1. Effects of immunosuppressive drugs on human adipose tissue metabolism
Sammanfattning : The immunosuppressive agents (IAs) rapamycin, cyclosporin A and tacrolimus, as well as glucocorticoids are used to prevent rejection of transplanted organs and to treat autoimmune disorders. Despite their desired action on the immune system, these agents have serious long-term metabolic side-effects, including dyslipidemia and new onset diabetes mellitus after transplantation. LÄS MER
2. Inhibition of acute allogaft rejection - experimental transplant studies with biological and chemical immunosuppressants
Sammanfattning : In clinical transplantation immunosuppressive agents are used in combination with the objective to achieve additive effects and less toxicity. A large number of novel drugs are candidates for clinical introduction at this time and experiments in animal models have an important role to play. LÄS MER
3. Posttransplantational bone disease : the effect of immunosuppressive drugs on bone : clinical and experimental studies
Sammanfattning : Osteoporosis and pathologic fractures are frequent complications ill patients with end-stage liver or kidney diseases. Although successful transplantation eliminates some factors related to poor organ function, all increased incidence of pathologic fractures was reported ill the early post-transplant period in spite of normalization of the allograft function.

4. Uterus transplantation: an experimental study in the rat model
Sammanfattning : One of the last frontiers to conquer in infertility research is to find a treatment for uterine factor infertility, which affects around 2500 Swedish women. These women cannot become pregnant or carry a pregnancy due to absence of uterus or presence of non-functioning uterus. LÄS MER
5. Intestinal transplantation. Experimental and clinical studies
Sammanfattning : Intestinal preservation-reperfusion injury may result in various degrees of mucosal injury. Interestingly, the preservation injury is similar when using the current preservation solutions, which are given as a intravascular flush. An extensive mucosal injury may ultimately preclude the use of organs that require longer preservation time. LÄS MER
