(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. ...
Molecular dynamics simulations of RNA bulges, loops and base flipping
(2008-01-11)
out at pH 5.7. The pathway of this base flipping is studied. We demonstrate that the minor groove pathway is preferred over the major groove pathway, and that protonation on an A adjacent to the flipping U lowers the energy barrier ~3.5 kcal...
Human 15-lipoxygenase-1 and telomerase gene expression in cancer and inflammation
(2008-03-07)
Human 15-lipoxygenase type 1 (15-LOX-1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the oxygenation of free or membrane-bond polyunsaturated fatty acids containing at least one bis-allylic methylene moiety. The enzyme has been proposed ...
PET evaluation of central serotonergic neurotransmission in women
(2008-02-08)
The serotonin (5-HT) system is of central interest in the patophysiology and treatment of several psychiatric disorders including depression, anxiety and suicide. In women, functioning of the 5-HT system is of particular importance since they have...
Autocrine and paracrine regulation of Leydig cell survival in the postnatal testis
(2007-09-07)
The primary function of testicular Leydig cells is the production of androgens that promote sexual differentiation in the fetus, secondary sexual maturation at the. time of puberty, and spermatogenesis in the adult. ...
Human serum transferrin glycosylation pattern : population differences, analytical methodology and application as a biomarker for testing of alcohol abuse and CDG
(2007-11-16)
Alcohol use and abuse is a major social and economic problem in many
societies. Carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT) is a widely used and
highly specific biochemical alcohol marker of prolonged alcohol abuse.
Increased ...
In vivo imaging of islet cells and islet revascularization
(2007-03-02)
Glucose homeostasis depends on the release of insulin from the pancreatic
beta-cell. Impaired insulin release is a hallmark of diabetes mellitus.
The beta-cells are situated within the endocrine pancreas, the islets ...
Icodextrin metabolism in peritoneal dialysis : clinical and experimental studies
(2007-10-19)
Icodextrin is a glucose polymer which is used as osmotic agent to provide
sustained ultrafiltration (UF) during the long (8-16 hours) dwell in
end-stage renal disease patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). The
aims ...
Studies of ischemia and reperfusion in muscle and liver on glutathione and amino acid metabolism in man
(2007-11-23)
surgery. In
this study biopsies were obtained before ischemia, at maximal ischemia
and at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 minutes of reperfusion.
Results from the first two studies show that both reduced and total
glutathione are decreased at 24 and 48 hours...
Parental smoking, wheezing and sensitisation in early childhood
(2008-01-18)
years of age the response rate was 91% (3,619 children) and among these 73% participated in a clinical investigation including peak flow measurements and blood sampling for analyses of IgE antibodies to common inhalant and food allergens. Odds ratios...
