Regulation of tartrate-resistant purple acid phosphatase by proteolytic processing in rat
(2005-02-25)
inhibitory interactions to active site residues affecting the Fe2+. Conversion of Ser1 45 or Asp 146 into Ala, which should eliminate the putative interaction of the side chains with the active site residues Asn91 or His92, resulted in increased enzyme...
Chemoattractants as causative agents, biomarkers and therapeutic targets in vascular pathology
(2006-09-22)
-PSOX, which mediates uptake of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) by cells. We detected abundant CXCL16/SR-PSOX and CXCR6 expression in atherosclerotic lesions from human subjects and apolipoprotein-Edeficient (ApoE-/-) mice. In monocytes, CXCL16/SR...
Maternal morbidity in Uganda : studies on life-threatening pregnancy complications in low-income settings
(2004-11-25)
women without post-abortion infection; but this was double the
seroprevalence among antenatal clients in the same hospital, 14.6% in
1997. HIV-1 seroprevalence was significantly higher among women with
postpartum endometritismyometritis (PPEM) than...
Application of nuclear medicine methods in patients with breast cancer
(2005-04-29)
While physical examination, mammography and aspiration cytology or core biopsy form the basis in the diagnosis of breast cancer, additional examinations are sometimes required in the evaluation of unclear breast masses. ...
Immune reconstitution after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
(2004-11-05)
After treatment with allogeneic hernatopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) the patient suffers from a deficient immune system for at least 12 months or longer. During this period, the patient is susceptible to infections ...
Genetic association analysis of overlapping biological pathways in cardiovascular and Alzheimer disease
(2006-05-26)
To gain insight into the importance of the genome for diseases, sequencing and genotyping efforts aim to identify the consequences of genetic variation on both a functional and population level. The task involves the ...
Human salmonellosis : impact of travel and trade from a Swedish perspective
(2006-09-08)
of import rules, but also how this trend could be broken by active information. In Paper II, we showed the risk of travel-associated salmonellosis to be highest in East Africa and the Indian subcontinent. Children aged 0-6 years were at higher risk than...
Bad breath : prevalence, periodontal disease, microflora and inflammatory markers
(2005-03-29)
Bad breath usually originates within the oral cavity and is believed to be associated with periodontal disease. The over all aim of the present thesis was to study periodontal conditions in subjects with bad breath as well ...
Biosynthesis of leukotriene B4 in hematological malignancies
(2005-05-27)
Leukotrienes (LT) are biologically active metabolites of the fatty acid
arachidonic acid (AA). After liberation of AA by phospholipase A 2 (PLA
2), this fatty acid can be converted to leukotrienes, lipoxins,
prostaglandins ...
Oral mucosal lesions, tobacco use and the long-term outcome in a Swedish population
(2006-11-10)
to oropharyngeal cancer, there was a statistically significantly higher incidence among those who were or had been snus users compared to those who had never used snus, based on 11 exposed cases (IRR 3.1, 95% CI 1.5-6.6). For mortality ever daily smoking...
