1. Endothelial Barrier Dysfunction in Multiple Organ Injury. An Experimental Study in Rats
Sammanfattning : Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is still the leading cause of mortality in the surgical intensive care unit. The effect on among others endothelial barrier permeability, reticuloendothelial function, organ function and protease-antiprotease activities was studied following a variety of challenges, especially over-activation of macrophages induced by intraperitoneal administration of zymosan.

2. Intestinal Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury - Pathophysiology as basis for novel treatment
Sammanfattning : Intestinal ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) is not infrequent in the clinical situation and the intestinal barrier plays an important role in gut barrier function, preventing not at least septic complications and potentially the development of the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. Mechanisms of intestinal I/R induced gut epithelial and endothelial barrier dysfunction and remote organ dysfunction, as well as potential preventive and therapeutic modes of management were evaluated in the rat.

3. Permeability of the glomerular filtration barrier in relation to the size, shape, charge and deformability of the permeating molecules
Sammanfattning : Characterization of the glomerular filtration barrier is of fundamental importance for understanding the pathophysiology of proteinuric kidney diseases. Furthermore, it can be of key value in the understanding of microalbuminuria, which is often associated with endothelial dysfunction in conjunction with cardiovascular disease. LÄS MER
4. Neutrophil-induced endothelial barrier dysfunction in acute inflammation : mechanisms and therapeutic strategies
Sammanfattning : The acute inflammatory response is characterized by recruitment of leukocytes and increased vascular permeability, resulting in the cardinal signs of inflammation; redness, heat, swelling, pain and loss of function. Permeability changes of the vascular wall are important in functional immune responses and host defense. LÄS MER
5. Properties of the endothelial cells and the glomerular barrier
Sammanfattning : The kidneys are vital organs that filter plasma to produce 180 liters of primary urine per day. Only 1% of this volume is excreted and the rest is reabsorbed. Naturally, such huge amounts of fluid must be well controlled to maintain the homeostasis, which is a prerequisite for life. LÄS MER
