  3. 17. Cervical cancer in Zimbabwe : viral and host factors : studies on pathogenesis of cervical cancer in Zimbabwe with special reference to type-specific human paillomavirus (HPV) infection and human cytokine gene polymorphisms

    Författare :Grazyna Alicja Stanczuk; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Cervical cancer; cytokine gene polymorphism; and ethnic differences; Zimbabwe.;

    Sammanfattning : Invasive cervical cancer (ICC) is the commonest cancer affecting Zimbabwean women. The recognition of the central role of the human papilloma virus (HPV) in the aetiopathogenesis of cervical cancer has led to application of HPV testing in the cervical screening and to the development of HPV vaccines for primary prevention of ICC.

    Sammanfattning : Background and aims: Human papilloma virus (HPV) is a risk factor for anogenital and oropharyngeal cancer (OPSCC) and commonly transmitted sexually although most infections are cleared without adverse effects.

    Sammanfattning : A case-control study of cervical cancer was conducted in Costa Rica, Colombia, Mexico and Panama from 1986 to 1987, to determine risk factors operating in these traditionally high-incidence areas. The study included 759 cases and 1,430 hospital and community controls, and accomplished more than 95% participation rates for both types of participants. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Modulation of the deubiquitinating system in viral infection, lymphoid cell activation and malignant transformation

    Författare :Ulrika Rolén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Most cellular proteins are affected by the conjugation of Ubiquitin (Ub), which may regulate their stability, activity or localization. The family of deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) removes Ub from conjugates and regulates the production and recycling of Ub. LÄS MER
