Dr. Michael J. Busuito (WSU/GS/PS 1981/85/87) has added a new assignment to
his very busy weekly routine. Following the completion of his plastic surgical
training, Dr. Busuito developed a very busy plastic surgical practice in addition to
contributing to the plastic surgery programs around Southeast Michigan. He has
been a long-standing attending in the Department of Plastic Surgery at WSU and
served as the Chief of the Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in 1993
and 1994 when the department was in a period of transition. Prior to that, he
served as the Vice-Chief of this division from 1990-1993. Subsequently, Dr.
Busuito has been the Chief of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery at St. John Hospital to this present time. He also has been the Chairman of the Beaumont Ambulatory Surgical Center from 2009 to the present time. In addition to these many responsibilities in Southeast Michigan, Dr. Busuito has been on the front lines in
terms of doing missionary work as he takes the critical members of his hospital
staff to Third-World countries to provide various types of reconstruction in patients who would otherwise spend their whole lives with disfiguring birth defects. His humanitarian efforts are legend. He has received a number of honors
for his many activities including being the Michiganian of the Year, presented by
the Detroit News in 1995.
More recently, Dr. Busuito was elected to the Wayne State University Board of
Governors on January 24. Dr. Busuito was sworn in as a governor by Judge David
Viviano following an introduction by WSU President, Dr. Roy Wilson. The department of surgery is proud that Dr. Busuito has taken on this challenge and has
been elected to carry out the duties of the WSU Board of Governors.
The swearing-in ceremony was nicely summarized by the following article:
Michael Busuito and Mark Gaffney were sworn in as the newest members of the Wayne State
University Board of Governors on Tuesday evening in the atrium of the McGregor Memorial
Conference Center surrounded by family, friends, and university officials.
The two men, who are friends, will serve eight-year terms expiring in 2024. They were sworn in

Dr. Michael J. Busuito is now Governor Busuito
by judges of the Michigan Supreme Court. Their first meeting will be on Friday, January 27.
Busuito, a Republican and lifelong Detroiter, is a second-generation descendent of Sicilian Catholic immigrants and a product of
the public education system in Michigan. He received his bachelor’s in 1976 from the University of Michigan and his M.D. from
the WSU School of Medicine in 1981. Following medical school, he completed a five-year residency in general surgery and a twoyear residency in plastic surgery.
Since beginning his plastic and reconstructive surgery practice, Busuito has continually been involved in research as well as
teaching medical students and surgery residents. He is proud of his affiliation with Wayne State and currently serves a clinical
associate professor of surgery, a voluntary position. In addition to his busy practice, Busuito frequently lectures in his specialty
and is internationally published.
He is the father of six children, all of whom participate in community service.

She is having a great year off and makes us all want to take a gap year!
Our kids continually hear stories from their parents about the Detroit Medical Center and two
very influential professors from their time there. They are medical stories but very much
translate into life lessons useful into whatever path they may choose. Those professors taught
a very disciplined approach to medical and surgical problems but with a humility and care for
patients we have not seen since. Thank you for making us better people, more empathetic doctors and understanding parents. Our patients are very much the recipients of those years of
teaching you dedicated. In our office hangs a picture of the two of you at Detroit Receiving
Hospital from many years ago and is a daily reminder to try and live up to
the finest example of what it means to be an excellent surgeon.
All the best to you both in 2017 and our deepest gratitude to you both!
Best Always,

REPORTS FROM THE OUTFIELD
PRODUCTIVITY
Dr. Mark Diebel (WSUGS 2017) published a paper in the December issue of the
Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery entitled, “Gender Dimorphism in
Adipose Tissue Response to Stress Conditions: A Plausible Mechanism to Explain the Conflicting Data Regarding Trauma and Obesity.” His co-authors
were Dr. Larry Diebel (WSU/GS 1980/86) and Mr. David Liberati.
Dr. Mark Diebel
This study looks at the mature adipocytes which were cultured with macrophages and subjected to a hypoxic/reoxygenation insult. Estrogen (E 2) or testosterone (DHT) was added to
the supernatant, after which tumor necrosis factor (TNFtin levels were monitored. Basal TNF-
-6) and adiponec-
-6 were significantly increased in response to
epinephrine and/or hypoxia/reoxygenation. E2 decreased this cytokine release to basal levels, whereas DHT had no effect.
Thus, the increased release of pro-
inflammatory cytokines in response to the epinephrine and hypoxia/
reoxygenation insults were eliminated with E2 but not with DHT. Thus, E2
appears to have a protective insult against this type of stress. Hopefully, the
results of this study will not permeate throughout the world lest women realize that they are the stronger sex!

REPORTS FROM THE OUTFIELD
Dr. Mark Diebel presented a paper at the Western Trauma Association entitled “Modulation
of the Cholinergic Anti-Inflammatory Pathway Following Shock Conditions: A Potential
Adjunct in the Obese Trauma Patient.” His co-authors were David Liberati and Larry
Diebel. This manuscript addresses the fact that obesity has been associated with different
outcomes following injury and that there is autonomic imbalance with decreased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines produced by adipose tissue. Vagal nerve stimulation
has the protective effect following hemorrhagic shock, burns, and sepsis. They looked at a
rodent model of the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway (CAP) on pro-inflammatory cytokines and adipokine production. Without getting into the details of the methods and results, the authors concluded that “Pharmacologic action of the CAP may decrease inflammation following shock and severe injury in the obese patient and may thus have a protective
role in this patient population.”
Drs. Leila Green (WSUGS 2015), Lydia Donoghue (WSU/GS
2001/08), and Samantha Tarras (WSUGS 2011) held a mini reunion at
the 30th annual scientific assembly of EAST; this was held in Hollywood, Florida this past month. Each gained a wealth of experience
but, more importantly, enjoyed good camaraderie!

Professor Guy Stern is Honored Again
Professor Guy Stern has become a legend at WSU. He has served many roles
since his birth in Hildesheim, Germany, in 1922. Professor Stern originated the
Academy of Scholars at WSU and the following is a summary of many of his activities published by the Academy of Scholars.
Dr. Stern immigrated to the United States in 1927 and became a citizen in 1943.
From 1940 to 1942, he studied at St. Louis University, followed by three years of
Professor Guy Stern at the Holocaust Memorial Center
army service. As a sergeant in the U.S. Military Intelligence, he took part in the
Normandy Invasion. After World War II, he continued his studies at Hofstra University and then at Columbia
University. He subsequently taught at Denison University in Ohio (1955-1963) and concurrently in the Summer School of Columbia University. In 1963, after a Fulbright Research Grant at the University of Munich, he
became Full Professor and Chair of the German Department in Cincinnati and, in 1973, the Dean for Graduate
Studies and Research. From his next position at the University of Maryland, he was brought to Wayne State
University in 1978 as Vice-President for Academic Affairs and Professor in German and then appointed Distinguished Professor. While teaching at these various American universities, he also accepted guest professorships at the Goethe Institute and the Universities of Freiburg, Frankfurt, Leipzig, Potsdam, and Munich.
Following his retirement from WSU in 2003, Dr. Stern took the position of Director of the International Institute of the Righteous at the Holocaust Memorial Center of Greater Detroit. He is currently the Interim Director of the Holocaust Memorial Center. He has co-curated exhibits with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, including Fighting the Fires of Hate: America and the Nazi Book Burnings, and remains a consultant.
Dr. Stern is the cofounder of the Lessing Yearbook and the Lessing Society, serving as its editor and president,
respectively, from 1975 to 1977. He has been a member of the Executive Board of the Leo Baeck Institute
since 1967 and a member of the Kurt Weill Foundation since 1979, serving as its secretary since 1981.
Among his numerous publications are: War, Weimar and Literature. The Story of the “Neue Merkur” 19141925 (1971); Literature in Exil. Gesammelte Aufsätze 1959-1989 (1989); Literature and Culture in Exile
(1997); and Fielding, Wieland, Goethe, and the Rise of the Novel (2003).
Among his awards are Distinguished Germanist of the Year (AATG 1985), Honorary Member (1989), the
Grand Order of Merit, and the Goethe Medal of the Federal Republic of Germany (1978 and 1989, respectively) and the Excellence in Teaching Award from WSU in 1998. The WSU Press also published a Festschrift
in his honor with the title Exile and Enlightenment in 1987. In 1998, he received an Honorary Doctorate from

Hofstra University and in 2005 he was honored in a second Festschrift from Synchron Verlag: Autobiographische Zeugnisse der Verfolgung: Homage für Guy Stern.
More recently, Professor Stern accepted a new award, namely, the French Legion of Honor, which was established in 1802 by Napoleon Bonaparte. This is the highest honor that can be provided by the French Government.
The ceremony began with a military entrance as the loudspeakers beamed out the French
and American national anthems. Everyone stood and sang when the American national
anthem was played. The ceremony was held at the Holocaust Memorial Center, where
the room was packed for those anxious to witness this wondrous event. Following the
national anthems, the Honorable Consulate to the United States from France made a brief
introduction where he emphasized the importance of the American and French relations
beginning with the support that Marquis de Lafayette (the surrender at Yorktown) provided to the new United States during our Revolutionary War and extended to the great sacrifices made by American soldiers to help France and the rest of Europe to put down the
Axis powers in World War I and World War II. He pointed out the significance for this
event to be held on January 27, a day which is known as Holocaust Remembrance Day,
representing the day that Russian troops liberated Auschwitz. This concentration camp
had received 1.3 million Jews of whom 1.1 million were murdered with the most sophisticated means of extermination of a human race. The Consulate emphasized the importance that Professor Stern and his colleagues were in helping conquer this evil enemy
which exterminated people because they were Jews, or Gypsies, or mentally retarded, or
lesbians, or homosexuals.

The audience learned that Professor Stern lost his parents and siblings in one of the concentration camps at
about the time he was able to escape Germany. Once he got to the United States, he volunteered to join the
military and fight this evil empire but was rejected because of his foreign birth. Later, in 1943, he and several
other Jewish immigrants were inducted into the U.S. Military on the condition that they reveal to none of
their family or friends where they would be going. They were unable to tell their family or friends what they
would be doing since they themselves did not know. This group of dedicated German and other European
immigrants went to Maryland to Camp Ritchie, where they were taught all of the intricacies of gathering intelligence. This included dealing with codes and deciphering different types of messages in addition to

becoming skilled at interrogation. They were transported to England in the spring
of 1944, and they were conveyed over to Normandy as six-man teams on June 9,
three days after the Normandy invasion. Professor Stern recounted how he knew,
coming across the Channel that he would probably be sick to his stomach and

vomit when he saw the injured and dead soldiers who had been fighting on Normandy beaches for the past 72 hours. As they approached the beach and he saw injured and dying soldiers,
including dismembered soldiers, his fear of nausea was replaced by a cold-hearted sense of duty to carry out
his mission. Shortly after arriving on the beach, which was strewn with injured soldiers and dismembered
body parts, he was promptly assigned to a German officer who was a prisoner, having recently surrendered.
He humorously recounted how the official-looking German officer almost mocked him with his negative responses. At about that time, a large whistle came along and the German soldier, knowing that this was a
bomb coming in, jumped to the ground. Professor Stern did the same. After the missile exploded, the German continued to lie on the ground because he knew there would be another one. Professor Stern, not
knowing that there would be another missile that would soon explode, ordered the German to stand up and
this order was given in such a way that the German respected Professor Stern’s authority and his bravery.
Thereafter, the German officer was very free with providing information during their interrogations.
The Camp Ritchie teams went with the advancing soldiers and, later in the year, found themselves behind
German lines during the Battle of the Bulge. The great fear that Professor Stern and many of his colleagues
had was being captured by the Germans who would have no mercy on a German Jew who was fighting for
the opposite side. A number of the Camp Ritchie Boys were captured and of course killed by the Germans;
this included a number of Professor Stern’s friends. During the ensuing weeks, Professor Stern was able to
identify a more efficient method for rapidly collecting and interpreting the information gathered at the interrogations. Using mathematical modeling, he identified a system where multiple pieces of information obtained from many people over a short period of time would identify inconsistencies and consistencies, with
the latter coming from the people who were actually telling the truth. He convinced the authorities that this
was the technique that would bring about the greatest reliable information and, of course, he was directed
to lead that effort among the interrogation teams. Interestingly, Professor Stern recalled what he thought
was an impossible task performed by the engineers who had to scale the steep walls in order to allow the
troops to get up on the hills and attack the German bunkers. Very humbly, he stated that all of the people
who died on the beach and especially those people who died while attempting to scale those walls deserved
this honor much more than him.

Professor Stern was able to provide information about the D-Day minus 1 regarding the coded messages delivered to the French Resistance in order that they could disrupt roads, communications, and railroads, thereby interfering with the German response to the D-Day landing. He recalled that it was a message that came
from “Roland’s Song” which is a famous and old French poem, so that the Germans who would be hearing
this message would be unable to attach any meaning on it. The Resistance was quite effective in carrying out
sabotage on the day prior to the invasion. The French Consulate informed the people in attendance about
the documentary that was made in 2011 by the surviving members of The Ritchie Boys. As would be expected, Professor Stern was at the leadership position in creating this documentary.
Following the reception of the French Legion of Honor Medal, Professor Stern gave a brief
statement about his past 30-year involvement with the Holocaust Memorial Center. He reemphasized the deep pain that he received from the loss of his own family members. He also
pointed out that his involvement with the Holocaust Memorial Center allowed for an anonymous person to send him some old photographs depicting the Germans taking his own family
members to the concentrations camps where they later died. Professor Stern talked about
Stern addresses
the societal and cultural aspects of the Holocaust and the terrible abyss that the German soci- Professor
the audience
ety fell into under terrible leadership. He recalled how, as a hardened soldier, he went to one
of the concentrations camps and saw how the victims had been terribly tortured. Not wanting to expose his
sentimentality as he cried, he slipped away from the rest of the group only to be sought out by the sergeant
who was even “harder” than Stern; when Sergeant Hadley finally found Professor Stern, the Professor saw
that the hard and cold Hadley was also crying. Professor Stern emphasized that the teaching among the victims was that somebody had to survive in order that this horrible message could get out to the rest of the
world about barbarity and the use of modern technology in order to annihilate a race because they believed
in a different God. He emphasized that this is more than an attack on Jews but pointed out that any attack on
one group of citizens represents a breakdown in a civilized society and somebody else will be next to suffer.
Professor Stern has had many awards as emphasized in the summary of his activities by the WSU Academy of
Scholars. He reassured everyone there that there is no greater award than to received the French Legion of
Honor Award in doing what he had to do. He summarized by saying that the knowledge of what happened
to his family, his friends, and the many victims of the Holocaust created within him a “raison d’être” or, as he
said it, “….the purpose of my existence for the past 75 years.”

Wayne State Surgical Society
The Wayne State Surgical Society (WSSS) was established during the tenure of Dr. Walt as the chairman of the Department of Surgery. WSSS was designed to create closer contact between the current faculty and residents with the former resident members in order to create a living family of all of the WSU
Department of Surgery. The WSSS also supports department activities. Charter/Life Membership in the
WSSS is attained by a donation of $1,000 per year for ten years or $10,000 prior to ten years. Annual
membership is attained by a donation of $200 per year. WSSS supports a visiting lecturer each fall and
co-sponsors the annual reception of the department at the annual meeting of the American College of
Surgeons. Dr. Randall W. Smith (WSU/GS 1981/86) passed the baton of presidency to Dr. Brian Shapiro
(WSU/GS 1988/93) at the WSSS Gathering during the American College of Surgeons meeting in October
2016. Members of the WSSS are listed on the next page. Dr. Shapiro continues in the hope that all former
residents will become lifetime members of the WSSS and participate in the annual sponsored lectureship
and the annual reunion at the American College of Surgeons meeting.
