Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references (21 leaves). Previous studies have found that green tea and its antitoxidant constituents, the catechins, are hypocholesterolaemic in both epidemiological and animal intervetion studies. The main objectives of the present study were to investigate the mechanism by which green tea and its most abundant catechin constituent epigallocatechin gallate increase the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor of HepG2 cells. In addition, it was hoped to determine if a crude catechin extract from green tea could lower plasma cholesterol levels in the hypercholesterolaemi

>Magister Scientiae - MSc<br>Despite the wide success of antimicrobial agents against waterborne pathogens, waterborne disease continues to pose a threat to both mankind and animals. A major concern is that certain bacteria have developed resistance to antimicrobial agents, as a result of their overuse. Silver (Ag) nanoparticles are widely used for antibacterial purposes such as medical dressings. However, they are highly toxic to human cells. Hence, there is a great interest in developing next generation antibacterial nanoparticles that are as effective as Ag nanoparticles for antibacterial f

Although the disease is primarily controlled with applications of fungicides, the improvement of cultural methods of disease management should lessen this dependence on chemical control. Such improvements would, however, not be possible without knowledge of the inoculum sources and dispersal of the pathogen.

Coming to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of MPSIIIB has become a necessity to assess the efficacy of gene therapy treatment regarding loss of neuronal plasticity, and to define the best conditions for treatment.

The cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), resulting from complications of atherosclerosis, remain the leading cause of morbidity and death worldwide. Atherosclerosis as a chronic inflammatory disease, involves both innate and adaptive arms of immunity in which macrophages play the orchestral role in modulating lesion initiation, progression, and potentially devastating thrombotic complications. Available evidences support the notion of a central role of oxidative stress, due mainly to the imbalance between antioxidants and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in CVDs.

The aim was to expand the catalogue of known effects of molecular chaperones on the PD implicated protein, which could have therapeutic significance. We showed that Hsc70 inhibits the assembly of α-Syn into fibrils, by binding with high affinity to the soluble form of α-Syn.

Abstract:

The Tec family tyrosine kinases Itk, Tec and Rlk are expressed in T cells. Previous studies have established that these kinases are critical for TCR signaling, leading to the activation of PLCγ1. To further understand the functions of Tec kinases in T cell activation, we took three different approaches. First, we performed a thorough analysis of CD28-mediated signaling events and functional responses with purified naïve T cells from Itk-/- mice and a highly controlled stimulation system. Data from this set of studies definitively demonstrate that CD28 costimulation functions efficiently in naï

Abstract:

Background and Purpose: Just over 15% of children under 18 years of age in the UnitedStates, or approximately 11.2 million children, are estimated to have special healthcare needs.Although children with special healthcare needs (CSHCN) make up a small percentage of thepediatric population, they account for over one third of pediatric medical care. Parental attitudesregarding immunization play a significant role in vaccination rates among children. The purposeof this research is to explore parental attitudes regarding immunization of CSHCN.Methods: This qualitative study focused on parental per

Abstract:

The role of odorant binding proteins in the olfaction of mosquitoes, the primary mechanism of human host recognition, has been an important focus of biological research in the field of infectious disease transmission by these insects. This thesis provides an in depth knowledge of these proteins in three mosquito species Anopheles gambiae, Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus. A large scale analysis on these genomes has been carried out towards the identification of the odorant binding proteins in the mosquito genomes. Identification of many new OBP members, in particular in the Aedes aegyp

Abstract:

Les rickettsies sont de petites bactéries à Gram-négatif associées à différentes espèces d'arthropodes. Leur nature intracellulaire stricte a longtemps été un obstacle à la compréhension des mécanismes moléculaires responsables de leur pathogénicité qui restent mal connus. L'adhésion bactérienne, qui est une étape clef de l'invasion des tissus de l'hôte, met en jeu les protéines rOmpA et rOmpB (rickettsial outer membrane proteins), identifiées depuis longtemps comme des antigènes de surface majeurs des rickettsies. L'objectif de cette thèse a été de caractériser une autre adhésine potentielle

Abstract:

Long term longitudinal surveys have the advantage to enable several sampling of the studied phenomena and then, with the repeated measures obtained, find a confirmed tendency. However, these long term surveys generate large epidemiological datasets including more sources of noise than normal datasets (e.g. one single measure per observation unit) and potential correlation in the measured values. Here, we studied data from a long-term epidemiological and genetic survey of malaria disease in two family-based cohorts in Senegal, followed for 19 years (1990-2008) in Dielmo and for 16 years (1993-2

Abstract:

An important cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) is increased pulmonary blood flow (PBF). To gain a better understanding of the disease process, the changes in biochemical pathways and metabolism of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) were studied using a unique surgical ovine model of increased pulmonary blood flow. PASMCs isolated from 4-week-old lambs with increased PBF (shunt) showed lower oxygen consumption rates and lower extracellular acidification rates linked to glutamine metabolism when compared to controls.

La maladie d’Alzheimer (MA) est la première cause de démence dans le monde, touchant plus de 20 millions de personnes. Son diagnostic précoce est essentiel pour assurer une prise en charge adéquate des patients ainsi que pour développer et tester de nouveaux traitements. La MA est une maladie complexe qui nécessite différentes mesures pour être caractérisée : tests cognitifs et cliniques, neuroimagerie, notamment l’imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM) et la tomographie par émission de positons (TEP), génotypage, etc. Il y a un intérêt à explorer les capacités discriminatoires et prédictives

Joint European Society of Cardiology and European Association for Cardiothoracic Surgery (ESC/EACTS) Guidelines on Myocardial Revascularisation advocate Heart Team discussion of all patients with severe coronary artery disease. Furthermore, incomplete revascularisation is known to increase morbidity and mortality following intervention. The guidelines suggest that patients with left main stem, proximal LAD or three vessel disease (3VD) should be discussed with a surgeon prior to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The aim of this project is to assess the impact of the guidelines on refer
