  1. 1. Arachidonic acid metabolism in corneal epithelial cells : Identification of lipoxygenase isoforms

    Författare :Maria Liminga; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutical biosciences; Cornea; cDNA cloning; lipoxygenase; liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry; organ culture; Farmaceutisk biovetenskap; Biopharmacy; Biofarmaci; farmaceutisk farmakologi; Pharmaceutical Pharmacology;

    Sammanfattning : The metabolism of arachidonic acid in the human cornea was investigated and compared with the metabolism in cattle and primates. All three species showed significant arachidonic acid metabolism inthe epithelium, whereas the activity in the stroma and the endothelium was low or undetectable. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Infectious keratitis : causative microorganisms and how to detect them

    Författare :Susanna Sagerfors; Bo Söderquist; Birgitta Ejdervik Lindblad; Jesper Hjortdal; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Infectious keratitis; corneal culture; C. macginleyi; targeted sequencing;

    Sammanfattning : First, to describe the microbial spectrum in infectious keratitis by both a culture and a targeted sequencing approach; second, to describe the clinical and genetic characteristics of Corynebacterium macginleyi; and third, to study different aspects of the corneal culture process by comparing two instruments used for sampling and two sampling and inoculation strategies. The five studies in this thesis made use of two retrospective study populations and one prospective study population.

  4. 3. Aniridia-related keratopathy : structural changes, signaling pathways and clinical aspects

    Författare :André Vicente; Fatima Pedrosa Domellöf; Berit Byström; Luis Abegão Pinto; Jing-Xia Liu; Anders Ivarsen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; aniridia; aniridia-related keratopathy; PAX6; keratoplasty; fetal cornea; Notch1; Wnt; sonic hedgehog; mTOR; keratocyte; oftalmiatrik; ophthalmology;

    Sammanfattning : Aniridia is a congenital autosomal dominant, bilateral, panocular condition, caused by haploinsufficiency of the Pax6 transcription factor. Aniridia-related keratopathy (ARK) significantly affects vision and quality of life in these patients. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Composite Regenerative Scaffolds

    Författare :Elle Edin; Jöns Hilborn; May Griffith; Alicia El Haj; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nerve; neurite; regeneration; PEDOT; PEDOT:Tosylate; electrostimulation; Kemi med inriktning mot polymerkemi; Chemistry with specialization in Polymer Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : Regenerative medicine and tissue engineering solutions of heavily innervated tissues are at this point lacklustre. This thesis expands our knowledge of appropriate acellular scaffolds for tissue repair in general and nerve regeneration in particular. LÄS MER
