1. 11. Ion transport in exocrine glands with reference to cystic fibrosis

   Författare :Ailing Zhang; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cell biology; ion transport; cystic fibrosis; submandibular gland; airway submucosal gland; X-ray microanalysis; cytosolic Ca2 concentration; immunocytochemistry; Cellbiologi; Cell biology; Cellbiologi; Human Anatomy; anatomi;

   Sammanfattning : Aspects of ion transport in rat submandibular gland acinar cells at the subcellular level, and the regulation of chloride secretion and calcium mobilization in cultured pig tracheal gland acinar cells were studied with reference to the disease cystic fibrosis.In adult rat submandibular gland acinar cells, both cholinergic and α-adrenergic stimulation induced efflux of K+ and of C1-, but the response was generally less with α-adrenergic stimulation.

3. 12. Studies on mechanisms in liver fibrosis

   Författare :Nils Kinnman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :bile duct epithelial cell; chernotaxis; cholestasis; cystic fibrosis; cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator; endothelin; hepatic stellate cell; hepatitis C virus; liver fibrosis; platelet-derived growth factor; platelet-derived growth factor receptor [beta]; smooth muscle [alpha]-actin; transforming growth factor- [beta]; tumor necrosis factor-[alpha];

   Sammanfattning : The aim of the present study was to elucidate mechanisms involved in liver fibrogenesis, the wound healing response of the liver to chronic injury. A role for TNF-[alpha] and all three isoforms of TGF-[beta] in the pathogenesis of hepatitis C related liver disease was suggested by the finding of increased expression of TGF-[beta]1-3, latent TGF-[beta] binding protein (LTBP), and TNF-[alpha] by immunohistochemistry in areas of inflammation and fibrosis in liver tissue from untreated patients with hepatitis C.

4. 13. Aspects on puberty and fertility among females with cystic fibrosis a multidisciplinary study on humans and rats

   Författare :Marie Johannesson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :cystic fibrosis; puberty; fertility; hormonal profiles; CFTR mRNA; MDR mRNA; rat brain; pregnant rat lung; psychosocial aspects.;

   Sammanfattning : Due to intensified symptomatic treatment, a majority of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) now go through puberty and reach adulthood. This provides new challenges for the CF health care providers. LÄS MER

5. 14. Studies of Tight Junctions and Airway Surface Liquid in Airway Epithelium with Relevance to Cystic Fibrosis

   Författare :Harriet Nilsson; Godfried M Roomans; Anca Dragomir; Marie Johannesson; Olafur Baldurson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a multi-organ autosomal recessive disease of fluid-transporting epithelia, due to a mutation in the gene coding for the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. CFTR is a cAMP-regulated Cl-channel involved in various regulatory processes. LÄS MER

7. 15. Studies as a basis for a possible introduction of newborn screening for cystic fibrosis in Sweden

   Författare :Isabelle de Monestrol; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common life-shortening autosomal recessive disease in Caucasians. It is a multi-organ disease that results from mutations in the gene that encodes the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein, which regulates ion transport at epithelial surfaces.
