Abstract:

Sensory transmission was studied in trigeminal root ganglia (TRG) of guinea pigs, using intracellular recording techniques. One approach was to examine in detail the effects of applications of different K⁺-channel blockers on the membrane voltage responses and outward currents of TRG neurons, in order to better understand the fundamental processes that affect their excitabilities and repetitive spike discharge. The second approach was to examine several endogenous substances for their effects on the excitabilities of TRG neurons. In addition, a strategy was developed for electrophysiological

Abstract:

Voltage-gated potassium currents make important contributions to neuronal function. Postsynaptically, potassium currents regulate excitability to depolarizing inputs and determine action potential firing frequency. Furthermore, voltage-gated potassium channels are known to affect the shape of the presynaptic action potential, so as to influence calcium influx and neurotransmitter release. I have focused on the expression of voltage-gated potassium channel genes by peripheral neurons. Among my objectives were to determine which voltage-gated potassium channel genes are expressed by sympathetic

Abstract:

Introduction Peripheral nerve injury is common in clinical practice. The usual etiologies are penetrating injury, stretch, compression, crush and ischemia. Outcome of nerve injury depends on the etiology and also the management. Nerve defect is a challenging scenario. The current gold standard of managing a nerve defect is autologous nerve graft. However, due to the selection of nerve graft and donor site morbidity, artificial nerve conduits are gaining popularity. However, there are drawbacks of single hollow conduit such as lack of internal support to prevent conduit collapse and inabili

In response to high and rising amputation rates, significant advances have been made in the field of prosthetic limb design. Unfortunately, there exists a lag in the neural interfacing technology required to provide an adequate link between the nervous system and this emerging generation of advanced prosthetic devices. Novel approaches to peripheral nerve interfacing are required to establish the stable, high channel count connections necessary to provide natural, thought driven control of an external prosthesis.

Abstract:

The pathogenesis of neuropathic pain and its chronicization process are still not fully elucidated. For this reason, therapies currently ongoing in the clinic are aimed to treat mostly the symptoms, considering poorly the target mechanisms causing those pathologies. The approach that we choose to investigate new pharmacological targets for the therapy of chronic pain, was to firstly investigate the mechanisms of nociception in physiological condition, finding new molecular pathways responsible for nociception modulation. Secondly, we were aimed to study the contribution of these targets in the

Abstract:

We analyze the power counting of the peripheral singlet partial waves in nucleon-nucleon scattering. In agreement with conventional wisdom, we find that pion exchanges are perturbative in the peripheral singlets. We quantify from the effective field theory perspective the well-known suppression induced by the centrifugal barrier in the pion-exchange interactions. By exploring perturbation theory up to fourth order, we find that the one-pion-exchange potential in these channels is demoted from leading to subleading order by a given power of the expansion parameter that grows with the orbital an

Background: An important role has been suggested for tissue-specific glucocorticoid metabolism in the development of obesity and its complications. 11ß hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11ßHSD1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of biologically inactive cortisone to active cortisol, thereby regulating its access to glucocorticoid receptors in target tissues. Indeed, an unfavorable metabolic outcome has been associated with increased 11ßHSD1 gene expression and activity in adipose tissue and liver in humans and rodents.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION Since 2008, 43 renal transplants have been performed from HIV positive deceased donors to HIV positive recipients with renal failure predominantly due to HIV-associated Nephropathy (HIVAN). Recipients received Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) induction therapy and maintenance immunosuppression. Despite transplantation across Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) mismatches, there were few rejection events in the first year post-transplant (PT). Recipient CD4 counts did not decrease and HIV viral load also remained undetectable at one year PT. To gain insight into immune homeostatic mechanis

Abstract:

The work presented in this thesis explores the potential of multiple breath nitrogen washout (MBNW) and forced oscillation technique (FOT) indices for early detection of peripheral airway dysfunction after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). These tests have been shown to be sensitive to peripheral airways involvement in a number of respiratory diseases including asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and cystic fibrosis (CF), but are currently underutilised in the allo-HSCT setting. We first investigated the effect of normal ageing on peripheral airw

Abstract:

A theoretical model of stress and athletic injury is presented. The purpose of the dissertation is to propose a comprehensive framework of the stress-injury relationship that includes cognitive, physiological, attentional, behavioral, intrapersonal, social, and stress history variables. Development of the model grew from a synthesis of the stress-illness, stress-accident, and stress-injury literatures. The model and its resulting hypotheses offer a framework for many avenues of research into the nature of injury and reduction of injury risk. Other advantages of the model are that it addresses

Abstract:

Previous studies have suggested that sympathetic sprouting in the periphery may contribute to the development and persistence of sympathetically-maintained pain in animal models of neuropathic pain. The purpose of this thesis was to examine morphological changes in the cutaneous innervation in rats after chronic constriction injury (CCI) to the sciatic nerve. More specifically, this study addresses the question of whether sympathetic fibres sprout de novo into the upper dermis of the rat hindpaw skin after CCI of the sciatic nerve. We also determined changes in peptidergic sensory innervation

Abstract:

The thesis uses Taiwan as a case study to examine the following argument: both the changes to the capitalist world-system and the political dynamics of domestic statecapital- labour relations determine national capitalist development and ascent trajectory. Taiwan was chosen as a case study because it demonstrates the particular developmental trajectory of semi-peripheral ascent (ascent from the semi-periphery) and of a rising East Asian economy. I study the case by firstly analysing Taiwan’s peripheral ascent (from the periphery to the semi-periphery) in the historical process. Secondly the th

Abstract:

Objectives This thesis aimed to explore psychological factors associated with walking behaviour in patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease, within the framework of Leventhal et al’s (1998) Common-sense Model of Self-regulation of Health and Illness. The objective was to identify psychological factors which could be modified to increase walking behaviour in these patients. Method A series of three studies were conducted to achieve these aims. The first study was an exploratory qualitative study, to explore the illness and treatment beliefs and walking behaviour of patients with intermittent c
