Microcantilever Surface Modification For Chem-/Bio-Sensing, Hongwei Du

Doctoral Dissertations

One focus of the microcantilever (MCL) sensing area is to develop a novel surface modification approach to increase the microcantilever bending amplitudes and thus further improve sensitivities. In this dissertation, enzyme incorporated using the Layer by-Layer (LbL) process, LbL deposition of micro-, nano-hydrogel particles and electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of micro-, nano-hydrogel particles were applied to prepare a multilayer or thin hydrogel films on the surface of microcantilevers. Prior to applying to the microcantilevers, LbL and electrophoretic deposition techniques were also applied to gold coated silicon wafer surfaces to investigate the feasibility and deposition behavior using these techniques. The multilayers prepared …

Biophysical Study Of The Sh2 Domain Of Human Tensin, Yogesh Mohan Kulkarni

Doctoral Dissertations

Cell migration is a key characteristic of embryogenesis, inflammation, wound healing, tumor cell metastasis and a broad range of other normal and pathological processes. Accumulating evidence suggests that the protein tensin provides a physical link between transmembrane receptors, proteins commonly associated with signal transduction, and the actin cytoskeleton. Adhesion involves three broad classes of macromolecules: ExtraCellular Matrix (ECM) molecules, transmembrane adhesion receptors, and intracellular adhesion plaque proteins. Tensin is particularly enriched in Fibrillar Adhesions (FA's), though it is also present to a modest extent in Focal Contacts (FC's). Src Homology 2 (SH2) domains function in the transmission of molecular signals …

A Follower's View Of Leadership, Albert Desimone Jr.

Academic Leadership: The Online Journal (2003-2012)

Leadership and leaders—the embodiment of leadership—exist to effect positive change. If we were all satisfied with the way things are in the world, there would be no need for leaders. We would still need managers to oversee the individuals who maintain the status quo, and we would still need supervisors to oversee the tasks and processes associated with that maintenance.

T Cells Expressing Allograft Inflammatory Factor 1 Display Increased Chemotaxis And Induce A Profibrotic Phenotype In Normal Fibroblasts In Vitro, Francesco Del Galdo M.D., Ph.D., Sergio A. Jimenez M.D.

Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Biology Faculty Papers

Objective. Allograft inflammatory factor 1 (AIF-1) was first identified in rat cardiac allografts undergoing chronic rejection. The vasculopathy of chronic allograft rejection is strikingly similar to that seen in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). We previously demonstrated AIF-1 expression in inflammatory cells infiltrating skin and lungs from SSc patients, but its role in SSc pathogenesis is unknown. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of AIF-1 on T cell migration and production of cytokines capable of modulating normal dermal fibroblast functions.

Methods. Stably transfected Jurkat T cells expressing 2 AIF-1 splicing variants were prepared, and their migration toward …

Risks And Benefits Of Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography: A Review, Patrick Wi Pau

Journal of the Hong Kong College of Cardiology

Multislice computed tomography coronary angiography (CTA) is a noninvasive radiology technique that provides high-resolution images of the coronary artery. It has high sensitivity and specificity for coronary stenosis and can be used to rule out significant coronary artery disease (CAD), thereby avoiding the risk of invasive coronary angiography. There is a danger that CTA may be overused as a screening test for CAD in healthy subjects, thereby exposing the patients to the dangers of adverse reactions to iodinated contrast agents and cancer induction from radiation exposure. Consensus document has been published for clinical guidance on when it is appropriate to …

The Ties That Bind? Regionalism, Commercial Treaties, And The Future Of Global Economic Integration, Chris Brummer

Vanderbilt Law Review

A revolutionary shift in international cooperation is underway. Many governments, frustrated with dissension hampering multilateral trade reform at the World Trade Organization ("WTO"), are now turning to bilateral and regional treaties to forward their commercial interests.1 Under these agreements, which rocketed from fewer than 390 in 1989 to more than 2,400 today,2 states have relinquished key aspects of their economic sovereignty to participate in two-party pacts and regional trade clubs like the North American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA") and the European Union ("EU"). As a result of such cooperation, most countries no longer may levy tariffs easily, subsidize their domestic …

Habitat Structure: A Fundamental Concept And Framework For Urban Soil Ecology, Loren Byrne

Arts & Sciences Faculty Publications

Habitat structure is defined as the composition and arrangement of physical matter at a location. Although habitat structure is the physical template underlying ecological patterns and processes, the concept is relatively unappreciated and underdeveloped in ecology. However, it provides a fundamental concept for urban ecology because human activities in urban ecosystems are often targeted toward management of habitat structure. In addition, the concept emphasizes the fine-scale, on-the-ground perspective needed in the study of urban soil ecology. To illustrate this, urban soil ecology research is summarized from the perspective of habitat structure effects. Among the key conclusions emerging from the literature …

Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Displays As Optical Sensors Of Barbiturate Binding, R. Carlisle Chambers, Elissa J. Bell, Tauni M. Records, Anna Cherian, Karen Ragan, Bonnie Swartout

Faculty Publications - Department of Biological & Molecular Science

The influence on the optical properties of cholesteric liquid crystal displays (LCDs) was examined for neutral molecule binding by mesogen/receptors in the mesomorphic phase. The motivation was to prepare neutral molecule sensors that use a colour change to signal analyte binding. A receptor that binds barbiturate analytes was modified with two or one cholesteryl groups to yield compounds 2 and 3, respectively. LCDs were prepared by incorporating one of the receptor/mesogen compounds into a cholesteric LC blend along with a potential Hbonding guest. The optical properties of the LCDs were then determined by measuring the absorbance of the displays. For …

John J. Janovy, Jr. Publications

The following new gregarine taxa are described from larvae of flour beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae): Awrygregarina billmani, n. gen., n. sp., from Tribolium brevicornis; Gregarina cloptoni, n. sp., from Tribolium freemani; Gregarina confusa, n. sp., from Tribolilum confusum; and Gregarina palori, n. sp., from Palorus subdepressus. In addition, the description of Gregarina minuta Ishii, 1914, from Tribolium castaneum, is emended. Scanning electron micrograph studies of these species’ oocysts reveal differences in surface architecture. The Gregarina species have oocysts with longitudinal ridges, visible with SEM, whereas Awrygregarina billmani oocysts have fine circumferential striations; …

High-Throughput Screening For Fatty Acid Uptake Inhibitors In Humanized Yeast Identifies Atypical Antipsychotic Drugs That Cause Dyslipidemias, Hong Li, Paul N. Black, Aalap Chokshi, Angel Sandoval-Alvarez, Ravi Vatsyayan, Whitney Sealls, Concetta Dirusso

Department of Biochemistry: Faculty Publications

Fatty acids are implicated in the development of dyslipidemias, leading to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. We used a standardized small compound library to screen humanized yeast to identify compounds that inhibit fatty acid transport protein (FATP)-mediated fatty acid uptake into cells. This screening procedure used live yeast cells expressing human FATP2 to identify small compounds that reduced the import of a fluorescent fatty acid analog, 4,4-difluoro-5-methyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene-3-dodecanoic acid (C1-BODIPY-C12). The library used consisted of 2,080 compounds with known biological activities. Of these, ~1.8% reduced cell-associated C1-BODIPY-C12 fluorescence and were selected as potential inhibitors of human FATP2- mediated fatty acid …

Bioluminescence Imaging For Assessment And Normalization In Transfected Cell Arrays, Angela K. Pannier, Eric A. Ariazi, Abigail D. Bellis, Zain Bengali, V. Craig Jordan, Lonnie D. Shea

Department of Agricultural and Biological Systems Engineering: Faculty Publications

Transfected cell arrays (TCAs) represent a high-throughput technique to correlate gene expression with functional cell responses. Despite advances in TCAs, improvements are needed for the widespread application of this technology. We have developed a TCA that combines a two-plasmid system and dual-bioluminescence imaging to quantitatively normalize for variability in transfection and increase sensitivity. The two-plasmids consist of: (i) normalization plasmid present within each spot, and (ii) functional plasmid that varies between spots, responsible for the functional endpoint of the array. Bioluminescence imaging of dual-luciferase reporters (renilla, firefly luciferase) provides sensitive and quantitative detection of cellular response, with minimal post-transfection processing. …
