Interactions Between Fmri Bold-Activation During Reading Tasks And Mrs-Measured Metabolite Levels, Hassana Aisha Ibrahim

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Recent studies in the field of dyslexia have used magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to explore neurochemical manifestations of neurobiological differences in the brains of dyslexic adults compared to controls. This study examines the potential relationship between functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) BOLD (blood oxygen level demand) activation scores in response to cognitive tasks and MRS-measured levels of a metabolite and a neurotransmitter, N-acetylaspartate (NAA) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) respectively, in the occipital region of brains of seven-year old children. Preliminary results from this multi-arm, longitudinal study indicate a significant positive correlation between fMRI BOLD signal elicited in response to picture-cues …

Sciatic Nerve Remyelination And Nodal Formation Following Olfactory Ensheathing Cell Transplantation, Mary A. Dombrowski

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Transplantation of olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) into injured spinal cord results in improved functional outcome through axonal regeneration, remyelination, and neuroprotection. However, because little is known of the fate of OECs transplanted into injured peripheral nerve, their myelin forming potential requires investigation. To study these issues OECs were isolated from the olfactory bulbs of adult green fluorescent protein (GFP)-expressing transgenic rats and transplanted into a sciatic nerve crush lesions. Five weeks to six months after transplantation the nerves were studied histologically and it was determined that GFP-expressing OECs survived in the lesion and distributed longitudinally across the lesion zone. Immunostaining …

Cadherin-Based Adhesion Molecules For Classification Of Melanoma With Aqua Technology, Gretchen Melaine Graff

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Cadherin and catenin-family proteins regulate adhesion in malignant melanoma. Using AQUA (Automated Quantitative Analysis) to quantitate the levels of alpha-catenin, beta-catenin, p120-catenin, N-cadherin, E-cadherin, and P-cadherin in melanoma on tissue microarrays (TMAs), we classified 513 patients by protein expression using hierarchical clustering and regression analysis. The dendrogram supported positive correlations seen upon Spearman rho analysis of P-cadherin and beta-catenin (r=0.5238, p<0.0001) and negative, weak association of N-cadherin with other markers. Patients with high expression of N-cadherin had the highest 20-year survival rate (p=0.0003). Our adherens protein molecular classification of melanoma defines at least two distinctive sub-populations of melanoma patients, those with high expression of N-cadherin and those with low expression who have decreased survival. These findings extend previous cDNA array-based findings of an epithelioid class and neural crest class of melanomas.

Inhibition Of Erbb2 And Thymidylate Synthase By A Multi-Targeted Small-Interfering Rna In Human Breast Cancer Cell Lines, Rebecca Stephanie Hunter

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

The therapeutic potential of a novel multi-targeted small-interfering RNA (siRNA) was investigated in human breast cancer cells. Previous studies had identified an siRNA that specifically and potently inhibited expression of thymidylate synthase (TS) by directly targeting human TS mRNA. TS is a folate-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the key reaction involved in synthesizing nucleotide precursors for DNA biosynthesis, and as such, it plays a critical role in maintaining cell growth. The goal of this thesis was to design and develop a novel siRNA molecule that targeted TS mRNA as well as a cellular mRNA that encodes a different cellular protein involved …

Bone Marrow Contribution To Renal Repair Following Ischemic Injury, Matthew Chandler Egalka

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

Repair of the mammalian renal tubular epithelium following ischemia/reperfusion injury is largely effected by surviving epithelial cells and other cells resident in the kidney interstitium; however, the precise nature of the contribution of circulating extrarenal cells is unknown. The purpose of this study is to determine whether bone marrow cells have the capacity to differentiate into renal tubular epithelium. This was investigated using both an ex vivo transplantation model as well as an attempt to grow epithelial cells from bone marrow in a liquid culture system. Recipient female C57BL/6 mice were myeloablated via irradiation and transplanted in-travenously with lineage-depleted syngeneic …
