description: “Atherosclerosis” – the process of hardening of the arteries that leads to heart attacks – is caused not only by increased cholesterol build-up, but also by inflammation in the blood vessel wall. Inflammation is a complex process that can be initiated by high adrenaline levels in the body. It has long been recognized that increased stress – both emotional and physical - can lead to high adrenaline levels and increase heart attack risk. Chronic tobacco cigarette (TC) smokers also have heightened adrenaline levels, and this may contribute to the heart attack risk associated with TC smoking. More recently, we reported that chronic electronic cigarette (EC) users also have significantly increased adrenaline levels – the critical first-step in activation inflammatory atherosclerosis. Furthermore, it is the nicotine, not the non-nicotine constituents in EC aerosol that is responsible for the acute increase in adrenaline. Of concern, using a sophisticated scan called “positron emission tomography,” we detected a significant increase in inflammation in the blood vessels in TC smokers and EC users, lending further support to the concept that ECs, like TCs, activate inflammatory atherosclerosis and may lead to heart attacks. Although EC users have increased adrenaline levels, the mechanisms underlying this increased adrenaline are unknown. In this regard, we have strong data supporting a critical role for inhaled nicotine, and not non-nicotine constituents, in increasing adrenaline levels and increasing the risk of inflammatory atherosclerosis. Nicotine receptors are present throughout the nervous system, including the brain. Chronic use of nicotine products may cause dysregulation of the regions in the brain with nicotine receptors, and lead to increased activation of nerves that carry adrenaline. Our central hypothesis is that EC use increases activation of nerves that carry adrenaline, which trigger inflammation, and that this inflammation, coupled with oxidative stress also increased in EC users, leads to blood vessel dysfunction and atherosclerosis. We will test this hypothesis, and the role of nicotine as the instigator, in the studies presented in this proposal. The results of the proposed studies will have a strong likelihood of improving the public health by determining if ECs activate the mechanisms and pathways that lead to inflammatory atherosclerosis.

description: The human circulatory system is composed of a branching vascular tree giving rise to the microcirculation which serves as the major site of exchange between the blood and tissues. Blood flow distribution among microvascular networks is dynamically controlled to match the supply of oxygen and nutrients, such as glucose, with the demands of the tissues. Diabetes Canada estimates that 1 in 3 Canadians are living with diabetes or prediabetes, and up to 90 to 95% of those living with diabetes are type 2 diabetic. Evidence in the literature suggests the response to insulin is blunted in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and insulin resistant individuals due to endothelial dysfunction. We hypothesized that chronic hyperglycemia and elevated insulin in T2D impairs oxygen mediated blood flow regulation leading to functional defects in capillary network blood flow distribution at rest, in response to oxygen challenges, and during hyperinsulinemia. To test this hypothesis 15- and 27-week-old Sprague Dawley (SD) and Zucker Diabetic Sprague Dawley (ZDSD) rats were fed a normal fat, high fat, or high-sugar high-fat diet, anaesthetized with sodium pentobarbital, mechanically ventilated, and instrumented for systemic monitoring and fluid resuscitation. The extensor digitorum longus muscle was blunt dissected and reflected over a glass coverslip or a gas exchange chamber set in the stage of an inverted microscope. Intravital video microscopy recordings were made during baseline, hyperinsulinemia, and acute changes in local O₂ concentration ([O₂]). Further, in 7-week-old SD rats we quantified the dynamics of capillary hemodynamic responses to changes in tissue [O₂] and CO₂ concentration ([CO₂]) analogous to expected changes at the onset of moderate exercise. We determined that hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp increased capillary hemodynamics and red blood cell oxygen saturation in SD rats; however, there was no response to systemic hyperinsulinemia in ZDSD rats. 27-week-old SD and ZDSD rats had impaired capillary hemodynamic responses to changes in [O₂] following high-fat high-sugar feeding. We quantified profound differences in the dynamics of hemodynamic responses to altered [O₂] and [CO₂] in skeletal muscle which are additive in young healthy SD rats. This demonstrates that prolonged high-fat feeding and T2D lead to functional changes in oxygen reactivity in capillary hemodynamic responses.

description: A survey demonstrating the benefits of aquaculture as weighed against destructive wild fishing practices
description: Fish farming, also known as aquaculture, is the process of growing genetically modified fish in enclosed areas, such as in tanks or netted enclosures. Although large improvements have been made in fish farming, people today still have reservations consuming fish grown from aquaculture.  The human population, of course, has continued to grow, raising the demand for all foodstuffs, including fish.  As a result, fishing techniques that catch enormous amounts of fish in the least amount of time are favored.  However, these techniques (such as trawl net fishing and bottom trawling) cause severe damage to the ocean habitat.  Fish farming is a critical solution that may enable us to both service the growing demand for fish and preserve the remaining ocean habitat.  Therefore, it was imperative that consumers were educated on the benefits of fish farming by filling out a survey on what they knew about aquaculture.  After completing the survey, the consumers started to understand how their small economic choices, aggregated across the population, might preserve and sustain fragile ocean ecosystems.

description: During initiation and progression, tobacco-induced lung cancer may acquire hundreds of different somatic mutations. Although the majority of them do not confer a growth advantage, some of these non-synonymous passenger mutations may generate neoepitopes that bind avidly to autologous MHC molecules leading to immune recognition and subsequent lymphocyte-mediated tumor cell death. Immunotherapy has now changed treatment paradigms in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), however, the course of immune recognition and adaptive response from premalignancy and early stage disease to advanced metastatic disease has not yet been defined. We hypothesize that tumor-specific immune responses can be documented to evolve throughout the course of the disease. To address this hypothesis we plan the following specific aims: 1) To assess specific immune reactivity in the context of metastatic disease. To this end, we will determine putative neoepitopes by whole exome sequencing and T cell clonality by T cell receptor sequencing in malignant pleural effusions (MPE) from lung cancer patients. The immune contexture will be assessed by flow cytometry. 2) To determine the evolution of neoepitope profiles in the spectrum of disease progression. Here we will assess pulmonary premalignant lesions, the associated primary tumor and MPE from individual patients with recurrent disease following surgery. The immune contexture in each compartment will be assessed. 3) To functionally analyze immune reactivity across the spectrum of disease, we will assess tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, peripheral blood lymphocytes and MPE lymphocytes for recognition of associated neoepitopes. Understanding the evolution of neoepitope expression and immune reactivity throughout the spectrum of lung cancer initiation and progression will enable the development and informed application of new, effective immunotherapeutic interventions.

description: The application of chemistry to aid cancer treatment is a difficult but worthwhile pursuit. Some of the challenges associated with cancer therapy include a lack of efficiency and safety, biological barriers, inaccurate targeting, insufficient circulation half-life and multidrug resistance (MDR). However some of these challenges may be overcome or mitigated through the use of lipid polymer hybrid nanoparticles (LPHNPs) of appropriate diameters. LPHNPs are a relatively new class of drug delivery system which combines the advantages of both liposomes and polymers. In this sense they aim to be biocompatible and achieve a circulation half-life long enough to promote substantial accumulation at the targeted cancer site. Nanoparticles with dimensions in the 1-100 nm range have the ability to recognize cancer tissue, overcome biological barriers and accumulate in tumour cells due to poor lymphatic drainage and leaky vasculature of tumours. The versatility of LPHNPs is proven by their ability to encapsulate both lipophilic and hydrophilic drugs. The focus of this study was the optimisation of a one-step LPHNP synthesis. This was achieved through altering the reaction parameters and monitoring the effect this had on the average diameters of the resulting LPHNPs. The effect of sodium salicylate on this reaction was also examined as it solubilises the cancer drug which was intended for loading, erlotinib. The robustness and reproducibility of this reaction was also tested through scale-up reactions. The end result of these experiments was a synthesis method which could consistently produce LPHNPs with average diameters of less than 200 nm.

description: A study of the availability of fresh fruit, specifically apples, to the servicemen and women of the U.S. military serving overseas
description: The servicemen and women of the various branches of the United States military make numerous sacrifices for the country, yet are provided with nutrient deficient and unsatisfactory meals.  Specifically, fresh fruits rarely enter the hands of soldiers deployed abroad simply due to the limited shelf life and strict storage conditions of produce such as apples.  The branch of the military as well as the deployment location influences the frequency and availability of fresh fruit overseas.  While combat zones may not be ideal locations for the farming and harvesting of fresh fruits, America leads the world in the food manufacturing industry.  Thus, the technology employed for the fruit ripening retardation utilized for local grocery stores possesses the potential to be applied to the international food service provided to troops serving overseas.  Factors including but not limited to apple variety, date of harvest, storage conditions, transport conditions, and physical injury all contribute to the lifetime longevity of an apple.  However, the aforesaid factors can be controlled through temporary inhibition of the product of ethylene, which is the biological hormone responsible for fruit ripening.  As a result, the lifetime of fruits such as apples can be extended.  The cost and logistics of transportation and storage of fresh apples from the United States and/or international food contractors must also be considered to determine the economic logic of the aforementioned proposal.

description: Diversifying food selection to promote healthy food preferences
description: Obesity has been defined as a characteristic disease whereby a person contains a high amount of body fat and is beyond the point of being overweight. Children, existing with long-term states of obesity and overweight conditions, reveal a higher incidence in nutritionally related diseases (i.e. CVD, TIDM, TIIDM, etc) and mortality rates. Diseases, previously limited to adults, are now becoming more prevalent in individuals at earlier ages, further suggesting that obesity continues to be a growing issue in the United States. Increasing the exposure of nutritionally related concepts to the public (children and their parents, guardians, or caretakers) can help reduce the numbers of obese persons in society. An interactive program with younger children has been designed to encourage parent-child interactions, supporting the preparation of foods with family members. The project is also intended to expose children to healthier food options by expanding their knowledge about the different types of food present in each food group of the MyPlate visual concept.

Targeting Macrophages in the Cancer Stem Cell Niche to Beat Chemoresistance

description: Recent evidence supports the existence of a small population of cancer cells that are distinct from the rest of the tumor cells. This subset of cancer cells has characteristics of stem cells that enable them to survive chemotherapy treatment. These cells (termed “cancer stem cells”) are thought to remain in patients after treatment to cause relapse, metastasis, and ultimately death. In addition to cancer stem cells, particular immune cells called M2 macrophages play a crucial role in cancer progression and may contribute to chemotherapy failure. We propose that M2 macrophages associate with cancer stem cells to protect them from chemotherapy treatment and that drugs able to decrease M2 macrophages in the tumor may render cancer stem cells more vulnerable to chemotherapy. Therefore, a novel treatment approach that combines blocking M2 macrophages with chemotherapy may improve our ability to successfully treat ovarian cancer.

 Our project, “Targeting Macrophages in the Cancer Stem Cell Niche to Beat Chemoresistance”, will test this hypothesis by studying the effects of inhibiting M2 macrophages on chemotherapy response. In our first Aim, we will treat the cells extracted from patient ascites samples with the macrophage inhibitor GW2580 to measure the effects of treatment on M2 macrophages. We expect to see a decrease in these immunosuppressive cells, allowing a shift in the environment to one that supports tumor killing. Our second Aim will better determine the effect of these M2 macrophages on ovarian cancer stem cells by measuring the properties of ovarian cancer stem cells when they are cultured together with M2 macrophages. Of note, we predict that M2 macrophages will enhance the ability of ovarian cancer stem cells to survive chemotherapy treatment. Finally, in Aim 3, we will test our hypothesis in animal tumor models. Using two mouse models of ovarian cancer, we will first measure the effects of the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel on cancer stem cells and M2 macrophages. We propose that chemotherapy will cause cancer stem cells to recruit M2 macrophages to the tumor. Once there, they will associate with cancer stem cells and further protect them from chemotherapy treatment. We will then test if disrupting this interaction renders cancer stem cells more vulnerable to death from chemotherapy. We will do so by treating mice with a combination of the macrophage inhibitor GW2580 and the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel. If our predictions are accurate, we will observe increased survival along with a reduction in tumors and ascites. We will examine the residual tumors to confirm the effects on M2 macrophages and cancer stem cells. If the results of our experiments support our hypothesis, then adopting this treatment strategy in patients with ovarian cancer may help to improve patient survival.

This area is highly enriched from anthropogenic nitrogen sources and there has been an explosion in jellyfish populations in recent years.  By coupling research and monitoring programs that have been established in the Gulf of Mexico with CODAR Hf radar it is our goal to allow New Jersey to monitor, study and track these harmful blooms of jellyfish back to the sources of eutrophication in coastal waterways.

MATERIAL EXAMINED. — 1 sh., DW130.
REMARKS
This species was described under three different names from the same area off Fernandina (Florida); Clench & Turner (1952: 337-338), acting as First Revisers, selected opalina as the valid name and figured all the type specimens. Our specimen (5.9 mm) is similar in size to the holotype of Epitonium dromia Dall, 1927 (5.8 mm) but smaller that the holotype of E. opalinum (10.6 mm). This is the type species of Nystiella Clench & Turner, 1952, which Bouchet & Warén (1986) treated as a junior synonym of Opaliopsis Thiele, 1928. This species was also reported from Brazil by Andrade et al. 2011. New to Spanish waters and to the eastern Atlantic.

description: Changing Middlesex County, NJ hospitals' automated calling service policy by introducing more language options in scheduling an appointment
description: Foreign born population in the United States is increasing significantly and the language diversity is increasing as well, creating a language barrier between limited English proficient (LEP) residents and the health care system. According to the 2010 census, 18.4% of the Unites States population does not speak English well and another 10.7 % does not speak English at all. It is true that LEP residents do not have the same health care access and quality as people who speak English. As a consequence of the language barrier, LEP patients do not have access to health prevention programs, have poor communication with doctors, are unable to follow up appointments, and face disparities in treatment cost and duration. The availability of medical interpreters and translated information are essential to combat the language barrier in the United States and to provide a better health care service to LEP residents. Another advantage of providing information in different languages is that LEP patients can be health educated and they will have the knowledge to prevent diseases such as breast cancer. To prevent breast cancer, it is important to provide information about low cost clinics for regular checkups and places that offer free mammograms and breast ultrasounds in various languages such as Spanish, Hindi and Mandarin Chinese. Mammograms are the main resource to detect breast cancer at an early stage; thus, LEP women must have access to this service. However, LEP patients face an initial language barrier when they call to schedule a mammogram appointment because the automated calling service of the leading hospitals of Middlesex County, NJ only offer the English language. For this reason, it is essential for hospitals to add more language options in their automated calling service to improve the access of LEP patients to preventive care.

description: A study of the nature of our emotional relationships with food, the benefits of comfort food, and the dangers of emotional eating
description: The notion of comfort foods is a popular idea, as it yields many positive mood benefits, from relationship bonding to the alleviation of sadness and loneliness. However, when continuously consumed for the sake of counteracting negative emotions, detrimental effects can impact an individual's physical and emotional health. Physical detriments include obesity, unhealthy levels of sugars, sodium, and bad cholesterol, as well as increased blood pressure. Emotional detriments include low emotional stability through misuse of comfort foods as an emotional crutch. Research has found that patterns of comfort food consumption are seen between different groups. Cultural differences also exist. Variance continues to be seen in how individuals derive their comfort effect. Comfort can be derived from nostalgic, indulgent, convenience based, or physical means. The prevalent use of comfort foods across a varied spectrum of derivation is a testament to the importance of its discussion. Our community service project aims to educate the public on the ideas surrounding comfort foods, including the benefits and detriments. A comfort food themed art gallery was created consisting of pieces of different media, and is meant to generate interest in learning by framing comfort food related knowledge in the form of art as entertainment. Additionally, our project serves the community of involved artists by providing additional notoriety through accreditation, and by providing the ability to collaborate with new contacts of various artistic mediums. We received 17 submissions from October 10, 2011 to November 10, 2011. Approximately 13 additional submissions are expected. Art forms include music, poetry, and visual art from more than 14 individuals who ranged ethnically from Korean, Japanese, African American, Italian, Filipino, and Egyptian. A total of more than 27 individuals expressed interest in participation. The project was designed to uplift the audiences through various arts and the appreciation of art. This provision of derived comfort is perhaps one of the greater forms of community service.
Implementation Research to Reduce Colorectal Cancer Disparities

description: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most common cause of cancer mortality in the U.S and screening is underutilized (62% U.S. rate in 2015). In California, 71% of eligible adults were screened for CRC in 2016, with lower rates among Latinos (54%). This disparity is urgent given Latinos are the fastest growing population in the U.S. and the largest ethnic group in California (38%) and LA (48%).

 To address this issue, UCLA is partnering with Northeast Valley Health Corporation (NEVHC), a multi-site Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) that serves an uninsured/publicly insured, low income, Latino (86%) population in LA. Only 38% of the 12,270 eligible NEVHC patients have received CRC screening.

 The primary aim of this project is to increase CRC screening at NEVHC. We will implement and evaluate a program that includes patient, provider and health-system elements. We will use a research design that allows us to examine CRC screening using information from NEVHC’s electronic health record (EHR).

 Physicians and staff will receive training, clinical decision support and feedback on screening rates and missed opportunities. System-level changes will focus on workflow changes to ensure providers are informed of patients due for screening and that eligible patients receive a fecal immunochemical test (FIT). During clinical visits, patients will receive a strong provider recommendation, a FIT and culturally-tailored instructions, consultation with a bilingual clinic staff member and a text message reminder the day after their visit. Patients who do not return a FIT in 10 days will receive a second text and a mailed reminder.

 We expect our program will result in higher CRC screening rates, fewer missed opportunities to provide FITs at clinic visits, and increased FIT return. In addition to testing intervention effectiveness, we will closely examine implementation of our program to understand factors that may facilitate or hinder uptake and success.

 Our project balances scientific rigor with a “real world” implementation approach. FQHCs provide essential care to underserved groups and have the infrastructure to sustain effective cancer care delivery strategies. Findings from this work will be critical for informing sustainability and dissemination efforts.

description: A study about the accountability, structure and funding of RUPA and what can be done to improve it
description: Rutgers University Programming Association (RUPA) has come under criticism of late due to the amount of money it has spent on talent and the way that these events are run. Many are upset that Rutgersfest will no longer go on because of their mismanagement, and many more are upset with the amount of money that Nicole “Snookie” Polizzi received for her appearance last spring. These recent strings of controversy have students calling for more transparency within the organization, and a stronger sense involvement from the students. With a change to the RUPA structure and a stronger involvement in the general student body, RUPA would enhance the Rutgers student experience. This would create a greater sense of accountability with the students themselves because they would then have a more direct say and impact on where their own student fees go.
GMO Contamination of Organic Foods

description: A look at the flaws of the USDA's National Organic Program and the need for a new organic certification process to give consumers and informed choice about whether or not to consume GMOs
description: Lack of oversight and government regulation has resulted in many U.S. farmers with contamination from nearby farms growing Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs).   As of 2003 the amount of global land area planted for growing GMOs was 167 million acres and the U.S. comprised 63% of that figure occupying 105 million acres(1).  Today with over 60 percent of the processed foods on the U.S. supermarket containing ingredients mostly derived from: alfalfa, canola, corn, cotton, flax, papaya, rice, soy, sugar beets, zucchini and yellow summer squash, containment becomes an ever increasing more challenging task especially for organic farmers.  One such farmer tested his “organic” corn and found 6% contaminated with a GM strain.  After detecting the contamination himself back in 2007, Albert Strauss, owner of the Strauss Creamery and five other natural food producers (including whole Foods) opted to voluntarily test their food and get on the band wagon of the Non-GMO project(2).  The Non-GMO Project offers annual testing of the food before it’s processed at critical times along the supply chain.  The projects mission brings transparency, reliability, and accountability to growers who want to grow non GMO crops and consumers who want to purchase them.  The introduction of labeling a product Non-GMO adds a whole other element to what’s considered “organic” or certified organic.  Many products on the market certified organic with a USDA stamp of approval have now come to be questioned whether or not they are compromised with ingredients derived from GMOs.   For our service project we want to try and get more retailers on board with the non GMO project and bring awareness to consumers so that they can make a more informed choice.
