There is nothing extraordinary about the Pritikin Diet aside from that it is incredibly solid. In excess of 100 investigations distributed in peer-inspected clinical diaries, the Pritikin Program of Diet and Exercise has been found to advance weight reduction as well as forestall and control a large number of the world''s driving executioners, including diabetes, hypertension, and coronary illness. While a great deal of the current weight control plans are regularly founded on the low measure of sugars, and the medium-high measure of fat that must be eaten, we''re going to see that the present diet works oppositely. Indeed, this eating regimen was made to quit eating an excessive number of fats, since it could prompt coronary illness, diabetes or elevated cholesterol. Furthermore, the maker, Nathan Pritikin, was determined to have a coronary illness, which brought about the formation of this eating routine. At his passing, during the examination, no indication of coronary illness was found. One needs to get that, in contrast to the fat flush eating regimen plans or the Bulletproof espresso diet, you have to realize that so as to have a sound way of life and heart, the ideal dinner plan doesn''t exist without anyone else. Rather than searching for the ideal menu, you should concentrate on executing diet and activities.

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a conserved cellular plasticity program that is reactivated in carcinoma cells and drives metastasis. EMT is well studied, but its regulatory mechanisms remain unclear. In this dissertation, we explore two ways in which the ubiquitin-proteasome system regulates EMT. First, we investigate the role of the 26S proteasome in regulating EMT. In Chapters 1-2, we show that [beta]2 and [beta]5 proteasome subunit activity is downregulated during EMT in immortalized human mammary epithelial cells. Moreover, selective proteasome inhibition enabled mammary epithelial cells to acquire certain morphologic and functional characteristics reminiscent of cancer stem cells, including CD44 expression, self-renewal, and tumor formation. Transcriptomic analyses suggested that proteasome-inhibited cells share gene expression signatures with cells that have undergone EMT, in part, through modulation of the TGF-[beta] signaling pathway. These findings suggest that selective downregulation of proteasome activity in mammary epithelial cells can initiate the EMT program and acquisition of a cancer stem cell-like phenotype. As proteasome inhibitors become increasingly used in cancer treatment, our findings highlight a potential risk of these therapeutic strategies and suggest a possible mechanism by which carcinoma cells may escape from proteasome inhibitor-based therapy. Second, we explore potential novel regulators of EMT within the ubiquitin-proteasome system pathway. In Chapters 3-4, we uncover novel regulators of EMT by mining previously published microarray data and found a group of deubiquitinases (DUBs) upregulated in cells that have undergone EMT. Here, we show that one DUB in particular, Ubiquitin specific peptidase 11 (USP11), enhances TGF-[beta]-induced EMT and self-renewal in immortalized human mammary epithelial cells. Furthermore, modulating USP11 expression in human breast cancer cell lines altered migratory capacity in vitro and metastasis in vivo. Moreover, we found that high USP11 expression in human breast cancer patient clinical samples correlated with decreased survival. Mechanistically, modulating USP11 expression altered the stability of TGF-[beta] receptor type 2 (TGFBR2) and TGF-[beta] downstream signaling in human breast cancer cell lines. Together, these data suggest that deubiquitination of TGFBR2 by USP11, effectively spares TGFBR2 from proteasomal degradation to promote EMT and metastasis and suggest USP11 as a potential therapeutic target for breast cancer.

This thesis is an ethnography of Maniq people living in Southern Thailand. Maniq people are the northernmost group of forest peoples who have traditionally lived throughout the Malay peninsula and Kra Isthmus. The thesis is concerned with the ways in which Maniq people articulate personhood and identity through a framework of pragmatism and social action. To be Maniq, in this way, means to be a "forest person", indicating not just a form of human ecology or subsistence, but a mode of social and political subjectivity which is actively cultivated and performed over a lifetime.

Carbohydrates play important roles in cellular signaling, disease progression, and metabolism among other functions. The study of these biological functions has historically been limited by the challenging nature of carbohydrate synthesis. We have developed site-selective acylation and phosphoramidation reactions for carbohydrate trans-1,2,-diols using chiral organocatalysts that can greatly simplify the synthesis of carbohydrates. DFT calculations were performed to determine the interactions governing the site-selectivity of the acylation. We found a novel mode of catalyst-substrate interaction, a cation-n interaction, governed the selectivity. We also found that the same organocatalyst was used for the dynamic kinetic stereoselective acylation of 2-chromanols and Achmatowicz lactols. The privileged nature of acylated Achmatowicz lactols with a high diastereomeric ratio as intermediates in de novo carbohydrate synthesis will be demonstrated.

Alys is a thief second and a sister first, but when her bravo of a brother is killed by an unknown assailant, she inherits a small fortune he should never have had, a magical candle that puts her in touch with people he should never have known, and a rune-inscribed dagger that half the great city of Kithamar is looking for. Her search for his murderer will shake the foundations of the city.
