  1. 6. Intestinal Ischemia and Reperfusion Injury - Pathophysiology as basis for novel treatment

    Författare :Zhengwu Sun; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; organ dysfunction; epithelium; endothelium; adhesion molecules; cytokines; protease inhibitor; Intestine; barrier; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

    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. 7. Molecular targets for glucocorticoids in macrophages: cytosolic phospholipase A2 and cytokine formation

    Författare :Karin Gewert; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; pharmacognosy; Pharmacological sciences; signal transduction; dexamethasone; cytosolic phospholipase A2; glucocorticoids; macrophages; protein kinase C; mitogen-activated protein kinases; TNF-alpha; IL-1beta; protein phosphatases; okadaic acid; pharmacy; toxicology; Farmakologi; farmakognosi; farmaci; toxikologi;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this investigation has been to study mechanisms by which glucocorticoids inhibit inflammatory processes in vitro. Type IV cytosolic 85 kDa phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) is an important modulator of inflammatory responses that is present in macrophages as well as in other cell types. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Studies on vascular remodeling in acute coronary artery disease

    Författare :Fei Chen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Atherosclerosis; unstable angina; matrix metalloproteinase; apoptosis; angiogenesis; remodeling;

    Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is an arterial disease, characterized by endothelial dysfunction, vascular inflammation, and lipid accumulation in the vessel wall. Unstable coronary syndroms may be initiated by rupture of the atherosclerotic plaque, which may be caused by activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), apoptosis and angiogenesis. LÄS MER

  5. 9. On Neuroimmunology and Brain Function: Experimental and Clinical Studies

    Författare :Nina Strenn; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; immune system; mental disorders; polymorphisms; depression; autism; bipolar disorder; SSRI; S100B; 5-HTR2A; Flinders sensitive line;

    Sammanfattning : The immune system has been implicated in the mechanisms underlying many psychiatric disorders. Immune mediators are expressed in the central nervous system (CNS) not only in response to harmful stimuli, but also in a constitutive manner, and serve as important plasticity factors during development.

  7. 10. The role of red blood cells in inflammation and remodeling

    Författare :Karin Fredriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Red blood cells; fibroblast; inflammation; remodeling; fibrosis;

    Sammanfattning : Besides being carriers of oxygen and carbon dioxide, red blood cells (RBCs) also have a scavenger function, binding inflammatory mediators to surface receptors. Animal and experimental models have suggested a role for RBCs in inflammatory and fibrotic responses and patients with idiopathic pulmonary hemosiderosis, a disease characterized by lung hemorrhage, frequently develop fibrosis.
