Cd34(+) Therapy-Related Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia In A Patient Previously Treated For Breast Cancer, John Savooji, Fouzia Shakil, Humayun Islam, Delong Liu, Karen Seiter

NYMC Faculty Publications

Therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a long term complication of chemotherapy for a variety of cancers. In most cases, the marrow demonstrates high risk cytogenetics and the prognosis is poor. In a minority of patients "good risk" cytogenetics, including t(15;17)(q22;q12), are seen and the patient's prognosis is similar to those who have de novo disease. Currently we present a patient who developed therapy-related acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) after chemoradiotherapy for breast cancer. This case was especially atypical because the leukemic cells were CD34(+), which is an unusual immunophenotype for APL. Recognition that this patient had APL, rather than the …

A Functional Bacterium-To-Plant Dna Transfer Machinery Of Rhizobium Etli, Benoît Lacroix, Vitaly Citovsky

Biochemistry & Cell Biology Faculty Publications

Different strains and species of the soil phytopathogen Agrobacterium possess the ability to transfer and integrate a segment of DNA (T-DNA) into the genome of their eukaryotic hosts, which is mainly mediated by a set of virulence (vir) genes located on the bacterial Ti-plasmid that also contains the T-DNA. To date, Agrobacterium is considered to be unique in its capacity to mediate genetic transformation of eukaryotes. However, close homologs of the virgenes are encoded by the p42a plasmid of Rhizobium etli; this microorganism is related toAgrobacterium, but known only as a symbiotic bacterium that …

The Theory Of Fields And Its Application To Corporate Governance, Neil Fligstein

Seattle University Law Review

My goal here is twofold. First, I want to introduce the theory of strategic action fields to the law audience. The main idea in field theory in sociology is that most social action occurs in social arenas where actors know one another and take one another into account in their action. Scholars use the field construct to make sense of how and why social orders emerge, reproduce, and transform. Underlying this formulation is the idea that a field is an ongoing game where actors have to understand what others are doing in order to frame their actions. Second, I want …

Integrative Analyses Reveal Signaling Pathways Underlying Familial Breast Cancer Susceptibility, Stephen R. Piccolo, Laura M. Hoffman, Thomas Conner, Gajendra Shrestha, Adam L. Cohen, Jeffrey R. Marks, Leigh A. Neumayer, Cori A. Agarwal, Mary C. Beckerle, Irene L. Andrulis, Avrum E. Spira, Philip J. Moos, Saundra S. Buys, William Evan Johnson, Andrea H. Bild

The signaling events that drive familial breast cancer (FBC) risk remain poorly understood. While the majority of genomic studies have focused on genetic risk variants, known risk variants account for at most 30% of FBC cases. Considering that multiple genes may influence FBC risk, we hypothesized that a pathway‐based strategy examining different data types from multiple tissues could elucidate the biological basis for FBC. In this study, we performed integrated analyses of gene expression and exome‐sequencing data from peripheral blood mononuclear cells and showed that cell adhesion pathways are significantly and consistently dysregulated in women who develop FBC. The dysregulation …

Kin Discrimination In Dictyostelium Social Amoebae, Joan E. Strassmann

Biology Faculty Research

Presentation delivered at the symposium Evidence of Taxa, Clone, and Kin Discrimination in Protists: Ecological and Evolutionary Implications, VII European Congress of Protistology, University of Seville, 5–10 September 2015, Seville Spain.

Evolved cooperation is stable only when the benefactor is compensated, either directly or through its relatives. Social amoebae cooperate by forming a mobile multicellular body in which, about 20% of participants ultimately die to form a stalk. This benefits the remaining individuals that become hardy spores at the top of the stalk, together making up the fruiting body. In studied species with stalked migration, P. violaceum, D. purpureum, and …

Sustainable Drainage Systems: Helping People Live With Water, Glyn Everett, Jessica Lamond, Anita T. Morzillo, Faith Ka Shun Chan, Annie Marissa Matsler

Urban Studies and Planning Faculty Publications and Presentations

Sustainable drainage systems or ‘Suds’ are increasingly accepted as an effective means of ‘making space for water’, adapting to possible climate change and helping communities become more flood and drought resilient. This study explores potential shifts in perception and attitude through Suds installation, development and habituation. Attitudes and awareness in communities in the USA and UK, where Suds have been in place for some time, were compared and contrasted, examining any evolution of beliefs and practices and wider community resilience. The principal finding was that there existed a lack of understanding about the existence and function of Suds. The paper …

A Continuous Correlated Beta Process Model For Genetic Ancestry In Admixed Populations, Zachariah Gompert

Biology Faculty Publications

Admixture and recombination create populations and genomes with genetic ancestry from multiple source populations. Analyses of genetic ancestry in admixed populations are relevant for trait and disease mapping, studies of speciation, and conservation efforts. Consequently, many methods have been developed to infer genome-average ancestry and to deconvolute ancestry into continuous local ancestry blocks or tracts within individuals. Current methods for local ancestry inference perform well when admixture occurred recently or hybridization is ongoing, or when admixture occurred in the distant past such that local ancestry blocks have fixed in the admixed population. However, methods to infer local ancestry frequencies in …

Design, Synthesis, And Evaluation Of Chitosan Conjugated Ggrgdsk Peptides As A Cancer Cell-Targeting Molecular Transporter, Naglaa Salem El-Sayed, Amir Nasrolahi Shirazi, Magda Goda El-Meligy, Ahmed Kamel El-Ziaty, Zenat A. Nagieb, Keykavous Parang, Rakesh Tiwari

Pharmacy Faculty Articles and Research

Targeting cancer cells using integrin receptor is one of the promising targeting strategies in drug delivery. In this study, we conjugated an integrin-binding ligand (GGRGDSK) peptide to chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) using (sulfo-SMCC) bifunctional linker affording COS-SMCC-GGRGDSK. The conjugated polymer was characterized by FT-IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and SEM. COS-SMCC-GGRGDSK did not show cytotoxicity up to a concentration of 1 mg/mL in the human leukemia cell line (CCRF-CEM). The conjugate was evaluated for its ability to enhance the cellular uptake of cell-impermeable cargoes (e.g., FAM and F′-G(pY)EEI phosphopeptide) in CCRF-CEM, and human ovarian carcinoma (SK-OV-3) cancer …

Î?- Lactam-Induced Changes In Cell Wall Composition And Autolytic Properties Of Daptomycin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, Michael Krzyskowski

Theses and Dissertations

Staphylococcus aureus is a major human pathogen that is well known for its ability to develop resistance to antimicrobial therapies. Recent studies have identified a combination of β-lactam antibiotic and daptomycin (DAP) to be highly effective at killing single and multi-drug-resistant S. aureus. Of particular interest is this drug combinationâ??s efficiency with which it kills strains classified as DAP-resistant methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (DAP-R MRSA). The goals of the present study were two-fold: to provide a physiological profile of a DAP-R S. aureus strain undergoing beta-lactam treatment by observing changes in autolytic rate, susceptibility to lytic enzymes, levels of peptidoglycan O-acetylation, …

The Design Of A Simple, Spiking Sparse Coding Algorithm For Memristive Hardware, Walt Woods

Dissertations and Theses

Calculating a sparse code for signals with high dimensionality, such as high-resolution images, takes substantial time to compute on a traditional computer architecture. Memristors present the opportunity to combine storage and computing elements into a single, compact device, drastically reducing the area required to perform these calculations. This work focused on the analysis of two existing sparse coding architectures, one of which utilizes memristors, as well as the design of a new, third architecture that employs a memristive crossbar. These architectures implement either a non-spiking or spiking variety of sparse coding based on the Locally Competitive Algorithm (LCA) introduced by …

Growing Stem Education On The Playground: A Case Study Of The Factors That Influence Teachers’ Use Of School Gardens, Megan Poole

Dissertations and Theses

School gardens can have a profound, positive influence on a student's academic achievement, social skills, and attitudinal orientation. Despite these clear benefits, the use of school gardens as an instructional medium is not as prevalent as would be expected. There are several types of obstacles that can prevent teachers from using school gardens, including facets of time, support, and knowledge-based challenges. This multiple case study employs a mixed methods design to uncover factors that influence primary school teachers' decisions to utilize a school garden in their STEM curriculum. The goals of this study were to determine the types of benefits …

Selectively Permeable Microbial Nanoculture System As Artificial Microniches, Tagbo Niepa

Amgen Seminar Series in Chemical Engineering

Microfluidics-based approaches for isolating microbes, replicating their microenvironments and growth conditions can provide new platforms to elucidate many fundamental biological questions. For instance, the spatial confinement of microorganisms in microcompartments can spawn new insights on the inherent advantages of cell clustering and biofilm formation in microbial survival and virulence mechanisms. As the worldwide antibiotic crisis persists, there is an urgent need for emerging technologies that enable the scrutiny of the evolution of multidrug resistance, and facilitate the study of cooperative or antagonistic microbial interactions. Here we describe a method to generate artificial multifunctional microniches in order to encapsulate and interrogate …
