2. 1. Antibody responses in genital secretions and serum after mucosal vaccination in humans

   Author : Lotta Wassén; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : genital immunity; antibodies; mucosal vaccination; cervical secretions; vaginal fluids;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to study the induction of B-cell immune responses in genital secretion and serum after mucosal vaccination in women. Oral inactivated B subunit whole-cell (B-WC) cholera vaccine and recombinant cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) alone were used as model immunogens. READ MORE

4. 2. Aiway Mucins: experimental models for studies of secretions

   Author : Naila Svitacheva; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cystic fibrosis; bovine trachea; radiolabelling; cell line; primary cell culture; organ culture; mucus; mucin; Endocrinology; secreting systems; diabetology; Endokrinologi; sekretion; diabetologi;

   Abstract : Mucins are essential components of the mucosal barrier. The complexity of the airway mucosal barrier is reflected in the lack of specific treatments to block mucin hypersecretion associated with several respiratory diseases such as chronic bronchitis, asthma and cystic fibrosis.

5. 3. Testosterone and 17beta-oestradiol secretions in children and adolescents. Assay development, levels for comparison and clinical applications

   Author : Carina Ankarberg-Lindgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : 17beta-oestradiol; testosterone; sensitive assay; data for comparison; prepuberty; puberty; children; pubertal induction.;

   Abstract : Accurate measurements of 17beta-oestradiol and testosterone are important in clinical settings of pubertal disorders and hormone replacement therapy among children. Most assays for measurement of these steroids are optimised for fertility investigations in adults and are not sensitive enough for quantification in children. READ MORE

6. 4. Aspects on chronic stress and glucose metabolism in women with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis and in women with localized provoked vulvodynia

   Author : Sophia Ehrström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis; localized provoked vulvodynia ; vulvar vestibulitis syndrome; Hypothalamus Pituitary Adrenal-axis; salivary cortisol; chronic stress; morning awakening cortisol; oral glucose tolerance testing; glucose in vaginal secretions; plasma glucose; body mass index;

   Abstract : Objective: To evaluate the degree of stress in women with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) and in women with localized provoked vulvodynia (LPV) (former vulvar vestibulitis syndrome) compared with controls. To measure the change of glucose in plasma and in vaginal secretions during oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT) in women with RVVC, and in healthy control subjects. READ MORE

7. 5. On the adsorption behaviour of saliva and purified salivary proteins at solid/liquid interfaces

   Author : Liselott Lindh; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; acidic proline-rich proteins; adsorption; BSM; diffusion; ellipsometry; interfaces; mass transport limitation; mucins; MUC5B; saliva; salivary proteins; statherin; surface properties;

   Abstract : Den salivfilm som bildas genom selektiv proteinadsorption på ytor i munhålan har stor profylaktisk betydelse genom sin skyddande funktion och befrämjar därigenom oral hälsa. Några av de adsorberade komponenterna har smörjande funktion (t ex muciner, sura prolinrika proteiner (PRP) och statherin), som är viktig bl a för att förhindra slitage mellan tandytor vid tuggning och hos gnisslare.
