Progression and treatment of experimental peri-implantitis
(2011-04-21)
Peri-implantitis is characterized by inflammatory lesions in peri-implant tissues and loss of supporting bone. The aims of the present series of studies were to analyze (i) spontaneous progression and (ii) the effect of ...
Inflammation and neuroprotective strategies in the immature brain after hypoxic-ischemic brain injury
(2008-05-13)
Perinatal brain injury, as a result of hypoxia-ischemia (HI) or infection/HI, is a major cause of acute mortality and neurological morbidity in infants and children. The mechanisms of perinatal HI are not fully understood, ...
The Nordic Expert Group for Criteria Documentation of Health Risks from Chemicals. 150. Silicon carbide
(Arbets- och miljömedicin, Göteborgs universitet, 2018-01-20)
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a rare naturally occurring mineral, but manufactured industrially at a large scale. SiC may exist in non-fibrous (angular) and fibrous forms (polycrystalline fibres and single crystal whiskers). ...
Molecular and structural patterns of guided bone regeneration (GBR). Experimental studies on the role of GBR membrane and bone substitute materials
(2015-09-15)
The mechanisms of guided bone regeneration (GBR) and bone healing with calcium phosphate (CaP) bone substitutes are not fully understood. The major aim of this thesis was to determine the relationship between the bone ...
Secretory and anti-inflammatory actions of some gastro-intestinal hormones in salivary glands
(2009-09-17)
Textbooks generally state that the secretory activity of salivary glands is solely regulated by nerves. This view is challenged in the present Thesis, using the parotid gland of the anaesthetized rat as experimental in ...
On the importance of inflammation for personality traits and psychiatric morbidity
(2010-12-10)
Background: Pro-inflammatory mediators have been implicated in processes that could be both beneficial and toxic to cells in the brain. On the one hand balanced levels of these mediators favour e.g. neurodevelopmental ...
Regional differences in the response of neural stem cells and their microenvironment to ionizing radiation
(2009-05-14)
Radiation therapy is one of the most effective tools for treating malignant tumors; however, cranial irradiation often results in intellectual impairment and cognitive deficits, such as impaired learning and memory. Ionizing ...
Iron deficiency in female adolescent athletes - prevalence, mechanisms and diagnostics
(2014-05-26)
Background: Iron deficiency (ID) is a very common condition and the most
common nutritional deficiency in the world. ID mostly affects females, both
athletes and non-athletes. Several underlying mechanisms are identified ...
Mechanisms of Lung Injury in a Mouse Model of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
(2009-11-26)
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease that affects preterm infants. Increased levels of inflammatory mediators in the amniotic fluid and in the lungs of preterm infants are associated with the development ...
Resistin is a modulator of inflammation and autoimmunity
(2009-11-18)
Resistin is a protein with proinflammatory properties in man and a regulator of glucose
metabolism in mice. Human resistin activates the nuclear factor kappa-B dependent
cytokine cascade; however, its full role in ...
