  1. 6. Antisecretory factor in the perinatal period

    Författare :Anna Gustafsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Preterm birth is the major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Human milk, especially mothers’ own milk, has many health benefits for infants, especially infants born preterm. The causes of preterm birth are not yet fully understood. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Nerve growth factor : its contribution to neuroimmunomodulation

    Författare :Luisa Bracci-Laudiero; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :NGF; CGRP; SP; lupus; NZB W; apoptosis; B-cells;

    Sammanfattning : Nerve growth factor (NGF) is the best characterised member of the neurotrophin family, a protein group with common structures and functions. Similar to other proteins of neuronal origin NGF, in addition to its well described action on neurons, is involved in the regulation of the immune system. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Development of a new protective group for tryptophan

    Författare :Marie Danielsson; Anders Undén; Amelie Karlström; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurochemistry; Neurokemi; neurokemi med molekylär neurobiologi; Neurochemistry with Molecular Neurobiology;

    Sammanfattning : A new protective group for the indole nitrogen of the amino acid tryptophan, the Boc-sarcosinoyl-sarcosinolyl (Boc-Sar-Sar) is described. This protective group shows good stability to the reaction conditions used in solid phase peptide synthesis and is incorporated into the peptide as FmocTrp(BocSarSar)OH. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Oxidative stress-related damage of retinal pigment epithelial cells : possible protective properties of autophagocytosed iron-binding proteins

    Författare :Markus Karlsson; Christina Frennesson; Sven Erik Nilsson; Tino Kurz; Ulf Brunk; Anders Kvanta; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Oxidative stress is a major pathogenic factor in the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which is the most common cause of severe central visual impairment in the elderly population in the western world.It is believed that the degenerative process starts in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).

  7. 10. Protective Mechanical Ventilation in Inflammatory and Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia Models

    Författare :Jesper Sperber; Jan Sjölin; Markus Castegren; Anders Larsson; Anders Larsson; Anders Oldner; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mechanical ventilation; Systemic inflammation; Pneumonia; Ventilator-associated pneumonia; Endotoxin; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care;

    Sammanfattning : Severe infections, trauma or major surgery can each cause a state of systemic inflammation. These causes for systemic inflammation often coexist and complicate each other. Mechanical ventilation is commonly used during major surgical procedures and when respiratory functions are failing in the intensive care setting. LÄS MER
