  4. 17. Clinical and experimental studies on HFE and other genes involved in iron homeostasis

    Author : Petra Holmström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Hereditary hemochromatosis; iron overload; HFE gene mutations; porphyria cutanea tarda; HFE gene; iron metabolism-related genes; iron homeostasis; liver; inflammation; and hepatocellular carcinoma;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the clinical significance of HFE mutations was further investigated, and the molecular mechanisms underlying the disturbed iron homeostasis during hemochromatosis, inflammation and hepatocellular carcinoma were studied in experimental models. Hereditary hemochromatosis (HH) is a prevalent autosomal recessive iron overload disorder caused by increased intestinal absorption and deposition of iron in vital organs, leading to organ damage.

  5. 18. Development of ATR-FTIR Kretschmann Spectroscopy for In situ Studies of Metal / Polymer Interfaces : and its Intergration with EIS for Exposure to Corrosive Conditions

    Author : Maria Öhman; Christofer Leygraf; Herman Terryn; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Surface and colloid chemistry; Yt- och kolloidkemi;

    Abstract : The environmental stability of a metal / polymer interface is essential for the durability and mechanical stability of constructions in several important areas such as the automotive, offshore, building and aerospace industries. The protective capability of a polymer film is strongly connected to its barrier properties, but the transport of water and corrosive constituents through the polymer and the subsequent processes at the metal surface are complicated to analyse in detail.
