Chemoattractants as causative agents, biomarkers and therapeutic targets in vascular pathology
(2006-09-22)
Atherosclerosis and restenosis are driven by chronic immune response in the vascular wall. This involves cell migration into and within the vessel wall, cell proliferation as well as accumulation of lipids in the vessel ...
The epidemiology of low back pain in the general population and after motor vehicle collisions : population-based investigations
(2004-11-23)
adults. Drivers making claims for rear-end
collisions were divided into those with whiplash (n=232) and those
without (n=204). Drivers that had not been involved in a collision were
randomly selected as the reference (n=3,688). The relative risks...
Regulation of gene and protein expression : two model systems
(2005-11-25)
Genetic information is expressed by DNA transcription and mRNA translation. With few exceptions, every cell of an organism, or the human body, contains the same genetic information. Yet the structure and function of different ...
Aspects on the etiology of esophageal and gastric cancer
(2004-11-12)
completeness of the Cancer Register of 98.3%, while the site-specific accuracy was only 63% for esophageal adenocarcinoma, 74% for gastric cardia adenocarcinoma, and 91% for esophageal squamous-cell carcinoma. The increasing incidence rate of esophageal...
Organohalogen environmental pollutants in Baltic fish : chemical characterization and toxicological evaluation with a focus on bone disturbances
(2005-10-28)
effects of several components of the diets. Serum levels of n-6 and n-3 PUFA reflected the vegetable oil or fish oil content of the diets.
By using Han/Wistar (H/W) and Long-Evans (L-E) rat strains, which differ in their sensitivity to the toxicity...
Liver transplantation and the role of adjuvant therapy for advanced primary liver tumours
(2005-11-11)
evaluation of our own series of patients (n = 55) with. cirrhosis and HCC that have undergone LT. Two-third of the patients did not meet the standard selection criteria defined as single tumour < 5 em or 5 3 tumours, none sized > 3 em. We found...
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 ...
Novel insulin-like growth factor-binding protein proteases : detection and characterization
(2006-10-07)
the availability of IGFs (IGF-I and IGF-II) to their receptors. In the circulation IGFs and IGFBP-3 or IGFBP-5 can bind an acid-labile subunit (ALS) to form a high molecular mass complex, which constitutes a circulating reservoir of IGFs. Post...
DNA lesions and carcinogenicity from the urban air pollutants 2- and 3-nitrobenzanthrone
(2006-11-10)
the discovery of 3-nitrobenzanthrone (3-NBA), a pollutant originating from diesel emissions. 3-NBA was isolated from the organic fraction of particulate matter and immediately qualified to be among the most mutagenic substances known. More over, it has...
Tobacco smoking and vertical periodontal bone loss
(2005-05-18)
revealed a right - left hand side symmetry. Cigarette smoking was significantly associated with the prevalence and severity of vertical bone defects (Studies II and III). The relative risk associated with current smoking was 2 to 3-fold increased...
