Neuroplasticity of spinal cord neurons based on piezoelectric stimulation and electrophysiological analysis after stem cell-derived progenitor transplant

Year: 2011

description: Repair strategies in the context of spinal cord injury cover a broad amount of fields. Different approaches have been considered ranging from the chemical, mechanical, pharmacological, material sciences, electrical and chemical engineering sphere. There is much interest in combinational therapies since many approaches yield promising results yet none is beneficial enough in functional terms. There is also a necessity of properly evaluate the improvement these therapies pose from a functional point of view and do it with sufficient resolution to target and invest in strategies with higher potential.    This thesis is born with the interest of contributing to the spinal cord injury field at those two levels. On one side, I have developed an injury model and techniques to test the efficacy of a therapy for spinal cord repair as compared to controls. On the other, I have proposed a combinational therapy in the form of a scaffold that combines biomaterials and electrical fields to stimulate regeneration     In the first part of this thesis, I have developed an animal model to test effectiveness of treatment by analyzing the electromyography signal of the intercostal muscles. The respiratory system is a good test bench, usually neglected in regeneration studies. I have used a mix of engineering approaches from signal processing to animal physiology analysis to provide the test with enough resolution to identify improvement. Then, I have proved the efficacy of the model by using a stem cell therapy.     In the second part of the thesis, I have tested piezoelectric polymers as a useful platform to deliver electrical fields to neurons. I have shown the resulting increase in neuronal growth upon exposure to alternating electrical fields, in concrete, in neuronal branching. These results encourage the use of biocompatible piezoelectric polymers which are very versatile in nature, as a source for combinational therapies. Future studies will translate this in vitro model into an in vivo treatment which will be assessed with the strategy explained in the first part.

First-principles study of electromechanical and polar properties in perovskite oxides and half-Heusler semiconductors
Creators: name: Roy, Anindya
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: This thesis discusses electromechanical and polar properties in two  well-known classes of materials, perovskite oxides and half-Heusler  compounds, using first-principles calculations. Certain features of  the ab initio codes, such as the capability to calculate  polarization based on the modern theory of polarization, or  to apply a finite electric field, are central to the problems  presented in this thesis. Hence these formalisms are discussed,  following a brief opening section on the basic methodology of  density-functional theory. The first problem presented in this thesis concerns the nonlinear  piezoelectric response of ferroelectric PbTiO₃ for the case of a  polarization-enhancing electric field applied along the tetragonal  axis. The dependence of the c/a ratio on electric field is found to  be almost linear in the range up to 500 MV/m, contrary to what  expected from Landau-Devonshire theory, but in qualitative agreement  with a recent experiment. In the second problem we study the energy landscape and ferroelectric  states of double perovskites of the form AA'BB'O₆ in which the  atoms on both the A and B sites are arranged in rock-salt order. If a  ferroelectric instability occurs, the energy landscape will tend to  have minima with the polarization along tetrahedral directions,  leading to a rhombohedral phase, or along Cartesian directions,  leading to an orthorhombic phase. We are not aware of compounds  naturally occurring in this structure, although they might be  synthesized experimentally.  In the final problem, we use a first-principles rational-design  approach to search a large materials family, half-Heusler compounds to  identify semiconductors, and then compute their piezoelectric  properties. This previously-unrecognized class of piezoelectrics may  benefit greatly from calculations such as those presented here. Our  work may provide guidance for experimental verification of existing  compounds and for the experimental realization of other potential  candidates.
The rise of public credit and the eighteenth-century English novel
Creators: name: Roxburgh, Natalie Suzanne
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: It is no coincidence that the novel and public credit both emerged in the early part of the eighteenth century. The epistemological problem of belief unites both economic and novelistic discourses through the language of trust and credit. Unlike private credit, public credit did not operate with the assumption that repayment of the national debt was possible. The Bank of England issued more paper credit than it had bullion to back it, assuming that all creditors would never redeem their notes at once. Because public credit was therefore inherently problematic, writers often took recourse to literary techniques in order to render it coherent to the public whose trust was a factor in its success. Fiction can also prove credible without requiring a ground in empirical reality, much like public credit (which entails a translation of trust in tangible people to trust in abstractions meant to stand in for people: the Bank, the nation, the state, the public, and so on). Part of what makes the novel just that is its capacity to produce a virtual truth through its own narrative strategies, one that requires no tie to the empirical world that the work purports to represent. That is to say, virtue in the novel and virtue in public credit are both virtual. Examining the novel gives us insights into the way public credit works, and also into the way the discourse of political economy obscures its internal problems and contradictions.

In these latitudes
Creators: name: Routledge, Karen
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a stream of popular narratives celebrated  the struggles of European and American explorers who pushed out to the edges of their  known worlds. Many of these adventurers travelled through Inuit homelands in the North  American Arctic, recording their surroundings as inherently forbidding and desolate. These explorers are part of an arctic survival mythology that extends much further and  deeper. In this environmental and cultural history, I consider lesser-known survival  narratives drawn from oral histories and archival sources, namely stories of American  whalers in Inuit territory, Inuit families in the United States, American and Inuit polar  expedition members, and Inuit who remained in their homeland as it changed around  them. I compare the strategies these individuals employed to survive physically,  psychologically, and culturally when they faced hardships such as starvation,  malnutrition, and disease. My four chapters are structured around different ways of  marking ecological and social time, and they are centred on the rich maritime region of  Cumberland Sound on Baffin Island, in what is now Nunavut, Canada. I argue that Inuit  and Americans often saw each other’s latitudes as inhospitable, and that divergent  cosmologies shaped their perceptions of unfamiliar sites. Together, these unconventional  arctic narratives demonstrate that the definition of a harsh environment is relative, and  they offer alternative ways of thinking about individual and cultural survival.
Pushing back

description: “Pushing Back” analyzes women-led activism of transnational communities of color through an examination of social justice campaigns around domestic work, housing, and environmental policies and practices.  Through a case study of New York City from the 1980s to the present (2011), the dissertation argues that one key to progressive women’s successful organizing efforts is their ability to draw upon a range of political stances and to cross traditional identity-based boundaries.  This study addresses three central questions: Which issues do organizations representing transnational communities of color identify as key to their communities and how do they frame them? What forms of advocacy do they wield and what do such approaches look like in practice? and How do they negotiate internal diversity (gender, race/nationality, class, etc.) and engage the broader community, particularly as women-led groups?  The study focuses on two grassroots organizations, the pan-Asian/American CAAAV: Organizing Asian Communities and the South Bronx’s largely Puerto Rican and Black Mothers on the Move/Madres en Movimiento.  A complex picture of activism is produced through original archival research in previously unprocessed papers at each organization, oral history interviews, participant-observation, and the evaluation of relevant governmental and media sources.
The production and stabilization of pharmaceutical nanosuspensions
Creators: name: Romanski, Francis S.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: The production and stabilization of pharmaceutical nanosuspensions has been a recent focus of the pharmaceutical industry where it has been shown that nanosuspensions of poorly water-soluble drugs exhibit a greatly increased dissolution rate, and as a consequence, an increased in vivo bioavailability. Accordingly, the ability to manufacture stable pharmaceutical nanosuspensions in a fast, safe, and predictable manner would be highly advantageous. However, the small size is not without consequence; the prodigious amount of available surface area in combination with van der Waals forces quickly cause irreversible agglomeration, destroying the desired properties, and thus requiring the use of surfactants for any combination of steric, electrostatic, and kinetic stabilization. As a result, this work focused on two distinct methods for producing pharmaceutical nanosuspensions, as well as the important role that surfactants play in stabilization. In the first method, high pressure homogenization was used to mill suspensions by forcing them through a minute piston gap, where particles were subjected to a combination of shear, cavitation, and grinding. This technique was optimized for use by incorporating excipients for novel formulations in situ with the goal of producing capsules, films, and oral-suspensions. Alternatively, the shortcomings present in all accepted nano-sizing methodologies led to the development of the emulsion precipitation method. In this process, nanoparticles as small as 60 nm were produced by extracting drug nanoparticles from an O/W emulsion made from partially miscible components. It was found that formulations utilizing any one of five contrastive solvents could be used to create nanosuspensions based not on intrinsic drug properties, but rather on droplet size, solvent diffusion, and surfactant choice, rendering this technique arguably the most robust currently available.  Finally, the recurrent issue of stability was addressed through a series of molecular dynamics simulations and corresponding experiments to elucidate the molecular phenomena present at the surfaces of nano-scale crystals. Several case studies measured the interfacial binding energy between a surfactant and a crystal surface, where strong interactions were indicative of a longer shelf-life, quenched growth rates, and predictable crystal morphologies. It is hoped, that the culmination of this work will greatly advance our ability to produce, stabilize, and deliver poorly-soluble drugs.

description: While breast cancer mortality has been steadily decreasing since 1990, this decline has not been realized equally among all racial/ethnic groups in the U.S. For example, from 1995-2004, SEER data indicates a 2.4% yearly decrease in mortality for white and Hispanic/Latina women, but only a 1.6% yearly decrease for African Americans. Although rates are decreasing over time among both African Americans and whites, the rate among whites is decreasing faster, so the net effect has been a widening disparity in breast cancer mortality. While differences in stage at diagnosis are important in understanding these survival disparities, even when stage is controlled for, a persistent and growing survival disparity emerges. The reasons for this are not clear.

 Among other racial/ethnic groups even less is known about the factors affecting survival rates. Attempts to fill this knowledge gap are hindered because specific racial/ethnic subgroups are often aggregated to achieve sufficient numbers in studies, but this procedure may be obscuring important trends and factors specific to certain subgroups.

 The cohort and case-control studies overcome this problem by collecting detailed information on each individual through the use of a variety of survey instruments and often blood and/or fluid sampling. However, existing California cohort and case-control studies do not have sufficient numbers of different racial and ethnic populations to allow inter-group comparisons.

 Representatives of the Women’s CARE Study, In Situ Breast Cancer Study, and other studies are collaborating to determine whether it is feasible to pool data from our existing California case-control and cohort studies to investigate critical issue(s) in stage-specific survival that could not be answered by any of the studies alone. This feasibility study will review and evaluate:

 1. The comparability of survey instruments

 2. The compatibility of data sets (platforms, variables, etc.),

 3. The quality and type(s) of additional data that could be linked to data from study participants (e.g. records from medical databases).

 4. The specific research question(s) not answered by the individual studies that could be answered by pooling data from these studies.

 The proposed goal of this study is a full research proposal to investigate unique questions about disparities and breast cancer survival in California.

Countermeasures against vesicant-induced epithelial de-adhesion in the cornea
Creators: name: Rodrigues, Andrea DeSantis
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: Sulfur mustard is a chemical weapon and vesicant (blister-inducer) that causes severe effects to the cornea. These injuries are characteristically delayed in healing and may be recurrent over time. The experiments in this dissertation were designed to test the efficacy of countermeasures targeting metalloproteinases, thought to be over-activated in the cornea following vesicant exposure. An ex vivo culture model was developed using dissected corneas from young adult rabbit eyes. Each cornea was exposed drop wise to 20 nmol 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES, half mustard) or 100 nmol nitrogen mustard (NM). These are less potent and less toxic analogs of sulfur mustard, and induce mild or moderate injury, respectively.  Twenty-four hours after NM exposure there are observable separations between the epithelium and the stroma, termed microbullae. I hypothesize that the microbullae are caused by activation of the enzyme ADAM17 (a disintegrin and a metalloprotease 17), causing cleavage of the transmembranous anchoring protein, collagen XVII. Four ADAM17 inhibitors were compared to evaluate the effect of attenuating activity of this enzyme. The countermeasures effectively improved the appearance of the epithelial-stromal junction as seen by the preservation of epithelial-stromal attachments and improved histology as well as and decreasing ADAM17 activity.     After vesicant exposures there was also upregulation of MMP-9, the protease responsible for the necessary matrix degradation after wounding that leads to healing. The MMP-9 levels after vesicant exposure are enhanced abnormally. The MMP inhibitors, doxycycline and minocycline, were employed as effective countermeasures to inhibit the prolonged upregulation of MMP-9. To determine whether activation of ADAM17 and MMP-9 are due to ERK signaling, the inhibitor PD98059 was assessed. When used immediately after exposure, the compound was able to inhibit the ability of ERK to phosphorylate the cytoplasmic domain of ADAM17, thereby inhibiting collagen XVII cleavage. MMP-9 upregulation after 24 hrs was also inhibited as a downstream affecter of the ERK pathway when PD98059 was used. These experiments identify which countermeasures are the best candidates to test in vivo in rabbits exposed to sulfur mustard, and explore a mechanism of how mustards affect the extracellular matrix of the epithelial-stromal junction.

Epigenetic regulation and transcription factor programming enhances neurogenesis in neural stem cells
Creators: name: Ricupero, Christopher L.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: In this thesis, we questioned how neuronal and glial phenotypes become specialized. Epigenetic chromatin modifiers and transcription factors were investigated on their roles in programming and maintaining neural lineage restriction. A relatively homogeneous population of cells was generated by deriving immortalizing neural clones from embryonic rat forebrains. Three phenotypes; neuronal, glial and multipotential (GE6, GE2, CTX8), provided contrasting lineages to probe the factors responsible for shaping cell fate.  One particular clone, GE6, differentiated into a functional inhibitory like interneuron. Gene expression analysis showed several genes such as Ascl1, Dlx1, Dlx5, may be responsible for the interneuronal phenotype. Epigenetic regulation through histone modifications is believed to be an essential component within the developing nervous system, ultimately affecting cell fate. Testing chromatin signatures on specific neural genes with permissive and repressive histone “marks” shows that chromatin state in undifferentiated precursors correlates with current and predicts downstream gene expression. These results suggest that cell fate may already be predetermined. Furthermore, ChIP sequencing reveals global differences between the representative clones. Extrinsic growth factors, such as BMP2 promotes the neuronal and glial phenotypes in the multipotential cell CTX8. BMP2 asserts its phenotypic response in part by regulating global acetylation enrichment in specific neural gene networks, providing a mechanism to promote and maintain cell fate. Directly altering chromatin marks using a histone deacetylase inhibitor, valproic acid (VPA), globally acetylates the chromatin of CTX8 cells and enhances neurogenesis. VPA treatment was found to also maintain or increase acetylation in specific neuronal genes, such as Ascl1. In addition, several microRNAs thought to play a role in neurogenesis were also epigenetically regulated after VPA treatment. Finally, through the combination of gene expression and epigenetic analyses, direct programming through exogenous expression of Ascl1, Dlx1 and Dlx5 enhanced neurogenesis in CTX8. Gene expression and epigenetic signature mapping provides us with a deeper understanding of how lineage restriction occurs. Learning the programming rules will assist in directing homogeneous populations of neuronal cells to further probe the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases.
Hollywood's invisible men

description: Hollywood’s Invisible Men: Mobilizing the Black Soldier in American Cinema provides a genealogy of the black nationalist icon made famous by Blaxploitation heroesSweet Sweetback and Shaft, locating its origins in the new, dignified image of the black soldier that appeared in WWII Hollywood films as part of the Roosevelt Government mandate to increase black enlistment. Focusing on a figure that has been essential inliterary and historical studies of African America, but to date absent from film scholarship, I trace the transformation of this filmic figure in a variety of incarnations and socio-political contexts, ranging from wartime propaganda, to postwar dramas, toVietnam Era “guerrilla” productions. In these films, the evolving depictions of the black solider narrate the ideological labor performed by the black body in America between WWII and the end of the Vietnam War: pacifying racial conflict in the US; creating benevolent images of America’s imperialism abroad; and articulating black America’s revolutionary nationalism and diasporic imagination. The malleability and potence of this figure also enabled the cinema to provide a public sphere for national debates about (but not limited to) blacks in the military, racial integration, and black nationalist militancy that ultimately led to the radical changes of the late Civil Rights Movement. I label this forum a “reconstructed public sphere” because this new, cinematic black public was in fact a visual incarnation and transformation of what Michael Warner has called a counterpublic—one in whichwartime and post-war viewers learned new modes of spectatorship and collaborated on a visual reconstruction of black collective history and political identity. One of the few studies of the interrelationship of Hollywood and non-industry black filmmakers during the Civil Rights Movement, Hollywood’s Invisible Men also revises the record of black artistry and representation in shaping a postwar nationalcinema in the U.S., in part by making use of archival research on “lost” films. This dissertation thus not only explores the reconstructive capacities of the figure of the black soldier, it also literally reconstructs black cinema’s history and presence in the representational struggles of the Civil Rights Movement.

description: The goal of our research is to better understand the role of estrogens and of the enzyme aromatase in breast cancer. There is a good deal of evidence that women with high concentrations of estrogens in the blood are at an increased risk of developing breast cancer. The female body produces estrogens at different sites; before menopause, most of the estrogen production takes place in the ovary, while after menopause, the majority of estrogens are formed in adipose (fatty) tissue. A single enzyme (enzymes are proteins that act to increase the rate at which various chemical reactions within the body take place) aromatase, is responsible for the production of estrogen in postmenopausal women. It is currently not known if individuals are different in how efficiently the enzyme aromatase works to make estrogen. If there are such differences, we would expect persons whose aromatase works more efficiently to have higher estrogen levels, and to therefore have a higher breast cancer risk. It is possible that differences in aromatase activity could be due to different forms of the gene (called polymorphisms) that produce this enzyme.

 It has not been systematically investigated whether such genetic differences frequently exist. So far, we only know about the existence of two polymorphisms, but it is currently unknown how they effect aromatase activity. We propose a pilot study to determine whether aromatase activity differs between individuals and whether such differences are related to breast cancer risk. If we actually find that aromatase activity differs between people, there would be many important consequences of such a result. First, we would need to identify the exact genetic changes that control aromatase activity. Within our own study population, we can investigate whether aromatase activity affects breast cancer risk more strongly in a certain subgroup of women, for example in women who take the pill, or in women who eat a high-fat diet. Second, it would be important to study whether differences in aromatase activity exists between racial groups, and whether these differences are in part responsible for the racial differences in breast cancer risk. Third, medications exist that stop aromatase function. They are currently used for treating existing breast cancer. If we find that a high aromatase activity increases the risk of breast cancer, the question arises whether these medications, called aromatase inhibitors, could be given to women at high risk before they actually develop breast cancer.
Processes underlying dysfunctional interpersonal behavior and the prediction of drinking outcomes
Creators: name: Reel, Dorian Hunter
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: The present study tested a theoretically-derived model of several proposed underlying processes of dysfunctional interpersonal behavior (impulsivity, compulsivity, emotion dysregulation and rejection sensitivity) and the relationships among dysfunctional interpersonal behavior, low social support and problem alcohol use. Support was found for three of the proposed underlying processes of dysfunctional interpersonal behavior- emotion dysregulation, rejection sensitivity and compulsivity were found to statistically predict dysfunctional interpersonal behavior in the expected direction. However, impulsivity was found to be associated with dysfunctional interpersonal behavior in the direction opposite to that that which was hypothesized. Support was also found for the hypothesized relationship between dysfunctional interpersonal behavior and low social support, though social support was associated with problem drinking in the direction opposite to that which was hypothesized. Limitations of this study included the restricted nature of the sample (all college students), the atypical racial composition of the sample, and the cross-sectional design of the study. Future studies should examine the proposed model in a clinical sample of individuals with Alcohol Use Disorders. Such studies should also utilize longitudinal designs and incorporate multiple measures of constructs.
