  2. 1. Bacterial Outer Membrane Vesicles. Mediators of virulence and antibiotic resistance

    Author : Viveka Schaar; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Antibiotic resistance; Moraxella catarrhalis; epithelial cells; beta-lactamase; non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae; outer membrane vesicles; polymicrobial infections; UspA1;

    Abstract : Outer membrane vesicles (OMV) have the size of nanoparticles and are released from the outer membrane of most Gram-negative bacteria. The OMV reflect the composition of the bacterial outer membrane, including lipids and virulence factors specific for the pathogen, and are involved in pathogenesis and bacterial survival. READ MORE

  4. 2. Bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis. Studies on classic BPS/IC, ESSIC type 3C, with special reference to the role of nitric oxide

    Author : Yr Logadottir; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bladder Pain Syndrome BPS ; Interstitial Cystitis IC ; Nitric Oxide NO ; Nitric Oxide Synthase NOS ; Inflammatory mediators; Interleukin-17; Mast cells;

    Abstract : Patients presenting with symptoms of Bladder Pain Syndrome (BPS) are challenging to the urologist. Previously known as Interstitial Cystitis (IC), this syndrome has been extensively debated and investigated. IC mainly affects women, only 1 or 2 out of 10 patients are males. READ MORE

  5. 3. Influence of FK506 on certain aspects of lymphocyte activation and lymphocyte-endothelial cell interactions in vitro

    Author : Håkan Karlsson; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cytokine; adhesion molecule; endothelium; lymphocyte metabolism; interleukin 2 receptor; FK506; cyclosporin A; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi; Immunology; transplantation; serology; Microbiology; bacteriology; mycology; virology; Immunologi; serologi;

    Abstract : In the present thesis, the influence of the immunosuppressive drug FK506 on mitogen-induced changes in the expression of subunits a and ß of the IL-2 receptor by isolated human peripheral blood mononuclear cells has been studied. Up-regulation and release of the a-chain were potently depressed by FK506, even in the presence of exogenous IL-2. READ MORE

  6. 4. Mechanisms triggering the recruitment of mast cell progenitors to the lung and regulation of mast cell degranulation

    Author : Behdad Zarnegar; Jenny Hallgren; Madeleine Rådinger; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mast cells; Mast cell progenitors; Recruitment; Lung; Virus; Influenza; Innate immunity; Poly I:C; IL-33; VAAT; SLC10A4; Degranulation;

    Abstract : Mast cells stem from the bone marrow and migrate via the blood as mast cell progenitors. Upon arrival in peripheral tissues, they develop into mast cells. These rare immune cells have numerous granules that contain large amounts of pro-inflammatory mediators. READ MORE

  7. 5. OVULATION: Intra-ovarian mechanisms

    Author : Farnosh Sørensen Zakerkish; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ovulation; Human;

    Abstract : Background: Ovulation is the central biological process involved in the menstrual cycle of women. Specifically, ovulation involves the tissue remodelling of the preovulatory follicle to achieve the rupture of the exterior follicle wall with the extrusion of the oocyte. READ MORE
