I am truly grateful for the opportunity to work in this field of study, which I have been passionate about since I was in high school. I also want to thank Professor Cláudia for all the guidance and encouragement and for all the trust put into my work and my ideas. Second, I owe a big thank you to Irina Simões, who guided me since the beginning, taught me everything I needed to know about this project and was always accessible to help me even at thousands of kilometres away in Zurich. I could not have achieved the results I present here without her knowledge and direction, and I could not have been attributed a better mentor. Third, I want to thank my colleagues at the SCBL-RM laboratory, who were always available to help me and give me guidance when I needed: Ana Fernandes, Márcia Mata, Francisco Moreira, Diogo Pinto, Raquel Cunha, Marta Costa, João Silva, Cláudia Miranda, Tiago Dias and Carlos Rodrigues. You all had an important part in the development of this project and of my laboratory skills. I want to give a warm thank you to Alexandra Salvado, Ângela Neves and Mafalda Cavalheiro for being my partners in this journey, and for all the support and laughter that we shared over the last two years. Without you, group assignments would have been extremely dull and definitely not as productive as they were. Last but definitely not least, I want to thank my family, especially the three most important gentlemen in my life: my boyfriend/best friend, my brother, and my father. Rui, you are my rock: you were there for me through the toughest times, holding me together and giving me a reason to fight for. My dear Mano, I want to thank you for all the wise words, support and guidance, especially over the last 6 months, and for encouraging me to always do my best. Dad, thank you for telling me how proud of me you were; those words are what keep me going in the hardest moments. I hope I keep making you proud. I deeply miss you. v vi Abstract Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a medical condition that requires novel alternative therapies aiming to restore and maintain the integrity and function of the urethral sphincter, the muscle layer responsible for the normal continence mechanism. This MSc project targeted the establishment of effective myogenic differentiation protocols for Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells (MSCs) for urethral sphincter engineering, with particular focus on exploring the myogenic potential of the Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) of the adipose tissue. The ability of MSCs to differentiate into smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and skeletal myofibers, the main constituents of the sphincter, has already been demonstrated in few in vivo and in vitro studies, but with little translation of this knowledge into clinical settings. The effects of 5-aza-2’-deoxycytidine (5-AZAd) and PD98059, chemical inducers of skeletal muscle and smooth muscle differentiation in MSCs, respectively, were tested herein. MSC differentiation into both cell types was evaluated by the detection of smooth and skeletal muscle lineage-specific markers by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence techniques at different timepoints in early cell passages (P<3). The expression of skeletal muscle markers was assessed in magnetically sorted and unsorted SVF cells coated on distinct substrates. Myogenesis-committed cells were identified in uncultured SVF, but no myoblast-like cells were isolated. Still, SVF-derived cells were shown to possess intrinsic myogenic potential that was enhanced when combined with culture substrates (in particular, gelatin coating), thus holding great potential for skeletal muscle engineering applications. Conversely, 5-AZAd supplementation failed to induce myogenesis and triggered severe cytotoxic effects, while PD98059 did not provide enough stimuli to sustain smooth muscle differentiation, which likely requires the use of 3-D culture conditions and/or biomechanical stimulation. Keywords Stress Urinary Incontinence Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells Stromal Vascular Fraction Myogenic Differentiation Smooth Muscle Cells Skeletal muscle Cells vii viii Resumo A incontinência urinária de esforço é uma condição que requer novas terapias que visem restaurar e manter a integridade e função do esfíncter uretral, a camada de músculo responsável pelo mecanismo de continência normal. Este Projeto de Mestrado teve como objectivo o desenvolvimento de protocolos que permitam a diferenciação eficaz de células estaminais/estromais mesenquimais (ou mesenquimatosas) - CEMs - em linhagens miogénicas para reconstituição do esfíncter uretral, com especial foco no estudo do potencial miogénico da fracção vascular estromal (FVE) do tecido adiposo. Neste sentido, foi testado o efeito dos compostos 5-aza-2’-desoxicitidina (5-AZAd) e PD98059, indutores químicos de diferenciação em músculo esquelético e liso, respectivamente, em CEMs. A diferenciação de CEMs em ambos os tipos de músculo foi avaliada através da detecção de marcadores específicos de cada linhagem, por técnicas de citometria de fluxo e imunofluorescência em tempos de cultura distintos e em passagens celulares baixas (P<3). A expressão de marcadores de músculo esquelético foi avaliada também em células da FVE minimamente processada e isoladas magneticamente, plaqueadas sob superfícies revestidas com componentes da matriz extracelular (gelatina e fibronectina). Foram detectadas células miogénicas na FVE minimamente processada, no entanto não foram isoladas células com morfologia mioblástica. Ainda assim, foi mostrado que as células obtidas a partir da FVE são dotadas de um potencial miogénico intrínseco, reforçado na presença de substratos, sendo potencialmente exequível a aplicação destas células em estratégias de reconstituição de músculo esquelético. Por outro lado, a adição de 5-AZAd não levou à indução de miogénese e conduziu a efeitos citotóxicos, enquanto que a adição de PD98059 não foi suficiente para sustentar a diferenciação de CEMs em músculo liso, que provavelmente requer a implementação de condições de cultura em 3-D e/ou estimulação biomecânica.

  • Energy and Training Module ITU Competitive Coach
    37 energy and training module ITU Competitive Coach Produced by the International Triathlon Union, 2007 38 39 energy & training Have you ever wondered why some athletes shoot off the start line while others take a moment to react? Have you every experienced a “burning” sensation in your muscles on the bike? Have athletes ever claimed they could ‘keep going forever!’? All of these situations involve the use of energy in the body. Any activity the body performs requires work and work requires energy. A molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the “energy currency” of the body. ATP powers most cellular processes that require energy including muscle contraction required for sport performance. Where does ATP come from and how is it used? ATP is produced by the breakdown of fuel molecules—carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. During physical activity, three different processes work to split ATP molecules, which release energy for muscles to use in contraction, force production, and ultimately sport performance. These processes, or “energy systems”, act as pathways for the production of energy in sport. The intensity and duration of physical activity determines which pathway acts as the dominant fuel source. Immediate energy system Fuel sources ATP Sport E.g. carbohydrates, energy performance proteins, fats “currency” Short term energy system E.g. swimming, cycling, running, transitions Long term energy system During what parts of a triathlon might athletes use powerful, short, bursts of speed? 1 2 What duration, intensity, and type of activities in a triathlon cause muscles to “burn”? When in a triathlon do athletes have to perform an action repeatedly for longer than 10 or 15 3 minutes at a moderate pace? 40 energy systems Long Term (Aerobic) System The long term system produces energy through aerobic (with oxygen) pathways.

Marras * Biodynamics Laboratory, Room 210, 210 Baker Systems, 1971 Neil Avenue, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210, USA Received 15 June 2000; accepted 16 June 2000 Abstract Objective. To review the literature that evaluates the in¯uence of trunk motion on trunk strength and structural loading. Background. In recent years, trunk dynamics have been identi®ed as potential risk factors for developing low-back disorders. Consequently, a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms involved in trunk motion is needed. Methods. This review summarizes the results of 53 studies that have evaluated trunk motion and its impact on several biome- chanical outcome measures. The biomechanical measures consisted of trunk strength, intra-abdominal pressure, muscle activity, imposed trunk moments, and spinal loads. Each of these biomechanical measures was discussed in relation to the existing knowledge within each plane of motion (extension, ¯exion, lateral ¯exion, twisting, and asymmetric extension). Results. Trunk strength was drastically reduced as dynamic motion increased, and males were impacted more than females. Intra- abdominal pressure seemed to only be aected by trunk dynamics at high levels of force. Trunk moments were found to increase monotonically with increased trunk motion. Both agonistic and antagonistic muscle activities were greater as dynamic character- istics increased. As a result, the three-dimensional spinal loads increase signi®cantly for dynamic exertions as compared to isometric conditions. Conclusions. Trunk motion has a dramatic aect on the muscle coactivity, which seems to be the underlying source for the decrease strength capability as well as the increased muscle force, IAP, and spinal loads.

ABSTRACT Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disorder caused by loss of the protein dystrophin. In humans, DMD has early onset, causes developmental delays, muscle necrosis, loss of ambulation, and early death. Current animal models have been challenged by their inability to model the early onset and severity of the disease. Thus it remains unresolved if increased sarcoplasmic calcium observed in dystrophic muscles follows or leads the mechanical insults caused by the muscle’s disrupted contractile machinery. This knowledge has important applications for patients, as potential physiotherapeutic treatments may either help or exacerbate symptoms, depending on how dystrophic muscles differ from healthy ones. Recently we showed how burrowing dystrophic (dys-1) C. elegans recapitulate many salient phenotypes of DMD, including loss of mobility and muscle necrosis. Here we report dys-1 worms display early pathogenesis, including dysregulated sarcoplasmic calcium, and increased lethality. Sarcoplasmic calcium dysregulation in dys-1 worms precedes overt structural phenotypes (e.g. mitochondrial, and contractile machinery damage) and can be mitigated by silencing calmodulin expression.

  • Arxiv:2012.04526V1 [Quant-Ph] 8 Dec 2020 It Is Necessary for the Hamiltonian to Be Invariant Under the Parity and T Ime Transformation Which Is Called PT - Symmetry
    Two dimensional non-Hermitian harmonic oscillator: coherent states Masoumeh Izadparast1, ∗ and S. Habib Mazharimousavi1, y 1Department of Physics, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Eastern Mediterranean University, Famagusta, North Cyprus via Mersin 10, Turkey (Dated: December 9, 2020) In this study, we introduce a two dimensional complex harmonic oscillator potential with space and time reflection symmetries. The corresponding time independent Schr¨odingerequation yields real eigenvalues with complex eigenfunctions. We also construct the coherent state of the system by using a superposition of 12 eigenfunctions. Using the complex correspondence principle for the probability density we investigate the possible modifications in the probability densities due to the non-Hermitian aspect of the Hamiltonian. PACS numbers: I. INTRODUCTION ^ P^2 In quantum mechanics the Hamiltonian operator, H = 2m + V (^x) ; represents the energy of a quantum system. Imposing the energy of the physical system to be real, for a long time, made Hermiticity a necessary property for the Hamiltonian operator H^ . In 1998, Bender and Boettcher introduced the concept of non-Hermitian Hamiltonian with parity and time symmetries which admits real energy spectra [1]. This achievement has brought a new domain of physical complex operators into the quantum mechanics which extends its boundaries both theoretically [2] and experimentally [3]. Non-Hermitian Hamiltonian: Fundamental cornerstones in quantum theory are build on i) the reality of the physical quantities such as energy, ii) the conservation of the probability density. The latter implies the unitary of time evolution of a quantum system. A quantum mechanical model is preserved as long as these principles are satisfied. Here in non-Hermitian version of quantum mechanics, the Hermiticity is replaced by a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian with the similar property i.e., pre- serving the reality of the physical quantities including the energy spectrum.
