A Central Function For Perlecan In Skeletal Muscle And Cardiovascular Development, Jason J. Zoeller, Angela Mcquillan, John Whitelock, Shiu-Ying Ho, Renato V. Iozzo Apr 2008

A Central Function For Perlecan In Skeletal Muscle And Cardiovascular Development, Jason J. Zoeller, Angela Mcquillan, John Whitelock, Shiu-Ying Ho, Renato V. Iozzo

Department of Pathology, Anatomy, and Cell Biology Faculty Papers

Perlecan's developmental functions are difficult to dissect in placental animals because perlecan disruption is embryonic lethal. In contrast to mammals, cardiovascular function is not essential for early zebrafish development because the embryos obtain adequate oxygen by diffusion. In this study, we use targeted protein depletion coupled with protein-based rescue experiments to investigate the involvement of perlecan and its C-terminal domain V/endorepellin in zebrafish development. The perlecan morphants show a severe myopathy characterized by abnormal actin filament orientation and disorganized sarcomeres, suggesting an involvement of perlecan in myopathies. In the perlecan morphants, primary intersegmental vessel sprouts, which develop through angiogenesis, fail …


Learning On Line Using Wiki Technology: A Pilot Study In A Pediatric Clerkship, Anthony J. Frisby, J Lindsey Lane Apr 2008

Learning On Line Using Wiki Technology: A Pilot Study In A Pediatric Clerkship, Anthony J. Frisby, J Lindsey Lane

The Selected Works of Anthony J. Frisby, PhD

Methods Students on the Pediatric Clerkship at Jefferson Medical College research case-vignettes in 20 topic areas and discuss their answers in small group with a faculty facilitator to achieve the learning objectives. Using the Blackboard course management system and Learning Objects TeamsLx software one topic area, with 10 case vignettes, was transferred to on line learning and piloted by 14 students divided into 5 groups. Instructions for use of the WIKI communication forum were provided on-line. Each group was assigned 2 case-vignettes. Outcomes data was obtained from questionnaires and student interviews.

Results: No student had prior experience with online learning. …


A Distinct Role For B1b Lymphocytes In T Cell-Independent Immunity, Kishore R. Alugupalli Apr 2008

A Distinct Role For B1b Lymphocytes In T Cell-Independent Immunity, Kishore R. Alugupalli

Department of Microbiology and Immunology Faculty Papers

Pathogenesis of infectious disease is not only determined by the virulence of the microbe but also by the immune status of the host. Vaccination is the most effective means to control infectious diseases. A hallmark of the adaptive immune system is the generation of B cell memory, which provides a long-lasting protective antibody response that is central to the concept of vaccination. Recent studies revealed a distinct function for B1b lymphocytes, a minor subset of mature B cells that closely resembles that of memory B cells in a number of aspects. In contrast to the development of conventional B cell …

Coronary Steal Syndrome After Coronary Artery Bypass For Anomalous Aortic, Benjamin A. Youdelman, Glenn J. Pelletier, C. Igor Mesia, Marshall L. Jacobs Apr 2008

Coronary Steal Syndrome After Coronary Artery Bypass For Anomalous Aortic, Benjamin A. Youdelman, Glenn J. Pelletier, C. Igor Mesia, Marshall L. Jacobs

Department of Surgery Faculty Papers

Anomalous aortic origin of a coronary artery (AAOCA) found in a symptomatic 9 year old boy was initially treated with coronary artery bypass (CABG) using a left internal mammary artery (LIMA) anastomoses to the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) but resulted in coronary ischemia, likely from a steal phenomenon. Subsequent transection of the proximal LIMA with anastomosis to the ascending aorta, and coronary ostial enlargement, resulted in a durable treatment. We recommend caution in choosing CABG using a LIMA pedicle graft for the treatment of AAOCA.

Maternal Cocaine Administration In Mice Alters Dna Methylation And Gene Expression In Hippocampal Neurons Of Neonatal And Prepubertal Offspring, Svetlana I. Novikova, Fang He, Jie Bai, Nicholas J. Cutrufello, Michael S. Lidow, Ashiwel S. Undieh Apr 2008

Maternal Cocaine Administration In Mice Alters Dna Methylation And Gene Expression In Hippocampal Neurons Of Neonatal And Prepubertal Offspring, Svetlana I. Novikova, Fang He, Jie Bai, Nicholas J. Cutrufello, Michael S. Lidow, Ashiwel S. Undieh

College of Pharmacy Faculty Papers

Previous studies documented significant behavioral changes in the offspring of cocaine-exposed mothers. We now explore the hypothesis that maternal cocaine exposure could alter the fetal epigenetic machinery sufficiently to cause lasting neurochemical and functional changes in the offspring. Pregnant CD1 mice were administered either saline or 20 mg/kg cocaine twice daily on gestational days 8-19. Male pups from each of ten litters of the cocaine and control groups were analyzed at 3 (P3) or 30 (P30) days postnatum. Global DNA methylation, methylated DNA immunoprecipitation followed by CGI(2) microarray profiling and bisulfite sequencing, as well as quantitative real-time RT-PCR gene expression …

Surgical Management Of Metastatic Disease To The Adrenal Gland, Paul R. Gittens Jr., Allison F. Solish, Edouard Trabulsi Apr 2008

Surgical Management Of Metastatic Disease To The Adrenal Gland, Paul R. Gittens Jr., Allison F. Solish, Edouard Trabulsi

Department of Urology Faculty Papers

Metastatic disease to the adrenal glands can occur in a wide array of malignancies. With the increased use of abdominal imaging, these lesions are diagnosed with more frequency. Diagnostic and laboratory evaluation is essential for the differentiation of benign lesions from primary malignant adrenal tumors or extra-adrenal metastasis. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics, as well as the adjunctive use of immunocytochemical techniques on biopsy specimens, can allow accurate identification of metastatic lesions. Surgical management of metastastic lesions is appropriate in selected patients, primarily when representing the solitary site of metastatic disease. The surgical approach, while debatable, …
