  1. 1. An experimental study on the interaction between the neuro-endocrine and immune systems in the gastrointestinal tract

    Författare :Bi-Feng Qian; Eva Ekblad; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gastrointestinal tract; neuro-endocrine system; substance P; vasoactive intestinal polypeptide; vagus nerves; mucosal immune system; T lymphocytes; cytokines; inflammation; mouse;

    Sammanfattning : The mucosa lining of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is in immediate contact with food nutrients to allow a rapid and efficient digestion and absorption and at the same time protects against the incessant risk of attack from pathogenic microbes. Maintenance of normal physiological activities in the GI tract is dependent on a number of regulatory interactions between the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, as well as environmental and genetic factors.

  3. 2. Neural control of inflammation

    Författare :April S Caravaca; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Pioneering research on neural control of inflammation has paved the way for new and exciting developments in the growing field of bioelectronic medicine. In the past couple of decades, pre-clinical research on the role of the vagus nerve in inflammation and immunity has brought electrical stimulation of select nerves into clinical trials for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases.

  4. 3. Understanding inflammation requires neuroscience

    Författare :Alessandro Gallina; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Inflammation and its resolution are processes subject to neural regulation (1). The best-characterized immune-regulating reflex is the “inflammatory reflex”, in which the efferent branch of the vagus nerve plays a central role in regulating cytokine-release in the periphery.

  5. 4. Rotavirus Disease Mechanisms Diarrhea, Vomiting and Inflammation : How and Why

    Författare :Marie Hagbom; Lennart Svensson; Karl-Eric Mangusson; Ove Lundgren; Niklas Arnberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Rotavirus infections cause diarrhea and vomiting that can lead to severe dehydration. Despite extensive tissue damage and cell death, the inflammatory response is very limited. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Peripheral Hypoglycaemic Neuropathy in Type 1 Diabetic Rats : Morphologic and Metabolic Studies

    Författare :Reza Jamali; Simin Mohseni; Claes Hildebrand; Håkan Aldskugius; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Diabetes Mellitu; Hypoglycaemia; Neuropathy; Morphology; Microdialysis; Glucose level; Neurobiology; Neurobiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Hyperglycaemia caused by insulin deficiency is believed to play a major role in the de-velopment of neuropathy in diabetic patients. The clinical and pathological features of diabetic neuropathy vary considerably, although sensory and autonomic dysfunctions are the most common characteristics. LÄS MER
