  1. 11. Vaginal carcinoma : studies on etiology and prognostic factors

    Författare :Kristina Hellman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Primary vaginal carcinoma; genesis; etiology; prognosis; lammin-5gamma2 chain; CGH; genomic instability; protein expression; hierarchical cluster analysis;

    Sammanfattning : Primary carcinoma of the vagina (PCV) is a rare disease, with poor survival, mostly affecting elderly women. Due to its rarity the established knowledge originates from studies based on small materials, therefore little is known regarding the genesis, natural history and factors predicting the prognosis.

  3. 12. A comparative study of estrogen receptors a and b in the female reproductive tract

    Författare :Hong Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Estrogens have a pronounced influence on the function of the female reproductive system. The regulation of biological processes by estrogens is mediated via specific intracellular receptors (ERs), ERalpha and ERbeta, which function as regulators of transcriptional activity. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Antimicrobial activity of human seminal plasma and seminal plasma proteins

    Författare :Anneli Edström; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; semenogelin; antibacterial peptides; antifungal peptides; seminal plasma; antimicrobial peptides; vaginal pH; beta-microseminoprotein; peptides;

    Sammanfattning : Seminal plasma is semen without the spermatozoa. Human seminal plasma is a complex mixture of secretions from the sex accessory glands, mainly the seminal vesicles and the prostate. Seminal plasma has high protein content and it also contains ions, sugars and low molecular weight components. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : The management of rectal cancer has changed in many countries over the last two decades and resulted in improved survival for the majority of rectal cancer patients. In this thesis some surgical strategies and histopathological aspects to improve and clarify the management of rectal cancer patients are investigated. LÄS MER

  7. 15. The Gut Bacterial Flora - Focus on Early Life and Physiological Traits

    Författare :Caroline Linninge; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gut microbiota; atopic eczema; inflammation; bacterial diversity; Escherichia coli; Lactobacillus plantarum; molecular-genetic methods;

    Sammanfattning : The gastrointestinal tract of the foetus is considered sterile but during vaginal birth the neonate comes into contact with bacteria from the maternal vaginal and intestinal microbiota. The main focus of this doctoral thesis was to elucidate the initial bacterial ecosystem in newborns and to relate microbial perturbations to physiological traits. LÄS MER
