  1. 21. Study of serotonin, innervation and sensory neuropeptides in allergic contact dermatitis

    Författare :Husameldin El-Nour; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Allergic contact dermatitis; serotonin; sensory neuropeptides; nerve density;

    Sammanfattning : In a murine model of contact allergy, 24 h after challenge with antigen, increased axonal growth using an antibody to growth-associated protein-43 (GAP-43) was seen in the epidermis and dermis of eczematous skin. Protein gene product 9.5 (PGP 9.5) positive nerve fibres tended to increase in the eczematous skin. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Molecular mechanisms and immunomodulatory approaches in acute cystitis

    Författare :Daniel Butler; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Urinary tract infection; acute cystitis; Immunomodulation; IL-1beta; hyper inflammatory disorder; neurokinins;

    Sammanfattning : hand in the fight against resistant microbes. This thesis discusses the feasibility and potential of specific immunotherapy in treating acute bacterial infections and chronic sequels. The infection model is acute cystitis; the most common form of urinary tract infection, affecting millions of patients annually. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Vasomotor symptoms in postmenopausal women : the role of acupuncture and calcitonin gene-related peptide

    Författare :Yvonne Wyon; Britt-Marie Landgren; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : A majority of postmenopausal women experience vasomotor symptoms, which have a significant impact on the women's quality of life. Estrogens are the treatment of choice but can for different reasons not be used by all women. There is therefore a great need for viable alternative treatments. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Contribution of the sensory nervous system : an experimental study in the rat

    Författare :Olle Löfgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :edema; hindpaw withdrawal latency HWL ; inflammation; microcirculation; scalding; sensory nervous system; sensory neuropeptide antagonists; sensory neuropeptides; thermal injury;

    Sammanfattning : The pathophysiological background to burn induced inflammatory reactions is poorly understood and present therapy options are limited. A model of thermal injury was developed to enable investigations of the acute inflammatory reactions in the periphery as well as of the transmission of nociception at the spinal cord level. LÄS MER

  7. 25. In vitro studies on intestinal epithelial cell proliferation : effects of cytokines, Helicobacter pylori, serotonin and neuroendocrine peptides

    Författare :Kristina Zachrisson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Ammonia; Apoptosis; cell culture; cytokines; DNA synthesis; FHs-74 cells; Helicobacter pylori; IEC-6 cells; mitosis; neuroendocrine peptides; organ culture; serotonin;

    Sammanfattning : Previous studies suggest that bacteria and bacterial metabolites, proinflammatory cytokines, neuroendocrine peptides and amines may participate in the regulation of the gastrointestinal-epithelial cell kinetics. The complexity of interactions that take place in vivo makes it difficult to define the primary actions of these and other agents on gastrointestinal cell proliferation. LÄS MER
