These faculty members’ enthusiasm for scientific discovery and commitment to teaching is vital for a successful training program. It is these dedicated scientists who organize the research projects to be conducted by the students. The trainee’s role in the laboratory is to participate to the fullest extent of her/his ability in the research project being performed. This involves carrying out the technical aspects of experimental analysis, interpreting data and summarizing results. The results are presented as an abstract and are written in the trainees’ own words that convey an impressive degree of understanding of the complex projects in which they were involved. To date, more than 1,900 medical, college, and international medical students have gained research experience through the UTMSH Summer Research Program. Past trainees have advanced to pursue research careers in the biomedical sciences, as well as gain an appreciation of the relationship between basic and clinical research and clinical practice. UTMSH student research training is supported by a grant from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and/or by financial support from the Dean and the departments and faculty of the medical school and School of Dentistry. Biomedical science education remains a vital and integral part of our nation’s interests. The UTMSH Summer Research Program, and the dedication of our faculty and administration exemplify the institution’s commitment to training and educating the future leaders in our biomedical scientific communities. Gary C. Rosenfeld, Ph.D. Director, Summer Research Program Associate Dean for Educational Programs 5 This page left blank 6 Acknowledgements This publication marks the completion of the twenty-sixth year of The University of Texas Medical School at Houston’s (UTMSH) Summer Research Program. The longevity and success of the program are rooted in the overwhelming support received from the deans, faculty, staff and students of the medical school. Indicative of this support is the administrative assistance and financial support for the Program’s college and medical students provided by UTMSH. Sincere appreciation is expressed to Dean Giuseppe Colasurdo M.D. and Patricia M. Butler, M.D., Vice Dean, Office of Educational Programs who continue to ensure the yearly success of the Summer Research Program. Major financial assistance for medical students has also been provided through a short term research grant by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK; 5 T32 DK007676). Negotiated cooperative agreements with several international medical schools have been set up to offer tailored research programs at UTMSH for selected foreign medical students who interact fully with the other students in the Summer Research Program. The success of the Summer Research Program depends primarily on the faculty who volunteer to mentor the trainees. These dedicated educators organize and guide the research projects that includes for each student data analysis, preparation of an abstract and public presentation of results. Our sincere appreciation to all faculty mentors. 7 This page left blank 8 Lab Research Ownership Publication and/or Disclosure Each student participating in this program is required to read, agree to, and sign this disclosure form.

There is currently no consistent indicator of this risk. Fractures in T2D patients with non-osteoporotic bone density levels have led to discussions about investigating markers of bone turnover, e.g., osteocalcin, as an indicator of the fracture risk in the diabetic population. Osteocalcin is an osteoblast-specific secreted protein that is a marker of bone turnover and formation. Previous studies have shown osteocalcin levels to be decreased in T2D patients compared to non-diabetics. The hypothesis was that mean total osteocalcin levels in the fracture patients with T2D would be significantly lower than those without diabetes. The project involved a cross-sectional study of Memorial Hermann trauma patients who were at least 50 years of age and suffered a femoral, acetabular, or vertebral fracture between March 2012 and May 2015. Patients were grouped into diabetic and non-diabetic groups based on a positive diabetes diagnosis in their medical

  • Rope Parasite” the Rope Parasite Parasites: Nearly Every AuSC Child I Ever Treated Proved to Carry a Significant Parasite Burden
    Au#sm: 2015 Dietrich Klinghardt MD, PhD Infec4ons and Infestaons Chronic Infecons, Infesta#ons and ASD Infec4ons affect us in 3 ways: 1. Immune reac,on against the microbes or their metabolic products Treatment: low dose immunotherapy (LDI, LDA, EPD) 2. Effects of their secreted endo- and exotoxins and metabolic waste Treatment: colon hydrotherapy, sauna, intes4nal binders (Enterosgel, MicroSilica, chlorella, zeolite), detoxificaon with herbs and medical drugs, ac4vaon of detox pathways by solving underlying blocKages (methylaon, etc.) 3. Compe,,on for our micronutrients Treatment: decrease microbial load, consider vitamin/mineral protocol Lyme, Toxins and Epigene#cs • In 2000 I examined 10 au4s4c children with no Known history of Lyme disease (age 3-10), with the IgeneX Western Blot test – aer successful treatment. 5 children were IgM posi4ve, 3 children IgG, 2 children were negave. That is 80% of the children had clinical Lyme disease, none the history of a 4cK bite! • Why is it taking so long for au4sm-literate prac44oners to embrace the fact, that many au4s4c children have contracted Lyme or several co-infec4ons in the womb from an oVen asymptomac mother? Why not become Lyme literate also? • Infec4ons can be treated without the use of an4bio4cs, using liposomal ozonated essen4al oils, herbs, ozone, Rife devices, PEMF, colloidal silver, regular s.c injecons of artesunate, the Klinghardt co-infec4on cocKtail and more. • Symptomac infec4ons and infestaons are almost always the result of a high body burden of glyphosate, mercury and aluminum - against the bacKdrop of epigene4c injuries (epimutaons) suffered in the womb or from our ancestors( trauma, vaccine adjuvants, worK place related lead, aluminum, herbicides etc., electromagne4c radiaon exposures etc.) • Most symptoms are caused by a confused upregulated immune system (molecular mimicry) Toxins from a toxic environment enter our system through damaged boundaries and membranes (gut barrier, blood brain barrier, damaged endothelium, etc.).

    Sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction: Pathophysiology and experimental treatments A thesis presented by Dr Jianmin Chen registered at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry Queen Mary University of London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Translational Medicine & Therapeutics, The William Harvey Research Institute John Vane Science Centre, Charterhouse Square, London EC1M 6BQ, United Kingdom | ABSTRACT The severity of cardiac dysfunction predicts mortality in septic patients. In this thesis, I have investigated the pathophysiology and the novel therapeutic strategy to attenuate cardiac dysfunction in experimental sepsis. I have developed a model of cardiac dysfunction caused by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/peptidoglycan (PepG) co-administration or polymicrobial sepsis in young and old, male and female mice. There is good evidence that females tolerate sepsis better than males. Here, I have demonstrated for the first time that the cardiac dysfunction caused by sepsis was less pronounced in female than in male mice; this protection was associated with cardiac activation of a pro-survival pathway [Akt and endothelial nitric oxide synthase], and the decreased activation of a pro-inflammatory signalling pathway [nuclear factor (NF)-κB]. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) requiring dialysis have a higher risk of sepsis and a 100-fold higher mortality. Activation of NF-κB is associated with sepsis- induced cardiac dysfunction and NF-κB is activated by IκB kinase (IKK). Here, I have shown that 5/6th nephrectomy for 8 weeks caused a small, but significant, cardiomyopathy, cardiac activation of NF-κB and expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). When subjected to LPS or polymicrobial sepsis, CKD mice exhibited exacerbation of cardiac dysfunction and cardiac activation of NF-κB and iNOS expression, which were attenuated by a specific IKK inhibitor (IKK 16).
