Jeffery Sivert Tessem and Dr. Byron K. Murray, Microbiology In recent years in both clinical and experimental research the benefits of vitamins as anti-cancer agents have been described. Derivatives of vitamin C have been shown to “diminish the tumor mass in inoperable tumor patients” as well as cause degeneration of hepatocellular carcinoma in rats due […]

Selenium Regulation of NF-κB Binding in Cancerous Human Prostate Epithelial Cells
Wayne K. Nelson and Dr. Merrill Christensen, Food Science and Nutrition According to the National Cancer Institute, prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed nonskin cancer in men. In 1997 alone, it is estimated that 209,900 men were diagnosed as having the disease. Prostate cancer is also the second leading cause of cancer related death […]
DPPG Susceptibility to Human Group X Phospholipase A2
Katrina Behling and Dr. John D. Bell, Zoology Introduction There are eight known isoforms of the mammalian secreted phospholipase A2 (sPLA2). One of these, the recently discovered human group X sPLA2 (hGX), when added to adherent cells, has the ability to cleave the second fatty acid side chain of phospholipids, thereby producing arachidonic acid. Other […]
Production of Cytokines Interleukin-6 and Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha in Human Adrenocortical H295R Cells
Joseph Johnson and Dr. Allan M. Judd, Zoology Difficulties associated with research into the physiology of the human adrenal gland have been alleviated due to the isolation of the human adrenocortical tumor cell-line, NCI-H295R, which retains the ability to produce adrenocortical steroids (e.g. aldosterone, cortisol, DHEA) when grown in culture (1). We investigated whether these […]
Selenium Alters NF- B-Regulated Gene Expression in Human Prostate Cancer Cells
Aimee L Taylor and Dr. Merrill J Christensen, Nutrition, Dietetics and Food Science Introduction The American Cancer Society estimates that prostate cancer will account for 30% of new cancers in men, totaling over 189,000 new cases, with 30,200 deaths in 2002 (1). Because of its high prevalence and long latency time prostate cancer is an […]
Reduction in Toxicity of Doxorubicin by á-Tocopherol Succinate (vitamin E) and Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C) in Human Adenocarcinoma Cells
Christie Michaud and Dr. Byron Murray, Microbiology Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States and doxorubicin, is one of the more widely chemotherapeutic treatments for this disease. This study investigated the possibility of exposing adenocarcinoma cells to vitamin C/vitamin E (VC/VE) combinations as a means to reduce toxicity […]
Concomitant Treatment of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs and Chemotherapeutics on Human Acute T Lymphocytes.
Janet L Hart and Dr. Kim L O’Neill, Microbiology and Molecular Biology Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as sulindac and acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) are frequently used to relieve pain, clotting, fever and inflammation. Recently, NSAIDs have been shown to decrease the occurrence of colorectal cancer and inhibit mammary cancer in rats. To elucidate this mechanism, […]
Humanitarian Art Project for the Orphans of Minsk, Belarus
Julie Bean and Professor Robert Barrett, Visual Arts Through consulting with Brother Dick Ogden at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Humanitarian Center in Salt Lake City, a plan was developed to aid the orphans of Minsk, Belarus. The atmosphere and housing conditions of the Minsk orphanage are grayed by years of neglect. […]
The Influences of International Media on Chilean Media and Their Approaches to Human Rights Issues
Leticia Adams and Dr. Eliza Tanner, Communications Over the past ten years, Chilean media have had more access to international media due to Chile’s expanding telecommunications platform. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether or not international media coverage of human rights (HR) issues influences Chilean media coverage of HR issues. I define […]
Images of Earth and the Human Form
Heather Heiner and Professor Pat Debenham, Dance There is much beauty in the natural world that leaves me, as a dancer, stimulated with choreographic ideas. It was through the collaborative medium of dance and photography that I sought to share those experiences with others. I traveled with three other dancers from the BYU dance department […]
