Abstract/Description

Prostate cancer after many years is still the second most common cancer in American men with about 233,000 new cases and 29,480 deaths estimated to be occurring in 2014. Despite the wide spectra of reports demonstrating the anti-cancer phytotherapeutic potentials of beta-lapachone and soybean-derived genistein in various tumors, little emphasis had been placed on their synergistic effects in androgen-independent PC3 and androgen-dependent LNCaP prostate cancer cell lines.

Show moreProstate cancer after many years is still the second most common cancer in American men with about 233,000 new cases and 29,480 deaths estimated to be occurring in 2014. Despite the wide spectra of reports demonstrating the anti-cancer phytotherapeutic potentials of beta-lapachone and soybean-derived genistein in various tumors, little emphasis had been placed on their synergistic effects in androgen-independent PC3 and androgen-dependent LNCaP prostate cancer cell lines. In this study, we aim to characterize the combined effects of genistein and b-lapachone on the phyto/chemosensitivity of LNCaP and PC3 human prostate cancer cells in-vitro, using MTT assay and LDH assay to study treatment-induced growth inhibition and cytotoxicity. Annexin-V-FITC and PI-TUNEL assays were also used to determine the potential treatment-induced apoptosis and/or necrosis. Our results revealed that both PC3 and LNCaP are phytosensitive to both single and combined treatments, though time-and dose-dependent. We observed that our treatments induced dual death pathways-apoptosis and necrosis-in both cell types and also observed that growth inhibition in both correlated positively with cell death in which, b-lapachone and genistein induced cell cycle arrest at the G1 and/or S phase and G2–M checkpoints respectively. Invariably, our results indicate that combination treatments with b-lapachone and genistein are more potent in killing both PC3 and LNCaP cancer cells than treatment with either genistein or b-lapachone alone. Our current results are therefore in agreement with the hypothesis that drugcombinations that target cell cycles at different critical checkpoints are more effective in causing cell death.

Show moreThis thesis project will explore the role of visual design in the interaction of two different cultures from two extremely different countries: Iran and the United States of America. Each has a particular politic relation to each other in history. I want to explore design’s role comparatively in illustrating and displaying the visual cultural subjects of both countries, their communication, and how the two cultures impact each other. Some of the effects on culture are integrated with technology and tradition too. Particularly tradition, which is part of the root of one’s culture, slowly becomes obsolete due to turning into technology and becoming modern. So sometimes we encounter with exchanging or replacing cultures. Moreover, since social culture and personal culture play a crucial role in personal identity, assimilating with a different society brings about various identities too. In my opinion immigrant people such as myself, as an international student from Iran, are a good example to represent the clash and combination of two cultures and how one adapts and work in accord these cultures. The overall intent of this project is to utilize graphic design to design of series of seven to ten objects as a product packages or consumer artifacts along with advertisement based on visualizing the communication and interaction of these specific countries’ culture. It will demonstrate similarities and differences through visual comparison, collation, and confronting of cultural and social elements through the visual language and the tools of design.

Abstract/Description

Iran’s long history of pottery making goes back ten thousand years, and it is as diverse as the country’s geography and ethnic composition. Clay as a material connects contemporary Iranian society to its ancient roots, and it permeates daily life in terms of the economy, technology and even gender roles.

Show moreIran’s long history of pottery making goes back ten thousand years, and it is as diverse as the country’s geography and ethnic composition. Clay as a material connects contemporary Iranian society to its ancient roots, and it permeates daily life in terms of the economy, technology and even gender roles. This presentation focuses on the lives of three women potters in northern and western Iran, one in the village of Jirdeh Central Gillan province, another in the village of khomar Mahaleh East Gillan, and the third outside of the City of Marand West Azerbaijan province. Each woman represents a particular genre of handmade pottery from functional to sculptural work, and she establishes a unique identity in terms of production, commercial distribution and her personal relationship to the social and geographic environment. A selection of interviews, photographs and video clips taken during the summer of 2012 illustrate how these women work and thrive in their leadership, independence and creative artistry. Key concepts include: 1 Land place, home, 2 Technique and work process, 3 Gender roles, 4 Tradition and why their works are considered traditional, and 5 Authenticity and what makes their works authentic. The solitude that separates and yet connects these women offers a contrast to the nature of ceramics in the contemporary art world of Tehran and also opens a dialog for gender and feminist issues that are relevant to study of art technology, design and the roles of women in Iranian society today.
