26. Pharmacodynamic effects of antibiotics on growing and nongrowing bacteria
Sammanfattning : The main objective of this thesis was to study antibiotic effects on nongrowing baCteria and to study the development of resistance in Staphylococcus epidermidis, a bacterium which is often found in biofilm infections. The antibiotic effect on biofilm infections is generally weak, which probably is due to decreased growth rate of the bacteria. LÄS MER
27. Pain analysis : A study in patients with chronic low back pain or fibromyalgia
Sammanfattning : Chronic low back pain (CLBP} and fibromyalgia (FM} are two common chronic pain conditions in which the pain processing mechanisms are not well understood. To identify the types of pain, we used different intravenous {t.v. LÄS MER
28. Studies of Vibrio cholerae toxins (zonula occludens toxin and hemagglutinin/protease) and their effects on epithelial cells
Sammanfattning : Intestinal epithelium is important for absorption of nutrients and for defense against harmful substances in the gut. The permeability and barrier functions of epithelia are mainly controlled by intercellular tight junctions. LÄS MER
29. Hemocompatibility of materials for use in prosthetic heart valves
Sammanfattning : Thromboembolism (valve thrombosis and systemic embolism) is the main drawback of mechanical heart valve prostheses. The patients carrying these valves have to be subjected to life-long anticoagulant therapy to reduce thromboembolism. LÄS MER
30. LDL oxidation, iron, lysosomes, and macrophages in early atherosclerosis
Sammanfattning : Oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) may result in its uptake by macrophages with ensuing foam cell formation. Thus, oxidised LDL (oxLDL) may play an important role in atherogenesis. Extensive in vitro evidence is in favour of the notion that LDL oxidation by cells present in atherosclerotic plaques requires the presence of transition metals. LÄS MER
