  1. 16. Urinary tract infection : pathogenesis and complications

    Författare :Olof Hertting; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Urinary tract infections (UTI) are one of the most common infections in women and children worldwide. If not diagnosed and treated appropriately, it may lead to severe illness and long-term complications. The economic impact caused by UTI on society is significant. In addition, bacterial resistance to common antibiotics is spreading at a high rate. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Innate immune response in human endothelial cells : characterization and regulation of E-selectin, ICAM-I and cytokine expression and the role of Staphylococcus aureus

    Författare :Jan Strindhall; Åsa Ljungh; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Endothelial cells located on the vessel walls play an important role in inflammation. In response to cytokines or other inflammatory mediators such as microorganisms, endothelial cells express cell adhesion molecules such as E-selectin and ICAM-1 that are involved in binding circulating leukocytes to the endothelium.

  4. 18. Mediators of cervical ripening in preterm birth : experimental and clinical investigations

    Författare :Susanne Abelin Törnblom; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Cervix; preterm; cervical ripening; cytokines; chemokines; cyclooxygenase COX ; prostaglandin dehydrogenase PGDH ; induction; labour; nitric oxide; PgE2-gel; pregnancy; preterm labour;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Preterm birth (PTB) is by far the leading worldwide cause of infant mortality and morbidity. Despite decades of research, the frequency of PTB has not decreased and the basic mechanisms initiating the onset of labour are still poorly understood. Vaginal preterm birth cannot take place without cervical softening and remodelling. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Cytokine-regulated eosinophil migration in inflammatory disorders : Clinical and experimental studies

    Författare :Maria Lampinen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medical sciences; Eosinophil; cytokine; migration; inflammation; asthma; allergy; inflammatory bowel disease; ulcerative colitis; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Clinical Chemistry; klinisk kemi;

    Sammanfattning : The accumulation of eosinophil granulocytes (EOS) at sites of inflammation is a common feature of astma, allergic rhinitis and inflammatory bowel disease. The aim of the present investigation was to study the mechanisms involved in this accumulation. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Chemotactic factors in the human follicle at ovulation

    Författare :Eva Runesson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; chemokine; follicle; gonadotropin; human; ovary; ovulation;

    Sammanfattning : Ovulation is initiated by the midcycle gonadotropin surge, which leads to a controlled degradation of the follicle wall ending in follicular rupture and oocyte extrusion. The gonadotropins triggers several biochemical and biophysical changes such as vascular alterations, increased proteolytic enzyme activity and leukocyte extravasation, within the preovulatory follicle.
