine at http://archive.hshsl.umaryland.edu/handle/10713/135. Issues of the Bulletin are also available through the Internet Archive.

associated with any of these communities. Instead, differing levels of 26 less abundant bacterial species present in all individuals appeared to be linked to obesity and certain features of the metabolic syndrome.

Interestingly, researchers also analyzed people’s gut bacteria by their occupation and found that those who had regular contact with livestock, such as farmers and

their wives, had bacterial communities dominated by Prevotella, a type of bacteria that is also abundant in the gut microbiota of cattle and sheep. “These findings suggest that environmental exposure may play a role in determining the composition of the gut microbiota in humans,” Fraser adds.

George T. Fantry, MD, was named assistant dean for stu-dent affairs, education and re-search in the offices of student affairs and student research. He oversees a comprehensive restructuring of the office of student research, allowing the school to remain responsive to an increasing demand for stu-dent research, education, and

training. Over the past few years, more than 75 percent of the freshman class has sought individual assistance in the office of student research in pursuit of research placement and funding. Fantry earned his medical degree from the State University of New York Upstate Medical Center in 1984, followed by internship, residency, and a fellowship in gastroenterology in the department of medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. He joined Maryland in 1990, rising to his current rank of associ-ate professor in 1997. Fantry will continue working as a member of the office of student affairs where he counsels and mentors medical students and writes their perfor-mance evaluations.

James S. Gammie, MD, professor of Surgery, was ap-pointed chief of the division of cardiac surgery. He will guide the division in five areas of sub-specialization including: heart and lung transplantation and mechanical circulatory support, heart valve disease, coronary disease, pediatric and adult congenital disease, and

arrhythmias. His charge includes collaborating with the division of cardiology within the heart center to improve patient outcomes through hybrid procedures involving cardiologists and cardiac surgeons working together in the operating room. As division chief he oversees one of the only integrated cardiothoracic training programs in the country, providing a focused training experience in cardiothoracic surgery. He has served on Maryland’s faculty since 2006.

Sheri Slezak, MD, professor of surgery, was named the new chief of the division of plastic and reconstructive surgery. A member of Maryland’s faculty since 1989, Slezak is renowned for her work in breast recon-struction and is one of only a handful of women who have risen to be plastic surgery division chiefs in the country.

A passionate teacher and mentor who considers profes-sional cultivation an important part of her job as division chief, Slezak will continue to lead the division in basic and clinical research, including studying the role of stem cells from fat as soft tissue fillers. Reconstructive surgery includes a total of six faculty physicians. Slezak will con-tinue to lead this expanding team in performing plastic and reconstructive surgeries across a variety of special-ties in patients who have had cancer treatment, burns, congenital defects, and trauma.

Zeljko Vujaskovic, MD, PhD, was appointed professor and director of the new divi-sion of translational radiation sciences in the department of radiation oncology. The division is bringing together the department’s basic science research activities in radiation biology. Vujaskovic joined Maryland from his previous

position as professor, director of the normal tissue injury laboratory, and director of the clinical hyperthermia program at Duke University Medical Center. His clinical and research work for the past two decades has been to elucidate the mechanisms associated with radiation nor-mal tissue injury, identify potential biomarkers predict-ing individual patient risk for injury, and develop novel therapeutic interventions/strategies to prevent, mitigate, or treat radiation injury. He is a nationally and interna-tionally recognized leader in the field of radiation related normal tissue injury.

Aromatase Inhibitors

B y R i t a M . R o o n e y


She should know. Brodie’s major scientific awards recognize her development of aromatase inhibitors in the treatment of breast cancer as among the most important contributions to cancer cure. She has received the Kettering Prize from the General Motors Cancer Research Foundation, awarded for the most important recent basic science cancer research. In addition, she is recipient of the Dorothy P. Landon ACCR Prize for groundbreaking translational cancer research. Most recently, she received the prestigious Pharmacia Award of the American Society for Experimental Therapy.

Brodie’s development of aromatase inhibitors took place during the 1970s and early 1980s, but the aromatase story has a sequel—one that chronicles continuing new achievement. Brodie has teamed with a phy-sician–scientist who is accelerating the impact of inhibitors on breast cancer surgery, and she is further collaborating with a researcher and together they are applying a similar strategy to prostate cancer therapy.

John A. Olson Jr., MD, PhD, Campbell and Jeanette Plugge Professor of Surgery, was recently recruited to Maryland as vice chair, department of surgery and chief of the division of general and oncologic surgery. He reports that he was attracted to Maryland because of its impressive level of research as well as the presence of Brodie. Shortly after his arrival, the two began a collaboration exploring the merits of using inhibitors in conjunction with surgery.

Vincent C.O. Njar, PhD, professor of medicinal chemistry and phar-macology, and head of the medicinal chemistry section of the center for biomolecular therapeutics, has been collaborating with Brodie for several years on developing androgen synthesis inhibitors to treat prostate cancer. Their work, which is meeting with considerable success, has been predicated on the premise that, if aromatase drugs are effective for breast cancer, the same concept might well apply to the development of inhibitors for prostate cancer. Their lead inhibitor (VN/124–1) is now in clinical trials.

Aromatase is an enzyme that makes estrogen, a hormone that is a growth factor in most breast cancers. Brodie began with the idea of developing inhibitors to the enzyme which in turn would reduce the production of estrogen. Initially, she and her husband, now a retired

Angela Brodie, PhD, can be contacted at [email protected]

Admitting to the inevitable roadblocks within scientific discovery, Angela Brodie, PhD, professor of pharmacology, counters with a smile that scientists don’t expect overnight success.“Identifying inhibitors that work

well in the test tube is a long way from seeing their effective use in the clinic,” Brodie says.

Aromatase Inhibitors The Discovery That Keeps on Giving

organic chemist and National Institutes of Health (NIH) administrator, were working on estrogen synthesis inhibitors as related to women’s reproductive issues. She saw the pos-sibilities for these inhibitors of estrogen synthesis as treat-ment for breast cancer, however, and changed the direction of her work.

“When I first started research, little was known about estrogen production or how it acted, she says. “The only

course of treatment for breast cancer was surgery to remove the sources of estrogen, and it seemed to me there just had to be a better way.”

While the Brodie laboratory was developing aromatase inhibitors, pharmaceutical companies were conducting clinical trials of tamoxifen, the drug that became the first in the non–surgical arsenal against breast cancer. While it is responsible for significant strides in the treatment of the disease, tamoxifen is slightly estrogenic and binds to the receptor, blocking its action. It also can lead to stroke and endometrial cancer. Brodie believed that inhibiting the estrogen would not have the same side effects. Today, aro-matase inhibitors are the first line of defense against breast cancer, due to their effectiveness and the absence of serious complications associated with chemotherapy and the earlier tamoxifen.

During the early years of her research, Brodie served a fellowship at Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biol-ogy sponsored by the NIH. A few years later, Njar was at the same foundation for post-doctoral work. While they worked at Worcester during different times and never met there, Njar was aware of Brodie’s research. In 1994, while working on a fellowship sponsored by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Germany, he began looking for a target for prostate cancer and decided that if aromatase drugs were effective for breast cancer, the same approach might be used to target the androgen involved in prostate cancer. He contacted Brodie who was already working on developing androgen synthesis inhibitors for prostate cancer. Brodie invited him to join her team. Njar came to Maryland on a grant secured by her laboratory. He joined the faculty in 1999, and formed his own lab, with the purpose of develop-ing compounds that would inhibit the androgen synthesis and block the receptor. He and Brodie have since pooled their respective expertise toward this aim.


Brodie adds that the androgens are produced not only by the testes, but in other tissue in the body including the adrenals and prostate tumor itself. Earlier treatment did not block all pathways, and so their purpose was to develop a compound that would block both the androgen receptor and androgen synthesis.

“The whole idea was developed from aromatase inhibi-tors,” Njar says. “The same rationale applies if you consider

the targets—aromatase and the various prostate targets. While not the same en-zyme, the mechanism of how they work is the same.”

In collaboration, Njar and Brodie developed several compounds they believed to be as effective as prostate sur-gery. In surgery, removing the testes cuts down the production of andro-gens. Animal studies indicated

comparable results with several of the compounds. But the colleagues weren’t satisfied with an “as good as” determination. They began to explore whether compounds could be developed that would exceed the limitations of the radical surgical procedure then prescribed for prostate cancer.

After developing several compounds, the research-ers came up with a lead compound VN/124–1 and were able to publish results of their mouse studies to show more effective results than the ablative surgery usually performed. Soon after, Tokai Pharmaceuticals undertook drug development and clinical trials of the compound renamed TOK–001 or Galeterone began. Outcome from the Phase 1 trials were extremely posi-tive. Normally Phase 1 defines safety only, and Phase 2 effectiveness. But this trial was used with patient volunteers, leading to exceptionally promising results in terms of effectiveness. In fact, on the basis of the results, Galeterone has received Fast Track Designa-tion from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the potential treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRCP). A larger Phase 2B trial is expected to begin before the end of the year. While the researchers are highly encouraged by these results, it is the constant nature of the scientist to continue probing. Right now, Njar says he is focused on questioning what it is about this compound that makes it so much more effective than all the others developed by the research team.

The recent collaboration between Brodie and Olson might be called the perfect pairing of scientific interests. Her current primary study concerns those women who eventually develop a resistance to the inhibitors. Hormonal therapy is preferred for the 70 percent of women who respond posi-tively. Patients can take it daily for a number of years in

Receptors that classify a patient’s sensitivity or re-sistance to aromatase inhibitors can be identified from biopsy tissue. If the tumor has estrogen receptors, the treatment is recommended. If it doesn’t, chemotherapy is given. However, among the majority of those who will ben-efit from inhibitors, some will later become resistant.

contrast to chemotherapy in which the extent of treatments is limited.

“This makes it important to discover the mechanism by which some patients become resistant to the inhibitors,” Brodie says. “When we know that, then we can work on finding a way to convert them back to becoming re–sensi-tized to the treatment.”

She explains that receptors that classify a patient’s sensi-tivity or resistance to aromatase inhibitors can be identified from biopsy tissue. If the tumor has estrogen receptors, the treatment is recommended. If it doesn’t, chemotherapy is given. However, among the majority of those who will ben-efit from inhibitors, some will later become resistant.

“We’re now looking at patients who would never respond to the treatment, as well as those who later become resistant to it,” Brodie says.

Olson, who most recently held the position of chief of endocrine, breast and oncologic surgery at Duke University Medical Center, was familiar with tumor shrinkage through aromatase inhibitors prior to surgery, and was impressed with the results. At the time, it was more popular to use chemotherapy for pre-operative reduction of the tumor.

“To oncologists, it comes down to matching the right drug to the right tumor,” Olson says. “Chemotherapy is a good option for women with certain kinds of tumors. How-ever, it is well known that women with the estrogen recep-tor may respond much better to the hormonal treatment.”

Brodie and Olson are now beginning to combine their considerable backgrounds in surgery and research. Olson has done extensive work in obtaining samples from tumors both


during biopsy and tumor removal for the purpose of ensuring that the integrity of the sample is good, and therefore the molecular analysis is accurate

“Understanding why tumors respond to certain therapies begins with understanding the biology of the tumor from patient tumor samples,” Olson says. “High quality samples are needed for research in order to determine why some tumors don’t respond well to aromatase inhibitors.” He has developed a device to assist with the proper collection of sampling during biopsy as well as surgery. He emphasizes that assumptions about tissue samples and how they are procured can lead to less than a strictly accurate molecular profile of the sample.

Brodie reports Olson’s work will be enormously helpful to her studies in that until now, patients for aromatase treat-ment were selected on the sole basis of excised tissue.

“Now we can examine tissue following biopsy and diag-nosis, after pre–operative treatment and following surgery,” she says. “For many years, it was assumed that whatever was in the tumor at the start of growth would be the same during recurrence. We now believe it has probably changed considerably, but until recently, we haven’t had the tissue to determine that.”

Olson says he, like Brodie, is interested in knowing why women who are expected to respond to aromatase inhibitors don’t.

“We’re going to try to see if we can get those tumors that express a little of the estrogen receptor to express more so that it becomes increasingly responsive,” he says.. “We also think that, depending on how a small tumor shrinks, we may be able to take less tissue, and thereby reduce the num-ber of repeat surgeries. Prior treatment enhances the ability to get the entire tumor, even with small tumors.”

Looking back, Brodie recalls that she wasn’t ever discour-aged in her pursuit of an effective non-surgical treatment for breast cancer. She was funded by the NIH throughout her studies, but there were times when she felt little encour-agement either. Mostly, she remembers the difficulty in getting her research through clinical development. Then she delivered a paper in Rome describing her research. A British oncologist attending the meeting became interested and approached her regarding the potential for getting her discovery into the clinic. Brodie wound up synthesizing aromatase inhibitors at Maryland and shipping them to London where they were prescribed for a number of women with advanced breast cancer. Results were remarkable; so much so that, armed with clinical evidence, Novartis (then Ciba-Geigy) undertook clinical trials. That was only the start of the aromatase story. Continuing chapters report the drug’s impact on the discovery of hormonal treatment for prostate cancer, and important collaboration between the Departments of Pharmacology and Surgery. And the words “the end” are far from being written.

a hygienic point of view” if Baltimore City’s ordinance were extended with the force of a statute covering the entire Free State.

How did this crusade for spittle-free steps, streets, and cars arise? By the 1890s, a full generation had come of age since Louis Pasteur and Joseph Lister—both born in the 1820s—had published their initial findings on the germ theory of disease and the advantages of aseptic technique during surgery. The first successful “Pasteurization” was conducted in 1862; Lister’s ground-breaking article for The British Medical Journal, “Antiseptic Principle of the Practice of Surgery” was published in August of 1867. In that article, Lister stated:

“The first object must be the destruction of any septic germs which may have been introduced into the wounds, either at the moment of the accident or during the time which has since elapsed.”

Changes in any sort of scientific practice do not come about overnight, yet by the 1890s “destruction of any septic germs” became the basis not only for repairing com-pound fractures, as Lister had done so successfully, but also for public-health campaigns such as that against spitting.

These efforts were magnified by the increasing presence of scientifically-trained doctors in positions carrying legal and political responsibility. One expert of that era, Dr. Elmer B. Borland, was able to announce that, by the year 1900, “the entire Board of Health of San Francisco is composed of physicians” and that even a “mil-lionaire” in California had been forced to pay a fine of $25 and serve one day in jail for public expectoration. Borland’s collected findings about the anti-spitting campaign were reported

Expectorations of Impropriety


On January 22, 1897, a local reporter for the Baltimore Sun wrote:

“The crusade against the offensive habit of expectorat-ing in public places, especially in street cars, begun some time ago in Baltimore, has extended, and society women of St. Louis, MO, are talking of forming an organization to put down the habit… Each member is to be constituted a committee to look out for offenders. When she catches a culprit, she is to remind him of the great impropriety of his conduct.”

In March of the following year, the Sun was able to announce:

“The Anti-Spitting Ordinance, which was signed Thursday by Mayor [William] Malster, will be read before the patrolmen at the various station houses this morning and the men will be instructed to watch for violations of the new law…. It shall not be lawful for any person to expectorate upon the floor of any streetcar or public conveyance, or of any public building within the city of Baltimore, under penalty for each and every offence of a fine of $1.”

A few years after that, in February of 1902, the Sun reported on activities in the state capital by a lobbyist for the railways’ association:

“President Webb, of United Rail-ways, heartily approved of the bill introduced at Annapolis by Mr. Straus to prohibit spitting on the floors of railway cars in Maryland, both from the standpoint of cleanliness and of consid-eration for the public health.”

This same Sun article referred as well to “medical men [who have] expressed themselves as favoring the bill, because, they assert, it would be decidedly con-ducive to the welfare of the people from

Charles H. Jones, MD, public health commissioner

for Baltimore, 1898


in no less prestigious a publication than the Journal of the American Medical Association (vol. 35, 1900; 999-1001).

At the University of Maryland, its own professor of hygiene and public health, Charles H. Jones, MD, was made public health commissioner for Baltimore in 1898—the very year when that city’s first anti-spitting ordinance was passed. The dean who was appointed in 1897, Charles Wellman Mitchell, MD, was an expert in pathogenesis and a member of the class of 1881— crucially, over a decade af-ter Pasteur and Lister’s findings had first been disseminated if not immediately accepted. Just one year after Mitchell earned his medical degree, Robert Koch was able to an-nounce to a scientific meeting in Berlin his discovery of the tuberculosis bacillus. The next generation of specialists in the treatment of TB would become particularly outspo-ken in efforts to end public expectoration.

The campaign continued into a new century, but the spitting habit died hard. By 1903, anti-spitting ordinances had come into effect in the District of Columbia, Chicago, Cleveland, New Orleans and many other cities. In Raleigh, N.C., although a city ordinance was passed by 1901, a “Special Dispatch” to the Sun in January of that year an-nounced that:

“The members of the [North Carolina] Legislature are great spitters, and, no doubt, arrests of some of them will be made.”

In October of 1906, Dr. James Akehurst wrote to the Sun that Baltimore’s ordinance was “not enforced as it should be” and that, when he got onto a Linden Avenue street car one day, he found only one seat “under which the floor was not bespattered with tobacco or with dangerous and sight-sickening pus.” In the following year, the police chief of Richmond, VA, one day sent out 125 officers in an anti-expectorant sweep. They were enforcing a new state law there, a previous municipal ordinance having failed to result in effective prosecution.

And yet it was in America’s greatest metropolis that the most dramatic stories would arise. One night in February of 1909, the New York Times reported on a mass round-up of spitters organized by that city’s sanitary superintendent. Nearly 200 miscreants were arrested in just one night, most of them—including a dentist—on the Broadway Bridge subway or along elevated railway platforms. Smokers and tobacco-chewers had to pay as much as $2 each, although a defendant who complained of having a cold had merely to cough up 50 cents.

Author Wayne Millan has been working behind the scenes of Maryland’s historical CPC for more than a decade. A teacher and historian, he entered the world of on-line learning two years ago, teach-ing an intensive class in Classical Latin through the George Washington University.

One offender, a clerk named Leo Kahn, got a severe scolding from a family member as well as the judge. Kahn did not have the money for his fine and so had to send a note to his sister, Jessie Kahn, from his cell in the court-house known as “The Tombs.” Ms. Kahn came there promptly and paid Leo’s fine. Her verbal reaction was all the stronger, however, for her being an active member of the Anti-Tuberculosis Society, the members of which had pow-erful arguments for preventing the release of spittle into public places. “I am very sorry you did not fine him more” she said to the presiding magistrate. “Only a child should be excused for spitting in public places.”

“…. It shall not be lawful for any person to expectorate upon the floor of any streetcar or public conveyance, or of any public building within the city of Baltimore, under penalty for each and every offence of a fine of $1.”

FIRMLY HEADED toward a clinical career as plastic surgeon, one that would lead to groundbreaking treatment and a worldwide reputa-tion, George C. Peck, ’53, nevertheless found himself drawn to student research in the laboratory of the late Frank Figge, MD. He refers to his medical school work with Figge as the grounding that spearheaded his future and cemented a lifelong commitment to Maryland.

Peck remembers working on a project involving the concentration of a drug in the lymphatic system. At the conclusion of the project, Figge asked him to write the paper and present the findings at a medi-cal meeting at Ohio State University.

“I was nervous but thrilled by the opportunity,” he says. “While I was reviewing what I had written, Figge grabbed the paper and tore it up. He told me I had been working on the project for a year. I shouldn’t need to read from a paper. Then he handed me an index card and said that was all the reference I would require.”


Physician and Trailblazer

George C. Peck, ’53

“I developed my research thinking in Frank Figge’s laboratory and that has carried over to every aspect of my pro-fessional life,” Peck says. “It defined my interests and gave me the confidence to pursue new directions in my chosen specialty. It’s really a source of joy to know I can help other students gain the same experience.”

Frank Figge, MD

Not only was Peck’s first experience addressing a medical meeting successful, but in a lifetime of lectures and teaching to worldwide audiences, he has never since had to use more than an index card.

“When Dr. Figge died, I wrote to his wife to tell her the impact he had, not only on my education but on my life,” Peck says. “Everything I accomplished in my professional career started with him.”

Following residencies in surgery, plastic surgery, and head & neck surgery, Peck trained with a well known plastic surgeon to further his expertise in rhinoplasty. In those days, rhinoplasty was limited to reduction procedures to correct a deformity in a nose. Aesthetic surgery to change and improve appearance was still in the future. He soon realized he had a better way to perform rhinoplasty, one that would improve results. In 1965, he presented his findings to the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, and from there recognition of his work grew. Before long he was lectur-ing and teaching throughout Europe, Asia, and South America. Meanwhile, he opened a private practice in New Jersey and served as clinical professor at Columbia University for 25 years.

Early in the 1970s, Peck decided that reduction rhinoplasty, which was the only kind being performed at the time, could be advanced by the addition of augmentation. He developed a successful technique using autogenous cartilage to better shape the tip of the nose—a discovery that has contributed considerably to the choices within aesthetic rhinoplasty. Peck has au-thored hundreds of articles plus a three-part book series covering reduction and aesthetic rhinoplasty as well as the issue of treating problem cases.

Never faint-hearted in the pursuit of advancing his work, Peck decided to open a surgery center in New Jersey where the operation of such facilities was illegal.

“I hired a lawyer and sued the State,” he says. “And I won. I opened the first surgery center in New Jersey, and it is still thriving.”

A past president of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Peck met his wife Catherine while in medical school. She was a counseling student on the University of Maryland College Park campus. They have a daughter, Deborah, who is an attorney and two sons, George C. Peck Jr., ’83 and Richard Peck MD, both of whom are plastic surgeons. The Pecks’ granddaughter, Catherine, an undergraduate at Notre Dame, followed family tradition to Maryland this sum-

mer with research studies. When it came time for Peck to make a decision about his long-held loyalty to the medical school, he opted for it to become a family affair through the Peck Family Foundation. The foundation has created the Peck Family Basic Research Scholars’ Endowment Fund, with a minimum of $50,000 annu-ally in perpetuity. The endowment is to benefit students pursuing basic research in the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology or the Department of Physiology.

“I developed my research thinking in Frank Figge’s laboratory and that has carried over to every aspect of my professional life,” Peck says. “It defined my interests and gave me the confidence to pursue new directions in my chosen specialty. It’s really a source of joy to know I can help other students gain the same experience.”

Peck retired from the active practice of medicine several years ago, but only to pursue a new career. With a growing concern that patients in nursing homes were not always given the best care, he has built both state-of-the-art nursing homes and assisted living facilities in Florida and New Jersey, plus a home for patients with dementia in Florida. From the exterior architecture to comforts within, Peck has personally directed every phase of development and management. Well-appointed areas including recreation rooms, libraries, and chapel are complemented by Peck’s own touches such as an old fashioned ice cream parlor, and a kitchen where resi-dents can bake cookies or resurrect an old family recipe. Possibly the component that reflects Peck’s involvement more than any other is the working relationship he has developed with local universities for the rotation of nurs-ing and physical therapy students at the facilities.

His business interests are far-flung. He owns an indoor tennis club, apartment buildings, even a public airport in New Jersey which sees a steady flow of flights, and where he, as a licensed instrument-rated pilot, can be found piloting his own plane.

In the Spring of 2013, Peck will join classmates for their 60th reunion. Looking back, he says he thoroughly enjoyed his medical school years as well as the years since then.

“I’ve been fortunate to have had a career in which my research in both reconstructive and aesthetic plastic sur-gery was recognized,” he says. “I’ve enjoyed it all, includ-ing my later business activities. The nursing home and assisted living facilities are a real opportunity for me, as a physician, to implement the kind of nursing and general living care people should have in their later years.”

Leonardo Vieira, ’99

Mission Beyond Medicine

Leonardo Vieira and wife Guiga (Ana) Riberio with Haitian patient

SOMEWHERE IN A REMOTE PART OF HAITI, a child plays at being a child. A few years ago, when that same child was two, he lay stricken by severe dehydration and diarrhea, without proper medical care. When the all-volunteer group, People for Haiti, reached him, he was within 12 hours of dying.

“We gave him necessary IV fluids, fed him, guarded him, nurtured him,” reports Leonardo Vieira, ’99. “Two volunteers stayed by his side throughout the night. Their vigilance was as intense as it would have been with their own children. Twenty-four hours later, he was a smiling, healthy toddler. These are the kind of powerful moments that stay with us forever.”

Vieira had his first taste of mission work while a family practice resident at Florida Hospital, Orlando. He did three rotations in Honduras, Guatemala, and the Dominican Republic, deciding he wanted to spend part of his career caring for the indigent in underdeveloped countries.

In the meantime, however, he had met his future wife, Guiga (Ana) Riberio, while he was in medical school, and she was a student at Maryland’s school of social work. They were married after their mutual graduations in 1999, and pledged together that they would find a way to perform mission work. Then came the birth of a son and daughter and busy professional careers—his as a family practice specialist in Tampa. In other words, life kept happening until that fateful date in January 2010 when the world itself was rocked by a devastating earthquake in Haiti.

“Suddenly I knew I had to get there,” Vieira says. “I had to find some way to help.”


Getting there wasn’t as easy as one might think. Major relief organizations had mobilized quickly and were moving ahead with aid. They had no room for additional volunteers in those early days. Vieira connected with a friend who had adopted a Haitian child and had ties to an orphanage in Bercy, 30 minutes north of Port-Au-Prince. Along with two other doctors and a nurse, he hired a private plane, collected medical and antiseptic supplies, and took a circuitous route to a remote part of Haiti and the orphanage where 50 children savaged by the earthquake were housed. It was the beginning of an ongoing relationship with the orphanage, and the birth of People for Haiti, the organization founded by Vieira and his wife that continues to bring much needed medical care to Haiti through several missions each year.

The health needs of the people of Haiti would extend far beyond any reconstruction following the earthquake. Real-izing this, Vieira began to put in place the seeds of People for Haiti even before his return to the U.S. With the head of the orphanage as an important liaison, he established contacts who could help him secure interpreters and safe lodging for volunteers.

He returned home and with the help of his wife, founded an organization that encompassed the dream of service both of them had long cherished. About a month later, he and Guiga returned with a group of 12 volunteers including doc-tors, nurses and physical therapists.

“Guiga is the brains and heart of People for Haiti,” he says. “She is a relentless organizer who makes it all happen.” He adds that she has made only a few trips with him to Haiti when grandparents took care of their children. Oth-erwise, she is the force back home who leads efforts from fund-raising to the solicitation of medical supplies.

Today, the organization has more than 100 volunteers who include doctors, nurses, lawyers, accountants, college students, homemakers, contractors, artists and others, young and old. The group truly earns the name “volunteer.” Mem-bers assume responsibility for their own costs including air and ground transportation, housing, security, and food.

Mission volunteers serve in a clinic for residents in the area surrounding the orphanage, then travel to rural clinics, possibly set on a mountain top or other inaccessible location where patients may walk 12 hours to be seen by a physi-cian or nurse. Many volunteers have been on several of the

13 missions organized since 2010, bringing with them not only a spirit of volunteerism but tested experience. They may work in a triage area, the pharmacy, or directly with patients.

Explaining the depth of the contributions made by the group, Vieira says they care for 1200 to 1500 patients in a week’s time. They encounter malaria, cholera, severe cases

of diarrhea, and almost every example of disease.

The missions in Haiti, as well as the supportive efforts or-ganized by Guiga back home, have resulted in thousands of Haitians

getting much needed medical care and thousands of doses of medicine brought to the country. The group has raised sev-eral thousand dollars for supplies including tents to house displaced persons, and funds to purchase a complete water filtration system, providing clean, safe drinking water for an entire community.

“It seems that every trip, we save a few lives,” Vieira says “One time it was a child with meningitis.” Then he adds, “Mostly, I think we give them hope that they are not forgotten.”

Vieira is quick to praise the corps of volunteers who give so generously of their time and resources. There even are a few unemployed people due to the economic downturn who choose to spend otherwise unproductive weeks in Haiti, rather than focus on their own problems. Clearly, however, it is Vieira’s driven pursuit of helping those who cannot help themselves that holds People for Haiti together. His enthu-siasm is the resilient kind that empowers others.

“There is a great deal of joy that comes from what Guiga and I are doing,” he says. “For me, the greatest source of that joy comes from seeing how this experience changes the lives of our volunteers.” He explains that it is impossible to live among these people for a week, to see how poorly they exist, and not be touched by it.

“The experience enriches all of us,” he concludes.


“It seems that every trip, we save a few lives,” Vieira says “One time it was a child with meningitis.” Then he adds, “Mostly,

I think we give them hope that they are not forgotten.”

next 12 years he held elevating de-velopment positions at Georgetown, University of Maryland, and through 2010 as assistant vice chancellor for medical alumni and development at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. In early 2011, DeFilippis returned to Maryland as special assistant to the dean and, since November, as acting associate dean for development.

In his new role he is directing the school’s current capital campaign “Transforming Medicine Beyond Imagination,” to achieve its $500 million goal in its final three years. He is also leading fund raising for the Health Sciences Facility III Biomedical Research Building, a planned facility that will add much-needed laboratory and office space to the campus.

“I am humbled and honored to be selected for this very important post at the school” says DeFilippis. “My passion for this institution runs very deep, and it is my plan to build a devel-opment program that

compliments the explosive growth and tremendous success experienced more broadly by the school, especially in recent years. Obviously, the over-arching goal is to secure ever-increas-ing levels of private support to reward our exceptional faculty members and talented medical students. In order to do that, we will need to strengthen existing relationships with alumni, friends, faculty, and staff and cultivate new relationships with influential and affluent individuals who wish to ensure that our institution maintains its outstanding reputation.”

On July 12, Brian J. DeFilippis, MS, was appointed associate dean for development and chief develop-ment officer for the medical school. In this role he oversees the entire development staff and is charged with broadening the school’s donor base, strengthening relationships with existing donors, and identifying areas of need within the institution by working closely with department chairs and the directors of programs, institutes and centers.

DeFilippis has considerable fund- raising experience. He joined the Maryland campus in 1999 as an as-sistant director at the University of Maryland Medical System. Over the

axpayers’ reluctance to provide outright gifts of financial assets that may result in their loss of income, enjoyment and the control over a resource intended to be the inheri-tance for their children and grandchildren is understand-able. However, the tandem utilization of two traditional wealth planning techniques, a Wealth Replacement Trust (WRT) and a Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT), may help allow a taxpayer to reduce their tax liability, to fulfill their philanthropic objectives and to preserve an inheri-tance intended to benefit their family.

The execution of this wealth planning strategy is com-plex, but relatively straightforward. The taxpayer estab-lishes a CRT, designates a qualified charity of choice and then transfers the assets to be donated to the CRT. Often, highly appreciated or low-yielding assets are transferred to the CRT, which enables the donor to avoid the capital gains taxes that may have been otherwise due, and the do-nor receives a current income tax deduction based on the value of the charity’s remainder interest in the assets. In exchange for the assets transferred, the donor receives an income stream for life or for a term not to exceed twenty years. The WRT is established, and it purchases a life in-surance policy on the life of the donor. The donor uses the income stream received from the CRT, in whole or in part, to make annual gifts to the WRT, which then pays the life insurance policy premiums. At the donor’s death, the re-maining CRT assets revert to the designated charity for the charity’s use and the donor’s heirs receive the life insurance proceeds as distributed by the WRT; these proceeds replace the assets that were previously transferred to the CRT and provided to the charity. Since the life insurance is held in an irrevocable trust, the death benefit will pass free of estate taxes, and it will be distributed in accordance with the provisions of the trust directives.

There are a variety of considerations associated with the utilization of the WRT-CRT strategy, and it is prudent to determine whether the donor is insurable before embarking upon the WRT-CRT strategy. The cost and the availabili-ty of life insurance depend on a variety of factors, including age, health, the type of insurance acquired and the amount of coverage implemented. There are other costs associated with insurance, including mortality and expense charges, and if a policy is prematurely surrendered, there may be additional charges and related tax implications. In some cases, the use of a survivorship life insurance policy within

Tthe WRT structure may mitigate the insurability and cost issues to a degree. The income stream from the irrevo-cable CRT cannot be less than five percent or more than fifty percent of the initial net fair market value of the CRT assets. In addition, the charity’s actuarial interest value must be at least ten percent of the fair market value of the assets transferred into the trust.

By combining a WRT and a CRT, it may be possible for a family’s financial legacy to be preserved, financial assets to be provided to a charity, a current income stream to be created and tax benefits to be realized. The use of irrevocable trusts in-volves a complex set of tax rules and legal regulations, and if you are considering the WRT-CRT strategy, you should seek guidance from qualified tax, legal and wealth planning professionals.

Managing wealthWealth Replacement Trusts: Addressing Your Philanthropic and Family Legacy Aspirations

A look back at America’s fifth oldest medical school and its illustrious alumni

115 Years Ago

In November 1812 a medical building, located on Lombard and Greene streets, opened for instruction. The land was purchased from John Eager Howard for $8,887.50, and the building’s construction totaled just under $40,000. It contained two lecture halls, two small rooms for instruction, and a secretive dissecting lab. In 1958 the building would be designated Davidge Hall to honor the memory of the school’s first dean, John B. Davidge, MD.

In 1897, Charles W. Mitchell, class of 1881, was named dean. While at Maryland he served as professor of clinical medicine, materia medica, and diseases of children, and his expertise in pathogenesis attracted the best students to the medical school. Mitchell was dean until 1900. It was during his tenure that the school adopted a four-year curriculum.


200 Years Ago

20 Years AgoIn 1992, Philip A. Mackowiak, class of 1970 and professor of medicine at Maryland, demonstrated that the longtime standard for body temperature (98.6°F) was inaccurate. His research, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, showed that normal body temperature averages 98.2°F, can fluctuate during the day, and has variances in regard to age, gender, and race.
