16. Opioid-induced cholecystokinin release in the CNS-neurochemical mechanisms and effects of sciatic nerve lesion
Sammanfattning : Cholecystokinin (CCK) and opioid peptides have a similar distribution in the nervous system and CCK has been demonstrated to counteract opioid-induced analgesia at spinal and supraspinal level. An increased spinal release of CCK has been suggested to be a mechanism for the relative resistance to opioid analgesic drug in certain pain conditions following nerve lesions (i. LÄS MER
17. Cell therapy for denervated tissue
Sammanfattning : Background: Peripheral nerve injury results in denervation of tendons and muscles. The biology of denervated muscle has been well studied but little is known about the associated tendons. LÄS MER
18. The role of the MAP- and SAP- kinase pathways in the survival, proliferation and death of Schwann cells of the injured sciatic nerve
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns alterations in signal transduction in Schwann cells as a response to nerve injury as well as their survival, proliferation and death. Enzymes and transcription factors belonging to the mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) and the stress activated protein kinase (SAPK) pathways were studied. LÄS MER
19. Transcriptional regulation of the neuropeptide galanin : special reference to axotomy
Sammanfattning : Galanin is a neuropeptide which is located in both the central and peripheral nervous system. In peripheral neurones, this peptide is thought to be involved in influencing pain sensation after nerve injury (neuropathic pain) and also in the regeneration of peripheral nerves. LÄS MER
20. Repair of divided peripheral nerves : experimental studies in rabbit and rat
Sammanfattning : The general aim of this thesis was to provide new knowledge, through experimental studies, that may contribute to an improvement of the results after microsurgical peripheral nerve repair in patients.An adequate function of the human body depends, among other things, on a correctly functioning peripheral nervous system.
