Subjects: Glucose
Morphology

description: Non-specific alkaline phosphatase, ATP-ase, and glucose-6-phosphatase activities were assayed in  intact tissue cultured cell from monkey kidneys with suitable substrate-buffer systems.  The results were expressed in terms of released orthophosphate, over a give time, from cells in contrast with the sodium salts of glycerophosphate, ATP, or glucose-6-phosphate.  The reproducibility of results was verified in each experiment in multiple analysis on a number of cell monolayers treated in an identical fashion.  The effect of substrate and substrate concentration, pH, Ca++ and Mg++ concentration, glucose and L-glutamine, maleic acid, and 2,4-dinitrophenol on certain of these enzyme activities was determined.  Possible variations in enzymatic activity between normal and poliovirus infected cells were noted, and the capacity of the cells to synthesize virus was measured under each of the assay conditions used.  Factors which interfered with normal viral synthesis were reproduced with cells in a  nutritionally complete medium, in certain instance, to see if the  original interference still persisted, or to find whether the amount of virus produce in a given time was altered from normal tissue culture condition.  The results from these experiments are summarized in the Discussion of this thesis.

description: In the present study, an attempt had been made to explore the potential of natural colourants and its application in the textile industry. Natural colorants extracted from the sepals of Mussaenda hybrid, fruits of Carissa carandas and Syzygium cumini were applied on cotton, silk and polyester yarns accompanied with mordants (Alum, Acetic acid, Copper sulphate and Lemon juice) and without mordant, using an aqueous method. UV-Vis spectra of different natural dyes were determined. Percent absorption, colour co-ordinates values (CIELab), colour strength (K/S) values and fastness properties of the selected dyed yarns were tested. Different shades of yellow, pink and purple were obtained from the aqueous extracts of Mussaenda hybrid, Carissa carandas and Syzygium cumini. K/S values were enhanced with the addition of mordants. Fastness results of the selected dyed yarns showed good grades. The present study demonstrated that the above plants could be a promising source of natural colourants.

The Many Roles of 2-0-Sulfotransferase in Early Zebrafish Development
Creators: name: Cadwalader, Erin L.
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2014

description: Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG) are a family of cell surface and extracellular matrix proteins with glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains covalently attached to a protein core. O-sulfotransferases modify these GAG chains by catalyzing the transfer of a sulfate to a specific position on HSPG GAG chains. Although the role of specific HSPG modifications have been described in cell culture and invertebrates, little is known about their functions or abilities to modulate specific cell signaling pathways in vertebrate development. My thesis research focused on the many roles a particular GAG chain modifying enzyme, 2-O-sulfotransferase (2-OST), plays in early development. To characterize the function of 2-OST in early zebrafish development we knocked down this gene via morpholino and found that 2-O-sulfation controls epiboly. Epiboly is the process by which the cells of the blastodisc move towards the vegetal pole from the animal pole to envelop the yolk cell. Knocking down 2-OST results in a failure to initiate and progress through epiboly due to alterations in assembly of filamentous actin, in microtubule organization, and in yolk cell endocytosis. Syndecans 2 and 4, HSPG core proteins, appear to be targets of the 2-OST activity which contribute to this phenotype. 2-OST activity modulates the activity of multiple signaling cascades. We found that 2-OST is an essential component of canonical Wnt signaling in zebrafish development. 2-OST deficient embryos have decreased β-catenin and E-cadherin protein levels, reduced cell adhesion, and altered cell cycle regulation. The cell cycle and iv adhesion defects in 2-OST-deficient embryos can be rescued by reactivation of intracellular Wnt pathway components, but not by overexpression of Wnt8 ligand. Together these results indicate that 2-OST functions within the Wnt pathway downstream of ligand signaling and upstream of intracellular localization and function. Knocking down 2-OST also affects FGF signaling. While Wnt epistasis experiments show loss of 2-O-sulfation impairs some signaling interactions at the cell surface, epistasis experiments with components of the FGF signaling cascade suggest loss of 2-O-sulfation in some contexts can promote signaling which occurs at lower levels in regular developmental contexts. These results suggest HSPG function is essential for early development.

description: This qualitative descriptive study was undertaken to address the lack of research based published literature that compares actual to expected home birth experience, or considers how well home birth met the needs that drove the decision to birth at home. Eleven women who gave birth at home with a certified nurse midwife (CNM) in attendance in rural southcentral Montana between September 1, 1995 and September 1, 1996 were interviewed. The participants varied in age, education, socioeconomic status, parity, religious affiliation, and prior birth sites. Five major categories of influences were found to be important to the decision process: (1) learning about the home birth option, (2) considering outside influences, (3) factoring in personal attitudes toward hospitals and mainstream health care, (4) consideration of reasons not to have home births and resolution of those concerns, and (5) consideration of reasons they would like to give birth at home.

description: Lack of employee commitment may be a critical threat to organizational survival and growth. Private Christian mission owned universities seem to be grappling with survival and growth threats associated with a lack of employee commitment, which is likely to be causing inefficient daily operations, delay tasks completion, fostering customer dissatisfaction, and sabotaging revenue generation initiatives. The study examined the extent to which transformational and transactional leadership styles influence employee commitment in a Nigerian private Christian mission university. Survey research design was used for the study. The target population was 774 full-time employees of the University. The sample size of 89 respondents consisted of faculty and non-teaching staff and was determined using the Taro Yamane formula. The Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ) and Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) were employed as data collection instruments. The study employed proportional and simple random sampling methods to allocate and distribute the questionnaires to respondents. Correlation coefficient and simple regression analysis were used to analyse data. The findings suggested that transformational and transactional leadership styles significantly affected employee commitment. The findings implied that the social and economic exchange relationship fostered by transformational and transactional leadership behaviours in organizations promote employee emotional attachment and inspires them to be dedicated to its goals. The study recommended that organizations' leaders should consciously create work environments that promote employee trust, responsible, and productivity behaviours.

A Seminal Fluid Serine Protease, TRY-5, Signals Caenorhabditis Elegans Sperm Activation
Creators: name: Ptolemy, Joseph Robert Smith
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2014

description: During mating males transfer not only sperm, but also protein and other substances in their seminal fluid. The functions of some seminal fluid components have been identified and these include aiding in sperm motility and protecting sperm from the harsh environment of the female reproductive tract. However, the function of most seminal fluid components are unknown. In this dissertation, I identify a seminal fluid protease, TRY-5, in Caenorhabditis elegans and show that it functions in sperm activation, a necessary step in production of functional sperm. C. elegans is a nematode that consists of two sexes: males, which produce only sperm, and hermaphrodites, which produce both sperm and eggs. During activation, each sperm cell develops a pseudopod, which allows sperm to migrate and fertilize oocytes. Male sperm are stored as nonmotile, nonactivated sperm, and little is known about the extracellular signals required for their activation. SWM-1, a protein with two trypsin inhibitor-like domains and a secretion signal, was identified as an inhibitor of male sperm activation. Here, I show a trypsin-like serine protease, TRY-5, is an extracellular signal for sperm activation necessary for sperm activation in swm-1 mutant males. While swm-1 mutant males contain prematurely activated sperm, swm-1 try-5 males contain nonactivated sperm. Despite being a signal for activation, try-5 is not required for male fertility, suggesting the existence of additional sperm activation signals. This alternative iv signal likely comes from hermaphrodites, since a known hermaphrodite sperm activation pathway is required for male sperm activation in the absence of TRY-5. To test whether TRY-5 functions in seminal fluid, I examined the localization of TRY-5 protein. A TRY-5::GFP fusion expressed under a try-5 promoter localized to several tissues of the somatic gonad that are involved in the storage and transfer of sperm, including the vas deferens and valve region. I followed TRY-5::GFP localization during mating and found that TRY-5::GFP was transferred to hermaphrodites, making TRY-5 a likely seminal fluid component. Transfer occurred in a consistent pattern, suggesting this process is well regulated. Overall, these results suggest that TRY-5 is a protease seminal fluid signal of sperm activation.

The effects of metabolites of polyphenols and vitamin E on modulating the high glucose-induced endothelial dysfunction
Creators: name: Qian, Ying
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2013

description: Hyperglycemia is an obvious candidate contributor in the development of endothelial dysfunction in association with insulin resistance. A great deal of evidence demonstrates that polyphenols and vitamin E can improve endothelial dysfunction, but little research has examined whether their metabolites exert protective effects on endothelial cells. In the current study, we determined the mechanisms by which metabolites can protect against high glucose-induced endothelial dysfunction in human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs). Confluent HAECs were treated with 5mM or 25mM glucose for 48h, or pretreated with 3-hydroxyphenylpropionic acid (3-HPP) at 1μM, Piceatannol (Picea) at 5μM, quercetin 3-glucuronide (Quer-3-glu) at 2μM, and 2,7,8-trimethyl-2-(beta-carboxyethyl)-6-hydroxychroman (ɤ-CEHC) at 3μM, respectively, for 24h, and then treated with high glucose (25mM) for 48h. Nitric oxide (NO) production, total and phosphorylation of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS), protein kinase B (Akt) and extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK), and reactive oxygen species (ROS)/reactive nitrogen species (RNS) production were determined. In HAECs, insulin-stimulated NO production (59%), eNOSSer1177, and AktSer473 phosphorylation (1.3-fold and 1.5-fold, respectively) was increased (p < 0.05) in cells treated with 5mM glucose. Insulin had no stimulatory effect on NO or eNOS signaling in cells treated with 25mM glucose. However, cells pretreated for 24h with 3-HPP (1μM), Picea (5μM), Quer-3-glu (2μM), and ɤ-CEHC (3μM), respectively, and then treated with 25mM glucose for 48h, had normalized (p < 0.05) insulin-stimulated NO production, eNOSSer1177, and AktSer473 phosphorylation. There was no difference in basal NO production, eNOSSer117, AktSer473, ERKThr202/204 phosphorylation, or insulin-stimulated ERKThr202/204 phosphorylation at each treatment. ROS/RNS production was stimulated by treatment with 25mM glucose (65%, p < 0.05), and prevented when HAECs were pretreated with metabolites. In conclusion, metabolites of quercetin, resveratrol, catechin, and gamma tocopherol rescue high glucose-induced endothelial dysfunction as evidenced by increased NO production. We propose the mechanism occured through a reduction of ROS/RNS that normalized Akt-mediated eNOSSer1177 phosphorylation.
Modern saints' plays: a history of the genre

description: In medieval England, one of the most popular forms of drama was the saint's play. These plays depicted the lives, martyrdoms, and miracles of Catholic saints. After England's Reformation most of these scripts were lost due to destruction and censorship. In the nineteenth century, a combination of interest in medieval painting and architecture as well as the Oxford and Decadent movements led to a revival of Catholicism and hagiography. The second half of the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century saw a proliferation of plays concerning Catholic saints. This project asserts that these plays constitute a new genre, which I name "modern saints' plays." I argue that these plays represent a new manifestation of medieval saints' plays, subject to the conventions of an international modern theater. The project describes the history of saints' plays as they disappeared from England in the Renaissance and reappeared in the mid-nineteenth century. It analyzes Flaubert's Temptation of St. Antony and Wilde's Salome as examples of decadent saints' plays focusing on the suffering of the saint in a separate spiritual place. An analysis of Maeterlinck's A Miracle of St. Anthony (1904) provides a stylistic transition to the modern saints' plays written between the World Wars, which present saints in a critical dramaturgy. The central chapters consider three responses to popular interest in Catholic saints by George Bernard Shaw, T.S. Eliot, and Gertrude Stein. The project defines Shaw's socio-religious critique in Saint Joan, T.S. Eliot's use of several dramatic traditions to convey his meditation on the conflict between religion and political secularism in Murder in the Cathedral, and Gertrude Stein's use of literary cubism in Four Saints in Three Acts to demythologize the impressions of saints that fill the modern world. Finally, a discussion of the privatization of religion reveals a new renaissance of saints' plays in the bountiful DVD offerings of such distributors as the Ignatius Press and the Catholic network, EWTN. I suggest that with this latest iteration of Catholic saints' plays, the Church attempts to regain control over the spiritual image of saints in a desecularization of the twenty-first century.

Tn916[delta]e transposon mutagenesis and inactivation of group B streptococcus C5a-ASE
Creators: name: Ghazizadeh, Saeid
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012

description: Group B Streptococcal infections are a major cause of sepsis, pneumonia and meningitis in human neonates.  The inflammatory response to invasion of the body by these organisms is sparce, however.  The majority of strains of group B streptococci rapidly inactive the major complement derived chemotactic factor, C5a.  Inactivation is due to an enzyme with an apparent molecular weight of 120,000 which cleaves a heptapeptide from the carboxy terminus of the C5a molecule which is critical in binding of C5a to neutrophil receptors.  Cleavage of this heptapeptide results in an approximate 650 Dalton decres in Mr by SDS-PAGE.  We used the transposon Tn916 containing and erythromycin resistance gene in mutagenesis studies with a type III GBS C5a-ase positive strain.  After screen approximately 3659 transposon-induced mutants of the parent strain containing the erythromycin resistance gene, a C5a-ase negative mutant was found.  When incubated with recombinant human C5a (rhC5a), this strain failed to inhibit C5a induced neutrophil chemotaxis or adherence to gelatin coated surfaces.  Furthermore, the mutant strain failed to alter the migration of rhC5a in SDS-PAGE.  Transposon insertion into the GBS was confirmed by southern blot analysis.  This transposon induced C5a-ase negative group B streptococcal strain may contribute greatly to our understanding of the role of GBS C5a-ase in the pathogenesis of disease due to these organisms.

description: Bees are becoming more and more valued for the extremely important role they play in ecological communities, especially for their pollinating action. The state of Roraima, Brazil has areas of native vegetation and variety of stingless bees, and this potential is still untapped. The objective of this study was to determine the chemical composition of materials collected from the nests of Frieseomelitta silvestrii (FRIESE, 1902), identified in São Luiz, in Roraima state, Brazil. The chemical composition of the collected material was determined by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The dichloromethane extracts of propolis, cerumen threads and resin present in the stingless bee nest presented differentiated profiles with the occurrence of low polarity compounds.

description: Chemotactic activity and activation of macarophages by immunostimulating species of propionibacteria were investigated.  Although previous publications have indicated that the immunostimulating species of Propionibacterium, P. acnes, P. avidum, and P. granulosum have a direct chemotactic effect on macrophages, an extensive examination of whole cells and supernatant medium from a culture of P. avidum 4982 failed to confirm this observation.  It is suspected that the reports describing this effect may have been in error.  Peritoneal macrophages, from mice injected 3 to 5 days previously was a killed suspension of P. acnes, were able to lyse tumor cells, exhibited increased spreading, contained increased numbers of granules and vacuoles, and had an increase level of acid phospatase activity.  In contrast, macrophages from mice injected with a control organism, P. jensenii, did not posses the same ability to lyse tumor cells and had a lesser degree of morphological change, but did have an increased level of acid phosphatase actiavity.  Neither type of macrophage had an increase in protein content.  These results confirm previous reports on in vitro lysis of tumor cells by macarophages activated with P. acnes and show that morphological changes, but not acid phosphatase activity nor protein content, are correlated with activation.  Studies also showed that activation could be achieved with a broad rage of different amounts of material, down to µg, suggesting that the mechanism of action of this organism is some type of trigger action.  The macrophage-activating factor is a heat stable molecule which seems to resist extraction and thus appears to be firmly attached to the cell.  It is not yet possible to determine the location of the factor on the bacterial cell; isolated cell walls or cytoplasmic fractions did not have activity. It appears that the integrity  of the cell must be preserved for the organism to be active.  A review of the literature shows that there has been confusion concerning the nature of the active component(s) of this organism.  The us of macrophage activation as a measure of activity allows the results to be related to previous work and is therefore a means of resolving the confusion which has existed.

description: A new secoiridoid glycoside, 3’-O-p-trans-coumaroylsweroside (1), together with twenty-nine compounds (2–30), were isolated from the roots and flowers of Fagraea fragrans Roxb. (Gentianaceae). Their structures were identified by analysis of mass spectrometric and NMR spectroscopic data. Compounds 2, 4, 6, 11 and 13–15 showed weak to moderate cytotoxicity against cholangiocarcinoma cancer cells lines (KKU-213, KKU-055 and KKU-214). We report the first phytochemical investigation of the roots and flowers of F. fragrans, as only the essential oil of the latter has been investigated.
Kinetic and mechanistic investigation of the pyrolysis of unique coal model compounds
Creators: name: Shigley, John Koeller
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Coal liquefaction

description: In an attempt to better understand the fundamental chemistry of coal pyrolysis, the pyrolysis of model compounds containing structures similar to the prominent structures of bituminous coal has  been studied. These compounds have been pyrolyzed in  the temperature range 588 to 723 K (315 to 450°C) under isothermal constant volume batch reaction conditions. Experiments were conducted, depending on  the temperature and model compound, at times from one to two-hundred forty minutes. Pyrolysis product mixtures were analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.  The compounds successfully studied include 9-benzyl-l, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydrocarbazole (9BTHC), 1-benzyl-l, 2, 3, 4- tetrahydroisoquinoline-(1BTHIQ) and 4-benzylpiperidine(4BPP). The average material  balances of 9BTHC and 1BTHIQ were 96.5% and 98.3%, respectively, with that of 4BPP being slightly lower (92.9%). The principal products observed during the pyrolysis of 9BTHC were 9-benzylcarbazole (9BC),  1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydrocarbazole (THC), carbazole (CARB) and toluene (TOL). The pyrolysis of 1BTHIQ produced 1 - benzylisoquinoline (1BIQ),  1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ), isoquinoline (ISOQ), and TOL. Observed as 4BPP pyrolyzed were 4-benzylpyridine (4BPY),  pyridine (PYD), and TOL, with other minor products of varying amounts.  The pyrolysis of 9BTHC and 1BTHIQ were conducted in the liquid phase at the lower temperatures, through a mixed phase region and completely in the vapor phase at the higher temperatures. The overall reaction order varied from about two to one as this progression from  liquid to vapor phase occurred. No variation in product distributions occurred as the system varied, except that the conversion dramatically increased.  The stabilization of the thermally produced radicals seems to preferentially occur by hydrogen abstraction from an unreacted or partially reacted model compound molecule, rather than intramolecular rearrangement.  Mathematical models were developed i n an attempt to describe the pyrolysis of 9BTHC and 1BTHIQ utilizing the 'time-concentration' integral technique. Both compounds' pyrolyses are described most effectively with models consisting of all second order reactions.

description: A simple and economical method was developed for the extraction and isolation of pentacyclic triterpenoid lantadene A from the leaves of Lantana camara. The lantadene A displays significant anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties via the inhibition of IKK-mediated NF-κB protein. Therefore, the derivatives of lantadene A were synthesised to further optimise the pharmacophore for anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities. The synthesised compounds were docked into the active site of IKK to find the most potent inhibitor of IKK. Molecular docking studies revealed that 3β,22β-diisobutyl substituted lantadene derivative (10) binds to the IKK protein with the highest affinity. Furthermore, in the in silico ADMET studies, the lead IKK inhibitor (10) was found to be Ames non-toxic, non-carcinogen, and a weak inhibitor of hERG.

Canthon ornatus Redtenbacher 1868: 53
Note. Three presently recognized subspecies of Canthon (Canthon) ornatus have been described, one of which may occur in the research area. The other two are C. (C.) ornatus bipunctatus (Burmeister, 1873) (recorded from Brazil, Argentina) and C. (C.) ornatus ornatus Redtenbacher, 1868 (recorded from Brazil).
Subspecies Canthon (Canthon) ornatus thoracicus Harold, 1868
Canthon thoracicus Harold 1868a: 89 (“Guianas,” Brazil)
Distribution. “Guianas”: Harold 1868a: 89 (as Canthon thoracicus); Gillet 1911b: 34 (as C. thoracicus with C. ornatus as a synonym); A. Schmidt 1922a: 76 (treated as a synonym of C. ornatus which is treated as a variety of C. janthinus Blanchard 1846: 161); Blackwelder 1944: 200 (treated as a synonym of C. ornatum); Vulcano and Pereira 1964: 622 (as C. ornatus [s. l.]). Brazil: Harold 1868a: 89 (as Canthon thoracicus); Gillet 1911b: 34 (as C. thoracicus with C. ornatus as a synonym); A. Schmidt 1922a: 76 (treated as a synonym of C. ornatus which is treated as a variety of C. janthinus Blanchard 1846: 161); Balthasar 1939e: 201 (treated as a synonym of C. ornatus); Blackwelder 1944: 200 (treated as a synonym of C. ornatum); Vulcano and Pereira 1964: 622 (as C. ornatus [s. l.]). Other: A. Schmidt 1922a: 76 (Bolivia, Colombia - treated as a synonym of C. ornatus which is treated as a variety of C. janthinus Blanchard 1846: 161); Blackwelder 1944: 200 (Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia - treated as a synonym of C. ornatum); Vulcano and Pereira 1964: 622 (Argentina, Colombia - as C. ornatus [s. l.]).
Note. The only publication that we are aware of where a distribution is explicitly given for Canthon ornatus thoracicus is the original description in Harold (1868a: 89). The inclusion of “Guianas” in later publications (Gillet 1911b: 34; A. Schmidt 1922a: 76; Blackwelder 1944: 200; Vulcano and Pereira 1964: 622) mentioning the distribution of C. ornatus s. l. is likely based on this record. As we are unaware of any recent records of C. ornatus s. l. from the research area, we consider its occurrence there doubtful and in need of confirmation.
