  1. 11. Cyclosporin A-induced gingival overgrowth in renal transplant patients : a clinical, histological and experimental study

    Författare :Biniyam Wondimu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :cyclosporin A gingival overgrowth gingival fibroblasts nephrotoxicity renal transplant saliva;

    Sammanfattning : Cyclosporine A (CsA) is widely used as an effective immunosuppressive agent to prevent rejection of organ transplants, as well as in the treatment of patients with various autoimmune diseases. The clinical use of CsA, however, is associated with adverse side effects, including nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, hypertension, and neurotoxicity as well as gingival overgrowth. LÄS MER

  3. 12. On minor salivary gland secretion in children, adolescents and adults

    Författare :Mikael Sonesson; Malmö högskola; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Det finns få studier om de små spottkörtlarna, men deras främsta funktion anses vara att skydda individen genom att utsöndra ett skyddande sekret som utgör en slags barriär mot främmande och sjukdomsframkallande substanser. Från observationer på vuxna är det känt att körtlarna producerar en rad antibakteriella ämnen, tillhörande det specifika och det ospecifika immunförsvaret. LÄS MER

  4. 13. On salivary interactions with the antiplaque agents delmopinol and chlorhexidine : An experimental in vitro study

    Författare :Liana Bastos Treitas-Fernandes; Malmö högskola; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Saliv; Klorhexidin; Salivproteiner; Plack;

    Sammanfattning : Several chemical agents have been used to aid in the removal of dental plaque and to prevent or decrease the occurrence of oral diseases, Defining the interactions of chemical agents and saliva contributes to a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in chemical plaque control. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the salivary interactions between two antiplaque agents and saliva and microorganisms at defined solid/liquid and air liquid interfaces. LÄS MER

  5. 14. DNA Analysis of PCR-Inhibitory Forensic Samples

    Författare :Johannes Hedman; Teknisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; amylase; statistical modelling; principal components analysis; PCR inhibitors; PCR inhibition; forensic DNA analysis; DNA polymerase blend; DNA polymerase; crime scene samples;

    Sammanfattning : DNA evidence, linking perpetrators to crime scenes, is central to many legal proceedings. However, crime scene samples often contain extraneous substances that may interfere with the PCR-based forensic analysis, resulting in partial or negative DNA profiles. Extensive DNA purification may remove inhibitors, but involves the risk of DNA loss. LÄS MER

  7. 15. On the structure and mechanical properties of in vitro salivary pellicles

    Författare :Hannah Boyd; Javier Sotres; Thomas Arnebrant; Rob Barker; Mark Rutland; Malmö universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Salivary pellicles display exceptional hydration and lubrication performance. At present, there are still gaps in the understanding of how this is achieved. LÄS MER
