1. PREVENTION OF POSTSURGICAL ABDOMINAL ADHESIONS BY POLYPEPTIDES
Sammanfattning : Peritoneal adhesions develop after almost all abdominal surgical interventions and represent an important cause of postoperative intestinal obstruction, abdominal discomfort and infertility. Postoperative adhesions can potentially be reduced by using different antiadhesive agents. LÄS MER
2. Biological effects of glucose degradation products in peritoneal dialysis fluids
Sammanfattning : Background: It is well known that Peritoneal dialysis (PD) fluids have biological effects on a number of cells and tissues in the peritoneum and the peritoneal cavity. However, little attention has been paid to the influence of glucose degradation products (GDPs), formed during heat-sterilization and storage of PD fluids. LÄS MER
3. Peritoneal fibrinolysis during pneumoperitoneum and laparoscopic surgery
Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND Laparoscopic surgery is believed to induce less postoperative adhesion formation compared with open procedures, but information regarding biological impact of a laparoscopic approach is limited. MATERIAL & METHODS Peritoneal response to laparoscopic surgery was assessed in human peritoneal tissue in two clinical trials (paper I & V). LÄS MER
4. Colorectal Cancer - Evaluation of MMP as a prognostic marker and a model for peritoneal response
Sammanfattning : Background : There are about 6600 patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer in Sweden each year. Survival rates vary with cancer stage at diagnosis. The main treatment is surgery together with, in some cases, oncological treatment. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are deeply involved in the growth and spread of colorectal cancer tumours. LÄS MER
5. Experimental Models of the Human Peritoneal Environment: Effects of TGF-beta and Hyaluronan
Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND Post surgical adhesion formation is still an unsolved problem and occurs when there is an imbalance between fibrin deposition and fibrin clearing capacity in the abdominal cavity. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-?) is associated with fibrosis and hyaluronan has in several studies been showed to reduce adhesions. LÄS MER
