  2. 6. Importance of bacterial hydrogen sulfide in the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases

    Author : Amina Basic; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hydrogen sulfide; Periodontitis; Gingivitis; IL-1β; IL-18; NLRP3 inflammasome; Oral microbiota; Fusobacterium spp.; Bismuth test; L-cysteine;

    Abstract : Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is one of many end-products of the proteolytic activities in the subgingival microbiota in patients with periodontal diseases, such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Although H2S is generally regarded as toxic, the mechanisms that underlie its production and its effects on human cells and tissues are poorly understood. READ MORE

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Asymptomatic bacteriuria; urinary tract infection; acute pyelonephritis; cystitis; Escherichia coli 83972; host response; NlpD; RNA Polymerase II; transcription regulation; inflammasome; Il-1β; ASC; NLRP-3; hyper-inflammatory disorder; MMP-7; IL-1RA; genetic susceptibility; IRF-7; siRNA therapy; P fimbriae; type 1 fimbriae;

    Abstract : In the urinary tract, Escherichia coli infection may result in life-threatening disease, or asymptomatic bacterial carriage, comparable to bacterial commensalism in the gut. Pathogenic strains trigger a disease provoking host response which differs depending on the infected organ. READ MORE

  5. 8. Kinins : important regulators in inflammation induced bone resorption

    Author : Anna Bernhold Brechter; Ulf Lerner; Hans-Erik Claesson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Bone resorption; Osteoblasts; Kinins; B1 and B2 receptors; IL-1β; TNF-α; Prostaglandin; COX-2; RANKL; Transcription factors; IL-4; IL-13; Medical Cell Biology; medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Inflammatory processes in, or in close vicinity of, the skeleton often lead to loss of bone tissue. Different cytokines have been shown to be involved as stimulators of inflammatory induced osteoclastic bone resorption. READ MORE

  7. 10. Mechanisms of Lung Injury in a Mouse Model of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

    Author : Anna Hogmalm; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : bronchopulmonary dysplasia; transgenic mice; inflammation; lung; interleukin-1; αvβ6 integrin; mmp-9; surfactant;

    Abstract : Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease that affects preterm infants. Increased levels of inflammatory mediators in the amniotic fluid and in the lungs of preterm infants are associated with the development of BPD. READ MORE
