2. 1. Neuroendocrine Stress Response after Burn Trauma

   Author : Andreas Lindahl; Bengt Gerdin; Lisa Ekselius; Kristofer Rubin; Riddez Louis; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Burn; Injuries; Neuroendocrine; Intensive Care; Cortisol; Chromogranin A; Natriuretic peptides; Plastikkirurgi; Plastic Surgery;

   Abstract : Some aspects of the stress response during acute intensive care for severe burns are described and quantified by measuring hormonal and neuroendocrine patterns and relating these to organ function in the short term. This includes an assessment of whether there are markers for the severity of stress that are better than conventional descriptors of the severity of a burn in predicting failing organ function.

4. 2. Oncolytic Adenovirus Therapy of Neuroendocrine Tumors

   Author : Justyna Leja; Magnus Essand; Valeria Giandomenico; Akseli Hemminki; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adenovirus; virotherapy; oncolytic virus; neuroendocrine tumors; chromogranin A; somatostatin receptors; microRNA; novel biomarkers; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; Oncology; Onkologi; Virology; Virologi; Tumour biology; Tumörbiologi; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap; Oncology; Onkologi; Medical Virology; Medicinsk virologi; Molekylär cellbiologi; Molecular Cellbiology;

   Abstract : Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), originally described as carcinoids, represent a rare and heterogeneous group of neoplasms associated with intensive secretion of hormones, bioactive peptides and amines. Most of the patients are diagnosed at a late stage of disease, often with liver metastases. READ MORE

5. 3. Expression of Neuroendocrine Markers in Normal and Neoplastic Tissue with an Emphasis on Ghrelin and Obestatin

   Author : Malin Grönberg; Eva Tiensuu Janson; Apostolos Tsolakis; Jan Saras; Mauro Papotti; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : ghrelin; obestatin; neuroendocrine marker; immunohistochemistry; neuroendocrine tumors; breast cancer; mammary glands; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Endokrinologi och Diabetologi; Endocrinology and Diabetology;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to characterize the expression of the peptides ghrelin and obestatin, as well as other neuroendocrine markers in human normal tissues, in invasive breast cancer and a wide panel of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). In normal tissues the expression of ghrelin and obestatin was mainly localized to the gastric mucosa, and in lesser extent in the remaining gastrointestinal tract, endocrine pancreas and mammary glands.

6. 4. In vitro studies on intestinal epithelial cell proliferation : effects of cytokines, Helicobacter pylori, serotonin and neuroendocrine peptides

   Author : Kristina Zachrisson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Ammonia; Apoptosis; cell culture; cytokines; DNA synthesis; FHs-74 cells; Helicobacter pylori; IEC-6 cells; mitosis; neuroendocrine peptides; organ culture; serotonin;

   Abstract : Previous studies suggest that bacteria and bacterial metabolites, proinflammatory cytokines, neuroendocrine peptides and amines may participate in the regulation of the gastrointestinal-epithelial cell kinetics. The complexity of interactions that take place in vivo makes it difficult to define the primary actions of these and other agents on gastrointestinal cell proliferation. READ MORE

7. 5. The possible role of gut neuroendocrine peptides and amines in the pathogenesis and treatment of colorectal cancer

   Author : Basel Sitohy; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Abnormalities in colonic neuroendocrine peptides/amines were observed inrats with chemically induced colon carcinoma. This supports the assumption that neuroendocrine peptides and amines of the gut seem to be involved inthe carcinogenesis of colorectal carcinoma. READ MORE
