2. 6. Lung Transplantation: Clinical and experimental studies

   Author : Leif Eriksson; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Respiratory system; Follow up Studies; Vascular Resistance; Intensive Care; Induced; Hypothermia; Swine; Extracorporeal Circulation; Lung Transplantation; Organ Preservation; Andningsorganen; Immunology; serology; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi;

   Abstract : During the past 15 years lung transplantation has been established as a therapeutic option for patients with end-stage pulmonary disease. The results have improved over time and some transplantation centers now show 1-year survival rates above 80%. READ MORE

4. 7. Cooling and dopamine

   Author : Roger Roscher; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anaesthesiology; electrophysiology; cooling; Hypothermia; swine; lung transplantation; organ preservation; dopamine; circulation; contractility; oxygenation; intensive care; Anestesiologi; intensivvård;

   Abstract : There is little knowledge about the circulatory effects of dopamine in hypothermia. Induced hypothermia has been shown to improve outcome in various settings. Hypothermia is also used for preservation of organs that are harvested for transplantation. READ MORE

5. 8. In vitro models aiming for fertility preservation

   Author : Halima Albalushi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Fertility preservation is considered a great hope to people suffering from infertility as a consequence of developmental or genetic cause, a disease itself or its treatments sequelae. In vitro models are fundamental to enrich our knowledge about human germ cell development and its regulation, to generate and screen new therapeutic measures and might provide a tool that can be transferred to clinical use to treat infertility.

6. 9. Phenotypic modulation of vascular smooth muscle in organ culture

   Author : Anders Lindqvist; Islet cell physiology; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; smooth muscle; proliferation; PDGF; Physiology; energy metabolism; calcium; Fysiologi;

   Abstract : Contraction of blood vessels for the regulation of blood flow and pressure is dependent on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) located in the medial layer of the vascular wall. Adult, differentiated VSMC have a well developed contractile system and a low rate of proliferation. READ MORE

7. 10. Intestinal transplantation. Experimental and clinical studies

   Author : Mihai Oltean; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Intestinal preservation; Ischemia-reperfusion injury; Tight junction; FK506; Resistin;

   Abstract : Intestinal preservation-reperfusion injury may result in various degrees of mucosal injury. Interestingly, the preservation injury is similar when using the current preservation solutions, which are given as a intravascular flush. An extensive mucosal injury may ultimately preclude the use of organs that require longer preservation time. READ MORE
