Fabrication and evaluation of a tyrosine-derived polycarbonate conduit to enhance functional recovery of a 5 mm peripheral nerve gap in a mouse femoral nerve model
No full textEach year, over 200,000 people in the United States are treated for peripheral nerve injuries requiring surgery. Several nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) have been approved by the FDA, however, when used to repair critical size defects, regeneration results in limited functional recovery and poor quality. Therefore, a conduit fabricated from a material encouraging regeneration, specifically enhancing neurite outgrowth and functional recovery is required. Tyrosine-derived polycarbonates (TyrPCs) are biodegradable and biocompatible polymers offering a unique chemistry that allows for the optimization of their chemical, mechanical, and cellular properties for a specific application. These materials have been used in several medical devices and are effective at supporting neurite outgrowth in vitro. Additionally, peptide mimics of HNK-1 elucidated by the Schachner laboratory show significant promise when used in soluble form within conduits used to treat short defects. For critical size defects, soluble HNK-1 may not suffice; the mimic may diffuse away from the injury site. Thus, the goal of this research was twofold: 1) to develop a TyrPC NGC to treat critical size nerve defects and 2) to establish alternative methods of HNK-1 delivery. Three methods were explored: a collagen hydrogel filler grafted with HNK-1 (developed and provided by the Shreiber laboratory), the secretion of HNK-1 from genetically engineered stem cells, and slow release of HNK-1 from the NGC outer walls. TyrPC was compared to commercially available polyethylene in vitro and conduits fabricated from both materials were evaluated in the mouse femoral nerve model. In vitro results indicated greater protein adsorption and neurite outgrowth on TyrPC as compared to polyethylene. In vivo results showed improved functional recovery and quality of nerve regeneration in animals treated with TyrPC and suggested greater Schwann cell presence and fibrin matrix formation. Furthermore, in vitro results confirmed usefulness of 2 new methods for HNK-1 delivery, release from stem cells and the NGC itself. In vivo studies demonstrated that the influence of a collagen hydrogel with and without HNK-1 depends upon the TyrPC nerve conduit structure: whether or not the conduit was porous. In conclusion, conduits fabricated from TyrPC offer the potential for treatment of critical size nerve gaps.Ph. D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Mindy Iris Ezr
Exploring the Practicality of Portable EEG Equipment for Visualising Emotional Responses When Listening to Meaningful Songs: A Position Paper
No full textPortable EEG technologies have gained popularity in investigating the effect of music on people’s emotional responses by affective neuroscience, music psychology, and music therapy researchers. This paper provides a brief overview of current literature on music, emotion, and EEG, and a reflection on Kim’s use of one portable EEG technology (Emotiv Insight) to explore distressed young people’s emotional responses during intentional listening of their meaningful songs. Inconsistent results in Kim’s study and across music and emotion research studies revealed the reality of the still-emerging state of EEG technologies and thus, researchers should approach the tool with vigilance and some suspicion. In our experiment, the Emotiv Insight offered distressed young people novel and interesting opportunities to reflect on their emotional distress with a new lens. However, distressed young people did not perceive that the EEG visual data actually represented the complexity of their emotional worlds. Rather, they suggested that listening to their meaningful songs, selecting emotion-related words from self-report scales, and discussing their emotions with someone was more useful to better understand their emotional worlds.

Exploring property driven design fabrication through materials testing and software development
No full textThesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2010.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Cataloged from student submitted PDF version of thesis. Vita.Includes bibliographical references (p. 33).Since its introduction in the late 1980s, layered manufacturing has become an increasingly efficient and common means to delivering functional and visually representative prototypes in relatively short amounts of time from previously prepared Computer-Aided Design files. However, most layered manufacturing technologies today produce only single material, constant property prototypes from a limited array of materials. In this project, we explore a different approach to layer manufacturing, namely, a layered manufacturing product that, while using a single material, produces an entity of varying material properties. Materials testing of PMC®-724 demonstrate the material's capacity to possess a range of Shore A Hardness over a range of elasticity, illustrating the potential for printing with variable property materials. Moreover, we will also explore a new approach to fabrication that challenges the concept of Computer- Aided Manufacturing (CAM) by introducing a software application that, rather than providing a means of digitizing the geometry of a completed design, allows engineers and designers to create and design structures that are defined at various points by their material behavior as opposed to their geometry. As a proof of concept demonstration, a mono-material, variable property shoe sole will be printed using property-mapped polyurethane elastomer PMC®-724 with the new software.by Mindy Eng.S.B
