  1. 1. Hyaluronan and Renal Fluid Handling : Studies during Normal and Pathological Conditions of Renal Function

    Författare :Viktoria Göransson; Mats Rundgren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cell biology; CD44; gerbils; hyaluronan; ischemia-reperfusion; kidney; osmolality; oxygen tension; rat; renomedullary interstitial cells; water; Cellbiologi; Cell biology; Cellbiologi; Physiology; fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : The kidney is the major organ responsible for the regulation of the composition and volume of the body fluids, which is essential for homeostasis. The glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan (HA), with extreme water-binding capacity, is present in the interstitium of the kidney with a heterogenous distribution. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Experimental Helicobacter pylori infection in an animal model

    Författare :Yi-Qian Sun; Torkel Wadström; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Helicobacter pylori is a microaerophilic Gram-negative bacterium colonizing the human stomach. The prevalence of this infection is between 20-90% depending on geographic location. Comprehensive studies have shown significant relationships between H. pylori infection and chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric carcinoma. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Helicobacter pylori : molecular mechanisms for variable adherence properties

    Författare :Anna Vallström; Anna Arnqvist; Kristian Riesbeck; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :H. pylori; adherence; BabA; SabA; Leb; sLex; phase variation; recombination; vesicles;

    Sammanfattning : More than half of all people worldwide are infected with H. pylori. The infection always cause a gastric inflammation that may develop into peptic ulcer disease or gastric cancer. Attachment proteins, adhesins, mediate specific adherence of H. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Helicobacter pylori associated effects on inflammatory radical formation and angiotensin II receptors in the stomach

    Författare :Anders Elfvin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Helicobacter pylori; Mongolian gerbil; gastric adenocarcinoma; nitro-radical; iNOS; nitric oxide; nitrotyrosine; oxy-radical; myeloperoxidase; angiotensin II; AT1R; AT2R;

    Sammanfattning : Helicobacter pylori infection of the stomach always results in mucosal inflammation and a marked systemic immune response. Despite the profound host defence reactions the bacterium avoids elimination and persists in the mucosa. This results in chronic inflammation and an increased risk for peptic ulcers and adenocarcinoma. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Quantitative morphological studies of the parathyroid gland

    Författare :Hans-Olov Larsson; Ronny Lorentzon; Lennart Boquist Lennart Boquist; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Parathyroids; stereology; electron microscopy;

    Sammanfattning : This work is based upon a series of quantitative morphological studies of the parathyroid glands of Mongolian gerbils and rats. Standard stereological methods were used on light and electron microscopical levels. LÄS MER
