  1. 1. Mechanisms of neutrophil recruitment in septic lung injury

    Författare :Karzan Palani; Kirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sepsis; infection; neutrophil; lung; chemokines; apoptosis; CD44; F-actin; peptides;

    Sammanfattning : Sepsis is one of leading cause of death despite aggressive surgical intervention and antibiotic therapies. Excessive neutrophil recruitment is a major feature in early phase with immune system dysfunction at later phase. Lung is the most vulnerable, critical and sensitive organ during sepsis process.

  2. 2. SIGNALING MECHANISMS IN SEPSIS-INDUCED IMMUNE DYSFUNCTION

    Författare :Zirak Hasan; Kirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; abdominal sepsis; neutrophil; lung; chemokines; infection; T-cells; CD44; Rho-kinase; isoprenylation;

    Sammanfattning : Sepsis and subsequent organ failure remain the major cause of mortality in intensive care units in spite of significant research efforts. The lung is the most vulnerable organ affected by early hyper-inflammatory immune response in septic patients. LÄS MER

  3. 3. Adhesive and signaling mechanisms in abdominal sepsis

    Författare :Su Zhang; Kirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; abdominal sepsis; lung; infection; neutrophil; chemokines; T-cells; HMG-CoA reductase; NFAT;

    Sammanfattning : Sepsis is a major cause of mortality in intensive care units despite decades of scientific efforts. The lung is recognized as the most sensitive and critical organ affected by the hyper-inflammatory response in septic patients. Immune cell dysfunction develops in later phases of sepsis making patients susceptible to infections. LÄS MER

  4. 4. Persistent infection by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis

    Författare :Kemal Avican; Maria Fällman; Wyndham W. Lathem; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Persistent infection; RNA-seq; PMNs; Yersinia; Transcriptome; wrba; fnr; rovA; arcA; rfaH; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology; Infectious Diseases; infektionssjukdomar; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Enteropathogenic Yersinia species can infect many mammalian organs such as the small intestine, cecum, Peyer’s patches, liver, spleen, and lung and cause diseases that resemble a typhoid-like syndrome, as seen for other enteropathogens. We found that sublethal infection doses of Y. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Mucosal immunity against mycobacterial infection

    Författare :Muhammad Jubayer Rahman; Carmen Fernández; Ingileif Jonsdottir; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mucosal immunity; Vaccination; Diagnosis; Mycobacterial infection; Immunology; Immunologi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis aimed to the identification of immune biomarkers of mycobacterial infection for better diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) and also focused on new vaccination strategies with a particular emphasis on the immune responses in the respiratory tract using murine models. Since the lung is the natural habitat for the M. LÄS MER
