  2. 1. Plasminogen : a pleiotropic inflammatory regulator in radiation-induced wound formation and wound repair

    Author : Mahsa Fallah; Tor Ny; Malgorzata Wilczynska; Robert Medcalf; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The plasminogen activator (PA) system plays important roles in many physiological and pathological processes, including inflammation and wound healing. Plasmin, the central component of the PA system, is a broad-spectrum serine protease that is derived from its inactive precursor form, plasminogen. READ MORE

  4. 2. Regulation of survival and proliferation of human intestinal epithelial cells by leukotriene D4

    Author : Sailaja Paruchuri; Malmö Experimentell patologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rac; General pathology; pathological anatomy; Patologi allmän ; patologisk anatomi; PI3K; CREB; p90RSK; Erk-1 2; PKC; inflammation; migration apoptosis; proliferation; LTD4; cell survival;

    Abstract : The pro-inflammatory mediator, Leukotriene D4 (LTD4) is a product of arachidonic acid cascade and has been implicated in asthma and inflammatory bowel diseases. Prolonged inflammatory conditions like ulcerative colitis increases the risk for the development of cancer and the factors that induce the chronic immune response remain uncertain. READ MORE

  5. 3. Trauma - Diagnostics and Triage

    Author : Fredrik Linder; Kevin Mani; Hampus Eklöf; Claes Juhlin; Martin Björck; Pål Aksel Naess; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; wounds and injuries; trauma; triage; whole body computed tomography in trauma; compliance; radiation exposure; CT; radiation safety; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Abstract : Trauma is a leading cause of death worldwide and it reduces years of productive life and leads to disability. Effective trauma care relies on triage, which aims to ration the use of fine resources to patients with the greatest needs. READ MORE

  6. 4. Effects of Dietary Fibre and Probiotics on Hindgut Fermentation in Healthy Rats and in Rats with Dextran Sulphate Sodium-Induced Colitis and Colon Cancer

    Author : Camilla Bränning; Avdelningen för livsmedel och läkemedel; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; carboxylic acids; probiotics; short-chain fatty acids; hindgut fermentation; Colonic health; prebiotics; microbiota; dietary fibre;

    Abstract : The importance of colonic fermentation has been realised during recent years as it has been found to be associated with colonic health and thus the overall health of the individual. The fermentation of dietary fibre and the addition of probiotics can have positive effects on the luminal environment and the colonic microbiota. READ MORE

  7. 5. Plasminogen in periodontitis and wound repair

    Author : Rima Sulniute; Tor Ny; Daniel A Lawrence; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The plasminogen activator (PA) system plays a critical role in many physiological and pathological processes, such as fibrinolysis, extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation, wound healing, inflammation, and cancer. The key component of the PA system is plasmin, a broad-spectrum serine protease that is derived from its inactive form, plasminogen. READ MORE
