  4. 2. Modulation of adhesion molecules on leukocytes during clinical and experimental hemodialysis : endothelial cell interacions

    Author : Pia Thylén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Adhesion; adhesion molecules; complement; endothelial cells; hemodialysis; integrins; interleukin; leukocytes; selectins.;

    Abstract : In patients on hemodialysis the sequential steps required for adhesion molecule mediated adherence of leukocytes to endothelial cells are unphysiologically disrupted since cell activation with subsequent alterations in adhesion molecule phenotypes takes place in the extracorporeal circuit far away from the respective endothelial cell ligand. The aims of the present investigations were to study the changes in adhesion molecule phenotypes on inflammatory cells induced by clinical and experimental hemodialysis and the consequences with regard to the capacity of the cells to adhere to endothelial cells.

  5. 3. The biological mechanisms in neutrophil and eosinophil adhesion and transmigration in vitro and theur relation to the inflammatory process in vivo

    Author : Ali Moshfegh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In inflammatory reactions, eosinophils and neutrophils constitute the major classes of granulocytes that emigrate from the bloodstream into the tissues. The recruitment of inflammatory cells constitutes a multi-step process that includes sequential adhesion and transmigration through, the endothelial lining, the underlying basement membrane and a variety of extracellular matrix components.

  6. 4. Leukocyte sequestration associated with inflammation : mechanisms and modulations

    Author : Kristina Nyhlén; Åke Ryrfeldt; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Inflammationsreaktionen är kroppens första försvar mot främmande partiklar t ex bakterier. Det är en komplex reaktion som bl a karakteriseras av att vita blodkroppar dras till det inflammerade området och att vätskao i blodet lättare tar sig igenom kärlväggen till vävnaden dvs det svullnar.
