Structural studies of some bacterial polysaccharides and extension of a method for lipid A cleavage
(2002-09-13)
The focus of the work presented in this thesis has been to study the
structures of the capsular polysaccharide from Serratia marcescens
O14:K12, and the O-antigen polysaccharides from Hafnia alvei strain 10457
and Vibrio cholerae serogroup 037...
Description and prediction of clinical radiosensitivity : emphasis on normal tissue reactions

. The 5 and 10 years Kaplan-Meier actuarial
risk of hypothyroidism was 20% and 27%, respectively. Multivariate
analysis of data showed that bilateral neck irradiation (relative hazard
[RH] 0.37, p = 0.02), pre-TSH value (RH 1.58, p < 0.001), addition...

(2003-11-07)
,585 women in 1992-97 was carried out. Study II: A simple random sample of 5,037 Swedish-born and 629 foreign-born women (aged 2041 the first occasion) was interviewed during 1983-1990 and 1991-1998. The risk of Limiting Longstanding illness (LLSI...
Multiparameter flow cytometry and minimal residual disease in patients with acute leukemia
(2003-12-26)
The investigation of minimal residual disease (MRD) with multiparameter flow cytometry (FC) immunophenotyping has proven to be a powerful approach for disease monitoring in patients with acute leukemia (AL). This technique ...
Platelet and leukocyte activation, and platelet-leukocyte cross-talk : mechanistic aspects with special reference to diabetes mellitus
(2003-11-21)
Platelet-leukocyte cross-talk modulates platelet and leukocyte function, and appears to be important in thrombosis and haemostasis. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with platelet and leukocyte dysfunction and ...

/10) than CCs from patients without PSC (7/18) (p<0.05). 12% (2/17) of large bile ducts from PSC patients without CC displayed aneuploidy of DNA. In a large cohort of Swedish PSC patients (n=604), we assessed the risk of malignancies in PSC compared...
Minimally invasive hernia surgery

The present study on non-obese Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rats with type-2 diabetes and neuropathy was an attempt to describe and define pertinent features of diabetic osteopathy. Altogether, the study included 33 GK rats aged 12 ...
Nuclear hormone receptors studied by molecular dynamics computer simulations
(2004-03-05)
Nuclear hormone receptors form a super family of homologous transcription factors. The liganddependent nuclear receptors are important drug targets controlling metabolic and inflammatory disorders, amongst others. The ...
