The HIV/AIDS pandemic remains an important threat to human health. We have recently demonstrated that a novel microRNA (miR), miR-128, represses retrotransposon long interspaced element 1 (L1) by dual mechanism, namely, directly targeting the coding region of L1 RNA and repressing required nuclear import factor (TNPO1). further determined miR-128 expression all three TNPO proteins (transportins TNPO1, TNPO2, TNPO3). Here, we establish also influences HIV-1 replication TNPO3, regulates viral;...
Medical students experience rising rates of burnout throughout their training. Efforts have been made to not only mitigate its negative effects, but also prevent development. improv takes the basic ideas improvisational theatre and applies them clinical situations. Given improv's focus on self-awareness reflection, in addition spontaneous nature, we hypothesized it had potential serve as a creative outlet, way and/or effects stress, burnout, fatigue, provide learning environment develop...
During the process of islet isolation, pancreatic enzymes are activated and released, adversely affecting survival function. We hypothesize that exocrine component pancreases harvested from pre-weaned juvenile pigs is immature hence tissue these donors protected injury during isolation prolonged culture.Biopsy specimens taken neonatal (5-10 days), (18-22 weaned (45-60 young adult (>90 days) were fixed stained with hematoxylin eosin. Sections examined under a fluorescent microscope to...

Accurately identifying metastatic disease is critical to directing the appropriate treatment in pancreatic cancer. Mucin 5AC overexpressed cancer but absent normal pancreas tissue. The present proof-of-concept study demonstrates efficacy of an anti-mucin antibody conjugated IR800 dye (MUC5AC-IR800) preferentially label a liver metastasis (Panc Met) unique patient-derived orthotopic xenograft (PDOX) model. In models, mean tumor background ratio was 1.787 (SD ± 0.336), and immunohistochemistry...
Background: Student-run free clinics (SRFC) provide comprehensive primary care for uninsured populations throughout the country. However, imaging remains a barrier to underserved communities that experience inequitable access healthcare. In this study, we describe establishment of radiology specialty clinic (RSC) served as an in-house ultrasound service at our institution's SRFC.
 Methods: Between September 2019 and March 2020, patients were scheduled site, studies performed read by...
