An Investigation of the Working and Hardness of the SMARTPREP Instruments and their Endpoint in Caries-Affected Dentin
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2005)In an effort to only remove the carious dentin, without harming any of the healthy dentin, SS White designed the SMARTPREP instrument. According to SS White, the SMARTPREP instruments should be able to remove infected ... -
Evolutionary Factors Contributing to Genetic Differentiation between Subpopulations of Raphanus Raphanistrum
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2005)The plant species Raphanus raphanistrwn, wild radish, has been found growing in nearly every continent in the world, with the different populations having a large amount of phenotypic variation from each other. A previous ... -
Comparison of Rat a-GST ELISA to Rat a-GST Activity Assay for Use in High Throughput Toxicity Screening
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2005-04-29)In this investigation, four compounds were chosen to test an assay that would be easier and less expensive to run. Although this experiment was set up to compare results of the Rat a-GST ELISA and the GST Activity lines, ... -
Investigation of Small Sized Oral Keratinocytes and their Role in Fabricating Longer Lived EVPOME Grafts for Use as Devices in Gene Therapy
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2005-04-29)In previous years split-thickness skin grafts have been used to cover open wounds in the oral cavity. These grafts display disadvantages such as hair growth in intraoral use. Oral mucosa is an ideal graft, but is limited ... -
Protective Effects of Grape Seed Proanthocyanidin Extract IH636 against Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury in HL-1 Cardiomyocytes
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2005)One of the major contributors to myocardial cell injury is the increase in ROS as a result of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) (Vanden Hoek et a/., 1996, 1997). Ischemia refers to a lack of oxygen and metabolic substrates (i.e. ... -
Training Resources for Medical Language Interpreters and Genetic Counselors
(Kalamazoo College, 2005-04-29)Research has shown that training greatly reduces the number of mistakes made by language interpreters in a medical situation. This study looks at the hiring and training offered at interpreter service agencies serving ... -
Expression of Mutant Epitope-Tagged TACE Constructs in TACE Knockout Fibroblasts and the Importance of TACE Cytoplasmic Domain in PKC-Mediated Phosphorylation
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2005)Alzheimer's disease (AD) is its most common form of dementia affecting the elderly population. It is speculated that one of the essential upstream mediators of AD is the accumulation of amyloid beta (Aβ)-containing plaques ... -
Depression of a Coccinellid Functional Response to an Aphid by Sequestered Plant Chemical Defenses
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2005-04-29)Blaauw investigated whether A. nerii feeding from constantly high aphid densities on Asclepias curassavica milkweed with high concentrations of cardenolides are better defended against coccinellid predator foraging than a ... -
Detection of Toxicity with an Application of a Phosphorescent Oxygen Probe, Luxcel A65N, for an Assay System Screening Cellular Respiration
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2005-04-29)Due to the changing paradigm of drug testing, from in vivo to in vitro testing, new methods and assays are being investigated and developed to make more accurate and sensitive assays. When developing new assays, an important ... -
Construction and Characterization of Helicobacter pylori tRNA-guanine transglycosylase (TGT) in pET28a His-tagged vector
(Kalamazoo, Mich. : Kalamazoo College., 2005-04-29)Helicobacter pylorus is a gram-negative, microaerophilic, spiral-shaped bacterium that colonizes the human stomach and infects more than 50% of the human population. Given the high number of clinical cases this bacterium ...
