Show moreMounting evidence suggests that subjective cognitive decline (SCD) may provide a unique target to identify the earliest changes in cognitive function in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In addition, vascular-related risk factors are also linked to increase the risk of clinical expression of AD, and independently increase the risk for vascular dementia (VaD). However, most investigations have not explored SCD across a multiethnic population. The study investigated 1) the associations between white matter hyperintensities (WMH) and targeted neuroimaging AD markers (hippocampal volume, cortical thickness of AD regions) with SCD amongst a multiethnic cohort, and 2) whether race moderated the relationship between them. A total of 871 older adults ages from 62-96 years old with a mean age of 74.48 (SD = 6.11), mean education of 12.79 years (SD = 4.53), and with 62% identifying as female were recruited from preexisting data from the Washington Heights Inwood Columbia Aging Project (WHICAP). Linear regression model revealed a significant association between WMH and both AD targeted neuroimaging markers across the total sample. Secondary analyses revealed that race did not moderate the relationship between WMH and AD cortical thickness with SCD but did in fact moderate the relationship between hippocampal volume and SCD. Results suggest that cultural biological differences exist in the Hispanic/Latine individuals compared to non-Hispanic White and non-Hispanic Black individuals.

Show moreThere have been numerous reports of Powdered Infant Formula (PIF) recalls and outbreaks due to the absence of a kill step in the post-pasteurization processing, improper handling pre and post processing and/or reconstitution, and lack of effective sanitization and cleaning of the food contact surfaces in the manufacturing facilities. The objectives of this present study were to 1) survey and identify background microflora in commercial PIF products through microbiological analysis, 16S rRNA, and whole genome sequencing (WGS); 2) compare the survival rate of a known Cronobacter sakazakii and a newly isolated Bacillus cereus DFPST-SP1 in PIF under a humidity level of 33 ± 3% over a period of 28 d; 3) examine the relative resistance of these two strains to thermal treatments at temperatures 40, 70, and 100 °C followed by storage at room temperature (RT) for 30 min; and 4) evaluate the bactericidal effect of 70% ethanol on the two artificially deposited bacterial strains on stainless steel (SS) and plastic coupons. Three biological trials were conducted for each study. To determine whether the increase, decrease, or difference in the bacterial populations and other parameters like water activity (aw) was statistically significant, a T-test was performed (p ≤ 0.05 was considered significant). Results of 16S rRNA sequencing revealed the presence of certain bacterial species in PIF, such as Lactococcus lactis, B. cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella enterica, etc. distributed across a relative abundance of >25%, <25%, and ≤3%. After the enrichment and isolation as per Bacteriological Analytical Manual (BAM), C. sakazakii or S. enterica were not detected, while colonies exhibiting a blue-green appearance resembling Listeria spp. and certain Bacillus spp. were subjected to WGS for species-level identification. The assembly_1 from formulation 1 was confirmed as B. cereus sequence type 2255 and was renamed as B. cereus DFPST-SP1 in the contribution of this thesis work. The storage study conducted on PIF inoculated with C. sakazakii and B. cereus DFPST-SP1 at 33% RH showed that there was 0.25-0.27 log CFU/g reduction towards the end of 28 d, but no significant difference was observed between the two strains. The thermal challenge study revealed that the newly isolated B. cereus strain and C. sakazakii used in this study were highly thermotolerant. Based on the sanitizer challenge study, 70% ethanol was significantly more effective in reducing populations of C. sakazakii as compared to B. cereus. Moreover, higher log reductions of C. sakazakii 587 populations on stainless steel coupons compared to plastic coupons were observed, indicating that bacteria adhere more tightly to plastic surfaces than stainless steel (SS). Overall, the findings of this study shed new light on bolstering the safety standards of PIF and highlight the need for improved cleaning and sanitization procedures within manufacturing facilities in order to ensure the safety of reconstituted PIF, thereby enhancing public health, particularly infants and neonates.

Show moreThe loss of mitochondrial phospholipid cardiolipin (CL) may play a role in both the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and its treatment. An effector molecule of the disease, amyloid-beta (Aβ), has been observed to interact with lipid membranes, but its relevance to mitochondrial membranes containing CL remained elusive. The present study investigated if the presence of CL modulated the insertion of adsorbed helical amyloid beta (Aβ14-40) into model mitochondrial membranes, and if this effect was more pronounced for its N-terminus or C-terminus. I conducted a coarse-grained computer simulation using well-tempered metadynamics to traverse the free energy landscape that maps the translocation of Aβ14-40. Insertion into CL-containing bilayers created larger local membrane deformations and modulated the location of the transition path but had an inconclusive impact on the free energy cost of translocation. Since the generation of toxic calcium-permeable pores depends on the insertion of Aβ into the bilayer, the loss of CL seen in AD may prime the inner mitochondrial membrane for pore formation, but more research is needed to pursue this hypothesis.

Show moreFresh fruits and vegetables are prone to microbial contamination throughout different phases of human handling, processing, transportation, and distribution. Emerging technologies, such as power ultrasound, have received attention due to their capacity to reduce or eliminate foodborne bacterial pathogens on these commodities. Power ultrasound, when combined with certain antimicrobials, has demonstrated its effectiveness as a valuable tool for washing fresh produce. The objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness of power ultrasound combined with organic acids on the reduction of Listeria monocytogenes on fruits. In this study, peaches and apples were subjected to surface inoculation with a four-strain cocktail of L. monocytogenes and dried for 1 h. Stomacher bags, containing 225 mL of citric, lactic, or malic acids at concentrations of 1%, 2%, or 5%, were employed for treating inoculated peaches and apples. The acid treatment was used alone, or in combination with power ultrasound for 2, 5, or 10 min. Water was used for controls. Before treatment, the initial population of L. monocytogenes on apples was lower compared to the initial population on peaches, with apples showing a 1.94 log CFU/fruit reduction. Water controls demonstrated no significant log reduction in both apples and peaches. The greatest L. monocytogenes reduction on apples occurred when treated with 1% citric acid for 2 min with power ultrasound where L. monocytogenes was significantly reduced from 6.98±0.88 log CFU/fruit to 5.56±0.91 log CFU/fruit. The greatest L. monocytogenes reduction on peaches occurred when treated with 5% citric acid for 5 min with power ultrasound where L. monocytogenes was significantly reduced from 7.44±0.45 log CFU/fruit to 6.68±0.40 log CFU/fruit. Overall, the combined effect of acid and power ultrasound was more pronounced in apples than in peaches. The survival of L. monocytogenes on apples and peaches appeared to be highly dependent on the specific treatment and hurdle technology applied. The combination of ultrasound hurdle technology with acid washing has proven effective in reducing L. monocytogenes on both peaches and apples, with a more significant impact observed on apples. While acid washing is a more economical option compared to ultrasound technology, the efficiency of microorganism reduction is considerably enhanced when power ultrasound is combined with organic acids. Looking ahead, the development of cost-effective power ultrasound methods could facilitate widespread adoption of ultrasound hurdle technology in the produce industry.
