  • The History of Military Toxicology
    HISTORICAL ARTICLE THE HISTORY OF MILITARY TOXICOLOGY Jiří Bajgar, Josef Fusek Military Medical Academy, Hradec Králové; (Rector: doc. MUDr. S. Bùma, CSc.) However, the name of the Department as well as the term ãmilitary“ were excluded from the title. The Institute was designated as the Medical Research Institute for foreign journals only. On the other hand, in the Czech journals which were freely circulated abroad, the word ãmilitary“ was present as well as other specifications such as military rank. At this time, the Department was equipped with tech- niques on very sophisticated basis, e.g. fluorimeter Farrand, Auto Analyzer Technicon, ultracentrifuge MSE etc. The staff of the Department was also on high level able to cover the research of toxic substances from synthesis and analy- sis (Ing. F. Ornst, CSc.) later on through toxicity testing COL Assoc. Prof. J. Bajgar, (1944) COL Prof. J. Fusek (1945) (MUDr. M. Krejcar, CSc.; MUDr. V.

Doxycycline treatment caused the rapid disappear- ance of human NF-L (hNF-L) mRNA in tTA;hNF-L mice, but the hNF-L proteins remained with a half-life of 3 weeks in the brain. In the sciatic nerve, the disappearance of hNF-L proteins after doxycycline treatment occurred in synchrony along the sciatic nerve, suggesting a proteolysis of NF proteins along the entire axon. The presence of permanent NF network in tTA;hNF-L;NF-L ϩ/Ϫ mice further stabilized and extended longevity of hNF-L proteins by several months. Surprisingly, after cessation of doxycycline treatment, there was no evidence of leading front of newly synthesized hNF-L proteins migrating into sciatic nerve axons devoid of NF structures.

The toxicoki- netic properties of compounds can form valuable information in human risk assessment. In vivo as well as in vitro , biological targets are exposed to concentrations of the compounds or their metabolites. Concentrations and their time course, mostly determined in blood or plasma, provide the most direct link between the observed or predicted in vivo effects and the effects observed in vitro . Accurate quantitative knowledge of the in vivo concentra- tion-time relationship is therefore a prerequisite for the correct interpretation of in vitro toxicity testing results. Classical compartmental modelling parameters were chosen to de- scribe the in vivo kinetic properties as they fulfil the needs for prediction of in vivo con- centration time profiles under linear conditions.

  • Mathematical Models of Pattern Formation in Cell Biology
    MATHEMATICAL MODELS OF PATTERN FORMATION IN CELL BIOLOGY DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University by Xige Yang, B.S, Mathematics Graduate Program in Mathematics The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Chuan Xue, Advisor Dr. Avner Friedman Dr. Janet Best ©Copyright by Xige Yang 2018 ABSTRACT This thesis provides a study of mathematical models about pattern formation phenomena in cell biology. Chapter2 introduces necessary background on mathematical methods of develop- ing and analyzing mathematical models at the cellular and molecular scales. I then considered two detailed cases related to pattern formation in cell biology, chemotaxis of bacterial popu- lations which generates wave-like patterns, and axonal cytoskeleton segregation which exhibits peak-valley patterns. In Chapter3, we derived a PDE model for E. coli chemotaxis that incorpo- rates detailed intracellular signaling. Unlike previous PDE models, the new model can approxi- mate the population dynamics accurately even if the external signal changes rapidly. In Chapter 4, we developed and analyzed a nonlocal PDE model for the polymer segregation phenomena. Reaction-diffusion equations have been widely used to describe biological pattern formation. In Chapter5, we developed numerical methods for computing multiple steady-state patterns of reaction-diffusion models. For that we combined homotopy tracking method in numerical alge- braic geometry and multigrid method, and as an example, we computed multiple patterns for the Gray-Scott model. ii VITA 1992 .
