  2. 1. Constitutive and TCDD-induced expression of Ah receptor responsive genes with special focus on the brain and pituitary

    Author : Ping Huang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (2,3,7,8-TCDD) and related substances are ubiquitous environmental pollutants causing a number of pathological alterations, the most severe being progressive anorexia and body weight loss. The effects on body weight homeostasis suggest a possible involvement of the nervous system and neuroendocrine areas including the pituitary gland. READ MORE

  4. 2. Genetic control of myasthenia gravis : a study on cytokine and co-stimulator genes and their related functions

    Author : DeRen Huang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a classical autoimmune disease characterised by muscle weakness due to an immune attack against the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AchR) on the postsynaptic membrane of the neuromuscular junction. The aim of the study was to identify the role of the genes encoding potential immune components, such as TNF, IL-1, IL-1 receptor antagonist, IL-4, IL-10, and cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) in the pathogenesis of MG.

  5. 3. Biomarkers and viral risk factors in multiple sclerosis

    Author : Jesse Huang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease resulting in axonal injury and demyelination of nerve fibers in the central nervous system. The causal factor and pathological mechanisms governing disease progression have remained elusive, limiting the available clinical tools for MS diagnosis and treatment monitoring, particularly in the periphery.

  6. 4. Determinants and clinical implications of circulating fatty acids in individuals with chronic kidney disease

    Author : Xiaoyan Huang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : chronic kidney disease;

    Abstract : Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a high risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Adding to traditional risk factors, e.g., Framingham risk factors, novel risk factors including inflammation, insulin resistance (IR) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are being detected in patients with advanced CKD.

  7. 5. Coarse dust particle transport model around Malmberget mining area

    Author : Yi Huang; John McManus; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Soil Mechanics; Geoteknik;

    Abstract : The dust generated from mining activities in the mining area is an important environmental issue for modern mining industries with many environmental problems involved. Number of researcher worked on small dust particle transport, but few work related to the coarser dust particles with 10 to 100 micro meters diameters had been made despite the fact that coarser dust transport have significant influence on the human lives (e.
