  2. 1. The calcitonin gene family of peptides : receptor expression and effects on bone cells

    Author : Susanne Granholm; Ulf Lerner; Pernilla Lundberg; Göran Andersson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; CT family of peptides; osteoclast differentiation; bone resorption; CTR; CRLR; RAMPs; Cell biology; Cellbiologi;

    Abstract : The calcitonin gene family of peptides consists of calcitonin (CT), two calcitonin gene related peptides (α-CGRP, β-CGRP), adrenomedullin (ADM), amylin (AMY), three calcitonin receptor activating peptides (CRSP1-3) and intermedin/adrenomedullin2 (IMD). These peptides bind to one of two G protein -coupled receptors, the calcitonin receptor (CTR) or the calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR). READ MORE

  4. 2. Airway allergic inflammation. A role of bone marrow and relationship to substance P

    Author : Masafumi Tomaki; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; asthma; eosinophils; bone marrow; T lymphocytes; IL-3; IL-5; GM-CSF; substance P.;

    Abstract : Airway inflammation, along with reversible airway narrowing and airway hyperresponsiveness, is a central pathophysiological feature of bronchial asthma. The airway inflammation in asthma is dominated by eosinophils, cells that originate in the bone marrow. READ MORE

  5. 3. Allergic airway inflammation and bone marrow eosinophilopoiesis. Modulation by cytokines

    Author : Lin-Ling Zhao; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; allergy; airway inflammation; cytokine; eosinophil; eosinophilopoiesis;

    Abstract : Accumulation of eosinophils in the airways and lung parenchyma is one of the hallmarks of allergic airway inflammation. This cellular inflammatory response is likely to involve the release of eosinophils from peripheral storage pools and possibly cause production of eosinophils in the bone marrow (BM). READ MORE

  6. 4. Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with bone-patellar tendon-bone graft : postoperative intervention and influential factors for patient-relevant long-term outcome

    Author : Eva Möller; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ACL injury; knee laxity; clinical outcome; KOOS; long-term follow-up; postoperative knee brace; sagittal knee laxity; SF-36.;

    Abstract : The overall aim of the present thesis was to assess patient-relevant outcome after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and to improve the knowledge of which factors that may predict longterm outcome after bone-patellar tendon-bone ACL reconstruction. Study I: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of a brace after ACL reconstruction with bone-patellar tendon-bone graft on knee stability and knee function two years after surgery.

    Author : Håkan Löfgren; Bengt Lind; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate the outcome after surgical treatment of cervical disc disease and the influence of different bone grafting methods.192 patients were studied, of which 149 were treated surgically. READ MORE
