| Abstract: |
| Genetic manipulation is a powerful tool for
selectively altering an element of a key cellular or
molecular pathway in order to study its importance.
It can also turned into a practical therapeutic intervention.
Such approach has been taken in experimental gene
therapy (1) for brain tumour with some promising results,
but application in our neonatal experimental neural
injury paradigms (2-4), by studying the protective
effects of viral gene constructs which direct expression
of anti-apoptotic or down-regulate endogenous pro-apoptotic
molecules inovlved in neural injuries. |

| Abstract: |
| Define the mechanism of neuronal death following
hypoxic-ischaemic (HI) insult is fundamental for designing
new therapeutic strategies to alleviate the long term
sequelae from such insult. Our recent observation
of dramatically decreased brain injury folowing HI
insult in mutant mice without p75NTR has prompted us
to examine in greater details how p75NTR is responsible
for the cell death process. Specifically whether it
is through a ligand (NGF) binding process, or other
known or as yet unknown mechanisms. |

| Department: | Paediatrics
and Adolescent Medicine |
| Source(s) of Funding: | Block

| Start Date: | July 1999 |
| Abstract: |
| To examine the possibility that decreased arterial

| Start Date: | September 2001 |
| Abstract: |
| To determine whether distensibility of arteries
is altered in the presence of iron overloading; to
assess non-invasively the endothelial function of peripheral
conduit arteries in teenagers and young adults with
beta-thalassaemia major; and to interrogate the inter-relationship
between cardiac function (both systolic and diastolic
function) and arterial properties in this patient group. |

| Start Date: | November 2001 |
| Abstract: |
| To determine the cardiovascular risk profie
of patients who has history Kawasaki disease with or
without coronary arterial complications; to compare
the stiffness of both central and peripheral arteries
between patients and healthy children; to relate these
noninasive measures of arterial stiffness to various
cardiovascular risk factors in patients. |
