CCL11 as a Biomarker for the In Vivo Diagnosis of Chronic Traumatic EncephalopathyWeissenfels, Robert 01 January 2018 (has links)
Chronic traumatic encephalopathy is the neurodegenerative disease that is ascribed to the long term development of cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and motor deficits as a result of the exposure to high amounts of sub concussive traumatic brain injuries. The disease has gained recent popularity in the media for its prevalence in American football as a response to recent research that has suggested the prominence of the disease in nearly every NFL player that is examined post mortem. This has produced a growing concern for the consequences of head impact and participation in contact sports. Despite media attention, little is currently known about the specific causes of the disease and an in life diagnosis is still nonexistent. The present study proposes that the chemokine, CCL11, could prove to be a viable biomarker for recognizing the onset and progression of chronic traumatic encephalopathy. The results of our study suggest that football players who are clinically suspicious of CTE show significantly higher levels of CCL11 in their cerebrospinal fluid than do sedentary controls and noncontact athletes. Our results demonstrate that this increase in CCL11 is correlated with the number of years that a football player had participated in. We also suggest that this increase in CCL11 is associated with a unique immune response through results showing that the CCL11 expression increase is correlated with an increase in the expression of the cytokine IL-4 and substantial decrease in IFN-gamma. The analysis of CCL11 expression levels in the cerebrospinal fluid may prove to be a viable method of diagnosing and providing treatment for patients who may be at risk of chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

Effects of alpha-methyldopa on the sympathetic nervous system activity in health participantsKruger, Mariska January 2013 (has links)
Methyldopa (L-alpha-Methyl-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) is a catecholamine used
as an antihypertensive agent.1 Alpha-Methyldopa is not used as frequently
anymore due to side effects, but it is still used especially in developing countries
due to its low cost. Indications are mostly for the management of pregnancyinduced
hypertension (PIH), as it is relatively safe in pregnancy compared to other
antihypertensive drugs. This project is intended to increase the already-existing
knowledge base of the mechanism of pharmacological action and to stimulate
further investigation through research.
The sympathetic nervous system is a division of the autonomic nervous system
and it is responsible for the “flight-or-fight” response. It is involuntary and constantly
active to maintain homeostasis in the human body. Sympathetic responses include
an increase in heart rate, blood pressure and cardiac output, dilation of pupils and
bronchioles, constriction of blood vessels, contraction of sphincters and inhibition
of gut motility and secretions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the activity of the sympathetic nervous
system of volunteers by three different techniques (QT interval and Heart rate
variability and Skin conductance) after a week of a bi-daily dosage of alphamethyldopa.
All volunteers received either 250mg alpha-methyldopa orally or a placebo tablet in
a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study design. The correlation
between the following techniques was also evaluated: Skin conductance as
measured by the ProComp Infiniti Biofeedback apparatus, QT interval on ECG and
HRV measured with Viport apparatus. A salivary sample was collected to evaluate
the effect of alpha-methyldopa on salivary cortisol using an ELISA kit for analysis. / Dissertation (MSc)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / gm2014 / Pharmacology / unrestricted
