  3. 2. Neutrophil function in health and disease - role of intracellular radicals and galectin-3 as regulators of inflammation

    Författare :Martina Sundqvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; neutrophils; reactive oxygen species; galectin-3; PFAPA;

    Sammanfattning : The focus for this PhD project has been to investigate neutrophil functions in different (inflammatory) settings with specific focus on phagocyte-derived intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as neutrophil interaction with the inflammatory mediator galectin-3. Neutrophils, the most abundant leukocyte in human blood, have traditionally been viewed upon mainly as professional phagocytes, being able to degrade invading microbes, and thus essential in the defence against infection.

  4. 3. Pediatric Autoinflammatory Diseases: Conceptual, Clinical, and Mechanistic Dimensions

    Författare :Per Wekell; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; child; fever; inflammation; cytokines; familial Mediterranean; neutrophils;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis focuses on three paediatric autoinflammatory diseases in Sweden today; familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and cervical adenitis (PFAPA) and synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis (SAPHO). In addition to describing autoinflammation with reference to these diseases, the thesis explores the concept of autoinflammatory disease by examining four existing definitions. LÄS MER
