  2. 6. Thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) in different hemorrhagic and thrombotic conditions

    Author : Jovan P Antovic; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor TAFI ; coagulation; fibrinolysis; thrombin; plasmin; factor V Leiden; hemophilia; von Willebrand disease; diabetes mellitus; preeclampsia;

    Abstract : Until recently the coagulation and fibrinolytic systems were usually considered as separate entities. Accounts of a fibrinolysis inhibitor that is generated by thrombin shed more light on this field and changed the concept by giving thrombin, the pivotal enzyme in hemostasis, another important role in the down-regulation of fibrinolysis.

  4. 7. Thrombin generation in different cohorts : Evaluation of the haemostatic potential

    Author : Roza Chaireti; Tomas Lindahl; Elvar Theodorsson; Sven Almer; Per Morten Sandset; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to evaluate thrombin generation in patients with thrombophilia (Paper I), in patients with venous thromboembolism (Paper II), in healthy women during the menstrual cycle (Paper III), in patients with liver disease (Paper IV) and in patients with mild deficiency of factor VII (Paper V).For this purpose, thrombin generation was measured in platelet poor plasma by the calibrated automated thrombogram (CAT®) assay.

  5. 8. The Role of Innate Immunity in Islet Transplantation : Clinical and Experimental Studies

    Author : Lisa Moberg; Bo Nilsson; Olle Korsgren; Kristina Nilsson Ekdahl; Rolf Larsson; David Harlan; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunology; diabetes; islet transplantation; islet of Langerhans; coagulation activation; IBMIR; tissue factor; thrombin; inactivated FVIIa; melagatran; neutrophilic granulocyte; Immunologi; Immunology; Immunologi;

    Abstract : Clinical islet transplantation is an emerging procedure to cure type 1 diabetes. The graft is implanted by infusion into the liver through the portal vein. A major obstacle that still needs to be overcome is the requirement for islets from multiple donors to achieve insulin independence. READ MORE

  6. 9. Novel Aspects of the Coagulation System in Host Defence

    Author : Praveen Papareddy; Lund Dermatologi och venereologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Host defence peptides; Coagulation system; Sepsis; Thrombin; TFPI-1; TFPI-2; HCII;

    Abstract : Bacterial infections are a major global threat to public health and sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Sepsis incidence is rising, with supportive treatments and antibiotics being the main treatment possibilities. READ MORE

  7. 10. Synthesis of β-turn and pyridine based peptidomimetics

    Author : David Blomberg; Jan Kihlberg; Kay Brickmann; Torbjörn Frejd; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Peptidomimetics; beta-turn; beta-strand; pyridine scaffold; Grignard exchange reaction; SNAr reaction; thrombin inhibitor; Leu-enkephalin.; Organic synthesis; Organisk syntes;

    Abstract : Despite the unfavorable pharmacokinetic properties associated with peptides, they are still of great interest in drug development due to a multitude of interesting biological functions. The development of peptidomimetics strives to maintain or improve the biological activity of a peptide concurrently with removing the unwanted properties. READ MORE
