  2. 1. Clinical and molecular studies of liposarcoma

    Author : Katarina Engström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Liposarcoma; radiotherapy; prognostic factors; transfection; FUD-DDIT3; adipogenesis; microarray expression analysis; cell cycle; immunohistochemistry;

    Abstract : Aims: (1) To analyse clinicopathological characteristics, treatment and outcome of liposarcoma, and to determine whether, and how, the Scandinavian Sarcoma Group (SSG) treatment guidelines were followed; (2) to analyse tumour volume and morphology response after radiotherapy in myxoid/round cell liposarcoma (MLS/RCLS); (3) to examine the role of the MLS-specific fusion gene FUS-DDIT3 in development of liposarcomas; and (4) to analyse expression patterns of cell cycle regulating proteins in MLS. Methods: (1) A total of 319 liposarcomas reported between 1986?1998 to the SSG Register were reviewed. READ MORE

  4. 2. TERMINAL FLOWER2, the Arabidopsis HETEROCHROMATIN PROTEIN1 Homolog, and its Involvement in Plant Development

    Author : Katarina Landberg; Annika Sundås Larsson; Peter Engström; Ove Nilsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Biology; Arabidopsis; HETEROCHROMATIN PROTEIN1; flowering; meristem; auxin; Biologi;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the characterization of the Arabidopsis thaliana mutant terminal flower2 (tfl2), the cloning of the corresponding gene, and the analysis of TFL2 function in plant development. The tfl2 mutant is pleiotropic, exhibiting early floral induction in both long and short day conditions, a terminating inflorescence and dwarfing. READ MORE

  5. 3. Patient Perspectives brought to the Fore for Diabetes Care : Descriptions as well as Development and Testing of the Diabetes Questionnaire

    Author : Maria Svedbo Engström; Soffia Gudbjörnsdottir; Janeth Leksell; Katarina Eeg-Olofsson; Unn-Britt Johansson; Margareta Kristensson; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Diabetes Mellitus; Patient-Reported Outcome Measures; Qualitative Research; Surveys and Questionnaires; Cross-Sectional Studies; Hälsa och välfärd; Health and Welfare; Diabetes Mellitus; Patient-Reported Outcome Measures; Qualitative Research; Surveys and Questionnaires; Cross-Sectional Studies;

    Abstract : Aim: The overall aims were to describe perspectives of living with diabetes, to develop a patient-reported outcome and experience measure for the Swedish National Diabetes Register, and to initiate the evaluation of evidence of measurement quality for that measure. A further aim was to describe health-related quality of life and to assess its associations with glycaemic control. READ MORE

  6. 4. Drug Partitioning into Natural and Artificial Membranes : Data Applicable in Predictions of Drug Absorption

    Author : Caroline Engvall; Birgitta Tomkinson; Katarina Edwards; Sven Engström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Bilayer disk; Cholesterol; Drug partitioning; Drugs; Electrostatic effects; Immobilized liposome chromatography; Liposome; Membrane protein; Model membrane; Oligonucleotide-liposome complex; Phospholipid; Phospholipid bilayer; Proteoliposome; Surfactant; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Abstract : When drug molecules are passively absorbed through the cell membrane in the small intestine, the first key step is partitioning of the drug into the membrane. Partition data can therefore be used to predict drug absorption. READ MORE

  7. 5. Bilayer Discs - Fundamental Investigations and Applications of Nanosized Membrane Models

    Author : Emma Johansson; Katarina Edwards; Mats Almgren; Sven Engström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Chemistry; disc; threadlike micelle; liposome; model membrane; drug partitioning; cryo-TEM; Kemi;

    Abstract : The bilayer disc is a flat, lipid aggregate structure in the nanometre regime. It is composed of a bilayer of amphiphilic molecules with micelle-forming amphiphilic molecules supporting the rim, which prevent disc fusion and self-closure. READ MORE
