Studies on vascular remodeling in acute coronary artery disease
(2005-08-26)
preparation. Specific objectives were to compare protease expression, apoptosis and angiogenesis between stable and unstable plaques, to study MMP9 induction in vein grafts after surgical handling, and to explore the impact of cytokines on MMP1 and MMP9...
Blue light induced retinal damage
(2004-09-17)
is geographically correlated with the loss of the photoreceptor cells in the outer nuclear layer.
In subsequent studies procaspase-3 and procaspase-9 proteins were shown to be constitutively expressed in the rat retina and were upregulated after in vivo exposure...
Ancestral influences on health of grandchildren
(2005-03-22)
surfeit of food during his SW, the proband had a fourfold excess mortality related to diabetes (OR 4.1, 95% c.i. 1.33-12.9 p=0.01) when age at death and the effects of parents and other grandparents exposure to food availability during their SGP were taken...
Nitric oxide : a surrogate marker of bowel inflammation
(2005-10-28)
% and specificity of 91 % in discriminating between IBS and active IBD. Rectal levels of NO were correlated to disease activity in patients with IBD or CC and were reduced markedly in IBD patients who responded to treatment. Surprisingly, rectal levels of NO were...
Therapeutic myocardial angiogenesis and its pharmacological modulation
(2005-09-30)
Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels induced by the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells. Because angiogenesis is a complex process, therapeutic efficacy may be improved by overexpression of ...
Telephone support for smoking cessation : the Swedish example
(2005-11-11)
professionals 3.5 (1.0-12.3), additional social support 3.1 (1.6-6.1), absence of stress or depressive mood 2.7 (1.6-4.7), nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) for five weeks or more 2.1 (1.1-4.1), and no exposure to second-hand smoke 1.9 (1.1-3.3). High intensity...
Novel non-collagenous modulators of biomineralization in bone and dentin
(2004-11-26)
The formation of mineralized tissues such as bones and teeth is governed on many levels by molecular, genetic, and cellular events to culminate in terminally differentiated cells that secrete a specialized organic matrix, ...
Studies of cellular pathogenesis in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
(2004-08-20)
In this thesis, I have studied antigen-specific therapeutic interventions
of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and aimed to
understand the respective roles of different cell subsets in initiation
and ...
Mild head injury : inhospital observation or computed tomography?
(2005-11-25)
review identified and critically assessed representative
series including 24 000 patients. Based on a metaanalysis of their
results, it was estimated that: of 1 000 patients arriving at hospital
with mild head injury, 1 will die, 9 will require surgery...
Genome instability, gene expression and prognosis in breast cancer
(2005-02-18)
aberrations in Agu breast tumors but not in the genomically stable aneuploid (Ags) and diploid (Dgs) subtypes.
In a follow-up study comprising 890 patients with primary breast adenocarcinoma, and an average follow-up period of 8.9 years, we measured...
