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 ...
Novel signaling pathways : induced by bacterial toxins in eukaryotic cells
(2005-09-23)
-membrane protein glycophorin, which acts as a signaling receptor. The binding mechanism, which involves all the functional domains of the Hly-protein, results in activation of the cytoskeleton effector proteins RhoA and ezrin, as well as stimulation of the IP 3 R...
Standardization and application of quantitative PCR methods in patients with hematological malignancies
(2004-10-29)
Using modem combination chemotherapy regimens, it has been possible to increase the rate of complete remission (CR) in acute lymphoblastic (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The major reason for treatment failure in ...
Urinary leakage and physical activity in young women
(2005-11-18)
The effect of recreational physical activity on urinary leakage/ incontinence (UL/UI) with regard to load on the pelvic floor (PF) in young women has not been studied specifically.
The aim of the present work was, ...
Pituitary autoantibodies in endocrine disorders
(2005-09-30)
by immunoblotting. Reactivity to a M, 49 000 pituitary autoantigen was significantly more frequent in patients with idiopathic pituitary hormone deficiency (6/21 (28%) p< 0.05) as well as their relatives (10/35 (28%) p<0.02) compared to control subjects (3/44 (6...
Interaction between waterborne pathogenic bacteria and Acanthamoeba catellanii
(2005-12-30)
than 3 weeks. In contrast, growth of singly cultured bacteria decreased significantly to non-detectable level within 2 weeks confirming the intracellular behaviour of the bacterium. The co-cultivation decreased growth of the amoebae in comparison...
Reasons for non-vaccination
(2006-05-25)
Vaccines are among the most effective public health interventions used today. Population based vaccination programmes are mainly aimed at protecting against common childhood diseases, but other population groups are also ...
Modulation of the HPA axis alters the sensitivity of the cochlea to acoustic trauma
(2006-10-27)
The hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis (HPA axis) regulates nearly all neuroendocrine responses of the body. An active HPA axis is crucial to maintaining homeostasis. An altered reactivity of the HPA axis can affect several ...
Regulation of carbohydrate metabolism in skeletal muscle during and after contraction
(2006-11-03)
It is well known that exercise increases glucose transport into skeletal muscles. The regulation of this transport, however, is poorly understood. An increased understanding of the mechanisms underlying glucose transport ...
Long-term neurodevelopmental outcome after moderate neonatal encephalopathy and after post-term birth : two population-based studies
(2006-03-17)
Long-term neurodevelopmental outcome in two population-based groups of children with different perinatal events was studied: A) Children born at term with moderate neonatal encephalopathy (NE) and B) children born post-term ...
