1. 1. Social Policy and Health Insurance in South Korea and Taiwan : A Comparative Historical Approach

   Författare :Annette H. K. Son; Christer Gunnarsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Social sciences; social policy; health insurance; South Korea; Taiwan; social security institutions; state; regulator; entitlement to statutory health insurance; direct presidential elections; international norms; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; ekonomisk historia; Economic History;

   Sammanfattning : This dissertation deals with a comparison of social policy in South Korea and Taiwan. By tracing the historical origins of the modern social security institutions, as well as the historical process of modernization of medical care in Korea and Taiwan, this study can identify the extension of entitlement to health insurance as one of the most contentious social policy issues in the two countries.

3. 2. Autoimmune Regulator Deficient Mice, an Animal Model of Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Type I

   Författare :Signe Hässler; Ola Winqvist; Olle Kämpe; Bertrand Huard; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Molecular medicine; autoimmune regulator; autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type I; peripheral tolerance; antigen presenting cells; autoimmunity; danger signal; knockout mice; Molekylärmedicin;

   Sammanfattning : Autoimmune diseases develop when the immune system fails to distinguish self from non-self or when the immune system is hypersensitive to endogenous or exogenous danger signals, or when a tissue erroneously sends a danger signal to the immune system. The education of the immune system to distinguish self from non-self is mainly carried out in the thymus and gives rise to central tolerance, whereas the ability to sense a danger or a healthy tissue constitutes peripheral tolerance.

4. 3. FOXC2 : a regulator of adipocyte metabolism

   Författare :Anna Cederberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :FOXC2; forkhead; winged helix; obesity; diabetes; adipocyte; insulin resistance;

   Sammanfattning : Obesity, hyperlipidemia and insulin resistance are common forerunners of type 2 diabetes, a serious and increasingly prevalent disease in both the industrialised part of the world as well as in third world countries. We have identified the human transcription factor gene FOXC2 as a key regulator of adipocyte metabolism. LÄS MER

5. 4. Extracellular matrix as a regulator of cell behavior : Biological effects of hyaluronan biosynthesis and catabolism

   Författare :Mehdi Rahmanian; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Hyaluronan; hyaluronidase; CD44; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Medical Biochemistry; medicinsk biokemi;

   Sammanfattning : Extracellular matrix surrounding cells is an important regulator of cellular functions. Hyaluronan (HA) is a glycosaminoglyean and a constituent component of the extracellular matrix in all tissues. It is synthesized by hyaluronan syntheses (HAS) at the inner surface of cell membrane and degraded by hyaluronidases to small fragments. LÄS MER

7. 5. Plasminogen : a novel inflammatory regulator that promotes wound healing

   Författare :Yue Shen; Tor Ny; Gunilla Høyer-Hansen; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Plasminogen; inflammation; wound healing; diabetic wounds; tympanic membrane perforations; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

   Sammanfattning : The plasminogen activator (PA) system has been shown to be intimately involved in wound healing. However, the role of this system in the initiation and resolution of inflammation during healing process remained to be determined. LÄS MER
