  2. 6. Remote Ischemic Preconditioning and its Effects on the Respiratory System

    Author : Astrid Bergmann; Anders Larsson; Göran Hedenstierna; Thomas Hachenberg; Ola Winsö; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; one-lung ventilation; ventilation-induced lung injury; alveolar immune response; remote ischemic preconditioning; exhaled nitric oxide; animal model; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care;

    Abstract : Mechanical ventilation in itself can lead to pulmonary damage, and one-lung ventilation (OLV), necessary for thoracic surgery, accentuates this injury. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIP) is a potential tool to reduce lung injury after mechanical ventilation, including OLV.  However, current data on pulmonary RIP-effects are contradictory.

  4. 7. Preclinical tumor-immune modeling : For the identification of immunomodulatory drugs

    Author : Tove Selvin; Mårten Fryknäs; Rolf Larsson; Claes Andersson; Malin Jarvius; Brinton Seashore-Ludlow; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immuno-oncology; anti-cancer drugs; preclinical modeling; drug screening; repurposing;

    Abstract : For a long time, the field of cancer research was dominated by a tumor cell-centric view. That, however, changed once it became recognized that medical cancer treatment is largely influenced by the combined effect exerted on both cancer and immune cells. READ MORE

  5. 8. Effect of thimerosal on the murine immune system : especially induction of systemic autoimmunity

    Author : Said Havarinasab; Per Hultman; Klas Nordlind; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; thimerosal; ethylmercury; autoimmunity; mice; immunosuppression; Th1; Th2; Pathology; Patologi;

    Abstract : The organic mercury compound ethylmercurithiosalicylate (thimerosal), an antiseptic and a preservative, has recently raised public health concern due to its presence in vaccines globally. Thimerosal dissociates in the body to thiosalicylate and ethyl mercury (EtHg), which is partly converted to inorganic mercuric mercury (Hg2+). READ MORE

  6. 9. Drosophila immune responses in a model for epithelial hypertrophy

    Author : Robert Krautz; Ulrich Theopold; Hugo Stocker; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular Biology; molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : Apoptosis, differentiation and proliferation have to be tightly balanced and thus regulated to maintain tissue homeostasis. Stress, metabolic cues, genetic variability, infections and physiological host-commensal interactions influence this balance and thus need to be integrated. Therefore, beyond the discrimination between self and non-self (i.e. READ MORE

  7. 10. Dental acrylates and methacrylates - Interactions with the immune system

    Author : Sara Alizadehgharib; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acrylates; Methacrylates; Antibodies; NLRP3 inflammasome; Cytokines; Mice; Hydrogen sulfide;

    Abstract : Professionals working in dentistry have reported adverse effects, such as allergic contact dermatitis due to exposure to different methacrylates/acrylates. Leakage of such monomers from dental fillings due to incomplete curing is also common. READ MORE
