  2. 1. On ischemia/reperfusion injury and rejection in concordant xenotransplantation to the rat

    Author : Daniel Jan Lukes; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Concordant; xenotransplantation; rat; hamster; mouse; rejection; necrosis; PCr; ß-ATP; ROS; SOE light; I RP; IPC;

    Abstract : Studies in concordant (without preformed antibodies) rodent xenotransplantation (transplantation between species) models have focused, to date, on immunological disparities. In allotransplantation (transplantation within species), there is evidence suggesting that early ischemic events may contribute to later rejection episodes and to the development of chronicrejection features.

  4. 2. Modulation of the Immune Response in Concordant Xenotransplantation

    Author : Adam Bersztel; Gunnar Tufveson; Michael Olausson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Antibodies; blood transfusions; heart; pancreatic islets; tolerance; xenotransplantation; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi; Surgery; kirurgi;

    Abstract : Xenotransplantation, i.e. transplantation between different species, could be a possible solution to the present shortage of organ donors. The immunological response to a xenograft is strong and difficult to suppress. READ MORE

  5. 3. Discogenic pain - A diagnostic challenge

    Author : Hanna Hebelka; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; discography; disc; disc pressure; low back pain; axial loaded MRI; validity;

    Abstract : Low back pain (LBP) is a common health complaint with a lifetime prevalence up to 80%. Patients with discogenic pain constitute a minority of all with LBP but represent an important group with substantial personal consequences and high demands on health-care and social systems.

  6. 4. Inflammatory bowel disease in twins : studies of genetics and environmental factors

    Author : Jonas Halfvarson; Salvador Peña; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The aetiology of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is unknown but considered to be caused by interplay of genetic and environmental factors.The aims of this thesis were to study the influence of genetics and environmental factors in aetiology, disease phenotype and levels of Anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCA), as well as to assess whether CARD15/NOD2 polymorphisms explain the influence of genetics in these aspects.

  7. 5. Immunological and Inflammtory Responses against Intrastriatal Neural Grafts in the Rat

    Author : Wei-Ming Duan; Neurobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neurology; MHC; Rat; Brain; Xenogeneic; Allogeneic; Syngeneic; Cytokine; Inflammation; Neural transplantation; Immunology; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi;

    Abstract : Intracerebral neural transplantation offers a new strategy to combat Parkinson’s and Huntington’s diseases. However, a host immune response against a histoincompatible neural graft in the brain may jeopardize transplant survival. READ MORE
