Mutant Tdp-43 In Motor Neurons Promotes The Onset And Progression Of Als In Rats, Cao Huang, Jianbin Tong, Fangfang Bi, Hongxia Zhou, Xu-Gang Xia
Department of Pathology, Anatomy, and Cell Biology Faculty Papers
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by progressive motor neuron degeneration, which ultimately leads to paralysis and death. Mutation of TAR DNA binding protein 43 (TDP-43) has been linked to the development of an inherited form of ALS. Existing TDP-43 transgenic animals develop a limited loss of motor neurons and therefore do not faithfully reproduce the core phenotype of ALS. Here, we report the creation of multiple lines of transgenic rats in which expression of ALS-associated mutant human TDP-43 is restricted to either motor neurons or other types of neurons and skeletal muscle and can be switched on and off. …

Buffered Memory: A Hypothesis For The Maintenance Of Functional, Virus-Specific Cd8(+) T Cells During Cytomegalovirus Infection., Christopher M Snyder
Department of Microbiology and Immunology Faculty Papers
Chronic infections have been a major topic of investigation in recent years, but the mechanisms that dictate whether or not a pathogen is successfully controlled are incompletely understood. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a herpesvirus that establishes a persistent infection in the majority of people in the world. Like other herpesviruses, CMV is well controlled by an effective immune response and induces little, if any, pathology in healthy individuals. However, controlling CMV requires continuous immune surveillance, and thus, CMV is a significant cause of morbidity and death in immune-compromised individuals. T cells in particular play an important role in controlling CMV and …

Background/ Rationale: It has been established that Interprofessional Education (IPE) offers a solution to foster teamwork and improve patient care and should be implemented early in professional role development. Thomas Jefferson University has been providing IPE to interprofessional healthcare students for over 5 years. A long term strategic goal was identified to “create innovative learning environments that support interprofessional education including state-of-the-art technologies”. In actualizing this goal, the curriculum was enhanced with technology supported collaborative learning techniques to assist in group processing and reflection. Combining traditional IPE activities with technology supported components incorporated the advantages of both delivery methods, …

Molecular Diagnostics In Periprosthetic Joint Infection., Javad Parvizi, Lesley Walinchus, Bahar Adeli
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Faculty Papers
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a significant and costly challenge to the orthopedic community. The lack of a gold standard for diagnosis remains the biggest obstacle in the detection and subsequent treatment of PJI. Molecular markers in the serum and joint fluid aspirate hold immense promise to enhance the development of a firm diagnostic criterion. The primary goal is one marker with high sensitivity and specificity. Here, we review our current research efforts in the field of molecular markers: C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, white blood cells, and leukocyte esterase. Each marker has been studied to determine its sensitivity, specificity, …

Macrophages And Neutrophils From Humans And Mice Kill Larval Strongyloides Stercoralis During Innate Immunity, Sandra Bonne-Annee, Laura A. Kerepesi, Jessica A. Hess Ligas, David Abraham, Phd
Department of Microbiology and Immunology Faculty Papers
The parasitic nematode Strongyloides stercoralis (Ss) infects 30-100 million people worldwide, yet little is known about the immune response in humans. Previous studies on innate immunity to Ss in mice have demonstrated a role for eosinophils, neutrophils (PMN) and complement activation in the protective immune response.

Expression Of Cancer Stem Cell Biomarkers In Male Breast Cancer, Ping Gong, Md, Juan P. Palazzo, Md
Department of Pathology, Anatomy, and Cell Biology Faculty Papers
Male breast cancer is an uncommon disease, representing <1% of all breast cancer diagnoses. The prognostic factors and expression of molecular markers in male breast carcinomas are similar to female cancer. Cancer stem cell (CSC)s have been associated with tumor aggressiveness and drug resistance. CSCs are characterized by CD44 and/or ALDH1 expression. We investigated their expression in male breast cancer.

The Role Of Mer In Apoptotic Cell Clearance In The Germinal Center, Tahsin N. Khan, Eric B. Wong, Ziaur S.M. Rahman, Phd
Department of Microbiology and Immunology Faculty Papers
Germinal centers (GCs) are specialized micro-environments that generate high affinity Ab-forming cells (AFCs) and memory B cells. Many B cells undergo apoptosis during clonal selection in GCs. The TAM (Tyro-3, Axl, and Mer) family receptor tyrosine kinases, including Mer, facilitate macrophage clearance of apoptotic cells. We previously showed that tingible body macrophages (TBMφs) in GCs express Mer. We observed that apoptotic cells (ACs) accumulated in GCs of mice deficient in Mer (Mer-/-), after immunization with T-dependent Ag. Accumulation of ACs in GCs of Mer-/- mice resulted in significantly increased AFCs, GCs, and Th1-skewed IgG2c Ab responses. We report here that …

There is a growing evidence in the nursing literature about the effectiveness of clinical simulation as a powerful teaching/learning strategy. This wealth of research attributes simulation's effectiveness to its design that creates an environment where "students become active learners, abandoning memorization for accessing knowledge, and thinking and applying learning in context rather than providing answers to fact-based test" (Jeffries, 2007). A simulation suite provides a "safe, supportive environment that allows students to learn a variety of complex skills in a stress-free environment" (Ghiglieri, Ruiz, & Vasudevan, 2007). Creating this environment requires meticulous planning to details. The learner must have a …

Department of Surgery Faculty Papers
Summary:
In this study, we investigated a novel approach for HCC treatment by inducing overexpression of GRK2 in human HCC cells. We found that overexpression of GRK2 through recombinant adenovirus transduction inhibits the growth of human HCC cells. BrdU incorporation assay showed that the growth inhibition caused by elevated GRK2 level was due tot he reduced cell proliferation but not apoptosis. To examine the anti-proliferative function of increased GRK2 level, we performed cell cycle analysis using propidium iodide staining. We found that the proliferation suppression was associated with G2/M phase cell cycle arrest by the wild type GRK2 but not …
Assessment Of Adherence To Guidelines For Hepatocellular Carcinoma Screening In Hiv/Hcv Coinfected Patients, Jonathan M. Fenkel, Md, Victor J. Navarro, Md
Assessment Of Adherence To Guidelines For Hepatocellular Carcinoma Screening In Hiv/Hcv Coinfected Patients, Jonathan M. Fenkel, Md, Victor J. Navarro, Md
Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology Faculty Papers
Conclusions:
1. Self-reported adherence with published guidelines for HCC screening is poor among primary providers for HIV/HCV coinfected patients, including HIV specialists and University-based providers.
2. Unnecessary imaging is also frequently ordered on non-cirrhotics, particularly by University-based providers.
3. Improved adherence to guidelines is needed among primary providers as over 50% of HCC's may be missed, and many patients many not be referred for subspecialty GI or Liver care, where screening practices may differ.

Background:
Pathways to Housing ends chronic homelessness for individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) by providing housing first, and then combining that housing with supportive treatment services in the area of mental and physical health, substance abuse, education, and employment. Housing is provided in apartments scattered throughout a community. This "scattered site" model fosters a sense of home and self-determination, and it helps speed client's reintegration into the community. The Pathways model has been remarkable successful in addressing chronic homelessness.
Research Question
What are the chronic physical disease self management support needs of Pathways to Housing clients?

Conclusions:
Half of our 50 patients with TG documented by EM had no DSAs or positive C4d staining in PTCs. Almost 70% of the patients evidenced PTC basement membrane multilayering. These patients were all diagnosed with chronic active CMR independently of the presence of TG. Cellular rejection mechanisms are likely the cause of the TG in this group. Patients with TG and DSAs are at greater risk for episodes of acute AMR and CMR. C4d staining of PTCs was evident in less than 40% and in the glomeruli in less than half. Interestingly, 25 of the 26 DSA+ patients were …

Discussion:
This analysis revealed the differences in which physicians in primary care complete CRC screening steps. The approach and completion of screening steps varied greatly among practices.
There was a correlation between the quantitative data and the qualitative data. The analysis from both methodologies produced similar results and supports each other's assessment.
All of the practices analyzed possessed one of the essential elements (a physician recommendation) which is the foundation for increased screening. All of the practices have the potential to expand upon this foundation in order to ensure that all eligible patients are approached and screened for CRC.
The …
