  2. 1. Herpesvirus-induced glycans: Selectin ligands and related structures on the surface of the infected cell

    Author : Rickard Nordén; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Virology; Glycobiology; Herpesvirus; Selectin ligand;

    Abstract : Human herpesviruses are usually acquired early in life and are widely distributed in the population. A common feature of all human herpesviruses is that they persist in the host after the primary infection. READ MORE

  4. 2. Synthetic analogs of sialyl Lewis x

    Author : Ulf Ellervik; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; stereoselective synthesis; regioselective synthesis; lactam analogs; lactone; Selectin; Sialyl Lewis x; SLex; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

    Abstract : The sialyl Lewis x (SLex) tetrasaccharide is the smallest recognizable ligand for selectins. The selectins constitute a vital part of the inflammatory cascade for recruitment of leukocytes to a site of tissue damage or microbial infection. READ MORE

  5. 3. Mediator synergism in mast celldependent inflammation : role of histamine for leukocyte recruitment

    Author : Henrik Thorlacius; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Chemoattractants; dexamethasone; histamine; inflammation; intravital microscopy; mast cells; leukocyte adhesion; leukocyte rolling; microcirculation; mast cells; nitric oxide; leukotrienes; P-selectin.;

    Abstract : The aim of the present thesis was to study functional interactions between histamine and chemotactic mediators, and the role of histamine for leukocyte recruitment in mast cell-dependent inflammation. Leukocyte rolling, adhesion and emigration. READ MORE

  6. 4. On Microvascular Inflammation and Intestinal Leakage in Radiation Enteropathy

    Author : Andrada Röme; Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; radiation; colon; intestinal leakage; Leukocyte and platelet recruitment;

    Abstract : Gastrointestinal tract damage is an insidious feature in patients undergoing radiotherapy. Microvascular inflammation, including leukocyte and platelet recruitment as well as epithelial barrier dysfunction, are considered to constitute key components in the pathophysiology of radiation-induced enteropathy.

  7. 5. Interactions between leukocytes, platelets and the endothelium in vein graft failure

    Author : Chi-Nan Tseng; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Autologous venous grafts are preferred conduits in bypass surgery due to their length, easy harvesting, and feasibility. However, development of intimal hyperplasia decreases long-term patency rate in venous grafts prompting close clinical surveillance and further intervention. READ MORE
