  1. 1. The Role of Zinc in Leishmaniasis and Tuberculosis

    Författare :Miguel Guzman; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Nyckelord :Cutaneous leishmaniasis; tuberculosis; zinc supplementation; lymphocytes; cell proliferation; INF-γ; CD4 CD8 ratio;

    Sammanfattning : The synergistic relation between nutritional deficiency and infection may have negative effects on the immune system, making individuals more vulnerable to infection. Zinc can affect the resistance to infections by modulating cytokine release, and by acting as a cofactor of thymulin, which induces the differentiation of immature T lymphocytes. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Lipooligosaccharide and Cytolethal distending toxin of Haemophilus ducreyi and antibody responses

    Författare :Annika Lundqvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Haemophilus ducreyi; lipooligosaccharide; cytolethal distending toxin;

    Sammanfattning : The Gram-negative bacterium Haemophilus ducreyi causes chancroid, a sexually transmitted infection characterized by persistent ulcers on genitals. The disease is prevalent in developing countries and facilitates transmission and acquisition of HIV. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Cervical and intra-amniotic markers of preterm birth and infection

    Författare :Rose-Marie Holst; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :spontaneous preterm delivery; intra-amnioti infection inflammation; preterm labor; inflammatory proteins; preterm prelabor rupture of membranes; histological chorioamnionitis; cervical and amniotic markers;

    Sammanfattning : Abstract Background: Preterm delivery (PTD; < 37 gestational weeks), is one of the greatest unsolved obstetrical problems worldwide. As much as 80% of the perinatal mortality and 50% of the long-term neurological handicaps are associated with PTD. Spontaneous preterm birth (SPTD), i.e. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Human embryonic stem cells for bone engineering applications

    Författare :Giuseppe Maria de Peppo; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Human skeleton; bone; bone defects; bone regeneration; regenerative medicine; tissue engineering; biomaterials; scaffold; biocoral; titanium; osseointegration bioreactor; human stem cells; embryonic stem cells; mesenchymal stem cells; embryonic-derived progenitors; osteogenic differentiation; mineralization; immune response; in vitro; in vivo;

    Sammanfattning : The human skeleton represents the supporting structure of the organism and accounts for about 20 percent of the total body mass. Despite its intrinsic capacity to regenerate and self-repair, this ability is limited and repair therapies are needed in a large number of clinical cases. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Pathophysiological aspects of transplantation-related complications following busulphan/cyclophosphamide conditioning regimen in mouse model

    Författare :Sulaiman Al-Hashmi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Busulfan;

    Sammanfattning : Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative treatment for several malignant and non-malignant disorders. However, transplantation related morbidity and mortality limit its use. The complications of the HSCT procedure can be caused by several factors including toxicity of the conditioning regimen and allogeneicity. LÄS MER
