  1. 6. Defense and inflammation by alveolar macrophages in response to inhaled fungi

    Författare :Khairun Nessa; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Alveolar macrophage; Candida and Aspergillus species; C. neoformans; phagocytosis; oxidative metabolism; phagolysosomal pH; cytokines.;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Serious fungal infections have increased notably in patients receiving modern treatment like organ transplantation, parenteral nutrition, long term steroid therapy and broad spectrum antibiotics. Patients with HIV infections and drug addicts also contract fungal infections. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Pulmonary Injury Following Intestinal Ischemia and Reperfusion in Rats

    Författare :Anna Börjesson; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; reperfusion injury; intestinal ischemia; pulmonary injury; endothelium; cytokines; alveolar fluid clearance; leukocytes; orthopaedics; Surgery; traumatology; ortopedi; Kirurgi; traumatologi;

    Sammanfattning : Intestinal ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) is a potentially life-threatening condition, sometimes leading to a systemic inflammatory response and the potential development of the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. The overall aim of the thesis was to study the effects of intestinal I/R on pulmonary function with special emphasis on removal of excess alveolar fluid, pulmonary endothelial barrier permeability, leukocyte accumulation and function, and possible therapeutic strategies to prevent the development of pulmonary injury following intestinal I/R.

  4. 8. Aspects of maxillary sinus reconstruction with endosseous implants

    Författare :John Eric Blomqvist; Lunds universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Odontologi; Odontology; stomatology; sinus inlay bone augmentation.; osteomorphometry; osteometry; maxillary sinus reconstruction; maxilla; bone graft; Alveolar bone loss; dental implants; implant position; bone;

    Sammanfattning : This study of maxillary sinus reconstruction in conjunction with insertion of endosseous implants included 99 patients. Two separate surgical methods were applied; a one-staged strategy (n=49) and a two-staged strategy (n=50). The aims were to compare two different strategies concerning implant and prosthetic construction survival. LÄS MER

  5. 9. On Factors Influencing the Clinical Outcome in Orthognathic Surgery

    Författare :Fredrik Widar; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Orthognathic surgery; Intermaxillary fixation; Iatrogenic root damage; Osteotomy; Sagittal split ramus; Steroid; Hypoesthesia; Inferior alveolar nerve; Risk factors; Smoking; Anaesthesia; Haemodynamic; Remifentanil; Ropivacaine; Recovery;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Background. Orthognathic surgery means surgical correction of dentofacial and congenital deformities, which includes unsatisfactory facial aesthetics, malpositioned teeth, jaw moutcome osurgery. Developments within the invasive surgery and pharmacological modification of inflammatory responses. LÄS MER

  7. 10. The influence of quartz and surfactant on immune responses

    Författare :Göran Zetterberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :alveolar macrophages; complement receptor 1 and 3; interstitial macrophages; Iysophosphatidylcholine; phospholipids; quartz; rats; receptor expression; surfactant.;

    Sammanfattning : Pulmonary surfactant is a mixture of lipids and proteins that embeds the alveolar cells, has surface tension reducing properties but also influences the immune response. To further investigate this, quartz was used to initiate an inflammatory response in two different models. LÄS MER
