You Don't Need Any Special Talent To Join Fight Against Hunger, Terri Susan Fine

UCF Forum

The United Nations itself had not yet been officially established when its own Food and Agriculture Organization was formed, even though it was by just a few days. The U.N. was established Oct. 24, 1945, just eight days following the establishment of the Food and Agriculture Organization, and it was not until 1948 that the international body ratified its Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Drug Delivery Device For Ovarian Cancer, Arun Kumar, Susana K. Lai-Yuen, Shyam S. Mohapatra

USF Patents

A drug delivery device has been designed to directly deliver an agent to the ovaries through direct contact with the fallopian tubes. The device consists of three main components: a tubular inserter, a cylindrical chamber and a plunger. The device is a single-use applicator designed in a shape similar to a tampon to facilitate its insertion through the vagina and into the uterus. Positioning of the device centrally in the uterus is accomplished through the use of ultrasound. The chamber is inserted into the tubular inserter. Adjusting the length of the chamber inserted into the tubular inserter controls the amount …

Social And Economic Consequences Of Climate Change In Pakistan, Ishrat Husain Dr.

Faculty Research - Talks, Speeches, & Discourse

The recently concluded review of the Millennium Development Goals (MGDs) shows that if the international community and its various stakeholders put their minds, resources and energy together for common shared cause, success is possible. Enormous progress has been made by mankind by reducing poverty from 47 percent to 15 percent within a span of 25 years. This example provides an auspicious setting for the possibilities at the Paris Climate Change Conference to be held in November 2015. The journey from COP in Berlin to COP21 in Paris has not been a smooth ride. The period was dominated by debate between …

Procédures Et Évaluation Du Potentiel Pro-Inflammatoire Des Nanoparticules, Valérie Lavastre, David Gonçalves, Denis Girard

Rapports de recherche scientifique

Plusieurs pays industrialisés, incluant le Canada, ont opté pour le développement des nanotechnologies étant donné le grand potentiel économique que cela représente. Au Québec, de nombreuses entreprises de production de nanoparticules (NP) sont déjà implantées et il y a fort à parier que d’autres suivront ce mouvement d’ici peu. Ce faisant, le nombre de travailleurs œuvrant dans les domaines des nanotechnologies en général ou dans la fabrication et synthèse des NP augmentera grandement dans les prochaines années. Il est donc capital de prévenir le développement de maladies et d'accidents du travail reliés aux NP dont la cause est souvent d'ordre …

Investigation Of Potential Early Histologic Markers Of Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Julie A. Bass, Craig A. Friesen, Amanda D. Deacy, Nancy Neilan, Julia M. Bracken, Valentina Shakhnovich, Vivekanand Singh

Manuscripts, Articles, Book Chapters and Other Papers

© 2015 Bass et al. Background: Early manifestations of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can be relatively nonspecific. Initial mucosal biopsies may not be conclusive, delaying the diagnosis until subsequent biopsies demonstrate typical histologic features of IBD. We hypothesized that certain inflammatory cell types may be utilized as early histologic indicators of IBD in children. Methods: A retrospective analysis compared histologic findings from initially inconclusive or negative endoscopic studies in 22 patients who were subsequently diagnosed with IBD (after diagnostic endoscopy) to those of 20 comparison patients with functional abdominal pain matched for age, gender, and study type. A pediatric …

Association Of Adipokines With Insulin Resistance, Microvascular Dysfunction, And Endothelial Dysfunction In Healthy Young Adults., Cindy Cheng, Md, Phd, Constantine Daskalakis

Department of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics Faculty Papers

Proinflammatory adipokines (inflammation markers) from visceral adipose tissue may initiate the development of insulin resistance (IR) and endothelial dysfunction (ED). This study's objective was to investigate the association of five inflammation markers (CRP and four adipokines: IL-6, TNFα, PAI-1, and adiponectin) with IR (quantitative insulin resistance check index (QUICKI)), microvascular measures (capillary density and albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR)), and endothelial measures (forearm blood flow (FBF) increases from resting baseline to maximal vasodilation). Analyses were conducted via multiple linear regression. The 295 study participants were between 18 and 45 years of age, without diabetes or hypertension. They included 24% African Americans and …

Mitochondrial Mass, A New Metabolic Biomarker For Stem-Like Cancer Cells: Understanding Wnt/Fgf-Driven Anabolic Signaling., Rebecca Lamb, Gloria Bonuccelli, Béla Ozsvári, Maria Peiris-Pagès, Marco Fiorillo, Duncan L Smith, Generoso Bevilacqua, Chiara Maria Mazzanti, Liam A Mcdonnell, Antonio Giuseppe Naccarato, Maybo Chiu, Luke Wynne, Ubaldo E Martinez-Outschoorn, Federica Sotgia, Michael P. Lisanti

Kimmel Cancer Center Faculty Papers

Here, we developed an isogenic cell model of "stemness" to facilitate protein biomarker discovery in breast cancer. For this purpose, we used knowledge gained previously from the study of the mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV). MMTV initiates mammary tumorigenesis in mice by promoter insertion adjacent to two main integration sites, namely Int-1 (Wnt1) and Int-2 (Fgf3), which ultimately activates Wnt/β-catenin signaling, driving the propagation of mammary cancer stem cells (CSCs). Thus, to develop a humanized model of MMTV signaling, we over-expressed WNT1 and FGF3 in MCF7 cells, an ER(+) human breast cancer cell line. We then validated that MCF7 cells …

Structure Based Drug Design Targeting Bacterial Antibiotic Resistance And Alzheimer's Disease, Eric Michael Lewandowski

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Structure based drug design is a rapidly advancing discipline that examines how protein targets structurally interact with small molecules, or known inhibitors, and then uses this information to lead inhibitor optimization efforts. In the case of novel inhibitors, protein structural information is first obtained via X-ray crystallography, NMR studies, or a combination of both approaches. Then, computational molecular docking is often used to screen, in silico, millions of small molecules and calculate the potential interactions they may have with the target protein’s binding pocket, in hopes of identifying novel low affinity inhibitors. By examining the interactions these small, low affinity, …

Gsk-3Β Regulates Tumor Growth And Angiogenesis In Human Glioma Cells., Peng Zhao, Qi Li, Zhumei Shi, Charlie Li, Lin Wang, Xue Liu, Chengfei Jiang, Xu Qian, Yongping You, Ning Liu, Ling-Zhi Liu, Lianshu Ding, Bing-Hua Jiang

Department of Pathology, Anatomy, and Cell Biology Faculty Papers

BACKGROUND: Glioma accounts for the majority of primary malignant brain tumors in adults.

METHODS: Glioma specimens and normal brain tissues were analyzed for the expression levels of GSK-3β and p-GSK-3β (Ser9) by tissue microarray analysis (TMA) and Western blotting. Glioma cells over-expressing GSK-3β were used to analyze biological functions both in vitro and in vivo.

RESULTS: The levels of p-GSK-3β (Ser9), but not total GSK-3β, are significantly up-regulated in glioma tissues compared to normal tissues, and are significantly correlated with the glioma grades. Ectopic expression of GSK-3β decreased the phosphorylation levels of mTOR and p70S6K1; and inhibited β-catenin, HIF-1α and …

Motifs Of Vdac2 Required For Mitochondrial Bak Import And Tbid-Induced Apoptosis., Shamim Naghdi, Péter Várnai, György Hajnóczky

Department of Pathology, Anatomy, and Cell Biology Faculty Papers

Voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) proteins are major components of the outer mitochondrial membrane. VDAC has three isoforms with >70% sequence similarity and redundant roles in metabolite and ion transport. However, only Vdac2(-/-) (V2(-/-)) mice are embryonic lethal, indicating a unique and fundamental function of VDAC2 (V2). Recently, a specific V2 requirement was demonstrated for mitochondrial Bak import and truncated Bid (tBid)-induced apoptosis. To determine the relevant domain(s) of V2 involved, VDAC1 (V1) and V2 chimeric constructs were created and used to rescue V2(-/-) fibroblasts. Surprisingly, the commonly cited V2-specific N-terminal extension and cysteines were found to be dispensable for Bak …

Dynamic Ubiquitination Drives Herpesvirus Neuroinvasion, Nicholas J. Huffmaster, Patricia J. Sollars, Alexsia L. Richards, Gary E. Pickard, Gregory A. Smith

School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences: Faculty Publications

Neuroinvasive herpesviruses display a remarkable propensity to enter the nervous system of healthy individuals in the absence of obvious trauma at the site of inoculation. We document a repurposing of cellular ubiquitin during infection to switch the virus between two invasive states. The states act sequentially to defeat consecutive host barriers of the peripheral nervous system and together promote the potent neuroinvasive phenotype. The first state directs virus access to nerve endings in peripheral tissue, whereas the second delivers virus particles within nerve fibers to the neural ganglia. Mutant viruses locked in either state remain competent to overcome the corresponding …

A Consortium Level Approach To Reducing Ventilator Dependence, Adam P. Johnson, Md, Mph, Vanessa Thompson, Phd, Randi E. Altmark, Rn, Bsn, Scott W. Cowan, Md, Henry A. Pitt, Md, Vanita Ahuja, Md

Department of Surgery Faculty Papers

Significance Statement

We found that all but two institutions in our consortium were poor performing outliers for ventilator dependence, defined as on the ventilator greater than 48 hours. Ventilator dependence is a rare occurrence, so our goal was to identify those patients at highest risk and develop best practices to share for the region.
