  1. 6. Extracellular matrix remodelling proteases in acute appendicitis and their impact on appendiceal perforation

    Författare :Anna Solberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; appendicitis; perforation; extracellular matrix; MMP-9; TIMP-1; uPA; PAI-1;

    Sammanfattning : Abstract Background Appendicitis is associated with varying degradation of extracellular matrix involved in tissue injury. The principal aim of this study was to investigate whether immunoreactive techniques could illustrate the course and severity of appendicitis and separate the different inflammatory grades, phlegmonous, gangrenous and perforated appendicitis, from each other and from uninflamed appendix.

  3. 7. Migration on extracellular matrix surface and infiltration into matrix - two distinguishable activities of human T cells

    Författare :Jyrki Ivanoff; Karl-Gösta Sundqvist; Joachim Lundahl; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunology; extracellular matrix; fibronectin; collagen type IV; laminin; neuropeptide; chemokine; TIMP-1; MMP-9; T cells; Migration; Immunologi; Immunology; Immunologi; Clinical Immunology; klinisk immunologi;

    Sammanfattning : Migration of T-lymphocytes on a surface coated with extracellular matrix (ECM) components (two-dimensional (2-D) migration) and migration (infiltration) into a matrix (Three-dimesional (3-D) migration) are complex events and the underlying mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Here 2-D and 3-D migration were studied by use of seven leukemic T-cell lines representing discrete differentiation stages, a non-leukemic T-cell clone, and normal peripheral blood T cells. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Human ovulation. Studies on collagens, gelatinases and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases

    Författare :Anna Karin Lind; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :ovulation; ovary; human; follicle; collagen; MMP and TIMP;

    Sammanfattning : Ovulation is a highly regulated process, which involves the degradation and rupture of healthy tissue of the ovarian follicle and the extrusion of a fertilizable oocyte. This unique biological process is initiated by the LH-surge, which induces major vascular changes and remodelling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in and around the follicle. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Towards surgical use of matrix metalloproteinase biology

    Författare :Björn Pasternak; Per Aspenberg; Pentti Tengvall; Yrjö T Konttinen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Achilles tendon; colon; tetracyclines; tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases TIMP ; wound healing.; colorectal surgery; extracellular matrix; humans; matrix metalloproteinases MMPs ; rats; surgical anastomosis; sutures; tendon injuries; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi;

    Sammanfattning : Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), such as collagenases, are a family of enzymes capable of degrading most constituents of the extracellular matrix. MMPs are thought to be involved in the aetiopathogenesis of tendon rupture. Additionally, failure of healing has in some instances been associated with elevated levels of MMPs. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Rectal Cancer - Tumor Biology and Prognostic Markers

    Författare :Eva Fernebro; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prognostic markers; Cytology; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer; immunohistochemistry IHC ; chromosomal instability CIN ; microsatellite instability MSI ; tissue microarray TMA ; tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 TIMP-1 ; Rectal cancer; soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor suPAR ;

    Sammanfattning : Colorectal cancer is one of our most common malignancies and the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. About 1/3 of the tumors are located in the rectum. LÄS MER
