IC.3. Specific Aims: Specific Aim1: Role of NK cells and neutrophils at different disease stages of MmuPV1 infection Rationale: The role of innate immune cells in HPV-associated cancers has been investigated in human studies (55). However, how these cells fight against papillomavirus infection at different disease stages remains unclear (8). We recently established persistent mucosal infection in immunocompetent heterozygous (Foxn1nu/+) NU/J mice. When compared with immunocompromised homozygous…

1. Introduction: Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) can be ranked as the sixth leading cancer by incidence worldwide (1,2). Every year, there are more than 550,000 patients diagnosed with head and neck cancers worldwide and around 300,000 related deaths (3). Squamous cell carcinomas represent 90% of cases and mostly arise from the epithelial lining of the oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx, and hypopharynx. SCCHN can be divided into three stages: early stage (I/II), locally…

Psychological Stress Test The acute psychological stress test we used was a ten-minute version of the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT) (Gronwall, 1977). This has been shown to reliably perturb both the cardiovascular system and salivary cortisol levels (Phillips et al., 2005, Phillips et al., 2006, Phillips et al., 2009) and demonstrate good test-retest reliability (Willemsen et al., 1998). In this task, the participants were presented, via a compact disc player, a series of single…

Solar energy is produced by contracting the sun 's radiation into a transducer where it is then converted into heat, electricity, and other energy forms (Solar Energy). This energy can either be produced directly as a heat source or indirectly as electricity. This form of energy is converted through greenhouses, common windows…

3. Transverse cerebellar diameter measurement (TCD) : The cerebellar view is obtained by rotating the transducer in the axial plane centered on the thalamus to show the cerebellar hemispheres. This view shows the cerebellum, the cistern magna and the cavum septum pellucidi. The cerebellum characteristically appears as two lobules in either side of midline in the posterior cranial fossa. The widest diameter of the cerebellum is measured(16). Fig. 5: Ultrasonographic Measurement of Transverse…
