Wiley College and the Literacy Project
No full textIn the years after the Civil War until the 1930s, blacks in America undertook a literacy project -- a vast effort, long-lived, undertaken not by the power, authority, or bureaucracy of government, but instead by blacks acting on their own, unaware of similar efforts in a thousand other places. In the project, Wiley College in Marshall, Texas, a Historically Black College, assumed the obligation to develop leaders, equip teachers, and contribute in any way possible to Negro literacy. Scholars of black colleges have lumped all black colleges together and assumed that what was true about one college was true of all. While this paper does not argue that Wiley College is a representative case study, its story is so different from widely accepted narratives about black colleges that the paper supports the need for historians to take a fresh look at accepted narratives. Commonly held narratives state that the two crucial elements of Negro college success were overall direction by northern church denominations in the 1800s and financial support from northern foundations in the early decades of the twentieth century; they deny agency to leaders and supporters of HBCs like Wiley College. The narrative I trace shows people of Wiley, its President, Matthew W. Dogan, and the blacks of East Texas in charge of the college and engaged in the literacy project.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby James C. Batte
Caudal Septal Division and Batten Graft Application: A Technique to Correct Caudal Septal Deviations
No full textObjective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the surgical outcomes in patients who underwent in one session caudal septal division, strip excision and unilateral bony batten graft procedures, a method described for the correction of caudal septal deviations.Methods: In this retrospective study, 27 patients with C-shaped caudal septal deviation who underwent endonasal septoplasty using caudal septal division, strip excision and unilateral bony batten grafting in our hospital in the period from August 2014 through October 2018 were reviewed. Patients were included in the study if their pre-operative and post-operative questionnaires and post-operative follow-up data (average follow-up period was 13.9 months) were available in full.Results: The average age of the 27 patients (6 women and 21 men) was 29.6±12.4 years. Postoperative observations revealed that a straight septum was achieved in 23 patients (85.1%). Average pre- and post-operative Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) scores were 85.1±20.4 and 22.4±4.2, respectively (p<0.0001). Septal hematoma developed in one patient in the postoperative period.Conclusion: The surgical outcomes of patients in whom we used caudal septal division, strip excision and unilateral bony batten graft to correct caudal septal deviations demonstrated the potential of this technique as an alternative to be used by surgeons

Modified alar batten grafts for treatment in nasal valve dysfunction: Our experience
No full textObjective: Alar batten grafts are used to treat in nasal valve dysfunction (NVD). They can be
placed by open or closed rhinoplasty using rib, septal, or auricular concha cartilage. Our surgical
team used a modified placement of the classic alar batten.We aim to describe these changes
and to the technique and demonstrate that modified alar batten grafts can improve the effects of
spreader grafts and classic alar batten grafts.
Methods: A retrospective study of 91 functional rhinoplasties was performed from March 2011
to November 2019 at a public university hospital in Murcia. The patients were divided into three
groups. Group A included patients operated on using spreader grafts, group B included patients
operated on using spreader grafts associated with alar batten grafts fixed to the caudal edge of
the lateral crura of the lower lateral cartilage (LLC), and group C included patients operated on
using modified alar batten grafts.
Results: A total of 91 functional rhinoplasties were performed, 31 patients were operated on in
group A, 27 patients were operated on in group B, and 33 patients were operated on in group
C. The success rate was 67.7% in group A, 70.4% in group B and 93.9% in group C.
Conclusion: Modified alar batten grafts achieved better results than spreader grafts and spreader
grafts associated with classic alar batten grafts. The size, position and placement of the sutures
of modified alar batten grafts were the key factors in improving our results.Medicin
Morphologic and functional correlates of synaptic pathology in the cathepsin D knockout mouse model of congenital neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis
No full textMutations in the cathepsin D (CTSD) gene cause an aggressive neurodegenerative disease (congenital neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis) that leads to early death. Recent evidence suggests that presynaptic abnormalities play a major role in the pathogenesis of CTSD deficiencies. To identify the early events that lead to synaptic alterations, we investigated synaptic ultrastructure and function in presymptomatic CTSD knockout (Ctsd) mice. Electron microscopy revealed that there were significantly greater numbers of readily releasable synaptic vesicles present in Ctsd mice than in wild-type control mice as early as postnatal day 16. The size of this synaptic vesicle pool continued to increase with disease progression in the hippocampus and thalamus of the Ctsd mice. Electrophysiology revealed a markedly decreased frequency of miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents (mEPSCs) with no effect on paired-pulse modulation of the evoked excitatory post synaptic potentials in the hippocampus of Ctsd mice. The reduced mEPSCs frequency was observed before the appearance of epilepsy or any morphologic sign of synaptic degeneration. Taken together, these data indicate that CTSD is required for normal synaptic function and that a failure in synaptic trafficking or recycling may bean early and important pathologic mechanism in Ctsd mice; these presynaptic abnormalities may initiate synaptic degeneration in advance of subsequent neuronal loss
