Full textWe develop a multispecies continuum model to simulate the spatiotemporal dynamics of cell lineages in solid tumors is discussed. The model accounts for protein signaling factors produced by cells in lineages, and nutrients supplied by the microenvironment. We find that the combination therapy involving differentiation promoters and radiotherapy is very effective in eradicating such a tumor. We investigate the effect of production of various feedback factors by healthy tissue on tumor morphologies. Our simulation results show that the larger production rate of the negative feedback factor by healthy tissue surrounding the tumor, in general lead to smaller, more compact and more circular tumor shapes. However, the increase in the concentration of these feedback factors may have non-monotone effect on the tumor morphologies. We investigate the effect of initial shape on therapy effectiveness. The results from the simulations show that the initial tumor geometry might play an important role in tumor prognostic and the effectiveness of a specific treatment. We observe that the therapy is more effective on tumors that still respond to the signals received from the healthy tissue in comparison with the ones that do not respond to signaling factors (in this case differentiation signals) by stromal tissue or healthy tissue surrounding the tumor. It is shown that the tumors with larger shape factors and smaller areas (more elongated and thinner) respond better to treatment, and the combination therapy is more successful on tumors with such characteristics. We applied mathematical modeling of radiotherapy using experimental data provided from our collaborative work with radiational oncology department of University of California, Los Angeles. Our investigations show that in order to match the experimental results with the simulations, the dedifferentiation rate of non-stem cells should be increased as a function of radiation dose. It is also observed that the population of induced stem cells followed such exponential relationship with respect to therapy dose. The results from simulations and the analysis of the equations suggest that in order for the simulation results to match with the experimental data, the original stem cells and the induced stem cells may undergo direct differentiation.

Full textBien que le consentement éclairé soit une partie intégrante de la médecine contemporaine, un fossé entre les objectifs éthiques et les connaissances psychologiques demeure présent. En effet, malgré l'accumulation de preuves scientifiques démontrant l'influence du formulaire de consentement sur le comportement humain, les médecins et bioéthiciens considèrent rarement ce dernier comme ayant un impact thérapeutique. Nous explorons ici la possibilité de percevoir cette norme de diligence comme étant à la fois une obligation éthique du milieu clinique et une procédure thérapeutique pouvant, probablement par le biais d'un effet placebo, aider ou nuire à la santé de l'individu.En premier lieu, dans une revue de la littérature nous examinons l'historique et les composantes du processus de consentement éclairé et étudions comment ce dernier correspond aux principes de la bioéthique et aux modèles de relation entre les patients et les professionnels de la santé. Nous explorerons également les mécanismes psychologiques importants dans le processus de consentement et dans la pratique clinique, comme par exemple les effets placebo et nocebo. Mettant en pratique cette information, nous proposons une attirante suggestion dans l'utilisation du processus de consentement éclairé qui promet de rééquilibrer l'harmonie entre les principes éthiques d'autonomie et de non-malfaisance, lesquels ont tendance à s'affronter dans l'utilisation traditionnelle de ce processus. Notre suggestion servira également d'intervention qui aidera au processus de guérison. Enfin, la revue littéraire expliquera les préoccupations éthiques comprises dans l'utilisation des placebos, comme par exemple la déception, l'abus de confiance et la manipulation, puis détaillera en quoi l'utilisation de l'effet placebo dans le processus de consentement contrebat ces problèmes éthiques.En second lieu, nous cherchons à savoir si le processus de consentement éclairé peut effectivement fonctionner comme une intervention thérapeutique autonome. Plus précisément, nous avons testé si des suggestions administrées au cours du processus de consentement peuvent produire un effet placebo influençant l'expérience thérapeutique de patients suite à l'extraction chirurgicale des troisièmes molaires. Nous avons menée cette étude à l'Hôpital Général Juif de Montréal et avons utilisé un échantillonnage aléatoire afin de s'assurer de la validité des résultats. Les résultats de cette étude pilote indiquent qu'une légère modification de l'information et de la teneur générale du formulaire de consentement suffit pour réduire la sévérité des symptômes évalués sur l'échelle de sévérité des symptômes postopératoires [Postoperative Symptom Severity Scale], ainsi que pour réduire les indices de douleur du Questionnaire sur la douleur de McGill [McGill Pain Questionnaire]. En effet, nos résultats démontrent qu'une modification des attentes des patients lors du processus de consentement peut éliminer, ou du moins réduire, les symptômes reliés à l'expérience postopératoire.Finalement, nous étudions les facteurs de risque souvent considérés comme ayant un impact sur la guérison suite à l'extraction chirurgicale d'une troisième molaire. L'analyse incluait les attentes des patients concernant la sévérité des symptômes post-chirurgicaux. Des coefficients standardisés ont indiqué que, parmi les variables étudiées (âge, sexe, nombre de dents extraites, difficulté de l'extraction, temps d'opération, intervention et attentes des patients), les attentes des patients sont les meilleurs prédicteurs des résultats postopératoires. Ces résultats démontrent l'importance des attentes préopératoires sur la prédiction des symptômes et de leur sévérité chez des patients en rémission chirurgicale.

Identification of effective drug targets to intervene, either as single agent therapy or in combination, is a critical question in drug development. As complexity of disease like cancer is revealed, it has become clear that a holistic network approach is needed to identify drug targets that are specially positioned to provide desired leverage on disease phenotypes. In this thesis we develop a computational framework to exhaustively evaluate target behaviors in biochemical network, either as single agent or combination therapies. We present our single target therapy work as a problem of identifying good places to intervene in a network. We quantify a relationship between how interventions at different places in network affect an output of interest. We use this quantitative relationship between target inhibited and output of interest as a metric to compare targets. In network analyzed here, most targets show a sub-linear behavior where a large percentage of targeted molecule needs to be inhibited to see a small change on output. The other key observation is that targets at the top of the network exerted relatively small control compared to the targets at the bottom of the network. In the combination therapy work we study how combination of drug concentrations affect network output of interest compared to when one of the drugs was given alone at equivalent concentrations. By adapting the definitions of additive, synergistic, and antagonistic combination behaviors developed by Ting Chao-Chou (Chou TC, Talalay P (1984), Advances in enzyme regulation 22: 27-55) for our system and systematically perturbing biochemical pathway, we explore the range of combination behaviors for all plausible combination targets. This holistic approach reveals that most target combinations show additive behaviors. Synergistic, and antagonistic behaviors are rare. Even when combinations are classified as synergistic or antagonistic, they show this behavior only in a small range of the inhibitor concentrations. This work is developed in a particular variant of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor pathway for which a detailed mathematical model was first proposed by Schoeberl et al. Computational framework developed in this work is applicable to any biochemical network.
