1. 11. Tumour Biological Factors Characterizing Metastasizing Serotonin-producing Ileocaecal Carcinoids

   Författare :Janet Lynn Cunningham; Eva Tiensuu Janson; Kjell Öberg; Irvin M. Modlin; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Internal medicine; endocrine tumour; midgut carcinoid; serotonin-producing neuroendocrine carcinoma; prognosis; morphology; tachykinin; connective tissue growth factor; islet autoantigen-2; morphology; carcinoid syndrome; Invärtesmedicin;

   Sammanfattning : In this study, metastasizing serotonin-producing ileocaecal carcinoid tumours (MSPCs) were examined for biological characteristics that could be used to define clinically relevant subgroups within this patient population. Possible targets for new treatment options were also explored. LÄS MER

3. 12. Distribution and actions of insect tachykinin-related peptides

   Författare :Åsa Winther; Peter D. Evans; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Insects; Insekter;

   Sammanfattning : Tachykinin-related peptides (TRPs) have been identified in a number of invertebrates belonging to the mollusca, euchiurdea, crustacea and insecta. The TRPs are named after their sequence similarities and possible common evolutionary relationship to the vertebrate tachykinins. LÄS MER

4. 13. Small Intestinal Neuroendocrine Tumor : A Rare Malignancy with Favorable Outcome

   Författare :Olov Norlén; Peter Stålberg; Per Hellman; Peyman Björklund; Anders Sundin; Peter Naredi; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neuroendocrine tumor; peritoneal carcinomatosis; single nucleotide polymorphism array; liver metastases; radiofrequency ablation; liver surgery; positron emission tomography; somatostatin analogs; cholecystectomy; Kirurgi; Surgery;

   Sammanfattning : Small intestinal neuroendocrine tumor (SI-NET) is the most common small bowel tumor in Europe and USA, with an annual incidence of around 0.3-1.3/100000 persons. LÄS MER

5. 14. Contribution of the sensory nervous system : an experimental study in the rat

   Författare :Olle Löfgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :edema; hindpaw withdrawal latency HWL ; inflammation; microcirculation; scalding; sensory nervous system; sensory neuropeptide antagonists; sensory neuropeptides; thermal injury;

   Sammanfattning : The pathophysiological background to burn induced inflammatory reactions is poorly understood and present therapy options are limited. A model of thermal injury was developed to enable investigations of the acute inflammatory reactions in the periphery as well as of the transmission of nociception at the spinal cord level. LÄS MER

7. 15. Clinical and immunohistochemical studies of small bowel carcinoid tumours

   Författare :Kalle Landerholm; Johannes Järhult; Nils Wierup; Sture Falkmer; Roland Andersson; Bo Wängberg; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Small bowel carcinoid tumours arising from enterochromaffin cells in the jejunum and ileum are neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) characterized by secretion of serotonin, tachykinins and other bioactive substances. These substances may lead to the typical carcinoid syndrome as well as pronounced fibrosis locally and in the heart. LÄS MER
