  1. 21. Studies on cellular changes and amnesia in a rat model of electroconvulsive therapy

    Författare :Linda Jansson; Lund Psykiatri; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; electroconvulsive seizures; angiogenesis; glial cell activation; amnesia; lithium;

    Sammanfattning : Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a well-established treatment for severe depressive disorder, but its clinical use has been limited by concerns about side effects such as memory disturbances. Despite over 70 years in clinical use, the exact mechanisms of action behind the therapeutic or adverse effects are not fully understood. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Chronic hepatitis B : immunological, virological and clinical aspects in the natural course and during the combined prednisolone and interferon-alpha-2b therapy

    Författare :Guo-Zhong Fei; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :HBV; IgM and IgG anti-preS2; IgM anti-HBc; CD4 CD8 ratio; lymphocyte subpopulations; HBV DNA; ALT; chronic hepatitis; prednisolone; interferon-alpha;

    Sammanfattning : The aims of this study were to characterize the IgM and IgG antibody responses to well-defined B-cell epitopes within the preS2 region of the HBV envelope proteins in sera from Chinese and Caucasian patients with chronic HBV infection in relation to viral load and liver disease activity. In addition, the effects of the combined prednisolone and interferon- alpha-2b therapy on these parameters, as well as on the peripheral lymphocyte subsets, were studied in Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis B.

  4. 23. Array based genetic profiling of bone and soft tissue tumors

    Författare :Karolin Hansén Nord; Avdelningen för klinisk genetik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, genetic alterations in bone and soft tissue tumors have been investigated with the purpose of identifying regions of importance for tumor development, diagnosis and prognosis. This has primarily been performed by array comparative genomic hybridization analysis and gene expression profiling of cytogenetically analyzed tumors. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Analysis of Genetic Alterations in Patients Affected with Neurofibromatosis Type 2 and its Associated Tumors

    Författare :Caisa Marie Hansson; Jan P. Dumanski; Juha Kere; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; Neurofibromatosis type 2; schwannoma; schwannomatosis; meningioma; array-CGH; chromosome 22; DNA copy number variation; methylation; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is an autosomal dominant disorder with the clinical hallmark of bilateral vestibular schwannomas (VS). Patients affected by a severe NF2 phenotype also presents with peripheral schwannomas, meningiomas and ependymomas. The closely related disorder schwannomatosis also displays multiple schwannomas, but never VS. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Linkage and association analysis in multiple sclerosis

    Författare :Yamei Dai; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system, which is characterized by relapsing or progressive demyelinating plaques in the brain and spinal cord. It is well established that complex genetic factors influence susceptibility to MS. LÄS MER
