Inhibition of sacral parasympathetic preganglionic neurons by GABA, glycine, 5-hydroxtryptamine and norepinephrine
Creators: name: Thomson, Thomas Donald
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Parasympathetic Nervous System

description: Sacral parasympathetic preganglionic discharges recorded from the pelvic nerve were evoked by stimulation of sacral afferent fibers, descending pathways in the dorsolateral spinal cord, or medullary vesico-constrictor centers.  Evoked activity was summed and integrated with a signal averaging computer in 67 spinal or decerebrate cats.  Coadministration of picrotoxin (2 mg/kg) and strychnine (.02 mg/kg), but neither alone, increased evoked activity by 4 to 10 times.  In addition, after treatment with both picrotoxin and strychnine the increases in bladder pressures evoked by stimulus trains were enhanced by 2-12 times.  Bicuculline (0.5 mg/kg) could be substituted for picrotoxin.  Similar increases in evoked pelvic nerve activity were induced by strychnine (0.1 mg/kg) in cats depleted of GABA stores with semicarbazide (200 mg/kg).  D,L-5-HTP (50 mg/kg) depressed evoked activity in both normal and convulsant-treated cats.  Depression by 5-HYP or L-dopa was augmented by chlorimipramine or protriptyline, respectively.  These results indicate that sacral parasympathetic preganglionic neurons are under strong, local tonic inhibition mediated by both GABA and glycine.  The 5-HT and NE bulbospinal neurons that terminate in the intermediolateral portion of the sacral spinal cord also appear to exert an inhibitory influence.  The results are compatible with clinical experience in patients with loss of bladder function due to lesions of the spinal cord.

Subjects: Contraction Pattern

description: Accurate assessment of the state of fetal well-being during labor is a priority and more accurate assessments are obtained if multiple parameters are assessed.  This investigator proposed manual fetal scalp stimulation as an assessment tool that is easily performed, gives immediate results, and is less invasive than other tools.  Fetal heart rate accelerations meeting specific criteria are indicative of fetal well-being.  In this study, it was hypothesized that manual fetal scalp stimulation would produce fetal heart rate accelerations in the low-risk fetus during labor.  An equivalent time samples design was used to study 28 low risk maternal/fetal dyads.  Fetal heart rate patterns were observed, evaluated, and measured 112 times. One-half of these observations were preceded by manual fetal scalp stimulation.  Fetal heart rate accelerations were measured by established criteria.  Results supported the hypothesis that manual fetal scalp stimulation does produce fetal heart rate accelerations (p < .001).

Switchable oxide 2DEGs

description: Oxide based materials have recently shifted from their traditional passive role as simple insulators, to technologically important active roles. They possess capabilities that semiconductors cannot approach, mainly the ability to couple properties and serve multiple purposes. Oxide based materials, namely the perovskite structure, have strong coupling between mechanical, electrical, optical, and magnetic properties. In most cases these functions can be switched or reversed easily to give the desired property. Piezoelectricity, thermoelectric power, and nonlinear optical affects are a few of the well known oxide roles. However there have been great strides made in oxide electronics, such as high temperature superconductors, colossal magnetoresistance, nonvolatile ferroelectric memory, and the recent advent of 2-dimensional electron gases (2DEG). The work presented herein focuses on the creation and in depth study of all-oxide 2DEGS. The possible mechanisms that enable two band insulators to conduct metallically at the interface are included in this study. The bulk of this thesis focuses on two innovative and never before studied uses with oxide 2DEGs. The first novel study is that of thermoelectric power utilizing LAO/STO 2DEGs. These experiments yielded exciting results with very high Seebeck values, the highest being 780 μV/K. This is the first report to indicate the great potential of these devices for thermoelectric power. The last section focused on theoretical work predicting that an oxide based 2DEG could be made switchable with the application of external electric field. The advent of an all oxide field effect transistor using a quantum confined 2DEG had never been accomplished above the milli-Kelvin range. With the KN/STO material system successful devices were made with the resistance of the film being greatly dependant on the applied field. Furthermore a very unusual low temperature metal-insulator-transition was observed. This report is the first to show these types of results with this material system, or with any all-oxide 2DEG at room temperature.

Internalization and fate of HPMA copolymers and antisense-HPMA copolymer conjugates in Hep G2 cells

Subjects: Drug Targeting
Polymeric Drug Delivery Systems

description: To better understand the fate of macromolecules in cells and begin to alter that fate, we studied a antisense oligonucleotide designed to inhibit the hepatitis B virus. Copolymers of N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) were initially used as a model compound and later they were used as a delivery carrier for the oligonucleotides. The subcellular fate of fluorescently labeled polymers was monitored by confocal microscopy and fluorescent spectrophotometry in Hep G2 cells (hepatocellular carcinoma). Semiquantitative fluorometry confirmed that the targeting moiety galactose was an effective ligand for receptor-mediated endocytosis for Hep G2 cells. The rate of internalization of a galactose-targeted copolymer was almost two orders of magnitude greater than that of the nontargeted copolymer. Confocal microscopy of both fixed and live cells revealed that the polymer entered the cells by endocytosis. After longer incubation times (typically >8 hours), polymer escaped from small vesicles and was distributed throughout the cytoplasm and nuclei of the cells. Polymer that entered the cytoplasm (after incubation or microinjection) accumulated in the nucleus. To examine the effect of the fluorescent dye on the intracellular fate, polymers with fluorescein, Oregon Green 488, Lissamine rhodamine B, and doxorubicin were tested; no significant differences were observed. To better understand the subcellular fate of oligonucleotides and HPMA copolymer-oligonucleotide conjugates, we studied their internalization and subcellular trafficking. A fraction of the free oligonucleotides were internalized, escaped into the cytoplasm and nucleus of Hep G2 cells, but were not active antiviral agents. Covalently attaching the oligonucleotides to the HPMA copolymers via non-degradable GG spacers resulted in sequestering the oligonucleotide in vesicles after internalization. Conjugation of the oligonucleotides to an HPMA copolymer via a degradable GFLG spacer resulted in the release of the oligonucleotide in the lysosome and subsequent translocation into the cytoplasm and nucleus of the cells. The HPMA copolymer-oligonucleotide conjugate possessed antiviral activity, indicating that phosphorothioate oligonucleotides released from the carrier in the lysosome were able to escape into the cytoplasm and nucleus and remain active. The Hep G2 cells appeared to actively internalize the phosphorothioate oligonucleotides as oligonucleotide-HPMA copolymer conjugates were internalized to a greater extent than unconjugated polymers.

Role of elastin in regulating vascular smooth muscle cell differentiation during development and disease

description: Vascular proliferative diseases such as atherosclerosis and coronary restenosis are leading causes of morbidity and mortality in developed nations. Common features associated with these heterogeneous disorders involve abnormal proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells into the arterial lumen, leading to neointimal formation and vascular stenosis. Unlike other cell types, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) possess the unique ability to modulate their phenotype based upon extracellular cues. During this modulation, VSMCs undergo a transformation from an immature, proliferative state, to a mature, quiescent one. This modulation occurs during arterial development and forms the basis of obstructive vascular disease. The ability to regulate this process has potential therapeutic implications. Yet, the external stimuli, that govern this process are unknown. Our hypothesis was that the extracellular matrix protein, elastin, regulated VSMC phenotype. This hypothesis was based on studies of Eln -/- mice. Mice lacking the elastin protein die at postnatal day 3.5 from an overproliferation and invasion of the VSMCs lining the neointimal layer of elastic arteries. This lead us to propose that elastin controlled the modulation of VSMCs from an immature to a mature state during arterial development. The disruption of this interaction could thus lead to arterial disease. Here, we demonstrate that elastin functions in an autocrine manner, providing a critical cue for VSMCs during development. We argue that elastin communicates with the VSMC interior, through nonintegrin, nonreceptor tyrosine kinase, pertussis toxin-sensitive G protein coupled receptors. The distal portion of this pathway involves lowered cAMP levels, GiRK activation, and RhoA activation. This works leads us to proposing rudimentary elastin signal transduction pathway and gives us a system to identify an elastin receptor.

description: As the nation's traffic system becomes more congested for various periods of the day, more research in the area of intelligent transportation systems is needed. Traditional solutions of adding more highways and widening the existing system are not feasible anymore due to rapidly increasing demand and lack of room for expansion. The national interest is therefore focused on congestion mitigation methods that promote efficient use of existing infrastructure. Some of the key aspects of congestion management techniques include Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) elements. These ITS elements can play a role in drivers' interaction, route choice, and traffic controls. Combined Traffic Assignment and Control (CTAC) framework-based models can capture the ITS elements- based control-driver interaction in traffic systems. The CTAC method has been the topic of scientific research for the last three decades. Several solution algorithms, model formulations, and implementation efforts have been well documented. Although proven in research, the use of the combined traffic assignment and control modeling framework is rare in practice. Typically, the engineering practice tends to keep Traffic Assignment and Control Optimization processes separate. By doing so, the control-driver interaction in the traffic system is ignored. Previous research found that CTAC models could capture the control-driver interaction and the combined modeling framework should be used in practice.

description: Analysis of a drug utilization evaluation (DUE) of the therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) process performed by the pharmacy department at a small community hospital showed an opportunity for improvement in the TDM process.  A review of the literature identified no information on best practices on which to build a model for the provision of TDM as a clinical service.  The benchmarking process was utilized to evaluate the TDM services of institutions of a similar size.  This evaluation included analysis of the TDM process as well as model development of TDM services.  A telephone contact was used to survey 48 small community hospitals that provided TDM services.  The information requested on the survey included institution demographics, institution policy on TDM, and the TDM process at that institution, TDM protocols, and level of cooperation between the pharmacy department and nursing department, laboratory department, and physical staff.  The data were analyzed to identify similarities and differences between institutions and their best practices with regard TO TDM.  Therapeutic drug monitoring was being performed by 43 of the 48 hospitals surveyed.  Thirty-six of the 43 respondents stated that they had a formal policy on TDM.  The process work flow used to TDM was similar for each institution.  The pharmacy department had developed a protocol for therapeutic drug monitoring of aminoglycosides in 35 of the 43 hospitals surveyed.  Those protocols feel into three categories, or models.  Respondents of the 43 hospitals surveyed rated their perceived level of cooperation between the pharmacy department and laboratory, nursing, and physical staff.  Analysis of the mean cooperation ratings between these departments showed no significant differences in cooperation between larger and smaller institutions in the survey.  Use of the benchmarking process can be important tool for pharmacists to use when developing new services or looking at old ones.  Constantly reviewing and adapting to best practices can lead to rapid improvements in an institution's services.

description: Dance is a way of knowing the self, but who is the self that is known and how does one come to know it? In this research, I explore the relationship between movement  and identity, drawing on the disciplines of modern dance; Self Psychology, as defined by Heinz Kohut; Creative Systems Theory, as articulated by Charles Johnston; Voice Dialogue, as expressed by Hal and Sidra Stone and Miriam Dyak; and Laban Movement Analysis, as written by Rudolf von Laban and Peggy Hackney, as theoretical frames for my creative research into how one's identity manifests in movement. I propose that the  self one comes to know through dance is both multidimensional and an integrated whole, and that the means one uses to know this self is that of embodied physical experience.  Through my creative research I have seen how movement can illuminate identity, not in a limiting, definitive way, but through the recognition of repeated patterns of choices that reflect values and preferences on the part of the mover. I have come to a greater understanding of identity not as a concrete definition or label, but as an experience of the essence of the self. Although one may not be able to describe this experience absolutely in words, I believe that an indefinable essence of the self persists. One can observe and detect these repeated patterns of personal expression that are the felt experiences of the identity manifest in motion.

Fracture conductivity of a bauxite-propped geothermal system

description: Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) are geothermal resources that are developed through hydraulic stimulation. Inadequate permeability and production from natural fractures and pores can be overcome via injection of cold water below fracturing pressure, by conventional hydraulic fracturing, or by some cyclic combination of these processes. At low injection rates or where thermal fracturing is being exploited, shearing of pre-existing weaknesses and potentially developing virgin fractures is envisioned to provide permeable, self-propped pathways. Alternatively, injection at pressures substantially above the minimum principal stress can also hydraulically connect, reopen, or create fractures and also possibly induce shearing (as known from microseismic monitoring). The heat from this artificially fractured reservoir is subsequently transferred to the injected fluid and extracted through a production well. Conventional steam turbines or a binary cycle power plants can be employed for electric generation. The technical challenges in developing EGS reservoirs are substantial and include controlling fracture direction and morphology, establishing an adequate heat transfer surface area, and maintaining conductivity. The latter was the focal point of investigation. It is commonly assumed that that the induced fractures will fail by shear and be self-propping. If tensile fractures are generated, they need to be explicitly held open by proppant (and it needs to be ensured that the proppant is not produced back into the wellbore). The conductivity of bauxite-propped fractures over extended periods of time and at elevated temperatures were measured in laboratory tests in order to assess the temporal and thermal dependency of conductivity in a typical surrogate fracture.

description: The effects of mercuric chloride on both mixed and highly purified cultures of neurons and non-neuronal (glial) cells were studies.  Cultures were prepared from the sympathetic ganglia of 11 day chick embryos and treated with mercuric chloride (0.0001-100 um-M) for two or three days.  Protein content, acetyl cholinesterase activity, 3H-thymidine incorporation, and 14C-leucine incorporation were measured, and the following results were obtained.  First, the effects of mercuric chloride varied in a complex manner with both concentration and time of exposure.  For example, mixed cultures treated for two day showed (a) increased total protein content and 14C-leucine incorporation at low concentrations, (b) decreased total protein content and 14C-leucine incorporation at high concentrations, (c) increased acetyl cholinesterase activity at most concentrations, and (d) decreased 3-H-thymidine incorporation at the highest concentration.  In cultures treated for three days, essentially all concentrations of mercuric chloride either inhibited or had no effect on any of these biochemical quantities.  Second, neurons were sensitive to concentrations of mercuric chloride as low as 0.0001-0.001 um-M while the non-neuronal cells were generally unaffected by concentrations less than 1 um-M.  Third, most of the effects of mercuric chloride resulted from direct actions on either the neurons or non-neuronal cells.  For example, various concentrations of mercuric chloride had identical effects on the activity of the neuronal enzyme acetyl cholinesterase in the presence and absence of non-neuronal cells (i.e., in mixed and highly purified neuronal cultures, respectively).

It was hypothesized the (1) patients were not informed nor instructed by nursed about the medicines they received; (2) patients actually want to know more about the medicines that are receiving; (3) patients who are informed about their care in the area of pharmacotherapeutics would be able to contribute to their own care by recognizing error in that care.  The sample consisted of 100 male and female patients (50 medical and 50 surgical) between the ages of 20 and 60 who had not be in the hospital longer that 48 hours.  All three hypotheses were supported by the results of this study.  Eight-five percent of all patients did not know the name of the medicine they were taking.  Seventy-three percent did not know the action of their medicine.  Ninety-seven percent did not know the common untoward effect of their medicines.  The patients had not received any of the information they had from nurses.  Eighty percent desired to know more about their medicines and the patients who were informed about their care in the area of medication administration were able to recognize error in the care significantly more often than those patients who were not informed.

description: In recent years, the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere has been a growing concern. In order to mitigate this problem, technological options to help stabilize the CO2 concentrations have been studied by scientists all over the world. One of the more promising solutions, called geological sequestration, is comprised of pumping captured CO2 underground and storing it in deep saline aquifers. However, long-term storage CO2 raises concerns, the most prominent being the effect of the carbon dioxide if it were to escape. Batch reactors were set up to determine the effect of carbon dioxide on the aerobic bacterium Nitrosospria multiformis and the anaerobic archaeon Methanobacterium subterraneum. The N. multiformis was grown over a period of 5 days. Live and dead cells were enumerated using a BacLight kit and an epiflourescence microscope. The M. subterraneum was grown over a period of 6 days and enumerated using Flow-FISH (Flourescent In Situ Hybridization) with a MB1174 probe and DAPI. It was determined that both autotrophic growths were supported by carbon dioxide gas. The aerobic autotrophic bacterium N. multiformis had more growth when supplied with bicarbonate as a carbon source, but the CO2 had no inhibitory effects. The anaerobic archaeon M. Subterraneum growth was stimulated by the addition of CO2 gas. Optimization of this protocol would give more accurate results, but since little research has been conducted on the effect of geologic carbon sequestration on deep subsurface microbiology, this study laid down an important foundation for future research.
Intrauterine growth restriction and docosahexanoic acid supplementation alter DNA methylation of the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma promoter 2 in rat visceral adipose tissue

description: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) increases the risk for visceral obesity and metabolic complications, with males more affected. We have shown that IUGR increases visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and mRNA levels of the pro-adipogenic transcription factor, PPARγ2, in adolescent male rats but not females. Increased PPARγ2 expression may be influenced by epigenetics. Epigenetic modifications include DNA methylation, with decreased methylation commonly associated with increased expression. PPARγ2 expression is also affected by the presence its endogenous ligand, docosahexanoic acid (DHA). We have shown that maternal DHA supplementation normalizes PPARγ2 mRNA in male rats. The effect of IUGR and maternal DHA supplementation on DNA methylation of PPARγ is unknown. We hypothesize that IUGR will decrease DNA methylation of PPARγ P2 in males and maternal DHA supplementation will correct these changes. We further hypothesize that neither IUGR nor maternal DHA supplementation will alter DNA methylation of PPARγ P2 in females or of PPARγ P1 in males and females. IUGR was induced by bilateral uterine artery ligation on day E19.5 of gestation. Maternal rats were fed a regular diet or diet containing 0.1% DHA. VAT was harvested at day 21 of life (d21) from control, IUGR, DHA, and IUGR+DHA male and female rats. PPARγ2 mRNA levels were analyzed using RT-PCR. Nucleotide specific DNA methylation of 21 sites within PPARγ P1 and 5 sites within P2 were analyzed using bisulfite modification.

description: The goal of this study was to analyze precipitation patterns in five different climatic regions across the country of India, to determine if rainwater harvesting (RWH) could provide sufficient indoor water for a typical household. Data were acquired from the United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite for this study. For the study, six cities were selected in five different climatic regions based on the Koppen climate classification. Three-hour increment precipitation average intensities were extracted from TRMM_3B42 files for the centroid of each city. The analysis applied a water balance approach, with inflows estimated as runoff from the rooftop catchment and outflows estimated from water demand. Cistern sizes were varied from 757 to 18,927 liters and the catchment area was varied from 10 to 100 m3 to quantify the performance of RWH across a range of system design conditions. As a result of the monsoonal climate in India, highly seasonal precipitation patterns occur. To study the seasonal precipitation influence, a dry-to-wet ratio was calculated as the average volume of precipitation for the months of June through August divided by the average volume of precipitation for the months of September through May. The Water Saving Efficiency (WSE) metric was calculated for each city on a yearly basis. The WSE values for each city were analyzed with the dry-to-wet ratios and precipitation volumes. The WSE varied from 2% to 6% for the smallest catchment area and cistern volume, to 20% to 50% for the largest catchment area and cistern volume. Overall, the larger the area available and the larger the cistern, the higher the efficiency; however, for small catchment areas, the increases in cistern volume provided no additional benefit. A low dry-to-wet ratio resulted in a moderate efficiency if the precipitation volume was high, and a high dry-to-wet ratio resulted in a poor efficiency if the precipitation volume was low. Synthesizing the results, the general conclusion from this study is most cities in India will realize benefits from rainwater harvesting for urban water supply.

Anxiety, emotional reactivity, and attachment as predictors of embedding dimensionality of affect

description: In this study we investigated individual differences in emotionality and affect dynamics in couples over 21 days using a modified version of the False Nearest Neighbors method to estimate the embedding dimensionality of positive and negative affect. We estimated the number of dynamic degrees of freedom  contributing to changes observed in time series' of affect. Patterns in daily affect may reflect an additive impact of stimuli (attending to many unique influences,  high dimensionality) or a coordinative process that recruits stimuli (hyper-focus, low dimensionality). We examined the relationship between the embedding  dimensionality of affect and macroscopic descriptors of emotionality that bear on affect regulation and appraisal processes. Associations were found for negative  affect only. Higher levels of trait anxiety, emotional reactivity, and attachment anxiety were associated with lower dimensionality, regardless of the occurrence  of daily negative events. The findings were consistent with the hyper-focus hypothesis. Individuals low in negative emotionality had high dimensionality except when they reported greater frequency of daily negative events. The pattern of results is discussed with respect to flexibility in affect regulation.

Gibbsitic bauxite ores

description: Bauxite ore is the primary mineral resource for the production of aluminum metal and includes gibbsite [Al(OH)3], diaspore [α-AlO(OH)] and boehmite [γ-AlO(OH)]. Gangue minerals generally include iron oxides (Hematite [Fe2O3], Goethite [FeO(OH)]), silicates (quartz [SiO2]), kaolinite [Al2Si2O5(OH)4] and others such as rutile/anatase [TiO2]. Samples from the Paragominas deposit, Brazil, were received for the thesis research including a high grade marginal ore (BNC) and a low grade marginal ore (BN). Current plant recoveries in the processing of the higher grade bauxite ore have been on the average of 25% when treated by grinding and desliming but these high grade reserves are being depleted. The utilization of marginal quality bauxite ores has been considered and flotation technology for treating BNCs and BNs were studied. Ore characterization indicates that gibbsite is the major aluminum mineral while kaolinite is the predominant silica gangue mineral. Bench flotation tests using customized collectors were evaluated directly for the ground material and after desliming. Both direct and reverse flotation strategies were considered for the flotation of the marginal bauxite ores, BN and BNC. Liberation analysis revealed that kaolinite is not so well liberated especially for the low grade marginal ore, BN. In contrast, the aluminum oxide mineral (gibbsite) presents a higher liberation degree. Results carried out by QEMSCAN indicated that more than 50% of the gibbsite is found in minus 106 micron particles containing more than 70% gibbsite. Only 8% of the kaolinite is found in minus 106 micron particles containing more than 70% kaolinite. Results from the reverse flotation of kaolinite were found to be satisfactory without desliming using a customized amine-fatty acid as collector, sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) as dispersant, and starch as depressant at pH < 6.0. Concentrates containing Al2O3 to SiO2 ratios of 7.41 and 9.83 were obtained with an Al2O3 recovery of 55.9% and 70.9% for the BN and BNC bauxite ores respectively. On the other hand, direct flotation of gibbsite from the bauxite ore was accomplished with desliming at pH 10.5 using an alkyl hydroxamate-fatty acid as collector, sodium carbonate as dispersant, and sodium silicate as depressant. Concentrates with Al2O3 to SiO2 ratios of 8.44 and 10.58 were produced with an Al2O3 recovery of 32.0% and 64.5% for the BN and BNC ores respectively. The research reported in this thesis, one of few reports on the evaluation of flotation for the concentration of marginal quality gibbsitic bauxite ores, gives evidence for the successful treatment of marginal gibbsitic bauxite ores. Further discussion on pH effect, particle size, and flotation reagents on the flotation response for both BN and BNC ores are discussed.

description: The objective of this study was to investigate the contribution of multiple demographic and religiosity variables as predictors of ambivalent sexism toward women in a sample of LDS adults. A nationwide sample of 3563 active or former LDS participants were recruited through online social media sites and email. The research design was correlational and used survey instruments. The main findings demonstrated that gender was significantly related to the endorsement of sexism. Overall, men had greater benevolent and hostilely sexist attitudes than women. Gender also moderated the relationship between religiosity and benevolent sexism when LDS activity and affiliation were predictors, such that men's endorsement of sexism increased at a greater rate than women's. Conversely, gender moderated the relationship between all religiosity measures and hostile sexism, such that as religiosity increased, women's endorsement of hostilely sexist attitudes increased more than men's did.
