Abstract:
Over the last two decades genetic advances have provided novel insights into the molecular basis of familial and sporadic cancers and provided the basis for the development of novel therapeutic approaches. For example, the identification of the gene for von Hippel Lindau disease provided seminal insights into its role in most clear cell renal carcinomas (RCC) and led to new treatments for RCC. In this thesis I investigated three related genetic aspects of neoplasia. Firstly, I analyzed the results of genetic testing for inherited phaeochromocytoma and investigated how clinical features could be used to stratify patients and improve the cost effectiveness of genetic testing. Secondly, I sought to identify novel causes of inherited neoplasia. Through exome sequencing of familial RCC kindreds, \(CDKN2B\) was identified as a novel familial RCC gene. The role of \(CDKN2B\) mutations in neoplasia was evaluated in familial and sporadic RCC and phaeochromocytoma. \(In\) \(vitro\) assays confirmed that germline \(CDKN2B\) mutations associated with inherited RCC caused an abrogation of tumour suppressor function. Finally, I explored how a gene-based strategy might be used to identify novel therapeutic strategies, Thus, using a siRNA library screen, in RCC cells with inactivated \(VHL\), potential candidate targets (e.g. \({PLK1/STK}\)-\(10\)) were identified for selectively decreasing the viability of RCC cells with inactivated \(VHL\).

Abstract:
OBJETIVO: Crianças e adolescentes com câncer apresentam sintomas múltiplos que incluem fadiga, perturbações do sono, dor e náuseas. Esses sintomas estão associados à diminuição da qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde (QVRS). O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar: a) fadiga, padrão de sono e QVRS de crianças e adolescentes hospitalizados com câncer; b) relações entre fadiga, padrão de sono e QVRS; c) fatores como idade, sexo, diagnóstico de câncer, motivo da internação, tempo em quimioterapia, uso de corticosteroides, níveis de hematócrito e hemoglobina e dias pós-quimioterapia que podem ter efeitos significativos na fadiga, sono e QVRS. PRESSUPOSTO TEÓRICO: A Teoria de Gerenciamento de Sintoma (TGS) foi utilizada para fundamentar esta pesquisa. TGS é constituída por três componentes que estão inter-relacionados: a experiência do sintoma, o gerenciamento do sintoma e resultados, que estão inseridas no contexto da pessoa, da saúde-doença e do meio ambiente. MÉTODO: O delineamento da pesquisa foi quantitativo, descritivo e transversal. Participantes preencheram a PedsQL(TM) Escala Multidimensional do Cansaço para mensuração da fadiga, Actigraph de pulso, por no mínimo três dias, como dispositivo para avaliação do padrão de sono e o PedsQL(TM) Inventário Pediátrico de Qualidade de Vida, Módulo Genérico e Módulo Câncer, para avaliação da QVRS. RESULTADOS: Participaram 38 crianças e adolescentes hospitalizados com câncer e em seguimento em um hospital público do interior paulista. Os resultados demonstraram escores muito baixos de fadiga (63,8 ± 18,5) e qualidade de vida (QVRS) (genérica: 61,1 ± 17,0; câncer: 59,1 ± 16,7). Duração do sono foi 3,4 ± 1,9 horas. Variações na fadiga podem ser explicadas por: 1) diagnóstico de tumores de sistema nervoso central, tempo em tratamento quimioterápico e QVRS total (câncer) (81,1%); 2) diagnóstico de sarcoma, tempo em tratamento quimioterápico, dores e machucados, ansiedade a procedimentos, dificuldades cognitivas e aparência física (89,6%); e 3) QVRS total (câncer) e duração do sono (74,7%). CONCLUSÕES: Crianças e adolescentes hospitalizados com câncer experienciam fadiga, distúrbios do sono e baixa QVRS. Enfermeiros precisam avaliar a fadiga, o sono e a QVRS. Futuros estudos são necessários para investigar estratégias de gerenciamento eficazes que podem diminuir a fadiga, melhorar o sono e aumentar a QVRS em crianças e adolescentes hospitalizadas com câncer
PURPOSE: Children and adolescents with cancer experience multiple symptoms, such as fatigue, sleep disturbance, pain, and nausea. These symptoms are associated with lower health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The purpose of this research was to examine: a) fatigue, sleep patterns, and HRQoL in hospitalized children and adolescents with cancer; b) relationships among fatigue, sleep patterns, and HRQoL; c) factors, such as age, gender, cancer diagnosis, reason for hospitalization, length of chemotherapy, use of dexamethasone, hematocrit and hemoglobin levels and days post-chemotherapy that may have significant effects on fatigue, sleep and HRQoL. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK: The Symptom Management Theory (SMT) was used as a guiding framework for the research. SMT consists of three components that are interrelated: symptom experience, symptom management strategies and outcomes, which are embedded in the context of person, health/illness, and environment. METHODS: The research design was quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional. Participants completed the PedsQL(TM) Multidimensional Fatigue Scale to measure fatigue, wore the wrist Actigraph for the minimum of three days to assess sleep patterns, and the PedsQL(TM) Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (Generic and Cancer) to assess HRQoL. RESULTS: The participants were 38 children (9.7 ±1.3 age in years) and adolescents (14.8 ± 1.4 age in years) hospitalized with cancer at a public hospital in the interior of the State of São Paulo, Brazil. The results demonstrated low fatigue scores (63.8 ± 18.5) and quality of life (HRQoL) scores (generic: 61.1± 17.0; cancer: 59.1 ± 16.7). Sleep duration was 3.4 ± 1.9 hours. Variations in fatigue levels may be explained by: 1) a diagnosis of brain tumor, the length of chemotherapy and total HRQoL (81.1%); 2) a diagnosis of sarcoma, length of chemotherapy, pain and hurt, procedural anxiety, cognitive problems and physical appearance (89.6%); and 3) the total HRQoL (cancer) and sleep duration (74.7%). CONCLUSIONS: Hospitalized children and adolescents with cancer experience fatigue, sleep disturbance, and low HRQoL. Nurses need to assess fatigue, sleep, and HRQoL. Future studies are needed to investigate effective management strategies that may decrease fatigue, improve sleep, and increase HRQoL in hospitalized children and adolescents with cancer

英文摘要 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment using oxygen administered at a greater than normal atmospheric pressure. Our previous experiments demonstrated that exposure to early HBOT attenuated the severity of disease progression in autoimmune NZB/W F1 mice; proposing a targeted apoptosis to hyperproliferating lymphocytes. The aims of our studies are to compare the threshold to oxidative stress induced by hyperbaric oxygen treatment between hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells and to further clarify the potential signaling pathway in hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2)-induced apoptosis of cancer cells. Hematopoietic (Jurkat, NCI-H929) cells and non-hematopoietic (A549, MCF-7, PC12) cells were received HBOT from 2.5 to 3.5 atmosphere absolute (ATA) of 100% oxygen for 6 h, and a significant percentage of apoptosis were shown only in hematopoietic cells by either Annexin V or TUNEL assay. Oxidative stress was illustrated higher in HBO2-treated hematopoietic cells by superoxide fluorochrome detectors. The phosphorylation of p38 MAPK was significantly increased in hematopoietic cells. Moreover, HBOT inhibited proliferation on non-hematopoietic cells in vitro. Non-hematopoietic human lung carcinoma A549-transferred SCID mice were selected as in vivo models to detect the potential mechanism of HBOT in cancer therapy. A549-transferred SCID mice were treated with HBOT 2.5 ATA/90 min/d over 2 weeks after 45 days of tumor establishment. Degenerated cancer cells with nuclear debris were aggregated after 14 days of HBO2 treatment. Moreover, immunostaining of cleaved caspase-3 was demonstrated after 28 days of HBO2 exposure. Our results argue that HBO2 treatment might potentially target apoptosis to hyperproliferating cancer cells.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT It has been widely recognized that microRNAs are involved in nearly all cellular processes that have been investigated and contribute to a variety of diseases including cancer. Our prior studies demonstrated the depletion of one-carbon metabolism related B-vitamins, including folate, vitamin B2, B6 and B12, induced a genomic DNA hypomethylation and an elevation of the tumorigenic Wnt signaling in mouse colonic epithelium. The present study aimed to define whether microRNAs serve as mediators between these B-vitamins and the Wnt signaling, and thereby influence intestinal tumorigenesis. MicroRNA expression profiles were measured using miRNA microarray and real-time PCR on colonic epithelial cells from Apc1638N mice fed with diets deplete or sufficient in those B-vitamins. In silico bioinformatic analysis were performed to predict microRNA gene targets within the Wnt signaling cascade. Out of 609 microRNA examined, 18 microRNAs were found to be either significantly (p < 0.05) or mildly (p < 0.10) differentially expressed in the colonic epithelium of mice fed the depleted diet when compared to the counterpart. Bioinformatic prediction of microRNA gene targets identified 40 genes within the Wnt pathway to have homology with microRNA seed sequences within their 3’-UTR or protein coding sequence. Of the 6 genes tested for experimentally target validation, the expression of Sfrp1 was shown to be significantly inhibited (p < 0.05) whereas β-catenin was shown to be significantly elevated (p < 0.05) with alterations of others in a fashion indicating the activation of Wnt signaling. These findings indicate that microRNAs may constitute a mechanism by which one-carbon B-vitamin depletions regulate the Wnt signaling pathway and thereby inform intestinal tumorigenesis.

Abstract:
Per the Louisiana Department of Health, mesothelioma and asbestos related deaths are higher than the national average (https://ldh.la.gov/Coronavirus/ accessed 11_17_2021). Occupational exposure to various chemicals in different industries including, petrochemical, construction, plumbing, manufacturing etc. can lead to lung cancer and even mesothelioma. Louisiana has a comparatively higher fatality rate (66.6 in 100,000 people) than the USA national average (58.7 in 100,000 people) for lung cancer and other lung related disorders. Louisiana’s five Mississippi River Ports together, make the largest port complex in the world. These ports and waterways carry a quarter of the nation’s waterborne commerce including half of the nation’s grain, and nearly a quarter of the nation’s coal. They allow connection to major industries, such as agriculture, manufacturing, transportation/warehousing, mining, and oil/chemical. Unfortunately, these industries brought about most occupational exposure sources. However, there is no existing data source that accurately tracks the location of high-risk parishes and the predominant occupations in those parishes. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze the route of occupational exposure of asbestos or other lung related carcinogens in Louisiana which would help in exposure mitigation.

Abstract:
Hepatocellular carcinoma is a type of primary liver cancer that accounts for 75% of all liver cancers globally. HCC is said to be the 6th most prevalent cancer and the 3rd major cause of cancer related death accounting for approximately 0.32 million annual deaths across the globe. The increasing incidence of HCC with a very high mortality rate is a major problem encountered by many regions of the world including both developing and developed countries and is a source of increasing economic burden. Therefore, effective treatment strategies for HCC are the need of the hour. Oxidative stress can be referred to as the lack of proportion between generation of reactive oxygen species and their removal by antioxidant defense mechanisms. This imbalance can have deleterious effects and contributes to the pathophysiology of several disorders including inflammation, aging cataract, diabetes and cancer. However, this controversial role of oxidative stress leading to apoptosis can be acquired as a treatment for HCC. The current study aimed to investigate the effect of induced oxidative stress via hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) on the proliferation of HCC Huh-7 cells in-vitro. The toxicity generated by H2O2 produce anti- proliferative effect on HCC Huh-7 cells and up regulates the oxidative stress markers. Proteomic studies were conducted in order to identify differential protein expression as potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of HCC.

Full text
Abstract:
Obesity is a growing public health problem in the United States. Obese individuals are at greater risk for early death as well as chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and musculoskeletal disorders. The economic costs related to obesity are substantial and are impacting society as a whole. More specifically they are having an impact on healthcare workers since obese individuals use healthcare services at a greater rate than normal weight individuals. The risk of injury to healthcare workers is also growing as this patient population increases. To date, much of the focus on injury risk to healthcare workers from obese patients has been in the area of patient handling at the bedside. However, there are other disciplines with increasing injury risks due to the growing needs of obese patients in surgery, OB/GYN, ultrasound, radiology, and even morgue/autopsy. It is difficult to control patient weights but more emphasis could be placed on maintaining healthy weights of healthcare workers. Previous research has demonstrated a relationship between workers BMI and injury rates. Thus the risks of working with obese patients coupled with growing obesity among healthcare workers is creating a “perfect storm” that can negatively impact the delivery of quality healthcare.

Abstract:
Blood vessel diseases such as ischemic cardiac disease or cerebral aneurysm are life-threatening disorders and as large a cause of death as cancer in many countries. The rupture of a cerebral aneurysm usually causes subarachnoidal hemorrhage the mortality of which is very high. Previous studies have proved that the genesis and growth of aneurysm are related to hemodynamics. Especially, in endovascular therapy for cerebral aneurysms using medical devices such as coils or stents, hemodynamics in an aneurysm are related to thrombosis formation in the aneurysm and to its repair. In vascular research using a biomodel (blood vessel phantom with mechanical properties similar to a human artery) for treating cerebral aneurysm, the working fluid, termed Blood-Mimicking Fluid (BMF), should mimic human blood with respect to viscosity so as to obtain realistic blood flow modeling in in vitro measurements. Moreover, refractive indices of BMF must be adjusted to fit biomodel materials because the materials used for Particle Image Velocimetry, one of the best tools for measurement of flow, have various refractive indices. For simultaneous adjustment of the two parameters, i.e. kinematic viscosity and refractive index, an aqueous mixture of glycerol and sodium iodide has been used in previous research. In this paper, we develop a systematic way to precisely find the two targeted parameters of BMF by showing the measurement values of the refractive index and the viscosity of the two aqueous solutions. The refractive index to light of fluorescent was measured with a critical angle refractometer while temperature of sample was also measured. And a vibration-type viscometer was used to obtain the dynamic viscosity under the same condition as refractive index measurement. These measurements were carried out at room temperature and pressure, respectively. As a result of detailed measurements at various proportions, refractive indices of the aqueous solution of glycerol (Gly. aq.) increase monotonically. On the one hand, the kinematic viscosity of Gly. aq. increases very slightly with its proportion and that of the aqueous solution of sodium iodide (NaI aq.) exhibits unique behavior. The results of combining Gly. aq. and NaI aq. indicate that the mixture has a wide range of kinematic viscosity, including the value of blood (around 3.8 mm2/s), at the targeted refractive index. In conclusion, this mixing method is useful for BMF preparation with the adjustment of refractive index and kinematic viscosity.

Abstract:
The concept of food as medicine is not new. The use of foods to prevent and/or treat certain diseases can be found in ancient drawings and writings. The most famous statement came from Hippocrates, who said “Let food be thy medicine.” It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics to recognize that although all foods provide some level of physiological function, the term, “functional foods” is defined as whole foods along with fortified, enriched, or enhanced foods that have a potentially beneficial effect on health when consumed as part of a varied diet regularly at effective levels based on significant standards of evidence. The most prominent results indicated that high total intake of fruits and vegetables, and some of their specific subgroups including berries, citrus, and green leafy vegetables, may promote higher levels of optimism and self-efficacy, as well as reduce the level of psychological distress, ambiguity, and cancer fatalism, and protect against depressive symptoms. Flavonoids are a class of organic polyphenolic compounds found in varying concentrations in plant-based whole foods such as berries, tea, cocoa, soybeans, and grains. Recent studies suggest that flavonoids can be beneficial to both cognitive and physiological health. As such, long term chronic supplementation with flavonoids has been investigated extensively, particularly concerning cognitive ageing and related neurodegenerative disorders. Less attention has been given to the acute effect of flavonoids on cognitive outcomes, within the immediate 0–6 h post ingestion. Therefore, the general recommendation to consume at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day may be beneficial also for mental health. Immediate cognitive enhancement is often desirable in academic and work environments, such as during an exam or assessment. Besides, support a positive role for the nutrients EPA, DHA, magnesium, alpha-tocopherol, and folic acid, either alone or in combination with drugs, in the preservation of normal brain function and mental well-being. In this study, the effects of consumption of some functions on mood, cognitive function and mental health were investigated. Scientific findings support the combination of micro and macronutrients in a balanced and varied diet along with a healthy lifestyle for the maintenance of normal brain function, improvement of mental abilities, concentration, memory and alertness. Food components actively participate in the generation of nerve impulses by influencing neurotransmitters that activate different parts of the brain, thereby regulating our mental abilities, emotions and mood.
