Gamma interferon induces different keratinocyte cellular patterns of expression of HLA-DR and DQ and intercellular adhesion molecule-I (ICAM-I) antigens

With indirect immunofluorescence techniques we demonstrated that recombinant gamma-interferon induced the expression of the class II antigens HLA-DR and HLA-DQ as well as intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) on normal, cultured human keratinocytes grown in low-calcium, serum-free medium. Each antigen displayed a distinctive cellular staining pattern. HLA-DR was strongly localized to perinuclear zones with intense cell surface expression; HLA-DQ displayed a perinuclear accentuation, but with minimal cell surface staining, and ICAM-1 was strongly expressed in a diffuse cytoplasmic pattern with intense cell surface expression. Keratinocytes grown in medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum underwent differentiation, with a diminished expression of all three antigens as compared to those grown in low-calcium, serum-free medium. These results confirm that gamma interferon can differentially regulate HLA-DR nd HLA-DQ expression; that there are probably different biochemical metabolic pathways by which these three molecules are expressed on keratinocytes, and that the expression is also a function of the degree of keratinocyte differentiation. The strong cell surface expression of ICAM-1 is suggested to be of major importance as the recognition molecule, by which T cells bind to gamma interferon exposed keratinocytes, and suggests and integral role for this molecule in epidermal lymphocyte trafficking.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/74686/1/j.1365-2133.1989.tb07759.x.pd

Two sides of the coin:Patient and provider perceptions of health care delivery to patients from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds

BACKGROUND: Australia is a culturally diverse nation with one in seven Australians born in a non-English speaking country. Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) populations are at a high risk of developing preventable chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, renal disease, and chronic respiratory disease, especially communities from the Pacific Islands, the Middle East, North Africa, the Indian subcontinent and China. Previous studies have shown that access to services may be a contributing factor. This study explores the experiences, attitudes and opinions of immigrants from different cultural and linguistic backgrounds and their health care providers with regard to chronic disease care. METHODS: Five focus groups were conducted comprising participants from an Arabic speaking background, or born in Sudan, China, Vietnam or Tonga. A total of 50 members participated. All focus groups were conducted in the participants’ language and facilitated by a trained multicultural health worker. In addition, 14 health care providers were interviewed by telephone. Interviews were digitally recorded and transcribed. All qualitative data were analysed with the assistance of QSR NVivo 8 software. RESULTS: Participants were generally positive about the quality and accessibility of health services, but the costs of health care and waiting times to receive treatment presented significant barriers. They expressed a need for greater access to interpreters and culturally appropriate communication and education. They mentioned experiencing racism and discriminatory practices. Health professionals recommended recruiting health workers from CALD communities to assist them to adequately elicit and address the needs of patients from CALD backgrounds. CONCLUSIONS: CALD patients, carers and community members as well as health professionals all highlighted the need for establishing culturally tailored programs for chronic disease prevention and management in CALD populations. Better health care can be achieved by ensuring that further investment in culturally specific programs and workforce development is in line with the number of CALD communities and their needs

Representing Complexity in Part-Whole Relationships within the Foundational Model of Anatomy

The Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) is a frame-based ontology that represents declarative knowledge about the structural organization of the human body. Part-whole relationships play a particularly important role in this representation. In order to assure that knowledge-based applications relying on the FMA as a resource can reason about anatomy, we have modified and enhanced currently available schemes of meronymic relationships. We have introduced and defined distinct partitions for decomposing anatomical structures and attributed the part relationships in order to eliminate ambiguity and enhance specificity in the richness of meronymic relationships within the FMA
