Intestinal barrier is a first line of defense that prevents entry of various harmful substances from the lumen into the systemic environment. Impaired barrier function with consequent translocation of harmful substances into systemic circulation (“leaky gut”) is a central theme in many gastrointestinal, autoimmune, mental, and metabolic diseases. Probiotics have emerged as a promising strategy to maintain intestinal integrity and address “leaky gut”. Using in silico, in vitro and avian in vivo analyses, we previously showed that two novel L. reuteri strains, PTA-126787 (L. reuteri 3630) and PTA-126788 (L. reuteri 3632), isolated from broiler chickens possess favorable safety profiles. Consistent …

The Icf Syndrome Protein Cdca7 Harbors A Unique Dna Binding Domain That Recognizes A Cpg Dyad In The Context Of A Non-B Dna, Swanand Hardikar, Ren Ren, Zhengzhou Ying, Jujun Zhou, John R Horton, Matthew D Bramble, Bin Liu, Yue Lu, Bigang Liu, Luis Della Coletta, Jianjun Shen, Jiameng Dan, Xing Zhang, Xiaodong Cheng, Taiping Chen

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

CDCA7, encoding a protein with a carboxyl-terminal cysteine-rich domain (CRD), is mutated in immunodeficiency, centromeric instability, and facial anomalies (ICF) syndrome, a disease related to hypomethylation of juxtacentromeric satellite DNA. How CDCA7 directs DNA methylation to juxtacentromeric regions is unknown. Here, we show that the CDCA7 CRD adopts a unique zinc-binding structure that recognizes a CpG dyad in a non-B DNA formed by two sequence motifs. CDCA7, but not ICF mutants, preferentially binds the non-B DNA with strand-specific CpG hemi-methylation. The unmethylated sequence motif is highly enriched at centromeres of human chromosomes, whereas the methylated motif is distributed throughout …

Minocycline-Induced Retinal Pigment Epithelium Hyperpigmentation Masquerading As Age-Related Macular Degeneration: Case Presentation And Proposed Mechanism, Michael D. Yu, Nikhil Bommakanti, Yoshihiro Yonekawa, Jose S. Pulido

Wills Eye Hospital Papers

PURPOSE: We describe the case of an 80-year-old man with bilateral minocycline-induced retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) hyperpigmentation, which initially masqueraded as AMD. Secondarily, using multimodal imaging features, we propose a mechanism for the development of minocycline-induced RPE hyperpigmentation.

OBSERVATIONS: The patient was referred with concern for AMD given the presence of macular drusenoid deposits on optical coherence tomography. However, funduscopic evaluation showed dense granular parafoveal hyperpigmentation, with a diffuse slate-colored hyperpigmentation throughout the peripheral fundus. Short-wavelength fundus autofluorescence of the macula disclosed no irregularities (as would be expected with drusen) while on near-infrared reflectance (NIR) imaging, numerous hyperreflective foci were …

Metabolite Biomarker Discovery For Lung Cancer Using Machine Learning, Ariski Fajarido, Linda Erlina, Aryo Tedjo, Fadilah Fadilah, Wawaimuli Arozal

Indonesian Journal of Medical Chemistry and Bioinformatics

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. About 2.1 million lung cancer patients were diagnosed in 2018, accounting for about 11.6% of all newly diagnosed cancer cases. For lung cancer, blood is the first choice as a source of screening biomarker candidates. Blood biomarkers provide a snapshot of the patient's entire body, including the primary tumor, metastatic disease, immune response, and peritumoral stroma. However, sputum sampling, bronchial lavage or aspiration, exhaled breath (EB), and airway epithelial sampling represent unique samples for lung cancer and other airway cancers as potential sources for alternative biomarkers. Metabolites are products of …

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a major cause of death with few treatment options. Here, we demonstrate the therapeutic efficacy for lung fibrosis of adult lung cell transplantation using a single-cell suspension of the entire lung in two distinct mouse systems: bleomycin treatment and mice lacking telomeric repeat-binding factor 1 expression in alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells (SPC-Cre TRF1fl/fl), spontaneously developing fibrosis. In both models, the progression of fibrosis was associated with reduced levels of host lung progenitors, enabling engraftment of donor progenitors without any additional conditioning, in contrast to our previous studies. Two months after transplantation, engrafted progenitors …

Considering First Nations Lgbtiq+ Identity In Anti-Racist Healthcare: Relations Between Comfort In Healthcare, Microaggressions And Wellbeing, Bep Uink, Rebecca Bennett, Sian Bennett, Dameyon Bonson, Braden Hill

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

First Nations scholars and practitioners have increasingly called for anti-racist healthcare to address disparate health outcomes between First Nations and non-First Nations Australians. However, these arguments largely miss the significant negative impact that colonial heterosexism and cisgenderism (i.e. discrimination and marginalisation of queer and transgender peoples) have on LGBTIQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer/questioning) First Nations peoples’ wellbeing. To address this gap, survey data from 63 First Nations LGBTIQ+ adults in Western Australia were utilised to illustrate the impact of racism, heterosexism and cisgenderism in healthcare settings on First Nations LGBTIQ+ peoples’ wellbeing. This study examined relations between participant …

Background

• Surgery is the primary form of definitive treatment for early-stage lung cancer.
• Poor lung function before surgery places patients at high risk of pulmonary complications after resection.
• Surgeons evaluate patient fitness for surgery using pulmonary function tests (PFTs) to calculate the predicted postoperative PFT (ppoPFT).
• Conventional ppoPFT calculations assume homogeneous lung function, which can be inaccurate.
• 4DCT-ventilation is a novel lung function imaging modality developed in radiation oncology that uses 4DCT data to calculate high-resolution ventilation maps.

Outdoor Recreation For People With Spinal Cord Injuries: An Educational Video Series, Siarra Walker

Student Capstone Papers

More than 15 million people globally are living with spinal cord injury (SCI). Only half of people with SCI engage in leisure activities and approximately 71% of the population reports dissatisfaction in their leisure participation. There are numerous intrinsic and extrinsic barriers that lead to these significant declines in leisure exploration and participation, including lack of knowledge and inaccurate accessible online information. In correlation with these barriers, occupational therapy practitioners underutilize leisure participation during the rehabilitation process for people with SCI and this is an underreported topic in the literature. Occupational therapy practitioners and people with SCI lack knowledge of …
