Behavior Of Gold Nanoparticles In Physiological Environment And The Role Of Agglomeration And Fractal Dimension, Rose Cooper
Browse all Theses and Dissertations
The Present study was designed to examine the role of agglomeration, density and the resulting fractal dimension of nanomaterials in cell culture media. Studies were completed on the kinetics and the process of agglomeration, as well as how to calculate fractal dimensions. The correlation of such complex agglomeration patterns of nanomaterials in culture media, their translocation into cells, and toxic effects were observed. Our results showed that smaller primary particles agglomerated at an accelerated rate when compared to the larger primary particles. They also demonstrated increased cellular uptake, but exhibited lower fractal dimensions. The larger primary particle agglomerates displayed obvious …
Interaction Between Na/ K-Atpase And Bcl-2 Proteins Bclxl And Bak, 2015 Wright State University
Interaction Between Na/ K-Atpase And Bcl-2 Proteins Bclxl And Bak, Tariq M. Alqahtani
Browse all Theses and Dissertations
In silico analysis predicts interaction between the Na/ K-ATPase (NKA) and Bcl-2 protein canonical motifs BH3 and BH1. Such interaction is consistent with NKA inhibition by the benzo-phenanthridine alkaloid chelerythrine (CHE), a BH3 mimetic, in human lens epithelial cells (HLEC). This report establishes proof of concept: co-immuno-precipitation and immuno-colocalization showed unequivocal and direct interaction between NKA and Bcl-2 proteins. Particularly, NKA-antibodies co-immunoprecipitated BclXl and BAK in three different epithelial cell lines, HLECs and A549 lung cancer cells, whereas anti-Bcl-2 antibodies failed to pull down NKA. The molecular mass of the BAK proteins pulled down by antibodies against NKA and BclXl …
Traumatic Brain Injury Causes Endothelial Dysfunction In Mesenteric Arteries 24 Hrs After Injury, 2015 University of Vermont
Traumatic Brain Injury Causes Endothelial Dysfunction In Mesenteric Arteries 24 Hrs After Injury, Ivette Ariela Nunez
Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the most frequent cause of death in children and young adults in the United States. Besides emergency neurosurgical procedures, there are few medical treatment options to improve recovery in people who have experienced a TBI. Management of patients who survive TBI is complicated by both central nervous system and peripheral systemic effects. The pathophysiology of systemic inflammation and coagulopathy following TBI has been attributed to trauma-induced endothelial cell dysfunction; however, there is little knowledge of the mechanisms by which trauma might impact the functions of the vascular endothelium at sites remote from the injury. The …

Polychlorinated Biphenyl Exposure Alters Oxytocin Receptor Gene Expression And Maternal Behavior In Rat, 2014 Bowling Green State University
Polychlorinated Biphenyl Exposure Alters Oxytocin Receptor Gene Expression And Maternal Behavior In Rat, Howard Cromwell
Howard Casey Cromwell
Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) is a persistent organic pollutant known to induce diverse molecular and behavioral alterations. Effects of PCB exposure could be transmitted to future generations via changes in behavior and gene expression. Previous work has shown that PCB-exposure can alter social behavior. The present study extends this work by examining a possible molecular mechanism for these changes. Pregnant rats (Sprague-Dawley) were exposed through diet to a combination of non-coplanar (PCB 47 - 2,20,4,40-tetrachlorobiphenyl) and coplanar (PCB 77 - 3,30,4,40- tetrachlorobiphenyl) congeners. Maternal care behaviors were examined by evaluating the rate and quality of nest building on the last 4 …
