An examination of the population dynamics of syngnathid fishes within Tampa Bay,Florida,USA

Current Zoology 2010年第1期56卷 118-133页

作者： heather d.masonjones Emily ROSE Lori Benson McRAE danielle L.dIXSON Biology department University of Tampa Biology department Texas A & M University School of Marine and Tropical Biology James Cook University

Seagrass ecosystems worldwide have been declining, leading to a decrease in associated fish populations, especially those with low mobility such as syngnathids （pipefish and seahorses）. This two-year pilot study investigated seasonal patterns in density, growth, site fidelity, and population dynamics of Tampa Bay （FL） syngnathid fishes at a site adjacent to two marinas under construction. Using a modified mark-recapture technique, fish were collected periodically from three closely located sites that varied in seagrass species （Thalassia spp., Syringodium spp., and mixed-grass sites） and their distance from open water, but had consistent physical/chemical environmental characteristics. Fish were marked, photographed for body size and gender measurements, and released the same day at the capture site. Of the 5695 individuals surveyed, 49 individuals were recaptured, indicating a large, flexible population. Population density peaks were observed in July of both years, with low densities in late winter and late summer. Spatially, syngnathid densities were highest closest to the mouth of the bay and lowest near the shoreline. Seven species of syngnathid fishes were observed, and species-specific patterns of seagrass use emerged during the study. However, only two species, Syngnathus scovelli and Hippoeampus zosterae, were observed at high frequencies. For these two species, body size decreased across the study period, but while S. scovelli＇s population density decreased, H. zosterae＇s increased. Across six of the seven species, population size declined over the course of this preliminary study; however, seasonal shifts were impossible to distinguish from potential anthropogenic effects of construction [Current Zoology 56 （1）： 118-133, 2010].

Scattering and diffraction of plane P-waves in a 2-d elastic half-space Ⅱ：shallow arbitrary shaped canyon

引用

Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Vibration 2017年第3期16卷 459-485页

作者： heather P.Brandow Vincent Lee Civil and Environmental Engineering University of Southern California Los Angeles 90089 United States

Scattering and diffraction of elastic in-plane P-and SV-waves by a surface topography such as an elastic canyon at the surface of a half-space is a classical problem which has been studied by earthquake engineers and strong-motion seismologists for over forty years. The case of out-of-plane SH waves on the same elastic canyon that is semi-circular in shape on the half-space surface is the first such problem that was solved by analytic closed form solutions over forty years ago by Trifunac. The corresponding case of in-plane P-and SV-waves on the same circular canyon is a much more complicated problem because, the in-plane P-and SV-scattered waves have different wave speeds and together they must have zero normal and shear stresses at the half-space surface. It is not until recently in 2014 that analytic solution for such problem is found by the author in the work of Lee and Liu. This paper uses the technique of Lee and Liu of defining these stress-free scattered waves to solve the problem of the scattered and diffraction of these in-plane waves on an almost-circular surface canyon that is arbitrary in shape.

Virus-Induced Gene Silencing in the Culinary Ginger （Zingiber officinale）： An Effective Mechanism for down-Regulating Gene Expression in Tropical Monocots

引用

Molecular Plant 2009年第5期2卷 1084-1094页

Virus-induced gene silencing （VIGS） has been shown to be effective for transient knockdown of gene expression in plants to analyze the effects of specific genes in development and stress-related responses. VlGS is well established for studies of model systems and crops within the Solanaceae, Brassicaceae, Leguminaceae, and Poaceae, but only recently has been applied to plants residing outside these families. Here, we have demonstrated that barley stripe mosaic virus （BSMV） can infect two species within the Zingiberaceae, and that BSMV-VIGS can be applied to specifically down-regulate phytoene desaturase in the culinary ginger Zingiber officinale. These results suggest that extension of BSMV-VlGS to monocots other than cereals has the potential for directed genetic analyses of many important temperate and tropical crop species.

Porphyria cutanea tarda as a complication of therapy for chronic hepatitis C

World Journal of Gastroenterology 2008年第38期14卷 5913-5915页

作者： James Azim heather McCurdy Richard H Moseley division of Gastroenterology department of Internal Medicine department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center and University of Michigan School of Medicine Ann ArborMichigan United States

There is a strong association between porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) and chronic viral hepatitis C. Therapy for chronic viral hepatitis C may improve PCT. However, there are only a few reports of the de novo development of PCT during therapy for chronic viral hepatitis C. We describe the development of PCT in a 56-year-old patient with chronic viral hepatitis C after 12 wk of peginterferon/ribavirin therapy. In addition, the patient was homozygous for the H63d hereditary hemochromatosis gene (HFE ) mutation. The association of PCT with chronic viral hepatitis C and the possible role of hepatic iron overload and ribavirin-induced hemolytic anemia in the development of PCT during therapy for chronic viral hepatitis C are discussed.

Clinical trial perspective for adult and juvenile Huntington's disease using genetically-engineered mesenchymal stem cells

引用

Neural Regeneration Research 2016年第5期11卷 702-705页

作者： Peter deng Audrey Torrest Kari Pollock heather dahlenburg Geralyn Annett Jan A.Nolta Kyle d.Fink Stem Cell Program and Institute for Regenerative Cures University of California Davis Health System

Progress to date from our group and others indicate that using genetically-engineered mesenchymal stem cells（MSC） to secrete brain-derived neurotrophic factor（BdNF） supports our plan to submit an Investigational New drug application to the Food and drug Administration for the future planned Phase 1 safety and tolerability trial of MSC/BdNF in patients with Huntington＇s disease（Hd）. There are also potential applications of this approach beyond Hd. Our biological delivery system for BdNF sets the precedent for adult stem cell therapy in the brain and could potentially be modified for other neurodegenerative disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis（ALS）, spinocerebellar ataxia（SCA）, Alzheimer＇s disease, and some forms of Parkinson＇s disease. The MSC/BdNF product could also be considered for studies of regeneration in traumatic brain injury, spinal cord and peripheral nerve injury. This work also provides a platform for our future gene editing studies, since we will again use MSCs to deliver the needed molecules into the central nervous system.
