Assessment Of Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Mri For The Early Detection Of Treatment Response In Human Advanced Hepato-Cellular Carcinoma, Yun Jiang
All ETDs from UAB
Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) has been shown to be a potentially useful tool for early prediction of tumor response to antiangiogenesis agents. In this study, the technique was used to evaluate the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin with or without the tyrosine kinase inhibitor sorafenib in patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Five male patients (ages 50 to 78 years, average age 67 8 years) were studied with serial T1-weighted DCE-MRI to measure the alteration of perfusion parameters of tumors in response to the treatment. All patients received doxorubicin at dose of 60 mg/m2 intravenously every 21 days. Among …
The Combined Effect Of Formalin Fixation And Individual Steps In Tissue Processing On Immunorecognition, Dennis Otali
The Combined Effect Of Formalin Fixation And Individual Steps In Tissue Processing On Immunorecognition, Dennis Otali
All ETDs from UAB
Because of many unanswered questions in this area, we investigated the effects of formalin fixation and the steps in tissue processing on immunohistochemical detection of specific antigen-antibody combinations of two cell cycle markers; proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and Ki67/MIB-1. As a model to study these effects, we used cultured cells fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin (NBF) alone and fixed in 10% NBF plus separately, the alcohols, xylene and paraffin used in each individual step in tissue processing. We found that in staining for PCNA, a proliferation antigen requires some fixation but that fixation with 10% NBF does not …
Grassroots Policy Prescription: A Case Study In Light Pollution And Night Sky Preservation And Natural Resource Policy Making, Brandi L. Smith
Grassroots Policy Prescription: A Case Study In Light Pollution And Night Sky Preservation And Natural Resource Policy Making, Brandi L. Smith
All ETDs from UAB
The grassroots path to public policy is characterized by citizen pressure on policy makers to produce desired change and has been especially successful in the realm of natural resources. It has proven successful in the obtainment of various local and state level policy to control light pollution in the United States. Light pollution, defined as misdirected, obtrusive, or unwanted man-made outdoor lighting is a modern phenomenon that, among other effects, is resulting in the rapid loss of visible starscape throughout the world. Independent grassroots-initiated policies have sprung up around the globe in attempt to control light pollution. The present thesis …
Five Mile Creek Bioassessment Study: Baseline Evaluation Of Stream Health Using Fish Communities, Louis David Viamonte
Five Mile Creek Bioassessment Study: Baseline Evaluation Of Stream Health Using Fish Communities, Louis David Viamonte
All ETDs from UAB
During the fall of 2005 and spring of 2006, habitat assessments and rapid bioassessments were conducted at six sites on 100 m reaches on Five Mile Creek in Jefferson County, Alabama and two sites on neighboring rural streams that were used as references. Habitat scores and index of biotic integrity (IBI) scores for the fish communities were calculated for all sites. The IBI scores on Five Mile Creek did not compare well with one of the reference streams and suggest impairment. The habitat scores for the Five Mile Creek sites were similar to the scores of the reference streams. The …
Visualizing The Function And Migration Of T Cells, Kari J. Dugger
Visualizing The Function And Migration Of T Cells, Kari J. Dugger
All ETDs from UAB
Lymphocytes are highly mobile cells that can travel throughout the body in response to a multitude of stimuli. Identifying lymphocyte trafficking patterns in vivo is essential for a complete understanding of immune function. Cell-cell and cell-tissue interactions in immune development and in lymphocyte response to stimuli can be comprehended with these investigations. Although the location of cell populations in various tissues at any given point in time may be investigated by techniques such as flow cytometry and immunofluorescence, these methods are not easily used in the assessment of dynamic cell migration patterns in vivo. In the past years, technologies for …
The Role Of Chloride In The Volume Regulation Of Human Glioma Cells, Nola Jean Ernest
The Role Of Chloride In The Volume Regulation Of Human Glioma Cells, Nola Jean Ernest
All ETDs from UAB
According to the Central Brain Tumor Registry of the United States, the most common primary brain tumors are gliomas, tumors composed of cells of glial origin, most commonly astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. The most aggressive of these tumors are characterized by hyperproliferation, marked cellular and nuclear atypia, extensive infiltration into surrounding normal brain tissue, and large areas of cell and tissue death. Previous data published by our lab and others suggest that these biological processes may involve regulated cell volume changes. Using cell volume regulation in the presence of an anisosmotic challenge as a model for cell swelling and shrinkage, cell …
The Decision To Move: An Analysis Of Factors That Influence African Americans In The Ghetto, Lonnie Hannon
The Decision To Move: An Analysis Of Factors That Influence African Americans In The Ghetto, Lonnie Hannon
All ETDs from UAB
The decision to move among African Americans in a poor community encom-passes individual, household, and neighborhood characteristics. Previous research fo-cuses on the frequently studied middle class. Meanwhile substantive analyses on African Americans from poor communities remain largely understudied. The current study uses data from a low income African American community to study residential mobility deci-sions. A systematic, random sample of respondents completed a survey concerning their residential situation. Data were triangulated to add reliability and richness to the find-ings. The results show that the decision to move is not a function of residential satisfac-tion, but is influenced by neighborhood and …
Synthesis And Characterization Of Phosphorus-Containing Inorganic Polymers, Ronald Dustan Myrex
Synthesis And Characterization Of Phosphorus-Containing Inorganic Polymers, Ronald Dustan Myrex
All ETDs from UAB
This research project involves the synthesis of novel phosphorus-containing inorganic polymers. These materials share similar structures to their organic counterparts but are not comprised entirely of hydrocarbons as the latter. As such they may serve as replacements for organic materials, a growing concern as the price of petroleum feed stocks continues to increase. Paper 1 investigates transesterification polymerizations of poly(alkylene phosphonates) through phosphorous and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. A methyl-transfer side reaction was identified and steps to eliminate its occurrence were created. This also allowed for the elimination of a dangerous step in the synthesis procedure. Paper 2 investigates …

Statistics from the National Assessment for Educational Progress (NAEP) and the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) report a decline in reading achievement for middle school students. This disse1iation examined student test scores on measures of achievement such as the Standardized Achievement Test (SAT) and the Alabama Reading and Math Test (ARMT) for 3 consecutive years in the upper elementary school, just before this critical middle school milestone. The study also examined the percentage of students who scored below their ability levels as measured by the Otis Lennon School Ability Tests (OLSAT). The participants were 53 students who attended a …

Approximately, 80,000 Americans are affected by sickle cell disease (SCD) and it is the most common inherited blood disorder in the United States. SCD is most prevalent among individuals of African, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Asian Indian ancestry; however, statistics suggest that in the United States, African Americans are disproportionately affected by SCD (Sickle Cell Disease Association of America (SCDAA), 2007). Nearly, 1 in 400 African Americans is born with SCD; in addition, 1 in 12 African Americans is born with sickle cell trait (SCT) (National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), 2007). Two carriers of the trait have a 25% …
Deprofessionalization Of The Corporate Optometrist? Contrasting Characteristics Of The Bureaucratic And Professional Models, R Michael Taylor
Deprofessionalization Of The Corporate Optometrist? Contrasting Characteristics Of The Bureaucratic And Professional Models, R Michael Taylor
All ETDs from UAB
This study will investigate whether professional status differs between corporate and noncorporate optometrists by comparing their levels of autonomy, income, and job satisfaction. According to Freidson’s ideal model, a professional maintains high levels of autonomy and income but the opposite is usually true for employees of Weber’s traditional bureaucracy. Bureaucracies employ formally rational processes such as hierarchical decision-making and limited employee profit sharing which have affects on healthcare professional independence. The primary objective of many American corporations is to maximize profits for shareholders. While the health professional also strives to maximize profits, this objective is often balanced with an ethical …
Importance Of Trnalys,3 Structure And Use In Gag Translation For Primer Selection Required For Replication Of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type I, Wanfeng Yu
All ETDs from UAB
The features of tRNALys,3 that dictate why human immunodeficiency virus exclu-sively selects this tRNA as the primer for initiation of reverse transcription is unknown. The post-transcriptional modification at nucleotide 58 in the TΨC stem-loop could play a role during plus-strand synthesis to stop reverse transcriptase from re-copying the tRNA primer. Nucleotides 53 and 54 within the TΨC stem loop of the tRNA have been shown to be important to form the complex between tRNA and the HIV-1 viral genome during initiation of reverse transcription. To further delineate the features of the TΨC stem loop in tRNALys,3 in reverse transcription, we …
