  1. 21. Neuropeptides and neurotransmitters in keratocytes : importance in corneal wound healing processes

    Författare :Marta Sloniecka; Patrik Danielson; May Griffith; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; substance P; acetylcholine; migration; proliferation; apoptosis; corneal stroma;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The cornea is the outermost transparent layer of the eye and it is responsible for the majorityof the eye’s total focusing power. Keratocytes are the resident cells of the corneal stroma and their function isto produce extracellular matrix components and to take part in corneal healing after injury, which may occurdue to trauma, infection or surgery.

  3. 22. Epigenetic Dysregulations in the Brain of Human Alcoholics : Analysis of Opioid Genes

    Författare :Igor Bazov; Georgy Bakalkin; Catharina Lavebratt; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; neuropeptides; dynorphin; human brain; alcohol dependence; epigenetics; gene transcription;

    Sammanfattning : Neuropeptides are special in their expression profiles restricted to neuronal subpopulations and low tissue mRNA levels. Genetic, epigenetic and transcriptional mechanisms that define spatiotemporal expression of the neuropeptide genes have utmost importance for the formation and functions of neural circuits in normal and pathological human brain.

  4. 23. The upper gastrointestinal tract in chronic alcoholics

    Författare :Truls Hauge; Lund Medicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; alkaline phosphatase; mucosal bacterial growth; Helicobacter pylori; morphology; upper gastrointestinal endoscopy; chronic alcoholics; upper gastrointestinal tract; gamma-glutamyl transferase; neuropeptides.; Gastro-enterology; Gastroenterologi;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Gastrointestinal symptoms such as dyspepsia, diarrhoea, and nausea are often seen in alcoholics. The causes are not clear. The stomach and upper small intestine are exposed to high alcohol concentrations. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Acupuncture in reproductive medicine. Applications in human assisted reproduction and aspects of clinical and experimental neuroendocrinology

    Författare :Elisabet Stener-Victorin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; electro-acupuncture; blood flow impedance; circulation; uterine artery; in-vitro fertilization; oocyte aspiration; polycystic ovary syndrome; experimentally induced PCO; anovulation; gonadotropins; steroids; neuropeptides; b-endorphin; nerve growth factor; corticotropin-releasing factor.;

    Sammanfattning : The use of acupuncture in the area of reproductive medicine is relatively new, and it has been rather poorly investigated in the past. When muscle afferents are stimulated by acupuncture in somatic segments related to the innervation of the ovaries and the uterus, functional changes occur in the neural substrate that may influence reproductive function and result in peripheral, segmental and central effects.

  7. 25. Towards a Translational Pain Model - Techniques and developments

    Författare :Leila Etemadi; Neuronano Research Center (NRC); []
    Nyckelord :UVB irradiation; Pain; Neuropeptides; Inflammation; Contralateral; Lateral spinal nucleus; Micro-array electrodes; Pan-neuronal markers; immunohistochemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Pain is a major health issue for each affected individual and has a large impact on health costs. Most of our knowledge about this defensive system rely on data from different animal experiments. There is an obvious need for a translational pain model allowing comparisons between experimental animals and humans. LÄS MER
