The Flute Music Of Luigi Zaninelli, Julie Martin Maisel

Research Theses

Luigi Zaninelli, born in 1932, currently serves as Professor of Composition and Theory at the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg. During his tenure there, he has composed more than 150 works. His total output exceeds 300 published compositions and more than 60 unpublished pieces. Zaninelli's compositions involving the flute are a valuable addition to the flutist's solo and chamber repertoire. The music can be performed by advanced high school and college level students and provides access to twentieth-century American flute music. His writing for flute is idiomatic and focuses on the ilmate beauty of the instrument. Through researching flute …

Ovulatory And Metabolic Effects Of D-Chiro-Inositol In The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, John E. Nestler, Daniela J. Jakubowicz , M.D., Paula Reamer , M.A., Ronald D. Gunn , M.S., Geoffrey Allan , Ph. D.

Obstetrics and Gynecology Publications

BACKGROUND

Women with the polycystic ovary syndrome have insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia, possibly because of a deficiency of a d-chiro-inositol–containing phosphoglycan that mediates the action of insulin. We hypothesized that the administration of d-chiro-inositol would replenish stores of the mediator and improve insulin sensitivity.

METHODS

We measured steroids in serum and performed oral glucose-tolerance tests before and after the oral administration of 1200 mg of d-chiro-inositol or placebo once daily for six to eight weeks in 44 obese women with the polycystic ovary syndrome. The serum progesterone concentration was measured weekly to monitor for …

Rapid Generation Of Broad T-Cell Immunity In Humans After A Single Injection Of Mature Dendritic Cells, Madhav V. Dhodapkar, Ralph M. Steinman, Mark Sapp

Publications

Dendritic cells (DCs) are potent antigen-presenting cells that initiate protective T-cell immunity in mice. To study the immunogenicity of DCs in humans, we injected 9 healthy subjects subcutaneously with a control injection of autologous monocyte-derived, mature DCs, followed 4-6 weeks later by DCs pulsed with keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), HLA-A*0201- positive restricted influenza matrix peptide (MP), and tetanus toxoid (TT). Four more subjects received these antigens without DCs. Injection of unpulsed DCs, or antigens alone, failed to immunize. Priming of CD4⁺ T cells to KLH was observed in all 9 subjects injected with KLH-pulsed DCs, and boosting of TT-specific …

Vaccination With Mage-3a1 Peptide-Pulsed Nature, Monocyte-Derived Dendritic Cells Expands Specific Cytotoxic T Cells And Induces Regression Of Some Metastases In Advanced Stage Iv Melanoma, Beatrice Thurner, Ina Haendle, Claudia Röder

Publications

Dendritic cells (DCs) are considered to be promising adjuvants for inducing immunity to cancer. We used mature, monocyte-derived DCs to elicit resistance to malignant melanoma. The DCs were pulsed with Mage-3A1 tumor peptide and a recall antigens, tetanus toxoid or tuberculin. 11 far advanced stage IV melanoma patients, who were progressive despite standard chemotherapy, received five DC vaccinations at 14-d intervals. The first three vaccinations were administered into the skin, 3 x 10⁶ DCs each subcutaneously and intradermally, followed by two intravenous injections of 6 x 10⁶ and 12 x 10⁶ DCs, respectively. Only minor (less than …

Differentiation Of Phagocytic Monocytes Into Lymph Node Dendritic Cells In Vivo, Gwendalyn J. Randolph, Kayo Inaba, Davide E. Robbiani

Publications

We investigated the differentiation and trafficking of inflammatory monocytes that phagocytosed subcutaneously injected fluorescent microspheres. As expected, most of the monocytes became microsphere⁺ macrophages, which remained in subcutaneous tissue. However, about 25% of latex⁺ cells migrated to the T cell area of draining lymph nodes, where they expressed dendritic cell (DC)-restricted markers and high levels of costimulatory molecules. Microsphere-transporting cells were distinct from resident skin DCs, and this transport was reduced by more than 85% in monocyte-deficient osteopetrotic mice. Thus, a substantial minority of inflammatory monocytes carry phagocytosed particles to lymph nodes and differentiate into DCs

Trance, A Tumor Necrosis Factor Family Member Critical For Cd40 Ligand- Independent T Helper Cell Activation, Martin F. Bachmann, Brian R. Wong, Régis Josien

Publications

CD40 ligand (CD40L), a tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family member, plays a critical role in antigen-specific T cell responses in vivo. CD40L expressed on activated CD4⁺ T cells stimulates antigen-presenting cells such as dendritic cells, resulting in the upregulation of costimulatory molecules and the production of various inflammatory cytokines required for CD4⁺ T cell priming in vivo. However, CD40L- or CD40-deficient mice challenged with viruses mount protective CD4⁺ T cell responses that produce normal levels of interferon γ, suggesting a CD40L/CD40-independent mechanism of CD4⁺ T cell priming that to date has not been elucidated. Here we …

Alertness-Supporting Activities For Control Room Operators In Automated Industrial Plants, Roger C. Jensen

Safety Health & Industrial Hygiene

A survey of control room operators in a nuclear power plant identified practical activities for maintaining alertness during the early morning hours. Nine on-duty operators rated 16 activities they were allowed to do on shift. Activities most effective for alertness were splashing cool water on the face, drinking coffee, and doing things that used muscles. The least effective activities were passive monitoring and studying for exams. The large range of ratings indicates that activity has a major role in operator alertness during the early morning hours.
