(2010-03-26)
The overall aim of the thesis was to investigate one aspect of healthy workplaces; namely, how psychosocial work factors affect employees’ general health and organizational production.
The aim of Study I was to ...
Endogenous thrombospondin-1 and proteases in the regulation of lymphocyte adhesion and motility
(2008-09-26)
lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP)/CD91. Interaction of TSP-1 with its cell surface receptors calreticulin (CRT), LRP and integrin associated protein (IAP)/CD47 was promoting motility of T cells in 3D collagen through CD47. T cell surface TSP-1 also...
Genetic content of clinical pneumococcal isolates and its relation to disease outcome
(2009-09-30)
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a Gram-positive bacterium that can cause a wide range of diseases. These include otitis media, sinusitis, pneumonia and meningitis. It can, however, also cause asymptomatic carriage thereby ...
Genetic and functional studies on the thyroid hormone axis
(2008-10-24)
studied in 31 patients with symptomatic acquired hypothyroidism. Children with hypothyroidism were examined before starting thyroxin therapy and 1 week and 1, 3, and 6 months after starting thyroxin therapy. Thirteen patients were reinvestigated at 6, 12...
Studies on female genital tract infections and the role of nitric oxide in diagnosis
(2010-04-16)
Female genital tract infections are among the most common conditions causing individuals to seek medical care, and are associated with a high gynaecologic and reproductive morbidity. Thus, prompt and precise diagnosis of ...
Studies on cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 and 15-lipoxygenase-1 in lymphomas
(2008-08-22)
Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) is a malignant disorder with striking
inflammatory features. Since cysteinyl leukotrienes (cysLTs) are potent
inflammatory mediators it was of interest to study their potential role
in ...
Estrogen and aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling
(2009-05-22)
disruptive chemicals (EDCs). Many EDCs are ligands for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) that regulates the cellular response to xenobiotics. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD; dioxin) is one example of an extremely toxic contaminant with endocrine...
Molecular dynamics of protein-nucleic acid complexes
(2010-04-16)
Nucleic acids are essential molecules when it comes to replication, transcription and translation of the genetic information and nearly all functions of nucleic acids are carried out in complex with proteins. The proteins ...
Stimulus evoked transient dynamics in the primary visual cortex in vivo : voltage sensitive dye and extracellular recordings
(2008-05-22)
In this study we investigated how the primary visual cortex responds to a
change in the visual scene. In analogy to dynamical systems theory such
temporal step input gives information about the rules governing ...
The role of substance P in respiratory control in the newborn : effects of morphine and nicotine
(2008-11-07)
We breathe in order to maintain oxygen, carbon dioxide and pH levels
within the physiological range in response to the metabolic demands of
the body. To achieve this, the respiratory control system is dependent on
input ...
