Hemostasis in middle-aged women with coronary heart disease
(2004-08-20)
were included in the study. The mean age±SD were 56±7 years in both patients and controls. Plasma levels of fibrinogen, coagulation factor VII (FVII), von Willebrand factor antigen (vWFag) and plasminogen activator inhibitor1 activity (PAI-1), and serum...
Posterior ocular malformations in children : teratological aspects
(2003-05-16)
with Toxoplasma gondii. Among 40 978 newborn children screened neonatally, three had congenital toxoplasmosis. Two were asymptomatic at birth and would have escaped early detection and therapy without neonatal screening. They were treated for 12 months with anti...
Clinically important mycobacteria in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa : phenotypic and genetic diversity
(2004-09-24)
. Phenotypically, these isolates were assigned to one
of five biovars, ranging within a spectrum of classical M. tuberculosis
(biovar 5) to classical M. bovis (biovar 1). Genotypically, the strains
could be divided into three groups (A-C), of which group A isolates...
G-proteins and adenylyl cyclase in Alzheimer's disease postmortem brain
(2002-01-25)
related to clinical symptoms. Immunoblotting of homogenates from the same tissues revealed a significant decrease in G, in hippocampus, and an increase in the Ca2+/CaM dependent AC isoform 1.
In conclusion, the results presented in this thesis indicate...

(2002-09-18)
The overall aim of the study was to explore and describe the views and

Diagnostic evaluation of fetal death with special reference to intrauterine infections
(2002-05-10)
-99 according to an extensive investigational protocol. A presumptive explanation of the stillbirth was established in 91% of the cases. The most common factors associated with intrauterine fetal death could be identified as infections (24%), placental...
Paracrine regulation of Sertoli cell proliferation
(2003-02-14)
-1alpha (IL-alpha), which is constitutively produced by the adult testis. Immature rat testis produced a Sertoli cell growth stimulating factor(s) in the 45 kDa size range that still remains to be identified. The recombinant pro-inflammatory cytokines...
Immunological effects of interferon-beta and glatiramer acetate in multiple sclerosis
(2004-05-06)
(ELISA), we found that DCs from MS patients expressed higher levels of CD 1a and produced lower amounts of interleukin-10 (IL-10) than DCs from healthy controls (HCs). IFN-beta or GA upregulated HLA-DR and CD86, and reduced CD 1a expression on DCs from...
Identification of the common eliminated region (CER1) by the microcell hybrid based 'elimination test'
(2001-11-27)
The aim of elimination test (Et) is to identify tumor antagonizing genes
from chromosome regions that are regularly deleted in microcell hybrid
(MCH) derived tumors through serial SCID mice passages. Et so far was
focused ...
Aspects on latency in HIV-1 infection
(2010-04-16)
The use of combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) has resulted in a substantial reduction in viremia, a rebound of CD4+ T-cells and increased survival for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infected individuals. Unfortunately, ART does...
