Objective: To examine the association between anxious school refusal and truancy and psychiatric disorders in a community sample of children and adolescents using a descriptive rather than etiological definition of school refusal. Method: Data from eight annual waves of structured psychiatric interviews with 9to 16-year-olds and their parents from the Great Smoky Mountains Study were analyzed. Results: Pure anxious school refusal was associated with depression (odds ratio [OR] = 13, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.4, 42) and separation anxiety disorder (OR = 8.7, 95% CI 4.1, 19). Pure truancy was associated with oppositional defiant disorder (OR = 2.2, 95% CI 1.2, 4.2), conduct disorder (OR = 7.4, 95% CI 3.9, 14), and depression (OR = 2.6, 95% CI 1.2, 56). Of mixed school refusers (children with both anxious school refusal and truancy), 88.2% had a psychiatric disorder. They had increased rates of both emotional and behavior disorders. Specific fears, sleep difficulties, somatic complaints, difficulties in peer relationships, and adverse psychosocial variables had different associations with the three types of school refusal. Conclusions: Anxious school refusal and truancy are distinct but not mutually exclusive and are significantly associated with psychopathology, as well as adverse experiences at home and school. Implications of these findings for assessment, identification, and intervention for school refusal are discussed. J. Am. Acad. Child Adolesc. Psychiatry, 2003, 42(7):797–807.

Role of the pseudosubstrate sequence in smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase thermal stability.

Smooth muscle myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) is stable in the presence of Ca2+/calmodulin and does not undergo inactivation as reported for skeletal muscle MLCK (Kennelly, P.J., Starovasnik, M.A., Edelman, A.M., and Krebs, E.G. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 1742-1749). The 61-kDa tryptic fragment of smMLCK-(283-779) with the pseudosubstrate/calmodulin binding sequence deleted undergoes rapid ina...
