A Cryptic Oxidoreductase Safeguards Oxidative Protein Folding In Corynebacterium Diphtheriae, Christian Rückert, Andrzej Joachimiak, Andreas Tauch, Asis Das, Hung Ton-That

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

In many gram-positive Actinobacteria, including Actinomyces oris and Corynebacterium matruchotii, the conserved thiol-disulfide oxidoreductase MdbA that catalyzes oxidative folding of exported proteins is essential for bacterial viability by an unidentified mechanism. Intriguingly, in Corynebacterium diphtheriae, the deletion of mdbA blocks cell growth only at 37 °C but not at 30 °C, suggesting the presence of alternative oxidoreductase enzyme(s). By isolating spontaneous thermotolerant revertants of the mdbA mutant at 37 °C, we obtained genetic suppressors, all mapped to a single T-to-G mutation within the promoter region of tsdA, causing its elevated expression. Strikingly, increased expression of tsdA—via …

It Is Not Pneumocystis Jiroveci (Pcp), It Is Cyclophosphamide-Induced Pneumonitis, Mery Bartl, Yilen Karen Ng-Wong, Blesset Alexander, Jose Gomez Casanovas, Josenny L. Rodriguez-Paez, Andres Suarez, Christine Loftis

School of Medicine Publications

Cyclophosphamide (CYC) is an immunosuppressive medication used to treat life-threatening complications of various rheumatic diseases like vasculitis and systemic lupus erythematosus. A rare side effect of this medication is pneumonitis, which occurs in less than 1% of patients. We describe a case of an 83-year-old woman with a past medical history of microscopic polyangiitis, who presented with progressive dyspnea at rest, exacerbated on exertion, and associated with orthopnea that was attributed to CYC-induced pneumonitis. Three months before this presentation, the patient was diagnosed with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-positive pauci-immune crescentic and necrotizing glomerulonephritis and started on CYC. On admission, a …

Rational Targets Of Therapy In Extranodal Nk/T-Cell Lymphoma, Ajay Major, Pierluigi Porcu, Bradley M Haverkos

Department of Medical Oncology Faculty Papers

Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL) is an aggressive extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) with poor outcomes, particularly in advanced-stage and relapsed/refractory disease. Emerging research on molecular drivers of ENKTL lymphomagenesis by next-generation and whole genome sequencing has revealed diverse genomic mutations in multiple signaling pathways, with the identification of multiple putative targets for novel therapeutic agents. In this review, we summarize the biological underpinnings of newly-understood therapeutic targets in ENKTL with a focus on translational implications, including epigenetic and histone regulatory aberrations, activation of cell proliferation signaling pathways, suppression of apoptosis and tumor suppressor genes, changes in the tumor microenvironment, and EBV-mediated …

Notably, Nitrogen (N) fertilizer is an important element in improving soil fertility and affecting crop productivity. The objective of this research study was to determine the effect of Nitrogen on kernel sugar concentration in white corn and investigate the effect upon white corn yield and grain mass. The study was conducted at the Illinois State University research farms …

Introduction: Studying Presidents And The Presidency, Lori Cox Han

Political Science Faculty Books and Book Chapters

"This chapter provides an overview of presidential studies and the current state of presidency research. Having a better understanding of topics such as the different eras usually associated with the presidency and the methods of study used by presidency scholars can aid students in learning about the various facets of the institution of the presidency as well as those who have held the office. This chapter considers the general categories used to organize presidents and their presidencies by historical eras, which provides a sense of how the institution itself, along with the day-to-day job responsibilities of the president, has evolved …

Saved Babies, Dead Doctors: Settler Colonial Anxiety And Strategic Rhetorics Of/In The Anti-Abortion Cultural Narrative, Cassidy Ellis

Communication ETDs

In this dissertation I identify and analyze the rhetoric that creates the anti-abortion cultural narrative and locate its toxic secrets by exposing the logics and ideologies the secrets obscure and sustain, and finally, ascertaining the strategic rhetorics that enable the narrative’s power and centrality. There are two primary arguments proposed in this dissertation. First, I argue that settler colonialism is the primary toxic secret nestled just beneath the surface of the anti-abortion cultural narrative. It is the secret that animates and sustains the narrative in service of maintaining settler colonial social order via control and maintenance of the population. Second, …

Predicting Patient-Specific Tumor Dynamics: How Many Measurements Are Necessary?, Isha Harshe, Heiko Enderling, Renee Brady-Nicholls

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Acquiring sufficient data is imperative to accurately predict tumor growth dynamics and effectively treat patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the number of volume measurements necessary to predict breast tumor growth dynamics using the logistic growth model. The model was calibrated to tumor volume data from 18 untreated breast cancer patients using a varying number of measurements interpolated at clinically relevant timepoints with different levels of noise (0-20%). Error-to-model parameters and the data were compared to determine the sufficient number of measurements needed to accurately determine growth dynamics. We found that without noise, three tumor volume measurements …

Emerging Treatments For Myelodysplastic Syndromes: Biological Rationales And Clinical Translation, Juan Jose Rodriguez-Sevilla, Vera Adema, Guillermo Garcia-Manero, Simona Colla

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) are a heterogeneous group of clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders characterized by myeloid dysplasia, peripheral blood cytopenias, and increased risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The standard of care for patients with MDS is hypomethylating agent (HMA)-based therapy; however, nearly 50% of patients have no response to the treatment. Patients with MDS in whom HMA therapy has failed have a dismal prognosis and no approved second-line therapy options, so enrollment in clinical trials of experimental agents represents these patients' only chance for improved outcomes. A better understanding of the molecular and biological mechanisms underpinning MDS …

Positioning Transclival Tumor-Treating Fields For The Treatment Of Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Gliomas, John Albanese

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) carries an extremely poor prognosis, with 2-year survival rates of <10% despite the maximal radiation therapy. DIPG cells have previously been shown to be sensitive to low-intensity electric fields in vitro. Accordingly, we sought to determine if the endoscopic endonasal (EE) implantation of an electrode array in the clivus would be feasible for the application of tumor-treating fields (TTF) in DIPG. Anatomic constraints are the main limitation in pediatric EE approaches. In our Boston Children’s Hospital’s DIPG cohort, we measured the average intercarotid distance (1.68 ± 0.36 cm), clival width (1.62 ± 0.19 cm), and clival length from the base of the sella (1.43 ± 0.69 cm). Using a linear regression model, we found that only clival length and sphenoid pneumatization were significantly associated with age (R² = 0.568, p = 0.005 *; R² = 0.605, p = 0.0002 *). Critically, neither of these parameters represent limitations to the implantation of a device within the dimensions of those currently available. Our findings confirm that the anatomy present within this age group is amenable to the placement of a 2 × 1 cm electrode array in 94% of patients examined. Our work serves to demonstrate the feasibility of implantable transclival devices for the provision of TTFs as a novel adjunctive therapy …

Identification Of Small-Molecule Inhibitors Of The Salmonella Frab Deglycase Using A Live-Cell Assay, Alex J Bogard

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Nontyphoidal salmonellosis is one of the most significant foodborne diseases in the United States and globally. There are no vaccines available for human use to prevent this disease, and only broad-spectrum antibiotics are available to treat complicated cases of the disease. However, antibiotic resistance is on the rise and new therapeutics are needed. We previously identified the Salmonella fraB gene, that mutation of causes attenuation of fitness in the murine gastrointestinal tract. The FraB gene product is encoded in an operon responsible for the uptake and utilization of fructose-asparagine (F-Asn), an Amadori product found in several human foods. Mutations in …

Review Of Autism Spectrum Disorder, Makwan Mohammed Abdulkareem

Muthanna Medical Journal

Autism spectrum disorder is a group of neurodevelopmental disorders that manifest early during first 1-3 years of life and characterized by two main clinical symptoms: Persistent deficits in social interactions and repeated, restricted interests, behaviors, and activities. However, language deficit, intellectual disability, irritability and aggression, mood instability, abnormal response to sensory stimuli, poor attention span, hyperactivity and insomnia are commonly present simultaneously but not needed to receive the diagnosis of Autism. Exact etiology is yet unknown, but it's believed to be the result of interaction between genetic and environmental factors even though the genetic basis is more dominant. Mood, anxiety, …

Gaining A Deeper Understanding Of The Psychology Underpinning Significance Judgements In Environmental Impact Assessment (Eia), Francois P. Retief, Alan Bond, Angus Morrison-Saunders, Jenny Pope, Reece C. Alberts, Claudine Roos, Dirk P. Cilliers

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Significance judgements lie at the heart of EIA and provide the basis and justification for overall decision-making. Although the subjective nature of significance judgements is widely recognized, there has been limited research aimed at gaining a deeper understanding of its implications. This paper builds on the growing tradition of exploring learning from psychology in dealing with challenges in EIA practice, in this case, significance judgements. The aim of this research is therefore, to gain a deeper understanding of the psychology underpinning significance judgements. This is achieved by applying 10 concepts from psychology to the four steps in the ‘significance spectrum …
