1. 11. HOST DEFENSE PEPTIDES OF THE COAGULATION SYSTEM AND THEIR THERAPEUTIC POTENTIAL

   Författare :Gopinath Kasetty; Lund Dermatologi och venereologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Host defense peptides; Sepsis; Serine proteases; Factor X; Immunomodulation;

   Sammanfattning : Prevention and control of infectious diseases is seriously hampered by an increasing prevalence of bacteria that are resistant towards conventional antibiotics. Resistant bacteria are often the root cause of infections that trigger the complex clinical syndrome called sepsis, which is a concern for high morbidity and mortality. LÄS MER

3. 12. Streptococcal M protein and human C4BP

   Författare :Jenny J Persson; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Infektioner; Infections; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; human C4BP; M protein; antigenic variation; sequence variability; Streptococcus pyogenes; innate immunity;

   Sammanfattning : Antigenic variation of surface proteins allows microorganisms to evade the immune system of the infected host. This phenomenon represents an apparent paradox, because the variable protein must retain an important function, while its antigenic properties vary extensively. LÄS MER

4. 13. Null Ellipsometry and Protein Adsorption to Model Biomaterials

   Författare :Johan Benesch; Thomas Arnebrant; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : When implants are inserted into the human body cascades of events become started that will determine the outcome of wound healing and ultimately the success of the implantation. The events start with the adsorption of small molecules, and proteins that may be activated (enzymes) or are able to activate cells of the immune defense and the healing process. LÄS MER

5. 14. Cardiopulmonary adaption to one-lung ventilation and neoadjuvant therapy during treatment of esophageal cancer

   Författare :Mikael Lund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Introduction: Esophagectomy is the main form of curative treatment for esophageal cancer and has a high morbidity rate. Neoadjuvant chemo- (CT) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) is employed to increase long-term survival. To improve perioperative care the effects of measures taken to improve surgical exposure i.e. LÄS MER

7. 15. Protein Interactions Involving the Laminin G-type Domains of Vitamin K-dependent Protein S

   Författare :Petra Evenäs; Malmö Klinisk kemi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Klinisk kemi; Clinical chemistry; tyrosine phosphorylation.; Sky receptor; SHBG-like region; protein S; G domain; Gas6; Activated protein C; C4b-binding protein; Proteins; enzymology; Proteiner; enzymologi;

   Sammanfattning : The studies described in this thesis focus on the involvement of the two laminin G-type domains of vitamin K-dependent protein S in various biological contexts. The G-type domains are located in the C-terminal sex-hormone-binding globulin (SHBG)-like region. LÄS MER
