Regulation by glutamate- and adenosine-receptors of dopamine and acetylcholine release from rat striatal slices
(1997-07-30)
release evoked by the potassium channel blocker 4-AP is at least partly dependent on endogenous glutamate acting on both NMDA (for DA) and non-NMDA receptors (for DA and ACh). Thus, both NMDA and non-NMDA receptors regulating transmitter release...
Inflammatory and degenerative disease in the temporomandibular joint
(1996-03-22)
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthroscopy is an established technique with high diagnostic accuracy regarding synovitis and degenerative changes of the articular fibrocartilage and disk. However, so far no studies have ...
Root surface conditioning in periodontal treatment
(1997-09-05)
Marginal periodontal healing following both invasive and non-invasive therapies is influenced by a large number of systemic and local factors. In order to optimize healing, a lot of effort is put into minimizing possible ...
Psychological processes in somatic disease
(1997-07-29)
examination during a study period of 4 years was made on the basis of detailed therapy notes and medical records, respectively. A method with "life lines" was used to illustrate the course of psychic state and of rheumatic disease.
Result: Six patients...
Leukotriene C4 synthesis and export in human platelets and leukocytes : LTC4 synthase expression in normal and leukemic myeloid cells
(1999-09-03)
Leukotriene (LT)C4 synthase catalyses conjugation of the unstable epoxide LTA4 with reduced glutathione and is the rate-limiting enzyme in the formation of cysteinyl leukotrienes, powerful mediators of asthma and inflammation.
The presence of LTC...
Involvement of T lymphocyte subsets in the rejection of murine tumors by syngeneic or autologous hosts
(1998-01-02)
The aim of this thesis is to study the requirement of CD4+ and CD8+ T Iymphocyte subset, CD28 costimulatory molecule and p56kk for the rejection of syngeneic tumor grafts, and the autochthonous tumors induced by Moloney murine sarcoma virus. It also...
Glutathione transferases : markers for renal disease
(1997-03-25)
Glutathione transferases (GST) alpha and pi were purified to homogeneity and used to develop immunochemical methods for analysis of the amount of these proteins in human urine. The methods were employed for diagnosis of ...
Structures of some bacterial polysaccharides with focus on pneumococcal polysaccharides and their associated C-polysaccharide
(1998-04-24)
of the capsular polysaccharide from Sphingomonas paucimobilis strain 1-886 and the O- polysaccharide part from the lipopolysaccharide of the Hafnia alvei strain Y166/91 is described. The principal methods used in these studies were nuclear magnetic resonance...
Function of adenovirus early region 4 proteins in RNA processing and cellular transformation
(1995-11-17)
For almost 30 years, adenovirus has been used as a model system for mechanistic studies of eucaryote gene expression. In this thesis, we have concentrated our efforts to investigate the function of adenovirus early region 4 (E4) gene products...
Glutathione metabolism of human skeletal muscle in surgical trauma
(1997-03-14)
measurement of GSH and GSSG in
various human tissues biopsy specimens is developed, which enables
extensive studies of glutathione metabolism.
Key words- glutathione, cysteine, skeletal muscle, surgical trauma,
critical illness, human.
