Project description:This research study is about determining how well a Technically Improved Colonoscope from Olympus works in helping the doctor in guiding the scope through the large bowel or colon. When a doctor performs a colonoscopy he guides or inserts the scope from the rectum to the appendix where the small bowel ends and the large bowel begins. There are points during this insertion where there are turns in the colon which can create a loop in the colonoscope. These loops can stretch the colon and create some discomfort and also require special maneuvers by the nurse or patient to help reduce or minimize the loop. Thus, reducing the looping will make it more comfortable for the patient and more efficient for screening for polyps. The purpose of the study is to examine this colonoscope and compare it to the traditional adult colonoscope (Olympus CF-H180). The investigators hypothesis is that this colonoscope will function better with regard to insertion of the scope from the rectum to the cecum.

Project description:To evaluate the biological effects at the transcriptional level of manufactured nanomaterials, whole genome microarrays of rat alveolar macrophages (NR8383) exposed to three types of submicron-diameter carbon fibers (SCFs) with different physicochemical properties were performed. In comparison with the fibers of SCF1, the fibers of SCF2 were shorter, and the fibers of SCF3 were thinner.

Project description:In these studies, we used splice variant-specific microarrays manufactured by the ExonHit company ( www.exonhit.com) on the Affymetrix platform. The goal was to identify splice isoforms whose expression is altered in whole blood of early-stage ParkinsonM-bM-^@M-^Ys disease patients compared to healthy and neurodegenerative disease controls. The study included 19 cases of ParkinsonM-bM-^@M-^Ys disease (PD) samples, 4 of multiple system atrophy (MSA), 4 progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and 10 healthy controls. Thirteen splice variants were confirmed in quantitative polymerase chain reactions and used to classify blinded samples from ParkinsonM-bM-^@M-^Ys disease patients and controls with 90% accuracy and 94% sensitivity. In these studies, we used splice variant-specific microarrays manufactured by the ExonHit company ( www.exonhit.com) on the Affymetrix platform. The study included 19 cases of ParkinsonM-bM-^@M-^Ys disease (PD) samples and 20 control samples including 4 cases of multiple system atrophy (MSA), 4 progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and 12 healthy controls. Splice isoforms differentially expressed in PD vs any other control group were identified and validated using real-time quantitative PCR on two independent sets of 33 coded and 53 blinded samples.

Project description:Goat (Capra hircus) has always been a source of fibre for human use and holds an important place in international high-end textiles. Fibre diameter is the most concerned economic indicator for producers. Understanding the formation mechanism of fibre diameter and related key proteins can help optimize and control the production of cashmere. Although mass spectrometry (MS)-based workflows have made great progress in achieving near-genome-wide coverage, the equivalent complete map of cashmere proteome is still elusive. Here, we performed label-free liquid chromatography coupled with tandem MS to profile the cashmere proteome. Firstly, by measuring the fibre diameter, it was found that the average fibre diameter of Alxa cashmere was significantly smaller than that of Alpas. With the help of proteomics technology,170 proteins were detected with high confidence. A total of 68 differentially expressed proteins were identified in the two cashmere, 131 proteins were specifically expressed in Alpas, and 40 proteins were specifically expressed in Alxa. Through Gene Ontology enrichment analysis, the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, Protein-Protein Interaction network construction, and the CytoHubba plugin of the Cytoscape software were used to interpret the proteomic data. Finally, KRT10, KRT14, KRT17, and KRT82 played a key role in leading to the difference in the diameter of the two fibres. Combined with bioinformatics, the structure and function of these proteins were further studied to provide a more com-prehensive perspective for understanding the regulation mechanism of cashmere diameter. At the same time, combined with the information on genetics and gene expression, the genetic factors and epigenetic regulation mechanisms affecting cashmere fibre diameter can be further studied.

Project description:Bacteria are orders of magnitude smaller than mammalian cells, and while single cell proteomics (SCP) detects and quantifies today several thousands of proteins per mammalian cell, it is not at all clear whether conventional SCP methods will be suitable for bacteria. Here we report on the first successful attempt to detect proteins from individual Escherichia coli bacteria, with validation of our findings by comparison with bulk proteomics data.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening program can reduce colon cancer-related mortality. Current CRC screening methods include stool occult blood and DNA testing, blood based tests and radiologic tests. Colonoscopy is considered the gold standard to detect colorectal neoplasms. Previous studies have estimated that cancer mortality to be 68% to 88% lower among persons who undergo screening colonoscopy than among those who do not. However, colonoscopy is an invasive examination, and 10% to 20% of patients fail to tolerate the procedure; therefore, greatly reduces the success rate of completion of colon examination.
External controllability of capsule endoscope by means of an applied magnetic field is a possible solution to the maneuvering problem. However, there is no effective system with straight forward clinical applicability till now. This is ascribable to a lack of reliable magnetic instrumentation suitable for such a purpose. We have reported that magnetic field navigator (MFN) can effectively control the locomotion of capsule endoscope. We have demonstrated the feasibility and safety of magnetic-assisted capsule endoscope for the examination of upper gastrointestinal tract. In this study, we develop a magnetic-assisted capsule colonoscope by combination of the integrated circuit complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor imaging sensor, light-emitting diode, and magnetic control technology. This magnetic-assisted capsule colonoscope operation system includes a MFN Platform, high-end hand-controlled joystick, combined circuit component, control interface and software. This magnetic-assisted capsule colonoscope operation system creates a friendly operating environment for the operators, and may establishe a novel screening system for the colon.

Project description:Aims: We tested the hypothesis that central-marginal dispersion in adipocyte diameter in epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) would represent fibrotic remodelling of EAT, a crucial state to promote atrial myocardial fibrosis to form a substrate of atrial fibrillation (AF). We also investigated whether the central-marginal EAT density ratio by the analyses of computed tomographic (CT) imaging could predict the central-marginal adipocyte diameter ratio in EAT. Methods and results: Left atrial appendage samples were obtained from 76 consecutive AF patients during cardiovascular surgery. EAT at central area (Central EAT) and that adjacent to atrial myocardium (Marginal EAT) were evaluated. Compared to the Central EAT, the dimeter of adipocytes was smaller, fibrotic remodeling of EAT (EAT fibrosis) was more severe, and the infiltration of CD3-, CD68-, or α-SMA-positive cells were more abundant in the Marginal EAT. EAT fibrosis positively correlated with adipocyte diameter in the Central EAT, while it negatively correlated with that in the Marginal EAT, resulting in the tightly positive correlation between EAT fibrosis and the ratio of central to marginal adipocyte diameter (C/M diameter ratio) (r=0.73, p<0.01). The C/M diameter ratio was greater in patients with persistent AF (PeAF) than in those with paroxysmal AF (PAF) (p<0.01). The CT density in Central EAT and Marginal EAT was measured and their ratio (C/M density ratio) was calculated. The C/M density ratio correlated tightly with the C/M diameter ratio (r=0.69, p<0.01). Conclusion: Our results suggest that C/M adipocyte diameter ratio was associated with fibrotic remodeling of EAT and progression of AF. Our results also suggest that C/M adipocyte diameter ratio could be accurately predicted by the analyses of CT findings noninvasively.
