1. The Tyrosine Kinase GTK : Signal Transduction and Biological Function
Sammanfattning : Protein tyrosine kinases play an important role in the regulation of various cellular processes such asgrowth, differentiation and survival. GTK, a novel SRC-like cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase, was recently cloned from a mouse insulinoma cell line and the present work was conducted in order to find a biological function of GTK in insulin producing and neuronal cells.

2. Glucose metabolism in patients with exocrine pancreatic adenocarcinoma
Sammanfattning : Carc.inoma of the exocrine pancreas is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in the Western world and the survival rate is one of the lowest for cancers of any site. Pancreatic cancer is characterized by pronounced, early cachexia and frequent metabolic complications. LÄS MER
3. Surgical methods in treating pancreatic tumours
Sammanfattning : Background: In patients with pancreatic cancer 15-20% are resectable at the time of diagnosis. Still another 8-20% are found to be unresectable at laparotomy. The optimal intraoperative strategy for this group is not known. Some patients experience early recurrence of the cancer indicating undetected advanced disease at the time of surgery. LÄS MER
4. Effects of Pancreatic Surgery : Quality of Life, Cost-effectiveness and Postoperative Results
Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND Pancreatic operations are large procedures with high rates of complications and other potentially impactful consequences such as diabetes and pancreatic exocrine insufficiency. Due to this, and due to the fact that the operations are often occasioned by periampullary tumours with a poor prognosis, it is important to evaluate how the operations affect patients in terms of postoperative results and quality of life.

5. Role of Islet Endothelial Cells in β-cell Function and Growth
Sammanfattning : The pancreatic islets are collections of endocrine cells, dispersed throughout the pancreas. In adult islets, endocrine cells are closely associated with capillary endothelial cells and receive a high blood perfusion. Transplanted pancreatic islets, on the other hand, have a vascular disturbance, manifested as decreased blood vessel density. LÄS MER
