▼ Vitamin B12 and folate deficiency is a well-known health problem. Deficiencies of folic acid and vitamin B12 are known to cause megaloblastic anaemia, which is characterised by presence of abnormally large erythrocyte precursor cells, megaloblasts, in the bone marrow and macrocytic red cells in the peripheral blood. These megaloblasts arise because of impaired deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis followed by ineffective erythropoiesis. However, vitamin B12 or folate levels have not been described in Zambia, whether normal levels or in relation to anaemia. The study aimed to determine vitamin B12 and folate levels in megaloblastic anaemia, diagnosed morphologically, in patients at the University Teaching. This was a case control study which was undertaken at the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) in Lusaka, Zambia. Full blood count (FBC), Peripheral smears and ELISA were assessed on blood samples received from megaloblastic anaemia and non-anaemic patients. The age range was between 18 – 54 years (Mean age-31 years). Among the 40 megaloblastic patients, 35% (14/40) were male and 65% (26/40) were female with a male to female ratio of 1:1.9. Full blood count and peripheral smear findings revealed that bicytopenia was present in 22.5% (9/40) and pancytopenia in 72.5% (29/40) patients. Furthermore, the results showed megaloblastic anaemia participants had statistically significant lower median vitamin B12 concentration 175 (150-333)pg/ml than non-anaemic control participants 299.5 (238-571)pg/ml =0.0001. Megaloblastic anaemia participants also had a statistically significant lower folate concentration (12.32± 2.28 ng/ml) than non-anaemic control participants (19.28 ± 2.84 ng/ml) =0.029. Of the megaloblastic anaemia patients, vitamin B12 deficiency was in 60% (24/40), pure folate deficiency in 30% (12/40) and combined deficiency was observed in 15% (6/40) patients. A weak negative correlation was found between vitamin B12 and mean corpuscular volume but statistically significant (r= 0.0278, =0.001). However, there was no statistical significant correlation between folate and mean corpuscular volume (r = 0.098, = 0.326). This study shows that majority of patients with megaloblastic anaemia, diagnosed morphologically, at the University Teaching Hospital have a deficiency of vitamin B12 deficiency.

▼ Since 2000, ophthalmologists providing clinical services in Madang, Papua New Guinea, have become aware of local adult prisoners presenting with gradual vision loss. An informal assessment conducted in Beon Jail in 2007 indicated that at least 40 local inmates had a significant level of visual impairment. This was most commonly associated with atrophy of the optic nerves, a result of optic neuropathy (ON) and suspected to be caused by nutritional deficiency. A more detailed assessment of the prison population including clinical characterization of the ON, comprehensive dietary analysis and assessment of toxic risk factors was necessary to help determine disease aetiology and appropriate treatment for prisoners. In May 2010, a collaborative project between the Fred Hollows Foundation and the University of Otago was made to further investigate the occurrence of ON previously documented in Beon Prison. All adult prisoners detained in Beon Prison (264 persons) were invited to participate in the study. Beon prison guards were also invited to participate on the basis of some shared environmental exposures with prisoners. Consenting participants were individually interviewed regarding demography, general and ocular health, diet and lifestyle. Participants underwent a vision and ocular examination as well as a physical examination performed by a team of trained health workers. A 24-hour dietary recall interview was performed on each participant and a venous blood sample was collected by venipuncture for the analysis of nutrients and other biomarkers. As an additional measure of dietary intake, samples (n=30) of prison rations were weighed and analysed for nutrient content. Finally, prison food samples were analysed for lead and cadmium content. Consent was obtained for 158 prisoners and 17 prison guards. Due to a low female contingent in the prison, only data collected from males was analysed. ON was found to be present in the prisoner population. Of the prisoners examined (n=135), 14 had ‘definite’ or ‘likely’ ON and 30 had ‘possible’ ON. No guards had ‘definite’ or ‘likely’ ON. No cases of peripheral neuropathy were found in participants. The prisoner diet predominantly consisted of rice, canned corned beef, canned tuna, water-crackers, tea and water. The fruit and vegetable consumption of the prisoners was low - 66% reported to never or rarely consume fruit and vegetables whilst in prison. Nutrient intake data generated from the 24 –hour recall suggested that less than 25% of prisoners met the estimated average requirement (EAR) for vitamin A, folate, vitamin C, vitamin E, potassium and calcium. Biochemical assessment indicated that over half of the prisoners fell below the cut-offs values of deficiency for biochemical indicators of vitamin A, folate and vitamin C. An elevated plasma homocysteine concentration was also found in 79% of prisoners. Blood concentrations of α-tocopherol, thiamin, B12 and selenium predominantly fell within normal ranges (<5% below recommended cut-offs).

▼ Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) is a major food legume across Sub- Saharan West Africa where its leaves, pods and seeds are consumed as food and its residues are fed to livestock as protein rich fodder. However, soils of West Africa are poor in phosphorus (P), a soil macro-nutrient all crops need for growth. Fertilizer with P is not readily available and is too expensive for West African farmers. This research was therefore, undertaken to identify cowpea lines that inherently grow well in P-deficient soils and use them to breed improved cowpea varieties that require less phosphorus fertilization. A hydroponic phenotypic screening method with silica sand was used to identify cowpea varieties that have tolerance to low soil P as measured by shoot dry biomass production. Both tolerant and susceptible varieties from the screen were further analyzed for root biomass, internal shoot P content, and internal root P content. Seed P, particularly the effect of cotyledon P, and total root production were investigated as physiological sources of tolerance. Tolerant cowpea varieties were crossed with susceptible varieties, and the resulting F_(1), F_(2) and BC_(1) seeds were screened to determine the inheritance and genetic control of tolerance. A Recombinant Inbred Line (RIL) population of a tolerant by susceptible cross was mapped using SSR markers to identify linkage groups or QTL for tolerance to low soil P. Phenotypic screening results identified four cowpea varieties to have P-deficiency tolerance (Big John, IT97K-1069-6, IT98K-476-8, and TX2028-1-3-1) and three cowpea varieties (Big John, CB-46, and Golden Eye Cream) to have partial P-deficiency tolerance via high seed P content. All varieties experienced increases in root production under low P treatments relative to normal P treatments. Phenotyping of F_(1), F_(2), and BC_(1) populations showed that low P tolerance is a heritable trait in cowpea with significant additive effects and narrow-sense heritability. Estimates of gene number suggested the tolerance to be a single-gene trait. Mapping linkage groups or QTL for low P tolerance identified QTL in which three SSR markers – CLM0269, 221/222, and CLM0298 – were significantly associated with tolerance and are potential candidates for marker-assisted selection (MAS).

▼ Iron deficiency anemia afflicts 1 in 3 individuals, mostly women and children worldwide. A novel application using iron-oxide nanoparticles (IONs) and a photonic crystal (PC) optical biosensor as an immunodiagnostic platform for detection of serum ferritin and soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), biomarkers for iron deficiency, is presented. Two assay formats were explored in this research: 1) standard sandwich assay (SA) and 2) inverse sandwich assay (IA). For both of these formats, total analytical error was quantified. Commercialized enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) served as the reference methods to quantify the analytical error of the PC biosensor measuring both biomarkers in the IA and SA format. In the SA human liver ferritin (450 kDa), clinical serum controls, and three commercially available ferritin ELISA tests were used to evaluate the PC biosensor assay in terms of inter- and intra-assay variability, spike-recovery (%), and limit of detection (LOD). In the IA format, functionalized iron-oxide nanoparticles (fAb-IONs) were used as magnetic immuno-probes to bind sTfR (85 kDa) and minimize non-specific signals, while enhancing detection on the PC biosensor. Studies were conducted examining the binding ratios of fAb-IONs and sTfR, inherent imprecision, LOD, inter- and intra-assay replication, and nanoparticle aggregation. In both assay formats, a linear dose-response curve was elicited using the fAb-IONs. The final study was a comparison of studies experiment comparing the analytical performance of the IA on the PC biosensor to FDA-certified ELISAs measuring ferritin and sTfR. Samples from chronic kidney disease patients on hemodialysis were tested on both platforms. Total analytical error was quantified for the PC biosensor measuring ferritin and sTfR. The calculated total analytical error exceeded the quality specification for both biomarkers. Future optimization studies should aim to decrease the errors to be within the quality specifications.

▼ Background: Child survival is improving in Cambodia, nevertheless, 40% of Cambodian children under-five years of age are stunted and 55% are anaemic, with a peak anaemia prevalence in late infancy of 86%. In efficacy trials in Cambodia and elsewhere, micronutrient powders (Sprinkles) have significantly reduced anaemia. Whether this could be achieved by delivering Sprinkles through existing government health services was less certain. Methods: A cluster-randomized trial in one rural health district of Cambodia evaluating the effectiveness of daily multi-micronutrient Sprinkles mixed with complementary foods along with infant and young child feeding (IYCF) education in infants (N = 3112) from aged 6 to 11 months, compared to IYCF education alone. We followed a randomly selected sub-sample of 1350 children at 6 monthly intervals to aged 24 months via biomarkers and anthropometry, to establish whether any observed effects on anaemia, deficiencies of iron, vitamin A, zinc, and growth were sustained. Results:Anaemia prevalence (haemoglobin (Hb) < 110g/L) was reduced in the intervention arm compared with the control arm at the end of the intervention [aged 12 months], by 20.6% (95% CI, 9.4 to 30.2; P = 0.001), and prevalence of moderate anaemia (Hb < 100g/L) was reduced by 27.1% (95% CI, 21.0 to 31.8, P < 0.001). The risk of anaemia (Hb < 110 g/L) and moderate anaemia (Hb < 100 g/L) was reduced by 24%, (Rate Ratio (RR) 0.76, 95% CI 0.64 to 0.89, P = 0.001), and 57% (RR 0.43, 95% CI 0.33 to 0.56, P < 0.001), respectively. At later follow-up time points there were no significant differences in anaemia between groups. At 12 and 18 months, iron deficiency was reduced by 23.5% (95% CI, 15.6 to 29.1; P < 0.001) and 11.6% (95% CI, 2.6 to 17.9; P = 0.02), respectively. The risk of iron deficiency was reduced by 57% (RR 0.43, 95% CI 0.32 to 0.58, P < 0.001), and iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) and non-IDA, were reduced for moderate anaemia at 12 months in the intervention group. The mean serum zinc concentration was increased at 12 months (0.44 μmol/L, 95% CI 0.04 to 0.83, P = 0.028). There were no statistically significant differences in zinc or vitamin A deficiency, or growth at any time. Compared to national surveys, we found a slowing of stunting and underweight at 12 and 18 months, and an increase in meeting World Health Organization (WHO) recommended IYCF practices for adequate feeding at 6, 12 and 18 months. Conclusion: Sprinkles, delivered through government health services, reduced anaemia and iron deficiency, and increased mean serum zinc concentration in Cambodian infants. These effects were in addition to IYCF education alone, but the effects on anaemia and serum zinc concentration did not persist beyond the intervention period. This study provides clear evidence supporting the roll out of Sprinkles as a micronutrient intervention in Cambodia and similar settings. The duration should be extended to at least 18 months, and preferably 24 months of age. This study also provides indirect evidence… Advisors/Committee Members: Herbison, Peter (advisor).

▼ Low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are an independent risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) is a major genetic determinant of circulating HDL-C level. ABCA1 is a membrane bound transporter that is crucial to the formation of mature HDL particles though its role in facilitating efflux of cellular cholesterol and phospholipids onto lipid-poor apoA-I protein. Mutations in ABCA1 are associated with low HDL-C levels, Tangier Disease and familial hypoalphalipoprotienemia (FHA). The major aim of this study was to determine the impact of ABCA1 variation on expression and function. Six ABCA1 mutations, identified in local low HDL-C subjects; A594T, I659V, Y1767D, R2004K, A2028V and Q2239N, were characterised in vitro using HEK293 cells transfected with ABCA1-GFP cDNA expression vectors. Functional testing, using cholesterol efflux assays, showed the mutants to have varying degrees of perturbed efflux function and confocal microscopy indicated many of the mutant proteins to be mislocalised. A further three ABCA1 mutations; C978fsX988, T1512M and N1800H, were identified and characterised within the context of a FHA pedigree. Cholesterol efflux assays, ex vivo using primary fibroblasts and in vitro using transfected HEK293 cells, showed all three mutations to impair efflux function and to be associated with disrupted sub-cellular localisation. The level of C978fsX988 mRNA was shown to be negligible in the fibroblast cultures, which precluded a dominant negative effect of the truncated allele on full-length ABCA1 alleles. As mislocalisation correlated with impaired function for many of the mutants, the effect of the chemical chaperone, sodium 4-phenylbutyrate (4-PBA), was investigated. Treatment with 4- PBA improved localisation and efflux function for the majority of mutants in transfected HEK293 cells. This was associated with an increase in the level of ABCA1-GFP protein, likely due to stimulation of the ABCA1 expression vector CMV promoter by 4-PBA. Functional testing using primary skin fibroblasts from the available mutants however, showed an improved efflux function without any increase in ABCA1 protein expression. The prevalence of two ABCA1 promoter polymorphisms, C-14T and G-278C was determined in a local population, where the -14T variant and the -14T, -278C haplotype were found to be associated with increased HDL-C level. Functional analysis of the two polymorphisms in isolation and in combination showed cell type specific effects on transcriptional activity, with a heightened response of the -14T genotype to agonist stimulation in HepG2 cells compared to RAW264.7 cells. Finally, comparison of the lipid profile for subjects with low and normal HDL-C levels revealed low HDL-C to be associated with triglyceride-enrichment of apoB-containing lipoproteins, particularly very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and in extreme cases of FHA, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) also. The results of this study highlight that ABCA1… Advisors/Committee Members: McCormick, Sally (advisor).

▼ Approximately 12% of Americans do not consume the amount of zinc equal to the Estimated Average Requirement for zinc and could be at risk for marginal zinc deficiency. Zinc is an essential component of proteins in the defense against oxidative stress and DNA damage repair. Specifically in the prostate, zinc concentrations are inversely associated with prostate malignancy. Zinc deficiency may predispose cells to the development of cancer by increasing oxidative stress and DNA damage. Studies have shown that severe zinc-depletion increased DNA damage in testes. However, the effects of marginal zinc deficiency, which is more prevalent in human population and physiologically relevant, are understudied. This study aimed to specify the mechanisms by which zinc status affects DNA integrity and the prostate maintains zinc level in vivo. We examined the effects of zinc deficiency on DNA damage and oxidative stress in rat models and in human studies. In rats, severe zinc-depletion caused an increase in DNA damage in peripheral blood cells that decreased following zinc-repletion. DNA repair functions were impaired as indicated by compromised p53 DNA binding and differential activation of DNA repair proteins. Importantly, marginal zinc-depletion (MZD) also increased DNA damage and oxidative stress, and impaired DNA repair functions. However, these effects were not observed in the prostate. Only in combination with an exogenous stress (exercise), MZD increased DNA damage in the prostate, indicating that MZD may sensitize the prostate to exogenous DNA damaging agents. Similar to the rat study, marginal dietary zinc depletion (6wk) in healthy males increased DNA strand breaks in peripheral blood cells, alterations which were ameliorated by zinc repletion (4wk). Oxidative stress and antioxidants were not altered during zinc depletion/repletion periods. The increases in DNA damage were associated with impaired zinc homeostasis. MZD decreased zinc concentration as well as ZnT2 expression in the prostate dorsolateral lobe, indicating disregulation of zinc transporter and zinc homeostasis. Taken together, these studies suggest a key function of zinc in maintaining DNA integrity. Thus, the maintenance of adequate dietary zinc may have an important impact on protecting tissues, such as the prostate, from DNA damage and decreasing cancer risk.

The objective of this thesis was to study the response of Eutrema salsugineum (Yukon) plants to low phosphate (Pi) using seedlings and four- week-old plants grown on media formulated with variable phosphate (Pi). Seedlings showed similar root architecture whether grown with high Pi or without added Pi. Four-week-old plants grown with 0 or 2.5 mM Pi added to the soil had the same shoot biomass and relative growth rates. Confirmation that plants on low Pi were Pi-deficient despite lacking a Pi-starvation phenotype was provided by the increased expression of Pi-starvation-inducible genes (notably EsIPS2) in Pi-deprived plants. We also found that seedling roots on media lacking Pi did not acidify their rhizosphere nor did they show increased phosphatase secretion or phosphatase activity relative to roots of Pi-sufficient seedlings. In soil-grown plants, leaf P remobilization was slower during dark-induced senescence of Eutrema relative to similarly treated, Pi-starved Arabidopsis. Also related to metabolism, in vitro assays showed that the ratio of maximal PPi- and ATP- dependent phosphofructokinase activities approximated 1:1 and 2:1 for Eutrema leaf and root extracts, respectively, with no Pi-responsive changes found and, relative to Arabidopsis, Eutrema phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase activities were high. The enzyme activities suggest Eutrema operates glycolytic by-passes under Pi sufficient and deficient conditions. Finally, transcripts for the transcription factors Phosphate Starvation Response 1 (PHR1) and WRKY75 were not Pi-starvation-inducible and were more abundant in Eutrema leaves than in leaves of Pi-deprived Arabidopsis. Global gene expression showed the leaf and root transcriptomes to be about 90% similar between 0 and 2.5 mM Pi- treated plants with 2,901 differentially expressed genes detected by DESeq2. In summary, Eutrema displays few Pi-starvation responsive traits whether those traits reflect changes at the level of gene expression or plant morphology, behaviour consistent with a specialist that is continuously primed for Pi starvation.

▼ Abstract Background: Low energy availability and psychosocial stress have been shown to suppress reproductive function in mammals independently and in combination. The unique contributions of psychosocial stress on the severity of exercise associated menstrual dysfunction have not been identified and there are few prospective studies that demonstrate such effects. Objectives: To determine the contribution of psychosocial stress to the induction of menstrual disturbances in response to a diet and exercise program that induced modest weight loss. We tested the hypothesis that increases in psychosocial stress were associated with the induction of menstrual disturbances during the original intervention. Design: A secondary analysis was performed on data collected during a prior randomized controlled trial designed to assess the impact of three months of low (8 ± 2%), moderate (22 ± 3%), or high (42 ± 3%) levels of an energy deficit created through varying combinations of controlled caloric restriction and supervised exercise on menstrual function in ovulatory, sedentary women. We tested the hypothesis that increases in psychosocial stress were associated with the induction of menstrual disturbances during the original intervention. Methods: In the original trial, 36 women (age 18-24 yrs, BMI 21-29 kg/m2) were studied during a Baseline menstrual cycle followed by three successive menstrual cycles during which they exercised 5 d/wk, 50-85% VO2max for 20-75 min and all food was provided to participants according to study group assignment. Metabolic and anthropometric measures were repeated throughout the intervention. Menstrual disturbances (luteal cycle defects, oligomenorrhea, and anovulation) were detected using daily measures of urinary estrone-1-glucuronide (E1G), pregnanediol glucuronide (PdG), mid-cycle luteinizing hormone (LH) and menstrual calendars. Perceived stress was measured every two weeks with the 14-item Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen, 1983). For the secondary analysis, logistic regression and chi-square analyses were performed to test the association between perceived stress and menstrual disturbances induced during the intervention. For some analyses, participants were divided into tertiles based on their change in perceived stress across the intervention: Low Stress -12.5 to 0.5 (n = 13), Moderate Stress 1.0 to 4.5 (n = 11), and High Stress 5.0 to 36.5 (n = 12). ANOVA was used to detect group differences in reproductive hormone secretion and other measures. Baseline anthropometrics, age, aerobic fitness, scores for depression and eating attitudes, and reproductive factors were investigated as possible contributors to the change in perceived stress. Results: The intervention caused moderate weight loss (-2.57 ± 0.35 kg) and increases in aerobic fitness (p < 0.01). The change in perceived stress was a significant predictor of anovulatory cycles during the intervention such that each unit increase in change in perceived stress was associated with a 23% increase (odds ratio 1.23, 1.03 - 1.47, 95%… Advisors/Committee Members: Nancy Williams, Thesis Advisor/Co-Advisor, Mary Jane De Souza, Committee Member, Lorah D Dorn, Committee Member.

▼ For Kenya to win the war against Human Immunodeficiency Virus it needs to focus on sustaining the projects initiated by donors in light of scarce resources attributed to both global recession and the high burden H.I.V and A.I.D.S has placed on the government. It is worth noting that H.I.V and A.I.D.S projects are largely dependent upon funding by donors and this necessitates the need for resource maximization to ensure sustainability of the project. Human Immuno Deficiency Virus remains a major challenge in Kibera and Centre for Disease Control estimates the rate of infection to be over 20% and its in this background of this that this research sought to focus on Determinants of sustainability of Human Immuno Deficiency Virus donor funded projects in Nairobi county ,Kenya: a case of Kibera slums.The research was guided by four objectives, to determine the influence of community participation on sustainability of H.I.V and A.I.D.S projects ,to examine the influence of monitoring and evaluation on sustainability of H.I.V and A.I.D.S projects, to establish the influence of institutional environment on sustainability of H.I.V. and A.I.D.S projects and to assess the influence of project resources on sustainability of H.I.V and A.I.D.S projects. Literature reviewed defines sustainability as the continuation of benefits after major assistance from a donor has been completed and this is accurately captures the main reason for engaging in this study and explore the concept of sustainability. The study used descriptive research design in collecting the data from respondents. The design was justified for this study because it enabled the researcher to get details by analyzing the objects of study by asking questions such as who, how, what, which and when. It also provided description of the situation, thus limiting the level of biasness in the collection of data and an eventual reduction of errors in interpreting the data collected .The study used Krejcien and Morgan table to determine the sample size from the donor funded projects operating in Kibera. Respondents for the study were drawn from the target population and consisted of a project managers, project coordinators, finance managers and project officers drawn from organizations dealing with H.IV and A.I.D.S, making it a total of ninety two (92). Quantitative data which was collected using closed ended questions in the questionnaires was cleaned and tabulated. The tabulated data was analyzed using correlation and regression with the aid of SPSS 21. The regression model was used to determine if there is a relationship between dependent and independent variables. Out of the 120 distributed questionnaires, 100 we returned. The found that sustainability can only be achieved when the community is fully involved in all aspects of the project, monitoring and evaluation can not be divorced from sustainable projects.There is need to scale up monitoring and evaluation to enhance evidence based programs. Organizations should embrace and support efforts to building strong monitoring…

G6PD catalyses the first reaction of the pentose phosphate pathway where it plays a role in generation of NADPH, which is essential in reducing glutathione. In the reduced state, glutathione decreases oxidative stress. Oxidative stress has been shown to adversely affect vasodilation of small vessels which is essential for reducing blood pressure. There is however, limited scientific evidence that associates G6PD deficiency and aetiology of essential hypertension. This study aims at determining the prevalence of G6PD deficiency in both the essential hypertensive and normotensive adults, and also establishing its association to essential hypertension. It will also determine the levels of nitric oxide (NO) in both groups and its association to essential hypertension. METHODS: An analytical cross-sectional design was applied to 89 essential hypertensive participants and 89 healthy normotensive participants, making a total of 178. All the participants were aged between 35 and 65 years. Blood was collected for G6PD activity and serum levels of NO, glucose, creatinine; and, urea and electrolytes. In addition, routine urinalysis was done. A logistic regression was used to investigate the association of age, sex, nitric oxide levels, and G6PD deficiency with essential hypertension as the dependant variable. RESULTS: The G6PD deficiency was found in 14 (16%) participants with essential hypertension and 9 (10%) control participants. The difference however, in the G6PD deficiency prevalence rate was not statistically significant (p= 0.13). Logistic regression analysis, including G6PD deficiency, age, nitric oxide, and gender as covariates, revealed that G6PD deficiency was significantly associated with increased risk for essential hypertension (odds ratio [OR]=2.9, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.07-7.94, p=0.036), while nitric oxide was significantly associated, but with reduced risk for essential hypertension (odds ratio [OR]=0.99, 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.98-0.99, p=0.001). The analysis further showed a significant association of age and essential hypertension, with participants in age groups 46-55 and 56-65 being at higher risk of developing essential hypertension than those in age group 35-45 (odds ratio for age groups [OR]=2.4, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.05-5.54, p=0.037 and [OR]=7.3, [CI]=3.22-16.61, vi p=0.000 , respectively). The study also revealed no association between gender and essential hypertension ([OR]=0.79, [CI]=0.39-1.60, p=0.52). CONCLUSION: The study established that the difference in the G6PD deficiency prevalence rates was not statistically significant at 0.05 significance level (p=0.13). Therefore, the results support the hypothesis that states that there is no difference in G6PD deficiency prevalence between the essential hypertensive and normotensive adults, though the study showed a possible role of G6PD…

▼ Background: Globally there is no consensus on haemoglobin (Hb) parameters that define maternal anaemia. Therefore it is difficult to distinguish physiological anaemia of pregnancy from anaemia associated with pathology. Low maternal iron status is associated with adverse outcomes, although the evidence is difficult to interpret. Non-anaemic iron deficiency requires prevention and treatment, before end stage iron deficiency anaemia. Increases in serum ferritin (SF) secondary to inflammation, gives misleading results of iron stores if not tested with C-reactive protein (CRP). Given the complexities, how do Lead Maternity Carer (LMC) midwives in New Zealand manage anaemia and iron deficiency, without a clinical guideline? Methods: In this descriptive study, quantitative data was retrospectively collected from September-December 2013, from LMC midwives (n=21) and women (n=189), in one New Zealand area. Main outcomes assessed were women’s iron status. Anaemia was defined as Hb <110g/L in the first trimester, <105g/L in subsequent trimesters, and <100g/L postnatally. Iron deficiency was defined as SF <20 μg/L, if CRP<5mg/L. A secondary analysis of iron status and body mass index (BMI) was undertaken. Results: Of the 186 women who had Hb testing at booking, 46% did not have ferritin tested concurrently. Of the 385 ferritin tests undertaken, 86% were not tested with CRP. Despite midwives prescribing iron for 48.7%, and recommending iron for 16.9% of second trimester women, 47.1% had low iron status before birth. Only 22.8% had Hb testing postpartum, including 65.1% (of 38) with blood loss >500mls. Results of a secondary analysis showed a significant difference (p=.05) between third trimester ferritin levels in women with BMI ≥ 25 (Md SF 14 μg/L) and BMI < 25 (Md SF 18 μg/L). Conclusions: Inconsistent testing of ferritin made it difficult to assess maternal iron status, especially without concurrent testing of CRP. Midwives may not understand and recognise the progression from iron sufficiency to end-stage iron deficiency anaemia. Even without further research this small study may indicate the need for improved education for midwives, and a clinical guideline. More complex studies on the prevalence in New Zealand, BMI and iron status, and maternal outcomes especially in the postpartum period, are warranted. Advisors/Committee Members: Skinner, Joan.

Les processus de l'accroissement somatique et de la saturation et activité sexuelle ont été étudiés dans l'optique de la carence metabolique nutritionnelle du zinc, dans le rat femelle. La carence en zinc est une condition nutritionnelle dysmetabolique rencontrée dans la nature. Ses consequences, refletées par le model adopté, y sont l'arrêt de la croissance corporelle et le délai on manque de développement sexuel dans les jeunes femelles. Chez les adultes, la carence en zinc inhibe, au mains partiellement, les fonctions sexuelles. L'induction pharmacologique de la puberté précoce ne parte que sur les organes périphériques (i.e. l'ovaire, l'uterus} mais n'influence pas le niveau hypophysaire. Les déterminations obtenues de l' hormone somatotrophe (GH), de l'insuline et de la thyroxine reflètent les consequences observables de l'arrêt de la croissance. L'absence de la puberté est accompagnée par une baisse des gonadotropines, de la prolactine et des hormones steroides sexuelles. L'ensemble des resultats des dosages hormonaux est indicatif du fait que la carence en zinc est nuisible au fonctionnement de 1 'axe pituitaire - organes sexuels, étant compatible avec le nanisme et l'hypogonadisme.

The processes of somatic growth and sexual maturation and activity have been investigated in the light of the metabolic model of nutritional zinc deficiency, in female rats. Zinc deficiency is a dysmetabolic nutritional condition encountered in nature. Its consequences, mirrored by the model adopted, are growth arrest or delay and lack of sexual maturation in the young. Zinc deficiency in adult female rats inhibits, at least in part, sexual functions. Pharmacologic induction of precocious sexual maturation meets with success only at the end-organ {i.e. ovary, uterus) level. The observable pattern of growth arrest is paralleled by low levels of growth hormone, insulin and thyroxine, as determined. The absence of sexual maturation and activity are paralleled by low levels of FSH, LH, PRL and steroid sex hormones, as determined. The results obtained from the hormonal determinations done indicate that zinc deficiency affects significantly the pituitary-endorgan axis, being causal to dwarfism and hypogonadism.

▼ Non-coding RNAs are vital to several diverse biological processes. Untranslated regions of mRNAs (UTRs) and variability therein can often cause differential regulation of transcripts. This regulation is often effected by microRNAs (miRNAs), small non-coding RNAs that interacts with 3’UTRs to regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally. Here we investigate the variation in the 3’UTR of SERPINA1 gene, mutations of which cause the often life-threatening Alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (A1AD), and effects on miRNA. We screened 50 miRNA mimics and determined their overexpression does not affect secreted alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT). Additionally, we showed through the use of a poxvirus protein to degrade miRNAs that underexpression of miRNAs does not affect secreted AAT. Using luciferase reporters we determine that in cultured cells, there are no liver-specific trans-factors that act on the SERPINA1 3’UTR, of any length, to regulate gene expression. We sequenced the 3’UTRs from the largest cohort of of A1AD patients to date and determined that 3’UTR variation does not contribute to disease severity in patients with one form of A1AD, and that in a cell culture context, miRNAs do not regulate secreted AAT. We conclude that neither 3’UTR variation nor miRNAs affect wild-type secreted AAT. In addition to genetic disease, miRNAs regulate multiple aspects of the host-pathogen interface. Until now no widely accepted PV-encoded miRNAs have been described. We have developed miRNA Discovery by forced Genomic Expression (miDGE), a new wet bench approach to miRNA identification that screens numerous pathogen genomes in parallel. Using miDGE, we screened over 75 different PV genomes for the ability to code for miRNAs. We conclusively demonstrate a lack of PV miRNA expression in cancers associated with infections of several high risk HPVs. However, we identified five different miRNAs encoded by four different PVs (Human PVs 17, 37, 41 and Fringilla colebs (Fc) PV). We show that miRNAs from two PVs (HPV41 & FcPV) are able to regulate transcripts corresponding to the early region of the PV genome.. Combined, these findings identify the first canonical PV miRNAs and support that miRNAs of either host or viral origin are important regulators of the PV life cycle.
