    Sammanfattning : The vagina is the port of entry for sexually transmitted diseases in women. Its epithelium constitutes the luminal border, thus comprising an important defence barrier. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Gastrointestinal mucosal protective mechanisms : Mudolatory effects of Heliobacter pyroli on the gastric mucus gel barrier and mucosal blood flow in vivo

    Sammanfattning : The gastrointestinal mucus gel layer and blood flow are two important mechanisms for protection at the pre-epithelial and sub-epithelial levels, respectively. Helicobacter pylori might circumvent these mechanisms and elicit a chronic inflammatory response with consequent ulcers in the stomach and duodenum. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Helicobacter pylori and Gastric Protection Mechanisms : An in vivo Study in Mice and Rats

    Författare :Johanna Henriksnäs; Lena Holm; Lars Engstrand; Erik Persson; Lars Fändriks; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physiology; mucus gel layer; mucosal blood flow; mucus thickness; intra-vital microscopy; laser-Doppler flowmetry; pH-sensitive microelectrode; nitric oxide; Helicobacter pylori; bicarbonate secretion; mouse model; Fysiologi; Physiology; Fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : The stomach is frequently exposed to hazardous agents and to resist this harsh environment, several protective mechanisms exist. Of special interest is the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori which causes gastritis, ulcers and cancer but the mechanism leading to these diseases are still unclear. However it is very likely that H. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Oral mucosa keratinocytes and their exosomes for epithelial tissue regeneration

    Författare :Sebastian Sjöqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Early tumors, including high grade dysplasia and intramucosal invasive cancer, of the esophagus can today be removed using endoscopic resection, often using a technique called endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD). This treatment is better tolerated and has considerably less mortality and morbidity compared to conventional, more invasive surgery, which usually entails esophagectomy. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Surgical outcomes of phototherapeutic keratectomy on Epithelial basement membrane dystrophy, and the characterisation of Bowman´s Layer

    Författare :Johan Germundsson; Neil Lagali; Per Fagerholm; Jesper Hjortdal; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background. Epithelial basement membrane dystrophy (EBMD) is a common disease of the anterior cornea that can lead to problems with vision and/or painful recurrent erosions of the corneal epithelium. Several treatment options have been used, but recurrence of EBMD after treatment is a problem. LÄS MER
