2. 11. Systemic inflammatory activation during cardiac Surgery. Influence of cardiopulmonary bypass management and patient factors

   Author : Martin Westerberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : cardiopulmonary bypass; inflammatory response; coagulation; CABG; cardiotomy suction; cytokines;

   Abstract : Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass is accompanied by a prominent systemic inflammatory and hemostatic activation, which may contribute to postoperative complications. Aims: To investigate if selection of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) system and management of cardiotomy suction (CTS) and mediastinal shed blood (MSB) affect systemic inflammatory response. READ MORE

4. 12. INITIATION OF EXPERIMENTAL ACUTE PANCREATITIS AND MODULATION OF INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE

   Author : Jakob B Axelsson; Lund Kirurgi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nuclear factor kappa B; neutrophils; monocytes; acute pancreatitis; ductal cells; active site-inhibited factor seven; heparan sulfate; lipopolysaccharide; innate immune response;

   Abstract : Heparan sulfate (HS), a substance common in the extracellular matrix on epithelial cells is present in the pancreas, lining the duct lumen. During pathological conditions, we propose that it can be shed from the ECM and bind to receptors on the cell surface, thus triggering an inflammatory response, which if excessive can cause acute pancreatitis (AP).

5. 13. Host response in sepsis

   Author : Ingrid Berkestedt; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; severe sepsis; contact system; glycosaminoglycan; antimicrobial peptide; human;

   Abstract : Sepsis is a serious condition characterized by a systemic inflammatory response to an infection. Increased vascular leakage, vasodilation and heart failure cause circulatory disturbances challenging the intensivist. Despite modern medication and high technology supportive care, mortality is high. READ MORE

6. 14. Protein S-100, inflammatory and haemostatic mediators in paediatric open heart surgery. Influence of clinical variables and a biocompatible cardiopulmonary bypass system

   Author : Eva Jensen; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiopulmonary bypass; biocompatible; S-100; Down s syndrome; inflammatory response; complement; cytokines; PMN elastase; haemostasis; coagulation; fibrinolysis;

   Abstract : Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is used in most operations when correcting congenital heart malformations. Postoperative neurological problems (temporary or permanent) are complications of the procedure. These neurological injuries, especially if they are minor, are difficult to recognise in small children. READ MORE

7. 15. Cobalt in the hard metal production industry : exposure via inhalation and skin and the inflammatory response in human keratinocytes

   Author : Maria Klasson; Eva Särndahl; Håkan Westberg; Magnus Lindberg; Alexander Persson; Kristina Jakobsson; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cobalt; cobalt chloride; skin; HaCaT; in vitro; cell viability; pro-inflammatory cytokines; NLRP3 inflammasome;

   Abstract : Cobalt is a strong sensitizer and can cause contact allergy upon both direct contact or from airborne exposure on the skin. In the skin, keratinocytes are the first cells to come in contact with the metal and will react and respond to the danger by triggering an alarm system resulting in an inflammatory response in the skin.
