2. 6. Multi-level characterization of host and pathogen in Helicobacter pylori-associated gastric carcinogenesis

   Author : Kaisa Thorell; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gastroenterology; cancer; infection; Helicobacter pylori; sequencing; genomics; transcriptomics; genomics;

   Abstract : Today, more than half of the world’s population is infected with Helicobacter pylori, and two to three per cent of these will develop gastric cancer associated with this infection. Gastric cancer is today the third largest cause of cancer mortality worldwide, with more than 700 000 deaths annually, a number that is expected to increase. H. READ MORE

4. 7. Genetic susceptibility to cervical and gastric cancer

   Author : Patrik Magnusson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; cervical cancer; gastric cancer; genetic susceptibility; familiality; heritability; HPV; Helicobacter pylori; genetic association; HLA; P53; loss of heterozygosity; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Medical Genetics; medicinsk genetik;

   Abstract : Cervical and gastric cancer both to a large extent depend on infectious agents. Cervical infection with human papilloma virus increases the risk for cervical cancer substantially, and infection with the bacteria Helicobacter pylori increases the risk for gastric cancer. READ MORE

5. 8. Individual Support for Cancer Patients : Effects, Patient Satisfaction and Utilisation

   Author : Maria Hellbom; Christoffer Johansen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Medical sciences; Cancer; individual support; patient satisfaction; utilisation; prediction; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Caring Sciences; omvårdnadsforskning med samhällsvetenskaplig inriktning;

   Abstract : The aims of this thesis are threefold: (1) To investigate cancer patients’ satisfaction with and utilisation of an Individual Psychological Support (IPS) intervention. (2) To evaluate the effects of Individual Support (IS), comprising IPS combined with Intensified Primary Health Care and Nutritional Support, on psychological distress and quality of life during the first year after diagnosis.

6. 9. SODIUM/IODIDE SYMPORTER-NIS Abundant and Important in Gastric Mucosa

   Author : Malin Josefsson; Neurogastroenterologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ussing chamber; MNNG; gastric iodide secretion; ouabain; gastric cancer; sodium perchlorate; gastric NIS; bile duct cancer; Sodium iodide symporter;

   Abstract : ABSTRACT Background: Iodine is essential for development and growth as a constituent in thyroid hormones. Biological mechanisms for iodide uptake and concentration are very important, espe-cially as iodine is a relatively scarce element. READ MORE

7. 10. TGF-beta signaling in cancer

   Author : Erik Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TGF-β; proliferation; cancer; tumor suppressor; diffuse-type gastric carcinoma; neuroblastoma; nuclear receptor TLX; cancer stem cell; angiogenesis; ABCG2; VHL; HIF2α; hypoxia; Smad3;

   Abstract : Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-β) is a cytokine regulating a wide range of cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, and migration. At the early stages of cancer development TGF-β functions as a tumor suppressor, mainly due to its inhibitory effect on cellular growth, but during cancer progression, mutations in TGF-β signal components switches TGF-β into a promoter of cancer cell proliferation, survival and metastasis.
