(2002-11-22)
The aim of the present study was to assess the validity of combining radiology and fine needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of bone lesions.
Patients and Methods Radiological, cytological and histopathologic findings in 494 cases...
Molecular mechanisms of insulin action in human skeletal muscle and adipose tissue : implications for diabetes and obesity
(2002-05-22)
diabetic subjects. Skeletal muscle biopsies were obtained before and after insulin infusion. In vivo hyperinsulinemia activated early insulin signaling events in human skeletal muscle, including the insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-1...
Studies on global regulators involved in virulence gene expression in Staphylococcus aureus
(2003-05-16)
regulated genes, hla (alpha-hemolysin), hld (RNAIII), spa (protein A) and ssp (serine protease) a new global regulator, SarH1 (renamed SarS), was identified. Transcription analysis revealed that sarS was strongly repressed by both sarA and agr...
Influence of probiotics and other external factors on intestinal biochemical microflora-associated characteristics : studies in vitro and in vivo in gnotobiotic mice and in pigs
(2002-08-09)
The benefit of harboring a balanced intestinal microflora is well recognized. Therefore, in order to 'maintain or improve the intestinal flora, the use of microbial species as feed supplements, i.e. probiotics, has rapidly ...
Spinal cord injury : mechanical and molecular aspects
(2002-05-10)
Traumatic spinal cord injury leads to full or partial paralysis and loss
of sensation below the level of injury. The annual incidence of spinal
cord injury in the United States is 3-5 per 100,000 and in Sweden is
1.5-2 per 100,000. This translates...

Strategies of gene and immune therapy for tumors and viral diseases
(2003-04-04)
In the treatment of tumors and viral diseases such as HIV-1 infection, immunotherapeutic strategies do not seem to have enough capacity to eradicate an already established disease. However, these strategies could play a unique role as adjuvant...
Malignant mesothelioma : an experimental study with emphasis on proteoglycans in mesothelial cell growth and differentiation
(2002-04-17)
Malignant mesothelioma is a highly aggressive tumor with median survival ranging from 4 to 12 months and, despite intense therapeutical efforts, it is invariably fatal. Mesothelioma cells are unique in the sense that they ...
Bioactive peptides and proteins in disease
(2004-05-17)
Regulatory peptides and marker proteins are important to study in order to understand disease mechanisms. This applies of course also to our common diseases where all relationships are not yet known. Cancer and diabetes ...
