  1. 6. Radiation induced pneumonitis : clinical and experimental studies with special emphasis on the effect of smoking

    Författare :Kenneth Nilsson; Leif Bjerner; roger Henriksson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pneumonitis; irradiation; bronchoalveolar lavage; breast cancer; interstitial lung disease; hyaluronan; mast cell; smoking;

    Sammanfattning : Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is an established method providing diagnostic support and evaluation of disease activity in interstitial lung disease (ILD). The aims of the present investigation were 1) to study the inflammatory response in pneumonitis evoked by irradiation. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Cystic fibrosis in adults. Diagnostic, epidemiologic and quality-of-life aspects

    Författare :Marita Gilljam; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cystic fibrosis; Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator; Pregnancy; Male infertility; Bronchoalveolar lavage; Quality of life; Questionnaire;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a severe hereditary disease. The type of mutation in the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene will determine the degree of CFTR chloride channel malfunction. LÄS MER

  4. 8. T cells in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

    Författare :Ester Roos-Engstrand; Anders Blomberg; Anders Bucht; Annelie F Behndig; Magnus Sköld; Claes-Göran Löfdahl; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; airway epithelium; bronchoscopy; bronchoalveolar lavage; endobronchial mucosal biopsies; inflammation; flow cytometry; T lymphocytes; CD25; CD127; FoxP3; Lung diseases; Lungsjukdomar; lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Tobacco smoking is the main cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD, but the mechanisms by which cigarette smoke induces COPD are still elusive. T lymphocytes have been implicated in the pathogenesis of the disease, but their role in the airway inflammation in COPD is not fully understood. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Endotoxin-induced inflammation in healthy human airways

    Författare :Margaretha E. Smith; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; LPS; neutrophils; bronchoalveolar lavage; human airways; innate immunity;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to investigate the innate immune response in healthy human airways in vivo after simulation of a Gram-negative infection. Intrabronchial exposure to the TLR4 agonist endotoxin was used as a model for the innate mechanisms in the immune response that are caused by cigarette smoke and by natural infection with Gram-negative bacteria.

  7. 10. Open and closed endotracheal suctioning. Experimental and human studies

    Författare :Sophie Lindgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :suctioning; endotracheal; closed system suctioning; monitoring; lung volume; airway pressure; lung recruitment; bronchoalveolar lavage; acute lung injury;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The practice of endotracheal suctioning of ventilator treated patients is necessary to remove secretions to prevent obstruction of the endotracheal-tracheal tube and lower airways. This very common procedure creates a large variety of heart-lung interferences. LÄS MER
