WNT signaling regulates acetylcholine receptor translocation and synaptic plasticity in the adult nervous system

description: The adult nervous system is plastic and undergoes activity dependent alterations, which are essential for behaviors such as learning and memory. Paramount to plasticity is the expeditious insertion and removal of synaptic receptors; however, the molecular mechanism(s) that regulate the abundance of receptors at synapses are poorly understood. Recently, we identified a Wnt signaling pathway that increases neurotransmitter receptor levels by specifically augmenting the translocation of one class of acetylcholine receptors (AChRs) at adult synapses. We found that mutations in CWN-2 (Wnt ligand), LIN-17 (Frizzled), CAM-1 (Ror receptor tyrosine kinase), or DSH-1 (disheveled) result in similar subsynaptic accumulations of the a7 AChR homolog ACR-16 in C. elegans. Secondary to accumulation of ACR-16 receptors in subsynaptic membranes is a consequent reduction in synaptic current, and anticipated behavioral defects. Interestingly, perturbation of Wnt signaling results in decreased surface expression and mobility of ACR-16/a7 at synapses. Transient expression and genetic experiments revealed that novel LIN-17/CAM-1 heteromeric receptors regulate ACR-16/a7 translocation to synapses. Using an optogenetic nerve stimulation paradigm, we demonstrate that increased neural activity induces plastic changes in ACR-16/a7 receptor localization and current, and that plasticity is dependent on Wnt signaling. We are currently assessing which subsynaptic membrane pools contribute to ACR-16/a7 translocation in response to increased synaptic activity, and if SNARE complexes regulate this process. We hypothesize that our findings will have direct relevance to ongoing studies of activity mediated receptor translocation in the vertebrate nervous system.

description: Single blade centrifugal pump is suitable for transporting sewage water with large obstacles in diameter, which is required to achieve high performance. The blade inlet angle is a parameter that affects the performance of the single blade centrifugal pump. However, the selection of blade inlet angle is frequently based on experiences and demonstrates certain arbitrariness. Therefore, six impellers with different blade inlet angles are designed using ANSYS Bladegen and NX software. These impellers are categorized into Groups 1 and 2. The blade inlet angle of the impellers in Group1/Group2 increases/decreases from the front shroud to the rear one, respectively. Subsequently, the numerical simulation is carried out to investigate the effect of the blade inlet angle on the performance of the single blade pump. The blade inlet angle has more obvious influence on the head, efficiency, and shaft power for the impellers in Group 1 than those in Group 2. The lowest pressure is negative for one of the impellers in Group 1. Moreover, an optimum blade inlet angle improves the pump performance. In addition, the alternating load is small on the blades of the impellers in Group 2. The present results are helpful in designing the single blade centrifugal pump and improving its performance.

description: The tendency of titanium (Ti) and its alloys to wear, gall and seize during high contact stresses between sliding surfaces severely limits their applications in bearings,  gears etc. One way to mitigate these problems is to modify their surfaces by applying hard and wear resistant surface coatings. Boriding, which involves solid state diffusion of boron (B) into Ti, thereby forming hard surface layers consisting of TiB2 and TiB  compounds has been shown to produce extremely high wear resistant surfaces in Ti and its alloys. The growth kinetics of these layers are, however, limited by the low  diffusivities of B in the high melting TiB2 and TiB compounds.   On the basis of the fact that HCP metals such as Ti show enhanced (anomalous) self-diffusion near the phase transition temperature, the first hypothesis of this work has been that the diffusivity enhancement should cause rapid ingress of B atoms, thereby accelerating the growth of the hard boride layers. Isothermal boriding experiments were performed close to phase transition temperature (890, 910, and 915°C) for time periods  ranging from 3 to 24 hours. It was found that indeed a much deeper growth of TiB into the Ti substrate (~75 ?m) occurred at temperatures very close to the transition  temperature (910°C), compared to that obtained at 1050°C. A diffusion model based on error-function solutions of Fick's second law was developed to quantitatively illustrate the combined effects of the normal B diffusion in the TiB phase and the anomalous B  diffusion in Ti phase in accelerating TiB layer growth. Furthermore, isothermal boriding experiments close to transition temperature (900°C) for a period of 71 hours resulted in coating thickness well above 100 ?m, while at 1050°C, the layer growth saturated after about 24 hours of treatment time.  In the second part of this work, a novel approach named "cyclic-phase-changediffusion, (CPCD)," to create deeper TiB2 and TiB coating layers on CP-Ti by cyclic  thermal processing, has been investigated. It was found that thermal cyclic B diffusion in Ti across the alpha(?)-beta(?) phase transition temperature led to highly hardened surface layers enriched with TiB whiskers that grow to depths exceeding 120 ?m. By  solving the transient heat transport problem for cyclic changes in surface temperatures, it was found that there is a "heat-packet" that travels back and forth from the surface to the interior of the material. This heat-packet appears to transport B dissolved in ?-Ti into interior causing increased coating depths.

description: The use of external fields such as magnet and ultrasound to enhance the targeted drug delivery (TDD) by nano-microcarriers could be a potential method. In this research, the drug delivery of magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) coated nanoliposomes and microbubbles (MBs) to the atherosclerosis plaque was investigated under magnetic and ultrasound fields in terms of their adhesion to the plaque through ligand–receptor binding. The Halbach arrangement enhanced the surface density of nanoliposomes and MBs adhered to the plaque by ∼121\% and ∼94\%, respectively. A focused transducer at the power of 60W led to better drug delivery performance and caused ∼67\% and ∼58\% enhancement in the surface density of nanoliposomes and MBs adhered to the plaque, respectively. Better drug delivery efficiency was achieved upon using a magnetic field as compared with the ultrasound field. The simultaneous employment of magnetic and ultrasound fields can increase the delivery of nanoliposomes and MBs by ∼148\% and ∼121\%, respectively. The results of this study can broaden our insight on the effects of a magnet (its size, location, and arrangement) and the type of ultrasound transducer on TDD to the carotid artery disease using nanoliposomes and MBs.

description: We collected a new data set of 1354 broadband SPdKS waveforms sampling the western Pacific Ocean region. These data indicate that multiple ultra-low velocity zones (ULVZs) exist in this region. We compared these data to synthetic seismograms computed with the axisymmetric finite difference method PSVaxi for a suite of 517 unique ULVZ models. The region beneath the North and South Philippine Sea shows no evidence for ULVZ presence. The region beneath the Coral Sea shows a large ULVZ, which is approximately 700 x 700 km in lateral dimensions and up to 20 km thick. Multiple small scale ULVZs approximately 180 x 180 km and up to 10 km thick are inferred beneath the South China Sea. Our findings are consistent with previous efforts utilizing the ScP seismic phase and provide additional constraints on ULVZ elastic parameters.

description: Diseases associated with some of the human herpes viruses have been recognized for centuries; these include fever blisters or herpes labialis, herpes genitalis, varicella and zoster. It is only within the past decade or two that the impact of these viruses in medicine has been appreciated. this increased interest has led to new information on various aspects of human herpes viruses and their resultant diseases, such as molecular and genetic basis, epidemiology, latency and oncogenesis, immunology, clinical spectrum, diagnosis, prevention and treatment, that is of critical interest to many many practitioners, since herpes simplex virus infections of the oral and genital areas are among the most common infectious illnesses involving human beings. Both Primary and recurrent forms of these vital infections occur.  There is currently no consistently efficacious therapy for herpes infections. Although many different modalities have been tried, including antiviral agents such as adenine arabinoside and idoxuridine, topical surfactants including diethyl ether and chloroform, immunostimulators such as vaccines and photodynamic inactivation, none have met with great success.
Exploring the limits of near-field fluorescence microscopy: toward molecular-scale imaging of biological systems
Creators: name: Mangum, Benjamin Daniel
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012

description: This dissertation describes the advancements made towards the implementation of Tip-Enhanced Fluorescence Microscopy (TEFM) in imaging biological specimens. This specialized type of microscopy combines the chemical specifi city of optical microscopy techniques with the resolution of atomic force microscopy (AFM).  When an AFM probe is centered in the focal spot of an excitation laser with axial polarization, the probe concentrates the optical  field such that it can be used to  induce nanometer scale fluorescence.  The physical mechanisms of this optical  field enhancement are set forth in detail. The feasibility of this technique for imaging bimolecular networks is discussed in regard to the requirements for adequate image contrast, as well as for obtaining fi eld enhancement in aqueous environments. A semianalytical model for image  contrast for TEFM has been developed. This model shows that using demodulation techniques greatly increases the image contrast attainable with this technique, and  is capable of predicting the requisite enhancement factors to achieve imaging of biomolecular networks at good contrast levels. This model predicts that signal  enhancement factors on the order of 20 are needed to image densely packed samples.  This dissertation also highlights a novel tomographical imaging approach. By timestamping the fluorescence photon arrival times, and subsequently correlating  them to the timestamped motion of a vertically oscillating probe, a three-dimensional map of tip-sample interactions can be constructed. The culmination  of these advancements has led to the ability to map the interactions between single carbon nanotubes and single  fluorescent nanocrystals (quantum dots). Various  attempts at using TEFM in water have been thus far unsuccessful. Several explanations for this shortfall have been identi ed|understanding these shortcomings  has helped to identify the optimal excitation conditions for  field enhancement.

description: Systolic time internal (STI) tests are a noninvasive technique for evaluation of left ventricular heart function.  Manual methods for calculating STI are time consuming, very tedious, and require, lengthy mathematical calculations which are prone to error.  A computerized method for measuring STIs using and x-y digitizer tablet as the input device was developed.  The STIs are recorded on photographic paper as in the manual method.  This recording paper is then placed on the x-y digitizer tablet and the points required for calculation of the STI are selected and digitized by the operator.  The computer performs all of the required calculations.  Patient demographic data is entered via a cathode ray terminal (CRT).  The CRT is also used to control editing of the data.  When data entry is completed the STI data is stored in a disc file.  Data can be retrieved from the disc and any parameter reviewed or corrected.  When the operator confirms that all data is correct, the computer generates a hard copy patient report.  This report lists the demographic data, STI measurements for each heart cycle selected, average STI values, STI index values, a derived ejection fraction, and a clinical impression.  Approximately ten minutes are required to enter the data, review the results, and print the patient report.  The manual method requires at least one hour to perform the STI calculations and does not produce a printed report.  The entire computerized system requires less than a thousand dollars worth of additional equipment if the user already has the computer, CRT, and printer.  This computerized STI reporting system changed the status of the STI testing at the hospital where it was developed from that of a research test to that of a useful clinical procedure.
Height and weight discrepancies in the elderly: implications for nursing

Subjects: Older people - Health and hygiene

description: The purpose of this research was to determine relationships between perceived height and weight and measured height and weight in an elderly population.  The study sample consisted of 44 male veterans, age 65 or older, who were mentally cognizant, and able to stand for height and weight measurements.  A descriptive correlational study design was used to explore the relationships of perceived height and weight to measured height and weight.  A data form was used to collect information from subjects about their ages, educational levels, marital status, perceived height and their perceived weight.  The subjects were then measured on a balance-beam scale with a vertical steel bar with movable horizontal bar for weight and height.  Correlations were drawn between perceived height and weight and measured height and weight.  A significant statistical relationship was found.  The subjects' perceived height and weight did correlate highly with their measured height and weight.  ANOVAs were used to test the relationship of variables of age, education and marital status to perceived height and weight.  No significant relationship was found between the variables.  Descriptive statistics were applied to the raw data. It was hypothesized that subjects would have lower values on measured height and weight than perceived height and weight. Statistically, the trend was for the subjects to overestimate their height and underestimate their weight. The underestimation of weight was skewed by subjects with extreme variations from the norm. Finally, the study looked at standards of height and weight in a 65-95 year-old population in relation to this study.  Fifty percent of the study sample fell within the standards.

These methods accelerate compression/decompression and improve compression ratios, which thereby reduce storage requirements, power consumption, and greenhouse emissions. Four CCR codecs have been integrated directly into the netCDF library for widespread use. These include two project-developed lossy codecs that quantize data 20-40% more efficiently than before. Geoscience and engineering datasets (and archives like CMIP7), can now store data in half the amount of space required with DEFLATE while still preserving all scientifically meaningful information.

Receptor Agonist, Antagonist and Enzyme Inhibitors for Studying Lysolipid Signaling
Creators: name: Jiang, Guowei
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2014

description: Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA, 1- or 2-radyl-sn-glycerol 3-phosphate) is an important phospholipid, which elicits growth-factor-like effects in a number of cell types through cell surface G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Extracellularly, the sole source of LPA is from the hydrolysis of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) by a secreted enzyme Autotaxin (ATX) through its lysophospholipase D activity. Due to exhibition of common features of the phosphodiesterase family, ATX was included as the second member of the nucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase (NPP) family. The emergence of ATX-LPA receptor axis has encouraged researchers to develop novel therapies for the prevention and treatment of cancer and other diseases. In order to study the precise physiological roles of each LPA receptors and ATX, I synthesized a set of LPA and LPC analogues as either ATX inhibitors or LPA receptor agonists/antagonists. Specific modifications in this thesis include optimization of the polar phosphonate head of LPA to phosphorothioate, restriction of glycerol backbone of LPA to phenyl ring and change of phosphonate head to vinyl sulfone in LPC molecule. All these analogues were tested in either in vitro or in vivo assays through external collaborations. One interesting result includes the identification of sn-2 radyl phosphorothioate analogues of LPA (sn-2 OMPT) as the most potent LPA5 receptor agonists. Furthermore, aromatic phosphonate analogues of LPA displayed very potent ATX inhibition. An in vivo study revealed that one of aromatic phosphonate analogues significantly reduced pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin. In addition, fluorophosphonate and vinyl sulfone analogues of LPC were designed as activity-based probe (ABP) for selected enzymes of the NPP family. The study indicated that fluorophosphonate analogues cannot serve as ABP due to its high reactivity. In contrast, vinyl sulfone ABP analogues of LPC showed good inhibition of ATX. Meanwhile, the kinetics and dialysis suggested that vinyl sulfone analogues were irreversible inhibitors of ATX. We are still working on finding further evidence for irreversible inhibition.

Micronucleus Tests

description: There is a paucity of in vitro tests to determine potential genotoxicity in human beings.  In response to this need, a modified micro culture system was developed in order to study micronuclei production in human peripheral blood lymphocytes.  Phytohemagglutinin (PHA) was added to peripheral blood lymphocytes exposed to increasing doses of gamma radiation.  Results show that either PHA or radiation alone induces micronuclei production above background levels.  However,  PBML exposed to gamma radiation followed by incubation with PHA do produce micronuclei.  A standardized assay measuring micronuclei, gama interferon, and DNA production, and an interpretation of the mechanism of induction of PBML micronuclei are presented.

Herniorrhaphy

description: The problem investigated was whether or not the presence or absence of window that hospitalized patients can look out of from their beds makes any difference in their physiological course of recovery after surgery.  The study was of a descriptive, retrospective, exploratory nature, utilizing two hundred surgical subjects.  On half of the patients had windows and the others had no windows.  The season of hospitalization was considered in each case. The subjects were categorized according to type of surgery:  hystetectomy, herniorrhaphy, and nasal surgeries.  The physiological variables studied were temperature, heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure.  Other factors accounted for were age, sex temperature, heart rate and blood pressure taken at time of admission, smoking and length of hospital stay.  Four null hypotheses were developed and applied to each of the three groups of patients.  1. There will be no statistically difference in group mean post operative temperature between patients without windows and patients with windows in either summer or winter.  2. There will be no statistically significant difference in group mean post operative heart rate between patients without windows and patients with windows in either summer or winter.  3. There will be no statistically significant difference in group mean post operative systolic blood pressure between patients without windows and patients with windows in either summer or winter.  4. There will be no statistically significant difference in group mean post operative diastolic blood pressure between patients without windows and patients with windows in either summer or winter.  The significance level was present at p?0.05.  The statistics used were Analysis of Variance and Analysis of Covariance.  The results for the hysterectomy group did not meet the required p?0.05.  The hypotheses were accepted.  The herniorrhaphy group showed a statistically significant result.  Diastolic blood pressure was higher for male herniorrhaphy patients with windows in the summer months (p=0.027).  The hypothesis was rejected.  The hypothesis concerned with systolic blood pressure and heart rate, however, were accepted.  There were no statistically significant results for the nasal surgery group.  All hypotheses were accepted.  A recommendation for further study is a long term window/no window study using a large population of chronically ill patient who are confined to their assigned beds and lack the mobility of the patients in this study.

experiment workflow

description: Today’s testbed experimentation is ad-hoc, lengthy and manual. This makes it hard to reuse experiments and reproduce results. Sometimes even authors struggle to reproduce their prior work. Testbeds focus on experiment’s physical design, not the entire lifecycle. This poster describes our project, which t supports experiments though the entire lifecycle: through design, running, monitoring, storage, analysis, sharing and reuse stages. We do so by creating a new experiment representation, called DEW. DEW has three parts: scenario - a human-readable list of actors and actions as well as their dependencies, constraints - physical requirements for testbed nodes and topology on which the scenario will run and bindings - actual commands to run for each action and each dependency from the scenario. On top of this common experiment representation, we build other support services for experiment lifecycle, and we build translators that generate different topology and runtime scripts for different testbeds.
Risk Prediction of Multiple Selected Chronic Diseases Using Self and Proxy-Reported Family Health History and Lifestyle Risk Factors

description: Family health history (FHH) is an independent risk factor for predicting an individual's chance of developing selected chronic diseases. Though various FHH tools have been developed, many research questions remain to be addressed. Before FHH can be used as an effective risk assessment tool in public health screenings or population-based research, it is important to understand the quality of collected data and evaluate risk prediction models. No literature has been identified whereby risks are predicted by applying machine learning solely on FHH. This dissertation addressed several questions. First, using mixed methods, we defined 50 requirements for documenting FHH for a population-based study. Second, we examined the accuracy of self- and proxy-reported FHH data in the Health Family Tree database, by comparing the disease and risk factor rates generated from this database with rates recorded in a cancer registry and standard public health surveys. The rates generated from the Health Family Tree were statistically lower than those from public sources (exceptions: stroke rates were the same, exercise rates were higher). Third, we validated the Health Family Tree risk predictive algorithm. The very high risk (≥2) predicted the risk of all concerned diseases for adult population (20 ~ 99 years of age), and the predictability remained when using disease rates from public sources as the reference in the relative risk model. The referent population used to establish the expected rate of disease impacted risk classification: the lower expected disease rates generated by the Health Family Tree, in comparison to the rates from public iv sources, caused more persons to be classified at high risk. Finally, we constructed and evaluated new predictive models using three machine learning classifiers (logistic regression, Bayesian networks, and support vector machine). A limited set of information about first-degree relatives was used to predict future disease. In summary, combining FHH with valid risk algorithms provide a low cost tool for identifying persons at risk for common diseases. These findings may be especially useful when developing strategies to screen populations for common diseases and identifying those at highest risk for public health interventions or population-based research.
Elements: Bifrost: A CPU/GPU Pipeline Framework for High-Throughput Data Acquisition and Analysis

description: Modern computers, including cell phones and tablets, have sophisticated Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) that render the beautiful graphic displays in games. We are developing software that takes advantage of these same GPUs for capturing and processing data from astronomical telescopes. This allows us to benefit from all the years of effort spent developing these powerful computational tools. This software, known as Bifrost, is currently in use at the Long Wavelength Array (LWA), a radio telescope for exploration of a broad scientific portfolio ranging from the study of Cosmic Dawn when the first stars and galaxies lit up the Universe, to understanding the properties of the Earth's ionosphere. We are actively developing Bifrost to make it both more powerful and easier to use for other telescopes. Eventually we aim for Bifrost to be available as a more general purpose framework that can be applied to research projects beyond astronomy.

 About 5 years ago we adopted a commodity equipment design for the second LWA station (LWA-SV) which makes use of computing servers with GPUs to handle the data capture, beamforming, and correlation at the station level. Previously these functions were taken on by dedicated hardware referred to as the Digital Processor. However, this custom-hardware design was expensive to build and maintain, lacks flexibility, and cannot be easily replicated for future LWA stations. In contrast the commodity approach is easier to maintain, much more flexible and expandable, and can be readily adapted to new LWA stations. We are engaged in a concentrated effort to improve the underpinnings of Bifrost. This involves increasing the data rates that Bifrost is capable of handling, improving the application programming interface, and providing tools to make it easier for users to develop and test new pipelines. Through this award we are working with collaborators to incorporate Bifrost in telescopes and instruments currently under development. The availability of Bifrost will increase the scientific return of not only radio astronomy but also other areas where high throughput data processing is needed.

description: The purpose of this study was twofold: a) to investigate factors which impact on maternal attachment during pregnancy, and b) to increase attachment behaviors and attitudes by means of a prenatal acquaintance teaching protocol.  A pretest-posttest control group design was used with random assignment to an experimental or control group.  The prenatal acquaintance teaching protocol was presented to the experimental group and consisted of a discussion of fetal capabilities and responses, feeling for fetal position and listening to the fetal heart.  Experimental group participants were asked to keep a Behavioral Record for 1 week noting fetal responses to maternal activities and states.  Findings suggested that for a well-educated, healthy population of women who have attended prenatal classes, additional teaching about prenatal attachment does not result in a measurable change in reported behaviors and attitudes indicative of attachment.

description: Ratiometric signal detection has been widely used in bioelectrochemical sensors because of the good stability and selectivity. A novel biosensor is reported for nucleic acid detection based on the ratio of the oxidation peak current ratio between ferrocene (Fc) and methylene blue (MB) (IFc/IMB) using a proximity-dependent surface hybridization strategy. The design of hairpin capture was shown to reduce the possibility of the hybridization with the detection probe in the absence of the target which improved the specificity. Moreover, this approach improved the signal stability. Additionally, a linear relationship was observed between the ratio of IFc/IMB and the logarithm of the absolute value of DNA concentration from 1.0 × 10−12 M to 1.0 × 10−16 M. This biosensor possessed high sensitivity with a detection limit as low as 0.64 × 10−16 M. Moreover, good selectivity was obtained for the biosensor by identifying the target of the single-base mismatch. Therefore, this ratiometric electrochemical biosensor has great potential applications for nucleic acid detection and medical clinical diagnosis.

description: Galaxy is an open-source, web-based framework, primarily for data-intensive biomedical research, that is used by more than 20,000 researchers worldwide in many areas. Current Galaxy implementation does not support running applications on GPUs and accelerators like FPGAs. There is also no support for dynamic resource scheduling and management in Galaxy. Our objectives include re-engineering the Galaxy framework to enable GPUs and accelerators like FPGAs as "first-class" compute engines, enlarging the Galaxy community by bringing GPU and FPGA-supported tools, enabling Galaxy tools to take better advantage of emerging cluster scheduling capabilities as well as innovations on storage system management and achieving significant improvements in performance scalability and energy efficiency. We currently integrated GPU-Aware Computation Mapping for seamless execution of GPU-supported tools. We also created a containerized version of the Racon tool. Next, we created a GPU-supported version of the methylation calling tool and tested it using Galaxy. We implemented Kubernetes GPU scheduling support to enable accelerated job scheduling and execution in clusters.
