1. 1. New apheresis techniques in transplantation

   Författare :Gunilla Kumlien; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : The shortage of organs for transplantation is a global problem and therefore it is of outmost importance to increase the number of donations and improve long term graft survival. As an effort to increase kidney donations, living kidney donors are being increasingly used and both patient and graft survival is superior after living donation compared with kidney transplantations using organs from deceased donors.

3. 2. Plasma as a Therapeutic Principle in Clinical Practice : With Special Reference to Sweden

   Författare :Rut A C Norda; Bo Nilsson; Bernd G Stegmayr; Kristina Nilsson-Ekdahl; Volker Kretschmer; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Immunology; adverse effects; contact activation; plasma exchange; plasma storage; severe sepsis; therapeutic apheresis; transfusion; Immunologi;

   Sammanfattning : The newly established Swedish Apheresis Registry makes it possible to do national inter-center comparisons. This study was undertaken to describe and analyze the use of therapeutic apheresis and the adverse effects in such therapy. LÄS MER

4. 3. Selenoprotein P. Nutritional and clinical aspects

   Författare :Marie Persson Moschos; Tillämpad biokemi; []

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis, the nutritional regulation and clinical significance of selenoprotein P (SeP) in human plasma of healthy and diseased subjects was investigated. For the analysis of SeP, a radioimmunoassay was developed using polyclonal antibodies. LÄS MER

5. 4. On the regulation of hepatic cholesterol and bile acid metabolism in gallstone patients

   Författare :Carl-Gustaf Hillebrant; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Bile acid synthesis; biliary lipids; cholesterol synthesis; cholesterol 7a-hydroxylase; cholesterol synthesis inhibitor; chenodeoxycholic acid; cholestyramine; 7a-hydroxy-4-cholesten-3-one; HMG CoA reductase; lathosterol; lipoproteins; lithocholic acid; plasma apheresis; ursodeoxycholic acid;

   Sammanfattning : The liver plays an important role in the regulation of cholesterol homeostasis, therefore also in the pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis and gallstone disease. The quantitatively most important way by which cholesterol is removed from the human body is via the bile, either as free cholesterol or after transformation to bile acids. LÄS MER

7. 5. Interventional studies on immunological balance in IBD and allergic asthma

   Författare :Vladislaw Muratov; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : We have studied a role of immunological balance in connection to allergen challenge in asthma patients and in connection to apheresis treatment in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. It has been suggested that T-helper type 2 cells become recruited into the bronchial mucosa and regulate allergic asthma reaction. LÄS MER
