  1. 11. Interstitial lung disease in polymyositis and dermatomyositis

    Författare :Maryam Fathi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :dermatomyositis; polymyositis; interstitial lung disease;

    Sammanfattning : Polymyositis and dermatomyositis are rare disease entities affecting skeletal muscle and other organs such as the lungs. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is increasingly recognized as a serious complication of poly-/dermatomyositis. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Galectin binding proteins in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage -in healthy and pathological conditions

    Författare :Cecilia Cederfur; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer; glycoprotein; asthma; bronchoalveolar lavage; galectin binding protein; galectin ligand; galectin; serum;

    Sammanfattning : Galectins are carbohydrate binding proteins, implicated in conditions of both inflammation and cancer. Connections between chronic inflammation and cancer are proposed by the increased remodelling and proliferation that occurs, leading to enhanced survival and proliferation of malignant cells.

  4. 13. Radiation induced pneumonitis : clinical and experimental studies with special emphasis on the effect of smoking

    Författare :Kenneth Nilsson; Leif Bjerner; roger Henriksson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pneumonitis; irradiation; bronchoalveolar lavage; breast cancer; interstitial lung disease; hyaluronan; mast cell; smoking;

    Sammanfattning : Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is an established method providing diagnostic support and evaluation of disease activity in interstitial lung disease (ILD). The aims of the present investigation were 1) to study the inflammatory response in pneumonitis evoked by irradiation. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Interleukin-17 in models of neutrophilic lung disease

    Författare :Stefan Ivanov; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Interleukin-17; Interleukin-23; Matrix metalloproteinase-9; neutrophils; macrophages; CD4 cells; innate response; lungs;

    Sammanfattning : Several acute or chronic lung disorders like adult respiratory distress syndrome, acute severe asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic lung allograft rejection and cystic fibrosis, are associated with signs of an excess innate response in the bronchoalveolar space. Neutrophils may play a pathogenic role in these lung diseases by contributing to non-specific bronchial hyperresponsiveness and bronchial hypersecretion, as well as to epithelial damage and tissue remodelling.

  7. 15. Alveolar macrophages and lung surfactant in the defense against Cryptococcus neoformans

    Författare :Norma Teresa Gross; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :alveolar macrophages; Cryptococcus neoformans; lung surfactant;

    Sammanfattning : Cryptococcus neoformans causes disease mainly in immunosuppressed patients, especially those with AIDS, and on corticosteroids. The yeast is normally inhaled and the lung is the primary site of infection, where the alveolar macrophages (AM) provide a first line of host defense. LÄS MER
