Catheter-associated infections, most of which are caused by microbial biofilms, are still a serious issue in healthcare and are associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and excessive medical costs. Currently, the use of nanostructured materials, especially materials with nano featured topographies, which have more surface area, altered surface energy, enhanced select protein adsorption, and selectively increased desirable cell functions while simultaneously decreasing competitive cell functions, seem to be among the most promising ways for reducing initial bacteria attachment, biofilm formation, and infections. In this study, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), a commonly used polymeric catheter material, was formulated to mimic the nanopatterned topography of natural tissue by using a template method with nanotubular anodized titanium. Results showed that increased PDMS surface nanoscale roughness alone can inhibit both Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria adhesion and growth for up to 2 days, the time length of the current study. Additionally, increased fibroblast and endothelial cell adhesion on nano-PDMS indicated that this nanoscale topography had no toxic effects toward mammalian cells. Mechanistically, this study also developed a model for the first time to correlate bacteria responses to nanoscale roughness with initial protein and biomolecule adsorption (specifically, casein protein and glucose, which are unique biomolecules that mediate bacteria functions). Data revealed that the increase in nanoscale roughness and associated energy contributed to greater select casein adsorption during the first several minutes of culture, which is critical for decreasing bacteria attachment and growth. In contrast, no significant differences for glucose adsorption between samples before and after nanofabrication were identified. These results together indicated that the present biomimetic nanopatterned PDMS surface without any chemical or antibiotic modification has the potential to combat catheter-associated infections and should be further investigated.

Investigaton of chemopreventive properties of Urtica Dioica L., in MCF-7 and MDA231 breast cancer cell lines
Güler, Elif; İşcan, Mesude; Department of Biology (2011)
Cancer is a major health problem in developing world with mostly unsufficient treatment. Cancer prevention through dietary modification appears to be a practical and cost effective possibility. The aim of present study is to investigate the chemical components of “Urtica diocia,L (U. diocia) grown in Turkey” and the possible protective potential of its aqueous extract against breast cancer cell lines. U. diocia was extracted by maceration method which was performed for 6,12, 24, and 36 hours, at 50°C, 37°C,...
A Framework for design and personalization of digital, just-in-time, adaptive interventions
Gönül, Suat; Coşar, Ahmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2018)
Adverse and suboptimal health behaviors and chronic diseases are responsible from a substantial majority of deaths globally. Studies show that personalized support programs yield better results in overcoming these undesired behaviors and diseases. Digital, just-in-time, adaptive interventions are mobile phone-based notifications that are being used to support people wherever and whenever needed in coping with the health problem. In this study, a framework is proposed for design and personalization of such i...
Preparation of a Nano-patterned Polymer Replica for Reducing Catheter-associated Infections
Lıu, Lutıng; Ercan, Batur; Sun, Lınlın; Webster, Thomas (null; 2015-12-31)
Nowadays, catheter-associated infections are the most serious and costly of all healthassociated infections. [1] Recent studies have suggested a sensitivity of cell and bacteria to nano-scale topographical properties as a potential tool for selectively increasing desirable cell functions while simultaneously decreasing competitive cell functions. [2] Here, we presented a simple and cheap method to prepare a nano-patterned polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS, a commonly used catheter material) replica by using highly...
Characterization of liposomal celecoxib formulation as a drug delivery system in colorectal cancer cell lines
Erdoğ, Aslı; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biotechnology (2012)
Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) is one of the most common cancers and is the leading cause of cancer deaths in much of the developed world. Owing to the high incidence of drug resistance and potential toxic effects of chemotherapy drugs, much research is currently underway to design better strategies for smart drug delivery systems. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) pathway is associated with poor prognosis in colon carcinomas. The selective COX-2 inhibitor drug Celecoxib (CLX) has been shown to posses COX-2 independent ...
IMPLEMENTATION OF A PATIENT EMPOWERMENT PLATFORM FOR INTEGRATED CARE
Sarıgül, Bünyamin; Aydın Son, Yeşim; Laleci Ertürkmen, Gökçe Banu; Department of Bioinformatics (2022-2-11)
While the number of chronic disease patients are increasing with the aging population, their complex treatments are a burden in today’s healthcare systems both economically and technically. Integrated care systems are one of the most powerful modern technologies to overcome these difficulties and provide more efficient treatments. Integrated care enables planning the chronic disease treatments in a sustainable and collaborative way for healthcare professionals from various disciplinaries. It also helps care...
