  1. 16. Kinin System Activation in Vasculitis

    Författare :Robin Kahn; Lund Pediatrik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; kinin receptors; inflammation; vasculitis; proteinase 3; neutophils; anti-neutrophil-cytoplasmic antibodies; Kinin;

    Sammanfattning : The kinin system is activated when high-molecular-weight kininogen (HK) is cleaved by plasma kallikrein thus generating bradykinin. Bradykinin is a potent proinflammatory peptide that induces plasma leakage, blood pressure drop, liberation of inflammatory cytokines and pain. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Arterial Injury due to Infections in Early Life-A Possible Link in Coronary Heart Disease (Functional and Structural Studies in Animals and Children)

    Författare :Petru Liuba; Lund Pediatrik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pediatri; Pediatrics; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Cardiovascular system; cardiovascular risk factors; thickening; infection; endothelial dysfunction;

    Sammanfattning : Although the clinical manifestations of atherosclerotic CHD occur in adult life, the preclinical phase begins long before, seemingly already in childhood. There is supportive evidence from both epidemiological studies and animal experiments that infections could contribute to the pathogenesis of arterial disease, including atherosclerosis. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Effects of inflammatory mediators on human osteoblasts

    Författare :Anders Frost; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Orthopaedics; ortopedi;

    Sammanfattning : Inflammatory mediators produced in or adjacent to bone have implications on bone and may induce both osteolysis and/or osteosclerosis. Inflammatory cytokines mediate these effects by acting either directly or indirectly on the bone cells. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Neutrophil subsets in airway inflammation and hyperreactivity

    Författare :Sandra Ekstedt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Neutrophils are part of the first lines of defence against invading microbes. They play an essential role in antimicrobial host defence by recognizing microorganisms through the various receptors that can be expressed on their surfaces. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Host response in sepsis

    Författare :Ingrid Berkestedt; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; severe sepsis; contact system; glycosaminoglycan; antimicrobial peptide; human;

    Sammanfattning : Sepsis is a serious condition characterized by a systemic inflammatory response to an infection. Increased vascular leakage, vasodilation and heart failure cause circulatory disturbances challenging the intensivist. Despite modern medication and high technology supportive care, mortality is high. LÄS MER
