2. 16. Experimental skin flaps and nitric oxide

   Author : Örjan Gribbe; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Surgical flaps; nitric oxide; ischemia; reperfusion; nitrite; laser Doppler; transit-time ultrasound flowmetry; electron microscopy; NO donors; NOS inhibitors;

   Abstract : Surgical flaps are used in plastic surgery to reconstruct tissue defects due to trauma or cancer removal. Occasionally flaps are subjected to ischemia and reperfusion injury leading to flap failure. READ MORE

4. 17. Nitric oxide and extravasation in endotoxaemia : an experimental study

   Author : Kerstin Metcalf; Mikael Bodelsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Background: Despite advances in intensive care the mortality of patients in septic shock is still high. In early stages the condition is characterised by circulatory failure that is a consequence of myocardial depression, vasodilatation with decreased sensitivity to catecholamine stimulation and increased loss of protein and fluid from the circulation.

5. 18. Nitric oxide in tuberculosis and leprosy

   Author : Thomas Schön; Gilla Kaplan; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a global disease that kills about two million people each year. Leprosy is caused by Mycobacterium leprae, and primarily affects the skin and peripheral nervous system. READ MORE

6. 19. Nitric oxide in inflammatory bowel disease

   Author : Tryggve Ljung; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The aim of this study was to study nitric oxide (NO) in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with a special reference to disease activity and disease location, in bolls an adult and a pediatric patient population, using rectal gas sampling. Furthermore, we investigated the cellular source of the measured NO as well as the relationship between the expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and the proinflammatory TNF-alpha, IL-10 and INF-gamma.

7. 20. Nitric Oxide Synthase in Pancreatic Islets During Trauma and Parenteral Feeding

   Author : Saleem Qader; Islet cell physiology; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi; Gastroenterologi; Gastro-enterology; Pancreatitis; Ghrelin; TPN; cNOS; iNOS; PACAP; VIP; cAMP; Pancreatic islets; Insulin secretion;

   Abstract : The influence of trauma (acute pancreatitis) or total parenteral nutrition (TPN) on pancreatic islet hormone secretion in relation to islet expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was investigated. Acute pancreatitis resulted in an impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) which was found to be parallelled by a marked expression of iNOS and an exaggerated NO production in the pancreatic islets.
