Comparative isolation of bacteria from inflamed sites to identify inflammation-tailored bacteria
DownloadSpring 2021
Microbial culture collections are fundamental to microbiology research. However, with the advent of next generation sequencing research, the generation and maintenance of comprehensive culture collections has become deprioritized. As such a need exists for the improved isolation of diverse...

Comparative variation within the genome of Campylobacter jejuni NCTC 11168 in human and murine hosts
Download2014
Selinger, L. Brent, Taboada, Eduardo N., Uwiera, Richard R. E., Abbott, D. Wade, Inglis, G. Douglas, Thomas, Dallas K., Lone, Abdul G.
Campylobacteriosis incited by C. jejuni is a significant enteric disease of human beings. A person working with two reference strains of C. jejuni National Collection of Type Cultures (NCTC) 11168 developed symptoms of severe enteritis including bloody diarrhea. The worker was determined to be...

Contributions of Bim and Nur77 to multiple mechanisms of T cell tolerance following high affinity antigen encounter
DownloadSpring 2015
Prevention of autoimmune disease requires the elimination or inactivation of T cells that are highly reactive to self-peptides. During T cell development in the thymus, self-reactive thymocytes undergo negative selection upon receiving a high affinity T cell receptor (TCR) signal following...

Culture and Characterization of Kefir Organisms to Reproduce the Health Benefits of Traditional Kefir
DownloadSpring 2020
Fermented dairy products such as kefir have long been associated with a host of health benefits; however, the role that microbial composition has in these benefits has not been properly examined. This research aimed to examine how kefir impacts host metabolic health, as well as how alterations to...

Development of Polymeric Micelles for Site Specific Delivery of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs: Effect on the Cardiovascular Risk in an Experimental Model of Arthritis
DownloadFall 2019
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, are among the most widely used medications worldwide with proven efficacy in controlling inflammation and pain associated various disease conditions. The chronic systemic use of most NSAIDs, however, is...

Dietary oxysterols are incorporated in plasma triglyceride rich lipoproteins, increase their susceptibility to oxidation and increase aortic cholesterol concentration of rabbits
Download1998
Mamo, John C. L., Croft, Kevin D., Vine, Donna F., Mori, Tetsuya, Beilin, Lawrence J.
Early fatty streaks and advanced lesions are characterized by the deposition of cholesterol and cholesterol oxidation products (oxysterols). Oxysterols have been shown to be cytotoxic and pro-atherogenic compared to cholesterol and are found in cholesterol-rich processed foods. The consumption of...

Drug-disease interaction: effect of inflammation on the pharmacological response to calcium channel blockers
DownloadFall 2010
The present research is focused on the topic of inflammation-drug interaction. Inflammation complicates many human diseases and conditions ranging from obesity to cancer. Therefore, the study of the effect of inflammation on drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics is pivotal. First, we tested...

Effect of Cholesterol Accumulation on the Metabolism of Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) in Cultured N2a Cells
DownloadFall 2015
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder believed to be triggered by the accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides derived from the proteolytic processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP). Accumulated evidence has shown that alterations in the levels and/or subcellular...

Effects of aerobic training on the host systemic milieu in patients with solid tumors: An exploratory correlative study
Download2015
Stevens, Robert D., Courneya, Kerry S., Inman, Brant A., Muehlbauer, Michael, Nelson, Erik R., Jasper, Jeff, Field, Catherine J., Jones, Lee W., Glass, Oliver K., Bain, James R., Broadwater, Gloria, Goruk, Susan, Hirschey, Matthew D., Mackey, John R.
background: Few studies have investigated the effects of exercise on modulation of host factors in cancer patients. We investigated the efficacy of chronic aerobic training on multiple host-related effector pathways in patients with solid tumours. patients and methods: Paired peripheral blood...
