2. 21. Bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis. Studies on classic BPS/IC, ESSIC type 3C, with special reference to the role of nitric oxide

   Author : Yr Logadottir; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bladder Pain Syndrome BPS ; Interstitial Cystitis IC ; Nitric Oxide NO ; Nitric Oxide Synthase NOS ; Inflammatory mediators; Interleukin-17; Mast cells;

   Abstract : Patients presenting with symptoms of Bladder Pain Syndrome (BPS) are challenging to the urologist. Previously known as Interstitial Cystitis (IC), this syndrome has been extensively debated and investigated. IC mainly affects women, only 1 or 2 out of 10 patients are males. READ MORE

4. 22. Nasal airway nitric oxide : methodological aspects and influence of inflammation

   Author : Jörgen Palm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Asthma; breath test; exhaled air; rhinitis; sinuses; sinusitis; diurnal variation; gender; nasal; oral; nitric oxide; volume flow rate; AIDS; HIV; endotoxin; gut; human; shock; allergy.;

   Abstract : Nitric oxide (NO) is an endogenously formed free radical gas involved in numerous biological processes. In 1991 NO was discovered to be present in exhaled air of humans. Soon after, it was reported that the largest amounts of NO were found in the upper airways, and that the levels of NO were increased in the lower airways of patients with asthma. READ MORE

5. 23. Human polymorphonuclear granulocytes in inflammation : studies with an emphasis on nitric oxide

   Author : Gerd Lärfars; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Polymorphonuclear granulocytes; inflammation; nitric oxide; leukotrienes; tumor necrois factor; rheumatoid arthritis; interferon-gamma; chronic granulomatous disease;

   Abstract : The function of the polymorphonuclear neutrophil granulocyte (PMN) is of vital importance in inflammation. For the defense against infections PMNs are armored with different weapons such as chemotaxis, phagocytosis and production of cytotoxic substances. READ MORE

6. 24. Post-Transcriptional Regulation of the Murine Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene

   Author : Malin Söderberg; Matti A. Lang; Françoise Raffalli-Mathieu; Eeva Moilanen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutical biochemistry; iNOS; inducible nitric oxide synthase; gene regulation; post-transcriptional; mRNA stability; RNA-protein interactions; dexamethasone; murine; heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein; hnRNPI; hnRNPL; Farmaceutisk biokemi; Pharmaceutical biochemistry; Farmaceutisk biokemi;

   Abstract : Large amounts of nitric oxide (NO) are produced by the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) upon inflammatory stimuli. NO is a multifaceted molecule, which may have beneficial effects as an antimicrobial agent in the immune defense, or cytotoxic effects in chronic inflammations, manifested as e.g. arthritis and asthma.

7. 25. Nitric oxide : a marker for inflammation in the lower urinary tract

   Author : Abolfazl Hosseini; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The main aim of this work is to investigate the role of Nitric oxide (NO) as a diagnostic marker for inflammation in the lower urinary tract. NO exerts multiple modulating effects on inflammation and plays a key role in the regulation of immune responses. NO is formed enzymatically in vivo from Larginine by several NO synthases (NOS).
