1. NHBD Lung Transplantation
Sammanfattning : The waiting list for lung transplantations world-wide is steadily growing. So, the use of lungs from non-heart-beating donors (NHBD) needs to be addressed. Hence, the aim of this thesis was to evaluate, in realistic animal models, the new donor organ concept: NHBD transplantation. LÄS MER
2. Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy : studies on methods for the diagnosis of carcinoma of the lung, bronchial mucosal damage and haemodynamic effects
Sammanfattning : The diagnostic accuracy attained with the use of transbronchial fine needle aspiration biopsy, aspiration of bronchial secretion, bronchial washing, brush biopsy and forceps biopsy via a flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope was compared in patients with carcinoma of the lung. In endoscopic visible tumours the sensitivity of forceps biopsy was higher than that of the other methods. LÄS MER
3. Mast Cell-Mediated Orchestration of Airway Epithelial Responses in Chronic Respiratory Diseases
Sammanfattning : Chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma, are an increasing health issue worldwide and cause about 3.9 million deaths annually. Despite this, little is know about the molecular mechanisms underpinning disease pathogenesis. LÄS MER
4. Functional Proteome analysis of the molecular mechanism of (myo)fibroblast differentiation
Sammanfattning : Tissue remodeling is observed in several physiological conditions such as embryogenesis, senescence, wound healing and pregnancy, as well as in several pathological conditions such as fibrosis and tumorgenesis. Fibroblasts play a key role in this tissue remodeling due to their capability of altering the turnover of the extracellular matrix. LÄS MER
5. The role of nitric oxide in porcine models of asthma and acute lung injury
Sammanfattning : Nitric oxide (NO) is a modulator of many important physiological processes in the body. It is produced endogenously in several cell types by a family of NO synthases (NOS). LÄS MER
