The Periodontal syndrome in the rice rat (Oryzomys palustris):the natural progress of disease and the effects of dichloromethylene diphosphonate on disease progress.
Creators: name: Gotcher, Jack Everett
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Anatomy and Physiology

description: Several morphometric and cellular parameters were studied in the rice rat (Oryzomys palustris).  When fed a soft, high carbohydrate diet, a severe periodontal disease occurred, with significant alterations in the morphometric and cellular endpoints observed.  Weaned animals were placed on a high carbohydrate diet for periods of, 12 or 18 weeks.  There was a linear, rapid loss of bone by 18 weeks, approaching a 75% loss of original bone.  Vascular spaces decreased as the remaining connective tissue became fibrotic in character.  The percentage of the inter-dental test site which was destroyed by periodontal disease increased dramatically over the time of the experiment.  The numbers of fibroblasts per mm of bone surface increased slightly at the 18 week period; osteoblasts were unchanged at any period.  The numbers of osteoclast nuclei rose dramatically by 12 weeks, and these cell nuclei remained at increased levels at 18 weeks.  Also, the numbers of inflammatory cells residing at the bone surface increased greatly by 18 weeks time.  Finally, the number of 3H-TdR labeled periodontal ligament (PDL) fibroblasts increased significantly at both 12 and 18 weeks time. These cellular changes and their relation to the bone lose due to periodontal disease are discussed.  The effects of a diphosphonate, dichloromethylene diphosphonate (C1[2]MDP) were also studied, using the rice rate as a model of periodontal bone loss.  C1[2]MDP was given in daily subcutaneous injections at dosages of 0 (control), 0.1, 1.0, or 10.0 mg/kg/day; these treatments were continued for periods of 6, 12, or 18 weeks.  The amount of alveolar bone was increased over age matched controls at the 1.0 and 10.0 mg/kg/day doses at 6 weeks; at 12 and 18 weeks, all doses showed increases in bone over control.  Due to increase connective tissue fibrosis, the C1[2]MDP treated animals had fewer vascular spaces.  Also, the amount of destroyed tissue in the inter-dental test site was increased in animals given 10.0 mg/kg/day of C1[2]MDP.  The number of fibroblasts per mm of bone surface decreases slightly at 6 weeks, but was otherwise not different from controls, in treated animals at 12 and 18 weeks.  Numbers of osteoblasts decreased greatly at all doses, at both 12 and 18 weeks time.  There were no significant differences between treated and control animals of osteoclast nuclei per mm bone surface.  Also, the numbers of inflammatory cells residing at the bone surface increased at all time periods in the 10.0 mg/kg/day dose group.  Finally, the proliferative activity of PDL fibroblasts decreased dramatically at all time periods in the 10.0 mg/kg/day dose group.  The response of the proximal tibia to C1[2]MDP was compared to the alveolar bone response in these animals.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage among Navajo women and to examine the hematocrit as an indicator of postpartum blood loss in this population.  Twenty-one Navajo women who delivered babies at the Shiprock Indian Health Service Hospital in Shiprock, New Mexico were studied.  Sixty-one percent of the study sample had a blood loss of over 500 ml, a twelve-fold greater incidence than reported in other non-Indian populations.  Change in hematocrit from admission to thirty-six hours postpartum showed that the hematocrit was a good indicator of postpartum blood loss.  The estimate of blood loss by health care providers, compared with weighed and calculated blood loss, was significantly lower than the actual blood loss.  Forty-eight percent of the women studied had various obstetrical problems identified during the current pregnancy.

description: There has been a dramatic increase in the number of managed care companies who offer prescription drug benefits to people in the United States in recent years.  These companies often either mandate or encourage their members to accept generic medication when it is available.  Although consumer opinions of generic drugs wee studied by several groups right after the 1989 Food and Drug Administration scandal, little information is available to understand current consumer attitudes.  For this study, a questionnaire was mailed to 889 members of a national Preferred Provider Organization with prescription drug coverage.  The information requested on the survey included demographics, general opinions of generic medications, opinions of the role pharmacists play in giving information and recommendations on generics, what financial incentives would be necessary for people to choose a generic medication, and consumer awareness of the generic drug scandal of 1989.  The usable response rate was 31% (275/889).  Of the 275 respondents, 120 (43%) believed that generic medications were as effective as the brand name medications and 87 (32%) were neutral.  Seventy-two percent of respondents considered their pharmacist a valuable source of information about generics.  One hundred thirty respondents (53%) would need to save five dollars or more to choose a generic medication over a brand name.  When asked if they were aware of any publicity surrounding the generic drug industry in recent years, 132 respondents (48%) indicated that they were aware.  Of these respondents, however, 76 people (58%) were either neutral or disagreed that the publicity they heard decreased their faith in generic medication.  In reviewing the results it appears that many consumers had forgotten the publicity about the generic drug scandal between the time it occurred in 1989 and the time they completed the survey in 1991 or they were never aware of the scandal.  Apparently people have a significant trust in their pharmacist and are influenced by what their pharmacist says regarding generic medication.  Managed care companies who want their members to select generic medication need to structure their prescription drug co-payments so that members save a minimum of five dollars when a generic is available.  Overall, consumers appear trusting of both generic medication and their pharmacist's opinion regarding drug product selection.

description: From the methanolic extract of the rhizomes of Boesenbergia pandurata, a new flavanone derivative named (2R,7″S)-8-(1-phenyl-2-carboxyethyl)pinocembrin (1) and four known flavonoids (2–5) were isolated. Its absolute configuration was concluded by NMR and MS spectroscopic analysis, together with comparison between experimental and calculated ECD data. In turn, compound 1 exhibited strong cytotoxicity against the PANC-1 human pancreatic cancer cell line with a PC50 value of 6.4 µM under nutrient-deprived conditions, comparable with that of arctigenin (PC50, 0.83 µM).

description: Zoonotic pathogens are infections in wildlife that are transmittable to humans. In natural settings, most wild animals host multiple species of parasitic organisms and other zoonotic pathogens. These parasites may interact and increase host susceptibility to secondary infections including zoonotic agents. Thus, understanding the parasite community of wild animals is important from ecological and public health perspectives, since parasites may increasing the risk of transmission of zoonotic pathogens to humans in close association with wildlife. The purpose of this thesis was to identify the helminth parasites and to document patterns of coinfections between helminths and Sin Nombre virus (SNV) in deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) from two distinct ecoregions in Utah. I utilized a long-term database collected over seven years (2003-2009) along with necropsy of freezer-archived deer mice to identify patterns of coinfection between helminths and SNV. In year 2006, I found that SNV prevalence negatively correlated with helminth infection. This result suggests that one infection provides protection against the other. I sought to further elaborate on this study by live-sampling deer mice in a peridomestic habitat in Emigration Canyon, Utah from June 2010 through August 2010. I found similarities between the helminth communities in this study, but I found an additional species Trichuris peromysci. Due to low SNV prevalence, I did not observe SNV / helminth coinfections. Finally, I designed a method to study tradeoffs between mounting a humoral antibody response to SNV antigen and bacterial killing capacity of serum in deer mice. I injected treatment mice with SNV nucleocapsid antigen while control mice received vehicle injection. Both the treatment and control mice significantly increased bacterial killing post injection; there were no significant differences between groups post injection. This suggests there is no tradeoff between mounting a humoral antibody response and the ability to kill bacteria. In summary, this was the first study to consider the role of parasite coinfections on the emerging viral pathogen, Sin Nombre virus. Since parasites can increase susceptibility to secondary infections, it is important for researches to investigate coinfections instead of focusing on a single parasite species.

Energetic essence
American literature

description: The primary texts for this essay are My Antonia and O Pioneers!. Using My Antonia I establish the existence of an energetic essence that quickens the land and various characters of these novels. The influence of this wild energy is manifest mainly through color and movement. I focus specifically on Antonia and Blind d'Arnault who instinctively connect with this energy and react to it in a way that brings them feelings of happiness and wholeness. Using O Pioneers! I further define the term "energy" by examining it as a natural force that activates and inspires art. Focusing mainly on Alexandra Bergson, I discuss in detail the balanced artistic relationship some characters establish with the energy as they temper its spontaneity with control and unite instinct with will. Their efforts result in vitalized art that expands the energy and reveals its renewing and life-sustaining capabilities. All the objects and individuals who share in the embodiment of this energy are part of its interminable influence. As a foundation for theme and character, this force of energy is an integral part of Cather's celebrated works.

description: Commercially certified organic propolis produced in areas of environmental conservation and reforestation forests of Southern Brazil are generally poor in flavonoids, although one of its variants – Brazilian certified organic propolis 1 (OP1) – has shown strong antioxidant activity. The objective was to identify active compounds from OP1 related to its strong antioxidant activity. OP1 ethanolic extracts were subjected to liquid-liquid fractionation, and the fractions presenting the strongest antioxidant activity were combined and purified into subfractions. Compounds isolated from the most active subfractions had their structure elucidated by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). As a result, five lignans and two lignan-precursors were isolated, and four of them are herein reported for the very first time in propolis. Hence, these compounds may be used as chemical markers for product standardization and authentication purposes, since OP1 is only produced by honeybees in native forests and its botanical origins remain unknown.

description: This dissertation is a qualitative case study of organizing for sustainability, which is an ambiguous term that has been part of public discussion of environmental issues  since at least 1987. A growing number of organizations employ sustainability officers responsible for communicating with internal and external audiences. Since this sort of work is becoming more common, scholarship investigating the intersections of  sustainability, organizing, and communication is needed.  This study followed the development of an office of sustainability at a large U.S. public university from the fall of 2007 to the spring of 2010. The author engaged in longterm participant observation, conducted 20 in-depth individual interviews, and two group interviews with employees and partners of the office of sustainability. This study's research questions focus upon lay theories of communication, organizing, and persuasion.  The author develops a uniquely interpretive approach to reconstructing and assessing lay theories of communication. Employing this analytic framework, the author addresses participants' lay theorizing of intraorganizational advocacy, voice, and communication ethics. Findings show that study participants navigate at least three tensions when cultivating a collective environmental voice on campus, and theorize  communication in ways that discourage or disparage overt influence and the direct engagement of communication ethics in discussions about sustainability. The study demonstrates the value of inquiry into sustainability advocates' metacommunication in  addition to their communication strategies and practices.

description: We study fundamental characteristics for the connectivity of multi-hop D2D networks. Devices are randomly distributed on street systems and are able to communicate with each other whenever their separation is smaller than some connectivity threshold. We model the street systems as Poisson-Voronoi or Poisson-Delaunay tessellations with varying street lengths. We interpret the existence of adequate D2D connectivity as percolation of the underlying random graph. We derive and compare approximations for the critical device-intensity for percolation, the percolation probability and the graph distance. Our results show that for urban areas, the Poisson Boolean Model gives a very good approximation, while for rural areas, the percolation probability stays far from 1 even far above the percolation threshold.

description: Five detailed measured sections (each >175 m), two outcrop gamma ray logs, 2100 paleocurrent measurements, and detailed facies interpretation of high-resolution composite photographs were used to document the vertical and lateral variations of the  alluvial architecture of the John Henry Member of the Upper Cretaceous Straight Cliffs Formation (southwest Kaiparowits Plateau, southern Utah). These data interpretations correlate to 24 measured sections and logged cores from previous work in fluvial and paralic facies in the John Henry Member and complement previous correlation to marginal marine facies ~60 km basinward of the study area. The proximal fluvial strata  of the ~230 m-thick member is divided into seven depositional units (DU) from stratigraphic base to top: DU-0, tidally-influenced channel belts; DU-1, highly  amalgamated, laterally accreting channel belts with tidally-influenced channel belts in the upper section; DU-2, laterally extensive (>1.2 km wide), laterally accreting channel belts; DU-3, isolated channel belts (<150 m) embedded within thick floodplain muds; DU-4,  clusters of laterally restricted (<500 m), laterally accreting channel belts and isolated channel belts; DU-5, laterally extensive, locally amalgamated, downstream accreting channel belts; and DU-6, highly amalgamated, downstream accreting channel belts. An unconformable surface at the base of DU-1 demonstrates a basinward shift in facies and is interpreted to represent erosion during base level fall.

Akt activation requires recruitment to the plasma membrane through interaction of its N-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain with the phosphoinositide products of phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K); phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bisphosphate (PI(3,4)P2) and (PI(3,4,5)P). Two synthe  tic peptide libraries were screened for binding to the Akt PH domain using competitive displacement of PI(3,4)P2. One library consisted of random octamers and the second library was biased with alternate racemic glutamate or aspartate amino acids. Twenty-seven sequences were obtained and analyzed for Akt PH binding and the three sequences with highest affinity were chosen for further study. Each peptide demonstrated low micromolar in vitro

description: This dissertation was oriented towards the isolation and structure elucidation of novel biologically active metabolites from marine organisms collected in the South Pacific. In this investigation I focused on the characterization and biological evaluation of vitilevuamide, a novel bicyclic depsipeptide isolated from two Fijian ascidians, Polysyncraton lithostrotum and Didemnun cuculliferum.  The first chapter reviews cyclic peptides of marine origin along with their biological activity. This provides an overview of the types of peptides isolated from marine sources along with their structural uniqueness and similarities. The subsequent chapters deal with different aspects of the chemical and biological characterization of vitilevuamide.  The alcohol extract of the ascidians was fractionated to yield vitilevuamide which displayed potent cytotoxic activity toward the human colon tumor cell line HCT 116. The structure of this peptide was elucidated primarily using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic techniques and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). The peptide was partially linearized using alcoholic ammonia in order to facilitate analysis by tandem mass spectrometry.  Chapter 3 deals with the synthesis of two not commercially available amino acids. The first is homoisoleucine (Hil) and the second N-methyl methoxinine (Nmm), a novel amino acid. The synthesis of Hil was successfully completed according to reported procedure. In the case of Nmm, several synthetic routes were attempted prior to successful synthesis of the molecule.  Chapter 4 deals with stereospecific assignments of the amino acids. Their absolute configurations were determined by HPLC analysis of derivatized constituent amino acids obtained from acid hydrolysis of the peptide. New conditions were determined for the unambiguous assignment of isoleucine (He), Nmm and Hil. Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS) was utilized in order to verify the stability of lanthionine (Lan) prior to assignment of stereochemistry.  The biological profile of vitilevuamide is discussed in Chapter 5. The cytotoxicity of the peptide was evaluated in a panel of six human tumor cell lines. Vitilevuamide also scored positive in an in-house mechanism based antitumor screen geared towards the detection of tubulin interactive compounds.

description: Pigeon Pea is a well-received traditional nutritious and medicinal plant in India since ancient times. The plant is identified for its impressive pharmacological activities like antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antitubercular, antioxidant, neuroprotective, antihypertensive, antihyperglycemic and anticancer properties. The metabolites from Pigeon Pea leaves methanolic extract were identified using hyphenated instruments namely Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS) and Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectroscopic (LC-MS) method. GC and LC chromatogram showed proper separation and presence of several bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, terpenoids, essential oils, alkaloids, and coumarins. LC-MS investigation reported the presence of Selidin (coumarin) and Tamarixetin (monomethoxyflavone) in the Pigeon Pea Leaves. The present investigations have demonstrated that methanolic extract of Pigeon Pea leaves exhibited impressive antibacterial activity against E. coli and antifungal activity against C. albicans with MIC values 50 μg/ml 250 μg/ml respectively. The extracts studied here have demonstrated to be a new remedial source used against diseases caused by these microorganisms.

description: Many of the existing transportation analysis methods rely on aggregate data analysis. While these models have been well established in the transportation community, there are many components of transportation that these methods neglect. Among these marginalized components are multimodal trips. Using more than one mode of transport to get from origin to destination is not nearly as common as a single-mode trip, but multimodal trips can have a significant impact on the transportation system as a whole. Additionally, traditional analysis methods have difficulty capturing nuances in travel behavior that are best observed at an individual level such as trip-chaining.  This thesis shows how an agent-based model (ABM) can be used to analyze a multimodal transportation problem. Specifically, the model presented here describes the  behaviors of bicyclists in Salt Lake City, Utah who use the TRAX light-rail system in conjunction with cycling to complete their trip. The model in this thesis includes the  effects of elevation on mode choice, which is often ignored in traditional analysis methods. The model serves as a proof-of-concept that an ABM is a worthy means of analyzing multimodal trip patterns. The model is constructed in the NetLogo environment, which shows the usefulness of freely available software. Lastly, the  outputs of the model show that an ABM can successfully capture trends that cannot be observed using traditional methods.

description: The main concern of human population genetics is to identify and describe genetic differences between groups of people. These differences give insight into the evolutionary processes and unique histories that have shaped these populations. A better understanding of human genetic diversity will lead to a better understanding of the biological systems that underly human phenotypic diversity. Here I explore three processes which have led to population differentiation in modern humans. First, I examine how differential disease risk across continents may have (or may not have) led to differences in allele frequencies immune-related genes. Second, I describe a method for discovering genomic regions in admixed populations that appear more similar to one parent population than the other. This method highlights regions which may have very recently been under selection in these populations. And finally, using the same method I attempt to discern regions of the genome in modern humans that may have been shaped by archaic admixture.

description: Previous studies have indicated that patient compliance with a 10-day course of antibiotics varies from 8% to 89%.  Two further questions must be answered in order to support or improve patient compliance in the medial practice.  First, does compliance correlate positively with an improved outcome in the disease under study; and second, if outcome is improved by compliance, what factors can be altered in the office setting to promote compliance?  This study sought to determine if 1) type of medical office or population served, 2) written instructions given to the patients, or 3) patient familiarity with the prescribing physician influenced compliance with a 10-day course of antibiotics prescribed for acute otitis media.  Whether compliance with this prescribed treatment was correlated with an improved outcome was subsequently determined.  The study population included all patients with a new case of acute otitis media who presented to any of four different types of family practice centers involved in the study.  A total of 295 patients were enrolled in the study.  Results indicated that compliance, as measured by follow-up rates in less than 11 days and urine antibiotic assay results, varies significantly between different office types and patient populations.  Written instruction did not improve compliance.  In the low socioeconomic group, compliance was improved when the patients were diagnosed by their own physician.  Neither the study factors (different office type, use of written instruction, and familiarity of the prescribing physician) nor compliance was correlated with outcome.
