AD pathology includes neurofibrillary tangles, amyloid plaques, chronic inflammation, and oxidative stress. Secretory phospholipase A2-IIA (sPLA2-IIA) is an inflammatory protein known to have a role in the pathogenesis of multiple inflammatory diseases and is implicated in several neurodegenerative diseases. In AD, astrocytes become reactive and have increased expression of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1! and TNF-#, and undergo increased oxidative stress. NADPH oxidase is one of the major enzymatic sources of reactive oxygen species in the central nervous system; activation of this enzyme may contribute to increased oxidative stress in cells of AD brains, including astrocytes. The expression and localization of sPLA2-IIA in human AD brains has not been studied in detail. In these studies, we show that sPLA2-IIA mRNA is up-regulated in AD brains (compared to nondemented elderly brains) and sPLA2-IIA immunoreactivity is increased in AD astrocytes. To further elucidate involvement of oxidative pathways in induction of sPLA2-IIA mRNA and protein by pro-inflammatory cytokines, we performed in vitro studies with immortalized astrocytes (DITNC). These studies demonstrated the involvement of PI-3 kinase and ERK1/2, but not p38 MAPK, in the cytokine-induced sPLA2-IIA expression","PeriodicalId":285769,"journal":{"name":"Submitted by the University of Missouri--Columbia Graduate School","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129706652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vandevender","doi":"10.32469/10355/44509","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.32469/10355/44509","url":null,"abstract":"American musicals are among our country’s most valuable social documents as they depict the dominant discourses and reigning values of the cultural moment from which they first emerged through song, dance, and story. Consequently, all works are innately tied to the era that produced them. Some musicals, however, feature ties to the past are stronger and markedly more visible than others. When the vestiges of the past are so numerous that a given musical says more about the prevailing paradigms of art and thought at a specific moment in American history than it does about the universality of the human condition, then the work might be identified as timebound. A musical’s propensity for time-boundedness is perhaps never more evident than when it is revived years after its original production. When the era that occasioned the piece has passed and the attitudes that it first espoused have changed, a musical that was once fresh and timely can appear dated to a contemporary audience. Moreover, if the forms of song and dance first employed by that musical are outmoded, and not altered or updated in some way, then the work may read aesthetically as well as socially obsolete. This study offers a systematic investigation of the ways in which theatre artists have approached the task of reviving significantly time-bound musicals on Broadway. Through an examination of three representative case studies—Hair (1968), Company (1970), and A Chorus Line (1975)—this project identifies the various ways in which the musicals are anchored to their original era, how those bonds have been negotiated in revivals, and to what effect.","PeriodicalId":285769,"journal":{"name":"Submitted by the University of Missouri--Columbia Graduate School","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129452220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
