  2. 11. Granulocyte Adhesion to Matrix Proteins and the Effect on the Release of Granule Proteins : Development of a Simple Method and its Application in Experimental and Clinical Studies

    Author : Xiaoyan Xu; Joachim Lundahl; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Eosinophils; Neutrophils; Adhesion; Release of ECP; Extracellular matrix proteins; Granulocytes; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Clinical Chemistry; klinisk kemi;

    Abstract : Granulocyte adhesion and release of their granule proteins are key steps during selective accumulation of a certain cell to an inflammatory site. Eosinophils are specifically recruited to sites of allergic inflammation and parasitic infection, whereas neutrophil influx predominates in bacterial infection and rheumatoid arthritis. READ MORE

  4. 12. Airway allergic inflammation. A role of bone marrow and relationship to substance P

    Author : Masafumi Tomaki; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; asthma; eosinophils; bone marrow; T lymphocytes; IL-3; IL-5; GM-CSF; substance P.;

    Abstract : Airway inflammation, along with reversible airway narrowing and airway hyperresponsiveness, is a central pathophysiological feature of bronchial asthma. The airway inflammation in asthma is dominated by eosinophils, cells that originate in the bone marrow. READ MORE

  5. 13. Intestinal Bypass and Total Parenteral Nutrition: Changes in Gut Function and Morphology

    Author : Mikael Ekelund; Lund Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi; orthopaedics; Surgery; Gastroenterologi; Gastro-enterology; Fysiologi; Physiology; total parenteral nutrition; supersensitivity; plasticity; intestinal bypass; interstitial cells of Cajal; goblet cells; eosinophils; adaptation; enteric nervous system;

    Abstract : Abolition of enteral nutrition is sometimes required in severe illness. The primary aim of the present work has been to elucidate possible changes in intestinal morphology and motor function in absence of enteral nutrition. Total absence of enteral nutrition in an isolated intestinal segment was created by bypassing the distal ileum in a rat model. READ MORE

  6. 14. Eosinophil Inflammation in Allergic Disease : Clinical and experimental studies in allergic asthma and allergic rhinitis

    Author : Mary Kämpe; Marie Carlson; Christer Janson; Gunnemar Stålenheim; Magnus Sköld; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Allergic asthma; allergic rhinitis; eosinophils; pollen season; bronchial challenge; nasal challenge eosinophil degranulation; PI3K signalling; Allergology; Allergologi; Lung Medicine; Lungmedicin; Lung Medicine; Lungmedicin;

    Abstract : Allergic diseases are chronic inflammatory conditions, characterised by eosinophil inflammation systemically and in target organs, where cytotoxic granule proteins are responsible for tissue injury. Allergic rhinitis is known to be a risk factor for the development of asthma, yet not all with rhinitis develop asthma. READ MORE

  7. 15. Hodgkin Lymphoma in children, adolescents and young adults

    Author : Annika Englund; Gustaf Ljungman; Gunilla Enblad; Rose-Marie Amini; Daniel Molin; Ingrid Øra; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hodgkin; pediatric; adolescent; young adults; microenvironment; eosinophils; mast cells; macrophages; Sweden; late adverse effects; Pediatrik; Pediatrics; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science; Oncology; Onkologi;

    Abstract : Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a heterogeneous condition varying from engaging one single lymph node site to a widespread condition. The prognosis with contemporary treatment is excellent for the vast majority. However, the treatment might cause severe late adverse effects in a proportion of the affected individuals. READ MORE
