1. The effects of anandamide on K+ currents and membrane potential have been examined in freshly-isolated smooth muscle cells from rat hepatic artery and the results compared with the effects of this arachidonic acid derivative on tension and membrane potential changes in segments of whole artery. 2. In the presence of 0.3 mM L-NOARG and 10 μM indomethacin, anandamide (0.1-100 μM) and endothelium-
Popular Abstract in English My PhD thesis has focused on increasing the understanding of the osteoclasts, the cells responsible for degradation of bone, by studying the rare hereditary disease autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (ARO). ARO is present already at birth and is caused by mutations affecting the osteoclasts ability to degrade bone. Non-functional osteoclasts lead to dramatic increases inThis thesis focuses on developing and characterizing novel models for studying osteoclasts with an emphasis on how mutations abolishing osteoclastic acidification affect osteoclast signaling and bone remodeling, as well as how to treat patients bearing these rare mutations. Bone remodeling is under normal circumstances a tightly balanced process where resorption of bone by osteoclasts is followed
The thesis discusses closed-loop control of the hypnotic and the analgesic components of anesthesia. The objective of the work has been to develop a system which independently controls the intravenous infusion rates of the hypnotic drug propofol and analgesic drug remifentanil. The system is designed to track a reference hypnotic depth level, while maintaining adequate analgesia. This is complicat
Popular Abstract in Swedish Cancer i tjock- och ändtarm drabbar årligen drygt 5000 svenskar. En rad faktorer har satts i samband med tumöruppkomst i tarmen, bl a ärftlighet, inflammatorisk tarmsjukdom, kost och motion, men det är till stor del okänt hur dessa faktorer orsakar cancerutveckling. Genetiska förändringar styr tumörutvecklingen Tumörerna utvecklas oftast från ett godartat förstadium, Colorectal cancer is one of our most common malignancies and the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. About 1/3 of the tumors are located in the rectum. Treatment advances such as the introduction of the standardized surgical technique total mesorectal excision (TME), pre-operative radiotherapy, and adjuvant chemotherapy have reduced the previously high local recurrence rates and improv
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det blir allt vanligare att man ersätter förlorade och skadade kroppsdelar med ett biomaterial (vanligtvis ett metall eller polymer implantat). Exempel på vanliga användningsområden är; suturer, kärl, hjärtklaffar, pacemakers, katetrar, ledproteser, fixationsskruvar för skelett och konstgjorda tänder samt kapslar för långsam frisättning av medicin. Trots det rutinmässigThe biological response to different implanted biomaterials vary. The relative importance of factors in the material and host for this variation are at present incompletely known. The variation in the cellular response to specific proteins and the rapid adsorption of proteins to surfaces exposed to biological environments has created the hypothesis that the cellular interactions with biomaterials
There is a growing evidence that neuropeptides may be involved in the pathophysiology of suicidal behavior. A critical review of the literature was conducted to investigate the association between neuropeptides and suicidal behavior. Only articles from peer-reviewed journals were selected for the inclusion in the present review. Twenty-six articles were assessed for eligibility but only 22 studies
In this study we investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the genes coding for BDNF (Val66Met) and VEGF (C2578A) may be associated with maladaptive strategies among suicide attempt patients. We found that BDNF Val66Met gene polymorphism probably affect avoidant coping strategies.
Oats (Avena sativa) are part of the cereal whole grain family, and their production is on the rise for the past few years due to extensive research done on the health benefits it can provide to humans. ScanOats project in Sweden is one of the research groups across the world that has done extensive work on oats. The lines CT-BG-53, CT-BG-21, and CT-BG-37 are mutant lines harvested by Crop Tailor A
Mental health problems among children and youth is positioned as one of the most urgent public health issues in Sweden today. Both research and official reports assert that mental health issues have increased among adolescents, especially girls, during the last decades. The aim of this study is to investigate how changes in childhood and gender discourses has implicated the construction of young p
The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of joint fusion and bone formation in dogs undergoing atlantoaxial arthrodesis after removal of articular cartilage associated or not to implant homogenous or autogenous cancellous bone. Twelve dogs, weighing between 8 and 12kg were randomly divided into three groups. Group I (GI) performed only the removal of joint cartilage and joint immobilizatio
Background: Bariatric surgery is a standard treatment for severe obesity, but little is known about patients’ perceptions about the long-term impact of such surgery. Objective: The aim of this study was to explore patients’ experiences of living with a bariatric procedure for more than a decade. Setting: University hospital. Methods: At the 10-year follow-up after undergoing Roux-en-Y gastric bypa
A key policy question is whether continued expansion of university education is beneficial for the marginally eligible student. In this paper we exploit an arbitrary university eligibility rule combined with regression discontinuity design to estimate the causal effect of university attendance on healthcare utilization amongst young adults in Sweden. We find that the eligibility rule leads to a cl
Families living with a person with mental illness can experience distress requiring therapeutic interventions. Web-based mindfulness interventions have shown beneficial health outcomes for both clinical and healthy populations, and may help families cope and overcome barriers that can otherwise hinder a help-seeking process. Aims: To develop and assess outcomes of a web-based mindfulness intervent
To be a caregiver while also being next of kin is emotionally charged. This article discusses narratives of care that goes beyond what Amelia DeFalco calls “caregiving at the limit”, i.e. care necessary for basic survival. In these narratives of what we call desperate care, not only is life at stake, but the care is anxious and urgent, partly done against the will of the care recipient, and the ca

Reduction of the anticancer trans platinum(IV) prodrug JM335 by thiols in a moderately alkaline aqueous perchlorate medium is quite rapid and yields trans-[Pt(OH)2(c-C6H11NH2)(NH3)] as the reaction product. The mechanism of reduction involves reductive attack by thiol or thiolate on one of the mutually trans chloride ligands, leading to the formation of a chloride-bridged activated complex.The red
