Research strategy Specific Aim #1. To determine the effect of miR200 family on human primary ATII cell biology and lung regeneration in IPF. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that miR200 family will stimulate ATII cell proliferation and transdifferentation to alveolar type I cells and will inhibit a fibrogenic activity of pulmonary fibroblasts in IPF leading to lung regeneration. Rationale: ATII cells have stem potential and can differentiate to alveolar type I cells (3). Senescence of ATII cells is

cardiomyopathy. This paper evaluated plasma concentrations of two cardiac biomarkers; N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and cardiac troponin I (cTNI). NT-proBNP is secreted in response to myocardial stretch, and cTNI is released from the cytosol of damaged cardiomyocytes2 . These biomarkers were evaluated in the plasma to identify if a possible correlation between plasma concentrations of the biomarkers and cardiomyopathies existed. Previous studies in hyperthyroid humans have

A Review of " Intrinsic Hippocampal Activity as a Biomarker for Cognition and Symptoms in Schizophrenia" By: RJ Parrish Abnormal Psychology: 10:00 Class March 6th 2016 According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) schizophrenia is a "chronic and severe mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. Although schizophrenia is not as common as other mental disorders, the symptoms can be very disabling."(NIMH,2016). Those with this diagnosis

Introduction Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is one of the most widely recognized major surgical procedures worldwide. Renal failure is a noteworthy cause of morbidity and mortality after cardiac surgery.1,2 Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in about 20-40% of patients3 and is associated with a mortality rate of 8% compared with 0.9% in patients without AKI. AKI requiring hemodialysis in the postoperative period is uncommon (~ 1% to 5%), yet associated with a remarkably high mortality

Abstract For all neuropsychiatric disorders, there are key graphic images and biological markers, also known as biomarkers, which can facilitate early diagnosis and the formulation of the most efficacious intervention. In sum, biomarkers work similar to a calling card by identifying the symptoms and the impact it is having on the individual. In some cases of depression, there are clear signs that can help clinicians understand the lasting effects on the person by identifying the condition’s etiology

successful prognosis of the disease, so that sensitive and specific methods are required for that. There are three essential ways to reach this goal: -specific types of biomarkers that indicates a healthy or diseased state; -a non-invasive approach to detect and monitor the biomarkers; -the technologies to discriminate the biomarkers.

screening and diagnosis, but typically patients are diagnosed at advanced stage only, and the prognosis is associated with early detection. At present serum and protein biomarkers improving early detection of breast cancer, these make better treatment options with a better response. MicroRNAs and CA 15-3 most widely used serum biomarker in breast cancer. Amplification of chromosomal regions encoding oncogenic miRNAs is consequently silencing or inhibits tumor suppressor genes. The standard treatment

THREE EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS PETROLEUM GEOLOGY -MY FIRST QUESTION AND ANSWERS 5) Discuss the different types of traps and seals and the importance of “timing”. Give an example related to the Middle East. “Trap” can be defined as shield against oil and gas movement. In other words, the trap system had been set up before the migration of oil and/or gas to this location. After coming across the trap, oil and

have not been fully developed, it makes it harder for the researcher to diagnose these individuals. The researchers may have to wait awhile until the symptom’s become worse or they can use what are called biomarkers to detect any signs of disease in the body. However with the use of biomarkers, which are “a measurable substance or condition in the body that can indicate the presence or absence of a disease,” (Harvard Women’s Health Watch) the researcher has the ability to figure out if the person

innovative approach to fill this research gap. Knowledge about the effects of ecotourism on the fitness of manatees will be determined through analysis of welfare biomarkers, such as hydrocortisone (cortisol), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and serum amyloid A
