2. 21. Self-rated aggression. Psychobiological aspects and gender issues in medical-psychiatric practice

   Author : Helena Prochazka; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; self-rated aggression; questionnaire; AQ-RSV; physical aggression; verbal aggression; hostility; anger; monoamine metabolites; platelet MAO activity; testosterone; fibromyalgia; depression; gender; sex; female;

   Abstract : Background. The complexities of human aggression are of vital research interest in numerous scientific disciplines. In medical research, aggression is generally studied by means of self- or observer-rated inventories, clinical observations, or neurobiological research. Objectives. READ MORE

4. 22. Molecular genetic studies on cerebrospinal fluid monoamine metabolites in psychotic patients and healthy individuals

   Author : Dimitrios Andreou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Cerebrospinal fluid CSF ;

   Abstract : Dopamine, serotonin and noradrenaline are the major monoamines in the human central nervous system (CNS) and following their basic pathways they are degraded to their major metabolites homovanillic acid (HVA), 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG), respectively. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of the three monoamine metabolites (MM) are considered to reflect the monoamine turnover rates in the CNS, are under genetic influence and have been associated with schizophrenia.

5. 23. Visualization of Peripheral Pain Generating Processes and Inflammation in Musculoskeletal Tissue using [11C]-D-deprenyl PET

   Author : Mikko Aarnio; Torsten Gordh; Jens Sörensen; Magnus Peterson; Lars Ståhle; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ankle injuries; arthritis; binding site; binding target; carbon-11; deprenyl; high-throughput screening; inflammation; monoamine oxi-dase; pain; PET; whiplash; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care;

   Abstract : An objective visualization and quantification of pain-generating processes in the periphery would alter pain diagnosis and represent an important paradigm shift in pain research. Positron emission tomography (PET) radioligand [11C]-D-deprenyl has shown an elevated uptake in painful inflammatory arthritis and whiplash-associated disorder. READ MORE

6. 24. Amine oxidases in dental pulp : a study with special regard to a semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase with catalytic potency towards serotonin

   Author : Astrid Norqvist-Sjöberg; Lars Oreland; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The amine oxidizing capacity of piglet dental pulp tissue has been investigated. At least six separate enzyme activities could be distinguished:- a soluble semicarbazide-sensitive (SSAO) activity towards benzylamine, most likely to be derived from the content of blood plasma within the pulp tissue;- a soluble pulp tissue SSAO activity with most properties in common with the plasma enzyme, however with great efficiency not only regarding benzylamine but also tryptamine;- a tissue bound SSAO activity with activity towards benzylamine, tryptamine, tyramine and ß-phenylethylamine;- a tissue bound semicarbazide-sensitive activity towards serotonin (SSA0-5HT) (a combination of properties never reported before);- a mitochondrially bound and clorgyline-sensitive monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A) activity with activity towards serotonin;- a mitochondrially bound and deprenyl-sensitive MAO-B activity with activity towards e.

7. 25. Juvenile and adult criminality : relationships to platelet MAO activity, triiodothyronine, ADHD, conduct disorder and psychopathy

   Author : Per Olof Alm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Debut age; criminality; risk; monoamine oxidase; triiodothyronine; conduct disorder; psychopathy; juvenile delinquency; longitudinal research;

   Abstract : Indicators for persistent risk criminality in a group of grown up juvenile delinquents were investigated. The subjects had been examined In 'Young Lawbreakers': a study of 192 boys from an urban area, aged 11-14 years in 1959-1963. They had committed crime against property, serious enough for prosecution if not being underaged. READ MORE
