Plain English summary

A small medical school research project entitled ‘PPI to strengthen clinical and population health research’ caused me to look at an entirely new field – that of Public and Patient Involvement (PPI). PPI is the development of an active partnership between patients and the public and researchers to work alongside each other not just during trial participation but, at each research step.

Internet research and use of materials supplied by my tutors changed my understanding and appreciation for the field of PPI. Coming across the story surrounding gay rights campaigners and development of early PPI inspired me to investigate how it is used it modern studies. It struck me how despite its importance, PPI often went undiscussed in contemporary studies.

However, one study named PROUD used and reported PPI in an exemplary fashion in order to combat issues and strengthen the trial. PROUD’s PPI improved study design, safety and advertising as well as providing reassurance in difficult times. It also improved recruitment, dissemination of information and made sure that results and future research fields were relevant.

Through PROUD and also my own experiences working with a PPI group I was able to develop an understanding and appreciation for the importance PPI. I write with hope to make my learning available to others.

Abstract

A research project during my third year at medical school introduced me to PPI. PPI is defined as research carried out with or by members of the public rather than toabout or for them. Historical gay rights activists’ involvement in research catalysed developments in PPI before it was widely recognised. A contemporary study, PROUD, used exemplary PPI contributions to tackle these issues and make the study successful.

My research project was entitled ‘How did PPI contribute towards the PROUD study & what can be learnt from this?’. This letter aims to answer this question but also include my personal reflections on my work and how I developed an understanding and appreciation for the importance PPI. PubMed and Google were examined, as well as University resources.

Description: This gene encodes one of three enzymes that are involved in metabolizing serine and glycine. L-serine dehydratase converts L-serine to pyruvate and ammonia and requires pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor. The encoded protein can also metabolize threonine to NH4+ and 2-ketobutyrate. The encoded protein is found predominantly in the liver.

Description: SDS-Blue™ is an innovative patented formula, based on Coomassie blue, that comes in a convenient ready to use format for staining proteins in SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulphate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis). The formulation of SDS-Blue™ provides numerous advantages compared to the classic Coomassie staining or to other similar protein stains. SDS-Blue™ provides higher sensitivity, virtually no background and eliminates the need for destaining of the gel due to its high specificity and affinity to bind to protein only. Not only does SDS-Blue™ yield clear and sharp bands, but it also contains no methanol and acetic acid, making it non-hazardous, safe to handle and friendly to the environment when disposed of. Two other advantages that make SDS-Blue™ the better option is that it is not light sensitive and can be stored at ambient temperature for 24 months. And this provides a considerable convenience, especially to laboratories that need and keep big amount of protein staining solutions – no more jammed refrigerators, you can keep SDS-Blue™ wherever it is most convenient for You!

Correspondence with PROUDs lead investigator also informed this letter. It was found that PROUD’s PPI improved study design, safety and advertising as well as providing reassurance in difficult times. It also improved recruitment, dissemination of information and made sure that results and future research fields were relevant. This allows us to understand and appreciate PPI‘s role in research and the provision of healthcare. It is also important to increase discussion and learning around PPI for the future.
