Human papillomavirus in tonsillar cancer
(2002-11-01)
. Furthermore, p53 IHC and HPV varied independently. HPV-1 6 was mainly episomal and the data suggest that a high viral load may be of an advantage for clinical outcome in patients with HPV positive tonsillar tumors. Independently of HPV status, there was a high...
Mechanisms influencing activation and survival of normal and malignant lymphoid cells in the testis
(2002-11-28)
was TGFbeta. Neutralizing TGFbeta antibodies could reverse suppression of lymphocyte proliferation induced by testis protein extracts as further evidence that the activity is mediated by TGFbeta. TGFbeta dose-dependently inhibited rat testicular interleukin-1...
Receptor use of primate lentiviruses
(2003-03-21)
of HIV-1 isolates was studied in the context of mother-to-child transmission. 28 pregnant Cameroonian women and their newborn children were followed. Viruses from most of the patients (23 women) belonged to HIV-1 of genetic subtype A. Isolates...
Genetic polymorphism and natural killer cell activity in multiple myeloma
(2002-05-17)
that genetic factors may play a role in the development of MM. Susceptibility genes for MM, with the exception of MHC class I, have not yet been identified. Cytokines such as IL-10, IL-6, interleukin (IL)-1beta and tumour necrosis factor (TNF...
A microcell hybrid based elimination test to identify human chromosome 3 regions that antagonize tumor growth
(2003-05-20)
defined within CER at it centromeric border, at 3p21.33 between D3S1029 and LRRC2 gene, a common eliminated region 1 (CER1) of about 2.4 Mb. A common eliminated region 2 (CER2) of about 1.1 Mb was mapped within CER at it telomeric border at 3p22 between RH...
Longitudinal studies of human papillomavirus infection : with special reference to screening for cervical cancer and treatment of CIN
(2003-10-03)
-limiting infections.
Study IV: The antibody response to four major HPVs was determined in a European multi-centre study of 222 HIV-positive women with a known interval of HIV-seroconversion. HPV seroprevalences were high, ranging from 44% for HPV33 to 18% for HPV73...
Image-based dynamic liver testing : studies of segmental hepatic parenchymal function and biliary flow using dynamic 99Tcm-HIDA SPECT
(2002-11-22)
The aim of the study was to create a dynamic liver function test using a tomographic imaging procedure as sampling method. The liver has multiple and complex functions. It is obvious that no single test can give a comprehensive ...
Sample preparation and mass spectrometry in proteome studies
(2004-05-07)
Proteome studies aim to link gene to function. Instead of screening for function in a specific protein as in classical protein chemistry, proteins are now screened against a specific phenotype, disease or metabolic state. ...
Shock wave effects on the vascular endothelium
(2002-05-24)
on the adhesion molecules P-selectin, E-selectin and ICAM-1 as well as cytoskeletal organization. A previous study had shown that H2O2 can induce reversible disassembly of tubulin and vimentin filaments. No significant effects of SWs per se, on the studied...
Physical activity and fitness among adolescents in Sweden with a 20-year trend perspective
(2003-10-03)
To prevent chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and type-2 diabetes, it is important to avoid body fatness, to remain physically active and to maintain aerobic fitness. It is also important to maintain a certain ...
