  1. 21. Schwann cells and mesenchymal stem cells as promoter of peripheral nerve regeneration

    Author : Maria Cristina Mantovani; Mikael Wiberg; Giorgio Terenghi; Susan Shawcross; Lev Novikov; Liudmila Novikova; John W Haycock; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; peripheral nerve regeneration; Schwann cell; adult stem cell; myelin; senescence;

    Abstract : The transplantation of primary Schwann cells (SC) has been shown to improve nerve regeneration. However, to monitor the survival of transplanted cells within the host, a stable labelling method is required. READ MORE

  2. 22. Intracellular Degradation of Insulin in Pancreatic Islets

    Author : Monica Sandberg; L.A.Håkan Borg; Stellan Sandler; Arne Andersson; Albert Salehi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Cell biology; Cellbiologi;

    Abstract : There is a substantial intracellular degradation of insulin in pancreatic islets. This may be a physiological process, which, in correspondence with biosynthesis and secretion of insulin, would optimize the secretory granule content of the pancreatic β-cell. READ MORE

  3. 23. Shoulder impingement; Evaluation of the clinical outcome, radiographic findings, histology, ultrastructure and biochemistry

    Author : Stefanos Farfaras; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Impingement syndrome; Cytokines; Acromioplasty; Physiotherapy; Tissue degeneration; Tissue inflammation;

    Abstract : This thesis had two main purposes: on the one hand, to assess and evaluate the clinical outcome of different treatment strategies for subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS), in both the short and the long term and, on the other hand, to investigate and illuminate the pathophysiology of the syndrome in terms of the radiographic, histological, ultrastructural and biochemical appearance. In Study I, the clinical outcome was assessed two to three years after intervention, in patients with SAIS who underwent either surgical (subacromial decompression using the open or arthroscopic technique) or non-surgical treatment.

  4. 24. The enterocyte in small intestinal adaption : an experimental and clinicopathological study with special reference to the ultrastructure of the brush border

    Author : Roger Stenling; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Scanning electron microscopy; transmission electron microscopy; stereology;

    Abstract : The small intestine mucosa is known to be able to adapt itself to several kinds of both physiological and pathological conditions. The adaptive patterns of the structure of the enterocytes, particularly their apical surface (brush border), were studied in three models: (1) in rats, subjected to antrectomy or antral exclusion, combined with gastroduodenostomy and gastrojejunostomy; (2) in rats with alloxan dia­betes; (3) in children with coeliac disease; a) in its active phase; b) after long-term treatment with gluten-free diets; c) after long-term challenge with dietary gluten following treatment; d) after short-term elimination of dietary gluten.

  5. 25. Immune cells in pregnant uterine mucosa : functional properties, cellular composition and tissue organization

    Author : Lucia Mincheva-Nilsson; Sten Hammarström; Rolf Kiessling; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; immunologically privileged site; TCR γδ cells; CD56 cells; large granular lymphocytes; immunosuppression; cytokine; interleukin; lymphoid cell cluster; intraepithelial lymphocytes; glandular epithelium; immuno electron microscopy; pregnancy; decidua; lactoferrin; lactoferrin receptor; colostrum;

    Abstract : The pregnant uterus mucosa - decidua - is an "immunologically privileged" site. A semiallogeneic embryo is allowed to survive, develop, and grow while the same tissue implanted outside the uterus will be rejected. The decidua basalis, which participates in the placenta formation, is a tissue rich in lymphoid cells. READ MORE
