Quercetin

description: Quercetin is a flavonoid found in apples, berries, and onions. Epidemiological studies have found an inverse relationship between quercetin intake and risk of  cardiovascular disease and stroke. Quercetin supplementation has been found to reduce severity of hypertension (HTN), improve endothelial and vascular smooth muscle function, and decrease angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity in vivo and in vitro  in animal models. Recently, quercetin's ability to protect against cardiovascular disease in humans has been studied. Evidence suggests that quercetin reduces blood pressure (BP) in hypertensive humans; however, the mechanisms for this phenomenon remain unclear. Furthermore, previous studies have used quercetin supplementation over a period >28 days and it is unclear if quercetin reduces BP acutely or if long-term supplementation is required. The purpose of my research was to determine the effects of a single 1095 mg quercetin aglycone supplement on BP, heart rate (HR), and ACE activity, in normotensive (n = 5) and hypertensive (n = 12) men. Markers of endothelial function (flow mediated dilation (FMD) and concentrations of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and nitric  oxide (NO) metabolites) were also measured in the hypertensive participants. A secondary purpose was to determine bioavailability and the metabolism rate of a single 1095 mg dose of quercetin. This was the first study to examine the effects of a single quercetin dose on cardiovascular and endothelial function in hypertensive individuals. We found10 hours post ingestion of quercetin SBP, DBP, and MAP (mm Hg)

description: To examine reported prognostic associations of routine blood measurements in the intensive care unit. We searched PubMed, EMBASE through 28th May 2020 to identify all studies in adult critical care investigating associations between parameters measured routinely in whole blood, plasma or serum, and length of stay or mortality. Registration: PROSPERO; CRD42019122058. A total of 128 studies, reporting 28 different putative prognostic biomarkers, met eligibility criteria. Those most frequently examined were red cell distribution width, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, C-reactive protein, and platelet count. A higher red cell distribution width, a lower platelet count, and a higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio were consistently associated with both increased mortality and length of stay. A lower level of albumin was consistently associated with greater mortality. C-reactive protein was inconsistent. Most studies (n = 110) used regression modelling with wide variation in variable selection and covariate-adjustment; none externally validated the proposed predictive models. Simple regression models have so far proved inadequate for the complexity of data available from routine blood sampling in critical care. Adoption of a direct causal framework may help better assess mechanistic processes, aid design of future studies, and guide clinical decision making using routine data.
The Zionist cleansing of Palestine

Zionism

description: This thesis addresses the question of the ethnic cleansing of Palestine by examining Zionism as a settler-colonial national movement, and it demonstrates that the realization of Zionism in both its Labor and Revisionist interpretations has inevitably led to continuous policies of ethnic cleansing in Palestine. The thesis begins by defining "ethnic cleansing" and analyzing various cases of population cleansing to determine whether they fit this definition. It then traces the development of Zionism and its national content, and discusses the state of Palestine before the rise of Zionism. To provide the necessary framework for understanding Zionism as a settler-colonial nationalism that embraced ethnic cleansing to achieve and sustain its national content, the thesis discusses the events of 1947-49, the developments in the wake of the 1967 war, and the 2002 and 2008-09 Israeli military campaigns in the West Bank and Gaza. Under the leadership of Labor Zionists, the Jewish community in Palestine launched a campaign of ethnic Labor Zionists, the Jewish community in Palestine launched a campaign of ethnic cleansing in 1947-49 in order to secure a Jewish state with a Jewish majority. The consequences of the 1967 war and the Revisionists' rise to power in 1977 began a new chapter of ethnic cleansing through land confiscations, illegal settlements, and violent military campaigns against the Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza. More than sixty years after the nakba, Palestinians continue to be forcefully removed from their homes, a consequence of Labor Zionism dominating the Zionist project before 1977, and the powerful influence of the Revisionists ever since.

SirD

description: The aromatic prenyltransferase SirD in Leptosphaeria maculans shares sequence homology with fungal indole prenyltransferases and is hypothesized to catalyze the normal O-prenylation of tyrosine in the first committed step in the biosynthesis of the phytotoxin sirodesmin PL. We cloned, expressed, and biochemically characterized SirD and discovered that it was a dimethylallyltyrosine synthase. We synthesized tyrosine and tryptophan derivatives and tested SirD for aromatic substrate promiscuity. NMR studies revealed that SirD catalyzes normal O-, N-, and £-prenylations on tyrosine derivatives and N- and C-prenylations on tryptophan derivatives with normal prenylation at C6 and C7 and reverse prenylation at N1 and C7 of the indole ring, depending on the substituent. The aromatic prenyltransferase dimethylallyltryptophan synthase in Claviceps purpurea catalyzes the normal prenylation of tryptophan at C4 of the indole nucleus in the first committed step of ergot alkaloid biosynthesis. 4-Methyltryptophan is a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme that has been used in kinetic studies. We found that 4-methyltryptophan is an alternate substrate, which gave four products. Similarly, 4- methoxytryptophan and 4-aminotryptophan are alternate substrates. NMR studies revealed that dimethylallyltryptophan synthase catalyzed normal prenylation at N1, C3, C5, and C7 and reverse prenylation at C3 of the indole ring, depending on the substituent. Synthesized aromatic amino acid analogues were also tested with dimethylallyltryptophan synthase. The ability of dimethylallyltyrosine synthase and dimethylallyltryptophan synthase to prenylate six different sites on the indole nucleus, with normal and reverse prenylation at two of the sites, is consistent with a dissociative electrophilic alkylation of the indole ring where orientation of the substrates within the active site and substituent electronic effects determine the position and type of prenylation.
The contribution of verbalization to motor performance

description: Previous studies have shown that verbalization, in the form of self-guided instruction, is an effective cognitive strategy used to enhance motor skill acquisition and  motor performance. However, past research has not explicitly examined which aspects of motor output are affected (whether beneficially or deleteriously) by verbalization. In the current study, we conducted two separate experiments in which a total of 80 healthy  participants, ages 18-27, completed a novel motor sequence learning task. Half of the participants in each Experiment were pretrained in the sequence using verbalization, while the other half was either trained motorically, or not trained at all. Rote memorization of verbal labels facilitated motor learning, motor control, performance speed, and set maintenance, but not motor planning. Potential underlying mechanisms as well as clinical implications are discussed.

Variations in home learning and home social environments and children's school readiness among married, cohabiting, and single families
Creators: name: Peterson, Mieko Fuse
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2014

description: The current study used the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development (NICHD-SECCYD) to examine the associations among marital status, home learning and home social environments, and preschool children's pre-academic and social skills at 36 and 54 months. Additionally, the current study investigated whether the existence of family monetary (income) and psychological (maternal depressive symptoms, social support, and parenting stress) resources could explain variability in home learning and social environments. Regression analyses showed that children of single families had lower pre-academic skills at 36 and 54 months. Both home learning and home social environments significantly predicted children's pre-academic and social skills at 36 months, but only the home learning environment predicted school readiness at 54 months. Sobel tests revealed that the home learning environment, which was significantly lower among single families, worked as a mediator to explain the relationship between single status and pre-academic skills at 36 and 54 months. Finally, parenting stress, which was significantly higher among single families, worked as a mediator to explain the relationship between single status and the home learning environment. The importance of targeting the home learning environment and parenting stress in early intervention has been discussed.

description: An ongoing concern has been the low percentage of nurses who are members of their state nurses' organization. The goal of this study was to ascertain the factors that encourage or hinder the behavior of joining the Utah Nurses' Association (UNA). A descriptive survey was used in which a questionnaire was mailed to 504 association members and 1,199 nonmembers. A response rate of 32.4% was achieved. The 'PRECEDE' (Predisposing, Reinforcing, and Enabling Causes in Educational Diagnosis and Evaluation) model was used to identify and categorize the reasons nurses join or do not join UNA. A belief that membership is beneficial and knowledge of the association and its goals and benefits (predisposing factors) were demonstrated to have a strong relationship to joining behavior. Availability of resources of time and money (enabling factors) were also found to have a strong influence on the decision to join or not join the UNA. Support of the behavior by others (reinforcing factors) were only moderately related to membership.

description: Chronic pain is a public health concern affecting 20–30% of the population of Western countries. Focus groups of people with persistent pain indicated that their overall physical function had deteriorated because of pain, therefore assessment of function should be an integral part of pain assessment. The objective of this study was to establish a consensus on assessment of function in chronic pain primary care patients and to evaluate the use of scales and clinical guidelines in clinical practice. A Delphi study (CL4VE study) was carried out. A group of primary care physicians, were asked to rate how strongly they agreed/disagreed with the statements in: general functioning data, and functioning outcomes in chronic pain patients. Seventy-one primary care physicians were invited to participate. Of these, 69 completed Round 1 (98.5% response rate), and 68 completed Round 2 (97.1%). Under the predefined criterion, a high degree of agreement (91.4%) was observed, this was confirmed in 32 of 35 questions in the second round. Discrepancies were noted, firstly, because functioning was only linked to joint recovery; secondly, in the use of specific scales and questionnaires to measure functioning, and thirdly, that no scale of functioning is used in clinical practice due to complexity and lack of time for assessment. Physicians agreed on the need for a precise definition of the concept of patient functional impediment to facilitate homogeneous recognition, and for the development of simple and practical scales focused on patients with chronic pain and their needs.

Cancer in Children

description: Disturbed sleep-wake patterns are prevalent in up to 40% of children with cancer;  however, sources of sleep-wake pattern disturbances are not well understood. Light and  noise disrupt sleep-wake patterns in intensive care settings. Cancer-related symptoms,  including fatigue, may impair sleep. Individual temperament characteristics influence  symptoms in acutely and chronically ill children. Polymorphisms in the dopamine D4  receptor gene and regulatory region of the serotonin transporter promoter gene are  associated with behavioral variation and may influence the child's response to  physiologic and environmental stimuli. The purpose of this multiple-case study was to  examine sleep-wake patterns and the influences of environmental and biobehavioral  factors on sleep-wake patterns among children with cancer. The UCSF Symptom  Management Model was the conceptual framework. Participants were 15 school-age  children with cancer receiving inpatient chemotherapy. Data were collected during an  admission lasting 3 days or longer. Wrist actigraphs and sleep diaries measured sleep. A  data logger and sound pressure level meter measured environmental variables. Fatigue  was measured using Fatigue Scale: Child and Parent Versions. Temperament was  measured using Carey Temperament Scales. Polymerase chain reaction was used to  genotype polymorphisms. Data analysis included statistical and visual graphical analyses.  Children with cancer slept less and had more fragmented sleep compared with age-related  norms. A basic mixed linear model identified a significant main effect for epoch (F = 56.27, g < .01) on sleep minutes within a night shift. Main effects for sound (F = 50.87, p  < .01) and light (F = 7.04, p < .01) on sleep minutes were present. A backwards multiple  regression model contained five variables (sound, light, number of medications, pain, and  nausea) Accounting;; for 57.4% of the variance in sleep minutes within each 2-hour epoch  of a 12-hour night shift (F = 62.85, p < .01). Children with less predictable biologic  cycles slept longer and had fewer awakenings. Children homozygous for short serotonin  polymorphisms, associated with increased anxiety, had poorer sleep efficiency. Clinicians  should seek opportunities to minimize nighttime disruptions. Research is warranted to  develop and test interventions to promote sleep in the hospital and investigate the role of  intraindividual factors on children's cancer-related symptoms.

Subjects: Aged
Demographic Data

description: The purpose of this study was to describe the intensity of feelings reported by bereaved elderly individuals along with their reports of perceived ability to cope.  In addition, it was designed to show the extent of agreement between the self-report of the bereaved and the interviewer's clinical assessment of how well the bereaved individual was managing the loss of a spouse.  Data collection was done by interview and structured questionnaire, three to five weeks after death of a spouse (N=128).  Most of the earlier research dealt with younger populations and cannot be generalized to an aging population. Different responses to widowhood between mail and female have been alluded to in the literature, but many investigators considered only one gender.  The present investigation considered both males and females.  Demographic data alone did not prove to be an adequate predictor of ability to cope in the initial phase of bereavement.  Results of this study showed a trend indicating the older the individual, the lower the intensity of feelings and increased ability to cope.  Limitations are discussed regarding the interpretation of these findings.  Implications for Nursing; and further research are suggested.

Full-arm haptic rendering with the sarcos dextrous master
Creators: name: Frey, Matthew S
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Virtual reality
Human-computer interaction

description: This thesis introduces the need for full-arm haptic rendering and reports potential benefits related to the evaluation of static models in confined, or workspace limiting, virtual environments. There are many examples where haptic rendering  has been used to add the sense of touch to virtual models; however, the majority of previous research has focused on tool or hand interactions. In this research, the SARCOS DTS Master makes haptic interactions possible across the entire human arm. Users are able to naturally assess workspace and force limitations imposed by  the human arm when evaluating confined virtual environments.  Simple polygonal models are used to represent the virtual environment and virtual arm. Fast collision detection is implemented using spacialized normal cone hierarchies and local descent algorithms, and an admittance control scheme is used to control the torques of the DTS Master's powerful hydraulic actuators.  To test the benefits of full-arm haptic rendering, experiment participants are subject to five virtual environments, once with hand-only haptic rendering and once with full-arm haptic rendering. The objective benefits are measured in terms  of task completion time, maximum force application, and assessment accuracy. Participants  are also asked to answer subjective questions about the ease of completing the task with and without full-arm haptic rendering.  Results of the experiments show that in most confined environments completion  times are reduced, applied forces at the target increase, and participants are more  likely to find a path to the target with full-arm haptic rendering. Subjectively, participants prefer full-arm haptic rendering as it reduces their dependency on visual cues while reaching for and applying a sustained force to target.

description: Cytokine expression by murine bone marrow-derived mast cells in response to interleukin-3 (IL-3) treatment and CD28 ligation was investigated. Cytokine uptake and cell-to-cell interactions via cell surface molecule ligations are two factors that may play an important role in how the microenvironment can affect the function and development of resident cells. IL-3, a mast cell growth factor, was observed to affect the cytokine profile of mast cells, and CD28, when crosslinked at the surface of mast cells along with a costimulus, was also observed to affect the cytokine profile of mast cells. Transcript analysis via Reverse Transcriptase-Rapid Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-RPCR) demonstrated that IL-3 treatment of Stem Cell Factor (SCF)-derived bone marrow mast cells causes an increase in the level of IL-13 transcripts within 30 min and IL-10 transcripts within 1.5 hr. FACscan analysis using intracellular staining indicated that IL-3 derived bone marrow mast cells constitutively express IL-10. FACscan analysis also revealed that SCF-derived bone marrow cells express IL-10 4 days after IL-3 treatment. FACscan analysis also demonstrated that CD28 is expressed constitutively at low levels by IL-3-derived bone marrow mast cells and also expressed at higher levels by SCF-derived bone marrow mast cells at the cell surface after treatment with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) or either of the bacterial products, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or the Borrelia burgdorferi-derived outer surface lipoprotein, OspA. Transcript analysis via RT-RPCR determined that crosslinking of CD28 alone at the surface of the IL-3-derived bone marrow mast cells led to an increased level of c-jun transcripts but not c-fos transcripts. Transcript analysis via RT-RPCR also revealed that, with SCF-derived bone marrow mast cells, crosslinking of CD28 simultaneously with treatment of PMA led to increased levels of IL-13 transcripts. These results indicate that mast cells are capable of expressing CD28 and that some portions of the mast cell CD28 signaling pathway are similar to the T cell CD28 signaling pathway. Together, these results demonstrate that mast cells are capable of changing their cytokine profile in response to at least two stimuli within their microenvironment, cytokine uptake (IL-3) and cell surface molecule ligation (CD28).

description: During the last thirty years research about dance and dancing bodies had provided a fertile ground for discussion and investigation. Significant presentations have been made about the subject, innumerable articles have been written and a multitude of books have been published that address the dancing body as viewed from the perspectives of identity, race, power, politics, social status, gender, sexuality, and so on. One relatively  unaddressed area in this ever-expanding discussion are perceptions, attitudes and biases that are held about dancing pregnant bodies, particularly the implications of these bodies in the studio and on stage. As a unique, altered body, the dancing body has been silent in  the wings, marginalized, perhaps even ‘put away'. Until it is aesthetically/physically regarded as being ready to be brought into sight it will remain an elusive and enigmatic  moving form.
Induction and Targeting of the Heat Shock Response in Prostate Cancer
Creators: name: Larson, Nathan Kade
Publisher: name: University of Utah

description: Specific delivery of chemotherapeutic agents to cancerous tissues can potentially result in increased safety and decreased toxicity. For example, nanomedicines, including polymer-drug conjugates, can potentially accumulate in solid tumors via the "enhanced permeability and retention" (EPR) effect. Further increases in delivery can be achieved via active targeting strategies, wherein cancer-specific targeting moieties enhance cellular binding and internalization. This dissertation describes a strategy which attempts to increase the tumor accumulation and efficiency of active targeting using a combination of tumor hyperthermia and heat shock protein (HSP) targeted N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide (HPMA) copolymer-drug conjugates. Following exposure to hyperthermia, increases in cellular stress results in initiation of the heat shock response, which includes the synthesis and migration of certain heat shock proteins to the cell surface. It is hypothesized that the induced expression of these HSPs can serve as specific molecular targets for the delivery of anticancer macromolecular chemotherapeutics. HPMA copolymer-drug conjugates bearing peptides targeting cell surface expressed glucose regulated protein 78 kDa (GRP78), a member of the HSP70 family of proteins, were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for activity in prostate cancer models. Following exposure to hyperthermia, the cell surface expression of GRP78 was also evaluated and correlated to increases in cellular delivery and cytotoxicity of GRP78 targeted HPMA copolymeriv drug conjugates. Combination index analyses indicated that a combination of hyperthermia and HSP targeted drug therapy resulted in combined synergistic effects. In vivo, gold nanorod-mediated plasmonic photothermal therapy was utilized to induce tumor hyperthermia in a human prostate cancer animal model to enhance the delivery and efficacy of GRP78 targeted HPMA copolymer-drug conjugates. Results demonstrate that a combination of tumor hyperthermia and HSP targeting can increase tumor accumulation and cellular delivery of macromolecular chemotherapeutics, enabling safer and more effective therapies.
The influence of environmental and body-based action constraints on distance judgments

description: To determine action capabilities, an actor must take into account environmental features and the actor's individual body and capabilities. Previous research has shown that changing an actor's ability to reach by changing the body influences judgments of distance to reachable objects. The current studies tested whether both environmental and body constraints that limit reaching would influence judged distances to reachable objects. In Experiment 1, participants estimated distances to a small object when it was both in front of and behind a clear, reach-limiting Plexiglas barrier. Participants estimated their ability to reach the object (yes or no response), and then visually matched the distance from the edge of the table to the object with a tape measure. Participants judged the distance to the object as farther when the object was behind the barrier than when it was in front of the barrier; the barrier also reduced estimates of reach ability. In Experiment 2 participants estimated distances in front of and behind a barrier while their dominant or non-dominant hand was weighted, a body constraint on action. Distances within reachable space were judged to be significantly farther than the other conditions when the target was behind the barrier and the dominant (reaching) hand was weighted. This study suggests that action-relevant environmental constraints do influence judgment of distances and interact with body-based constraints.

Spatial and temporal variation in mercury methylation in sediment and water of Farmington Bay of the Great Salt Lake, Utah

description: The bioavailable form of mercury, methyl mercury (MHg), has been shown by previous studies to be relatively high in the main body of the Great Salt Lake (GSL). A consumption advisory for several species of waterfowl from the GSL and surrounding wetlands was recently released due to findings of toxic mercury levels in those species. The GSL is a system of vertically and spatially connected "compartments," including shallow and deep brine layers in the main bays, as well as bays on the eastern side where fresh water is delivered from corresponding rivers. It is presently unknown which compartments and locations are predominant in transforming mercury to methyl mercury. One method used to investigate Hg methylation in sediment and water is to spike the sample with inorganic mercury enriched in a minor isotope and observe the evolution of methyl mercury concentrations in response, which was implemented in this study. Sediment and water samples were collected from sites along two east-west trending transects at the north and south ends of Farmington Bay in summer and fall. Water temperature, pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, sulfide and sulfate concentrations, and ambient total Hg and MHg concentrations were measured at each site. Total solids content and organic matter were evaluated for the sediment. Subsamples of the sediment and water from each site were spiked with 204Hg2+ and were incubated for 12, 24, 48, and 72 hours.
Determining energy requirement for future water supply and demand alternatives

Water energy nexus

description: Water and energy are two inextricably linked resources. Each has the potential to limit the development of the other. There is a substantial body of research dedicated to understanding how the availability of water can limit energy production, but the alternate relationship - that of energy limiting water production - has received much less scrutiny. The demand for both resources is predicted to increase in tandem with population growth, potentially creating or adding to conflict in regions of water or energy scarcity.  To greater understand the "water/energy nexus," - a commonly used term to describe their interdependence - each phase of water supply and consumption can be broken into discrete segments that have an associated energy requirement, called an energy factor. An energy factor is the amount of energy used to develop, convey and treat a given volume of water. This study presents a methodology for calculating the energy factors of each phase of the water supply cycle that is "outside the retail meter." A case study of a large water system in an arid region of the United States is used as an example system for applying these methods. Using the case study system as a framework, an energy demand model is developed that estimates baseline energy usage for heterogeneous water systems, and then models changes in energy requirement under three alternate water supply and demand scenarios. The results of the model scenarios reveal that water demand reductions, as can be brought about by targeted water efficiency programs, can have extended energy-saving impacts - affecting all other phases of the water supply cycle. A demand reduction of 25% for the case study water system resulted in a cumulative annual energy savings of 8.9 million kilowatt hours (kWh) - a decrease of 28% from its current level of energy consumption. Modeling the conversion of agricultural or currently untreated water to municipal uses within the case study resulted in an increase in energy requirement by 6.3 million kWh - a 20% increase. Reductions in the availability of imported surface water supply, such as those brought about by prolonged drought, climate change or reservoir sedimentation, can increase energy demand as well. An additional 5.7 million kWh are needed to ameliorate the effects of a 35% reduction in surface water supply for the case study water system - an 18% increase from its current energy requirement. The process and findings of this study reveal a lack of emphasis among water agencies concerning energy consumption, and indicate that changes in supply and use patterns have dramatic effects on energy usage.

description: To assess the diagnostic value of Trefoil factor 3 (TFF3) and the correlation between TFF3 expression and clinicopathological features in patients with gastric cancer (GC). PubMed, The Cochrane, EMbase, and Web of Science were retrieved comprehensively to collect relevant literature. The search ended on 31 May 2020. All data were analyzed using PubMed, The Cochrane, EMbase, and Web of Science were retrieved to collect relevant articles. All data from the included studies were subjected to meta-analysis using Stata 12.0 software. Seventeen studies involved 4654 subjects were included. For the diagnostic value of TFF3 for GC, the sensitivity, specificity, and AUC were 0.71, 0.80, and 0.80, respectively. For the clinicopathological value of TFF3, tissue TFF3 expression showed a higher risk of lymph node metastasis (OR 2.20, 95% CI 1.75–2.78, p < 0.001) and muscularis propria invasion (≥T2) (1.51, 1.13–2.03, p = 0.006), as well as worse TNM stage (2.26, 1.63–3.12, p < 0.001) and histological type (1.72, 1.34–2.20, p < 0.001), while no apparent relationship was found for serous membrane invasion (T4), venous invasion, and peritoneal metastasis. TFF3 may be a promising biomarker for GC, and the TFF3 expression is likely to be involved in the invasion, metastasis, and differentiation of GC.
