Perivascular macrophages (PVMs) and, to a lesser degree, microglia are targets and reservoirs of HIV and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) in the brain. Previously, we demonstrated that colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) in PVMs was upregulated and activated in chronically SIV-infected rhesus macaques with encephalitis, correlating with SIV infection of PVMs. Herein, we investigated the role of CSF1R in the brain during acute SIV infection using BLZ945, a brain-penetrant CSF1R kinase inhibitor. Apart from three uninfected historic controls, nine Indian rhesus macaques were infected acutely with SIVmac251 and divided into three groups (n = 3 each): an untreated control and …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Infections are the leading cause of burn related deaths worldwide. These infections not only complicate micro-environment of a burn wound, but further obscure the wound due to the formation of biofilms at the wound site. Local drug delivery (LDD) has been a highly researched solution due to its advantages in locally treating and preventing infection while avoiding systemic side effects. LDD systems also have advantages for complex wounds, like burns. Chitosan is a natural polymer that is often used in these systems due to its biodegradability, biocompatibility and versatility. Previous research has suggested that short chain unsaturated fatty acids, for …

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Urinary catheters made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are susceptible to microbial biofilm formation. 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-H2DA) is a dispersal signaling molecule that inhibits biofilm and planktonic growth of microorganisms. This study hypothesized that coating PVC with 10-H2DA would inhibit planktonic and biofilm-associated Candida albicans. Interactions of the PVC and 10-H2DA molecules were analyzed using Video Contact Angle (VCA), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Successful coating of PVC with 10-H2DA was demonstrated through a significantly lowered contact angle and FTIR peaks in regions indicative of the 10-H2DA on the surface of PVC. Elution data displays a burst …


Long Time Behavior Of Wave And Plate Equations, Madhumita Roy Jul 2024

Long Time Behavior Of Wave And Plate Equations, Madhumita Roy

Electronic Theses and Dissertations Archive

Long time behavior of a class of nonlinear hyperbolic dynamics governed by Partial Differential Equations [PDEs] is considered in this thesis. The objective is to demonstrate that the long-term behavior can be directed towards coherent structures, such as attractors. Attractors are invariant and compact sets in the phase space that attract all trajectories. The key aspects of the dynamics that allow for these descriptions are: (i) a level of dissipation within the system and (ii) the asymptotic smoothness and regularity [compactness] of the trajectories. In this context, hyperbolic dynamics pose a notable challenge as they inherently lack both of these …
