11. Multifunctional roles of plasmin in inflammation : Studies of animal models on rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, wound healing and infection
Abstract : Plasmin has been suggested to be involved in degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) and tissue remodeling during a number of physiological and pathological processes. The aims of this thesis were to study the functional roles of plasmin during pathological inflammation in autoimmune and nonautoimmune disease models of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), multiple sclerosis (MS), wound healing and infection.

12. On Pressure Regulation of the Middle Ear
Abstract : The middle ear (ME) pressure is regulated by gas diffusion over the ME mucosa and pressure equalizations via the Eustachian tube (ET). Disturbance in the regulation of ME pressure is believed to contribute to the development of chronic ear diseases. READ MORE

13. Morphology and biochemistry of the tympanic membrane in relation to retraction pathology
Abstract : Otitis media is very common during childhood and may predispose for tympanic membrane (TM) pathology later in life. Therefore, it is important to investigate the possible changes in TMs subjected to otitis media. There is evidence of a relationship between previous otitis media and TM retraction disease. READ MORE

14. Long-term follow-up after otitis media in childhood
Abstract : Objective: Most preschool children have suffered from at least one episode of acute otitis media (AOM) and/or secretory otitis media (SOM). Some children have frequent AOM episodes and/or prolonged and recurrent episodes of secretory otitis media (SOM). The long-term out-come and sequelae are not fully clarified. READ MORE

15. Plasminogen : a novel inflammatory regulator that promotes wound healing
Abstract : The plasminogen activator (PA) system has been shown to be intimately involved in wound healing. However, the role of this system in the initiation and resolution of inflammation during healing process remained to be determined. READ MORE
