  1. 21. Rectal Cancer - Tumor Biology and Prognostic Markers

    Författare :Eva Fernebro; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; prognostic markers; Cytology; oncology; cancerology; Cytologi; onkologi; cancer; immunohistochemistry IHC ; chromosomal instability CIN ; microsatellite instability MSI ; tissue microarray TMA ; tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 TIMP-1 ; Rectal cancer; soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor suPAR ;

    Sammanfattning : Colorectal cancer is one of our most common malignancies and the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. About 1/3 of the tumors are located in the rectum. LÄS MER

  3. 22. 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

  4. 23. The road from atherosclerosis to myocardial infarction : studies in an experimental model

    Författare :Anne-Louise Hemdahl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Atherosclerosis; myocardial infarction; ischemia; hypoxia; matrix metalloproteinase; remodelling; electrocardiogram; gene expression; inflammation;

    Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is a slow progressing disease with continuous lipid deposition and inflammation in the arterial wall. Stenotic arteries may cause angina pectoris but it is the sudden formation of an occluding thrombosis on the atherosclerotic plaque that leads to myocardial infarction. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Cervical ripening : an inflammatory process involving cytokines, metalloproteinases and foetal fibronectin

    Författare :Maria Sennström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :cervical ripening; interleukin-8; interleukin-6; granulocyte colony stimulating factor; metalloproteinase- 1; -3 - and -8; foetal fibronectin;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the thesis was to identify cytokines, metalloproteinases and foetal fibronectin in human cervical tissue and to investigate if changes are of importance for the final cervical ripening. The human cervical ripening is a prerequisite for a normal start and progress of labour. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Inflammation and cortisol response in coronary artery disease

    Författare :Johnny Nijm; Lena Jonasson; Eva Särendahl; Per Tornvall; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Coronary artery disease; Cardiology; Kardiologi; Internal medicine; Invärtesmedicin;

    Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is characterized by a chronic inflammation, involving autoimmune components, in the arterial wall. An increase in proinflammatory activity relative to anti-inflammatory activity is considered to cause a progression of the disease towards plaque instability and risk of atherothrombotic events, such as acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
