16. Occupational hexachloroethane exposure and toxicity : With special reference to the formation of Hexachlorobenzeneiin aluminium degrassing
Sammanfattning : For about half a century, hexachloroethane (HCE) has been used as an essential component of military white smoke munition and as a degassing agent in almninium foundries and secondary aluminium smelters. However, the acute or chronic health risks associated with occupational exposure to HCE have not been investigated in humans. LÄS MER
17. The primed neutrophil : a friend or a foe in inflammation
Sammanfattning : Human neutrophils are the most abundant of the white blood cells in circulation and represent the first line of defense against invading microorganisms. With a membrane-bound enzyme system (the NADPH oxidase), these cells can generate reactive oxygen metabolites that serve efficiently in antimicrobial defense. LÄS MER
18. On enhancement of bone formation using local drug delivery systems
Sammanfattning : Introduction: Despite that many reports have confirmed the long-term clinical success rates associated with implant treatment, implant failure to achieve and maintain osseointegration still occurs in many cases. Local and sustained drug release at the bone-implant interface is one of the strategies that have been suggested to improve the osseointegration. LÄS MER
19. Organohalogens in coniferous forest soil
Sammanfattning : This thesis is focused on naturally produced organohalogens in soil. It was long assumed that organohalogens found in the environment were mainly of anthropogenic origin, but recent research has shown that large amounts of naturally produced organohalogens are stored in terrestrial environments.

20. Prediction and prevention of allergy in infants and children
Sammanfattning : Atopic disposition is hereditary with varying penetrance. A carefully obtained family history of atopic disease (FH) is useful as a predictor but has low sensitivity. Other tested predictors such as cord blood (CB) IgE, counts of different CB cell elements and combinations of predictors all have a similar, or even lower sensitivity and specificity. LÄS MER
