  1. 6. Advances in Pharmacological Treatment of Cystic Fibrosis

    Författare :Igor Oliynyk; Godfried M. Roomans; Marie Johannesson; Hugo R. de Jonge; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Cystic fibrosis; CFTR; chloride transport; N-acetylcysteine; NO-donors; duramycin; intracellular calcium; azithromycin; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicin; Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inborn, hereditary disease, due to mutations in the gene for a cAMP-activated chloride (Cl-) channel, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). As a result of impaired ion and water transport,the airway mucus is abnormally viscous, which leads to bacterial colonization. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Midkine - a host defence protein

    Författare :Sara Nordin; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Antimicrobial polypeptides; Midkine; antibacterial; antifungal; innate immunity; epithelial surfaces;

    Sammanfattning : Every day we encounter many potentially harmful microbes in our environment. The epithelial linings constitute an anatomical barrier protecting us and they also produce antimicrobial polypeptides (AMPs) that act as a chemical barrier. These AMPs are small and positively charged, killing a broad range of microbes rapidly. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Aiway Mucins: experimental models for studies of secretions

    Författare :Naila Svitacheva; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cystic fibrosis; bovine trachea; radiolabelling; cell line; primary cell culture; organ culture; mucus; mucin; Endocrinology; secreting systems; diabetology; Endokrinologi; sekretion; diabetologi;

    Sammanfattning : Mucins are essential components of the mucosal barrier. The complexity of the airway mucosal barrier is reflected in the lack of specific treatments to block mucin hypersecretion associated with several respiratory diseases such as chronic bronchitis, asthma and cystic fibrosis.

  5. 9. Microbial biofilms on peritoneal dialysis catheters

    Författare :Maria Pihl; Malmö högskola; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Peritoneal dialysis; Biofilm;

    Sammanfattning : Då njurarna slutar fungera produceras ingen urin, och avfallsprodukterna stannar kvar i blodet. Detta tillstånd kallas uremi (”urin i blodet”) och leder till döden om det inte behandlas. Det finns två artificiella sätt att rena blodet på, hemodialys och peritonealdialys. LÄS MER

  7. 10. The role of exocrine pancreas for feed intake and growth. Studies in a model with exocrine pancreatic insufficient young pigs

    Författare :Olexandr Fedkiv; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; exocrine pancreatic insufficiency; pigs; pancreatic duct ligation; adaptation;

    Sammanfattning : Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), resulting from disease (e.g. cystic fibrosis, chronic pancreatitis) or surgery (e.g. LÄS MER
