The Use Of 18f-Fluoride And 18f-Fdg Pet Scans To Assess Fracture Healing In A Rat Femur Model, Jay R. Lieberman

UCHC Articles - Research

Currently available diagnostic techniques can be unreliable in the diagnosis of
delayed fracture healing in certain clinical situations, which can lead to increased complication rates and costs to the health care system. This study sought to determine the utility of positron emission tomography (PET) scanning with 18F-fluoride ion, which localizes in regions of high osteoblastic activity, and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), an indicator of cellular glucose metabolism, in assessing bone healing in a rat femur fracture model.

Molecular Determinants Of Mg2+ And Ca2+ Permeability And Ph Sensitivity In Trpm6 And Trpm7*S, Mingjiang Li, Jianyang Du, Jianmin Jiang, William J. Ratzan, Li-Ting Su, Loren W. Runnels, Lixia Yue

UCHC Articles - Research

The channel kinases TRPM6 and TRPM7 have recently been discovered to play important roles in Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ homeostasis, which is critical to both human health and cell viability. However, the molecular basis underlying these channels’ unique Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ permeability and pH sensitivity remains unknown. Here we have created a series of amino acid substitutions in the putative pore of TRPM7 to evaluate the origin of the permeability of the channel and its regulation by pH. Two mutants of TRPM7, E1047Q and E1052Q, produced dramatic changes in channel properties. The I–V relations of E1052Q and …

Green Medicine: Using Lessons From Tort Law And Environmental Law To Hold Pharmaceutical Manufacturers And Authorized Distributors Liable For Injuries Caused By Counterfeit Drugs, Stephanie Aleong

Faculty Scholarship

Counterfeit and adulterated prescription drugs have caused serious harm to consumers when these tainted products have easily permeated the legitimate marketplace over the last decades. Criminals and other actors introduce fake, adulterated, expired and foreign drugs into the drug distribution network which puts unsafe medicine into the hands of innocent consumers.

Due to the FDA’s identification of the dramatic rise in counterfeit drug investigations, in June of 2006, the FDA finally lifted the nearly twenty-year-old stay on requiring pedigree documentation, an actual history of the distribution transactions of a medicine before reaching a dispensing pharmacy, only to find that a …

Heat Stress, Fairs, And Achievement Days: Animal Considerations, Russ Daly

SDSU Extension Extra Archives

Animals shown at achievement days and fairs may be at increased risk for heat stress compared to their counterparts left at home. Transporting, showing, and handling in hot and humid weather may predispose animals to heat stress and possibly serious health consequences. With the exception of horses, animals shown at fairs and achievement days (cattle, dogs and cats, pigs, poultry, rabbits, sheep and goats) do not perspire and cannot regulate body temperature that way. If conditions are hot and humid, their body temperatures will peak in late afternoon and early evening hours. The most important way to reduce the risk …

Gradual Release Of Responsibility Approach In Developing Synthesis In Primary-Aged Children, Michelle Te Grootenhuis

Master of Education Program Theses

This action research explored the effects of using the gradual release of responsibility instructional method (Harvey and Goudvis, 2000) to improve the synthesis abilities of fourteen second grade students who attend a small rural school. The specific treatment involved the students in modeled, shared, guided, and independent practice of the synthesis strategy using authentic children's literature. The DRA2 interpretation scores of the students were compared before and after the treatment. The results showed that twelve of the students scored within the independent or advanced level, one student improved from frustration to instructional level, and one student remained at the frustration …

One Of These Things Is Not Like The Other: Art Education And The Symbolic Interaction Of Bodies And Self-Images., James Haywood Rolling Jr.

Teaching and Leadership - All Scholarship

This article begins with the premise that self-imagery is constituted as a shape-shifting aggregate of symbolic systems that incorporates the human body itself as one of its representations. At intermittent points of the body’s embodiment of visual culture and tacit social experience, alternative representations accrete into varying symbolic systems, the multiple shapes a self-image may take over a lifetime. Given that social identity is derived from the interaction of various symbolic systems, how do some bodies and self-images come to be taken as that of identities incompatible with most others? In this exploration of the self-image and identity, the author …

Self-Efficacy And Health Value Among Undergraduates Following A Lifetime Fitness Course, Heather M. Brown

All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The question of whether perceived self-efficacy for exercise and health value, respectively, varied as a function of gender and exercise stage of change was the focus of this study. An archival data set was used. Participants were 190 college students who completed a demographic questionnaire, the Exercise Stage of Change Questionnaire, the Rokeach Values Survey, and the Self-Efficacy for Exercise questionnaire before and after completing a lifetime fitness course. Two 2-factor analyses of covariance were conducted for each dependent variable, self-efficacy and health value. Gender and exercise stage of change were the independent variables. Exercise stage of change was divided …

Chinese Family Strengths And Resiliency, Anqi Xu, Xiaolin Xie, Wenli Liu, Yan Ruth Xia, Dalin Liu

Department of Child, Youth, and Family Studies: Faculty Publications

Chinese family and marriage strengths and challenges are delineated in this article, including equity in marriage, affection, the ability to adapt to changes, mutual trust, compatibility, harmony, and family support. Despite the fact that Chinese households are getting smaller as a result of governmental policy and the broadening of housing markets, families remain crucial support networks, especially in the areas of socialization and intergenerational relationships. Current research on Chinese marriages and families is cited, outlining attitudinal changes regarding mate selection, divorce, and childbirth between genders, between older and younger generations, and between urban and rural residents.

Impacts Of Parents’ Divorce On Chinese Children: A Model With Academic Performance As A Mediator, Anqi Xu, Jiehai Zhang, Yan Ruth Xia

Department of Child, Youth, and Family Studies: Faculty Publications

The study examined the impact of parents’ divorce on Chinese children’s well-being. A Chinese theoretical model was tested using Structural Equation Modeling. The sample consisted of 940 Chinese children aged 6-16. The well-being of children from divorced families was compared with that of two-parent and widowed families. The results showed that children’s academic performance mediated the negative impact of divorce on children’s well-being. The societal discriminating attitude towards divorce and single-parent families had a strong negative effect on the children’s well-being. Parenting skills of the custodial parent had more influence on the children’s well-being than the marital conflicts prior to …
