Effects of intrauterine growth restriction and a maternal high fat diet on epigenetic determinants in rat lung

Subjects: lung

saturated fat

description: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) complicates up to 15% of pregnancies and often occurs in conjunction with exposure to a maternal diet high in saturated fats (HFD). IUGR is associated with alterations to the structure and development of the lung. Lung development depends upon the precise and coordinate expression of genetic and epigenetic determinants. Methylation of lysine 20 on histone 4 (H4K20Me) is an epigenetic histone modification of interest in lung development. The enzyme Setd8 places the H4K20Me mark along target genes, including the PPARγ gene. The H4K20Me mark increases transcription of PPARγ mRNA and production of the translated product, PPARγ protein. By way of a feedback loop, PPARγ is also the transcription factor that regulates transcription of Setd8. PPARγ is critical in alveolarization, or the final stage in lung development. We previously showed that a diet high in unsaturated fat can reverse effects of IUGR on lung molecular changes, however, the effects of a diet high in saturated fats is unknown. In this study we hypothesized that maternal HFD in combination with IUGR will decrease PPARγ2 and Setd8 mRNA and protein expression beyond that of IUGR alone. We hypothesize that H4K20Me in whole rat lung and at Exon 4 of the PPARγ gene will also be decreased by HFD and IUGR. Sprague-Dawley rats were studied before and after alveolarization (prealveolarization and postalveolarization). Dams either underwent uteroplacental insufficiency to induce IUGR or anesthesia only for control rats. Half of each group (IUGR and control) were fed a regular diet while the other half were fed a HFD from preconception to the end of the study. Our study demonstrated that, HFD in combination with IUGR (HFD-IUGR) affects the PPARγ-Setd8 feedback loop in rat lung in a sex-specific manner. In male rat lung, HFD-IUGR resulted in disconnects in the PPARγ-Setd8 feedback loop. Furthermore, disconnects in the PPARγ-Setd8 feedback loop persisted beyond alveolarization. These novel findings suggest that male rat lungs are more susceptible to diet induced changes in the PPARγ-Setd8 feedback loop than female rat lungs. Further, these changes may make male IUGR rat lungs susceptible to lung injury over the longterm.

description: The genus Bursera (Burseraceae) is considered an interesting source of antitumour compounds. This study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxic activity of the dichloromethane-soluble extracts from the bark of nine Mexican Bursera species. The chemical components of the extracts were determined by NMR and mass spectroscopy, whereas its cytotoxicity was tested using the sulphorhodamine (SRB) method on seven cell lines. Triterpenes and fatty acids were the most abundant components found in the extracts. A quantification by HPTLC – densitometry, showed that the species B. copallifera had the highest content of amyrins (287 µg/mg extract) followed by B. submoniliformis (159.5 µg/mg) and B. bicolor (156.5 µg/mg). Regarding cytotoxicicity, the species B. bicolor caused the highest growth inhibition (>90%) in colon (HCT-15) and lung (SK-LU1) lines; while B. fagaroides, B. grandifolia, B. morelensis, B. bicolor and B. linanoe were active in the SK-LU1cell line.

description: This study evaluated an educational program for Type 1 diabetics located on an inpatient setting of a pediatric hospital in the western United States.  To determine what effect the program had on the extent of improvement in knowledge of children and their parents, a questionnaire of current diabetes information was developed; a pretest/posttest design was used.  Eighteen subjects agreed to tat the pre- and posttests and complete on open-ended questionnaire to subjectively evaluate the education they received.  A paired t-test was utilized to analyze the overall gain from pre- to posttest and specific content area analysis.  As a result of participation in the education program, significant improvement in knowledge took place in all content area and by all participants, children and adults.  The subjective evaluation of the program by the subjects and educators determined perceived benefits, areas requiring change and the beliefs about testing new patients; these were all highly favored by the educators and participants.  Some specific commendations and recommendations for change were given

Frequency shifts during spin-exchange optical pumping of 3He and 129Xe and applications of hyperpolarized 129Xe
Creators: name: Ma, Zayd
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: BPTI, frequency shift, frozen, Hyperpolarized 129Xe, NMR, spin-exchange optical pumping

description: This thesis is focused on the fundamental physics of spin-exchange optical pumping (SEOP) and a few applications of the resultant hyperpolarized 129Xe. During SEOP, noble-gas and Rb atoms repeatedly collide. During these collisions the Rb valence-electron wavefunction overlaps with the noble-gas nucleus and if either the noble-gas nuclei or Rb electrons are highly spin-polarized then the other will experience, on average, a small additional magnetic field that will manifest itself as a shift in the Larmor frequency. The size of the frequency shift is proportional to the magnetization of the polarized atoms and consequently can be used to perform polarimetry. In this thesis, pulsed NMR was used to measure 3He and 129Xe Larmor frequency shifts, and optically detected continuous-wave electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) was used to monitor the 87Rb hyperfine transition frequencies. A successful calibration of the size of the frequency shift due to 129XeRb collisions was done and, using this calibration, preliminary 129Xe polarimetry data were acquired by monitoring the 87Rb EPR frequency inside the Utah flow-through polarizer. The 129Xe polarimetry results were inconclusive due to an unexplained result regarding the sign of the frequency shift; however extensive progress was made in understanding the systematics associated with this type of measurement. Hyperpolarized 129Xe from the Utah flow-through polarizer was also used to perform measurements with unprecedented precision of the T1 time of 129Xe in Xe frozen as "ice" and "snow." In addition, hyperpolarized 129Xe was also used in a study focused on interaction of dissolved Xe with wild-type and several mutants of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) protein.

description: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have uncovered numerous variants linked to a wide range of complex traits. However, understanding the mechanisms underlying these associations remains a challenge. To determine genetically regulated mechanisms, additional layers of gene regulation, such as transcriptome and proteome, need to be assayed. Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) and Proteome-wide association studies (PWAS) offer a gene-centered approach to illuminate these mechanisms by examining how variants influence transcript expression and protein expression, thereby inferring their impact on complex traits. In the introductory chapter of this dissertation, I discuss the methodology of TWAS and PWAS, exploring the assumptions they make in estimating SNP-gene effect sizes, their applications, and their limitations. In Chapter 2, I undertake an integrative analysis of TWAS and PWAS using the largest cohort of individuals affected with Tourette’s Syndrome within the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC) – Tourette’s Syndrome working group. I identified genomic regions containing multiple TWAS and PWAS signals and integrated these results using the computational colocalization method to gain insights into genetically regulated genes implicated in the disorder. In Chapter 3, I conduct an extensive TWAS of the Myasthenia Gravis phenotype, uncovering novel genes associated with the disorder. Utilizing two distinct methodologies, I performed individual tissue-based and cross-tissue-based imputation to assess the genetic influence on transcript expression. A secondary TWAS analysis was conducted after removing SNPs from the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) region to identify significant genes outside this region. Finally, in Chapter 4, I present the conclusions drawn from both studies, offering a comprehensive understanding of the genetic architecture underlying these traits. I also discuss future directions aimed at advancing the mechanistic understanding of complex non-Mendelian disorders.

description: Graduate of pharmacy residency and fellowship programs are actively recruited through national advertisements and personnel placement services.  Little current information is available about the types of positions accepted by this group of highly trained pharmacists.  Understanding the job characteristics that influence an applicant's acceptance of a particular position would enable employers to more effectively recruit pharmacists with advanced training to their institution.  A questionnaire was mailed to the 1990 graduates of the American Society of Hospital Pharmacists - accredited clinical and specialized residencies and of fellowships offered by members of the American College of Clinical Pharmacy.  The information requested on the survey included demographics, education and work history, geographic mobility, and future plans including positions accepted.  Respondents were asked to rate the importance of 25 job characteristics in selecting an ideal job and to identify and rank the 5 characteristics most important in selecting their actual position.  The data were analyzed to compare the responses of 107 clinical residents, 50 specialized residents and 38 fellows.  The respondents were desiring positions that would be interesting, challenging, personally rewarding, encourage the use of professional knowledge and allow for professional development.  Of the survey respondents, 115 had accepted a job at the time of the survey.  Seventy-five percent of the residents took positions either with a hospital or as a faculty member with hospital obligations.  The jobs were primarily clinical; only 25% of clinical residents and 10% of specialized residents expected to have a distributive component to their job.  Half of the fellows accepted faculty positions.  Other fellows took positions in hospitals or drug research programs.  In ranking the job characteristics that actually determined acceptance of jobs.  It is apparent applications are taking jobs that are perceived to be interesting, challenging, personally rewarding and offer the opportunity to use professional knowledge and to be creative and innovative.  Consistency with personal goals and opportunity for personal development are also important.  Emphasis on these aspects of available positions may results in more effective recruiting efforts.  Factors such as salary, benefits and work environment were not identified as determining acceptance of positions.

description: Rullia tuberosa L. is used for treatment of diabetes mellitus, anti-inflammation, etc. However, its hypoglycaemic and anti inflammatory activities has not been investigated so far. In the present study, the α-glucosidase inhibitory, anti inflammatory activities of the extract of this plant were investigated. Our results showed that the crude extract as well as ethyl acetate and methanol fractions showed α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 of 15.84, 4.73 and 8.27 µg/ml, respectively. In addition, the hexane and ethyl acetate fractions are capable of inhibiting LPS-induced NO production with IC50 of 17.41 and 23.95 µg/mL, respectively. From the ethyl acetate and methanol fractions, eight compounds, including isobargaptol 5-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), syringaresinol (2), catechin (3), pulmatin (4), stigmast-4-en-3-on (4), verbascoside (5), hydroxymethylfurfural (6), rutin (7), and homoplantaginin (8) were extracted and isolated. Their chemical structures were elucidated by spectroscopic method including MS, 1 D and 2 D- NMR and comparison with the literature values.

description: The demand for high speed communication has been increasing in the past two decades. Multicarrier communication technology has been suggested to address this demand. Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is the most widely used multicarrier technique. However, OFDM has a number of disadvantages in time-varying channels, multiple access, and cognitive radios. On the other hand, filterbank multicarrier (FBMC) communication has been suggested as an alternative to OFDM that can overcome the disadvantages of OFDM. In this dissertation, we investigate the application of filtered multitone (FMT), a subset of FBMC modulation methods, to slow fading and fast fading channels. We investigate the FMT transmitter and receiver in continuous and discrete time domains. An efficient implementation of FMT systems is derived and the conditions for perfect reconstruction in an FBMC communication system are presented. We derive equations for FMT in slow fading channels that allow evaluation of FMT when applied to mobile wireless communication systems. We consider using fractionally spaced per tone channel equalizers with different number of taps. The numerical results are presented to investigate the performance of these equalizers. The numerical results show that single-tap equalizers suffice for typical wireless channels. The equalizer design study is advanced by introducing adaptive equalizers which use channel estimation. We derive equations for a minimum mean square error (MMSE) channel estimator and improve the channel estimation by considering the finite duration of channel impulse response. The results of optimum equalizers (when channel is known perfectly) are compared with those of the adaptive equalizers, and it is found that a loss of 1 dB or less incurs. We also introduce a new form of FMT which is specially designed to handle doubly dispersive channels. This method is called FMT-dd (FMT for doubly dispersive channels). The proposed FMT-dd is applied to two common methods of data symbol orientation in the time-frequency space grid; namely, rectangular and hexagonal lattices. The performance of these methods along with OFDM and the conventional FMT are compared and a significant improvement in performance is observed. The FMT-dd design is applied to real-world underwater acoustic (UWA) communication channels. The experimental results from an at-sea experiment (ACOMM10) show that this new design provides a significant gain over OFDM. The feasibility of implementing a MIMO system for multicarrier UWA communication channels is studied through computer simulations. Our study emphasizes the bandwidth efficiency of multicarrier MIMO communications .We show that the value of MIMO to UWA communication is very limited.

Learning latent structures via bayesian nonparametrics: new models and efficient inference

description: Latent structures play a vital role in many data analysis tasks. By providing compact yet expressive representations, such structures can offer useful insights into the complex and high-dimensional datasets encountered in domains such as computational biology, computer vision, natural language processing, etc. Specifying the right complexity of these latent structures for a given problem is an important modeling decision. Instead of using models with an a priori fixed complexity, it is desirable to have models that can adapt their complexity as the data warrant. Nonparametric Bayesian models are motivated precisely based on this desideratum by offering a flexible modeling paradigm for data without limiting the model-complexity a priori. The flexibility comes from the model's ability to adjust its complexity adaptively with data. This dissertation is about nonparametric Bayesian learning of two specific types of latent structures: (1) low-dimensional latent features underlying high-dimensional observed data where the latent features could exhibit interdependencies, and (2) latent task structures that capture how a set of learning tasks relate with each other, a notion critical in the paradigm of Multitask Learning where the goal is to solve multiple learning tasks jointly in order to borrow information across similar tasks. Another focus of this dissertation is on designing efficient approximate inference algorithms for nonparametric Bayesian models. Specifically, for the nonparametric Bayesian latent feature model where the goal is to infer the binary-valued latent feature assignment matrix for a given set of observations, the dissertation proposes two approximate inference methods. The first one is a search-based algorithm to find the maximum-a-posteriori (MAP) solution for the latent feature assignment matrix. The second one is a sequential Monte-Carlo-based approximate inference algorithm that allows processing the data oneexample- at-a-time while being space-efficient in terms of the storage required to represent the posterior distribution of the latent feature assignment matrix.

description: The leaves of Polydora serratuloides, with the synonym Vernonia perrottetii are widely used as purgative agents for gastrointestinal problems, and other members of Vernonieae have been used in African traditional medicine for decades. A new sesquiterpene lactone of the keto-hirsutinolide type, 13-acetoxy-1(4β),5(6)β-diepoxy-8α-(senecioyloxy)−3-oxo-1,7(11)-germacradiene-12,6-olide 1, was isolated from the hexane extract of its leaves, in addition to the known 13-acetoxy-1,4β-epoxy-8α-(senecioyloxy)−3-oxo-1,5,7(11)-germacratriene-12,6-olide 2. Three common flavonoids (apigenin 3, luteolin 4 and velutin 5) were also isolated. The antibacterial and quorum sensing inhibitory activities of compounds 1 and 2 and crudes extracts showed limited activity on Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus, with no activity on Gram negative bacteria. However, quorum sensing (QSI) experiments indicated that 1 and 2, and the four crude extracts had interesting inhibitory activity on the biosensor organism, Chromobacterium violaceum ATCC 12472 in the range of 0.33–5.25 mg mL−1, with compound 1 being the most effective at 0.33 mg mL−1.

description: How to best treat individuals who commit child sex offenses is a perennial concern. Many of these perpetrators are adolescents. In order for mental health professionals to adequately address this group's unique treatment needs, further research is necessary. The present research addressed the assessment of sexual interest (which may play an integral role in potential for sexual reoffending) in a sample of adolescents at high risk for sexual reoffending. The project compared results from an unobtrusive method of assessing sexual interest (a viewing time measure) to both a physiologically-based method (a penile plethysmography [PPG] measure), and an actuarially-based assessment of pedophilic interest. Results provided evidence for some overlap between PPG and viewing time assessments, although other evidence suggested that whether or not PPG data are ipsatized may impact the relationship of the data with other assessment modalities. Of particular relevance for clinical assessment, results also suggested that the actuarially-based assessment may have limited utility with adolescents. There has also been a dramatic increase in treatment programs for adolescents who have committed sex offenses. Despite this increase, treatment dropout rates are often quite high, and more treatment outcome research is needed. To that end, the present study also explored treatment trajectories and outcome, by examining the relationship between pretreatment variables, psychological distress during treatment, and treatment completion, as well as posttreatment outcomes including sexual reoffending. In a second sample of adolescents in residential treatment for sexual offending, there was no evidence that adolescents who failed to complete treatment, or who had sexual or nonsexual behavior problems following treatment, differed from other adolescents in their trajectories of self-reported distress during treatment. Two trends emerged, however: adolescents who first sexually offended at older ages were slightly less likely to have negative treatment outcomes, whereas adolescents with diagnosed anxiety disorders were more likely to have negative treatment outcomes. Additionally, adolescents with previous academic problems or histories of committing nonsexual crimes experienced different trajectories of self-reported distress than other adolescents, although these trajectories were unrelated to posttreatment outcomes. Implications for research and treatment are discussed.

description: Candida albicans is the causative agent of candidiasis in immunocompromised and diseased individuals. The current study was designed to evaluate the antifungal activity of Trachyspermum ammi (L.) Sprague seeds ethanolic extract and hexanes fraction against Candida albicans, both in-vitro and in-vivo. The minimal inhibitory concentration of hexanes fraction was found to be 225 μg/mL, as compared to the standard drug amphotericin B (200 μg/mL). For the treatment of cutaneous candidiasis in BALB/c mice model, the extract and fraction containing ointment was topically applied on flank of mice at various concentrations, and 90–100% recovery in mice was observed which was better than the standard drug, clotrimazole. The GC/MS analysis of hexanes extract indicated the presence of three major components, including (43.91%), O-cymene (25.53%), and γ-terpinene (22.64%). The results showed that T. ammi possess potential antifungal effect, and can be used for the development of novel antifungal agents after further pre-clinical and clinical trials.

description: The present study highlights the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities from Anadenanthera colubrina leaves ethanolic extract (EEAc) and its phytochemical profile. The chemical profile of EEAc was determined and in vitro free radical scavenging potential, cell viability in RAW 264.7 and in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory activity were evaluated. The analysis of EEAc showed several phenolic compounds such as tannins and phenolic acids. The high antioxidant potential observed is possibly due to its high phenolic content. The EEAc (500 mg kg−1) showed an in vivo effect at the same level of dexamethasone; in vitro, at 50 μg mL−1, inhibited approximately 80% of nitric oxide production concentration, showed an inhibition of more than 50% of TNF-α production and presented high cell viability. The results show that A. colubrina leaves are an important source of phytochemicals that possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Exercise in hispanic patients with diabetes
Creators: name: Pepper, Matthew J.
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012

description: BACKGROUND - Obesity and physical inactivity are major risk factors in the development and progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Hispanic patients face barriers with language and culture in dealing with diabetes. At a Utah Community Health Center (CHC), patients needed a successful way to overcome these barriers in order to implement an exercise routine. METHODS - We prepared a Spanish language exercise DVD and distributed it free of charge to 40 overweight Hispanic patients with diabetes. Patients were given the exercise DVD as a part of a nutrition and exercise program in a 6-week study. Patients were contacted by telephone after 1 to 3 weeks to determine whether they were using the DVD. After 5-8 weeks the patients returned to clinic to be re-weighed. Patients were asked how often and how long they exercised and whether they found the Spanish language exercise DVD was helpful. RESULTS -Forty patients were evaluated. Six patients were lost to follow-up due to lost DVD, broken DVD player, or disconnected phone number. Thirty-four patients were included in the analysis. Thirteen patients showed an increase in the frequency of physical activity, 6 patients had a decrease, and 15 patients had no change in the frequency of physical activity. Fourteen patients showed an increase in the amount of time dedicated to physical activity, 2 patients showed a decrease. Eighteen patients did not change the time dedicated to physical activity and 25 patients showed a reduction in weight from baseline. CONCLUSION - Use of a Spanish language exercise DVD in a Hispanic population moderately improves frequency of physical activity, time dedicated to physical activity, and weight control.

description: The experience of homelessness is much like the long hallway that stretches between infinite numbers of inaccessible doorways. Access to education and educational support and resources is among the myriad closed doors that one might encounter while walking this path. The homeless youth of downtown Salt Lake City that acquire many needed resources from the Homeless Youth Resource Center are heavily challenged in their educational goals as they must continually approach doorways leading into rooms that did not include their unique circumstances in their structural design. The objective for my Integrated Service Project was to understand the educational needs and wants of the youth of the Homeless Youth Resource Center and the educational alternatives available in the community in order to develop educational resources designed around the unique experiences and challenges of homelessness. Through the research conducted for the project, it was determined that in order to meet the specific circumstances of students experiencing homelessness, the final product needed to effectively provide one-on-one support to students in an openly structured program. Students that obtain educational support and resources through the Homeless Youth Resource Center are currently provided instruction and support through an open ended pre-GED, GED, and highschool completion program that allows students to complete work and make progress at the rate that they are able given both their skill level and life circumstances. Therefore, tutors/mentors that could contribute supplementary instruction and support to the core program would provide students with a greater ability to progress according to his or her skills, abilities, and circumstances. After exploring various methods of developing a tutoring/mentoring program that could accommodate an increased level of one-on-one support for students, a tutoring/mentoring AmeriCorps position was determined to be the best initial approach to providing the Homeless Youth Resource Center's educational programming with additional resources. The program will be facilitated by both University of Utah students through the Bennion Center's volunteer programs, the University of Utah's AmeriCorps program, and the staff of the Homeless Youth Resource Center. The goal is to develop a continuous, self-sustaining partnership through which the unique circumstances, needs, and goals of the Homeless Youth Resource Center staff and participants are met and the needs and goals of University of Utah student participants are met through working together.

Rhetoric of social security reform in the United States

Subjects: Social security
United States

description: This dissertation consists of three interrelated essays on the Social Security reform debate in the U.S. Throughout these essays, rhetorical strategies involved in proprivatization and antiprivatization positions have been studied from an interdisciplinary perspective. The first essay is devoted to the critical analysis of the Bush administration's rhetoric of reforming Social Security through private etirement accounts that have been introduced as a part of the broader political project, Ownership Society. The rhetoric of Ownership Society has become integral to framing the political motivation behind the Social Security reform. This motivational frame involves a fierce advocacy of autonomy.  In this ‘proprivatization' framework, the social adequacy component of the system fades away as actuarial fairness comes to the fore as the chief theme. Contrary to this position, I will suggest a ‘prosocial' rhetoric that recognizes the pursuit of social standards as providing the element of autonomy.

Note. Despite many collecting efforts in Suriname and French Guiana in recent years, we have found no specimens or recent records of Canthon coloratus for the research area. All records for French Guiana in the literature (Balthasar 1941c: 344; Blackwelder 1944: 198; Pereira and Martínez 1956b: 159; Vulcano and Pereira 1964: 669) can be traced back to the original description by A. Schmidt (1922a: 86), which may have been based on a mislabeled specimen. We consider the occurrence of this species in the research area doubtful and in need of confirmation.

description: Almost all collegiate programs in College of Engineering; (School of); offer an introductory course in programming primarily devoted to communicating the foundational principles of  software design and development. The ACM designates this introduction to computer programming course for first-year students as CS1, during which methodologies for solving problems within a discrete computational context are presented. Logical thinking is highlighted, guided primarily by a sequential approach to algorithm development and made manifest by typically using the latest, commercially successful programming language.  In response to the most recent developments in accessible multicore computers, instructors of these introductory classes may wish to include training on how to design workable parallel code. Novel issues arise when programming concurrent applications which can make teaching these concepts to beginning programmers a seemingly formidable task. Student comprehension of design strategies related to parallel systems should be monitored to ensure an effective classroom experience. This research investigated the feasibility of integrating parallel College of Engineering; concepts  into the first-year CS classroom. To quantitatively assess student comprehension of parallel College of Engineering;, an experimental educational study using a two-factor mixed  group design was conducted to evaluate two instructional interventions in addition to a control group: (1) topic lecture only, and (2) topic lecture with laboratory work  using a software visualization Parallel Analysis Tool (PAT) specifically designed for this project. A new evaluation instrument developed for this study, the Perceptions of Parallelism Survey (PoPS), was used to measure student learning regarding parallel systems.
