2. 1. Studies of Experimental Bacterial Translocation

   Author : Anders Stenbäck; Cecilia Johnsson; Staffan Meurling; Bengt Jeppsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; Intestinal barrier; short bowel syndrome; small bowel transplantation; mesenteric lymph nodes; gadolinium chloride; T cell inactivation; glutamine; phosphatidylcholine; rat; Thiry-Vella loop; Kirurgi; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Abstract : One of the main obstacles to maintaining patients with short bowel syndrome on parenteral nutrition, or successfully transplanting these patients with a small bowel graft, is the many severe infections that occur. Evidence is accumulating that translocating bacteria from the patient’s bowel causes a significant part of these infections. READ MORE

4. 2. Studies on production and function of pulmonary nitric oxide

   Author : Christofer Adding; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : adrenaline; adrenoceptors; beta-adrenoceptors; calcium; carbon dioxide; catecholamines; chemiluminescence; exhaled; gadolinium chloride; high frequency oscillatory ventilation; nitric oxide; pulmonary; pulmonary circulation; stretch; sympathoadrenal; veratrine;

   Abstract : Nitric oxide is involved in pulmonary vascular and bronchial regulation and appears to be of paramount importance in the adaptation of the pulmonary circulation at birth. Nitric oxide is present in exhaled gas. READ MORE

5. 3. Mechanisms of adaptation in a mechanoreceptor : a study of mechanical and ionic factors in the crayfish stretch receptors

   Author : Nuhan Purali; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Crayfish; stretch receptor; adaptation; visco-elastic properties; mechanosensitive channels; potassium channels; sodium channels; gadolinium; tetraethylammonium chloride; 4-amino pyridine; scorpion venom Leiurus quinquestrialus;

   Abstract : The stretch receptor organ of the crayfish, an analog to the human muscle spindle, is a unique preparation for the study of mechanotransduction. The organ consists of a rapidly and a slowly adapting receptor each composed of a receptor muscle fibre into which inserts the dendrites of a multipolar sensory neuron. READ MORE

   Abstract : With the rapid advancement of technology, the demand for elements such as rare earth metals (REMs) has increased considerably during the last decade. Many countries are facing problems securing sustainable supplies, a fact acknowledged in many publications. READ MORE

7. 5. Cytokines, alcohol metabolizing enzymes and stress-inducible ER proteins in alcoholic liver disease

   Author : Che Fang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The release of inflammatory cytokines by Kupffer cells is believed to be a key step in the pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Kupffer cells are activated not only by endotoxins [lipopolysaccharides (LPS)] but also by the lipid peroxidation products generated mainly via ethanol-inducible cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) redox cycling.
