Liposomes incorporating porphyrin–phospholipid (PoP) can be formulated to release entrapped contents in response near-infrared (NIR) laser irradiation. Here, we examine effects of chelating copper or zinc into the PoP. Cu(II) and Zn(II) PoP liposomes, containing 10 molar % HPPH-lipid, exhibited unique photophysical properties released cargo NIR light. Cu-PoP liposomes minimal fluorescence reduced production reactive oxygen species upon Zn-PoP retained singlet generation properties; however,...
Motor learning and compensatory movement are important aspects of prosthesis training yet relatively little quantitative evidence supports our current understanding how motor control compensation develop in the novel body-powered user. The goal this study is to assess these through functional, kinematic, kinetic analyses using a within-subject paradigm compared across two time points. joints evaluated include left right shoulders, torso, elbow. Six abled-bodied subjects (age 27 ± 3) bypass...
Current literature lacks a comparative analysis of different motion capture systems for tracking upper limb (UL) movement as individuals perform standard tasks. To better understand the performance various in quantifying UL prosthesis user population, this study compares joint angles derived from three that vary cost and mechanisms: marker-based system (Vicon), an inertial measurement unit (Xsens), markerless (Kinect). Ten healthy participants (5F/5M; 29.6 ± 7.1 years) were trained with...
Background: The CD14 C-159T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) has been investigated widely as a candidate genetic locus in patients with allergic disease. There are conflicting results for the association of SNP total serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels and atopy. limited data regarding subjects African ancestry. aim study was to determine whether other SNPs (C1188G, C1341T) were associated IgE allergy skin test nonatopic atopic subjects; well Caucasian American subjects. Methods: A 291...
To evaluate movement quality of upper limb (UL) prosthesis users, performance-based outcome measures have been developed that examine the normalcy as compared to a person with sound, intact hand. However, broad definition “normal movement” and subjective nature scoring can make it difficult know which areas body evaluate, expected magnitude deviation from normative movement. provide more robust approach characterizing differences, goals this work are identify degrees freedom (DOFs) will...
