Nitrogen Loading Leads To Increased Carbon Accretion In Both Invaded And Uninvaded Coastal Wetlands, Jason P. Martina, William S. Currie, Deborah E. Goldberg, Kenneth J. Elgersma

Faculty Work

Gaining a better understanding of carbon (C) dynamics across the terrestrial and aquatic landscapes has become a major research initiative in ecosystem ecology. Wetlands store a large portion of the global soil C, but are also highly dynamic ecosystems in terms of hydrology and N cycling, and are one of the most invaded habitats worldwide. The interactions between these factors are likely to determine wetland C cycling, and specifically C accretion rates. We investigated these interactions using MONDRIAN, an individual-based model simulating plant growth and competition and linking these processes to N and C cycling. We simulated the effects of …

In an earlier study we demonstrated that hydroxyapatite nanoparticles coated with chitosan-poly(d,l)-lactide-co-glycolide (HAp/Ch-PLGA) target lungs following their intravenous injection into mice. In this study we utilize an emulsification process and freeze drying to load the composite HAp/Ch-PLGA particles with 17β-hydroxy-17α-picolyl-androst-5-en-3β-yl-acetate (A), a chemotherapeutic derivative of androstane and a novel compound with a selective anticancer activity against lung cancer cells. ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR techniques confirmed the intact structure of the derivative A following its entrapment within HAp/Ch-PLGA particles. The thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses coupled with mass spectrometry were used to assess the …

A Pretargeted Approach For The Multimodal Pet/Nirf Imaging Of Colorectal Cancer, Pierre Adumeau, Kathryn E. Carnazza, Christian Brand, Sean D. Carlin, Thomas Reiner, Brian J. Agnew, Jason S. Lewis, Brian M. Zeglis

Publications and Research

The complementary nature of positron emission tomography (PET) and near-infrared fluorescence (NIRF) imaging makes the development of strategies for the multimodal PET/NIRF imaging of cancer a very enticing prospect. Indeed, in the context of colorectal cancer, a single multimodal PET/NIRF imaging agent could be used to stage the disease, identify candidates for surgical intervention, and facilitate the image-guided resection of the disease. While antibodies have proven to be highly effective vectors for the delivery of radioisotopes and fluorophores to malignant tissues, the use of radioimmunoconjugates labeled with long-lived nuclides such as 89Zr poses two important clinical complications: high radiation doses …

Transitions In Morphologies, Fluid Regimes, And Feeding Mechanisms During Development Of The Medusa Lychnorhiza Lucerna, Renato M. Nagata, André C. Morandini, Sean Colin, Alvaro E. Migotto, John H. Costello

Arts & Sciences Faculty Publications

The early ontogeny of scyphomedusae involves morphological and functional transitions in body plans that affect the predators' propulsive and feeding strategies. We applied highspeed videography digital particle image velocimetry (DPIV), and dye visualization techniques to evaluate alterations in swimming and feeding mechanisms during ontogeny of the rhizostome medusa Lychnorhiza lucerna Haeckel, 1880 (Scyphozoa, Rhizostomeae). During early ontogeny the ephyral mouth lips develop into complex filtering structures along the oral arms. The viscous environments (Reynolds number < 100) experienced by ephyrae constrain the feeding mechanisms that transport fluid during ephyral bell pulsations. In contrast, adult medusan fluid flows are dominated by inertial forces, and bell pulsations effectively transport fluids and entrained prey toward the oral arms. The oral arm surfaces are covered by motile epidermal cilia that drive these entrained flows through filtering gaps in the oral arms where food particles are retained. In addition to this process within the oral arms, vortices generated during bell pulsation flow downstream along the outside of the medusae and continuously transport prey toward the exterior oral arm surfaces. Although calanoid copepods are capable of escape velocities that greatly exceed L. lucerna's feeding current speeds, copepods often fail to detect the predator's feeding currents or inadvertently jump into medusan capture surfaces during failed escape attempts. Consequently, the comparatively weak predator feeding currents successfully capture a portion of the copepods encountered by swimming medusae. These results clarify the processes that enable rhizostome medusae to play key roles as consumers in tropical and subtropical coastal environments.

N-Acetylcysteine In Combination With Igf-1 Enhances Neuroprotection Against Proteasome Dysfunction-Induced Neurotoxicity In Sh-Sy5y Cells, Benxu Cheng, Pinki Anand, Anxiu Kuang, Feroz Akhtar, Virginia L. Scofield

School of Medicine Publications

Ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) dysfunction has been implicated in the development of many neuronal disorders, including Parkinson’s disease (PD). Previous studies focused on individual neuroprotective agents and their respective abilities to prevent neurotoxicity following a variety of toxic insults. However, the effects of the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on proteasome impairment-induced apoptosis have not been well characterized in human neuronal cells. The aim of this study was to determine whether cotreatment of NAC and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) efficiently protected against proteasome inhibitor-induced cytotoxicity in SH-SY5Y cells. Our results demonstrate that the proteasome inhibitor, MG132, initiates poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) cleavage, caspase …

Crossing The Suspension Bridge: Navigating The Road From School Suspension To College Success – How Some Students Have Overcome The Negative Implications Of School Suspension To Bridge The Road To College, Chris J. Kirkman, Heather Mcnees, Jaimie Stickl, Justin H. Banner, Kimberly K. Hewitt

Journal of Organizational & Educational Leadership

Out-of-school suspensions for middle and high school students can have negative, long-lasting consequences. Researchers have documented that suspensions have a negative impact on academic development, increase likelihood of dropping out of school, and are associated with a stronger likelihood that students will be involved in the legal system. However, there are students who overcome these negative statistics and matriculate to post-secondary education successfully. This study examines the lived experiences and personal attributes in students’ lives that enabled them to overcome a history of suspension to enter and succeed in higher education. Using Bronfenbrenner’s ecological model, the study’s researchers interviewed individuals …

An Assessment Of The Human Papillomavirus Immunization Knowledge, Practices, And Prevention Among A Cohort Of Urban College Students, Nancy H. Busen Phd, Fnp-Bc, Aprn, Robert G. Hanks Phd, Rn, Fnp, Aprn, Eileen R. Giardino Phd, Rn, Aprn, Fnp, Stanley Cron Msph

Journal of Nursing & Interprofessional Leadership in Quality & Safety

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted disease, yet little is known about the college-age knowledge and prevention practices related to HPV. Although sample vaccination rates mirrored national known vaccination rates, a majority of participants did not complete the three dose vaccine schedule. HPV knowledge was similar between males and females while males were more likely to engage in preventative practices. This information can help healthcare providers reinforce vaccination schedule and prevention practices.

The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV) in 2002 and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) in 2012 has generated enormous interest in the biodiversity, genomics and cross-species transmission potential of coronaviruses, especially those from bats, the second most speciose order of mammals. Herein, we identified a novel coronavirus, provisionally designated Rousettus bat coronavirus GCCDC1 (Ro-BatCoV GCCDC1), in the rectal swab samples of Rousettus leschenaulti bats by using pan-coronavirus RT-PCR and next-generation sequencing. Although the virus is similar to Rousettus bat coronavirus HKU9 (Ro-BatCoV HKU9) in genome characteristics, it is sufficiently distinct to be classified as a new …

Protection Of Cells From Alu-Rna-Induced Degeneration And Inhibitors For Protecting Cells, Jayakrishna Ambati, Valeria Tarallo

Ophthalmology and Visual Science Faculty Patents

A method of protecting a cell includes inhibiting an inflammasome, MyD88, IL-18, VDAC1, VDAC2, caspase-8, and/or NFκB of the cell. Administering an inhibitor of MyD88, IL-18, VDAC1, VDAC2, caspase-8, and/or NFκB can protect the cell from Alu-RNA-induced degeneration. Protecting a cell, such as an retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), can be therapeutically useful in the context of age-related macular degeneration and geographic atrophy.

The Small Gtpase Mosec4 Is Involved In Vegetative Development And Pathogenicity By Regulating The Extracellular Protein Secretion In Magnaporthe Oryzae, Huakun Zheng, Simiao Chen, Xiaofeng Chen, Shuyan Liu, Xie Dang, Chengdong Yang, Martha C. Giraldo, Ely Oliveira-Garcia, Jie Zhou, Zonghua Wang, Barbara Valent

Faculty Publications

The Rab GTPase proteins play important roles in the membrane trafficking, and consequently protein secretion and development of eukaryotic organisms. However, little is known about the function of Rab GTPases in Magnaporthe oryzae. To further explore the function of Rab GTPases, we deleted the ortholog of the yeast Sec4p protein in M. oryzae, namely MoSEC4. The ΔMosec4 mutant is defective in polarized growth and conidiation, and it displays decreased appressorium turgor pressure and attenuated pathogenicity. Notably, the biotrophic invasive hyphae produced in rice cells are more bulbous and compressed in the ΔMosec4 mutant. Further studies showed that deletion of the …
