  4. 17. Studies on Peripheral Nerve Regeneration: Microdispensing, Neurite Guidance and Galectins

    Author : Per Gustavsson; Funktionell zoologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; vävnadskultur; histokemi; cytokemi; Histologi; tissue culture; histochemistry; cytochemistry; Histology; Schwann cells; sciatic nerve; dorsal root ganglia; DRG; neurite guidance; galectins; inkjet; microdispensing; peripheral nervous system; nerve regeneration; Animal physiology; Djurfysiologi; Biotechnology; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : The present thesis describes development of a microdispenser-based technique to create of protein patterns for neurite guidance. The same technique was also developed to allow direct positioning of dissociated cells, including neurons, on cell culture substrates. Finally the role of galectin-3 and 8 during nerve regeneration was investigated. READ MORE

  5. 18. On cholecystokinin-opioid interaction in the spinal dorsal horn following peripheral nerve injury and inflammation

    Author : Guilherme de Araújo Lucas; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Cholecystokinin; Cholecystokinin receptors; Morphine; Spinal cord; Axotomy; Inflammation; Peptide release; Morphine tolerance; [my]-opioid receptor; Flexor reflex; Microdialysis;

    Abstract : The peptide cholecystokinin (CCK) antagonizes opioid-induced analgesia. Conversely, antagonists of CCK receptors enhance the analgesic effect of opioids. Together, these results support a role for CCK as an anti-opioid peptide in pain mechanisms. READ MORE

  6. 19. Neuropeptide release in the rat dorsal horn in models of persistent pain : effects of opioids

    Author : Abdullahi Warsame Afrah; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Axotomy; Inflammation; Long term potentiation; Capsaicin; Opioids; Cholecystokinin; Substance P; Glutamate; NMDA; Spinal cord; Microdialysis; Radioimmunoassay.;

    Abstract : Nerve injury and tissue inflammation may lead to exaggerated responses to both noxious stimuli (hyperalgesia) and innocuous stimuli (allodynia). Altered release pattems of neurotransmitters in the dorsal hom of the spinal cord have been suggested to contribute to hyperalgesia and allodynia. READ MORE

  7. 20. Effects of nucleus pulposus on nerve root circulation and function. Morphologic and functional studies in an experimental model using porcine spinal nerve roots

    Author : Gunnar Byröd; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Nerve root; dorsal root ganglion; intervertebral disc; nucleus pulposus; epidural space; nerve fibre; permeability; blood flow; sciatica;

    Abstract : Sciatica due to lumbar disc herniation has for many decades been viewed as a consequence of mechanical compression exerted on spinal nerve roots by the bulging disc tissues. Recent research has, however, indicated that extruded nucleus pulposus (NP) from the intervertebral disc might cause functional and endoneurial morphological changes in spinal nerve roots, without mechanical compression.
