St-Elevation Myocardial Infarction In The Elderly--Temporal Trends In Incidence, Utilization Of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention And Outcomes In The United States, Sahil Khera, Dhaval Kolte, Chandrasekar Palaniswamy, Marjan Mujib, Wilbert S. Aronow, Tarunjit Singh, William Gotsis, Gary Silverman, William H. Frishman

NYMC Faculty Publications

BACKGROUND: Elderly patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are often underrepresented in major percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) trials. Use of PCI for STEMI, and associated outcomes in patients aged ≥65 years with STEMI needed further investigation. METHODS: We used the 2001-2010 United States Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) database to examine the temporal trends in STEMI, use of PCI for STEMI, and outcomes among patients aged 65-79 and ≥80 years. RESULTS: During 2001-2010, of 4,017,367 patients aged ≥65 years with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 1,434,579 (35.7%) had STEMI. Over this period, among patients aged 65-79 and ≥80 years, STEMI decreased by …

Tpl2 Kinase Regulates Fcγr Signaling And Immune Thrombocytopenia In Mice, Irene Kyrmizi, Marianna Ioannou, Maria Hatziapostolou, Philip N. Tsichlis, Dimitrios T. Boumpas, Ioannis Tassiulas

NYMC Faculty Publications

The MAPK3 Tpl2 controls innate and adaptive immunity by regulating TLR, TNF-α, and GPCR signaling in a variety of cell types. Its ablation gives rise to an anti-inflammatory phenotype characterized by resistance to LPS-induced endotoxin shock, DSS-induced colitis, and TNF-α-induced IBD. Here, we address the role of Tpl2 in autoimmunity. Our data show that the ablation and the pharmacological inhibition of Tpl2 protect mice from antiplatelet antibody-induced thrombocytopenia, a model of ITP. Thrombocytopenia in this model and in ITP is caused by phagocytosis of platelets opsonized with antiplatelet antibodies and depends on FcγR activation in splenic and hepatic myeloid cells. …

Bradykinin B2 Receptor In The Adrenal Medulla Of Male Rats And Mice: Glucocorticoid-Dependent Increase With Immobilization Stress, Regina Nostramo, Andrej Tillinger, Lidia Serova, Richard Kvetnansky, Esther L. Sabban

NYMC Faculty Publications

Bradykinin, acting via the bradykinin B2 receptor (B2R), is a potent stimulator of adrenomedullary catecholamine biosynthesis and release and likely plays an important role in the adrenomedullary stress response. However, the effects of stress on the expression of this receptor in the adrenal medulla are currently unclear. Here, we examined the changes in adrenomedullary B2R gene expression in male rats in response to single (1 time) and repeated (6 times) exposure to 2 hours immobilization stress (IMO). Immediately after 1 or 6 times IMO, B2R mRNA levels were increased by 9-fold and 7-fold, respectively, and returned to unstressed control levels …

Src Family Protein Tyrosine Kinase Regulates The Basolateral K Channel In The Distal Convoluted Tubule (Dct) By Phosphorylation Of Kcnj10 Protein, Chengbiao Zhang, Lijun Wang, Sherin Thomas, Kemeng Wang, Dao-Hong Lin, Jesse Rinehart, Wen-Hui Wang

NYMC Faculty Publications

The loss of function of the basolateral K channels in the distal nephron causes electrolyte imbalance. The aim of this study is to examine the role of Src family protein tyrosine kinase (SFK) in regulating K channels in the basolateral membrane of the mouse initial distal convoluted tubule (DCT1). Single-channel recordings confirmed that the 40-picosiemen (pS) K channel was the only type of K channel in the basolateral membrane of DCT1. The suppression of SFK reversibly inhibited the basolateral 40-pS K channel activity in cell-attached patches and decreased the Ba(2+)-sensitive whole-cell K currents in DCT1. Inhibition of SFK also shifted …

Scholarly Publishing Across The Disciplines: Interviews With Geneseo Faculty, Katharine Pitcher, Elizabeth Argentieri, Sue Ann Brainard, Joseph Easterly, Kimberly Hoffman, Bonnie Swoger, Tracy Paradis

Milne Library

Recent developments in academic research and publishing have presented faculty with many challenges and opportunities. As Geneseo faculty sought help from Milne librarians on these issues, it became apparent that if we wanted to meet faculty needs we had to investigate how faculty were researching and publishing in the changing environment. To answer these questions, librarians from Milne interviewed eighty-seven Geneseo professors during the 2010-2011 and part of 2011-2012 academic years. The responses were compiled and analyzed after identifying information was removed. Librarians at Milne prepared reports focused on overarching themes that surfaced again and again in the interviews: Undergraduate …

Overweight And Obesity: Can We Reconcile Evidence About Supermarkets And Fast Food Retailers For Public Health Policy?, Deborah Viola, Peter S. Arno, Andrew R. Maroko, Clyde B. Schechter, Nancy Sohler, Andrew Rundle, Kathryn M. Neckerman, Juliana Maantay

NYMC Faculty Publications

The aim of this study is to determine whether access to fast food outlets and supermarkets is associated with overweight and obesity in New York City neighborhoods. We use a Bayesian ecologic approach for spatial prediction. Consistent with prior research, we find no association between fast food density and overweight or obesity. Consistent with prior research, we find that supermarket access has a salutary impact on overweight and obesity. Given the lack of empirical evidence linking fast food retailers with adverse health outcomes, policymakers should be encouraged to adopt policies that incentivize the establishment of supermarkets and the modification of …

Physical, Behavioral, And Psychological Traits Of Gay Men Identifying As Bears, David A. Moskowitz, Jonathan Turrubiates, Hector Lozano, Christopher Hajek

NYMC Faculty Publications

The Bear community exists as a subculture in reaction to the larger gay community. It rejects the normative idealized male beauty revered by mainstream gay men. While qualitative data document such self-identifiers as masculine-acting gay men who weigh more and have more body hair, there has to date been no quantitative analysis of this group's characteristics. In response, we conducted two large-scale studies of gay men identifying as Bears (n = 469) to survey their self-reported physical, behavioral, and psychological traits. Our studies indicated that Bears were more likely to be hairier, heavier, and shorter than mainstream gay men. They …

Newly hired faculty and experienced search committee and department chairs shared information on how to create competitive applications. Students and postdoctoral associates were also provided with individualized feedback on their faculty application packages. Survey data were collected for all participants, and these data are presented in this paper along with tips shared during the workshop and information collected from the …

Resveratrol And Its Metabolites Modulate Cytokine-Mediated Induction Of Eotaxin-1 In Human Pulmonary Artery Endothelial Cells, Joseph M. Wu, Tze-Chen Hsieh, Ching-Jen Yang, Susan C. Olson

NYMC Faculty Publications

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of death in many developed countries. Evidence has long implicated endothelial injury and inflammation as apical events in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, the primary cause of CHD. Numerous risk factors contribute to a damaged, inflamed endothelium. Conversely, cardioprotective agents targeting the dysfunctional endothelium have also been identified, notably from dietary sources. We have used cultured human pulmonary artery endothelial cells (HPAECs) to test the diet-mediated cardioprotective hypothesis. In this review, we summarize our recent findings on control of transcription and expression of inflammation biomarker eotaxin-1 in HPAECs exposed to single or combined …

Β-Adrenergic Blockade In Cardiovascular Disease, William H. Frishman

NYMC Faculty Publications

The development and subsequent clinical application of the β-adrenergic receptor blocking drugs represent one of the major advances in human pharmacotherapeutics. No other class of synthetic drugs has demonstrated such widespread therapeutic utility for the treatment and prevention of so many cardiovascular diseases. In addition, these drugs have proven to be molecular probes that have contributed to our understanding of the disease, and on the molecular level, both the structure and function of the 7 transmembrane G protein receptors that mediate the actions of many different hormones, neurotransmitters, and drugs. The evolution of β-blocker drug development has led to refinements …

Transcriptome Profiling Of Hippocampal Ca1 After Early-Life Seizure-Induced Preconditioning May Elucidate New Genetic Therapies For Epilepsy, L K. Friedman, J Mancuso, A Patel, V Kudur, J R. Leheste, S Iacobas, J Botta, D A. Iacobas, D C. Spray

NYMC Faculty Publications

Injury of the CA1 subregion induced by a single injection of kainic acid (1 × KA) in juvenile animals (P20) is attenuated in animals with two prior sustained neonatal seizures on P6 and P9. To identify gene candidates involved in the spatially protective effects produced by early-life conditioning seizures we profiled and compared the transcriptomes of CA1 subregions from control, 1 × KA- and 3 × KA-treated animals. More genes were regulated following 3 × KA (9.6%) than after 1 × KA (7.1%). Following 1 × KA, genes supporting oxidative stress, growth, development, inflammation and neurotransmission were upregulated (e.g. Cacng1, …

Concise Review: Endothelial Stem And Progenitor Cells And Their Habitats, Michael S. Goligorsky, Petri Salven

NYMC Faculty Publications

Recent studies on the stem cell origins of regenerating tissues have provided solid evidence in support of the role of the resident cells, rather than bone marrow-derived or transplanted stem cells, in restoring tissue architecture after an injury. This is also true for endothelial stem and progenitor cells: local pools exist in the vascular wall, and those cells are the primary drivers of vascular regeneration. This paradigm shift offers an opportunity to rethink and refine our understanding of the multiple therapeutic effects of transplanted endothelial progenitor cells, focusing on their secretome, sheddome, intercellular communicational routes, and other potential ways to …
