The Impact Of Cocaine On Inflammatory Markers In Sim-A9 Microglial Cells, Tyler Vaglivelo
The Impact Of Cocaine On Inflammatory Markers In Sim-A9 Microglial Cells, Tyler Vaglivelo
Honors Scholar Theses
Substance use disorders are conditions in which an individual continues to use a drug or other substance despite adverse consequences to their health and well-being. It has been hypothesized that inflammation within the central nervous system plays a critical role in the development of substance use disorders. The resident macrophages in the brain, also known as microglia, release markers of inflammation in response to injury or infection. A better understanding of the inflammatory response mediated by microglia in response to drugs of misuse can validate this hypothesis and help guide drug development. In the current studies, the microglia cell line …

Assessment Of H2s-Induced Cracking Susceptibility In Steam Line Pipes And Weld Zones During Geothermal Well Construction, Riene Kaelamanda Pragitta, Yudha Pratesa
Journal of Materials Exploration and Findings
The susceptibility of steam line pipes, especially in the HAZ (heat-affected zone) and weldment areas, to hydrogen sulfide in the geothermal industry is crucial to understand from the early stages, particularly during construction. The combination of tensile stress from residual stresses after welding and metallurgical phase transformation makes the joint areas vulnerable to sulfide stress cracking. This condition becomes even more extreme when the equipment operates during the well stimulation phase. This research assesses the severity of H₂S-induced cracking using NACE MR0175 and ISO 15156-1 standards, focusing on the effects of pH and partial pressure of H₂S (pH₂S …

Combined Inhibition Of Lysine-Specific Demethylase 1 And Kinase Signaling As A Preclinical Treatment Strategy In Glioblastoma, Lea Stitzlein
Combined Inhibition Of Lysine-Specific Demethylase 1 And Kinase Signaling As A Preclinical Treatment Strategy In Glioblastoma, Lea Stitzlein
Dissertations and Theses (Open Access)
Glioblastoma is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults, with limited treatment options resulting in a poor prognosis. Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) is overexpressed in glioblastoma and contributes to tumor growth and treatment resistance. Inhibitors of LSD1 have shown preclinical promise but have had limited clinical development for glioblastoma. Given the frequent kinase pathway alterations in glioblastoma, the interplay between LSD1 inhibition and kinase signaling pathways was investigated to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited through rationally designed combination therapies. We hypothesized that LSD1 inhibitors would activate kinase signaling pathways, such as MAPK, and the addition of kinase …

Fluorescent Labeling And Size-Dependent Uptake Of Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles In Ovarian Cancer Tumor Spheroids, Kimberly R. Berardis
Honors Scholar Theses
Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecologic malignancy, with most patients presenting at an advanced stage. While surgical debulking improves survival, nonresectable tumors (<1 cm) contribute significantly to morbidity and remain difficult to treat. Nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems offer an innovative approach to targeted therapy and palliation. In vivo models have demonstrated that intraperitoneally delivered mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) preferentially accumulate in tumors with low systemic exposure, enabling targeted chemo- and radiotherapy.
MSNs are particularly suited for radiotherapeutic delivery, as their strong interactions with tumor extracellular matrices drive selective uptake. Additionally, they exhibit excellent stability under neutron flux, allowing for loading with stable isotopes and irradiation immediately prior to administration. High radionuclide retention after dilution further minimizes systemic exposure and toxicity.
A key …

Studies To Understand The Stability And Liabilities Of Legumain-Cleavable Antibody-Drug Conjugates, Michele Yi
Studies To Understand The Stability And Liabilities Of Legumain-Cleavable Antibody-Drug Conjugates, Michele Yi
Undergraduate Honors Theses
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) offer targeted drug delivery of potent cytotoxic payloads, minimizing systemic toxicity. However, the stability of the linker is integral to ensure that there is minimal off-target payload release and little systemic toxicity. This study analyzes the physical and biological stability of our new legumain-cleavable vs traditional cathepsin-cleavable antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), with a focus on hydrophobicity, thermal stability, aggregation, and biological payload release. Our findings indicate that decreased hydrophobicity of the legumain-cleavable ADCs compared to cathepsin-cleavable ADCs is correlated with decreased aggregation (predicting lower uptake by liver macrophages and therefore slower clearance and less systemic toxicity) and lower …

Based on strong evidence, optimal management of neuromuscular block should incorporate objective (or quantitative) neuromuscular monitoring with appropriately dosed antagonists such as sugammadex. Sugammadex has the unique ability to antagonize aminosteroidal-induced neuromuscular block at any level; however, neostigmine is a reasonable alternative at minimal levels. Blind or excessive administration of sugammadex does not eliminate the risk of patients having postoperative residual neuromuscular block. Significant variability exists in how patients respond both to neuromuscular blocking agents and their antagonists.
