1. 16. Cardiovascular role of PDGF-B in development and disease. Studies in genetically engineered mice

   Författare :Henrik Nyström; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :atherosclerosis; cardiovascular disease; cell retention; in vivo physiology; neointimal hyperplasia; PDGF; transgenic mice; vascular function; vascular smooth muscle cell;

   Sammanfattning : Platelet-derived growth factor B (PDGF-B) is vital for microvascular development, and retention of PDGF-B to extracellular matrix (ECM) is important in this process. However, the role and source of PDGF-B in development of macrovascular function is disputed. LÄS MER

3. 17. Vascular mechanisms in ovulation

   Författare :Kenrokuro Mitsube; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :angiotensin; blood flow; nitric oxide; ovary; ovulation; permeability; permselectivity; rat.;

   Sammanfattning : Ovulation is a unique biological process, which involves the degradation and rupture of healthy tissue of the ovarian follicle and the extrusion of the oocyte. This process is initiated by the preovulatory surge of luteinizing hormone (LH), which leads to the up-regulation of various intraovarian mediators. LÄS MER

4. 18. Vascular mechanical properties and endothelial function with special reference to pregnancy and hormonal influences

   Författare :Jana Brodszki; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gynaecology; andrology; reproduction; sexuality; Obstetrik; gynekologi; andrologi; reproduktion; sexualitet; Obstetrics; systemic lupus erythematosus; hormone therapy; preeclampsia; pregnancy; endothelial function; arterial stiffness; vessels; ultrasound; cardiovascular disease;

   Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. Early recognition of vascular changes, both structural and functional, may help to identify individuals at risk for CVD. LÄS MER

5. 19. The Microvasculature of Endogenous and Transplanted Pancreatic Islets : Blood Perfusion, Oxygenation and Islet Endocrine Function

   Författare :Richard Olsson; Per-Ola Carlsson; Leif Jansson; Arne Andersson; Thomas Linn; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Cell biology; diabetes mellitus; pancreatic islets; islet transplantation; vascular engraftment; islet microcirculation; oxygenation; blood flow; protein biosynthesis; Cellbiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Type 1 diabetes mellitus affects millions of people worldwide. Islet transplantation is a minimal invasive surgical procedure that restores euglycemia and halts the progression of diabetic complications. However, despite transplantation of islets from multiple donors most patients reverse to hyperglycemia within five years. LÄS MER

7. 20. Pulmonary hypertension. Clinical and pathophysiological studies

   Författare :Nedim Selimovic; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Pulmonary hypertension; Echocardiography; Right heart catheterisation; Pulmonary vascular resistance; Pulmonary function tests; Lung transplantation; Mortality on the waiting list; Vascular remodelling; Growth substances; Inflammation; Endothelin;

   Sammanfattning : Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common abnormality, most often associated with various cardiopulmonary diseases. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating pulmonary vascular disease characterised by the proliferation of endothelial, smooth-muscle cells and fibroblasts. LÄS MER
