Modulation of acetylcholine release by serotonergic 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B receptors : a microdialysis study in the awake rat
(2007-05-25)
)
in separate groups of awake rats.
Robalzotan (0.3; 1 and 3 µmol/kg s.c.) caused a dose-dependent increase
of extracellular ACh levels in the rat FC to a maximal value of about
210-280% of controls at the highest dose. ACh concentrations returned...

(2007-11-29)
Very little research has been conducted to identify patients own
perspectives of having gallstone disease and their own experiences of
symptoms the first postoperative week following laparoscopic
cholecystectomy, LC. ...
Analytical and pharmacological studies of cyclophosphamide
(2008-03-17)
-liquid extraction (LLE) and analyzed using liquid chromatography with UV detection (LC-UV). The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.005 μg/mL and the limit of quantification was 0.5 μg/mL for LC-MS/MS. The accuracy of the quality control (QC) samples ranged from 91...
The p53 pathway : role of telomerase and identification of novel targets : acts of a master regulator of tumor suppression
(2007-05-17)
A key role of the p53 protein in tumor suppression is reflected by its
frequent mutations in human tumors. p53 is activated by various types
stress conditions such as DNA damage, hypoxia and oncogene activation
that ...

Strategies to increase effectiveness of growth factor receptors-targeted therapy in glioblastoma
(2007-11-14)
Gliomas are the most common glial neoplasms, accounting for nearly 70% of
all primary brain tumours. The progression of low-grade gliomas into more
aggressive tumours is supported by the abnormal function of several
prot ...
Ultrasound, ions and combined modalities for increased local tumour cell death in radiation therapy
(2007-05-03)
In this thesis, new approaches to improve tumour therapy for patients with inoperable, radiation- and chemoresistant tumours were in focus. Ultrasound and ionising radiation, especially accelerated ions, are both non-invasive ...

(2007-01-12)
Abuse and dependency of alcohol or drugs is a major problem today, with
severe implications for society as well as for the individual. Treatment
is often characterised by hard work and the road to recovery is (among
other ...
Aspects of the role of mineral oil as immunological adjuvants in rheumatoid arthritis
(2007-02-16)
-1.7). Mineral oil exposure was associated with a particularly high risk of developing rheumatoid factor positive RA (RR =1.4, 95% CI =1.0-2.0) and anti-citrulline positive RA (anti-CCP+RA) (RR =1.6, 95% CI=1.1-2.2). The highest risk of developing anti- CCP...
